[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in the utility model will not be described separately.

It should be understood that the orientation descriptions "above", "below", "outside" and "inside" are all orientations in normal use, and the "left" and "right" directions represent the left and right directions shown in the specific corresponding schematic diagrams, which may or may not be the left and right directions in normal use.

[0018] It should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element. "Multiple" means greater than or equal to two.

[0019] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a sample analysis system, which includes at least two sample analysis modules. Before introducing the sample analysis system of the embodiment of the present utility model, the sample analysis modules are first introduced.

[0020] The sample analysis module is used to detect and analyze the sample to output the detection result, which may include a scheduling device and a detection device. The scheduling device may include an injection component for users to put into the sample rack and a scheduling mechanism.

[0021] The detection and analysis here can be biochemical analysis, immunological analysis, or any other type of analysis. The full name of biochemical analysis is biochemical analysis, and its main analysis content is the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the main substances and metabolites involved in the body's metabolic process; the full name of immunological analysis is immunological analysis, and its analysis targets are the qualitative and quantitative analysis of humoral immune substances involved in immune response, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various immune cells involved in cellular immunity, and the qualitative analysis of cytokines involved in immune response.

[0022] The samples here include but are not limited to blood, urine, etc. In clinical practice, doctors collect samples to be tested from patients and store them in sample tubes (such as test tubes). The sample tubes can be transported via sample racks. It should be noted here that the sample rack can be a sample rack with only one position for placing sample test tubes, and only one sample test tube can be transported at a time, or it can be a sample rack that can hold multiple sample test tubes, and multiple sample test tubes can be transported at a time.

[0023] The injection assembly is used for users to put the sample into the above-mentioned sample rack. As an example, the injection assembly may include multiple baffle structures, which are arranged to form an injection channel. The injection channel may have an opening at one end facing the user, and the user can put the sample rack through the opening.

[0024] The dispatch mechanism is used to dispatch the sample rack to the detection device for detection and analysis. As an example, the dispatch mechanism may include, for example, a dispatch vehicle, which can carry the sample rack and can operate in the sample analysis module according to a preset operation logic, thereby realizing the scheduling of the sample rack.

[0025] The specific structure of the detection device can be determined according to the specific detection and analysis items to be completed, and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] The sample analysis system may include multiple different sample analysis modules, and the multiple different sample analysis modules may be cascaded so that samples can flow between different sample analysis modules, thereby enabling pipeline processing of samples. Taking two adjacent sample analysis modules as an example, the side walls of the two adjacent sample analysis modules may be arranged toward each other, and optionally, the two side walls may be mechanically mounted and fixed, and the sample rack in one sample analysis module may be dispatched to another adjacent sample analysis module for detection and analysis, thereby forming a cascade. This usage mode of the sample analysis module is hereinafter referred to as a cascade assembly mode.

[0027] When two adjacent sample analysis modules are cascaded, due to assembly errors, an uneven gap may appear between the side walls of the two adjacent sample analysis modules that are close to each other, such as a trumpet-shaped gap due to a narrow gap on one side and a wide gap on the other side. This uneven gap not only makes the sample analysis system less beautiful, but also may hinder the flow of samples between different sample analysis modules.

[0028] In the related art, a method of adding gaskets is often used to adjust the uniformity of the gap. However, this method is relatively complicated to operate, and the gasket itself also has assembly errors, and the adjustment effect is not ideal.

[0029] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a sample analysis system, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The sample analysis system includes at least two sample analysis modules 1. As an example, the at least two sample analysis modules 1 may include at least one immunoanalysis module and at least one biochemical analysis module.

[0030] Each sample analysis module 1 includes a scheduling device 11 and a detection device 12. The scheduling device 11 includes a sample injection component 111 for the user to put into the sample rack and a scheduling mechanism 112. The scheduling mechanisms 112 of each sample analysis module 1 can work independently of each other, so that the scheduling mechanism 112 of each sample analysis module 1 can independently schedule the sample rack in the sample injection component 111 of the sample analysis module 1 to the detection device 12 of the sample analysis module 1 for detection.

[0031] Here, the scheduling mechanisms 112 of each sample analysis module 1 can work independently of each other, which means that for a certain sample analysis module A, its scheduling mechanism A1 can realize the scheduling of the sample rack in the sample analysis module A without the help of the scheduling mechanism B1 of another sample analysis module B, and the scheduling mechanism B1 can also realize the scheduling of the sample rack in the sample analysis module B without the help of the scheduling mechanism A1.

[0032] Two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 are arranged side by side along a first direction, and the sample analysis modules 1 include a first side wall 13, and the first side walls 13 of the two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 are arranged toward each other and close to each other. The sample analysis system also includes one or more sets of mounting structures 2, and the first side walls 13 of the two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 are mounted and fixed by the mounting structures 2. Figure 4 The mounting structure 2 includes a tensioning member 21 and an opening member 22. The tensioning member 21 is used to apply a force to tighten the first side walls 13 of two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 so that the two first side walls 13 are close to each other. The opening member 22 is used to apply a force to open the first side walls 13 of two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 so as to prevent the two first side walls 13 from approaching each other.

[0033] Thus, in the actual connection process, the width of the gap between the two first side walls 13 can be adjusted by adjusting the force applied by the tensioning member 21 and / or the push-opening member 22. Compared with the related art, the mounting structure 2 provided in this embodiment facilitates adjustment of the width of the gap between the two first side walls 13, and has high adjustment accuracy and a wide range, so that the gap between the first side walls of the sample system provided in the embodiment of the present application has good uniformity, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0034] In some embodiments, the number of mounting structures 2 is at least four groups, and at least one group of mounting structures 2 is respectively arranged at the upper and lower parts of the opposite ends of the first side wall 13 along the second direction, where the second direction intersects with the first direction, and the second direction and the first direction are both perpendicular to the height direction of the sample analysis module 1.

[0035] In this way, at least one set of mounting structures 2 is actually provided at the four corners of the two first side walls 13, so that the width of the gap between the two first side walls 13 in all directions can be adjusted, which helps to improve the uniformity of the adjusted gap width, and helps to maintain the stability of the connection between the two first side walls 13 during actual use and keep the gap width roughly in the adjusted state.

[0036] As an example, the first direction and the second direction may be orthogonal, the first direction and the second direction may both be perpendicular to the height direction of the sample analyzer, and the second direction may be perpendicular to the user's operating plane (the user operating plane here refers to an abstract plane where the user is actually operating). Obviously, the first direction and the second direction may not be orthogonal, but may form an acute angle or an obtuse angle, and the second direction may not be perpendicular to the user's operating plane, but may form an acute angle or an obtuse angle. At least one of the first direction and the second direction may not be perpendicular to the height direction of the sample analyzer.

[0037] It should be noted that the definitions of the first direction, the second direction and the height direction of the sample analyzer involved in other parts below will continue to use the definitions given here, and will not be repeated in the relevant parts below.

[0038] The number and location of the mounting structures 2 are not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art may further arrange more or fewer mounting structures 2 according to actual use requirements, such as arranging at least one group of mounting structures 2 in the middle of the two opposite ends of the first side wall 13 along the second direction, or arranging only one group of mounting structures 2 in the middle of the two opposite sides of the first side wall 13 along the second direction, and so on.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The tensioning member 21 may include a first screw member 211. One of the two first side walls 13 is provided with a through hole 13a, and the other is provided with a first threaded hole 13b. The first screw member 211 passes through the through hole 13a and is screwed into the first threaded hole 13b, thereby applying a force to tighten the two first side walls 13.

[0040] In this way, the magnitude of the force applied by the first screw connector 211 can be adjusted by screwing in or out, which is easy to operate and can achieve stepless adjustment of the force, thereby being able to adjust the gap width with higher precision.

[0041] The first threaded member 211 can be, for example, a bolt, a screw, etc., which is not limited.

[0042] The through hole 13 a may be a hole structure penetrating the first side wall 13 along the first direction.

[0043] The first threaded hole 13 b may be formed by the first side wall 13 , or may be formed by a structure such as a nut or a flange fixed to the first side wall 13 , and there is no limitation to this.

[0044] In some embodiments, the push-opening member 22 includes a second screw member 221, wherein one of the first side walls 13 is provided with a second threaded hole 13c, the second screw member 221 passes through the second threaded hole 13c, and the end face of the second screw member 221 abuts against the surface of the other first side wall 13, thereby exerting a force on the two first side walls 13 to push them apart.

[0045] In this way, the magnitude of the force applied can be adjusted by screwing in or out the second screw connector 221, which is easy to operate and can achieve stepless adjustment of the force, thereby being able to adjust the gap width with higher precision.

[0046] The second threaded connector 221 may also be a structure such as a bolt or a screw (it is necessary to ensure that the screw can rest against the first side wall 13 without damaging the first side wall 13). The first threaded connector 211 and the second threaded connector 221 may be the same structure or different structures. For example, the first threaded connector 211 is a screw and the second threaded connector 221 is a bolt, or the first threaded connector 211 and the second threaded connector 221 are both bolts but have different sizes (such as length, diameter, etc.).

[0047] The second threaded hole 13c can be formed by the first side wall 13, or by a structure such as a nut or a flange fixed to the first side wall 13. The first threaded hole 13b and the second threaded hole 13c can be formed in the same or different manner, and there is no limitation on this.

[0048] It should be noted that the structures of the tensioning member 21 and the push-opening member 22 are not limited to this. For example, the tensioning member 21 can also be other components or assemblies with a fastening function, and the push-opening member 22 can also be other components or assemblies that can provide a pushing force when the tensioning member 21 provides a tensioning force.

[0049] Taking the example that the tensioning member 21 includes the first screw 211 and the opening member 22 includes the second screw 221, in actual use, the second screw 221 can be screwed first so that the distance between its end face (the face for abutting against the other first side wall 13) and the surface of the first side wall 13 where the second threaded hole 13c is located is roughly the same as the desired gap width, and then the two sample analysis modules 1 can be moved so that the second screw 221 abuts against the surface of the other first side wall 13, and then the first screw 211 can be screwed into the first threaded hole 13b until it can no longer be screwed. Alternatively, the two sample analysis modules 1 can be moved first, and then the first screw 211 and the second screw 221 can be screwed (the second screw 221 can be screwed first, or the first screw 211 can be screwed first, without limitation).

[0050] Furthermore, after the assembly is completed, if the width of the gap between the two first side walls 13 is to be further reduced, the second screw 221 can be screwed first to form a certain gap between it and the other first side wall 13, and then the first screw 211 can be screwed in until it cannot be screwed in (at this time, the second screw 221 will again abut against the surface of the first side wall 13). If the width of the gap between the two first side walls 13 is to be further increased, the first screw 211 can be screwed out of the first threaded hole 13b for a distance (but not completely out of the first threaded hole 13b), and then the second screw 221 can be screwed in until it cannot be screwed in.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 In the embodiment where the tensioning member 21 includes a first screw member 211 and the opening member 22 includes a second screw member 221, the through hole 13a and the second threaded hole 13c can be set in the same one of the two adjacent first side walls 13, so that the heads of the first screw member 211 and the second screw member 221 will be on the same side, that is, in actual operation, the user can screw the first screw member 211 and the second screw member 221 on the same side without changing the position, which is convenient for operation.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The sample analysis system also includes a positioning member 3, which is used to limit the relative movement of the first side walls 13 of two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 along a second direction, where the second direction intersects with the first direction, and both the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to the height direction of the sample analysis module 1.

[0053] Thus, in the actual assembly process, the two sample analysis modules 1 can be aligned along the second direction with the help of the positioning member 3, and then the two first side walls 13 can be installed and fixed with the help of the above-mentioned installation structure 2, thereby simplifying the assembly operation.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The positioning member 3 may include a positioning pin 31, which is fixed to one of the first side walls 13, and the other first side wall 13 may be provided with a positioning hole 13d. The positioning pin 31 may be inserted into the positioning hole 13d along the first direction to limit the relative movement of the first side walls 13 of the two sample analysis modules 1 along the second direction.

[0055] In this way, the structure of the positioning member 3 can be simplified, and the assembly operation can be further simplified.

[0056] As an example, the aperture of the positioning hole 13d along the second direction can be substantially the same as the diameter of the positioning pin 31 along the second direction, so that after the positioning pin 31 is inserted into the positioning hole 13d along the first direction, the surfaces on the opposite sides of the positioning pin 31 along the second direction contact the surfaces on the opposite sides of the positioning hole 13d along the second direction, thereby limiting the relative movement of the first side walls 13 of the two sample analysis modules 1 along the second direction.

[0057] Obviously, the optional structure of the positioning member 3 is not limited thereto. For example, the positioning member 3 may also include two positioning baffles arranged at both ends of the first side wall 13 along the second direction. The positioning baffles may abut against the edges of the other first side wall 13 at both ends along the second direction, thereby limiting the relative movement of the two first side walls 13 along the second direction.

[0058] In some embodiments, the positioning member 3 may allow the first side walls 13 of two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 to move relative to each other along the height direction.

[0059] Thus, in the actual assembly process, when aligning the two sample analysis modules 1 along the second direction, it is not required that the two sample analysis modules 1 be aligned along the height direction at the same time. Instead, the two sample analysis modules 1 can be aligned along the second direction with the help of the positioning member 3, and then the heights of the two sample analysis modules 1 can be adjusted to align the two in the height direction, thereby simplifying the assembly operation.

[0060] For example, the positioning member 3 includes a positioning pin 31. Figure 2 The positioning hole 13d can extend in the height direction to form a strip hole, so that the positioning pin 31 can slide relative to the positioning hole 13d in the height direction, so that the positioning member 3 can allow the first side walls 13 of two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 to move relative to each other in the height direction.

[0061] As described above, in the cascade assembly mode, samples may need to be dispatched between two adjacent sample analysis modules 1. To this end, in some embodiments, each first side wall 13 may be provided with an opening (not shown in the figure), and the openings of the two first side walls 13 are connected to form a through port (not shown in the figure), and the through port is used for the sample rack to pass through so that the sample rack can be dispatched between two adjacent sample analysis modules 1.

[0062] In some embodiments, the sample analysis module 1 may include a rack 14, the scheduling device 11 may be disposed in the rack 14, and the above-mentioned opening is used for passing at least one scheduling mechanism 112. In this way, the scheduling mechanism 112 of the sample analysis module 1 can be used to achieve the scheduling of the sample rack between two adjacent sample analysis modules 1, thereby saving costs.

[0063] Obviously, the method of scheduling samples between two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 is not limited to this. For example, in the cascade assembly mode, an external track can be installed between two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 to achieve scheduling of sample racks between two adjacent sample analysis modules 1.

[0064] It can be understood that in some cases, the first side walls 13 of two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 in the sample analysis system can be separated from each other, so that the two sample analysis modules 1 can be used in a stand-alone mode. To this end, in some embodiments, the sample analysis module 1 may include a removable baffle (not shown in the figure). In the stand-alone mode, the baffle can be removably connected to the first side wall 13, so as to cover structures such as the opening on the first side wall 13, the first threaded hole 13b, the second threaded hole 13c, the positioning hole 13d, the positioning pin 31, etc., so that the aesthetics of the sample analysis module 1 when used in a stand-alone mode can be improved.

[0065] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the baffle plate can be mounted to the first side wall 13 by means of structures such as through holes 13a, first threaded holes 13b, and second threaded holes 13c, so that the number of openings on the first baffle plate can be further reduced.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 Each sample analysis module 1 includes a frame 14 and at least one first door body 15 connected to the frame 14, wherein at least one sample analysis module 1 also includes a second door body 16, the first door body 15 and the second door body 16 are arranged along a first direction, the second door body 16 is arranged close to the first side wall 13, and the installation position of the second door body 16 along the first direction on the frame 14 is adjustable to adjust the width of the gap between it and the adjacent first door body 15, as well as the width of the gap between it and the door body of another sample analysis module 1.

[0067] As described above, the sample analysis module 1 in the sample analysis system may be used in stand-alone mode. However, when each sample analysis module 1 is provided with a door body, the layout of the door body may not be able to take into account the aesthetics of both the stand-alone mode and the cascaded mode.

[0068] Take two sample analysis modules 1 as an example, assuming that one of the sample analysis modules 1 includes three door bodies, which are symmetrically distributed in the stand-alone mode, and the other sample analysis module 1 includes two door bodies, which are also symmetrically distributed in the stand-alone mode. When the above two sample analysis modules 1 are cascaded, the two door bodies on one side of the middle door body come from one sample analysis module 1, and the two door bodies on the other side come from another sample analysis module 1. Affected by the different layouts of the two sample analysis modules 1 themselves and / or the installation and disassembly of some structures during the cascade assembly process (such as the baffles mentioned above), the width of the gap between the middle door body and the door bodies on both sides may be different, resulting in the above five door bodies may not be symmetrically distributed, and the aesthetics are poor. On the contrary, assuming that the above five door bodies are symmetrically distributed in the cascade assembly mode, then in the stand-alone mode, the door body distribution of at least one of the sample analysis modules 1 may be asymmetrical.

[0069] In response to the above problems, the relevant technology usually chooses to equip the sample analysis module 1 with two sets of door bodies, which are respectively adapted to the stand-alone mode and the cascade splicing mode. However, this solution wastes materials, and when switching between the stand-alone mode and the cascade splicing mode, a lot of manpower costs are wasted to replace the door body.

[0070] In the present embodiment, a second door body 16 whose installation position is adjustable along a first direction on the frame 14 is provided on at least one sample analysis module 1, and the second door body 16 is provided close to the first side wall 13, that is, the second door body 16 is a door body that is in a relatively middle position after two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 are cascaded and assembled. Therefore, when switching between the stand-alone mode and the cascaded assembly mode, the installation position of the second door body 16 can be adjusted so that the multiple door bodies can be in a roughly symmetrical state, thereby taking into account the aesthetics of the above two modes.

[0071] Specifically, in some embodiments, the width of the gap between the second door body 16 and the adjacent first door body 15, and the width of the gap between the second door body 16 and the door body of another sample analysis module 1 (which may be the first door body 15 or the second door body 16) are the same. In this way, without adjusting the installation position of the first door body 15, the door bodies between two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 can be roughly symmetrically distributed.

[0072] As an example, see Figure 5A and Figure 5B, still taking the example described above where one sample analysis module 1 includes three gate bodies and another sample analysis module 1 includes two gate bodies, Figure 5A and Figure 5B The three door bodies of the sample analysis module 1 on the left side may include two first door bodies 15 and one second door body 16 , and the two door bodies of the sample analysis module 1 on the right side are both first door bodies 15 .

[0073] See also Figure 5A In stand-alone mode, the width of the gaps indicated by arrows a, b, c, d, and e in the figure are all 20 mm. Figure 5B In the cascade mode, the gaps indicated by arrows f and i (corresponding to Figure 5A The width of the gap indicated by arrows a and e in the figure is still 20 mm, except that the installation position of the second door body 16 is moved to the left, so that arrow g (corresponding to Figure 5A The widths of the gap indicated by the arrow b) and the gap indicated by the arrow h are both 16 mm. Therefore, in the cascade assembly mode, the door bodies of the two sample analysis modules 1 are still symmetrically distributed as a whole.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second door body 16 may have a first installation position and a second installation position. In the stand-alone mode, the second door body 16 may be installed at the first installation position. In the cascade assembly mode, the second door body 16 may be installed at the second installation position. In this way, the adjustment of the installation position can be more convenient.

[0075] Of course, in other embodiments, the second door body 16 may have more installation positions, or the installation position of the second door body 16 within a certain range may be steplessly adjusted. In this way, the sample analysis module 1 where the second door body 16 is located can have better aesthetics when it is cascaded with different sample analysis modules 1.

[0076] It should be noted that the number of second door bodies 16 of the same sample analysis module 1 may be multiple, such as the two door bodies close to the first side wall 13 may both be second door bodies 16. Only one of the two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 may include the second door body 16, or both of the two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 may include the second door body 16. Those skilled in the art may determine the number of first door bodies 15 and second door bodies 16 of each sample analysis module 1 according to the actual layout of each sample analysis module 1.

[0077] In some embodiments, the rack 14 may be provided with a strip hole extending in a first direction, and the sample analysis module 1 may include a connecting piece for mounting the second door body 16, and the connecting piece can move in the strip hole in the first direction so as to achieve adjustable mounting position of the second door body 16 in the first direction on the rack 14. The connecting piece here may be, for example, a bolt and a nut, and is not limited thereto.
