[0002] In the field of artificial reproduction, after an egg is fertilized in vitro, the fertilized egg is implanted into the uterine body for development. When performing artificial fertilization, medical staff need to screen viable sperm or eggs from a culture container, or take out the fertilized eggs from the culture container. Since sperm, eggs, and fertilized eggs are all very tiny, it is necessary to rely on microscopic imaging technology to find the required sperm, eggs, or fertilized eggs in the culture container. Then, with the assistance of the microscopic image, the tip of a micropipette is manually moved into the corresponding position in the culture container, and the required sperm, eggs, or fertilized eggs are aspirated.

[0029] Refer to Figure 1 、 2 and, an embodiment of the microscopic operation device 200 of the present invention is applicable to perform operation processes such as but not limited to sampling, injection, etching, and laser drilling on a biological sample 901 contained in a sample container 900. The biological sample 901 is, for example but not limited to, sperm, egg, or fertilized egg. The microscopic operation device 200 includes a transfer mechanism 3, a connection seat mechanism 4 mounted on the transfer mechanism 3, a microscopic imaging mechanism 5 and an operation mechanism 6 mounted on the connection seat mechanism 4, and an imaging lens 7 mounted on the operation mechanism 6.

[0030] The transfer mechanism 3 includes two first transfer modules 31 that are spaced parallel in a first direction 801 and extend along a second direction 802 that is horizontally orthogonal to the first direction 801, and a second transfer module 32 that extends along the first direction 801 and straddles the first transfer modules 31.

[0031] Each first transfer module 31 includes two first fixed seats 311 that are spaced left and right in the second direction 802, two first slide rails 312 that extend along the second direction 802 and straddle between the first fixed seats 311 and are spaced parallel front and back in the first direction 801, a first transmission screw 313 that extends along the second direction 802 and rotatably straddles between the first fixed seats 311, a first moving seat 314 that is displaceably mounted on the first slide rails 312 and the first transmission screw 313 along the second direction 802, and a first driver 315 that is mounted on one of the first fixed seats 311 and is connected to the first transmission screw 313. The first moving seat 314 is screwed to the first transmission screw 313. The first driver 315 can be controlled to start and drive the first transmission screw 313 to rotate around its own axis, and the driven first transmission screw 313 will drive the first moving seat 314 to displace along the longitudinal direction of the first slide rails 312.

[0032] The second displacement adjustment module 32 is spanned between the first moving seats 314 and can be driven by the first moving seats 314 to displace along the second direction 802. The second displacement adjustment module 32 includes two second slide rails 321 that are spaced parallel in the second direction 802 and extend along the first direction 801 and span across the first moving seats 314, a second driving screw 322 that extends along the first direction 801 and is rotatably spanned across the first moving seats 314, a second moving seat 323 that is displaceable along the first direction 801 and is mounted on the second slide rails 321 and the second driving screw 322, and a second rotator 324 that is mounted on one of the second moving seats 323 and is connected to the second driving screw 322. The second moving seat 323 is screwed to the second driving screw 322. The second rotator 324 can be controlled to start and drive the second driving screw 322 to rotate around its own axis. The driven second driving screw 322 will drive the second moving seat 323 to displace along the second slide rails 321.

[0033] In this embodiment, both the first rotator 315 and the second rotator 324 are transmission members formed by connecting a motor and a reduction gear set. The motor is, for example but not limited to, a stepper motor. Since both the first rotator 315 and the second rotator 324 used to respectively drive the first driving screw 313 and the second driving screw 322 are prior arts and there are many types, they will not be described in detail herein, and are not limited to the icon styles.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1 、 3 Figures 4 and 5, the connecting seat mechanism 4 is mounted on the second moving seat 323 and can be driven by the second moving seat 323 to perform horizontal displacement. The connecting seat mechanism 4 includes a connecting seat 41 mounted below the second moving seat 323, a rotating seat 42 rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 41 along a horizontal axis, and a rotation driver 43 mounted on the connecting seat 41 and connected to the rotating seat 42. The rotation driver 43 can be controlled to start and drive the rotating seat 42 to rotate relative to the connecting seat 41. In this embodiment, the horizontal axis is coaxial with the first direction 801.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotation driver 43 includes a rotation driving motor 431 fixedly mounted on the connecting seat 41 and a reduction gear structure 432 disposed between the rotation driving motor 431 and the rotating seat 42. The rotation driving motor 431 is, for example but not limited to, a stepper motor and can drive the rotating seat 42 to rotate relative to the connecting seat 41 via the reduction gear structure 432. Since the rotation driver 43 that can be used to drive the rotating seat 42 to rotate relative to the connecting seat 41 is a prior art and there are many types, it will not be described in detail herein, and is not limited to the icon styles.

[0036] Refer to Figure 2 、 3 、6, the microscopic imaging mechanism 5 is installed on the rotating base 42 and can be driven by the rotating base 42 to rotate. The microscopic imaging mechanism 5 includes a first lifting and shifting unit 51 installed on the rotating base 42, and a microscopic imaging unit 52 installed on the first lifting and shifting unit 51.

[0037] The first lifting and shifting unit 51 includes a first base 511, a first lifting seat 512 extending vertically and displaceable vertically on the first base 511, and a first lifting driver 513 installed on the first base 511 and connected to the first lifting seat 512. The first lifting driver 513 includes a first transmission rack 514 installed on the first lifting seat 512, a first lifting drive motor 515 installed on the first base 511, and a reduction gear set 516 meshed and connected between the first lifting drive motor 515 and the first transmission rack 514. The first lifting drive motor 515 can be controlled to start and drive the reduction gear set 516, thereby driving the first transmission rack 514 to drive the first lifting seat 512 to displace vertically relative to the first base 511, and adjusting the length of the first lifting seat 512 protruding downward relative to the first base 511. In this embodiment, the first lifting drive motor 515 is a stepping motor, which can cooperate with the design of the reduction gear set 516 to finely adjust the lifting distance of the first lifting seat 512. Since there are many types of the first lifting driver 513, it will not be described in detail, and the implementation is not limited to the illustrated form.

[0038] The microscopic imaging unit 52 includes a telescopic base 521 installed at the bottom end of the first lifting seat 512 and extending along the first direction 801, two telescopic rods 522 inserted into the telescopic base 521 and extending outwards from both ends of the telescopic base 521 in opposite directions along the first direction 801, a telescopic drive module 523 installed on the telescopic base 521 and connected to the telescopic rods 522, and two microscopic lenses 524 respectively installed on the telescopic rods 522.

[0039] The telescopic drive module 523 can be controlled to start and drive each telescopic rod 522 to displace telescopically relative to the telescopic base 521, and adjust the length of the telescopic rod 522 protruding out of the telescopic base 521, thereby shifting the corresponding microscopic lens 524 along the first direction 801. The telescopic drive module 523 is also a transmission member composed of a motor and a reduction gear set connected between the motor and the telescopic rods 522, and can be used to drive the telescopic rods 522 to displace telescopically relative to the telescopic base 521. Since the telescopic drive module 523 can drive the telescopic rods 522 to expand and contract, which is a prior art and there are many ways, it will not be described in detail.

[0040] The microscope lens 524 is an electronic microscope lens. Each microscope lens 524 can be used for microscopic imaging and transmitting the captured microscopic image to a backend display device (not shown in the figure) for processing and display output.

[0041] In this embodiment, the field of view direction of the microscope lens 524 is obliquely downward and opposite along the second direction 802 towards the bottom end of the operating mechanism 6. However, in practice, in other embodiments of the present invention, the intersection angle of the field of view direction of the microscope lens 524 can be adjusted according to requirements. For example, it can be designed to intersect at 45°, 90° or other angles. In addition, the direction of the microscope lens 524 being displaced can also be changed by changing the telescopic displacement direction of the telescopic rod 522 relative to the telescopic base 521. Since there are various embodiments for the relative position of the field of view direction of the microscope lens 524, the implementation is not limited to the above embodiment.

[0042] Refer to Figure 3 、 7 FIG. 8, the operating mechanism 6 is installed on the rotating base 42 and can be driven to rotate by the rotating base 42. The operating mechanism 6 includes a second lifting and displacing unit 61 installed on the rotating base 42, a third lifting and displacing unit 62 installed on the second lifting and displacing unit 61, and an operating unit 63 installed on the third lifting and displacing unit 62.

[0043] The second lifting and displacing unit 61 includes a second base 611 installed and fixed on the rotating base 42 and extending vertically, a second lifting seat 612 displaceable vertically and connected to the third lifting and displacing unit 62, and a second lifting driver 613 installed on the second base 611 and connected to the second lifting seat 612. The second lifting driver 613 includes a second lifting drive motor 614 installed and fixed at the top of the second base 611, and a second transmission rack 615 installed on the second lifting seat 612 and connected to the second lifting drive motor 614. The second lifting drive motor 614 can be controlled to start, and drive the second lifting seat 612 to displace vertically relative to the second base 611 through the second transmission rack 615, thereby being used to adjust the length of the second lifting seat 612 protruding downward relative to the second base 611. In this embodiment, the second lifting drive motor 614 is a stepper motor, but the implementation is not limited to this.

[0044] The third lifting and shifting unit 62 includes a third base 621 fixedly mounted on the second lifting seat 612, a third lifting seat 622 displaceably mounted vertically beside the third base 621, and a third lifting drive 623 mounted on the third lifting seat 622 and connected to the third base 621. The third lifting drive 623 includes a third transmission rack 624 extending vertically and fixedly mounted on the third base 621, a third lifting drive motor 625 mounted in the third lifting seat 622, and a reduction gear set 626 mounted in the third lifting seat 622 and connected between the third lifting drive motor 625 and the third transmission rack 624.

[0045] The third lifting drive motor 625 can be controlled to operate, and drive the third lifting seat 622 to displace vertically relative to the third base 621 through the meshing action of the reduction gear set 626 and the third transmission rack 624.

[0046] In this embodiment, the pitch of the third transmission rack 624 is smaller than the pitch of the second transmission rack 615. That is to say, the lead of the third transmission rack 624 is different from that of the second transmission rack 615. The second lifting drive 613 can be used for large-scale lifting adjustment of the second lifting seat 612, and the third lifting drive 623 can be used for fine lifting and shifting of the third lifting seat 622.

[0047] The operating unit 63 can be a pipe fitting for connecting and assembling to a driving device (not shown in the figure), or an electronic device for signal connection to a driving device (not shown in the figure). The operating unit 63 is, for example but not limited to, a sampling needle, an injection needle, a laser instrument, an etching instrument, etc. The operating unit 63 can be linked and moved downward by the second lifting seat 612 to between the opposite sides of the microscope lens 524 and be located within the field of view of the microscope lens 524. And the operating unit 63 can be driven to perform operations such as suction, injection, etching, or punching on the biological sample 901 in the sample container 900. The injection is, for example but not limited to, injecting sperm, DNA, cell tissue, etc.

[0048] The imaging lens 7 is mounted on the bottom end surface of the third lifting seat 622 and can be used to image downward at the bottom end part of the operating unit 63.

[0049] Refer to Figure 1 、 2, when it is necessary to perform a predetermined operation on the biological sample 901 in the sample container 900 below with the micromanipulation device 200 of the present invention, the first rotator 315 and the second rotator 324 of the transfer mechanism 3 can be controlled to operate, so as to horizontally transfer the second transfer module 32 along the second direction 802, and horizontally transfer the second moving seat 323 along the first direction 801, and then drive the connecting seat mechanism 4 to drive the microscopic imaging mechanism 5 and the operating mechanism 6 to displace above the sample container 900.

[0050] Refer to Figure 2 , 6 , 9. Then, control and start the first lifting driver 513 to drive the first lifting transfer unit 51 to drive the microscopic imaging unit 52 to move downward, so that the sample container 900 is within the field of view of the microscopic lens 524. According to the imaging requirements, the telescopic drive module 523 can be controlled to transfer the microscopic lens 524 to adjust the field of view of the microscopic lens 524. When necessary, the rotation driver 43 can also be controlled to start to rotate and adjust the field of view of the microscopic lens 524.

[0051] When it is necessary to perform a predetermined operation on the biological sample 901 in the sample container 900, the second lifting transfer unit 61 can be controlled to start, so as to drive the second lifting seat 612 to drive the third lifting transfer unit 62 and the operating unit 63 to quickly move downward, so that the operating unit 63 is within the field of view of the microscopic lens 524, and then the position of the operating unit 63 relative to the biological sample 901 in the sample container 900 can be viewed from different angles.

[0052] Then, by controlling the operation of the third lifting driver 623 (shown in Figure 8 ) of the third lifting transfer unit 62, the vertical displacement of the operating unit 63 relative to the biological sample 901 in the sample container 900 can be finely adjusted. With the assistance of the microscopic image obtained by the microscopic lens 524, the user can more accurately control the operation of the third lifting driver 623, so that the operating unit 63 performs a predetermined treatment on a specific biological sample 901, such as sampling, injection, etching or drilling.

[0053] At the same time, in cooperation with the design that the imaging lens 7 can obtain the image of the bottom end of the operating unit 63, it can assist in confirming the relative position relationship between the operating unit 63 and the biological sample 901 to be processed, and assist in monitoring the operation process of the operating unit 63.

[0054] Cooperate with reference to Figure 1, In addition, the transfer mechanism 3 can be used to transfer the connection base mechanism 4 in the first direction 801 and the second direction 802. The design of synchronously horizontally transferring the microscopic imaging mechanism 5 and the operating mechanism 6 can facilitate arranging a plurality of the sample containers 900 each containing the biological sample 901 to be processed at intervals below the operating mechanism 6. Then, by horizontally transferring the connection base mechanism 4 through the transfer mechanism 3, the microscopic imaging mechanism 5 and the operating mechanism 6 are synchronously transferred, and can be used to perform predetermined operation processes on each of the sample containers 900 one by one.

[0055] In summary, through the structural design of the microscopic lens 524 of the microscopic imaging mechanism 5 and the structural design that the operating unit 63 of the operating mechanism 6 can be transferred into the field of view of the microscopic lens 524, when the micromanipulation device 200 of the present invention performs the operation process of the biological sample 901 through the operating unit 63, the relative positional relationship between the operating unit 63 and the biological sample 901 can be observed by using the microscopic lens 524 at different viewing angles, and sampling can be performed more precisely. Furthermore, through the structural design that the second lifting and transferring unit 61 and the third lifting and transferring unit 62 of the operating mechanism 6 have different lifting and transferring lead screws, they can be respectively used to lift and transfer the operating unit 63 significantly and quickly, and to lift and transfer the operating unit 63 slightly.

[0056] Furthermore, through the structural design that the connection base mechanism 4 can rotate the microscopic imaging mechanism 5 and the operating mechanism 6 relative to the sample container 900, it is convenient to select to perform various processes on the biological sample 901 in the sample container 900 from different tilting angles. In addition, through the structural design that the transfer mechanism 3 can transfer the microscopic imaging mechanism 5 and the operating mechanism 6 in the first direction 801 and the second direction 802, it is convenient to perform the processing operation of a large number of sample containers 900.

[0057] Moreover, through the structural design of the transfer mechanism 3, the connection base mechanism 4, the microscopic imaging mechanism 5 and the operating mechanism 6, it is also suitable for cooperating with automated equipment for intelligent control.

[0058] Therefore, the micromanipulation device 200 of the present invention is indeed a quite innovative, convenient and practical creation, and can indeed achieve the purpose of the present invention.

[0059] The above are only examples of the present invention, and the scope of implementation of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. All simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and the content of the specification of the present invention still belong to the scope of the present invention.
