[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3The utility model provides an embodiment of a movable film clamping claw for a glass slide scanner, comprising a base 1, four groups of bolt holes are arranged at the bottom end of the base 1, and the base 1 can be installed in the interior of the glass slide scanner by matching the bolt holes. The top of the outer wall of the base 1 contacts with a moving seat 2, and the inner wall of the moving seat 2 is elastically connected with a wedge block 5 through a limit spring 4. The surface of the wedge block 5 is provided with a protrusion, which can keep the wedge block 5 on the inner wall of the moving seat 2 at all times and will not separate from the inner wall of the moving seat 2. The wedge block 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving seat 2, and the wedge block 5 is engaged with the card slot 9. The engagement between the two fixes the sliding column 3 at the position where the inner wall of the moving seat 2 is lowered, so that it can be adjusted and fixed according to the thickness of different glass slides. The sliding ring 8 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding column 3, and the surface of the sliding column 3 is provided with a guide groove that fits the inner wall of the sliding ring 8, so that the sliding ring 8 can only move on the inner wall of the guide groove and cannot separate from the surface of the sliding column 3.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the sliding column 3 is lowered on the inner wall of the moving seat 2, the groove 9 on its surface will contact the inclined surface of the wedge 5, thereby squeezing the wedge 5 out of the inner wall of the moving seat 2 until the next set of grooves 9 are reached. The elastic action of the limit spring 4 will restore it to its initial position to engage with the groove 9 at the current position of the sliding column 3 to fix the moving position of the sliding column 3. The inner wall of the moving seat 2 is slidably connected with the sliding column 3, and the outer walls of the two sets of sliding rings 8 are fixedly connected with a clamping plate 10, which is matched with the surface of the moving seat 2 by the downward movement of the clamping plate 10, so as to fix the glass slide and facilitate scanning thereof. The surface of the sliding column 3 is provided with multiple sets of grooves 9.

[0037] Reference Figure 5-Figure 6The bottom end of the outer wall of the moving seat 2 is fixedly connected with two groups of sliders 12, and the inner wall of the left slider 12 is provided with a fixing mechanism, which includes a limiting ball 14, the top of the limiting ball 14 is provided with a spherical shape, and the bottom end is cylindrical, and one end of the cylindrical shape is connected to the connecting spring 13, and the limiting ball 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slider 12, and the top of the outer wall of the limiting ball 14 contacts the inner wall of the ball groove 15, and the contact between the two allows the moving seat 2 to be fixed in multiple positions of movement in the base 1, and will not move without the influence of external force, the limiting ball 14 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the slider 12 through the connecting spring 13, and one end of the connecting spring 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer wall of the limiting ball 14, The other end of the connecting spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slider 12. When the moving seat 2 moves, the limiting ball 14 on the inner wall of the slider 12 will be disengaged from the ball groove 15 at the current position of the base 1, thereby being squeezed by the inner wall of the ball groove 15, allowing the limiting ball 14 to move on the inner wall of the slider 12 until it reaches the next set of ball grooves 15, whereupon it will be elastically acted upon by the connecting spring 13 to restore it to its initial position, so as to contact with the ball groove 15 at the current position and fix the position of the moving seat 2. The slider 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the base 1. By setting two sets of sliders 12, the moving position of the moving seat 2 is fixed to prevent the moving seat 2 from sliding out of the inner wall of the base 1. The inner wall of the base 1 is provided with multiple sets of ball grooves 15.

[0038] Reference Figure 3-Figure 4 The inner wall of the sliding column 3 is provided with a limiting mechanism, and the sliding column 3 is clamped with two groups of sliding rings 8 through the limiting mechanism. The limiting mechanism includes a pressing block 6, and the pressing block 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding column 3. The pressing block 6 is provided with two groups, and the two groups correspond to the sliding rings 8 at the connection. The inner side wall of the sliding ring 8 is provided with a through hole 11, and the bottom end of the outer wall of the pressing block 6 is plugged into the through hole 11. The plugging between the two fixes the position of the sliding ring 8, thereby preventing the sliding ring 8 from being unable to press the glass slide when following the sliding column 3 to descend. The push block 6 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sliding column 3 through the return spring 7, one end of the return spring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding column 3, and the other end of the return spring 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the push block 6. When a group of sliding rings 8 need to be moved, the corresponding push block 6 is moved to make its bottom end disengage from the through hole 11 of the sliding ring 8, thereby moving the sliding ring 8 to rise and fall, and when the sliding ring 8 moves to the initial position, the push block 6 will be elastically acted upon by the return spring 7 to fix the position of the sliding ring 8.

[0039] Working principle: First, place the two groups of glass slides that need to be scanned on both sides of the moving seat 2. At this time, the sliding column 3 is pressed to descend on the inner wall of the moving seat 2. When the sliding column 3 descends, it will drive the two groups of sliding rings 8 on the outer wall to descend synchronously, so that the clamping plate 10 on its surface will follow it to descend synchronously. When the sliding column 3 is descending, the groove 9 on its surface will contact the inclined surface of the wedge block 5 on the inner wall of the moving seat 2, thereby squeezing the wedge block 5 outward from the inner wall of the moving seat 2 until the next group of grooves 9. It will be elastically acted upon by the limit spring 4 to restore it to its initial position, and engage with the groove 9 at the current position of the sliding column 3 to fix the moving position of the sliding column 3. This cycle is repeated until the clamping plates 10 on both sides clamp the glass slides. At this time, the sliding column 3 will be engaged by the wedge block 5 and stay in the current position.

[0040] At this time, the glass slide on the surface can be scanned by a glass slide scanner. When the scanning of the glass slide on the left is completed, the movable seat 2 can be directly moved on the surface of the base 1. At this time, the limiting ball 14 on the inner wall of the slider 12 will be disengaged from the ball groove 15 at the current position of the base 1, thereby being squeezed by the inner wall of the ball groove 15, allowing the limiting ball 14 to move on the inner wall of the slider 12 until it reaches the next set of ball grooves 15, whereupon it will be elastically acted upon by the connecting spring 13 to restore it to its initial position, so as to contact with the ball groove 15 at the current position, thereby fixing the position of the movable seat 2, and repeating this process until the glass slide on the right side of the movable seat 2 moves to the scanning head of the scanner for scanning.

[0041] At the same time, when replacing the glass slides after the previous group of scans, the button block 6 can be pressed to make its bottom end disengage from the through hole 11 corresponding to the sliding ring 8, so that the sliding ring 8 can move on the surface of the sliding column 3, so that the corresponding clamping plate 10 can cancel the clamping of the glass slide at the current position. At this time, the glass slide at the current position can be replaced. After the replacement is completed, the sliding ring 8 is moved to the initial position. At this time, the button block 6 is released, and it will be elastically acted upon by the reset spring 7 to restore it to its initial position, so that it can be plugged into the through hole 11 of the sliding ring 8, thereby fixing the position of the sliding ring 8.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
