Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of health quarantine, and particularly relates to a quarantine specimen box. Background Art

[0002] Quarantine is a measure of risk management and is an assessment process to confirm that a certain object meets certain requirements and standards. When humans, animals, plants, etc. enter from one place to another, in order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, etc., isolation quarantine must be carried out, especially when there may be an epidemic in the local area. Comprehensive measures taken to prevent the import, export, and spread of infectious diseases include medical examinations, health inspections, and necessary sanitary treatments. In infectious disease quarantine, medical examinations generally involve the examination and analysis of body fluids such as blood and saliva.

[0003] Currently, for body fluid sample specimens, sampling tubes are mainly used for collection and preservation, and several sampling tubes are uniformly stored and sorted using a specimen box for subsequent transportation. However, most sampling tubes are made of glass. Even with certain protective measures during transportation, they may still be damaged due to shaking or other reasons, and then the body fluid inside, which may contain infectious sources, will spread, causing other sampling tubes to be contaminated and bringing unnecessary trouble to relevant staff. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a quarantine specimen box that can prevent body fluid from spreading after the sampling tube breaks.

[0005] The described quarantine specimen box includes a U-shaped plate. Two test tube boxes are arranged left and right inside the U-shaped plate. The lower ends of the two test tube boxes are rotatably matched with the U-shaped plate through rotating shafts. A plurality of placement holes for placing sampling tubes are opened at the tops of the test tube boxes. A water absorption part for absorbing body fluid is fixed inside the lower end of each placement hole. First limit components for restricting the tilting angle of the test tube boxes are fixed at the upper ends of the two test tube boxes. A box cover is arranged above the two test tube boxes. A second limit component that is slidably matched with the U-shaped plate up and down and is used to fix the position of the box cover after sliding is fixed on the box cover. A plurality of fixing holes corresponding to the placement holes one by one are opened at the bottom of the box cover. A sealing cap for sealing the corresponding placement hole is fixed inside each fixing hole.

[0006] Furthermore, rotating shafts are fixed on the front and rear side walls of the test tube box. Installation holes are opened on the front inner side wall and the rear inner side wall of the U-shaped plate. The two rotating shafts are inserted into the corresponding installation holes and are rotatably matched with them.

[0007] Furthermore, the water absorption part is a superabsorbent resin.

[0008] Further, the first limiting component includes a limiting rod, which is fixed on the side wall of the test tube box facing another test tube box. Limiting grooves are provided on both the front inner wall and the rear inner wall of the U-shaped plate. The front and rear ends of the limiting rod are respectively inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves and are in sliding fit with them. When the limiting rod is at one end of the limiting groove, the test tube box is in a vertical state. When the limiting rod is at the other end of the limiting groove, the test tube box is in an inclined state and the upper end is located outside the U-shaped plate.

[0009] Further, the second limiting component includes screws respectively fixed on the front side wall and the rear side wall of the box cover. Sliding grooves that communicate with each other front and rear and are used for the screws to pass through and slide up and down are provided on both the front side wall and the rear side wall of the U-shaped plate. Fixing blocks that are in threaded fit with them are sleeved on one end of each of the two screws passing through the sliding grooves.

[0010] Further, the aperture of the lower end of the placement hole is the same as the outer diameter of the sampling tube but smaller than the aperture of the upper end of the placement hole. The sealing cap is in a cylindrical structure with a sealed upper end and is in sealing fit with the placement hole.

[0011] Further, raised blocks are fixed on both the front side wall and the rear side wall of the upper end of the U-shaped plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] With the present utility model, the water-absorbing part provided inside the lower end of the placement hole can quickly absorb the spilled body fluid when the sampling tube is damaged due to shaking or other reasons, preventing the body fluid containing the source of infection from spreading, thus preventing other sampling tubes from being contaminated and avoiding unnecessary trouble for the relevant staff. Also, by moving the box cover downward to insert the sealing cap into the upper end of the corresponding placement hole, the sealing of the placement hole is achieved, further ensuring that even when the sampling tube is damaged and the device is in an inverted, horizontal or other states, the body fluid will not flow out of the placement hole to contaminate other sampling tubes. And when the device is restored to the upright position, the body fluid will still be absorbed by the water-absorbing part, thereby achieving the effect of further preventing the body fluid from spreading. In addition, the test tube box can be freely switched between the use state and the sealed state through the limiting rod and the limiting groove, and when in use, the test tube box is in an inclined state, which is more convenient for medical staff to insert the sampling tube into the placement hole.

Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] Embodiment 1

[0020] A quarantine specimen box described in this embodiment includes a U-shaped plate 1. Two test tube boxes 3 distributed left and right are arranged inside the U-shaped plate 1. The lower ends of the two test tube boxes 3 are rotatably matched with the U-shaped plate 1 through a rotating shaft 2. Through the rotating shaft 2, the lower ends of the test tube boxes 3 can swing relative to the U-shaped plate 1. Both the U-shaped plate 1 and the test tube boxes 3 are made of plastic; as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, there is a certain gap between the bottom of the test tube box 3 and the inner bottom of the U-shaped plate 1. The front and rear side walls of the test tube box 3 are both fixed with a rotating shaft 2. The front inner side wall and the rear inner side wall of the U-shaped plate 1 are both provided with mounting holes. The two rotating shafts 2 are inserted into the corresponding mounting holes and are rotatably matched therewith;

[0021] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a plurality of placement holes for placing the sampling tube 9 are opened at the top of the test tube box 3. In this embodiment, the sampling tube 9 can be freely placed through the plurality of placement holes opened on the test tube box 3;

[0022] An absorbing part 10 for absorbing body fluid is fixed inside the lower end of each placement hole. As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, the absorbing part 10 provided inside the lower end of the placement hole can quickly absorb the overflowing body fluid when the sampling tube 9 is damaged due to shaking or other reasons, avoiding the spread of the body fluid containing the source of infection, thereby preventing other sampling tubes from being contaminated and avoiding unnecessary trouble to the relevant staff; the absorbing part 10 is a superabsorbent resin, which is widely used to absorb urine, blood, medicinal liquid, etc., such as diapers. At the same time, the upper end of the sampling tube 9 protrudes from the placement hole, which is convenient for placing and taking the sampling tube 9. The direct contact between the bottom of the sampling tube 9 and the absorbing part 10 can also avoid increasing the probability of damage to the sampling tube 9 due to rigid contact;

[0023] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3, Limiting rods 4 are fixed to the upper ends of both test tube boxes 3. The limiting rods 4 are fixed to the side walls of the test tube boxes 3 facing the other test tube box 3. Limiting grooves 8 are provided on both the front inner wall and the rear inner wall of the U-shaped plate 1. The front and rear ends of the limiting rods 4 are respectively inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves 8 and are in sliding fit with them. When one end of the limiting rod 4 is located in the limiting groove 8, the test tube box 3 is in a vertical state as a whole. When the other end of the limiting rod 4 is located in the limiting groove 8, the test tube box 3 is in an inclined state as a whole and the upper end is located outside the U-shaped plate 1 (the limiting rod 4 and the limiting groove 8 in this paragraph as a whole constitute the first limiting component for limiting the inclination angle of the test tube box 3. In practical applications, there can also be two limiting rods 4, and the two limiting rods 4 are respectively fixed to the front side wall and the rear side wall of the test tube box 3). In this embodiment, through the limiting rod 4 and the limiting groove 8, the test tube box 3 can freely switch between the two states of use and storage as shown in Figure 1 , and at the same time, when the test tube box 3 is in an inclined state during use, it is more convenient for medical staff to insert the sampling tube 9 into the placement hole; as shown in Figure 1 , the left test tube box 3 is in a state where the sampling tube 9 has been inserted, and the limiting rod 4 of this test tube box 3 is fixed to the right side wall, that is, it can only tilt to the left. The right test tube box 3 is in a state where the sampling tube 9 is being inserted, and the limiting rod 4 of this test tube box 3 is fixed to the left side wall, that is, it can only tilt to the right;

[0024] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , covers 6 are provided above both test tube boxes 3. Screws 5 are fixed to both the front side wall and the rear side wall of the cover 6. Sliding grooves that are communicated front and back and are used for the screws 5 to pass through and slide up and down are provided on both the front side wall and the rear side wall of the U-shaped plate 1. Fixing blocks 11 that are in threaded fit with them are sleeved on the ends of the two screws 5 that pass through the sliding grooves (the screw 5 and the fixing block 11 in this paragraph as a whole constitute the second limiting component that is in up and down sliding fit with the U-shaped plate 1 and is used to fix the position of the cover 6 after sliding. In practical applications, only one screw 5 can also be used and fixed to the top of the cover 6). In this embodiment, the cover 6 can be freely moved up and down through the screw 5 and the sliding groove, and by simply rotating the fixing block 11 to make the fixing block 11 abut against or separate from the U-shaped plate 1, the position of the cover 6 can be quickly fixed and the limit on the cover 6 can be released;

[0025] A plurality of fixing holes corresponding to the placement holes one by one are provided at the bottom of the cover 6. A sealing cap 7 for sealing the corresponding placement hole is fixed in each fixing hole. In this embodiment, by moving the cover 6 downward, the sealing cap 7 is inserted into the upper end of the corresponding placement hole, thereby realizing the sealing of the placement hole. Furthermore, it is ensured that even if the sampling tube 9 is damaged and the device is in an inverted, horizontal or other states, the body fluid will not flow out of the placement hole and cause other sampling tubes 9 to be contaminated. And when the device is restored to the upright position, the body fluid will still be absorbed by the water absorption part 10, so as to further prevent the body fluid from spreading, as shown inFigure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , and Figure 3 , the diameter of the lower end of the placement hole is the same as that of the sampling tube 9 but smaller than that of the upper end of the placement hole. The sealing cap 7 has a tubular structure with a sealed upper end and is in sealing fit with the placement hole. In actual application, the sealing cap 7 is made of rubber and has a tubular plastic inside.

[0026] When this embodiment is used, first tilt the test tube box 3 so that the orifice of the placement hole is completely exposed from the U-shaped plate 1. Then, medical staff insert the sampling tube 9 into the placement hole. After that, push the test tube box 3 back to its original position. Then loosen the fixing block 11 and press down the box cover 6 until the sealing cap 7 is inserted into the upper end of the placement hole. Then tighten the fixing block 11. Finally, place the entire U-shaped plate 1 into a transport box for transportation.

[0027] Embodiment 2

[0028] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. The front side wall and the rear side wall of the upper end of the U-shaped plate 1 are both fixed with raised blocks 12. As Figure 3 shown, it is more convenient for medical staff to pick up and carry the entire U-shaped plate 1 through the raised blocks 12.
