[0043] In the detection process of liquid parameters in the microfluidic flow channel, the microfluidic flow channel needs to be cleaned before data detection; the flow rate ratio of the reference liquid to the to-be-detected liquid is different in the cleaning mode and the measurement mode; in the related technology, a valve is usually arranged at the inlet flow channel of the microfluidic flow channel, and the flow rate ratio of the reference liquid to the to-be-detected liquid in different working modes is controlled by adjusting the valve, which obviously increases the number of valves in the microfluidic flow channel and increases the control cost of the liquid flow rate in the microfluidic flow channel.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1As shown in a structural schematic diagram of a control system for liquid flow rate in a microfluidic flow channel according to an exemplary embodiment, including a control host 01, a first flow rate adjusting device 02, a second flow rate adjusting device 03, a microfluidic flow channel 04, and a target sensor 05, wherein the control host 01 can be in communication connection with the first flow rate adjusting device 02, the second flow rate adjusting device 03, and the target sensor 05, and the control host 01 can control the respective liquid flow rates of the first flow rate adjusting device 02 and the second flow rate adjusting device 03; the microfluidic flow channel 04 includes a preset inlet branch flow channel, a confluence flow channel, and an outlet flow channel connected in sequence, and the preset inlet branch flow channel can include at least a first branch flow channel and a second branch flow channel; the first flow rate adjusting device 02 and the second flow rate adjusting device 03 can include, but are not limited to, peristaltic pumps, syringe pumps, etc.; the first flow rate adjusting device 02 is used to input a first liquid into the first branch flow channel, and the second flow rate adjusting device 03 is used to input a second liquid into the second branch flow channel; the first liquid enters the confluence flow channel through the first branch flow channel, and the second liquid enters the confluence flow channel through the second branch flow channel, and the two form a confluence fluid in the confluence flow channel. The confluence flow channel can be provided with a corresponding target sensor 05, and the target sensor 05 is used to detect first measurement data of the confluence fluid in the confluence flow channel, and the target sensor 05 can be a contact or non-contact sensor relative to the confluence flow channel. In the case of a non-contact sensor, the target sensor 05 can include, but is not limited to, photoelectric sensors and other sensors; in the case of a contact sensor, the target sensor 05 can include, but is not limited to, inductive sensors, resistive sensors, piezoelectric sensors, and other sensors.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, when neither the first liquid nor the second liquid needs to be recovered, the outlet flow channel can be one flow channel, at which time, as shown in Figure 2 , the shape of the microfluidic flow channel 04 is Y-shaped, and the confluence fluid of the two liquids is discharged as waste liquid after entering the outlet flow channel through the confluence flow channel. In an exemplary embodiment, when the first liquid and the second liquid need to be recovered, the outlet flow channel can include a third branch flow channel and a fourth branch flow channel, wherein the third branch flow channel and the first branch flow channel are arranged on the same side of the confluence flow channel, and the fourth branch flow channel and the second branch flow channel are arranged on the other side of the confluence flow channel; at this time, as shown in Figure 3 , the shape of the microfluidic flow channel 04 is H-shaped, and the first liquid flows out of the third branch flow channel through the confluence flow channel, and the second liquid flows out of the fourth branch flow channel through the confluence flow channel. The first liquid can be a reference liquid, and the second liquid can be a to-be-measured liquid. In the application process, in the case of not needing to recover the tested blood after performing in vitro blood sampling to test parameters in the blood, the microfluidic flow channel shown in Figure 1 can be used; in the case of returning the in-vivo blood to the body after in-vitro treatment, the microfluidic flow channel shown inFigure 2 The microfluidic flow channel shown.

[0047] Figure 4 A flow chart of a method for controlling liquid flow rate in a microfluidic flow channel according to an exemplary embodiment is shown as Figure 4 The method can be applied to Figure 1 The control host 01 shown includes the following steps.

[0048] In step S401, in response to the working instruction corresponding to the target sensor, the target working mode corresponding to the target sensor is determined; the target sensor is arranged in the intersection flow channel in the microfluidic flow channel, and the microfluidic flow channel further includes a preset inlet branch flow channel corresponding to the intersection flow channel, the preset inlet branch flow channel includes at least a first branch flow channel and a second branch flow channel, a first liquid in the first branch flow channel enters the intersection flow channel through the first branch flow channel, and a second liquid in the second branch flow channel enters the intersection flow channel through the second branch flow channel.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the microfluidic flow channel can include an inlet flow channel, an intersection flow channel, and an outlet flow channel connected in sequence, the inlet flow channel can be a preset inlet branch flow channel corresponding to the intersection flow channel, and the preset inlet branch flow channel includes at least a first branch flow channel and a second branch flow channel; the outlet flow channel can be a flow channel, at this time, as Figure 2 The shape of the microfluidic flow channel is Y-shaped, as shown. The outlet flow channel can also include a third branch flow channel and a fourth branch flow channel, wherein the third branch flow channel and the first branch flow channel are arranged on the same side of the intersection flow channel, and the fourth branch flow channel and the second branch flow channel are arranged on the other side of the intersection flow channel; at this time, as Figure 3 The shape of the microfluidic flow channel is H-shaped, as shown. The first liquid enters the intersection flow channel through the first branch flow channel, and the second liquid enters the intersection flow channel through the second branch flow channel, and the two form an intersection fluid (laminar flow) in the intersection flow channel. The intersection flow channel can be provided with a corresponding target sensor; the working mode corresponding to the microfluidic flow channel can include multiple modes, for example, the working mode can include a start mode, a cleaning mode, a calibration mode, a measurement mode, etc.; in the cleaning mode, the microfluidic flow channel and the target sensor corresponding to the microfluidic flow channel can be cleaned; in the calibration mode, the target sensor can be calibrated; in the measurement mode, the first measurement data in the second liquid can be obtained through the target sensor; in different working modes, the flow rate ratio of the first liquid to the second liquid is different, but in special cases, two different working modes can coincide into one working mode, at this time, the flow rate ratio in the two working modes is the same; for example, the calibration mode and the cleaning mode can be set as one working mode.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first liquid can be a baseline solution, and the second liquid can be a to-be-tested liquid; wherein the baseline solution (BLS) has the following characteristics:

[0051] 1. stable and known composition;

[0052] 2. flushable and capable of removing sample residues that may contaminate the target sensor;

[0053] 3. the BLS also contains the target detection object for the target sensor, and the concentration is known. The target sensor can be calibrated while being cleaned.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control host can obtain a target working mode corresponding to the target sensor in response to a working instruction corresponding to the target sensor; the working instruction can carry identification information of the target working mode; the control host can also determine a next working mode corresponding to the current working mode according to the current working mode and an execution sequence of a plurality of preset working modes, and obtain the target working mode.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first branch flow channel can be used to introduce the baseline solution, and the second branch flow channel can be used to introduce the to-be-tested liquid (such as blood). The baseline solution can be used to clean the intersection flow channel of the microfluidic channel. For example, when the to-be-tested liquid is blood, if there is too much to-be-tested liquid in the intersection flow channel, coagulation (such as blood clotting) may occur. At this time, the baseline solution can be used for flushing to avoid the problem of inaccurate detection data caused by liquid coagulation. When the target sensor is arranged in the intersection flow channel, the baseline solution can also be used to clean the target sensor.

[0056] In step S403, according to the target working mode, the first liquid is controlled to enter the intersection flow channel at a first flow rate, and the second liquid is controlled to enter the intersection flow channel at a second flow rate.

[0057] The first liquid at the first flow rate and the second liquid at the second flow rate form an intersection fluid in the intersection flow channel. The first flow rate is a target flow rate of the first liquid in the target working mode, and the second flow rate is a target flow rate of the second liquid in the target working mode. The intersection form of the intersection fluid satisfies an intersection form condition corresponding to the target working mode.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a correspondence between a plurality of working modes of a target sensor and preset flow rates can be constructed in advance to obtain a first target correlation; and a corresponding target flow rate can be determined according to a target working mode corresponding to the target sensor; in the case that the target working mode is a measurement mode, the first target correlation can be queried according to the measurement mode to obtain a preset flow rate corresponding to the target sensor in the measurement mode, and the first flow rate and the second flow rate can be obtained; in the measurement mode, the flow rate of the liquid to be measured in the confluence flow channel is usually greater than the flow rate of the reference liquid, and therefore the flow rate ratio of the two flow rates can be less than a first threshold value, which can be set according to actual conditions.

[0059] The confluence fluid can be laminar flow, and the confluence condition includes a laminar flow interface position in the measurement mode, a laminar flow interface position in the cleaning or calibration mode. The laminar flow interface position in the measurement mode includes a preset interface position associated with the coverage area of the liquid to be measured, in which the liquid to be measured in the confluence fluid can cover the detection area of the target sensor. The laminar flow interface position in the measurement mode includes a preset interface position associated with the mixing ratio of the two liquids, in which the mixing ratio of the two liquids needs to meet a preset mixing ratio range. The laminar flow interface position in the cleaning or calibration mode includes a preset interface position associated with the coverage area of the reference liquid, in which the reference liquid in the confluence fluid can cover the detection area of the target sensor.

[0060] The laminar flow interface position is related to the flow rate ratio of the two liquids, and therefore the first flow rate and the second flow rate satisfy the preset flow rate ratio corresponding to the target working mode. Alternatively, the flow rate ratio corresponding to the target working mode can be determined according to the target working mode, and then the first flow rate and the second flow rate can be determined according to at least one of the first liquid or the second liquid. For example, the target flow rate of one side is determined according to the preset flow rate ratio while the flow rate of the other side is kept unchanged, so as to obtain the first flow rate and the second flow rate; or the flow rates of both sides are adjusted to satisfy the preset flow rate ratio, so as to obtain the first flow rate and the second flow rate. Alternatively, if the liquid to be measured is blood, the adjustment rules of the blood flow rate include the principle of reducing but not increasing (to avoid excessive loss of blood), and the flow rate range limit to prevent blood clotting.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 the determination method of the first target correlation includes:

[0062] S501: obtaining the size information of the microfluidic flow channel;

[0063] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the microfluidic flow channel can include an inlet flow channel, a junction flow channel, and an outlet flow channel. In order to ensure the effect of laminar flow in the junction flow channel, the size range of the microfluidic flow channel can be limited when the junction flow channel is a straight pipe flow channel. For example, the spatial scale feature of the flow channel has a scale range of 1 micrometer (10 -6 meters) to 1 millimeter (10 -3 meters). Table 1 is an exemplary design size (unit: um) of a microfluidic flow channel, wherein the branch flow channel includes a first branch flow channel and a second branch flow channel, and the sizes of the two flow channels are the same. After the size information is determined, the size information of the microfluidic flow channel can be obtained.

[0106] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target flow rate adjustment device, the first flow rate adjustment device, and the second flow rate adjustment device can include but are not limited to peristaltic pumps, syringe pumps, and the like; the first flow rate adjustment device is used to input the first liquid into the first branch flow channel, and the second flow rate adjustment device is used to input the second liquid into the second branch flow channel; after the first flow rate and the second flow rate are determined, the flow rate adjustment of the first flow rate adjustment device and the second flow rate adjustment device can be performed in an artificial adjustment mode; the flow rate adjustment of the first flow rate adjustment device and the second flow rate adjustment device can also be automatically controlled by the control host sending instructions to the first flow rate adjustment device and the second flow rate adjustment device, so that the flow rate matches the target working mode.

[0107] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control host can automatically adjust the flow rates of the first liquid and the second liquid by sending instructions to the first flow rate adjustment device and the second flow rate adjustment device, thereby improving the flow rate adjustment efficiency.

[0112] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control of the first liquid to enter the intersection flow passage at the first flow rate and the control of the second liquid to enter the intersection flow passage at the second flow rate according to the target working mode include:

[0113] According to the target working mode, a target flow rate ratio matching the target working mode is obtained by searching the second preset data table; the target flow rate ratio is a flow rate ratio of the first liquid and the second liquid in the target working mode; the second preset data table is constructed based on a corresponding relationship between preset working modes and preset flow rate ratios; and the preset flow rate ratio is a flow rate ratio of the first liquid and the second liquid in the preset working mode.

[0114] A current detection flow rate of a first current liquid is obtained; the first current liquid is the first liquid or the second liquid;

[0115] According to the target flow rate ratio and the current detection flow rate, a target set flow rate corresponding to a second current liquid is determined; the second current liquid is a liquid other than the first current liquid among the first liquid and the second liquid;

[0116] According to the current detection flow rate and the target set flow rate, a first flow rate corresponding to the first liquid and a second flow rate corresponding to the second liquid are determined.

[0117] The first liquid is controlled to enter the intersection flow passage at the first flow rate, and the second liquid is controlled to enter the intersection flow passage at the second flow rate.

[0118] For example, a first current flow rate corresponding to the first liquid can be obtained, and the first current flow rate is determined as the first flow rate; according to the first flow rate and the target flow rate ratio, the second flow rate corresponding to the second liquid is determined. For example, a second current flow rate corresponding to the second liquid can be obtained, and the second current flow rate is determined as the second flow rate; according to the second flow rate and the target flow rate ratio, the first flow rate corresponding to the first liquid is determined.

[0119] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the preset working modes can be at least two, and a preset flow rate ratio corresponding to the first liquid and the second liquid in each preset working mode can be determined; and a second preset data table can be constructed according to the correspondence between the preset working modes and the preset flow rate ratios; so that the target flow rate ratio matched with the target working mode can be quickly obtained by searching the second preset data table through the target working mode; and the target flow rate of the other liquid can be quickly and accurately determined according to the current flow rate of any one of the first liquid and the second liquid and the target flow rate ratio.

[0120] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the method further comprises:

[0121] obtaining a position parameter of the interface of the intersection fluid in the target working mode; the position parameter of the interface represents the flow rate ratio of the first liquid and the second liquid in the intersection fluid; the position parameter of the interface is determined based on photosensitive information of the intersection fluid; and the photosensitive information is obtained based on a light sensor arranged at the intersection channel;

[0122] In the case that the position parameter of the interface meets a preset condition, it is determined that the intersection state of the intersection fluid meets the intersection form condition corresponding to the target working mode.

[0123] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, an image recognition device can be arranged in the intersection channel, and the position parameter of the interface of the intersection fluid in the target working mode is obtained through the image recognition device; and in the case that the position parameter of the interface meets a preset condition, it is determined that the intersection state of the intersection fluid meets the intersection form condition corresponding to the target working mode. In the case that the intersection fluid is a laminar flow liquid, if the target sensor is arranged in the intersection channel, whether the intersection state of the intersection fluid meets the intersection form condition corresponding to the target working mode can be determined through the position parameter of the interface. Different preset conditions of the position parameter of the interface corresponding to different target working modes are different; when the first liquid is a reference liquid and the second liquid is a to-be-measured liquid, in the cleaning mode, the preset condition corresponding to the position parameter of the interface can include that the position parameter of the interface is less than a preset value, at this time, the target sensor is completely covered by the reference liquid; and in the measurement mode, the preset condition corresponding to the position parameter of the interface can include that the position parameter of the interface is greater than or equal to a preset value, at this time, the target sensor is completely covered by the to-be-measured liquid.

[0124] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, whether the intersection state of the intersection fluid meets the intersection form condition corresponding to the target working mode can be determined through the position parameter of the interface; so that the intersection state of the intersection fluid can be adjusted to meet the intersection form condition corresponding to the target working mode through the position parameter of the interface; and the diversity of determining the intersection form condition in the target working mode is improved.

[0125] In the case where the interface position parameter does not meet the preset condition, the method further includes:

[0126] According to the interface position parameter and the preset condition, the first flow rate of the first liquid in the target working mode and the second flow rate of the second liquid in the target working mode are updated. The updated first flow rate and second flow rate can make the confluence form of the confluence fluid meet the confluence form condition corresponding to the target working mode.

[0127] In the case where the interface position parameter does not meet the preset condition, the first flow rate of the first liquid in the target working mode and the second flow rate of the second liquid in the target working mode can be determined according to the interface position parameter and the preset condition, and the flow rates of the two liquids are adjusted based on the flow rate determination result, so that the interface position parameter meets the preset condition.

[0128] In the case where the interface position parameter does not meet the preset condition, the first flow rate of the first liquid in the target working mode and the second flow rate of the second liquid in the target working mode can be determined according to the interface position parameter and the preset condition, and the flow rates of the two liquids are adjusted based on the flow rate determination result, so that the interface position parameter meets the preset condition.

[0129] In the measurement mode, the confluence fluid is the first confluence fluid, and the first interface position parameter of the first confluence fluid can be obtained, which represents the flow rate ratio of the to-be-measured liquid to the reference liquid in the first confluence fluid. The first interface position parameter is determined based on a first interface image corresponding to the first confluence fluid. The first interface image is obtained based on an image recognition device arranged in the confluence channel. In the case where the first interface position parameter is greater than or equal to a first preset value, it is determined that the confluence state of the first confluence fluid meets the confluence form condition corresponding to the measurement mode.

[0130] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the image recognition device can be a photoelectric sensor, such as a camera, a charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor, a light emitting diode (LED), and the like; the first preset value can be determined according to experimental data; whether the confluence state of the first confluence fluid meets the confluence condition corresponding to the target working mode can be determined by the first interface position parameter, regardless of whether the target sensor is arranged outside or inside the confluence channel; in the case that the first confluence fluid is a laminar liquid, if the target sensor is arranged in the confluence channel, whether the target sensor is completely covered by the liquid under test can be determined by the first interface position parameter; in the case that the first interface position parameter is greater than or equal to the first preset value, it is determined that the target sensor is completely covered by the liquid under test, and at this time, the confluence state of the first confluence fluid meets the confluence condition corresponding to the target working mode.

[0131] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the measurement mode, whether the first confluence fluid meets the first preset condition can be determined according to the first interface position parameter of the first confluence fluid in the confluence channel; whether the acquisition condition of the detection data is met is determined, and in the case that the confluence state of the first confluence fluid meets the confluence condition corresponding to the measurement mode, the detection data of the target sensor is acquired, the first measurement data of the liquid under test is obtained, and the first measurement data of the liquid under test is quickly and accurately acquired.

[0132] In an exemplary embodiment, in the measurement mode, the method further includes:

[0133] If the confluence state of the first confluence fluid cannot meet the confluence condition corresponding to the measurement mode within the first preset period, at least one of the strategies of reducing the first flow rate of the reference liquid and increasing the second flow rate of the liquid under test is performed; the first preset period is a preset period after the reference liquid is adjusted to the first flow rate.

[0134] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, during the flow rate adjustment, the set flow rate may not be able to reach the measurement condition due to external environmental changes and the like; if the above-mentioned reference liquid is adjusted to the first preset time period after the first flow rate, the first intersection fluid cannot meet the intersection form condition corresponding to the measurement mode, which indicates that the determined first flow rate and second flow rate have certain errors, at this time, the flow rate of at least one of the reference liquid and the liquid to be measured needs to be adjusted; for example, the first flow rate of the above-mentioned reference liquid can be reduced, the first flow rate of the above-mentioned liquid to be measured can be increased, or the first flow rate of the above-mentioned reference liquid can be reduced while the first flow rate of the above-mentioned liquid to be measured is increased, so as to ensure that the intersection state of the first intersection fluid meets the intersection form condition corresponding to the measurement mode.

[0135] If the first measurement data of the liquid to be measured is the same as or similar to the preset parameter of the reference liquid within the second preset time period after the execution of the strategy, it can be determined that the first measurement data of the liquid to be measured is consistent with the preset parameter of the reference liquid.

[0136] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the first measurement data of the liquid to be measured is the same as or similar to the preset parameter of the reference liquid within the second preset time period after the execution of the strategy, it can be determined that the first measurement data of the liquid to be measured is consistent with the preset parameter of the reference liquid.

[0137] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the measurement mode, if the flow rates of the reference liquid and the liquid to be measured cannot meet the acquisition condition of the detection data all the time within a relatively long period of time, the flow rates of the reference liquid and the liquid to be measured can be adjusted again, so that the intersection state of the first intersection fluid can meet the intersection form condition corresponding to the measurement mode within a relatively short period of time, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the first measurement data; if the first measurement data of the liquid to be measured is the same as or similar to the preset parameter of the reference liquid within the second preset time period after the execution of the strategy, it can be determined that the first measurement data of the liquid to be measured is consistent with the preset parameter of the reference liquid, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the first measurement data.

[0138] In some embodiments, in the preset working mode (including the cleaning mode and the calibration mode), the intersection fluid is a second intersection fluid, and the method further includes:

[0139] obtaining a second interface position parameter of the second intersection fluid in the intersection flow channel; the second interface position parameter is determined based on a second interface image corresponding to the second intersection fluid; the second interface image is obtained based on an image recognition device arranged in the intersection flow channel; and in a case where the second interface position parameter is less than a second preset value, it is determined that the second intersection fluid meets the intersection form condition corresponding to the preset working mode.

[0140] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the image recognition device can be a photoelectric sensor, such as a camera, a charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor, a light emitting diode (LED), and the like; the second preset value can be determined according to experimental data; whether the second intersection fluid satisfies the intersection shape condition corresponding to the preset working mode can be determined by the second interface position parameter, regardless of whether the target sensor is arranged outside or inside the intersection channel; in the case that the second intersection fluid is a laminar liquid, if the target sensor is arranged in the intersection channel, whether the target sensor is completely covered by the reference liquid can be determined by the second interface position parameter; in the case that the above-mentioned second interface position parameter is less than the second preset value, it is determined that the target sensor is completely covered by the reference liquid, and at this time, the second intersection fluid satisfies the intersection shape condition corresponding to the preset working mode.

[0141] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the preset working mode (including the cleaning mode and the calibration mode), whether the second intersection fluid satisfies the second preset condition can be determined according to the second interface position parameter of the second intersection fluid in the intersection channel; and whether the preset working mode is ended is determined, so that the end point of the preset working mode is automatically determined.

[0142] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the second intersection fluid cannot satisfy the intersection shape condition corresponding to the preset working mode within a third preset period, at least one of the following strategies is performed: increasing the target flow rate of the reference liquid, and reducing the target flow rate of the to-be-measured liquid; the third preset period is a preset period after the reference liquid is adjusted to the target flow rate.

[0143] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, during the flow rate adjustment process, the set flow rate may not meet the condition of the preset working mode due to external environmental changes and the like; if the second intersection fluid cannot satisfy the intersection shape condition corresponding to the preset working mode after the third preset period after the reference liquid is adjusted to the target flow rate, it indicates that there is an error in the determined two target flow rates, and at this time, the flow rate of at least one of the reference liquid and the to-be-measured liquid needs to be adjusted; for example, the target flow rate of the reference liquid can be increased, the target flow rate of the to-be-measured liquid can be reduced, or the target flow rate of the reference liquid can be increased while the target flow rate of the to-be-measured liquid is reduced, so as to ensure that the second intersection fluid satisfies the intersection shape condition corresponding to the preset working mode.

[0144] In some embodiments, if the end condition of the preset working mode cannot be met based on the flow rates of the reference liquid and the liquid to be measured for a relatively long period of time, the flow rates of the reference liquid and the liquid to be measured can be adjusted so that the second intersection fluid can meet the intersection shape condition corresponding to the preset working mode in a relatively short period of time.

[0145] In some embodiments, the first liquid is a reference liquid and the second liquid is a liquid to be measured, and the method further comprises:

[0146] obtaining real-time detection data of the target sensor and a preset parameter of the liquid to be measured; the preset parameter and the real-time detection data are data of the same type;

[0147] If the preset parameter matches the real-time detection data, it is determined that the intersection shape of the intersection fluid meets the intersection shape condition corresponding to the target working mode.

[0148] For example, in the measurement mode, the first detection data of the target sensor and the first preset parameter of the liquid to be measured can be obtained; if the first preset parameter matches the first detection data, it is determined that the intersection shape of the first intersection fluid meets the intersection shape condition corresponding to the measurement mode.

[0149] If the preset parameter does not match the real-time detection data, but the intersection shape of the intersection fluid meets the intersection shape condition corresponding to the target working mode, the target sensor is calibrated based on the preset parameter.

[0150] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target sensor can detect at least two types of data. In the measurement mode, if the first preset parameter (such as the PH value or the like) corresponding to the to-be-measured liquid is known, whether the first intersection fluid meets the intersection condition corresponding to the measurement mode can be determined according to the first detection data of the target sensor and the first preset parameter, that is, whether the acquisition opportunity of the first measurement data to be detected is met. The first detection data matches the first preset parameter means that the absolute value of the difference between the two data is equal to or less than a preset difference threshold, which can include the case that the two data are the same and the case that the difference between the two data is small. In the measurement mode, whether the first intersection fluid meets the first preset condition can be determined according to the first detection data of the target sensor and the known first preset parameter of the to-be-measured liquid, regardless of whether the target sensor is arranged inside or outside the intersection flow channel. In the case that the first intersection fluid is a laminar fluid, if the target sensor is arranged in the intersection flow channel, whether the target sensor is completely covered by the to-be-measured liquid can be determined by comparing the data. In the case that the first detection data matches the first preset parameter, it is determined that the target sensor is completely covered by the to-be-measured liquid. In the measurement process, high-frequency quasi-continuous detection can be performed, or low-frequency intermittent detection can be performed, which can be set according to actual conditions.

[0151] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, whether the first intersection fluid meets the intersection condition corresponding to the measurement mode, that is, whether the acquisition opportunity of the first measurement data to be detected is met, can be quickly determined according to the matching result of the first detection data of the target sensor and the first preset parameter of the to-be-measured liquid, so that the accuracy of the first measurement data in the to-be-measured liquid can be improved.

[0152] In some embodiments, in the preset working mode (cleaning mode or calibration mode), the second detection data of the target sensor and the second preset parameter of the reference liquid can be obtained. The second preset parameter and the second detection data are the same type of data, and the second preset parameter and the first measurement data are the same type of data. If the second detection data matches the second preset parameter, it is determined that the second intersection fluid meets the intersection condition corresponding to the preset working mode.

[0153] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the detected first measurement data is the parameter of the target detection object in the to-be-measured liquid, the target detection object with a known parameter can be included in the reference liquid, and the second detection data of the target sensor and the second preset parameter of the reference liquid can be obtained. The second preset parameter, the second detection data, and the first measurement data are the same type of data.

[0154] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second detection data of the target sensor and the second preset parameter of the target detection object in the reference liquid can be obtained; the current detection data of the target sensor corresponding to the first intersection fluid can be obtained.

[0155] The current detection data is determined as the first measurement data of the target detection object in the to-be-measured liquid.

[0156] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the detected first measurement data is the parameter of the target detection object in the to-be-measured liquid, the current detection data of the target sensor is determined as the first measurement data of the target detection object in the to-be-measured liquid.

[0157] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, not only the parameter of the to-be-measured liquid can be detected by the target sensor, but also the parameter of the target detection object in the to-be-measured liquid can be detected by the target sensor; the data detection range of the target sensor is expanded, and the diversity of the data type of the detection data is improved.

[0158] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the matching of the second detection data and the second preset parameter means that the absolute value of the difference between the two data is equal to or less than a preset difference threshold, which can include the case that the two data are the same and the case that the difference between the two data is small; in the preset working mode, the target sensor can be arranged outside the intersection flow channel (non-contact type) or inside the intersection flow channel (contact type); no matter whether the target sensor is arranged outside or inside the intersection flow channel, the second intersection fluid can be determined to meet the intersection shape condition corresponding to the preset working mode according to the second detection data of the target sensor and the second preset parameter of the target detection object in the known reference liquid; in the case that the second intersection fluid is a laminar fluid, if the target sensor is arranged in the intersection flow channel, whether the target sensor is completely covered by the reference liquid can be determined by comparing the data; in the case that the second detection data matches the second preset parameter, it is determined that the target sensor is completely covered by the reference liquid, and at this time, the second intersection fluid meets the intersection shape condition corresponding to the preset working mode.

[0159] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the preset working mode, whether the second intersection fluid meets the intersection shape condition corresponding to the preset working mode can also be determined according to the second detection data of the target sensor and the second preset parameter of the reference liquid; whether the cleaning mode is ended can be determined, and the end point of the cleaning mode is automatically determined.

[0160] In some embodiments, the second junction fluid can also be determined to satisfy the junction condition corresponding to the preset working mode according to the second interface position parameter of the second junction fluid and the second preset parameter of the reference liquid. The second junction fluid can be determined to satisfy the junction condition corresponding to the preset working mode when the second interface position parameter is less than the second preset value and the second detection data matches the second preset parameter.

[0161] In the cleaning mode, the method further includes the following steps in the embodiments of the present disclosure:

[0162] If the second detection data matches the second preset parameter, it is determined that the cleaning mode is ended and the calibration of the target sensor is successful.

[0163] In the preset working mode, if the second detection data matches the second preset parameter, it can be determined that the calibration of the target sensor is successful. At this time, the cleaning mode can also be the calibration mode, and the target sensor can be calibrated while the flow channel and the target sensor are cleaned.

[0164] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the second junction fluid is determined to satisfy the second preset condition according to the second detection data of the target sensor and the second preset parameter of the reference liquid, the cleaning mode or the calibration mode can be determined, and the target sensor can be calibrated while the flow channel and the target sensor are cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning and calibration efficiency.

[0165] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first liquid is a reference liquid, the second liquid is a to-be-measured liquid, and when the target working mode is a measurement mode, the method of controlling the first liquid to enter the junction flow channel at a first flow rate and controlling the second liquid to enter the junction flow channel at a second flow rate according to the target working mode includes the following steps:

[0166] According to the measurement mode, the reference liquid is controlled to enter the junction flow channel at a first measurement flow rate, and the to-be-measured liquid is controlled to enter the junction flow channel at a second measurement flow rate. The first measurement flow rate is a target flow rate of the reference liquid in the measurement mode, and the second measurement flow rate is a target flow rate of the to-be-measured liquid in the measurement mode.

[0167] The method further includes the following steps:

[0168] When the region corresponding to the to-be-measured liquid in the junction flow channel covers the detection region of the target sensor, the first measurement data of the target sensor is obtained. The first measurement data is liquid detection information of the to-be-measured liquid.

[0169] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case that the target working mode is a preset working mode, the preset working mode is a cleaning mode or a calibration mode, and the control of the first liquid into the intersection flow passage at the first flow rate and the control of the second liquid into the intersection flow passage at the second flow rate according to the target working mode comprises:

[0170] According to the preset working mode, the reference liquid is controlled to enter the intersection flow passage at a first initial flow rate, and the liquid to be measured is controlled to enter the intersection flow passage at a second initial flow rate; the first initial flow rate is a target flow rate corresponding to the first liquid in the preset working mode, and the second initial flow rate is a target flow rate corresponding to the second liquid in the preset working mode.

[0171] The method further comprises:

[0172] In the case that the corresponding area of the reference liquid in the intersection flow passage covers the detection area of the target sensor, the second measurement data of the target sensor is acquired.

[0173] Based on the matching result of the second measurement data and the known parameter of the reference liquid, it is determined whether the intersection form of the intersection fluid meets the intersection form condition corresponding to the preset working mode; the known parameter of the reference liquid and the liquid detection information of the liquid to be measured are parameters of the same type.

[0174] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, based on the matching result of the second measurement data and the known parameter of the reference liquid, it is determined whether the intersection form of the intersection fluid meets the intersection form condition corresponding to the target working mode, which comprises:

[0175] In the case that the second measurement data matches the known parameter of the reference liquid, it is determined that the intersection form of the intersection fluid meets the intersection form condition corresponding to the preset working mode.

[0176] The method further comprises:

[0178] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case that the host determines that the cleaning mode and the calibration mode are ended, the next working mode corresponding to the cleaning mode, i.e., the measurement mode, can be determined according to the execution order of the plurality of preset working modes.

[0179] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the measurement mode can be automatically switched to in the case that the cleaning mode is determined to be ended, so as to realize the automatic switching of each working mode of the target sensor and improve the data detection efficiency.

[0180] In an example embodiment, the target sensor can be determined to have a preset flow rate ratio corresponding to each of the start mode, the cleaning mode, and the measurement mode, so as to further determine the preset flow rate ratio of different working modes; for example, the preset flow rate and the preset flow rate ratio (such as 1:1) corresponding to the start mode, the preset flow rate and the preset flow rate ratio (such as 3:1) corresponding to the cleaning mode, and the preset flow rate and the preset flow rate ratio (such as 1:3) corresponding to the measurement mode. The preset flow rate ratio of different working modes can be used to determine the flow rates of the reference liquid and the to-be-measured liquid in each working mode; for example, as shown in Tables 2-3, Table 2 is the liquid flow rate (unit: uL / h) of the microfluidic flow channel corresponding to different working modes, and Table 3 is the liquid flow rate (unit: uL / h) when the to-be-measured liquid flow rate is not adjusted and is completely controlled by the reference liquid during the transition from the cleaning mode to the measurement mode.

[0184] Start mode Cleaning mode Measurement mode Reference liquid 100 300 30 Liquid to be measured 100 100 100

[0185] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the measurement mode also includes another mixed liquid measurement mode, the first liquid is a reaction liquid, the second liquid is a to-be-measured liquid, the content data of the target detection object in the to-be-measured liquid is detected based on a mixed liquid formed by the reaction liquid and the to-be-measured liquid, and the ratio between the first flow rate and the second flow rate is set according to the mixing ratio between the reaction liquid and the to-be-measured liquid. Optionally, the mixing ratio of the first liquid and the second liquid in the intersection fluid corresponds to a target mixing ratio, and the target mixing ratio can be used to determine the first flow rate of the first liquid and the second flow rate of the second liquid.

[0186] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, different target detection objects or liquid types or working modes can correspond to different mixing ratios (mixing ratios of the first liquid and the second liquid). Correspondingly, in the case where the target working mode is the mixed liquid measurement mode, third measurement data of the target sensor is acquired; and the content data of the target detection object, i.e., the content data in the to-be-measured liquid, is determined according to the first flow rate, the second flow rate, and the third measurement data. The first flow rate and the second flow rate can be used to determine the mixing ratio of the first liquid and the second liquid, and then the content data of the target detection object in the to-be-measured liquid is determined according to the mixing ratio and the third measurement data of the target sensor for detecting the mixed liquid.

[0187] In the case that the target detection object in the to-be-measured liquid is an anti-Xa factor, the interface needs to be kept at the middle level during measurement; that is, in the case that the converging fluid in the converging flow channel is a non-laminar fluid, the preset mixing ratio of the to-be-measured liquid and the reference liquid can be obtained, and the target flow rate ratio of the two liquids in the measurement mode is determined according to the ratio; at this time, the target flow rate ratio or the first flow rate and the second flow rate can be determined according to the preset mixing ratio required when the two liquids are mixed; for example, the preset mixing ratio of the to-be-measured liquid and the reference liquid can be determined as the target flow rate ratio of the target sensor in the measurement mode.

[0188] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the mixing ratio of the first liquid and the second liquid can be quickly determined according to the first flow rate of the first liquid and the second flow rate of the second liquid in the target working mode; thereby the mixing ratio of the two liquids can be controlled by adjusting the flow rate ratio of the two liquids, and the content data of the target detection object in the to-be-measured liquid can be accurately determined.

[0189] In an exemplary embodiment, the first current flow rate of the reference liquid in the first branch flow channel and the second current flow rate of the to-be-measured liquid in the second branch flow channel can be obtained; the second current flow rate of the to-be-measured liquid is determined as the second flow rate of the to-be-measured liquid; and the first flow rate of the reference liquid is determined based on the first flow rate ratio, the first current flow rate and the second flow rate.

[0190] Before entering the measurement mode, the target sensor corresponds to other working modes, and the reference liquid and the to-be-measured liquid in the working modes have certain flow rates; at this time, the first current flow rate of the reference liquid in the first branch flow channel and the second current flow rate of the to-be-measured liquid in the second branch flow channel can be obtained; the second current flow rate can be judged, and if the value meets the preset condition, for example, when the second current flow rate belongs to the preset flow rate range, the second current flow rate of the to-be-measured liquid is determined as the second flow rate of the to-be-measured liquid; and then the first flow rate of the reference liquid is calculated according to the first flow rate ratio, the first current flow rate and the second flow rate. At this time, only the flow rate of the reference liquid in the first branch flow channel can be adjusted. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after entering the measurement mode, only the flow rate of the reference liquid can be adjusted, and the flow rate of the to-be-measured liquid is not adjusted, thereby reducing the complexity of flow rate adjustment and improving the working efficiency. Moreover, when the to-be-measured liquid is blood, blood loss can be reduced.

[0191] In an exemplary embodiment, the first liquid is a reaction liquid, and the second liquid is a to-be-measured liquid, and the method further comprises:

[0192] In the case that the target working mode is the measurement mode, if the target detection object in the to-be-measured liquid is anti-Xa factor, a mixing ratio of the reaction liquid and the to-be-measured liquid is obtained.

[0193] Based on the mixing ratio of the reaction liquid and the to-be-measured liquid, a target flow rate ratio of the reaction liquid and the to-be-measured liquid in the measurement mode is determined.

[0194] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the intersection flow channel can include a first intersection flow channel and a second intersection flow channel, the first intersection flow channel is a bent pipe structure, the second intersection flow channel is a straight pipe structure, the to-be-measured liquid and the reaction liquid form a mixed liquid in the first intersection flow channel, and the mixed liquid can be a liquid after the to-be-measured liquid and the reaction liquid react, at this time, the reaction liquid and the to-be-measured liquid have reacted chemically, and the mixed liquid forms the first intersection flow in the second intersection flow channel; the microfluidic flow channel can further include a liquid inlet flow channel for cutting the liquid, the liquid inlet flow channel can include a liquid inlet and two liquid inlet branch flow channels in communication with the liquid inlet, the cutting liquid enters the two liquid inlet branch flow channels through the liquid inlet, the outlets of the two liquid inlet branch flow channels are in communication with the second intersection flow channel, and in the second intersection flow channel, the cutting liquid cuts the mixed liquid into droplets, and then the target sensor detects the first measurement data of the droplets to obtain the first measurement data of the to-be-measured liquid.

[0195] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the intersection flow in the intersection flow channel is the mixed liquid, the target flow rate ratio corresponding to the measurement mode can be determined according to the mixing ratio of the reaction liquid and the to-be-measured liquid, so as to flexibly adjust the target flow rate ratio according to the application scenario.

[0196] In an example embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 Figure 9 ​It is a structural schematic diagram of a microfluidic flow channel. The microfluidic flow channel includes a first branch flow channel 041, a second branch flow channel 042, a confluence flow channel, and a liquid inlet flow channel for cutting liquid. The first branch flow channel 041 is used for inputting reference liquid, and the second branch flow channel 042 is used for inputting liquid to be measured. The confluence flow channel includes a first confluence flow channel 043 and a second confluence flow channel 044. A corresponding target sensor 05 is arranged outside the second confluence flow channel 044. The first confluence flow channel 043 is a bent pipe structure, and the second confluence flow channel 044 is a straight pipe structure. The reference liquid and the liquid to be measured are mixed to form a mixed liquid in the first confluence flow channel 043 and enter the second confluence flow channel 044. The liquid inlet flow channel can include a liquid inlet 045 and two liquid inlet branch flow channels 046 and 047 in communication with the liquid inlet. The cutting liquid enters the two liquid inlet branch flow channels through the liquid inlet. The outlets of the two liquid inlet branch flow channels are in communication with the second confluence flow channel. In the second confluence flow channel, the cutting liquid can cut the mixed liquid into droplets. The target sensor 05 can be an optical sensor. The first measurement data of the liquid to be measured is obtained by detecting the droplets through the sensor. If the liquid to be measured is blood, since it is real-time monitoring, the extracted blood will not flow back to the human body, so the principle of adjusting the blood flow rate can be the principle of adjusting small instead of large, thereby avoiding excessive blood loss. In order to maintain the effect of laminar flow, a flow rate adjustment range can also be provided. In order to keep the blood from clotting, a blood flow rate adjustment range can also be provided separately. The adjustment of the flow rate can be implemented within the above limits.

[0197] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 , Figure 10 It is a schematic diagram of three working modes corresponding to a target sensor. The microfluidic flow channel is in an H-shaped structure. The microfluidic flow channel includes an inlet flow channel, a confluence flow channel, and an outlet flow channel connected in sequence. The inlet flow channel includes a first branch flow channel 041 and a second branch flow channel 042. The first branch flow channel 041 is used for inputting reference liquid, and the second branch flow channel 042 is used for inputting liquid to be measured. The confluence flow channel can be provided with a corresponding target sensor 05. The target sensor 05 is used for detecting the first measurement data of the confluence fluid in the confluence flow channel. In Figure 10 , a diagram a is a schematic diagram of an initial working mode corresponding to a microfluidic flow channel. The flow rates of the reference liquid and the liquid to be measured are the same, both being 50 uL / h. Figure 10 , a diagram b is a schematic diagram of a cleaning mode corresponding to a microfluidic flow channel. The flow rate ratio of the reference liquid to the liquid to be measured is 3:1. Figure 10FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of a measurement mode corresponding to the microfluidic flow channel, wherein the flow rate ratio of the reference liquid to the to-be-measured liquid is 1:3; when it is necessary to continuously detect the first measurement data of the to-be-measured liquid for multiple times, the cleaning mode and the measurement mode can be switched periodically, and the flow channel and the target sensor can be cleaned periodically during the data measurement process, so as to improve the accuracy of the first measurement data.

[0198] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, at least two target sensors can be arranged in the intersection flow channel, and the at least two target sensors are arranged in series. Figure 11 As shown in FIG. 10, when the to-be-measured liquid covers the detection area of the target sensor in the corresponding area in the intersection flow channel, the first measurement data of the target sensor is obtained, including:

[0199] S1101: When the to-be-measured liquid covers the detection area of the at least two target sensors in the corresponding area in the intersection flow channel, the current detection data corresponding to each of the at least two target sensors is obtained.

[0200] S1103: The first measurement data is determined according to each of the current detection data.

[0201] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of target sensors can be arranged in series in the intersection flow channel or outside the intersection flow channel, and the plurality of target sensors can detect the same type of data or different types of data. When the to-be-measured liquid covers the detection area of the at least two target sensors in the corresponding area in the intersection flow channel, the current detection data corresponding to each of the at least two target sensors is obtained, so that the first measurement data is determined according to each of the current detection data.

[0202] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the plurality of target sensors detect the same type of data, the accuracy of the first measurement data can be improved; if the plurality of target sensors detect different types of data, the diversity of the first measurement data can be improved.

[0203] In an exemplary embodiment, the first measurement data is determined according to each of the current detection data, including:

[0204] In the case where each target sensor is used to detect different types of data, the first measurement data is determined according to the sum of each of the current detection data.

[0205] In the case where each target sensor is used to detect the same type of data, each of the current detection data is determined as the first measurement data.

[0206] In this embodiment of the disclosure, multiple target sensors can be arranged in series in or outside the confluence channel. The multiple target sensors can detect the same type of data or different types of data. When each target sensor is used to detect different types of data, the first measurement data can be obtained by calculating the average value of each of the above-mentioned current detection data. When each target sensor is used to detect the same type of data, each of the above-mentioned current detection data is determined as the first measurement data.

[0207] In this embodiment of the disclosure, multiple target sensors are connected in series, and each of the multiple target sensors is correspondingly arranged with respect to the converging flow channel. The method further includes:

[0208] Obtain the device type corresponding to each target sensor;

[0209] Based on the device type corresponding to each target sensor, the arrangement position of each target sensor relative to the aforementioned converging flow channels is determined.

[0210] In this embodiment, multiple target sensors can be arranged in series in or outside the confluence channel. These sensors can detect the same type of data or different types of data. If the multiple target sensors are of different device types, their arrangement relative to the confluence channel can be pre-set. Device types can include contact and non-contact types, with contact-type target sensors positioned in front of non-contact-type target sensors. That is, contact-type target sensors are positioned near the inlet of the confluence channel, and non-contact-type target sensors are positioned near the outlet. For example, purely optical target sensors can be placed in front because they do not contact the analyte and therefore do not alter its composition. Contact-type target sensors, even though their effect on the analyte is minimal, should be placed behind to minimize their impact on the components in the liquid being measured.

[0211] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of a target sensor array; target sensors 051 and 052 are arrayed and installed inside or outside the converging flow channel. The arrangement of the two target sensors can be determined according to their device types.

[0212] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when multiple target sensors are connected in series, the arrangement position of each target sensor relative to the aforementioned converging flow channel can be determined according to the device type corresponding to the multiple target sensors, thereby avoiding the target sensor arranged in front from affecting the detection result of the target sensor arranged behind, and improving the accuracy of the detection results of multiple target sensors.

[0213] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the microfluidic flow channel includes a first liquid inlet flow channel, a second liquid inlet flow channel, and at least two intersection flow channels, the at least two intersection flow channels are arranged in parallel; at least one target sensor is arranged in each intersection flow channel; each intersection flow channel corresponds to a group of preset inlet branch flow channels; each group of preset inlet branch flow channels includes the first branch flow channel and the second branch flow channel, the first liquid is distributed to each first branch flow channel through the first liquid inlet flow channel; the second liquid is distributed to each second branch flow channel through the second liquid inlet flow channel; in the case that the target working mode is a measurement mode, in the case that the corresponding region of the to-be-measured liquid in each intersection flow channel covers the detection region of the target sensor corresponding to each intersection flow channel, the first measurement data of the target sensor is obtained, including:

[0214] In the case that the corresponding region of the to-be-measured liquid in each intersection flow channel covers the detection region of the target sensor corresponding to each intersection flow channel, the current detection data of the target sensor corresponding to each of the at least two intersection flow channels is obtained;

[0215] According to each of the current detection data, the first measurement data is determined.

[0216] In an exemplary embodiment, according to each of the current detection data, the first measurement data is determined, including:

[0217] In the case that the target sensor corresponding to each intersection flow channel is used to detect the same type of data, the first measurement data is determined according to the sum of each of the current detection data;

[0218] In the case that the target sensor corresponding to each intersection flow channel is used to detect different types of data, each of the current detection data is determined as the first measurement data.

[0219] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target number of target sensors can be obtained; based on the target number, the number of intersection flow channels in the microfluidic flow channel is determined; the number of intersection flow channels can be an odd number or an even number; based on the number of intersection flow channels, the structure of the microfluidic flow channel is determined; based on the structure of the microfluidic flow channel, the target sensor corresponding to each intersection flow channel is determined. The number of intersection flow channels can be greater than or equal to the target number according to the target number of target sensors.

[0220] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of target sensors can be arranged in parallel, at this time, a plurality of intersection flow channels are required to be arranged, each of which corresponds to at least one target sensor; the arrangement of the plurality of target sensors requires that the flow rate of each flow channel is the same; therefore, the number of intersection flow channels can be determined according to the target number of target sensors, and the number of intersection flow channels can be greater than or equal to the target number; after determining the number of intersection flow channels, the structure of the microfluidic flow channel can be determined; compared with the series mode, the parallel measurement can maximize the exclusion of upstream pollution interference, and can avoid the mutual influence between the target sensors.

[0221] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, compared with the series mode, the parallel mode can avoid the mutual influence between the target sensors, so as to improve the accuracy of the detection results of each target sensor.

[0222] In some embodiments, based on the number of intersection flow channels, the structure of the microfluidic flow channel is determined, including:

[0223] If the number of intersection flow channels is two, the two intersection flow channels are arranged side by side in the microfluidic flow channel, the first branch flow channel corresponding to each of the two intersection flow channels corresponds to the first inlet flow channel, the second branch flow channel corresponding to each of the two intersection flow channels corresponds to the second inlet flow channel, and the first inlet flow channel and the second inlet flow channel are two branches of the inlet flow channel of the microfluidic flow channel.

[0224] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the number of intersection flow channels is two, the first branch flow channel corresponding to each of the two intersection flow channels can be arranged corresponding to the first inlet flow channel, the second branch flow channel corresponding to each of the two intersection flow channels can be arranged corresponding to the second inlet flow channel, the first inlet flow channel and the second inlet flow channel are two branches of the inlet flow channel of the microfluidic flow channel, and the two intersection flow channels are arranged side by side.

[0225] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the number of intersection flow channels is two, the two intersection flow channels can be arranged side by side, so as to realize the side-by-side arrangement of the plurality of target sensors and reduce the influence between the detection results of the plurality of target sensors.

[0226] In some embodiments, based on the number of intersection flow channels, the structure of the microfluidic flow channel is determined, including:

[0227] If the number of intersection flow channels is greater than two, a plurality of intersection flow channel groups are obtained by grouping the plurality of intersection flow channels; each intersection flow channel group includes two intersection flow channels;

[0228] The plurality of intersection flow channel groups are sorted to obtain a sorting result.

[0229] Based on the above sorting result, determine the initial intersection channel group connected with the inlet channel of the microfluidic flow channel;

[0230] Take the initial intersection channel group as the current intersection channel group, and determine the two current intersection channels in the current intersection channel group;

[0231] Determine the current remaining channel group corresponding to each of the two current intersection channels in the current intersection channel group; the current remaining channel group is the intersection channel group whose arrangement position is not determined at present;

[0232] Determine that the outlet of each current intersection channel is in communication with the inlet of the two current remaining channels in the current remaining channel group corresponding to each current intersection channel; the two current remaining channels in the current remaining channel group are arranged side by side;

[0233] Take each current remaining channel in the current remaining channel group as a current intersection channel group in turn, and repeat the steps of determining the current remaining channel group corresponding to each of the two current intersection channels in the current intersection channel group and determining that the outlet of each current intersection channel is in communication with the inlet of the two current remaining channels in the current remaining channel group corresponding to each current intersection channel until there is no current remaining channel group.

[0234] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, regarding the shunt design, in order to maintain synchronization, only two divisions are made, that is, there will be no three-way intersection or more branches; the two division designs are usually 1:2, 2:4, and 4:8. A plurality of intersection channels can be sorted randomly or according to a preset rule to obtain a sorting result, based on the sorting result, the intersection channel group at the first (or last) position in the sorting can be taken as the initial intersection channel group; then, the intersection channel group at the second and third positions in the sorting (or the intersection channel group at the second to last and third to last positions in the sorting) is taken as the current remaining channel group corresponding to each of the two current intersection channels in the current intersection channel group; and the arrangement positions of all intersection channel groups are determined in turn. In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 13 , Figure 13 is a structural schematic diagram of a target sensor arranged in parallel; the target sensors 051 and 052 are arranged in the two intersection channels arranged in parallel.

[0235] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the number of interaction channels is more than two even numbers, regarding the structure of the microfluidic flow channel, two division design can be performed, which can effectively ensure that the flow rates of each branch channel are the same, and can reduce complexity and increase universality.

[0241] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, whether the target sensors are connected in parallel or in series, the detection data of the multiple target sensors can be of the same type. At this time, whether there is abnormal data can be determined according to the multiple current detection data. The abnormal data is data that is greatly different from other current detection data. If there is no abnormal data, an average of the multiple current detection data is directly calculated to obtain the first measurement data.

[0244] Determine an average of the non-abnormal data in the multiple current detection data;

[0245] Determine the average of the non-abnormal data as the first measurement data of the to-be-measured liquid.

[0246] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the multiple current detection data are of the same type and there is abnormal data in the multiple current detection data, the average of the non-abnormal data can be calculated after the abnormal data is excluded to obtain the first measurement data of the to-be-measured liquid.

[0247] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the multiple current detection data are of the same type and there is abnormal data in the multiple current detection data, the first measurement data of the to-be-measured liquid is calculated according to the non-abnormal data, thereby improving the accuracy of the first measurement data.
