[0002] At present, a glass slide loading mechanism is a mechanical device used in automated or semi-automated experimental equipment, specifically designed to efficiently and accurately place glass slides. A glass slide is a thin slice used to carry samples (such as cells, tissue sections, etc.) during microscope observation, usually made of glass or quartz. The role of the loading mechanism is to simplify and accelerate the experimental preparation process, ensuring that the glass slide can be correctly and stably placed in the designated position for subsequent microscopic observation, analysis, or processing.

[0003] Traditional glass slide loading mechanisms lack an efficient two-dimensional precise positioning structure, resulting in the difficulty of accurately placing the glass slide in the predetermined position during the loading process, which may affect the accuracy and repeatability of subsequent experiments. Moreover, the current loading and replacement processes of glass slides are neither convenient nor stable, especially when dealing with a large number or different types of glass slides, this inconvenience is particularly prominent.

[0004] Therefore, a glass slide loading mechanism is needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] Figure 1 is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the present utility model, Figure 2 is an exploded structural schematic diagram of the present utility model, Figure 3 is a sectional structural schematic diagram of the present utility model, asFigure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 a glass slide loading mechanism as shown, including a loading plate 1. The loading plate 1 serves as the core carrier and is used to carry and fix the glass slide. An X-axis moving mechanism 3 is connected to the front end of the loading plate 1, and a positioning plate 2 is provided at the bottom of the loading plate 1. A Y-axis moving mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the positioning plate 2;

[0030] In the present utility model, a groove 101 is opened on the loading plate 1. The groove 101 on the loading plate 1 provides an accurate placement path and space for the glass slide. A long hole 102 is opened in the groove 101. The structure of the X-axis moving mechanism 3 is the same as that of the Y-axis moving mechanism 4, both being driven by a lead screw 303, and responsible for pushing the loading plate 1 or the glass slide on two perpendicular planes. The X-axis moving mechanism 3 is located at the front end of the loading plate 1, and the Y-axis moving mechanism 4 is located on one side of the positioning plate 2, jointly realizing precise positioning on a two-dimensional plane; the X-axis moving mechanism 3 includes a housing 301, a driving motor 302 and a lead screw 303. The lead screw 303 is installed inside the housing 301. The housing 301 is the outer shell of the X-axis and Y-axis moving mechanisms 4, with the lead screw 303 installed inside, protecting the internal mechanical structure from external interference and providing necessary structural support at the same time. The driving motor 302 is installed on one side of the housing 301, and the output end of the driving motor 302 is drivingly connected to the lead screw 303. The driving motor 302 provides the necessary driving force to rotate the lead screw 303, thereby driving the lead screw nut 304 and the loading plate 1 to move, realizing precise linear motion. A lead screw nut 304 is connected to the lead screw 303, and a nut clamp 305 is fixedly connected to the lead screw nut 304. A connecting sleeve 306 is provided on one side of the nut clamp 305, and the connecting sleeve 306 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 303. The lead screw 303 is the key component for converting the rotational motion of the motor into a linear motion. The cooperation between the lead screw 303 and the lead screw nut 304 determines the accuracy and stability of the movement. A limiting hole 307 is opened on the housing 301. One end of the connecting sleeve 306 passes through the limiting hole 307 and is fixedly connected to the loading plate 1. The lead screw nut 304 meshes with the lead screw 303. When the lead screw 303 rotates, the lead screw nut 304 moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 303. The nut clamp 305 fixes the lead screw nut 304 and is connected to the housing 301 through the connecting sleeve 306 to ensure smooth and precise movement. The connecting sleeve 306 is fixed to the lead screw 303 and is connected to the loading plate 1 through the limiting hole 307 on the housing 301, not only limiting the movement range but also increasing the overall stability of the structure, reducing offset and shaking.

[0031] The utility model is fixedly connected with a connecting plate 5 at the rear end of a housing 301. A plurality of positioning columns 104 are fixedly connected to the loading plate 1. The connecting plate 5 and the positioning columns 104 are inserted and fixed with each other. The connecting plate 5 at the rear end of the housing 301 is inserted and fixed with the plurality of positioning columns 104 on the loading plate 1, strengthening the rigidity and stability of the whole mechanism and ensuring no distortion or displacement during movement. The utility model is provided with clamping arms 103 for clamping glass slides on the loading plate 1. The clamping arms 103 and the loading plate 1 are rotatably connected to each other through a rotating shaft, and can be flexibly opened and closed, used for clamping or releasing glass slides, ensuring the safe fixation of glass slides during movement and also facilitating the operator to quickly replace glass slides. A motor fixing seat 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the driving motor 302, reducing the vibration during the operation of the driving motor 302 and contributing to improving the stability and service life of the overall structure.

[0032] Working principle: First, place the glass slide to be processed in the groove 101 on the loading plate 1. The design of the groove 101 is aimed at providing an accurate and stable placement path and space for the glass slide, ensuring that the glass slide can be correctly aligned and ready. Once the glass slide is properly placed, the X-axis moving mechanism 3 starts to work. After receiving a control signal, the driving motor 302 starts, and its output end is connected to the lead screw 303. The rotation force of the motor makes the lead screw 303 rotate. The precise cooperation between the lead screw 303 and the lead screw nut 304 makes the nut move along the axial direction of the lead screw 303. This movement is transmitted to the loading plate 1 through the nut clamp 305 and the connecting sleeve 306, so that the loading plate 1 smoothly moves along the X-axis direction. The cooperation between the limit hole 307 on the housing 301 and the connecting sleeve 306 defines the movement range, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the movement. The Y-axis moving mechanism 4 works in coordination: At the same time or as required, the Y-axis moving mechanism 4 also starts to operate. Its structure is the same as that of the X-axis moving mechanism 3, and is also driven by the driving motor 302 through the lead screw 303, so that the loading plate 1 moves in the direction perpendicular to the X-axis (i.e., the Y-axis direction). In this way, through the coordinated action of the X-axis and Y-axis moving mechanisms 4, precise positioning of the glass slide can be achieved on a two-dimensional plane for observation through a microscope. Clamping and releasing of the glass slide: The clamping arms 103 configured on the loading plate 1 are connected to the loading plate 1 through a rotating shaft and can be flexibly opened and closed as needed. After the glass slide is placed and reaches the predetermined position, the clamping arms 103 are closed manually or electrically to clamp the glass slide, ensuring that the glass slide remains stable during movement or experiment and avoiding sliding or falling off.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
