[0001] This utility model, a detection device capable of sample processing, belongs to the field of medical equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the implementation of the national tiered medical service policy, the demand for fully automated sample processing systems in hospital laboratories is increasing. Current fully automated sample processing systems are inconvenient for human-computer interaction. Some instruments lack a display terminal in their hardware, requiring a computer for control and to display sample and consumable status. Other devices, while equipped with screens, often display complex information across multiple pages, and fail to provide clear information on consumable usage, sample loss, full load, and routine alarms from a distance. Medical staff often operate numerous instruments, frequently standing next to them, and the prevalence of enclosed structures in current laboratory equipment prevents external observation of internal information, leading to significant equipment malfunctions. Therefore, a testing device that can display instrument and sample information clearly from a distance or nearby is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

One side of the interface module is connected to the analyzer, providing a transfer interface for transporting samples to the analyzer. The front end of the transfer unit is connected to the low-temperature storage unit, where the transfer unit transfers and retrieves samples, and the low-temperature storage unit stores the transferred samples. The sample processing module comprises an input unit, a centrifugation unit, a capping unit, and a dispensing unit, all arranged at the same height and in sequence. Each input unit, centrifugation unit, capping unit, and dispensing unit includes a shell, a functional main body, and a frame.

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will now be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1-9 As shown, a detection device capable of sample processing can be used for loading, centrifuging, aliquoting, detection, unloading, and low-temperature storage of experimental samples, providing automated sample pre- and post-processing for the analyzer. It includes a sample processing module, a transport track 60, an interface module 50, an analyzer 120, a capping unit 70, an output unit 80, a transfer unit 90, a low-temperature storage unit 100, and an external display 130. One side of the sample processing unit is connected to the transport track 60, which is embeddedly connected to the interface module 50, capping unit 70, output unit 80, and transfer unit 90. The interface module 50, capping unit 70, output unit 80, and transfer unit 90 are spaced apart. The samples are distributed on the transport track 60, which is used for transporting samples within each unit. The output unit 80 is used for the recovery of samples that have been tested. One side of the interface module is connected to the analyzer 120. The interface module 50 provides a transfer interface for the analyzer 120, enabling samples to be transported to the analyzer 120 through the interface module 50. The capping unit 70 is used to cap the samples that have been tested in the analyzer 120 to prevent the tested samples from spilling into the detection device. The front end of the transfer unit 90 is connected to the low-temperature storage unit 100. The transfer unit 90 transfers and retrieves samples, and the low-temperature storage unit 100 stores the transferred samples.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the sample processing module includes an input unit 10, a centrifugation unit 20, a cap removal unit 30, and a dispensing unit 40, all arranged in a consistent and sequential manner. The input unit 10 is used to collect sample information and load samples in an orderly manner. The centrifugation unit 20 can be used for batch centrifugation of samples and evaluation of sample quality after centrifugation. The cap removal unit 30 is used to remove the caps from the samples and also for disinfecting the sample caps and adsorbing aerosols. The dispensing unit 40 is used to transfer a certain amount of sample from the mother tube to the daughter tube. The input unit 10, centrifugation unit 20, capping unit 30, and dispensing unit 40 each include an outer shell, a functional main body 111, and a frame 112. The functional main body 111 is located on the frame 112, which is located inside the outer shell and connected to it. The bottom of the frame 112 is equipped with universal weighing wheels for easy movement of the sample processing module. The outer shell forms four relatively independent spaces for the input unit 10, centrifugation unit 20, capping unit 30, and dispensing unit 40. The functional main body 111 is used to load samples and identify information in the input unit. This information includes the total sample volume, whether the sample is full, whether there are any erroneous samples that need to be processed, whether the sample barcode has been successfully scanned, reagent and consumable status, the amount of samples analyzed, critical values, and alarms. This information is displayed on the intelligent display terminal 140 for easy viewing by staff.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer casing includes a front partition, a left partition 104, a right partition 105, a rear partition 106, and a top partition 107. The front partition, left partition 104, right partition 105, rear partition 106, and top partition 107 are detachably connected to the frame 112. The front partition includes an upper partition 101, a middle partition 102, and a lower partition 103. The upper partition 101 is hinged to the frame 112, allowing it to open and close freely. The upper partition 101, middle partition 102, and lower partition 103 on the input unit 10, centrifugation unit 20, cap removal unit 30, and cup dispensing unit 40 respectively divide the front of each unit into three areas, facilitating partitioned operation and unit maintenance.

[0027] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a viewing window 1011 is provided on the upper partition 101, and the viewing window 1011 is made of transparent material. The sample processing status in each unit can be observed through the viewing window 1011. An LED light panel 1013 is provided above the viewing window 1011 and in the middle of the upper partition 101. A lampshade 1012 is provided in front of the LED light panel 1013. The LED light panel 1013 provides illumination, and the lampshade 1012 protects the LED light panel 1013 and prevents dust. Even in low light conditions, the illumination provided by the LED light panel 1013 allows for timely and accurate observation of the internal situation of the sample processing module. An audible alarm device 1014 is provided inside the upper partition 101 adjacent to the LED light panel 1013. The audible alarm device 1014 can be a buzzer. The LED light panel 1013, the sound source alarm device 1014, and the main functional unit 111 are all electrically connected. When the main functional unit 111 in each unit receives an alarm message, it will send instructions to the LED light panel 1013 and the sound source alarm device 1014. The LED light panel 1013 will display different colors according to the different instructions received, and the sound source alarm device 1014 will emit alarm sounds according to the different instructions received, so that the staff can more conveniently and intuitively understand the operation status and information status of the detection device.

[0028] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the front partitions of the input unit 10, centrifugation unit 20, decapping unit 30 and cup-dividing unit 40, which are arranged at the same height and connected in sequence, are all embedded with intelligent display terminals 140, and the screen of the intelligent display terminal 140 is an LCD screen. The upper end of the intelligent display terminal 140 is tilted inward to form a fixed tilt angle with its lower end, so that the staff can clearly see the content displayed on the intelligent display terminal when observing it from different directions. Moreover, the length of the intelligent display terminal 140 is the same as the length of the front partition, so there is enough display space on the same page of the intelligent display terminal 140 to display the required content without the need for close-range page turning operations, making the intelligent display terminal 140 more intelligent. Furthermore, the height of the intelligent display terminals 140 on the input unit 10, centrifugation unit 20, cap removal unit 30, and cup separating unit 40 is the same, all located on the same horizontal line. Thus, the four intelligent display terminals 140 form a large, elongated display terminal, which can meet the display needs of different multi-modules and allows the staff to intuitively observe the operating status of the detection device and the real-time information status of each unit from close or long distances.

[0029] The intelligent display terminal 140 can be installed on the upper partition 101, middle partition 102, or lower partition 103 of the front partition. The installation position of the intelligent display terminal 140 can be adjusted according to the observation needs of the staff, and is not limited to a fixed position on the front partition.

[0030] The input unit 10 is electrically connected to its intelligent display terminal 140; the centrifugation unit 20 is electrically connected to its intelligent display terminal 140; the lid removal unit 30 is electrically connected to its intelligent display terminal 140; and the cup dispensing unit 40 is electrically connected to its intelligent display terminal 140. For example... Figure 9 As shown, the external display 130 is electrically connected to the main functional unit 111 in a detachable manner. The external display 130 can be fixed to the upper middle part of the wall or the top of the detection device; the external display 130 is an LCD display. Because the external display 130 is electrically connected to the main functional unit 111, the instructions issued by the main functional units 111 of each unit and the content displayed on the intelligent display terminal 140 can all be synchronously displayed on the external display 130. Because the LCD screen is large, the content of the four intelligent display terminals 140 can be reasonably displayed on the same page of the external display 130, with a reasonable layout. Because it is fixed at a certain height, it is convenient for staff and users to view and obtain relevant information in a timely and accurate manner.

[0031] The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
