Detailed Implementation

[0021] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided in detail.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 The present invention relates to a multi-stage medical supplies storage device, comprising a vertical shaft 2 and multiple storage box assemblies capable of rotating around the shaft 2. Each storage box assembly is used for storing medical supplies. By enabling the storage box assembly to rotate around the shaft 2, when inserting or retrieving medical supplies from the storage box assembly, the storage box assembly can be rotated by a certain angle around the shaft 2, thereby improving the convenience of inserting and retrieving items.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that:

[0024] The storage box assembly includes a U-shaped support frame 8 and a storage box 10 located inside the support frame 8. One end of the support frame 8 is fitted with a sleeve 4 via a connecting seat 5, and the sleeve 4 is sleeved on the shaft 2. Therefore, the support frame 8 and the storage box 10 can rotate around the shaft 2. The storage box 10 is a horizontally placed tubular shape with bushings 9 at the center of its two end walls. A rotating shaft 7 is located inside the bushings 9 on its respective end of the support frame 8. A locking element 12 is also provided on the support frame 8 to lock the storage box 10. Therefore, the storage box 10 can rotate forward or backward by a certain angle around the rotating shaft 7 and be locked by the locking element 12. This allows adjustment of the orientation of the storage box 10, further improving the convenience of placing and retrieving items.

[0025] In this embodiment, the locking member 12 includes a threaded rod installed on the inner side of the end of the support frame 8 and a lock nut located on the threaded rod, with the lock nut abutting against the end wall of the storage box 10. Figure 2The locking element 12 shown is installed on the inner side of the right end of the support frame 8. When it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the storage box 10, rotate the locking nut to move it to the right along the threaded rod to move away from the right end wall of the storage box 10. After rotating the storage box 10 up or down by a certain angle, rotate the locking nut to move it to the left along the threaded rod to move it closer to the right end wall of the storage box 10 until it contacts the right end wall and applies a certain squeezing force. Then the storage box 10 is locked and fixed in the current position.

[0026] In this embodiment, a plurality of spaced shaft segments 3 are provided in the middle of the shaft 2, and the diameter of the spaced shaft segments 3 is larger than the diameter of the shaft 2. The sleeves 4 of the storage box assembly are located between adjacent spaced shaft segments 3. In this way, in the vertical direction, each spaced shaft segment 3 positions each sleeve 4 at intervals, so that the height of each storage box assembly will not change in the vertical direction.

[0027] In this embodiment, a support beam 13 with multiple grooves 15 on the beam is also included; a support column 17 with a threaded portion is provided at the other end of the support frame 8. The support column 17 is embedded in the groove 15 on the beam and locked in place by a locking nut 16 located on the threaded portion. The function of the support beam 13 is as follows: First, by embedding the support column 17 into the groove 15 on the beam, effective support is provided for the other end of the storage box assembly, preventing the storage box assembly from sagging and deforming after placing heavy items; Second, when the support column 17 is embedded in the groove 15 on the beam and locked by the locking nut 16, the storage box assembly cannot rotate arbitrarily around the shaft 2. When rotation is required, the locking nut 16 must be released first, thus improving safety.

[0028] In this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the shaft 2 are bent in the same direction and are provided with mounting plates 1 with mounting holes at the ends; a fixing plate 14 with mounting holes is provided on the side of the support beam 13; the mounting plate 1 and the fixing plate 14 are installed and fixed to the wall or bracket by bolts.

[0029] Please see Figure 4 It can be seen that:

[0030] The storage box 10 has multiple partitions 20 that divide the interior into multiple storage compartments 19. Each storage compartment 19 contains a single-expiration-date medical product. The top of each storage compartment 19 is open and is fitted with a cover 11 via a hinge 18. An expiration date component 6 is provided on the cover 11. When inserting or removing products, the cover 11 is opened, and the expiration date component 6 displays the expiration date of the product inside. When the expiration date has passed, the product inside should be replaced promptly. After replacing with a new medical product, the expiration date component 6 is set to the expiration date of the product inside.

[0031] The expiry date component 6 can be available in two specific forms, which can be selected according to requirements:

[0032] In the first form, the expiration date component 6 is a handwritten or printed date label. The date label is glued and fixed to the center of the surface of the compartment cover 11. When the items in the compartment are replaced, a date label is formed by handwriting or printing and pasted onto the compartment cover 11.

[0033] In the second form, the expiration date component 6 is a roller ring type date component installed in the lower center of the compartment cover 11. The roller ring type date component includes a cylindrical, non-rotating roller body and multiple rotatable digital rings installed on the roller body. A strip window is provided in the middle of the compartment cover 11 to reveal the set expiration date. Typically, the roller ring type date component can have eight digital rings, and each digital ring has 0 to 9 numbers distributed circumferentially at equal angles. The specific expiration date is formed by rotating each digital ring. For example, 20250630 indicates that the expiration date is June 30, 2025. Since the roller ring type date component is located in the lower center of the compartment cover 11, the compartment cover 11 needs to be opened to set the expiration date.
