Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a handling device and a slide staining device. Background Art
[0002] As an indispensable tool in microscopic observation, slides are widely used in many fields such as biology, medicine, and materials science. During the use of slides, especially during operations such as staining and handling, the protection of slides is crucial.
[0003] In the prior art, the clamping of slides can be completed by directly pressing the clamping end of the clamping jaw against the side of the slide, and then the corresponding driving structure is used to drive the clamping part to move, so as to drive the slide to flow between various processes in the staining operation.
[0004] However, in this operation process, only one slide can be driven for the staining operation each time. After the staining of one slide is completed, the next slide can be clamped. Its operation efficiency is low, and the clamping part is likely to wear the slide during clamping. This kind of wear may not only affect the surface finish of the slide, thereby affecting the microscopic observation effect, but also damage the sample on the slide, resulting in the distortion of experimental data. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a handling device and a slide staining device, which solve the problems of low staining efficiency of slides and easy wear of the slide by the clamping part in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve this purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A mounting frame, the mounting frame is provided with at least two groups of handling mechanisms, and at least two groups of the handling mechanisms operate alternately to complete the handling of a group of slides in the staining operation;
[0009] The handling mechanism includes:

[0038] Advantages of the utility model:
[0039] In the first aspect, when conveying the slide, first, the clamping part acts, and the slide is clamped by the protection component to protect the information recorded on the slide and reduce the possibility of clamping damage to the slide.

This group of conveying mechanisms is reset to clamp the next slide, and the next group of conveying mechanisms clamp the slide from the first cleaning tank and convey the slide through the second staining device, the second cleaning device, and the drying device in sequence, and convey the dried slide to the slide basket for storage. In this way, during the use of the staining equipment, through the alternating operation of multiple conveying mechanisms, the conveying of multiple slides can be sequentially and orderly completed, reducing the waiting time required for the slides, and effectively improving the running efficiency of the slides.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0053] An embodiment of the present utility model discloses a handling device and a slide staining device.
[0054] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the handling device includes a mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 is provided with at least two groups of handling mechanisms 10, and at least two groups of handling mechanisms 10 operate alternately to complete the handling of a set of slides 20 during the staining operation; the handling mechanism 10 includes a clamping part 2, a protection component 3, and a driving component 4. The protection component 3 is arranged at the clamping end of the clamping part 2 and is used for clamping the slide 20; the clamping part 2 is arranged on the driving component 4, and the driving component 4 is used to drive the clamping part 2 to move so that the slide 20 can be transferred during the staining operation.
[0055] Specifically, the mounting bracket 1 can be in a plate-like structure or a frame-like structure, and it can be designed according to each process of the staining treatment of the glass slide 20. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 is in a long strip plate-like structure. A plurality of handling mechanisms 10 can be spaced apart and distributed on the mounting bracket 1, and the positions of the plurality of handling mechanisms 10 are arranged according to the positions of each process. In this embodiment, a plurality of handling mechanisms 10 are distributed along the length direction of the mounting bracket 1. The two handling mechanisms 10 located at the edge positions in the length direction of the mounting bracket 1 can respectively have the functions of loading and unloading, or loading and unloading manipulators can be separately provided to realize the loading and unloading of the glass slide 20. The specific number of the handling mechanisms 10 is designed according to the process of the staining operation. In this embodiment, two handling mechanisms 10 are spaced apart and distributed.
[0056] The structures of the plurality of handling mechanisms 10 are the same, that is, they all include a clamping part 2, a protection component 3, and a driving component 4. However, the shape of the handling mechanism 10 can be adjusted according to the actual installation space as long as it can meet the installation and handling requirements. The clamping part 2 can be a pneumatic gripper or an electric gripper, and can be specifically selected according to the actual clamping requirements. In this embodiment, the clamping part 2 is a pneumatic gripper. The protection component 3 can be fixed at the clamping end of the clamping part 2, and its shape can be designed according to the shape of the glass slide 20 to ensure that the protection component 3 can just clamp the part of the glass slide 20 where information is recorded. The driving component 4 can be designed according to the actual handling process, and it can drive the clamping part 2 to move in multiple directions by setting a plurality of driving modules to drive the glass slide 20 to flow between each staining operation process. In this embodiment, the driving component 4 can drive the clamping part 2 to move in three directions, and two of the three directions are perpendicular to each other.
[0057] When the glass slide 20 is transported, the gripping part 2 is first operated to grip the glass slide 20 through the protection component 3 to protect the information recorded on the glass slide 20 and reduce the possibility of damaging the glass slide 20 by gripping. After the glass slide 20 is gripped, the driving component 4 drives the gripping part 2 to move, thereby driving the glass slide 20 to move to the corresponding process for processing. After the process is completed, the glass slide 20 is gripped and transported by the gripping part 2 of another transport mechanism 10 through the protection component 3, and all processes are completed in sequence. In this way, when the transport device is in use, a group of transport mechanisms 10 can first transport the glass slide 20 and complete the corresponding process, and then other transport mechanisms 10 can continue to transport the glass slide 20 to complete other processes and complete unloading. When the glass slide 20 enters other processes, the transport mechanism 10 that is not clamping the glass slide 20 can be reset to continue clamping a new glass slide 20, so that multiple glass slides 20 can be stained one after another, effectively reducing the waiting time required for adjacent glass slides 20 during the staining operation, effectively improving the operating efficiency, and during the clamping process of the glass slide 20, the glass slide 20 can also be effectively protected by the protection component 3, reducing the possibility of wear of the glass slide 20 caused by clamping, thereby ensuring the integrity of the sample and improving the accuracy of the test data.
[0058] Reference Figure 3 Optionally, the protection component 3 includes two clamping fingers 31 arranged opposite to each other. The clamping fingers 31 are fixedly connected to the clamping end of the clamping part 2, and the opposite sides of the two clamping fingers 31 are provided with protection pads 32 abutting against the slide glass 20. A plurality of protection pads 32 are distributed at intervals on each clamping finger 31. The protection pads 32 are made of rubber material.
[0059] Specifically, the clamping finger 31 can be in a plate-like structure so as to be compatible with the sheet-like glass slide 20. The clamping finger 31 includes a clamping plate 311 and a connecting block 312, and the connecting block 312 is fixed on the top wall of the clamping plate 311, and the two can be in an integrated structure. The connecting block 312 is fixedly connected to the clamping end of the clamping portion 2, and the fixed connection method can be a detachable connection such as a bolt connection or a clamping connection, and can also be a non-detachable connection such as welding or bonding. An installation groove is provided on the opposite sides of the two clamping plates 311, and the protective pad 32 is embedded in the installation groove, and the protective pad 32 can be fixed in the installation groove by bonding.
[0060] The side of the protection pad 32 can protrude a mounting groove for pressing against the side of the glass slide 20. The protection pad 32 can be provided with only one, or two or more, and can be provided according to the actual size, as long as it can effectively protect the glass slide 20. The protection pad 32 is made of rubber material. It should be understood that the protection pad 32 can also be made of other materials that can meet the protection requirements, and is not limited to the rubber material mentioned above.
[0061] By providing a protective pad 32 on the side of the clamping finger 31, when clamping the glass slide 20, the protective pad 32 is pressed against the surface of the glass slide 20, thereby clamping the glass slide 20, and the characteristics of the protective pad 32 itself play a protective role for the glass slide 20, effectively reducing the possibility of wearing the glass slide 20 during the clamping process.
[0062] Referring to Figures 2 to 4 , optionally, the driving assembly 4 includes a lifting frame 41, a lifting driving member 42, and a horizontal movement module. The clamping portion 2 is slidably connected to the lifting frame 41; the lifting driving member 42 is disposed on the lifting frame 41 and connected to the clamping portion 2 to drive the clamping portion 2 to lift; the horizontal movement module is disposed on the mounting frame 1 and connected to the lifting frame 41 to drive the lifting frame 41 to move in the horizontal direction.
[0063] Specifically, the lifting frame 41 is formed by splicing a plurality of plate-like structures, the lifting frame 41 extends in the vertical direction, and the lifting driving member 42 is fixed in the lifting frame 41 by fasteners such as screws. A lifting guide rail 43 is fixedly installed in the lifting frame 41, the lifting guide rail 43 extends in the vertical direction, the clamping portion 2 is fixedly connected to the lifting fixing plate 44, and the lifting fixing plate 44 is slidably connected to the lifting guide rail 43 through a slider. The lifting driving member 42 is connected to the lifting fixing plate 44. The lifting driving member 42 can be a cylinder or an electric cylinder, etc., or a motor, and the motor is combined with a belt drive, a chain drive, a gear drive or other structures to realize the connection with the lifting fixing plate 44.
[0064] A reset plate 45 and a detection plate 46 can also be provided in the lifting frame 41. A reset sensor 451 is provided on the reset plate 45, and a detection sensor 461 is provided on the detection plate 46. Both sensors can be optocoupler sensors or other types of sensors, as long as they can detect the glass slide 20. The detection plate 46 is disposed at the lowest end of the lifting frame 41, and the reset plate 45 is disposed at the topmost position that the glass slide 20 can reach during the lifting process.
[0065] The horizontal movement module is fixed on the mounting frame 1, and it can drive the entire lifting frame 41 to translate in the horizontal plane. The translation direction can be a single direction or multiple directions. In this embodiment, the horizontal movement module can drive the lifting frame 41 to move in two mutually perpendicular directions.
[0066] When clamping the slide 20, first drive the clamping part 2 close to the slide 20 through the lifting drive member 42. After clamping the slide 20, the lifting drive member 42 can drive the clamping part 2 to move upward. The detection sensor 461 can detect whether the clamping part 2 has clamped the slide 20. When it is detected that the slide 20 is clamped, the lifting drive member 42 can drive the clamping part 2 to rise. When the reset sensor 451 detects the position of the slide 20, the lifting drive member 42 runs in the reverse direction to drive the slide 20 to reset, and this is repeated to sequentially place the slide 20 into the corresponding processes for staining treatment. When translation is required, the horizontal movement module is used to drive the lifting frame 41 to move, so as to move the slide 20 to other processes.
[0067] Referring to Figure 1 、Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 Optionally, the horizontal movement module includes a moving seat 47, a first drive member 48 and a second drive member 49. The moving seat 47 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 1 along the first direction Y; the first drive member 48 is connected to the moving seat 47 to drive the moving seat 47 to slide along the first direction Y; the second drive member 49 is disposed on the moving seat 47, and the lifting frame 41 is slidably connected to the moving seat 47 and connected to the second drive member 49. The second drive member 49 drives the lifting frame 41 to move along the second direction X; wherein, the first direction Y intersects the second direction X.
[0068] Specifically, a first guide rail 11 is provided on the mounting frame 1. The first guide rail 11 extends along the first direction Y, and the first direction Y is the length direction of the mounting frame 1 in this embodiment. The moving seat 47 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 11 through a slider. Two first guide rails 11 can be distributed at intervals along the width direction of the mounting frame 1 to ensure the stability of the moving seat 47 during movement. The first drive member 48 can be disposed on the mounting frame 1 and connected to the moving seat 47 through a transmission structure to drive the moving seat 47 to slide; the first drive member 48 can also be disposed on the moving seat 47 and form friction with the mounting frame 1 through a transmission structure to drive the moving seat 47 to move.
[0069] The first drive member 48 can be a motor, which transmits power through a belt drive or a chain drive structure. The first drive member 48 can also be a cylinder or an electric cylinder and other structures, and can be specifically designed according to the actual installation space and transmission requirements. In this embodiment, since the moving distance of the moving seat 47 in the first direction Y is relatively long, the first drive member 48 is preferably a motor and is disposed on the mounting frame 1, and the transmission structure is preferably a belt drive.
[0070] A second guide rail 471 is laid on the moving seat 47 and extends in the second direction X, which is the width direction of the mounting bracket 1 in this embodiment. The lifting frame 41 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 471 through a slider. The type of the second driving member 49 and the connection manner between the second driving member 49 and the lifting frame 41 can both refer to the first driving member 48, and the present utility model will not elaborate herein.
[0071] By providing the first driving member 48 and the second driving member 49, when it is necessary to drive the lifting frame 41 to move along the length direction of the mounting bracket 1, the first driving member 48 is activated to drive the moving seat 47 to slide along the first guide rail 11. When it is necessary to drive the lifting frame 41 to move along the width direction of the mounting bracket 1, the second driving member 49 is activated to drive the lifting frame 41 to slide along the second guide rail 471, so that the glass slide 20 can be smoothly driven to translate in the plane.
[0072] Refer to Figures 4 to 6 , optionally, power is transmitted between the lifting driving member 42 and the clamping portion 2, between the first driving member 48 and the moving seat 47, and between the second driving member 49 and the lifting frame 41 through a belt transmission module.
[0073] Specifically, the lifting driving member 42, the first driving member 48, and the second driving member 49 all adopt servo motors. A lifting belt transmission module 421 is provided on the lifting frame 41, a first belt transmission module 481 is provided on the mounting bracket 1, and a second belt transmission module 491 is provided on the moving seat 47. Driving by a belt can meet the requirements of long-distance driving, and can also achieve docking at any position. Moreover, the structure of belt transmission is simple, the cost is low, and it is convenient for later maintenance, so that the production difficulty and production cost of the handling device can be reduced as a whole. It should be understood that in other embodiments,
[0074] Taking the lifting belt drive module 421 as an example, the lifting belt drive module 421 includes two relatively arranged belt pulleys 4211. The belt pulleys 4211 are rotatably connected to the lifting frame 41. The lifting drive member 42 is connected to one of the belt pulleys 4211 to drive the belt pulley 4211 to rotate. A drive belt 4212 is sleeved on the two belt pulleys 4211. The drive belt 4212 can be a synchronous belt. A connecting strip 4213 is fixedly connected to the drive belt 4212. One end of the connecting strip 4213 away from the drive belt 4212 is fixedly connected to the lifting fixed plate 44 through fasteners such as screws. The lifting belt drive module 421 further includes a belt pressing plate 4214. The belt pressing plate 4214 presses on the drive belt 4212 to ensure that the drive belt 4212 remains in a tensioned state. The structures of the first belt drive module 481 and the second belt drive module 491 are the same as that of the lifting belt drive module 421. The three only differ in the extension direction and size. The structure of the second belt drive module 491 and the first belt drive module 481 will not be elaborated here.
[0075] Optionally, the handling device further includes a protective plate 5. The protective plate 5 covers the mounting frame 1 and covers the handling mechanism 10.
[0076] Specifically, the protective plate 5 is provided on the mounting frame 1. The protective plate 5 can cover the first guide rail 11 and the moving seat 47, so as to achieve the effect of covering multiple handling mechanisms 10. By providing the protective plate 5, not only can the dust in the air and the like adhering to the handling mechanism 10 be reduced, but also large particulate objects can be prevented from falling on the handling mechanism 10, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the handling mechanism 10.
[0077] Optionally, the handling device further includes a detection component. The detection component is used to detect the operating states of multiple handling mechanisms 10.
[0078] Specifically, the moving seat 47 includes a moving fixing plate 472 and a mounting plate 473. The moving fixing plate 472 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 11 through a slider. The mounting plate 473 is fixed on the moving fixing plate 472, and the second belt drive module 491 is arranged on the side of the mounting plate 473. The detection assembly includes a first detector 6 and a second detector 7. The first detector 6 is fixed on the moving fixing plate 472 through a first detection plate 61. A first induction part 8 is arranged on the mounting frame 1. The first induction part 8 extends along the length direction of the mounting frame 1, and the first induction part 8 can be correspondingly arranged with the first detector 6. The first detector 6 can cooperate with the first induction part 8 to generate a detection signal. The second detector 7 is fixed on the mounting plate 473 through a second detection plate 71. A second induction part is arranged on the lifting fixing plate 44. The second induction part can correspond to the second detector 7 to trigger the second detector 7 to generate a corresponding position signal. Both the first detector 6 and the second detector 7 can adopt optocoupler sensors or other sensors that meet the detection requirements.
[0079] By arranging the detection assembly, during the transportation process of the glass slide 20, the first detector 6 and the second detector 7 can correspond to the corresponding induction structures to determine the operating state of each transportation mechanism 10. According to the operating state, the control system can generate corresponding control instructions to control the alternating operation of multiple transportation mechanisms 10, automatically complete the transportation of a group of glass slides 20. This can not only further improve the overall automation process, but also accurately grasp the processing progress of the glass slide 20 through position inspection, so as to improve the control accuracy of the staining process and effectively improve the staining quality.
[0080] The glass slide staining device includes a first staining device, a first cleaning device, a second staining device, a second cleaning device, a drying device, and the transportation device in the above embodiment. The transportation device sequentially transports the glass slides 20 containing samples to the first staining device, the first cleaning device, the second staining device, the second cleaning device, and the drying device for processing.
[0081] Specifically, a first cleaning device is arranged between the first staining device and the second staining device, and a second cleaning device is arranged between the second staining device and the drying device. Both the first staining device and the second staining device have multiple staining tanks, and each staining tank corresponds to a staining process. In this embodiment, the first staining device includes three staining tanks, and the second staining device includes two staining tanks.
[0082] When the slide 20 is stained, the slide 20 is directly inserted into the first staining tank of the first staining device through a transfer manipulator for processing. A set of handling mechanisms 10 of the handling device clamp the slide 20 and transport the slide 20 through the other two staining tanks of the first staining device and the first cleaning device in sequence. This set of handling mechanisms 10 resets to clamp the next slide 20. The next set of handling mechanisms 10 clamps the slide 20 from the first cleaning tank and transports the slide 20 through the second staining device, the second cleaning device, and the drying device in sequence, and transports the dried slide 20 to the slide basket for storage. In this way, during the use of the staining device, through the alternating operation of multiple handling mechanisms 10, the handling of multiple slides 20 can be completed in an orderly manner in sequence, reducing the waiting time required for the slides 20 and effectively improving the operation efficiency of the slides 20.
[0083] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are only examples for clearly explaining the present invention, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present invention.
