[0027] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] The embodiment of the present application solves the problem in the prior art of needing a handheld fan to dry the fluorescent slices by providing a dark box for drying immunofluorescence slices, thereby achieving the convenience of drying the fluorescent slices.
[0029] The technical solution in the embodiments of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:
[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, by opening a limiting slot on the box cover, the air outlet surface of the handheld fan is placed in the limiting slot during the drying process of the fluorescent slices, and the supporting structure is used to support the handheld fan in the limiting slot, thereby facilitating the drying operation of the fluorescent slices placed in the box body. This solves the problem in the prior art that a handheld fan is needed to blow dry the fluorescent slices, and improves the convenience of the fluorescent slice drying process.
[0031] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a dark box for drying immunofluorescence sections comprises a box body 10 and a box cover 20 mounted on the box body 10;
[0033] The box cover 20 is provided with a limiting notch 22, the limiting notch 22 is used to place the handheld fan, and the box cover 20 is mounted with a cover plate 21, the cover plate 21 is detachably connected to the box cover 20 through the limiting notch 22;
[0034] A support structure 221 is provided in the limiting notch 22 , and the support structure 221 is used to support the handheld fan.
[0035] By opening a limiting slot 22 on the box cover 20, during the drying process of the fluorescent slices, the air outlet surface of the handheld fan is placed in the limiting slot 22, and the support structure 221 is used to support the handheld fan in the limiting slot 22, thereby facilitating the drying operation of the fluorescent slices placed in the box body 10, solving the problem in the prior art that a handheld fan is needed to blow dry the fluorescent slices, and improving the convenience of the fluorescent slice drying process.
[0036] Specifically, when setting the limiting slot 22, the limiting slot 22 can be slightly smaller than the box cover 20, and a fan of corresponding size can be placed to facilitate the drying of the fluorescent slices in the dark box. A handheld fan can be a fan that can be completely placed in the limiting slot 22. Afterwards, the cover 21 can be covered or not covered according to the needs of use. The cover 21 is plugged into the box cover 20 through the limiting slot 22. According to specific needs, the sealing of the box body 10 during use is maintained to achieve sufficient light protection for the dark box.
[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a first connection structure 101 is installed on the box body 10 , and a second connection structure 201 adapted to the first connection structure 101 is installed on the box cover 20 .
[0038] By providing the first connecting structure 101 and the second connecting structure 201 , the box cover 20 can be opened relative to the box body 10 , thereby facilitating the placement of fluorescent slices.
[0039] Specifically, the second connection structure 201 includes a plurality of plug-in blocks, the first connection structure 101 is provided with slots corresponding to the plug-in blocks, and the box cover 20 is plugged into the box body 10 through the plurality of plug-in blocks and the plurality of slots.
[0040] By setting the box cover 20 and the box body 10 to be plugged in through corresponding plug blocks and slots, the height of the box cover 20 relative to the box body 10 is controlled when the box cover 20 is in use, and then the height of the handheld fan and the fluorescent slices placed thereon is controlled. While the handheld fan is blowing air on the fluorescent slices, the human eye can observe the degree of drying of the fluorescent slices in a timely manner.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the support structure 221 includes a plurality of U-shaped parts. By arranging the support structure 221 in the form of a plurality of U-shaped parts, support for the handheld fan is achieved. While maintaining the stability of the handheld fan after it is placed, the contact between the support structure 221 and the blowing surface of the handheld fan can be reduced, thereby facilitating the blowing operation of the handheld fan on the fluorescent slice and ensuring the fluidity of the handheld fan's blowing during the process of the handheld fan blowing the fluorescent slice.
[0042] like Figure 3-Figure 5As shown, a plurality of partitions 11 are provided inside the box body 10, and a plurality of first placement grooves 111 and a plurality of first separation grooves 112 are provided on the partitions 11. The first placement grooves 111 on the same partition 11 are connected with the corresponding plurality of first separation grooves 112, and the first placement grooves 111 on adjacent partitions 11 correspond one to one.
[0043] By setting up multiple first placement grooves 111, it is possible to facilitate the placement of fluorescent slices when drying, and by setting up multiple first separation grooves 112, it is possible to reduce the contact area between the fluorescent slices and the partition 11 when the fluorescent slices are placed in the first placement grooves 111, and reduce the impact of moisture on the top of the partition 11 on the side of the fluorescent slice close to the partition 11 when the fluorescent slices are drying.
[0044] The positions of the first dividing grooves 112 on adjacent partitions 11 correspond one to one. During use, the adjacent first dividing grooves 112 can facilitate the placement of glass slides. The glass slides are placed in the corresponding first dividing grooves 112 to achieve multifunctional use of the dark box.
[0045] The inner side walls of the box body 10 parallel to the partition 11 are provided with a plurality of second placement grooves 12 and a plurality of second separation grooves 121 . The second placement grooves 12 correspond one-to-one to the first placement grooves 111 , and the second separation grooves 121 correspond one-to-one to the first separation grooves 112 .
[0046] By opening multiple second placement grooves 12 on both side walls of the box body 10, when placing the fluorescent slice, one end of the fluorescent slice is located inside the second placement groove 12, and the side wall formed by the second placement groove 12 and the box body 10 is used to limit one end of the fluorescent slice, thereby improving the stability of the fluorescent slice during the drying process.
[0047] By opening a plurality of second dividing grooves 121 on both side walls of the box body 10 and utilizing the second dividing grooves 121 in combination with the corresponding first dividing grooves 112, the glass slides can be placed compactly inside the box body 10, thereby facilitating the placement of more glass slides inside the box body 10. The glass slides described here are fluorescent slices after being coated with fluorescence.
[0048] The lower ends of the first dividing groove 112 and the second dividing groove 121 are higher than the inner bottom wall of the box body 10, and the height of the lower ends of the first dividing groove 112 and the second dividing groove 121 above the inner bottom wall of the box body 10 is greater than 5 cm. When the glass slide is placed vertically in the first dividing groove 112 and the second dividing groove 121, the distance between the lower end of the glass slide and the lower end of the box body 10 is convenient for fingers to pass through, thereby facilitating the operation of taking the glass slide.
[0049] Specifically, the box body 10 , the first connecting structure 101 , the partition 11 , the first placement groove 111 , the first separation groove 112 , the second placement groove 12 and the second separation groove 121 are integrally formed.
[0050] When in use, the box cover 20 is pulled upwards, one end of the fluorescent slices to be dried is placed in the second placement slot 12, and the rest are placed in the corresponding first placement slot 111, then the air outlet surface of the handheld fan is placed inside the limiting slot 22, and the handheld fan is limited by the support structure 221 in the limiting slot 22, and the handheld fan is turned on to dry the fluorescent slices placed in the box body 10. It should be noted that the setting of the notch of the limiting slot 22 can meet the placement of the blowing surface of a conventional handheld fan and can realize the blowing demand of the handheld fan on the inside of the box body 10;
[0051] When the box body 10 is used as a slide storage box, the slides are placed vertically into the corresponding first dividing groove 112 and second dividing groove 121 to complete the placement of the slides, and the cover plate 21 is inserted into the limiting notch 22. The limiting notch 22 is closed by the cover plate 21, and the box cover 20 is controlled to close the box body 10, so that the slides can be stored after being placed in the box body 10, realizing the multifunctional use of the box body 10;
[0052] When setting up the dark box, a plurality of limiting slots 22 can be set according to actual needs, and corresponding fans can be placed in the limiting slots 22 to meet actual operation needs.
[0053] In summary, compared with the existing technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0054] 1. By opening a limiting slot 22 on the box cover 20, during the drying process of the fluorescent slices, the air outlet surface of the handheld fan is placed in the limiting slot 22, and the support structure 221 is used to support the handheld fan in the limiting slot 22, thereby facilitating the drying operation of the fluorescent slices placed in the box body 10, solving the problem in the prior art that a handheld fan is required to blow dry the fluorescent slices, and improving the convenience of the fluorescent slice drying process.
[0055] 2. By setting the support structure 221 in the form of multiple U-shaped parts, support for the handheld fan is achieved. While maintaining the stability of the handheld fan after placement, the contact between the support structure 221 and the blowing surface of the handheld fan can be reduced, thereby facilitating the handheld fan's blowing operation on the fluorescent slices and ensuring the fluidity of the handheld fan's blowing during the process of the handheld fan blowing the fluorescent slices.
[0056] 3. By setting up multiple first placement grooves 111, it is possible to facilitate the placement of fluorescent slices when drying, and by setting up multiple first separation grooves 112, it is possible to reduce the contact area between the fluorescent slices and the partition 11 when the fluorescent slices are placed in the first placement grooves 111, and reduce the impact of moisture on the top of the partition 11 on the side of the fluorescent slice close to the partition 11 when the fluorescent slices are drying.
