Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to a consumable delivery module.

[0002] This utility model also relates to an automated processing system that includes a consumable delivery module. Background Technology

[0003] By analyzing samples isolated from an individual, such as blood, body fluids, secretions, and ex vivo tissues, the presence or quantity of target substances can be qualitatively or quantitatively determined. This allows for the assessment of an individual's health status. For example, in molecular diagnostics, the presence or quantification of target nucleic acid fragments can help determine exogenous diseases such as bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, and can also provide accurate test results for endogenous diseases or health states with specific base mutations. Other diagnostic methods, such as biochemical diagnostics, use the results of biochemical indicators such as enzymes, sugars, and esters within the organism to determine an individual's health status. Status; Immunodiagnostics uses the binding of antigens and antibodies, and captures the binding products with microplates or magnetic beads, along with photocatalysts, and finally determines the individual status by a luminescence signal measuring instrument. Regardless of the type of detection method, it involves steps such as sample and reaction system preparation, target substance testing, and obtaining results. In order to obtain test results corresponding to samples efficiently and in batches, automated transfer equipment and system design have become the mainstream trend. Among these, the accurate, efficient, and low-pollution transfer of various reaction containers, reagent kits, and various types of consumables is crucial to the successful development of equipment or systems, the expansion of testing items, and market promotion.

[0004] To improve sample rack transportation efficiency, US patent 20210011039A1 sets multiple interaction interfaces for different modules. Therefore, the coordinated design of multiple vertical channels can diversify the sample rack transportation path. This design distinguishes the interaction objects, reducing the risk of contamination during transmission to some extent. However, the design is complex, and completely eliminating contamination is very difficult because it requires separate anti-contamination designs for all interaction ports that may transmit contamination. Invention patent EP3287792B1 discloses a scheme that relies on a modular, assembly-compatible transfer track to perform sample rack transfer, with different functions... The modules rely on the splicing of multiple track units to achieve a flow path that adapts to the shape of the site. This design is more suitable for large-scale, automated products, and the objects being transferred are relatively simple, mainly sample tube racks. The sample tubes in the flow are mostly in a closed state, resulting in a low risk of contamination. Invention patent US11933800B2 discloses a loading and transfer mechanism and control method for pipetting consumables. Pipetting consumables can be loaded directly in whole-plate type through a loading drawer. After the drawer is closed, an opening unit is provided at the top of the drawer. A lifting mechanism similar to a folding fire ladder can be configured to transfer the pipetting consumables in the drawer into the processing module for use. Invention patent EP3916395 To avoid potential impacts on different functional units caused by the transfer of sample tube racks or other types of reagents and consumables, B1 places the transfer module at the rear of the functional unit. It can be configured as an integral unit or a separate unit, optimizing the spatial layout and improving anti-contamination performance. Patent CN112313516A discloses a solution for the transfer and recycling of pipetting consumables with a nearby configuration. It features different operating areas at a vertical height. The lowest area receives and stores new pipetting consumables, while the middle area houses pipettes and allows for pipetting tip pickup. Used consumable racks can be moved upwards... Driven by the principle of centralized recycling in the upper region, this approach requires liquid evacuation before the used pipetting consumables are recycled. Otherwise, this recycling method carries a serious risk of contamination. Currently, the most mature automated detection systems on the market are biochemical or immunodiagnostic. These two types of detection have relatively low contamination risks, and automated detection equipment does not require strict contamination control to meet the requirements of accurate diagnosis. However, for molecular diagnostics or similar diagnostic processes involving rapid enrichment of products, the level of contamination control is very strict, and the potential risk of aerosol contamination will affect the accuracy of the test results.

[0005] Designing a low-pollution risk transmission mechanism is essential, especially for testing equipment that needs to be expanded to detect testing items with high pollution risks. This is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved, and it is also crucial for the promotion of automated testing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems by providing a consumable delivery module and an automated processing system including the consumable delivery module. By configuring a fixed base plate that extends in a specific direction, a movable base plate that can be driven to slide on the fixed base plate, and a receiving plate that is slidably connected to the movable base plate, the movement stroke of the receiving plate is made wider, which is beneficial for its application in limited and compact automated processing systems. Furthermore, the receiving plate is set to be rotatable, which can adapt to the layout characteristics of different operation modules, so as to better meet the conflict scenarios of space constraints and more functions in integrated processing systems.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: A consumable delivery module, the module comprising: A fixed substrate is fixedly configured and extends in a preset direction; The movable substrate is slidably connected to the extending direction of the fixed substrate; An extension transmission mechanism is connected to the movable substrate and is used to drive the movable substrate to move along the extension direction of the fixed substrate. A carrying transmission mechanism is provided at one end of the movable base plate. A receiving disk capable of receiving the consumables being transferred is connected to the carrying transmission mechanism. The carrying transmission mechanism can drive the receiving disk to move along the displacement direction of the movable base plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the extended transmission mechanism includes: A transmission lead screw is arranged parallel to the fixed base plate. One end of the transmission lead screw is connected to the output end of the extension drive motor. A transmission slider is threaded onto the transmission lead screw, and one side of the transmission slider is connected to the movable base plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed base plate is also provided with an extension slide rail, which is disposed on the fixed base plate along the displacement direction of the movable base plate, and the movable base plate is slidably connected to the extension slide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the bearing transmission mechanism includes two spaced-apart bearing transmission wheels, which are sequentially arranged on the moving base plate along the displacement direction of the moving base plate. A bearing transmission belt is sleeved between the two bearing transmission wheels. One side of the bearing transmission belt is connected to the fixed base plate through a first connecting block, and the other side of the bearing transmission belt is connected to the receiving plate through a second connecting block. The second connecting block is slidably connected to the moving base plate along the displacement direction of the moving base plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a bearing slide rail is laid on the movable base plate along its displacement direction, and one side of the second connecting block is slidably connected by a number of sliders that are fitted and connected with the bearing slide rail.

[0012] Furthermore, the receiving disk and the second connecting block are also bridged and driven by a rotary drive mechanism, which includes a rotary motor and is connected to the receiving disk through a rotary transmission mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, a disk base is connected to one side of the second connecting block, and several sliders are disposed on one side of the disk base. The rotary motor is disposed at the end of the disk base, and the rotary motor can drive the receiving disk to rotate relative to the disk base.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotary transmission mechanism includes a rotary drive gear connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor, and a rotary driven gear meshing with the rotary drive gear and connected to the receiving disk.

[0015] Furthermore, the fixed base plate is provided with an extended detection element for detecting the lifting position of the receiving disk; The base of the disk is equipped with a rotation detection element for detecting the rotational position of the receiving disk; Both the extended detection element and the rotating detection element are photoelectric detection elements.

[0016] The second technical solution adopted by this utility model is an automated processing system including a consumable delivery module. The system includes at least two processing spaces physically separated by a partition. The consumable delivery module is provided between two adjacent processing spaces. The partition between the two processing spaces includes an interaction port. The receiving plate of the delivery module can approach and fit against the interaction port to receive the consumables to be delivered.

[0017] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model, by configuring a fixed base plate that extends in a specific direction, a movable base plate that can be driven to slide on the fixed base plate, and a receiving plate that is slidably connected to the movable base plate, makes the movement stroke of the receiving plate wider, which is conducive to its application in limited compact automated processing systems. The movable base plate can be driven by an extension motor fixedly configured on the fixed base plate through an extension transmission mechanism, and the movement control of the receiving plate is simple and reliable.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, the receiving disk is equipped with a rotary drive mechanism. Through a rotary motor and a rotary transmission mechanism formed by meshing gear sets, the receiving disk can be driven to rotate by a predetermined angle. This allows it to adapt to the layout characteristics of different operating modules, better meeting the conflict scenarios of space constraints and multiple functions in integrated processing systems. The module is equipped with a disk base, which is connected to the output of the bearing transmission mechanism, so that the receiving disk is indirectly driven by transmission. The disk base is fixedly connected to the rotary motor, which drives the receiving disk to rotate relative to the disk base. The rotary transmission mechanism includes a rotary drive gear and a rotary driven gear that meshes with it, making the rotary drive more precise. With the help of photoelectric type rotary detection devices, the rotation angle can be accurately controlled to efficiently cooperate with functional modules in different spaces.

[0019] 3. In this utility model, the output of the extended drive motor is connected to the transmission screw, which is threadedly connected to the transmission slider. The transmission slider can drive the movable substrate to slide along the slide rail fixed in the extension direction of the fixed substrate. The movable substrate outputs to the receiving disk through the bearing transmission mechanism. The bearing transmission mechanism includes two bearing transmission wheels arranged at intervals along the extension direction on the movable substrate. A bearing transmission belt is also wrapped around the two wheels. One side of the bearing transmission belt is connected to the fixed substrate through a first connecting block, and the other side of the bearing transmission belt is connected to the receiving disk through a second connecting block. In this way, when the movable substrate moves along the extension direction of the fixed substrate, it can drive the transmission belt to rotate, thereby driving the receiving disk connected on the other side to move along the extension direction. The receiving disk forms a longer combination type of transmission mechanism along the extension direction, which can drive the receiving disk to move faster and more accurately. The photoelectric type extension detection element on the fixed substrate can be used as a reference or limit basis for the extension movement, and the movement reliability is higher.

[0020] 4. This utility model also discloses an automated processing system, comprising at least two processing spaces physically separated by a partition. A consumable transfer module is located between two adjacent processing spaces. The interaction port in one of the processing spaces is surrounded by a partition to form a buffer space. The buffer space includes a transfer port that can be opened and closed. A negative pressure generator is also configured in the buffer space to give the buffer space a preset negative pressure. This allows for buffering when transferring various consumables between the two spaces, minimizing the risk of contamination during the transfer process. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1 like Figure 1 and Figure 2The diagram shown is an overall structural view of the consumable delivery module from different perspectives in this embodiment. A fixed base plate 110 extending in a preset direction is configured within the automated system or bio-automated processing module. In this embodiment, the automated system can be a diagnostic device of the immunological, biochemical, or molecular type. The fixed base plate 110 can have a specific thickness to ensure strength requirements, and the material can be steel, aluminum, or aluminum alloy. Here, the fixed base plate 110 extends vertically and its bottom end is fixed to the system substrate. A vertically extending extension slide rail 114 is fixedly connected to the fixed base plate 110. An extension drive motor 111 can be directly or indirectly fixedly connected to the fixed base plate 110. The motor type of the extension drive motor 111 can be any selected model such as a stepper or DC motor. The output end of the extension drive motor 111 is connected to an extension transmission mechanism. In this embodiment, the extension transmission mechanism includes a transmission screw 112 and an extension slider 113 that is threadedly connected to it. The output end of the extension drive motor 111 is connected to the transmission screw 112, thereby driving the transmission screw 112 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The extension slider 113, which is threadedly connected to the transmission screw 112, can achieve the following when the transmission screw 112 rotates: the extension slider 113 is driven to slide up and down along the screw axis. The extension slider 113 is also fixedly connected to the movable base plate 120, so that the output of the extension transmission mechanism is connected to the movable base plate 120. The back of the movable base plate 120 can be equipped with several sliders that are fitted and cooperate with the extension slide rail 114. In this way, when the extension slider 113 slides up and down along the axis of the transmission screw 112, the movable base plate 120 can also slide along the extension direction of the extension slide rail 114.The movable base plate 120 is also fixedly connected to a load-bearing transmission mechanism. The load-bearing transmission mechanism includes two load-bearing transmission wheels spaced apart on the movable base plate 120 and a load-bearing transmission belt 123 wound between the two load-bearing transmission wheels. The two load-bearing transmission wheels are respectively labeled as the first load-bearing transmission wheel 121 and the second load-bearing transmission wheel 122. The load-bearing transmission belt 123 is preferably configured as a toothed synchronous transmission belt. The first load-bearing transmission wheel 121 and the second load-bearing transmission wheel 122 are fixed on the movable base plate 120 at a preset distance, and the set direction of the two load-bearing transmission wheels is the same as the displacement direction of the movable base plate 120. One side of the load-bearing transmission belt 123 wound on the two load-bearing transmission wheels is connected to the fixed base plate 110 through a first connecting block 124. The other side of the carrying transmission belt 123 is connected to the receiving disk 11 via a second connecting block 125. The two connecting blocks are positioned at both ends of the carrying transmission belt 123 and configured to allow the second connecting block 125 to be driven by the movable base plate 120 and the carrying transmission belt 123, moving closer to or away from the first connecting block 124. In this embodiment, to ensure accurate and reliable output of the pulley-type carrying transmission mechanism to drive the receiving disk 11, the transmission module also includes a disk base 130. The second connecting block 125 can be directly connected to the disk base 130 and indirectly connected to the receiving disk 11. Several sliders are arranged on the back of the disk base 130 and can be fitted onto the carrying slide rail 126 fixed on the movable base plate 120. Thus, the carrying transmission belt 123 can be driven by the second connecting block 124. The two connecting blocks 125 drive the disk base 130 to move along the extension direction of the bearing slide rail 126. In this embodiment, both the bearing slide rail 126 and the extension slide rail 114 extend vertically. The final movement of the receiving disk 11 can be regarded as the combination of the sliding movements of the moving base plate 120 and the disk base 130, which lengthens the sliding stroke of the receiving disk 11 during the upward movement, while the fixed base plate 110 and the moving base plate 120 can be stacked during the downward movement, making the structure more suitable for highly integrated automated systems. The combination of screw drive mechanism and pulley drive mechanism can achieve precise transmission, fast transfer, and simple control. In order to improve the flexibility of the receiving disk 11 to adapt to the transfer under the optimal arrangement of functional units in different spaces, Due to directional differences, the receiving disk 11 is connected to a rotary drive mechanism, which includes a rotary motor 211. The rotary motor 211 outputs power to the receiving disk 11 through a rotary transmission mechanism, causing the receiving disk 11 to rotate relative to the disk base 130. To ensure the reliability of the rotary motor 211's operation, it is fixedly mounted on the disk base 130. The disk base 130 is also fixedly connected to a rotation detection element 102, which can serve as a reference for rotational movement and accurately define the rotational limit position. Similarly, an extension detection element 101 is fixedly connected to the fixed base plate 110, which can serve as a reference for the lifting and lowering movement of the receiving disk 11 and accurately define the vertical lifting and lowering limit position of the extension. Both detection elements are photoelectric type, offering higher reliability and lower cost.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the process of the consumable transfer module receiving consumables and lowering the receiving tray in this embodiment. With the fixed base plate 110 extending vertically, when the object to be transferred needs to be transferred, the extension drive motor 111 first operates, driving the extension slider 113 to rise along the axis of the transmission screw 112. This causes the movable base plate 120, fixedly connected to the extension slider 113, to rise. At this time, the two connecting blocks in the pulley transmission mechanism fixed to the movable base plate 120 move away from each other, causing the tray base 130 connected to the movable base plate 120 to slide upwards. Through motion synthesis, the tray base 130 can move faster and rise longer. After reaching a set height, the extension drive motor 111 stops. At this point, the receiving tray 11 can be configured with a first type of transfer consumable, which in this embodiment is illustrated as an extraction kit 100. To accurately limit the transfer of consumables within the receiving tray 11, multiple limiting posts are arranged around the receiving tray 11. After receiving the extraction kit 100, the extension drive motor 111 can be driven in the reverse direction, causing the extension slider 113 to descend, opposite to its previous upward movement. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The process is illustrated here. A sensing block is fixedly connected to the extension slider 113. When it descends to the set position, the sensing block can be inserted between the transmitting and receiving ends of the extension detection element 101, thereby generating a descent signal to stop the extension drive motor 111. This control is simple and reliable.

[0027] like Figure 5The diagram shows the state of the receiving disk of the consumable delivery module being driven to rotate in this embodiment. After the extended drive motor 111 drives the receiving disk 11 to descend to the set position, it stops operating. At this time, the height of the receiving disk 11 remains unchanged, and the rotating mechanism can operate. The rotary motor 211 mounted on the disk base 130 outputs a rotary motion drive, and its output is connected to a rotary drive gear 212 that can mesh with a rotary driven gear 213. Here, the rotary driven gear 213 has a larger gear radius to achieve a more suitable transmission ratio, driving the receiving disk 11 to rotate with low resistance and high rotational angle accuracy. Of course, under certain circumstances, a relay gear is also arranged between the rotary drive gear 212 and the rotary driven gear 213 to make the drive and driven gears... The gears are meshed together, and the driven gear 213 is also connected to the receiving disk 11. The two can be connected through the same shaft, so that the receiving disk 11 can drive the extraction kit 100 on it to rotate by a set angle. In order to ensure precise control of the rotation angle, a rotation sensing block is also fixedly connected to the rotation transmission gear. It can cooperate between the transmitting and receiving ends of the rotation detection element 102 to generate a rotation reference position or limit position signal. The rotation motor can drive the receiving disk 11 and the disk base 130 to rotate relative to each other at a set angle. The rotation angle can be controlled with higher precision through the gear transmission mechanism. In this embodiment, it is shown to rotate 90° or an approximate angle, so that the rotation mechanism can accurately and efficiently meet the needs of spatial layout differences.

[0028] like Figure 6 The diagram shows the state of the consumable transfer module transferring another type of consumable in this embodiment. The extended drive motor 111 can also rotate to drive the receiving tray 11 to rise to a set height, and then stop operating. The second type of consumable can be transferred on the receiving tray 11. In this embodiment, it is shown as the amplification kit 200. In order to ensure accurate and reliable reception, an amplification receiving block can be configured on the receiving tray 11. The accurately received amplification kit 200 can be driven down to a set height, and then the rotating drive mechanism is similarly used to make the receiving tray 11 rotate at a set angle.

[0029] Example 2 An automated processing system, the specific type of which is not limited in this embodiment, includes at least two processing spaces physically separated by a partition. A consumable transfer module as described in Embodiment 1 is included between two adjacent processing spaces. To reduce the risk of contamination that may occur when transferring consumables between different processing spaces, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8The diagram shows a buffer space configured within a given space and a process for receiving consumables through it. The buffer space is surrounded by a partition 313. To further reduce the risk of contamination within the buffer space, an exhaust duct 312 is also connected to it. A transfer port that can be opened and closed is configured on one side wall of the buffer space. In this embodiment, a transfer port 314 is configured at the top of the buffer space. When consumables need to be transferred, the transfer port 314 can be driven to open. At this time, a gripper or similar functional unit can grip and transfer different types of consumables into the buffer space. The consumables can be placed in the receiving tray 11. Then, the transfer port 314 of the buffer space is driven to close, thus reducing the risk of contamination when transferring consumables.

[0030] like Figure 9 The diagram shows the internal structure of the buffer space configured in the adjacent spaces separated by the partition in this embodiment. This embodiment illustrates that two adjacent spaces can be arranged at different heights, with the partition 2 between them, thus forming two adjacent spaces, one above the other. The upper space is the transmission space, and the lower space is the receiving space. An interaction port is provided on the partition 2. In the lower receiving space, the extended drive motor 111 within the consumable transmission module can drive the receiving tray 11 to rise and move closer to the interaction port on the partition 2. Ideally, the receiving tray 11 can fit snugly against the interaction port. To ensure the tightness of the receiving tray 11... For bonding, a sealing ring is also provided around the receiving plate, which can be a sealing pad or a sponge pad with a certain density requirement. In this way, the receiving plate can be driven to bond well with the interface. A negative pressure generator is provided in the buffer space, which can be a negative pressure fan 311. The air inlet of the negative pressure fan 311 is located in the buffer space, and its air outlet is connected to the exhaust channel 312. In this way, the negative pressure fan can establish a preset negative pressure in the buffer space to reduce the risk of pollution. In order to reduce the risk of pollution of the air discharged from the exhaust channel 312, a filter is provided near the exhaust outlet of the exhaust channel 312.

[0031] like Figure 10 and Figure 11The diagram shows the process of consumables transfer module and buffer space moving consumables between adjacent spaces. When consumables need to be transferred from the upper transfer space to the lower storage space, the receiving plate 11 is driven to rise and fit against the interaction port on the partition 2. At this time, the buffer space is basically isolated from the lower storage space. Thus, when the transfer port at the top of the buffer space is opened to receive the consumables to be transferred, it will not interfere with the lower storage space. The risk of contamination in the transfer space can also be solved quickly and promptly by the buffer space. After the consumables are placed on the receiving plate, the transfer port at the top of the buffer space is driven to close. After the closure is completed, the extension drive motor 111 can drive the receiving plate 11 to fall away from the interaction port. At this time, the buffer space only connects to the lower storage area and basically does not interfere with the upper transfer area. The buffer space configured in this way can minimize the risk of interference and contamination during the operation of the automated system and can play an optimal role in the space-constrained automated processing system. Other structures and functions are similar to those in Embodiment 1 and will not be described in detail here.
