[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] As Figures 1-5 shown, the present invention has the following specific embodiments.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] An auxiliary device for making pathological research sections includes a base 1, a transparent chamber 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a dehydration cylinder 103 placed on the upper surface of the base 1, the dehydration cylinder 103 being located inside the transparent chamber 2, a slide rail 3 fixedly connected to the inner top of the transparent chamber 2, an inlet and outlet opened on the front surface of the transparent chamber 2, an exhaust fan 4 fixedly connected to one side of the transparent chamber 2, a limit chute 301 opened below the slide rail 3, a limit slider 503 slidably installed in the limit chute 301, a cylinder 502 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the limit slider 503, a cover 5 fixedly connected to the lower end of the cylinder 502, a plurality of liquid inlet and outlet through holes 501 opened on the surface of the cover 5, clamping plates 506 arranged on both sides of the cover 5, and a placement base 6 arranged below the cover 5.

[0029] In this implementation, a dehydration agent is added into the interior of the dehydration cylinder 103. The tissue specimen to be dehydrated is placed on the placement base 6. The cylinder 502 can be used to drive the cover 5 to move down and cover the placement base 6. The clamping plate 506 clamps both sides of the placement base 6 to fix the placement base 6 under the cover 5. Subsequently, the cylinder 502 drives the cover 5 and the placement base 6 to move upward and reset. The limit slider 503 is slidably installed inside the limit chute 301, and then the cover 5 is slidably installed under the slide rail 3. The limit slider 503 is controlled to move into the interior of the transparent chamber 2. The limit slider 503 can drive the cover 5 and the placement base 6 to move into the interior of the transparent chamber 2 through the cylinder 502 and be located above the dehydration cylinder 103. The cylinder 502 is started again to drive the cover 5 and the placement base 6 to move down into the interior of the dehydration cylinder 103, so that the tissue specimen can be immersed in the dehydration agent to perform dehydration treatment on the tissue specimen. The transparent chamber 2 covers the periphery of the dehydration cylinder 103. The agent inside the dehydration cylinder 103 volatilizes and spreads inside the transparent chamber 2. An air extraction mechanism is arranged inside the air extractor 4. The air extraction structure can be used to exhaust the air inside the transparent chamber 2 to the filtration system to prevent the operator from inhaling the volatilized agent components and affecting the health of the experimental personnel.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] A support platform 101 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the base 1. A fixed card slot 102 is provided on the support platform 101. A clamping block 602 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the placement base 6. The clamping block 602 cooperates with the fixed card slot 102. A plurality of liquid drainage through holes 601 are provided near the edge inside the placement base 6. Clamping card slots 603 are provided on both sides of the placement base 6. An inspection opening 201 is provided on the other side of the transparent chamber 2. A sealing door 202 is rotatably installed in the inspection opening 201. A connection flange 401 is fixedly connected to the other side of the air extractor 4. An air extraction motor 402 is fixedly connected to the air extractor 4 through a bracket. The output end of the air extraction motor 402 is fixedly connected to an air extraction blade 403. An adjusting screw 302 is rotatably installed in the limit chute 301. A driving motor 303 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the transparent chamber 2. The output end of the driving motor 303 is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw 302. A threaded through hole 504 is provided inside the limit slider 503. The threaded through hole 504 is in threaded cooperation with the adjusting screw 302.

[0032] In this implementation solution, through the mutual cooperation of the fixed card slot 102 and the card block 602, the placement base 6 placed on the platform 101 can be positioned, so that the cover 5 is aligned with the placement base 6. After the device enters the inside of the dehydration cylinder 103, the liquid discharge through hole 601 and the liquid inlet and outlet through hole 501 can enable the liquid medicine to enter the inside. At the same time, after the device is removed, the liquid medicine can be discharged. Starting the driving motor 303 can drive the adjusting screw 302 to rotate. The adjusting screw 302 is in threaded cooperation with the threaded through hole 504. Furthermore, when the adjusting screw 302 rotates, it can drive the limit slider 503 to move. The cover 5 and the placement base 6 are controlled by the cylinder 502 to enter and exit the inside of the transparent chamber 2. The maintenance port 201 facilitates the operator to add the dehydration liquid medicine, and the sealing door 202 can seal the maintenance port 201. Starting the exhaust fan motor 402 can drive the exhaust fan blade 403 to rotate. The rotation of the exhaust fan blade 403 can suck the air inside the transparent chamber 2 to the connecting flange 401. The connecting flange 401 is used to connect the waste gas treatment equipment to harmlessly treat the sucked harmful gas.

[0033] Embodiment 3

[0034] Two groups of hinge ears 505 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover 5. One side of the clamping plate 506 is fixedly connected with a hinge seat 507. A connecting shaft 508 is fixedly connected inside the hinge seat 507. The connecting shaft 508 is rotationally matched with the hinge ear 505. A torsion spring 509 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 508. One end of the torsion spring 509 is fixedly connected with the hinge seat 507, and the other end of the torsion spring 509 is fixedly connected with the hinge ear 505. One side of the clamping plate 506 is fixedly connected with a triangular clamping block 510 near the lower edge position. The triangular clamping block 510 is mutually matched with the clamping card slot 603.

[0035] In this implementation solution, through the rotational cooperation of the connecting shaft 508 and the hinge ear 505, the hinge seat 507 is rotationally installed between the hinge ears 505. The torsion spring 509 can apply a certain torque to the hinge seat 507. The hinge seat 507 driven by the torque will drive the clamping plate 506 to be in a vertical state, and the triangular clamping block 510 will be stuck into the inside of the clamping card slot 603 to fix the placement base 6 under the cover 5. The whole triangular clamping block 510 is triangular. During the downward movement of the cover 5, its inclined surface contacts the upper edge of the placement base 6, and further decomposition will cause the clamping plate 506 to open to both sides. When the triangular clamping block 510 moves to the clamping card slot 603, due to the torque of the torsion spring 509, the clamping plate 506 will reset and drive the triangular clamping block 510 to be stuck into the inside of the clamping card slot 603. When it is necessary to release the restriction on the placement base 6, it is necessary to manually pinch the upper ends of the two clamping plates 506, and the lower part of the clamping plate 506 rotates outward, so that the triangular clamping block 510 is removed from the inside of the clamping card slot 603, thereby releasing the restriction on the placement base 6. At this time, the placement base 6 can be removed from under the cover 5 to expose the dehydrated tissue sample.

[0036] Working principle and usage process of the present invention: Open the sealing door 202, pour a certain amount of dehydration agent into the interior of the dehydration cylinder 103 through the maintenance port 201, then close the sealing door 202 to keep the maintenance port 201 sealed. Start the exhaust fan motor 402 to drive the exhaust fan blade 403 to rotate, suck the air inside the transparent chamber 2 to the waste gas treatment equipment. Place the placement base 6 on the support table 101, and make the clamping block 602 snap into the fixed clamping groove 102. Start the cylinder 502 to drive the cover 5 to move down and cover the placement base 6, and use the clamping plate 506 to clamp both sides of the placement base 6 to fix the placement base 6 under the cover 5. Then, use the cylinder 502 to drive the cover 5 and the placement base 6 to move up and reset. Start the driving motor 303 to drive the adjusting screw 302 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting screw 302 drives the limit slider 503 to move backward. The limit slider 503 drives the cover 5 and the placement base 6 to move into the transparent chamber 2 through the cylinder 502 and be located above the dehydration cylinder 103. Start the cylinder 502 again to drive the cover 5 and the placement base 6 to move down into the dehydration cylinder 103. The liquid medicine will enter the interior through the liquid inlet and outlet through hole 501 and the liquid discharge through hole 601, so that the tissue sample is immersed in the dehydration agent to dehydrate the tissue sample.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
