Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a pathological slide storage box. Background Technology

[0002] The Department of Pathology is a core basic medical department in the hospital and a bridge connecting clinical diagnosis and treatment with basic medical research. Its core function is to reveal the essential characteristics of diseases, such as etiology, lesion type, progression, and benign or malignant, by conducting pathological examinations of human tissues, cells, and body fluids, such as slide preparation, microscopic observation, and molecular detection, thus providing the final diagnostic basis for clinical practice. Pathology slide storage boxes are standardized consumables used exclusively by the Department of Pathology. Their core function is to serve as containers for the centralized storage, protection, and standardized management of pathology slides. Their design must be compatible with the size of standard pathology slides and are usually made of chemically resistant and non-deformable materials.

[0003] Most existing pathology slide storage boxes use standard slides for mounting, or store only one type of slide in the same box, lacking multi-size compatibility design. Forcibly mixing slides of different standards into the same storage box can lead to unstable installation. Slides of different widths and heights will create gaps in the fixed-spaced slots. When the storage box is moved or placed, the slides will wobble and collide with each other in the slots, causing friction between the tissue sample surfaces of adjacent slides, resulting in tissue scratches, staining layer detachment, or even loosening and falling off coverslips, directly losing their diagnostic value. When slides wobble in the box, the slide labels may wear off or fall off, or the slides may shift, causing the label-sample correspondence to become disordered, leading to serious medical errors. This not only affects the formulation of treatment plans but may also lead to medical disputes. Relatively speaking, the thickness difference between different sizes of slides is minimal and generally similar. The core reason is that the thickness needs to be compatible with the standardized equipment in the pathology department. If the thickness fluctuates too much, it will affect the observation accuracy, operational stability, and equipment compatibility.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a pathological slide storage box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a pathological slide storage box to address the technical problem that most pathological slide storage boxes in the related technology use standard slides for installation, or only store one type of slide in the same storage box, lacking multi-size adaptability design and unable to stably install slides of different sizes.

[0006] This application provides a pathological slide storage box, including a box body for placing glass slides and a box lid that is movably disposed on the box body and adapted to seal the box body. The box body is characterized in that: the two ends of the longer side of the box body are symmetrically provided with snap-fit ​​plates, and the snap-fit ​​plates are provided with snap-fit ​​grooves evenly arranged in an array. Movable insert plates are movably snapped on through the snap-fit ​​grooves, and the distance between the two movable insert plates can be adjusted to accommodate glass slides of different widths.

[0007] The lid is provided with multiple spring pressure plate assemblies. When the lid is installed on the box body, the spring pressure plate assemblies adaptively abut against different heights of the glass slide.

[0008] The spring pressure plate assembly can be moved by the movable component, and can adapt to glass slides of different area widths.

[0009] The technical solutions described above in this application embodiment have at least the following technical effects: by adjusting the distance between the two movable inserts, slides of different widths can be adapted, enabling the same box body to accommodate pathological slides of various widths; through the spring pressure plate assembly, when the box lid is closed, the elastic extension and contraction of the spring adapts to the slides of different heights, providing stable longitudinal pressure for the slides; through the spring pressure plate and the moving assembly, the spring pressure plate can move with the adjustment of the distance between the movable inserts, accurately corresponding to slides of different widths, ensuring that each slide can be covered and fixed by the pressure plate.

[0010] In this embodiment, fixed insert plates are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the shorter side of the box body. Storage racks are evenly arranged on the side of the fixed insert plates near the movable insert plates. Storage racks are arranged on both sides of the movable insert plates. A storage slot is formed between two storage racks for placing glass slides.

[0011] This technical solution allows each slide to be placed individually in an independent storage compartment, completely avoiding friction and collision between slides. This prevents problems such as scratching of tissue samples, detachment of coverslips, and wear of staining layers from the source, thus maximizing the protection of the integrity of pathological slides. The width of the storage compartment can be flexibly adjusted with the movement of the movable insert, which can accommodate both standard slides and non-standard width slides such as miniature slides. This works in conjunction with the previous movable insert adjustment design to further enhance the multi-size compatibility of the storage box.

[0012] In this embodiment, the spring pressure plate assembly includes a fixed base, a telescopic base movably disposed within the fixed base, a telescopic spring disposed between the fixed base and the telescopic base, and a pressure plate disposed on the bottom of the telescopic base for adaptively abutting glass slides of different heights.

[0013] This technical solution uses a fixed base as a basic support, allowing the telescopic base to move vertically. A telescopic spring connects the two, providing power and cushioning for the telescopic base's vertical movement through its own elastic deformation. When the lid is closed, the pressure plate contacts the top of the glass slide, and the telescopic spring deforms accordingly with the thickness of the glass slide, causing the telescopic base to extend and retract within the fixed base, ensuring that the pressure plate always fits against the top of the glass slide. The spring's rebound force is converted into a light pressure from the pressure plate on the glass slide, achieving longitudinal fixation of the glass slide.

[0014] In this embodiment, the movable component includes a movable frame disposed on the box cover, and the movable frame is also provided with a movable groove. The fixed seat is movably disposed in the movable groove through a connecting plate, so that the fixed seat can be adjusted in position on the box cover. The connecting plate and the movable frame are limited by a spring pin.

[0015] This technical solution provides a horizontal track for the fixed base via a movable slot on the movable frame, allowing the pressure plate to be flexibly adjusted along the length of the lid to accommodate storage slots with different spacing after the movable insert plate moves. The fixed base and the movable frame are movably connected by a connecting plate, and the elastic locking action of the spring pin quickly locks the adjusted position of the fixed base to prevent it from shifting during use. Combined with the width adjustment function of the movable insert plate, the spring pressure plate assembly can be adjusted synchronously to ensure that the glass slides in each storage slot are accurately abutted by the pressure plate, avoiding misalignment or missed pressure.

[0016] In this embodiment, the movable frame is also provided with evenly arranged snap-fit ​​slots, which are connected to the movable slot. The connecting plate is also provided with a connecting slot at the position corresponding to the snap-fit ​​slot. The spring pin includes an abutting spring disposed in the connecting slot and a limiting pin abutting through the abutting spring.

[0017] This technical solution achieves precise step positioning and reliable locking of the spring pressure plate assembly through a combination of uniformly arrayed snap-fit ​​slots and elastically locking spring pins. Its functions and benefits revolve around improving positioning accuracy, enhancing locking stability, and optimizing operational convenience, while also strengthening the synergy with the overall storage box's multi-specification adaptation logic.

[0018] In this embodiment, the storage rack is a shape formed by splicing an upper rectangle and a lower right-angled trapezoid.

[0019] With this technical solution, the lower right-angled trapezoid forms a natural guide channel through its hypotenuse, while the upper rectangle provides a vertically rigid limiting surface. When the two are spliced ​​together, they form a storage tank sidewall that is wide at the bottom and accurate at the top, stable at the bottom and solid at the top, which not only facilitates the insertion of glass slides but also provides precise positioning.

[0020] In this embodiment, the box body and the box lid are connected by a snap fastener.

[0021] Through this technical solution, the buckle is the core connection mechanism between the box body and the box lid. Its design revolves around the core requirements of the pathological slide storage box for quick opening and closing, stable locking, sealing protection, and coordinated fixation. It is deeply coordinated with the overall design logic of multi-specification adaptation and three-dimensional stable storage. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Most existing pathology slide storage boxes use standard slides for mounting, or store only one type of slide per box, lacking multi-size compatibility design. Forcing different standard slides into the same box can lead to unstable installation. Slides of different widths and heights will create gaps in the fixed-spaced slots. During handling and loading / unloading, the slides will wobble and collide within the slots, causing friction between adjacent slides' tissue sample surfaces, resulting in tissue scratches, staining layer detachment, and even loosening and detachment of coverslips. If a slide falls out, it loses its diagnostic value. Narrow slides cannot be fixed in the slot due to their excessive width, and are prone to tilting and tipping over in the box. When other slides are taken out, they may be squeezed and bumped, causing the slide edges to crack or the whole slide to break. When a wide slide is forcibly inserted into a narrow slot, the pressure will cause stress concentration on the slide, resulting in hidden cracks. When the slides move around in the box, the slide labels may wear off or fall off, or the slides may shift, causing the label and sample correspondence to be confused, leading to serious medical errors. This not only affects the formulation of treatment plans, but may also lead to medical disputes.

[0031] Based on this, in order to improve the technical problems existing in related technologies, most pathological slide storage boxes adopt the installation of standard glass slides, or only store one type of glass slide in the same storage box, lack multi-size adaptation design, and cannot stably install glass slides of different sizes, the embodiments of this application provide the following solutions.

[0032] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a pathological slide storage box, which includes a box body 1 for placing glass slides and a box lid 11 movably disposed on the box body 1 and adapted to seal it. The two ends of the longer side of the box body 1 are symmetrically provided with snap-fit ​​plates 12. The snap-fit ​​plates 12 are provided with snap-fit ​​grooves 121 evenly arranged on them. Movable insert plates 21 are movably snapped on through the snap-fit ​​grooves 121. The distance between the two movable insert plates 21 can be adjusted to accommodate glass slides of different widths.

[0033] The lid 11 is provided with multiple spring pressure plate assemblies 3. When the lid 11 is installed on the body 1, the spring pressure plate assemblies 3 adaptively abut against the glass slide at different heights.

[0034] The spring pressure plate assembly 3 can be moved by the movable assembly 4, which can adapt to glass slides of different area widths.

[0035] The pathology slide storage box provided in this embodiment of the application can accommodate slides of different widths by adjusting the distance between the two movable inserts 21, so that the same box body 1 can accommodate pathology slides of various widths. When the box lid 11 is closed, the spring pressure plate assembly 3 adapts to slides of different heights through the elastic extension and contraction of the spring, providing stable longitudinal pressure for the slides. Through the spring pressure plate 34 and the moving assembly 4, the spring pressure plate 34 can move with the adjustment of the distance between the movable inserts 21, accurately corresponding to slides of different widths, ensuring that each slide can be covered and fixed by the pressure plate 34. This storage box, through the combined design of the width-adjustable inserts, the height-adaptive spring pressure plate 34, and the movable pressure plate 34 assembly, directly solves the problem of the inability to stably store multiple sizes of slides in traditional storage boxes. It reduces the risk of physical damage to slides and loss of diagnostic information, reduces storage consumables and management costs, and improves the standardization and flexibility of pathology sample storage.

[0036] In this embodiment, fixed insert plates 2 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the shorter side of the box body 1. Storage racks 22 are evenly arranged on the side of the fixed insert plate 2 near the movable insert plate 21. Storage racks 22 are arranged on both sides of the movable insert plate 21. A storage slot 23 is formed between the two storage racks 22 for placing glass slides.

[0037] With this design, the independent storage slot 23 allows each slide to be placed individually, completely avoiding friction and collision between slides. This prevents problems such as scratching of tissue samples, detachment of coverslips, and wear of staining layers from the source, thus maximizing the protection of the integrity of pathological slides. The width of the storage slot 23 can be flexibly adjusted as the movable insert 21 moves, which can accommodate both standard slides and non-standard width slides such as miniature slides. This works in conjunction with the previous adjustable design of the movable insert 21 to further enhance the multi-size compatibility of the storage box.

[0038] In this embodiment, the spring pressure plate assembly 3 includes a fixed base 31, a telescopic base 32 movably disposed within the fixed base 31, a telescopic spring 33 disposed between the fixed base 31 and the telescopic base 32, and a pressure plate 34 disposed on the bottom of the telescopic base 32 for adaptively abutting glass slides of different heights.

[0039] With this configuration, the fixed base 31 serves as the basic support, allowing the telescopic base 32 to move vertically. The telescopic spring 33 connects the two, providing power and cushioning for the vertical movement of the telescopic base 32 through its own elastic deformation. When the lid 11 is closed, the pressure plate 34 contacts the top of the slide. The telescopic spring 33 deforms according to the thickness of the slide, causing the telescopic base 32 to extend and retract within the fixed base 31, ensuring that the pressure plate 34 always fits against the top of the slide. The rebound force of the telescopic spring 33 is converted into light pressure on the slide by the pressure plate 34, achieving longitudinal fixation of the slide. Thus, without the need for manual adjustment of any structure, the elastic deformation of the spring alone can adapt to slides of different thicknesses, such as regular, ultra-thin, and thick slides, completely solving the problem of traditional rigid pressure plates 34 either failing to hold the slides down or damaging them, covering the storage needs of all types of slides in the pathology department. Simultaneously, the telescopic... The cushioning properties of spring 33 ensure a soft, elastic contact between the pressure plate 34 and the slide, preventing the slide from breaking or developing hidden cracks due to hard compression. It also prevents tissue samples from being crushed or coverslips from being loosened and detached, maximizing the protection of the slide's integrity. When the lid 11 closes, the pressure plate 34 automatically engages, eliminating the need for additional adjustments and improving the efficiency of pathologists. Simultaneously, the spring's elasticity is durable and stable, providing consistent and appropriate engagement force during long-term storage, preventing slides from shifting or moving within the box, suitable for archiving slides for over 10 years. The longitudinal engagement of this component, combined with the lateral limits and bottom support of the storage slot 23, achieves three-dimensional stability and fixation of the slide vertically, horizontally, and at the bottom. This ensures that even when slides of different sizes are stored together, they remain stable during handling, stacking, and handling, further reducing the risk of damage.

[0040] In this embodiment, the movable component 4 includes a movable frame 41 disposed on the box cover 11. The movable frame 41 is also provided with a movable groove 411. The fixed seat 31 is movably disposed in the movable groove 411 through the connecting plate 42, so that the fixed seat 31 can be adjusted on the box cover 11. The connecting plate 42 and the movable frame 41 are limited by a spring pin 43.

[0041] With this configuration, the movable slot 411 on the movable frame 41 provides a horizontal movable track for the fixed base 31, allowing the pressure plate 34 to be flexibly adjusted along the length of the lid 11 to accommodate the storage slots 23 with different spacings formed after the movable insert plate 21 moves. The fixed base 31 is movably connected to the movable frame 41 via the connecting plate 42, and the elastic locking action of the spring pin 43 quickly locks the adjusted position of the fixed base 31 to prevent it from shifting during use. Combined with the width adjustment function of the movable insert plate 21, the spring pressure plate assembly 3 can be adjusted synchronously to ensure that each storage slot 23 is properly positioned. The slides in section 3 can be precisely abutted by the pressure plate 34, avoiding misalignment or missed pressure. When the movable insert plate 21 adjusts the spacing to form storage slots 23 of different widths, the moving component 4 can drive the spring pressure plate 34 to slide along the moving slot 411, so that the pressure plate 34 is precisely aligned with the top of each storage slot 23. This avoids the problem of the traditional fixed-position pressure plate 34 pressing off the wide slot and not pressing the narrow slot, ensuring that each slide can be vertically abutted by the pressure plate 34. This further strengthens the three-dimensional fixing effect of left and right limit, up and down pressure and precise position, and completely eliminates the risk of misalignment and shaking of the slides in the box.

[0042] In this embodiment, the movable frame 41 is also provided with evenly arranged snap-fit ​​grooves 412, which are connected to the movable groove 411. The connecting plate 42 is also provided with a connecting groove 431 at the position corresponding to the snap-fit ​​groove 412. The spring pin 43 includes an abutment spring 432 disposed in the connecting groove 431 and a limiting pin 433 abutted by the abutment spring 432.

[0043] This configuration, through the combination of uniformly arrayed snap-fit ​​slots 412 and elastically locking spring pins 43, achieves precise step-by-step positioning and reliable locking of the spring pressure plate assembly 3. Its benefits revolve around improved positioning accuracy, enhanced locking stability, and optimized operational convenience, while also strengthening synergy with the overall storage box's multi-specification compatibility logic. The uniformly arrayed snap-fit ​​slots 412 on the movable frame 41 connect with the movable slot 411 to form standardized positioning nodes, providing a clear locking position for the limit pins 433, ensuring the spring pressure plate assembly... The adjustment step distance of component 3 is precisely matched with the spacing adjustment of storage slot 23; the abutment spring 432 in the connecting slot 431 provides continuous elastic thrust to the limit pin 433, pushing the limit pin 433 into the corresponding snap-fit ​​slot 412 to form a mechanical locking structure, preventing the spring pressure plate assembly 3 from shifting along the moving slot 411 during use; the uniform array design of the snap-fit ​​slot 412 can match the different step distances when the movable insert plate 21 adjusts the width of storage slot 23, so that the position of the pressure plate 34 can be precisely aligned step by step with the change of the spacing of storage slot 23.

[0044] In this embodiment, the storage rack 22 is a shape formed by splicing an upper rectangle and a lower right-angled trapezoid.

[0045] With this configuration, the lower right-angled trapezoid forms a natural guiding channel through its hypotenuse, while the upper rectangle provides a vertically rigid limiting surface. When the two are joined together, they form the storage slot 23 sidewall, which is wide at the bottom and accurate at the top, stable at the bottom and solid at the top. This design facilitates the insertion of glass slides and provides precise positioning.

[0046] In this embodiment, the box body 1 and the box lid 11 are connected by a snap fastener 5.

[0047] With this setup, the buckle 5 serves as the core connecting mechanism between the box body 1 and the box lid 11. Its design revolves around the core requirements of the pathological slide storage box for quick opening and closing, stable locking, sealing protection, and coordinated fixation, and is deeply coordinated with the overall design logic of multi-specification adaptation and three-dimensional stable storage.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
