AI Technical Summary
Existing medical test tube storage racks cannot avoid affecting operations and improving testing efficiency when the number of samples submitted for testing is unstable. In particular, they occupy too much area and affect operations when the sample volume is small, and require more placement and processing times when the sample volume increases, resulting in reduced efficiency.
A medical test tube storage rack was designed, comprising a base, a rotating body, a first extension body, a second extension body, and a third extension body. By rotating and sliding these components, the volume of the test tube rack and the number of test tubes it can hold can be adjusted to adapt to changes in sample volume, thereby enabling the expansion and storage of the test tube rack.
When the sample size is small, the volume of the test tube rack is reduced to facilitate operation; when the sample size increases, the efficiency of a single processing is improved by increasing the number of test tubes, thus achieving efficient operation under different sample sizes.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of test tube rack technology, specifically to a medical test tube storage rack. Background Technology
[0002] Because the volume of samples requiring testing is variable, using large-capacity test tube racks becomes inconvenient for personnel when the number of samples decreases, as these racks occupy too much desktop space. Furthermore, existing medical test tube racks have a fixed volume and capacity; when the volume of samples increases, the racks need to handle more samples by increasing the number of placement and processing cycles. This increased cycle leads to longer reaction times and ultimately reduces testing efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a medical test tube storage rack to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that, due to the unstable number of samples submitted for testing, existing medical test tube storage racks cannot improve testing efficiency without affecting the operation.

[0006] A second extension body is slidably installed below the first extension body, and a second extension position is provided on the surface of the second extension body.
[0007] A connector is installed at the end of the first extension body. The connector includes a locking body and a limiting plate. A set of rotating bodies includes two first rotating columns and a first extension body. A locking body is rotatably installed at the end of any one extension body, and a limiting plate is fixedly installed at the end of the other first extension body.
[0008] The flat surface on the lower side of the first rotating column is coplanar with the lower surface of the first extension body. A limiting body is fixedly installed on the end surface of the first rotating column, and a limiting body that matches the limiting body is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the first extension body near the support portion.
[0009] At least one second rotating post is fixedly installed above any one of the first extension bodies. A third extension body is rotatably installed on the surface of the second rotating post. A third extension position is provided on the third extension body. An overlapping part is installed at the end of the third extension body and above the first extension body.
[0010] The overlapping portion includes a protrusion and a groove. The end of the third extension body is fixedly installed with a protrusion, and a groove that matches the protrusion is provided on the upper part of the adjacent first extension body.
[0011] Two sets of rotating bodies are symmetrically installed on both sides of the base.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This invention utilizes the cooperation of a first, second, and third extension body to reduce the volume of the test tube rack and the number of test tubes it can hold when the sample volume is small, thus facilitating operation.

[0025] This disclosure aims to address the problem that existing medical test tube storage racks cannot improve testing efficiency without affecting operation due to the unstable number of submitted samples. Therefore, this disclosure proposes a medical test tube storage rack, including a base 1 for placing medical test tubes 30. The surface of the base 1 has multiple through holes 11 for placing the test tubes 30. At least one set of rotating bodies 2 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the base 1. Each set of rotating bodies 2 includes a receiving groove 21, a first rotating post 22, and a first extension body 23. The receiving groove 21 is provided on the side of the base 1, and the first rotating post 22 is fixedly installed within the receiving groove 21. The first extension body 23 is rotatably installed on the surface of the first rotating post 22, and a first extension position 231 is provided on the surface of the first extension body 23.
[0026] Because the volume of samples requiring testing is variable, using excessively large medical test tube storage racks can be problematic. When the sample volume is small, the rack's large size occupies too much space, hindering operator work and causing gaps in the rack's storage capacity, making observation difficult. Furthermore, existing medical test tube storage racks, with their fixed size and capacity, require more frequent placement and processing to accommodate increased sample volumes, leading to decreased testing efficiency.
[0027] To address this, the test tube 30 rack is first placed in the through hole 11 of the base 1. After the number of test tubes 30 increases, the operator rotates the first extension body 23, causing the first extension body 23 to rotate along the axis of the rotating column, so that the first extension bodies 23 are horizontally placed relative to each other. Then, the test tubes 30 are placed into the first extension position 231 for placement.
[0028] Therefore, as the number of test tubes increases, the volume of the test tube rack and the number of test tubes that the test tube rack can hold can be manually and adaptively increased. As the number of test tube racks decreases, the first extension body 23 can be rotated and stored, thereby reducing the volume and facilitating operation.
[0029] A second extension body 24 is slidably mounted below the first extension body 23, and a second extension position 241 is provided on the surface of the second extension body 24. After the first extension body 23 is rotated and unfolded, and the test tubes 30 are filled with the through holes 11 in the base 1 and the first extension position 231 in the first extension body 23, the second extension body 24 is slid, thereby exposing the second extension position 241 after the second extension body 24 slides, so that the operator can continue to place the test tubes 30 in the second extension position 241, thereby further increasing the number of test tubes 30 that the test tube rack can hold, and further improving the efficiency of processing the test tubes 30 on the test tube rack.
[0030] It should be noted that the sliding installation method of the second extension body 24 is prior art, and any existing installation method that can achieve sliding can be used. For example, in this disclosure, the sliding is achieved by opening guide rails on the first extension body 23 and the second extension body 24.
[0031] It should be noted that the upper surface of the second extension body 24 and the lower surface of the first extension body 23 are fixedly installed with mutually cooperating first magnetic bodies 25. So after the second extension body 24 slides out, the first magnetic bodies 25 on the upper surface of the second extension body 24 and the first magnetic bodies 25 on the surface of the first extension body 23 attract each other, thereby fixing the second extension body 24 and preventing the second extension body 24 from moving, thus ensuring that the test tube 30 remains stable when placed in the second extension body 24.
[0032] The first extension body 23 is equipped with a connector 26 for fixing adjacent first extension bodies 23. The connector 26 includes a locking body 261 and a limiting plate 262. A set of rotating bodies 2 includes two rotating columns and first extension bodies 23. The locking body 261 is rotatably installed at the end of one extension body, and the limiting plate 262 is fixedly installed at the end of the other first extension body 23. The surface of the locking body 261 has a slot that overlaps with the limiting plate 262. After the first extension body 23 is rotated and unfolded, the operator rotates the limiting plate 262, thereby rotating the limiting plate 262 and causing the slot to overlap the limiting plate 262, thereby fixing the two symmetrical first extension bodies 23, and ensuring that the two symmetrical first extension bodies 23 can stably support the test tube 30 after unfolding.
[0033] The lower flat surface of the first rotating column 22 is coplanar with the lower surface of the first extension body 23. A limiting body 221 is fixedly installed on the end surface of the first rotating column 22, and a limiting body 232 that cooperates with the limiting body 221 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the first extension body 23 near the support. During the rotation of the first extension body 23, the limiting body 232 on the surface of the first extension body 23 will contact the limiting body 221, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the first extension body 23 through the limiting body 221. Through the mutual cooperation of the limiting body 221 and the limiting body 232, the first extension body 23 can be stably rotated and unfolded. The mutual cooperation of the limiting body 221 and the limiting body 232 allows the first extension body 23 to rotate and unfold to a predetermined angle, which also facilitates the card body 261 to overlap the surface of the limiting plate 262, thereby facilitating the mutual fixation of adjacent first extension bodies 23.
[0034] At least one second rotating post 27 is fixedly installed above any one of the first extension bodies 23. A third extension body 28 is rotatably installed on the surface of the second rotating post 27. The third extension body 28 has a third extension position 281. An overlapping portion 29 is fixedly installed above another first extension body 23. The overlapping portion 29 includes a protrusion 291 and a groove. The protrusion 291 is fixedly installed at the end of the third extension body 28, and the groove that mates with the protrusion 291 is opened at the end of the adjacent first extension body 23.
[0035] After the card body 261 is rotated and overlapped on the limiting plate 262 to fix the adjacent first extension body 23, the third extension body 28 is rotated so that the third extension body 28 is perpendicular to the first extension body 23, and the protrusion 291 engages in the groove of the overlapping part 29, thereby fixing the third extension part. After the protrusion 291 is inserted into the groove to fix the third extension part, the operator places the test tube 30 into the third extension position 281 for placement, thereby further increasing the number of test tubes 30 that the test tube rack can hold, and further improving the efficiency of processing the test tubes 30 on the test tube rack.
[0036] It should be noted that the third extension body 28 can slide up and down along the surface of the second rotating post 27, thereby facilitating the insertion of the protrusion 291 at the end of the third extension into the groove of the overlapping part 29. The end of the second rotating post 27 protrudes radially, thereby limiting the sliding range of the third extension body 28 and preventing the third extension body 28 from detaching from the second rotating post 27.
[0037] Two sets of rotating bodies 2 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the base 1. The two sets of rotating bodies 2, when fully unfolded, can make the test tube rack 30 have an approximately cuboid structure. This increases the number of test tubes 30 that the test tube rack 30 can hold and improves the efficiency of processing the test tubes 30 on the test tube rack 30. At the same time, the approximately cuboid structure formed when fully unfolded can facilitate personnel operation when a large number of test tubes 30 are placed.
[0038] The inner wall of the groove and the side wall of the first extension body 23 are fixedly installed with a second magnetic body 31. When the first extension body 23 is stored in the groove, the second magnetic body 31 attracts each other and fixes it, thereby preventing the first extension body 23 from moving when it is stored and not in use, which helps to maintain the stability of the whole during use.
[0039] When the number of bodily fluid samples requiring testing suddenly increases, the operator first places the test tube 30 into the through hole 11 in the substrate 1. After filling the hole, the operator rotates the first extension body 23. During the rotation of the first rotating body 2, the operator drives the limiting body 232 to rotate, thereby bringing the limiting body 232 into contact with the limiting body 221, thus limiting the rotation angle of the first rotating body 2. After the limiting body 232 contacts the limiting body 221, the operator rotates the locking body 261 and makes the locking groove of the locking body 261 engage with the limiting plate 262, thereby fixing the adjacent first extension body 23 through the locking body 261 and the limiting plate 262, thus ensuring that the test tube 30 is stably placed in the first extension position 231.
[0040] After the first extension position 231 is filled with test tubes 30, the operator pushes the second extension body 24, causing the first magnetic body 25 on the upper surface of the second extension body 24 to attract each other with the first magnetic body 25 on the surface of the first extension body 23, thereby connecting and fixing the second extension body to the first extension body. Then the operator can place the test tubes 30 in the second extension position 241 in the second extension body 24, thereby further increasing the number of test tubes 30 that can be carried and improving work efficiency by increasing the number of test tubes 30 processed at one time.
[0041] After the second extension body 24 is filled with test tubes 30, the operator rotates the third extension body 28 so that the third extension body 28 is perpendicular to the first extension body 23. Then, the protrusion 291 at the end of the third extension body 28 is inserted into the groove for fixation, so that the third extension body 28 can stably hold the test tubes 30.
[0042] Therefore, this embodiment of the present disclosure can adaptively adjust the volume and the number of test tubes (30 tubes) it can hold at one time. When the sample volume is small, the first extension body 23, the second extension body 24, and the third extension body 28 can be accommodated, thereby reducing the volume and the number of test tubes (30 tubes) it can hold, making it easier for personnel to operate. When the sample volume increases, the first extension body 23, the second extension body 24, and the third extension body 28 can be unfolded, thereby increasing the number of test tubes (30 tubes) it can hold and the number of test tubes (30 tubes) processed at one time, thus improving work efficiency.

The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
