Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass slide disinfection technology, specifically to a glass slide disinfection device. Background Technology

[0002] A glass slide is a glass or quartz slide used to hold objects when observing them under a microscope. In pathology, when observing cells or tissue sections under a microscope, the cells or tissue sections are placed on a glass slide for easier observation. After the observation is completed, the glass slide is cleaned and air-dried for sterilization.

[0003] The prior art discloses (Publication No.: CN219878735U) a pathological slide air-drying and disinfection device, including a cabinet, fans, and air outlet grilles. The front of the cabinet is an open structure, and two fans are installed on the back of the cabinet. Each fan integrates a heating wire, and the output end of the fan connects to the interior of the cabinet. Air outlet grilles are provided on both sides of the cabinet, and a shelf is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the cabinet. This utility model uses a left and right clamping block structure to vertically clamp the slide. The slide is vertically inserted between the left and right clamping blocks and inserted through the opening of the Y-shaped clamping structure. At this time, the spring and telescopic rod are compressed, and the elastic force of the spring clamps the bottom end of the slide, making it vertical, so that both sides of the slide can be air-dried and irradiated for disinfection at the same time, improving the air-drying and disinfection efficiency; it can clamp and position slides of different specifications and thicknesses, improving structural adaptability.

[0004] However, existing technologies can only clamp the lower end of the slide, making it prone to tipping over under the action of the fan, resulting in slide breakage. Also, since the lower end of the slide is in contact with the shelf, moisture easily accumulates at the contact surface, reducing the drying efficiency. Furthermore, the lower end of the dried slide is prone to sticking to the shelf, causing further damage. Therefore, we propose a slide sterilization device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a glass slide sterilization device to solve the problems that moisture easily accumulates on the contact surface between the glass slide and the shelf, thereby reducing the drying efficiency of the glass slide, and that the lower end of the dried glass slide is prone to sticking to the shelf, resulting in damage to the glass slide.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a glass slide disinfection device, including a disinfection cabinet, the inner wall of which is symmetrically provided with several sliding grooves, each of which is provided with an installation plate. Each installation plate is provided with several placement components, each including an installation slot, a knob, a torsion spring, a connecting block, two sliders, and a placement slot. The installation slot is located in the middle of the installation plate, the knob is located at the end of the installation plate away from the installation slot, and one end of the knob rotates through the installation slot. The connecting block is located at the end of the knob that extends through the installation slot. Two sliders are symmetrically arranged inside the installation slot. The torsion spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the knob, with one end connected to the inner wall of the installation slot and the other end connected to the connecting block. Each end of the connecting block has a connecting rod, and the other end of each connecting rod is connected to an adjacent slider. Two placement slots are symmetrically opened through the upper part of the installation plate. Each installation plate on both sides of the placement slot has a limiting groove, which is connected to the installation slot. Each limiting groove has a support plate, and each support plate is connected to an adjacent slider.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: By creating a placement slot, the slide is placed inside, and a support plate supports the sides of the slide, preventing it from falling out and breaking. Furthermore, the support plate only supports the sides of the slide, allowing both sides to be sterilized and dried, improving sterilization efficiency and preventing the slide from sticking to the shelf. When medical staff need to remove the sterilized slide, they simply turn a knob, causing the connecting block to push the slider in the mounting slot in a direction away from each other via the connecting rod. This causes the support plate to move from the placement slot to the limiting slot, thereby causing the glass slide located above the support block to leave the placement slot. The placement slots are symmetrically arranged, and two glass slides can be removed at the same time by turning a knob, increasing the efficiency of glass slide retrieval. When the medical staff releases the knob, the knob resets under the action of the torsion spring. At the same time, the rotating knob drives the connecting block to rotate, thereby causing the connecting rod to pull the two sliders in the installation slots to move towards each other, thereby allowing the support plate to extend into the placement slot to support the next batch of glass slides.

[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the ends of the support plates located in the same placement slot that are close to each other are rounded.

[0009] The beneficial effects are as follows: by rounding the support plate, the contact area between the support plate and the slide is further reduced, thereby further preventing the slide from sticking to the support plate. At the same time, the rounded support plate can keep the slide always gathered between the two support plates, which not only shortens the height of the slide's descent, but also prevents the slide from flipping when the two support plates separate.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the support plates located in the same placement slot are provided with several drainage slots at their close ends.

[0011] The beneficial effect is that the drainage channel is used to guide the water accumulated between the support plate and the glass slide, preventing water from staying between the support plate and the glass slide for a long time.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the inner wall of the disinfection cabinet is symmetrically provided with storage slots, each containing a collection tray lined with a silicone rubber pad. The inner wall of the disinfection cabinet is also symmetrically provided with several support slots, which are located below the mounting plate, allowing the collection tray to be inserted into the support slots.

[0013] The beneficial effects are as follows: When sterilizing the slides, the collection tray is placed in the storage slot, so that the collection tray can be sterilized at the same time. When it is necessary to take out the sterilized slides, the collection tray is placed in the support slot under the mounting plate to catch the slides falling from the placement slot. The silicone rubber pad is used to absorb the vibration of the slides and prevent the slides from being damaged.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the disinfection cabinet is symmetrically equipped with several ultraviolet disinfection lamps.

[0015] Preferably, the back wall of the disinfection cabinet is equipped with several heating lamps.

[0016] Preferably, the upper wall of the disinfection cabinet is symmetrically equipped with several exhaust fans. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example

[0025] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1-5 The slide sterilization device shown includes a sterilization cabinet 1. Several sliding grooves 2 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right inner walls of the sterilization cabinet 1. In this embodiment, three sets of sliding grooves 2 are symmetrically arranged. Mounting plates 3 are slidably installed between the symmetrically arranged sliding grooves 2. Each mounting plate 3 has several placement components. In this embodiment, each mounting plate 3 has three placement components. Each placement component includes a mounting groove 4, a knob 5, a torsion spring 6, a connecting block 7, two sliders 8, and a placement slot 9. The mounting groove 4 is horizontally opened at the lower center of the mounting plate 3, parallel to the inner wall of the sterilization cabinet 1. The knob 5 is rotatably mounted at the upper center of the mounting plate 3, with its lower end rotating through the mounting groove 4. The connecting block 7 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the knob 5. The two sliders 8... The knob 5 is symmetrically slidably installed inside the mounting groove 4. The torsion spring 6 is sleeved on the outer wall of the knob 5, and one end of the torsion spring 6 is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the mounting groove 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting block 7. The connecting block 7 has rotating rods fixedly installed at both ends, and connecting rods 10 are rotatably installed on the outer wall of the rotating rods. The other end of the connecting rods 10 is rotatably connected to the adjacent slider 8. Two placement grooves 9 are symmetrically opened through the upper end of the mounting plate 3 in a direction perpendicular to the rear wall of the disinfection cabinet 1. The mounting plate 3 has limit grooves 11 on the left and right sides of the placement grooves 9, and the end of the limit groove 11 near the mounting groove 4 is connected to the mounting groove 4. Each limit groove 11 has a support plate 12 slidably installed in it, and each support plate 12 is fixedly connected to the adjacent slider 8.

[0026] The ends of the support plates 12 located in the same placement groove 9 that are close to each other are rounded, and several drainage grooves 13 are provided at the ends of the support plates 12 located in the same placement groove 9 that are close to each other.

[0027] The inner wall of the disinfection cabinet 1 is symmetrically provided with storage slots 14, and a collection tray 15 is slidably installed in the storage slots 14. A silicone rubber pad is laid in the collection tray 15. The inner wall of the disinfection cabinet 1 is symmetrically provided with several support slots 16. In this embodiment, there are 3 sets of support slots 16, and each support slot 16 is located below each mounting plate 3. The collection tray 15 can be slidably inserted into each support slot 16.

[0028] Several ultraviolet disinfection lamps 17 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right inner walls of the disinfection cabinet 1. In this embodiment, the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 17 are set in 4 groups, of which 3 groups are located on both sides above each mounting plate 3 and the other group is located on both sides above the storage tray 14. This allows the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 17 to disinfect both sides of the glass slide and also disinfect the collection tray 15. Several heating lamps 18 are fixedly installed on the rear wall of the disinfection cabinet 1. In this embodiment, the heating lamps 18 are set in 4 groups, of which 3 groups are located above each mounting plate 3 and the other group is located above the storage tray 14. Exhaust fans 19 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the upper wall of the disinfection cabinet 1 to exhaust the water vapor generated during drying.

[0029] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0030] When the placement assembly is not in use, the torsion spring 6 is in its natural state. The connecting block 7 pulls the connecting rod 10, causing the two sliders 8 to move closer together, thus bringing the support plates 12 closer together in the placement groove 9. This allows the slide to be placed in the placement groove 9, supported by the support plates 12. After the slide is placed above the support plates 12, the rounded ends of the support plates 12 create line contact between the slide and the support plates 12, reducing the contact area. Drainage grooves 13 between adjacent line segments ensure timely drainage from the contact area, increasing the drying efficiency of the slide. When medical staff need to remove the sterilized slide, they first insert the collection tray 15 into the support groove 16 below the slide to be removed, and then turn the knob 5. This causes the connecting block 7 to push the sliders 8 in the mounting groove 4 in a direction away from each other via the connecting rod 10, thus moving the support plates 12 out of the placement groove 9. The slide moves into the limiting groove 11, causing the slide above the support block to leave the placement groove 9 and fall into the collection tray 15. Because the placement grooves 9 are symmetrically arranged, two slides can be removed simultaneously by rotating a knob 5, increasing the efficiency of slide retrieval. When medical staff release the knob 5, it resets under the action of the torsion spring 6. Simultaneously, the rotating knob 5 drives the connecting block 7 to rotate, causing the connecting rod 10 to pull the two sliders 8 in the mounting groove 4 towards each other. This allows the support plate 12 to extend into the placement groove 9 to support the next batch of slides. In summary, this solution not only reduces the contact area between the slide and the support plate 12, preventing adhesion, but also allows for drying and sterilization of both sides of the slide by opening the placement groove 9, increasing the sterilization efficiency. Furthermore, rotating the knob 5 allows for quick slide removal, increasing the work efficiency of medical staff.
