Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a medical device, and more particularly to a medical testing container and holder. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, medical testing containers are widely used in medical testing and clinical diagnosis for the collection, temporary storage, transportation, and analysis of biological samples such as blood, urine, feces, sputum, secretions, and swabs. Common sample containers include blood collection tubes, urine cups, sputum collection bottles, and throat swab preservation tubes. They are numerous, diverse, and frequently used, serving as essential consumables for laboratory departments, nucleic acid testing centers, and third-party medical laboratories at all levels of hospitals.

[0003] However, the inventors discovered that existing medical testing containers are primarily designed for sampling, lacking systematic consideration for the storage, organization, and batch management of samples before and after collection. This often leads to shortcomings in practical use. For example, most existing sample containers are cylindrical or near-circular, making them prone to rolling, tipping, or unstable stacking when empty or stored, hindering centralized management and transportation. Furthermore, medical personnel struggle to quickly and accurately locate, retrieve, and return dozens or even hundreds of sample containers. Especially during urgent testing tasks or peak periods, haphazard stacking can lead to sample confusion, loss, or contamination.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a medical testing container or a matching container that is structurally optimized, easy to store, and adaptable to various sample types, in order to improve sample processing efficiency, reduce the risk of contamination, optimize the actual operation process, and meet the needs of modern medical testing for "efficient, safe, and clear" sample management. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the first objective of this utility model is to provide a medical testing container that is easy to centrally manage and transport.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned first objective, the medical testing container provided by this utility model includes a bottle body and a bottle cap. The main body of the bottle body is a regular polygonal prism structure, and a first opening is provided at its top. A first cap is threaded onto the first opening. The first cap is circular in shape, and its outer diameter is less than or equal to the diameter of the inscribed circle of the regular polygon corresponding to the cross-section of the bottle body.

[0007] Preferably, the first cover has an exhaust port for extracting gas and an inlet port for injecting gas arranged side by side.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the bottle has a second opening, and a second cap is threaded onto the second opening. The second cap is circular, and its outer diameter is less than or equal to the diameter of the inscribed circle of the regular polygon corresponding to the cross-section of the bottle.

[0009] In a second aspect of the invention, a bracket for storing the aforementioned medical testing container is also provided, comprising a base frame and a top frame, wherein the base frame includes a central ring and a plurality of transverse support rods arranged radially and evenly around the central ring, and each of the transverse support rods has a vertical support rod of the same height at the same position, and a enclosure assembly is provided between two adjacent vertical support rods, the enclosure assembly being constructed to fit the outer edge of a regular polygonal prism of the medical testing container, and the plurality of enclosure assemblies being connected end to end to form the top frame.

[0010] Preferably, the plurality of the enclosure components are integrally formed into the top frame.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the medical testing container provided by this utility model is not easy to roll or tip over when empty. Its regular polygonal shape is more conducive to storage, centralized management and transportation.

[0012] It should be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and illustrative only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0023] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model relates to a medical testing container, comprising a bottle body 11 and a cap. The main body of the bottle body 11 is a regular polygonal prism structure, and its top has a first opening (not shown in the figure). A first cap 12 is threaded onto the first opening. The first cap 12 is circular, and its outer diameter is less than or equal to the inscribed circle diameter of the regular polygon corresponding to the cross-section of the bottle body 11. In this embodiment, the bottle body 11 is actually constructed as a regular hexagonal prism structure, but it is conceivable that a regular pentagon, regular heptagon, or other regular polygon is also feasible, provided that it is easy to process and use. The outline of the regular polygon helps the container maintain stability in storage and prevents it from rolling. If the diameter of the first cap 12 is larger than the inscribed circle diameter of the regular polygon corresponding to the cross-section of the bottle body 11, it may cause interference between the two containers. Therefore, constructing the diameter of the first cap 12 such that its outer diameter is less than or equal to the inscribed circle diameter of the regular polygon corresponding to the cross-section of the bottle body 11 is beneficial for storing multiple containers.

[0024] In some applications, such as when the container needs to be used as a culture vessel for anaerobic bacteria, since it needs to establish an anaerobic environment, it is preferable that the first cover 12 has a gas extraction port 15 for extracting gas and a gas inlet 14 for injecting gas, arranged side by side. The gas extraction port 15 usually needs to be used in conjunction with a vacuum pump, but a medical syringe can also be used temporarily. The gas inlet 14 can be used to inject nitrogen, argon, or a mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas as needed.

[0025] In other applications, such as continuous metabolic experiments involving anaerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and yeast in the medical field, a continuous flow culture system may be required, thus necessitating the continuous discharge of culture medium. Preferably, the bottle body 11 has a second opening 13 at its bottom, and a second cap 13 is threaded onto this opening. The second cap 13 is circular, with its outer diameter less than or equal to the diameter of the inscribed circle of the regular polygon corresponding to the cross-section of the bottle body. The outer diameter of the second cap 13 should also be the same as that of the first cap 12 to avoid interference.

[0026] Figure 1 and Figure 2 This diagram shows the structure of the medical testing container 1 placed on the bracket 2. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the bracket 2 is shown in the figure. As provided in this utility model, a bracket 2 for storing the aforementioned medical testing container includes a base frame and a top frame. The base frame includes a central ring 21 and multiple transverse support rods 22 arranged radially and evenly around the central ring 21. At the same position on each transverse support rod 22, a vertical support rod 23 of the same height is provided. A retaining assembly 24 is provided between two adjacent vertical support rods 23. The retaining assembly 24 is constructed to fit the outer edge of the regular polygonal prism of the medical testing container 1, and multiple retaining assemblies 24 are connected end-to-end to form the top frame. Preferably, for ease of manufacturing, the multiple retaining assemblies 24 can be integrally formed into the top frame.

[0027] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this utility model within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
