[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0030] First embodiment:
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 ,in Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the medical record storage device. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the drawer mechanism. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the lifting platform. Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of the clamping component. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 Enlarged view of point A.
[0032] This invention provides a medical record storage device, which includes a cabinet 101, a cabinet door 102, casters 103, and a storage assembly 104. The storage assembly 104 includes a vertical partition 105, a horizontal partition 106, a pull-out drawer 107, and a lifting component 108. The lifting component 108 includes a placement seat 109, a lifting seat 110, a drive seat 111, a clamping component 112, and a tension spring 113. The drive seat 111 includes a seat body 114, a connecting rod 115, and a push seat 116. The clamping component 112 includes a limiting plate 117, a clamping seat 118, and a return spring 119. The clamping seat 118 includes a housing 120, a compression spring 121, and a pressure block 122. The pressure block 122 includes a block body 123 and rollers 124. 24. By pushing the drive seat 111, when the drive seat 111 moves to a lifting seat 110, the movement of the drive seat 111 will drive the lifting seat 110 to rise, thereby causing the corresponding lifting seat 110 to lift the placement seat 109, thus raising the medical record at the drive seat 111, making it easier for medical staff to observe the medical record information and find the medical record. During the process of the placement seat 109 rising, the clamping component 112 releases the clamp on the medical record, making it easier for medical staff to take out the medical record. It can be understood that the above solution can be used to facilitate medical staff to take out and find the medical record, and can also be used to solve the problem of preventing unauthorized personnel from opening the cabinet door 102 to browse the medical record and causing the leakage of patient privacy.
[0033] In this specific embodiment, the cabinet door 102 is rotatably mounted on the cabinet body 101, and the movable wheels 103 are mounted on the cabinet body 101. There are four movable wheels 103, which are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom of the cabinet body 101. The cabinet body 101 is moved by the movable wheels 103, and the cabinet door 102 seals the cabinet body 101.
[0034] The storage component 104 includes a vertical partition 105, a horizontal partition 106, a pull-out drawer 107, and a lifting mechanism 108. The vertical partition 105 is fixedly connected to the cabinet body 101 and located inside the cabinet body 101. The horizontal partition 106 is fixedly connected to the cabinet body 101 and located inside the cabinet body 101. The pull-out drawer 107 is slidably connected to the cabinet body 101 and located inside the cabinet body 101. The placement seat 109 is slidably connected to the pull-out drawer 107 and located inside the pull-out drawer 107. The lifting seat 110 is fixedly connected to the placement seat 109 and located on one side of the placement seat 109. The drive... The seat 111 is slidably connected to the pull-out drawer 107 and is mounted on the pull-out drawer 107. The clamping component 112 is mounted on the placement seat 109 and clamps the medical records. The cabinet 101 has multiple horizontal partitions 106 inside, which divide the upper space of the cabinet 101 into multiple archive rooms 125. The horizontal partitions 106 divide the lower part of the cabinet 101 into two placement rooms 126. Since there may be insufficient space for a large number of medical records, the archive rooms 125 are used to archive older medical records, saving space, while the placement rooms 126 are used to store more recent medical records, facilitating medical staff. For searching and retrieving, four pull-out drawers 107 are provided, located in two of the placement chambers 126 respectively. Each pull-out drawer 107 contains multiple placement seats 109, a lifting seat 110, and a clamping component 112. The placement seats 109 have placement slots for placing medical records, preventing them from falling or tipping over after the clamping component 112 releases its grip. The lifting seat 110 and the drive seat 111 have mutually cooperating inclined surfaces. In use, medical staff place the medical records in the placement seats 109 and clamp them using the clamping component 112 to prevent them from shaking or tipping over. The drive seat 111 and the lifting seat 110 are provided with mutually cooperating inclined surfaces, so that the lateral movement of the drive seat 111 can drive the lifting seat 110 to rise. When medical staff search for or retrieve medical records, they push the drive seat 111 to move. When the drive seat 111 moves to the lifting seat 110, it will drive the corresponding lifting seat 110 to rise, thereby driving the corresponding placement seat 109 and the medical records inside it to rise, making it easier for medical staff to find medical records. At the same time as the placement seat 109 rises, the clamping component 112 releases the clamp on the medical records, making it easier for medical staff to retrieve the medical records, thereby achieving the purpose of making it easier for medical staff to find and retrieve medical records.
[0035] Secondly, one end of the tension spring 113 is connected to the pull-out drawer 107, and the other end of the tension spring 113 is connected to the placement seat 109. The tension spring 113 is located inside the pull-out drawer 107. The tension spring 113 is elastic and can extend and retract. The number of tension springs 113 is the same as the number of placement seats 109. When the drive seat 111 is moved away from one of the lifting seats 110, the corresponding placement seat 109 can be reset under the action of the tension spring 113, so as to facilitate the reset of the placement seat 109.
[0036] Meanwhile, the seat 114 is slidably connected to the pull-out drawer 107 and is located inside the pull-out drawer 107; the connecting rod 115 is fixedly connected to the seat 114 and is disposed on the seat 114; the push seat 116 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 115 and is located on the side of the connecting rod 115 away from the seat 114. The seat 114 is provided with an inclined surface that cooperates with the inclined surface on the lifting seat 110. The connecting rod 115 connects the seat 114 and the push seat 116. The push seat 116 facilitates medical staff to push the drive seat 111 to move. In use, medical staff push the push seat 116 to move the connecting rod 115 and the seat 114, so that the inclined surface on the seat 114 abuts against the inclined surface on the lifting seat 110, thereby driving the lifting seat 110 to rise.
[0037] In addition, the limiting plate 117 is fixedly connected to the pull-out drawer 107 and is located inside the pull-out drawer 107; the clamping seat 118 is slidably connected to the placement seat 109 and is disposed on the placement seat 109; one end of the return spring 119 abuts against the clamping seat 118, the other end of the return spring 119 abuts against the placement seat 109, and the return spring 119 is located inside the placement seat 109.
[0038] The housing 120 abuts against the reset spring 119 and is slidably connected to the placement seat 109, and is disposed on the placement seat 109; the compression spring 121 is connected to the housing 120 and is located inside the housing 120; the pressure block 122 is slidably connected to the housing 120 and is connected to the compression spring 121, and is disposed on the housing 120.
[0039] Multiple limiting plates 117 are provided and are staggered with the placement seats 109. Each placement seat 109 is provided with multiple return springs 119 and clamping seats 118. The clamping seats 118 are evenly installed on the left and right sides of the placement seat 109. Both the compression spring 121 and the return spring 119 are elastic and capable of extension and retraction. The housing 120 and the limiting plates 117 are provided with mutually cooperating inclined surfaces. When the placement seat 109 is not raised under the action of the drive seat 111, the clamping seats 118 abut against the limiting plates 117. At this time, the clamping seats 118 on the left and right sides of the placement seat 109 mutually... The medical record is brought closer and clamped. At this time, the return spring 119 is in a compressed state. When the placement seat 109 rises under the action of the drive seat 111, the placement seat 109 drives the clamping seat 118 to rise. When the clamping seat 118 disengages from the limiting plate 117, the clamping seat 118 can move away from the medical record under the action of the return spring 119, thereby releasing the clamping of the medical record and making it easier to remove the medical record. At the same time, through the elasticity of the return spring 119, the pressure block 122 can extend and retract on the housing 120, thereby changing the overall length of the clamping seat 118, which is convenient for clamping medical records of different thicknesses.
[0040] Finally, the block 123 is connected to the compression spring 121 and the housing 120, and is located inside the housing 120; the roller 124 is rotatably connected to the block 123 and is disposed on the block 123. The roller 124 abuts against the medical record. Since the roller 124 can rotate, the friction between the clamping seat 118 and the medical record is reduced, allowing medical staff to directly pull out the clamped medical record, avoiding scratches or tears to the medical record. When medical staff know which placement seat 109 the medical record is in, they can directly pull out the medical record, saving the process of pushing the drive seat 111 to find the medical record and improving the efficiency of retrieving the medical record.
[0041] When using the medical record storage device of this embodiment, when medical staff retrieve the medical record, they push the drive seat 111 to move. When the drive seat 111 moves to the lifting seat 110, the movement of the drive seat 111 will drive the lifting seat 110 to rise, thereby causing the corresponding placement seat 109 and the medical record to rise, making it easier to find the medical record. When the placement seat 109 rises, the clamping seat 118 moves away from the medical record under the action of the return spring 119, thereby releasing the clamping of the medical record, making it easier for medical staff to retrieve the medical record. After the drive seat 111 moves past the lifting seat 110, the placement seat 109 can be reset under the action of the tension spring 113, thereby causing the placement seat 109 to fall. During the descent of the placement seat 109, the clamping seat 118 falls, causing the clamping seat 118 to abut against the inclined surface on the limiting plate 117, and under the action of the limiting plate 117, the medical record is clamped again, achieving the purpose of making it easier for medical staff to find and retrieve the medical record.
[0042] Second embodiment:
[0043] Based on the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the electronic lock in the second embodiment. The medical record storage device in this embodiment also includes an electronic lock 201 and an RFID reader 202.
[0044] In this specific embodiment, the electronic lock 201 is fixedly connected to the cabinet door 102 and is installed on the cabinet door 102, locking the cabinet door 102 onto the cabinet body 101. The RFID reader 202 is fixedly connected to the cabinet door 102 and is located on the side of the cabinet door 102 closest to the electronic lock 201, and is electrically connected to the electronic lock 201. In this embodiment, the medical staff's name tag has an embedded electronic tag that works with the RFID reader 202. The electronic lock 201 locks the cabinet door 102 to prevent non-medical staff from opening the cabinet door 102. When medical staff need to access medical records, the electronic tag embedded in the medical staff's name tag is identified by the RFID reader 202. After successful verification, the electronic lock 201 opens the door, preventing non-medical staff from viewing the medical records.
[0045] Third embodiment:
[0046] Based on the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the compression spring in the second embodiment. The medical record storage device in this embodiment also includes a compression spring 301 and a compression plate 302.
[0047] In this specific embodiment, the compression spring 301 is fixedly connected to the transverse partition 106 and is located on one side of the transverse partition 106; the compression plate 302 is connected to the compression spring 301 and is located on the side of the compression spring 301 away from the transverse partition 106. The compression spring 301 is elastic and can extend and retract. The compression spring 301 drives the compression plate 302 to move downward, so that the compression plate 302 can compress the archived medical records. When a new archived medical record needs to be added, the compression plate 302 is pushed upward, and the medical records are stacked.
[0048] Fourth embodiment:
[0049] A method for storing medical records includes the following steps:
[0050] S101: Manually open cabinet door 102 and pull out drawer 107;
[0051] S102: Manually push the drive seat 111 to move, so that the drive seat 111 drives the corresponding lifting seat 110 to rise;
[0052] S103: The lifting seat 110 causes the corresponding placement seat 109 and medical record to rise;
[0053] S104: The placement seat 109 rises, causing the clamping seat 118 to rise, so that the clamping seat 118 is disengaged from the limiting plate 117;
[0054] S105: The clamping seat 118 moves away from the medical record under the action of the return spring 119, releasing the clamping of the medical record.
[0055] Medical staff first identify the electronic tag on the name tag using the RFID reader 202, which unlocks the electronic lock 201. When the medical staff opens the cabinet door 102 and pulls out the pull-out drawer 107, they push the drive seat 111 to move. During the movement, the drive seat 111 drives the lifting seat 110 to rise. The lifting seat 110 lifts the placement seat 109 and the medical records inside it to the top, making it easier to observe and locate the medical records. As the placement seat 109 rises, it also lifts the clamping seat 118. When the clamping seat 118 disengages from the limiting plate 117, it moves away from the medical records under the action of the return spring 119, thereby releasing the clamp on the medical records. At this time, the medical staff can take out the medical records.
