[0061] A manipulator 5 is provided in the working chamber and mounted on the movable bracket 2. The sampling container 321 is provided with a first cover. The manipulator 5 is at least used to move the sampling container 321 to the pretreatment device 31 and to tighten or loosen the first cover and the sampling container 321.

[0063] A detection module 7, disposed in the working chamber and mounted on the mounting bracket 1, the detection module 7 being used to detect the object to be detected; and

[0064] The recovery module 8 is disposed in the working chamber and mounted on the mounting bracket 1 . The recovery module 8 is used to recover the used first reagent, the second reagent, the third reagent and the sampling container 321 .

[0065] The technical solution of the present invention realizes automatic collection of air and collects the objects to be detected in the air through the collection module for processing and detection by subsequent modules, and transfers the collected objects to be processed to the pretreatment position and adds reagents through the pretreatment module 3, the manipulator 5 and the pipetting module 6. The manipulator 5 can move the reagent bottle where the pretreated object to be detected is located to the detection module 7 for detection and obtain results. In order to meet the higher automation requirements, the automatic device for air sampling and detection is also provided with a recovery module 8, which is arranged in the working chamber and fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 1. The recovery module 8 can recover the first reagent, the second reagent, the third reagent and the sampling container 321, so that the next round of sampling, pretreatment and detection operations can be carried out smoothly. It should be noted that the equipment of this embodiment integrates multiple steps such as collection, pretreatment and detection, and detects multiple samples simultaneously and continuously, with high detection efficiency, to form an uninterrupted detection of ambient air, thereby making the detection results more accurate.

[0066] The automated air sampling and detection device includes a plurality of modules that cooperate to realize the process of collecting, processing and detecting microorganisms or bioaerosols or atmospheric particulate matter in the air.

[0067] First, the collection module in the automated device for air sampling and detection is introduced. The collection module is arranged in the working chamber and fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 1. The collection module can be used to collect the air of the surrounding environment and collect substances in the air.

[0068] In this embodiment, the shell 100 reveals a collection port 45, and the collection module has a collection position. The collection port 45 is used to collect objects to be detected in the air. A sampling container 321 is placed in the collection position. The air processed by the collection module can collect the objects to be detected in the air in the sampling container 321.

[0069] Specifically, the collection module is an air sampling device 4, which includes a fan box 41, an air duct 42 and a centrifugal part 43. An air inlet 44 is provided on the side of the centrifugal part 43. Since the fan in the fan box 41 provides suction, air enters the air inlet 44 of the centrifugal part 43 from the collection port 45. Under the centrifugal action of the centrifugal part 43, microorganisms, bioaerosols or atmospheric particles in the air will enter the sampling container 321 from the collection hole 47 set at the bottom of the centrifugal part 43. It should be noted that the collection hole 47 is set at the bottom of the centrifugal part 43 and is set downward, and the sampling container 321 is abutted against the collection hole 47.

[0070] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the air sampling and detection automation device also includes a protective cover device 46, and the protective cover device 46 includes a protective cover body 461 and a cover body motor 462, and the cover body motor 462 can rotate and drive the protective cover body 461 to cover the collection port 45. Since the air sampling and detection automation device in this embodiment, after completing the collection action, avoids the external environment from continuously interfering with the air sampling and detection automation device, a protective cover device 46 is provided at the collection port 45, and the protective cover body 461 is driven to cover the collection port 45 by the cover body motor 462, thereby preventing other air from entering the collection module, thereby affecting the accuracy of the detection.

[0071] The second thing that needs to be introduced is the pretreatment module 3. The object to be detected in the aforementioned sampling container 321 cannot be detected directly, but needs to go through a certain process, add specific reagents and be processed before it can be detected in the detection module 7.

[0072] In this embodiment, the preprocessing module 3 includes a storage device 32 and a preprocessing device 31 .

[0073] The storage device 32 stores at least three reagents. Since three reagents are used in this embodiment, the three reagents are named as the first reagent, the second reagent and the third reagent respectively. However, it should be noted that the three reagents in this embodiment are all reagents required for ATP fluorescence detection.

[0074] Specifically, the storage device 32 is fixedly arranged on the mounting bracket 1, and the storage device 32 includes a first storage area 321, and the first storage area 321 stores a plurality of TIP heads for the pipetting module 6 to replace the TIP heads, so that the entire device can prevent the contamination of the reagent during the automated pipetting process, thereby affecting the detection result. The storage device 32 also includes a second storage area 322, and the second storage area 322 stores a sampling container 321, wherein the sampling container 321 is pre-added with a first reagent. The storage device 32 also includes a third storage area 323, and the third storage area 323 stores a second reagent and a third reagent, wherein the second reagent is contained in a second reagent bottle, and the second reagent bottle is provided with a second cover, and the third reagent is contained in the third reagent bottle, and the third reagent bottle is provided with a third cover. The setting of the cover can effectively prevent the volatilization and diffusion of the reagent.

One end of the container moving mechanism 312 is arranged on the pre-treatment position, and the other end is arranged on the collection position. The container moving mechanism 312 can drive the container holder 311 to move to the pre-treatment position or the collection position. The container lifting mechanism 313 is arranged on the collection position. When the container holder 311 moves to the collection position, the container lifting mechanism 313 lifts the container holder 311 so that the sampling container 321 in the container holder 311 rises to the collection module. The processing table 314 is arranged on the pre-treatment position. The container holder 311 is arranged on the container moving mechanism 312. The container holder 311 is provided with a receiving groove to accommodate the sampling container 321.

[0077] Specifically, the processing table 314 is provided with a first clamping portion 3141, the processing table 314 is provided with a first slide groove, and the first clamping portion 3141 can be slidably arranged in the first slide groove; the container support 311 is also provided with a second clamping portion 3116 and a second slide groove, and the second clamping portion 3116 can be slidably arranged in the second slide groove.

When the first clamping part 3141 clamps the reagent bottle, the second clamping part 3116 clamps the sampling container 321. In this way, the manipulator 5 with rotatable jaws can tighten or loosen the covers of the second reagent bottle, the third reagent bottle and the sampling container 321 in the pretreatment position.

[0078] The container moving mechanism 312 is a screw mechanism to drive the container holder 311 disposed on the screw mechanism to reciprocate between the pre-treatment position and the collection position. It should be noted that the collection position is also a top-lifting position, and the container lifting mechanism 313 is disposed near the top-lifting position. The container lifting mechanism 313 is provided with another set of screw mechanisms. The container lifting mechanism 313 is provided with an abutment portion extending toward the top-lifting position. The abutment portion can abut against the container holder 311 to move upward in the height direction, thereby causing the opening of the sampling container 321 in the container holder 311 to abut against the collection hole 47 of the centrifugal part 43.

[0079] Furthermore, the pipetting module 6 is arranged in the working chamber and installed on the mobile bracket 2, and the pipetting module 6 is used to move the first reagent, the second reagent and the third reagent. It should be noted that the pipetting module 6 has a pipette tip, and the pipette tip can be installed with a TIP head in the first storage area 321, and the pipetting module 6 is also provided with a push sleeve, and the push sleeve can move downward along the direction of the pipette tip, so that the TIP head arranged on the pipette tip falls off, and the pipette tip can be installed with a new TIP head.

[0080] The manipulator 5 is disposed in the working chamber and installed on the movable bracket 2. The sampling container 321 is provided with a first cover body. The manipulator 5 includes a rotatable clamping claw. The first cover body can be tightened or loosened by clamping the first cover body with the clamping claw and then rotating.

[0081] It should be noted that the mobile bracket 2 is a planar mobile mechanism, and the mobile bracket 2 includes two sets of screw mechanisms, and the movement directions of the two sets of screw mechanisms are perpendicular to each other. In order to make the space more compact, the screw and the motor are connected by a pulley, which reduces the length occupied by the screw mechanism in the space. Specifically, the mobile bracket 2 includes a horizontal moving mechanism and a mounting member connected to the horizontal moving mechanism; the mounting member is provided with a first horizontal moving mechanism 21 and a second horizontal moving mechanism 22, the pipetting module 6 is provided on the first horizontal moving mechanism 21, and the manipulator 5 is provided on the second horizontal moving mechanism 22.

[0082] Furthermore, the recycling module 8 is used to recycle reagent bottles, reagents, TIP heads and sampling containers 321, and the recycling module 8 includes a first waste box 81, a second waste box 82 and a third waste box 83 arranged on the mounting bracket 1; the first waste box 81 is arranged in the first storage area 321, and is used to recycle the used TIP heads; the second waste box 82 is arranged in the second storage area 322, and is used to recycle the used sampling containers 321; the third waste box 83 is arranged close to the detection module 7, and is used to recycle the reagent bottles after detection.

[0084] As for the detection module 7, in this embodiment, the detection module 7 includes an air detection mechanism 71 and an automatic flip cover device 72, the air detection mechanism 71 is provided with a receiving groove 73, and the automatic flip cover structure can be rotatably covered on the receiving groove 73, so that a sealed detection space is formed in the receiving groove 73; the air detection mechanism 71 can detect the object to be detected collected from the air by fluorescent labeling. Specifically, in this embodiment, the air detection mechanism 71 includes a photoelectric detection module 7 and a sample receiving structure, and the photoelectric detection module 7 includes an electric control board, an excitation light source and a photomultiplier tube, and the electric control board is electrically connected to the photomultiplier tube. The excitation light source irradiates the sample receiving structure, and the photoelectric detection module 7 collects the background value of the object to be detected in the sample receiving structure, thereby detecting the object to be detected.

[0085] The automatic cover flipping device 72 comprises a cover 721, a cover flipping motor 722, a return spring and a cover rod 723. The cover flipping motor 722 drives the cover rod 723 to rotate, thereby pushing the cover 721 to cover the air detection mechanism 71. The return of the cover 721 is achieved by the return spring.
