Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a storage device, specifically a storage device for procalcitonin, belonging to the field of procalcitonin detection technology. Background Technology

[0002] Procalcitonin (PCT) is a protein whose plasma levels rise in severe bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, as well as in sepsis and multiple organ failure. PCT levels do not rise in autoimmune diseases, allergic reactions, or viral infections. Localized bacterial infections, mild infections, and chronic inflammation do not cause PCT elevation. Bacterial endotoxins play a crucial role in the induction process.

[0003] Chinese Patent Application Publication No. CN214201502U discloses a monitorable storage device for procalcitonin detection. This invention allows a fixed rod to descend and contact a turntable during the injection of a certain amount of procalcitonin into the sample tube, enabling monitoring of the injection process and ensuring accurate measurement of the injected amount. This provides excellent preparation conditions for procalcitonin detection.

[0004] While the above-mentioned patented solution allows for monitoring of the calcitonin injection process, the storage device in the patented solution has multiple trays that are too close together, making it inconvenient to store and retrieve the test tubes. When retrieving the tubes, it is easy to touch adjacent test tubes, leading to cross-contamination of the liquid inside the test tubes. Furthermore, the test tube trays are not easy to adjust according to the height of the test tubes.

[0005] Therefore, a storage device for procalcitonin is proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention proposes a storage device for calcitonin, which can adjust the distance between adjacent support sleeves according to the needs of test tube storage, so as to prevent test tubes from touching other test tubes when they are picked up, and can also adjust the storage device according to the length of different test tubes.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a calcitonin storage device, including a protective frame, a support frame fixed inside the protective frame, transmission grooves on both the upper and lower sides of the support frame, a set of support sleeves sliding on the top surface of the support frame, a transmission assembly for moving the support sleeves inside the protective frame, the transmission assembly including a limiting sleeve fixedly sleeved inside the support frame, a movable sleeve slidably sleeved inside the limiting sleeve, a movable frame fixedly attached to the end of the movable sleeve away from the limiting sleeve, and the movable frame sliding inside the support frame, a limiting groove opened inside the movable frame, a support block slidably connected inside the limiting groove, a connecting rod fixedly sleeved inside the support block, and the top end of the connecting rod fixed to the bottom surface of the support sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, both the upper and lower ends of the connecting rod are rotatably sleeved with limit blocks, and the limit blocks are slidably connected inside the transmission groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission assembly also includes a limiting frame fixed to one side of the support frame. A threaded rod is rotatably sleeved inside the limiting frame. The threaded rod is threaded inside the movable sleeve. The end of the threaded rod away from the movable sleeve rotatably passes through the protective frame and is fixedly sleeved with a transmission wheel.

[0010] Furthermore, the two ends of the movable frame slide against the inner sidewall of the support frame, enabling the movable frame to move horizontally inside the support frame.

[0011] The support sleeve is provided with an extension assembly for supporting the test tube. The extension assembly includes a threaded sleeve fixedly sleeved around the support sleeve. The extension sleeve is threaded around the threaded sleeve. A support collar is fixed at the top of the extension sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, a set of elastic plates is fixed to the inner sidewalls of both the support collar and the support sleeve, and the inner diameter of the support collar is the same as the inner diameter of the support sleeve. A spacer is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the support sleeve.

[0013] Furthermore, an anti-slip ring is fixed to the periphery of the extension sleeve, and the anti-slip ring is located at the bottom end of the extension sleeve.

[0014] This invention provides a storage device for calcitonin, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This calcitonin storage device uses a rotating drive wheel to rotate a threaded rod inside a limiting frame, which in turn drives a movable sleeve to slide inside the limiting sleeve. This allows the movable frame to move inside a support frame. The supporting block and connecting rod drive the limiting block to slide inside a transmission groove, allowing the supporting sleeve to move on the surface of the support frame. The distance between adjacent supporting sleeves can be adjusted according to the needs of test tube storage. When the distance between adjacent supporting sleeves increases, it prevents test tubes from touching other test tubes when they are picked up. When the distance between adjacent supporting sleeves decreases, it facilitates the operator's observation of adjacent test tubes.

[0016] The original storage device for calcitonin uses a rotating anti-slip collar to make the extension sleeve rotate around the threaded sleeve, and the extension sleeve drives the support collar to move upward, which can increase the distance between the support collar and the support sleeve, so as to make the storage device adjustable according to the length of different test tubes and increase the stability of the storage device for test tube placement.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention proposes the following implementation scheme: a calcitonin storage device, including a protective frame 1, a support frame 2 fixed inside the protective frame 1, transmission grooves 21 on both the upper and lower sides of the support frame 2, a set of support sleeves 3 sliding on the top surface of the support frame 2, a transmission assembly 4 for moving the support sleeves 3 inside the protective frame 1, the transmission assembly 4 including a limiting sleeve 41 fixedly sleeved inside the support frame 2, a movable sleeve 42 slidably sleeved inside the limiting sleeve 41, a movable frame 43 fixedly sleeved at the end of the movable sleeve 42 away from the limiting sleeve 41, and the movable frame 43 sliding inside the support frame 2, a limiting groove 44 opened inside the movable frame 43, a support block 45 slidably connected inside the limiting groove 44, a connecting rod 46 fixedly sleeved inside the support block 45, and the top end of the connecting rod 46 fixed to the bottom surface of the support sleeve 3.

[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3Both ends of the connecting rod 46 are rotatably sleeved with limit blocks 47, and the limit blocks 47 are slidably connected inside the transmission groove 21.

[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission assembly 4 also includes a limiting frame 49 fixed to one side of the support frame 2. A threaded rod 48 is rotatably sleeved inside the limiting frame 49. The threaded rod 48 is threadedly sleeved inside the movable sleeve 42. The end of the threaded rod 48 away from the movable sleeve 42 rotatably passes through the protective frame 1 and is fixedly sleeved with a transmission wheel 40.

[0030] The two ends of the movable frame 43 slide against the inner wall of the support frame 2, so that the movable frame 43 can move horizontally inside the support frame 2.

[0031] In the above scheme, the rotating transmission wheel 40 drives the threaded rod 48 to rotate, and drives the movable sleeve 42 to slide inside the limiting sleeve 41, so that the movable frame 43 moves inside the support frame 2. The support block 45 and the connecting rod 46 drive the limiting block 47 to slide inside the transmission groove 21, so that the support sleeve 3 moves on the surface of the support frame 2. The distance between adjacent support sleeves 3 can be adjusted according to the needs of test tube storage.

[0032] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 4 The support sleeve 3 is provided with an extension component 5 for supporting the test tube. The extension component 5 includes a threaded sleeve 51 fixedly sleeved around the support sleeve 3. An extension sleeve 52 is threaded around the threaded sleeve 51. A support collar 53 is fixed at the top of the extension sleeve 52.

[0033] Both the inner walls of the support collar 53 and the support sleeve 3 are fixed with a set of elastic plates 6, and the inner diameter of the support collar 53 is the same as the inner diameter of the support sleeve 3. The inner bottom wall of the support sleeve 3 is fixed with a spacer 55.

[0034] An anti-slip ring 54 is fixed around the periphery of the extension sleeve 52, and the anti-slip ring 54 is located at the bottom end of the extension sleeve 52.

[0035] In the above scheme, rotating the anti-slip collar 54 causes the extension sleeve 52 to rotate around the threaded sleeve 51, and the extension sleeve 52 drives the support collar 53 to move upward, which can increase the distance between the support collar 53 and the support sleeve 3.

[0036] In use, this invention involves rotating the anti-slip collar 54 to cause the extension sleeve 52 to rotate around the threaded sleeve 51, and the extension sleeve 52 to drive the support collar 53 to move upward, increasing the distance between the support collar 53 and the support sleeve 3. This allows for adjustment of the storage device according to the length of different test tubes, increasing the stability of the storage device for test tube placement. The rotating transmission wheel 40 drives the threaded rod 48 to rotate inside the limiting frame 49, and drives the moving sleeve 42 to slide inside the limiting sleeve 41, causing the moving frame 43 to move inside the support frame 2. The support block 45 and connecting rod 46 drive the limiting block 47 to slide inside the transmission groove 21, causing the support sleeve 3 to move on the surface of the support frame 2. This allows for adjustment of the distance between adjacent support sleeves 3 according to the needs of test tube storage. When the distance between adjacent support sleeves 3 increases, it prevents test tubes from touching other test tubes when being retrieved. When the distance between adjacent support sleeves 3 decreases, it facilitates observation of adjacent test tubes by the operator.
