Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and intended to be used for explaining the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

A dying machine according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, a dying machine according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a casing 1, a slide carrier 2, a mechanical arm assembly 3 and a reflective photoelectric sensor 4.

As shown in fig. 1 and 5, a light barrier 21 is provided on the slide carrier 2, the robot arm assembly 3 is provided in the casing 1, the slide carrier 2 is detachably provided on the robot arm assembly 3 and is movable in the casing 1 in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction, and the reflective type photoelectric sensor 4 is provided on the casing 1 for counting a plurality of slides 7 in the slide carrier 2.

As shown in fig. 1 and 5, the light barrier 21 is disposed on a side of the slide 7 in the slide carrier 2 away from the reflective photoelectric sensor 4, in other words, when the light column of the reflective photoelectric sensor 4 irradiates the slide, the slide 7 can be set off with the light barrier 21 as a background, so that the reflective photoelectric sensor 4 can alternately detect the slide 7 and the light barrier 21 when detecting the moving slide carrier 2, and thus the dyeing machine of the embodiment of the invention can convert the fluctuating signal value into the number of the slides 7 to count the slides 7.

According to the utility model discloses dyeing machine, when counting slide 7 on slide carrier 2, can control slide carrier 2 through robotic arm assembly 3 and remove along X direction, Y direction or Z direction in casing 1 to make reflection type photoelectric sensor 4 shine each slide 7 in proper order, thereby count slide 7. Because be equipped with the strip 21 that is in the light on the slide carrier 2, consequently when the light column that reflection type photoelectric sensor 4 launches shines slide 7, can be in the light through strip 21 that is in the light between each slide 7 and handle to reduce the probability of reflection type photoelectric sensor 4 disturbance of slide carrier 2's reverberation, and then improved the accuracy of dyeing machine count, in addition, because the utility model discloses the dyeing machine only can count slide 7 through a reflection type photoelectric sensor 4, makes the simple structure of dyeing machine, and the cost is reduced.

Further, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the robot arm assembly 3 includes a first arm 31, a second arm 32, and a hook 33, the first arm 31 being movably provided in the casing 1 in the X direction (as the length direction of the dyeing machine in fig. 1), the second arm 32 being movably provided on the first arm 31 in the Y direction (as the width direction of the dyeing machine in fig. 1), the hook 33 being movably provided on the second arm 32 in the Z direction (as the up-down direction of the dyeing machine in fig. 1), the slide glass carrier 2 being detachably provided on the hook 33. It will be appreciated that the first arm 31, the second arm 32 and the hook 33 can move the slide carrier 2 within the respective spaces of the cabinet 1, for example, as shown in fig. 3A and 3B, when the dyeing machine needs to count a slide 7 on a slide carrier 2 in the cabinet 1, the slide carrier 2 can be lifted by cooperation of the first arm 31, the second arm 32 and the hook 33, as shown in fig. 4 and 4B, and moved in the Y direction by the second arm 32 so that the respective slides 7 on the slide carrier 2 are sequentially irradiated through the reflective photoelectric sensor 4 to count the slides 7 on the slide carrier 2.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 5A and 5B, the light blocking strip 21 is a strip of light absorbing material, for example, the light blocking strip 21 is black and has a frosted surface. When the reflective photoelectric sensor 4 irradiates on the light blocking strips 21, the light columns emitted by the reflective photoelectric sensor 4 can be further absorbed by the light blocking strips 21 made of the light absorbing material, so that the counting of the reflective photoelectric sensor 4 is more sensitive and accurate.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the dying machine further comprises a mounting seat 5, the mounting seat 5 being provided at one end of the machine shell 1 along the X direction, the reflective photoelectric sensor 4 being mounted on the mounting seat 5, it being understood that the light column emitted by the reflective photoelectric sensor 4 is parallel to the X direction. Optionally, the mount pad 5 is installed on the outer wall of casing 1, is equipped with the through-hole 11 relative with reflection type photoelectric sensor 4 on the wall of casing 1, because the utility model discloses the outside of casing 1 is located to reflection type photoelectric sensor 4 of dyeing machine to be convenient for operating personnel's debugging and maintenance.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, the outer peripheral edge of the protective glass sheet 6 is sealed with the inner wall surface of the through hole 11, so that the reagent in the casing 1 can be prevented from splashing to contaminate the reflective photoelectric sensor 4, and the detection accuracy is not affected, and of course, external contaminants can be prevented from entering the casing 1, and the cleanliness in the casing 1 can be improved.
