Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical article management, and in particular to a color-based medical article management device. Background Art
[0002] Medical supply management devices are intelligent devices or systems used in medical institutions to store, distribute, track, and monitor medical supplies such as medicines, consumables, and instruments. They leverage technology to achieve precise management, safe control, and efficient utilization of medical supplies, and are a crucial component of the intelligent development of modern hospitals.
[0003] An existing Chinese patent for an intelligent storage cabinet for medical supplies with a disinfection function (publication number CN111932795B) specifically discloses a cabinet body, wherein the cabinet body is provided with several medical item storage compartments, each medical item storage compartment is provided with a push mechanism, an access port is provided below the medical item storage compartment, a control panel is provided on the cabinet body, a barcode recognition device is provided on the cabinet body, the barcode recognition device is connected to the control panel, the control panel is connected to the push mechanism, and a narcotics cabinet is provided in the cabinet body. The present invention can realize intelligent outbound and inbound storage, and automatically record outbound and inbound storage information, without the need for manual recording, saving manpower, and is less prone to errors, thereby improving work efficiency. The present invention is suitable for the storage of medical supplies in clinical medical technology departments.
[0004] Existing medical supply management systems place items haphazardly and disorganized during use. Medical staff must individually verify sterile pack availability by checking textual information (such as production date and expiration date) before retrieving items, which is time-consuming and error-prone. This prolongs surgical preparation time and can delay emergency treatment due to the search for qualified sterile packs. Furthermore, due to the lack of expiration warning mechanisms, medical staff may overlook expired sterile packs or misuse them due to unclear textual labeling. To address these issues, we propose a color-based medical supply management system. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of disordered placement of medical supplies in medical supply management devices in the prior art, and to propose a color-based medical supply management device.

A hinge shaft is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the blocking plate, and the hinge shaft is rotatably mounted on the storage rack. The blocking plate can block the open end of the storage rack. A driven wheel is fixedly mounted on one end of the hinge shaft, an isolation cover is fixedly mounted on the storage rack, an electric push rod is fixedly mounted in the isolation cover, a rack is fixedly mounted on the output end of the electric push rod, and the rack is engaged with the driven wheel.
[0011] Preferably, a label is attached to the outside of the blocking plate.
[0012] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a friction strip, one end of which is inserted into the storage rack, and one end of which is fixedly mounted on the pushing member. A first servo motor is fixedly mounted outside the storage rack, and a friction wheel is fixedly mounted on the output shaft end of the first servo motor. The friction wheel is in contact with the friction strip and transmission is transmitted between the two through friction.
[0013] Preferably, a controller is installed on the storage rack, and the first servo motor and the electric push rod are electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is used to control the operation of the first servo motor and the electric push rod.

[0015] Preferably, the ventilation mechanism includes two symmetrically distributed air intake pipes, the air intake pipes are fixedly mounted on the top of the storage rack and communicated with the inner cavity of the storage rack, the lower ends of the air intake pipes are opened, a sealing plug is inserted at the lower end of the air intake pipes, the sealing plug is used to seal the lower end of the air intake pipes, the sealing plug is transitionally matched with the air intake pipes, a suction pump is fixedly mounted on the storage rack, the exhaust end of the suction pump is connected and fixedly mounted with a pipeline, and the upper ends of the pipeline are connected to the air intake pipes on both sides.
[0016] Preferably, a container is provided in one end of the air inlet pipe, a plurality of evenly distributed air holes are provided on the upper and lower sides of the container, activated carbon particles are contained in the container, and the container is threadedly connected to the air inlet pipe.
[0017] Preferably, a storage tank is provided inside the air intake pipe, a filter plate is provided in the storage tank, an inner plate is fixedly installed in the air intake pipe, a vertical shaft is rotatably installed on the inner plate, a plurality of scrapers distributed in a circular array are fixedly installed on the upper end of the vertical shaft, the top of the scraper is close to the bottom of the filter plate, a first bevel gear is fixedly installed on the bottom of the vertical shaft, a second servo motor is fixedly installed outside the air intake pipe, a horizontal shaft is fixedly installed on the output shaft end of the second servo motor, the horizontal shaft is rotatably installed on the air intake pipe and extends into the air intake pipe, a second bevel gear is fixedly installed on the end of the horizontal shaft, a second protective cover is fixedly installed on the storage rack, and the second protective cover is outside the two air intake pipes and the suction pump.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] The device uses color to warn and mark dates. Operating room staff can quickly determine whether a sterile pack is within its validity period by the correspondence between color and date, without having to check text information one by one. Sterile packs of the same color can be quickly grouped together, reducing sorting time and improving work efficiency. Color marking serves as a visual cue to reduce the misplacement or mixing of sterile packs due to human negligence. The color early warning mechanism can alert medical staff in advance to sterile packs that are about to expire, avoiding the use of expired packs due to negligence. The color marking system can reflect inventory status in real time, allowing managers to quickly adjust procurement plans. The color marking system provides a unified standard for medical supply management, reducing management confusion caused by human differences.
[0020] Staff only need to input item information into the controller, and the device automatically locates and pushes the target item, eliminating the need for manual searching. This reduces the time it takes to retrieve items compared to traditional manual searching methods. A suction pump continuously draws air into the racks, preventing air circulation and the resulting increase in humidity and temperature within the racks. This prevents medical supplies from getting damp, creating a favorable storage environment and extending their storage life. A filter plate filters the air flowing through the intake pipe to prevent impurities from entering the racks and contaminating the medical supplies inside. Activated carbon granules in the container sterilize and disinfect the air, preventing harmful airborne substances from adhering to medical supplies. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Reference Figure 1-8A color-based medical supply management device includes a rack 1 having multiple partitions 3 fixedly mounted therein. The partitions 3 are used to separate the storage space within the rack 1. The open end of the rack 1 is provided with multiple protective mechanisms for sealing the open end of the rack 1. Multiple pushers 4 are provided within the rack 1, each located in a plurality of storage compartments within the rack 1. The rack 1 is provided with multiple pushing mechanisms, each connected to the pushing members 4, for driving the pushing members 4 to move and push medical supplies out of the storage compartments of the rack 1.
[0033] The rack 1 is provided with a number of evenly distributed slots 2 that extend through the rack 1. A ventilation mechanism is provided at the top of the rack 1, communicating with the interior of the rack 1. The protective mechanism includes a blocking plate 5, which is positioned at the open end of the rack 1. A hinge shaft 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of each blocking plate 5. The hinge shaft 6 is rotatably mounted on the rack 1, allowing the blocking plate 5 to block the open end of the rack 1. A driven wheel 7 is fixedly mounted on one end of the hinge shaft 6. An isolation cover 8 is fixedly mounted on the rack 1, within which an electric push rod 9 is fixedly mounted. A rack 10 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the push rod 9, meshing with the driven wheel 7. A label 11 is affixed to the outside of the blocking plate 5, to which information related to medical supplies can be attached. The pushing mechanism includes a friction strip 12, one end of which is inserted into the rack 1 and fixedly mounted on the pushing member 4. A first servo motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the rack 1. A friction wheel 14 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first servo motor 13. The friction wheel 14 contacts the friction strip 12, and the friction force between the two is transmitted. A controller 15 is mounted on the rack 1. The first servo motor 13 and the electric push rod 9 are both electrically connected to the controller 15. The controller 15 is used to control the operation of the first servo motor 13 and the electric push rod 9.
[0034] A first protective cover 16 is fixedly mounted on the storage rack 1 . The first protective cover 16 covers the plurality of friction strips 12 and the first servo motor 13 . The first protective cover 16 protects the structures inside the friction strips 12 and the first servo motor 13 .
[0035] By placing medical items in the rack 1, when the staff needs to take out an item, the corresponding item information is input into the controller 15, and the controller 15 controls the first servo motor 13 and the electric push rod 9 to work, and the electric push rod 9 drives the rack 10 to move, and the rack 10 drives the driven wheel 7 to rotate, so that the blocking plate 5 rotates a certain angle around the hinge shaft 6. Figure 4 In the state shown, the first servo motor 13 then drives the friction wheel 14 to rotate, the friction wheel 14 drives the friction strip 12 to move, the friction strip 12 moves synchronously with the pushing member 4, and the pushing member 4 pushes the items that the staff needs to take out, thereby automatically discharging the medical items needed by the staff.
[0036] The staff only needs to input the item information into the controller 15, and the device will automatically locate and push the target item, eliminating the need for manual searching. Compared with traditional manual search methods, the time required to retrieve the item is shortened.
[0037] The device adopts a specific method when storing medical supplies. The principle of the device's method can be summarized as using color to serve as a warning and marking of dates.
[0038] These items are divided into four main categories: sterile instrument packs (valid for 7 days), plastic-sealed and non-woven items (valid for 6 months), sterile operating room cabinets (valid for 2-5+ years), and other expired items. Each type of sterile item has a different function and is placed in a separate area.
[0039] 1: Sterile instrument packages are divided into ordinary instrument packages, surgical gowns, treatment towels, etc., and sterilization qualification is indicated by sterilization indicator tape. The three bars were originally light yellow chemical indicators. Under the specified high temperature and high pressure time, the sterilization qualification indicator tape turns black. Disadvantages: This indicator tape has a single color, is not eye-catching, and contains little information. It is used to indicate sterilization qualification and expiration date. A new indicator tape is now designed. On the basis of the original, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple (rainbow colors, catchy and well-known) are added. The colors correspond to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Seven. The indicator tape is blue, and a box is added to its right (or left) side, with the date 6 corresponding to blue written inside. Other colors are similar.
[0040] Specific operation method: The sterilization supply center prints the corresponding date and day of the week on colored tape every day. For example, January 16, 2025, corresponds to a Thursday in the green tape box. Attach it to the cloth sterile bag. The cloth sterile bag is valid for 7 days. Therefore, today's disinfection date on Thursday is equal to the expiration date of next Thursday. Note: Thursday, January 16 + seven days = Thursday, January 23. Therefore, check for expired bags one day in advance every day. For example, if today is Thursday, check for bags that will expire tomorrow, Friday (the sixth day). Therefore, if you see a cyan Friday indicator tape on Thursday, it means that this instrument bag is from last Friday. (It cannot be this Friday, because tomorrow has not yet arrived.) The same applies to other dates.
[0041] To avoid confusion between color and date, a date-color matching card was developed. Operating room staff only need to know the day of the week corresponding to the current date to easily identify the expiration dates of sterile packs. Packs of the same color can be quickly sorted and categorized, effectively preventing misplacement of sterile packs and improving sterile pack turnover. Expiration dates can be checked more quickly, providing early warning and preventing expired packs.
[0042] In addition, place a square sign on the shelf with Monday to Sunday in the corresponding color. Function: If there are packages that expire on Friday, place the blue square sign of last Friday to remind you that there are packages that expire on Friday on this shelf. Please note:
[0043] 1. In order to prevent the disinfection supply center from pasting or printing the wrong date, a device or auxiliary function based on the date corresponding to the corresponding color is designed. For example, the date on the computer that prints the tape is January 16, 2025, which corresponds to green indicator tape. If the staff uses other colors such as blue (the computer will automatically report an error and cannot print, and prompt that the date on that day should be green tape).
[0044] 2. During the rainy season in southern cities, the shelf life of sterile bags is shortened to five days. The expiration date is two days. The same applies to expired bags; simply postpone the inspection date by two days. For example, if today is Thursday and you find indicator tape with the colors of Friday and Saturday, it's expired. In principle, if you inspect thoroughly, the earliest tape with the color and date will be purple, which is Sunday. Hang a square sign to reinforce the reminder.
[0045] 2. Plastic sealing and non-woven fabrics (valid for 6 months).
[0046] Solution 1: Based on the principle of 12 color rings corresponding to 12 months. Design a label with the expiration date corresponding to the color of the expiration date, the same type as Category 1. For example: If a package is disinfected in January and expires in July, the indicator tape will be green and the number will be 7. If a package is disinfected in May and expires in December, the indicator tape will be purple and the number will be 12. The color and number represent the month of the expiration date. Based on the human eye's sensitivity to color, color can better distinguish different dates and shelf sorting, and the date can more clearly indicate the expiration month on this basis. The validity period is 180 days (6 months), that is: if a package with the number 7 appears in January, then this package expires that month. If a package with numbers 8 to 12 appears, then this package has expired. Push back 6 months and repeat.
[0047] Option 2: Still use color indicator tape, with red, orange, yellow, green, cyan and blue as the colors from January to June.
[0048] July's bags expire in January, August's bags in February, and so on. Therefore, August and February will both have the same color tape. To avoid confusion between expired and new bags, February's bags will be clipped with a purple clip in August to indicate expiration that month, leaving August untouched. In principle, if there's a month left unused, you should be warned or disinfected again.
[0049] It is more suitable for non-woven packaging instrument bags. Of course, non-woven instrument bags are also suitable for option three.
[0050] Option 3: New plastic-sealed and non-woven items entering the operating room should be clipped with blue clips numbered 6. Check them on a fixed date each month. If the expiration date is unused during the next inspection, the expiration date is shortened to 5 months and replaced with a cyan clip numbered 5. If the expiration date is only one month, replace it with a red clip numbered 1. Place a purple circular warning sign on the outside of the corresponding shelf to indicate the presence of near-expiring items in that area. This is particularly suitable for plastic-sealed instruments.
[0051] 3. Operating room sterile cabinets (long-term items): Check the cabinet monthly. If you find items with expiration dates less than six months, hang a circular sign indicating the remaining months. For example, if you find an item with an expiration date of four months, hang a green sign with the number 4. If it's not used within the next month, hang a yellow sign for March. If it has only one month left to expire, hang a red sign for January and a purple sign with the number 7 to serve as a strong warning. Items that are about to expire can be marked on the signage. Place expiring items in separate boxes for easy identification. Items in the cabinet with items older than six months should not be labeled.
[0052] Fourth: Other expiration dates (generally longer than seven days and less than three months). Clearly specify the expiration date after the opening date. For example, hand sanitizer has an expiration date of one month. Check weekly. For the first check, hang a red sign with the number 1. For the second check, hang an orange sign with the number 2. For the seventh week, hang a red sign with the number 1 and write "X2" in black marker. For the eighth week, hang an orange sign with the number 2 and "X2." If no sign is displayed, check weekly, marking each check with a √ in black marker. Four √s in a row. For example, if the expiration date is one month, the fourth √ indicates the last week. If the expiration date is three months, the fourth √ in the third row indicates the last week.
[0053] Iodine tincture, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and other products are valid for seven days after opening. You can place a corresponding colored sticker on the bottle, marking the opening date and expiration date. Note: Products with other expiration dates, such as hand sanitizer, typically have the expiration date written directly on them after opening, such as: 2025.1.16 - 2025.2.15. Check weekly.
[0054] Operating room staff can quickly determine whether a sterile pack is within its expiration date by identifying the color and date, without having to check text information one by one. For example, red corresponds to Monday and blue corresponds to Tuesday. Medical staff only need to confirm the color that corresponds to the current date.
[0055] Sterile bags of the same color can be quickly grouped together, reducing sorting time and improving work efficiency. For example, if all sterile bags expiring on Wednesday are green, medical staff can quickly store the green-labeled bags together.
[0056] Color coding serves as a visual cue, reducing the chances of misplacing or mixing sterile packages due to human error. For example, different colored labels correspond to different dates, preventing medical staff from confusing a red (Monday) sterile package with a blue (Tuesday) one.
[0057] The color-coded warning system can alert medical staff to sterile packs that are about to expire, preventing them from being used inadvertently. For example, an orange label might indicate a "last use date," reminding medical staff to prioritize their use.
[0058] By quickly identifying expiration dates using color, medical staff can prioritize the use of sterile packs nearing their expiration date, reducing waste and improving inventory turnover. For example, sterile packs with yellow labels (expiring on Friday) can be distributed first to avoid backlogs.
[0059] The color coding system can reflect the inventory status in real time, making it easier for managers to quickly adjust purchasing plans. For example, if the number of sterile packs of a certain color (such as green on Wednesday) is insufficient, they can be replenished in time.
[0060] Quickly identifying expired or soon-to-expire sterile packages by color can help prevent infection risks from using expired items. For example, a red label automatically turns black (or is marked "expired") after the expiration date, prompting medical staff not to use it.
[0061] Color coding systems provide a unified standard for medical item management, reducing management confusion caused by human variability. For example, all hospitals can adopt the same color coding rules to facilitate cross-departmental collaboration.
[0062] The color coding system reduces reliance on text information, reducing training costs and losses caused by human error. For example, new employees do not need to memorize complex date matching rules; they only need to master the corresponding relationship between colors and dates.
[0063] By giving priority to sterile packages that are about to expire, waste caused by expiration can be reduced and the effective use cycle of items can be extended. For example, sterile packages with yellow labels (expiring on Friday) can be distributed first on Wednesday to avoid waste.
[0064] Example 2 proposed based on Example 1:
[0065] In actual use, due to poor air circulation within rack 1, the storage conditions of medications are crucial to their quality and efficacy. Poor air circulation can cause humidity and temperature to rise within rack 1, creating conditions for the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and mold, thereby accelerating the deterioration of medications. For medical devices that need to be kept dry, such as surgical instruments and diagnostic equipment, poor air circulation can cause them to become damp, thereby affecting their performance and lifespan. Medical consumables, such as gauze and cotton swabs, can also deteriorate or become ineffective if left in a humid environment for extended periods, affecting their effectiveness.
[0066] Reference Figure 2-8 The ventilation mechanism includes two symmetrically distributed air intake pipes 17, which are fixedly mounted on the top of the storage rack 1 and communicate with the inner cavity of the storage rack 1. The lower ends of the air intake pipes 17 are open, and a sealing plug 18 is inserted at the lower end of the air intake pipe 17. The sealing plug 18 is used to block the lower end of the air intake pipe 17 and is in a transitional fit with the air intake pipe 17. A suction pump 19 is fixedly mounted on the storage rack 1. The exhaust end of the suction pump 19 is connected to and fixedly mounted with a pipe 20. The upper ends of the pipe 20 communicate with the air intake pipes 17 on both sides. A container 21 is disposed within one end of the air intake pipe 17. A plurality of evenly distributed air holes 22 are formed on the upper and lower sides of the container 21. The container 21 contains activated carbon granules 23, and the container 21 is threadedly connected to the air intake pipe 17.
[0067] A storage tank 24 is provided inside the intake pipe 17, and a filter plate 25 is provided in the storage tank 24. An inner plate 26 is fixedly installed in the intake pipe 17, and a vertical shaft 27 is rotatably installed on the inner plate 26. A plurality of scrapers 28 distributed in a circular array are fixedly installed on the upper end of the vertical shaft 27. The top of the scraper 28 is close to the bottom of the filter plate 25, and a first bevel gear 29 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the vertical shaft 27. A second servo motor 30 is fixedly installed outside the intake pipe 17, and a horizontal shaft 31 is fixedly installed on the output shaft end of the second servo motor 30. The horizontal shaft 31 is rotatably mounted on the intake pipe 17 and extends into the intake pipe 17. A second bevel gear 32 is fixedly mounted on the end of the horizontal shaft 31. A second protective cover 33 is fixedly installed on the storage rack 1, and the second protective cover 33 covers the outside of the two intake pipes 17 and the suction pump 19, and its internal structure is protected by the second protective cover 33.
[0068] Air is continuously introduced into pipe 20 by a suction pump 19 and then discharged into rack 1 through intake pipe 17. The air can pass through slots 2 on rack 1 and into different layers of rack 1. The air flowing through intake pipe 17 is filtered by filter plate 25 to prevent impurities from entering rack 1 and contaminating the medical supplies inside. The air then passes through pores 22 and into container 21, where it is sterilized and disinfected by activated carbon granules 23 inside container 21, preventing harmful airborne substances from adhering to the medical supplies. A second servo motor 30 drives horizontal shaft 31 to rotate. The second bevel gear 32 on horizontal shaft 31 rotates, driving the first bevel gear 29, which in turn rotates scraper 28 on vertical shaft 27 and cleans dust and other impurities accumulated on the bottom of filter plate 25, thereby maintaining high filtration efficiency and preventing clogging. Container 21 is removable, allowing for easy cleaning by removing it. The dust and impurities cleaned by the scraper 28 fall into the air inlet pipe 17 . By removing the sealing plug 18 , the dust and impurities in the air inlet pipe 17 can fall out, making it easier to clean the air inlet pipe 17 .
[0069] A suction pump continuously draws air into the racks, preventing air circulation from causing increases in humidity and temperature, thus protecting medical supplies from moisture. This creates a favorable storage environment for medical supplies and extends their storage life. Air flowing through the intake pipes is filtered by a filter plate to prevent impurities from entering the racks and contaminating the medical supplies. Activated carbon particles in the container sterilize and disinfect the air, preventing harmful substances in the air from adhering to medical supplies.
[0070] Tag 11 is an RFID tag, or radio frequency identification tag. It is a smart identifier that uses radio frequency technology to achieve contactless data identification and transmission. RFID tags communicate wirelessly with a reader / writer via a built-in chip and antenna. When the tag enters the reader / writer's radio frequency field, the induced current activates the chip, which then transmits the stored data to the reader / writer via the antenna, enabling information recognition and interaction. Since the package tag is RFID-tagged, identifying the RFID tag allows for traceability.
[0071] RFID tags can store a wealth of information, including the name, production date, expiration date, and batch number of a medical item. By quickly accessing this information with a reader / writer, the entire medical item process, from production to use, can be traced, improving management efficiency. Communication between RFID tags and readers is contactless, eliminating the need for manual scanning or contact, reducing operation time, human error, and the risk of cross-infection.
