[0030] The following will be combined with 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. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] like Figure 1-10The cover glass separation device shown includes a shell 1, the upper part of which is open, and a loading chamber 11 for placing cover glasses is provided inside the shell; one end of the loading chamber 11 is open, and a flipping assembly rotatably connected to the shell 1 is provided at the opening, and a top assembly for pushing the cover glasses toward the flipping assembly is also provided in the loading chamber 11. Before use, the device stacks clean cover glasses and loads them into the loading chamber 11, and then uses the top assembly to push the cover glasses as a whole to move toward the flipping assembly. The flipping assembly flips once to separate a single cover glass from the stack, making it easy to take out and use without causing contamination to other cover glasses.
[0032] In one embodiment, a mounting frame 2 is provided on the housing 1, and the flipping assembly includes a slice shaft 21 rotatably provided on the mounting frame 2 and a slice board 22 provided on the slice shaft 21; a fan-shaped card slot 23 for accommodating a single cover glass is provided on the side of the slice shaft 21 close to the film loading chamber 11. When the cover glass is loaded in the film loading chamber 11, the upper sheet assembly will push the cover glass to slide toward the slice board 22. When the slice board 22 is completely aligned with the housing 1, the fan-shaped card slot 23 on its upper end will align with the film loading chamber 11. The bottom surfaces of 11 are in the same plane. At this time, a single cover glass will slide into the fan-shaped slot 23 to be filled. Then the flap plate 22 is turned over. The fan-shaped slot 23 on the splitting shaft 21 is misaligned with the bottom surface of the loading chamber 11. Its outer surface abuts against the rear group of cover glasses filled in the fan-shaped slot 23, so that it cannot continue to slide forward under the push of the upper sheet assembly, thereby separating the cover glass filled in the fan-shaped slot 23 from the stacked cover glasses, so that it can be picked up by hand for use.
[0033] In one embodiment, the upper film assembly includes a first spring 3 arranged on the side wall of the loading chamber 11 and a push plate 31 arranged at one end of the first spring 3 away from the side wall of the loading chamber 11 and sliding within the loading chamber 11. The first spring 3 pushes the push plate 31 to abut against the rear end of the stacked cover glass, thereby pushing the cover glass as a whole to slide toward the side of the flap plate 22, and then the cover glass can be continuously loaded into the fan-shaped slot 23.
[0034] In one embodiment, the housing 1 is further provided with a snap assembly located on both sides of the opening of the film loading chamber 11; the snap assembly includes a receiving groove 4, a wedge plate 41 for limiting sliding in the receiving groove 4, and a second spring 42 arranged between the wedge plate 41 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 4; the wedge surface of the wedge plate 41 faces the side close to the strap plate 22, and limited clamping blocks 43 are arranged on both sides of the wedge plate 41. The side wall of the receiving groove 4 is provided with a first limited sliding groove 44 for the limited clamping block 43 to engage and slide, and a push plate 45 is arranged on both sides of the strap plate 22 for pushing the wedge plate 41 to slide. When the strap plate 22 drives the cover glass inside it to flip away from the cover glass stacked at the rear end, the cover glass at the rear end will be blocked by the outer surface of the slicing shaft 21 to ensure that the cover glass at the rear end is In order to ensure the uniformity of force, a snap assembly is provided at its upper end, so that when the strip plate 22 is flipped open, the wedge plate 41 in the accommodating groove 4 will pop out under the action of the second spring 42, and then block the front end of the cover glass in the loading chamber 11, helping to limit it and ensure overall stability. When the strip plate 22 rotates toward the shell 1, the push plate 45 at its upper end will abut against the wedge surface of the wedge plate 41, and then push it to retract into the accommodating groove 4, so that the wedge plate 41 releases the restriction on the cover glass in the loading chamber 11 until one side of the fan-shaped card slot 23 is flush with the bottom surface of the loading chamber 11. At this time, the wedge plate 41 is completely misaligned with the cover glass, and then the push plate 31 pushes the cover glass in the loading chamber 11 to continue to be loaded into the fan-shaped card slot 23.
[0035] In one embodiment, the housing 1 is further provided with a stop frame 5 for limiting the rotation angle of the strap 22 . The stop frame 5 prevents the strap 22 from turning over too much and causing the cover glass to slip out of the fan-shaped slot 23 .
[0036] In one embodiment, a second limiting slot 6 is further provided on the push plate 31, and a limiting slider 61 is provided in the second limiting slot 6 for limiting sliding. A pin rod 62 is provided on the limiting slider 61, and a movable hole 63 for the pin rod 62 to pass through and move is provided at the side end of the second limiting slot 6. A pin groove 64 that is adapted to be plugged into the movable hole 63 is provided on the shell 1. Since the push plate 31 will continue to slide toward the side of the strap plate 22 under the push of the first spring 3, after the push plate 31 is pulled to a specific position, the limiting slider 61 can be slid laterally to make the pin rod 62 extend from the movable hole 63 and insert into the pin groove 64, thereby limiting and fixing the push plate 31, so that the cover glass can be easily loaded.
[0037] The locking cam 73 is provided on both sides of the locking cam 7 to lock the locking cam 73, and the locking cam 73 is provided on the side of the locking cam 7 to lock the locking cam 73. When the locking cam 73 is in the closed position with respect to the locking cam 73, the locking cam 73 is locked. The material of the plate 73 can be made of elastic plastic. After the cover glass is loaded into the loading chamber 11, the buckle cover 7 can be closed to protect the interior from contamination. The main fixing method is to insert the insert plates 73 on both sides of the buckle cover 7 into the snap plate 72, and then buckle the bottom of the snap plate 72 through the buckle plate 74 to form a snap connection. When the buckle cover 7 needs to be opened, the pressure plate 75 is pressed to release the pressure plate 75, so that the insert plate 73 is bent and deformed toward the side of the buckle cover 7, and then the buckle plate 74 is separated from the snap plate 72, and then the buckle cover 7 can be pulled up to open.
[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be embraced within the present invention.
