Abstract
Description
An instant detection device Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to the structure of an instant detection device for sample detection. Background Art
[0002] POCT devices, also known as point-of-care testing (POCT), refer to clinical and bedside testing equipment performed at the patient's side. They are characterized by speed, ease of use, and overall low cost. Common point-of-care testing devices include, but are not limited to, immunochromatographic analyzers, microfluidic biochemistry analyzers, urine dry chemistry analyzers, and blood gas and electrolyte analyzers.
[0003] In the current medical environment, limited testing facilities require point-of-care testing equipment to be small and occupy a minimal desk space. However, current point-of-care testing equipment typically only has the testing capabilities for the corresponding items. For example, immunochromatographic analyzers can only perform immunoassays, while microfluidic biochemical analyzers can only perform biochemical tests. This requires medical institutions to simultaneously deploy multiple point-of-care testing devices. These individual point-of-care testing devices not only significantly occupy testing facility space but also increase instrument acquisition costs. Technical issues
[0004] A first aspect of the present invention provides a point-of-care testing device, in which a control module can be used in combination with at least one first point-of-care testing module, and the control module controls the first point-of-care testing module.
[0005] The second aspect of the present invention provides a point-of-care testing device, in which the second point-of-care testing module can not only complete the point-of-care testing operation on the sample by itself, but can also be used in combination with at least one first point-of-care testing module, and the second point-of-care testing module can control the first point-of-care testing module.
[0006] A third aspect of the present invention provides a control module of a point-of-care testing device, which can be used to control at least one first point-of-care testing module.
[0007] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a second instant detection module of an instant detection device, which, in addition to being able to perform instant detection operations on samples itself, can also be used to control at least one first instant detection module.
[0008] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a first instant detection module of an instant detection device, which can be combined with a corresponding control module or a second instant detection module, and controlled by the control module or the second instant detection module to complete the detection operation.

There can be one or more second detection components 21, which can be of the same or different types. The main control unit 11 is in communication with the second detection component 21 and controls the second detection component 21 to perform a test on the sample according to a test request command input by the user.
[0118] The main control unit 11 is also communicatively connected with each first instant detection module 3. The main control unit 11 is used to receive the detection request instruction input by the user and issue a control instruction to the corresponding first instant detection module 3 according to the detection request instruction; each first instant detection module 3 can complete at least one instant detection operation under the control of the main control unit 11.
[0119] Unlike the above-mentioned control module 1, the second instant detection module 2 in this embodiment can not only send control instructions to at least one first instant detection module 3 through the main control unit 11, but the second instant detection module 2 also has at least one second detection component 21, which can realize at least one instant detection item under the control of the main control unit 11.
[0120] In each of the above embodiments, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 can be used in combination with at least one first instant detection module 3. The user can select the first instant detection module 3 with the required instant detection items to form an instant detection device with the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2. The control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 is used to receive the detection request instruction input by the user and send a control instruction to the corresponding first instant detection module 3 according to the detection request instruction. Each first instant detection module 3 can complete at least one instant detection operation under the control of the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2. The control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 can serve as the main control system to control one or more first instant detection modules 3. These first instant detection modules 3 can be simplified in structure and only used to receive the control instruction of the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and perform the corresponding instant detection operation, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the entire instant detection device. Moreover, according to the required instant detection function, only the corresponding first instant detection module 3 can be selected to be combined with the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2, which is conducive to improving the diversity and availability of the instant detection device and reducing the waste of the first instant detection module 3.
[0121] Furthermore, the main control unit 11 of the control module 1 or the second point-of-care testing module 2 is capable of communicating with each first point-of-care testing module 3. Therefore, different types of first point-of-care testing modules 3 in the point-of-care testing device can be replaced according to actual needs, and the type and number of first point-of-care testing modules 3 can be arbitrarily increased or decreased. For example, unused first point-of-care testing modules 3 can be removed or not assembled to reduce the space occupied by these first point-of-care testing modules 3 that have not been used for a long time. For another example, a user can add first point-of-care testing modules 3 according to existing usage needs to expand the detection functions of the point-of-care testing device.
[0122] In the above embodiments, the first detection component 31 and the second detection component 21 are used to detect corresponding parameters of the sample. Depending on the purpose of the immediate detection, the parameters of the sample detected by the first detection component 31 and the second detection component 21 may also be different. The first detection component 31 and the second detection component 21 can be various sensors or other components and structures capable of detecting sample parameters. Depending on the different immediate detection projects, the first detection component 31 of different types of first immediate detection modules 3 and the second detection component 21 of second immediate detection modules 2 may be different or the same.
[0123] For example, in some embodiments, the type of the first instant detection module 3 is at least one of an immunochromatographic detector, a microfluidic biochemical detector, a urine dry chemical detector, a blood gas and electrolyte detector, and a blood cell detector. Similarly, the type of the second instant detection module 2 can also be at least one of an immunochromatographic detector, a microfluidic biochemical detector, a urine dry chemical detector, a blood gas and electrolyte detector, and a blood cell detector. In this case, the first detection component 31 in the first instant detection module 3 and the second detection component 21 in the second instant detection module 2 are also the detection components in the corresponding detectors. These detection components can be implemented using existing structures and will not be repeated here.
[0124] In each of the above embodiments, the first instant detection module 3 and the second instant detection module 2 may also have a sample pre-test operation component 14, which is a component used to perform relevant operations on the sample in the process from the time the sample is added to the time the sample can be detected by the detection component, and can realize functions such as sample preparation, reagent / consumables preparation, incubation reaction and / or status monitoring. For example, in some embodiments, the sample pre-test operation component 14 may include a component that processes the sample as required into a processed sample that can be detected by the first detection component 31 or the second detection component 21, and may also include a scanning component that helps identify the identity of the sample or reagent, and may also include a transport component for transporting the sample or reagent, etc. In addition, the sample pre-test operation component 14 may also be a component that only performs part of the operations in the process of sample preparation, reagent / consumables preparation, incubation reaction and / or status monitoring.
[0125] For example, in some embodiments, the first instant detection module 3 and / or the second instant detection module 2 are microfluidic biochemical detectors, and the sample needs to be centrifuged before detection so that the sample and the corresponding diluent are mixed and flow into the set position of the microfluidic chip. In some embodiments, the sample pre-detection operation component 14 may include a disk centrifugation mechanism for centrifuging the microfluidic chip. Of course, in other embodiments, the sample pre-detection operation component 14 may also include a disk entry and exit mechanism (a mechanism for inserting and exiting the microfluidic chip), a temperature control module (a module for maintaining a constant temperature of the microfluidic chip), and a calibration QR code reading module.
[0126] For another example, in some embodiments, the first instant detection module 3 and / or the second instant detection module 2 are fluorescent immunoassay instant detection modules, and the pre-sample test operation component 14 may include a temperature control module (a module for maintaining a constant temperature of the reagent card). In addition, in some embodiments, the pre-sample test operation component 14 may also include a reagent card entry and exit mechanism (a mechanism for inserting and removing the reagent card), a scanning mechanism (driving an optical system to scan the detection area of the reagent card), an ID card reading module (storing calibration information on the ID card), etc.
[0127] In summary, in different types of point-of-care testing modules (e.g., the first point-of-care testing module 3 and / or the second point-of-care testing module 2, the same applies hereinafter), the sample pre-test operation component 14 may be configured differently depending on the type. The specific structure of the sample pre-test operation component 14 can refer to the structures shown in various existing point-of-care testing devices.
[0128] Of course, in other embodiments, the sample pre-test operation component 14 may be omitted from the first instant detection module 3 and the second instant detection module 2, and these operations may be performed by other components outside the first instant detection module 3 and the second instant detection module 2 or manually.
[0129] Furthermore, the first instant detection module 3 can provide information feedback to the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 in a variety of ways. In some embodiments, referring to Figures 9 and 12, the first detection component 31 includes a sensor for detecting a sample and obtaining a detection signal. The first detection component 31 is capable of transmitting the detection signal to the main control unit 11, which processes the detection signal and obtains a detection result. That is, at this time, in addition to the control board configured by the first detection component 31 itself, the first instant detection module 3 does not have a separate control unit. The first detection component 31 directly sends the obtained detection signal to the main control unit 11, and the main control unit 11 obtains the detection result based on the detection signal. For example, in some embodiments, the sensor serving as the first detection component 31 is used to detect a physical, chemical, or biological characteristic of the sample being detected, generates a detection signal, and sends the detection signal directly to the main control unit 11, or the control board provided by the sensor conditions and collects the detection signal, converts it into a digital signal, and sends it to the main control unit 11. The sensor drive and support module is implemented by its own control board. In these embodiments, the first detection component 31 does not need to be specially provided with a control unit, which can further simplify the structure and reduce the volume.
[0130] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, referring to Figures 10 and 13 , the first detection component 31 includes a sensor for detecting a sample and obtaining a detection signal, and the first instant detection module 3 includes a sub-control unit 32 capable of processing the detection signal. The sub-control unit 32 obtains a detection result based on the detection signal, is communicatively connected to the main control unit 11, and transmits the detection result to the main control unit 11. Specifically, the sensor of the first detection component 31 is used to detect a physical, chemical, or biological characteristic of the sample being detected, generates a detection signal, and transmits the detection signal directly to the sub-control unit 32. Alternatively, the detection signal is conditioned and collected by a control board included with the sensor, converted into a digital signal, and transmitted to the sub-control unit 32. The sub-control unit 32 then calculates a parameter result corresponding to the detected characteristic of the sample and transmits it to the main control unit 11. In these embodiments, the first instant detection module 3 can directly determine the detection result, reducing the computational burden on the main control unit 11. This can improve the operating efficiency of the main control unit 11, especially when multiple first instant detection modules 3 are provided.
[0131] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the above two ways of the first immediate detection module 3 feeding back information to the control module 1 or the second immediate detection module 2 can both be included in the first immediate detection module 3 at the same time.
[0132] Furthermore, in terms of communication between the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and the first instant detection module 3, as shown in Figures 9, 10, 12, and 13, either wireless communication or wired communication can be used, or both methods can be used simultaneously. The dotted lines in Figures 9, 10, 12, and 13 merely indicate that the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 can communicate with the first instant detection module 3, and do not limit the specific form of communication.
[0133] Referring to FIG11 , in some embodiments, the control module 1 and the first instant detection module 3 communicate via a wired connection. The first instant detection module 3 includes a communication unit 34 and a communication connection line 36 . The communication connection line 36 includes a first communication port 361 and a second communication port 362 . The first communication port 361 is used to receive communication signals directly or indirectly output from the control module 1 and to output communication signals to the control module 1 . The second communication port 362 is electrically connected to the communication unit 34 to enable the communication unit 34 to communicate with the control module 1 .
[0134] Similarly, in some embodiments, the second instant detection module 2 and the first instant detection module 3 can also communicate with each other via wired communication. Referring to FIG14 , in this embodiment, at least a portion of the first instant detection module 3 has a communication unit 34 and a communication connection line 36. The communication connection line 36 has a first communication port 361 and a second communication port 362. The first communication port 361 is used to receive communication signals directly or indirectly output from the second instant detection module 2 and to output communication signals to the second instant detection module 2. The second communication port 362 is electrically connected to the communication unit 34 to enable the communication unit 34 to communicate with the control module 1.
[0135] Among them, the communication signal directly or indirectly output from the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 can come directly from the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2, or from other first instant detection modules 3 that are communicatively connected to the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2, that is, through other first instant detection modules 3 that serve as intermediate transfer objects, the communication signal emitted by the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 is transmitted to the first communication port 361 of the current first instant detection module 3.
[0136] In some embodiments, in order to enable a first instant detection module 3 to continue to expand more first instant detection modules 3 backward, the first instant detection module 3 can be given a communication switching function, so that the first instant detection module 3 expanded backward can achieve communication connection with the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 through the current first instant detection module 3.
[0137] Continuing with reference to Figures 11 and 14, in some embodiments, the communication connection line 36 of at least a portion of the first instant detection module 3 further includes a third communication port 363, which is electrically connected to the first communication port 361. The third communication port 363 is used to output the communication signal of the first communication port 361 to other first instant detection modules 3 and output the communication signal of other first instant detection modules 3 to the first communication port 361. That is, other first instant detection modules 3 can be connected to the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 through the third communication port 363 to achieve a serial connection, such as using a daisy chain method disclosed in the prior art. In this structure, using the first instant detection module 3 with the third communication port 363, multiple first instant detection modules 3 can be connected in series to achieve the series structure shown in Figures 1 and 2. More first instant detection modules 3 can be conveniently connected in series as needed to form an integral structure, making it more flexible when assembling the instant detection device. It is also possible to remove the first instant detection modules 3 that are not commonly used and only retain the first instant detection modules 3 that are commonly used, making the entire instant detection device smaller.
[0138] Furthermore, in other embodiments, each first instant detection module 3 may also utilize other existing methods to communicate with the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 to exchange information. For example, in some embodiments, the first communication port 361 of each first instant detection module 3 is communicatively connected to the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 in parallel. Specifically, in some embodiments, each first instant detection module 3 may be communicatively connected to the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 via a corresponding connecting cable, for example, utilizing a commonly known star connection.
[0139] Furthermore, in addition to the wired method, in some embodiments, the first instant detection module 3 has a communication unit 34, and each communication unit 34 can be connected to the main control unit 11 by wireless communication, for example, using Bluetooth technology, Star Flash technology, WIFI technology, etc. to achieve wireless communication.
[0140] In some embodiments, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 can independently communicate with each first instant detection module 3 without being affected by other first instant detection modules 3. That is, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 can independently control one or more first instant detection modules 3, and the one or more first instant detection modules 3 can also independently feedback detection signals or detection results to the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2. In this way, each first instant detection module 3 can be individually removed from the overall structure or spliced and combined with the overall structure, realizing any combination and splicing between the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and the first instant detection module 3.
[0141] Of course, in other embodiments, the control module 1 or the second immediate detection module 2 can also synchronously control two or more first immediate detection modules 3. This application does not limit the control module 1 or the second immediate detection module 2 to only communicating with each first immediate detection module 3 individually.
[0142] Furthermore, in some embodiments, each first instant detection module 3 can be powered by its own power cord or rechargeable battery. In other embodiments, at least a portion of the first instant detection modules 3 can also be powered by the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2. This can further simplify the structure of the first instant detection modules 3, eliminating the need for an external power cord and adapter, and eliminating the need for rechargeable batteries.
[0143] Referring to FIG11 , in some embodiments, at least a portion of the first point-of-care testing module 3 includes a power supply unit 35 and a power supply connection circuit 37. The power supply connection circuit 37 includes a first power supply port 371 and a second power supply port 372. The first power supply port 371 is used to receive a power signal directly or indirectly output from the second point-of-care testing module 2. The second power supply port 372 is connected to the power supply unit to transmit the power signal directly or indirectly output from the second point-of-care testing module 2 to the power supply unit. The power signal is an electrical signal used to power the first point-of-care testing module 3.
[0144] Similarly, please refer to Figure 14. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first instant detection module 3 has a power supply unit 35 and a power supply connection line 37. The power supply connection line 37 has a first power supply port 371 and a second power supply port 372. The first power supply port 371 is used to access the power signal directly or indirectly output from the second instant detection module 2. The second power supply port 372 is connected to the power supply unit to transmit the power signal directly or indirectly output from the second instant detection module 2 to the power supply unit.
[0145] Among them, the power signal directly or indirectly output from the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 can come directly from the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2, or from other first instant detection modules 3 that are communicatively connected to the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2, that is, through other first instant detection modules 3 that serve as intermediate transfer objects, the power signal emitted by the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 is transmitted to the first power supply port 371 of the current first instant detection module 3.
[0146] Furthermore, in some embodiments, in order to enable a first instant detection module 3 to continue to supply power to more other first instant detection modules 3, at least some of the first instant detection modules 3 can be provided with a power supply transfer function, so that the first instant detection modules 3 expanded backward can be powered by the current first instant detection module 3 and the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2.
[0147] Continuing with reference to Figures 11 and 14 , in some embodiments, the power supply connection circuit 37 of at least a portion of the first instant detection modules 3 further includes a third power supply port 373. This third power supply port 373 is connected to the first power supply port 371 for power supply. The third power supply port 373 is used to output the power signal from the first power supply port 371 to the next first instant detection module 3. In other words, other first instant detection modules 3 can be connected to the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 for power supply via this third power supply port 373, achieving a serial connection, such as using a daisy chain arrangement known in the prior art. In this configuration, utilizing first instant detection modules 3 with third power supply ports 373 allows multiple first instant detection modules 3 to be connected in series, thereby achieving the series power supply structure shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
[0148] Furthermore, in other embodiments, each first instant detection module 3 may also be connected to the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 for power supply in other ways, and the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 may provide unified power supply. For example, in some embodiments, each first instant detection module 3 may be connected to the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 for power supply via a corresponding power connection cable, such as in a so-called star connection.
[0149] Furthermore, in addition to wired charging, in some embodiments, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 can also charge some or all of the first instant detection modules 3 via wireless charging. As a further extension, some or all of the first instant detection modules 3 can also be used as power sources to wirelessly charge or power other first instant detection modules 3 via wired charging.
[0150] Furthermore, to form a vertically stacked overall structure, referring to Figures 6 and 7 , in some embodiments, the main communication port 121 and / or main power supply port 161 on the control module 1 or second instant detection module 2, used for docking with the first instant detection module 3, can be located on the bottom wall of the second housing 10, while the first communication port 361 and / or first power supply port 371 on the first instant detection module 3 are located on the top wall of the first housing 30. During assembly, the control module 1 or second instant detection module 2 can be placed above the first instant detection module 3, with the main communication port 121 docking with the first communication port 361 and the main power supply port 161 docking with the first power supply port 371. This structure not only allows the control module 1 or second instant detection module 2 to form a top-and-bottom arrangement with the corresponding first instant detection module 3, but also ensures that the control module 1 or second instant detection module 2 is located above the first instant detection module 3, facilitating user control of the control module 1 or second instant detection module 2.
[0151] In order to enable the first instant detection modules 3 at the rear end to be stacked and spliced in the vertical direction, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7. On the first instant detection module 3, the first communication port 361 and the third communication port 363 are arranged relative to each other, and the first communication port 361 is located on the top wall of the first shell 30, and the third communication port 363 is located on the bottom wall of the first shell 30; and / or, the first power supply port 371 and the third power supply port 373 are arranged relative to each other, and the first power supply port 371 is located on the top wall of the first shell 30, and the third power supply port 373 is located on the bottom wall of the first shell 30. In this way, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 can be formed with one or more first instant detection modules 3 to form a vertical arrangement combination as shown in Figure 1. This vertical arrangement combination can maximize the reduction of the occupation of the horizontal space, make full use of the space, and expand more first instant detection modules 3 without increasing the horizontal area of the entire instant detection device, thereby realizing a collection of more timely detection functions.
[0152] Of course, the placement of the ports is not limited to that shown in Figures 6 and 7 . In other embodiments, the primary communication port 121 and / or primary power supply port 161 on the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 may also be located on the top wall or circumferential side walls of the second housing 10. Furthermore, all outer walls of the first housing 30, such as the top, bottom, and side walls, may be used to accommodate the communication ports and / or power supply ports. For example, referring to Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the communication ports and / or power supply ports may also be located on the left and right side walls of the first housing 30.
[0153] Furthermore, in some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , the first instant detection module 3 has a first pogo pin interface, and the first pogo pin interface includes a first communication port 361 and a first power supply port 371 .
[0154] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , the first instant detection module 3 has a second pogo pin interface, and the second pogo pin interface includes a third communication port 363 and a third power supply port 373 .
[0155] Correspondingly, the main communication port 121 and / or the main power supply port 161 on the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 for docking with the first instant detection module 3 may also adopt but not limited to a pogo pin interface.
[0156] In the above embodiment, the use of a pogo pin interface can achieve a convenient, fast, and stable electrical connection structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the first communication port 361 and the first power supply port 371, as well as the third communication port 363 and the third power supply port 373, can also adopt other forms of wired electrical connection and docking structures, not limited to the pogo pin interface.
[0157] In addition to the above communication connections and power supply connections, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and the corresponding first instant detection module 3 can also be assembled and combined in space to form an integral structure.
[0158] For example, referring to Figures 1-6, in some embodiments, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 has an external mounting structure 17 that is detachably connected to the corresponding first instant detection module 3, so that the control module 1 can be assembled and combined with the corresponding first instant detection module 3 to form an integral structure. Correspondingly, referring to Figure 7, in some embodiments, the first instant detection module 3 can have a first mounting structure 381 that is detachably connected to the external mounting structure 17 of the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2, so that the corresponding first instant detection module 3 can be installed on the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2.
[0159] When there are at least two first instant detection modules 3, in order to allow more first instant detection modules 3 to be expanded on some first instant detection modules 3, please refer to FIG7 . In some embodiments, at least one first instant detection module 3 has a first mounting structure 381 and a second mounting structure 382. The first mounting structure 381 can be detachably connected to the external mounting structure 17 of the control module 1 or the second mounting structure 382 of another first instant detection module 3. That is, as a first instant detection module 3 expanded on the current first instant detection module 3, the first mounting structure 381 of the expanded first instant detection module 3 can be detachably connected to the second mounting structure 382 of the previous first instant detection module 3.
[0160] In some embodiments, the detachable connection between the first mounting structure 381 and the external mounting structure 17 and / or the detachable connection between the first mounting structure 381 and the second mounting structure 382 can be at least one of snap connection, screw connection, magnetic fixation, fixing with a fixing part and bonding, as long as the connection can be achieved between the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and the first instant detection module 3 and between different first instant detection modules 3 to form an integral structure.
[0161] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 and 7. In order to form an overall structure stacked in the vertical direction, the bottom wall of the second shell 10 is provided with an external mounting structure 17, and the first mounting structure 381 is provided on the top wall of the first shell 30 of the first instant detection module 3, so that the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 can be located above the first instant detection module 3.
[0162] In order to enable the first instant detection modules 3 at the rear end to be stacked and spliced in the vertical direction, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7, the second mounting structure 382 is provided on the bottom wall of the first instant detection module 3, so that each first instant detection module 3 can be stacked in the vertical direction with the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2, as shown in Figure 1.
[0163] Of course, in other embodiments, the external mounting structure 17 may also be disposed on other outer walls of the second housing 10, such as the top wall or a circumferential side wall. In other embodiments, the external mounting structure 17 on the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 may also be disposed on the top wall or a circumferential side wall of the second housing 10. All outer walls of the first housing 30, such as the top wall, bottom wall, and side walls, may be used to mount the first mounting structure 381 and the second mounting structure 382.
[0164] Furthermore, in addition to forming a mechanical connection structure, in some other embodiments, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and each first instant detection module 3 are stacked together to form an integral structure in a non-mechanically connected manner. That is, apart from the necessary electrical connection structure, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and each first instant detection module 3 have no mechanical connection structure, and they are stacked to form various integral structures. The shape of the integral structure can adopt, but is not limited to, those shown in Figures 1-5.
[0165] Regardless of whether they are connected with a mechanical connection (such as a detachable connection) or directly stacked without a mechanical connection, some embodiments show the splicing and stacking shape of the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and each first instant detection module 3. For example, as shown in FIG1 , the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and each first instant detection module 3 can be stacked in a vertical direction; or, as shown in FIG2 , the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and each first instant detection module 3 are arranged in a straight line; or, as shown in FIG3 , the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and each first instant detection module 3 are stacked in a triangle; or, as shown in FIG4 , the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and each first instant detection module 3 are stacked in a pyramid shape; or, as shown in FIG5 , the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and each first instant detection module 3 are stacked in a square shape. In addition, the splicing and stacking shape of the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and each first instant detection module 3 is not limited to the shape shown in the figure, and can also be other shapes, such as a herringbone shape.
[0166] Regardless of the splicing and combination method, in some embodiments, in the overall structure, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 is located at the top of the overall structure, so as to form a certain height of the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 with the help of the stacking of the first instant detection module 3, thereby facilitating the user to operate the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 and view information from the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2.
[0167] In particular, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 10 and 14, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 may also have auxiliary functional components, such as auxiliary functional components including but not limited to at least one of an external power input interface 16, a human-computer interaction unit 13, and a printer 15. Through the external power input interface 16, the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2 can uniformly power some or all of the first instant detection modules 3, thereby simplifying the first instant detection modules 3. The human-computer interaction unit 13 may include but not be limited to a display screen, a touch screen, touch buttons, physical buttons, or other information interaction structures. The human-computer interaction unit 13 may not be provided on other first instant detection modules 3. The user can uniformly control each first instant detection module 3 and view the inspection results of each first instant detection module 3 through the human-computer interaction unit 13 of the control module 1 or the second instant detection module 2, further simplifying the structure of the first instant detection module 3.
