Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nucleic acid extraction technology, and in particular to a rapid nucleic acid extraction device. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of biomedical research and clinical diagnostics, nucleic acid extraction is a crucial step that directly affects the accuracy and reliability of subsequent analytical results. Traditional nucleic acid extraction methods typically involve tedious manual operations, such as sample grinding, centrifugation, and solution transfer. These operations are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also susceptible to contamination, affecting extraction efficiency and purity.
[0003] With advancements in technology, automated and semi-automated nucleic acid extraction devices have emerged, aiming to simplify procedures and improve extraction efficiency and purity. However, existing nucleic acid extraction devices on the market still present some challenges. For example, while some devices achieve automated operation, they are structurally complex, have high maintenance costs, and are not suitable for all types of samples. Furthermore, some devices lack precise liquid level control during extraction, which can easily lead to sample loss or contamination. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0024] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals.
[0025] This embodiment provides a rapid nucleic acid extraction device, mainly composed of a shell 1, a drive assembly 2, a guide assembly 3, an extraction assembly 4, and additional scales and handles. The shell 1 serves as the main support structure of the entire device, and its outer shell is made of transparent material, allowing users to visually observe the internal operating status. The outer surface of the shell 1 is also equipped with scales for precise control of the liquid volume during operation. Furthermore, handles 5 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the shell 1 for easy handling and carrying.
[0026] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 2 is fixedly disposed above the housing 1. Specifically, the drive assembly 2 includes a drive motor 201, which is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the housing 1, and a drive threaded rod 202 is fixedly connected to its output end. The end of the drive threaded rod 202 away from the output end of the drive motor 201 is disposed at the bottom of the interior of the housing 1 through a rotatable connection structure such as a bearing, ensuring that the drive threaded rod 202 can rotate smoothly.
[0027] A lead screw and nut assembly 203 is threadedly connected to the drive threaded rod 202. As the drive threaded rod 202 rotates, the lead screw and nut assembly 203 moves linearly along the thread direction. A sealing block 204 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lead screw and nut assembly 203. This sealing block 204 is used to ensure a tight seal with the interior of the housing 1 during movement, preventing liquid leakage. It is worth noting that the drive motor 201 is a reversible motor, which means that it can change the direction of rotation as needed, thereby driving the lead screw and nut assembly 203 and the sealing block 204 to reciprocate.
[0028] In this embodiment, to ensure the stability and straightness of the lead screw nut assembly 203 and the sealing block 204 during movement, a guide assembly 3 is also designed. The guide assembly 3 includes two guide through holes 301 and 302 located on the upper surface of the housing 1; their positions may be adjusted according to actual needs. Two guide rods 303 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the sealing block 204. One end of each guide rod 303 is fixedly connected to the sealing block 204, while the other end passes through the guide through holes 301 and 302 respectively, and a guide limiting plate 304 is fixedly provided externally. The guide limiting plate 304 not only restricts the axial movement range of the guide rods 303 but also, through its cooperation with the guide through holes, effectively prevents the sealing block 204 from deflecting or shaking during movement.
[0029] In this embodiment, the extraction component 4 includes two extraction tubes 401 and 402 symmetrically arranged below the housing 1. These two extraction tubes are respectively connected to two different positions inside the device.
[0030] A liquid level sensor 403 is also fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. This liquid level sensor 403 is preferably a capacitive liquid level sensor. Capacitive liquid level sensors have advantages such as high sensitivity and fast response speed, enabling them to monitor the liquid level changes inside the housing 1 in real time and feed the signal back to the control system. Although the control system is not described in detail in this embodiment, it is essential for achieving automated control and monitoring. Based on the feedback signal from the liquid level sensor, the control system can precisely control the start, stop, and direction of the drive component 2, thereby achieving precise control of the nucleic acid extraction process.
[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model patent and are not intended to limit this utility model patent. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model patent should be included within the protection scope of this utility model patent.
