Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical equipment, and in particular to a pneumatic fluid transport bottle. Background Technology

[0002] The pneumatic logistics transport system integrates advanced modern communication technology and opto-mechatronics technology. It connects various departments of the hospital, such as outpatient clinics, pharmacy, operating rooms, laboratories, blood banks, inpatient nursing stations, and central supply rooms, through a dedicated pipeline. It comprehensively solves the problem of automated material distribution in the hospital, enabling rapid transfer of items between departments and effectively addressing the issue of slow delivery of items during medical treatment.

[0003] The transfer bottle is the only carrier in the pneumatic logistics system. Because the transfer bottle moves at high speed inside the pipe and passes through vertical and horizontal bends without slowing down, it will collide with the inner wall of the pipe during high-speed movement and the contents of the bottle will be subjected to various vibrations. This places higher demands on the design of the transfer bottle.

[0004] Currently, while various designs of transfer bottles can achieve the transfer of items, accidents frequently occur during transport, such as damage to the contents due to collisions, items scattering into the pipes due to vibrations, and pipe blockages. Because the logistics pipes are located inside building ceilings, maintenance becomes extremely difficult, increasing the overall maintenance cost of the logistics system. Furthermore, in pneumatic logistics systems used in the medical industry, the losses from such problems during the transfer of high-value consumables or blood samples are difficult to estimate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a pneumatic logistics transport bottle that, while being easy to open, maintains the airtightness of the bottle during transportation, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the transport of goods.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a pneumatic logistics transfer bottle, comprising a bottle body for containing items, a bottle mouth configured as a tube, and a bottle cap, wherein one end of the bottle mouth is connected to the end of the bottle body, and the bottle cap is installed on the other end of the bottle mouth;

[0007] A first mounting hole is axially formed on the end face of the bottle mouth near the bottle cap. A second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole is formed on the end face of the bottle cap near the bottle mouth. A rotating sleeve fixed relative to the bottle cap is installed in the second mounting hole. A retaining sleeve fixed relative to the bottle mouth is installed in the first mounting hole. A pin passes through the retaining sleeve and the rotating sleeve in sequence, and the upper end of the pin is rotatably installed in the rotating sleeve, so that the rotating sleeve can rotate around the upper end of the pin.

[0008] The lower end of the pin extending from below the retaining sleeve has a radially outward flange. A compressed spring is fitted onto the pin, and the upper and lower ends of the spring are in contact with the lower end face of the retaining sleeve and the upper end face of the pin flange, respectively. The upper end of the pin is connected to the rotating sleeve through a retaining ring and a retaining groove, which restricts the pin from moving downward in the axial direction.

[0009] The retaining sleeve and the rotating sleeve are connected by two protrusions and at least two slots into which the protrusions can be inserted. The protrusions are located on the end face of the retaining sleeve near the rotating sleeve. The two end faces of the protrusions are symmetrically arranged slopes. These slopes are inclined inward in the direction near the slots. The inner surface of the slot is a slope that matches the slope of the protrusion. When the bottle cap is in the closed state, all the protrusions are inserted into one slot. When the bottle cap is in the open state, all the protrusions are inserted into the other slot.

[0010] The bottle body is provided with a protective sleeve, and a side plate is installed at both ends of the protective sleeve. The protective sleeve has an axially through opening. The two side plates are connected by a support shaft. A shelf is movably fitted on the support shaft. An elastic element is fitted at each end of the support shaft and between the shelf and the side plate.

[0011] Both ends of the support shaft are connected to the side plate through a jumping ring. The jumping ring is embedded in the mounting groove on the side plate and can move in the radial direction. The side plate is provided with a number of spring grooves with built-in springs at intervals along the circumference. The spring grooves are opened in the radial direction and communicate with the mounting groove. One end of a spring pin is embedded in the spring groove and connected to the spring. The other end of the spring pin is in contact with the circumferential surface of the jumping ring.

[0012] The bottle body is provided with a shelf, which includes three parallel and spaced support plates and at least two fixing rods connecting adjacent support plates. Each support plate has at least one groove on its opposite surface, thereby forming an area for inserting a storage body between two opposite grooves. The support plates and the storage body are respectively provided with magnets that attract each other.

[0013] The following are further improvements to the above technical solution:

[0014] 1. In the above solution, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole each include a circular hole and a square hole that are interconnected. The rotating sleeve and the retaining sleeve each include a circular sleeve and a square sleeve corresponding to the circular hole and the square hole, respectively. The square sleeve of the rotating sleeve and the retaining sleeve are each embedded in the square hole of the second mounting hole and the first mounting hole, so that the rotating sleeve and the retaining sleeve are relatively fixed to the bottle cap and the bottle mouth.

[0015] 2. In the above scheme, the two sloping surfaces of the protrusion are connected by a plane.

[0016] 3. In the above scheme, the number of spring grooves is 3 to 8.

[0017] 4. In the above scheme, the storage container is a test tube rack or a storage box.

[0018] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0019] 1. The pneumatic logistics transfer bottle of the present invention, through the cooperation of two mounting holes and a pin, not only realizes the connection between the bottle cap and the bottle mouth for convenient use, but also allows the bottle cap to rotate around the pin for easy opening and closing. Furthermore, through the spring cooperation with the pin and the bottle cap mounting structure, an axial force is elastically applied to the bottle cap, which facilitates opening while ensuring that the bottle cap and the bottle mouth remain tightly connected in the closed state, maintaining the airtightness of the bottle during transportation, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the transport of goods. In addition, it can avoid the risk of accidental opening or closing of the bottle cap due to friction and smoothing of the inner surface of the bottle cap caused by repeated opening and closing after long-term use, which may occur when the transfer bottle is moving at high speed or when picking up and putting down items. In addition, its modularly designed storage rack facilitates the loading and unloading of items and ensures the safety and stability of the items inside the bottle during transportation.

[0020] 2. The pneumatic logistics transfer bottle of the present invention has a protective sleeve inside its body. Each end of the protective sleeve has a side plate installed on it. The two side plates are connected by a support shaft. A shelf is movably mounted on the support shaft. Elastic elements are respectively fitted at both ends of the support shaft, between the shelf and the side plate. This effectively prevents damage to the contents of the bottle from impact forces from both ends during multiple and long-term transports, protecting the safety of the contents during repeated transports. Furthermore, each end of the support shaft is connected to the side plate via a jumping ring. The jumping ring is embedded in a mounting groove on the side plate and can move radially. The side plate has circumferentially spaced... The shelf has several spring slots with built-in springs. These spring slots are radially spaced and communicate with the mounting slots. One end of a spring pin is embedded in the spring slot and connected to the spring. The other end of the spring pin contacts the circumferential surface of the jumping ring. This disperses the radial force on the items inside the bottle, which is then offset by the repeated elastic movement of the spring, making the shelf as a whole "floating" state. This protects the items inside the shelf during multiple transportation processes. Furthermore, the protective sleeve and side panels are elastically installed as a whole inside the bottle. Even in the extreme case where the bottle cap completely falls off and is damaged, the integrated structure formed by the protective sleeve and side panels can still protect the internal items and minimize damage to high-value items.

[0028] The present patent can be further understood through the specific embodiments given below, but they are not intended to limit the present patent.

[0029] Example 1: A pneumatic logistics transport bottle includes a bottle body 1 for containing items, a bottle mouth 2 configured as a tube, and a bottle cap 3. One end of the bottle mouth 2 is connected to the end of the bottle body 1, and the bottle cap 3 is installed on the other end of the bottle mouth 2.

[0030] A first mounting hole 9 is axially formed on the end face of the bottle mouth 2 near the bottle cap 3. A second mounting hole 10 corresponding to the first mounting hole 9 is formed on the end face of the bottle cap 3 near the bottle mouth 2. A rotating sleeve 11 fixed relative to the bottle cap 3 is installed in the second mounting hole 10. A retaining sleeve 12 fixed relative to the bottle mouth 2 is installed in the first mounting hole 9. A pin 13 passes through the retaining sleeve 12 and the rotating sleeve 11 in sequence, and the upper end of the pin 13 is rotatably installed in the rotating sleeve 11, so that the rotating sleeve 11 can rotate around the upper end of the pin 13.

[0031] The lower end of the pin 13 extending from below the retaining sleeve 12 has a radially outward flange 14. A compressed spring 15 is fitted onto the pin 13, and the upper and lower ends of the spring 15 are in contact with the lower end face of the retaining sleeve 12 and the upper end face of the flange 14 of the pin 13, respectively. The upper end of the pin 13 is connected to the rotating sleeve 11 through a retaining ring and a retaining groove, which restricts the pin 13 from moving downward in the axial direction.

[0032] The retaining sleeve 12 and the rotating sleeve 11 are connected by at least one protrusion 16 and at least two slots 17 into which the protrusion 16 can be inserted. The two side end faces of the protrusion 16 are symmetrically arranged slopes, which are inclined inward in the direction close to the slot 17. The inner surface of the slot 17 is a slope that matches the slope of the protrusion 16. When the bottle cap 3 is in the closed state, the protrusion 16 is fully inserted into one slot 17. When the bottle cap 3 is in the open state, the protrusion 16 is fully inserted into the other slot 17.

[0033] A protective sleeve 18 is provided inside the bottle body 1. A side plate 19 is installed at both ends of the protective sleeve 18. The two side plates 19 are connected by a support shaft 20. A shelf 21 is movably mounted on the support shaft 20. An elastic element 22 is respectively mounted at both ends of the support shaft 20 and between the shelf 21 and the side plate 19.

[0034] Both ends of the support shaft 20 are connected to the side plate 19 through a jumping ring 23. The jumping ring 23 is embedded in the mounting groove 24 on the side plate 19 and can move in the radial direction. The side plate 19 is provided with a number of spring grooves 25 with built-in springs at intervals along the circumference. The spring grooves 25 are opened radially and communicate with the mounting grooves 24. One end of a spring pin 30 is embedded in the spring groove 25 and connected to the spring. The other end of the spring pin 30 is in contact with the circumferential surface of the jumping ring 23.

[0035] The bottle body 1 is provided with a shelf 21. The shelf 21 includes at least two parallel and spaced support plates 26 and at least two fixing rods 27 connecting adjacent support plates 26. Each of the support plates 26 has at least one groove 28 on its opposite surface, thereby forming an area for inserting a storage body 29 between the two grooves 28 facing each other. The support plates 26 and the storage body 29 are respectively provided with magnets that attract each other.

[0036] The first mounting hole 9 and the second mounting hole 10 mentioned above both include a circular hole and a square hole that are interconnected. The rotating sleeve 11 and the retaining sleeve 12 both include a circular sleeve and a square sleeve corresponding to the circular hole and the square hole, respectively. The square sleeve of the rotating sleeve 11 and the retaining sleeve 12 are respectively embedded in the square hole of the second mounting hole 10 and the first mounting hole 9, so that the rotating sleeve 11 and the retaining sleeve 12 are relatively fixed to the bottle cap 3 and the bottle mouth 2. Without the use of any connecting parts, the retaining sleeve and the rotating sleeve can remain stationary inside the bottle mouth and the bottle cap under any circumstances.

[0037] The aforementioned sheath has an axially extending opening for taking items on or off the shelf.

[0038] The number of spring grooves 25 mentioned above is 5.

[0039] The number of the aforementioned support plates is 3.

[0040] Example 2: A pneumatic logistics transport bottle includes a bottle body 1 for containing items, a bottle mouth 2 configured as a tube, and a bottle cap 3. One end of the bottle mouth 2 is connected to the end of the bottle body 1, and the bottle cap 3 is installed on the other end of the bottle mouth 2.

[0041] A first mounting hole 9 is axially formed on the end face of the bottle mouth 2 near the bottle cap 3. A second mounting hole 10 corresponding to the first mounting hole 9 is formed on the end face of the bottle cap 3 near the bottle mouth 2. A rotating sleeve 11 fixed relative to the bottle cap 3 is installed in the second mounting hole 10. A retaining sleeve 12 fixed relative to the bottle mouth 2 is installed in the first mounting hole 9. A pin 13 passes through the retaining sleeve 12 and the rotating sleeve 11 in sequence, and the upper end of the pin 13 is rotatably installed in the rotating sleeve 11, so that the rotating sleeve 11 can rotate around the upper end of the pin 13.

[0042] The lower end of the pin 13 extending from below the retaining sleeve 12 has a radially outward flange 14. A compressed spring 15 is fitted onto the pin 13, and the upper and lower ends of the spring 15 are in contact with the lower end face of the retaining sleeve 12 and the upper end face of the flange 14 of the pin 13, respectively. The upper end of the pin 13 is connected to the rotating sleeve 11 through a retaining ring and a retaining groove, which restricts the pin 13 from moving downward in the axial direction.

[0043] The retaining sleeve 12 and the rotating sleeve 11 are connected by at least one protrusion 16 and at least two slots 17 into which the protrusion 16 can be inserted. The two side end faces of the protrusion 16 are symmetrically arranged slopes, which are inclined inward in the direction close to the slot 17. The inner surface of the slot 17 is a slope that matches the slope of the protrusion 16. When the bottle cap 3 is in the closed state, the protrusion 16 is fully inserted into one slot 17. When the bottle cap 3 is in the open state, the protrusion 16 is fully inserted into the other slot 17.

[0044] A protective sleeve 18 is provided inside the bottle body 1. A side plate 19 is installed at both ends of the protective sleeve 18. The two side plates 19 are connected by a support shaft 20. A shelf 21 is movably mounted on the support shaft 20. An elastic element 22 is respectively mounted at both ends of the support shaft 20 and between the shelf 21 and the side plate 19.

[0045] Both ends of the support shaft 20 are connected to the side plate 19 through a jumping ring 23. The jumping ring 23 is embedded in the mounting groove 24 on the side plate 19 and can move in the radial direction. The side plate 19 is provided with a number of spring grooves 25 with built-in springs at intervals along the circumference. The spring grooves 25 are opened radially and communicate with the mounting grooves 24. One end of a spring pin 30 is embedded in the spring groove 25 and connected to the spring. The other end of the spring pin 30 is in contact with the circumferential surface of the jumping ring 23.

[0046] The bottle body 1 is provided with a shelf 21. The shelf 21 includes at least two parallel and spaced support plates 26 and at least two fixing rods 27 connecting adjacent support plates 26. Each of the support plates 26 has at least one groove 28 on its opposite surface, thereby forming an area for inserting a storage body 29 between the two grooves 28 facing each other. The support plates 26 and the storage body 29 are respectively provided with magnets that attract each other.

[0047] The number of protrusions 16 and slots 17 are both two, and they are equally spaced along the circumference; the protrusions 16 are located on the end face of the retaining sleeve 12 near the rotating sleeve 11, and the slots 17 are opened on the end face of the rotating sleeve 11 near the retaining sleeve 12; the two sloping surfaces of the protrusions 16 are connected by a plane.

[0048] The number of spring grooves 25 mentioned above is 6.

[0049] There are three support plates, and the storage container is a storage box.

[0050] When the bottle cap is subjected to a small impact during transportation, and under extreme conditions the bottle cap opens to a small angle, due to the presence of the groove and the protrusion, when the protrusion is still inside the groove, the preload of the spring will pull the rotating sleeve back to its original position. At this time, the bottle cap that was opened by the impact will automatically close due to the tension of the spring, reducing the risk of the bottle cap being opened accidentally.

[0051] When the bottle is impacted during transport, the shelf will elastically move several times along the axial direction of the support shaft before stopping without hitting the side panel. At the same time, it will disperse the radial force to the support shaft, which will press the force onto the jumping ring. The jumping ring is supported by spring pins and springs in various directions. The repeated elastic movement of the springs can counteract the radial jump, and the shelf as a whole is in a "floating" state, protecting the safety of the items inside the shelf during multiple transports.

[0052] When using the above-mentioned pneumatic logistics transport bottles, the bottle caps will not open on their own when an impact occurs during transportation, and the rack will buffer axial and radial forces, protecting the safety of the contents of the transport bottle during multiple transportation processes.

[0053] The connection between the bottle cap and the bottle mouth is achieved through the cooperation of two mounting holes and a pin, which is convenient for use. The bottle cap can also rotate around the pin, making it easy to open and close. Furthermore, the spring, in conjunction with the mounting structure of the pin and the bottle cap, applies an axial force to the bottle cap elastically. This makes it easy to open the cap while ensuring that the bottle cap and the bottle mouth remain tightly connected when closed, maintaining the airtightness of the bottle during transportation and thus ensuring the safety and stability of the goods during transportation.

[0054] Furthermore, this can prevent the risk of the cap accidentally opening or closing due to friction on the inner surface of the cap becoming smooth after long-term use, which could occur when the bottle is moving at high speed or when picking up or putting down items.

[0055] In addition, its modularly designed storage rack makes it easy to load and unload items, while also ensuring the safety and stability of the items inside the bottle during transportation.

[0056] In addition, it can effectively avoid damage to the items inside the bottle from impact forces from both ends during multiple and long-term transportation, protecting the safety of the items inside the shelf during multiple transportation processes.

[0057] Furthermore, the radial force on the items inside the bottle can be dispersed and then offset by the repeated elastic movement of the spring, so that the entire shelf is in a "floating" state, protecting the safety of the items inside the shelf during multiple transportation processes.

[0058] Furthermore, the sleeve and side panels are elastically installed as a single unit inside the bottle. Even in the extreme case where the bottle cap completely detaches and is damaged, the integrated structure formed by the sleeve and side panels can still protect the contents, minimizing damage to high-value items.

[0059] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
