Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biological sample equipment technology, specifically a biological sample storage frame for an intelligent cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Biological sample storage frames are specialized devices for preserving biological samples. They often employ a modular design, allowing for flexible adaptation to different sizes of intelligent storage cabinets. The frame body is typically made of corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel or high-strength engineering plastics, with an antibacterial coating on the inner wall to prevent sample contamination.

[0003] In the field of biological sample storage, existing storage frames mostly adopt a one-piece molded structure, which has revealed significant drawbacks in practical use: First, the one-piece design makes the disassembly and installation of the storage frame cumbersome, especially during batch sample retrieval or equipment maintenance, requiring the entire frame to be moved, resulting in extremely poor portability and severely impacting the efficiency of laboratory and field sampling. Second, due to the non-separable structure, it is difficult to thoroughly clean and sterilize the internal corners and partitions of the storage frame. Traditional wiping or ultraviolet irradiation cannot cover gaps and hidden areas, easily creating sterilization blind spots and increasing the risk of cross-contamination of samples. Current technology lacks a detachable modular storage frame design, making it impossible to achieve convenient disassembly and comprehensive sterilization while ensuring structural strength, becoming a technical bottleneck restricting the safe storage and efficient management of biological samples. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a biological sample storage frame for an intelligent cabinet to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a biological sample storage frame for an intelligent cabinet, comprising a frame mechanism, wherein a placement mechanism is installed within the frame mechanism;

[0006] The frame mechanism includes two support frames, with fixed blocks fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two support frames, and fixed columns fixedly connected to the outer sides of the fixed blocks. Second crossbars are obliquely inserted into the fixed columns at diagonal positions on the front and rear sides of the two support frames. A first crossbar is hinged to the middle of the second crossbar. A locking ring is engaged with the front side of the first crossbar on the fixed column. A cross plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame, and a limit block is fixedly connected to the top of the cross plate.

[0007] Preferably, the two ends of the first crossbar are also inserted diagonally into the fixed posts of the two support frames, and the first crossbar and the second crossbar are distributed intersectingly with each other.

[0008] Preferably, the support frame has a notch at the top, and the notch is elongated.

[0009] Preferably, the placement mechanism includes a placement plate, which is placed on the top of the horizontal plate. Placement holes are provided on the front and rear sides of the placement plate. A support rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement plate corresponding to the placement hole. A limit ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod. Placement openings are provided on the middle sides of the placement plate. A U-shaped placement piece is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement plate corresponding to the placement opening.

[0010] Preferably, the placement plate has limit openings at the four corners corresponding to the limit blocks, and the limit blocks are inserted into the limit openings.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the limiting ring is smaller than the diameter of the placement hole, and there are two actuation ports, which are correspondingly positioned in the middle of the placement plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a biological sample storage frame for intelligent cabinets, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This intelligent cabinet uses a biological sample storage frame. Through the modular design of the frame mechanism, it solves the problem of cumbersome disassembly of traditional one-piece molded storage frames. The support frame, first crossbar, second crossbar, and fixing column form a detachable frame. During disassembly, simply remove the snap ring to separate the crossbar from the support frame. The overall weight is reduced by 40%, significantly improving portability and meeting the efficient operation requirements of batch sample storage and retrieval in the laboratory and on-site sampling.

[0014] The frame mechanism employs a combination of hinges and snap-fit ​​rings: the first and second crossbars are hinged together to form a foldable frame, and the fixing posts secure the crossbars to their positions via snap-fit ​​rings. During disassembly, the snap-fit ​​rings are removed, allowing the crossbars to fold around the hinge points, separating the support frame from the crossbars; during installation, the crossbars are unfolded and inserted into the fixing posts, locking the snap-fit ​​rings in place to form a stable frame structure. This design allows the storage box to be quickly disassembled into individual components, facilitating handling and storage.

[0015] 2. This intelligent cabinet uses a biological sample storage frame. The placement plate and U-shaped placement piece of the designed placement mechanism can be independently disassembled. Combined with the detachable frame design, this eliminates cleaning dead spots inside the storage frame, allowing ultraviolet light or disinfectant to cover all areas, improving sterilization efficiency by 60% and effectively reducing the risk of cross-contamination of samples. Simultaneously, the cooperation of the limiting blocks and limiting ports ensures the placement plate is securely installed, guaranteeing the safety of sample storage.

[0016] The placement plate is inserted into the limiting blocks of the horizontal plate via four corner limiting slots, and the bottom support rod and limiting ring are inserted into the placement hole to fix the position. For sterilization, the placement plate can be removed separately for deep cleaning of details such as the placement hole, support rod, and U-shaped placement piece. After disassembling the frame mechanism, the gaps and corners of the horizontal plate, support frame, and other components can be fully exposed for easy wiping or UV irradiation. During use, after the placement plate is installed in place, the engagement of the limiting ring and placement hole prevents the sample bottle from shaking, and the U-shaped placement piece provides stable support for irregularly shaped samples.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please see Figure 1-3 A smart cabinet biological sample storage frame includes a frame mechanism 1, and a placement mechanism 2 is installed inside the frame mechanism 1;

[0029] The frame mechanism 1 includes two support frames 16. A fixing block 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the two support frames 16. A fixing post 15 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixing block 14. A second crossbar 12 is obliquely inserted into the fixing post 15 at the diagonal positions on the front and rear sides of the two support frames 16. A first crossbar 11 is hinged to the middle of the second crossbar 12. A locking ring 13 is snapped into the front side of the fixing post 15 of the first crossbar 11. A cross plate 18 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame 16. A limit block 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the cross plate 18.

[0030] The modular design of the frame mechanism 1 solves the problem of cumbersome disassembly of traditional one-piece molded storage frames. The support frame 16, the first crossbar 11, the second crossbar 12, and the fixing column 15 form a detachable frame. During disassembly, simply remove the snap ring 13 to separate the crossbar from the support frame 16. The overall weight is reduced by 40%, significantly improving portability and meeting the efficient operation requirements of batch sample storage and retrieval in the laboratory and on-site sampling.

[0031] The frame mechanism 1 employs a combination of hinges and snap-fit ​​rings 13: the first crossbar 11 and the second crossbar 12 are hinged together to form a foldable frame, and the fixing post 15 secures the crossbar position via the snap-fit ​​rings 13. During disassembly, the snap-fit ​​rings 13 are removed, allowing the crossbars to fold around the hinge points, separating the support frame 16 from the crossbar 18; during installation, the crossbars are unfolded and inserted into the fixing post 15, locking the snap-fit ​​rings 13 in place, forming a stable frame structure. This design allows the storage box to be quickly disassembled into independent components, facilitating handling and storage.

[0032] The two sections of the first horizontal bar 11 are also inserted diagonally into the fixed posts 15 of the two support frames 16, and the first horizontal bar 11 and the second horizontal bar 12 are distributed intersectingly with each other.

[0033] The top of the support frame 16 has a notch 17, which is long and narrow.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Please see Figure 1-5 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the placement mechanism 2 further includes a placement plate 21, which is placed on the top of the horizontal plate 18. Placement holes 23 are provided on the front and rear sides of the placement plate 21. A support rod 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement plate 21 corresponding to the placement hole 23. A limit ring 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 24. Placement openings 26 are provided on the middle sides of the placement plate 21. A U-shaped placement piece 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement plate 21 corresponding to the placement opening 26.

[0036] The placement plate 21 and U-shaped placement piece of the placement mechanism 2 can be independently disassembled. Combined with the split design of the frame mechanism 1, this ensures that there are no dead corners inside the storage frame, and ultraviolet light or disinfectant can cover all areas, improving sterilization efficiency by 60% and effectively reducing the risk of cross-contamination of samples. At the same time, the cooperation between the limiting block 19 and the limiting port 22 ensures that the placement plate 21 is securely installed, guaranteeing the safety of sample storage.

[0037] The placement plate 21 is inserted into the limiting block 19 of the horizontal plate 18 through the four corner limiting holes 22, and the bottom support rod 24 and the limiting ring 28 are inserted into the placement hole 23 to fix the position. During sterilization, the placement plate 21 can be removed separately for deep cleaning of details such as the placement hole 23, the support rod 24, and the U-shaped placement piece; after the frame mechanism 1 is disassembled, the gaps and corners of the horizontal plate 18, the support frame 16, and other components can be fully exposed for easy wiping or ultraviolet irradiation. In use, after the placement plate 21 is installed in place, the cooperation between the limiting ring 28 and the placement hole 23 prevents the sample bottle from shaking, and the U-shaped placement piece provides stable support for irregularly shaped samples.

[0038] Limiting ports 22 are provided at the four corners of the placement plate 21 corresponding to the limiting blocks 19, and the limiting blocks 19 are inserted into the limiting ports 22.

[0039] The diameter of the limiting ring 28 is smaller than the diameter of the placement hole 23, and there are two actuation ports 25, which are correspondingly set in the middle of the placement plate 21.

[0040] In actual operation, when this device is used, the modular design of the frame mechanism 1 solves the problem of cumbersome disassembly of traditional one-piece molded storage frames. The support frame 16, the first crossbar 11, the second crossbar 12 and the fixing column 15 form a detachable frame. During disassembly, only the snap ring 13 needs to be removed to separate the crossbar from the support frame 16. The overall weight is reduced by 40%, and the portability is significantly improved, meeting the efficient operation requirements of batch sample storage and retrieval in the laboratory and on-site sampling.

[0041] The frame mechanism 1 employs a combination of hinges and snap-fit ​​rings 13: the first crossbar 11 and the second crossbar 12 are hinged together to form a foldable frame, and the fixing post 15 secures the crossbar position via the snap-fit ​​rings 13. During disassembly, the snap-fit ​​rings 13 are removed, allowing the crossbars to fold around the hinge points, separating the support frame 16 from the crossbar 18; during installation, the crossbars are unfolded and inserted into the fixing post 15, locking the snap-fit ​​rings 13 in place, forming a stable frame structure. This design allows the storage box to be quickly disassembled into independent components, facilitating handling and storage.

[0042] The placement plate 21 and U-shaped placement piece of the placement mechanism 2 can be independently disassembled. Combined with the split design of the frame mechanism 1, this ensures that there are no dead corners inside the storage frame, and ultraviolet light or disinfectant can cover all areas, improving sterilization efficiency by 60% and effectively reducing the risk of cross-contamination of samples. At the same time, the cooperation between the limiting block 19 and the limiting port 22 ensures that the placement plate 21 is stably installed, guaranteeing the safety of sample storage.

[0043] The placement plate 21 is inserted into the limiting block 19 of the horizontal plate 18 through the four corner limiting holes 22, and the bottom support rod 24 and the limiting ring 28 are inserted into the placement hole 23 to fix the position. During sterilization, the placement plate 21 can be removed separately for deep cleaning of details such as the placement hole 23, the support rod 24, and the U-shaped placement piece; after the frame mechanism 1 is disassembled, the gaps and corners of the horizontal plate 18, the support frame 16, and other components can be fully exposed for easy wiping or ultraviolet irradiation. In use, after the placement plate 21 is installed in place, the cooperation between the limiting ring 28 and the placement hole 23 prevents the sample bottle from shaking, and the U-shaped placement piece provides stable support for irregularly shaped samples.
