[0002] Conventional paraffin-embedded tissue sections (conventional sections) are the most widely used method in conventional histological section preparation techniques. In pathology, they are often used to study, observe and judge the morphological changes of cell tissues. In combination with immunological techniques, they can be used for qualitative and localized observation and research of macromolecular substances such as polypeptides and proteins in cell tissues in tissue sections. In combination with FISH methods (fluorescence in situ hybridization), they can be used for gene localization and status analysis in cells. They are currently widely used in research in multidisciplinary fields.

[0003] In conventional FISH testing, paraffin-embedded tissue sections need to be processed through steps such as dewaxing, penetrant penetration, pepsin digestion, cleaning, draining, and waste liquid removal. This process involves the switching of multiple reagents, and the switching of each reagent requires a corresponding solenoid valve for control. Valves often require a large number of pipes to be connected to each other, which causes unreliable connections and increased maintenance difficulty. In addition, a large number of pipe connections will occupy a large space, resulting in reduced space utilization. Therefore, a FISH equipment integrated valve group is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0032] When used herein, the singular forms "a", "an", and "said / the" may also include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms "include / comprise" or "have" etc. specify the presence of stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof, but do not exclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof.

[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , a FISH device integrated valve group, comprising:

[0034] The housing 1 comprises a main housing 11, a rectangular cavity 12, a liquid outlet hole 13, a connecting tube 14, a rectangular hole 15 and a threaded hole 16. The main housing 11 is provided with a rectangular cavity 12 inside, and the outer surface of the main housing 11 is provided with a liquid outlet hole 13, and the liquid outlet hole 13 is communicated with the rectangular cavity 12. The top of the main housing 11 is provided with a connecting tube 14, and the inside of the connecting tube 14 is provided with a threaded hole 16 and a rectangular hole 15 from top to bottom in sequence, and the rectangular hole 15 is communicated with the rectangular cavity 12.

[0035] A blocking block 2 is disposed at the bottom end of the main housing 11, and the blocking block 2 includes a bottom plate 21, and the bottom plate 21 is disposed at the bottom end of the main housing 11 by screws, and a rectangular blocking block 22 is disposed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 21, and the rectangular blocking block 22 extends to the inside of the rectangular cavity 12;

[0036] Based on the above, the outer shell 1 and the sealing block 2 form a complete valve group outer shell, wherein the rectangular hole 12 provides an installation space for the movable column 5, the sealing block 6 and the return spring 8. The rectangular hole 12 restricts the sealing block 6, so that the liquid outlet hole 13 and the liquid guide hole 65 are interconnected. The setting of the rectangular hole 15 restricts the movable column 5 and the permanent magnet 9, so that the movable column 5 and the permanent magnet 9 can only move vertically.

[0037] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the electromagnetic block 3 is arranged outside the connecting cylinder 14 through a threaded fixing block 4 and includes an electromagnetic coil 32. The electromagnetic block 3 includes a coil housing 31, and two electromagnetic coils 32 are arranged inside the coil housing 31;

[0038] A permanent magnet 9, which is arranged outside the movable column 5 through a fixing nut 10 and is located inside the rectangular hole 15;

[0039] Based on the above, the electromagnetic block 3 plays a role in generating magnetic force and attracting the permanent magnet 9 to move. At this time, the two electromagnetic coils 32 and the permanent magnet 9 have the same magnetic pole direction. Figure 5 For example, when the electromagnetic coil 32 generates magnetic force after being energized, the upper magnetic pole is the N pole. At this time, the magnetic pole above the permanent magnet 9 also needs to be the N pole. If the electromagnetic coil 32 is energized, the upper magnetic pole is the S pole, then the magnetic pole above the permanent magnet 9 also needs to be the S pole. When the directions of the magnetic poles are consistent, the directions of the magnetic poles on one side adjacent to the electromagnetic coil 32 and the permanent magnet 9 are opposite, and the opposite magnetic poles generate attraction, thereby achieving the effect of attracting the permanent magnet 9 to move.

[0040] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the movable column 5 is arranged inside the rectangular cavity 12 and includes a connecting hole 52. The movable column 5 includes a column 51. The outer surface of the column 51 is provided with a connecting hole 52. The upper and lower sides of the column 51 are provided with a reset spring 8 in contact with the housing 1. The top of the column 51 is provided with a connecting rod 53 and a threaded rod 54 in sequence from bottom to top. The outside of the threaded rod 54 is provided with a permanent magnet 9 through a fixing nut 10.

[0041] a return spring 8, which is disposed inside the rectangular cavity 12 and in contact with the movable column 5;

[0042] Based on the above, after the movable column 5 and the permanent magnet 9 are connected to each other, the movable column 5 can move vertically under the drive of the permanent magnet 9, and the reset spring 8 is squeezed during the movement, so that the reset spring 8 generates elastic force, and then when the electromagnetic block 3 is not energized, the movable column 5 can return to the initial position under the action of the elastic force, that is, Figure 3 The position in.

[0043] A sealing block 6 is arranged inside the rectangular cavity 12, the sealing block 6 comprises a first block 61, a second block 62 is arranged between the first blocks 61, a liquid guide hole 65 is arranged on the outer surface of the second block 62, the liquid guide hole 65 is communicated with the liquid outlet hole 13, a third block 63 is arranged between the second blocks 62, an annular groove 64 is arranged on the adjacent surfaces of the first block 61, the second block 62 and the third block 63, a sealing ring 7 is arranged inside the annular groove 64, and the sealing ring 7 is in contact with the outer surface of the column 51;

[0044] Based on the above, the sealing block 6 and the sealing ring 7 cooperate with each other to play a sealing role. When the main body 51 moves upward or downward, the connecting hole 52 can only connect the liquid guide hole 65 and the liquid outlet hole 13 on one side. During the connection process, the sealing ring 7 plays a sealing role to prevent the liquid from flowing to other positions.

[0045] In actual use of this embodiment, the liquid outlet 13 on one side is connected to the pipeline for conveying reagents. The initial state of the device after connection is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the communication hole 52 is not connected to the liquid guide hole 65, so the reagent cannot be discharged from the liquid outlet hole 13 on the other side through the valve group;

[0046] When the reagent needs to be discharged, the electromagnetic coil 32 at this location can be energized (the control method is a prior art, and the control method is not the main body of the technical solution, so the specific content is not repeated here). When only the electromagnetic coil 32 at the top is energized to generate magnetic force, since opposite magnetic poles will attract each other, the permanent magnet 9 drives the movable column 5 to move upward together under the action of suction. After the movement, the connecting hole 52 is connected with the liquid guide hole 65 and the liquid outlet hole 13 above. At this time, the reagent is discharged from the liquid outlet hole 13 above this location;

[0047] The principle is the same. When only the electromagnetic coil 32 at the bottom is energized to generate magnetic force, the movable column 5 moves downward, so that the reagent can be discharged from the liquid outlet 13 at the bottom. When the movable column 5 moves, it squeezes the reset spring 8, so that the reset spring 8 generates a reverse elastic force. When the electromagnetic coil 32 is short-circuited and loses its magnetic force, the movable column 5 returns to the position under the action of the elastic force. Figure 3 Status in

[0048] The device integrates multiple solenoid valves to reduce the pipe connections between the solenoid valves, which not only increases the overall reliability, but also avoids the situation of too messy pipes and inconvenience in maintenance. In addition, without complicated pipes, the valve group occupies a smaller space.

[0049] In addition, the device adopts a unique solenoid valve structure, so that the same solenoid valve can control the outflow of two different reagents. Compared with the traditional two-position three-way solenoid valve, this solenoid valve has the function of controlling the reagent from flowing out, that is, there are three states: the upper reagent flows out, the lower reagent flows out, and both reagents do not flow out. The above three states are more in line with the actual needs of the FISH method.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
