Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pathogen detection technology, and in particular to a closed pathogen detection cartridge. Background Technology

[0002] Pathogen detection is the process of identifying the specific microorganism causing the infection through various laboratory testing methods. Pathogens include a variety of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and spirochetes. After these pathogens invade the human body through various routes, they can infect different organs, leading to disease. Detecting the nucleic acid of pathogens using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), nucleic acid probe hybridization technology, and real-time quantitative PCR technology is a crucial step in confirming the diagnosis in microbiological testing.

[0003] For example, patent application number 201611012226.9 published on the China Patent Network, entitled "A Closed Pathogen Detection Kit," includes an outer ring layer and an inner ring layer. The inner ring layer is fitted inside the outer ring layer, and a heat insulation layer is provided between the outer and inner ring layers. The heat insulation layer is filled with heat insulation cotton material. The bottom of the outer ring layer is fixed to a shock-absorbing pad. A temperature sensor is provided on one side of the inner wall of the inner ring layer, adjacent to a reagent tank. The reagent tank is located on a base and corresponds to a sampling device. The sampling device is movably connected to a slide rail, which is located on the top of the outer ring layer. A roller is connected to one side of the sampling device, and a knob is provided on the side wall of the outer ring layer, which is associated with the reagent tank. This invention features fast detection speed, good sealing, and can simultaneously detect multiple samples without cross-infection, effectively avoiding contamination by pathogenic microorganisms and operator infection.

The spring plate 13 can support the pressure plate 11. Guide rods 14 are fixedly connected to both ends of the right side of the outer shell 1. A sleeve block 15 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 14. An extension plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the sleeve block 15. The side of the extension plate 16 away from the sleeve block 15 extends to the top of the outer shell 1 and is fixedly connected to the liquid dispensing plates 17 located on both sides of the liquid dispenser 5. There are two liquid dispensing plates 17, which are symmetrical to each other. The inner side of the liquid dispensing plate 17... The side is set to be inclined inward. During the horizontal movement of the liquid dispensing plate 17, the inclined surface can squeeze the liquid dispenser 5.

The surface of the screw 6 is sleeved with a compression spring 20 located on the right side of the sleeve block 15. The side of the compression spring 20 away from the sleeve block 15 contacts the surface of the support plate 19.

[0042] Specifically, when this closed pathogen detection cartridge is in operation / use: First, the entire cartridge consists of an outer shell 1, inside which is a support plate 3. The carrier 2 to be tested is placed on the support plate 3. Multiple liquid dispensers 5 are installed on the top of the outer shell 1 for storing and releasing reagents. The cartridge is designed with a transmission structure 4 inside, the core of which is a screw 6 that is movably connected to the inside of the outer shell 1 via a bearing. A transmission block 7 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 3. This transmission block 7 is sleeved on the screw 6 and threadedly connected to the screw 6. Therefore, when the screw 6 rotates, the transmission block 7 will move along the length of the screw 6, thereby driving the support plate 3 and the carrier 2 on it to move horizontally. The screw 6 is driven by a torsion block 8 fixed to the left end of the outer casing 1, which is manually rotated by the user. The left side of the outer casing 1 is designed to be hollow, with cover plates 9 at both ends, which are hinged to the outer casing 1 to maintain the airtightness of the outer casing 1 and facilitate the user to open the cover plates 9 to take out or put in the carrier 2. On both sides of the carrier plate 3, there are connecting blocks 10 fixed, and pressure plates 11 are movably connected to these connecting blocks 10 by pins. One side of the pressure plate 11 contacts the top of the carrier 2 to keep it stable during the movement of the carrier 2. The inner walls of the outer casing 1 are equipped with compression frames 12 on both sides, and the left side is designed to be inclined upwards. When the carrier plate 3 moves with the pressure plate 11, The pressure plate 11 gradually contacts the smallest inclined surface of the extrusion frame 12 and swings downward under its action, further stabilizing the carrier 2. When the carrier 2 is placed on the surface of the support plate 3, the torsion block 8 on the left side of the rotating screw 6 drives the screw 6 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 6 causes the support plate 3 and the carrier 2 on it to move horizontally. During the movement of the carrier 2, the pressure plate 11 maintains the stability of the carrier 2 under the action of the extrusion frame 12. At the same time, the rotation of the screw 6 also drives the push plate 18 to move. After the push plate 18 contacts the sleeve block 15, it pushes the sleeve block 15 and the liquid-collecting plate 17 on it to move horizontally. During the movement, the inclined surface of the liquid-collecting plate 17 squeezes the liquid collector. The liquid dispenser 5 at the bottom releases reagent onto the surface of the carrier 2. When the carrier 2 moves to the position of the next liquid dispenser 5, the push plate 18 continues to move, pushing the liquid dispensing plate 17 to squeeze the liquid dispenser 5 again and release the next reagent. This process is repeated until all the reagents are dripped onto the surface of the carrier 2 in sequence. After the reagents react with the carrier 2, the user can detect the presence of pathogens by observing the changes in the carrier 2. After the test is completed, the user can manually rotate the torsion block 8 of the screw 6 to return the push plate 18 to the initial position under the action of the compression spring 20, in preparation for the next test. At the same time, the cover plate 9 can be opened to remove the carrier 2 for further analysis or processing.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
