[0032] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical scheme of the utility model, the reagent online replacement scheduling device and the reagent analysis system of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] The utility model provides a kind of reagent online replacement scheduling device, in combination Figure 1 As shown in the figure, including reagent storage box 1, first line body 2, second line body 3, scheduling transfer mechanism 4 and the structure such as.Equipment reagent storage box 1 is used to refrigerate and preserve reagent bottle, reagent bottle placed in reagent storage box 1 is in the environment of low-temperature refrigeration, reagent storage box 1 plays the role of refrigerator.Reagent storage box 1 is internally provided with a plurality of placing positions for placing reagent bottle, reagent bottle can be directly placed in placing position, or reagent bottle is first placed in reagent bottle rack, then reagent bottle rack is placed in corresponding placing position.Reagent storage box 1 is internally provided with bottle transfer mechanism to transfer reagent bottle, bottle transfer mechanism can directly transfer reagent bottle, or together with reagent bottle rack is transferred, for the convenience of expression, in this paper, it is indicated and explained by transferring reagent bottle, including only single reagent bottle and reagent bottle rack two kinds of situation;It can also be in reagent storage box 1 for reagent bottle independently setting bottle transfer mechanism, for reagent bottle rack independently setting transfer mechanism, bottle transfer mechanism and transfer mechanism are independently set, each performs its own function.Bottle transfer mechanism can be driven by mechanical arm to realize the transfer operation of gripper, reagent bottle in reagent storage box 1 is conveyed outward or reagent bottle outside is transferred to the inside of reagent storage box 1 by the action of bottle transfer mechanism.The reagent bottle referred to in this paper can be full bottle (full reagent bottle, refers to the reagent bottle inside filled with reagent to be used) stored with reagent, or empty bottle (empty reagent bottle, refers to the reagent bottle after use) after reagent use is completed;Usually, bottle transfer mechanism conveys full bottle stored in reagent storage box 1 outward, and empty bottle outside is conveyed to reagent storage box 1.

[0034] First line body 2 is used to cooperate with bottle transfer mechanism in reagent storage box 1, bottle transfer mechanism is used to place reagent bottle to first line body 2 and take out reagent bottle from first line body 2, bottle transfer mechanism carries out two kinds of operations between first line body 2 and reagent storage box 1, bottle transfer mechanism removes full bottle reagent bottle from reagent storage box 1 and places it to first line body 2, and empty bottle is removed from first line body 2 and placed into reagent storage box 1.

[0035] The function of first line body 2 is to drive reagent bottle (including reagent bottle rack) displacement, first line body 2 can drive reagent bottle to move according to specific track path, usually, first line body 2 can be linear or curved track.First line body 2 can adopt the form of belt, roller, etc., which can drive reagent bottle (including reagent bottle rack) to move.First line body 2 can drive reagent bottle to move in two directions to realize the conveying of two directions of sending full bottle and recycling empty bottle.

[0036] The second line body 3 is arranged beside the analyzer 5, one end of the second line body 3 is connected with one end of the first line body 2, and is used for cooperating with the first line body 2 to transfer the reagent bottle. The second line body 3 can also drive the reagent bottle to transfer in two different directions, so as to realize the conveying in two directions of sending the full bottle and recycling the empty bottle. At the connection between the second line body 3 and the first line body 2, the full bottle is conveyed from the first line body 2 to the second line body 3, and the empty bottle is conveyed from the second line body 3 to the first line body 2. The second line body 3 can adopt a belt, a roller shaft or the like, and can drive the reagent bottle (including a reagent bottle rack) to move.

[0037] The scheduling and transferring mechanism 4 is arranged on the analyzer 5, and is used for cooperating with the second line body 3. The scheduling and transferring mechanism 4 can be integrated and arranged on the analyzer 5, or can be only placed on the analyzer 5. The scheduling and transferring mechanism 4 is located above the analyzer 5. The scheduling and transferring mechanism 4 can drive the reagent bottle to move reciprocally in two directions, and transfer the reagent bottle between the reagent replacement port 51 and the second line body 3. The scheduling and transferring mechanism 4 can grasp the full reagent bottle from the second line body 3 and place the full reagent bottle on the reagent replacement port 51 of the analyzer 5, and can take out the empty reagent bottle from the reagent replacement port 51. It is shown in combination with Figure 1 As shown in the figure, two reagent replacement ports 51 are arranged on one analyzer 5, Figure 1 In the middle, R1 and R2 respectively represent reagent storage positions. Each reagent storage position corresponds to one reagent replacement port 51. The number of reagent replacement ports 51 can be set according to the specific use, and the scheduling and transferring mechanism 4 can convey the reagent bottle to any reagent replacement port 51.

[0038] In operation, if there is an empty bottle in the reagent replacement port 51, the empty bottle is first taken out from the reagent replacement port 51 by the scheduling and transferring mechanism 4 and placed on the second line body 3. The second line body 3 drives the reagent bottle to move towards the first line body 2. The empty bottle moves to the first line body 2 and towards the reagent storage box 1. Finally, the empty bottle is placed into the reagent storage box 1 by the bottle moving mechanism in the reagent storage box 1. Then, the full bottle is placed into the reagent replacement port 51 by reverse operation, that is, the bottle moving mechanism takes the full bottle out from the reagent storage box 1 and places it on the first line body 2. The first line body 2 drives the full bottle to move towards the second line body 3. The second line body 3 drives the full bottle to move towards the scheduling and transferring mechanism 4. Finally, the scheduling and transferring mechanism 4 takes out the full bottle and places it in the reagent replacement port 51. If there is no empty bottle in the reagent replacement port 51, the full bottle can be directly placed into the reagent replacement port 51.

[0039] Different types of reagent bottles can be placed in the reagent storage box 1, and different types of reagents can be placed in the reagent storage box 1. According to the reagent use requirement of the analyzer 5, the corresponding type of reagent bottle is taken out from the reagent storage box 1, the reagent bottle is kept in the reagent storage box 1, and the reagent bottle is kept in the reagent storage box 1. The reagent bottle is placed in the analyzer 5, and the reagent in the reagent bottle is used up. After the reagent bottle is used up, the empty bottle can be moved out in the reverse direction and placed in the reagent storage box 1. The whole process is automatically executed, which effectively reduces the manual participation, liberates the manpower through the automatic operation, reduces the operator's burden, and reduces the labor cost. The reagent bottles placed in the reagent storage box 1 can be manually batch fed, or can be batch fed through automatic equipment, without manual feeding for each analyzer, thereby improving the operation efficiency.

[0040] On the basis of the above scheme, the utility model provides a preferred setting form here. The reagent storage box 1 is provided with a placing position for placing a reagent bottle rack, and the reagent bottle rack adopts a general specification and can be used universally in the whole system. The reagent bottle rack is used for placing a plurality of reagent bottles, and one reagent bottle rack can drive a plurality of reagent bottles to move synchronously. The bottle moving mechanism is used for grabbing and transferring the reagent bottle rack and then transferring the reagent bottle. By transferring the reagent bottle rack, a plurality of reagent bottles can be transferred at a time.

[0041] The reagent bottle rack can improve the transfer efficiency. When it is necessary to transfer the reagent bottle, the reagent bottle rack is taken out from the reagent storage box 1 as a whole, and a reserved space is reserved on the reagent bottle rack. Then, the reagent bottle rack is transferred to the second line body 3 through the first line body 2. On the second line body 3, the transfer mechanism 4 is scheduled to take the reagent bottle out of the reagent replacement port 51 and place it on the empty space of the empty reagent bottle rack. Then, the transfer mechanism 4 can place the full reagent bottle on the corresponding position. Through the setting of the reagent bottle rack, it is not necessary to transport the empty bottle from the analyzer 5 to the reagent storage box 1, and the efficiency is improved.

[0042] The utility model provides a specific structure form of the second line body 3 here. Figure 1 The second line body 3 includes a variable rail track 31, a line body conventional sampling track 32 and a line body return track 33. The three are arranged in parallel with each other, and the line body conventional sampling track 32 and the line body return track 33 can be arranged side by side. Figure 1 The right end of the variable rail track 31 is connected with the left end of the first line body 2, and the variable rail track 31 and the first line body 2 transmit the reagent bottle rack in the left-right direction (horizontal in space).

[0043] The utility model provides a specific structure form of the second line body 3 here. Figure 2The cooperation relationship between the pilot reagent storage box 1 and the second line body 3 on the right side can be known that the one end of the line body normal sample feeding track 32 can be connected with the first line body 2 to transfer the reagent bottle rack, or the one end of the line body return track 33 can be connected with the first line body 2 to transfer the reagent bottle rack, and the corresponding reagent bottle rack transfer can also be realized.

[0044] The variable track track 31 can be translated along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction to make the other end connected with the line body normal sample feeding track 32 or the line body return track 33 to transfer the reagent bottle, the bottom of the variable track track 31 is provided with a driving structure, and the position of the variable track track 31 can be changed, Figure 1 When the variable track track 31 can move up and down (move horizontally in space), the moving direction of the variable track track 31 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the variable track track 31 for driving the reagent bottle, the variable track track 31 can be connected with the normal sample feeding track 32 or the line body return track 33, and is used for transferring the reagent bottle between the normal sample feeding track 32 or the line body return track 33.

[0045] The scheduling transfer mechanism 4 can cooperate with the variable track track 31, cooperate with the line body normal sample feeding track 32 or cooperate with the line body return track 33, that is, the scheduling transfer mechanism 4 can take out the reagent bottle from the variable track track 31, the line body normal sample feeding track 32 or the line body return track 33 and put back the reagent bottle. Usually, the scheduling transfer mechanism 4 can transfer the reagent bottle with the variable track track 31, and the path of the reagent bottle transfer is reduced.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second line body 3 includes a line body emergency sample feeding track 34, the line body emergency sample feeding track 34 is used for conveying the sample to be detected in emergency, the line body emergency sample feeding track 34 is parallel to the line body normal sample feeding track 32 and the line body return track 33, and the line body emergency sample feeding track 34 is used for conveying the sample to be detected in emergency.

[0047] It should be noted that the line body emergency sample feeding track 34 can also be connected with the first line body 2, or the line body emergency sample feeding track 34 is connected with the variable track track 31, so that the transfer process of the reagent bottle is implemented.

[0048] The size of the reagent bottle rack is equal to the size of the sample rack width, the reagent bottle rack can be used for placing the reagent bottle, the sample rack can be used for placing the sample bottle, the same structure can be used for conveying the reagent bottle rack and conveying the sample rack, and therefore the first line body 2 and the second line body 3 can convey the sample rack and the reagent bottle rack.

[0049] Combined Figure 1 As shown, the scheduling transfer mechanism 4 of the utility model includes a scheduling transfer track 41 and a reagent bottle transfer gripper 42, the scheduling transfer track 41 is used for driving the reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 to transfer the reagent bottle between the variable track track 31 and the reagent replacement port 51, Figure 1When the middle transfer gripper 42 is driven by the scheduling transfer rail 41 to move in the up-down direction (horizontal movement in space), the reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 can move up and down, so as to place or take out the reagent bottle.

[0050] In an embodiment, the first line body 2 of the utility model comprises a variable line rail 21, which can be translated along a direction perpendicular to the rail conveying direction, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the conveying direction of the variable line rail 21 is along the left-right direction, and the moving direction of the variable line rail 21 is along the up-down direction. The variable line rail 21 plays a similar role as the variable rail track 31, which can change the structure of the docking by changing the position.

[0051] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, the reagent storage box 1 is provided with a recovery flow channel 11 and a recovery box 12, the reagent bottle returning into the reagent storage box 1 is sent to the recovery flow channel 11, and enters the recovery box 12 along the recovery flow channel 11, so as to realize the recovery of the reagent bottle and the bottle cap.

[0052] The reagent storage box 1 is provided with a code scanning mechanism, which is used for identifying the reagent type, and the reagent bottle can be placed in the corresponding position according to the code scanning result.

[0053] From the above introduction, for the case that one reagent storage box 1 is used in combination with one analyzer 5, the operation process is as follows:

[0054] 1) Empty reagent bottle recovery process:

[0055] Combined with Figure 1 When the reagent storage position R1 or the reagent storage position R2 in the analyzer 5 has an empty reagent bottle after the reagent is used up, and the empty reagent bottle is just located below the reagent replacement opening 51 of the R1 / R2 position, the scheduling transfer rail 41 of the scheduling transfer mechanism 4 drives the reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 to move above the reagent replacement opening 51 of the R1 position or the R2 position, the cover of the reagent replacement opening 51 of the R1 position or the R2 position is automatically opened, and the reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 enters the corresponding reagent replacement opening 51 to take out the empty bottle.

[0056] At the same time, the bottle moving mechanism moves the empty reagent bottle rack in the reagent storage box 1 to the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position of the first line body 2, the first line body 2 operates towards the analyzer 5, and sends the empty reagent bottle rack to the variable rail track 31 of the second line body 3, and stops when the empty reagent bottle rack moves to the line reagent bottle rack temporary storage position. At this time, the scheduling transfer mechanism 4 sends the empty reagent bottle to above the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position of the variable rail track 31, and the reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 lowers to put the empty reagent bottle into the empty reagent bottle rack.

[0057] Then, the track 10 moves towards the reagent storage box 1, and stops when the reagent bottle rack with empty reagent bottles is transported to the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position of the first line 2. The bottle transfer mechanism transfers the reagent bottle rack on the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position into the reagent storage box 1. According to the result of scanning the internal information code, the bottle transfer mechanism sends the empty reagent bottle to the top of the reagent bottle and cap recycling channel 11, and enters the reagent bottle and cap recycling box 12 through the recycling channel 11.

[0058] 2) Reagent replenishment procedure:

[0059] Generally, reagents can be replenished as long as the reagent storage box 1 is empty, the reagent storage position R1 or R2 in the analyzer 5 is empty, and the empty position is located below the reagent replacement port 51. Based on the missing reagent information, the bottle transfer mechanism inside the reagent storage box 1 will pick up the corresponding full reagent bottle and place it into the empty reagent bottle rack. The reagent bottle rack with reagents will be sent to the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position of the first line 2. The first line 2 rotates towards the analyzer 1, sending the reagent bottle rack onto the track changer 31. When the reagent bottle rack moves to the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position of the track changer 31, it stops. The reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 of the scheduling transfer mechanism 4 picks up the reagent bottle and transfers the full reagent bottle to the reagent replacement port 51 above the reagent storage position R1 or R2. The lid of the reagent replacement port 51 will automatically open, and the reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 will enter the corresponding reagent replacement port 51 and place the full reagent bottle into the corresponding position. The reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 will move out of the reagent storage position, and the lid of the reagent replacement port 51 will automatically close. At this time, the empty reagent bottle rack is sent back to the external reagent storage box 1, and the reagent replenishment is completed.

[0060] This invention also provides a reagent analysis system, including the aforementioned online reagent replacement and scheduling device. The system further includes an analyzer 5, which is equipped with a second feeder 3 and a scheduling and transfer mechanism 4. The analyzer 5, the second feeder 3, and the scheduling and transfer mechanism 4 can be integrated into a single unit. In a system with only one analyzer 5, the second feeder 3 of the analyzer 5 transfers reagent bottles with the first feeder 2, thus completing the aforementioned automatic reagent bottle transfer process.

[0061] At least one analyzer 5 should be provided. In a further embodiment of this utility model, at least two analyzers 5 are provided, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the second line 3 of each analyzer 5 directly transfers reagent bottles to the first line 2, or the second line 3 of one analyzer 5 transfers reagent bottles to the second line 3 of other analyzers 5. The reagent storage box 1, the first line 2, and the scheduling and transfer mechanism 4 can be freely combined and disassembled without modifying the structure of the analyzer 5, allowing for more flexible and free arrangement.

[0062] Combination Figure 2As shown in the figure, two analyzers 5 are arranged, and the two analyzers 5 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the reagent storage box 1. The second line body 3 of the two analyzers 5 directly transfers the reagent bottles with the first line body 2 arranged on the reagent storage box 1. Since the first line body 2 can transport reagent bottles in different directions, full bottles can be transported to the two analyzers 5 respectively, and empty bottles can be recovered.

[0063] In combination Figure 3 As shown in the figure, two analyzers 5 are arranged, and the two analyzers 5 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the reagent storage box 1. The second line body 3 of the two analyzers 5 directly transfers the reagent bottles with the first line body 2 arranged on the reagent storage box 1. Since the first line body 2 can transport reagent bottles in different directions, full bottles can be transported to the two analyzers 5 respectively, and empty bottles can be recovered.

[0064] The utility model is not limited to two analyzers 5, and more analyzers 5 can be arranged. The analyzers 5 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the reagent storage box 1, so that the automatic transfer of reagent bottles is realized.

[0065] The reagent replacement opening 51 of each analyzer 5 is provided with a cover that can be automatically opened and closed. The cover is automatically opened only when the reagent bottle needs to be replaced, and is kept closed during normal analysis and detection, so that the internal environment is kept clean.

[0066] For the case that one reagent storage box 1 is used in combination with multiple analyzers 5, the operation process is as follows:

[0067] 1) Online empty reagent bottle recovery process:

[0068] In combination Figure 2As shown, the empty reagent bottle in the analyzer 1 on the left is recovered in line with the single-machine process. When the empty reagent bottle in the analyzer 5 on the right is recovered, the empty reagent bottle rack needs to be transported to the right by the first line body 2 to the line emergency sample track 34 on the right, and then transported to the variable track 31 of the second line body 3 on the right by the line emergency sample track 34. The variable track 31 transports the empty reagent bottle rack to the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position and waits to receive the empty reagent bottle. After the empty reagent bottle in the analyzer 5 on the right is placed in the empty reagent bottle rack on the variable track 31 by the reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 of the scheduling transfer mechanism 4, the variable track 31 rotates to the left. The variable track 31 moves to the line return track 33 alignment position, and then the line return track 33 transports the reagent bottle rack to the variable track 21. After the variable track 21 of the first line body 2 aligns with the line return track 33 on the right, the line return track 33 transports the reagent bottle rack to the variable track 21. The variable track 21 moves to the left to the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position, and then translates back to the original position (aligns with the line emergency sample track 34). The transfer mechanism inside the reagent storage box 1 transfers the reagent bottle rack in the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position to the inside of the reagent storage box 1. The reagent bottle rack transferred to the inside is transferred by the internal bottle transfer mechanism to the recovery box 12 through the recovery channel 11.

[0069] 2) Online reagent replenishment process:

[0070] According to the information of the missing reagent, the bottle transfer mechanism inside the reagent storage box 1 places the corresponding full reagent bottle into the empty reagent bottle rack. The reagent bottle rack with the reagent is transported to the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position of the first line body 2. In combination with Figure 2 As shown, when the reagent needs to be supplemented to the analyzer 5 on the left, it is consistent with the single-machine process. When the reagent needs to be supplemented to the analyzer 5 on the right, the first line body 2 rotates to the right to the analyzer 5 on the right, and then transports the reagent bottle rack to the line emergency sample track 34 of the line 22 on the right. The line emergency sample track 34 continues to move to the right, and then transports the reagent bottle rack to the variable track 31 on the right. The variable track 31 rotates to the right, and then stops when the reagent bottle rack moves to the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position. The reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 of the scheduling transfer mechanism 4 grabs the reagent bottle and transfers it to above the reagent storage position R1 or R2. The cover of the reagent replacement port 51 corresponding to R1 or R2 automatically opens. The reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 enters the corresponding reagent replacement port 51, and then places the reagent bottle in the corresponding position. The reagent bottle transfer gripper 42 moves out of the reagent storage position, and then the cover of the reagent replacement port 51 automatically closes. At this time, the empty reagent bottle rack is transported back to the reagent storage box 1, and the reagent replenishment is completed.

[0071] It is worth noting that when the first line body 2 is running online, it needs to transport the sample rack for storing samples at the same time, and the sample rack and the reagent bottle rack adopt the same structure and specification to provide untested samples and recovered sample racks for the subsequent machines. Since the size of the reagent bottle rack is equal to the width of the sample rack, the first line body 2 and the second line body 3 can transport the sample rack and the reagent bottle rack.

[0072] The above transfer and transfer process takes the cooperation between the scheduling transfer mechanism 4 and the variable rail track 31 as an example, and can also cooperate with the line body conventional sample feeding track 32, the line body return track 33 and the line body emergency sample feeding track 34.

[0073] As shown in Figure 4 The reagent scheduling control unit (E) sends an empty reagent bottle grabbing instruction to the scheduling transfer mechanism 1 control unit (C1E), and when the empty reagent bottle runs to the reagent replacement port below, the reagent scheduling control unit (E) automatically opens the cover of the replacement port, and the scheduling transfer mechanism 1 control unit (C1E) grabs the empty reagent bottle.

[0074] When the reagent scheduling control unit (E) receives the signal of the analyzer lacking reagent, it sends an instruction to the external refrigerator reagent storage control unit (SE), and the reagent storage box sends the empty reagent bottle rack to the corresponding position in the first line body. The reagent scheduling control unit (E) sends an instruction to the sample management and reagent sample scheduling control unit (CE), and the line body control unit (TE) and the external refrigerator scheduling track control unit (BE) send action instructions to each module, and the empty reagent bottle rack is transported to the reagent bottle rack temporary storage position on the first line body. The reagent scheduling control unit (E) sends an instruction to the analyzer 1 control unit (M1E), and the scheduling transfer mechanism control unit (CE) places the empty reagent bottle in the line body reagent bottle rack temporary storage position. During reagent scheduling, each module cooperates with each other according to the instruction to complete the online replacement of reagent. The reagent storage box 1 is provided with a mobile code scanning device for determining the position of the type of reagent to be supplemented, recording the remaining amount of each reagent in the reagent storage box 1 in real time, and reasonably arranging the storage position of each type of reagent when reagent is supplemented.

[0075] The above description of disclosed embodiments enables one of ordinary skill in the art to make or use the application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the application. Thus, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
