However, the groove positioning method requires multiple grooves to be opened on the table top, which is costly. Moreover, the size of the groove needs to be compatible with the size of the module, and the capacity of the table top is limited, so too many grooves cannot be opened on the table top, resulting in poor expandability of the table top adjustment. Therefore, we propose an expandable table top of large pipette workstation to effectively solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6The application discloses a scalable table top of a large pipetting workstation, which comprises a workbench 1, liquid storage tanks, waste collection boxes and other modules are arranged on the workbench 1. A plurality of workstations 2 are arranged on the table top of the workbench 1, different modules are arranged on the required workstations 2, the table top layout can be adjusted to adapt to different experimental requirements. Positioning plates 3 are arranged on the workstations 2, and the modules can be arranged on the positioning plates 3. A plurality of positioning pins 4 for positioning the positioning plates 3 are fixed on the workstations 2. The positions of the modules can be adjusted by cooperation of the positioning plates 3 and the positioning pins 4, so that the table top layout can be flexibly changed according to actual requirements, the scalability and adaptability are enhanced, and the manufacturing cost is relatively low. Meanwhile, the pin positioning mode can be used to arrange a large number of positioning pins 4 on the table top, the number of the corresponding workstations 2 is increased, the degree of freedom of the table top adjustment is greatly improved, the table top layout is more flexible, and the table top layout can meet the requirements of various complex and changeable scenes.

[0022] If the traditional groove positioning mode is used, because the areas occupied by the modules are different, a plurality of grooves with different sizes need to be formed on the table top, the modules can only be installed into the grooves with appropriate sizes, and the modules cannot be installed at any position of the table top, and the flexibility is poor.

[0023] Compared with the traditional groove positioning mode, the pin positioning mode is used in the application, and the flexibility is better. For example, when a module (a suction head box, a micro-hole plate, a temperature control module, a PCR module and the like) only needs to occupy one workstation 2, the module is fixed on a positioning plate 3, the two positioning pins 4 on the workstation 2 are used to position the positioning plate 3, and then the module can be arranged on any workstation. When a module (a whole test tube rack, a pull-out liquid storage tank and the like) needs to occupy a plurality of workstations 2, a mounting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the module, and then a hole position corresponding to the positioning pin 4 on each workstation 2 is formed in the mounting plate, so that the module can be installed at any position of the table top. Therefore, the modules with different areas can be installed at any position of the table top, and the degree of freedom is high.

[0024] In the embodiment, the number of the positioning pins 4 on each workstation 2 is two, and a positioning hole 5 corresponding to the two positioning pins 4 is formed in each positioning plate 3. The two positioning pins 4 and the two positioning holes 5 are used to position the positioning plate 3, so that the positioning plate 3 cannot rotate.

[0025] If consumables (micro-hole plates, suction head boxes and the like) are arranged on the positioning plates 3, because the heights of the consumables are different, in order to facilitate the robot to take and place different consumables, the following design is made.

[0026] The top of the positioning plate 3 is fixed with a riser 6, and the top of the riser 6 is provided with a consumable storage module. The riser 6 is composed of a plurality of supporting rods, and different specifications of supporting rods can be used, that is, the height of the consumable can be adjusted to meet different experimental requirements.

[0027] If the module placed on the positioning plate 3 is a module capable of achieving a specific function (a temperature control module, a PCR module, a magnetic frame module, a heating, mixing and oscillation module, etc.), in order to control each module, the following design is made:

[0028] The top of the positioning plate 3 is provided with a functional module 7, and the workbench 1 is provided with a functional interface 8 connected with the functional module 7. The functional interface 8 cooperates with the functional module 7 to control the power supply and communication of the functional module 7, so that the functional module 7 can work according to the experimental requirements.

[0029] When the functional module 7 works, it will generate a certain amount of heat. In order to facilitate the heat dissipation of the functional module 7, the following design is made:

[0030] The positioning plate 3 is provided with a heat dissipation opening 9 adapted to the functional module 7, and the work station 2 is fixed with a mesh plate 10 adapted to the heat dissipation opening 9. Through the cooperation of the heat dissipation opening 9 and the mesh plate 10, the heat generated by the functional module 7 during work can be dissipated in time.

[0031] Further, the bottom of the workbench 1 is fixed with a ventilation box 11 adapted to the mesh plate 10, and a plurality of ventilation holes are uniformly distributed at the bottom of the ventilation box 11. When the functional module 7 works, the heat generated by it can be sequentially dissipated through the heat dissipation opening 9, the mesh plate 10, the ventilation box 11 and the ventilation holes. The ventilation box 11 is provided with filter cotton to prevent external pollutants from entering the station and ensure the clean environment inside the work station.

[0032] It should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as first and second and the like can only be used to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action, without necessarily requiring or implying that there is any such actual relationship or order between these entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, so that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements does not include only those elements, but can also include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without more limitations, an element defined by the statement "comprising a" does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus including the element.
