Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transportation technology, specifically to a slide device for conveying embedding boxes. Background Technology

[0002] An embedding cassette is a laboratory consumable primarily used for fixing, dehydrating, and embedding biological tissue samples for subsequent section preparation and histological studies. It is typically made of chemically resistant plastic, features a perforated or mesh structure to ensure adequate reagent contact with the sample, and is designed with a labeling area for easy information recording.

[0003] To facilitate rapid transport of embedding cassettes within the laboratory, tracks are typically installed between different workstations, allowing gravity to propel the cassettes to the next station. However, because the embedding cassettes are made of chemically resistant plastic, they experience significant frictional resistance, making it easy for them to stop midway through the track and fail to reach their destination smoothly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a slide device for transporting embedding boxes, thereby solving the technical problem that the embedding boxes have high frictional resistance and cannot smoothly slide to their destination in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a slide device for conveying embedding boxes, including a slide and a friction-reducing and accelerating bar. The slide has an inlet, an outlet, and a conveying surface connecting the inlet and the outlet; The friction-reducing and acceleration strip is disposed on the conveying surface along the length direction of the slide rail and the friction-reducing and acceleration strip protrudes from the conveying surface.

[0007] In some embodiments, the conveying section is arc-shaped, the discharge section is straight, one end of the discharge section is connected to the end of the conveying section away from the inlet, and the discharge section is tangent to the conveying section.

[0008] In some embodiments, the chute further includes a discharge baffle, which is disposed at one end of the discharge section away from the conveying section to stop the embedding box; the discharge baffle and the conveying section form the outlet.

[0009] In some embodiments, the conveying surface of the conveying section is higher than the conveying surface of the discharge section to form a blocking edge that prevents the embedding box from rebounding.

[0010] In some embodiments, the slide forms a ramped edge at the outlet, the ramped edge being inclined upward in a direction toward the outside of the outlet to prevent the embedding box from sliding out of the outlet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the inlet and the outlet are oriented parallel to each other, and the inlet is perpendicular to the orientation of the end of the conveying section away from the inlet.

[0012] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the friction-reducing and accelerating strip is semi-circular, with its plane conforming to the conveying surface and its arc surface protruding from the conveying surface.

[0014] In some embodiments, the slide includes a base plate and side baffles, the upper surface of the base plate is the conveying surface, and the side baffles are fixedly disposed on both sides of the base plate, forming the inlet and the outlet.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the slide device for conveying embedding boxes provided by this utility model, by setting friction-reducing and accelerating strips on the slide, with the friction-reducing and accelerating strips protruding from the conveying surface, lifts the embedding box to reduce the contact area between the embedding box and the conveying surface, and the friction coefficient of the friction-reducing and accelerating strips is less than the friction coefficient of the conveying surface, further reducing the frictional resistance when the embedding box slides, so that the embedding box can smoothly slide to the end of the slide. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the slide device for transporting embedding boxes provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0018] To address the technical problem of high frictional resistance in embedding cassettes preventing them from smoothly sliding to their destination, this invention provides a slide rail device for conveying embedding cassettes. This device reduces the frictional resistance between the embedding cassette and the slide rail, allowing the embedding cassette to slide smoothly down the slide rail.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the slide device for transporting embedding cassettes provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The slide device for transporting embedding cassettes includes a slide 1 and a friction-reducing and accelerating strip 2.

[0020] The slide 1 has an inlet 101, an outlet 102, and a conveying surface 103 connecting the inlet 101 and the outlet 102. The inlet 101 connects to the embedding box discharge device 5, which can deliver the embedding boxes 6 one by one to the conveying surface 103 through the inlet 101. Under the action of gravity, the embedding boxes 6 slide along the conveying surface 103 toward the outlet 102.

[0021] The friction-reducing and acceleration strip 2 is disposed on the conveying surface 103 along the length direction of the slide 1, and the friction-reducing and acceleration strip 2 protrudes from the conveying surface 103.

[0022] The friction-reducing and acceleration strip 2 protrudes from the conveying surface 103, which can lift the embedding box 6 to reduce the contact area between the embedding box 6 and the conveying surface 103. With its small coefficient of friction, it further reduces the frictional resistance when the embedding box 6 slides, so that the embedding box 6 can smoothly slide to the end of the slide.

[0023] In some embodiments, the slide 1 includes a base plate 11 and side baffles 12. The upper surface of the base plate 11 is a conveying surface 101, and side baffles 12 are fixedly provided on both sides of the base plate 11, forming an inlet 101 and an outlet 102.

[0024] In some embodiments, the chute 1 includes a conveying section 13 and a discharging section 14 that are interconnected. The conveying section 13 has an inlet 101, and the discharging section 14 has an outlet 102. The friction-reducing and accelerating strip 2 is only provided on the conveying surface 103 of the conveying section 13. The discharging section 14 does not have the friction-reducing and accelerating strip 2. The embedding box 6 is decelerated by the greater frictional resistance in the discharging section so that the embedding box 6 stops at the outlet 102.

[0025] In some embodiments, the conveying section 13 is arc-shaped, the discharge section 14 is straight, one end of the discharge section 14 is connected to the end of the conveying section 13 away from the inlet 101, and the discharge section 14 is tangent to the conveying section 13.

[0026] In some embodiments, the chute 1 further includes a discharge baffle 15, which is disposed at the end of the discharge section 14 away from the conveying section 13 to block and stop the embedding box 6. An outlet 102 is formed between the discharge baffle 15 and the side baffle 12 on the conveying section 13.

[0027] In some embodiments, the conveying surface 103 of the conveying section 13 is higher than the conveying surface 103 of the discharge section 14 to form a blocking edge 104 that prevents the embedding box 6 from rebounding. When the embedding box 6 slides along the slide 1 to the end, it hits the discharge baffle 15 and rebounds. The rebound is then blocked by the blocking edge 104, causing the embedding box 6 to finally stop on the discharge section 14.

[0028] In some embodiments, the chute 1 forms a ramped baffle 16 at the outlet 102. The ramped baffle 16 slopes upward in a direction toward the outside of the outlet 102 to prevent the embedding box 6 from sliding out of the outlet 102. The ramped baffle 16 provides some obstruction to prevent the embedding box 6 from accidentally sliding out of the outlet 102, but does not significantly affect the discharge.

[0029] In some embodiments, the inlet 101 and outlet 102 are parallel, and the inlet 101 is perpendicular to the orientation of the end of the conveying section 13 away from the inlet 101. That is, the embedding box 6 rotates 90 degrees through the slide 1. The embedding box 6 enters the slide 1 with its short side facing the inlet 101, and then leaves the slide 1 with its long side facing the outlet 102.

[0030] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the friction-reducing and accelerating strip 2 is semi-circular, the plane of which is in contact with the conveying surface 103, and its arc surface protrudes from the conveying surface 103 to support the embedding box 6. One or more friction-reducing and accelerating strips 2 can be provided on the conveying surface 103 according to the actual sliding of the embedding box 6. These friction-reducing and accelerating strips 2 are all parallel to each other along the extension direction of the conveying section 13.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the friction coefficient of the friction-reducing and accelerating strip 2 is less than that of the conveying surface 103, meaning that the friction-reducing and accelerating strip 2 is smoother, further improving the friction-reducing effect.

[0032] In some embodiments, the slide device further includes a detection sensor 3, which is disposed in the discharge section 14 to detect whether there is an embedding cassette 6 in the discharge section 14. The detection sensor 3 can be linked with the embedding cassette dispensing device 5. When the embedding cassette 6 slides to the discharge section 14, the detection sensor 3 detects the embedding cassette 6 and transmits a signal to the embedding cassette dispensing device 5. The embedding cassette dispensing device 5 then stops dispensing the embedding cassette 6 to prevent it from accumulating on the slide 1. When the embedding cassette 6 on the discharge section 14 is removed, the detection sensor 3 detects this and transmits a signal to the embedding cassette dispensing device 5, which then feeds another embedding cassette 6 onto the slide 1.

[0033] The detection sensor 3 can be a common photoelectric sensor.

Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
