Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of storage device technology, and in particular relates to a storage device for radioactive drug injections. Background Technology

[0002] Targeted testing is a precision detection technology that targets specific targets or markers. It aims to identify diseases, abnormalities, or potential risks through highly specific methods. By using radioactive injections, radioactive substances can be concentrated in cancerous areas of the patient's body, clearly identifying and judging cancerous lesions.

[0003] Because the radioactive injections used contain radioactive elements such as molybdenum and technetium, special lead protective equipment is required for storage and transportation during the injection process.

[0004] In the existing technology, after the injections are produced, each injection is placed in a cylindrical lead protective sleeve and sealed for storage. The cancer hospital produces 160 injections per day, requiring 240 lead protective sleeves to operate the production. During the supply process to the hospital, multiple injections need to be placed in lead protective sleeves separately and then shipped to the hospital in a unified batch.

[0005] This method has the following drawbacks: First, during actual transportation, each syringe uses an individual lead protective sleeve. Transporting multiple syringes together during transit adds considerable weight and causes inconvenience. Furthermore, each syringe requires opening a new lead protective sleeve, which is heavy and inconvenient for transport, while also taking up additional storage space. Second, during use, medical staff must unscrew the sleeve, remove the syringe, and then replace it. This repeated process increases the radiation exposure time for medical staff when handling multiple syringes.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] The prior art in this embodiment has the following problems: The inventors have found the following defects in the prior art: 1. In actual transportation, each syringe uses a separate lead protective sleeve. These individually packaged syringes, when transported together, will occupy a considerable weight, causing inconvenience during handling. At the same time, each syringe needs to be opened, and these lead protective sleeves are heavy, causing inconvenience in transportation and occupying additional storage space. 2. During use, medical staff need to unscrew the protective sleeve to take out the syringe from the individual lead protective sleeve, then take out the syringe, and then close the protective sleeve again. The same operation needs to be performed every time a syringe is taken out, which increases the time of radiation exposure for medical staff when taking out multiple syringes, resulting in increased radiation exposure. 3. After taking out the syringe, medical staff need to mark the unused lead protective sleeve, making the recording work cumbersome. At the same time, the unified storage device lacks a prompt structure to remind medical staff whether the lead protective sleeve is closed tightly, which reduces the user experience of the device.

[0028] Therefore, as Figures 1 to 8 As shown: The inventor provides a storage device for radioactive drug injections, including a box body 1, a box lid 2, a lead protective plate 3, and a device body. The box lid 2 is hinged to the right side of the box body 1. A silicone pad (not shown in the figure) is placed between the box body 1 and the box lid 2. The lead protective plate 3 is placed inside the box body 1 and the box lid 2. The device body is placed inside the box body 1. The device body also includes an injection storage plate and a sliding groove 4. The sliding groove 4 is respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the inside of the box body 1, and the injection storage plate is slidably mounted on the sliding groove 4 for easy access. The box body 1 also includes a marking mechanism and a prompting mechanism. The structure includes a marking mechanism located on the rear left side of the housing 1, and a prompting mechanism located on the rear right side of the housing 1. The marking mechanism includes a counting plate 18. The prompting mechanism also includes a trigger rod 19, a spring 20, a contact sensor 21, and a buzzer 22. The trigger rod 19 is slidably disposed inside the side of the housing 1 where the buckle is located. The trigger rod 19 is connected to the housing 1 by the spring 20. The right end of the trigger rod 19 is provided with a contact sensor 21. The buzzer 22 is disposed inside the upper part of the housing 1. The buzzer 22 and the contact sensor 21 are electrically connected to a power supply (not shown in the figure).

[0029] Using the above method, when in use, open the lid 2 and take out the syringe storage plate from the slide 4 in the box 1. Place the batch of syringes to be transferred on the syringe protective plate, put the full syringe storage plate back into the box 1 through the slide 4, close the lid 2 and isolate radiation with the lead protective plate 3. Transfer multiple syringes to the place of use using one storage device. When in use, open the lid 2 and take out different numbers of syringes from the syringe storage plates of different layers. After taking them out, mark them on the corresponding marking mechanism. The reminder mechanism will remind the staff to take them out if the lid 2 is not closed tightly.

[0030] Based on the set up injection storage plates, corresponding counting plates 18 are set at corresponding positions on the outside of the box 1. When injections are put in and taken out, the numbers are moved to the corresponding positions to mark them, so that medical staff can quickly identify the number of remaining injections in the box 1.

[0031] Spring 20 pushes trigger rod 19 outward toward housing 1, so that the end of trigger rod 19 is in contact with sensor 21 when not under pressure. When medical staff close housing 2, housing 2 pushes trigger rod 19 to the left, and the left end of trigger rod 19 presses against contact sensor 21, generating a trigger signal to control buzzer 22. When housing 2 is not closed, trigger rod 19 is not under pressure, and contact sensor 21 controls buzzer 22 to start, emitting a sound to remind medical staff that housing 1 is not closed. When medical staff receive the reminder and close housing 2, housing 2 presses trigger rod 19, causing buzzer 22 to turn off, indicating that housing 1 and housing 2 are closed. This reminds medical staff to close housing 1 after use to prevent accidents caused by continuous radiation from injections due to operational negligence.

[0032] Furthermore, handles 5 are provided on the front and rear sides of the box body 1;

[0033] The box 1 contains multiple syringes, resulting in a large storage space. Consequently, the lead protective plate 3 has a large area, making the overall weight of the device heavy. The handle 5 facilitates the movement of the device.

[0034] Furthermore, the connection between the box body 1 and the box cover 2 is made of a snap fastener 6;

[0035] The box body 1 and the box lid 2 are connected by a hinge. When the box lid 2 is closed, it is closed by a buckle. The buckle is easy to use and convenient to open when needed.

[0036] Furthermore, the injection storage plate also includes a guide mechanism, storage slots 7, slide bars 8, rollers 9, a base plate 10, side plates 11, and a moving slot 12. The guide mechanism is located on the upper left side of the base plate 10, and the storage slots 7 are respectively located on the right side of the guide mechanism. The storage slots 7 are connected by hinges. The slide bars 8 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the storage slots 7. The rollers 9 are respectively located on the sides of the slide bars 8. The side plates 11 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the base plate 10. A slide rail that is slidably connected to the slide slot 4 is provided on the lower side of the side of the side plate 11. The moving slot 12 is located on the side of the side plate 11, and the rollers 9 are slidably connected inside the moving slot 12.

[0037] Several storage slots 7 are hinged to the base plate 10 and can hold injections individually. This allows multiple injections to be placed in the same device, saving weight and space compared to individual packaging. The storage slots 7 slide within the moving grooves 12 of the side plate 11 via slide rods 8 and rollers 9. A rolling structure with resistance is provided between the rollers 9 and the slide rails of the side plate to ensure rolling while preventing loosening or displacement during normal storage. The storage slots 7 can be moved below the base plate 10 under the guidance mechanism. When retrieving the injections stored in the device, after the injection closest to the lid 2 in a single layer is taken out, the storage slot 7 can be pulled out and slid down to the base plate 10, allowing the innermost storage slot 7 to be pulled out for easy access next time. This saves time from pulling out the entire injection storage plate to reach the innermost injections, reducing the time medical staff are exposed to radiation during the retrieval process.

[0038] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism also includes a fixed plate 13, a telescopic sleeve rod 14, and a pull plate 15. The fixed plate 13 is located on the left side of the base plate 10. The telescopic sleeve rod 14 is composed of sleeve rods of different diameters that are slidably connected. The telescopic sleeve rod 14 is located on the right side of the fixed plate 13. The pull plate 15 is located on the right side of the telescopic sleeve rod 14. The pull plate 15 is hinged to the storage groove 7 on the right side.

[0039] When the storage tank 7 is moved, the telescopic sleeve 14 extends on the fixed rod, guiding the storage tank 7 to move parallel to the right. When the injection is filled in the production workshop, the telescopic sleeve 14 and the storage tank 7 are retracted by pulling the pull plate 15, pulling all the storage tanks 7 back to the top of the bottom plate 10, so that the production personnel can fill the storage tank 7 with the injection.

[0040] Furthermore, the storage slot 7 also includes a card slot 16 and a retrieval slot 17. The card slot 16 is provided on the storage slot 7 and a buckle is provided inside the card slot 16. The retrieval slot 17 is located in the middle of the storage slot 7.

[0041] When the injection is placed in the storage slot 7, the head ring of the syringe is inserted into the slot 16 to secure the injection. When the injection is taken out, it is removed from the slot 16 through the take-out slot 17, so that the injection is placed stably and can be taken out easily.

[0042] In summary, this device is equipped with an injection storage plate and a chute 4, which allows multiple injections to be placed in the same device, saving weight and space compared to individual packaging. It also facilitates retrieval, reducing the time medical personnel are exposed to radiation during the retrieval process. Furthermore, it includes a marking and reminder mechanism to allow medical personnel to quickly identify the number of remaining injections in the container 1 and remind them to close the container 1 after use, preventing accidents caused by continuous radiation from the injections due to operational negligence.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model:

[0044] When filling the injections in the production workshop, by pulling the pull plate 15, the telescopic sleeve 14 and the storage slot 7 are retracted, and all the storage slots 7 are pulled back to the top of the bottom plate 10. The production personnel insert the head ring handle of the syringe into the slot 16 to fix the injection with the buckle. After the single-layer injection storage plate is filled, it is inserted back into the box 1 through the slide 4. After all the injection storage plates are filled, the box cover 2 is closed with the buckle to complete the filling.

[0045] The device was then transferred to a trolley via handle 5 and transported to the hospital.

[0046] In hospitals, when medical staff retrieve injections, after the injection closest to the lid 2 is taken out, the storage slot 7 is pulled out and slid down to the bottom plate 10 times to pull out the innermost storage slot 7, making it convenient to retrieve it next time. This saves the time of pulling out the entire injection storage plate to get the innermost injection when retrieving injections, reducing the time that medical staff are exposed to radiation during the retrieval process and reducing the radiation exposure.

[0047] When taking out the injection, mark the corresponding position with a number to help medical staff quickly identify the number of injections remaining in box 1. When the box lid 2 is not closed, the trigger rod 19 is not pressed, and the contact sensor 21 controls the buzzer 22 to start, emitting an sound to remind medical staff that box 1 is not closed. When medical staff receive the reminder and close the box lid 2, the box lid 2 presses down the trigger rod 19, causing the buzzer 22 to turn off, indicating that box 1 and box lid 2 are closed. This reminds medical staff to close box 1 after use to prevent accidents caused by continuous radiation from the injection due to operational negligence.

[0048] Before using the device, the cancer hospital produced 160 injections daily, requiring 240 lead protective sleeves for operation. Each sleeve cost 200 yuan, totaling 48,000 yuan. After using the device, each injection box can hold 30 injections at 3,100 yuan. Two batches of six boxes cost only 18,600 yuan to meet production and transportation needs. This saves 29,400 yuan in packaging costs alone. Furthermore, it improves transportation efficiency, allowing one person to deliver to multiple hospitals, saving labor costs.

[0049] This concludes the description of the working principle of the device.
