Description

Technical Field

[0002] Laboratories are important places for conducting experiments and play a very important role in the development of science and technology. Existing laboratories are usually built in fixed locations, which not only have high development and manufacturing costs, but also cannot be transported over long distances. Many experimental projects cannot be sent to the laboratory for experiments in time due to transportation restrictions.

[0003] In the prior art, there is a kind of splicing laboratory, which uses a polygonal base of a certain specification as the skeleton, with corresponding execution mechanical arms on the skeleton, and a special docking station is installed around the skeleton to provide mobile equipment and a cart for cooperation, and finally form an automated laboratory. Although this scheme can realize the splicing design of the laboratory, it has many defects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0068] 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.

[0069] The experimental platform module 1 and the environment module 2 of this scheme are in a block-like structure, so that the final laboratory can also be approximately seen as a block-like structure.

[0070] It should be noted that the block-shaped structure in the present solution includes quadrilateral three-dimensional structures such as a cuboid and a cube. The block-shaped structure is easy to assemble and can also improve the utilization rate of space.

[0071] Example 1

[0072] This embodiment proposes a splicable automated laboratory. Through the modular design of the system, the automated laboratory is divided into multiple large modules according to function, and each large module is divided into multiple small modules. Large modules are constructed by reasonably selecting small modules, and then the large modules are selected to construct an automated laboratory of appropriate size and function. The module relationship diagram of the automated laboratory is as shown in the attached manual. Figure 1 As shown, the specific scheme is as follows:

[0073] A splicable automated laboratory includes an experimental platform module 1, a door and window module 3, and one or more environmental modules 2. The experimental platform module 1, the door and window module 3, and the environmental module 2 can construct a laboratory that meets the most basic laboratory needs. As an option, the automated laboratory also includes a human-computer interaction module 8, an intelligent module 6, and other platform function expansion modules, etc., and other functional modules can be adaptively expanded according to functional requirements.

[0074] Preferably, the automated laboratory of this embodiment is suitable for the field of synthetic biology. Synthetic biology is a branch of biological science that has just emerged in the 21st century. Its research purpose is to establish artificial biological systems (artificial biosystems) and let them operate like circuits. In addition, the automated laboratory of this embodiment can also be adapted to other fields of biology and chemistry. As an upstream integrated device, its reuse value lies more in whether the downstream equipment is standard and whether its standards meet the specifications of the laboratory.

[0075] The experimental platform module 1 serves as the bottom skeleton of the entire automated laboratory, carrying various devices such as the intelligent module 6, and providing the main splicing basis for other modules. The experimental platform module 1 includes an electrical core component 15, a central frame 11, and a platform frame 12. In a preferred embodiment, the experimental platform module 1 also includes a mechanical arm 14 and a transmission track 13.

[0076] The electrical core components 15 are mainly related components of the circuit on the experimental platform module 1, including various electrical devices and electrical control devices. Preferably, the electrical core components 15 are flexible. The electrical core components 15 can be mounted on the central frame 11 and / or the platform frame 12.

[0077] The structural diagram of the central frame 11 is shown in the attached manual. Figure 2 As shown. The central frame 11 serves as the skeleton of the experimental platform module 1, and is used to carry the electrical core components 15 and the robotic arm 14, as well as the splicing platform frame 12. In this embodiment, the central frame 11 includes one or more block-shaped sub-frames, and the sub-frames can be spliced ​​with each other to extend the length of the central frame 11. The number and specifications of the longitudinally spliced ​​sub-frames determine the length of the automated laboratory.

[0078] The subframes may have the same or different specifications. For example, subframes of N specifications are used to construct the central frame 11. Preferably, the subframes are all in a square shape, which can effectively utilize space and facilitate the splicing of the subframes. Figure 2 A central frame 11 formed by cooperation of N sub-frames is shown.

[0079] In the attached Figure 2In the embodiment, the electrical core component 15 is located in the central frame 11, and the transmission track 13 is located in the space above the central frame 11. The mechanical arm 14 is located on the transmission track 13 and moves through the transmission track 13. The transmission track 13 is mounted on all or part of the sub-frames to achieve the change of the track length of the transmission track 13 through the combination of the sub-frames. In the prior art, since the length of the transmission track 13 is fixed, it is difficult to make new expansions to the length of the laboratory, and a new transmission track 13 needs to be customized for expansion, which is extremely costly and complicated to install. In the present embodiment, by modularizing the transmission track 13, a new transmission track 13 can be formed by simply splicing the transmission track 13, which is simple to install and has low cost.

[0080] Preferably, the transmission track 13 is flexible. Exemplarily, the transmission track 13 is spliced ​​by mover tracks of various specifications and is equipped with one or more movers, and the number of mechanical arms 14 is consistent with the number of movers. In terms of space utilization, based on the spherical gripping range of the mechanical arm 14, the mechanical arm 14 is placed in the middle and upper positions, and the platform design of various specifications ensures that the equipment can be used, and the automation equipment is distinguished and placed in the upper, middle and lower areas, further improving the space utilization.

[0081] The structural diagram of the platform frame 12 is shown in the attached manual. Figure 3 As shown. The platform frame 12 is used to carry the preset experimental equipment 7, and the central frame 11 is connected to the platform frame 12. The platform frame 12 can carry various experimental equipment 7. Preferably, the automated laboratory of this embodiment is used in the field of synthetic biology, so the platform frame 12 meets the requirements of carrying most automated equipment in the field of synthetic biology.

[0082] The platform framework 12 is composed of one or more equipment platforms. In practical applications, the equipment platforms have various models and designs, and the platform framework 12 can be composed of equipment platforms of various specifications. Figure 3 In the figure, three types of equipment platforms are shown to cooperate with the central frame 11, and finally form an experimental platform with four times the length and the same width. If the sub-frames are spliced ​​into the central frame 11 in the X-axis direction, multiple equipment platforms are spliced ​​in the Y-axis direction of the central frame 11.

[0083] Different equipment platforms may have different locations and methods for storing the experimental equipment 7. In this embodiment, different equipment platforms can be spliced ​​side by side or stacked into multiple layers for splicing. The specific structure is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3As shown. The experimental equipment 7 can be placed at the bottom of the equipment platform, the top of the equipment platform, inside the equipment platform or the upper part of the second-layer platform expanded from the upper part of the equipment platform according to the size of the equipment and the material out of the warehouse, so as to further improve the space utilization. The upper and lower boards of the equipment platform and the expandable second-layer platform also have several models of design, among which the bottom boards and connecting rods can be disassembled to provide some bottom equipment for ground placement. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the experimental platform module 1 is provided, which shows the effect of placing some equipment on the ground.

[0084] The subframe is provided with a first splicing structure for splicing other subframes, and a second splicing structure for splicing the platform frame 12. Preferably, the first splicing structure is located on the first side and the second side of the subframe; the second splicing structure is located on the third side and the fourth side of the subframe; the first side is perpendicular to the third side and the fourth side respectively; wherein the second side is perpendicular to the third side and the fourth side respectively. The structural schematic diagram after the central frame 11 and the platform frame 12 are connected is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 shown.

[0085] In this embodiment, the experimental platform module 1 and the environment module 2 are in a square shape, using quadrilateral three-dimensional structures of several specifications, and the functions of each space area are divided in two-dimensional and three-dimensional space to improve the space utilization rate of the laboratory.

[0086] The environmental module 2 includes a variety of specifications, and can be spliced ​​in one or more forms of the same or different specifications. Specifically, the environmental module 2 includes an environmental frame 21 and environmental equipment 22 located on the environmental frame 21. The environmental equipment 22 includes a HEPA (high efficiency air filter), a lighting lamp, an ultraviolet lamp, etc., which can provide a hundred-level dust-free air, lighting, sterile and other experimental environments for the experimental space. Preferably, the environmental module 2 is a laminar flow hood.

[0087] The environment module 2 is installed on the experimental platform module 1, and the space between the environment frame 21 and the experimental platform module 1 constitutes the experimental space. The environment module 2 is set based on the central frame 11 and the platform frame 12 so that the automated laboratory finally forms a block-shaped structure, so the environment module 2 needs to match the various specifications of the experimental platform module 1.

[0088] In practical applications, laboratories require a variety of environmental conditions, and each environmental condition needs to be achieved by different environmental equipment 22. Therefore, in this embodiment, the automated laboratory includes one or more environmental modules 2 to meet the different environmental requirements of the laboratory. In addition, each environmental module 2 can be independently assembled, independently powered, and independently controlled. After assembly, it can be moved over short distances using mobile devices such as wheels, and multiple environmental modules 2 can be combined.

[0089] The environmental frame 21 includes an upper environmental layer 211 and a middle environmental layer 212 which are connected to each other; the upper environmental layer 211 is equipped with environmental equipment 22, and the middle environmental layer 212 is equipped with door and window modules 3; the bottom surface of the upper environmental layer 211, the top surface of the experimental platform module 1 and the space surrounded by the middle environmental layer 212 constitute the experimental space. The environmental frame 21 also includes a lower environmental layer 213, which is connected to the middle environmental layer 212, and the height of the lower environmental layer 213 is not greater than the height of the experimental platform module 1.

[0090] The upper environment layer 211, the middle environment layer 212 and the lower environment layer 213 are as shown in the attached specification. Figure 5 The height of the middle environment layer 212 determines the height of the experimental space. The lower environment layer 213 corresponds to the experimental platform module 1. Preferably, the lower environment layer 213 is provided with a moving mechanism so that multiple environment modules 2 can be freely combined through short-distance movement.

[0091] The door and window module 3 is used to isolate the experimental space from the external space. The experimental space of the entire laboratory is separated by the door and window module 3 and the environment module 2, so as to control the experimental environment of the experimental space and protect the safety of external personnel. Figure 6 It shows that the door and window module 3 cooperates with the experimental platform module 1 and the environment module 2 to finally form a complete environmental control. In this embodiment, the door and window module 3 has a variety of models to meet the assembly of various specifications of the experimental platform module 1 and the environment module 2 and the interaction with related equipment. At the same time, the door and window module 3 can also meet the human-computer interaction between people and the automated laboratory.

[0092] The door and window module 3 is provided with an openable and closable door and window structure, which is used to realize the connection between the experimental space and the external space through the opening and closing of the door and window structure. Connecting the external space with the experimental space is the basic function of the laboratory.

[0093] In addition, the door and window module 3 also has a variety of special human-computer interaction effects. For example, 1.

As the control system and power system of the laboratory, the intelligent module 6 provides power control for the entire island and related signal collection, feedback and output, and acts on electrical components or experimental island modules. The structural diagram of various experimental equipment 7 and the intelligent module 6 in the automated laboratory is attached to the manual. Figure 7 shown.

[0096] The automated laboratory also includes an upper shell module 44 and a lower shell module 55.
