Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically relating to a glass slide protection structure for a dyeing machine turntable. Background Technology

[0002] There are two main criteria for judging the staining effect of existing staining machines: one is that the background on both sides is clean; the other is that there are few water droplets on both sides. In order to achieve this standard, existing manufacturers mainly use a box structure to place the slides. However, the slides need to be centrifuged at high speed during the experiment. The existing box structure is prone to the following situations, which can easily cause the slides to fly out: (1) the slide size does not meet the requirements, (2) the slide is flipped up due to inertia during centrifugation, (3) the tail end of the slide is lifted up due to the outward centrifugal force, and (4) the slide is hit. The flying slides can also easily cause damage to other slides.

[0003] Meanwhile, during the centrifugal rotation of the slides, the staining machine also drips or sprays liquid onto the slides. This liquid needs to be spun dry, and existing manufacturers mainly solve this problem in two ways: 1. Using a box-type structure without any other protection for the slides; 2. Using a spring structure to hold the slides in place. Both methods have drawbacks. With the first method, water droplets may remain on the slides or the liquid may not be completely removed; with the second method, the spring structure is inconvenient to remove, and the springs are prone to aging in the humid staining environment.

[0004] Therefore, a device or component is needed to protect the slides during the use of the staining machine to ensure its normal operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the background art and provide a slide protection structure for the turntable of a staining machine. This protection structure will prevent the slide from flying out and ensure the staining effect.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A slide protection structure for a dyeing machine turntable includes a turntable and a cover plate that mates with the turntable. The turntable has a fixing hole in its center that connects to the cover plate. Multiple limiting plates are uniformly distributed in a ring around the turntable's center on its sidewalls. The turntable surface has a marking area corresponding to each limiting plate. Each limiting plate has a receiving groove for placing a slide, with protruding clearance grooves at its four corners. The bottom of the receiving groove has a support post for supporting the slide. A retrieval cavity is formed on the bottom of the receiving groove near the turntable. A limiting slot is formed on the bottom of the sidewall away from the turntable, with a spin-drying slope in the center of the limiting slot. The cover plate has fixing posts that mate with the fixing hole. Limiting protrusions corresponding to each retrieval cavity are formed around the cover plate. The slide is located within the space enclosed by the support post, limiting slot, and limiting protrusions. The cover plate surface has a display opening to avoid the marking area.

[0008] The depth of the limiting slot is 0.2 mm.

[0009] There are two fixing posts, which are symmetrical along the axis of the cover plate. There are four fixing holes, which are evenly distributed along the axis of the turntable. By inserting the fixing posts into different fixing holes, different recognition areas can be exposed in the display port.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the slide protection structure for the turntable of the dyeing machine provided by this utility model are as follows: by setting the turntable and the cover plate installed on the turntable, the slide can be limited to prevent the slide from flying out. At the same time, by processing the spin-drying inclined surface, the residual liquid can be spun out in time to ensure the spin-drying effect. Finally, the slide can be easily removed by processing the picking cavity. Attached Figure Description

[0018] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the slide protection structure for the turntable of a dyeing machine provided in this embodiment includes a turntable 1 and a cover plate 2 that cooperates with the turntable 1. The turntable 1 has four fixing holes 11 connected to the cover plate 2, arranged in a ring around the center of the turntable 1. Multiple limiting plates 12, arranged in a ring around the center of the turntable 1, are processed on the side walls of the turntable 1. In this embodiment, there are sixteen limiting plates 12. The surface of the turntable 1 has a corresponding marking area 13 for each limiting plate 12. The marking area 13 is used to label each limiting plate 12, making it easy to determine the position of the corresponding glass slide. The surface of each limiting plate 12 is machined with a receiving groove 121 for placing the glass slide. The four corners of the receiving groove 121 are machined with protruding clearance grooves 122. The bottom surface of the receiving groove 121 is machined with support pillars 123 to support the glass slide. The support pillars 123 can lift the glass slide, preventing excessive friction between the glass slide and the bottom of the receiving groove 121. A retrieval cavity 124 is machined on the bottom side of the receiving groove 121 near the turntable 1, allowing for convenient retrieval. The slide is removed from the pick-up cavity 124. By pressing the slide down into the pick-up cavity 124, one side of the slide can be tilted up. A limiting slot 125 is machined at the bottom of the side wall of the receiving groove 121 away from the turntable 1. The limiting slot 125 is used to limit the tail end of the slide to prevent the tail end of the slide from being thrown out under the action of centrifugal force. At the same time, the depth of the limiting slot 125 is 0.2 mm, which can avoid the problem of dirty background of the slide caused by the accumulation of dye solution. A spin-drying slope 126 is machined in the middle of the limiting slot. The spin-drying slope 126 can be used for centrifugation. Under the action of force, the dye solution is shaken out to avoid insufficient drying of the glass slide. The cover plate 2 is machined with fixing posts 21 that cooperate with fixing holes 11. The cover plate 2 is machined with limiting protrusions 22 corresponding to each picking cavity 124. The glass slide is located in the space surrounded by the support post 123, the limiting slot 125 and the limiting protrusions 22. The surface of the cover plate 2 is machined with a display port 23 that avoids the identification area. There are two fixing posts 21. By inserting the fixing posts 21 into different fixing holes 11, the display port 23 can expose different identification areas.

[0019] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0020] In use, place the slide on the support post 123 in the corresponding receiving slot 121 according to the marking area 13 on the turntable 1. At the same time, gently press the frosted area of ​​the slide to improve the stability of the slide. Then push one end of the slide towards the limiting slot 125, then cover it with the cover plate 2, insert the fixing post 21 into the corresponding fixing hole 11, and then perform the normal staining procedure. After staining is completed, remove the cover plate 2 of the turntable 1, gently touch the frosted area of ​​the standard slide and drag it backward to make the slide leave the limiting slot 125. Then press the frosted area of ​​the slide into the retrieval cavity 124. Since the retrieval cavity 124 is below the frosted area of ​​the standard slide, one end of the slide will be lifted at this time. The staff can then take out the slide for microscopic observation.

[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications and substitutions based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts provided by the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
