Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scanner equipment technology, specifically to a continuous scanning digital pathology slide scanner. Background Technology
[0002] A pathology slide scanner is a high-tech device in the medical field, used in hospitals, research institutions, and related areas. This device is primarily used for pathological examination of human tissues and cells, providing strong support for doctors' diagnoses.
[0003] Pathology slide scanners use digital technology to digitize images of pathology specimens, enabling doctors to make online diagnoses. This eliminates the need for doctors to physically visit a pathology laboratory to review slide results; they can obtain accurate pathology diagnoses directly on their computers.
[0004] Our facility makes it easier to handle slides and can test slides of different sizes, greatly improving work efficiency and rigor.
[0005] In view of this, we will study and improve the existing structure and its deficiencies, and provide a continuous scanning digital pathology slide scanner in order to achieve a more practical value. Utility Model Content

[0008] The clamping components are set into four groups, which are installed in the center of the placement stage for easy fixation during scanning. A motor is installed in the center of the placement stage, and a disc is fixedly connected to the motor output end.

[0009] Preferably, a threaded rod is fixedly connected inside the mounting bracket, and a slider is sleeved on the outside of the threaded rod. A connecting bracket is fixedly connected to the front end of the slider. A second motor is fixedly connected to the top front part of the connecting bracket, and a connecting column is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor.
[0010] Preferably, a cylindrical shell is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting column, and an upper disc is fixedly connected inside the cylindrical shell. The upper disc has multiple arc-shaped grooves inside, and a cylinder is slidably connected inside the arc-shaped grooves.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A continuous scanning digital pathology slide scanner includes a stage 1, an operating table 6 with multiple slots mounted on the top center of the stage 1, a transparent shell 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the stage 1, and a transparent glass layer at the front end of the transparent shell 2 for easy observation and placement of slides. A mounting frame 4 is fixedly mounted on one side of the top of the stage 1, and a motor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 4. The scanner is characterized by further comprising:
[0025] The clamping components are configured as four sets, which are installed in the center of the inside of the placement stage 1 for easy fixation during scanning. A motor is installed in the center of the inside of the placement stage 1, and a disc 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. Slider 21 is installed on the top four sides of the disc 18, so that the rotation of the disc 18 can drive the slider 21 to rotate.
[0026] Furthermore, a threaded rod 10 is fixedly connected inside the mounting bracket 4, and a slider 9 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded rod 10. A connecting bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the front end of the slider 9. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top front part of the connecting bracket 8, and a connecting column 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 5, so that the lens 12 can move up and down to adjust different heights.
[0027] Furthermore, a cylindrical shell 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting column 7, and an upper disc 16 is fixedly connected inside the cylindrical shell 11. The upper disc 16 has multiple arc-shaped grooves 13 inside, and a cylinder 14 is slidably connected inside the arc-shaped grooves 13. The structure of the upper and lower discs is more stable. The cylinder 14 is driven to slide under the action of centrifugal force, causing the lens 12 to be thrown out.
[0028] Furthermore, the bottom of the cylinder 14 is slidably connected to the inner arc groove of the lower disk 17, and the lower disk 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical shell 11. A connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the outer center of the cylinder 14, and the end of the connecting block 15 away from the cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lens 12, so that the lens 12 can scan 1IE films of different sizes.
[0029] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a clamping plate 19, a mounting post 20, a second slider 21, and a hollow frame 24. The second slider 21 is externally slidably connected to the inside of the hollow frame 24. The bottom of the hollow frame 24 abuts against the top periphery of the disc 18. The mounting post 20 is fixedly connected to the center of one end of the hollow frame 24, and the clamping plate 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting post 20. When the slice is placed on the operating table 6, it can be fixed in place.
[0030] Furthermore, a limiting ring 23 is fitted around the outside of the mounting column 20, and a support 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the limiting ring 23. The bottom of the support 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement platform 1. The limiting ring 23 prevents the mounting column 20 from swaying left and right, and from moving back and forth.
[0031] Furthermore, the limiting ring 23 has a sliding connection to the mounting post 20, and the clamping plate 19 fixed to the top of the mounting post 20 is slidably connected to the slot in the operating table 6, so that the clamping plate 19 can move and clamp the slice inside the slot.
[0032] Working principle: After starting motor 3, threaded rod 10 begins to rotate, and slider 9 begins to move up and down, driving connecting frame 8 so that motor 5 also moves up and down. Different heights can be controlled for convenient inspection. After starting operating table 6, the upper disc 16 installed inside the cylindrical shell 11 at the bottom of connecting column 7 rotates, causing the arc groove 13 at the temporal part of the upper disc 16 to drive the cylinder 14 to slide. The bottom of cylinder 14 is connected to lower disc 17, and a connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the middle of cylinder 14. The connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of lens 12, so that the size can be adjusted arbitrarily when inspecting different slices. When the slice is placed on operating table 6, the starting motor drives disc 18 and slider 21 to rotate. Slider 21 slides inside hollow frame 24. Since mounting column 20 is restricted by limiting ring 23 and can only move back and forth, and clamping plate 19 at the top of mounting column 20 slides in the slot of operating table 6, it can hold slices of different sizes, which facilitates personnel inspection and improves efficiency.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
