Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sample delivery boxes, specifically relating to a pathological sample delivery box. Background Technology
[0002] Pathological specimen delivery boxes are specialized containers used for storing and transporting pathological specimens to ensure specimen quality, prevent cross-contamination, and ensure safe transportation. They provide suitable temperature, humidity, and a sterile environment to ensure the quality and integrity of pathological samples such as tissues and cells during the delivery process, and to prevent the samples from deteriorating, drying out, or becoming contaminated.
[0003] Existing pathology sample delivery boxes, through multiple ice packs and insulated boxes, aim to preserve pathology samples in a low-temperature environment to maintain the activity of biomolecules and the integrity of cell structure, prevent sample deterioration and degradation, and ensure the accuracy of subsequent test results. However, since multiple insulated boxes are placed around the transport container, but not on the top, the insulation effect at the top is relatively weak, resulting in uneven temperature distribution inside the transport container. When the outside temperature is high, heat is more easily transferred from the top into the transport container, causing the internal temperature to rise and disrupting the originally stable low-temperature environment inside the transport container, affecting the preservation quality of the sample. This problem of top temperature imbalance is even more pronounced during long-term transport or transport under high-temperature conditions. Therefore, this utility model proposes a pathology sample delivery box. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pathological specimen delivery box to solve the problem mentioned in the background art, where multiple ice boxes are only placed around the perimeter of the transport container during use, resulting in uneven temperature distribution inside the transport container.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pathological specimen delivery box, comprising a box body and a top cover disposed on the top of the box body. An insulated box is installed inside the box body, and symmetrical placement slots are provided on the inner side of the insulated box. A transport container is disposed on the inner side of each of the symmetrical placement slots. An insulated cover is installed on the inner side of the top cover, and an ice box body is disposed on the insulated cover. A limiting groove is provided on the inner side of the insulated cover, and the bottom end of the ice box body is engaged with the limiting groove. A fixing groove is provided on the side of the ice box body and on the side of the cover body, and a side rod is disposed on the inner side of the fixing groove.
[0006] Preferably, the length of the side rod is the same as the length of the cover.
[0007] Preferably, a fixing component is provided at the bottom end of the side rod and inside the fixing groove. The fixing component consists of a silicone block and a groove. The groove is opened inside the fixing groove, and the silicone block is disposed inside the groove. The bottom end of the side rod is fixed to the silicone block.
[0008] Preferably, the surface of the silicone block is in contact with the inner wall of the groove.
[0009] Preferably, the insulated box has storage slots on both sides of its interior, and multiple ice boxes are installed inside the storage slots.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the ice box is symmetrically provided with slots that are adapted to the size of the top of the transport tank.
[0011] Preferably, the outer side of the insulated box and the inner wall of the box body are fitted with insulating cotton.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] By designing an ice pack, the original pathology sample delivery box improved upon the previous method, where ice packs were only placed around the transport container inside the box. This resulted in relatively weak insulation at the top of the transport container, leading to uneven temperature distribution. This temperature imbalance became more pronounced during long-term or high-temperature transport. By installing an ice pack on the top cover, the transport container, once inside the sample delivery box, achieves cooling of the pathology sample through the surrounding ice packs and the top ice pack. This enclosed design ensures even cooling of all parts of the transport container, preventing localized overheating or underheating and guaranteeing a consistent temperature environment for the sample during transport.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pathological specimen delivery box, including a box body 1 and a top cover 6 disposed on the top of the box body 1. An insulated box 2 is installed inside the box body 1, and symmetrical placement slots 21 are provided on the inner side of the insulated box 2. Transport containers 3 are disposed inside each of the symmetrical placement slots 21. An insulated cover 7 is installed on the inner side of the top cover 6, and an ice box body 8 is disposed on the insulated cover 7. A limiting groove 710 is provided on the inner side of the insulated cover 7, allowing the ice box body 8 and the cover body 71 to be engaged and installed through the limiting groove 710. The bottom end of the ice box body 8... The ice box body 8 is engaged with the limiting groove 710. A fixing groove 720 is provided on the side of the ice box body 8, located on the side of the cover 71. A side rod 72 is provided inside the fixing groove 720. This design of the ice box body 8 improves upon the previous method where ice boxes 4 were only placed around the transport container 3 inside the pathology sample delivery box. This resulted in relatively weak insulation at the top of the transport container 3, leading to uneven temperature distribution inside the container. This temperature imbalance at the top would be exacerbated during long-term transport or transport in high-temperature environments. The obvious problem is that by installing an ice box body 8 on the top cover 6, after the transport container 3 is placed inside the sample delivery box, the cooling effect of the pathological sample is achieved through the ice boxes 4 placed around the perimeter and the ice box body 8 on top. This enclosed design allows all parts of the transport container to be cooled evenly, avoiding localized excessively high or low temperatures and ensuring a consistent temperature environment for the sample during transportation. The length of the side rod 72 is the same as the length of the cover 71, and a fixing assembly is provided at the bottom of the side rod 72, inside the fixing groove 720. The side rod 72 seals the side of the connection between the ice box body 8 and the cover body 71. The fixing component consists of a silicone block and a groove 721. The groove 721 is opened inside the fixing groove 720. The silicone block is set inside the groove 721. The bottom end of the side rod 72 is fixed to the silicone block. The surface of the silicone block is in a close fit with the inner wall of the groove 721. The inside of the insulated box 2 has a storage slot 22 on both sides. Multiple ice boxes 4 are set inside the storage slot 22. The outer side of the insulated box 2 and the inner wall of the box body 1 are fitted with insulation cotton 5.
[0020] In this embodiment, preferably, the surface of the ice box body 8 is symmetrically provided with slots 81 that are adapted to the top size of the transport tank 3. When the top cover 6 is closed with the box body 1, the top of the transport tank 3 engages with the slots 81, so that the transport tank 3 can achieve enveloping cooling.
[0021] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: According to the temperature requirements of the sample, the ice box 4 and ice box body 8 are pre-cooled in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. According to the sample collection specifications, the pathological specimens are properly packed into the transport container 3, ensuring that the transport container 3 is well sealed. The pre-cooled ice box 4 and ice box body 8 are placed in the corresponding positions in the delivery box. During the installation of the ice box body 8, the ice box body 8 is slid into the inner side of the limiting groove 710 from the side of the insulation cover 7, and the side rod 72 is locked into the inner side of the fixing groove 720 to achieve the limiting. The silicone block at the bottom of the side rod 72 is locked into the inner side of the groove 721 to complete the installation of the ice box body 8. Then the top cover 6 is closed and locked for transportation.
[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
