Nucleic Acid Sample Processing Transfer Structure for Compact Testing

The patent combines the gripper and transfer part into a single integrated structure. The gripper is movably arranged on the transfer part, allowing the transfer part to carry consumables between modules while the gripper performs picking and placing operations. This merging eliminates the need for separate transfer mechanisms for each module, significantly reducing the overall apparatus volume while maintaining extraction operation capability.

The transfer part is designed as a universal platform that can transport multiple types of consumables (extraction plates, amplification plates, reagent bottles) between different modules. The gripper can adapt to grasp different consumable types, making the transfer system multi-functional rather than requiring dedicated transfer mechanisms for each consumable type.

The gripper is designed with movable arrangement on the transfer part, allowing it to dynamically adjust its position and orientation when transferring different consumables. The gripper can rotate and translate relative to the transfer part, enabling it to access various modules and consumable types from a compact base position, thus maintaining ease of operation without requiring a large static operation area.

The gripper's movement is enabled in multiple dimensions through its movable arrangement on the transfer part. Instead of requiring a large two-dimensional operation area, the gripper utilizes vertical movement, rotation, and translation along the transfer part to access different modules, effectively using three-dimensional space to reduce the required footprint area.
