Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically, it relates to a spare blood collection tube box. Background Technology

[0002] Blood collection tubes are specialized containers used in medical testing for collecting, storing, and transporting blood samples. Depending on the specific testing requirements, different anticoagulants or clotting agents are typically added to the inside of blood collection tubes to ensure the stability of the blood sample before testing.

[0003] In current technology, when collecting blood, a bunch of tubes are prepared in advance without proper sorting. This can lead to the problem of drawing the wrong blood collection tubes in the wrong order. Afterwards, staff need to compare the labels on the blood collection tubes one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious. In addition, there is no way to remind staff.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model provides a spare blood collection tube box. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a spare blood collection tube box.

[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A spare blood collection tube box includes a base frame and blood collection tubes. The blood collection tubes are neatly arranged in rows on the base frame. Multiple placement slots are provided on the base frame. The placement slots are arranged in rows, and a color ring is fixedly installed at the top of each slot. The color rings in rows are different colors, while those in rows are the same color. Each blood collection tube has a cap at its top, and the caps are color-differentiated. The caps in rows are different colors, while those in rows are the same color. The color of each cap matches the color ring in the corresponding placement slot. Segmented wires are distributed on the base frame. One end of each segmented wire is connected to an indicator light. Each placement slot has a connecting component that connects the segmented wires.

[0009] Furthermore, the blood collection tube is inserted into the placement slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting component includes a movable plate, a spring, a fixed base, and a terminal block. The movable plate is used to receive the blood collection tube and is slidably connected to the inside of the placement groove. Springs are connected to both symmetrical sides of the bottom end of the movable plate, and a fixed base is connected to the bottom end of the spring. The fixed base is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the placement groove, and a terminal block is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the movable plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the movable plate is made of insulating material.

[0012] Furthermore, the shape and size of the bottom end of the terminal block match the segmentation point of the segmented conductor.

[0013] Furthermore, a battery box is fixedly installed on one side of the box base, and a storage battery is installed inside the battery box. The storage battery is connected to the segmented wires through a shunt connecting wire.

[0014] Furthermore, an equipment plate is fixedly installed on the other side of the box base, and multiple sets of indicator lights are fixedly installed on the top of the equipment plate, with each set of indicator lights corresponding to a row of placement slots.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, different colored rings are used to distinguish the placement slots in different columns. By setting different colored caps at the top of the blood collection tubes, the blood collection tubes can be distinguished. The color of the colored rings in the same row is the same as the color of the caps, which can effectively separate the blood collection tubes and prevent them from being placed in a mess.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, when the blood collection tube is placed into the placement slot, the blood collection tube presses against the movable plate by its own weight. The movable plate descends, which in turn drives the wiring terminal down until the wiring terminal contacts the segment of the segmented wire. When all the blood collection tubes in a row are placed, the segmented wires in this row will be fully connected. At this time, the indicator light will light up to remind the staff that all the blood collection tubes in this row have been used, further reducing the possibility of accidental removal.

[0025] The utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 According to an embodiment of this utility model, a spare blood collection tube box includes a base frame 1 and blood collection tubes 4. The blood collection tubes 4 are neatly arranged in rows on the base frame 1. Multiple placement slots 2 are provided on the base frame 1, arranged in rows. Color rings 3 are fixedly installed at the top of each placement slot 2. The color rings 3 arranged in rows are different colors, while those arranged in columns are the same color. A tube cap 5 is installed at the top of each blood collection tube 4. The tube caps 5 are color-differentiated, with different colors for rows and the same color for columns. The use of different colored caps 5 at the top of the blood collection tubes 4 distinguishes them, and the color of the caps 5 matches the color of the corresponding color ring 3 on the placement slot 2. Placing blood collection tubes 4 of the same color into the placement slot 2 ensures orderly placement and retrieval. Furthermore, one row of blood collection tubes 4 corresponds to one patient, and the color on the blood collection tube 4 matches the color on the placement slot 2 for easy identification and placement, reducing the possibility of misplacement.

[0027] The bottom frame 1 has segmented wires 10 distributed on it. One end of each segmented wire 10 is connected to an indicator light 13. Each placement slot 2 is equipped with a connecting component, which connects the segmented wires 10. When a row of placement slots 2 is filled with blood collection tubes 4, the connecting components will completely connect the segmented wires 10. At this time, current flows into the indicator light 13, and the indicator light 13 lights up to further remind the staff.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the blood collection tube 4 is inserted into the placement slot 2, which facilitates the placement and removal of the blood collection tube 4.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the connecting component includes a movable plate 6, a spring 7, a fixed base 8, and a terminal block 9. The movable plate 6 is used to receive the blood collection tubes 4, and the movable plate 6 is slidably connected to the inside of the placement groove 2. Springs 7 are connected to the two symmetrical sides of the bottom end of the movable plate 6, and the bottom end of the springs 7 is connected to the fixed base 8. The fixed base 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the placement groove 2. The terminal block 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the movable plate 6. The movable plate 6 is made of insulating material. The shape and size of the bottom end of the terminal block 9 match the segmented part of the segmented wire 10. When the blood collection tubes 4 are placed into the placement groove 2, the blood collection tubes 4 squeeze the movable plate 6 by their own weight, and the movable plate 6 descends, thereby driving the terminal block 9 to descend until the terminal block 9 contacts the segmented part of the segmented wire 10. When a row of blood collection tubes 4 are all placed in, the segmented wire 10 on this row will be fully connected, and the indicator light 13 will light up at this time.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a battery box 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the box base 1. A storage battery is installed inside the battery box 11. The storage battery is connected to the segmented wire 10 through a shunt connecting wire. The storage battery can provide power for the operation of the indicator light 13.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, an equipment plate 12 is fixedly installed on the other side of the box base 1. Multiple sets of indicator lights 13 are fixedly installed on the top of the equipment plate 12, and each set of indicator lights 13 corresponds to a row of placement slots 2.

[0032] The working principle of the blood collection tube spare box of this utility model patent is as follows: Figure 1As shown, the X direction is called a column, and the Y direction is called a row. The same row of placement slots 2 consists of different colored rings 3. Different colored caps 5 are installed at the top of the blood collection tubes 4 to distinguish them. The color of the rings 3 in the same row matches the color of the caps 5, effectively separating the blood collection tubes 4 and preventing them from being placed haphazardly. During use, the operator removes the blood collection tubes 4 from one end of the same row to the other. As the blood collection tubes 4 are removed, the movable plate 6 loses pressure, the spring 7 extends, and the terminal 9 moves upward. The terminal 9 moves upward and separates from the segmented wire 10. The segmented wire 10 breaks and cannot form a complete circuit, so the indicator light 13 does not light up. After blood collection is completed, the blood collection tube 4 is returned to its original position. When the blood collection tube 4 is placed in the placement slot 2, it presses against the movable plate 6 under its own weight. The movable plate 6 descends, which in turn drives the terminal 9 to descend until the terminal 9 contacts the segment of the segmented wire 10. When all the blood collection tubes 4 in a row are placed in the same row of placement slots 2, the segmented wires 10 in this row will be fully connected. At this time, the indicator light 13 will light up to remind the staff that the patient's blood sample collection is complete. In addition, if there is no blood in the blood collection tube 4, even if the blood collection tube 4 is placed inside the placement slot 2, the overall weight of the blood collection tube 4 is small at this time, and it cannot cause the terminal 9 to descend completely to match the segment of the segmented wire 10. At this time, it is still in an open circuit state, and the indicator light 13 will not light up.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
