[0040] The following description, in conjunction with Figures 1-5, describes a blood collection tube shaking system according to this invention. The blood collection tube shaking system includes: a housing 1, a driving device 2, and a tube clamp 3.

[0041] The housing 1 has a through hole; the drive device 2 is located inside the housing 1 and has an output shaft that passes through the through hole; the pipe clamp 3 is located on the outside of the housing 1 and is opposite to the through hole, and the output shaft is connected to the pipe clamp 3 to drive the pipe clamp 3 to rotate.

[0042] Specifically, the housing 1 is a cuboid housing, which can be composed of side walls, a top wall, and a bottom wall, and can be connected by bolts to form the housing 1 structure. The drive device 2 is installed inside the housing 1, and its output shaft extends out through a through hole and is connected to the tube clamp 3. The output shaft of the drive device 2 transmits rotational motion to the tube clamp 3, causing the tube clamp 3 to rotate. The tube clamp 3 is used to hold the blood collection tube 12, and by rotating the blood collection tube 12 through the tube clamp 3, the blood sample and the additives are mixed evenly.

[0043] Preferably, the rotation angle of the drive device 2 is 0-180°, and as needed, the drive device 2 drives the tube clamp 3 to rotate, and the blood collection tube 12 rotates several times. Generally, the number of times the blood collection tube 12 rotates should be selected according to the requirements in the instruction manual, usually 3 times, 5 times or 8 times.

[0044] In practical use, this invention is suitable for one-handed operation, which allows medical workers to stabilize the blood collection needle with one hand while placing the blood collection tube 12 onto the blood collection tube shaking system with the other hand during the blood collection process. This saves blood collection time, improves blood collection efficiency, and avoids damage to the collected blood sample caused by improper shaking operation.

[0045] As can be seen, the blood collection tube shaking system provided by this utility model provides the power for the rotation of the tube clamp 3 through the driving device 2, and the tube clamp 3 holds the blood collection tube 12 to rotate, thereby replacing the manual rotation of the blood collection tube 12. It is compact and lightweight, which can free medical workers from repetitive labor, standardize and regulate the blood collection tube shaking operation, and ensure the shaking effect of the blood collection tube 12. It is suitable for one-handed operation, which allows medical workers to stabilize the blood collection needle with one hand while placing the blood collection tube 12 on the blood collection tube shaking system with the other hand during the blood collection process, saving blood collection time, improving blood collection efficiency, and avoiding damage to the collected blood sample caused by improper shaking operation.

[0046] This utility model provides a blood collection tube shaking system, comprising: a housing 1, a driving device 2, and a tube clamp 3. The housing 1 has a through hole; the driving device 2 is located inside the housing 1 and has an output shaft passing through the through hole; the tube clamp 3 is located on the outside of the housing 1, opposite to the through hole, and the output shaft is connected to the tube clamp 3 to drive the tube clamp 3 to rotate. This blood collection tube shaking system provides the driving device 2 with the power to rotate the tube clamp 3, thereby replacing manual rotation of the blood collection tube. It is compact and lightweight, freeing medical workers from repetitive labor, standardizing and regulating the blood collection tube shaking operation, and ensuring effective shaking. It is suitable for one-handed operation, allowing medical workers to stabilize the blood collection needle with one hand while placing the blood collection tube on the shaking system with the other, saving blood collection time, improving efficiency, and avoiding damage to the collected blood sample caused by improper shaking.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, the blood collection tube shaking system further includes: a mounting base 4, which is rotatably disposed on the outside of the housing 1. The mounting base 4 has a connecting hole 41 on the side near the driving device 2. An output shaft is inserted into the connecting hole 41 to drive the mounting base 4 to rotate. A tube clamp 3 is fixed on the side of the mounting base 4 opposite to the driving device 2. Specifically, the mounting base 4 is a structure connecting the driving device 2 and the tube clamp 3. One side of the mounting base 4 has a connecting hole 41, into which the output shaft of the driving device 2 can be inserted, driving the mounting base 4 to rotate synchronously with the output shaft. The tube clamp 3 is fixed on the other side of the mounting base 4, and the mounting base 4 drives the tube clamp 3 to rotate. In this embodiment, the mounting base 4 can be added without changing the structure of the tube clamp 3 to achieve transmission between the driving device 2 and the tube clamp 3. Preferably, the mounting base 4 is a strip-shaped plate structure.

[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, the tube clamp 3 includes a base plate 31 and at least two clamping portions 32. The base plate 31 is fixed to the mounting base 4; the clamping portions 32 are integral with the base plate 31, and an arc-shaped groove is formed between adjacent clamping portions 32. Specifically, the base plate 31 is fixed to one side of the mounting base 4, and the clamping portions 32 are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the base plate 31. Multiple clamping portions 32 clamp the blood collection tube 12, ensuring its clamping stability. The arc-shaped groove between the clamping portions 32 facilitates the placement or removal of the blood collection tube 12 by medical personnel and reduces the weight of the tube clamp 3. Preferably, as shown in Figure 1, the tube clamp 3 has two clamping portions 32, one above the other, to clamp the upper and lower parts of the blood collection tube 12.

[0049] In one embodiment of this utility model, the clamping part 32 is an arc-shaped clamping structure, and multiple elastic serrations 33 are formed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping structure. Specifically, the clamping part 32, viewed from the top surface, is an arc-shaped clamping structure with an arc degree greater than 1π, which can stably clamp the blood collection tube 12; multiple elastic serrations 33 are machined on the inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping structure, which on the one hand ensures the stable clamping of the blood collection tube 12, and on the other hand does not damage the blood collection tube 12. Preferably, the elastic serrations 33 are made of flexible medical silicone material.

[0050] In one embodiment of this utility model, the driving device 2 includes a stepper motor. In this embodiment, the driving device 2 uses a stepper motor, which has advantages such as high-precision positioning, rapid start-stop capability, and ease of control. Of course, other driving components can be used instead, depending on actual needs.

[0051] In one embodiment of this utility model, the blood collection tube shaking system further includes a power supply 5, which is electrically connected to the drive device 2. The power supply 5 provides power to the drive device 2.

[0052] In one embodiment of this utility model, the blood collection tube shaking system further includes a charging port 6, which is disposed on the housing 1 and electrically connected to the power supply 5. The power supply 5 can be charged through the charging port 6.

[0053] In one embodiment of this utility model, the blood collection tube shaking system further includes a control knob 7 and a rotary encoder 8. The control knob 7 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1; the rotary encoder 8 is located inside the housing 1 and connected to the control knob 7. Specifically, the blood collection tube shaking system also includes a control circuit board 11, which can use a PLC or frequency converter to control the stepper motor. In this embodiment, the number of rotations of the tube clamp 3 can be set by manually rotating the control knob 7. This setting is converted into an electrical signal by the rotary encoder 8, and the control circuit board 11 controls the number of rotations of the stepper motor. In this embodiment, the default rotation angle for one rotation is 180°, meaning that one flip reverses the blood collection tube 12, and a second flip resets it. This reversal and reset is counted as one rotation. For example, if the control knob 7 is rotated to the "5 times" setting, the stepper motor will drive the tube clamp 3 to rotate 5 times.

[0054] In one embodiment of this utility model, the blood collection tube shaking system further includes a foot 9, which is disposed at the bottom of the housing 1. Preferably, the foot 9 adopts an elastic pad structure to provide shock absorption when the system is working.

[0055] In one embodiment of this utility model, the blood collection tube shaking system further includes a display screen 10, which is mounted on the housing 1. The display screen 10 can display the number of rotations of the blood collection tube 12 and the battery level. A rotary encoder 8 is connected to a control knob 7. The number of rotations (e.g., 3, 5, and 8) is selected by controlling the knob 7. After the scale line on the control knob 7 is aligned with the corresponding number of rotations, the display screen 10 will also display the number of rotations.

[0056] In practical use of the blood collection tube shaking system of this utility model, for example:

[0057] When collecting blood samples from patients for routine blood tests, EDTA anticoagulant tubes are usually used. The caps of these tubes are typically purple. According to the instructions in the blood collection tube manual, the blood collection tube 12 should be inverted 180° and shaken 5 times. After collecting the blood sample, the medical worker places the blood collection tube 12 on the clamp 3 of the blood collection tube shaking system, aligns the control knob 7 with the "5 times" mark, and presses the control knob 7 to start shaking the blood collection tube 12. After the equipment completes 5 shaking cycles and stops, the blood collection tube 12 is removed for subsequent testing.

The components shown as units may or may not be physical units; that is, they may be located in one place or distributed across multiple network units. Some or all of the modules can be selected to achieve the purpose of this embodiment according to actual needs. Those skilled in the art can understand and implement this without any creative effort.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
