[0037] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0038] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a power management system, which is mainly used to provide power to the electrical components of the gene sequencing library preparation instrument and to perform stable control.
[0040] Among them, the gene sequencing library preparation instrument completes various reactions, purification, and dilution of reagents and samples through processes such as pipetting, mixing, refrigeration, incubation, PCR amplification, oscillation, and magnetic adsorption, as well as combinations of these processes, designed according to a specific procedure. This allows the DNA in the sample to be ligated to the corresponding library adapters as required, thus completing library construction and preparing for subsequent NGS sequencing.
[0041] Specifically, the aforementioned power management system includes a cabinet 1, a power supply system 2, a multi-channel temperature controller 3, and a PCR system power controller 4. The power supply system 2 is located within the cabinet 1 and at least two of them are provided. Each power supply system 2 includes a power input interface 21 and at least one power output interface 25. The rated operating voltages of the power output interfaces 25 of the two power supply systems 2 are the same, but their rated operating currents are different. The power input interface 21 is used to connect to an external power source. The multi-channel temperature controller 3 is located within the cabinet 1 and connected to the power output interface 25 of one of the power supply systems 2. The multi-channel temperature controller 3 has multiple first output interfaces. The PCR system power controller 4 is located within the cabinet 1 and connected to the power output interface 25 of the other power supply system 2. The PCR system power controller 4 has multiple second output interfaces.
[0042] Understandably, the power management system integrates the power supply system 2, the multi-channel temperature controller 3, and the PCR system power controller 4 within the cabinet 1. The power supply system 2 supplies power to the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the PCR system power controller 4, and supplies power to the electrical components of the power-consuming equipment, such as the gene sequencing library preparation instrument, through the power output interface 25, the multi-channel temperature controller 3, and the PCR system power controller 4. This integrated design makes the power management system compact, facilitates the management of each controller and interface, and is easy to operate.
[0043] Among them, the PCR system power controller 4 is used to control the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) system. Polymerase chain reaction is a molecular biology technique used to amplify specific deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragments. The PCR system (or instrument) is an extremely important tool in molecular biology research and is used in a variety of experimental applications, such as molecular cloning, gene expression analysis, genotyping, sequencing, and mutation.
[0044] It should be noted that at least one power controller 4 and at least one multi-channel temperature controller 3 can be configured in the aforementioned PCR system. For example, refer to... Figure 1 The PCR system described above has two power controllers 4, while the multi-channel temperature controller 3 has one.
[0045] The power output interface 25 can be configured as a power strip with multiple connectors to facilitate electrical connection with the plugs of electrical components. The first output interface of the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the second output interface of the PCR system power controller 4 can be configured to use connectors of the same type as those of the gene sequencing library preparation instrument, such as P5 / P7, Index sequence, Rd1 SP (Read 1 Start Primer), and Rd2 SP (Read 2 Start Primer).
[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The aforementioned cabinet 1 includes a base plate 11, a support member 12 mounted on the base plate 11, a PCR system power controller 4 mounted on the base plate 11, and a multi-channel temperature controller 3 mounted on the support member 12 and located above the PCR system power controller 4.
[0047] The aforementioned support member 12 includes multiple support columns 121 and a support plate 122. The support columns 121 are mounted on the base plate 11, while the support plate 122 is supported by the multiple support columns 121. In this way, the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the PCR system power controller 4 are separated by the support plate 122, thereby facilitating heat dissipation for both and preventing the heat generated by the two from affecting each other.
[0048] The aforementioned PCR system power controller 4 is supported by multiple support columns mounted on the base plate 11, thus suspending the PCR system power controller 4 and facilitating heat dissipation. When multiple PCR system power controllers 4 are provided, they are stacked vertically, separated by support columns, further facilitating heat dissipation for each controller. Furthermore, the PCR system power controller 4 can also be fixed to the support columns 121 with fasteners, improving its stability. These fasteners can be bolts, or a combination of bolts and nuts.
[0049] The multi-channel temperature controller 3 is suspended and supported on the carrier plate 12 by a column. This creates a gap between the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the carrier plate 122, facilitating heat dissipation of the multi-channel temperature controller 3. Specifically, the column is connected to the carrier plate 122, thereby providing support for the multi-channel temperature controller 3.
[0050] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The aforementioned cabinet 1 also includes an outer shell 15, which is connected to the base plate 11 and together with the base plate 11 forms a housing space for accommodating the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the PCR system power controller 4. Multiple ventilation openings 151 are provided on the outer shell 15.
[0051] Understandably, the housing 15 is positioned so that both the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the PCR system power controller 4 are located inside the housing 15, thus providing protection for them. Ventilation openings 151 are provided on the housing to facilitate heat dissipation for the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the PCR system power controller 4.
[0052] The multi-channel temperature controller 3 includes a display panel 31. The housing 15 has a display window 153 corresponding to the display panel 31, through which the display panel 31 is exposed for user observation. Furthermore, the housing 15 has a transport slot (not shown) for inserting fingers, facilitating the transport of the power management system. The transport slot can be formed directly on the housing 15 or by mounting a structure with its own groove onto the housing 15.
[0053] It should be noted that the aforementioned outer shell 15 is composed of multiple connected plates, such as the lower enclosure 15a, the front enclosure 15b, the top enclosure 15c, and the rear enclosure 15d.
[0054] The lower enclosure 15a includes a front panel, a top panel, and two spaced-apart side panels. The front panel is located between the two side panels, and the top panel is also located between the two side panels. The top panel 15c and the rear enclosure 15d are both connected to the two side panels, and the front enclosure 15b is connected to the top panel and the two side panels. The side panels are L-shaped, and the front panel and the top panel form a preset angle, thus making the outer shell 15 a stepped outer shell 15. This creates two spaces inside the outer shell 15, one larger at the top and one smaller at the bottom. The multi-channel temperature controller 3 is located in the upper space, while the PCR system power controller 4 is located in the lower space. This is because the length of the PCR system power controller 4 is greater than the length of the multi-channel temperature controller 3, which reduces the overall space occupied by the power management system.
[0055] Ventilation openings 151 are provided on the aforementioned front panel, front bulkhead 15b, and rear bulkhead 15d. The aforementioned display window 153 is provided on the aforementioned front bulkhead 15b, and a transport slot is provided on the side panel.
[0056] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The cabinet 1 also includes a mounting component 13, which is connected to the base plate 11 and the outer shell 15. The mounting component 13 divides the accommodating space into a first space and a second space. The multi-channel temperature controller and the PCR system power controller are both located in the first space. The mounting component 13 has clearance openings 131 for both the first output interface and the second output interface.
[0057] Understandably, the space on both sides is separated by the mounting piece 13. One side is used to arrange the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the PCR system power controller 4, while the other side can accommodate the wiring harness connecting the multi-channel temperature controller 3, the PCR system power controller 4, and the power output interface 25. This avoids the wiring harness passing through the space where the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the PCR system power controller 4 are located, making it simple and neat.
[0058] Furthermore, the aforementioned housing 15 also has a wiring window 152 for the wire harness to pass through. The wiring window 152 connects to the second space so that the wire harness connecting the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the PCR system power controller 4 can exit through the wiring window 152. In addition, the mounting component 13 provides a mounting position for the power output interface 25 of the power supply system 2, facilitating the arrangement of the power output interface 25.
[0059] It should be noted that the portion of the outer casing 15 with the wiring window 152 is detachable. This portion can be removed to plug and unplug the connection harnesses of the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the PCR system power controller 4. Alternatively, the outer casing 15 can be connected and fixed to the base plate 11 after the connection harnesses of the multi-channel temperature controller 3 and the PCR system power controller 4 have been stably plugged in. This eliminates the need to plug and unplug the connection harnesses during subsequent use, simplifying subsequent operations.
[0060] The rear panel 15d of the housing 15 is provided with the aforementioned wiring window 152, and the rear panel 15d is detachable.
[0061] Furthermore, the aforementioned cabinet 1 also includes a connector 14, which is connected to the base plate 11, and the power input interface 21 of the power supply system 2 is disposed on the connector 14. The connector 14 is located within the second space.
[0062] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The power supply system 2 includes a filter 22, a circuit breaker 23 and a control switch 24 connected in sequence. The filter 22 is electrically connected to the power input interface 21, and the control switch 24 is electrically connected to the power output interface 25. The control switch 24 is exposed from the outer shell 15 of the cabinet 1 to control the on / off of the power supply system 2.
[0063] Understandably, the power supply system 2, by setting up filter 22, can effectively eliminate frequencies other than the required frequency point, ensuring effective suppression of interference from external power sources. The circuit breaker 23 (residual current circuit breaker) can protect the line from overload or short circuit. The control switch 24 can disconnect or connect the power supply system 2, and since the control switch 24 is exposed outside the enclosure 15 of the cabinet 1, it is convenient for users to operate.
[0064] The filter 22, circuit breaker 23 and control switch 24 are located in the first space, so that the power supply system 2, multi-channel temperature controller 3 and PCR system power controller 4 are located in the same space. This also allows the wiring harness between the filter 22, circuit breaker 23 and control switch 24 to be located in the same space, which facilitates the arrangement of the wiring harness and helps to shorten the length of the connecting wiring harness and reduce costs.
[0065] Specifically, the filter 22 is mounted on the carrier 12. The filter 22 is located on one side of the multi-channel temperature controller 3 in the first direction. It should be noted that in the first direction, the width of the multi-channel temperature controller 3 is smaller than the width of the PCR system power controller 4. Therefore, arranging the filter 22 and the multi-channel temperature controller 3 side-by-side in the first direction improves space utilization.
[0066] The circuit breaker 23 is mounted on the mounting bracket 13, and the circuit breaker 23 and the filter 22 are located on the same side of the multi-channel temperature controller 3 in the first direction. In this way, the space on one side of the multi-channel temperature controller 3 can also be utilized to improve the space utilization rate.
[0067] The aforementioned power output interface 25 is mounted on the carrier 12 or the mounting component 13. The control switch 24 is mounted on the outer shell 15 of the cabinet 1 and is exposed on the outer shell 15. At this time, the outer shell 15 is provided with a switch window corresponding to the control switch 24.
[0068] For example, the rated operating voltage of the power output interface 25 of the two power supply systems 2 is 220V, and the rated operating current of the power output interface 25 of the two power supply systems 2 is 10A and 16A respectively. The power output interface 25 with a rated operating current of 10A is electrically connected to the multi-channel temperature controller 3, and the power output interface 25 with a rated operating current of 16A is electrically connected to the PCR system power controller 4.
[0069] For ease of description, the power output interface 25 with a rated operating current of 10A is defined as the first power output interface 25a, and the power output interface 25 with a rated operating current of 16A is defined as the second power output interface 25b. The first power output interface 25a is mounted on the mounting component 13, while the second power output interface 25b is mounted on the carrier component 12. Of course, the mounting positions of the first power output interface 25a and the second power output interface 25b can be interchanged.
[0070] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
[0071] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application.
