[0018] S4: Each cell in the cell suspension moves on the laser beam emitted by the laser, and each cell in the sample is analyzed individually in conjunction with the first lens and the first detector.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. The present invention is provided with an adjustable flow chamber. By rotating four threaded rods, the corresponding first guide plate can be pushed to move toward the middle or side at the same time through the push rod on the connecting plate. At this time, the first guide plate can push the corresponding fourth guide plate to move synchronously through the fixed rod. In conjunction with the second guide plate and the third guide plate, the diameter of the flow channel can be conveniently adjusted according to the size of the cells.

The present invention is provided with a uniform processing component, which is driven by a servo motor and can drive the sleeve to rotate stably through the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear. At this time, the sleeve can drive the first conveying cylinder on each fixed tube to perform circular motion through the stirring blade. At the same time, the meshing between the circular gear and the tooth block can drive the first screw rod in the first conveying cylinder to automatically rotate during the revolution, so that the sheath liquid at the bottom of the first storage box can be transported to the top. In this way, the cycle, combined with the continuous stirring of each stirring blade, can be used to efficiently and uniformly stir the sheath liquid in the first storage box, thereby avoiding the problem of uneven distribution of the internal components of the sheath liquid due to stratification or precipitation during long-term storage of the sheath liquid. The use of uniform sheath liquid can reduce the viscosity of the liquid, improve fluidity, and make it easier for cells to pass through the flow cytometer, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent cell analysis and increasing the diversity and stability of the flow cytometer.
[0022] 3. The present invention is provided with a self-cleaning component. Before starting cell detection, the second hydraulic rod can be used to drive the mounting plate to reciprocate up and down, thereby driving the first lens, the second lens and each filter to move synchronously. At the same time, the mounting plate can pull the traction rope to drive the second spiral rod to rotate automatically, thereby automatically transporting the clean water in the second storage box to each first sponge frame. At this time, each first sponge frame can be used to automatically clean the first lens, the second lens and each filter, thereby avoiding the problem that dust or impurities attached to the first lens, the second lens and each filter affect the transmittance of light, resulting in signal attenuation or distortion, thereby affecting the accuracy of the data. The resolution of the flow cytometer in particle analysis can be further improved.
[0023] 4. The present invention is provided with a card rod and a card slot. By utilizing the cooperation of the card rod and the card slot, combined with the positioning frame and the positioning block, the first lens, the second lens and each filter can be easily disassembled and installed, thereby ensuring the convenience of subsequent replacement of the first lens, the second lens and each filter, thereby increasing the diversity and convenience of use of the flow cytometer.
[0024] 5. The present invention is provided with a collecting box, a second sponge frame and a sponge plate. The collecting box can be used to collect the used sheath fluid and cell suspension as waste liquid. At the same time, with the cooperation of the second sponge frame and each sponge plate, it can effectively avoid sputtering during the waste liquid collection process to cause internal pollution of the equipment or the surrounding environment. In addition, by utilizing the magnetism of the magnetic plate, the collection box can be easily disassembled and installed, thereby ensuring the convenience of subsequent transportation and treatment of the waste liquid.

[0059] It should be noted that the present invention is a flow cytometer capable of improving particle resolution and a method for using the same. First, the staff member takes a sample from a cell, tissue or organism, and after preparing a single cell suspension, the sample can be transported into a test tube 7. At this time, the staff member can open the first door panel 3 on the protective housing 1, and place the test tube 7 in the placement frame 6. Then, by driving the first hydraulic rod 5, the placement frame 6 can be pushed upward, and the test tube 7 can be pushed upward, so that the first connecting tube 821 can be stably inserted into the test tube 7.
[0060] Then the staff can drive the servo motor 904 on the first storage box 901 and the second hydraulic rod 11 in the protective shell 1. Under the driving action of the servo motor 904, the second bevel gear 906 can be driven to rotate through the first bevel gear 905 on the output shaft, and then the sleeve 907 can be driven to rotate stably in the first storage box 901. At this time, under the continuous rotation of the sleeve 907, the stirring blade 908 can drive each fixed tube 909 to perform circular motion, and then the corresponding first conveying cylinder 910 of each fixed tube 909 can be driven to perform synchronous circular motion. During the movement of each first conveying cylinder 910, the circular gear 912 on the internal first spiral rod 911 can be driven to perform circular motion on the tooth block 913, that is, revolution. During the revolution of the circular gear 912, the meshing with the tooth block 913 can drive the circular gear 912 to automatically rotate during the revolution, and then drive the first screw rod 911 to automatically rotate inside the first conveying cylinder 910 during the revolution. At this time, under the continuous rotation of the first screw rod 911, the sheath liquid at the bottom of the first storage box 901 can be sucked through the first conveying cylinder 910, and the sheath liquid at the bottom can be transported to the top in cooperation with the fixed tube 909. By utilizing the circulation of the sheath liquid and the continuous stirring of each stirring blade 908, the sheath liquid in the first storage box 901 can be efficiently and evenly stirred, thereby avoiding the problem of stratification or precipitation of the sheath liquid during long-term storage, which leads to uneven distribution of the internal components of the sheath liquid.
[0061] At the same time, under the driving action of the second hydraulic rod 11, the mounting plate 12 can be driven to move upward first and then downward. When the mounting plate 12 moves downward, under the limiting action of the support plate 10, it can ensure that the mounting plate 12 can be easily and accurately reset to avoid movement deviation affecting the accuracy of subsequent detection work; when the mounting plate 12 moves upward, it can drive the first lens 14, the second lens 15 and each filter 16 installed in the card-engaged state to move upward synchronously until they move to above the first sponge frame 2503. At the same time, under the movement action of the mounting plate 12, the end of the traction rope 2510 can be driven to move upward synchronously. At this time, the spiral spring 2516 inside the limit frame 2515 Under the elastic action of the second screw rod 2508 in the second conveying cylinder 2507, the second screw rod 2508 can automatically rotate. At the same time, the second screw rod 2508 can automatically reel in the traction rope 2510 through the coil 2509 at the top to ensure the stability of the subsequent repeated working state of the traction rope 2510. At this time, under the automatic rotation of the second screw rod 2508, the clean water in the second storage box 2512 can be sucked and transported to the third conveying pipe 2506 through the second conveying cylinder 2507. Then, the clean water can be automatically transported to each first conveying pipe 2504 through the second conveying pipe 2505, and then can be transported to each first sponge frame 2503 to moisten the first sponge frame 2503;
[0062] Then, the second hydraulic rod 11 pushes the mounting plate 12 to move downward and reset. Under the downward action of the mounting plate 12, the traction rope 2510 on the guide wheel 2511 can be pulled. At this time, under the pulling action of the traction rope 2510, the second spiral rod 2508 can be driven to rotate in the opposite direction through the coil 2509. At this time, the spiral feeding direction of the second spiral rod 2508 is opposite, and the clean water will not be transported further. However, at this time, the clean water has been absorbed inside each first sponge frame 2503, which is enough for use. At this time, under the movement of the mounting plate 12, the first lens 14 installed in the card can be driven The second lens 15 and each filter 16 move downward synchronously to reset, and in the process of their movement, they can pass through each first sponge frame 2503. Under the action of each first sponge frame 2503, the dust and impurities attached to the end faces of the first lens 14, the second lens 15 and each filter 16 can be automatically cleaned, so as to avoid the dust or impurities attached to the first lens 14, the second lens 15 and each filter 16 affecting the transmittance of light, causing signal attenuation or distortion, thereby affecting the accuracy of data, and thus effectively improving the resolution of the flow cytometer in particle analysis;
[0063] Then the staff can adjust the bottom flow diameter of the first guide frame 802 and the bottom flow diameter of the second guide frame 813 according to the cell size. The staff can rotate the four threaded rods 804 on the fixed frame 803. Under the rotation of the threaded rods 804, the connecting plate 805 can be pushed to move downward. At the same time, under the limiting and guiding action of the telescopic sleeve rod 808, each threaded rod 804 can push the corresponding first guide plate 807 to move to the middle or side at the same time through the push rod 806 on the connecting plate 805. Under the movement of each first guide plate 807, the first rubber block 809 and the second rubber block 811 can adjust the inclination angle of the second guide plate 810. The first guide plate 807 is used to adjust the bottom flow diameter of the first guide frame 802 in cooperation with the alternate first rubber plates 812 under the movement of the first guide plate 807; similarly, during the movement of each first guide plate 807, the corresponding fourth guide plate 817 can be pushed to move toward the middle or the side at the same time through the fixing rod 819, and under the movement of each fourth guide plate 817, the third rubber block 814 and the fourth rubber block 816 can be used to adjust the inclination angle of the third guide plate 815, and under the movement of each fourth guide plate 817, the alternate second rubber plates 818 can be used to synchronously adjust the bottom flow diameter of the second guide frame 813;
[0064] Then the staff can drive the first liquid pump 820 and the second liquid pump 822. Under the driving action of the first liquid pump 820, the cell suspension in the test tube 7 can be sucked through the first connecting tube 821. At the same time, under the driving action of the second liquid pump 822, the sheath liquid inside the first storage box 901 can be sucked through the second connecting tube 823 and the sleeve 907. Before the sheath liquid is sucked, the stirring work of the sheath liquid can be stopped. At this time, under the suction and delivery action of the sheath liquid, the second connecting tube 823 can The sheath liquid is transported to the diversion frame 824, and then the diversion frame 824 can be uniformly transported to the first guide frame 802 through the various guide holes 825 at the bottom. At the same time, under the suction and transport action of the first connecting tube 821, the cell suspension can be transported to the second guide frame 813. At this time, under the synchronous flow action of the cell suspension and the sheath liquid, the sheath liquid can create a laminar flow environment, reducing the friction between the cells and the inner wall of the flow channel, so that the cells can stably pass through the detection area in a single form to avoid aggregation and mutual interference;
[0065] When the cell suspension flows downward, individual cells in the cell suspension can pass through the laser beam generated by the laser 22 one by one. After irradiating the cells, the forward scattered light is irradiated onto the first detector 23 through the first lens 14. Similarly, the side scattered light is irradiated onto the filter 16 through the second lenses 15 on the front and rear sides, and then reflected to the corresponding second detector 24. By collecting and detecting the side scattered light on the front and rear sides, the detection accuracy can be further improved. The collected optical signals are converted into electrical signals, and after computer analysis, the characteristic data of the cells, such as quantity, size, fluorescence intensity, etc., are generated.
[0066] The waste liquid after detection can automatically fall into the collection box 26, and the collection box 26 can be used to collect the used sheath liquid and cell suspension. At the same time, with the cooperation of the second sponge frame 28 and each sponge plate 29, it can effectively avoid the occurrence of sputtering in the process of waste liquid collection, which may cause internal pollution of the equipment or pollution of the surrounding environment. After the detection work is completed, the staff only needs to pull the magnetic plate 27 outward until the magnetic plate 27 moves away from the protective shell 1. At this time, the magnetic plate 27 can drive the collection box 26 to move away from the protective shell 1, thereby ensuring the convenience of subsequent transportation and processing of the waste liquid, and the staff can take out the second sponge frame 28 for subsequent cleaning. The collection box 26 after cleaning can be stably inserted into the protective shell 1. The magnetism of the magnetic plate 27 can be used to conveniently complete the magnetic suction installation of the collection box 26, thereby ensuring the stability of the subsequent working state of the collection box 26.
[0067] The staff can open the second door panel 4 on the protective housing 1, and then pull the lever 21 on the positioning frame 19 outward until the lever 21 moves out of the slot 18 on the positioning block 17. At this time, the positioning block 17 can move out of the positioning frame 19, thereby conveniently completing the disassembly of the first lens 14, the second lens 15 or each filter 16; similarly, when it is necessary to engage and install the first lens 14, the second lens 15 or each filter 16, it is only necessary to pull the lever 21 on the positioning frame 19 outward again. When the positioning block 17 on the first lens 14, the second lens 15 or each filter 16 is inserted into the positioning frame 19, the staff can then release the clamping rod 21. At this time, under the elastic action of the reset spring 20, the clamping rod 21 can be driven to rotate and engage in the clamping groove 18 on the positioning block 17, so that the first lens 14, the second lens 15 or each filter 16 can be easily installed. By easily completing the replacement of the first lens 14, the second lens 15 or each filter 16, the service life of the flow cytometer can be effectively improved.
