Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an in vitro diagnostic device, in particular to a vertical position detection device for an experimental needle of an in vitro diagnostic device. Background Art

[0002] To achieve the full-automatic operation of an in vitro diagnostic device, the host computer needs to control each module of the in vitro diagnostic device to move to a specified position to perform relevant actions. These specified positions need to be manually debugged and pulse-saved for each module position in advance. As a core module of the in vitro diagnostic device, whether the vertical single-module debugging position of the injection needle is accurate is closely related to the performance of the in vitro diagnostic device.

[0003] Currently, for the single-module debugging of the injection needle in the vertical direction, the host computer is manually operated to add / subtract pulses to control the injection needle to fall to the bottom position of the sample tube, and the single-module debugging position is confirmed by manually observing the deformation of the injection needle tip touching the bottom + buffer spring. Its deficiencies are: 1. Low single-module debugging efficiency: Since the debugging station is far from the position where the injection needle module is located, the position is not easy to observe, and two people are required to cooperate for single-module debugging, that is, one person observes the position state of the injection needle, and the other person operates the host computer to control the movement of the injection needle. 2. Poor single-module debugging accuracy: Limited by space, it is not easy to observe the movement position of the injection needle manually, and it is impossible to ensure the consistency of the injection needle position debugging process.

The collector of transistor T1 and the emitter of transistor T2 are connected to the ground terminal GND. The base of transistor T2 is connected to the ground terminal GND through a resistor R1. The first light-emitting diode D1 is used to indicate the working state of the detection circuit.

[0009] The needle tip in-place indication unit includes transistors T3 and T4. The emitter of transistor T3 is connected to the positive electrode of the storage battery E. The collector of transistor T3 is connected to the base of transistor T4. The emitter of transistor T4 is connected to the positive electrode of the second light-emitting diode D2.
