Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical testing technology, and in particular to a dyeing and drying combined device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the staining and drying processes for sample slides are typically separated into different workstations, resulting in excessively large equipment footprints and hindering efficient use of laboratory space. Furthermore, existing drying technologies often employ single-sided airflow drying, applying pressure only to the upper surface of the slide. While the upper surface moisture is quickly removed, the lower surface moisture, lacking direct airflow, relies on slow diffusion, leading to limited overall efficiency and uneven drying. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art and provide a combined dyeing and drying device. This combined device integrates the dyeing and drying mechanisms into a compact structure with a small footprint, facilitating efficient use of laboratory space. Furthermore, upgrading the traditional single-sided airflow drying to simultaneous airflow drying on both the upper and lower surfaces significantly improves drying efficiency. Because the lower surface receives airflow of equal intensity to the upper surface, the gradient moisture distribution phenomenon present in traditional single-sided airflow is eliminated, resulting in a more uniform drying rate across the upper and lower surfaces and edge areas of the slide. This greatly improves drying uniformity and enhances sample preparation quality and detection reliability.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

A ventilation opening is opened on one side of the staining chamber. One end of the shaped duct is inserted into the ventilation opening of the staining chamber, and the other end is connected to the fan.

[0008] As an optimization, the irregular duct is horn-shaped, which includes a cylindrical section, a rectangular flat section, and an intermediate curved section connecting the cylindrical section and the rectangular flat section. The rectangular flat section has a long strip channel in the middle, and the front end of the rectangular flat section is inserted into the ventilation opening of the staining box. The long strip channel of the rectangular flat section is directly opposite the length direction of the glass slide, and the width of the long strip channel of the rectangular flat section is greater than the width of the glass slide.

The dyeing and drying combined device includes an integrated dyeing mechanism 10 and a drying mechanism 20. The dyeing mechanism 10 includes a dyeing chamber 11, a dye dispensing assembly 12, and a slide adjusting assembly 13. The slide adjusting assembly 13 includes a slide adjusting frame 135 located inside the dyeing chamber 11, capable of supporting a slide 30. The dye dispensing assembly 12 includes a dyeing nozzle assembly 127, located above the slide adjusting frame 135. The drying mechanism 20 includes a fan 22 and an irregularly shaped duct 21 that can simultaneously blow air onto the upper and lower surfaces of the slide 30. A ventilation opening 111 is opened on one side of the dyeing chamber 11. One end of the irregularly shaped duct 21 is inserted into the ventilation opening 111 of the dyeing chamber 11, and the other end is connected to the fan 22. This design integrates the dyeing and drying mechanisms, resulting in a compact structure, small footprint, and efficient use of laboratory space. In addition, upgrading the traditional single-sided airflow drying to simultaneous airflow drying on both the upper and lower surfaces significantly improves drying efficiency. Since the lower surface receives airflow of the same intensity as the upper surface, the gradient moisture distribution phenomenon of the upper dry and lower wet that exists in the traditional single-sided airflow is eliminated, making the drying rate of the upper and lower surfaces and edge areas of the slide more consistent, greatly improving drying uniformity, and improving sample preparation quality and detection reliability.

[0032] Please see Figures 6-7 , Figure 6 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the irregularly shaped duct of a dyeing and drying combined device according to some embodiments of this utility model; Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of a special-shaped duct in a dyeing and drying combined device according to some embodiments of the present invention. The special-shaped duct 21 is generally trumpet-shaped, including a cylindrical section 211, a rectangular flat section 213, and a middle curved section 212 connecting the cylindrical section 211 and the rectangular flat section 213. A long strip channel 2131 is opened in the middle of the rectangular flat section 213, and the front end of the rectangular flat section 213 is inserted into the ventilation opening 111 of the dyeing box 11. The long strip channel 2131 of the rectangular flat section 213 faces the length direction of the glass slide 30, and the width of the long strip channel 2131 of the rectangular flat section 213 is greater than the width of the glass slide 30. This design facilitates the synchronous airflow drying of the upper and lower surfaces of the glass slide; the setting of the middle curved section will further reduce airflow resistance, allowing more airflow to be blown; the setting of the rectangular flat section makes the airflow more concentrated, effectively improving the air blowing efficiency of the upper and lower surfaces of the glass slide.
