Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cell biology technology, and more specifically, to a detachable glass slide device. Background Technology

[0002] In cell biology and histology research, microscope slides are commonly used for cell culture, fixation, and staining.

[0003] Most chamber slides currently on the market are for single use only, are expensive, lack modularity and replaceability, and often suffer from problems such as liquid leakage, uneven staining or contamination during use.

[0004] However, the relevant technologies have at least one of the following problems: existing slide devices are mostly one-piece molded and have a single function, making it difficult to meet diverse experimental requirements; for example, when culturing bacteria, a corresponding culture slide device is used, and when the cells in the slide need to be fluorescently labeled after the culture is completed, the slide carrying the cells needs to be moved to a corresponding staining slide device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by this invention is that existing slide devices are mostly integrally molded and have a single function, making it difficult to meet diverse experimental requirements.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a slide device, comprising: a base, which is fixed at a target position and has a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove arranged along the height direction of the base; a slide, which is disposed in the second mounting groove; and a functional module, which is detachably connected to the first mounting groove and has a connecting groove therein to allow communication between the functional module and the slide located in the second mounting groove.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: Compared with the single-function slide device in related technologies, this utility model provides a functional module that can be detachably connected to the base, which makes it convenient to replace different functional modules on the base to meet diverse needs; it enables the slide device to cope with diverse experimental requirements, avoids the situation of transferring the slide multiple times for different experiments, and the functional module is connected to the slide located in the second mounting slot through the connecting groove, ensuring the effective transfer of reagents in the experiment.

[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, the functional module and the base are connected by a snap-fit.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, an opening is provided on one side of the base, which communicates with the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove; a snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the side of the base away from the opening; the functional module includes: a frame, which is disposed in the first mounting groove; and an elastic clip, which is disposed on one side of the frame; wherein, during the process of installing the frame into the first mounting groove, the elastic clip moves from the opening into the snap-fit ​​groove to prevent the frame from coming out of the first mounting groove.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: through the cooperation between the elastic clips on the frame and the locking grooves in the base, the connection method between the frame and the base is further clarified, ensuring that the elastic clips effectively restrict the frame from coming out after entering the locking grooves, thus enhancing the reliability of the connection; and the installation method between the frame and the base is further clarified.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, a sliding groove is provided on one side of the base, the sliding groove is arranged along the length direction of the base, and one end of the sliding groove is connected to the snap-fit ​​groove; the elastic snap-fit ​​includes: a snap-fit ​​block, the snap-fit ​​block is disposed on one side of the frame; an elastic member, the elastic member is disposed on the side of the snap-fit ​​block close to the frame, and the elastic member connects the snap-fit ​​block and the frame to continuously apply an elastic force away from the frame to the snap-fit ​​block.

[0013] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the setting of the slide groove guides and restricts the movement of the snap-fit ​​block in the elastic snap-fit ​​component, so that the snap-fit ​​block can run stably along the slide groove into the snap-fit ​​groove; the setting of the elastic component ensures that the snap-fit ​​block can firmly abut against the snap-fit ​​groove when it is located in the snap-fit ​​groove, ensuring that it is stably snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, the elastic clip further includes a rotating wheel, which is located on the side of the elastic member away from the frame and is rotatably connected to the snap-fit ​​block; wherein, during the process of the elastic clip moving from the opening to the snap-fit ​​groove, the rotating wheel abuts against the inner wall of the groove.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by this technical solution is that the rotating wheel abuts against the inner wall of the slide groove, which can reduce the friction between the elastic clamp and the slide groove during the movement of the elastic clamp, making the installation process smoother.

[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, a first guide surface is provided on the side of the snap-fit ​​groove near the slide groove; during the process of the rotating wheel disengaging from the snap-fit ​​groove, the rotating wheel moves along the first guide surface to the slide groove.

[0017] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the first guide surface can guide the elastic clip to smoothly enter the snap-fit ​​groove, avoiding deviation when the elastic clip enters the snap-fit ​​groove; and when the elastic clip comes out of the snap-fit ​​groove, the first guide surface will also provide guidance for the rotating wheel and the snap-fit ​​block, so that the snap-fit ​​block can come out of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0018] In one embodiment of this utility model, a stop block is provided on the side of the frame away from the elastic clip; wherein, when the stop block abuts against the side wall of the base, the elastic clip is located in the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the stop block, as a positioning structure, can clearly define the position of the frame installation and ensure that the elastic clip is accurately placed in the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0020] In one embodiment of this utility model, the functional module further includes: at least one partition plate, which is located in the middle of the frame and arranged along the length of the frame to divide the connecting groove into multiple chambers.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this technical solution are as follows: the partition plate divides the connecting channel into multiple chambers, allowing for the simultaneous conduct of various experiments or the addition of different reagents in different areas, thus increasing the diversity and flexibility of experimental operations.

[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, the functional module further includes a glass cover plate, which is disposed on the side of the frame near the second mounting groove, and a fixed gap is formed between the glass cover plate and the glass slide.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0044] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0045] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a detachable glass slide device provided in an embodiment of this utility model; combined with Figures 2 to 9Specifically, the slide device 100 includes: a base 10, a slide, and a functional module 20; wherein, the base 10 is fixed at the target position, and a first mounting groove 104 and a second mounting groove 105 are arranged along the height direction of the base 10; the slide is disposed in the second mounting groove 105; the functional module 20 is detachably connected to the first mounting groove 104, and the functional module 20 is provided with a communicating groove 212 so that the functional module 20 and the slide located in the second mounting groove 105 are connected.

[0047] Based on practical considerations, the base 10 is fixedly mounted on the microscope stage. A first mounting groove 104 and a second mounting groove 105 are arranged on the side of the base 10 away from the stage. The second mounting groove 105 is located on the side of the first mounting groove 104 closest to the stage, and a glass slide is placed in the second mounting groove 105. A functional module 20 is disposed in the first mounting groove 104, and a portion of the functional module 20 is snapped into the base 10. A connecting groove 212 is provided on the functional module 20, allowing communication between the functional module 20 and the glass slide in the second mounting groove 105, facilitating the addition of reagents to the glass slide by the user.

[0048] Preferably, the functional module 20 is snap-fitted to the base 10 so that the functional module 20 can be detached from the base 10.

[0049] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 10 has an opening 103 on one side, which communicates with the first mounting groove 104 and the second mounting groove 105; the base 10 has a snap-fit ​​groove 11 on the side away from the opening 103; the functional module 20 includes a frame 21 and an elastic clip 22; wherein the frame 21 is disposed in the first mounting groove 104; the elastic clip 22 is disposed on one side of the frame 21; during the process of installing the frame 21 into the first mounting groove 104, the elastic clip 22 moves from the opening 103 into the snap-fit ​​groove 11 to restrict the frame 21 from coming out of the first mounting groove 104.

[0050] Based on the actual situation, the base 10 includes a first end 101 and a second end 102 that are arranged opposite to each other, with the opening 103 located at the first end 101; during the process of installing the frame 21 into the first mounting groove 104, the frame 21 moves towards the second end 102 at the opening 103, and the elastic clip 22 moves synchronously with the frame 21 until the elastic clip 22 moves into the snap-fit ​​groove 11, at which point the frame 21 and the base 10 are snapped together.

[0051] Similarly, during the installation process, the slide moves from the opening 103 to the second end 102 until the slide is completely located in the second mounting groove 105.

[0052] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 3 to 7The base 10 has a sliding groove 12 on one side, which is arranged along the length of the base 10 and one end of the sliding groove 12 is connected to the snap-fit ​​groove 11. The elastic snap-fit ​​member 22 includes a snap-fit ​​block 221 and an elastic member 222. The snap-fit ​​block 221 is located on one side of the frame 21. The elastic member 222 is located on the side of the snap-fit ​​block 221 close to the frame 21 and connects the snap-fit ​​block 221 and the frame 21 to continuously apply an elastic force away from the frame 21 to the snap-fit ​​block 221.

[0053] For example, during the process of the frame 21 moving from the opening 103 at the first end 101 to the direction of the second end 102, the snap-fit ​​block 221 is located in the slide groove 12 of the base 10, and the snap-fit ​​block 221 presses the elastic member 222; when the snap-fit ​​block 221 moves to the snap-fit ​​groove 11, the pressing force applied by the snap-fit ​​block 221 to the elastic member 222 disappears, the elastic member 222 recovers its deformation, so that the snap-fit ​​block 221 moves away from the frame 21 and completes abutment with the snap-fit ​​groove 11.

[0054] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 6 to 9 The elastic clip 22 also includes a rotating wheel 223, which is located on the side of the elastic clip 222 away from the frame 21 and is rotatably connected to the snap block 221. During the process of the elastic clip 22 moving from the opening 103 to the snap groove 11, the rotating wheel 223 abuts against the inner wall of the slide groove 12.

[0055] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​groove 11 is provided with a first guide surface 13 on the side near the slide groove 12; during the process of the rotating wheel 223 disengaging from the snap-fit ​​groove 11, the rotating wheel 223 moves along the first guide surface 13 to the slide groove 12.

[0056] Preferably, the first guide surface 13 is an inclined surface.

[0057] In one example, the snap-fit ​​groove 11 and the slide groove 12 are connected by a first guide ramp; when the snap-fit ​​block 221 is in the snap-fit ​​groove 11, the rotating wheel 223 abuts against the first guide ramp; when the functional module 20 needs to be replaced, by dragging the frame 21 in a direction away from the second end 102, under the action of the rotating wheel 223, the snap-fit ​​block 221 moves along the first guide ramp to disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove 11, and continues to move along the slide groove 12 towards the first end 101 of the base 10 until the frame 21 is detached from the base 10.

[0058] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 A stop block 23 is also provided on the side of the frame 21 away from the elastic clip 22; wherein, when the stop block 23 abuts against the side wall of the base 10, the elastic clip 22 is located in the snap-fit ​​groove 11; by setting the stop block 23, the user can clearly understand the snap-fit ​​situation between the frame 21 and the base 10.

[0059] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The functional module 20 also includes at least one partition plate 24, which is located in the middle of the frame 21 and arranged along the length of the frame 21 to divide the connecting groove 212 into multiple chambers 211.

[0060] Please see Figure 4 There are two partition plates 24, which are arranged along the length of the frame 21 to divide the connecting groove 212 in the frame 21 into three chambers, and each chamber is connected to the glass slide located in the second mounting groove; thus, the glass slide is also divided into three independent culture areas, so that the glass slide can culture three different types of colonies.

[0061] Preferably, a silicone sealing gasket is provided on the side of the frame 21 near the first mounting groove 104 to prevent liquid leakage in the culture area.

[0062] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 10 The functional module 20 also includes a glass cover 25, which is located on the side of the frame 21 near the second mounting groove 105, and a fixed gap is formed between the glass cover 25 and the glass slide.

[0063] Specifically, when the frame 21 is equipped with a partition plate 24, the frame 21 and the partition plate 24 cooperate to form a porous chamber 211 for cell seeding and culture; when the frame 21 is equipped with a glass cover plate 25, the frame 21 and the glass cover plate 25 cooperate to form a staining chamber 211. Since a fixed thickness gap is formed between the glass cover plate 25 and the frame 21, when staining cell samples in a slide, the glass cover plate 25 can evenly cover the cell samples, ensuring the uniformity of the staining agent.

[0064] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The slide device 100 also includes a vent cover 30, which is located on the side of the functional module 20 away from the base 10 to block the communication groove 212, so as to maintain a sterile state while allowing gas exchange during cell culture.

[0065] Preferably, the breathable cover 30 is made of PTFE film or a polymer cover with an aluminum film.

[0066] In summary, the detachable connection between the functional module 20 and the base 10 enables cell seeding, culture, staining, and imaging operations to be completed continuously within a unified platform, simplifying the experimental process and improving efficiency.

[0067] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
