Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automation auxiliary equipment, in particular to an automatic cover device for pathological specimen sampling process. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of pathological diagnosis, after receiving the specimen, the pathology department needs to go through a series of steps such as fixation, sampling, dehydration, embedding, slicing, and staining, and finally the tissue sample is made into HE slice for observation under microscope, so as to form a diagnosis result. Among them, the sampling link is highly professional and crucial, and requires a pathological diagnosis doctor with professional knowledge to operate personally. The doctor needs to check the patient's information, cut the lesion tissue into 1.5cmx1.5cmx0.3cm tissue blocks, and then put them into the corresponding numbered embedding boxes.

[0003] At present, China is facing a serious shortage of pathological diagnosis doctors, especially in third-grade class-A hospitals, the number of pathological doctors is far from the reasonable standard of 1:1 ratio with clinical positions. In addition to diagnosing the completed slices as soon as possible, pathological doctors also need to complete a large amount of sampling work in time, and sampling itself is a laborious work that consumes physical and mental energy. In the existing sampling process, after the tissue blocks are put into the embedding boxes, the doctor needs to manually cover the lid, especially when handling small specimens such as gastroscopy, the manual cover operation is tedious, not only occupies a lot of sampling time, but also further aggravates the physical consumption of the doctor.

[0004] This manual cover link seriously restricts the sampling efficiency, prolongs the overall pathological diagnosis cycle, and also increases the work burden of the already scarce pathological doctors. Therefore, in the current pathological specimen sampling process, an equipment is urgently needed to replace the manual cover operation to solve the problem of time and energy consumption, help pathological doctors save time and physical energy, improve sampling efficiency, and provide support for efficient pathological diagnosis work.

[0005] Therefore, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0012] Further, the assembly carrying plate is symmetrically provided with two photoelectric sensors, the two photoelectric sensors are respectively fixed at two positions along the length direction of the assembly carrying plate, photo-coupler baffles are installed on the front and back sides of the pressing piece, and the two photoelectric sensors are respectively matched with the two photo-coupler baffles to limit the maximum moving stroke of the pressing piece and the sliding seat.

[0013] Further, the bottom surface of the platform plate is provided with a plurality of support columns, the bottom ends of the support columns away from the platform plate are fixed to the top surface of the mounting bottom plate.

This saves time on capping a single specimen and reduces physical exertion such as bending over and pressing.

[0020] 2. This invention uses baffles to form a conveyor slide to prevent the embedding box frame from shifting. Photoelectric sensors and optocoupler baffles limit the feeding stroke to ensure precise positioning. The symmetrical design of the embedding box cover limit block, slide base, and pressure block ensures that the box cover is aligned and the pressure is evenly distributed. This avoids the problems of cover shifting and uneven compaction that are common with manual capping, reduces the risk of specimen contamination and liquid leakage during dehydration, and provides stable pretreatment quality for subsequent dehydration, embedding, and slicing processes.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic capping device for the process of collecting specimens in the pathology department, including a mounting base plate 100, and a conveying mechanism 200, a pushing mechanism 300 and a capping mechanism 400 are mounted on the top surface of the mounting base plate 100;

[0035] The conveying mechanism 200 includes a platform plate 202 installed above the mounting base plate 100. An embedding box compartment 214 is installed on the top surface of the platform plate 202. The embedding box compartment 214 has a square tube structure with open top and bottom. Several embedding box frames 215 are stacked inside the embedding box compartment 214. A conveying slide is provided on the top surface of the platform plate 202 for the embedding box frames 215 to slide. A chute is provided on the platform plate 202 that runs through it along its length. A feeding stop block 211 is slidably installed inside the chute. A linear module is provided on the bottom surface of the platform plate 202 to drive the feeding stop block 211 to slide back and forth along the length of the chute.

[0036] The pushing mechanism 300 includes a support plate 301 mounted on the top surface of the mounting base plate 100, a mounting plate 302 mounted on the top surface of the support plate 301, a vertical plate 305 mounted on the mounting plate 302, and an embedding cassette cover compartment 306 mounted on the vertical plate 305. The embedding cassette cover compartment 306 has the same structure as the embedding cassette compartment 214. Several embedding cassette covers 307 are stacked inside the embedding cassette compartment 214. A slide base 304 is slidably mounted at the bottom port of the embedding cassette cover compartment 306. The slide base 304 has a pushing groove 308 for accommodating the embedding cassette cover 307. A pushing cylinder 303 is also mounted on the top surface of the mounting plate 302 to push the pushing groove 308 to slide along the bottom port of the embedding cassette cover compartment 306.

[0037] The capping mechanism 400 includes a cylinder seat 401 mounted on the top surface of the mounting base plate 100, a capping cylinder 402 mounted on the cylinder seat 401, and a pressure block 403 mounted on the telescopic end of the capping cylinder 402.

[0038] Specifically, using the mounting base plate 100 as the equipment's supporting foundation, automatic capping is achieved through the coordinated operation of the conveying mechanism 200, the pushing mechanism 300, and the capping mechanism 400.

[0039] Material feeding and conveying by conveying mechanism 200: The embedded box frames 215 stacked in the embedded box compartment 214 on the top surface of platform plate 202 fall into the conveying slide under the action of gravity; the linear module on the bottom surface of platform plate 202 drives the feeding block 211 in the slide to slide back and forth, pushing the embedded box frames 215 to move along the slide to the tissue placement station and the capping station.

[0040] The push mechanism 300 provides the box cover supply: On the mounting plate 302 supported by the bracket plate 301, the embedding box cover 307 is stacked in the embedding box cover compartment 306 fixed by the upright plate 305, and the bottom cover falls into the push groove 308 of the slide table 304; the push cylinder 303 pushes the slide table 304 to accurately push the box cover to the top of the embedding box frame 215 at the capping station.

[0041] The capping mechanism 400 closes and compacts the cap: The capping cylinder 402, which is fixed in the cylinder seat 401, is activated. The telescopic end drives the pressing block 403 to move downward, pressing the box cap against the embedding box frame 215, thus completing the automatic capping.

[0042] As a technical optimization of the present invention, the linear module includes a component support plate 203 that is parallel to the bottom surface of the platform plate 202. A guide rail 204 extending along its length direction is installed on the component support plate 203. A slide block 210 is slidably installed on the guide rail 204. A feeding stop block 211 is fixedly installed on the slide block 210. A synchronous wheel 206 is rotatably installed at one end of the component support plate 203 along its length direction, and an idler wheel 207 is rotatably installed at the other end of its length direction. A stepper motor 205 is also installed on the bottom surface of the component support plate 203. The driving end of the stepper motor 205 is connected to the synchronous wheel 206. A synchronous belt 208 is connected between the synchronous wheel 206 and the idler wheel 207. A clamping plate 212 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the slide block 210. The clamping plate 212 is fixed to the synchronous belt 208.

[0043] Specifically, the component support plate 203 is fixed parallel to the bottom surface of the platform plate 202, and a guide rail 204 extending along its length is installed on it. The slide 210 is slidably connected to the guide rail 204 and a feeding stop block 211 is fixed on its top surface. The synchronous wheel 206 at one end of the component support plate 203 is driven by a stepper motor 205 and is transmitted to the idler wheel 207 at the other end via a synchronous belt 208. The clamping plate 212 on the side wall of the slide 210 is fixed to the synchronous belt 208. When the synchronous belt 208 moves, it drives the slide 210 to slide smoothly along the guide rail 204, thereby driving the feeding stop block 211 to accurately push the embedding box frame 215.

[0044] As a technical optimization of the present invention, two photoelectric sensors 209 are symmetrically installed on the component support plate 203. The two photoelectric sensors 209 are fixed at two points along the length of the component support plate 203. Optical coupler baffles 213 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the clamping plate 212. The two photoelectric sensors 209 cooperate with the two optical coupler baffles 213 respectively to limit the maximum travel of the clamping plate 212 and the slide 210.

[0045] Specifically, when the slide 210 moves the clamping plate 212 to the initial position or the capping position, the corresponding optical coupler baffle 213 blocks the photoelectric sensor 209, triggering a signal to stop the stepper motor 205 and limiting the maximum travel of the slide 210.

[0046] As a technical optimization of the present invention, a support column 201 is provided on the bottom surface of the platform plate 202. The bottom end of the support column 201 away from the platform plate 202 is fixed to the top surface of the mounting base plate 100. Multiple support columns 201 are provided.

[0047] Specifically, multiple support columns 201 are provided on the bottom surface of the platform plate 202. The bottom ends of the support columns 201 away from the platform plate 202 are fixed to the top surface of the mounting base plate 100 to form a stable support for the platform plate 202 and ensure that the platform plate 202 always remains horizontal.

[0048] As a technical optimization of the present invention, baffles 217 are symmetrically installed on the top surface of the platform plate 202. Both baffles 217 extend along the length direction of the platform plate 202, and the two baffles 217 form a conveying slide on opposite sides.

[0049] Specifically, two baffles 217 extending along the length direction are symmetrically installed on the top surface of the platform plate 202. The opposite sides of the two baffles 217 form a conveying slide that matches the size of the embedding box frame 215. The embedding box frame 215 slides along the slide between the two baffles 217 under the push of the feeding block 211.

[0050] As a technical optimization of the present invention, the embedding box 214 is located at the first end of the conveying slide, and a feeding plate 218 is installed at one end of the platform plate 202. The feeding plate 218 is inclined and located at the tail end of the conveying slide.

[0051] Specifically, an inclined feeding plate 218 is installed at one end of the platform plate 202, and the feeding plate 218 is located at the tail end of the conveying slide. After the capping is completed, the embedding box frame 215 moves along the slide to the tail end under the push of the feeding block 211, and then slides out of the equipment under the action of gravity along the inclined feeding plate 218 to enter the subsequent process.

[0052] As a technical optimization of the present invention, the top surface of the platform plate 202 is also equipped with an embedding box cover limiting block 216, which is located at the end of the baffle 217.

[0053] Specifically, an embedding box cover limiting block 216 is installed on the top surface of the platform plate 202, and the limiting block is located at the end of the stop bar 217, which corresponds to the capping station; when the embedding box frame 215 is pushed to the capping station by the feeding stop block 211, the end of the frame fits with the embedding box cover limiting block 216 to achieve precise positioning.

[0054] As a technical optimization of the present invention, the mounting plate 302 and the platform plate 202 are on the same horizontal plane, the position of the embedding box cover limiting block 216 is symmetrical to the position of the slide base 304, and the position of the pressure block 403 is symmetrical to the position of the embedding box cover limiting block 216.

[0055] Specifically, the mounting plate 302 and the platform plate 202 are kept on the same horizontal plane to ensure that the slide base 304 moves horizontally when pushing the embedding box cover 307, thus avoiding the cover from tilting; the embedding box cover limiting block 216 is symmetrical to the slide base 304 to ensure that the cover is accurately aligned with the frame after being pushed; the pressing block 403 is symmetrical to the embedding box cover limiting block 216 to ensure that the pressing block 403 acts accurately on the center of the cover when it is pressed down.

[0056] The overall working principle is as follows:

[0057] The equipment uses the mounting base plate 100 as the overall support foundation. The platform plate 202 is fixed to the top surface of the mounting base plate 100 by multiple pillars 201, forming a middle platform for conveying embedding boxes. The mounting plate 302 of the pushing mechanism 300 is kept at the same level as the platform plate 202. The cylinder seat 401 of the capping mechanism 400 is fixed at the corresponding capping station on the mounting base plate 100. The three are arranged in the order of conveying, pushing, and capping to ensure the connection of the process. Initially, several embedding box frames 215 are stacked in the embedding box compartment 214, and several embedding box covers 307 are stacked in the embedding box cover compartment 306. The feeding block 211 is located at the beginning of the conveying slide, and the slide seat 304 is located directly below the embedding box cover compartment 306.

[0058] The embedding box 214 is an open square tube structure. Its bottom end is aligned with the conveying slide of the platform plate 202 by two symmetrical baffles 217. The bottom embedding box frame 215 falls into the conveying slide under the action of gravity and is blocked by the feeding baffle 211 at the beginning to prevent it from sliding further.

[0059] When a doctor needs to place a tissue specimen, the linear module is activated: the stepper motor 205 drives the synchronous pulley 206 to rotate, which in turn drives the idler pulley 207 to rotate synchronously via the synchronous belt 208; the synchronous belt 208 is fixed to the clamping plate 212 on the slide block 210, so when the synchronous belt 208 moves, it will drive the slide block 210 to slide along the guide rail 204; the feeding block 211 on the top surface of the slide block 210 passes through the groove of the platform plate 202 and moves synchronously with the slide block 210 along the length of the conveying slide, thereby pushing the embedding cassette frame 215 to move towards the tissue placement station;

[0060] The two photoelectric sensors 209 on the component carrier plate 203 correspond to the initial position and the capping position respectively. When the slide 210 moves the clamping plate 212, the photocoupler baffles 213 on both sides of the clamping plate 212 will trigger the corresponding photoelectric sensors 209, and the stepper motor 205 will stop running, ensuring that the embedding box frame 215 is accurately stopped at the tissue placement position, and the doctor can put the tissue block into the embedding box frame 215.

[0061] The embedding cassette cover compartment 306 has the same structure as the embedding cassette compartment 214. Its bottom end is aligned with the push groove 308 of the slide base 304. The bottommost embedding cassette cover 307 falls into the push groove 308. The size of the push groove 308 matches the cover and can only accommodate one cover to prevent multiple covers from falling out.

[0062] When the embedding box frame 215 moves from the tissue placement station to the capping station under the push of the feeding stop 211, and is in contact with the embedding box cap limiting block 216, and the embedding box cap limiting block 216 is fixed on the top surface of the platform plate 202 and the end of the stop bar 217 to ensure the frame position is stable, the push cylinder 303 is started. Its telescopic end pushes the slide table 304 to slide along the mounting plate 302, pushing the embedding box cap 307 in the push groove 308 to the top opening of the embedding box frame 215. After the push is completed, the push cylinder 303 is reset, and the slide table 304 returns to the bottom of the cap chamber, waiting for the next cap to fall in.

[0063] After the embedding box cover 307 accurately covers the embedding box frame 215, the capping cylinder 402 of the capping mechanism 400 is activated, and its telescopic end drives the pressure block 403 to move downward. Because the pressure block 403 and the embedding box cover limiting block 216 are symmetrical, the pressure block 403 will act precisely on the top of the box cover, and press the embedding box cover 307 and the frame together with downward pressure to complete the automatic capping. After capping, the capping cylinder 402 is reset, and the pressure block 403 rises back to the initial height.

[0064] After the capping is completed, the linear module starts again, and the stepper motor 205 drives the feeding block 211 to continue pushing the capped embedding box frame 215 along the conveyor slide towards the tail end until the frame slides onto the unloading plate 218 at the tail end of the platform plate 202; the embedding box frame 215 slides out of the equipment along the unloading plate 218 under the action of gravity and enters the subsequent dewatering process of the dewatering machine, completing a single automatic capping process;

[0065] After a single process is completed, the feeding stop 211 is driven by the linear module to reset along the guide rail 204 to the beginning of the conveying slide, and stops after triggering the photoelectric sensor 209 at the beginning; the next embedding box frame 215 in the embedding box compartment 214 falls into the slide, and the next box cover in the embedding box cover compartment 306 falls into the push groove 308. The equipment returns to the initial state and waits for the next tissue placement and covering operation, realizing continuous automatic covering operation of batch specimens.
