AI Technical Summary
Existing live cell transport devices lack the function of fixing and shock absorption of test tubes during transportation, making cell test tubes prone to breakage.
An active cell transport device was designed, which uses a limiting protrusion and cover plate within a rectangular frame, an annular air bladder, a sponge pad, and a micro air pump system. The test tube is fixed and shock-absorbing by the expansion and clamping of the air bladder and the cushioning of the sponge pad.
This effectively prevents test tube damage during transportation, maintains cell viability, provides a sealed and insulated environment, and reduces the impact of vibration during transportation.

[0002] Viable cell transplantation is a medical technique that involves collecting lymphocytes, macrophages, and other cells from a patient, culturing and activating them in a laboratory, and then injecting them into the patient's body. It is primarily used to treat locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer and can be used as an adjunct therapy. By activating the patient's own immune system to fight cancer, it is particularly suitable for patients who cannot tolerate chemotherapy or surgery. Viable cell transplantation requires cell transport. During transport, the test tubes containing the cells are typically placed in a cell transport device for temporary storage. Most existing viable cell transport devices are transport boxes containing ice packs or dry ice to maintain a low-temperature environment and ensure cell viability. However, when using existing viable cell transport devices, the lack of fixation and shock absorption within the box makes the test tubes containing viable cells easily damaged by bumps during transport.
[0003] Therefore, we have designed an active cell transport device here. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment: an active cell transport device includes a box 1. A rectangular frame 2 is installed on the bottom inner side of the box 1. Multiple evenly distributed ventilation holes 2-2 are opened on the four side walls of the rectangular frame 2. During use, an ice pack can be placed in the gap between the box 1 and the rectangular frame 2 to maintain a low-temperature environment inside the box 1 during transport, ensuring cell viability. A limiting protrusion 2-1 is provided on the inner side of the rectangular frame 2 near the top. A cover plate 3 is placed on the limiting protrusion 2-1. A second rubber gasket 19 is attached to the top of the limiting protrusion 2-1, placing it between the limiting protrusion 2-1 and the cover plate 3. A groove is opened on the top of the cover plate 3, and an arc-shaped rubber sheet 18 is installed in the groove. The function of the rubber sheet 18 is to facilitate the user to open the cover plate 3 covering the rectangular frame 2. An upper sponge pad 4 is installed at the bottom of plate 3, and a lower sponge pad 5 is installed at the bottom of box 1 and inside the rectangular frame 2. A horizontal plate 6 is installed inside the rectangular frame 2. The horizontal plate 6 has multiple through holes arranged in an array, and a cylinder 7 is installed at each through hole. An annular airbag 8 is installed inside all cylinders 7. The inside of the cylinder 7 is used to place test tube 21. After placing test tube 21 inside the cylinder 7, the cover plate 3 is placed on the rectangular frame 2. At this time, the upper sponge pad 4 can press on the top of test tube 21, and the lower sponge pad 5 can support the bottom of test tube 21. The upper sponge pad 4 and the lower sponge pad 5 work together to buffer the vertical vibration of test tube 21. When the annular airbag 8 is inflated, the inflated annular airbag 8 can clamp and fix test tube 21. At the same time, the annular airbag 8 can also buffer the horizontal vibration of test tube 21.
[0024] A miniature air pump 9 and an exhaust pipe 10 are installed on the outside of the housing 1. The exhaust pipe 10 is equipped with a sealing cap. A main air pipe 11 is installed inside the housing 1. One end of the main air pipe 11 is provided with two interfaces. One interface is connected to the air outlet of the miniature air pump 9 through a one-way valve 13. The inlet end of the one-way valve 13 is connected to the miniature air pump. The other interface is connected to the exhaust pipe 10. The other end of the main air pipe 11 is connected to multiple branch air pipes 12. The branch air pipes 12 are connected to all the annular airbags 8. The miniature air pump 9 is a portable wireless air pump. The miniature air pump 9 can inflate all the annular airbags 8, causing the annular airbags 8 to expand. When it is necessary to deflate the annular airbags 8, it is only necessary to open the sealing cap on the exhaust pipe 10 to allow the gas inside the annular airbags 8 to be discharged.
[0025] The top of the box body 1 is provided with a lid 14. Four buckles 15 arranged in an array are installed between the box body 1 and the lid 14. The function of the buckles 15 is to fix the box body 1 and the lid 14. When the lid 14 is on the box body 1, the bottom of the lid 14 can press against the cover plate 3, restricting the movement of the cover plate 3. At the same time, the rubber sheet 18 on the cover plate 3 will deform and retract into the groove on the cover plate 3. A handle 16 is rotatably installed at the top center of the lid 14. After the box body 1 and the lid 14 are fixed, the box body 1 can be lifted by the handle 16, which makes it convenient for the user to move the box body 1. The box body 1 and the lid 14 are both made of polyethylene plastic, which is lightweight and has high rigidity and durability. It is not only convenient for users to lift and carry, but also allows for easy handling of the items inside the box body 1. It provides excellent protection and reduces the impact of collisions during transportation. A first rubber gasket 17 is attached to the bottom of the box lid 14. The first rubber gasket 17 is placed between the box opening of the box body 1 and the box lid 14. The first sealing gasket 17 can seal the gap between the box body 1 and the box lid 14, so that the test tubes containing cells are in a sealed environment during transportation, avoiding the influence of the external environment on cell activity. A layer of insulation board 20 is attached to the inner wall of the box body 1 and the bottom of the box lid 14. The insulation board 20 can keep the inside of the box body 1 warm, reduce the influence of the external temperature on the internal temperature of the box body 1, and maintain the low temperature environment inside the box body 1. The insulation board 20 can be made of polyurethane insulation board, which is lightweight and has good moisture-proof and waterproof performance, and will not increase the thermal conductivity due to moisture absorption.
[0026] The working principle and usage procedure of this utility model are as follows: When using this active cell transport device, first place an ice pack in the gap between the box 1 and the rectangular frame 2 to ensure that the box 1 maintains a low temperature environment during transportation. Then, insert the test tubes 21 containing active cells into the cylinder 7 on the horizontal plate 6. Next, start the micro air pump 9. The micro air pump 9 works to inflate the annular air bladder 8 inside the cylinder 7. After the annular air bladder 8 inflates, it clamps and fixes the test tubes 21 inside the cylinder 7. Then, cover the rectangular frame 2 with the cover plate 3, and finally close the box. Cover 14 and fasten 15. During transportation, the upper sponge pad 4 at the top and the lower sponge pad 5 at the bottom of the test tube 21 work together to cushion the vertical vibrations of the test tube 21. The annular airbag 8 wrapped around the outside of the test tube 21 can cushion the horizontal vibrations of the test tube 21, thus preventing the test tube 21 from being damaged due to bumps during transportation. When it arrives at its destination, open the box cover 14 and the cover plate 3, then open the sealing cap on the exhaust pipe 10 to release the gas in the annular airbag 8, and finally take out the test tube 21.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
