Description

A rapid mounting device for endometrial pathological sections Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical technology, specifically to a rapid sealing device for endometrial pathological sections. Background Technology

[0002] Pathological sections are sealed with glass slides and coverslips, which can stabilize the sample, prevent contamination and damage, provide a stable optical path, optimize the microscopic imaging effect, and ensure that the observed image is clear and accurate, thereby contributing to the accuracy of pathological diagnosis.

[0003] Currently, due to the need for review and comparison, multiple sets of slides are required for each patient's pathological sections, resulting in multiple mounting operations and a high degree of complexity in slide mounting. Furthermore, the lack of an auxiliary resin adhesive and heating mechanism after mounting leads to a prolonged drying time for the resin adhesive between the slide and coverslip during the subsequent drying process. Therefore, a rapid mounting device for endometrial pathological sections is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in existing technologies, this utility model provides a rapid sealing device for endometrial pathological sections, which provides an automated and rapid sealing system for endometrial pathological sections to replace the traditional manual sealing method. During the sealing process, it effectively frees up the hands of medical staff and reduces their labor. By replacing manual labor with mechanical components, it performs continuous tasks such as slide loading, glue application, cover sealing, and drying, enabling rapid sealing of the sections.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a rapid sealing device for endometrial pathological sections, including a base, an L-shaped worktable on the top of the base, a first flipping assembly and a second flipping assembly respectively on the inner two ends of the L-shaped worktable, a conveyor frame at the bottom of the L-shaped worktable, a glue discharge assembly and a cover plate assembly sequentially arranged on the top of the feed end of the conveyor frame, a cover plate on the top of the discharge end of the conveyor frame, quartz heating tubes are installed at equal intervals inside the top of the cover plate, a slide positioning box is arranged on the L-shaped worktable at the feed end of the conveyor frame, and a cover plate positioning box is arranged on the L-shaped worktable on one side of the conveyor frame.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, an automated and rapid mounting device for pathological slides of endometrium is achieved through an assembly consisting of an L-shaped worktable, a first slide-turning assembly, a second slide-turning assembly, a conveyor frame, a coverslip assembly, and a quartz heating tube. This device replaces the traditional manual mounting method, effectively freeing up personnel's hands and reducing the labor force of medical staff. By replacing manual labor with mechanical components, continuous operations such as slide loading, resin dispensing, coverslipping, and drying are performed, enabling rapid mounting of slides. During the mounting process, resin dispensing and coverslipping can be continuously applied to the slides passing through the conveyor frame. After coverslipping, auxiliary heating and drying treatment can be performed on the slide material to improve the drying efficiency of the resin adhesive, facilitating centralized collection and transfer by personnel later.

[0007] Specifically, the first flipping assembly and the second flipping assembly have the same structure and both include an X-axis electric slide rail. A Y-axis electric cylinder is installed on the sliding block of the X-axis electric slide rail. A Z-axis electric cylinder is installed at the bottom output end of the Y-axis electric cylinder. The output end of the Z-axis electric cylinder is connected to a first mounting plate.

[0008] A first servo geared motor is mounted on one side of the first mounting plate and at the bottom of the Z-axis electric cylinder. The drive end of the first servo geared motor passes through the first mounting plate and is mounted on a second mounting plate. A second servo geared motor is mounted on the end of the second mounting plate. The drive end of the second servo geared motor passes through the second mounting plate and is mounted on a third mounting plate. A third servo geared motor is mounted on one side of the third mounting plate. The drive end of the third servo geared motor passes through the third mounting plate and is mounted on a first suction cup.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the first and second flipping components facilitate the gripping and placement of glass slides in the conveyor area, as well as the removal of covered glass slides from the conveyor area, thus better cooperating with the conveyor to form an automated conveying line for sealing slides.

[0010] Specifically, a transmission chain is provided inside the conveyor frame, and a drive sprocket and a driven sprocket are meshed inside the transmission chain. The drive sprocket and the driven sprocket are rotatably connected to the conveyor frame through bearings. A stepper motor is installed on the back of the L-shaped workbench, and the drive end of the stepper motor is connected to the rotation shaft of the drive sprocket.

[0011] Support plates for supporting glass slides are installed at equal intervals on the outer periphery of the transmission chain.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the glass slides that are fed into the conveyor frame by the support plate can be supported.

[0013] Specifically, the cover assembly includes a Z-axis electric slide rail, and an electric cylinder perpendicular to the L-shaped worktable is mounted on the sliding block of the Z-axis electric slide rail. A second suction cup is provided at the bottom of the output end of the electric cylinder.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the cover glass assembly, it is easy to grip and place the cover glass onto the glass slide after the adhesive has been applied, thus realizing automatic cover glass application.

[0015] Specifically, the glue discharge assembly includes a glue pump, a glue storage tank, and a glue discharge pipe. The glue pump and the glue storage tank are both located at the bottom of the base, and the inlet end of the glue pump is connected to the outlet end of the glue storage tank.

[0016] The glue discharge pipe is located on the top of the conveyor frame and is fixedly connected to the L-shaped workbench. A glue discharge nozzle is provided at the bottom of the glue discharge pipe, and the discharge end of the glue pump is connected to the glue discharge pipe through a pipe.

[0017] An air pump is installed at one end of the base, and the air inlet of the air pump is connected to the exhaust end of the first suction cup and the second suction cup through air pipes.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the setting of the glue discharge pipe and glue discharge nozzle, after the glue pump is working, the resin glue stored in the glue storage tank can be dripped through the glue discharge nozzle onto the glass slide that is about to enter the cover plate assembly.

[0019] Specifically, the L-shaped workbench is equipped with a protective cover with an openable / closed door.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing environment is protected by a protective cover.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: An automated, rapid mounting system for endometrial pathological sections is achieved through an assembly consisting of an L-shaped worktable, a first slide-turning component, a second slide-turning component, a conveyor frame, a coverslip component, and a quartz heating tube. This system replaces the traditional manual mounting method, effectively freeing up the hands of medical personnel and reducing their workload. By using mechanical components to replace manual labor, continuous processes such as slide loading, dispensing adhesive, covering, and drying are performed, resulting in rapid slide mounting. During the mounting process, adhesive dispensing and coverslipping can be continuously applied to the slides passing on the conveyor frame. It can also perform auxiliary heating and drying treatment on the slides after the coverslip is completed, which helps to improve the drying efficiency of the resin adhesive. It is convenient for centralized collection and transfer by personnel in the later stage. It is flexible and convenient to use, and has high work efficiency. It solves the problem that the current medical staff need to complete multiple sets of glass slides for each group of patients' pathological slides due to verification and comparison, which leads to multiple operations for slide sealing and high cumbersome slide sealing. It also solves the problem that there is no auxiliary mechanism for fixing and heating the resin adhesive after sealing, which leads to the long time required for the resin adhesive between the glass slide and the coverslip to dry during the later drying period.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0032] The present invention also includes a transmission chain 41 provided inside the transmission frame 4, a drive sprocket 42 and a driven sprocket 43 meshing inside the transmission chain 41, the drive sprocket 42 and the driven sprocket 43 being rotatably connected to the transmission frame 4 through bearings, and a stepper motor 44 installed on the back of the L-shaped workbench 11, the drive end of the stepper motor 44 being connected to the rotation shaft of the drive sprocket 42;

[0033] Support plates 45 for supporting glass slides are installed at equal intervals on the outer periphery of the transmission chain 41.

[0034] In use, the support plate 45 can be used to support the glass slides that are fed from the first flipping assembly 2 into the conveyor frame 4.

[0035] The present invention also includes that the cover assembly 5 includes a Z-axis electric slide rail 51, and an electric cylinder 52 perpendicular to the L-shaped worktable 11 is installed on the sliding block of the Z-axis electric slide rail 51. A second suction cup 53 is provided at the bottom of the output end of the electric cylinder 52.

[0036] In use, the cover glass assembly 5 facilitates the gripping and placement of the cover glass onto the glass slide after the adhesive has been applied, thus achieving automatic cover glass application.

[0037] The present invention also includes that the glue discharge assembly includes a glue pump 7, a glue storage tank 8 and a glue discharge pipe 71. The glue pump 7 and the glue storage tank 8 are both arranged at the bottom of the base 1, and the inlet end of the glue pump 7 is connected to the outlet end of the glue storage tank 8.

[0038] The glue discharge pipe 71 is located on the top of the conveyor frame 4 and is fixedly connected to the L-shaped workbench 11. The bottom of the glue discharge pipe 71 is provided with a glue discharge nozzle 72. The discharge end of the glue pump 7 is connected to the glue discharge pipe 71 through a pipe.

[0039] An air pump 9 is provided at one end of the base 1. The air inlet of the air pump 9 is connected to the exhaust end of the first suction cup 210 and the second suction cup 53 through an air pipe.

[0040] An electromagnetic reversing valve is provided between the first suction cup 210, the second suction cup 53 and the air pump 9.

[0041] In use, based on the setting of the glue discharge tube 71 and glue discharge nozzle 72, after the glue pump 7 is working, the resin glue stored in the glue storage tank 8 can be dripped through the glue discharge nozzle 72 onto the glass slide that is about to enter the cover plate assembly 5.

[0042] This utility model also includes a protective cover 12 with an opening and closing door installed on the outer periphery of the L-shaped workbench 11.

[0043] When in use, the protective cover 12 is used to cover and protect the sealing environment.

[0044] In use, the power supply components of the work site provide power to the electrical components in this application, and the electrical components in this application are controlled by a PLC controller when they are put into use.

[0045] When put into use, the required coverslips are placed in the coverslip positioning box 112, and the slides to be sealed, along with the slide holder, are placed in the slide positioning box 111. During operation, the first flipping assembly 2 places the slides onto the support plate 45 on the conveyor frame 4. During placement, the first suction cup 210 is moved to the slide positioning box 111 by the X-axis electric slide rail 21 on the first flipping assembly 2. The first suction cup 210 is brought close to the first set of slides by the output end of the Y-axis electric cylinder 22 descending and the output end of the Z-axis electric cylinder 23 pushing it out. The suction provided by the vacuum pump 9 is used to lift the first suction cup 210 onto the side end of the slide. The slide is picked up by adsorption and is moved to the feed end of the conveyor frame 4 via the X-axis electric slide rail 21. The slide is then rotated 90° by the first servo reducer motor 25 to flatten it, and then rotated 90° by the second servo reducer motor 27 to make it parallel to the support plate 45. The Y-axis electric cylinder 22 then descends, and simultaneously the electromagnetic reversing valve of the first suction cup 210 disconnects from the vacuum pump 9, causing the slide to fall onto the support plate 45. Driven by the stepper motor 44, the drive sprocket 42 drives the transmission chain 41, thus the support plate 45 carries the slide sequentially through the glue discharge nozzle 72, the cover plate assembly 5, and below the cover plate 6. The glue pump 7 then discharges the stored glue. The resin glue stored in the glue tank 8 is dripped through the glue discharge nozzle 72 onto the glass slide about to enter the coverslip assembly 5. At the same time, the electric cylinder 52 of the coverslip assembly 5 descends, causing the second suction cup 53, in cooperation with the air pump 9, to grip and suck up the coverslip placed in the coverslip positioning box 112. Through the sliding displacement of the Z-axis electric slide rail 51, the coverslip is moved above the glass slide on the conveyor frame 4. Subsequently, the electromagnetic reversing valve of the second suction cup 53 disconnects its connection with the air pump 9, allowing the coverslip to cover the glass slide. During this process, the coverslip positioning box 112 and the second suction cup 53 can be set to a slightly tilted position, with an tilt angle of 2-45°. As the glass slide is conveyed on the conveyor frame 4... The slides are passed under the cover plate 6 and heated by the quartz heating tube 61 at the top inside to promote the drying and curing of the resin adhesive and improve the sealing efficiency. The heating temperature of the quartz heating tube 61 is 35-70℃. The slides are then conveyed to the discharge end of the conveyor frame 4. The first suction cup 210 on the second flipping assembly 3 picks up the coverslip on the slide (the first suction cup 210 on the second flipping assembly 3 can be replaced by a flexible robotic arm). The sealed slides with coverslips are then stacked or laid flat on the L-shaped worktable 11. This achieves continuous and automated rapid sealing of endometrial pathology slides. After the sealing of this batch of slides is completed, the medical staff collect and transfer them.
