Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reagent storage technology, and in particular to a reagent kit. Background Technology

[0002] Reagent kits are boxes used to store chemical components and reagents, and are generally used in hospitals, school laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies. Laboratories often have many opened but unused reagents, and because reagents are hygroscopic and volatile, their storage requires relatively stringent conditions.

[0003] Existing technologies offer some degree of moisture protection, which can be categorized into internal and external moisture protection. Most existing technologies focus on internal moisture protection, which is complex in structure, difficult to disassemble, and inconvenient for replacing moisture-proof items. Changes in the external environment can also easily affect the reagents inside the kit, making it difficult to ensure proper sealing. Furthermore, the volatility of reagents can cause changes in the air pressure inside the kit, making it difficult to adjust the internal air pressure while ensuring proper sealing. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a reagent kit with good sealing performance and the ability to balance internal and external air pressure.

[0005] This utility model provides a reagent kit, comprising: a reagent kit shell, a venting element, a reagent rack, and a venting valve, including a box body with an internal space and a cover disposed in the box body for sealing the internal space; the venting element is fixedly installed inside the box body to divide the internal space of the box body into an interconnected storage cavity and an absorbent cavity; the reagent rack is movably disposed in the storage cavity; the venting valve is disposed on the box body and communicates with the absorbent cavity.

[0006] This design utilizes a vent valve to release the air pressure inside the absorbent chamber when it reaches a certain level, thereby balancing the internal air pressure. Furthermore, the lid can open most of the space inside the box, making it easier to place and retrieve reagents. This design not only provides a seal but also balances the air pressure outside the reagent kit shell, reducing the impact of the external environment on the internal environment of the reagent kit shell, and also minimizing the impact of the reagent kit's own characteristics on the internal environment of the reagent kit shell.

[0007] In one embodiment, the cover includes a sealing assembly and an opening / closing cover, the sealing assembly being detachably disposed on the box to seal the absorbent cavity; the opening / closing cover being rotatably connected to the box to seal the storage cavity.

[0008] This design allows for the sealing of the absorbent chamber and the storage chamber using a capping assembly and an opening / closing cap, respectively, making it convenient to store or retrieve items in each chamber. For example, the absorbent chamber facilitates the replacement of absorbent items, while the storage chamber facilitates the retrieval of reagent racks.

[0009] In one embodiment, the cover assembly includes: a back plate, a protrusion, and one or more fastening screws; the back plate covers the water absorption chamber; the protrusion is disposed on the side of the back plate near the water absorption chamber, and the protrusion engages with the side wall of the water absorption chamber; the protrusion is integrally formed with the back plate; all the fastening screws pass through the back plate and are threadedly connected to the box body; in this embodiment, there are six fastening screws arranged around the edge of the back plate.

[0010] This design, by using the protrusion to engage with the side wall of the water absorption chamber, seals the water absorption chamber. Furthermore, the six fastening screws at different positions increase the sealing strength, thereby further enhancing the sealing performance.

[0011] In one embodiment, the opening and closing cover includes: a cover plate, a light-transmitting element, a snap-fit ​​structure, a first sealing strip, and a second sealing strip. The cover plate is rotatably connected to the box body to cover the two sides, front, and top of the storage cavity. The light-transmitting element is fixedly installed on the cover plate and located directly above the reagent rack. The snap-fit ​​structure is disposed on the cover plate and snaps into the box body. The first sealing strip is installed on the box body and abuts against the rotating position of the cover plate. The second sealing strip is installed on the box body and located at the closed position of the cover plate, abutting against the cover plate.

[0012] This design allows the cover plate to seal the two sides, front, and top of the storage cavity, ensuring that only the bottom wall remains when the cover plate is open. This facilitates the placement and storage of the reagent rack. Furthermore, a first sealing strip and a second sealing strip are provided at the rotating position of the cover plate and at the contact point between the cover plate and the box body, further enhancing the sealing performance and preventing the external environment from affecting the internal environment of the reagent kit. Additionally, the light-transmitting element allows observation of the inside of the storage cavity, facilitating staff observation.

[0013] In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​component and a button. A hidden groove is provided in the cover plate, and a snap-fit ​​groove is provided in the box body. The hidden groove and the snap-fit ​​groove are connected. One end of the snap-fit ​​component is fixedly installed in the hidden groove and snaps into the side wall of the snap-fit ​​groove. The button is slidably installed on the cover plate and is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​component.

[0014] This design, by using a hidden slot to place the snap-fit ​​component inside and pressing it with a button, ensures a complete seal and enhances the overall aesthetics, avoiding the need for complex external locking structures.

[0015] In one embodiment, the reagent rack includes: a support frame placed inside the storage cavity; the support frame has multiple placement slots; and the bottom of all the placement slots has a notch.

[0016] This design allows for easy placement of test tubes with curved bottoms by creating a notch at the bottom of each placement slot. If a test tube is damaged, the contents inside can fall through the notch, preventing them from remaining on the reagent rack and causing other problems.

[0017] In one embodiment, all the placement slots form multiple placement rows and multiple placement columns, and the reagent rack further includes: a set of first labels corresponding one-to-one with all the placement slots in a certain placement row and a set of second labels corresponding one-to-one with all the placement slots in a certain placement column, wherein the first labels are sequentially increasing numbers and the second labels are sequentially increasing English letters.

[0018] This setup, by dividing all the placement slots on the reagent rack into rows and columns and marking them with different numbers, allows staff to quickly identify the reagents, increasing their work efficiency, reducing unnecessary time waste, and further minimizing the external environment's contact with the internal environment of the box after the lid is opened.

[0019] In one embodiment, the reagent kit housing further includes a slide rail disposed on the box body and located at the bottom of the storage cavity, and the bottom of the support frame is provided with a groove that slides and engages with the slide rail.

[0020] This design allows the slide rails to slide in conjunction with the grooves, making it easy to place and remove the reagent rack as a drawer, thus improving comfort and convenience.

[0021] In one embodiment, the reagent kit housing further includes an absorbent element housed within the absorbent cavity, which changes color after absorbing moisture.

[0022] In one embodiment, the reagent kit shell further includes a light-transmitting element, and a through groove is provided on the side wall of the absorbent cavity, with the light-transmitting element fixedly installed on the through groove.

[0023] This design allows the light-transmitting element to be used to observe the degree of color change of the absorbent component inside the absorbent chamber, making it easier for staff to observe whether the absorbent component needs to be replaced.

[0024] Therefore, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0025] 1. According to the reagent kit of this utility model, the air pressure in the absorbent chamber is discharged when it reaches a certain intensity by using a vent valve, thereby balancing the internal air pressure. The cover can open most of the space of the box, making it more convenient to take out and put in the reagent rack. While achieving sealing, it can also balance the air pressure outside the inner reagent kit shell, reducing the influence of the external environment on the internal environment of the reagent kit shell, and at the same time reducing the influence of its own characteristics on the internal environment of the reagent kit shell.

[0026] 2. According to the reagent kit of this utility model, the cover plate can seal the two sides, front and top of the storage cavity, so that when the cover plate is opened, only the bottom wall of the storage cavity exists, which facilitates the storage and placement of the reagent rack. Furthermore, a first sealing strip and a second sealing strip are respectively provided at the rotating position of the cover plate and the contact position between the cover plate and the box body, thereby further enhancing the sealing performance and further preventing the influence of the external environment on the internal environment of the reagent kit shell. Moreover, the light-transmitting element allows the inside of the storage cavity to be observed, which is convenient for staff to observe. Attached Figure Description

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0044] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0045] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited.

[0047] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0048] See Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a reagent kit, including a reagent kit shell 10, a breathable component 30, a reagent rack 40, and a breathable valve 50. It includes a box body 11 with an internal space and a cover 12 disposed on the box body 11 for sealing the internal space. The breathable component 30 is fixedly installed inside the box body 11 to divide the internal space of the box body 11 into an interconnected storage cavity 31 and an absorbent cavity 32. The reagent rack 40 is movably disposed in the storage cavity 31. The breathable valve 50 is disposed on the box body 11 and communicates with the absorbent cavity 32.

[0049] It is understandable that by using the vent valve 50 to discharge the air pressure in the absorbent chamber 32 when it reaches a certain intensity, the internal air pressure is balanced. Furthermore, the cover 12 can open most of the space in the box 11, making it more convenient to take out and put in the reagent rack 40. While achieving a seal, it can also balance the air pressure outside the inner reagent kit shell 10, reducing the impact of the external environment on the internal environment of the reagent kit shell 10, and at the same time reducing the impact of its own characteristics on the internal environment of the reagent kit shell 10.

[0050] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, the cover 12 includes a sealing assembly 122 and an opening and closing cover 121. The sealing assembly 122 is detachably disposed on the box body 11 to seal the water absorption chamber 32; the opening and closing cover 121 is rotatably connected to the box body 11 to seal the storage chamber 31.

[0051] It is understandable that by using the capping assembly 122 and the opening and closing cap 121 to seal the water absorption chamber 32 and the storage chamber 31 respectively, it is convenient to store or take out items in each chamber. For example, the water absorption chamber 32 is convenient for replacing water-absorbing items, and the storage chamber 31 is convenient for taking out the reagent rack 40.

[0052] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, the capping assembly 122 includes: a back plate 1221, a protrusion 1222, and one or more fastening screws 1223. The back plate 1221 caps the water absorption chamber 32. The protrusion 1222 is located on the side of the back plate 1221 near the water absorption chamber 32, and the protrusion 1222 is engaged with the side wall of the water absorption chamber 32. The protrusion 1222 is integrally formed with the back plate 1221. All the fastening screws 1223 pass through the back plate 1221 and are threadedly connected to the box body 11. In this solution, there are six fastening screws 1223, which are arranged around the edge of the back plate 1221.

[0053] It is understandable that by using the protrusion 1222 to engage with the side wall of the water absorption chamber 32, the water absorption chamber 32 is sealed, and the sealing strength is further enhanced by using six fastening screws 1223 from different positions.

[0054] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, the opening and closing cover 121 includes: a cover plate 1211, a light-transmitting element 1212, a snap-fit ​​structure 100, a first sealing strip 70, and a second sealing strip 80. The cover plate 1211 is rotatably connected to the box body 11 to seal the two sides, front, and top of the storage cavity 31. The light-transmitting element 1212 is fixedly installed on the cover plate 1211 and located directly above the reagent rack 40. The snap-fit ​​structure 100 is disposed on the cover plate 1211 and snaps into the box body 11. The first sealing strip 70 is installed on the box body 11 and abuts against the rotating position of the cover plate 1211. The second sealing strip 80 is installed on the box body 11 and located at the closed position of the cover plate 1211, abutting against the cover plate 1211.

[0055] Understandably, by using the cover plate 1211 to seal the two sides, front and top of the storage cavity 31, the storage cavity 31 will only have a bottom wall after the cover plate 1211 is opened, which facilitates the storage and placement of the reagent rack 40. Furthermore, a first sealing strip 70 and a second sealing strip 80 are respectively provided at the rotation position of the cover plate 1211 and at the contact position between the cover plate 1211 and the box body 11, thereby further enhancing the sealing performance and further preventing the external environment from affecting the internal environment of the reagent kit shell 10. Moreover, the interior of the storage cavity 31 can be observed using the light-transmitting element 1212, which is convenient for staff to observe.

[0056] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 100 includes: a snap-fit ​​member 102 and a button 101. A hidden groove 103 is provided in the cover plate 1211, and a snap-fit ​​groove 104 is provided in the box body 11. The hidden groove 103 and the snap-fit ​​groove 104 are connected. One end of the snap-fit ​​member 102 is fixedly installed in the hidden groove 103 and snaps against the side wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 104. The button 101 is slidably installed on the cover plate 1211 and is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​member 102.

[0057] Understandably, by using the hidden slot 103 to place the snap-fit ​​102 inside and pressing it with the button 101, the overall seal is guaranteed, the overall appearance is improved, and the complex locking structure of the external design is avoided.

[0058] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, the reagent rack 40 includes: a support frame 41, which is placed in the storage cavity 31; the support frame 41 has multiple placement slots 42; and the bottom of all placement slots 42 has a notch 43.

[0059] Understandably, by opening a notch 43 at the bottom of each placement slot 42 to facilitate the placement of test tubes with curved bottoms, when a test tube is damaged, the contents of the test tube can fall through the notch 43, preventing it from remaining on the reagent rack 40 and causing other effects.

[0060] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, all the placement slots 42 form multiple placement rows and multiple placement columns. The reagent rack 40 also includes: a set of first labels corresponding one-to-one with all the placement slots 42 in a certain placement row and a set of second labels corresponding one-to-one with all the placement slots 42 in a certain placement column, wherein the first labels are numbers that increase sequentially and the second labels are letters that increase sequentially.

[0061] Understandably, by dividing all the placement slots 42 on the reagent rack 40 into rows and columns and marking them with different numbers, it is possible for staff to quickly identify them, increase staff efficiency, reduce unnecessary time waste, and further reduce excessive contact between the external environment and the internal environment of the box 11 after the cover 12 is opened.

[0062] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, the reagent kit shell 10 also includes a slide rail 90 disposed on the box body 11 and located at the bottom of the storage cavity 31, and the bottom of the support frame 41 is provided with a groove 44 that slides and engages with the slide rail 90.

[0063] Understandably, by using the slide rail 90 to cooperate with the groove 44 to slide the support frame 41, it is convenient to take the reagent rack 40 out and put it in the form of a drawer, thereby improving the comfort and convenience of use.

[0064] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, the reagent kit casing 10 also includes a water-absorbing element housed within the water-absorbing cavity 32, which changes color after absorbing moisture.

[0065] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, the reagent kit shell 10 also includes a light-transmitting element, and a through groove is provided on the side wall of the water absorption cavity 32, with the light-transmitting element fixedly installed on the through groove.

[0066] Understandably, the light-transmitting element allows for observation of the degree of discoloration of the absorbent component inside the absorbent chamber 32, thus facilitating staff to observe whether the absorbent component needs to be replaced.

[0067] The working principle of this reagent kit is as follows: Pressing button 101 causes the latching element 102 to disengage from the wall of the latching groove 104, allowing the cover 1211 to open. This opens the two sides, top, and front of the storage cavity 31, allowing the retrieval support 41 to be retrieved or the test tubes to be stored to be placed into the placement slot 42. Then, the cover 1211 is closed, and the latching element 102 engages with the wall of the latching groove 104. When a significant discoloration of the absorbent element is observed through the light-transmitting element, it is determined that the absorbent element needs to be replaced. When the time is right, unscrew all the fastening screws 1223, remove the back plate 1221, and the protrusion 1222 will no longer be engaged with the wall of the water absorption chamber 32. After the replacement is completed, the protrusion 1222 will be engaged with the wall of the water absorption chamber 32. Then, screw all the fastening screws 1223 back on. When the contents of the test tube evaporate, the air in the storage chamber 31 will flow into the water absorption chamber 32. The water will be absorbed by the water absorption component, and when the air pressure increases to a certain level, a portion of it will be discharged by the vent valve 50 until the increased air pressure is discharged.

[0068] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0069] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
