When the housing rotates, the blood sample is gathered toward the arc-shaped inner wall of the housing under the action of centrifugal force, and blood cells with larger size and higher density are gathered toward the periphery of the inner wall of the housing, while cells with smaller size and lower density are located near the center of the inner wall of the housing;

[0016] S2: Close the cover plate on the housing, and drive the rotating block to rotate through the second motor. The rotating block drives the adjusting component to work. The adjusting component pushes the first connecting tube upward. After the first connecting tube moves upward to a certain extent, it drives the connecting component to work.

[0019] 1. By providing the liftable first connecting cylinder, the second connecting cylinder, the third connecting cylinder and the fourth connecting cylinder, when the amount of blood sample to be sorted is large, the first connecting cylinder, the second connecting cylinder, the third connecting cylinder and the fourth connecting cylinder can be stored so that the device has enough accommodation space during the centrifugal separation process, thereby preventing blood from splashing out of the shell. When the amount of blood sample is small, the connecting cylinders can be lifted one by one from the inside to the outside, thereby reducing the volume in the shell, so that the internal space of the device can be adaptively adjusted during the centrifugal filtration process, thereby solving the problem that the existing cell sorting device cannot adjust the size of the centrifugal sorting space according to the amount of blood during centrifugal filtration.

[0020] 2. Through the adjustment component and the connection component on the device, after the second motor is started, the second motor will use the friction between the rotating block and the cylinder to drive the cylinder to rotate, and the cylinder drives the screw to rotate through the clamping block. When the screw rotates, it will drive the first guide block and the first cylinder to slide upward. When the first guide block slides upward, it will drive the first rotating ring to move upward through the convex ring. When the first rotating ring moves upward until it abuts against the second rotating ring, it will drive the second rotating ring to rotate. The second rotating ring will drive the second screw to rotate, thereby driving the second guide block and the second connecting cylinder to move upward, so that the device can drive different cylinders to move upward one by one from the inside to the outside, thereby enhancing the convenience of the device when used.

[0021] 3. The device is provided with a first connecting cylinder, a second connecting cylinder, a third connecting cylinder and a fourth connecting cylinder having the same connecting structure. During the separation of the blood sample, centrifugal force can be used to make cells with larger size and higher density in the blood sample closer to the outer wall of the shell, while cells with smaller size and lower density are closer to the central axis of the shell. The connecting cylinders in four positions can be lifted during the continuous rotation of the shell, thereby realizing the function of sorting cells of different sizes and densities, which solves the problem that the existing sorting device cannot separate cells of different densities and sizes during centrifugal separation by using multiple separation structures.

[0044] In this embodiment, the rotating block 18 is made of rubber material, and the rotating block 18 and the cylinder 1603 are in contact with each other. The rotating block 18 is an internal hollow conical structure. The second motor 5 and the support seat 1 are slidingly connected.

[0046] It should be noted that the present invention is a device for rapidly sorting rare blood cells and a method for using the same. First, Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, when the device is in use, first inject the blood sample into the housing 8, and the cover plate 22 is clamped and installed on the housing 8 through the rubber block 23. The counterweight block 24 can prevent the cover plate 22 from being opened during the centrifugal separation process. The first motor 301 on the driving assembly 3 drives the gear 302 to rotate, and the gear 302 drives the gear ring 303 to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 4 to rotate through the fixed rod 304. The turntable 4 rotates on the ball 6 on the support plate 2 to reduce the resistance of the turntable 4 to rotate, so that the turntable 4, the support rod 7 and the housing 8 rotate as a whole, and the blood sample in the rotating device is centrifuged and sorted. When the housing 8 rotates, the blood sample will gather to the arc-shaped inner wall of the housing 8 under the action of centrifugal force. The blood cells with larger size and higher density will gather to the periphery of the inner wall of the housing 8, and the cells with smaller size and lower density will be located near the center of the inner wall of the housing 8. Close the cover plate 22 on the housing 8, and drive the rotating block 18 to rotate through the second motor 5, and the rotating block 18 drives the adjustment assembly 16 to work. The friction between the rotating block 18 and the cylinder 1603 is used to drive the cylinder 1603 to rotate. The cylinder 1603 drives the first screw 1602 to rotate through the clamping block 19. When the first screw 1602 rotates, it drives the first guide block 1601 to move upward in the turntable 4, so that the first cylinder 1603 slides upward. When the first guide block 1601 slides upward, it drives the first rotating ring 1604 to move upward through the convex ring 1606. When the first rotating ring 1604 moves upward until it abuts against the second rotating ring 1704, since the outer sides of the first rotating ring 1604 and the second rotating ring 1704 are both provided with Longitudinal convex grooves, so the first rotating ring 1604 will drive the second rotating ring 1704 to rotate, and the second rotating ring 1704 will drive the second screw 1702 to rotate, thereby driving the second guide block 1701 and the second connecting cylinder 13 to move upward. When the first screw 1602 cannot rotate further, the cylinder 1603 will slide on the outside of the first screw 1602, the block 19 will be intermittently squeezed, and the spring 20 on the outside of the traction rope 21 will be intermittently compressed, so that the first screw 1602 remains stationary, and the cylinder 1603 continues to rotate and drives the second rotating ring 1704 to rotate continuously through the first rotating ring 1604.

[0047] like Figure 2-Figure 9 As shown, the first connecting tube 12 is pushed upward by the adjusting component 16. After the first connecting tube 12 moves upward to a certain extent, it will drive the connecting component 17 to work. When working, the connecting component 17 will automatically push the second connecting tube 13 upward. Since the connection structure between the first connecting tube 12 and the second connecting tube 13 is the same as the connection structure between the third connecting tube 14 and the fourth connecting tube 15, the third connecting tube 14 and the fourth connecting tube 15 can be progressively moved upward in the same way, thereby separating the space in the outer shell 8, and the filter tube 25 can be used to separate cells of different sizes and densities.

[0048] Before use, the volume inside the device can be adjusted according to the amount of blood to be separated. The first connecting cylinder 12 and the second connecting cylinder 13 can be driven to rise and fall by the adjusting component 16 and the connecting component 17. The third connecting cylinder 14 and the fourth connecting cylinder 15 can be driven to rise and fall in the same way, thereby dividing the internal space of the outer shell 8. When the cylinder body 1603 and the outer cylinder 1703 rotate, the cylinder body 1603 and the outer cylinder 1703 can be supported by the lap ring 28 on the bracket 27. Before use, the device can adapt to different blood sample volumes for cell sorting by pre-dividing the space inside the outer shell 8.

[0049] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various modifications may be made thereto and parts thereof may be replaced by equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various features in the embodiments disclosed in the present invention may be used in combination with each other in any manner, and the fact that these combinations are not exhaustively described in this specification is only for the sake of omitting space and saving resources. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
