[0024] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] This utility model provides an intraoperative specimen management box, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a box body 1, inside which are installed several placement compartments 2. A diaphragm 23 is installed in the middle of the placement compartment 2, dividing the placement compartment 2 into upper and lower layers. The upper layer is a specimen placement cavity 21 for placing specimens, and the lower layer is a solution cavity 22 for placing specimen fixative. A sealing cover 3 is installed on the top of the box body 1, and several pressing members 4 are installed on the inner side of the sealing cover 3. Each pressing member 4 corresponds to a placement compartment 2. After the sealing cover 3 is placed on the top of the box body 1, the pressing members 4 push the diaphragm 23 downward, thereby allowing the specimen to fall from the specimen placement cavity 21 into the solution cavity 22.

[0026] In use, the several placement compartments 2 installed inside the box 1 enable independent storage and management of specimens, effectively preventing confusion between specimens. A diaphragm 23 in the center of each placement compartment 2 cleverly divides it into upper and lower layers: a specimen placement chamber 21 and a solution chamber 22, allowing for separate storage of the specimen and fixative, ensuring the specimen's initial state. The sealing cap 3 installed on the top of the box 1, along with several pressing elements 4 inside the sealing cap 3, constitutes a convenient specimen fixation mechanism. When the sealing cap 3 is placed on top of the box 1, the pressing elements 4 accurately push the diaphragm 23 downwards, allowing the specimen to smoothly fall from the specimen placement chamber 21 into the solution chamber 22, achieving rapid and effective specimen fixation. This structural design not only simplifies the operation process and improves surgical efficiency but also ensures the quality of specimen preservation, providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent pathological examination and analysis.

[0027] In this embodiment, the placement grids 2 are arranged in a matrix, with a quantity of 4-16. This meets the specimen management needs of different surgical scenarios.

[0028] Specifically, the lowering member 4 is hollow inside and open at the bottom. The size of the lowering member 4 is adapted to the opening size of the specimen placement cavity 21, ensuring that the lowering member 4 can accurately and effectively push the diaphragm 23 downward, so that the specimen can fall smoothly into the solution cavity 22, simplifying the operation process and improving the fixation efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, each placement compartment 2 contains four diaphragms 23, all of which are triangular in structure. These four diaphragms 23 are arranged in a circular array and collectively seal the bottom of the specimen placement cavity 21. A rotating shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the side of each diaphragm 23 closest to the inner wall of the specimen placement cavity 21. The end of the rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the placement compartment 2. A torsion spring 241 is mounted on the rotating shaft 24, with one end fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 24 and the other end fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement compartment 2. The four-piece triangular structure of the diaphragms 23 collectively seals the bottom opening of the specimen placement cavity 21, enhancing the sealing performance. Through the rotatable connection of the rotating shaft 24 to the inner wall of the placement compartment 2 and the torsion spring 241, the diaphragms 23 can automatically reset and seal the bottom opening of the specimen placement cavity 21 when no force is applied, facilitating the insertion and removal of specimens while ensuring reliable sealing.

[0030] Furthermore, the specimen placement cavity 21 is designed to be larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, which facilitates the placement of specimens and prevents specimens from slipping or overflowing during placement, thereby improving the safety and accuracy of specimen management.

[0031] Furthermore, the sides of the box body 1 and the sealing cap 3 are provided with locking edges, and the sealing cap 3 and the top of the box body 1 are engaged through the upper and lower locking edges. The box body 1 and the sealing cap 3 are engaged through the locking edges, and the connection is firm and reliable, effectively preventing the sealing cap 3 from falling off during transportation or use, and ensuring the airtightness and integrity of the specimen management box.

[0032] Furthermore, an extraction port 31 is provided at the top of the sealing cap 3 and above the pressing member 4. The extraction port 31 communicates with the interior of the pressing member 4, and a sealing plug 32 is installed inside the extraction port 31. The extraction port 31 and the sealing plug 32 provided at the top of the sealing cap 3 facilitate the extraction of fixative or specimens from the solution chamber 22 when needed. At the same time, the sealing plug 32 ensures the airtightness during the extraction process and prevents the entry of external air or contaminants.

[0033] Furthermore, the box body 1 is made of PP plastic material, and the sealing plug 32 is made of silicone material. The PP plastic material used in the box body 1 provides good corrosion resistance and durability, and is easy to clean and disinfect. The silicone material used in the sealing plug 32 provides good sealing performance and a certain degree of elasticity, facilitating the opening and closing of the sealing cover 3 while ensuring long-term stability of the seal.

[0034] In use, the intraoperative specimen management box of this invention first has several placement compartments 2 installed inside the box body 1. The placement compartments 2 are arranged in a matrix to meet the specimen management needs of different surgical scenarios. A diaphragm 23 is installed in the center of each placement compartment 2. The specimen is placed in the specimen placement chamber 21 and stored separately from the specimen fixative in the solution chamber 22, ensuring the initial state of the specimen. A sealing cap 3 is installed on the top of the box body 1. The sealing cap 3 is locked to the top of the box body 1 by a snap-fit ​​edge on the side, ensuring a firm and reliable connection and effectively preventing the sealing cap 3 from falling off during transportation or use.

[0035] When specimen fixation is required, the sealing cap 3 is placed on top of the box 1. After the sealing cap 3 is on, multiple pressing parts 4 move down, pushing the corresponding diaphragms 23 downwards. This allows all specimens to fall from the specimen placement chamber 21 into the solution chamber 22, achieving rapid and effective specimen fixation.

[0036] The specimen placement cavity 21 is designed with a shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, facilitating specimen placement while preventing slippage or spillage during insertion, thus improving the safety and accuracy of specimen management. When no force is applied, the diaphragm 23 automatically resets due to the action of the torsion spring 241, sealing the bottom opening of the specimen placement cavity 21, facilitating specimen placement and subsequent possible removal. The sealing cap 3 has an extraction port 31 at its top, with a sealing plug 32 installed inside. When needed, the fixative or specimen in the solution cavity 22 can be extracted through the extraction port 31, while the sealing plug 32 prevents the entry of external air or contaminants.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
