[0024] An automated liquid-based cell slide preparation machine includes: a slide preparation machine body 1, a transfer assembly 9, a placement plate 10, and glass slides 11. The slide preparation machine body 1 is rotatably connected to an opening and closing door 2, which has an observation window 14. An extension plate 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide preparation machine body 1, and a moving assembly 4 is provided on the extension plate 3. A lifting platform 5 is slidably connected to the moving assembly 4, and a sampling section 6 is provided on the lifting platform 5. A first closed door 7 and a second closed door 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the slide preparation machine body 1. A sample area 8 is provided on the inner wall of the slide preparation machine body 1 near the first closed door 7. Two sets of transfer assemblies 9 are provided. The glass slides 11 are placed on the placement plate 10. An auxiliary positioning assembly 12 is provided inside the slide preparation machine body 1.

[0025] Open the opening and closing door 2, fix the corresponding number of glass slides 11 on the placement plate 10, and finally place them on the transfer assembly 9. Close the opening and closing door 2. After the first closed door 7 is opened, the sample in the sample area 8 can be replaced. After the moving assembly 4 controls the sampling unit 6 to take a sample in the sample area 8, the auxiliary positioning assembly 12 fixes the placement plate 10 and raises it to a suitable height. The sampling unit 6 drops the sample onto the glass slide 11. Then the auxiliary positioning assembly 12 descends and places the placement plate 10 back on the transfer assembly 9. When it is transferred to the second closed door 13, open the second closed door 13 and take it away. The observation window 14 allows the operator to observe the internal working status in real time during the operation of the equipment, which not only ensures the sealing of the equipment operating environment, but also avoids temperature or cleanliness fluctuations caused by frequent opening of the door.

[0026] The moving component 4 includes a first sliding rail 41, a crossbar 42 slidably connected to the first sliding rail 41, a second sliding rail 43 provided on the crossbar 42, a mounting plate 44 slidably connected to the second sliding rail 43, a third sliding rail 45 provided on the mounting plate 44, and the lifting platform 5 slidably connected to the third sliding rail 45.

[0027] The combined structure of the extension plate 3 and the moving component 4 provides a flexible three-axis motion path for the lifting platform 5 and the sampling unit 6 through a multi-dimensional sliding connection method (first sliding rail 41, second sliding rail 43, and third sliding rail 45), enabling the sampling unit 6 to accurately cover the entire space from the sample area to the slide placement area.

[0028] The sampling unit 6 includes a fixed base 61, on which multiple sets of extraction needles 62 are provided. The lower part of the extraction needle 62 is provided with an extraction needle 63, and the upper part of the extraction needle 62 is provided with a micro extraction pump 64.

[0029] The sampling unit 6, through the combination of multiple sets of extraction needles 62 and micro extraction pumps 64 integrated by the fixed base 61, can complete the parallel processing of multiple samples in a single operation, achieving highly repeatable transfer of micro-samples.

[0030] The sample area 8 includes a sliding frame 81, on which a support plate 82 is slidably connected. Multiple sets of sample tubes 83 are arranged on the support plate 82 at equal intervals, and the positions of the sample tubes 83 correspond to the extraction needle tubes 62.

[0031] The sample area 8 adopts a sliding fit design between the sliding frame 81 and the support plate 82, which allows the sample tube 83 to be quickly loaded or removed as a whole from the first closed door 7.

[0032] The transfer assembly 9 includes a base plate 91, on which a drive component 92 and a transfer track 93 are provided. A sliding seat 94 is slidably connected to the transfer track 93. A support block 95 is provided on the sliding seat 94. The placement plate 10 is placed on the support block 95. The side of the support block 95 that contacts the placement plate 10 is provided with anti-slip texture 96.

[0033] The transfer assembly 9, through the coordinated action of the drive component 92 and the transfer track 93, realizes the automated transfer of the placement plate 10 inside and outside the equipment. The dual protection mechanism of the sliding seat 94 and the anti-slip texture 96 of the transfer assembly 9 not only enhances the stability of the glass slide placement plate 10 during movement, but also avoids the glass slide 11 from shifting due to vibration.

[0034] The auxiliary positioning component 12 includes a lifting push rod 121 and a moving block 126. The end of the lifting push rod 121 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 122. The mounting plate 122 is provided with a drive motor 123, a lead screw 124 and a sliding rod 125. The moving block 126 is sleeved on the lead screw 124 and the sliding rod 125. An L-shaped clamping plate 127 is fixedly connected to the moving block 126. The L-shaped clamping plate 127 corresponds to the placement plate 10.

[0035] The auxiliary positioning component 12 adopts a combined drive method of lead screw transmission and lifting push rod. The L-shaped clamping plate 127 clamps and raises and lowers the placement plate 10, while correcting the position of the placement plate 10 to prevent the sample from being displaced when the sampling part 6 drops the sample. Its structure, based on the longitudinal height adjustment of the lifting push rod 121, combined with the lateral fine adjustment capability driven by the lead screw 124, can adapt to the precise positioning requirements of glass slides 11 of different specifications.

[0036] The working principle of the fully automated liquid-based cell slide preparation machine provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0037] Open the opening and closing door 2, fix the corresponding number of glass slides 11 on the placement plate 10, and finally place them on the transfer assembly 9. Close the opening and closing door 2. After the first closed door 7 is opened, the sample in the sample area 8 can be replaced. After the moving assembly 4 controls the sampling unit 6 to take a sample in the sample area 8, the auxiliary positioning assembly 12 fixes the placement plate 10 and raises it to a suitable height. The sampling unit 6 drops the sample onto the glass slide 11. Then the auxiliary positioning assembly 12 descends and places the placement plate 10 back on the transfer assembly 9. When it is transferred to the second closed door 13, open the second closed door 13 and take it away. The observation window 14 allows the operator to observe the internal working status in real time during the operation of the equipment, which not only ensures the sealing of the equipment operating environment, but also avoids temperature or cleanliness fluctuations caused by frequent opening of the door.

[0038] Compared with related technologies, the fully automated liquid-based cell slide preparation machine provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0039] The moving component 4 facilitates the sampling unit 6 to take out the sample from the sample area 8 and accurately drop it onto the glass slide 11 on the two sets of transfer components 9. When the sample is being titrated, the auxiliary positioning component 12 clamps the placement plate 10 and lifts it to a suitable height to prevent deviation or sample splashing, which would lead to a decrease in sample quality.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
