Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to perform accurate discharge and sucking, by providing a moving body, a driving means for reciprocating the moving body, and a sliding body, which is attached to the moving body so that the sliding body can be freely slidden in the same direction of the driving direction, in an automatic pipette. CONSTITUTION:When reagent is sucked, a Z-axis driving part 2 is turned with a Z-axis motor 2-7 in the counterclockwise direction viewed from the upper side under the state show in the Figure. Then, a pipette part 1 is sent downward. The tip point of a tip 1-2 of the pipette 1 is brought into contact with the bottom of a test tube 3-2. The contact is detected with a tip compression sensor 2-3. The Z-axis motor 2-7 is stopped by said detection. At the same time, a pipette motor 1-10 of the pipette part 1 is turned by a specified amount in the clockwise direction viewed from the upper side. Then, a needle 1-4 is lifted by a specified amount. Therefore, pressure in a space A at the tip point of the tip 1-2 becomes negative with respect to atmospheric pressure. Thus the reagent 3-1 is sucked by a specified amount. When the sucking is finished, the motor 2-7 is turned. The pipette part 2 is lifted, returned to the original position and stopped. Thus the sucking operation is finished.

When aspirating a reagent with this device, when the Z-axis motor 2-7 of the Z-axis drive section 2 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the top in the state shown in FIG. 1, the pipetter section 1 is sent downward and the position shown in FIG. The tip of the pipettor part 1's tip 1-2 is now in the state of the test tube 3-.
The chip pressure sensor 2-3 detects contact with the bottom of the chip. Upon this detection, the two-axis motor 2-7 stops, and at the same time, when the pipettor motor 1-10 of the pipetter section 1 rotates a predetermined amount clockwise when viewed from the top, the needle 1-4 also rises a predetermined amount, so that the tip 1-2 The pressure in the space A at the tip becomes negative with respect to atmospheric pressure, and a predetermined amount of reagent 3-1 is sucked. When the suction is finished, the two-axis motor 2- of the Z-axis drive unit 2
When the pipette 7 rotates clockwise when viewed from the top, the pipetter part 1 rises, returns to its original position, and stops, thus completing the suction operation.

Next, a mechanism for detecting that the tip end has contacted the test tube will be described below. In Figure 2, the pipettor section 1 is connected to the test tube 3-
2, and the tip of the tip 1-2 comes into contact with the test tube 3-2 and stops. Although the pipetter frame 1-1 and the guide rail 2-1 are in contact with each other, they are slidable in the vertical direction. In the state shown in FIG. 2, the pipettor frame 1-1 is in contact with the protrusion of the carriage 2-2 due to gravity. A chip pressure sensor 2-3 fixed to the carriage 2-2 is, for example, a photosensor, and can identify whether an object exists between the light emitting part and the light receiving part. Now pipettor frame 1-1
The sensor plate 1-12 fixed to the chip pressure sensor 2-7 blocks the gap between the light emitting part and the light receiving part of the chip pressure sensor 2-7. Now, just like this, the pipettor will insert the tip 1-2 into the test tube 3-2.
If it comes into contact with the tip, it becomes impossible to physically move the part attached to the pipetter frame 1-1 downward. However, since the pipetter frame 1-1 is slidable relative to the carriage 2-2, the carriage 2-2 continues to move downward unless the Z-axis motor 2-7, which is moving the carriage, stops. Then, the relative positions of the pipettor frame 1-1 and the carriage 2-2 are displaced by the dimension B in FIG. 2. That is, a displacement occurs in the positional relationship between the sensor plate 1-12 and the chip pressure sensor 2-3, which are fixed thereto. There are times when this sensor plate slips through the gap between the light emitting part and the light receiving part of the chip pressure sensor 2-3.

At this time, the chip pressure sensor notifies the controller (not shown) of this fact, and the controller issues a rotation stop command to the two-axis motor 2-7, causing the motor to stop.
The tip of pipettor frame 1 is attached to the bottom of test tube 3-2.
A state of contact is created with a pressure determined by the weight of -1 and its accompanying parts. Figure 3 shows sensor plate 1-
12 and the chip pressure sensor 2-3, two different types of electrical processing are shown depending on the two types of positional relationships.

The pair of LED 3-1 and phototransistor 3-2 in FIG. 3 corresponds to the chip pressure sensor 2-3 in FIG.
When the gap between phototransistor 3-1 and phototransistor 3-2 is shielded by shielding plate 3-3, which corresponds to sensor plate 1-12 in Figure 1, no current flows between the collector and emitter of phototransistor 3-2. Therefore, the input voltage of one side of the two-man AND element 3-4 is Vcc, and the motor drive pulse signal that is the output of the other side appears as it is, and this signal drives the motor 3-6 through the motor driver 3-5. . On the other hand, when there is nothing between the LED 3-1 and the phototransistor 3-2, a current flows between the collector and emitter of the phototransistor 3-2, and the Δ voltage on one side of the AND element becomes the ground level. Irrespective of the input to one side, the output becomes a direct current, so no drive signal is input to the motor.As shown in the figure above 0, the operation of the motor is controlled depending on the presence or absence of an object between the LBD 3-1 and the phototransistor 3-2.

According to the present invention, it is possible to maintain a constant positional relationship between the tip end and the test tube regardless of the shape of the test tube or the installation error of the device. Furthermore, since the tip of the tip is in contact with the test tube, it has the effect of preventing liquid from entering the test tube and enabling highly accurate dispensing and suction.
