2.2 Functional description of the power supply

Powered by the switching power supply module and adopting high-frequency PWM conversion technology, the power supply of RT-9200 analyzer is small in size, light in weight, high in efficiency dependability. Its load and power adjusting ranges are wide. This power supply outputs two DC electrical sources, each electrical source is described as follows: CH1: CH2: +12V/4A +5V/8A It is used for the motors of filter and peristaltic pump, heating/cooling of Peltier and the motor of the fan as well. It is used for the logical control of the rear board and the font board, Tungsten Halogen Lamp, built-in printer and heating/cooling of Peltier

2.3.2 Function block diagram of the back board

Fig 2-1 Function block diagram of the back board 2.3.3 Principle description of the rear board As the above figure indicates, the rear board mainly consists of the following parts: 1. MCU, SRAM and the embedded FLASH memory in MCU constitute the basic platform for the operation of the system; the system software is embedded in the Flash Memory which is in MCU. As the hardware structure of MCS-51 one-chip computer is based on Harvard principle, namely the addressing of program space and the addressing of data space are independent of each other. Address space of 64K Flash Memory is allocated in the 64K program space of the system, 60K SRAM address space and 4K system I/O address space are allocated in the 64K data space of the system. The CPU external frequency is 22.1184MHz. When the system is started, program runs in the Flash Memory directly. 2. Serial communication port There are three serial communication ports on the rear board, namely: RS232 port, which is composed of serial port 0 of MCU and is connected to PC, for upgrading of external programs; additionally provided two serial ports and one parallel port for the system through TL16C552 chip extension. Therein, one of the two serial ports is used for the built-in printer, and the other is used for transmitting the test result. 3. PLC PLC provides the logic control over all parts of the system. Through extension, the PLC provides a port for controlling eight LED indicators, and provides control over transformation of interrupt signal and local bus which is connected to the font, and allocates decoded address of the system. 4. Scanning the keyboard Keyboard scanning logic of 55 array is formed by the lower 5 digits of PA and the lower 5 digits of PB of 8255 chip; 8255 chip sends out keyboard scanning signal from PA port periodically and detects any press onto the key through PB port.

5. Power transformation circuit System power supply provides +5V power for the rear board, the rear board needs +5V power and +3.3V power. Therefore, +5V power must be transformed to +3.3V power to meet the need of the rear board.

2.4 Front board functions

2.4.1 Description of font board functions The front board, under the control of the rear board, fulfills the unique functions that a semi-automatic biochemical analyzer can provide. The front board is the key controlling and executing part of the semi-automatic biochemical analyzer. For the semi-automatic biochemical analyzer RT-9200, its front board mainly provides the following functions: Choosing spectral filter Peristaltic pump rotates and draws in a certain amount of liquid Control of tungsten halogen lamp (Switch on / Switch off) Transformation, amplification and sampling of photoelectric signal. Detection and controlling of temperature 2.4.2 Principle block diagram of front board Principle block diagram of front board is showed as followings:

2.4.3 Controlling of choosing spectral filter There are five different spectral filters available for the semi-automatic biochemical analyzer RT-9200 with the wavelength of 340nm, 405nm, 500nm, 546nm and 620nm. Spectral filter varies with different testing method. Install all the spectral filters evenly on the round plate with 8 holes, contained angle of any two adjoining holes is 360/8 =45. One surplus hole is spared for further installation of spectral filter for special wavelength. The stepping motor drives the plate rotating. Spectral filter the system choose varies with rotating angle of the stepping motor. The type of the stepping motor is 35BYC412L-01201C-L1 (Its parameters are the same as the stepping motor typed UBD6N07D04ANNC). The motor is equipped with a reducing gear box to increase its rotational torque. The reducing gear box is a complementary unit to the stepping motor. The 8254 OUT0 port outputs pulse generated by the spectral filter so that corresponding spectral filter is chosen. 2.4.4 Control over liquid-intake of the peristaltic pump The semi-automatic biochemical analyzer RT-9200 can automatically draw in certain amount of reagent according to the preset amount in a test item. Similar to the motor of the spectral filter, it realizes precise control over the intake amount of liquid under the driving of stepping motor. Its controlling method is similar to the stepping motor of the spectral filter: The amount of reagent the instrument intake varies with the rotation angle of the stepping motor. The peristaltic pump will generate a relatively greater torque in intake liquid, so we choose the bipolar stepping motor, typed 17HS1025-2. Correspondingly, the driving circuit adopts bipolar controlling/driving chip L297 and L298. Eight different rotational speed can be available according to different concentration of sample to be tested and different intake speed provided to users. Write specific frequency division constant into Timer/Count 0 of the 82C54 chip and the OUT0 port will output corresponding frequency and the peristaltic pump will rotate at a corresponding speed. 2.4.5 Detection and controlling of temperature Temperature control consists of temperature detection and control over heating/cooling. For temperature detection, it adopts Bus-structured Fully Digital Temperature Sensor DS1820 made by DALLAS Company to reduce the periphery transformation circuit. 2.4.6 Sampling and transformation of light energy The part for sampling and transformation of light energy is the core of the semi-automatic biochemical analyzer. All calculation of detection on the semi-automatic biochemical analyzer is conducted on basis of detection in luminous intensity. So the sampling and detection in light energy must be performed precisely and stably to meet the requirement of the instrument in the speed of sampling and detection. It adopts photoelectric sensor OPT301M from B-B the Company. Silicon photocell and built-in operational amplifier are integrated in the sensor. The silicon photocell transforms photocurrent into faint voltage signal and the built-in operational amplifier amplifies the faint voltage signal to meet the measurement requirement in voltage. OPT301M is high in integrated level and good in performance. The voltage signal must be transformed into digital signal before being processed in CPU, so an A/D converting circuit is indispensable. For the A/D converter, we adopt ADS774 A/D from B-B Company. It is a 12Bit converter which can meet all requirements of the instrument in range, precision and speed of the measurement. The scope of the voltage input A/D is 0-10V. 2.4.7 Control of the tungsten halogen lamp To prolong service life of the light source, the instrument should be capable of turning off the light source automatically if the instrument is not in service for a long time. The light source that the instrument uses
18

is a tungsten halogen lamp. Its specification is 6V/10W and the electric current goes through it is relatively larger and its power is relatively larger as well. If we use MOS tube to control the on-off mode of the tungsten halogen lamp, the large voltage drop and high power dissipation in the MOS will cause many unfavorable problems such as the heat dissipation problem. So we use small-scale relay in stead. The voltage drop at the contact point of the relay is approximately zero and the power of the controlling relays wire pad is relatively less. Control signal is output from PB.6 port of the 8255 chip. The triode is used to control the on-off mode of the wire pad of the controlling relay.

2.5 Functional description of the pipeline

2.5.1 Functional Specifications When the intake button is pressed during the measurement process, the system makes the motor of the peristaltic pump rotate and then the pressing wheel of the peristaltic pump presses against the pipeline tightly to make the liquid flow to the outlet and thus the liquid is intaken into the cell. Once intaking the right amount preset in the test item, the system will stop the motor of the peristaltic pump. The liquid will reside in the cell for measurement. After the measurement, the system urges the motor of the peristaltic pump rotate and drains the liquid in the cell to reduce cross contamination and waits for the next measurement. 2.5.2 Structure of the pipeline

Fig. 2-3 Structure figure of the pipeline

2.6 Functional description of the optical path

2.6.1 Functional Specifications Optical structure of RT-9200 is given as following. It is the back-dividing-light structure of the interference spectral filter. Radiation the tungsten halogen lamp giving off goes through the convex lens and is turned into parallel rays. The protective glass is used to protect the convex lens. The parallel light casts into the cell which is loaded with liquid to be tested, part of the light energy is absorbed by the liquid and the light out becomes monochromatic light after goes through the monochromatic spectral filter. Then the monochromatic light casts onto the photoelectric receiver and is converted into electronic signal thereafter and input into the front board for processing. Color of the spectral filter and that of the solution to be tested should be complementary colors. 2.6.2 Structure of optical path
