In the description of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise limited.

In this application, unless expressly stated otherwise, the terms "connected," "coupled," "contacting," and the like are used interchangeably and are to be construed broadly, e.g., as being fixedly connected, removably connected, or integrally connected; may be mechanically connected, may be electrically connected or may be in communication with each other; either directly or indirectly through intervening media, either internally or in any other relationship.

In this application, the semiconductor refrigeration piece is based on the peltier effect, so that the refrigeration or heating effect can be realized, and the refrigeration or refrigeration principle is as follows: when current passes through two connected conductors, the junction of the two conductors generates temperature difference, namely the junction generates heat absorption and heat release phenomena. This effect was discovered by the French Peltier (Jean-Charles Peltier) in 1834. The amount of heat absorption and heat release in the peltier effect is determined by the magnitude of the current. Cooling and heating elements such as peltier cooling and heating plates have been manufactured according to the peltier effect. When the Peltier cooling and heating sheet is electrified, one surface absorbs heat (cooling) and the other surface releases heat (heating), and the heat absorption surface and the heat release surface can be changed by changing the direction of current.

Referring to fig. 2, the embodiment discloses a reagent storage device 1000, which includes a case 100, a temperature control module 200, and an airflow control assembly 300.

The case 100 has a cavity 120 therein, and the case 100 may have any shape such as a cube or a rectangular parallelepiped that can accommodate the reagent cartridge 400. The housing 100 has a first side 102 and a second side 104 that is not directly connected to the first side 102, which means that there is no adjacent edge between the first side 102 and the second side 104, for example, the first side 102 and the second side 104 may be disposed parallel or spaced apart from each other and have an angle, or be connected by other sides. The first side 102 of the cabinet 100 is provided with a door 140, wherein the door 140 can be opened or closed in a manner including, but not limited to, single door, half door, and double door. When the door 140 is closed, the inside of the casing 100 is closed, and when the door 140 is opened, the reagent cartridge 400 carrying the reagent can be placed in the cavity 120 through the door 140 or the reagent cartridge 400 placed in the cavity 120 can be taken out. Fig. 3 and 4 show an example of a reagent cartridge 400, where the reagent cartridge 400 has a hollow structure, and reagent holding cavities 460 holding reagents are spaced apart in the reagent cartridge 400, and the reagent cartridge 400 has a first face 402 and a second face 404 not directly connected to the first face 402, where the first face 402 and the second face 404 do not have adjacent edges, for example, the first face 402 and the second face 404 may be arranged in parallel or spaced apart from each other and have a certain angle, or connected by other faces. For example, in this embodiment, the first face 402 and the second face 404 are connected by a third face 406 of the cartridge 400. The first surface 402 of the reagent cartridge 400 is provided with a first through hole 420, and the second surface 404 of the reagent cartridge 400 is provided with a second through hole 440, in a case where the reagent cartridge 400 is disposed in the cavity 120, the first through hole 420 is close to the end of the first surface 102 of the case 100, and the second through hole 440 is close to the end of the second surface 104 of the case 100, that is, the first through hole 420 is closer to the end of the first surface 102 than the second through hole 440, and the second through hole 440 is closer to the end of the second surface 104 than the first through hole 420.

The temperature control module 200 is disposed at the end of the second side 104 of the box 100, and the temperature control module 200 is configured to cool or heat air near the end of the second side 104, for example, the temperature control module 200 may be a semiconductor cooling plate, and the temperature inside the box 100 may also rise or fall along with the temperature during the cooling or heating process of the air at the end of the second side 104. It is easy to understand that, in the prior art, the temperature change speed at a position farther from the end where the second surface 104 is located is slower, for example, the semiconductor cooling plate cools the air at the end where the second surface 104 is located to reduce the temperature of the reagent in the reagent kit 400, and the cooling speed of a part of the reagent kit 400 close to the end where the second surface 104 is located is faster than that of a part of the reagent kit 400 close to the end where the first surface 102 is located in the conventional reagent storage device 1000, which causes uneven temperature of the reagent kit 400, is not favorable for rapid cooling or heating of the reagent kit 400, and is not favorable for storing the reagent in the reagent kit 400.

The airflow control assembly 300 is disposed in the cavity 120, and the airflow control assembly 300 includes a first fan 310 disposed at an end of the first side 102 of the box 100 and a second fan 320 disposed at an end of the second side 104 of the box 100, wherein the second fan 320 is connectable to the temperature control module 200. In the case that the reagent cartridge 400 is placed in the cavity 120, the first through hole 420 of the reagent cartridge 400 is close to the first blower 310, and the second through hole 440 of the reagent cartridge 400 is close to the second blower 320, that is, the first through hole 420 is closer to the first blower 310 than the second through hole 440, and the second through hole 440 is closer to the second blower 320 than the first through hole 420. For example, the second through hole 440 may face the second fan 320.

The reagent cartridge 400 is placed in the cavity 120, the door 140 is closed, and the first fan 310 and/or the second fan 320 are/is in an operating state, so that air flow circulating in and out of the reagent cartridge 400 is formed through the first through hole 420, the second through hole 440 and the box body 100. The circulation in and out refers to a process in which an air flow enters the reagent cartridge 400 from one through hole of the reagent cartridge 400, then flows out of the reagent cartridge 400 from another through hole of the reagent cartridge 400, returns in the cavity 120 of the case 100, and flows into the reagent cartridge 400 from one through hole of the reagent cartridge 400. For example, the air flow enters the reagent cartridge 400 from the second through hole 440, passes through the reagent cartridge 400 and flows out from the first through hole 420, and then flows into the reagent cartridge 400 from the second through hole 440.

Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the air flow in and out circulation reagent box 400, in which the box door 140, the reagent box 400, the first blower 310 and the second blower 320 are all one, when the second blower 320 is in an operating state (for example, the second blower 320 is started), the second blower 320 drives the air near the end of the second surface 104 to flow to the end of the first surface 102 through the second through hole 440 (for example, when the second through hole 440 faces the air outlet of the second blower 320) and the first through hole 420 in sequence, when the first blower 310 is in an operating state (for example, the first blower 310 is started), the first blower 310 drives the air near the box door 140 to flow to the end of the second surface 104 through the gap between the reagent box 400 and the box 100 (for example, as shown in fig. 2, the air outlet of the first blower 310 faces the gap between the reagent box 400 and the box 100), so as to be driven by the second blower 320 to flow into the second through hole 440 again, this completes the circulation of air flow into and out of the cartridge 400.

In the process of circulating the air flow, the temperature change of the whole box 100 is more uniform, and compared with the current reagent storage device 1000, the temperature change speed of the part of the reagent kit 400 far away from the temperature control module 200 is faster, so that the reagent can be more efficiently cooled or heated.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the first fan 310 and the second fan 320 operate simultaneously to complete the circulation of the airflow, in other embodiments, one of the first fan 310 and the second fan 320 operates, and the circulation of the airflow may also be completed, and in other embodiments, the number of the reagent kits 400 may also be two or more, and in contrast to this, the first fan 310 and the second fan 320 may be provided in a number matching the number of the reagent kits 400, that is, one reagent kit 400 corresponds to one first fan 310 and one second fan 320. In some embodiments, the cavity 120 of the housing 100 may comprise a plurality of spaced apart subchambers 122, and each subchamber 122 may house one cartridge 400. On this basis, the number of the box door 140 and the first fan 310 is the same as that of the sub-cavities 122, and in addition, a plurality of sub-cavities 122 may also correspond to one second fan 320. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the number of reagent cartridges 400, the door 140, the first blower 310 and the second blower 320 is two, the cavity of the box 100 includes two sub-chambers 122, each sub-chamber 122 accommodates one reagent cartridge 400, and each sub-chamber 122 has a corresponding first blower 310 and second blower 320.

In the formation of the above-mentioned circulation airflow, the positions of the first fan 310 and the second fan 320 are not strictly limited, the second fan 320 can drive the air near the end where the second surface 104 is located to flow into the second through hole 440 from the outside and flow out from the first through hole 420, and the first fan 310 can drive the air flowing out from the first through hole 420 to flow toward the end where the second surface 104 is located from the gap between the reagent kit 400 and the case 100. In some embodiments, the first fan 310 is disposed above or on an outer wall of the door 140, for example, as shown in fig. 6, the first fan 310 is disposed on the outer wall of the door 140, and when the door 140 is closed, the first fan 310 may communicate with the cavity 120 through the wind tunnel 160 disposed on the cabinet 100. By locating the first fan 310 above or outside the door 140, space within the chamber 120 of the housing 100 can be conserved, thereby containing more reagents. In other embodiments, the first fan 310 may be embedded in the door 140.

In some embodiments, there is no through hole on the third surface 406, that is, the channel formed by the reagent cartridge 400 between the first through hole 420 and the second through hole 440 is a closed channel, and the airflow entering the second through hole 440 only flows out from the first through hole 420 after passing through the reagent cartridge 400, so that the airflow inside the whole reagent cartridge 400 can uniformly flow, and the front-back variation speed in the reagent cartridge 400 is more uniform. In other embodiments, the third surface 406 may be provided with a third through hole 450 as shown in fig. 3.

In some embodiments, the airflow control assembly 300 further includes a flow guide cover 340, and the flow guide cover 340 has a hollow structure with openings at two ends, for example, the flow guide cover 340 shown in fig. 2 has a trapezoidal shape, and in other embodiments, the flow guide cover 340 may have a funnel shape or the like. One end of the air guide sleeve 340 is communicated with the second through hole 440, the second fan 320 is communicated with the other end of the air guide sleeve 340, air flowing from the end of the first face 102 to the end of the second face 104 flows into the air guide sleeve 340 through a gap between the air guide sleeve 340 and the end of the second face 104, and then is driven by the second fan 320 to flow into the second through hole 440, so that the air guide sleeve 340 contributes to the formation of circulating air flow.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, the casing 100 is provided with a water tank 122 for receiving condensed water, the water tank 122 is provided with a drain hole (not shown) near the second side 104, and the water tank 122 is used for collecting the condensed water dropping during the cooling or heating process of the reagent cartridge 400 and then draining the condensed water through the drain hole. In addition, a plurality of guiding grooves 124 are formed in the bottom of the cavity 120 of the box body 100, the guiding grooves 124 are located below the reagent kit 400, the guiding grooves 124 connect the first surface 102 and the second surface 104 of the box body 100 and are communicated with the water tank 122, and as a preferable scheme, the depth of the guiding grooves 124 close to the first surface 102 of the box body 100 is smaller than the depth of the guiding grooves 124 close to the second surface 104 of the box body 100, so that received condensed water can be guided to the water tank 122.
