Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of test tube rack technology and relates to a test tube rack for specimens of any capacity. Background Technology

[0002] A crucial diagnostic tool in modern medicine is examination. Doctors, through observing a patient's clinical symptoms and reviewing examination results, can diagnose diseases earlier and more accurately. Blood is the most commonly used specimen in laboratory tests. Many indicators in blood can very sensitively and accurately reflect bodily functions and health status. When drawing blood, after verifying the test items, the nurse prepares the blood collection tubes. After collection, the tubes are placed in a test tube rack. Currently, blood samples from the same patient are stored in the same row of wells to avoid mixing with other patients' blood samples. Therefore, regardless of whether the wells are full or not, the next patient's blood sample is moved to a different row.

[0003] When there are many blood samples from patients, they may be stored in more than one row of wells. If the excess is not significant, it reduces the utilization rate of the test tube rack. However, to maintain the utilization rate, the test tubes may be mixed with blood samples from other patients. Therefore, it is necessary to check and classify the test tubes before drawing blood from patients to avoid drawing the wrong blood. Existing test tube racks can only store and organize test tubes and cannot help medical staff quickly identify the number of blood samples drawn from patients. To address this, we propose a test tube rack with arbitrary capacity. Utility Model Content

[0037] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a specimen tube rack of arbitrary capacity includes:

[0040] The frame 20 has a specimen placement slot 1 with a continuous S-shaped orientation at its top;

[0041] Several partition components are slidably disposed in the specimen placement slot 1. The spacing of the partition components can be adjusted by sliding to achieve dynamic isolation and partitioning of test tubes from different patients.

[0042] Multiple arc-shaped positioning grooves 3 are equally spaced on the bottom wall of this placement groove 1;

[0043] The specimen placement slot 1 has a first sliding groove 2 with a continuous S-shaped direction on its inner side wall, and the separation component includes an L-shaped partition 4 and two guide posts 5 symmetrically fixed on both sides of it.

[0044] The short side of the partition 4 is embedded in the first groove 2, and the long side is perpendicular to the extension direction of the specimen placement groove 1 to form an isolation barrier.

[0045] The upper and lower walls of the first chute 2 are respectively provided with upper and lower guide grooves 6 that match the two corresponding guide posts 5, and the depth of the guide groove 6 is greater than the height of the guide post 5;

[0046] The inner sidewall of the specimen placement groove 1 is provided with several slots 7 that are connected to the first sliding groove 2. The width of the slots 7 is adapted to the thickness of the partition 4. The slots 7 are located between two adjacent arc-shaped positioning grooves 3.

[0047] The specific operation method of Embodiment 1 of this utility model is as follows:

[0048] Medical staff insert multiple test tubes into the specimen placement slot 1 simultaneously with one hand, and grasp the partition 4 with the other hand, lift it upwards, and then push the partition 4. After the test tubes are placed, one of the partitions 4 is pressed down so that the lower end of the partition 4 is inserted into the slot 7, thus fixing the partition 4 in place. This separates the test tubes of the two patients. Repeating the above operation can effectively distinguish the test tubes of different patients and avoid the problem of confusion when they are mixed. The remaining partitions 4 are then moved by the medical staff to the back of the last patient's test tube.

[0049] In this embodiment, each patient has a corresponding partition when storing test tubes, which can distinguish the test tubes of different patients and avoid the problem of confusion when they are mixed together. Moreover, it is not limited by the number of test tubes in traditional test tube racks, and can be stored at will according to the number of test tubes of patients. It can flexibly adapt to the dynamic needs of different patients' specimen quantities and avoid the space waste or insufficiency caused by traditional fixed partitions. At the same time, it is not necessary to insert each test tube into the hole when storing them. Multiple test tubes can be placed in the test tube slot at the same time, saving placement time. The same applies to taking out test tubes.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] like Figure 5-12 As shown, the specimen placement groove 1 has several second sliding grooves 8 on its inner wall, and several separating components are slidably disposed in several corresponding second sliding grooves 8. The separating components include a cylinder 9 and a disk 10. One end of the cylinder 9 is fixed to the disk 10. The second sliding groove 8 includes a first adjusting groove 14 and a second adjusting groove 15. The disk 10 is slidably disposed in the first adjusting groove 14. One end of the cylinder 9 passes through the second adjusting groove 15 and is located in the specimen placement groove 1. The outer wall of the disk 10 has an arc-shaped protrusion 11. The upper and lower walls of the first adjusting groove 14 are provided with grooves 12 for the arc-shaped protrusion 11 to be embedded. A rubber strip 13 is fixed to the inner wall of the groove 12.

[0052] The frame 20 includes a mounting frame 17 and two baffles 16. The two baffles 16 are detachably mounted on the mounting frame 17 and are symmetrically arranged. One end of the second slide groove 8 passes through one side of the mounting frame 17 to form an open end. A limiting block 18 is fixed at the bottom of the baffle 16. The mounting frame 17 has a limiting groove 19 for the limiting block 18 to be embedded. The baffle 16 blocks the open end of the second slide groove 8. The outer wall of the cylinder 9 is provided with a spiral anti-slip texture.

[0053] The specific operation method of this embodiment two is as follows:

[0054] First, remove the baffles 16 from the mounting bracket 17. Then, based on the actual number of patients and the total number of test tube racks, insert the discs 10 at one end of multiple cylinders 9 into multiple corresponding first adjustment slots 14, simultaneously embedding the cylinders 9 into the second adjustment slots 15. Next, align the limiting block 18 at the bottom of the baffle 16 with the limiting slot 19 and insert it, so that the baffle 16 blocks the opening end of the second sliding groove 8. Medical staff then simultaneously insert multiple test tubes from the same patient into the specimen placement slot 1. One end pushes the cylinder 9 to move along the second adjustment groove 15. The cylinder 9 drives the disc 10 to move along the first adjustment groove 14. After all the test tubes of the same patient are placed, the medical staff rotates the cylinder 9 with their fingers. The cylinder 9 drives the disc 10 to rotate. The disc 10 drives the arc-shaped protrusion 11 to rotate into the groove 12, and makes the arc-shaped protrusion 11 abut against the rubber strip 13, thereby locking the disc 10, thus locking the cylinder 9 and separating the test tubes of the two patients.

[0055] When the test tubes of the current patient are just filled in a row, when inserting the separator component, there is no need to insert the separator component in the second groove 8 corresponding to that row. This can be achieved by moving the cylinder 9 located behind the multiple test tubes of the current patient so that one end of the cylinder 9 is aligned with the center of the last test tube of the multiple test tubes.

[0056] Although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
