Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage box technology, specifically a short-term sampling storage box for urine testing in urology. Background Technology

[0002] Urine tests are a common diagnostic method in urology, including routine urinalysis, detection of formed elements in urine (such as red blood cells and white blood cells), quantitative determination of protein components, and urine enzyme measurement. They are of great value in clinical diagnosis, assessment of treatment efficacy, and prognosis. The collected samples are generally stored in test tubes.

[0003] After sampling, test tubes are mostly placed in simple storage racks. These racks offer poor support, making them difficult to handle during transport and posing a risk of tipping over. Furthermore, the racks lack protective structures, exposing the samples to the outside environment, which may lead to dust contamination. While sealing all samples provides better protection, the odor of urine can still frequently permeate the sealed containers, increasing over time. When opened, this odor can spread directly into the surrounding environment, causing air pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a short-term sampling and storage box for urine testing in urology, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a short-term storage box for urine sampling in urology, comprising an outer shell, the outer shell being a square component with an open front end, a fixing frame being provided inside the outer shell, two support members being provided inside the fixing frame, the two support members being distributed from top to bottom, a plurality of placement holes being provided on the top of the two support members, a turntable being provided at the front end of each of the two support members, the turntable extending into the interior of the fixing frame, a protrusion being provided at the top of the turntable, an arc-shaped cavity matching the protrusion being opened inside the fixing frame, a fan assembly being provided on one side of the outer shell, and a ventilated frame being provided on the other side of the outer shell.

[0006] Preferably, magnets are provided on both sides of the protrusion and at opposite ends inside the arc-shaped cavity. Through holes are provided at the front end of the protrusion and the front end of the outer shell near the turntable. When the turntable rotates, the protrusion is limited by the arc-shaped cavity, thus restricting the rotation angle of the turntable. When the protrusion rotates with the turntable to one side of the arc-shaped cavity, causing the support to tilt, the magnet on one side of the protrusion and the corresponding magnet inside the arc-shaped cavity engage and lock. Then, a column is inserted at the through hole for reinforcement, so that the test tube can be inserted into the placement hole. After placement, the column is pulled out, and then the turntable rotates to make the support horizontal, preventing the sample inside the test tube from tipping over during transport.

[0007] Preferably, a handle is provided at the top of the outer shell, a pull handle is provided at the front end of the fixed frame, and an auxiliary block is provided at the front end of both turntables. When taking out the storage box, it can be taken out by the handle, and when it is necessary to pull out the fixed frame, it can be pulled by the pull handle. The auxiliary block is used to assist in rotating the turntable, making the operation of the device more convenient.

[0008] Preferably, the fixed frame below the support member is provided with two reinforcing columns inside, and the bottom of the outer shell is provided with a cavity that matches the reinforcing columns. When the fixed frame is retracted into the outer shell, the two reinforcing columns are inserted into the cavity. When the fixed frame is pulled to extend out of the outer shell, the reinforcing columns extend out of the cavity, with one end of the reinforcing column inside the cavity, thus reinforcing the fixed frame.

[0009] Preferably, a flip-locking block is provided at the top front edge of the outer shell, and an insert block matching the flip-locking block is provided at the front end of the fixing frame. When the fixing frame is stored inside the outer shell, the flip-locking block can be flipped and fitted onto the outside of the insert block to lock the fixing frame and prevent the fixing frame from moving on its own.

[0010] Preferably, activated carbon is placed inside the ventilated frame. When the blower assembly blows air onto the sample, the gas passes through the ventilated frame and is discharged to the outside. The activated carbon adsorbs the odor in the gas.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This short-term sample storage box for urine testing in urology works by using an outer shell and a fixed frame. The fixed frame extends out of the shell for placing or retrieving sample tubes. Inside the fixed frame, two rotatable support members are connected. These two support members are limited by a turntable, a protrusion, and an arc-shaped cavity. When placing or retrieving sample tubes, the support members rotate, tilting their tops to facilitate placement and retrieval and reduce interference. When placing, the support members rotate to a horizontal position, making the storage box easy to use and convenient for retrieving or placing test tubes. At the same time, the test tubes are stably placed during transport, preventing them from tipping over, and the outer shell protects the samples from contamination.

[0013] This short-term storage box for urine testing in urology uses a fan assembly on one side of the outer shell and a ventilated frame on the other side. When the sample tube needs to be removed from the outer shell, the fan assembly blows air onto the sample, allowing odorous gas to pass through the ventilated frame. The odor in the gas is absorbed by activated carbon, preventing the accumulated odor gas from spreading and polluting the surrounding environment after the outer shell is opened.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, this embodiment of a short-term storage box for urine testing in urology includes an outer shell 1, which is a square component with an open front end. A fixing frame 6 is provided inside the outer shell 1. When storing sample tubes, the fixing frame 6 is housed inside the outer shell 1, protecting the sample tubes and preventing them from being damaged during transport. Two support members 3 are provided inside the fixing frame 6, distributed from top to bottom. Several placement holes 5 are arranged on the top of the two support members 3. The interior of the placement holes 5 is roughened. During sampling, the fixing frame 6 is pulled out from inside the outer shell 1, and then the sample tube is inserted into the placement hole 5 for fixation. A turntable 13 is provided at the front end of each of the two support members 3, extending into the interior of the fixing frame 6. The support members 3 are rotatably connected to the interior of the fixing frame 6. The top of the support 3 is provided with a protrusion 15, and the inside of the fixed frame 6 is provided with an arc-shaped cavity 17 that matches the protrusion 15. The protrusion 15 and the arc-shaped cavity 17 work together to limit the turntable 13, so that the turntable 13 can rotate at a certain angle, making the top of the support 3 tilt, which makes it easier to insert the sample tube into the placement hole 5 and reduce interference. A fan assembly 2 is provided on one side of the outer shell 1. The fan assembly 2 is composed of a fan, a rechargeable battery, a control switch, etc. An air inlet is provided on one side, and a dustproof filter structure is required inside the air inlet. A vent frame 8 is provided on the other side of the outer shell 1. Activated carbon is placed inside the vent frame 8. Since the urine sample from the urology department contains an odor, the fan assembly 2 blows air on the sample during transportation, so that the gas mixed with the odor passes through the vent frame 8, and the odor in the gas is adsorbed by the activated carbon.

[0023] Specifically, magnets 16 are provided on both sides of the protrusion 15 and at opposite ends inside the arc cavity 17. Through holes 14 are provided at the front end of the protrusion 15 and the front end of the outer shell 1 near the turntable 13. When the turntable 13 rotates, the protrusion 15 is limited by the arc cavity 17, thus limiting the rotation angle of the turntable 13. When the protrusion 15 rotates with the turntable 13 to one side of the arc cavity 17, causing the support 3 to tilt, the magnet 16 on one side of the protrusion 15 and the corresponding magnet 16 inside the arc cavity 17 are engaged and locked. Then, a column is inserted at the through hole 14 for reinforcement, so that the test tube can be inserted into the placement hole 5. After placement, the column is pulled out, and then the turntable 13 rotates to make the support 3 horizontal, preventing the sample inside the test tube from tipping over during transport.

[0024] Furthermore, a handle 9 is provided at the top of the outer shell 1, a handle 10 is provided at the front end of the fixed frame 6, and an auxiliary block 18 is provided at the front end of both turntables 13. When taking out the storage box, it can be taken out through the handle 9, and when it is necessary to pull out the fixed frame 6, it can be pulled out through the handle 10. The auxiliary block 18 is used to assist in rotating the turntable 13, making the operation of the device more convenient.

[0025] Furthermore, two reinforcing columns 11 are provided inside the fixing frame 6 below the support member 3, and a cavity 12 matching the reinforcing columns 11 is provided at the bottom of the outer shell 1. When the fixing frame 6 is stored inside the outer shell 1, the two reinforcing columns 11 are inserted into the cavity 12. When the fixing frame 6 is pulled to extend it out of the outer shell 1, the reinforcing columns 11 extend out of the cavity 12, and one end of the reinforcing column 11 is inside the cavity 12 to reinforce the fixing frame 6.

[0026] Furthermore, a flip-locking block 7 is provided at the top front edge of the outer shell 1, and an insert 4 matching the flip-locking block 7 is provided at the front end of the fixing frame 6. When the fixing frame 6 is stored inside the outer shell 1, the flip-locking block 7 can be flipped and fitted onto the outside of the insert 4 to lock the fixing frame 6 and prevent the fixing frame 6 from moving on its own.

[0027] Furthermore, activated carbon is placed inside the breathable frame 8, which is in the form of breathable mesh filled with activated carbon. When the blower assembly 2 blows air onto the sample, the gas will pass through the breathable frame 8 and be discharged to the outside. The activated carbon will adsorb the odor in the gas.

[0028] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: When performing urological urine sampling, pull the fixing frame 6 to extend it outside the outer shell 1. At this time, the two support members 3 are located outside. Then, remove the column of the locking protrusion 15, rotate the auxiliary block 18 to make the support member 3 tilted. At this time, the magnet 16 on one side of the protrusion 15 and the corresponding magnet 16 inside the arc cavity 17 are attached and locked. Then, insert the column into another through hole 14 to fix the protrusion 15. The sample tube can be inserted into the placement hole 5 at the top of the support member 3. The support member 3 is tilted to reduce interference during placement. After placement, first remove the locking column, then... Rotate the auxiliary block 18 to make the support 3 horizontal, and then push the fixing frame 6 into the outer shell 1 to prevent the sample inside the test tube from tipping over during transportation. During short-term storage, since urological urine samples contain odors, in order to prevent the odor accumulated inside the outer shell 1 from overflowing and causing environmental pollution after the fixing frame 6 is opened and pulled out, the staff can first turn on the fan assembly 2. The fan assembly 2 blows air into the entire interior of the outer shell 1, allowing the gas mixed with odors to pass through the breathable frame 8. The odor in the gas will be adsorbed by activated carbon, thereby achieving a certain purification effect and avoiding encountering a strong odor when the fixing frame 6 is pulled out.

[0029] 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.
