Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical inspection, in particular to a microorganism specimen filing device. Background Art

[0002] Hospitals' microbiology laboratories often receive various clinical specimens. After the specimens are processed, all the specimens of the day need to be placed in a refrigerator for seven days according to regulations, so that when clinical reexamination is required, the original specimens can be processed again. The sampling containers for accommodating clinical specimens include two types, namely type A and type B specimen sampling containers. The type A specimen sampling container has a wide mouth and is suitable for storing a certain amount of liquid, while the type B specimen sampling container is slender and is suitable for scraping or dipping a small amount of secretions.

[0003] However, since both type A and type B specimen sampling containers have various specifications of different sizes, and various clinical specimens received by hospitals' microbiology laboratories every day are also accommodated in specimen sampling containers of different specifications, the existing specimen loading racks cannot be used for storage.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 4 , when the microorganism specimen filing device of this embodiment is in use, various sizes of Class A specimen sampling containers 3 can be stored and fixed through the plurality of vertical slots 101 on the Class A container filing rack 1, and various sizes of Class B specimen sampling containers 5 can be stored and fixed through the plurality of horizontal slots 201 on the Class B container filing rack 2. After all the sampling containers are stored, the filing racks are stacked on top of each other and stored in a refrigerator for preservation.

[0038] It should be noted that for better classification, a plurality of filing racks of the same category are stacked in sequence.

[0039] Obviously, the microorganism specimen filing device of this embodiment can orderly arrange microorganism specimens of different specifications according to the container type, which helps to quickly and clearly lock the specimens for reexamination, and avoid the specimens from tipping over or being lost during the preservation process, reducing the occurrence of clinical contradictions.

[0040] Preferably, both the Class A container filing rack 1 and the Class B container filing rack 2 are made of stainless steel. Since the filing racks are used to store sampling containers with specimens, the Class A container filing rack 1 and the Class B container filing rack 2 need to be disinfected after each use. And since they are made of stainless steel, it is convenient to wipe and disinfect them with alcohol.

[0041] Preferably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a plurality of vertical card slots 101 are evenly arranged in a rectangular array on the top surface of the Class A container filing rack 1, and a plurality of horizontal card slots 201 are evenly arranged in a straight line on the side surface of the Class B container filing rack 2.

[0042] The regular arrangement of the vertical card slots 101 and the horizontal card slots 201 is helpful for the specimen storage operation of microbiology personnel. After inoculating and processing the specimens, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a plurality of Class A specimen sampling containers 3 containing specimens can be sequentially inserted into the plurality of vertical card slots 101 in the order from left to right and from front to back, and are fixed by being clamped and matched with the Class A specimen sampling containers 3 by the first elastic fixing component 4 at the bottom of the vertical card slots 101; a plurality of Class B specimen sampling containers 5 containing specimens are sequentially inserted into the plurality of horizontal card slots 201 in the order from front to back, and are fixed by being clamped and matched with the Class B specimen sampling containers 5 by the plurality of second elastic fixing components 6 in the horizontal card slots 201.
