Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of specimen storage boxes, in particular to a laboratory specimen storage box. Background Art

[0002] In modern medical diagnosis and research, the storage of laboratory specimens is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of test results. With the continuous advancement of medical testing technology, the storage conditions for laboratory specimens have become more stringent and sophisticated. From clinical testing to scientific research, various specimens, such as blood, urine, and tissue samples, must be stored under specific temperature and humidity conditions to maintain their biological activity and chemical stability, preventing deterioration and contamination due to improper storage, which could affect test results.

[0003] Traditional storage boxes lack targeted storage designs for different types of specimens. Different types of test specimens have significant differences in shape, size, and storage requirements. For example, blood test tubes are slender and easy to roll, tissue sample containers are irregular in shape, and some specimens have extremely high requirements for temperature, light protection, vibration resistance and other conditions. However, the internal space layout of traditional storage boxes is fixed, which makes it difficult to meet the storage needs of diverse specimens. Not only does it result in low space utilization, it also increases the risk of specimen damage and confusion. In addition, traditional refrigerated test specimen storage boxes require the entire layer of test specimen boxes to be removed from the refrigerated test specimen storage box, and then the test specimens stored in the boxes are taken out one by one for testing. After the boxes are taken out, the specimens inside the boxes are not in a refrigerated state. Due to uncertain factors such as the test time of the test specimens, the specimen tissue may be damaged, affecting the subsequent test results. Therefore, the present device provides a test specimen storage box. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The at least one technical solution adopted in the embodiment of the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Firstly, the device is designed with three different specimen placement boxes, which makes it easy to carry different types of test specimens after placement and to remove and test the test specimens later. This avoids the situation where test specimens are placed in a disorderly manner in the storage box and collide with each other, causing damage to the test specimens, thereby improving the detection operation of the test specimens.

[0017] Secondly, this device has diversified storage functions because the first-layer, second-layer, and third-layer storage boxes with different shapes and internal sizes can be adapted to test specimens of various shapes and specifications. Different types of specimens such as blood, urine, and feces have different storage space requirements. The diversified design improves the compatibility of the storage device with various specimens, meets the storage requirements of different specimens, and improves space utilization.

[0018] Third, the device features precise temperature control, as the temperature control system is installed on the storage box, which can precisely regulate the temperature inside the box, ensuring that the box is always in the refrigerated environment required for testing specimens, usually 4-8°C. The stable low-temperature environment can slow down the metabolism and degradation of cells, proteins and other components in the specimen, maintaining the stability of the specimen properties and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent test results. The device also features efficient disinfection protection, as the disinfection equipment is located inside the storage box, which can disinfect the specimens placed in the box, effectively killing bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms on the specimen surface and in the storage environment, preventing the specimens from being contaminated and deteriorating. At the same time, it prevents the growth and spread of microorganisms in the storage box, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, ensuring the safety of the specimens, and also helping to maintain a safe laboratory environment.

[0019] Fourthly, the storage box adopts an expandable setting, which can maximize the space utilization of the device, facilitate all-round convenient operation, and achieve deep cleaning and maintenance. After the storage box is fully expanded, the internal space can be fully released and is no longer limited to the fixed volume in the closed state. Whether it is an irregularly shaped specimen container or a large number of small specimens, they can be placed more flexibly, which significantly improves the utilization rate of space and meets the diverse specimen storage needs. It is equivalent to the different shapes of the first-layer storage box, the second-layer storage box and the third-layer storage box in this device. It plays a role of icing on the cake. At the same time, the storage box after expansion The expandable storage box provides a clear view of all boxes and specimens within, allowing operators to directly and fully access every layer and every specimen, eliminating the need to frequently bend over or reach deep within the box, as is the case with traditional closed boxes. This significantly improves operational convenience and comfort. The expanded structure provides clear visibility of every corner within the storage box, allowing for thorough cleaning and inspection of the temperature control system, disinfection equipment, and the inner walls and bottom of the box, facilitating equipment maintenance and ensuring the stable operation of the entire storage system. The expandable storage box significantly reduces the time spent searching for and retrieving specimens, improving work efficiency. This is particularly true when processing large numbers of specimens or in emergencies, allowing for quick locating and acquisition of required specimens, saving valuable time for subsequent testing.

[0020] Fifth, the current traditional refrigerated laboratory specimen storage box requires that the entire layer of laboratory specimen placement box be taken out from the refrigerated laboratory specimen storage box, and then the laboratory specimens stored in the placement box are taken out one by one for testing. After the placement box is taken out, the specimens inside the placement box are not in a refrigerated state. Due to uncertain factors such as the testing time of the laboratory specimens, the specimen tissue may be damaged, affecting the subsequent test results. The lower storage cylinder corresponding to the third-layer storage box in the present device is specially used for specimens with special refrigeration requirements for laboratory specimens. There is no need to take out the entire third-layer storage box to make the specimens inside the third-layer storage box fully exposed to the outside and placed without refrigeration. When medical staff check the third-layer storage box one by one, When the internal specimens are taken out for testing one by one, it is only necessary to stretch the extraction handle to pull the lower storage box closest to the sampling door inside the third-layer storage box out of the third-layer storage box and the outside of the storage box. At this time, the medical staff can take out the test specimens inside the corresponding lower storage box for testing, while the test specimens stored in the third-layer storage box are still in the storage box for refrigeration. Therefore, it solves the problem of test specimens being placed outside without refrigeration due to uncertain factors such as the test time of the test specimens, avoiding the occurrence of damage to the specimen tissue affecting subsequent test results. This design helps to optimize the specimen management process, allowing medical staff to access and test specimens in a more orderly manner, reducing the risk of specimen confusion and loss. At the same time, it is also convenient for the classified storage and management of specimens with different refrigeration requirements, improving the standardization and scientificity of specimen storage. This device can accurately control the refrigeration environment of the specimens in the third-layer storage box, avoiding temperature fluctuations caused by taking out and placing the box on the entire layer. Even when specimens are removed one by one for testing, the remaining specimens can still be stored under stable refrigerated conditions, maintaining their biological activity and chemical properties and reducing the adverse effects of temperature fluctuations on the specimens. Traditional methods require removing the entire storage box and then removing the specimens one by one, which is cumbersome. This device simply pulls the extraction handle to conveniently remove the specimen from a specific lower storage cylinder for testing, simplifying the operation process, saving medical staff time and energy, and significantly improving testing efficiency, especially when the number of specimens is large.

The shapes and internal dimensions of the first-layer storage box 21, the second-layer storage box 22, and the third-layer storage box 23 are different. The temperature control system 3 is arranged on the storage box 1, and the disinfection device 4 is located inside the storage box 1.

[0039] This device is designed with three different specimen placement boxes 2 to facilitate carrying of different types of test specimens after placement and subsequent removal and testing of the test specimens, thereby avoiding the situation where the test specimens are placed in a disorderly manner in the storage box 1 and collide with each other, causing damage to the test specimens, thereby improving the detection operation of the test specimens.

[0040] This device has diversified storage functions because the first-layer, second-layer, and third-layer storage boxes 23 of different shapes and internal sizes are provided, which can adapt to laboratory specimens of various shapes and specifications. Different types of specimens such as blood, urine, and feces have different storage space requirements. The diversified design improves the compatibility of the storage device with various specimens, meets the storage requirements of different specimens, and improves space utilization.

[0041] This device features precise temperature control, as temperature control system 3, mounted on storage box 1, precisely regulates the internal temperature, ensuring the box maintains the required refrigerated storage environment for specimen testing, typically 4-8°C. This stable, low-temperature environment slows the metabolism and degradation of cells, proteins, and other components in the specimen, maintaining specimen stability and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent test results.

[0042] This device has efficient disinfection protection. Since the disinfection equipment 4 is located inside the storage box 1, the test specimens in the placement box 2 can be disinfected, effectively killing bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms on the surface of the specimens and in the storage environment, preventing the specimens from being contaminated and deteriorating. At the same time, it avoids the growth and spread of microorganisms in the storage box, reduces the risk of cross contamination, ensures the safety of the specimens, and also helps to maintain the safety of the laboratory environment.

[0043] This device has reliable and safe protection because the storage box 1 is equipped with a protective cover 11, and is connected to the storage box 1 with a buckle lock. This design is easy to open and close, and at the same time can provide reliable sealing, preventing external dust and debris from entering the storage box 1 to contaminate the specimen, and also avoiding the smell of the specimen. It can also prevent the storage device from being accidentally opened to a certain extent, thereby ensuring the safety of specimen storage.

[0044] This device offers organized classification management, as the three-tiered storage boxes are stacked sequentially from top to bottom, making it easy to categorize and manage specimens of different types or batches. When accessing specimens, medical staff or laboratory workers can quickly locate the target specimen based on pre-set classification rules, improving work efficiency and reducing misplacement or retrieval errors caused by specimen mix-ups.

[0045] The device is easy to use and operate because the overall structure of the device is reasonably designed and the horizontally placed storage box 1 is ergonomic, making it convenient for operators to store, remove, temperature control and operate the disinfection equipment 4, etc., reducing the difficulty of operation and labor intensity and improving the convenience of use.

[0046] Preferably, the storage box 1 is configured to be expandable, and includes a bottom surface 12, a right side 13, a rear surface 14, and a left front surface 15. The bottom surface 12 is configured horizontally, and the right side 13 is fixedly configured on the bottom surface 12. The rear surface 14 and the right side 13 are connected by a hinge, and both contact surfaces are provided with a sealing strip.

[0047] Working principle: The storage box 1 is designed to be expandable, which can maximize the space utilization, convenient operation in all directions, and deep cleaning and maintenance of the device. After the storage box 1 is fully expanded, the internal space is fully released and is no longer limited to the fixed volume in the closed state. Whether it is an irregularly shaped specimen container or a large number of small specimens, they can be placed more flexibly, which significantly improves the utilization rate of space and meets the diverse specimen storage needs. It is equivalent to the different shapes of the first layer storage box 21, the second layer storage box 22 and the third layer storage box 23 in the device. It plays a role of icing on the cake. At the same time, after expansion, The storage box 1 provides a clear view of all the boxes 2 and the specimens inside. Operators can directly and fully access every layer and every specimen, eliminating the need to frequently bend over or reach to retrieve specimens deep inside, as is the case with traditional closed boxes. This greatly improves the convenience and comfort of operation. The expanded structure allows for clear visibility of every corner inside the storage box 1. Whether it is the temperature control system 3, disinfection equipment 4, or the inner walls and bottom of the box, they can all be thoroughly cleaned and inspected, facilitating equipment maintenance and ensuring the stable operation of the entire storage system. The expandable storage box 1 can significantly reduce the time spent searching for and retrieving specimens, thereby improving work efficiency. Especially when handling a large number of specimens or in an emergency, the required specimens can be quickly located and retrieved, saving valuable time for subsequent testing.

[0048] When the device unfolds the storage box 1, the operator first confirms that the storage box 1 is in a safe operating environment, unfastens the buckle lock on the protective cover 11, and steadily removes the protective cover 11 and places it aside. Then, the left front 15 is forcibly pushed to release the magnetic connection between the left front 15 and the bottom 12 and the right side 13. The back 14 and the right side 13 are connected by a hinge, and the left front 15 and the back 14 are connected by a hinge. According to the designed unfolding method, the left front 15 is slowly and steadily moved away from the right side 13 to unfold the various parts of the storage box 1. The unfolded state is referred to as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, after the storage box 1 is complete, the operator can access, replace, sort and organize the specimens in the storage box 2 as needed. After the operation is completed, check the placement of the specimens and the operating status of the equipment again. Finally, in the opposite order of unfolding, slowly close the various parts of the storage box 1 and restore them to the closed state. Finally, reinstall the protective cover 11 and fasten the buckle to ensure that the storage box 1 is tightly closed. The set cover can play a sealing role.

The extraction handle 234 and the sampling door are magnetically connected and arranged in a chimeric state. The plurality of connecting members 233 each include a main body 235, a sliding rod 236 and a sliding body 237. The main body 235 is provided on one side of the corresponding lower storage tube 232. The sliding rod 236 is provided on the main body 235. The sliding body 237 is provided on the other side of the corresponding lower storage tube 232 and is sleeved on the sliding rod 236. The sliding body 237 and the sliding rod 236 are arranged to slide up and down.

[0055] The lower storage box 231 adopts a drawer-type pull-out design. With the help of the extraction handle 234, the entire lower storage box 231 can be easily pulled out of the storage box 1, so that the lower storage cylinder 232 inside is completely exposed, which is convenient for staff to quickly access specimens from all angles. There is no need to unfold or open the storage box 1, and then take out the first storage box 21 and the second storage box 22, and then take out and put specimens in the third storage box 23. The whole process is relatively cumbersome and there is a risk of specimen damage.

[0056] At present, the traditional refrigerated laboratory specimen storage box 222 requires the entire layer of laboratory specimen placement box 2 to be taken out from the refrigerated laboratory specimen storage box 222, and then the laboratory specimens stored in the placement box 2 are taken out one by one for testing. After the placement box 2 is taken out, the specimens inside the placement box 2 are not in a refrigerated state. Due to uncertain factors such as the testing time of the laboratory specimens, the specimen tissues may be damaged, affecting the subsequent test results. The lower storage cylinder 232 corresponding to the inner part of the third-layer storage box 23 in the present device is specially used for specimens with special requirements for refrigeration of laboratory specimens. There is no need to take out the entire third-layer storage box 23 to make the specimens inside the third-layer storage box 23 fully exposed to the outside and placed without refrigeration effect. When medical staff check the third-layer storage box 2 one by one, When removing specimens from the third-layer storage box 23 for testing one by one, the extraction handle 234 is simply pulled to pull the lower storage box 231, closest to the sampling door, out of the third-layer storage box 23 and the storage box 1. At this point, the medical staff can remove the corresponding test specimens from the lower storage box 231 for testing, while the other test specimens stored in the third-layer storage box 23 remain refrigerated in the storage box 1. This solves the problem of test specimens being placed outside without refrigeration due to uncertainties such as the testing time, avoiding damage to the specimen tissue that could affect subsequent test results. This design helps optimize the specimen management process, allowing medical staff to access and test specimens in a more orderly manner and reducing the risk of specimen confusion and loss. It also facilitates the classified storage and management of specimens with different refrigeration requirements, improving the standardization and scientific nature of specimen storage. The device can accurately control the refrigeration environment of the specimens in the third-layer storage box 23, avoiding temperature fluctuations caused by removing and placing the entire layer of boxes 2. Even when specimens are removed one by one for testing, the remaining specimens can still be stored under stable refrigerated conditions, maintaining the biological activity and chemical properties of the specimens and reducing the adverse effects of temperature fluctuations on the specimens. Conventional methods require removing the entire layer of the storage box 2 and then removing the specimens one by one, which is cumbersome. The present device simply pulls the extraction handle 234 to conveniently remove the specimen from a specific lower storage cylinder 232 for testing, simplifying the operating process and saving medical staff time and energy. This significantly improves testing efficiency, especially when the number of specimens is large.

[0057] Preferably, the inner dimensions of the plurality of upper storage cylinders 214, the plurality of middle storage cylinders 223, and the plurality of lower storage cylinders 232 are all different.

[0058] This device can precisely adapt to different specimens. Because laboratory specimens are of various types and sizes, such as slender blood test tubes, large cylindrical urine sample containers, and irregularly shaped stool specimen containers, storage cylinders of different sizes can precisely adapt to these specimens. The upper storage cylinder 214 can be designed to be slender to accommodate test tube specimens; the middle storage cylinder 223 can be designed to have a medium diameter and moderate depth to accommodate regular-sized specimen containers; the lower storage cylinder 232 can be customized according to the size of special large specimen containers, avoiding unstable or inability to store specimens due to inappropriate storage cylinder size, and providing a suitable storage space for the specimens.

[0059] This device enhances its versatility and can accommodate combinations of storage cartridges of varying sizes, making it adaptable to diverse specimen storage scenarios. Whether it's routine clinical testing specimens or specialized scientific research specimens, suitable storage space can be found. This design expands the device's applicability and flexibility, reduces functional limitations due to differences in specimen size, and meets the specimen storage requirements of diverse institutions and testing needs.

[0060] The plurality of upper storage cylinders 214 are used to store blood routine tests, coagulation function tests, and blood specimens; the plurality of middle storage cylinders 223 are used to store urine and feces specimens; and the plurality of lower storage cylinders 232 are used to store cerebrospinal fluid specimens, semen specimens, and laboratory specimens with high refrigeration testing requirements.

[0061] The first storage box 21 of the device is suitable for placing blood specimens: such as blood samples for routine blood tests, coagulation function tests, etc.

[0062] Effect: Blood specimens are sensitive to temperature fluctuations. The upper layer typically maintains a relatively stable temperature with minimal fluctuations, better maintaining the optimal storage temperature range of 4-8°C. This helps slow blood cell metabolism, inhibit the activity of coagulation factors, ensure blood composition stability, and reduce errors in test results. Furthermore, blood specimens typically need to be tested quickly, so placing them on the upper layer allows for easier access, improving specimen processing efficiency.

[0063] The second storage box 22 of the device is suitable for placing urine specimens: either regular urine specimens or 24-hour urine specimens;

[0064] Effect: The middle layer maintains a temperature of approximately 4-8°C, the required refrigeration temperature. Refrigerated urine specimens are protected from damage to visible components, bacterial growth, and chemical changes. Placing them in the middle layer facilitates medical staff in selecting specimens based on specific testing needs while also keeping them separate from other specimen types to avoid confusion or cross-contamination. Furthermore, the middle layer's optimal placement makes it convenient for placing and retrieving urine specimens of varying volumes and quantities.

[0065] The lower layer of the third storage box 23 of the device is suitable for placing stool specimens and cerebrospinal fluid specimens: stool specimens include general stool specimens and stool culture specimens, and cerebrospinal fluid specimens are usually less in quantity and more precious;

[0066] Benefit: The lower layer provides a relatively stable space with minimal vibration, making it suitable for specimens requiring stricter storage conditions and protection from excessive vibration. Refrigerated stool specimens maintain their properties and composition, facilitating accurate detection of their components and minimizing the effects of microbial growth and metabolism. Cerebrospinal fluid specimens require more careful storage, and the stable environment of the lower layer helps maintain their compositional stability, minimizing potential changes due to vibration or temperature fluctuations, and ensuring accurate test results.

[0067] Preferably, the temperature control system 3 includes a refrigeration device 31, a high-precision temperature and humidity sensor, and an intelligent display screen 32. The refrigeration device 31 is arranged on the storage box 1, the high-precision temperature and humidity sensor is located inside the storage box 1, and the intelligent display screen 32 is arranged outside the storage box 1. The refrigeration device 31, the high-precision temperature and humidity sensor, and the intelligent display screen 32 are electrically connected;

[0068] The temperature and humidity control principle of the temperature control system 3 is that the high-precision temperature and humidity sensor continuously collects the temperature and humidity data in the box and transmits the data to the intelligent temperature and humidity control system in real time. The system analyzes and processes the received data and compares it with the pre-set appropriate temperature and humidity range. Once the data exceeds the set range, the system immediately starts the corresponding cooling and heating, humidification and dehumidification modules, and adjusts the temperature and humidity of the air in the box to restore the temperature and humidity to the normal range, thereby achieving precise control of the temperature and humidity in the box. Through the coordinated work of the high-precision temperature and humidity sensor and the intelligent temperature and humidity control system, the new specimen storage box 1 can accurately control the temperature and humidity in the box within the set range with minimal fluctuations. For example, the temperature can be stably controlled at ±1°C and the humidity at ±5% RH, providing a stable and suitable storage environment for the specimens, effectively ensuring the quality of the specimens and greatly improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0069] Preferably, the disinfection equipment 4 includes several ultraviolet disinfection lamps 41, two ultraviolet disinfection lamps 41 are provided at the bottom of the placement box 2, and two ultraviolet disinfection lamps 41 are symmetrically provided at the lower ends of the upper storage box 211 and the middle storage box 221.

[0070] The principle of self-cleaning composite disinfection of the disinfection equipment 4 is that the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 41 automatically turns on at a set time interval, emitting ultraviolet rays to irradiate and disinfect the air and surface of objects in the box. The ozone generator works during the idle period of the storage box 1, and the generated ozone diffuses in the box, using its strong oxidizing properties to kill microorganisms. The inner wall of the box made of antibacterial material inhibits the growth of microorganisms from the source, and multiple disinfection methods work together to achieve self-cleaning composite disinfection, ensuring that the environment in the box meets the infection control requirements. The efficient disinfection effect is that the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 41, the ozone generator and the antibacterial material box in the self-cleaning composite disinfection structure work together to achieve efficient disinfection. After testing, the storage box 1 can kill more than 99.9% of common bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the box, so that the environment in the box meets strict infection control standards, effectively reduces the risk of specimen contamination, and improves the reliability of the test results.

[0071] Preferably, the bottoms of the upper storage box 211, the middle storage box 221, the inner storage box 212, the middle storage box 221 and the two specimen storage boxes 222 are all provided with a through flow groove 5;

[0072] The bottoms of the upper storage box 211, the middle storage box 221, the inner storage box 212, the middle storage box 221 and the two specimen storage boxes 222 are all provided with flow grooves 5 that facilitate the flow of cold air inside the storage box 1, thereby better refrigerating and storing the test specimens inside the storage box 1.

[0073] The foregoing is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
