[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0028] Example:
[0029] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:
[0030] This invention provides a sperm counting plate with dual sperm counting chambers, including a base plate 11. A first counting chamber 12 and a second counting chamber 13 are formed on the top of the base plate 11. The presence of these two counting chambers allows the counting plate to simultaneously accept two sperm samples and perform the detection operation, thus solving the problem that traditional counting plates cannot process multiple sperm samples simultaneously. When faced with large-scale sperm testing tasks, this counting plate no longer needs to proceed with the testing process one sample at a time as in the traditional method, but can process two samples in parallel, improving the efficiency of the testing; in the first counting chamber 12... Both the first counting cell 12 and the second counting cell 13 are provided with a support component at their bottom. The support component includes a counting base plate 21. The bottom of both the first counting cell 12 and the second counting cell 13 are detachably connected to the counting base plate 21. A stage 22 for holding sperm samples is provided on the top of the counting base plate 21. In this way, the sperm samples can be placed stably on the stage 22 for subsequent testing. Both the first counting cell 12 and the second counting cell 13 are provided with a protective component at their top. The protective component includes a cover plate 31. The cover plate 31 is detachably installed on the top of both the first counting cell 12 and the second counting cell 13.
[0031] Please see as follows Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the supporting component also includes two sets of jaws 23. Rotary seats 24 are provided on both sides of the first counting pool 12 or the second counting pool 13. The rotating seats 24 are rotatably connected to the jaws 23 via shaft pins. Two sets of first slots 25 are formed on the bottom of the counting base plate 21 corresponding to the two sets of jaws 23. One end of each set of jaws 23 is detachably engaged in the first slot 25. A levering protrusion 26 is provided on one side of each set of jaws 23. When cleaning is required after testing, the operator can manually pull the jaws 23. The prying protrusion 26 on the top causes the claw 23 to rotate around the pivot pin on the rotating seat 24, thereby disengaging from the first slot 25 and releasing the fixation on the counting base plate 21. This allows the counting base plate 21 to be easily removed from the bottom of the counting chamber for cleaning. During this process, since there are two counting chambers, the other counting chamber can continue to perform sperm sample testing, and the entire testing process will not be interrupted. This avoids time loss due to cleaning the counting plate.
[0032] Please see as follows Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a coverslip 14 is provided on the top of the stage 22. In actual operation, the sperm sample can be dropped onto the stage 22 first, and then the coverslip 14 can be placed on the stage 22 to facilitate the placement and fixation of the sperm sample. When different sample processing is required, the operator can operate the two counting cells independently. For example, the sample can be processed using conventional staining methods in one counting cell, while the sample can be processed using a special fluorescent staining agent in the other counting cell for comparative analysis. A sealing ring 15 is provided between the counting base plate 21 and the first counting cell 12 or the second counting cell 13. The sealing ring 15 can prevent the sample from leaking in the counting cell. The cover plate 31 is made of optical glass, which can effectively protect the sperm sample in the counting cell from external contamination and interference, and ensure good light transmittance during microscopic observation or image acquisition by automated detection equipment, without affecting the accuracy of the detection results.
[0033] Please see as follows Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the protective assembly also includes a locking tongue 32. A second slot 33 is provided on the inner wall of either the first counting pool 12 or the second counting pool 13. A first mounting box 34 is provided at the bottom of the cover plate 31, and the locking tongue 32 is slidably disposed within the first mounting box 34. Two sets of locking posts 35 are also provided at the bottom of the cover plate 31. Two sets of locking holes are correspondingly provided on the inner wall of the other side of the first counting pool 12 or the second counting pool 13. The two sets of locking posts 35 are detachably locked into the two sets of locking holes. A first rack 37 and a guide rod 38 are fixedly connected to one side of the locking tongue 32. A guide block 39 is provided within the first mounting box 34. One end of the guide rod 38 slidably passes through a guide hole on the guide block 39. A spring 40 is fitted on the guide rod 38. One end of the spring 40 is connected to the guide block 39, and the other end is in contact with the locking tongue 32. When installing the cover plate 31, the locking pin 35 at the bottom of the cover plate 31 is aligned with the locking hole on the inner wall of the first counting cell 12 or the second counting cell 13 and inserted to fix the position of the cover plate 31. Then, one end of the locking tongue 32 is slid into the second locking groove 33 on the inner wall of the first counting cell 12 or the second counting cell 13 to further strengthen the connection between the cover plate 31 and the counting cell, maintain the stability of the cover plate 31, and prevent the cover plate 31 from shifting due to accidental collisions or internal shaking, thus preventing the sample detection from being affected by the displacement of the cover plate 31.
[0034] Please see as follows Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a second mounting box 41 is provided on the top of the cover plate 31. Gears 42 are installed inside both the first mounting box 34 and the second mounting box 41. The cover plate 31 has through holes communicating with the first mounting box 34 and the second mounting box 41. A connecting shaft 43 passes through the through holes, and both ends of the connecting shaft 43 are securely connected to two sets of gears 42 respectively. The first rack 37 meshes with one set of gears 42, while the other set of gears 42 meshes with the second rack 44. The top of the second mounting box 41 is also provided with a guide sliding block 45, and a groove 46 is provided on one side of the second rack 44. The guide sliding block 45 is slidably connected to the groove 46. The top of the second rack 44 is provided with a pull handle 47, and the top of the second mounting box 41 is provided with a sliding through groove 48 corresponding to the pull handle 47. When it is necessary to remove the cover plate 31, the operator manually pushes the pull handle 47. The pull handle 47 moves in a predetermined direction in the sliding through groove 48, thereby driving the second rack 44 along the groove 48. The guide sliding block 45 slides within the path defined by the slide groove 46. Since the second rack 44 meshes with one of the gears 42, the sliding of the second rack 44 will cause the meshing gear 42 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 42 will drive the other gear 42 to rotate synchronously through the connecting shaft 43. Since the other gear 42 meshes with the first rack 37, the first rack 37 will move along the direction of the guide rod 38 under the action of the rotation of the gear 42. Finally, the locking tongue 32 at one end of the first rack 37 will move along the guide rod 38, thereby releasing the connection between the locking tongue 32 and the second slot 33, realizing the disconnection between the cover plate 31 and the counting pool, so that the cover plate 31 can be removed smoothly. In order to facilitate the operator to push the pull handle 47 more easily, a first anti-slip pad 49 is provided on one side of the pull handle 47. The first anti-slip pad 49 can increase the friction between the hand and the pull handle 47 and prevent slippage during the pushing process.
[0035] Please see as follows Figure 2 As shown, both ends of the base plate 11 are provided with support plates 16, and the top and bottom of these two sets of support plates 16 are provided with second anti-slip pads 17, which enhances the stability when picking up the counting plate.
