[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0019] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.
[0020] When the hatch of a gene sequencer is closed without the test kit being fully inserted, the hatch will have a hard contact with the test kit when closing, and the impact force may break the test kit. If it is possible to achieve elastic contact between the hatch and the test kit when the hatch hits the test kit that has not been fully inserted, the hatch will not generate an impact force on the test kit when the hatch touches the test kit that has not been fully inserted, but the hatch can be bounced open, thus protecting both the test kit and the hatch.
[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown:
[0022] On the one hand, the utility model provides a reagent box in-place anti-foolproof structure for a gene sequencer, including an anti-foolproof pressure block 1, which is a flexible spring structure, and the anti-foolproof pressure block 1 is arranged on the inner side of the hatch 2 of the gene sequencer 4, and the side surface of the anti-foolproof pressure block 1 corresponds to an end surface of the reagent box 3. When the reagent box 3 cannot be loaded into the correct position of the gene sequencer 4, the end surface of the reagent box 3 is elastically pressed against the side surface of the anti-foolproof pressure block 1.
[0023] Specifically, an anti-foolproof pressure block 1 is provided on the hatch 2 so that the side surface of the anti-foolproof pressure block 1 corresponds to the outer end surface of the reagent box 3. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, when the hatch 2 is closed without the reagent kit 3 being inserted in place, the anti-foolproof pressure block 1 first contacts the reagent kit. The anti-foolproof pressure block 1 is set to a flexible spring structure. On the one hand, the contact between the anti-foolproof pressure block 1 of the flexible spring structure and the reagent kit will not cause collision damage to the reagent kit. On the other hand, the elastic low pressure applied by the anti-foolproof pressure block 1 on the reagent kit 3 that is not loaded into the correct position can block the closing stroke of the hatch 2 or bounce the hatch 2 backwards, so that the operator can discover the abnormal insertion of the reagent kit in real time.
[0024] In some embodiments, a pressure block mounting seat is further included, and the pressure block mounting seat is arranged on the inner side of the cabin door 2 of the gene sequencer 4. The anti-foolproof pressure block 1 includes a pressure block shell 11 and an elastic part. The end of the pressure block shell 11 opposite to its side surface is slidably arranged in the pressure block mounting seat, and the elastic part abuts between the pressure block shell 11 and the pressure block mounting seat.
[0025] In some embodiments, the pressure block mounting seat includes a groove 21 arranged on the inner side of the cabin door 2, and a closing flange 22 is arranged at the open end of the groove 21. The bottom end of the pressure block shell 11 is open, and a circle of clamping flanges 13 are arranged outward along the bottom edge of the outer side of the pressure block shell 11. The clamping flange 13 is clamped on the inner side of the closing flange 22 of the groove 21, and the outer peripheral side surface of the clamping flange 13 slides along the inner side surface of the groove 21.
[0026] Specifically, the anti-foolproof pressure block 1 can be slidably arranged in the pressure block mounting seat, and the elastic part abuts between the pressure block shell 11 and the mounting seat. The anti-foolproof pressure block 1 is made of flexible material. When the anti-foolproof pressure block 1 contacts the reagent box, it can move toward the direction of the cabin door 2. At the same time, the elastic part provides force for the cabin door 2 to pop open, which not only protects the reagent box 3 but also can pop the cabin door 2 open.
[0027] In some embodiments, the elastic part is a compression spring 12. The compression spring 12 is used to abut between the pressing block housing 11 and the mounting seat to provide good elastic support for the anti-foolproof pressing block 1.
[0028] In some embodiments, the pressure block mounting seat also includes a first spring mounting column 23 arranged on the bottom surface of the groove, and a second spring mounting column 14 is arranged on the inner side of the anti-foolproof pressure block corresponding to the first spring mounting column 23, and the two ends of the compression spring 12 are respectively sleeved on the first spring mounting column 23 and the second spring mounting column 14.
[0029] In some embodiments, the number of the first spring mounting column 23 and the number of the second spring mounting column 14 are respectively two.
[0030] Specifically, spring mounting columns are respectively arranged on the compression block housing 11 and the mounting seat to provide support for fixing and guiding the compression spring 12 .
[0031] In some embodiments, the anti-foolproof pressure block 1 is a leaf spring fixed on the inner side of the cabin door.
[0032] Specifically, the anti-mistake pressure block 1 is a leaf spring fixed on the inner side of the cabin door. A flexible leaf spring corresponding to the position and size of the reagent kit is used as the anti-mistake pressure block 1. It has a simple structure and can prevent the cabin door 2 from colliding with the reagent kit that is not inserted into place, and can also provide elastic force to pop open the cabin door 2.
[0033] On the other hand, the utility model also provides a gene sequencer 4, including a reagent kit in place fool-proof structure for a gene sequencer as described above.
[0034] An anti-fool structure is arranged on the inner side of the hatch of the gene sequencer 4, which not only protects the reagent kit 3 and the hatch 2, but also provides guarantee for the normal operation of the gene sequencer 4.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0036] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
