[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0031] The embodiment of the present application provides an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) electronic tag and system for sample management in a test laboratory. An RFID electronic tag is set on a sample in the laboratory to achieve sample management. In practical applications, the laboratory may be, for example, a medical laboratory, a chemical laboratory, etc., and the sample may be, for example, a medical specimen, a chemical reagent, etc.
[0032] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a system 100 for sample management in a test laboratory according to an embodiment of the present application. The system 100 is applied in a laboratory, where a plurality of samples are placed, and these samples may include samples that have not yet been tested, samples that are being tested, and samples that have been tested. The system 100 includes a plurality of electronic tags 10, a tag reader 20, a server 30, and a terminal device 40.
[0033] Each electronic tag 10 is fixed on a sample, for example, pasted on the sample. The electronic tag 10 is an active electronic tag. The electronic tag 10 can perform wireless communication, for example, by Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.
[0034] The tag reader 20 is installed in the laboratory. The tag reader 20 is connected to the multiple electronic tags 10 in communication, for example, by Bluetooth, WiFi, etc. The tag reader 20 is used to read and write the multiple electronic tags 10 to read the information in the electronic tags 10 or write information into the electronic tags 10.
[0035] The server 30 can be set in the laboratory or in other places outside the laboratory, and the server 30 is connected to the tag reader 20. In some embodiments, the tag reader 20 can communicate with the server 30 through wireless communication, for example, through a 4G network. In other embodiments, the tag reader 20 can access a wired network and be connected to the server 30 through a network cable, thereby achieving communication with the server 30.
[0036] The terminal device 40 is connected to the server 30 and multiple electronic tags 10. For example, the terminal device 40 can communicate with multiple electronic tags 10 wirelessly through Bluetooth, WiFi, etc., and communicate with the server 30 through a 4G network. The terminal device 40 is used to read and write multiple electronic tags 10, for example, read and write multiple electronic tags 10 through Bluetooth, WiFi, etc. The terminal device 40 can also read and write multiple electronic tags 10 through a tag reader 20, for example, through communication between the server 30, the tag reader 20, and the electronic tags 10, to achieve read and write operations on multiple electronic tags 10. In actual applications, the terminal device 40 can be a computer, a handheld device, or other devices. It can be understood that if the terminal device 40 is a computer, then the terminal device 40 can also be connected to the server 30 through a network cable to achieve communication with the server 30.
[0037] A management APP (Application) is installed on the terminal device 40. The terminal device 40 can implement read and write operations on multiple electronic tags 10 through the management APP to manage the testing of samples in the laboratory. For example, the name of the sample, the properties of the sample, the test content, the test time and other information can be bound to the electronic tag 10 on the sample through the management APP. When the sample starts to be tested, the test can be started on the management APP, and the electronic tag 10 on the sample can be controlled to start timing through communication between the server 30, the tag reader 20 and the electronic tag 10, and the electronic tag 10 can feedback the timing information to the server 30 in real time.
[0038] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2The first structural diagram of the RFID electronic tag 10 used for sample management in a test laboratory according to an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. The electronic tag 10 includes a main controller 11, a clock unit 12, and an indication unit 13. The clock unit 12 and the indication unit 13 are both electrically connected to the main controller 11.
[0039] The main controller 11 may be a low-power MCU. The main controller 11 is used to control each unit of the electronic tag 10 and perform resource scheduling.
[0040] The clock unit 12 is used for timing. For example, when the sample bound to the electronic tag 10 starts testing, the clock unit 12 can start timing, and the timing mode can be forward timing or countdown. In some embodiments, the main controller 11 supports an internal RTC real-time clock, and the RTC real-time clock can be used as the clock unit 12. The clock unit 12 can use a low-frequency precision crystal oscillator, and the tag reader 20 is regularly proofread with the time on the server 30 to ensure the time accuracy of the clock unit 12.
[0041] When the timing of the clock unit 12 reaches the preset time, the indication unit 13 sends a prompt message to prompt the user that the sample test is over. For example, the timing mode of the clock unit 12 is forward timing. If the test duration is 12 hours, then when the timing of the clock unit 12 reaches 12 hours, the main controller 11 can control the indication unit 13 to send a prompt message. For another example, the timing mode of the clock unit 12 is countdown. If the test duration is 12 hours, then the clock unit 12 can start countdown from 12 hours. When the countdown returns to zero, the main controller 11 can control the indication unit 13 to send a prompt message.
[0042] In some embodiments, the indicator unit 13 includes an LED light, such as a high-brightness LED light. The LED light is used to emit light prompt information in a flashing or long-light (continuously lit) manner. Therefore, the user can know that the test matter has been completed through the light prompt information of the LED light, and quickly determine which sample has been tested, so that the sample that has been tested can be quickly taken out.
[0043] In some embodiments, the indicating unit 13 further comprises a speaker. The speaker is used to issue a sound prompt message. The sound prompt message can also inform the user that the test matter has been completed and quickly determine the sample for which the test has been completed.
[0044] In practical applications, the indication unit 13 may include both an LED light and a speaker, and remind the user through both light prompt information and sound prompt information to achieve a better prompt effect. In this case, the indication unit 13 may be an acousto-optic unit.
[0045] It is understandable that when the sample test is completed, the indication unit 13 sends a prompt message, such as a light prompt message and a sound prompt message, so that the user can quickly and easily know that the test has been completed, and can quickly determine which sample has been tested based on the prompt message, so that the user can quickly take out the sample that has been tested. Therefore, the efficiency of taking out the sample after the test is completed can be improved, and the situation of taking the wrong sample can be reduced.
[0046] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a second structural schematic diagram of the RFID electronic tag 10 used for sample management in a test laboratory according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0047] The electronic tag 10 further includes a temperature sensor 14 , an acceleration sensor 15 , and a pressure sensor 16 . The temperature sensor 14 , the acceleration sensor 15 , and the pressure sensor 16 are all electrically connected to the main controller 11 .
[0048] The temperature sensor 14 is used to detect the temperature of the test environment. For example, when performing a high temperature test or a low temperature test, the temperature sensor 14 can be used to detect the test temperature.
[0049] The acceleration sensor 15 is used to detect the acceleration of the electronic tag 10. It can be understood that the electronic tag 10 is fixed to the sample, so the acceleration of the electronic tag 10 is the acceleration of the sample. For example, in the scenario of a drop test or vibration test of the sample, the acceleration can be detected by the acceleration sensor 15 to realize the detection of the drop and vibration.
[0050] The pressure sensor 16 is used to detect the air pressure of the test environment. For example, when performing an environmental pressure test, the air pressure can be detected by the pressure sensor 16.
[0051] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 3 , wherein the electronic tag 10 further includes a storage unit 17, a radio frequency unit 18 and a power supply unit 19. The storage unit 17, the radio frequency unit 18 and the power supply unit 19 are all electrically connected to the main controller 11.
[0052] The storage unit 17 is used to store the information of the sample and the test item information bound to the electronic tag 10. For example, the storage unit 17 can be used to store information such as the name of the sample, the sample number, the test duration, and the test result.
[0053] In some embodiments, the storage unit 17 is integrated into the main controller 11. For example, the main controller 11 may have its own ROM, and the ROM of the main controller 11 may be used as the storage unit 17. In practical applications, the storage unit 17 may store at least 100 test contents.
[0054] The radio frequency unit 18 is used for wireless communication, such as Bluetooth communication in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, WiFi communication, etc. For example, the electronic tag 10 can achieve wireless communication with the tag reader 20 and the terminal device 40 through the radio frequency unit 18 .
[0055] The power supply unit 19 is used to supply power to the electronic tag 10, for example, to supply power to each unit of the electronic tag 10 to ensure that each unit of the electronic tag 10 can work normally. In practical applications, the power supply unit 19 can use a rechargeable battery or support wireless charging.
[0056] In an example of practical application, an initialization table may be stored in the storage unit 17. An example of the initialization table is shown in Table 1:
[0057] Table 1 Initialization table
[0058]
[0059]
[0060] After the electronic tag 10 is fixed on the sample, the sample information and test content can be written into the initialization table of the storage unit 17 through the management APP of the terminal device 40. An example of the table after writing the information is shown in Table 2:
[0061] Table 2 Table after writing information
[0062]
[0063] After the sample starts testing, during the test, the "Time Timing" item in the table will change as the timing progresses. An example of a table during the test is shown in Table 3:
[0064] Table 3 Table during the test
[0065]
[0066] After the sample test is completed, the "time timing" item in the table will record the timing duration, and the indicating unit 13 will issue a prompt message, such as flashing prompts and issuing voice prompt messages. An example of a table after the test is completed is shown in Table 4:
[0067] Table 4 Table after the test
[0068]
[0069]
[0070] After the test is completed, the test record will be synchronously transmitted to the management APP of the terminal device 40. After the transmission is completed, the table is initialized to an empty table. An example of an empty table is shown in Table 1.
[0071] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, "electrical connection" can be achieved by direct connection between two electrical components to achieve electrical connection, or it can be achieved by indirect connection to achieve electrical connection. For example, A and B are electrically connected, which can be achieved by direct connection between A and B, or it can be achieved by indirect connection between A and B through one or more other electrical components.
[0072] The electronic tag and system provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail above. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present application.
