Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical laboratory equipment, and more specifically relates to a pathology wax block scanning device. Background Art

[0002] The purpose of pathological examination is to make a pathological diagnosis and provide a basis for subsequent treatment. The results of pathological diagnosis serve as the standard for disease diagnosis. Every pathological wax block involved in the pathological report is crucial. Losing any one of them may lead to missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, so the sorting and verification of pathological wax blocks are essential.

[0003] The pathology paraffin block specimens of patients are processed and assigned pathology numbers according to the numbering rules of the pathology department. The pathology paraffin block processing process includes tissue sampling - tissue dehydration - paraffin block embedding - paraffin block sorting - paraffin block verification - paraffin block sectioning - slide staining. The above processes are tedious and complicated, especially the embedding process. When the workload is large, the paraffin blocks that are not completely solidified need to be immersed in ice water to solidify and demold. At this time, the order of the paraffin blocks will be completely messed up, making it necessary to sort and verify before sectioning to ensure that no paraffin block is missed. However, as the number of pathology paraffin blocks increases, the difficulty of sorting pathology paraffin blocks is also increasing. The existing sorting and verification of pathology paraffin blocks are manual, which has a high risk of errors and omissions.

[0004] With the development of pathology technology, pathology quality control is becoming increasingly important. Existing solutions generally place identification codes on the outer packaging of pathology paraffin blocks. These codes consist of QR codes or barcodes. Scanning these codes records information about each step of the paraffin block, making it easier to resolve any issues when they are discovered. However, due to the large number of paraffin blocks and their disordered placement, manual sorting and barcode scanning are still required, which is still very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the problem that the existing pathology wax block scanning process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the utility model provides a pathology wax block scanning device. By utilizing an industrial camera with multiple degrees of freedom that is adjustable, the scanning of pathology wax blocks can be completed quickly and conveniently even when faced with disorderly arranged pathology wax blocks.

The following description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and is intended to explain the present invention, but is not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0043] The preferred embodiment provided by the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the pathology wax block scanning device includes a chassis 1, a material tray 2, a scanner 3 and a support structure.

[0044] The material tray 2 is arranged inside the chassis 1 and is constructed to accommodate wax blocks. When scanning the code, the wax blocks are not required to be arranged in order in the material tray 2 in advance, and the wax blocks can be placed in the material tray 2 in a disorderly manner.

[0045] The barcode scanner 3 is used to scan the identification codes of the wax blocks in the material tray 2. There can be one or more barcode scanners 3, and each barcode scanner 3 only scans the identification codes of the wax blocks within a preset area. The total area of ​​the preset areas of the one or more barcode scanners 3 is equal to the area of ​​the wax blocks in the material tray 2.

[0046] The preset partitions for each barcode scanner 3 are pre-defined based on factors such as the shape and area of ​​the material tray 2 and the number of barcode scanners 3. In a preferred embodiment, the material tray 2 is rectangular, the number of barcode scanners 3 is four, and each barcode scanner 3 is an industrial camera model MV-CU120-10GM, black and white, with 12 megapixels. In this case, the preset partitions correspond to the number and position of the barcode scanners 3, which can also be four.

[0047] The support structure is arranged above the material tray 2, and the barcode scanner 3 is arranged on the support structure. The support structure is constructed to be able to complete the spatial position adjustment of any barcode scanner 3 according to the preset division area of ​​each barcode scanner 3, so that the scanning range of each barcode scanner 3 just covers the preset division area of ​​the barcode scanner 3.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the support structure includes a supporting portion and an adjusting portion.

[0049] The supporting portion includes a plurality of guide posts 4 and a mounting plate 5 disposed between the plurality of guide posts 4 . The bottoms of the guide posts 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the chassis 1 .

[0050] The mounting plate 5 is provided with a plurality of slots, one slot corresponding to a preset division area, and the positive projection position of each slot on the material tray 2 falls on the corresponding preset division area. The slot is constructed to at least accommodate the barcode scanner 3 extending out of the slot to avoid affecting the barcode scanning of the barcode scanner 3.

[0051] In order to further improve the stability of the device and avoid poor scanning accuracy of the barcode scanner, in a more preferred embodiment, a reinforcement block 15 fixedly connected to the guide column 4 is also provided on any guide column 4 located below the mounting plate 5, and the reinforcement blocks 15 on adjacent guide columns 4 are connected by a reinforcement rod 16.

[0052] The adjustment part includes a first connecting rod 6, a second connecting rod 7, and a connecting piece I8 and a connecting piece II9.

[0053] One end of the first connecting rod 6 is movably connected to one end of the connecting member I8 along a first direction, and the other end of the connecting member I8 is movably connected to the adjacent guide column 4 along a second direction;

[0055] The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0056] A reinforcing rib is further provided between the second connecting rod and the code scanner to prevent the code scanner from shaking.

[0057] Since the first connecting rod 6 is movably connected to the guide post 4, the relative position between the first connecting tube and the guide post 4 can be adjusted. Figure 2 It can be seen that due to the movable connection between the first connecting rod 6 and the guide column 4, the first connecting rod 6 can move up and down along the central axis of the guide column 4 relative to the guide column 4, so as to drive the barcode scanner 3 to complete the adjustment in the height direction through the second connecting rod 7 and other connecting parts.

[0058] Similarly, since one end of the first connecting rod 6 is movably connected to one end of the connecting member I8 along the first direction, the connecting member I8 can move left and right along the central axis of the first connecting rod 6 relative to the first connecting rod 6, so as to drive the barcode scanner 3 to complete the adjustment in the "horizontal" direction through the second connecting rod 7 and other connecting parts.

[0059] Since one end of the second connecting rod 7 is movably connected to the other end of the connecting member II9 along the third direction, the second connecting rod 7 can drive the barcode scanner 3 to complete the "radial" direction adjustment along the central axis of the connecting member II9.

[0060] Preferably, the connecting member I8 and the connecting member II9 both include: a sliding hole I10 and a sliding hole II11, the sliding hole I10 and the sliding hole II11 do not intersect with each other, and the central axis of the sliding hole I10 is perpendicular to the central axis of the sliding hole II11.

[0061] Preferably, the connector I8 and the connector II9 both include:

[0062] The connecting block I12 and the connecting block II13 are connected by bolts to form a whole, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of parts.

[0063] Preferably, the device further comprises:

[0064] A plurality of groups of fill lights 14 are arranged at the bottom of the mounting plate 5 and fixedly connected to the mounting plate 5 to provide fill light for the barcode scanner 3 to scan.

[0065] The pathology wax block scanning device provided by the present invention includes a chassis 1, a material tray 2, a scanner 3 and a support structure. The shape of the material tray 2 is constructed to be able to accommodate wax blocks arranged in an unordered manner, and the scanner 3 can scan the identification codes of the wax blocks in the material tray 2, wherein the number of the scanners 3 can be one or more, and each scanner 3 only scans the identification codes of the wax blocks within the preset divided area when scanning, and the sum of the areas of the preset divided areas of one or more scanners 3. Each time it is used, the user can first verify whether it is necessary to adjust the spatial position of the scanner 3 based on the focal length and pixel of the scanner 3 actually used, so as to ensure that all wax blocks within the preset divided area can be scanned each time the code is scanned, and to minimize omissions and missing situations; each time the spatial position of the scanner 3 needs to be adjusted, thanks to the mechanical mechanism of the support structure itself, the scanner 3 can be adjusted in multiple positions such as up and down, left and right, and front and back, and the scanners 3 are independent and do not interfere with each other. Since the entire scanning process no longer requires manual sorting and scanning of pathological wax blocks, it saves time and effort and is convenient and fast.
