The conveying buffer mechanism 101 includes an empty basket input flat belt 104, an empty basket loading area 105, a full basket unloading area 106, a full basket output flat belt 107, a glass slide basket signal reader 108, an empty glass slide basket placement area 109, and a full glass slide basket waiting area 11 0, a glass slide basket sensing optical coupler 111, a glass slide basket one by one release card 112 and a conveying motor 113, the cross transfer mechanism 102 includes an X-axis guide rail 114, a Y-axis guide rail 115, a U-shaped frame 116, a glass slide detection optical coupler 117 and an XY axis origin inspection optical coupler 118, an X-axis drive motor 119, a Y-axis drive motor 120 and a glass slide loading area 121, and the circulation mechanism 103 includes a guide rail 122, a push rod 123, an origin detection optical coupler 124, a circulation standby optical coupler 125 and a control motor 126.

[0025] In this embodiment, the utility model provides the conveying and caching mechanism 101, the cross transfer mechanism 102 and the circulation mechanism 103, thereby realizing the input, caching, reading of the slide basket number, releasing of the slide baskets one by one, loading of slides, detection of the presence or absence of slides, output, caching of full slide baskets and circulation of the empty slide basket, thereby solving the technical problem that the existing fully automatic slide push staining machine has complex operation techniques for inputting, caching, loading slides, outputting and caching of empty slide baskets, and thus cannot meet the use requirements of slides well.

[0026] Among them, the empty basket input flat belt 104, the empty basket loading area 105, the full basket unloading area 106 and the full basket output flat belt 107 are used to realize the in and out transmission of the glass slide basket, the glass slide basket signal reader 108 is used to read the signal of the glass slide basket, the X-axis guide rail 114 and the Y-axis guide rail 115 are used to realize the running guidance of the U-shaped frame 116 on the X-axis and the Y-axis, the U-shaped frame 116 is used to pick up the glass slide basket, the glass slide detection optical coupler 117 is used to detect the presence or absence of the glass slide, the XY axis origin inspection optical coupler 118 is used to detect the standby position, the push rod 123 is used to push the glass slide basket, the origin detection optical coupler 124 is used to detect the standby position, the cycle standby optical coupler 125 is used to detect the cycle standby state, and the U-shaped frame 116 is a glass slide basket picking frame.

[0027] Secondly, the empty glass slide basket placement area 109 is used to place empty glass slide baskets; the full glass slide basket waiting area 110 is used to place full glass slide baskets.

[0028] Again, the glass slide basket sensing optical coupler 111 is used to detect the presence or absence of the glass slide basket; the glass slide basket one-by-one release card 112 is used to realize the one-by-one release of the glass slide basket, and the glass slide basket one-by-one release card 112 includes a front tenon 127, a rotating shaft 128, a rear tenon 129, a U-shaped rocker arm 130 and an electromagnet 131.

[0029] At the same time, the conveying motor 113 is used to drive the empty basket input flat belt 104 and the full basket output flat belt 107 to move, and the conveying motor 113 is a screw motor.

[0030] In addition, the X-axis drive motor 119 is used to drive the U-shaped frame 116 to move along the X-axis; the Y-axis drive motor 120 is used to drive the U-shaped frame 116 to move along the Y-axis, and the slide loading area 121 is used to place the U-shaped frame 116 to load slides.

During the transport process, the glass slide basket sensing optical coupler 111 will detect the presence of the glass slide basket. When the glass slide basket sensing optical coupler 111 detects the presence of the glass slide basket, the glass slide basket is transported through the glass slide basket sensing optical coupler 111. The basket signal reader 108 reads the signal of the glass slide basket in real time. When the empty glass slide basket is transferred to the empty basket loading area 105, the glass slide basket signal reader 108 reads the signal of the glass slide basket. At this time, the empty glass slide basket is waiting in the empty basket loading area 105.

After picking up the empty glass slide basket, the U-shaped frame 116 is moved to the glass slide loading area 121 to load the glass slides. After the glass slides are loaded, the glass slide detection optical coupler 117 is used to detect the presence or absence of the glass slides. When it is detected that the glass slide basket is fully loaded, the push rod 123 is used to push the glass slide basket to move until the full glass slide basket is loaded. The full slide basket is moved to the full basket unloading area 106. After the full slide basket is moved to the full basket unloading area 106, the full slide basket is unloaded. After unloading, the full slide basket is transferred to the full slide basket waiting area 110 by the movement of the full basket output flat belt 107, so that the staff can directly take out the slides in the full slide basket to complete the entire storage and transportation process of the slide basket. When it is detected that the slides in the slide basket are in an empty state, the empty slide basket will be pushed from the full slide basket waiting area 110 to the empty slide basket placement area 109 to facilitate the circulation operation of the slide basket.

[0033] During the entire storage and transportation process, the empty basket input flat belt 104, the empty basket loading area 105, the full basket unloading area 106 and the full basket output flat belt 107 are used to realize the in and out transmission of the glass slide basket, the glass slide basket signal reader 108 is used to read the signal of the glass slide basket, the empty glass slide basket placement area 109 is used to place the empty glass slide basket; the full glass slide basket waiting area 110 is used to place the full glass slide basket, and the glass slide basket induction optical coupler 111 is used to detect the presence or absence of the glass slide basket; the glass slide basket release card 112 is used to realize the release of the glass slide basket one by one, the conveying motor 113 is used to drive the empty basket input flat belt 104 and the full basket output flat belt 107 to move, and the X-axis guide rail 114 and the Y-axis guide rail 115 are used to realize the The U-shaped frame 116 is a running guide on the X-axis and the Y-axis. The U-shaped frame 116 is used to pick up the glass slide basket. The glass slide detection optical coupler 117 is used to detect the presence of the glass slide. The XY axis origin check optical coupler 118 is used to detect the standby position. The X-axis drive motor 119 is used to drive the U-shaped frame 116 to move along the X-axis. The Y-axis drive motor 120 is used to drive the U-shaped frame 116 to move along the Y-axis. The glass slide loading area 121 is used to place the U-shaped frame 116 to load the glass slide. The push rod 123 is used to push the glass slide basket. The origin detection optical coupler 124 is used to detect the standby position.
