Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cell sorting technology, and more particularly to a movable microplate collection device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, droplet microfluidics technology has developed rapidly, with cell sorting based on it being widely used in biological, chemical, and medical analysis processes. In many scientific experiments or industrial applications, researchers often need to dispense sorted positive or negative droplets into well plates (96-well / 384-well plates), ideally containing only one positive or negative droplet per well, and recording the parameter values ​​(such as fluorescence and absorbance) of each droplet. This facilitates subsequent culture, observation, selection, and related experiments. Therefore, the ability to accurately dispense each droplet into the well plate is crucial for users.

[0003] To ensure accurate distribution of each target droplet into a 96-well or 384-well plate, the outflow time between adjacent droplets often needs to be controlled for a long period, ranging from tens of seconds to several minutes. Therefore, the entire process, from initial distribution to final distribution, takes at least 30 minutes. This prolonged distribution process can cause the cells encapsulated within the droplets to lose their viability. To ensure the cell viability within the wells remains unaffected, some manufacturers add temperature control modules to the storage area of ​​the 96-well or 384-well plates, maintaining a low temperature of 4°C to 8°C. However, commercially available temperature-controlled plate storage structures are typically fixed directly inside the equipment, with droplet distribution completed by the horizontal XY movement of the droplet distribution device.

[0004] However, research has revealed some problems with the above method. The orifice plate is typically about 120mm long and 80mm wide. To meet the requirement of printing the entire orifice plate, the droplet distribution device must cover the entire orifice plate size during its movement. This leads to difficulties and complexities in the layout of the liquid path. The complex layout affects the stability of the droplet flow in the path and the distribution time. Moreover, the movement of the droplet distribution device may cause various problems such as liquid splashing, affecting the distribution accuracy. In addition, to ensure convenient loading and unloading of the orifice plate, the orifice plate storage mechanism must be placed in a location that is easy for the customer to access. Therefore, the droplet distribution device must also be set up to match the layout of the orifice plate storage device, affecting the design flexibility. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a movable microplate collection device. Through reasonable layout design, the device can be moved and controlled while reserving space for the installation of the temperature control module.

[0065] This application discloses a movable microplate collection device.

[0066] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 5 One embodiment of a movable microplate collection device provided in this application includes:

[0067] The device includes a carrier 100, a storage unit 300, and a motion unit 200.

[0068] The storage unit 300 is used to fix the micro-perforated plate 304. The storage unit 300 has a fixing station for fixing the micro-perforated plate 304. A clamping module can be installed in the fixing station to clamp and fix the micro-perforated plate 304. The fixing station also has a perforated plate cover 301 for limiting and protecting the micro-perforated plate 304. The perforated plate cover 301 has connecting holes that correspond one-to-one with the holes in the micro-perforated plate 304. The storage unit 300 can also be provided with corresponding installation space, such as… Figure 5 As shown, the required temperature control module 303 is installed to integrate the temperature control module 303 with the micro-hole plate 304, so as to meet the temperature control requirements of the micro-hole plate 304 and move together with the micro-hole plate 304.

[0069] The motion unit 200 includes a motion carrier 201, a first motion component 202, and a second motion component 203.

[0070] The first motion component 202 includes a first guide component 2021 and a first drive component 2022; the motion carrier 201 is slidably mounted on the device carrier 100 along a first linear direction via the first guide component 2021; the first drive component 2022 is mounted on the device carrier 100 and connected to the motion carrier 201, and is used to drive the motion carrier 201 to move.

[0071] The second motion component 203 includes a second guide component 2031 and a second drive component 2032; the storage unit 300 is slidably mounted on the motion carrier 201 via the second guide component 2031 along a second straight direction perpendicular to the first straight direction; the second drive component 2032 is mounted on the motion carrier 201 and connected to the storage unit 300, and is used to drive the storage unit 300 to move.

[0072] In this application, if the first straight line direction is taken as the X-axis direction, then the corresponding second straight line direction is taken as the Y-axis direction; conversely, if the first straight line direction is taken as the Y-axis direction, then the corresponding second straight line direction is taken as the X-axis direction.

[0073] The movable microplate collection device designed in this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0074] 1. Through the cooperation of the motion carrier 201, the first motion component 202, the second motion component 203 and the storage unit 300, the movement control of the storage unit 300 in two horizontal axes is realized, thereby realizing the movement control of the microporous plate 304, effectively solving the technical problems that affect the stability and accuracy of droplet distribution and the design flexibility due to the movement control of the droplet distribution device.

[0075] 2. The storage unit 300 is designed to fix the micro-hole plate 304 while reserving installation space for the temperature control module 303, so that the temperature control module 303 and the micro-hole plate 304 can be integrated together and controlled by the moving unit to meet the temperature control requirements.

[0076] The above is Embodiment 1 of a movable microplate collection device provided in this application. The following is Embodiment 2 of a movable microplate collection device provided in this application. Please refer to the following for details. Figures 1 to 6 .

[0077] Based on the solution of Embodiment 1 above:

[0078] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device carrier 100 can be designed as a plate structure, and it has a first clearance through hole 101 within the stroke range of the motion unit 200.

[0079] By designing the first clearance through hole 101, such as Figure 2 As shown, a first connector 2011 with a downward-passing first clearance through hole 101 and used to connect the first drive assembly 2022 can be designed on the motion carrier 201. This allows some parts of the first drive assembly 2022 to be installed at the bottom of the device carrier 100, achieving a bottom-up installation distribution method, avoiding excessive occupation of the top space of the device carrier 100, and making the overall structure more compact and reasonable.

[0080] At the same time, the first clearance through hole 101 can also provide clearance space for the movement of the structure installed on the upper part of the storage unit 300, so that the storage unit 300 can integrate more structural components and realize richer functions.

[0081] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first guide assembly 2021 is disposed on one side of the first clearance through hole 101, and includes a shaft seat 13, a guide shaft 12, and two fixing seats 11.

[0082] Two fixed seats 11 are spaced apart along the first straight line direction. The guide shaft 12 is installed between the two fixed seats 11. The shaft seat 13 is slidably sleeved on the guide shaft 12. A linear bearing 14 that slides with the guide shaft 12 is fixed on the shaft seat 13 (setting the linear bearing 14 can improve the smoothness and stability of the sliding fit between the shaft seat 13 and the guide shaft 12). The motion carrier 201 is fixed on the top of the shaft seat 13.

[0083] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are two first guide components 2021, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the first clearance through hole 101 along the second straight line. The arrangement on both sides along the second straight line makes the force more evenly distributed. When the motion carrier 201 performs linear motion or other forms of motion conversion under the guidance of the first guide components 2021, the guide components on both sides can work together to bear the force, avoiding problems such as local deformation and fatigue damage caused by excessive force on one side.

[0084] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to allow the first connector 2011 to pass through the first clearance through hole 101 more easily and to reduce the length of the first connector 2011 to save material costs, the first connector 2011 is connected and fixed to the bottom of one of the bearing seats 13.

[0085] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the design of the first drive component 2022 includes a first drive motor 21 and a first transmission component.

[0086] The output shaft of the first drive motor 21 passes downward through the device carrier 100 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown, the first drive motor 21 is inverted on the top of the device carrier 100 so that the output shaft passes through the device carrier 100 downwards, and is connected to the first connector 2011 through the first transmission assembly.

[0087] like Figure 2 As shown, the specific design of the first transmission component includes a first driving pulley 22, a first driven pulley 24, and a first synchronous belt 23.

[0088] The first driving pulley 22 is fixed to the output shaft of the first drive motor 21; the first driven pulley 24 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the device carrier 100 and is connected to the first driving pulley 22 via the first synchronous belt 23; the first driven pulley 24 and the first driving pulley 22 are spaced apart along the first straight line direction; the first connecting member 2011 is fixedly connected to the first synchronous belt 23.

[0089] The drive control process is as follows: the first drive motor 21 drives the first active pulley 22 to rotate in both directions, thereby driving the first driven pulley 24 to move synchronously through the first synchronous belt 23. During the process, one side of the first synchronous belt 23 moves along the first straight line direction, which can also drive the first connecting piece 2011 to move along the first straight line direction, thereby driving the motion carrier 201 to move in the first straight line direction.

[0090] In this application, the first drive motor 21 is a stepper motor that can rotate in both directions, and the first transmission component, in addition to the aforementioned synchronous belt pulley component, can also be a gear chain component, without any specific limitation.

[0091] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, at least one bearing 13 is equipped with a first sensor baffle 403, and the device carrier 100 is provided with a first starting point sensor 401 and a first ending point sensor 402 for sensing the first sensor baffle 403 at intervals along the first straight line direction.

[0092] The cooperation of the first starting point sensor 401 and the first ending point sensor 402 with the first sensor baffle 403 enables precise determination of the positional change of the bearing 13 in the first linear direction. When the bearing 13 moves, the first sensor baffle 403 triggers the first starting point sensor 401 to indicate that the bearing 13 has reached a specific initial working position, and triggers the first ending point sensor 402 to indicate that it has reached the ending position. In this way, the system can obtain the position information of the bearing 13 in real time, thereby achieving precise control and monitoring of the relevant motion process.

[0093] The first starting point sensor 401 and the first ending point sensor 402 can be photoelectric sensors, and there are no specific restrictions.

[0094] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second guide assembly 2031 includes at least two linear guide rails 31; the at least two linear guide rails 31 are fixedly fixed to the top of the motion carrier 201 in parallel and at intervals, and are distributed along the second linear direction; a slider 32 is slidably mounted on each linear guide rail 31; the storage unit 300 is fixedly connected to the slider 32.

[0095] The motion carrier 201 is provided with a second clearance through hole 2012 distributed along the second straight line direction. Taking the setting of two linear guide rails 31 as an example, the second clearance through hole 2012 is opened between the two linear guide rails 31.

[0096] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the second drive assembly 2032 is installed on one side of the motion carrier 201 along the first straight line direction (in order to better install the second drive assembly 2032 and reduce the size in the first straight line direction, an avoidance groove can be provided on one side of the motion carrier 201, and then the second drive assembly 2032 can be installed in the avoidance groove); the side installation can also prevent the second drive assembly 2032 from encroaching on the bottom space of the motion carrier 201 and avoid interference with the storage unit 300.

[0097] The storage unit 300 is fixed with a second connector 302 that extends out of one side of the motion carrier 201 and is connected to the first drive assembly 2022.

[0098] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second drive assembly 2032 specifically includes a second drive motor 41 and a second transmission assembly.

[0099] The second drive motor 41 is fixed on one side of the motion carrier 201, and its output shaft is connected to the second connector 302 through the second transmission assembly.

[0100] The specific design of the second transmission component includes a second driving pulley (not shown in the figure), a second driven pulley 43, and a second synchronous belt 42.

[0101] The second driving pulley is fixed to the output shaft of the second drive motor 41; the second driven pulley 43 is rotatably mounted on one side of the motion carrier 201 and is connected to the second driving pulley via the second synchronous belt 42; the second driven pulley 43 and the second driving pulley are spaced apart along the first straight line direction; the second connecting member 302 is fixedly connected to the second synchronous belt 42.

[0102] The drive control process is as follows: the second drive motor 41 drives the second active pulley to rotate in both directions, thereby driving the first driven pulley 24 to move synchronously through the second synchronous belt 42. During the process, one side of the second synchronous belt 42 moves along the second straight line direction, which can also drive the second connecting member 302 to move along the first straight line direction, thereby driving the storage unit 300 to move in the second straight line direction.

[0103] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown, a support plate 5 is also fixed on one side of the motion carrier 201. The support plate 5 is L-shaped. With the L-shaped design, its horizontal plate can support the cable chain (it can be understood that the first drive component 2022 and the second drive component 2032 of this application also include cable chains, and the support plate 5 can support the cable chain of the second drive component 2032. Similarly, a connecting support structure 6 can be added to the device carrier 100 to support the cable chain of the first drive component 2022), while the vertical plate can be used to install the drive circuit board of the temperature control module 303, making the overall structure more compact.

[0104] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, a second sensor baffle 406 is installed on one side of the storage unit 300; a second starting point sensor 404 and a second ending point sensor 405 for sensing the second sensor baffle 406 are arranged at intervals along the second straight line on the tray 5.

[0105] The cooperation of the second starting point sensor 404, the second ending point sensor 405, and the second sensor baffle 406 enables precise determination of the positional changes of the storage unit 300 in the second linear direction. When the storage unit moves, the second sensor baffle 406 triggers the second starting point sensor 404 to indicate that the storage unit 300 has reached a specific initial working position, and triggers the second ending point sensor 405 to indicate that it has reached the ending position. In this way, the system can acquire the position information of the second storage unit 300 in real time, thereby achieving precise control and monitoring of the relevant movement process.

[0106] The second starting point sensor 404 and the second ending point sensor 405 can be photoelectric sensors, and there are no specific restrictions.

[0107] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, taking the device carrier 100 as a plate structure as an example, a housing 500 can be installed on it to protect the storage unit 300 and the motion unit 200. For ease of operation, the housing 500 is provided with a perforated plate loading / unloading slot 501. The height of the perforated plate loading / unloading slot 501 is higher than the height of the perforated plate cover 301 on the storage unit 300, just enough to cover the circuit board, pipes and other components on the tray 5, so as not to affect the aesthetics. At the same time, a safety door 502 and a safety sensor 503 for detecting the opening and closing status of the safety door 502 are installed on the housing 500. The safety sensor 503 can be a micro switch, photoelectric sensor, Hall switch, etc., and there is no specific limitation.

[0108] The safety door 502 can be hinged. When the safety door 502 is closed (flipped upward), it can cover the orifice plate pick-up slot 501. When the safety door 502 is opened (flipped downward), the orifice plate pick-up slot 501 can be exposed.

[0109] The above provides a detailed description of a movable microplate collection device provided in this application. For those skilled in the art, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
