[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, A specimen storage container provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes a container main body 100. There is at least one installation position inside the container main body 100, and a placement rack 200 is provided in at least one installation position. In this embodiment, four placement racks 200 are provided, and the number of placement racks 200 can also be increased to meet the actual use requirements. And the placement rack 200 is used for storing specimens. At least one placement position 210 for inserting specimens is provided on the placement rack 200, and the number of placement positions 210 can be set to multiple. In this embodiment, in order to increase the storage quantity of specimens and meet the requirement of the risk of easy contamination caused by too close mutual spacing, the quantity can be reasonably set according to the diameter of the placement position 210, and an appropriate interval is set to meet the use requirements, which can be set according to the actual needs in this embodiment. At least one observation window 220 is provided on at least one circumferential side of the placement rack 200. The observation window 220 is used to observe the labels of the specimens, so that after the placement rack 200 is lifted, the label information of the specimens can be directly obtained by scanning through the observation window 220, so as to meet the management requirements.
[0042] Optionally, an observation window 220 is opened on a vertical part on one side of the placement rack 200, and the observation window 220 covers the label parts of all specimens, so that the testers can conveniently and quickly obtain the label information;
[0043] Optionally, a plurality of observation windows 220 corresponding to the label positions of the specimens are opened on a vertical part on one side of the placement rack 200, so that the testers can conveniently and quickly obtain the label information; Further, a completely open surface is provided on the outer periphery of the placement rack 200 to facilitate the cleaning of the inside of the placement rack 200. Furthermore, a lifting member 230 is movably connected to any one of the placement racks 200 to facilitate the lifting and placement of the placement rack 200 when the placement rack 200 needs to be operated.
[0044] Any one of the placement racks 200 is provided with an indication sign 240, and the indication sign 240 is used to display relevant information about the specimens, which is beneficial for patients to obtain relevant useful knowledge. In this embodiment, the indication sign 240 is set as an operation indication record information card, which is used to instruct patients to perform corresponding operations according to different specimens.
[0045] Further, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the placement positions 210 on the surfaces of different placement racks 200 are the same or different, so that the placement racks 200 can obtain different types of placement position 210 models to meet the actual use requirements; combined with the use scenario, four different shapes of the placement positions 210 are given in this embodiment to adapt to different specimens, such as urine and feces, drainage fluid, and sputum specimens.
[0046] At least one partition bin 400 is provided inside the container main body 100. The partition bin 400 is detachably installed inside the container main body 100 to facilitate the cleaning of the partition bin 400; the installation positions are formed by the spacing between the partition bins 400 or between the partition bin 400 and the inner wall of the container main body 100, and the size of the formed installation positions is adapted to the size of the placement rack 200, so as to be stably placed in the installation positions. In this embodiment, the number of partition bins 400 is set to five, and in complete cooperation with the container main body 100, the internal space of the container main body 100 is divided into four installation positions, and the four placement racks 200 are placed in the installation positions. A position adjustment mechanism 300 is provided inside the partition bin 400, and the position adjustment mechanism 300 is used to adjust the position of the placement rack 200 in the installation position. The number of placement racks 200 corresponds to the number of position adjustment mechanisms 300 to meet the usage requirements.
[0047] In this embodiment, the position adjustment mechanisms 300 are symmetrically arranged, and the partition bin 400 located in the middle position may or may not be provided with the position adjustment mechanism 300;
[0048] When the placement rack 200 is in the installation position, the position adjustment mechanism 300 is triggered by pressing the placement rack 200, so that the placement rack 200 is placed in the installation position, thereby submerging the placement rack 200 inside the container main body 100, and the observation window 220 on the placement rack 200 is covered.
[0049] When the placement rack 200 is detached from the installation position, the position adjustment mechanism 300 is triggered again by pressing the placement rack 200 again, so that the placement rack 200 is detached from the installation position, and then the observation window 220 on the placement rack 200 is exposed to facilitate direct viewing of the specimen label.
[0050] The position adjustment mechanism 300 includes a loose sleeve plate 320, a spring 330, a through groove 350, and a column 310 vertically fixed inside the partition bin 400. The loose sleeve plate 320 slides along the column 310. In this embodiment, the column 310 and the loose sleeve plate 320 are in damping sliding fit. Specifically, an inner circumferential groove for placing a rubber ring is provided on the loose sleeve plate 320 to place a rubber ring therein and add lubricating oil. Through the interference fit of the rubber ring sleeved on the column 310, the damping sliding effect is achieved, and existing available technical solutions can also be used for replacement. The spring 330 is sleeved on the column 310 and is used to support the loose sleeve plate 320. The spring 330 contacts the inner bottom of the container main body 100, so that the spring 330 supports the loose sleeve plate 320. A right-angle plate 340 is provided on one side of the loose sleeve plate 320. The horizontal section of the right-angle plate 340 extends into the installation position and is used to support the placement rack 200. In this implementation, due to the self-size conditions of the placement rack 200, in the schematic Figure 4The middle right-angle plate 340 is L-shaped and thus has two parts: a vertical section and a horizontal section. When the dimensions are appropriate, it is not limited to this shape structure as long as the above functions can be achieved. The through groove 350 is opened on the surface of the partition bin 400 for the horizontal section of the right-angle plate 340 to move; the length of the through groove 350 only needs to meet the usage requirements.
[0051] Further, to facilitate the cleaning of multiple structural parts of the position adjustment mechanism 300, the bottom of the partition bin 400 can be set to a completely open state, and at the same time, the through groove 350 can be extended to the edge of the partition bin 400 until it is completely penetrated. In this way, it is convenient for the right-angle plate 340 and the loose sleeve plate 320 to be detached, and the connection relationship between the upright column 310 and the partition bin 400 can be set as a detachable connection according to needs, and the connection method between the spring 330 and the loose sleeve plate 320 is a detachable fixation.
[0052] The position adjustment mechanism 300 further includes a limiting structure for restricting the movement of the loose sleeve plate 320 along the upright column 310.
[0053] The limiting structure includes a hook member 360 and a hook reset disk 370. The hook member 360 is rotatably connected to the loose sleeve plate 320 through a bearing seat. The bearing seat is fixed to the loose sleeve plate 320, and then the inner ring of the bearing seat is fixed to one end of the hook member 360, enabling the hook member 360 to deflect freely under the condition of circumferential rotation. The hook reset disk 370 is fixed to the partition bin 400. When pressing the placement rack 200, the hook member 360 moves downward and is guided by its own gravity to be buckled or detached from the hook reset disk 370 through contact with the hook reset disk 370.
[0054] As Figure 5 shown, the hook member 360 includes a vertical portion 361 and a horizontal portion 362. One end of the vertical portion 361 is rotatably connected to the loose sleeve plate 320, and the other end is fixed to the horizontal portion 362.
[0055] The hook reset disk 370 is fixed to the partition bin 400 and its center is on the vertical extension area of the vertical portion 361. It includes a main disk portion 371 and a hook receiving portion 372 for receiving the horizontal portion 362. The main disk portion 371 is comma-shaped, its tip faces the vertical portion 361 and is offset outside the vertical direction extension area of the vertical portion 361, and its round head end is offset outside the vertical direction extension area of the vertical portion 361. The tip of the main disk portion 371 and the hook receiving portion 372 are diagonally arranged on the hook reset disk 370.
[0056] On the inner opposing surfaces of the container body 100, guiding protrusions 110 are provided. The gap between the guiding protrusions 110 is adapted to the width of the partition bin 400. In this embodiment, equidistant traveling grooves for the insertion of the partition bin 400 are provided on the guiding protrusions 110 and are fixed by an interference fit method. Chamfers are machined on the guiding protrusions 110 to facilitate the guiding of the lower end portion for insertion into the installation position when the placement rack 200 is placed. A handle is also provided on the container body 100 to facilitate the transfer of the container body 100.
[0057] Specific operation of the embodiment: Since there are various types of existing specimens and there is no placement container that meets the requirements, a placement rack 200 is provided to place the specimens. Multiple models of placement positions 210 are set on the placement rack 200 to meet the usage requirements. A handle is provided on the placement rack 200 to facilitate lifting the placement rack 200 and observing the label on the specimen through the observation window 220, so that the scanning of information can be completed without directly contacting the specimen; in order to further facilitate the accurate placement of specimens by patients, an indication mark 240 is provided to prompt relevant operations, improve the accuracy, and reduce the pollution caused by repeated contact with the specimen due to incorrect placement.
[0058] To further enhance the usage experience and address the inconvenience caused by lifting the placement rack 200, a partition bin 400 is provided to separate adjacent placement racks 200. At the same time, an adjustment mechanism 300 is provided to meet the usage experience and further reduce the number and duration of contacts between the specimen and the human body. When the placement rack 200 is inserted into the installation position, by pressing the placement rack 200, the lower end of the placement rack 200 contacts the right-angle plate 340, and then the right-angle plate 340 and the fixed movable sleeve plate 320 compress the spring 330; the hook member 360 rotating on the movable sleeve plate 320 moves downward and slides along the outer periphery of the hook reset disk 370 by its own gravity. When the placement rack 200 is just submerged in the container body 100, stop pressing. Under the elastic force of the spring 330, a supporting force is formed. However, due to the cooperation between the vertical portion 361 and the hook receiving portion 372, the hook member 360 is hooked to the hook reset disk 370, and then the placement rack 200 is placed in the container body 100; when the specimen needs to be scanned and confirmed, press the placement rack 200 again until the placement rack 200 cannot move downward further, then release the placement rack 200. Under the damping cooperation between the upright column 310 and the movable sleeve plate 320, the right-angle plate 340 and the movable sleeve plate 320 slowly lift the placement rack 200 stably under the supporting force of the spring 330, thereby exposing the observation window 220 to display the label of the specimen, facilitating the scanning and acquisition of information. The purpose of reducing the number and duration of contacts is achieved.
[0059] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
