Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biochemical detection technology, and in particular to a dual-station reagent storage system. Background Technology
[0002] A reaction analyzer is a chemical experimental device that allows samples and reagents to be added to reaction vessels for reaction. Reagents are a key consumable in the use of chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzers.
[0003] Nowadays, the more commonly used high-speed fully automated chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzers have higher requirements for the types and quantities of reagents. They often require the use of multiple types of reagents, which is difficult to meet with a single reagent tray. Furthermore, the amount of each type of reagent used each time is small, so reagents need to be replaced frequently. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a dual-station reagent storage system.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a dual-station reagent compartment system, including a reagent compartment base, in which two sets of reagent trays are arranged side by side, and the two sets of reagent trays are coaxially connected to the output ends of two sets of rotary drive modules. The reagent compartment base is provided with a scanning module corresponding to the reagent trays. Several first reagent placement slots and second reagent placement slots are arranged in a ring on the reagent trays. The second reagent placement slots are arranged in the inner circle of the first reagent placement slots. A first slot is provided on the outer side of the first reagent placement slots. There is a gap between adjacent first reagent placement slots. The gap communicates with the second reagent placement slot to form a second slot. The width of the first slot is the same as the width of the second slot.
[0006] As can be seen from the above scheme, the two sets of reagent trays facilitate the addition of two reagents. The rotary drive module is used to drive the reagent trays to rotate, thereby realizing the addition of reagents to each reagent bottle. The first slot is used by the scanning module to scan the reagent bottles in the first reagent placement slot, and the second slot is used by the scanning module to scan the reagent bottles in the second reagent placement slot.
[0007] A reagent compartment cover is fitted onto the reagent compartment seat. The reagent compartment cover is equipped with a handle. Each of the two sets of reagent trays has a reagent sampling slot corresponding to the reagent compartment cover. Each reagent sampling slot is fitted with a cover and is arranged in a fan shape. Therefore, the handle facilitates the removal and placement of the reagent compartment cover, the reagent sampling slot is used for reagent sampling when the reagent compartment cover is closed, and the fan-shaped arrangement of the reagent sampling slot facilitates compatibility with both the first and second reagent placement slots.
[0008] The rotary drive module includes a rotary motor, a first rotating wheel disposed at the output end of the rotary motor, and a second rotating wheel connected to the first rotating wheel via a synchronous belt. The reagent tray is coaxially connected to the second rotating wheel, and the diameter of the second rotating wheel is larger than the diameter of the first rotating wheel. Therefore, the rotary motor drives the first rotating wheel to rotate, and the larger diameter of the second rotating wheel is used to reduce speed and achieve rotation.
[0009] The reagent compartment is equipped with a refrigeration module located below the reagent tray. The refrigeration module includes a heat exchange chamber and a refrigeration component. The heat exchange chamber contains a refrigeration compressor, a condenser connected to the compressor, and a cooling fan. The refrigeration component is positioned at the bottom of the reagent tray, and the cooling fan is located outside the condenser. Therefore, the refrigeration module is used to achieve low-temperature storage of the reagents in the reagent tray.
[0010] The scanning module includes a scanning base and a scanner disposed within the scanning base. The scanning base has a mounting slot adapted to the scanner, and a probe port communicating with the mounting slot is provided on the side of the scanning base. The probe port is adapted to the first slot. Therefore, the scanner scans the barcode information of reagent bottles in the first and second slots through the probe port.
[0011] The inner walls on both sides of the second reagent placement slot are equipped with spring clips. Therefore, the spring clips are used to secure and limit the reagent bottles within the second reagent placement slot. Attached Figure Description

[0017] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model is a dual-station reagent storage system, including a reagent storage base 1. Two sets of reagent trays 2 are arranged side by side in the reagent storage base 1. The two sets of reagent trays 2 are coaxially connected to the output ends of two sets of rotary drive modules 3. A scanning module 4 is arranged in the reagent storage base 1 corresponding to the reagent trays 2. Several first reagent placement slots 5 and second reagent placement slots 6 are arranged in a ring on the reagent trays 2. The second reagent placement slots 6 are arranged in the inner circle of the first reagent placement slots 5. A first slot 51 is arranged on the outer side of the first reagent placement slots 5. There is a gap between adjacent first reagent placement slots 5. The gap communicates with the second reagent placement slots 6 to form a second slot 61. The width of the first slot 51 is the same as the width of the second slot 61. Spring pieces 62 are arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the second reagent placement slot 6. In this embodiment, the dual-station reagent compartment is rectangular in shape and has two independently rotating reagent tray shafts, compatible with various sizes of reagent bottles, facilitating seamless integration with the analysis system. The reagent tray 2 has numerical markings on the inner side of the second reagent placement slot 6 that correspond one-to-one with the first reagent placement slot 5 and the second reagent placement slot 6. When the rotation drive module 3 drives the reagent tray 2 to rotate, the scanning module sequentially performs staggered scanning on the reagent bottles in the first slot 51 and the second slot 61, scanning the barcode information on the reagent bottles. By scanning the two sets of barcodes in the reagent compartment, the reagent position for each item can be automatically located, and the expiration date of the reagents can be automatically detected. This utility model can realize the simultaneous addition of two different reagents, and the number of reagent bottles picked up during continuous operation is increased.

The reagent tray 2 is coaxially connected to the second rotating wheel 33, and the diameter of the second rotating wheel 33 is larger than the diameter of the first rotating wheel 32. In this embodiment, both sets of rotary drive modules 3 operate simultaneously. The rotation of the rotary motor 31 drives the reagent tray 2 on the second rotating wheel 33 to rotate. The synchronous rotation of the two sets of reagent trays 2 facilitates the sampling and addition of two different reagents.
[0020] The reagent compartment 1 is provided with a refrigeration module 7 below the reagent tray 2. The refrigeration module 7 includes a heat exchange box 70 and a refrigeration component 71. The heat exchange box 70 is provided with a refrigeration compressor 72, a condenser 73 connected to the refrigeration compressor 72 and a cooling fan 74. The refrigeration component 71 is correspondingly provided at the bottom of the reagent tray 2, and the cooling fan 74 is provided on the outside of the condenser 73.
[0021] The scanning module 4 includes a scanning base 41 and a scanner 42 disposed within the scanning base 41. The scanning base 41 has a mounting groove 411 adapted to the scanner 42, and a probe port 412 communicating with the mounting groove 411 is disposed on the side of the scanning base 41. The probe port 412 is adapted to the first slot 51. In this embodiment, the scanning module 4 is disposed on the extension line of the center line of the two sets of reagent trays 2.
