Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the fields of intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment and biological science technology, and in particular to a fully automatic slide supply device with a slide bin and a stage coupled to each other. Background Art

[0002] Airborne fungal diseases seriously affect the high-quality and safe production of crops. The long-distance and cross-regional airflow transmission characteristics of fungal spores can cause large-scale epidemics in a relatively short period of time. Severe outbreaks may even completely destroy crops. The fully automatic slide device is of great significance for monitoring airborne fungal spores in the field and early warning of diseases. It does not require human intervention during its working process, and has the effects of high efficiency and labor saving. The fully automatic slide supply device and method with coupled movement of the slide bin and the stage provided by the utility model do not require human intervention to exchange slides, which lays a technical foundation for realizing fully automatic monitoring of airborne fungal spores.

[0003] At present, traditional spore catchers are mostly used to sample and monitor fungal spores in the air. First, the glass slide is manually pulled out, and then a glass slide with vaseline evenly applied on the surface is placed on it. Then the glass slide is placed in the capture device. After the fan is turned on for a certain period of time, the glass slide is manually taken out and brought back to the laboratory to mark and count the spores under a microscope. The results of this method may be affected by the operator's subjective judgment and subjective errors, resulting in low prediction accuracy and high error rate. In addition, the manual exchange of glass slides is labor-intensive, inefficient, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is impossible to automatically, real-time, and large-scale monitor the concentration of spores in farmland air, making it difficult to grasp the real-time and dynamic changes of large-scale farmland fungal spores. To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, He Dongjian, Lei Yu and others authorized a utility model patent "An automatic slide feeding and adsorbent coating device and method for fungal spore collection slides" (application number: CN2018117784.X), which provides an automatic slide feeding device and method for fungal spore collection slides. However, the device uses a motor to control the rotation of the slide plate to produce a certain slope, so that the slide slides into the slide slot of the stage. This automatic slide feeding through two motors increases the complexity of the slide retrieval device. At the same time, if there is foreign matter on the slide plate, the increased friction will also prevent the slide from sliding off.

[0004] For this purpose, we provide a fully automatic slide feeding device with coupled movement of the slide bin and the stage to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The terms used in the specification are only for the purpose of describing specific implementations and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0030] Please refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a fully automatic slide feeding device with a slide magazine and a stage coupled to each other, comprising: a stage 1, a slide magazine mechanism 2, a supporting aluminum plate 3 and a slide module 5, the supporting aluminum plate 3 is used to support the slide module 5, the slide magazine mechanism 2 is located above the stage 1, and the stage 1 can move along the slide module 5 to the bottom of the slide magazine mechanism 2, so as to take the slide 18 stored in the slide magazine mechanism 2 to the top of the stage 1.

[0031] In actual use, a microscopic image acquisition mechanism and a spore capturing air duct mechanism are also provided above the stage 1. The spore capturing air duct mechanism can capture spores in the air. Vaseline is smeared on the upper surface of the glass slide 18 for the spores to adhere to. The spore information on the glass slide 18 is observed by the microscopic image acquisition mechanism, and the data information is transmitted to a remote server through a processor, thereby achieving the purpose of continuous monitoring of spores in the field without the need for frequent manual collection.

[0032] It should be noted that the microscopic image acquisition mechanism and the spore capture air duct mechanism are existing common microscopic image acquisition devices or spore capture devices, which will not be described in detail here; the present invention is to provide a device for taking the glass slides 18 stored in the glass slide magazine mechanism 2 to the top of the stage 1, and the glass slide magazine mechanism 2 can store 365 glass slides 18, so that the glass slides 18 can be continuously supplied, thereby achieving the purpose of continuous operation in the field.

[0033] The stage 1 can move horizontally left and right along the X and Y axes. The stage 1 includes three guide rail linear screw slides composed of a first motor 4, a second motor 10 and a third motor 16, a drag chain 6, a stage base 8, a stage table 11, a guide rail linear slide 12, an exhaust hole 13, a glass supply block 14, five air holes 15 arranged in two rows, a glass pusher 17 and a glass limiting strip 19. The glass pusher 17 is arranged on the stage 1 and is used to push the glass slide 18. The slide module 5 is fixed to the supporting aluminum plate 3 by bolts. The glass supply block 14 is arranged on the stage 1 and is used to push the glass slide 18. The five air holes 15 arranged in two rows are distributed on both sides of the glass pusher 17 and are located on the stage 1. The glass limiting strip 19 is arranged on the side of the glass pusher 17 away from the glass supply block 14 and is used to guide the glass slide 18. There is a slide groove for placing a glass slide 18, the stage surface 11 is located on the upper surface of the stage 1, and the exhaust hole 13 is arranged on the side of the end of the stage 1. The exhaust hole 13 has an aperture inside the stage surface 11 and is connected to five air holes 15 arranged in two rows. The exhaust hole 13 is connected to a vacuum pump (not shown in the figure) through a hose; the control and driving of the first motor 4, the second motor 10 and the third motor 16 and the vacuum pump and other devices can complete the automatic vacuum negative pressure adsorption, supply and recovery of the glass slide 18 of the stage 1. The exhaust hole 13 is drilled on the side of the stage surface 11. When the glass slide 18 falls on the five air holes 15 arranged in two rows, if there is a need to fix the glass slide 18, the vacuum pump is turned on to exhaust, so that the five air holes 15 arranged in two rows can form a vacuum negative pressure adsorption to fix the glass slide 18.

[0034] Specifically, the third motor 16 drives the glass pusher 17 to move linearly and horizontally forward and backward along the guide rail in the Y-axis direction. When the glass pusher 17 moves forward along the glass slide groove, it can play a recycling function of pushing the glass slide 18 to slide outward to the recycling box.

[0035] The first motor 4 is arranged at one end of the slide module 5 and is used to drive the table top of the worktable 1 to move linearly and horizontally left and right along the X-axis direction of the slide module 5. The second motor 10 and the third motor 16 are both arranged on the side of the slide module 5 and are used to control and drive the table top of the worktable 1 to move linearly and horizontally forward and backward along the Y-axis direction of the slide module 5 and drive the glass pusher 17 to move linearly and horizontally forward and backward along the Y-axis direction along the slide module 5.

[0036] The two ends of the drag chain 6 are respectively connected to the stage 1 and the slide module 5 and are used to assist the stage 1 to move smoothly; the glass supply block 14 protrudes from the stage surface 11, and the glass supply block 14 can automatically push the slide 18 to fall exactly on the five air holes 15 set in two rows on the stage surface 11, thereby automatically providing the slide 18 to the stage 1; the drag chain 6 and the stage 1 are connected by an L-shaped aluminum bar 9.

[0037] In order to increase the stability of the drag chain 6 in the present invention, a magnetic stabilizing component is added to one side of the drag chain 6; the magnetic stabilizing component can solve the problem of the drag chain 6 falling due to the excessive length of the drag chain 6.

[0038] Among them, the magnetic stabilization component includes a magnetic block 7 and a magnetic sheet 29. The magnetic sheet 29 is fixedly arranged on the side of the slide module 5 close to the drag chain 6. There are multiple magnetic blocks 7, and the multiple magnetic blocks 7 are fixedly arranged on each link side of the drag chain 6 one by one. Each link is rotatably connected by a bearing 30, and the magnetic block 7 and the magnetic sheet 29 attract each other. In this way, even when the drag chain 6 is stretched to a very long length, the magnetic block 7 on each link side can be stably adsorbed and fixed on the magnetic sheet 29 on the side of the slide module 5 without falling, thereby realizing the stable movement of the worktable 1.

[0039] The guide rail linear slide 12 is used to connect between the stage 1 and the slide module 5. The stage base 8 is fixed on the stage 1 by screws, and the stage base 8 is slidably connected to the slide module 5.

[0040] The first motor 4 drives the stage base 8 and drives the drag chain 6 to move linearly and horizontally left and right along the slide module 5 in the X-axis direction. The drag chain 6 can make the stage base 8 more stable when moving horizontally left and right. When the glass supply block 14 runs to the position below the slide bin 22 of the slide bin mechanism 2, the glass slide 18 in the slide bin 22 can be pushed onto the stage 1 by the glass supply block 14 moving horizontally to the left. The stage 1 and the slide bin mechanism 2 are a film supply device. The stepper motor drives the stage 1 to move horizontally left and right and the slide bin mechanism 2 to move vertically up and down. The device and method can automatically push the slide 18 onto the stage 1 continuously and smoothly. The maximum number of slides 18 that can be stored is 365, which can be used for long-term work.

[0041] The glass slide bin mechanism 2 includes a vertical guide rail linear slide module 21, a glass slide bin 22, a bin bottom plate 23, a glass slide limit block 24 and a glass slide bin support plate 25 formed by a fourth motor 20. The glass slide bin 22 is fixed on the vertical guide rail linear slide module 21 by screws. The fourth motor 20 drives the glass slide bin 22 to move vertically up and down along the Z-axis direction of the vertical guide rail linear slide module 21. The glass slide 18 is stacked in the glass slide bin 22. The fourth motor 20 is fixedly installed above the vertical guide rail linear slide module 21.

[0042] A slide limiting block 24 is connected to the bottom of the outer wall of one side of the slide chamber 22 .

[0043] The bottom of the slide bin 22 and the bottom of one side wall near the slide limit block 24 are both provided with a hollow structure for the slide 18 to be pushed out, which is convenient for people to manually place and take out the slide 18. The slide groove formed between the glass supply block 14 and the glass limit strip 19 on the stage table 11 allows the slide 18 to move between the two to prevent the slide 18 from shifting during operation; the slide bin bottom plate 23 is fixed to one side of the bottom of the slide bin 22 by screws; the slide 18 at the bottom of the slide bin 22 is pushed out from the hollow at the bottom of the left side wall through the glass supply block 14, and the slide limit block 24 connected to the bottom of the left outer wall of the slide bin 22 limits the push-out of only one slide 18. When the first motor 4 drives the stage 1 to move to the left at a uniform speed, the left side of the slide 18 abuts against the glass limit strip 19 on the leftmost side of the slide groove of the stage 1, and the slide 18 is pushed into the slide groove of the stage 1.

[0044] The slide magazine support plate 25 is fixedly mounted on one side of the vertical guide rail linear slide module 21 , and the slide magazine support plate 25 is fixed to an external support.

[0045] A groove 26 with the same thickness as a glass slide 18 is provided in the middle of the film bin bottom plate 23, and a long strip-shaped gap 27 is provided in the middle of the groove 26. The long strip-shaped gap 27 is convenient for the glass block 14 to push the glass slide 18. The groove 26 has an inclined slope 28 at the front end near the glass slide limit block 24, which facilitates the glass slide 18 to be pushed out from the hollowed-out bottom of the left side wall to prevent it from being stuck.

[0046] It is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modification, equivalent substitution or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
