[0045] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are examples for explaining the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
[0046] In this document, relational terms such as first and second and the like can be used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. The terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0047] As described in the background, for the special storage of reagents or detection samples, the detection reagents or detection samples are usually contained by test tubes, and in the design of most current medicine storage boxes, the test tubes containing reagents or detection samples are usually mixedly stored with other types of medicines, increasing the risk of breakage of test tubes due to collision.
[0048] Embodiment 1:
[0049] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art, the embodiment provides a medicine storage mechanism, as shown in Figure 1 The medicine storage mechanism comprises:
[0050] A box body 10, a storage cavity 13 and a test tube rack slot 12 are arranged in the box body, and the storage cavity is used to limit the storage of medicines;
[0051] A box cover 20, the box cover is movably connected with the box body, and the box cover is relatively fixed with the box body by a lock catch;
[0052] A test tube rack 30, the test tube rack 30 is arranged in the test tube rack slot, and the test tube rack is relatively slidably connected with the box body, and the test tube rack is in and out of the test tube rack slot by linear sliding of the test tube rack;
[0053] As shown in Figure 3 , 4 , 6, the test tube rack has a side test tube slot 31 for accommodating the side surface of a test tube, a bottom test tube slot 34 below the side test tube slot for accommodating the bottom of the test tube, and a top test tube slot 35 above the side test tube slot for accommodating the top of the test tube, and a floating plate 37 is arranged in the bottom test tube slot and connected with the bottom of the bottom test tube slot by a first elastic member 33.
[0054] In the embodiment, common medicines can be placed in the storage cavity, and test tubes containing reagents or samples are placed in the test tube grooves formed by the bottom test tube groove, the side test tube groove and the top test tube groove, so that the test tubes are separated. When the test tubes are placed, the bottom of the test tube is inserted into the bottom test tube groove, the test tube presses the floating plate to a certain height, and then the test tube is slowly released. Under the action of the floating plate, the test tube rises, so that the top of the test tube is sent into the top test tube groove, the test tube is fixed, and the shaking degree of the test tube during the storage and transportation of the storage mechanism is reduced.
[0055] As shown in Figure 2 , the test tube rack can be provided with a sliding block 32 protruding outward on the side of the test tube rack. A limiting groove matched with the sliding block can be arranged in the test tube rack groove. A guide rod which can be slidably matched with the sliding block is fixed in the limiting groove. The movement of the test tube rack is guided by the guide rod. When the test tube rack moves out of the test tube rack groove, the sliding block and the top end of the limiting groove form an interface or a mechanical stop to prevent the test tube rack from continuing to move out of the test tube rack groove.
[0056] As shown in , the test tube groove can be arranged on one side or on both sides.
[0057] In the embodiment, the first elastic member is a spring.
[0058] Figure 5 As shown in , a flexible pad 36 can be arranged in the top test tube groove.
[0059] The flexible pad protects the top of the test tube, so that the test tube is not quickly lifted by the floating plate when the test tube is released, and the test tube is not broken by colliding with the top of the top test tube groove.
[0060] In the embodiment, the flexible pad can be a protective pad made of flexible materials such as rubber pads and sponge pads.
[0061] Through the embodiment, the test tube is prevented from colliding and the probability of damage to the test tube is reduced. In addition, the reagent or the medicine is placed separately from other medicines, so that even if the test tube is broken, the other medicines are not contaminated.
[0062] Embodiment 2:
[0063] Figure 2 In order to fix the test tube rack when the test tube rack completely enters the test tube rack groove, the embodiment is improved based on embodiment 1. As shown in
[0064] As shown in Figure 2 , 3 , 7, the locking structure comprises:
[0065] Rack 49, which is fixedly installed on the side of the test tube rack;
[0066] A gear that meshes with a rack;
[0067] Ratchet 48, which is coaxially mounted with the gear;
[0068] Pawl 44, which engages with the tooth groove of the ratchet, and the pawl can rotate around the end away from the ratchet.
[0069] In this embodiment, the locking structure shown is entirely housed within the housing. Both the gear and the ratchet are mounted on the connecting shaft 47, which is mounted within the housing via a bearing seat. Additionally, the locking structure may include a mounting portion 42, which is fixedly mounted within the housing. The ratchet is pivotally connected to the mounting portion via a pin.
[0070] When the test tube rack is fed into the test tube rack slot, the rack drives the gear to rotate. Since the gear and ratchet are coaxially connected, when the gear rotates, the ratchet will also rotate, thereby causing the pawl to jump. When rotating in the opposite direction, the pawl will be locked in the ratchet's slot to prevent the ratchet from rotating in the opposite direction, thus realizing the unidirectional movement of the test tube rack and its locking and fixation in the test tube rack slot.
[0071] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the locking structure may further include:
[0072] First link 45, the first link is pivotally connected to the pawl;
[0073] The second link 46 is pivotally connected to the first link via a pivot shaft. A second elastic element is provided on the pivot shaft. When the second link and the first link rotate relative to each other, the second elastic element undergoes elastic torsional motion.
[0074] Movable block 43, which is pivotally connected to the end of the second link away from the pivot axis;
[0075] The box 41 contains an electromagnet, and the movable block is slidably connected to the box. When the electromagnet is energized, the movable block moves linearly toward the electromagnet.
[0076] In this embodiment, the box body is fixedly installed on the mounting part, and the movable block is partially enclosed in the box body.
[0077] When the ratchet rotates, the first slot currently engaged with the pawl moves at an angle to the adjacent slot, which will compress the pawl and cause it to rotate. When the pawl rotates, the first link and the second link will rotate relative to each other, thereby causing the second elastic element to twist until the pawl moves to the next slot. The pawl is no longer restricted by the ratchet teeth and is reset under the action of the second elastic element, and re-engages in the slot.
[0078] In addition, the drug storage facility also includes a battery module 50 that provides power to the electromagnet.
[0079] In addition, a button 11 is provided on the housing, which can be pressed to energize or de-energize the electromagnet.
[0080] Pressing the button energizes the electromagnet inside the box, causing the movable block to move upwards. Under the action of the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod, and the second elastic element, the pawl rotates, causing it to disengage from the ratchet's slot. At this point, the test tube rack can be pulled out.
[0081] In this embodiment, the second elastic element is selected as a torsion spring.
[0082] In this embodiment, the button can be connected to the battery module and the electromagnet via an electrical control circuit. For example, the button switch may be directly connected to the power line of the electromagnet. When the button is pressed, the button switch closes, the power line is connected, and the electromagnet is energized and works; when the button is released, the button switch opens, the power line is disconnected, and the electromagnet is de-energized and stops working.
[0083] In this embodiment, a spring can also be fitted on the guide rod. The spring is located between the slider and the bottom of the test tube rack slot. When the test tube rack is pushed into the test tube rack slot, the slider will squeeze the spring. The spring stores energy. When the button is pressed to make the pawl leave the slot of the ratchet, the spring resets and drives the test tube rack to pop out of the test tube rack slot.
[0084] Example 3:
[0085] To achieve long-term preservation of reagents or samples, this embodiment is an improvement upon Embodiments 1 and 2, such as... Figure 8 As shown, a medium cavity 14 can be provided on the side of the test tube rack slot away from the storage cavity, and a sealing plate 15 is provided on the side of the medium cavity away from the test tube rack to isolate the medium cavity from the outside.
[0086] In this embodiment, the housing portion between the medium chamber and the test tube rack slot is made of a heat-conducting material, while the remaining portion is made of a non-heat-conducting material.
[0087] Opening the sealing plate allows the bag, box, or other container filled with cooling medium to be placed into the medium chamber. The cooling medium transfers cold air, lowering the temperature inside the test tube rack, thus preserving the reagents or samples.
[0088] The sealing plate can be connected with the box through screws, and can be fixed with the box through a clamping mode.
[0089] The above description of disclosed embodiments enables a person skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but will accord with the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
