Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbial detection equipment technology, specifically to a medical testing microbial detection and analysis device. Background Technology

[0002] The science that studies microorganisms is called microbiology. Depending on the focus and level of research, it has developed into many sub-disciplines. For example, according to the research object, it can be divided into bacteriology, virology, mycology, etc.; according to the research and application fields, it can be divided into medical microbiology, veterinary microbiology, food microbiology, etc.

[0003] Microbiological testing targets tiny organisms such as bacteria and fungi. Numerous contaminants float in the air, on work surfaces, and in the operator's hands and breath. If these contaminants fall into the samples, culture media, or cultures being inoculated or isolated, it can lead to sample contamination, misinterpretation of results, and experimental failure. When an alcohol lamp burns, the hot air above the flame rises, creating an upward airflow zone. The air within this zone is relatively clean because floating microorganisms and dust are carried away by the airflow and are unlikely to fall into the operating area. Therefore, operators perform critical operations, such as inoculation, streaking, and pipetting, within a 10-15 cm radius around the alcohol lamp flame. This area is known as the sterile zone. Inoculation loops / needles are the most commonly used tools in microbiological testing, used for picking samples, streaking isolation, and subculturing. Before and after these operations, the inoculation loop / needle must be heated until red-hot in the outer flame of the alcohol lamp, where the temperature can reach over 400°C, to kill any microorganisms carried on it and prevent cross-contamination. Before and after opening the stopper / cap of a culture medium tube, sample bottle, or bacterial inoculum tube, the opening should be quickly passed over a flame 2-3 times. This action kills microorganisms adhering to the bottle opening, preventing contaminants from falling in during opening and pouring. An alcohol lamp is a simple, inexpensive, rapid-heating device with reliable sterilization.

[0004] However, existing microbial detection and analysis devices cannot properly place analytical tools such as alcohol lamps, inoculation loops, petri dishes, and sample bottles. Improper placement will cause chaos on the test bench, making it difficult to provide stable and sufficient space for analysis and testing, thus reducing detection efficiency. In particular, alcohol lamps are flammable, fragile, and easily tipped over. If they are not properly placed, they will cause great inconvenience to the detection and analysis work. Therefore, we need to propose a medical laboratory microbial detection and analysis device. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, the second storage component includes a rotating box rotatably mounted at the bottom of the second cavity, and the second storage box is equidistantly embedded in the top of the rotating box.

[0011] Preferably, the enclosure assembly includes vertical plates installed on both sides of the front of the second cavity, a U-shaped bracket installed between the vertical plates, and the constricted end of the U-shaped bracket extends above the rotating box and is correspondingly positioned to the second storage box.

[0012] Preferably, a movable plate is slidably inserted into the side of the U-shaped bracket away from the rotating box, and a sliding rod is installed above the second cavity, with the movable plate slidably sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod.

[0013] Preferably, the second placement component includes a base plate, a pulley is installed at the bottom of the base plate, a limiting groove adapted to the pulley is opened inside the third cavity, a limiting ring is installed at the top of the base plate, and an alcohol lamp body is installed inside the limiting ring.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-9 The present invention provides a technical solution: a medical testing microbial detection and analysis device, including a base 1, a box 2 installed on the top of the base 1, a panel 3 installed on the top of the box 2, and an operation area 4 installed on one side of the top of the panel 3; the operation area 4 is used to provide operation space during the detection and analysis process.

[0023] Furthermore, a first placement component 5 for stably placing the petri dish is installed at the top of panel 3 and behind operating area 4. The first placement component 5 includes a fixing plate 13, a box 14 is installed above the fixing plate 13, the top of the box 14 is open, and equidistant limiting grooves are formed inside the box 14. The petri dish body 15 is placed inside the limiting grooves. First support rods 16 are installed on both sides of the box 14, and second support rods 17 are slidably engaged at the bottom of the first support rods 16. The bottom of the second support rods 17 is connected to the top of the fixing plate 13. By setting the box 14 and the arc-shaped limiting grooves, the petri dish body 15 to be used in the analysis and detection process can be stably placed.

[0024] A U-shaped fixing rod 18 is provided on the top of the petri dish body 15. Both ends of the U-shaped fixing rod 18 extend to the side of the box body 14. Insert rods 19 are slidably inserted into both sides of the U-shaped fixing rod 18. One end of the insert rod 19 slides into the interior of the side of the box body 14. By pressing or pulling the insert rod 19, its end can be inserted into or removed from the reserved hole in the side wall of the box body 14, thereby locking or releasing the U-shaped fixing rod 18 and ensuring that the petri dish body 15 will not move or tip over accidentally during operation.

[0025] Specifically, a first cavity 6 is provided on one side of the panel 3, at the edge of the operating area 4. The first cavity 6 extends into the interior of the housing 2. A first storage component 7 for concealed storage of microbial testing instruments is installed inside the first cavity 6. The first storage component 7 includes an electric push rod 20, which is installed at the bottom of the first cavity 6. A first storage box 21 is rotatably mounted on the power output end of the electric push rod 20. A sealing plate 22 is installed on the top of the first storage box 21 and is slidably embedded in the top of the panel 3. A controller 23, which is electrically connected to the electric push rod 20, is installed on one side of the front of the housing 2. The controller 23 can activate the electric push rod 20, pushing the first storage box 21 upward so that its top is slightly higher than the plane of the panel 3. At the same time, because it is rotatably mounted, the first storage box 21 can tilt outward at a certain angle after rising, making it easier for users to retrieve and put away commonly used small tools stored inside, such as inoculation loops, sampling spoons, tweezers, etc. After use, the electric push rod 20 retracts, concealing the first storage box 21 within the first cavity 6, thus achieving concealed storage. This structure makes efficient use of space, enabling concealed storage of frequently used small tools while ensuring easy access and reducing external contamination, maintaining cleanliness.

[0026] The box 2 has a second cavity 8 inside, and a second storage component 9 for classifying and storing testing equipment is installed inside the second cavity 8. The front of the box 2 has a sealing component 10 for sealing the second storage component 9. The second storage component 9 includes a rotating box 24 rotatably installed at the bottom of the second cavity 8, and a second storage box 25 is equidistantly embedded on the top of the rotating box 24. It can be used to classify and store different sample bottles, reagent tubes, glass slides and other items. The sealing component 10 includes vertical plates 26 installed on both sides of the front of the second cavity 8, and a U-shaped bracket 27 is installed between the vertical plates 26. The closed end of the U-shaped bracket 27 extends to the top of the rotating box 24 and is correspondingly set with the second storage box 25.

[0027] A movable plate 28 is slidably inserted into the side of the U-shaped bracket 27 away from the rotating box 24. A slide rod 29 is installed above the second cavity 8, and the movable plate 28 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 29. When an item needs to be retrieved, the movable plate 28 is pulled outward to slide along the slide rod 29, thereby freeing up space inside the U-shaped bracket 27. Then, the rotating box 24 can be manually rotated to rotate the desired second storage box 25 to the access port position in front of the U-shaped bracket 27. At this time, the desired item can be retrieved from the outside of the box 2.

[0028] It is worth noting that the top of the rotating box 24 is equidistantly fitted with multiple independently divided second storage boxes 25. This design achieves high-density, modular three-dimensional storage. Traditional drawers or shelves provide linear or planar storage, while the rotating design fully utilizes the depth and volume of the second cavity 8, expanding the storage space from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional structure. Multiple independent compartments allow users to meticulously categorize and store a wide variety of testing equipment, such as different types of sample bottles, reagent tubes, slides, and micropipette tips. Each compartment can specifically store one type of item, avoiding cross-contamination and ensuring clear item location, eliminating the need to rummage through multiple drawers and effectively improving storage efficiency and organization.

[0029] Furthermore, the tapered end of the U-shaped support 27 acts like a "protective shield," covering most of the second storage box 25 from above, leaving only the front access opening. This ensures that when the rotating box 24 rotates, regardless of its speed, the items inside are confined within the semi-enclosed space formed by the compartments and support, preventing them from falling out. This ensures operational safety and avoids damage to expensive samples or hazardous reagents, as well as the resulting biosafety risks. While the U-shaped support 27 is an excellent protective device, if it were completely fixed, it would prevent the user from reaching to retrieve items. This design incorporates a sliding movable plate 28. In the storage and rotation states, the movable plate 28 remains in place, forming a complete protective ring together with the U-shaped support 27.

[0030] In storage / retrieval mode, users can simply pull the movable panel 28 outward to create an opening in the protective ring, providing ample storage and retrieval space. This design allows for flexible switching between tight protection and open access, with a simple, reliable structure and intuitive operation. All loose bottles and jars are stored inside the cabinet 2, and the work surface appears very clean and tidy when the door is closed, conforming to the design aesthetics of modern laboratory equipment. It avoids the clutter caused by placing multiple storage shelves on the work surface, while also reducing the space occupied, leaving the operating area 4 for core testing work.

[0031] Furthermore, a third cavity 11 is provided inside the housing 2, on the side of the operating area 4 away from the first placement component 5. A second placement component 12 is installed inside the third cavity 11 to stably place the alcohol lamp. The second placement component 12 includes a base plate 30, with a pulley 31 mounted on the bottom of the base plate 30. A limiting groove adapted to the pulley 31 is provided inside the third cavity 11. A limiting ring 32 is installed on the top of the base plate 30, and the alcohol lamp body 33 is installed inside the limiting ring 32. The inner diameter of the limiting ring 32 fits tightly with the outer diameter of the alcohol lamp base, firmly holding the alcohol lamp and preventing any horizontal shaking or displacement when the base plate 30 moves or remains stationary. A baffle 34 is installed on the front of the base plate 30, and a window 35 is provided on the panel 3. A flip-up plate 36 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the window 35. A trapezoidal placement rack 37 is installed on the top of the panel 3, above the alcohol lamp body 33, which can be used to place tools such as heated inoculation loops. When the alcohol lamp is needed, open the flip panel 36, and pull the base plate 30 along with the alcohol lamp body 33 to the appropriate position via the baffle 34 for ignition. After use, push it back and close the flip panel 36, ensuring both safety and cleanliness. The design of the flip panel 36 enables quick access and instant cleanliness. When needed, simply flip open the flip panel 36 to operate, eliminating the tedious steps of opening cabinet doors and retrieving the alcohol lamp from deep within. After use, push the base plate 30 back and close the flip panel 36. With just two actions, the open flame and flammable materials disappear instantly, and the work surface is immediately clean and ready for subsequent aseptic operations. This instant access and instant disengagement feature greatly improves work efficiency and work surface space turnover.

[0032] It's worth noting that placing the alcohol lamp directly on the table in the traditional way poses a persistent safety hazard. This design stores the alcohol lamp body 33 inside the third cavity 11 under normal conditions. After closing the flip panel 36, the alcohol lamp is completely isolated within the metal enclosure 2. This greatly reduces the possibility of the alcohol lamp tipping over due to accidental collisions, table vibrations, or human error. Even in the rare event of a spontaneous explosion, its impact is confined to the enclosed space and cannot affect other external areas, demonstrating dynamic storage and safe isolation design. The core purpose of the alcohol lamp is to heat and sterilize inoculation loops. The trapezoidal shelf 37 is located directly above the alcohol lamp, providing an excellent, dedicated cooling area for the burned inoculation loops. Users no longer need to search for heat-resistant pads or another shelf, achieving "heating-cooling" within the same vertical space. The operation process is incredibly smooth, avoiding the risk of the heated inoculation loop burning the table or personnel. The embedded, hidden design maximizes the effective table surface area and enhances the overall aesthetics.

[0033] A cleaning box 38 is embedded on one side of the panel 3 for temporarily storing the utensils to be cleaned or for initial rinsing. The front of the third cavity 11 is connected to the outside of the front of the box body 2 so that the bottom plate 30 can be pulled out and pushed in. A recycling box 39 is embedded at the bottom of the third cavity 11 for collecting solid waste or broken utensils generated during the experiment. The recycling box 39 can be pulled out separately for cleaning.

[0034] In summary, through a reasonable zoning design, it integrates functions such as operation, storage, heating, cleaning, and recycling. It pays special attention to the stable and safe storage and management of flammable, fragile, and easily contaminated items, effectively solving problems such as cluttered laboratory benches, inconvenient tool access, and safety hazards in existing technologies. It effectively improves the efficiency and safety of medical laboratory microbiology testing and analysis.

[0035] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
