Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sample acquisition, and in particular relates to a sample image acquisition device and a sample acquisition platform. Background Art

[0002] Pathology technology, as the foundation of pathology, is the cornerstone of pathological diagnosis. It is a crucial component of pathology work, operating throughout the entire diagnostic process, from specimen receipt to report issuance. The quality of pathology work directly impacts patient diagnostic and treatment outcomes, making high-quality pathology work paramount. Tissue preparation is crucial, as it directly determines the reliability and accuracy of subsequent tests, whether conventional HE staining, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, or genetic testing. Therefore, tissue sampling is crucial.

[0003] It is generally necessary to take photos of the samples before and after sampling in order to record the status of the samples before and after sampling, so as to facilitate the identification of samples in the event of sample confusion in the subsequent process. However, when collecting sample images, it is generally only possible to take photos with handheld photography equipment. Therefore, hands need to be cleaned and disinfected before taking photos, which is cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problem that in the prior art, sample image acquisition can only be performed by hand-held photographing equipment, and hands need to be cleaned and disinfected before taking pictures, which is cumbersome to operate, the present utility model provides a sample image acquisition device and a sampling table.

[0005] The technical solutions adopted in this utility model are as follows:

[0006] A sample image acquisition device includes an image acquisition mechanism, the image acquisition mechanism includes a mounting plate, a first image acquisition mechanism and a second image acquisition mechanism are provided on the mounting plate, a sample carrying mechanism is provided between the first image acquisition mechanism and the second image acquisition mechanism, the sample carrying mechanism includes a fixed block, a through groove is provided on the fixed block, a carrying plate is slidably connected to the through groove via a sliding mechanism, a detection mechanism is provided on the carrying plate, and the first image acquisition mechanism, the second image acquisition mechanism and the detection mechanism are all electrically connected to a control system.

[0007] After adopting this technical solution, the sample can be placed on the carrier plate. When the detection mechanism detects that there is a sample on the carrier plate, the first image acquisition mechanism or the second image acquisition mechanism can be automatically started. After the image acquisition is completed, the carrier plate moves to the bottom of the other image acquisition mechanism, so that the sample is separated from the carrier plate, so that the operator knows that the image acquisition has ended and can perform subsequent operations. The next image acquisition can be placed on the second image acquisition mechanism on the other side. The image acquisition can be completed automatically without the need to hold the image acquisition device, thereby improving the image acquisition efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, a sample conveying mechanism is further included, and a wedge-shaped guide block is provided on one side of the supporting plate, and one side of the wedge-shaped guide block abuts against the sample conveying mechanism.

[0009] After adopting this technical solution, the samples on the conveyor belt can automatically reach the carrying plate through the cooperation of the conveyor belt and the wedge-shaped guide block. After sampling, the sampled samples can be directly placed on the carrying plate under the image acquisition mechanism on the other side for image acquisition. After sampling, the carrying plate moves to the side of unsampled samples, which can effectively distinguish between sampled samples and unsampled samples.

[0010] Preferably, the sample conveying mechanism is a conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing block is connected to a support rod, the support rod is an electric telescopic structure, and the support rod is detachably connected to the mounting plate.

[0012] With this technical solution, the support rod and mounting plate are detachably connected, allowing the loading plate to be removed for cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization before reuse, preventing sample contamination. The support rod is electrically retractable, allowing the distance between the loading plate and the camera to be adjusted by adjusting its length, making it easier to accommodate samples of different sizes.

[0013] Preferably, the detection mechanism is a pressure sensor, and the first image acquisition mechanism and the second image acquisition mechanism are both high-definition waterproof cameras.

[0014] After adopting this technical solution, the pressure sensor is used to detect whether there is a sample on the supporting plate, and the sample can also be weighed.

[0015] Preferably, the sliding mechanism includes a motor arranged on the inner wall of the through groove, the output end of the motor is connected to a gear, and the supporting plate is provided with a rack meshing with the gear.

[0016] After adopting this technical solution, the motor drives the gear to rotate, and the gear is engaged with the rack to drive the load-bearing plate to move.

[0017] Preferably, a scale is provided on the carrying plate.

[0018] By adopting this technical solution, the size of the sample can be roughly understood during image acquisition.

[0019] A material collection table is provided, and a sample image acquisition device is arranged on the table surface of the material collection table.

[0020] Preferably, a groove is provided on the surface of the sampling table, a conveyor belt is provided in the groove, and the sample image acquisition device is provided close to the conveyor belt.

[0021] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. The sample can be placed on the carrier plate. When the detection mechanism detects that there is a sample on the carrier plate, the first image acquisition mechanism or the second image acquisition mechanism can be automatically activated. After the image acquisition is completed, the carrier plate moves below the other image acquisition mechanism, so that the sample is separated from the carrier plate, so that the operator knows that the image acquisition has ended and can proceed with subsequent operations. The next image acquisition can be carried out on the second image acquisition mechanism on the other side. Image acquisition can be completed automatically without the need to hold the image acquisition device, thereby improving image acquisition efficiency.

[0023] 2. The conveyor belt and the wedge-shaped guide block can automatically move the samples on the conveyor belt to the carrier plate. After sampling, the sampled samples can be directly placed on the carrier plate under the image acquisition mechanism on the other side for image acquisition. After sampling, the carrier plate moves to the side of the unsampled samples, which can effectively distinguish between sampled and unsampled samples.

[0024] 3. The support rod is an electrically retractable structure. The distance between the carrier plate and the camera can be changed by adjusting the length of the support rod, making it easier to place samples of different sizes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model is described in detail.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1-3As shown, a sample image acquisition device includes an image acquisition mechanism, the image acquisition mechanism includes a mounting plate 301, a first image acquisition mechanism 303 and a second image acquisition mechanism 304 are provided on the mounting plate 301, a sample carrying mechanism is provided between the first image acquisition mechanism 303 and the second image acquisition mechanism 304, the sample carrying mechanism includes a fixed block 306, a through groove 307 is provided on the fixed block 306, a carrying plate 309 is slidably connected to the through groove 307 via a sliding mechanism, a detection mechanism is provided on the carrying plate 309, and the first image acquisition mechanism 303, the second image acquisition mechanism 304 and the detection mechanism are all electrically connected to a control system. The sample can be placed on the carrier plate 309. When the detection mechanism detects that there is a sample on the carrier plate 309, the first image acquisition mechanism 303 or the second image acquisition mechanism 304 can be automatically started. When the image acquisition is completed, the carrier plate moves to the bottom of the other image acquisition mechanism, so that the sample is separated from the carrier plate 309, so that the operator knows that the image acquisition has ended and can perform subsequent operations. The next image acquisition can be placed on the second image acquisition mechanism 304 on the other side. The image acquisition can be completed automatically without the need to hold the image acquisition device, thereby improving the image acquisition efficiency.

[0035] In this embodiment, the control system is a PLC controller, and the PLC controller is electrically connected to a computer for storing images.

[0036] In this embodiment, the fixing block 306 is connected to a support rod 305, which is an electrically retractable structure. The support rod 305 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 301 and can be removed by rotating it. The length of the support rod 305 can be adjusted to change the distance between the support plate 309 and the first image acquisition mechanism 303 and the second image acquisition mechanism 304, facilitating the placement of samples of different sizes.

[0037] In this embodiment, the detection mechanism is a pressure sensor, and both the first image acquisition mechanism 303 and the second image acquisition mechanism 304 are high-definition waterproof cameras. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the control system, and the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor can be transmitted to the controller and then sent to the computer for storage.

[0038] In this embodiment, the sliding mechanism includes a motor 310 mounted on the inner wall of the through-slot 307. A gear 311 is connected to the output end of the motor 310. A rack 312 meshing with the gear 311 is provided on the support plate 309. The motor 310 drives the gear 311 to rotate, thereby moving the rack 312 meshing with the gear 311. This rotation is converted into horizontal movement, thereby driving the support plate 309 to move left and right. The motor 310 is a bidirectional motor that can drive the gear 311 to rotate in either the forward or reverse direction, thereby moving the support plate 309 left and right.

[0039] In this embodiment, a scale 313 is provided on the supporting plate 309. The scale 313 can be used to roughly understand the size of the sample during image acquisition.

[0040] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 301 can be connected to the carrier by conventional means, for example, the mounting plate 301 is bolted to a support base, so that it stands on the desktop through the support base. The distance between the carrier plate and the desktop is 1-2 cm, and a receiving tray can be placed on the desktop to catch the fallen samples.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 When using this device, it is only necessary to place the sample whose image needs to be captured on the carrier plate 309. When the pressure sensor on the carrier plate 309 senses a sudden increase in pressure, the control system controls the first image acquisition mechanism to start capturing images. The size of the sample can be understood through the scale 313. After the sampling is completed, the motor 310 is started, driving the gear 311 to rotate, so that the carrier plate 309 moves to the bottom of the second image acquisition mechanism. When the operator finds that the sample has fallen, the operator can perform subsequent operations on the sample. When it is necessary to capture an image again, the sample is placed on the carrier plate 309 below the second image acquisition mechanism and the above operation is repeated.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] This embodiment is substantially the same as Example 1, differing in that it further includes a sample transport mechanism. A wedge-shaped guide block 308 is provided on one side of the carrier plate 309, one side of which abuts against the sample transport mechanism, which is a conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 and the wedge-shaped guide block 308 cooperate to automatically transport samples from the conveyor belt 2 to the carrier plate 309. After sampling, the sample can be placed directly on the carrier plate 309 below the image acquisition mechanism on the other side for image capture. After sampling, the carrier plate 309 moves back to the side with unsampled samples, effectively distinguishing between sampled and unsampled samples.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as Example 2, except that: this embodiment is a sampling table 1 containing the sample image acquisition device of Example 2, a groove is provided on the table surface of the sampling table 1, the conveyor belt 2 is arranged in the groove, and a telescopic column 302 is provided on the sampling table 1, and the end of the telescopic column 302 is connected to the top of the sampling table 1. After the sample image acquisition device is placed on the sampling table 1 for image acquisition, sampling can be carried out directly, which is convenient to use.

[0046] The above-described embodiments merely represent specific implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the technical concept of the present application, and all such variations and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
