[0093] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings in the present disclosure only serve the purpose of description and illustration, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In addition, one or more other operations can be added to the flowcharts or removed from the flowcharts under the guidance of the present disclosure by those skilled in the art.

[0094] In addition, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present disclosure described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present disclosure, but only represents selected embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0095] It should be noted that the term "comprising" will be used in the embodiments of the present disclosure to indicate the presence of the features that follow, but not to exclude the presence of other features.

[0096] First, the related background knowledge involved in the present disclosure is simply explained:

[0097] The dry biochemical analyzer is an analyzer for clinical chemical test using solid carrier reagent. It quantitatively measures the concentration of specific components in the sample by reflectance densitometry.

[0098] The principle of the dry biochemical analyzer is to add a body fluid sample (serum, urine, etc.) on the dry reagent sheet. The measured substance in the sample reacts with the reagent sheet components to cause the color change of the reagent sheet, i.e., the change of reflectance density. By periodically measuring the reflectance density of the reagent sheet at a specific wavelength after adding the sample within a fixed reaction time, the reaction curve of the sample within the entire reaction time is finally drawn. The change value or rate of the reflectance density is calculated from the reaction curve, and then the concentration or biological activity of the measured substance in the sample is obtained by corresponding to the calibration curve.

[0099] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a dry reagent sheet provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the dry reagent sheet is a multi-layer dry reagent sheet made on a transparent support substrate. The typical reagent sheet is sequentially composed of a diffusion layer, a filter layer, a reagent layer, and a color development layer from top to bottom. When detecting a body fluid sample, the temperature of the dry reagent sheet should be heated and stabilized at the optimum reaction temperature of about 37℃. A certain amount of body fluid sample is added to the diffusion layer on the surface of the reagent sheet, and the body fluid sample diffuses horizontally in the layer to form a circular area, which can increase the contact area between the subsequent body fluid sample and the reagent and improve the reaction speed. At the same time, the body fluid sample also penetrates downward to the filter layer. After the body fluid sample passes through the filter layer to filter out interfering substances, it penetrates downward to the reagent layer and reacts with the dry reagent components solidified therein to produce a reaction product. The reaction product will produce absorption to light in a specific spectral range. The reaction product continues to penetrate downward to the color development layer and is fixed. Finally, the color change of the reagent sheet can be observed from the transparent support substrate. The degree or rate of color change can reflect the concentration of the measured substance. By measuring the color change of the dry reagent sheet, the concentration or biological activity of the measured substance in the sample can be determined. The visual subjective feeling of the color change of the dry reagent sheet can be objectively and quantitatively detected by measuring the reflectance density thereof.

[0100] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of light distribution after the light irradiation of the dry reagent sheet according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, when the light of a certain wavelength is irradiated from bottom to top on the dry reagent sheet, a part of the light is specularly reflected on the surface of the transparent support substrate, which does not reflect the color change of the reagent sheet. The remaining part of the light penetrates the transparent support substrate into the color developing layer. The light interacts with the microstructure and molecules of the color developing layer, and returns to the surface after multiple reflections, refractions and absorptions. The intensity of the light is significantly changed, i.e., reflects the color change of the reagent sheet. The direction of the reflected light also does not follow the direction of specular reflection, but becomes diffuse reflection. The direction of the diffuse reflected light and the light intensity follow the Lambertian radiation law.

[0101] Therefore, the change of the reflected light density of the diffuse reflected light at the bottom of the dry reagent sheet can be used to objectively and quantitatively detect the color change of the dry reagent sheet.

[0102] There are three major types of analysis methods commonly used in dry biochemical analyzers, endpoint method, fixed time method (two-point method) and continuous monitoring method (rate method).

[0103] The endpoint method refers to that after a period of incubation, the entire reaction reaches equilibrium, the concentration of the reactants no longer increases, and the increase or decrease degree of the reflected light density is proportional to the concentration of the measured substance.

[0104] The fixed time method refers to that within a certain reaction time, the reaction rate is proportional to the concentration of the reactants, the reactants are consumed continuously, the reaction speed decreases continuously, the speed of the increase or decrease of the light density slows down, and a long time is required for the reaction to reach equilibrium. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor within a specific time period.

[0105] The continuous monitoring method refers to that during the entire incubation process, the concentration of a certain reaction product of the measured substance is continuously monitored at equal intervals of time, and the reaction speed of the measured substance is calculated. That is, the light signal value is collected at equal intervals of time after the reagent sheet is added, and the concentration of the measured substance is calculated.

[0106] It is worth noting that when the dry biochemical analyzer is used to test different items (for different measured substances, such as albumin, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol, etc.), the sample addition amount and test time corresponding to different items are different. The process of collecting the light signal by using the optical system provided in the present solution is the same. Therefore, in order to simultaneously detect multiple different items, the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer should be able to detect the reflected light density of multiple wavelengths, and quickly switch the wavelengths to meet the purpose of simultaneously detecting the reaction curves of multiple reagent sheets.

[0107] Biochemical detection is periodically collected light signal value to calculate the concentration of the measured object, when the light irradiation on the dry reagent sheet at different time is inconsistent, the collected light signal value has error, leading to abnormal reaction curve, thereby affecting the accuracy of the experimental results. The dry biochemical reagent sheet is a multi-layer film structure, and the sample to be measured will appear uneven diffusion distribution when diffusing in the reagent sheet, and when the light irradiated on the sample surface is uneven, it will affect the stability of the measurement. The dry biochemical analyzer tests the diffuse reflection light at a fixed angle, so the collection light path can uniformly collect the light of the entire illuminated surface.

[0108] In summary, based on the principle of dry biochemical analyzer, the dry biochemical instrument should meet the following indicators:

[0109] 1. According to different detection items, different wavelength narrow-band light sources should be set;

[0110] 2. According to different detection items, the wavelength can be switched;

[0111] 3. Different wavelength light sources should be irradiated on the same dry reagent sheet position;

[0112] 4. The light irradiation on the dry reagent sheet needs to be stable;

[0113] 5. The light irradiation on the surface of the dry reagent sheet needs to be uniformly distributed;

[0114] 6. Detect the diffuse reflection light along the fixed angle of the dry reagent sheet surface, and the collection light path can uniformly collect the light of the entire illuminated surface.

[0115] FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a conventional dry optical analyzer optical system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 is a structural schematic diagram of another conventional dry optical analyzer optical system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. There are two kinds of conventional dry optical analyzer optical system structures.

[0116] The first kind is shown in FIG. 3, using a single-color LED (Light Emitting Diode, i.e. light emitting diode) as a light source, a plurality of wavelength single-color LED light sources are concentrically arranged, the first light source 202, the second light source 203, the third light source 204, the fourth light source 205, the fifth light source 206 and the sixth light source 207 are single-color LEDs of different wavelengths, the light source emits a light beam, which irradiates on the surface of the measured dry reagent sheet 106, part of which is absorbed and part of which is diffusely reflected, and the diffusely reflected light is received by the photodetector 208; the temperature of the light source is controlled by the temperature control device and the temperature sensor, and the temperature drift of the single-color LED light source is reduced, so that the light emitting efficiency of the single-color LED light source is stable.

[0117] However, the first kind of conventional dry optical analyzer optical system has the following shortcomings:

[0118] 1. The temperature control device and temperature sensor are used to ensure the stability of the light source, and the light signal value has poor stability and poor precision;

[0119] 2. The light intensity on the surface of the dry reagent sheet is not uniform;

[0120] 3. The collection light path cannot uniformly collect the light of the entire illuminated surface.

[0121] The second structure is shown in FIG. 4. The illumination light path uses complex light as the light source. The seventh light source 301 emits a light beam. The filter wheel 302 is driven by a motor to rotate. After filtering through the filter wheel 302, the light is irradiated on the dry reagent sheet 106 to be measured. Part of the light is absorbed, and part of the light is diffusely reflected. The diffusely reflected light is focused by the lens 304 and received by the photodetector 208.

[0122] However, the second traditional dry optical analyzer optical system has the following disadvantages:

[0123] 1. Halogen tungsten lamp and xenon lamp are used as complex light sources. The light source generates a large amount of heat, has a short service life, and has high maintenance costs;

[0124] 2. The light source is preheated to ensure the stability of the output light intensity. The light intensity has poor stability and poor precision;

[0125] 3. The complex light source needs to be set with a filter wheel for light splitting. The filter wheel is switched by a motor. The mechanical structure is complex, and the spectrum cannot be quickly switched;

[0126] 4. The light intensity on the surface of the dry reagent sheet is not uniform;

[0127] 5. The collection light path cannot uniformly collect the light of the entire illuminated surface.

[0128] Based on the above-mentioned disadvantages of the traditional dry optical analyzer optical system, the present disclosure provides a dry biochemical analyzer optical system. The system is composed of a light source feedback unit, a uniform light illumination light path, and a collection light path. The light source feedback unit can feedback and adjust the current of the monochromatic LED light source, so that the light intensity output by the monochromatic LED is stable. The structure is simple, the adjustment precision is high, and the stability is high. The circuit switch is used to switch different wavelengths of monochromatic LED. There is no moving part for switching different wavelengths of light source. The switching speed is fast and stable. The uniform light illumination light path composed of a compound eye lens and an integrating lens processes the incident light. Uniform illumination can be obtained on the dry reagent sheet. The light spots of different wavelengths of monochromatic LED are coincided on the surface of the dry reagent sheet. The light path is simple. The collection light path is designed as a telecentric light path, which can uniformly collect the light of the entire illuminated surface. The use of the system can improve the accuracy of the collected reaction light corresponding to the measured object, thereby improving the accuracy of the subsequent analysis results of the measured object.

[0129] Next, the structure of the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer provided by the present disclosure and the corresponding system use method are described through multiple embodiments.

[0130] FIG. 5 is a frame diagram of an optical system of a dry biochemical analyzer provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer can include a light source feedback unit, a uniform light illumination light path, and a collection light path.

[0131] The light source feedback unit is configured to control the light beam emitted by the light source of the specified wavelength corresponding to the to-be-measured substance according to the type of the to-be-measured substance, collect the feedback light beam after the light beam emitted by the light source of the specified wavelength is reflected or refracted, and perform feedback adjustment on the feedback light signal value collected by the feedback light beam and the preset target light signal value corresponding to the light source of the specified wavelength, so as to adjust the output light signal value of the light source of the specified wavelength.

[0132] Generally, in order to make the linear range of the finally generated reaction curve corresponding to the to-be-measured substance larger, the wavelength of the selected light source should be close to the reflection density peak. Therefore, different wavelengths of light sources need to be selected for illumination according to the type of the to-be-measured substance. Alternatively, the wavelengths of the light sources corresponding to different to-be-measured substances can be determined in advance according to experiments, so that the light source feedback unit can control the light beam emitted by the light source of the specified wavelength corresponding to the to-be-measured substance to the measured dry reagent sheet 106 according to the type of the current to-be-measured substance.

[0133] Table 1 below exemplarily shows the wavelengths of the detection light sources corresponding to different to-be-measured substances when different analysis methods are used for concentration analysis.

[0134] Table 1

[0135] The uniform light illumination light path is configured to split and focus the incident light beam after the light beam emitted by the light source of the specified wavelength is reflected or refracted, and converge the light beam on the measured dry reagent sheet 106.

[0136] Part of the light beam emitted by the light source of the specified wavelength after being reflected or refracted is incident to the uniform light illumination light path. The uniform light illumination light path can perform uniform light processing on the incident light rays, so that the light spot finally irradiated on the dry reagent sheet is uniform, and multiple monochromatic LED light sources of different wavelengths arranged off-axis are focused at the same position.

[0137] The collection light path is configured to collect the light rays reflected on the measured dry reagent sheet 106 and satisfying a second preset angle with the optical axis of the collection light path, and obtain a light signal.

[0138] When the light beam emitted by the light source of a specified wavelength is subjected to uniform light treatment by the uniform light illumination light path, the light beam can irradiate the dry reagent sheet 106 under test, and after being reflected by the dry reagent sheet 106 under test, the light is collected by the collection light path. The collection light path can collect the light reflected by the dry reagent sheet 106 under test at a specified angle with the optical axis of the collection light path, and obtain an optical signal value according to the collected light. The collection light path in the embodiment can be configured to uniformly collect the light of the entire illuminated surface.

[0139] In some embodiments, the optical signal value collected by the collection light path can be sent to an external processing device, for example, a processor, a server, or a host computer independent of the optical system. Thus, the external device can calculate the reflectance density according to the collected optical signal value, draw a reaction curve, and then obtain the change value or rate of the reflectance density according to the reaction curve, and then obtain the concentration of the test substance according to the calibration curve of the test substance. The calibration curve of the test substance can be generated by experiment in advance.

[0140] Of course, the concentration of the test substance obtained based on the reaction curve is only one application of the reaction curve. In actual use, the obtained reaction curve is not limited to analyzing the concentration of the test substance, but can also be used to analyze the temperature, pH (Pondus Hydrogenii, pH value), purity, etc. of the test substance.

[0141] In summary, the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer provided in the embodiment can be composed of a light source feedback unit, a uniform light illumination light path, and a collection light path. The light source feedback unit can feedback and adjust the current of the light source, so that the light intensity output by the light source is stable, the structure is simple, the adjustment precision is high, and the stability is high. The uniform light illumination light path can uniformly process the incident light, so that uniform illumination can be obtained on the dry reagent sheet under test, and the light path is simple. The collection light path can uniformly collect the light of the entire illuminated surface. The use of the system can improve the accuracy of the collected reaction light corresponding to the test substance, thereby improving the accuracy of the subsequent analysis results of the test substance.

[0153] FIG. 8 is a layout schematic diagram of a first light source module provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 9 is a layout schematic diagram of a second light source module provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the present scheme, the light source of each wavelength can adopt a monochromatic LED light source. As shown in FIG. 8, the first light source module 101 can be provided with four monochromatic LEDs, and the four monochromatic LEDs are symmetrically distributed along the central axis. As shown in FIG. 9, the second light source module 102 is provided with three monochromatic LEDs, and the three monochromatic LEDs have two distribution forms. As shown in FIG. 9(a), the three monochromatic LEDs are symmetrically distributed. As shown in FIG. 9(b), the distribution form of each monochromatic LED light source in the second light source module 102 is consistent with that of each monochromatic LED light source in the first light source module 101, and one LED placement position is left empty. The empty placement can be any one of the four LED placement positions.

[0154] Seven monochromatic LED light sources of different wavelengths are arranged in the first light source module 101 and the second light source module 102, and the switching of the monochromatic LEDs of each wavelength can be realized through the controller 118 of the light source feedback unit and the multi-channel light source current driver 119.

[0159] In some embodiments, the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer uses a monochromatic LED as a light source. The spectral range of the monochromatic LED is narrow, and there is no need to set a filter for light splitting. Different wavelengths of monochromatic LEDs are selected according to the characteristics of the to-be-tested substances and the detection method used to irradiate the dry reagent sheet 106. In the present embodiment, multiple to-be-tested substances such as albumin and alkaline phosphatase can be tested. Seven test wavelengths are set as 365 nm, 400 nm, 460 nm, 540 nm, 600 nm, 630 nm, and 680 nm.

The first light source module 101 and the second light source module 102 incident to the beam splitter 103 from different directions are refracted and reflected on the surface of the beam splitter 103.

[0166] A mirror can be used to realize the functions of combining light beams of different wavelengths and splitting light beams of a single wavelength. In the present disclosure, the light sources are not limited to be placed on both sides of the beam splitter 103, but can also be placed on one side of the beam splitter 103. The beam splitter 103 can also be a prism, a dichroic mirror, a common flat glass, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0167] Optionally, still referring to FIG. 7, the data acquisition and conversion module 144 can further include a low-pass filter 115, one end of the low-pass filter 115 is connected with the flow pressure converter 114, and the other end of the low-pass filter 115 is connected with the gain amplifier 116; the low-pass filter 115 is used to filter the voltage signal converted by the flow pressure converter 114 to obtain a filtered voltage signal.

[0168] Optionally, the controller 118 is specifically configured to determine a difference between the current feedback optical signal value and the target optical signal value of the light source of the specified wavelength according to the current feedback optical signal value of the light source of the specified wavelength and the target optical signal value corresponding to the light source of the specified wavelength, generate a current adjustment instruction of the light source current value according to the difference, and control the multi-channel light source current driver 119 to adjust the current value of the light source of the specified wavelength according to the current adjustment instruction, so that the output optical signal value of the light source of the specified wavelength reaches the target optical signal value.

[0169] In some embodiments, the light source feedback unit can use a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) adjustment algorithm to adjust the current of the monochromatic LED light source, and keep the monochromatic LED light intensity stable at any moment, which has a simple structure, high adjustment precision and high stability.

[0170] FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of a hardware structure of a light source feedback unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The monochromatic LED light source emits a light beam, which is irradiated on a beam splitter 103. The beam splitter 103 divides the irradiated light into two beams, one of which is irradiated on the uniform light illumination light path as an output light beam, and the other of which is irradiated on the light source feedback unit as a feedback light beam. The feedback light beam is focused on the first photodetector 108 after being focused by the focusing lens 107. The first photodetector 108 collects the feedback optical signal value, converts the optical signal into a current signal, converts the current signal into a voltage signal through the current-voltage converter 114, filters the voltage signal through the low-pass filter 115, amplifies the signal through the gain amplifier 116, converts the analog signal into a digital signal through the analog-to-digital converter 117, and transmits the digital signal to the controller 118. The controller 118 controls the multi-channel power current driver 119 to independently control the feedback adjustment of the current of the seven-wavelength monochromatic LED.

[0171] The low-pass filter 115 can be an active low-pass filter. The first photodetector 108 can be a photodiode, a photomultiplier tube, an avalanche photodiode, a silicon photomultiplier, or the like.

[0172] Optionally, the PID feedback process is roughly as follows: the controller 118 selects a single-color LED wavelength according to the type of the measured object, sets an initial current value of the wavelength, sets a gain value of the wavelength, sets a target optical signal value of the wavelength, controls the single-color LED light source to be turned on through the multi-channel light source current driver 119, the first photodetector 108 collects the optical signal value as a feedback optical signal value and sends it to the controller 118, the controller 118 compares the feedback optical signal value with the preset target optical signal value, and adjusts the control of the multi-channel light source current driver 119 by using the PID control algorithm to modify the current value required to control the single-color LED, so as to control the intensity of the single-color LED output optical signal value. The PID control algorithm adjusts the current value through proportional, integral and derivative control according to the deviation, cumulative deviation and rate of change of the optical signal value. Through closed-loop control of the single-color LED current, the optical signal value stably converges to the target value, and precise control of the optical signal value is achieved.

[0173] FIG. 15 is a comparison chart of the output optical signal value when PID feedback and non-PID feedback adjustment are performed according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 15, the horizontal axis is time, and the vertical axis is the collected optical signal value. When PID feedback adjustment is performed, the optical signal value reaches stability within 3 ms; when non-PID feedback is performed, the optical signal value shows a downward trend due to self-heating of the single-color LED as the light-on time increases.

[0174] It is worth noting that the feedback adjustment based on PID feedback can be continuously performed to continuously converge the optical signal value output by the single-color LED to the target optical signal value.

[0175] Optionally, the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer further comprises: a transmission device (not shown in the figure); at least one measured dry reagent sheet is placed on the transmission device; each measured dry reagent sheet corresponds to a light measurement hole; the transmission device is driven by the motor to perform transmission, so as to switch the current measured dry reagent sheet; the transmission device is controlled by the timing to perform periodic transmission, so as to complete the switching of each measured dry reagent sheet in each cycle.

[0176] In an implementable manner, the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer provided in the present solution can be used to implement detection of the concentrations of multiple different to-be-measured substances. The reagent sheets corresponding to the different to-be-measured substances are placed on a mechanical transmission device, the reagent sheets correspond to the light measurement holes one by one, the mechanical transmission device is located above the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer, the mechanical transmission device is driven by a motor, and multiple reagent sheets can be periodically tested for light signals within a fixed reaction time. During the light measurement process, the mechanical transmission device is uniformly driven, a driving chip is used, a plurality of single-color LED light sources are quickly switched through a multi-channel analog switch, and only when the light measurement hole is about to reach the light irradiation area, the single-color LED of the wavelength corresponding to the reagent sheet of the hole is turned on, and when the light measurement hole leaves the light irradiation area, the single-color LED is turned off. The mechanical transmission device drives a cycle to complete the light signal test of all reagent sheets in one light measurement cycle. Through timing control, the light signal test of different to-be-measured substances in the entire reaction cycle can be completed by repeating multiple times. According to the light signal value, the reflectance density is calculated, and the reaction curve corresponding to different to-be-measured substances is drawn. The change value or change rate of the reflectance density is obtained through the reaction curve, and finally the concentration of the to-be-measured substance is obtained according to the calibration curve corresponding to the different to-be-measured substances.

[0177] Taking alkaline phosphatase as an example, the concentration of the to-be-measured substance is tested.

[0178] The alkaline phosphatase reagent sheet is mainly used for quantitative analysis of alkaline phosphatase activity in human serum or plasma. The sample is added to the reagent sheet, passes through the diffusion layer and the filter layer, and enters the reagent layer. The reagent layer contains a nitrophenyl phosphate substrate and other components required for the reaction. The alkaline phosphatase in the sample catalyzes the hydrolysis of the nitrophenyl phosphate to nitrophenol and phosphoric acid under alkaline conditions (pH 10.5). The nitrophenol diffuses to the color development layer, and is monitored by reflectance photometry.

[0179] FIG. 16 is a reflectance density spectrum of nitrophenol provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 16, the reflectance density spectrum of nitrophenol is shown in FIG. 16. The reflectance density of nitrophenol is the highest at 400 nm, and the reflectance density is almost zero at 480-700 nm.

[0180] FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of a reaction curve of an alkaline phosphatase reagent sheet according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 17, the reaction curve is obtained by periodically testing the reaction light density of the alkaline phosphatase reagent sheet using a monochromatic LED light source with a central wavelength of 400 nm within a fixed reaction time after sample loading, where the abscissa represents the reaction time and the ordinate represents the reflected light density. The reflected light density of p-nitrophenol changes linearly with time after a certain period of sample loading, and the analysis is performed using a continuous monitoring method. The light density of p-nitrophenol is proportional to the activity of alkaline phosphatase, and the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the sample is calculated by continuously monitoring the change rate of the light density of p-nitrophenol.

[0181] It is worth noting that the reflected light density in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17 is the logarithmic value of reflectivity.

[0182] FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram of a calibration curve of alkaline phosphatase according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The known concentration of alkaline phosphatase sample is added to the dry reagent sheet, and the change rate of the reflected light density is obtained according to the reaction curve. The change rate of the reflected light density is taken as the ordinate, and the sample concentration is taken as the abscissa, and then the calibration curve of alkaline phosphatase is obtained.

[0183] In the sample concentration test analysis, the change rate of the reflected light density of alkaline phosphatase can be obtained based on the reaction curve of alkaline phosphatase. By comparing the calibration curve of alkaline phosphatase, the concentration corresponding to the change rate of the reflected light density of alkaline phosphatase can be determined as the concentration of the alkaline phosphatase to be tested.

[0184] FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram of a uniform light illumination light path according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Optionally, as shown in FIG. 19, the uniform light illumination light path can include:

[0185] The compound eye lens 104 and the integrating lens 105; the compound eye lens 104 includes a first face sub-lens and a second face sub-lens, the first face sub-lens is away from the integrating lens 105, and the second face sub-lens is close to the integrating lens 105.

[0186] The first face sub-lens is used to divide the incident light beam into sub-beams and focus them on the second face sub-lens.

[0187] The second face sub-lens and the integrating lens 105 together superimpose the corresponding sub-beams on the focal plane of the integrating lens 105; the dry reagent sheet 106 to be tested is placed on the focal plane of the integrating lens 105.

[0188] Referring to FIG. 19, the light emitted by the first light source module 101 is refracted by the beam splitter 103 and then irradiates the compound eye lens 104 of the uniform light illumination light path. The light emitted by the second light source module 102 is reflected by the beam splitter 103 and then irradiates the compound eye lens 104.

[0189] The side of the fly-eye lens 104 close to the beam splitter 103 is called the first side sub-lens, and the side of the fly-eye lens 104 close to the integrating lens 105 is called the second side sub-lens. The first side sub-lens of the fly-eye lens 104 divides the incident light beam into sub-beams and focuses the sub-beams on the second side sub-lens array. The second side sub-lens and the integrating lens 105 together superimpose the corresponding sub-beams on the focal plane of the integrating lens 105. The dry reagent sheet 106 to be measured is placed on the focal plane of the integrating lens 105.

[0190] FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram of a light homogenization system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 20, the first sub-lens of the first row divides the incident light beam into sub-beams and focuses the sub-beams on the second sub-lens array of the second row. The second sub-lens and the integrating lens 105 together superimpose the corresponding sub-beams on the focal plane of the integrating lens 105. The thickness of the fly-eye lens 104 is the focal length of the sub-lens. Since the first sub-lens divides the entire wide light beam of the light source into multiple fine light beams, the non-uniformity in each fine light beam range will be smoothed in the superimposition process to obtain uniform illumination.

[0191] Optionally, the integrating lens 105 is preferably a double-cemented lens, which includes a positive lens and a negative lens. The positive lens is made of low-dispersion glass, and the negative lens is made of high-dispersion glass. Of course, the integrating lens 105 can also be a plano-convex lens, a biconvex lens, an aspheric lens, etc.

[0192] In this embodiment, the integrating lens 105 is a double-cemented lens, which uses low-dispersion glass and high-dispersion glass, adopts a positive-negative structure, the positive lens is made of low-dispersion glass and has a small refractive index, and the negative lens is made of high-dispersion glass and has a large refractive index. The two lenses are cemented together to compensate for each other by using the refractive characteristics, thereby eliminating astigmatism and coma. The off-axis light beam passing through the fly-eye lens 104 converges on the back focal plane of the integrating lens 105, forming a light spot with sharp edges and uniform brightness.

[0193] The shape of the light spot can be determined according to the shape of the fly-eye lens 104 selected, and the shape of the light spot includes but is not limited to a rectangle, a circle, a hexagon, etc.

[0194] FIG. 21 is a schematic diagram of another light homogenization system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 21, multiple light sources are designed to be off-axis, and the combination of the fly-eye lens 104 and the integrating lens 105 is used. Regardless of whether the center of the light source is on the central optical axis of the light homogenization illumination light path, the projection of the light source can be superimposed and focused on the same position.

[0195] Combining FIGS. 20 and 21, according to the geometric relationship of the light propagation in the fly-eye lens 104, it can be obtained that:

[0196] The maximum exit aperture angle of the compound eye sub-lens (herein the sub-lens refers to one sub-lens unit in the first surface sub-lens or the second surface sub-lens, both the first surface sub-lens and the second surface sub-lens are composed of multiple sub-lenses) is determined by the size of the target irradiation surface and the focal length of the integrating lens 105, and can be obtained as follows:

[0197] The light beam split by the compound eye lens 104 is a fine light beam, and thus can be approximated as:

[0198] According to the refractive index formula: n sin ω ≈ sin ω', the following can be obtained:

[0199] Thus, the focal length f1 of the compound eye lens 104 can be calculated.

[0200] According to the functional relationship between the radius of curvature of the sub-lens and the focal length f1 of the compound eye lens 104:

[0201] The radius of curvature of the sub-lens can be obtained as:

[0214] FIG. 22 is a schematic diagram of a collection light path according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 22, the collection light path can be arranged at an angle θ with respect to the axis of the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer.

[0215] The light beam after the uniform light treatment via the uniform light illumination light path is irradiated on the surface of the measured dry reagent sheet 106, a part of which is absorbed by the measured dry reagent sheet 106 and a part of which is diffusely reflected. The direction of the diffusely reflected light is random, the collection light path is arranged at an angle θ with respect to the irradiation light path, the diffusely reflected light enters the collection light path, is focused by the first lens 109, the focused light beam passes through the aperture stop 110, the aperture stop 110 is arranged on the image-side focal plane of the first lens 109, the aperture stop 110 is placed parallel to the first lens 109, the light passing through the aperture stop 110 reaches the image plane, the field stop 111 is arranged at the image plane, the field stop 111 is used to limit the detection range on the surface of the measured dry reagent sheet 106, the light passing through the field stop 111 is incident on the second lens 112, and is focused on the second photodetector 113 by the second lens 112.

[0216] In this embodiment, the collection light path is arranged at an angle θ with respect to the axis of the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer, and the angle θ can be 45°, but is not limited thereto.

[0217] FIG. 23 is a schematic diagram of a telecentric optical path according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 23, the aperture stop 110 is placed on the image-side focal plane of the first lens 109 to form a telecentric optical path on the object side. The aperture stop 110 can select a detection light beam, and only a very thin light beam emitted by the main light ray of the measured dry reagent sheet 106 parallel to the optical axis can enter the collection optical path. Therefore, the collection optical path can uniformly collect light rays of the entire illuminated surface of the measured dry reagent sheet 106. When the measured dry reagent sheet 106 is shifted, the main light ray still coincides, and the projection center point is the same. Therefore, the test error caused by the position deviation of the measured surface is reduced.

[0218] FIG. 24 is a schematic diagram of a field stop design optical path according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The optical axis of the collection optical path is arranged at an angle θ with the central normal line of the measured dry reagent sheet 106. Therefore, the angle between the main light ray of the measured dry reagent sheet 106 and the optical axis of the collection optical path in the orthogonal direction is θ. Since the collection optical path collects diffuse reflection light, the angle θ is preferably 30°-60°, but is not limited thereto.

[0219] It should be noted that the aperture stop 110 is placed on the image-side focal plane of the first lens 109 to control the aperture angle u (the angle shown in FIG. 23) of the received diffuse reflection light of the measured dry reagent sheet 106. The diameter of the aperture stop 110 is 2f3tan u, where f3 is the focal length of the first lens 109.

[0220] In the present embodiment, the focal length of the first lens 109 is 15 mm, and the aperture angle u is 5°. Therefore, the diameter of the aperture stop 110 is 2x15xtan5°=2.6 mm.

[0221] Alternatively, the size of the field stop 111 is determined according to the size of the measured region on the measured dry reagent sheet 106 and the first preset angle between the optical axis of the collection optical path and the optical axis of the optical system.

[0222] Referring to FIG. 24, in some embodiments, the field stop 111 is placed on the image plane of the first lens 109 to limit the detection range on the surface of the measured dry reagent sheet 106. The field stop 111 is arranged at an angle θ' with the optical axis of the collection optical path in the orthogonal direction.

[0223] When the measured dry reagent sheet 106 is inclined relative to the optical axis of the collection optical path, the image of the measured dry reagent sheet 106 formed by the first lens 109 is also inclined relative to the optical axis of the collection optical path. The inclination angle of the image plane is calculated as follows:

[0224] Perpendicular magnification

[0225] Axial magnification α=β 2

[0226] Then:

[0227] Wherein, the angle between the measured dry reagent sheet 106 and the optical axis of the collection light path is θ;

[0228] The angle between the field stop 111 and the optical axis of the collection light path is θ';

[0229] The half-height of the measured dry reagent sheet 106 perpendicular to the optical axis of the collection light path is y;

[0230] The half-height of the measured dry reagent sheet 106 parallel to the optical axis of the collection light path is dl;

[0231] The half-height of the image perpendicular to the optical axis of the collection light path is y';

[0232] The half-height of the image parallel to the optical axis of the collection light path is dl'.

[0233] The circularly inclined measured dry reagent sheet 106 is imaged by the first lens 109, and the image is an ellipse, the vertical axis magnification of the major axis of the ellipse is β, and the vertical axis magnification of the minor axis is βcosθ'cosθ+αsinθ' sinθ.

[0234] In this embodiment, θ is 45°, the radius of the detection area of the measured dry reagent sheet 106 is 3mm, and the vertical axis magnification β of the measured dry reagent sheet 106 after imaging by the first lens 109 is-0.5 times, so that: θ'=26.56°

[0235] The ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the elliptical image is about 1:0.79, that is, the major axis of the ellipse is 3mm, and the minor axis is 2.37mm.

[0236] That is, the field stop 111 can be determined as an ellipse with an inclination angle of 26.56°, a major axis of 3mm, and a minor axis of 2.37mm.

[0237] Through the above calculation process, the size of the detection area of the measured dry reagent sheet 106 can be calculated according to the known size of the field stop 111, and the size of the field stop 111 to be set can be calculated according to the known size of the detection area of the measured dry reagent sheet 106.

[0238] Optionally, the controller 118 is specifically configured to determine a light source of a specified wavelength corresponding to the to-be-measured object according to the type of the to-be-measured object, and send a control instruction to the multi-channel light source current driver 119 to control the multi-channel light source current driver 119 to turn on the light source of the specified wavelength.

[0239] It can be known from Table 1 that the detection wavelength corresponding to different analytes is different under different analysis methods. The light source of the specified wavelength corresponding to the analyte can be determined according to the type of the analyte and the analysis method used.

[0240] For example, the analyte is alkaline phosphatase. When the continuous monitoring method is used to analyze the concentration of the analyte, the light source of the specified wavelength corresponding to the analyte is determined to be 400 nm. Then, the controller 118 can send a control instruction to the multi-channel light source current driver 119 according to the determined light source of the specified wavelength, so as to control the multi-channel light source current driver 119 to switch the light source, and to turn on the monochromatic light source with a wavelength of 400 nm at present.

[0241] Alternatively, based on the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer provided in the above embodiment, the detection of multiple different biochemical items can be realized. The reagent sheets of different biochemical items are placed on a mechanical transmission device, and the reagent sheets correspond to the light measurement holes one by one. The mechanical transmission device is located above the optical system of the dry biochemical analyzer. The mechanical transmission device is driven by a motor. Multiple reagent sheets can be periodically tested for light signals within a fixed reaction time. During the light measurement process, the mechanical transmission device is uniformly driven. A driving chip is used to control the rapid switching of multiple monochromatic LED light sources through a multi-channel analog switch. The monochromatic LED of the wavelength corresponding to the reagent sheet of the light measurement hole is turned on when the light measurement hole is about to reach the light irradiation area, and the monochromatic LED is turned off when the light measurement hole leaves the light irradiation area. The mechanical transmission device drives a cycle to complete the light signal test of all reagent sheets within one light measurement cycle. Through timing control, the light signal test of different biochemical detection items within the entire reaction cycle can be completed multiple times. The reflectance density of different biochemical detection items is calculated according to the light signal values of different biochemical detection items within the entire reaction cycle, so as to draw the reaction curves of different biochemical detection items. The change value or rate of the reflectance density of different biochemical detection items is obtained through the reaction curves of different biochemical detection items. Finally, the concentration of the analyte in the sample of different biochemical detection items is obtained according to the corresponding calibration curve of different biochemical detection items.

The sub-lenses in the second single-sided fly's eye lens 104-2 and the integrating lens 105 together superimpose the corresponding sub-beams on the focal plane of the integrating lens 105.

As shown in FIG. 26, the first light source module 101 emits a light beam to the beam splitter 103, which is refracted by the beam splitter 103 and then incident on the fly's eye lens 104. The second light source module 102 emits a light beam to the beam splitter 103, which is reflected by the beam splitter 103 and then incident on the fly's eye lens 104. The first surface sub-lens of the fly's eye lens 104 divides the incident light beam into sub-beams and focuses them on the second surface sub-lens array. The light beams passing through the second surface sub-lens are incident on the glass lens 135, of which a part of the light is reflected by the glass lens 135 and then enters the light source feedback unit, which is focused by the focusing lens 107 and then incident on the first photodetector 108.

Each of the light sources in the first part of the monochromatic light sources is provided with a corresponding dichroic mirror. For example, the first monochromatic light source 122 is provided with the first dichroic mirror 128, the second monochromatic light source 123 is provided with the second dichroic mirror 129, the third monochromatic light source 124 is provided with the third dichroic mirror 130, the fourth monochromatic light source 125 is provided with the fourth dichroic mirror 131, the fifth monochromatic light source 126 is provided with the fifth dichroic mirror 132, and the sixth monochromatic light source 127 is provided with the sixth dichroic mirror 133.
