Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides an analyzer housing, including: a frame, and a main base plate 21, a rear housing 17 and a front panel 11 fastened to different surfaces of the frame. The main base plate 21 and the rear housing 17 are slidably connected, and the rear housing 17 is tenon-and-mortise fixed to the front panel 11. After the main base plate 21, the rear housing 17 and the front panel 11 are fastened together, they form an accommodating chamber within the frame, which is used to integrate multiple functional modules.

[0029] The frame, as the main supporting structure of the analyzer housing, can be made of aluminum alloy profiles, which enables the frame to be lightweight and has good thermal conductivity and stability, which helps to dissipate heat internally and support the entire analyzer.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the frame of this application forms a trapezoidal structure, and the frame includes multiple interconnected support rods. Specifically, it includes several transverse support rods 19, longitudinal support rods 22, and diagonal support rods.

[0031] The main base plate 21, the rear housing 17, and the front panel 11 are fastened to the frame to form an overall enclosed analyzer housing.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, the rear housing 17 includes a first housing plate 30 and a second housing plate 33 disposed opposite to each other, and also includes a third housing plate 31 disposed opposite to the main bottom plate 21 and a fourth housing plate 32 disposed opposite to the front panel 11.

[0033] Both the first shell plate 30 and the second shell plate 33 are provided with a first connector 23, and the first connector 23 is provided with a groove. The two ends of the main bottom plate 21 are respectively provided with a second connector 24, and the second connector 24 is provided with a protrusion. Through the cooperation of the groove and the protrusion, the main bottom plate 21 is slidably connected between the first shell plate 30 and the second shell plate 33, and the main bottom plate 21 is connected to the rear shell 17 by sliding and pushing.

[0034] The first shell plate 30, the second shell plate 33 and the third shell plate 31 are integrally set to form a U-shaped structure, which reduces assembly steps and enhances the overall structural strength.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 7As shown, the inner sides of the first shell plate 30 and the second shell plate 33 of the rear shell 17 are respectively provided with first connecting members 23 with L-shaped cross sections. The grooves are provided on the first connecting members 23, which can cooperate with the protrusions on the second connecting members 24 with L-shaped cross sections on both sides of the bottom of the main base plate 21. By sliding and pushing in, the first connecting members 23 and the second connecting members 24 on both sides are simultaneously engaged, so that the rear shell 17 can be pushed from back to front to the front panel 11 and engaged with the front panel 11. At the same time, the first connecting member 23 is restricted in the accommodating cavity formed by the second connecting member 24 and the main base plate 21, and its movement in the up, down, left and right directions is restricted, so as to achieve a tight and stable connection between the rear shell 17 and the main base plate 21.

[0036] The rear housing 17 is slidably pushed into the lower part of the main base plate 21 by the concealed first connector 23 and second connector 24, which also serves as a limiting element. The structure is simple, easy to operate, and the connection is firm and tight.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the rear housing 17 is also provided with a heat dissipation vent 26, which is specifically located on the fourth housing plate 32. The heat dissipation vent 26 has a hollow structure to ensure heat dissipation during equipment operation.

[0038] In addition, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the front panel 11 is provided with a tenon and mortise groove 28, and the rear housing 17 is provided with a tenon and mortise protrusion 29 that matches the tenon and mortise groove 28, so that the front panel 11 and the rear housing 17 can be engaged.

[0039] The front panel 11 has a tenon and mortise groove 28 with a tenon and mortise structure, which can be engaged and fixed with the tenon and mortise protrusion 29 of the rear housing 17, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​connection between the front panel 11 and the rear housing 17. The tenon and mortise groove 28 is located on the inner periphery of the front panel 11 and is integrally formed with the front panel 11, and is used to snap-fit ​​the rear housing 17.

[0040] The tenon and mortise grooves 28 on the inner perimeter of the front panel 11 ensure a tight fit between the front and rear housings 17, preventing gaps from exposing the internal structure of the instrument and also preventing dust from entering the instrument.

[0041] Refer to Figure 1 The front panel 11 has several functional ports, including a display screen 12, indicator lights 18, a tablet compartment port 13, a sample inlet 16, a barcode scanner 15, a drawer 14, a consumables port, a waste tablet port, and a waste tube port. The ports are precision injection molded according to their positions and dimensions.

[0042] A receiving groove is formed on the support rod for fixing the front panel 11, and the display screen 12 is inserted into the receiving groove to fix the display screen 12 to the front panel 11.

[0043] Three horizontal support rods 19 are fixed on the inner side of the front panel 11. Among them, the upper inner side of the front panel 11 is fixed with a first horizontal support rod 19a parallel to the analyzer ground. The receiving slot is set in the first horizontal support rod 19a. The receiving slot and the inner side of the front panel 11 form a space that can accommodate the display screen 12 for fixing and placing the display screen 12.

[0044] The front panel 11 is fixedly connected to the first diagonal support rod 20a in the frame structure by a detachable fastener 27.

[0045] Both the front panel 11 and the rear housing 17 are removable for easy maintenance and replacement. The front panel 11 and the rear housing 17 can be made of high-strength, lightweight engineering plastics with good chemical resistance (such as ABS) to ensure sufficient mechanical strength and durability.

[0046] Also refer to Figure 3 The bottom of the main base plate 21 is also provided with several support feet 25. For example, six support feet 25 are provided to improve the convenience of moving the analyzer on the desktop while maintaining the stability of the machine body.

[0047] The main base plate 21 and the rear housing 17 are slidably connected, and the rear housing 17 is tenon-and-mortise fixed to the front panel 11, making disassembly and assembly convenient. Compared with the prior art that uses screw connections, which results in exposed screws, the sliding connection between the main base plate 21 and the rear housing 17, as well as the tenon-and-mortise fixing between the rear housing 17 and the front panel 11 in this application, can achieve a concealed connection method. The final fixation is completed only by the screws on the rear housing 17. In this way, not only is it easy to align the housings, but also, except for the fourth housing plate 32 on the back, there are no exposed screws on the other housing plates, as well as the main base plate 21 and the front panel 11, making the overall design more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing. It also facilitates quick maintenance of the instrument's internal components by maintenance personnel.

[0048] After the main base plate 21, the rear housing 17 and the front panel 11 are fastened together, a receiving chamber for integrating functional modules can be formed within the frame, and various functions of the analyzer can be realized through the functional modules.

[0049] For example, the functional modules may include a display module, a sample injection module, a slide compartment module, a puncture module, a mixing module, a liquid path module, an incubation module, and a detection module, etc. These modules are all fixed on the frame, which facilitates overall maintenance and upgrades.

[0050] The assembly process of the analyzer housing provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0051] First, fix the second connecting parts 24, several longitudinal support rods 22, transverse support rods 19, and diagonal support rods on both sides of the main base plate 21 onto the main base plate 21;

[0052] Next, the front panel 11 is fixedly connected to the first inclined support rod 20a and other related frame structures by detachable fasteners 27, and then the assembled front panel 11 assembly is fixed to the rear frame.

[0053] Then, each functional module is fixed to the frame structure according to the functional requirements and interconnected with each other through cables, pipes, etc. (not shown in the figure);

[0054] Then, the first connecting pieces 23 on both sides of the main base plate 21 are fixed to the inner sides of the first shell plate 30 and the second shell plate 33 respectively. The first connecting pieces 23 and the second connecting pieces 24 are snapped together by sliding and pushing in. The rear shell plate is pushed to the front panel 11 and fixed by the mortise and tenon structure (mortise and tenon groove 28 and mortise and tenon protrusion 29). The assembler can easily fit the rear shell 17 tightly with the front panel 11 without gaps that expose the internal structure of the instrument, while preventing dust from entering the instrument.

[0055] Finally, the rear housing 17 is fixedly connected to the fourth shell plate 32 on the back of the frame structure by the detachable fasteners 27, thus completing the final assembly of the outer shell.

[0056] The disassembly procedure for the analyzer housing is as follows:

[0057] First, remove the removable fastener 27 on the rear housing 17 and push the rear housing 17 backward to remove it;

[0058] Then, remove the removable fasteners 27 from the front panel 11 assembly and remove the front panel 11, allowing maintenance personnel to directly access the internal functional modules, which greatly facilitates maintenance and repair work.

[0059] In summary, the analyzer housing provided in this application addresses the inconveniences and design shortcomings of existing analyzers during assembly and disassembly. By introducing concealed connectors combined with partial screw fixation, the assembly and disassembly process of the analyzer is simplified, and the product appearance is optimized. The simple structure and the use of concealed connectors combined with partial screw fixation between housings allow for quick assembly and disassembly of the analyzer housing. While ensuring functionality, this approach comprehensively improves assembly ease, aesthetics, and maintenance convenience.

[0060] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
