For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0042] The present invention provides a medical device, which is used in the field of in vitro diagnosis and can realize constant temperature incubation and oscillation of reaction reagents, as well as purification and demagnetization of magnetic beads. Figures 1 - 14 The specific structure of the medical device according to the embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0043] As shown Figures 1 to 14 in the figure, the medical device includes an electric control box 100, a plate washer 200, a liquid path system 300, an oscillation incubator 400, and a demagnetizer 500. A power supply component and a communication component are provided in the electric control box 100.

The electric control box 100 includes a box body, and the box body forms a receiving cavity. The power supply component and the communication component are both arranged in the receiving cavity.
[0044] The plate washer 200 is used to purify magnetic beads. The plate washer 200 includes a magnetic plate seat 210, an oscillation component 220, and a liquid injection component. The magnetic plate seat 210 is used to install a liquid injection plate. In some embodiments, the liquid injection plate is a microplate, such as a 96-well microplate. The oscillation component 220 is used to drive the magnetic plate seat 210 to oscillate in the horizontal direction to achieve sufficient mixing of the liquid and magnetic beads in the microplate. Here, the horizontal direction can be the front-back direction, left-right direction of the medical device, or any horizontal direction. The liquid injection component is used to inject liquid into the liquid injection plate or suck liquid from the liquid injection plate. Optionally, the liquid injection component includes a liquid injection mechanism 230 and a liquid injection driving mechanism 240. The liquid injection mechanism 230 is movably arranged above the magnetic plate seat 210. The liquid injection driving mechanism 240 is in transmission connection with the liquid injection mechanism 230 and is used to drive the liquid injection mechanism 230 to approach or move away from the liquid injection plate. The liquid path system 300 is communicated with the liquid injection component, specifically with the liquid injection mechanism 230. The liquid path system 300 and the liquid injection component cooperate to be able to inject liquid into the liquid injection plate and suck liquid from the liquid injection plate.
[0045] The oscillation incubator 400 can realize the constant-temperature incubation and oscillation of reaction reagents. The oscillation incubator 400 includes a reagent plate 410, an oscillation driving component 420, and a heating component 430. The oscillation driving component 420 is in transmission connection with the reagent plate 410 and is used to drive the reagent plate 410 to oscillate in the horizontal plane. The heating component 430 is used to heat the reagent plate 410 so that the reaction reagents in the reagent plate 410 are in a constant-temperature incubation environment.
[0046] The demagnetizer 500 is used to demagnetize the magnetic beads in the liquid injection plate placed thereon, so that the magnetic beads are separated from the samples adsorbed on the magnetic beads. Moreover, the plate washer 200, the oscillation incubator 400, and the demagnetizer 500 are at least partially integrated on the electric control box 100, and the plate washer 200, the oscillation incubator 400, and the demagnetizer 500 share a set of power supply components and a set of communication components.

Thereby, not only the integration degree of the medical device is improved, the volume is reduced, and the cost is lowered, but also the operation of the medical device can be simplified, and the user can easily grasp the operations and data of each process of the experiment, thus greatly reducing the workload of the user.
[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the plate washer 200, the oscillating incubator 400, and the demagnetizer 500 are all arranged on the electronic control box 100, and the oscillating incubator 400 and the demagnetizer 500 are spaced apart in the first direction, and the plate washer 200 is arranged side by side with the oscillating incubator 400 and the demagnetizer 500 in the second direction.

The first connection block 224 connected to the first nut block 223 moves synchronously, thereby driving the magnetic plate base 210 to move. As the first oscillation motor 221 switches the rotation direction of the motor shaft, the magnetic plate base 210 can oscillate repeatedly in the oscillation direction, so as to realize sufficient oscillating cleaning of the reaction solution in the microplate.
[0053] Optionally, the oscillation assembly 220 further includes a first guide rail 225. The first guide rail 225 extends along the oscillation direction.

In some parallel embodiments, the liquid path system 300 further includes a diaphragm pump 312 and a waste liquid collection bottle 313. The waste liquid collection bottle 313 has two openings, a third opening and a fourth opening. The second opening of the waste liquid bottle 303 is communicated with the inlet of the diaphragm pump 312, the outlet of the diaphragm pump 312 is communicated with the third opening of the waste liquid collection bottle 313, and the fourth opening of the waste liquid collection bottle 313 is communicated with the waste liquid tank 260 through a pipeline, so as to realize the sharing of the waste liquid tank 260 and the waste liquid bottle 303 for the waste liquid collection bottle 313.
[0066] The plunger pump 304 is used to provide power for liquid injection and liquid suction. The plunger pump 304 performs the functions of liquid suction and liquid discharge through the up and down movement of the piston. The two-way three-way solenoid valve 305 controls the plunger pump 304 to suck the cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid bottle 301 or suck the distilled water from the distilled water bottle 302. In one embodiment, when the two-way three-way solenoid valve 305 is opened, distilled water is sucked, and when the two-way three-way solenoid valve 305 is closed, the cleaning liquid is sucked. The first one-way valve 309 is connected to the two-way three-way solenoid valve 305, which can not only ensure that the liquid discharged by the plunger pump 304 will not flow back to the cleaning liquid bottle 301 or the distilled water bottle 302, but also the second one-way valve 310 ensures that the liquid in the pipeline connected to the two-way two-way solenoid valve 306 will not be sucked during liquid suction. When the plunger pump 304 discharges liquid, the liquid passes through the main pipe of the three-way pipeline and the second branch pipe 308, and enters the liquid injection groove 2313 of the liquid injection block 231 through the two-way two-way solenoid valve 306, and is injected into the 96-well microplate through the liquid injection needle 232. The microplate is arranged in an 8×12 arrangement, and 8 holes can be injected at a time. The third branch pipe and the fourth branch pipe of the other three-way pipeline are respectively communicated with the two liquid outlets of the liquid injection block 231, which can evenly discharge the pressure values of each needle hole in the liquid discharge groove 2314. The main pipe of this three-way pipeline is connected to the first opening of the waste liquid bottle 303, the second opening of the waste liquid bottle 303 is connected to the suction port of the vacuum pump, and the air outlet of the vacuum pump is connected to the atmosphere. When the vacuum pump works, the air in the waste liquid bottle 303 is pumped out to form a negative pressure environment, so that a suction force is generated at the needle tip of the liquid discharge needle 233, and then the reaction liquid in the microplate is sucked away to complete the liquid discharge action.
[0067] The working process of the plate washer 200 and the liquid path system 300 to realize magnetic bead purification is as follows:
[0068] Place the 96-well microplate on the magnetic plate 212. The elastic clamping member 213 clamps the microplate tightly. The first oscillating motor 221 drives the microplate to oscillate back and forth through the screw-nut mechanism. After the oscillation action is completed, all the magnetic beads in the reaction solution in the microplate are adsorbed on the bottom of the microplate. Then, the first liquid injection motor 241 drives the liquid injection block 231 to move in the X direction. The microplate is arranged in a 12×8 pattern, with 8 micro-wells in a column. First, align the liquid injection needle 232 and the liquid discharge needle 233 with the holes in the first column in the X direction. Then, the second liquid injection motor 245 drives the liquid injection block 231 to move downward. At this time, the vacuum pump is turned on. During the downward movement of the liquid injection needle 232, it sucks liquid while descending. The reaction solution is discharged through the liquid discharge needle 233 by the suction force generated by the vacuum pump, and all the upper-layer reaction solution in the microplate is sucked away. Then, the second liquid injection motor 245 rises to the height before the descent, and the two-position three-way solenoid valve 305 switches to the closed state. The plunger pump 304 starts to suck liquid, sucking the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid bottle 301 into the plunger pump 304. After completion, start the liquid injection action of the plunger pump 304, and inject the cleaning liquid in the plunger pump 304 into the microplate through the pipeline, the liquid injection tank 2313, and the liquid injection needle 232, completing the liquid injection action for one column. Repeat the above operations for the subsequent 11 columns of the microplate to complete the liquid injection action of the cleaning liquid. Then, perform the oscillation action again, and then perform the liquid suction and discharge. Repeat several times to complete the purification of the magnetic beads. During the liquid discharge process of the liquid injection block 231, the two-position two-way solenoid valve 306 (normally open) is in the closed state. Each time the liquid injection is completed, the two-position two-way solenoid valve 306 is opened to close the passage to prevent liquid dripping and contaminating the sample.

In some embodiments, the oscillation driving assembly 420 includes a second oscillation motor 421, an eccentric structure 422, and an oscillation bottom plate 423. The second oscillation motor 421 is installed in the mounting table 440. The eccentric structure 422 includes an eccentric bottom plate 4221 and an eccentric shaft 4222.

The radial dimension of the elastic ring 452 is larger than the radial dimension of the roller 453, and the elastic ring 452 and the roller 453 are movably arranged in the guide limit hole 4232. The cooperation between the guide mechanism 450 and the guide limit hole 4232 can ensure the uniqueness of the direction of the oscillation bottom plate 423 during the oscillation process.
[0071] In some embodiments, a plurality of support rods 460 are provided on the mounting platform 440, and a support hole 4233 is provided on the bottom surface of the oscillating bottom plate 423. The top of the support rod 460 is inserted into the support hole 4233 without affecting the oscillation of the oscillating bottom plate 423 in the horizontal plane, and only supports the oscillating bottom plate 423 in the vertical direction, and ensures that the height difference between the oscillating bottom plate 423 and the mounting platform 440 surface in the vertical direction meets the requirements. In a specific embodiment, four support rods 460 are provided, and the four support rods 460 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the eccentric structure 422, and the four support rods 460 are inserted into the four support holes 4233 one by one.
[0072] In some embodiments, a plurality of positioning blocks 411 are provided on the top surface of the oscillating bottom plate 423 along the circumferential direction, and the plurality of positioning blocks 411 are used to limit the position of the reagent plate 410.

[0073] In some embodiments, the heating assembly 430 includes a heating base plate 431, a heating film 432, a temperature sensor 433 and a temperature control protection switch 434. The heating base plate 431 is stacked below the reagent plate 410, and a heating film 432 is provided on the heating base plate 431, and the heating film 432 is used to realize the heating of the heating base plate 431, and the heating base plate 431 is used to transfer heat to the reagent plate 410. The temperature sensor 433 is used to detect the heating temperature of the heating film 432, and the heating film 432 and the temperature sensor 433 constitute a temperature control closed loop control, and the constant temperature incubation of the reaction reagent in the reagent plate 410 can be realized by board control. The temperature control protection switch 434 can be powered off to protect the heating film 432 when the heating film 432 is out of control, thereby improving the safety of the entire oscillation incubator 400. It should be noted that the oscillation incubator 400 can be provided with multiple and integrated together.
[0074] In some embodiments, a transfer circuit board 470 and a motor control board 480 are also connected to the side panels of the mounting platform 440 .
[0075] In some embodiments, an optocoupler 491 is further provided on the tabletop of the mounting table 440, and an optocoupler baffle 492 is provided on the eccentric base plate 4221. The cooperation of the optocoupler 491 and the optocoupler baffle 492 can achieve the control of the oscillation times.
[0076] The working principle of the oscillating incubator 400 is as follows: The second oscillating motor 421 drives the eccentric structure 422 to rotate around the central axis of the eccentric base plate 4221. The central axis of the eccentric shaft 4222 is parallel and spaced from the central axis of the eccentric base plate 4221. The eccentric shaft 4222 extends into the bearing 4231 of the oscillating bottom plate 423, and the eccentric base plate 4221 is supported on the mounting table 440 by a plurality of support rods 460 to achieve vertical support and limit. The oscillating bottom plate 423 and the mounting table 440 are limited in the horizontal plane through the guiding mechanism 450 and the guiding and limiting holes 4232. Thus, under the drive of the second oscillating motor 421, the oscillating bottom plate 423 performs an oscillating motion in the specified XY plane direction. The amplitude of the oscillation of the oscillating bottom plate 423 can be 3 mm, and the motor shaft of the second oscillating motor 421 can rotate at a high speed of up to 2000 r / min. Moreover, by controlling the heating film 432, the heating of the heating bottom plate 431 can be achieved. The heating bottom plate 431 transfers heat to the reagent plate 410 on the oscillating bottom plate 423. The heating film 432 and the temperature sensor 433 form a temperature control closed-loop system, and the reagent can be incubated at a constant temperature through board card control. Based on the above, the oscillating incubator 400 can complete the stable oscillation and constant temperature incubation actions of the reagent plate 410.
[0077] The demagnetizer 500 is used to demagnetize the magnetic beads. The specific structure of the demagnetizer 500 is prior art and will not be described in detail here. The demagnetizer 500 is controlled by the I0 board of the software to open and close the demagnetizer 500. After opening, the sample with magnetic beads can be manually placed 5 mm - 20 mm above the demagnetizer 500. The demagnetization operation of the magnetic beads can be completed by quickly moving the sample about 25 times in the length direction. After the demagnetization operation is completed, the demagnetizer 500 is closed through the I0 of the software to complete the operation.
[0078] It should be noted that after passing through the "oscillating incubator 400", the "plate washer 200", and the "demagnetizer 500", the sample preparation is completed by adding liquid through a pipette or a liquid transfer workstation. The sample can be directly loaded onto the optical machine for detection to obtain the experimental results.

Among them, the socket is used to externally connect a 220V power supply. After passing through the switch and the filter, the socket is branched at the 220V terminal block to connect a degausser 500 and a 24V switching power supply. The 24V switching power supply is then branched at the 24V terminal block to connect a CAN server, a serial server, a switch, a temperature control board, an oscillation controller, and a circuit board washer 200, thus completing the power supply to the entire medical device.
[0080] As Figure 14 shown in the figure, the communication component includes a PC, a switch, a CAN server, and a serial server. Among them, after the PC is connected to the switch, the switch is branched into two paths to connect the CAN server and the serial server respectively. The CAN server is further branched into two paths to connect the temperature control board control and the IO board control, while the serial server is branched into two paths to connect the circuit board washer 200 control and the oscillation motor control.
[0081] In this embodiment, the control mechanism for implementing control can be a centralized or distributed controller. For example, the controller can be a single separate microcontroller or composed of multiple distributed microcontrollers. A control program can run in the microcontroller to control each component to implement its functions.

It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here.
