As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid suction amount measuring device 100 in a first embodiment, and the liquid suction amount measuring device 100 in this embodiment includes a sampling mechanism 110 and a measuring mechanism 120.
Specifically, the sampling mechanism 110 includes a sampling needle 111, a tube assembly 112 connected to the sampling needle 111, and a power assembly 113 connected to the tube assembly 112, and the measuring mechanism 120 includes a measuring container 121 and a measuring sensor 122.
Where the tubing assembly 112 is a tubing system connecting the sampling needle 111 and the power assembly 113, it may include valves, tubing, and other related components. The power assembly 113 is used for providing suction force for sucking the liquid to be measured and driving force for moving the liquid to be measured, and is specifically used for driving the sampling needle 111 to suck the liquid to be measured through the pipeline assembly 112 in the embodiment, and transferring the liquid to be measured into the measuring container 121. The measurement container 121 is a container for containing a liquid sample to be measured, and the measurement sensor 122 is used for performing liquid suction measurement on the liquid sample to be measured contained in the measurement container 121, thereby obtaining the liquid suction amount of the sampling needle.
As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid suction amount measurement device 100 in a second embodiment, where the liquid suction amount measurement device 100 in this embodiment further includes a first switching member 131 and a second switching member 132, specifically may be a two-way electromagnetic valve or a pinch valve, and may switch the on/off state of a connecting pipeline. The tubing assembly includes a first tubing 112a, a second tubing 112b, and a third tubing 112c that form a fluid flow path during aspiration and normal measurement.
Specifically, a first end of the first pipeline 112a is connected to the sampling needle 111, a second end of the first pipeline 112a is connected to the measuring mechanism 120, a first end of the second pipeline 112b is connected to the measuring mechanism 120, a second end of the second pipeline 112b is connected to the power unit 113, a first end of the third pipeline 112c is connected to the first end of the first pipeline 112a, and a second end of the third pipeline 112c is connected to the second end of the second pipeline 112 b.
The first switching element 131 is disposed on the first pipeline 112a or the second pipeline 112b for communicating or cutting off the first pipeline 112a or the second pipeline 112b, and the second switching element 132 is disposed on the third pipeline 112c for communicating or cutting off the third pipeline 112 c.
When liquid measurement is required, the first switching member 131 is opened, the second switching member 132 is closed, and suction force is provided by the power assembly 113, so that the liquid to be measured can be ensured to flow into the measurement container 121 from the sampling needle 111 through the first pipeline 112a for liquid absorption measurement, and then flow out from the second pipeline 112b after measurement. During normal sucking operation, the first switching member 131 is closed and the second switching member 132 is opened, so that the liquid to be measured can be ensured to directly flow out from the sampling needle 111 through the third pipeline 112c, and interference of the measuring container 121 is avoided. It can be seen that, in this embodiment, on the premise of correctly switching the switching states of the first switching member 131 and the second switching member 132, the switching of the measurement and normal suction functions can be performed to meet different operation requirements.
As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid suction amount measurement device 100 in a third embodiment, where the liquid suction amount measurement device 100 in this embodiment further includes a third switching member 133, which may be a three-way electromagnetic valve or a mechanical valve, and may switch the on/off state of the connecting pipeline. The tubing assembly includes a fourth tubing 112d, a fifth tubing 112e, and a sixth tubing 112f, which also form the fluid flow path during aspiration and normal measurement.
Specifically, the third switching element 133 is connected to the sampling needle 111, the first end of the fourth pipeline 112d, and the first end of the sixth pipeline 112f, and is used for implementing communication or disconnection between the fourth pipeline 112d and the sixth pipeline 112f, the second end of the fourth pipeline 112d is connected to the measurement mechanism 120, the first end of the fifth pipeline 112e is connected to the measurement mechanism 120, the second end of the fifth pipeline 112e is connected to the power unit 113, and the second end of the sixth pipeline 112f is connected to the second end of the fifth pipeline 112 e.
Similarly, when liquid measurement is required, the third switching member 133 controls the sampling needle 111 to communicate with the fourth pipeline 112d, and the passage between the sampling needle 111 and the sixth pipeline 112f is cut off, so that suction is provided by the power unit 113, and it is ensured that the liquid to be measured flows from the sampling needle 111 into the measurement container 121 through the fourth pipeline 112d for liquid suction measurement, and then flows out from the fifth pipeline 112e after measurement. During normal sucking operation, the third switching member 133 controls the passage between the sampling needle 111 and the fourth pipe 112d to be cut off, and the sampling needle 111 communicates with the sixth pipe 112f, so that it is ensured that the liquid to be measured directly flows out from the sampling needle 111 through the sixth pipe 112f, and interference of the measuring mechanism 120 is avoided. It can be seen that, in this embodiment, on the premise of correctly switching the on/off state of the third switching member 133, the measurement and normal suction functions can be switched to meet different operation requirements.
As shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid suction amount measuring device 100 in a fourth embodiment, in which a power assembly 113 includes a stroke driver 113a and a power pump 113b, the power pump 113b is connected to a pipeline assembly 112 and is used for driving a sampling needle 111 to suck a liquid to be measured through the pipeline assembly 112, the stroke driver 113a is used for driving the sampling needle 111 to be transferred to an opening of a measuring container 121, and the power pump 113b is also used for driving the sampling needle 111 to discharge the liquid to be measured through the pipeline assembly 112.
Specifically, in position a, the power pump 113b draws a sample from the fluid to be measured through the line assembly 112, and introduces the fluid into the line assembly 112. The sampling needle 111 is controlled by the stroke driver 113a and moved to the position B at the opening of the measurement container 121. At position B, the power pump 113B again acts on the sampling needle 111 through the line assembly 112, but this time acts to discharge the liquid to be measured in the sampling needle 111 into the measurement receptacle 121 via the line assembly 112. By this design, the device can perform operations from drawing the liquid to be measured to discharging it.
In one embodiment, the measuring sensor 122 includes a gravity sensor for measuring an initial weight of the measuring container 121 when the liquid to be measured is not contained therein, and a current weight of the measuring container 121 after the liquid to be measured is contained therein, so as to obtain a unit liquid suction amount of the liquid to be measured by the sampling needle 111.
Further, the calculation formula of the unit liquid absorption amount is as follows:
V=(m2-m1)/(ρ*/n)
In the above, V indicates a unit liquid suction amount, m1 indicates an initial weight, m2 indicates a current weight, ρ indicates a density of a sample, and n indicates a preset number of times the sampling needle 111 suctions the liquid to be measured.
The purpose of this formula is to calculate the unit liquid suction by measuring the initial and current weights, divided by the density and the number of samples. Such a design allows for a more accurate quantification of the amount of liquid drawn each time, facilitating liquid metering and analysis in an experimental or industrial process.
Further, after the current measurement of the liquid amount to be measured is completed, the power assembly 113 is further configured to drive the sampling needle 111 to suck the cleaning liquid through the pipeline assembly 112, transfer the cleaning liquid into the measurement container 121 for cleaning and remove the waste liquid generated during the cleaning, and the gravity sensor is further configured to measure the cleaning weight of the measurement container 121 after the cleaning.
Wherein a cleaning fluid is used to clean any residual sample within the measurement receptacle 121. This helps to avoid cross-contamination between samples, ensuring accuracy of subsequent samples. The cleaning weight, i.e., the net weight of the measurement container 121 after cleaning, ensures that no residue remains in the sample container by comparing the cleaning weight with the initial weight, thereby maintaining the accuracy and reliability of the next sampling.
In one embodiment, the measurement sensor 122 is a pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor is used to measure the pressure of the liquid in the measurement container 121 to obtain the liquid absorption amount of the liquid to be measured. Specifically, the pressure sensor can sense the pressure exerted by the liquid on the container wall, and based on the pressure, the known parameters such as the liquid density and gravity can be used for calculating the liquid absorption amount of the liquid to be detected through a corresponding physical formula.
In one embodiment, the measuring sensor 122 is a liquid level sensor, and the liquid level sensor is used for measuring the liquid level of the liquid to be measured in the measuring container 121 to obtain the liquid absorption amount of the liquid to be measured. In particular, the level sensor may typically detect the position of the liquid surface, thereby determining the level of the liquid. Based on the level, the known shape and cross-sectional area of the container can be used to calculate the liquid suction amount of the liquid to be measured by simple geometric calculation or calibration data provided by the liquid level sensor.
The invention also provides a sample analyzer 001, as shown in fig. 5, the sample analyzer 001 comprises a detection device 200 and a liquid absorption amount measuring device 100, the power assembly 113 is further used for driving the sampling needle 111 to absorb the liquid to be detected through the pipeline assembly 112, transferring the liquid to be detected to the detection device 200, and the detection device 200 is used for detecting and analyzing the liquid to be detected. The detection device 200 may include a sensor, an optical device, an electronic component, or other technical equipment suitable for detection and analysis.
