Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass slide conveying technology, specifically relating to a multi-axis glass slide conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, doctors in hospitals can now morphologically diagnose diseases by observing changes in cells, thus enabling pathological diagnosis. Many diseases are difficult to diagnose based on clinical symptoms and signs alone, requiring pathological diagnosis for a final definitive diagnosis, especially in tumors. After surgically removing the diseased tissue, pathologists slice the tissue into 3-4 μm thin sections and attach them to glass slides. These slides containing pathological tissue are called pathological sections. Through examination and analysis under a microscope, professional doctors can determine the type of disease and develop corresponding treatment plans for the patient. This is the clinical significance of pathological sections.

[0003] However, current scanning and transport equipment for pathological slides has many problems. Multi-slide scanners on the market have long scanning times, and require manual loading of slides after scanning, wasting manpower. Single-slide scanners have small capacity and low efficiency. Meanwhile, doctors need real-time observation and remote real-time pathology consultations in their work, the ability to switch between different objective magnifications, move individual slides, and retrieve different sequenced pathological slides for repeated analysis. They also need a method of viewing as close to microscopic observation as possible, as well as a rapid-response slide transport device. However, existing technologies cannot meet these needs; therefore, a multi-axis slide transport device is urgently needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

This design achieves stable horizontal displacement conveying.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a third motor mounted on the bottom of the connecting fastener, and the power output end of the third motor is connected to a clamping head. This design facilitates the clamping of glass slides.

[0010] Further specifying, the slide displacement mechanism includes a displacement mounting frame mounted on a worktable, a fourth motor installed within the displacement mounting frame, a third lead screw connected to the power output end of the fourth motor, the third lead screw rotatably disposed within the displacement mounting frame, a third slider rotatably connected to the third lead screw, a hopper box mounting plate mounted on the top of the third slider, and the hopper box fixedly mounted on the hopper box mounting plate.

[0020] Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a multi-axis slide conveying device has a vertical displacement mechanism 1 installed on the top of the worktable. The power output end of the vertical displacement mechanism 1 is connected to a horizontal displacement mechanism 8. The power output end of the horizontal displacement mechanism 8 is connected to a clamping mechanism 12. A slide displacement mechanism 14 is installed on one side of the top of the worktable. A hopper box 5 is installed on the power output end of the slide displacement mechanism 14. Several slides 4 are stored in the hopper box 5.

[0021] In this embodiment, during use, by controlling the vertical displacement mechanism 1 to start, the vertical displacement mechanism 1 drives the horizontal displacement mechanism 8, and the horizontal displacement mechanism 8 drives the clamping mechanism 12 to move vertically up and down. By starting the horizontal displacement mechanism 8, the horizontal displacement mechanism 8 drives the clamping mechanism 12 to move left and right, thereby facilitating the clamping mechanism 12 to clamp the glass slides 4 in the hopper box 5. By controlling the glass slide displacement mechanism 14 to start, the glass slide displacement mechanism 14 can drive the hopper box 5 to move back and forth, thereby facilitating the clamping mechanism 12 to clamp the glass slides 4 on both sides of the hopper box 5, improving the usage effect.

[0022] Example 2, as Figure 1As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure to the embodiment 1: the vertical displacement mechanism 1 includes a vertical mounting frame installed on the top of the workbench, a first motor 6 installed at the bottom of the vertical mounting frame, a first lead screw 2 connected to the power output end of the first motor 6, the first lead screw 2 rotatably installed in the vertical mounting frame, the first lead screw 2 rotatably connected to a first slider 3, and guide rails slidably connected to both sides of the first slider 3, the guide rails being installed in the vertical mounting frame.

[0023] In this embodiment, during use, the first motor 6 is started, causing the first motor 6 to drive the first lead screw 2 to rotate. The first lead screw 2 drives the first slider 3 to move up and down along the guide rail within the vertical mounting frame, thereby causing the first slider 3 to drive the horizontal displacement mechanism 8 to perform vertical displacement movement.

[0024] Example 3, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure based on embodiment 1: the horizontal displacement mechanism 8 includes a horizontal mounting frame installed on the outside of the first slider 3, a second motor 7 is installed on the horizontal mounting frame, the power output end of the second motor 7 is connected to a second lead screw 9, the second lead screw 9 is rotatably installed in the horizontal mounting frame, the second lead screw 9 is rotatably connected to a second slider 10, and a connecting fastener 11 is installed at the bottom of the second slider 10.

[0025] In this embodiment, when in use, the second motor 7 is started, the second motor 7 drives the second lead screw 9 to rotate, the second lead screw 9 drives the second slider 10 to move left and right in the horizontal mounting frame, and the second slider 10 drives the connecting fastener 11, the connecting fastener 11 drives the clamping mechanism 12 to move left and right.

[0026] Example 4, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure to the embodiment 1: the clamping mechanism 12 includes a third motor 18 installed at the bottom of the connecting fastener 11, and the power output end of the third motor 18 is connected to a clamping head 19.

[0027] In this embodiment, during use, the third motor 18 is started, which controls the clamping head 19 to clamp the glass slide 4 on the hopper box 5. The vertical displacement mechanism 1 controls the working height position of the clamping mechanism 12. The horizontal displacement mechanism 8 controls the clamping mechanism 12 to move to the glass slide 4 for clamping and then move back, so that the clamping head 19 can clamp the glass slide 4 and take it out of the hopper box 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, during use, the fourth motor 13 is started, causing the fourth motor 13 to drive the third lead screw 15 to rotate within the displacement mounting frame. The third lead screw 15 drives the third slider 16, which in turn drives the hopper box mounting plate 17.
