[0030] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-7 A full -automatic sample static centrifugal system includes sample loading module 1 and static centrifugal module 2, and sample loading module 1 is the entrance of the whole system, is responsible for lifting the test tube to be centrifuged from the original container to the static centrifugal processing flow of the system. Static centrifugal module 2 is the processing unit of the system, is responsible for the test tube sent by sample loading module 1 to carry out static and centrifugal processing.

[0032] The static centrifugation module 2 comprises a grabbing mechanism 21 and a centrifuge 27, the grabbing mechanism 21 is used to move the samples between the sample placement area a and the centrifuge 27, and place the samples in the centrifuge 27, take out the samples in the centrifuge 27 and place them in the sample unloading area b, or transfer the empty adapter two 28 from the sample unloading area to the adapter temporary storage area a, etc. In this patent, six sample placement areas a are arranged inside the static centrifugation module 2, and the six sample placement areas a are randomly combined in pairs to form three sample placement area a groups. The first group is used to place samples with a remaining static time of less than ten minutes, the second group is used to place samples with a remaining static time of more than ten minutes and less than twenty minutes, and the third group is used to place samples with a remaining static time of more than twenty minutes. This ensures that samples that have completed static placement within the same time period are placed in the same adapter one 26, and once the static time is up, the entire adapter one 26 can be placed in the centrifuge 27 for centrifugation, which helps to reduce errors caused by differences in processing time, and also ensures that different types of samples can be fully static, improving centrifugation quality and improving the accuracy of test results.

[0033] An adapter one 26 is placed in each of the six sample placement areas a, and the adapter one 26 contains samples that have not been centrifuged. In addition, the grabbing mechanism 21 is a three-axis gantry robot.

[0034] The static centrifugation module 2 also has an adapter temporary storage area a and a sample unloading area b inside. The adapter temporary storage area a stores a number of adapter ones 26, and the sample unloading area b places a number of adapter twos 28, which contain samples that have completed centrifugation. The main function of the adapter temporary storage area a is to store and temporarily store the adapter one 26. These pre-centrifugation adapters will be neatly placed in this area before they are assigned to specific sample processing tasks, so that they can be taken at any time. The sample unloading area b is used to place the adapter two 28, which contains samples that have completed centrifugation. After centrifugation is completed, the adapter two 28 will be transferred to this area for subsequent sample processing.

[0035] The grabbing mechanism 21 includes two sets of independently lifted centrifuge adapter grabbing manipulators 211 and sample grabbing manipulator 212. The centrifuge adapter grabbing manipulators 211 are used to grab the adapter one 26 containing the un-centrifuged test tubes, put them into the centrifuge 27, take out the adapter two 28 containing the centrifuged test tubes from the centrifuge 27 and place them in the sample unloading area b, re-place the adapter two 28 in the adapter temporary storage area a, and place the adapter one 26 containing the test tubes with different standing times in the corresponding placement area. The sample grabbing manipulator 212 is used to clamp and place the centrifuged test tubes in the adapter two 28 into the conveying system or carrier 23. The sample carrier conveying line d is arranged in the standing centrifugation module 2, and the conveying system or carrier 23 is conveyed to the next stage through the sample carrier conveying line d for sorting.

[0036] The conveying system or carrier 23 can be a special test tube rack capable of containing a single or multiple samples, or a conveying line for conveying samples.

[0037] The sample loading module 1 includes a loading mechanism 11, and a transmission mechanism 12 is arranged above the loading mechanism 11. An inclined chute 13 is arranged at the end of the transmission mechanism 12. The loading mechanism 11 is used to lift a single test tube to the transmission mechanism 12, and the transmission mechanism 12 is used to convey the test tube to the inclined chute 13, and the test tube is arranged in the inclined chute 13 in a vertical state. During loading, each test tube has a loading time. The transmission mechanism 12 is located above the loading mechanism 11, and its main function is to stably convey the test tube lifted by the loading mechanism 11 to the inclined chute 13. When the test tube enters the inclined chute 13 from the transmission mechanism 12, the inclined chute 13 plays a role in arranging the test tube, making the test tube more orderly, and facilitating the subsequent lifting of the lifting mechanism 14 and the grabbing of the sample grabbing mechanism 22.

[0038] The sample loading module 1 further includes a rotating code scanning mechanism 15 arranged at the end of the inclined chute 13, which is used to rotate the test tube to scan the code on the test tube. The function of the rotating code scanning mechanism 15 is to scan the bar code, two-dimensional code or other types of identification code on the test tube. According to the scanned code information, the blood sampling time of the sample can be queried, and according to the blood sampling time and the required standing time of each test tube, the remaining standing time of the test tube can be calculated. The information read by these codes can be queried in the LIS system to obtain the identity information, experimental information or other important data of the test tube. By scanning these codes, the system can query and automatically obtain the relevant information of the test tube, providing data support for subsequent processing and sorting.

[0039] The loading module 1 also includes a jacking mechanism 14 at the end of the inclined slide 13, which is used to lift the test tube to a certain height. The main function of the jacking mechanism 14 is to lift the test tube at the end of the inclined slide 13 to a certain height, so that the upper half of the test tube is exposed from the inclined slide 13, which is convenient for the subsequent sample taking mechanism 22 of the static centrifugation module 2 to grab.

[0040] The static centrifugation module 2 also includes a sample taking mechanism 22, which includes a sample grabbing robot 221, which is used to grab the test tube on the inclined slide 13 and put it into the adapter 26. The sample grabbing robot 221 of the sample taking mechanism 22 puts the grabbed test tube into the adapter 26, realizing the automatic loading process of the test tube from the inclined slide 13 to the centrifugal processing before. The sample taking mechanism 22 is also provided with a rotating code scanning mechanism. In this patent, there are two positions that can be provided with a rotating code scanning mechanism 15, one on the loading module 1 and one on the sample grabbing robot 211. The rotating code scanning mechanism 15 is provided in at least one place to drive the test tube to rotate to scan the code on the test tube.

[0041] The static centrifugation module 2 also includes an NG sample output drawer 24 and an emergency loading test tube rack 25. The NG sample output drawer 24 is used to store and process samples that are judged as unqualified NG in the centrifugation process. By isolating and classifying unqualified samples in a special drawer, it can avoid mixing them with qualified samples, so as to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the subsequent processing process. The emergency loading test tube rack 25 provides a special loading position for test tubes that need to be processed urgently. When encountering emergency situations or samples that need to be processed quickly, these test tubes can quickly enter the centrifugal processing flow through the emergency loading test tube rack 25. By setting a special loading channel and processing flow for emergency samples, it can ensure that they are given priority in processing, thereby shortening the processing time and meeting the urgent needs.

[0042] Working principle: the test tube to be centrifuged is transmitted to the transmission mechanism 12 through the feeding mechanism 11, and each test tube has an upper sample time during feeding. From this time, the test tube starts to stand still. The transmission mechanism 12 gradually delivers the test tube to the inclined chute 13, so that the test tube is arranged in the inclined chute 13 in a vertical state. Subsequently, the rotating code scanning mechanism 15 scans and identifies the number of the test tube at the front end, so as to facilitate subsequent operation. After the code scanning is completed, the test tube is lifted upward to a certain height by the jacking mechanism 14, so as to facilitate the grabbing of the sample grabbing manipulator two 221 of the subsequent sample taking mechanism 22. After the code scanning by the rotating code scanning mechanism 15, each test tube has a code scanning time. At this time, the time remaining for the test tube to stand still can be obtained according to the time period between the time for each test tube to stand still and the upper sample time. According to the time remaining for the test tube to stand still, the test tube is inserted into the adapter one 26 of the corresponding sample placement area c. After waiting for the standing time to elapse, the centrifuge adapter grabbing manipulator 211 of the grabbing mechanism puts the adapter one pre-centrifugation test tube adapter 26 filled with the test tube that has completed standing still into the centrifuge 27 for centrifugation. In the present patent, there are six sample placement areas c, i.e. three pairs of sample placement areas c groups. When the adapter one pre-centrifugation test tube adapter 26 filled with the test tube is put into the centrifuge, the pre-centrifugation test tube adapter adapter one 26 of a group needs to be placed at the opposite position in the centrifuge 27. After the centrifugation is completed, the centrifuge adapter grabbing manipulator 211 of the grabbing mechanism 21 puts the adapter two post-centrifugation test tube adapter 28 in the centrifuge 27 into the sample unloading area b. The sample grabbing manipulator one 212 puts the sample in the adapter two post-centrifugation test tube adapter 28 in the sample unloading area b into the conveying system or carrier 23. The sample is conveyed to the subsequent module by the conveying system or carrier 23.
