Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dyeing equipment, in particular to a loading and unloading mechanism for a dyeing machine. Background Art

[0002] In biological research or medical fields, in order to better observe the morphology and structure of cells, biological sections are usually performed and placed on a slide for observation under a microscope.

[0003] In order to better transmit light for observation, biological sections are usually required to be thinner, which makes the natural pigments and cells almost colorless and transparent, which is not conducive to observation. It is usually necessary to use a staining machine to stain the cell walls and organelles with suitable dyes to achieve different color depths in different parts, which is more conducive to observation.

[0004] The dyeing machine usually uses a feeding mechanism and a transfer mechanism to load materials. The transfer mechanism transfers the slides from the feeding mechanism to the processing carrier, making it convenient and accurate to dye the slides.

Due to the use of suction cups to pick up materials, in order to ensure that the glass slides do not interfere with each other and to ensure the size of the material transfer mechanism, the number of glass slides loaded is limited, resulting in the loading process being inefficient and unable to meet user needs, which is not conducive to improving product competitiveness.

[0025] Through the way of tray loading, cooperating with the tray transfer mechanism can effectively realize directly carrying the tray. Multiple slide glass workstations are arranged in the tray, and slide glasses are arranged in the slide glass workstations, which effectively replaces the traditional method of separately carrying the slide glasses and then transferring the slide glasses to the processing carrier. In this scheme, the processing carrier is replaced by a tray, which becomes a movable carrier for direct carrying. And tray loading can effectively increase the quantity of the carried materials, carry more materials at one time, improve the user experience and the carrying efficiency.

[0026] And through the setting of the material taking clearance part, the tray can be efficiently taken out from the tray bearing frame 2 for material transportation.

[0027] The bearing part is placing bosses 201 arranged on both sides of the tray bearing frame 2. Limiting baffles are arranged on the sides of the placing bosses 201, and the material taking clearance part is arranged between the two placing bosses 201.

The X-axis drive module is fixedly connected to the moving end of the Z-axis drive module, and the Z-axis drive module can drive the X-axis drive module to move up and down.

[0034] Through the arrangement of the Z-axis drive module, the material supporting plate 3 can be effectively driven to move up and down. Through the design of the X-axis drive module, the material supporting plate 3 can be driven to move linearly in the X-axis direction, improving the flexibility of the movement of the material supporting plate 3.

[0035] The Z-axis drive module includes a material transfer Z-axis drive motor 51, a material transfer Z-axis pulley 52, and a material transfer Z-axis drive lead screw 53. The moving end of the material transfer Z-axis drive motor 51 and the material transfer Z-axis drive lead screw 53 are respectively connected to both ends of the material transfer Z-axis pulley 52. The material transfer Z-axis drive motor 51 can drive the material transfer Z-axis drive lead screw 53 to rotate.

[0036] Through the cooperation of the material transfer Z-axis drive lead screw 53 and the material transfer Z-axis threaded seat, the stable lifting of the material supporting plate 3 can be realized.

[0037] A material transfer Z-axis guide rail 41 is also arranged on the material transfer mounting frame 4. A material transfer Z-axis guide slider that cooperates with the material transfer Z-axis guide rail 41 is arranged on the X-axis drive module. The material transfer Z-axis guide slider is slidably connected to the material transfer Z-axis guide rail 41.

[0038] Through the cooperation of the material transfer Z-axis guide slider and the material transfer Z-axis guide rail 41, the stability of the lifting of the material supporting plate 3 can be further improved.

[0039] The X-axis drive module includes a material transfer X-axis mounting frame 61. A material transfer X-axis drive motor 62, a material transfer X-axis drive lead screw 63, and a material transfer X-axis guide rail 64 are arranged on the material transfer X-axis mounting frame 61.

[0046] The working process of the loading and unloading mechanism for the dyeing machine provided in this embodiment is as follows: The embodiment of the present utility model provides advantages of reasonable structural design and small occupied area compared with the existing loading machine.

[0047] First, the user places the material on the tray loading rack 2, and the feeding driving member 1 moves the tray loading rack 2 from the loading and unloading position to the transfer end.

[0048] After the tray loading rack 2 moves to the transfer end, the Z-axis driving module drives the X-axis driving module and the loading plate 3 to descend to the specified position.

[0049] The X-axis driving module drives the loading plate 3 to move towards the tray loading rack 2 until the loading plate 3 is completely inserted between the two placement bosses 201.

[0050] The Z-axis driving module drives the X-axis driving module and the loading plate 3 to rise a certain distance, so that the loading plate 3 lifts the tray on the placement boss 201.

[0051] After the lifting is completed, the X-axis driving module drives the loading plate 3 to move away from the tray loading rack 2 until the tray is moved out of the feeding box body 7.

[0052] The Z-axis driving module controls the X-axis driving module and the loading plate 3 to rise a certain distance, the X-axis driving module then drives the loading plate 3 to move linearly, and the Z-axis driving module controls the X-axis driving module and the loading plate 3 to descend until the tray is completely separated from the loading plate 3.

[0053] The X-axis driving module drives the loading plate 3 to return to its original position, realizing the tray loading process.

[0054] For the blanking of the tray, the above-mentioned opposite actions are adopted, which will not be elaborated here.

[0055] As can be seen from the above, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By adopting its mechanism, it can effectively solve the problem that the material transfer mechanism of the dyeing machine in the prior art has insufficient material transfer efficiency. By using the product structure, the tray bearing frame 2 cooperates with the bearing plate 3 to realize feeding in the tray mode, which can effectively increase the number of slides transferred at one time, improve the material transfer efficiency, ensure the automation level of the equipment, and improve the operation experience of the operator, which is beneficial to improving the competitiveness of the product.
