Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of film sealing machines, and in particular to an intelligent film sealing machine. Background Art

[0002] A slide is a piece of glass used to place objects when observing under a microscope. It is generally used in the field of biological research. In the production and processing of slides, many processes are often involved, including transferring the slides, dripping glue, covering with coverslips, etc.

[0003] At present, after the glass slides have completed the processing of the previous process, they will be inserted into the glass slide rack, and then the glass slide rack filled with glass slides will be manually transferred to the glue dripping process, and then the glass slides will be manually glued. After the glass slides have completed the glue dripping process, they will be transferred to the cover glass slide process for manual operation. After the glass slides have completed the cover glass slide process, they will be placed on the glass slide storage mechanism for centralized collection, thereby completing the processing process of the glass slides.

[0004] The above-mentioned process of manually transferring, dripping glue and covering the slide is relatively cumbersome and requires repetitive work. After a long working time, it is bound to cause fatigue to the staff, thereby affecting work efficiency. At the same time, in the actual dripping process, the xylene in the glue is easily inhaled by the human body, which can easily cause certain damage to human health. Summary of the invention

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the glass slide completes the glue dripping work on the turntable, the lifting member can be opened to lift up the stacked cover glass. At this time, the set adsorption member can transfer the adsorbed cover glass to the top of the glass slide under the cooperation of the seventh driving member and the fourth driving member, and cover the cover glass on the predetermined position of the glass slide.

[0025] The present invention further provides that: an identification code is attached to the glass slide, and a camera for scanning the identification code is provided on the workbench.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the identification code can be set to mark each slide, and the camera setting can take pictures of the identification code during the transportation of the slide to track it, which is convenient for subsequent search. At the same time, the staining method used for the slide can also be recorded throughout the process to facilitate traceability.

[0027] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] By setting up a feeding and conveying mechanism, the glass slide from the previous process can be automatically conveyed to the predetermined position of the workbench instead of manual labor, and the clamping device can transfer the glass slide to the predetermined position of the turntable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present invention, and it is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make non-creative modifications to this embodiment as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention, it is protected by the patent law.

[0040] This embodiment: an intelligent sealing machine, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a feeding and conveying mechanism arranged on a workbench, which can convey the glass slide rack on the previous process to a predetermined position on the workbench; a carrying plate 2 installed on the workbench; and a top plate 110 installed on a frame on the workbench, on which a glue dripping device, a cover device 40, a storage mechanism 50 and a transfer device are sequentially installed; the glue dripping device can drip glue onto a predetermined position of the glass slide, the cover device 40 can stick the cover glass onto the glass slide that has been glued, and the transfer device can transfer the glass slide on the carrying plate 2, and when the glass slide is covered with the cover glass, the transfer device will automatically push the glass slide to the storage mechanism 50 for centralized collection.

[0041] In this embodiment, the feed conveying mechanism, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a first conveying device for conveying glass slide racks is provided on the workbench, and a first manipulator is installed on the frame installed on the workbench. The first manipulator can clamp the glass slide rack filled with glass slides in the previous process to a predetermined position of the first conveying device; in addition, a second conveying device 20 is also provided on the workbench far away from the first conveying device, and a second manipulator is also installed on the frame. The second manipulator can clamp the glass slide rack on the first conveying device to the second conveying device 20, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the glass slides.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first conveying device includes: a first support plate 10 installed on the workbench; first pulleys 101 installed on both sides of the first support plate 10; and a first conveyor belt 102 connected between the first pulleys 101; a first carrying plate is detachably installed on the first conveyor belt 102, and a box body 103 for holding a glass slide rack is placed on the first carrying plate, and the number of the box bodies 103 is two, so that it can serve as a spare; in addition, a first drive motor 104 is also installed at the bottom of the first support plate 10, and the first drive motor 104 can drive the first pulley 101 to drive the first conveyor belt 102 to rotate.

[0043] The first manipulator includes: a top plate 110 installed on the frame of the workbench; a vertical plate 111 horizontally slidably connected to the top plate 110; a support plate 112 slidably connected to the vertical plate 111 along the vertical direction; and support bars 113 fixed on both sides of the support plate 112, the support bars 113 can match the glass slide rack and can be inserted into the ear plates on both sides of the glass slide rack; a first driving member for driving the support plate 112 is also installed on the vertical plate 111, and a second driving member for driving the vertical plate 111 to slide is installed on the top of the top plate 110. In this embodiment, the first driving member and the second driving member have the same structure, so only the first driving member is described.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first driving member includes: first conveying wheels 120 symmetrically installed on the top plate 110; a first belt 121 connected between the first conveying wheels 120; and a tenth motor installed on the top plate 110, which can drive the first conveying wheels 120 to drive the first belt 121 to rotate.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second manipulator has the same structure as the first manipulator, and therefore, only the first manipulator is described in this embodiment.

[0046] Among them, a third conveying device 30 is also arranged side by side on the workbench, and the conveying direction of the third conveying device 30 is consistent with the conveying direction of the second conveying device 20. In this embodiment, the third conveying device 30 is mainly composed of an input line and an output line, and the feeding and conveying mechanism of the sealing machine can realize functions in three modes.

[0047] 1. Online mode: refers to the mode of docking and linkage with the staining machine of the previous process, which can automatically remove the slide rack from the staining mechanism. The specific process is as follows:

[0048] When the glass slides on the staining machine of the previous process have been processed and filled with glass slide racks, the second driving member can be turned on to drive the vertical plate 111 to move toward the glass slide rack. At the same time, the tenth motor will drive the first conveyor wheel 120 to drive the first belt 121 to rotate. The cooperation between the tenth motor and the second driving member can make the support strips 113 on the support plate 112 inserted into the two sides of the glass slide rack, so as to lift the glass slide rack filled with glass slides and place it in the box body 103 of the first supporting plate; at this time, the first driving motor 104 will drive the first conveyor belt 102 to rotate, so that the glass slide rack in the box body 103 can be transported to a predetermined position.

[0049] When the glass slide rack in the box body 103 is transported to the predetermined position, the second robot will clamp the glass slide rack in the box body 103 and transport it to the predetermined position of the second conveying device 20. A transfer box needs to be placed on the second conveying device 20 in advance, and the glass slide rack will be directly transferred to the transfer box, so as to facilitate the subsequent glue dripping and cover glass slide processes of the slide. After the slides are taken out, the second robot will transfer the empty glass slide rack to the predetermined position of the third conveying device, thereby pushing the empty glass slide rack out.

[0050] The second conveying device 20 and the third conveying device 30 in this embodiment have the same structure, and in this embodiment, only necessary description is given for the third conveying device 30 .

[0051] The third conveying device 30 includes: a hollow supporting platform 130 installed on the workbench; second pulleys 131 installed on both sides of the supporting platform 130; a second conveyor belt 132 connected between the second pulleys 131; and a second driving motor 133 installed on the supporting platform 130, which can drive the second pulley 131 to drive the second conveyor belt 132 to rotate.

[0052] 2. Manual mode: refers to the mode without docking with the staining machine, mainly by manually placing the slide rack, the specific process is as follows:

[0053] When manual transport of the slide rack is adopted, the slide rack with the slides can be directly placed in the transfer box first, and then the transfer box can be placed on the second conveyor belt 132 of the third conveying device 30, and then the second drive motor 133 is turned on to drive the second conveyor belt 132 to transport the slide rack to the predetermined position of the workbench. At this time, the second manipulator will transfer the slide rack to the predetermined position of the second conveying device 20, and at the same time, the second conveying device 20 will transport the empty slide rack out. During the whole process, the slide rack is always in the transfer box.

[0054] 3. Linkage mode means that in the above online mode, manual mode can be performed at the same time. The specific process is as follows:

[0055] In addition, weight sensors are provided on both the second conveying device 20 and the third conveying device 30. When it is detected that there is an adapter box with a glass slide rack on the third conveying device 30, at this time, if it is detected that there is a glass slide rack that has not completed the transfer on the second conveying device 20, the subsequent process of the glass slide will be completed first. After the glass slide is taken, the second robot will first transfer the empty glass slide rack that has been processed on the second conveying device 20 to the third conveying device 30 and push it out. At this time, there is still an empty adapter box on the second conveying device 20. The second robot will automatically transfer the adapter box on the second conveying device 20 to a predetermined position on the first conveying device for caching.

[0056] After completing the above work, the slide rack transfer box on another track on the third conveyor device 30 will be transported to the interior of the machine. At this time, the second robot will transfer it to the second conveyor device 20. After completing the slide retrieval work, the slide rack and the transfer box will be transported together, and then the second robot will transport the transfer box on the first conveyor device back to the second conveyor device 20.

[0057] In addition, the second conveying device 20 and the third conveying device 30 in this embodiment are both arranged on the supporting platform 130, and baffles are installed on the edges of the supporting platform 130. The baffles can restrict and protect the glass slide rack being conveyed on the supporting platform 130 to a certain extent, and can reduce the situation where the glass slide rack slides out of the supporting platform 130.

[0058] The transfer device includes: a turntable 201 (such as Figure 1 As shown); a tenth motor installed at the bottom of the carrying plate 2 for driving the turntable 201 to rotate, and a pushing component installed on the top plate 110 for pushing the slide on the turntable 201 to the storage mechanism. In addition, a cross-shaped slide groove is provided on the carrying surface of the turntable 201, which can facilitate the transportation of the slide and reduce the deviation of the direction of the slide.

[0059] like Figure 4As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of the clamping device in this embodiment, a first mounting plate 210 perpendicular to the top plate 110 is installed on the top plate 110, a first slide 211 is slidably connected to the first mounting plate 210 in a vertical direction, and a power component for driving the first slide 211 to slide is also installed on the first mounting plate. The power component in this embodiment has the same structure as the first driving member and is not explained here; in addition, a clamping component is installed on the first slide 211, and a third driving member for driving the clamping component to rotate is also installed on the first slide 211.

[0060] In this embodiment, the third driving member includes: a driving wheel 2110 and a driven wheel 2111 mounted on the first slide 211 for driving the mounting block to rotate; a belt 2112 connected between the driving wheel 2110 and the driven wheel 2111; and a third driving motor 2113 mounted on the first slide 211 for driving the driving wheel 2110 to rotate. When the third driving motor 2113 is turned on, the belt 2112 can be driven to rotate through the driving wheel 2110 and the driven wheel 2111, thereby driving the clamping assembly on the mounting block to rotate.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping assembly includes: a positioning circuit board 223 installed on the mounting block; a clamping strip 224 symmetrically connected to the positioning circuit board 223 by sliding movement; an elastic member 226 installed between the clamping strips 224 for driving the two to move away from each other; and a cylinder 222 installed on the positioning circuit board 223, and a U-shaped block 225 for pressing the clamping strip 224 is fixed to the top end of the piston rod of the cylinder 222, and the elastic member 226 can be a compression spring. Since the cylinder 222 itself has the function of automatic expansion and contraction, it opens when ventilated and can be automatically tightened when deflated. Therefore, in other embodiments, the compression spring may not be required. In addition, a proximity switch is also installed on the clamping device, and the proximity switch is used to monitor the glass slide rack on the second conveying device.

[0062] When the second manipulator transfers the slide rack to a predetermined position on the second conveying device 20, the proximity switch will detect the slide rack on the second conveying device. When it is detected that there is a slide in the slide rack, the proximity switch will control the opening of the power component. The power component can drive the first slide 211 to move up and down, so that the clamp 224 moves to a predetermined height, and then turn on the third drive motor 2113 and the cylinder 222. The cooperation between the third drive motor 2113 and the cylinder 222 can enable the clamp 224 to clamp the slide on the slide rack, and then the third drive motor 2113 can drive the slide to rotate to the slide groove of the turntable 201.

[0063] Among them, Figure 1As shown, the glue dropping device includes: a liquid storage tank 220 installed on a workbench for storing glue; and a glue dropping head 221 assembled with a pushing component, and the liquid storage tank 220 and the glue dropping head 221 are connected through a hose.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the pushing assembly includes: a third slide seat slidably connected to the top plate 110 along a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveying device 20; and an eighth driving member installed on the top plate 110 for driving the third slide seat to slide. The structure of the eighth driving member in this embodiment is the same as that of the first driving member and is not explained here. In addition, a push bar 260 is installed on the third slide seat, and the end of the push bar 260 away from the third slide seat is in the slide groove of the turntable 201, and the glue dropping head 221 is installed together with the third slide seat. When the turntable 201 rotates the glass slide to the glue dropping station, the glue dropping head 221 will automatically drop the glue liquid to the predetermined position on the glass slide.

[0065] like Figure 6 As shown, the cover glass device includes: a second mounting plate 230 slidably connected to the top plate 110 along the moving direction of the third slide seat; a seventh driving member mounted on the top plate 110 for driving the second mounting plate 230 to slide; a second slide seat 231 slidably connected to the second mounting plate 230 along the vertical direction; and a fourth driving member mounted on the second mounting plate 230 for driving the second slide seat 231 to slide. It also includes a carrying box 232 mounted on the carrying plate 2 for holding the cover glass; an adsorbing member mounted on the second slide seat 231 for adsorbing the cover glass; and a lifting member mounted on the carrying plate 2 for lifting the cover glass.

[0066] In this embodiment, the structures of the seventh driving member and the fourth driving member are the same as those of the first driving member, and are not described one by one here.

[0067] The adsorption component includes: a fixed block 261 fixed on the second slide 231; and a rotating block 262 hinged on one side of the bottom of the fixed block 261; a plurality of adsorption holes connected to the vacuum pump are provided on the rotating block 262; in addition, a detection component for monitoring cracks on the surface of the cover glass is also installed on the top plate 110, and the detection component is electrically connected to the alarm light. In this embodiment, the detection component can be a light sensor. When the detection component detects cracks on the surface of the cover glass, the alarm light will send a signal to remind the staff to take away the cover glass containing the cracks.

[0068] When the adsorption member is working, the fourth driving member and the seventh driving member cooperate with each other so that the side of the rotating block 262 away from the hinged end is in contact with the cover glass in the supporting box 232 in advance, and then the rotating block 262 is completely in contact with the cover glass. At this time, the adsorption hole will adsorb the cover glass, and with the cooperation of the fourth driving member and the seventh driving member, the cover glass is covered on the slide where the glue is dripped.

[0069] like Figure 7 As shown, the lifting member includes: a servo motor 233 installed on the supporting plate 2; a top block 234 slidably connected in the supporting box 232 along the vertical direction for supporting the cover glass; and a first screw rod 235 assembled with the output shaft of the servo motor 233, the first screw rod 235 vertically passes through the top block 234, when a cover glass in the supporting box 232 is adsorbed away, the servo motor 233 will automatically drive the first screw rod 235 to rotate, so that the top block 234 rises, so that the topmost cover glass is always within the adsorption range of the adsorption member.

[0070] like Figure 8 As shown, the storage mechanism includes: a third mounting plate 240 mounted on a frame on a workbench; a transverse plate 241 slidably connected to the third mounting plate 240 in a vertical direction; and a slide plate 242 slidably connected to the transverse plate 241 in a horizontal direction. A fifth driving member for driving the transverse plate 241 to slide is mounted on the third mounting plate 240, and a sixth driving member for driving the slide plate 242 to slide is mounted on the transverse plate 241. In addition, a storage plate 243 for carrying glass slides is stacked on the slide plate 242, and the storage plate 243 allows the glass slides to be neatly placed thereon.

[0071] In this embodiment, the fifth driving member includes: a fifth servo motor 244 mounted on the third mounting plate 240; and a fifth screw rod 245 assembled with the output shaft of the fifth servo motor 244, the fifth screw rod 245 passes through the horizontal plate 241, and when the fifth servo motor 244 is turned on, the horizontal plate 241 can be easily driven to rise and fall by the fifth screw rod 245, so that the height of the top storage plate 243 is matched with the height of the turntable 201, which facilitates the glass slide to be pushed onto the storage plate 243. In addition, the structure of the sixth driving member is the same as that of the fifth transmission member, which is not described in this embodiment. When the sixth driving member is turned on, the slide plate 242 can drive the storage plate 243 to move along the horizontal plate 241, so that the position of the glass slide to be placed on the storage plate 243 corresponds to the slide groove of the turntable 201, which facilitates the transfer of the glass slide.

[0072] In addition, an L-shaped enclosure 251 is installed on the edge of the slide 242. The enclosure 251 can protect the stacked storage plates 243 to a certain extent. On the one hand, it can make the storage plates 243 fit neatly with the enclosure 251, which has a certain calibration effect on the storage plates 243. On the other hand, it can reduce the collapse of the storage plates 243 during stacking or moving, thereby further improving the stability of the slide collection.

[0073] Among them, identification codes will be affixed during the production process of glass slides, and a camera for scanning identification codes is installed on the workbench above the turntable 201. The identification code can mark each glass slide, and the camera can take pictures of the identification code during the transportation of the glass slides to track it. At the same time, the staining method used for the glass slides can be recorded throughout the process to facilitate traceability.
