Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of staining machines for pathological cell staining, and in particular relates to an automated staining machine for cleaning and adding staining solution based on the movement of the staining vat. Background Technology
[0002] Cell staining is a method that uses staining reagents to stain cells sequentially, changing their color. Its purpose is to better observe and analyze the pathological characteristics of cells, thereby aiding in disease diagnosis and treatment. However, it still has the following drawbacks in practical use:
[0003] While existing pathological cell staining methods have improved the staining effect and efficiency, the purity of each staining solution becomes turbid with the number of staining cycles, which will seriously affect the staining effect. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the same staining solution with a new one without affecting the staining effect.
[0004] Therefore, existing dyeing machines based on the movement of dyeing vats for automated cleaning and dyeing solution addition cannot meet the needs of actual use. As a result, there is an urgent need for improved technologies on the market to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dyeing machine based on the movement of a dyeing vat for automated cleaning and dyeing solution addition. By using a three-axis linkage system, a high-temperature dewaxing component, a dyeing vat body, and an automatic cleaning and dyeing solution addition component, the dyeing effect and efficiency can be improved while replacing the dyeing solution inside the dyeing vat body without affecting the dyeing effect.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] The present invention is an automated cleaning and dyeing solution addition dyeing machine based on the movement of dyeing vat, including a base plate and a slide holder. A fixing trough is provided at the front part of the upper part of the base plate, and a high temperature dewaxing component is provided at the upper part of the base plate to the left of the fixing trough.
[0008] The high-temperature dewaxing component mainly consists of a high-temperature chamber, an insulation cover, and an electric linear drive module.
[0009] An automatic discharge assembly is installed at the upper end of the base plate on the right side of the fixed slot frame;
[0010] The automatic feeding assembly mainly consists of a motor drive module, a feeding trough frame, and an adapter plate;
[0011] The dyeing vat body is installed on the upper part of the base plate behind the fixed tank frame, and there are multiple dyeing vat bodies. An automatic cleaning and dyeing liquid addition assembly is installed on the upper part of the base plate to the left of the dyeing vat body.
[0012] A three-axis linkage system is fixed at the upper end of the base plate.
[0013] Furthermore, there are two fixed slots, and each fixed slot has five slots at its upper end, with the slide holder located inside the slots of the fixed slot.
[0014] Furthermore, casters are fixed to the lower side of the base plate.
[0015] Furthermore, the lower part of the front side of the heat insulation cover is fixedly connected to the moving module of the electric linear drive module, and a primary inductive optocoupler is fixed to the front side of the electric linear drive module.
[0016] Furthermore, insulation cotton is installed between the insulation cover and the high-temperature chamber, and the insulation cotton is fixedly connected to the insulation cover.
[0017] Furthermore, a guide rail is fixed to the rear side of the high-temperature chamber, and the guide rail is slidably connected to the rear side wall of the insulation cover.
[0018] Furthermore, a secondary inductive optocoupler is fixed to the front side of the motor drive module, and the adapter plate is connected to the moving module of the motor drive module by bolts.
[0019] Furthermore, the lower side of the feeding trough is fixedly connected to the adapter plate, and the inside of the feeding trough stores a glass slide rack.
[0020] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] This invention utilizes a three-axis linkage system, a high-temperature dewaxing component, a dyeing vat body, and an automatic cleaning and dyeing solution replenishment component. After a slide holder is placed inside a fixed tray, the three-axis linkage system sequentially places the slide holder into the high-temperature dewaxing component and then into the dyeing vat body. Thus, after being treated at high temperature, the slide holder is rapidly dyed inside the dyeing vat body. Simultaneously, the three-axis linkage system moves the dyeing vat body to the automatic cleaning and dyeing solution replenishment component. This component automatically discards the dye solutions from seven different dyeing vats, cleans the vats, and adds fresh dye solution to each. The three-axis linkage system then repositions the cleaned dyeing vats back to their original positions, thereby improving dyeing effectiveness and efficiency while replacing the dye solutions inside the dyeing vat body without affecting the dyeing result.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this invention is an automated dyeing machine for cleaning and adding dyeing solution based on the movement of the dyeing vat. It includes a base plate 1 and a slide holder 8. A fixed tray 7 is provided at the front of the upper part of the base plate 1. A high-temperature dewaxing assembly 3 is provided on the upper part of the base plate 1 to the left of the fixed tray 7. The high-temperature dewaxing assembly 3 mainly consists of a high-temperature chamber 301, a heat-insulating cover 302, and an electric linear drive module 303. An automatic discharge assembly 5 is provided on the upper part of the base plate 1 to the right of the fixed tray 7. The automatic discharge assembly 5 mainly consists of a motor drive module 50. 1. The feeding trough frame 503 and the adapter plate 504 are composed of a dyeing vat body 6 on the upper end of the base plate 1 behind the fixed trough frame 7, and multiple dyeing vat bodies 6 are provided. An automatic cleaning and dyeing liquid addition assembly 4 is provided on the upper end of the base plate 1 to the left of the dyeing vat body 6. A three-axis linkage system 2 is fixed on the upper end of the base plate 1. The three-axis linkage system 2 can go to any coordinate position in the area according to the control path (the three axes are X, Y and Z axes, and the X axis is gear and rack drive, the Y axis is motor screw drive, and the Z axis is synchronous belt drive).
[0030] With the above-described structure in place, the specific implementation and operation of this device are as follows:
[0031] The slides are placed into the slide holder 8 by manual feeding. Multiple slide holders 8 are placed into the slots of the fixed slot 7. Each fixed slot 7 holds five fully loaded slide holders 8. A photosensitive sheet is fixed on the bottom side inside each fixed slot 7. Therefore, when the slide holders 8 inside the fixed slot 7 are placed in or removed, a signal is transmitted to the control system.
[0032] Before the slide holder 8 containing the slides is placed inside the high-temperature dewaxing assembly 3, the three-axis linkage system 2 controls the electric linear drive module 303 to move the insulation cover 302 to the position specified by the first-level inductive optocoupler 304, thereby moving the insulation cover 302 away from the upper side of the high-temperature chamber 301. Thus, the slide holder 8 can be placed into the high-temperature chamber 301 through the three-axis linkage system 2. After the high-temperature chamber 301 is full, the electric linear drive module 303 is controlled to move the insulation cover 302, thereby moving the insulation cover 302 to the upper side of the high-temperature chamber 301. Thus, the insulation cover 302 blocks the high-temperature chamber 301, ensuring that the internal temperature of the high-temperature chamber 301 does not cool down rapidly.
[0033] After the slide holder 8 is baked inside the high-temperature chamber 301 for 30 minutes, the slide holder 8 inside the high-temperature chamber 301 is moved to the inside of the dyeing vat body 6 through the three-axis linkage system 2, and soaked according to the specified parameters such as different dyeing solutions, different dyeing vat bodies 6, and different placement times of dyeing vat bodies 6.
[0034] After the slide holder 8 has been soaked multiple times inside the dye vat body 6 containing dye solution, the purity of the dye solution inside the dye vat body 6 will become turbid as the soaking time increases. Eventually, the dye solution will no longer be usable, and the dyeing effect will be greatly reduced. At this time, the three-axis linkage system 2 can move the dye vat body 6 containing dye solution to the automatic cleaning and dye solution adding component 4. The automatic cleaning and dye solution adding component 4 can automatically pour out the dye solution in the seven dye vat bodies 6 containing different dye solutions each time, and at the same time clean the dye vat body 6 and add fresh dye solution to the seven cleaned dye vat bodies 6.
[0035] After the slide holder 8 containing the slides is stained, the slide holder 8 is sent to the inside of the fixed slot 7 through the three-axis linkage system 2. After the five slots at the top of the fixed slot 7 are filled with slide holder 8, the slide holder 8 inside the fixed slot 7 is sent to the feeding slot 503 of the automatic discharge assembly 5 through the three-axis linkage system 2. The automatic discharge assembly 5 sends the adapter plate 504 and the feeding slot 503 to the preset position through the sensing signal of the secondary inductive optocoupler 502 via the motor drive module 501, and can quickly send the slide holder 8 into the external sealing slide machine.
[0036] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, there are two fixed slots 7, and each fixed slot 7 has five slots at its upper end. The slide holder 8 is located in the slot of the fixed slot 7. Universal wheels 101 are fixed to the lower side of the base plate 1. The position of the base plate 1 can be adjusted by moving the universal wheels 101, thus enabling the entire device to be moved. The lower part of the front side of the insulation cover 302 is fixedly connected to the moving module of the electric linear drive module 303. A primary inductive optocoupler 304 is fixed to the front side of the electric linear drive module 303. The insulation cover 302 and the high-temperature chamber 301... Insulation cotton 305 is provided between the two parts, and the insulation cotton 305 is fixedly connected to the insulation cover 302. A guide rail 306 is fixed to the rear side of the high temperature chamber 301, and the guide rail 306 is slidably connected to the rear side wall of the insulation cover 302. The guide rail 306 moves and limits the rear side of the insulation cover 302, thereby limiting the front and rear parts of the insulation cover 302 so that the front and rear parts of the insulation cover 302 will not lift up. At the same time, the insulation cotton 305 is placed between the insulation cover 302 and the high temperature chamber 301, and the insulation cotton 305 reduces the cooling rate of the internal temperature of the high temperature chamber 301.
[0037] A secondary inductive optocoupler 502 is fixed to the front of the motor drive module 501. The position of the adapter plate 504 is determined by the secondary inductive optocoupler 502, so that the motor drive module 501 can control the movement or stop of the adapter plate 504 at any time. The adapter plate 504 is connected to the moving module of the motor drive module 501 by bolts. The lower side of the feeding trough frame 503 is fixedly connected to the adapter plate 504. The inside of the feeding trough frame 503 stores a glass slide rack 8, which stores and mounts glass slides.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
