[0055] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0056] In the description of the utility model, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the utility model. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The utility model proposes a sample processing module, including a sample processing component 100, a rack 200 and a first positioning component 300. The sample processing component 100 is used to process samples, such as transporting, centrifuging, analyzing, and pouring a sample container carrying samples. Exemplarily, the sample processing component 100 is configured as a pouring type loading component to receive scattered and disordered test tubes containing samples, and can orderly organize and output the test tubes. The robot in the sample processing component 100 clamps the organized test tubes to a multi-hole sample rack, or a single-hole / double-hole sample seat to complete the loading.

[0058] The rack 200 has a receiving cavity inside, and the receiving cavity is for the sample processing assembly 100 to be placed. Accommodating the sample processing assembly 100 inside the rack 200 can save the space occupied by the sample processing assembly 100, meet the requirements of compactness of the equipment layout in various usage scenarios, and make the sample processing module as a whole more compact and neat. However, the space inside the rack 200 is small, and the sample processing assembly 100 cannot be operated conveniently during the early installation and later maintenance process due to the limitation of the internal space of the rack 200.

[0059] Based on this, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first positioning assembly 300 is adjustably mounted on the rack 200, and the first positioning assembly 300 has a first unlocked state and a first locked state. When the first positioning assembly 300 is in the first locked state, the first positioning assembly 300 is locked to the rack 200, and the position of the first positioning assembly 300 is fixed. The first positioning assembly 300 can position the sample processing assembly 100 moved to the first positioning position along the first direction, so that the sample processing assembly 100 is positioned at the first positioning position; thereby, when the sample processing assembly 100 is installed inside the rack 200, it can be positioned by the first positioning assembly 300 located inside the rack 200, and the positioning can indicate that the sample processing assembly 100 has been moved to the preset first positioning position, thereby completing the positioning of the sample processing assembly 100 in a small space, making the installation and subsequent maintenance of the sample processing assembly 100 more convenient. In addition, when the first positioning assembly 300 is in the first unlocked state, the first positioning assembly 300 can move relative to the rack 200 along the first direction and the second direction opposite to the first direction to change the position of the first positioning assembly 300 in the first direction, thereby adjusting the first positioning position for positioning the sample processing assembly 100 along the first direction; thereby, if the sample processing requires position adjustment during later maintenance, the specific position of the first positioning assembly 300 can be set in advance according to the first positioning position preset in the rack 200 of the sample processing assembly 100 by moving the first positioning assembly 300 along the first direction or the second direction, so that when the sample processing assembly 100 is installed inside the rack 200, it can be positioned to the preset first positioning position by the first positioning assembly 300, thereby meeting the position adjustment requirements for later maintenance of the sample processing assembly 100, and making the positioning and later maintenance of the sample processing assembly 100 in the rack 200 more convenient.

[0060] in Figure 3 Figure (a) shows a state where the sample processing component 100 has not moved to the first positioning position and has not been positioned by the first positioning component 300. Figure 3 FIG. 2( b ) shows a state where the sample processing component 100 has been moved to the first positioning position and is positioned along the first direction by the first positioning component 300 .

[0061] In one embodiment, one of the first positioning component 300 and the sample processing component 100 is provided with a plurality of limit pins, and the other is provided with a plurality of limit surfaces. When the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position, the limit pins abut against the limit surfaces, and different limit pins abut against different positions of the limit surfaces along the first direction, or different limit pins abut against different limit surfaces along the first direction, thereby completing the positioning of the sample processing component 100 by the first positioning component 300 along the first direction.

[0062] Or, in another embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the first positioning component 300 includes a first positioning surface 310, and the sample processing component 100 includes a second positioning surface 110. When the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position, the first positioning surface 310 abuts against the second positioning surface 110 along the first direction, completing the positioning of the sample processing component 100 by the first positioning component 300 along the first direction. In addition, the first positioning surface 310 and the second positioning surface 110 have sufficient contact area and are stably abutted, and the first positioning component 300 can provide stable positioning for the sample processing component 100.

[0063] like Figure 1 The rack 200 has an opening 120 connected to the accommodating cavity on one side along the first direction, and the opening 120 is used for the sample processing component 100 to enter and exit the rack 200. The first positioning surface 310 is located at one end of the first positioning component 300 facing the opening 120. The operator can observe from the opening 120 whether the first positioning surface 310 and the second positioning surface 110 are in contact with each other, so that the positioning of the sample processing component 100 by the first positioning component 300 is visualized, and the installation and maintenance of the sample processing component 100 are more convenient, so as to avoid the positioning accuracy being affected by invisible impurities between the positioning surfaces of the sample processing component 100 and the first positioning component 300.

[0064] The first positioning component 300 is also provided with a guide structure for guiding the movement of the sample processing component 100. In one embodiment, one of the first positioning component 300 and the sample processing component 100 is provided with a guide groove extending along a first direction, and the other is provided with a guide rail. The guide rail is slidably connected to the guide groove along the first direction and can be inserted into or withdrawn from the guide groove. When the sample processing component 100 moves along the first direction or the second direction, the guide rail moves in the guide groove to guide the movement of the sample processing component 100.

[0065] In another embodiment, if Figure 3The first positioning assembly 300 includes a guide surface 320, which extends along the first direction. The sample processing assembly 100 has a guide wall 130, which can abut against the guide surface 320 to guide the sample processing assembly 100 to move along the first direction. The first positioning assembly 300 has the function of positioning the sample processing assembly 100 along the first direction and guiding the movement of the sample processing assembly 100 along the first direction. The sample processing assembly 100 can move to the first positioning position along the first direction under the guidance of the guide surface 320, and is positioned by the first positioning surface 310 when moving to the first positioning position. The sample processing assembly 100 is constrained by the first positioning assembly 300 in multiple directions during its movement in the rack 200, and can be quickly positioned at the first positioning position.

[0066] It can be understood that the first direction is set as the direction in which the sample processing component 100 enters or exits the rack 200. Under the guidance and positioning action of the first positioning component 300 on the sample processing component 100, the sample processing component 100 can enter and exit the rack 200 by moving only along the first direction or the second direction, and is positioned by the first positioning component 300 when moving to the first positioning position. The positioning and installation of the sample processing component 100 are relatively convenient; and the sample processing component 100 can be positioned at different positions in the direction of entering and exiting the rack 200, which can meet the position coordination requirements between the sample processing component 100 and other components in the sample processing module.

[0067] It is defined that the first direction is opposite to the receiving chamber relative to the opening 120, and the second direction is toward the receiving chamber relative to the opening 120, that is, the sample processing component 100 exits the receiving chamber through the opening 120 along the first direction, and enters the receiving chamber through the opening 120 along the second direction. Specifically, in the case where the sample processing component 100 is installed in the rack 200, after the sample processing component 100 enters the receiving chamber through the opening 120 along the second direction, the guide wall 130 abuts against the guide surface 320, and the sample processing component 100 continues to move along the second direction under the guidance of the guide surface 320 until the first positioning surface 310 abuts against the second positioning surface 110 when the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position. The sample processing component 100 is positioned by the first positioning surface 310 along the first direction, and the sample processing component 100 cannot continue to move along the second direction and is positioned at the first positioning position. In the process of entering the rack 200, the sample processing component 100 only needs to move along the second direction through the opening 120 to be positioned at the first positioning position, and the positioning process is simple and convenient.

[0068] Reference Figures 4 to 6The sample processing component 100 includes a first positioning substrate 140, which is disposed at one end of the sample processing component 100 facing the first direction and protrudingly disposed at the side of the sample processing component 100. The side of the first positioning substrate 140 facing the second direction forms a second positioning surface 110. The first positioning component 300 includes a second positioning substrate 330, which is disposed at the front end of the first positioning component 300. The side of the second positioning substrate 330 facing the first direction forms a first positioning surface 310, and the first positioning surface 310 and the second positioning surface 110 are disposed opposite to each other. When the sample processing component 100 moves along the second direction, the first positioning surface 310 and the second positioning surface 110 gradually approach each other. When the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position, the first positioning surface 310 and the second positioning surface 110 abut against each other. In addition, the second positioning substrate 330 can be close to the opening 120 to a large extent, so that the operator can observe the abutment between the first positioning surface 310 and the second positioning surface 110.

[0069] Reference Figures 3 to 5 The first positioning assembly 300 includes a first guide member 340 and a second guide member 350 that are spaced apart. A guide substrate 360 ​​is provided on the opposite sides of the first guide member 340 and the second guide member 350. A guide surface 320 is provided on the opposite surfaces of the guide substrate 360. The first guide member 340 and the second guide member 350 define a moving channel 370 for the sample processing assembly 100 to move along the first direction or the second direction. Guide walls 130 are provided on the opposite sides of the sample processing assembly 100. When the sample processing assembly 100 moves along the first direction or the second direction in the moving channel 370, the guide wall 130 on each side abuts against the corresponding guide surface 320. Both sides of the sample processing assembly 100 are guided by the first positioning assembly 300, so that the first positioning assembly 300 can accurately guide the sample processing assembly 100.

[0070] It can be understood that the first guide member 340 and the second guide member 350 both include a guide substrate 360 ​​and a second positioning substrate 330. The second positioning substrate 330 is connected to one end of the guide substrate 360 ​​along the first direction. The sample processing component 100 is provided with a first positioning substrate 140 protruding outward on both opposite sides. Both sides of the sample processing component 100 can be positioned by the first positioning surface 310 on the second positioning substrate 330.

[0071] The first guide member 340 and the second guide member 350 are located on opposite sides of the sample processing assembly 100 in the third direction, and the first direction intersects with the third direction, so that the sample processing assembly 100 is guided by the guide surface 320 in the rack 200 and moves along the first direction or the second direction. In the present invention, the intersection of two directions means that the two directions are not parallel and form a certain angle with each other, so that the two directions intersect in three-dimensional space and the projections in the same plane intersect, or the two directions intersect in two-dimensional space.

[0072] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rack 200 includes a first bottom plate 210, which is used to support the sample processing assembly 100. The sample processing assembly 100 includes a second bottom plate 150, which is located at the bottom of the sample processing assembly 100. The second bottom plate 150 can be placed on the first bottom plate 210. The first bottom plate 210 and the second bottom plate 150 have a large contact surface, and the first bottom plate 210 can provide stable support for the sample processing assembly 100. The first positioning assembly 300 is configured to be adjustably connected to the first bottom plate 210 and is located above the first bottom plate 210. The first positioning assembly 300 can guide and position the sample processing assembly 100 located on the first bottom plate 210. It can be understood that the top surface of the first bottom plate 210 and the bottom surface of the second bottom plate 150 are smooth to reduce the friction when the sample processing assembly 100 moves along the first bottom plate 210.

[0073] The guide wall 130 is configured as a side wall of the second bottom plate 150 in the third direction. When the sample processing component 100 moves in the moving channel 370, the bottom of the second bottom plate 150 contacts the first bottom plate 210 and is supported by the first bottom plate 210. At the same time, the guide wall 130 on the side of the second bottom plate 150 abuts against the guide surface 320 and is guided by the guide surface 320, so that the sample processing component 100 moves along the first direction or the second direction. In this case, different areas of the side wall of the second bottom plate 150 in the third direction can abut against the guide surface 320, the contact area between the guide wall 130 and the guide surface 320 is large, and the guiding accuracy of the guide surface 320 for the sample processing component 100 is high. Alternatively, the sample processing component 100 is provided with an outwardly protruding outer wall on the side in the third direction, and the outer wall is located above the second bottom plate 150. When the sample processing component 100 is located in the moving channel 370, the outer wall abuts against the guide surface 320, and the guide surface 320 guides the movement of the sample processing component 100; the guide wall 130 extends upward and / or extends along the first direction so that the guide wall 130 and the guide surface 320 have a larger contact area, and the guide surface 320 can provide stable guidance for the sample processing component 100.

[0074] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4The guide surface 320 is inclined in the direction from bottom to top facing away from the moving channel 370, and the distance between the guide surface 320 of the first guide member 340 and the guide surface 320 of the second guide member 350 in the third direction gradually increases from bottom to top. The sample processing component 100 can be conveniently placed downward from the top of the first bottom plate 210 into the moving channel 370 and contact the first bottom plate 210. When the sample processing component 100 is placed from top to bottom on the first bottom plate 210, the guide walls 130 on both sides of the sample processing component 100 are respectively guided by the two guide surfaces 320 and gradually align with the moving channel 370 until the guide walls 130 on both sides are respectively in contact with the guide surfaces 320 of the first guide member 340 and the guide surfaces 320 of the second guide member 350, thereby guiding the movement of the sample processing component 100 along the first direction or the second direction.

[0075] It should be noted that the "A is adjustably connected to B" involved in the present invention means that the A component can be locked to the B component and keep the position fixed, and after the A component is unlocked from the B component, it can move relative to the B component and change its position. Taking the first positioning component 300 being adjustably connected to the rack 200 as an example, by changing the connection relationship between the first positioning component 300 as a whole or in part and the rack 200, the first positioning component 300 and the rack 200 are unlocked, so that the position of the first positioning component 300 on the rack 200 can be adjusted to meet the needs of positioning the sample processing component 100 at different positions in the rack 200; when the first positioning component 300 is locked to the rack 200, the position of the first positioning component 300 is fixed, which can provide stable positioning for the sample processing component 100. Adjustable connection methods are not limited to threaded connection, snap-on connection, plug-in connection, magnetic connection, etc.

[0076] In one embodiment, the first positioning assembly 300 is connected to the frame 200 by means of a snap lock. Generally, the snap lock includes a fixing buckle, a locking ring and a handle. One of the first positioning assembly 300 and the frame 200 is provided with a fixing buckle, and the other is provided with a locking ring and a handle. When the locking ring is buckled into the fixing buckle, the snap lock is in a locked state. At this time, the first positioning assembly 300 is in a first locked state and locked to the frame 200, and can provide stable positioning for the sample processing assembly 100. When the handle is moved, the locking ring can be withdrawn from the fixing buckle, and the lock of the first positioning assembly 300 is released. At this time, the first positioning assembly 300 is in a first unlocked state and can move relative to the frame 200 in the first direction or the second direction to adjust the position of the first positioning assembly 300 in the first direction. The guidance of the movement of the first positioning component 300 can be achieved by setting a guiding structure between the first positioning component 300 and the frame 200. For example, one of the first positioning component 300 and the frame 200 is provided with a guide groove, and the other is provided with a guide rail. The guide rail is slidably connected in the guide groove along a first direction. The guide rail and the guide groove cooperate to form a guiding structure, so that the first positioning component 300 moves along the first direction or the second direction when it is in the first unlocked state.

[0077] In another embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 6 The first positioning assembly 300 includes an adjustment plate 380 and a first locking piece 390. One of the first base plate 210 and the adjustment plate 380 is provided with an adjustment hole 381 extending along the first direction, and the other is provided with a mounting hole. The first locking piece 390 is penetrated through the adjustment hole 381 and the mounting hole. When the first positioning assembly 300 is in the first unlocked state, the first locking piece 390 can move in the adjustment hole 381 along the first direction or the second direction to adjust the position of the first positioning assembly 300 in the first direction. When the first positioning assembly 300 is in the first locked state, the first positioning assembly 300 is locked to the first base plate 210 by the first locking piece 390, and provides stable positioning for the sample processing assembly 100. It is understandable that since the adjustment hole 381 extends along the first direction, when the first locking member 390 moves in the adjustment hole 381, it is guided by the adjustment hole 381 and moves along the first direction or the second direction. The first positioning assembly 300 and the frame 200 do not need to additionally set up other guiding structures to position the movement of the first positioning assembly 300, thereby simplifying the structure of the first positioning assembly 300.

[0078] The first locking member 390 is configured as a threaded fastener such as a screw or a bolt. The first positioning assembly 300 can be locked to the rack 200 or unlocked by screwing the first locking member 390, and the state switching of the first positioning assembly 300 is more convenient. It should be noted that, taking the sample processing assembly 100 configured as a pouring type sample loading assembly as an example, the first positioning assembly 300 positions the sample processing assembly 100 at the first positioning position by adjusting the movement along the first direction or the second direction, which can adapt to the adjustment of the movement space of the manipulator in the pouring type sample loading assembly along the first direction or the second direction, so as to make full use of the installation space inside the rack 200.

[0079] Further, the guide base plate 360 ​​is connected to one side of the adjustment plate 380 in the third direction, the second positioning base plate 330 is connected to one end of the adjustment plate 380 facing the first direction, and the adjustment plate 380, the guide base plate 360 ​​and the second positioning base plate 330 are detachably connected, or connected as an integral structure. A plurality of adjustment holes 381 and mounting holes are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and a first locking member 390 can be inserted into each adjustment hole 381 and mounting hole. The first positioning assembly 300 can be locked to the frame 200 at multiple positions, and the position of the first positioning assembly 300 in the frame 200 is more stable.

[0080] It is understandable that the first positioning position can be the final position of the sample processing component 100 in the rack 200, or it can be an intermediate position of the sample processing component 100 during the process of moving to the final position; for example, the first positioning position is set as the final position, and when the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position, it is positioned by the first positioning component 300 and locked on the base frame, and then stabilized in the first positioning position; or, the first positioning position is an intermediate position, and when the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position, it is limited by the first positioning component 300 along the first direction, and continues to move to the final position under the positioning action of the first positioning component 300, and is finally locked to the rack 200.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first positioning position is set as the final position of the sample processing component 100 on the moving path in the rack 200. After the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position, it is locked in the rack 200 to be firmly in the first positioning position. Further, the sample processing component 100 located at the first positioning position is locked to the first positioning component 300, so as to be locked to the rack 200 through the first positioning component 300, so that the sample processing component 100 can be positioned and locked in the first positioning position in the rack 200 through the first positioning component 300.

[0082] Specifically, when the first positioning assembly 300 is in the first locking state, the position of the first positioning assembly 300 in the rack 200 is fixed, and the first positioning assembly 300 can position the sample processing assembly 100 moved to the first positioning position in the first direction, and lock the sample processing assembly 100, so that the sample processing assembly 100 is indirectly fixed in the rack 200. Exemplarily, when the first positioning assembly 300 is in the first locking state, the first positioning assembly 300 is locked to the first bottom plate 210 through the first locking member 390, and at this time, the first positioning assembly 300 is fixed to the rack 200, and at the same time, the first positioning assembly 300 is connected and locked with the sample processing assembly 100, so that the sample processing assembly 100 is fixed in the rack 200.

[0083] The connection and locking between the first positioning component 300 and the sample processing component 100 can be achieved by magnetic fixation, threaded fastening, snap lock locking, etc. In one embodiment, the first positioning surface 310 and the second positioning surface 110 are abutted to achieve the locking of the first positioning component 300 and the sample processing component 100. For example, the first positioning substrate 140 and the second positioning substrate 330 can be magnetically attracted to each other. When the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position, the first positioning surface 310 abuts against the second positioning surface 110, and the first positioning substrate 140 and the second positioning substrate 330 are magnetically connected. At this time, the sample processing component 100 is locked to the first positioning component 300. In another embodiment, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The first positioning component 300 includes a second locking piece 301, a first locking hole 311 is provided at the first positioning surface 310, and the first locking hole 311 penetrates the second positioning substrate 330 along the first direction, and a second locking hole 111 is provided at the second positioning surface 110, and the second locking hole 111 penetrates the first positioning substrate 140. When the sample processing component 100 is located at the first positioning position, the first positioning surface 310 and the second positioning surface 110 abut against each other along the first direction, and the second locking piece 301 is penetrated through the first locking hole 311 and the second locking hole 111 and locks the sample processing component 100 and the first positioning component 300. The second locking piece 301 can be set as a threaded fastener to make the connection between the first positioning component 300 and the sample processing component 100 more stable.

[0084] It is understandable that the first positioning assembly 300 and the sample processing assembly 100 are locked by locking the first positioning substrate 140 and the second positioning substrate 330, without the need to provide additional matching locking structures in the first positioning assembly 300 and the sample processing assembly 100, thereby simplifying the structure of the first positioning assembly 300.

[0085] like Figure 8A flange plate 160 is connected to the top of the first positioning substrate 140. The flange plate 160 is provided with an observation hole 161 which passes through from top to bottom. The flange plate 160 is located on the side of the first positioning substrate 140 facing the first direction. The operator can observe the connection status of the second locking member 301 and the first positioning substrate 140 and the second positioning substrate 330 through the observation hole 161 to determine whether the second locking member 301 has completed the locking of the first positioning substrate 140 and the second positioning substrate 330.

[0086] In the present invention, the sample processing assembly 100 located at the first positioning position can also be directly locked on the rack 200 to strengthen the connection strength between the sample processing assembly 100 and the rack 200. Exemplarily, the first bottom plate 210 and the second bottom plate 150 are locked and unlocked by a snap lock structure, that is, when the sample processing module is located at the first positioning position, the locking ring of the snap lock is buckled in the fixing buckle, and the second bottom plate 150 is locked to the first bottom plate 210, and the sample processing module is locked to the rack 200; when the sample processing module needs to be maintained or debugged, the handle of the snap lock is pulled, the locking ring is disengaged from the fixing buckle, and the lock between the second bottom plate 150 and the first bottom plate 210 is released, and the sample processing module can be moved in the rack 200.

[0087] In another embodiment, if Fig. 9 The sample processing module further includes a third locking member 400. When the sample processing assembly 100 is located at the first positioning position, the third locking member 400 locks the first bottom plate 210 and the second bottom plate 150, and locks the sample processing assembly 100 to the rack 200. The third locking member 400 is released from locking the first bottom plate 210 and the second bottom plate 150, and the sample processing assembly 100 can be moved in the rack 200. The third locking member 400 can be set as a threaded fastener. The first bottom plate 210 and the second bottom plate 150 are both provided with holes for installing the third locking member 400. The sample processing assembly 100 can be locked to the rack 200 by locking the third locking member 400.

[0088] In this embodiment, the sample processing assembly 100 is locked to the rack 200 by directly using the mutual locking of the first bottom plate 210 and the second bottom plate 150, without the need to set up other additional locking structures. In addition, the third locking member 400 can be set on the side of the sample processing module facing the opening 120, so that after the sample processing module moves to the first positioning position, the operator can directly lock the third locking member 400 from the opening 120, thereby locking the sample processing assembly 100 to the rack 200, and the locking of the sample processing assembly 100 is more convenient.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2The sample processing module further includes a second positioning assembly 500, which is fixed to the rack 200 and is used to position the sample processing assembly 100 in a third direction and a fourth direction opposite to the third direction, and the third direction and the fourth direction both intersect with the first direction. The second positioning assembly 500 can position the sample processing assembly 100 during the movement of the sample processing assembly 100 along the first direction or the second direction or when the sample processing assembly 100 moves to the first positioning position, so that when the sample processing assembly 100 moves into the rack 200, it is guided by the guide surface 320 of the first positioning assembly 300 and moves along the second direction, and can also be accurately moved to the first positioning position by the limitation of the second positioning assembly 500 in the third direction and the fourth direction. The sample processing assembly 100 located at the first positioning position can be simultaneously positioned by the first positioning assembly 300 in the first direction and the second positioning assembly 500 in the third direction and the fourth direction, and is stable at the first positioning position. The sample processing assembly 100 has a high positioning accuracy in the rack 200 and can accurately cooperate with other components in the sample processing module.

[0090] Furthermore, the first positioning assembly 300 and the second positioning assembly 500 respectively position the sample processing assembly 100 on two opposite sides of the sample processing assembly 100. The positioning strength of the sample processing assembly 100 is high, which can reduce the shaking and position displacement of the sample processing assembly 100 during the transportation and transfer of the sample processing module. Specifically, the second positioning assembly 500 is arranged on the side of the sample processing assembly 100 that is away from the opening 120. When the sample processing assembly 100 moves to the first positioning position, one side of the sample processing assembly 100 is positioned by the second positioning assembly 500 along the third direction and the fourth direction, and the other side is positioned by the first positioning assembly 300 along the first direction and locked to the first positioning assembly 300. At the same time, the sample processing assembly 100 is locked to the rack 200 by the third locking member 400, so that the sample processing assembly 100 is fixed in the rack 200 and keeps the position stable.

[0091] It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction are the directions for the sample processing component 100 to enter and exit the rack 200, and the third direction and the fourth direction can be parallel to the vertical direction, or intersect with the first direction and be parallel to the left and right directions of the horizontal plane; therefore, the sample processing component 100 can be positioned by the second positioning component 500 along the left and right directions and / or the vertical directions. Under the positioning action of the second positioning component 500, the second bottom plate 150 of the sample processing component 100 located at the first positioning position is always in contact with the first bottom plate 210, so as to avoid the second bottom plate 150 from being separated from the first bottom plate 210 due to the bumps of the sample processing module during transportation and transfer, causing the sample processing component 100 to shake and deviate from the first positioning position.

[0092] In one embodiment, the second positioning component 500 includes a third positioning surface, and the sample processing component 100 includes a fourth positioning surface. The third positioning surface and the fourth positioning surface abut against each other along the third direction, so that the sample processing component 100 is positioned in the third direction and the fourth direction; further, the second positioning component 500 also includes a fifth positioning surface, and the sample processing component 100 also includes a sixth positioning surface. The third positioning surface and the fourth positioning surface abut against each other in the vertical direction, and the fifth positioning surface and the sixth positioning surface abut against each other in the left-right direction, and the sample processing component 100 is positioned by the second positioning component 500 in the vertical direction and the left-right direction at the same time.

[0093] Or, in another embodiment, Figure 7 The sample processing component 100 includes a first positioning portion 170, and the second positioning component 500 includes a second positioning portion 510. When the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position, the first positioning portion 170 and the second positioning portion 510 are plugged in along the first direction, and are positioned relative to each other along the third direction and the fourth direction, so that the sample processing component 100 is positioned by the second positioning component 500 along the third direction and the fourth direction. It can be understood that during the movement of the sample processing component 100 to the first positioning position, it is guided by the guide surface 320 of the first positioning component 300, and can accurately move along the second direction, and during the movement, the first positioning portion 170 and the second positioning portion 510 are plugged in along the first direction, so that the second positioning component 500 positions the sample processing component 100. The first positioning portion 170 is located on the side of the sample processing component 100 facing the second direction, and the second positioning portion 510 is disposed on the side of the sample processing component 100 facing away from the opening 120. When the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position along the second direction in the rack 200, the first positioning portion 170 is plugged into the second positioning portion 510, so that the sample processing component 100 is positioned along one side of the second direction. At the same time, the first positioning surface 310 abuts against the second positioning surface 110, so that the sample processing component 100 is positioned along one side of the first direction.

[0094] The plug-in positioning method of the first positioning part 170 and the second positioning part 510 is not limited to that one of the first positioning part 170 and the second positioning part 510 is provided with a groove, and the other is provided with a protrusion, the protrusion is inserted into the groove, and is positioned with the groove wall. Alternatively, one of the first positioning part 170 and the second positioning part 510 is provided with a positioning pin, and the other is provided with a positioning hole, the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole, and is positioned with the hole wall of the positioning hole; the shapes of the positioning hole and the positioning pin are adapted, such as the cross-section of the positioning pin is set to a polygon, a circle, an ellipse, etc.

[0095] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Fig.10The first positioning portion 170 includes a first positioning pin 171 and a second positioning pin 172, and the second positioning portion 510 includes a first positioning hole 511 and a second positioning hole 512. The second positioning hole 512 extends along the third direction. When the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position, the first positioning pin 171 is inserted into the first positioning hole 511 and is positioned along the third direction, the fourth direction, the fifth direction, and the sixth direction opposite to the fifth direction. The second positioning pin 172 is inserted into the second positioning hole 512 and is positioned along the fifth direction and the sixth direction. The first direction, the third direction, and the fifth direction intersect with each other. The second positioning component 500 is positioned by the cooperation of the first positioning pin 171 and the first positioning hole 511 to achieve the positioning of the sample processing component 100 in two directions that are angled with each other. Since the second positioning hole 512 has a certain amount of movable margin in the third direction, it can achieve positioning in the fifth direction and the sixth direction by cooperating with the second positioning pin 172, thereby avoiding the situation where the first positioning pin 171 and the second positioning pin 172 are over-constrained and cannot be matched when they are simultaneously inserted into the positioning holes.

[0096] In a specific embodiment, the first direction, the third direction and the fifth direction are perpendicular to each other, so that the first positioning assembly 300 and the second positioning assembly 500 cooperate to position the sample processing assembly 100 in various directions, and it is helpful to simplify the structure of the first positioning assembly 300 and the second positioning assembly 500. For example, the first direction and the second direction are set as the direction for the sample processing assembly 100 to enter and exit the rack 200, that is, the first direction is forward, the second direction is backward, the third direction and the fourth direction are set as vertical directions, that is, the third direction is upward, the fourth direction is downward, and the fifth direction and the sixth direction are set as left and right directions, that is, the fifth direction is left, and the sixth direction is right; or, the first direction is forward, the second direction is backward, the third direction is left, the fourth direction is right, the fifth direction is upward, and the sixth direction is downward.

[0097] When the sample processing component 100 is undergoing post-maintenance, there is a situation where the position needs to be changed, and the second positioning position will change accordingly. In some embodiments, the position of the second positioning component 500 in the third direction or the fourth direction is changed with the help of a tool to adjust the second positioning position of the sample processing component 100 by the second positioning component 500. In another embodiment, the position of the second positioning component 500 does not need to be changed, and the second positioning position of the sample processing component 100 is changed by using the structure of the second positioning component 500 itself. For details, refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11The second positioning assembly 500 has a second unlocking state and a second locking state. The second positioning assembly 500 includes a fixed plate 520 and a floating plate 530. The fixed plate 520 is fixed to the frame 200, and the floating plate 530 is adjustably connected to the fixed plate 520. When the second positioning assembly 500 is in the second locking state, the floating plate 530 is locked to the fixed plate 520, and the floating plate 530 can position the sample processing assembly 100 moved to the second positioning position along the third direction and the fourth direction. When the second positioning assembly 500 is in the second unlocking state, the floating plate 530 can move relative to the fixed plate 520 along the third direction or the fourth direction to adjust the second positioning position of the sample processing assembly 100 along the third direction and the fourth direction. By changing the position of the floating plate 530 on the fixed plate 520, the second positioning assembly 500 can position the sample processing assembly 100 located at different second positioning positions to match various positioning requirements of the sample processing assembly 100.

[0098] It is understandable that the second positioning portion 510 is disposed on the floating plate 530, and the second positioning portion 510 can position the first positioning portion 170 at different second positioning positions by changing the position of the floating plate 530. Further, two floating plates 530 are provided, and the two floating plates 530 are arranged at intervals and installed on the fixed plate 520, one of the floating plates 530 is provided with a first positioning hole 511, and the other floating plate 530 is provided with a second positioning hole 512; or one floating plate 530 is provided, and both the first positioning hole 511 and the second positioning hole 512 are provided on the floating plate 530.

[0099] The floating plate 530 is connected to a side of the fixed plate 520 facing the sample processing assembly 100. In one embodiment, the floating plate 530 is magnetically connected to the fixed plate 520. When the second positioning assembly 500 is in the second locking state, the floating plate 530 is magnetically fixed to the fixed plate 520. When the second positioning assembly 500 is in the second unlocking state, the magnetic attraction between the floating plate 530 and the fixed plate 520 is released, and the floating plate 530 can move relative to the fixed plate 520 along the third direction or the fourth direction. In addition, the floating plate 530 and the fixed plate 520 are provided with a sliding structure that is slidably connected along the third direction or the fourth direction, such as the floating plate 530 is provided with a sliding protrusion, and the fixed plate 520 is provided with a sliding groove, and the sliding protrusion is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The sliding protrusion can slide in the sliding groove when the magnetic attraction between the floating plate 530 and the fixed plate 520 is released, so that the floating plate 530 moves relative to the fixed plate 520 along the third direction or the fourth direction.

[0100] In another embodiment, the second positioning assembly 500 also includes a fourth locking member 540. When the second positioning assembly 500 is in the second locking state, the floating plate 530 is locked to the fixed plate 520 by the fourth locking member 540. When the second positioning assembly 500 is in the second unlocking state, the fourth locking member 540 releases the lock on the floating plate 530, and the floating plate 530 can move relative to the fixed plate 520 in the third direction or the fourth direction. The fourth locking member 540 can be set as a threaded fastener to strengthen the connection strength between the floating plate 530 and the fixed plate 520 when the second positioning assembly 500 is in the second locking state.

[0101] One of the floating plate 530 and the fixed plate 520 is provided with an extension hole 531 extending along the third direction, and the other is provided with a fixing hole 521. The fourth locking member 540 is inserted through the extension hole 531 and the fixing hole 521. When the second positioning assembly 500 is in the second locking state, the fourth locking member 540 locks the floating plate 530 and the fixed plate 520, and the floating plate 530 is locked to the fixed plate 520. When the second positioning assembly 500 is in the second unlocking state, the fourth locking member 540 releases the locking of the floating plate 530 and the fixing portion, and the fourth locking member 540 can move in the extension hole 531, so that the floating plate 530 can move along the third direction or the fourth direction to change the second positioning position of the floating plate 530 positioned along the third direction or the fourth direction. It should be noted that in this case, the third direction intersects with the first direction, and the third direction and the fourth direction can be set as left-right directions or vertical directions.

[0102] In one embodiment, the first positioning position is set as the final position of the sample processing component 100 on the moving path in the rack 200, and the second positioning position is the middle position of the sample processing component 100 on the moving path in the rack 200. For example, the sample processing component 100 entering the rack 200 is guided by the guide surface 320 of the first positioning component 300 and moves along the second direction. When the sample processing component 100 moves to the second positioning position, it is positioned by the second positioning component 500 along the third direction and the fourth direction, and can continue to move along the second direction and continue to be positioned by the second positioning component 500. When the sample processing component 100 moves to the first positioning position, the first positioning surface 310 abuts against the second positioning surface 110, and the sample processing component 100 is positioned by the first positioning component 300 along the first direction. The sample processing component 100 is positioned in the first direction, the third direction and the fourth direction at the same time, and is firmly fixed at the first positioning position.

[0103] like Fig.12 The bottom of the second bottom plate 150 is also provided with a mounting portion 151 for mounting the support rod 600, and the mounting portion 151 is not limited to being set as a hole, a boss, etc. Figure 1The rack 200 also includes a support member 220, which is connected to the bottom of the first bottom plate 210 and is used to support the first bottom plate 210 so that the first bottom plate 210 has a preset height. The support member 220 is not limited to being set as a foot cup, a roller, etc. The mounting portion 151 is arranged in a plurality of intervals along the first direction, and each mounting portion 151 is connected to a support rod 600. When the sample processing component 100 enters and exits the rack 200, the sample processing component 100 is lifted to a corresponding height by installing a support rod 600 at the bottom of the second bottom plate 150, so that the height of the second bottom plate 150 matches that of the first bottom plate 210, and the second bottom plate 150 can be placed on the first bottom plate 210 by pushing the sample processing component 100; it is understandable that a support rod 600 of a corresponding length can be selected according to the height of the first bottom plate 210 to support the sample processing component 100, or the support rod 600 can be set as a retractable structure. In addition, if Figure 2 A handle 152 may also be provided on the top of the second bottom plate 150 , and the handle is for an operator to hold. The operator moves or lifts the sample processing assembly 100 by holding the handle 152 .

[0104] It is understandable that different types and models of sample processing components 100 have different working positions in the rack 200. For example, when the sample processing component 100 is set as a pouring type loading component, the pouring type loading component needs to adapt to the blood cell pre-processing and TLA sample in and out configuration. The manipulator in the pouring type loading component and the whole machine manipulator in the sample processing module have different interactive positions, and the pouring type loading component needs to be able to adjust the position along the first direction in the rack 200. In the utility model, by setting the first positioning component 300 to be adjustably connected to the rack 200, the first positioning position of the first positioning component 300 for positioning the sample processing component 100 along the first direction is adjustable, which can meet the demand for adjustable positioning of the sample processing module along the first direction.

[0105] When the sample processing component 100 is installed into the rack 200 for the first time, the second positioning component 500 is set to be in the second unlocked state, the first positioning component 300 is in the first unlocked state, the second bottom plate 150 of the sample processing component 100 is supported by the support rod 600, the sample processing component 100 is translated to the first bottom plate 210 of the rack 200, and the sample processing component 100 is moved along the second direction under the guidance of the guide surface 320 of the first positioning component 300; the position of the sample processing component 100 is adjusted by using a clamp, so that the sample processing component 100 is moved to the working position (such as the first positioning position), and the manipulator of the sample processing component 100 can interact with the whole machine manipulator of the sample processing module; the position of the floating plate 530 relative to the fixed plate 520 is adjusted, the second positioning part 510 on the floating plate 530 of the second positioning component 500 is plugged with the first positioning part 170 of the sample processing component 100, the first positioning part 170 and the second positioning part 510 are mutually positioned along the third direction and the third direction, and then locked. The fourth locking member 540 locks the floating plate 530 to the fixed plate 520, so that the second positioning assembly 500 is switched to the second locking state. At this time, the side of the sample processing assembly 100 facing the second direction is positioned by the second positioning assembly 500 along the third direction and the fourth direction; the first positioning assembly 300 is pushed along the first direction so that the first positioning surface 310 abuts against the second positioning surface 110, and then the first positioning assembly 300 is locked to the frame 200 by locking the first locking member 390, so that the first positioning assembly 300 is cut off. After switching to the first locking state, the position of the first positioning assembly 300 no longer changes; then the second locking member 301 is locked into the first locking hole 311 at the first positioning surface 310 and the second locking hole 111 at the second positioning surface 110, and the second locking member 301 locks the first positioning surface 310 and the second positioning surface 110; the third locking member 400 is locked into the first bottom plate 210 and the second bottom plate 150, so that the second bottom plate 150 is locked to the first bottom plate 210, and the installation of the sample processing assembly 100 into the rack 200 is completed.

[0106] When the sample processing component 100 needs to be maintained later, the third locking member 400 and the second locking member 301 can be removed to unlock the sample processing component 100, and the sample processing component 100 can be dragged outward along the first direction to withdraw the sample processing component 100 from the rack 200, so that the rack 200 can be maintained. It can be understood that in the case where the sample processing component 100 is withdrawn from the rack 200, after part of the sample processing component 100 is withdrawn from the rack 200, the support rod 600 is installed to the mounting portion 151 of the second bottom plate 150 exposed outside the rack 200, the sample processing component 100 is supported by the support rod 600, and the sample processing component 100 continues to be dragged outward, and the support rod 600 is installed to the mounting portion 151 exposed subsequently, and the sample processing component 100 is jointly supported by multiple support rods 600 until the sample processing component 100 is completely withdrawn from the rack 200; the removal process of the support rod 600 from the mounting portion 151 during the movement of the sample processing component 100 into the rack 200 is opposite to the installation process of the support rod 600 to the mounting portion 151 during the withdrawal of the sample processing component 100 from the rack 200.

[0107] In addition, when the sample processing component 100 is to be maintained later and there is a need to change the first positioning position, the sample processing component 100 is first withdrawn from the rack 200, and then the first locking member 390 is removed, so that the first positioning component 300 is switched to the first unlocked state, and the position of the first positioning component 300 in the first direction is changed to adjust the first positioning position of the first positioning component 300 for positioning the sample processing component 100 in the first direction, and then the first locking member 390 is locked to lock the first positioning component 300 to the rack 200, and switched to the first locked state, and the sample processing component 100 is pushed back into the rack 200, and the sample processing component 100 can be positioned to the adjusted first positioning position. When the sample processing component 100 is to be maintained and there is a need to change the second positioning position, the sample processing component 100 is first withdrawn from the rack 200, and then the fourth locking member 540 is removed to switch the second positioning component 500 to the second unlocked state, and the position of the floating plate 530 in the third direction or the fourth direction is changed to adjust the second positioning position of the second positioning component 500 for positioning the sample processing component 100 in the third direction and the fourth direction, and then the fourth locking member 540 is locked to lock the floating plate 530 to the fixed plate 520, and the second positioning component 500 is switched to the second locked state, and the sample processing component 100 is pushed back into the rack 200, and the sample processing component 100 can be positioned by the second positioning component 500 at the adjusted second positioning position.

[0108] The present invention also provides a sample processing module of another embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2The sample processing module includes a sample processing component 100, a rack 200 and a first positioning component 300. The first positioning component 300 is adjustably connected to the rack 200. The sample processing component 100 located at the first positioning position is locked to the rack 200 by the first positioning component 300, so that the sample processing component 100 is firmly fixed at the first positioning position in the rack 200. Since the first positioning component 300 can adjust the position relative to the rack 200, the specific position of the first positioning component 300 can be set in advance according to the working position of the sample processing component 100 in the rack 200. When the sample processing component 100 is installed inside the rack 200, it can be locked in a preset action position by the first positioning component 300, so that the sample processing component 100 can be locked in a small space, and the positioning and subsequent maintenance of the sample processing component 100 in the rack 200 are more convenient.

[0109] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The first positioning assembly 300 includes a second locking member 301, the first positioning assembly 300 includes a first positioning surface 310, and a first locking hole 311 is provided at the first positioning surface 310. The sample processing assembly 100 includes a second positioning surface 110, and a second locking hole 111 is provided at the second positioning surface 110. When the sample processing assembly 100 is located at the first positioning position, the first positioning surface 310 and the second positioning surface 110 abut against each other along the first direction. The second locking member 301 is penetrated through the first locking hole 311 and the second locking hole 111 to lock the sample processing assembly 100 and the first positioning assembly 300, and the first positioning assembly 300 is locked to the rack 200; therefore, the first positioning assembly 300 has the function of positioning the sample processing assembly 100 in the first direction. When the sample processing assembly 100 moves to the preset first positioning position, it is positioned by the first positioning surface 310, and the sample processing assembly 100 is locked to the first positioning assembly 300 by the second locking member 301, so that the sample processing assembly 100 is fixed in the rack 200.

[0110] Further, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6The first positioning assembly 300 includes an adjustment plate 380 and a first locking member 390. The frame 200 includes a first base plate 210. The first base plate 210 is used to support the sample processing assembly 100. One of the first base plate 210 and the adjustment plate 380 is provided with an adjustment hole 381, and the other is provided with a mounting hole. The first locking member 390 is penetrated in the adjustment hole 381 and the mounting hole. The first positioning assembly 300 can change its position by moving the first locking member 390 in the adjustment hole 381. When the sample processing assembly 100 is located at the first positioning position, the first positioning assembly 300 is locked to the first base plate 210 by the first locking member 390, and the sample processing assembly 100 is locked to the first positioning assembly 300; thus, the first positioning assembly 300 can change the first positioning position for positioning the sample processing assembly 100 in the first direction by moving the first locking member 390 in the adjustment hole 381.

[0111] In addition, if Fig. 9 The sample processing module also includes a third locking piece 400, the rack 200 includes a first bottom plate 210, the first bottom plate 210 is used to support the sample processing component 100, the sample processing component 100 includes a second bottom plate 150, when the sample processing component 100 is located at the first positioning position, the third locking piece 400 locks the first bottom plate 210 and the second bottom plate 150, so that the sample processing component 100 is locked to the rack 200, and the position of the sample processing component 100 in the rack 200 is more stable.

[0112] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the utility model. In addition, the embodiments of the utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
