[0029] In the present invention, if Figures 1 to 7As shown, a fully automatic slicer is provided, comprising: a loading bin assembly, comprising a loading bin frame 1, wherein the loading bin frame 1 is provided with a plurality of box storage positions 2 for placing embedding boxes 10 at intervals on a vertical surface, wherein the loading bin frame 1 can vertically clamp the embedding boxes 10 at the box storage positions 2, so that the embedding boxes 10 can be moved laterally to the outside of the loading bin frame 1; a wax repair assembly, comprising a wax repair bin 3 arranged on one side of the loading bin frame 1, and a push rod 4 arranged on the other side of the loading bin frame 1, wherein the wax repair bin 3 has a first through slot for the embedding boxes 10 to pass through, and the wax repair bin 3 corresponds to the embedding boxes The wax block 1001 of the wax repair bin 10 is partially opened so that the wax block 1001 of the embedding box 10 can protrude from the outside of the wax repair bin 3, and the push rod 4 is arranged to be movable laterally so that the push rod 4 can push the embedding box 10 of the box storage position 2 into the first through groove; a wax repair knife 5 assembly, including a wax repair knife 5 arranged at the lower side of the wax repair bin 3; a transfer bin assembly, including a transfer bin 6 arranged at a side of the wax repair bin 3 away from the loading bin rack 1, and a first refrigeration component 7 connected to the transfer bin 6, and the transfer bin 6 is provided with a second through groove for the embedding box 10 to pass through; a slicing assembly, including The invention comprises a slicing bin 8 arranged at a side of the transfer bin 6 away from the loading bin rack 1, the slicing bin 8 is provided with a third through slot for the embedding box 10 to pass through, the slicing bin 8 is opened corresponding to the wax block 1001 of the embedding box 10, so that the wax block 1001 of the embedding box 10 can protrude from the outside of the slicing bin 8; a slicing knife 9 assembly, comprising a slicing knife 9 arranged at the lower side of the wax repair bin 3; a receiving bin assembly, arranged at a side of the slicing bin 8 away from the loading bin rack 1, and the receiving bin assembly can receive the embedding box 10 moved out of the slicing bin 8; wherein the loading bin 6 is provided with a third through slot for the embedding box 10 to pass through, and the slicing bin 8 is opened corresponding to the wax block 1001 of the embedding box 10, so that the wax block 1001 of the embedding box 10 can protrude from the outside of the slicing bin 8; The magazine frame 1, the push rod 4 and the wax repair magazine 3 are arranged to be able to move relative to each other in the vertical plane, so that the push rod 4 can push the embedding boxes 10 in different box storage positions 2 into the wax repair magazine 3; the wax repair magazine 3 and the wax repair knife 5 are arranged to be able to move up and down relatively and move relative to each other in the vertical direction of the embedding box 10, so that the wax repair knife 5 can cut off the wax block 1001 of the embedding box 10 in the wax repair magazine 3; the slicing magazine 8 and the slicing knife 9 are arranged to be able to move up and down relatively and move relative to each other in the vertical direction of the embedding box 10, so that the slicing knife 9 can slice the embedding box 10 in the slicing magazine 8.

[0030] When the slicer of the present invention is in use, the embedding box 10 can be placed in the box storage position 2 of the loading bin rack 1, and the push rod 4 and the wax trimming bin 3 correspond to different box storage positions 2, so that the push rod 4 pushes the embedding box 10 into the wax trimming bin 3. The wax block 1001 of the embedding box 10 entering the wax trimming bin 3 protrudes out of the outside of the wax trimming bin 3 and corresponds to the upper side of the wax trimming knife 5. At this time, by relatively adjusting the positions of the wax trimming knife 5 and the embedding box 10 in the vertical direction of the embedding box 10, and then vertically relative to the wax trimming bin 3 and the wax trimming knife 5, the wax trimming of the wax block 1001 can be completed. The wax block 1001 after the wax trimming is pushed into the transfer bin 6 by the push rod 4 or the special box pushing rod 12, and the first refrigeration component 7 can reduce the temperature of the transfer bin 6 to further cool the wax block 1001, so that the shape of the wax block 1001 is stable. When slicing, the embedding cassette 10 can be pushed into the slicing bin 8 by the push rod 4 or the special box push rod 12. At this time, by adjusting the positions of the slicing knife 9 and the embedding cassette 10 relative to each other along the vertical direction of the embedding cassette 10, and then vertically relative to the slicing bin 8 and the wax trimming knife 5, the wax block 1001 can be sliced. The embedded cassette 10 that has completed slicing can be moved from the wax trimming bin to the material receiving bin assembly by a special moving component (the manipulator 26, or the push rod 4, or the box push rod 12 in the illustrated embodiment).

[0031] The slicer of the present invention can automatically and continuously complete the process of wax trimming and slicing of the embedding box 10 without manual operation, which reduces the difficulty of human operation, and can also automatically load the embedding box 10 through the loading bin frame 1 and the top rod 4, and the wax trimming bin 3. After the wax trimming is completed, the embedding box 10 is transferred and moved by the transfer bin 6 and cooled and solidified again, so that the wax block 1001 is more stable during slicing, further improving the quality of the slices.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the structure of the present invention is further optimized in that the automatic slicer further includes an image acquisition unit 11 arranged on one side of the wax repair bin 3, and the image acquisition unit 11 is configured to be able to acquire an image of the wax block 1001 of the embedding box 10 at the position of the wax repair bin 3.

[0033] As shown in the figure, by setting up the image acquisition unit 11, the image of the wax block 1001 can be acquired before wax trimming. For acquiring the image of the wax block 1001, the position of the wax trimming cutting can be manually determined (or the position of the wax trimming cutting can be automatically determined by image recognition technology), so that the wax block 1001 after wax trimming can expose a larger position of the edge contour of the pathological tissue, thereby facilitating the slicing operation and quickly obtaining high-quality pathological slices.

[0034] Among them, for the image recognition collected by the image acquisition unit 11, one embodiment is that the operator observes through the display screen, and then controls the relative position of the wax trimming knife 5 and the wax trimming bin 3 in the direction perpendicular to the embedding box 10 to perform the wax trimming operation. One embodiment is that a processor is used to automatically analyze the obtained image through image recognition technology to determine the position of the maximum position of the edge of the wax block 1001 (wax trimming position) in the wax block 1001, and determine the position of the wax trimming position relative to the wax trimming bin 3, at this time, the position of the wax trimming knife 5 and the wax trimming bin 3 in the direction perpendicular to the embedding box 10 can be automatically adjusted.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, to be further specific, the transfer bin assembly also includes a box pushing rod 12 arranged on one side of the transfer bin 6, and a first driving member 13 that drives the box pushing rod 12 to move laterally, and the transfer bin 6 is provided with a through hole 14 for the box pushing rod 12 to extend into, and the box pushing rod 12 is configured to be foldable so that when the box pushing rod 12 is unfolded, it can push the embedding box 10 to move toward the slicing bin 8, and when the box pushing rod 12 is folded, it can move from the side of the embedding box 10 toward the slicing bin 8 to the side of the embedding box 10 away from the slicing bin 8.

[0036] As shown in the figure, the first driving member 13 is configured as a belt conveying mechanism, and the box pushing rod 12 is connected to the belt of the belt conveying mechanism. In this way, when it is necessary to push the embedding box 10 in the transfer bin 6 toward the slicing bin 8, the box pushing rod 12 can be moved from the right side of the embedding box 10 to the left side of the embedding box 10, and during the movement, the box pushing rod 12 is folded to avoid the embedding box 10, and when the box pushing rod 12 moves to the left side of the embedding box 10, the box pushing rod 12 is unfolded, and at this time, the embedding box 10 can be moved to the slicing bin 8 by moving the box pushing rod 12 to the right.

[0037] Regarding the movement of the embedding cassette 10 in the transfer chamber 6 , in an alternative embodiment, other methods may be used, such as supporting the embedding cassette 10 with a push rod 4 .

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, for the foldable structure of the box push rod 12 in the present invention, more specifically, the box push rod 12 includes a connecting portion 1201 connected to the first driving member 13, a rod body 1202 rotatably disposed on the connecting portion 1201, and an elastic member disposed between the rod body 1202 and the connecting portion 1201.

[0039] As shown in the figure, the connection part 1201 is provided with a limit block on the side facing the transfer bin 6, and the limit block can abut against the rod body 1202 when the rod body 1202 pushes the embedding cassette 10 to move toward the slice bin 8. The rod body 1202 and the connection part 1201 are connected by a rotating shaft, and the elastic member includes a torsion spring arranged between the rod body 1202 and the connection part 1201, and the torsion spring provides a force for the rod body 1202 to rotate toward the limit part.

[0040] As for the folding mode of the box pushing rod 12, in an optional embodiment, the box pushing rod 12 can also be set as an electric push rod.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, to be further specific, the first refrigeration component 7 is arranged on the side of the transfer bin 6 away from the box pushing rod 12, and the first refrigeration component 7 includes a first heat conductive plate 701 connected to the groove wall of the second through groove; the top wall of the second through groove is provided with an upper guide groove 15 that cooperates with the box body of the embedding box 10, and the bottom wall is provided with a lower guide groove 16 that cooperates with the box body of the embedding box 10, and when the embedding box 10 is located in the second through groove, the wax block 1001 is located on the side of the embedding box 10 facing the first refrigeration component 7.

[0042] As shown in the figure, after the embedding box 10 is placed in the second through groove, the wax block 1001 is located close to the second heat conducting plate, so that the second heat conducting plate can quickly cool the wax block 1001. By providing the upper guide groove 15 and the lower guide groove 16, the embedding box 10 can be guided to move accurately in the second through groove.

[0043] In the illustrated embodiment, the first refrigeration element 7 includes a first fan 702 connected to the first heat conducting sheet 701, so that the first fan 702 directly cools the transfer bin 6 through the first heat conducting sheet 701. This is not intended to limit the present invention, and in an optional embodiment, other structural forms may also be selected, such as the first refrigeration element 7 using an existing liquid cooling radiator structure as the first heat conducting sheet 701 for cooling.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, further specifically, the slicer also includes a guide bin 17 arranged between the wax repair bin 3 and the loading bin rack 1, the guide bin 17 has a third through groove for the embedding box 10 to pass through, and the guide bin 17 is connected to a second refrigeration component 18; the top wall and the bottom wall of the third through groove are respectively formed with a wax scraping portion 19 at one end facing the loading bin rack 1.

[0045] As shown in the figure, by providing the guide bin 17, the guide bin 17 can be used to receive and guide the embedding cassette 10 before it enters the wax repair bin 3, and the second refrigeration component 18 of the guide bin 17 can be used to further cool and solidify the wax block 1001, so as to reduce the effect of the softening of the wax block 1001 on the quality of the wax repair. Moreover, by using the provided wax scraping part 19, the residual wax on the top and bottom of the embedding cassette 10 can be scraped off during the process of the embedding cassette 10 entering the transfer bin 6, so as to prevent the residual wax on the top and bottom of the embedding cassette 10 from hindering the embedding cassette 10 from entering the wax repair bin 3.

[0046] In the illustrated embodiment, the structures of the guide bin 17 and the wax scraper 19 are further specifically described, as shown in the figure, the wax scraper 19 includes a rubber block 1901 connected to the guide bin 17 and a wax scraper plate 1902 installed on the rubber block 1901, so that the elastic deformation ability of the rubber block 1901 can be used to cause the wax scraper plate 1902 to keep in contact with the embedding cassette 10 during the process of the embedding cassette 10 entering the guide bin 17, so as to improve the wax scraping effect. At the same time, the deformability of the rubber block 1901 can be used to prevent the embedding cassette 10 from being unable to enter due to insufficient alignment accuracy between the embedding cassette 10 and the wax scraper 19 when the embedding cassette 10 enters between the two wax scrapers 19.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the figure, the structure of the second refrigeration component 18 is consistent with that of the first refrigeration component 7, and the connection method between the second refrigeration component 18 and the guide bin 17 refers to the connection method between the first refrigeration component 7 and the transfer bin 6, which will not be repeated here.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, more specifically, the guide bin 17 and the transfer bin 6 are fixed to the frame 20 of the slicer, and the loading bin frame 1 is configured to be movable along the vertical plane; the wax repair bin 3 and the slicing bin 8 are configured to be movable along the vertical plane.

[0049] As shown in the figure, by fixing the guide bin 17 at a fixed position of the frame 20, the transfer bin 6 can be used to calibrate the position of the embedding cassette 10 taken from the loading bin rack 1, and the corresponding position of the wax repair bin 3 in the vertical direction with the transfer bin 6 can be calibrated.

[0050] Regarding the movement of the loading bin rack 1 in the vertical plane, in the illustrated embodiment, to be more specific, as shown in the figure, the loading bin rack 1 is driven to move by a second driving member, and the second driving member includes a vertical lead screw slider structure 30 and a transverse belt slider structure 31. The loading bin rack 1 is connected to the slider of the vertical lead screw slider structure 30, and the vertical lead screw slider structure 30 is connected to the slider of the transverse belt slider structure 31. The vertical lead screw slider structure 30 realizes transverse movement through the transverse belt slider structure 31. This is not a limitation of the present invention. In alternative embodiments, the movement of the loading bin rack 1 in the vertical plane can also be achieved by other methods, such as a gear rack two-coordinate moving mechanism, or a belt moving mechanism. This part is a two-coordinate moving method commonly used in the mechanical field, and will not be repeated again.

[0051] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, to be further specific, the wax repair bin 3 and the slicing bin 8 are respectively installed on the frame 20 of the slicer through a driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism includes: a mounting frame 21, used to install the wax repair bin 3 or the slicing bin 8, and the mounting frame 21 and the frame 20 are arranged to be movable vertically; a driving assembly, including a transmission rod 22 rotatably connected to the mounting frame 21, a driving rod 23 arranged on the transmission rod 22, a driving disk 24, and a driving motor 25 that drives the driving disk 24 to rotate, and the driving rod 23 is rotatably connected to the driving disk 24.

The driving motor 25 can realize the process of gradually accelerating the vertical movement speed of the mounting frame 21 from slow speed and then decelerating to slow speed while maintaining a uniform rotation state. The wax trimming knife 5 or the slicing knife 9 cuts in at a low speed to reduce the impact on the wax block 1001. During the gradual separation of the wax trimming knife 5 or the slicing knife 9 from the wax block 1001, the damage to the cut surface and the slice is reduced by low-speed separation. The wax cutting process can also have an acceleration stage to increase the wax cutting speed, thereby making it easier for the present invention to control the quality of wax cutting.
