[0015] In an optional embodiment, the centrifuge tube feeding assembly is provided with a storage bin, a rotary switch is provided below the storage bin, and a slide is connected below the rotary switch.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the toxin detection unit is provided with a linear module and a material storage bin. The linear module is connected to a first gripper and a second gripper, and a pipette is provided on the second gripper.

[0056] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features. "Multiple" means two or more, and "several" means any number including one, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0058] Please see the appendix Figure 1-14 The purpose of this embodiment is to provide a fully automatic grain toxin detection device, including: a housing unit 1, in which a pretreatment unit 2 and a toxin detection unit 3 are disposed; the pretreatment unit 2 is provided with a grinding component 21 and a transfer component 24, and the grain powder produced by the grinding component 21 enters the transfer component 24 for temporary storage; the pretreatment unit 2 is also provided with a centrifuge tube feeding component 22, an extract injection component, and a receiving component 26; wherein, the centrifuge tube in the centrifuge tube feeding component 22 enters the receiving component 26, and after the centrifuge tube opens its cover under the action of the receiving component 26, it receives the grain powder transferred by the transfer component 24, and after the centrifuge tube containing the grain powder is injected with extract, the cover is closed and it enters the toxin detection unit 3 for toxin detection.

[0059] In this embodiment, grain enters the open-top mill 211 through the grain inlet 217. The grinding assembly 21 includes the mill 211, which is detachably fixed to an annular gripper 212. The annular gripper 212 is connected to the lifting module 214 via a rotating shaft 213. The rotating shaft 213 is connected to a drive motor 216 located outside the lifting module 214. A cylinder cover is provided on the connecting plate 215 at the telescopic end of the lifting module 214. The cylinder cover is used to close the cylinder opening 2111 of the mill 211. After processing, the grain in the mill 211 can form grain powder. After the mill 211 rotates and opens, the processed grain powder can be poured into the receiving cup 241.

[0060] Furthermore, the pretreatment unit 2 is also equipped with a cleaning component 23, which includes a rotatable nozzle 231 and a scraper 232. At least three nozzles 231 are evenly arranged on a claw disc, which is connected to a swing arm 233. The scraper 232 is located below the cylinder head. After machining, the cylinder mill 211 can use the high-speed rotating scraper 232, driven by a motor, to clean the cylinder opening 2111. The cylinder mill 211 can also rotate to a position opposite to the nozzles 231. The nozzles 231 rotate at high speed under the action of the claw disc and simultaneously spray gas to clean the interior of the cylinder mill 211. The claw disc is connected to a motor below the swing arm 233. When not in use, the nozzles 231 move to a non-working area under the action of the swing arm 233. The grinding component 21, the cleaning component 23, and the cooling component 25 are disposed in the sealed cavity shell 234. The sealed cavity shell 234 is provided with a dust suction port 2341. Impurities generated by the nozzle 231 and scraper 232 during cleaning are discharged through the dust suction port 2341.

[0061] It should be noted that the pretreatment unit 2 is also equipped with a cooling assembly 25. The water-cooled circulation pipeline of the cooling assembly 25 is set in the annular gripper 212. The water inlet and outlet on the annular gripper 212 are connected to the slip ring 251 connected to the rotating shaft 213 through the pipeline. The slip ring 251 can prevent the connecting pipeline of the cooling assembly 25 from getting tangled, and the water-cooled circulation pipeline of the cooling assembly can prevent the grinding powder from caking during the processing.

[0062] Furthermore, the material transfer assembly 24 includes a base, on which a ramp 243 and a first linear drive are provided. The output end of the first linear drive is connected to the fixed end of a second linear drive 247. The output end of the second linear drive 247 is fixedly connected to a cup holder 242. The cup holder 242 is rotatably connected to a receiving cup 241 via a first connecting shaft 244. A second connecting shaft 245 is also provided on the receiving cup 241. The second connecting shaft 245 is located below the first connecting shaft 244 and is parallel to the axis of the first connecting shaft 244. The second connecting shaft 245 moves along the slope of the ramp 243 to flip the receiving cup 241. Specifically, after the receiving cup 241 receives a specified amount of grinding powder, the first linear drive and the second linear drive 247 gradually retract linearly, pulling the second connecting shaft 245 of the receiving cup 241 along the slope 243. As the second connecting shaft 245 rises along the slope 243, it causes the receiving cup 241 to flip, pouring the grinding powder into the opened centrifuge tube. In a preferred embodiment, the first linear drive is a lead screw and nut pair, and the second linear drive 247 is a telescopic rod. The movable nut is fixedly connected to the non-telescopic end of the telescopic rod. This arrangement, while meeting the travel distance of the receiving cup 241, saves space occupied by the transfer assembly 24 compared to using a single linear drive element.

[0063] It is worth mentioning that the receiving assembly 26 is equipped with a rotating plate 261, which is rotatable. A first station 262 and a second station 263 are respectively located at both ends of the rotating plate 261. Limiting housings are respectively provided on the first station 262 and the second station 263. Each limiting housing has an opening on its side wall for the adsorption robot 264 to extend into and adsorb the centrifuge tube. The area below the limiting housings of the first station 262 and the second station 263 is left unoccupied, allowing the centrifuge tube to fall into the guide pipe 266 when not adsorbing. At least one adsorption robot 264 is located between the first station 262 and the second station 263. The adsorption robot 264 is used to adsorb the centrifuge tube and also cooperates with the cap-opening robot 265 in the receiving assembly 26 to open and close the cap of the centrifuge tube. The receiving assembly 26's cap-opening robot 265 includes a lifting module 2651, a rotating module 2652, and a cap-opening module 2653. The cap-opening module 2653 can simultaneously lift, lower, and rotate under the action of the lifting module 2651 and the rotating module 2652. During cap opening, the adsorption robot 264 keeps the centrifuge tube stationary, while the cap-opening module 2653 holds the centrifuge tube cap and rises while rotating. During cap closing, the adsorption robot 264 keeps the centrifuge tube stationary, while the cap-opening module 2653 holds the centrifuge tube cap and descends while rotating.

[0064] Furthermore, the centrifuge tube feeding assembly 22 is equipped with a storage bin 221, and a rotary switch 222 is located below the storage bin 221. A slide rail 223 is connected below the rotary switch 222. Each rotation of the rotary switch 222 at one station conveys a centrifuge tube to the limiting housing of the first station 262 or the second station 263 of the receiving assembly 26, where the centrifuge tube is simultaneously adsorbed and limited by the adsorption robot 264. The first station 262 and the second station 263 of the receiving assembly 26 rotating plate 261 can be rotated to the bottom of the receiving cup 241 for the centrifuge tube with the cap already opened to receive the grinding powder. The first station 262 and the second station 263 of the receiving assembly 26 rotating plate 261 can continue to rotate to the bottom of the extract injection assembly, so that the centrifuge tube with the grinding powder continues to receive the extract. After the extract is injected into the centrifuge tube, the cap is closed and the extract enters the toxin detection unit 3 through the guide tube 266.

[0065] In this embodiment, the toxin detection unit 3 is equipped with a linear module 31 and a material storage chamber 35. The linear module 31 is connected to a first gripper 3101 and a second gripper 3102. A pipette 3103 is mounted on the second gripper 3102. The material storage chamber 35 is used to temporarily hold centrifuge tubes falling through the feed tube 266. It should be noted that the linear module 31 can realize the movement of the first gripper 3101 and the second gripper 3102 in the X, Y, and Z directions. The first gripper 3101 can grip the cap of the centrifuge tube and rotate the cap.

[0066] In addition, the toxin detection unit 3 is also equipped with a dilution platform 32, a filter tip storage platform 33, and a suction tip storage platform 34. The dilution platform 32 is provided with multiple mixing holes, the filter tip storage platform 33 stores multiple filter tips 331, and the suction tip storage platform 34 stores multiple suction tips 341. The toxin detection unit 3 is also equipped with a reagent strip box 36, a toxin detection box 37, a mixing platform 38, a lid-opening clamping platform 39, a diluent storage platform 310, and a centrifugation platform 311. The reagent strip box 36 is provided with a box body 361 and a box cover 362. The box body 361 is provided with multiple slots 364. Each slot 364 stores multiple reagent strips. The multiple reagent strips in each slot 364 can extend out of the slot 364 one by one under the action of a push rod. The opening and closing clamping platform 39 is equipped with an opening and closing gripper 391, which cooperates with the first gripper 3101 to open and close the cap of the centrifuge tube. The centrifuge platform 311 is equipped with a rotating shaft 3111, the top of which is connected to the center of the connecting crossbar 3112. Each end of the crossbar 3112 is rotatably connected to a support ring 3113.

[0067] The specific toxin detection process includes the following steps:

[0068] S1: Transfer the centrifuge tubes in the material storage bin 35 to the mixing platform 38 to complete the mixing and obtain the mixed liquid, and then transfer them to the centrifuge platform 311 to obtain the centrifuged liquid.

[0069] The grinding powder in the centrifuge tube in the material storage chamber 35 of the toxin detection unit 3 has been injected with the extract. The centrifuge tube is transferred to the mixing platform 38 by the first gripper 3101. The grinding powder and extract in the centrifuge tube are mixed under the vibration of the mixing platform 38 to form a mixture in the centrifuge tube.

[0070] Next, the centrifuge tube containing the mixture is transferred to the support ring 3113 of the centrifuge platform 311. The rotating shaft 3111 and the crossbar 3112 rotate at high speed under the action of the drive device. The centrifuge tube in the support ring 3113 also rotates around the rotating shaft 3111. During rotation, the axis of the centrifuge tube forms a certain angle with the axis of the rotating shaft 3111. After rotating for a certain period, the rotating shaft 3111 stops rotating, and the centrifuge tube changes from an inclined state to a vertical state, and is then left to stand for a period of time. As described above, the mixture in the centrifuge tube completes the centrifugation process to form centrifuged liquid.

[0071] S2: Filter the centrifuged liquid through the filter tip 331 and transfer it to a mixing hole on the dilution platform 32;

[0072] The second gripper 3102 moves the pipette 3103 above the pipette tip storage platform 34. The pipette 3103 aligns with a pipette tip 341 on the pipette tip storage platform 34 and moves downwards to insert the pipette tip 341. At this time, the centrifuge tube, having been mixed, has been transported by the first gripper 3101 to the cap-opening clamping platform 39. The first gripper 3101 engages with the opening / closing gripper 391 of the cap-opening clamping platform 39 to open the centrifuge tube. Then, the pipette 3103 uses the inserted pipette tip 341 to aspirate the centrifuged liquid from the centrifuge tube. 03. The pipette tip 341 carrying the aspirated centrifuged liquid moves to above the filter tip storage platform 33. The pipette tip 341 is aligned with one of the filter tips 331 in the filter tip storage platform 33. The pipette 3103 carrying the aspirator tip 341 is inserted into the filter tip 331. Then, the pipette 3103 carrying the inserted aspirator tip 341 and filter tip 331 moves to above the dilution platform 32. It is aligned with a mixing hole on the dilution platform 32. The centrifuged liquid in the aspirator tip 341 is filtered through the filter tip 331 and injected into the mixing hole.

[0073] S3: Transfer the diluent through the suction nozzle 341 to another mixing port on the dilution platform 32;

[0074] The pipette 3103, carrying the inserted pipette tip 341 and filter tip 331, moves to the waste hopper of the toxin detection unit 3 (not shown in the attached diagram). The pipette 3103 automatically removes the used pipette tip 341 and filter tip 331 into the waste hopper. Then, the pipette 3103 moves again to the pipette tip storage platform 34 to insert a new pipette tip 341. The pipette 3103 carries the new pipette tip 341 to the diluent storage platform 310 to draw up the diluent and transfer the diluent to another mixing port on the dilution platform 32.

[0075] S4: The filtered centrifugal liquid in the mixing hole of the dilution platform 32 is transferred to the mixing hole of the dilution platform 32 containing the diluent through the suction pipette head 341 to obtain the centrifugal liquid diluted according to a certain ratio, i.e., the test liquid;

[0076] The pipette 3103 continues to use the pipette tip 341 and uses the pipette tip 341 to adsorb a certain amount of the centrifuged liquid that has been filtered in the mixing well and inject it into the mixing well containing the diluent to complete the dilution and obtain the test solution.

[0077] S5: Transfer the test solution to the reagent strip in the reagent strip box 36. After the test solution reacts with the reagent strip for a period of time, transfer the reagent strip to the toxin detection box 37 for toxin detection.

[0078] After the used pipette tip 341 is removed from the waste hopper by pipette 3103, a new pipette tip 341 is inserted. The pipette 3103 carrying the new pipette tip 341 draws the test liquid and moves it to the top of the test strip box 36. The box cover 362 opens automatically, and the new pipette tip 341 injects the test liquid onto the test strip. After the test liquid reacts with the test strip for a period of time, the first gripper 3101 transfers the test strip to the toxin detection box 37 for toxin detection.

[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
