[0050] Specifically, when making tissue chips, the stacked tissue wax blocks are first placed in the storage box 11 near the first feeding mechanism 3, and then the operator pushes the storage box 11 along the slide rail 832. When the storage box 11 reaches the specified position, the locking mechanism 8 locks the storage box 11 to the workbench 1. When the storage box 11 near the first feeding mechanism 3 is in an unloaded state, the operator pushes the storage box 11 again to unlock the locking mechanism 8, and then the slider 833 slides on the slide rail 832 to move the storage box 11 smoothly from the inside of the workbench 1 to the outside.

When the turntable 2 transports the wax block after sampling to the station where the unloading mechanism 7 is located, the unloading mechanism 7 takes the wax block out from the carrier 21 and transports it to the storage box 11 close to the unloading mechanism 7.

[0053] See also Figure 2The first loading mechanism 3, the second loading mechanism 4 and the unloading mechanism 7 have the same structure, and all include: a first six-axis robot 31 and a suction assembly 32 connected to the workbench 1, one end of the first six-axis robot 31 is connected to the workbench 1, and the other end of the first six-axis robot 31 is connected to the suction assembly 32.

[0054] Specifically, one end of the first six-axis robot 31 is rotatably connected to the workbench 1, and the other end of the first six-axis robot 31 is connected to the suction component 32. The first six-axis robot 31 drives the suction component 32 to the location of the material (any one of the wax block, wax model, and tissue chip), and the suction component 32 adsorbs or releases the material.

[0055] When loading the wax blocks, first, the first six-axis robot 31 of the first loading mechanism 3 drives the suction component 32 of the first loading mechanism 3 to the storage box 11 where the wax blocks are stored, and then, the adsorption component of the first loading mechanism 3 adsorbs the wax blocks and loads the wax blocks to the supporting platform 21, and finally, the suction component 32 of the first loading mechanism 3 releases the wax blocks and places the wax blocks in the first placement groove 211 of the supporting platform 21.

[0056] In this embodiment, storage boxes 11 are provided on both sides of the second loading mechanism 4, one of which is used to place the wax model, and the other is used to place the tissue chip. When loading the wax model, first, the first six-axis robot arm of the second loading mechanism 4 drives the suction component of the second loading mechanism to the storage box 11 where the wax model is stored, then the suction component of the second loading mechanism 4 sucks the wax model and loads the wax model to the placement table 5, and finally, the suction component of the second loading mechanism 4 releases the wax model, so that the wax model is placed in the second placement groove 51 of the placement table 5.

[0057] When the wax mold is fully loaded with tissue samples, the tissue chip is completed. At this time, the first six-axis robot arm of the second loading mechanism 4 drives the suction component of the second loading mechanism 4 to the placement table 5, and then the suction component of the second loading mechanism 4 absorbs the wax mold and transports the wax mold to the storage box 11 for storing tissue chips. Finally, the suction component of the second loading mechanism 4 releases the tissue chip and places the tissue chip in the storage box 11 for storing tissue chips.

[0058] When unloading the wax block that has completed sampling, the turntable 2 transports the wax block to the workstation of the unloading mechanism 7. At this time, the first six-axis robot arm of the unloading mechanism 7 drives the suction component of the unloading mechanism 7 to the supporting platform 21. Then, the suction component of the unloading mechanism 7 absorbs the wax block and transports the wax mold to the storage box 11 for storing the completed sampling wax block. Finally, the suction component of the unloading mechanism 7 releases the wax block and places the wax block in the storage box 11 for storing the completed sampling wax block.

[0059] Please refer again Figure 2The material suction component 32 includes: a vacuum pump 321 and a suction member 322. The suction member 322 is controlled by the vacuum pump 321. The vacuum pump 321 is used to provide suction to the suction member 322 so that the suction member 322 can absorb or release the material. In this embodiment, the suction member 322 can be any one of a flexible suction pad, a mesh suction plate, a porous ceramic adsorber, and a suction cup.

[0060] See also Figure 3 The sampling mechanism 6 includes: a second six-axis robotic arm 61, a sampler 62 and a pushing assembly 63. One end of the second six-axis robotic arm 61 is connected to the workbench 1, and the sampler 62 and the pushing assembly 63 are both connected to the other end of the second six-axis robotic arm 61. The pushing end of the pushing assembly 63 extends into the sampler 62.

[0061] Specifically, the sampler 62 is a needle sampler 62, which is a prior art and its specific structure is not repeated here. The sampling mechanism 6 also includes: a mounting plate 65, one side of the mounting plate 65 is connected to one end of the second six-axis mechanical arm 61, the sampler 62 and the pusher assembly 63 are both installed on the other side of the mounting plate 65, and the other end of the second six-axis mechanical arm 61 is rotatably connected to the workbench 1. When sampling the wax block, the second six-axis mechanical arm 61 moves the sampler 62 to the sampling area above the wax block, and drives the sampler 62 to move downward, so that the needle of the sampler 62 penetrates the surface of the wax block, so that the tissue sample enters the needle cavity. In this embodiment, the pusher end of the pusher assembly 63 extends into the needle cavity of the sampler 62, and when the collected tissue sample is placed on the wax model, when the second six-axis mechanical arm 61 is transported to the top of the placement hole of the wax model, the pusher end of the pusher assembly 63 pushes the tissue sample out of the needle cavity, so that the tissue sample enters the placement hole of the wax model.

[0062] Please refer again Figure 3 The pushing assembly 63 includes: a cylinder 631 and a push rod 632, one end of the push rod 632 is connected to the driving end of the cylinder 631, and the other end of the push rod 632 extends into the sampler 62. The cylinder 631 drives the push rod 632 so that the sample is pushed out of the sampler 62.

[0063] Specifically, one end of the push rod 632 is connected to the driving end of the cylinder 631, and the other end of the push rod 632 extends into the needle cavity of the sampler 62. When the collected tissue sample is placed on the wax model, when the second six-axis robotic arm 61 is transported to the top of the placement hole of the wax model, the cylinder 631 drives the push rod 632 to push the tissue sample out of the needle cavity, so that the tissue sample enters the placement hole of the wax model.

[0064] Please refer again Figure 3 The sampling mechanism 6 also includes a visual camera 64 , which is connected to the second six-axis robot arm 61 and close to one side of the sampler 62 . The visual camera 64 is used to confirm the sampling area of ​​the sampler 62 .

[0065] Specifically, the visual camera 64 is installed on the mounting plate 65 and on the same side as the sampling needle. When the turntable 2 transports the wax block to the sampling station, the second six-axis robot 61 moves the visual camera 64 to the area above the wax block. The visual camera 64 identifies the features of the wax block surface and determines the sampling area. Then the second six-axis robot 61 moves the sampler 62 to the sampling area. The second six-axis robot 61 drives the sampler 62 to move downward, so that the needle of the sampler 62 penetrates the surface of the wax block, so that the tissue sample enters the needle cavity to complete the collection of the tissue sample.

[0070] Step S4 , when the tissue chip is finished, the second loading mechanism 4 takes the tissue chip out from the second placement slot 51 of the placement table 5 and transports it to the storage box 11 .

[0071] Compared with the prior art, the tissue chip making instrument proposed in this embodiment realizes the automation of tissue chip making through the turntable 2, the first loading mechanism 3, the second loading mechanism 4 and the sampling mechanism 6. The turntable 2 transports the wax block to the sampling station, realizes the continuous flow of the wax block, and improves the production efficiency of the tissue chip.
