Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sample preservation facilities, and in particular relates to a device for storing postoperative samples in oncology. Background Technology

[0002] Post-operative sample preservation is typically required after tumor surgery. These preserved samples are then sent to a laboratory for routine and genetic testing to obtain biological information. Sample preservation devices are used to maintain the original biological characteristics and integrity of the samples for a period of time, facilitating subsequent research and analysis. These devices need to be easy to use, allowing for flexible transfer between the operating room and the laboratory, and between different laboratories. Furthermore, to further ensure proper sample preservation conditions, the preservation device should be housed in a storage cabinet within the laboratory.

[0003] Existing sample preservation devices present inconveniences in sample retrieval. Specifically, in a testing laboratory, when the sample preservation device is placed in a storage cabinet, the cabinet restricts the opening of the device's lid, making it difficult to remove the sample. In such cases, the entire device must be removed from the storage cabinet to open the lid and retrieve the sample, a cumbersome process. Therefore, a novel sample preservation device is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a postoperative sample storage device for oncology, which is flexible in use, can be placed entirely inside a storage cabinet, and allows for convenient retrieval of the samples inside.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a postoperative sample storage device for oncology, comprising an outer shell and an inner shell. The top and front of the outer shell are open, and the front of the inner shell is also open. Insulation layers are provided between the bottom walls, side walls, and rear walls of both the outer and inner shells. A detachable top cover is installed on the top of the outer shell, and a cooling ice pack is provided between the top cover and the top of the inner shell. An outer shell side opening and an openable side door are provided on the side of the outer shell, an insulation layer side opening is provided on the side of the insulation layer, and an inner shell side opening is provided on the side of the inner shell. A drawer with an open top that can be pulled back and forth is inserted and installed inside the inner shell. A drawer side opening is provided on the side of the drawer, a drawer front panel is provided at the front end of the drawer, and a drawer track is provided on the side of the drawer. An inner shell slide rail that cooperates with the drawer track is provided on the inner wall of the inner shell.

[0006] Preferably, an inner shell front frame is provided at the front of the inner shell, a connecting front strip is provided at the front edge of the outer shell, and a front frame connecting structure is provided between the inner shell front frame and the connecting front strip. When the inner shell is installed into the outer shell, the connecting front strip is embedded into the interior of the inner shell front frame and connected as a whole through the front frame connecting structure.

[0007] Preferably, a front frame top plate is provided on the top of the inner shell front frame, and a top cover connecting structure is provided between the side and rear edges of the top cover and the side and rear edges of the outer shell, and between the front edge of the top cover and the front frame top plate. When the top cover is fastened and installed, each position is connected as one unit through the top cover connecting structure.

[0008] Preferably, a drawer front frame is installed on the outside of the drawer front panel, and two insertion holes are provided on the upper two sides of the drawer front panel. Two insertion blocks are provided on the inner side of the upper frame of the drawer front frame, and the two insertion blocks are respectively inserted into the two insertion holes. Four sealing strips are provided on the front of the inner shell front frame. When the drawer is fully placed into the inner shell, the edge of the drawer front frame contacts each sealing strip.

[0011] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention provides a postoperative sample storage device for oncology. Compared with existing sample storage devices, this invention features an openable side door, an insulation layer side opening on the insulation layer, an inner shell side opening on the side of the inner shell, and a drawer side opening on the side of the drawer. This achieves the technical effect of inserting tumor samples from the side into the device. Since the channel size formed when the side door is opened is much smaller than the channel size when the device is fully open, the disturbance to the refrigeration environment can be minimized when inserting samples multiple times.

[0013] This sample storage device can be placed entirely inside a refrigerator. Thanks to its front and rear-opening drawer assembly, tumor samples can be retrieved without removing the entire device from the refrigerator; simply pull the drawer forward to open it, making sample retrieval convenient. The device also includes cooling ice packs that can be removed after opening the top cover. These ice packs can be placed in the freezer compartment for pre-freezing and then reinstalled before use to maintain a long-lasting cooling effect. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided in detail.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model relates to a postoperative sample storage device for oncology, comprising an outer shell 1 and an inner shell 15. The top and front of the outer shell 1 are open, and the front of the inner shell 15 is also open. Insulation layers 13 are provided between the bottom walls, side walls, and rear walls of both the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 15. A removable top cover 2 is installed on the top of the outer shell 1, and a cooling ice pack 14 is provided between the top cover 2 and the top of the inner shell 15.

[0024] The outer shell 1, serving as the external protective shell of the entire sample storage device, should possess sufficient structural strength. The inner shell 15 is used to create a closed storage environment inside. The cooling ice pack 14 can be removed after opening the top cover 2 and placed separately in the freezing chamber for pre-freezing and cooling. Before using this sample storage device, the cooling ice pack 14 is reinstalled into the device and the top cover 2 is installed. The function of the insulation layer 13 is to block the heat exchange channel between the internal storage environment and the external environment. There is no insulation layer 13 at the top, and the internal storage environment exchanges heat with the cooling ice pack 14 to achieve the cooling effect. Insulation layers 13 in other locations can reduce the heat exchange between the internal storage environment and the external environment.

[0025] A drawer 23 with an open top that can be pulled out and moved back and forth is installed inside the inner shell 15. A front panel 7 is provided at the front end of the drawer 23. A drawer slide 22 is provided on the side of the drawer 23. An inner shell slide 19 that cooperates with the drawer slide 22 is provided on the inner wall of the inner shell 15. Each inner shell slide 19 includes two slides, one upper and one lower. The drawer slide 22 on the side of the drawer 23 is located between the two slides of the inner shell slide 19 on that side.

[0026] The outer shell 1 has an outer shell side opening 11 and an openable side door 3. The insulation layer 13 has an insulation layer side opening 16. The inner shell 15 has an inner shell side opening 20. The drawer 23 has a drawer side opening 24. When the side door 3 is opened, the aforementioned outer shell side opening 11, insulation layer side opening 16, inner shell side opening 20 and drawer side opening 24 constitute a channel for inserting samples into the internal storage environment. Tumor samples can pass through the aforementioned channel and be placed into the inner cavity of the drawer 19.

[0027] In this embodiment, the rear edge of the side door 3 is hinged to the outer shell 1, a magnetic lock is provided between the front of the side door 3 and the outer shell 1, and a transparent window 4 is provided in the middle of the side door 3, through which the interior can be observed.

[0028] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that:

[0029] An inner shell front frame 9 is provided at the front of the inner shell 15. The inner shell front frame 9 is rectangular in shape. A connecting front strip 17 is provided at the front edge of the outer shell 1. A front frame connecting structure 10 is provided between the inner shell front frame 9 and the connecting front strip 17. When the inner shell 15 is installed into the outer shell 1, the connecting front strip 17 is embedded into the interior of the inner shell front frame 9 and connected as a whole through the front frame connecting structure 10. As shown in the figure, the front frame connecting structure 10 includes fitting protrusions provided on the outer wall of the connecting front strip 17 and fitting holes provided at corresponding positions on the inner shell front frame 9. When the connecting front strip 17 is embedded into the interior of the inner shell front frame 9, each fitting protrusion is embedded into the corresponding fitting hole, combining the connecting front strip 17 and the inner shell front frame 9 into a whole.

[0030] A front frame top plate 12 is provided on the top of the inner shell front frame 9. A top cover connecting structure 5 is provided between the side and rear edges of the top cover 2 and the side and rear edges of the outer shell 1, and between the front edge of the top cover 2 and the front frame top plate 12. When the top cover 2 is fastened and installed, all positions are connected as one unit through the top cover connecting structure 5. As shown in the figure, a connecting piece with a fitting hole is provided below the rear edge and side edges of the top cover 2. A fitting protrusion is provided on the rear edge and side edges of the outer shell 1. A fitting protrusion is provided on the inner side of the front edge of the top cover 2. A connecting piece with a fitting hole is provided above the front edge of the front frame top plate 12. When the top cover 2 is pressed down and installed, the fitting protrusions at each position are embedded into the corresponding fitting holes, and the top cover 2 is combined with the outer shell 1 and the front frame top plate 12 into a whole.

[0031] In this embodiment, a drawer front frame 8 is installed on the outer side of the drawer front panel 7. Two insertion holes are provided on the upper sides of the drawer front panel 7, and two insertion blocks are provided on the inner side of the upper frame of the drawer front frame 8, with each block being inserted into one of the two insertion holes, thus combining the drawer front panel 7 and the drawer front frame 8 into a single unit. Four sealing strips 18 are provided at the front of the inner shell front frame 9 (top, bottom, left, and right). When the drawer 23 is fully inserted into the inner shell 15, the edge of the drawer front frame 8 contacts each sealing strip 18. By providing the sealing strips 18, the channel between the drawer assembly and the inner shell assembly can be sealed when the drawer assembly is fully closed, reducing the heat exchange effect between the inside and outside.

[0032] In this embodiment, a writing area 6 for writing information is provided at the front of the upper cover 2, and the information of the internal tumor sample can be marked by writing on the writing area 6.

[0033] Assembly method:

[0034] An insulation layer 13 is laid inside the outer shell 1. Then, the inner shell 15 is placed into the outer shell 1 and pushed inward until the connecting front strip 17 at the front of the outer shell 1 is embedded into the inner shell front frame 9. The inner shell 15 is then integrated into the outer shell 1 through the front frame connecting structure 10. The cooling ice pack 14 is placed in the freezing chamber in advance. Before using this sample storage device, the cooling ice pack 14 is taken out of the freezing chamber and stacked on top of the inner shell 15. Then, the top cover 2 is fastened and installed, and the cooling ice pack 14 is sealed inside.

[0035] Install the front frame 8 of the drawer onto the front panel 7 of the drawer. Then insert the drawer 23 into the front opening of the inner shell 15, so that the drawer track 22 engages with the inner shell slide 19 on the side wall of the inner shell 15. When the drawer 23 is fully pushed in, the front frame 8 of the drawer is released from each sealing strip 18. At this time, a relatively closed storage space is formed inside. The storage space exchanges heat with the cooling ice pack 14 and the temperature is reduced.

[0036] How to use:

[0037] When a tumor sample needs to be inserted (tumor samples are usually placed in sample bottles or bags), open the side door 3 and insert the sample into the inner cavity of drawer 19 through the formed channel. Then close the side door 3. Since the size of the channel formed by opening the side door 3 is much smaller than the size of the top opening of drawer 19 when the drawer assembly is opened directly, the method of inserting the sample through the side door 3 can minimize the disturbance to the internal storage environment. After the sample storage device is transferred to the testing laboratory, it can be placed in the refrigerator as a whole. When the sample inside needs to be retrieved, the drawer assembly can be opened by pulling it out to expose the sample inside. After retrieving the corresponding sample, the drawer assembly can be closed. The retrieval operation is convenient. When the device needs to be transferred to the next testing laboratory, the entire sample storage device can be taken out of the current refrigerator and transferred to the refrigerator in the next scenario.
