The first opening 11 is matched with the second opening 21, that is, the first opening 11 can be directly abutted with the second opening 21, in this embodiment, the cavity wall of the amplifying part 1 in the first opening 11 can be sleeved in the cavity wall of the diluting part 2 in the second opening 21, so that the stability of connection is improved; the amplification reagent is arranged in the amplification cavity 12, the buffer solution is arranged in the dilution cavity 23, the sample is obtained after the buffer solution is mixed with the amplification product, and the sensitivity and the detection rate of the buffer solution can be improved.

It should be noted that the sealing ring 6 is provided at the joint between the amplification unit 1 and the dilution unit 2, so that the sealability of the sample storage unit can be further improved.
Specifically, when nucleic acid detection is performed, a nucleic acid sample and an amplification reagent are added into an amplification part 1, the amplification part 1 and a dilution part 2 are connected to form a sample storage unit, and the sample storage unit is uniformly shaken to complete a nucleic acid amplification reaction; the puncture part 3 is moved along the direction close to the second opening 21, so that the puncture part 3 punctures the sealing membrane 4, the amplification cavity 12 is communicated with the dilution cavity 23 to form a closed cavity, and the closed cavity is uniformly shaken to finish dilution; the sample storage unit is connected with the detection part 5, the closed cavity is communicated with the detection cavity, and the sample in the closed cavity flows into the detection cavity and performs detection reaction with the detection test paper 54 to complete detection.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, 5 and 6, the piercing portion 3 includes a piercing rod body, and a piercing cone 31, a first limiting portion 32 and a second limiting portion 33 are sequentially disposed on the piercing rod body along a direction away from the sealing film 4.
When the puncture rod body is not pushed, the puncture cone 31 is positioned in the dilution cavity 23 and is used for puncturing the sealing membrane 4; the first limiting part 32 is positioned in the dilution cavity 23 and is used for preventing the puncture rod body from sliding out of the closed cavity; the second stopper 33 is located outside the dilution chamber 23 for preventing the puncture cone 31 from contacting the sealing membrane 4 before diluting the amplified product (amplified nucleic acid sample).
Specifically, after the amplification part 1 and the dilution part 2 are connected to form a sample storage unit, the first limiting part 32 prevents the puncture rod body from sliding out of the closed cavity, so that liquid in the dilution cavity 23 is prevented from leaking, the second limiting part 33 prevents the puncture rod body from sliding into the closed cavity completely, and also prevents the puncture cone 31 from puncturing the sealing film 4 in advance before the nucleic acid sample is amplified, so that the stability of the sample storage unit is improved; when the amplified product (amplified nucleic acid sample) needs to be diluted, the worker releases the locking of the second limiting part 33 and pushes the puncture push rod, so that the puncture cone 31 punctures the sealing membrane 4, the amplified cavity 12 is communicated with the dilution cavity 23 to form a closed cavity, and the amplified product is mixed with the buffer solution to dilute the amplified product.

Specifically, the limiting plate cooperates with the first bayonet to limit the puncturing part 3 to a fixed position before the amplified product (amplified nucleic acid sample) needs to be diluted, i.e., when the sealing membrane 4 is not punctured. Meanwhile, the limiting plate can be tightly attached to the third opening 22, so that the tightness between the third opening 22 and the puncturing part 3 is enhanced, and the liquid in the dilution cavity 23 is prevented from leaking to the outside or being polluted by the outside in the transportation process before use.
Further, the length of the limiting plate is smaller than the caliber of the second opening 21. Specifically, when the worker pushes the puncture push rod, the puncture cone 31 and the limiting plate are contacted with the sealing membrane 4 in sequence, so that the first limiting part 32 can prevent the puncture cone 31 from sliding from the dilution part 2 to the outside, and can further advance after the puncture cone 31 punctures the sealing membrane 4, so that the notch on the sealing membrane 4 becomes larger, the buffer solution is contacted with the amplified product more easily, and the mixing speed is accelerated. It will also be appreciated that if the size of the puncture cone 31 is merely increased to increase the gap in the sealing membrane 4, it may happen that the puncture cone 31 is caught by the second opening 21, and by the above arrangement, the rate of mixing is increased while ensuring a stable operation of the detection device.
Further, a third limiting portion (not shown) is further formed on the piercing rod body at a side of the second limiting portion 33 away from the sealing film 4, and the third limiting portion includes a second pin hole formed on the piercing rod body and a second bayonet lock movably inserted into the second pin hole. Specifically, the second bayonet lock can prevent the puncture part 3 from completely falling into the dilution cavity 23 after the sealing film 4 is punctured, and the second bayonet lock can also enable one end of the puncture rod part to be always located outside the dilution part 2, so that sealing connection is always formed between the puncture rod body and the third opening 22, and the sealing performance and stability of the detection device are improved. When there is a case where it is necessary to take out the content of the detecting device, the second bayonet is pulled out, and the end of the piercing rod is pushed to enter the diluting chamber 23 entirely, so that the third opening 22 of the diluting part 2 is opened, and the content is taken out.

It is to be added that a sealing ring is arranged between the avoidance hole and the detection test paper 54, and the sealing ring can fill the residual gap of the avoidance hole, but can not press the detection test paper 54, so that the tightness and stability of the detection device are improved.
The detection section 5 includes a communication section through which the sample storage unit communicates with the buffer pool 51 when the sample storage unit is connected to the detection section 5.
Specifically, after the sample storage unit is connected with the detection part 5, the communication part enables the closed cavity of the sample storage unit to be communicated with the buffer pool 51, so that samples in the closed cavity flow to the buffer pool 51 and then flow into the detection pool 52, and the phenomenon of sample flushing is effectively prevented through the arrangement of the buffer pool 51.
In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 8, the communicating portion extends inward from the cavity wall of the fourth opening, a protruding portion 55 is further protruding from a side of the communicating portion near the piercing portion 3, and a through hole is formed in the protruding portion 55 at a position corresponding to the third opening 22, and the through hole is in communication with the buffer pool 51.
When the sample storage unit is connected with the detection part 5, the dilution part 2 is inserted into the fourth opening, the puncture part 3 is lifted up by the bulge part 55, and the circulation hole is communicated with the closed cavity.
Specifically, when the sample storage unit is connected to the detecting portion 5, the protruding portion 55 can push the piercing portion 3 into the closed cavity, so that the third opening 22 is no longer plugged by the piercing rod, and the sample in the closed cavity flows out of the third opening 22 and flows into the buffer cell 51 through the flow hole. Meanwhile, the sealing ring 6 is sleeved outside the boss 55, and the sealing ring 6 is connected with the dilution part 2, so that the tightness between the detection part 5 and the dilution part 2 can be improved. In the process, the step of uncovering by a worker is omitted, the risk of leakage of pollutants is reduced, the steps are saved, and the safety is improved.
Further, a drainage unit 56 is further provided in the detection portion 5, one end of the drainage unit 56 is located in the detection cell 52, and the other end is inserted into the flow hole. The drainage unit 56 may be a sponge, cotton, or other absorbent material.

Wherein, one end part of the amplifying part 1 far away from the diluting part 2 is matched with the size of the fourth opening, so that the amplifying part 1 can be inserted into the fourth opening; after the amplification part 1 is inserted into the fourth opening, the puncturing unit 57 punctures the amplification part 1 so that the sample in the amplification chamber 12 flows into the closed chamber.
Further, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the avoidance hole is formed on the end portion of the baffle 53 away from the bottom wall of the detection cavity, and a first distance between one end portion of the detection tank 52 and the bottom wall of the detection cavity is larger than a second distance between the other end portion of the detection tank 51 and the bottom wall of the detection cavity, where the detection test paper 54 is located.
