[0002] Nucleic acid is one of the most basic substances of life. It is widely present in all animal and plant cells and microorganisms, and plays an important role in the life activities of organisms. If there is a slight change in its structure, it may lead to mutations, defects or diseases. In order to study nucleic acid, it needs to be extracted, so an extraction device is needed to extract nucleic acid.

[0003] At present, the extraction method of non-direct contact ultrasonic nucleic acid extractors on the market is usually just to use a motor to drive the oscillation module to oscillate the sample up and down at a high frequency to achieve lysis. For example, the Chinese application number is 202011024620.0, which is a high-efficiency extraction oscillation module of a non-direct contact ultrasonic nucleic acid extractor and a non-direct contact ultrasonic nucleic acid extractor. This type of oscillation method uses strong mechanical oscillation and heating to mix the sample, thereby releasing the nucleic acid. During this oscillation process, the noise is high due to excessive load. However, if the noise is reduced, the oscillation frequency will be reduced, resulting in a significant reduction in the mixing efficiency.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 12The present invention provides a non-direct contact ultrasonic nucleic acid extractor, which includes a base 1, an ultrasonic component 2 installed on the base 1 and used to vibrate and mix the nucleic acid solution to be extracted in a reagent box 5, a fixed platform 3 located above the ultrasonic component 2, a fixing device 4 fixed to the fixed platform 3 and used to fix the reagent box 2, a magnetic sleeve component 6, a magnetic rod component 7 that cooperates with the magnetic sleeve component 6, a first driving component 8 connected to the magnetic sleeve component 6, and a second driving component 9 connected to the magnetic rod component 7. The magnetic sleeve component 6 is located above the fixing device 4, and the magnetic rod component 7 is located above the magnetic sleeve component 6.

[0031] The base 1 is a plate-shaped structure, and the fixed platform 3 is fixed on the base 1 through the support plates 11 on both sides. The ultrasonic component 2 is installed above the base 1 and below the fixed platform 3. Figure 2 The ultrasonic component 2 includes a first translation mechanism 21 fixed to the surface of the base 1, a carrier plate 22 installed on the first translation mechanism 21, a lifting mechanism 23 fixed on the carrier plate 22, an ultrasonic generator 24 fixed on the lifting mechanism 23, and a vibration head 25 fixed to the output end of the ultrasonic generator 24.

[0032] See also Figure 3 The first translation mechanism 21 includes a second motor 211, a first lead screw 212 drivingly connected to the second motor 211, and a slider 213 connected to the first lead screw 212. The carrier plate 22 is fixed to the upper end of the slider 213. The second motor 211 drives the first lead screw 212 to rotate. The slider 213 on the first lead screw 212 drives the carrier plate 22 to translate, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the ultrasonic generator 24.

[0033] Continue to see Figure 3 The lifting mechanism 23 includes a first motor 231 fixed on the carrier plate 22, a second screw rod 232 connected to the first motor 231, and a lifting plate 233 connected to the second screw rod 232. The ultrasonic generator 24 is fixed on the lifting plate 233. The first motor 231 controls the lifting plate 233 to move up and down through the second screw rod 232. The lifting plate 233 drives the ultrasonic generator 24 to move up and down as a whole, so as to achieve the contact or separation between the vibration head 25 of the ultrasonic generator 24 and the bottom of the reagent box 5.

[0034] The ultrasonic generator 24 is connected to a matching alternating current signal to drive the ultrasonic generator 24 to work. The electrical power of the ultrasonic generator 24 is converted into mechanical power (i.e., ultrasonic waves) and transmitted out. The vibration head 25 contacts the bottom of the reagent box 5 and is transmitted to the reagent box 5 through the vibration head 25. In other words, the nucleic acid solution to be extracted in the reagent box 5 is mixed, and there is no need to insert the vibration head 25 deeply into the reagent box 5. The vibration head 25 does not need to contact the nucleic acid solution to be extracted, that is, a non-direct contact mixing method is adopted, which can avoid cross infection. In addition, the ultrasonic generator 2 works at a predetermined mixing frequency, and the contact surface between the vibration head 25 and the reagent box 5 generates heat, thereby heating the nucleic acid solution in the reagent box 5 and eliminating the heating component.

[0035] See also Figure 4 In order to fix the ultrasonic generator 2, the outer circumference of the lifting plate 233 is concavely formed inwardly to form a notch 2331.

Both ends of the locking half ring 26 are provided with connecting ears 2611. The connecting ears 2611 are provided with screw holes. The screws pass through the screw holes and are fastened to the lifting plate 233 to lock the ultrasonic generator 2 in the notch 2331. The shape formed by the locking half ring 261 and the notch 2331 is adapted to the outer circumferential shape of the ultrasonic generator 2.

The depth of the narrow groove 2522 is greater than the depth of the profiling groove 2521, so as to divide the profiling groove 2521 into two parts. Such a configuration is used to reduce mutual interference of ultrasound. If the narrow groove 2522 is not provided, the plurality of profiling grooves 2521 on the outer end surface of the vibration head 25 will cancel each other due to the interference of ultrasound, and the reagent solution cannot be vibrated.

[0037] In this embodiment, the narrow grooves 2522 can be set to have the same width, or the maximum width of the lower section of the narrow groove 2522 can be set to be greater than the width of the upper section of the narrow groove 2522. Figure 5 As shown, the lower section of the narrow groove 2522 forms a bottom groove 2523 , the maximum width of the bottom groove 2523 is greater than the width of the narrow groove 2522 , and the cross-section of the bottom groove 2523 is circular, rectangular, square, triangular, etc.

[0039] The vibration head 25 is provided with at least one damping groove 254, which is used to reduce the lateral vibration along the horizontal axis of the vibration head 25. Specifically, in this embodiment, two damping grooves 254 are provided, and the two damping grooves 254 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the vibration head 25, which is conducive to reducing the lateral vibration and ensuring that the ultrasonic vibration is propagated along the longitudinal axis.

It is necessary that the first translation mechanism 21 drives the ultrasonic generator and the vibration head 25 to translate to the bottom of a container slot of the next reagent box that needs to be shaken and mixed, and mix the solution again.

[0055] The ultrasonic generator 24 and its vibration head 25 continuously emit ultrasonic waves to the reagent box 5, and it only takes 3-5 minutes to complete the mixing of a reagent box solution.
