Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pathological slide drying technology, and in particular to a pathological slide drying cabinet that effectively utilizes space and removes odors. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pathology slides are preserved by first drying them on a slide-setting plate for a period of time to allow the resin on the slides to fully solidify and prevent the coverslips from falling off. After drying, the slides are then transferred to a storage cabinet for long-term preservation.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent publication number CN218629196U, which discloses a drying cabinet for drying pathological slides, comprising: a cabinet body with multiple parallel cavities; a drawer that extends into the cavity and is movably connected to the cabinet body; and a divider that is disposed inside the drawer.

[0004] The patented separator has multiple cavities or slots for separating pathology slides. In use, the drawer is opened, and the observed pathology slides are placed in the cavities or slots of the separator, one slide in each cavity or slot. The separator separates the slide rack, allowing the slides to dry in the drawer. If the mounting medium of the slide is not completely dry, the separator prevents the coverslip from moving, thus avoiding damage to the coverslip. Even if the coverslip moves, the separator effectively separates the slides, preventing adjacent slides from sticking together. However, pathology slides come in various sizes, including non-standard sizes. The fixed size of the cavities or slots in the separator cannot meet the drying needs of pathology slides of various sizes. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A space-efficient and odor-eliminating drying cabinet for pathological slides, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the device includes a cabinet body 1, with a cabinet door on one side. Multiple sliding grooves 6 are formed on the inner wall of the cabinet body 1, arranged in a straight line on the same side. Two opposing sliding grooves 6 are slidably connected to the same support frame 7. Multiple partition plates 9 are provided on the inner wall of the support frame 7. Multiple limiting grooves 10 are provided on the outer walls of the partition plates 9 and on the inner wall of the support frame 7 opposite to the outer walls of the partition plates 9. One partition plate 9 slides in contact with the inner wall of the support frame 7. A guide groove 11 is formed on the bottom outer wall of the support frame 7. A wing bolt 12 is threaded to the bottom end of the partition plate 9, sliding in contact with the inner wall of the guide groove 11. A washer 13 is fitted on the outer wall of the wing bolt 12, contacting the bottom outer wall of the support frame 7.

[0028] An air inlet 2 is provided on the bottom side wall of the cabinet 1. A filter plate 4 is fixed on the inner wall of the air inlet 2. An exhaust fan 5 is installed on the inner wall of the air inlet 2. An air outlet 3 is provided on the top outer wall of the cabinet 1. A filter screen 15 and an activated carbon plate 14 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top on the inner wall of the air outlet 3. Another exhaust fan 5 is installed on the inner wall of the air outlet 3, which is located above the activated carbon plate 14. VOC concentration detection sensors 8 are installed on the inner wall of the air outlet 3 located above the activated carbon plate 14 and on the inner wall of the top of the cabinet 1. The VOC concentration detection sensor 8 for detecting the concentration of harmful gases is a mature existing technology. Those skilled in the art are familiar with its basic structure and working principle, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0029] In use, the support frame 7 is pulled out from the sliding groove 6, and then the wing bolt 12 is turned so that the end of the wing bolt 12 moves downward, reducing the pressure of the wing bolt 12 on the gasket 13 and releasing the compression fixation on the partition plate 9. At this time, the partition plate 9 can be slid along the inner wall of the support frame 7 to change the distance between the partition plate 9 and the adjacent partition plate 9, so that glass slides of different sizes can be placed in the limiting groove 10. Then, the wing bolt 12 is turned in the opposite direction to press the gasket 13 and fix the partition plate 9. During the drying process, the VOC concentration detection sensor 8 installed inside the cabinet 1 detects the concentration of volatile chemical substances inside the cabinet 1 and controls the emission. The speed of exhaust fan 5 decreases when the concentration of volatile chemicals is low, saving energy and reducing noise. When the concentration of volatile chemicals is high, the speed of exhaust fan 5 increases, increasing the air volume and expelling chemicals more quickly. Activated carbon plate 14 and filter screen 15 filter and purify the gas discharged from air outlet 3, reducing odor inside cabinet 1. VOC concentration detection sensor 8 installed in air outlet 3 detects the concentration of volatile chemicals in the gas discharged from air outlet 3. If the concentration exceeds the emission standard, it indicates that the activated carbon plate 14 and filter screen 15 installed in air outlet 3 have a problem and need to be replaced.

[0030] By providing guide grooves 11, wing bolts 12, and washers 13, the distance between adjacent partitions 9 can be adjusted, allowing for the placement of glass slides of different sizes and effectively utilizing the space in the cabinet 1.

[0031] By incorporating a VOC concentration detection sensor 8, the speed of the exhaust fan 5 can be controlled based on the concentration of volatile chemicals inside the cabinet 1 during the drying process, thus saving energy.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] A pathological slide drying cabinet that effectively utilizes space and deodorizes is described in this embodiment, which makes the following improvements based on Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a blower box 16 is fixed to the top outer wall of one side of the cabinet door of the cabinet body 1, and an extraction box 17 opposite to the blower box 16 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the cabinet body 1. An axial flow high-speed fan 19 is installed at one end of the blower box 16, and a connecting pipe 18 is connected to the suction end of the axial flow high-speed fan 19. The other end of the connecting pipe 18 is connected to the extraction box 17. A flow slit is opened on the outer wall of the opposite side of the blower box 16 and the extraction box 17. A micro switch is provided on the contact surface between the cabinet door and the cabinet body 1.

[0034] The opening and closing of the cabinet door of cabinet 1 is detected by a micro switch. When the cabinet door is opened, the axial flow high-speed fan 19 starts, draws air through the air extraction box 17, and then blows high-speed airflow downward from the flow gap of the blower box 16, forming an "air curtain" at the cabinet door of cabinet 1, reducing the gas exchange between cabinet 1 and the external environment, and preventing the gas in cabinet 1 from escaping outward.

[0035] By setting up a blower box 16, an extraction box 17, a connecting pipe 18, and an axial high-speed fan 19, an "air curtain" is formed at the cabinet door of the cabinet 1 when the cabinet door is opened, reducing the gas exchange between the cabinet 1 and the external environment and preventing the gas in the cabinet 1 from escaping outward.

[0036] Working principle: During use, the support frame 7 is pulled out from the sliding groove 6, and then the wing bolt 12 is turned to move the end of the wing bolt 12 downward, reducing the pressure of the wing bolt 12 on the gasket 13 and releasing the compression fixation on the partition plate 9. At this time, the partition plate 9 can be slid along the inner wall of the support frame 7 to change the distance between the partition plate 9 and the adjacent partition plate 9, so that glass slides of different sizes can be placed in the limiting groove 10. Then, the wing bolt 12 is turned in the opposite direction to press the gasket 13 and fix the partition plate 9. During the drying process, the VOC concentration detection sensor 8 installed inside the cabinet 1 detects the concentration of volatile chemical substances inside the cabinet 1 and controls the speed of the exhaust fan 5. When the concentration of volatile chemical substances is low, the speed of the exhaust fan 5 is reduced to save energy and reduce noise. When the temperature is high, the speed of the exhaust fan 5 increases, increasing the exhaust volume and expelling chemical substances more quickly. The activated carbon plate 14 and filter screen 15 filter and purify the gas discharged from the air outlet 3. The VOC concentration detection sensor 8 installed in the air outlet 3 detects the concentration of volatile chemical substances contained in the gas discharged from the air outlet 3. If the concentration exceeds the emission standard, it indicates that the activated carbon plate 14 and filter screen 15 installed in the air outlet 3 have a problem and need to be replaced. The opening and closing of the cabinet door of the cabinet 1 is detected by a micro switch. When the cabinet door is opened, the axial flow high-speed fan 19 starts, draws air through the air extraction box 17, and then blows a high-speed airflow downward from the flow gap of the blower box 16, forming an "air curtain" at the cabinet door of the cabinet 1, reducing the gas exchange between the cabinet 1 and the external environment and preventing the gas in the cabinet 1 from escaping.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
