[0056] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. Although the description of the present invention is presented in conjunction with preferred embodiments, this does not mean that the features of the invention are limited to these embodiments. On the contrary, the purpose of describing the invention in conjunction with embodiments is to cover other options or modifications that may be derived based on the claims of the present invention. To provide a deep understanding of the invention, many specific details will be included in the following description. The invention may also be implemented without using these details. Furthermore, to avoid confusion or obscuring the focus of the invention, some specific details will be omitted in the description. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0057] refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a glass slide placement device 1, comprising: a support portion 10, preferably, the support portion 10 being plate-shaped. The support portion 10 is provided with a first limiting portion 11, the first limiting portion 11 being used for positioning along a first direction (…). Figure 1 and Figure 3 (As shown in the X direction) defines the upper surface of the received glass slide 40. Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 It also includes a pushing portion 20 and a pressing portion 30 spaced apart along a first direction. Preferably, the pushing portion 20 and the pressing portion 30 are located on opposite sides of the support portion 10 along the first direction. The pushing portion 20 is provided on the support portion 10 and can be positioned along a second direction (…). Figure 1(As shown in the Y direction) it can move between a first position and a second position, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. Preferably, the pushing part 20 is capable of moving along the second direction (as shown in the Y direction). Figure 1 (As shown in the Y direction) It generates relative movement with the support part 10.

[0058] A pressing part 30 is provided on the support part 10. The pressing part 30 is used to define the lower surface of the glass slide 40 along the first direction. The pressing part 30 and the pushing part 20 can generate relative movement along the second direction.

[0059] When the pushing part 20 is in the first position, that is, when the pushing part 20 is in the initial position, the pressing part 30 and the first limiting part 11 have a first distance along the first direction; when the pushing part 20 is in the second position, the pressing part 30 and the first limiting part 11 have a second distance along the first direction, and the second distance is greater than the first distance.

[0060] Specifically, before placing the slide 40, the pushing part 20 is controlled to move in the second direction away from the first limiting part 11, switching from a first position to a second position. The distance between the pressing part 30 and the first limiting part 11 increases, making it easier to place the slide 40. After placing the slide, the pushing part 20 is controlled to move in the second direction toward the first limiting part 11, switching from the second position to the first position. The distance between the pressing part 30 and the first limiting part 11 decreases, and the pressing part 30 applies a pressing force along the first direction to the slide 40 to clamp the slide 40 placed between the pressing part 30 and the first limiting part 11. At this time, the upper surface of the slide 40 is in contact with and defined by the first limiting part 11; the lower surface of the slide 40 is in contact with and defined by the pressing part 30. That is, the slide 40 is pressed in the first direction, which improves the stability of the slide 40 when placed on the receiving device 1, and facilitates the stable observation of the sample on the slide 40 in the future.

[0061] In other words, the pushing part 20 can move in the second direction away from the first limiting part 11 ( Figure 1 and Figure 4 The pressing part 30 moves in the first direction (as shown in the C direction) to drive the pressing part 30 in the first direction in a direction away from the first limiting part 11 (as shown in the C direction). Figures 2 to 4 As shown in direction A, the distance between the pressing part 30 and the first limiting part 11 increases as the pressing part 20 moves in the second direction toward the first limiting part 11. Alternatively, the pressing part 20 can move in the second direction toward the first limiting part 11. Figure 1 and Figure 4The pressing part 30 moves in the first direction (as shown in the D direction) to drive the pressing part 30 in the first direction along the direction toward the first limiting part 11 (as shown in the D direction). Figures 2 to 4 As shown in the B direction, the distance between the pressing part 30 and the first limiting part 11 decreases, so as to apply a pressing force along the first direction to the glass slide 40 housed between the pressing part 30 and the first limiting part 11.

[0062] Preferably, the support portion 10 is further provided with a second limiting portion 12, which can define the lower surface of the glass slide 40 along the first direction. The first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 12 are along the first direction ( Figure 1 and Figure 3 A support space Q is formed (as shown in the X direction) to accommodate the glass slide 40. Preferably, the support space Q has an opening that penetrates the support portion 10 along the first direction. The specific arrangement of the first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 12 is not limited, but preferably, the first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 12 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction.

[0063] The number of first limiting portions 11 is not limited, and they can define the upper surface of the glass slide 40 along the first direction; the number of second limiting portions 12 is not limited, and they can define the lower surface of the glass slide 40 along the first direction. Preferably, refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the number of first limiting parts 11 is three, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 The number of second limiting portions 12 is two. Preferably, the first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 12 are plate-shaped.

[0064] The pushing part 20 is capable of moving in the second direction away from the bearing space Q. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The pusher 20 can move in the second direction (as shown in the C direction), that is, the pusher 20 can move in the second direction away from the first limiting part 11 (as shown in the C direction). Figure 1 and Figure 4 The pressure part 30 moves in the first direction (as shown in the C direction) and switches from the first position to the second position; thereby driving the pressure part 30 to move in the first direction away from the bearing space Q (as shown in the C direction). Figures 2 to 4 The pressing part 30 is driven to move in the first direction (as shown in direction A), that is, to move away from the first limiting part 11 and the second limiting part 12 in the first direction (as shown in direction A). Figures 2 to 4 (Movement in direction A)

[0065] Alternatively, the pushing part 20 can be positioned in the second direction along the direction toward the bearing space Q ( Figure 1 and Figure 4 The pusher 20 can move in the second direction (as shown in the D direction), that is, the pusher 20 can move in the direction toward the first limiting part 11 in the second direction (as shown in the D direction).Figure 1 and Figure 4 the second position to the first position; to drive the pressing part 30 to move in the first direction along a direction towards the bearing space Q (indicated by the direction B in FIG. 4B), i.e. to drive the pressing part 30 to move in the first direction along a direction towards the first limiting part 11 and the second limiting part 12 (indicated by the direction A in FIG. 4A), to apply a pressing force along the first direction to the slide 40 accommodated in the bearing space Q. Figures 2 to 4 the second position to the first position; to drive the pressing part 30 to move in the first direction along a direction towards the bearing space Q (indicated by the direction B in FIG. 4B), i.e. to drive the pressing part 30 to move in the first direction along a direction towards the first limiting part 11 and the second limiting part 12 (indicated by the direction A in FIG. 4A), to apply a pressing force along the first direction to the slide 40 accommodated in the bearing space Q. Figures 2 to 4 the second position to the first position; to drive the pressing part 30 to move in the first direction along a direction towards the bearing space Q (indicated by the direction B in FIG. 4B), i.e. to drive the pressing part 30 to move in the first direction along a direction towards the first limiting part 11 and the second limiting part 12 (indicated by the direction A in FIG. 4A), to apply a pressing force along the first direction to the slide 40 accommodated in the bearing space Q.

[0066] Specifically, before the slide 40 is placed in the bearing space Q, the pressing part 30 is driven to move in the first direction along a direction away from the bearing space Q (indicated by the direction B in FIG. 4B) by controlling the pushing part 20 to move in the second direction along a direction away from the bearing space Q (indicated by the direction C in FIG. 4C), to facilitate the placement of the slide 40. After the placement of the slide 40 in the bearing space Q is completed, the lower surface of the slide 40 is in abutment with and defined by the second limiting part 12, and the pressing part 30 is driven to move in the first direction along a direction towards the bearing space Q (indicated by the direction B in FIG. 4B) by controlling the pushing part 20 to move in the second direction along a direction towards the bearing space Q (indicated by the direction C in FIG. 4C), to apply a pressing force along the first direction to the slide 40 accommodated in the bearing space Q, to clamp the slide 40 placed in the bearing space Q.

[0067] Preferably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first limiting part 11 and the pushing part 20 are located on the same side of the support part 10, and the second limiting part 12 and the pressing part 30 are located on the same side of the support part 10; after the pressing part 30 applies the pressing force along the first direction to the slide 40, the slide 40 is in abutment with the first limiting part 11 in the first direction. Further preferably, the second limiting part 12 and the pushing part 20 are located on the same side of the support part 10, and the first limiting part 11 and the pressing part 30 are located on the same side of the support part 10; after the pressing part 30 applies the pressing force along the first direction to the slide 40, the slide 40 is in abutment with the second limiting part 12 in the first direction.

[0068] Preferably, the first limiting part 11 is a plurality of and arranged in a staggered manner, and the second limiting part 12 is a plurality of and arranged in a staggered manner. In this way, on the one hand, when the slide 40 is placed in the bearing space Q, the plurality of second limiting parts 12 define the lower surface of the slide 40, which can stably carry the slide 40; on the other hand, after the slide 40 is clamped in the first direction, the plurality of first limiting parts 11 determine a plane that defines the upper surface of the slide 40, and the lower surface of the slide 40 is defined by the pressing part 30, so that the slide 40 can be stably clamped in the first direction.

[0069] Preferably, refer to Figure 10 The first limiting part 11 is multiple and staggered to prevent the glass slide 40 from moving along the third direction ( Figure 10 The slide 40 (as shown in the Z-direction) is accommodated in the support space Q and then detached from the support space Q. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. A plurality of first limiting parts 11 jointly define the upper surface of the slide 40, preventing the slide 40 from being overturned and detached from the support space Q by external force during the clamping process along the first direction.

[0070] Preferably, continue to refer to Figure 10 Along the third direction, the carrying space Q includes a starting region Q1 and a ending region Q2. The glass slide 40 can move from the starting region Q1 to the ending region Q2 to be accommodated in the carrying space Q. The starting region Q1 and the ending region Q2 are respectively provided with the first limiting part 11. Figure 10 As shown, two first limiting parts 11 are provided at the starting region Q1, and the two first limiting parts 11 are arranged opposite each other along the second direction; three first limiting parts 11 are provided at the ending region Q2, of which two first limiting parts 11 are arranged opposite each other along the second direction, and the other first limiting part 11 is arranged opposite to the slide 40 along the third direction before the slide 40 moves to the ending region Q2.

[0071] Thus, after the slide 40 is accommodated in the support space Q, the two ends of the slide 40 in the third direction are respectively limited by the first limiting part 11 of the starting region Q1 and the ending region Q2, preventing the slide 40 from leaving the support space Q, thereby making the slide 40 stably clamped in the first direction.

[0072] It should be noted that the movement mode of the pressing part 30 driven by the pushing part 20 is not limited. It can move in the first direction away from or towards the bearing space Q, that is, it can move in the first direction away from or towards the first limiting part 11 and the second limiting part 12.

[0073] Preferably, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 During the movement of the pushing part 20 along the second direction between the first position and the second position, the pushing part 20 drives the pressing part 30 to connect with the support part 10 at the connection point. Figure 4 The clamping part 30 moves in a pitching motion with L as the fulcrum, so that it moves away from (as shown in the middle L) in the first direction. Figures 3 to 4 (as shown in direction A) or towards ( Figures 3 to 4 (As shown in direction B) The first limiting part 11 moves in the direction shown.

[0074] Preferably, the pressing part 30 performs a pitching motion, so that the pressing part 30 moves in the first direction away from or towards the carrying space Q. That is, the pushing part 20 drives the pressing part 30 to rotate around the connecting point (indicated by L) of the support part 10 while moving in the second direction. Figure 4

[0075] Referring to Figure 5 , the pushing part 20 is in the initial position, the pushing part 20 is arranged parallel to the pressing part 30, both are relatively static, and the included angle between them is 0°. Referring to Figure 4 , the pushing part 20 moves in the second direction away from the first limiting part 11 (indicated by C direction), drives the pressing part 30 to rotate around the connecting point (indicated by L) of the support part 10 in the first direction away from the first limiting part 11 (indicated by A direction), and the included angle between the pushing part 20 and the pressing part 30 increases. Figure 4 Figure 4 Figure 4

[0076] Alternatively, the pushing part 20 can move in the second direction towards the first limiting part 11 (indicated by D direction), drive the pressing part 30 to rotate around the connecting point (indicated by L) of the support part 10 in the first direction towards the first limiting part 11 (indicated by B direction), and the included angle between the pushing part 20 and the pressing part 30 decreases until the pressing part 30 contacts the slide glass 40 and applies a pressing force along the first direction to the slide glass 40. Figure 4 Figure 4 Figure 4

[0077] It should be noted that Figure 4 the pushing part 20 shown by the solid line is in the initial position, and the pressing part 30 shown by the solid line is in the initial position; the pushing part 20 shown by the dashed line represents the position of the pushing part 20 after movement, and the pressing part 30 shown by the dashed line represents the position of the pressing part 30 after movement.

[0078] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , further preferably, the pushing part 20 can move in the second direction while the pressing part 30 moves in the first direction in parallel to the carrying space Q, that is, the pressing part 30 moves in the first direction in parallel to the first limiting part 11, away from (indicated by A direction) or towards (indicated by B direction) Figure 3 Figure 5 Figure 3 Figure 5 ​​​​​​​​​​(As shown in direction B) The first limiting part 11 moves in the direction shown.

[0079] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The clamping part 30 has a force-applying end 32 and a mounting end 31 connected together, along the second direction ( Figure 2 (As shown in the Y direction), the force-applying end 32 is closer to the bearing space Q than the mounting end 31, that is, the force-applying end 32 is closer to the first limiting part 11 than the mounting end 31. The mounting end 31 is connected to the support part 10. The clamping part 30 can perform the pitching motion with the connection point between the mounting end 31 and the support part 10 as the fulcrum. During the pitching motion, the force-applying end 32 can move in the first direction away from or towards the bearing space Q, that is, the force-applying end 32 can move in the first direction away from or towards the first limiting part 11. Preferably, the force-applying end 32 is at least partially located in the bearing space Q. The connection method between the mounting end 31 and the support part 10 is not limited, as long as the pitching motion can be performed with the connection point with the support part 10 as the fulcrum. Preferably, the mounting end 31 and the support part 10 are elastically connected.

[0080] Preferably, refer to Figure 6 The force-applying end 32 extends along the second direction. (Reference) Figure 2 The force-applying end 32 consists of two parts, along a third direction ( Figure 2 The plates (as shown in the Z-direction) are spaced apart and parallel to each other, increasing the contact area between the force-applying end 32 and the glass slide 40, and enhancing the clamping force applied by the force-applying end 32 to the glass slide 40 in the first direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

When the pushing part 20 moves along the second direction, the first blocking part 21 and the second blocking part 33 abut against each other to drive the pressing part 30 to perform the pitching motion.

(Reference) Figure 4While the pushing part 20 moves in the second direction away from the first limiting part 11, the first blocking part 21 abuts against the second blocking part 33, and the pressing part 30 is subjected to a force in the first direction, which is equivalent to the pressing part 30 being "pressed down", so that the pressing part 30 rotates in the first direction away from the first limiting part 11 with the connection point with the support part 10 as the fulcrum.

[0083] Alternatively, when the pushing part 20 moves in the second direction toward the first limiting part 11, it is equivalent to the pushing part 20 being reset, the first blocking part 21 and the second blocking part 33 abutting against each other, thereby the pressing part 30 being reset, so that the pressing part 30 rotates in the first direction toward the first limiting part 11 with the connection point with the support part 10 as the fulcrum.

[0084] Preferably, during the movement of the pushing part 20 along the second direction, the first blocking part 21 and the second blocking part 33 roll into contact, reducing the friction between the first blocking part 21 and the second blocking part 33. Simultaneously, the pressing part 30 is easily driven by the pushing part 20 to perform the pitching motion. (Reference) Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first abutting part 21 is a lever inclined toward the first limiting part 11; that is, the first abutting part 21 is a lever inclined toward the bearing space Q.

The mounting end 31 is provided with a through hole 34, and the protrusion 13 is located in the through hole 34, which can restrict the movement of the pressing portion 30 in the second direction. That is, after the protrusion 13 is provided, the pressing portion 30 can not only be elastically connected to the support portion 10, but its movement in the second direction is also restricted, so that the pressing portion 30 and the support portion 10 are stably elastically connected without shaking.

[0091] Further preferably, the pressing part 30 and the pushing and tightening part 20 are connected through a gear, and the pushing and tightening part 20 can drive the pressing part 30 to pitch around the connecting point with the support part 10 while moving in the second direction.

After the glass slide 40 is completely accommodated in the bearing space Q, the support part 10 is controlled to stop moving in the third direction.

[0123] At this time, the support part 10 is controlled to move away from the external blocking part 70 in the second direction, so that the end of the second part 62 of the lever assembly 60 that is not connected to the first part 61 of the lever assembly 60 is separated from the external blocking part 70, and the pushing part 20 is switched from the second position to the first position to clamp the glass slide 40 contained in the carrying space Q.

Preferably, the force-receiving end 23 is perpendicular to the body portion 20a. Along the third direction, the pressing end 22 is located between the force-receiving end 23 and the first abutment portion 21.

[0125] Preferably, it further includes a limiting member 67, disposed on the support portion 10, for limiting the endpoint of the lever assembly 60's reverse rotation around the pivot. Preferably, the limiting member 67 is a limiting pin perpendicular to the support portion 10. Preferably, the limiting member 67 abuts against the second portion 62. Due to the provision of the third elastic member 65, one end of which is connected to the lever assembly 60 and the other end to the support portion 10, the lever assembly 60 will rotate in the opposite direction around the pivot during the transition from a stretched state to a stretched state. The presence of the limiting member 67 can limit the endpoint of the lever assembly 60's reverse rotation around the pivot, thus restricting the lever assembly 60 from wobbling when it is in the first position.

[0126] In addition, the lever assembly 60 is limited in shaking in the initial position, i.e. in the first position, due to the presence of the limiting member 67. Preferably, in the first position, the end of the first part 61 of the lever assembly 60, which is not connected to the second part 62 of the lever assembly 60, abuts against the pusher 20, so that the pusher 20 is also limited in shaking in the second direction.

[0127] The present application also provides a microscope system comprising the slide receiving and releasing device 1 according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0128] In summary, the above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical thought of the present application shall be covered by the claims of the present application.
