Manually replacing the test sample carriers placed in the electrochemical tester and infrared spectroscopy detector is cumbersome, highly repetitive, requires a large amount of manual work, takes up a lot of time of the staff, and is not very convenient to use.
[0003] For a manual pipette, there are also many problems. Specifically, it cannot automatically aspirate liquid based on the movement driven by a robotic arm and simulate the operation method of manually pressing the manual pipette to the first gear, pausing for a period of time (1 - 3 s), and then pressing to the second gear of the manual pipette to squeeze out all the remaining liquid after the remaining liquid has gathered, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of the liquid volume during the pipetting process; there is also no structure for tightly fixing the connection between the pipette tip of the manual pipette and the disposable pipette tube, resulting in a weak sealing effect at the connection; moreover, there is no structure for cleaning the position of the manual pipette tip where it is connected to the disposable pipette tube.

The pressing type inflating part inflates the inflatable airbag strip under the pressing of the push plate. The inflation makes the inflatable airbag strip gradually expand and bulge, so that the liquid suction pad contacts the manual pipette gun tip, and the liquid stains on the manual pipette gun tip are adsorbed through the liquid suction pad to achieve the cleaning effect.

[0062] A multi-station electrochemical tester 6 is provided on the top of the working platform 1. The six-axis robotic arm 4 replaces and places the test sample carrier placed in the multi-station electrochemical tester 6 through the fixture connected thereto.

[0064] An electrode rod assembly 63 is provided inside the reaction cell 62. A fixed bracket 64 is provided on the top of the reaction cell 62. A photoelectric sensor 65 is provided on the fixed bracket 64. A positioning plate 66 is provided on the reaction cell 62 between the photoelectric sensor 65 and the telescopic member 68. An insertion slot is opened on the top of the reaction cell 62. The height of the positioning plate 66 is lower than the height of the photoelectric sensor 65;
[0065] After the photoelectric sensor 65 detects the signal that the carbon paper 69 is inserted into the reaction cell 62, the telescopic member 68 extends to press and fix the carbon paper 69 on the positioning plate 66.
[0066] Preferably, a protective pad 67 is laid on one side of the positioning plate 66 close to the telescopic member 68, which has a certain protective and buffering effect.

Among them, the push plate 918 is fixedly connected to the piston rod, and the outer cylinder is fixedly connected to the tap tube pressing part fixing plate 912.
[0108] When the push rod 914 extends and moves to drive the push plate 918 to press the piston rod of the push-type inflator 919, the inflatable airbag strip 921 is inflated.
[0109] After inflation, the inflatable airbag strip 921 expands, and the liquid absorption pad 922 contacts the tip of the manual pipette 91 to adsorb the liquid stain on the tip of the manual pipette 91.
[0110] When the push rod 914 retracts and moves to drive the push plate 918 to pull the piston rod of the push-type inflator 919, the gas inside the inflatable airbag strip 921 is extracted.
[0111] After air extraction, the inflatable airbag strip 921 collapses, and the two clamping sections 9162 press the disposable pipette tightly against the tip of the electric pipetting assembly 9. The inflatable airbag strip 921 and the liquid absorption pad 922 play a role in enhancing the sealing performance between the clamping section 9162 and the disposable pipette.
[0112] When the third pusher 913 extends, it drives the push rod 914 to move away from the tap tube pressing part fixing plate 912, so as to drive the two clamping members 916 to move away from each other through the push rod 914, the push block 915, and the connecting rod 917. At this time, the push plate 918 presses the piston rod of the push-type inflator 919.
[0113] When the third pusher 913 retracts, it drives the push rod 914 to move closer to the tap tube pressing part fixing plate 912, so as to drive the two clamping members 916 to move towards each other through the push rod 914, the push block 915, and the connecting rod 917. At this time, the push plate 918 pulls the piston rod of the push-type inflator 919.
[0114] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a disposable pipette support frame 10 is further placed on the top of the working platform 1, and a number of disposable pipettes are placed on the disposable pipette support frame 10;
[0115] The first pusher 95, the second pusher 97, and the third pusher 913 are all electric push rods.
[0116] During use, the electric pipetting assembly 9 is placed on the top of the working platform 1. The six-axis robotic arm 4 is driven to move through the slide rail 2 and the sliding base 3 to adjust the position of the six-axis robotic arm 4. The pipette connector 53 and the pipette connection seat 99 are clamped, so that the pipette fixing seat 92 is fixedly connected to the six-axis robotic arm 4. Thus, the six-axis robotic arm 4 drives the manual pipette 91 and the pipette fixing seat 92 to move together;
[0117] First, drive the manual pipette 91 to move until the tip of the manual pipette 91 is aligned with one of the disposable pipettes, and move downward to make the disposable pipette clamped on the tip of the electric pipetting assembly 9; then drive the manual pipette 91 to move until the tip of the manual pipette 91 is aligned with the test sample storage bottle, and push the suction and discharge rod pressing part mounting plate 911 to move by the first pusher 95, so as to aspirate the test sample; drive the manual pipette 91 to move until the tip of the manual pipette 91 is aligned with the test sample dispensing bottle, and push the suction and discharge rod pressing part mounting plate 911 to move by the first pusher 95. The pressure sensor 96 detects the resistance received by the suction and discharge rod pressing part mounting plate 911. When the resistance is within the target value range, the first pusher 95 pauses first and then continues to extend, simulating manual operation;
[0118] It should be noted that the target value range of the received resistance is set according to the actual situation;
[0119] Drive the manual pipette 91 to move to the position for removing the disposable pipette. The pressing component opens, and the second pusher 97 extends to push the tap tube pressing part fixing plate 912 to move towards the tip of the manual pipette 91, so as to push off the disposable pipette clamped on the tip of the manual pipette 91 and separate it from the tip of the manual pipette 91. Among them, after the pressing component opens, the liquid stain on the tip of the manual pipette 91 is cleaned by the cleaning component, that is, the liquid stain on the tip of the manual pipette 91 is adsorbed by the liquid absorption pad 922.
[0120] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
