Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of pathological laboratory equipment, specifically relating to a drying plate that improves loading safety. Background Technology
[0002] In biomedical, pathological, immunohistochemical, and clinical laboratory experiments, glass slides (hereinafter referred to as "slides") serve as important carriers for samples and often require drying after staining, cleaning, fixation, or drying processes.
[0003] Therefore, laboratories commonly use slide drying boards to temporarily place and arrange glass slides in an orderly manner to achieve batch processing and space management. Existing slide drying boards are usually flat structures with several slots or grooves on their surface for inserting glass slides vertically or at an angle.
[0004] However, these traditional slide drying boards have only one function, serving only a basic placement purpose and lacking an effective anti-fall-off design. In actual use, when the drying board is subjected to slight vibration, tilting, or stacking and handling, the slides are very likely to slip out of the groove or tip over, which may not only cause the slides to break, but also cause sample confusion, contamination, or even experimental failure. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model addresses the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a drying plate that improves loading safety.
[0006] This utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A drying rack for improving loading safety, comprising:
[0008] The drying plate body has a glass slide placement surface on its top surface and has at least one row of drying grooves;
[0009] When the drying trays are arranged in multiple rows, baffles are provided between adjacent rows of drying trays to separate them;
[0010] A flexible pad is disposed in the drying tray, the shape of the flexible pad matching the drying tray and the inner walls of both fitting together, wherein...
[0011] The inner wall of each side of the flexible pad is provided with a protruding limiting post. When the glass slide is placed in the drying groove, each limiting post deforms and abuts against the side of the glass slide.
[0012] The baffle has a recessed slide-retrieving slot on the side facing the drying tray. The slide-retrieving slot is located at the end of the drying tray and the two are connected. It is used for the operator to insert their fingers to remove the glass slide that is stuck between the various limiting posts.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting post is arranged in a semi-circular structure, with its flat end integrally connected to the flexible pad and its arc end used to abut against the side of the glass slide.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, in the same row of drying trays, adjacent drying trays are separated by a partition.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the partition plate is provided with an avoidance notch.
[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, the end of the drying groove away from the baffle is the outer edge of the drying plate body, and the outer edge is provided with a clearance groove, which is connected to the drying groove.
[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom surface of the drying tray is provided with several upward protrusions. When the glass slide is placed in the drying tray, the bottom surface of the glass slide abuts against each of the protrusions.
[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model, the height of the bottom surface of the taking slot gradually decreases from the inner end to the outer end, and transitions through an arc surface or a slope.
[0019] As a further improvement of this utility model, the outer end of the taking-up slot extends into the drying slot, and the plane position of the taking-up slot in this area is lower than the plane position of the bottom surface of the drying slot, so that a stepped surface is formed between the taking-up slot and the drying slot.
[0020] As a further improvement of this utility model, a support platform is formed in the outer region of the outer edge of the top surface of the drying plate body, and a distance is left between the support platform and the outer edge of the drying plate body.
[0021] As a further improvement of this utility model, a supporting protrusion is provided at the outer edge of the bottom surface of the drying plate body. When two drying plate bodies are stacked on top of each other, the supporting protrusion of the top drying plate body is supported on the supporting platform of the bottom drying plate body.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. Significantly improves the stability and anti-drop capability of glass slide loading: By setting flexible limiting posts on the side wall of the drying trough, the elastic deformation of the posts is used to achieve "interference fit" clamping of the glass slide, which effectively prevents the glass slide from slipping out and falling off during handling, tilting or vibration, and greatly improves loading safety.
[0024] 2. Optimize the film retrieval operation and improve the convenience of human-computer interaction: The film retrieval slot and avoidance slot are integrated and combined with the inclined / step structure design to provide a good force application space and guide path for fingers or tools, solve the problem of "difficult to remove" after the film is firmly clamped, and achieve labor-saving, accurate and fast film retrieval;
[0025] 3. Enhance ventilation and drying performance, and prevent adhesion and contamination: The gap between the glass slide and the bottom of the tank is formed by the support of the bottom protrusions. Combined with the avoidance gaps on the partition and the interlayer gaps when stacking, air circulation is promoted, liquid evaporation is accelerated, and glass slides are effectively prevented from sticking to the bottom, water stains, or mold.
[0026] 4. Enables safe and stable stacking, facilitating batch management and transportation: The cooperative structure of the support table and the support convex edge allows multiple drying boards to be precisely aligned and stacked, with ventilation gaps between layers, which not only prevents damage to the glass sheets but also improves the overall stability during storage and transportation.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The technical methods of the present invention will be further described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0031] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a drying rack to improve loading safety, comprising:
[0032] The drying plate body 100 has a glass slide placement surface on its top surface and has at least one row of drying grooves 110;
[0033] When there are multiple rows of drying trays 110, baffles 130 are provided between adjacent rows of drying trays 110 for separation;
[0034] A flexible pad 120 is disposed within the drying tray 110. The shape of the flexible pad 120 matches that of the drying tray 110, and the inner walls of the two are in contact.
[0035] Each side of the flexible pad 120 has a protruding limiting post 121 on its inner wall. Since the limiting post 121 is integrally connected with the flexible pad 120, the limiting post 121 is also a flexible part. When the glass slide is placed in the drying groove 110, each limiting post 121 deforms and abuts against the side of the glass slide.
[0036] The baffle 130 has a recessed slide retrieval slot 131 on the side facing the slide drying slot 110. The slide retrieval slot 131 is located at the end of the slide drying slot 110 and the two are connected. It is used for the operator to insert his / her fingers to retrieve the glass slide that is stuck between the various limiting posts 121.
[0037] It should be noted that the existing slide drying plate only has the function of placing glass slides, and there is a risk that the glass slides may fall off during actual use. In this regard, the slide drying plate provided in this embodiment is equipped with a limiting post 121 to improve the stability and firmness of the glass slide after loading. Since the glass slide is clamped by the limiting post 121, the firmness is greatly increased. Therefore, a slide retrieval slot 131 is added to facilitate the subsequent retrieval of the glass slide.
[0038] Specifically, the limiting post 121 is an outwardly protruding structure integrated on the inner wall of each side of the flexible pad 120. It is made of a flexible material with elastic and resilient properties (such as sponge, silicone, TPE and other soft polymer materials). When a standard-sized glass slide is inserted into the drying slot 110, its side squeezes the limiting post 121, causing the limiting post 121 to undergo elastic deformation. Then, under the recovery tendency, it applies a uniform clamping force to the glass slide, thereby achieving "interference fit" fixation. This clamping force is sufficient to resist the tendency to dislodge caused by conventional handling, tilting or even slight vibration, effectively preventing the glass slide from accidentally slipping off.
[0039] The slide retrieval slot 131 is located on the side of the baffle 130 facing the drying slot 110, at the end of the drying slot 110 and connected to it. Its concave structure forms an operating space that allows fingers or fingernails to be inserted. In the traditional structure, it is difficult for fingers to reach the end of the glass slide. This utility model ingeniously integrates the slide retrieval slot 131 into the baffle 130, which not only does not occupy extra space, but also utilizes the original structure to achieve functional extension, greatly improving the convenience of operation when retrieving slides.
[0040] Overall, the innovative design of the flexible pad 120 and baffle 130 solves the technical pain points of traditional sheet drying boards, which are characterized by "easy placement but difficult removal" and "prone to falling off." The flexible limiting post 121 reliably fixes the glass slides, significantly improving loading safety. Meanwhile, the slide retrieval slot 131 integrated into the baffle 130 provides a convenient slide retrieval channel without affecting structural strength, optimizing the human-machine interaction experience. The synergistic effect of these two components allows the sheet drying board to maintain a simple structure while possessing high safety, high stability, and high ease of operation, demonstrating significantly superior practical application value compared to existing technologies.
[0041] In addition, the material of the flexible pad 120 can also provide some cushioning for the slide, preventing the slide from directly contacting the rigid drying tray 110 when taking the slide out, thus preventing scratches or damage to the slide. Furthermore, the flexible pad, such as the sponge material, can absorb liquid dripping from the slide, preventing some corrosive liquids from dripping directly onto the drying tray 110. Based on this, the sponge material can be made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as PVA sponge, pore-free PU sponge, medical silicone sponge, etc.
[0042] Preferably, the limiting post 121 is semi-circular in structure, with its flat end integrally connected to the flexible pad 120 to form a stable connection end face, ensuring that the limiting post 121 is not easily broken or detached during repeated deformation; its arc-shaped end is used to contact the side of the inserted glass slide and undergo elastic deformation, wherein,
[0043] The semi-circular arc structure contacts the side edge or small surface of the glass slide, which can provide sufficient elastic clamping force to stabilize the glass slide, while reducing frictional resistance during insertion and removal and avoiding scratching the edge of the glass slide.
[0044] Preferably, in the same row of drying trays 110, two adjacent drying trays 110 are separated by a partition 140. The partition 140 has an avoidance notch 141, which forms a partial gap structure. On the one hand, it provides lateral clearance space for side operation of tools or fingers. On the other hand, after the slides are stained or cleaned, they often have liquid on them. After being inserted into the drying tray 110, the liquid tends to accumulate at the bottom of the tray. The avoidance notch 141 can promote air circulation, speed up the drying process, and prevent water stains or mold.
[0045] In other words, although the take-up slot 131 has provided an effective end operation entry for take-up, the clearance notch 141 on the partition 140 still plays an irreplaceable role in terms of tool operation clearance, air circulation, and smooth take-up. Therefore, the clearance notch 141 is not a redundant design, but an important structural feature that works in synergy with the take-up slot 131 to improve the user experience in multiple dimensions.
[0046] Preferably, the end of the drying tray 110 away from the baffle 130 is the outer edge of the drying plate body 100. The outer edge 150 is provided with a clearance groove 151, which is connected to the drying tray 110. Similarly, the clearance groove 151 provides additional force space for the operation of picking up and putting down the slide. Especially when using tweezers or fingers to operate from the side other than the slide picking tray 131, the clearance groove 151 can be used to make side clearance or pry, avoiding the outer baffle from obstructing the operation, improving the flexibility of picking up the slide and the freedom of operation. At the same time, the clearance groove 151 helps the air to circulate during the drying process and speeds up the drying speed of the slide.
[0047] Preferably, the bottom surface of the flexible pad 120 is provided with a plurality of upwardly protruding protrusions 122. These protrusions 122 are evenly distributed and have the same height. When the glass slide is inserted and fully positioned, its bottom end contacts the protrusions 122, so that a small gap is formed between most of the bottom surface of the glass slide and the bottom surface of the flexible pad 120, thereby achieving "point contact" support.
[0048] It should be noted that the support of the protrusion 122 significantly reduces the contact area between the glass slide and the bottom surface of the flexible pad 120, making it easier to remove the glass slide. In addition, the gap facilitates air circulation from the bottom of the glass slide, accelerating the evaporation of residual liquid on the surface of the glass slide and improving drying efficiency.
[0049] Preferably, the height of the bottom surface of the taking plate groove 131 gradually decreases from the inner end to the outer end, and transitions through an arc surface or a slope to form a shape similar to a "guide ramp".
[0050] It is worth mentioning that the inclined bottom structure provides a progressive guide for fingers or nails to enter the slide slot 131, allowing the operator to slide in more naturally and smoothly and reach the end of the slide, improving the comfort and accessibility of slide retrieval; at the same time, when using tools to gently pry the slide clamped by the limiting post 121, the inclined or curved surface can act as a fulcrum to guide the upward prying force, achieving effortless slide retrieval.
[0051] Furthermore, the outer end of the taking-up slot 131 extends into the drying slot 110, and the plane position of the taking-up slot 131 in this area is lower than the plane position of the bottom surface of the drying slot 110, so that a stepped surface is formed between the taking-up slot 131 and the drying slot 110. The design of this stepped surface has a specific function, which is explained below:
[0052] Once the slide is inserted, its bottom edge will hang above the stepped surface, forming a "suspended edge area". The operator can easily reach the bottom of the slide from the side of the slide groove 131 with a fingernail or the tip of a tool, and apply upward force to lift or pry the slide, which significantly reduces the resistance to slide removal. This is especially suitable for situations where the clamping force of the limiting post 121 is strong and the slide is firmly fixed and difficult to pull out. At the same time, the stepped surface structure enhances the guiding and supporting role of the slide groove 131, making the prying action more stable and precise, and avoiding slippage and damage to the sample.
[0053] Preferably, a support platform 160 is formed on the outer side of the outer edge of the top surface of the drying plate body 100. The support platform 160 is located on the edge area of the upper surface of the drying plate body 100 and maintains a certain distance from the outer edge, forming a stepped structure. Correspondingly, an annular or partial support protrusion 170 is provided at the outer edge of the bottom surface of the drying plate body 100, and its height matches the inward depth of the support platform 160.
[0054] When multiple drying racks need to be stacked, the supporting protrusion 170 on the bottom surface of the upper drying rack can stably rest on the supporting platform 160 on the top surface of the lower drying rack, achieving precise alignment and reliable support.
[0055] This structure creates a uniform ventilation gap between the upper and lower plates, which facilitates air circulation, accelerates the drying process of the glass slides, and prevents the glass slides on the lower plate from being directly pressed down or contaminated by the upper plate. In addition, the cooperation between the supporting protrusion 170 and the supporting platform 160 enhances the overall stability of the stack, prevents slippage or tipping, and improves transportation and storage safety.
