The novel coronavirus is a new strain of coronavirus that has never been found in humans before.

[0003] In the process of nucleic acid detection, it is necessary to transfer the solution to be tested and observe the solution to obtain the test results. Most existing transfer processes use a pipette to pick up the solution to be tested and transfer it to the detection chip for detection. However, this method requires a complex mechanical structure to support its implementation. Even if it is implemented, there is still a problem that the transfer process cannot effectively overcome the problem of process contamination.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Please see Figure 1-10 Example 1

[0038] A Raman enhanced spectroscopy fingerprint detection device for the novel coronavirus includes: a detection workbench 1, wherein the detection workbench 1 is a Raman detector workbench, and a table and chair for the person being tested are provided on the outside of the detection workbench 1, so that the person being tested can sit on the chair during the test; a support shell 2 is installed on the detection workbench 1, and a detection display mechanism 3 for detecting the novel coronavirus is installed inside the support shell 2; the detection display mechanism 3 uses the exhaled gas of the human body to detect the novel coronavirus in the gas and display it in a timely manner.

[0039] The test results show that the device 3 includes an antibody tank 31 installed inside the support housing 2, and the antibody tank 31 contains COVID-19 antibodies.

[0040] The top of the antibody liquid tank 31 is connected to a connecting tube 32, and the other end of the connecting tube 32 is connected to a transfer cylinder 33;

[0041] The intermediate transfer cylinder 33 is equipped with a filter mechanism 34, which includes a filter 341 installed inside the intermediate transfer cylinder 33. The filter 341 is used to filter the gas inside the intermediate transfer cylinder 33. The bottom of the intermediate transfer cylinder 33 is equipped with a connecting mechanism 35, which includes an inclined tube 351 whose bottom is connected to the intermediate transfer cylinder 33. The top of the inclined tube 351 is connected to an installation tube 352. The installation tube 352 is equipped with a switch closing mechanism 5, and the installation tube 352 passes through one side of the support housing 2. The switch closing mechanism 5 includes a closing shell 51 connected to one end of the installation tube 352, and the closing shell 51 is connected to the inclined tube 351.

[0042] The closed shell 51 has a closing block 52 inside, and a rubber pad 521 is provided on the outside of the closing block 52. The closing block 52 is connected to the inner wall of the closed shell 51 through the rubber pad 521 on the outside.

[0043] The top of the closing block 52 is provided with a threaded hole, and a lifting screw 53 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The top of the lifting screw 53 passes through the top of the closing shell 51, and the top of the closing shell 51 is provided with a driving component 54 for driving the lifting screw 53.

[0044] The drive unit 54 includes a micro motor 541 mounted on the top of the closed housing 51, and a first rotating gear 542 is fixedly connected to the output end of the micro motor 541. A second rotating gear 543 is meshed with the outer side of the first rotating gear 542, and the second rotating gear 543 is fixedly sleeved on the top of the lifting screw 53.

[0045] Specific implementation process: In this invention, when the tester blows gas into the transfer cylinder 33 using the air blowing tube 36, a pressure sensor is also provided inside the inclined tube 351 to detect the internal pressure. Subsequently, the micro motor 541 runs, further driving the first rotating gear 542 to drive the second rotating gear 543. While the second rotating gear 543 rotates, it drives the lifting screw 53 to rotate. While the lifting screw 53 rotates, it provides driving force to the closing block 52, further causing the closing block 52 to move down, thereby sealing the top of the inclined tube 351. After the Raman detection probe 37 completes the detection, the air purifier 391 is turned on, thereby purifying the air in the transfer cylinder 33 and the inclined tube 351.

[0046] One end of the air blowing pipe 36 is located inside the mounting pipe 352, and the connecting mechanism 35 is connected to the air blowing pipe 36;

[0047] A Raman detection probe 37 runs through the interior of the transfer cylinder 33, and the Raman detection probe 37 is electrically connected to a spectral fingerprint recognition and display 38 via a signal transmission line. An air purification mechanism 39 is provided on the top of the transfer cylinder 33. The air purification mechanism 39 includes an air purifier 391 installed inside the support housing 2, and a positioning tube 392 is installed on the air purifier 391. The air purifier 391 is connected to the top of the transfer cylinder 33 through the positioning tube 392, so that the positioning tube 392 purifies the gas inside the transfer cylinder 33 through the air purifier 391.

[0048] Specific implementation process: This invention utilizes human exhaled air. If it contains the novel coronavirus, it mixes with novel coronavirus antibodies within filter 341, capturing the virus and forming a viral molecular cluster with a unique spectral fingerprint. This molecular cluster, under laser beam irradiation, emits a special fingerprint spectrum, which is amplified millions of times. By comparing this spectrum with the spectral fingerprint stored in the instrument, it can be quickly determined whether or not it contains novel coronavirus molecular clusters. The detected human exhaled air is then absorbed and disinfected by the instrument's novel coronavirus sterilization and purification device before being cleanly discharged from the machine, as per the instruction manual. Figure 10 This is a Raman spectral fingerprint image.

[0049] The tube outlet mechanism 4 is used to replace the air blowing tube 36 at the detection display mechanism 3. The tube outlet mechanism 4 includes a support frame 41 located on the top of the detection workbench 1. A placement shell 42 is installed on the support frame 41, and a closing cover plate 43 is provided on the top of the placement shell 42.

[0050] The housing 42 contains multiple air blowing tubes 36. In this invention, the air blowing tubes 36 are disposable air blowing tubes 36. The bottom of the housing 42 is provided with a first outlet, and the bottom of the first outlet is slidably connected to an outlet plate 44. The outlet plate 44 is provided with a second outlet communicating with the first outlet. The bottom of the outlet plate 44 is slidably connected to a discharge plate 45, and the discharge plate 45 is provided with an opening. The support frame 41 is provided with a pusher 46 for driving the outlet plate 44. In this invention, the pusher 46 is preferably an electric push rod 461 mounted on the support frame 41. The outlet plate 44 can reciprocate relative to the bottom of the housing 42 by the telescopic movement of the output end of the electric push rod 461.

[0051] The bottom of the support frame 41 is equipped with a receiving plate 411 for receiving the falling air pipe 36, and one end of the receiving plate 411 is provided with a limiting protrusion.

[0052] Specific implementation process: When different people are being tested, since the air blowing pipe 36 is in contact with the mouth of the person being tested, after the previous person has finished using it, the used air blowing pipe 36 needs to be thrown into the trash can. At this time, by the operation of the pusher 46, the air blowing pipe 36 at the outlet plate 44 is further pushed to the opening of the discharge plate 45. Through the second outlet and the opening, it falls onto the receiving plate 411. The next person being tested then takes the air blowing pipe 36 that has fallen onto the receiving plate 411 and further inserts the air blowing pipe 36 into the installation pipe 352. The closing block 52 is then opened to blow gas into the transfer cylinder 33. Example 2

[0053] Based on Embodiment 1: The pusher 46 includes push screws 462 rotatably connected to both ends inside the support frame 41, and the two ends of the two outlet plates 44 are threaded onto the outside of the two push screws 462. A rotating gear 463 is fixedly connected to one end of the push screw 462 located outside the support frame 41, and a gear chain 464 is connected between the two rotating gears 463. A rotary motor 465 is mounted on the support frame 41 to drive the rotating gears 463. Further, the rotary motor 465 rotates forward and backward. The two rotating gears 463 rotate synchronously under the transmission of the gear chain 464, thereby causing the two push screws 462 to rotate synchronously. While the push screws 462 rotate, they provide driving force to the tube plate 44, which in turn enables the tube plate 44 to reciprocate between the placement shell 42 and the discharge plate 45. This allows the air blowing pipe 36, which has fallen to its second outlet, to be moved to the opening and then fall from the opening onto the receiving plate 411. This allows the air blowing pipe 36 to be replaced when different people are inspecting it.
