[0002] Pathological examination samples include blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, serous cavity effusion, nasal / pharyngeal swabs, and pathological tissues. When conducting batch testing on a population, samples need to be collected and placed in a temperature-stable storage box before testing. Existing storage boxes are mostly manually operated, and frequent opening is detrimental to sample preservation. Furthermore, sample management relies entirely on manual labor, resulting in low automation.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a pathological sample storage device to optimize the storage method of samples. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5One embodiment of this application provides a pathological sample 500 storage device, including a housing 100, and a storage component 200, a transfer mechanism 300, and a conveying mechanism 400 disposed within the housing 100. A first drive motor 110 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 100, and an electrically operated opening and closing window 120 is disposed on the side of the housing 100. The electrically operated opening and closing window 120 can automatically open and close under electronic control to facilitate the entry and exit of the sample 500. The storage component 200 includes a cylindrical body 210 and a central shaft 220 connected to the cylindrical body 210. The cylindrical body 210 is rotatably coupled to the housing 100 via the central shaft 220. The first drive motor 110 is driveably connected to the central shaft 220 (e.g., through a reduction gearbox 111 or a synchronous belt), thereby driving the cylindrical body 210 to rotate. The side of the cylindrical body 210 is provided with a row of transfer holes 211 and multiple rows of storage holes 212, all of which are inclined upwards. The transfer hole 211 is used to temporarily place the sample 500 as a transition station, while the receiving hole 212 is used to store the sample 500. Since both the transfer hole 211 and the receiving hole 212 are angled upwards, the sample 500 stored in the test tube can be easily placed into the holes without interference. The vertical position of the transfer hole 211 corresponds to the electrically operated window 120. The transfer mechanism 300 is used to transfer the sample 500 between the transfer hole 211 and the electrically operated window 120, for example, by receiving the sample 500 from the electrically operated window 120 and placing it into the transfer hole 211, or by gripping the sample 500 from the transfer hole 211 and sending it out from the electrically operated window 120. The conveying mechanism 400 is used to transfer the sample 500 between the transfer hole 211 and the receiving hole 212. For example, sample 500 can be picked up from transfer hole 211 and sent to receiving hole 212, or sample 500 can be picked up from receiving hole 212 and sent to transfer hole 211. The outer side of housing 100 also has an operation screen 130 and a receiving platform 140. The operation screen 130 is used to read and input sample 500 information, and the receiving platform 140 is used to place sample 500. The position of the receiving platform 140 corresponds to the electrically operated window 120, specifically, the top surface of the receiving platform 140 is close to the lower edge of the electrically operated window 120. A reading device can also be installed on the receiving platform 140 to read the label information on sample 500.

[0025] When using this device, the operator can place the sample 500 on the receiving platform 140. The transfer mechanism 300 picks up the sample 500 from the receiving platform 140 and places it into any transfer hole 211. When the transfer mechanism 300 needs to pass through the electrically operated window 120, the electrically operated window 120 will automatically open and automatically close after the transfer mechanism 300 resets, thus creating a relatively enclosed storage environment. Then, the first drive motor 110 drives the storage component 200 to rotate, causing the sample 500 to be stored to face the conveying mechanism 400. The conveying mechanism 400 then transports the sample 500 in the transfer hole 211 to the receiving hole 212 for storage. When any sample 500 needs to be retrieved, after receiving an instruction, the first drive motor 110 drives the storage component 200 to rotate, causing the sample 500 to be retrieved to face the conveying mechanism 400. The conveying mechanism 400 then transports the sample 500 located in the receiving hole 212 to the transfer hole 211. Then, the first drive motor 110 drives the storage component 200 to rotate, so that the sample 500 to be taken out rotates to face the electric opening and closing window 120, and the transfer mechanism 300 picks up the sample 500 and places it on the receiving platform 140 outside the electric opening and closing window 120.

[0026] In the above-described technical solution of this application, the pathological sample 500 storage device includes a housing 100, and a storage component 200, a transfer mechanism 300, and a conveying mechanism 400 disposed within the housing 100. The storage component 200 is rotatably coupled to the housing 100 and is provided with a transfer hole 211 and a receiving hole 212 for placing the sample 500. An electrically operated window 120 is provided on the side of the housing 100. The electrically operated window 120 can automatically open and close under electronic control to facilitate the entry and exit of the sample 500, while creating a relatively enclosed storage environment. With the cooperation of the storage component 200, the transfer mechanism 300, the electrically operated window 120, and the conveying mechanism 400, automated handling and management of the sample 500 can be achieved, greatly improving the storage and management efficiency of the sample 500.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the transfer hole 211 is located at one end of the cylindrical body 210 near the base, and the area above the transfer hole 211 is occupied by storage holes 212. (See attached...) Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the cylindrical body 210 can be provided with more than ten rows of storage holes 212, and each row can be provided with more than ten storage holes 212, so it can store hundreds of samples 500.

[0028] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the transfer mechanism 300 may include a swing drive mechanism 310, a first linear drive mechanism 320 disposed on the swing drive mechanism 310, and a first clamping mechanism 330 transmittedly connected to the first linear drive mechanism 320. The swing drive mechanism 310 is connected to the housing 100 and is used to drive the first linear drive mechanism 320 to swing within a horizontal range. The first linear drive mechanism 320 is used to drive the first clamping mechanism 330 along a certain linear direction, and the first clamping mechanism 330 is used to clamp and release the sample 500. Driven by the swing drive mechanism 310, the first clamping mechanism 330 is swung to a position close to the transfer hole 211 or the electrically opening and closing window 120. The first linear drive mechanism 320 further drives the first clamping mechanism 330 forward, thereby smoothly clamping the sample 500 located on the transfer hole 211 or the receiving platform 140. Furthermore, the swing drive mechanism 310 can be a rotary drive cylinder, the first linear drive mechanism 320 can be a linear drive cylinder, and the first clamping mechanism 330 can be a clamping cylinder with grippers. In other embodiments, the swing drive mechanism 310 can also be a motor, the first linear drive mechanism 320 can be a ball screw module, and the first clamping mechanism 330 can be a mechanical gripper or a negative pressure suction structure.

[0029] Please see the appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 Preferably, the conveying mechanism 400 includes a second linear drive mechanism 410 disposed on the housing 100, a third linear drive mechanism 420 pulverizedly connected to the second linear drive mechanism 410, and a second clamping mechanism 430 pulverizedly connected to the third linear drive mechanism 420; the second linear drive mechanism 410 drives the third linear drive mechanism 420 in a vertical direction, the third linear drive mechanism 420 drives the second clamping mechanism 430 in a certain linear direction, and the second clamping mechanism 430 clamps and releases the sample 500. It should be noted that since the sample 500 is placed at an angle on the cylindrical body 210, the first linear drive mechanism 320 and the third linear drive mechanism 420 are also arranged at an angle, not horizontally, for ease of handling.

[0030] In this embodiment, the second linear drive mechanism 410 is vertically mounted on the housing 100, enabling the second clamping mechanism 430 to move vertically between the receiving hole 212 and the transfer hole 211. The third linear drive mechanism 420 further drives the second clamping mechanism 430 forward, thereby smoothly clamping the sample 500 located in the transfer hole 211 or the receiving hole 212. Since the linear displacement required by the second linear drive mechanism 410 is relatively long, the second linear drive mechanism 410 is preferably a rack and pinion mechanism. Specifically, the second linear drive mechanism 410 includes a rack 411, a support base 412, a second drive motor 413, and a linear slide rail 414. The rack 411 and the linear slide rail 414 are arranged parallel to each other on the housing 100 and extend vertically. The support base 412 is slidably engaged with the linear slide rail 414. The second drive motor 413 is installed inside the support base 412, and the output end of the second drive motor 413 is provided with a gear 415 that meshes with the rack 411. The third linear drive mechanism 420 is connected to the support base 412. The linear slide rail 414 is used to improve the smoothness and straightness of the displacement of the support base 412. When the second drive motor 413 rotates, the support base 412 moves along the length direction of the rack 411, thereby driving the third linear drive mechanism 420 to move up and down. Preferably, the third linear drive mechanism 420 can be a linear drive cylinder, and the second clamping mechanism 430 can be a clamping cylinder with grippers. In other embodiments, the third linear drive mechanism 420 may also be a ball screw module, and the second clamping mechanism 430 may be a mechanical gripper or a negative pressure suction structure.

[0031] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the stated claims.
