Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning technology for slide spreaders, and in particular to a device for cleaning wax debris from a pathology slide spreader. Background Technology

[0002] In the daily work of the pathology department, the slide plate is an important piece of equipment used to prepare pathological slides. During the slide preparation process, paraffin inevitably remains on the surface of the slide plate, forming wax debris. If this wax debris is not cleaned in time, it will affect the normal operation of the slide plate, causing equipment failure and reducing work efficiency. On the other hand, the residual wax debris may mix into subsequent slide samples, interfering with the accuracy of pathological diagnosis and seriously affecting medical work. Traditional cleaning methods are mostly manual wiping, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to completely remove stubborn wax debris. At the same time, it may also damage the slide plate due to improper manual operation. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an efficient, convenient and accurate device for cleaning wax debris. This is the important background for the development of the wax debris cleaning device for the slide plate in our pathology department. Utility Model Content

[0026] Reference Figure 1-5This utility model discloses a wax debris cleaning device for a pathology slide spreader, comprising a base 1, a slide spreader body 2 placed on the upper surface of the base 1, a first drive motor 6 fixedly connected to the front end of the base 1, a first threaded rod 5 fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor 6, a guide rod 9 threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first threaded rod 5, the outer surface of the guide rod 9 being slidably connected to the base 1 through a guide groove 4, a cleaning frame 3 fixedly connected to the front surface of the guide rod 9, a guide rail 13 fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the cleaning frame 3, the inner wall of the guide rail 13 being slidably connected to a slider 14, pulleys 8 symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the cleaning frame 3, the outer surface of the pulleys 8 being rotatably connected to the base 1 through a guide rail, and a heating plate 24 fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the cleaning frame 3, the input end of the heating plate 24 being electrically connected to an external power source.

[0027] A third drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cleaning rack 3. A rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third drive motor 11. A fan blade 12 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating shaft 10. The input end of the third drive motor 11 is electrically connected to an external power supply. There are two third drive motors 11, which are symmetrically distributed. A second drive motor 7 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the cleaning rack 3. A second threaded rod 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor 7. A slider 14 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the second threaded rod 15. An electric telescopic rod 1 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slider 14. 6. A threaded head 17 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the electric telescopic rod 16. A connector 18 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded head 17. A cotton cloth bag 19 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connector 18. A groove 20 is provided inside the threaded head 17. A button 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 20. The outer surface of the button 22 contacts the connector 18 through a sliding hole 23. A spring 21 is placed on the inner wall of the groove 20. The two ends of the spring 21 contact the button 22. The input end of the first drive motor 6 is electrically connected to an external power supply. The input end of the second drive motor 7 is electrically connected to an external power supply.

[0028] Working principle: When it is necessary to clean the wax residue from the main body 2 of the sheet spreader, the first drive motor 6 at the front end of the base 1 is started. The output end of the first drive motor 6 drives the first threaded rod 5 to rotate. Since the first threaded rod 5 is threadedly connected to the guide rod 9, and the guide rod 9 is slidably connected to the base 1 through the guide groove 4, under the action of threaded transmission, the guide rod 9 will drive the cleaning frame 3 fixed on its front surface to move horizontally on the base 1. By controlling the rotation direction and number of rotations of the first drive motor 6, the cleaning frame 3 is moved to a suitable position to be cleaned on the main body 2 of the sheet spreader. At the same time, the pulleys 8 symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the cleaning frame 3 roll on the slide rail, making the movement of the cleaning frame 3 smoother. After the cleaning frame 3 reaches the appropriate position, the heating plate 24 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the cleaning frame 3 is started. After the heating plate 24 is connected to the external power supply, it begins to heat up. The heat it emits is transferred to the surface of the main body 2 of the sheet spreader. In order to improve the transfer rate, the fan blades 12 are driven by the third drive motor 11 to make the hot air reach the lower part, so that the paraffin attached to the lower end is heated and melted into a liquid state, which facilitates the subsequent cleaning operation.

[0029] The electric telescopic rod 16, fixed to the lower surface of the slider 14, is activated. The electric telescopic rod 16 extends, causing the cotton cloth bag 19, whose lower end is threadedly connected, to move downwards until the cotton cloth bag 19 contacts the melted paraffin wax on the surface of the sheet spreader body 2. Next, the second drive motor 7 on the side surface of the cleaning frame 3 is activated. The output end of the second drive motor 7 drives the second threaded rod 15 to rotate. Because the second threaded rod 15 is threadedly connected to the slider 14, and the slider 14 is slidably connected to the guide rail 13 on the top inner wall of the cleaning frame 3, under the guidance of the threaded drive and the guide rail 13, the slider 14 will... The second threaded rod 15 moves laterally, thereby driving the electric telescopic rod 16 and the cotton cloth bag 19 to move laterally on the surface of the spreader body 2 to wipe and clean the liquid paraffin. While the second drive motor 7 drives the cotton cloth bag 19 to wipe laterally, the first drive motor 6 continues to run, causing the cleaning frame 3 to move forward on the base 1 along the first threaded rod 5. In this way, in addition to wiping laterally, the cotton cloth bag 19 can also thoroughly clean the wax debris at different positions of the spreader body 2 as the cleaning frame 3 moves forward, until the wax debris in the spreader is completely cleaned.

[0030] After cleaning away the wax residue, first turn off the heating plate 24 to stop heating. At this time, the liquid paraffin adhering to the cotton cloth bag 19 will gradually cool and solidify under natural conditions. The operator presses the button 22 in the groove 20 inside the threaded head 17 to compress the spring 21, causing the button 22 to separate from the engaging structure of the connector 18. Then, the connector 18 and the cotton cloth bag 19 can be rotated and quickly removed for cleaning or replacement with a new cotton cloth bag 19 for the next cleaning.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
