Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present utility model.

[0035] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Figure 1 Fig. 2 is a schematic view of an exploded structure of a type A transport container device for radiopharmaceuticals in the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, the type A transport container device for radiopharmaceuticals in the embodiment includes an outer shield container 2, a heat shrink film 1, a fourth flexible shield unit 3, an inner shield can body 4, a first flexible shield unit 5, a shield can body 6, a vial 7, a rubber plug 8, an aluminum cap 9, a shield can cap 10, a second flexible shield unit 11, an inner shield cap 12, and a fifth flexible shield unit 13. Figure 1As shown in the figure, the A-type transport container device includes a shielding container. Generally, the radioactive medicine for clinical diagnosis or treatment is contained in a vial 7, and after being capped with a rubber plug 8 and an aluminum cap 9, the whole is loaded into the shielding container. The shielding container is composed of a shielding can body 6 and a shielding can cap 10. The shielding can body 6 includes a can body shell; the can body shell is entirely made of stainless steel, tungsten steel, alloy steel, high polymer, etc., and has a hollow sandwich structure, and the axial center direction of the can body shell has a recessed storage cavity; a shielding layer is arranged in the hollow sandwich structure of the can body shell, and the shielding layer is usually made of lead-antimony alloy, etc., and the thickness of the shielding layer is designed according to the requirement to achieve the effect of shielding X-rays and γ-rays. The shielding can cap 10 includes a cap shell; the cap shell is also entirely made of stainless steel, tungsten steel, alloy steel, high polymer, etc., and has a hollow sandwich structure; a shielding layer is also arranged in the hollow sandwich structure of the cap shell, and the shielding layer is made of lead-antimony alloy, etc., and the thickness of the shielding layer is designed according to the requirement to achieve the effect of shielding X-rays and γ-rays. At the same time, the shielding can body 6 and the shielding can cap 10 are provided with cooperating buckle structures to realize quick disassembly and assembly. When the combination of the vial 7 containing the radioactive medicine, the rubber plug 8 and the aluminum cap 9 is placed in the storage cavity of the shielding can body 6, the buckle structure is used to connect the shielding can body 6 and the shielding can cap 10 as a whole, and the shielding can body 6 and the shielding can cap 10 cooperate to clamp the combination of the vial 7, the rubber plug 8 and the aluminum cap 9 to prevent the vial from being overturned or damaged by jumping; the shielding container shields X-rays and γ-rays as a whole.

[0037] Figure 2 The combination structure of the inner protection container, the inner flexible protection body and the shielding container of the A-type transport container device for radioactive medicine in the embodiment is shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, Figure 1 and 2As shown, the Type A transport container device also includes one or more inner flexible protective bodies, which are made of flexible materials such as polystyrene foam, porous sponge, and cotton cloth. Each inner flexible protective body has one or more generally enclosed first accommodating cavities, and each first accommodating cavity is sized to match the corresponding shielding container (i.e., the size of the first accommodating cavity is the same as or slightly smaller than the outer dimensions of the shielding container). The thickness of the remaining portion of the inner flexible protective body, excluding the area outside the first accommodating cavity, is designed according to requirements, materials, and the number of first accommodating cavities. When one or more shielding containers are placed one by one into the first accommodating cavity of the corresponding inner flexible protective body, the shielding container is fully enclosed and protected. The flexibility of the inner flexible protective body itself can resist external impacts and provide cushioning, protecting the shielding container and the assembly consisting of vials 7, rubber stoppers 8, and aluminum caps 9 inside, reducing the risk of vial breakage. Simultaneously, the inner flexible protective body can also play a certain adsorption role in the event of a radioactive material leak. Furthermore, to facilitate the installation and placement of the shielding container, the inner flexible protective body can be designed as a split structure. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, the inner flexible protective body includes two symmetrically structured first flexible protective units 5 and second flexible protective units 11; each of the first flexible protective units 5 and second flexible protective units 11 has a recessed cavity; when the first flexible protective units 5 and second flexible protective units 11 are combined, the two recessed cavities form a first accommodating cavity for accommodating the shielding container. Alternatively, the inner flexible protective body includes symmetrically structured first flexible protective units 5 and second flexible protective units 11, and one or more third inner flexible protective body units; each of the first flexible protective units 5 and second flexible protective units 11 has a recessed cavity, and the third inner flexible protective body unit has a through hole with the same cross-sectional size as the recessed cavity; when the first flexible protective unit 5, one or more third inner flexible protective units, and second flexible protective units 11 are sequentially combined, the two recessed cavities and one or more through holes form a first accommodating cavity for accommodating the shielding container. In this embodiment, the inner flexible protective body can provide a second layer of flexible buffer protection for the shielding container.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the Type A transport container device also includes an inner protective container. One or more inner flexible protective bodies are disposed within the inner protective container; when there is only one inner flexible protective body, the internal dimensions of the inner protective container match the external dimensions of the inner flexible protective body; when there are two or more inner flexible protective bodies, they are laid flat against each other or stacked vertically, or a combination of flat against each other and stacked vertically, and the internal dimensions of the inner protective container match the overall external dimensions of the combined inner flexible protective bodies, thereby providing protection for the inner flexible protective bodies and the shielding container. The inner protective container includes an inner protective tank 4 and an inner protective cover 12. The inner protective tank 4 is entirely made of metal (such as tinplate) or plastic (such as PP, PE, PVC, etc.); multiple reinforcing ribs are provided on the outer side wall of the inner protective tank 4 along the circumferential and / or height direction (perpendicular to the circumferential direction) to improve the structural strength of the inner protective tank 4. The inner protective cover 12 is entirely made of metal (such as aluminum) or plastic (such as PP, PE, PVC, etc.). During assembly, the inner protective cover 12 is located at the opening of the inner protective container 4, and the two are combined into one unit using methods such as threaded connection, clamp connection, snap connection, and hot melt bonding. In this embodiment, the inner protective container can provide a second layer of puncture resistance protection for the shielding container.

[0039] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the combination of the outer flexible protective body and the outer protective container of a Type A transport container device for radiopharmaceuticals in the embodiment. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the Type A transport container device also includes an outer flexible protective body, which is made of flexible materials such as polystyrene foam, porous sponge, and cotton cloth. Each outer flexible protective body has one or more generally enclosed second accommodating cavities, each second accommodating cavity to the size of the corresponding inner protective container (i.e., the size of the second accommodating cavity is the same as or slightly smaller than the outer dimensions of the inner protective container). The thickness of the remaining portion of the outer flexible protective body, excluding the area outside the second accommodating cavity, is designed according to requirements, materials, and the number of second accommodating cavities. When one or more inner protective containers are placed one by one into the second accommodating cavity of the corresponding outer flexible protective body, comprehensive protection of the inner protective container is achieved. The flexibility of the outer flexible protective body itself can resist external impacts and provide cushioning, protecting the inner protective container, the shielding container, and the assembly consisting of vials 7, rubber stoppers 8, and aluminum caps 9 loaded within the shielding container, reducing the risk of vial breakage. Simultaneously, the outer flexible protective body can also provide some absorption in the event of a radioactive material leak. Furthermore, to facilitate the placement of the inner protective container, the outer flexible protective body can be designed as a split structure. For example, as... Figure 3As shown in the figure, the outer flexible protection body includes two fourth flexible protection units 3 and fifth flexible protection units 13 in symmetrical structure; one recess cavity is respectively arranged on the fourth flexible protection unit 3 and the fifth flexible protection unit 13; when the fourth flexible protection unit 3 and the fifth flexible protection unit 13 are combined, the two recess cavities are combined to form a second accommodating cavity for accommodating the inner protection container. For example, the outer flexible protection body includes the fourth flexible protection unit 3 and the fifth flexible protection unit 13 in symmetrical structure, and one or more sixth inner flexible protection body units; one recess cavity is respectively arranged on the fourth flexible protection unit 3 and the fifth flexible protection unit 13, and the sixth inner flexible protection body unit is provided with a through hole with the same cross-sectional dimension as the recess cavity; when the fourth flexible protection unit 3, the one or more sixth inner flexible protection body units and the fifth flexible protection unit 13 are sequentially combined, the two recess cavities and the one or more through holes form a second accommodating cavity for accommodating the shielding container. In this embodiment, the outer flexible protection body can provide the first heavy flexible buffer protection for the shielding container.

[0040] As Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the A-type transport container device further includes an outer protection container 2. One or more outer flexible protection bodies are arranged in the outer protection container; when the outer flexible protection body is one, the internal dimension of the outer protection container 2 matches the outer shape dimension of the outer flexible protection body; when the outer flexible protection body is two or more, the outer flexible protection bodies are closely laid flat or stacked up and down, or a combination of closely laid flat and stacked up and down, and the internal dimension of the outer protection container 2 matches the overall outer shape dimension of the combined outer flexible protection bodies, thereby providing protection for the outer flexible protection body, the inner protection container and the shielding container. The outer protection container 2 is integrally processed by metal and / or plastic, which includes an outer protection tank body and an outer protection cover. The outer protection tank body is integrally processed by metal (such as tinplate, etc.) or plastic (such as PP, PE, PVC, etc.); a plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged on the outer side wall of the outer protection tank body in the circumferential direction and / or the height direction (perpendicular to the circumferential direction) to improve the structural strength of the outer protection tank body. The outer protection cover is integrally processed by metal (such as aluminum, etc.) or plastic (such as PP, PE, PVC, etc.). During assembly, the outer protection cover is located at the opening of the outer protection tank body, and the two are combined into one by thread connection, clamp connection, buckle connection, hot melt bonding, etc. When the outer protection container 2 is integrally processed by corrugated paper, it is directly packaged by double-sided tape or sealing tape after lamination. Compared with metal or plastic, the cost of using corrugated paper to process the outer protection container is lower, and the weight is also smaller. In this embodiment, the outer protection container can provide the first heavy puncture-resistant protection for the shielding container.

[0041] Figure 4 The outer protection container and the heat shrinkable film combination structure of the A-type transport container device for radioactive drugs in the embodiment are shown in the figure. As Figure 4As shown in the middle, because the moisture resistance, rain resistance and the relative poor sealing when the leakage of corrugated board, outside the outer protective container 2 is also provided with a layer of heat shrinkable film 1; heat shrinkable film 1 for the outer protective container provides good moisture resistance, rain resistance, also can be used as the last barrier to isolate the leakage of radioactive drugs.

[0042] The A type transport container device for radioactive drugs in the embodiment has an inner protective container and an outer protective container, and an inner flexible protective body and an outer flexible protective body, which constitute double puncture-resistant protection and double flexible buffer protection, overcome many shortcomings such as poor anti-falling effect, poor liquid medicine bottle shock resistance and impact resistance, and great risk of internal radioactive material dispersion, and at the same time meet the safety transportation requirements of the A type transport container device on the road, railway and aviation.
