[0034] Example 1, reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , which is the first embodiment of the present utility model, provides a drug transport vehicle with good protection, the device includes:

[0035] The support unit 100 includes a support frame 101, a storage box 102 mounted on the support frame 101, and a drawer 103 slidably mounted on the storage box 102. The storage box 102 is used to accommodate the drawer 103 and the refrigeration chamber 101c. The drawer 103 is used to store medicines at room temperature, and the refrigeration chamber 101c is used to store medicines that require refrigeration.

[0036] The protective unit 200 includes a receiving slot 201 disposed on the drawer 103, a protective assembly 202 disposed on the receiving slot 201, and an expansion assembly 203 disposed on one side of the protective assembly 202. Furthermore, the self-locking unit 300 includes a support base 301 disposed on the storage box 102, a locking slot 302 disposed on the drawer 103, and a self-locking assembly 303 disposed on the support base 301. The protective assembly 202 protects medicine bottles in the drawer 103, particularly glass medicine bottles; the expansion assembly 203 protects bagged medicines. Both the protective assembly 202 and the expansion assembly 203 are disposed within the drawer 103, which provides storage space for the protective assembly 202 and the expansion assembly 203. The self-locking assembly 303 protects the entire drawer 103, preventing the drawer 103 from being detached from the storage box 102 due to jolts.

[0037] The protective assembly 202 includes a fixing strap 202a disposed on the receiving slot 201, a limiting slot 202b disposed on the fixing strap 202a, a limiting block 202c slidably disposed on the fixing strap 202a, an elastic strip 202d disposed on the limiting block 202c, a retractable strap 202e disposed on the elastic strip 202d, and a retractable sleeve 202f slidably disposed on the retractable strap 202e. The retractable strap 202e slides within the retractable sleeve 202f, the elastic strap can be retracted within the limiting slot 202b, and the limiting block 202c slides on the fixing strap 202a, thereby achieving fixed protection for medicine bottles of different calibers.

[0038] The expansion assembly 203 includes a partition 203a mounted on the drawer 103 and a strap 203b mounted on the partition 203a. The space formed by the partition 203a is used to store various bagged medications. The strap 203b is used to secure the bagged medications within the space formed by the partition 203a, preventing the bagged medications from shifting off the partition 203a due to bumps during transportation on the medication transport vehicle.

[0039] During use, the medical staff will first place the reagent bottled medicines needed for the operation in the receiving groove 201 on the drawer 103. A soft sponge is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove 201, which can be regularly replaced and removed from the surface of the bottom of the receiving groove 201. The soft sponge provides a comfortable fixed environment for the bottom of the medicine, which can prevent the bottom of the medicine from being damaged due to the bumps of the transport vehicle. The fixed protection provided by the protective component 202 helps to maintain the original state of the reagent bottled medicines and prevent the reagent bottled medicines from leaking due to vibration or impact during transportation.

[0040] When medical staff arrange the medicines in order in the receiving groove 201, the fixing belt 202a on the receiving groove 201 will fix the side surface of the reagent bottle medicines. For reagent bottle medicines of different calibers, the telescopic belt 202e is telescoped in the telescopic sleeve 202f. Under the action of the elastic belt, the elastic belt passes through the limit block 202c connected to the limit groove 202b and slides on the surface of the fixing belt 202a. The protection component 202 can adapt to and fix the reagent bottle medicines of different calibers. The design of the telescopic belt 202e allows it to adapt to reagent bottles of different sizes, which increases the versatility and flexibility of the protection component 202, enabling it to handle medicines of various specifications. The receiving groove 201 fixes and protects a reagent bottle medicine separately to prevent collision between two adjacent medicines, thereby improving the safety of the medicines during transportation.

[0041] Medical staff place bagged medications on the dividers 203a of drawer 103. The space between adjacent dividers 203a creates more space within the rocker arm receiving slots 201, allowing for greater storage capacity. Ties 203b secure the bags to the dividers 203a, preventing them from escaping due to the jolting of the transport vehicle. The design of the dividers 203a and receiving slots 201 facilitates medical staff to categorize and store medications according to their type or intended use, facilitating quick location and access during surgery.

[0042] Example 2, reference Figure 1-Figure 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model, is different from the first embodiment in that:

[0043] The self-locking assembly 303 includes a track 303a mounted on the support base 301, a stopper 303b mounted at one end of the track 303a, a slide 303c slidably mounted on the track 303a, a guide block 303d mounted on the slide 303c, a push rod 303e mounted on the slide 303c, and a positioning plate 303f mounted on the track 303a. The guide block 303d is used to position the slide 303c as it slides on the track 303a, preventing it from deviating.

[0044] Compared to Example 1, the self-locking assembly 303 further comprises a lever 303g rotatably disposed on the support base 301, a groove 303h disposed on the slide 303c, a telescopic member 303i disposed directly below the lever 303g, a spring 303j disposed on the telescopic member 303i, and a straight notch 303k disposed on the guide block 303d. The slide 303c sliding on the track 303a presses the telescopic member 303i to cause the lever 303g to slide in the groove 303h. Under the action of the spring 303j of the telescopic member 303i, the lever 303g swings from the lowest point of the groove 303h to the highest point of the groove 303h.

[0045] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 3031 is rotatably mounted on the positioning plate 303f, and a fixing bar 303m is mounted on the rotating shaft 3031. A locking member 303n is mounted on one end of the fixing bar 303m, and a cylinder 303o is mounted on the other end of the fixing bar 303m. The cylinder 303o slides on the straight slot 303k. The positioning plate 303f, rotating shaft 3031, and fixing bar 303m all support the movement of the locking member 303n.

[0046] During use, the medical staff places the medicines needed for the operation in the receiving groove 201 and the partition 203a in the drawer 103, and then closes the drawer 103. When the drawer 103 is closed in the receiving box 102, the bottom of the drawer 103 is equipped with a push rod 303e on the slide 303c, and the push rod 303e drives the slide 303c to slide on the track 303a. When the bottom of the drawer 103 and the push rod 303e do not collide, the lever 303g is at the bottom of the groove 303h of the principle block. When the bottom of the drawer 103 and the push rod 303e collide, the slide 303c is opened. c moves on the track 303a, and one end of the lever 303g in the groove 303h runs from the lowest point to the highest point. The straight slot 303k on the guide block 303d forms a certain angle with the horizontal direction of the guide rail and the slider. The horizontal angle of the end of the straight slot 303k away from the block is lower than the horizontal angle of the other end of the straight slot 303k. When the slider slides away from one side of the block, the cylinder 303o drives the fixing bar 303m to slide from the lowest point of the horizontal angle of the straight slot 303k to the highest point of the horizontal angle. The fixing bar 303m uses the rotating shaft 303l on the positioning plate 303f as a fulcrum to drive the locking piece 303n to swing.

[0047] When the drawer 103 presses the push rod 303e until the lock piece 303n swings to the card slot 302 on the drawer 103, the self-locking of the drawer 103 is achieved. At this time, there is a distance between the drawer 103 and the receiving slot 201 and the splint 101d for unlocking the drawer 103. It is only necessary to press the drawer 103 toward the inside of the receiving box 102. This pressing force must be greater than the touch force accidentally generated by other objects or people. The bottom of the drawer 103 continues to squeeze the push rod 303e. Under the action of the telescopic member 303i and the spring 303j, the lock piece 303n disengages from the card slot 302 on the drawer 103, thereby unlocking the drawer 103, thereby locking the drawer 103 containing medicines during transportation of the transfer vehicle, preventing the medicines from escaping from the drawer 103, and the self-locking mechanism ensures that the drawer 103 will not be accidentally opened during transportation, thereby protecting the medicines from damage or loss.

[0048] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 1.

[0049] Example 3, reference Figure 1-Figure 7 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that: a fixing rod 101a is provided on the support frame 101, a pulley 101b is rotatably provided on the support frame 101, a refrigerating chamber 101c is provided on the storage box 102, and a splint 101d is provided between the refrigerating chamber 101c and the storage box 102. The refrigerating chamber 101c is used to store medicines that need to be refrigerated. The splint 101d is used to separate the refrigerating chamber 101c from the drawer 103. The material of the partition 203a is a heat-insulating material to prevent the refrigerating chamber 101c from absorbing heat or the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 101c from being transferred to the drawer 103 and affecting the medicines.

[0050] Compared to Example 2, a top plate 101e is further provided above the cold storage chamber 101c, on which a support column 101f is provided, and on which a guard bar 101g is provided. The design of the support column 101f and the guard bar 101g facilitates medical personnel to operate the drug transport vehicle.

[0051] A support frame 101h is mounted on top of the top plate 101e. A collection plate 101i is movably mounted on the support frame 101h. The collection plate 101i is equipped with a handle 101j. The collection plate 101i is used to collect residual material from surgical instruments after use. The handle 101j is designed to facilitate pushing and pulling the collection plate 101i out of the support frame 101h.

[0052] A filter plate 101k is movably mounted on the support frame 101h, along with a separator bar 101l. A push handle 101m is mounted on the top plate 101e. Filter plate 101k is provided with holes 101n, which extend throughout the filter plate and are arranged in a linear array. Residual liquid and material from surgical instruments can be channeled through the linear array of holes 101n on filter plate 101k into collection plate 101i, making the collection process more direct and convenient, simplifying cleaning, and reducing the need for manual handling, effectively minimizing the possibility of contamination.

[0053] During use, before preparing for surgery, medical staff will place the instruments to be used at different positions on the filter plate 101k according to the space formed by the dividing strip 101l. The space formed by the dividing strip 101l allows surgical instruments to be placed in an orderly manner, which is convenient for identification and retrieval, while keeping the instruments neat and organized. After the operation is completed, the liquid or other substances remaining on the surgical instruments will flow into the collection plate 101i along the through-type holes 101n arranged in a linear array on the surface of the filter plate 101k. The residual liquid and substances are directly collected through the holes 101n, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning and processing, reduces the need for manual dumping or processing, and reduces the risk of contamination.

[0054] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 2.
