Apparatus for providing object to be medically examined by blowing

Abstract

An apparatus for providing an object to be medically examined by blowing is provided where air is blown into a container in which an object to be medically examined is stored, so as to make the uniform distribution state of the object to be medically examined from the inside of the container, thereby ensuring the sameness of the object to be medically examined, which is to be extracted from the container.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for placing objects to be examined (examination objects) by blowing, comprising:
 a container fixing means for holding a container, wherein the container is equipped with a first cap filter at the opening and contains a mixed solution with the examination objects;   a suction unit with an air ejecting and sucking means, wherein the air ejecting and sucking means: is coupled to a filter for letting a solution through and blocking the examination objects, in a state where the opening of the container containing the mixed solution is coupled to the upper end of the filter; firstly ejects air to the lower side of the filter to float the examination objects in the container; and then secondly performs a suction operation to place the examination objects inside the container on the filter;   a blower unit for generating, when a slide is located on the upper end of the filter on which the examination objects are placed, positive pressure in the lower end of the filter and placing the examination objects placed on the filter onto the slide; and   a filter transfer means for sequentially transferring the filter onto the suction unit and the blower unit,   wherein the suction unit: is coupled to the filter in a state where the opening of the container is coupled to the filter; firstly expels air to the filter so that the examination objects, settled in the first cap filter of the container, are floated and uniformly spread in the mixed solution; secondly sucks the examination objects from the container; and places the examination objects on the filter.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the suction unit:
 secondly sucks the filter; moves down with the filter after the examination objects are placed on the filter to separate the filter from the opening of the container; additionally sucks a solution and materials hindering the inspection, placed on the filter; and discharges the sucked solution and materials.   
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein:
 in a state where the slide is located on the upper end of the filter on which the examination objects are placed,   when the blower unit first blows air to the filter, a collecting film of the filter swells and approaches the slide so that the examination objects are placed on the slide; and when the blower unit secondly blows air to the filter, the examination objects are uniformly spread on and simultaneously firmly placed onto the slide.   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a ratio turbidity measurement means for measuring turbidity of the mixed solution to determine the distribution ratio of the examination objects contained in the mixed solution of the container.   
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a barcode recognition means for checking whether the barcodes attached to the container and the slide match with each other.
