[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can understand the present invention more clearly.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrally formed structure. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of such terms in this patent can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a consumable placement structure for a fully automatic immunofluorescence staining instrument, including a panel 1 and a TIP rack 2;

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, the TIP rack 2 includes a mounting plate 201, and a plurality of through holes 202 are provided on the mounting plate 201. The through holes 202 can be used to clamp TIP heads of different specifications such as 50ul, 200ul, and 1000ul. A first lap plate 203 is fixed on the side wall of the mounting plate 201. The top of the first lap plate 203 is flush with the top of the mounting plate 201. The first lap plate 203 is parallel to the mounting plate 201. The first lap plate 203 is arranged circumferentially along the mounting plate 201. Three limiting plates 204 are fixed to the bottom end of the first lap plate 203. The limiting plates 204 are perpendicular to the mounting plate 201, one of the limiting plates 204 is parallel to the width direction of the mounting plate 201, and the other two limiting plates 204 are parallel to the length direction of the mounting plate 201.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the panel 1 is provided with a first window 101 adapted to the mounting plate 201, the panel 1 is provided with a limiting hole 104 adapted to the limiting plate 204, the mounting plate 201 is embedded in the first window 101, the first lap plate 203 is overlapped on the panel 1, the limiting plate 204 is embedded in the limiting hole 104, and a support plate 5 is installed at the bottom of the panel 1.

[0032] Based on the above structure, the consumable placement structure provided in this embodiment is used for a fully automatic immunofluorescence staining instrument. When the TIP rack needs to be replaced according to different staining projects, the mounting plate 201 can be lifted upward so that the mounting plate 201 is separated from the first window 101, and at the same time, the limiting plate 204 is separated from the limiting hole 104, and the mounting plate 201 can be removed. Disassembly or installation is very convenient, and the TIP rack can be flexibly replaced according to different staining projects to achieve multi-project staining with one machine.

[0033] Among them, the setting of the limiting plate 204 can not only limit the mounting plate 201 to prevent the mounting plate 201 from shaking and deviating, but also based on the position distribution of the three limiting plates 204, the mounting plate 201 can only be placed into the first window 101 along one direction, which can avoid the mounting plate 201 from being switched to the left or right direction.

[0034] The support plate 5 can not only support the panel 1, but also when the TIP head is placed in the through hole 202, the panel 1 and the support plate 5 can protect the TIP head to prevent external interference to the TIP head.

[0035] In this embodiment, the plurality of through holes 202 are distributed in a matrix, which is beneficial to the orderly arrangement of the TIP heads.

[0036] The two ends of the limiting plate 204 are provided with chamfered structures, which is conducive to the limiting plate 204 sliding into the limiting hole 104 quickly, thereby accelerating the installation speed.

[0037] A guard plate 205 is fixed to the top of the first lap plate 203. The guard plate 205 is arranged along the circumference of the first lap plate 203 to prevent the TIP head from being disturbed by the outside world.

[0043] Specifically, Figure 4-5 As shown, the waste liquid recovery unit 4 includes a lower cylinder 401, an upper cylinder 402, an annular connecting plate 403, and a waste liquid recovery bottle 404. The upper end of the lower cylinder 401 is open, and the upper and lower ends of the upper cylinder 402 are open, wherein the diameter of the upper cylinder 402 is larger than that of the lower cylinder 401, the upper cylinder 402, the lower cylinder 401, and the annular connecting plate 403 are coaxial, the outer diameter of the annular connecting plate 403 is the same as the diameter of the upper cylinder 402, the inner diameter of the annular connecting plate 403 is the same as the diameter of the lower cylinder 401, and the lower end of the upper cylinder 402 is sealed and connected to the outer ring of the annular connecting plate 403, and the lower cylinder 401 The upper end is sealed and connected with the inner ring of the annular connecting plate 403, that is, the upper tube 402 is sealed and connected with the lower tube 401 through the annular connecting plate 403, the waste liquid recovery bottle 404 is embedded in the lower tube 401, and a second window 102 is opened on the panel 1, the upper tube 402 is adapted to the second window 102, the upper tube 402 is clamped in the second window 102, and a second lap plate 405 is fixed along the circumferential direction at the top end of the outer wall of the upper tube 402, and an annular groove adapted to the second lap plate 405 is opened on the panel 1, and the second lap plate 405 is embedded in the annular groove.

[0044] By lifting the waste liquid recovery bottle 404, the waste liquid recovery bottle 404 can be directly taken out, the operation is very simple, and it is conducive to the rapid replacement of the waste liquid recovery bottle 404, and the upper tube 402 and the lower tube 401 can collect the waste liquid splashed to the outside of the waste liquid recovery bottle 404 to avoid the waste liquid from contaminating the panel 1.
