Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical testing technology, and in particular to an automatic slide pushing device. Background Technology

[0002] As a core carrier of biological samples such as blood and cells, glass slides have been widely used in the field of automated medical device testing. Their storage and retrieval efficiency directly affects the operational performance of the testing system. Currently, slides are typically removed manually from the slide box, and samples are manually applied to them. However, this method is unsuitable for preparing large quantities of specimens and can contaminate the slides, affecting the accuracy of subsequent testing.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a slide pusher that can output slides one by one continuously in an orderly manner from the slide box. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic slide pusher that can output slides one by one continuously in an orderly manner from a slide box.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: An automatic slide pushing device is characterized in that it includes a substrate, and a left buffer station compartment, a transfer station compartment, and a right buffer station compartment are sequentially arranged on the upper part of the substrate along the X direction. The slide box has a slide outlet at its lower end along the length of the slide; the bottom surface of the slide box has a hollow part in the middle, which is connected to the slide outlet. When the slide box is placed in the left buffer station compartment or the right buffer station compartment, the slide outlet and the bottom surface of the transfer station compartment are on the same horizontal plane. The bottom surface of the transfer station compartment is located above the substrate, and the transfer station compartment is equipped with a glass slide ejection mechanism with the driving direction along the Y direction; A glass slide transfer mechanism with a driving direction along the X-axis is provided on the substrate and located below the left buffer station compartment, the transfer station compartment, and the right buffer station compartment; The slide transfer mechanism pulls the slides from the slide boxes in the left and right buffer stations from the slide outlet onto the tray seats. Then, the tray seats are moved to the transfer station, and finally, the slide ejection mechanism ejects the slides from the tray seats.

[0006] Furthermore, two partition plates are fixedly and parallel to each other at a distance along the X direction in the middle of the substrate. The length of the two partition plates extends along the Y direction. An opening in the substrate between the two partition plates forms a discharge port. An installation baffle is connected to one end of the discharge port away from the substrate. The installation baffle and the two partition plates together form the transfer station compartment. There is a reserved space between the bottom surface of each partition plate and the upper surface of the substrate. On the substrate, the side closer to the left partition is the left buffer station compartment, and the side closer to the right partition is the right buffer station compartment.

[0007] Furthermore, both the left and right buffer workstations are equipped with a step block at each end along the Y direction, and the step block is equipped with a magnetic suction device for detachable connection with the slide box. When the slide box is placed on the two stepped blocks in the left or right buffer station compartment along its length, the slide outlet of the slide box and the bottom surface of the baffle are on the same horizontal plane, and the hollow part is located between the corresponding two stepped blocks.

[0008] Furthermore, the slide ejection mechanism includes a second lead screw motor with the driving direction along the Y direction. Its fixed end is connected to the mounting baffle, and its driving end passes through the mounting baffle and is located in the transfer station compartment. A slide pusher is connected to its driving end. On the substrate, a discharge platform is provided on the side near the discharge port, and the upper surface of the discharge platform is recessed to form a discharge groove for receiving glass slides.

[0009] Furthermore, the glass slide transfer mechanism includes a first lead screw motor with the driving direction along the X direction. Its fixed end is installed on the left side of the baffle plate on the left buffer station, and its driving end passes through the baffle plate and extends sequentially along the X direction from the left buffer station to the transfer station and the right buffer station. The drive end of the first lead screw motor is connected to a tray seat, and the upper surface of the tray seat is recessed along the Y direction to form a receiving groove for accommodating glass slides. The receiving groove is located below the baffle and the hollow part. The tray seat has a first sliding component on the left buffer station compartment side for moving the glass slides in the left buffer station compartment from the slide outlet to the receiving slot, and a second sliding component on the right buffer station compartment side for moving the glass slides in the right buffer station compartment from the slide outlet to the receiving slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the tray seat has a pair of symmetrical, mirror-symmetrical, V-shaped oblique grooves on each of its two vertical sides along the Y direction, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected in each oblique groove. Both the first and second paddle assemblies include two paddle teeth and a torsion spring; In each inclined groove, a rotatable tooth is rotatably connected. A torsion spring is wound around the rotating shaft, with one end connected to the rotatable tooth and the other end abutting against the lower inclined surface of the inclined groove. Under the action of the torsion spring, one side of the rotatable tooth abuts against the upper inclined surface of the inclined groove, while the bottom surface of the other side of the rotatable tooth leaves a rotation space between itself and the lower inclined surface of the inclined groove. Each tooth is located within the length of the cutout portion so as to abut against the glass slide inside the slide box.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned teeth is arranged parallel to the upper inclined surface of the inclined groove; the top surface of each tooth is provided with a transition surface parallel to the substrate, and the side facing the transfer station compartment is provided with a paddle surface perpendicular to the substrate; when the tooth abuts against the upper inclined surface of the inclined groove, the upper ends of the transition surface and the paddle surface both protrude from the top surface of the tray seat; when the tooth rotates towards the lower inclined surface of the inclined groove, the transition surface and the paddle surface both rotate into the inclined groove. Furthermore, a pallet limiting sheet metal is installed on the pallet seat, and a photoelectric sensor switch is provided on the base plate corresponding to the transfer station compartment. When the pallet limiting sheet metal runs to the photoelectric sensor switch, the receiving groove and the discharge groove are opposite to each other and coaxially arranged.

[0012] Furthermore, a lifting plate is provided at the bottom of the left partition plate facing the left buffer station compartment, and a lifting plate is provided at the bottom of the right partition plate facing the right buffer station compartment. Each lifting plate is set parallel to the substrate. When the slide box is placed in the left or right buffer station compartment, the bottom of the side plate that is vertically connected to the slide box contacts the lifting plate and is lifted up to release the obstruction of the slide outlet by the side plate.

[0013] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are: First, automated output of glass slides was achieved: This invention utilizes a slide transfer mechanism to transfer slides from a slide box to a tray, then moves the slides to a transfer station, where a slide ejection mechanism ejects the slides from the tray through the discharge port, achieving continuous, efficient, and automatic output of single slides. Secondly, the coordinated design of the dual-buffer station compartment, dual-slide assembly, slide ejection mechanism 200, and slide transfer mechanism 300 enables efficient continuous output of slides: This invention features a left buffer station and a right buffer station, capable of holding two slide boxes simultaneously. A slide transfer mechanism moves slides from the left buffer station to a tray, then moves it to a transfer station. A slide ejection mechanism pushes the slides from the tray out of the discharge port. The slide transfer mechanism then continues along the same path to the right buffer station, moving slides there to the tray. It then moves back to the transfer station, where the slide ejection mechanism pushes the slides from the tray out of the discharge port. It continues to the left buffer station, repeating this process repeatedly. This ensures high slide output efficiency, and while one slide box is loaded, the other can still be supplied, resulting in high sustainability of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0016] 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. Example

[0017] like Figures 1-12 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic slide pushing device, which includes a substrate 100, on which a left buffer station 01 and a right buffer station 02 are arranged parallel to each other along the X direction. The left buffer station 01 and the right buffer station 02 are used to place slide boxes. On the substrate 100, a transfer station 03 is provided between the left buffer station 01 and the right buffer station 02. A slide pushing mechanism 200 is provided in the transfer station 03. On the substrate 100, and below the left buffer station 01, the right buffer station 02 and the transfer station 03, a slide transfer mechanism 300 is provided. The slide transfer mechanism 300 is used to push the slides 04 in the slide boxes in the left buffer station 01 and the right buffer station 02 onto the tray seat 302 above them, and then the tray seat is moved to the transfer station 03. Finally, the slide ejection mechanism 200 pushes the slides 04 on the tray seat out in single pieces.

[0018] Specifically, on the middle part of the substrate 100, two partition plates 102 are fixedly and parallel to each other along the X direction. The length of the two partition plates 102 extends along the Y direction. One end of each partition plate 102 along its length is flush with the substrate 100, and the other end extends out of the substrate 100. The opening extending out of the substrate 100 between the two partition plates 102 is a discharge port 204. To facilitate the installation of components, a mounting baffle 103 is connected to the end of the discharge port 204 away from the substrate. The mounting baffle 103 and the two partition plates 102 together form a transfer station 03. The bottom surface of each partition plate 102 has an appropriate height from the upper surface of the substrate 100 in order to reserve space for the installation of the glass slide transfer mechanism 300.

[0019] The slide ejection mechanism 200 is located in the transfer station compartment 03, and includes a second lead screw motor 201 with the driving direction along the Y direction, a second slide rail 202, and a slide pusher 203.

[0020] The second slide rail 202 is disposed on a partition plate 102 on the right side along the Y direction, and a slider is slidably connected to the second slide rail 202; the fixed end of the second lead screw motor 201 is fixed to the mounting baffle 103, and its lead screw drive end extends along the Y direction after passing through the mounting baffle. The lead screw drive end is located on the left side of the second slide rail 202 and the two are parallel. The push plate seat 203 is fixed to the lead screw nut of the lead screw drive end and the slider. The bottom of the push plate seat 203 facing the substrate 100 is a rectangular sheet-shaped push plate part 2031. Furthermore, a discharge platform 205 is provided on the substrate 100 and on one side of the discharge port 204. The upper surface of the discharge platform 205 is recessed to form a discharge groove 2051 for receiving glass slides. Both ends of the discharge groove 2051 along the Y direction are open. The width of the discharge groove 2051 is equivalent to the width of a glass slide. When the second lead screw motor 201 drives the pusher seat 203 to move along the Y direction to above the discharge platform 205, the distance between the pusher part 2031 and the discharge groove 2051 is less than the thickness of a glass slide 04.

[0021] Furthermore, the pusher seat 203 is provided with a discharge limit sheet metal 206, and a photoelectric sensor switch 05 is provided on a baffle plate 102 located at the discharge port 204. When the pusher part 2031 drives the glass sheet on the discharge groove 2051 to move towards the discharge port 204, when the discharge limit sheet metal 206 moves with the pusher seat 203 to the photoelectric sensor switch 05, the glass sheet 04 is pushed out of the discharge port 204, and the pusher seat 203 stops.

[0022] The left side of transfer station 03 is the left buffer station 01, and the right side of transfer station 03 is the right buffer station 02; Furthermore, a lifting piece 207 is fixedly attached to the bottom surface of the left partition plate 102 facing the left cache station 01, and a lifting piece 207 is also fixedly attached to the bottom surface of the right partition plate 102 facing the right cache station 02. Each lifting piece is a rectangular piece parallel to the substrate 100.

[0023] On the substrate 100, and located in the left buffer station compartment 01, there is a step block 101 at each end along the Y direction. The two step blocks 101 together support a slide box 900. Preferably, each step block 101 is provided with a magnetic suction member 1011 for detachable connection with the slide box 900. The components and their connections in the right cache workstation 02 are the same as those in the left cache workstation 01, so they will not be described again here.

[0024] Furthermore, the two step blocks 101 in the left buffer workstation 01 and the right buffer workstation 02 have appropriate heights and there is a clearance space between the two step blocks 101. In order to make full use of the space, the two ends of the side of the left partition plate 102 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two step blocks 101 on the left, and the two ends of the side of the right partition plate 102 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two step blocks 101 on the right.

[0025] The slide box used in Example 1 is as follows Figure 9-12 As shown, it includes a box body 600 with an open side. The box body 600 is surrounded by a first side plate 601, a second side plate 602, a rear baffle 603 and a top plate 604 to form a cavity for accommodating glass slides; the side of the box body 600 opposite to the rear baffle 603 is the open side. A supporting base block 6011 is connected to the bottom surface of the first side plate 601, and a supporting base block 6011 is also connected to the bottom surface of the second side plate 602. The two are arranged opposite to each other in the direction of the central axis of the box body 600, and a hollow part is left between them. A gap is left between the upper surface of the two receiving base blocks 6011 and the bottom surface of the rear baffle 603 to form the first slide outlet 605. The height of the first slide outlet 605 is greater than the thickness of one glass slide but less than the thickness of two glass slides.

[0026] Furthermore, the bottom center of the rear baffle 603 is recessed towards the top plate 604 to form a lifting interface 6031; the opening at the bottom of the lifting interface 6031 is connected to the first output port 605, and its length is less than the length of the first output port 605. The rear baffle 603 has a mounting groove 608 on the side facing the opening of the box body 600. The mounting groove 608 is positioned opposite to the lifting interface 6031, and the bottom of the mounting groove 608 is connected to the first sheet outlet 605. A compression spring hole is provided on the side of the top of the mounting groove 608. A limiting groove 609 is provided on the side of the mounting groove 608 facing the box door panel. The length of the limiting groove 609 is set vertically. The floating baffle 500 is vertically slidably connected to the mounting groove 608, and its length is equivalent to that of the lifting interface 6031. Specifically, a limiting strip 501 protrudes from the side of the floating baffle 500 facing the limiting groove 609. One end of the baffle spring 502 is connected to the top surface of the floating baffle 500, and the other end is connected to the spring hole in the mounting groove. The limiting strip 501 is located in the limiting groove 609, and when the floating baffle 500 is in the first state position due to its own weight, the upper end of the limiting strip 501 abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting groove 609. The floating baffle 500 is located within the range of the first slide outlet 605, which can prevent the slide from falling out of the first slide outlet 605. When the floating baffle 500 is lifted upward by the lifting plate 207 and the baffle compression spring 502 is compressed synchronously, the floating baffle 500 is in the second state position. At this time, the upper end of the limiting strip 501 abuts against the top surface of the limiting groove 609, and the floating baffle 500 is located above the first sheet outlet 605, thus releasing the obstruction to the first sheet outlet. When the force of the lifting plate 207 disappears, the baffle spring 502 and the floating baffle 500 reset.

[0027] The two vertical sides of the box door panel 700 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the corresponding first side panel 601 and second side panel 602 located on the opening side of the box body 600, respectively. It can open or close the opening side of the box body 600. A glass slide 04 is inserted into the box body 600 from the opening side. One end of the glass slide 04 along its length is placed on a receiving base block 6011, and the other end is placed on another receiving base block 6011. When the box door panel 700 slides to the bottom of the first side panel 601 and the second side panel 602, a space is provided between the bottom surface of the box door panel 700 and the upper surfaces of the two receiving base blocks 6011. A second slide outlet 606 is formed at an appropriate gap. The height of the second slide outlet 606 is greater than the thickness of one glass slide 04 but less than the thickness of two glass slides. A door panel baffle 702 is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the box door panel 700. The length of the door panel baffle 702 is less than the length of the second slide outlet 606. When the box door panel 700 slides to the bottom of the first side panel 601 and the second side panel 602, the door panel baffle 702 is located within the range of the second slide outlet 606 and can prevent the glass slide from falling out of the second slide outlet 606. The first slide outlet 605 and the second slide outlet 606 are connected to the hollow part between the two supporting bottom blocks.

[0028] A floating locking assembly is provided between the box body 600 and the box door panel 700. The floating locking assembly is used to limit the vertical movement of the box door panel 600 when the box door panel 700 is closed. After the lifting plate 207 lifts the door panel stop bar 702, the limit of the door panel stop bar 702 on the second paper outlet 606 is released.

[0029] An installation compartment 607 is connected downward to the inner wall of the top plate 604, and the opening of the installation compartment 607 faces the box door panel 700; the floating locking assembly includes a buckle 801 and a buckle spring 800 that are slidably connected in the installation compartment along the direction perpendicular to the height of the box body 600.

[0030] One end of the snap spring 800 is connected to the rear side of the mounting compartment 607, and the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the snap 801. The front end of the snap 801 faces the box door panel 700. When the snap spring 800 is in its natural state, the front end of the snap 801 extends to the outside of the opening of the mounting chamber 607. When the snap spring 800 is in its compressed state, the front end of the snap 801 retracts into the mounting chamber 607.

[0031] The upper end of the box door panel 700 is provided with an unlocking hole 703, and an unlocking component is provided at the unlocking hole 703. The unlocking component includes: a fixing base 900, which is a rectangular box with a hollow cavity. Its bottom surface is open, and a button hole is provided in the middle of the front side away from the box door panel 700. The bottom surface of the fixing base 900 is fixedly connected to the box door panel 700, and the unlocking hole 703 is located within the hollow cavity of the fixing base 900. The button hole and the unlocking hole 703 are opposite to each other. Button 901 is slidably connected to the fixing base 900 along a direction parallel to the sliding direction of the buckle, with one end of it facing away from the unlocking hole 703 and located outside the button hole, while the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the unlocking hole 703. As the box door panel 700 slides vertically downwards, the door panel baffle 702 on the side or bottom of the box door panel 700 can contact the front end of the buckle 801, causing the buckle spring 800 to change from its natural state to its compressed state. When the box door panel 700 slides to the bottom of the first side panel 601 and the second side panel 602, the unlocking hole 703 is positioned opposite the opening of the mounting compartment 607, and the front end of the buckle 801 is located just above the bottom surface of the unlocking hole 703, thus closing the opening side of the box body 600. A floating gap 802 is left between the bottom surface of the front end of the buckle 801 and the bottom surface of the unlocking hole 703, and one end of the button 901 on the bottom surface of the unlocking hole 703 is exactly opposite to the front end of the buckle 801. When the button 901 is pressed inwards, it can drive the buckle 801 to slide away from the unlocking hole 703. At this time, pulling the box door panel 700 upwards can release the closure of the opening side of the box body 600.

[0032] The reason for setting the floating gap 802 is that when the floating locking assembly locks the box door panel 700, and the lifting plate 207 abuts against the bottom surface of the door panel stop strip 702, the door panel stop strip 702 can rise with the box door panel by a floating gap distance, so as to release the door panel stop strip 702 from limiting the second sheet outlet 606.

[0033] Both bottom surfaces of the two supporting blocks 6011 are also connected to magnetic components 1011.

[0034] As a preferred option, the door panel 700 uses transparent acrylic material to make it easy to see the amount of glass slides remaining inside the box and to load glass slides into the box in a timely manner.

[0035] Each of the left buffer station compartment 01 and the right buffer station compartment 02 can hold a slide box. The two receiving base blocks 6011 of each slide box are placed on their corresponding step blocks 101. The magnetic components 1011 on the slide box are magnetically connected to the magnetic components 1011 on the step blocks 101.

[0036] When the slide box is placed in the left buffer station 01 or the right buffer station 02, the lifting plate 207 on the corresponding side will lift the floating baffle 500 or the door panel baffle 702, so that the first slide outlet 605 and the second slide outlet 606 correspond to the bottom surface of the partition plate 102, making it convenient for the slide 04 to be pulled out.

[0037] The slide transfer mechanism 300 includes a first lead screw motor 301 with the driving direction along the X direction, a first slide rail 303, a tray seat 302, a first slide assembly 401, and a second slide assembly 402. To facilitate the installation of components, side plates 104 are installed on the substrate, located on the left side of the left buffer station 01 and the right side of the right buffer station 02.

[0038] The first slide rail 303 is mounted on the substrate 100 along the X direction and is located between the two opposite stepped blocks 101 of the left buffer station 01 and the right buffer station 02. A slider is slidably connected on the first slide rail 303. Preferably, the first slide rail 303 is coaxially arranged with the left buffer station 01 and the right buffer station 02 along the central axis in the X direction; The fixed end of the first lead screw motor 301 is connected to the left side plate 104 of the storage compartment. Its lead screw drive end passes through the storage side plate 104 and extends towards the right side plate 104. Its lead screw drive end is located below the partition plate 102 and directly above the first slide rail 303. One end of the bottom surface of the tray seat 302 is fixedly connected to the lead screw nut of the lead screw drive end. The other end of the bottom surface of the tray seat 302 is also fixedly connected to the slider on the first slide rail 303. The first lead screw motor 301 drives the tray seat 302 to move along the X direction.

[0039] The tray base 302 is a rectangular block, and the middle part of its top surface is sunk along the Y direction to form a receiving groove 3021 for receiving the glass slide 04. The two ends of the receiving groove 3021 along the Y direction are open. The tray seat 302 has a pair of symmetrical, figure-eight-shaped, mirror-symmetrical oblique grooves 304 on each of its two vertical sides along the Y direction. Specifically, the two opposite oblique grooves 304 near the left buffer station 01 are inclined in a direction away from the left buffer station 01, and the two opposite oblique grooves 304 near the right buffer station 02 are inclined in a direction away from the right buffer station 02.

[0040] The first paddle assembly 401 is rotatably installed in the two inclined grooves 304 near the left buffer station compartment 01, and the second paddle assembly 402 is rotatably installed in the two inclined grooves 304 near the right buffer station compartment 02. The first paddle assembly 401 and the second paddle assembly 402 both include two paddle teeth 403 and two torsion springs 404. The first paddle assembly 401 installed in the two inclined grooves 304 and the second paddle assembly 402 installed in the other two inclined grooves 304 are mirror images of each other. To avoid redundancy, the first paddle assembly 401 installed in the two inclined grooves 304 will be used as an example for explanation. The installation and setting of the second paddle assembly 402 are the same as those of the first paddle assembly 401.

[0041] To allow rotation space for the paddle 403, the width of each inclined groove 304 gradually widens from bottom to top. In each inclined groove 304, two rotating shafts 405 are fixedly connected at intervals along its inclined direction. Each paddle 403 is rotatably connected to the two rotating shafts 405 and is set parallel to the upper inclined side of each inclined groove 304. To limit the rotation direction of the paddle 403, a torsion spring 404 is wound around the lower rotating shaft 405, with one end fixedly connected to the paddle 403 and the other end connected to the lower inclined side of each inclined groove 304. Furthermore, each tooth 403 has a transition surface 4031 parallel to the substrate 100 on its top surface, and a tooth 4032 perpendicular to the substrate 100 on its side facing the transfer station 03. When the torsion spring 404 is in the static position, under the action of the torsion spring 404, the side of each tooth 403 in the first paddle assembly 401 facing the upper inclined side of the inclined groove 304 abuts against the upper inclined side, and the upper ends of the transition surface 4031 and the paddle surface 4032 are higher than the upper surface of the tray seat 302. A preset rotation distance is provided from the bottom side of each tooth 403 to the lower inclined side of the inclined groove 304. When the tooth 403 is pushed in the direction of the inclined side of the inclined groove 304, it is blocked by the inclined side of the inclined groove 304 and cannot rotate. When the paddle 403 is pushed in the direction of the lower inclined side of the inclined groove 304, the paddle 403 can rotate from the upper inclined side of the inclined groove 304 to its lower inclined side. At this time, the torsion spring 404 becomes the pressing position, and the transition surface 4031 and the paddle surface 4032 on each paddle 403 rotate into the inclined groove 304. Furthermore, the pry teeth 403 in the first pry assembly 401 and the second pry assembly 402 are respectively located between the outer side of the floating baffle 500 and the inner wall of the receiving base block 6011 in the left buffer station compartment or the right buffer station compartment. Or between the outer side of the door panel retainer 702 and the inner wall of the receiving base block 6011, so as to facilitate the contact of the teeth with the glass sheet and push it out.

[0042] When the pallet seat 302 moves to the transfer station 03 with the first lead screw motor, the upper surface of the pallet seat 302 is located below the bottom surface of the partition plate 102, and there is a clearance between the two. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the discharge groove 2051 and the receiving groove 3021 are opposite and coaxially arranged when the pallet seat 302 runs to the transfer station 03, a pallet limiting sheet metal 305 is connected to a vertical side of the pallet seat 302 away from the discharge port 204. A photoelectric sensor switch 05 is provided on the base plate 100 and located in the transfer station 03. When the pallet limiting sheet metal 305 runs to the photoelectric sensor switch 05, the pallet seat 302 stops, and the discharge groove 2051 and the receiving groove 3021 are opposite and coaxially arranged to facilitate pushing the glass sheet of the receiving groove 3021 into the discharge groove 2051. Furthermore, in order to detect whether there is a glass slide on the pallet seat 302 located in the transfer station 03, a positioning detection sensor 06 is provided on the end of any partition 102 away from the discharge port 204.

[0043] Preferably, for precise control of the stroke, the pallet limiting sheet metal 305 includes two pallet limiting sheet metals spaced apart along the X direction, which respectively correspond to the stroke limit of controlling the pallet seat 302 from the left buffer station 01 to the transfer station 03, and the stroke limit of controlling the pallet seat 302 from the right buffer station 02 to the transfer station 03.

[0044] Furthermore, on the substrate 100, and located in the left buffer station 01 and the right buffer station 02, there is also a photoelectric sensor switch 05. When the tray limiting sheet metal 305 moves to the photoelectric sensor switch 05 in the left buffer station 01, the tray seat 302 moves directly below the slide box. When the tray limiting sheet metal 305 moves to the photoelectric sensor switch 05 in the right buffer station 02, the tray seat 302 moves directly below its slide box.

[0045] The operation process of this utility model is as follows: Feeding: like Figure 4As shown, a slide box is placed in the left buffer station 01 and the right buffer station 02. The two slide boxes are placed in the same direction. The lifting plate 207 on the left lifts the door of the slide box in the left buffer station 01, so that the second slide outlet 606 is connected to the bottom surface of the transfer station 03. The lifting plate 207 on the right lifts the floating baffle of the slide box in the right buffer station 02, so that the first slide outlet 605 is connected to the bottom surface of the transfer station 03. Material allocation: like Figure 5 As shown, the first lead screw motor 301 drives the tray seat 302 to move towards the right buffer station 02. When the second paddle assembly 402 moves to directly below its slide box, and the two paddle teeth 403 in the second paddle assembly 402 move to the hollowed-out area of ​​the two supporting base blocks 6011, the transition surface 4031 of the two paddle teeth 403 is subjected to the squeezing force of the slides in the slide box, and rotates towards the lower inclined surface of the inclined groove 304; as Figure 6 As shown, when the two teeth 403 move to both ends of the second slide outlet 606, the abutting surfaces 4032 of the two teeth 403 abut against the outer sides of the bottommost glass slide on both sides of the second slide outlet 606; as Figure 7 As shown, during the process of the first lead screw motor 301 driving the tray seat 302 to move towards the transfer station 03, the prying surfaces 4032 of the two prying teeth 403 simultaneously push the glass slide towards the first dispensing port 605. When the glass slide leaves the first dispensing port 605, the glass slide falls completely into the receiving groove 3021. The first lead screw motor 301 continues to drive the tray seat 302 to a position relative to the discharge groove 2051. Output: When the arrival detection sensor 06 detects that the tray seat 302 in the transfer station 03 has successfully picked up the glass slide, the second lead screw motor 201 drives the slide pusher 203 to move from the section away from the discharge port 204 toward the receiving groove 3021, and then pushes the glass slide 04 on the receiving groove 3021 into the discharge groove 2051 until the glass slide on the discharge groove 2051 is pushed out of the discharge port 204, thus completing the glass slide pushing action in the right buffer station 02; After the slide pushing action in the right buffer station 02 is completed, the first lead screw motor 301 drives the tray seat 302 and the first pusher assembly 401 to move from the transfer station 03 to the left buffer station 01. The process of the first pusher assembly 401 pushing out the slide in the left buffer station 01 is the same as the process of pushing out the slide in the right buffer station 02, which will not be described again here. This process is repeated in a loop.

[0046] 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.
