[0002] Many drugs are sensitive to changes in temperature, humidity and time during storage and transportation. Slight carelessness may lead to drug failure, deterioration or even toxic side effects. Therefore, the WHO has formulated detailed drug storage and transportation guidelines. The guidelines clearly require that all spaces used for storing and handling drugs with specific temperature and humidity requirements, including but not limited to cold storage rooms, low-temperature rooms, temperature-controlled storage areas, areas awaiting inspection, and receiving and discharging areas, etc., must conduct detailed temperature and humidity distribution studies, establish accurate temperature and humidity distribution models, and ensure that all drugs can be properly stored within their marked ideal temperature and humidity ranges by identifying the lowest and highest temperature and humidity points in the storage area. Therefore, environmental sensors are usually installed on the shelves for storing drugs.

[0003] To meet this requirement, a holding device for an environmental sensor is needed. The holding device must be safe and reliable to ensure stable operation in a complex and changeable warehousing environment; secondly, it should support quick disassembly and assembly to adapt to shelves of different sizes and specifications, reducing the operation difficulty and cost; finally, it should also have high adaptability to be flexibly adjusted with the change of the warehousing environment to ensure the continuity and accuracy of temperature and humidity monitoring of the environmental sensor.

[0018] Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view of the holding device according to the present invention. Detailed Description of the Invention

[0019] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. In the figures, for the sake of clarity, the dimensions of some elements may be exaggerated or distorted. The same reference numerals in the figures denote the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0020] In addition, the described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of the present disclosure may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, elements, etc. may be employed. In other instances, well-known structures, methods, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the present disclosure.

[0021] As Figure 1 shown, the environmental sensor 3 is fixed to the shelf 1 by means of a holding device 2. Here, the environmental sensor 3 is, for example, a temperature sensor and / or a humidity sensor. Of course, it can also be other sensors for monitoring the environmental state, such as a radiation level sensor, a harmful gas sensor, and so on. The holding device 2 includes a receiving portion and a holding portion. The environmental sensor 3 is installed in the receiving portion of the holding device 2. The probe of the environmental sensor 3 extends downward from the receiving portion. The holding device 2 is fixed to the shelf 1 by means of the holding portion, for example, fixed to the longitudinal beam of the shelf 1.

[0022] Figure 2 A perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of the holding device 2 according to the present disclosure is shown. As Figure 2 can be seen, the receiving portion of the holding device 2 is designed to be cylindrical, including a cylindrical peripheral side wall 2-5 and a bottom wall 2-6. A detection hole is provided in the middle of the bottom wall 2-6. The probe of the environmental sensor 3 can extend downward from the detection hole out of the cylindrical receiving portion. In addition, a rubber gasket is arranged around the detection hole on the bottom wall 2-6. The environmental sensor 3 is arranged on the rubber gasket. When the shelf moves, the rubber gasket can play a shock-absorbing role and reduce the risk of damage to the environmental sensor 3.

[0023] The holding portion of the holding device 2 is fixedly connected to the cylindrical receiving portion, such as by welding, bonding, or snap connection, etc. As Figure 2As shown, the holding part includes two opposing side walls and a connecting wall for connecting the two side walls. The two side walls and the connecting wall together form a laterally open interface for engaging with the shelf 1. The first side wall of the two side walls is fixedly connected to the cylindrical receiving part. The second side wall opposite to the first side wall is connected to the quick clamping mechanism. At least one through hole, here two through holes, is provided on the second side wall. A nut 2-3 is fixed on the second side wall around the through hole. The nut can be arranged on the inner or outer side of the second side wall. The bolt 2-2 is threadedly engaged with the nut 2-3 and passes through the through hole. The bolt 2-2 and the nut 2-3 together form an adjustable quick clamping mechanism. Although two bolts 2-2 are shown in Figure 2 , however, one bolt-nut mechanism or more bolt-nut mechanisms can also be provided. The bolt 2-2 further includes a bolt head, which serves as a manipulation handle and is configured with a knurled anti-slip structure to facilitate adjustment by the operator. The holding device 2 can be clamped relative to the shelf 1 through the quick clamping mechanism, and the height and position of the holding device 2 and the environmental sensor 3 can be quickly adjusted. Specifically, by rotating the bolt 2-2, the distance between the end of the screw rod and, for example, the longitudinal beam of the shelf 1 is adjusted, so as to achieve clamping or loosening. In addition, since the two side walls and the connecting wall together form a laterally open elongated interface for engaging with the shelf, even if the clamping becomes loose, the elongated interface will tilt, and the resulting frictional force causes the environmental sensor not to fall immediately.

[0024] Figure 2 It is also shown in that the screw rod of the bolt 2-2 is provided with a positioning hole at the end, that is, the end opposite to the bolt head, and a split pin is provided in the positioning hole. Thus, it can be prevented that the bolt causes the environmental sensor 3 to fall and be damaged due to being screwed too loose.

[0025] In an embodiment not shown, the through hole in the second side wall can be configured as a threaded hole with internal threads. Therefore, the nut fixed on the inner or outer side of the second side wall can be omitted.

[0026] The environmental sensor can include a communication module or be signal-connected to a communication module. That is to say, the environmental data measured by the environmental sensor can be transmitted to the upper-level control device or a remote monitoring platform, such as a cloud platform, through the communication module. Therefore, the detected environmental data can be recorded and stored in a timely manner, and the change of the environmental data over time can be obtained.

[0027] In addition, the holding part can also be designed in the form of a clip, a hoop, etc.

[0028] Overall, through the solution described in the present utility model, a holding device for an environmental sensor is provided, which can securely and reliably hold the environmental sensor and can be quickly disassembled, assembled and adjusted. In addition, it can also reduce the risk of damage to the environmental sensor, improve the monitoring level of the drug storage environment, ensure that the drugs are stored under the best conditions, and thus meet the strict requirements of the WHO and the industry for drug storage and transportation.

[0029] After considering the specification and practicing the content disclosed herein, those skilled in the art will readily conceive of other embodiments of the present utility model. The present utility model is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present utility model, which follow the general principles of the present utility model and include the well-known common knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed by the present utility model.
