The printing unit 300 is arranged opposite to the first printing position 2 and the second printing position 4. The printing unit 300 is configured to simultaneously mark the tissue cassettes and the glass slides.

[0028] According to the marking all-in-one machine 100a in the present invention, the first feeding mechanism is configured to transport the tissue cassettes stored in the first feeding chute 1 to the first printing position 2. The second feeding mechanism is configured to transport the glass slides stored in the second feeding chute 3 to the first printing position 2. The printing unit 300 is configured to simultaneously carry out marking on the tissue cassettes and the glass slides. The first feeding unit 100 and the second feeding unit 200 are simultaneously arranged to simultaneously carry out marking on the tissue cassettes and the glass slides which are in one-to-one correspondence, and the problems of non-uniform marking, missing marking and the like are avoided, so that the accuracy of information recording and the work efficiency of marking are improved.

[0029] The first feeding unit 100 also includes a feeding slideway 5. The first feeding chute 1 communicates with the first printing position 2 through the feeding slideway 5. The feeding slideway 5 is arranged obliquely downward along the direction from the first feeding chute 1 to the first printing position 2. The setting position of the first feeding chute 1 is higher. The first feeding mechanism pushes the tissue cassettes onto the feeding slideway 5. The tissue cassettes slide to the first printing position 2 along the feeding slideway 5 for marking.

[0030] Specifically, a discharge port is formed in the bottom of the first feeding chute 1. The first feeding mechanism includes a first push plate 6 and a first driver. The first push plate 6 is slidably arranged at discharge port. The output end of the first driver is in transmission connection with the first push plate 6. The first push plate 6 and the feeding slideway 5 are located on both sides of the first feeding chute 1. The tissue cassettes in the first feeding chute 1 are stacked along the vertical direction. The first driver drives the first push plate 6 to extend out. The tissue cassette at the bottom of the first feeding chute 1 is pushed out of the discharge port and onto the feeding slideway 5.

[0031] More specifically, the first printing position 2 is provided with a printing baffle 7. The printing baffle 7 is configured to abut against the tissue cassette and block the tissue cassettes from continuing to slide along the feeding slideway 5, so that the tissue cassettes stay at the first printing position 2 to complete marking. A through hole allowing the tissue cassettes to pass through is formed in the side, away from the first feeding chute 1, of the printing baffle 7. A distance is provided between the center of the through hole and the center line of the feeding slideway 5, so that a certain distance is deviated between the tissue cassette sliding along the feeding chute 5 and the through hole, the tissue cassette is prevented from sliding out directly from the through hole, and the printing reliability is ensured.

[0032] Preferably, the first feeding unit 100 also includes a first collecting area 8. The first collecting area 8 communicates with the feeding slideway 5 through the through hole. The first feeding mechanism also includes a second push plate 9 and a second driver. The output end the second driver is connected with the second push plate 9. The second push plate 9 is slidably arranged on one side of the printing baffle 7. The second push plate 9 is configured to push the tissue cassettes so that the tissue cassettes are directly opposite to the through hole. After the tissue cassettes are printed, the second push plate 9 pushes the tissue cassettes so that the tissue cassettes are directly opposite to the through hole and are led out to the first collecting area 8 from the through hole. The first collecting area 8 is of a strip-shaped groove structure, and the printed tissue cassettes enter the first collecting area 8 in turn for collection and standby.

[0033] In the specific embodiment, the second feeding chute 3 includes two symmetrically arranged positioning plates 10. Two fixed plates are matched to fix both ends of the glass slide. A feeding groove 11 capable of accommodating glass slides is formed in the bottom of the fixed plate. The feeding groove 11 communicates with second printing position 4. The glass slides are stacked between the two positioning plates 10 along the vertical direction. The lowest glass slide in the second feeding chute 3 falls into the feeding groove 11, and then the second feeding mechanism transports the glass slide to the second printing position 4 for printing.

[0034] Correspondingly, the second feeding mechanism includes a first push rod 12, a second push rod 13, a third driver and a fourth driver. The output end of the third driver is in transmission connection with the first push rod 12. The first push rod 12 is slidably arranged on one side of the feeding groove 11. The first push rod 12 is configured to push the lowest glass slide in the first feeding chute 1 to the second printing position 4 for printing.

[0035] In order to collect the printed glass slides, the second printing position 4 is also connected with a second collecting area 14. The second collecting area 14 communicates with the second printing position 4. The output end of the fourth driver is in transmission connection with the second push rod 13. The second push rod 13 is slidably arranged on one side of the second printing position 4 to push the glass slides at the second printing position 4 into second collecting area 14. The second push rod 13 pushes the printed glass slides into the second collecting area 14 for collection and standby.

[0036] It also should be noted that a guide inclined plane is arranged at the communicating place between the second collecting area 14 and the second printing position 4. In the specific embodiment, the second collecting area 14 is of a frame structure. The printed glass slides are stacked along the vertical direction in the second collecting area 14. Under the action of the second push rod 13, the printed glass slides are "inserted" at the bottom of the stacked glass slides, and the guide inclined plane is arranged to smoothly insert the glass slides. The glass slides in the second collecting area 14 are arranged from top to bottom according to the printing sequence, and are convenient to take and use. The operator does not need to re-classify and screen the glass slides for the second time, so that the accuracy of information recording is further improved.

[0037] Further, the printing unit 300 includes a laser generator, a seismograph and field lens arranged in sequence. The exit surface of the field lens is arranged directly opposite to the first printing position 2 and the second printing position 4. Laser printing and non-contact printing are adopted, so that the printing speed is high, and the definition is high.

[0038] The marking all-in-one machine 100a in the present invention also includes a purifying unit 400. The purifying unit 400 includes a purifying cylinder 15 and a suction element. The suction element communicates with one end of the purifying cylinder 15, and the other end of the purifying cylinder 15 is arranged toward the first printing position 2 and the second printing position 4. The suction element may be a suction pump, and dust generated by printing is sucked by the purifying cylinder 15, so that subsequent printing is avoided from being influenced, the printing quality is ensured, and the operators are protected at the same time.
