Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a medical tray. Background Technology
[0002] In modern healthcare systems, medical trains play a vital role, enabling rapid response and providing essential medical support in emergency medical rescue and patient transport scenarios. Medical trays, as indispensable medical equipment on these trains, serve to transport and temporarily store various medical supplies such as medicines and instruments.
[0003] The interior space of a medical train is relatively limited, yet it needs to accommodate numerous medical personnel, patients, and various medical equipment and supplies. In such a densely populated and frequently moving environment, the use of medical trays faces many challenges. With a large number of medical staff, stretcher bearers, and family members of the injured moving about the carriages, they often cannot constantly keep an eye on the medical trays placed around them while performing their duties or moving around. This makes medical trays extremely vulnerable to accidental collisions. Once a collision occurs, traditional medical trays, lacking effective securing measures, will inevitably fall. During the fall, not only may the tray itself break upon impact with the ground or carriage walls, rendering it unusable and increasing the cost of medical supplies, but the medicines it carries may also break or spill, and valuable medical equipment may be damaged. This directly affects the smooth progress of medical work and delays the treatment of the injured and patients.
[0004] Meanwhile, the medical train needs to start and stop frequently during operation. Because the train accelerates forward when starting and backward when stopping, the trays will move due to inertia. When the train starts, the trays may slide towards the rear of the train; when the train stops, the trays may slide towards the front. This movement due to inertia makes it difficult for the trays to maintain a stable position within the carriage. On the one hand, this may cause medical supplies inside the trays to shift, become disordered, or even fall, resulting in damage and waste. On the other hand, moving trays may also obstruct the normal passage of medical personnel, and in emergencies, may even trip medical personnel or injured patients, posing a threat to personnel safety and seriously disrupting the orderly and efficient operation of medical rescue work on the medical train.
[0005] In conclusion, given the unique operating environment of medical trains and the practical problems faced by medical trays, there is an urgent need to design a medical tray that can be stably placed on medical trains and effectively overcome the problems of collisions, falls, and inertial movement, so as to ensure the safe and efficient conduct of medical work. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, this utility model discloses a medical tray.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A medical tray includes a tray and a fixing component. The tray is made of magnetic metal, and the fixing component includes a magnet and a suction cup. The magnet is fixed to the upper end of the suction cup, and the fixing component is magnetically fixed to the tray by the magnet or by negative pressure adsorption of the tray by the suction cup.
[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the tray has a magnet receiving groove for accommodating the magnet.
[0010] Furthermore, each magnet receiving slot has four slots, and the four magnet receiving slots are arranged in a rectangular shape.
[0011] Furthermore, the tray has an outwardly protruding handle on its side.
[0012] Furthermore, the corners of the tray are all rounded.
[0013] Furthermore, the tray is a one-piece structure.
[0014] Furthermore, a through groove is formed in the middle of the magnet;
[0015] The upper end of the suction cup is fixedly connected to a connector that passes through the through groove. The upper end of the connector has a limiting member, which cooperates with the suction cup to prevent the magnet from detaching from the connector.
[0016] Furthermore, the upper end of the magnet has a limiting groove communicating with the through groove, and the limiting member is located in the limiting groove.
[0017] Furthermore, the upper end of the limiting member has a buffer pad covering the upper end of the magnet.
[0018] Furthermore, the suction cup, connector, limiting member, and buffer pad are integrated into one structure.
[0019] This utility model discloses a medical tray that significantly improves stability in the environment of a medical train by providing two complementary fixing methods. When a magnetically adsorbable metal surface is available, the tray can be fixed to the metal surface by suction cups adsorbing against the bottom of the tray under negative pressure, and magnets adsorbing against the metal. When no magnetically adsorbable metal surface is available, the tray can be fixed to the smooth surface by magnets adsorbing within the receiving groove, and suction cups adsorbing against the smooth surface under negative pressure. Regardless of the bumps and vibrations during train operation, the strong inertial forces at start and stop, or the collision forces that may arise from frequent personnel movement, the tray maintains a stable position, greatly reducing the possibility of the tray falling or shifting. This ensures the safe storage and transportation of medical supplies within the tray, guarantees uninterrupted and orderly medical work, reduces medical errors and item damage caused by tray instability, and improves the reliability and safety of medical services on the medical train.

[0028] Tray 1, magnet receiving slot 11, handle 12, fastener 2, magnet 21, through slot 211, limiting slot 212, suction cup 22, connector 221, limiting component 222, buffer pad 223. Detailed Implementation
[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, the medical tray in this embodiment mainly consists of a tray 1 and a fixing member 2, which aims to solve the problems of the tray being easily dropped by collisions and moving due to the inertia of the train's start and stop on the medical train.
[0031] In this embodiment, the tray 1 is made of magnetic metal. This material is chosen because it can attract magnets in the fixing components while also possessing sufficient strength and durability to adapt to the complex operating environment of the medical train. The lower end of the tray 1 has four rectangular magnet receiving slots 11. This layout ensures even force distribution when the tray is engaged with the fixing components, providing a stable fixation effect. The sides of the tray 1 protrude outwards to form handles 12. The handles 12 are ergonomically designed for comfortable and convenient gripping by medical personnel when handling the tray. Their shape and size have been tested and optimized multiple times to ensure sufficient gripping space without causing excessive obstruction during train movement or personnel movement. All corners of the tray 1 are rounded to avoid the risk of scratches caused by sharp edges during frequent contact with the tray. In addition, the pallet 1 adopts an integrated structural design. The one-piece molding process helps to improve the overall structural strength of the pallet and reduce problems such as loosening or breakage that may occur due to splicing or connection parts, thereby extending the service life of the pallet and reducing maintenance costs during frequent transportation and use of the sanitary train.
[0032] In this embodiment, the fixing member 2 consists of a magnet 21 and a suction cup 22. The magnet 21 is fixedly attached to the upper end of the suction cup 22. A through groove 211 is provided in the middle of the magnet 21, which provides space for the subsequent installation of the connecting member 221. A connecting member 221 that passes through the through groove 211 is fixedly attached to the upper end of the suction cup 22. The upper end of the connecting member 221 has a limiting member 222. This engagement method limits the possibility of the magnet 21 detaching from the connecting member 221, ensuring the integrity and stability of the fixing member structure. The upper end of the limiting member 222 also has a buffer pad 223 covering the upper end of the magnet 21. The buffer pad 223 is made of a material with certain elasticity and cushioning properties, such as rubber or silicone. Its function is to buffer the impact force that may be generated by collision or vibration when the tray is magnetically fixed to the fixing member, protecting the magnet 21 and the tray itself from damage. Meanwhile, the suction cup 22, connector 221, limiter 222 and buffer pad 223 adopt an integrated structure design, which improves the overall reliability and stability of the fastener and enables it to play a better role in the bumpy operation environment of the sanitary train.
[0033] In this embodiment, the fixing component 2 has two flexible fixing methods, which can be selected according to the actual usage scenario inside the sanitary train. When there is a magnetically adsorbable metal surface nearby, such as certain metal structural components or specific metal shelves in the train carriage, the suction cup 22 of the fixing component 2 can be negatively adsorbed onto the bottom of the tray 1, and then magnetically fixed to the metal surface by the magnet 21. When there is no magnetically adsorbable metal surface nearby, such as near some non-metallic tabletops or walls, the suction cup 22 can be used for negative pressure adsorption fixing. Specifically, the magnet 21 of the fixing component 2 is aligned with the magnet receiving groove 11 of the tray 1, so that the magnet 21 is firmly adsorbed in the groove, and then the suction cup 22 is pressed onto a smooth and flat surface. The air inside the suction cup 22 is expelled by the pressing action, thereby forming a negative pressure between the suction cup 22 and the surface. The tray is firmly fixed by the adsorption force generated by this negative pressure. In the actual use of the sanitary train, these two fixing methods complement each other, greatly improving the applicability and stability of the tray in different environments, and effectively solving the collision and inertia problems caused by train operation.
[0034] When using this medical tray on a medical train, the method of fixing the fastener 2 should first be determined according to the placement environment.
[0035] If there are magnetically attractive metal surfaces nearby, such as metal support structures or metal storage shelves inside train carriages:
[0036] First, attach the suction cup 22 of the fixing part 2 tightly to the bottom of the tray 1. By pressing the suction cup 22, the air between it and the tray 1 is expelled, so that the suction cup 22 and the tray 1 form a negative pressure adsorption and fixation.
[0037] Then, the tray 1 with suction cup 22 is moved to the vicinity of the metal surface, so that the magnet 21 of the fixing member 2 comes into contact with the metal surface. The magnetic attraction between the magnet 21 and the metal is used to firmly fix the tray 1 to the metal surface. This fixing method can prevent the tray 1 from shifting or falling off due to vibration, collision or starting and stopping inertia during train operation.
[0038] If there are no magnetic metal surfaces nearby, such as non-metallic tabletops or vehicle walls:
[0039] First, accurately align the magnet 21 of the fastener 2 with the magnet receiving groove 11 of the tray 1 and place it therein, so that the magnet 21 is tightly attracted in the groove, thus realizing the initial connection between the tray 1 and the fastener 2.
[0040] Next, the suction cup 22 is pressed steadily onto the selected smooth, flat surface. During the pressing process, the air inside the suction cup 22 is gradually expelled, creating a negative pressure between the suction cup 22 and the surface. This negative pressure creates an adhesive force that firmly fixes the tray 1 to the surface. This fixing method effectively solves the instability problem of the tray 1 caused by train operation, even in environments without magnetically adsorbable metal surfaces, ensuring the safety of the tray 1 and the medical supplies inside.
[0041] When medical staff move or operate tray 1, they can pick it up using the handle 12 on the side of tray 1. The handle 12 is ergonomically designed, allowing medical staff to grip it comfortably and stably. In environments with train swaying or frequent foot traffic, it also reduces the risk of accidents caused by difficulty in picking it up. During operation, because tray 1 is stably fixed by the fixing component 2, it can remain in a fixed position regardless of the inertia of the train starting and stopping or external forces such as collisions, effectively preventing the tray from falling and breaking or items from spilling.
[0042] In summary, this utility model's medical tray demonstrates outstanding practicality and adaptability in the unique medical environment of a medical train. Through its unique tray and fixing component design, along with flexible and diverse fixing methods, it effectively solves the problems of trays easily falling or shifting due to factors such as high personnel flow and the inertia of train starts and stops. It not only effectively ensures the safety and integrity of medical supplies and reduces the risk of medical accidents caused by tray instability, but also greatly improves the work efficiency and operational convenience of medical personnel on medical trains. In the future field of medical rescue transportation, this medical tray is expected to become an indispensable key medical instrument, providing more reliable and efficient support and protection for the treatment and transfer of the injured and sick. It also provides valuable insights for the research and development of related medical equipment, promoting the development of the entire medical service system on medical trains towards a more complete and advanced direction.

Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
