[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 An embodiment of this application shows an automatic clinical microbiology test drug susceptibility test report generation device, which includes a housing 10 and a disinfection and sterilization component 30, a fixing component 20, and a measuring component 40 disposed within the housing 10.
[0026] The interior of the chamber 10 has a cavity 11, and one side wall has an openable or closable door. The cavity 11 is square so that the fixing component 20 and the measuring component 40 can be respectively placed in the middle of the bottom and top of the cavity 11. The petri dish can be easily put in or taken out by opening or closing the door.
[0027] The disinfection and sterilization component 30 is arranged on the side wall of the cavity 11. Before each measurement, the disinfection and sterilization component 30 is turned on to disinfect and sterilize the cavity 11, thereby avoiding cross-contamination of samples and laboratory contamination.
[0028] The fixing component 20 is arranged at the bottom of the cavity 11 and is used to clamp and fix the culture dish at the center of the bottom of the cavity 11.
[0029] The measuring component 40 is arranged at the top center of the cavity 11 and includes an image acquisition unit and an image processing unit. The image acquisition unit is used to acquire photos of the petri dish, and the image processing unit identifies the drug sensitivity label on the petri dish and measures the diameter of the inhibition zone inside the petri dish based on the photos.
[0030] In one embodiment, the image acquisition unit is an industrial camera. The industrial camera captures images of the petri dish to identify drug sensitivity labels at different inhibition zones on the petri dish, and calculates the diameter of the inhibition zones. This generates drug sensitivity labels within the petri dish corresponding to the diameter values of the inhibition zones. The drug sensitivity labels can be text or barcodes. The diameter calculation of the inhibition zones involves first locating the boundaries of the inhibition zones through edge detection, then fitting a circular region using Hough transform to calculate the diameter, and finally calculating the pixel ratio with a petri dish of known diameter to obtain an accurate diameter value for the inhibition zones. These are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0031] In one embodiment, the disinfection and sterilization component 30 is an ultraviolet lamp. A switch assembly is provided on the outer wall of the housing 10 to control the ultraviolet lamp to turn on or off, so as to disinfect and sterilize the cavity 11 at any time.
[0032] In one embodiment, a circular groove 12 is formed at the bottom of the cavity 11, and at least two sets of fixing components 20 are provided and are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the circular groove 12. The culture dish is clamped and fixed at the center position of the bottom of the cavity 11 by at least two sets of fixing components 20 so that the measuring component 40 can take pictures of the culture dish directly.
[0033] In one embodiment, the fixing assembly 20 includes a support member 21 and an elastic connector 22 connecting the support member 21 and the housing 10. The elastic connector 22 is arranged radially along the circular groove 12 to drive the support member 21 to reciprocate radially along the circular groove 12. The elastic connector 22 is a spring. The inner wall of the circular groove 12 is provided with a mounting hole. One end of the support member 21 is slidably connected to the mounting hole. The elastic connector 22 is sleeved on the support member 21 and its two ends are respectively connected and fixed to the side wall of the circular groove 12 and the support member 22. The elastic connector 22 moves radially and expands along the circular groove 12 to hold the petri dish at the center of the bottom of the cavity 11.
[0034] In one embodiment, the supporting member 21 has an arc-shaped supporting surface, which abuts against and fixes the culture dish to the side wall. By abutting against the side wall of the culture dish with the arc-shaped surface, the abutting surface between the supporting member 21 and the culture dish is increased, thereby improving the fixing effect on the culture dish and preventing the culture dish from shaking.
[0035] In one embodiment, the automatic generation device for clinical microbiology drug susceptibility test reports further includes an information storage module. The information storage module is signal-connected to the measurement component 40 and is used to store the test results of the petri dishes along with corresponding patient information. The information storage module also stores the drug susceptibility type labels within the petri dishes according to the diameter values of the corresponding inhibition zones, facilitating staff browsing or generating drug susceptibility test reports.
[0036] In one embodiment, the information storage module is a computer, which is connected to a barcode scanner. The barcode scanner is used to identify drug-sensitive patient information to facilitate verification of drug-sensitive patient information and to allow for manual input and modification as needed.
[0037] This application solves the problems of low efficiency and false alarms caused by manual measurement by setting a fixing component inside the chamber to fix the culture dish at the center of the bottom of the cavity, so that the measuring component at the top of the cavity can collect the drug sensitivity label on the culture dish and measure the diameter of the inhibition zone inside the culture dish. This improves the accuracy of drug sensitivity results. At the same time, the sterilization component inside the chamber effectively avoids cross-contamination of samples and laboratory contamination.
[0038] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0039] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
