Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blood sample packaging technology, specifically to an ice water bath box. Background Technology
[0002] In hospital laboratories, some blood samples are unstable and require a water bath for aliquoting. While water baths can meet this requirement, existing ones are expensive (metal ones) and have the following problems (plastic ones have the following issues): 1. They only have one shelf; when ice water is added, the ice floats on the surface, often obstructing the insertion of sample tubes; 2. Sample tubes of varying diameters cannot be inserted into the holes on the shelf, while thinner tubes are unstable after insertion. To address these issues, this invention provides a convenient, low-cost water bath that allows for smooth sample tube placement and stable storage. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an ice water bath box that is easy to use, low in cost, allows for smooth placement of sample tubes, and provides stable storage.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An ice water bath box includes a box body, a shelf suspended on the box body, and a lid adapted to the box body.
[0006] The placement rack includes an upper placement plate and a lower support plate. Connecting posts are vertically fixed at the bottom of the four corners of the placement plate. The support plate is detachably connected to the lower part of the connecting posts. Multiple vertically connected grids are evenly arranged on the placement plate, and multiple through holes are evenly arranged on the support plate.
[0007] The side of the placement plate is provided with multiple buckle plates, and the upper end of the side wall of the box is provided with buckle grooves corresponding to the buckle plates.
[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, the lower end of the connecting column is provided with a plurality of annular grooves along the axial direction, and the four corners of the support plate are provided with inwardly recessed notches, which are engaged with the grooves on the connecting column.
[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the buckle plate is L-shaped, with its horizontal part fixedly connected to the side of the placement plate, and its vertical part extending downward along the outer end of the horizontal part. A groove is provided on the inner side of the vertical part, and a protrusion corresponding to the groove is provided on the buckle groove.
[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the buckle is disposed on two opposite sides of the placement plate, and two buckles are disposed on each side.
[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the lower end of the box lid is open, and the upper end of the box body is provided with an insert plate that cooperates with the inner side wall of the box lid. The buckle groove is provided on the insert plate. A step is formed between the outer side of the insert plate and the outer side wall of the box body. After the box lid is fastened onto the box body, the outer side wall of the box lid is flush with the outer side wall of the box body.
[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, the grid is square or round, and different models of placement boards are provided according to the different grid sizes. The thickness of the placement board is 0.3cm-0.7cm.
[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the diameter of the via is 0.4cm-0.6cm, and the center distance between adjacent vias is 0.8cm-1.2cm.
[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, both the box body and the box lid are made of transparent material.
[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows:
[0016] The ice water bath box provided by this utility model consists of a box body, a placement rack, and a box lid. The placement rack has two layers. Ice blocks are placed under the tray inside the box body. The lower tray is used to support the sample tubes. Ice water can enter between the tray and the placement rack through the through hole, so the sample tubes can be placed smoothly and are easy to use. This design avoids the problems that ice blocks can easily obstruct the insertion of sample tubes into the grid when only one layer of placement rack is used, and the instability of placing sample tubes of different thicknesses.
[0017] Furthermore, the placement plate is designed with a specific thickness based on commonly used sample tube diameters, providing a certain degree of restraint during sample tube placement and ensuring greater stability. Multiple slots on the connecting column allow for adjustment of the distance between the tray and the placement plate, improving adaptability to different sample tube models.
