[0034] The front end of the driving linear module 702 is fixedly provided with a gripper 703 capable of moving along it, the gripper 703 can extend into the feeding rack 2 or the feeding rack 8 to grab the glass slide 3, the gripper 703 is fixedly provided with a positioning tray 704 matched with the glass slide 3, the positioning tray 704 is provided with a protruding portion 705 at the four corners, the positioning tray 704 can fix and position the glass slide 3 entering the gripper 703, and the protruding portion 705 can prevent the glass slide 3 from falling, so the height of the protruding portion 705 should be greater than the thickness of the glass slide 3.

[0035] The upper end face of the bottom plate 1 is further fixedly provided with a feeding rack 8 for placing the glass slide 3 transferred by the mechanical hand 7, and the feeding rack 8 has the same structure as the feeding rack 2.

[0036] Based on the purpose of the embodiment, a pollen collecting pipe and a detection device 6 for detecting the collected pollen are further installed on the upper end face of the bottom plate 1, wherein the pollen collecting pipe collects pollen in the following way: pollen and wind enter from the inlet at the top of the pollen collecting pipe, under the action of the force and airflow generated by the wind, the pollen falls along the pollen collecting pipe and enters the bottom of the pollen collecting pipe; wherein the detection device 6 is disclosed in the prior art, and its content is disclosed in Chinese patent application No. CN118050531A, which will not be repeated here.

[0037] The bottom plate 1 is further provided with a heating device 5 for heating the slide 3. The heating device 5 is heated by the electric heating wire 501 arranged at the bottom thereof and connected with the external power supply. Specifically, the heating device 5 holds the powder collecting tube. Specifically, the heating table 500 of the heating device 5 is arranged directly below the bottom of the powder collecting tube. The purpose of the heating device 5 is to collect the pollen on the slide 3. More specifically, the slide 3 is coated with gelatin 4 on the surface thereof, and the gelatin 4 can be melted at a certain temperature. After the gelatin 4 is heated and melted, the pollen falling from the powder collecting tube can be adsorbed by the melted pollen, so that the pollen is adsorbed on the slide 3, thereby realizing the collection of the pollen on the slide 3.

[0038] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:

[0039] The slide 3 is placed on the feeding frame 2. The lifting table 701 is moved along the sliding table 700 to the position aligned with the feeding frame 2. The driving linear module 702 is driven to move up and down along the lifting table 701 to the position aligned with the gripping hand 703 and the feeding frame 2. The position of the gripping hand 703 is adjusted so that the gripping hand 703 can extend into the bottom of the lowest layer of the slide 3 of the feeding frame 2. The gripping hand 703 is moved upward. The positioning tray pushes the slide 3 upward. The four corners of the slide 3 fall into the space formed by the four protruding parts 705. The gripping hand 703 holds the slide 3. The gripping hand 703 is moved downward and outward in sequence. The lifting table 701 is moved along the sliding table 700 to the position aligned with the powder collecting tube. The driving linear module 702 is driven to move up and down along the lifting table 701 to the position aligned with the gripping hand 703 and the heating device 5. The position of the gripping hand 703 is adjusted. The gripping hand 703 holding the slide 3 is placed on the heating table 500 to perform the powder collecting action. After the powder collecting action is completed, the lifting table 701 is moved along the sliding table 700 to the position aligned with the detection device 6. The driving linear module 702 is driven to move up and down along the lifting table 701 to the position aligned with the gripping hand 703 and the detection device 6. The position of the gripping hand 703 is adjusted. The slide 3 after being heated is placed on the detection device 6 to perform the detection action. After the detection action is completed, the lifting table 701 is moved along the sliding table 700 to the position aligned with the feeding frame 8. The driving linear module 702 is driven to move up and down along the lifting table 701 to the position aligned with the gripping hand 703 and the feeding frame 8. The position of the gripping hand 703 is adjusted so that the gripping hand 703 can extend into the bottom of the positioning groove 201 of the uppermost layer of the slide 3 of the feeding frame 8. The slide 3 after being detected is moved upward so as to fall into the positioning groove 201. The gripping hand 703 is moved downward and outward in sequence. The slide 3 after being detected is fed. The lifting table 701 is moved again. The above process is repeated. The feeding, powder collecting, detection and feeding of the next slide 3 can be completed. The above process is completed automatically without manual operation, which greatly improves the work efficiency.

[0040] Further, the side of the positioning groove 201 is provided with a sliding groove 202 with the same width as the positioning groove 201. The design of the sliding groove 202 can provide a buffer for the extension of the handle 703 into the unloading rack 2 or the feeding rack 8, and the handle 703 will not directly contact the slide glass 3, thereby reducing the damage of the slide glass 3 and maintaining the integrity of the slide glass 3.

[0041] Further, the center of the handle 703 and the positioning tray 704 is hollow. Since the slide glass 3 with pollen adsorbed needs to be placed on the detection table 600 of the detection device 6 when the detection device 6 detects, the hollow design of the center of the handle 703 and the positioning tray 704 facilitates this function and does not require manual taking.

[0042] Further, the bottom plate 1 is fixedly installed with a first lifting cylinder 9 near one end close to the unloading rack 2, which can drive the unloading rack 2 to move up and down. The first lifting cylinder 9 is fixedly connected with the unloading rack 2. When the handle 703 cannot directly extend into the bottom of the slide glass 3 on the unloading rack 2, the unloading rack 2 can be moved up and down by the first lifting cylinder 9. Similarly, the bottom plate 1 is fixedly installed with a second lifting cylinder 10 near one end close to the feeding rack 8, which can drive the feeding rack 8 to move up and down. The second lifting cylinder 10 is fixedly connected with the feeding rack 8. When the handle 703 cannot directly extend into the positioning groove 201 of the slide glass 3 in the feeding rack 8 after detection, the feeding rack 8 can be moved up and down by the second lifting cylinder 10.

[0043] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Any technical solutions falling within the concept of the present application shall be within the protection scope of the present application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, some improvements and decorations without departing from the principles of the present application shall also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
