[0039] Regarding the structure of the oscillation module 100, in some embodiments, refer to... Figure 4 As shown, the oscillation drive component 110 includes a drive motor 111, an eccentric sleeve 112, and a bearing 113. The eccentric sleeve 112 is fitted onto the motor shaft of the drive motor 111, with its central axis parallel to and spaced apart from the central axis of the motor shaft of the drive motor 111. The bearing 113 is fitted outside the eccentric sleeve 112, with its central axis parallel to the central axis of the motor shaft. The bearing 113 is connected to the oscillation disk 120. When the oscillation function is required, the drive motor 111 is powered on, and its motor shaft outputs rotational motion, causing the eccentric sleeve 112 and the bearing 113 to rotate eccentrically together. During the rotation of the bearing 113, the oscillation disk 120 can be pushed to move horizontally in the horizontal plane. It should be noted that, compared with the direct drive method of the motor in related technologies, the oscillation module 100 of this utility model embeds the bearing 113 in the hole of the upper oscillation disk 120. By using the rolling of the bearing 113 to drive the large load (temperature control module 200, perforated plate 10 and heat cover module 300) to move horizontally, the torque of the drive motor 111 can be reduced to the minimum, so as to achieve the effect of a small motor driving a large load.

[0044] The oscillation module 100 also includes a base 140, which is spaced below the oscillation disk 120 and supports the motor mount 150. Exemplarily, the side plate 152 of the motor mount 150 is fixedly connected to the base 140, and the fixing method can be screw connection. Optionally, the middle portion of the base 140 has a receiving hole, into which the bottom of the drive motor 111 enters, further enhancing the compactness of the oscillation module 100.
[0045] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the oscillation module 100 also includes an elastic support structure 130, one end of which is connected to the base 140, and the other end is connected to the oscillation disk 120.

Optionally, multiple support balls 160 are provided, and the multiple support balls 160 are rolled and supported on the bottom surface of the oscillation disk 120 in a ring arrangement. The support balls 160 are used to assist in supporting the oscillation disk 120 located above it. In addition, the support function of the support balls 160 can also be supported by a planar thrust bearing. Optionally, the support balls 160 are metal balls, and for example, the support balls 160 are steel balls. Optionally, multiple receiving grooves 154 are provided on the top of the annular protrusion 153 of the motor base 150, and each receiving groove 154 contains a support ball 160. The number of support balls 160 can be flexibly set as needed. For example, there are eight support balls 160, and the eight support balls 160 are evenly arranged on the annular protrusion 153.
[0047] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the oscillation module 100 also includes a heat insulation pad 170, which is disposed on the support surface of the oscillation disk 120. The heat insulation pad 170 is located between the oscillation disk 120 and the temperature control module 200 to reduce heat transfer, thereby ensuring the working stability and working accuracy of the oscillation module 100.
[0048] The cooling perforated plate 220 is a plate-like structure with multiple holes. The tubes of the perforated plate 10 can be inserted into the holes of the cooling perforated plate 220 one by one, thereby achieving positioning and assembly. It should be noted that the perforated plate 10 can be a 96-hole plate, such as a 96-hole aluminum plate or a 96-hole plastic plate. Of course, in addition to 96-hole plates, other specifications of perforated plates 10 can also be used. The cooling perforated plate 220 is compatible with the perforated plate 10, and the cooling perforated plate 220 can be replaced according to the perforated plate 10.
[0049] In some embodiments, the temperature control component 210 is a TEC (thermal refrigeration device). A TEC, also known as a semiconductor cooler, is a solid-state refrigeration technology based on the Peltier effect, which achieves precise temperature control by driving semiconductor materials with an electric current. Of course, besides using a TEC as the temperature control component 210, other methods can also be used to achieve the cooling effect, such as absorption refrigeration and magnetic refrigeration. The number of TECs can be flexibly set according to requirements; for example, four TECs are provided.
[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 6 As shown, the temperature control module 200 also includes a fixing frame 240, in which a mounting groove is formed, and the TEC is fixed in the mounting groove. Optionally, if the TEC is a rectangular plate structure, the fixing frame 240 is a square frame. Optionally, a separator for separating multiple TECs is also provided in the fixing frame 240.
[0051] To facilitate the positioning of the cooling perforated plate 220, the fixing frame 240 also has a limiting groove, in which the bottom of the cooling perforated plate 220 is placed. It should be noted that the mounting groove and the limiting groove can be connected to form a stepped hole.
[0052] Continue to refer to Figure 6 As shown, the temperature control module 200 also includes a heat dissipation structure 230, which is located on the side of the temperature control component 210 away from the cooling perforated plate 220 and is in contact with the temperature control component 210. Optionally, the heat dissipation structure 230 is a heat sink, such as a heat sink fin. Of course, in addition to heat sink fins, other heat dissipation components, such as a cooling fan, can also be used.
[0053] To accelerate heat transfer between the temperature control component 210 and the cooling perforated plate 220, and between the heat dissipation structure 230 and the temperature control component 210, and to achieve better heat transfer, in some embodiments, a first thermally conductive structure is provided between the heat dissipation structure 230 and the temperature control component 210; a second thermally conductive structure is provided between the temperature control component 210 and the cooling perforated plate 220. Optionally, the first thermally conductive structure is thermally conductive silicone grease; the second thermally conductive structure is also thermally conductive silicone grease. Of course, in addition to thermally conductive silicone grease, other structures with good thermal conductivity can also be used, such as the metal thermally conductive component 330.
[0054] To precisely control the temperature of the reaction environment of the multi-well plate 10 within the cooling plate 220, the temperature control module 200 further includes a first temperature sensing component. This first temperature sensing component is located at the cooling plate 220 and is used to acquire the temperature at that location. Optionally, the first temperature sensing component is a temperature sensor. When an external electrical signal controls the TEC to heat or cool, the temperature of the cooling plate 220 located above it changes accordingly. Through precise control by the temperature sensor, the temperature conditions required for the PCR reaction can be achieved.
[0055] The heated lid module 300 is designed to prevent reagent evaporation and cross-contamination during PCR reactions. The heated lid module 300 has two states: a first state and a second state. To enable the heated lid module 300 to quickly and accurately switch from the second state to the first state, refer to... Figure 6 and Figure 7 The temperature control module 200 includes a docking mechanism for guiding the hot cover module 300 to engage with the temperature control module 200 and limiting the movement of the hot cover module 300.
[0056] In some embodiments, the docking mechanism includes a docking structure 250 and a insertion guide post 340. The docking structure 250 is disposed on the temperature control module 200 and has a docking hole 251. The heat cover module 300 includes the insertion guide post 340, which is slidably inserted into the docking hole 251. It should be noted that the docking structure 250 can be integrated with the heat dissipation structure 230. The docking hole 251 and the insertion guide post 340 can be configured in multiple sets as needed. For example, there are four docking holes 251 and four insertion guide posts 340, and the four insertion guide posts 340 are inserted into the docking holes 251 one by one to achieve the insertion fit.
[0057] To improve the stability of the hot cover module 300 in the second state, in some embodiments, a first magnetic attractor is provided in the mating hole 251, and a second magnetic attractor is provided on the insertion guide post 340. Optionally, the insertion guide post 340 is a hollow structure, and the second magnetic attractor is located inside the insertion guide post 340. The first and second magnetic attractors are in an attracted state. Optionally, the first magnetic attractor is an electromagnet, and the second magnetic attractor is a ferromagnetic metal part. When the electromagnet is energized, it can attract the ferromagnetic metal part. When the electromagnet is de-energized, it can release the attraction to the ferromagnetic metal part, thereby allowing the hot cover module 300 to switch to the second state. It should be noted that the insertion guide post 340 has two functions: first, to position the hot cover module 300 and the temperature control module 200; second, when the electromagnet in the temperature control module 200 is energized, it can attract the hot cover module 300, so that the hot cover module 300 is fixed and presses the perforated plate 10.
[0058] Continue to refer to Figure 8 As shown, the temperature control module 200 also includes a heat-conducting shell 320 and a heat-conducting element 330. The heat-conducting shell 320 serves to insulate and maintain the appearance, while the heat-conducting element 330 serves to conduct heat. The heat-conducting shell 320 has a mounting cavity, and the heat-conducting element 330 is disposed within the mounting cavity. The heating element 310 is sandwiched between the heat-conducting shell 320 and the heat-conducting element 330. Optionally, the heating element 310 is an electric heating element, such as a metal heating element or a PTC heating element.
[0059] Optionally, the heat-conducting component 330 includes a metal plate 331 and a silicone pad 332. The top surface of the metal plate 331 is provided with a first receiving groove, and the heating component 310 is a heating element disposed in the receiving groove. The bottom surface of the metal plate 331 is provided with a second receiving groove, and the silicone pad 332 is disposed in the second receiving groove. In some embodiments, the insertion guide post 340 and the metal plate 331 are fixedly connected by screws.
[0060] The temperature control module 200 also includes a second temperature measuring component, which is located at the metal plate 331 and is used to obtain the temperature at the heating component 310. Optionally, the second temperature measuring component is a temperature sensor.
[0061] The oscillating PCR device also includes a control mechanism, which can be a centralized or distributed controller. For example, the controller can be a single microcontroller or a combination of multiple distributed microcontrollers. The microcontroller can run a control program to control all electrical control components such as the drive motor 111, temperature control component 210, and heating component 310 to perform their respective functions.
[0062] The following describes the working process of a shaking PCR device:
[0063] Once the entire oscillating PCR apparatus is ready, firstly, switch the heated lid module 300 to the second state and place the multiwell plate 10 containing the biochemical reaction materials into the cooling plate 220; then, switch the heated lid module 300 to the first state, specifically by inserting the insertion guide post 340 into the docking hole 251, energizing the electromagnet to attract the ferromagnetic metal part, thus firmly attaching the heated lid module 300 to the temperature control module 200; next, after the drive motor 111 rotates at the set speed, the motor shaft of the drive motor 111 drives the eccentric sleeve 112 and bearing 113 connected above to rotate eccentrically. During the movement of the bearing 113, the push... The oscillating plate 120 moves in a horizontal plane. With the support and damping effect of four elastic columns and the auxiliary support of circumferentially distributed steel balls, the oscillating plate 120 oscillates periodically in the horizontal plane. The temperature control module 200 is fixed on the oscillating plate 120, so that the entire temperature control module 200 and the heat cover module 300 oscillate together with the oscillating plate 120, thereby realizing the simultaneous oscillation and PCR reaction of the biochemical reaction materials in the multi-well plate 10. Finally, after the reaction is completed, the electromagnet is de-energized, the heat cover module 300 is removed, and the multi-well plate 10 containing the reagent materials is removed for subsequent testing, thus completing the entire oscillation and PCR process.
[0064] In summary, the oscillating PCR device disclosed in this invention integrates oscillation, PCR temperature control, and heated lid functions into one unit. It not only possesses the functions of a traditional shaker but also combines the functions of a PCR instrument and a heated lid. Compared to traditional library preparation, which typically involves shaking biological samples with a shaker followed by PCR amplification using two different devices, this invention requires only one small device to complete the high-load oscillation, temperature control module 200, multi-well plate 10, heated lid module 300, and 96-well PCR amplification of biological samples. Furthermore, the use of an indirect horizontal rolling drive motor 111 instead of a direct drive enables high-load oscillation driven by a small motor; the heated lid module 300 design reduces experimental time and the risk of reagent cross-contamination; and the modular design integrating the oscillation module 100, temperature control module 200, and heated lid module 300 results in a compact and small structure, facilitating integration into pipetting workstations, enabling automated production, saving experimental time, and improving production efficiency.
