Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical testing technology, and more specifically, to a sample ring. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of medical technology in my country, the demand for medical testing has increased dramatically, leading to an explosive growth in sample processing volume. This growth is not only reflected in the number of samples, but also involves a large amount of information related to each sample, including but not limited to basic demographic information such as the patient's name and gender, as well as specific testing requirements.

[0003] Currently, one of the main technical challenges in processing these massive amounts of samples lies in how to efficiently and accurately transmit and manage this critical information. Especially in the information receipt stage of medical laboratory samples, existing processing methods heavily rely on manual operation. Manually entering data into the system results in low efficiency, consumes significant human resources, and increases time costs. Furthermore, manual entry is prone to errors, affecting the accuracy and integrity of the data, which may adversely impact subsequent diagnosis and treatment. Utility Model Content

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a sample ring, wherein the sample ring 1 is a ring structure and is used to be sleeved on the sample tube.

[0042] The sample ring 1 has an NFC chip 2 built in it, which stores sample information data, including but not limited to basic demographic information such as the patient's name and gender, as well as specific testing requirements.

[0043] The NFC chip 2 enables short-range data exchange, allowing NFC devices to read data from the NFC chip 2 and sign for the sample information data in the NFC chip 2.

[0044] After the sample ring 1 is used up, it can be recycled and reused, the data in the NFC chip 2 can be reset, and it can be put into use again, reducing the cost burden.

[0045] This invention stores sample information using an NFC chip 2 (specifically, sample information data can be written into the NFC chip 2 using an NFC reader / writer, with each sample information item represented by a 12-bit number). This allows for accurate recording of sample information. When the NFC chip 2 is brought close to an NFC device, the NFC device can quickly receive the data from the NFC chip 2, obtaining the sample information without manual input. This improves information receipt efficiency and saves human resources and time costs. The NFC chip 2, in conjunction with the NFC device, enables data transmission and near-field communication, ensuring complete and accurate data transmission with minimal errors. Compared to manual input, this method offers higher accuracy and minimizes the risk of misdiagnosis due to sample confusion.

[0046] The sample ring of this invention enables rapid receipt of massive amounts of sample information and batch operations, saving the laboratory a significant amount of manpower and resources.

[0047] The sample ring of this invention can also be recycled, further reducing costs.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0050] To facilitate the fitting of the sample ring 1 onto the sample tube, the inner diameter of the sample ring 1 is larger than the outer diameter of the sample tube. A rubber ring 3 is provided on the inner side of the sample ring 1. The rubber ring 3 can be compressed within a certain range, thereby facilitating the fitting and fixing of the sample ring 1 onto the sample tube.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0053] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the sample ring includes multiple arc-shaped segments, and all the arc-shaped segments are connected end to end to form a complete ring structure.

[0054] The sample ring includes a data transmission segment 4, a ferromagnetic metal segment 5, a telescopic segment 6, and an elastic segment 7. The data transmission segment 4, the ferromagnetic metal segment 5, the telescopic segment 6, and the elastic segment 7 are connected end to end to form a complete ring structure.

[0055] The data transmission segment 4 has the NFC chip 2 built in it. The top surface of the data transmission segment 4 has a mounting slot 8, in which the NFC chip 2 is installed. The bottom of the mounting slot 8 also has a card slot, into which one end of the NFC chip 2 is inserted. This design facilitates the installation of the NFC chip 2 into the mounting slot 8 and also makes it easy to remove it from the mounting slot 8. At the same time, it can prevent the NFC chip 2 from easily detaching from the data transmission segment 4.

[0056] The NFC chip 2 stores sample information data, including but not limited to basic demographic information such as the patient's name and gender, as well as specific testing requirements.

[0057] The NFC chip 2 enables short-range data exchange, allowing NFC devices to read data from the NFC chip 2 and sign for the sample information data in the NFC chip 2.

[0058] The NFC chip 2 can be an ISO14443A4KBYTE R / W13.56MHZ NFC chip from Guangzhou Huijia Smart Card Co., Ltd., which has an operating temperature of -25℃ to +250℃ and can withstand high temperatures.

[0059] The material of the data transmission segment 4 can be ABS, preferably high-temperature resistant modified ABS.

[0060] The ferromagnetic metal segment 5 can be made of, but is not limited to, iron. The ferromagnetic metal segment 5 is used to cooperate with a magnetic device placed above the sample tube. The magnetic device can attract the sample ring 1 using magnetic force, causing the sample ring 1 to detach from the sample tube. The sample ring 1 can then be recycled, the data in the NFC chip 2 reset, and reused, reducing costs. The magnetic device can be a magnet.

[0061] The elastic segment 7 has a certain elasticity. When the elastic segment 7 is subjected to force, it will deform. When the external force is removed, it can return to its original shape. Thus, during installation, it is convenient to put the sample ring 1 on the sample tube. Moreover, under the elastic force of the elastic segment 7, the sample ring 1 can be stably put on the outer wall of the sample tube.

[0062] In this embodiment, the elastic segment 7 is a rubber strip, which can be made of high-temperature resistant synthetic rubber, such as fluororubber. Under the elastic force of the rubber strip and the frictional force between the rubber strip and the sample tube, the sample ring 1 can be stably fitted onto the outer wall of the sample tube.

[0063] The telescopic segment 6 can extend and retract to a certain extent. The amount of extension and retraction of the telescopic segment 6 is very small (2mm to 5mm). The telescopic segment 6 is mainly used to increase the inner diameter of the sample ring 1 so that the magnetic device can pull the sample ring 1 away from the sample tube.

[0064] When it is necessary to remove the sample ring 1 from the sample tube, the length of the telescopic segment 6 increases, while the elastic force of the elastic segment 7 decreases. The inner diameter of the sample ring 1 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the sample tube. In this way, the sample ring 1 can be attracted by the magnetic device and detached from the sample tube.

[0065] When the sample ring 1 needs to be installed on the sample tube, the length of the telescopic segment 6 is reduced to its original length.

[0066] In this embodiment, the telescopic segment 6 is made of shape memory metal. The shape memory metal increases in length at high temperatures and returns to its original length when it returns to normal temperature.

[0067] The shape memory metal can be a nickel-titanium alloy, whose length increases with increasing temperature and decreases with decreasing temperature. For example, when the temperature rises to 120°C, the length of the nickel-titanium alloy increases by 2mm to 5mm.

[0068] Once the sample testing is completed, the sample is discarded. According to requirements, discarded samples from medical laboratories must be autoclaved before leaving the laboratory for disposal. However, the sample ring 1 can be reused. Therefore, the sample ring 1 can be removed during high-temperature sterilization.

[0069] The specific connection method between two adjacent arc-shaped segments is as follows:

[0070] Each arc segment has a step 9 at both ends. The steps 9 at the ends of two adjacent arc segments match each other, and the steps 9 at the ends of two adjacent arc segments are exactly aligned, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the sample ring 1 form a basically smooth surface.

[0071] Each arc segment has a mating post 10 on one end of the step 9 and an insertion hole 11 on the other end of the step 9. The mating post 10 of the arc segment is inserted into the insertion hole 11 of the adjacent arc segment. The mating post 10 and the insertion hole 11 are tightly fitted to prevent the two adjacent arc segments from easily separating.

[0072] Figure 4 The structure of the telescopic segment 6 is shown, and the structures of the ferromagnetic metal segment 5 and the elastic segment 7 are the same.

[0073] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
