All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0037] Embodiment 1
[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-5, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: A glass slide holder for a dyeing machine, comprising a holding member 1, a frame body 2, and a locking member 3. The holding member 1 includes a block body 11, a cross bar 12 fixed to the bottom surface of the block body 11, and two vertical rods 13 vertically and downwardly fixed at both ends of the cross bar 12. The frame body 2 includes two side plates 21 vertically arranged side by side on the left and right, a bottom bar 22 with both ends connected to the bottom ends of the two side plates 21, and a top bar 23 with both ends connected to the top ends of the two side plates 21. The locking member 3 includes two groups of convex plates 31 and two guide cylinders 32. The two groups of convex plates 31 are respectively fixed to the upper parts of the mutually remote sides of the two side plates 21. Each group of convex plates 31 is arranged in parallel front and back and vertically provided with two. A vertical rail 311 is provided between the two convex plates 31 in each group. The vertical rod 13 slides up and down in the vertical rail 311. A first hole 131 is vertically and throughly provided on the vertical rod 13. A second hole 312 is vertically and throughly provided on each group of convex plates 31. The two guide cylinders 32 are respectively horizontally fixed to the middle parts of the mutually remote sides of the two side plates 21 and are located on the front side of the convex plates 31. A sliding groove 321 is provided in the guide cylinder 32 and communicates with the side of the convex plate 31. A sliding rod 33 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 321 and horizontally slides through the second hole 312 and the first hole 131. A spring 34 is provided between the front side wall of the sliding groove 321 and the sliding rod 33. A first pull rod 35 is fixed to the front end of the sliding rod 33. The first pull rod 35 slides through the front side wall of the sliding groove 321 back and forth and extends forward to the outside. Slide the vertical rod 13 downward and snap it into the vertical rail 311. The elastic force of the spring 34 on the sliding rod 33 causes the sliding rod 33 to be inserted into the second hole 312 and the first hole 131, so as to limit the vertical rod 13 on the convex plate 31, and then fix the holding member 1 on the frame body 2. Then the block body 11 is located on the upper side of the frame body 2. Then the robotic arm clamps the block body 11 to move the frame body 2, making it convenient to clamp and easy to maintain stability. By directly pulling the first pull rod 35, the sliding rod 33 is driven to contract into the sliding groove 321, thereby releasing the restriction on the vertical rod 13. Then directly pull the holding member 1 upward to separate the holding member 1 and the frame body 2, avoiding affecting the loading and unloading of glass slides on the frame body 2 due to the holding member 1. As described above, the holding member 1 and the frame body 2 are detachably connected through the locking member 3, which not only meets the requirements of clamping stability and convenience, but also facilitates the loading and unloading of glass slides, enhancing the practicability. There is one bottom bar 22, and the bottom bar 22 is fixed to the center of the bottom end of the side plate 21. There are two top bars 23, which are respectively fixed to the front and rear end parts of the top end of the side plate 21. The glass slides are placed into the frame body 2 from the upper opening. The glass slides are limited by the two side plates 21 on the left and right sides, limited by the two top bars 23 on the front and rear sides, and limited by the bottom bar 22 on the bottom side, so that the glass slides can be stored.Between the two side plates 21, two middle plates 24 are fixedly connected in common. The two middle plates 24 are arranged in parallel and are respectively fixed to the middle parts of the front and rear sides of the side plates 21. A plurality of grooves 221 are evenly arranged on the top surface of the bottom rod 22. On each of the two top rods 23, a row of spacers 25 is fixedly connected to the side close to each other. A plurality of spacers 25 in each row are evenly arranged in the left-right direction. Each spacer 25 is arranged vertically, with the top end fixed to the top rod 23 and the bottom end fixed to the middle plate 24. The two rows of spacers 25 are arranged symmetrically in the front-rear direction and are both fixed to the side of the two middle plates 24 close to each other. The grooves 221 and the spacers 25 are arranged in a staggered manner. By providing the grooves 221 and the spacers 25, the positions of the glass slides can be fixed and separated, which is more conducive to storing and staining the glass slides. The block 11 is fixedly connected with a limiting plate 14 upward. The horizontal dimension of the limiting plate 14 is larger than that of the block 11. The side edges of the limiting plate 14 horizontally extend outwards beyond the block 11. By means of the limiting plate 14, the robotic arm is restricted above the block 11, preventing the block 11 from disengaging from the robotic arm downward during the clamping process. The bottom ends of each group of two convex plates 31 are fixedly connected with a bottom block 313 in common. The distance between the bottom block 313 and the second hole 312 is equal to the distance between the first hole 131 and the bottom end of the vertical rod 13. The vertical rod 13 is inserted into the vertical rail 311 and slides downward until the bottom end of the vertical rod 13 abuts against the top surface of the bottom block 313, thereby restricting the vertical rod 13 to stop sliding. At this time, the first hole 131 and the second hole 312 are just aligned. The above setting is conducive to aligning the first hole 131 and the second hole 312. The front ends of the two first pull rods 35 are fixedly connected with a second pull rod 36 in common. The second pull rod 36 is located at the front side of the frame 2. The distance between the rear end of the sliding rod 33 and the rear side surface of the second pull rod 36 is equal to the distance between the front end of the frame 2 and the rear end of the convex plate 31. By pulling the second pull rod 36, the two first pull rods 35 on both sides can be driven to move simultaneously. And due to the restriction of the frame 2 on the second pull rod 36, the sliding rod 33 can be prevented from sliding backward excessively. A pull ring 37 is fixedly connected downward at the middle part of the second pull rod 36. By pulling the pull ring 37, it is more conducive to moving the second pull rod 36. The first pull rod 35 is in threaded connection with the sliding rod 33. First, the first pull rod 35 is inserted into the sliding groove 321 from the front end, then the spring 34 is placed around the first pull rod 35 in the sliding groove 321 from the rear end. Then, the sliding rod 33 is inserted into the sliding groove 321 through the second hole 312, and by rotating the sliding rod 33, the sliding rod 33 and the first pull rod 35 are in threaded connection, that is, the sliding rod 33, the spring 34 and the first pull rod 35 are installed in the sliding groove 321. The sliding rod 33 and the first pull rod 35 are fixed to each other by means of threaded connection, making it easy to connect and disassemble the two. After the sliding rod 33 and the first pull rod 35 are disassembled, they can be installed separately, thereby increasing the convenience and flexibility of the installation process and being more conducive to installing the sliding rod 33, the spring 34 and the first pull rod 35 in the sliding groove 321.
[0039] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model:
[0040] The lever 33 is locked with the spring 34 when it is pressed against the stopper 33, and the lever 33 is locked with the stopper 33. The lever 33 is locked with the stopper 33 when it is pressed against the stopper 33. The stopper 33 is locked with the stopper 33 when it is pressed against the stopper 33.
[0041] By pulling the pull ring 37, the pull rod 2 36 is driven, and the pull rod 1 35 on both sides is driven to move at the same time, and the slide rod 33 is driven to retract into the slide groove 321, thereby releasing the restriction on the vertical rod 13, and then the holder 1 is directly pulled upward to separate the holder 1 and the frame 2, so that the holder 1 will not hinder the loading and unloading of glass slides in the frame 2.
