Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clamping mechanisms, in particular to a slide follower clamping mechanism used on an automatic microscope loading platform. Background Art
[0002] A microscope is an optical instrument composed of one or more lenses, marking the beginning of humanity's entry into the atomic age. It is commonly used in biology, medicine, and microscopic particle observation, magnifying tiny objects to a size visible to the naked eye. Image acquisition systems also allow for direct viewing, photographing, or recording of images on a computer screen. Microscope slides include slides and coverslips. Slides are glass or quartz plates used for microscopic observation. Cells or tissue sections are placed on the slide, followed by a cover slip. Finally, the slide and cover slip are placed on the microscope stage, which is then moved directly under the microscope lens for observation.
[0003] To prevent the slide from shifting during observation, it is usually necessary to fix the slide on the loading platform through a clamping assembly. When placing and removing the slide, the slide needs to be clamped manually, which affects efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a slide follower clamping mechanism applied to an automatic microscope loading platform, so as to solve the problem of manually clamping the slide.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the basic scheme of the utility model is as follows: a slide follower clamping mechanism applied to an automatic microscope loading platform, comprising a fixed block and a movable clamping assembly, the fixed block and the movable clamping assembly are mounted on the loading platform, and the fixed block and the movable clamping assembly are arranged relative to each other, the movable clamping assembly comprises a plurality of movable rails, a movable plate, a plurality of clamping blocks, a plurality of return members, a pulling arm and a limit baffle, a plurality of the movable rails are mounted on the loading platform, the movable plate is slidably connected to the movable rails, a plurality of the clamping blocks Fixed on the side of the movable plate close to the fixed block, several return parts are fixed between the movable plate and the loading platform for automatic return of the movable plate, one end of the pulling arm is hinged to the movable plate, and the other end of the pulling arm is provided with a limit block, the middle part of the pulling arm is rotatably connected to the loading platform, the limit block is fixed at a fixed position of the microscope, the limit block does not move with the loading platform, and the movement of the loading platform drives the pulling arm to move, the limit block at the end of the pulling arm can contact the limit block, and the limit block presses against the limit block to drive the pulling arm to rotate.
[0006] Furthermore, the return member includes two connecting columns and a tension spring. The two connecting columns are respectively fixed on the bottom of the movable plate and the loading platform, and the two connecting columns are arranged along the moving direction of the loading platform. Both ends of the tension spring are fixed on the two connecting columns.
[0007] Furthermore, the limit stopper includes a rotating shaft and a bearing, the rotating shaft is fixed at the end of the pulling arm, and the bearing is fixed at the bottom of the rotating shaft.
[0008] Furthermore, the end surface of the clamping block close to the fixing block is provided with a wedge surface.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this solution are: (1) the loading platform can slide, and the limit baffle does not move with the loading platform. When the limit block contacts the limit baffle, the limit baffle presses against the limit block to drive the pull arm to rotate. The rotation of the pull arm drives the movable plate connected to the other end of the pull arm to move away from the fixed block, thereby automatically releasing the paddle. When the loading platform enters the working area, the limit block moves away from the limit baffle, and the movable plate automatically returns to clamp the glass slide under the action of the return member.
[0010] (2) A wedge surface is provided on the end face of the clamping block close to the fixed block, and the wedge surface can limit the paddle in the up and down directions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] Example
[0016] Basically as attached Figure 1 、 Figure 2The figure shows: a slide follower clamping mechanism used on an automatic microscope loading platform, including a fixed block 1 and a movable clamping assembly, the fixed block 1 and the movable clamping assembly are installed on the loading platform 9, and the fixed block 1 and the movable clamping assembly are arranged relative to each other, the movable clamping assembly includes two movable slide rails 2, a movable plate 3, two clamping blocks 4, two return members, a pulling arm 5 and a limit baffle 6, the two movable slide rails 2 are installed on the loading platform 9, the movable plate 3 is slidably connected to the movable slide rails 2, the two clamping blocks 4 are fixed to the side of the movable plate 3 close to the fixed block 1, and the end face of the clamping block 4 close to the fixed block 1 is provided with a wedge surface; each return member includes two connecting columns 7 and a tension spring, and the two connecting columns 7 are respectively fixed to the movable plate 3 and the fixed block 1. The bottom of the movable plate 3 and the loading platform 9, and the two connecting columns 7 are arranged along the moving direction of the loading platform 9, and the two ends of the tension spring are fixed on the two connecting columns 7 (the tension spring is not shown in the figure); one end of the pulling arm 5 is hinged to the movable plate 3, and the other end of the pulling arm 5 is provided with a limit block 8. The limit block 8 includes a rotating shaft and a bearing. The rotating shaft is fixed at the end of the pulling arm 5, and the bearing is fixed at the bottom of the rotating shaft. The middle part of the pulling arm 5 is rotatably connected to the loading platform 9, and the limit block 6 is fixed at a fixed position of the microscope. The limit block 6 does not move with the loading platform 9. The movement of the loading platform 9 drives the pulling arm 5 to move. The limit block 8 at the end of the pulling arm 5 can contact the limit block 6, and the limit block 6 resists the limit block 8 to drive the pulling arm 5 to rotate.
[0017] The specific implementation process is as follows: the loading platform 9 can slide, and the limit baffle 6 does not move with the loading platform 9. When the limit block 8 contacts the limit baffle 6, the limit baffle 6 presses against the limit block 8 to drive the pulling arm 5 to rotate. The rotation of the pulling arm 5 drives the movable plate 3 connected to the other end of the pulling arm 5 to move away from the fixed block 1, thereby automatically releasing the paddle. When the loading platform 9 enters the working area, the limit block 8 is away from the limit baffle 6, and the movable plate 3 automatically returns to clamp the glass slide under the action of the return member.
