At present, the qPCR technology for in vitro diagnosis usually requires the detection of multiple indicators (multiple target detection objects) in one test for one or more samples. The conventional optical detection device uses a plurality of independent optical units to detect a plurality of target detection objects in the same reaction chamber or to detect the same target object in a plurality of reaction chambers.

In the conventional optical detection device, a plurality of independent optical units are adopted, and a rotary or translational mode is required in the detection process, so that the relative position of the optical units or the PCR chamber is changed to realize multiple detections. In addition, a resetting step is often required after each rotation or translation operation, so that the problem of winding or repeated detection is solved, the control is complex, the steps are complicated, and the detection time is too long.

In addition, if the optical system and the reaction chambers are to be kept relatively stationary, the number of optical detection modules corresponding to the number of reaction chambers is required, and each optical module is required to be capable of detecting a plurality of different types of target detection objects simultaneously, which may result in an excessively large detection module. Furthermore, the design and layout of the detection chambers on the cartridge are subject to space constraints of the optical system as well, resulting in a complex optical design.

In view of the above, there is a need for an optical detection device with a more compact layout that can meet the miniaturization development requirements of in vitro diagnostic and analysis systems.

Or in another embodiment, the optical detection device further comprises a second lens 36, and the second lens 36 is disposed between the emission sheet 400 and the detection element 34. Thus, the sample substance in the sample cavity 52 is excited by the light of the light-emitting member 24 to emit fluorescence, the fluorescence is collected by the third lens 42, emitted to the dichroic mirror 200, emitted to the emission sheet 400 through the dichroic mirror 200, emitted to the second lens 36 after passing through the emission sheet 400, and focused on the detection element 34 through the second lens 36, so that the detection precision and sensitivity are improved.

Alternatively, the second lens 36 is fixedly mounted on the third mounting unit 32. In this way, the integration of the second lens 36 into the detection module 30 is achieved with the third mounting unit 32.

In this way, in use of the optical detection apparatus, the first mounting unit 100 is used to form the optical path channel 110 including the first channel 112, the second channel 114 and the common channel 116, and then the dichroic mirror 200, the excitation sheet 300 and the emission sheet 400 are integrated into the optical path channel 110, such that the excitation sheet 300 and the dichroic mirror 200 form an excitation optical path, the emission sheet 400 and the dichroic mirror 200 form an emission optical path, and the light-emitting members 24 and the detection elements 34 are arranged at intervals along the movement track of the first mounting unit 100. Therefore, the switching of the optical path 110 can be realized only by rotating or moving the first mounting unit 100 by the driver, so that the optical path 110 can be selectively butted with the illuminating member 24 and the detecting element 34 to realize the detection of different types of target objects of the target sample, and in the process, the light source module 20 and the detecting element 34 do not need to be rotated, the winding problem does not exist, and therefore, a winding avoiding space does not need to be arranged.

So that the first plate 130 and the second plate 140 can move together with the lens module 10.

Further, as shown in fig. 1 to 5, in an embodiment, the number of the optical path channels 110 is at least two. In this way, the optical path channels 110 can correspond to the detection modules 30 and the light source modules 20 one to one, so that different types of target detection objects of different samples can be detected, and at least two types of target detection objects of at least two chambers can be detected at one time; meanwhile, the light path channel is arranged in the light shield, so that light pollution can be avoided, and the detection precision is influenced.

Meanwhile, the at least two light shields 120 are clamped between the first plate 130 and the second plate 140 at intervals along the same circumference to form a set of mounting modules, and the first mounting unit 100 includes at least two sets of mounting modules vertically stacked. Thus, more elements can be integrated with rotation, enabling simultaneous detection of more sample chambers 52.

Of course, in another embodiment, the light emitting members 24 are spaced apart from each other along a straight line, the detecting members 34 are spaced apart from each other along another straight line, and the driver is used to drive the first mounting unit 100 to reciprocate along the straight line. Therefore, detection of different target detection objects can be realized only by reciprocating along the linear direction; in the process, the light source module 20 and the detection module 30 do not need to rotate, and the winding problem does not exist, so that a winding avoiding space does not need to be arranged, and the size of the optical detection device can be smaller.

In another aspect, the present application further provides an in vitro diagnostic and analytical system, comprising the optical detection device in any of the above embodiments.

The in vitro diagnosis and analysis system applies the optical detection device, can independently drive the lens module 10, the light source module 20 or the detection module 30 to move, and is more flexible in design and easier to control.

Further, the in-vitro diagnostic and analytical system further comprises a sample tray 50, the sample tray 50 is provided with detection cavities corresponding to the free ends of the common channels 116 one by one, and a third lens 42 is arranged between the detection cavities and the common channels 116. Thus, light emitted by the light emitting element 24 passes through the first lens 26 and the excitation sheet 300 and then is emitted to the dichroic mirror 200, reflected by the dichroic mirror 200 and then is collected by the third lens 42 and then emitted to the sample cavity 52, a sample in the sample cavity 52 is excited by light of the light emitting element 24 to emit fluorescence, the fluorescence is emitted to the dichroic mirror 200, emitted to the emission sheet 400 through the dichroic mirror 200, emitted to the second lens 36 through the emission sheet 400, and then focused on the detection element 34 through the second lens 36. After the detection of one type of object is completed, the driver drives the first mounting unit 100 to rotate, so that the optical path 110 corresponds to another light emitting element and another detecting element, and the above operation is continued to complete the detection of another type of object.

The technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, but should be considered as the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.

The above examples only represent some embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, several variations and modifications can be made, which are within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
