Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of specimen storage technology, specifically a specimen storage box that is easy to access. Background Technology
[0002] When collecting medical specimens such as urine, feces, blood, and pathological tissues, different specimen tubes are usually used to collect and store them for easy identification. Since different specimen tubes have different uses and have expiration dates, specimen tubes are currently usually stacked together and randomly used. This not only makes it easy for specimen tubes to break during placement and handling, but also often leads to specimen tubes with different expiration dates being mixed together, resulting in specimen tubes with earlier expiration dates becoming unusable.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, we have made improvements by proposing an easy-to-access specimen storage box. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model provides a specimen storage box that is easy to access, including a storage box and a top cover. The storage box has several partitions installed inside, which divide the interior of the storage box into several placement cavities of different sizes. Several inclined plates are installed alternately in the placement cavities. Several blocks corresponding to the placement cavities are installed on the rear side of the storage box.
[0006] The storage box has an outlet at the bottom front side that corresponds to the placement cavity. A placement groove is hinged at the outlet, and an extension and a pull ring are connected to the front side of the placement groove.
[0007] The front of the storage box is connected to several hooks.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the tube placement groove is a concave arc-shaped groove, the extension member and the tube placement groove are an integrated structure, the pull ring is hinged to the front edge of the extension member, and docking seats are respectively installed on both sides of several tube outlets, and the two ends of the tube placement groove are respectively hinged to the docking seats.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front side of the storage box is equipped with several sets of connectors, and springs are connected to the connectors. The other end of the springs is connected to the top of the hooks.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the rear side of the storage box is provided with several reserved slots, and the middle part of several blocks is respectively hinged to the reserved slots by torsion springs.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the stop block remains horizontal when not subjected to external force, and the stop block is located at the end of one of the inclined plates on the same horizontal line.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a number of staggered inclined plates form a channel, and specimen tubes of different specifications are placed in a number of placement cavities.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, when the lower surface of the tube placement groove is horizontal to the outer bottom surface of the storage box, the extension member is horizontal to the bottom surface of the tube outlet.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outlet is located at the lowest point of the bottom inclined plate.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. This easy-to-use specimen storage box divides the internal space of the storage box into several different placement chambers through partitions, so that the width of the placement chambers can accommodate specimen tubes of different sizes. Several staggered inclined plates form a channel, and the specimen tubes are placed in the channel in order of expiration date. Medical staff can take the specimen tubes from the bottom in sequence, which is convenient for use and avoids mistaking.
[0017] 2. The bottom specimen tube rolls down from the outlet into the placement slot along the channel. After the specimen tube in the placement slot is removed, the subsequent specimen tubes continue to roll down under the force of gravity, making it easy for medical staff to retrieve them. The baffle can prevent some specimen tubes from rolling down in the channel, avoiding the accumulation of specimen tubes at the bottom of the channel and reducing the impact when specimen tubes collide with each other inside the storage box.
[0018] 3. When not in use, lift the tube placement slot and hang the pull ring on the hook to seal the tube outlet using the tube placement slot, preventing the specimen tube from being knocked off if left in the tube placement slot for a long time. At the same time, it is convenient to move the specimen storage box as a whole. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0027] Example: Figure 1-5 As shown, an easy-to-use specimen storage box includes a storage box 1 and a top cover 2. The storage box 1 has several partitions 3 installed inside, which divide the storage box 1 into several placement cavities 4 of different sizes. Several inclined plates 5 are installed alternately in the placement cavities 4. The specimen tube 16 rolls down the inclined plates 5 under the action of gravity to the bottom of the storage box 1. Several blocks 13 corresponding to the placement cavities 4 are installed on the rear side of the storage box 1.
[0028] The storage box 1 has an outlet 7 at the bottom front side that corresponds to the placement cavity 4. A placement groove 6 is hinged at the outlet 7. An extension piece 15 and a pull ring 9 are connected to the front side of the placement groove 6.
[0029] The front of the storage box 1 is connected to several hooks 8.
[0030] The tube placement groove 6 is a concave arc-shaped groove. The extension 15 and the tube placement groove 6 are integrated structures. The pull ring 9 is hinged to the front edge of the extension 15. A docking seat 14 is installed on both sides of several tube outlets 7. The two ends of the tube placement groove 6 are hinged to the docking seat 14 respectively.
[0031] Several sets of connectors 11 are installed on the front side of the storage box 1. A spring 10 is connected to the connector 11, and the other end of the spring 10 is connected to the top of the hook 8.
[0032] When the lower surface of the tube placement groove 6 is level with the outer bottom surface of the storage box 1, the extension 15 is level with the bottom surface of the tube outlet 7. That is, when the storage box 1 is placed on the table, the tube placement groove 6 can also be stably placed on the table, preventing the specimen tube 16 from slipping out of the tube placement groove 6.
[0033] Pull the pull ring 9 upwards and hang it on the hook 8. At this time, the tube groove 6 is in a vertical state and the tube outlet 7 is closed to prevent the internal specimen tube 16 from continuing to roll down. This not only prevents the specimen tube 16 from being knocked off due to dust accumulation outside the storage box 1 for a long time, but also reduces the impact on the internal specimen tube 16 when moving the storage box 1.
[0034] The storage box 1 has several reserved slots 12 through its rear side, and the middle parts of several blocks 13 are respectively hinged to the reserved slots 12 by torsion springs.
[0035] When no external force is applied, the stop block 13 remains horizontal, and the stop block 13 is located at the end of one of the inclined plates 5 on the same horizontal line.
[0036] Pressing down on the end of the stop block 13 located outside the storage box 1 will cause the end of the stop block 13 located inside the storage box 1 to tilt upwards until enough space is exposed for the upper specimen tube 16 to roll down. The blocking of the stop block 13 can limit the number of specimen tubes 16 at the bottom layer, prevent the specimen tubes 16 from squeezing each other, and also prevent the specimen tubes 16 from piling up at the bottom layer.
[0037] Several staggered inclined plates 5 form a channel, and several placement cavities 4 contain specimen tubes 16 of different specifications.
[0038] The outlet 7 is located at the lowest point of the bottom inclined plate 5. The specimen tubes 16 are placed in the placement chamber 4 in sequence and classified. Those with an expiration date that is close to the expiration date are placed first. During the retrieval process, the specimen tubes 16 with an expiration date that are close to the expiration date can be used first, reducing the waste of specimen tubes 16.
[0039] Working principle: When using this easy-to-use specimen storage box, specimen tubes 16 are placed sequentially and categorized into the placement chamber 4, with those nearing their expiration date placed first. That is, when the storage box 1 is placed on the table, the tube placement groove 6 can also be stably placed on the table, preventing the specimen tubes 16 from slipping out of the tube placement groove 6. Under the action of gravity, the specimen tubes 16 roll down along several inclined plates 5 to the bottom of the storage box 1. The outermost specimen tube 16 is stuck in the tube placement groove 6, blocking the subsequent specimen tubes 16. Pull the pull ring 9 upward and hang it on the hook 8. At this time, the tube placement groove 6 is in a vertical state and the tube outlet 7 is closed, preventing the internal specimen tubes 16 from continuing to roll down. This not only prevents the specimen tubes 16 from being dusted and knocked off when they are on the outside of the storage box 1 for a long time, but also reduces the impact on the specimen tubes 16 inside when the storage box 1 is moved.
[0040] Pressing down on the end of the stop block 13 located outside the storage box 1 will cause the end of the stop block 13 located inside the storage box 1 to tilt upwards until enough space is exposed for the upper specimen tube 16 to roll down. The blocking of the stop block 13 can limit the number of specimen tubes 16 at the bottom layer, prevent the specimen tubes 16 from squeezing each other, and also prevent the specimen tubes 16 from piling up at the bottom layer.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
