Alternatively, the input conduit 114 is stationary and the sample holder 113 is rotated about the rotation axis L. As long as relative rotation of the input conduit 114 and the sample holder 113 is achieved.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a control system of biopsy device 100 in one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the control system comprises a processor 210, a position detector 230, and a drive mechanism 260, wherein the drive mechanism 260 is configured to drive the input conduit 114 or the sample holder 113 to rotate about the rotation axis L. In the present embodiment, the input conduit 114 rotates about the rotation axis L, taking the example that the sample holder 113 is fixed.
The position detector 230 is used to detect whether the trailing end of the input conduit 114 is aligned with the inlet 1133 of the chamber 1131 of the sample holder 113. By way of example, position detector 230 in this embodiment includes an infrared sensor 117 and an identification 1132, infrared sensor 117 being disposed on input conduit 114 (see FIG. 2) for rotation with input conduit 114 relative to inlet 1133. In other embodiments, the input conduit 114 is stationary and the sample holder 113 is rotated about the axis of rotation L, the identifier 1132 rotates with the sample holder 113 relative to the infrared sensor 117. The identification mark 1132 is provided on an end face of the first end portion of the sample holder 113 (see fig. 3). Preferably, an identification 1132 is provided on each side of the inlet 1133 of each chamber 1131. The infrared sensor 117 emits position detection light composed of infrared light to the sample holder 113, and the infrared sensor 117 detects first reflected light reflected by a target position on the sample holder 113 and second reflected light reflected by a reference position, compares an intensity difference or a ratio of the first reflected light and the second reflected light with a preset intensity difference or a preset intensity ratio, and determines whether the identification 1132 is detected, thereby determining whether the tail end of the input guide is aligned with the inlet of the current chamber or the previous chamber. In this embodiment, the preset intensity difference or the preset intensity ratio may be an intensity difference or a ratio of the first reflected light and the second reflected light when the infrared sensor 117 and the identification mark 1132 are aligned. The identification 1132 may be a black object that does not reflect light, or a mirror object that reflects light. If the identification mark 1132 is a black object that does not reflect light, after the infrared sensor 117 is incident on the target position, if no light is reflected back, the intensity difference or ratio of the first reflected light to the second reflected light is equal to the preset intensity difference or preset intensity ratio, it is determined that the infrared sensor 117 is aligned with the identification mark 1132, and if some or all of the light is reflected back, the intensity difference or ratio of the first reflected light to the second reflected light is greater than the preset intensity difference or preset intensity ratio, it is determined that the infrared sensor 117 is not aligned with the identification mark 1132, that is, the input conduit 114 is not aligned with the chamber 1131. If the identification mark 1132 is a full-reflective mirror, after the infrared sensor 117 is incident on the target position, when all light is reflected back, the intensity difference or ratio of the first reflected light to the second reflected light is equal to the preset intensity difference or preset intensity ratio, it is determined that the infrared sensor 117 is aligned with the identification mark 1132, when only part of light is reflected back or no light is reflected back, the intensity difference or ratio of the first reflected light to the second reflected light is smaller than the preset intensity difference or preset intensity ratio, it is determined that the infrared sensor 117 is not aligned with the identification mark 1132, that is, the input duct 114 is not aligned with the chamber 1131.
In another embodiment, position detector 230 includes an infrared sensor 117 and an identification tag 1132, with infrared sensor 117 being disposed on input conduit 114 (see FIG. 2) and rotating with input conduit 114 relative to inlet 1133. In other embodiments, the input conduit 114 is stationary and the sample holder 113 is rotated about the axis of rotation L, the identifier 1132 rotates with the sample holder 113 relative to the infrared sensor 117. The infrared sensor 117 is used to emit position detection light to the sample holder 113; and detecting first reflected light reflected by the target location on the sample holder; the intensity of the first reflected light is compared with a preset intensity, and it is determined whether the identification mark 1132 is detected, thereby determining whether the tail end of the input catheter is aligned with the inlet of the current chamber or the previous chamber. In this embodiment, the preset intensity may be the intensity of the first reflected light when the infrared sensor 117 and the identification mark 1132 are aligned. The identification 1132 may be a black object that does not reflect light, or a mirror object that reflects light. If the identification mark 1132 is a black object that does not reflect light, after the infrared sensor 117 is incident on the target position, if no light is reflected back, the intensity of the first reflected light is equal to the preset intensity, it is determined that the infrared sensor 117 is aligned with the identification mark 1132, and if some or all of the light is reflected back, the intensity of the first reflected light is greater than the preset intensity, it is determined that the infrared sensor 117 is not aligned with the identification mark 1132, that is, the input duct 114 is not aligned with the chamber 1131. If the identification mark 1132 is a full-reflective mirror, after the infrared sensor 117 reaches the target position, when all light is reflected back, the intensity of the first reflected light is equal to the preset intensity, it is determined that the infrared sensor 117 is aligned with the identification mark 1132, and when only part of the light is reflected back or no light is reflected back, the intensity of the first reflected light is smaller than the preset intensity, it is determined that the infrared sensor 117 is not aligned with the identification mark 1132, that is, the input duct 114 is not aligned with the chamber 1131.
The processor 210 is connected to the position detector 230 and the driving mechanism 260, and the processor 210 is configured to generate a control command through calculation according to the information collected by the position detector 230, and control the driving mechanism 260 to drive the input conduit 114 or the sample holder 113 to rotate.
In one embodiment, the position detector 230 detects whether the trailing end of the input conduit 114 is aligned with the inlet of the current chamber; if not, the processor 210 controls the driving mechanism 260 to drive the input conduit 114 or the sample holder 113 to rotate by a preset angle β in the opposite direction, so that the tail end of the input conduit 114 is located between the inlet of the current chamber and the inlet of the previous chamber of the current chamber; then, the processor 210 controls the driving mechanism 260 to drive the input conduit 114 or the sample holder 113 to continue to rotate in the reverse direction, and controls the position detector 230 to detect whether the tail end of the input conduit 114 is aligned with the inlet of the previous chamber, until the driving mechanism 260 stops driving the input conduit 114 or the sample holder 113 to rotate in the reverse direction when the tail end of the input conduit 114 is aligned with the inlet of the previous chamber; the processor 210 then controls the drive mechanism 260 to drive the input conduit 114 or sample holder 113 in a positive direction through an angle D1, where D1 is 360/N, where N is the total number of chambers in the sample holder 113.
Preferably, the position detector 230 detects whether the trailing end of the input conduit 114 is aligned with the inlet of the current chamber; if not, the processor 210 controls the driving mechanism 260 to drive the input conduit 114 or the sample holder 113 to rotate by a preset angle β in the opposite direction, so that the tail end of the input conduit 114 is located between the inlet of the current chamber and the inlet of the previous chamber of the current chamber; during the driving mechanism 260 driving the input conduit 114 or the sample holder 113 to rotate in the reverse direction by the preset angle β, the processor 210 also controls the position detector 230 to detect whether the tail end of the input conduit 114 is aligned with the inlet of the current chamber; if the position detector 230 has detected the entrance of the current chamber before the rotation angle reaches the preset angle β, the processor 210 controls the driving mechanism 260 to stop driving the input conduit 114 or the sample holder 113 to rotate in the reverse direction when the position detector 230 detects that the tail end of the input conduit 114 is aligned with the entrance of the current chamber; if the position detector 230 does not detect the inlet of the current chamber when the rotation angle reaches the preset angle β, the processor 210 controls the driving mechanism 260 to drive the input conduit 114 or the sample holder 113 to continue to rotate in the reverse direction, and simultaneously the processor 210 controls the position detector 230 to detect whether the tail end of the input conduit 114 is aligned with the inlet of the previous chamber, until the tail end of the input conduit 114 is aligned with the inlet of the previous chamber, the processor 210 controls the driving mechanism 260 to stop driving the input conduit 114 or the sample holder 113 to rotate in the reverse direction; the processor 210 controls the drive mechanism 260 to drive the input conduit 114 or the sample holder 113 in a positive direction through an angle D1, where D1 is 360/N, where N is the total number of chambers in the sample holder 113.
Fig. 5 is a flow chart of a chamber alignment calibration method of a sample holder in one embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 5, the chamber alignment calibration method of the sample holder includes the following steps:
step 310: it is detected whether the trailing end of the input conduit is aligned with the inlet of the current chamber.
Step 320: if not, controlling the input conduit or the sample holder to rotate by a preset angle beta in the opposite direction, so that the tail end of the input conduit is positioned between the inlet of the current chamber and the inlet of the last chamber of the current chamber.
As an example, as shown in fig. 6, 7, if the total number of chambers of the sample holder is 6, K1 is the current chamber, K3 is the target chamber, the input conduit rotates in the positive direction (assumed to be counterclockwise) from chamber K1 to K3, the input conduit 114 is misaligned with the inlet 1133 of chamber 1131 with two possibilities: the first possibility is that the input duct 114 is over-rotated (as shown in fig. 6) and the infrared sensor 117 hits in position b when the identification mark a of the chamber K3 is aligned. A second possibility is that the input catheter 114 is not rotating enough (as shown in fig. 7) and the infrared sensor 117 hits the e position when the id a of the chamber K3 is aligned.
The preset angle β may be an empirical value, and is determined according to an error of the driving mechanism 260 and an angle between two adjacent chambers 1131, that is, the preset angle β is larger than the error and smaller than an angle between two adjacent chambers 1131, that is, a rotation error value < β <360/N, for example, the preset angle β is half of the angle between two chambers, that is, β ═ 360/2N. Thus, when the first possibility occurs, the infrared sensor 117 hits the c position between the chamber K2 and the chamber K3 (as shown in fig. 6) when the input duct 114 is rotated in the reverse direction (assumed to be clockwise) by the preset angle β. When the second possibility is present, the infrared sensor 117 hits in the d position between the chamber K2 and the chamber K3 (as shown in fig. 7) when the input duct 114 is rotated in the reverse direction (assumed to be clockwise) by the preset angle β. That is, whether the input conduit 114 is over-rotated or under-rotated, when the input conduit 114 is rotated in the reverse direction by the predetermined angle β, between the chamber K2 and the chamber K3, the biopsy device 100 controls the input conduit 114 to continue to rotate in the reverse direction until the input conduit 114 is aligned with the inlet 1133 of the chamber 1131, and the tail end of the input conduit 114 is aligned with the inlet 1133 of the chamber K2.
Step 330: controlling the input conduit to continue rotating in the reverse direction, and simultaneously detecting whether the tail end of the input conduit is aligned with the inlet of the last chamber or not, until the tail end of the input conduit is aligned with the inlet of the last chamber of the current chamber, stopping rotating; the input catheter or sample holder is controlled to rotate in the positive direction through an angle D1, D1 being 360/N, N being the total number of chambers in the sample holder.
