Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample transport technology, and in particular to a non-contamination-proof and traceable disposable sample transport inner liner structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical testing, samples are frequently transported between sampling points, storage points, and testing points. Sample transport boxes are one of the commonly used pieces of equipment in the process from medical testing to clinical diagnosis, and are an essential material carrier for the transportation of biological samples. In the daily transportation of medical test samples, especially when dealing with infectious diseases, forensic samples, infant samples, or highly sensitive samples, contamination control, traceability, and liability confirmation are extremely important. Currently, the most common transportation method uses reusable sample transport boxes. Samples are packaged and managed using methods such as plastic bags and labels, and after packaging, they are placed in the sample transport box for transportation.

[0003] However, existing sample transport methods generally have the following problems: On the one hand, the sample fixation effect inside the transport box is not good, and the sample is prone to collision and damage during transportation. After the sample is damaged, it is easy to leak, which leads to the risk of cross-contamination between different samples in the reused transport box; on the other hand, existing transport boxes lack a unified sample information module and identification mechanism, which is not conducive to the subsequent verification of samples. When unexpected situations occur, the responsibility is not clearly defined. In particular, when problems such as sample leakage or replacement occur, there is a lack of a visual traceability mechanism, which is not conducive to the full traceability of samples. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems of cross-contamination risks among different samples in reusable transport boxes, the lack of visual traceability mechanisms, and the difficulty in subsequent sample verification and full sample traceability in existing technologies, this utility model provides the following technical solution.

[0005] This utility model discloses a pollution-proof and traceable disposable sample transport inner liner structure, comprising a shell with several locking grooves at the bottom and an upper cover with an information plate at the top of the shell. A disposable seal is used to seal the shell and the upper cover. Shock-absorbing components are provided on the outer periphery of the shell. The inner cavity of the shell is provided with a lower shock-absorbing layer and a sample rack with several sample holes located above the lower shock-absorbing layer. The lower part of the upper cover is provided with several pressing columns that press down on the upper end of the sample rack when closed. The lower part of the upper cover is provided with an upper shock-absorbing layer located above the sample rack.

[0006] As a further technical solution, the shock-absorbing component includes a plurality of shock-absorbing airbags located on the outer wall of the housing, and at least one of the shock-absorbing airbags has an inflation port connected to its upper end.

[0007] As a further technical solution, a connecting hose is fixedly connected between adjacent shock-absorbing airbags, and the connecting hose and the shock-absorbing airbag surround the shell.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the connecting hose is an elastic hose, and the connecting hose and the shock-absorbing airbag are elastically pressed against the periphery of the housing.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the lower damping layer includes a damping body fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing and an abutment groove corresponding to the sample hole.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the upper end of the housing is provided with a protrusion, and the upper cover is provided with a locking plate that engages with the protrusion.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The disposable inner liner structure enhances the shock absorption of samples, and the outer periphery of the shell is equipped with shock-absorbing components that can fit tightly against the inner wall of the transport box and absorb shock. This enhances contamination control during sample transportation while maintaining the original transport box structure. After each use, the inner liner structure can be directly replaced to prevent sample contamination of the transport box and reduce the risk of cleaning and cross-infection. The top cover is equipped with an information panel and a disposable seal that seals with the shell, giving the inner liner structure clear information modules and a visible seal, providing a visible traceability mechanism that enables identification of responsible parties and full sample traceability.

Detailed Implementation

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model 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 present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0014] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0015] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a contamination-proof, traceable, disposable sample transport inner liner structure, including a shell 1 and a top cover 2 that fits over the upper end of the shell 1. This inner liner structure is placed inside an existing transport box for transporting various biological sample tubes of different capacities. This inner liner structure is a disposable item and can be directly recycled after use. Existing transport boxes are mostly 20L or 30L in capacity, and the external shape of this inner liner structure matches the internal shape of the existing transport box.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the shell 1 has several locking grooves 101 at its bottom. In this embodiment, there are four locking grooves 101, which are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom of the shell 1. The locking grooves 101 correspond to the four corner protrusions at the bottom of the existing transfer box. When the shell 1 is inserted, it is gently locked in and positioned using the structure of the transfer box itself. The upper end of the top cover 2 is provided with an information plate 4, which is printed with the unique number of the sample. It can be identified by barcode or QR code and linked to the LIS system or manual sample list to achieve traceability of sample information. At the same time, a one-time seal 4 is used to seal the shell 1 and the top cover 2. The top cover 2 can only be opened by tearing the one-time seal 4. Once the one-time seal 4 is opened, it cannot be restored. It is used to confirm the original responsible party of the sample and form a closed-loop record.

[0017] One side of the top cover 2 is hinged to one side of the housing 1. The other side of the upper end of the housing 1 has a protrusion 102. The top cover 2 has a locking plate 202 that engages with the protrusion 102. Thus, the top cover 2 can be locked onto the upper end of the housing 1. Of course, as a disposable inner liner structure, the top cover 2 may not be hinged to the housing 1. In this case, both sides of the upper end of the housing have protrusions 102, and both sides of the top cover 2 have locking plates 202 that engage with the protrusions 102. The top cover 2 can be directly locked onto the upper end of the housing 1. This utility model does not impose any particular limitation on this.

[0018] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the inner cavity of the housing 1 is provided with a lower shock-absorbing layer 6, which is made of sponge material. A sample holder 8 is provided above the lower shock-absorbing layer 6, abutting against the inner wall of the housing 1. The sample holder 8 has several sample holes 801, the capacity of which can be set in various ways to accommodate sample tubes of different specifications. The lower part of the upper cover 2 is provided with several pressing pillars 201. After the upper cover 2 is closed at the upper end of the housing 1, the pressing pillars 201 press down onto the upper end of the sample holder 8, stabilizing the sample holder 8 within the housing 1. The lower part of the upper cover 2 is provided with an upper shock-absorbing layer 7 located above the sample holder 8. The upper shock-absorbing layer 7 is also made of sponge. Thus, the lower shock-absorbing layer 6 and the upper shock-absorbing layer 7 can dampen the upper and lower ends of the sample tubes within the sample holes 801.

[0019] The lower damping layer 6 includes a damping body 601 fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1 and an abutment groove 602 corresponding to the sample hole 801. The shape of the abutment groove 602 matches the shape of the lower end of the sample tube, which can further reduce the vibration of the sample tube.

[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a shock-absorbing component 5 is provided on the outer periphery of the housing 1. The shock-absorbing component 5 abuts against the inner wall of the existing transfer box, which can reduce the vibration from the transfer box and keep the housing 1 in a stable position relative to the existing transfer box. Specifically, the shock-absorbing component 5 includes several shock-absorbing airbags 501 located on the outer wall of the housing 1. The inflated shock-absorbing airbags 501 can ensure that the housing 1 and the inner wall of the transfer box remain stable. There are four shock-absorbing airbags 501, which are located around the housing 1. The four shock-absorbing airbags 501 can be independent or integrated. In this embodiment, one of the four shock-absorbing airbags 501 is connected to an inflation port 503 at its upper end. At this time, a connecting hose 502 is fixedly connected between adjacent shock-absorbing airbags 501. The connecting hose 502 and the shock-absorbing airbag 501 surround the housing 1. The inflation port 503 is used for manual inflation, so that the four shock-absorbing airbags 501 are filled with air at the same time and with the same pressure. Four shock-absorbing airbags 501 can be bonded to the housing 1 to keep it stable.

[0021] Of course, the shock-absorbing component 5 is located on the outside of the housing 1, does not contact the sample tube, and has a certain degree of reusability. At this time, the connecting hose 502 can be an elastic hose. The connecting hose 502 and the shock-absorbing airbag 501 elastically press against the periphery of the housing 1 and tighten around the periphery of the housing 1. After the housing 1 is used, it is recycled, and the shock-absorbing component 5 can be reused after use.

[0022] The preferred embodiments and examples of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and examples. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
