Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical testing equipment technology, and in particular to a slide box dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] In medical testing laboratories, slide holders are commonly used for storing and transporting pathological slides or laboratory slides. Traditional slide dispensing relies heavily on manual operation, which is inefficient and prone to contamination or breakage due to human error. Existing automated dispensing devices suffer from the following problems: First, their overall structure is complex and space utilization is low. Second, the slide pushing unit lacks sufficient positioning accuracy, and the pushing mechanism exhibits poor transmission stability. This manifests as a deviation between the axis of motion of the slide pushing unit and the direction of the pushing force, resulting in lateral force and causing vibration, deviation, or jamming during the pushing process, making it difficult to guarantee motion accuracy. Furthermore, the detection and control systems lack sufficient intelligence, lacking high-precision detection modules to monitor the slide status and the position of the slide pushing unit in real time, leading to empty pushing or malfunctions of the slide pushing unit. Poor coordination between the lifting and pushing mechanisms also affects the efficiency and stability of slide dispensing. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a glass slide box discharging device.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model includes:

[0005] The support frame consists of a pair of vertically arranged side panels and a top connecting plate that connects the upper ends of the two side panels.

[0006] A lifting mechanism includes: a guide assembly disposed on the inner side of two upright plates; a load-bearing structure slidably connected to the guide assembly, the load-bearing structure having a horizontal load-bearing portion extending outward to form a cantilever support platform; and a drive assembly for driving the lifting of the load-bearing structure.

[0007] A glass pushing mechanism includes: a second linear slide rail disposed on the upper surface of a top connecting plate and extending along the glass pushing direction; a glass slide pushing part slidably connected to the second linear slide rail; and a servo drive motor for driving the glass slide pushing part to move along the glass pushing direction.

[0008] A further technical solution is that it also includes a detection system, which includes a first detection component for monitoring the state of the slides in the slide box and a second detection component for detecting the position of the slide pushing part.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the second detection component includes a photoelectric detection unit disposed on the upper surface of the top connecting plate, and a signal trigger that moves synchronously with the glass slide pushing part.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the guide component includes a first linear slide rail disposed on the inner side of the side panel, the first linear slide rail extending in the vertical direction.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the glass pushing mechanism further includes a synchronous belt assembly, which includes an active synchronous belt pulley coaxially connected to the output shaft of the servo drive motor, and a driven synchronous belt pulley connected to the active synchronous belt pulley via synchronous belt transmission. The glass slide pushing part is fixedly connected to the working section of the synchronous belt.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the synchronous belt assembly also includes a second tensioning pulley, which is installed in the working section between the driven synchronous belt pulley and the driving synchronous belt pulley to maintain the working section parallel to the second linear slide rail.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the synchronous belt assembly also includes a first tensioning pulley, which is installed in the non-working section between the driving synchronous belt pulley and the driven synchronous belt pulley to adjust the preload of the synchronous belt.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the slide box adopts a front-to-back through structure, including a front opening for outputting slides and a rear opening for the slide pushing part to extend into. The working end face of the slide pushing part forms a surface contact with the rear end face of the slide through the rear opening.

[0015] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: By arranging the lifting mechanism and the glass pushing mechanism vertically in layers between the two side uprights and on the upper surface of the top connecting plate, the lifting stroke and the glass pushing stroke of the slide box are orthogonal in space, resulting in high overall space utilization. By setting a second tensioning wheel in the synchronous belt assembly of the glass pushing mechanism, the parallelism between the working section of the synchronous belt and the second linear guide rail is maintained, ensuring that the direction of the glass pushing force is consistent with the motion axis of the glass slide pushing part, thus ensuring the motion accuracy of the glass slide pushing part. With the coordinated cooperation of the detection system and the control system, stable and efficient automated glass slide discharge is achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the slide box discharging device of this utility model includes a support 1, a lifting mechanism 2 and a glass pushing mechanism 3 disposed on the support 1. The lifting mechanism 2 is used to lift the slide box 100 to a set position, and the glass pushing mechanism 3 is used to push the slides out of the slide box 100 after it has been lifted to the set position.

[0026] Specifically, the support 1 adopts a gantry frame structure, including a pair of vertically arranged side plates 11 and a top connecting plate 12.

[0027] The lifting mechanism 2 includes a bearing structure 21, a guide component, and a drive component. The guide component includes a first linear slide rail 22 disposed on the inner side of the side plate 11. The first linear slide rail 22 extends in the vertical direction. The bearing structure 21 is connected to the output end of the drive component and drives the slide box 100 to slide on the first linear slide rail 22 under the drive of the drive component.

[0028] In this embodiment, the supporting structure 21 is Z-shaped and includes a fixing part 211 fixedly connected to the slider of the vertical rail and a horizontal supporting part 212 connected to the fixing part 211. The horizontal supporting part 212 extends outward along the end of the side plate 11 to form a cantilevered slide box 100 support platform.

[0029] The glass pushing mechanism 3 includes a glass slide pushing part 31 and a glass pushing translation component for driving the glass slide pushing part 31 to push the glass slide out. The glass pushing translation component includes a servo drive motor 32, a synchronous belt assembly 33, and a second linear slide rail 34 disposed on the upper end face of the top connecting plate 12. The second linear slide rail 34 extends along the glass pushing direction. The servo drive motor 32 is fixed to the inner side of the side plate 11. The synchronous belt assembly 33 includes an active synchronous belt pulley 331 coaxially connected to the output shaft of the servo drive motor 32, and a driven synchronous belt pulley 332 connected to the active synchronous belt pulley 331 via a synchronous belt drive. The active synchronous belt pulley 331 and the driven synchronous belt pulley 332 are spaced apart along the glass pushing direction, and the synchronous belt surrounds the active synchronous belt pulley 331 and the driven synchronous belt pulley 332 to form a closed-loop transmission structure.

[0030] The entire device arranges the lifting mechanism 2 and the glass pushing mechanism 3 vertically in layers between the two side uprights 11 and on the upper surface of the top connecting plate 12, forming a space in which the lifting stroke and the glass pushing stroke of the slide box 100 are orthogonal; the overall structure is compact, the space utilization rate is high, and the space occupation is small.

[0031] Furthermore, a first tensioning pulley 333 and a second tensioning pulley 334 are provided between the driving synchronous pulley 331 and the driven synchronous pulley 332. The first tensioning pulley 333 is located in the non-working section of the synchronous belt (between the driving synchronous pulley 331 and the driven synchronous pulley 332) and is used to adjust the preload of the synchronous belt. The second tensioning pulley 334 is installed in the working section of the synchronous belt behind the driven synchronous pulley 332 to ensure that the working section of the synchronous belt is parallel to the second linear slide rail 34. The slide pushing part 31 is fixedly connected to the working section of the synchronous belt through the push rod connecting part and is slidably connected to the second linear slide rail 34 through the slider.

[0032] By adjusting the parallelism between the working section of the synchronous belt and the second linear slide rail 34, the direction of pushing the glass is aligned with the axis of motion of the second linear slide rail 34, avoiding jamming caused by lateral movement. This ensures the motion accuracy of the glass slide pushing part 31, prevents damage to the synchronous belt due to uneven wear, avoids the slider bearing additional torque, and extends the service life of the second linear slide rail 34.

[0033] Specifically, the driven synchronous pulley 332 and the second tensioning pulley 334 are spaced apart on the side of the top connecting plate 12 along the glass pushing direction, and the first tensioning pulley 333 is located on the outside of the side plate 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, the slide box 100 has a cavity for accommodating several slides stacked vertically. The slide box 100 has a through-type structure, including a front opening 200 for slide output and a rear opening 300 for the slide pushing part 31 to extend into. The axial working length of the slide pushing part 31 matches the length of the slide in the pushing direction. The working end face of the slide pushing part 31 forms surface contact with the rear end face of the slide through the rear opening 300, and under the drive of the servo drive motor 32, pushes the slide out through the front opening 200 in the pushing direction.

[0035] Furthermore, the system also includes a detection system 4 and a control system. The detection system 4 includes a first detection component 41 for real-time monitoring of the state of the slides inside the slide holder 100 and a second detection component 42 for detecting the position of the slide pushing part 31. The first detection component 41 includes an optical fiber sensor disposed at the rear opening 300. The second detection component 42 includes a photoelectric detection unit 421 disposed on the upper surface of the top connecting plate 12 and a signal trigger 422 disposed on the push rod connecting part.

[0036] When the slide pusher 31 returns to its initial position, the photoelectric detection unit 421 detects the signal trigger 422 and sends a reset signal to the control system. Based on this reset signal, the control system controls the drive assembly to raise and lower the slide box 100, and, under the monitoring of the fiber optic sensor, positions the slide box 100. Then, it triggers the servo drive motor 32 to drive the slide pusher 31 to perform the slide pushing action. After the slide pusher 31 completes the slide pushing action, it returns to its initial position, and this cycle repeats.

[0037] The glass pushing mechanism 3 works in conjunction with the fiber optic sensor to accurately and effectively push out each glass slide in the slide box 100: when the fiber optic sensor detects a glass slide, the control system controls the glass pushing mechanism 3 to push the slide; when the fiber optic sensor detects no glass slide, the control system automatically skips the current pushing cycle, effectively avoiding empty pushing operations.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
