Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of solid-phase microextraction, in particular to a full-automatic solid-phase microextraction device. Background Art

[0002] Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) technology is one of the commonly used techniques for sample pretreatment in laboratories.

[0003] The traditional solid-phase extraction method for pretreatment has the following disadvantages: ① The column needs to be pre-washed with methanol and water → the extract is passed through the column → the impurities are washed with water → elution and other steps, and the operation is relatively complicated; ② The cost of the solid-phase extraction column is relatively high; ③ Automation can be achieved through a full-automatic solid-phase extraction instrument, but the price of the full-automatic solid-phase extraction instrument is expensive, and it is difficult for general laboratories to be equipped; ④ There are problems such as easy blockage and difficult elution for viscous, colloidal and complex samples.

[0004] Previous research used cotton swabs, which are commonly seen in people's daily lives, as carriers, and replaced the traditional solid-phase extraction column with a solid-phase microextraction rod made by wrapping fillers on the cotton swab. A cotton swab SPME solid-phase microextraction head covered with a PANB coating was prepared by a simple "dip-coating" method to achieve the detection of more than a hundred kinds of agricultural and veterinary residues and mycotoxins. The cost is low, the operation is simple, and the detection results are accurate and reliable; however, there is no full-automatic pretreatment equipment suitable for the cotton swab solid-phase extraction head so far.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a full-automatic solid-phase microextraction device, which is an automatic processing equipment suitable for the adsorption, cleaning and desorption of the cotton swab SPME solid-phase microextraction head. Summary of the Utility Model

[0023] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the following, in conjunction with the attached drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific implementation manners, structures, features and their effects of the present invention as follows.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, a full-automatic solid-phase microextraction device includes a base 1. A controller 2 is provided on one side above the base 1. A moving device is provided on one side of the controller 2. A vibration stirring mechanism is provided below the moving device. A probe is provided below the vibration stirring mechanism. The probe is connected to a probe cotton swab 3. A test tube tray 4 is provided on the other side above the base 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the moving device is a left and right automatic telescopic fixture 5, and the left and right automatic telescopic fixture 5 is provided on one side of the controller 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the vibration stirring mechanism is an up-and-down moving and rotating mechanism, which includes a rotating motor 6, a rotating synchronous belt 7, a lifting motor 8, a lifting screw 9, a lifting rotating shaft 10, a sleeve rod 11, a synchronous rotating sleeve 12, a first support plate 13, a second support plate 14, and a third support plate 15. The rotating motor 6 is installed on the first support plate 13 through a bracket 16, the lifting motor 8 is installed on the first support plate 13, one end of the lifting screw 9 is connected to the lifting motor 8, the other end of the lifting screw 9 is sleeved on one end of the second support plate 14, one end of the lifting rotating shaft 10 is sleeved on the other end of the second support plate 14, and the other end of the lifting rotating shaft 10 passes through the sleeve rod 11, the third support plate 15, the synchronous rotating sleeve 12, the first support plate 13, and the sleeve rod 11 in sequence and is connected to the probe. The rotating synchronous belt 7 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 17 of the rotating motor, the synchronous rotating sleeve 12, and the support runner 18.

[0027] In this embodiment, the controller 2 is a 4.3-inch touch screen. The controller 2 is electrically connected to the left and right automatic telescopic device 5 and the vibration stirring mechanism, and all control functions and parameter settings are realized on the touch screen.

[0028] In this embodiment, the test tube tray 4 is fixed on the base 1. The test tube tray 4 is a 60-hole centrifuge tube rack, with 5 tubes in a row and a total of 12 rows, suitable for 0.5ml, 1.5ml, and 2.0ml test tubes.

[0029] In this embodiment, the probe includes a probe tube 19, a probe jaw 20, and a probe socket head 21 threadedly connected to the probe tube 19. The top of the probe tube 19 is sleeved on the bottom of the lifting rotating shaft 10 and fixed by a screw 23. The bottom of the probe tube 19 is sleeved on one end of the probe jaw 20 where the jaw head 20-1 is not provided. When one end of the probe socket head 21 is screwed and fixed on the outer side of the lower part of the probe tube 19, the jaw head 20-1 of the probe jaw 20 fits against the conical part of the probe socket head 21, and the conical part of the probe socket head 21 gives an inward clamping force to the jaw head 20-1 of the probe jaw 20, thereby realizing the fixation of the top of the probe cotton swab 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, the dimensions of a fully automatic solid-phase microextraction device are 500X260X300mm in length, width, and height.

[0031] In this embodiment, both the number of the lifting rotating shafts 10 and the number of probes are 5. The probes are automatically adapted to the test tubes 22 at each position in 12 rows on the test tube tray 4 through the left and right automatic telescopic device 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, the probe cotton swab 3 realizes the up-and-down movement and simultaneous rotation of the lifting rotating shaft 10 through the lifting screw 9, the rotating motor 6, and the rotating synchronous belt 7, and the frequency is adjusted by the controller 2.

[0033] Working principle: After screwing the probe socket 21 downward from the probe tube 19 by a certain distance, the tops of the 5 probe cotton swabs 3 made by wrapping filler with cotton swabs are sequentially passed through the holes at the top of the probe socket 21 and then through the jaw heads 20-1 of the probe jaws 20. Then, screw the probe socket 21 in the reverse direction to achieve the fixed connection between the probe tube 19 and the probe socket 21. During this process, the jaw heads 20-1 of the probe jaws 20 are in contact with the conical part of the probe socket 21, and the conical part of the probe socket 21 gives an inward clamping force to the jaw heads 20-1 of the probe jaws 20, so as to fix the tops of the probe cotton swabs 3. By adjusting the control function and parameter setting through the controller 2, the left and right automatic telescopic fixer 5 drives the probe cotton swab 3 to move above a row of test tubes 22 in the selected test tube tray 4. Start the rotation motor 6 and the lifting motor 8. The rotation of the rotation motor 6 drives the rotation of the rotation synchronous belt 7. The rotation of the rotation synchronous belt 7 drives the rotation of the synchronous rotation sleeve 12 (at this time, the rotation synchronous belt 7 is cross-sleeved on multiple synchronous rotation sleeves 12 in an S shape). The rotation of the synchronous rotation sleeve 12 drives the rotation of the lifting rotation shaft 10. The lifting motor 8 drives the rotation of the lifting screw 9. The rotation of the lifting screw 9 drives the second support plate 14 to move downward. The downward movement of the second support plate 14 drives the downward movement of the lifting rotation shaft 10. The downward movement of the lifting rotation shaft 10 makes the probe cotton swab 3 probe downward into the test tube 22. The rotation of the lifting rotation shaft 10 drives the probe and the probe cotton swab 3 to rotate at the set speed. The lifting rotation shaft 10 moves up and down and rotates at the same time, driving the probe and the probe cotton swab 3 to move up and down and rotate at the same time, so as to achieve oscillation. After reaching the set time, the rotation motor 6 stops working, and the lifting rotation shaft 10 stops rotating. The lifting motor 8 controls the lifting screw 9 to rotate in the reverse direction. The reverse rotation of the lifting screw 9 drives the second support plate 14 to move upward. The upward movement of the second support plate 14 drives the upward movement of the lifting rotation shaft 10. At this time, the lifting rotation shaft 10 stops rotating and moves upward at a constant speed, driving the probe cotton swab 3 to move out of the test tube 22 above the test tube 22. Select a new row of test tubes 22 through the left and right automatic telescopic fixer 5 and repeat the above operations.

[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to obtain equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, but as long as the technical content of the present invention is not departed from, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
