- the conventional automatic analysis system which consists of a belt conveyor line and an analysis unit, can be used in situations such as when the analysis unit breaks down or when the analysis unit cannot perform analysis due to insufficient reagents, etc., and the belt conveyor line is set to offline.
- a situation arises in which carriers cannot be transported from the analysis unit to the analysis unit. If this state is short, it does not become a big problem, but if it is prolonged, the carrier to be carried into the analysis unit stays on the belt conveying line for a long time. This stagnation of one carrier hinders the transportation of carriers positioned upstream, increases the number of carriers in congestion, and affects carriers loaded with specimens for which measurement has been completed in the analysis unit.
- this traffic jam also affects the dispensing location of the analysis unit, resulting in a decrease in analysis efficiency. Furthermore, if the stagnation of the carriers continues, the traffic jam will progress to the loading position of the analysis unit, and there is a possibility that it will progress to the left side of the belt transport section near the loading position of the automatic analysis system.

- the carrier 608 cannot be transported from the belt transport line to the analysis unit 605. This state is not a big problem if it is only for a short period of time. However, if this state is prolonged, the carrier 608 to be carried into the analysis unit 605 stays on the belt conveying line for a long time.

- Figures 1A and 1B show a configuration example of an automatic analysis system using the two-dimensional transfer line of this embodiment.
- An automatic analysis unit that performs biochemical and immunological tests is connected in parallel with the two-dimensional transport line, and sample samples are carried in mainly from the sample transport system and sample pretreatment system connected to the interface section 103 .
- emergency samples, quality control samples, calibration samples, and the like can be input from the sample input/storage unit 102 .
- Specimens to be input to the automatic analysis system are filled with samples such as blood and urine collected from patients and mounted on specimen carriers equipped with magnets.
- specimen identification information such as a one-dimensional barcode or two-dimensional barcode for identifying the patient, or an RFID tag with information for identifying the patient and specimen is attached to the container of the specimen sample. .
- the automatic analysis system reads the sample identification information with an attached reader, searches for request information for the corresponding sample at the management terminal 401 shown in FIG. If there is no request information, an inquiry is made to Laboratory Information System (LIS) 108, which is the host of the laboratory, to obtain inspection request information. Based on the request information received from the LIS 108, the management terminal 401 calculates which item is to be measured by which analysis unit, calculates the order in which the samples are to be transported to the analysis unit, creates destination information, and transports the samples. The line management unit 402 is notified. The transport line management unit 402 generates route information from the destination information.
- LIS Laboratory Information System
- the position of the carrier on the two-dimensional transfer line is grasped by the carrier detection means 4033 in the transfer line control unit 403, and it is confirmed whether or not there is an obstructive carrier on the transfer path.
- the detected information is also notified to the transport path management section 4021 via the carrier management section 4022 .
- the transport route management unit 4021 When the transport route management unit 4021 generates route information, it is conceivable to calculate another transport route without selecting a transport route that becomes an obstacle.
- there is a physical limit to the number of transport paths that can be created on a two-dimensional transport line and there is a possibility that the selection of another path will interfere with the transport of another carrier.
- a plurality of two-dimensional electromagnetic transfer lines 101 located behind the analysis unit 104 are connected.
- a position 201 with a carrier loaded with a test tube is indicated by a black circle, and a position 202 without a carrier is indicated by a white circle.
- the management terminal 401 plans to transport the carrier 205 to the position 203 or the position 204 based on the request information.
- Position 203 corresponds to the tail end of one of the left carrier groups (buffers) stagnant on the two-dimensional transport line connected to analysis unit 104, and position 204 corresponds to the tail end of another carrier group.
- management terminal 401 instructs carrier 205 to use path 212 as the last carrier group on the right, where the number of waiting carriers is small. An attempt to locate it in the tail would interfere with transport of the carrier 206 and could lead to delays in the results of urgent analyte measurements.
- the carrier 206 it is possible to transport the carrier 206 first and transport the carrier 205 after the carrier 206.
- the carrier 205 is on standby until the carrier 206 is transported, and the carriers 207 and 208 following the carrier 205 are also on standby. Since these waiting times lead to traffic jams, more samples can be carried into the automatic analysis system if the carriers 205, 207, and 208 are transported even a little. For the above reasons, the carrier may be stopped at the end of the buffer.
- the waiting time calculation unit 4024 of the transport line management unit 402 uses information detected by the carrier management unit 4022 to Based on this, the waiting time of the carrier at the end of the queue in which the carriers are stagnant is obtained from the number of stagnant carriers.
- the travel time calculation unit 4023 determines the distance from the starting point to the arrival point, which is the end of the line in which the carriers are stagnant.
- a moving speed of the carrier is calculated so as to move the carrier in time. Furthermore, by similarly changing the movement speed of subsequent carriers, the number of carriers that can be transported is increased without interfering with the movement of multiple carriers while avoiding stagnation of carriers and extension of stagnant carrier rows. can be made
- the transport path management unit 4021 confirms the state of the transport path and detects the presence of an obstacle carrier. If not, the carrier to be transported can be transported at full speed.
- the maximum speed is 0.5-1.0 m/s, which is the speed at which the test sample inside the test tube does not scatter or splash. The maximum speed may change depending on the transport surface, carrier material, and compatibility. If the normal transport speed is 0.5 m/s and the maximum speed is 1.0 m/s, the average transport time can be shortened by about 1.3 seconds. This shortened time corresponds to 75% of the moving distance of the two-dimensional electromagnetic transport tile when transported at the normal transport speed. It can be seen that there is also an advantage in increasing the speed in this way.
- FIG. 5 shows an example of the processing flow of the transport speed calculation unit 4032 of the transport line control unit 403 having the transport speed calculation unit 4032, the carrier detection means 4033, the carrier empty time calculation unit 4044, and the like.
- This processing flow is processed by the transfer line control unit 403, and the transfer route and waiting time are designated in advance.
- step 502 first, the conveying speed coefficient as an initial value is set to 1.0.
- step 503 the conveying route instructed by the conveying route management unit 4021 is confirmed, and the movement distance is calculated.
- the acceleration time and the deceleration time must be accelerations that do not scatter the specimen filled in the test tube as described above, so fixed time can be considered.
- step 505 it is determined whether or not the carrier can be transported in the transport section, that is, based on the information of the carrier detection means 4033, it is confirmed that there is no carrier up to the arrival point. In the unlikely event that a carrier exists on the transport path before reaching the arrival point, there is a method of setting the position in front of the carrier as the arrival point, and there is also a method of stopping the carrier on the spot. In the present embodiment, description will be given on the premise that the carrier buffer portion is conveyed to the tail end.
- step 505 when the carrier exists in the middle of the transport route, the process proceeds to step 506. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 505 that there is no carrier in the middle of the conveying route, the process proceeds to step 508 .
- step 506 in order to check whether there is any discrepancy from the information calculated by the waiting time calculation unit 4024, the carrier idle time calculation unit 4034 calculates the time until the position at the destination becomes available based on the latest information from the carrier detection unit 4033. Then, the idle time of the carrier explained with reference to FIG. 3 is calculated.
- Carrier idle time (Number of waiting carriers - 1) x (1 position travel time x 2) + 1 position travel time.
- step 508 the transfer speed coefficients obtained in steps 502 and 507 are used to determine the transfer speed, and in step 509, the two-dimensional electromagnetic transfer line 101 is instructed to drive the carrier. As a result, the carriers move by the time the rearmost position of the stagnant carrier group becomes vacant, so that the carriers can be conveyed without stopping.
- the maximum speed must be such that the sample filled in the test tube does not scatter. Therefore, if the conveying speed obtained in step 508 exceeds the maximum speed, it must be set to the maximum speed.
- Carriers 303, 304, and 305 shown in FIG. 3 are each ready for operation in 1.0 seconds. However, when the distance between carriers 303 and 304 is less than two positions, carrier 304 has a travel time of less than 1.0 seconds, eg, 0.8 seconds. However, in order to avoid collisions between carriers, the carrier 304 does not start moving until the position where the carrier 303, which is the destination position, becomes vacant. Therefore, the travel time calculation unit 4023 refers to the travel time of the moving carrier 303 and changes the speed of the carrier 304, thereby making it possible to avoid collisions between the carriers.
- the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and further includes various modifications.
- the above-described embodiments have been described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the described configurations.
- part of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment, and the configuration of another embodiment can be added to the configuration of one embodiment.

Abstract
Description
移動時間=加速時間+(搬送距離―加減速距離)÷速度+減速時間で求めることができる。ここで加速時間、減速時間は、先に説明した試験管に充填される検体試料の飛び散りのない加速度でなければならないため、固定時間を考えることができる。
搬送速度係数=(移動時間―加速・減速時間)/(キャリア空き時間―加速・減速時間)で搬送速度係数を求める。ステップ508では、ステップ502とステップ507で求めた搬送速度係数を使用し、搬送速度を決定すし、ステップ509で二次元電磁搬送ライン101にキャリアの駆動指示を行う。これにより、停滞するキャリア群の最後尾ポジションが空く時間までに、キャリアが移動するため、キャリアが停止することなく搬送することが可能となる。なお、搬送先ポジションのキャリアが空くまでの時間が、キャリアの移動時間より短い状況では、搬送速度を規定値より高速に移動させることが可能である。しかし、前述した通り、試験管に充填される検体試料の飛び散りがない最高速度である必要がある。そのため、ステップ508で求めた搬送速度が最高速度を上回った場合、最高速度にする必要がある。
