Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pathological sample storage, and in particular to an automatic storage device for pathological samples. Background Art

[0002] Pathological samples are tissues or cells extracted from patients for disease diagnosis and research. Pathological samples are generally stored in sampling tubes. The bottom of the sampling tube is spherical and the opening of the sampling tube is sealed with a tube cap. Multiple sampling tubes containing pathological samples are placed in a constant temperature cabinet for storage. The constant temperature cabinet can control the temperature inside it, which is convenient for maintaining the activity of pathological samples, preventing deterioration, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of subsequent analysis.

[0003] However, when the staff takes out a single sampling tube to study and analyze the required pathological sample, they first need to open the door of the thermostatic cabinet and then find the corresponding sampling tube from many sampling tubes. In this process, not only is the door opened, but the time to find the required sampling tube will also increase the time the door is opened. Then the internal temperature of the thermostatic cabinet will be affected by the external environment, and the pathological sample will also have a certain temperature change, which will increase the risk of pathological sample deterioration, especially for pathological samples that are sensitive to temperature.

A sealing component is provided between the square groove 38 and the cabinet 1. The pick-and-place box 2 is fixedly connected to the front end of the cabinet 1 corresponding to the square groove 38.

[0032] The driving mechanism includes a motor 35, a support column 36 and two gears 11. The two gears 11 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the toothed belt 8, and the two gears 11 are meshed with the tooth surface of the toothed belt 8. The upper and lower ends of the two gears 11 are fixedly connected to the limit plates 10.

[0033] Specifically, when the motor 35 is started, a limit plate 10 connected to the output shaft of the motor 35 will rotate accordingly, and the limit plate 10 can drive a gear 11 connected to it to rotate, and the limit plate 10 connected to the upper end of the gear 11 will also rotate accordingly, then the toothed belt 8 meshing with the gear 11 will rotate, and the toothed belt 8 will also drive another gear 11 to rotate, and the limit plate 10 connected to the upper and lower ends of the other gear 11 will also rotate accordingly, and of the two limit plates 10, the limit plate 10 located at the bottom will rotate at the upper end of the support column 36.

[0035] Specifically, the oval frame 13 can further support the sampling tube 14 to prevent the sampling tube 14 from moving downward during the movement.

[0036] The clamping assembly includes a support block 28, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the square frame 31. Both side walls of the support block 28 are fixedly connected with L-shaped blocks 29. The inner walls of the two L-shaped blocks 29 away from the support block 28 are slidably interspersed with connecting columns 30. The corresponding ends of the two connecting columns 30 are fixedly connected with V-shaped clamping blocks 15. The sampling tube 14 is fitted between the two V-shaped clamping blocks 15. The two V-shaped clamping blocks 15 are respectively fixedly connected with springs 234 between the two L-shaped blocks 29. The two springs 234 are respectively slidably sleeved on the outer walls of the two connecting columns 30. The bottom of the outer walls of the two connecting columns 30 away from the V-shaped clamping blocks 15 is provided with a gear assembly.

[0037] The shift assembly includes a Z-shaped frame 33, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the connecting column 30 away from the V-shaped clamping block 15. The lower end of the Z-shaped frame 33 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 16, and the end of the connecting plate 16 away from the Z-shaped frame 33 is fixedly connected to an inclined block 17.

[0038] Working principle: the cabinet 1 is a constant temperature cabinet. Before the cabinet 1 is started, the sampling tube 14 containing the pathological sample is stored first, the glass cabinet door 4 is opened and the two adjacent V-shaped clamps 15 are first opened by fingers. Each V-shaped clamp 15 will drive the connecting column 30 connected to it to slide in the corresponding L-shaped block 29 and squeeze the corresponding spring 2 34. Then, after the distance between the two adjacent V-shaped clamps 15 is increased, a sampling tube 14 can be inserted from top to bottom between the two V-shaped clamps 15, and the bottom of the sampling tube 14 contacts the upper end of the oval frame 13. Then, the two V-shaped clamps 15 are released. Under the action of the spring 2 34, the two V-shaped clamps 15 will move closer to each other to clamp the sampling tube 14. It should be noted that the toothed belt 8 can be driven to rotate by the driving mechanism, and the toothed belt 8 will drive the multiple square frames 31 to rotate, and each square frame 31 will drive the respective connected support block 28, two L-shaped blocks 29, two connecting columns 30, two springs 34 and two V-shaped clamping blocks 15 to rotate together, so that the two V-shaped clamping blocks 15 at each location can be rotated to face the staff, so that other sampling tubes 14 can be clamped between other adjacent two V-shaped clamping blocks 15 according to the same steps and operations, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0039] Then close the glass cabinet door 4 and open the cabinet 1, so that the temperature inside the cabinet 1 can be controlled. If a required sampling tube 14 needs to be taken out later, first drive the toothed belt 8 to rotate through the driving mechanism to drive multiple sampling tubes 14 to rotate. The position of the required sampling tube 14 can be observed through the glass cabinet door 4 until the required sampling tube 14 corresponds to the pick-and-place box 2. Then start the electric push rod 7, the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 7 can be extended, and then the sealing plate 20 can be driven to slide outward in the slot 37 through the L-shaped plate 6, so that the square slot 38 originally sealed by the sealing plate 20 can be opened, and then start the electric slide 9. The electric slide 9 can drive the two-way slide 18 to move in the direction of the square slot 38, and the two-way slide 18 can drive the two splints 19, two L-shaped push blocks 24, two square blocks 21, two fixed blocks 26, two guide pillars 27, two springs 25 and the extrusion rod 23 to move together, and the extrusion rod 23 will pass through The square groove 38 will contact the outer wall of the sampling tube 14, and the ends of the two L-shaped push blocks 24 will move to fit with the corresponding inclined blocks 17 respectively, and each L-shaped push block 24 will squeeze and push the inclined block 17 to move away from the sampling tube 14, and each inclined block 17 will drive the connecting plate 16 to move away from the sampling tube 14, and each connecting plate 16 will also drive the connecting column 30 to slide away from the sampling tube 14 in the corresponding L-shaped block 29 through the Z-shaped frame 33, then the two V-shaped clamping blocks 15 will move away from each other and gradually leave the sampling tube 14 (the spring 2 34 will be squeezed), and then the two L-shaped push blocks 24 will move to fit with the two connecting plates 16 respectively, then the two V-shaped clamping blocks 15 will move away from each other to the maximum distance, and at this time the two clamping plates 19 will move to both sides of the sampling tube 14. It should be noted that after the squeezing rod 23 comes into contact with the outer wall of the sampling tube 14, as the two clamping plates 19 continue to move, each clamping plate 19 will drive the fixing block 26 to slide outside the corresponding guide column 27 and squeeze the spring 1 25. Under the limiting action of the squeezing rod 23 and the arc frame 32, the sampling tube 14 can be prevented from tipping over after the two V-shaped clamping blocks 15 release the sampling tube 14.

[0040] Then, the two-way slide 18 is started, and the two workbenches of the two-way slide 18 will move closer to each other, which will drive the two clamping plates 19 to move closer to each other until the sampling tube 14 is clamped (it should be noted that when the two clamping plates 19 move closer to each other, they will also drive the L-shaped push blocks 24 connected to each other to move together. Then, under the action of the second spring 34, the two V-shaped clamping blocks 15, the two connecting columns 30, the two Z-shaped frames 33, the two connecting plates 16 and the two inclined blocks 17 will move closer to each other by a short distance, and the two connecting plates 16 will always keep in contact with the two L-shaped push blocks 24 respectively). Then, the electric slide 9 drives the two-way slide 18 to move away from the square groove 38, so the two clamping plates 19 and the sampling tube 14 will move closer to each other. When moving together, the L-shaped push blocks 24 on the two clamping plates 19 will first slide and fit with the wall of the corresponding connecting plate 16 until the two clamping plates 19 drive the L-shaped push blocks 24 connected to each other to move to the corresponding inclined blocks 17, and then as the two clamping plates 19 drive the L-shaped push blocks 24 connected to each other to continue to move, then under the action of the spring 2 34, the two V-shaped clamping blocks 15, the two connecting columns 30, the two Z-shaped frames 33, the two connecting plates 16 and the two inclined blocks 17 will continue to move closer to each other until the two L-shaped push blocks 24 leave the two inclined blocks 17 respectively, then the two V-shaped clamping blocks 15, the two connecting columns 30, the two Z-shaped frames 33, the two connecting plates 16 and the two inclined blocks 17 will move closer to each other to the maximum distance. In this process, the sampling tube 14 will leave between the two V-shaped clamping blocks 15 and will not be hindered by the two V-shaped clamping blocks 15, and in this process, the extrusion rod 23 will always keep in contact with the sampling tube 14.

[0041] Then, as the two-way slide 18 continues to move in the direction away from the square groove 38, the two clamps 19 will carry the sampling tube 14 through the square groove 38 and come into the pick-and-place box 2, and then the telescopic axis of the electric push rod 7 will be shortened inward, which will drive the sealing plate 20 to seal the square groove 38. Finally, the staff will open the box cover 3 and hold the sampling tube 14 tightly with their hands, and then use the two-way slide 18 to drive the two clamps 19 to move away from each other to remove the sampling tube 14. Then, under the action of spring 1 25, the two blocks 21 will slide in the direction of the square groove 38 at the upper ends of their corresponding connecting plates 16, and drive the corresponding guide column 27 to slide in the corresponding fixed block 26, and drive the extrusion rod 23 to move together for reset.

[0042] On the contrary, when putting back the sampling tube 14 containing the pathological sample, the box cover 3 is opened and the squeezing rod 23 is manually pushed in the direction away from the square groove 38, the squeezing rod 23 will drive the two blocks 21 to slide outside the corresponding guide column 27 and squeeze the spring 1 25, and then the sampling tube 14 is placed between the two clamps 19 and fits with the wall surface of the square groove 38 corresponding to the squeezing rod 23, and then the two-way slide 18 is used to drive the two clamps 19 to move closer to each other until the sampling tube 14 is clamped, and then the box cover 3 is closed, and then the electric push rod 7 is used to drive the sealing plate 20 to move to open the square groove 38, and then the electric slide 9 is used to drive the two-way slide 18, the two clamps 19, the two L-shaped push blocks 24, the two blocks 21, the two fixed blocks 26, the squeezing rod 23 and the two limit blocks 22 to move together in the direction. The two adjacent V-shaped clamps 15 will move in the direction of the groove 38. Similarly, the corresponding two adjacent V-shaped clamps 15 will move away from each other, and the sampling tube 14 will move to be between the two V-shaped clamps 15 and fit with the inner arc surface of the arc frame 32. Subsequently, the two-way slide 18 drives the two clamps 19 to move away from each other to loosen the sampling tube 14, and the electric slide 9 drives the two-way slide 18 and the two clamps 19 to move back. At this time, the extrusion rod 23 still presses the sampling tube 14 against the inner arc surface of the arc frame 32 until the two L-shaped push blocks 24 leave their respective inclined blocks 17 and the two clamps 19 also leave the two sides of the sampling tube 14. Then, under the action of the spring 2 34, the two V-shaped clamps 15 will clamp the sampling tube 14 again, and finally the electric push rod 7 drives the sealing slot plate 20 to move to close the square groove 38.

[0043] It should be noted that when the two splints 19 move toward each other and drive the two blocks 21 to move toward each other, the two blocks 21 will also slide toward each other on the outer wall of the extrusion rod 23. The distance that the two splints 19 and the two blocks 21 move toward each other is relatively short, and the two ends of the extrusion rod 23 are connected to the limiting blocks 22. Firstly, the extrusion rod 23 will not slide out of the two blocks 21, and secondly, the extrusion rod 23 can always remain corresponding to the sampling tube 14.

[0044] It should also be noted that when the sampling tube 14 is put back, the sampling tube 14 is placed between the two clamps 19 and fits against the wall of the square groove 38 corresponding to the extrusion rod 23, so that the bottom of the sampling tube 14 fits against the upper end of the electric slide 9, and the upper end of the electric slide 9 is flush with the upper end of the elliptical frame 13. Then, after the sampling tube 14 is put back, the bottom end is still in contact with the upper end of the elliptical frame 13.

[0045] It should also be noted that multiple partitions 5 can be installed on the inner wall of the cabinet 1 from top to bottom, and a corresponding number of picking and placing mechanisms can be set at the front end of the cabinet 1, and a driving mechanism, a toothed belt 8, a positioning mechanism and a supporting mechanism can also be set on the multiple partitions 5, so that more sampling tubes 14 can be stored and automatically picked up and placed.

[0046] In summary, the thermostatic cabinet can easily fix and store multiple sampling tubes 14 containing pathological samples inside while retaining a door that can be opened and closed. When taking out the required sampling tube 14, the sampling tube 14 can be automatically taken out and placed without opening the door. In the process of taking out and placing, the sampling tube 14 can be automatically fixed and released. In the process of taking out and placing, the exchange of the temperature inside the thermostatic cabinet and the outside temperature is avoided as much as possible. The sampling tube 14 is taken out and put back from the inside of the thermostatic cabinet only through a small opening in the square groove 38, thereby greatly reducing the risk of deterioration of the pathological sample.
