Description

An automated sample processing machine and sample processing device Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated sample processing technology, and more particularly to an automated sample processing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Formalin is commonly used in medical institutions for processing pathological specimens. Formalin is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. Its main mechanism of action is through cross-linking with proteins, rendering them inactive and dysfunctional. Formalin has a wide range of applications in the medical field. In medicine, formalin is primarily used for the preservation of tissue specimens. Immersing tissue specimens in formalin causes a cross-linking reaction in the proteins, thereby preventing the invasion of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, and extending the preservation time of the tissue specimens. In addition, formalin can also be used to fix biological samples such as cells and organelles for microscopic observation and research.

[0003] While formalin has excellent antibacterial effects, it is also toxic to humans. Prolonged exposure to formalin can cause irritation and damage to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Furthermore, formalin carries a certain carcinogenic risk. Therefore, appropriate protective measures should be taken when using formalin to avoid direct contact with and inhalation of its volatile fumes.

[0004] In existing technologies, medical staff handle pathological specimens by manually adding formalin. Although protective equipment is provided, due to the volatility of formalin, medical staff inevitably inhale the volatile gases when handling specimens for a long time, which poses a risk to their health.

[0005] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Summary of the Invention

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of this invention clearer and more explicit, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0050] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0051] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0052] In existing technologies, medical staff handle pathological specimens by manually adding formalin. Although protective equipment is provided, due to the volatility of formalin, medical staff inevitably inhale the volatile gases when handling specimens for a long time, which poses a risk to their health.

[0053] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this invention provides an automatic sample processing machine, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The automatic sample processing machine includes: a housing 100, with a sealing cap 110 rotatably connected to its upper end; a weighing assembly 200, including a weighing panel 210 inclined at a predetermined angle; an infusion assembly 300, including an infusion end 310 corresponding to the upper edge of the weighing panel 210, the infusion end 310 being a telescopic end; an absorption assembly 400, including a suction end 410 disposed on one side of the infusion end 310; a sealing assembly 500, including a sealing device 510 corresponding to the upper position of the weighing panel 210; and a processing assembly 600, which is signal-connected to the weighing assembly 200, the infusion assembly 300, the absorption assembly 400, and the sealing assembly 500.

[0054] This invention features a weighing panel 210 with a tilted angle, allowing bagged samples to be placed on it for recording sample and injection data. After the sealing cap 110 is closed, the processing component 600 controls the injection end 310 to inject a predetermined amount of formalin liquid into the bag, while the absorption end absorbs the volatile gas. After injection is complete, the sealing device 510 seals the sample bag. This invention can replace manual addition of formalin to specimens, effectively handles the volatile gas of formalin, and reduces health risks caused by long-term operation by medical personnel.

[0055] In the above embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the above-mentioned automatic sample processing machine mainly consists of a housing 100, a weighing component 200, an infusion component 300, an absorption component 400, a sealing component 500, and a processing component 600. The housing 100 is used to protect the internal functional components. In addition, since the formalin processed by the automatic sample processing machine of the present invention is volatile, the housing 100 should be set as a sealed housing 100 to prevent the volatile gas from flowing to the outside of the housing 100. In order to enable the functional components inside the housing 100 to function normally, those skilled in the art can set a one-way valve structure on the housing 100 according to actual needs to allow gas to flow into the housing 100. In this embodiment, since medical staff need to place the bagged sample in a predetermined position inside the housing 100 so that each functional component is in normal working condition, a sealing cover 110 is also provided at the upper end of the housing 100 in this embodiment. The sealing cover 110 is rotatably connected to the housing 100. The specific design can be referenced from the structure of a refrigerator door to ensure the sealing performance of the sealing cover 110 when it is closed with the housing 100.

[0056] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, after the sealing cap 110 is opened, medical personnel can directly see a weighing panel 210. This weighing panel 210 is an important structure in the weighing assembly 200. Specifically, it is tilted at a predetermined angle. By placing the bag containing the sample on the weighing panel 210 with the opening facing upwards, the bag can be stably placed, preventing splashing during formalin infusion. It also allows for recording the sample, the overall weight of the bag during infusion, and the overall weight of the bag after infusion, facilitating data reference for medical personnel. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can also add fixing structures to the weighing panel 210 to further secure the bag, such as adhesive structures or pocket-shaped limiting structures. For example, in one specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, a baffle 211 perpendicular to the weighing panel 210 can be provided along the lower edge of the weighing panel 210 to prevent the bag from sliding along the inclined surface or tilting after infusion.

[0057] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, a filling end 310 is provided on one side of the weighing panel 210. The filling end 310 is the main component of the filling assembly 300 used to inject formalin into the sample bag. In a specific configuration, the filling end 310 corresponds to the upper edge of the weighing panel 210, thereby corresponding to the opening of the sample bag after placement. The filling end 310 is specifically a telescopic end. Before and during the injection process, the filling end 310 is in an extended state, which can extend into the bag to a certain distance to ensure stable liquid injection. When the weighing assembly 200 obtains the weight of the bag to reach the preset weight, the filling end 310 stops injecting liquid and is retracted. The retracted filling end 310 is removed from the bag opening to avoid interfering with the subsequent sealing operation.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1, when the infusion assembly 300 starts working, the absorption assembly 400 also works simultaneously. The absorption assembly 400 includes a suction end 410 disposed on one side of the infusion end 310. With the cooperation of other functional components of the absorption assembly 400 (described in detail below), the suction end 410 can achieve the effect of suctioning air inside the housing 100. Since the formalin liquid injected into the sample bag is volatile, the suction end 410, which works simultaneously, can suction the volatile gas formed during the infusion process and further process it, thereby reducing the concentration of the volatile gas to a level that does not affect health.

[0059] Furthermore, after the filling component 300 has completed its operation, the absorption component 400 continues to operate for a predetermined period of time. During this process, the sealing component 500 seals the bag. In this embodiment, the sealing component 500 includes a sealing device 510 corresponding to the upper position of the weighing panel 210. After the filling end 310 shrinks, the sealing device 510 seals the bag, thereby sealing the sample bag for subsequent transportation or storage.

[0060] In the above embodiments, the above-mentioned multiple functional components are controlled and operated by the processing component 600. The processing component 600 is signal-connected to the weighing component 200, the perfusion component 300, the absorption component 400 and the processing component 600. In actual use, the processing component 600 contains a processor, which runs a preset program. By comparing the weight information obtained by the weighing component 200, other functional components can be activated to work together, thereby achieving the effect of automatically perfusing formalin solution into the indwelling sample and sealing it.

[0061] Specifically, in one possible implementation, as shown in Figure 1, the infusion assembly 300 comprises a storage tank 330, an injection pump 320, and an infusion end 310. The storage tank 330 is detachably disposed at the lower end of the housing 100 to facilitate replacement by medical personnel to replenish formalin solution. The injection pump 320 is disposed inside the housing 100 and should have the function of suction and delivery of liquid to achieve the effect of delivering formalin solution from the storage tank 330 to the infusion end 310. In a specific configuration, one end of the injection pump 320 is tightly connected to the storage tank 330, and the other end of the injection pump 320 is tightly connected to the infusion end 310.

[0062] In specific settings, to prevent the filling end 310 from detaching from the bag body due to pipe shaking caused by liquid suction, in this embodiment, the filling end 310 is preferably fixedly set on the upper edge of the weighing panel 210, and the filling end 310 is bent at a predetermined angle along the weighing panel 210, thereby ensuring the correspondence between the filling end 310 and the bag opening and ensuring the stable operation of the liquid injection process.

[0063] Based on the above embodiments, in another possible embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG1, the above-mentioned absorption component 400 is specifically composed of a treatment tank 430, a suction pump 420 and the above-mentioned suction end 410. The treatment tank 430 is detachably disposed at the lower end of the housing 100 for easy replacement by medical personnel. Ammonia or other treatment liquids can be filled into the treatment tank 430. Since the main component of formalin is formaldehyde, by adding an appropriate amount of ammonia to formalin, the ammonia reacts with formalin to generate cyclohexamethylenetetramine (urotropine) and water. By absorbing the volatile gas of formalin into the treatment tank 430, the fixation effect of formalin can be reduced, thereby achieving the effect of purifying the gas in the housing 100.

[0064] The suction pump 420 should have a unidirectional suction function. One end of the suction pump 420 is tightly connected to the treatment tank 430, and the other end is tightly connected to the suction end 410. When the suction pump 420 starts working, the suction direction is from the suction end 410 to the treatment tank 430, thereby reducing the volatile formaldehyde gas in the air inside the housing 100. In the above embodiment, the treatment tank 430 and the storage tank 330 should also be selected with a ventilation structure to ensure stable air pressure inside the tank during the above operation.

[0065] In the above embodiments, to facilitate the replacement of the liquid storage tank 330 and the treatment tank 430 by medical personnel, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a pull-out component 120 is also provided on the lower side of the housing 100. The pull-out component 120 is similar to a drawer and is slidably connected to the housing 100. The liquid storage tank 330 and the treatment tank 430 are detachably installed in the pull-out component 120, thereby facilitating the replacement by medical personnel. In a specific configuration, a sealing strip should be provided at the joint between the pull-out component 120 and the housing 100 to ensure that the joint between the pull-out component 120 and the housing 100 is sealed, preventing the formalin in the liquid storage tank 330 from leaking and evaporating in the workplace.

[0066] In another possible embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG1, a support platform (not shown in the figure) is further provided inside the housing 100. Specifically, the support platform is a plate arranged horizontally at a predetermined height inside the housing 100 and fixedly connected to the housing 100. Its function is to support the weighing assembly 200, ensuring that the weighing panel 210 can be positioned at a predetermined location corresponding to the sealing cover 110, facilitating operation by medical personnel. In this embodiment, the weighing assembly 200 specifically includes an electronic scale 220, the lower end of which is fixedly mounted on the support platform. The weighing panel 210 is fixedly installed on the weighing surface of the electronic scale 220. Therefore, when medical staff place the bag containing the sample on the weighing panel 210, the electronic scale 220 can calculate the actual weight of the sample based on the weight change and record it. When the infusion component 300 infuses formalin into the bag, the electronic scale 220 can monitor the total weight of the bag in real time and provide feedback to the processing component 600. This allows the processing component 600 to control the infusion volume of the infusion component 300 in real time, avoiding leakage caused by insufficient formalin to sample ratio or excessive formalin in the bag.

[0067] Based on the above embodiments, as shown in Figure 1, to prevent the bag from tilting during filling or from having a poor sealing effect due to unevenness during sealing, the sealing assembly 500 in this embodiment further includes a sealing swing arm 520. The sealing swing arm 520 includes a drive shaft 521 that is rotatably positioned on the above-mentioned bearing platform. A first drive motor 526 is provided on one side of the drive shaft 521. The first drive motor 526 is fixedly connected to the housing 100. A first support rod 522 and a second support rod 523 are symmetrically arranged on the drive shaft 521 at positions corresponding to both sides of the weighing panel 210. The first support rod 522 and the second support rod 523 are arranged in parallel and fixedly connected to the drive shaft 521, so that the relative positions of the first support rod 522 and the second support rod 523 with the weighing panel 210 can be adjusted by rotating the drive shaft 521.

[0068] A first pressure rod 524 is provided on one side of the first support rod 522 corresponding to the weighing panel 210, and a second pressure rod 525 is provided on one side of the second support rod 523 corresponding to the weighing panel 210. The first pressure rod 524 and the second pressure rod 525 are set at a predetermined distance apart. When the drive shaft 521 rotates to the predetermined position, the first pressure rod 524 and the second pressure rod 525 abut against the weighing panel 210. In the specific implementation of this embodiment, the bag containing the sample is first placed on the weighing panel 210 with the bag opening facing upwards, and the filling end 310 is inserted into the bag along the center of the bag opening, and the two sides of the opening of the bag are relatively flat. Then, the first drive motor 526 is started, which drives the drive shaft 521 to rotate so that the first pressure rod 524 and the second pressure rod 525 are respectively pressed against the positions on both sides of the bag opening on the weighing panel 210, thereby fixing the bag opening during the filling process and preventing the leakage of formalin liquid due to the tilting of the bag opening.

[0069] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, to make the bag opening more flat and ensure the sealing effect, the sealing assembly 500 in this embodiment also includes a pressure plate 528. The pressure plate 528 is fixedly disposed on one side of the first pressure rod 524 and the second pressure rod 525, so that the first pressure rod 524 and the second pressure rod 525 are fixedly connected as a whole. In this embodiment, the first pressure rod 524 should be rotatably connected to the first support rod 522, and the second pressure rod 525 should be rotatably connected to the second support rod 523. A second drive motor 527 is provided on one side of the first pressure rod 524. The second drive motor 527 is fixedly connected to the first support rod 522, and its moving shaft is fixedly connected to the first pressure rod 524, thereby achieving the effect of driving the first pressure rod 524 to rotate. When the first pressure rod 524 (driving the pressure plate 528 and the second pressure rod 525) rotates to a predetermined angle, one side of the pressure plate 528 abuts against the weighing panel 210; in a unit In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, during filling, the filling end 310 extends into the bag opening, and the two sides of the bag opening are pressed and fixed by the first pressure rod 524 and the second pressure rod 525. When the filling ends, the filling end 310 retracts and falls off the bag opening. At this time, the bag opening will inevitably have wrinkles, resulting in unevenness. In response to this situation, the second drive motor 527 operates to make the first pressure rod 524 shown in Figure 1 rotate counterclockwise. Since the first pressure rod 524 and the second pressure rod 525 are smoothly arranged, they generate a slight friction force on one side of the bag body during rotation, which counteracts the gravity of the liquid inside the bag. After rotation, the first pressure rod 524 and the second pressure rod 525 play a certain role in smoothing the bag opening. When the first pressure rod 524 rotates to the predetermined position, one side of the pressure plate 528 abuts against the weighing panel 210, thereby achieving further smoothing of the bag opening. When the sealing device 510 starts to work, it presses and seals the smoothed bag opening, which can achieve a better sealing effect.

[0070] In this embodiment, the bag for holding the sample can be preset so that the side corresponding to the weighing panel 210 has a high coefficient of friction to prevent slippage, and the side away from the weighing panel 210 is relatively smooth. A limiting structure is provided at the bag opening on this side to prevent slippage from the pressing position of the first pressure rod 524 and the second pressure rod 525. The bag with this configuration can form a better fit with the above structure, further improving the stability of the above-mentioned automated sample retention processing.

[0071] In another possible embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG1, the working principle of the sealing device 510 is based on the thermoplasticity of plastic. Plastic bags are usually made of chain polymer materials, which melt when heated and solidify when cooled. The sealing device 510 melts and re-bonds the sealing portion of the plastic bag by heating it. In this embodiment, the specific component that realizes the above-mentioned heat conduction function is the sealing plate 511. An adjusting shaft 512 is provided on one side of the sealing plate 511. The adjusting shaft 512 is rotatably positioned on the sealing cover 110. A third drive motor 513 is provided on one side of the adjusting shaft 512. The third drive motor 513 is fixedly connected to the sealing cover 110, so that when the third drive motor 513 is started, it can drive the adjusting shaft 512 and the sealing plate 511 to rotate.

[0072] In this embodiment, the sealing plate 511 is bent at a certain angle, and when rotated to a predetermined angle, the sealing plate 511 abuts against the weighing panel 210. In a specific setting, the abutting position of the sealing plate 511 is located on one side of the pressure plate 528. The bag opening pressed by the pressure plate 528 is relatively flat, and with the sealing plate 511, a better sealing effect can be formed. In this embodiment, the sealing device 510 also has other functional structures, such as a heating structure for heating, a sensor for sensing a predetermined temperature, and a timer for timing the heating time. Since the functional structure of the sealing device 510 is very mature in the prior art, those skilled in the art can make settings in combination with the prior art, and this application does not limit this.

[0073] In another possible embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG2, the processing component 600 specifically includes a processor, a display panel 610, a printer, and a scanner 630. The processor is used to control the functional components that are signal-connected to the processing component 600. Specifically, the processor is signal-connected to the weighing component 200, the filling component 300, the absorption component 400, and the sealing component 500. A preset program is provided in the processor, which can acquire signals from the functional components and control the functional components to run or stop running.

[0074] The display panel 610 is connected to the processor via a signal. The display panel 610 has the function of displaying the information acquired by the processor and the operation items in the preset program. In actual setup, the display panel 610 is located on the outside of the housing 100. The display panel 610 is preferably set as a touch panel, so that medical staff can select the corresponding function through touch to perform targeted automated processing of samples.

[0075] Printer 620 is connected to the processor via a signal. Printer 620 is a label printer 620 used to print the information about the current sample obtained by the processor onto a label or to print an information code containing relevant information on the label, so that medical staff can distinguish different samples according to the label in subsequent processing.

[0076] The scanner 630 is connected to the processor. In actual use, the scanner 630 can be used to obtain the information code of the existing medical system affixed to the sample bag, so as to facilitate the input of information about the sample into the indwelling sample automatic processing machine. In cooperation with the printer 620 mentioned above, it can automatically generate labels with relevant information about the current sample processing and other sample information, so that medical staff can obtain the sample information in the next process.

[0077] In the above embodiment, a gas detector should also be provided inside the housing 100. The gas detector is used to detect the gas concentration after the formalin inside the housing 100 evaporates. The gas detector is connected to the processing component 600, so that the operator can be warned through the display panel 610 to avoid the operator from opening the sealing cover 110 if the gas treatment is not up to standard or if there is a formalin leak.

[0078] In addition, as shown in Figure 2, several casters 130 are provided at the lower end of the housing 100. The casters 130 facilitate the movement of the automatic sample processing machine by medical staff, making it convenient to arrange or use in different departments.

[0079] In another embodiment of the present invention, a camera is also provided inside the housing 100 at the position corresponding to the weighing panel. The camera can record the process of injecting formalin into the sample. The camera is connected to the display panel 610 and the image captured by the camera can be displayed in real time on the display panel 610, so that medical staff can observe the actual progress of sample processing without opening the sealing cover 110 and verify the standardization and reliability of the sample processing process.

[0080] Furthermore, with the cooperation of the aforementioned camera and scanner 630, as well as the storage device in the automatic sample processing machine, the process of processing the retained samples can be traced. The scanner 630 acquires the identity information of the patient corresponding to the retained sample, and the processor can match this identity information with the image captured and saved by the display and store it. In actual use, the information of the processed retained sample can be retrieved through the display panel 610, realizing the traceability of the processing of the retained sample and facilitating medical staff to determine the validity of the retained sample.

[0081] Based on the above embodiments, the actual usage process of the automatic sample processing machine of the present invention is as follows:

[0082] As shown in Figure 2, after placing the sample into the predetermined sample bag, the medical staff scans the preset information on the sample bag using the scanner 630; observes the display panel 610 of the indwelling sample automatic processing machine. When the display panel 610 shows that the formalin volatilization concentration meets the standard, the medical staff opens the sealing cap 110, places the sample bag containing the sample with the bag opening facing upwards on the weighing panel 210, and inserts the extended telescopic end into the middle of the bag opening; then the medical staff starts the indwelling sample automatic processing machine through the display panel 610. The sealing swing arm 520 rotates, causing the first pressure rod 524 and the second pressure rod 525 to press the two sides of the bag opening together. After confirming that everything is correct, the medical staff closes the sealing cap 110 and further starts the indwelling sample automatic processing machine through the display panel 610.

[0083] At this time, the weighing component 200 records the overall weight of the current sample bag, and obtains and records the actual weight of the sample after calculating and deducting the pressure of the first pressure bar 524 and the second pressure bar 525 and the weight of the sample bag; the filling component 300 fills the sample bag with formalin solution through the filling end 310. During the process, the absorption component 400 absorbs and treats the volatile gas of formalin. The weighing component 200 monitors the injection volume of formalin solution according to the proportion of the sample weight. After injecting an appropriate weight, the filling component 300 stops filling and controls the telescopic end to retract away from the bag opening; at this time, the first pressure bar 524 and the second pressure bar 525 rotate to flatten the bag opening and press the pressure plate 528 at the bag opening to initially seal the bag opening;

[0084] Then, the sealing plate 511 is driven to rotate and abut against the bag opening, sealing the bag opening through the thermoplasticity of the sample bag. After that, all the above-mentioned functional components are reset. If the display panel 610 shows that the air concentration inside the housing 100 meets the standard, medical staff can open the sealing cover 110, take out the sample bag that has been filled and sealed, and proceed to the next process.

[0085] This invention features a weighing panel 210 with a tilted angle, allowing bagged samples to be placed on it for recording sample and injection data. After the sealing cap 110 is closed, the processing component 600 controls the injection end 310 to inject a predetermined amount of formalin liquid into the bag, while the absorption end absorbs the volatile gas. After injection is complete, the sealing device 510 seals the sample bag. This invention can replace manual addition of formalin to specimens, effectively handles the volatile gas of formalin, and reduces health risks caused by long-term operation by medical personnel.

[0086] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a sample processing device, which includes the automatic indwelling sample processor described in any one of the above embodiments. The automatic indwelling sample processor includes: a housing with a sealing cover rotatably connected to its upper end; a weighing assembly including a weighing panel inclined at a predetermined angle; an infusion assembly including an infusion end corresponding to the upper edge of the weighing panel, the infusion end being a telescopic end; an absorption assembly including a suction end disposed on one side of the infusion end; a sealing assembly including a sealing device corresponding to the position on the upper side of the weighing panel; and a processing assembly that is signal-connected to the weighing assembly, the infusion assembly, the absorption assembly, and the sealing assembly. This invention features a weighing panel with a tilted angle, allowing bagged samples to be placed on it for recording sample and injection data. Once the sealing cap is closed, the processing component controls the injection end to inject a predetermined amount of formalin liquid into the bag, while the absorption end absorbs the volatile gases. After injection is complete, the sealing device seals the sample bag. This invention can replace manual addition of formalin to specimens, effectively handles formalin volatile gases, and reduces health risks caused by long-term operation by medical personnel.

[0087] In summary, the present invention provides an automatic sample processing machine and sample processing apparatus for indwelling samples. The automatic sample processing machine includes: a housing with a sealing cap rotatably connected to its upper end; a weighing assembly including a weighing panel inclined at a predetermined angle; an infusion assembly including an infusion end corresponding to the upper edge of the weighing panel, the infusion end being a telescopic end; an absorption assembly including a suction end disposed on one side of the infusion end; a sealing assembly including a sealing device corresponding to a position on the upper side of the weighing panel; and a processing assembly that is signal-connected to the weighing assembly, the infusion assembly, the absorption assembly, and the sealing assembly.
