Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical testing technology, and in particular to a glass slide flipping and rotating transport device. Background Technology

[0002] A glass slide is a glass or quartz plate used to hold objects when observing them under a microscope. It is usually a long rectangular structure with a handle at the top for hand or mechanical clamping, and a detection section at the bottom for coating the cells or tissues to be tested.

[0003] In existing technologies, a mechanical gripper can hold the slide by its handle, then the slide, with the detection section facing down, is vertically inserted into the cells or tissue to be tested. Finally, the slide is extracted from the cells or tissue, thus completing the automated slide preparation process. However, there are no reports on how to automatically deliver the prepared slide to the testing area for testing, which is clearly detrimental to the automated slide testing process. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a glass slide flipping and rotating transport device.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0006] A glass slide flipping and rotating transport device, characterized in that it includes a mounting plate, on which a support frame and a glass slide rotating disk are sequentially arranged along its length;

[0007] A slide flipping box is hinged to the support frame, and an elastic limiting member is connected between the slide flipping box and the support frame. The support of the elastic limiting member allows the slide flipping box to flip from a horizontal position to a vertical position.

[0008] The slide rotating disk is horizontally connected to the mounting plate, and when the slide flipping box is flipped to the horizontal position, it is on the same horizontal plane as the slide rotating disk and the two are adjacent to each other.

[0009] The linear drive module has a push rod sheet metal connected to its drive end. The push rod sheet metal is located on one side of the slide flipping box. It is driven by the linear drive module to move to connect with the side of the slide flipping box. After pushing the slide flipping box to a horizontal position, the push rod sheet metal pushes the slides on the slide flipping box onto the slide rotating disk.

[0010] Furthermore, the slide flipping box is a frame structure with two flipping box side plates. The bottom surfaces of the two flipping box side plates are connected to the flipping box bottom plate. A side plate groove is opened on the inner wall of the end of the two flipping box side plates near the slide rotating disk, and the slide is stuck in the side plate groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the push rod sheet metal is a Z-shaped part with left and right reversals. Its bottom surface is connected to the drive end of the linear drive module. Below the top surface of the push rod sheet metal, a pressure roller part and a push plate part are arranged side by side along the width direction of the glass slide flipping box. A pressure roller is rolled on the pressure roller part. The push plate part is formed by bending the top surface of the push rod sheet metal downward toward the front end of the glass slide rotating disk, and is used to push out the glass slide between the grooves of the two side plates.

[0012] The pressure roller corresponds to the position of the side plate of the glass slide flipping box on the side away from the push plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the linear drive module includes a drive assembly and a linear guide rail. The linear guide rail is mounted on a mounting plate and is parallel to the direction in which the glass slide is pushed from the glass slide flipping box onto the glass slide rotating disk. One end of the sheet metal bottom surface of the push rod is slidably connected to the linear guide rail, and the other end is connected to the drive assembly.

[0014] A pressure roller sheet is slidably connected to the linear guide rail. The pressure roller sheet is movably connected to the push rod sheet and is located on the side of the pressure roller sheet away from the glass slide rotating disk. A pressure roller part is connected to the top of the pressure roller sheet, and a pressure roller is slidably connected to the pressure roller part, and it is set on the same side as the pressure roller on the push rod sheet.

[0015] Furthermore, the pressure roller sheet metal is provided with a first magnet block; the push rod sheet metal is provided with a second magnet block, and the push rod sheet metal and the pressure roller sheet metal are movably connected by the magnetic attraction between the first magnet block and the second magnet block.

[0016] Furthermore, a positioning post is provided on one side of the linear guide rail, and the positioning post is located at the junction of the slide flipping box and the slide rotating disk when the slide flipping box is flipped to the horizontal position.

[0017] The lower end of the pressure roller sheet metal is provided with a limiting protrusion on the side facing the positioning column;

[0018] As the pressure roller sheet moves from the glass slide flipping box to the glass slide rotating disk along with the push rod sheet, when the limiting protrusion abuts against the positioning post, the first magnet block and the second magnet block are separated by force, and the pressure roller sheet stops.

[0019] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes several synchronous pulleys, a synchronous belt wound around the synchronous pulleys, and a synchronous pulley rotation drive motor;

[0020] Several synchronous pulleys are staggered, and one of the synchronous pulleys is connected to the drive end of the synchronous pulley rotation drive motor. The mounting plate has a synchronous pulley at each end along its length, so that the synchronous belt between the synchronous pulleys at both ends of the mounting plate is parallel to the linear guide rail. The other end of the bottom surface of the push rod sheet metal is connected to the synchronous belt between the synchronous pulleys at both ends of the mounting plate.

[0021] Furthermore, sheet metal limiting plates are provided on the sides of the pressure roller sheet metal and push rod sheet metal that are away from the timing belt;

[0022] A second photoelectric sensor switch is provided at both ends of the linear guide along its length; when any sheet metal limit piece moves to the second photoelectric sensor switch, the pressure roller sheet metal or push rod sheet metal stops.

[0023] Furthermore, the mounting plate has a mounting through hole at the end away from the slide flipping box. The fixed end of the rotary motor is mounted on the mounting plate, and its driving end passes through the mounting through hole and is connected to the turntable shaft. The slide rotating disk is connected to the turntable shaft.

[0024] A rotation limit plate is provided on the turntable shaft, and a first photoelectric sensor switch is provided on the mounting plate on the side of the turntable shaft away from the support frame; when the rotation limit plate rotates to the first photoelectric sensor switch, the glass slide rotating disk stops, and the glass slide rotating disk is parallel to the length direction of the mounting plate.

[0025] Furthermore, the elastic limiting member is a torsion spring, one end of which is wound around the support frame, and the other end of which abuts against the bottom surface of the glass slide flipping box in a vertical direction.

[0026] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are:

[0027] 1. This utility model, through the combined use of a linear drive module, push rod sheet metal and pressure roller sheet metal, slide flipping box and support frame, and slide rotation mechanism, can realize the automatic flipping, transfer, rotation, and final push-out process of the slide with the detection part facing the detection area. It has a high degree of automation and greatly improves the efficiency of automated slide detection.

[0028] 2. The push rod sheet metal and the pressure roller sheet metal are movably connected by the first magnet block and the second magnet block. With the use of the positioning block and the limiting protrusion, the reset action of the push rod sheet metal after completing the pushing action is realized, which ensures the continuity of operation of this utility model. At the same time, due to its simple structure, it greatly reduces the production and later maintenance costs.

[0029] 3. The slide rotation mechanism is equipped with a rotation limit plate and a first photoelectric sensor switch to ensure that the slide rotation disk is always in the same plane as the horizontal slide flipping box after rotation, so as to ensure the smooth feeding and transfer of the slide.

[0030] 4. The linear drive module of this utility model adopts a linear guide rail, synchronous wheel and synchronous belt structure, which can slowly push the glass slide flipping box from the vertical position to the horizontal position, preventing the glass slide from breaking or being thrown out, and providing a strong guarantee for subsequent glass slide transfer, glass slide rotation and glass slide pushing and unloading.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0040] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a slide flipping and rotating conveying device, used to first flip and rotate a slide 000, and finally push the slide 000 to the detection device. The slide 000 is as follows... Figure 2As shown, it has a handheld part 001 and a detection part 002, and the glass slide 000 is eventually pushed out with its detection part 002 facing the detection device.

[0041] This utility model includes a mounting plate 100, on which a support frame 200 and a slide rotation mechanism are sequentially arranged along its length. A slide flipping box 300 is hinged to the support frame 200. A linear drive module is also provided on the mounting plate 100 and on one side of the support frame 200 and the slide rotation mechanism.

[0042] Specifically, a support frame 200 is mounted on the mounting plate 100, and a slide flipping box 300 is movably connected to the support frame 200. The support frame 200 includes two support rods 201 that are spaced apart relative to each other along the width direction of the mounting plate. The bottom of the two support rods 201 is fixed to the mounting plate, and the upper ends of the two support rods 201 are connected by bracket screws 202 to form a door-like support frame. The bottom surface of the slide flipping box 300 is symmetrically provided with two connecting ears 301 with through holes. The two connecting ears 301 are rotatably connected to the bracket screws 202. An elastic limiting member 203 is connected between the slide flipping box 300 and the bracket screws 202. The support of the elastic limiting member 203 allows the slide flipping box 300 to flip from a horizontal position to a vertical position. In this utility model, the elastic limiting member 203 is a torsion spring.

[0043] Specifically, one end of the elastic limiting member 203 is wrapped around the middle part of the bracket screw 202, and the other end is vertically abutted against the bottom surface of the slide flipping box 300 and located between the two connecting ears 301. When the elastic limiting member 203 is in a natural, unforced state, the slide flipping box 300 is perpendicular to the mounting plate 100 in the vertical direction. When an external force is applied to the slide flipping box 300 in the direction of flipping the slide rotating disk 400, the slide flipping box 300 flips around the bracket screw 202 to a horizontal position parallel to the mounting plate 100. When the external force disappears, the deformation restoring force of the elastic limiting member 203 causes the slide flipping box 300 to flip back to the vertical position.

[0044] When the slide flipping box 300 is in a vertical position, the robotic arm or other multi-axis driven gripper picks up the slide holding part 001 and places the slide into the slide flipping box 300. At this time, the slide detection part 002 is located in the downward direction.

[0045] The slide flipping box 300 is a rectangular frame structure with two flipping box side plates 302. The two flipping box side plates 302 are connected to a flipping box bottom plate 303. The upper surface of the flipping box bottom plate 303 and the two flipping box side plates 302 form a recessed compartment. The bottom surface of the flipping box bottom plate 303 is provided with the two connecting ears 301 mentioned above. Both ends of the slide flipping box 300 along its length direction are open to allow the slides 000 to be inserted and removed. One end of each of the two flip box side plates 302 is recessed inward toward its central axis, forming an inner convex strip. A stepped surface 3021 is formed on the front end of each inner convex strip. On the other end of the two flip box side plates 302, a side plate groove 3022 is formed along its length on the inner side wall of each flip box side plate 302. The bottom surface of each side plate groove 3022 is connected to the stepped surface 3021. The side plate grooves 3022 and their corresponding two stepped surfaces 3021 on the two flip box side plates 302 together form a glass-carrying area. The two sides of the glass slide 000 are respectively placed in the side plate grooves 3022, and the bottom edge of the detection part 002 of the glass slide is placed on the two stepped surfaces 3021.

[0046] Preferably, to facilitate the introduction and pushing of the slide onto the slide rotating disk 400, the bottom plate 303 of the flip box is provided with a ramp at one end away from the step surface 3021, and the grooves 3022 on both sides of the plate are provided with a funnel-shaped guide opening 3023 that matches the ramp surface at one end away from the step surface 3021. That is, the end of the slide flip box 300 with the ramp surface and the guide opening 3023 is both the slide inlet and the slide outlet.

[0047] Preferably, the length of the side plate grooves 3022 is less than the length of the detection part 002, that is, when the glass slide is located in the glass carrying area, the handheld part 001 of the glass slide is located outside the glass carrying area; the other end of the side plate grooves 3022 is away from the guide port 3023, and a clearance space is also provided between the side plate grooves 3022.

[0048] The slide rotation mechanism includes a rotary motor 401 mounted on a mounting plate 100 and a slide rotation disk 400 connected to the drive end of the rotary motor.

[0049] As a preferred option, to make reasonable use of space, the mounting plate 100 is provided with a mounting through hole. The fixed end of the rotary motor 401 is located on the back of the mounting plate 100, and its driving end is connected to a turntable shaft 4011. The turntable shaft 4011 passes through the mounting through hole and is connected to the glass slide rotating disk 400. The rotary motor 401 drives the glass slide rotating disk 400 to perform horizontal rotation and rotate it to a position parallel to the length direction of the mounting plate.

[0050] The slide rotating disk 400 is rectangular and has two side baffles. The two side baffles are connected to a bottom baffle. The upper surface of the bottom baffle and the two side baffles form a recess. Each of the two side baffles protrudes towards its central axis to form a rotating disk protrusion 4001. The two sides of the slide 000 along its length are placed on their corresponding rotating disk protrusions 4001.

[0051] When the slide flipping box 300 is flipped to a horizontal position around the bracket screw 202, the guide opening 3023 of the slide flipping box 300 is adjacent to the rearward side of the slide rotating disk 400, and the bottom surface of the side plate groove 3022 of the slide flipping box 300 and the rotating disk protrusion 4001 are on the same horizontal plane. The side plate groove 3022 and the rotating disk protrusion 4001 on the same side are correspondingly positioned so that the slide can be pushed from the slide flipping box 300 onto the slide rotating disk 400. The height of the side plate 302 of the flipping box is higher than the height of the baffles on both sides of the slide rotating disk 400. There is an appropriate clearance between the adjacent ends of the slide flipping box 300 and the slide rotating disk 400 so that the rotary motor 401 can drive the slide rotating disk 400 to rotate around the axis.

[0052] Furthermore, a rotation limit plate 4012 is provided on the turntable shaft 4011, and a first photoelectric sensor switch 4013 is provided on the mounting plate 100 at a position corresponding to the rotation limit plate 4012. When the rotary motor 401 drives the glass slide rotating disk 400 to rotate 180° around its axis to the first photoelectric sensor switch 4013, the glass slide rotating disk 400 stops, and at this time the glass slide rotating disk 400 is located in a position parallel to the length direction of the mounting plate.

[0053] In order to automatically flip the slide flipping box 300 from a vertical state to a horizontal state, and to push the slide 000 in the slide flipping box 300 onto the slide rotating disk 400, and to continue to push the slide 000 out after rotating on the slide rotating disk 400, the mounting plate 100 is also equipped with a linear drive module.

[0054] The linear drive module includes a drive assembly, a linear guide rail 500, a push rod sheet metal 600 and a pressure roller sheet metal 700 that are slidably connected to the linear guide rail.

[0055] A linear guide rail 500 is set on one side of the mounting plate 100 along the length of the mounting plate and parallel to the glass slide rotating disk 400. Two sliders 5001 are arranged on the linear guide rail 500 from left to right. A first fixing block 5002 is connected to one slider 5001, and a second fixing block 5003 is connected to the other slider 5001 closer to the glass slide rotating disk 400. A pressure roller sheet metal 700 is connected to the first fixing block 5002, and a push rod sheet metal 600 is connected to the second fixing block 5003.

[0056] The pressure roller sheet metal 700 is generally Z-shaped with a left-right reversal. It includes a pressure roller connecting seat 701, with a pressure roller part 702 detachably connected to the upper end of the pressure roller connecting seat 701. The bottom of the pressure roller connecting seat 701 is arranged parallel to the horizontal direction and is connected to the first fixing block 5002. The pressure roller part 702 is arranged parallel to the mounting plate 100. The pressure roller part 702 includes a pressure roller fixing plate 7021 arranged parallel to the mounting plate. A locking interface is opened at each of the front and rear ends along the length direction of the mounting plate. A screw passes through a locking interface along the width direction of the pressure roller fixing plate 7021 and is connected to the upper end of the pressure roller connecting seat 701. A pressure roller 7022 is rolled and connected to the screw in each locking interface. When the slide flipping box 300 is flipped to the horizontal position, the pressure roller part 702 is located above the flipping box side plate 302 of the slide flipping box 300 near the linear guide rail, and each pressure roller 7022 abuts against the surface of the flipping box side plate 302.

[0057] Furthermore, a first magnet block 801 is provided on the bottom of the pressure roller connecting seat 701 and on the side adjacent to the push rod sheet metal 600; a limiting protrusion 703 is also connected to the side wall of the pressure roller connecting seat 701 facing the glass slide flip box 300; preferably, a limiting protrusion 703 is provided on the upper and lower sides of the pressure roller connecting seat 701 along its vertical direction.

[0058] The push rod sheet metal 600 is shaped like a Z-shape with its left and right sides reversed. The bottom surface of the push rod sheet metal 600 is parallel to the horizontal direction, and its top surface is on the same side as the slide flipping box 300, also parallel to the horizontal direction. The top surface of the push rod sheet metal 600 faces the front end towards the slide rotating disk 400, and the side near the lower recess in the slide flipping box 300 folds down to form a push plate part 601. When the slide flipping box 300 is flipped to the horizontal position, the push plate part 601 is located above the area between the two inner protrusions, and the width of the push plate part 601 is not greater than the size between the two inner protrusions, so as to push the slide subsequently. On the push rod sheet metal 600, and below its top surface, there is also the aforementioned pressure roller part 702. The pressure roller part 702 is arranged side by side with the push plate part 601, and the pressure roller part 702 on the push rod sheet metal 600 and the pressure roller part 702 on the pressure roller sheet metal 700 are arranged on the same side and their positions correspond to each other. The pressure roller portion 702 on the push rod sheet metal 600 is the same as the pressure roller portion 702 on the pressure roller sheet metal 700, and will not be described again here.

[0059] Furthermore, a second magnet block 802 is provided on the bottom surface of the push rod sheet metal 600 and on the side adjacent to the pressure roller sheet metal 700. The first magnet block 801 and the second magnet block 802 are positioned opposite each other. The push rod sheet metal 600 and the pressure roller sheet metal 700 are connected and merged through the adsorption effect between the first magnet block 801 and the second magnet block 802.

[0060] The drive assembly includes several synchronous pulleys 501, idler pulleys 502 for adjusting the tension of the synchronous belt, a synchronous belt 503 wound around the synchronous pulleys 501 and idler pulleys 502, and a synchronous pulley rotation drive motor 504.

[0061] Specifically, the three synchronous pulleys 501 are arranged in a staggered triangular array. Two synchronous pulleys 501 are respectively located at both ends of the mounting plate 100 along its length and on the side of the linear guide rail near the glass slide rotating disk 400. One synchronous pulley is located between the two synchronous pulleys 501 and is connected to the drive end of the synchronous pulley rotation drive motor 504. An idler pulley 502 is located between the synchronous pulleys 501. The synchronous belt between the synchronous pulleys 501 at both ends of the mounting plate 100 along its length is parallel to the linear guide rail 500.

[0062] Preferably, a mounting through hole is also provided on the mounting plate 100 near the rotary motor 401. The fixed end of the synchronous pulley rotation drive motor 504 is mounted on the back of the mounting plate 100, and its driving end passes through the mounting through hole and is connected to the synchronous pulley.

[0063] The aforementioned second fixed block 5003 is fixedly, snapped, or detachably connected to the synchronous belt 503 on the side near the linear guide rail 500. When the synchronous pulley rotation drive motor 504 drives the synchronous pulley 501 to rotate, it drives the synchronous belt 503 to move, thereby synchronously driving the push rod sheet metal 600 on the second fixed block 5003 and the pressure roller sheet metal 700 that is magnetically attracted to the push rod sheet metal 600 to move along the linear guide rail 500.

[0064] Furthermore, a positioning post 803 is provided on the mounting plate 100, between the slide flipping box 300 and the slide rotating disk 400, and the positioning post 803 is located on the side close to the synchronous belt 503.

[0065] Preferably, a second photoelectric sensor switch 505 is provided at both ends of the linear guide rail 500 along its length, and a sheet metal limiting piece 804 is provided on the side of the pressure roller sheet 700 and the push rod sheet metal 600 away from the glass slide flip box 300. When either sheet metal limiting piece 804 moves to the second photoelectric sensor switch 505, the pressure roller sheet metal 700 or the push rod sheet metal 600 stops.

[0066] The operation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0067] Feeding:

[0068] like Figures 1-2As shown, under the action of the elastic limiting member 203, the slide flipping box 300 is in a vertical state with the guide opening 3023 facing upward and perpendicular to the mounting plate. The pressure roller sheet metal 700 and the push rod sheet metal 600 are in a magnetically attracted connection state and are located on the side of the slide flipping box 300 away from the slide rotating disk 400. The hand-held part 001 of the robot arm holds the slide 000 and inserts the slide 000 into the side plate grooves 3022 in the vertical direction. At this time, the detection part 002 of the slide 000 is located in the side plate groove 3022, and the hand-held part 001 is located outside the side plate groove 3022.

[0069] Slide flipping:

[0070] The synchronous pulley rotation drive motor 504 drives the synchronous pulley 501 to rotate, thereby driving the synchronous belt 501 to drive the second fixed block 5003, the push rod sheet metal 600 on the second fixed block 5003, the first fixed block 5002 and the pressure roller sheet metal 700 on the first fixed block 5002 to move synchronously along the linear guide rail 500.

[0071] As the push rod sheet metal 600 moves along the linear guide rail 500 from the slide flipping box 300 towards the slide rotating disk 400, the front end of the push rod sheet metal 600 abuts against the flipping box side plate 302 of the slide flipping box 300 near the linear guide rail 500. As it continues to move, the pressure roller 7022 in the pressure roller part of the push rod sheet metal 600 abuts against the surface of the flipping box side plate 302 of the slide flipping box 300 near the linear guide rail. During its continued movement, it applies downward pressure to the slide flipping box 300, causing the slide flipping box 300 to slowly flip to a horizontal position. Due to the magnetic attraction between the pressure roller sheet metal 700 and the push rod sheet metal 600, the pressure roller part 702 of the pressure roller sheet metal 700 also moves synchronously and acts on the surface of the flipping box side plate 302.

[0072] Glass slide transfer:

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, when the slide flipping box 300 is flipped to the horizontal position, the hand-held part 001 on the slide is placed on the two rotating disc protrusions 4001 on the slide rotating disk 400, and the push plate part 601 is located above the area between the two inner protrusions. As the push rod sheet metal 600 continues to move towards the slide rotating disk 400, after the push plate part 601 moves to the end of the detection part 002 of the slide 000, it simultaneously pushes the slide towards the slide rotating disk 400. When the slide is completely pushed onto the slide rotating disk 400, the slide is placed towards the slide flipping box 300 with the detection part 002 in the direction of the slide flipping box 300, and the push rod sheet metal 600 moves to the position post 803 at this time, and the pressure roller sheet metal 700 follows closely behind, and the drive assembly stops driving.

[0074] glass slide rotation

[0075] like Figure 4-5As shown, when the slide 000 is completely pushed onto the slide rotating disk 400, the rotating motor 401 is started, which drives the slide rotating disk 400 to rotate horizontally by 180°, so that the slide is placed with the hand-held part 001 facing the slide flipping box 300 and the detection part 002 facing forward.

[0076] Glass slide cutting

[0077] When the drive assembly is started, the push rod sheet metal 600 continues to move along the linear guide rail 500. After the push plate part 601 abuts against the end of the hand-held part 001 of the glass slide on the glass slide rotating disk 400, it drives the glass slide to move synchronously away from the glass slide flipping box 300 until the glass slide is completely pushed out of the glass slide rotating disk 400 and pushed to the front detection area (shown in the figure).

[0078] At the same time, because the limiting protrusion 703 on the pressure roller sheet metal 700 abuts against the positioning post 803, it restricts its forward movement, which causes the first magnet block 801 and the second magnet block 802 to be separated by force. As a result, the first fixing block 5002 and the second fixing block 5003, and the pressure roller sheet metal 700 lose the power traction of the push rod sheet metal 600 and stop on the surface of the flip box side plate 302, so that the glass slide flip box 300 continues to maintain a horizontal state. This makes it convenient for the push rod sheet metal 600 to push the glass slide out of the glass slide rotating disk 400 and return to its original position.

[0079] After the push rod sheet metal 600 pushes the glass slide out of the glass slide rotating disk 400, the push rod sheet metal 600 moves away from the glass slide rotating disk 400 under the drive of the drive component. When it comes into contact with the pressure roller sheet metal 700, the first magnet block 801 and the second magnet block 802 are magnetically attracted to each other. Then the push rod sheet metal 600 and the pressure roller sheet metal 700 continue to move away from the glass slide rotating disk 400 together until they leave the surface of the glass slide flipping box 300. The glass slide flipping box 300 returns to the vertical position, and this cycle repeats.

[0080] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
