Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biomedical devices, and in particular to a drying plate. Background Technology
[0002] Glass slides are common tools in biological and medical laboratories, mainly used to hold thin-layer samples (such as tissue sections) for observation under an optical microscope. Slide trays, also known as slide storage trays or operating trays, are devices used in pathology laboratories for placing and drying glass slides. They are mostly made of plastic (ABS or polypropylene) and typically have multiple slots for fixing the slides.
[0003] Standard slide dimensions are 7.5cm long, 2.5cm wide, and 1.0-1.2cm thick. For certain large tissue sections, such as whole brain sections, large tumor samples, or multi-tissue arrays (TMA), it is necessary to use or even customize large-sized slides (e.g., 7.5×5cm). However, currently available slide trays only have a single-size slide slot, most of which are suitable for standard-sized slides, and a few are suitable for large-sized slides, but none can accommodate both large and small slides simultaneously. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a drying plate with an adjustable slide slot size, which can be compatible with both large and small glass slides.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the drying plate of this utility model includes a body, on which multiple tray slots are provided, and a partition is provided between two adjacent tray slots in the same row, and at least one of the partitions is a movable partition.
[0006] The movable partition can be a cuboid insert with connecting posts. The main body has a slot that matches the movable partition, and the slot has a hole that matches the connecting post. The depth of the slot is not less than the depth of the plate slot (i.e., the surface of the slot is not higher than the inner surface of the bottom of the plate slot). The number of connecting posts is preferably 2-4.
[0007] In addition to the slot on the main body, one or more storage slots can be further provided to store disassembled and temporarily unused movable partitions. The bottom of the storage slot can have insertion holes that match the connecting posts of the movable partitions. Grooves can also be provided on both sides of the storage slots to facilitate the removal of the movable partitions.
[0008] The movable partition can also be designed with one end rotatably connected to the main body (e.g., hinged). When drying regular slides, the movable partition is rotated to the middle of two adjacent slide slots to isolate the two adjacent slides; when drying large slides, the movable partition is unscrewed to connect the two adjacent slide slots into one large slide slot to accommodate the large slide.
[0009] This utility model improves the structure of the drying plate by designing the partition between adjacent slide slots as a movable structure, which can be easily installed or disassembled without tools. This solves the problem that drying plates on the market only have slide slots of a single size, and realizes the need for simultaneous drying of large and small glass slides, greatly improving the practicality and flexibility of the drying plate.

[0022] To provide a more detailed understanding of the technical content, features, and effects of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the drying plate in this embodiment includes a body 1 and a partition component 5.
[0025] The main body 1 has 20 evenly spaced slide slots 2 for placing standard-sized (7.5×2.5cm) glass slides. Ten slide slots 2 are arranged in each row, forming two rows in total. The top of each slide slot 2 is arc-shaped to facilitate the placement and removal of slides. A slot 3 with the same depth as the slide slot 2 is located between two adjacent slide slots 2 in each row. Each slot 3 has four circular through holes 4 penetrating the main body 1.
[0026] The main body 1 has 16 storage slots 6 around the plate placement slot area for storing the partition components 5. Specifically, there are four storage slots 6 in a row above and four in a row below the plate placement slot area; and two pairs of storage slots 6 on each of the left and right sides of the plate placement slot area. The storage slots 6 have grooves on both sides of their central portion for easy placement and removal of the partition components 5.
[0027] There are 18 partition components 5 in total, and the structure of each partition component 5 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes a rectangular partition strip 8 and four cylindrical connecting posts 7, the connecting posts 7 being disposed on the lower surface of the partition strip 8.
[0028] The partition assembly 5 is matched with the slot 3. The length, width, and height of the partition strip 8 are the same as the length, width, and depth of the slot 3, respectively. The positions of the four connecting posts 7 correspond to the positions of the four through holes 4 on the slot 3. The outer diameter of the connecting post 7 is the same as the inner diameter of the through hole 4. The height of the connecting post 7 is not greater than the depth of the through hole 4.
[0029] The length, width, and height of the partition component 5 are matched with the length, width, and depth of the storage slot 6.
[0030] The above-mentioned drying board is used in the following ways:
[0031] When all the slides to be dried are standard-sized slides, insert all the partition components 5 into the corresponding slots 3 (the four connecting posts 7 of the partition components 5 are inserted into the four through holes 4 of the corresponding slots 3 respectively), dividing the drying plate into 10 small areas (slide placement slots 2) to ensure that the standard-sized slides do not stick together or slip off.
[0032] When it is necessary to air out large-sized slides, or to air out both standard-sized and large-sized slides simultaneously, the corresponding number of partition components 5 are removed according to the size and quantity of the large-sized slides. This connects two or more adjacent slide slots 2 into a larger slide slot to accommodate the large-sized slides. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, after removing the four adjacent partition components 5, the five standard-sized slots are connected to form a large slot five times the standard size. The removed partition components 5 can be placed in the storage slot 6.
[0033] In other embodiments, the holes opened on the slots may not be through holes, and the shape of the holes may be square, polygonal, or other shapes (the shape of the connecting post matches the shape of the slot hole); the storage slots may also be opened in other areas on the drying plate body other than the plate placement slots, such as the area between two rows of plate placement slots, and the number of storage slots may also be adjusted (generally not exceeding the number of partition components).
[0034] In other embodiments, the partition between adjacent tray slots may not use the plug-in / plug-out method of this embodiment. For example, it can be an opening / closing method, where the partition assembly only includes a partition strip, the slot has no holes, one end of the partition strip is hinged to the tray body, and the partition strip can rotate around the hinged end; when the partition strip is rotated to coincide with the slot, the partition strip separates the two adjacent tray slots; when the partition strip is rotated away from the slot position, the two adjacent tray slots expand into one large tray slot.
[0035] The above embodiments are merely feasible or preferred embodiments of this utility model and are used to illustrate this utility model. They are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of this utility model should fall within the scope of this utility model patent.
