[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0028] A medical pathology slide box for easy handling of glass slides 500 includes a box body 100. The box body 100 has a cavity with a top opening. The cavity has a plurality of partitions 200 arranged in sequence and spaced apart. The partitions 200 divide the cavity into a plurality of partition cavities 300 for placing glass slides 500. The partition cavities 300 are located between adjacent partitions 200.
[0029] The partition plate 200 has an inner side facing the partition cavity 300. The partition plate 200 is provided with a protrusion 400. When the protrusion 400 moves upward, it passes through the inner side of the partition plate 200 and is exposed in the partition cavity 300. When the protrusion 400 moves downward, it passes through the inner side of the partition plate 200 and is stored in the partition plate 200. The bottom of the partition cavity 300 is provided with an elastic structure that can deform elastically up and down.
[0030] When the glass slide 500 is inserted into the partition cavity 300 from top to bottom through the top opening of the cavity, and the elastic structure is compressed downwards, the protrusion 400 protrudes into the partition cavity 300, holding the glass slide 500 and fixing it inside the partition cavity 300; when the protrusion 400 is stored in the partition plate 200, the elastic structure returns to its original position upwards, driving the glass slide 500 to move toward the top opening of the partition cavity 300.
[0031] Thus, when the slide 500 is placed into the partition cavity 300 from top to bottom and pressed down to its limit, the elastic structure at the bottom of the partition cavity 300 is compressed, and the protrusion 400 clamps and fixes the slide 500 inside the partition cavity 300. When it is necessary to remove the slide 500, the protrusion 400 clamping the slide 500 is retracted into the partition plate 200, the clamping force of the protrusion 400 on the slide 500 disappears, the elastic structure at the bottom of the partition cavity 300 resets upward and drives the slide 500 to move upward. The upper end of the slide 500 protrudes from the top of the partition cavity 300, and the operator can grasp the part of the slide 500 that protrudes from the top of the partition cavity 300 and easily remove the slide 500.
[0032] The partition plate 200 is provided with a longitudinally inclined guide groove, which is inclined off the partition cavity 300 along the top-to-bottom direction; a movable strip 600 is provided in the guide groove and moves inclined along the guide groove; the guide groove forms a top opening at the top of the partition plate 200; the top of the movable strip 600 extends out of the top opening of the guide groove and extends upward to form an end section; the partition plate 200 is provided with a lateral opening that extends vertically, which connects the guide groove and the partition cavity 300; a protrusion 400 is provided on the movable strip 600 and is movably placed in the lateral opening;
[0033] When the moving bar 600 moves upward along the guide groove, the protrusion 400 moves away from the partition cavity 300 and is exposed in the partition cavity 300. When the moving bar 600 moves downward along the guide groove, the protrusion 400 moves toward the partition cavity 300 and is stored in the partition plate 200.
[0034] Place the glass slide 500 into the partition cavity 300 and press down on the elastic structure to compress it. The protruding head 400 protrudes from the side opening 201 and clamps the glass slide 500. When the top of the moving bar 600 is pressed down, the moving bar 600 contracts and drives the protruding head 400 to move downward. The protruding head 400 is stored in the guide groove and no longer clamps the glass slide 500. The elastic structure expands and drives the glass slide 500 to move upward. In this way, the upper end of the glass slide 500 protrudes from the top of the partition cavity 300. The operator can grasp the glass slide 500 protruding from the top of the partition cavity 300 and easily remove the glass slide 500.
[0035] The upper end of the side opening 201 extends through the top of the partition plate 200. The upper end of the side opening has a limiting piece 700, which limits the upward movement of the moving strip 600 to its extreme position, thus preventing the moving strip 600 from falling out of the side opening 201.
[0036] A tilting spring 601 is installed at the bottom of the moving bar 600. The tilting spring 601 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide groove, and the tilting spring 601 and the guide groove are arranged at an inclination in the same direction. In this way, after pressing the moving bar 600 downward to compress it and removing the slide 500, the moving bar 600 can automatically return to its original position under the action of the tilting spring 601, making it easy to put the slide 500 back in.
[0037] The protruding head 400 has a clamping surface that abuts against and holds the glass slide 500, and the clamping surface is arc-shaped. In this way, when the protruding head 400 clamps against and holds the glass slide 500, it will not scratch or damage the glass slide 500.
[0038] The elastic structure includes multiple spring bars 800 and a horizontal plate 900. The lower ends of the multiple spring bars 800 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the partition cavity 300, and the upper ends of the multiple spring bars 800 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate 900. When the glass slide 500 is inserted into the partition cavity 300 from top to bottom through the top opening of the partition cavity 300, the glass slide 500 moves downward against the top of the horizontal plate 900, and the multiple spring bars 800 are compressed downward. After the protrusion 400 is housed in the partition plate 200, the multiple spring bars 800 return to their original position upward, and the glass slide 500 is driven to move toward the top opening of the partition cavity 300 by the horizontal plate 900.
[0039] Thus, the glass slide 500 is placed into the partition cavity 300 from top to bottom, with the lower end of the glass slide 500 pressing against the horizontal plate 900. Continue to press the glass slide 500 downwards, and the horizontal plate 900 moves downwards to compress the spring strip 800, so that the spring strip 800 is subjected to uniform force.
[0040] The top of the horizontal plate 900 has an upward-facing pressing surface, and the downward-facing pressing surface is recessed to form a limiting groove. When the glass slide 500 presses against the pressing surface of the horizontal plate 900, the glass slide 500 is embedded in the limiting groove. The glass slide 500 and the horizontal plate 900 are fixed together by the limiting groove. After the protrusion 400 separates from the glass slide 500, the glass slide 500 will not tilt to either side, protecting the glass slide 500 and preventing scratches.
[0041] The outer periphery of the box 100 extends outward to form a snap-fit part, and two adjacent boxes 100 are connected together by snap-fit parts. In this way, when there are a large number of glass slides 500 and one box 100 cannot hold them all, multiple boxes 100 can be connected together by snap-fit parts, which facilitates storage and organization.
[0042] The snap-fit part includes a protrusion 110 and a snap-fit groove 120. The protrusion 110 has an outward outer wall, on which a plurality of longitudinal protrusions 111 are provided. The plurality of protrusions 111 are arranged around the outer wall of the protrusion 110. Correspondingly, the inner wall of the snap-fit groove 120 is provided with a plurality of longitudinal grooves 121, which are arranged around the inner wall of the snap-fit groove 120.
[0043] Adjacent boxes 100 are connected by a snap-fit mechanism where a protrusion 110 is embedded in a slot 120. After the protrusion 110 is embedded in the slot 120, the protrusion 111 is embedded in the groove 121. The snap-fit connection through the protrusion 111 and the groove 121 at multiple points makes the connection between the boxes 100 more stable, and the boxes 100 will not separate or fall out when tilted.
[0044] The box body 100 is provided with a cover that can be opened or closed by swinging the top opening of the cavity. One end of the cover is hinged to the box body 100, and the other end of the cover is provided with a snap-fit head that is connected to the box body 100. When the slide 500 is not in use, the opening can be closed with the cover to prevent the slide 500 from being contaminated.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
