[0002] In the operating room, trays are specialized equipment used to place, organize, and transfer surgical instruments, medications, and other items. These trays are usually made of stainless steel because stainless steel is rust-resistant and easy to clean. The design of trays aims to improve surgical efficiency and safety by making it easier for doctors and nurses to access and operate the instruments and medications needed for the surgery by placing them in an orderly manner.

[0003] In the use of existing pallets, the internal space is usually fixed and difficult to adjust according to the size of the items. This results in some small items occupying a lot of space, thus wasting a lot of storage space in the pallet, while large items cannot make full use of the internal space of the pallet, ultimately leading to waste and inadequate utilization of space. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an easy-to-store operating room tray. By setting up an installation mechanism, it solves the problem that the internal space of existing trays is usually fixed during use and it is difficult to adjust according to the size of the items. This causes small items to occupy a lot of space, thus wasting a lot of storage space in the tray, while large items cannot make full use of the internal space of the tray, ultimately leading to the problem of wasted space and insufficient utilization.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is an easy-to-store operating room tray, including a first tray and a second tray. The first tray is provided with an installation mechanism and a connection mechanism. The installation mechanism includes a plurality of partitions slidably connected to the inner walls of the first tray and the second tray. The right side of the first tray is in contact with the left side of the second tray. The inner walls of the plurality of partitions are each slidably connected to two trays. The front side of the plurality of front trays and the rear side of the plurality of rear trays are each fixedly connected to a sliding rod. The outer walls of the plurality of sliding rods are slidably connected to the inner walls of the partitions. The front ends of the plurality of front sliding rods and the rear ends of the plurality of rear sliding rods are each fixedly connected to a slider.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer walls of several sliders are slidably connected to the inner walls of several partitions, and the outer walls of several sliders are slidably connected to the inner walls of the first and second drag shells.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes an L-shaped shell fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the first trailer shell, and pull-out shells are provided on both the front and rear sides of the first trailer shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer walls of both pull shells are in contact with the inner walls of the two L-shaped shells, and a pull rod is fixedly connected to the right side of each of the two pull shells. A rotating shell is hinged to the front and right sides of the second drag shell.

[0010] Furthermore, both of the pull rods slide into the interior of the two rotating shells, and the right ends of both pull rods are fixedly connected to connecting plates. The outer walls of the two connecting plates are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two rotating shells.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer walls of both pull rods are wound with second springs, and one end of each of the second springs is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the other ends of the two second springs are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two rotating shells, and hanging shells are hinged to the left side of the first drag shell and the right side of the second drag shell.

[0013] Furthermore, threaded rods are fixedly connected to the left side of the first trailer and the right side of the second trailer, and baffles are threadedly connected to the outer walls of the two threaded rods, with the outer walls of the two trailers in contact with the outer walls of the two baffles.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By setting up an installation mechanism, the first and second trailer shells are first opened and laid flat to form a tray through the connecting mechanism. Then, the two trailer shells on the left and right sides are pulled towards the center of the partition shell. The two trailer shells then drive the two sliding rods and two first springs to move towards the center of the partition shell. At the same time, the two sliding rods pull the two first springs to deform. Then, the two sliding rods drive the two sliders to move towards the center of the partition shell. The partition shell is then placed inside the first and second trailer shells and slides on their inner walls. After adjusting the appropriate space, the pulling on the two trailer shells is released. At this time, the two first springs rebound, causing the two trailer shells, two sliding rods, and two sliders to return to their original positions. Then, the two sliders on the left and right sides contact the inner walls of the first and second trailer shells respectively. The items to be used are then placed inside the first and second trailer shells. After that, the first and second trailer shells are dragged together to transport the items. Through the above operation, the internal space of the tray can be adjusted according to the size of the items, reducing space waste for small items and avoiding insufficient space utilization caused by large items. This makes the storage of surgical items more efficient and the placement more orderly, making it convenient for medical staff to access and transport them.

[0016] 2. By setting up a connecting mechanism, firstly, rotate the two retaining shells to move them along the outer walls of the two threaded rods and form a straight line. At this time, the two retaining shells are released from their limiting and fixing position on the two hanging shells. Then, rotate the two hanging shells to detach them from the retaining shells. Then, rotate the first and second drag shells to lay them flat, so that the right side of the first drag shell and the left side of the second drag shell contact each other to form a tray. Then, pull the two pull shells to the right. At this time, the two pull shells pull the two connecting plates and compress the two second springs to produce deformation. Then, rotate the two pull shells to the left and make them contact the inner walls of the two L-shaped shells on the left. Then, release the pull on the two pull shells. At this time, the two second springs rebound and drive the two connecting plates to the left. The plate and two pull rods are reset with the two pull cases, which limits the two pull cases and the L-shaped shell to each other. At the same time, the first and second trailer shells are limited, fixed and laid flat. Then, the internal space of the first and second trailer shells is adjusted by the installation mechanism to place items for transportation. When the device is not in use, the above operation is reversed to fold the first and second trailer shells into a suitcase for storage and carrying. Through the above operation, the state of the first and second trailer shells can be easily adjusted and fixed to form a tray when the device is in use. When not in use, it can be folded into a suitcase for easy storage and carrying, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the device.

[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. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention is an operating room tray that is easy to store, including a first tray 1 and a second tray 11. The first tray 1 is provided with an installation mechanism 2 and a connecting mechanism 3.

[0028] The mounting mechanism 2 includes several partitions 21 slidably connected to the inner walls of the first trailer shell 1 and the second trailer shell 11. The right side of the first trailer shell 1 is in contact with the left side of the second trailer shell 11. Two trailer shells 22 are slidably connected to the inner walls of each partition 21. Slide rods 23 are fixedly connected to the front sides of the front trailer shells 22 and the rear sides of the rear trailer shells 22. The outer walls of the slide rods 23 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the partitions 21. Slider blocks 24 are fixedly connected to the front ends of the front slide rods 23 and the rear ends of the rear slide rods 23. First, the first trailer shell 1 and the second trailer shell 11 are opened and laid flat to form a tray via the connecting mechanism 3. Then, the two drag shells 22 on the left and right sides are pulled towards the center of the partition shell 21. Then, the two drag shells 22 drive the two slide rods 23 and the two first springs 25 to move towards the center of the partition shell 21. At the same time, the two slide rods 23 pull the two first springs 25 to deform. Then, the two slide rods 23 drive the two sliders 24 to move towards the center of the partition shell 21. Then, the partition shell 21 is placed inside the first drag shell 1 and the second drag shell 11 and slides on its inner wall. Then, the appropriate space is adjusted. After completion, the pull on the two drag shells 22 is released. At this time, the two first springs 25 rebound and drive the two drag shells 22, the two slide rods 23 and the two sliders 24 to reset.

[0029] The outer walls of several sliders 24 are slidably connected to the inner walls of several partitions 21, and the outer walls of several sliders 24 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the first and second slide shells 11. Then, the two sliders 24 on the left and right sides respectively contact the inner walls of the first and second slide shells 11. Then, the items to be used are placed inside the first and second slide shells 11. After that, the first and second slide shells 11 are dragged to transport the items. Through the above operation, the internal space of the tray can be adjusted according to the size of the items, reducing the space waste of small items and avoiding the insufficient space utilization caused by large items. This makes the storage of surgical items more efficient and the placement more orderly, making it convenient for medical staff to retrieve and transport them.

[0030] The connecting mechanism 3 includes an L-shaped shell 31 fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the first trailer shell 1. Pull-out shells 32 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the first trailer shell 1. The first trailer shell 1 and the second trailer shell 11 are rotated to lay flat, so that the right side of the first trailer shell 1 and the left side of the second trailer shell 11 come into contact and form a tray. Then, the two pull-out shells 32 are pulled to the right respectively.

[0031] The outer walls of the two pull-out shells 32 are in contact with the inner walls of the two L-shaped shells 31. The right side of the two pull-out shells 32 is fixedly connected with a pull rod 33. The front and right sides of the second drag shell 11 are hinged with a rotating shell 34. Then, the two pull-out shells 32 are pulled to the right. At this time, the two pull-out shells 32 pull the two connecting plates 35 and squeeze the two second springs 36 to produce deformation.

[0032] Both pull rods 33 slide into the interior of the two rotating shells 34. The right ends of both pull rods 33 are fixedly connected to connecting plates 35. The outer walls of the two connecting plates 35 are evenly connected to the inner walls of the two rotating shells 34. At this time, the two pull shells 32 pull the two connecting plates 35 and compress the two second springs 36 to produce deformation. Then, the two pull shells 32 rotate to the left and make them contact the inner walls of the two L-shaped shells 31 on the left. Then, they are released from the pull on the two pull shells 32. At this time, the two second springs 36 rebound and drive the two connecting plates 35 and the two pull rods 33 to reset with the two pull shells 32.

[0033] The outer walls of the two pull rods 33 are each wound with a second spring 36. One end of each second spring 36 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 35. When the two second springs 36 rebound, they drive the two connecting plates 35 and the two pull rods 33 to reset with the two pull shells 32. This makes the two pull shells 32 and the L-shaped shell 31 mutually limit each other, and at the same time makes the first drag shell 1 and the second drag shell 11 limit and fix and lay flat.

[0034] The other ends of the two second springs 36 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two rotating shells 34. The left side of the first drag shell 1 and the right side of the second drag shell 11 are both hinged with hanging shells 37. First, rotate the two baffles 39 to move on the outer walls of the two threaded rods 38 and form a straight line. At this time, the two baffles 39 are released from the limiting fixation of the two hanging shells 37. Then rotate the two hanging shells 37 to separate from the baffles 39. Then rotate the first drag shell 1 and the second drag shell 11 to lay flat, so that the right side of the first drag shell 1 and the left side of the second drag shell 11 come into contact and form a tray. Then pull the two pull shells 32 to move to the right.

[0035] Threaded rods 38 are fixedly connected to the left side of the first drag shell 1 and the right side of the second drag shell 11. A retaining shell 39 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of each of the two threaded rods 38. The outer walls of the two hanging shells 37 are in contact with the outer walls of the two retaining shells 39. At this time, the two pull shells 32 pull the two connecting plates 35 and compress the two second springs 36, causing deformation. Then, the two pull shells 32 rotate to the left, making them contact the inner walls of the two L-shaped shells 31 on the left side. Then, they disengage from the pull of the two pull shells 32. At this time, the two second springs 36 rebound, causing the two connecting plates 35 and the two pull rods 33 to return to their original positions with the two pull shells 32. This allows the two pull shells 32 to retract into contact with the L-shaped shells 31. The shells 31 mutually limit each other, thereby limiting and fixing the first trailer shell 1 and the second trailer shell 11 and placing them flat. Then, the installation mechanism 2 adjusts the internal space of the first trailer shell 1 and the second trailer shell 11 and places items for transportation. When the device is not in use, the above operation is reversed to fold the first trailer shell 1 and the second trailer shell 11 into a suitcase for storage and carrying. Through the above operation, the state of the first trailer shell 1 and the second trailer shell 11 can be easily adjusted and fixed to form a tray when the device is in use. When not in use, it can be folded into a suitcase for easy storage and carrying, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the device.

[0036] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When using this device, firstly, the first and second drag shells 1 and 11 are opened and laid flat to form a tray via the connecting mechanism 3. Then, the two drag shells 22 on the left and right sides are pulled towards the center of the partition shell 21. The two drag shells 22 then drive the two sliding rods 23 and the two first springs 25 to move towards the center of the partition shell 21. Simultaneously, the two sliding rods 23 pull the two first springs 25, causing deformation. Then, the two sliding rods 23 drive the two sliders 24 to move towards the center of the partition shell 21. Finally, the partition shell 21 is placed inside the first and second drag shells 11 and slides along its inner wall. Then, the appropriate space is adjusted. After completion, the two trays 22 are released from their pull. At this time, the two first springs 25 rebound, causing the two trays 22, the two slide rods 23, and the two sliders 24 to return to their original positions. Then, the two sliders 24 on the left and right sides contact the inner walls of the first tray 1 and the second tray 11 respectively. The items to be used are then placed inside the first tray 1 and the second tray 11. After that, the first tray 1 and the second tray 11 are dragged together to transport the items. Through the above operation, the internal space of the tray can be adjusted according to the size of the items, reducing the space waste of small items and avoiding the insufficient space utilization caused by large items. This makes the storage of surgical items more efficient and the placement more orderly, making it convenient for medical staff to retrieve and transport them.

[0037] When using this device, first rotate the two retaining shells 39 to move them along the outer walls of the two threaded rods 38 and form a straight line. At this time, the two retaining shells 39 are released from the limiting fixation of the two hanging shells 37. Then rotate the two hanging shells 37 to detach them from the retaining shells 39. Then rotate the first drag shell 1 and the second drag shell 11 to lay them flat, so that the right side of the first drag shell 1 and the left side of the second drag shell 11 come into contact and form a tray. Then pull the two pull shells 32 to the right. At this time, the two pull shells 32 pull the two connecting plates 35 and compress the two second springs 36 to produce deformation. Then rotate the two pull shells 32 to the left and make them come into contact with the inner walls of the two L-shaped shells 31 on the left. Then release the pull on the two pull shells 32. At this time, the two second springs 36 rebound and drive the two The connecting plate 35 and the two pull rods 33 are reset with the two pull shells 32, which limits the two pull shells 32 and the L-shaped shell 31 to each other. At the same time, the first trailer shell 1 and the second trailer shell 11 are limited, fixed and laid flat. Then, the space inside the first trailer shell 1 and the second trailer shell 11 is adjusted by the mounting mechanism 2 and items are placed for transportation. When the device is not in use, the above operation is reversed to fold the first trailer shell 1 and the second trailer shell 11 into a suitcase for storage and carrying. Through the above operation, the state of the first trailer shell 1 and the second trailer shell 11 can be easily adjusted and fixed to form a tray when the device is in use. When not in use, it can be folded into a suitcase for easy storage and carrying, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the device.
