Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a stepped portable test tube rack. Background Technology

[0002] In medical settings, the use of traditional test tube racks faces numerous challenges, particularly in the placement, retrieval, and overall movement of test tubes. For instance, in the high-intensity work environment of hospitals, frequent handling of test tubes is a common requirement. The planar arrangement of traditional test tube racks makes it easy for medical staff to bump into adjacent tubes when retrieving them, leading to tipping or collisions, and potentially causing sample contamination or tube breakage. This situation is particularly pronounced in departments such as emergency rooms and laboratories that require rapid processing of large numbers of samples, increasing operational risks and potentially affecting the accuracy of test results.

[0003] Meanwhile, traditional test tube racks have poor overall mobility in hospitals. In a hospital environment, test tube racks frequently need to be moved from one department to another, or from wards to laboratories. However, traditional test tube racks typically lack secure protection for the test tubes, making them prone to shaking, tilting, or even falling off during movement, especially in emergency transport or scenarios requiring rapid response. These issues pose significant challenges to traditional test tube racks in hospital settings, making it difficult to meet the demands for efficiency, convenience, and safety. Utility Model Content

[0045] To better understand the above technical solutions, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of this application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of this application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0046] like Figure 1-3As shown in the embodiment of this application, a stepped portable test tube rack is proposed, comprising: a first test tube rack 100, which is used to place test tubes, and a sliding groove is provided on the back side of the first test tube rack 100; a second test tube rack 200, which is used to place test tubes, and a sliding block is provided on the front side of the second test tube rack 200, which is slidably connected to the sliding groove of the first test tube rack 100 through the sliding block, and a sliding groove is provided on the back side of the second test tube rack 200; and a third test tube rack 300, which is used to place test tubes, and a sliding block is provided on the front side of the third test tube rack 300. The first test tube rack 100, the second test tube rack 200, and the third test tube rack 300 are slidably connected to the sliding groove of the second test tube rack 200 via the sliding block; the top of the sliding groove is provided with a stop block; a hook, the hook 400 is provided on the back side of the third test tube rack 300; a housing 500, the housing 500 includes a placement groove 510, a cover plate 520, a hanging ring 530 and a lifting handle 540, the first test tube rack 100, the second test tube rack 200 and the third test tube rack 300 are all provided in the placement groove 510, the cover plate 520 is rotatably connected to the placement groove 510, the cover plate 520 is provided with a hanging ring 530, the hanging ring 530 cooperates with the hook 400, and the two sides of the outer surface of the placement groove 510 are provided with lifting handles 540.

[0047] The stepped portable test tube rack provided in this application includes a first test tube rack 100, a second test tube rack 200, a third test tube rack 300, a sliding groove, a sliding block, a hook 400, and a housing 500.

[0048] The first test tube rack 100 has a sliding groove on its back side, the second test tube rack 200 has a sliding block on its front side and a sliding groove on its back side, and the third test tube rack 300 has a sliding block on its front side. The sliding block on the front side of the second test tube rack 200 is slidably connected to the sliding groove on the back side of the first test tube rack 100, and the sliding block on the front side of the third test tube rack 300 is slidably connected to the sliding groove on the back side of the second test tube rack 200. At the same time, a stop block is provided at the top of the sliding groove.

[0049] The outer sides of the first test tube rack 100, the second test tube rack 200 and the third test tube rack 300 are provided with a shell 500.

[0050] The third test tube rack 300 is equipped with a hook 400, and the shell 500 is equipped with a hanging ring 530.

[0051] The outer surface of the housing 500 is provided with lifting handles 540 on both sides.

[0052] In actual use, the first test tube rack 100, the second test tube rack 200, and the third test tube rack 300 are all set inside the placement slot 510 of the housing 500 in the first state. When blood sample collection, blood sample testing, or other operations requiring the placement and retrieval of test tubes are needed, the third test tube rack 300 can be lifted upwards. When the sliding block of the third test tube rack 300 slides upwards to its limit position within the sliding slot of the second test tube rack 200, the third test tube... The sliding block of the first test tube rack 100 drives the second test tube rack 200 to move upward. When the sliding block of the second test tube rack 200 slides to the limit position in the sliding groove of the first test tube rack 100, the sliding groove of the first test tube rack 100 can limit the second test tube rack 200. At this time, the first test tube rack 100, the second test tube rack 200 and the third test tube rack 300 are arranged in a stepped test tube rack that facilitates the placement and removal of test tubes. The stepped portable test tube rack switches from the first state to the second state.

[0053] When the stepped portable test tube rack is switched to the second state, the hook 400 of the third test tube rack 300 is connected to the hanging ring 530 on the cover plate 520, thereby realizing the positioning and fixation of the third test tube rack 300.

[0054] When the stepped portable test tube rack needs to be moved, the hook 400 and the hanging ring 530 can be engaged to allow the first test tube rack 100, the second test tube rack 200, and the third test tube rack 300 to be placed in the placement slot 510. The stepped portable test tube rack can also be moved by gripping the lifting handle 540.

[0055] In this technical solution, the first test tube rack 100, the second test tube rack 200, the third test tube rack 300, the sliding groove and the sliding block realize the overall switching of the stepped portable test tube rack from the first state to the second state. When it is necessary to pick up and place test tubes, the stepped portable test tube rack can be switched to the second state, reducing the interference of densely arranged test tubes on the plane, making it easier for medical staff to pick up and place test tubes, and improving the work efficiency of medical staff.

[0056] When the stepped portable test tube rack needs to be transferred or stored, it can be switched from the second state to the first state. There is no need to set up a separate box to place the test tube rack for transportation. The test tube rack can be protected and transported by the shell 500 that comes with this technical solution, which can effectively improve the transportation efficiency of the test tube rack and also protect the test tubes.

[0057] Meanwhile, the second state has a regular shape, making it easy to store and reducing the space it occupies.

[0058] This technical solution uses hooks and hanging rings 530 to limit the positioning of the third test tube rack 300 in the second state. When the hooks and hanging rings 530 are connected, the cover plate 520 forms a stable triangular structure with the first test tube rack 100, the second test tube rack 200, and the third test tube rack 300. The cover plate 520 and the third test tube rack 300 mutually restrict each other's displacement, forming a stable connection. This technical solution achieves the positioning of the third test tube rack 300 through a simple structure and easy operation, minimizing the operations required for medical staff to change the stepped portable test tube rack from the first state to the second state.

[0059] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the housing 500 also includes a locking member 550, which is disposed on both sides of the placement slot 510. When multiple portable test tube racks are stacked, the locking member 550 is used to lock the lifting handle 540 of the lower portable test tube rack.

[0060] In this technical solution, the housing 500 also includes a locking component 550. In applications such as hospitals, there are often situations where a large number of test tubes need to be transferred. If only a single stepped portable test tube rack can be moved, it will reduce work efficiency. Therefore, a locking component is added. When multiple stepped portable test tube racks are stacked together, the locking component 550 of the upper stepped portable test tube rack can lock the handle of the lower stepped portable test tube rack, thereby achieving a tight connection between the upper and lower stepped portable test tube racks. When multiple stepped portable test tube racks need to be moved, it is only necessary to lift the lifting handle 540 of the uppermost stepped portable test tube rack.

[0061] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the locking member 550 includes a first protrusion 551, a second protrusion 552, and a short rod 553. The first protrusion 551 and the second protrusion 552 are disposed opposite to each other on the side surface of the placement groove 510. Both the first protrusion 551 and the second protrusion 552 are provided with a round hole through which the short rod 553 can pass. The lifting handle 540 is provided with a round hole through which the short rod 553 can pass.

[0062] In this technical solution, the locking component 550 includes a first protrusion 551, a second protrusion 552 and a short rod 553, while the lifting handle 540 has a round hole.

[0063] In actual use, the two lifting handles 540 of the lower test tube rack extend between the first protrusion 551 and the second protrusion 552 of the upper test tube rack. The connection between the upper and lower test tube racks can be achieved by extending a round rod between the first protrusion 551, the lifting handles 540 and the second protrusion 552.

[0064] like Figure 1-3As shown, the locking member 550 also includes an insert plate 554 and a positioning groove 555. The insert plate 554 is disposed on the first protrusion 551, and the positioning groove 555 is disposed on the side surface of the short rod 553. The positioning groove 555 is disposed at one end of the short rod 553.

[0065] In this technical solution, to prevent the short rod 553 from falling off due to shaking during the handling of the test tube rack, the locking component 550 is equipped with an insert plate 554 and a positioning groove 555. After one end of the short rod 553 extends into the first protrusion 551, the insert plate 554 is inserted and extends into the positioning groove 555, thereby fixing the short rod 553 and further improving stability.

[0066] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the housing 500 further includes: a positioning groove 560, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the outer surface of the placement groove 510; and a positioning protrusion 570, which is disposed on the upper surface of the cover plate 520.

[0067] In this technical solution, the housing 500 also includes a positioning groove 560 and a positioning protrusion 570. When multiple test tube racks are stacked, the positioning protrusion 570 of the lower test tube rack can be embedded into the positioning groove 560 of the upper test tube rack, thereby making the stacking of the test tube rack more stable and further reducing the shaking of the test tube rack during transportation.

[0068] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the diameter of the end of the short rod 553 with the positioning groove 555 is larger than the diameter of the end without the positioning groove 555; the diameter of the circular hole on the first protrusion 551 is larger than the diameter of the end of the short rod 553 with the positioning groove 555; and the diameter of the circular hole on the second protrusion 552 is smaller than the diameter of the end of the short rod 553 with the positioning groove 555.

[0069] In this technical solution, the end of the short rod 553 with the positioning groove 555 can pass through the first protrusion 551 but cannot pass through the second protrusion 552. When there is no need to fix the lower test tube rack, the thicker end of the short rod 553 can be brought close to the second protrusion 552 without having to remove the short rod 553 for separate storage, which can reduce the risk of the short rod 553 being lost.

[0070] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the locking element 550 is made of stainless steel.

[0071] In this technical solution, the locking component 550 is made of high-strength stainless steel, which can prevent the locking component 550 from breaking under load, thereby further increasing the stability of the test tube rack.

[0072] like Figure 1-3As shown, it also includes: test tube holes 600, the first test tube rack 100, the second test tube rack 200 and the third test tube rack 300 having a plurality of test tube holes 600 for placing test tubes; and clamping member 700, the clamping member 700 being disposed on the lower side of the test tube holes 600, the clamping member 700 being used to further fix the test tubes.

[0073] In this technical solution, the function of placing test tubes is achieved by opening a number of test tube holes 600 in the first test tube rack 100, the second test tube rack 200 and the third test tube rack 300.

[0074] Because test tubes of different functions may have different thicknesses and lengths in actual use, a clamping component 700 is added. The clamping component 700 is located below the test tube hole 600. When the test tube is placed in the test tube hole 600, the lower end of the test tube can be fixed by the clamping component 700.

[0075] This technical solution can prevent test tubes from shaking during handling and is compatible with test tubes of different lengths and thicknesses.

[0076] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the clamping member 700 includes: elastic sheets 710, each clamping member 700 having two elastic sheets 710, the upper end of the elastic sheets 710 being connected to the test tube hole 600 and the two elastic sheets 710 being arranged opposite to each other, the distance between the lower ends of the elastic sheets 710 being less than the diameter of the test tube; and semi-ring sheets 720, each clamping member 700 having two semi-ring sheets 720, the two semi-ring sheets 720 being respectively disposed at the lower ends of the two elastic sheets 710.

[0077] In this technical solution, the clamping member 700 consists of an elastic sheet 710 and a semi-ring sheet 720. The top ends of the two spring sheets are connected to the test tube hole 600, and the lower ends of the two spring sheets are retracted. The semi-ring sheet 720 is located at the lower end of the spring sheets.

[0078] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the housing 500 further includes a locking assembly for securing the placement slot 510 and the cover plate 520 when transferring the stepped portable test tube rack.

[0079] In this technical solution, when the cover plate 520 is fastened to the placement groove 510, the cover plate 520 and the placement groove 510 need to be fixedly connected by a locking assembly to realize the structure of fixed connection between the box and the cover plate 520. There are many implementation methods in the prior art, and this technical solution does not limit them.
