Preferably, the adjustment member 108 is an adjustment screw mounted to the mounting hole 94g, the adjustment screw extending in the vertical direction.

The adjustment screw is mounted to the mounting hole 94g by a nut, and by screwing the adjustment screw to adjust the position of the adjustment screw in the vertical direction, the tenth slider 99 is moved relative to the ninth slider 98 to adjust the position of the tenth slider 99 in the vertical direction, so that the third elastic member 101 is stretched or compressed, and the elastic force of the third elastic member 101 is changed, thereby changing the tightness of the connection of the force application portion 100 and the third portion 94c of the second transmission member 94, and thus changing the response speed of the force application portion 100 in synchronization with the movement of the third portion 94c of the second transmission member 94.

In addition, as mentioned above, while the third portion 94c of the second transmission member 94 moves along the vertical direction, under the action of the third elastic member 101, the force application portion 100 can move synchronously along the vertical direction with the second transmission member 94, so that the force application end 102 abuts against one end of the lever assembly 93 close to the first support plate 50, and then the lever assembly 93 is driven to perform a lever movement around the third axis P. After the adjusting member 108 is arranged, the tenth sliding member 99 is driven by the adjusting member 108 to slide relative to the ninth sliding member 98, so that the position of the force application end 102 in the vertical direction can be adjusted, the time when the force application end 102 abuts against the lever assembly 93 can be adjusted, that is, the time when the lever assembly 93 generates lever motion can be adjusted, and the detection precision of the detection assembly 9 can be improved.

Further, referring to fig. 21 to 24, the force application portion 100 includes: a fixing member 110, the fixing member 110 including a first portion 104 and a second portion 103 that are vertically connected, the first portion 104 of the fixing member 110 being connected to the tenth sliding member 99, the second portion 103 of the fixing member 110 extending in a direction away from the first support plate 50, the fixing member 110 being connected to the third elastic member 101; preferably, the first portion 104 of the fixing member 110 is connected with the third elastic member 101. The force application part 100 further comprises a force application member 105, the force application member 105 is parallel to the second portion 103 of the fixing member 110, and the force application end 102 is disposed at an end of the force application member 105 facing the third portion 94c of the second transmission member 94.

Preferably, one end of the lever assembly 93 close to the first support plate 50 has a recess 93a, the force applying end 102 is disposed toward the recess 93a in a direction away from the fixing member 110, and the force applying end 102 is configured to abut against the recess 93 a; preferably, the force application end 102 extends at least partially in the vertical direction; in this embodiment, the force application end 102 extends completely in the vertical direction; it is further preferred that the force application end 102 is in an arc-shaped transition connection with an end of the force application member 105 facing said third portion 94c of said second transmission member 94.

The first and

second portions

104 and 103 of the fixing member 110 move in the vertical direction, and after the force application end 102 moves to abut against the concave portion 93a of the lever assembly 93, the first and

second portions

104 and 103 of the fixing member 110 continue to move in the vertical direction, so that the force application end 102 applies a force to the concave portion 93a to drive the lever assembly 93 to perform a lever movement (indicated by the direction L in fig. 21) about the third axis P.

Since the force applying end 102 will rub against the concave portion 93a during the lever movement of the lever assembly 93 around the third axis P, in order to facilitate the force applying end 102 to apply the acting force to the concave portion 93a, referring to fig. 24, a fourth elastic member 109 is disposed between the fixed member 110 and the force applying member 105, and the fourth elastic member 109 is connected to the fixed member 110 and the force applying member 105 respectively; preferably, the fourth elastic member 109 is located between the force applying member 105 and the second portion 103 of the fixing member 110, the fourth elastic member 109 is connected to the force applying member 105 and the second portion 103 of the fixing member 110, respectively, and the force applying member 105 and the second portion 103 of the fixing member 110 can slide relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the first support plate 50 (shown in the Y direction in fig. 21). Thus, the force-applying end 102 moves laterally relative to the recess 93a, i.e., in a direction perpendicular to the first support plate 50, the force-applying end 102 moves relative to the recess 93a, which reduces or eliminates lateral friction between the force-applying end 102 and the recess 93a, facilitating the force-applying end 102 to apply a force to the recess 93 a.

If the force applying member 105 and the second portion 103 of the fixing member 110 do not slide relative to each other in the direction perpendicular to the first support plate 50, the force applying end 102 will not move laterally relative to the concave portion 93a, and then the force applying end 102 will interfere laterally, the force applying end 102 will rub laterally against the concave portion 93a, the force applying end 102 will exert a force on the concave portion 93a will be affected, and the service life of the detecting assembly 9 will be affected.

Preferably, referring to fig. 21 to 24, the sliding assembly between the force applying member 105 and the fixing member 110 includes: an eleventh sliding member 107 fixedly installed at a portion of the fixed member 110 facing the force applying member 105, and extending in a direction perpendicular to the first support plate 50; and a twelfth slider 108 connected to a portion of the force application member 105 facing the fixed member 110, wherein the eleventh slider 107 and the twelfth slider 108 are engaged with each other and can slide relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the first support plate 50 when the force application end abuts against the concave portion.

It is further preferable that the eleventh sliding member 107 is fixedly disposed on a portion of the second portion 103 of the fixed member 110 facing the force application member 105, and the twelfth sliding member 108 is connected to a portion of the force application member 105 facing the second portion 103 of the fixed member 110. In this embodiment, the eleventh sliding member 107 is a sliding rail and extends along the vertical direction, the twelfth sliding member 108 is a sliding block, and the eleventh sliding member 107 and the twelfth sliding member 108 are mutually matched. In other embodiments, other types of slides are possible, such as guide rods and sliding sleeves.

Wherein the elastic force of the third elastic member 101 and the elastic force of the fourth elastic member 109 satisfy the following conditions: the force application portion 100 can move synchronously with the second transmission member 94 along the vertical direction, and when the force application end 102 abuts against the concave portion 93a, the eleventh sliding member 107 and the twelfth sliding member 108 can slide relatively along a direction perpendicular to the first support plate 50. With the arrangement, the force application part 100 can move synchronously along the vertical direction along with the second transmission part 94, the force application end 102 can not be interfered to apply acting force to the concave part 93a, the lever assembly 93 can be ensured to stably perform lever motion around the third axis P, the driving gear 92 rotates around the second axis M, and then the sensing part 91 is driven to rotate around the first axis N, so that whether the slide glass 2 is clamped in the clamping part 5a or not can be detected.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the second transmission member 94 moves in the vertical direction, so that the force applying end 102 abuts against the concave portion 93a of the lever assembly 93, and the lever assembly 93 is driven to perform the lever movement around the third axis P. Preferably, the force application end 102 of the force application portion 100 is engaged with a tooth surface of an end of the lever assembly 93 close to the first support plate 50, and can also drive the lever assembly 93 to perform a lever motion around the third axis P.

Preferably, one of the force application end 102 of the force application portion 100 and the end of the lever assembly 93 close to the first support plate 50 is a rack, and the other is a gear 92; further preferably, the force application end 102 of the force application portion 100 and the end of the lever assembly 93 close to the first support plate 50 are both racks; more preferably, the force application end 102 of the force application portion 100 and the end of the lever assembly 93 close to the first support plate 50 are both gears 92. The detection unit 9 is provided in such a manner as to detect whether or not the slide 2 is held in the holding portion 5 a.

In addition, referring to fig. 18 to 25, preferably, the ninth sliding member 98 is fixed to a side of the third portion 94c of the second transmission member 94, which faces away from the first supporting plate 50; as in the previous embodiment, the first support plate 50 is located between the first portion 94a and the third portion 94c of the second transmission piece 94, the first portion 94a of the second transmission piece 94 is connected to the eighth sliding piece 97, and the second transmission piece 94 is attached to the side of the eighth sliding piece 97 facing away from the first support plate 50. Equivalent to the second transmission member 94 is reversely buckled on the first support plate 50, and one end of the lever assembly 93, which is far away from the clamping part 5a, is longer than the first support plate 50, so that the lever assembly 93 is stressed to complete the lever movement, and the detection assembly 9 is facilitated to detect whether the slide 2 is clamped in the clamping part 5 a.

In addition, referring to fig. 18 and 21, when the clamping portion 5a clamps the slide 2, the second end 91b of the sensing member 91 moves to contact with the slide 2 under the interaction of the second transmission member 94, the third elastic member 101, the urging portion 100, the lever assembly 93 and the gear 92. Since the second end 91b of the sensing member 91 abuts the slide 2, the second end 91b of the sensing member 91 cannot move further, and accordingly, the gear 92 and the lever assembly 93 cannot move further. Then, the urging portion 100 that applies the urging force to the lever assembly 93 interferes and remains stationary.

Due to the third elastic element 101, when the second transmission piece 94 continues to move, the third elastic element 101 is stretched to play a role in buffering the force leakage, and the force application part 100 does not move synchronously with the second transmission piece 94. That is, the urging portion 100 does not apply an urging force to the lever assembly 93; thus, the gear 92 does not rotate; then, the second end 91b of the sensing member 91 does not continue to move toward the slide 2, and the second end 91b of the sensing member 91 can be prevented from crushing the slide 2.

Equivalently, the third elastic member 101 of the present invention has at least two functions, on one hand, before the second end 91b of the sensing member 91 moves to contact with the slide 2, the force application portion 100 can move synchronously with the second transmission member 94 along the vertical direction to drive the second end 91b of the sensing member 91 to move to contact with the slide 2; on the other hand, after the second end 91b of the sensing member 91 is moved into contact with the slide 2, the second end 91b of the sensing member 91 can be prevented from crushing the slide 2.

In addition, referring to fig. 18 to 25 in combination with fig. 11 to 17, it should be noted that, preferably, the slide glass holding device 5 of the present embodiment also includes the components described in the previous embodiments, such as the second supporting plate 53, the first elastic member 57, the first sliding member 54, the second sliding member 55, the third supporting plate 56, the first limiting member 81, the second limiting member 82, the fourth supporting plate 59, the third sliding member 59a, the fourth sliding member 59b, the second driving assembly 7, and the like.
