Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a urine analyzer for laboratory use, specifically a small high-speed urine collection and analysis instrument. Background Technology
[0002] The urine analyzer determines the results based on the color changes produced by the reaction of several specific components in the urine with the test strip. By identifying the color changes in the reaction reagent area, the analyzer calculates and outputs the test results.
[0003] Existing urine analyzers are relatively large, making them inconvenient to carry and use. Currently, optical signal acquisition includes single-channel and multi-channel signal acquisition. Single-channel signal acquisition mainly consists of photoelectric monitoring, conversion circuit, sampling and amplification circuit, and data processing module. Multi-channel signal acquisition, on the other hand, requires the same resources for each signal acquisition, increasing the number of components, size, and cost. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention relates to a small high-speed urine collection and analysis instrument, comprising a reagent compartment structure and a printing structure, wherein the reagent compartment structure and the printing structure are encapsulated between an upper cover 1 and a lower cover 19.
[0027] The reagent compartment structure includes a slide rail base 17, a rack and pinion reagent compartment 15, a reagent strip 20, a receiving plate 5, LED lights, a cover plate 14, and a motor 16. The rack and pinion reagent compartment 15 is mounted on the slide rail base 17 and slides in conjunction with the slide rail base 17. The motor 16 drives the rack and pinion reagent compartment 15 to move, allowing it to slide normally on the slide rail base 17. The reagent strip 20 is placed inside the rack and pinion reagent compartment 15. A light path base 8 is installed at one end of the rack and pinion reagent compartment 15, and a green LED light 6 and a red LED light 7 are installed on the light path base 8. A receiving plate 5 is set above the light path base 8 to receive the light emitted from the reagent strip 20. The other end of the rack and pinion reagent compartment 15 is covered by a cover plate 14 to prevent external light from interfering with the test.
[0028] A rack 151 is provided on one side of the rack reagent compartment 15, and a long groove 152 is provided on the other side of the rack reagent compartment 15 for accommodating reagent strips 20.
[0029] The shaft end of the motor 16 is connected to the gear 161. The motor 16 drives the gear 161 to mesh with the rack 151, thereby driving the rack reagent chamber 15 to move back and forth.
[0030] The slide rail seat 17 has a long track 171 inside, and the bottom of the rack reagent compartment 15 has a groove 153 that matches the long track 171.
[0031] Test strip 20 reacts after coming into full contact with urine, and is used to detect the content of various components in urine.
[0032] The display screen 4 is installed inside the top cover 1, and the display screen 4 is supported by the screen bracket 3.
[0033] The printing structure includes a paper tray cover 2, a printer 10, a paper tray box 12, and a button 13. The paper tray box 12 contains printing paper 11, and the printer 10 is located inside the paper tray box 12 and the paper tray cover 2.
[0034] The main control board 9, button 13 and battery 18 are also installed between the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 19. Button 13 is installed on the upper cover 1, and the lower part of button 13 is aligned with the main control board 9. The main control board 9 and battery 18 are installed inside the lower cover 19.
[0035] Figure 6 As shown, the main control board 9 has a main control chip, which is an STM32F429IGT6.
[0036] The signal is transmitted to the red LED 7 and green LED 6 through the traffic light channel control on the main control chip. A photodiode controls the alternating flashing of the traffic lights to illuminate the reagent strip 20. The alternating flashing of the traffic lights replaces the use of two centralized acquisition circuits, which simplifies the circuit, improves stability, and reduces costs.
[0037] Figure 5 As shown, the main control chip data processing flow is as follows:
[0038] 1. Begin;
[0039] 2. Has data acquisition ended? If no, the I / O output will show a high or low level signal; if yes, data acquisition has ended and the I / O output will be turned off.
[0040] 3. Input the signal to the traffic light control circuit and transmit it to the red LED 7 and the green LED 6;
[0041] 4. The flashing of the traffic lights in the traffic light control circuit is controlled by a photodiode, and the signal is amplified and processed by an amplifier circuit before being sent to a high-speed ADC.
[0042] 5. If the high-speed ADC acquires the voltage signal, the acquisition ends, data analysis and processing are performed, and the data is saved and the process ends; otherwise, feedback is sent to the high-speed ADC.
[0043] Figure 7 The diagram shows the relationship between the amplifier circuit and the high-speed ADC. The amplifier circuit includes a cross-group amplifier and a non-inverting amplifier.
[0044] The cross-group amplifier uses a portion of the LTC728XT14 / R6 to convert the current of D1 into a voltage signal. The weak voltage signal is then amplified by the non-inverting amplifier LTC728XT14 / R6 until it can be stably recognized by the subsequent MCP3221A5T-I / OT. Note that the amplification factor should be adjusted according to the actual value. The signal is then converted into a digital quantity by the high-speed ADC of model MCP3221A5T-I / OT and transmitted to the main control chip STM32 via the IIC communication protocol.
[0045] The photodiode model number is OSD9-IM.
[0046] This invention uses a high-speed acquisition circuit to acquire signals reflected from two light sources, and through data processing and analysis, achieves the same effect as a two-path optical acquisition system, simplifying the circuit design and improving the overall system stability.
[0047] The red / green lights flash alternately. Part of the integrated operational amplifier can be used as a constant current source for the lights, and another part can be used as a voltage amplifier. The red / green lights shine on the reagent strip and reflect the light to the photodiode, which converts it into a weak electrical signal. The subsequent stage amplifies and processes the weak signal and sends it to the STM32 via a high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The STM32 can control the switching on and off of the red / green lights and the switching time, so that a single signal acquisition circuit can be used to acquire and convert both red and green light signals.
[0048] Working principle: The reagent strip contains reactants that react with components in urine, causing a color change. An LED light shines on the reagent strip; because the color change occurs, and the concentration of the analyte in the urine varies, the intensity of the color change and the reflectivity also differ, resulting in varying light intensities. This allows for the sequential determination of the concentration of each component in the urine.
[0049] Verification Summary:
[0050] The performance of the instrument in this invention meets the performance requirements of industry standards.
[0051] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0052] 1. By reducing the size of the reagent compartment, the overall size of the urine analyzer is greatly reduced, making it a compact and portable instrument with an overall size of 178*87*46mm.
[0053] 2. The main control chip controls the red and green lights to flash alternately. The alternating flashing signal is transmitted to the amplification circuit through the photodiode, eliminating the need for a signal amplification and acquisition circuit, reducing the number of components, lowering production costs, and increasing system stability.
