[0044] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0045] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the basic concept of the utility model is to use a heating and blowing assembly to heat the room temperature air in the environment, and then transmit it to the blowing structure through an air supply duct and spray it out by the blowing structure to dry the glass slide. Therefore, the amount of air required to be heated initially is less, the drying efficiency is improved, and the hot air blown out by the blowing structure can always maintain a high degree of dryness, so that the tissue sample on the glass slide can also be efficiently dried in the later stage.

[0046] Specific embodiments of the slide drying module provided by the utility model:

[0047] The slide drying module is shown in the attached Figure 1 , including a protective cover, a heating and air supply structure and a bearing structure for bearing the tray 4.

[0048] The heating and air supply structure includes an air supply duct 1, a blowing structure arranged at the rear end of the air supply duct 1, and a heating and blowing component connected to the air supply duct 1 and used to heat the air in the environment and drive the air to flow from the head end to the rear end of the air supply duct 1.

[0049] See attached Figure 2 The air supply duct 1 includes a main section 11 and a connecting section 12 connected to the main section 11. The main section 11 and the connecting section 12 are both rigid ducts. The rigid duct is specifically a duct formed by bending a metal plate. In other embodiments, the rigid duct can also be formed by plastic injection molding. Both ends of the main section 11 in the length direction are closed structures. The connecting section 12 is connected to the middle of the main section 11. The end of the connecting section 12 away from the main section 11 is the head end of the air supply duct 1, and the main section 11 constitutes the tail end of the air supply duct 1. When in use, air enters the air supply duct 1 from the head end, flows to the main section 11 in the air supply duct 1, and is blown out by the blowing structure.

[0050] The end of the connecting section 12 away from the main section 11 is connected to a transition section 13 with a gradually changing cross-sectional size. The small end of the transition section 13 faces the direction of gas flow, and the large end of the transition section 13 is connected to the outlet of the heating and blowing assembly, so that the hot air blown out of the heating and blowing assembly can be collected at the transition section 13, thereby increasing the flow rate of the hot air. The transition section 13 is arranged at the end of the connecting section 12, which can facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the connecting section 12. The heating and blowing assembly is a heating fan 2, including a heating element and a fan assembly. The heating fan 2 is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. The heating fan 2 is fixedly installed at the large end of the transition section 13 by bolts. A connecting portion 15 is arranged on the lower side of the large end of the transition section 13, and the connecting portion 15 includes a vertical plate and a horizontal horizontal plate vertically connected to the vertical plate. The horizontal plate is provided with perforations for easy connection with the frame.

[0051] See attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 The bottom of the main section 11 has two inclined walls arranged along the width direction of the main section 11. The two inclined walls are connected at an angle with the sharp corners of the connection facing downward. Each inclined wall is provided with a nozzle 3 connected to the inner cavity of the main section 11, and the nozzle 3 constitutes a blowing structure. The nozzle 3 on the inclined wall can blow out airflow at an angle, and the inclined airflow can have a larger drying range. Therefore, when the nozzles 3 on the two inclined walls are close to each other, the two rows of glass slides 5 can be dried simultaneously, thereby improving the compactness of the arrangement of the nozzles 3. The nozzle 3 can be a rectangular long hole or a waist-shaped long hole, so that the airflow ejected from the nozzle 3 is flat, the ejected airflow can have a wider range, and at the same time ensure a larger airflow velocity. In other embodiments, the nozzle 3 can also be circular. See the attached Figure 4 The number of nozzles 3 can be equal to the number of glass slides 5, so that each glass slide 5 can be assigned a nozzle 3 to blow air thereto. Figure 5 The number of nozzle holes 3 can be less than the number of glass slides 5. In this case, the nozzle holes 3 are long and narrow, and one nozzle hole 3 can be used to blow air to multiple glass slides 5. Figure 6 The number of nozzle holes 3 can also be greater than the number of glass slides 5. In this case, the nozzle holes 3 are arranged in groups, each group of nozzle holes 3 corresponds to a glass slide 5 one by one, and two or more nozzle holes 3 are used to blow air to the same glass slide 5.

[0052] See attached Figure 1The protective cover includes two side panels 6 arranged opposite to each other and a top panel 7 located between the side panels 6. The side panels 6 are located at both ends of the length direction of the main section 11. Connecting ear panels 14 are fixedly arranged at both ends of the length direction of the main section 11. Connecting holes for bolts to pass through are provided on the connecting ear panels 14 and the corresponding positions of the side panels 6, so that the connecting ear panels 14 are fixedly connected to the side panels 6 by bolts. The connecting section 12 constitutes a connecting beam connecting the two side panels 6, so that the protective cover does not need to be separately provided with a connecting beam, simplifying the structure of the protective cover. In other embodiments, the main section 11 can also be connected to the side panels 6 by welding. The top panel 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting end, which plays a role in preventing objects from above from falling onto the glass slide 5, and can also reduce the rate of heat dissipation.

[0053] One side of the protective cover in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the two side panels 6 is an open structure for the tray 4 to enter and exit the protective cover. The open structure can also facilitate the hot air to flow out of the protective cover after use. The heating fan 2 is located on the other side of the protective cover away from the open structure, which can prevent the inhalation of used wet air and prevent interference with the tray 4 entering and exiting the protective cover. The bearing structure is a flat bearing platform 8, which is located directly below the main section 11, and the two ends of the bearing platform 8 are respectively fixedly connected to the two side panels 6 by bolts. The tray 4 can be directly placed on the bearing platform 8 after entering the protective cover from the open structure.

[0054] When in use, the tray 4 with the glass slide 5 is placed on the carrier 8. After the tray 4 is placed firmly, the heating fan 2 is started. The heating fan 2 blows the normal temperature air in the environment into the air supply duct 1, and heats the blown normal temperature air to form hot air. The hot air flows from the head end to the tail end of the air supply duct 1, and is blown out by the blowing structure at the tail end. The hot air blown out by the blowing structure blows obliquely over the upper surface of the glass slide 5, heats the upper surface of the glass slide 5 to evaporate the liquid on the glass slide 5, and accelerates the evaporation of the liquid on the glass slide 5 by convection.

[0055] Compared with the prior art, firstly, the hot air heated by the heating fan 2 will be directly delivered to each glass slide 5 through the air supply duct 1, and the amount of air that needs to be heated initially is less, so the drying of the tissue samples on the glass slide 5 can be started faster, thereby improving the drying efficiency; secondly, the gas entering the air supply duct 1 is the air in the environment, so the hot air blown out by the blowing structure can always remain dry, so that the tissue samples on the glass slide 5 can also be efficiently dried in the later stage, and the final drying effect will also be better.

[0056] In the above embodiments, the first end of the air supply duct is arranged on the side of the protective cover away from the open structure, which can ensure that the air sucked into the air supply duct is dry air. In other embodiments, the first end of the air supply duct can also be arranged on the top or side plate of the protective cover.

[0057] In different embodiments, the protective cover can have various forms. For example, in one embodiment, the protective cover can be a box with an opening on one side, and the tray can enter and exit the box from the opening. The bottom wall of the box constitutes a bearing structure for placing and carrying the tray. Therefore, in this embodiment, no separate bearing platform is provided in the box, and the head end of the air supply duct passes through the side wall of the box away from the opening and extends out of the box, and the heating fan is installed on the outside of the box; on the basis of this embodiment, in order to further reduce the heat dissipation, a flip door that can be pushed open by the tray can be provided at the opening of the box, and the excess gas in the box can be discharged from the gap between the flip door and the box. In other embodiments, the protective cover can be a frame structure.

[0058] In the above embodiments, the transition section can increase the flow rate of hot air, enhance the drying effect, and improve the drying efficiency. In other embodiments, the heating and blowing assembly can include a blower with higher power and a heating element. In this embodiment, the gas flow rate blown by the blower is higher, and there is no need to accelerate the airflow, so the transition section may not be provided.

[0059] In the above embodiments, the blowing structure is formed by processing the spray hole on the main body section, which can simplify the structure. In other embodiments, the blowing structure can be an independent nozzle member, and the nozzle member is installed on the lower inclined wall of the main body section and the nozzle member is connected to the inner cavity of the main body section, which can also achieve the same effect. The nozzle member can be arranged obliquely on the main body section, so in other embodiments, the main body section can also be provided with no inclined wall, and the nozzle member can be arranged on the side walls on both sides of the width direction of the main body section, and the nozzle outlet of the nozzle member is inclined downward.

[0060] In the above embodiments, the air supply duct is made of a rigid duct, which can be conveniently processed into a spray hole and can also play a supporting role. In other embodiments, an independent connecting beam can be set in the protective cover to support the protective cover. The air supply duct in this embodiment can be made of a flexible duct, and the blowing structure is an independent nozzle member, which is fixedly installed on the top wall in the protective cover. The air supply duct includes a main duct and a branch duct connected to the main duct. The end of the branch duct away from the main duct is connected to the corresponding nozzle member. In this embodiment, the heating fan is installed on the protective cover, and the head end of the air supply duct is connected to the outlet of the heating fan.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the blowing structure groups are arranged in two rows, and two rows of glass slides can be dried at the same time. In other embodiments, the bottom wall of the main body section is a horizontal wall, and the width of the main body section is widened, so that three or four rows of blowing structure groups can be arranged on the bottom wall of the main body section to dry more glass slides. In other embodiments, if the number of glass slides to be dried is small, the blowing structure group can be arranged in only one row.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the heating and blowing assembly is arranged at the head end of the air supply duct, which can be easily installed. In other embodiments, the air supply duct can also be divided into two separate sections, the heating and blowing assembly is arranged between the two sections, and the inlet and outlet of the heating and blowing assembly are respectively connected to the two sections. After the end of the air supply duct section connected to the inlet of the heating and blowing assembly away from the heating and blowing assembly is arranged outside the protective cover, the heating and blowing assembly can be arranged inside the protective cover. In this embodiment, a transition section can be arranged on the air supply duct section connected to the outlet of the heating and blowing assembly.

[0063] In other embodiments, the air supply duct may have only a main body section, and the heating fan is disposed at one end of the main body section in the length direction and is connected to the main body section.
