Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cell staining equipment, specifically a multi-group biological cell staining machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, clinical medical laboratories and pathology departments all require staining of cell slides. This necessitates a reagent container to hold the staining reagents. Staining cell slides involves coloring the cells within them. Specifically, different colored chemical reagents are used in sequence for varying durations of soaking, such as red, yellow, orange, and blue. After each staining, the slides are rinsed with tap water in a circulating manner. This sequential soaking and rinsing process is referred to as a staining procedure. The stained cell slides are then used for observation and analysis under a microscope. The images are clear, with distinct tones and high cell resolution, facilitating cytopathological analysis and leading to accurate diagnostic results. In current technology, a single staining container means that only one staining operation can be performed at a time, limiting the diversity and flexibility of experiments. If multiple cell samples or staining experiments need to be processed simultaneously, frequent changes of staining containers or adjustments to the equipment are required.

[0003] For example, a biological cell staining machine disclosed in the authorized patent document with application number CN202022947235.5 includes: a vertical guide rail; a clutch connector two connected at one end to a lifting device and at the other end to a basket fixing device; a shock absorber or the impact rod connected at one end to the vertical guide rail and at the other end to the basket fixing device.

[0029] The dyeing machine body 1 is equipped with a limiting mechanism 3 for convenient installation of the hanging basket 31 for placing multiple sets of products;

[0030] Specifically, a cell staining mechanism 2 is set inside the staining machine body 1. Multiple staining cylinders can simultaneously perform staining steps on multiple slides, thereby greatly improving staining efficiency. Different biological cell samples may require different staining agents or staining conditions. Multiple staining cylinders can be loaded with different staining agents or adjusted to different staining conditions to meet diverse staining needs, thereby improving the flexibility and applicability of the equipment.

[0031] The dyeing machine body 1 has a first cylinder 4 rotatably installed inside, a long plate frame 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the first cylinder 4, a movable plate 6 is slidably installed inside the long plate frame 5, and a limiting mechanism 3 is located at the bottom of the movable plate 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, multiple products are stored in the hanging basket 31. The top of the hanging basket 31 is inserted into two alignment slots 7. Using the operation screen on the dyeing machine body 1, two electric push rods 33 are activated, and the pins 34 are inserted into the insertion holes 35, allowing the hanging basket 31 to be quickly installed at the bottom of the moving plate 6. The starting motor 202 drives the drive gear 203 to rotate, and the drive gear 203 meshes with the driven gear 204, realizing the rotation adjustment of the first cylinder 4, which moves the hanging basket 31 to the desired dyeing vat position. Six dyeing vat bodies 23 of different colors are provided on the dyeing machine body 1. To provide more options, after the color is determined, the first cylinder 4 drives the long plate frame 5 to move down, so that the basket 31 falls into the corresponding dyeing vat body 23 for dyeing. After dyeing is completed, the basket 31 is lifted, and the second cylinder 81 is started to drive the moving plate 6 to move within the long plate frame 5, so that the basket 31 enters the water tank 91 through the rectangular opening 92. The two water pumps 94 are started to introduce water from the external water supply point into the water pipe 95, which is sprayed out from the two water spray plates 93. The water spray direction of the two water spray plates 93 is towards the basket 31 to rinse the multiple pieces in the basket 31. A drain pipe 95 is set at the bottom of the water tank 91 for drainage.

The staining machine body 1 is provided with a drive component 20 for adjusting the angle of the first cylinder 4.

[0035] Specifically, the first cylinder 4 rotates and adjusts, causing the basket 31 to move to the desired dyeing vat position. Six dyeing vat bodies 23 of different colors are set on the dyeing machine body 1 to provide more choices. After the color is determined, the first cylinder 4 drives the long plate frame 5 to move down, so that the basket 31 falls into the corresponding dyeing vat body 23 for dyeing. After dyeing is completed, the basket 31 is lifted up.

A pin 34 is fixedly installed at the opposite end of the two electric push rods 33. Insertion holes 35 that are compatible with the two pins 34 are opened on both sides of the basket 31.

[0039] It should be noted that multiple products are stored in the hanging basket 31, the top of the hanging basket 31 is inserted into the two alignment slots 7, and the two electric push rods 33 are started by using the operation screen on the dyeing machine body 1 to insert the pin 34 into the insertion hole 35, so that the hanging basket 31 can be quickly installed at the bottom of the moving plate 6.

[0040] The bottom of the movable plate 6 has two alignment slots 7, and the two sides of the top of the hanging basket 31 are respectively adapted to the two alignment slots 7;

[0041] The alignment groove 7 is provided for guiding the insertion of the suspended platform 31, which facilitates the subsequent insertion of the pin 34 into the socket 35, making it easier to install and use the suspended platform 31.

[0042] It also includes a pusher 8 for moving the basket 31. The pusher 8 includes a second cylinder 81 fixedly installed on the top of the long plate frame 5. A pusher 82 is fixedly installed on the extended end of the second cylinder 81. The pusher 82 is fixedly installed on the top of the moving plate 6.

A rectangular opening 92 is opened on one side of the water tank 91. Spray plates 93 are fixedly installed on both sides of the water tank 91. The surfaces of the two spray plates 93 are connected to a water pump 94 through water pipes 95. The two water pipes 95 are respectively connected to an external water supply.

[0045] The process involves placing the basket 31 into the water tank 91 through the rectangular opening 92, activating two water pumps 94 to introduce water into the water pipe 95 from the external water supply point, and spraying water from two spray plates 93. The spray direction of the two spray plates 93 is towards the basket 31 to rinse the multiple sheets inside the basket 31. A drain pipe 95 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 91 for drainage.

[0046] This device stores multiple products in a basket 31. The top of the basket 31 is inserted into two alignment slots 7. Using the operation panel on the dyeing machine body 1, two electric push rods 33 are activated, and the pins 34 are inserted into the insertion holes 35, allowing the basket 31 to be quickly installed at the bottom of the moving plate 6. The motor 202 is started, driving the drive gear 203 to rotate. The drive gear 203 meshes with the driven gear 204, causing the first cylinder 4 to rotate and adjust, moving the basket 31 to the desired dyeing vat position. The dyeing machine body 1 is equipped with six dyeing vat bodies 23 of different colors, providing more choices. After the color is determined, the first cylinder 4 drives the long plate frame 5 to move down, causing the basket 31 to fall into the corresponding dyeing vat body 23 for dyeing. After dyeing is completed, the basket 31 is lifted.
