Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hospital record management technology, and in particular to a pathological slide file cabinet unit and its compact cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Pathology records are an integral part of hospital medical record management at present. Postoperative pathology slides are an important basis for tracing patients' diseases. According to legal requirements, pathology slides need to be kept for 15-30 years.

[0003] The current method of preserving pathology slides is to store them uniformly in pathology slide filing cabinets. These cabinets use a drawer-type design, with multiple partitions along the width of each drawer. The interior space of each drawer is divided into multiple storage areas, where pathology slides are stacked and neatly arranged. However, this storage method easily leads to slides sticking together and causing slide contamination. Furthermore, when retrieving multiple pathology slides from the same patient, the squeezing between slides makes it difficult to quickly find or retrieve slides, resulting in the possibility of missing slides. At the same time, as the number of patients increases, the number of pathology slides also increases over time. The traditional method of arranging pathology slides vertically and horizontally in the filing cabinets becomes spatially limited, thus restricting the scale of hospital medical record management. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a pathological slide filing cabinet unit and its compact cabinet.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A pathology slide filing cabinet unit includes a cabinet body and multiple drawers movably installed within the cabinet body. Each drawer is internally divided into multiple storage areas along its width by partitions. Each drawer includes slide boxes and baffles. Multiple slide boxes are arranged side-by-side along their length within each storage area. Each slide box has a locking mechanism equal to the number of patient pathology slides. The number of baffles is the same as the number of storage areas and is movably installed within each storage area. The baffles, together with the inner wall of the drawer, clamp the multiple slide boxes within their respective storage areas. By replacing the traditional stacking and neat arrangement of slides with slide boxes, multiple pathology slides from the same patient are located within the same slide box. The locking mechanisms within the slide box separate the slides, effectively preventing slide contamination caused by slide compression. When retrieving a patient's pathology slides, the corresponding slide box can be directly removed, reducing the time spent searching for slides. Furthermore, removing the entire box of slides solves the problem of missed slides.

[0007] The slide holder includes a box body and a lid located at the top opening of the box body. The lid has a label pasting area. By pasting labels printed according to the pathological information into the label pasting area, the pathological information is displayed visually inside the drawer, further improving the efficiency of retrieving pathological slides.

[0008] The baffle is a right-angle bent plate. The inner side of the vertical section of the baffle abuts against the surface of the last slide box in the storage area, and the horizontal section of the baffle extends to the bottom of the slide box.

[0009] The horizontal section of the baffle extends to the side opposite to the slide box, with a balancing plate. The inner wall of the storage area, facing the balancing plate, has a slot for inserting the balancing plate. The baffle forms a bookend support within the storage area, clamping multiple slide boxes located within the storage area. The balancing plate increases the stability of the baffle, allowing the slide boxes to be stored relatively stably in the drawer.

[0010] One end of the lid is connected to the top opening of the box body via a flexible connecting strip, and the lid is fastened to the top of the box body.

[0011] The box and the storage area are fitted with a clearance in the width direction, and the height of the box is greater than the height of the partition.

[0012] This utility model also provides a mobile shelving unit, including a fixed cabinet frame, a guide rail assembly, and multiple movable cabinet frames. The fixed cabinet frame and each of the movable cabinet frames have the aforementioned filing cabinet units arranged in an array. The guide rail assembly is fixed to the bottom of the fixed cabinet frame along a drawer opening direction parallel to the filing cabinet unit. Each movable cabinet frame is connected to the guide rail assembly via a traveling mechanism, and a transmission mechanism is installed on the movable cabinet frame to drive it to move in a direction away from / closer to the fixed cabinet frame. By integrating the filing cabinet units within the mobile shelving unit, during storage, the movable and fixed cabinet frames are arranged in an integrated manner. During retrieval, by moving the movable cabinet frames, a passageway is formed between the movable cabinet frame containing the required pathology slide and adjacent movable cabinet frames, thereby maximizing the number of filing cabinet units within a limited space and adapting to the large-scale development of hospital medical record management.

[0013] The guide rail assembly includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail arranged side by side. Each guide rail has two independently arranged track grooves. The traveling mechanism includes a fixed base fixed to the bottom of the movable cabinet and a roller assembly rotatably connected within the fixed base. The roller assembly includes a first driven roller and a second driven roller that engage with the track grooves on the first guide rail, and a first driving roller and a second driving roller that engage with the track grooves on the second guide rail. The first driving roller and the first driven roller, and the second driving roller and the second driven roller, are respectively connected via connecting shafts. A drive shaft is rotatably connected to the fixed base between the first driving roller and the second driving roller. The proximal end of the drive shaft is connected to the axles of the first driving roller and the second driving roller respectively via two sprocket transmission assemblies, and the distal end of the drive shaft is connected to the transmission mechanism. The sliding cooperation between the dual guide rails and the dual roller assembly provides smoothness and stability during the movement of the movable cabinet.

[0014] Each of the filing cabinet units has a magnetic sheet fixed inside the drawer, and a door magnet that attracts and cooperates with the magnetic sheet is fixed on the unit cabinet body.

[0015] The movable cabinet is divided into a symmetrically arranged front frame and a rear frame along the moving direction. The drawers of the filing cabinet units arranged on the front frame and the drawers of the filing cabinet units arranged on the rear frame are arranged to open in opposite directions.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention replaces the traditional stacking and neat storage of slides by incorporating slide boxes within the cabinet unit. This allows multiple pathological slides from the same patient to be stored in the same slide box, separated by clips within the box. This effectively prevents slide contamination caused by slide compression. When retrieving a patient's pathological slides, the corresponding slide box can be directly removed, reducing the time spent searching for slides. Furthermore, the entire box of slides can be retrieved, preventing any slides from being missed. Simultaneously, by integrating the filing cabinet unit onto a mobile shelving unit, the number of filing cabinet units is maximized within a limited space, adapting to the large-scale development of hospital medical record management.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a pathology slide filing cabinet unit, including a unit cabinet 1 and multiple drawers 2 movably installed inside the unit cabinet 1. Specifically, the drawers 2 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the unit cabinet 1 on both sides via drawer slide rails. A handle groove 203 is provided on the side of the drawer 2 away from the unit cabinet 1, allowing the administrator to pull the drawer 2 out of the unit cabinet 1 through the handle groove 203. Furthermore, a card slot 204 can also be provided on this side, into which a card with pathology slide coding information can be inserted; or, the card with pathology slide coding information can be directly pasted onto this side (e.g., ...). Figure 1(As shown on the front side), which facilitates quick identification of slice information by personnel.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drawer 2 is divided into multiple storage areas along its width by partitions 3. Each storage area is equipped with a slide box 4 and a baffle 5. Multiple slide boxes 4 are arranged side-by-side along their length within each storage area 201. Each slide box 4 has a locking mechanism corresponding to the number of patient pathology slides. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the slide box 4 is formed with multiple sets of opposing grids 403. The area formed between adjacent grids 403 is the interlocking position. The slide box 4 can be configured to hold 5, 10, or 15 slides depending on the number of grids 403 inside. The specific number is selected according to the pathological needs of different patients. Usually, 10 slides are used to box the pathological slides of the same patient. The number of baffles 5 is the same as the number of storage areas and is movably installed in each storage area 201. The baffles 5 are connected to the inner wall of the drawer 2 (e.g., Figure 2 The slide boxes 4 (shown on the rear side) clamp together multiple slide boxes 4 within the corresponding storage area 201. The slide boxes 4 replace the original stacking and neatly arranged storage method for slides. Multiple pathological slides from the same patient are located within the same slide box 4. The slides are separated within the slide box 4 by snap-fit ​​mechanisms, effectively preventing slide contamination caused by slide compression. When retrieving a patient's pathological slides, the corresponding slide box 4 can be directly removed, reducing the time spent searching for slides. Furthermore, the entire box of slides can be removed, solving the problem of missed slides.

[0037] Further preferred, such as Figure 4 As shown, the slide holder 4 includes a body 401 and a lid 402 located at the top opening of the body 401. The lid 402 has a label pasting area 404. By pasting labels printed according to pathological information onto the label pasting area 404, the pathological information is displayed visually within the drawer 2, further improving the efficiency of retrieving pathological slides. The label records the pathological information code for a single patient, while the card on the outside of the drawer 2 records the information codes for multiple patients received within a certain date or from the same department. By searching through these codes, the patient's pathological slides can be retrieved quickly.

[0038] One end of the cover 402 is connected to the top opening of the box body 401 via a flexible connecting strip. The cover 402 and the top of the box body 401 are fastened together to enable the opening and closing of the slide box 4.

[0039] like Figure 5As shown, the baffle 5 is a right-angled bent plate. The inner side of the vertical section 501 of the baffle 5 abuts against the surface of the last slide box 4 in the storage area. The horizontal section 502 of the baffle 5 extends below the slide box 4. The baffle 5 formed by the right-angled bent plate forms a book stand support in the storage area, efficiently and quickly clamping the slide box 4 in the storage area where the baffle 5 is located. Preferably, there are at least two slide boxes 4 on the horizontal section 502. More preferably, a balance plate 503 extends from the side of the horizontal section 502 of the baffle 5 away from the slide box. The balance plate 503 improves the stability of the baffle 5 when supporting the book stand. Figure 3 As shown, the storage area and the inner wall of the balance plate 503 are provided with slots 202 for the balance plate 503 to be inserted.

[0040] The box 401 and the storage area are fitted with a clearance in the width direction. Specifically, there is an movable gap between the box 401 and the partition 3, and the height of the box 401 is greater than the height of the partition 3, so that the part of the box 401 located above the partition 3 can be directly picked up when retrieving the slice.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, this utility model also provides a mobile shelving unit, including a fixed cabinet frame 100, a guide rail assembly 300, and multiple movable cabinet frames 200. The fixed cabinet frame 100 and each of the movable cabinet frames 200 have the aforementioned filing cabinet units arranged in an array. The guide rail assembly 300 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed cabinet frame 100 along the drawer 2 opening direction parallel to the filing cabinet unit. Each of the movable cabinet frames 200 is connected to the guide rail assembly 300 via a traveling mechanism, and a transmission mechanism 400 is installed on the movable cabinet frame 200 to drive the movable cabinet frame 200 to move in a direction away from / closer to the fixed cabinet frame 100. Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the guide rail assembly 300 in this solution includes a first guide rail 301 and a second guide rail 302 arranged side by side. The first guide rail 301 and the second guide rail 302 have two independently arranged track grooves 303. The traveling mechanism includes a fixed base 500 fixed to the bottom of the movable cabinet frame 200 and a roller assembly rotatably connected within the fixed base 500. The roller assembly includes a first driven roller 601 and a second driven roller 602 that cooperate with the track grooves 303 on the first guide rail 301, and a first driving roller 603 and a second driving roller 604 that cooperate with the track grooves 303 on the second guide rail 302. The first driving roller 603 and the first driven roller 601, and the second driving roller 604 and the second driven roller 602 are respectively connected by connecting shafts 608. A drive shaft 607 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 500 between the second active rollers 604. The proximal end of the drive shaft 607 is connected to the axle 605 of the first active roller 603 and the second active roller 604 respectively via two sprocket transmission assemblies 606. The distal end of the drive shaft 607 is connected to the transmission mechanism 400. The aforementioned sprocket transmission assembly 606 is prior art, which includes an active sprocket fixed on the drive shaft 607, a driven sprocket fixed on the axle 605, and a chain meshing with the active and driven sprockets. The sliding fit between the double guide rails of the guide rail assembly 300 and the double rollers located in each guide rail ensures the smoothness and stability of the movement of the mobile cabinet frame 200. The transmission mechanism 400 in this solution is the same as the cabinet door transmission assembly structure of the mobile shelving disclosed in patent CN222277389U. Figure 8 As shown, a transmission sprocket 609 is fixed at the far end of the drive shaft 607, a large sprocket is engaged at the end of the chain of the transmission mechanism 400, a follower sprocket 610 is coaxially fixed on the large sprocket, and the follower sprocket 610 and the transmission sprocket 609 are connected by a chain.

[0042] During retrieval, the crank on the movable cabinet 200 is turned, and the transmission mechanism drives the sprocket transmission assembly, consisting of the follower sprocket 610 and the driven sprocket 609, to rotate. The drive shaft 607 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the first active roller 603 and the second active roller 604 to move on the second guide rail 302. This creates a passageway between the movable cabinet 200 containing the pathology slide to be retrieved and adjacent movable cabinets 200. When retrieval is complete or for routine storage, each movable cabinet 200 is moved and tightly integrated with the fixed cabinet 100, thus completing the integrated placement of multiple filing cabinet units. This maximizes the number of filing cabinet units within a limited space, thereby adapting to the large-scale development of hospital medical record management.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, each of the filing cabinet units has a magnetic sheet fixed inside the drawer 2. The unit cabinet 1 is fixed with a door magnet 6 that is attracted and cooperates with the magnetic sheet. The magnetic sheet can be made of a metal that can be attracted by a magnet, such as iron or nickel. The door magnet 6 attracts the drawer 2 to the unit cabinet 1, thereby preventing the drawer 2 from being opened accidentally when the mobile cabinet 200 is moved.

[0044] To reduce the length that drawer 2 of the filing cabinet unit on the movable cabinet shelf 200 needs to be pulled out, while ensuring the maximum storage capacity of pathology slides, such as Figure 7 As shown, the movable cabinet frame 200 is divided into a front frame and a rear frame arranged symmetrically along the moving direction. The drawers 2 of the filing cabinet unit arranged on the front frame and the drawers 2 of the filing cabinet unit arranged on the rear frame are arranged to open in opposite directions.

[0045] In practical applications, the aforementioned mobile shelving units can be managed as a whole through an electronic file management system. The electronic file management system is existing technology and will not be elaborated here. When retrieving information, based on the patient information to be retrieved, the number of the mobile shelving unit 200 where the patient is located, the file cabinet unit number on the corresponding mobile shelving unit 200, and the drawer 2 number on the file cabinet unit (i.e., the card information with pathological slide coding information on drawer 2) are read. The drawer 2 is opened, and the required pathological slides are quickly found by using the label paper pasted on the cover 402 of the slide box 4. All of the patient's slides are located in the slide box 4.

[0046] 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.
