Description

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a recycling mechanism, a consumables feeding system and a sample analyzer. Background Art

[0002] Taking the immunoassay analyzer in the sample analyzer as an example, the immunoassay analyzer is a highly sensitive and specific analytical instrument that has developed rapidly worldwide in recent years. It is used in clinical laboratories to detect various immune indicators of samples such as blood, urine or other body fluids. The principle is to combine the two technologies of antibody-antigen reaction and chemiluminescence to achieve high specificity and high sensitivity.

[0003] In immunoassay analyzers, a consumable feeding system is usually required to transfer consumables to a feeding station so that the consumables can be quickly replaced to ensure that the immunoassay analyzer can operate continuously and efficiently.

[0004] In the related art, the consumables feeding system in the immunoassay analyzer also needs to centrally recycle and process the used consumables. In order to prevent cross-contamination and comply with biosafety regulations, conventional recycling module designs usually require that consumables and consumable boxes be recycled separately, and related technologies generally have corresponding consumables recycling mechanisms and consumable box recycling mechanisms. However, the two independent recycling mechanisms increase the space occupied inside the instrument, making the structure of the consumables feeding system more complicated, and the user needs to handle two independent recycling mechanisms separately, which increases the operation steps and time required, affecting work efficiency.

The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only implementation method.

[0041] The present application provides a sample analyzer, which is used to detect samples and provide a basis for clinical treatment. The sample analyzer can be an immunoassay analyzer, a coagulation analyzer, a blood cell analyzer, a urine analyzer, etc., and the specific type is not limited here. For the convenience of explanation, the following embodiments are all described by taking the sample analyzer as an immunoassay analyzer as an example.

[0042] See also Figure 1 The sample analyzer usually includes a consumable feeding system 1 and a filling system. The consumable feeding system 1 can store consumables and transfer the stored consumables to the feeding station so that the filling system can quickly replace the consumables to ensure that the immunoassay analyzer can operate continuously and efficiently. Moreover, after the feeding is completed, the consumables can be centrally recovered, which is convenient to use. The filling system is used to operate the consumables to transfer and fill samples, reagents, or mixed solutions of samples and reagents.

[0043] The consumable feeding system 1 includes a storage mechanism 10, a lifting mechanism and a recovery mechanism 20. The storage mechanism 10 is used to store consumable boxes. The lifting mechanism is used to transport the consumable boxes in the storage mechanism 10 to the feeding station to realize consumable feeding. The recovery mechanism 20 is used to recover consumables and consumable boxes where consumables are placed.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that in order to improve the transmission efficiency of consumables, multiple consumables are usually placed together in a consumable box and transmitted synchronously. After the feeding is completed, the used consumables and empty consumable boxes need to be recycled.

[0045] Please refer again Figure 1 , and also see Figure 2The storage mechanism 10 has a first recycling station, the sample analyzer has a second recycling station, and the recycling mechanism 20 includes a main body 21, a first recycling component 22 and a second recycling component 23, and the first recycling component 22 and the second recycling component 23 are both arranged on the main body 21. The first recycling component 22 has a first recycling space 221, the first recycling space 221 is located below the first recycling station and aligned with the first recycling station, and the first recycling space 221 is used to collect the first waste material dropped from the first recycling station. The second recycling component 23 has a second recycling space 231, the second recycling space 231 is located below the second recycling station and aligned with the second recycling station, and the second recycling space 231 is used to collect the second waste material dropped from the second recycling station.

[0046] The first waste material is a consumable box, and the second waste material is consumables.

[0047] After each filling is completed, the filling system first drives the used consumables to move to the second recycling station so that the consumables can be recycled by the second recycling component 23, and then the filling system moves to the feeding station to replace new consumables so that they can be refilled later. After the feeding of the consumable box is completed, that is, after all the consumables in it are used up, the lifting mechanism transfers the empty consumable box above the feeding station to the storage mechanism 10, and transports it to the first recycling station through the storage mechanism 10, so that the consumable box can be recycled by the first recycling component 22. In the related art, the recycling mechanism 20 is set to two, one of which includes a main body 21 and a first recycling component 22, the first recycling component 22 is carried on the main body 21 in the same mechanism, and is used to recycle the consumable box, and the other recycling mechanism 20 includes a main body 21 and a second recycling component 23, the second recycling component 23 is carried on the main body 21 in the same mechanism, and is used to recycle consumables. In other words, the consumable feeding system 1 uses two different recycling mechanisms 20 to recycle consumables and consumable boxes respectively. This method requires the installation of two recycling mechanisms 20, which increases the space occupied inside the consumable feeding system 1, making the structure of the consumable feeding system 1 more complicated, and the user needs to handle two independent recycling mechanisms 20 separately, which increases the operation steps and the time required, affecting work efficiency.

[0048] In the present application, a first recycling component 22 and a second recycling component 23 are designed in the main body 21, the first recycling component 22 is used to recycle the consumable box, and the second recycling component is used to recycle the consumables. In this way, the consumables and the consumable box can be recycled by using a recycling mechanism 20, the consumable feeding system 1 has a simple structure, occupies a small space, has a low manufacturing cost, and is convenient for users to recycle the consumables and the consumable box at the same time, reducing the operation steps and the required time, and improving work efficiency.

[0049] Please refer again Figure 2 , and also see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some optional embodiments, the main body 21 can slide along its length direction under the action of external force; the recovery mechanism 20 also includes a recovery drive assembly 24, which is arranged on the main body 21 and is used to drive the second recovery component 23 to reciprocate relative to the main body 21 along the length direction of the main body 21, so that different areas of the second recovery space 231 are aligned with the second recovery station. In this way, the main body 21 can be drawn out and pushed back along its length direction, and at the same time, different areas of the second recovery space 231 are aligned with the second recovery station at different time periods and used to recover consumables, thereby avoiding the consumables from accumulating and overflowing in the same area of ​​the second recovery space 231. Therefore, the consumables can be more evenly recovered into the second recovery component 23, thereby improving the utilization rate of the second recovery space 231.

[0050] In some optional embodiments, the recycling drive assembly 24 includes a recycling drive motor 241 and a recycling drive unit, the recycling drive unit includes a recycling driving wheel 246, a recycling driven wheel 247 and a recycling synchronous belt 248, the recycling drive motor 241 and the recycling driven wheel 247 are arranged on the main body 21, and the recycling drive motor 241 is transmission-connected to the recycling driving wheel 246, the recycling synchronous belt 248 is sleeved on the outside of the recycling driving wheel 246 and the recycling driven wheel 247, and the second recycling component 23 is supported on the recycling synchronous belt 248. This driving mode is stable and reliable, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the movement of the second recycling component 23.

[0051] Further, in some optional embodiments, there are multiple recovery drive units, all of which are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the main body 21, and the second recovery component 23 is supported on the recovery synchronous belt 248 of all recovery drive units. The recovery drive assembly 24 also includes a recovery transmission unit, which includes a recovery transmission wheel 242, a recovery intermediate wheel 243, a transmission synchronous belt 244 and a transmission shaft 245. The recovery drive motor 241 is connected to the recovery transmission wheel 242, and the transmission synchronous belt 244 is sleeved outside the recovery transmission wheel 242 and the recovery intermediate wheel 243. The recovery driving wheels 246 of all recovery drive units are distributed on opposite sides of the recovery intermediate wheel 243, and the recovery intermediate wheel 243 and the recovery driving wheels 246 of all recovery drive units are fixed on the transmission shaft 245. Under this design, the second recovery component 23 can be stably supported on the recovery synchronous belt 248 of all recovery drive units, and the movement of the second recovery component 23 is more stable and reliable.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, the second recovery part 23 moves between a first position and a second position relative to the main body 21 along the length direction of the main body 21, and the first position is located between the first recovery part 22 and the second position; the recovery mechanism 20 also includes a position detection component, which is arranged on the main body 21 and is used to detect whether the second recovery part 23 moves to the second position when the recovery mechanism 20 is initialized, and the recovery drive assembly 24 is also configured to drive the second recovery part 23 to move to the second position when the recovery mechanism 20 is initialized and the second recovery part 23 has not moved to the second position.

[0053] Specifically, the consumable feeding system 1 also includes a controller, and the position detection component and the recovery drive motor 241 are electrically connected to the controller. When the recovery mechanism 20 is initialized, the position detection component detects whether the second recovery component 23 moves to the second position and feeds back to the controller. When the second recovery component 23 does not move to the second position, the controller drives the recovery drive motor 241 to work, so that the second recovery component 23 can automatically move to the second position, thereby facilitating automatic return.

[0054] The first position refers to the position where the second recycling component 23 is close to the first recycling component 22, and the second position refers to the position where the second recycling component 23 is away from the first recycling component 22. When the main body 21 is pushed back and the second recycling component 23 is located at the first position, the second recycling space 231 of the second recycling component 23 is completely misaligned with the second recycling station and cannot receive consumables. When the main body 21 is pushed back and the second recycling component 23 is located at the second position, the second recycling space 231 of the second recycling component 23 is aligned with the second recycling station and can collect consumables dropped from the second recycling station.

[0055] Because the second recycling component 23 can move between the first position and the second position, the second recycling component 23 does not need to be set very large. When the main body 21 is pulled out, the second recycling component 23 will move to the first position. It is only necessary to pull out the first recycling component 22 and the second recycling component 23 located at the first position, that is, the pulling length will be shorter, so the occupied space will be reduced. Specifically, the consumable feeding system 1 has a frame 30, a recycling channel is opened on the frame 30, the recycling mechanism 20 is located in the recycling channel, and the main body 21 is a pull-out structure and extends along the axial direction of the recycling channel, that is, the length direction of the main body 21 is consistent with the axial direction of the recycling channel. When the main body 21 is pushed back into the recycling channel, the first recycling component 22 is outside compared to the second recycling component 23. When the first recycling component 22 is full of consumables, and the second recycling component 23 is full of consumables, it is necessary to pull the main body 21 out of the recycling channel and empty the consumables box in the first recycling component 22 and the consumables in the second recycling component 23. When the main body 21 is pulled out, the first recycling component 22 extends to the outside before the second recycling component 23. After the first recycling component 22 and the second recycling component 23 are taken out from the main body 21 respectively, and the consumables box in the first recycling component 22 and the consumables in the second recycling component 23 are emptied, the first recycling component 22 and the second recycling component 23 are reinstalled on the main body 21, and then the main body 21 is pushed back into the recycling channel.

[0056] When the main body 21 is partially pulled out, the second recycling part 23 is located at the first position to facilitate the placement of the first recycling part 22 and the second recycling part 23. When the first recycling part 22 and the second recycling part 23 are emptied, the first recycling part 22 and the second recycling part 23 are reinstalled on the main body 21, and the second recycling part 23 is placed in the first position, and then the recycling mechanism 20 is initialized. When initializing, the main body 21 is first pushed back into the recycling channel, and then the second recycling part 23 moves from the first position to the second position under the action of the recycling drive motor 241, so that the second recycling part 23 can receive the consumables dropped from the second recycling station in the subsequent process.

[0057] To facilitate the extraction and pushing back of the main body 21, the recovery mechanism 20 further includes a pull-out drive assembly 26. The main body 21 is slidably mounted on the frame 30. The pull-out drive assembly 26 is disposed on the frame 30 and is used to drive the main body 21 to slide along its length direction to achieve the extraction or pushing back of the main body 21. In addition, a slide rail 40 is also disposed on the frame 30. The slide rail 40 is used to guide the sliding of the main body 21 to improve the sliding stability of the main body 21.

[0058] As an example, the pulling and pulling drive assembly 26 includes a pulling and pulling drive motor 261, a pulling and pulling driving wheel 262, a pulling and pulling driven wheel 263 and a pulling and pulling synchronous belt 264. The pulling and pulling drive motor 261 and the pulling and pulling driven wheel 263 are both installed on the frame 30, and the pulling and pulling drive motor 261 is connected to the pulling and pulling driving wheel 262 by transmission. The pulling and pulling synchronous belt 264 is sleeved on the outside of the pulling and pulling driving wheel 262 and the pulling and pulling driven wheel 263, and the main body 21 is connected to the pulling and pulling synchronous belt 264. This driving method can stably drive the main body 21 to slide.

[0059] For the convenience of control, the pull-out drive motor 261 is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller controls the pull-out drive motor 261 to start or shut down.

[0060] Of course, the specific structure of the pull-out drive assembly 26 is not limited to the above-mentioned one, and may also be other drive forms, which are not specifically limited here.

[0061] Next, the specific working process of the recovery mechanism 20 is described in detail.

[0062] When the first recycling component 22 and the second recycling component 23 are full, the controller controls the pull-out drive motor 261 to drive the main body 21 to partially extend out of the recycling channel. During this process, the recycling drive motor 241 drives the second recycling component 23 to move from the second position to the first position, so that the second recycling component 23 and the main body 21 can be transported out of the rack 30 at the same time, which is convenient for the user to empty the first recycling component 22 and the second recycling component 23 at the same time. Afterwards, the first recycling component 22 and the second recycling component 23 are put back into the main body 21, and the controller controls the pull-out drive motor 261 to drive the main body 21 to slowly enter the recycling channel. At the same time, the recycling drive motor 241 drives the second recycling component 23 to move from the first position to the second position.

[0063] Please refer again Figure 2 In some optional embodiments, the recycling mechanism 20 also includes a partition 25, which is disposed on the main body 21 and located between the first recycling component 22 and the second recycling component 23, so as to separate the first recycling component 22 and the second recycling component 23 to prevent the second recycling component 23 from colliding with the first recycling component 22 during the process of sliding from the second position to the first position, thereby causing the consumables and / or consumable boxes to be scattered outside the recycling mechanism 20.

[0064] Please refer again Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and also see Figures 5 to 7The storage mechanism 10 further includes a guide 14, which is located at the first recycling station and is used to guide the first waste material to fall centrally to the first recycling space 221. The first waste material is the consumable box. In this way, after the consumable box is piled up to a certain height in the central position of the first recycling space 221, it will collapse and scatter around the first recycling space 221 due to unstable center of gravity, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the first recycling space 221.

[0065] Specifically, the storage mechanism 10 includes a storage body 1121, a storage drive unit 12 and an unloading drive unit 13. The storage body 1121 has a storage channel 111 and an unloading channel 112. The guide 14 is arranged outside the unloading channel 112 and is located at the exit 111a of the unloading channel 112. The exit 111a of the unloading channel 112 is where the first recycling station is located.

[0066] The storage drive unit 12 may also include a storage motor 122, a storage shaft 123, a storage driving wheel 124, a storage driven wheel and a storage transmission belt 121. The storage transmission belt 121 is arranged in the storage channel 111. There are multiple storage driving wheels 124, storage driven wheels and storage transmission belt 121. The storage driving wheels 124 and storage driven wheels correspond to the storage transmission belt 121 one by one. The storage transmission belt 121 is sleeved outside the corresponding storage driving wheel 124 and the corresponding storage driven wheel. The storage motor 122 and the storage driven wheel are both installed on the storage body 1121. The storage motor 122 is connected to one of the storage driving wheels 124 in a transmission manner. All storage driving wheels 124 are sleeved and fixed on the storage shaft 123. The power of the storage motor 122 is transmitted to the storage transmission belt 121 corresponding to the storage driving wheel 124 through the storage driving wheel 124. In this embodiment, there are multiple storage conveyor belts 121, and the same consumable box is simultaneously carried on all storage conveyor belts 121, so the stability of consumable box transportation can be improved. In addition, all storage conveyor belts 121 are driven by the same storage motor 122, and the storage drive unit 12 has fewer parts and a simple and compact structure.

[0067] The unloading drive unit 13 includes an unloading motor 131, an unloading shaft 132, an unloading driving wheel 133, an unloading driven wheel 134 and an unloading conveyor belt 135. The unloading conveyor belt 135 is arranged in the unloading channel 112. There are multiple unloading driving wheels 133, unloading driven wheels 134 and unloading conveyor belt 135, and the unloading driving wheels 133 and unloading driven wheels 134 correspond to the unloading conveyor belt 135 one by one. The unloading conveyor belt 135 is sleeved outside the corresponding unloading driving wheels 133 and the corresponding unloading driven wheels 134. The unloading motor 131 and the unloading driven wheels 134 are both installed on the storage body 1121. The unloading motor 131 is connected to one of the unloading driving wheels 133 in transmission, and all the unloading driving wheels 133 are sleeved and fixed on the unloading shaft 132. The power of the unloading motor 131 is transmitted to the unloading conveyor belt 135 corresponding to the unloading driving wheel 133 through the unloading driving wheel 133. In this embodiment, there are multiple unloading conveyor belts 135, and the consumable box is simultaneously located on all the unloading conveyor belts 135 and is transported, which is conducive to improving the stability of the consumable box transmission. In addition, all the unloading conveyor belts 135 can work under the drive of the same unloading motor 131, and the unloading drive unit 13 has fewer parts and a simple and compact structure.

[0068] During actual operation, the storage motor 122 drives the storage conveyor belt 121 to transport the consumable box filled with consumables to the outlet 111a of the storage channel 111 and is received by the lifting mechanism. Then, the lifting mechanism transports the consumable box filled with consumables to the feeding station for feeding. After the feeding is completed, the lifting mechanism transports the empty consumable box to the inlet 112a of the unloading channel 112. Then, the unloading channel 112 receives the empty consumable box and transports the consumable box to the outlet 111a of the unloading channel 112, that is, the first recycling station. Under the guidance of the guide 14, the consumable box falls centrally into the first recycling space 221 of the first recycling component 22 and is recycled.

[0069] The recycling mechanism 20, the consumable material feeding system 1 and the sample analyzer are designed with a first recycling component 22 and a second recycling component 23 in the main body 21. The first recycling component 22 is used to recycle the first waste material, and the second recycling component is used to recycle the second waste material. In this way, the first waste material and the second waste material can be recycled by using one recycling mechanism 20. The consumable material feeding system 1 has a simple structure, occupies a small space, has a low manufacturing cost, and is convenient for users to recycle consumable materials and consumable material boxes at the same time, which reduces the operation steps and the required time, and improves work efficiency.
