[0038] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following examples and features in the examples can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0039] As Figures 1-2 shown, according to the first aspect of the present application, the present application provides a loading assembly 10 for use in a pathological section scanning instrument, so that the pathological section scanning instrument transfers different specifications of slide racks 200 through the loading assembly 10 to scan the sections 300, without limiting the slide racks 200 conveying the sections 300 to a specific length, thereby improving the versatility of the pathological section scanning instrument, simple structure, convenient operation, and wide applicability. Among them, each specification of the slide rack 200 is different in size or the same, especially the length of the slide rack 200. Therefore, the present application enables the loading and unloading mechanism 100 in the pathological section scanning instrument to be applicable to the conveying of different specifications of the slide rack 200 through the loading assembly 10, thereby avoiding the case that the loading and unloading mechanism 100 is only applicable to one specification of the slide rack 200, and further improving the versatility of the pathological section scanning instrument.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, as Figures 1-4As shown, the loading assembly 10 comprises a loading seat 11 and a positioning assembly 12, the positioning assembly 12 comprises a pushing structure 121 and a positioning part 122, the positioning part 122 is connected with the pushing structure 121, so that the positioning part 122 can abut against the side wall of the slide rack 200 under the drive of the pushing structure 121 to form a limit. Wherein, the loading seat 11 is formed with a containing groove 11a for placing the slide rack 200, the pushing structure 121 is fixed on the loading seat 11, and the positioning part 122 is movably installed in the containing groove 11a and can move in the first direction to limit the slide rack 200 in the containing groove 11a, so as to limit the slide rack 200, have the positioning effect, avoid the movement of the slide rack 200 relative to the loading seat 11, facilitate the safety of the slices in the loading and unloading process of the slide rack 200, avoid the problem of slice fragmentation in the slide rack 200, simple and reliable structure, and convenient operation, improve the versatility and repeatability of the pathological slice scanner in operation process.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the slide rack 200 is fixed in the containing groove 11a along the vertical direction, the length direction of the slide rack 200 is consistent with the length direction of the containing groove 11a, and the slices 300 are vertically placed in the slide rack 200, that is, the length direction of the slices 300 is perpendicular to the length direction of the slide rack 200 and the containing groove 11a.

[0042] For example, the conveying assembly 20 of the loading and unloading mechanism 100 has a slice feeding station and a slice moving-out station. When the pathological slice scanner needs to scan the slices 300 in the slide rack 200, the slide rack 200 containing the slices 300 is placed in the containing groove 11a, and then the pushing structure 121 drives the positioning part 122 to move towards the slide rack 200, so that the positioning part 122 abuts against the side wall of the slide rack 200 to press the slide rack 200 and form a limit. Then the conveying assembly 20 of the loading and unloading mechanism 100 conveys the loading assembly 10 containing the slide rack 200 to the slice moving-out station, so that the material moving assembly of the loading and unloading mechanism 100 can move the slices 300 on the slide rack 200 to the stage of the pathological slice scanner for scanning. After the slices 300 on the stage are scanned, the material moving assembly moves the slices 300 back to the slide rack 200, so that the conveying assembly 20 can convey the scanned slide rack 200 back to the slice feeding station. Through the positioning of the positioning assembly 12, the positioning of the slide rack 200 in the containing groove 11a is facilitated, so as to ensure the accuracy of the relative position and facilitate the subsequent removal of a single slice 300 from the slide rack 200.

[0043] When the slice rack 200 needs to be taken out from the loading assembly 10, the advancing structure 121 drives the positioning part 122 to move away from the slice rack 200, so as to realize automatic loosening of the slice rack 200, so that the slice rack 200 can be taken out and accommodated in the accommodation groove 11a. The whole structure is simple and reliable, and the operation process is simplified and convenient. Not only can the working efficiency of the pathological slice scanner be improved, but also the loading assembly 10 can be applied to different specifications of the slice rack 200, and different lengths of the slice rack 200 can be clamped, so that the versatility is high.

[0044] It should be noted that the loading assembly 10 of the present application can also be applied in other scenarios, such as conveying the slice rack 200, but is not limited to between the slice feeding station and the slice moving station. Herein, the present application does not enumerate one by one.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figures 3-7 The advancing structure 121 includes a driving piece 1211 and a transmission piece 1212. The driving piece 1211 is installed on the loading seat 11, and the positioning part 122 is in transmission connection with the driving piece 1211 through the transmission piece 1212, so that the positioning part 122 can abut on the slice rack 200 under the driving of the driving piece 1211 to form a limit, so as to ensure that the slice rack 200 can be stably placed in the accommodation groove 11a. Especially in the process of conveying the loading assembly 10 by the conveying assembly 20, the slice 300 is easy to be damaged due to sliding, collision and the like of the slice rack 200 in the accommodation groove 11a.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the positioning assembly 12 includes a first guide structure 123 and a fixing piece 124. The driving piece 1211 is fixed on the loading seat 11 through the fixing piece 124. One end of the first guide structure 123 is fixedly connected with the positioning part 122, and the other end of the first guide structure 123 is in sliding connection with the fixing piece 124. The positioning part 122 can uniformly apply pressure on the slice rack 200 in combination with the first guide structure 123. The first guide structure 123 not only limits the sliding track of the positioning part 122, so that the positioning part 122 is not easy to deviate in the sliding process, but also improves the stability of the positioning part 122 in the sliding in the accommodation groove 11a, and improves the abutting effect with the slice rack 200.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the fixing member 124 is provided with a second guide structure and a mounting portion, the second guide structure and the mounting portion are arranged at intervals along the height of the fixing member 124, the other end of the first guide structure 123 is matched with the second guide structure, and the driving member 1211 is mounted on the mounting portion, so that the driving member 1211 can drive the positioning portion 122 to move along the guide direction of the first guide structure 123, and ensure that the positioning portion 122 is not easy to deviate during movement. The second guide structure is matched with the first guide structure 123, and is used to limit the movement track of the first guide structure 123.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the driving member 1211 includes a driving motor, and the transmission member 1212 includes a screw rod assembly, the screw rod assembly includes a screw rod and a sliding block, the output shaft of the driving motor is connected with the screw rod through a shaft coupling after passing through the mounting portion, and the sliding block is fixed on the positioning portion 122, so that the screw rod can drive the sliding block to slide along the guide direction of the first guide structure 123 under the driving of the driving motor, and in turn drive the positioning portion 122 to move towards or away from one side of the slice rack 200, so that the positioning portion 122 can compress or loosen the slice rack 200, and the structure is simple and occupies small space.

[0049] It should be noted that the transmission member 1212 can also be other transmission assemblies, such as a worm gear, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the positioning portion 122 has a connecting portion 1221 and a buffer portion 1222, the pushing structure 121 is connected with the connecting portion 1221, and the buffer portion 1222 is arranged on the side of the connecting portion 1221 facing the slice rack 200. During the movement of the positioning portion 122 towards the slice rack 200, the buffer portion 1222 can reduce the impact force of the positioning portion 122 on the slice rack 200, and in turn protect the slices 300 in the slice rack 200.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the buffer portion 1222 includes a first elastic member and a structural member, the structural member is movably connected with the connecting portion 1221, and the two ends of the first elastic member are respectively abutted with the structural member and the connecting portion 1221, so that the first elastic member always maintains an elastic force to the structural member to drive the structural member to move to one side of the slice rack 200, for absorbing the energy after the collision between the positioning portion 122 and the slice rack 200, and avoiding the damage of the slices 300 in the slice rack 200 caused by the direct collision of the slice rack 200.

[0052] In an optional implementation, the connecting portion 1221 comprises an abutting block and a clamping block, the first installation slot and the second installation slot are arranged at intervals in the height direction of the abutting block, the first guide structure 123 is installed in the first installation slot through the clamping block, and the sliding block is installed in the second installation slot. The position of the first installation slot corresponds to the position of the second guide structure, and the position of the second installation slot corresponds to the position of the installation portion.

[0053] In an optional implementation, the positioning assembly 12 comprises a first limiting structure 125, the loading seat 11 is provided with a second limiting structure, one end of the first limiting structure 125 is fixedly connected with the positioning portion 122, and the other end of the first limiting structure 125 is movably installed in the second limiting structure, so that the driving piece 1211 can drive the positioning portion 122 to move in the guide direction of the first limiting structure 125, and it is ensured that the positioning portion 122 is not prone to deviation during movement.

[0054] In an optional implementation, as shown in Figure 2 , Figures 4-7 As shown in the above technical solutions, on the one hand, one side of each slice 300 can be close to the slice groove 202 of the slice rack 200, so as to avoid shaking during movement and maintain the stability of the slice 300 during transfer; on the other hand, since one side of the slice 300 has pathological tissues and cover glasses to be analyzed, and there are chemical reagents therein, leaning on the other side can protect the side.

[0055] For example, the side of the base 111 away from the positioning assembly 12 is inclined, so that the slice rack 200 placed in the accommodating groove 11a can be inclined away from the positioning assembly 12, that is, the slice 300 in the slice rack 200 can be inclined to the left side of the slice rack 200. This not only avoids the slice 300 in the slice rack 200 from being inclined to the right side, that is, the inner side of the conveying assembly 20 during transfer of the loading assembly 10, but also avoids the slice 300 from being interfered by the internal structure of the pathological slice scanner during movement, thereby ensuring the safety of the slice 300. At the same time, the mechanical hand of the material moving assembly of the loading and unloading mechanism 100 can quickly clamp the slice 300, and then rotate to the side of the object table, so that the two-dimensional code or handwritten code information on the slice 300 can be directed to the outer side of the object table, so that the image recognition assembly on the object table can read the two-dimensional code or handwritten code information, thereby reducing the angle of rotation of the slice 300.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the inclination angle of the base 111 of the loading seat 11 relative to the horizontal plane is between 1 degree and 10 degrees, so as to ensure the inclination of the slice 300 in the slice holder 200 and facilitate the taking out of the slice 300 from the slice holder 200.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the second limiting structure is formed on the base 111, so that the positioning part 122 can press the slice holder 200 under the joint action of the first guiding structure 123 and the first limiting structure 125, and ensure that the positioning part 122 can uniformly apply pressure to the slice holder 200.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the base 111 includes a first bottom plate 1111 and a second bottom plate 1112, which are arranged in the height direction of the loading seat 11. The accommodating groove 11a is formed at the upper end of the second bottom plate 1112, and the second limiting structure is formed at the lower end of the second bottom plate 1112.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, part of the structure of the positioning part 122 is arranged above the second bottom plate 1112, and the other part of the structure of the positioning part 122 is arranged below the second bottom plate 1112, so that the part of the positioning part 122 above the second bottom plate 1112 can limit the slice holder 200, and the part of the positioning part 122 below the second bottom plate 1112 can cooperate with the first bottom plate 1111 and / or the second bottom plate 1112 to limit the movement direction of the positioning part 122.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figures 4-7 The loading seat 11 includes a first limiting part 112 and a second limiting part 113 arranged in the second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction, the first limiting part 112 cooperating with the second limiting part 113 to limit the position of the slice holder 200 in the second direction, so that the slice holder 200 can be limited in the first direction and the second direction of the accommodating groove 11a, and thus stably placed in the accommodating groove 11a.

[0061] It should be noted that the first direction refers to the length direction of the slide rack 200, and the second direction refers to the width direction of the slide rack 200, that is, the positioning portion 122 is used to limit the position of the slide rack 200 in the length direction, so that the accommodation groove 11a can adapt to slide racks 200 of different lengths; and the first limiting portion 112 cooperates with the second limiting portion 113 to limit the position of the slide rack 200 in the width direction, so that the accommodation groove 11a can adapt to slide racks 200 of different widths. In addition, the present application can also limit only the position of the slide rack 200 in the length direction or the width direction, or the first direction refers to the width direction of the slide rack 200, and the second direction refers to the length direction of the slide rack 200, which is not limited by the present application.

Among them, the first limiting portion 112 is fixedly connected with respect to the front baffle, and the second limiting portion 113 is movably connected with respect to the front baffle. When the slide rack 200 is placed in the accommodation groove 11a, the positioning portion 122 moves towards the side of the front baffle to cooperate with the front baffle to limit the slide rack 200 in the length direction, and the second limiting portion 113 moves towards the side of the first limiting portion 112, or the relative position between the second limiting portion 113 and the first limiting portion 112 has been adjusted before the slide rack 200 is placed in the accommodation groove 11a. In order to cooperate with the first limiting portion 112 and the front baffle to position the slide rack 200, and determine the positioning reference of the slide rack 200 in the accommodation groove 11a through the fixed connection of the first limiting portion 112 and the front baffle. Therefore, not only can different sizes of slide racks 200 be compatible with each other, but also the positioning of the slide rack 200 is facilitated to ensure the accuracy of the relative position and facilitate the subsequent removal of a single slice from the slide rack 200.

The minimum distance between the second limiting part 113 and the first limiting part 112 is matched with the width of the base 111, so as to limit the movement distance of the second limiting part 113. When the conveying assembly 20 conveys the loading assembly 10 to the slice feeding station, the third limiting structure releases the limitation of the second limiting part 113, so as to facilitate the slice rack 200 to be taken out of the loading assembly 10.
