[0054] As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the utility model provides a dyeing device, including: a dyeing tank assembly, a carrier support structure 3, a carrier drive mechanism 4,

[0055] The dyeing tank assembly includes a base 1 and a dyeing platform 2 arranged in the base 1, wherein the dyeing platform 2 is provided with at least one reagent output groove 21 and at least one liquid guide groove 22, wherein the reagent output groove 21 is provided with a reagent output hole 211; the reagent output groove 21 and the liquid guide groove 22 extend on the surface of the dyeing platform 2, the extending direction forms an angle with the moving direction of the carrier, and at least one end of the reagent output groove 21 and the liquid guide groove 22 extends to the edge of the dyeing platform 2;

[0056] The carrier supporting structure 3 is used to form a gap between the carrier and the surface of the dyeing platform 2, and the carrier driving mechanism 4 drives the carrier and the dyeing platform 2 to maintain the gap movement.

[0057] The present application first provides a dyeing device, including: a dyeing pool component, a carrier support structure 3, and a carrier drive mechanism 4. The dyeing pool component includes a base 1 and a dyeing platform 2 arranged in the base 1. The dyeing platform 2 is provided with at least one reagent output slot 21 and at least one liquid guide slot 22. The reagent output slot 21 is provided with a reagent output hole 211; the reagent output slot 21 and the liquid guide slot 22 extend on the surface of the dyeing platform 2, and the extension direction is at an angle with the moving direction of the carrier, and at least one end of the reagent output slot 21 and the liquid guide slot 22 extends to the edge of the dyeing platform 2; the carrier support structure 3 is used to form a gap between the carrier and the surface of the dyeing platform 2, and the carrier drive mechanism 4 drives the carrier and the dyeing platform 2 to maintain the gap movement. In the dyeing device provided by the present application, the reagent output slot 21 outputs the dyeing liquid and contacts the sample on the carrier; and the liquid guide slot 22 changes the flow direction of the reagent during the movement of the carrier, so that the contact between the reagent and the sample is more sufficient, and the partial area of ​​the carrier sample is prevented from not contacting the dyeing liquid, which leads to uneven dyeing, thereby improving the dyeing quality, and achieving sufficient dyeing in a shorter path or time, and the dyeing efficiency is higher.

[0058] The staining device provided in the present application has a staining platform 2 placed in a base 1, and a reagent output hole 211 of a reagent output slot 21 sprays out a staining liquid. The liquid level of the staining liquid protruding from the surface of the staining platform 2 is greater than the gap between the carrier and the staining platform 2. Due to the wetting effect of the liquid, the staining liquid is transferred to the carrier for staining, and at the same time, a portion of the staining liquid adheres to the carrier, and the excess staining liquid in the reagent output slot 21 flows into the base 1 for recovery. However, in this process, the position of the dyeing liquid on the carrier is random, and the dyeing effect is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, the reagent output slot 21 and the liquid guide slot 22 are set to extend on the surface of the dyeing platform 2, and the extension direction is at an angle with the moving direction of the carrier. In the process of carrier movement, whether it is when the reagent output slot 21 contacts the dyeing liquid or when passing through the liquid guide slot 22, the dyeing liquid is either blocked by the liquid guide slot and flows to the area of ​​the carrier without the dyeing slot blocking, or the dyeing liquid flows into the liquid guide slot, and the dyeing liquid is guided to the area corresponding to the carrier along the extension direction of the liquid guide slot, so that the extension of the carrier surface and the moving direction of the carrier at a certain angle (the above two effects are collectively referred to as guiding effects in this application) is more conducive to the full contact of the dyeing liquid with each area of ​​the carrier sample. In order to facilitate the movement and dyeing of the carrier, the length direction of the dyeing platform 2 is usually the moving direction of the carrier, and the width direction of the dyeing platform 2 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrier. When it is set in this way, when the reagent output slot 21 and the liquid guide slot 22 are at an angle of 90° with the moving direction of the carrier, the two slots extend along the width direction of the dyeing platform 2.

[0059] The carrier forms a gap with the surface of the dyeing platform 2 by the carrier support structure 3. The carrier support structure 3 can be arranged on the base 1 or the dyeing platform 2, for example, a structure known in the art such as a laterally arranged support protrusion can be used. The carrier driving mechanism 4 is used to achieve the gap movement between the carrier and the dyeing platform 2.

[0060] Preferably, the dyeing platform 2 is provided with a plurality of liquid-conducting grooves 22 , and adjacent liquid-conducting grooves 22 are parallel or at an angle to each other.

[0061] Preferably, the dyeing platform 2 is provided with a plurality of liquid guiding grooves 22 to guide the extension of the dyeing liquid on the carrier surface for multiple times. When a plurality of liquid guiding grooves 22 are provided, adjacent liquid guiding grooves 22 can be parallel to each other or at an angle to each other.

[0062] Preferably, only one end extends into the liquid guiding groove 22 at the edge of the dyeing platform 2 , and at least two adjacent liquid guiding grooves 22 extend to opposite edges of the dyeing platform 2 .

[0063] The liquid guiding groove 22 may have two ends extending to the two edges of the dyeing platform 2, or only one end extending to one edge of the dyeing platform 2. Among the liquid guiding grooves 22 with only one end extending to the edge of the dyeing platform 2, at least two adjacent liquid guiding grooves 22 extend to the opposite edges of the dyeing platform 2. Then, when the carrier moves, the dyeing liquid will be guided in at least two different directions, and the dyeing will be more uniform. The other liquid guiding grooves 22 may have only one end extending to the edge, or both ends extending to the edge.

[0064] For example, four liquid guiding grooves 22 are provided, the first and second liquid guiding grooves 22 extend in opposite directions, and the third and fourth liquid guiding grooves 22 may have one end extending to one end of the dyeing platform 2, or both ends extending to the two edges respectively.

[0065] More preferably, all the liquid guiding grooves 22 extend to one end of the dyeing platform 2 at only one end, and every two adjacent liquid guiding grooves 22 extend to opposite edges of the dyeing platform 2 respectively, so that the guiding direction of the dyeing liquid is continuously switched during the movement of the carrier, and the dyeing effect is better.

[0066] Preferably, the other end of the liquid guiding groove 22 is located in the middle of the dyeing platform 2 .

[0067] When only one end of the liquid guiding groove 22 extends to the edge of the staining platform 2, one way is to place the other end of the liquid guiding groove 22 in the middle of the staining platform 2. In the commonly used carriers in the art, the sample area is located in the middle of the carrier, and the staining liquid is guided from the middle to the periphery to evenly infiltrate the sample.

[0068] The middle here does not refer to the midpoint in the strict sense, but rather a certain area around the midpoint.

[0069] Preferably, the sum of the lengths of the two liquid-conducting grooves 22 extending to opposite edges is greater than or equal to the side length of the dyeing platform 2 perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrier.

[0070] In another way, the sum of the lengths of the two liquid guiding grooves 22 extending to opposite edges can be set to be greater than or equal to the side length of the dyeing platform 2 perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrier. Then, when the carrier passes through the two liquid guiding grooves 22, the guiding paths of the dye liquid partially overlap, and the dye liquid is more fully guided.

[0071] Preferably, the staining platform 2 is provided with a plurality of reagent output slots 21 , wherein two ends of at least one reagent output slot 21 extend to two edges of the staining platform respectively.

[0072] Preferably, the dyeing platform 2 is provided with a plurality of reagent output slots 21, and the two ends of at least one of the reagent output slots 21 extend to the two edges of the dyeing platform respectively, so that the dyeing liquid is directed to two directions when the reagent is output. More preferably, the reagent output slot 21 located at the most upstream of the dyeing platform 2 and the first contact of the carrier has two ends extending to the two edges of the dyeing platform respectively. Other reagent output slots are flexibly arranged as needed.

[0073] Preferably, from upstream to downstream, at least one of the second to last reagent output tanks 21 is used for replenishing the dye solution.

[0074] According to the different needs of the test items, the staining of the sample on the carrier can be carried out by different methods such as Gram staining, fluorescent staining, and Wright staining, which may include primary staining and secondary staining. Therefore, it is preferred that at least one of the multiple reagent output slots 21 is used to replenish the dye solution for secondary staining. The role of replenishment is to supply the dye solution that has been output and contacted with the sample before. Therefore, according to the movement of the carrier from upstream to downstream, the reagent output slot 21 used for replenishment cannot be the first one, but can be any one or more from the second to the last one.

[0075] The reagent output trough 21 for replenishing the dye solution may have both ends extending to the two edges of the dyeing platform respectively, or may have only one end extending to the edge of the dyeing platform.

[0076] Compared with the structures of other reagent output tanks, the reagent output tank 21 for replenishing the dye solution does not need to be changed in structure, and only needs to be connected to the output pipe of the target dye solution.

[0077] Preferably, the reagent output hole 211 is located in the middle of the staining platform 2 .

[0078] Preferably, the reagent output hole 211 is located in the middle of the staining platform 2. Whether the two ends of the reagent output slot 21 extend to the two edges of the staining platform respectively, or only one end of the reagent output slot 21 extends to the edge of the staining platform 2, the reagent output hole 211 is located in the middle of the staining platform 2, so that the position of the reagent output can correspond to the center of the sample area of ​​the carrier.

[0079] Preferably, a plurality of the reagent output slots 21 and the liquid conducting slots 22 are provided, respectively, and the reagent output slots 21 and the liquid conducting slots 22 are arranged at intervals along the moving direction of the carrier.

[0080] Preferably, a plurality of reagent output grooves 21 and a plurality of liquid conducting grooves 22 are provided, and the reagent output grooves 21 and the liquid conducting grooves 22 are arranged at intervals along the moving direction of the carrier.

[0081] The number of reagent output slots 21 and liquid guiding slots 22 may be equal or unequal. One liquid guiding slot 22 may be arranged between two reagent output slots 21 or multiple liquid guiding slots 22. Similarly, one reagent output slot 21 may be arranged between two liquid guiding slots 22 or multiple reagent output slots 21.

[0082] Preferably, the extending direction of the reagent output groove 21 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrier, and the liquid guiding groove 22 and the reagent output groove 21 are parallel to each other.

[0083] The reagent output groove 21 and the liquid guide groove 22 extend on the surface of the staining platform 2, and the extension direction forms an angle with the carrier moving direction, which means that the two are not parallel, and the angle can be any angle, greater than 0° and less than 180°. However, setting it to 30-120° (more preferably 45-90°) has a better guiding effect on the staining liquid.

[0084] Preferably, the extending direction of the reagent output groove 21 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrier, the liquid guiding groove 22 is parallel to the reagent output groove 21 (ie, also perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrier), and all the grooves are parallel and perpendicular to the extending direction of the carrier.

[0085] Preferably, the dyeing platform 2 is detachably connected to the base 1 .

[0086] The dyeing platform 2 and the base 1 can be integrally formed, or can be processed separately and disassembled and connected.

[0087] Preferably, the dyeing tank assembly further includes at least one cleaning component 5 and a drying structure 6 , and the cleaning component 5 is arranged between the dyeing platform 2 and the drying structure 6 .

[0088] The order of dyeing operation in this field is that the carrier is first dyed with a dye solution (which may include multiple dye solutions depending on the project, and may or may not be washed in between), washed after dyeing is completed, and then dried.

[0089] Therefore, the staining platform preferably also includes at least one cleaning component 5 and a drying structure 6. The cleaning component 5 is arranged between the staining platform 2 and the drying structure 6. The sample on the carrier is stained, cleaned and dried in sequence to obtain a staining carrier that meets the detection requirements, with a higher degree of automation and work efficiency.

[0090] In the present application, the number of cleaning components 5 can be one, two or more, and can be flexibly set according to the difficulty and needs of cleaning.

[0091] Preferably, the cleaning component 5 is provided with a liquid outlet 51 , and the liquid outlet 51 is arranged to spray the cleaning liquid obliquely relative to the surface of the dyeing platform 2 .

[0092] Preferably, the cleaning component 5 is provided with a liquid outlet 51, and the liquid outlet 51 is arranged to spray the cleaning liquid obliquely relative to the surface of the dyeing platform 2. The cleaning liquid will be sprayed obliquely and fall on the dyed carrier, with a wider contact area and a better cleaning effect.

[0094] It is further preferred that the cleaning component 5 includes a base 52 and a cleaning liquid output structure 53 disposed on the base 52. The cleaning liquid output structure 53 has a chamber for the cleaning liquid to flow therein. The output surface of the cleaning liquid output structure 53 is arranged obliquely to the surface of the dyeing platform, and the liquid outlet hole 51 is arranged on the output surface. The base 52 facilitates the installation of the cleaning component 5. The cleaning liquid output structure 53 allows the cleaning liquid transmitted from the internal chamber to flow and is sprayed obliquely from the liquid outlet hole 51 arranged on the output surface.

[0095] Here, the term "inclined" means that the liquid outlet 51 has an angle greater than 0° with both the horizontal plane and the vertical plane. When the output surface is inclined, the liquid outlet 51 can be formed by vertically punching the output surface. When other structures are used, the liquid outlet 51 can be formed by punching the surface obliquely to the plane.

[0096] The connection port between the chamber of the cleaning liquid output structure 53 and the outside can be located at any position such as the bottom or side of the base 52, so as to hide the pipeline. The cleaning liquid can flow and spray out through the power of the pump.

[0097] Preferably, the output surface is provided with a plurality of liquid outlet holes 11, and the cleaning liquid is sprayed at different positions, so as to fully clean the carrier. According to different needs, the liquid outlet holes 11 can be arranged in a single row, or in multiple rows and columns. The number of liquid outlet holes 11 can be 2-20, preferably 2-15, and more preferably 2-10.

[0100] Preferably, the wiping component 62 includes a plurality of wiping protrusions 621 ; along the moving path of the carrier, the wiping protrusions 621 are arranged at intervals from each other.

[0101] Along the moving path of the carrier, the wiper protrusions 621 are arranged at intervals from each other.

[0102] Preferably, the wiper component 62 used in the present application includes a plurality of wiper protrusions 621, each of which will contact the surface of the carrier and gently scrape off the surface water when the carrier passes by. During the movement of the carrier, the carrier continuously contacts the plurality of wiper protrusions 621, and the drying effect is better, and the interval arrangement facilitates the timely discharge of the scraped water.

[0103] Preferably, the drying component 61 includes an air guide tube 611, a fan 612 and a heating element;

[0108] Preferably, it also includes a waterproof cover, which at least covers the area above the cleaning component 5.
