For example, both an application running on a computer and a computer may correspond to a part, module, device or system of the present specification.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a perspective view of an automatic blood vessel recognition and labeling processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a blood collection tube 11-13 is inserted through an input port 100 of an automatic blood vessel recognition and labeling processing apparatus 1000. The inserted blood vessel determines the adequacy of the blood vessel by being inputted by the command of the control unit 300 and the appropriate blood vessel is labeled with the corresponding health information or patient information and is discharged to the discharge port 200. [ In the case of a blood vessel that is not suitable, it may be discharged to the discharge port 200 without labeling.

The control unit 300 can control the overall operation of the configuration of the automated blood vessel recognition and labeling processing apparatus 1000. In FIG. 1, the control unit 300 is shown exposed to the outside of the apparatus 1000, but in another embodiment, the control unit 300 may be disposed inside or outside the apparatus 1000 as a kind of processor.

2 is a block diagram of the control unit 300 of the blood vessel recognition and labeling process automation apparatus 1000. As shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 2, the control unit 300 may include a blood vessel adequacy determination unit 310. The blood vessel adequacy determination unit 310 may include a sensor unit 311, a blood vessel type determination unit 312, and a blood vessel list comparison unit 313.

The blood vessel adequacy determination unit 310 can compare the blood vessel list with the blood vessel list that is required for the examination based on the blood vessel, the test information, and the patient information input through the input port, and determine the appropriateness of the inputted blood vessel. For example, when the necessary examinations (a1, a2, b1) are required for the patient A, the patient information is personal information for the patient A, and the examination information may be the examination contents a1, a2 and b1. Also, the blood vessel list required based on the above patient information and test information may be x1, x1, y1, for example. That is, two blood vessel types x1 must be inserted, and one y1 must be inserted. The above examples are for explanation of the invention, and the types and numbers of blood collection vessels are not limited thereto.

Therefore, when the examinee injects three blood vessels (x1) or types of blood vessels (z1), the third input blood vessel (x1) and the blood collection vessel (z1) must be filtered as an improper blood collection vessel. Therefore, the blood vessel adequacy determining unit 310 can determine whether the blood vessel information corresponding to the inputted blood vessel is present in the blood vessel list or the number is appropriate. The test information, the patient information, or the blood vessel list may be stored in a database (not shown), and the database may be disposed inside the apparatus 1000 or may be external. When the database exists externally, the device 1000 can communicate with the database via a communication module in a wired or wireless manner.

3 is a perspective view showing an internal configuration of an apparatus 1000 for automated blood vessel recognition and labeling processing. The labeling unit 400 may label the relevant inspection information or the patient information in the blood vessel after printing, if the blood vessel is properly inserted. As shown in FIG. 3, the labeling unit 400 can attach paper sheets to the side surface of the blood vessel while entering the inside of the apparatus 1000 through the input port, and can print test information or patient information on the paper sheets. As shown in FIG. 3, another labeling unit 401 may be further disposed to further label inspection information or patient information different from the labeling unit 400. The labeling unit 401 may label the patient information or the test information on an arbitrary clinical diagnostic sample requiring patient information such as a vile cup (urine), a blood pack, and test information in addition to a blood vessel .

The sensor unit 311 can sense the color or shape of the blood vessel while being input. For this, the sensor unit 311 may include, but is not limited to, a color sensor and a vision sensor. The sensor unit 311 can detect the color and shape of the blood vessel when the blood vessel is positioned in the sensing area where sensing is possible. For example, the sensor unit 311 may sense the overall color and shape of the blood collection tube, or may detect only the color or shape of the cap portion of the blood collection tube in another example.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the sensor unit 311 is shown on the left side of the moving means 110. FIG. In this case, the sensing area may be the left portion of the moving means 110. [ In FIG. 4A, the sensor unit 311 is shown as being located on the left side of the moving means, but this is merely an example, and the sensor unit 311 may be any position between the inlet 100 and the position where the labeling is processed.

The collection vessel type determination unit 312 can determine the type of collection vessel based on the detected color or shape. In order to discriminate the blood vessels, characteristic information according to the types of blood vessels may be stored in the database. The blood vessel type discriminating unit 312 can compare the characteristic information of the blood vessel with the characteristic information according to the type of the blood vessel stored in the database and discriminate the type of blood vessel inserted. For example, characteristic information such as a cap whose color is red and whose cap is hexagonal may be used.

The blood vessel list comparing unit 313 can compare the blood vessel list with the kind of blood vessel having been discriminated. When the blood vessel type discriminating unit 312 determines that the blood vessel type is x1, the blood vessel list comparing unit 313 can check whether the inputted blood vessel x1 is included in the blood vessel list.

4A and 4B are a left side view and a right side view of an apparatus 1000 for automated blood vessel recognition and labeling processing. 4A, an apparatus 1000 for collecting blood vessel recognition and labeling processing includes a moving means 110 for moving a blood vessel 11 inserted into an inlet 100 to a sensing area capable of being sensed by a sensor unit 311 . The moving means 110 may move each of the blood collecting bottles sequentially injected into the sensing region at a predetermined time interval. The sensing area may be any location between the inlet 1000 and the location labeled by the labeling part 400 as described above.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the moving unit 110 includes a plurality of receiving units 111 and 112 into which one blood collection tube can be inserted. In FIG. 4A, two receiving units 111 and 112 are shown, but this is only an example. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4A, the plurality of receiving units 111 and 112 may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body 110. FIG. The upper body 110 can be rotated to move the blood collection tubes one by one to the next position. For example, in FIG. 4A, the sensing region is a position between the receiving unit 111 and the receiving unit 112, and the sensor unit 311 can sense the color or shape of the blood vessel while the body 210 rotates.

Also, the rotational speed of the cylindrical body can be controlled so that the next blood collection tube is positioned in the detection area after the detection of the preceding blood collection vessel is completed. This rotational speed can be realized by the control unit 300. [

Figs. 5A and 5B are examples of various forms of the moving means 110. Fig. 5A and 5B, a receiving unit is configured so that the blood collecting tube 11 is inserted into the body 110 with a 90 degree difference. In FIG. 4A, the receiving units 111 and 112 are 180 degrees apart.

Referring to FIG. 5A, the moving means 110 rotates (for example, in the direction of r), and the blood vessels 11-13 are sequentially moved down by rotation. Referring to FIG. 5A, the sensor may detect a kind of blood vessel by generating a signal at a specific position (for example, the sensing area may be a sensing area) before the blood collection tube falls down. 5A, the blood collection tube 11 is recognized and moved to the next stage, and the blood collection tube 12 is receiving sensing information.

Referring to FIG. 5B, the moving means 110 may be a cylindrical mechanism provided with stoppers L1 and L2 which block the cross section. The latching membranes L1 and L2 are controlled to move in both directions so that the blood collection tube 11 and the blood collection tube 12 can be sequentially moved one by one to the next position. Referring to FIG. 5B, the controller 300 may control the speed at which the blood vessels are moved to the sensing area or the labeled area by controlling the time interval at which the locking films are moved.

As described above, since the time interval of the blood collection tube reaching the detection area is generated by the moving means 110 and the type of the blood collection tube is sequentially detected one by one by the moving means and it is judged whether or not it is proper, Can be prevented.

While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. However, it should be understood that such modifications are within the technical scope of the present invention.
