具体实施方式
本发明提供一种冰箱。图1是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱的示意性结构图。参见图1,本发明涉及的冰箱100包括箱体200和门体300。箱体200内限定有用于储存物品的储物空间,门体300与箱体200相连,且用于打开和/或关闭其储物空间。
特别地,冰箱100还包括微流控检测系统1,微流控检测系统1用于对样本液的预设检测参数进行定性或定量检测,该预设检测参数例如可以为用于表示农残量是否超标和/或农残量的具体数值的农残参数、用于表示营养元素是否达标和/或营养元素具体含量的营养参数、用于表示特定有害物质(例如特定病毒)是否超标和/或具体含量的特定物质参数等等。
图2是根据本发明一个实施例的微流控检测系统的示意性结构图,图3是根据本发明一个实施例的微流控检测系统的示意性结构分解图,图4是根据本发明一个实施例的微流控检测系统内部结构的示意性结构图,图5是根据本发明一个实施例的微流控检测系统内部结构的示意性结构分解图。为了便于理解,图1至图5中还示出了样本杯2。
参见图2至图5,微流控检测系统1可包括微流控生物芯片10、芯片安装机构51、样本液驱动装置40和检测机构20。本领域技术人员可以理解的是,当微流控检测系统用于检测的预设检测参数不同时,其所使用的微流控生物芯片10和检测机构20的具体选择可能也有所不同。例如,当微流控检测系统用于农残检测时,其具有的微流控生物芯片10可以是能够为农残液提供检测条件的微流控农残检测芯片,其具有的检测机构20可以是能够对农残液的农残参数进行检测的农残检测机构。
图6是根据本发明一个实施例的微流控生物芯片的示意性剖视图,微流控生物芯片10具有进样口111、连通端口112、以及形成在其内部的检测池121,进样口111、检测池121、以及连通端口112之间通过微流道14依次连通,从而允许与进样口111接触的样本液流入微流道14并经微流道14流入检测池121。本发明所涉及的微流道14意指过流面积在预设尺寸范围内的细微流道或毛细流道,以使其具有合适的保持其内液体的能力。进样口111和连通端口112可形成在微流控生物芯片10的端部。进一步地,进样口111和连通端口112优选形成在微流控生物芯片10的不同端部。
芯片安装机构51用于安装微流控生物芯片10,以为微流控生物芯片10提供支撑。
样本液驱动装置40与连通端口112密封地连通,以促使与进样口111接触的样本液流入微流道14并经微流道14流向检测池121,从而对进入检测池121的样本液的量和流动速度进行精确地控制。
检测机构20用于对检测池121进行检测,以获取样本液的预设检测参数。具体地,检测池121内可预先设有检测试剂,也可通过人为地或自动地向检测池121内添加检测试剂,以在检测池121内的样本液和其内的检测试剂反应后通过检测机构20对检测池121进行检测。
本发明的冰箱100包括微流控检测系统1,且微流控检测系统1包括用于提供检测条件和检测环境的微流控生物芯片10、用于安装微流控生物芯片10的芯片安装机构51、用于精确地控制样本液流入微流控生物芯片10的样本液驱动装置40、以及用于执行检测操作的检测机构20。这四个模块的结构和功能两方面的组合不但能够顺利地执行进样、检测操作,而且还可通过进样的精确控制确保检测结果的准确性。在此基础上,每个模 块的结构都非常简单,简化了微流控检测系统1的结构,避免其占用冰箱100上过多空间。
在一个具体的实施例中,当检测机构20为用于对农残液的农残参数进行检测的农残检测机构时,可使用酶抑制率法对样本液的农残是否超标进行快速的定性检测。此时,微流控生物芯片10还包括形成在其内部的反应池122,反应池122位于进样口111、检测池121、以及连通端口112依次连通形成的主通道上,并连通在进样口111和检测池121之间,以使得样本液先与反应池122内的反应试剂反应后再流入检测池121。反应池122与进样口111之间、以及反应池122与检测池121之间均通过微通道14连通。用于农残检测的反应试剂和检测试剂可以分别为酶试剂和显色剂。反应池122用于供样本液和其内的酶试剂反应,与酶试剂反应后的样本液流入检测池121,与检测池121内的显色剂进行反应。检测机构20可以选择为光电检测机构,其可以包括分别设置在微流控生物芯片10的两个相对的侧部并均与检测池121正对的光源21和光敏元件22,光源21发出的光照射至检测池121,透过检测池121的光导入光敏元件22,从而利于通过光敏元件22接收到的光强信号判断检测池121内的吸光度变化,进而计算农残抑制率。进一步地,检测机构20还包括用于向检测池121提供热量的加热片24和用于控制加热片24加热功率恒定的温控器25,以使得检测池121内的样本液和检测试剂充分、快速地反应。
在一些实施例中,样本液驱动装置40可邻近地设置在微流控生物芯片10在横向上的旁侧,由此,既保证了微流控生物芯片10和样本液驱动装置40之间结构布局的紧凑性,又可以在微流控生物芯片10内的液体产生泄漏或外排时使液体顺着微流控生物芯片10向下流动或滴落,而不会接触样本液驱动装置40,从而避免了对样本液驱动装置40产生不良影响。
进一步地,样本液驱动装置40可包括悬空设置的驱动电机41。也就是说,驱动电机41仅通过其顶部与支撑结构相连,不与其他结构接触,避免了驱动电机41运行时产生的振动传递至微流控生物芯片10或其他结构,不但可防止对微流控生物芯片10或其他结构的稳定性或性能产生不良影响,而且还减弱了整个微流控检测系统1的振动、降低了其运行噪音。并且,由于驱动电机41使用频率较高,发热量较大,因此,驱动电机41悬空设置还增大了其周围的空间大小,有利于散热。
具体地,样本液驱动装置40可以通过向外抽空气的方式在主通道内形成负压,从而使得与进样口111接触的样本液在负压作用下进入主通道。图7是根据本发明一个实施例的样本液驱动装置和微流控生物芯片及二者相接结构的示意性剖视图。在一些实施例中,样本液驱动装置40可以为微型注射泵,且还包括竖向延伸的注射器42、丝杆43、滑块44和活塞45。注射器42固定在一支架87上,且注射器42的顶部通过连接管路46与微流控生物芯片10顶部的连通端口112密封连通。丝杆43沿竖向延伸,且与驱动电机41相连,以在驱动电机41的驱动下转动。滑块44穿设在丝杆43上,并与丝杆43螺纹连接,以随丝杆43的转动沿丝杆43上下平移。活塞45设置于注射器42的内部,且与滑块44固定连接,以在滑块44的带动下沿上下方向平移,从而在其向下平移时使得主通道内产生负压进而促使与进样口111接触的样本液流入微流道并经微流道流入检测池121、在其向上平移时促使主通道内的样本液向进样口111流动。
样本液驱动装置40还可进一步包括位置传感器,用于配合驱动电机41控制活塞45向上平移和/或向下平移的位移量,进而实现进样的精确控制。同时,还可以通过对活塞 45向上平移和向下平移的位移量进行实时监测,使其执行细微的推抽操作,从而在确保样本液不会经连通端口112流出的前提下对进入主通道内的样本液进行方向相逆的推液和吸液动作,以促使检测池121内的样本液与其内的检测试剂更加均匀地混合或更加充分地反应,提高了检测结果的精准性。
在一些实施例中,样本液驱动装置40通过密封对接机构90与连通端口112之间形成流体密封连接。参见图7,密封对接机构90可包括密封连接件91和弹性施压件92。密封连接件91连接在微流控生物芯片10和样本液驱动装置40之间,且其内形成有贯穿密封连接件91的连接通道。弹性施压件92用于向密封连接件91施加弹性作用力,以使得密封连接件91同时与样本液驱动装置40和微流控生物芯片10密封对接,从而使得样本液驱动装置40和微流控生物芯片10的连通端口112通过密封连接件91内部的连接通道密封地连通。由此,可通过弹性施压件92向密封连接件91施加弹性作用力,以促使密封连接件91始终保持同时与样本液驱动装置40和微流控生物芯片10紧密地密封对接的状态,避免了采用其他对接机构可能导致长时间使用后产生松动、断折等问题,从而确保了样本液驱动装置40和微流控生物芯片10的连通端口112之间长期的、可靠的流体密封连通关系、提高了二者之间的密封效果。
在一些实施例中,样本液驱动装置40与连通端口112之间通过连接管路46连通。连通端口112可形成在微流控生物芯片10的顶部,样本液驱动装置40可邻近地设置在微流控生物芯片10在横向上的旁侧,以避免微流控生物芯片10可能产生的漏液对样本液驱动装置40造成不良影响。连接管路46可与样本液驱动装置40的顶部连通,以跨接在样本液驱动装置40与微流控生物芯片10之间。
进一步地,密封连接件91可包括用于与微流控生物芯片10直接对接的第一连接块912和设置在第一连接块912的背离微流控生物芯片10所在侧的第二连接块913。第一连接块912与第二连接块913之间、以及第二连接块913与连接管路46之间均以插接的方式形成密封连接。
在一些实施例中,弹性施压件92可以为弹簧,弹簧的一端抵接于一固定设置的端板513,另一端抵接于密封连接件91,端板513和微流控生物芯片10分别处于密封连接件91的相对的两侧。具体地,在微流控生物芯片10处于安装状态下,弹簧处于被压缩的状态,从而产生用于促使密封连接件91具有朝向微流控生物芯片10移动趋势的弹性作用力。弹性施压件92的数量可以为两个或两个以上,以增加作用在微流控生物芯片10的弹性作用力大小,并使得微流控生物芯片10受到的弹性作用力更加平衡,避免产生倾斜,进一步提高了密封连接的效果。
进一步地,密封对接机构90还包括导杆93,弹簧套设在导杆93上,以避免弹簧移位。导杆93的一端与密封连接件91固定连接,另一端在微流控生物芯片10与密封连接件91密封对接后与一霍尔开关94接触,从而促使霍尔开关94产生用于表示微流控生物芯片10安装到位的触发信号,以便提示用户,避免了微流控生物芯片10过度安装导致结构损坏,同时还提高了用户的使用体验。
为了提高密封对接机构90与微流控生物芯片10之间的密封性能,本申请还提供了另一种实施例的密封对接机构90和微流控生物芯片10。图8是根据本发明另一个实施例的密封对接机构和微流控生物芯片的示意性剖视分解图,图9是图8中部分A的示意性放大图。其中,图8中隐去了密封对接机构的弹性施压件、导杆等结构。在另一些实施 例中,本发明的微流控生物芯片10的连通端口112处还特别地固定连接有朝外凸出延伸的插接针15,插接针15的内部流道151与连通端口112密封地连通,且插接针15插入密封对接机构90的内部并与密封对接机构90形成流体密封连接。也就是说,密封对接机构90同时与样本液驱动装置40和插接针15流体密封连接,实现了样本液驱动装置40和微流控生物芯片10的连通端口112之间良好的密封连通关系。
具体地,插接针15可插接在密封对接机构90的密封连接件91中。图8和图9所示实施例中的密封连接件91与图7中所示实施例的密封连接件91的结构稍有不同。图8和图9所示实施例中的密封连接件91的第一连接块912的底部可设有供插接针15插入的通孔9121,通孔9121与插接针15之间可通过抵接接触或挤压接触的方式密封配合。插接针15上可开设有用于将其内部流道151与密封对接机构90的内部流体连接的针孔152,针孔152开设在插接针15的处于密封对接机构90内部的区段上,也就是使得插接针15的针孔152处于密封对接机构90的内部,既确保了二者之间畅通良好的流体连通关系,又在很大程度上提高了二者之间的密封性能,避免二者之间的连接处产生漏气、漏液等问题。
进一步地,为了避免密封对接机构90在频繁地插拔插接针15后受到损坏,可以对密封对接机构90的结构强度进行提高,然而这对密封对接机构90的材料要求较高,并且即使采用结构强度较高的材料,在有限次地插拔插接针15后,密封对接机构90仍然会受到结构损坏。为此,本申请的申请人从另一个角度出发,对插接针15的结构进行改进。参见图9,插接针15的延伸末端的端面153呈连续且平滑的半球面,插接针15的用于与密封对接机构90流体连通的针孔152形成在插接针15的处于密封对接机构90内部的区段的周向侧面154。由此,在将设有插接针15的微流控生物芯片10与密封对接机构90密封对接时,插接针15与密封对接机构90的接触面是平滑的球面,减小了插接针15与密封对接机构90之间的摩擦,因此不会划伤或刺破密封对接机构90,确保了密封对接机构90长期保持较好的密封对接功能,提高了微流控检测系统1的使用寿命,同时,还降低了对密封对接机构90的结构强度的要求。
需要说明的是,插接针15的延伸末端意指插接针15伸入密封对接机构90内部的一端。进一步地,针孔152可形成在插接针15邻近其延伸末端的区段的周向侧面,由此,即使插接针15插入密封对接机构90的区段不长,仍然可以确保插接针15与密封对接机构90之间的流体连通关系。
更进一步地,参见图8和图9,插接针15经连通端口112插接在微流控生物芯片10的内部,插接针15伸入微流控生物芯片10内部的始端敞开,以便于与微流道14连通,从而与连通端口112连通。插接针15与连通端口112的配合界面处可通过密封胶16密封,以增强插接针15与微流控生物芯片10之间的密封性能。
在一些替代性实施例中,插接针15也可以与微流控生物芯片10一体成型。
在一些实施例中,微流控检测系统1还包括芯片退出机构52,用于可操作地解除芯片安装机构51对微流控生物芯片10的支撑作用,以释放微流控生物芯片10。由此,用户可通过操作芯片退出机构52解除芯片安装机构51与微流控生物芯片10的支撑作用,从而释放微流控生物芯片10,用户即可轻易地取出微流控生物芯片10或者微流控生物芯片10可在其自身的重力作用下掉落,简化了用户的操作过程,提高了用户更换微流控生物芯片10的操作便利性。
进一步地,芯片退出机构52可裸露于冰箱100的外部,便于用户实施芯片退出操作,无论微流控检测系统1自身的结构布局以及其集成于冰箱后的整体结构布局有多紧凑,都不会影响微流控生物芯片10的拆卸操作,提高了用户的使用体验。
图10是根据本发明一个实施例的微流控生物芯片、芯片安装机构和芯片退出机构的示意性结构图。在一些实施例中,芯片安装机构51可包括相对设置的两个弹性夹爪511,以向处于两个弹性夹爪511之间的微流控生物芯片10施加相向作用力,从而使得微流控生物芯片10夹持在两个弹性夹爪511之间。并且,芯片退出机构52设置成可操作地向两个弹性夹爪511施加方向相反的作用力,以促使两个弹性夹爪511朝相互背离的方向产生弹性变形,从而解除两个弹性夹爪511对微流控生物芯片10的夹持作用。
具体地,芯片退出机构52可包括悬垂在微流控生物芯片10一侧的悬臂按键521和由悬臂按键521的朝向微流控生物芯片10的内侧向逐渐靠近微流控生物芯片10的方向凸出延伸的抵接块522,抵接块522同时与两个弹性夹爪511的相向设置的内侧抵接,以在悬臂按键521受到朝向微流控生物芯片10的作用力时通过抵接块522向两个弹性夹爪511的内侧施加朝外的作用力,从而使得两个弹性夹爪511朝相互背离的外侧方向弹性变形。也就是说,当需要拆卸微流控生物芯片10时,用户只需要按压悬臂按键521即可解除两个弹性夹爪511对微流控生物芯片10的夹持作用,从而释放微流控生物芯片10,操作非常简便,且芯片退出机构52的结构非常简单,设计非常巧妙。
抵接块的分别与两个弹性夹爪511的内侧相抵的两个相对的侧面沿逐渐靠近微流控生物芯片10的方向相向倾斜,以确保悬臂按键521按压操作的顺畅性,避免出现卡顿等现象。具体地,抵接块大致可呈等腰梯形,等腰梯形的下底与悬臂按键521相连,等腰梯形的两个腰分别与两个弹性夹爪511的内侧相抵接。
在一些实施例中,微流控检测系统1还包括样品台70,样品台70用于放置样本杯2,样本杯2用于盛放样本液。并且,样品台70设置成受控地或可操作地运动,以通过样品台70将放置于其上的样本杯2输送至允许样本杯2中的样本液与微流控生物芯片10的进样口111相接触的位置。由此,实现了微流控生物芯片10的加样。用户只需要将样本杯2放置在样品台70上,或者,在将样本杯2放置在样品台70后再将样品台70移动至与微流控生物芯片10的进样口111相接触的位置即可,加样操作非常便捷,省时省力。并且,本申请通过将样品台70设置成可动的,省去了样本液输送泵、输送管路、采样针等复杂的结构,使得微流控检测系统1的结构非常简单,从而避免占用冰箱过多空间。
进一步地,微流控生物芯片10可设置在样品台70的上方,进样口111位于微流控生物芯片10的底部以便于进样口111与放置在样品台70上的样本杯2中的样本液接触。微流控检测系统1还包括用于驱动样品台70上下移动的升降机构60,以使得样品台70在允许置于样品台70上的样本杯2中的样本液与进样口111接触的检测位置和处于检测位置下方预设距离的初始位置之间切换。也就是说,样品台70可以通过升级机构60自动升降,进一步简化了用户的操作,提高了微流控检测系统的自动化程度。
图11是根据本发明一个实施例的升降机构和样品台处于分解状态的示意性结构图。在一些实施例中,升降机构60可包括升降电机61、传动丝杆62和螺母63。升降电机61用于输出驱动力。传动丝杆62沿竖直方向设置,且与升降电机61的输出轴相连,以在升降电机61的驱动下转动。螺母63穿设在传动丝杆62上,并与传动丝杆62螺纹连接,以随传动丝杆62的转动沿传动丝杆62上下移动。样品台70与螺母63固定连接,以通 过螺母63带动样品台70上下移动。
进一步地,升降机构60还包括滑轨64和滑块65。滑轨64与传动丝杆62相平行地设置在传动丝杆62的旁侧,滑块65可移动地设置在滑轨64上,样品台70与滑块65固定连接,以通过滑轨64和滑块65的配合引导样品台70上下移动。具体地,样品台70在驱动模块的作用下沿上下方向移动时带动滑块65同步移动,滑块65被限制在滑轨64上,滑轨64对滑块65的移动具有引导和限位的作用,从而间接地对样品台70产生引导和限位作用,避免了样品台70在移动过程中产生偏移或卡顿,提高了样品台70运动的平稳性。具体地,样品台70可包括穿设在传动丝杆62中并与螺母63固定相连的水平连接板74以及垂直于水平连接板74向上延伸的竖直连接板75,竖直连接板75与滑块65固定连接。
在一些实施例中,升降机构60还包括限位开关66,限位开关66邻近传动丝杆62的上部设置,以在样品台70向上移动至触碰到限位开关66时促使升降电机61停止运行。并且,限位开关66的位置设置成当升降电机61在限位开关66的触发下停止运行时使得样品台70处于其检测位置。升降电机61不运行时可使样品台70保持在其检测位置。本申请通过限位开关66来定位样品台70的检测位置,定位精准,可避免样品台70超出其检测位置继续移动导致样品台70、微流控生物芯片10等结构损坏的问题。
在一些实施例中,样品台70可包括支撑台71和振荡器72。支撑台71用于支撑样本杯2。具体地,支撑台71可以为水平放置的支撑板,支撑板上可设置用于供样本杯2的底部放置于其内的凹槽,以在样品台70的移动过程中避免样本杯2倾倒或晃动,提高了样本杯2放置的稳固性。支撑台71与水平连接板74固定连接。
振荡器72设置于支撑台71上,用于在支撑台71上放置样本杯2后对样本杯2进行振荡,以使得样本杯2中的缓冲液和样本充分混合后产生样本液,从而使得样本上的待检测物质充分地溶解到缓冲液中得到合适浓度的样本液。缓冲液可以通过手动添加的方式预置在样本杯2中,也可以在样本杯2放置在样品台70后通过驱动装置自动地输送至样本杯2。
在一些实施例中,样品台70还包括称重传感器73,称重传感器73设置于支撑台71的下方,以用于测称样本杯2中样本的重量,从而允许缓冲液驱动装置30将与样本重量相匹配的预设量的缓冲液输送至样本杯2。通常情况下,家庭用户对样本的提取是比较随意的,比如随意撕下一小片菜叶,因此,为了保证测量结果的准确性,输入样本杯2中的缓冲液的量需要与样本的量相匹配,这样才能够产生合适浓度的样本液。本申请通过置于支撑台71下方的称重传感器73可自动地、精确地获得样本的重量,从而自动控制缓冲液驱动装置30向样本杯2中输入匹配量的缓冲液,既保证了测量结果的准确性,又避免了用户手动测称样本导致使用不便、操作繁琐、误差较大等诸多问题,进一步提高了微流控检测系统的自动化程度和用户的使用体验。
需要说明的是,在一些替代性实施例中,样品台70可以为固定的,微流控农残检测芯片10设置成可动的,同样能够便于取样操作。
在一些实施例中,微流控检测系统1还包括缓冲液瓶36和缓冲液驱动装置30。缓冲液瓶36用于容装缓冲液。缓冲液驱动装置30与缓冲液瓶36连通,以受控地驱动缓冲液瓶36内的缓冲液进入放置在样品台70上的样本杯2,从而使缓冲液与样本杯2中的样本混合后产生样本液。具体地,缓冲液瓶36与缓冲液驱动装置30之间通过引入管32连通。 缓冲液驱动装置30的引出管31延伸至样本台70。这主要是针对被检测的样本为固态样本,需要利用缓冲液将固态样本上的待检测物质溶解到其中从而形成样本液;或者,样本为液态样本,但是浓度过高,需要利用缓冲液对其进行稀释后产生样本液。例如,在进行农残检测时,被检测的样本通常为表皮、叶片等固体的食材残片,需要将样本置于缓冲液中,样本上的残留农药溶解到缓冲液中,从而形成样本液。
具体地,缓冲液驱动装置30可以为蠕动泵、隔膜泵或其他合适类型的驱动装置。蠕动泵或隔膜泵在运行时会在其径向上产生较大的振动,为了避免该振动传递至微流控生物芯片10,蠕动泵或隔膜泵的径向外侧可设有弹性减振件35。弹性减振部件35可套设在缓冲液驱动装置30的外部,并通过支架87和固定块89的夹持作用支撑在壳体80内,固定块89可固定在支撑板86上。
在一些实施例中,微流控检测系统1还包括壳体80,芯片安装机构51、样本液驱动装置40、检测机构20和微流控生物芯片10的至少一部分均设置在壳体80内。壳体80上设有用于与冰箱100的箱体或门体相连的第一结构连接件81、以及用于在微流控检测系统1与冰箱100的电控装置之间形成电连接的第一电连接件82,以允许微流控检测系统1作为一个整体安装至冰箱100的箱体或门体。
进一步地,壳体80上形成有朝向其前侧敞开的操作台83,样品台70至少部分地位于操作台83中,从而便于用户在操作台83中实施放置样本杯2、取出样本杯2等操作。操作台83中可设有处于样品台70下方的接水盒88,以承接可能滴落的液体,避免污染操作台83。
在一些实施例中,微流控检测系统1还包括电路板53、显示装置56和开关按键57,电路板53设置于壳体80内,且与壳体80上的第一电连接件82电连接。微流控检测系统1的用电部件(例如升降机构60、缓冲液驱动装置30、样本液驱动装置40、检测机构20、显示装置56、开关按键57等)均直接或间接地与电路板53电连接。显示装置56设置在壳体80的前侧,且与电路板53电连接,以用于显示检测机构20的检测结果。开关按键57设置在壳体80的前侧,且与电路板53电连接,以用于启动和/或关闭微流控检测系统1的检测功能。也就是说,用户可通过操作开关按键57启动、暂停或停止微流控检测系统1的检测功能。
在一些实施例中,壳体80可包括处于后侧的后壳84和连接在后壳84前侧的前面板85。后壳84与前面板85组装后在二者之间限定处容纳腔。并且,壳体80的容纳腔内还设有支撑板86和支架87。支撑板86与后壳84固定连接,升降机构60的至少部分结构(如升降机构的不可动部分)和缓冲液驱动装置30均固定在支撑板86上。支架87固定连接在支撑板86的前侧,微流控生物芯片10和样本液驱动装置40均直接或间接地支撑在支架87上。由此,可通过支撑板86与支架87将升降机构60、缓冲液驱动装置30、微流控生物芯片10和样本液驱动装置40稳固地支撑在后壳84与前面板85之间形成的容纳腔内。
在一些实施例中,升降机构60可设置在样品台70在横向上的旁侧,缓冲液驱动装置30可设置在微流控生物芯片10在横向上的一侧,并位于升降机构60的上方,样本液驱动装置40位于微流控生物芯片10在横向上的另一侧,缓冲液瓶36位于样本液驱动装置40的背离微流控生物芯片10的一侧。这样布局后的微流控生物芯片10、样品台70、升降机构60、缓冲液驱动装置30、样本液驱动装置40和缓冲液瓶36充分地利用了各个 模块在竖直方向和横向上的尺寸特征,使得各个模块的布局更加紧凑,尽可能地减小占用空间。并且,各个模块之间仅在竖直方向上和横向上并排设置,尽可能地缩小了微流控检测系统1在前后方向上的厚度,以使其更加适宜于集成在冰箱上。
进一步地,缓冲液驱动装置30和升降机构60之间还可设有横向延伸的隔板861,以避免缓冲液驱动装置30可能产生的漏液滴落在升降机构60上对升降机构60的正常运行产生影响。隔板861可固定在支撑板86上。
在一些实施例中,微流控检测装置1设置于门体300上,不但操作起来比较方便,而且还不会占用箱体200内原有的储物空间,不会对冰箱100本身的储物能力产生影响。
图12是根据本发明一个实施例的门体的示意性结构分解图。在一些实施例中,门体300的前侧具有镂空窗口301,微流控检测系统1的样品台70经镂空窗口301暴露于门体300的前侧,由此,可在不必打开门体300的情况下允许用户向样品台70放置样品杯,避免每次检测都要打开门体300导致冷量泄露严重的问题,确保了冰箱100的保温性能,节省了能耗。
具体地,门体300可包括用于形成其前部的面板302、用于形成其后部的门衬303以及设置在面板302和门衬303之间的发泡保温层(图中未示出),镂空窗口301开设在面板302上。面板302和门衬303之间在形成发泡保温层之前预埋有一预埋盒304,微流控检测系统1设置在预埋盒304内。也就是说,预埋盒304是在门体300发泡之前预先设置在面板302和门衬303之间的,用于在面板302和门衬303之间预留出用于安装微流控检测系统1的空间。
进一步地,预埋盒304贴设于面板302的后向表面,且预埋盒304的前侧敞开,并正对镂空窗口301,以允许微流控检测系统1经镂空窗口301从前往后地安装至预埋盒304内,提高了微流控检测系统1安装的便利性。
具体地,预埋盒304上可设有与第一结构连接件81匹配连接的第二结构连接件305和与第一电连接件82电连接的第二电连接件306,第二电连接件306与冰箱100的电控装置电连接。由此,通过在预埋盒304和壳体80上设置相应的结构连接件和电连接件使得微流控检测系统1作为一个整体安装至门体300上,从而在结构和电路两个方面实现整个微流控检测系统1与冰箱100之间的连接。由此,不但简化了微流控检测系统1的装配过程,而且便于微流控检测系统1的拆卸或维修。
本申请的冰箱100为广义上的冰箱,其不但包括通常所说的狭义上的冰箱,而且还包括具有冷藏、冷冻或其他储物功能的储物装置,例如,冷藏箱、冷柜等等。
本领域技术人员还应理解,本发明实施例中所称的“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“顶”、“底”等用于表示方位或位置关系的用语是以冰箱100的实际使用状态为基准而言的,这些用语仅是为了便于描述和理解本发明的技术方案,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或不见必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本发明的限制。
至此,本领域技术人员应认识到,虽然本文已详尽示出和描述了本发明的多个示例性实施例,但是,在不脱离本发明精神和范围的情况下,仍可根据本发明公开的内容直接确定或推导出符合本发明原理的许多其他变型或修改。因此,本发明的范围应被理解和认定为覆盖了所有这些其他变型或修改。
