The rotary cut valve is then switched to the detection flow channel, and the pump quantitatively sucks the water in the detection flow channel into the transfer flow channel. The rotary cut valve is then switched to the sample flow channel, and the pump draws the sample in the sample flow channel into the transfer flow channel and mixes it with the water in the transfer flow channel to form a diluted sample. The rotary cutting valve switches to the air flow channel again, and inhales external air to isolate the diluted sample in the transfer flow channel from the water in the detection flow channel.

[0014] In one embodiment, if dilution is required, then in step S5, the rotary cutting valve is switched to the air flow channel again, and after the external air is inhaled to isolate the diluted sample in the transfer flow channel from the water in the detection flow channel, it is also necessary to determine whether all the diluted samples need to be tested; If all the diluted samples are needed, the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection channel, and the pump pushes the diluted samples into the detection channel; The rotary cutting valve is switched to the air flow channel, and the pump sucks a certain amount of air into the transfer flow channel.

[0017] In one embodiment, before step S6, it is necessary to determine whether to extract multiple reagents. If only one reagent needs to be extracted, step S6 is performed; If multiple reagents need to be extracted, after step S6, the rotary cutting valve needs to be switched to the detection channel to push the reagents in the transfer channel into the detection channel to mix and react with the samples in the detection channel; After waiting for a preset time, the rotary cutting valve is switched to another reagent flow channel, and the pump draws the reagent in another corresponding reagent chamber into the transfer flow channel, and then the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection flow channel again, and the reagent is pushed into the detection flow channel again.

The inner end 411 of the transfer flow channel 41 is aligned with and connected to the bottom end of the central flow channel 11. The outer end 412 of the transfer flow channel 41 is also open toward the top surface of the rotor 4, and the projection of its outer end in the vertical direction is located on the projection of the circumference of the plurality of reagent wells 12 in the vertical direction. That is, as the rotor 4 rotates, the outer end 412 of the transfer flow channel 41 can be aligned with and connected to the bottom end of any reagent well 12, sample well 14 or detection well 13.

[0067] exist Figure 5In the illustrated embodiment, the transfer flow channel 41 is formed by a depression in the top surface of the rotor 4. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the transfer flow channel 41 may also be a flow channel located inside the rotor 4, with the outer end 412 and the inner end 411 both being arranged to be open toward the top surface of the rotor 4, the inner end 411 being connected to the central flow channel 11, and the outer end 412 being used to be connected to the reagent hole 12, the sample hole 14 or the detection hole 13. The present invention does not limit the specific implementation manner of the transfer flow channel 41.

[0068] The inner end 411 of the transfer channel 41 is connected to the central channel 11 and the common channel 111, and when the outer end 412 of the transfer channel 41 is aligned with the reagent hole 12, the common channel 111, the reagent hole 12 and the reagent chamber 21 are connected, and the pump 6 can extract the air in the common channel 111 and the reagent hole 12 to form a negative pressure, so as to draw the reagent in the reagent chamber 21 into the common channel 111. Of course, when the outer end 412 of the transfer channel 41 is aligned with the sample hole 14, the sample in the sample collection chamber can also be drawn into the common channel 111 in the same way.

[0069] In order to increase the sealing performance between the rotor 4 and the flow channel plate 1, a first sealing gasket 42 and a first supporting plate 43 are further provided between the rotor 4 and the flow channel plate 1.

[0072] In addition, in order to increase the sealing effect, the bottom surface of the first sealing pad 42 is provided with a plurality of first bottom sealing rings 424, and the top surface is provided with a plurality of first top sealing rings 423. The plurality of first bottom sealing rings 424 and the plurality of first top sealing rings 423 are respectively arranged around the first center hole 421 and the plurality of first sealing holes 422, that is, one of the first bottom sealing rings 424 and one of the first top sealing rings 423 are arranged around the first center hole 421, and the remaining first top sealing rings 423 and the first bottom sealing rings 424 are all arranged around the first sealing hole 422. The first top sealing ring 423 and the first bottom sealing ring 424 have the same shape and size, and their projections in the vertical direction also overlap. After the rotor 4 and the flow channel plate 1 are fixed, the plurality of first top sealing rings 423 and the plurality of first bottom sealing rings 424 are squeezed by the rotor 4 and the flow channel plate 1, so as to increase the sealing effect between the rotor 4 and the flow channel plate 1 and prevent the sample or reagent from overflowing from between the first center hole 421 and the first sealing hole 422.

[0073] Of course, in other embodiments, the first top sealing ring 423 or the first bottom sealing ring 424 may be provided separately as long as the sealing effect can be ensured.

The outer end of reagent flow channel 121 is used to be communicated with reagent chamber 21, and the outer end of reagent flow channel 121 diverges radially toward the outside of flow channel plate 1, so that the outer ends of two adjacent reagent flow channels 121 are spaced apart from each other and increase, which is convenient to increase the radial dimension of each reagent chamber 21 and increase the reagent storage capacity. It should be understood that in other embodiments, one end of all reagent flow channels 121 needs to be on a circumference, communicated with reagent hole 12, and the other end can be located inside the circumference, or it can be arranged to diverge toward the outside of the circumference, or, in some embodiments, the top of reagent hole 12 is directly communicated with reagent chamber 21, and reagent flow channel 121 does not need to be arranged.

[0081] In addition, in order to prevent the reagent from flowing radially in the second top sealing ring 442, a plurality of sealing rings 444 are further provided on the top surface of the second sealing gasket 44. The plurality of sealing rings 444 are respectively annular and extend around the plurality of second sealing holes 441, and the plurality of sealing rings 444 are located in the plurality of second top sealing rings 442. Each sealing ring 444 is divided into two parts along the circumferential direction, which are defined as an outer periphery and an inner periphery. The outer periphery is the part of the sealing ring 444 away from the center of the flow channel plate 1, and the inner periphery is the part close to the center. The outer periphery of each sealing ring 444 overlaps with the radial outer side of the second top sealing ring 442, and the inner periphery is located in the second top sealing ring 442.

[0082] The second sealing ring 444 is relatively small in shape to prevent the reagent from flowing radially in the second top sealing ring 442 .

[0083] The top surface of the second support plate 45 is also provided with a plurality of threaded holes 452, which are respectively connected to the plurality of second circumferential holes 451.

[0085] The first sealing gasket and the second sealing gasket are both made of silicone or rubber, the second support plate 45 is made of plastic, and the flow channel plate 1 is made of stainless steel. In order to increase the sealing effect of the second sealing gasket and enhance the pressing force between the second support plate 45 and the flow channel plate 1, as a preferred solution, a concave ring 453 is provided on the top surface of the second support plate 45, and the concave ring 453 extends along the circumference of the second support plate 45 and is located at the edge of the second support plate 45. A metal ring 454 is installed in the concave ring 453, and the metal ring 454 is preferably made of stainless steel. The metal ring 454, the second support plate 45, and the second sealing gasket are fixed to the flow channel plate 1 by a plurality of screws. The metal ring 454 has a high hardness and can enhance the squeezing force on the second sealing gasket 44.

[0086] The plurality of pins 46 can be directly inserted into each reagent cavity 21 of the reagent box 2. However, as a preferred solution, a connecting plate 47 and another sealing gasket are provided between the second support plate 45 and the reagent box 2. The sealing gasket cooperates with the connecting plate 47 to increase the sealing performance between the second support plate 45 and the reagent box 2. The sealing gasket is defined as a third sealing gasket 48.

[0087] Specifically, the connecting plate 47 is annular and is provided with a plurality of avoidance holes 471, which are through holes penetrating the connecting plate 47. The plurality of pins 46 respectively pass through the plurality of avoidance holes 471 and are then inserted into the plurality of reagent chambers 21.

[0088] The third sealing pad 48 is also annular and has a plurality of third sealing holes 481. After the tops of the plurality of insertion pins 46 penetrate through the plurality of avoidance holes 471 and the plurality of third sealing holes 481, the needle tips thereof are respectively inserted into the plurality of reagent chambers 21. The tops of the plurality of insertion pins 46 and the plurality of third sealing holes 481 are interference-fitted to prevent the reagent in the reagent chamber 21 from leaking out from the insertion pins 46.

[0089] The inner diameter of the third sealing gasket 48 is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting plate 47 . The connecting plate 47 is connected to the bottom end of the reagent box 2 through a plurality of screws near the center, and squeezes the third sealing gasket 48 .

[0090] The connecting plate 47 , the third sealing gasket 48 and the reagent box 2 are fixedly assembled and can be removed from the housing 8 together.

[0091] The reagent kit 2 is cylindrical and is located on the top surface of the third sealing pad 48. The reagent kit 2 is provided with a plurality of reagent chambers 21 extending in the vertical direction, and the bottom end of the reagent chamber 21 is opened, and the needle tip of the insertion needle 46 can be inserted into the reagent chamber 21 from the opening.

[0092] The top wall of the housing 8 is provided with a circular mounting hole 81. Figure 2 As shown, after the reagent kit 2, connecting plate 47 and third sealing gasket 48 are assembled, they can be installed into the housing 8 through the mounting hole 81, and the needle tips of multiple pins 46 are inserted into multiple reagent chambers 21 through the avoidance hole 471 of the mounting plate and the third sealing hole 481 of the third sealing gasket 48.

[0093] A micro switch having a contact is also provided at the radial outer edge of the second support plate 45. The connecting plate 47 is also provided with a trigger block 24, such as Figure 4 As shown, the trigger block 24 is aligned with the contact point in the vertical direction. After the reagent box 2 and the connecting plate 47 are installed in the housing 8, the trigger block 24 on the connecting plate 47 will trigger the contact point. In other words, after the reagent box 2 is installed in place, the micro switch will be turned on.

[0094] The micro switch is signal-connected or electrically connected to the control module. When the contact of the micro switch is touched, a signal indicating that the reagent kit 2 is in place is transmitted to the control module.

[0095] The inner wall of the mounting hole 81 is also provided with a guide groove 82, which is formed by the inner wall depression of the mounting hole 81. The radial outer side of the reagent box 2 is also provided with a positioning member 23 located in the guide groove 82, which is a long column and extends in the vertical direction of the reagent box 2.

[0096] When the reagent box 2 is installed, the positioning member 23 is matched with the guide groove 82 to facilitate the positioning and installation of the reagent box 2.

[0097] A pull ring 27 is provided at the top of the reagent box 2. Figure 1 , Fig.17 As shown, the pull ring 27 is annular and rotatably connected to the top of the reagent box 2. The pull ring 27 facilitates the reagent box 2 to be removed from the plurality of pins 46.

[0098] exist Fig.17 In the specific embodiment shown, a recessed installation groove 25 is provided on the top surface of the reagent box 2. The installation groove 25 may be a through groove extending in the vertical direction, or may be recessed in the vertical direction to a preset depth.

[0099] The mounting seat 22 is installed in the mounting groove 25. The mounting seat 22 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 25 and is provided with a rotating shaft 26. The rotating shaft 26 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 22. The pull ring 27 is annular and its two ends are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 26. Of course, in other embodiments, the rotating shaft 26 can also be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 25, and the two ends of the pull ring 27 are respectively rotatably connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 26.

[0100] Each reagent chamber of the reagent kit of the present invention is connected to the reagent flow channel of the rotary cutting valve. Through the rotation of a rotor, not only can a variety of reagents be driven into the flow channel plate, but also samples and clean water can be driven into the flow channel plate, which can not only complete the entire detection process, but also thoroughly clean the internal pipelines to improve the accuracy of the test. In addition, the reagent kit can hold more reagents, has a long use time, a large number of times, and requires less resources for detection. After the reagents in the reagent kit are used up, the reagent kit can be directly removed and replaced, and the operation method of replacing the reagent kit is simple.

[0101] The urine testing instrument 100 also includes a control module, which is connected to the micro switch, the driving member 5, the pump 6 and the detection component 3, and is used to receive signals from the micro switch and the detection component 3, and can also be used to control the operation of the driving member 5, the pump 6 and the detection component 3.

[0102] In one embodiment, the pump 6 is connected to the common flow channel 111 through three pipes, namely the first pipe, the second pipe and the third pipe, and two three-way valves are arranged between the three pipes, namely the water inlet three-way valve 71 and the air inlet three-way valve 72.

[0103] One end of the first pipeline is communicated with the common flow channel 111 , and one end of the third pipeline is connected to the plunger pump 6 .

[0104] The water inlet three-way valve 71 is connected to the other end of the first pipe, one end of the second pipe and the water inlet pipe respectively. The water inlet pipe is used to receive water in the water tank to facilitate cleaning of the flow channel and the detection cavity 32 in the flow channel plate 1.

[0105] The intake three-way valve 72 is connected to the other end of the second pipeline, the other end of the third pipeline and the intake pipeline respectively. The intake pipeline is used for exhaust or intake.

[0106] When it is necessary to extract a sample, the motor drives the rotor 4 to rotate so that the outer end of the transfer channel 41 is aligned with the sample hole 14, so that the common channel 111, the transfer channel 41 and the sample channel 141 are connected.

[0107] The air inlet three-way valve 72 and the water inlet three-way valve 71 are opened at the same time, so that the first pipeline, the second pipeline, and the third pipeline are connected. At this time, the first pipeline, the second pipeline, the third pipeline, the common flow channel 111, the transfer flow channel 41, and the sample flow channel 141 are connected. The pump 6 extracts the air in the common flow channel 111, the transfer flow channel 41, and the sample flow channel 141, and the common flow channel 111 and the sample flow channel 141 form a negative pressure, and the sample can enter the common flow channel 111 from the sample collection chamber.

[0108] When the reagent is extracted again, the rotor 4 is rotated so that the outer end of the transfer channel 41 is aligned with the reagent hole 12. The pump 6 draws the reagent in the reagent chamber 21 into the common channel 111.

[0109] The rotor 4 continues to rotate, so that the outer end of the transfer flow channel 41 is aligned with the detection hole 13. At this time, the common flow channel 111 is connected with the detection flow channel 131 and the detection cavity 32.

[0110] Then close the air inlet three-way valve 72 and open the water inlet three-way valve 71 to draw the air in the air inlet pipe into the third pipe. Then open the air inlet three-way valve 72 to connect the third pipe, the second pipe and the first pipe, push the air into the common flow channel 111, and push the sample and reagent in the common flow channel 111 into the detection chamber 32.

[0111] The detection chamber 32 of the detection plate 31 is connected to the detection channel 131 through a pipeline, and the sample and reagent can flow from the common channel 111 into the detection channel 131 and the detection chamber 32 .

[0112] The outer shell 8 is also provided with a plurality of pipe holes 83 , which facilitate the air inlet pipe, the water inlet pipe, the pipe connected with the sample flow channel 141 and the sewage discharge pipe to penetrate into the outer shell 8 .

[0113] As a preferred solution, a mixing chamber is further provided in the detection plate 31 , which is connected to the detection chamber 32 and has a width greater than that of the detection chamber 32 . The sample and reagent first enter the mixing chamber for mixing and then enter the detection chamber 32 for detection.

[0114] The mixing chamber 303 can be configured as a substantially circular chamber, or can be configured as a plurality of bends. Fig. 20 In the illustrated embodiment, the mixing chamber includes a first mixing bend 33 and a second mixing bend 34. The two ends of the first mixing bend 33 are respectively connected to the detection channel 131 and one end of the detection chamber 32, while the two ends of the second mixing bend 34 are respectively connected to one end of the sewage pipe and the other end of the detection chamber 32. The sewage pipe is connected to the second mixing bend 34, and the other end is located in the toilet.

[0115] The samples and reagents in the common flow channel 111 enter the detection chamber 32 from the first mixing bend 33, and then enter the second mixing bend 34. After staying for 1s-2s, the pump 6 operates in reverse to pump the samples and reagents in the second mixing bend 34 into the detection chamber 32. This process is repeated many times. The samples and reagents are repeatedly mixed in the first mixing bend 33, the detection chamber and the second mixing bend 34, and finally stay in the detection chamber 32 for detection.

[0116] After the detection, the pump 6 pushes the sample and reagent in the detection chamber 32 into the second mixing bend 34 in sequence and then into the sewage flow channel, and then enters the toilet from the sewage flow channel for discharge.

[0117] The present invention also relates to a control method of a urine tester 100, such as Fig. 27 and Fig.28 As shown, the urine testing instrument 100 of this embodiment also includes the above-mentioned rotary cutting valve, reagent kit 2, detection component 3 and plunger pump 6. The rotary cutting valve is also provided with a common flow channel 111, multiple reagent flow channels 121, a sample flow channel 141, a detection flow channel 131 and a transfer flow channel 41. One end of the transfer flow channel 41 is connected to the inner end of the common flow channel 111, and the other end can be switched with the rotary cutting valve and connected to the reagent flow channel 121, the sample flow channel 141 and the detection flow channel 131.

[0118] The difference is that this embodiment does not need to set a water inlet three-way valve, an air inlet three-way valve, a water inlet pipeline and an air inlet pipeline, but an air inlet hole and an air flow channel are set on the flow channel plate of the rotary cutting valve, and the air inlet hole is located on the circumference formed by the multiple reagent holes and is formed by the bottom surface depression of the flow channel plate; the inner end of the air flow channel is connected to the air inlet hole, and the outer end is open to the outside of the flow channel plate, and the outer end is used to draw air into the rotary cutting valve. The implementation method of the air flow channel and the reagent flow channel is the same, and the transfer flow channel 41 can be switched with the rotary cutting valve and connected to the air flow channel.

[0119] In addition, in this embodiment, the common flow channel 111 is connected to the clean water collection chamber through a pipeline, and the pipeline includes a first section 106 and a second section 107. The two ends of the first section 106 are connected to the common flow channel 111 and the outlet of the pump 6, and the two ends of the second section 107 are connected to the inlet of the pump 6 and the clean water collection chamber containing clean water. The first section 106 is provided with a control valve, which is defined as the first valve 108. The second section 107 is provided with another valve, which is defined as the second valve 109.

[0120] The urine test instrument 100 further includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a fingerprint module and a warning light. The first sensor is located in the sample collection chamber and is used to sense sample liquid level information, while the second sensor is located in the clean water collection chamber and is used to sense clean water level information.

[0121] The control module is connected to the first sensor, the second sensor, the fingerprint module, the detector, the warning light, the rotary cutting valve and the pump 6, and can control the operation of the plunger pump 6, the detector and the rotary cutting valve, and receive information from the first sensor, the second sensor and the detector.

[0122] like Fig. 27 and Fig.28 As shown, the control method of the urine test instrument 100 includes the following steps: S1: the rotary cutting valve switches to the sample flow channel 141 , the first valve 108 opens, the pump 6 pulls down to draw the sample into the transfer flow channel 41 , and then the rotary cutting valve switches to the detection flow channel 131 , and the pump 6 pushes the sample in the transfer flow channel 41 into the detection flow channel 131 .

[0123] S2: The first valve 108 is closed, the second valve 109 is opened, and the pump 6 pumps clean water into the second section 107. Then the first valve 108 is opened, the second valve 109 is closed, and the pump 6 pumps clean water in the second section 107 into the common flow channel 111 and the transfer flow channel 41. Step S2 may need to be repeated multiple times to pump the clean water in the clean water collection chamber into the transfer flow channel 41, and a part of the clean water collection chamber is left in the first section 106 and the second section 107. Finally, the first valve 108 and the second valve 109 are closed.

[0124] S3: Open the first valve 108, and the pump 6 pushes the clean water in the transfer channel 41 into the detection channel 131. It is also necessary to push the water sample in the detection channel 131 into the detection chamber 32 and discharge it from the detection chamber 32.

[0125] If the plunger pump 6 has insufficient stroke, the rotary cutting valve is first switched to the air channel, the pump 6 is pulled down to draw air into the transfer channel 41, and then the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection channel 131, the plunger pump 6 is reset, and the water and sample in the detection channel 131 are pushed into the detection chamber 32 and discharged from the detection chamber 32. After that, the rotary cutting valve is reset, and the rotary cutting valve reset is a state in which the other end of the transfer channel 41 is closed and not connected to the air channel, the detection channel 131, the sample channel 141 or the reagent channel 121.

[0126] The first three steps are to suck the sample into the sample flow channel 141 and clean water into the common flow channel 111 for subsequent quantitative use.

[0127] S4: Repeat step S2, the pump 6 pumps the clean water into the second section 107, and then pumps the water in the second section 107 into the detection channel 131, and flows into the detection chamber 32 from the detection channel 131. The detector detects the clean water in the detection chamber 32, and the detection result is used as a reference value.

[0128] Of course, if the stroke of the plunger pump 6 is insufficient, after the air is drawn into the detection channel 131, the rotary cutting valve needs to be switched to the air channel, the plunger pump 6 rotates forward to absorb a certain amount of air, and then the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection channel 131, the plunger pump 6 is reset, and the water in the detection channel 131 is pushed into the detection chamber 32 for detection.

[0129] S5: The rotary cutting valve switches to the air flow channel, and quantitatively draws external air into the transfer flow channel 41. Then the rotary cutting valve switches to the sample flow channel 141, and the pump 6 quantitatively draws the sample in the sample flow channel 141 into the transfer flow channel 41. Air is first drawn into the transfer flow channel 41, and then the sample is drawn into the transfer flow channel 41. This part of air is located between the clean water and the sample in the common flow channel 111, preventing the clean water and the sample in the common flow channel 111 from mixing.

[0130] S6: the rotary cutting valve is switched to the reagent flow channel 121 , and the pump 6 draws the reagent in the reagent chamber 21 into the transfer flow channel 41 .

[0131] The reagent chamber 21 and the reagent flow channel 121 are in a connected state, so after each installation of the reagent kit 2, the reagent in the reagent chamber 21 will be drawn into the reagent flow channel 121, so the reagent in the reagent flow channel 121 can be directly drawn into the transfer flow channel 41 in a quantitative manner.

[0132] S7 : the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection channel 131 , and the pump 6 pushes the sample and reagent in the transfer channel 41 into the detection channel 131 , and then pushes them into the detection chamber 32 from the detection channel 131 .

[0133] If the stroke of the plunger pump 6 is insufficient, after pushing the sample and reagent into the detection channel 131, the rotary cutting valve can be switched to the air channel, and after extracting some air from the outside, the rotary cutting valve can be switched to the detection channel 131 again to push the sample and reagent in the detection channel 131 into the detection chamber 32.

[0134] S8: The detector detects the sample in the detection chamber 32 .

[0135] S9: Repeat step S2 to pump clean water into the second section 107 and the common flow channel 111, and then push the clean water in the common flow channel 111 into the detection flow channel 131, flow into the detection cavity 32 from the detection flow channel 131 and then be discharged to clean the detection cavity 32.

[0136] S10: the rotary cutting valve is switched to the sample flow channel 141, and then step S2 is repeated, the pump 6 pushes the clean water in the common flow channel 111 into the sample flow channel 141, and the water flows from the sample flow channel 141 into the sample collection cavity and then is discharged.

[0137] It should be understood that before step S1, after the operator triggers the fingerprint module, the fingerprint module transmits a signal to the control module, and the control module starts the detection step of the urine test instrument 100.

[0138] Moreover, before step S1, the first sensor will transmit the detected sample liquid level information to the control module, and the second sensor will transmit the sensed clean water liquid level information to the control module. If the control module determines that the sample liquid level and the clean water liquid level information meet the requirements, step S1 is performed; if one of the sample liquid level and the clean water liquid level does not meet the requirements, the process is terminated.

[0139] Optionally, before step S5, it is also necessary to determine whether the sample needs to be diluted. If dilution is not required, proceed to step S5; If dilution is required, in step S5, after the pump 6 pushes the water in the common flow channel 111 into the detection flow channel 131, the rotary cut valve switches to the air flow channel, quantitatively draws external air into the transfer flow channel 41, and isolates the water in the detection flow channel 131 from the water in the common flow channel 111.

[0140] Then, the rotary cutting valve switches to the detection flow channel 131 , and the pump 6 draws a quantitative amount of water from the detection flow channel 131 into the transfer flow channel 41 .

[0141] Then the rotary cutting valve switches to the sample flow channel 141 , and the pump 6 draws a quantitative amount of the sample in the sample flow channel 141 into the transfer flow channel 41 and mixes it with the water in the transfer flow channel 41 to form a diluted sample.

[0142] The rotary cutting valve is switched to the air flow channel again, and the external air is quantitatively inhaled to isolate the diluted sample in the transfer flow channel 41 from the water in the detection flow channel 131 .

[0143] Furthermore, during the sample dilution step, that is, after step S5 is completed, the rotary cutting valve switches to the air flow channel again, and the external air is inhaled to isolate the diluted sample in the transfer flow channel 41 from the water in the detection flow channel 131. It is also necessary to determine whether all the diluted samples need to be tested.

[0144] In some detection projects, samples with a higher dilution factor need to be diluted. In this case, more clean water needs to be drawn into the detection channel 131. However, not all diluted samples are needed for detection. Therefore, in step S5, that is, before step S6, it is necessary to determine whether all samples need to be tested.

[0145] If all the diluted samples are needed, the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection channel 131 , and the pump 6 is reset to push the diluted samples into the detection channel 131 .

[0146] The rotary cutting valve switches to the air flow channel, and the pump 6 rotates forward to suck a certain amount of air into the transfer flow channel 41. Then the rotary cutting valve switches to the detection flow channel 131, and the pump 6 sucks all the diluted samples of the detection flow channel 131 into the transfer flow channel 41 again.

[0147] If only a portion of the diluted sample is needed, the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection channel 131 , and the pump 6 pushes the diluted sample into the detection channel 131 ; The rotary cutting valve switches to the air flow channel, and the pump 6 sucks a certain amount of air into the transfer flow channel 41. Then the rotary cutting valve switches to the detection flow channel 131, and the pump 6 quantitatively extracts the diluted sample of the detection flow channel 131 into the transfer flow channel 41. Then the rotary cutting valve switches to the air flow channel and quantitatively extracts air into the transfer flow channel 41. Then the rotary cutting valve switches to the detection flow channel 131 again, pushes the absorbed air into the detection flow channel 131, and isolates the diluted sample of the detection flow channel 131 from the diluted sample of the transfer flow channel 41.

[0148] Preferably, in an embodiment in which a first mixing bend 33 and a second mixing bend 34 are provided in the detection plate 31, in step S7, after the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection channel 131, the plunger pump 6 pushes the sample and reagent in the transfer channel 41 into the detection channel 131, and the sample and reagent flow from the detection channel 131 and the first mixing bend 33 into the detection chamber 32, and then the plunger pump 6 rotates forward for a preset time and then reverses for a preset time, driving the sample and reagent in the detection chamber 32 to circulate in the first mixing bend 33, the detection chamber 32 and the second mixing bend 34, and finally flow into the detection chamber 32.

[0149] More preferably, S7: the rotary cutting valve switches to the detection channel 131, the pump 6 pushes the sample and reagent in the transfer channel 41 into the detection channel 131, and flows from the detection channel 131 into the second mixing bend 34 from the first mixing bend 33 and the detection chamber 32 in turn, and then stays for 1s-2s, and then the sample and reagent in the second mixing bend 34 are drawn into the detection chamber 32 and the first mixing bend 33, and after multiple cycles, finally flow into the detection chamber 32.

[0150] Staying for 2 seconds during the mixing process will increase the mixing effect.

[0151] Optionally, before step S6, it is also necessary to determine whether to extract multiple reagents. If it is required to extract one reagent, step S6 is performed; If multiple reagents are extracted, after step S6, the rotary cutting valve needs to be switched to the detection channel 131 to push the reagents in the transfer channel 41 into the detection channel 131 and mix with the samples in the detection channel 131 for reaction; After waiting for a preset time, the rotary cutting valve switches to another reagent flow channel 121, and the pump 6 draws the reagent in another corresponding reagent chamber 21 into the transfer flow channel 41, and then the rotary cutting valve switches to the detection flow channel 131 again, and pushes the reagent into the detection flow channel 131 again.

[0152] Optionally, after step S10, if the control module determines that the detection result is abnormal, steps S1 to S10 are restarted; if the detection result is normal, the next detection item is performed.

[0153] After step S10, the control module determines that two consecutive detection results are abnormal, and then controls the warning light to send out a warning signal.

[0154] Optionally, the rotary cutting valve is further provided with a washing channel. The urine testing instrument 100 further comprises a washing liquid and a washing chamber for containing the washing liquid; After the steps S1 to S10 are cycled for a preset number of times or after a preset time, it is necessary to determine whether the reagent kit 2 needs to be replaced. If the reagent kit 2 needs to be replaced, the following steps are performed: S01: the first valve 108 is closed, the second valve 109 is opened, the pump 6 pumps clean water into the second section 107, then the first valve 108 is opened, the second valve 109 is closed, the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection flow channel 131, and the pump 6 pumps clean water in the second section 107 into the common flow channel 111, the transfer flow channel 41 and the detection flow channel 131; S02: the rotary cutting valve is switched to the washing channel, and the pump 6 pumps the washing liquid into the transfer channel 41; S03: the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection channel 131, the pump 6 pushes the washing liquid in the transfer channel 41 into the detection channel 131 and mixes it with clean water to form a diluted washing liquid, and then pumps the diluted washing liquid into the transfer channel 41; S04: the rotary cutting valve switches to a plurality of reagent flow channels 121 in sequence, and after each switching, the pump 6 pushes the dilution washing liquid in the transfer flow channel 41 into the reagent flow channel 121 and into the reagent chamber 21; If the diluted washing solution is insufficient, steps S01 to S04 need to be repeated to fill each reagent flow channel 121 with the diluted washing solution.

[0155] S05: the rotary cutting valve switches the plurality of reagent flow channels 121 again, and the pump 6 pushes the clean water in the common flow channel 111 into the reagent flow channels 121 and into the reagent chamber 21 in sequence; If the clean water is insufficient, step S01 needs to be repeated to draw enough clean water into the common flow channel 111 , and then push the clean water into the multiple reagent flow channels 121 , push the clean water into the reagent chamber 21 , and clean the reagent flow channels 121 again.

[0156] S06: Replace the reagent kit 2.

[0157] Optionally, after the steps S1 to S10 are cyclically operated for a preset number of times, regular maintenance is required, and the steps further include: S001: the first valve 108 is closed, the second valve 109 is opened, the pump 6 pumps clean water into the second section 107, then the first valve 108 is opened, the second valve 109 is closed, the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection flow channel 131, and the pump 6 pumps clean water in the second section 107 into the common flow channel 111, the transfer flow channel 41 and the detection flow channel 131; S002: the rotary cutting valve is switched to the washing channel, and the pump 6 pumps the washing liquid into the transfer channel 41; S003: the rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection flow channel 131, and the pump 6 pushes the washing liquid in the transfer flow channel 41 into the detection flow channel 131 and mixes with clean water to form a diluted washing liquid; S004: the rotary cutting valve is switched to the sample flow channel 141, and the pump 6 pushes the dilution washing liquid in the transfer flow channel 41 into the sample flow channel 141 and the sample collection chamber; S005: repeating steps S001 to S003, the pump 6 pushes the diluted washing liquid in the detection channel 131 into the detection chamber 32; S006: After waiting for a preset time, the rotary cutting valve switches to the sample flow channel 141, the first valve 108 is closed, the second valve 109 is opened, and the pump 6 pumps clean water into the second section 107, then the first valve 108 is opened, the second valve 109 is closed, and the pump 6 pumps the clean water in the second section 107 into the common flow channel 111, the transfer flow channel 41 and the sample flow channel 141, and then flows into the sample collection chamber, and discharges the diluted washing liquid in the sample collection chamber together; S007: The rotary cutting valve is switched to the detection flow channel 131, the first valve 108 is closed, the second valve 109 is opened, and the pump 6 pumps clean water into the second section 107.

[0158] The public flow channel is directly connected to the clean water collection chamber. After the test is completed, the water in the public flow channel can be directly pushed into the test chamber or sample collection chamber for cleaning to improve the operating efficiency of the urine tester. Moreover, the public flow channel and the clean water collection chamber are directly connected. When samples and reagents need to be extracted, the public flow channel and the drive pipeline are first filled with clean water, and then the transfer channel is filled with air to isolate the water and samples or reagents in the public flow channel. After the pump is started, the clean water and a small part of the air in the transfer channel are used to drive the reagents and samples to move. Clean water is not easily compressed, so samples or reagents can be extracted more accurately into the microfluidic chip, and the accuracy of the test is improved.

[0159] In addition, the urine tester 100 of the present invention can be applied to routine urine tests, such as 14 ascorbic acid tests, including vitamins (C, VC), white blood cells (WBC), urobilinogen (URO), bilirubin (BIL), occult blood (BLD), nitrite (NIT), pH, protein (PRO), urine specific gravity (SG), urine ketone bodies (KET), urine glucose (GLU), urine creatinine (CR), urine calcium (CA) and microalbumin (MA) + urine uric acid + UACR (urine microalbumin / creatinine ratio) + UPCR (urine protein / creatinine ratio) + urine uric acid comprehensive value (based on CKD-EPI algorithm). In order to be able to use more items for testing, a multi-ring reagent well group can also be set on the flow channel plate.

The first reagent flow channel 124 and the second reagent flow channel 125 both extend radially, and the plurality of first reagent flow channels 124 and the plurality of second reagent flow channels 125 are at different diameters, so that the outer ends of the plurality of first reagent flow channels 124 and the outer ends of the plurality of second reagent flow channels 125 will not flow into the transfer flow channel 41 at the same time.

[0162] The outer ends of the plurality of first reagent flow channels 124 diverge radially toward the edge of the flow channel plate 1, and the outer ends of the plurality of second reagent flow channels 125 also diverge radially toward the outside.

Of course, in some implementations, the spacing between the plurality of first reagent holes 122 and the plurality of second reagent holes 123 can also be randomly set.
