Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a self-cleaning slide bin. Background Art

[0002] In modern medical equipment, slide bins equipped with automatic slide ejection functions have been widely used. However, due to the characteristics of the slide material, the slide itself may carry debris, or the friction between the slide and the slide bin may produce debris, which will make it difficult for the slide bin to eject the slide smoothly during actual use. Specifically, the generated slide debris may fall to the bottom of the slide bin, causing the slide above the debris to be lifted up by the debris, and the height of the lifted slide is higher than the height of the slide ejection hole of the slide bin, which eventually causes the slide to be stuck in the slide ejection hole and then crushed by the external force of pushing the slide, which greatly increases the failure rate of the slide bin and significantly reduces the efficiency and quality of medical work.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

The height of the slide is lower than / equal to the height of the slide exit hole, so that the slide can slide out of the slide exit hole smoothly, and the automatic slide exit function of the slide bin can operate normally, reducing the failure rate of medical equipment. Medical staff do not need to spend extra time and energy to regularly clean up the debris in the slide bin, which significantly improves the efficiency and quality of medical work.

[0017] 3. The space between the filter peak and the placement block can be used to accommodate debris, which increases the space for debris, reduces the probability of debris lifting the glass slide, and reduces the probability of the sheet hole getting stuck; the height difference between the filter peak and the placement block can also guide the debris to be discharged toward the filter hole, improving the filtration efficiency and ensuring the cleanliness inside the equipment; the strip-shaped filter peak is located between the two filter holes, which can effectively guide the debris to be discharged along the filter hole, optimize the filtration path, reduce the accumulation of debris, and improve the filtration efficiency.

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the embodiments of the utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar components or components with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the utility model, and cannot be interpreted as limiting the utility model.

[0030] In one embodiment, Figure 1 , 4 As shown, a self-cleaning slide bin includes a slide box 20, and the slide box 20 includes a bottom plate and a side plate 22. The bottom plate is located at the bottom of the slide box 20, and the side plate 22 is located at the side of the slide box 20. The slides are accommodated in the slide box 20 surrounded by the bottom plate and the side plate 22. The upper surface of the bottom plate is uneven, and the bottom surface of the slide 10 in the slide box is supported by the bottom plate. The side plate is provided with a sheet outlet 40, and the sheet outlet 40 is adjacent to the bottom plate. The sheet outlet 40 is used for the slide 10 on the bottom plate to slide out, that is, the height difference between the highest point of the sheet outlet 40 and the highest point of the bottom plate is greater than / equal to the thickness of the slide 10, and the width of the sheet outlet 40 is greater than / equal to the length of the slide 10, so that the slide 10 located on the uneven bottom plate can slide out of the slide box from the sheet outlet 40 adjacent to the bottom plate. The glass slide can be slid out by vacuum adsorption, pushing out, clamping, etc. For example, a through hole is opened on the other side plate of the glass slide box opposite to the slide outlet 40, and the robot pushes the glass slide 10 through the through hole to make the glass slide 10 slide out from the slide outlet 40; for example, a vacuum suction cup is set to suck out the glass slides at the slide outlet one by one, etc.

[0031] The upper surface of the bottom plate is uneven, specifically refers to the upper surface of the bottom plate having protrusions, or depressions, or both protrusions and depressions, and the glass slide 10 is supported on the highest point of the upper surface of the bottom plate, so that the uneven bottom plate allows a cavity to exist between the bottom plate and the glass slide supported on the bottom plate, so that debris below the glass slide 10 can be accommodated in the cavity, increasing the accommodating space for the debris, cleaning up some of the debris at the bottom of the glass slide 10, making it difficult for the glass slide 10 supported on the highest point of the bottom plate to be lifted up by the debris, and the glass slide 10 can slide out of the slide outlet smoothly, reducing the failure rate of the glass slide bin, reducing the frequency of medical staff cleaning up the debris in the glass slide bin, and significantly improving the efficiency and quality of medical work.

[0032] In one embodiment, a self-cleaning slide chamber, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the bottom surface of the slide box 20 is provided with an opening 21. The bottom plate is arranged opposite to the opening, and the bottom plate is used to support the slide 10 at the opening 21, so that the slide 10 at the opening 21 of the bottom surface of the slide box will not fall directly under the action of gravity. The height difference between the upper surface of the bottom plate and the lower surface of the opening 21 is greater than / equal to the height of the slide 10, that is, a slide outlet hole 40 is arranged between the upper surface of the bottom plate and the lower surface of the opening 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the slide 10 can slide out of the slide bin through the slide exit hole 40 to realize the automatic slide exit function of the slide bin.

[0033] A through filter hole 31 is provided on the upper part of the bottom plate. The debris carried by the glass slide 10 itself and the debris generated by the friction between the glass slide 10 and the glass slide bin will fall to the bottom plate of the bottom surface of the glass slide box under the action of gravity. The through filter hole 31 is provided on the bottom plate part, so that the debris below the glass slide 10 can be discharged from the filter hole 31, while the glass slide 10 is still supported on the bottom plate, reducing the probability of the glass slide 10 being lifted by the debris. The height of the glass slide 10 is lower than / equal to the height of the slide outlet hole 40, so that the glass slide 10 can smoothly slide out of the slide outlet hole 40, and the automatic slide outlet function of the slide bin can operate normally, reducing the failure rate of medical instruments, and medical staff do not need to spend extra time and energy to regularly clean up the debris in the slide bin, which significantly improves the efficiency and quality of medical work.

[0034] In one embodiment, the bottom plate can be a flat plate, multiple discontinuous flat plates, or other structures, all of which can play the role of supporting the glass slide. For example, the bottom plate is a flat plate, both ends of which are connected to the glass slide box, and a filter hole is provided on the upper part of the flat plate, so that the part without the hole on the flat plate can support the glass slide, and the part with the filter hole can discharge debris.

[0035] In one embodiment, the bottom plate includes a pair of placement blocks 30 with uneven upper surfaces, and the pair of placement blocks 30 are respectively located at the two ends of the bottom of the glass slide box, that is, a placement block 30 is respectively provided at the two ends of the opening 21, so that the two ends of the glass slide 10 falling from the opening 21 can be supported by the pair of placement blocks 30, and the glass slide 10 will not fall directly. Compared with setting the bottom plate as a whole supporting flat plate, the gap between the pair of spaced placement blocks 30 can freely drop debris, reducing the accumulation of debris and making it easier to observe the condition of the glass slide 10 at the opening 21.

[0036] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, any placement block 30 and the side plate can be fixedly connected by screws 50 so that the placement block 30 can be installed and removed at any time.

[0037] In one embodiment, a through filter hole 31 is formed on the upper part of the placement block 30, that is, the portion of the placement block 30 where the filter hole 31 is not formed can support the glass slide, and the debris under the glass slide 10 can be discharged from the filter hole 31, thereby reducing the probability of the glass slide 10 being stuck in the slide outlet hole 40 and then being crushed, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the automatic slide outlet function of the slide bin.

[0038] In one embodiment, the filter holes can be in various shapes such as rectangle, strip, circle, cone, etc. The filter holes can be randomly arranged on the placement block facing the opening, and can be arranged at the position with more debris according to the accumulation of debris. One or more filter holes can be set, and multiple filter holes can be arranged in various forms such as mesh, cross, etc.

[0039] In one embodiment, strip-shaped filter holes 31 are provided on the placement block 30 along the sliding direction of the glass slide 10. The strip-shaped filter holes 31 are arranged on the placement block 30, so that debris at any position along the sliding direction of the glass slide 10 can be discharged, preventing the debris from accumulating at a certain position of the placement block 30, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the glass slide bin.

[0040] In one embodiment, multiple filter holes 31 are arranged in parallel, and multiple parallel filter holes 31 provide a larger filter area, making the filtering process more efficient, and being able to discharge debris and impurities faster, while reducing the burden of a single filter hole 31 and reducing the risk of clogging of the filter hole 31. The multiple filter holes 31 are evenly spaced on the placement block 30, which helps to evenly disperse the pressure during the filtering process, reduce local stress concentration, and reduce the risk of clogging and damage of the filter hole 31.

[0041] In one embodiment, Figure 2 , 4As shown, the position on the upper surface of the placement block 30 where the filter hole 31 is not provided is raised to form a filter peak 32, and the glass slide 10 at the opening 21 is supported on the filter peak 32. The space between the filter peak 32 and the placement block 30 can be used to accommodate debris, which increases the space for accommodating debris, reduces the probability of debris lifting the glass slide 10, and reduces the probability of the sheet outlet hole 40 getting stuck. The height difference between the filter peak 32 and the placement block 30 can also guide the debris to be discharged toward the filter hole 31, improves the filtering efficiency, and ensures the cleanliness inside the equipment. The height difference between the upper surface of the filter peak 32 and the lower surface of the opening 21 is greater than / equal to the height of the glass slide 10, that is, the sheet outlet hole 40 is the gap between the upper surface of the filter peak 32 and the lower surface of the opening 21, and this height difference can ensure that the glass slide 10 supported on the filter peak 32 can slide out of the glass slide bin normally from the sheet outlet hole 40.

[0042] In one embodiment, the filtering peak may be one or more, and may be in various shapes such as rectangular, cylindrical, or irregular, and may be set at any position on the placement block.

[0043] In one embodiment, a strip-shaped filter peak 32 is formed along the length direction of the placement block 30. The strip-shaped filter peak 32 can effectively fix the position of the glass slide 10 to prevent it from sliding and dislocating on the placement block 30, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the automatic film output function. At the same time, it can disperse the pressure of the glass slide 10 on the filter peak 32 and evenly guide debris from various places to be discharged from the filter holes.

[0044] Furthermore, the extension direction of the strip-shaped filtering peak is the same as the direction in which the glass slide slides out of the sheet outlet hole, so that the glass slide can be stably supported on the filtering peak during the sliding process without being skewed, ensuring smooth sheet outlet of the glass slide.

[0045] In one embodiment, the width of the filter peak 32 gradually decreases in the direction away from the placement block 30. The gradually decreasing width design of the filter peak 32 can reduce the resistance to the movement of the glass slide 10 and debris. The debris can slide down along the side slope of the filter peak, making it easier to be discharged. The glass slide 10 can smoothly slide out of the sheet outlet 40, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0046] In one embodiment, the strip-shaped filtering peak 32 is located between two filtering holes 31 , which can more effectively guide the debris to be discharged along the filtering holes 31 , optimize the filtering path, reduce the accumulation of debris, and improve the filtering efficiency.

[0047] In one embodiment, a plurality of filter peaks 32 are arranged in parallel. The plurality of filter peaks 32 arranged in parallel can provide more filter paths, increase the overall filter area, and enable debris and impurities to be discharged more quickly and efficiently.

[0048] Furthermore, the positions and numbers of the filter peaks 32 and the filter holes 31 match, a plurality of filter peaks 32 are arranged in parallel, a plurality of filter holes 31 are arranged in parallel, and a filter hole 31 is arranged between each adjacent filter peak 32, so that debris at various places on the upper surface of the placement block 30 can be discharged smoothly.

[0049] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the side wall opening where the film outlet hole 40 is located forms an observation slot 41, and the observation slot 41 is adjacent to the film outlet hole 40. The observation slot 41 is convenient for manual or monitoring devices to monitor the number of glass slides 10 remaining at the bottom of the glass slide bin. When the number of glass slides 10 is low, an alarm can be issued in time to facilitate the staff to fill the slides in time and ensure the efficiency of medical work.
