Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to a slide rack transport device. Background Art
[0002] On the liquid-based cell preparation and staining equipment, the slides are the carriers of the experiment. After the preparation and staining are completed, the slides are collected and placed in the slide rack. When the slide data needs to be processed urgently, the experimental equipment can only be shut down, the equipment can be opened, and the slide rack can be taken out to seal the slides and analyze and judge the experiment.
[0003] In current applications, it is impossible to automate the transportation of slide racks, which requires an increased labor burden and greatly affects the production efficiency of experimental equipment. Moreover, under normal circumstances, in order to achieve multi-directional movement of the slide rack transportation device, more motion mechanisms are required, resulting in a larger device size and low space utilization. Summary of the invention
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a glass slide rack transport device, which adopts a stacking structure to enlarge the transport stroke, can not only automatically transport to improve the efficiency of experimental preparation, but also reduce the volume to improve space utilization, and can be integrated into experimental equipment according to actual needs.

[0007] The first driving assembly located on the base can provide power for the transport device. When the first driving assembly drives the support frame to transmit, the support frame moves along the first guide mechanism. At the same time, since the first seat plate is transmission-connected with the first driving assembly, a second guide mechanism is provided between the support frame and the first seat plate, and the first seat plate will move along the second guide mechanism at the same time. The slide rack is placed on the first seat plate, and the transport stroke of the slide rack is the sum of the stroke of the first guide mechanism and the stroke of the second guide mechanism. The stacking structure formed by the support frame enlarges its transport stroke, which not only achieves automated transportation of the slide rack and improves the efficiency of experimental preparation, but also reduces the volume of the device, improves space utilization, and facilitates integration in experimental equipment and docking with devices of other processes.
