[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application with application number 202311601340.5, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on November 25, 2023, entitled “A medical glass slide numbering machine”, the Chinese patent application with application number 202311692723.8, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on December 9, 2023, entitled “A slide collecting device for a medical glass slide numbering machine”, and the Chinese patent application with application number 202311871067.8, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on December 29, 2023, entitled “A slide pushing device for a medical glass slide numbering machine and a medical glass slide numbering machine”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0003] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to a slide collecting module, a slide pushing device and a medical slide marking machine. Background Art
[0004] Chinese patent application publication number CN209578480U, titled "A Glass Slide Laser Marking Machine," discloses a glass slide marking machine capable of automatic loading, marking, and unloading, demonstrating a relatively high level of automation. A driving and driven pulley drive a conveyor belt, which carries the slides. Once the slides reach a marking platform, they are marked. After marking, the conveyor belt continues to transport the slides and collects them. This slide transport method consumes a lot of power.
[0005] Furthermore, when collecting slides, due to a downward-sloping fillet at the base's entrance, newly inserted slides tend to insert from the bottom of the existing slides, pushing up the slides above them and inserting them underneath the existing slides on the base, completing the stack. When a large number of slides are stacked on top of each other, friction between the newly inserted slides and the existing slides increases rapidly, causing increased wear. During the insertion process, the stacked slides are also unstable, prone to tilting forward and falling over as a whole, which requires improvement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0071] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The present disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to accompanying drawings 1 to 36.
[0072] Referring to Figures 1-22 , the first embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a slide collection module for a medical slide marking machine. Furthermore, referring to Figures 1-22 , a slide positioning and unloading module 4 is also disclosed. For example, the slide collection device includes the slide positioning and unloading module 4 and the slide collection module 6 .
[0073] For example, the present disclosure employs a modular docking assembly method. For example, the slide positioning and blanking module 4 and the slide collection module 6 employ a modular docking assembly method. The docking surface of the slide positioning and blanking module 4 is provided with a positioning hole 14, and the corresponding position of the docking surface of the slide collection module 6 is provided with a positioning post 692. The positioning post 692 is inserted into the positioning hole 14 to achieve docking assembly of the slide positioning and blanking module 4 and the slide collection module 6. The positioning post 692 and the positioning hole 14 match in shape, preventing relative rotation between the two and avoiding angular deviation after assembly. For example, the positioning post 692 and the positioning hole 14 are not circular in shape.
[0074] Furthermore, the docking surface of the glass slide positioning and unloading module 4 is also provided with a first electrical connector 15, and the corresponding position of the docking surface of the glass slide collection module 6 is also provided with a second electrical connector 693. When the positioning column 692 is inserted into the positioning hole 14, the glass slide positioning and unloading module 4 and the glass slide collection module 6 are docked and assembled, so that the first electrical connector 15 and the second electrical connector 693 can be smoothly docked, so that the glass slide positioning and unloading module 4 and the glass slide collection module 6 are electrically connected.
[0075] Optionally, the positioning hole 14 is a plug-in positioning hole 14 , and the positioning column 692 is a plug-in positioning protrusion 692 .
[0076] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the inner side wall of the plug-in positioning hole 14 is also provided with an elastic bead 16, and the side surface of the plug-in positioning boss 692 is correspondingly provided with an arc-shaped anti-retraction groove 694. When the plug-in positioning boss 692 is inserted into the plug-in positioning hole 14, the elastic bead 16 is first compressed and then snapped into the anti-retraction groove 694, which can effectively prevent the plug-in positioning boss 692 from withdrawing. When the glass slide collection module 6 needs to be disassembled, a large pulling force is applied to compress the elastic bead 16 back to release the lock. As a functional module, the glass slide collection module 6 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, reducing the difficulty of assembly and being easy to use. In addition, in order to further improve the stability of the connection between the glass slide positioning and blanking module 4 and the glass slide collection module 6, a magnetic adsorption structure (not shown) can be added between the two.
[0077] According to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure, a slide collection module 6 for a medical slide marking machine is provided, comprising a first inclined slide 61, a lifting module 63, a one-way check module 260, and a drive module 270. The lifting module 63, when in a first working position, is configured to receive slides 100 from the first inclined slide 61. The one-way check module 260 is positioned above the lifting module 63. The drive module 270 is coupled to the lifting module 63 and configured to drive the lifting module 63 upward to a second working position above the one-way check module 260, and to drive the lifting module 63 from the second working position to the first working position. The one-way check module 260 is used to allow the glass slide 100 on the lifting module 63 to pass smoothly when the driving module 270 drives the lifting module 63 to move from the first working position to the second working position, and to support the glass slide 100 and prevent the glass slide 100 from moving to the first working position with the lifting module 63 when the driving module 270 drives the lifting module 63 to move from the second working position to the first working position.
[0078] For example, when the lifting module 63 is in the first working position, it receives the glass slide 100 from the first inclined slide 61. The driving module 270 can then drive the lifting module 63, carrying the glass slide 100, upward to the second working position. During this downward movement, the one-way check module 260 does not block the lifting module 63 from ascending, allowing the glass slide 100 to move upward with the lifting module 63. After the glass slide moves above the one-way check module 260, the driving module 270 then controls the lifting module 63 to move downward. At this point, the one-way check module 260 does not block the lifting module 63 from moving downward to the first working position. However, during the downward movement of the lifting module 63, it receives and supports the glass slide 100 previously on the lifting module 63 and prevents the glass slide 100 from falling to the first working position. In this way, the glass slides that are numbered first are taken out first, and the glass slides that are collected last have the numbers of the slides printed first on the top. When the slides are full, they are taken away as a whole, avoiding the large friction between the slides and no longer needing to adjust the placement order of the slides.
[0079] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 6 to 10, the lifting module 63 includes a lifting support 63, the one-way check module 260 includes a first one-way check block 66 and a second one-way check block 67, the driving module 270 includes a second motor 64 and a screw slider transmission assembly 65, and the glass slide collection module 6 also includes a glass slide collection trough 62. The glass slide collection trough 62 is obliquely arranged above the first inclined slide 61. The second motor 64 and the screw slider transmission assembly 65 are arranged on the side of the first inclined slide 61. The lifting support 63 is arranged on the screw slider transmission assembly 65, and is located at the bottom of the first inclined slide 61 and parallel to the sliding surface of the first inclined slide 61 when in the first working position. A first one-way check block 66 and a second one-way check block 67 are hingedly connected to both ends of the slide collecting trough 62. A second motor 64 drives the lifting arm 63 to move up and down within the slide collecting trough 62 between a first working position and a second working position via a screw-slider transmission assembly 65, thereby pushing the slide on the first inclined slide 61 above the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67. The first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67 are pushed to rotate upward, allowing the slide 100 to pass through the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67. The slide 100 then rotates downward under the weight of the slide 100 to prevent it from falling back onto the first inclined slide 61.
[0080] The embodiment of the present disclosure adopts the matching structure of the second motor 64 and the screw slider transmission assembly 65 to drive the lifting and lowering of the lifting support 63, which has the advantages of high repeat positioning accuracy, small error and long service life.
[0081] In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the first inclined slide 61 is 25 degrees to 45 degrees, more preferably 30 degrees to 45 degrees, and should be consistent with or close to that of the second inclined slide 44 .
[0082] In addition, the sliding surface of the first inclined slide 61 is slightly lower than the sliding surface of the second inclined slide 44, and the upper surface of the lifting module 63 (i.e., the lifting handle 63) is slightly lower than the sliding surface of the first inclined slide 61. This can better ensure that the glass slide 100 slides down smoothly under the action of gravity without obstruction.
[0083] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the length of the glass slide 100 is greater than the distance between the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67 in the blocking state, and less than the distance between the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67 in the passing state. In this way, the glass slide 100 can pass through the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67 and cannot be retracted. The length of the lifting handle 63 should be less than the distance between the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67 in the blocking state. In this way, the lifting handle 63 can always be raised and lowered freely without interfering with the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67.
[0084] Since the glass slide 100 is in an inclined state in the glass slide collecting groove 62, a certain unilateral friction force will be generated between the glass slide 100 and the glass slide collecting groove 62. The unilateral friction force not only increases the wear on the side of the glass slide 100, but also may cause the glass slide 100 to flip over during the lifting process of the glass slide 100 (there is no friction on the upper side of the glass slide, and it may tilt upward and flip over). Once flipped, it may hit the glass slide collecting groove 62 or the second one-way check block 67, and the glass slide 100 may be easily broken.
[0085] 8 , in order to solve this technical problem, a plurality of protruding guide bars 621 are provided on the inner side wall at the lower end of the glass slide collecting trough 62. The plurality of guide bars 621 are in line contact with the glass slide 100 to reduce the friction between the glass slide 100 and the inner wall of the glass slide collecting trough 62. In this embodiment, there are specifically two guide bars 621, which can maintain the support balance for the glass slide 100.
[0086] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 6 and 7 , grooves 622 are further provided on the upper and lower sidewalls of the slide collecting trough 62 for accommodating the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67. When the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67 are pushed and rotated upward, they can be completely retracted into the grooves 622 without affecting the upward movement of the slide 100.
[0087] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 6 and 7 , a tension spring 28 is provided between the first one-way check block 66 and the slide collection trough 62 to force the first one-way check block 66 back to its blocking position. A tension spring 28 is also provided between the second one-way check block 67 and the slide collection trough 62 to force the second one-way check block 67 back to its blocking position. This prevents the first and second one-way check blocks 66 and 67 from being unable to return to their original positions due to obstruction by debris such as dust particles or increased hinge friction. By adjusting the tension of the tension spring 28, the return force of the first and second one-way check blocks 66 and 67 can be adjusted. However, the present application is not limited to tension springs; any structure capable of forcing the first and second one-way check blocks 66 and 67 back to their blocking position and any structure capable of forcing the second one-way check block 67 back to their blocking position may be used.
[0088] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the glass slide positioning and unloading module 4 includes a first glass slide sensor 45 , which is used to detect whether the glass slide 100 is on the first positioning block 41 and the second positioning block 42 .
[0089] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG6 , a second slide sensor 69 is further provided at the lower end of the first inclined slide 61 to detect the presence of slides 100. When a slide 100 slides down the first inclined slide 61 and onto the lifting handle 63, the second slide sensor 69 detects the slide 100, and the control system of the medical slide marking machine activates the second motor 64 to begin collecting the slides 100. A full sensor 691 is also provided at the top of the slide collection trough 62 to detect whether the trough 62 is full of slides 100. When the trough 62 is full of sufficient slides 100, the topmost slide 100 triggers the full sensor 691. Upon receiving the corresponding signal, the control system of the medical slide marking machine issues a full-load notification and stops accepting and marking slides 100. Slide marking and collection will resume only after a staff member removes the slide 100.
[0090] The medical slide marking machine according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure includes the slide collecting module 6 according to any embodiment of the first embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0091] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 1 to 22, the medical glass slide marking machine includes a mounting frame 1 and a glass slide positioning and unloading module 4. The glass slide positioning and unloading module 4 includes a first positioning block 41, a second positioning block 42, a first motor 43, and a second inclined slide 44. The first positioning block 41, the first motor 43, and the second inclined slide 44 are all fixedly arranged on the mounting frame 1. The second positioning block 42 is arranged on the motor shaft of the first motor 43. The first motor 43 is used to drive the second positioning block 42 in the vertical plane. When the second positioning block 42 rotates to a horizontal state, it supports the glass slide together with the first positioning block 41 and positions the two ends of the glass slide 100 respectively. When the second positioning block 42 rotates downward, one end of the glass slide 100 tilts downward and gradually falls on the second inclined slide 44. The second inclined slide 44 is arranged below the first positioning block 41 and the second positioning block 42 and docked with the first inclined slide 61 for receiving the glass slide 100 and sliding the glass slide 100 into the first inclined slide 61 of the slide collecting module 6.
[0092] Specifically, the first positioning block 41 and the second positioning block 42 (when in a horizontal state) can position the glass slide 100 to ensure the accuracy of the numbering position. After the numbering is completed, the first motor 43 drives the second positioning block 42 to rotate downward, one end of the glass slide descends, and the other end remains stationary, gradually becoming tilted, and finally falling on the second inclined slide 44. The rotation speed of the first motor 43 is appropriately adjusted to avoid violent collision between the glass slide 100 and the second inclined slide 44 to prevent damage to the glass slide 100.
[0093] According to some specific embodiments of the present disclosure, the implementation principle of the glass slide marking machine including the glass slide positioning and unloading module 4 and the glass slide collecting module 6 is as follows: the first positioning block 41 and the second positioning block 42 (when in a horizontal state) in the glass slide positioning and unloading module 4 can position the glass slide 100 to ensure the accuracy of the marking position. After the marking is completed, the first motor 43 drives the second positioning block 42 to rotate downward, and one end of the glass slide 100 drops and the other end does not move, gradually becoming tilted, and finally falls on the second inclined slide 44. The speed of the first motor 43 is appropriately adjusted to avoid a violent collision between the glass slide 100 and the second inclined slide 44, thereby preventing damage to the glass slide 100; under the action of gravity, the glass slide 100 can slide downward along the second inclined slide 44 and enter the glass slide collecting module. 6, and then slide onto the lifting support hand 63. The second motor 64 and the screw slider transmission assembly 65 can drive the lifting support hand 63 to rise and fall in the glass slide collecting trough 62. When the lifting support hand 63 is raised, it can move the glass slide 100 to above the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67. Since the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67 can rotate, they will not affect the rising of the glass slide 100. However, when the lifting support hand 63 descends, the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67 will block the descent of the glass slide 100 and prevent the glass slide from falling back onto the first inclined slide 61. At the same time, the first one-way check block 66 and the second one-way check block 67 can also support all the glass slides 100 above. By repeating the above steps, the glass slides 100 can be inserted into the glass slide collection trough 62 one by one from the bottom. Since the glass slides 100 are generally very thin and are stored in a stacked manner in the glass slide collection trough 62, a glass slide collection trough 62 of a normal height can store dozens or even hundreds of glass slides 100, providing a large storage capacity and significantly reducing the frequency and labor intensity of workers removing glass slides. Furthermore, the glass slides 100 that are printed first are removed first. The last glass slides 100 collected have the first printed slide number at the top. Once the trough is full, the entire trough is removed without the need to adjust the order of the slides.
[0094] According to some specific embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to ensure that the glass slide 100 can slide down smoothly, the inclination angle of the second inclined slide 44 is preferably 25 degrees to 45 degrees, and more preferably 30 degrees to 45 degrees.
[0095] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sliding surface of the second inclined slide 44 is entirely or partially a wavy surface 441. The contact area between the glass slide 100 and the sliding surface is small, and the sliding friction will also be reduced, which is more conducive to sliding down. The disclosed solution can not only ensure that the glass slide 100 slides down smoothly, but also prevent the sliding speed of the glass slide 100 from being too fast to avoid damage due to impact.
[0096] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second inclined slide 44 is a roller slide. Specifically, the second inclined slide 44 includes a plurality of rollers. As the rollers roll, the glass slides on the second inclined slide 44 are transported to the first inclined slide 61.
[0097] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 1-22 , the slide positioning and unloading module 4 further includes a position sensor 46 for detecting the angular position of the second positioning block 42. The position sensor 46 ensures that the second positioning block 42 can be rotated upward to a horizontal position to smoothly receive the translated slide 100; it also ensures that the second positioning block 42 can be rotated downward to a desired angle, thereby ensuring that one end of the slide 100 can completely disengage from the second positioning block 42 and smoothly fall onto the second inclined slide 44.
[0098] 1 to 22 , the medical slide marking machine further includes a slide pushing device 3 , which is mounted on the mounting frame 1 and configured to push the slide 100 horizontally onto the first and second positioning blocks 41 and 42 , which are positioned horizontally. In this manner, the slide pushing device 3 can push the slide 100 onto the slide positioning and unloading module 4 .
[0099] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the slide pushing device 3 includes a first driving mechanism 31, a horizontal driving block 32, and a slide pushing head 33. The slide pushing head 33 is disposed on the horizontal driving block 32. The horizontal driving block 32 is horizontally slidably disposed on the mounting frame 1 via a first guide rail slider assembly 34. The first driving mechanism 31 is disposed on the mounting frame 1 and is configured to drive the horizontal driving block 32 and the slide pushing head 33 to translate so that the slide pushing head 33 pushes the slide 100 out.
[0100] According to some disclosed embodiments, the medical slide marking machine also includes a slide loading cassette 2. The slide loading cassette 2 is placed on a mounting frame 1 and is used to accommodate multiple stacked slides 100. The slide loading cassette 2 has a slide ejection port 21 and a slide ejection port 22 on either side of its bottom. The slide ejection port 22 can only accommodate one slide 100 at a time. A slide ejector 33 is used to enter through the slide ejection port 21 and eject the slide 100 at the bottom of the slide loading cassette 2 through the slide ejection port 22.
[0101] For example, the medical glass slide marking machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure still adopts the conventional laser printing method for marking, and utilizes the glass slide loading box 2 and the slide pushing device 3 to realize the loading of the glass slide 100. The glass slides 100 are stacked and placed in the glass slide loading box 2 with a large capacity. By limiting the height of the slide outlet 22, it is ensured that only one glass slide 100 can be pushed out at a time, and the situation that the glass slide 100 is missed due to adsorption and adhesion is prevented. The slide pushing head 33 is set on the mounting frame 1 through the first guide rail slider assembly 34, and the movement is smooth and precise; after the glass slide 100 is pushed out, it enters between the first positioning block 41 and the second positioning block 42 (when in a horizontal state) and is positioned by the first positioning block 41 and the second positioning block 42 Peripheral positioning ensures that the position of the glass slide 100 during numbering is consistent and accurate. After the numbering is completed, the first motor 43 drives the second positioning block 42 to rotate downward, and one end of the glass slide 100 drops while the other end remains stationary, gradually becoming tilted and finally landing on the second inclined slide 44. The speed of the first motor 43 is appropriately adjusted to avoid a violent collision between the glass slide 100 and the second inclined slide 44, thereby preventing damage to the glass slide 100. Under the action of gravity, the glass slide 100 can slide downward along the second inclined slide 44 and enter the glass slide collection module 6. The glass slide collection module 6 is used to receive the glass slide 100 that has fallen from the second inclined slide 44 and collect the glass slide 100. The present invention can well realize automated operations such as glass slide loading, positioning, and unloading, is not easy to damage the glass slide 100, has smooth movement, and has high numbering accuracy.
[0102] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the medical slide marking machine further includes a laser marking device 5, which is used to laser mark the positioned slide 100. The laser marking device 5 has advantages such as stable structure and low cost.
[0103] Referring to Figures 1 to 22, the slide loading cassette 2 includes a cassette body 24 and a base plate 25. The cassette body 24 defines a chamber for accommodating a plurality of stacked slides 100. The base plate 25 is secured to the bottom of the cassette body 24 and supports the slides 100 within the cassette body 24. A slide ejection port 21 is provided at the bottom of the front wall of the cassette body 24, and a slide discharge port 22 is provided at the bottom of the rear wall of the cassette body 24. For example, in this embodiment, the slide discharge port 22 is 77.6 mm long and 1.5 mm wide, meeting the requirements for most commercially available slides. It will be appreciated that the length of the slide discharge port 22 is not limited to this. Multiple protruding first vertical guide strips 26 are provided on the inner walls of both side walls of the box body 24, and multiple protruding first vertical guide strips 26 are also provided on the inner wall of the rear wall of the box body 24. The tops of the first vertical guide strips 26 are upwardly converging guide slopes 261. The guide slopes 261 provide a guiding function, allowing the glass slide 100 to enter the receiving cavity smoothly. The multiple first vertical guide strips 26 are generally dispersed or evenly arranged to ensure that the edges of the glass slide 100 are completely separated from the inner walls of the box body 24. In this embodiment, six first vertical guide strips 26 are provided, which can ensure smoother loading of the glass slide 100.
[0104] When the glass slide 100 is loaded into the glass slide loading box 2, the top end of the first vertical guide bar 26 is a guiding slope 261 that converges upward, which can guide the glass slide 100 into the accommodating cavity of the box body 24. Only the first vertical guide bar 26 will contact the edge of the glass slide 100. The contact area is very small, and the friction generated is also very small. The glass slide 100 is not easy to tilt or get stuck, and the loading is smoother. When the glass slide 100 is pushed out, the edge of the glass slide 100 only contacts the first vertical guide bar 26 on the two side walls of the box body 24. The contact area is small, and the friction generated is also small. It is not easy to be pushed tilted, which greatly reduces the chance of fragmentation. The gap reserved between the glass slide 100 and the first vertical guide bar 26 can be designed to be smaller, thereby improving the position accuracy of the glass slide 100 after it is pushed out.
[0105] 1-22 , the mounting frame 1 is provided with a positioning slot 11, into which the lower end of the slide loading cassette 2 is inserted. Positioning posts 23 are also provided on the outer walls of both sides of the slide loading cassette 2. A corresponding engaging slot 12 is provided on the upper end surface of the mounting frame 1, into which the positioning posts 23 engage from above. A contact switch 13 is provided at the bottom of the positioning slot 11 on the mounting frame 1 for detecting whether the slide loading cassette 2 is placed on the mounting frame 1. The positioning slot 11 only serves to roughly pre-position the slide loading cassette 2. When the positioning posts 23 on both sides of the cassette body 24 engage in the engaging slot 12, precise positioning is achieved, ensuring a more correct placement angle for the slide loading cassette 2 and reducing runout. This reduces friction between the slide 100 and the first vertical guide bar 26 when the slide 100 is pushed out. The contact switch 13 can be triggered by the weight of the slide loading box 2 itself. When the slide loading box 2 is taken away, the contact switch 13 returns to its initial state, thereby sensing whether the slide loading box 2 exists. When the slide loading box 2 is sensed, the medical slide numbering machine will start the numbering work, which can improve the intelligence of the equipment.
[0106] Referring to Figures 1-22, the slide pusher 33 is hinged to the horizontal drive block 32 via a rotating shaft 35. The top surface of the slide pusher 33 forms a driving bevel 331, which is higher at the front end and lower at the rear end. A first tension spring 36 is provided between the rear end of the slide pusher 33 and the horizontal drive block 32. The first tension spring 36 pulls the slide pusher 33 diagonally backward. When the slide pusher 33 retracts, it rotates downward due to the gravity of the slide 100. When it returns to the waiting position, the first tension spring 36 pulls the slide pusher 33 diagonally backward. In this way, the slide pusher 33 can advance horizontally to push the bottommost slide in the slide loading cassette 2. When the slide pusher 33 retracts, the slides 100 in the slide loading cassette 2 press the slide pusher 33 downward via the driving bevel 331 due to gravity, thereby reducing the friction between the slide pusher 33 and the slide 100.
[0107] The present disclosure designs the slide pushing head 33 to float up and down. When the slide pushing head 33 moves forward horizontally, it can push out the bottom slide 100 in the slide loading box 2 horizontally. When the slide pushing head 33 retracts, the slide 100 in the slide loading box 2 presses the slide pushing head 33 down through the driving inclined surface 331 by gravity, and the slide pushing head 33 can be smoothly withdrawn from the slide loading box 2 without having to lift up all the upper slides 100. At this time, the friction between the slide pushing head 33 and the slide 100 is smaller, the wear on the slide 100 is smaller, and it is less likely to scratch the surface of the slide 100.
[0108] 1 to 22 , the first drive mechanism 31 adopts a transmission method of a motor, a synchronous wheel and a synchronous belt, and a first position sensor 311 is also provided on the mounting frame 1. The technology is mature, the cost is low, the movement speed is appropriate, and the noise is low. In conjunction with the first position sensor 311, the front and rear extreme positions of the movement of the horizontal drive block 32 and the slide pusher 33 can be well controlled, and the glass slide 100 can be pushed into place.
[0109] 17 to 22 , the medical slide marking machine further includes a purification system 7 , which includes a dust collecting hood 71 , a confluence hood 72 , an intermediate air duct 73 , a primary filter element 74 , a secondary filter element 75 , a tertiary filter element 77 and a first fan 76 . The dust collecting hood 71 is used to prevent odor and dust from spreading inside the machine. The primary filter element 74 is disposed on the inner wall of the dust collecting hood 71 , and the first fan 76 is disposed on the outer wall of the dust collecting hood 71 . One end of the intermediate air duct 73 is connected to the first fan 76 . The other end of the intermediate air duct 73 is connected to the confluence cover 72, and the secondary filter element 75 is arranged in the intermediate air duct 73. The first fan 76 is used to exhaust air from the dust collecting cover 71 and send the exhausted air into the intermediate air duct 73 and the confluence cover 72. The confluence cover 72 is used to merge the heat dissipation airflow of the laser marker 5 and the airflow generated by the first fan 76. The confluence cover 72 is provided with an air outlet 721. Referring to Figures 17-22, the tertiary filter element 77 is arranged on the inner side of the air outlet 721 of the confluence cover 72.
[0110] In this embodiment, the primary filter element 74 serves as a dust filter, the secondary filter element 75 serves as an odor filter, and the tertiary filter element 77 serves as an odor filter. When the medical slide marking machine is operating, dust and odors are generated and rise into the dust hood 71. The first blower 76 is activated, drawing away all dust and odors from the dust hood 71. The primary filter element 74 filters out the vast majority of the dust, but also a small portion of the odor (typically 10-20%). A very small amount of dust and a considerable amount of odor enter the intermediate air duct 73. The secondary filter element 75 further filters out the remaining dust and most of the odor, leaving only a small amount of odor that can pass through these two filter elements. Adding only the tertiary filter element 77 would not effectively and thoroughly remove odors, as the more adhesive odor molecules have already been adsorbed and filtered out by the secondary filter element 75, leaving the odor molecules with poor adhesion. The present disclosure also provides a confluence cover 72, allowing the airflow that has undergone double filtration to enter the confluence cover 72, and at the same time, the heat dissipation airflow of the laser marking device 5 also enters the confluence cover 72. The laser marking device 5 generates a large amount of heat, and the temperature of the heat dissipation airflow is relatively high. After the two airflows merge, they can heat the airflow after the double filtration. The temperature of the odor molecules in the airflow increases, the activity increases, and the adhesion becomes higher. When passing through the third-stage filter element 77, it is easier to adsorb on the third-stage filter element 77, and the odor molecules are further filtered with high efficiency. The airflow coming out of the air outlet 721 of the confluence cover 72 will be cleaner.
[0111] The laser marking device 5 is originally provided with a dedicated fan to dissipate heat and draw out the hot air. In this embodiment, this hot air flow is then introduced into the confluence cover 72.
[0112] Referring to Figures 17-22, the air from the intermediate air duct 73 enters the confluence cover 72 from top to bottom. After being filtered by the confluence cover 72, the air exits the air outlet of the confluence cover 72 and merges with the air discharged from the laser marking device 5 from bottom to top. The merged air is then discharged from the top of the purification system 7. By utilizing the principle that hot air rises and cold air falls, the mixing effect of the two airflows is enhanced, thereby improving heating efficiency. The first fan 76 is a turbine fan with a small size, large air volume, and strong suction force.
[0113] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the glass slide is made of glass and is fragile. When the glass slide is placed in the glass slide loading box or when the slide is pushed by the slide pusher, there is still a chance that the glass slide will break. Once the glass slide breaks, it may affect the stable operation of the entire device, and it is necessary to stop the machine in time to clean up the fragments. Referring to Figures 21 and 22, the medical glass slide marking machine of this embodiment is different from the above-mentioned embodiments in that a cleaning brush 37 is further provided at the front end of the horizontal drive block 32. The cleaning brush 37 moves horizontally with the horizontal drive block 32, and a debris collection platform 17 is provided on the mounting frame 1. A debris guide groove 18 is provided at the front end of the debris collection platform 17, and a debris storage box 19 is provided below the debris collection platform 17. When debris is generated, the debris will fall onto the debris collection platform 17, and the push head 33 on the horizontal drive block 32 will have no glass slide to push. The cleaning brush 37 on the horizontal drive block 32 will push the debris on the debris collection platform 17 forward, and then enter the debris guide groove 18. The debris falls into the debris storage box 19 along the debris guide groove 18, thereby realizing the debris processing and collection function, without the need for shutdown processing, and does not affect the stable operation of the entire equipment.
[0114] 21 , the position of the first position sensor 311 is also different. In this embodiment, the first position sensor 311 is located above the debris collection platform 17 and can detect the position of the horizontal drive block 32. Other structures and beneficial effects are consistent with those of the first embodiment and will not be repeated here.
[0115] According to the third embodiment of the present disclosure, with reference to Figures 23 to 36, a slide pushing device 3 of a medical slide numbering machine is provided, and the slide pushing device 3 includes a slide loading box 2, a slide pushing head 33, a horizontal drive mechanism 140, and a lifting drive mechanism 150. A accommodating cavity is provided in the slide loading box 2 for accommodating a plurality of stacked slides 100. The lifting drive mechanism 150 is arranged on the horizontal drive mechanism 140, and the slide pushing head 33 is arranged on the lifting drive mechanism 150. The horizontal drive mechanism 140 is used to drive the lifting drive mechanism 150 and the slide pushing head 33 to move horizontally, and the lifting drive mechanism 150 is used to raise or lower the slide pushing head 33. When the slide pushing head 33 is lifted by the lifting drive mechanism 150, the slide pushing head 33 pushes out the slide 100 at the bottom end of the slide loading box 2. When the slide pushing head 33 retracts, the lifting drive mechanism 150 drops the slide pushing head 33.
[0116] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the slide pushing device 3 further includes a mounting frame 1, on which a slide loading cassette 2 is placed. The bottom of the slide loading cassette 2 is provided with a slide pushing port 21 and a slide exit 22. The slide exit 22 can only allow one slide 100 to pass through at a time. When the slide pushing head 33 is lifted by the lifting drive mechanism 150, the slide pushing head 33 enters through the slide pushing port 21 and pushes the slide at the bottom of the slide loading cassette 2 out of the slide exit 22.
[0117] The slide ejection port 21 is provided at the bottom of the front wall of the slide loading box 2, and the slide discharge port 22 is provided at the bottom of the rear wall of the slide loading box 2. The height of the slide discharge port 22 only allows the slide 100 at the bottom to enter and exit, and the slides 100 above cannot be pushed out, thereby ensuring that only one slide 100 is loaded each time, and the situation of overlapping slides and missing numbers will not occur.
[0118] By setting a lifting drive mechanism 150, the lifting drive mechanism 150 can be in various forms such as a lifting cylinder, an electromagnet, a linear motor, etc. When the horizontal drive mechanism 140 drives the lifting drive mechanism 150 and the film pushing head 33 to move forward, the lifting drive mechanism 150 lifts the film pushing head 33 to achieve normal film pushing action. After the film pushing is completed, the lifting drive mechanism 150 drops the film pushing head 33, so that the film pushing head 33 will not contact and collide with the glass slide 100 in the glass slide loading box 2, and the film pushing head 33 will not wear and scratch the bottom surface of the glass slide 100.
[0119] 23-36 , the mounting frame 1 is provided with a positioning groove 11, into which the lower end of the slide loading cassette 2 is inserted. Positioning posts 23 are also provided on the outer walls of both sides of the slide loading cassette 2. The upper end surface of the mounting frame 1 is provided with corresponding engaging grooves 12, into which the positioning posts 23 engage from above. The positioning grooves 11 merely serve to roughly pre-position the slide loading cassette 2. The positioning posts 23 on both sides of the cassette engage in the engaging grooves 12, achieving precise positioning, which allows the slide loading cassette 2 to be placed at a more correct angle and minimizes runout. This reduces friction between the slide 100 and the side walls of the slide loading cassette 2 when it is pushed out.
[0120] 23-36 , a contact switch 13 is provided at the bottom of the upper positioning slot 11 of the mounting frame 1 to detect whether the slide loading cassette 2 is placed on the mounting frame 1. The weight of the slide loading cassette 2 triggers the contact switch 13. When the slide loading cassette 2 is removed, the contact switch 13 returns to its initial state, thereby sensing the presence of the slide loading cassette 2 and enhancing the device's intelligence.
[0121] 27, the horizontal drive mechanism 140 is a motor screw drive slide 141, and the lifting drive mechanism 150 is arranged on the slide 141 in the motor screw drive slide 141. The motor screw drive slide 141 is a mature technology with the advantages of low cost, suitable movement speed and low noise.
[0122] 31 , a plurality of protruding vertical guide strips 26 are provided on the inner walls of both side walls of the slide loading box 2 , and a plurality of protruding vertical guide strips 26 are also provided on the inner wall of the rear wall of the slide loading box 2 , and the top ends of the vertical guide strips 26 are upwardly converging slopes. The vertical guide bar 26 has three main functions. First, when loading the glass slide 100, the top of the vertical guide bar 26 is an upwardly converging slope, which can guide the glass slide 100 into the accommodating cavity of the glass slide loading box 2. Only the vertical guide bar 26 will contact the edge of the glass slide 100. The contact area is very small, and the friction generated is also very small. The glass slide 100 is not easy to tilt or get stuck, and loading is smoother. Second, when the glass slide 100 is pushed out, the edge of the glass slide 100 only contacts the vertical guide bars 26 on the two side walls of the glass slide loading box 2. The contact area is small, and the friction generated is also small. It is not easy to be pushed tilted, which greatly reduces the chance of fragments. Third, the gap reserved between the glass slide 100 and the vertical guide bar 26 can be designed to be smaller, thereby improving the position accuracy of the glass slide 100 after being pushed out.
[0123] According to an embodiment of a fourth aspect of the present disclosure, a slide marking machine is provided, comprising a slide pushing device 13 according to an embodiment of the third aspect of the present disclosure.
[0124] According to some embodiments of the present application, the slide marking machine further includes a slide positioning and unloading module 4 and a slide collecting module 6. The mounting frame 1 is further provided with a chute 123 for receiving and supporting the slide 100 exiting the slide outlet 22. The bottom surface of the chute 123 is slightly lower than the bottom surface of the slide outlet 22. The slide pushing device 3 is further used to push the slide 100 from the chute 123 into the slide positioning and unloading module 4. The slide pushing device 13 is used to push the slide 100 from the chute 123 into the slide positioning and unloading module 4. The glass slide positioning and unloading module 4 includes a first positioning block 41, a second positioning block 42, a first motor 43 and a second inclined slide 44. The first positioning block 41, the first motor 43 and the second inclined slide 44 are all fixedly arranged on the mounting frame 1. The second positioning block 42 is arranged on the motor shaft of the first motor 43. The first motor 43 is used to drive the second positioning block 42 to rotate in a vertical plane. When the second positioning block 42 rotates to a horizontal state, it supports the glass slide 100 together with the first positioning block 41 and positions the two ends of the glass slide 100 respectively. When the second positioning block 42 rotates downward, one end of the glass slide tilts downward and gradually falls on the second inclined slide 44. The second inclined slide 41 is arranged below the first positioning block 41 and the second positioning block 42 for receiving the glass slide 100 and making the glass slide 100 slide into the glass slide collecting module 6.
[0125] Specifically, the slide pusher 3 pushes the slide 100 out of the slide loading box 2, first into the slide chute 123, and then into the laser marking area of the slide positioning and unloading module 4. The first positioning block 41 and the second positioning block 42 (when in a horizontal state) can position the slide 100 to ensure the accuracy of the marking position. After the marking is completed, the first motor 43 drives the second positioning block 42 to rotate downward, and the slide 100 descends at one end while the other end remains stationary, gradually becoming tilted, and finally landing on the second inclined slide 44. Appropriately adjusting the speed of the first motor 43 can avoid violent collisions between the slide 100 and the second inclined slide 44, preventing damage to the slide 100.
[0126] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sliding surface of the second inclined slide 44 is entirely or partially a wavy surface 441. The contact area between the glass slide 100 and the sliding surface is small, and the sliding friction will also be reduced, which is more conducive to sliding down. The disclosed solution can not only ensure that the glass slide 100 slides down smoothly, but also prevent the sliding speed of the glass slide 100 from being too fast to avoid damage due to impact.
[0127] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second inclined slide 44 is a roller slide. Specifically, the second inclined slide 44 includes a plurality of rollers. As the rollers roll, the glass slides on the second inclined slide 44 are transported to the first inclined slide 61.
[0128] Referring to Figures 23-36 , the mounting frame 1 is provided with a first position sensor 311 for detecting the position of the slide pusher 33. The first position sensor 311 can detect whether the slide pusher 33 extends and returns normally. The slide positioning and unloading module 4 includes a second position sensor 46 for detecting the angular position of the second positioning block 42. The provision of the second position sensor 46 ensures that the second positioning block 42 rotates upward to a horizontal position to smoothly receive the translated slide 100; it also ensures that the second positioning block 42 rotates downward to the required angle, thereby ensuring that one end of the slide 100 completely disengages from the second positioning block 42 and smoothly drops onto the second inclined slide 44.
[0129] 23-36 , the slide collection module 6 and the mounting frame 1 are assembled using a modular docking arrangement. The mounting frame 1 has a docking surface with a positioning hole 14, and correspondingly, a positioning boss 692 is provided on the docking surface of the slide collection module 6. The positioning boss 692 and the positioning hole 14 are shaped to match, but neither is circular. The positioning boss 692 is inserted into the positioning hole 14 to achieve docking assembly between the slide collection module 6 and the mounting frame 1. As a functional module, the slide collection module 6 can be quickly assembled and disassembled, reducing assembly difficulty and facilitating ease of use. By replacing different slide collection modules 6, slides 100 of varying sizes can be collected.
[0130] Because the plug-in positioning boss 692 and the plug-in positioning hole 14 match in shape but are neither circular, they prevent relative rotation between them, thus avoiding angular deviation after assembly. Furthermore, the inner sidewall of the plug-in positioning hole 14 is provided with an elastic bead 16, and the side surface of the plug-in positioning boss 692 is provided with a corresponding arc-shaped retaining groove 694. When the plug-in positioning boss 692 is inserted into the plug-in positioning hole 14, the elastic bead 16 is first compressed and then snaps into the retaining groove 694, effectively preventing the plug-in positioning boss 692 from withdrawing. To disassemble the slide collection module 6, a large pulling force is applied to compress the elastic bead 16, thereby releasing the lock.
[0131] 30-36 , the slide collection module 6 includes a collection box 31, a baffle 320, and a support plate 330. The baffle 320 is positioned at the front end of the collection box 31 to prevent sliding slides from exiting the collection box 31. A fixing hole 321 is provided at the base of the baffle 320, into which one end of the support plate 330 is inserted, allowing the support plate 330 to be tilted within the collection box 31 to mitigate the impact of sliding slides 100. When the first motor 43 drives the second positioning block 42 to rotate downward, the numbered slides 100 fall into the second inclined slide 44. Under the action of their own weight, the slides 100 slide downward into the slide collection module 6. Because the support plate 330 is fixed at only one end, it has a certain degree of flexibility, providing a buffering effect. The inclination angle of the support plate 330 is preferably consistent with that of the second inclined slide 44, allowing the front and rear ends of the slide 100 to land simultaneously, dispersing the impact force.
[0132] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the structure of the glass slide collection module 6 is changed. When a large number of glass slides are collected at one time, the collection box 31 needs to be designed to be deeper. However, when the sliding glass slides fall into the collection box 31 that is too deep, the impact force is too great and they are easily broken into pieces, so further improvement is needed.
[0133] Specifically, referring to Figures 32 to 36, the present inventors have improved the support plate 330 in the glass slide collection module 6. The lower end of the support plate 330 is provided with an integrally formed first fixing section 331, a second fixing section 332 and a third fixing section 333. The angle between the first fixing section 331 and the substrate of the support plate 330 is α, the angle between the second fixing section 332 and the substrate of the support plate 330 is β, and the third fixing section 333 is parallel to the substrate of the support plate 330 (or the angle between the two is 180°), wherein α and β are both obtuse angles, and 150°<α<β<180°. In the early stages of collecting slides, the first fixing section 331 is inserted into the fixing hole 321 below the baffle 320, as shown in FIG33 . At this point, the support plate 330 is at its maximum tilt angle, closest to the falling slide, resulting in a smaller drop and a smaller impact force. In the middle stages of collecting slides, the second fixing section 332 is inserted into the fixing hole 321 below the baffle 320, as shown in FIG34 . At this point, the tilt angle of the support plate 330 decreases. Since some slides are already on the support plate 330, the drop remains small, resulting in a smaller impact force. At the end of collecting slides, the third fixing section 333 is inserted into the fixing hole 321 below the baffle 320, as shown in FIG35 and FIG36 . At this point, the tilt angle of the support plate 330 is at its minimum. Since more slides are already on the support plate 330, the drop remains small, resulting in a smaller impact force. Although manual adjustment of the tilt angle of the support plate 330 is required, the structure is simple, adjustment is easy, and the cost of improvement is extremely low. Other structures and beneficial effects are consistent with those of the first embodiment and will not be described in detail here.
[0134] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the following describes a slide collecting device, a slide pushing device, and a medical slide marking machine according to other embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0135] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a glass slide collecting device of a medical glass slide marking machine includes a glass slide positioning and unloading module and a glass slide collecting module; the glass slide positioning and unloading module includes a mounting frame, a first positioning block, a second positioning block, a first motor and a second inclined slide, the first positioning block, the first motor and the second inclined slide are all fixedly arranged on the mounting frame, the second positioning block is arranged on the motor shaft of the first motor, the first motor is used to drive the second positioning block to rotate in a vertical plane, when the second positioning block rotates to a horizontal state, it supports the glass slide together with the first positioning block and positions the two ends of the glass slide respectively, when the second positioning block rotates downward, one end of the glass slide tilts downward and gradually falls on the second inclined slide, the second inclined slide is arranged below the first positioning block and the second positioning block, for receiving the glass slide and making the glass slide slide into the glass slide collecting module; the glass slide collecting module includes a first inclined slide, a glass slide collecting trough, a lifting support, a second motor, a screw rod The first one-way check block and the second one-way check block are respectively hinged on the two ends of the glass slide collecting trough, and the second motor drives the lifting support hand to rise and fall in the glass slide collecting trough through the screw slider transmission assembly to push the glass slide to above the first one-way check block and the second one-way check block. The first one-way check block and the second one-way check block are pushed to rotate upward so that the glass slide passes through the first one-way check block and the second one-way check block, and rotates downward under the action of the gravity of the glass slide to prevent the glass slide from falling back onto the first inclined slide.
[0136] By adopting the above technical solution, the first positioning block and the second positioning block (when in a horizontal state) in the glass slide positioning and unloading module disclosed in the present invention can position the glass slide to ensure the accuracy of the numbering position. After the numbering is completed, the first motor drives the second positioning block to rotate downward, one end of the glass slide descends, and the other end does not move, gradually becoming inclined, and finally falling on the second inclined slide. The speed of the first motor is appropriately adjusted to avoid violent collision between the glass slide and the second inclined slide, thereby preventing damage to the glass slide; under the action of gravity, the glass slide can slide downward along the second inclined slide and enter the first inclined slide in the glass slide collecting module. , and then slide onto the lifting support. The second motor and the screw slider transmission assembly can drive the lifting support to rise and fall in the glass slide collection trough. When the lifting support is raised, it can move the glass slide to the top of the first one-way check block and the second one-way check block. Since the first one-way check block and the second one-way check block can rotate, it will not affect the rise of the glass slide. However, when the lifting support is lowered, the first one-way check block and the second one-way check block will block the descent of the glass slide, preventing the glass slide from falling back onto the first inclined slide. At the same time, the first one-way check block and the second one-way check block can also support all the glass slides above. The above actions are repeated, and the glass slides can be inserted into the glass slide collection trough from the bottom one by one. Since the thickness of the glass slides is generally very thin and they are stored in the glass slide collection trough in a stacked manner, a glass slide collection trough of general height can store dozens or hundreds of glass slides. It has a large capacity and can greatly reduce the frequency and labor intensity of workers taking materials. Moreover, the glass slides that are numbered first are taken out first. Among the glass slides collected at the end, the glass slides with the first printed serial number are on the top. When the slides are full, they are taken away as a whole without the need to adjust the order of placement of the glass slides.
[0137] Preferably, the inclination angle of the second inclined slide and the first inclined slide is 30-45 degrees. By adopting the above technical solution, it can be better ensured that the glass slide can slide down smoothly.
[0138] Preferably, the sliding surface of the second inclined slide is entirely or partially wavy. By adopting the above technical solution, the contact area between the glass slide and the sliding surface is small, the sliding friction force is also reduced, and it is more conducive to sliding.
[0139] Preferably, the sliding surface of the first inclined slide is slightly lower than the sliding surface of the second inclined slide, and the upper surface of the lifting handle is slightly lower than the sliding surface of the first inclined slide. By adopting the above technical solution, it can better ensure that the glass slide slides smoothly under the action of gravity without obstruction.
[0140] Preferably, the slide collecting trough has multiple protruding guide strips on the inner side wall at the lower end. These guide strips are in line contact with the slides to reduce friction between the slides and the inner wall of the trough. This technical solution reduces unilateral friction between the slides and the trough, reduces wear on the sides of the slides, and prevents the slides from flipping over due to unilateral friction during the slide raising process.
[0141] Preferably, grooves are further provided on the side walls at the upper and lower ends of the glass slide collecting trough for accommodating the first and second one-way check blocks. By adopting the above technical solution, when the first and second one-way check blocks are pushed and rotated upward, they can be completely retracted into the grooves without affecting the upward movement of the glass slides.
[0142] Preferably, a tension spring is provided between the first one-way check block and the glass slide collection trough for driving the first one-way check block to return to the blocking state; a tension spring is also provided between the second one-way check block and the glass slide collection trough for driving the second one-way check block to return to the blocking state. By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to avoid the first and second one-way check blocks being unable to return to their original positions due to obstruction by debris such as dust particles, or due to factors such as increased hinge friction. However, the present application is not limited to tension springs, and any structure that can be used to drive the first one-way check block to return to the blocking state, and any structure that can be used to drive the second one-way check block to return to the blocking state, can be used.
[0143] Preferably, the slide collecting device further comprises a position sensor for detecting the angular position of the second positioning block. By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that one end of the slide can completely break away from the second positioning block and smoothly fall onto the second inclined slide.
[0144] Preferably, a glass slide sensor is further provided at the lower end of the first inclined slide for detecting the presence or absence of a glass slide.
[0145] Preferably, a full sensor is provided on the upper portion of the glass slide collecting trough for detecting whether the glass slides in the glass slide collecting trough are full.
[0146] In summary, the slide collecting device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0147] 1. The first and second positioning blocks can position the slide to ensure the accuracy of the numbering position. By adjusting the speed of the first motor, the slide can be prevented from violently colliding with the second inclined slide to prevent damage to the slide.
[0148] 2. Since the thickness of glass slides is generally very thin and they are stored in the glass slide collection tank in a stacked manner, a glass slide collection tank of normal height can store dozens or even hundreds of glass slides. The large storage capacity can greatly reduce the frequency and labor intensity of workers taking out the slides.
[0149] 3. By limiting the inclination angles of the first inclined slide and the second inclined slide, and making the sliding surface of the second inclined slide all or partly a wavy surface, it is ensured that the glass slide can slide down smoothly.
[0150] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a slide pushing device of a medical slide numbering machine includes a slide loading box, a mounting frame, a slide pushing head, and a horizontal driving mechanism. The slide loading box is placed on the mounting frame. A accommodating cavity is provided in the slide loading box for accommodating a plurality of stacked slides. A slide pushing port and a slide outlet are provided at the bottom of the slide loading box, and the slide outlet can only allow one slide to pass through at the same time. The slide pushing device also includes a lifting driving mechanism, which is arranged on the horizontal driving mechanism, and the slide pushing head is arranged on the lifting driving mechanism. The horizontal driving mechanism is used to drive the lifting driving mechanism and the slide pushing head to move horizontally, and the lifting driving mechanism is used to raise or lower the slide pushing head; when the slide pushing head is lifted by the lifting driving mechanism, the slide pushing head enters from the slide pushing port and pushes the slide at the bottom of the slide loading box from the slide outlet. When the slide pushing head retracts, the lifting driving mechanism drops the slide pushing head.
[0151] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention provides a lifting drive mechanism. When the horizontal drive mechanism drives the lifting drive mechanism and the slide pusher forward, the lifting drive mechanism lifts the slide pusher to achieve normal slide pushing. After the slide is pushed, the lifting drive mechanism lowers the slide pusher. In this way, the slide pusher will not contact or collide with the slide in the slide loading box, and the slide pusher will not wear or scratch the bottom surface of the slide. Therefore, the technical problem of the existing traditional Chinese medicine slide numbering machine, which has a small conveying stroke and cannot completely leave the slide loading box during the specific process of being pushed out, otherwise it cannot return, is solved.
[0152] Preferably, the horizontal drive mechanism is a motor screw drive slide, and the lifting drive mechanism is arranged on a slide in the motor screw drive slide. By adopting the above technical solution, the motor screw drive slide technology is mature and has the advantages of low cost, suitable movement speed and low noise.
[0153] Preferably, the mounting frame is provided with a positioning groove into which the lower end of the slide loading box is inserted. Positioning posts are also provided on the outer walls of both sides of the slide loading box. The upper end surface of the mounting frame is provided with corresponding latching grooves into which the positioning posts latch from above. By adopting the above-described technical solution, the positioning grooves only serve to roughly pre-position the slide loading box. The positioning posts on both sides of the box body, when latched into the latching grooves, achieve precise positioning, thereby ensuring a more correct placement angle for the slide loading box and reducing runout. This reduces friction between the slides and the side walls of the slide loading box when they are pushed out.
[0154] Preferably, a contact switch is provided at the bottom of the positioning slot on the mounting frame to detect whether the slide loading cassette is placed on the mounting frame. By adopting the above technical solution, the contact switch is triggered by the weight of the slide loading cassette. When the slide loading cassette is removed, the contact switch returns to its initial state, thereby detecting the presence of the slide loading cassette.
[0155] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a medical glass slide marking machine includes the above-mentioned pushing device, glass slide positioning and unloading module and glass slide collecting module, the mounting frame is also provided with a slide groove for receiving and supporting the glass slide coming out of the film outlet, the bottom surface of the slide groove is slightly lower than the bottom surface of the film outlet, and the pushing device is also used to push the glass slide from the slide groove into the glass slide positioning and unloading module; the glass slide positioning and unloading module includes a first positioning block, a second positioning block, a first motor and an inclined slide, the first positioning block, the first motor and the inclined slide are all fixedly arranged on the mounting frame, the second positioning block is arranged on the motor shaft of the first motor, the first motor is used to drive the second positioning block to rotate in a vertical plane, when the second positioning block rotates to a horizontal state, it supports the glass slide together with the first positioning block and positions the two ends of the glass slide respectively, when the second positioning block rotates downward, one end of the glass slide tilts downward and gradually falls on the inclined slide, the inclined slide is arranged below the first positioning block and the second positioning block, for receiving the glass slide and sliding the glass slide into the glass slide collecting module. By adopting this technical solution, the slide pusher pushes the slide out of the slide loading box, first into the slide chute, and then into the laser marking area of the slide positioning and unloading module. The first and second positioning blocks (when in a horizontal position) can position the slide to ensure the accuracy of the marking position. After marking is completed, the first motor drives the second positioning block to rotate downward, preventing the slide from violently impacting the inclined slide and preventing damage.
[0156] Preferably, the sliding surface of the inclined slide is entirely or partially wavy. By adopting the above technical solution, the contact area between the glass slide and the sliding surface is small, the sliding friction force is also reduced, and it is more conducive to sliding down.
[0157] Preferably, the mounting frame is equipped with a first position sensor for detecting the position of the slide ejector; the slide positioning and unloading module includes a second position sensor for detecting the angular position of the second positioning block. By employing this technical solution, the first position sensor can detect whether the slide ejector extends and retracts normally; the second position sensor ensures that one end of the slide is completely free of the second positioning block and smoothly lands on the inclined slide.
[0158] Preferably, the slide collection module includes a collection box, a baffle, and a support plate. The baffle is positioned at the front end of the collection box to prevent sliding slides from exiting the collection box. A fixing hole is provided at the base of the baffle, into which one end of the support plate is inserted, allowing the support plate to be tilted within the collection box to mitigate the impact of falling slides. By adopting the above technical solution, because only one end of the support plate is fixed, it has a certain degree of flexibility, providing a buffering effect. The tilt angle of the support plate is preferably consistent with the tilt angle of the inclined slide, so that the front and rear ends of the slide land simultaneously, dispersing the impact force.
[0159] Preferably, the slide collection module and the mounting frame are assembled using a modular docking arrangement. The mounting frame's docking surface is provided with a plug-in positioning hole, and the slide collection module's docking surface is provided with a plug-in positioning protrusion at a corresponding position. The plug-in positioning protrusion and the plug-in positioning hole are of matching shape, but neither is circular. The plug-in positioning protrusion is inserted into the plug-in positioning hole to achieve docking assembly of the slide collection module and the mounting frame. By adopting this technical solution, the slide collection module, as a functional module, can be quickly assembled and disassembled, reducing assembly difficulty and facilitating ease of use.
[0160] Preferably, the medical slide marking machine further comprises a laser marking device, which is used to mark the positioned slides with a laser. By adopting the above technical solution, the laser marking device has the advantages of stable structure and low cost.
[0161] In summary, the slide marking machine of this embodiment of the present disclosure has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0162] 1. The present invention is provided with a lifting drive mechanism. When the lifting drive mechanism lifts the slide pusher, normal slide pushing can be achieved. When the lifting drive mechanism drops the slide pusher, the slide pusher will not contact or collide with the slides in the slide loading box, and the slide pusher will not wear or scratch the bottom surface of the slide.
[0163] 2. The first positioning block and the second positioning block (when in a horizontal state) can position the glass slide to ensure the accuracy of the numbering position.
