[0032] Example

[0033] The specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows: Figure 1-6 As shown, a work case for transporting drugs in clinical drug trials includes a case body 1, with casters fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the case body 1. In this embodiment, the casters are conventional casters with built-in brake pads, which are existing product technology. The top of the case body 1 has a storage slot, and a telescopic shelf 5 is installed inside the storage slot. To cover the storage slot, a lid 2 is hinged to the top of the case body 1, and a locking structure 4 is installed between the lid 2 and the case body 1 for locking. In this embodiment, the locking structure 4 consists of male and female snap-fits, which are fixed to the lid 2 and the case body 1 respectively for engaging. In use, separating the male and female snap-fits of the locking structure 4 allows the lid 2 to be opened to reveal the telescopic shelf 5.

[0034] Meanwhile, a storage slot two is provided on the upper part of the side wall of the box body 1, into which a multi-functional treatment tray 6 is inserted, and a hinged flap 13 is hinged to the opening of the storage slot two. In addition, a storage slot three is provided on the lower part of the front of the box body 1, into which a medicine storage drawer 7 is inserted, and a hinged flap 12 is hinged to the opening of the storage slot three. To further prevent medicines in the medicine storage drawer 7 from falling out, a drawer cover is also hinged to the upper opening of the medicine storage drawer 7. To achieve constant temperature refrigeration of medicines in the medicine storage drawer 7, storage slot four is provided on both sides of the front of the box body 1, into which a refrigeration drawer 3 is inserted, and the storage slot four is connected to the storage slot three, and a breathable mesh 131 is fixedly installed.

[0035] In this embodiment, a combination lock is provided on the flip cover 12 to prevent accidental detachment. Simultaneously, to enable real-time monitoring of the temperature within the storage compartment 3, a magnetic thermometer is also provided on the flip cover 12. Correspondingly, for mounting the magnetic thermometer, an iron plate can be provided on the inner wall of the flip cover 12, or a slot can be provided on the outer wall of the flip cover 12, with an iron sheet mounted on the bottom of the slot. Alternatively, a regular thermometer can be used, and a slot can be provided on the outer wall of the flip cover 12 for embedding and mounting the regular thermometer. Furthermore, a through hole is provided on the flip cover 12, and a rubber protective ring is installed on the inner wall of the through hole, allowing the sensing end of the thermometer to pass through the flip cover 12 and be located inside the storage compartment 3. Additionally, a mounting groove is provided on the inner wall of the medicine storage drawer 7, in which a temperature probe is installed, and the temperature probe is electrically connected to the magnetic thermometer. In order for the magnetic thermometer to simultaneously detect the temperature inside storage compartment 3 and medicine storage drawer 7, the magnetic thermometer is equipped with a mercury display section corresponding to the sensing end of the magnetic thermometer and an electronic display screen corresponding to the temperature probe.

[0036] The device's housing 1 is made of high-strength, lightweight material and is internally divided into multiple functional areas, including a temperature-controlled refrigerated drug storage area, a treatment tray placement area, and a medication preparation and consumables area. Regarding the temperature-controlled refrigerated drug storage area, first, pull out the two refrigerated drawers 3 on housing 1, place ice packs inside, then open the flip-top 12 to pull out the drug storage drawer 7, place the required medication inside, and then reinsert the refrigerated drawers 3 and 7 into housing 1 and close the flip-top 12. The cold air emitted from the ice packs in the refrigerated drawers 3 flows into the drug storage drawer 7 through the breathable mesh 131, achieving low-temperature storage of the medication and ensuring that clinical trial drugs are stored under appropriate conditions. Furthermore, inserting the device into housing 1 also meets the light-protected storage requirements for some medications, maximizing the effectiveness of drug storage.

[0037] When using the telescopic shelf 5, simply open the lid 2 to expose the telescopic shelf 5, then pull it open to categorize and store medication supplies and consumables in the storage tray 51. Additionally, regarding the use of the multi-functional treatment tray 6, open the flip cover 13, pull out the multi-functional treatment tray 6, and place medications and medication supplies therein.

[0038] In this device, for easy movement of the work case, a handle 21 is fixed in the middle of the top of the lid 2, and a telescopic rod 22 is fixed to the top edge of the lid 2. Additionally, side handles 11 are fixed to the side walls of the case body 1. In use, medical staff can lift and carry the work case by grasping the handle 21 or the two side handles 11, or they can grasp the telescopic rod 22 to extend it and pull the work case using the omnidirectional casters. This allows for convenient and varied movement of the work case between wards. In this embodiment, the telescopic rod 22 is a conventional structure, similar to the rod structure on a common suitcase—it typically consists of multiple interlocking inner and outer tubes, with each tube connected by precision connectors and spring devices, allowing the rod to extend or retract as needed.

[0039] In this embodiment, rubber rings are provided on the contact surfaces of flip cover 12 and storage slot 3, and on the contact surfaces of flip cover 23 and storage slot 2. When flip cover 12 and flip cover 23 are closed with storage slots 2 and 3, the rubber rings are squeezed to make them tightly connected, preventing them from automatically flipping open.

[0040] The telescopic shelf 5 includes multiple stacked trays 51, each with two connecting plates 52 connected to both sides via pivots. In use, the telescopic shelf 5 is pulled open, and the trays 51 rotate and unfold via the connecting plates 52, dividing the trays 51 into different areas. This allows for the categorization and storage of medication supplies and consumables within the trays 51. Each tray 51 can be separated by a partition of corresponding width or length. In this embodiment, the partitions along the length of the tray 51 have multiple slots on both sides, and the inner wall of the tray 51 has corresponding slots. The partitions along the width of the tray 51 are detachably inserted into slots one and two, respectively, and their insertion positions can be adjusted as needed to accommodate different spatial layout requirements.

[0041] The multifunctional treatment tray 6 includes a treatment tray body 61, with a folding sleeve 62 fixed to the bottom edge of the treatment tray body 61. The folding sleeve 62 has openings on both sides and the front. The treatment tray body 61 can be used to hold medications and medical supplies. Furthermore, when administering medications requiring light protection, the folding sleeve 62 can be stretched out. The stretched folding sleeve 62 provides support, allowing the patient to insert their hands under the treatment tray body 61 through the openings on both sides, while medical personnel administer the medication through the front opening. This creates a medication administration space visible only to medical personnel, effectively preventing light exposure. In this embodiment, the folding sleeve 62 is made of opaque rubber or other opaque plastic material. The folding sleeve 62 also possesses a certain degree of rigidity, providing support when folded and unfolded.

[0042] In addition, an opening is provided on the side wall of the refrigerator drawer 3 facing the medicine storage drawer 7, and a ventilation mesh 31 corresponding to and cooperating with the ventilation mesh 131 is fixedly installed at this opening. The cold air emitted from the ice pack in the refrigerator drawer 3 can flow into the medicine storage drawer 7 through the ventilation mesh 31 and the ventilation mesh 131, achieving low-temperature storage of medicines. At the same time, a rubber ring is also provided on the outer edge of the refrigerator drawer 3, which is inlaid and connected to the storage slot 4. When the refrigerator drawer 3 is inserted into the cabinet 1 and closed, the rubber ring squeezes and connects tightly, making it difficult to open automatically.

[0043] The present invention has been described above in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed above, but should cover various modifications and equivalent combinations made in accordance with the essence of the present invention.
