Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of in vitro diagnosis, and specifically relates to a sample analysis system, a system sample loading device, and a full laboratory automation production line. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of medical technology, the demand for sample testing is increasing. To meet the demand for sample testing and reduce testing time, total laboratory automation (TLA) has emerged as a pipeline system for testing samples. When using TLA to test samples, sample turnaround time (TAT) is a factor of great concern to clinical laboratories. The "Criteria for Accreditation of Quality and Competence of Medical Laboratories" also clearly defines turnaround time as a laboratory quality indicator. Each clinical laboratory needs to determine a turnaround time for each test that reflects clinical needs and regularly review whether the indicator requirements are met.
[0003] A fully automated laboratory assembly line is a highly complex automated system, with each component module subject to a certain probability of failure. Maintaining the maximum possible turnaround time for clinical laboratory test samples in the event of a failure—improving the assembly line's ability to mitigate single failures—is a core objective of its development.
[0004] The fully automated laboratory production line usually includes a pre-treatment system, several sample analysis systems, and a main rail transmission system for transmitting interactive samples between the pre-treatment system and each sample analysis system. The sample analysis system usually supports cascading several (for example, 1-4) sample analyzers and analysis system transmission devices. The pre-treatment system is mainly used to receive samples to be tested and transmit the samples to be tested to the main rail transmission system. The main rail transmission system is used to transmit the samples to be tested to the analysis system transmission device of the corresponding sample analysis system, and the analysis system transmission device transmits the samples to be tested to the corresponding sample analyzer for testing by the sample analyzer. In the related art, the samples to be tested are all loaded through the pre-treatment system and are all transmitted to the sample analysis system via the main rail transmission system. Once any one of the pre-treatment system and the main rail transmission system fails, the entire laboratory automated production line will be paralyzed, the disaster prevention capability is poor, and it is difficult to guarantee the sample turnover time. Especially when there are batches of emergency samples or other batches of samples that need to have test results as soon as possible, if any of the pre-processing system and the main rail transmission system fails, testing can only be continued after the fault is eliminated, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of various testing application scenarios.

[0059] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0060] The present invention provides a sample analysis system, a system loading device, a fully automated laboratory production line, and a control method thereof. The sample analysis system can be arranged along a main rail transmission system, and a system loading device can be arranged in at least one sample analysis system. The sample carrying area of the system loading device is used to carry samples, and the sample transfer module is used to transfer samples between the sample carrying area and the sample scheduling transmission module. The sample scheduling transmission module can be arranged between the main rail transmission system of the fully automated laboratory production line and the first analysis system transmission device of the system analysis device of the sample analysis system and docked with both respectively so as to exchange samples with both respectively. In this way, the sample analysis system has the ability of independent sample loading and sample scheduling, which can realize but is not limited to the following functions: the system loading device of the sample analysis system can independently realize sample loading, and the loaded sample has at least one of the following transmission paths:
[0061] The sample is transmitted to the corresponding sample analyzer through the first analysis system transmission device for analysis and processing by the sample analyzer;
[0062] Transfer to other sample analysis systems in the full laboratory automation line through the main rail transfer system;

[0073] Therefore, when the above-mentioned faults occur in the fully automated laboratory production line provided by the present invention, it has better disaster prevention capabilities and can better meet TAT requirements and some expedited testing sample requirements;
[0074] In addition, in some application scenarios of the present invention, the system loading device of the analysis system can also work in parallel with the pre-treatment system of the full laboratory automation pipeline to achieve parallel loading, thereby improving the sample processing throughput of the full laboratory automation pipeline.

[0090] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0091] like Figure 1 As shown, the fully automated laboratory production line provided in this embodiment includes a pre-processing system 100, a main-track transport system 200, and at least one sample analysis system 300. The pre-processing system 100 interfaces with the main-track transport system 200 to enable sample exchange. That is, the pre-processing system 100 can be used to deliver samples (including but not limited to samples to be tested) to the main-track transport system 200, and receive samples (including but not limited to samples that have completed testing, abnormal samples, and samples to be tested (e.g., samples to be pre-processed)) from the main-track transport system 200.
[0092] like Figure 1 and Figure 2-1As shown, the sample analysis system 300 is configured to interface with the main rail transport system 200 of the full laboratory automation pipeline, forming a part of the full laboratory automation pipeline. Among them, at least one sample analysis system 300 is configured to include a system sample loading device 310 and a system analysis device.
[0093] The system loading device 310 includes a sample carrying area 311, a sample transfer module (not shown in the figure) and a sample scheduling and transmission module 410. The sample carrying area 311 is used to carry samples. In some examples, a sample loading and unloading carrier is provided in the sample carrying area 311. The sample transfer module is at least used to transfer samples between the sample carrying area 311 and the sample scheduling and transmission module 410. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 is provided with a sample transfer position for the sample transfer module. For ease of understanding, the area where the sample transfer position is set in the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 is used as an example for explanation of the transmission track. For an example, see Figure 2-2 As shown, the sample transfer point Z can be set on the transmission trunk of the track segment. For example, when the track segment includes a first sub-track and a second sub-track, the sample transfer point Z can be set on the trunk of either the first sub-track or the second sub-track, or can be set on the trunk of the first sub-track and the second sub-track respectively. In this example, the first sub-track and the second sub-track of the track segment may not be set with branch trunks. For another example, see Figure 2-3 As shown, the sample transfer position can also be set on the branch road of the track segment. For example, when the track segment includes a first sub-track and a second sub-track, any one of the first sub-track and the second sub-track can have a branch road connected to the main road (such as Figure 2-3 The arc-shaped branch road in the figure, the specific shape of the branch road is not limited here), the sample transfer position Z can be set on the branch road, and the sample to be transferred can enter the branch road through the main road, and the sample transfer is completed on the branch road; for example, see Figure 2-4 As shown, branch roads can also be set on the main roads of the first sub-track and the second sub-track (such as Figure 2-4 In the embodiment, at least one of the first sample transfer position, the second sample transfer position, the third sample transfer position and the fourth sample transfer position in the following examples may be adopted but is not limited to Figure 2-2 to Figure 2-4 The setting methods shown are not described in detail later.
[0094] When docking with the main rail transport system 200 , the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 is configured to be located between the main rail transport system 200 and the first analysis system transmission device 320 and dock with both respectively, so as to be able to exchange samples with both respectively.
[0095] The system analysis device includes a first sample analyzer 330 and a first analysis system transmission device 320 adapted for use with the first sample analyzer 330. The first analysis system transmission device 320 is configured to transmit samples from the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 to the corresponding first sample analyzer 330 for analysis and processing by the first sample analyzer 330. In some examples, the analysis and processing of the samples by the first sample analyzer 330 includes testing the samples and / or performing various pre-test processing on the samples, such as slide pushing, slide staining, and corresponding instrumentation.
[0096] In one embodiment, the system loading device 310 further includes a sample storage module, which includes a sample storage carrier for storing sample tubes. The sample storage module is used to buffer samples, and the area where the sample storage module is located is inaccessible to operators. For example, the sample storage module can be an independent area within the sample loading area 311, or it can be an area within the system loading device 310 that is independent of the sample loading area 311 and is used to buffer samples.
[0097] like Figure 2-1 As shown, in this embodiment, when the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 is docked with the main rail transmission system 200, it is configured to be located between the main rail transmission system 200 and the first analysis system transmission device 320 and docked with both of them respectively, so as to be able to exchange samples with both of them respectively, that is, the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 can dock with the main rail transmission system 200 to achieve sample interaction, and the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 can also dock with the analysis system transmission device 320 to achieve sample interaction. In an example for easy understanding, a first interface 401 and a second interface 402 are provided between the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 and the first analysis system transmission device 320, and a third interface 403 and a fourth interface 404 are provided between the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 and the main rail transmission system 200. Among them, the first interface 401 is used to receive the sample transmission carrier input from the first analysis system transmission device 320 to the sample scheduling transmission module 410, the second interface 402 is used for the sample scheduling transmission module 410 to transmit the sample transmission carrier to the analysis system transmission device 320, the third interface 403 is used to receive the sample transmission carrier input from the main rail transmission system 200 to the sample scheduling transmission module 410, and the fourth interface 404 is used for the sample scheduling transmission module 410 to transmit the sample transmission carrier to the main rail transmission system 200. Figure 2-1 The interfaces in the other figures are merely examples of locations and transmission paths for ease of understanding. The transmission paths include but are not limited to the following examples:
[0098] Example 1: The first sample transmission path is as follows Figure 3 As shown by the middle arrow, the first sample transmission path includes at least the following sample transmission paths:
[0099] Main rail transmission system 200 → sample scheduling transmission module 410 → main rail transmission system 200;
[0100] Main rail transport system 200 → sample scheduling and transport module 410 → sample carrying area 311 → sample scheduling and transport module 410 → main rail transport system 200;
[0101] Sample carrying area 311 → sample scheduling and transmission module 410 → main rail transmission system 200;
[0102] Sample carrying area 311 →sample scheduling and transport module 410 →main rail transport system 200 →sample scheduling and transport module 410 →sample carrying area 311 .
[0103] The above sample transmission paths provided by the first sample transmission path make the full laboratory automation pipeline have better compatibility, flexibility and disaster recovery capabilities. For example, when the pre-processing system 100 fails and / or a certain section of the main rail transmission system 200 that does not affect the formation of the transmission path fails, the system loading device 310 can replace the pre-processing system 100 for normal sampling, and the sample to be tested can be transmitted to other sample analysis systems 300 connected to the sample scheduling transmission module 410 through the sample scheduling transmission module 410, so that the full laboratory automation pipeline still has the ability to load samples normally and analyze and test, especially to ensure the timely detection of emergency samples or other samples that need to produce test results as soon as possible, and can better meet the needs of various detection application scenarios. For example, in the example of the first sample transmission path, Figure 3 When at least one of the first sample analyzer 330 and / or the first analysis system transmission device 320 of the sample analysis system 300 shown in the figure fails, the system loading device 310 can still perform normal operations such as loading samples. For example, it can replace the loading function of the pretreatment system 100, or load samples in parallel with the pretreatment system 100 to improve the system processing throughput.
[0104] Example 2: The second sample transmission path is as follows Figure 4 As shown by the arrow in the middle, the transmission path includes at least the following sample transmission paths:
[0105] Sample carrying area 311 → sample scheduling and transmission module 410 → first analysis system transmission device 320;
[0106] Sample carrying area 311 → sample scheduling and transmission module 410 → first analysis system transmission device 320 → sample scheduling and transmission module 410;
[0107] Sample carrying area 311 → sample scheduling and transmission module 410 → first analysis system transmission device 320 → sample scheduling and transmission module 410 → sample carrying area 311;
[0108] The above sample transmission path provided by the second sample transmission path makes the full laboratory automation pipeline further have better compatibility, flexibility and disaster recovery capabilities. For example, in some application scenarios, the above setting of the second sample transmission path can enable the sample analysis system 300 connected to the full laboratory automation pipeline to work independently; for example, when the current number of samples and the sample analysis system 300 of the test items can meet the requirements, only the sample analysis system 300 can be started to perform sample analysis and detection without starting the entire full laboratory automation pipeline, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and can reduce costs and improve the flexibility of the full laboratory automation pipeline. In this application scenario, at least one of the main rail transmission system 200 and the pre-treatment system 100 can be in a normal state or an abnormal state, and neither affects the independent work of the sample analysis system 300. For example, in some application scenarios, when at least one of the main rail transmission system 200 and the pre-treatment system 100 of the full laboratory automation pipeline is in an abnormal state, only the sample analysis system 300 can still perform sample loading and analysis and detection independently, thereby further improving the disaster recovery capability of the full laboratory automation pipeline. In some other application scenarios, the system loading device 310 shown in Figure 4 can also load samples in parallel with the pre-treatment system 100 to improve the system processing throughput, etc.
[0109] Example 3: The third sample transmission path is as follows Figure 5 As shown by the arrow in the middle, the third sample transmission path in this example includes at least the following sample transmission paths in addition to the sample transmission paths shown in Examples 1 and 2 above:
[0110] Main track transmission system 200 → sample scheduling transmission module 410 → first analysis system transmission device 320;
[0111] Main rail transport system 200 → sample scheduling and transport module 410 → first analysis system transport device 320 → sample scheduling and transport module 410 → sample carrying area 311;
[0112] Main rail transport system 200 → sample scheduling and transport module 410 → first analysis system transport device 320 → sample scheduling and transport module 410 → main rail transport system 200;
[0113] Main rail transport system 200 → sample scheduling and transport module 410 → first analysis system transport device 320 → sample scheduling and transport module 410 → sample carrying area 311 → sample scheduling and transport module 410 → main rail transport system 200;
[0114] Sample carrying area 311 →sample scheduling and transmission module 410 →first analysis system transmission device 320 →sample scheduling and transmission module 410 →main rail transmission system 200 .
[0115] For example, in one exemplary application scenario, the sample enters the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 via the main rail transmission system 200, enters the first analysis system transmission device 320 via the sample scheduling and transmission module 410, and is transmitted to the corresponding first sample analyzer 330 for detection via the first analysis system transmission device 320. The detected sample can return to the first analysis system transmission device 320, and then enter the main rail transmission system 200 via the first analysis system transmission device 320 and the main rail transmission system 200 in sequence. Of course, in other application scenarios, the sample detected by the first sample analyzer 330 can be directly transferred to a pre-set sample recovery position via the first analysis system transmission device 320, or transferred to the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 via the first analysis system transmission device 320, and the detected sample can be transferred from the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 to a recovery position set on the sample carrying area 311, etc.
[0116] exist Figure 5 In the third sample transmission path shown, Figure 5 The sample analysis system 300 shown can work independently of other parts of the full laboratory automation pipeline, or can work in conjunction with other parts of the full laboratory automation pipeline, or can work in parallel with other parts of the full laboratory automation pipeline. It has various working modes. When other parts of the full laboratory automation pipeline fail, the independent operation of the sample analysis system 300 is not affected. When the sample analysis system 300 fails, the normal operation of other parts of the full laboratory automation pipeline is not affected. The disaster recovery capability is strong.
[0117] It should be understood that the sample transmission paths shown in the above three examples are not exhaustive, and not every transmission path shown must be used. They can be flexibly adopted according to application requirements.
[0118] It should be understood that the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 of the sample analysis system 300 in this embodiment can adopt various structures that can achieve the sample scheduling requirements of this application. For ease of understanding, the structure of the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 is described below with examples.
[0119] In one embodiment, the sample scheduling and transport module 410 includes a first bidirectional transport track, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the main track transport system 200 and the first analysis system transport device 320, and the first bidirectional transport track is configured with at least one first sample transfer position adapted to the sample transfer module. For example, see Figure 2-1 to Figure 5As shown, the first bidirectional transfer track includes a first sub-track 411 and a second sub-track 412. The two ends of the first sub-track 411 are respectively connected to the first interface 401 and the fourth interface 404, while the two ends of the second sub-track 412 are respectively connected to the second interface 402 and the third interface 403. That is, the transfer direction of the first sub-track 411 is the direction in which the sample is transferred from the first analysis system transfer device 320 toward the main track transfer system 200, and the transfer direction of the second sub-track 412 is the direction in which the sample is transferred from the main track transfer system 200 toward the first analysis system transfer device 320. In this embodiment, the first analysis system transfer device 320 can also be a bidirectional transfer track, with the first sub-track 321 of the first analysis system transfer device 320 connected to the first interface 401, and the second sub-track 322 of the first analysis system transfer device 320 connected to the second interface 402. In some examples, a first sample transfer bit may be set on each of the first sub-track 411 and the second sub-track 412 , or the first sample transfer bit may be set only on the second sub-track 412 while no first sample transfer bit is set on the first sub-track 411 .
[0120] In this embodiment, the system loading device 310 includes a shell, and there are many ways to set up the first bidirectional transmission track. In one of the setting examples, one end of the first bidirectional transmission track is fixedly connected to the main rail transmission system 200, and the other end extends into the shell and is exposed based on the opening correspondingly set on the shell to dock with the first analysis system transmission device 320. At this time, the first bidirectional transmission track can be used as a part of the main rail transmission system 200, and the first bidirectional transmission track and its positioning mechanism supporting the sample transfer module can be uniformly provided, uniformly controlled and uniformly powered by the main rail transmission system 200. At this time, the first bidirectional transmission track and the main rail transmission system 200 can be set as one body or not. When the first bidirectional transmission track and the main rail transmission system 200 are not set as one body, the first bidirectional transmission track and the main rail transmission system 200 can be detachably connected, so that it is convenient to flexibly determine whether to configure the first bidirectional transmission track according to demand, which has good flexibility and can avoid configuration redundancy, thereby reducing costs and improving resource utilization. In another exemplary configuration, the first bidirectional transport track is fixed within a housing, with its ends exposed through corresponding openings in the housing to interface with the main rail transport system 200 and the first analysis system transport device 320, respectively. In this case, the first bidirectional transport track can be considered a part of the system loading device 310, both structurally and control-wise. In yet other implementations of this embodiment, when the first bidirectional transport track is fixed within the housing, the system loading device 310 further includes a first height adjustment module configured to adjust the height of the first bidirectional transport track. The height of the first bidirectional transport track refers to the distance of the first bidirectional transport track from the mounting surface (e.g., the ground). The first height adjustment module can be implemented using various height-adjustable structures. For example, steps can be provided at the location where the first bidirectional transport track is mounted on the system loading device 310, allowing the first bidirectional transport track to be adjusted by mounting it on different steps. Alternatively, the height of the first bidirectional transport track can be adjusted by adding or removing shims from the first bidirectional transport track. Of course, height adjustment mechanisms (e.g., screw mechanisms) can also be provided within the system loading device 310 to adjust the height of the first bidirectional transport track. These details are not further detailed here. In some application examples, the preferred way for the first bidirectional transmission track to be fixed in the shell is to be detachably installed in the shell, so as to facilitate determining whether the system loading device 310 is configured with a sample scheduling transmission module according to user needs, better meet the diverse needs of users, and avoid configuration redundancy, thereby reducing costs and improving resource utilization; illustratively, the setting position of the first bidirectional transmission track may include but is not limited to being fixed on the main body (such as a frame) of the system loading device 310.
[0121] In another embodiment, the sample scheduling and transport module includes a second bidirectional transport track adjacent to and docked with the main track transport system, a third bidirectional transport track adjacent to and docked with the first analysis system transport device, and a track switching module. The track switching module has at least one of the following functions:
[0122] converting the sample on the second bidirectional transmission track to the third bidirectional transmission track;
[0123] converting the samples on the third bidirectional transmission track to the second bidirectional transmission track;
[0124] transferring the sample between the first sub-track and the second sub-track of the second bidirectional transport track;
[0125] transferring samples between the first sub-track and the second sub-track of the third bidirectional transport track;
[0126] Among them, the above-mentioned second bidirectional transmission track is configured with at least one second sample transfer position adapted to the sample transfer module, and / or the above-mentioned third bidirectional transmission track is configured with at least one third sample transfer position adapted to the sample transfer module; the transmission directions of the first sub-track and the second sub-track of the second bidirectional transmission track are opposite; the transmission directions of the first sub-track and the second sub-track of the third bidirectional transmission track are opposite.
[0127] For example, see Figure 6As shown, the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 includes a second bidirectional transmission track 420 adjacent to and docked with the main rail transmission system 200, a third bidirectional transmission track 430 adjacent to and docked with the first analysis system transmission device 320, and a track change module 440 disposed between the second bidirectional transmission track 420 and the third bidirectional transmission track 430. The second bidirectional transmission track 420 and the third bidirectional transmission track 430 can operate independently of each other. The second bidirectional transmission track 420 docks with the main rail transmission system 200 to enable sample exchange, and the third bidirectional transmission track 430 docks with the first analysis system transmission device 320 to enable sample exchange. In this embodiment, the first sub-track 421 of the second bidirectional transmission track 420 docks with the fourth interface 404, and the second sub-track 422 of the second bidirectional transmission track 420 is connected to the third interface 403. In the second bidirectional transmission track 420, the transmission directions of the first sub-track 421 and the second sub-track 422 are opposite. Similarly, in this embodiment, the first sub-track 431 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430 is docked with the first interface 401, and the second sub-track 432 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430 is connected to the second interface 402. The first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430 have opposite transfer directions. The track switching module 440 can be used to transfer samples on the second bidirectional transfer track 420 to the third bidirectional transfer track 430, and / or transfer samples on the third bidirectional transfer track 430 to the second bidirectional transfer track 420, and / or transfer samples between the first sub-track 421 and the second sub-track 422 of the second bidirectional transfer track 420, and / or transfer samples between the first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430.
[0128] It should be understood that the track-changing module 440 in this embodiment can adopt various modules that can realize the above-mentioned track-changing function. For ease of understanding, several structural examples are used for explanation below.
[0129] Structural Example 1: The track-changing module includes a track-changing gripper, which is configured to grab and transfer samples on the second bidirectional transfer track 420 to the third bidirectional transfer track 430, and / or grab and transfer samples on the third bidirectional transfer track 430 to the second bidirectional transfer track 420, and / or grab and transfer samples between the first sub-track 421 and the second sub-track 422 of the second bidirectional transfer track 420, and / or transfer samples between the first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430. In this way, using the track-changing gripper, samples in the second bidirectional transfer track 420 can be transferred to the third bidirectional transfer track 430, and samples in the third bidirectional transfer track 430 can also be transferred to the second bidirectional transfer track 420, that is, samples in the first sub-track 431 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430 can be transferred to the first sub-track 421 of the second bidirectional transfer track 420, and samples in the second sub-track 422 of the second bidirectional transfer track 420 can be transferred to the second sub-track 432 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430. In addition, the track-changing gripper can be used to transfer samples between the first sub-track 421 and the second sub-track 422 of the second bidirectional transfer track 420, that is, to transfer the sample in the first sub-track 421 of the second bidirectional transfer track 420 to the second sub-track 422. Similarly, the track-changing gripper can be used to transfer samples between the first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430, that is, to transfer the sample in the second sub-track 432 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430 to the first sub-track 431. In this structural example, the sample transfer module can be implemented using a three-dimensional gripper that can move in three-dimensional space, and the above-mentioned track-changing gripper can be reused as a sample transfer module, which can not only simplify the structure and control of the system's sample loading device, but also reduce costs.
[0130] Structural Example 2: The two first sub-tracks of the second bidirectional transfer track 420 and the third bidirectional transfer track 430 are connected in sequence, and the two second sub-tracks are connected in sequence. In this case, the track switching module 440 includes a first switching member provided in the connection area between the second bidirectional transfer track 420 and the third bidirectional transfer track 430. The first switching member is used to transfer the sample between at least two sub-tracks of the first sub-track 421 and the second sub-track 422 of the second bidirectional transfer track 420 and the first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430. For example, see Figure 7As shown, the first switching member 441 is a first turntable 441 arranged in the connection area of the second bidirectional transfer track 420 and the third bidirectional transfer track 430. Two first connecting gaps 442 are relatively provided on the first turntable 441. When one of the first connecting gaps 442 is located between the first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432, the other first connecting gap 442 is located between the first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432. At this time, the first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432 are connected, and the first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432 are connected. The sample can be transferred between the first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432, as well as transferred between the first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432. Rotate the first turntable 441 so that one of the first connecting gaps 442 is located between the first sub-track 421 and the first sub-track 431, and the other first connecting gap is located between the second sub-track 422 and the second sub-track 432. At this time, the first sub-track 421 and the first sub-track 431 are connected, and the second sub-track 422 and the second sub-track 432 are connected. Samples can be transferred between the first sub-track 421 and the first sub-track 431, and samples can also be transferred between the second sub-track 422 and the second sub-track 432.
[0131] Structural Example 3: The track switching module 440 includes a fourth bidirectional transmission track 443 connected between the second bidirectional transmission track 420 and the third bidirectional transmission track 430, a second switching member 444 provided between the second bidirectional transmission track 420 and the fourth bidirectional transmission track 443, and a third switching member 445 provided between the fourth bidirectional transmission track 443 and the third bidirectional transmission track 430. For example, see Figure 8 As shown, the three first sub-tracks of the second bidirectional transfer track 420, the third bidirectional transfer track 430, and the fourth bidirectional transfer track 443 are connected in sequence, and the three second sub-tracks are connected in sequence. The second switching member 444 is used to switch the sample on the first sub-track 421 of the second bidirectional transfer track 420 to the second sub-track 422 of the second bidirectional transfer track 420, or to guide the sample on the first sub-track 421 of the second bidirectional transfer track 420 to the first sub-track 451 of the fourth bidirectional transfer track 443; the third switching member 445 is used to switch the sample on the second sub-track 432 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430 to the first sub-track 431 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430, or to guide the sample on the second sub-track 432 of the third bidirectional transfer track 430 to the second sub-track 452 of the fourth bidirectional transfer track 443. Specifically, as Figure 8As shown, the second switching element 444 is a second rotating disk 4441 having a second connecting notch 4442 defined therein. The third switching element 445 is a third rotating disk 4451 having a third connecting notch 4452 defined therein. By controlling the rotational positions of the second rotating disk 4441 and the third rotating disk 4451 in a coordinated manner, the first sub-track 421 and the second sub-track 422, the first sub-track 431 and the second sub-track 432, the first sub-track 421 and the first sub-track 431, and the second sub-track 422 and the second sub-track 432 can be connected. Further details will not be given here.
[0132] The specific fixing methods of the second bidirectional transmission track and the third bidirectional transmission track in this embodiment include but are not limited to the following examples:
[0133] Example 1 of a method for securing the third bidirectional transfer track 430: The system sample loading device 310 includes a housing, and the third bidirectional transfer track 430 is fixedly mounted within the housing, with one end exposed through a corresponding opening in the housing to dock with the first analysis system transfer device 320. The third bidirectional transfer track 430 is preferably secured within the housing in a removable manner, allowing for flexible configuration based on user needs to determine whether to add the third bidirectional transfer track 430 to the instrument and avoid configuration redundancy. The location of the third bidirectional transfer track 430 in this example may include, but is not limited to, being mounted on the main body (e.g., frame) of the system sample loading device 310. Optionally, in this example, the system sample loading device 310 also includes a third height adjustment module configured to adjust the height of the third bidirectional transfer track 430. The height of the third bidirectional transfer track 430 refers to the distance of the third bidirectional transfer track 430 from the mounting surface (e.g., the ground). The third height adjustment module can be implemented using various height-adjustable structures. For example, steps can be provided at the location where the third bidirectional transfer track 430 is mounted on the system loading device 310, and height adjustment can be achieved by mounting the third bidirectional transfer track 430 on different steps. Alternatively, the height of the third bidirectional transfer track 430 can be adjusted by adding or removing spacers. Of course, a height adjustment mechanism (such as a screw mechanism) can also be provided within the system loading device 310 to adjust the height of the third bidirectional transfer track 430. This will not be described in detail. Specifically, in a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the second bidirectional transfer track 420 and the third bidirectional transfer track 430 are both detachably fixed within the housing.
[0134] Example 1 of the fixing method of the second bidirectional transfer track 420: One end of the second bidirectional transfer track 420 is fixedly connected to the main rail transfer system 200, and the other end extends into the shell to dock with the third bidirectional transfer track 430. At this time, the second bidirectional transfer track 420 can be used as a part of the main rail transfer system 200, and the second bidirectional transfer track 420 and its positioning mechanism supporting the sample transfer module, etc. can be uniformly provided, uniformly controlled and uniformly powered by the main rail transfer system 200. At this time, the second bidirectional transfer track 420 and the main rail transfer system 200 can be set as one piece or not. When the second bidirectional transfer track 420 and the main rail transfer system 200 are not set as one piece, the second bidirectional transfer track 420 and the main rail transfer system 200 are detachably connected.
[0135] Example 2 of securing the second bidirectional transport track 420: The second bidirectional transport track 420 is fixed within the housing, with one end exposed through a corresponding opening in the housing to interface with the main rail transport system 200. In this case, the second bidirectional transport track 420 is now a part of the system loading device 310, both structurally and in terms of control.
[0136] Optionally, in Example 2 of the fixing method of the second bidirectional transfer track 420, the system loading device 310 further includes a second height adjustment module configured to adjust the height of the second bidirectional transfer track 420. The height of the second bidirectional transfer track 420 refers to the distance of the second bidirectional transfer track 420 relative to the mounting surface (e.g., the ground). The second height adjustment module can be implemented in various ways that can achieve height adjustment, such as providing steps at the location where the second bidirectional transfer track 420 is mounted on the system loading device 310, and achieving height adjustment by installing the second bidirectional transfer track 420 on different steps; in another way, the height of the second bidirectional transfer track 420 can also be adjusted by adding or removing gaskets; of course, a height adjustment mechanism (e.g., a screw thread mechanism) can also be provided in the system loading device 310 to adjust the height of the second bidirectional transfer track 420; details will not be given here.
[0137] like Figure 6 As shown, the second bidirectional transmission track 420 can be combined with the main track transmission system 200 to form Figure 3 The third bidirectional transfer track 430 and the first analysis system transfer device 320 can be combined to form a docking Figure 4 The second sample transfer path shown in FIG; the main rail transfer system 200, the second bidirectional transfer track 420, the third bidirectional transfer track 430, the first analysis system transfer device 320 can be combined to form a docking Figure 5 The third sample transmission path shown in .
[0138] It should be noted that Figure 6 In the example shown, the second bidirectional transport track 420 and the third bidirectional transport track 430 can operate independently, so that Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first sample transmission path and the second sample transmission path shown in the figure can be independent of each other. In a typical application scenario, the sample can be transmitted through Figure 6 The system loading device 310 shown is Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first sample transmission path and the second sample transmission path shown are respectively divided, that is, a part of the samples can be transferred to the main rail transmission system 200 through the first sample transmission path, and the other part of the samples can be transferred to the first analysis system transmission device 320 through the second sample transmission path; the two can be transmitted in parallel or non-parallel, thereby further enriching the scheduling and transmission paths of the samples and further improving the system throughput.
[0139] It should be understood that at least one of the shapes, structures and sizes of the first, second and third turntables in the above examples may be the same or different; and their shapes and structures are not limited to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in , other structures (such as a disc with a notch) can also be used as a replacement, which will not be described in detail here.
[0140] In some implementations of this embodiment, Figure 9 As shown, the system analysis device may also include a second sample analyzer 340 and a second analysis system transmission device 350 adapted to the second sample analyzer 340. The second analysis system transmission device 350 is arranged between the main rail transmission system 200 and the sample scheduling transmission module 410, and the sample scheduling transmission module 410 is docked with the main rail transmission system 200 through the second analysis system transmission device 350. In this embodiment, the second analysis system transmission device 350 can be regarded as an extension of the main rail transmission system 200 from the perspective of the transmission channel. In this embodiment, the system loading device 310 is arranged between the second sample analyzer 340 and the first sample analyzer 330, and the system loading device 310 can directly schedule the transmission of samples to at least one of the second sample analyzer 340 and the first sample analyzer 330, which can further enrich the sample scheduling transmission path and meet the needs of more application scenarios. And as long as the second analysis system transmission device 350 does not fail, the sample scheduling transmission module 410 can be formed with the second analysis system transmission device 350 and the main rail transmission system 200. Figure 3 The first transmission path is shown.
[0141] In some implementations of this embodiment, the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 and the first analysis system transmission device 320 are both configured to transmit samples in both directions. The samples are sequentially transmitted to the corresponding first sample analyzer 330 via the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 and the first analysis system transmission device 320 for analysis and processing, and then transmitted back to the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 via the first analysis system transmission device 320, and then transmitted back to the main rail transmission system 200 via the sample scheduling and transmission module 410, and uniformly transferred to the set sample recovery position by the main rail transmission system 200.
[0142] In some implementations of this embodiment, see Figure 10 As shown, the system analysis device includes at least two first sample analyzers 330 arranged in sequence. The first analysis system transmission device 320 includes first transmission track units 323, each corresponding to each first sample analyzer 330 and supporting bidirectional transmission. Each first transmission track unit 323 is connected in sequence. Except for the last first transmission track unit 323, each first transmission track unit 323 is equipped with a fourth switching element, which is used to switch the sample transmission direction between the two first transmission track units. Thus, in one application scenario: among the adjacent first sample analyzers 330 (A), the first transfer track unit 323 corresponding to the first sample analyzer 330 (A) that is closer to the system sample loading device 310 operates normally, and the first transfer track unit 323 corresponding to the first sample analyzer 330 (B) that is farther away from the system sample loading device 310 fails, then the first transfer track unit 323 corresponding to the first sample analyzer 330 (A) can also form a sample flow loop with the sample scheduling and transmission module 410, which can receive and process samples from the main track transmission system 200 and / or directly loaded from the system sample loading device 310. In another application scenario: if Figure 9 or Figure 10 As shown, if the first sample analyzer 330 (A) fails but its corresponding first transport track unit 323 is functioning normally, the first transport track units 323 corresponding to the first sample analyzer 330 (A) and the second sample analyzer 330 (B) form a sample circulation loop with the sample scheduling and transmission module 410, allowing the first sample analyzer 330 (B) and subsequent sample analyzers 330 to continue receiving and processing samples from the main track transport system 200 and / or directly loaded from the system sample loading device 310. This embodiment can further enhance the system's disaster recovery capabilities and improve system reliability.
[0143] In some implementations of this embodiment, see Figure 11As shown, the main rail transport system 200 includes multiple main rail units 210 each having a first main sub-rail and a second main sub-rail. The main rail units 210 also include a fifth reversing member for moving samples between the first and second main sub-rails. Each main rail unit 210 operates independently of one another, and the sample analysis system 300 interfaces with one of the main rail units 210. In this way, if a section of a main rail unit 210 fails, the unaffected pre-processing system 100, main rail units 210, and corresponding sample analysis systems 300 located upstream of the failed main rail unit 210 (the pre-processing system 100 being the upstream side) can still form a sample circulation loop and operate normally. Similarly, the unaffected main rail units 210 located downstream of the failed main rail unit 210 and their corresponding sample analysis systems 300 can still form a sample circulation loop and operate normally.
[0144] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned multiple sample transmission paths of the full laboratory automation pipeline can enable the full laboratory automation pipeline to set multiple operating modes according to needs, rather than having to passively switch paths only when a fault occurs. For example, in one example, when the full laboratory automation pipeline is normal as a whole and there are many samples to be tested in the current period, the above-mentioned third sample transmission path can be used to enable each sample analysis system 300 to meet the maximum throughput requirement; when it is currently relatively idle, the above-mentioned second sample transmission path can be used to only use a portion of the sample analysis systems 300 that meet the current testing needs (it can be controlled to use only one or two, depending on the needs), thereby achieving energy saving needs; that is, the full laboratory automation pipeline provided by this embodiment, due to its smaller granularity sample transmission circuit, can flexibly switch in the event of a fault to ensure that the non-faulty part can still work normally, thereby improving disaster prevention capabilities and system reliability; when no fault occurs, the appropriate operating mode can also be selected according to needs, which can both meet needs and save energy as much as possible.
[0145] In the present embodiment, the system sample loading 310 also includes a sample loading carrier, which is configured to load samples and can be transferred to the sample carrying area. For example, the sample loading and unloading carrier can be a movable carrier or an immovable fixed carrier. When the sample loading and unloading carrier is a movable carrier, the sample loading and unloading carrier loaded with the sample tube to be loaded is loaded into the sample carrying area, or the sample loading and unloading carrier loaded with the sample tube to be unloaded is unloaded from the sample carrying area; when the sample loading and unloading carrier is a fixed carrier fixed in the sample carrying area, the sample tube to be loaded is loaded into the sample loading and unloading carrier, or the sample tube to be unloaded is unloaded from the sample loading and unloading carrier. The sample loading and unloading carrier of the present embodiment is a tray, which is a movable carrier and can realize the loading and unloading of multiple samples at one time. There are various types of trays to load sample tubes with different diameters.
[0146] In one embodiment of this embodiment, the system sample loading device 310 further includes a drawer module, and the sample carrying area 311 is composed of or provided with at least one drawer module, wherein: the drawer can be a manual drawer that is manually pulled out or an electrically controlled electric drawer. In one example of this embodiment, the pulling direction of the drawer module is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the first analysis system transmission device 320, and the drawer module is located on two opposite or adjacent sides of the system sample loading device 310 on the side where the withdrawal port is located and on the side where the first analysis system transmission device 320 is located to avoid interference. In some application scenarios of this embodiment, the sample carrying area 311 includes at least one of a sample buffer area, an emergency sample carrying area, a retest sample carrying area, and an abnormal sample carrying area. The drawers can also be provided in multiple locations, and different drawers can load and unload different samples, that is, drawers can be used to load normal samples, emergency samples, retest samples, or abnormal samples. Specifically, abnormal samples include samples with incorrect sample type, no barcode, no barcode information, no test information, etc.
[0147] In one embodiment of the present embodiment, the system loading device 310 includes a sample loading carrier and a sample transfer carrier. The system loading device 310 also includes a first sample transfer carrier configured to carry samples for transmission in the sample scheduling and transmission module 410, and a second sample transfer carrier configured to carry samples for transmission in the first analysis system transmission device 320, that is, the sample transfer carrier includes a first sample transfer carrier configured to carry samples for transmission in the sample scheduling and transmission module 410, and a second sample transfer carrier configured to carry samples for transmission in the first analysis system transmission device 320. In this embodiment, at least two of the above sample loading carrier, the first sample transfer carrier, and the second sample transfer carrier are the same. For example, the first sample transfer carrier and the second sample transfer carrier can be set to be the same to achieve multiplexing, or the sample loading carrier, the first sample transfer carrier, and the second sample transfer carrier are all the same to achieve maximum multiplexing, simplifying the system architecture and the system control program; it can also be set as required so that the loading carrier is the same as any one of the first sample transfer carrier and the second sample transfer carrier. In other examples, at least two of the sample loading carrier, the first sample transfer carrier, and the second sample transfer carrier are different. For example, the first sample transfer carrier and the second sample transfer carrier may be different, or the sample loading carrier, the first sample transfer carrier, and the second sample transfer carrier may all be different, or the sample loading carrier may be different from one of the first sample transfer carrier and the second sample transfer carrier. In one example application scenario, the sample loading carrier may be a tray, a test tube rack, or a centrifuge adapter. The first sample transfer carrier and the second sample transfer carrier may be a single-tube test tube holder, a multi-tube (two or more) test tube holder, a test tube rack holder, or a centrifuge adapter.
[0148] In one implementation of this embodiment, the main rail transport system 200 also includes a third sample transport carrier configured to carry samples for transport on the main rail transport system. At least two of the above first sample transport carrier, second sample transport carrier, and third sample transport carrier are the same, or at least two are different. For example, in some examples, the first sample transport carrier, the second sample transport carrier, and the third sample transport carrier use the same sample transport carrier to achieve sample transport. For example, the sample transport carrier is a single-tube test tube holder that can only store one sample tube, that is, the main rail transport system 200, the sample scheduling and transmission module 410, and the first analysis system transmission device 320 all support single-tube transport carriers, and the single-tube transport carrier is used to carry one sample tube. Compared with the sample analysis system that uses multiple-tube transport carriers for transmission, the sample analysis system 300 that uses a single-tube transport carrier has the advantages of scheduling samples between multiple sample analyzers, and there is no problem of physical coupling between samples by sample transport carriers. It has the advantages of flexible and efficient sample scheduling such as sample testing, sample expediting, and sample call-out. In particular, both the main rail transport system 200 and the sample analysis system 300 utilize single-tube transport carriers to transport samples, further improving sample scheduling efficiency and helping to shorten sample turnover time. In this application scenario, the system loading device 310 can still utilize a sample loading and unloading carrier (placed in the sample holding area) capable of simultaneously accommodating multiple sample tubes, facilitating human-machine interaction for large-scale sample loading and unloading. When utilizing multiple-tube loading and unloading, for a single-tube sample analysis system, the system loading device 310 typically comprises a sample transfer module, a sample scheduling module, and a sample holding area 311 for holding samples to be tested and / or recovered. Specifically, the sample transfer module transfers the sample to be tested from the sample holding area to the sample transport carrier. The sample scheduling module dispatches the sample transport carrier to the first analysis system transport device 320, which then transfers the sample to the sample aspiration position of the first sample analyzer 330. Of course, in other embodiments, the sample transport carrier can also utilize a multi-tube transport carrier capable of holding at least two sample tubes, which will not be further described. In some other examples, at least two of the main rail transmission system 200, the sample scheduling transmission module 410 and the analysis system transmission device 320 may also respectively support different sample transmission carriers, such as the main rail transmission system 200 supports multi-tube transmission carriers, while the sample scheduling transmission module 410 and the analysis system transmission device 320 support single-tube transmission carriers, that is, the third sample transmission carrier adopts a multi-tube transmission carrier, and the first sample transmission carrier and the second sample transmission carrier adopt a single-tube transmission carrier; for example, the first sample transmission carrier, the second sample transmission carrier and the third sample transmission carrier are all different, or two of the first sample transmission carrier, the second sample transmission carrier and the third sample transmission carrier are the same and different from the remaining one; they will not be elaborated here.
[0149] It should be noted that in the related art, there is an additional single-tube transfer interface module set between the main rail transmission system and the analysis system transmission device. After the pre-treatment system transfers the sample through the sample transfer carrier and the main rail transmission system to the additionally set single-tube transfer interface module, the single-tube sample is transferred from the sample transfer carrier of the main rail transmission system to the sample transfer carrier of the sample analysis system through the single-tube transfer interface module for subsequent processing. In this related art, the samples to be tested are also loaded through the pre-treatment system and are all transferred to the sample analysis system via the main rail transmission system. Once any one of the pre-treatment system and the main rail transmission system fails, the entire laboratory automation pipeline will be paralyzed. There is also the technical problem to be solved by the background technology of this utility model. In addition, the additional single-tube transfer interface module in this related art increases the floor space and cost of the entire laboratory automation pipeline. The sample tube transfer module added by the single-tube transfer interface module also increases the risk of failure of the entire laboratory automation pipeline.
[0150] In one embodiment of this invention, each sample analysis system 300 is arranged on the same side of the main rail transport system 200, which reduces space usage and facilitates operation. Of course, it should be understood that each sample analysis system 300 can also be arranged on both sides of the main rail transport system 200. The overall layout can be in a straight line, L-shaped, square, herringbone shape, etc., and can be flexibly configured according to specific needs.
[0151] In one implementation of this embodiment, the main rail transport system 200 is further connected to a refrigeration device to control the temperature of the samples transported in the main rail transport system 200 .
[0152] In one embodiment of this invention, the system loading device further includes a first centrifugation module, which includes a first centrifuge and a first centrifuge adapter. The sample transfer module is further configured to at least one of the following: transfer at least a portion of the sample into the first centrifuge adapter; transfer the first centrifuge adapter into the first centrifuge; or transfer the first centrifuge adapter from the first centrifuge to the sample loading area 311 or to the sample scheduling and transfer module 410 as a first sample transfer carrier. In this way, samples requiring centrifugation can be centrifuged in the first centrifugation module without the need for a separate centrifuge or transfer to a pre-processing system, further improving the performance, compatibility, and sample processing efficiency of the system loading device.
[0153] In one embodiment of the present embodiment, the system loading device also includes a code reading module, which is arranged on the sample transfer module and moves with the sample transfer module. The code reading module is used to read the barcode information and at least one of the sample characteristic information of the sample when the sample transfer module transfers the sample. The sample characteristic information includes at least one of the sample volume, sample tube shape, sample tube cap color, sample tube cap shape, sample tube size, and sample color.
[0154] In one implementation of this embodiment, the system loading device also includes a panoramic vision module, which is configured to obtain a panoramic image of the sample carrying area 311, so as to facilitate sample analysis based on the panoramic image (for example, which positions have samples, whether the sample placement is abnormal, etc.), thereby improving the management and control effect of the sample injection stage.
[0155] In one implementation of this embodiment, the system loading device further includes a light source module, which is configured to illuminate a shooting area of at least one of the code reading module and the panoramic vision module to enhance recognition and / or shooting effects.
[0156] In one embodiment of the present embodiment, the system loading device further comprises a first capping module, which is configured to perform a capping operation on the tube cap of the sample. In one embodiment of the present embodiment, the pre-processing system comprises a second capping module, which is configured to perform a capping operation on the tube cap of the sample. Specifically, when the first capping module is not configured in the system loading device or the first capping module fails, the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 is configured to transfer the sample to the second capping module via the main rail transmission system 200 for capping processing.
[0157] In one embodiment of this embodiment, the pre-processing system includes a second centrifugal module. In some examples, the sample in the system loading device can be configured by the sample scheduling and transmission module 410 to transmit the sample to the second centrifugal module via the main track transmission system 200 for centrifugal treatment.
[0158] In this embodiment, the sample dispatching and transporting module 410 is connected to or aligned with at least one of the main rail transport system 200 and the first analysis system transport device 320. Connected means a channel exists between the two for sample transfer; aligned means the two are positioned in a corresponding manner, allowing samples to be transferred from one to the other. In this case, sample transfer between the two aligned devices can be achieved using various transfer modules (e.g., grippers).
[0159] In this embodiment, the sample analysis system 300 can be set up independently of the pre-processing system 100 and the main rail transmission system 200, that is, the sample analysis system 300 can be an independent product, and its specific implementation is the same as the specific implementation of the above-mentioned sample analysis system 300, which will not be repeated here.
[0160] In this embodiment, the system sample loading device 310 can be an independent product and can be flexibly configured when needed. The specific implementation of the system sample loading device 310 is the same as the specific implementation of the system sample loading device 310 described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0171] When a part not involving the second sample transmission path fails, the sample analysis system 300 is activated to perform sample loading and sample scheduling transmission and analysis; at this time, if other parts of the full laboratory automation pipeline can operate normally, it can work normally or not;
