, gear 16 and line slideway are fixed seat 34 and are arranged on the same side of frame, corresponding tooth bar 43 and line slideway about 40
Parallel juxtaposition.Thus, the inner space of the automatic moving liquid instrument of the pipetting device using the present invention can be greatly saved.At other
In embodiment, gear 16 and line slideway fix seat 34 can also be arranged on other suitable position of mobile foundation, can
Realize driving the mobile foundation fixed with the slide block of line slideway to move horizontally along the slide rail direction of tooth bar and line slideway.
The pipetting device of the described preferred embodiment of the present invention also has the pipetting head being fixedly mounted on mobile bar 7 lower end.Move
Liquid head is the mechanism for functions such as liquid sensing, extractings, includes the parts realizing these functions.In the illustrated embodiment,
This pipetting head includes pipet stand 27, de-pipe box cylinder 28, conduit 26, limited block 31, liquid transfer gun head 30 and liquid level detector 25.Its
In, pipet stand 27 is used for setting up liquid level detector 25 and conduit 26, and conduit 26 is used for connecting liquid transfer gun head, limited block 31.De-
Pipe box cylinder 28 reaches, for realizing liquid transfer gun head and separating with conduit, the purpose automatically changed.Due to liquid transfer gun head and conduit
Combination closely, de-pipe box cylinder needs to realize liquid transfer gun head in the least distance range and separates with conduit.The present invention
The design of pipetting device pipetting head make de-pipe box cylinder can reach this purpose.Liquid level detector can be used for sensing pipetting head
Distance between liquid and liquid transfer gun head in the normal fluid container (such as 8 orifice plates, 96 orifice plates) of lower section, signal is fed back to from
Dynamic work station, and the most under program signal is fed back to the instrument of manipulation pipetting device.
The full-automatic liquor removing workstation of the present invention can assemble four or eight described pipetting devices.Described four or eight institutes
Stating pipetting device can independent horizontal or the movement of vertical direction, it is possible to synchronize occurred level or the movement of vertical direction, and adjacent
Two pipetting devices there is identical horizontal range change so that adjacent liquid transfer gun head occurs identical horizontal range to become
Change.
Fig. 5 is the three-dimensional signal of another angle of part-structure of the full-automatic liquor removing workstation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention
Figure.
The full-automatic liquor removing workstation of the present invention generally assembles four or eight described pipetting devices, and described eight are moved liquid machine
Structure is divided into parallel two group, and often four pipetting devices of group assemble side by side, and often the mobile bar of four pipetting devices of group is arranged in one
On straight line, the line slideway on the mobile foundation of adjacent two pipetting devices is fixed seat 34 and is separately fixed at line slideway fixed block
Top half on 35 or the latter half, the mobile foundation of two in the most same group of four pipetting devices can be respectively with same
Two slide blocks of one line slideway connect (fixing seat and line slideway fixed bit by line slideway), thus are greatly saved and adopt
Inner space with the automatic moving liquid instrument of the pipetting device of the present invention.The full-automatic liquor removing workstation of the present invention often organizes four
The mobile bar of individual pipetting device arranges point-blank, is crisscross arranged with the mobile bar of another four pipetting devices of group so that
The liquid transfer gun head of eight described pipetting devices can arrange point-blank.
The multi-channeled transposition arrangement of eight pipetting device formation can process the marks such as 8 orifice plates, 24 orifice plates, 96 orifice plates easily
Quasi-liquid container.The most each pipetting device can move up and down independently.
The invention described above liquor removing workstation can be used for sensing liquid, detect, draw and the operation such as discharge, thus real
The transfer of existing liquid.
Present invention also offers the pipetting device of the invention described above, multi-channeled transposition arrangement or full-automatic liquor removing workstation to use
In liquid being sensed, detect, draw and discharging, thus realize the purposes of the transfer of liquid.
In operation, the whole workflow of the liquor removing workstation of the invention described above preferred embodiment is as follows:
Carry out the absorption of liquid needing the normal fluid container (such as 8 orifice plates, 96 orifice plates) to below pipetting head or put
When going out action, pipetting device is made to move to above normal fluid container under program.Under liquid level detector sensing pipetting head
Distance between normal fluid liquid in containers and the liquid transfer gun head of side, feeds back to control system by signal, can be by mobile bar
Driving motor 13 to make screw mandrel rotate, screw mandrel makes vertical at mobile foundation left frame of mobile bar 7 by drive connection part 17
Do in hole and move vertically, thus realize moving up and down of fluid suction head.Need to carry out the shifting in horizontal direction when moving liquid-based seat
Time dynamic, gear drive motor 12 drives the rotation in gear 16 occurred level direction, thus drives mobile foundation by leading with straight line
The slide block of rail is fixed, and can linearly move horizontally by guide rail.
The design of the pipetting device of the present invention makes in using its liquor removing workstation that each pipetting device can be the most only
On the spot carrying out horizontal or vertical movement, there is no annexation from each other. such structure arranges and makes integrally-built cloth
Office is more reasonable, and definitely, difficulty and the complexity of its assembling and setting are the most greatly reduced space.Carry out
During the maintenance of pipetting device, only pipetting channel maintenance that wherein certain damages need to be changed, it is not necessary to relate to other passages
Dismounting.
Additionally, the liquor removing workstation of the present invention controls the parts many employings self-lubricating in the mechanism that pipetting head moves, exempts from
Prepared by the high molecular polymer safeguarded, it is to avoid or greatly reduce the operation being lubricated it, it is to avoid oils lubricator
The pollution that pipetting is likely to cause.
Although example embodiment and advantage thereof about the present invention are described in detail, it should be understood that without departing from the present invention
Spiritual and defined in the appended claims protection domain in the case of, these embodiments can be carried out various change, replacement
And amendment.For other examples, those of ordinary skill in the art is it should be readily appreciated that within keeping scope
Meanwhile, the order of processing step can change.
Additionally, the range of application of the present invention is not limited to the technique of specific embodiment described in description, mechanism, system
Make, material composition, means, method and step.From the disclosure, will be easily as those of ordinary skill in the art
Ground understands, for the technique having existed at present or will having developed later, mechanism, manufacture, material composition, means, method or
Step, wherein they perform the knot that the function that is substantially the same of corresponding embodiment or acquisition with present invention description are substantially the same
Really, they can be applied according to the present invention.Therefore, claims of the present invention are intended to these technique, mechanism, system
