Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical equipment, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and non-volatile storage medium for controlling liquid suction by a diaphragm pump. Background Art

[0002] In in vitro detection equipment, magnetic separation technology is often used to extract target objects. In magnetic separation technology, corresponding reagents are used to wash the magnetic beads bound to specific markers. After washing, the magnetic beads are adsorbed on the wall of the reaction vessel, and the waste liquid after washing is sucked out by a suction pump. The mainstream suction pump is a peristaltic pump. Its advantage is that the suction precision control is precise, and its disadvantage is that the suction speed is slow and the cost is high. Although peristaltic pumps have the above-mentioned shortcomings, diaphragm pumps with low prices and fast suction speeds are rarely used on the market to replace peristaltic pumps. The reason is that the working principle of the diaphragm pump relies on the back and forth agitation of a diaphragm to change the volume of the working chamber to inhale and discharge liquid. Therefore, when the diaphragm pump absorbs liquid, it often forms a large negative pressure, forming a pulse, causing liquid disturbance in the reaction vessel, causing the magnetic beads to detach from the wall of the reaction vessel, thereby causing the loss of magnetic beads, and ultimately affecting the experimental results. In addition, the standard flow rate of the diaphragm pump allows a large error range. The error between the actual flow rate and the standard flow rate is between 90% and 110%. In in vitro diagnostic technology, the volume of the solution is often only a few microliters or a few milliliters. If a diaphragm pump is selected according to its nominal flow rate, there may be a large deviation between the nominal flow rate and the actual flow rate. Summary of the Invention

Through the above optional method, the technical effect of ensuring that the residual amount of liquid meets the requirements in the operation requirements when the diaphragm pump performs the liquid suction operation can be achieved, and the residual liquid in the test tube after the diaphragm pump performs the operation can be avoided.

[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described 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 making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for controlling a liquid suction operation is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0029] In in vitro detection equipment, magnetic separation technology is often used to extract target objects. In magnetic separation technology, corresponding reagents are used to wash the magnetic beads bound to specific markers. After washing, the magnetic beads are adsorbed on the wall of the reaction vessel, and the waste liquid after washing is sucked out by a suction pump. The mainstream suction pump is a peristaltic pump. Its advantage is that the suction precision control is precise, and its disadvantage is that the suction speed is slow and the cost is high. Although peristaltic pumps have the above-mentioned shortcomings, diaphragm pumps with low prices and fast suction speeds are rarely used on the market to replace peristaltic pumps. The reason is that the working principle of the diaphragm pump relies on the back and forth agitation of a diaphragm to change the volume of the working chamber to inhale and discharge liquid. Therefore, when the diaphragm pump absorbs liquid, it often forms a large negative pressure, forming a pulse, causing liquid disturbance in the reaction vessel, causing the magnetic beads to detach from the wall of the reaction vessel, thereby causing the loss of magnetic beads, and ultimately affecting the experimental results. Diaphragm pumps have poor aspiration accuracy. When using a diaphragm pump for aspiration, it's often found that the pump doesn't achieve the required aspiration power, or its actual power far exceeds the required aspiration power. Underachieving this power can lead to incomplete aspiration, affecting the results of the next experiment; excessive aspiration power can cause disturbances, leading to bead loss and affecting experimental values. Furthermore, for different liquid volumes, even slight differences between, say, 400µL and 600µL, the aspiration speed requirements vary. However, diaphragm pumps are characterized by low precision (factory standards typically set them at 90%-110% of the maximum flow rate) and poor control (flow rate control can be achieved by adjusting the PWM pulse width, but this results in pulsed fluctuations). This makes direct aspiration speed control difficult. Therefore, diaphragm pumps struggle to meet the requirements for high-precision aspiration, making them unsuitable for high-precision aspiration.

[0030] The present invention provides a control method for liquid aspiration by a diaphragm pump, which is used to support the diaphragm pump to accurately aspirate liquid in a test tube, thereby meeting the liquid aspiration accuracy requirement for the magnetic separation process step in the enzymatic chemiluminescence technology. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling liquid suction by a diaphragm pump according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0031] Step S102 : determining a driving power range of a diaphragm pump used in the liquid suction operation according to a target liquid flow rate required for the liquid suction operation.

[0032] The liquid aspiration operation involves precisely aspirating liquid from a test tube. This type of operation requires high performance. Directly connecting the diaphragm pump to the power supply to aspirate the liquid from the test tube cannot guarantee that the aspiration process will meet the requirements of this liquid aspiration operation, as the actual power of the diaphragm pump fluctuates significantly compared to the nominal power. The target flow rate for this liquid aspiration operation is the maximum flow rate required to aspirate the liquid in this operation. For example, the volume of liquid in a test tube may range from 100μl to 800μl. Clearly, the greater the volume of liquid, the greater the flow rate required to aspirate the liquid within the specified time. Therefore, the target flow rate corresponding to 800μl is the target flow rate required for this liquid aspiration operation.

[0033] The driving power range of a diaphragm pump refers to the power range within which the diaphragm pump can be driven to complete the suction work. For example, if the actual power of the diaphragm pump is insufficient, the diaphragm pump may not work at all. Only when the actual power of the diaphragm pump exceeds a certain threshold, such as more than half of the nominal power of the diaphragm pump, can the diaphragm pump start working. The actual power of the diaphragm pump at this time is determined as the lower limit of the driving power range of the diaphragm pump.

[0034] As an optional embodiment, the driving power range of the diaphragm pump used in the liquid suction operation can be determined by the following steps: determining the flow margin value based on the liquid target flow and flow margin ratio required for the liquid suction operation, wherein the flow margin ratio is greater than 1; determining the diaphragm pump based on the flow margin value, wherein the nominal flow of the diaphragm pump matches the flow margin value; measuring the first power corresponding to the minimum flow of the diaphragm pump; measuring the second power corresponding to the maximum flow of the diaphragm pump, wherein the second power is the floating lower limit of the nominal flow of the diaphragm pump; and determining the driving power range based on the first power and the second power.

[0035] In this optional embodiment, a diaphragm pump can be matched for the liquid suction operation first, and then the drive power range of the diaphragm pump can be examined. Optionally, the diaphragm pump can be matched based on its nominal flow rate and flow margin ratio. The flow margin ratio can be selected as 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.35, etc. The specific flow margin ratio can be determined based on factors such as the suction operation environment and the total amount of liquid to be sucked. This is to avoid the situation where the diaphragm pump's maximum actual flow rate fails to reach its nominal flow rate, resulting in an inability to complete the liquid suction operation. This problem arises because diaphragm pumps are not designed for high-precision liquid suction operations, and therefore their actual flow rate and nominal flow rate often deviate. It should be noted that the term "margin" in this optional embodiment means that the nominal flow rate of the matched diaphragm pump is greater than the target flow rate required for the liquid suction operation, so that the matched diaphragm pump does not face the pressure of insufficient flow when handling the liquid suction operation. The flow margin ratio represents the ratio between the maximum flow rate that the diaphragm pump can actually provide and the maximum flow rate required for the liquid suction operation. In this step, a flow margin value can be determined first, and this value is greater than the target liquid flow rate. Then, a diaphragm pump with a nominal flow rate that matches this flow margin value is selected to ensure that the diaphragm pump does not have an actual maximum flow rate that is insufficient.

[0036] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a diaphragm pump control circuit according to an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, R1 and R2 are resistors, Q1 is a MOS tube, D1 is a diode, and J1 is a 2-pin interface; the diaphragm pump is connected to J1, and the microcontroller controls the opening and closing of the diaphragm pump and the energy power provided to the diaphragm pump through the signal "CTRL1".

[0037] As an optional implementation, you can first calculate the maximum flow rate required for the liquid suction operation, that is, calculate the target liquid flow rate, and select a diaphragm pump with a nominal flow rate that exceeds the maximum required flow rate by a margin of A%. (If the diaphragm pump range is too large, it may cause flow pulsation when the diaphragm pump is operating at low flow rates. If the diaphragm pump range is too small, the suction effect will not be achieved.) A% can be selected as 20%. For example, if the required maximum instantaneous flow rate is 2000 μL / s (i.e., 120 mL / min), the nominal flow rate of the matching diaphragm pump is selected based on 120*(1+20%)=144. Therefore, a diaphragm pump with a nominal flow rate between 140-150 mL / min can be selected.

[0038] Furthermore, the diaphragm pump powers corresponding to the maximum flow rate and minimum flow rate of the diaphragm pump can be measured in turn, wherein the maximum flow rate of the diaphragm pump is the maximum flow rate that the diaphragm pump can provide under normal working conditions; the minimum flow rate of the diaphragm pump is the energy power provided to the diaphragm pump that is gradually increased from the power at which the diaphragm pump cannot normally absorb liquid until the diaphragm pump just starts to absorb liquid. At this time, the liquid suction flow rate provided by the diaphragm pump is the minimum flow rate, and the power of the diaphragm pump is the first power.

[0039] As an optional implementation, the process of obtaining the driving power range of the diaphragm pump may not focus on whether the suction flow rate reaches stability. The driving power value corresponding to the minimum flow rate L_1 is the first power, which can be recorded as P_1. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of determining the corresponding relationship between flow and power according to an optional embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when you want to calibrate the correspondence between the actual flow rate and actual power of a diaphragm pump, you can first determine a flow rate to be calibrated, then drive the diaphragm pump to suck liquid, record the power of the diaphragm pump at this time as P_S, then measure the current suction flow rate, record it as L_C, compare L_C and L_S, if the two are equal, then the power value of the diaphragm pump corresponding to the flow rate to be calibrated L_S is P_S; if L_C and L_S are not equal, you can increase or decrease P_S and re-measure the suction flow rate until L_C and L_S are equal. Repeating the above process can establish a correspondence between the driving power range of the diaphragm pump and the flow range of the diaphragm pump (the range between the minimum flow rate and the maximum flow rate of the diaphragm pump).

[0040] Alternatively, the relationship K between the flow rate and power output of the diaphragm pump can be determined as follows: first, the flow output range of the diaphragm pump (the range between the minimum flow rate and the maximum flow rate of the diaphragm pump) is determined to be: L_1 to L_2, and the driving power range of the diaphragm pump is determined to be: P_1 to P_2, where the driving power value corresponding to the maximum flow rate L_2 is the second power, which can be recorded as P_2. Based on the linear relationship assumption, the relationship between the flow rate and power output can be determined as: Furthermore, when the diaphragm pump is actually used to perform a liquid suction operation, if the liquid suction operation requires a flow rate L′, it can be determined that the flow rate requirement can be met by adjusting the power output of the diaphragm pump to K*L′.

[0041] Step S104, obtain the operation parameters of the liquid absorption operation, wherein the operation parameters include: the range of the amount of liquid to be absorbed, the operation duration, and the threshold value of the residual liquid volume. The range of the amount of liquid to be absorbed can be determined according to the actual application requirements. For example, if the range of the amount of liquid that may be stored in the test tube to be absorbed in different experimental scenarios is 100μl to 800μl, then the range of the amount of liquid to be absorbed for this liquid absorption operation is 100μl to 800μl. The operation duration indicates that the liquid absorption operation is required to be completed within this time. The threshold value of the residual liquid volume indicates the maximum amount of liquid remaining in the test tube after the liquid absorption operation is completed. The operation parameters can be used to indicate the precise requirements of the operation.

[0042] Step S106 determines the actual power range for the liquid suction operation within the drive power range based on the operating parameters. Due to the operating parameters, the diaphragm pump cannot be used arbitrarily for liquid suction operations; otherwise, the required operation duration or residual liquid volume may not be met. Therefore, this step selects an actual power range within the drive power range that meets the operating parameters. If the diaphragm pump performs the liquid suction operation using power within this actual power range, the aforementioned operating parameters can be met.

[0043] As an optional embodiment, according to the operation parameters, the actual power range of the liquid absorption operation is determined within the driving power range, including: during the operation time, controlling the diaphragm pump to use a first power to absorb the first liquid in the test tube, and determining the residual amount of the first liquid in the test tube, wherein the liquid amount of the first liquid in the test tube is the minimum value in the absorption liquid amount range; when the residual amount of the first liquid in the test tube is greater than the residual amount threshold, gradually increasing the power of the diaphragm pump and repeating the above-mentioned absorption of the first liquid operation until a third power is obtained, wherein when the diaphragm pump is controlled to use the third power to absorb the first liquid, the residual amount of the first liquid in the test tube is less than or equal to at a residual amount threshold; within the operation time, controlling the diaphragm pump to adopt a first power to absorb the second liquid in the test tube, and determining the residual amount of the second liquid in the test tube, wherein the amount of the second liquid in the test tube is the maximum value in the absorption amount range; when the residual amount of the second liquid in the test tube is greater than the residual amount threshold, gradually increasing the power of the diaphragm pump and repeating the above-mentioned operation of absorbing the second liquid until a fourth power is obtained, wherein when the diaphragm pump is controlled to adopt the fourth power to absorb the second liquid, the residual amount of the second liquid in the test tube is less than or equal to the residual amount threshold, and the fourth power is less than the second power; determining the actual power range according to the third power and the fourth power.

[0044] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of determining the third power based on the residual amount of liquid according to an optional embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4As shown, the liquid volume of the first liquid corresponding to the liquid suction operation is the minimum value in the suction liquid volume range, and the residual volume threshold of this time is set to C1. Then, the diaphragm pump can be driven to suck liquid with the power P_1 first. After the suction time reaches the operation time, the residual liquid volume in the test tube is weighed. If the residual liquid volume is greater than C1, it means that the suction force of the diaphragm pump is insufficient, and the suction power needs to be increased. The first liquid is refilled into the test tube, and then the first liquid is repeatedly sucked with the increased suction power and the residual liquid volume is weighed until the residual volume is less than C1. In the above process, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the suction power is greater than P_2. If it is greater than P_2, it means that the maximum power of the diaphragm pump cannot meet the suction requirements, and a diaphragm pump with a larger nominal power needs to be replaced.

[0045] Based on the above process, it is possible to determine that the minimum liquid suction volume V_1 corresponds to an output power range of P_3 to P_2, and that the maximum liquid suction volume V_2 corresponds to an output power range of P_4 to P_2, where P_3 represents the third power and P_4 represents the fourth power. The power output range of the diaphragm pump corresponding to the liquid suction volumes V_1 to V_2 is P_3 to P_4 (i.e., the range between the third power and the fourth power). In the above process, the output power range P_3 to P_2 corresponding to the minimum liquid suction volume V_1 indicates that when the output power of the diaphragm pump performing the liquid suction operation is within the range of P_3 to P_2, the residual liquid amount of the liquid after the minimum liquid suction volume V_1 is ensured to be less than the residual amount threshold C1. The output power range P_4 to P_2 corresponding to the maximum liquid suction volume V_2 indicates that when the output power of the diaphragm pump performing the liquid suction operation is within the range of P_4 to P_2, the residual liquid amount of the liquid after the maximum liquid suction volume V_2 is ensured to be less than the residual amount threshold C1. Therefore, for liquid with a volume within the range of V_1 to V_2, the diaphragm pump is used to perform a suction operation thereon and the power range of the diaphragm pump required to ensure the residual volume of the liquid is from the third power P_3 to the fourth power P_4.

[0046] As an optional embodiment, the determining the actual power range according to the third power P_3 and the fourth power P_4 can include the following process: in the case that the operation parameter of the liquid suction operation includes a magnetic bead loss rate threshold value, the diaphragm pump is controlled to suck the first liquid in the test tube by the fourth power P_4 within the operation time length, and the magnetic bead loss rate after the first liquid is sucked is determined; in the case that the magnetic bead loss rate after the first liquid is sucked is greater than the magnetic bead loss rate threshold value, the power of the diaphragm pump is gradually reduced and the above-mentioned operation of sucking the first liquid is repeated until the fifth power P_5 is obtained, wherein the magnetic bead loss rate after the diaphragm pump is controlled to suck the first liquid by the fifth power P_5 is less than or equal to the magnetic bead loss rate threshold value, and the fifth power P_5 is greater than or equal to the third power P_3; the diaphragm pump is controlled to suck the second liquid in the test tube by the fourth power P_4 within the operation time length, and the magnetic bead loss rate after the second liquid is sucked is determined; in the case that the magnetic bead loss rate after the second liquid is sucked is greater than the magnetic bead loss rate threshold value, the power of the diaphragm pump is gradually reduced and the above-mentioned operation of sucking the second liquid is repeated until the sixth power P_6 is obtained, wherein the magnetic bead loss rate after the diaphragm pump is controlled to suck the second liquid by the sixth power P_6 is less than or equal to the magnetic bead loss rate threshold value, and the sixth power P_6 is greater than the third power P_3; and the actual power range is determined according to the fifth power P_5 and the sixth power P_5 (that is, the actual power range is P_5 to P_6).

[0047] The optional embodiment provides a method for further refining the actual power range of the diaphragm pump according to the magnetic bead loss rate. In the magnetic separation process in the enzymatic chemiluminescence technology, if the liquid suction power of the diaphragm pump is too large, the magnetic bead loss rate may be too large, the magnetic beads may be lost too much, and the determination of the experimental value may be affected. Therefore, in the case that the operation parameter limits the threshold value of the magnetic bead loss rate, the available power range of the diaphragm pump can be further limited, the diaphragm pump power range meeting the requirements of the operation parameter in terms of both the liquid residual amount and the magnetic bead loss rate can be taken as the actual power range of the diaphragm pump, and the diaphragm pump can accurately complete the liquid suction operation based on the actual power range.

[0048] Figure 5 is a flowchart of determining the fifth power based on the liquid residual amount according to the optional embodiment of the present application, and the method can further accurately determine the power output of the diaphragm pump according to the magnetic bead loss rate, Figure 5 C_min in the formula represents the magnetic bead loss rate threshold value, and the power gradient value P_rate represents the power unit change amount when the power of the diaphragm pump is gradually reduced when it is found that the magnetic bead loss rate is greater than the magnetic bead loss rate threshold value. It can be understood that the method of determining the fifth power P_5 can also be used to determine the sixth power P_6.

[0049] Optionally, this step is tested with real magnetic beads. For the minimum aspirated liquid volume V_1 and the maximum aspirated liquid volume V_2 (for example, the aspirated liquid volume range is 100 μL to 800 μL), the following equation can be used: Figure 5 The method shown is used to measure the minimum liquid volume V_1 corresponding to the output power range P_3 to P_5; Figure 5 The same method can be used to determine the output power range P_3 to P_6 corresponding to the maximum liquid suction volume V_2; then the corresponding power output of the liquid suction flow rates V_1 to V_2 is P_5 to P_6 (the range between the fifth power and the sixth power).

[0050] Step S108 : determining a target buffer according to the driving power range of the diaphragm pump, wherein the target buffer is used to buffer the pulse fluctuation of the diaphragm pump; and setting the target buffer at the suction end of the diaphragm pump.

[0051] The target buffer can be called a buffer or a buffer block. A buffer is essentially a cavity that can be connected in series with a pipeline to stabilize the flow of a diaphragm pump. Optionally, the buffer block can be installed between the suction point and the diaphragm pump pipeline, close to the diaphragm pump to achieve the best pulse buffering effect.

[0052] The relationship between the volume of the buffer and flow stability is as follows: the larger the buffer volume, the more stable the diaphragm pump's flow; however, the suction response speed will be slower. The smaller the buffer volume, the faster the diaphragm pump's suction response, but the less stable the flow. Therefore, choosing a buffer is essentially choosing the buffer volume. There are generally two types of buffers: block-shaped buffers, with adjustable volume, such as cubes, rectangles, and spheres; and ring-shaped buffers, with adjustable ring length, essentially making the pipeline resemble a "spring." The buffer's buffer space is adjustable; the buffer can be cubed or rectangular, and in this case, a sliding block can be installed on the buffer, which can be moved according to the required buffer volume. Spherical buffers have a retractable block.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, the target buffer is determined according to the driving power range of the diaphragm pump, including: setting a first number of initial buffers at the suction end of the diaphragm pump, wherein the diameter of the initial buffer is the first diameter; while controlling the diaphragm pump to perform the suction operation using the minimum value in the driving power range, performing the following test: testing whether the liquid flow is smooth when the diaphragm pump absorbs liquid through the first number of initial buffers while gradually increasing the first number, until the liquid flow reaches a smooth state when the diaphragm pump absorbs liquid through the second number of initial buffers; subtracting a predetermined number from the second number to obtain a third number; testing whether the liquid flow is smooth when the diaphragm pump absorbs liquid through a third number of test buffers while gradually increasing the diameter of the test buffer, until the liquid flow reaches a smooth state when the diaphragm pump absorbs liquid through a third number of test buffers of the second diameter, wherein the initial value of the diameter of the test buffer is the first diameter; determining the target buffer, wherein the target buffer includes a third number of buffers with a diameter of the second diameter.

[0054] Alternatively, the predetermined number can be determined based on the size of the second number. When the second number is small, the predetermined number can be a smaller value, such as 1; when the second number is large, the predetermined number can be a larger value, such as multiplying the second number by a percentage to obtain the predetermined number. This approach is based on the fact that if the second number is large, it indicates that the volume of the single buffer equipped for the diaphragm pump is too small. The buffering effect of a smaller number does not meet the required performance, necessitating the connection of a larger number of buffers to achieve the desired buffering effect. Connecting too many buffers to the suction end of the diaphragm pump will result in excessive buffer length, affecting wiring layout and causing inconvenience at the test site. If the second number is small, subtracting a larger number from the predetermined number would require increasing the diameter of the remaining buffers to a very large size to meet the buffering requirements, which is obviously unreasonable. Therefore, as an alternative embodiment, the specific value of the predetermined number can be determined by setting a buffer number threshold: when the second number is not greater than the buffer number threshold, the predetermined number is set to 1; when the second number is greater than the buffer number threshold, the second number is multiplied by a percentage to obtain the predetermined number. In this way, a balance can be achieved between the number and diameter of the buffers to determine a reasonable buffer solution for the diaphragm pump.

[0055] As an optional implementation method, this solution provides a simple buffer block model and provides an adjustment solution based on this model. Figure 6 Schematic diagram of a method for screening a target buffer according to an optional embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6As shown, this solution can use a spiral series connection method, using multiple spiral tubes connected in series as the target buffer. First, obtain the parameters of the basic spiral tube J_l: diameter d_1, length l_1, and the volume of a single basic spiral tube V_1. Then, determine the iterative update parameter B, which represents the arithmetic resolution of the spiral tube diameter (which can be selected based on actual conditions).

[0056] Connect several basic spiral tubes J_1 in series to a pipeline. Use power P_1 to start a diaphragm pump to perform a suction test and observe whether the flow rate is smooth. If not, increase the number of basic spiral tubes in the pipeline by 1 each time and repeat the test until the flow rate in the pipeline reaches a smooth state. It should be noted that the standard for a smooth flow rate in the pipeline can be determined as follows: the liquid in the pipeline does not experience pulsation and the water flow in the pipeline can be maintained continuously.

[0057] At this point, the buffer selection scheme can be further optimized. If the flow in the pipeline reaches a steady state in the previous step, the number of basic spiral tubes at this time can be reduced by n (for example, by 1), and the number of spiral tubes at this time can be recorded as N1. Then, the diaphragm pump can be started with power P_1 to perform a liquid suction test to observe whether the pipeline flow reaches a steady state. If it does not reach a steady state, the diameter of the spiral tube can be increased by B. Repeat the above test until the pipeline flow reaches a steady state. The spiral tube diameter at this time is recorded as D. This can determine a set of optimal target buffer combinations, that is, using a buffer spiral tube with a number N1 and a diameter D as the target buffer.

[0058] At this point, V_X can represent the total volume of the final spiral tube, N1 represents the number of spiral tubes, l represents the length of the spiral tube, and D represents the diameter of the spiral tube. V_X = N1*π(D / 2) 2 *(N1*l_1); generally, the volume of the current spiral tube will not be larger than the volume of the number of basic spiral tubes plus 1, that is, n*V_1>(n-1)*V_X is guaranteed, where V_1 represents the volume of the basic spiral tube and n represents the second number.

[0059] Step S110 , controlling the diaphragm pump to perform a liquid suction operation using a target power within an actual power range.

[0060] Optionally, the target power can be determined as follows: Based on the minimum flow rate L_1 of the diaphragm pump, the first power P_1 corresponding to the minimum flow rate L_1, the maximum flow rate L_2 of the diaphragm pump, and the second power P_2 corresponding to the maximum flow rate L_2, the relationship between the flow rate of the diaphragm pump and the driving power output within the actual power range is determined as follows: The target power is determined as K*L' based on the liquid suction flow rate L' of the liquid suction operation, wherein the liquid suction flow rate L' of the liquid suction operation represents the liquid suction flow rate required for a specific operation in the liquid suction operation.

[0061] By the above steps, by acquiring the operation parameters of the liquid suction operation, and matching the actual working state of the diaphragm pump according to the operation parameters of the liquid suction operation, the purpose of controlling the diaphragm pump to accurately perform the liquid suction operation is achieved, thereby realizing the technical effect of providing a high-precision diaphragm pump scheme for the liquid suction operation, and further solving the technical problem of lacking a diaphragm pump scheme for performing a liquid suction operation with high precision in the related art.

[0062] Figure 7 is a flowchart of a liquid suction operation control method according to an optional embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 The liquid suction operation control method can include the following steps:

[0063] Step 1, the diaphragm pump can be determined according to the liquid target flow required by the liquid suction operation and the flow margin ratio, the maximum flow required by the liquid suction operation can be calculated first, i.e. the liquid target flow is calculated, and the diaphragm pump with a nominal flow greater than the maximum required flow A% margin is selected, i.e. the nominal flow of the diaphragm pump = liquid target flow*(1+A%).

[0064] Step 2, determine the driving power value P_1 corresponding to the minimum flow L_1 of the diaphragm pump, and determine the driving power value P_2 corresponding to the maximum flow L_2 of the diaphragm pump.

[0065] Step 3, determine the relationship K between the flow and the driving power output of the diaphragm pump, for example

[0066] Step 4, select a suitable target buffer and add the target buffer to the liquid suction pipeline to adjust the flow stability, the volume of the target buffer can be V_X=N1*π(D / 2) 2 *(N1*l_1).

[0067] Step 5, according to the liquid suction residual amount threshold C1 and the liquid suction range V_1 to V_2, determine the power output range of the diaphragm pump to be P_3 to P_4, so that the liquid amount in the test tube between V_1 to V_2 can be sucked by the power between P_3 to P_4, and the residual amount of the liquid after suction is less than the residual amount threshold C1;

[0068] Step 6, according to the magnetic bead loss rate requirement of the liquid suction operation, determine the actual power range P_5 to P_6 between the power output range P_3 to P_4 of the diaphragm pump, so that the magnetic bead loss rate of the test tube when the liquid suction operation is performed by the power between P_5 to P_6 can be not greater than the magnetic bead loss rate threshold;

[0069] Step 7: Control the diaphragm pump to use a power between P_5 and P_6 to perform the liquid suction operation.

[0070] The above optional implementation has the following advantages: by correcting the accuracy of the diaphragm pump, the actual output power of the diaphragm pump is determined according to the relationship between the real power and flow of the diaphragm pump, thereby improving the suction accuracy of the diaphragm pump; the buffer room is set according to the liquid suction speed of the diaphragm pump, and the size of the buffer room is adjusted to make the suction flow rate stable; when there are multiple suction components, the power value of each suction channel can be adjusted according to actual needs, so that the suction flow rate of each suction channel can be consistent, or the suction flow rates of different suction channels can be different, and the control is more precise.
