Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of reminder devices, specifically to a specimen placement induction reminder device. Background Technology

[0002] In hospital laboratories and related departments, sample receiving windows are often set up for patients to place their specimens for testing. On the one hand, some patients may forget to attach labels with their names or other identification information when placing their specimens due to negligence or lack of understanding of the specific procedures, resulting in unlabeled specimens.

[0003] On the other hand, it is difficult to have staff on-site at the sample window at all times to promptly remind and guide patients to place specimens correctly and ensure proper labeling. Continuously playing prompts through speakers not only causes noise interference but also reduces patient attention, resulting in ineffective prompts. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a specimen placement sensor reminder device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a specimen placement sensor and reminder device to solve the following technical problems:

[0007] A specimen placement sensor reminder device includes a base, and a sample rack is disposed above the base for placing specimen tubes;

[0008] An audio player is installed inside the base, and the speaker of the audio player is located on the front surface of the base for playing reminder audio.

[0009] The upper surface of the base is provided with a row of multiple sensing components. Each sensing component includes a groove and a top cover. The top cover is positioned above the groove. A micro switch is fixedly installed in the center of the groove. When the micro switch is triggered, the audio player plays a reminder audio once.

[0010] Furthermore, the sample holder includes two perforated plates arranged vertically, with each of the four corners of the two perforated plates fixedly connected by support columns, and the perforations of the perforated plates correspond one-to-one with the positions of the sensing components;

[0011] Furthermore, the lower end of the support column extends out of the bottom perforated plate, and the upper end face of the base is provided with insertion holes at the four corners, with the four perforated plates corresponding to the insertion holes one by one.

[0012] Furthermore, the base is equipped with a battery compartment inside, which contains a battery electrically connected to the audio player for powering the audio player.

[0013] Furthermore, a power switch and a volume control knob are provided on the rear end face of the base;

[0014] Furthermore, a plurality of guide posts are fixed to the lower end face of the upper cover, and a plurality of guide sleeves are fixed inside the groove, with the plurality of guide posts and guide sleeves correspondingly slidingly engaged;

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see the appendix Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a specimen placement sensing reminder device in this embodiment of the present invention includes a base 1, and a sample rack 2 is provided above the base 1 for placing specimen tubes.

[0029] An audio player 4 is installed inside the base 1. The speaker of the audio player 4 is located on the front end of the base 1 and is used to play reminder audio. The audio player 4 adopts a structure in the prior art.

[0030] Multiple sensing components 3 are arranged in a row on the upper surface of the base 1. Each sensing component 3 includes a groove 31 and a top cover 35. The top cover 35 is positioned above the groove 31. A micro switch 32 is fixedly installed in the center of the groove 31. When the micro switch 32 is triggered, the audio player 4 plays a reminder audio once. When the specimen tube is placed in the sample holder 2, it will press the sensing component 3, thereby triggering the micro switch 32. The micro switch 32 is electrically connected to the audio player 4. When the micro switch 32 is triggered, the audio player 4 plays a reminder audio once, thereby reminding the patient to print labels or other matters that need attention.

[0031] It should be noted that if other microswitches 32 are triggered before the currently playing reminder audio finishes playing, it will not be replayed to prevent confusion in the reminder sounds. The content of the reminder audio can be set as needed.

[0032] In this embodiment, a battery box 5 is provided inside the base 1, and a battery electrically connected to the audio player 4 is provided inside the battery box 5 for powering the audio player 4.

[0033] The rear end of the base 1 is equipped with a power switch 7 and a volume control knob 8. The power switch 7 is the main power switch for the audio player 4, and the volume control knob 8 is used to adjust the volume of the audio player 4.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of guide posts 36 are fixed on the lower end face of the upper cover 35, and a plurality of guide sleeves 33 are fixed inside the groove 31. The plurality of guide posts 36 and guide sleeves 33 are slidably sleeved in correspondence. A plurality of springs 34 are fixedly connected inside the groove 31. The upper end of the springs 34 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 35. The springs 34 are spaced apart between the plurality of guide sleeves 33. The arrangement of the guide sleeves 33 and guide posts 36 can ensure the stability of the upper cover 35 when it moves up and down. The arrangement of the springs 34 facilitates the upper cover 35 to reset after being pressed, and supports the upper cover 35, so that a certain gap is maintained between the inner top surface of the upper cover 35 and the micro switch 32.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the sample holder 2 includes two perforated plates 22 arranged vertically. The four corners of the two perforated plates 22 are fixedly connected by support columns 21. The holes of the perforated plates 22 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the sensing components 3. When the specimen tube is placed, the specimen tube is inserted into the hole between the upper and lower perforated plates 22. Since the holes of the perforated plates 22 are consistent with the positions of the sensing components 3, it is ensured that the specimen tube can stably contact the sensing components 3 when placed.

[0036] In addition, for ease of use, the lower end of the support column 21 extends out of the bottom perforated plate 22, and the four corners of the upper surface of the base 1 are provided with insertion holes 6. The four perforated plates 22 are inserted into the insertion holes 6 one by one. The sample rack 2 and the base 1 are connected by the support column 21 and the insertion holes 6. The connection is stable and the sample rack 2 can be quickly removed from the base 1 and installed. When transferring the sample tube, there is no need to transfer the base 1 together. Only the empty sample rack 2 needs to be installed. It is convenient, quick and easy to use and highly practical.

[0037] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
