[0064] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0065] like Figure 1a , Figure 1b , Figure 2 As shown, an oscillation structure is provided in this embodiment, including an oscillation working support 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 stepper motor 823 and a coupling assembly 824, and the stepper motor 823 is installed on the oscillation working support 81. The stepper motor 823 passes through the output end of the oscillation working support 81 and the eccentric wheel assembly 83 eccentrically arranged, and both are connected to the coupling assembly 824. That is, two groups of mounting holes are arranged on the coupling assembly 824, 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.

[0066] 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. The detachable test consumables 800 are placed on the oscillating tray 85. The test consumables include PCR plates, fragment analyzer plates, ELISA plates, deep well plates, test tube racks and test tubes on the test tube racks.

[0067] 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.

[0068] 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 .

[0069] 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.

[0070] 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.

[0071] In the above-mentioned X direction and Y direction in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown.

[0072] 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.

[0073] 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.

[0074] In addition, the test consumables 800 can be quickly disassembled and placed on the shaking tray 85. Test tubes containing mixed reagents are placed on the test consumables 800. After the shaking is completed, the test tubes and the test consumables 800 are removed synchronously. When the shaking structure is working, test tubes can be placed on the test consumables 800 for shaking. The test tubes and the test consumables 800 are moved to the shaking tray 85 at the same time, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0075] 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, pulling the stepper motor 823 to reset. This allows the test consumables 800 on the oscillation tray 85 to return to the origin, making it easier for the automation system to identify the position of the test consumables 800, so that the oscillation structure can be applied to the automation system.

[0076] In this embodiment, the test consumable 800 is detachably placed on the vibration tray 85. The specific manner of "detachability" includes that the test consumable 800 can be clamped to the vibration tray 85 by the robot, and when placed on the vibration tray 85, the test consumable 800 can be clamped by the vibration tray 85. When the robot clamps the test consumable 800, it can quickly detach from the vibration tray 85 after being clamped by the robot. When the test consumable 800 is detached 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 detachment of the vibration tray 85.

[0077] 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 800 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 800, the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are mutually adsorbed, 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 800. When the clamping head releases the test consumable 800, 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.

[0078] 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.

[0079] like Figure 2As 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.

[0080] 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.

[0081] 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.

[0082] 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.

[0083] The oscillation structure 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 structure along the Z direction, the tray support plate 854 is disposed 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.

[0084] Preferably, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4a , Figure 4b 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. Preferably, the first coupling member 8241 and the connecting shaft 8243 are interference fitted, and the second coupling member 8242 and the connecting shaft 8243 are interference fitted. In other embodiments, the first coupling member 8241, the second coupling member 8242, and the connecting shaft 8243 are an integrally processed structure.

[0085] The crank connecting rod 865 is arranged between the first coupling 8241 and the second coupling 8242, and is sleeved on the connecting shaft 8243. 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.

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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. The crank 8653 is connected to the second connecting member 8652. Preferably, the second connecting member 8652 and the crank 8653 are integrally formed. The two are integrally formed, which is convenient for installation and processing and saves installation space.

[0088] Preferably, a second fixing member 866 is provided on the crank 8653, one end of the return spring 864 is connected to the second fixing member 866, and the other end is connected to the first fixing member 863. In other embodiments, a connecting hole is provided on the crank 8653, one end of the return spring 864 is connected to the connecting hole, and the other end is connected to the first fixing member 863.

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.
