Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of slide support frame, and in particular relates to a slide frame for a pathology slide scanner. Background Technology

[0002] When scanning pathological slides, high-resolution imaging of the tissue sections is required. This is where glass slides come in. Glass slides can stably support these ultra-thin tissue sections. By fixing the tissue sections on the glass slide, the sample can be prevented from moving or being damaged during scanning, thus ensuring the clarity and quality of the image. It is an indispensable tool in pathological diagnosis.

[0003] When a pathological slide is placed into the pathological slide scanner, multiple slides can be scanned simultaneously. The multiple pathological slides are placed sequentially on a slide holder and then fixed in place. The slide holder containing the slides is then installed inside the pathological slide scanner, which can then scan the pathological tissue on the slide.

[0004] During the above operation, when placing multiple pathological slides, it is necessary to fix each different pathological slide individually. It is not possible to fix all pathological slides at the same time. Therefore, it is inconvenient to fix multiple pathological slides at the same time during the operation, and fixing them is time-consuming and laborious. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a slide holder for a pathological slide scanner, which facilitates the simultaneous fixation of multiple slides.

[0006] The slide holder for the pathology slide scanner includes a rectangular support frame. The front sidewalls of both the left and right parts of the support frame are provided with a number of slots for inserting slides. The slots are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The front sidewalls of both the left and right parts of the support frame are provided with baffles. The left and right parts of the support frame are provided with limiting components for limiting the baffles at the positions of the slots.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting component includes two support boxes, each fixed to a support frame on the upper and lower sides of the baffle. Each support box contains a limiting block, and a through hole for the limiting block to pass through is provided on one side wall between the two support boxes. A spring is installed between the limiting block and the support box; in the spring's natural state, the through hole for the limiting block is located outside the support box. A pull rod is inserted into each spring. A through hole for the pull rod to pass through is provided on the support box. One end of the pull rod is fixed to the limiting block, and the other end passes through the through hole and is located outside the support box. A sliding groove for the baffle to slide left and right is provided on the support frame, and the baffle slides in a left-right sliding engagement with the sliding groove. The left side wall of each limiting block is inclined, and the top and bottom of the baffle are also inclined. The inclined surfaces on the limiting blocks and the inclined surfaces on the baffle are wedge-shaped.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the pull rods located on the outside of the support box is fixed with a handle.

[0009] Furthermore, a positioning block is fixed to one side wall between the two support boxes.

[0010] Furthermore, support plates are fixed to the front sidewalls of both the left and right parts of the support frame, and tension springs are installed between the support plates and the baffles.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the baffles is provided with a slot for inserting a finger.

[0012] Furthermore, a pull plate is fixed to the bottom of the support frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the pull plate is provided with a pull groove that connects the front and back.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention features a support frame with several slots for inserting glass slides on the front side walls of both the left and right sides. These slots are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Each of the left and right sides of the support frame has a baffle plate, and each side also has a limiting component for positioning the baffle plate within the slots. Therefore, by simultaneously blocking the slots with the limiting components and baffles, the glass slides are prevented from moving out of the slots, thus achieving the goal of simultaneously fixing multiple glass slides and avoiding the problem of inconvenience in simultaneously fixing multiple glass slides in existing technologies.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention. Example

[0021] The slide holder for a pathological section scanner described in this embodiment, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 1 has a rectangular structure. Several slots 2 for inserting glass slides 9 are provided on the front side walls of both the left and right sides of the support frame 1. These slots 2 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Because the support frame 1 has a rectangular structure, it is divided into four parts: top, bottom, left, and right. The left and right parts of the support frame 1 described in this design refer to the left and right sides of the support frame 1. The slots 2 are specifically designed according to... Figure 3 In the orientation of the support frame 1, the slot 2 on the left side has an "L" shaped cross-section, and the slot 2 on the right side has an opposite "L" shaped structure, with the two slots 2 facing each other. The top of the slot 2 is the opening position. Therefore, the left end of the slide 9 can be inserted into the slot 2 on the left side of the support frame 1, and the right end of the slide 9 can be inserted into the slot 2 on the right side of the support frame 1. Thus, by placing the left and right parts of the slide 9 into the slot 2, the slide 9 can be initially positioned. Because there are several slots 2, multiple slides 9 can be placed at the same time. Preferably, several slots 2 are arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom, which facilitates the neat arrangement of several slides 9. Preferably, the height of the slot 2 is the same as the thickness of the slide 9, and the side wall of the slide 9 contacts the groove wall of the slot 2, which makes the slide 9 more stably placed in the slot 2. When using, by holding the middle part of the slide 9, the end of the slide 9 can be placed in the slot 2 from the front side of the support frame 1.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, baffles 3 are provided on the front side walls of both the left and right parts of the support frame 1. Since several slots 2 are provided on both the left and right parts of the support frame 1 from top to bottom, the length of the baffle 3 is designed such that the length between the uppermost slot 2 and the lowermost slot 2 is less than the length of the baffle 3. Therefore, the baffle 3 on the left side can block all the slots 2 on the left side of the support frame 1 at the same time, and the baffle 3 on the right side can block all the slots 2 on the right side of the support frame 1 at the same time. When the baffle 3 blocks the position of the slots 2, it can prevent the end of the glass slide 9 from moving out of the slot 2.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, support boxes 7 are provided on both the left and right sides of the support frame 1. There are two support boxes 7, which are fixed to the support frame 1 on the upper and lower sides of the baffle 3 respectively. Each support box 7 is provided with a limit block 4. A through hole for the limit block 4 to pass through is opened on one side wall between the two support boxes 7. A spring 15 is installed between the limit block 4 and the support box 7. In the natural state, the through hole for the limit block 4 is located on the outside of the support box 7. A pull rod 5 is installed in each spring 15. A through hole for the pull rod 5 to pass through is opened on the support box 7. One end of the pull rod 5 is fixed to the limit block 4, and the other end passes through the through hole and is located on the outside of the support box 7. A through hole for the baffle 3 to pass through is opened on the support frame 1. The sliding groove, the baffle 3 and the sliding groove slide left and right; the left side wall of the limiting block 4 is inclined, the top and bottom of the baffle 3 are inclined; the inclined surface on the limiting block 4 and the inclined surface on the baffle 3 are wedge-shaped; this section of the scheme constitutes a limiting component for limiting the baffle 3 at the position of several slots 2; the interior of the support box 7 is hollow, and two support boxes 7 are provided for each baffle 3, the rear side wall of the support box 7 is fixed to the front side wall of the support frame 1; when a through hole is opened on one side wall between the two support boxes 7, the through hole on the upper support box 7 is located at its bottom, and the through hole on the lower support box 7 is located at its top; the through hole on the upper support box 7 is located at its bottom. The upper end of the spring 15 inside box 7 is fixed to the inner top of the support box 7, and its lower end is fixed to the top of the limiting block 4. Therefore, under the action of the spring 15, the limiting block 4 can be pushed downward, thereby pushing the limiting block 4 downward from the through hole position. The lower end of the spring 15 located inside the lower support box 7 is fixed to the inner bottom of the support box 7, and its upper end is fixed to the bottom of the limiting block 4. Therefore, under the action of the spring 15, the limiting block 4 can be pushed upward, thereby pushing the limiting block 4 upward from the through hole position. When the pull rod 5 is specifically installed, the through hole on the upper support box 7 is located at its top, and the through hole on the lower support box 7 is located at its bottom. The upper end of the pull rod 5 inside the side support box 7 protrudes through the through hole and is located above the support box 7, while its lower end is fixed to the top of the limiting block 4; the lower end of the pull rod 5 inside the lower side support box 7 protrudes through the through hole and is located below the support box 7, while its upper end is fixed to the bottom of the limiting block 4; therefore, by pulling the pull rod 5, the limiting block 4 can be moved, and the limiting block 4 can be pulled into the support box 7; the slide groove on the support frame 1 is preferably a trapezoidal groove, so that the baffle 3 can slide more stably left and right in the slide groove, and the baffle 3 can be limited in the slide groove, preventing the baffle 3 from falling out of the slide groove; the left limiting block 4 is located to the left of the left slot 2, and the right limiting block 4 is located to the right of the right slot 2;

[0024] In the specific implementation of the wedge fit, the wedge fit consists of a sliding fit composed of two sliders with inclined surfaces. The inclined surfaces of the two wedge blocks are in contact with each other. One slider moves along the X-axis, and the other slider moves along the Y-axis. When the two inclined surfaces slide relative to each other, a linear sliding motion is formed along the inclined surfaces. At this time, as... Figure 1 Taking the baffle 3 and limiting block 4 on the left side of the middle support frame 1 as an example, when the baffle 3 does not limit the glass slide 9 in the slot 2, the baffle 3 is located to the left of the limiting block 4. At this time, the contact surfaces of the baffle 3 and the limiting block 4 are both inclined, and the two inclined surfaces are in contact with each other. When the baffle 3 is pushed to the right, that is, moved along the X-axis, because the contact surfaces of the baffle 3 and the limiting block 4 are inclined, the baffle 3 can push the upper limiting block 4 upward, that is, moved along the Y-axis. Figure 2 As can be seen from the orientation, the baffle 3 can move from the left side of the limiting block 4 to the right side of the limiting block 4. Then, under the action of the spring 15, the limiting block 4 will be pushed back to its original state, preventing the baffle 3 from moving to the left. Therefore, the baffle 3 will be stuck on the right side of the limiting block 4. When the baffle 3 is on the right side of the limiting block 4, it can block the position of the slot 2, preventing the slide 9 from moving out of the slot 2 when it is placed inside. The principle of the baffles 3 on the left and right sides blocking the slot 2 is the same. In use, firstly... Figure 1 In the correct orientation, several glass slides 9 are placed sequentially into different slots 2. Then, the left and right side baffles 3 are pushed towards the glass slides 9. During this movement, the left side baffle 3 pushes the limiting block 4. When the baffle 3 passes the position of the limiting block 4, it blocks the opening of the slot 2, preventing the glass slides 9 from moving out of the slot 2. At the same time, the limiting block 4 returns to its original state under the action of the spring 15, preventing the baffle 3 from moving away from the slot 2. This achieves the purpose of fixing the glass slides 9. When it is necessary to remove the glass slides 9 from the slot 2, the handle 6 is pulled. 6 drives the limiting block 4 to move. When the limiting block 4 moves into the support box 7, the limiting block 4 no longer limits the position of the baffle 3. At this time, the baffle 3 can be moved away from the position of the slot 2. At this time, the baffle 3 no longer blocks the opening of the slot 2, and the glass slide 9 can be taken out from the slot 2. In this process of use, when the baffle 3 limits the glass slide 9 in the slot 2, by pulling the two baffles 3 to move relative to each other at the same time, the ends of all the glass slides 9 can be limited in the slot 2 at the same time, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing multiple glass slides 9 at the same time. Therefore, it avoids the problem of cumbersome operation caused by only being able to fix the glass slides 9 one by one in the prior art.

[0025] During implementation, a telescopic rod can also be installed between the limit block 4 and the support box 7 in the limit assembly, which can improve the stability of the limit block 4 when it moves.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, each of the pull rods 5 located on the outside of the support box 7 is fixed with a handle 6; the upper end of the upper pull rod 5 is fixed with a handle 6, and the lower end of the lower pull rod 5 is fixed with a handle 6; the design of the handle 6 makes it easier to pull the pull rod 5 to move, thereby making it easier to pull the limit block 4 to move.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a positioning block 8 is fixed to one side wall between the two support boxes 7. When the positioning block 8 is installed, when it corresponds to the two support boxes 7 on the left side baffle 3, the positioning block 8 is installed on the support box 7 on the right side of the limiting block 4; when it corresponds to the two support boxes 7 on the right side baffle 3, the positioning block 8 is installed on the support box 7 on the left side of the limiting block 4. In use, when the baffle 3 is pushed to the position of the slot 2, the baffles 3 on both the left and right sides can be clamped between the limiting block 4 and the positioning block 8. Therefore, the design of the positioning block 8 prevents the left baffle 3 from continuing to move to the right and the right baffle 3 from continuing to move to the left, so that the baffle 3 can more stably block the slot 2.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, support plates 11 are fixed on the front side walls of both the left and right parts of the support frame 1, and tension springs 10 are installed between the support plates 11 and the baffles 3. The support plate 11 on the left part of the support frame 1 is fixed on the support frame 1 to the left of the left baffle 3, and the support plate 11 on the right part of the support frame 1 is fixed on the support frame 1 to the right of the right baffle 3. Through the design of the tension springs 10, the tension spring 10 on the left can pull the left baffle 3 to the left, and the tension spring 10 on the right can pull the right baffle 3 to the right. Therefore, when the pull rod 5 is pulled to move the limiting block 4 into the support box 7, the tension spring 10 can pull the left baffle 3 to the left of the left limiting block 4 and the right baffle 3 to the right of the right limiting block 4, so that the baffle 3 can be quickly moved away from the position of the slot 2. When it is necessary to remove the glass slide 9 from the slot 2, it is not necessary to move the baffle 3 away from the position of the slot 2 by hand, which increases the practicality during use.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, each of the baffles 3 is provided with a slot 12 for inserting a finger. The slot 12 on the left baffle 3 is preferably located on its left side wall, and the slot 12 on the right baffle 3 is preferably located on its right side wall. The design of the slot 12 makes it easier to pull the baffle 3 towards the glass slide 9.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a pull plate 14 is fixed to the bottom of the support frame 1. The design of the pull plate 14 makes it easy to lift the support frame 1, the drive assembly and the baffle 3, so as to facilitate the movement of this design into the pathology slide scanner.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the pull plate 14 has a pull groove 13 that is open at both ends. The pull groove 13 makes it easier to operate the pull plate 14.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, mounting plates 16 are fixed on both the left and right sides of the support frame 1. The mounting plates 16 are used to install inside the pathology slide scanner. When the mounting plates 16 are installed inside the pathology slide scanner, for example, a sliding groove is opened inside the pathology slide scanner, and the mounting plates 16 act as a slider. Then, by snapping the mounting plates 16 into the sliding groove, the purpose of installing the mounting plates 16 inside the pathology slide scanner is achieved. After the mounting plates 16 are installed, it is convenient to install the slide holder in this design inside the pathology slide scanner. Subsequently, the scanning device inside the pathology slide scanner can scan and image the pathology slide tissue on the slide 9.

[0033] In practical use: First, place several glass slides 9 sequentially into the slots 2 on the left and right sides. Then, push the two baffles 3 towards the glass slides 9. As the baffles 3 are pushed, they can move the limiting blocks 4. After passing the position of the limiting blocks 4, the baffles 3, under the limitation of the limiting blocks 4, can block the slots 2, preventing the glass slides 9 from moving out of the slots 2, thus completing the fixed installation of the glass slides 9. Subsequently, this design is installed in a pathology slide scanner to complete the scanning and imaging of pathology tissue. After the scan is completed, this... The slide 9 is removed from the pathology slide scanner, and then the pull rod 5 is pulled to move the limiting block 4 into the support box 7. The limiting block 4 does not limit the baffle 3. At the same time, under the action of the tension spring 10, the baffle 3 is pulled away from the position of the slot 2, so the slide 9 can be taken out. In this process, the design of the baffle 3 allows multiple slots 2 to be blocked at the same time, which makes it easier to fix multiple slides 9 at the same time. Compared with the existing technology of fixing the slides 9 one by one, this design can fix the slides 9 more quickly and effortlessly.
