Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a blood collection tube with a multi-layer structure. Background Technology

[0002] Blood collection tubes are specialized containers used for collecting, storing, and transporting blood samples. They are typically made of medical-grade plastic or glass. They contain anticoagulants or other additives to ensure the stability and accuracy of the blood sample after collection, facilitating subsequent medical testing and diagnosis. They are widely used in clinical diagnostics, laboratory testing, and hemodialysis to collect patient blood samples for further analysis and testing. After blood collection, the normal procedure is to remove the blood collection tube first, followed by the lancet. However, because one hand holds the needle while the other pulls it out, the needle's tail is difficult to manipulate, increasing the risk of injury to patients and medical staff, and potentially causing bloodborne infections. Therefore, it is often the case that the lancet is removed first, followed by the blood collection tube. However, this process can easily introduce air into the blood collection tube, contaminating the sample. Therefore, a multi-layered blood collection tube was designed to address these issues.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-layered blood collection tube, comprising: a cylindrical tube body 1, a cap 2 connected to the upper opening of the tube body 1, a sealing rubber gasket 3 connected inside the cap 2, an upper sleeve 4 threadedly connected to the upper end of the cap 2, a chamber bottom sealing gasket 5 connected inside the upper sleeve 4 and located at the upper end of the cap 2, a rubber protrusion connected in the middle of the chamber bottom sealing gasket 5, and a lower pressure plate 6 connected around the upper surface of the chamber bottom sealing gasket 5 and outside the rubber protrusion. The lower pressure plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper sleeve 4. The lower end of the opening at the upper end of the upper sleeve 4 is connected to the upper chamber sealing gasket 7. The upper sleeve 4 has a ring-shaped array of slots 8 inside. The upper end of the upper sleeve 4 is provided with a blood collection needle tail needle 9. The upper outer side of the blood collection needle tail needle 9 is connected to a positioning plate 10. The slots 8 and the positioning plate 10 are both L-shaped. The slots 8 and the positioning plate 10 are inserted and connected. The upper side of the slot 8 and the upper side of the lower section of the positioning plate 10 are both connected to a triangular bayonet 11.

[0026] When using the needle, insert it into the blood collection site, align the positioning plate 10 with the inside of the slot 8, and insert it through the slot 11. Push it downwards until it reaches the bottom of the slot 8, then rotate it so that the protruding part of the lower section of the positioning plate 10 is inserted into the lower section of the slot 8. During insertion, the needle tail 9 will pass through the upper sealing gasket 7, the lower sealing gasket 5, and the sealing rubber gasket 3 of the chamber until it enters the inside of the tube body 1. At this time, the negative pressure inside the tube body 1 will draw out the blood. After the blood collection is completed, rotate the positioning plate 10 in the opposite direction and pull it upwards. When the two slots 11 are in contact, there will be a certain feeling of sticking. At this time, stop pulling out and remove the needle from the patient's arm. Unscrew the upper sleeve 4, leaving only the tube body 1, the cap 2, and the sealing rubber gasket 3. Discard the rest into the sharps container. When multiple tubes of blood need to be collected, pull upwards forcefully when the two slots 11 are in contact. The slots 11 are triangular in shape, which makes it easy to pull out and insert.

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, a sealing ring is connected around the outer side of the lower opening of the upper sleeve 4.

[0028] Analysis of the above structure shows that the sealing ring connected around the outer side of the lower opening of the upper sleeve 4 can further increase the sealing performance.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, a plastic connecting post is provided at the connection between the upper sleeve layer 4 and the tube cap 2.

[0030] Analysis of the above structure shows that the plastic connecting post at the connection between the upper sleeve 4 and the cap 2 can not only ensure the sealing, but also serve as a reminder that it has not been used.

[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, the outer periphery of both the cap 2 and the upper sleeve 4 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0032] Analysis of the above structure shows that the anti-slip textured pattern on the outer side of the cap 2 and the upper sleeve 4 can provide a certain friction force when the upper sleeve 4 rotates.

[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, the lower part of the slot 8 and the positioning plate 10 are in an overfitting position.

[0034] Analysis of the above structure shows that the lower part of the slot 8 and the positioning plate 10 are in an overfitting position, which allows the slot 8 and the positioning plate 10 to fit more tightly and reduce shaking.

[0035] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, the distance between the lower surface of the sealing rubber pad 3 and the upper surface of the upper sleeve 4 is less than the length of the blood collection needle tail needle 9, and the length of the blood collection needle tail needle 9 is less than the length of the positioning plate 10.

[0036] Analysis of the above structure shows that the distance between the lower surface of the sealing rubber pad 3 and the upper surface of the upper sleeve 4 is less than the length of the blood collection needle tail needle 9. This ensures that the blood collection needle tail needle 9 will penetrate the sealing rubber pad 3 after the positioning plate 10 is inserted into the slot 8. The length of the blood collection needle tail needle 9 is less than the length of the positioning plate 10, which means that when the blood collection needle tail needle 9 is pulled out, the position of the needle will be blocked by the positioning plate 10, reducing the probability of accidental contact.

[0037] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, the upper end sealing gasket 7 of the chamber is provided with a puncture port 21, and the diameter of the puncture port 21 is larger than the diameter of the outer rubber sleeve of the blood collection needle tail 9.

[0038] Analysis of the above structure shows that the puncture port 21 opened in the upper sealing gasket 7 of the chamber can play a positioning role, and at the same time reduce the thickness at this position to facilitate the insertion of the blood collection needle tail needle 9.
