A stopping device for loading and unloading embedding cassettes

Abstract

The present application relates to a device for loading and unloading embedded cassettes, comprising a conveying mechanism, a loading mechanism corresponding to the conveying mechanism, and an ejection mechanism. The loading mechanism accommodates a conjoined embedded cassette, either with its lid open or closed, or the embedded cassette body alone. The conveying mechanism propels the embedded cassette to a sliding mechanism. The sliding mechanism includes a slideway. As the embedded cassette slides down the slideway, a first baffle and a second baffle, respectively, prevent the embedded cassette from falling off the slideway. A stop block is also provided at the bottom of the slideway to stop the embedded cassette at the bottom of the slideway. The ejection mechanism includes a buffer block, which is provided at the bottom of the slideway relatively close to the stop block. This buffer block ensures that the embedded cassette reaches the buffer block before sliding down to the stop block. This slows the rate at which the embedded cassette falls to the stop block, preventing the embedded cassette from falling off the slideway due to excessive sliding speed.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to a device for stopping loading and unloading embedding cassettes. Background Art

[0002] Cassettes are containers for storing pathology specimens. To identify them, they must be labeled with a QR code, pathology number, patient identification information, and other characters. A cassette numbering machine batch-numbers cassettes, marking each cassette to facilitate identification and prevent confusion.

[0003] Existing cassette numbering machines typically only accept one type of cassette, which is a limitation. If a different type of cassette is needed, a separate cassette numbering machine must be purchased. Because the overall shapes of cassettes in different states vary, the stop mechanism cannot simultaneously stop multiple types of cassettes during loading and unloading.

[0004] Chinese patent CN218142597U discloses a cassette numbering machine, comprising a numbering machine body and a storage box. A base plate is disposed within the numbering machine body, near the bottom end. A loading assembly is disposed within the storage box, near the bottom end. The loading assembly comprises a loading rack and a wedge-shaped plate. A push assembly is disposed above the base plate and to the right of the loading rack. The push assembly comprises a conveyor rack and a push plate. A positioning mechanism is disposed above the conveyor rack, near the right edge. The advantageous effects of this utility model include: the push plate can smoothly push the cassette to the right, preventing it from tilting and facilitating numbering or outputting the cassette. During numbering, the push plate and baffle cooperate to position and clamp the cassette, preventing the cassette from tilting during the numbering process and affecting the numbering effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an embedding cassette loading and unloading stopping device to address the problem that the embedding cassette numbering machine cannot stop embedding cassettes of various states and types at the same time.

[0006] The present application provides a device for stopping and stopping embedding cassette loading and unloading, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A device for stopping and loading an embedding cassette. A conveying mechanism and a loading mechanism corresponding to the conveying mechanism, wherein a conjoined embedding cassette is placed on the loading mechanism, wherein the conjoined embedding cassette comprises an embedding cassette body and an embedding cassette cover, wherein the embedding cassette body is connected to the embedding cassette cover; a sliding mechanism and a blocking mechanism arranged on the sliding mechanism, wherein the sliding mechanism comprises a slideway, and the blocking mechanism comprises a first baffle and a second baffle, wherein the slideway is inclined relative to the ground, the first baffle and the second baffle are respectively arranged on both sides of the slideway, and the slideway has a contact with the upper baffle. The feeding mechanism is provided with a slide entrance corresponding to the feeding mechanism, and a stopping block is provided at the bottom end of the slide to stop the conjoined embedding cassette at the bottom end of the slide; the pushing mechanism includes a buffer block, which is movably provided on the slide relatively close to the bottom end of the stopping block so that the conjoined embedding cassette is first stopped and buffered by the buffer block and then slides to the stopping block, and the buffer block is provided with a first inclined portion so that the embedding cassette cover can smoothly pass through the inclined surface of the buffer block, while the embedding cassette body is still stopped at the buffer block.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the loading mechanism provides a conjoined embedding cassette, and the conveying mechanism is capable of pushing the conjoined embedding cassette placed on the loading mechanism. Driven by the conveying mechanism, the conjoined embedding cassette enters the slide through the slide entrance and slides to the bottom of the slide under the influence of gravity. A first baffle and a second baffle block the sides of the slide, preventing the conjoined embedding cassette from escaping from the slide during its descent. A buffer block and a stop block are both positioned on the slide at a predetermined distance. The buffer block is movable away from the slide and is fixed to the bottom of the slide. As the conjoined embedding cassette slides down the slide, it first slides onto the buffer block to cushion its downward movement. The buffer block then moves away from the slide. When the buffer block reaches a position where it is no longer in contact with the slide, the conjoined embedding cassette continues to slide onto the stop block.

[0009] The conjoined embedding cassette comprises an embedding cassette body and a lid. When the lid is opened and slides down with the embedding cassette body, the lid first reaches the bottom of the slideway and does not contact the slideway. A first inclined portion on the buffer block allows the lid to pass smoothly through the buffer block, while the portion of the buffer block without the first inclined portion blocks the embedding cassette body, preventing the conjoined embedding cassette from sliding further downward. Whether the lid is placed on the embedding cassette body or only the embedding cassette body is allowed to slide down the slideway, the buffer block can effectively block various types of embedding cassettes. If the embedding cassette slides directly onto the stop block, it is very likely to break through the stop block and fall off the slideway. However, if the embedding cassette slides onto the buffer block first and then onto the stop block, it is ensured that the cassette will not fall off the slideway due to excessive sliding speed when it reaches the stop block. The embedding cassette loading and unloading stopping device provided in the present application can not only further prevent the embedding cassette from falling off the slideway during the sliding process, but also enable embedding cassettes of various states and types to slide smoothly.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present application, the ejection mechanism further includes a pushing block, which is connected to the buffer block. The pushing block is movably arranged on one side of the slide, and the moving direction of the pushing block is the direction towards or away from the slide.

[0011] By adopting this technical solution, as the cassette slides down the slide, the pusher block moves toward the slide, causing the buffer block to gradually overlap the slide, allowing the cassette to slide onto the buffer block. The pusher block then moves away from the slide, gradually separating the buffer block from the slide, and the cassette slides onto the stop block. The pusher block then moves toward the slide, causing the buffer block to gradually overlap the slide, pushing the cassette away from the slide. The buffer block not only acts as a buffer, but also, under the action of the pusher block, pushes the cassette to the appropriate position for the user to retrieve it.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present application, the sliding mechanism further includes a loading slide rail, the loading rail is arranged on a side of the slide relatively close to the loading mechanism, and the pushing block is arranged on a side of the slide relatively far away from the loading mechanism to push the conjoined embedding box to move in a direction toward the loading slide rail.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the buffer block, under the action of the pusher block, pushes the cassettes located on the stop block toward the loading track. The cassettes are pushed onto the loading track in sequence, making it easy for users to pick up the cassettes in order. Conventional loading tracks are typically located on the side of the slideway relatively far from the loading mechanism, and the cassettes are arranged in reverse order on the loading track, which is not in line with human usage habits. In the device provided in this application, however, the loading track is positioned so that the cassettes are arranged in a forward-ordered manner, which is more in line with human usage habits.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, the slide also has a slide outlet corresponding to the loading track, and the blocking mechanism also includes a third baffle plate communicatively connected to the pushing block, and the third baffle plate is movably arranged at the slide outlet, and the third baffle plate is configured to regulate the sliding direction of the conjoined embedding box according to the moving direction of the conjoined embedding box.

[0015] With this technical solution, as the cassette slides down the slide, the pusher block begins to move, and the third stop plate moves upward to the slide exit, blocking the exit and preventing the cassette from falling out of the slide and sliding to the correct position. When the cassette slides to the stop block, the third stop plate moves downward to open the slide exit, and the buffer block moves toward the slide, pushing the cassette from the slide exit to the loading track.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present application, the ejection mechanism further includes a first sensor, which is disposed on a side of the slide relatively away from the slide exit, and the third baffle is communicatively connected to the first sensor.

[0017] With this technical solution, when the cassette slides onto the buffer block and the sensor detects it, marking and numbering begin. Once marking and numbering are completed, the third stop plate moves downward to open the chute exit. The push block moves away from the chute exit, gradually separating the buffer block from the chute, and the marked cassette slides onto the stop block. The push block then moves toward the chute exit, pushing the cassette through the chute exit and onto the loading track.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present application, an anti-flying baffle is provided on the upper side of the buffer block, and the anti-flying baffle is connected to the first baffle and the second baffle.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-flying baffle can further prevent the embedding cassette from falling off the slide when it slides onto the buffer block. When the embedding cassette flies upward out of the slide, the anti-flying baffle can block the embedding cassette and prevent it from falling off the slide.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present application, the loading mechanism includes a loading trough and a support plate arranged corresponding to the loading trough, the loading trough is arranged on a side relatively close to the conveying mechanism, the support plate is arranged on a side relatively close to the slide, and a second inclined portion is provided at the entrance of the support plate.

[0021] With this technical solution, the cassette is placed in the loading chute, and the conveyor mechanism propels the cassette from the loading chute to the corresponding support plate. The second inclined portion facilitates smoother movement of the cassette from the loading chute to the support plate, preventing it from becoming stuck at the transition between the loading chute and the support plate. The cassette smoothly moves onto the support plate via the second inclined portion, where it is then pushed onto the slide by the transport mechanism.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present application, a sliding shaft is provided on the support plate, and a third inclined portion is provided at one end of the sliding shaft close to the slideway outlet.

[0023] With this technical solution, the transport mechanism propels the cassette from the loading chute to the support plate. During this process, the cassette passes over the sliding shaft. A third inclined portion at the end of the sliding shaft near the slideway exit facilitates the transition of the cassette onto the slideway under the influence of gravity.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present application, a fourth baffle is provided on the upper side of the support plate.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the fourth baffle can further protect the embedding cassette from separating from the support plate and the slide.

[0026] A cassette numbering machine comprises the above-mentioned cassette loading and unloading stopping device.

[0027] In summary, the technical solution provided by this application has at least one of the following technical effects:

[0028] 1. By installing a stop block at the bottom of the slideway and a buffer block at the bottom of the slideway relatively close to the stop block, the cassette is first stopped and buffered by the buffer block before sliding down to the stop block. The buffer block prevents the cassette from sliding directly onto the stop block and slows down its descent to the stop block, preventing the cassette from overrunning the stop block and leaving the slideway due to excessive speed.

[0029] 2. A first inclined portion is provided on the buffer block, allowing the cassette lid to smoothly pass over the inclined surface of the buffer block while the cassette body remains stopped at the buffer block. A conjoined cassette comprises a body and lid. As it slides down the slide, it passes over the buffer block and reaches the bottom of the slide. The first inclined portion allows the cassette lid to slide smoothly without getting stuck on the buffer block.

[0030] 3. By placing the loading track on the side of the slideway relatively close to the loading mechanism, the ejection mechanism pushes the cassettes onto the loading track. The cassettes are arranged in a forward order on the loading track, which is more in line with human usage habits. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 1The overall structure of the embedding cassette loading and unloading device of the present application is schematically illustrated. The embedding cassette loading and unloading device provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a conveying mechanism 10, a loading mechanism 20 corresponding to the conveying mechanism 10, and a pushing mechanism 60. The loading mechanism 20 receives a conjoined embedding cassette 30, either with its lid 32 open or closed, or a cassette body 31 alone. The conveying mechanism 10 pushes the embedding cassette (hereinafter referred to as the conjoined embedding cassette 30 and the embedding cassette body 31) toward the sliding mechanism 40. The sliding mechanism 40 includes a slide 41. As the embedding cassette slides down the slide 41, a first stopper 51 and a second stopper 52, respectively, prevent the embedding cassette from falling off the slide 41. A stopper 53 is also provided at the bottom end of the slide 41 to stop the embedding cassette at the bottom end of the slide 41. The ejection mechanism 60 includes a buffer block 61, which is arranged at the bottom of the slide 41 relatively close to the stop block 53 so that the embedding cassette reaches the buffer block 61 first and then slides to the stop block 53, slowing down the speed at which the embedding cassette slides to the stop block 53, and preventing the embedding cassette from falling off the slide 41 due to excessive sliding speed.

[0038] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 The following diagrams illustrate the structure of a one-piece embedding cassette 30 in some embodiments of the present application. The one-piece embedding cassette 30 includes an embedding cassette body 31 and an embedding cassette lid 32. Specifically, the embedding cassette body 31 is connected to the embedding cassette lid 32, which is detachable from the embedding cassette body 31. The embedding cassette can be used in three different states: with the lid 32 connected to the embedding cassette body 31 and open; with the lid 32 covering the embedding cassette body 31; and with only the embedding cassette body 31.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, one half of the buffer block 61 is provided with a first inclined portion 611 at a predetermined angle to the slideway 41, and the other half is provided with a blocking portion parallel to the slideway 41. The side of the first inclined portion 611 closer to the stop block 53 is taller than the side farther from the stop block 53. The height of the blocking portion is consistent with the height of the first inclined portion 611. When the embedding cassette slides onto the buffer block 61, the blocking portion blocks the embedding cassette body 31, allowing the embedding cassette lid 32 to slide smoothly over the first inclined portion 611 to the bottom end of the slideway 41. The buffer block 61, equipped with the first inclined portion 611 and the blocking portion, can both block the embedding cassette body 31 and allow the embedding cassette lid 32 to slide smoothly, making it suitable for embedding cassettes of various types.

[0040] Please continue reading Figure 1The chute 41 has a chute entrance 411 corresponding to the loading mechanism 20. Specifically, the conveying mechanism 10 pushes the embedding cassette through the chute entrance 411 and onto the chute 41. A first baffle 51 is disposed on one side of the chute 41 where the chute entrance 411 is located, and a second baffle 52 is disposed on the other side of the chute 41. Both the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 52 prevent the embedding cassette from escaping the chute 41.

[0041] The slide 41 is also provided with a slide outlet 412 near the bottom. Specifically, the slide outlet 412 is provided on the slide 41 on the same side as the slide inlet 411. The first baffle 51 can block the slide 41 that is not provided with the slide inlet 411 and the slide outlet 412.

[0042] The ejection mechanism 60 also includes a pusher block 62, a conveyor belt 63, and a motor 64. Specifically, the pusher block 62 is in transmission connection with the motor 64 via the conveyor belt 63. The pusher block 62 is movably disposed on the other side corresponding to the slideway outlet 412. The pusher block 62 is connected to the buffer block 61. The pusher block 62 can move in a direction toward or away from the slideway outlet 412. During the movement of the pusher block 62, the buffer block 61 is driven to move in a direction toward or away from the slideway outlet 412.

[0043] As the cassette slides down, the pusher block 62 drives the buffer block 61 toward the slideway exit 412, whereupon the buffer block 61 gradually overlaps the slideway 41, causing the cassette to slide down onto the buffer block 61. Subsequently, as the pusher block 62 drives the buffer block 61 away from the slideway exit 412, the buffer block 61 gradually separates from the slideway 41, allowing the cassette to continue sliding down onto the stop block 53. The pusher block 62 then drives the buffer block 61 toward the slideway exit 412, pushing the cassette off the slideway 41 to a desired position.

[0044] A moving track 65 is provided on the lower side of the pusher block 62 , and the pusher block 62 moves on the moving track 65 . The length of the moving track 65 determines the moving distance and direction of the pusher block 62 .

[0045] Specifically in the embodiment, limit plates 66 are respectively provided at both ends of the moving track 65 to prevent the pushing block 62 from being separated from the moving track 65 during the movement on the moving track 65 and causing structural dislocation.

[0046] The ejection mechanism 60 also includes a first sensor 67, and the blocking mechanism 50 also includes a third baffle 54. Specifically, the first sensor 67 is located on a side of the slide 41 relatively far from the slide exit 412, and the third baffle 54 is in communication with the first sensor 67. When the pusher block 62 begins to move toward the slide exit 412, the third baffle 54 rises, blocking the slide exit 412 to prevent the embedding cassette from leaving the slide 41 during marking.

[0047] The ejection mechanism 60 also includes a second sensor 68 and a light shield 69. Specifically, the light shield 69 is disposed on the pusher block 62. When the pusher block 62 moves toward the slideway exit 412 until the buffer block 61 completely overlaps the slideway 41, the light shield 69 contacts the second sensor 68, causing the pusher block 62 to stop moving and the buffer block 61 to pause on the slideway 41. After the embedding cassette placed on the slideway 41 is marked, the third baffle 54 descends, and the buffer block 61, driven by the pusher block 62, moves away from the slideway exit 412. The marked embedding cassette slides onto the stop block 53.

[0048] The sliding mechanism 40 also includes a loading track 42 for receiving marked and numbered cassettes. Specifically, when the cassettes slide onto the buffer block 61, marking and numbering begin. After marking is completed, the motor 64 drives the pusher block 62 along the movable track 65 toward the slideway exit 412. The buffer block 61 connected to the pusher block 62 also moves toward the slideway exit 412, pushing the cassettes onto the loading track 42 for forward sorting.

[0049] When the cassette slides onto the buffer block 61 and the first sensor 67 detects it, marking and numbering begin. Once marking and numbering are complete, the third stop plate 54 moves downward to open the chute exit 412. The pusher block 62 moves away from the chute exit 412, gradually separating the buffer block 61 from the chute 41. The marked cassette slides onto the stop block 53. The pusher block 62 then moves toward the chute exit 412, pushing the cassette through the chute exit 412 and onto the loading track 42.

[0050] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 The following diagram illustrates the structure of an anti-flying baffle 55 in some embodiments of the present application. The blocking mechanism 50 also includes the anti-flying baffle 55. Specifically, the anti-flying baffle 55 is positioned above the stop block 53 on the chute 41 where the embedding cassette rests. The anti-flying baffle 55 is connected to the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 52. The anti-flying baffle 55 further prevents the embedding cassette from sliding off the chute 41 when it falls onto the buffer block 61. If the embedding cassette flies upward out of the chute 41, the anti-flying baffle 55 can stop the cassette from falling off the chute 41.

[0051] The blocking mechanism 50 further includes a fourth baffle 56. Specifically, the fourth baffle 56 is disposed on the upper side of the support plate 22, and the embedding cassette is located in the space formed by the support plate 22 and the fourth baffle 56. The fourth baffle 56 can further protect the embedding cassette from separating from the support plate 22 and the slideway 41.

[0052] The loading mechanism 20 includes a loading chute 21 and a support plate 22 corresponding to the loading chute 21. Specifically, the loading chute 21 and the support plate 22 are disposed between the conveyor mechanism 10 and the slideway 41. The loading chute 21 is disposed relatively close to the conveyor mechanism 10. The support plate 22 is disposed relatively close to the slideway 41. The conveyor mechanism 10 pushes the cassettes in the loading chute 21 onto the support plate 22, where they pass through the slideway entrance 411 and enter the slideway 41.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, a second inclined portion 221 is provided on the side of the support plate 22 that is closer to the conveyor mechanism 10. The height of the second inclined portion 221 is lower on the side closer to the conveyor mechanism 10 than on the side farther from the conveyor mechanism 10. The second inclined portion 221 facilitates smoother movement of the embedding cassette from the loading chute 21 to the support plate 22, preventing it from becoming stuck in the transition between the loading chute 21 and the support plate 22.

[0054] The support plate 22 is provided with a sliding shaft 23. Specifically, a third inclined portion 231 is provided on the end of the sliding shaft 23 near the slideway exit 412. The height of the third inclined portion 231 is lower on the side closer to the slideway 41 than on the side farther from the slideway 41. The conveyor mechanism 10 propels the embedding cassette from the loading chute 21 to the support plate 22. During this process, the cassette passes over the sliding shaft 23. The third inclined portion 231 on the end of the sliding shaft 23 near the slideway exit 412 facilitates the transition of the cassette to the slideway 41 under the action of gravity.

[0055] A cassette numbering machine comprises the above-mentioned cassette loading and unloading stopping device.

[0056] The cassette loading and unloading stopping device provided herein operates as follows: by disposing a stopping block 53 at the bottom of the slide 41 and a buffer block 61 at the bottom of the slide 41 relatively close to the stopping block 53, the cassette is first stopped and buffered by the buffer block 61 before sliding down to the stopping block 53. The buffer block 61 prevents the cassette from sliding directly onto the stopping block 53 and slows down its descent to the stopping block 53, preventing the cassette from sliding out of the slide 41 due to excessive speed and thus overrunning the stopping block 53. The buffer block 61 is provided with a first inclined portion 611, which allows the cassette lid 32 to pass smoothly over the inclined surface of the buffer block 61 while the cassette body 31 remains stopped at the buffer block 61. The conjoined cassette 30 comprises an embedding cassette body 31 and an embedding cassette lid 32. As the conjoined cassette 30 slides down the slide 41, it passes over the buffer block 61 and reaches the bottom of the slide 41. The first inclined portion 611 enables the embedding cassette cover 32 to slide smoothly without being stuck on the buffer block 61 .
