The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0021] This utility model provides a reagent mixing processor for immunoassay, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the reagent mixing processor for immunoassay includes: a placement seat 2 disposed within a mounting shell 1, and a mixing mechanism for rotating the placement seat 2 to mix the reagents on both the mounting shell 1 and the placement seat 2; multiple placement slots 3 on the placement seat 2 for placing test tubes containing reagents; a heating plate 4 mounted on the mounting shell 1 for heating the test tubes on the placement seat 2; and a cooling mechanism mounted on the mounting shell 1 for cooling the test tubes on the placement seat 2.

[0022] In this embodiment, a controller is first installed on one side of the device. The controller can control the entire device. The working principle of the controller is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. When performing immunoassay and mixing of reagents is required, the reagents are placed into the corresponding test tubes, and then the test tubes are placed in the placement slot 3. The controller starts the mixing mechanism, which rotates the test tubes on the placement seat 2, thereby mixing the reagents and facilitating immunoassay. At the same time, when some reagents need to be mixed within a certain temperature range, the heating plate 4 is activated when heating is required. The heating plate 4 is equipped with a temperature controller, and the heat is transferred to the placement seat 2 to heat the test tubes. When cooling is required, the controller starts the cooling mechanism to cool the test tubes on the placement seat 2. This allows for precise temperature adjustment according to the type of reagent and mixing requirements. The mounting shell 1 is equipped with a temperature sensor to measure the temperature inside the mounting shell 1. Once the required temperature range is reached, the reagents can be mixed, thus improving the mixing effect.

[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mixing mechanism includes: a servo motor 5 fixedly mounted on the mounting shell 1; and a mounting shaft 6 rotatably mounted on the mounting shell 1, wherein the bottom end of the mounting shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 5, and the top end of the mounting shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement seat 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, when using the mixing mechanism, the servo motor 5 is started by the controller to drive the mounting shaft 6 to rotate, thereby driving the test tube on the placement seat 2 to rotate, so as to mix the reagents and facilitate the immunoassay.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cooling mechanism includes: a placement cavity 7 formed on the mounting shell 1 for placing cooling water; a semiconductor cooling chip 8 disposed on the mounting shell 1 for cooling the cooling water in the placement cavity 7; a water pump 9 fixedly mounted on the mounting shell 1, the inlet end of the water pump 9 being connected to the placement cavity 7; and a connecting pipe 10 fixedly mounted on the mounting shell 1, one end of the connecting pipe 10 being connected to the outlet end of the water pump 9, and the other end of the connecting pipe 10 being connected to the placement cavity 7.

[0026] In this embodiment, when using the cooling mechanism, the controller activates the semiconductor cooling chip 8 to cool the cooling water in the placement chamber 7, and then the water pump 9 is activated, allowing the cooling water to enter the connecting pipe 10. According to the principle of heat exchange, the low-temperature cooling water indirectly removes the heat from the test tubes placed on the placement seat 2, and then flows back into the placement chamber 7. This cycle is repeated, thereby cooling the test tubes placed on the placement seat 2. When the required temperature range is reached, the reagents are then mixed. The temperature can be adjusted according to the reagent mixing requirements, thus improving the mixing effect. At the same time, a temperature sensor is provided on the mounting shell 1 to monitor the temperature of the cooling water in the placement chamber 7, and a cooling fan is provided on one side of the mounting shell 1 to dissipate heat from the semiconductor cooling chip 8.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a threaded groove 11 is provided on the placement seat 2, and a threaded cover 12 is threadedly installed on the threaded groove 11. The threaded cover 12 is used to fix the test tube placed in the placement groove 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, after the test tube is placed in the placement groove 3, the threaded cap 12 is threaded into the threaded groove 11. The threaded cap 12 fixes the test tube in the placement groove 3, which facilitates the rotation and mixing of the reagent in the test tube. At the same time, the threaded cap 12 also makes it easy to fix test tubes of different lengths.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, an annular groove 14 is provided on the mounting shell 1, and a plurality of sliders 13 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the placement seat 2, and the plurality of sliders 13 are slidably connected to the annular groove 14.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the placement seat 2 rotates, it will drive the slider 13 to rotate within the annular groove 14, thereby improving the stability of the placement seat 2 when it rotates.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mounting shell 1 is provided with a stirring mechanism for stirring the cooling water in the placement cavity 7. The stirring mechanism includes: a drive motor 15 fixedly mounted on the mounting shell 1; and a stirring frame 16 rotatably mounted in the placement cavity 7, one end of the stirring frame 16 being fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 15.

[0032] In this embodiment, a semiconductor cooling chip 8 is used to cool the water in the placement cavity 7. The controller starts the drive motor 15 to drive the stirring rack 16 to rotate and stir the water in the placement cavity 7, thereby making the water temperature more uniform.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a cover is provided on the mounting shell 1, and a protective pad is provided at the bottom of the placement groove 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, when mixing the reagents, the cover is closed during the operation, and the bottom of the test tube containing the reagents can be protected by the protective pad.
