Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pathological slide analysis technology, specifically relating to an asynchronous duplex slide transport device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern medicine, with the continuous advancement of technology, observing changes in cell morphology for pathological diagnosis has become an important method for doctors. Clinically, the symptoms and signs of many diseases are often atypical, making direct diagnosis difficult. In such cases, pathological diagnosis becomes the key basis for clarifying the condition, especially indispensable in the diagnosis of tumors.

[0003] Specifically, after clinicians surgically remove diseased tissue from a patient, the pathology department processes this tissue into thin slices 3-4 micrometers thick and attaches them to a glass slide. These slices containing pathological tissue are called pathological slides. Specialized doctors use microscopes to meticulously observe and analyze these pathological slides, accurately determining the type of disease and subsequently developing targeted treatment plans for patients. This is the irreplaceable core significance of pathological slides in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

[0004] However, due to the limitations of current technology, the slide scanners on the market have obvious shortcomings: multi-slide scanners not only take a long time to scan, but also require manual loading of slides after all scanning is completed, which wastes manpower and affects efficiency; while single-slide scanners, due to their small capacity, have too long waiting time when switching between slides for observation, which also has the problem of low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems mentioned above in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an asynchronous duplex glass slide conveying device.

[0006] To achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An asynchronous duplex glass slide conveying device includes a base plate, on which a vertical mounting frame and a horizontal mounting frame are mounted. The vertical mounting frame is provided with two first slide rails, in which a first displacement mechanism and a second displacement mechanism are respectively mounted. A third displacement mechanism is mounted at the output end of the first displacement mechanism, and a fourth displacement mechanism is mounted at the output end of the second displacement mechanism. A first clamping mechanism is mounted at the output end of the third displacement mechanism, and a second clamping mechanism is mounted at the output end of the fourth displacement mechanism.

[0008] The horizontal mounting frame is equipped with a fifth displacement mechanism, and a hopper box is installed at the output end of the fifth displacement mechanism. Several glass slides are evenly placed in the hopper box.

[0009] The first displacement mechanism and the second displacement mechanism have the same structure, and the first displacement mechanism and the second displacement mechanism are installed in opposite directions. The third displacement mechanism, the fourth displacement mechanism and the fifth displacement mechanism have the same structure. The first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism have the same structure, and the output end directions of the first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism correspond to the hopper box.

[0010] Further specifying, the first displacement mechanism includes a first servo motor, the output end of the first servo motor is connected to a first lead screw, the first lead screw is threadedly connected to a sliding mounting block, and the sliding mounting block is slidably matched with the first slide rail.

[0011] Further specifying, the third displacement mechanism includes a second slide rail, on which a second servo motor is mounted, and the output end of the second servo motor is connected to a second lead screw. The second lead screw is threadedly connected to a movable seat, and the movable seat is slidably mounted on the second slide rail.

[0012] Further specifying, both the first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism are finger cylinders.

[0013] Further specified, an extension mounting plate is installed between the output end of the third displacement mechanism and the first clamping mechanism, and between the output end of the fourth displacement mechanism and the second clamping mechanism.

[0014] The beneficial effects of using this utility model are as follows:

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example

[0025] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, the present invention discloses an asynchronous duplex glass slide conveying device, comprising a base plate 1, on which a vertical mounting frame 2 and a horizontal mounting frame 3 are mounted. The vertical mounting frame 2 is provided with two first slide rails 4, in which a first displacement mechanism 5 and a second displacement mechanism 6 are respectively installed. A third displacement mechanism 7 is installed at the output end of the first displacement mechanism 5, a fourth displacement mechanism 8 is installed at the output end of the second displacement mechanism 6, a first clamping mechanism 9 is installed at the output end of the third displacement mechanism 7, and a second clamping mechanism 10 is installed at the output end of the fourth displacement mechanism 8.

[0026] The horizontal mounting frame 3 is equipped with a fifth displacement mechanism 11. The output end of the fifth displacement mechanism 11 is equipped with a hopper box 12. Several glass slides 13 are evenly placed in the hopper box 12.

[0027] The first displacement mechanism 5 and the second displacement mechanism 6 have the same structure, but their positions and installation directions are opposite. The third displacement mechanism 7, the fourth displacement mechanism 8 and the fifth displacement mechanism 11 have the same structure. The first clamping mechanism 9 and the second clamping mechanism 10 have the same structure, and their output ends correspond to the hopper box 12.

[0028] In this implementation case, the first displacement mechanism 5 and the second displacement mechanism 6 can operate asynchronously without interfering with each other, realizing the vertical position movement of the third displacement mechanism 7 and the fourth displacement mechanism 8 installed at the corresponding output end. The third displacement mechanism 7 and the fourth displacement mechanism 8 can also independently control the operation of the first clamping mechanism 9 and the second clamping mechanism 10 installed at the corresponding output end to clamp the carrier chip 13 in the hopper box 12. The asynchronous and non-interfering operation improves the conveying efficiency, while the automated work saves labor costs.

[0029] During the operation of the first clamping mechanism 9 and the second clamping mechanism 10, the fifth displacement mechanism 11 works in real time to move the glass slide 13 on the hopper box 12 to the designated position, so that the first clamping mechanism 9 and the second clamping mechanism 10 can grasp it well.

[0030] Furthermore, the first displacement mechanism 5, the second displacement mechanism 6, the third displacement mechanism 7, and the fourth displacement mechanism 8 are highly flexible when controlled individually. In addition to asynchronous operation, they can also achieve synchronous operation, thereby realizing synchronous conveying of dual workstations. This is suitable for equipment where the next process to be connected is dual-workstation feeding. Example

[0031] like Fig. 1 As shown, the first displacement mechanism 5 includes a first servo motor 51, the output end of the first servo motor 51 is connected to a first lead screw 52, ​​the first lead screw 52 is threadedly connected to a sliding mounting block 53, and the sliding mounting block 53 is slidably matched with the first slide rail 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first servo motor 51 can be connected to the first lead screw via a coupling or other components. Under the limit of the first slide rail 4, the rotation of the first lead screw 52 allows the sliding mounting block 53 to move smoothly along the first slide rail 4. The sliding mounting block 4 is used to install the corresponding displacement mechanism, realizing the lifting and lowering movement of the displacement mechanism. With this structure, through the precise drive of the servo motor and the high transmission efficiency of the lead screw, high-precision position control of the corresponding installed displacement mechanism can be achieved. With the stable sliding cooperation between the sliding mounting block 53 and the first slide rail 4, the straightness and stability during the displacement process are effectively guaranteed, reducing the impact of mechanical shaking on the machining accuracy. At the same time, the overall structure is compact and the transmission is reliable, which is conducive to improving the operating efficiency and machining quality of the equipment. In fact, the structural design of the first displacement mechanism 5 can also be considered according to the specific situation. Example

[0033] like Fig. 3 As shown, the third displacement mechanism 7 includes a second slide rail 71, a second servo motor 72 is mounted on the second slide rail 71, a second lead screw 73 is connected to the output end of the second servo motor 72, and a movable seat 74 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 73. The movable seat 74 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 71.

[0034] In this implementation case, the implementation and operation principle is the same as that of Embodiment 2. In fact, the structure of Embodiment 2 can be directly used to replace it, which is conducive to the subsequent replacement of spare parts. In fact, the structural design of the third displacement mechanism 7 can also be considered according to the specific situation. Example

[0035] like Fig. 1 , 3 As shown, both the first clamping mechanism 9 and the second clamping mechanism 10 are finger cylinders.

[0036] In this implementation, the cylinder body of the finger cylinder is fixed to the output end of the corresponding position mechanism. Its two symmetrically arranged grippers serve as the gripping execution ends. The inner side of the grippers is fitted with an arc-shaped or planar contact part according to the shape of the glass slide being gripped. The opening and closing action of the grippers is controlled by a solenoid valve connected through an air source pipeline. With this structure, the finger cylinder can achieve rapid gripping and release through air pressure drive. The response speed is fast and the gripping force can be easily adjusted by a pressure regulating valve. The symmetrical design of the grippers ensures the centering of the gripping. The matching contact part can effectively avoid damage to the workpiece. At the same time, the pneumatic drive method has a simple structure and is easy to maintain. It is suitable for high-frequency gripping operations in automated production lines, improving the overall operating efficiency of the equipment. In fact, the rotation of the gripping mechanism 9 can also be considered according to specific circumstances. Example

[0037] like Fig. 3 As shown, extension mounting plates 14 are installed between the output end of the third displacement mechanism 7 and the first clamping mechanism 9, and between the output end of the fourth displacement mechanism 8 and the second clamping mechanism 10.

[0038] In this implementation case, one end of the extended mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the sliding mounting block 53 (output end) of the displacement mechanism via a bolt assembly, while the other end is rigidly connected to the cylinder of the clamping mechanism via a positioning pin and fastening screws. The mounting plate can be reserved with multiple sets of oblong holes to accommodate the installation position adjustment of different clamping mechanisms. With this structure, the extended mounting plate 7 can effectively expand the working radius of the clamping mechanism, enabling the equipment to adapt to the workpiece loading and unloading needs in deeper or narrower spaces. At the same time, the rigid transition of the mounting plate avoids direct rigid interference between the displacement mechanism and the clamping mechanism. The oblong hole design facilitates quick adjustment of the spatial posture of the clamping mechanism, improves the equipment's adaptability to workpieces of different specifications, and ensures that the overall connection is stable and reliable without affecting the transmission of displacement accuracy.

[0039] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
