Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of in vitro diagnostic technology, and in particular to a nucleic acid amplification detection module and device. Background Technology

[0002] PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a molecular biology experimental method for the in vitro enzymatic synthesis of specific DNA fragments. It mainly consists of repeated thermal cycles of three steps: high-temperature denaturation, low-temperature annealing, and optimal extension. Before PCR amplification, the reaction sample needs to be placed in a vector. This sample comprises collected samples such as nasopharyngeal swabs, sputum, urine, feces, cervical / vaginal swabs, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, skin, and wound swabs, as well as reagents used for PCR amplification. During PCR amplification, the reaction sample is heated by a heater and cooled by a cooling mechanism, thus cycling the reaction sample through the high-temperature denaturation, low-temperature annealing, and optimal extension stages. Related nucleic acid amplification detection devices include a nucleic acid amplification detection module and a controller. The nucleic acid amplification detection module is electrically connected to the controller, and under the control of the controller, the nucleic acid amplification detection module completes amplification and optical detection.

[0003] However, in related nucleic acid amplification detection devices, miniaturized nucleic acid amplification modules have long amplification times, while those with slightly shorter amplification times are too bulky for large-scale deployment and use. Furthermore, the complex structure of nucleic acid amplification detection modules requires assembly by professionals, resulting in low assembly efficiency and high labor costs. Additionally, the need for specialized testing personnel to prepare reaction samples is inconvenient. Moreover, in rapid PCR, the accuracy and uniformity of temperature significantly impact amplification results. Rapid temperature control requires avoiding temperature overshoot that could affect reagent melting and extension, while temperature uniformity affects the consistency of amplification between wells or channels. However, existing PCR instruments cannot meet the temperature detection requirements for rapid PCR amplification, leading to inaccurate and biased fluorescence detection results.

[0004] Therefore, there is currently a lack of rapid PCR instruments and equipment that are easy to produce, easy to use, small in size, flexible in layout, and provide accurate fluorescence detection results. Summary of the Invention

[0077] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0078] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the nucleic acid amplification and detection device according to one embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 It shows Figure 1The diagram shows an exploded view of the nucleic acid amplification detection device. One embodiment of this application provides a nucleic acid amplification detection device including a housing 10 and a nucleic acid amplification detection module 20. The housing 10 has a mounting portion 11, which includes, but is not limited to, a mounting slot. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 11 is specifically described as a mounting slot, but this is not a limitation. The nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 is correspondingly and detachably mounted in the mounting slot.

[0079] The number of nucleic acid amplification detection modules 20 is not limited to one; for example, there may be two, three, four, or more. The number of mounting slots is the same as the number of nucleic acid amplification detection modules 20. Each nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 is correspondingly inserted into its respective mounting slot.

[0080] Optionally, each nucleic acid amplification and detection module 20 can operate independently or in coordination. The individual nucleic acid amplification and detection modules 20 are equivalent, allowing for flexible replacement, maintenance, and adjustments to the deployment quantity based on actual needs.

[0081] For example, the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 includes a first controller 21. The nucleic acid amplification detection device also includes a second controller, which is mounted in the housing 10 and electrically connected to the first controller 21. The second controller is used to control the operation of each first controller 21 and to supply power to each nucleic acid amplification detection module 20. It can also be used for user interaction and data storage, etc.

[0082] The nucleic acid amplification and detection module 20, as the core functional structure of the nucleic acid amplification and detection device, can be assembled from multiple functional components. Specifically, the first controller 21 receives control commands from the second controller, processes them, distributes them to each functional component of the nucleic acid amplification and detection module 20, and controls each functional component to perform its respective function.

[0083] For example, each nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 possesses complete functions such as temperature control and fluorescence detection. The second controller is only used to power each nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 and to enable interaction between the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 and the user. That is, when the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 receives, for example, an amplification command and / or a temperature adjustment command, it can adjust and control the temperature of the carrier 40 to complete the nucleic acid amplification operation of the reaction sample within the carrier 40; when the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 receives, for example, a fluorescence detection command, it can perform fluorescence detection of the reaction sample. In this way, the number of nucleic acid amplification detection modules 20 that the in vitro analytical diagnostic device can carry is not limited, resulting in greater flexibility.

[0084] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first controller 21 has the ability to supply and control current, communicate with other functional components (such as temperature control component 22, fluorescence detection component 23 and power component 24), and has high-precision detection capabilities for current, voltage and resistance. It can supply power to each functional component and is used to control the temperature adjustment of the temperature control component 22, control the fluorescence excitation and reception of the fluorescence detection component 23, and control the operation of the first power mechanism 241 and the second power mechanism 243 of the power component 24.

[0085] Optionally, the mounting slot is adapted to the shape of the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20. When the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 is inserted into the mounting slot, the mounting slot guides the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20, ensuring that the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 is stably aligned and installed in the mounting slot. Please also refer to... Figures 2 to 4 The first controller 21 is provided with a first electrical connector 211, which is located, for example, at the bottom of the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20. The second controller is provided with a second electrical connector (not shown in the figure), which is located, for example, at the bottom of the mounting slot. When the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 is inserted into the mounting slot, the first electrical connector 211 and the second electrical connector are connected to each other to realize the electrical connection between the first controller 21 and the second controller.

[0086] In order to ensure that the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 is securely installed in the housing 10, optionally, after the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 is installed in the mounting slot, the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 and the housing 10 are also fixedly connected by screws, pins, rivets or snap-fit ​​components.

[0087] Optionally, the nucleic acid amplification detection device also includes a touch screen 30. The touch screen 30 is mounted on the housing 10. The touch screen 30 is electrically connected to the second controller. The touch screen 30 can be used to input various information, including but not limited to temperature, time, number of cycles, and sample type.

[0088] Of course, nucleic acid amplification and detection devices may also include various other functional components such as barcode scanners. The specific configuration and adjustment can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and no limitations are imposed here.

[0089] It should be noted that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The purpose of this illustration is solely to depict the connection relationship between the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 and the housing 10, and is not to specifically limit the connection positions, specific structures, or quantities of each device. In other embodiments of this application, the nucleic acid amplification detection device may include more or fewer components than illustrated, or combine some components, or split some components, or have different component arrangements. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0090] The nucleic acid amplification and detection module 20, as the core functional unit of the nucleic acid amplification and detection device, is mainly used to complete various operations such as nucleic acid amplification and fluorescence detection of the reaction sample. Its assembly and disassembly efficiency affects the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the nucleic acid amplification and detection device. When the nucleic acid amplification and detection module 20 is divided into multiple functional components according to function, and each functional component is manufactured separately and assembled together, the convenience and efficiency of the nucleic acid amplification and detection device production can be increased.

[0091] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 Specifically, the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 also includes a temperature control component 22 and a fluorescence detection component 23. The temperature control component 22 is used to raise or lower the temperature of the carrier 40, so that the reaction sample within the carrier 40 undergoes repeated heating and cooling cycles to achieve amplification. The fluorescence detection component 23 is used to detect the carrier 40 and perform fluorescence detection on the nucleic acid amplification products within the carrier 40.

[0092] To facilitate electrical connection between the first controller 21 and the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23, the temperature control component 22 may optionally have a first electrical connection connector 2211. The fluorescence detection component 23 may have a second electrical connection connector 2311. The first controller 21 may have a third electrical connection connector 212 and a fourth electrical connection connector 213. The first electrical connection connector 2211 and the third electrical connection connector 212 are plugged into each other to achieve electrical connection between the temperature control component 22 and the controller. The first controller 21 can supply power to the temperature control component 22 and can also transmit information with the temperature control component 22, acquiring temperature information from the temperature control component 22 and sending various control commands, including heating and / or cooling, to the temperature control component 22, thereby achieving precise adjustment and control of the temperature of the carrier 40. The second electrical connection connector 2311 and the fourth electrical connection connector 213 are plugged into each other to achieve electrical connection between the fluorescence detection component 23 and the controller. The first controller 21 can supply power to the fluorescence detection component 23, and can also transmit information with the fluorescence detection component 23. It can send various instructions such as fluorescence detection to the fluorescence detection component 23, and can acquire the fluorescence detection signal of the fluorescence detection component 23.

[0093] During assembly, the temperature control component 22 and the first controller 21 can be electrically connected by plugging in the first electrical connector 2211 and the third electrical connector 212, and the fluorescence detection component 23 and the first controller 21 can be electrically connected by plugging in the second electrical connector 2311 and the fourth electrical connector 213. The assembly efficiency is high and the labor cost is reduced.

[0094] The electrical connection between the first electrical connector 2211 and the third electrical connector 212 can be achieved by an easy-to-plug electrical connector, making the electrical connection simple and reliable.

[0095] For example, the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23 are both arranged on either side of the first controller 21, specifically on the top side of the first controller 21.

[0096] Of course, the temperature control component 22, the fluorescence detection component 23, and the first controller 21 can also be flexibly arranged and adjusted in various other ways, without limitation, as long as they meet the following requirements: on the one hand, the temperature control component 22 is in contact with one side of the carrier 40 to raise or lower the temperature of the carrier 40 and complete the nucleic acid amplification operation; on the other hand, the fluorescence detection component 23 is set opposite to the other side of the carrier 40 so as to realize the fluorescence detection operation of the reaction sample in the carrier 40.

[0097] Since the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23 are each connected to the electrical connection connector of the first controller 21 via electrical connectors, the temperature control component 22, the fluorescence detection component 23, and the first controller 21 are assembled together. To further improve the stability of the assembly of the temperature control component 22, the fluorescence detection component 23, and the first controller 21, they can be further connected and secured to each other using connectors. For example, the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23 are connected by fasteners such as screws, pins, rivets, or bolts. This strengthens the connection between the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23, making it less prone to loosening.

[0098] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 For example, the temperature control component 22 includes a first circuit board 221, and a first electrical connector 2211 is connected to the first circuit board 221. The fluorescence detection component 23 includes a second circuit board 231, and a second electrical connector 2311 is connected to the second circuit board 231. This simplifies the wiring and reduces the overall structure.

[0099] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 For example, the carrier 40 is disposed between the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23. The side of the temperature control component 22 facing the fluorescence detection component 23 abuts against the carrier 40, enabling it to raise or lower the temperature of the carrier 40, thereby raising or lowering the temperature of the reaction sample within the carrier 40 to complete the nucleic acid amplification of the reaction sample. The other side of the carrier 40 is disposed opposite to the fluorescence detection component 23, which is used to emit excitation light to irradiate the reaction sample and to receive the light signal returned from the reaction sample and convert it into an electrical signal, thereby achieving fluorescence detection.

[0100] For example, a flat-structured carrier 40 is inserted between the fluorescence detection component 23 and the temperature control component 22. It is understood that a flat structure can refer to a carrier 40 whose thickness direction dimension is much smaller than its dimension perpendicular to the thickness direction. For example, the ratio of the dimension perpendicular to the thickness direction to the thickness direction dimension is greater than 5:1, such as a ratio of 50 to 100:1, or, for example, 90:1. For example, the carrier 40 is approximately a cuboid, and the ratio of its length to its thickness can be greater than 5:1, such as 90:1. For example, the thickness direction dimension of the carrier 40 can be 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm, the width of the carrier 40 can be 8 mm to 12 mm, and the length of the carrier 40 can be 18 mm to 22 mm. Of course, the cross-section of the carrier 40 can be cylindrical, polygonal, or elliptical, etc.

[0101] The flat structure of the carrier 40 results in a very thin reaction sample within it, with a small distance between the center of the reaction sample and the liquid surface. When the carrier 40 is heated or cooled by the temperature control component 22, the temperature of the reaction sample can reach uniformity in a very short time, resulting in high heat transfer efficiency and significantly improved heating / cooling rates and detection efficiency. In contrast, the inner diameter of the PCR tube is larger than that of the flat carrier 40, leading to a greater distance between the center of the reaction sample and the liquid surface. This results in a longer time for the temperature of the reaction sample to reach uniformity, slower heating / cooling rates, and lower detection efficiency.

[0102] Furthermore, the carrier 40 is inserted between the fluorescence detection component 23 and the temperature control component 22. Neither the fluorescence detection component 23 nor the temperature control component 22 needs to move to allow the carrier 40 to be placed or removed. This reduces the need for extra space for the fluorescence detection component 23 and the temperature control component 22, improving the compactness of the nucleic acid amplification fluorescence detection component 23. Simultaneously, the wiring connected to the fluorescence detection component 23 and the wiring harnesses and tubing connected to the temperature control component 22 do not require excess length, saving space. Additionally, since neither the fluorescence detection component 23 nor the temperature control component 22 needs to move, the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 does not need to be configured with structures that allow for movement of the fluorescence detection component 23 or the temperature control component 22, simplifying the structure of the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 and facilitating its miniaturization.

[0103] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 12Based on any of the foregoing embodiments, the temperature control component 22 includes a temperature adjustment mechanism 222 and a support base 223. The temperature adjustment mechanism 222 is spaced apart from the fluorescence detection component 23. The support base 223 is located on the side of the temperature adjustment mechanism 222 facing the fluorescence detection component 23, and the support base 223 has a slot 2231 for inserting the carrier 40. The slot 2231 passes through the support base 223 along the arrangement direction X of the fluorescence detection component 23 and the temperature adjustment mechanism 222. Thus, after the carrier 40 is inserted into the slot 2231, one side of the carrier 40 along the arrangement direction can abut against the temperature adjustment mechanism 222, and the fluorescence detection component 23 detects the reaction sample through the other side of the carrier 40 along the arrangement direction.

[0104] Optionally, the temperature control assembly 22 further includes a first mounting component, which includes, but is not limited to, screws. The support base 223 is mounted to the temperature regulating mechanism 222 via the first mounting component to achieve fixation to the temperature regulating mechanism 222. The carrier 40 is inserted between the temperature regulating mechanism 222 and the fluorescence detection assembly 23 by being inserted into the slot 2231. Optionally, the slot 2231 can provide approximate positioning and guidance for the insertion of the carrier 40. The upper end of the slot 2231 has an inlet end, and the carrier 40 is inserted into the slot 2231 vertically from top to bottom from the inlet end.

[0105] Please see Figure 15 and Figure 16 For example, the fluorescence detection component 23 includes a first support member 232, a fluorescence detection mechanism 233, and a pressing mechanism 234. Optionally, the first support member 232 may include, but is not limited to, a support plate, a support block, or a support frame. In this embodiment, a support plate is preferred because it occupies less space.

[0106] The number of fluorescence detection units 233 can be one or more, such as two, three, four, or other numbers. When there are multiple fluorescence detection units 233, each of them includes a light source. The light sources of the multiple fluorescence detection units 233 are light sources of different wavelengths. Thus, the wavelength of fluorescence generated by the fluorescence detection units 233 is determined according to the wavelength of the light source. Multiple light sources of different wavelengths correspond to multiple different wavelengths of fluorescence, that is, different wavelengths of fluorescence can be provided to perform fluorescence detection on the reaction sample of the carrier 40, ensuring fluorescence detection effect and efficiency, while meeting the needs of different detection items. In this embodiment, there are specifically five fluorescence detection units 233, which correspondingly generate five different wavelengths of fluorescence. The specific wavelengths of the five fluorescences are set according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0107] As an alternative, among the multiple fluorescence detection units 233, two, three, or other numbers of fluorescence detection units 233 may provide light sources in the same wavelength band. Of course, the light sources of the multiple fluorescence detection units 233 may also be completely different wavelength bands.

[0108] It is understandable that the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 may also include components such as a fluorescence detector, a filter, a convex lens, and a dichroic mirror, which will not be described in detail here.

[0109] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 For example, the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 is disposed on the first support member 232, which serves to support and bear the fluorescence detection mechanism 233. The fluorescence detection mechanism 233 is used to detect the carrier 40, so as to perform fluorescence detection on the product of nucleic acid amplification of the reaction sample within the carrier 40. The clamping mechanism 234 is disposed on the first support member 232, which also serves to support and bear the clamping mechanism 234. The clamping mechanism 234 is used to press the carrier 40 against the temperature regulating mechanism 222 or to release the carrier 40. Both the clamping mechanism 234 and the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 are installed on the first support member 232, resulting in a compact overall structure and a small footprint. After the carrier 40 is inserted into the slot 2231, the clamping mechanism 234 presses the carrier 40 against the temperature regulating mechanism 222, resulting in good heat transfer. The temperature regulating mechanism 222 can more precisely control and adjust the temperature of the reaction sample inside the carrier 40. Furthermore, by reducing the gap between the carrier 40 and the temperature regulating mechanism 222, the distance between the carrier 40 and the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 remains constant, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the detection results of the fluorescence detection mechanism 233. After the fluorescence detection of the reaction sample inside the carrier 40 is completed, the clamping mechanism 234 releases the carrier 40.

[0110] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 For example, the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 also includes a power assembly 24. The power assembly 24 is primarily responsible for providing power to the various moving parts of the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20, and includes a first power mechanism 241. The first power mechanism 241 is connected to the clamping mechanism 234 and provides power to move the clamping mechanism 234 to clamp or release the carrier 40. The clamping mechanism 234 avoids the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 along its direction of movement. This ensures that the clamping mechanism 234 and the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 do not interfere with each other during movement, allowing the clamping or releasing of the carrier 40 to be carried out smoothly. Furthermore, the fluorescence detection of the amplified products within the carrier 40 by the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 is not interfered with by the clamping mechanism 234.

[0111] Optionally, the power assembly 24 further includes a fifth electrical connector 2421, to which the first power mechanism 241 is electrically connected. The first controller 21 has a sixth electrical connector 214, with the fifth electrical connector 2421 and the sixth electrical connector 214 engaging. Thus, similar to the temperature control assembly 22 and the fluorescence detection assembly 23, the electrical connection between the power assembly 24 and the first controller 21 is achieved through the engagement of the fifth and sixth electrical connection structures, resulting in higher assembly efficiency and reduced labor costs. Furthermore, the first controller 21 can supply power to the power assembly 24 and transmit control commands to it, allowing the power assembly 24 to operate according to the control commands from the first controller 21.

[0112] Optionally, the first power mechanism 241 may include, but is not limited to, a motor, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., as long as it can provide power to the clamping mechanism 234 so that the clamping mechanism 234 can clamp or release the carrier 40. In this embodiment, the first power mechanism 241 is specifically described using a motor as an example, but it is not limited thereto.

[0113] In one specific embodiment, the first power mechanism 241 includes a motor. The motor is, for example, a stepper motor.

[0114] Please see Figure 15 and Figure 16 The clamping mechanism 234 includes a guide member 2341, which is connected to the first support member 232. Optionally, the guide member 2341 may be, but is not limited to, a guide post or a guide rod, as long as it can guide the movement of the movable frame 2342 and facilitate the smooth movement of the movable frame 2342.

[0115] The clamping mechanism 234 also includes a movable frame 2342. The movable frame 2342 is slidably disposed on the guide member 2341.

[0116] The clamping mechanism 234 also includes a clamping member 2343. The clamping member 2343 is connected to the movable frame 2342, which can drive the clamping member 2343 to move, causing the clamping member 2343 to clamp or release the carrier 40. The direction of movement of the clamping member 2343 is as follows: Figure 15 As shown by the double arrow X in the diagram. In this embodiment, the movement direction of the clamping member 2343 is also set along the longitudinal direction of the housing 244, as shown in the diagram. Figure 1 The double arrow X is shown in the diagram.

[0117] The clamping mechanism 234 also includes a nut 2344 and a lead screw 2345. The nut 2344 is connected to the movable frame 2342. The lead screw 2345 passes through the nut 2344 and is connected to the motor shaft.

[0118] When the motor rotates, it drives the lead screw 2345 to rotate, causing the nut 2344 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the lead screw 2345. The nut 2344 synchronously drives the moving frame 2342 to move, and the moving frame 2342 correspondingly drives the clamping member 2343 to clamp the carrier 40 or loosen the carrier 40.

[0119] Please see Figures 15 to 18 For example, the clamping mechanism 234 also includes a coupling 2346. The coupling 2346 is mounted on the first support member 232, and the lead screw 2345 is coaxially connected to the coupling 2346, which is connected to the motor shaft. Thus, the coupling 2346 facilitates the connection between the lead screw 2345 and the motor shaft, improving assembly efficiency. The coupling 2346 receives power from the motor; when it rotates, it drives the lead screw 2345 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the nut 2344 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the lead screw 2345, thus moving the movable frame 2342 and clamping or loosening the carrier 40.

[0120] To facilitate smooth sliding of the movable frame 2342 on the guide member 2341, the clamping mechanism 234 optionally includes a linear bearing 2347 connected to the movable frame 2342. The guide member 2341 passes through the linear bearing 2347. The number of guide members 2341 is not limited to one; for example, there may be multiple guide members 2341, and the number of linear bearings 2347 is the same as the number of guide members 2341. Each guide member 2341 passes through its respective linear bearing 2347.

[0121] Please see Figure 19 and Figure 20 For example, one end of the guide member 2341 is connected to the first support member 232, and the other end of the guide member 2341 is detachably connected to the temperature control component 22. Specifically, the guide member 2341 is connected to the support plate 2221. In this way, the guide member 2341 is detachably connected to the temperature control component 22, so that the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23 are interconnected, which can ensure the stability of the connection between the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23 and prevent displacement due to external environmental vibration.

[0122] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 234 also includes a second mounting component. The second mounting component includes, but is not limited to, screws, pins, or rivets. The other end of the guide member 2341 is connected and fixed to the temperature regulating mechanism 222 and / or the support base 223 via the second mounting component.

[0123] Optionally, please refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20The temperature regulating mechanism 222 is provided with a first mounting hole 22211, and the guide member 2341 is provided with a second mounting hole 23411. The second mounting member passes through the first mounting hole 22211 and the second mounting hole 23411 to connect and fix the guide member 2341 to the temperature regulating mechanism 222.

[0124] Please see Figure 15 For example, the clamping component 2343 includes a support plate 23431 and a pressure head 23432. The support plate 23431 is connected to the movable frame 2342 and reciprocates with the movable frame 2342. The pressure head 23432 is connected to the support plate 23431, and the support plate 23431 is used to support the pressure head 23432, providing structural support. Optionally, the support plate 23431 may be made of a rigid material, which is not easily deformed under stress and has a long service life. Specific examples include, but are not limited to, metal plates and / or rigid non-metallic plates, which can be flexibly selected according to actual needs. Optionally, the pressure head 23432 may be made of a heat-insulating material, specifically, non-metallic materials such as plastic. The pressure head 23432 is used to clamp or loosen the carrier 40. When the pressure head 23432 comes into contact with the carrier 40, it can effectively reduce the heat transfer from the carrier 40 to the pressure head 23432, so that the temperature of the carrier 40 can be precisely controlled and is not affected by external components.

[0125] Optionally, the pressure head 23432 may be annular, among other things, and is pressed against the outer periphery of the carrier 40, thereby avoiding the chamber of the carrier 40 and preventing obstruction of the detection light of the fluorescence detection component 23, ensuring that the fluorescence detection component 23 can normally detect the reaction sample inside the carrier 40. Furthermore, the support plate 23431 has an opening that prevents obstruction of the detection light of the fluorescence detection component 23, and the pressure head 23432 is arranged circumferentially around the opening. Additionally, when the carrier 40 is pressed by the clamping member 2343, the carrier 40 is subjected to uniform force around its periphery, allowing it to be smoothly pressed against the temperature regulating mechanism 222.

[0126] Please see Figure 15 and Figure 16For example, the fluorescence detection assembly 23 further includes a second support member 235. The second support member 235 is connected between the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 and the first support member 232. That is, the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 and the first support member 232 are indirectly connected. The first support member 232 supports the second support member 235, and the second support member 235 is installed and supports the fluorescence detection mechanism 233, so that there is a gap between the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 and the first support member 232. Optionally, the second support member 235 may include, but is not limited to, a support plate, a support block, or a support frame. In this embodiment, the second support member 235 is specifically a support frame, such as a U-shaped frame or a cover, which facilitates the formation of a receiving space between the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 and the first support member 232. This receiving space can accommodate the lead screw 2345 and the coupling 2346, thereby avoiding interference between the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 and the lead screw 2345 and the coupling 2346. Optionally, the movable frame 2342 is provided with a clearance opening 23421 to avoid the second support member 235, and the second support member 235 passes through the clearance opening 23421. In this way, when the movable frame 2342 is moved by the first power mechanism 241, it can avoid the second support member 235 and avoid interference with the second support member 235.

[0127] It should be noted that the number of fluorescence detection mechanisms 233 is not limited, for example, one or more. In this embodiment, in order to improve the fluorescence detection speed of the reaction sample in the carrier 40, multiple fluorescence detection mechanisms 233 are specifically configured. Optionally, the multiple fluorescence detection mechanisms 233 are arranged sequentially. Specifically, the multiple fluorescence detection mechanisms 233 can be stacked together sequentially in the vertical direction, that is, the arrangement direction of the multiple fluorescence detection mechanisms 233 is preferably consistent with the length direction of the carrier 40, so as to realize fluorescence detection of multiple different parts of the carrier 40 from top to bottom. Of course, the multiple fluorescence detection mechanisms 233 can also be arranged sequentially in the horizontal direction or other directions, or can be arranged in various ways such as regularity and irregularity, all of which are within the protection scope of this application. The specific arrangement method is not limited here, as long as the detection end of each fluorescence detection mechanism 233 is arranged opposite to the reaction chamber of the carrier 40, so as to be able to perform fluorescence detection of nucleic acid amplification products in the carrier 40.

[0128] For example, the movable frame 2342 includes a movable plate 23422 and a third support member 23423. A nut 2344 is connected to the movable plate 23422, the movable plate 23422 is slidably disposed on the guide member 2341, the movable plate 23422 and the first support member 232 are disposed at a distance from each other, and the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 is located on the side of the movable plate 23422 opposite to the first support member 232; the third support member 23423 is connected between the clamping member 2343 and the movable plate 23422.

[0129] Optionally, the third support member 23423 may include, but is not limited to, a support column or support rod. The number of third support members 23423 may include, but is not limited to, one or more. To stably support the clamping member 2343, multiple third support members 23423 may be provided. Furthermore, multiple third support members 23423 are arranged at intervals around the outer periphery of the second support member 235 and the fluorescence detection mechanism 233, thereby avoiding interference with the second support member 235 and the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 during movement, while maintaining a compact overall structure and occupying less space.

[0130] Please see Figure 17 and Figure 18 For example, the power assembly 24 also includes a second power mechanism 243. The second power mechanism 243 is electrically connected to the fifth electrical connection connector 2421. The power assembly 24 also includes a housing 244, which has a window 2441 and a cover plate 245 slidably disposed at the window 2441. The window 2441 and the slot 2231 are positioned opposite each other. The second power mechanism 243 is connected to the cover plate 245 and is used to drive the cover plate 245 to slide, thereby opening or closing the window 2441. Thus, when the second power mechanism 243 drives the cover plate 245 to open the window 2441, the carrier 40 can be placed into the slot 2231 of the support 223 through the window 2441, and the carrier 40 in the support 223 can be taken out through the window 2441. Furthermore, the opening and closing of the cover plate 245 and the pressing of the carrier 40 are driven by their respective power mechanisms, rather than sharing a single power mechanism. This allows the opening and closing of the cover plate 245 and the pressing of the carrier 40 to be achieved independently, avoiding mutual interference caused by sharing a single power mechanism and thus providing greater flexibility.

[0131] For example, the power assembly 24 also includes a third circuit board 242. A fifth electrical connector 2421 is connected to the third circuit board 242.

[0132] Optionally, the second power mechanism 243 may include, but is not limited to, a linear mechanism. There are many specific forms of linear mechanisms. For example, it may be similar to the form in which the motor, lead screw 2345 and nut 2344 cooperate with each other in the above embodiment. It may also be a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder, or a cam mechanism, gear mechanism or crank-slider mechanism, etc. There are no limitations here, as long as it can push the cover plate 245 to move.

[0133] In one embodiment, the second power mechanism 243 includes, for example, a push rod motor and a slider that can move linearly between two points, a distal end and a proximal end. The slider is slidably disposed on the top wall of the housing 244. The cover plate 245 is fixedly connected to the slider. The push rod motor is connected to the slider and is used to push the slider to slide, thereby realizing the opening and closing action of the cover plate 245.

[0134] In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the cover plate 245 and the loading and unloading of the carrier 40 are each driven by a power mechanism, which is highly flexible and can be easily automated.

[0135] For example, the power assembly 24 also includes a mounting bracket 246. The mounting bracket 246 is connected to the housing 244, and the first power mechanism 241 and the second power mechanism 243 are mounted on the mounting bracket 246.

[0136] Optionally, the mounting bracket 246 is detachably connected to the first support member 232. In this way, the power assembly 24 and the fluorescence detection assembly 23 are interconnected, which can ensure the stability of the connection between the power assembly 24 and the fluorescence detection assembly 23 and prevent displacement due to vibration of the external environment.

[0137] Specifically, the power assembly 24 also includes a third mounting component. The third mounting component includes, but is not limited to, screws, pins, or rivets. The mounting bracket 246 is connected and secured to the first support member 232 via the third mounting component.

[0138] Optionally, please refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22 The first support member 232 is provided with a third mounting hole 2321, and the mounting bracket 246 is provided with a fourth mounting hole 2461. The third mounting member passes through the third mounting hole 2321 and the fourth mounting hole to connect and fix the first support member 232 and the mounting bracket 246.

[0139] To improve the stability of the connection between the temperature control component 22, the fluorescence detection component 23, the power component 24, and the first controller 21, after the electrical connection connectors between the temperature control component 22 and the first controller 21 are plugged in and assembled, the first controller 21 and the temperature control component 22 can also be connected and fixed using fasteners such as screws, pins, or rivets. Similarly, after the electrical connection connectors between the fluorescence detection component 23 and the first controller 21 are plugged in and assembled, the first controller 21 and the fluorescence detection component 23 can also be connected and fixed using fasteners such as screws, pins, or rivets.

[0140] For example, the housing 244 covers the top of the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23. Thus, when the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 is inserted into the mounting slot and installed in the housing 10, the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23 are protected by the housing 10 within the mounting slot, eliminating the need for the housing 244. Since the housing 244 is located on top of the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23, it seals the opening of the mounting slot, preventing the tops of the temperature control component 22 and the fluorescence detection component 23 from being exposed, thus protecting them.

[0141] When multiple nucleic acid amplification detection modules 20 are installed inside the housing 10, if the side of the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 is not covered by the housing 244, they will interfere with each other and affect the fluorescence detection results during the fluorescence detection process.

[0142] For example, the nucleic acid amplification detection module 20 also includes a light shield 25, which is connected to the housing 244, the first controller 21, or the mounting bracket 246, and is positioned over the fluorescence detection mechanism 233. Thus, the light shield 25 serves to block light, preventing the various nucleic acid amplification detection modules 20 from interfering with each other during fluorescence detection.

[0143] Among them, each nucleic acid amplification and detection module 20 is arranged sequentially along the Y direction inside the casing 10, for example, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown in the figure. Optionally, the light shield 25 includes two light shields 251, which are located on opposite sides of the fluorescence detection mechanism 233 along the Y direction.

[0144] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 For example, the temperature regulating mechanism 222 includes a heater 2222, which is used to contact the carrier 40 to raise the temperature of the carrier 40. The heater 2222 can be of various types, including but not limited to heating methods using resistance wires or using semiconductor coolers.

[0145] Specifically, the heater 2222 includes a support layer 22221, a main heating element 22222, and a heat spreader 22223. The main heating element 22222 includes, but is not limited to, a main heating coil, which is connected to the support layer 22221. The support layer 22221 serves to support and carry the main heating coil. Optionally, the main heating coil may be formed on the support layer 22221 using, but is not limited to, circuit board manufacturing or 3D printing processes.

[0146] For example, the temperature distribution plate 22223 is connected to the support layer 22221. When the main heating element 22222 is energized, it transfers temperature to the temperature distribution plate 22223. The temperature of different parts of the surface of the temperature distribution plate 22223 is relatively uniform, which can improve the temperature uniformity of the reaction sample in different parts of the carrier 40 when it comes into contact with the carrier 40.

[0147] For example, the temperature regulating mechanism 222 also includes a heat sink 2223. The heat sink 2223 is connected to the heater 2222 and is used to reduce the temperature of the heater 2222. Specifically, the heat sink 2223 is connected to the side of the support layer 22221 opposite to the heat spreader 22223. When the heat sink 2223 is working, the heat from the heater 2222 can be transferred to the heat sink 2223 through the support layer 22221, and the heat sink 2223 carries away the heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the heater 2222 and thus controlling the temperature of the carrier 40. In addition, when the operating power of the heater 2222 decreases, its own operating temperature also decreases, thereby reducing the temperature of the carrier 40; conversely, when the operating power of the heater 2222 increases, its temperature increases, thereby increasing the temperature of the carrier 40.

[0148] However, achieving temperature uniformity of 0.2℃ (the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures) over a large area solely through the temperature equalization plate 22223 presents significant challenges, thus affecting the accuracy of fluorescence detection results. Therefore, in this embodiment, the heater 2222 further includes an auxiliary heating element 22224, which includes, but is not limited to, an auxiliary heating coil connected to the temperature equalization plate 22223. Applying different power to the auxiliary heating coil can achieve temperature uniformity over a large area. The number of auxiliary heating coils can be one or more, for example. Multiple coils can be two, three, four, or more, and can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, such as the size of the heating area / temperature uniformity requirements, and are not limited here.

[0149] During the temperature control process, the main heating element 22222 plays the main role in power regulation, realizing a wide range of temperature adjustment. After the auxiliary heating element 22224, which has been calibrated by an external sensor, senses the temperature difference, each auxiliary heating element 22224 applies different power (or the same power) to achieve a small range of temperature compensation, thereby achieving temperature uniformity.

[0150] The heating power of the main heating element 22222 mainly depends on the thermal resistance between the main heating element 22222 and the heat sink 2223. Therefore, the support layer 22221 is preferably made of a material with low thermal conductivity, such as epoxy resin and glass fiber composite board (FR4), ceramic, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and / or glass. The thermal resistance of the support layer 22221 needs to balance the relationship between power and heating / cooling rate; the higher the thermal resistance, the lower the heating power and the slower the heating / cooling rate.

[0151] The shape of the temperature distribution plate 22223 is adapted to the shape of the reaction chamber of the carrier 40, which enables heat to be uniformly transferred to different parts of the reaction chamber, which helps to ensure temperature uniformity and thus improves the accuracy and reliability of fluorescence detection results.

[0152] For example, the outer periphery shape of the heat spreader 22223 may include, but is not limited to, a rectangle, a circle, or other irregular shapes. In this embodiment, a rectangular outer periphery shape of the heat spreader 22223 is used as an example, but it is not limited to this.

[0153] The arrangement of the multiple auxiliary heating elements 22224 on the surface of the heat spreader 22223 is not limited here. It can be adjusted and set according to actual needs, as long as it can heat different parts of the surface of the heat spreader 22223, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of different parts of the surface of the heat spreader 22223. Optionally, the multiple auxiliary heating elements 22224 are respectively arranged in multiple different parts of the heat spreader 22223. In other words, the auxiliary heating elements 22224 are arranged in different positions on the heat spreader 22223, thereby achieving temperature compensation and heating of different parts of the surface of the heat spreader 22223, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the surface of the heat spreader 22223.

[0154] The outer periphery of the heat spreader 22223 is rectangular. For example, the number of auxiliary heating elements 22224 is three, arranged sequentially along the length of the heat spreader 22223. The three auxiliary heating elements 22224 are located in the middle of the heat spreader 22223. The heat spreader 22223 is made of, but is not limited to, ceramic material. Leads are also provided on the surface of the heat spreader 22223. The leads are electrically connected to the auxiliary heating elements 22224. The leads are also electrically connected to the first circuit board 221. The auxiliary heating elements 22224 can be externally connected to the first circuit board 221 via the leads, thereby enabling power supply to the auxiliary heating elements 22224 and control of the current magnitude of the auxiliary heating elements 22224.

[0155] Optionally, each auxiliary heating element 22224 has four leads. Two leads are first leads 2224, which are connected to a voltage testing circuit to measure the operating voltage of the auxiliary heating element 22224. The other two leads are second leads 2225, which are connected to a current supply circuit to supply current to the auxiliary heating element 22224, allowing it to heat up. Furthermore, the resistance value of the auxiliary heating element 22224 can be calculated based on its operating voltage and the current supplied. This resistance value can then be used to determine whether the temperature uniformity of different parts of the surface of the heat spreader 22223 meets the requirements. When the temperature uniformity of different parts of the surface of the heat spreader 22223 is low, the temperature uniformity can be increased by adjusting the current of one or more auxiliary heating elements 22224. For example, if the temperature of a certain part of the surface of the heat spreader 22223 is too high, the auxiliary heating element 22224 corresponding to the high-temperature part of the surface of the heat spreader 22223 will reduce its current value, thereby lowering the temperature of the high-temperature part of the surface of the heat spreader 22223; conversely, if the temperature of a certain part of the surface of the heat spreader 22223 is too low, the auxiliary heating element 22224 corresponding to the low-temperature part of the surface of the heat spreader 22223 will increase its current value, thereby increasing the temperature of the low-temperature part of the surface of the heat spreader 22223. Thus, the heat spreader 22223 can provide a surface with uniform temperature that can be precisely and rapidly controlled.

[0156] For example, the temperature regulating mechanism 222 also includes a heat-conducting element 2226. The heat-conducting element 2226 is made of a metallic material, such as copper, which has good thermal conductivity. The heat-conducting element 2226 connects the heater 2222 and the heat sink 2223. Thus, the heat-conducting element 2226 has good contact performance with the heater 2222 and the heat sink 2223, effectively conducting heat and supporting the heater 2222, improving the installation stability of the heater 2222, and preventing cracking defects caused by insufficient thickness of the heater 2222.

[0157] When cooling is required, the heat from the heater 2222 is quickly directed to the radiator 2223 through the heat conductor 2226 and dissipated by the radiator 2223. At the same time, due to its large heat capacity and the thermal resistance design of the heater 2222, it can be kept at a low temperature.

[0158] It should be noted that the heat sink 2223 in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, various types such as air-cooled or water-cooled finned heat sink 2223, or semiconductor chip heat sink 2223, etc., and is not limited here. It can be selected according to actual needs. In addition, the cold end of the heat sink 2223 can either directly contact the heat conductor 2226 for heat dissipation, or an intermediate heat transfer medium can be provided between the cold end of the heat sink 2223 and the heat conductor 2226 to achieve indirect heat dissipation. The intermediate heat transfer medium is, for example, a heat exchange medium pipe, which can be a water-cooled copper pipe. The heat from the heater 2222 is transferred to the heat conductor 2226, then from the heat conductor 2226 to the intermediate heat transfer medium, and finally from the intermediate heat transfer medium to the heat sink 2223. As long as it has a good heat dissipation effect and can quickly remove the heat from the heater 2222 to adjust the temperature of the carrier 40 in conjunction with the heater 2222, the specific connection method between the heat sink 2223 and the heat conductor 2226 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0159] To reduce space usage while ensuring effective heat dissipation, the heat sink 2223 in this embodiment is specifically, for example, a tower-type heat pipe air-cooled heat sink 2223. Figure 8 or Figure 9 As shown, the cold end of the tower-type heat pipe air-cooled radiator 2223 is directly connected to the heat-conducting component 2226 via thermally conductive silicone grease. This results in a compact overall structure, with a small temperature regulation mechanism 222 occupying minimal space. Furthermore, the heat from the heater 2222 can be quickly transferred to the radiator 2223 via the heat-conducting component 2226 and dissipated by the radiator 2223, achieving good heat dissipation efficiency.

[0160] For example, the temperature regulating mechanism 222 also includes a first circuit board 221. The first circuit board 221 is electrically connected to the heater 2222. A first electrical connection connector 2211 is disposed on the first circuit board 221. Specifically, both the main heating element 22222 and the auxiliary heating element 22224 are electrically connected to the first circuit board 221. The first circuit board 221 is used to supply power to the main heating element 22222 and the auxiliary heating element 22224, and can control the main heating element 22222 and the auxiliary heating element 22224 to adjust their operating power.

[0161] Optionally, the heat sink 2223 includes a cooling fan to provide heat dissipation for cooling the surface of the vapor chamber 22223. The heat sink 2223 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 221. The first circuit board 221 can supply power to the cooling fan and can also control various operations such as starting the cooling fan, adjusting the airflow, and turning it off.

[0162] For example, the temperature regulating mechanism 222 also includes a support plate 2221. The first circuit board 221 is connected to the support plate 2221, which is used to support and carry the first circuit board 221. The support plate 2221 may be, but is not limited to, a metal plate or a rigid non-metallic plate, to ensure structural strength.

[0163] Optionally, the first circuit board 221 has a first clearance portion, and the support plate 2221 has a second clearance portion. The first clearance portion includes, but is not limited to, clearance holes or notches. The first clearance portion and the second clearance portion are aligned and connected along the thickness direction of the support plate 2221. The heat-conducting component 2226 passes through the second clearance portion and the first clearance portion in sequence and is connected to the heat sink 2223. Specifically, the heat-conducting component 2226 includes, but is not limited to, a heat-conducting block. Furthermore, the heat-conducting component 2226 has a protrusion, which passes through the second clearance portion and the first clearance portion in sequence and is connected to the heat sink 2223.

[0164] For example, a heat insulation member 2227 is provided on the support plate 2221, and the heat insulation member 2227 is located on the side of the support plate 2221 facing the heater 2222. The heat insulation member 2227 is arranged circumferentially around the relief portion, for example. The heat insulation member 2227 includes, but is not limited to, a heat insulation ring. The heat insulation member 2227 is disposed between the support plate 2221 and the heat conducting member 2226, which can prevent the heat conducting member 2226 from contacting the support plate 2221 and causing the temperature of the support plate 2221 to rise, and prevent heat from being conducted to the first circuit board 221. As a result, the temperature control of the carrier 40 is less affected by the first circuit board 221, and the temperature of the carrier 40 can be controlled more accurately.

[0165] The heat-conducting component 2226 includes, but is not limited to, a heat-conducting block. The heat-conducting block has a protrusion that passes through a clearance portion and connects to the heat sink 2223, for example, via thermally conductive adhesive. When the heat sink 2223 is operating, it reduces the temperature of the heat-conducting component 2226. Specifically, the periphery of the heat-conducting component 2226 abuts against the support plate 2221 via a heat insulation component 2227. Furthermore, the temperature control assembly 22 also includes a fourth mounting component. The heat-conducting block is connected and fixed to the heat insulation component 2227 via the fourth mounting component. The fourth mounting component includes, but is not limited to, screws, pins, or snap-fit ​​components.

[0166] Optionally, the heater 2222 is bonded and fixed to the heat-conducting element 2226.

[0167] Optionally, the support base 223 is connected to the heat-conducting element 2226, the heat-insulating element 2227, or the support plate 2221, and the support base 223 is used to support the carrier 40. When the carrier 40 is placed on the support base 223, one side of the carrier 40 abuts against the heater 2222, and the other side of the carrier 40 faces the optical detection component.

[0168] For example, the clamping member 2343 has a first position and a second position. When the clamping member 2343 moves to the first position, it clamps the carrier 40, causing the carrier 40 to abut against the temperature regulating mechanism 222, specifically, for example, in close contact with the heater 2222. When the clamping member 2343 moves to the second position, there is a gap between the clamping member 2343 and the carrier 40. Optionally, the gap between the clamping member 2343 and the carrier 40 may include, but is not limited to, 1 mm to 4 mm, specifically, for example, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, or 4 mm.

[0169] The material of the heat spreader 22223 is usually ceramic. During the process of inserting the carrier 40 into the slot 2231, the heat spreader 22223 is easily bumped and cracked, which seriously affects the uniformity of the surface temperature of the heat spreader 22223.

[0170] For example, the top of the slot 2231, near the temperature regulating mechanism 222, has a boss 2232 protruding towards the fluorescence detection assembly 23. The distance between the bottom surface of the boss 2232 and the bottom wall of the slot 2231 is greater than or equal to the length of the carrier 40. When the carrier 40 is inserted into the slot 2231 from top to bottom, the boss 2232 abuts against the carrier 40, creating a gap between the carrier 40 and the temperature regulating mechanism 222. Specifically, for example, a gap is formed with the surface of the heat spreader 22223. (See example for the gap.) Figure 10 As shown in S. Optionally, the spacing S is not limited to 1mm to 5mm, specifically 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm or 5mm, which can prevent the temperature regulating mechanism 222 from contacting the carrier 40, thereby avoiding damage to the temperature regulating mechanism 222 by collision with the carrier 40.

[0171] Furthermore, since the distance between the bottom surface of the boss 2232 and the bottom wall of the slot 2231 is greater than or equal to the length of the carrier 40, that is, when the carrier 40 is inserted into place, the carrier 40 can avoid the boss 2232. Under the clamping force of the clamping mechanism 234, the carrier 40 can abut against and press against the temperature regulating mechanism 222. In other words, the boss 2232 will not affect the heating of the carrier 40 by the temperature regulating mechanism 222, and the distance between the carrier 40 and the fluorescence detection component 23 remains constant.

[0172] It should be noted that the direction in which the carrier 40 is inserted into the slot 2231 and the direction in which it is removed from the slot 2231 are set vertically. See the following for details: Figure 9 The double arrow Z is shown in the diagram.

[0173] To facilitate the insertion of the carrier 40 into the slot 2231, for example, the top of the boss 2232 is provided with a first guide surface 22321, and the distance between the first guide surface 22321 and the temperature regulating mechanism 222 increases along the insertion direction of the carrier 40. Optionally, the first guide surface 22321 is, for example, an arc-shaped surface or a slope, etc. The first guide surface 22321 guides the carrier 40, so that the carrier 40 can be smoothly inserted into the slot 2231.

[0174] To facilitate the upward removal of the carrier 40 from the slot 2231, for example, the bottom end of the boss 2232 is provided with a second guide surface 22322. Along the removal direction of the carrier 40, the distance between the second guide surface 22322 and the temperature regulating mechanism 222 tends to increase. Optionally, the second guide surface 22322 may be, for example, an arc-shaped surface or a slope, etc. The second guide surface 22322 guides the carrier 40, allowing the carrier 40 to be smoothly removed from the slot 2231.

[0175] Please see Figure 13 and Figure 23 In one specific embodiment, the support layer 22221 is made of FR4 material, and its thickness is, for example, 0.2 mm. Three auxiliary heating elements 22224 are used, each with a room temperature resistance of 130Ω-160Ω. Figure 23 As shown, when 0 mA and 100 mA currents are applied to the intermediate coil respectively, it can be seen that the temperature adjustment range of the intermediate coil under the action of 100 mA current is about 3.6℃. That is to say, 100 mA current can adjust the temperature unevenness of 3.6℃ to make the temperature tend to be uniform.
