[0075] Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The overall structure of a glass tray detection device of the present application is shown. The glass tray detection device includes a cabinet 1, a detection assembly 2, and a lifting assembly 3. The detection assembly 2 includes a first detection member 21 and a first fixing member. The first detection member 21 is mounted on the rear side panel 11 of the cabinet 1 so as to be movable forward and backward via the first fixing member. The lifting assembly 3 is mounted on the rear side panel 11 and includes a conveying device and a second fixing member 31. The second fixing member 31 is provided with a first detection device 22 that matches the first detection member 21. The first detection device 22 is used to detect the presence of the first detection member 21. The conveying device is used to drive the second fixing member 31 to move up and down.

[0076] Continue to refer Figure 2 The overall structure diagram shown in Figure 2 The dotted box 2 is the detection component 2, and the dotted box 3 is the lifting component 3. In some embodiments, the cabinet 1 includes an upper side, a left side panel, a right side panel, a rear side panel 11 and a bottom panel, and the detection component 2 and the lifting component 3 are arranged on the rear side panel 11 of the cabinet 1. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific structure of the above-mentioned cabinet 1 (for example, the upper side, the left side panel, the right side panel, the rear side panel and the bottom panel) is only an example, and other existing or future specific structures that may appear, if applicable to this application, should also be included in the scope of protection of this application and are included here by reference. For example, the cabinet 1 may also only include the rear side panel 11 and the bottom panel, and the detection component 2 and the lifting component 3 are arranged on the rear side panel 11 of the cabinet 1. For another example, the cabinet 1 is a frame structure, and there are no side panels on the left and right sides of the frame. The frame is provided with a rear side panel, and the detection component 2 and the lifting component 3 are arranged on the rear side panel 11 of the cabinet 1.

[0077] In some embodiments, one or more tray structures are horizontally arranged in the cabinet 1, and the tray structures are used to place the slide tray 4 horizontally inserted into the cabinet. Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the cabinet 1 is provided with multiple layers inside, and multiple glass slide trays can be inserted. For example, the tray structure is a flat plate, and one or more layers of flat plates are horizontally arranged inside the cabinet 1, and each layer of flat plates is used to place the glass slide tray 4 inserted into the cabinet 1. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the tray structure of the above-mentioned cabinet 1 is only an example, and other existing or future tray structures that may appear should also be included in the scope of protection of this application if they are applicable to this application, and are included here by reference. For example, the tray structure is a protruding fixed block, and the cabinet 1 includes a left side panel and a right side panel, and one or more layers of protruding fixed blocks are symmetrically arranged on the inner side walls of the left side panel and the right side panel, and the glass slide tray 4 inserted into the cabinet 1 is placed by the fixed blocks on the same horizontal plane (for example, the same layer).

[0078] Continue to refer Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the cabinet 1 is provided with two rows of tray structures arranged side by side. In other words, two rows of glass slide trays can be inserted, with two glass slide trays 4 inserted horizontally on each layer. This two-row tray structure is not limited here. For example, the cabinet 1 can be provided with a single row of tray structures, with one glass slide tray inserted horizontally on each layer. Another example is that the cabinet 1 can be provided with three, four, or other rows of tray structures, with three, four, or other rows of trays inserted horizontally on each layer. The number of rows and layers of glass slide trays that can be inserted into the cabinet 1 can be adjusted based on actual needs and is not limited here.

[0079] Furthermore, each column of tray structures corresponds to a detection assembly 2. In some embodiments, multiple columns of tray structures may correspond to one lifting assembly 3, or each column of tray structures may correspond to one lifting assembly 3. Here, there is no specific limitation on the correspondence between the tray structure and the lifting assembly 3. Each layer of the tray structure needs to correspond to a detection assembly 2, which is used to detect which layer of the tray structure in the column has a glass slide tray 4 inserted; each column of tray structures also needs to correspond to a lifting assembly 3, which is used to drive the first detection device 22 in the detection assembly 2 to move up and down. Specifically, the first detection device 22 detects which layer of the tray structure in the column has a glass slide tray 4 inserted.

[0080] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 9As shown, the rear side panel 11 of the cabinet 1 is provided with through holes 13 at corresponding positions on each layer of the tray structure, and the first detection member 21 is inserted into the through holes 13 so as to be movable forward and backward. When a glass slide tray 4 is inserted, the glass slide tray 4 moves backward against the first detection member 21 (for example, with the rear side panel 11 of the cabinet 1 as the rear, i.e., the direction of movement toward the rear side panel 11 is considered backward). As the first detection member 21 moves backward, it approaches the first detection device 22 provided on the second fixing member 31. The first detection device 22 then detects the presence of the first detection member 21, thereby determining that a glass slide tray 4 has been inserted into that layer.

[0081] Furthermore, in some embodiments, due to the limited thickness of the rear side plate 11, an extended hole is provided in the through hole 13 to enable the first detection member 21 to maintain horizontal movement within the through hole 13. The extended hole can increase the supporting force on the first detection member 21, thereby ensuring that the first detection member 21 remains horizontal during the forward and backward movement.

[0082] In some embodiments, to prevent the slide tray 4 from shifting or making a loose contact when ejecting the first detector 21, a U-shaped groove is provided on the end of the first detector 21 that contacts the slide tray 4. Specifically, the diameter of the U-shaped groove is slightly larger than the thickness of the slide tray 4. This allows the first detector 21 to be ejected more effectively and securely from the slide tray 4. The U-shaped groove, the elongated hole, and the first fixing member ensure that the first detector 21 remains horizontal both when moving forward and backward and when stationary.

[0083] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the first fixing member includes a telescopic member 23 and a connecting plate 24. One end of the telescopic member 23 is connected to one end of the first detecting member 21 via a first connecting member 25, and the other end of the telescopic member 23 is connected to one end of the connecting plate 24. Here, the telescopic member 23, the connecting plate 24, and the first connecting member 25 ensure that the first detecting member 21 remains horizontal both in a stationary state and in a forward and backward movement state.

[0084] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 24 is an L-shaped connecting plate, and a limiting hole 26 is provided on the long side plate of the L-shaped connecting plate. The first connecting member 25 passes through the limiting hole 26. One end of the first connecting member 25 is connected to the telescopic member, and the other end of the first connecting member 25 is provided at one end of the first detecting member 21. Figure 4 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 5 as well as Figure 6As shown, the connecting plate 24, the first detecting member 21 and the telescopic member 23 form a triangular structure, which ensures that the first detecting member 21 is in a horizontal state whether it is stationary or moving.

[0085] Furthermore, the length of the limiting hole 26 is 3-5 mm, thereby limiting the movable range of the first detecting member 21 to 3-5 mm. Of course, the length of the limiting hole 26 can be specifically set according to actual needs, thereby setting the movable range of the first detecting member 21.

[0086] In some embodiments, the telescopic member 23 is a tension spring. Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the telescopic member 23 may also be other retractable elastic components. Because the tension spring has a relatively large supporting force when unloaded, it can more effectively connect the first detector 21 to the connecting plate 24. The telescopic member 23 connects the connecting plate 24 and the first detector 21. When the first detector 21 is ejected, the recoil of the telescopic member 23 prevents the first detector 21 from being ejected further.

[0087] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the first detection device 22 includes a photoelectric stopper 221 and a circuit board 222 electrically connected to the photoelectric stopper 221. The photoelectric stopper 221 is disposed on one side of the second fixing member 31, and the circuit board 222 is disposed on the other side of the second fixing member 31. The circuit board 222 is electrically connected to the photoelectric stopper 221, and the presence of the first detection member 21 is detected by the photoelectric stopper 221. When the first detection member 21 is inserted into the slide tray 4 in the cabinet 1 and pushed out, the first detection member 21 extends and approaches the photoelectric stopper 221. The first detection member 21 blocks the photoelectric stopper 221, and the photoelectric stopper 221 senses the presence of the first detection member 21. Conversely, when the first detection member 21 does not block the photoelectric stopper 221, the photoelectric stopper 221 will not sense anything. In some embodiments, the first detection member 21 is made of sheet metal. When the first detection member 21 made of sheet metal blocks the photoelectric stopper 221 , the photoelectric stopper 221 can sense the presence of the first detection member 21 .

[0088] Furthermore, when the cabinet 1 can be inserted into two rows of slide trays, two photoelectric stoppers 221 are provided on the second fixing member 31. The two photoelectric stoppers 221 may correspond to one circuit board 222, or two photoelectric stoppers, each photoelectric stopper 221 corresponding to one circuit board 222.

[0089] In some embodiments, as Figure 8As shown, the conveyor device includes a conveyor member and a motor 32. The second fixing member 31 is mounted on the conveyor member, and one end of the conveyor member is connected to the motor 32. The motor 32 provides power to the conveyor device, causing the conveyor member to move the second fixing member 31 up and down. Driven by the conveyor member, the second fixing member 31 moves up and down, allowing the first detection device 22 mounted on the second fixing member 31 to detect whether a slide tray 4 has been inserted into each layer.

[0090] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 As shown, the transmission member includes two tensioning pulleys 33 arranged on the cabinet 1 and a synchronous belt 34 arranged on the tensioning pulleys 33 , and the second fixing member 31 is arranged on the synchronous belt 34 .

[0091] In some embodiments, a fixing seat 35 is provided on the left and right sides of the tensioning wheel 33 located at the upper portion of the cabinet 1 , and the fixing seat 35 is connected to the tensioning wheel 33 via a guide rod 36 .

[0092] In some embodiments, a second detection device 12 is provided on the rear side panel of the cabinet 1 , and a second detection member is provided on the side of the second fixing member 31 close to the conveying device. The second detection device 12 is used to detect the presence of the second detection member.

[0093] Furthermore, the second detection member moves up and down under the drive of the second fixing member 31, and the second detection device 12 detects the presence of the second detection member. The second detection member can be an integral structure with the second fixing member. For example, the second fixing member 31 and the second detection member are both sheet metal, and the second detection member is a detection structure protruding from the second fixing member 31. For example, the detection structure can be a columnar structure or a plate-like structure. The second detection member can also be a component separately provided on the second fixing member 31. For example, the second detection member is provided on the second fixing member 31 by welding or by a connector. Figure 11 As shown, the second detection device 12 is set on the rear side panel of the cabinet. In some embodiments, the second detection device 12 is respectively set on the upper, middle and lower sides of the rear side panel 11. In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8 , on the side of the second fixing member 31 close to the conveying device (for example, Figure 8A second detector (not shown) is provided on the left side of the second fixing member 31. In some embodiments, the second detector is an L-shaped sheet metal member, with one end of the L-shaped sheet metal member connected to the left side of the second fixing member 31 and the other end aligned with the second detection device 12 mounted on the rear side panel 11. For example, when the second detector is moved to the position where the second detection device 12 is located, the second detector can be inserted into the second detection device 12, allowing the second detection device to sense the presence of the second detector.

[0094] In some embodiments, the second detection device includes three photoelectric stoppers 221 arranged on the upper and lower rear side panels of the cabinet, and a circuit board 222 electrically connected to the three photoelectric stoppers 221, and the circuit board is installed on the cabinet.

[0095] Furthermore, the three photoelectric stoppers 221 may share a circuit board 222, that is, the three photoelectric stoppers 221 are electrically connected to the circuit board 222. The three photoelectric stoppers 221 may also correspond to a circuit board 222 respectively, that is, each of the three photoelectric stoppers 221 is electrically connected to a circuit board 222, and accordingly, there are three circuit boards 222 in total. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 7 As shown, in order to avoid interference and facilitate electrical connection, the circuit board 222 can be set on the bottom plate of the cabinet 1.

[0096] Furthermore, the second detection device may also include two, four, or any other number of photoelectric limiters. The number of photoelectric limiters of the second detection device is not specifically limited. The second detection device is used to detect the current lifting position of the first detection device and to limit the interpretation of the upper limit, lower limit, and intermediate position of the lifting position of the first detection device.

[0097] In some embodiments, the three photoelectric limiters 221 are respectively arranged at the upper, middle and lower positions of the cabinet 1 .

[0098] Furthermore, since the second detection device is mainly used to judge the lifting and lowering position of the first detection device, when the second detection device includes three photoelectric limiters 221, the photoelectric limiter 221 located at the upper part of the cabinet 1 is set at the upper limit position of the lifting of the first detection device, that is, the highest rise of the first detection device shall not exceed the upper limit position; the photoelectric limiter 221 located at the lower part of the cabinet 1 is set at the lower limit position of the lifting of the first detection device, that is, the lowest descent of the first detection device shall not exceed the lower limit position; the photoelectric limiter 221 located in the middle of the cabinet 1 is usually set at the middle position of the upper and lower directions of the cabinet 1, and the lifting and lowering position of the first detection component is judged by the photoelectric limiter 221 set in the middle position of the cabinet 1.

[0099] Furthermore, to automatically obtain the detection status of the slide tray detection device, the photoelectric stopper 221 of the first detection device and the photoelectric stopper 221 of the second detection device can be connected to a computing device, including but not limited to a computer, laptop computer, etc. In some embodiments, the computing device can determine which photoelectric stopper 221 detected the presence of the first detection member 21 or the second detection member, and thus can indicate to the user which layer the slide tray 4 has been inserted.

[0100] In some embodiments, the photoelectric stopper 221 is a U-shaped structure. The U-shaped photoelectric stopper 221 can increase the shielding area of ​​the first detection member 21 or the second detection member to the photoelectric stopper 221, thereby better performing the sensing work.

In some embodiments, the control module includes but is not limited to a single-chip microcomputer, a computer, etc. The detection assembly 2 and the lifting assembly 3 described in this embodiment are the same as the detection assembly 2 and the lifting assembly 3 described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here. For example, refer to Figure 1 , a glass slide tray 4 is inserted into the cabinet 1. Figure 4 The rear side plate 11 is provided with a first detection member 21. When the glass tray 4 is inserted into the cabinet 1, the first detection member 21 of the corresponding level is pushed out by the glass tray 4. Figure 3 , the lifting assembly 3 is mounted on the rear side panel 11, and a first detection device 22 is provided on the lifting assembly 3, so that the first detection device 22 can be driven to move up and down by the lifting assembly. When the inserted glass slide tray 4 pushes out the first detection member 21, the first detection device 22 on the lifting assembly 3 can detect the presence of the first detection member 21, thereby sensing that the layer corresponding to the pushed-out first detection member 21 has a glass slide tray 4 inserted. In some embodiments, the control module includes but is not limited to a single-chip microcomputer, a computer, etc. Here, the cabinet 1, detection assembly 2 and lifting assembly 3 described in this embodiment are consistent with the cabinet 1, detection assembly 2 and lifting assembly 3 in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0102] In some embodiments, the slide tray automatic detection device further comprises a driving assembly; the driving assembly is connected to the cabinet 1, and the driving assembly is used to drive the cabinet 1 to perform linear motion; the control module is also electrically connected to the driving assembly, and the control module is used to control the driving assembly to drive the cabinet 1 to perform linear motion. In some embodiments, as Figure 10 As shown, the driving assembly includes a driving motor 51, a driving track 52 and a cabinet support plate 53, and the control module is electrically connected to the driving motor 51. Figure 10 , the cabinet 1 is mounted on the upper surface of the cabinet support plate 53, and the drive motor 51 drives the cabinet support plate 53 to move linearly, thereby driving the cabinet 11 to move linearly along the drive rail 52. For example, the drive motor 51 is a straight rod motor, which is connected to the cabinet support plate 53 through one end of the telescopic rod of the straight rod motor, and the cabinet 1 is driven to move linearly by the extension and contraction of the telescopic rod. The drive assembly includes two drive rails 52 arranged on the left and right sides of the cabinet 1, and the cabinet support plate 53 is movably arranged on the drive rails 52. For example, the cabinet support plate 53 is supported by the drive rails 52, and the cabinet support plate 53 is driven by the straight rod motor to move linearly back and forth. In some embodiments, in order to better enable the cabinet support plate 53 to move linearly on the drive rails 52, a pulley is provided on the side of the cabinet support plate 53 that contacts the drive rails 52. By providing the pulley, the cabinet support plate 53 can move linearly on the drive rails more smoothly.

[0103] In some embodiments, the detection assembly further comprises a first fixing member, and the first detection member is movably arranged on the rear side plate 11 of the cabinet through the first fixing member. Here, the detection assembly 2 described in this embodiment is consistent with the detection assembly 2 in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0104] The overall working process of the slide tray automatic detection device of the present application includes:

[0105] The control module turns the motor of the lifting assembly on and off, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the lifting assembly, thereby driving the first detection device on the lifting assembly to move up and down. Typically, before testing slides, the lifting assembly drives the first detection device up and down to confirm whether a slide tray is placed on each shelf within the cabinet. During the up and down movement of the first detection device, if a slide tray is inserted on that shelf, the first detection member on that shelf will be pushed out by the shelf. When the first detection device ascends or descends to that shelf, the pushed-out first detection member will block the first detection device's photoelectric stopper. The photoelectric stopper senses the presence of the first detection member on that shelf, thereby confirming that a slide tray is inserted on that shelf. In some embodiments, the photoelectric stopper transmits data information (e.g., whether the first detection member is sensed or not) to the control module, which records it. In some embodiments, the control module displays the slide tray insertion status to the user based on the received data information. The user can visually see through the control module whether a slide tray is inserted on each shelf, or which shelf has no slide tray inserted. For example, referring to Table 1, the detection results are recorded in the control module. When the photoelectric stopper of the first detection device detects the first detection element on the first layer, the photoelectric stopper transmits data information (such as 1) to the control module, and the control module records it.

[0108] Specifically, the working process of the slide tray automatic detection device of the present application through the first detection device includes:

[0109] For example, taking the first layer as an example, when a slide tray is inserted into the first layer, the inserted slide tray pushes out the first detector, which is movably mounted on the cabinet body. When the lifting assembly brings the first detector device on the second fixed member to the first layer, the photoelectric stopper of the first detector device senses the ejected first detector device and transmits the sensing data to the control module. In other words, when the first detector device, which is movably mounted on the cabinet body, is idle (e.g., no slide tray is inserted), it does not block the photoelectric stopper of the first detector device that has been raised to the first layer. As a result, when no slide tray is inserted into that layer, the first detector device on that layer cannot be sensed, indicating that no slide tray is inserted into that layer.

[0110] The working process of the slide tray automatic detection device of the present application through detection by the second detection device includes:

[0111] For example, the second detection device provided on the cabinet includes three photoelectric limiters provided in the upper and lower parts. The top photoelectric limiter is used to limit the upper limit of the rise of the first detection device; the bottom photoelectric limiter is used to limit the lower limit of the descent of the first detection device; and the middle photoelectric limiter is used to judge the current lifting position of the first detection device. Start the motor, and the lifting assembly drives the second fixing member to move up and down, thereby causing the second fixing member to drive the second detection member to move up and down. When the lifting assembly brings the second fixing member to the upper limit position, the second detection member on the second fixing member will block the photoelectric limiter located at the top, thereby causing the photoelectric limiter located at the top to sense the presence of the second detection member, and the photoelectric limiter located at the top will transmit data information to the control module, and the control module will control the descent of the lifting assembly. Conversely, when the lifting assembly brings the second fixing member to the lower limit position, the second detector on the second fixing member will block the photoelectric stopper located at the bottom, thereby causing the photoelectric stopper located at the bottom to sense the presence of the second detector. The photoelectric stopper located at the bottom will transmit data information to the control module, which will then control the lifting assembly to rise. When the lifting assembly brings the second fixing member to the middle position of the cabinet, the second detector on the second fixing member will block the photoelectric stopper located at the middle position of the cabinet, thereby causing the photoelectric stopper located at the middle position to sense the presence of the second detector. The photoelectric stopper located at the middle position will transmit data information to the control module, which can then determine the detection position of the first detection device. For example, if the middle position is the 5th floor, when the photoelectric stopper located at the middle position transmits data information to the computing device, the computing device can determine that the first detection device is currently detecting the glass slide tray at the 5th floor.

[0112] Furthermore, the specific positions of the upper limit, the lower limit, and the "middle position" are not specifically limited here, and the upper limit position of rising and the lower limit position of falling can be designed according to actual needs.
