Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fully automatic staining and mounting integrated machine, specifically a fully automatic staining and mounting integrated machine for medical testing. Background Technology
[0002] Staining tissue sections with staining techniques to observe and determine whether there are lesions or the degree of lesions is a widely used technique in current pathological diagnosis. With the rapid development of science and technology, the use of fully automated pathological staining and mounting machines to stain and mount tissue sections has gradually replaced manual staining and mounting methods.
[0003] In fully automatic staining and mounting machines, the staining rack of the slides is immersed in the staining agent by a robotic arm during staining. Since the staining agent is in a static state, an "air film" phenomenon may exist on the surface of the slides, causing cavitation and resulting in poor contact between the staining agent and the slides, thus greatly reducing the staining effect. Therefore, in order to eliminate the "air film" phenomenon on the surface of the slides and ensure that each slide is fully mixed and stained with the staining agent, a fully automatic staining and mounting machine for medical testing is provided. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fully automatic staining and mounting machine for medical testing in order to solve the problems mentioned above.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic staining and mounting machine for medical testing, comprising a main body and a three-axis moving robotic arm. The main body has a control terminal, a mounting chamber, and a staining chamber arranged sequentially along the horizontal direction on its inner side. The three-axis moving robotic arm is installed inside the staining chamber. A placement slot is provided on the top of the platform of the staining chamber. A staining assembly is provided inside the placement slot. The staining assembly includes a holding unit and a stirring unit.
[0006] The holding unit is used to provide space for the staining agent and also to provide space for staining the slides;
[0007] The stirring unit is used to agitate the staining agent inside the holding unit to ensure sufficient contact between the staining agent and the slide.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the holding unit includes a dyeing box and a positioning groove;
[0009] The dyeing box is placed inside the placement slot to provide space for the dyeing agent;
[0010] The positioning slots are symmetrically located on both sides of the top of the staining box, and are used to provide positioning and placement limits for the staining rack of the slides.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the stirring unit includes a fixed screw cylinder, a protective cover, a through-hole groove, and a magnetic stir bar;
[0012] The fixing screw is fixed at the center of the bottom of the inner wall of the dyeing box. The protective cover is threaded to the outside of the fixing screw. The through-hole groove is opened on the outer wall of the fixing screw and the protective cover to keep the cavity formed by the fixing screw and the protective cover in communication with the inner cavity of the dyeing box.
[0013] The magnetic stir bar is distributed in the cavity formed by the fixed screw cylinder and the protective cover. The area below the placement slot inside the three-axis moving robotic arm is equipped with a disk for driving the magnetic stir bar to rotate and a drive motor for driving the disk to rotate. The drive motor drives the disk to rotate, thereby driving the magnetic stir bar to rotate, which is used to agitate the dye inside the dyeing box.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: the top of both sides of the inner wall of the placement groove is provided with a limiting slot, and the bottom of the inner wall of the limiting slot is provided with a threaded hole groove.
[0015] The dyeing box has symmetrically fixed limit blocks on both sides of its outer wall, and the limit blocks are engaged with the inner side of the limit slot.
[0016] The top of the limiting block is provided with a locking bolt. The locking bolt is threaded to the limiting block, passes through the limiting block, and is threaded to the threaded hole groove to realize the fixing operation of the dyeing box.
[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model: the protective cover has multiple through-hole slots on its side and top, and after the protective cover and the fixing screw are fully tightened, the through-hole slots on the fixing screw are aligned with some of the through-hole slots on the protective cover.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] By setting up a staining assembly with a stirring unit, when the three-axis moving robotic arm moves the staining rack of the slide into the staining box, the drive motor is started to drive the disk to rotate. The disk drives the magnetic stir bar to rotate. The rotating magnetic stir bar causes the staining solution inside the staining box to flow. The flowing staining solution can eliminate the "air film" phenomenon that may exist on the surface of the slide. The staining agent can fully contact the slide, so that the slide is completely stained, effectively improving the staining quality. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a fully automatic staining and sealing machine for medical testing includes a staining and sealing machine 1 consisting of a main body 101 and a three-axis moving robotic arm 105. The inner side of the main body 101 is arranged in a horizontal direction with a control terminal 102, a sealing chamber 103, and a staining chamber 104. The three-axis moving robotic arm 105 is installed inside the staining chamber 104. A placement slot 106 is opened on the top of the platform of the staining chamber 104. A staining component 2 is arranged inside the placement slot 106. The staining component 2 includes a holding unit and a stirring unit.
[0027] The holding unit provides space for placing the staining agent and also provides space for staining the slides;
[0028] The stirring unit is used to agitate the staining agent inside the holding unit to ensure full contact between the staining agent and the slide.
[0029] The holding unit includes a dyeing box 201 and a positioning groove 202;
[0030] The staining box 201 is placed inside the placement slot 106 to provide space for the staining agent;
[0031] Positioning grooves 202 are symmetrically provided on the top two sides of the staining box 201 to provide positioning and placement limits for the staining rack of the slides;
[0032] The stirring unit includes a fixed screw cylinder 205, a protective cover 206, a through-hole groove 207, and a magnetic stir bar 208;
[0033] The fixing screw 205 is fixed at the center of the bottom of the inner wall of the dyeing box 201. The protective cover 206 is threaded to the outside of the fixing screw 205. The through hole groove 207 is opened on the outer wall of the fixing screw 205 and the protective cover 206 to keep the cavity formed by the fixing screw 205 and the protective cover 206 in communication with the inner cavity of the dyeing box 201.
[0034] The magnetic stir bar 208 is distributed in the cavity formed by the fixed screw barrel 205 and the protective cover 206. The three-axis moving robotic arm 105 is provided with a disk for driving the magnetic stir bar 208 to rotate and a drive motor for driving the disk to rotate in the area below the placement slot 106. The drive motor drives the disk to rotate, thereby driving the magnetic stir bar 208 to rotate, which is used to agitate the dye inside the dyeing box 201.
[0035] The protective cover 206 has multiple through-hole slots 207 on its side and top. After the protective cover 206 and the fixing screw 205 are fully tightened, the through-hole slots 207 on the fixing screw 205 are aligned with some of the through-hole slots 207 on the protective cover 206.
[0036] In this embodiment, it should be noted that: the staining chamber 104 is used for staining the slides, and the sealing chamber 103 is used for sealing the stained slides. The transport and movement of the slides inside the staining chamber 104 is achieved by a three-axis moving robotic arm 105. The three-axis moving robotic arm 105 is a prior art. The sealing chamber 103 is the same as the corresponding part in the existing staining and sealing integrated machine. Therefore, it will not be described in detail here.
[0037] When the three-axis mobile robotic arm 105 moves the staining rack of the slide into the staining box 201 (it should be noted that: the slide is placed on the staining rack), the top of the staining rack overlaps the inside of the positioning groove 202, while the bottom of the staining rack does not contact the protective cover 206. Then, the drive motor can be started to drive the disk to rotate, and the disk drives the magnetic stir bar 208 to rotate (the cylindrical cover structure composed of the protective cover 206 and the fixed screw 205 is used to limit the rotation area of the magnetic stir bar 208 to avoid contact with the staining rack). The rotating magnetic stir bar 208 can drive the staining solution inside the staining box 201 to flow. The flowing staining solution can eliminate the "air film" phenomenon that may exist on the surface of the slide, and the staining agent can fully contact the slide, so that the slide is completely stained, effectively improving the staining quality.
[0038] It should be noted that each dyeing assembly 2 is independently equipped with a drive motor and a disk at the bottom. The start and stop of the drive motors of each assembly can be controlled by the control terminal, thereby controlling the stirring of the dyeing solution inside each dyeing box 201.
[0039] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 2-4 The upper sides of the inner wall of the placement groove 106 are provided with limiting slots 107, and the bottom of the inner wall of the limiting slots 107 is provided with threaded slots 108.
[0040] The dyeing box 201 has symmetrically fixed limit blocks 203 on both sides of its outer wall, and the limit blocks 203 are engaged with the inner side of the limit slot 107.
[0041] The top of the limiting block 203 is provided with a locking bolt 204. The locking bolt 204 is threadedly connected to the limiting block 203 and passes through the limiting block 203 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole groove 108, which is used to realize the fixing operation of the dyeing box 201.
[0042] In this embodiment, the dyeing box 201 can be fixed by the threaded connection between the locking bolt 204 and the limiting block 203 and the threaded slot 108, thereby ensuring that the dyeing box 201 remains stable when the magnetic stir bar 208 rotates.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
