Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glass slide numbering, and in particular to a glass slide numbering device. Background Art

[0002] A slide is a container for storing pathology specimens. To identify them, they need to be marked with characters such as a QR code, pathology number, and patient identification information. A slide numbering machine is a machine that batch-numbers slides, marking each slide to facilitate identification and prevent confusion.

[0003] The glass slide numbering machine uses a numbering device to number the glass slides. The working principle of the existing glass slide numbering machine is as follows: first, the initial glass slide is moved to the numbering position by a robot before numbering; second, the glass slide is numbered by the numbering device; finally, after the numbering is completed, the numbered glass slide is moved to the collection position for storage by a robot. However, in this process, on the one hand, the structure of the numbering machine is complex, and the electronic control process is cumbersome. The placement and removal of the glass slides by the robot need to be performed separately in two processes, resulting in a long numbering time, affecting the numbering efficiency; on the other hand, the robot usually pushes the numbered glass slides into the receiving port and allows them to fall freely into the collection box. The collection is done by relying on the self-weight of the glass slides, which makes a loud noise and is easy to damage the edges and corners of the glass slides, and there is a risk of glass slide breakage. If the collection is done piece by piece by adding a motor to control the collection, the structure will be further complicated.

[0004] In summary, the existing numbering machines have technical problems such as complex structure, low efficiency and easy damage to glass slides. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The purpose of this application is to overcome the above technical deficiencies and propose a slide numbering device to solve the technical problems of the existing technology such as complex structure, low efficiency and easy damage to the slides.

[0023] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions: like Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a slide numbering device, comprising a slide track 1 and a pushing component 2.

[0024] The slide track 1 is used for carrying slides, and the surface of the slide track 1 is provided with a slide storage area 11, a slide numbering area 12 and a slide collecting area 13 in sequence.

[0025] The pushing assembly 2 includes a driving mechanism 21 , a first pushing unit 22 , a second pushing unit 23 , a cam mechanism 24 and a limiting block 25 .

[0026] The driving mechanism 21 is fixedly connected to the connecting end of the first pushing unit 22 for driving the first pushing unit 22 to reciprocate between the slide storage area 11 and the slide numbering area 12. The working end of the first pushing unit 22 has a first transition surface on the side facing the slide storage area 11. The longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the working end of the first pushing unit 22 can be a right triangle or a triangular structure with an arc as the hypotenuse. In the initial position, the first pushing unit 22 is on the side of the slide storage area 11 away from the slide numbering area 12, that is, the leftmost side in the figure. The driving mechanism 21 drives the first pushing unit 22 to move toward the slide numbering area 12. The right-angled side of the working end of the first pushing unit 22 protrudes from the upper surface of the slide track 1 and is rigidly abutted against the bottom slide. The contact surface between the two is perpendicular to the slide track 1, pushing the slide from the slide storage area 11 to the slide numbering area 12. When the first pushing unit 22 returns, the first transition surface of its working end gradually contacts the glass slide, and the contact surfaces of the two are inclined to the glass slide track 1, so that the first pushing unit 22 lifts the glass slide in the vertical direction without affecting the horizontal position of the glass slide.

[0027] The driving mechanism 21 is elastically connected to the connecting end of the second pushing unit 23 to drive the second pushing unit 23 to reciprocate between the slide marking area 12 and the slide collection area 13. The cam mechanism 24 is rotationally connected to the slide track 1 and interferes with the movement path of the working end of the second pushing unit 23. The limit block 25 is located on the side of the cam mechanism 24 facing the slide marking area 12. The driving mechanism 21 drives the second pushing unit 23 to move toward the slide collection area 13. The initial position of the second pushing unit 23 is located on the left side of the slide marking area 12. The working end of the second pushing unit 23 protrudes from the upper surface of the slide track 1 and contacts the numbered slide, pushing the slide from the slide marking area 12 to the slide collection area 13. The second pushing unit 23 interferes with the cam mechanism 24. The cam mechanism 24 rotates along the slide track 1 under the thrust of the second pushing unit 23 to avoid affecting the movement of the second pushing unit 23. When the second pushing unit 23 returns, the cam mechanism 24 interferes with the working end of the second pushing unit 23 for the second time. At this time, the cam mechanism 24 is still inclined to rotate in the opposite direction along the slide track 1 due to the reverse thrust of the second pushing unit 23. However, the limit block 25 limits the rotation range of the cam mechanism 24, so that the cam mechanism 24 in turn squeezes the second pushing unit 23, causing it to elastically contract. The working end of the second pushing unit 23 is lower than the height of the upper surface of the slide track 1, avoiding affecting the position of the slide.

[0028] In the present application, the driving mechanism 21 drives the first pushing unit 22 and the second pushing unit 23 to move. The first pushing unit 22 abuts against the glass slide in the outward movement to drive the glass slide from the glass slide storage area 11 to the glass slide numbering area 12, and avoids the glass slide through the first transition surface in the return movement; at the same time, the second pushing unit 23 abuts against the glass slide in the outward movement to drive the glass slide from the glass slide numbering area 12 to the glass slide collection area 13, and limits the rotation range of the cam mechanism 24 through the limit block 25 in the return movement. The second pushing unit 23 is squeezed and contracted by the cam mechanism 24 to elastically avoid the glass slide, so that through one movement of the driving mechanism 21, the two actions of pushing out the glass slide and collecting the glass slide can be realized at the same time, the actions are continuous, and the production efficiency is high; and the glass slide is avoided by the first transition surface and the cam mechanism 24 to achieve continuous production.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving mechanism 21 includes a linear guide rail 211, a slider 212 and a first connecting block 213. The extension direction of the linear guide rail 211 is parallel to the extension direction of the glass slide track 1. The slider 212 is slidingly connected to the linear guide rail 211 and fixedly connected to the first connecting block 213. The first connecting block 213 is fixedly connected to the first pushing unit 22 and elastically connected to the second pushing unit 23.

[0030] The power source drives the slider 212 to move along the linear guide 211. Since the extension direction of the linear guide 211 is parallel to the extension direction of the slide track 1, the movement direction of the slider 212 is also parallel to the slide track 1. The slider 212 transmits the movement to the first pushing unit 22 and the second pushing unit 23 through the first connecting block 213. The linear guide 211 defines the movement path of the first pushing unit 22 and the second pushing unit 23. Since the first connecting block 213 is fixedly connected to the first pushing unit 22, the first pushing unit 22 will move synchronously with the movement of the slider 212. The second pushing unit 23 is elastically connected to the first connecting block 213, which means that it can be extended and retracted to a certain extent relative to the first connecting block 213.

[0031] When the slider 212 moves toward the slide numbering area 12, the first pushing unit 22 pushes the slide from the storage area to the numbering area 12 through its working end. At the same time, because the second pushing unit 23 is elastically connected to the first connecting block 213, it also moves toward the numbering area 12 with the movement of the slider 212. However, during the return movement, the cam mechanism 24 interferes with the movement path of the working end of the second pushing unit 23. The limit block 25 limits the rotation range of the cam mechanism 24, causing the cam mechanism 24 to squeeze the second pushing unit 23, causing it to elastically contract, avoid the slide, and push the slide from the numbering area 12 to the collection area 13.

[0032] The combination of the linear guide 211 and the slider 212 provides precise linear motion, ensuring accurate and stable slide pushing. The design of the first connecting block 213 ensures the synchronization of the movement of the first and second pushing units 22, 23, enabling coordinated actions and improving efficiency. The elastic connection design of the second pushing unit 23 allows it to elastically contract when squeezed by the cam mechanism 24, effectively preventing collision with the slide, protecting the slide, and ensuring accurate positioning.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving mechanism 21 further includes a driving motor 214 and a synchronous belt 215 . The driving motor 214 is transmission-connected to the synchronous belt 215 , and the synchronous belt 215 is fixedly connected to the first connecting block 213 .

[0034] The drive motor 214 serves as a power source, providing rotational power. The drive motor 214 converts rotational motion into linear motion via a timing belt 215. The timing belt 215 is fixedly connected to the first connecting block 213. Therefore, the linear motion of the timing belt 215 directly drives the first connecting block 213, the first pushing unit 22 fixedly connected thereto, and the second pushing unit 23 elastically connected thereto, to move along the linear guide rail 211.

[0035] The introduction of drive motor 214 provides stable and reliable rotational power for the equipment, ensuring stable and continuous operation. By controlling the speed and direction of drive motor 214, the timing belt 215 can be precisely controlled, thereby controlling the movement speed and displacement of the first connecting block 213 and the two pushing units, achieving precise pushing and collecting operations. Drive motor 214 is easily integrated with the control system, facilitating automated control and improving production efficiency.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the first transition surface of the first pushing unit 22 includes a slope or a curved surface, and in the horizontal direction, the highest point of the first transition surface is located between the lowest point and the glass slide collection area 13, and in the vertical direction, the height of the lowest point is less than the height of the upper surface of the glass slide track 1, and the height of the highest point is greater than the height of the upper surface of the glass slide track 1.

[0037] The first transition surface is toward the side of the slide storage area 11, that is, the left side in the figure has a height less than the height of the upper surface of the slide track 1, and toward the side of the slide collection area 13, that is, the right side in the figure has a height greater than the height of the upper surface of the slide track 1.

[0038] When the driving mechanism 21 drives the first pushing unit 22 toward the slide marking area 12, the working end of the first pushing unit 22 contacts the slide. Since the right side of the first transition surface is higher and protrudes from the upper surface of the slide track 1, it can effectively push the slide forward.

[0039] The first pushing unit 22 begins to return to the slide storage area 11. At this point, the lower left side of the first transition surface comes into play, below the upper surface of the slide track 1. The first transition surface begins to contact the slide, but the contact surface is inclined relative to the slide track 1. The contact surface can be a constant slope or a continuously changing curved surface. As the slide moves along the contact surface, it does not convert all thrust into horizontal motion, but rather converts most of the thrust into vertical motion through the contact surface.

[0040] The first pushing unit 22 continues to return until the first transition surface is separated from the slide completely. Due to the gradualness of the separation process, the position of the slide in the marking area 12 remains unchanged.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the second pushing unit 23 includes a collecting pusher head 231 and a guide plate 232, the collecting pusher head 231 is elastically connected to the driving mechanism 21, the guide plate 232 is connected to the side of the collecting pusher head 231, the movement path of the guide plate 232 interferes with the cam mechanism 24, and the guide plate 232 has a second transition surface on the side facing the slide numbering area 12.

[0042] The second pushing unit 23 is in the initial position, the collecting pusher 231 is located on the left side of the glass slide collection area 13, and the guide plate 232 is not in contact with the cam mechanism 24. The driving mechanism 21 drives the first pushing unit 22 to push the new glass slide from the storage area to the numbering area 12. At the same time, the driving mechanism 21 drives the second pushing unit 23 to move toward the numbering area 12 through the cam mechanism 24. As the second pushing unit 23 moves, the guide plate 232 begins to contact and interfere with the cam mechanism 24. The guide plate 232 pushes the cam mechanism 24 to rotate around the glass slide track 1 without affecting the movement process. Under the action of the driving mechanism 21, the collecting pusher 231 moves along the set trajectory, and its working end contacts the numbered glass slide. The collecting pusher 231 pushes the numbered glass slide from the numbering area 12 to the collection area 13.

[0043] The guide plate 232 has a second transition surface on the side facing the slide marking area 12. This transition surface is designed to ensure that the cam mechanism 24 is at least partially located above the guide plate 232 when the collecting pusher 231 interferes with the cam mechanism 24 for the second time during its return, so that the thrust of the cam mechanism 24 on the guide plate 232 and the collecting pusher 231 is at least partially a downward force in the vertical direction. During the return process, the second pushing unit 23 is elastically contracted by the squeezing of the cam mechanism 24, and the working end of the second pushing unit 23 lowers to avoid affecting the position of the slide. The second pushing unit 23 continues to move until it disengages from the cam mechanism 24, the squeezing force disappears, and the second pushing unit 23 raises its head under the action of the elastic force, returning to its initial state, ready to push the slide next time.

[0044] The design of the guide plate 232 and the second transition surface effectively avoids the glass slides, preventing the glass slides in the glass slide collection area 13 from being brought back to the pick numbering area 12. Through the cooperation of the cam mechanism 24 and the guide plate 232, the pushing and collecting actions are carried out continuously, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the second transition surface of the guide plate 232 includes a slope or an arc surface, and the highest point of the second transition surface in the horizontal direction is located between the lowest point and the glass slide collection area 13, and the height of the lowest point in the vertical direction is less than the height of the cam mechanism 24 in the drooping state, and the height of the highest point is greater than the height of the cam mechanism 24 in the drooping state.

[0046] The height of the second transition surface toward the slide storage area 11 , i.e., the left side, is smaller than the height of the cam mechanism 24 in the drooping state, and the height toward the slide collection area 13 , i.e., the right side, is larger than the height of the cam mechanism 24 in the drooping state.

[0047] When the second pushing unit 23 is not in contact with the cam mechanism 24 , the cam mechanism 24 is in a drooping state.

[0048] The drive mechanism 21 drives the second pusher unit 23 from the slide marking area 12 to the slide collection area 13. Because the right side of the guide plate 232 is higher, it first contacts the cam mechanism 24. This cam mechanism 24 is at least partially subjected to a horizontal thrust, which it converts into rotational motion around the slide track 1. The cam mechanism 24 rises, allowing the collection pusher head 231 and guide plate 232 to pass smoothly, without affecting the movement of the second pusher unit 23.

[0049] When the second pushing unit 23 passes through the area where the cam mechanism 24 is located, the cam mechanism 24 returns to its initial drooped state due to the influence of gravity. When the second pushing unit 23 begins to return, because the height of the left side of the second transition surface is less than the height of the cam mechanism 24 in its drooped state, the cam mechanism 24 contacts the second pushing unit 23. The contact surface is the second transition surface, and the cam mechanism 24 is at least partially located above the guide plate 232.

[0050] As the guide plate 232 gradually increases in height along the return motion direction, the upward thrust of the guide plate 232 on the cam mechanism 24 gradually increases. Since the limit block 25 prevents the cam mechanism 24 from rotating in the opposite direction, the cam mechanism 24 in turn gradually increases the downward squeezing force on the guide plate 232 and the collecting pusher 231. The collecting pusher 231 is elastically connected to the drive mechanism 21. The collecting pusher 231 is subjected to a downward squeezing force. The distance between the collecting pusher 231 and the drive mechanism 21 gradually decreases. When observed from the outside, the collecting pusher 231 appears to be lowered. When the collecting pusher 231 is lowered, it is lower than the upper surface of the glass slide track 1. At this time, the collecting pusher 231 and the glass slide are interlaced.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the pushing assembly 2 also includes a second connecting plate 26 and a spring 27. The second connecting plate 26 is respectively connected to the collection pusher head 231 and the driving structure, and the spring 27 is respectively connected to the collection pusher head 231 and the second connecting plate 26.

[0052] The second connecting plate 26 is rotatably connected to the collecting pusher 231 to form a movable joint. The spring 27 is respectively connected to the collecting pusher 231 and the second connecting plate 26 to provide elastic force.

[0053] When the guide plate 232 is pressed by the cam mechanism 24, it drives the second connecting plate 26 and the collecting pusher 231 to move. Because the second connecting plate 26 and the collecting pusher 231 are rotatably connected, the collecting pusher 231 can rotate relative to the second connecting plate 26 under the action of the spring 27. Specifically, the collecting pusher 231 is lowered from protruding above the upper surface of the slide track 1 to below the upper surface of the slide track 1.

[0054] Spring 27 acts as a buffer during the collection process, allowing the height of collection pusher 231 to be adjusted upward and downward. The axis of spring 27 is perpendicular to the extension direction of slide track 1. When collection pusher 231 contacts a slide, the elastic force of spring 27 provides sufficient pressure to ensure that the slide is pushed smoothly into collection area 13.

[0055] When the slide is completely pushed to the collecting area 13 , the driving mechanism 21 drives the second pushing unit 23 in the reverse direction, the cam mechanism 24 presses the guide plate 232 downward, and the spring 27 is compressed to lower the collecting pusher head 231 .

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the slide collection area 13 has a third transition surface, which includes an inclined surface or a curved surface. In the horizontal direction, the highest point of the third transition surface is located between the lowest point and the slide collection area 13.

[0057] Glass slides are stored in the glass slide collection area 13 by stacking them layer by layer, with the bottom glass slide partially suspended. When the collection pusher 231 of the second pushing unit 23 pushes the numbered glass slides to the collection area 13, the new glass slides will first contact the third transition surface. Since the left side of the third transition surface is lower, the glass slides will tilt along the contact surface. The tilted new glass slides can then squeeze in from the suspended part of the original bottom glass slide to become the new bottom glass slides. This design allows the glass slides to automatically slide into the collection area 13, preventing the glass slides from being blocked in the collection area 13.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the glass slide track 1 is provided with a through groove, the extension direction of the groove is parallel to the extension direction of the glass slide track 1, and the first pushing unit 22 and the second pushing unit 23 protrude from the upper surface of the glass slide track 1 through the groove for abutting against the glass slide.

[0059] When the driving mechanism 21 drives the first pushing unit 22 to move, the pusher head of the first pushing unit 22 protrudes from the upper surface of the slide track 1 through the groove, abuts against the slides in the slide storage area 11, and pushes the slides toward the numbering area 12. Similarly, when the driving mechanism 21 drives the second pushing unit 23 to move, the collection pusher head 231 of the second pushing unit 23 protrudes from the upper surface of the slide track 1 through the groove, abuts against the numbered slides in the numbering area 12, and pushes the slides to the collection area 13.

[0060] The grooves provide a path for the pushers of the first and second pusher units 22, 23 to move freely beneath the slide track 1 and protrude from the upper surface to contact the slides. Because the pushers protrude from the upper surface via the grooves, their movement is not interfered with by the slide track 1, ensuring smooth pushing and collecting.

[0061] Except for the groove portion, the upper surface of the slide rail 1 remains flat, which is conducive to the smooth movement and precise positioning of the slide.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the glass slide numbering equipment also includes a first material bin 3, a second material bin 4 and a numbering component 5, the first material bin 3 is installed in the glass slide storage area 11, the second material bin 4 is installed in the glass slide collection area 13, and the numbering component 5 is located between the first material bin 3 and the second material bin 4 and suspended above the glass slide standard area.

[0063] The first hopper 3, mounted in the slide storage area 11, is used to store unnumbered slides. Slides are released from the first hopper 3 one by one into the slide storage area 11, ready for numbering. The second hopper 4, mounted in the slide collection area 13, collects numbered slides. Numbered slides are then pushed into the second hopper 4 for storage.

[0064] The numbering assembly 5 is located between the first and second silos 3 and 4, suspended above the slide numbering area 12. When a slide is pushed into the numbering area 12, the numbering assembly 5 activates and numbers the slide. Once numbering is complete, the slide is pushed into the second silo 4 by the second pushing unit 23.

[0065] The drive mechanism 21, first push unit 22, second push unit 23, cam mechanism 24, and other components work in coordination to ensure that slides are smoothly released from the first hopper 3, numbered in the numbering area 12, and finally collected in the second hopper 4. The automatic storage and release functions of the first and second hoppers 3, 4 enable automatic loading and unloading of slides, greatly improving the automation level of the equipment.

[0066] Compared with the existing technology, the technical solution provided by this application brings the following beneficial technical effects: In the present application, the driving mechanism 21 drives the first pushing unit 22 and the second pushing unit 23 to move. The first pushing unit 22 abuts against the glass slide in the outward movement to drive the glass slide from the glass slide storage area 11 to the glass slide numbering area 12, and avoids the glass slide through the first transition surface in the return movement; at the same time, the second pushing unit 23 abuts against the glass slide in the outward movement to drive the glass slide from the glass slide numbering area 12 to the glass slide collection area 13, and limits the rotation range of the cam mechanism 24 through the limit block 25 in the return movement. The second pushing unit 23 is squeezed and contracted by the cam mechanism 24 to elastically avoid the glass slide, so that through one movement of the driving mechanism 21, the two actions of pushing out the glass slide and collecting the glass slide can be realized at the same time, the actions are continuous, and the production efficiency is high; and in the return process, the glass slide is avoided by the first transition surface and the cam mechanism 24 to achieve continuous production.

[0068] The specific implementation methods of the present application described above do not limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
