Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical testing, specifically a test tube rack for hospital laboratory departments. Background Technology

[0002] Medical laboratory science (MLS) is a science that examines materials taken from the human body using microbiological, immunological, biochemical, genetic, hematological, biophysical, and cytological methods to provide information for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases and the assessment of human health.

[0003] In hospital laboratories, test tubes are typically used to collect bodily fluids from patients. Multiple test tubes require centralized storage. A test tube rack for laboratories, such as the one described in patent publication number CN214863809U, utilizes springs, a protruding rod, a sliding rod, and an adjustable plate. When placing longer test tubes, the protruding rod is first pushed inwards to retract, the adjustable plate is pulled upwards, and the spring pushes the protruding rod outwards to fix the sliding rod. This allows the height of the test tube rack to be adjusted to accommodate test tubes of different lengths, improving its applicability and ease of adjustment.

[0004] However, due to the lack of an upper limit switch, the device is at risk of sliding upwards, resulting in poor reliability. Utility Model Content

The rear side of the top of the box body is movably connected to the rear end of the top cover via hinges. The front sides of the left and right ends of the top cover are respectively connected to the inner side of a set of connecting frames. The lower outer side of each set of connecting frames is movably connected to the upper inner side of a set of closing pieces via a set of two hinges. A set of pressing pieces is movably connected to the front and rear sides of the interior of each set of closing pieces, and a spring is connected between the two sets of pressing pieces. The outer sides of the two sets of pressing pieces are respectively connected to the inner side of a set of locking pins.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a test tube rack for hospital laboratories, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] When the top cover is open, individual test tubes can be placed inside the chamber via multiple limiting slots in the middle plate. After the top cover is closed, the two sets of closing plates are flipped downwards by the hinges and the connecting frame. Pressing the two sets of pressing plates overcomes the spring force, causing the locking pins to move inwards and fit the closing plates into the slot frame. Then, the pressing plates are released, and the spring elasticity causes the locking pins to move outwards, thus closing and fixing the closing plates to the slot frame. This design allows the top cover to be closed and limit the upper side of the test tubes. The chamber structure is designed to lock, preventing the test tubes from sliding upwards after insertion and improving reliability. Attached Figure Description
