Description

[0003] Currently, traditional reagent dispensing devices usually adopt a single-axis or double-axis motion structure to achieve the positioning of the sample dropping component and reagent dispensing. However, such devices have certain limitations during operation. For example, the movement path of the sample dropping component is relatively fixed, unable to flexibly adapt to different specifications of sample containers, and limited by the transmission structure, the overall operation efficiency is relatively low.

[0018] Combined with the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] At the same time, in order to clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application, the upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side and rear side as shown in Figure 1 are also defined.

[0020] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 the present application provides a high-speed reagent dispensing device, which includes: a base 1, a housing 2, a sampling assembly 3, a sample dropping assembly 4 and a sample loading assembly 5.

[0021] Specifically, the housing 2 is installed at the rear end of the top surface of the base 1. At least part of the sampling assembly 3 is installed on the front end surface of the housing 2 and is connected to an external liquid storage tank through an infusion tube for extracting reagents from the liquid storage tank.

[0022] The sample dropping assembly 4 includes a first transmission member 41, a second transmission member 42 and a sample dropping member 43. Among them, at least part of the first transmission member 41 is arranged inside the housing 2 and extends in the up and down direction. At least part of the second transmission member 42 is arranged on the first transmission member 41 and extends in the front and rear direction. The sample dropping member 43 is movably arranged on the second transmission member 42. The first transmission member 41 can drive the second transmission member 42 to move in the up and down direction, and the second transmission member 42 can drive the sample dropping member 43 to move in the front and rear direction. The sample dropping member 43 is connected to the sampling assembly 3 through an infusion tube.

[0023] The sample loading assembly 5 includes a support platform 51 and a sample loading tray. At least part of the sample loading tray 52 is arranged on the support platform 51. The support platform 51 is movably arranged at the bottom of the housing 2 in the left and right direction; at least part of the sample loading tray 52 is arranged on the support platform 51. A dispensing member is provided on the sample loading tray 52. Among them, the dispensing member can be a reagent dispensing dish, a reagent cup or other containers.

[0024] When the reagent dispensing device is working, the sampling assembly 3 extracts reagents from the liquid storage tank and transmits them to the sample dropping member 43; the first transmission member 41 and the second transmission member 42 cooperate to align the sample dropping member 43 with the sample loading assembly 5; the sample loading assembly 5 moves in the left and right direction, and the dispensing member collects the reagents.

[0025] With the above settings, the device can achieve automated and high-speed reagent dispensing. Compared with traditional manual operations, it improves work efficiency and dispensing accuracy, and reduces human errors. In addition, through precise transmission mechanisms and multi-axis motion control, the stability and uniformity of reagent dispensing are ensured, while reducing reagent waste. The automatic movement function of the sample loading assembly 5 enhances the overall processing capacity of the equipment and meets the preparation requirements for a large number of samples.

[0026] As Figure 1 shown, a third transmission member 21 extending in the left-right direction is provided inside the housing 2. The rear end of the support table 51 is movably arranged on the third transmission member 21, and the third transmission member 21 can drive the support table 51 to move in the left-right direction. Among them, the third transmission member 21 can be a combination of a servo motor and a lead screw. With the above settings, the dispensing device improves the batch processing capacity of reagents and is suitable for large-scale reagent dispensing.

[0027] Furthermore, a collection part 11 for collecting leaked liquid is provided at the position corresponding to the lower part of the first transmission member 41 on the base 1, avoiding reagent dripping and contaminating the workbench, and keeping the experimental environment clean. A liquid discharge port 12 is provided at the front end of the collection part 11 to discharge excess reagent, reduce liquid accumulation, and improve the convenience of equipment maintenance.

[0028] Support parts 13 for supporting the support table 51 are respectively provided on the left and right sides at the front end of the collection part 11, improving the stability of the support table 51 and reducing shaking. Rollers 14 are provided at the top of the support parts 13 to reduce friction, make the movement of the sample loading assembly 5 smoother, and improve the service life of the equipment.

[0029] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a support plate 22 is provided inside the housing 2. The first transmission member 41 includes a first lead screw 411, a first driving member 412, and a first guide rail 413. The first driving member 412 is arranged on the support plate 22, and the first driving member 412 is in transmission connection with the first lead screw 411. The second transmission member 42 is movably arranged on the first guide rail 413 and at least partially sleeved on the first lead screw 411. The first driving member 412 can drive the second transmission member 42 to move in the up-down direction through the first lead screw 411. With the above settings, the up-down movement of the sample dropping assembly 4 is more accurate; at the same time, the overall transmission stability is improved through the first guide rail 413, ensuring the reliability of the device during long-term use.

[0030] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, the second transmission member 42 includes a second lead screw 421, a second drive member 422, and a second guide rail 423. The second guide rail 423 extends in the front-rear direction, and its rear end is movably arranged on the first guide rail 413 and at least partially sleeved on the first lead screw 411. The second drive member 422 is at least partially arranged on the second guide rail 423. The second lead screw 421 is arranged above the second guide rail 423 and is connected to the second drive member 422. Through the above arrangement, the front-rear movement of the sample dropping assembly 4 is more precise; at the same time, the movement of the sample dropping assembly 4 is made more stable, improving the stability of reagent dispensing.

[0031] Furthermore, the sample dropping member 43 includes a transmission portion 431 and a clamping portion 432. The transmission portion 431 and the clamping portion 432 are fixedly connected or integrally formed. The transmission portion 431 is movably arranged on the second guide rail 423 and sleeved on the second lead screw 421 to improve mechanical strength and reduce the risk of component loosening; at the same time, the accuracy of the front-rear direction positioning of the sample dropping member 43 can be improved. The clamping portion 432 is used for clamping the infusion tube led out from the sampling assembly 3.

[0032] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, the sampling assembly 3 includes a housing 31, a cover 32, a third drive member 33, and a pump body 34. The rear end of the housing 31 is at least partially arranged on the support plate 22. The third drive member 33 is at least partially arranged at the rear end of the inner cavity of the housing 31. The pump body 34 is at least partially arranged in the housing 31 and extends basically in the front-rear direction and is connected to the third drive member 33. The cover 32 is arranged on the top of the housing 31 and is basically in an "I" shape, thereby forming an inlet pipe orifice and an outlet pipe orifice on the top of the housing 31. The infusion tube enters the housing 31 from the inlet pipe orifice, winds around the bottom of the pump body 34 to the outlet pipe orifice, and the infusion tube is in close fit with the pump body 34. Specifically, the pump body 34 is a four-axis pump. By means of squeezing the infusion by the shaft body, the liquid flow is more stable, the pulsation effect is reduced, and the uniformity of reagent dispensing is improved. At the same time, precise flow regulation can be achieved to ensure that the volume of each dispensing is the same, improving the accuracy of reagent dispensing. In addition, since the four-axis pump adopts a continuous extrusion method, the wear of mechanical friction components is reduced, and it is more durable than traditional pumps, reducing the maintenance cost.

[0033] As Figures 3 to 5As shown, the sampling assembly 3 further includes a first liquid separation quick connector 35 and a second liquid separation quick connector 36 for separating the infusion tube; the first liquid separation quick connector 35 is detachably arranged at the inlet pipe; the second liquid separation quick connector 36 is detachably arranged at the outlet pipe. The sample dropping part 43 includes a third liquid separation quick connector 433 corresponding to the second liquid separation quick connector 36, and the third liquid separation quick connector 433 is detachably arranged on the clamping part 432. Specifically, the first liquid separation quick connector 35 is inserted into the inlet pipe, the second liquid separation quick connector 36 is inserted into the outlet pipe, and the third liquid separation quick connector 433 is inserted into the clamping part 432 to improve the flexibility of disassembly, assembly and replacement of the liquid separation quick connector. Through the above settings, the sampling assembly 3 and the sample dropping assembly 4 can flexibly adjust the model of the liquid separation quick connector according to the reagent dispensing requirements, improving the applicability of the reagent dispensing device.

[0034] More specifically, the sample dropping assembly 4 further includes a fourth liquid separation quick connector 434, and the fourth liquid separation quick connector 434 is clamped on the left side wall of the clamping part 432 for adding small-volume liquid, avoiding frequent replacement of the pipeline and improving the applicability of the reagent dispensing device. Among them, the fourth liquid separation quick connector 434 can be set to 3 channels, and other liquid separation quick connectors can be set to 8 channels to improve the liquid separation efficiency. It should be understood that since the liquid separation quick connector is detachable and replaceable, the number of channels can be configured according to actual needs.

[0035] The reagent dispensing device further includes a control module, and the control module is electrically connected or communicatively connected to the sampling assembly 3, the sample dropping assembly 4 and the sample loading assembly 5 respectively to achieve automated operation, improving the accuracy and repeatability of reagent dispensing. At the same time, the control module is linked with other components, which can improve the intelligence level of the device and minimize manual intervention as much as possible.

[0036] As Figure 1 shown, the reagent dispensing device further includes a display module 6, and at least part of the display module 6 is arranged on the front end face of the housing 2 and is connected to the control module. By using the display module 6 to provide real-time status feedback, it is convenient for users to monitor the operation of the device. At the same time, the displayed parameters can be adjusted, which can improve the convenience of device operation and the ability of personalized settings.
