Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for handling a sample tube by means of a Grain f adopted.
  • the invention further relates to an apparatus for handling a sample tube.
  • Generic methods and devices are often used to change sample tubes filled with samples in situ. This may be necessary, for example, when sample tubes filled with analyte are to be placed in an analyzer or when reformatting is required, which typically involves transferring the sample tubes from one fixture such as a carrier to another fixture of another type.
  • the invention relates to a method for handling a sample tube by means of a gripping device, comprising the steps of: determining (determining, detecting) a position, and / or an extent and / or spatial information of the sample tube and / or its holder in space, and
  • the position of the sample tube is first determined before starting to handle the sample tube. This allows unforeseen and / or unplanned changes in the position to be taken into account in comparison with a possibly predetermined or stored reference position.
  • the gripping device can grip precisely at a position at which a sample tube was detected. Delays or damage are effectively avoided in this way.
  • the gripping device is preferably controlled, and even more preferably automatically controlled electronically. This allows for easy implementation and programming as well as the provision of numerous functionalities, some of which are described below.
  • the position can be a coordinate in a one-dimensional, two-dimensional or three-dimensional coordinate system.
  • the number of dimensions to be considered is given by the technical conditions. If, for example, the gripping device can only be moved one-dimensionally, it suffices to specify a coordinate in a one-dimensional coordinate system. If the gripping device can be moved in two dimensions, for example by means of an XY positioner, two coordinates are required in a two-dimensional coordinate system. If the gripping device can be moved in three dimensions, for example by means of a robot arm, three coordinates in a three-dimensional coordinate system are generally required.
  • the gripping device may be a conventional design, for example in the form of a pair of pliers.
  • the gripping device is preferably designed such that they can grip the respective sample tube and change it in place.
  • the gripping device can also be designed completely differently, depending on how the respective sample tubes can be handled.
  • the gripping device may comprise a magnet or a negative pressure acted upon opening for sucking sample tubes.
  • the sample tube forms a liquid container that can be accommodated in a puck.
  • a puck is a disk which typically has a holder for a sample tube. This holder may for example be designed in the form of a depression, which is preferably formed centrally in the puck. In this recess then a sample tube can be inserted.
  • a puck can advantageously have a permanent magnet, which enables a method of pucking on a pad designed for this purpose by the application of magnetic fields.
  • the sample tubes are typically conventional sample tubes for the collection of liquids used in the medical or chemical field. They preferably have a closable opening.
  • the liquid container is preferably filled with liquid to be analyzed. These may be, for example, body fluid such as blood or urine. The method is thus preferably applicable for medical purposes. In the field of medical technology, analyzes often occur which are to be carried out successively for a large number of samples. In this case, the method according to the invention can significantly reduce the total processing time and avoid possible errors and delays.
  • the sample tube is changed in place and for this purpose preferably (also) raised.
  • This allows the movement of the sample tube to another location.
  • the sample tube can be removed from a rack.
  • it can then be stored again in another holding device or in the same holding device.
  • the process is preferably used for reformatting.
  • it is preferably used for displacing sample tubes which are mounted on a holding device of a first type and which are to be transferred to a holding device of a second type.
  • a group of sample tubes which are arranged on or in a specific holding device, which has been filled, for example, in a doctor's office, to be "reformatted" on another holding device, which is suitable for insertion into an analyzer.
  • a center point or an extension of the sample tube is determined with respect to one, two or three dimensions.
  • the recognition of a center is particularly advantageous in sample tubes which have a certain symmetry at least in one, two or three dimensions.
  • a center point in the form of a dot on an axis of symmetry of the sample tube, which is arranged at an upper end of the sample tube can be detected.
  • an external extent can also be recognized, which may be advantageous in particular if it is to be expected that sample tubes of different dimensions will be used.
  • the determined extent of the sample tube can be taken into account when gripping by the gripping device, which avoids damage, for example due to excessive force application with a thicker than assumed sample tube.
  • the number of dimensions to be considered depends, as already described above, on the respective circumstances.
  • an orientation of the sample tube for example, an orientation indicating axis
  • the gripping device can take into consideration deviating from the standard alignments. This can occur, for example, when sample tubes are stored obliquely in a holding device. In this case, the gripping device, for example, grab the sample tube also wrong and pull out accordingly. Even so, damage can be avoided.
  • the step of handling the sample tube is further preferably carried out as a function of the orientation of the sample tube.
  • the step of detecting the position of the sample tube is preferably performed using a stereo camera or a 3D camera. Not only can such cameras capture a common two-dimensional image, but they can also achieve spatial resolution. For this purpose, they are typically designed such that the images of two two-dimensional cameras are evaluated in parallel. Stereo cameras and 3D cameras are known in the art, so reference should be made in this regard to the relevant literature.
  • the step of recognizing the position is further carried out using a further camera, which is preferably a 2D camera and more preferably is mounted on the Grain f adopted.
  • This further camera can also be called a gripper camera.
  • the accuracy of gripping can be improved, in particular, in a position in which the gripping device is located immediately adjacent to a sample tube to be accommodated, this sample tube can be picked up again with improved accuracy from a short distance.
  • the gripping process can be further optimized. An erroneous gripping or damaging the sample tube will be even less likely.
  • the method further comprises a step of recognizing a free position in a holder or storage area for sample tubes, which is preferably carried out by the same means with which the step of determining the position is also performed. More preferably, a sample tube is subsequently deposited by the gripping device at the free position.
  • the step of detecting a free position may also be performed by (mechanical) scanning.
  • an image database is used, preferably for determining target coordinates.
  • typical images of sample tubes can be stored, so that a corresponding evaluation can be reliably and easily detected, whether such a sample tube is in a position in which it can be arranged, for example, due to the formation of a holding device used.
  • the image database may store images of states during a handling operation to store, for example, original layouts, etc.
  • the target coordinates can be used directly to control the gripper.
  • these may be coordinates, as described above.
  • the method further comprises a step of detecting a damage of the sample tube, which is preferably performed by the same means with which the step of determining the position is also performed, and further preferably, the step of handling the sample tube is performed in response thereto will determine if damage has been detected.
  • the existing means for detecting the position such as corresponding cameras, also be used to detect any damage to the sample tube in a timely manner. If a sample tube is damaged, for example, it may be provided that the gripping and lifting of such a sample tube is dispensed with. If, for example, a sample tube is damaged only at an upper edge, it can be prevented in this way that, by gripping by means of the gripping device, destruction of the sample tube is initiated, which would be associated with the loss of a liquid to be analyzed therein.
  • the method further comprises a step of depositing a sample tube at a position from which a sample tube has previously been lifted.
  • the gripping device used can thus expose itself to a position by moving a sample tube previously located at the corresponding position to another position. This can be used, for example, to force a particular arrangement or sorting of sample tubes in a holding device.
  • the invention further relates to a device for handling sample tubes, comprising - a gripping device,
  • an image capture device and - A control device for controlling the gripping device in response to signals generated by the image capture device.
  • the device according to the invention achieves the advantages already described with reference to the method according to the invention.
  • the variants of the individual components already described with reference to the method can be applied correspondingly to the device according to the invention.
  • the control device is preferably an electronic control device.
  • a processor preferably has processor means and memory means, wherein instructions are stored in the memory means, in the execution of which a method according to the invention is carried out by the processor means.
  • processor means preferably has processor means and memory means, wherein instructions are stored in the memory means, in the execution of which a method according to the invention is carried out by the processor means.
  • all variants of the method according to the invention described above can be applied accordingly. The advantages described in this connection are thus achieved by means of the device for handling sample tubes.
  • the image capture device preferably has a stereo camera or a 3D camera, which is preferably arranged spatially immutable. Further preferably, the image capture device further comprises a 2D camera, which is arranged on the gripping device and is moved with this.
  • the gripping device is preferably movable by means of an X-Y positioner. This allows easy travel in two dimensions, which is a suitable design for most typical applications in which samples are to be taken out of and returned to appropriate fixtures for analysis.

  • a controller of a gripper then accesses in dependence on the spatial information.
  • a 3D space measurement can be performed by means of a stereo camera.
  • the gripper also takes into account the orientation of tubes, the orientation of a tube does not have to correspond exactly to a given orientation. Rather, a tube may also go awry in a holding device For example, a rack stuck, as this is detected by a camera and compensated accordingly by the gripper.
  • an apparatus and method of a gripping mechanism for gripping a puck or sample tube which when gripped creates a 3D image of the room, the sample tube or the position and orientation of the sample tube from geometric data such as tube center and / or. or tube axis, is detected, which is then targeted and accessed based on these data.
