Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of micro-sample detection equipment, specifically to a slide holder and a slide compartment structure for a chromosome imaging scanner. Background Technology

[0002] In medical testing and scientific research, it is often necessary to prepare samples such as living tissues, cells, and chromosomes on glass slides so that their morphology, color, structure, and other characteristics can be observed and analyzed using microscopes and scanners to obtain diagnostic results. The entire observation process usually includes steps such as slide preparation, staining, and oil removal from the slide. High-power scanning requires applying immersion oil to the slide to increase the amount of light entering the oil immersion lens, enhance the brightness of the field of view, and make the image clearer. After scanning, the slide is cleaned and the oil is removed, which saves costs and cleans the slide.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, such as Figure 7 Multiple slides are usually arranged in a straight line on a loading plate. This type of loading plate is not compatible with the pre-slide preparation and subsequent oil control operations. Therefore, different carriers are required to support the slides in different operation steps, which is inconvenient and costly. Utility Model Content

[0029] To further understand the content, features, and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0030] This utility model discloses a slide holder. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 The frame 1 includes a through-open structure forming an upper opening 11 and a lower opening 12. All four sides of the frame 1 have through-openings forming side openings 13. Each of the two opposite side openings 13 is fixedly connected to a support rod 2. The two support rods 2 form the opposite walls of the lower opening 12 and are both located within the projection plane of the upper opening 11. Each of the inner walls on one of the two sides of the frame 1 has at least one clamping groove 14. The number of clamping grooves 14 on both sides is equal and they are opposite to each other. Each of the other two sides of the frame 1 has a through-opening handle hole 3. Each of the other two outer walls of the frame 1 has a transverse limiting groove 31 that connects to the corresponding handle hole 3. Both transverse limiting grooves 31 connect to the same outer wall of the frame 1 or connect to the opposite outer walls of the frame 1.

[0031] During slide loading, a clamping groove 14 is provided on the frame 1 to install the slide by placing it into the clamping groove 14 through the opening of the upper opening 11. The two ends of the slide are slidably connected to the two opposite clamping grooves 14. During this process, since the two support rods 2 are located within the projection plane of the upper opening 11, the ends of the slide placed in the frame 1 can be supported by the two support rods 2, thereby achieving stable placement of the slide.

[0032] Specifically, because the four sides of the frame 1 are all through openings to form side openings 13, the end of the frame 1 near the lower opening 12 forms a hollow structure, which allows liquids (such as mirror oil) to enter and exit.

[0033] When moving, insert both ends of the handle into the two handle holes 3 respectively, and the frame 1 containing the glass slide can be moved by lifting and placing.

[0034] By using this frame 1, during staining, the frame 1 containing the slides is lifted by the handle and moved into the staining area. The staining solution enters through the upper opening 11, the lower opening 12, and the side openings 13 to simultaneously stain each slide. After staining, the slide can be lifted out by the handle.

[0035] During scanning, the frame 1 can be placed directly into the machine with its upper opening 11 facing the operator. After scanning, the frame 1 can be removed from the machine and rotated 90° so that its upper opening 11 faces upward. At this time, since the two support rods 2 form the opposite walls of the lower opening 12, and the two support rods 2 are supported on the bottom of the oil control tank, the glass slide is at an angle perpendicular to the ground. Under the action of the lower opening 12 and the openings 13 on each side, the glass slide quickly completes the oil control and waste oil recovery work.

[0036] Therefore, by using this frame 1, glass slides can be stored directly, and staining, scanning and oil control operations of the glass slides can be completed. It is compatible with the pre-slide preparation and subsequent oil control operations of glass slides, and improves the technical problem that different carriers are required to support the glass slides in different operation steps in the prior art, which is inconvenient and costly.

[0037] As one of the specific solutions in this embodiment, a clamping groove 14 is provided on both inner walls of the frame 1, so that a glass slide can be placed inside the frame 1.

[0038] As one specific embodiment, at least two clamping slots 14 are provided on each of the inner walls of both sides of the frame 1. Specifically, there can be two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten slots, allowing multiple slides to be placed within the frame 1 for simultaneous staining, scanning, and oil control operations. The figure shows ten slots.

[0039] It is evident that when at least two clamping grooves 14 are provided on both inner walls of the frame 1, the two adjacent clamping grooves 14 on the same side have a certain distance, so that a gap is formed between the adjacent glass slides placed in the frame 1, which facilitates the passage of liquid.

[0040] It should be noted that, typically, the end of a handle is a cylindrical structure (e.g., the end of a bucket handle is a bent cylindrical structure). In this embodiment of the invention, when the end of the handle is inserted into the corresponding handle hole 3, the end of the handle can rotate within the handle hole 3. Therefore, when the frame 1 is placed in the dyeing area, inside the machine, or in the oil control tank, the handle can rotate until the end of the handle is engaged in the transverse limiting groove 31, thereby using the transverse limiting groove 31 to limit the handle and ensure its stability.

[0041] When both transverse limiting grooves 31 are connected to the same side outer wall of the frame 1, the handle can only rotate and tilt in the direction of the same side outer wall of the frame 1.

[0042] When both transverse limiting grooves 31 are connected to the opposite outer walls of the frame 1, the handle can be rotated toward the same side or the other side of the frame 1.

[0043] Based on the above embodiment, the clamping groove 14 is a horn groove to facilitate the placement of the glass slide.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In the slide holder of this utility model, at least one bottom groove 21 is provided on the upper side of each of the two support rods 2. The number of bottom grooves 21 on the same support rod 2 is equal to the number of clamping grooves 14 on the same side of the frame body 1, and each bottom groove 21 and the corresponding clamping groove 14 are located on the same plane.

[0045] When the end of the glass slide placed in the frame 1 is supported by two support rods 2, the end of the glass slide can enter into the bottom groove 21, so as to further limit the glass slide through the bottom groove 21 and ensure the stability of the glass slide installation.

[0046] In this utility model, a slide holder has multiple support blocks 22 fixedly connected to the lower side of each of the two support rods 2. Each support block 22 on the same support rod 2 is distributed at intervals along its length direction, and the plane of each support block 22 is located outside the structure of the frame 1.

[0047] When the oil control and recovery operation is carried out, the lower opening 12 opens downward. At this time, since the plane of each support block 22 is outside the structure of the frame 1, each support block 22 simultaneously abuts against the bottom of the oil control tank to support the frame 1. Therefore, during the oil control process, liquid (such as mirror oil) can be quickly discharged through the gap between adjacent support blocks 22.

[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In the slide holder of this utility model, each clamping groove 14 has a guide surface 141 formed at the upper end of the groove bottom. The distance between two opposing guide surfaces 141 gradually decreases from the upper opening 11 to the lower opening 12, so as to guide the slide to be inserted quickly and accurately through the guide surface 141.

[0049] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The slide holder of this utility model has vertical limiting grooves 32 on the outer walls of the other two sides of the frame 1, which are connected to the corresponding handle holes 3. Both vertical limiting grooves 32 extend toward the opening direction of the upper opening 11 and penetrate the frame 1.

[0050] When moving the frame 1 using the handle, the end of the handle can enter the vertical limiting groove 32 to limit the handle and ensure its vertical position.

[0051] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The slide holder of this utility model has at least one inclined limiting groove 33 on each of the other two outer walls of the frame body 1, which is connected to the corresponding handle hole 3. The inclined limiting grooves 33 on the other two outer walls of the frame body 1 are respectively corresponding to each other. The inclined limiting grooves 33 are inclined relative to the adjacent vertical limiting grooves 32, and extend towards the opening direction of the upper opening 11 and penetrate the frame body 1.

[0052] When in use, the inclined limiting groove 33 allows the handle to be tilted along the inclined limiting groove 33 when moving the frame 1. This not only achieves vertical limiting but also adapts to different lifting angles, improving the flexibility and convenience of use and further optimizing the use effect of the handle.

[0053] This invention also discloses a slice compartment structure for a chromosome imaging scanner. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 4 to 6 The system includes the slide holder and a storage compartment 4. The storage compartment 4 has at least one mounting slot 41. The number of the frame 1 is equal to the number of mounting slots 41, and the frame 1 is placed in the mounting slot 41.

[0054] In actual use, the chamber 4 is installed inside the scanning machine, and the chamber 4 has an opening facing the user's operating side, so that the user can place the frame 1 directly into the mounting slot 41 of the chamber 4.

[0055] The chromosome imaging scanner slide compartment structure of this utility model has an elastic pressure plate 42 fixedly connected to the wall of the mounting slot 41, and the elastic pressure plate 42 abuts against the outer wall of the frame 1.

[0056] The elastic pressure plate 42 can be made of spring and has an arc-shaped structure, so as to achieve the compression installation of the frame 1 through its elasticity, ensuring that the frame 1 is stably installed in the installation groove 41.

[0057] The elastic pressure plate 42 can be fixedly installed on the wall of the mounting groove 41 by screws.

[0058] The chromosome imaging scanner slide compartment structure of this utility model has two opposing inclined surfaces 411 at the opening of the mounting slot 41 to guide the frame 1 into the mounting slot 41.

[0059] The chromosome imaging scanner slide compartment structure of this utility model has at least two mounting slots 41 and a push-pull opening 412 between two adjacent mounting slots 41.

[0060] Specifically, the number of frame 1 and mounting slots 41 can be two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten. When the frame 1 is installed in or removed from the mounting slot 41, the push-pull opening 412 formed between two adjacent mounting slots 41 creates an operating gap between two adjacent frame 1s, facilitating the user to reach in and apply force to the frame 1, thereby enabling the installation or removal of the frame 1.

[0061] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
