[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0016] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a breast biopsy specimen collection box includes a box body 1 and a sealing cover 2 hinged to the box body 1. A handle 3, which can be stored in the box body 1, is slidably mounted on the sealing cover 2. An automatic locking mechanism 4 is provided between the box body 1 and the sealing cover 2. The box body 1 has several storage compartments 11 inside, and each storage compartment 11 has rounded corners 12 integrally formed at its four corners. In this design, the several storage compartments 11 allow for the classified placement of different breast biopsy specimens, avoiding specimen confusion. The rounded corners 12 at the corners of the storage compartments 11 eliminate right-angle dead angles, facilitating cleaning of the inside of the storage compartments 11 and preventing residual dirt from affecting use during cleaning.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the specific embodiment, a lower sealing strip 13 is installed around each storage compartment 11 on the box body 1, and an upper sealing strip 21 is installed at the bottom of the sealing cover 2 corresponding to each storage compartment 11. The upper sealing strip 21 and the lower sealing strip 13 are arranged vertically and vertically, and an anti-slip pad 15 is installed at the bottom of the box body 1. In this configuration, when the sealing cover 2 is closed, the upper sealing strip 21 and the lower sealing strip 13 can be fitted together to form an independent seal for each storage compartment 11, and the anti-slip pad 15 can increase the friction between the box body 1 and the placement surface.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the sealing cover 2 is made of transparent material. A label slot 22 is installed on the top of the sealing cover 2 corresponding to the position of each storage compartment 11. The sealing cover 2 has a sliding groove 23 and a placement groove 24, which are connected to the sliding groove 23. A square groove 14 is provided in the middle of the box body 1, and the square groove 14 is vertically aligned with the placement groove 24. In this configuration, the transparent sealing cover 2 allows direct observation of the specimens inside the storage compartment 11. The label slots 22 can be used to insert labels that indicate the information of the specimens inside the storage compartment 11, facilitating quick identification of the specimens. The sliding groove 23 and the placement groove 24 provide space for the storage and sliding of the handle 3.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the handle 3 is further slidably inserted into the groove 23, and a connecting rod 31 is connected to the bottom of the handle 3. The end of the connecting rod 31 away from the handle 3 extends into the square groove 14. In this configuration, the connecting rod 31 can limit the movement of the handle 3.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 further includes a connecting block 41 connected to the outer wall of the box body 1 and a rotating shaft 42 connected to the outer wall of the sealing cover 2. A rotating rod 43 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 42, and a locking block 44 is connected to the rotating rod 43. A locking groove 45 is provided on the connecting block 41, and the locking groove 45 is adapted to the locking block 44. A torsion spring is connected between the rotating rod 43 and the sealing cover 2, and the torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft 42. In this configuration, the torsion spring applies an elastic force to the rotating rod 43. When the locking block 44 corresponds to the locking groove 45, the force of the torsion spring can push the locking block 44 into the locking groove 45, thereby locking the box body 1 and the sealing cover 2.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the connecting block 41 is further provided with a guide surface 46 on the side facing the sealing cover 2. The guide surface 46 is inclined and extends to the opening of the slot 45. In this configuration, the inclined guide surface 46 can guide the locking block 44 during the closing process of the sealing cover 2. After the locking block 44 contacts the guide surface 46, it will push the rotating rod 43 to rotate around the rotating shaft 42 along the inclined direction of the guide surface 46. The locking block 44 can be smoothly slid to the opening of the slot 45 without manually moving the rotating rod 43.
[0022] The implementation principle of the breast biopsy specimen collection box in this embodiment is as follows: When in use, first rotate the rotating rod 43 of the locking mechanism 4 so that the rotating rod 43 drives the locking block 44 to disengage from the locking groove 45 on the connecting block 41, and then open the sealing cover 2 hinged to the box body 1. Then, place the breast biopsy specimen into the corresponding storage compartment 11 with rounded corners 12 inside the box body 1. Then, insert the label with the label information into the label groove 22 corresponding to each storage compartment 11 on the top of the sealing cover 2.
[0023] When the sealing cover 2 is closed, the sealing cover 2 rotates downward with the hinge. When the locking block 44 on the rotating rod 43 contacts the guide surface 46 of the connecting block 41, it will push the rotating rod 43 to rotate around the rotating shaft 42 along the inclined guide surface 46 and compress the torsion spring. When the sealing cover 2 is completely closed on the box body 1, the torsion spring resets and drives the rotating rod 43 to rotate back, so that the locking block 44 automatically locks into the slot 45, completing the locking of the sealing cover 2 and the box body 1. At this time, the upper sealing strip 21 at the bottom of the sealing cover 2 and the lower sealing strip 13 on the box body 1 are in corresponding contact.
[0024] When the storage box needs to be moved, pull the handle 3 inside the sliding groove 23 of the sealing cover 2 upwards. The handle 3 will drive the connecting rod 31 at the bottom to extend out from the square groove 14 of the box body 1 and the placement groove 24 of the sealing cover 2. The storage box can be moved by holding the handle 3. After moving, release the handle 3. Under the action of gravity, the handle 3 will retract into the square groove 14 and the placement groove 24 along with the connecting rod 31, without obstructing the label in the label groove 22. It is also convenient to stack the storage boxes. The anti-slip pad 15 at the bottom of the box body 1 can prevent slipping when placed. The transparent sealing cover 2 allows direct observation of the specimen in the storage compartment 11.
