[0002] In the medical field, sometimes it is necessary to take some biological tissues such as tumors, polyps, cells, etc. as samples for pathological analysis to assist medical staff in disease diagnosis and academic research. In the process of pathological analysis, the taken samples are usually placed in embedding boxes for dehydration, embedding, etc., and the embedding boxes are printed with the patient's information by the embedding box numbering machine to distinguish the embedding boxes and prevent mixing up the samples. Similarly, the slides on which the sample slices are placed also need to be marked with the corresponding patient's information.

[0059] In addition, the reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0060] The present embodiment provides a scanning device 100, which can identify the identification on the target object 200 by scanning the identification such as the barcode and the QR code on the target object 200. It should be noted that the target object 200 described herein includes but is not limited to the embedding box, and the information source 220 or identification described herein includes but is not limited to the barcode and the QR code.

[0061] In addition, the scanning device 100 can be used in hospital department case equipment, such as numbering machines, slicers, etc. It can also be used in scenarios where code information needs to be identified and converted into visual data. Of course, it can also be used in other suitable scenarios, such as libraries, pharmacies, logistics and other fields.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the scanning device 100 includes a body 1, a scanning component 2 and a focusing component 3, wherein the scanning component 2 and the focusing component 3 are both arranged on the body 1, wherein the scanning component 2 is at least used to scan the information source 220 on the target object 200, and the focusing component 3 is used to enclose a focusing cavity 31 together with the body 1. It should be noted that the scanning component 2 and the focusing component 3 can be built into the body 1 or placed outside the body 1, which can be determined according to actual conditions, as long as the light emitted by the scanning component 2 can enter the focusing cavity 31 and reach the information source 220.

[0063] It should also be noted that the structure of the scanning component 2 can adopt an existing structure or a newly created structure, and there is no special limitation here. Usually, it is only necessary to ensure that the scanning component 2 has a scanning function, that is, in addition to the scanning function, the scanning component 2 can also have other functions such as signal conversion.

[0064] Exemplarily, the scanning component 2 may include a light emitter (not shown), an optical sensor (not shown), an image processing chip (not shown) and a decoder (not shown), wherein the light emitter emits infrared light and shines on an information source 220 such as a barcode / QR code, and then the information source 220 illuminated by the infrared light reflects the light toward the scanning component 2, and the reflected light can be captured by the optical sensor, and the graphic signal carried by the light reflected back by the information source 220 is converted into a digital signal, and then the image processing chip performs signal processing such as noise reduction and contrast enhancement on the digital signal, and finally, the decoder parses the digital signal data according to relevant rules, such as the encoding rules of the barcode / QR code information, and sends the corresponding information to the server for subsequent processing. In order to improve the recognition accuracy of the information source 220, a scanning component 2 with high recognition accuracy can be used.

[0065] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the scanning assembly 2 has an exit surface 21 and a scanning surface 22 which are opposite to each other at a gap, and the exit surface 21 and the scanning surface 22 together form a scanning area 23 (see Figure 3It should be noted that when the scanning component 2 is built into the body 1, the exit surface 21 may be the cross section of the light emitted by the scanning component 2 when it initially exits the body 1 from the body 1; the scanning surface 22 may be the projection surface formed when the light emitted by the scanning component 2 reaches the target object 200 and is located at the position of the information source 220.

[0066] When the scanning component 2 scans the target object 200, the exit surface 21 faces the information source 220, and the scanning surface 22 covers the information source 220. In this way, by covering the information source 220 with the scanning surface 22, on the one hand, when the scanning device 100 is fixed, there is no need to adjust the position of the target object 200 back and forth, so as to ensure that the information source 220 on the target object 200 is completely scanned, which is beneficial to improving the scanning effect and work efficiency; on the other hand, when there is a deviation or angle offset in the placement position of the target object 200, it is beneficial to improve the recognition accuracy, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the subsequent work process, and ultimately ensuring efficient and accurate work requirements.

[0067] Optionally, to further improve the scanning effect and efficiency, the scanning surface 22 is parallel to the information source 220. Exemplarily, both the emitting surface 21 and the scanning surface 22 can be planes perpendicular to the supporting surface 300 or the mounting surface 300 of the scanning device 100. Of course, in practical applications, the emitting surface 21 and the scanning surface 22 can also be inclined surfaces 4, which can be determined according to actual needs.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the focusing cavity 31 is located on the side of the exit surface 21 close to the information source 220, and the scanning area 23 of the scanning component 2 is at least partially located in the focusing cavity 31. In this way, part or all of the light emitted by the scanning component 2 is gathered through the focusing cavity 31. On the one hand, more light emitted by the scanning component 2 can be irradiated to the information source 220 of the target object 200, which is conducive to better reflection of light by the information source 220, thereby improving the recognition accuracy; on the other hand, a relatively stable lighting environment can be formed on the scanning path of the scanning component 2 through the focusing cavity 31. During the scanning process, it is conducive to reducing the interference of the light intensity of the external environment, reducing the probability of unrecognition due to too bright or too dark light, thereby reducing the requirements for light intensity and improving the tolerance of the scanning device 100 to the use environment.

[0069] In summary, compared with the prior art, the scanning device 100 has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0070] The scanning device 100 ensures that the scanning surface 22 covers the information source 220, forms a focusing cavity 31 on the side of the exit surface 21 close to the information source 220, and makes the scanning area 23 of the scanning component 2 at least partially located in the focusing cavity 31, so as to form a relatively stable lighting environment on the scanning path of the scanning component 2 through the focusing cavity 31, and collects part or all of the light emitted by the scanning component 2, thereby reducing the probability of interference from the light intensity of the external environment, improving the tolerance and scanning efficiency of the scanning device 100 to the use environment, and facilitating the light emitted by the scanning component 2 to irradiate more on the information source 220, thereby ensuring that the information source 220 can better reflect the light, which is conducive to improving the recognition accuracy. In general, the scanning device 100 has high recognition accuracy and scanning efficiency, low requirements on the light intensity of the use environment, etc., can meet the needs of efficient work, and has a good user experience.

[0071] In order to make the technical personnel in this field better understand the present utility model scheme, the following will be combined with the attached Figures 1 to 10 , clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in order to make the focusing component 3 have a focusing effect, the focusing component 3 has a focusing surface 321, wherein the focusing surface 321, the main body 1 and the exit surface 21 together form a focusing cavity 31, so as to form an enclosing structure of at least three sides on the scanning path of the scanning component 2, so as to ensure that more scanning areas 23 are in the focusing cavity 31, thereby helping to improve the focusing effect.

[0073] Exemplarily, the end of the focusing surface 321 close to the exit surface 21 can be connected to the exit surface 21 to collect the light initially emitted by the scanning component 2 through the focusing cavity 31, and the end of the focusing surface 321 away from the exit surface 21 can be between the exit surface 21 and the scanning surface 22 to collect part of the light emitted by the scanning component 2 through the focusing cavity 31. Of course, the end of the focusing surface 321 away from the exit surface 21 can also be located behind the scanning surface 22 to collect all the light emitted by the scanning component 2 through the focusing cavity 31, so that the focusing effect is better. Of course, in actual applications, the focusing cavity 31 can also be extended to behind the exit surface 21 to ensure that the light initially emitted by the scanning component 2 can be better collected and further reduce the influence of the light from the external environment.

[0074] And / or, the focusing surface 321 is located at the periphery of the scanning area 23 of the scanning component 2 so that the scanning area 23 is entirely located in the focusing cavity 31 , that is, all the light emitted by the scanning component 2 can be focused by the focusing cavity 31 and emitted to the information source 220 .

[0075] For example, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the focusing surface 321, the main body 1 and the exit surface 21 together form a focusing cavity 31, and the focusing surface 321 is located at the periphery of the scanning area 23 of the scanning component 2, so as to simplify the overall structure of the scanning device 100 and achieve a better focusing effect while ensuring that all light emitted by the scanning component 2 enters the focusing cavity 31 for focusing.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, at least two focusing surfaces 321 are provided, wherein the two focusing surfaces 321 are respectively located on opposite sides of the information source 220 and are both arranged along the scanning direction of the scanning component 2. It can be understood that the scanning component 2 emits light from the middle of the body 1 to face the information source 220 as much as possible, and the focusing surfaces 321 on both sides (specifically, the left and right sides) of the information source 220 can well gather the light emitted by the scanning component 2 to ensure that more light is emitted to the information source 220, so as to further reduce the requirements of the scanning device 100 on the light intensity of the use environment, and ensure that it can be used normally in a brighter or darker environment.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the body 1 is provided with a scanning outlet 111, wherein the scanning outlet 111 is mainly used for allowing the light emitted by the scanning component 2 to pass through to the information source 220 on the target object 200. It can be understood that the scanning outlet 111 can be an avoidance hole for the light emitted by the scanning component 2 to pass through.

[0078] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, the exit surface 21 of the scanning component 2 can be the cross-section of the scanning outlet 111 at the exit hole of the emitted light; the scanning surface 22 can be the projection surface formed by the light emitted by the scanning component 2 through the scanning outlet 111 along the scanning direction at the location of the information source 220.

[0079] Optionally, in some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to achieve the focusing effect of the focusing component 3, the focusing component 3 includes a focusing piece 32 arranged on the main body 1. In order to simplify the overall structure of the scanning device 100, two focusing pieces 32 are provided. The two focusing pieces 32 both have a focusing surface 321, and the two focusing pieces 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the scanning outlet 111 to focus the light emitted from the scanning outlet 111 of the scanning component 2 from both sides to the information source 220, thereby ensuring that more light reaches the information source 220.

[0080] Optionally, in some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3As shown, one end of each light focusing element 32 (specifically, the end close to the exit surface 21) extends to the exit surface 21, so as to ensure that the light focusing surface 321, the body 1 and the exit surface 21 together form a light focusing cavity 31. The other end of each light focusing element 32 (specifically, the end away from the exit surface 21) extends to the back of the information source 220 on the scanning target object 200 or is flush with the scanning surface 22.

[0081] It should be noted that the other end of each light concentrator 32 described here extends to the back side of the information source 220 on the scanning target object 200. The other end of each light concentrator 32 may extend to the back side of the information source 220 along the scanning direction. For example, each light concentrator 32 may be a straight plate structure. The other end of each light concentrator 32 may extend to the back side of the information source 220 along the scanning direction and bend toward the information source 220. For example, the end of each light concentrator 32 away from the exit surface 21 is a bent structure to achieve a better focusing effect.

[0082] For example, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the focusing cavity 31 is a quadrilateral cavity structure, so that the light from the left and right sides and the front and back sides of the target 200 can be gathered, thereby focusing the light around the information source 220 on the target 200 to further improve the focusing effect.

[0083] It should also be noted that the other end of each focusing element 32 mentioned here is flush with the scanning surface 22, which means that the other end of each focusing element 32 is flush with the information source 220, so as to focus the light on the side of the information source 220 close to the exit surface 21 from both sides of the information source 220.

[0084] And / or, optionally, in some specific embodiments, in order to facilitate manufacturing and simplify the structure of the scanning device 100, each light focusing member 32 is integrally formed with the body 1. Exemplarily, when the light focusing cavity 31 and the scanning assembly 2 are arranged on the top surface of the body 1, each light focusing member 32 can be a light focusing plate, and the light focusing plate is integrally formed on the top surface of the body 1. Alternatively, when the scanning assembly 2 is built into the body 1, the light focusing cavity 31 can be formed by a concave arrangement on the top surface of the body 1, so that the cavity wall of the light focusing cavity 31 can become the light focusing surface 321.

[0085] And / or, optionally, in some specific embodiments, in order to facilitate the scanning surface 22 to cover the information source 220, the light output end 1111 of the scanning outlet 111 of the main body 1 (specifically, it may be the end of the scanning outlet 111 close to the information source 220) is larger than the light input end 1112 (specifically, it may be the end of the scanning outlet 111 away from the information source 220), and the hole area of ​​the light output end 1111 of the scanning outlet 111 is larger than the area occupied by the information source 220, so that the scanning surface 22 covers the information source 220.

[0086] For example, specifically Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the scanning outlet 111 can be a conical hole or a horn hole, etc. In this way, the scanning surface 22 formed by the light emitted from the scanning outlet 111 at the information source 220 is larger than the exit surface 21, which helps to ensure that when the scanning device 100 is fixed, the scanning range of the scanning component 2 can be larger than the range of left and right movement of the information source 220. Therefore, when the target object 200 is placed in the position to be scanned, even if the information source 220 is not directly opposite to the scanning component 2, for example, it is offset to the left or right or up or down, etc., it can also help to ensure that it is within the scanning range of the scanning component 2, thereby improving the scanning efficiency, facilitating user operation, and providing a good user experience.

[0087] Also illustratively, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, one end of each light focusing element 32 extends to the exit surface 21, and the other end extends to the back of the information source 220 on the scanning target object 200, and each light focusing element 32 is integrally formed with the main body 1. Specifically, the top surface of the main body 1 is concavely formed with each light focusing element 32, and the scanning outlet 111 is a conical hole, so that the overall structure is relatively simple and the scanning operation is convenient and quick.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, in order to simplify the overall structure and ensure that the scanning device 100 is compatible with the use environment, a mounting cavity 13 is provided in the body 1, wherein the scanning component 2 is built in the mounting cavity 13, and the mounting cavity 13 can communicate with the focusing cavity 31 through the scanning outlet 111. It can be understood that the light emitted by the scanning component 2 can be emitted to the focusing cavity 31 through the scanning outlet 111 to scan the information source 220.

[0089] And / or, in some specific embodiments, to facilitate scanning operations, the body 1 can be independently placed vertically or horizontally outside. Figure 7 As shown, the bottom surface of the body 1 is a plane, so that the body 1 can be erected and placed directly on the support surface 300, so that the scanning device 100 can be placed vertically independently without other assistance. The support surface 300 can be a laboratory table or an operating table. Alternatively, the back of the body 1 (see Figure 8 ) or one side (see Fig. 9 ) is a plane, so that the scanning device 100 can be directly vertically arranged on the external mounting surface 300. In addition, Fig.10 As shown, when the back side of the body 1 is a plane, the scanning device 100 can also place the body 1 horizontally directly on the support surface 300, and the scanning device 100 can also be placed independently without other assistance.

[0090] It should be noted that the support surface 300 / mounting surface 300 mentioned here may refer to the outer surface or external surface of an external device such as a marking machine or a slicer.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, in order to improve the scanning accuracy and scanning efficiency, the scanning device 100 also includes a positioning structure 4, wherein the positioning structure 4 is arranged opposite to the exit surface 21, and is used to position the target object 200. That is, during scanning, the target object 200 can be positioned and placed at the corresponding position by the positioning structure 4. On the one hand, during the scanning process, the target object 200 can be prevented from shaking, etc., which is conducive to improving the scanning accuracy; on the other hand, the user can directly place the target object 200 on the positioning structure 4, which is conducive to simplifying the scanning operation. Exemplarily, the positioning structure 4 can be a positioning groove for limiting the target object 200. Of course, it can also be other suitable structures, which are not particularly limited here.

[0092] Or, alternatively, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the positioning structure 4 is an inclined plane 4, wherein the inclined plane 4 is located on the opposite side of the exit surface 21 of the body 1 and is inclined toward the scanning direction of the scanning component 2. Specifically, the inclination angle of the inclined plane 4 is β. Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the inclination angle of the inclined surface 4 is the angle β between the inclined surface 4 and the horizontal plane or the bottom of the focusing cavity 31 on the side facing away from the exit surface 21 .

[0093] When the target object 200 is placed on the inclined plane 4, the information source 220 is perpendicular to the scanning direction of the scanning component 2. It can be understood that the inclined plane 4 is a positioning reference plane for placing the target object 200, which mainly serves to position the target object 200 to ensure that the information source 220 on the target object 200 is parallel to the scanning surface 22, thereby facilitating the improvement of recognition accuracy.

[0094] For example, when the operator manually places the target object 200 on the inclined plane 4, the target object 200 can enter the scanning range of the scanning component 2, and the information source 220 is parallel to the scanning surface 22 of the scanning component 2. Obviously, it is more convenient to align the target object 200, and the scanning is more accurate, which is beneficial to improve the scanning effect and scanning efficiency, simplify the scanning operation, and can further improve the user experience.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the target object 200 is an embedding cassette 200, wherein the embedding cassette 200 has a printing surface 210, the printing surface 210 is tilted, and is provided with an information source 220. It should be noted that the information source 220 is a barcode, a QR code or other mark provided on the printing surface 210 to facilitate the distinction of each embedding cassette 200.

[0096] Optionally, to improve scanning accuracy, when the positioning structure 4 is a slope 4, the sum of the inclination angle β of the slope 4 and the inclination angle α of the printing surface 210 is 90°, so that the information source 220 is in a vertical state, that is, ensuring that the information source 220 is parallel to the scanning surface 22, which is beneficial for the light emitted by the scanning component 2 to be able to vertically reach the information source 220, thereby facilitating better identification of the information source 220.

[0097] For example, Figure 4 As shown, on the side facing away from the exit surface 21, the angle between the printing surface 210 and the bottom surface of the embedding box 200 is α, and the angle between the inclined surface 4 and the horizontal plane or the bottom of the focusing cavity 31 is β, wherein α+β=90°. Optionally, α=β=45°, that is, in practical applications, the embedding box 200 to be identified is placed on the inclined surface 4 at the front end of the bottom shell 11 of the body 1, and the information source 220 such as the barcode / QR code on the embedding box 200 can be directly scanned, which is convenient and fast. Of course, in other embodiments, α and β can also be other suitable angles, as long as the sum of the two is ensured to be 90°.

And at least one of the bottom, back and side surfaces of the main body 1 is a plane, which can ensure the stability of the adsorption of the scanning device 100 on the one hand, and can facilitate the scanning device 100 to be adsorbed and installed on the surface of external related equipment in various suitable postures on the other hand, and it is also convenient for the user to fix the scanning device 100 in a convenient position for scanning, without repeatedly taking and placing the scanning device 100, and does not occupy the operating table position. And / or, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the scanning device 100 may also include a counterweight 5, wherein the counterweight 5 is disposed on the body 1 to improve the feel of use. Or the counterweight 5 is disposed on the body 1 and has magnetism, so that, on the one hand, the scanning device 100 can have a better feel of use, and on the other hand, the scanning device 100 can be directly magnetically adsorbed on external related equipment, such as a marking machine, a slicer or the surface of a workpiece, without the need for a special base, taking up little space, and being convenient to store or take out, and not prone to falling due to collision.

The outer surface of the body 1 is medical white. In addition, the outer contour of the body 1 is a curved structure formed by a combination of straight lines, curves, etc., so that the shape and color of the scanning device 100 are adapted to the department environment, which is conducive to improving the aesthetic appearance of the scanning device 100 and improving the adaptability of the scanning device 100 to the use environment.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to simplify the overall structure of the scanning device 100 and facilitate installation and manufacturing, the body 1 includes a bottom shell 11 and a bottom cover 12 that cover each other, wherein the bottom shell 11 and the bottom cover 12 together form an installation cavity 13 (see Figure 4 Optionally, the scanning assembly 2 , the magnetic component, the counterweight, etc. are all installed in the installation cavity 13 , the scanning outlet 111 is opened on the bottom shell 11 , and the focusing cavity 31 is formed by a concave arrangement on the top surface of the bottom shell 11 .

[0106] And / or, optionally, the scanning device 100 further includes a display screen and a voice prompt device disposed on the body 1, for feeding back scanning information to the user. In addition, to ensure that the scanning device 100 transmits signals to the outside, the body 1 is also provided with a USB interface, or a wireless communication structure is directly provided on the body 1.
