Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sample storage devices, and more specifically to a multifunctional sample storage component. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of cryogenic sample storage, the handling of sample tubes relative to storage boxes is frequently involved. During these operations, sample tubes come in various sizes and models, necessitating the replacement of storage boxes when using different sample tubes. This not only increases costs but also complicates the process.

[0003] To address these issues, the conventional solution is to transfer the samples from the original non-standard sample tubes to standard sample tubes, and then store the standard sample tubes in a storage box. However, in practice, users often prefer to store the purchased original non-standard sample tubes directly in the storage box, rather than spending time transferring the samples from the non-standard tubes to the standard sample tubes. This is not only time-consuming but also wasteful of samples, as there is a risk of contamination, moisture absorption, and harm to the health of operators during the transfer process. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the prior art that because sample tubes come in various sizes and models, the storage box needs to be replaced when using different sample tubes, which not only increases costs but also complicates procedures.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a multifunctional sample storage component, including a storage box. The storage box has a receiving cavity with an upper opening. A vertical column is provided in the middle of the receiving cavity. The side peripheral wall of the column is provided with a plurality of first receiving parts. The inner peripheral wall of the storage box is provided with a plurality of second receiving parts. The first receiving parts and the second receiving parts correspond one to one. A partition is detachably connected between the corresponding first receiving parts and the second receiving parts.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the above solution optimizes the structure of the storage box. By providing a vertical column in the middle of the receiving cavity, and setting a first receiving part on the side wall of the column, and a second receiving part on the inner wall of the storage box, the receiving cavity can be divided into several areas of different sizes by selectively setting the partitions between the corresponding first and second receiving parts. The different sized areas can store sample tubes of different specifications and models, effectively improving versatility.

[0007] In an improved embodiment, the top of the column is provided with an identification element, which identifies the relevant information of the storage box, enabling traceability at any time and facilitating subsequent automated storage and retrieval operations.

[0008] In an improved version, the identification element is a QR code.

[0009] In an improved embodiment, both the first receiving part and the second receiving part are slots arranged vertically, and the two sides of the partition can be detachably inserted into the corresponding first receiving part and the second receiving part, thereby making the disassembly and assembly of the partition relative to the first receiving part and the second receiving part simple and convenient.

[0010] In an improved embodiment, there are three first receiving parts evenly spaced around the column, three second receiving parts with their positions on the inner periphery of the storage box corresponding to the first receiving parts, and three partitions with an included angle of 120° between adjacent partitions, thus meeting the specifications of most sample tubes.

[0011] In an improved embodiment, a storage disk is also included, the outer edge of which is provided with a plurality of positioning pins spaced apart circumferentially, and the bottom surface of the storage box is provided with positioning holes for engaging with the positioning pins, so that the storage disk supports and positions the plurality of storage boxes through the positioning pins.

[0012] In an improved embodiment, the positioning hole extends through the receiving cavity, allowing condensate in the receiving cavity to drain out through the positioning hole and facilitating cleaning of the storage box. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a multifunctional sample storage component, including a storage box 1. The storage box 1 has a receiving cavity 11 with an upper opening. A vertical column 2 is provided in the middle of the receiving cavity 11. A plurality of first receiving parts 21 are provided on the side peripheral wall of the column 2. A plurality of second receiving parts 12 are provided on the inner peripheral wall of the storage box 1. The first receiving parts 21 and the second receiving parts 12 correspond one to one. A partition 3 is detachably connected between the corresponding first receiving parts 21 and the second receiving parts 12.

[0024] The above solution optimizes the structure of the storage box 1. By providing a vertical column 2 in the middle of the receiving cavity 11, and providing a first receiving part 21 on the side wall of the column 2, and a second receiving part 12 on the inner wall of the storage box 1, the receiving cavity 11 can be divided into several areas of different sizes by selectively setting the partition 3 between the corresponding first receiving part 21 and second receiving part 12. The different sized areas can store sample tubes of different specifications and models, effectively improving versatility.

[0025] As an optimization of storage box 1, an identification element is provided at the top of the column 2. This element identifies the relevant information of storage box 1, enabling traceability and facilitating subsequent automated storage and retrieval operations. More specifically, in this embodiment, the identification element is a QR code, which provides more information.

[0026] In this embodiment, both the first receiving part 21 and the second receiving part 12 are vertically arranged slots. The two sides of the partition 3 are detachably inserted into the corresponding first receiving part 21 and second receiving part 12, thereby making the assembly and disassembly of the partition 3 relative to the first receiving part 21 and the second receiving part 12 simple and convenient. Of course, the first receiving part 21 and the second receiving part 12 can also be of other forms.

[0027] In this embodiment, there are three first receiving parts 21, evenly spaced around the column 2. There are also three second receiving parts 12, with their positions on the inner periphery of the storage box 1 corresponding to the first receiving parts 21. There are three partitions 3, with an included angle of 120° between adjacent partitions 3, thus accommodating most sample tube specifications. It should be understood that the three partitions 3 are optional; that is, only one, two, or all three partitions can be used. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the number and position of the first receiving parts 21 and the second receiving parts 12 can be changed, depending on the user's needs.

[0028] In this embodiment, the multifunctional sample storage assembly further includes a storage tray 4. The outer edge of the storage tray 4 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced positioning pins 41. The bottom surface of the storage box 1 is provided with positioning holes 13 for engaging with the positioning pins 41, thereby enabling the storage tray 4 to support and position the plurality of storage boxes 1 via the positioning pins 41. Furthermore, the positioning holes 13 extend into the receiving cavity 11, allowing condensate water in the receiving cavity 11 to drain through the positioning holes 13 and facilitating the cleaning of the storage boxes 1.
