Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sample processing equipment technology, specifically relating to a sample processing equipment mechanism for a fully automated mass spectrometry detection pipeline. Background Technology

[0002] Mass spectrometry is a technique for identifying compounds by preparing, separating, and detecting gaseous ions. It plays a very important role in the identification of organic molecules. A fully automated mass spectrometry detection line is an automated mass spectrometry detection device composed of sample processing equipment, ion source, mass analyzer, detector, and data processing system. It has the advantages of high detection accuracy and high detection efficiency.

[0003] Among them, sample processing equipment is a type of equipment used for qualitative or quantitative analysis of patients' body fluid samples (sputum, blood, urine). It is mainly used for adding internal standard solutions, pipetting, blowing sputum, and mixing. When using sample processing equipment, the centrifuge tube carrier or 96-well plate after pipetting needs to be shaken and mixed and incubated with heat to facilitate a full and effective reaction between the sample and reagents.

[0004] Since the same sample cup needs to be centrifuged multiple times during sample processing, the existing technology mainly uses manual mixing to mix the samples. Manual mixing is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to errors in mixing speed and temperature, which prevents the samples and reagents from effectively separating into layers. This affects the accuracy of the test results and reduces the effectiveness of the sample processing equipment.

[0005] Therefore, in order to address the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a sample processing device mechanism for a fully automated mass spectrometry detection pipeline. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sample processing device mechanism for a fully automated mass spectrometry detection line, so as to solve the problem that the above-mentioned sample processing devices have poor sample processing effect.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, an embodiment of the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A sample processing device mechanism for a fully automated mass spectrometry detection line includes: a base, a carrier frame, a carrier transport mechanism, a load-bearing limiting mechanism, and a centrifugal transport mechanism.

[0009] A vehicle frame is connected to one side of the base.

[0010] The vehicle transport mechanism is located on the side of the base close to the vehicle frame. The vehicle transport mechanism includes a transport fixing frame. A lead screw nut is fixedly connected to one side of the transport fixing frame. A lifting lead screw is internally threaded into the lead screw nut. A limiting support plate is provided above the transport fixing frame. A pair of vehicle limiting blocks are connected to the side of the limiting support plate away from the transport fixing frame. A transport platform is provided between the pair of vehicle limiting blocks. The transport platform is slidably connected to the limiting support plate. A linkage fixing block is fixedly connected above the transport platform. A swing arm is slidably connected to the linkage fixing block. A swing motor is drivenly connected to the end of the swing arm away from the linkage fixing block.

[0011] The load-bearing limiting mechanism is located on the side of the transport fixing frame away from the carrier frame. The load-bearing limiting mechanism includes a carrier limiting frame, which is used to support various workstation carriers.

[0012] The centrifugal transport mechanism is located on the side of the carrier limiting frame away from the transport fixing frame. The centrifugal transport mechanism includes a centrifugal transport frame, an assembly support frame below the centrifugal transport frame, a negative pressure limiting frame on the side of the assembly support frame close to the carrier limiting frame, and multiple evenly distributed transport nozzles connected below the negative pressure limiting frame. A pipetting transport frame is located on the side of the centrifugal transport frame away from the carrier limiting frame, a fixed support plate is located below the pipetting transport frame, and a suction pen is located on the side of the fixed support plate away from the centrifugal transport frame.

[0013] Furthermore, a screw fixing frame is rotatably connected to the outer side of the lifting screw, and the transport fixing frame is slidably connected to the screw fixing frame. The screw fixing frame supports and fixes the lifting screw. Simultaneously, the screw fixing frame guides the movement of the transport fixing frame. A lifting motor is connected to one side of the screw fixing frame. The lifting motor provides power, driving the lifting screw to rotate by controlling its operation. A first transmission wheel is connected to the output shaft of the screw fixing frame, and a second transmission wheel is connected to the end of the lifting screw located outside the screw fixing frame. A transmission toothed belt connects the first and second transmission wheels. The interaction of the first and second transmission wheels and the transmission toothed belt provides a transmission connection between the lifting screw and the output shaft of the lifting motor.

[0014] Furthermore, a translational fixing plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the lead screw fixing frame. The translational fixing plate supports and fixes the lead screw fixing frame. A translational limiting seat is provided below the translational fixing plate, and the translational fixing plate is slidably connected to the translational limiting seat. The translational limiting seat supports and guides the movement of the translational fixing plate. A translational lead screw is rotatably connected inside the translational limiting seat, and the translational fixing plate is threadedly connected to the translational lead screw. By controlling the rotation of the translational lead screw, the translational limiting seat rotates with the rotation of the translational lead screw under the action of the internal and external threads, thereby facilitating the movement control of the translational fixing plate. A third transmission wheel is connected to one end of the translational lead screw located on the translational fixing plate. The third transmission wheel drives the rotation of the translational lead screw.

These slots provide installation space for the connecting springs and also guide the movement of the lifting motor. Each pair of clearance slots contains a connecting spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the transport platform. The connecting springs act as a limiting element in the connection between the rotating ejector and the transport platform.

[0017] The other end of the connecting spring is connected to a rotating ejector. This facilitates the lifting of the sampling tray stored on the transport platform by rotating the ejector. Ejection pulleys are connected to both sides of the rotating ejector. The rolling of the ejection pulleys improves the smoothness of lifting the sampling tray. A limit slider is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating ejector, and the limit slider is fixedly connected to a limit support plate. This allows the limit slider to support and limit the rotating ejector. A movable slide rail is slidably connected to the limit slider, and the movable slide rail is fixedly connected to the transport platform. The movable slide rail guides the movement of the limit slider.

Electrically driven lifting screws connect the centrifuge transport rack and the assembly support frame, as well as the pipette transport rack and the fixed support plate. These screws provide connection, limiting, and vertical lifting movement for the centrifuge transport rack and the assembly support frame, and the pipette transport rack and the fixed support plate.

[0020] Furthermore, an electric lifting rod connects the negative pressure limiting frame to the assembly support frame. The negative pressure limiting frame is equipped with multiple evenly distributed vacuum valves, all of which are connected to the transport suction nozzle. This facilitates the generation of a transport negative pressure by the vacuum valves.

[0021] Furthermore, a pen-drawing rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the pen. The pen-drawing rotating shaft supports and fixes the pen and drives its rotation. One end of the pen-drawing rotating shaft is connected to a fifth transmission wheel. The fifth transmission wheel drives the pen-drawing rotating shaft. A rotary motor is located above the fifth transmission wheel. The rotary motor provides power, facilitating the rotation of a sixth transmission wheel by controlling its operation. The output end of the rotary motor is connected to the sixth transmission wheel, and a synchronous toothed belt connects the rotary motor and the sixth transmission wheel.

[0022] Furthermore, a first sliding fixing plate is fixedly connected to the side of the rotary motor close to the second sliding fixing plate.

The lifting motor 211 is controlled to lift the transport fixing frame 201. When it is necessary to transport the vehicle stored on the vehicle rack 101, the lifting motor 211 is controlled to move the transport fixing frame 201 to a certain height. Then, the limit support plate 204 is rotated to align with the vehicle rack 101. Subsequently, the lifting motor 211 and the translation motor 219 control the limit support plate 204 to move horizontally and vertically to carry and transport the vehicle on the vehicle rack 101.

[0072] When the carrier moves to the transport position of the carrier limit frame 301 under the action of the limit support plate 204, the operation of the swing motor 209 is controlled to cause the linkage fixing block 207 to move along with the swing arm 208 and the transport platform 206. The carrier on the transport platform 206 is moved by the horizontal movement of the transport platform 206 and the linkage fixing block 207. During the movement of the transport platform 206, the rotating ejector 221 is ejected along with the movement of the transport platform 206 under the cooperation of the connecting spring 220, the limit slider 223 and the moving slide rail 224. The ejection of the rotating ejector 221 lifts the carrier on the transport platform 206, making it easier to transport the carrier.

[0073] When centrifuge tubes on the carrier limiting frame 301 need to be moved, the operation of the electric translation screw cylinder 408 is controlled to move the centrifuge transport frame 401 and the pipetting transport frame 405 horizontally. At the same time, the operation of the electric lifting screw 409 is used to control the horizontal movement of the centrifuge transport frame 401 and the pipetting transport frame 405 respectively. The centrifuge tubes on the carrier limiting frame 301 are transported by negative pressure adsorption through the transport nozzle 404. The centrifuge tubes can be pipetted by moving the suction pen 407.

[0074] In addition, centrifuge tubes on the carrier limit frame 301 can be clamped and transported by a pair of transport grippers 419, which reduces the fatigue caused to medical staff by repeatedly picking up and putting down centrifuge tubes and avoids biological contamination between different centrifuge tubes.

[0075] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0076] This invention, through the design of a carrier transport mechanism and a centrifuge transport mechanism, enables efficient and accurate transport of centrifuge tubes, greatly reducing the fatigue caused to medical staff by repeatedly picking up and putting down centrifuge tubes, avoiding biological contamination between different centrifuge tubes, significantly improving the detection efficiency of sample processing equipment, and can also be integrated with in vitro diagnostic instruments, making it highly applicable.

[0077] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within the present invention.

[0078] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
