Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a full-automatic wax sealing storage device and a digital storage and filing method. Background Art

[0002] In pathology, it is often necessary to make wax blocks from specimens taken during surgery or biopsy, and then diagnose whether the lesion is cancerous by slicing and staining the wax blocks. Exposing the tissue section to the air after slicing the wax block is not conducive to the preservation of the tissue, especially the preservation of antigens in the tissue. In order to better preserve the tissue, the exposed tissue section can be sealed with liquid wax.

[0003] At present, the method of wax sealing on the cut surface of the wax block is usually to manually add solid paraffin wax on a heating device, and when the paraffin wax melts into liquid, the wax block is held with the cut surface facing down to be waxed and sealed, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0004] Secondly, after the wax blocks are sealed, they still need to be manually stored, usually by manually loading them in a storage box, and recording and archiving them after loading. This method is not convenient enough for sealing batches of wax blocks and is prone to human errors. Summary of the invention

[0080] See also Figures 1 to 9 The structural schematic diagram of the fully automatic sealing wax storage device is shown.

[0081] The embodiment of the present invention provides a fully automatic wax sealing storage device, comprising a bottom plate 1, a first placement seat 2, a heating tank assembly 3, a cooling member 4, a second placement seat 5, a storage box 6, a first motion clamping assembly 7 and a second motion clamping assembly 8;

[0082] The first placement seat 2 is disposed on the bottom plate 1 and is used to place the wax block 10 to be sealed with wax;

[0083] The heating tank assembly 3 is disposed on the bottom plate 1 and is used to place paraffin and heat it to form wax liquid;

[0084] The cooling element 4 is disposed on the bottom plate 1 and is used to provide cooling air;

[0085] The second placement seat 5 is disposed on the bottom plate 1 and is used to place the wax block 10 sealed with wax;

[0086] The storage box 6 can be placed on the bottom plate 1 to store the wax blocks 10 that have been sealed with wax;

[0087] The first moving clamping assembly 7 is disposed on the bottom plate 1 and is used to clamp the wax block 10. The first moving clamping assembly 7 can move between the first placement seat 2, the heating tank assembly 3, the cooling element 4 and the second placement seat 5;

[0088] The second movable clamping assembly 8 is disposed on the bottom plate 1 and is used to clamp the wax block 10 . The second movable clamping assembly 8 can move between the second placement seat 5 and the storage box 6 .

[0089] In this embodiment, it should be explained that the wax block 10 is composed of a plastic part and paraffin wax. The paraffin wax is attached to one side of the plastic part, and the tissue is sealed in the paraffin wax. The side of the paraffin wax facing away from the plastic part is the tissue section that needs to be sealed with wax. This embodiment can clamp the side of the plastic part facing away from the paraffin wax, thereby driving the wax block 10 to move.

[0090] In this embodiment, the wax block 10 to be sealed with wax is placed on the first placement seat 2, the wax block 10 is clamped by the first moving clamping assembly 7 and moved to the heating tank assembly 3 to dip the cut surface of the wax block 10 with wax, and after the wax is dipped, the wax liquid on the cut surface of the wax block 10 is cooled by the cooling member 4 so that the cut surface of the wax block 10 is sealed with wax, and then the sealed wax block 10 is transported to the second placement seat 5; and then the second moving clamping assembly 8 clamps the sealed wax block 10 from the second placement seat 5 and transports it to the storage box 6 for storage. Thus, the whole process of clamping, wax sealing and storage of the wax block 10 is realized, which has the advantages of automatic and efficient wax sealing.

[0091] The first placement seat 2 of this embodiment may be provided with a plurality of grooves for positioning the wax block 10 , and the tissue cut surface of the wax block 10 is placed in the grooves facing downward.

[0092] The first motion clamping assembly 7 of the present application is described in detail below.

[0093] In one embodiment, the first motion clamping assembly 7 includes a first fixing plate 71, an X-direction motion assembly 72, a first Z-direction motion assembly 73 and a first clamping assembly 74;

[0094] The first fixing plate 71 is mounted on the base plate 1 through the pillars 17;

[0095] The X-direction motion assembly 72 is mounted on the first fixed plate 71 and can move horizontally along the X-direction;

[0096] The first Z-direction motion component 73 is mounted on the X-direction motion component 72 and can move vertically along the Z-direction;

[0097] The first clamping assembly 74 is disposed on the first Z-direction moving assembly 73 and is used to clamp the wax block 10;

[0098] The first placement seat 2 , the heating tank assembly 3 , the cooling member 4 and the second placement seat 5 are installed side by side on the bottom plate 1 along the X direction and are located below the X-direction motion assembly 72 .

[0099] In this embodiment, the first fixing plate 71 is a straight plate in a long strip shape. The first fixing plate 71 is installed horizontally along the X direction. The back side of the first fixing plate 71 is installed on the bottom plate 1 through two columns 17. The first fixing plate 71 maintains a certain distance from the bottom plate 1. The X-axis motion component 72 can adopt a motor-screw drive structure, that is, the X-axis motion component 72 can include an X-axis motor 721, an X-axis screw 722, an X-axis slide rail 723 and an X-axis slider (not shown in the drawings), the X-axis slide rail 723 is horizontally installed on the first fixed plate 71 along the X-axis, the X-axis slider slides on the X-axis slide rail 723, the X-axis motor 721 is fixedly installed on the first fixed plate 71 and is located at one end of the X-axis slide rail 723, the X-axis screw 722 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the X-axis motor 721, and the X-axis slider is threadedly connected to the X-axis screw 722; based on this, by driving the X-axis screw 722 to rotate through the X-axis motor 721, the X-axis slider can be driven to move on the X-axis slide rail 723; thereby driving the first Z-axis motion component 73 and the first clamping component 74 to move synchronously in the X-axis direction.

[0100] Furthermore, the first Z-direction motion component 73 is installed on the X-direction slider, and the first Z-direction motion component 73 can adopt an electric cylinder driving structure, that is, the first Z-direction motion component 73 can include a mounting plate 731, an electric cylinder 732, a first slide rail 733 and a first slider (not shown in the figure); the mounting plate 731 is fixedly installed on the X-direction slider of the X-direction motion component 72, the electric cylinder 732 and the first slide rail 733 are vertically installed on the mounting plate 731 along the Z direction, the first slider is slidably installed on the first slide rail 733, and the electric cylinder 732 is connected to the first slider and is used to drive the first slider to move in the vertical direction; thereby driving the first clamping component 74 to move vertically in the Z direction.

[0101] Furthermore, the first clamping assembly 74 is fixedly mounted on the first slider through an adapter plate to achieve movement in the Z direction; the first clamping assembly 74 can adopt a servo electric clamping claw structure, and the front end of the first clamping assembly 74 is provided with two parallel movable clamping claws, which can loosen the wax block 10 by driving the two clamping claws to move closer to and away from each other. Fig.10 As shown, the wax block 10 is clamped in the present embodiment as follows: a notch is provided on the side of the plastic part in the wax block 10 facing away from the paraffin, and the opposite sides of the notch are inclined to each other, that is, the aperture of the notch increases as it goes inward; the opposite sides of the two jaws of the first clamping assembly 74 are slightly protruding; based on this, after the two jaws of the first clamping assembly 74 are extended into the notch, the two jaws can abut against the inclined surfaces on the opposite sides of the notch when they are relatively far away from each other, thereby clamping the wax block 10; conversely, the wax block 10 is released when the two jaws are relatively close to each other.

[0102] Based on the first moving clamping assembly 7 introduced above, the specific wax sealing process is as follows:

[0103] First, the first Z-direction motion component 73 and the first clamping component 74 are driven by the X-direction motion component 72 to move horizontally along the X-direction to above the first placement seat 2 , so that the first clamping component 74 corresponds to the wax block 10 placed on the first placement seat 2 .

[0104] Then, if Figure 3 As shown, the first clamping assembly 74 is driven to move vertically downward along the Z direction by the first Z-direction motion assembly 73, so that the two clamping jaws of the first clamping assembly 74 extend into the recess of the wax block 10, and the two clamping jaws are controlled to move away from each other to achieve the clamping of the wax block 10.

[0105] Then, if Figure 4 As shown, the first Z-direction motion component 73 drives the first clamping component 74 to move vertically upward along the Z-direction, and then the X-direction motion component 72 drives the first Z-direction motion component 73 and the first clamping component 74 to move horizontally along the X-direction to above the heating tank component 3.

[0106] Then, if Figure 5 As shown, the first Z-direction motion component 73 drives the first clamping component 74 to drive the wax block 10 to move vertically downward in the Z direction, so that the tissue section of the wax block 10 extends into the wax liquid in the heating tank component 3 to be dipped in the liquid. After being dipped in the liquid, the first clamping component 74 is driven to drive the wax block 10 to move vertically upward in the Z direction. At this time, after the wax block 10 moves vertically upward in the Z direction (i.e., the same Figure 4 position), the cooling member 4 air-cools the liquid-wetted surface of the wax block 10 to solidify the wax liquid, thereby completing the wax sealing; it should be noted that the cooling member 4 may include a cooling fan and a cooling nozzle, and the cooling air outlet direction of the cooling member 4 is toward the top of the heating tank assembly 3, so that in the process of the wax block 10 moving upward after being dipped in liquid, the liquid-wetted surface of the wax block 10 has been cooled, thereby improving the wax sealing efficiency.

[0107] Finally, if Figure 6 As shown, the wax block 10 after air-cooling and wax sealing continues to be driven horizontally along the X direction to the top of the second placement seat 5 by the X-direction motion component 72, and then driven downward along the Z direction by the first Z-direction motion component 73, and then the wax block 10 is released by the first clamping component 74 and can be placed in the second placement seat 5.

[0108] It should be noted that after the first moving clamping assembly 7 completes the wax sealing of the wax block 10, it is first placed on the second placement seat 5. At this time, the first moving clamping assembly 7 can be reset to the initial position to re-perform the wax sealing of the next wax block 10, and the wax block 10 that has been sealed and placed on the second placement seat 5 is clamped and stored by the second moving clamping assembly 8; in this way, the wax sealing and storage processes can be performed synchronously, which effectively improves the efficiency when large-scale wax sealing work is required.

[0109] The heating tank assembly 3 of the present application is described in detail below.

[0110] In one embodiment, the heating tank assembly 3 comprises:

[0111] The first wax tank 31 is provided with a liquid level detector for detecting the wax liquid level;

[0112] The second wax tank 32 is used to store spare wax liquid;

[0113] The liquid replenishing component 33 is arranged outside the first wax tank 31 and / or the second wax tank 32. The liquid replenishing component 33 is used to extract the spare wax liquid in the second wax tank 32 and replenish it to the first wax tank 31 when the liquid level detector detects that the wax liquid level in the first wax tank 31 is lower than the preset liquid level range.

[0114] In this embodiment, during the wax sealing process of a large number of wax blocks 10, multiple wax dipping operations will cause the wax liquid level in the heating tank assembly 3 to decrease. If the downward movement distance of the wax block 10 during wax dipping is not adjusted, the subsequent wax dipping effect will be affected. To adjust the downward movement distance of the wax block 10 during wax dipping, it is necessary to monitor the wax liquid level in the heating tank assembly 3 in real time, calculate the downward movement distance based on the wax liquid level, and then feed back to the first Z-axis motion assembly 73 to control the downward movement distance. This undoubtedly increases the real-time precision calculation requirements during the wax sealing process, resulting in the wax sealing process being not simple and efficient enough. Based on this situation, the present embodiment optimizes the design of the heating tank assembly 3, and divides the heating tank assembly 3 into a first wax tank 31 and a second wax tank 32. The wax liquid in the first wax tank 31 is used for waxing the wax block 10, and the wax liquid in the second wax tank 32 is used as a spare wax liquid. The spare wax liquid in the second wax tank 32 is replenished into the first wax tank 31 through the liquid replenishing part 33, so that the first wax tank 31 can be maintained in a suitable preset liquid level range. In this way, the downward movement distance of the first Z-direction motion component 73 each time uses the same distance and will not affect the waxing effect, making the waxing process simpler and more efficient.

[0115] More specifically, the liquid replenishing member 33 adopts a liquid pump with a heating function, which can prevent the wax liquid from solidifying in the internal pipeline of the liquid replenishing member 33.

[0116] More specifically, the placement heights of the first placement seat 2 and the second placement seat 5, as well as the position for controlling the wax block 10 to move down to be dipped in wax, can also be set. The three can be designed to be at the same height, that is, the first Z-axis motion component 73 controls the first motion clamping component 7 to move down to the first placement seat 2 to clamp the wax block 10, to move down to the heating tank component 3 to dip the wax block 10 in wax, and to move down to the second placement seat 5 to place the wax block 10, all of which are at the same horizontal height, thereby achieving efficient, stable and simple motion control.

[0117] The second motion clamping assembly 8 of the present application is described in detail below.

[0118] In one embodiment, the second motion clamping assembly 8 comprises:

[0119] The second fixing plate 81 is mounted on the bottom plate 1 through the column 17.

[0120] A second Z-direction motion assembly 82 is mounted on the second fixed plate 81 and can move vertically along the Z-direction;

[0121] The rotary motion component 83 is mounted on the second Z-direction motion component 82 and can rotate in the horizontal direction;

[0122] The second clamping assembly 84 is disposed on the rotating assembly 83 and is used to clamp the wax block 10;

[0123] Among them, the second Z-axis motion component 82 and the rotational motion component 83 are used to drive the second clamping component 84 to move to the second placement seat 5 to clamp the wax block 10, and to drive the second clamping component 84 to move to the entrance of the storage box 6 to place the wax block 10.

[0124] In this embodiment, the second fixing plate 81 is a straight plate in the shape of a long strip. The second fixing plate 81 is vertically installed along the Z direction. The back side of the second fixing plate 81 is installed on the base plate 1 through at least one column 17. The second fixing plate 81 maintains a certain distance from the base plate 1. The second Z-direction motion component 82 may also adopt a motor-screw drive structure, that is, the second Z-direction motion component 82 may include a second motor 821, a second screw 822, a second slide rail 823 and a second slider 824. The second slide rail 823 is vertically installed on the second fixed plate 81 along the Z direction, and the second slider 824 slides on the second slide rail 823. The second motor 821 is fixedly installed on the top of the second fixed plate 81 and is located at one end of the second slide rail 823. The second screw 822 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 821, and the second slider 824 is threadedly connected to the second screw 822. Based on this, the second motor 821 drives the second screw 822 to rotate, which can drive the second slider 824 to move on the second slide rail 823. This drives the rotation motion component 83 and the second clamping component 84 to move synchronously in the Z direction.

[0125] Furthermore, the rotational motion component 83 is installed on the second slider 824. The rotational motion component 83 can be a rotational motor, which is installed on the second slider 824 through an adapter plate. The output shaft of the rotational motor is facing downward in the Z direction. A rotating plate is installed on the output shaft of the rotational motor. The second clamping component 84 is installed on the rotating plate. The rotational motion component 83 can drive the second clamping component 84 to rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0126] Furthermore, the second clamping assembly 84 is fixedly mounted on the rotating plate of the rotating motor through an adapter plate. The second clamping assembly 84 can also adopt a servo electric clamping jaw structure (i.e., the same structure as the first clamping assembly 74). The second clamping assembly 84 loosens the wax block 10 by driving the two clamping jaws to move closer to and away from each other.

[0127] It should be noted that in order to achieve a miniaturized design of the instrument, the first fixed plate 71 and the second fixed plate 81 are vertically arranged in this embodiment, so that the entire second clamping assembly 84 is on the back side of the first fixed plate 71. In this way, the first fixed plate 71 will affect the motion trajectory design of the second motion clamping assembly 8, especially the motion trajectory of the second clamping assembly 84. The second clamping assembly 84 needs to move to the second placement seat 5 to clamp the wax block 10. At this time, the second clamping assembly 84 is also below the first fixed plate 71. Therefore, the present embodiment designs a rotating motion assembly 83 to control the rotation of the second clamping assembly 84, so that the second clamping assembly 84 can avoid the first fixed plate 71 to move after clamping the wax block 10.

[0128] See also Figures 7 to 9 The specific avoidance design is as follows: the second clamping assembly 84 is provided with a first angle position, a second angle position and a third angle position on the motion path between the second placement seat 5 and the storage box 6. The second Z-direction motion assembly 82 is used to drive the rotary motion assembly 83 and the second clamping assembly 84 to move downward, and then the second clamping assembly 84 is driven to rotate to the first angle position by the rotary motion assembly 83, so that the second clamping assembly 84 can clamp the wax block 10. When the second Z-direction motion assembly 82 is used to drive the rotary motion assembly 83 and the second clamping assembly 84 to move upward, the second clamping assembly 84 is driven to rotate to the second angle position by the rotary motion assembly 83, so that the second clamping assembly 84 avoids the first fixed plate 71. After the second Z-direction motion assembly 82 is used to drive the rotary motion assembly 83 and the second clamping assembly 84 to move upward, the second clamping assembly 84 is driven to rotate to the third angle position by the rotary motion assembly 83, so that the wax block 10 clamped on the second clamping assembly 84 corresponds to the entrance of the storage box 6. In this way, the motion structure can be made more compact and the space utilization rate can be higher, thereby realizing the advantages of miniaturized design of the instrument.

[0129] like Figure 7 As shown, the second clamping assembly 84 is at the first angle position to clamp the wax block 10. After clamping, if the second clamping assembly 84 continues to move upward, it will cause structural interference with the first fixed plate 71; therefore, after clamping the wax block 10, the rotational motion assembly 83 will first drive the second clamping assembly 84 to rotate from the first angle position to the second angle position, and then control the second clamping assembly 84 to drive the wax block 10 to move upward, so as to achieve the following Figure 8The second clamping assembly 84 shown in the figure avoids the effect of the first fixing plate 71; until the second clamping assembly 84 moves up to the upper limit position, and then the second clamping assembly 84 is driven by the rotational motion assembly 83 to rotate from the second angle position to the third angle position, the second clamping assembly 84 can reach the position as shown in the figure. Fig. 9 In the position shown, the wax block 10 on the clamping jaws of the second clamping assembly 84 is directly above the entrance of the storage box 6. The wax block 10 can be released by simply controlling the two clamping jaws of the second clamping assembly 84 to move closer to each other, so that the wax block 10 falls into the storage box 6 to complete storage.

[0130] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In one embodiment, the storage box 6 is strip-shaped and vertically arranged on the bottom plate 1, and an entrance is provided at the upper end of the storage box 6; a positioning port 11 for positioning and inserting the lower end of the storage box 6 is provided on the bottom plate 1, and a U-shaped limiting member 12 for limiting the body of the storage box 6 is provided on the second fixing plate 81.

[0131] In this embodiment, the storage box 6 can be directly taken out and replaced, and the positioning port 11 and the U-shaped limiter 12 can well ensure the stability of the storage box 6 when it is placed vertically. When it needs to be removed, the lower end of the storage box 6 is directly pulled up from the positioning port 11, and it can be directly removed from the U-shaped limiter 12.

[0138] In this embodiment, a limit hanger 16 for hanging a barcode scanner can be provided on the first fixed plate 71. The barcode scanner is hung on the limit hanger 16 when idle, and is directly removed when in use and can be used to scan and enter the wax blocks 10 to be sealed on the first placement seat 2; it can be understood that in some batch wax sealing scenarios, after the barcode scanner scans and identifies each wax block 10 in turn, after all the wax blocks 10 of the batch are sealed and stored in the same storage box 6, the printing device 15 is used to print the information of the wax blocks 10 of the batch to generate label information of the batch, and removing the label information and sticking it on the storage box 6 can facilitate subsequent storage management.

[0139] In one embodiment, the fully automatic wax sealing storage device further comprises a housing 9; openings are provided on the housing 9 at positions corresponding to the display screen 14, the printing device 15 and the storage box 6. The reserved openings can facilitate viewing and operation.
