Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical test slides, and in particular relates to a novel continuous replacement device for pathological slides. Background Art

[0002] A slide is a piece of glass or quartz used to place objects when observing with a microscope. When making samples, cells or tissue slices are placed on the slide, and a cover glass is placed on it for observation. In optics, a thin piece of glass-like material used to produce phase difference is usually placed under a microscope when examining microorganisms.

[0003] In the existing microbiological examination, only a single slide can be placed on the stage of the microscope for inspection. After the slide is placed on the stage, a clamp is needed to clamp and fix the slide. Therefore, when multiple microorganisms need to be examined under the microscope, the clamping assembly needs to be released first before the slide can be disassembled and replaced. This operation is very troublesome and reduces the efficiency of microbiological examination. Utility Model Content

[0034] Working process:

[0035] When observing microorganisms under the microscope, the carrier box 4 containing the slides 3 is placed on the left end of the support frame 1, and then the middle part of the support frame 1 is aligned with the lower end of the objective lens of the microscope, and the linear motion mechanism 2 is started to drive the conveying plate 71 to move to the leftmost end. The column 53 cooperates with the triangular plate 52 to open the first limiting frame 51, and the lowermost carrier box 4 carrying the slides 3 falls into the sink 72.

The second limit rack 61 limits the carrier box 4, and the cylinder 82 drives the ejection rack 81 to reset. The linear motion mechanism 2 drives the conveyor plate 71 to move to the leftmost end to convey the next carrier box 4, and repeats the above steps to complete the continuous replacement and observation of the slides 3.
