Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an embedding cassette numbering machine and its operating method. Background Technology

[0002] An embedding cassette is a container for storing pathological specimens. To identify these cassettes, they need to be marked with a QR code, pathology number, patient identification information, etc. An embedding cassette numbering machine is a machine that prints serial numbers on embedding cassettes in batches. By numbering each embedding cassette, it facilitates differentiation and prevents confusion between them. Existing embedding cassette numbering machines typically can only number embedding cassettes of one type, and their automation and...

[0003] The level of intelligence is not high.

[0004] Chinese patent CN111618441A discloses a universal laser embedding cassette marking machine, which has a bottom support base. The bottom support base is equipped with an embedding cassette input slot, an embedding cassette output drive motor, a controller, a purple laser generator, an embedding cassette printing slide, and an embedding cassette output device. The controller controls the operation of the embedding cassette output drive motor, the purple laser generator, and the embedding cassette output device. The embedding cassette to be printed, placed in the embedding cassette input slot, is pushed onto the embedding cassette printing slide by the embedding cassette output drive motor. The purple laser generator, under the command of the controller, laser prints the embedding cassette on the printing slide. The embedding cassette slides along the printing slide during the entire laser printing process. The embedding cassette output device, under the command of the controller, ejects the printed embedding cassette. This universal laser embedding cassette marking machine does not require dedicated embedding cassettes, has strong versatility, low printing cost, good print clarity, various printing formats, and requires no maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an embedding box numbering machine and its operation method to address the problem of low automation and intelligence of embedding boxes.

[0006] This application provides an embedding cassette marking machine and its operating method, employing the following technical solution: An embedding cassette marking machine includes a base plate, a frame, and a housing. The frame is disposed on the base plate, and the housing is disposed on the frame. A feeding mechanism is disposed inside the housing, comprising a conveying component, a feeding component, and a slide assembly. The conveying component and the feeding component are correspondingly disposed, and the feeding component corresponds to the inlet of the slide assembly. The feeding component is configured to load multiple embedding cassettes, and the conveying component is configured to push the embedding cassettes on the feeding component to move along a direction toward the inlet of the slide assembly. The slide assembly includes a slide. A first stop and a second stop are provided at one end of the slide near the ground. The first stop is configured to be movable, and the second stop is closer to the bottom of the slide than the first stop. A laser marking mechanism includes a marking component and a laser. The marking component is electrically connected to the laser. The marking component is located on the upper side of the first stop to mark the embedding box sliding down to the first stop. A material discharge mechanism includes a push-out component and a material loading track. The push-out component is tractively connected to the first stop, and the material loading track is correspondingly arranged with the second stop. The push-out component includes a pusher block, which is configured to reciprocate in a direction toward or away from the material loading track.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveying component pushes the embedding box in the feeding component to the upper side of the slide, which is relatively far from the ground. The embedding box slides down the slide under the action of gravity. When the embedding box slides down to the relatively bottom position of the slide, it is stopped by the first stop. The laser is activated, and the marking component marks the embedding box with laser. After the embedding box is laser marked, the first stop moves away from the slide under the action of the pusher block, gradually separating from the slide until the marked embedding box is no longer blocked by the first stop and continues to slide down the slide to the second stop. Then the pusher block drives the first stop to move towards the slide, abutting against the marked embedding box. The first stop pushes the marked embedding box to move towards the loading track until the marked embedding box is completely pushed out of the slide and is located on the loading track.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the embedding box marking machine further includes a filtering mechanism, which includes a dust filter, a gas filter, and a first fan. A through hole is provided at the overlap between the slide and the marking component. The dust filter is disposed corresponding to the through hole. The first fan is disposed on the side of the dust filter that is relatively far away from the through hole. The gas filter is connected to the dust filter.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the filtration mechanism can filter dust and purify gas. The embedding box is made of plastic, and after laser marking, it produces toxic gases and dust particles with an irritating odor. After the laser is activated, the first fan starts simultaneously, drawing air away from the dust filter element, creating a negative pressure inside the filter element. Under this negative pressure, the dust and gas generated after laser marking of the embedding box enter the dust filter element through the through-holes, where the dust filter traps the dust. The gas, after passing through the dust filter element, flows into the gas filter element, where the irritating gas is purified. This improves the environmental friendliness of the embedding box marking machine.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the embedding box numbering machine further includes a display mechanism, which includes a display control screen and a power supply component, wherein the power supply component is electrically connected to the display control screen.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, after the power supply to the display control panel is connected, the user can set the number of embedding boxes to be numbered via the display control panel. This simplifies the user's process of using the embedding box numbering machine, making it easier for the user to operate and providing great convenience.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the embedding box marking machine further includes a heat dissipation mechanism, which includes a first air inlet, a second air inlet, a third air inlet, a first air outlet, and a second air outlet. The first air inlet is located on the housing near the display control screen, and the second air inlet is located on one side of the housing near the power supply component. A second fan is correspondingly provided on the first air outlet, and the second air outlet is configured to allow the heat emitted by the laser to be discharged through the second air outlet.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the first air inlet, the second air inlet, and the first air outlet are connected to form a first heat dissipation airflow channel to dissipate heat from the display control screen and power supply components. The third air inlet and the second air outlet are connected to form a second heat dissipation airflow channel to dissipate heat from the laser. When the second fan is started, air enters the housing from the first air inlet, passes through the display control screen and carries away its dissipated heat, which is finally exhausted from the first air outlet. Similarly, air enters the housing from the second air inlet, passes through the power supply components and carries away its dissipated heat, which is also finally exhausted from the first air outlet. The heat generated by the laser is exhausted from the second air outlet through convection between the third air inlet and the second air outlet.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the housing includes a maintenance door, which is detachably disposed on one side of the housing near the slide assembly.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, users can open the maintenance door to inspect and maintain the interior of the embedding box marking machine. When the dust filter is clogged, users can open the maintenance door to replace or clean the dust filter to prevent it from becoming clogged and malfunctioning.

[0016] In one embodiment of this application, the feeding assembly includes a feeding box and a transition plate. The transition plate is disposed on the side of the feeding box that is relatively far away from the conveying assembly. The side of the transition plate that is relatively far away from the feeding box corresponds to the inlet of the slide. An embedding box pressing block is disposed inside the feeding box.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the embedding cassette feeding process is smoother. The embedding cassette is lightweight, and the embedding cassette clamping block can firmly press the cassette into the feeding cassette, allowing the conveying component to more accurately align with the cassette and push it along the direction towards the transition plate. After being pushed out of the feeding cassette, the embedding cassette first passes through the transition plate and then enters the slide, preventing it from getting stuck during movement. This makes the embedding cassette feeding process smoother and improves the fluidity of the feeding process.

[0018] In one embodiment of this application, the fan is provided inside the laser.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the fan will also work synchronously when the laser is working to dissipate heat from the laser. When the fan is working, the third air inlet and the second air outlet form convection. Air enters the housing from the third air inlet, passes through the laser and carries away the heat, and the heat is discharged from the second air outlet.

[0020] A method for operating an embedding cassette marking machine includes the following steps: providing a baffle plate movably disposed at the outlet of a slide rail; a first stop block gradually overlapping the slide rail under the action of a pusher block; the baffle plate rising to block the outlet of the slide rail; a conveying assembly pushing an embedding cassette in a feeding assembly onto the slide rail assembly; the embedding cassette sliding down the slide rail to the first stop block; a marking component laser marking the embedding cassette; the baffle plate lowering to open the outlet of the slide rail; the pusher block driving the first stop block to move away from the slide rail; and finally, the embedding cassette sliding down to the second stop block.

[0021] The pusher block drives the first stop block to move along the direction close to the slide, and pushes the embedding box from the slide.

[0022] The outlet enters the loading track.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first stop block overlaps with the slide rail, the baffle rises, blocking the exit of the slide rail and preventing the embedding box from slipping off the slide rail when it reaches the first stop block. After the marking component marks the embedding box, the baffle descends, so that the pusher block can drive the first stop block to push the embedding box through the exit of the slide rail and into the loading track.

[0024] In one embodiment of this application, during the laser marking step of multiple embedded boxes, the first fan is started, and the dust filter filters dust. If the speed of the first fan decreases, it indicates that the dust filter is blocked. The second fan is started, and the heat from the display control screen and the power supply component is discharged from the first air outlet. The fan is started, and the heat from the laser is discharged from the second air outlet.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, after the embedding cassette is laser-marked, the first fan starts, and the dust and gas generated after laser marking are drawn into the dust filter. After the embedding cassette marking machine has been used for a period of time, the dust filter continuously filters dust, which can easily clog it. If the speed of the first fan decreases, it indicates that the dust filter is clogged, and the user can replace or clean the dust filter in time to ensure the normal operation of the filtration mechanism.

[0026] When the second fan starts, air enters the housing through the first and second air inlets, passes through the display control panel and power supply components respectively, and carries away the generated heat. The heat is then discharged through the first air outlet.

[0027] The fan starts, enhancing the convection between the third air inlet and the second air outlet, allowing air to enter through the third air inlet and the heat from the laser to be expelled through the second air outlet.

[0028] In one embodiment of this application, the maintenance door sensor is provided, and if the maintenance door detaches from the housing, the embedding box marking machine stops operating.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the embedding cassette marking machine can operate normally when the maintenance door is installed on the housing. If the maintenance door is removed from the housing, the embedding cassette marking machine will stop operating. This improves safety by preventing injury to maintenance personnel from the machine starting up when the maintenance door is removed from the housing during maintenance.

[0030] In summary, the technical solution provided in this application has at least one of the following technical effects:

[0031] 1. By setting up a conveyor component corresponding to the feeding component, the conveyor component can push the embedding box in the feeding component and move it onto the slide. The embedding box slides down the slide to the first stop, at which point the marking machine laser-marks the embedding box. After the embedding box is laser-marked, the pusher block moves the first stop away from the slide until it is completely separated from the slide, and the embedding box slides to the second stop. The pusher block moves the first stop towards the slide, and the embedding box gradually detaches from the slide. When the first stop completely overlaps with the slide, the embedding box is completely pushed out of the slide and enters the loading track.

[0032] 2. By incorporating a filtration mechanism inside the housing, dust and irritating odors generated during laser marking can be filtered out. During laser marking of the embedding cassette, the first fan activates, creating negative pressure inside the dust filter. Dust and odors are forced into the dust filter, where the dust is filtered out. The odors pass through the dust filter and enter the gas filter, where they are purified and absorbed. This filtration mechanism improves the environmental friendliness of the embedding cassette marking machine.

[0033] 3. A heat dissipation mechanism is installed inside the housing to dissipate heat from the internal heat-generating components. The first air inlet, second air inlet, and first air outlet form a first heat dissipation duct, through which heat generated by the display control screen and power supply components is exhausted. The third air inlet and second air outlet form a second heat dissipation duct, through which heat generated by the laser is exhausted. This dual-duct heat dissipation system improves the heat dissipation effect of the embedding box marking machine. Attached Figure Description

[0041] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0042] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the first overall structure of an embodiment of this application is shown. An embodiment of this application provides an embedding cassette marking machine, including a base plate 10, a frame 20, and a housing 30. The frame 20 is disposed on the base plate 10, and the frame 20 and the base plate 10 provide a mounting base. The housing 30 is disposed on the frame 20 and can protect the internal structure of the embedding cassette marking machine. A feeding mechanism 40 disposed inside the housing 30 conveys the embedding cassettes to the underside of a laser marking mechanism 50, which laser-marks the embedding cassettes. Then, a discharging mechanism 60 pushes out the marked embedding cassettes for the user to pick up.

[0043] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the feeding and loading mechanism in one embodiment of this application is shown. The feeding mechanism 40 includes a conveying component 41, a loading component 42, and a slide assembly 43. Specifically, the conveying component 41 is disposed on the frame 20 and corresponds to the loading component 42 to push the embedding cassette in the loading component 42 to move. The slide assembly 43 is disposed on the corresponding side of the loading component 42 that is relatively far away from the conveying component 41. The conveying component 41 pushes the embedding cassette of the loading component 42 to move into the slide assembly 43.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding assembly 42 includes a feeding box 421 and a transition plate 422. The transition plate 422 is located on the side of the feeding box 421 that is relatively far from the conveying assembly 41. The side of the transition plate 422 that is relatively far from the feeding box 421 corresponds to the inlet 4311 of the slide 431. An embedding box pressing block 423 is provided inside the feeding box 421. The embedding box is lightweight, and the embedding box pressing block 423 can tightly press the embedding box inside the feeding box 421, so that the conveying assembly 41 can more accurately dock with the embedding box to push the embedding box to move in the direction toward the transition plate 422. After the embedding box is pushed out of the feeding box 421, it first passes through the transition plate 422 and then enters the slide 431 to prevent the embedding box from getting stuck during movement, making the embedding box feeding process smoother and improving the smoothness of feeding.

[0045] The slide assembly 43 includes a slide 431. Specifically, the slide 431 corresponds to the feeding assembly 42, and there is a certain distance between the highest and lowest points of the slide 431. The conveying assembly 41 pushes the embedding box in the feeding assembly 42 from the inlet 4311 of the slide 431 to the highest point of the slide 431. Under the action of gravity, the embedding box slides along the slide 431 to the lowest point of the slide 431.

[0046] A first stop 44 and a second stop are provided at the end of the slide 431 that is relatively close to the ground. Specifically, the first stop 44 is connected to the discharge mechanism 60. The first stop 44 can move back and forth along the direction away from or towards the slide 431 under the drive of the discharge mechanism 60. The second stop is located at the lowest point of the slide 431, and the first stop 44 is located at a position on the slide 431 that is higher than the second stop. The first stop 44 and the second stop correspond to the outlet 4312 of the slide 431.

[0047] The embedding cassette slides down from the highest point of the slide 431, first reaching the first stop 44. The first stop 44 stops the embedding cassette, and the laser marking mechanism 50 marks the embedding cassette. After the embedding cassette is marked, the discharge mechanism 60 moves the first stop 44 away from the slide 431 until the first stop 44 is no longer aligned with the slide 431, and the embedding cassette slides to the second stop. At this time, the discharge mechanism 60 moves the first stop 44 in the direction of the slide 431, the first stop 44 abuts against the embedding cassette and pushes the embedding cassette away from the slide 431 until the embedding cassette is completely detached from the slide 431.

[0048] See Figure 1 ,and Figure 3 , Figure 3A schematic diagram of the second overall structure in one embodiment of this application is shown. The laser marking mechanism 50 includes a marking machine and a laser 52. The marking machine and the laser 52 are electrically connected. When the laser 52 is activated, the marking machine can perform laser marking. The marking machine is positioned above the first stop 44 and can mark the embedding boxes accordingly.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, a fan 53 is installed inside the laser 52. When the laser 52 is working, the fan 53 also works synchronously to dissipate heat from the laser 52. When the fan 53 is working, the third air inlet 93 and the second air outlet 95 form convection. Air enters the housing 30 from the third air inlet 93, passes through the laser 52 and carries away the heat, and is discharged from the second air outlet 95. The material discharge mechanism 60 includes a push-out component and a material loading track 62. Specifically, the push-out component includes a pusher block 611, which is tractively connected to the first stop block 44. The pusher block 611 can drive the first stop block 44 to move back and forth in a direction toward or away from the slide 431. The material loading track 62 is located on the side of the slide 431 that is relatively away from the pusher block 611 and corresponds to the outlet 4312 of the slide 431. The pusher block 611 can drive the first stop block 44 to push the embedding box toward the outlet 4312 of the slide 431. The embedding box gradually separates from the slide 431 and gradually overlaps with the loading track 62. When the embedding box completely separates from the slide 431, it also completely overlaps with the loading track 62.

[0050] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the filter mechanism 70 in one embodiment of this application is shown. The embedding cassette marking machine also includes a filter mechanism 70 for filtering dust and gas. Specifically, the filter mechanism 70 includes a dust filter element 71, a gas filter element 72, and a first fan 73. When the laser marking mechanism 50 marks the embedding cassettes, it generates dust and irritating odor gases. Therefore, a through hole 74 is opened on the slide 431, overlapping the orthographic projection of the marking element 51. The dust filter element 71 is connected to the through hole 74. The dust filter element 71 is a hollow box body, and the interior is lined with asphalt wool capable of filtering dust. The dust and irritating odor gases generated after marking the embedding cassettes enter the dust filter element 71 through the through hole 74. The dust is filtered into the dust filter element 71, while the gas can pass through the asphalt wool inside the dust filter element 71.

[0051] The first fan 73 is connected to the dust filter element 71 and is located on the side of the dust filter element 71 that is relatively far away from the through hole 74. After the first fan 73 is started, a negative pressure is generated inside the dust filter element 71, which adsorbs dust and gas into the dust filter element 71.

[0052] The gas filter element 72 is connected to the dust filter element 71. Gas passes through the paraffin wool inside the dust filter element 71 and is then transported to the gas filter element 72 by a fan. The gas filter element 72 is a hollow, sealed box containing activated carbon, which adsorbs and purifies gases with irritating odors. As the gas enters the gas filter element 72, the activated carbon purifies it, improving the environmental friendliness of the embedding box marking process.

[0053] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of the first appearance in one embodiment of this application is shown. The embedding cassette marking machine also includes a display mechanism 80. Specifically, the display mechanism 80 includes a display control screen 81 and a power supply component 82. The display control screen 81 is electrically connected to the power supply component 82. After the display control screen 81 is connected to the power supply component 82, the user can set the number of embedding cassettes to be marked through the display control screen 81. This simplifies the user's process of using the embedding cassette marking machine, facilitates user operation, and provides great convenience to the user.

[0054] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of the second appearance in one embodiment of this application is shown. The embedding box marking machine also includes a heat dissipation mechanism 90. Specifically, the heat dissipation mechanism 90 includes a first air inlet 91, a second air inlet 92, a third air inlet 93, a first air outlet 94, a second air outlet 95, and a second fan 96. The first air inlet 91 is located on the side of the housing 30 near the display control screen 81, the second air inlet 92 is located on the side of the housing 30 near the power supply assembly 82, and the second fan 96 is disposed on the first air outlet 94. When the second fan 96 is activated, it draws air out of the housing 30, creating a negative pressure inside the housing 30.

[0055] Air enters the housing 30 through the first air inlet 91, passes through the screen control panel and carries away the heat it generates, which is then discharged through the first air outlet 94. Simultaneously, air enters the housing 30 through the second air inlet 92, passes through the power supply assembly 82 and carries away the heat it generates, which is also discharged through the first air outlet 94. The first air inlet 91, the second air inlet 92, and the first air outlet 94 form a first heat dissipation duct. The heat generated by the laser 52 is discharged through the second air outlet 95 via convection between the third air inlet 93 and the second air outlet 95.

[0056] The housing 30 includes a maintenance door 31. Specifically, the maintenance door 31 is detachably mounted on the housing 30 and is located near the slide assembly 43. The user can open the maintenance door 31 to inspect and maintain the interior of the embedding box marking machine. When the dust filter 71 becomes clogged, the user can open the maintenance door 31 to replace or clean the dust filter 71 to prevent it from becoming clogged and the filtration mechanism 70 from malfunctioning.

[0057] A method for operating an embedding box marking machine includes the following steps:

[0058] A baffle is provided, which is movably disposed at the outlet 4312 of the slide 431. The first stop 44 gradually overlaps with the slide 431 under the action of the pusher block 611. The baffle rises to block the outlet 4312 of the slide 431. The conveying component 41 pushes the embedding box in the feeding component 42 to move onto the slide component 43. The embedding box slides down onto the first stop 44 on the slide 431.

[0059] Marking component 51 performs laser marking on the embedding box;

[0060] The baffle descends to open the outlet 4312 of the slide 431, and the pusher block 611 drives the first stop block 44 to move away from the slide 431.

[0061] Once the embedding box slides down to the second stop, the pusher block 611 drives the first stop block 44 to move along the direction close to the slide 431, and pushes the embedding box from the outlet 4312 of the slide 431 into the loading track 62.

[0062] In the laser marking process for multiple embedding cassettes, the first fan 73 starts, and the dust filter 71 filters dust. If the speed of the first fan 73 decreases, it indicates that the dust filter 71 is clogged. The second fan 96 starts, and the heat from the display control panel 81 and the power supply assembly 82 is exhausted from the first air outlet 94. The fan 53 starts, and the heat from the laser 52 is exhausted from the second air outlet 95. A maintenance door sensor 32 is installed on the inside of the maintenance door 31. If the maintenance door 31 detaches from the housing 30, the embedding cassette marking machine stops operating. If the maintenance door 31 is installed on the housing 30, the embedding cassette marking machine can operate normally. This design improves safety by preventing maintenance personnel from detaching the maintenance door 31 from the housing 30 when the embedding cassette marking machine starts.

[0063] The implementation principle of the embedding cassette marking machine and operating method provided in this application is as follows: By setting a conveying component 41 corresponding to the feeding component 42, the conveying component 41 can push the embedding cassette in the feeding component 42 to move onto the slide rail 431. The embedding cassette slides down onto the slide rail 431 to the first stop 44, at which time the marking machine performs laser marking on the embedding cassette. After the embedding cassette is laser marked, the pusher block 611 drives the first stop 44 to move away from the slide rail 431 until it is completely separated from the slide rail 431, and the embedding cassette slides down to the second stop. The pusher block 611 drives the first stop 44 to move towards the slide rail 431, and the embedding cassette gradually detaches from the slide rail 431. When the first stop 44 completely overlaps with the slide rail 431, the embedding cassette is completely pushed out of the slide rail 431 and enters the loading track 62.
