[0027] In the present invention, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an automatic wax repair machine is provided, comprising: a loading bin assembly, comprising a loading bin frame 1, the loading bin frame 1 is provided with a plurality of box storage positions 2 for placing embedding boxes 6 at intervals on the vertical surface, the loading bin frame 1 can vertically clamp the embedding boxes 6 at the box storage positions 2, and the embedding boxes 6 can extend outward from the loading bin frame 1 in a direction perpendicular to the vertical surface; a side scraper 3 assembly, comprising two side scrapers 3 respectively arranged on both sides of the loading bin frame 1; a box taking assembly, the box taking assembly comprises a push rod 30 arranged on one side of the loading bin frame 1, and a box receiving bin arranged on the other side of the loading bin frame 1, the box receiving bin having a through groove for the embedding boxes 6 to pass through, and the top wall and the bottom wall of the through groove can be positioned and abutted against the embedding boxes 6, the push rod 30 can push the embedding boxes 6 from the box storage positions 2 into the through groove, and the box receiving bin faces the side of the loading bin frame at the corresponding side of the embedding boxes A wax scraping portion is provided at the top and bottom of the embedding box 6, respectively. The box receiving bin includes a wax trimming section 4, and the wax trimming section 4 is provided with a notch on a side corresponding to the wax block 601 for the wax block 601 to extend out; a wax trimming knife 5 assembly, including a wax trimming knife 5 arranged at the lower side of the wax trimming section 4; a material receiving bin assembly, arranged at a side of the box receiving bin away from the loading bin rack 1, and the material receiving bin assembly can receive the embedding box 6 moved out of the box receiving bin; wherein the side scraper 3 and the loading bin rack 1 are arranged to be able to move relative to each other in a vertical plane so that the side scraper 3 can scrape off the wax on the side of the embedding box 6; the loading bin rack 1 and the box taking assembly are arranged to be able to move relative to each other in a vertical plane so that the push rod 30 can correspond to different box storage positions 2; the wax trimming section 4 and the wax trimming knife are arranged to be able to move up and down relatively, so that the wax trimming knife can cut off the wax block 601 of the embedding box 6 at the position of the wax trimming section 4.

[0028] When the automatic wax trimming machine of the present invention is used, the embedding box 6 can be placed in the box storage position 2 of the loading bin rack 1, and the side scraper 3 and the loading bin rack 1 can be relatively moved in the vertical plane so that the side scraper 3 can scrape off the residual wax on the side of the embedding box 6, so that the residual wax on the side of multiple embedding boxes 6 can be removed at one time. After the push rod 30 and the loading bin rack 1 move relatively to correspond to different box storage positions 2, the embedding box 6 at the corresponding position can be pushed into the through groove of the box receiving bin by the push rod 30. During the process of the embedding box 6 entering the box receiving bin, the residual wax on the top and bottom of the embedding box 6 can be scraped off by the wax scraping part, so that the wax scraping on the edge of the embedding box 6 can be completed. After the embedding box 6 is pushed into the wax trimming section 4, the wax block 601 of the embedding box 6 extends out from the notch of the wax trimming section 4. At this time, the wax trimming operation of the wax block 601 can be completed by moving the wax trimming section 4 and the wax trimming knife 5 up and down relatively. The embedded cassette 6 after wax trimming can be moved from the wax trimming section 4 to the material receiving bin assembly by a dedicated moving component (the manipulator 12 in the illustrated embodiment, or the ejector rod 30, or the cassette pushing rod).

[0029] The automatic wax repairing machine of the present invention can use the loading bin rack 1 to place multiple embedding boxes 6 at one time, and there is no need for personnel to operate one by one during the wax repair process. The present invention utilizes the relative movement of the loading bin rack 1 and the side scraper 3 to remove the residual wax from the sides of multiple embedding boxes 6 at one time, thereby improving the efficiency of wax repair. The present invention completes the removal of residual wax at the top and bottom of the embedding box 6 during the process of moving the embedding box 6 from the box storage position 2 to the wax repair section 4, further improving the efficiency of wax repair. More importantly, after the present invention places the embedding box 6 at the wax repair section 4 position through the box storage bin, the wax repair operation of the wax block 601 can be completed by the relative movement of the wax repair section 4 and the wax repair knife 5, thereby forming a coherent and complete wax repair operation.

[0030] It should be noted that, in the illustrated embodiment, the wax trimming section 4 and the guide section 7 of the box receiving bin are arranged as separate structures, and the guide section 7 is fixed to the frame, and the wax trimming section 4 is arranged to be movable. This is not a limitation of the present invention. In an optional embodiment, the wax trimming section 4 and the guide section 7 of the box receiving bin can also be connected and arranged as an integral whole.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, further specifically, the loading bin assembly includes a first driving member that drives the loading bin frame 1 to move in the vertical plane; the box bin includes a guide section 7 arranged on the frame of the wax repair machine, and the guide section 7 is arranged on the side of the wax repair section 4 facing the loading bin frame 1; the wax repair machine also includes a second driving member that drives the wax repair section 4 to move up and down.

[0032] As shown in the figure, the present invention arranges the loading bin rack 1 to be movable in the vertical plane, so that different box storage positions 2 can be moved to correspond to the position of the guide section 7, and the side scraper 3 can remove the residual wax on the side of the embedding box 6 at the same time.

[0033] In the illustrated embodiment, the box receiving chamber is divided into two parts, the guide section 7 is configured to be fixed to the guide section 7 of the frame, and the wax repair section 4 is configured to be movable up and down, so that the position of the push rod 30 and the guide section 7 can be fixed, and then the position accuracy of the push rod 30 pushing the embedding box 6 can be conveniently controlled. When the embedding box 6 of the guide section 7 needs to be pushed into the wax repair section 4, it is only necessary to move the wax repair section 4 until it is aligned with the guide section 7.

[0034] In the illustrated embodiment, the guide section is also provided with a refrigeration element (including a heat sink connected to the guide section and a fan coordinated with the heat sink) to cool the embedding box in the guide section, so that the wax block is further solidified to improve the quality of the wax block during the wax repair operation.

[0035] In the illustrated embodiment, as shown in the figure, the first driving member includes a vertical screw slider structure 21 and a transverse belt moving structure 22, the loading bin frame 1 is connected to the slider of the vertical screw slider structure 21, the vertical screw slider structure 21 is connected to the belt of the transverse belt moving structure 22, and the vertical screw slider structure 21 is moved transversely through the transverse belt moving structure 22. This is not a limitation of the present invention. In alternative embodiments, the loading bin frame 1 can also be moved in the vertical plane in other ways, such as a gear rack two-coordinate moving mechanism, or a belt moving mechanism. This part is a common two-coordinate moving method in the mechanical field, and will not be repeated again.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, more specifically, the side scraper 3 extends obliquely downward. As shown in the figure, by arranging the side scraper 3 to extend obliquely downward outward, the scraped wax scraps can be guided to be discharged to the outside and lower side of the embedding box 6.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, more specifically, the side scraper 3 is configured to be retractable, and / or, the side scraper 3 is configured to be rotatable, so that the side scraper 3 can approach or move away from the side of the embedding box 6.

[0038] In this way, when there is no need to scrape wax from the embedding box 6, the side scraper 3 can be adjusted to have a certain gap with the storage position of the embedding box 6, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the box storage position 2. When the side scraper 3 is needed to scrape wax, the position of the embedding box 6 to be processed can be moved to the position of the side scraper 3 in advance, and the side scraper 3 can be adjusted toward the embedding box 6, so that the side scrapers 3 on both sides of the embedding box 6 first push the embedding box 6 so that the embedding box 6 is roughly in the center position of the two side scrapers 3, and then the side hanging knife is moved away from the upper bin rack 1, and after the box storage position 2 is moved as a whole to the lower side of the side scraper 3, the side scraper 3 is moved toward the upper bin rack 1. At this time, by moving the upper bin rack 1 upward, the residual wax on the side of the embedding box 6 can be scraped downward by the side scraper 3.

[0039] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, more specifically, the side scraper 3 is connected to the frame of the wax trimmer through the first electric push rod 8. As shown in the figure, the side scraper 3 can be driven by the first electric push rod 8 to move toward or away from the loading bin frame 1.

[0040] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, to be more specific, the side scraper 3 includes a knife seat 301, an upper knife plate 302 and a lower knife plate 303 vertically spaced apart on the knife seat 301, the lower knife plate 303 is connected to the knife seat 301 via a first elastic block 304, and the edge of the lower knife plate 303 protrudes outward from the upper knife plate 302 when the first elastic block is in a natural state.

[0041] As shown in the figure, in the process of the side scraper 3 moving downward from the upper side of the embedding box 6 relative to the embedding box 6, the lower blade 303 first abuts against the side of the embedding box 6, and the elastic force of the first elastic block 304 can be used to gradually tilt the lower blade 303 against the side position of the embedding box 6. At this time, the lower blades 303 on both sides of the embedding box 6 can push the embedding box 6 roughly to the middle position of the two side scrapers 3, and the lower blade 303 can also scrape the residual wax on the side of the embedding box 6. When the upper blade 302 moves to the side position of the embedding box 6, the upper blade 302 directly connected to the blade holder 301 has better shape stability, so that the upper blade 302 can scrape the residual wax on the side of the embedding box 6. By setting it in this way, the effect of scraping wax on the side of the embedding box 6 can be further improved. The first elastic block 304 is preferably a rubber elastic block.

[0042] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, more specifically, the wax scraping portion includes a wax scraping inclined plate 9 disposed on the guide section 7, and the wax scraping inclined plate 9 protrudes outward from the guide section 7. As shown in the figure, by disposing the wax scraping inclined plate 9 on the outer side of the guide section 7, the wax scraps scraped by the wax scraping inclined plate 9 can be conveniently discharged.

[0044] As shown in the figure, when the embedding box 6 enters between the upper and lower wax scraping parts, the deformation ability of the second elastic block 10 can be used to make the embedding box 6 easy to enter, and the elastic force of the second elastic block is used to urge the wax scraping inclined plate 9 to maintain contact with the embedding box 6, so as to further improve the wax scraping effect. As shown in the figure, by providing the guide groove section 11, the embedding box 6 can be easily pushed into the inner side of the through groove, and the embedding box 6 can be vertically positioned and abutted by the top wall and the bottom wall of the through groove after moving through the guide groove section 11, so as to further accurately control the vertical position of the embedding box 6.

[0045] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, to be further specific, the material receiving bin assembly includes a material receiving bin frame, a manipulator 12 arranged on the upper side of the material receiving bin frame, and a third driving member 13 that drives the manipulator 12 to move. The material receiving bin frame is provided with a plurality of box receiving stations 14 at intervals in a transverse plane.

The code reader can be used to read the identity information of the embedding box 6 to identify the embedding box 6 corresponding to the slice during the slicing process, and the embedding box 6 can also be conveniently placed in the corresponding box receiving station 14 by the robot 12.

[0048] In the illustrated embodiment, the gripping structure of the manipulator 12 and the moving structure of the manipulator 12 are further specifically described as two-claw manipulators 12, which can be inserted from the open side of the slicing bin and clamped and fixed on both sides of the embedding cassette 6, firstly drag the embedding cassette 6 out in a horizontal motion, and then move the embedding cassette 6 to the receiving bin position. The moving structure of the embedding cassette 6 is provided with a planar track system on the upper side of the receiving bin frame, which is a common moving structure in the art and will not be described in detail here.

The driving motor 19 can realize the process of gradually accelerating the vertical movement speed of the mounting frame 15 from a slow speed and then decelerating to a slow speed while maintaining a uniform rotation state. The wax trimming knife 5 cuts in at a low speed to reduce the impact on the wax block 601. During the gradual separation of the wax trimming knife 5 and the wax block 601, the damage to the cut surface is reduced by separating at a low speed. 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.

[0051] In the structure of the present invention, a belt moving structure is used to drive the top rod 30, but this is not a limitation of the present invention. In optional embodiments, other forms may be used, such as an electric push rod.
