Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of epidemiological specimens, and specifically relates to a storage device for epidemiological specimens. Background Art

[0002] Epidemiological specimens refer to biological samples collected in epidemiological studies for analyzing factors related to diseases, health conditions, risk factors, etc. These specimens can include blood, urine, tissues, saliva, and other body fluids, and even environmental samples (such as air, soil, water, etc.). The collection and analysis of epidemiological specimens are of great significance for understanding the occurrence, transmission, and prevention of diseases. Its functions are mainly reflected in four aspects: First, by analyzing the specimens, the epidemic trend and incidence of diseases can be monitored; Second, analyzing the biomarkers in the specimens can help study the causes of diseases and the relationship with environmental factors; Third, the specimens can also be used to evaluate the relationship between lifestyle, environmental exposure, and health outcomes; Finally, specimen analysis can provide a scientific basis for public health intervention measures and policies. The types of epidemiological specimens are mainly divided into biological specimens and environmental specimens. Biological specimens include blood (for detecting viruses, bacteria, antibodies, and biomarkers), urine (commonly used for drug screening and metabolite analysis), tissue samples (such as biopsy or surgically removed tissues for pathological research), and saliva (which can be used for biomarker analysis and hormone level detection). Environmental specimens include air samples (for detecting air pollutants and pathogenic agents), water samples (for detecting water quality and water source pollution), and soil samples (for analyzing the content of harmful substances in the soil). In the collection and processing of specimens, standardized procedures need to be followed to ensure the reliability and validity of the data. At the same time, ethical principles should also be followed and the informed consent of the participants should be obtained. In addition, the specimens should be properly stored and transported after collection to maintain their integrity and stability. The research and analysis of epidemiological specimens play an indispensable role in the fields of epidemiology and public health, and have an important impact on preventing and controlling diseases and improving the level of public health.

[0003] The application number is CN202220155201.9. This storage device includes a tank body, a rotating member, and a stator member. The tank body includes an accommodating cavity for accommodating fluid; the rotating member is arranged in the accommodating cavity and is rotatably connected to the tank body, and the rotating member is configured to drive the fluid to flow when rotating; the stator member is fixed in the tank body, and the stator member is used to block the fluid flow. The storage device of the embodiment of the present application can ensure the stability of the fluid performance.

[0004] In the above technology, components such as the tank body, rotating member, and stator member are used to increase the overall stability of the equipment. Since the present utility model is used in the field of epidemic specimens, it is important that the contact between the tank body itself and the external platform is stable. When the tank body shakes after being placed, it is extremely likely to affect the specimens stored inside the tank body.

[0005] Therefore, in view of this, in order to study and improve the existing deficiencies, an epidemiological specimen storage device is proposed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide an epidemiological specimen storage device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present utility model provides the following technical solution: An epidemiological specimen storage device, including: a storage tank and a cover shell, and a stability maintaining structure is provided at the bottom end of the storage tank;

[0008] A plug is provided at the bottom end of the cover shell. A cylindrical hole is vertically penetrated through the inside of the plug and the cover shell. A push cylinder is vertically penetrated through the circular holes inside the plug and the cover shell. A push plate is provided at the bottom end of the push cylinder. Leakage prevention structures are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the plug.

[0009] Further, the structure of the push cylinder is composed of a vertical rod portion and a circular head portion. The diameter of the circular head portion of the push cylinder is equal to the aperture of the circular hole vertically penetrated through the inside of the plug and the cover shell, which is convenient for the circular head portion at the top of the push cylinder to be able to be stuck inside the circular hole at the connection between the plug and the cover shell after the push cylinder is pressed down.

[0010] Further, the stability maintaining structure includes a rubber tank ring, a clamping block, and a suction cup. The rubber tank ring is glued to the bottom end of the storage tank. A clamping block is annularly and fixedly provided at the upper end inside the rubber tank ring. A suction cup is provided at the bottom end of the rubber tank ring. The diameter of the upper end inside the rubber tank ring is smaller than the diameter of the lower end inside the rubber tank ring, which is convenient for the bottom end of the rubber tank ring to provide a larger contact surface when contacting the external platform.

[0011] Further, the suction cup is made of rubber material. The diameter of the upper end of the suction cup is smaller than the diameter of the lower end of the suction cup. A through hole is provided inside the suction cup, which is convenient for the installation and use of the suction cup.

[0012] Further, the leakage prevention structure includes a clamping rod, a turning block, a rotating cylinder, and a rotating shaft. Clamping rods are vertically and fixedly provided on both sides of the bottom end of the plug. Rotating shafts are provided on both sides of the clamping rods. A rotating cylinder is horizontally movably provided inside the rotating shafts. A turning block is glued to the front end of the rotating cylinder. The turning block has an L-shaped appearance, which is convenient for the turning block to rotate after being squeezed and be able to resist against the inner wall of the storage tank.

[0013] Further, a rotating structure is provided between the rotating shaft and the rotating cylinder, facilitating the rotation of the turning block.

[0014] Further, a soft rubber sheath is sleeved outside the turning block to prevent one end of the turning block from scratching the inner wall of the storage tank.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. Through the rubber tank ring glued to the bottom end of the storage tank, the rubber tank ring increases the contact area for the storage tank to contact other planes. After the rubber tank ring and the upper end of the suction cup are engaged with each other, the clamping block fixed inside the rubber tank ring abuts against the outside of the upper end of the suction cup, thereby preventing the suction cup from detaching. At the same time, the suction cup provides a larger contact area plane for the rubber tank ring. Such a combined structure of the rubber tank ring and the suction cup can effectively prevent the storage tank from shaking due to shaking or too small contact area.

[0017] 2. After the push cylinder is pressed downward, the push cylinder drives the push plate to squeeze the vertically placed turning block. At the same time, after the turning block is stressed, it drives the rotating cylinder to rotate inside the rotating shaft. After the turning block rotates, it abuts against the upper end of the inner wall of the storage tank. In this way, the connection structure between the cover shell and the storage tank becomes more compact. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, an epidemiological specimen storage device includes: a storage tank 1 and a cover shell 5, and a stabilization structure 2 is provided at the bottom end of the storage tank 1;

[0031] A plug 4 is provided at the bottom end of the cover shell 5. A cylindrical hole is vertically penetrated through the inside of the plug 4 and the cover shell 5. A pushing cylinder 7 is vertically penetrated through the circular holes inside the plug 4 and the cover shell 5. A pushing plate 6 is provided at the bottom end of the pushing cylinder 7. Anti-leakage structures 3 are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the plug 4.

[0032] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, a stabilization structure 2 of an epidemiological specimen storage device includes a rubber tank ring 21, a clamping block 22 and a suction cup 23. The rubber tank ring 21 is glued to the bottom end of the storage tank 1. A clamping block 22 is annularly and fixedly provided at the upper end inside the rubber tank ring 21. A suction cup 23 is provided at the bottom end of the rubber tank ring 21. The diameter of the upper end inside the rubber tank ring 21 is smaller than the diameter of the lower end inside the rubber tank ring 21:

[0033] In addition, since the rubber tank ring 21 is glued to the bottom of the storage tank 1, the contact area at the bottom of the storage tank 1 is increased. At the same time, the clamping block 22 provided inside the rubber tank ring 21 can clamp the upper end of the suction cup 23, thereby increasing the linear distance between the contact surfaces of the storage tank 1 and the external object. The user can use rubber material to make the suction cup 23 to slow down the pressure generated by the whole storage tank 1. The user can also adjust the shape of the clamping block 22 and design the clamping block 22 as a hook type or a round grain type to better fit the outer surface of the suction cup 23.

[0034] Among them, the following effects and novel technologies are brought:

[0035] Enhanced stability: The stability - maintaining structure 2, through the combination of the rubber - tank ring 21 and the suction cup 23, increases the contact area between the storage tank 1 and the ground or other planes, thereby improving the overall stability and reducing the shaking caused by wobbling or insufficient contact area.

[0036] Prevent disengagement: The clamping block 22 clamps the upper end of the suction cup 23, effectively preventing the suction cup 23 from detaching from the bottom, ensuring the safety and reliability of the storage tank 1 during use.

[0037] Pressure dispersion: The suction cup 23 made of rubber material can relieve the overall pressure generated by the storage tank 1, making the object stable and not prone to tilting or falling.

[0038] Adjustable adaptability: Users can adjust the shape of the clamping block 22 according to their needs, such as designing it as a hook - type or round - grain type, to better fit the suction cup 23, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of use.

[0039] Multi - layer contact structure: The combined design of the rubber - tank ring 21, the clamping block 22 and the suction cup 23 realizes a multi - layer contact structure. This structure enables the storage tank 1 to be more stably fixed on the plane, while improving the complexity and innovation of the design.

[0040] Patented design of the suction cup 23: The design with different upper and lower diameters of the suction cup 23 (the upper end is smaller than the lower end) makes it more adaptable to various surfaces during adsorption, such as an uneven ground. At the same time, the through - hole design on the inner side facilitates installation and use, which is also an innovation in technology.

[0041] Integrated leak - proof design: Combined with the leak - proof structure 3, this storage device can not only maintain stability but also effectively prevent liquid leakage when storing epidemiological specimens, improving the overall safety and practicality.

[0042] Modular design of functions: Each component of the stability - maintaining structure 2, namely the rubber - tank ring 21, the clamping block 22 and the suction cup 23, cooperate with each other functionally and can be replaced or adjusted, realizing the modular design concept and allowing for flexible configuration according to different application requirements.

[0043] The stability - maintaining structure 2 not only improves the use stability of the storage tank 1 but also provides a safer and more efficient specimen storage solution, which has important practical significance for the preservation and management of epidemiological specimens.

[0044] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, for an epidemiological specimen storage device, the leak - proof structure 3 includes a clamping rod 31, a turning block 32, a rotating cylinder 33 and a rotating shaft 34. On both sides of the bottom end of the cover plug 4, the clamping rods 31 are vertically and fixedly arranged. On both sides of the clamping rod 31, the rotating shafts 34 are arranged. Inside the rotating shafts 34, the rotating cylinder 33 is horizontally movably arranged. At the front end of the rotating cylinder 33, the turning block 32 is glued. The turning block 32 has an L - shaped appearance:

[0045] For the rest, since the turning block 32 starts to rotate after being subjected to the vertical pressure, and the rotary cylinder 33 and the rotating shaft 34 assist the turning block 32 to rotate, the user can change the installation position of the clamping rod 31. When the clamping rod 31 is fixed at a position far from the push plate 6, the rotation angle of the turning block 32 after rotation will decrease. When the clamping rod 31 is fixed at a position close to the push plate 6, the rotation angle of the turning block 32 after rotation will increase. In this way, it is used to determine the contact time and speed between the push plate 6 pressing the turning block 32 and the inner wall of the storage tank 1 after the user presses the push cylinder 7.

[0046] The following effects and novel technologies are brought:

[0047] Effective leak prevention: The leak prevention structure 3 is realized through the cooperation of the turning block 32 and the rotary cylinder 33. After being pressed, the turning block 32 will rotate and press against the upper end of the inner wall of the storage tank 1, effectively closing the opening area of the storage tank 1, thereby preventing the liquid stored inside from leaking and ensuring the safety of the specimen.

[0048] Adjustable sealing performance: The user can adjust the position of the clamping rod 31 according to needs, thereby changing the rotation angle of the turning block 32, and further affecting the contact time and speed between it and the inner wall of the storage tank 1. This adjustable function enables the leak prevention effect to be optimized according to the characteristics of different specimens, improving the flexibility of storage.

[0049] Enhanced sealing compactness: The design that the turning block 32 rotates and presses against the inner wall of the storage tank 1 makes the connection between the cover shell 5 and the storage tank 1 more compact, reducing the gap at the opening, and further improving the overall sealing performance.

[0050] Convenient operation: The leak prevention structure 3 is designed considering the user experience. By simply pressing the push cylinder 7, the rotation of the turning block 32 can be triggered. The operation is simple, and the user can achieve the leak prevention function without complex operation steps.

[0051] Mechanical linkage design: The leak prevention structure 3 adopts a mechanical linkage design. The turning block 32 rotates with the help of the rotary cylinder 33 and the rotating shaft 34. This structure not only ensures the flexible rotation of the turning block 32 when under pressure, but also guarantees the efficient contact with the inner wall of the storage tank 1, reflecting an innovative mechanical design concept.

[0052] Use of the L-shaped turning block 32: The L-shaped appearance design of the turning block 32 enables it to better fit the inner wall of the storage tank 1 during rotation, thereby providing more effective sealing. In addition, this design can achieve a larger movement amplitude in a smaller space, improving the practicality of the sealing effect.

[0053] Adjustable position of the card rod 31: The adjustable installation position of the card rod 31 gives the storage device higher flexibility. The user can adjust the position of the card rod 31 according to specific needs to make the leak-proof effect more suitable for different storage conditions and specimen characteristics. This design improves the adaptability and user-friendliness of the storage device.

[0054] Integrated leak-proof function: The new leak-proof structure 3 integrates multiple functions such as sealing, adjustment, pressure sensing, etc., so that the storage device can simplify the structure while ensuring the airtightness, thereby improving the overall efficiency and practicality of the device.

[0055] This leak-proof structure 3 realizes an efficient leak-proof function in the epidemiological specimen storage device, while providing flexible operating performance and innovative design concepts, and is suitable for the safe storage of various epidemiological specimens.

[0056] Working principle: When using the epidemiological specimen storage device, first put the sample to be contained into the storage tank 1, and then place the storage tank 1 at the designated position. At this time, the rubber tank ring 21 at the bottom of the storage tank 1 provides a larger contact platform for the area of the storage tank 1 contacting other positions, so as to ensure that the storage tank 1 will not shake after being placed. At the same time, the upper end of the suction cup 23 is inserted into the rubber tank ring 21, and the block 22 inside the rubber tank ring 21 will press against the outer side of the suction cup 23. At this time, the distance between the storage tank 1 and the contact plane will be Add, and then the user aligns the cover shell 5 and the cover plug 4 with the top of the storage tank 1. After the cover shell 5 and the cover plug 4 are placed in the top of the storage tank 1, the push cylinder 7 is pressed, and the push cylinder 7 drives the push plate 6 to impact the flip block 32 installed at the bottom end of the clamping rod 31 on both sides of the cover plug 4. After the flip block 32 is impacted, the rotating cylinder 33 and the rotating shaft 34 help the flip block 32 to flip. When the flip block 32 flips to an inclined angle, it rests against the inner wall of the storage tank 1. At this time, the connection structure between the storage tank 1 and the cover shell 5 and the cover plug 4 becomes tighter. This is the working principle of the epidemiological specimen storage device.

[0057] The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present invention and thereby design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific uses.
