The sensor 200 is assembled on the top surface of the shell 100 and is in communication connection with the main control board. The number of the sensors 200 is the same as that of the sample cup placement positions and the positions correspond, and the sensing head of the sensor 200 faces the corresponding sample cup placement position. In use, the operator first enters the information of the sample cup through the code scanning gun 500, and then places the sample cup in the sample rack 001. The corresponding sensor 200 will give feedback, the placement position of the sample cup is recorded through the feedback of the sensor 200, and the position information and the sample information are displayed on the display screen 400 at the same time, that is, the matching of the sample information and the sample cup placement position is completed, and the problem that the sample information and the sample placement position are easily confused in the prior art is solved.

[0042] It should be noted that the display screen 400 is arranged on the front surface of the shell 100 and is used for displaying information.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the sample information entry device is applied to the sample rack 001 with two columns of sample cup placement positions, the workstations 110 are rectangular, and a plurality of sensors 200 are respectively located on the left side and the right side of the workstations 110. The plurality of sensors 200 located on the left side of the workstations 110 are taken as first sensors 210, and the plurality of sensors 200 located on the right side of the workstations 110 are taken as second sensors 220. The first sensors 210 and the second sensors 220 are respectively assembled on the top surface of the shell 100 through a first sensor fixing frame 230 and a second sensor fixing frame 240. The first sensor fixing frame 230 and the second sensor fixing frame 240 can more stably fix the first sensors 210 and the second sensors 220 on the top surface of the shell 100.

[0045] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first sensor fixing frame 230 has a cavity, and the first sensor 210 is assembled in the cavity.

The sensing heads of the first sensors 210 are directed to the sample cup placement positions corresponding to the first sensors 210 through the second through holes 250. The second sensor fixing frame 240 has the same structure as the first sensor fixing frame 230, and also has a cavity and through holes. The second sensor 220 is assembled in the cavity of the second sensor fixing frame 240, and the through holes correspond to the number and positions of the second sensors 220.

The first sensor fixing frame 230 and the second sensor fixing frame 240 are symmetrically arranged at the left and right sides of the work station 110.

The position deviation of the sample rack 001 may cause the first sensor 210 or the second sensor 220 to fail to accurately correspond to the sample placement position. By arranging the third sensor 300, the sample entry operation is performed after it is determined through the third sensor 300 that the sample rack 001 is placed in position, and the accuracy of the detection of the first sensor 210 and the second sensor 220 on the sample placement can be further ensured.
