[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0024] See also Figure 1-3 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0025] An intelligent specimen storage refrigerator for medical laboratories, as shown in the attached manual Figure 1 As shown, including:
[0026] The refrigerator body 1 is a prior art, and its temperature control principle is common knowledge in the art, so it will not be described in detail here. When using it, the size of the refrigerator body 1 can be selected according to the needs of the laboratory. In this embodiment, the refrigerator body 1 is provided with a plurality of storage slots 2, and the storage slots 2 are used to store specimen test tubes 100. Each storage slot 2 is provided with a storage rack 3, and the storage rack 3 is used to place the specimen test tubes 100;
[0027] The storage rack 3 is provided with a plurality of insertion slots, and the insertion slots are used to store the specimen test tubes 100 . When in use, the specimen test tubes 100 can be stored by inserting the specimen test tubes 100 into the insertion slots.
[0028] A control component, the control component includes an opening and closing mechanism and a moving mechanism, the opening and closing mechanism is used to control the opening and closing of the storage slot 2, and the moving mechanism is used to drive the storage rack 3 to move when the opening and closing mechanism opens the storage slot 2;
[0029] The opening and closing mechanism includes an opening and closing push rod 4 and a closing plate 5. In this embodiment, the opening and closing push rod 4 and the moving push rod 6 are both Thomson HD system high and low temperature electric push rods. The working environment temperature is -40°C to +85°C, which is suitable for the use scenario of this product. The opening and closing push rod 4 is arranged on the side wall of the storage tank 2 and is used to drive the closing plate 5 to move. The closing plate 5 is made of VCM coated steel plate. The presence of the coating layer can effectively reduce the heat transfer between the storage tank 2 and the outside world.
[0030] The moving mechanism comprises a moving push rod 6, two ends of which are respectively connected to the side wall of the storage slot 2 and the storage rack 3, and the moving push rod 6 is used to drive the storage rack 3 to move.
[0031] The digital display component includes a detection mechanism and a display mechanism. Each storage slot 2 is correspondingly provided with a display mechanism and a detection mechanism. The detection mechanism is used to detect the number of specimen tubes 100 on the storage rack 3, and the display mechanism is used to display the detection result of the detection mechanism.
[0032] The detection mechanism includes a measuring grating 7, which is composed of a number of reflective infrared sensors. The model of the infrared sensor is TOD400C laser ranging module, and the operating temperature is -20℃ to +70℃, which is suitable for the use scenario of this product. The intervals between each infrared sensor and the intervals between the insertion slots on the storage rack 3 correspond to each other. Therefore, when the detection distance of the infrared sensor changes, it means that the number of specimen tubes 100 on the storage rack 3 changes. The measuring grating 7 is set on the side wall of the storage slot 2 and is used to detect the number of specimens on the storage rack 3.
[0033] The display mechanism includes a digital display panel 8, which is a UP-5135 type digital display. The digital display is a conventional model digital display, which is connected and installed through conventional technical means to perform data acquisition, transmission and display, and is used to display the number of specimens after detection. The digital display panel 8 is arranged on one side of the storage slot 2, and the digital display panel 8 is used to display the number of specimen tubes 100 in the corresponding storage slot 2.
[0034] The refrigerator body 1 is also provided with a plurality of display lights 9, which are LED lights. The number of the display lights 9 is set corresponding to the number of the storage slots 2. The display lights 9 are used to flash before the opening and closing push rod 4 of the corresponding storage slot 2 drives the closing plate 5 to move, thereby reminding the user that the corresponding storage slot 2 is about to be opened or closed.
[0035] A control panel 10 and an identity recognition device are arranged above the refrigerator body 1. The control panel 10 is used to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator body 1 and control the opening of the corresponding storage slot 2 when it is detected that the specimen test tube 100 needs to be stored. The control panel 10 is also provided with a reset button. The reset button is used to control the opening and closing mechanism and the moving mechanism of the corresponding storage slot 2 (i.e., the storage slot 2 for taking or placing the specimen test tube 100) to reset by clicking the reset button of the control panel 10 after completing the taking or placing of the specimen test tube 100, so that the storage rack 3 is put into the storage slot 2 and the storage slot 2 is closed through the closing plate 5. At the same time, a remote communication module is arranged in the control panel 10, which can remotely send a long-term non-collection reminder to the receiver (computer) of the corresponding department when the corresponding department has not collected the sample for a long time. In this embodiment, the identity recognition device includes a card reader 11. The card reader 11 is a prior art that can be directly used. The corresponding storage slot 2 can be automatically opened by placing an identity card in the card reader 11.
[0036] Working principle: When storing specimens, the identity card is placed in the identity recognition slot for identity detection. After the identity detection is completed, the corresponding storage slot 2 is selected to be opened by observing the value on the digital display panel 8. When opening, the corresponding opening and closing push rod 4 will drive the corresponding closing plate 5 to open the storage slot 2. After opening, the moving push rod 6 will push the storage rack 3 out of the storage slot 2. Then the user will store the specimen test tube 100. After the storage is completed, the reset button of the control panel 10 is clicked, so that the moving push rod 6 drives the storage rack 3 to be put into the storage slot 2 and drives the closing plate 5 through the opening and closing push rod to close the storage slot 2.
[0037] When taking out the specimen, the identity card is placed in the identity recognition slot for identity detection. After the identity detection is completed, the display light 9 of the corresponding storage slot 2 will flash, and the corresponding opening and closing push rod 4 will drive the corresponding closing plate 5 to open the storage slot 2. After opening, the moving push rod 6 will push the storage rack 3 out of the storage slot 2, and then the user will take the specimen test tube 100. After storage is completed, click the reset button of the control panel 10, so that the moving push rod 6 drives the storage rack 3 into the storage slot 2 and drives the closing plate 5 to close the storage slot 2 through the opening and closing push rod.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
