Microscope Observation Carrier With Rotating Lock Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current microscope observation stages are not user-friendly due to the complexity of assembly and disassembly requiring screw locks, making them difficult to use effectively.
Innovation Solution
The observation carrier features a bottom base, lower and upper covers, and a rotation cover that can be assembled and disassembled by rotating the rotation cover, eliminating the need for screw locks, with positioning structures to secure the covers in place and prevent unintended rotation, and includes sealing rings for sample isolation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If screw locks are used to assemble the bottom base, cover, and observation stage, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The observation stage is divided into multiple detachable components (bottom base, cover, observation stage) that can be easily assembled and disassembled through rotation of the rotation cover, eliminating the need for screw locks while maintaining structural integrity during observation
Solution Approach 2:
The rotation cover provides a dynamic locking mechanism that can be quickly rotated to secure or release the observation stage components, replacing static screw locks with a movable, user-friendly operation system
2Reliability
If screw locks are used to secure the observation stage components, then the reliability of component fixation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple fixation functions are merged into a single rotation cover mechanism that simultaneously secures the bottom base, cover, and observation stage through one rotational action, reducing the number of separate fastening components needed
Solution Approach 2:
The rotation cover mechanism provides self-locking capability through its rotational design, where the act of rotation itself secures the components without requiring additional tools or complex assembly procedures

AI summary
An observation carrier includes a bottom base, a lower cover, an upper cover, and a rotation cover. The bottom has at least one first positioning portion. The lower cover has at least one second positioning portion, and at least one third positioning portion. The lower cover is detachably disposed on the bottom base and positioned with the first positioning portion through the second positioning portion. The upper cover has at least one fourth positioning portion and is detachably disposed on the bottom base. The upper cover is positioned with the third positioning portion through the fourth positioning portion. An observation region is formed between the upper cover and the lower cover. The rotation cover is detachably disposed on the bottom base to limit the upper and lower covers on the bottom base. The rotation cover is adapted to rotate to be locked or released by the bottom base.
