DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the related drawings. The drawings show several embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be realized in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0025] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements can also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements can also be present. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions as used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a test tube placing device for clinical laboratories is shown, which comprises two first connecting members 10 arranged at a distance from each other, and at least two support plates 20 installed between the two first connecting members 10. The two first connecting members 10 and all the support plates 20 cooperatively form a test tube rack structure 100. Each support plate 20 has a first limiting member 21 connected to each end thereof. The first connecting member 10 is provided with a connecting through hole 11, which is adapted to the first limiting member 21, so that the first connecting member 10 and the support plate 20 can be detachable. Each support plate 20 is provided with a connecting member 22 on one side and a second limiting member 23 on the other side. The connecting member 22 is adapted to the second limiting member 23, so that one test tube rack structure 100 can be detached from or spliced with another test tube rack structure 100.

[0028] In order to solve the problem of large volume and space occupation of conventional test tube placing devices in laboratories, and to meet the demand for small-volume test tube racks in outdoor sampling or mobile operations, the test tube placing device of the present application allows medical personnel to easily detach different parts of the test tube rack through simple operation.

[0029] Specifically, the test tube placing device is composed of multiple detachable test tube rack structure 100 units. Each test tube placing device unit is provided with a connecting member 22 on one side, and the corresponding side of the adjacent structure unit is provided with a second limiting member 23 matched therewith. When it is necessary to reduce the space occupation of the test tube rack or facilitate carrying, medical personnel can easily detach the connecting member 22 of one structure unit from the second limiting member 23 of the adjacent structure unit, thereby realizing the detachment between different parts of the test tube rack. In this way, the overall volume of the test tube rack can be significantly reduced, facilitating storage and carrying.

[0030] On the contrary, when it is necessary to expand the capacity of the test tube rack to accommodate more test tubes, medical staff only need to connect the second limiting piece 23 of the new structural unit with the connecting piece 22 of the existing structural unit, so that the increase of the volume of the test tube rack can be easily realized. This design is not only flexible and convenient, but also greatly improves the utilization rate and applicability of the test tube rack.

[0031] In summary, through the ingenious cooperation of the connecting piece 22 and the second limiting piece 23, the detachability between different parts of the test tube rack is realized, thereby effectively reducing the volume during carrying and increasing the convenience of carrying. This innovative design not only solves the shortcomings of the existing test tube rack in terms of portability and space utilization, but also further improves the efficiency and smooth progress of sampling and testing work.

[0032] In view of the convenience requirement of the test tube placing device when long-distance transportation is needed, an innovative disassembly design is further provided. In this scheme, all the first connecting members 10 on both sides of the support plate 20 can be disassembled, so that the entire test tube placing device can be disassembled into multiple independent plate assemblies (including the support plate 20 and the first connecting member 10), thereby greatly simplifying the transportation process.

[0033] In specific operation, the user only needs to easily separate the first limiting piece 21 at both ends of each support plate 20 from the connecting through hole 11 of the corresponding first connecting member 10, so as to complete the disassembly process. This design not only makes the disassembly steps simple and clear, but also ensures that each component can still remain intact after disassembly, facilitating subsequent reassembly and use.

[0034] Through this optimized scheme, the space occupied by the test tube placing device during long-distance transportation is significantly reduced, and the safety and efficiency of transportation are also improved. This innovative design not only meets the special requirements of the test tube placing device in transportation, but also further embodies the careful consideration of the invention in improving user experience and convenience.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 , specifically, the first limiting piece 21 and the second limiting piece 23 are the same structure, both of which include two fixed strips 211 arranged at intervals, and a limiting block 212 arranged in the direction away from each other of the two fixed strips 211.

[0036] Specifically, the connecting through hole 11 includes a communication hole 111 and a limiting hole 112 communicating with the communication hole 111, the size of the limiting hole 112 is larger than that of the communication hole 111, to form a stepped structure, the communication hole 111 is matched with the fixed strip 211 of the first limiting piece 21, and the limiting hole 112 is matched with the limiting block 212 of the first limiting piece 21.

[0037] In order to achieve quick and convenient connection and disassembly of the support plate 20 and the first connecting member 10, an innovative limiting piece design is adopted.

[0038] Disassembly process:

[0039] When it is necessary to separate the first limiting piece 21 from the connecting through hole 11, the user first gently squeezes the two fixed strips 211. This action will cause the fixed strips 211 to move towards each other, thereby driving the limiting blocks 212 to move in the same direction, effectively reducing the overall size of the first limiting piece 21. When the size of the first limiting piece 21 is reduced to be less than or equal to the diameter of the connecting through hole 11, it can easily pass through the connecting through hole 11, achieving disengagement with the connecting through hole 11. This process is not only simple and fast, but also ensures the integrity of the components during disassembly.

[0040] Assembly process:

[0041] When it is necessary to reassemble the support plate 20 and the first connecting member 10, the user first aligns the wedge surface of the limiting block 212 with the connecting through hole 11 of the first connecting member 10, and applies appropriate pressure. This action will cause the corresponding fixed strips 211 of the two limiting blocks 212 to move towards each other again, thereby reducing the overall size of the first limiting piece 21, allowing it to smoothly pass through the connecting through hole 11. Once the first limiting piece 21 passes through the connecting through hole 11 and enters the limiting hole 112 area, the restoring force between the fixed strips 211 will act to push the limiting blocks 212 into the limiting hole 112. At this time, since the overall size of the two limiting blocks 212 is greater than the diameter of the connecting through hole 11, the limiting blocks 212 are firmly limited in the limiting hole 112, thereby completing the assembly process of the support plate 20 and the first connecting member 10.

[0042] This optimized design not only simplifies the connection and disassembly steps, improves the convenience of operation, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the components during the connection process.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 4 to Figure 8 , more specifically, the connecting piece 22 includes a communication groove 221 opened on one side of the support plate 20, two limiting grooves 222 communicated with the communication groove 221, and a driving structure 223 arranged on the side of the limiting groove 222 away from the communication groove 221. The two limiting grooves 222 are arranged on both sides of the communication groove 221, the communication groove 221 is matched with the fixed strips 211 of the second limiting piece 23, the limiting groove 222 is matched with the limiting blocks 212 of the second limiting piece 23, and the driving structure 223 is used to extrude the limiting blocks 212 away from the limiting groove 222.

[0044] More specifically, the driving structure 223 includes a driving rod 2232 arranged on the side of the limiting groove 222 away from the communicating groove 221 through an elastic member 2231, and the driving rod 2232 extends to the outside of the support plate 20 through the top of the limiting groove 222.

[0045] In this embodiment, the elastic member 2231 can be a spring.

[0046] When disassembling two adjacent test tube rack structures 100, the operator squeezes the two driving rods 2232 to make the driving rod 2232 push the limiting block 212 in the second limiting member 23, thereby reducing the distance between the two limiting blocks 212, so that it does not exceed the width of the communicating groove 221. During this process, the elastic member 2231 is stretched. Then, the second limiting member 23 can be smoothly pulled out of the communicating groove 221. After releasing the driving rod 2232, the elastic member 2231 restores the deformation, and the driving limiting block 212 resets.

[0047] When it is necessary to assemble one test tube rack structure 100 to another, first, the second limiting member 23 is aligned with the communicating groove 221. At this time, the edge of the communicating groove 221 will squeeze the wedge surface of the limiting block 212, causing the two limiting blocks 212 (and the fixed strips 211 connected thereto) to approach each other, thereby reducing the overall size of the second limiting member 23, so that it can pass through the communicating groove 221. Once it passes through, the fixed strips 211 cause the limiting blocks 212 to enter the limiting grooves 222 due to their restoring force. At this time, the overall size formed by the two limiting blocks 212 is greater than the diameter of the connecting through hole 11, ensuring that the limiting blocks 212 are firmly fixed in the limiting holes 112, thereby completing the assembly and connection of the two support plates 20, that is, the assembly of one test tube rack structure 100 to another.

[0048] In this embodiment, one of the support plates 20 is arranged at the bottom between two first connecting members 10, and the remaining support plates 20 are arranged above one of the support plates 20 between two first connecting members 10, and a plurality of support holes 24 are formed on the remaining support plates 20, and a weight-reducing hole 25 is formed on one of the support plates 20.

[0049] A reinforcing strip 26 is arranged at the bottom surface of one of the support plates 20, and a support block 27 is arranged at the four corner points of the bottom surface of one of the support plates 20, and the two ends of the support block 27 are connected to two adjacent reinforcing strips 26, respectively.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first connecting member 10 includes a horizontal plate 12 and a vertical plate 13 connected to both ends of the horizontal plate 12, so that the two vertical plates 13 and the horizontal plate 12 form a U-shaped structure. The horizontal plate 12 is connected to one of the support plates 20. The vertical plate 13 is connected to the remaining support plates 20.

[0051] Further, in order to improve the stability of the whole test tube placing device, the test tube placing device further comprises a second connecting member 30 and a third connecting member 40, the second connecting member 30 is also provided with a connecting through hole 11 matched with the first limiting piece 21, and the third connecting member 40 is also provided with a second limiting piece 23 matched with the connecting piece 22, so that the second connecting member 30 and the third connecting member 40 can be installed on both sides of the test tube rack structure 100. Therefore, the four sides of the test tube rack structure 100 are respectively provided with two first connecting members 10, two second connecting members 30 and two third connecting members 40, so as to improve the stability of the whole test tube placing device. The second connecting member 30 and the third connecting member 40 have the same structure as the first connecting member 10, both comprising a horizontal plate 12 and a vertical plate 13.

[0052] In summary, the test tube placing device for clinical laboratories in the above-mentioned embodiments can realize the detachability between different parts of the test tube rack through the ingenious cooperation of the connecting piece 22 and the second limiting piece 23, thereby effectively reducing the volume during carrying and increasing the carrying convenience. This innovative design not only solves the deficiencies of the existing test tube rack in portability and space utilization, but also further improves the efficiency and smoothness of sampling and testing work.
