Design of Cleaning Module based on CAN

Abstract

In order to promote the automation of medical devices, we designed a test and analysis instrument which we call it as automatic liquid chip system. Based on the fully automatic liquid chip system, we designed various modules, including sample needle module, reagent bin module, reaction plate module, cleaning module, waste bin module and system liquid module. It includes the design of mechanical structure and electronic control system. The control chip of each module is STM32F103RET6. The main control part includes stepping motor, optocoupler sensor and AD converter. The whole communication is carried out through CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol. The serial instructions are sent to the upper computer, and the conversion from serial instructions to CAN instructions is completed in the transfer station. Each module receives CAN instructions, performs FIFO caching, and then performs corresponding operations. Considering the stability of each module, the universality of debugging and the stability of the whole system, this experiment designs the common parts of the module, including the design of stepping motor driver, the generation of software PWM and the configuration of CAN communication protocol. Then we take the cleaning module as an example to design its circuit and workflow.
