[0020] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the present invention includes a collecting shell 10, a collecting box 12 arranged in the collecting shell 10, and a magnetic attraction device arranged between the inner side wall of the collecting box 12 and the corresponding collecting shell 10, and a water inlet hole 11 is opened on the top surface of the collecting shell 10 and at a position corresponding to the collecting box 12.

[0021] The magnetic attraction device includes a magnet 13 arranged on the inner side wall of the collection box 12 corresponding to the collection shell 10, and a sensor for detecting the liquid level height in the collection box 12 is provided on the collection shell 10. Preferably, the sensor is a reflective sensor.

[0022] Condensed water enters the collection shell 10 through the water inlet hole and flows into the collection box 12. At the same time, a reflective sensor is installed above the collection box 12. It can judge the height of the liquid level according to the strength of the collected voltage. When the liquid level reaches the warning water level, an alarm is sounded to notify the operator to pour out the water in the condensed water collection box 12; the collection box 12 is installed in the collection shell 10 like a drawer, and can be pulled out when pouring water out. At the same time, the reflective sensor can also determine whether there is a drawer and feedback to the instrument operation interface. The rear of the collection box 12 and the collection shell 10 are respectively equipped with magnets with corresponding positions to adsorb the two together.

[0023] As attached Figure 2-5 As shown, the system further includes a refrigeration duct assembly and a heat dissipation duct assembly. The refrigeration duct assembly 2 includes a refrigeration duct 2 and a cold air circulation pipe 3 connected at one end. A refrigeration fin 201 is provided in the refrigeration duct 2. The heat dissipation duct assembly and the heat generating part of the refrigeration fin 201 perform heat exchange through the refrigeration heat sink 7. The collection housing 10 is installed below the refrigeration duct assembly. The refrigeration fin 201 is provided in the refrigeration duct assembly. The refrigeration duct assembly housing located below the refrigeration fin 201 is funnel-shaped. The water inlet 11 on the collection housing 10 is connected to the bottom opening of the funnel through a pipeline.

[0024] Preferably, a cooling fan 1 is provided in the cooling duct, and the cooling fan 1, the cooling fins 201 and the cooling air outlet are sequentially arranged in the cooling duct 2. Correspondingly, the housing of the cooling duct assembly located below the cooling fins 201 mentioned above is funnel-shaped, which means that the housing of the cooling duct 2 located in the cooling duct 2 and below the cooling fins 201 is funnel-shaped.

[0025] In this embodiment, the item to be refrigerated is a reagent box rack, and the reagent box is placed in the reagent box rack. The refrigeration air outlet of the refrigeration air duct 2 and the cold air circulation air outlet of the cold air circulation pipeline 3 are located on both sides of the reagent box rack, and the cold air is used to cool the reagent box rack.

[0026] As attached Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the cooling fin 201 is arranged in the cooling air duct 2, and the cooling heat sink 7 is located above the cooling fin 201 and corresponds to the position of the cooling fin 201. In the cooling fin 201, the upper end thereof is a heat generating portion, and the cooling heat sink 7 is used to discharge the heat generated during the cooling process in time.

[0027] The heat dissipation duct assembly includes a heat dissipation duct 4, a heat sink 401 disposed in the heat dissipation duct 4, and a heat dissipation fan 5 disposed in the heat dissipation duct 4 and used to discharge the hot air on the heat sink 401. The heat dissipation duct 4 is installed above the cooling duct 2, and the position of the heat sink 401 is opposite to the position of the cooling heat sink 7. The heat dissipation duct 4 on one side of the heat sink 401 is an open design, and a heat dissipation fan 5 is provided in the heat dissipation duct 4 and on the other side of the heat sink 7. The heat generated by the cooling fin 201 is exchanged to the heat sink 401 and then blown out by the heat dissipation fan 5.

[0028] As a further improvement of the present invention, the heat dissipation duct 4 is connected to a heating duct 6 , a heating fan and a heating plate (not shown) are provided in the heating duct 6 , and a storage rack 8 is provided at the hot air outlet of the heating duct 6 .

[0029] When the reagent disc is in use, the rack 8 can be a rack for placing the reagent disc during testing, and the heating air duct 6 is used to heat the reagent disc.

[0030] Preferably, the shells of the refrigeration duct 2, the cold air circulation duct 3, the heat dissipation duct 4 and the heating duct 6 all adopt a double-layer structure, and the interlayer of the double-layer structure is lined with insulation material, which can achieve better insulation effect and prevent condensation water from appearing on the outer wall of the duct.

[0031] A temperature sensor is provided at the air outlet of the cooling air duct 2 , and a temperature sensor is provided at the hot air outlet of the heating air duct 6 .

[0032] During refrigeration, the cold air enters the reagent rack after being cooled by the refrigeration plate 201, cools the reagents in the reagent rack, and then enters the refrigeration air duct 2 again after passing through the cold air circulation pipe 3 and the cold air fan 1 to form a cycle. Not only can the refrigeration effect be better and energy can be saved, but also the cold air can be recycled to prevent the cold air from entering the instrument and affecting the heating effect of the instrument; a temperature sensor is installed at the cold air outlet, and the temperature of the refrigeration plate can be adjusted according to the outlet temperature, and the temperature inside the reagent rack can be adjusted to maintain a constant temperature.

[0033] During heating, the waste heat generated during cooling is discharged through the heat dissipation duct 4 and the heat dissipation fan 5. When the heating area inside the instrument needs heat, the heating fan in the heating duct 6 starts to work, and a part of the waste heat is sucked into the heating duct. After being heated again by the heating plate, it enters the area that needs to be heated. A temperature sensor is installed in this area. The constant temperature effect can be achieved by controlling the heating plate and the heating fan in the hot air circulation duct. In this way, a part of the waste heat can be used for heating, saving energy.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features thereof may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
