[0051] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in the first embodiment of the slide clamp loading and lifting mechanism of the utility model, the slide clamp loading and lifting mechanism comprises at least at least one driving assembly (10, 11, 12, 13), a mounting assembly (20, 21, 22), at least one slide bin assembly (30, 31, 32) and at least one slide clamp assembly (40).

[0052] The mounting assembly is formed by connecting at least one set of mounting frames 20 arranged opposite to each other, and the mounting frames 20 are arranged axially.

[0053] The driving component is used to output the rotational torque. It is installed on the outside of the mounting component and can be selected as an electric motor or a motor as a power element.

[0054] The film bin assembly is axially arranged in the mounting assembly, and oppositely arranged card slots are formed between the film bin assemblies.

[0055] The slide clamp assembly is placed in the card slot formed by the slide chamber assembly and is used to carry the slide.

[0056] Specifically, the mounting assembly is used to fix at least one driving assembly, at least one slide bin assembly, and at least one slide clamp assembly.

[0057] At least one driving assembly is movably arranged on the mounting assembly, and is used to output a rotational torque, that is, the position where the driving assembly is installed on the mounting assembly can be selected.

[0058] At least one film bin assembly is arranged in the mounting assembly, and one end thereof is movably arranged with the transmission shaft of the driving assembly, and the other end is movably arranged at the other end of the mounting assembly, that is, the opposite side of the mounting assembly where the driving assembly is fixed.

[0059] At least one slide clamp assembly is arranged in the slide bin assembly and is used to carry a robotic arm to clamp a slide to be placed.

[0060] When the driving assembly rotates, it drives the film bin assembly to move, thereby controlling the film bin assembly to automatically move up and down in the mounting assembly.

[0061] Using this technical solution, the drive component and the slide chamber component cooperate to control the up and down movement of the slide chamber component in the installation component. Automated mechanical movements are used throughout the process, which can effectively improve the working efficiency of the cell scanner. A power-off self-locking mechanism is introduced to ensure that the position of the slide remains unchanged when the power is interrupted. Through an intelligent control algorithm, precise control of the lifting mechanism is achieved.

[0062] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, in order to improve the mechanical performance of the loading and lifting mechanism, a driving motor 10, a motor mounting frame 11, a transmission rotor 12 and a lifting slot plate 13 can be set in the driving assembly.

[0063] The driving motor 10 is used to output rotational torque.

[0064] The motor mounting bracket 11 is used to fix the driving motor 10 .

[0065] The lifting slot plate 13 is used to cooperate with the driving motor 10 to control the film bin assembly to move up and down in the mounting assembly.

[0066] Specifically, the motor mounting frame 11 is set on the mounting frame 20 (belonging to the mounting assembly), the drive motor 10 is fixed on the motor mounting frame 11 and is set on the outside of the motor mounting frame 11, one end of the transmission rotor 12 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor 10, for receiving the rotational torque output by the drive shaft, and the other end of the transmission rotor 12 is engaged with one end of the lifting slot plate 13 for transmission. When the drive motor 10 rotates, it drives the transmission rotor 12 to rotate, and the transmission rotor 12 engages and drives the lifting slot plate 13 fixed on one side of the film bin assembly, so that the film bin assembly can automatically move up and down.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figure 3-Figure 6 and Figures 8-11 As shown, to ensure the reliability of the film magazine assembly, a latch 121 can be provided at one end of the transmission rotor 12, and a plurality of spaced latch slots 131 can be provided on the extension of the lifting slot plate 13. The latch 121 of the transmission rotor 12 is engaged with the latch slots 131 of the lifting slot plate 13. The latch slots 131 are spaced apart.

[0068] The transmission rotor 12 and the lifting slot plate 13 are engaged and cooperated through the engagement of the bayonet 121 and the slot 131. When the motor is powered off, the position can be self-locked. On the one hand, it ensures that the position of the glass slide remains unchanged when the power is interrupted. On the other hand, it ensures the safety and reliability of the equipment in unexpected situations.

[0069] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 The figure shows the first matching state between the transmission rotor 12 and the lifting slot plate 13 , that is, the film bin assembly stays in the clamping groove 131 of the lifting slot plate 13 .

[0070] like Figure 4 and Figure 9 The figure shows the second state of cooperation between the transmission rotor 12 and the lifting slot plate 13, that is, as the drive motor 10 rotates clockwise, the transmission rotor 12 will be stuck to the upper edge of the third grid (slot 131) of the lifting slot plate 13, thereby driving the film bin assembly to lift.

[0071] like Figure 5 and Figure 10 The figure shows the third state of cooperation between the transmission rotor 12 and the lifting slot plate 13, that is, as the drive motor 10 rotates clockwise, the transmission rotor 12 is clamped to the upper edge of the third grid (clamping slot 131) of the lifting slot plate 13, thereby driving the film bin assembly to lift.

[0072] like Figure 6 and Figure 11The figure shows the fourth state of cooperation between the transmission rotor 12 and the lifting slot plate 13, that is, as the drive motor 10 rotates clockwise, the film bin assembly is lifted to the third grid (slot 131) of the lifting slot plate 13, and the film bin assembly is powered off and self-locked. Due to the action of gravity, the power is cut off during the movement, and the film bin assembly will remain in the second and third grids. This can effectively solve the problem that the glass slide loading mechanism in the prior art usually does not have a power-off self-locking function. Once the power is interrupted, the mechanism may lose power and cannot keep the glass slide fixed, posing a safety hazard.

[0073] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, in order to improve the performance of the loading and lifting mechanism, the mounting assembly may include at least one set of mounting frames 20, at least one set of guide rods 21 and a bearing seat assembly 22.

[0074] The mounting frame 20 is axially arranged on the workbench and is used to support the motor mounting frame 11 , the guide rod 21 and the bearing seat assembly 22 .

[0075] The guide rod 21 provides a movable travel guide for the movement of the film magazine assembly.

[0076] The bearing seat assembly 22 is used to support the bearing so that it can bear the axial and radial loads of the machine and support the rotating shaft. It can also fix the bearing in an accurate position on the machine and ensure the correct axial distance between the inner and outer rings of the bearing and the end cover.

[0077] Specifically, a plurality of axially arranged slide grooves (not shown) are provided on the mounting frame 20, and the motor mounting frame 11 is arranged in the slide grooves (not shown) of the mounting frame 20. The position of the motor mounting frame 11 on the mounting frame 20 can be adjusted through the slide grooves.

[0078] One guide rod 21 is disposed on one inner side of the mounting frame 20 , and the other guide rod 21 is disposed on the other inner side of the mounting frame 20 .

[0079] The bearing seat assemblies 22 are respectively disposed on the guide rods 21 and are slidably connected to the guide rods 21 .

[0080] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to improve the performance of the loading and lifting mechanism, a film bin bottom plate 30, at least one set of film bin supports 31 and a film bin top plate 32 can be provided in the film bin assembly.

[0081] The film bin bottom plate 30 and the film bin top plate 32 are arranged opposite to each other to form a placement space (not shown).

[0082] The film bin bottom plate 30 and the film bin top plate 32 are arranged in the mounting frame 20 , that is, the film bin bottom plate 30 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting frame 20 , and the film bin top plate 32 is arranged in the middle section of the mounting frame 20 .

[0083] The slide chamber supports 31 are axially arranged in the placement space (not shown), and the slide chamber supports 31 arranged opposite to each other axially form a support frame for placing a glass slide.

[0084] Among them, the film bin bottom plate 30, the film bin support 31 shaft and the film bin top plate 32 are fixedly connected to the bearing seat assembly 22, and the film bin bottom plate 30, the film bin support 31, the film bin top plate 32 and the bearing seat assembly 22 are fixedly connected together to form a film bin assembly that can slide up and down.

[0085] When the drive motor 10 rotates, it drives the transmission rotor 12 to rotate, and the transmission rotor 12 engages to drive the lifting slot plate 13 to move. The film bin bottom plate 30, the film bin support 31 and the film bin top plate 32 slide along the guide rod 21, so that the film bin assembly can automatically move up and down.

[0086] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, in order to accurately control the glass slide to reach the corresponding position, at least one sensor component can be set in the loading and lifting mechanism, which is set on the mounting component to detect the current travel position of the slide chamber component or limit the action position of the robotic arm.

[0087] The sensor assembly may form a fixed end for the movement of the film bin assembly.

[0088] In some embodiments, the sensor assembly includes at least one sensor 50 , a first sensor trigger board 51 , and a second sensor trigger board 52 .

[0089] Wherein, the sensor is arranged at the upper end of the sensor assembly.

[0090] The first sensor trigger board 51 and the second sensor trigger board 52 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0091] Furthermore, multiple rows of sensing protrusions are respectively provided on the first sensor trigger plate 51 and the second sensor trigger plate 52 , and each row of sensing protrusions corresponds to one position sensor.

[0092] When the slide chamber assembly moves to any position, each position sensor is combined according to the current sensing result to control the slide clamp to reach the corresponding position or the specified position.

[0093] The above description is only part of the implementation methods of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
