Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biological experimental equipment technology, specifically to a staining agent usage prompt device. Background Technology

[0002] The microbiology and pathology testing process involves staining and slide preparation. This process requires the use of staining agents. Once used, the shelf life of the staining agents stored in the bottles is greatly shortened. Furthermore, the time it takes for a whole bottle of staining agents to be used up varies depending on the department's testing workload. If the opening date is not marked in time, there may be cases where the staining agents are used up and still in use, which will affect the quality of the test. In addition, there may be cases where the staining agents are used up and then requisitioned, which will affect the testing time limit.

[0003] To avoid the above problems, the experimenters now manually mark the opening date on the bottle as a reminder. However, there are often cases where the bottle is not marked in time or is forgotten after it has been used. In addition, since the usage frequency of each dye is different, when some dyes are used up, there are still a lot of other dyes left, making it impossible to control the amount of dye used in time. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dye usage reminder device to solve the problems of people easily forgetting to mark the opening date of the dye bottle and being unable to monitor the remaining amount of dye.

[0005] To address the above issues, the following technical solution is provided:

[0006] A dye usage prompting device includes a reagent box with several placement slots, each slot housing an infrared photoelectric liquid level sensor. A digital display screen is located on the front of the reagent box, and a controller is located on one side of the reagent box. The controller contains a timing module and is electrically connected to the infrared photoelectric liquid level sensor and the digital display screen.

[0007] The basic principle of the above technical solution is as follows: the dye bottle containing the dye is placed in the placement tank, the timing module in the controller can record the date on which the dye bottle is first placed in the placement tank, that is, the date of opening the bottle, the infrared photoelectric liquid level sensor can monitor the remaining amount of dye in the dye bottle at any time, and the recorded date and the remaining amount of dye will be displayed on the digital display screen to remind the experimenter at any time.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: Compared with the existing method of manually recording the opening time of the dye bottle, which is prone to failure to mark or forgetting to mark, this technical solution uses a controller in conjunction with a timing module and an infrared photoelectric liquid level sensor to intelligently record the opening date of the dye bottle and the remaining amount of dye. It can more accurately monitor the amount of dye used in the dye bottle and display it on the digital display screen to promptly remind the experimenter. This effectively avoids the occurrence of failure to mark or forgetting to mark, and also avoids the problem of expired dye or failure to replace it in time after use.

[0009] Furthermore, each placement slot has a recess at the center of its bottom, in which an electric telescopic push rod is installed. The electric telescopic push rod is electrically connected to the controller. The timing module in the controller records the opening date of the dye bottle and its expiration date. When the expiration date is reached, the timing module transmits the recorded time signal to the controller, which then controls the electric telescopic push rod to move upward, lifting the dye bottle in the placement slot and prompting the experimenter to replace it.

[0010] Furthermore, the reagent box is equipped with buttons for controlling the digital display screen and the controller to turn on and off. Pressing the buttons allows for convenient control of whether the digital display screen and the controller are in operation.

[0011] Furthermore, a weighing sensor is installed at the bottom of the placement tank, positioned above the electric telescopic push rod, and electrically connected to the controller. The weighing sensor measures the weight of the dye bottle, while the infrared photoelectric liquid level sensor scans the liquid level of the dye in the bottle. The linkage between the infrared photoelectric liquid level sensor and the controller allows for accurate and automatic identification of the remaining amount of dye in the bottle after each removal, displaying the information on the digital display screen in real time.

[0012] Furthermore, the reagent box has an upward-extending backing plate on one side, with its edge flush with the edge of the placement slot. An infrared photoelectric liquid level sensor extends beyond the placement slot and rests against the backing plate. This extension of the infrared photoelectric liquid level sensor ensures that it can completely scan the liquid level of the dye in bottles of different heights.

[0013] Furthermore, the digital display screen is equipped with indicator lights that can display multiple colors, and these indicator lights are electrically connected to the controller. The controller controls the indicator lights to display different colors to provide prompts based on the received remaining dye level. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0018] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown:

[0019] A dye usage prompting device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the reagent box 1 includes four equidistantly arranged placement slots 2, each equipped with an infrared photoelectric liquid level sensor 3. A backing plate 4 extends upwards from the rear of the reagent box 1, its edge flush with the edge of the placement slot 2. The infrared photoelectric liquid level sensors 3 extend beyond the placement slots 2 and rest against the backing plate 4. A digital display screen 5 is located on the front of the reagent box 1, displaying indicator lights that can show red, green, and blue colors. Red indicates a replacement prompt; blue indicates a warning; and green indicates normal operation. A controller 6 is located on the right side of the reagent box 1, containing a timing module. A button 7, located on the top of the digital display screen 5, controls the opening and closing of the digital display screen 5 and the controller 6. Figure 2 As shown, each placement slot 2 has a recess in the center of its bottom, in which an electric telescopic push rod 8 is placed. A weighing sensor 9, located in the placement slot 2, is mounted on the electric telescopic push rod 8. The electric telescopic push rod 8, the infrared photoelectric liquid level sensor 3, the digital display screen 5, and the weighing sensor 9 are all electrically connected to the controller 6.

[0020] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0021] The dye bottle containing the dye is placed in the placement slot 2. The timing module in the controller 6 can record the date on which the dye bottle is first placed in the placement slot 2, that is, the date of opening, and record the expiration date of three months. When the expiration date is reached, the timing module transmits the recorded time signal to the controller 6. The controller 6 controls the electric telescopic push rod 8 to move upward to lift the dye bottle in the placement slot 2, prompting the experimenter to replace it. Simultaneously, the weighing sensor 9 weighs the dye bottle, and the infrared photoelectric level sensor 3 scans the level of the dye in the bottle. The infrared photoelectric level sensor 3 and the weighing sensor 9 are linked with the controller 6 to monitor the remaining amount of dye in the bottle at any time. The recorded date and the remaining amount of dye are displayed on the digital display screen 5. The remaining amount is displayed as a percentage. When the remaining amount is above 80%, the digital display screen 5 displays green; when it is below 80%, it displays blue; and when it is below 5%, it displays red, which alerts the experimenter at any time. When the digital display screen 5 displays red, it also transmits the information to the controller 6. The controller 6 controls the electric telescopic push rod 8 to move upward to lift the dye bottle in the placement tank 2, prompting the experimenter to replace it. This device uses a controller 6 in conjunction with a timing module and an infrared photoelectric liquid level sensor 3 to intelligently record the opening date of the dye bottle and the remaining amount of dye in it. It can accurately monitor the amount of dye used in the dye bottle and display it on the digital display screen 5 to promptly remind the experimenter. This effectively avoids situations where the dye is not marked in time or is forgotten to be marked, and also avoids the problem of expired dye or dye not being replaced in time after use.
