[0155] For the convenience of understanding, the control device of PCR is specifically the constant temperature control device of PCR. The device adds a temperature sensor on the heat sink to monitor the temperature of the heat sink as another input of the temperature control system, and the temperature sensor in the TEC and the temperature sensor on the heat sink are used as inputs to form a new control method to make the system stable. This content can be combined Figure 7 understood, Figure 7 The schematic diagram of heating TEC element and its temperature sensor in the control device of PCR in the embodiment of the application.

[0156] 1) Hardware form:

[0157] The temperature control module structure in the application can be combined with Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 as shown, Figure 8 The schematic diagram of an application scenario of the control device of PCR in the embodiment of the application is shown. Figure 9 The schematic diagram of another application scenario of the control device of PCR in the embodiment of the application is shown. Figure 10 The schematic diagram of the hardware form of the PCR module temperature control assembly in the embodiment of the application is shown. In Figure 8 , the heat dissipation assembly 105, the heating assembly 101 and the reaction tube 102 are shown; in actual application, the heat dissipation assembly 105 can be specifically a heat sink; the heating assembly 101 can be specifically a TEC, which can include a TEC-A surface and a TEC-B surface, as an example, one surface of the lower side of the TEC can be understood as the TEC-A surface, and one surface of the upper side of the TEC can be understood as the TEC-A surface. In Figure 9 , the first heating assembly 1011, the second heating assembly 1012, the reaction tube 102, the heat dissipation assembly 105 and the second sensor 106 are shown; in actual application, the first heating assembly 1011 can also be referred to as heating element 1; the second heating assembly 1012 can also be referred to as heating element 2; the heat dissipation assembly 105 can be specifically a heat sink; the second sensor 106 can be specifically understood as a temperature sensor corresponding to the heat sink, and can also be referred to as a heat sink temperature sensor. In Figure 10 , the hardware form of the PCR module temperature control assembly includes a heating module and a reaction chamber.

[0158] The deep black is a heat sink, the two pipes are TEC (heating elements), the rightmost is a fan, and the reaction tube between the two heating elements. That is, it is double-sided heating, with heating elements and heat sinks on the upper and lower sides.

[0159] 2) Hardware control:

[0160] The temperature control module in the present application collects the temperature of the sensor on the heating element and the temperature of the temperature sensor on the heat sink as input. This content can be combined with Figure 11 It is understood that Figure 11 The schematic diagram of the hardware control in the control device of PCR in the embodiment of the present application.

[0161] Sensor 1 and sensor 2 are used to collect the temperature above heating element 1 and heating element 2 respectively, which are used as target temperature control. The two heating elements are independently controlled. The temperature electrical signal of sensor 1 is converted into digital signal through ADC, and then converted into temperature value through the calculation of MCU. After setting the target temperature, the MCU outputs the duty cycle through PID algorithm with the sensor temperature value as input. When the duty cycle is 0 or negative, the circuit always outputs low level, and the heating sensor is not heated. When the duty cycle is positive, the corresponding PWM waveform is outputted, which is converted into corresponding voltage value or current value added to the heating element through the driving circuit to generate heat power for heating. According to the working principle of TEC, in the heating process, the heat is concentrated to the side of the reaction tube, and the temperature of the side close to the heat sink will decrease a little. In the cooling process, the heat is concentrated to the side close to the heat sink, and the temperature of the heat sink will increase at this time. After many cycles of heating and cooling, the temperature on the heat sink will continue to rise, and the heat dissipation capacity will decrease. Because the TEC heats up and cools down quickly, if only the fan is turned on according to the target temperature of sensor 1 or sensor 2 in the cooling process, it cannot meet the stable heating and cooling rate and constant temperature range.

[0162] Scheme one adopts sensor 3 and sensor 4 to collect the temperature above heat sink 1 and heat sink 2 respectively, which are used to control the fan air volume. The fan is also controlled by PWM. The electrical signals of sensor 3 and 4 are converted into digital signals through ADC, and then converted into temperature values through the calculation of MCU. When any one of sensor 3 or sensor 4 enters the range of [threshold-3℃, threshold+3℃], the fan starts to work. When the sensor temperature is lower than threshold-3℃, the fan is turned off. When the difference between the sensor temperature value and the threshold is within [-3℃, 3℃], the duty cycle is outputted through PID calculation, which is converted into corresponding voltage value or current value added to the fan through the driving circuit. When the sensor temperature is greater than threshold+3℃, the fan air volume is opened to the maximum. In this way, the temperature of the heat sink can be stably controlled within the range of [threshold-3℃, threshold+3℃], and the heat dissipation capacity of the heat sink is relatively stable, so that the heating and cooling rate can be relatively consistent each time.

[0163] Scheme two, in the cooling process, the temperature of sensor 1 and sensor 2 are used as the switch control of the first input signal of the fan. When the difference between the target temperature and the temperature of sensor 1 and sensor 2 is less than 0, it means that the cooling process is needed, at this time the fan is opened to the maximum wind volume. When the difference between the target temperature and the temperature of sensor 1 or sensor 2 is greater than or equal to 0, the fan is closed. In addition, the sensor 3 and sensor 4 of the radiator are used as the second input signal of the fan control. When any one of sensor 3 or sensor 4 enters the range of [threshold-3℃, threshold+3℃], the fan starts to work. When the sensor temperature is lower than threshold-3℃, the fan is closed. When the difference between the sensor temperature and the threshold is within [-3℃, 3℃], the duty cycle is calculated according to the PID, and the voltage value or current value corresponding to the fan is converted through the drive circuit. When the sensor temperature is greater than threshold+3℃, the fan wind volume is opened to the maximum. The first input signal has the highest priority, and the second input signal has the second priority. When the trigger conditions of the first input signal and the second input signal are met at the same time, the processing logic of the first input signal is executed.

[0164] This content can be understood in combination with Figure 12 , and Figure 12 is a comparison diagram of ordinary control and the control in the present application; in Figure 12 , the upper diagram is a diagram of ordinary control, and the lower diagram is a diagram of the control in the present application.

When the temperature in the tube drops to 94.5℃, the temperature of the radiator is taken as the threshold of the radiator temperature. When the temperature is greater than this temperature, the fan is opened to the maximum to help the radiator dissipate heat quickly.

[0167] The threshold range is related to the volume of the radiator. Generally, the range is within 40-50℃. It can also be obtained through accurate thermodynamic simulation, but it is basically difficult to obtain. Generally, the radiator heat dissipation capacity is adjusted according to experience. This content can be understood in combination with Figure 13 , and Figure 13 is a diagram of the determination of the radiator temperature threshold.

[0168] 4) Temperature control logic (working condition).

[0169] This content can be understood in combination with Figure 14 , and Figure 14 is a diagram of the temperature control logic of the embodiment of the present application.

[0170] In order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiment of the present application, the above content can be understood in combination withFigure 15 and Figure 16 understanding, Figure 15 Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a printed circuit board (PCB) of a control device of PCR in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 16 Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a controller and a processor in the control device of PCR in an embodiment of the present application.
