They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0027] This utility model provides a blood collection tube storage rack, including a side frame, a rear frame, and a base. A handle is provided on the side frame. The rack contains several inclined movable shelves, which are fixed by slots on the inner wall of the side frame. Several blood collection tube fixing rings are arranged side-by-side on the movable shelves, each ring having an anti-slip pad inside. A bed number label insert is located at one corner of each movable shelf.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the blood collection tube storage rack provided by this utility model includes a storage rack side frame 1, a storage rack rear frame 2, and a storage rack base 3. The storage rack side frames 1 are located on both sides of the storage rack base 3, and the storage rack rear frame 2 is located between the two storage rack side frames 1. The storage rack side frames 1, storage rack rear frame 2, and storage rack base 3 form a semi-frame structure. Several movable shelves 4 are provided inside the outer frame of the storage rack. Several inclined slots 5 are provided on the inner sides of the storage rack side frames 1 on both sides. The movable shelves 4 are installed inclinedly inside the blood collection tube storage rack through the slots 5. The inclination angle makes it difficult for the blood collection tubes to fall off, and the movable shelves 4 can slide completely outward along the slots 5, making it convenient to remove the entire blood collection tube of a patient for verification. Several blood collection tube fixing rings 7 are arranged side by side on the top of the movable shelves 4. The blood collection tube fixing rings 7 are about 1 cm away from the upper edge of the movable shelves 4, used to fix the bottom of the blood collection tubes without obstructing the barcode area of the blood collection tubes.
[0030] The inner side of the blood collection tube fixing ring 7 is equipped with an anti-slip pad 8 to secure the blood collection tube properly, preventing it from rotating and keeping the barcode facing upwards for easy verification by medical staff. The blood collection tube fixing ring 7 ensures the stability of the blood collection tube during transportation, storage, and testing, preventing it from rolling, slipping, or colliding with each other, thus protecting the sample inside the tube from damage. The blood collection tube fixing ring 7 adopts a ring design, and its size and shape must match the outer diameter of the blood collection tube to ensure a tight fit. The fixing ring material should have a certain degree of elasticity and durability. The anti-slip pad 8 can be made of a high-friction material, such as rubber or silicone, which increases friction with the surface of the blood collection tube, thereby preventing the blood collection tube from sliding or rotating within the fixing ring. This not only improves the stability of the blood collection tube but also ensures that the blood collection tube remains in a consistent position within the fixing ring. A bed number label pocket 9 is provided in the lower left or right corner of the movable shelf 4 for placing a prominent bed number identifier. The bed number label pocket is used to place a prominent bed number identifier, enabling medical staff to quickly and accurately identify the bed information of a specific patient, which is very helpful for rapid response to emergency medical needs and avoiding confusion and errors. A handle 6 is provided at the top of the side frame 1 of the storage rack, making it easy for medical staff to move the entire blood collection tube storage rack to the required location. The empty area reserved on the base 3 of the storage rack provides additional storage space, which can be used to place unused movable shelves 4, as well as blood collection supplies such as needle holders, tourniquets, and blood collection needles. It can make reasonable use of the empty area of the storage rack base, maximize the use of limited space resources, and make the working environment more tidy and orderly.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] When a patient needs a blood sample, after the doctor issues the blood collection order, the medical staff moves the entire blood collection tube storage rack to the nurses' station using the handle 6. After verifying the blood collection order, the medical staff prints a barcode and affixes it to the correct test tube. Then, they remove the movable shelf 4 from the blood collection tube storage rack along the slot 5, inserting the bottom of each blood collection tube into the blood collection tube fixing ring 7 according to the blood color, ensuring the barcode side of each tube faces upwards. Next, they place the patient's bed number label into the bed number tag pocket 9. Finally, they return the movable shelf 4 along with the blood collection tubes to the storage rack along the slot 5. The medical staff can repeat these steps to store blood collection tubes for multiple patients. When another medical staff member is verifying the order, they can remove the movable shelf 4 from one patient's blood collection tubes and quickly check the barcodes of all the tubes.
[0033] Example 3
[0034] Before blood collection, medical staff can place blood collection supplies such as needle holders, tourniquets, and lancets in the empty area on the storage rack base 3. Then, they can carry the blood collection tubes and supplies to the patient's bedside using the handle 6 of the blood collection tube storage rack. They can then retrieve the corresponding movable shelf 4 for that patient using the bed number label on the insert 9 and scan the barcode using a PDA. After blood collection, the nurse can either return the blood collection tubes to the movable shelf 4 or place the unused shelf 4 on top of the storage rack base 3 for later use. The nurse can then move the blood collection tube storage rack to the delivery area using the handle 6.
[0035] Based on the above embodiments, the side frame 1, rear frame 2, and base 3 of the storage rack can be joined by dovetail joints or by snap-fit connections. The dovetail joint structure provides a stable connection and is simple in design, helping to ensure the assembled storage rack is tight, wobble-free, and can be disassembled. Snap-fit connections typically do not require additional tools or fasteners; they can be achieved simply by pressing or rotating.
[0036] The blood collection tube fixing ring 7 and the movable shelf 4 are integrally injection molded or bonded. If stainless steel is used, the blood collection tube fixing ring 7 and the movable shelf 4 are welded.
[0037] In addition, the blood collection tube fixing ring 7 can be made of a transparent elastic retainer. The inner diameter of the retainer is smaller than the outer diameter of the blood collection tube, allowing the blood collection tube to be easily inserted into the elastic retainer without slipping due to its own weight. The transparent material allows the user to directly observe the status of the blood collection tube in the fixing ring and see the barcode information. The elastic retainer adapts well to the blood collection tube; as long as the outer diameter of the blood collection tube is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the retainer, the blood collection tube can be inserted by slightly expanding the retainer. The retainer then returns to its original shape, tightly clamping the blood collection tube to prevent it from slipping. The retainer is elastic, but its restoring force is sufficient to prevent the blood collection tube from slipping due to its own weight when placed vertically or at an angle. The process of inserting and removing the blood collection tube is simple and quick, requiring no complicated operations or tools, which is more user-friendly for medical personnel. Considering the safety and durability of medical products, the transparent elastic retainer can be made of medical-grade TPE, which can withstand common sterilization treatments.
[0038] In summary, this utility model provides a blood collection tube storage rack, including a storage rack side frame, a storage rack rear frame, and a storage rack base. The storage rack side frames are located on both sides of the storage rack base, and the storage rack rear frame is positioned between the two storage rack side frames. The storage rack side frames, storage rack rear frame, and storage rack base form a semi-framed storage space. Several movable shelves are provided inside the storage rack outer frame, and several blood collection tube fixing rings arranged side by side are provided on the movable shelves. This storage rack can independently store blood collection tubes from multiple patients, keeping the barcode facing outwards, avoiding repeated handling by medical staff and laboratory personnel during verification, and thus improving clinical work efficiency.
