[0042] Working principle: First, connect the device to an external power source to ensure normal operation of all components. Medical staff place the embedding and fixation box in the recessed area 7, then push the specimen placement plate 6 into the outer casing 1 of the integrated machine along the first sliding bar 5. Next, forcefully push the temporary specimen storage frame 10 into the two second sliding bars 9, so that the temporary specimen storage frame 10 is locked between the rounded corner stop bar 12 and the right-angle stop bar 11. Then close the hatch 2 and push the button plate 1503, so that the button lever 1501 is in the rectangular slide 13. As the button lever 1501 slides downwards, when the locking block 1502 above it enters the uppermost slot 14 inside the rectangular slide 13, the central camera 1516 takes a picture of the specimen and the embedding fixation box. The captured image can be used for image recognition to help medical staff confirm the specimen information and the status of the embedding fixation box. Simultaneously, as the button lever 1501 moves downwards, it drives the push rod 1506 downwards via the connecting rod 1504. The first rack 1508 at the bottom of the push rod 1506 then descends, engaging with the... A gear 1511 engages, causing the rotating rod 1510 to rotate within the rotating seat 1509. A second gear 1512 at the front end of the rotating rod 1510 rotates along with the rod. The second gear 1512 meshes with the second rack 1514, causing the rack 1514 to slide to the left within the limiting groove 1513. A push rod 1515, fixedly connected to the left end of the second rack 1514, moves to the left with the rack. The push rod 1515 can push the lid of the specimen embedding and fixing box, thus achieving... The specimen is secured when the locking block 1502 above the button lever 1501 enters the slot 14 in the middle of the rectangular slide 13. The button lever 1501 is then pushed further until the locking block 1502 enters the slot 14 at the bottom of the rectangular slide 13. At this point, the bottom of the button lever 1501 pushes the embedding box out of the recessed area 7, allowing it to enter the temporary specimen storage frame 10 below. The box is then reset for the next operation.

[0043] The above embodiments are not an exhaustive list based on the present invention, and there may be other embodiments not listed. Any substitutions and improvements made without departing from the concept of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
