In order to complete the entire testing process, multiple testing rooms are sometimes required. For example, after the samples are purified, separated, pipetted, and filmed in one testing room, the samples are transferred to another testing room, and the processed samples are tested using the corresponding detector.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this embodiment provides a sample transfer mechanism, including a cavity 1, a ventilation component 2, a sealing component 3, and a moving component 4 located in the cavity 1, the cavity 1 is provided with a ventilation hole and two transfer windows 11, the moving component 4 includes a stage 41, the stage 41 can move from one transfer window 11 to another transfer window 11, the sealing component 3 includes two sealing plates 31, the two sealing plates 31 are respectively located at the two transfer windows 11, the sealing plates 31 can block the transfer windows 11, and the sealing plates 31 can be removed from the transfer windows 11, and the ventilation component 2 can replace the air in the cavity 1 through the ventilation hole. When the sample transfer mechanism is in use, its two transfer windows 11 correspond to the two detection chambers 5 respectively; in the initial state, the two closing plates 31 close the two transfer windows 11 respectively, and the sample to be transferred is located in one of the detection chambers 5, the closing plate 31 is moved away from the transfer window 11 corresponding to the detection chamber 5 to open the transfer window 11, and the sample enters the stage 41 in the cavity 1 through the opened transfer window 11, the closing plate 31 is reset to close the opened transfer window 11, the stage 41 drives the sample to move from the transfer window 11 to the other transfer window 11, the closing plate 31 at the other transfer window 11 is moved away to open the other transfer window 11, the sample enters the other detection chamber 5 from the other transfer window 11, and after one closing plate 31 is reset to the other closing plate 31 is moved away During the process, the ventilation component 2 will replace the air in the cavity 1 through the ventilation holes to replace the air entering the cavity 1 from one detection operation chamber 5 with clean air, thereby ensuring that after the other closing plate 31 is removed and the sample enters the other detection operation chamber 5 from the cavity 1, the clean air in the cavity 1 will not affect the air quality in the other detection operation chamber 5, avoiding the air in one detection operation chamber 5 entering the other detection operation chamber 5 and affecting the air quality in the other detection operation chamber 5 during the sample transfer process, and avoiding the situation in which the two detection operation chambers 5 are directly in contact with the outside air by directly opening the two detection operation chambers 5 for sample transfer, thereby affecting the air quality in the two detection operation chambers 5 and the outside environment, thereby improving the accuracy of the final sample detection and the quality of the on-site working environment.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, there are two ventilation holes, which are an air inlet and an air outlet respectively. The ventilation assembly 2 includes an air inlet pipe 21 and an air outlet pipe 22. One end of the air inlet pipe 21 is connected to the air inlet, one end of the air outlet pipe 22 is connected to the air outlet, and the other end of the air inlet pipe 21 is connected to the air inlet module 23. The air inlet module 23 includes an air inlet filter 231. The other end of the air outlet pipe 22 is connected to the air outlet module 24. The air outlet module 24 includes an air outlet filter. During the ventilation process, the new air is filtered by the air inlet filter 231 of the air inlet module 23, and then enters the cavity 1 through the air inlet pipe 21 and the air inlet, while the original air in the cavity 1 flows out of the cavity 1 through the air outlet and the air outlet pipe 22, and is filtered by the air outlet filter when flowing through the air outlet module 24, and then discharged to the set area. This method of replacing the air in the cavity 1 not only ensures that the new air entering the cavity 1 is clean air, but also prevents the pollutants in the original air in the cavity 1 from being directly discharged and affecting the air quality in the corresponding area. It is a very environmentally friendly operation method. Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the air intake module 23 also includes an air intake slot 232, the other end of the air intake pipe 21 is connected to the side wall of the air intake slot 232, and the air intake filter 231 is arranged at the opening of the air intake slot 232; the air outlet module 24 also includes an air outlet slot 241, the air outlet pipe 22 is connected to the side wall of the air outlet slot 241, and the air outlet filter is arranged at the opening of the air outlet slot 241. The air intake module 23 and the air outlet module 24 adopt this slot-type structural design and corresponding position design, which effectively improves the filtering efficiency of the filter, ensures that the filter has a good filtering effect on the flowing air, and ensures that the required air can flow smoothly, and also facilitates the assembly of the filter. In addition, in this embodiment, an air supply fan is also provided at the opening of the air intake slot 232, and an exhaust fan 242 is also provided at the opening of the air outlet slot 241. During the process of replacing the air in the cavity 1, the air supply fan will form an air supply effect at the opening of the air inlet slot 232 to send the outside air into the air inlet pipe 21 and the cavity 1 through the opening of the air inlet slot 232, and the outside air will be filtered by the air inlet filter 231 during this process; at the same time, the exhaust fan 242 will form an exhaust effect at the opening of the air outlet slot 241 to extract the original air in the cavity 1, and during this process, the outflowing air will be filtered by the air outlet filter and then discharged into the outside atmosphere. In this embodiment, the air supply fan is used for air supply and the exhaust fan 242 is used for exhaust operation, which improves the efficiency of replacing the air in the cavity 1. In this embodiment, the air inlet slot 232 and the air outlet slot 241 are fixed together. And the top wall of the cavity 1 is provided with two transfer windows 11, and the two transfer windows 11 are spaced apart in the left and right directions. And the air inlet and the air outlet are respectively located on the left and right side walls of the cavity 1.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the motion assembly 4 also includes a transfer drive motor 42 installed in the cavity 1, a driving wheel 43 installed on the output shaft of the transfer drive motor 42, a driven wheel 44 arranged in the cavity 1, and a transmission belt 45 installed on the driving wheel 43 and the driven wheel 44, and the stage 41 is connected to the transmission belt 45. During the sample transfer process, the transfer drive motor 42 drives the driving wheel 43 to rotate, the driving wheel 43 drives the transmission belt 45 and the driven wheel 44 to rotate, and the transmission belt 45 drives the stage 41 to move, so that the stage 41 can move from one transfer window 11 to another transfer window 11. At the same time, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the motion component 4 also includes a transfer rail 46 disposed in the cavity 1, and the stage 41 includes a slider 411, which cooperates with the transfer rail 46. During the movement of the stage 41, the slider 411 will slide along the transfer rail 46. The cooperation relationship between the slider 411 and the transfer rail 46 can ensure that the stage 41 moves accurately along the set path, thereby improving the movement stability of the stage 41, avoiding the sample spilling during the transfer process, and improving the operation stability and safety. In addition, the cooperation relationship between the slider 411 and the transfer rail 46 in this embodiment can play a role in bearing the weight of the stage 41, so that the transmission belt 45 only needs to pull the stage 41 to move along the transfer rail 46. Two stage in-position sensors are also provided in the cavity 1 of the present embodiment. In the initial state, when the stage 41 is in a position corresponding to one of the transfer windows 11, one of the stage in-position sensors will sense the stage 41 and measure that the stage 41 is in a set position; when the stage 41 moves to a position corresponding to another transfer window 11, the other stage in-position sensor will sense the stage 41 and measure that the stage 41 has moved into position accordingly.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the sealing assembly 3 in this embodiment further includes two lead screws 32, two nuts 33 respectively matched with the two lead screws 32, two closed drive motors 34 respectively used to drive the two lead screws 32 to rotate, two moving blocks 35 respectively connected with the two nuts 33, and a closed guide rail 36, wherein the moving block 35 includes a closed slider 351, the closed slider 351 matches with the closed guide rail 36, and the two closed plates 31 are respectively mounted on the two moving blocks 35. When one of the closed drive motors 34 is running, it will drive one of the lead screws 32 to rotate, thereby driving the corresponding moving block 35 to move along the closed guide rail 36 through the corresponding nut 33, and at the same time, the moving block 35 drives the corresponding closed plate 31 to move, so as to realize that the closed plate 31 is moved away from the corresponding transfer window 11, or the closed plate 31 is moved to the corresponding transfer window 11 to block the transfer window 11. This embodiment adopts a screw transmission structure to realize the movement of the closing plate 31, thereby improving the movement stability of the closing plate 31, ensuring that the closing plate 31 can accurately move to the corresponding transfer window 11 to accurately block the transfer window 11, and can also accurately move away from the transfer window 11 when necessary.

[0052] The sample transfer mechanism in this embodiment also includes a controller. A closed plate in-place sensor for detecting whether the closed plate 31 has moved to its proper position is also provided in the chamber 1 of this embodiment. The two stage in-place sensors and the closed plate in-place sensor feed back the detection information to the controller, and the controller controls the transfer drive motor 42 to rotate forward, reverse or stop according to the corresponding detection information, and controls the corresponding closed drive motor 34 to perform the corresponding action.

[0053] like Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a detection device, including two detection operation chambers 5, and the detection device also includes a sample transfer mechanism, two transfer windows 11 respectively corresponding to the two detection operation chambers 5, when the closing plate 31 is removed from the transfer window 11, the interior of the cavity 1 is connected to the interior of the detection operation chamber 5 through the transfer window 11. Based on the design of this sample transfer mechanism, in the process of transferring the sample in one of the detection operation chambers 5 to the other detection operation chamber 5, this detection device can effectively avoid the two detection operation chambers 5 from directly contacting with the outside air, causing the air quality in the two detection operation chambers 5 and the outside air quality to be affected, avoiding affecting the corresponding detection process, improving the accuracy of the detection, and avoiding affecting the on-site environment, improving the safety of on-site operations, etc. Moreover, based on the design of this sample transfer mechanism, this detection device can also effectively prevent the air in one detection operation chamber 5 from entering the other detection operation chamber 5 during the sample transfer process, ensuring that the two detection operation chambers 5 do not affect each other, thereby also improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0054] In this embodiment, the sample transfer mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the two detection operation rooms 5, and the two transfer windows 11 can also be regarded as openings on the bottom walls of the two detection operation rooms 5. The ventilation assembly 2, the motion assembly 4 and the closing assembly 3 are all located below the bottom walls of the two detection operation rooms 5, forming a sunken window transfer structure as a whole. At the same time, a corresponding mechanical arm and a clamp 6 connected to the mechanical arm are arranged in the detection operation room 5. In the process of transferring the sample in the detection operation room 5 to the stage 41 in the cavity 1, or transferring the sample on the stage 41 to another detection operation room 5, the mechanical arm is used to drive the clamp 6 to move to the PCR plate 8 containing the sample, and the lower end of the clamp 6 grabs the PCR plate 8. The mechanical arm then drives the clamp 6 and the PCR plate 8 to move to the set position, and the lower end of the clamp 6 releases the PCR plate 8 to realize the corresponding transportation of the sample. In this transportation process, the lower end of the clamp 6 needs to extend into the cavity 1 through the transfer window 11, so the clamp 6 will be longer than the commonly used clamp 6. When this type of clamp 6 is stored after use, if the clamp 6 is simply placed on the clamp support seat 7 in the inspection operation room 5 so that the lower ends of the two clamping plates 64 of the clamp 6 are directly in contact with the clamp support seat 7 to support the clamp 6, the clamp 6 will easily fall over due to the excessive length of the clamping plates 64 of the clamp 6 and the high center of gravity of the clamp 6. In particular, the clamp 6 is easily caused to fall over during the connection and disconnection process between the clamp 6 and the robot arm, which makes it difficult to normally connect the robot arm and the clamp 6. For this reason, if Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the clamping jaw 6 in this embodiment includes a support plate 61 located on the clamping jaw support seat 7, a clamping drive cylinder 62 installed on the support plate 61, a connecting head 63 installed on the clamping drive cylinder 62, and two clamping plates 64, the two clamping plates 64 are respectively located on both sides of the support plate 61, and the upper ends of the two clamping plates 64 are connected to the clamping drive cylinder 62, and the lower ends of the two clamping plates 64 are located below the support plate 61. That is, in the present embodiment, when the jaw 6 is stored, the support plate 61 of the jaw 6 is located on the jaw support seat 7, and the contact between the added support plate 61 and the jaw support seat 7 is utilized to realize the storage of the jaw 6 on the jaw support seat 7. The support plate 61 is much higher than the lower end position of the clamping plate 64, which is equivalent to lifting the point where the jaw 6 is supported by the force from the lower end of the original clamping plate 64 upward to the support plate 61. This force-bearing mode can effectively prevent the jaw 6 from tipping over due to the clamping plate 64 being too long and the center of gravity being too high, thereby ensuring that the jaw 6 can stand stably on the jaw support seat 7, and further ensuring that the subsequent connector 63 of the jaw 6 can be accurately and smoothly connected to the robotic arm. In addition, in this embodiment, two positioning holes are provided on the support plate 61, and two support shafts 71 are provided on the clamping jaw support seat 7. The ends of the two support shafts 71 are respectively inserted into the two positioning holes to achieve accurate positioning of the clamping jaw 6 in its placement state, to ensure that the subsequent mechanical arm can accurately dock with the connector 63 of the clamping jaw 6, and to prevent the clamping jaw 6 from tipping over. In addition, in this embodiment, the clamping drive cylinder 62 is specifically a pneumatic cylinder, and the piston rod of the clamping drive cylinder 62 will drive the two clamping plates 64 to move closer or farther from each other, thereby clamping and loosening the PCR plate 8 containing the sample.

[0055] In this embodiment, the detection device can be a nucleic acid detection device for identifying a person, that is, a DNA detection device. The use of such a sample transfer mechanism can effectively avoid the situation where the working environment of the detection room is polluted, improve the accuracy of the test results, and greatly improve the transfer efficiency, thereby also improving the detection efficiency. In other embodiments, the detection device can also be a nucleic acid detection device for other purposes.

[0056] In summary, the present invention effectively overcomes various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.
