Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pathological wax block sealing technology, and in particular to an integrated device for automatic wax sealing and intelligent storage of pathological wax blocks. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, pathological paraffin block sealing devices melt the wax in a melting box, pour the wax into a container, place the tissue on the wax surface, and then pour more wax to complete the sealing process. This method can easily lead to air bubbles inside the paraffin block, affecting the quality of the sealing. Furthermore, existing paraffin block storage devices are susceptible to temperature variations during storage, and storing the blocks together directly makes them inconvenient for later retrieval. Therefore, an integrated device for automatic paraffin sealing and intelligent storage of pathological paraffin blocks is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address at least one of the aforementioned technical shortcomings, this utility model provides an integrated device for automatic sealing and intelligent storage of pathological paraffin blocks, comprising: a wax melting box, a lid on top of the wax melting box, an electric heating coil for heating the wax inside the wax melting box, a controller fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wax melting box, a vacuum pump fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wax melting box, a vertical cylinder fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wax melting box between the controller and the vacuum pump, the output end of the vertical cylinder being U-shaped, a sealing assembly fixedly connected to the output end of the vertical cylinder, and both the wax melting box and the vacuum pump being connected to the sealing assembly via conduits, each conduit being equipped with a solenoid valve.

[0004] Furthermore, the sealing wax assembly includes a sealing cover fixed to the output end of a vertical cylinder. A square cavity is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the sealing cover. A square shaping inner frame is provided inside the square cavity through a stepped surface. A pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the top wall inside the sealing cover. A sealing ring is provided between the shaping inner frame and the stepped surface of the sealing cover. The upper surface of the sealing cover is connected to two conduits. A sliding plate is provided on the lower surface of the shaping inner frame.

[0005] Furthermore, the storage box includes a fixed inner frame connected to the upper surface of the storage box, a sliding groove on the storage box, a sliding plate movably connected inside the sliding groove, the sliding plate having an L-shaped structure, a horizontal cylinder fixedly connected to the vertical end of the sliding plate, the cylinder body of the horizontal cylinder fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box, a wax extraction groove on the upper surface of the storage box located directly below the fixed inner frame, a wax extraction drawer movably connected inside the wax extraction groove, a thermostat fixedly connected inside the storage box, and several drawer slots on the side wall of the storage box, each drawer slot movably connected to a storage drawer.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper surface of the storage drawer has several storage cells that can accommodate a sealing wax.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner frame of the shaped frame is equipped with a threaded tube, the two ends of which are connected to the cold end and the hot end of the thermostat's refrigeration system.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the storage box is provided with a heat insulation layer, and the main body of the storage drawer and storage cell is made of stainless steel. The storage drawer has a heat insulation layer on the outer end face.

[0010] Furthermore, the controller is electrically connected to the electric heating coil, vacuum pump, vertical cylinder, horizontal cylinder, and thermostat. Beneficial effects

[0011] During automatic wax sealing, a vacuum pump creates negative pressure inside the wax sealing assembly. Then, by opening the solenoid valve on the conduit connected to the melting wax tank, a small amount of wax flows into the assembly. The solenoid valve is then closed, and a vertical cylinder extends, opening the assembly and exposing its interior. The operator then places tissue onto the wax surface inside the assembly. The vertical cylinder retracts, and the solenoid valve on the conduit connected to the vacuum pump is opened again, creating negative pressure inside the assembly. The solenoid valve on the conduit connected to the melting wax tank is then opened, allowing wax from the melting wax tank to enter the assembly and complete the sealing process. This negative pressure / vacuum sealing effectively prevents air bubbles from forming inside the wax. The amount of wax is controlled by adjusting the air pressure during the sealing process.

[0012] During storage, the automatic wax sealing device for pathological wax blocks completes the wax sealing assembly. The output end of the horizontal cylinder extends, causing the sliding plate to separate from the lower surface of the shaping inner frame, allowing the bottom end of the shaping inner frame to penetrate the wax extraction tank. The solenoid valve on the conduit connected to the vacuum pump is opened, causing the vacuum pump to draw air into the shaping inner frame. Under the action of air pressure, the wax block falls into the wax extraction drawer. The operator pulls out the wax extraction drawer and removes it. At the same time, the storage drawer is pulled out, and the wax block is placed into the storage drawer for storage. Simultaneously, the thermostat is set to maintain a constant temperature inside the storage box, ensuring constant temperature storage of the wax block.

[0013] The purpose, features, and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 ;

[0022] This embodiment provides an integrated device for automatic sealing and intelligent storage of pathological paraffin blocks, including: a wax melting box 1, a box cover 11 on the top of the wax melting box 1, an electric heating coil 12 for heating the wax melting inside the wax melting box 1, a controller 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wax melting box 1, a vacuum pump 3 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wax melting box 1, a vertical cylinder 4 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wax melting box 1 between the controller 2 and the vacuum pump 3, the output end of the vertical cylinder 4 is U-shaped, and a sealing component 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the vertical cylinder 4. The wax melting box 1 and the vacuum pump 3 are both connected to the sealing component 5 through conduits, and each conduit is equipped with a solenoid valve.

[0023] In practice, during automatic wax sealing, vacuum pump 3 draws negative pressure into the interior of wax sealing component 5. Then, by opening the solenoid valve on the conduit connected to the wax melting tank 1, a small amount of wax flows into the interior of wax sealing component 5. Then, the solenoid valve on the conduit connected to the wax melting tank 1 is closed, and vertical cylinder 4 extends, opening wax sealing component 5 and exposing its interior. The worker then places tissue on the wax surface inside wax sealing component 5, and vertical cylinder 4 retracts. Then, the solenoid valve on the conduit connected to vacuum pump 3 is opened again, causing vacuum pump 3 to draw negative pressure into the interior of wax sealing component 5. The solenoid valve on the conduit connected to wax melting tank 1 is opened, allowing the wax inside wax melting tank 1 to enter the interior of wax sealing component 5 to complete the sealing. Negative pressure / vacuum sealing can effectively prevent air bubbles from forming in the wax. During wax sealing, the amount of wax is controlled by controlling the air pressure.

[0024] Furthermore, the sealing wax assembly 5 includes a sealing cover 51 fixed to the output end of the vertical cylinder 4. A square cavity is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the sealing cover 51. A square shaping inner frame 52 is provided inside the square cavity through a stepped surface. A pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the top wall inside the sealing cover 51. A sealing ring 53 is provided between the shaping inner frame 52 and the stepped surface of the sealing cover 51. The upper surface of the sealing cover 51 is connected to two conduits. A sliding plate 54 is provided on the lower surface of the shaping inner frame 52.

[0025] In practice, a pressure sensor monitors the pressure inside the sealing cover 51. During wax sealing, the vertical cylinder 4 retracts upward, causing the sealing cover 51 to cover the shaping inner frame 52. A sealing ring 53 then seals the area, creating a sealed wax-sealing space between the sealing cover 51 and the shaping inner frame 52. A vacuum pump 3 then creates negative pressure in the wax-sealing space inside the wax-sealing assembly 5. Finally, the solenoid valve on the conduit connected to the wax melting tank 1 is opened, allowing a small amount of wax to flow into the shaping inner frame 52 inside the wax-sealing assembly 5. The solenoid valve on the conduit connected to the wax melting tank 1 is then closed, and the vertical cylinder 4 extends, causing the sealing cover 51 to move upward. The sealing wax assembly 5 is opened, exposing the shaping inner frame 52. The staff then places the tissue onto the wax surface inside the shaping inner frame 52. The vertical cylinder 4 is then contracted, causing the sealing outer cover 51 to cover the outer perimeter of the shaping inner frame 52 again. The solenoid valve on the conduit connected to the vacuum pump 3 is then opened, causing the vacuum pump 3 to draw the sealing wax space inside the sealing wax assembly 5 into negative pressure again. The solenoid valve on the conduit connected to the melting wax box 1 is then opened, allowing the wax inside the melting wax box 1 to enter the shaping inner frame 52 inside the sealing wax assembly 5 to complete the sealing waxing. The negative pressure / vacuum sealing waxing can effectively prevent air bubbles from appearing in the wax. During the sealing waxing process, the amount of wax is controlled by controlling the air pressure.

[0026] The upper surface of the sealing cover 51 is connected to two conduits. The conduits are used for vacuuming and wax flow from the top of the sealing cover 51. The conduits pass through the upper surface of the sealing cover 51 and are connected to the wax sealing space.

[0027] Furthermore, the storage box 6 is included. A fixed inner frame 52 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the storage box 6. A sliding groove 61 is provided on the storage box 6. A sliding plate 54 is movably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 61. The sliding plate 54 is arranged in an L-shape. A horizontal cylinder 55 is fixedly connected to the vertical end of the sliding plate 54. The cylinder body of the horizontal cylinder 55 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 6. A wax-retrieving groove 62 is provided on the upper surface of the storage box 6 directly below the fixed inner frame 52. A wax-retrieving drawer 7 is movably connected inside the wax-retrieving groove 62. A thermostat 9 is fixedly connected inside the storage box 6. Several drawer slots 63 are provided on the side wall of the storage box 6. A storage drawer 8 is movably connected inside each drawer slot 63.

[0028] In practice, during storage, the automatic wax sealing device for pathological wax blocks completes the wax sealing assembly, causing the output end of the horizontal cylinder 55 to extend, allowing the sliding plate 54 to separate from the lower surface of the shaping inner frame 52, so that the bottom end of the shaping inner frame 52 penetrates the wax taking groove 62, and the solenoid valve on the conduit connected to the vacuum pump 3 is opened, allowing the vacuum pump 3 to draw air into the shaping inner frame 52. Under the action of air pressure, the wax block falls into the wax taking drawer 7, and the operator pulls out the wax taking drawer 7. At the same time, the storage drawer 8 is pulled out and the wax block is placed into the storage drawer 8 for storage. Meanwhile, the thermostat 9 is set to maintain a constant temperature inside the storage box 6 to store the wax block at a constant temperature.

[0029] Furthermore, the upper surface of the storage drawer 8 has several storage cells 81 that can accommodate a sealing wax.

[0030] In practical implementation, when storing, the wax block can be stored separately in a storage cell 81 by setting the storage cell 81. By attaching a label to the edge of the storage cell 81, it can be effectively distinguished and easily retrieved next time.

[0031] Furthermore, the inner frame 52 is provided with a threaded tube 521 inside the frame, and the two ends of the threaded tube 521 are connected to the cold end and the hot end of the refrigeration system of the thermostat 9.

[0032] In practice, after the secondary wax injection is completed by setting the threaded tube 521, the cold heat transfer medium can be injected into the interior of the threaded tube 521 through the refrigeration system of the thermostat 9. The refrigeration system of the thermostat 9 assists in the solidification of the wax block, which can shorten the wax sealing time and reduce the waiting time.

[0033] Furthermore, the outer wall of the storage box 6 is provided with a heat insulation layer, and the main body of the storage drawer 8 and the storage cell 81 is made of stainless steel. The storage drawer 8 is provided with a heat insulation layer on the outer end face.

[0034] In practice, the use of insulation layers reduces the impact of external temperature on the interior of storage box 6.

[0035] Furthermore, the edge of the sliding plate 54 is fixedly connected with a limiting post 541 that is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 61. A C-shaped groove is opened on the outside of the limiting post 541, and a sealing strip 542 is fixedly connected inside the C-shaped groove.

[0036] In practical implementation, the limiting post 541 allows the sliding plate 54 to slide inside the slide groove 61, while the C-shaped groove fixes the sealing strip 542, so that the sealing strip 542 can form a sealing structure with the contact surface of the slide groove 61.

[0037] Furthermore, the controller 2 is electrically connected to the electric heating coil 12, the vacuum pump 3, the vertical cylinder 4, the horizontal cylinder 55, and the thermostat 9.

[0038] In practice, the controller 2 controls the electric heating coil 12, vacuum pump 3, vertical cylinder 4, horizontal cylinder 55 and thermostat 9.

[0039] The control technology of controller 2 adopts existing technology.

[0040] Temperature sensor, electric heating coil 12, vacuum pump 3 (vacuum pump has suction pipe and exhaust pipe. When pumping air: air enters through suction pipe and exits through exhaust pipe. When filling air: pressure relief port at the end of suction pipe is opened. The head of suction pipe is connected to exhaust pipe through venting valve. Solenoid valve in the middle of suction pipe is closed. Air enters through pressure relief port and exits through exhaust pipe into the head of suction pipe), vertical cylinder 4 (cylinder), horizontal cylinder 55 (cylinder), and thermostat 9 (with built-in refrigeration and heating systems. Temperature is monitored in real time by temperature sensor. The refrigeration and heating systems are controlled to achieve heating and cooling, thereby achieving constant temperature) all adopt existing technologies.
