The sample scanning unit 313 is configured to scan the samples in the scheduling module 300 to obtain sample information and send the sample information to the control device 400, where the manner of scanning the samples is explained above and is not described herein again. The sample information includes test items, the control device 400 controls the scheduling module 300 according to the test items, that is, the scheduling module 300 determines when the sample is scheduled to which first analysis module 100 according to the sample information, and the first analysis module 100 determines when to start which test item according to the sample information, and the test flow of one test item includes the following steps: a reagent adding step and a sample sucking step, wherein the reagent adding step comprises adding a reagent into a preset reaction container, and the sample sucking step comprises sucking a sample in the sample rack 1 dispatched to the sample sucking position 321 a.

The control device 400 is in signal connection with the first analysis module 100 and the scheduling module 300, and is used for controlling the first analysis module 100 and the scheduling module 300.

In order to achieve the purpose of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention reduces the time from the entry of the emergency sample into the system to the completion of the detection in multiple aspects since the start of the sample analysis system, which is described in detail below.

When the scheduling module 300 receives the emergency sample, the control device 400 controls the scheduling module 300 and the first analysis module 100 to be started simultaneously. For example, in some embodiments, the scheduling module 300 may further include a signal receiving unit 330, where the signal receiving unit 330 is configured to receive an input instruction of an emergency sample, and when the signal receiving unit 330 receives the input instruction, the control device 400 controls the scheduling module 300 and the first analysis module 100 to be simultaneously activated, and the input instruction may be input by touching a switch or a button of an entity, or may be input by touching or clicking a menu on a human-computer interaction interface.

The scheduling module 300 and the first analysis module 100, after being started, will each enter a pre-test preparation. In the above embodiment, the scheduling module 300 and the first analysis module 100 are controlled to start simultaneously, so that the preparation work of the scheduling module 300 and the preparation work of the first analysis module 100 are parallel, thereby reducing the time for the whole system to perform the preparation work.

Preparation of first analysis module 100 includes resetting the plurality of components for the test procedure to a test initial state, such as resetting sampling mechanism 110 to the test initial state, which may be a factory state or other set component positions and/or states. In some embodiments, the first analysis module 100 is configured to reset at least two components in parallel, so as to reduce the time for the first analysis module 100 to complete the preparation work, as a preferable scheme, during the reset process of the first analysis module 100, all components without motion association are reset in parallel, so called without motion association, at least including no interference between strokes and no same time sharing relationship between driving devices responsible for resetting the driving components.

In some embodiments, the control device 400 controls the first analysis module 100 and the scheduling module 300 such that the first analysis module 100 completes the preparation before the test procedure before the sample is scanned. On the basis, in some embodiments, when obtaining the sample information, the control device 400 controls the first analysis module 100 to start the test process, that is, the sample information is used as a "start switch" of the test process, so that the first analysis module 100 enters a state where the sample can be tested as soon as possible, and the waiting time of the sample rack 1 scheduled on the sample sucking position 321a of the test track 320 is reduced.

In other embodiments, after being scanned, the scheduling module 300 schedules the scanned sample rack 1 and the test flow of the first analysis module 100 are started simultaneously. To further reduce the time that the sample rack 1 stays on the blot site 321a, the scheduling module 300 and the first analysis module 100 may be configured to: when the scheduling module 300 schedules the sample rack 1 of the scanned sample to the sample sucking position 321a, the first analysis module 100 starts to perform the sample sucking step, that is, when the sample rack 1 moves to the sample sucking position 321a, the sampling mechanism 110 is sucking the sample, for example, a sampling member such as a sampling needle of the sampling mechanism 110 is suspended above the sample sucking position 321 a.

In some embodiments, in order to reduce the waiting time of the emergency sample, the first analysis module 100 first temporarily stops performing a new test item immediately, and then may adopt a different sample calling strategy according to the step to which the current test is performed: if the currently performed test item has completed the reagent adding step, in order to avoid the reagent in the reaction container from being wasted, after the test item corresponding to the reagent is completed, scheduling other sample racks 1 to make the emergency sample dispatch path to the suction position 321a, and then scheduling the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the suction position 321a, whereas if the currently performed test item has not completed the reagent adding step, directly scheduling other sample racks 1 to make the emergency sample dispatch path to the suction position 321a, and then scheduling the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the suction position 321 a.

In addition to the above embodiments, it is also one of the ways to improve the efficiency of sample analysis to reasonably distribute the testing order of the first analysis module 100.

In some embodiments, the number of first analysis modules 100 is at least two, for example, as shown in fig. 2, two first analysis modules 100 are sequentially placed along the test track 320. If the test project needs to be completed by at least two first analysis modules 100 together, the control device 400 controls the scheduling module 300 to schedule the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the first analysis module 100 that is close to the emergency sample, and then to schedule the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the first analysis module 100 that is far from the emergency sample, that is, the first analysis modules 100 are allocated according to the principle of near-to-far. In other embodiments, if the test items can be independently completed by one first analysis module 100, the control device 400 controls the scheduling module 300 to schedule the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to one first analysis module 100 of at least two first analysis modules 100 to complete all the test items, and preferably, the scheduling module 300 schedules the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the first analysis module 100 closest to the emergency sample to complete all the test items.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the sample analysis system may further include at least one second analysis module 200 in addition to the first analysis module 100, the second analysis module 200 may be similar in structure to the first analysis module 100, for example, also including the sampling mechanism 110, reagent tray 120, reaction tray 130, and assay device 140 of fig. 1. The second analysis module 200 is capable of performing at least one conventional test item. For the emergency sample, if the test items need to be completed by the first analysis module 100 and the second analysis module 200 together, the control scheduling module 300 schedules the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the first analysis module 100 to complete all the emergency test items, and then schedules the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the second analysis module 200 to complete all the conventional test items of the emergency sample, so as to complete all the test items. Generally, the emergency test items of the emergency samples are more than those of the conventional test items, so the emergency samples are first dispatched to the first analysis module 100 to complete the emergency test items.

In some embodiments, after the emergency sample is transported to the sample sucking position 321a, the first analysis module 100 performs a test item with a long reaction time first and then performs a test item with a short reaction time, thereby reducing the duration of the whole sample test.

After the sample is tested, the cleaning mechanism needs to clean the reaction container, and the cleaning of the reaction container comprises a plurality of steps, such as adding a cleaning solution, then discharging, adding clean water, cleaning and the like. To reduce the likelihood of contamination of the reaction vessels, the analytical instrument is typically prepared for cleaning after testing, for example, when the instrument is reset, the reaction vessels need to be cleaned again in preparation for receiving reagents and samples. In one embodiment of the invention, the cleaning process of the reaction vessel for emergency treatment is improved. The cleaning step of the reaction vessel for emergency treatment is divided into two parts, or two stages, most of the work in the cleaning step can be completed after the sample test is finished, and the rest work in the cleaning step is carried out until the emergency treatment sample is finished before the test, for example, the steps of cleaning with clear water and verifying whether the reaction vessel is cleaned are distributed to be carried out before the emergency treatment sample test, that is, the cleaning time of the reaction vessel before the emergency treatment sample test is shortened, and the time for preparing the reaction vessel before the emergency treatment sample is further shortened.

The present invention also provides a method for controlling a sample analysis system, which includes a first analysis module 100 and a scheduling module 300.

The first analysis module 100 is capable of performing at least one emergency test item, and the scheduling module 300 is configured to receive and schedule the sample rack 1. The first analysis module 100 and the scheduling module 300 in this embodiment may adopt the structure of the first analysis module 100 and the scheduling module 300 in any of the above embodiments, and may also adopt other types of analysis instruments and scheduling modules in the field. The first analysis module 100 and the scheduling module 300 of the above embodiments are described as examples in the following.

The control method of the sample analysis system comprises the following steps: when the scheduling module 300 receives an emergency sample, the control scheduling module 300 and the first analysis module 100 are started simultaneously.

The scheduling module 300 and the first analysis module 100, after being started, will each enter a pre-test preparation. By controlling the scheduling module 300 and the first analysis module 100 to be started simultaneously, the preparation work of the scheduling module 300 and the preparation work of the first analysis module 100 are parallel, so that the time for the whole system to carry out the preparation work is reduced.

Preparation of first analysis module 100 includes resetting the plurality of components for the test procedure to a test initial state, such as resetting sampling mechanism 110 to the test initial state, which may be a factory state or other set component positions and/or states. In some embodiments, the first analysis module 100 is configured to reset at least two components in parallel, so as to reduce the time for the first analysis module 100 to complete the preparation work, as a preferable scheme, during the reset process of the first analysis module 100, all components without motion association are reset in parallel, so called without motion association, at least including no interference between strokes and no same time sharing relationship between driving devices responsible for resetting the driving components.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the control method further includes:

and step 10, scanning the samples in the scheduling module 300 to obtain sample information. The sample information includes test items.

And 20, controlling the first analysis module 100 to start a test process when the sample information is obtained. That is to say, the sample information is used as a "start switch" of the test process to enable the first analysis module 100 to enter a state where the sample can be tested as soon as possible, so as to reduce the waiting time of the sample rack 1 in dispatching to the sample sucking position 321a of the test track 320

It will be readily appreciated that the first analysis module 100 and the scheduling module 300 may be controlled between steps 20 such that the first analysis module 100 completes the preparation before the test flow before the sample is scanned.

In other embodiments, after being scanned, the scheduling module 300 schedules the scanned sample rack 1 and the test flow of the first analysis module 100 are started simultaneously. In order to further reduce the time that the sample rack 1 stays on the sample sucking position 321a, the scheduling module 300 and the first analysis module 100 may be controlled such that when the scheduling module 300 schedules the sample rack 1 of the scanned sample to the sample sucking position 321a, the first analysis module 100 starts to perform the sample sucking step, for example, when the sample rack 1 moves to the sample sucking position 321a, the sampling mechanism 110 is about to suck the sample, and a sampling member such as a sampling needle of the sampling mechanism 110 is suspended above the sample sucking position 321 a.

And step 30, controlling the scheduling module 300 to schedule the emergency treatment samples based on the test items.

In some embodiments, the number of first analysis modules 100 is at least two, for example, as shown in fig. 2, two first analysis modules 100 are sequentially placed along the test track 320. The control scheduling module 300 based on the test item specifically includes:

for the emergency sample, if the test project needs to be completed by at least two first analysis modules 100, the control scheduling module 300 schedules the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the first analysis module 100 that is close to the emergency sample, and then schedules the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the first analysis module 100 that is far from the emergency sample, that is, the first analysis modules 100 are allocated according to the principle from near to far.

If the test items can be independently completed by one first analysis module 100, the control scheduling module 300 schedules the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to one first analysis module 100 of at least two first analysis modules 100 to complete all the test items. Preferably, the scheduling module 300 schedules the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the first analysis module 100 closest to the emergency sample to complete all the test items.

In some embodiments, the sample analysis system may further include at least one second analysis module 200 in addition to the first analysis module 100, and the second analysis module 200 may be similar in structure to the first analysis module 100. The second analysis module 200 is provided with the function of completing at least one conventional test item. The scheduling module 300 is controlled based on the test items, and specifically includes:

for the emergency sample, if the test items need to be completed by the first analysis module 100 and the second analysis module 200 together, the control scheduling module 300 schedules the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the first analysis module 100 to complete all the emergency test items, and then schedules the sample rack 1 of the emergency sample to the second analysis module 200 to complete all the conventional test items of the emergency sample, so as to complete all the test items. Generally, the emergency test items of the emergency samples are more than those of the conventional test items, so the emergency samples are first dispatched to the first analysis module 100 to complete the emergency test items.

It is easy to understand that, in the case that the sample analysis system further includes at least one second analysis module 200, if the test items of the emergency samples can be completed only by the first analysis module 100, the test items are scheduled according to the scheduling strategy described above when only the first analysis module 100 is needed.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of controlling the sample analysis system according to the control method. Upon receiving the input command, the first analysis module 100 and the scheduling module 300 start entering preparation work simultaneously, and both preparation works are completed before the sample is scanned. Once the sample scanning unit 313 scans the sample to obtain the sample information, the scheduling module starts to schedule the sample, and the first analysis module 100 starts the test process, and after the sample suction is completed, the scheduling module 300 then schedules the sample.

According to the embodiment, all stages from the start of the scheduling module and the first analysis module to the scheduling of the emergency sample to the first analysis module are comprehensively optimized, so that the sample detection and analysis time is shortened, and the sample analysis and detection efficiency is improved.

The present invention has been described in terms of specific examples, which are provided to aid understanding of the invention and are not intended to be limiting. For a person skilled in the art to which the invention pertains, several simple deductions, modifications or substitutions may be made according to the idea of the invention.
