There is a label on the sample container to be identified, and the label stores the patient's information, which has been previously entered and stored on the server side. The embodiment of the present invention is to read the information on the label, so as to correspond to the information stored on the server, and read and compare whether the information of multiple labels is of the same patient or a couple at the same time. When using this device, place multiple sample containers with labels in the front area of the front housing 11, so that the RFID antenna 3 can identify the information on the label, and the reader 4 analyzes and identifies the number and content of the labels, and communicates with the control board 2 interactively, and transmits the identified number and content of the labels to the control board 2 for centralized processing. After being processed by the control board 2, the label information is compared with the information stored locally. The control board 2 displays the compared information and results through the display screen 5, which is convenient for the staff to view the compared information and results on the display screen 5. If they are consistent, the multiple samples read can be used for subsequent experiments or treatments. Compared with the traditional technology where only manual checking is used, mistakes may occur during label recording or comparison. The embodiment of the present invention realizes the intelligent control and management of the laboratory process through the automatic identification of labels and the information comparison on the server side, improving the checking efficiency and accuracy.
[0031] An apparatus for laboratory sample identification provided by an embodiment of the present utility model has a label attached to each sample container, and the information on the label is stored on the server side. The sample is placed in the area in front of the front shell 11 for identification. The RFID antenna 3 is used to identify the label on the sample and transmit a signal to the reader 4. The reader 4 analyzes the number and content of the identified labels and interacts with the control board 2. The number and content of the identified labels are transmitted to the control board 2 for centralized processing, and then compared with the information stored locally through the control board 2. Then, a signal is transmitted from the control board 2 to the display screen 5 to display the read label information and the comparison result. The staff only needs to check the comparison result on the display screen to determine whether the multiple samples taken out belong to the same patient or a couple, which can effectively solve the problems of low verification efficiency and high error rate in the prior art.

The camera is aligned with the scanning area in front of the housing 11 and the display screen 5 to record the verification operation process. When the reader 4 recognizes the information transmitted by the RFID antenna 3, it transmits a signal to the control board 2, and the control board 2 transmits a signal to the camera interface 121, thereby starting the camera to take pictures or record videos. The image information is uploaded to the database server through the network. When an abnormality occurs during the verification process, the taken pictures or videos can be viewed to retrospectively and examine whether there is an abnormality in the operation process. Usually, the name and gender information of the patient are directly recorded on the label on the sample container for secondary verification. By setting the camera, the label information on the sample container can also be photographed and image recognition can be performed, and the recognized text information is compared with the information transmitted back from the server end through the POE module 6 for a second comparison, and the comparison result is displayed on the display screen 5, thereby providing another verification method to further prevent the situation of taking the wrong sample and improving the verification accuracy of this device.
