For example, they can refer to fixed connections, replaceable connections, or integral connections. They can also refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections. They can also refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. They can also refer to internal connections between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application discloses a slicing oil dripping device.

[0045] See also Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 , an embodiment of a slicing oil dripping device provided in the embodiments of the present application includes:

[0046] Oil storage tank 1, oil filling pump 2 and oil filling head 3.

[0047] The oil storage tank 1 is an oil storage container, and its specific shape and storage capacity can be designed and changed according to actual needs without limitation.

[0048] The oiling head 3 includes a tooling head 31 and an oil dropper 32. The tooling head 31 is provided with a threaded connection portion 311 that can be connected to the lens revolver 53. The oil dropper 32 is fixed to the tooling head 31. This design allows the oiling head 3 to cooperate with the lens revolver 53 in the scanning device, thereby being integrated with the oil lens 6. This makes the structure more compact and facilitates automatic switching between oil dropper and lens scanning by controlling the lens revolver 53. For example, when the oil lens 6 is needed for scanning, the slice is first moved under the lens of the lens revolver 53. At this time, the lens revolver 53 is rotated until the oiling head 3 is facing the slice. The control system of the scanning device detects that the current hole position of the lens revolver 53 is the hole position of the oiling head 3, and then controls the oiling pump 2 to start sucking oil from the oil tank 1. The oil is then dripped onto the slice through the oil dropper 32 in the oiling head 3. After the oil dripping operation is completed, the lens revolver 53 is rotated again until the oil lens 6 is facing the slice. The control system detects that the current hole position of the lens revolver 53 is the hole position of the oiling head 3, and then controls the scanning to begin. Through the above design, automated operations can be better realized and scanning efficiency can be further improved.

[0049] The oil inlet end of the oil filling pump 2 is connected to the oil storage tank 1 through the first oil delivery pipe 21, and the oil outlet end of the oil filling pump 2 is connected to the oil dripping needle 32 through the second oil delivery pipe 22. The oil filling pump 2 is a pump body device capable of conveying oil. It is an existing device structure, and the specific structure is not described in detail. By setting the oil suction and oil discharge volume of the oil filling pump 2 each time (the oil suction and oil discharge volume can be set at the factory), the fixed oil discharge volume can be accurately controlled to ensure that the oil discharge volume of each time the oil mirror 6 is working meets the requirements of the slice scanning, thereby realizing automatic oil dripping. Compared with traditional manual oil dripping, the efficiency and accuracy of oil dripping are improved, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of scanning.

[0050] The above is the first embodiment of a slicing oil dripping device provided by the embodiment of the present application. The following is the second embodiment of a slicing oil dripping device provided by the embodiment of the present application. For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 .

[0051] Based on the solution of the above embodiment 1:

[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the system further includes a detector 4; the detector 4 is used to detect the oil level in the oil tank 1 and issue an alarm signal when the oil level falls below a preset alarm threshold. When the scanning device begins operation, the detector 4 activates detection, monitoring the oil level in the oil tank 1 in real time. When the oil level falls below the preset alarm threshold, the detector 4 issues an alarm signal to prompt the operator to refill the oil, allowing the operator to refill the oil through the oil filling port of the oil tank 1. The detector 4 can also be configured to cancel the alarm signal when the refueling level reaches the preset refueling threshold. The alarm signal can be an acoustic signal and / or a light signal, without limitation.

[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the detector 4 can be a weighing sensor. Correspondingly, the oil tank 1 is placed on the weighing surface of the weighing sensor. The amount of oil in the oil tank 1 is determined by detecting the mass of the oil tank 1. It should be noted that the weighing sensor has an alarm function or is connected to an alarm device to generate an alarm signal.

[0054] Of course, the detector 4 is a liquid level sensor, and the detection end of the liquid level sensor extends into the oil storage tank 1. Similarly, the liquid level sensor is provided with an alarm function, or is connected with an alarm device to realize sending an alarm signal.

[0055] Furthermore, if Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the tooling head 31 is a lens-like structure to meet the requirements of connecting with the objective lens converter 53, and the existing lens is modified to save costs. Specifically, the lens can be removed and a structure connected to the oil dripping needle 32 can be added to achieve the modification.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the oil dripping needle 32 is made of metal and specifically includes a needle head 321 and a needle tube 322 (the inner diameter of the needle tube 322 can be 1.5 mm, and the specific design can be varied based on actual oil dripping needs, without limitation). The needle head 321 is fixed to one end of the needle tube 322 for connection to one end of the second oil delivery pipe 22. The needle tube 322 can be designed to be L-shaped, with the other end entering from the side of the tooling head 31 and then extending from the bottom of the tooling head 31.

[0057] The second oil delivery pipe 22 of the present application is designed as a hose, which can avoid interfering with the rotation of the lens converter 53. Of course, the first oil delivery pipe 21 can also be designed as a hose; and the type of hose can be a conventional hose or a telescopic hose, without specific limitation.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the present application also discloses a scanning device, including a device body and a slicing oil dripping device.

[0059] The oil storage tank 1 and the oil injection pump 2 of the slice oil dripping device are installed on the main frame 5 of the equipment body, and the oil injection head 3 of the slice oil dripping device is installed on the objective lens converter 53 of the equipment body.

[0060] Furthermore, to facilitate installation of the oil tank 1, the main frame 5 can be designed with side panels 51, to which support plates 511 are fixed (the support plates 511 are bolted or otherwise secured to the side panels 51). Accordingly, the oil tank 1 is mounted on the support plates 511. For example, if a load cell is used as the detector 4, the detector 4 is secured to the side panels 51 via the support plates 511, and the oil tank 1 is then secured to the detector 4.

[0061] Furthermore, the main frame 5 is also designed with a back plate 52 so that the oil injection pump 2 and the objective lens converter 53 can be installed on the back plate 52 .

[0062] The main frame 5 plays a role of bearing and fixing, and its specific structure can be changed and designed according to actual needs without limitation.

[0063] The above is a detailed introduction to a slicing oil dripping device and scanning equipment provided by this application. For general technicians in this field, based on the ideas of the embodiments of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on this application.
