Taking blood samples as an example, it is often necessary to perform biochemical analysis and immunological analysis on the same blood sample. Therefore, a sample analysis system is provided in the related technology. The sample analysis system includes multiple cascaded sample analysis modules, so that different detection and analysis projects can be performed on samples in a pipeline manner.

[0003] In the sample analysis system provided by the related art, the sample rack is often dispatched between different sample analyzers by means of an external rail. This dispatching method is costly and complicated to assemble. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application are intended to provide a sample analysis system that can implement scheduling of sample racks between different sample analysis modules at a relatively low cost.

[0005] A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a sample analysis system, comprising: at least two sample analysis modules, two adjacent sample analysis modules are arranged side by side along a first direction; each of the sample analysis modules comprises a scheduling device and a detection device, the scheduling device comprises an injection assembly for a user to place a sample rack and a scheduling mechanism, the scheduling mechanisms of each of the sample analysis modules can work independently of each other, so that the scheduling mechanism of each of the sample analysis modules independently schedules the sample rack in the injection assembly of the sample analysis module to the detection device of the sample analysis module for detection; wherein, the sample analysis module has a first side wall on a side facing another adjacent sample analysis module, the first side walls of the two adjacent sample analysis modules face each other, the first side wall has an opening, the openings of the two first side walls are connected to form a through opening, the through opening is used for the scheduling mechanism to pass through, so that the scheduling mechanism of one of the sample analysis modules can enter the interior of the other sample analysis module through the through opening.

[0006] The sample analysis system of the embodiment of the present application can use the scheduling mechanism of the sample analysis module itself to achieve the scheduling of the sample rack between two adjacent sample analysis modules, without using external rails or other methods to achieve the scheduling of the sample rack, which is low in cost and simpler to assemble.

[0007] A second aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a sample analysis system, comprising: at least two sample analysis modules, two adjacent sample analysis modules are arranged side by side along a first direction; each of the sample analysis modules comprises a scheduling device and a detection device, the scheduling device comprises an injection assembly for a user to place a sample rack and a scheduling mechanism, the scheduling mechanisms of the respective sample analysis modules can be independent of each other, so that the scheduling mechanism of each sample analysis module independently schedules the sample rack in the injection assembly of the sample analysis module to the detection device of the sample analysis module for detection; wherein the sample analysis module has a first side wall on one side facing another adjacent sample analysis module, and the adjacent sample analysis module has a first side wall. The first side walls of the two sample analysis modules face each other, and the first side walls have openings, and the openings of the two first side walls are connected to form a through opening; the scheduling mechanism of each sample analysis module includes a first scheduling mechanism and a second scheduling mechanism that independently perform scheduling operations, and the first sub-scheduling mechanism of each sample analysis module is used to schedule the sample rack in the sampling assembly of the sample analysis module to the detection device of the sample analysis module, and is also used to schedule the sample rack to the second sub-scheduling mechanism of the sample analysis module, and the second scheduling mechanisms of two adjacent sample analysis modules are connected at the through opening to collaboratively realize the scheduling of the sample rack between the two sample analysis modules.

[0008] The sample analysis system of the embodiment of the present application can realize the scheduling of the sample rack between two adjacent sample analysis modules with the help of the scheduling mechanism of the sample analysis module itself, without the need to adopt external rails or the like to realize the scheduling of the sample rack. The cost is low and the assembly is relatively simple. In addition, the second scheduling mechanism of the two adjacent sample analysis modules only needs to be connected at the through opening, and does not need to pass through the through opening. Therefore, the through opening only needs to be set so that the sample rack can pass through, and does not need to be set so that the scheduling mechanism can pass through. In this way, the size of the opening on each sample analysis module can be reduced, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0023] 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.

[0024] 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.

[0025] 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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] 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.

[0028] The injection assembly is used for users to put the sample into the above-mentioned sample rack. As an example, the injection assembly can be a channel-shaped structure surrounded by multiple baffle structures, and its end facing the user can have an opening, and the user can put the sample into the sample rack through the opening.

[0029] 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.

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 This embodiment provides a sample analysis system, which 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.

[0034] 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.

[0035] 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.

[0036] The sample analysis module 1 has a first side wall 13 on the side facing another adjacent sample analysis module 1. The first side walls 13 of the two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 face each other. The first side wall 13 has an opening 13a. The openings 13a of the two first side walls 13 are connected to form a through opening 14. The through opening 14 is used for the scheduling mechanism 112 to pass through, so that the scheduling mechanism 112 of one of the sample analysis modules 1 can enter the interior of the other sample analysis module 1 through the through opening 14.

[0037] In this embodiment, the sample rack can be dispatched between two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 by means of the dispatching mechanism 112 of the sample analysis module 1 itself, without the need for external rails or the like, which is low-cost and simple to assemble.

[0038] It should be noted that, among two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 , only the dispatching mechanism 112 of one of the sample analysis modules 1 may be able to pass through the through opening 14 , or the dispatching mechanisms 112 of both sample analysis modules 1 may be able to pass through the through opening 14 .

[0039] Taking at least two sample analysis modules 1 including a first sample analysis module and a second sample analysis module as an example, the scheduling mechanism 112 of the first sample analysis module is used to schedule the sample rack in the first sample analysis module to the second sample analysis module through the through port 14 for caching, and the scheduling mechanism 112 of the second sample analysis module is used to schedule the cached sample rack to the detection device 12 of the second sample analysis module for detection; and / or, the scheduling mechanism 112 of the second sample analysis module is used to schedule the sample rack in the second sample analysis module to the first sample analysis module 1 through the through port 14 for caching, and the scheduling mechanism 112 of the first sample analysis module is used to schedule the cached sample rack to the detection device 12 of the first sample analysis module for detection.

[0040] In some embodiments, the scheduling mechanism 112 of at least one sample analysis module 1 may include a first sub-scheduling mechanism and a second sub-scheduling mechanism that independently perform scheduling operations. The first sub-scheduling mechanism of each sample analysis module 1 is used to schedule the sample rack in the injection component 111 of the sample analysis module 1 to the detection device 12 of the sample analysis module 1, and is also used to schedule the sample rack to the second sub-scheduling mechanism of the sample analysis module 1. The second sub-scheduling mechanism can enter the interior of another sample analysis module 1 through the opening 14.

[0041] In this way, by independently operating the first sub-scheduling mechanism and the second sub-scheduling mechanism (not shown in the figure), the scheduling of the sample rack in the sample analysis module 1 and the scheduling of the sample rack between two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 can be performed in parallel, thereby achieving higher scheduling efficiency.

[0042] As an example, the first sub-scheduling mechanism may include a scheduling vehicle, and the second sub-scheduling mechanism may include another scheduling vehicle, and the two scheduling vehicles may operate independently, so that the first sub-scheduling mechanism and the second sub-scheduling mechanism can independently perform scheduling operations. During the actual operation of the sample operation system, the user can put a sample rack into the injection assembly 111, and the first sub-scheduling mechanism can schedule the sample rack to the detection device 12 for detection and analysis, and then schedule the sample rack to the second sub-scheduling mechanism, and the second sub-scheduling mechanism schedules the sample rack to the inside of another sample analysis module 1 through the through hole.

[0043] In other embodiments, the dispatch mechanism 112 may also include only one dispatch vehicle, which can dispatch the sample rack of the sampling assembly 111 to the detection device 12 , and then dispatch the sample rack to the inside of another sample analysis module 1 through the opening 14 .

[0044] In some embodiments, at least one sample analysis module 1 includes a frame 15 and a surface shell plate, which is disposed on a side of the frame 15 facing another sample analysis module 1 and is formed as a first side wall 13 . The opening 13 a is disposed on the surface shell plate.

[0045] It can be understood that in some usage scenarios, two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 of the sample analysis system may be separated and used in a stand-alone mode. At this time, the first side walls 13 of the two sample analysis modules 1 will be exposed. In the present embodiment, the first side wall 13 is formed by a surface shell plate rather than being directly formed by the frame 15, thereby ensuring better aesthetics after the two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 are separated.

[0046] In this embodiment, only a part of the sample analysis modules 1 may include a surface shell plate (not shown in the figure), or each sample analysis module 1 may include a surface shell plate.

[0047] Furthermore, in some embodiments, at least one sample analysis module 1 may further include a door assembly (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the housing plate and is used to open or close the opening 13a. In this way, when the sample analysis system is shut down, or when the sample analysis module 1 is used in a stand-alone mode, the opening 13a can be closed by the door assembly, thereby improving the aesthetics and / or reducing dust from entering the interior of the sample analysis module 1.

[0048] As an example, the door assembly can be a plate-like structure, and is movably connected to the shell plate, which can move relative to the shell plate to open or close the opening 13a. Alternatively, the door assembly can be a deformable structure (such as a flexible door curtain structure or a rolling door structure), which can open or close the above opening 13a by deformation.

[0049] In some other embodiments, the sample analysis module 1 may include a rack 15, and a side of the rack 15 facing another adjacent sample analysis module 1 is formed as a first side wall 13. In this way, the structure of the sample analysis module 1 can be simplified.

[0050] In this embodiment, when two adjacent sample modules are separated from each other, a detachable baffle plate may be installed on the first side wall 13 , and the baffle plate may improve the aesthetics of the first side wall 13 and / or close the opening 13 a on the first side wall 13 .

[0051] Further, in some embodiments, see Figure 5The frame 15 may include a first column 151, a second column 152 and a support platform 153. The first column 151 and the second column 152 are arranged on one side of the frame 15 facing another adjacent sample analysis module 1, and the first column 151 and the second column 152 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, the second direction intersects with the first direction, and the first direction and the second direction are both perpendicular to the height direction of the sample analysis module 1; one end of the support platform 153 along the first direction is connected to the first column 151 and the second column 152, the scheduling device 11 is arranged on the support platform 153, and the first column 151, the second column 152 and the support platform 153 jointly enclose a vacant area 15a.

[0052] The frame 15 also includes a first mounting structure 154 and a second mounting structure 155. The first mounting structure 154 is arranged at the top of the first column 151 and extends toward the second column 152. The second mounting structure 155 is arranged at the top of the second column 152 and extends toward the first column 151. The first mounting structure 154 and the second mounting structure 155 are spaced apart along the second direction and form a gap 15b. The gap 15b is connected to the vacant area 15a to form an opening 13a.

[0053] In this way, the first mounting structure 154 and the second mounting structure 155 can provide support for the baffle when it is needed to be installed, making the installation of the baffle more stable. In addition, a gap 15b is formed between the first mounting structure 154 and the second mounting structure 155, so that the size of the opening 13a in the height direction can be increased, so that the dispatching mechanism 112 can pass smoothly.

[0054] Embodiment 2

[0055] Still available Figure 1-Figure 5 The sample analysis system of this embodiment also includes at least two sample analysis modules 1, 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 a user to put into a sample rack and a scheduling mechanism 112, and 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 independently schedules 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.

[0056] The sample analysis module 1 has a first side wall 13 on one side facing another adjacent sample analysis module 1 . The first side walls 13 of the two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 face each other. The first side wall 13 has an opening 13 a . The openings 13 a of the two first side walls 13 are connected to form a through opening 14 .

[0057] The difference from the first embodiment is that, in this embodiment, the scheduling mechanism 112 of each sample analysis module 1 includes a first sub-scheduling mechanism and a second sub-scheduling mechanism that independently perform scheduling operations. The first sub-scheduling mechanism of each sample analysis module 1 is used to schedule the sample rack in the sampling assembly 111 of the sample analysis module 1 to the detection device 12 of the sample analysis module 1, and is also used to schedule the sample rack to the second sub-scheduling mechanism of the sample analysis module 1. The second scheduling mechanisms 112 of two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 are connected at the through port 14 to collaboratively realize the scheduling of the sample rack between the two sample analysis modules 1.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second dispatching mechanisms 112 of two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 only need to be connected at the through opening 14, and do not need to pass through the through opening 14. Therefore, the through opening 14 only needs to be set to allow the sample rack to pass through, and does not need to be set to allow the dispatching mechanism 112 to pass through. This can reduce the size of the opening 13a on each sample analysis module and improve the aesthetics.

[0059] Here, the second dispatching mechanisms 112 of two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 are connected at the through port 14, which means that the second dispatching mechanisms 112 of two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 are arranged near the through port 14, and the two second dispatching mechanisms 112 may not be connected, but there may be a certain gap between them, or the two second dispatching mechanisms 112 may be connected with the aid of structures such as baffles and slide rails, as long as the sample rack can be transferred from one second dispatching mechanism 112 to another second dispatching mechanism 112 through the through port 14.

[0060] As an example, the second scheduling mechanism 112 of the present embodiment may include a track on which the sample rack can slide, and the above-mentioned tracks of the second scheduling mechanisms 112 of two adjacent sample analysis modules 1 may both extend to the above-mentioned through opening 14, but neither of them passes through the above-mentioned through opening 14. There is a certain gap between the two, but the gap will not cause the sample rack to fall off. The sample rack can slide from the track of one second scheduling mechanism 112 to the track of another second scheduling mechanism 112 through the through opening 14.

[0061] For other technical details of the sample analysis system of this embodiment, reference may be made to the relevant description of the first embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0062] Embodiment 3

[0063] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 This embodiment provides a sample analyzer, which can be used independently or in cascade with other sample analyzers, such as being used as sample analysis module 1 in the sample analysis system provided in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. As an example, the sample analyzer can be an immunoassay analyzer or a biochemical analyzer.

[0064] The sample analyzer includes a frame 15, a scheduling device 11, and a detection device 12. The scheduling device 11 is arranged on the frame 15. The scheduling device 11 includes a sample injection component 111 for a user to put into the sample rack and a scheduling mechanism 112. The scheduling mechanism 112 is used to schedule the sample rack in the sample injection component 111 to the detection device 12 for detection.

[0065] The sample analyzer also includes a baffle, and the frame 15 includes a first side wall 13. The scheduling device 11 is arranged on a side of the frame 15 close to the first side wall 13. The first side wall 13 has an opening 13a. The baffle is detachably connected to the frame 15 to close the opening 13a. When the baffle is removed, the opening 13a is used for the scheduling mechanism 112 to pass through, so that the scheduling mechanism 112 can reach the outside of the sample analyzer through the opening 13a.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the sample analyzer is used in cascade with other sample analyzers, such as when used as a sample analysis module 1 in a sample analysis system, the baffle can be removed so that the dispatch mechanism 112 can reach the outside of the sample analyzer through the opening 13a, thereby enabling the dispatch of sample racks between different sample analyzers without the aid of an external rail, with low cost and easy assembly. When the sample analyzer is used alone, the opening 13a can be closed by the baffle to improve the aesthetics.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The frame 15 may include a first column 151, a second column 152 and a support platform 153. The first column 151 and the second column 152 are arranged on one side of the frame 15 facing another adjacent sample analysis module 1, and the first column 151 and the second column 152 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, the second direction intersects with the first direction, and the first direction and the second direction are both perpendicular to the height direction of the sample analysis module 1; one end of the support platform 153 along the first direction is connected to the first column 151 and the second column 152, the scheduling device 11 is arranged on the support platform 153, and the first column 151, the second column 152 and the support platform 153 jointly enclose a vacant area 15a.

[0068] The frame 15 also includes a first mounting structure 154 and a second mounting structure 155. The first mounting structure 154 is arranged at the top of the first column 151 and extends toward the second column 152. The second mounting structure 155 is arranged at the top of the second column 152 and extends toward the first column 151. The first mounting structure 154 and the second mounting structure 155 are spaced apart along the second direction and form a gap 15b. The gap 15b is connected to the vacant area 15a to form an opening 13a.

[0069] In this way, the first mounting structure 154 and the second mounting structure 155 can provide support for the baffle when it is needed to be installed, making the installation of the baffle more stable. In addition, a gap 15b is formed between the first mounting structure 154 and the second mounting structure 155, so that the size of the opening 13a in the height direction can be increased, so that the dispatching mechanism 112 can pass smoothly.

[0070] For other technical details of the sample analyzer (such as the specific configuration of the scheduling mechanism 112, etc.), please refer to the above description of the sample analysis module 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] Embodiment 4

[0072] This embodiment provides a sample analyzer, which can be used independently or in cascade with other sample analyzers, such as being used as sample analysis module 1 in the sample analysis system provided in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. As an example, the sample analyzer can be an immunoassay analyzer or a biochemical analyzer.

[0073] The sample analyzer includes a frame 15, a scheduling device 11, and a detection device 12. The scheduling device 11 is arranged on the frame 15. The scheduling device 11 includes a sample injection component 111 for a user to put into the sample rack and a scheduling mechanism 112. The scheduling mechanism 112 is used to schedule the sample rack in the sample injection component 111 to the detection device 12 for detection.

[0074] The difference from the third embodiment is that the sample analyzer of this embodiment includes a cover plate and a door assembly (not shown in the figure), the cover plate is arranged on one side of the frame 15, the dispatching device 11 is arranged on the side of the frame 15 close to the cover plate, the cover plate has a first side wall 13, and the first side wall 13 has an opening 13a. The door assembly is connected to the cover plate and is used to open or close the opening 13a. When the door assembly is opened, the opening 13a is used for the dispatching mechanism 112 to pass through, so that the dispatching mechanism 112 can reach the outside of the sample analyzer through the opening 13a.

[0075] In this embodiment, when the sample analyzer is used in cascade with other sample analyzers, such as when used as a sample analysis module 1 in a sample analysis system, the door assembly can open the opening 13a, so that the scheduling mechanism 112 can reach the outside of the sample analyzer through the opening 13a, thereby enabling the scheduling of sample racks between different sample analyzers without the help of an external rail, with low cost and easy assembly. When the sample analyzer is used alone and / or the sample analyzer is turned off, the door assembly can close the opening 13a to improve the aesthetics and / or prevent dust from entering.

[0076] As an example, the door assembly can be a plate-like structure, and is movably connected to the shell plate, which can move relative to the shell plate to open or close the opening 13a. Alternatively, the door assembly can be a deformable structure (such as a flexible door curtain structure or a rolling door structure), which can open or close the above opening 13a by deformation.

[0077] For other technical details of the sample analyzer (such as the specific configuration of the scheduling mechanism 112, etc.), please refer to the above description of the sample analysis module 1, which will not be repeated here.
