Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and more specifically, to a cryogenic workstation. Background Technology

[0002] In routine pathological work, to make an accurate pathological diagnosis, it is generally necessary to take a lesion tissue of a certain size and prepare it into pathological sections so that the development of the lesion can be observed under a microscope. One way to prepare pathological sections is through frozen sections. Frozen sections are a method of freezing fresh tissue specimens to a certain degree of hardness using physical cooling, and then sectioning them. This involves several steps, including sampling, freezing, sectioning, mounting, staining, and sealing, and each step is crucial.

[0003] As can be seen, the preparation of the above-mentioned pathological sections involves many steps, all of which are completed by a pathologist. This inevitably results in a large amount of work information requiring comparison and confirmation by a pathologist, which may lead to the pathological tissues not being processed according to the standard preparation sequence. Consequently, the final pathological sections have a certain error rate and will also affect the efficiency of pathological section preparation.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a device that can help standardize the preparation of pathological slides. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a freezing workstation to assist pathologists in completing the freezing, sectioning and mounting of pathological tissues in sequence, thereby effectively avoiding errors in pathological sections due to disorder of these three steps, and also improving the efficiency of pathological section preparation to a certain extent.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this utility model embodiment is as follows:

[0007] This utility model embodiment provides a freezing workstation, including:

[0008] An ice-cutting machine includes a body, a freezing mechanism, and a slicing mechanism. The body is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the freezing mechanism and the slicing mechanism. The freezing mechanism is used to freeze pathological specimens, and the slicing mechanism is used to slice the frozen pathological specimens.

[0009] A display device is installed on the machine body and is used to display the freezing station in the freezing mechanism;

[0010] A scanning device, disposed within the machine body, is used to scan the label corresponding to the pathological specimen; and

[0011] A printing device, disposed on the machine body, is used to copy the label information scanned by the scanning device and print out the copied label, and / or to print the label information scanned by the scanning device onto a glass slide; wherein the copied label is used to attach to a specimen holder for holding the pathological specimen, and the glass slide is used to hold the slice formed by the slicing mechanism.

[0012] In an optional implementation, the printing device includes a label printer and a slide printer, wherein the label printer is used to print out the copied label, and the slide printer is used to print the label information scanned by the scanning device onto a glass slide.

[0013] In an optional implementation, the printing device includes a slide printer, and the scanning device and the slide printer are integrated into one unit.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the display device, the scanning device, and the printing device are arranged sequentially on the top surface of the machine body; and / or, the display device and the freezing mechanism are located on the same side of the machine body.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the display device, the label printer, and the integrated scanning device and the slide printer are arranged sequentially on the top surface of the machine body; and / or, the display device and the freezing mechanism are located on the same side of the machine body.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the freezing workstation further includes a support platform; the support platform is disposed on the top surface of the machine body, and the support platform is provided with at least one of the following: embedding cassette slot, slide slot, embedding agent slot, and blade slot.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the support platform is provided with an embedding cassette holder, a slide holder, and an embedding agent holder; the embedding cassette holder is located on the top surface of the support platform near the front of the ice cutter, and the slide holder and the embedding agent holder are located opposite each other on the top surface of the support platform near the back of the ice cutter.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the freezing workstation further includes a support frame; the display device is mounted on the top of the platform or the body via the support frame.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the support frame is a universal support frame; and / or, the ice cutter further includes a display screen; and / or, the scanning device further includes a display screen.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the display module is further configured to output a prompt message when the pathological specimen in the freezing mechanism meets the set freezing time.

[0021] The cryopreservation workstation provided in this embodiment integrates an ice cutter including a freezing mechanism and a slicing mechanism, a display device for displaying the freezing station in the freezing mechanism, a scanning device for scanning the labels corresponding to pathological specimens, and a printing device for printing and copying labels and / or label information on slides. This allows the freezing, label mapping, slicing, and mounting processes of pathological specimens to be completed sequentially within the same workstation. This avoids errors in these processes that could lead to errors in the pathological slides, thus reducing the error rate. The reduced error rate also improves the efficiency of producing accurate pathological slides. The display device showing the freezing station in the freezing mechanism helps pathologists correctly place the pathological specimens by referring to the display device and the freezing station in the freezing mechanism. The scanning and printing devices enable the copying and printing of label information for pathological specimens, avoiding errors caused by manual transcription.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that when terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" are mentioned, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the corresponding drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" may simply mean that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0034] To address the technical problems in related technologies where the preparation of pathological slides requires pathologists to perform multiple comparisons and confirmations at various stages, resulting in a heavy workload, a certain error rate, and low production efficiency, this utility model provides a freezing workstation. By integrating an ice cutter including a freezing mechanism and a slicing mechanism, a display device for showing the freezing station in the freezing mechanism, a scanning device for scanning labels corresponding to pathological specimens, and a printing device for printing and copying labels and / or label information on slides, the freezing, label mapping, slicing, and mounting stages of pathological specimens can be completed sequentially within the same workstation. This avoids errors in these stages that could lead to errors in the pathological slides, reducing the error rate. The reduced error rate also improves the efficiency of producing correct pathological slides to some extent. The display device shows the freezing station in the freezing unit, which helps pathologists correctly place pathological specimens by referring to the display device and the freezing station in the freezing unit. The use of scanning and printing equipment allows for the copying and printing of label information for pathological specimens, avoiding errors caused by manual transcription. This can better reduce the error rate of pathological slides, improve the efficiency of pathological slide preparation, and reduce the workload of pathologists.

[0035] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a partial perspective view of the front structure of a freezing workstation provided in an embodiment of the present invention; the freezing workstation 100 includes an ice cutter 110, a display device 120, a scanning device 130, and a printing device 140.

[0036] The cryosurgical machine 110 includes a body 111, a freezing mechanism 112, and a slicing mechanism 113. The body 111 has a receiving cavity for accommodating the freezing mechanism 112 and the slicing mechanism 113. The freezing mechanism 112 is used to freeze pathological specimens and has multiple freezing stations, each for holding one pathological specimen. The slicing mechanism 113 is used to slice the frozen pathological specimens and has a slicing unit and a clamping unit. The specific implementation structure of the freezing mechanism 112 can adopt the structure of a freezing mechanism 112 for freezing pathological specimens in related technologies, and the specific implementation structure of the slicing mechanism 113 can also refer to related technologies; therefore, it will not be described in detail here.

[0037] The display device 120 is disposed on the body 111 and is used to display the freezing stations in the freezing mechanism 112. It is understood that the display device 120 can be connected to a camera whose shooting range covers the freezing stations of the freezing mechanism 112. In this way, the display device 120 can display images captured in real time by the camera, thereby displaying the freezing stations in the freezing mechanism 112. Alternatively, pathology technicians can input a freezing station template with the same layout as the freezing stations in the freezing mechanism 112 into the display device 120 to display the freezing stations in the freezing mechanism 112. Or, before the freezing workstation leaves the factory, production personnel can pre-configure a freezing station template with the same layout as the freezing station in the freezing mechanism 112 into the display device 120. Thus, when the display device 120 is started, the pre-configured freezing workstation template can be retrieved for display.

[0038] The scanning device 130 is disposed on the body 111 and is used to scan the label corresponding to the pathological specimen.

[0039] The printing device 140 is disposed on the body 111 and is used to copy the label information scanned by the scanning device 130 and print out the copied label, and / or to print the label information scanned by the scanning device 130 onto a glass slide. The copied label is attached to a specimen holder for holding the pathological specimen, and the glass slide is used to hold the slices formed by the slicing mechanism 113.

[0040] The working principle of the freezing workstation 100 provided in this embodiment of the present invention will be explained below:

[0041] After pathology technicians retrieve the pathology specimens from the pathology sampling room, they can input relevant information about the specimens using the computer equipment in the sampling room. This information includes, but is not limited to, the specimen source, specimen code, and sampling time. Other information may also be included; please refer to relevant technical documents for details, which will not be elaborated here. Next, the pathology technicians place the embedding cassette containing the pathology specimens onto the printing machine, and then use the computer equipment to control the printing machine to print a label containing the aforementioned relevant information on the outer shell of the embedding cassette.

[0042] Next, please refer to Figure 1 When a pathologist brings an embedding cassette containing a pathological specimen to the cryopreservation workstation 100 provided in this embodiment, they can first scan the label outside the embedding cassette using a scanning device 130. The scanning device 130 will then activate a printing device 140 to copy and print the label information currently scanned by the scanning device 130, outputting a copied label. Subsequently, the pathologist can remove the specimen tray from the cryopreservation unit 112 of the cryo-cutting machine 110 and affix the copied label to the tray. Then, the pathologist can place the pathological specimen on the specimen tray. As can be seen, the process of transferring the pathological specimen from the embedding cassette to the specimen tray is continuous and does not require manual copying of the original label. This avoids the problem of discrepancies between the label and the pathological specimen caused by manual rewriting or hand-transferring of labels during the transfer process.

[0043] After placing the pathological specimen on the specimen tray, the pathologist can use the display device 120 to mark the required freezing station for the specimen, and then place the specimen in the corresponding freezing station in the freezing mechanism 112. Alternatively, after scanning the label information on the embedding cassette, the pathologist can assign a freezing station to the current pathological specimen via the server, and display the assigned freezing station in a selected state on the display device 120. The display device 120 can also play an audio prompt to guide the pathologist to place the specimen in the appropriate freezing station. Furthermore, the freezing station template displayed on the display device 120 can also display the pathological specimen's label information for the corresponding freezing station.

[0044] After placing the pathological specimen in the corresponding freezing station of the freezing unit 112, the pathologist can input a freezing timer command through the display device 120. The display device 120 will then start timing from the moment it receives the command until the required freezing time for the corresponding pathological specimen is reached. Alternatively, when the scanning device 130 scans the label corresponding to the current pathological sample, it can send the scanned label information to the backend server. Upon receiving the label information, the backend server can determine whether the label information has been recorded. If not, it means the pathological specimen corresponding to the label information has not yet been frozen, and timing will begin. After timing is complete, a timing end command will be sent to the display device 120. If the label has been recorded, it means the pathological specimen corresponding to the label has been frozen and meets the sectioning requirements. At this point, the backend server can output a slide numbering command to the printing device 140 to print the label information scanned by the scanning device 130 onto the slide.

[0045] As can be seen from the above, after the freezing timer is completed, regardless of the implementation method, the display device 120 can output a prompt message when the timer ends, that is, when a certain pathological specimen in the freezing mechanism 112 meets the corresponding set freezing time. The prompt message can be output in at least one of the following forms:

[0046] The first method involves the display device 120 highlighting or marking the freezing stations corresponding to pathological specimens that meet the set freezing time in the freezing station template, thereby visually indicating to pathologists that the corresponding pathological specimens have met the sectioning requirements and can be sectioned.

[0047] The second method involves the display device 120 outputting a voice message: "Pathological specimen YY at freezing station X has met the requirements for sectioning and can be removed for sectioning." Here, "X" can be replaced with the actual freezing station number, and "YY" represents the specimen number. For example, "Pathological specimen 15 at freezing station 5 has met the requirements for sectioning and can be removed for sectioning." It should be understood that this is just one example; in other examples, it can be replaced with other relevant content, as long as it informs the pathologist which freezing station's specimen meets the sectioning requirements.

[0048] Therefore, the display device 120 can prompt pathologists to perform sectioning operations in a timely manner, avoiding the pathological specimens from being frozen for too long and causing qualitative changes. It can also ensure that the preparation process of pathological specimens is carried out in an orderly manner, further ensuring the accuracy of pathological specimen preparation.

[0049] After freezing, pathologists can remove the corresponding pathological specimen from the freezing unit 112. They then place the label from the specimen holder onto the scanning area of ​​the scanning device 130 to trigger the scanning device 130 to activate the printing device 140. The printing device 140 then prints the label information currently scanned by the scanning device 130 onto a glass slide, ensuring that the label information on the slide matches the label information corresponding to the pathological specimen. Subsequently, the pathologist can clamp the specimen holder containing the pathological specimen in the clamping unit of the slicing mechanism 113. By operating the slicing unit of the slicing mechanism 113, the pathological specimen is sliced ​​into sections. These sections are then mounted onto the slides printed with the corresponding label information, completing the mounting process. It is evident that by scanning the specimen tray with labels and printing relevant label information on the slides after freezing, the slides can be placed on slides with labels that match the label information of the pathological specimens. This effectively avoids the problem of discrepancies between the label information of the slides and the pathological specimens caused by manual handover or label comparison after the pathological specimens have been prepared, and helps to further improve the accuracy of the prepared pathological slides.

[0050] It should be noted that the core protection of this utility model lies in the mechanical structure implementation scheme of the proposed frozen workstation 100, and does not involve the server's frozen workstation allocation, frozen timing, or other algorithmic steps, nor does it improve these algorithmic steps. Moreover, as can be seen from the above, the frozen workstation allocation and frozen timing implemented using a server are only optional solutions, not necessary solutions for the frozen workstation 100 proposed in this utility model.

[0051] In some embodiments, to enable the printing device 140 to distinguish between different print jobs and avoid print job confusion, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a partial perspective view of the front structure of another freezing workstation provided in this embodiment of the present invention. The printing device 140 includes a label printer 141 and a slide printer 142. The label printer 141 is used to print out the copied label, and the slide printer 142 is used to print the label information scanned by the scanning device 130 onto a glass slide. For specific implementations of the label printer 141 and the slide printer 142, please refer to related technologies, which will not be elaborated here.

[0052] It should be noted that in other modified embodiments, if there is a need to improve the integration of the device, the printing device 140 may integrate the functions of a label printer 141 and a slide printer 142.

[0053] In some embodiments, to further improve the integration of the freezing workstation 100 provided by this utility model and thus improve product performance, please continue reading. Figure 2The printing device 140 includes a slide printer 142, and the scanning device 130 and the slide printer 142 can be integrated into one unit. For example, a slide numbering machine from related technologies can be used as an integrated device to replace the scanning device 130 and the slide printer 142. Alternatively, the scanning device, the slide printer, and the label printer can all be integrated into one unit.

[0054] In some embodiments, to further improve the operational efficiency of pathologists performing freezing, sectioning, and mounting procedures using the cryostat workstation 100 provided in this utility model embodiment, the relative positions of the display device 120, scanning device 130, and printing device 140 have also been optimized. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The display device 120, the scanning device 130, and the printing device 140 are arranged sequentially on the top surface of the machine body 111; and / or, the display device 120 and the freezing mechanism 112 are located on the same side of the machine body 111. Therefore, arranging the display device 120, scanning device 130, and printing device 140 in sequence according to the actual operating order of pathologists performing freezing, sectioning, and mounting improves the operational experience for pathologists and avoids the need for them to move around between multiple operating positions (display device 120, scanning device 130, and printing device 140), thus reducing section preparation efficiency. Furthermore, placing the display device 120 and the freezing mechanism 112 on the same side of the machine body 111 makes it easier for pathologists to compare and view the freezing station on the display device and in the freezing mechanism.

[0055] Based on the previous embodiment, to meet the operating habits of most pathology technicians and further improve user experience and slide preparation efficiency, please continue to refer to... Figure 1 The display device 120, the scanning device 130, and the printing device 140 can be arranged sequentially from left to right on the top surface of the body 111.

[0056] Based on the embodiment where the scanning device 130 and the slide printer 142 are integrated, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The arrangement order of the display device 120, scanning device 130, and printing device 140 can be adjusted as follows: the display device 120, the label printer 141, and the integrated scanning device 130 and slide printer 142 are arranged sequentially on the top surface of the machine body 111. And / or, the display device 120 and the freezing mechanism 112 are located on the same side of the machine body 111. This can also improve the operational experience of pathology technicians and the efficiency of slide preparation. Furthermore, placing the display device 120 and the freezing mechanism 112 on the same side of the machine body 111 makes it easier for pathology technicians to compare and view the freezing station in the display device and the freezing mechanism.

[0057] Furthermore, since the preparation of pathological sections involves the placement of embedding cassettes, embedding agents, and slides, as well as the replacement or backup of the cutting blade in the sectioning mechanism, in some embodiments, to facilitate the placement of these items and further simplify the sectioning operations for pathology technicians, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference needed]. Figure 2 and 3 , Figure 3 This is a top view of a freezing workstation 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The freezing workstation 100 provided in this embodiment of the present invention may further include a support platform 150. The support platform 150 is disposed on the top surface of the body 111, and the support platform 150 is provided with at least one of the following: embedding box slot 151, slide slot 152, embedding agent slot 153, and blade slot (not shown in the figure).

[0058] Similarly, based on the previous embodiment, to further facilitate pathologists in handling and placing the embedding cassette, slide, and embedding medium, thereby improving their operational experience and efficiency, in some embodiments, the relative positions of the embedding cassette slot 151, the slide slot 152, and the embedding medium slot 153 are also considered. Please refer to the following... Figure 3 The support platform 150 is provided with an embedding cassette holder 151, a slide holder 152, and an embedding medium holder 153. The embedding cassette holder 151 is located on the top surface of the support platform 150 near the front of the ice cutter 110, while the slide holder 152 and the embedding medium holder 153 are located opposite each other on the top surface of the support platform 150 near the back of the ice cutter 110. Therefore, by placing the embedding cassette holder 151 on the front side of the top surface of the support platform 150, and the slide holder 152 and the embedding medium holder 153 on the left and right sides of the rear side of the top surface of the support platform 150, it avoids obstructing objects behind the embedding medium holder 153. Furthermore, the relative positions of the three components are based on the operating habits and sectioning procedures of most pathologists, thus facilitating the handling and placement of the embedding cassette, slides, and embedding medium by pathologists, thereby improving their operating experience and efficiency.

[0059] In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the display device 120, the freezing workstation 100 provided in this utility model embodiment may further include a support frame 160. Based on this, in embodiments where the freezing workstation 100 does not include a support table 150, the display device 120 can be mounted on the top of the body 111 via the support frame 160. In embodiments where the freezing workstation 100 includes a support table 150, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The display device 120 can be mounted on top of the support 150 via the support frame 160.

[0060] Based on the previous embodiment, in order to enable the display device 120 to meet the needs of pathology technicians for multi-directional viewing, in some embodiments, the support frame 160 can be a universal support frame.

[0061] In some embodiments, to help pathology technicians understand the operating status of the cryosurgical machine 110, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 The cryoablation machine 110 may also include a display screen A, which can display the working status of the cryoablation machine 110. Pathology technicians can also control the working status of the cryoablation machine 110 through the display screen A. For the specific control principle, please refer to the relevant technology, which will not be explained in detail here.

[0062] Similarly, in some embodiments, to facilitate pathology technicians' understanding of the operating status of the scanning device 130, the scanning device 130 may also include a display screen, which can display the operating status of the scanning device 130. Furthermore, in the case where the scanning device 130 and the slide printer 142 are integrated, please refer to... Figure 2 The integrated device may also include a display screen B. Thus, the display screen B allows pathology technicians to easily monitor the operating status of the scanning device 130 and / or the slide printer 142.

[0063] It is worth noting that the technical features or technical solutions in any of the above embodiments of this utility model can be combined or integrated with each other, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination or integration.

[0064] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
