Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical detection, and in particular to a cleaning device and a chemiluminescent immunoassay analyzer. Background Art

[0002] Chemiluminescent immunoassay is an instrument that uses chemiluminescent immunoassay technology and reaction principles to qualitatively or quantitatively detect analytes in human serum, plasma or other body fluid samples. It is used to assist in the diagnosis of related diseases. The effective separation of immune complexes is a key step in immunoassays, and the separation effect will affect the results of immunoassays. At present, in immunoassays that use magnetic beads as reaction carriers, the separation of immune complexes mainly adopts magnetic separation. The magnetic separation method uses immune magnetic beads that have both easy magnetization and specific binding ability to specifically bind to the target substance, and then uses an external magnetic field to retain the reactants (immune complexes) bound to the magnetic beads and separate the excess reactants and reagents.

[0003] The existing cleaning device of the chemiluminescent immunoassay analyzer generally includes a reaction cup conveying component, a cleaning needle component, a magnet component and at least two cleaning positions. The magnet component includes a magnet fixedly arranged corresponding to each liquid aspiration cleaning position. The magnet can adsorb the magnetic beads in the reaction cup to the bottom of the reaction cup. The liquid aspiration needle in the cleaning needle component absorbs the excess reactants and reagents in the cup. The reaction cup conveying component conveys the reaction cup to the next cleaning position, and then the washing liquid is injected into the reaction cup through the injection needle for washing. The above-mentioned cleaning device has a poor washing and separation effect on the immune complex. In order to achieve a better washing and separation effect, some of the existing cleaning devices will be fixedly provided with magnets on both sides of the reaction cup conveying path. When the reaction cup changes the cleaning position, the magnetic beads move from one wall of the reaction cup to the wall opposite to the wall to facilitate the cleaning of the magnetic beads. However, the time for the magnetic beads to move from one wall of the reaction cup to the wall opposite to the wall is relatively long, which greatly affects the work efficiency.

[0036] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0037] According to the first embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A cleaning device includes a frame 100, a conveying mechanism 200, a cleaning needle mechanism 300 and a magnet mechanism 400. The frame 100 is provided with a liquid aspiration station and a liquid injection station; the conveying mechanism 200 is arranged on the frame 100, and the conveying mechanism 200 includes a turntable 210 and a first driving assembly 220 capable of driving the turntable 210. The turntable 210 is provided with a cup placement hole 211 for placing a reaction cup 1. The conveying mechanism 200 can transport the reaction cup 1 placed in the cup placement hole 211 to different stations, and the turntable 210 can move to the first driving assembly 220. The cleaning needle mechanism 300 is arranged on the frame 100 and corresponds to the liquid aspiration station and the liquid injection station. The cleaning needle mechanism 300 can absorb waste liquid from the reaction cup 1 and can inject cleaning liquid into the reaction cup 1; the magnet mechanism 400 is arranged on the frame 100 and distributed on at least one side of the running path of the reaction cup 1. The magnet mechanism 400 includes at least one active magnet assembly 410 arranged corresponding to the liquid aspiration station. The active magnet assembly 410 can absorb the immune complex in the reaction cup 1 and can drive the immune complex to move upward.

[0038] By providing a movable magnet assembly 410 and a reciprocating turntable 210, when washing and separating the immune complex, the turntable 210 rotates to transport the reaction cup 1 to the liquid aspiration station, the movable magnet assembly 410 adsorbs the immune complex in the reaction cup 1 to the bottom of the cup wall and drives it to move upward so that it is at a preset height from the bottom of the cup, the cleaning needle mechanism 300 absorbs waste liquid from the reaction cup 1, and the immune complex adsorbed on the cup wall can avoid being affected by the cleaning needle mechanism. After the cleaning needle mechanism 300 completes the waste liquid absorption, the transport mechanism 200 transports the reaction cup 1 to the liquid injection station, and the cleaning needle mechanism 300 injects cleaning liquid into the reaction cup 1. Then the turntable 210 reciprocates, so that the immune complex adsorbed on the cup wall is shaken and dispersed, which facilitates the immune complex and the injected cleaning liquid to be fully mixed for cleaning, so that the immune complex in the reaction cup 1 obtains a better cleaning effect and achieves a better washing and separation effect; at the same time, it can reduce the washing and separation time of the immune complex, thereby improving the working efficiency of the present invention.

[0039] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, eleven cup placement holes 211 are provided on the turntable 210 and are evenly spaced along the circumference of the turntable 210. The reaction cup 1 passes through the cup placement holes 211 and is clamped and placed on the turntable 210. The first driving component 220 drives the turntable 210 to rotate so that the reaction cup 1 placed thereon can be transported to the liquid aspiration station and the liquid injection station; when the reaction cup 1 is sent to the liquid aspiration station, the active magnet component 410 adsorbs the immune complex in the reaction cup 1 on the cup wall of the reaction cup 1 and drives it to move upward to a position at a preset height from the bottom of the cup, and the cleaning needle mechanism 300 is activated to absorb waste liquid from the reaction cup 1 at this station. The active magnet component 410 adsorbs the immune complex and retains it on the cup wall of the reaction cup 1 to separate it from the waste liquid, and at the same time can prevent the cleaning needle mechanism 300 from extending into the cup bottom of the reaction cup 1 to absorb liquid. The immune complex in the cup is affected, and then the cleaning needle mechanism 300 completes the waste liquid absorption and leaves the reaction cup 1. The conveying mechanism 200 conveys the reaction cup 1 to the liquid injection station. At this time, due to the viscosity of the immune complex and the liquid in the reaction cup 1 being sucked away, the immune complex in the reaction cup 1 is still adsorbed at a preset height position on the cup wall of the reaction cup 1. The cleaning needle mechanism 300 injects cleaning liquid into the reaction cup 1. After the liquid injection is completed, the cleaning needle mechanism 300 leaves the reaction cup 1, and the turntable 210 starts to rotate back and forth. Since the cup is injected with cleaning liquid, the immune complex on the cup wall is shaken back and forth and dispersed under the reciprocating rotation of the turntable 210 and the action of gravity, so that the immune complex can be fully mixed with the injected cleaning liquid for cleaning, thereby obtaining a better cleaning effect and reducing the time required for cleaning.

[0040] In actual application, three, four or more liquid aspiration stations and liquid injection stations can be set. There are many ways for the first drive component 220 to drive the turntable 210 and to realize the reciprocating rotation of the turntable 210. The specific structures of the cleaning needle mechanism 300 and the movable magnet assembly 410 can also be set according to actual use needs. They are not described in detail here and are explained in detail below.

[0041] In some embodiments, the movable magnet assembly 410 includes a movable magnet 411 and a magnet driver 412 that is driven and connected to the movable magnet 411. One end of the magnetic pole of the movable magnet 411 is located on one side of the running path of the reaction cup 1. The magnet driver 412 can drive the movable magnet 411 to move up and down along the cup wall of the reaction cup 1. By setting the movable magnet 411 and the magnet driver 412, the movable magnet 411 adsorbs the immune complex in the reaction cup 1, and the magnet driver 412 drives the movable magnet 411 to move, driving the immune complex adsorbed on the cup wall to move. It has a simple structure and a small volume, and can better achieve the purpose of adsorbing the immune complex in the reaction cup 1 and driving it to move, which can improve the reliability of the present invention.

[0042] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the movable magnet assembly 410 is provided with one and is located outside the running path of the reaction cup 1, and it also includes a guide member 413, and the guide member 413 is provided with a guide groove, and the movable magnet 411 is arranged in the guide groove, and one end of the magnetic pole of the movable magnet 411 is close to the running path of the reaction cup 1, and when the reaction cup 1 is transported to the liquid aspiration station, one end of the magnetic pole of the movable magnet 411 is located close to the cup wall of the reaction cup 1, and the magnet driver 412 is a linear motor, and the movable magnet 411 can be driven by the magnet driver 412 to move up and down along the guide groove. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the present invention is in the working state when the conveying mechanism 200 conveys the reaction cup to the liquid aspiration station, the cleaning needle mechanism 300 has not yet sucked the waste liquid, the active magnet 411 is close to the cup wall of the reaction cup 1 on the station, and the immune complex (not shown in the figure) in the reaction cup 1 is adsorbed at a position near the cup wall near the bottom of the cup, and then the active magnet 411 is driven by the magnet driver 412 to move upward to a preset height position, driving the immune complex to move upward along the cup wall to a position at a preset height from the cup bottom, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the present invention is in the working state of the cleaning needle mechanism 300 in the process of sucking waste liquid. The movable magnet 411 adsorbs the immune complex and retains it on the wall of the reaction cup 1 to separate it from the waste liquid. At the same time, it can prevent the cleaning needle mechanism 300 from extending into the bottom of the reaction cup 1 to suck liquid and affecting the immune complex in the cup, and facilitate the subsequent reciprocating rotation of the turntable 210 to shake the immune complex apart after the cleaning liquid is injected into the reaction cup 1.

[0043] In actual application, the movable distance of the active magnet 411 can be set according to actual use needs. In addition to directly driving the active magnet 411 to move through the magnet driver 412, a connecting rod structure, a slider structure, etc. can also be set to move the active magnet 411. The magnet driver 412 is not limited to a linear motor, and the active magnet 411 can also be driven to move by a servo motor and a screw structure or a gear rack structure. The guide member 413 can also be set according to actual use needs. The specific structure of the active magnet assembly 410 can be changed according to actual use needs, which can be understood by those skilled in the art and is not limited here.

[0044] In some embodiments, at least two liquid aspiration stations are provided, and the magnet mechanism 400 further includes at least one fixed magnet 420 fixedly provided corresponding to the liquid aspiration station, one end of the magnetic pole of the fixed magnet 420 is located on one side of the running path of the reaction cup 1, and the fixed magnet 420 and the movable magnet assembly 410 are located at different liquid aspiration stations. By providing at least two liquid aspiration stations, and providing the fixed magnet 420 and the movable magnet assembly 410 at different liquid aspiration stations to adsorb the immune complex in the reaction cup 1, the immune complex can be washed and separated in different modes, so that the present invention can achieve a better washing and separation effect. At the same time, the use of the fixed magnet 420 and the movable magnet assembly 410 can reduce the production cost of the present invention and facilitate production and manufacturing.

[0045] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are four pipetting stations, and the magnet mechanism 400 includes a movable magnet assembly 410 and three fixed magnets 420, which are respectively distributed corresponding to the four pipetting stations. The movable magnet assembly 410 and the three fixed magnets 420 are all located outside the running path of the reaction cup 1, and one end of the fixed magnet 420 is close to the running path of the reaction cup 1. When the reaction cup 1 is transported to the pipetting station, one end of the fixed magnet 420 is close to the wall of the reaction cup 1.

[0046] In actual application, the specific number of pipetting stations, active magnet assemblies 410 and fixed magnets 420 can be set according to actual use needs. For example, three pipetting stations, two active magnet assemblies 410 and one fixed magnet 420 are set. Their distribution positions can also be set according to actual use needs, such as the active magnet assemblies 410 and the fixed magnets 420 are distributed on the same side of the running path of the reaction cup 1 or are respectively distributed on both sides of the running path of the reaction cup 1, etc., and there is no limitation here.

[0047] In some embodiments, the distance a between the axis of the cup placement hole 211 and the rotation axis of the turntable 210 is configured as: 40mm≦a≦50mm, and the reciprocating rotation speed b of the turntable 210 is configured as: 550rpm≦b≦650rpm. By setting the distance a between the axis of the cup placement hole 211 and the rotation axis of the turntable 210 in the range of 40mm to 50mm, and the reciprocating rotation speed b of the turntable 210 in the range of 550rpm to 650rpm, when the turntable 210 is in a reciprocating rotation state, the immune complex adsorbed on the cup wall can be shaken well, so that the immune complex is shaken and dispersed, and at the same time, the reaction cup 1 filled with the cleaning liquid is shaken well, and the cleaning liquid in the reaction cup 1 is easy to generate a vortex, which is convenient for fully cleaning the immune complex therein, achieving a better cleaning effect, and reducing the required cleaning time.

[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the distance a between the axis of the cup placement hole 211 and the rotation axis of the turntable 210 is 45 mm, and the reciprocating rotation speed b of the turntable 210 is 600 rpm, so that the immune complex can achieve a better shaking and dispersion effect and a cleaning effect when the turntable 210 reciprocates. In actual application, the distance a between the axis of the cup placement hole 211 and the rotation axis of the turntable 210 and the reciprocating rotation speed b of the turntable 210 can be selected and set within the above value range according to actual use needs, such as setting the distance a to 40 mm and the reciprocating rotation speed b to 550 rpm, or setting the distance a to 50 mm and the reciprocating rotation speed b to 650 rpm, which are not limited here and can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first drive assembly 220 includes a first driver 221 and a synchronous belt 222, and the synchronous belt 222 is connected to the first driver 221 and the turntable 210 respectively, and the first driver 221 can drive the turntable 210 to rotate through the synchronous belt 222. By providing the first driver 221 and the synchronous belt 222, the first driver 221 drives the turntable 210 to rotate through the synchronous belt 222, and its structure is relatively simple, which can reduce the volume of the present invention, and the synchronous belt 222 drives accurately and stably, which can enable the turntable 210 to achieve better positioning and transportation, and at the same time, the cost is low and it is easy to produce.

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first driver 221 is a stepper motor. The first driver 221 drives the turntable 210 to rotate through the synchronous belt 222 to realize the conveyance of the reaction cup 1. The first driver 221 can be changed between forward and reverse rotation to realize the reciprocating rotation of the turntable 210. The present invention realizes the conveyance and shaking of the reaction cup 1 through the provision of a driver, and its volume is small and the cost can be reduced. In actual application, the conveyance of the reaction cup 1 by the conveying mechanism 200 can also be realized by setting the cooperation of the cam indexer and the drive motor, and two or more different drive motors and a clutch mechanism can also be set. The clutch mechanism controls the connection or disconnection between the turntable 210 and different drive motors, so as to realize the conveyance and shaking of the reaction cup 1 by the turntable 210. The specific setting can be made according to the actual use needs, and those skilled in the art can understand it.

[0051] In some embodiments, a first position detection component (not shown in the figure) is provided on the frame 100, and the first position detection component can detect the rotation position of the turntable 210. By setting the first position detection component to detect the rotation position of the turntable 210, it is possible to avoid the turntable 210 from rotating incompletely or rotating excessively, resulting in the reaction cup 1 being in a non-cleaning position and being unable to wash and separate the immune complex, thereby avoiding the occurrence of malfunctions, ensuring the accuracy of the rotation position of the turntable 210, and improving the degree of intelligence of the present invention.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first position detection component includes a photoelectric sensor, and a detection point (not shown in the figure) is set on the turntable 210.
