[0029] See Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a multifunctional medical test sample storage device, which mainly consists of a storage box 1, a box cover 2, a digital display control panel 3, a sample tube rack 4, a semiconductor cooler 5, a sample tube 6, and a temperature sensor 7.
[0030] Storage Box 1: The interior of Storage Box 1 forms a storage chamber with an opening at the top, used to accommodate the sample tube rack 4 and sample tubes 6. Support legs 101 are provided at the four corners of its bottom to support and stabilize the storage box; handles 102 are provided on both sides of the upper part for easy carrying by staff. Grooves 103 are also provided on both sides of the upper part of Storage Box 1, each groove 103 having a threaded connecting bolt 104 for connection to the box cover 2. Several protruding inner strips 105 are provided on the inner wall of the storage chamber, which serve to create a gap between the sample tube rack 4 and the side wall of the storage chamber, facilitating air circulation and uniform temperature distribution, and also maintaining the stable placement of the sample tube rack 4 within the storage chamber, preventing displacement and shaking. The storage chamber has several evenly distributed inner support platforms 106 on its inner bottom surface. The inner support platforms 106 are trapezoidal in shape, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and hollow inside. Furthermore, the inner support platforms 106 are made of high-performance thermally conductive materials, such as aluminum alloy. Connecting gaps for air circulation are formed between adjacent inner support platforms 106, which further optimizes the air circulation in the storage chamber and helps to improve the uniformity of the cooling effect.
[0031] Box lid 2: Box lid 2 is detachably installed at the upper opening of the storage chamber. A mounting platform 201 is provided on the lower side of box lid 2, with connecting holes 202 corresponding to connecting bolts 104, for connection and fixation to the storage box 1 via the connecting bolts 104. First finger slots 203 are provided on both sides of box lid 2 for easy opening and closing; box lid 2 also has a transparent observation window 204 for easy observation of the sample tubes 6 inside the storage chamber without opening box lid 2.
[0032] Digital display control panel 3: Located on storage box 1, it is used to display and control the temperature inside the storage chamber. The output of temperature sensor 7 is electrically connected to the input of digital display control panel 3, and the output of digital display control panel 3 is electrically connected to the input of semiconductor cooler 5, realizing the temperature monitoring and control function.
[0033] Sample tube rack 4: Detachably installed in the storage chamber for array storage of sample tubes 6. The sample tube rack 4 has several evenly distributed tube placement holes 403, each with an open bottom. A bottom cover 401 is provided on the bottom side of the sample tube rack 4. A corresponding plug 402, made of silicone rubber, is fixedly installed on the top of the bottom cover 401 to each tube placement hole 403, providing a sealing and protection function. Second finger slots 404 are provided on both sides of the bottom cover 401 for easy removal and placement. Two handles 406 are provided on the top of the sample tube rack 4 for easy handling and removal from the storage chamber. A flow opening slot 405 is also provided through the sample tube rack 4 to allow air circulation around the sample tubes 6, ensuring temperature uniformity.
[0034] A semiconductor cooler 5 is located at the bottom of the storage box 1 and is used to cool the interior of the storage chamber. The semiconductor cooler 5 uses the Peltier effect of semiconductor materials to achieve cooling, which has the advantages of fast cooling speed, high efficiency, no mechanical moving parts, and long service life. It can be controlled by the digital display control panel 3 to cool or stop cooling the storage chamber according to the set temperature value, providing a low temperature storage environment for the sample tubes 6.
[0035] Temperature sensor 7 is located at the bottom of storage tank 1 and is used to detect the temperature inside the storage chamber, transmitting the temperature signal to digital display control panel 3. Temperature sensor 7 uses a high-precision temperature-sensitive element, enabling it to accurately detect the temperature inside the storage chamber in real time and convert the temperature signal into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to digital display control panel 3. Digital display control panel 3 processes and displays the temperature signal, and simultaneously controls the operating status of semiconductor cooler 5 according to the set temperature range.
[0036] The lid 2 and the storage box 1 are detachably connected by the engagement of the connecting bolt 104 and the connecting hole 202. When connecting, the inserting platform 201 of the lid 2 is inserted into the upper opening of the storage chamber, the connecting bolt 104 is inserted and aligned with the connecting hole 202 and tightened to fix the lid 2; when disassembling, the connecting bolt 104 is loosened from the connecting hole 202 and the lid 2 can be removed.
[0037] Working principle:
[0038] Insert the sample tube 6 into the tube placement hole 403 of the sample tube rack 4, and then place the sample tube rack 4 into the storage chamber of the storage box 1. The sample tube rack is stably supported by the inner protrusion 105, which prevents the sample tube rack 4 from shifting or shaking within the storage box 1, while maintaining a certain gap with the side wall of the storage chamber to facilitate air circulation. In addition, with the flow opening groove 405, it can achieve sufficient air circulation within the storage chamber and contact with the sample tube 6, maintaining a consistent internal temperature within the storage chamber. Next, install the bottom cover 401 by engaging it with the tube placement hole 403 of the sample tube rack through the plug 402, sealing the bottom of the sample tube rack and facilitating disassembly, cleaning, and disinfection.
[0039] Temperature sensor 7 monitors the temperature inside the storage chamber in real time and transmits the temperature signal to digital display control panel 3. The control panel displays the current temperature value and compares it with a preset temperature range. When the detected temperature exceeds the preset upper limit, the control panel 3 activates the thermoelectric cooler 5, which begins cooling the storage chamber. As cooling progresses, the temperature inside the storage chamber gradually decreases. When the detected temperature reaches the preset lower limit, the control panel 3 stops the thermoelectric cooler 5. At this point, due to the storage chamber's insulation properties, the temperature remains relatively stable for a period of time. If the temperature rises again above the upper limit, the thermoelectric cooler 5 will restart, and this cycle repeats to maintain the temperature inside the storage chamber within the preset range, providing a suitable storage environment for the sample tube 6.
[0040] When it is necessary to observe the status of sample tube 6, it can be observed through the transparent observation window 204 on the lid 2 without opening the lid, thus reducing the influence of the external environment on the temperature and samples inside the storage chamber. When it is necessary to move the storage device, it can be moved through the handle 102 on the storage box 1. At the same time, the finger slots 404 and handles 406 on the lid 2 and sample tube rack 4 also facilitate the opening, closing and handling of each component.
[0041] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
