[0032] refer to Figure 1-3 , shows a sliding objective lens mounting frame, including a base plate 1, a slide plate 2 and a positioning mechanism 3, the base plate 1 is provided with a slide groove 11, the slide groove 11 is provided with a penetrating light opening 12; the slide plate 2 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 11, the slide plate 2 is provided with at least two objective lens mounting holes 21, and the at least two objective lens mounting holes 21 are arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the slide plate 2; the positioning mechanism 3 is used to fix the position of the slide plate 2 in the slide groove 11.

[0033] Specifically, by using the slide plate 2 as a carrier of the objective lens, the objective lens mounting hole 21 on the slide plate 2 can be used to mount different objective lenses, and the slide plate 2 is slidably connected to the slide groove 11 on the substrate 1. When the objective lens needs to be replaced, the position of the objective lens is adjusted by manually or mechanically pushing / pulling the slide plate 2, so that a suitable objective lens can be quickly selected. Compared with the method of the prior art that requires the objective lens to be disassembled, the structure of the utility model is more convenient; and compared with the method of using an objective lens turntable in the prior art, the structure of the utility model is simpler and the manufacturing cost is lower.

[0034] In addition, there are many ways to implement the positioning mechanism 3.

[0035] In some embodiments, reference may be made to Figure 3 The positioning mechanism 3 includes a set screw, and a first connection hole 13 is formed on the side wall of the slide slot 11. The set screw is disposed in the first connection hole 13. The end of the set screw presses the side wall of the slide plate 2 to fix the position of the slide plate 2 in the slide slot 11. In this embodiment, the set screw can be moved away from or close to the outer wall of the slide plate 2 by twisting the set screw. When the end of the set screw abuts against and presses the outer wall of the slide plate 2, the slide plate 2 can be fixed. When the set screw is separated from the slide plate 2, the slide plate 2 can be moved.

[0036] In other embodiments, reference may be made to Figure 3 and Figure 4The positioning mechanism 3 includes a ball screw 31, a first connecting hole 13 is formed on the side wall of the slide groove 11, and the ball screw 31 is threadedly connected in the first connecting hole 13; a plurality of positioning holes 22 are formed on the side wall of the slide plate 2, and the number and spacing of the positioning holes 22 match the number and spacing of the objective lens mounting holes 21; the ball screw 31 includes a screw body 311 and a steel ball 312 elastically retractable at one end of the screw body 311, and the steel ball 312 on the ball screw 31 is clamped in the positioning hole 22 to fix the position of the slide plate 2 in the slide groove 11. Conventionally, a spring for pushing the steel ball 312 should be provided in the screw body 311; in the present embodiment, since the steel ball 312 can elastically expand and contract on the screw body 311, when the skateboard 2 is directly pushed / pulled, the edge of the positioning hole 22 can squeeze the steel ball 312 to retract, so that the steel ball 312 is disengaged from the positioning hole 22, so that no additional tools are required when adjusting the position of the skateboard 2, and the operation is convenient; in addition, when the steel ball 312 is inserted into the positioning hole 22, the spring in the screw body 311 exerts a certain pressure on the steel ball 312, so that the steel ball 312 and the positioning hole 22 remain relatively fixed, thereby achieving the fixation of the skateboard 2, and a certain degree of thrust or pull needs to be applied to the skateboard 2 to move the skateboard 2.

[0037] In the embodiment of using ball screw 31 to fix the slide plate 2, more preferably, refer to Figure 3-5 The slide groove 11 is a dovetail groove or a T-shaped groove, and the two sides of the slide plate 2 are convexly provided with limiting protrusions 23 matching the inner wall contour of the slide groove 11. There are at least two limiting protrusions 23 on each side of the slide plate 2, and a clearance section 24 is formed between the two limiting protrusions 23. A cavity 4 is formed between the clearance section 24 on the side wall of the slide plate 2 and the inner wall of the slide groove 11, and the multiple positioning holes 22 are all arranged in the clearance section 24. Among them, the avoidance section 24 refers to a section of the position outside the skateboard 2 where the limiting protrusion 23 is not set, and the limiting protrusion 23 enables the skateboard 2 to move in the slide groove 11 only along the length direction of the slide groove 11; in this embodiment, during normal use, at least part of the screw body 311 enters the cavity 4 to block the limiting protrusion 23, so that the skateboard 2 cannot be separated from the slide groove 11, thereby preventing the skateboard 2 from falling from the substrate 1; and when the objective lens on the skateboard 2 needs to be replaced, the ball screw 31 can be twisted to make the ball screw 31 withdraw from the cavity 4, so that the ball screw 31 no longer blocks the limiting protrusion 23, and the skateboard 2 can be pulled out of the slide groove 11.

[0038] Specifically, in order to facilitate the installation and removal of the objective lens on the slide plate 2, the objective lens mounting hole 21 is provided with an internal thread.

[0039] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the base plate 1 is provided with a fixing hole 14. When used, the base plate 1 can be mounted on the lifting bracket 100 through the fixing hole 14. Figure 6 The structure of the lifting bracket 100 is only used to illustrate one application scenario of the substrate 1, and does not limit the lifting bracket 100 to a specific structure; in addition, the substrate 1 is provided with second connecting holes 15 distributed outside the light opening 12, and other components of the microscope imaging device can be connected through the second connecting holes 15.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
