Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of tumor specimens, and specifically refers to a device for making tumor specimen sections. Background Art

[0002] Brain tumor sections are taken from a certain size of diseased tissue and made into pathological sections by pathological histology methods. Doctors further examine the lesions by cutting the tissue sample into very thin slices and staining them, and the occurrence and development process of the lesions, and finally make a pathological diagnosis.

[0003] Currently, a fully automatic paraffin slicer is used to slice the wax block. The wax block is installed on the fixture of the fully automatic paraffin slicer, and the fixture drives the wax block to move up and down to complete the slicing of the wax block. During the slicing process, in the early stage, due to the uneven surface of the paraffin block, the cut sections cannot be used to make specimens, so some waste sections will be generated. However, the previously cut paraffin sections are difficult to take away in time, resulting in the adhesion of the waste sections and the complete sections, making it difficult to distinguish. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of device for making tumor specimen sections to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above existing problems, the present invention provides a device for making tumor specimen sections that can clean waste paraffin sections through a cleaning component, timely take away the paraffin sections through a picking table, and is simple to operate and highly practical.

A blade groove is provided at the top wall of the end of the picking table close to the slicing machine, and a slicing knife is clamped in the blade groove. The cutting edge of the slicing knife is arranged above the picking table.

[0006] Further, a cavity is provided inside the picking table. The cavity penetrates the inclined surface of the picking table. A picking conveyor belt is arranged inside the cavity. Two transmission shafts are rotatably arranged inside the cavity. A driving shaft is rotatably arranged inside the cavity. The picking conveyor belt is wound around the outside of the driving shaft and the transmission shafts. The inclined surface of the picking conveyor belt is flush with the inclined surface of the picking table.

[0007] Further, a detachable cleaning brush is provided inside the cavity. A picking motor is fixedly arranged outside the picking table. The output end of the picking motor is connected to the driving shaft.

[0008] Further, the cleaning assembly includes a cleaning brush and a telescopic rod. The cleaning brush is slidably arranged on one side of the picking table, and the cleaning brush is horizontally arranged with the inclined surface of the picking table. The telescopic rod is fixedly arranged on one side of the cleaning brush, and both ends of the telescopic rod are fixedly connected to the cleaning brush and the section cabinet respectively.

[0009] Further, the specimen clamp includes a clamping frame, a clamping plate and a clamping screw.

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the tumor specimen slicing device proposed in this solution includes a slicing cabinet 1, a slicing machine 2, a specimen clamp 3, a picking table 4, and a cleaning assembly 5. The slicing cabinet 1 is arranged as a hollow cavity 9 with an open upper end. A transparent cover plate 6 is provided at the open end of the slicing cabinet 1. The slicing machine 2 is fixedly arranged inside one end of the slicing cabinet 1. The specimen clamp 3 is slidably arranged on one side of the slicing machine 2. The picking table 4 is arranged inside the slicing cabinet 1 and on the side of the slicing machine 2 where the specimen clamp 3 is provided. The cleaning assembly 5 is arranged inside the slicing cabinet 1 and on one side of the picking table 4. A blade slot 7 is provided on the top wall of the end of the picking table 4 close to the slicing machine 2. A slicing knife 8 is clamped in the blade slot 7. The cutting edge of the slicing knife 8 is arranged above the picking table 4.

[0020] As Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a cavity 9 is provided inside the picking table 4. The cavity 9 penetrates the inclined surface of the picking table 4. A picking conveyor belt 10 is provided inside the cavity 9. Two transmission shafts 11 are rotatably arranged inside the cavity 9. A driving shaft 12 is rotatably arranged inside the cavity 9. The picking conveyor belt 10 is wound around the outside of the driving shaft 12 and the transmission shafts 11. The inclined surface of the picking conveyor belt 10 is flush with the inclined surface of the picking table 4. A removable cleaning brush 13 is provided inside the cavity 9. A picking motor 14 is fixedly arranged outside the picking table 4. The output end of the picking motor 14 is connected to the driving shaft 12.

[0021] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, the cleaning assembly 5 includes a cleaning brush 15 and a telescopic rod 16. The cleaning brush 15 is slidably arranged on one side of the picking table 4. The cleaning brush 15 and the inclined surface of the picking table 4 are horizontally arranged. The telescopic rod 16 is fixedly arranged on one side of the cleaning brush 15. Two ends of the telescopic rod 16 are respectively fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 15 and the sectioning cabinet 1.

[0022] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the specimen clamp 3 includes a clamping frame 17, a clamping plate 18 and a clamping screw 19. The clamping frame 17 is slidably arranged on one side of the microtome 2. The clamping plate 18 is slidably arranged in the clamping frame 17. The clamping screw 19 is fixedly arranged above the clamping plate 18. The clamping screw 19 threadedly penetrates through the top wall of the clamping frame 17.

[0023] Wherein, a collection box 20 is arranged on one side of the picking table 4 away from the cleaning assembly 5, and a picking box 21 is arranged on one side of the picking table 4 away from the microtome 2.

[0024] During specific use, put the paraffin block into the specimen clamp 3, turn the clamping screw 19 downward, so that the clamping screw 19 drives the clamping plate 18 to move downward, and the clamping plate 18 clamps the paraffin block in the clamping frame 17. At this time, put a new sectioning knife 8 into the blade slot 7. At this time, the microtome 2 drives the specimen clamp 3 to move quickly, so as to section the wax block.

[0025] In the early stage, since the surface of the paraffin block is not flat enough, the cut paraffin sections are not complete and cannot be used to make specimens. Therefore, it is necessary to clean these waste sections out of the picking table 4. The telescopic rod 16 extends to push the cleaning brush 15 to move, so that the cleaning brush 15 sweeps the waste paraffin sections into the collection box 20 on one side of the picking table 4.

[0026] After dealing with the waste paraffin sections, continue sectioning. At this time, the sections are relatively complete. The picking motor 14 is started. The picking motor 14 drives the drive shaft 12 to rotate, and the drive shaft 12 drives the picking conveyor belt 10 to rotate. The picking conveyor belt 10 stretches and picks the sections on the picking table 4 in the direction away from the microtome 2, and transports the sections into the picking box 21 for storing the sections in different zones. The operation is simple and the practicability is strong.

[0027] Before sectioning, install a new detachable cleaning brush 13 into the picking table 4. When the picking conveyor belt 10 rotates, the detachable cleaning brush 13 continuously wipes the outer wall of the picking conveyor belt 10, so as to clean the outer wall of the picking conveyor belt 10 and prevent specimen debris from remaining on the outer wall of the picking conveyor belt 10, improving the overall cleanliness of the sectioning device.
