Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehydrator technology, specifically to a tissue processing dehydrator. Background Technology

[0002] A tissue dehydrator is a device used to dehydrate tissue samples and has wide applications in pathology, biology, and other fields. Tissue dehydrators typically employ a gradient alcohol dehydration principle. By sequentially immersing the tissue sample in alcohol solutions of varying concentrations, water is gradually removed from the tissue. Generally, it starts with low-concentration alcohol, gradually transitioning to high-concentration alcohol, and finally using anhydrous alcohol for complete dehydration.

[0003] Existing dehydrators have small inner tank volumes, limiting the number of tissue samples they can process at a time. For large laboratories or pathology departments, this results in low efficiency when processing batches of samples, potentially requiring multiple runs to complete the task, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, existing dehydrators lack a specially designed waste liquid tank, leading to inconvenient waste liquid collection and disposal, and even the potential for waste liquid leakage.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a tissue processing dehydrator to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tissue processing dehydrator to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a tissue processing dehydration machine, comprising a machine body, wherein a dehydration tank is provided at the upper end of the machine body, and multiple embedding boxes are arranged vertically in the dehydration tank, wherein a partition plate is provided between the upper embedding box and the lower embedding box, and a certain distance exists between the top of the lower embedding box and the bottom of the partition plate.

[0007] The lower part of the body has a storage compartment, the lower part of the storage compartment has a waste liquid tank, and the upper part of the storage compartment has multiple reagent bottles.

[0008] The upper surface of the partition plate is provided with a flow guide groove in the shape of an inverted cone, and a water outlet is provided at the vertical center of the partition plate. The partition plate is installed in the dewatering tank with a detachable structure.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both ends of the inner walls on both sides of the dehydration tank are fixedly installed with support members, and both ends of the partition plate are provided with corresponding insertion holes. The partition plate is adapted to the support members through the insertion holes and is inserted and installed in the dehydration tank.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the partition plate, one end of the drain pipe is connected to the water outlet at the bottom of the partition plate, and a clamp is fixedly installed at the bottom of the partition plate, with the drain pipe clamped inside the clamp.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a shelf is fixedly installed inside the lower part of the dehydration tank, and the embedding box is placed on the shelf. The bottom of the shelf is suspended above the bottom of the dehydration tank.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the waste liquid tank is provided with multiple water inlet ports, the two ends of the drain pipe are connected to the corresponding water inlet ports on the top of the waste liquid tank, and the bottom of the dehydration tank is connected to the corresponding water inlet port through a conduit.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the partition plate divides the interior of the dehydration tank into upper and lower structures. The upper and lower layers of the dehydration tank are independent of each other, and the embedding boxes in each layer can be removed individually. A cover is movably installed on the top of the machine body at the corresponding position of the dehydration tank.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0015] 1. By using a multi-layered embedding cassette arrangement within the dehydration tank, more tissue samples can be accommodated at once. Compared to existing dehydrators with smaller inner chamber volumes, multiple runs are unnecessary when processing batches of samples, greatly improving processing efficiency and saving time and labor costs. This is especially suitable for use in large laboratories or pathology departments. The partition plate divides the interior of the dehydration tank into independent upper and lower layers, and the embedding cassettes in each layer can be removed individually, making it more flexible when processing different types of samples or samples at different processing stages.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-5 The tissue processing dehydrator shown includes a body 1, a dehydration tank 3 at the upper end of the body 1, a plurality of embedding boxes 4 are placed vertically in the dehydration tank 3, a partition plate 5 is provided between the upper embedding box 4 and the lower embedding box 4, and there is a certain gap between the top of the lower embedding box 4 and the bottom of the partition plate 5.

[0026] In this example, multiple embedding cassettes 4 can be arranged vertically within the dehydration tank 3 to hold tissue samples. By making efficient use of the space in the dehydration tank 3, the sample processing capacity is increased. Furthermore, thanks to the partition plate 5, each layer of embedding cassettes 4 is relatively independent, allowing different batches or types of samples to be processed simultaneously without interference, reducing the risk of sample confusion and improving processing efficiency.

[0027] The lower part of the body 1 has a storage compartment 6, a waste liquid tank 62 is installed inside the lower part of the storage compartment 6, and multiple reagent bottles 61 are placed inside the upper part of the storage compartment 6.

[0028] The upper surface of the partition plate 5 is provided with a guide groove 51 in the shape of an inverted cone, and a water outlet is provided at the vertical center of the partition plate 5. The partition plate 5 is installed in the dewatering tank 3 with a detachable structure.

[0029] In this example, the main body 1 serves as the load-bearing frame of the entire dehydrator, providing a stable and reliable mounting foundation for all internal components. Simultaneously, it protects the internal dehydration tank 3 and storage compartment 6, reducing external interference with equipment operation. The dehydration tank 3, located at the top of the main body 1, has a large volume, allowing for the placement of multiple embedding cassettes 4. Compared to traditional dehydrator inner chambers, this significantly increases the number of tissue samples that can be processed at once. It can process more samples simultaneously, greatly improving work efficiency and avoiding the time and manpower waste associated with multiple equipment runs. The support members 31 fixedly installed at both ends of the inner walls of the dehydration tank 3 are compatible with the insertion holes 54 at both ends of the partition plate 5, providing support for the partition plate 5. This structure ensures the stability of the partition plate 5 installation, thereby ensuring the reliability of stratified sample processing, while also facilitating the disassembly and installation of the partition plate 5 and simplifying internal cleaning and maintenance.

[0030] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, support members 31 are fixedly installed at both ends of the inner walls on both sides of the dehydration tank 3, and corresponding insertion holes 54 are opened at both ends of the partition plate 5. The partition plate 5 is adapted to the support members 31 through the insertion holes 54 and is inserted and installed in the dehydration tank 3. This detachable structure of the partition plate 5 makes the installation and disassembly of the partition plate 5 simple and convenient. When it is necessary to thoroughly clean the inside of the dehydration tank 3 or adjust the sample placement layout, the operation can be easily completed, improving the convenience of equipment maintenance.

[0031] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a drain pipe 52 is provided at the bottom of the partition plate 5, one end of the drain pipe 52 is connected to the water outlet at the bottom of the partition plate 5, and a clamp 53 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the partition plate 5, with the drain pipe 52 clamped in the clamp 53.

[0032] In this example, the partition plate 5 divides the interior of the dehydration tank 3 into upper and lower independent structures, and the embedding cassettes 4 in each layer can be removed individually. This layered design optimizes the sample processing flow, allowing different samples to undergo dehydration operations simultaneously, which is particularly suitable for processing multiple samples and significantly improves overall processing efficiency. The inverted conical flow channel 51 on the upper surface of the partition plate 5 effectively guides the liquid flow to the outlet at the vertical center and into the drain pipe 52, ensuring the smooth discharge of waste liquid generated in each layer and facilitating centralized collection of waste liquid.

[0033] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a shelf 32 is fixedly installed inside the lower part of the dehydration tank 3, and the lower embedding box 4 is placed on the shelf 32. The bottom of the shelf 32 is suspended above the bottom of the dehydration tank 3.

[0034] In this example, a shelf 32 is fixedly installed inside the lower part of the dehydration tank 3 to hold the lower embedding cassette 4, with its bottom suspended above the bottom of the dehydration tank 3. This design prevents the lower embedding cassette 4 from directly contacting the bottom of the tank, facilitating the discharge and flow of waste liquid, preventing the sample from being soaked by waste liquid and affecting the processing effect, and also making it easier to clean the bottom of the dehydration tank 3, reducing the residue of impurities.

[0035] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the top of the waste liquid tank 62 is provided with multiple water inlet ports 63, the two ends of the drain pipe 52 are connected to the corresponding water inlet ports 63 on the top of the waste liquid tank 62, and the bottom of the dehydration tank 3 is connected to the corresponding water inlet port 63 through a conduit.

[0036] In this example, the waste liquid tank 62 is installed inside the storage compartment 6 at the bottom, with multiple water inlet ports 63 on the top, which are connected to the drain pipe 52 and the conduit at the bottom of the dehydration tank 3, respectively. This design solves the problem of non-centralized waste liquid collection in traditional dehydrators. All waste liquid flows into the waste liquid tank 62 through corresponding pipes, facilitating unified treatment, reducing the risk of waste liquid leakage, and protecting the laboratory environment. Centralized collection of waste liquid within the waste liquid tank 62 makes subsequent treatment more convenient and efficient. Staff can perform unified recycling, neutralization, or other treatment operations on the waste liquid according to actual needs, saving processing time and labor costs.

[0037] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the partition plate 5 divides the interior of the dehydration tank 3 into upper and lower structures. The upper and lower layers of the dehydration tank 3 are independent of each other, and the embedding boxes 4 in each layer can be removed individually. A box cover 2 is movably installed on the top of the machine body 1 at the corresponding position of the dehydration tank 3.

[0038] The tissue processing dehydrator provided by this utility model operates as follows:

[0039] Place the embedding cassette 4 into the dehydration tank 3, then close the lid 2 and start the dehydrator. Take an appropriate amount of dehydration reagent from the reagent bottle 61 and pour it into the dehydration tank 3. Because the embedding cassettes 4 arranged vertically in the dehydration tank 3 are divided into layers by the partition plate 5, each layer of embedding cassette 4 is relatively independent, and the reagent can dehydrate the tissue sample in each layer separately. During the dehydration process, the reagent undergoes a displacement reaction with the water in the tissue sample, thus achieving sample dehydration.

[0040] As the dehydration process proceeds, the water content in the reagent gradually increases, forming waste liquid. The waste liquid in the dehydration tank 3 will first flow to the bottom under the action of gravity. For the waste liquid generated above each partition plate 5, it will be collected through the inverted conical guide channel 51 on the upper surface of the partition plate 5 to the outlet at its vertical center, and then discharged through the drain pipe 52. One end of the drain pipe 52 is tightly connected to the outlet at the bottom of the partition plate 5, and the other end of the drain pipe 52 is connected to the corresponding inlet port 63 at the top of the waste liquid tank 62, introducing the waste liquid into the waste liquid tank 62. After the set dehydration time, the tank cover 2 is opened. Since the upper and lower layers inside the dehydration tank 3 are independent of each other, and the embedding boxes 4 in each layer can be removed individually, the upper layer embedding boxes 4 can be removed first, and then the partition plate 5 can be disassembled to remove the lower layer embedding boxes 4, depending on the actual situation.

[0041] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
