Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The sample analyzer is a device for processing and analyzing biological samples, and provides reliable data support for relevant workers. If the sample analyzer has a liquid leakage phenomenon, the liquid leakage phenomenon will not only affect the analysis result, but also cause damage to the instrument, so it is very important to check the liquid leakage problem of the sample analyzer in time. At present, pressure detection sensors are usually arranged at some channels with high pressure and easy blockage, and the user is warned when the pressure is abnormal, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing pipe collapse and liquid leakage. However, in some non-sealed occasions such as blood cell counting pool, it is impossible to monitor whether the liquid in the pool is normally discharged through pressure detection, once the liquid in the pool overflows, the instrument will be contaminated, and the overflowed liquid also has the risk of damaging electrical components. The pressure detection sensor cannot adapt to all application occasions and is limited by the application occasion, and it may be necessary to prevent and monitor liquid leakage at multiple positions in the instrument, the use of pressure detection sensor is high in cost, and the pressure detection sensor fails in some occasions with high pH value.

[0031] The utility model provides a kind of liquid leakage detection circuit, comprising: control circuit 10, switching circuit 20, leakage sensor 30, signal conditioning circuit 40 and detection determination circuit 50;The control circuit 10 is connected with the switching circuit 20, the switching circuit 20 is connected with the leakage sensor 30, the leakage sensor 30 is connected with the signal conditioning circuit 40, the signal conditioning circuit 40 is connected with the detection determination circuit 50, the detection determination circuit 50 is connected with the control circuit 10;Wherein, the control circuit 10 is used to control the working state of the switching circuit 20, and transmission excitation signal or driving signal to the switching circuit 20;The switching circuit 20 is used to transmission excitation signal or driving signal to the leakage sensor 30 according to the working state;The signal conditioning circuit 40 is used to process the first output signal generated when the leakage sensor 30 is accessed to the excitation signal, to obtain first detection signal;Or for processing the second output signal generated when the leakage sensor 30 is accessed to the driving signal, to obtain second detection signal;The detection determination circuit 50 is used to output in-place detection result to the control circuit 10 according to the first detection signal;Or for outputting liquid leakage detection result to the control circuit 10 according to the second detection signal.

[0032] In the embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , leakage detection circuit is composed of control circuit 10, switching circuit 20, leakage sensor 30, signal conditioning circuit 40 and detection determination circuit 50, and control circuit 10 will transmission excitation signal or driving signal to switching circuit 20. Wherein, excitation signal is used to detect the in-place condition of leakage sensor 30, and excitation signal is a signal with amplitude, frequency and period variation, including sine wave, cosine wave, square wave, triangular wave and the like. Driving signal is used to detect the liquid leakage condition of instrument, and driving signal is a direct current signal.

[0033] Specifically, control circuit 10 controls the working state of switching circuit 20, and transmission excitation signal or driving signal to switching circuit 20. The working state of switching circuit 20 includes first working state and second working state, and switching circuit 20 transmits excitation signal or driving signal to leakage sensor 30 according to the working state, and excitation signal and driving signal are both transmitted to leakage sensor 30 through switching circuit 20, so that leakage sensor 30 does not need to increase wire respectively to receive excitation signal and driving signal. Referring to Figure 3When the switching circuit 20 is in the first working state, the liquid leakage detection circuit starts the in-place detection function of the liquid leakage sensor 30. The switching circuit 20 transmits the excitation signal to the liquid leakage sensor 30. The liquid leakage sensor 30 inputs the excitation signal and outputs the corresponding first output signal. The signal conditioning circuit 40 processes the first detection signal through signal detection and amplification, and generates the first detection signal. The first detection signal is input into the detection judgment circuit 50. The detection judgment circuit 50 outputs the in-place detection result according to the first detection signal. The in-place detection result is used to indicate whether the liquid leakage sensor 30 is installed in place. Referring to Figure 4 When the switching circuit 20 is in the second working state, the liquid leakage detection circuit starts the liquid leakage detection function. The switching circuit 20 transmits the driving signal to the liquid leakage sensor 30. The liquid leakage sensor 30 inputs the driving signal and outputs the corresponding second output signal. The signal conditioning circuit 40 processes the second detection signal through signal detection and amplification, and generates the second detection signal. The second detection signal is input into the detection judgment circuit 50. The detection judgment circuit 50 outputs the liquid leakage detection result according to the second detection signal. The liquid leakage detection result is used to indicate whether liquid leakage occurs. In addition, the control circuit 10 receives the in-place detection result or the liquid leakage detection result output by the detection judgment circuit 50 to perform corresponding early warning prompts.

[0034] In an embodiment, the detection judgment circuit 50 specifically compares the first detection signal with the corresponding set first target reference value, and then outputs the in-place detection result. Further, if the first detection signal is consistent with the first target reference value, the in-place detection result indicates that the liquid leakage sensor 30 is installed in place. If not, the in-place detection result indicates that the liquid leakage sensor 30 is installed abnormally. In addition, the detection judgment circuit 50 specifically compares the second detection signal with the corresponding set second target reference value, and then outputs the liquid leakage detection result. Further, if the second detection signal is lower than the second target reference value, the liquid leakage detection result indicates that liquid leakage occurs.

[0035] In an embodiment, for a complete liquid leakage detection, after the liquid leakage sensor 30 is installed in the corresponding position, the control circuit 10 first controls the switching circuit 20 to input the excitation signal to the liquid leakage sensor 30 to perform in-place detection of the liquid leakage sensor 30. After the control circuit 10 determines that the liquid leakage sensor 30 is installed in place according to the in-place detection result output by the detection judgment circuit 50, the control circuit 10 controls the switching circuit 20 to input the driving signal to the liquid leakage sensor 30 to perform liquid leakage detection. Preferably, the in-place detection of the liquid leakage sensor 30 does not have to be triggered at all times, but can be triggered at a preset time period (such as a startup, hibernation, maintenance, etc.). After it is determined that the liquid leakage sensor 30 is installed in place, frequent detection of liquid leakage is required to ensure that liquid leakage is discovered in time, and to avoid the timing conflict between the in-place detection and the liquid leakage detection of the liquid leakage sensor 30.

[0036] The liquid leakage detection circuit provided by the utility model switches transmission of excitation signal or driving signal to the liquid leakage sensor 30 through the switching circuit 20, and combines the signal conditioning circuit 40 and the detection judgment circuit 50 to process the output signal of the liquid leakage sensor 30, so that the in-place detection and the liquid leakage detection function of the liquid leakage sensor 30 can be realized without increasing the wire or auxiliary components, the cost can be reduced, the artificial inspection omission can be avoided, and the sensor reliability can be improved. Moreover, when the liquid leakage detection is carried out, the driving signal is applied to the liquid leakage sensor 30 through the switching circuit 20, the energy of the driving signal is low, and the electrochemical corrosion of the liquid leakage sensor 30 under the liquid leakage condition can be greatly reduced.

Referring to Figure 3 , when the switch controller 102 controls the first switch 201 to be opened and the second switch 202 to be closed, the common end of the first switch 201 is connected with the first contact end of the first switch 201 at this time, the common end of the second switch 202 is connected with the second contact end of the second switch 202, the switching circuit 20 is in the first working state, the excitation signal is input into the liquid leakage sensor 30, and whether the liquid leakage sensor 30 is installed in place is detected.
