Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a liquid-based thin-layer cell preparation and staining machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the medical field, early and accurate diagnosis of diseases plays a crucial role in improving treatment outcomes and patient prognosis. The liquid-based thin-layer cell preparation and staining machine has emerged to address this need, with profound implications. As society develops and people place increasing emphasis on health, higher demands are being placed on the accuracy and efficiency of disease screening and diagnosis. In the early diagnosis of major cancer-related diseases, cellular morphology examination is a critical step. The liquid-based thin-layer cell preparation and staining machine can process cell samples and produce high-quality smears, providing doctors with clear and accurate cell morphology information, greatly assisting in the early diagnosis of diseases. It has an undeniable value in improving overall medical standards and safeguarding public health.
[0003] Currently, cell preparation and staining primarily rely on manual operation. Doctors must first collect samples, then manually transfer cells onto glass slides, and then perform each staining step sequentially. This method is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also prone to uneven cell distribution and residual impurities due to variations in operator technique, affecting observation and reducing the accuracy of diagnostic results. Existing staining equipment has automated the processing, preparation, and staining processes, reducing manual intervention and improving efficiency. However, these devices still have many drawbacks. Some equipment has a complex slide preparation process, requiring extensive preparatory and debugging work by professionals, increasing operational difficulty and the probability of errors, and reducing the uniformity of the slides. The staining step needs to be performed separately and cannot be processed quickly, resulting in low efficiency in sample processing and difficulty in meeting the sample testing requirements.

[0039] Working principle: The test tube 7 containing the sample is placed into the sample holder 6. The telescopic rod 3 on the machine body 1 is activated, causing the vent plate 4 to slide downward. The inner wall of the vent plate 4 is slidably connected to the slide rod 5, and the bottom end of the slide rod 5 is fixedly connected to the sample holder 6, causing the sample holder 6 to move downward. When the limiting frame 9 at the bottom of the sample holder 6 contacts the slide preparation plate 11, the sample holder 6 stops moving. The vent plate 4 continues to slide downward, squeezing and sealing the top of the test tube 7. At this time, the air pump 8 connected to the top of the vent plate 4 is activated to inflate the inside of the test tube 7. Since the bottom end of the test tube 7 is connected to the spray head 10 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sample holder 6 when the test tube 7 is installed on the sample holder 6, the sample liquid is evenly sprayed onto the glass slide 12. This structure can quickly and evenly spray the sample onto the glass slide 12, improving the slide preparation effect and efficiency, and meeting the usage requirements.
[0040] A heating plate 201 is installed on the inner wall of the slide preparation plate 11, allowing the sample sprayed inside the baffle 202 to dry quickly for the staining step. During staining, the automatic valve 205 opens, and due to the enclosure of the baffle 202, the staining solution in the staining tank 204 flows into the area enclosed by the baffle 202 through the water pipe 203 to stain the slide. After staining, the finished product is removed so that the drain hole 206 is no longer blocked, and the staining solution flows out from the drain hole 206. The scraper 207, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the baffle 202, is fixedly connected to the sliding column 208 that works with the spring 209, so that after removal, the scraper 207 scrapes the wall to clean the liquid. This structure can automatically perform the staining operation and automatically discharge the used staining solution, improving the convenience of operation and meeting the staining requirements.
