Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of slide drying, and particularly relates to a microorganism slide drying device and a drying method. Background Art

[0002] A slide is a fragile transparent thin sheet used for observing cells under a microscope. Existing slides are generally divided into glass slides and cover glasses. When preparing a glass slide, first smear is carried out. After the smear is completed, staining is carried out. After the staining is completed, rinsing is carried out to wash away the excess staining agent. After the rinsing is completed, water will remain on the glass slide.

After placing the slides that need to be dried after staining and rinsing in the slide groove 603, the electric push rod 201 resets to drive the sliding block to reset, so that the slide fixing frame 600 returns from the cooling area to the drying area. The drying mechanism in the drying area operates, and the reversing valve 303 is used to control the air blown by the blower 302 to enter the heating box 304. The heat generated by the second electric heating plate 3043 in the heat storage tank 3042 is sent into the first air outlet pipe 306 through the first air guide pipe 305, and then blown to the slide fixing frame 600 through the first air outlet hole 3061, and the first electric heating plate 301 is used to generate heat to realize the drying treatment of the slides in the slide groove 603 (the drying mechanism can preheat the drying area before the drying treatment to improve the drying efficiency);

The reversing valve 303 controls the air blown by the blower 302 to enter the second air blowing pipe, and the second air outlet hole 5013 of the second air blowing pipe sends air to the slides in the slide groove 603 to realize the cooling treatment of the slides. After cooling, the slides can be taken out for use, avoiding the situation that the operator is scalded by the slides after high-temperature treatment. Compared with the traditional drying method, the present invention can realize the rapid drying of the slides, improve the experimental efficiency, and reduce the investment in labor costs.

[0068] This embodiment also provides a method for drying microbial slides:

[0069] Control the operation of the electric push rod 201 to send the glass slide fixing rack 600 from the drying area to the cooling area.

[0071] After the drying process, control the electric push rod 201 to operate again to send the glass slide fixing rack 600 from the drying area to the cooling area, and control the reversing valve 303 to cut off the connection between the blower 302 and the heating box 304. Control the first electric heating plate 301 and the second electric heating plate 3043 to stop operating. At the same time, control the reversing valve 303 to connect the blower 302 and the second air outlet pipe 5012. The wind generated by the operation of the blower 302 enters the second air outlet pipe 5012 and blows onto the glass slide fixing rack 600 through the second air outlet holes 5013 of the second air outlet pipe 5012 to cool the glass slides;

[0072] At the same time, control the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 404 to start to sterilize the glass slides.

[0073] And when the glass slide fixing rack 600 passes through the through groove 1021, the sponge strip 403 can apply the disinfectant solution on the glass slide fixing rack 600 and the glass slides to disinfect the glass slides.

[0074] Of course, before the operation, the control button 109 can be pressed to control the reversing valve 303 to connect the blower 302 and the heating box 304, and the first electric heating plate 301, the second electric heating plate 3043 and the blower 302 can be pre-started to preheat the drying box 103.
