Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a storage box, in particular to a first-in, first-out medical supplies storage box. Background Art
[0002] Medical supplies include drugs, medical devices, medical auxiliary supplies, etc. used in treating patients' diseases. Generally, hospitals follow the principle of "first-in, first-out" for the use of medical supplies, that is, the medical supplies stored in the warehouse first are taken first to ensure the orderly use of medical supplies. Nowadays, because medical supplies are usually sterile and disposable, with a short shelf life, following the "first-in, first-out" principle of use is even more important.
[0003] At present, medical supplies with large consumption (such as syringes, ampoule injection drugs, disposable suture kits, etc.) are generally stacked and stored in large storage boxes. Due to the large consumption, they are relatively messy after being directly put into the storage box, and it is impossible to distinguish the storage order, resulting in the confusion of the use order of medical supplies. It is easy to occur that the medical supplies of the previous batch have not been used or not used up, but the medical supplies of the later batch have already been used, causing some medical supplies to expire without being used, resulting in waste, increasing the medical cost, and even inadvertently putting the expired medical supplies into use, posing a potential medical safety hazard. Content of the Utility Model

[0035] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and the specific implementation manners.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a first-in-first-out type medical item storage box includes a box body 1 and a partition board 3, wherein:
[0037] The top of the box body 1 is provided with an upper cover 2. The upper cover 2 is of a folding structure, its rear end is hinged to the box body 1, and a handle 9 is provided at the front end. Compared with the existing integral cover, it has the advantages of small use space and convenient opening and closing. For a storage box with a relatively large volume, there is no need to support the upper cover 2 with one hand, which would otherwise only allow one-handed access to items.
[0038] The partition 3 is slidably placed in the middle of the box body 1. The partition 3 divides the interior of the box body 1 into two spaces, a placement cavity 11 above and a retrieval chamber 12 below. A front cover 4 is provided on the front side of the retrieval chamber 12. The front cover 4 is of an upward-folding structure; the upward-folding structure can fall by itself after use, preventing the front cover 4 from being forgotten to be closed after use.
[0039] Such as Figure 5 , a lock catch 5 is provided at the bottom of the front cover 4. The lock catch 5 has a certain range of movement on the front cover 4. A limit pin 6 that cooperates with the lock catch 5 is provided at the bottom of the front side of the box body 1; when the front cover 4 is lowered, the limit pin 6 will pass through the limit hole on the lock catch 5, preventing the front cover 4 from being easily opened and keeping cockroaches and mice out of the storage box.
[0040] It is worth mentioning that for the convenience of retrieving items, the lock catch 5 is rotatably provided on the front cover 4, and a hook 51 is provided on the outside of the lock catch 5. A hanging plate 7 is provided at the top of the front side of the box body 1 - such as Figure 4 And Figure 6 , when the front cover 4 is turned upward, the hook 51 can be hooked on the hanging plate 7, thus temporarily fixing the front cover 4 without the need for manual support, so that both hands can retrieve items simultaneously.
[0041] It should be noted that since the handle 9 is required to extract the partition 3, and to prevent the handle 9 from interfering with the upward-flipped front cover 4, such as Figure 4 , the width of the partition 3 is greater than that of the front cover 4, and the handle 9 is provided on the parts of the partition 3 on both sides of the front cover 4. At this time, when the front cover 4 is turned upward, it will pass between the two handles 9 without affecting each other.
[0042] It can be understood that when there are items in the placement cavity 11, the partition 3 will be under a certain pressure. Therefore, sliding grooves are provided on the inner walls of both sides in the middle of the box body 1. The partition 3 is located in the sliding grooves, and rollers are provided at the bottoms of both sides of the partition 3 to reduce the pulling resistance and facilitate use; and the setting of the sliding grooves can prevent gaps from being generated between the partition 3 and the inner wall of the box body 1, thereby preventing item packages from getting stuck in the gaps.
[0043] It should be added that in actual use, items are often placed neatly, but when they fall, they become messy and thus require more space. Therefore, in this utility model, the height of the retrieval chamber 12 is greater than that of the placement cavity 11, so that when the items fall from the placement cavity 11 to the retrieval chamber 12, they will still not be higher than the partition 3, ensuring that the partition can be inserted smoothly.
[0044] It should be specifically noted that the medical items in this storage box usually belong to the same kind of items, such as cotton swabs, bandages, etc. Therefore, they will not be inconvenient to pick up due to being not neatly arranged after falling.
[0045] Preferably, the partition 3 is a perforated plate provided with a number of hollow holes to increase air permeability.
[0046] Considering that this storage box needs to be frequently moved to different positions, for the convenience of movement, handles 8 are provided on both sides of the top of the box body 1.
[0047] The usage method of the present utility model is as follows:
[0048] 1. As Figure 2 , open the upper cover 2, put the relatively new items into the placement cavity 11, and then cover the upper cover 2;
[0049] 2. When all the items in the picking chamber 12 are taken out, as Figure 3 , pull out the partition 3, and at this time the items in the placement cavity 11 will fall into the picking chamber 12;
[0050] 3. When items need to be picked up, as Figure 4 , open the front cover 4 and hang the hook 51 on the hanging plate 7. At this time, the items in the picking chamber 12 can be picked up;
[0051] 4. Repeat the operation in step 1 to replenish the items in the storage box to achieve "first in, first out".
[0052] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and does not impose any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
