Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scanner technology, specifically to a quick-change component for the scanning head of a slice scanner. Background Technology

[0002] A tissue slide scanner is a high-precision optical imaging device primarily used to convert transparent or semi-transparent thin sections such as biological tissue slides and material samples into high-resolution digital images. It is widely used in medical diagnosis, scientific research analysis, and industrial testing. Its core function is to achieve non-destructive digitization of samples through optical scanning and image processing technology, providing a standardized and shareable data foundation for subsequent analysis.

[0003] In the field of medical imaging, such as pathological slide scanning and digital slide generation, the scanning head is a core optical component. Its replacement efficiency directly affects the equipment utilization rate and diagnostic timeliness. Traditional scanning head replacement requires disassembling multiple sets of screws, cables and mechanical fasteners, which is time-consuming and prone to positioning deviations due to human error, thus affecting the imaging quality. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figures 1-7As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a quick-change assembly for the scanning head of a slicing scanner, including a mounting base 1, a docking block 2, and a lens body 3. The mounting base 1 has two positioning grooves 101 on its surface and a wiring groove 102 on its surface. A cavity 103 is formed inside the mounting base 1, and a ribbon cable interface 11 is fixedly installed inside the wiring groove 102. The lens body 3 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the docking block 2. Two connecting plates 21 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the docking block 2. An adjustment bracket 31 is fixedly mounted at the rear end of the docking block 2. A ribbon cable plug 32 is slidably installed inside the adjustment bracket 31. The output end of the lens body 3 is electrically connected to the input end of the ribbon cable plug 32. Buttons 4 are slidably installed on both sides of the outer wall of the mounting base 1, and a locking block 5 is slidably installed inside the cavity 103. A rotating rod 51 is rotatably mounted on the side of the locking block 5. Two positioning slots 101 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the wiring slot 102. The shape of the connecting plate 21 matches the shape of the positioning slot 101. The ribbon cable interface 11 and the ribbon cable plug 32 are plugged and fixed. A locking slot 211 is opened on one side of the outer wall of the connecting plate 21. One end of the locking block 5 extends into the interior of the positioning slot 101. The extended end of the locking block 5 is a slope. An installation rod 12 is fixedly installed inside the cavity 103. A slider 13 is slidably mounted on the surface of the installation rod 12. A spring 14 is sleeved on the surface of the installation rod 12. One side of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 13. One end of the button 4 is slidably mounted inside the cavity 103. A connecting rod 41 is rotatably mounted on the side of the button 4. The connecting rod 41 and the rotating rod 51 are rotatably connected to both sides of the slider 13.

[0026] In this embodiment, the data scanned by the lens body 3 can be transmitted through the plug-in connection between the ribbon cable interface 11 and the ribbon cable plug 32. One end of the locking block 5 is embedded in the mounting slot 211 to limit the connection plate 21, so that the docking block 2 is fixed on the surface of the mounting base 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the data transmission of the lens body 3. The spring 14 supports the slider 13 to ensure the stability of the locking block 5. The connecting rod 41 is rotatably connected to the slider 13, so that pushing the button 4 can make the connecting rod 41 perform a linkage movement to drive the slider 13 to slide on the surface of the mounting rod 12. The two ends of the rotating rod 51 are connected to the slider 13 and the locking block 5 respectively, so that the slider 13 can simultaneously drive the locking block 5 to move. The locking block 5 retracts into the cavity 103 and moves out from the slot 211, releasing the limitation on the connection plate 21, thereby allowing the docking block 2 to be removed from the surface of the mounting base 1, which facilitates the installation and removal of the lens body 3.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] like Figures 1-7As shown, a sliding push plate 6 is slidably installed inside the positioning groove 101, and a spring 61 is fixedly installed inside the positioning groove 101. The surface of the spring 61 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the sliding push plate 6, and the surface of the sliding push plate 6 abuts against the rear end of the connecting plate 21. A sliding groove 311 is provided on the inner wall of the adjusting frame 31, and a limiting block 33 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the cable plug 32. The limiting block 33 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 311.

[0029] In this embodiment, the ribbon cable plug 32 can slide inside the adjusting bracket 31. The limiting block 33 is installed inside the slide groove 311 to limit the sliding distance of the ribbon cable plug 32. The sliding push plate 6 is installed inside the positioning groove 101 and abuts against the connecting plate 21. The second spring 61 is connected to the sliding push plate 6, so that the sliding push plate 6 can move under the pressure to compress and store the force of the second spring 61. When the fixing of the connecting plate 21 is released, the sliding push plate 6 can push the connecting plate 21 outward, so that a certain distance is reserved between the docking block 2 and the mounting base 1, which facilitates the removal of the docking block 2 and the lens body 3. Since the ribbon cable plug 32 and the ribbon cable interface 11 are connected and fixed by friction, the reserved distance can prevent the docking block 2 and the mounting base 1 from being too close and unable to be removed.

[0030] Working principle: When the lens body 3 is fixed to the surface of the mounting base 1, the connection between the ribbon cable interface 11 and the ribbon cable plug 32 enables the transmission of scanned data from the lens body 3. When the lens body 3 needs to be disassembled and replaced, pressing the buttons 4 on both sides simultaneously causes the connecting rod 41 to move, which in turn drives the slider 13 to slide on the surface of the mounting rod 12. At the same time, the slider 13 pulls the rotating rod 51, which in turn drives the locking block 5 to move. One end of the locking block 5 moves out of the slot 211, releasing the restriction on the connecting plate 21. The spring 61 returns to its original position, causing the sliding push plate 6 to push the connecting plate 21 outward. At the same time, the limiting block 33 slides inside the sliding groove 311, and the ribbon cable interface 11 and the ribbon cable plug... The insertion between the heads 32 prevents the lens body 3 from being pushed outward, leaving a certain distance between the docking block 2 and the mounting base 1, making it easy to remove the docking block 2 and the lens body 3 from the surface of the mounting base 1. When installing a new lens body 3, align the connecting plate 21 with the positioning groove 101 and then push the docking block 2. The positioning groove 101 ensures that the ribbon cable interface 11 and the ribbon cable plug 32 are aligned for connection. The inclined surface of the locking block 5 is pushed and retracts inward. When the locking groove 211 is aligned with the locking block 5, the locking block 5 moves back and re-embeds into the locking groove 211 to limit and fix the connecting plate 21, thereby enabling quick disassembly and replacement of the lens body 3.
