Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, and in particular to a test strip storage box. Background Technology
[0002] In some medical examinations, patients often need to collect test strips from multiple days for doctors to interpret. For example, when tracking a woman's ovulation cycle, patients need to collect ovulation test strips from multiple days and provide them to medical staff during their appointments. For such diagnostic processes that rely on results from multiple days of test strips, the storage of these strips is crucial. It needs to prevent confusion between test strips from different dates while also ensuring convenience for patients to use and carry to medical appointments. However, existing test strip storage boxes do not adequately consider the needs of patients for easy disassembly, assembly, and storage, nor are they convenient for quickly presenting them to medical staff in sequence. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem of inconvenient disassembly, assembly, and display of test strip storage boxes that store multiple test strips. To address this problem, this invention provides a test strip storage box comprising multiple independent test strip storage units. These independent units can be quickly assembled into a single unit, which is easy to store and can be conveniently unfolded in chronological order during medical visits, facilitating the display and observation of test strip status from different dates.
[0004] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A test strip storage box, characterized in that it includes several test strip storage units, several connectors, and a rotating shaft; each test strip storage unit includes a cover plate and a receiving base plate, the cover plate being made of transparent material and covering the receiving base plate, one end of the cover plate being rotatably connected to the receiving base plate, and the other end being detachably connected to the receiving base plate; each connector has a rotating hole, and the rotating shaft passes through the rotating hole; one end of each connector has a snap-fit groove, and one end of each test strip storage unit has a snap-fit protrusion, wherein when the test strip storage unit is connected to the connector, the snap-fit protrusion snaps into the snap-fit groove.
[0006] When a user needs to place a test strip into the test strip storage box, the connectable protrusion can be slid out of the snap-fit slot to disassemble the test strip storage unit. When the user needs to store the test strip in the test strip storage unit, simply snap the connectable protrusion into the snap-fit slot. When the user needs to show the test strips to medical personnel, simply rotate all the test strip storage units installed on the connectors to reveal all the test strips. The test strip storage box allows users to quickly disassemble and install individual test strip storage units, facilitating test strip storage and enabling quick display of all stored test strips when needed.
[0007] Furthermore, the snap-fit groove is also provided with a limiting groove, and the snap-fit protrusion is also provided with a limiting rib. When the test strip storage unit is connected to the connector, the limiting rib abuts against the end of the limiting groove. Through the cooperation of the limiting rib and the limiting groove, the test strip storage unit can be prevented from sliding out from the other end when the connector is snapped together, and the user can determine that the test strip storage unit has been installed in place by using the aforementioned structure.
[0008] Furthermore, the rotating shaft has limiting portions at both ends, and the diameter of the limiting portions is larger than the diameter of the rotating hole. The limiting portions prevent the connecting piece from sliding out of the rotating shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, one side of the test strip storage unit is provided with a positioning hole, and the other side of the test strip storage unit is provided with a positioning post at a position corresponding to the positioning hole. The positioning post is made of elastic material. The test strip storage box includes a stored state and an unfolded state. When the test strip storage box is in the stored state, the positioning post of one test strip storage unit is engaged with the positioning hole of another test strip storage unit. The stored state of the test strip storage box refers to the state in which multiple test strip storage units are installed on the connector and completely overlapped. The unfolded state of the test strip storage box refers to the state in which multiple test strip storage units are installed on the connector and unfolded sequentially. Through the cooperation of the positioning post and the positioning hole, the test strip storage units can remain completely overlapped in the stored state without falling apart, making it convenient for users to carry. The positioning post is made of elastic material, so when the user needs to display the test strip contents, pushing a single test strip storage unit will cause the positioning post to disengage from the positioning hole, allowing the test strip storage box to reach the unfolded state.
[0010] Furthermore, the positioning hole is provided on the outer surface of the cover plate, and the positioning post is provided on the back of the receiving base plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the receiving base plate is provided with a test paper receiving cavity and an accessory receiving cavity.
[0012] Furthermore, the accessory receiving cavity includes a colorimetric card receiving cavity and a date card receiving cavity. When storing the test strips, the user only needs to place the sampled test strip into the test strip receiving cavity, the colorimetric card into the colorimetric card receiving cavity, and the note recording the date into the date card receiving cavity. During the demonstration, the status of the test strips for different dates can be clearly seen at a glance.
[0013] Furthermore, the cover plate has a rotating shaft at one end and a snap-fit groove at the other end; the receiving base plate has a rotating shaft receiving part at one end and a snap-fit at the other end; the rotating shaft is housed within the rotating shaft receiving part; when the cover plate covers the receiving base plate, the snap-fit engages with the snap-fit groove. Through the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft receiving part, the cover plate can be rotatably connected to the receiving base plate at one end, and the snap-fit groove allows for a detachable connection between the cover plate and the receiving base plate at the other end. When the user needs to place the test strip on the receiving base plate, simply applying an upward force to the cover plate allows for easy opening; when storing the test strip, the cover plate can be quickly held above the receiving base plate to prevent contamination of the test strip by the external environment.
