[0003] The existing microfluidic detection chip adopts a single-piece or multi-channel mode. When a single piece is used for detection, the detection efficiency is low, and the sample is wasted. The multi-channel mode is the mainstream detection mode. The main process is that the sample to be tested enters the chip from the sample inlet, flows along the microchannel inlet in the length direction of the main flow channel under the guidance of the driving part, and is guided to each microchannel and flows to the waste pool under the driving of the driving part. When a single microchannel is transported, corresponding air holes and suction ends need to be set to ensure the passage. Multiple detection units need to be set with multiple air holes for one-to-one communication. After the sample to be tested in the sample to be tested reacts with the substance in the detection unit, the sample to be tested is scanned and detected by an external scanner, and then flows into the waste pool for treatment.

[0004] However, in the multi-channel mode, the sample flow needs to be driven for detection.

[0053] The detection unit 13 comprises a reaction pool 131, a scanning pool 132 and a reaction channel 133; the reaction channel 133 sequentially connects the reaction pool 131, the scanning pool 132 and the waste liquid pool 12, and the scanning pool 132 is connected with the sensing end of the external sensor 4; the driving member is used to draw air to form negative pressure in the waste liquid pool 12; the chemical substance, such as freeze-dried reagent, exists in the reaction pool 131; the reaction channel 133 can adopt a serpentine channel S type or a U type channel, and the embodiment adopts the serpentine channel; after the liquid sample enters the reaction channel 133 under the negative pressure state through the first connecting channel 31, the liquid sample melts the freeze-dried reagent in the reaction pool 131 and mixes and reacts in the serpentine channel; after the liquid sample in the scanning pool 132 is detected by the sensor 4, the external driving member is stopped, the incubation time is counted, the scanning instrument is used to scan the scanning pool 132 to make the liquid sample fully react and obtain the detection result; finally, the liquid sample is driven by the external driving member to enter the waste liquid pool 12 for unified recovery.

[0054] The volume of each sample storage channel 2 is the same, so that the liquid sample in each sample storage channel 2 is the same after each sample storage channel 2 is filled under the first connecting path, so as to achieve the effect of equal detection and improve the detection accuracy.

[0055] The sample inlet channel 11, the first connecting channel 31, the second connecting channel 32, the sample storage channel 2 and the reaction channel 133 can all adopt a pipeline or a cavity; when the chip main body 11 is solid, a cavity can be adopted; when the chip main body 11 is hollow, a pipeline can be adopted.

[0056] The implementation principle of the embodiment 1 of the application comprises the following steps: after the first connecting channel 31 of the rotating assembly 3 is connected with the first connecting path, the air outlet 121 is drawn by the external driving member to make the liquid sample in the sample inlet channel 11 enter the first connecting path and be temporarily stored in all the sample storage channels 2; the rotating assembly 3 is rotated, the first connecting channel 31 is disconnected from the first connecting path, the second connecting channel 32 is connected with the second connecting path, the air inlet channel 33 is connected with the corresponding sample storage channel 2, the second connecting channel 32 connects the corresponding sample storage channel 2 with the liquid inlet of the corresponding detection unit 13, the air outlet 121 is drawn by the external driving member to form negative pressure, the liquid sample in the sample storage channel 2 flows into the detection unit 13 through the second connecting channel 32 for detection; after the detection is completed, the rotating assembly 3 can be continuously rotated to realize one-by-one delivery and distribution of the liquid sample in the sample storage channel 2, and only one air inlet channel 33 is needed to realize the switching path, so that multiple air inlet channels 33 are not needed, and errors and air pollution are reduced.

[0057] Embodiment 2

[0058] Reference Figure 4As shown, the embodiment 2 of the present application is optimized on the basis of the embodiment 1, and the optimization includes that the rotating assembly 3 further comprises a movable piece 34, an ejection piece 35 and a rotating valve 36; the movable piece 34 is installed on the chip body 1; the rotating valve 36 is movably connected with the movable piece 34, and the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32 are located in the rotating valve 36; the ejection piece 35 is slidably connected with the chip body 1 and is connected with the movable piece 34 in a socket manner. Since the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32 serve as intermediate connecting points, after the liquid sample is transported, the liquid sample will be stored in the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32, which results in the inconvenience in cleaning the liquid sample in the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32. Therefore, the insertion opening for the ejection piece 35 is formed on the movable piece 34. After the ejection piece 35 is inserted into the insertion opening, the rotating valve 36 is ejected until the connecting openings of the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32 are located outside the movable piece 34. Since the rotating valve 36 can rotate along the movable piece 34, the rotating valve 36 can be manually resisted and a force can be applied to the rotating valve 36 to make it rotate along the movable piece 34. During the rotation, the liquid sample in the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32 is affected by the centrifugal force and flows out of the connecting openings, so as to conveniently clean the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32.

[0059] In the embodiment, the ejection piece 35 can be a wedge-shaped block. When the wedge-shaped block slides along the chip body 1, it can be inserted into the movable piece 34 and eject the rotating valve 36 upward, so that the connecting openings of the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32 in the rotating valve 36 are exposed above the movable piece 34. Therefore, the rotating force can be manually applied to the liquid sample in the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32 to take out the liquid sample.

[0060] In the embodiment, the rotating assembly 3 further comprises a recovery piece 37; the recovery piece 37 is connected with the movable piece 34 and is located at the end of the movable piece 34 away from the chip body 1. Since the liquid sample in the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32 is affected by the centrifugal force and splashes around, which affects the surrounding environment, the recovery piece 37 is arranged on the movable piece 34. The recovery piece 37 has a ring structure and the height of the recovery piece 37 is higher than the position of the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32. Therefore, when the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32 are affected by the centrifugal force, the liquid sample splashes from the connecting openings and adheres to the recovery piece 37 due to the blockage of the recovery piece 37, so as to avoid the influence of the splashing liquid sample on the surrounding environment.

[0061] The recovery piece 37 is larger than the rotary valve 36 and has a recovery groove 371 inside; the recovery piece 37 is larger in size than the rotary valve 36, so that the recovery piece 37 can wrap the rotary valve 36, and the recovery groove 371 is used to make the liquid sample adhered to the inner wall of the recovery piece 3736 fall along the wall to the recovery groove 371, so as to be uniformly recovered and prevented from dripping to the chip main body 1.

[0062] The connection between the recovery piece 37 and the movable piece 34 is detachable connection; the detachable connection between the recovery piece 37 and the movable piece 34 can be clamping or screwing, and the clamping is taken as an example, a clamping block is arranged on the surface of the recovery piece 37, a clamping groove is arranged on the movable piece 34, the recovery piece 37 is clamped into the clamping groove through the clamping block, so as to be clamped, when the recovery piece 37 needs to be detached, the recovery piece 37 is pulled along the direction of the clamping groove, so that the recovery piece 37 can be separated from the adhered liquid sample.

[0063] The implementation principle of the embodiment 2 of the application includes: when the detection is finished, the liquid sample remaining in the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32 is inconvenient to process, so the ejector 35 is moved along the chip main body 11 to the rotary valve 36, and the rotary valve 36 is ejected from the movable piece 34, then force is applied to the rotary valve 36, so that the rotary valve 36 rotates along the movable piece 34, the centrifugal force generated in the rotating process of the rotary valve 36 throws the liquid sample in the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32 out, and adheres to the recovery piece 37, the liquid sample flows along the wall of the recovery piece 37 to the recovery groove 371 to be collected, when the collection is finished, the recovery piece 37 is detached from the movable piece 34 to be cleaned, and the ejector 35 is moved along the chip main body 1 to be separated from the rotary valve 36, so that the rotary valve 36 loses support, and then can be pushed back into the movable piece 34, so as to conveniently clean the liquid sample in the first connecting channel 31 and the second connecting channel 32.
