Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a portable storage and transportation box for animal samples. Background Art

[0002] In the process of animal disease prevention and control, it is necessary to collect, transport and detect animal samples to diagnose the incidence of diseases in pastures so as to make timely countermeasures. The types of samples often used in animal disease prevention and control mainly include blood, swabs and tissue samples. For different detection requirements, different blood samples may be needed, such as anticoagulated blood and serum. Or both of these blood samples may be needed at the same time, as well as anticoagulated blood with different anticoagulants. The tissue samples of animals may include tissue samples from different parts. Swabs include different types such as livestock and poultry oral swabs, anal swabs, environmental swabs, etc. In most cases, multiple types of samples are collected from the same animal.

[0003] Currently, during the collection of animal samples, disposable centrifuge tubes with lids are mostly used to store blood samples, and then marked on the tube wall with a marker pen. Most tissue samples use plastic sampling bags. After the samples are collected, they are put into the sampling bags, sealed, and then marked on the bags with a marker pen. The on-site storage centrifuge tubes of animal samples are mainly placed on a centrifuge tube rack. The plastic sampling bags are collected and put into a large plastic bag after collection. Then the collected samples are loaded into a plastic box for transportation.

[0004] The current technology has the following deficiencies:

[0005] 1. There is a risk of cross-contamination of samples.

[0006] The current specimen transportation method is to transport the same type of samples from different animals together. For example, blood samples are placed together and tissue samples are placed together. Because the on-site environment for animal sample collection is poor, it is easy to have incomplete external disinfection of the sample tubes / bags after collection. At the same time, the samples of different animals are placed next to each other, which is easy to cause cross-contamination and affect the test results.

[0007] 2. It is difficult to query samples, and there is a risk of misidentifying samples

[0008] In the current specimen transportation method, most are marked on the side walls of the sampling tubes / bags. During the process of sorting out samples for testing after transportation, each sampling tube / sampling bag needs to be taken out and the marks on the side walls need to be checked to find the required samples. This method wastes a lot of time and energy. Moreover, when collecting tissue samples, the marks written on the plastic sampling bags with a marker pen are easily smeared by tissue fluid or contaminated through the operator's gloves, making the marks unclear. This brings difficulties to sample retrieval and traceability. At the same time, the information recording space for samples is insufficient, and there is a situation where similar samples cannot be distinguished.

[0009] 3. Complicated sample picking and placing

[0010] In the current specimen transportation method, for animal tissue samples, they are placed in plastic sampling bags. Since the sampling bags have no rigidity, they usually spread out at the bottom, and multiple plastic sampling bags are prone to being stacked together, making it cumbersome to pick and use them.

[0011] 4. There is a risk of environmental microbial contamination

[0012] In the current specimen storage and transportation methods, most use plastic boxes for storage and transportation at room temperature. Animal samples are very likely to breed microorganisms in a high-temperature environment, thus affecting the test results. Content of the utility model

[0013] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present utility model is to provide a portable animal sample storage and transportation box, which not only has a reasonable structure but also is convenient and fast.

[0014] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present utility model is: a portable animal sample storage and transportation box, including a box body. A refrigeration cavity is provided between the inner cavity and the outer wall of the box body. The inner cavity is divided into an array of partition cavities by partitions arranged in a horizontal and vertical cross pattern. Sample boxes are inserted in the partition cavities. Vertically arranged inner chutes are opened on the side walls of the sample boxes. Sliders are slidably connected in the inner chutes. The outer ends of the sliders protrude from the outer walls of the sample boxes and are hinged with identification tapes. Springs are fixed at the bottom ends of the sliders, and the bottom ends of the springs are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the inner chutes. Through grooves for the outward protruding parts of the sliders to slide are opened on the outer walls of the sample boxes; Sampling tube concave cavities and sampling bottle concave cavities for inserting sampling tubes and sampling bottles respectively are provided in the sample boxes.

[0015] Further, a box cover is hinged to the side of the sample box. An insertion pocket for inserting a sample card is fixed on the top of the box cover, and a notch for inserting the sample card is opened at the top of the insertion pocket.

[0016] Further, the top of the identification tape protrudes from the partition cavity, and identification cards are pasted or embedded on both the front and back sides of the identification tape.

[0017] Further, a shock-proof tube is fixed in the sampling tube concave cavity. A plurality of arc-shaped elastic plates are fixedly arranged at intervals along the circumference of the bottom of the shock-proof tube. The elastic plates are all arc-shaped and concave inward towards the center, and rubber blocks in the shape of water droplets are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the elastic plates.

[0018] Further, a plurality of anti-slip rubbers are fixedly arranged at intervals along the inner circumference of the bottom of the sampling bottle concave cavity.

[0019] Further, the partitions are fixedly connected to each other in an alternating manner and are all made of EVA foam material.

[0020] Further, the width of the through groove is smaller than the length of the slider to prevent the slider from disengaging.

[0021] Further, magnetic blocks for mutual adsorption are embedded at the bottom of the partition cavity and the bottom of the sample box.

[0022] Further, the refrigeration cavity is filled with refrigerant, and a box cover is hinged to the side end of the box body.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. Effectively avoid cross - contamination between samples.

[0025] The utility model designs independent sample boxes. Different samples of the same animal are placed in the same sample box. Each sample box is placed independently without contacting other samples, effectively avoiding cross - contamination.

[0026] 2. Sample information is convenient to record and easy to trace.

[0027] The utility model designs independent sample boxes. There are sample information marks on the lid and identification tape of each sample box, ensuring sufficient positions for recording sample information. The sample information marks include bar code information, animal information and information on the sampling process. The sample information in the whole sample box is rich, facilitating the recording and tracing of samples.

[0028] 3. Samples are convenient to find and retrieve.

[0029] The utility model designs independent sample boxes. A sample card is set on the lid of the sample box, recording animal and sampling information. When looking for a sample, one can accurately find the required sample by simply checking the information on the lid of the sample box, which is very convenient. If the information on the sample card is insufficient or the content of the sample cards on two sample boxes is the same and cannot be selected, one can lift the identification tape to observe more sample information on the identification tape, and it will automatically reset, providing convenient observation.

[0030] 4. Effectively control the influence of microbial growth on samples.

[0031] The utility model designs a sample box with a low - temperature function, enabling the samples to be immediately stored and transported in a low - temperature environment after sampling, preventing the growth of microorganisms caused by the high temperature of the surrounding environment and affecting the detection of samples.
