Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and more specifically, to a novel glass slide transfer tray. Background Technology
[0002] In laboratories in the fields of biology, scientific research, and medicine, when observing the microscopic structure of biological samples such as tissues, cells, and microorganisms using microscopes, it is mostly necessary to fix the object being observed on a glass slide. In this process, the glass slide, as a carrier, carries a vast amount of information, much like the vast universe. However, a glass slide is a thin glass sheet with good light transmittance. Its disadvantage is that it is relatively fragile and easily broken. It is easily damaged by accidents such as collisions or drops during use or transportation. Damage to the glass slide is accompanied by the loss of precious experimental samples, and it is ultimately very regrettable that experimental results cannot be obtained.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN208291846U discloses "a slide turnover rack, belonging to the field of medical device technology. The slide turnover rack includes a tray with several slide placement slots arranged side-by-side. The width of the slide placement slots in the same row extends laterally along a straight line. Several guide grooves are horizontally opened on the tray, with one guide groove penetrating each slide placement slot in the same row. A vertically downward sliding groove is provided at each guide groove on the lateral side of the tray, and a sliding handle is slidably mounted on each groove. A top rod is horizontally arranged on each guide groove. When the sliding handle slides to the bottom of the slot, the top rod is inside the guide groove; when the sliding handle slides to the top of the slot, the top rod is above the opening of the slide placement slot. This invention eliminates the need to flip slides during turnover, saving turnover time and facilitating operation. It also reduces the risk of hand injuries when handling slides, ensuring safety and reliability." However, it still has the following drawbacks:
[0004] (1) When transporting slides over short distances, sudden changes in speed or direction during transport can cause slides in the tray to collide or fall due to inertia. Although slide drying boards or storage boards with special grooves are used to transport slides, this grooved design is still defective as it cannot be fixed and cannot completely prevent slides from slipping during collisions.
[0005] (2) When placing the slide, the groove directly contacts the slide without any protective measures, which can easily cause the slide to be scratched.
[0006] Therefore, we have made improvements and proposed a new type of glass slide transfer tray. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the current problem that during short-distance transport of glass slides, sudden changes in speed or direction during transportation can cause slides in the tray to collide or fall due to inertia. Although slide drying or storage boards with special grooves are used for transporting slides, this grooved design still has drawbacks as it cannot secure the slides and cannot completely prevent them from slipping during collisions. Furthermore, when placing the slides, the grooves are in direct contact with the slides without any protective measures, which can easily lead to the slides being scratched.
[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A new type of slide transfer tray is developed to address the aforementioned issues.
[0010] The present invention is as follows:
[0011] Includes a panel, the inside of which is provided a clamping assembly, and a protective assembly is provided on one side of the clamping assembly;
[0012] The clamping assembly includes a groove, an opening slot, a placement plate, a bracket, a rotating shaft, an action button, and an operating linkage. The groove is located at the top of the panel, and multiple opening slots are located on both sides of the panel. Two brackets are rotatably connected inside the groove. The rotating shaft is located on both sides of the bracket. The action button is located inside the opening slot. One end of the operating linkage is fixed below the action button. The placement plate is located inside the groove. The operating linkage is rotatably connected inside the groove. The rotating shafts on both sides of the two brackets are slidably connected to one side of the connecting rod.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the protective component includes a protective rubber pad and anti-collision corners. The protective rubber pad is disposed on the top of the placement plate, and the four anti-collision corners are disposed on the four outer corners of the panel.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the top of the panel is provided with a transparent cover for preventing external bacteria from contaminating the sample, the top of the transparent cover is provided with a lifting handle for lifting the transparent cover, and the four corners of the transparent cover are provided with magnets for magnetically attaching the transparent cover to the panel, and the magnets are magnetically connected to the top of the panel.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the two sides of the panel are provided with support plates for supporting the panel, the top of the support plate is provided with two grip grooves, the two grip grooves extend to the bottom of the panel, and the surface of the support plate is covered with a layer of rubber.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bottom of the transparent cover is provided with reinforcing columns for strengthening the pressure resistance of the panel, and a plurality of the reinforcing columns are inclinedly arranged at the bottom of the transparent cover.
[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a reinforcing plate for strengthening the panel is provided at the bottom of the panel. The two ends of the reinforcing plate are respectively fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the panel, and the bottom of the reinforcing plate is at the same level as the bottom of the panel.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bottom of the panel is provided with a support part for supporting the panel, and the bottom of the support part is provided with a plastic pad for cushioning the panel, and the bottom of the plastic pad is provided with an anti-slip groove.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0020] In the solution of this utility model:
[0021] 1. Through the designed clamping components, the following is achieved: The clamping components of the new slide transfer tray achieve stable clamping and convenient operation of the slides through a precise mechanical linkage design, ensuring that the slides will not shift or fall off due to vibration or bumps during the transfer process, greatly improving the safety and stability of the transfer. This solves the problem in the existing technology that when transferring slides over short distances, sudden changes in speed or direction during transportation can cause the slides in the tray to collide or fall due to inertia. Although slide drying plates or storage plates with special grooves are used to transfer slides, this grooved design still has defects because it cannot be fixed and cannot completely prevent the slides from slipping during collisions.
[0022] 2. By incorporating protective components, an additional protective layer is provided for the slides, effectively buffering potential collisions or impacts and protecting them from physical damage. Simultaneously, the overall impact resistance of the four corners of the panel is enhanced, maintaining the integrity of the tray structure even under external force, thus indirectly protecting the safety of the internal slides. These two components work together to provide comprehensive, multi-layered protection for slide transport, solving the problem in existing technologies where the grooves directly contact the slides without protection, easily leading to scratches.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0034] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0035] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0036] See Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0037] A novel glass slide transfer tray includes a panel 1, characterized in that a clamping component 2 is provided inside the panel 1, and a protective component 3 is provided on one side of the clamping component 2;
[0038] The clamping assembly 2 includes a groove 201, an opening slot 202, a placement plate 203, a bracket 204, a rotating shaft 205, an action button 206, and an operating linkage 207. The groove 201 is located on the top of the panel 1, and multiple opening slots 202 are located on both sides of the panel 1. Two brackets 204 are rotatably connected to the inside of the groove 201. The rotating shaft 205 is located on both sides of the bracket 204. The action button 206 is located inside the opening slot 202. One end of the operating linkage 207 is fixed below the action button 206. The placement plate 203 is located inside the groove 201. The operating linkage 207 is rotatably connected to the inside of the groove 201. The rotating shafts 205 on both sides of the two brackets 204 are slidably connected to one side of the connecting rod.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a transparent cover 4 is provided on the top of the panel 1 to prevent external bacteria from contaminating the sample. A lifting handle 5 is provided on the top of the transparent cover 4 for lifting the transparent cover 4. Magnets 6 are provided at the four corners of the transparent cover 4 to magnetically attach the transparent cover 4 to the panel. The magnets 6 are magnetically connected to the top of the panel 1.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, support plates 7 are provided on both sides of the panel 1 to support the panel 1. Two grip grooves 8 are provided on the top of the support plate 7 and extend to the bottom of the panel 1. The surface of the support plate 7 is covered with a layer of rubber.
[0041] By pressing the action button 206 located in the slots 202 on both sides of the panel 1, the operating linkage 207 rotates accordingly. A pivot 205 is located in the middle of the linkage. The operation button is mounted on the linkage. When the operation button is pressed, the linkage swings around the pivot 205. During this swinging motion, the linkage drives the slide holder 204 to swing via a sliding pair. A spring is installed below the action button 206 for the mechanism to reset, thereby clamping or releasing the slide placed on the placement plate 203. The slide falls below the upper surface of the device and is positioned within it by the slide holder 204. During temporary storage or transport, even in the event of a collision or tipping, the slide is effectively protected, preventing it from falling out and being damaged. The operation button will not be affected. The protruding upper surface of panel 1 is designed to prevent the button from being accidentally triggered when the tray is accidentally tipped over, thus releasing the clamped slide. In addition, the transparent cover 4 provides extra dust and contamination protection for the slide. The transparent cover 4 is magnetically connected to the top of panel 1 by magnet 6, making it easy for users to install or remove it at any time to check the slide. The lifting handle 5 on the top of the transparent cover 4 makes it easy for users to lift and move the entire tray. Finally, the support plates 7 on both sides of panel 1 provide extra support and stability for the tray, especially when it is necessary to handle or store larger samples such as panel 1. The grip groove 8 on the top of the support plate 7 extends to the bottom of panel 1, making it easy for users to hold and move the tray from both sides. At the same time, the rubber layer covering the surface of the support plate 7 increases the comfort of the grip and reduces slippage and friction during handling.
[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the protective component 3 includes a protective pad 301 and four anti-collision corners 302. The protective pad 301 is disposed on the top of the placement plate 203, and the four anti-collision corners 302 are disposed on the four outer corners of the panel 1.
[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a support part 11 for supporting the panel 1 is provided at the bottom of the panel 1, and a plastic pad 12 for cushioning the panel 1 is provided at the bottom of the support part 11. An anti-slip groove 13 is provided at the bottom of the plastic pad 12.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the transparent cover 4 is provided with reinforcing columns 9 for reinforcing the pressure of the panel 1, and multiple reinforcing columns 9 are inclinedly arranged at the bottom of the transparent cover 4.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing plate 10 is provided at the bottom of panel 1 to enhance the strength of panel 1. The two ends of the reinforcing plate 10 are fixedly connected to the inner side walls of panel 1, and the bottom of the reinforcing plate 10 is at the same level as the bottom of panel 1.
[0046] The combination of protective pads 301 and anti-collision corners 302 provides double protection for the glass slides, both internally and externally. Protective pads 301 directly cover the top of the placement plate 203, reducing direct contact between the glass slides and external hard objects, effectively buffering potential impacts and vibrations. Anti-collision corners 302 are installed at the four outer corners of the panel 1, serving as the first line of defense against accidental external impacts, ensuring the overall structure of the tray remains stable under impact, thus protecting the safety of the internal glass slides. The design of the support part 11 and the plastic pad 12 provides a stable support base for the tray and increases cushioning performance. The support part 11 is directly connected to the bottom of the panel 1, ensuring the tray remains level and stable when placed. The pad 12 is laid at the bottom of the support part 11. Its soft material can absorb the impact of uneven ground or slight vibration. At the same time, the anti-slip groove 13 design increases the friction between the pad and the placement surface, preventing the pallet from sliding during use. The reinforcing column 9 at the bottom of the transparent cover 4 and the reinforcing plate 10 at the bottom of the panel 1 work together to significantly improve the overall structural strength and pressure resistance of the pallet. The reinforcing column 9 is inclined at the bottom of the transparent cover 4, which not only enhances the stability of the transparent cover 4 itself, but also distributes the pressure to the panel 1 through its structural characteristics, further reinforcing the overall structure of the pallet. The reinforcing plate 10 provides a supporting structure for the bottom of the panel 1, effectively improving the rigidity and deformation resistance of the panel 1.
[0047] Specifically, in use, the user presses the action button 206 located in the slots 202 on both sides of the panel 1, and the operating linkage 207 rotates accordingly. There is a pivot 205 in the middle of the operating linkage. The operation button is installed together with the operating linkage. When the operation button is pressed, the operating linkage will swing around the pivot 205. When the operating linkage swings, it will drive the slide holder 204 to swing through the sliding pair. A spring is installed below the action button 206 for the mechanism to reset, thereby clamping or releasing the slides placed on the placement plate 203. The slides will fall below the upper surface of the device and be restricted in position by the slide holder 204. During temporary storage or transfer, even if a collision or overturning occurs, the slides can be effectively protected to prevent them from falling out and being damaged. The operation button will not protrude from the upper surface of the panel 1. This design can prevent the button from being accidentally triggered when the tray is accidentally overturned, and at this time, the slides in the clamped state will be released.
[0048] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0049] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
