DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0022] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a tumor sample storage device comprising a refrigerator 1 and a lid 2 mounted on top of the refrigerator. The lid 2 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 21 for inserting sample tubes. Each insertion hole 21 is provided with a sealing assembly 3 on one side for sealing the insertion hole 21. When a sample tube is removed from a insertion hole 21, the sealing assembly 3 automatically seals the insertion hole 21. This device effectively prevents cold air from escaping from the refrigerator 1 through the insertion holes 21 after medical personnel remove the sample tubes, thus preventing the temperature inside the refrigerator 1 from rising and facilitating the storage of tumor samples.

[0023] In this embodiment, the refrigerator 1 has a rectangular structure and is equipped with a refrigeration mechanism 5, which cools and cools the interior of the refrigerator 1. The lid 2 is detachably connected to the refrigerator 1. Specifically, hinges 4 are hingedly connected on both sides of the lid 2 along its length. Locking members 11 that engage with the hinges 4 are provided on both sides of the refrigerator 1 along its length, corresponding to the hinges 4. During use, the lid 2 is placed against the top of the refrigerator 1, then the hinges 4 are rotated toward one side of the refrigerator 1. The hinges 4 are provided with a locking hole 41. The locking member 11 is a protrusion protruding from the side of the refrigerator 1. The hinges 4 are flipped so that the locking member 11 passes through the locking hole 41, thereby connecting the lid 2 to the refrigerator 1. Once the lid 2 is securely connected to the refrigerator 1, a sample tube can be inserted through the placement hole 21 on the lid 2. After the sample tube is inserted into the placement hole 21, a retaining groove 12 is provided on the inner surface of the bottom of the refrigerator 1 to prevent it from shaking. The placement hole 21 and the retaining groove 12 provide two-point positional control for the sample tube, ensuring greater stability. To facilitate movement, handles 13 are provided on both sides of the refrigerator 1 along its width. When the refrigerator 1 needs to be moved, medical personnel can grasp the handles 13 for greater convenience.

[0024] Please continue to see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 When medical personnel need to remove a sample tube, the hole 21 must be sealed to prevent cold air from escaping through the storage hole 21. The sealing assembly 3 includes a slide box 31, a hole cover 32, and a telescopic spring 33. The slide box 31 is positioned on the inner surface of the lid 2, on one side of the storage hole 21. The hole cover 32 is slidably connected to the slide box 31 and cannot completely slide out of the slide box 31. One end of the telescopic spring 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the hole cover 32 facing away from the storage hole 21, and the other end of the telescopic spring 33 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide box 31 facing away from the storage hole 21. When a sample tube is inserted into the storage hole 21, the hole cover 32 remains in contact with the side wall of the sample tube under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 33. When the sample tube is removed from the storage hole 21, the hole cover 32 moves away from the slide box 31 under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 33 until the storage hole 21 is sealed.

[0025] In the initial state, i.e., when no sample tube is inserted into the placement hole 21, the elastic force of the telescopic spring 33 pushes the hole cover 32 to close the placement hole 21. When medical personnel need to insert the sample tube into the cold storage box 1, they need to move the hole cover 32 toward the slide box 31 to open the placement hole 21. Since the slide box 31 and the hole cover 32 are both located on the inner surface of the box cover 2, to facilitate the medical personnel to move the hole cover, a push block 321 is provided at the top of the hole cover 32, extending upward through the box cover 2. The box cover 2 is provided with a slide groove 22 for the push block 321 to slide. The push block 321 and the hole cover 32 are integrally formed. When the placement hole 21 needs to be opened, the medical personnel only needs to push the push block 321 in a direction away from the placement hole 21. At this time, the push block 321 slides in the slide groove 22. Since the push block 321 and the hole cover 32 are integrally formed, the movement of the push block 321 also drives the hole cover 32 to move. At this time, the hole cover 32 overcomes the elastic force of the telescopic spring 33 and moves toward the sliding box 31 until the placement hole 21 is opened to allow the sample tube to be inserted.

[0026] After the sample test tube is inserted into the placement hole 21, the sample test tube is pushed until the bottom of the sample test tube is inserted into the limiting groove 12 to loosen the pushing block 321. At this time, the hole cover 32 will move toward the placement hole 21 under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 33 until the hole cover 32 is away from the end of the slide box 31 and abuts against the outer wall of the sample test tube. The hole cover 32 can further fix the position of the sample test tube and facilitate the use of sample test tubes of different diameters. When the outer diameter of the sample test tube is smaller than the outer diameter of the placement hole 21, the sample test tube can be abutted by the hole cover 32 to prevent the sample test tube from loosening. In order to make the abutment between the hole cover 32 and the sample test tube better, in this embodiment, the side of the hole cover 32 close to the placement hole 21 is designed to be an arc shape that matches the outer surface of the sample test tube. Through this design, the contact area of ​​the end of the hole cover 32 away from the sliding box 31 and the sample test tube can be larger, the abutment degree is higher, and it is more stable. At the same time, it can also increase the shielding area of ​​the placement hole 21 to prevent the cold air in the refrigerator from escaping. When medical personnel need to take the sample test tube, they only need to pull the sample test tube out of the placement hole 21. At this time, since the hole cover 32 has no abutment support from the sample test tube, the telescopic spring 33 will push the hole cover 32 in the direction away from the sliding box 31 until the hole cover 32 closes the placement hole 21. After the medical personnel take out the sample test tube, the hole cover 32 automatically closes the placement hole 21, effectively preventing the dissipation of cold air in the refrigerator 1, avoiding the temperature inside the refrigerator 1 from rising, and being more conducive to the storage of tumor samples. It should be noted that the slide groove 22 is arranged on one side of the placement hole 21, but the slide groove 22 and the placement hole 21 are not connected to each other. Therefore, when the hole cover 32 moves to a certain distance, the pushing block 321 will abut against the end of the slide groove 22, so the hole cover 32 cannot be completely separated from the slide box 31.

[0027] To facilitate installation and disassembly, the sliding box 31 is designed to be detachably connected to the box cover 2. In this embodiment, the sliding box 31 is fixed to the inner surface of the box cover 2 by bolts. Specifically, a fixing portion 311 is provided on both sides of the sliding box 31 along its length, and a plurality of bolt holes 3111 are provided in the fixing portion 311. When installation is required, the hole cover 32 is connected to the sliding box 31 via the telescopic spring 33. The hole cover 32 is then attached to the inner wall of the box cover 2 so that the push block 321 is inserted into the slide groove 22. The sliding box 31 is then wrapped around the hole cover 32. Finally, the bolts are inserted into the bolt holes 3111 and locked to the inner surface of the box cover 2. When disassembly is required, the bolts are removed from the bolt holes 3111. Both installation and disassembly are convenient.

[0028] The above are merely examples of the present invention, and the well-known specific structures and characteristics of the scheme are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the present invention.
