It is worth noting that in actual use, the staff can set the number of the hooks 25 according to the use requirements, so as to ensure that a variety of immersion effects can be achieved on the slide, thereby meeting different use requirements; Furthermore, a transparent viewing window may be provided on the top of the mounting platform 24, or the entire mounting platform 24 may be made of a transparent material such as tempered glass or transparent acrylic, so as to facilitate the staff to observe the immersion condition; Furthermore, a plurality of limit columns can be provided at the bottom of the mounting platform 24, and the limit columns are respectively located on both sides of the lifting hook 25, so as to achieve an effective limit effect on the slide during the immersion process, and prevent it from deviating to both sides and affecting the immersion effect.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the shape of the preferred lifting hook 25 can be set as a three-section bending structure, in which two sections are perpendicular to each other, and the middle connecting section is inclined. This method can ensure that the end of the glass slide is always in contact with the inclined section during the immersion process of the glass slide, and the inclined section always ensures the stability of the support for the glass slide.

[0022] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment: the liquid storage component 3 includes a liquid storage tank 31 for filling with liquid medicine, and at least two immersion pools 32 are separated in the liquid storage tank 31.

At this time, the glass slide soaked in the liquid storage tank 31 that needs to be replaced is just located between the first slide 45 and the clamping plate 49 under the action of the first electric push rod 22 and the lifting hook 25 rising. Then the staff can control the third electric push rod 46 to drive the clamping plate 49 to produce an upward displacement effect until the glass slide is clamped between the clamping plate 49 and the first slide 45; then the staff can control the second electric push rod 42 to drive the first slide 45 to produce a lateral displacement, thereby realizing the movement of the glass slide clamped between the clamping plate 49 and the first slide 45 to the next lifting hook 25, completing the effect of progressive transportation.

Then the staff can control the fourth electric push rod 52 to drive the third slide 54 to produce a displacement effect. During the displacement of the third slide 54, the fourth slide 57 and the transfer table 59 can be driven to produce a displacement effect, thereby achieving the displacement of the transfer table 59 to the bottom of the glass slide. Then the staff can control the fifth electric push rod 56 to drive the fourth slide 57 and the transfer table 59 to produce an upward displacement, thereby achieving the effect of lifting the glass slide; then the staff can control the fourth electric push rod 52 to drive the transfer table 59 to produce a displacement effect again. During the displacement of the transfer table 59, the glass slide can be driven to the corresponding glue dripping and sealing area. Finally, the fifth electric push rod 56 is used to drive the transfer table 59 to produce a downward displacement effect, thereby completing the effect of placing the glass slide.

[0026] See also Figure 1-6 This embodiment provides a method for cyclic progressive immersion of a slide to make it transparent, comprising the following steps: S1.

When the clamping of glass slide A1 is completed, the staff controls the second The electric push rod 42 drives the first slide 45 to move until the glass slide A1 clamped by the clamping plate 49 moves to the top of the second lifting hook 25 on the left side of the mounting table 24, and controls the third electric push rod 46 to drive the clamping plate 49 to cancel the clamping of the glass slide and place the glass slide A2 on the second lifting hook 25. At this time, the staff places another glass slide A2 that needs to be immersed on the first lifting hook 25 on the left side of the mounting table 24, and controls the first electric push rod 22 again to drive the lifting hook 25 to sink into the immersion tank 32, so as to achieve two immersions of glass slide A1 and one immersion of A2; repeat the above actions until the glass slide A1 has been immersed in all the immersion tanks 32, and finally transmits it to the conveying component 5 through the progressive component 4 to achieve the transfer effect.
