Specifically, the reagent includes at least one of a fluorescent dye buffer caching reagent, a fragment quality control dilution reagent, water, and a TE reagent.
[0131] The shaking module 8 shakes and mixes the mixed liquid of the sample and the reagent in the test tube. Specifically, the shaking module 8 shakes and mixes the mixed liquid in the ELISA plate 14 placed thereon and the PCR plate 15 transferred to the shaking module 8 by the clamping module 4.

Specifically, the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument 18 can detect the concentration of the sample in the ELISA plate 14, the concentration of the sample in the PCR plate 15, and the concentration of the sample in the fragment analyzer plate 17. The specific structure of the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument 18 is the same as that in the patent: "ZL202320534684.8", which will not be repeated here.
[0133] The gun tip box 13, PCR plate 15, fragment analyzer plate 17 assembly and sample test tube assembly 16 are distributed in a matrix form on the bottom plate 12.

At the same time, it is also convenient to set a positioning and fixing structure on the bottom plate 12 to temporarily fix and position the gun tip box 13, PCR plate 15 and sample test tube assembly 16. The position of the gun tip box 13, PCR plate 15 and sample test tube assembly 16 can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0134] The tip box 13 is used to place tips of different capacities, so that the pipetting module 6 automatically selects different tips in the tip box 13 to absorb samples or reagents. The tip boxes 13 are divided into six groups, three of which are arranged along the X direction and two along the Y direction.
[0135] The sample test tube assembly 16 includes a first test tube rack 161 and a sample test tube 162. The sample test tube 162 is placed on the first test tube rack 161.

In addition, the four groups of first test tube racks 161 are arranged near the gun tip box 13 located at the edge of the bottom plate 12.
[0136] The PCR plate 15 and the fragment analyzer plate 17 components are sequentially arranged along the Y direction between the gun tip box 13 and the sample test tube 162. Specifically, the fragment analyzer plate 17 component is arranged on a side close to the switch door module of the pipetting device.
[0137] The fragment analyzer board 17 can hold test tubes of different sizes. The standard gun tip box 13 in this embodiment is 8*12. Therefore, since the diameter size range of the sample test tube 162 is 8-11 mm, the diameter of the test tube placed on the fragment analyzer board 17 is 6 mm. In order to keep the number of PCR plates 15, the number of sample test tubes 162 and the number of test tubes the same and facilitate sampling tests, the first test tube rack 161 is divided into four groups, and the number of sample test tubes 162 on each group of the first test tube rack 161 is 24.

The sample and reagent are moved to the above-mentioned ELISA plates 14, PCR plates 15, fragment analyzer plates 17, and the Tip head in the assembly gun tip box 13 by the liquid transfer module 6. After the mixed liquid of the sample and reagent in the ELISA plate 14 is shaken by the oscillation module 8, it is clamped by the clamping module 4 to the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument 18 to test the concentration of the sample. According to the concentration to be tested, the sample and reagent in a suitable ratio are re-pipetted into the PCR plate 15 and / or the fragment analyzer plate 17, and are clamped by the clamping module 4 and shaken evenly by the shaking module 8, so as to be ready for use as a test probe off the machine.

Figure 10-11 As shown, an oscillation structure is provided in this embodiment, including an oscillation working bracket 81, an oscillation motor assembly 82, an eccentric wheel assembly 83, an XY oscillation guide assembly 84, an oscillation tray 85 and a reset assembly 86, wherein the oscillation motor assembly 82 includes a servo motor 821 and a coupling 822, the servo motor 821 is installed on the oscillation working bracket 81, the output end of the servo motor 821 passes through the oscillation working bracket 81 and is connected to the coupling 822, the eccentric wheel assembly 83 is eccentrically connected to the coupling 822, and the servo motor 821 can drive the eccentric wheel assembly 83 to rotate; preferably, the coupling 822 is a cylindrical structure.
[0144] The oscillation tray 85 is connected to the eccentric wheel assembly 83, and the eccentric wheel assembly 83 can rotate relative to the oscillation tray 85. The oscillation tray 85 is provided with detachable test consumables, including PCR plates, fragment analyzer plates, ELISA plates, deep well plates, test tube racks, and test tubes on the test tube racks. The servo motor 821 provides power for oscillating the mixed liquid in the test tubes. The above-mentioned test consumables include PCR plates, fragment analyzer plates, ELISA plates, deep well plates, test tube racks, and test tubes on the test tube racks.
[0145] The XY-direction oscillation guide assembly 84 is disposed between the oscillation working support 81 and the oscillation tray 85. The XY-direction oscillation guide assembly 84 is located on one side of the eccentric wheel assembly 83. The XY-direction oscillation guide assembly 84 limits the oscillation tray 85 to move along the X-direction and the Y-direction in the horizontal plane.
[0146] The reset assembly 86 includes an optical coupler 862 and a detection sheet 861, one of which is arranged on the outer wall of the coupling 822, and the other is arranged on the top surface of the oscillation working bracket 81, and the detection sheet 861 is used to determine the origin of the servo motor 821. By determining the origin position of the servo motor 821 through the optical coupler 862 and the detection sheet 861, the position coordinates of the test consumables can be accurately determined, so that the oscillation structure can be used in an automation system. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the optical coupler 862 is arranged on the top surface of the oscillation working bracket 81, and the detection sheet 861 is installed on the outer wall of the coupling 822.
[0147] In the present embodiment, the X direction and Y direction mentioned above are as follows: Fig.11 shown.
[0148] In this embodiment, the servo motor 821 rotates, driving the eccentric wheel assembly 83 to move along the horizontal plane through the coupling 822, and then driving the oscillation tray 85 connected to the eccentric wheel assembly 83 to move along the X and Y directions in the horizontal plane to shake the test tubes so that the liquid in each test tube can be vortex mixed around the central axis of the test tube.
[0149] The XY oscillation guide assembly 84 provides precise guidance for the movement of the oscillation tray 85 in the horizontal plane, and limits the movement amplitude of the oscillation tray 85 in the horizontal plane along the X and Y directions, thereby preventing the oscillation tray 85 from shaking with excessive displacement during the oscillation process, thereby causing the mixed liquid in the test tube to be shaken out.
[0150] In addition, the above test consumables can be quickly disassembled and placed on the shaking tray 85, and the test tubes containing mixed reagents are placed on the test consumables. After the shaking is completed, the test tubes and the test consumables are removed synchronously. When the shaking structure is working, test tubes can be placed on the test consumables for shaking, and the test tubes and test consumables are moved to the shaking tray 85 at the same time, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0151] In this embodiment, the test consumables can be detachably placed on the vibration tray 85. The specific manner of "detachable" includes that the test consumables can be clamped to the vibration tray 85 by the robot, and when placed on the vibration tray 85, the test consumables can be clamped by the vibration tray 85. When the robot clamps the test consumables, the test consumables can be quickly separated from the vibration tray 85 after being clamped by the robot. When the test consumables are separated from the vibration tray 85, the robot uses less force, and the mixed liquid in the test tube will not be shaken and splashed due to the separation of the vibration tray 85.
[0152] In this embodiment, the specific structure for realizing the detachable test consumables on the oscillation tray 85 includes: a plunger spring is provided on the upper side wall of the oscillation tray 85, and the side wall of the test consumables is clamped by the plunger spring. Or, a first magnetic component is provided on the oscillation tray, and a second magnetic component is provided on the test consumables, the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are adsorbed on each other, and the first magnetic component is powered on and off to control the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component, so as to realize the rapid disassembly of the test consumables on the oscillation tray 85. Or, a lifting and rotating oil cylinder is provided on the oscillation working bracket 81, and the output end of the lifting and rotating oil cylinder is connected to a clamping rod, and the head of the clamping rod is provided with a clamping head, and the clamping head is L-shaped, and the clamping rod can be lifted and rotated through the oscillation tray. The lifting and rotating oil cylinder drives the clamping rod to rise and rotate, and rotates to a state where it can contact the test consumables, and the lifting and rotating oil cylinder descends, and the clamping head can clamp the test consumables. When the clamping head releases the test consumables, the lifting and rotating oil cylinder drives the clamping rod to rise, and then rotates, and the lifting and rotating oil cylinder descends and returns to the inside or below the oscillating working bracket 81.
[0153] The oscillation frequency range of the servo motor 821 in this embodiment is 500rpm-2000rpm. Specifically, the oscillation frequency of the servo motor 821 is 500rpm, 1000rpm, 1500rpm, and 2000rpm. When the oscillation frequency of the servo motor 821 is lower than 500rpm, the oscillation effect is poor, and the mixed liquid in the test tube is mixed evenly. When the oscillation frequency of the servo motor 821 is higher than 2000rpm, the oscillation is violent, causing the mixed liquid in the test tube to easily spill. The oscillation frequency can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0154] Preferably, the oscillation working bracket 81 includes an oscillation support frame 811 and an oscillation mounting plate 812, the oscillation mounting plate 812 is installed above the oscillation support frame 811, the oscillation motor assembly 82 is arranged in the oscillation support frame 811 and connected to the oscillation mounting plate 812, the oscillation motor assembly 82 is located below the oscillation mounting plate 812, the output end of the oscillation motor assembly 82 passes through the oscillation mounting plate 812 and is connected to the eccentric wheel assembly 83, the XY oscillation guide assembly 84 is connected to the oscillation mounting plate 812, and is located on the upper surface of the oscillation mounting plate 812.

The clearance between the eccentric wheel mounting groove 8512 and the eccentric wheel assembly 83 ensures that the eccentric wheel assembly 83 rotates, but does not drive the vibration tray 85 to rotate. During the eccentric rotation of the eccentric wheel assembly 83, it can only push the vibration tray 85 to move along the X and Y directions in the horizontal plane to generate vibration, and the vibration tray 85 and the eccentric wheel assembly 83 will not be disengaged. Preferably, the gap between the eccentric wheel assembly 83 and the eccentric wheel mounting groove 8512 is 0.1 mm.

Further preferably, the distance between the center of the eccentric wheel assembly 83 and the center of the servo motor 821 ranges from 1mm to 1.5mm. When the distance between the two is less than 1mm, the displacement caused by the eccentric motion of the eccentric wheel assembly 83 is small, resulting in insufficient oscillation effect. When the distance between the two is greater than 1.5mm, the displacement caused by the eccentric motion of the eccentric wheel assembly 83 is large, which can easily cause the mixed reagent in the test tube to shake violently, affecting the mixing effect.

The distance between the center of the cam follower 831 and the center of the servo motor 821 ranges from 1 mm to 1.5 mm. When the distance between the two is less than 1 mm, the displacement generated by the eccentric motion of the cam follower 831 is small, resulting in insufficient oscillation effect. When the distance between the two is greater than 1.5 mm, the displacement generated by the eccentric motion of the cam follower 831 is large, which can easily cause the mixed reagent in the test tube to shake violently, affecting the mixing effect. The cam follower 831 is selected according to actual needs and is a conventional structure on the market.

Preferably, the distance between the center of the eccentric wheel and the center of the stepper motor (i.e., the center of the servo motor 821 and the coupling 822) is in the range of 1 mm or 1.5 mm.

That is, the coupling assembly 824 is provided with two groups of mounting holes, and the two groups of mounting holes are eccentrically arranged up and down, and the output end of the stepper motor 823 passes through the oscillation working space and is connected to one group of mounting holes, and the eccentric wheel assembly 83 is connected to the other group of mounting holes. The stepper motor 823 drives the eccentric wheel to move in the plane through the coupling assembly 824.
[0179] The oscillating tray 85 is connected to the eccentric wheel assembly 83, and the eccentric wheel assembly 83 can rotate relative to the oscillating tray 85. Removable test consumables are placed on the oscillating tray 85, and a plurality of test tubes containing mixed reagents are placed on the test consumables.
[0180] The XY-direction oscillation guide assembly 84 is disposed between the oscillation working support 81 and the oscillation tray 85. The XY-direction oscillation guide assembly 84 is located on one side of the eccentric wheel assembly 83. The XY-direction oscillation guide assembly 84 limits the oscillation tray 85 to move along the X-direction and the Y-direction in the horizontal plane.
[0181] The reset assembly 86 includes a first fixing member 863 , a reset spring 864 , and a crank connecting rod member 865 . The first fixing member 863 is disposed on the oscillating working support 81 or at the bottom of the oscillating tray 85 .
[0182] The crank-connecting rod 865 is installed on the coupling assembly 824 and can rotate relative to the coupling assembly 824. The rotation center of the crank-connecting rod 865 is not coaxial with the stepper motor 823 and / or the coupling assembly 824. When the coupling assembly 824 rotates, the crank-connecting rod 865 can rotate relative to the coupling assembly 824. Due to the eccentric movement of the eccentric wheel assembly 83, the return spring 864 is stretched and deformed, preventing the return spring 864 from being wrapped around the coupling assembly 824.
[0183] One end of the return spring 864 is connected to the crank connecting rod 865, and the other end is connected to the first fixing member 863. When the stepper motor 823 rotates, the return spring 864 is stretched, but the return spring 864 will not be wound around the coupling assembly 824.
[0184] In the present embodiment, the X direction and Y direction mentioned above are as follows: Fig.16 shown.
[0185] In this embodiment, the stepper motor 823 rotates to drive the eccentric wheel assembly 83 to move through the coupling assembly 824, thereby driving the oscillation tray 85 connected to the eccentric wheel assembly 83 to move in the horizontal plane along the X and Y directions to shake the test tubes so that the liquid in each test tube can be vortex mixed around the central axis of the test tube.
[0186] The XY oscillation guide assembly 84 provides precise guidance for the movement of the oscillation tray 85 in the horizontal plane, and limits the movement amplitude of the oscillation tray 85 in the horizontal plane along the X and Y directions, thereby preventing the oscillation tray 85 from shaking with excessive displacement during the oscillation process, thereby causing the mixed liquid in the test tube to be shaken out.
[0187] In addition, the above test consumables can be quickly disassembled and placed on the shaking tray 85, and the test tubes containing mixed reagents are placed on the test consumables. After the shaking is completed, the test tubes and the test consumables are removed synchronously. When the shaking structure is working, test tubes can be placed on the test consumables for shaking, and the test tubes and test consumables are moved to the shaking tray 85 at the same time, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0188] At the same time, when the stepper motor 823 drives the oscillation tray 85 to move in the horizontal plane, the reset spring 864 is stretched, and when the stepper motor 823 stops working, the reset spring 864 contracts to pull the stepper motor 823 to reset, so that the test consumables on the oscillation tray 85 return to the origin, and the automation system can recognize the position of the test consumables, so that the oscillation structure can be applied to the automation system.
[0189] In this embodiment, the test consumables can be detachably placed on the vibration tray 85. The specific manner of "detachable" includes that the test consumables can be clamped to the vibration tray 85 by the robot, and when placed on the vibration tray 85, the test consumables can be clamped by the vibration tray 85. When the robot clamps the test consumables, the test consumables can be quickly separated from the vibration tray 85 after being clamped by the robot. When the test consumables are separated from the vibration tray 85, the robot uses less force, and the mixed liquid in the test tube will not be shaken and splashed due to the separation of the vibration tray 85.
[0190] In this embodiment, the specific structure for realizing the detachable test consumables on the oscillation tray 85 includes: a plunger spring 853 is provided on the upper side wall of the oscillation tray 85, and the side wall of the test consumables is clamped by the plunger spring 853. Or, a first magnetic component is provided on the oscillation tray 85, and a second magnetic component is provided on the test consumables, the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are adsorbed on each other, and the first magnetic component is powered on and off to control the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component, so as to realize the rapid disassembly of the test consumables on the oscillation tray 85. Or, a lifting and rotating oil cylinder is provided on the oscillation working bracket 81, and the output end of the lifting and rotating oil cylinder is connected to a clamping rod, and the head of the clamping rod is provided with a clamping head, and the clamping head is L-shaped, and the clamping rod can be lifted and rotated through the oscillation tray. The lifting and rotating oil cylinder drives the clamping rod to rise and rotate, and rotates to a state where it can contact the test consumables, and the lifting and rotating oil cylinder descends, and the clamping head can clamp the test consumables. When the clamping head releases the test consumables, the lifting and rotating oil cylinder drives the clamping rod to rise, and then rotates, and the lifting and rotating oil cylinder descends and returns to the inside or below the oscillating working bracket 81.
[0191] The oscillation frequency range of the stepper motor 823 in this embodiment is 500rpm-2000rpm. Specifically, the oscillation frequency of the stepper motor 823 is 500rpm, 1000rpm, 1500rpm, and 2000rpm. When the oscillation frequency of the stepper motor 823 is lower than 500rpm, the oscillation effect is poor, and the mixed liquid in the test tube is mixed evenly. When the oscillation frequency of the stepper motor 823 is higher than 2000rpm, the oscillation is violent, causing the mixed liquid in the test tube to easily spill. The oscillation frequency can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0192] like Fig.16 As shown, the oscillation working bracket 81 includes an oscillation support frame 811 and an oscillation mounting plate 812. The oscillation mounting plate 812 is installed above the oscillation support frame 811. The oscillation motor assembly 82 is arranged in the oscillation support frame 811 and connected to the oscillation mounting plate 812. The oscillation motor assembly 82 is located below the oscillation mounting plate 812. The output end of the oscillation motor assembly 82 passes through the oscillation mounting plate 812 and is connected to the eccentric wheel assembly 83. The XY oscillation guide assembly 84 is connected to the oscillation mounting plate 812 and is located on the upper surface of the oscillation mounting plate 812.
[0193] By setting an oscillation support frame 811 and an oscillation mounting plate 812, the oscillation support frame 811 is a hollow structure, and the stepper motor 813 is set in the space of the oscillation support frame 811, and its output end extends out of the oscillation mounting plate 812. The structure is compact and integral, and the oscillation support frame 811 is set as a hollow structure. The overall structure is light in weight and easy to install.
[0194] Preferably, an eccentric wheel mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the vibration tray 85, and the gap between the eccentric wheel assembly 83 and the eccentric wheel mounting groove ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. The clearance between the eccentric wheel mounting groove and the eccentric wheel assembly 83 ensures that the eccentric wheel assembly 83 rotates, but does not drive the vibration tray 85 to rotate. During the eccentric rotation of the eccentric wheel assembly 83, it can only push the vibration tray 85 to move along the X and Y directions in the horizontal plane to generate vibration, and the vibration tray 85 and the eccentric wheel assembly 83 will not be disengaged. Preferably, the gap between the eccentric wheel assembly 83 and the eccentric wheel mounting groove is 0.1 mm.
[0195] Preferably, a motor mounting hole is provided on the side of the oscillation mounting plate 812 facing the upper eccentric wheel, and the output end of the oscillation motor assembly 82 extends out of the motor mounting hole and is connected to the eccentric wheel assembly 83. A weight-reducing groove 8122 is provided in the circumference of the motor mounting hole, and the return spring 864 and the first fixing member 863 are provided in the weight-reducing groove 8122. Further preferably, the weight-reducing grooves 8122 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the motor mounting hole, and the weight-reducing grooves 8122 are U-shaped. There are four groups of weight-reducing grooves 8122 in this embodiment.
[0196] The oscillation module 8 further includes a tray support plate 854 disposed between the oscillation tray 85 and the oscillation mounting plate 812, so as to support the oscillation tray 85. Due to the structural dimensions of the coupling assembly 824 in the oscillation module 8 along the Z direction, the tray support plate 854 is provided to ensure the structural dimensions of the coupling assembly 824, and also to facilitate the connection of the oscillation tray 85 with the XY-direction oscillation guide assembly 84 and the eccentric wheel assembly 83. Specifically, the tray support plate 854 is a square ring member.
[0197] Preferably, if Fig.16 , Fig.17 , Fig.18a , Fig.18b As shown, the coupling assembly 824 includes: a first coupling member 8241 and a second coupling member 8242 are arranged in parallel up and down, and a connecting shaft 8243, one end of the connecting shaft 8243 is connected to the first coupling member 8241, and the other end is connected to the second coupling member 8242.

The first coupling 8241 is connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 813, and the second coupling 8242 is connected to the eccentric wheel assembly 83. The first coupling 8241 and the second coupling 8242 rotate synchronously, driving the vibration tray 85 to move along the XY direction in the horizontal plane, thereby generating vibration, so that the mixed liquid in the test tube is mixed evenly. At the same time, the structure of the first coupling 8241, the second coupling 8242 and the connecting shaft 8243 is arranged in an "I" shape, which is simple in structure, easy to process and install, and low in cost.
[0199] Preferably, the crank connecting rod 865 includes a sleeve and a crank 8653 connected to the sleeve, the sleeve is sleeved on the connecting shaft 8243 and can rotate relative to the connecting shaft 8243, and one end of the return spring 864 is connected to the crank 8653. The crank 8653 fixes the return spring 864, and the sleeve rotates relative to the connecting shaft 8243, thereby preventing the return spring 864 from being wound around the sleeve. When the first coupling 8241 and the second coupling 8242 rotate synchronously, the return spring 864 is only stretched and deformed.
[0200] Preferably, the shaft sleeve includes a first connecting member 8651 and a second connecting member 8652, which are coaxial and relatively arranged on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft 8243, and the first connecting member 8651 and the second connecting member 8652 are both provided with semicircular holes, and the two are relatively connected and sleeved on the connecting shaft 8243.

[0202] One end of the connecting shaft 8243 is interference fitted with the first coupling member 8241, and the other end is interference fitted with the second connecting shaft 8243. To facilitate the assembly of the crank-connecting rod member 865, the crank-connecting rod member 865 is divided into two parts, a first connecting member 8651 and a second connecting member 8652. Connecting holes are provided on the first connecting member 8651 and the second connecting member 8652, and screws are inserted through the connecting holes to connect the first connecting member 8651 and the second connecting member 8652.
[0203] Preferably, the distance between the center of the eccentric wheel assembly 83 and the center of the stepper motor 823 ranges from 1mm to 1.5mm. Specifically, the distance between the center of the eccentric wheel assembly 83 and the center of the stepper motor 823 (i.e., the center of the second coupling 8242) ranges from 1mm to 1.5mm. Through the eccentric rotation of the eccentric wheel assembly 83, the oscillation tray 85 is displaced in the XY direction in the horizontal plane, thereby producing an oscillation effect. Preferably, the distance between the center of the eccentric wheel assembly 83 and the center of the oscillation motor assembly 82 ranges from 1mm or 1.5mm. When the distance between the two is less than 1mm, the displacement produced by the eccentric motion of the eccentric wheel assembly 83 is small, resulting in insufficient oscillation effect. When the distance between the two is greater than 1.5mm, the displacement produced by the eccentric motion of the eccentric wheel assembly 83 is large, which easily causes the mixed reagent in the test tube to shake violently, affecting the mixing effect.
[0204] Preferably, the eccentric wheel assembly 83 includes a cam follower 831, and the shaft of the cam follower 831 is connected to the coupling 822.

When the distance between the two is less than 1 mm, the displacement caused by the eccentric motion of the cam follower 831 is small, resulting in insufficient oscillation effect. When the distance between the two is greater than 1.5 mm, the displacement caused by the eccentric motion of the cam follower 831 is large, which easily causes the mixed reagent in the test tube to shake violently, affecting the mixing effect. The cam follower 831 is selected according to actual needs and is a conventional structure on the market.
[0205] In other embodiments, the eccentric wheel assembly 83 includes an eccentric wheel, an eccentric connecting shaft and an intermediate connecting bearing, one end of the eccentric connecting shaft is connected to the coupling 822, and the other end of the eccentric connecting shaft is connected to the inner ring of the intermediate connecting bearing.

Specifically, the two groups of XY oscillation guide assemblies 84 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the stepper motor 823. When the oscillation tray 85 moves in the horizontal plane, the XY oscillation guide assemblies 84 guide the movement of the oscillation tray 85 along the X and Y directions, and the two groups of XY oscillation guide assemblies 84 can ensure that the oscillation tray 85 is uniformly stressed, thereby ensuring that the oscillation tray 85 moves smoothly in the horizontal plane and shakes evenly.
[0208] In this embodiment, an eccentric wheel mounting groove 8512 is provided at the bottom of the oscillation tray 85, and the cam follower 831 is clearance-matched with the eccentric wheel mounting groove 8512.
