Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of in vitro diagnostic reagent (IVD) packaging, and in particular to an in vitro diagnostic reagent outer packaging box with an ascendable inner core. Background Technology

[0002] A reagent outer packaging box is a packaging product used to hold reagent containers, which are usually tubular or bottle-shaped. The reagent containers are housed inside the reagent kit and kept upright for easy access. While current reagent kits offer some degree of ease of handling, some kits are small, and the reagent containers fit too tightly to the box core. This can easily scratch fingers or break the box when handling reagents, affecting operational safety and reagent preservation.

[0003] In addition, most existing reagent kits are made of opaque materials (such as paper), and the labels of the reagent containers / bottles are attached to the side of the tube. The reagent containers are attached to the inside of the core, making it difficult for operators to identify the reagent names from the top. They need to take out the reagent containers one by one to identify them, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] For the reasons mentioned above, this application provides an improvement to the inner core of the reagent kit to solve the problem that existing reagent kits are inconvenient to observe and handle. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides an outer packaging box for in vitro diagnostic reagents with a riserable inner core, which aims to solve the problems of existing reagent kits being inconvenient to access the required reagents from the top and easily causing damage to the reagent kits.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of this utility model provide an outer packaging box for in vitro diagnostic reagents with an ascendable inner core, comprising:

[0007] The box body has an opening at the top and an inner core inside.

[0008] A lid, hinged to the top of the box body, is used to close the opening;

[0009] The inner core includes a bracket and a movable folding plate. The bracket is disposed inside the box and has a base for fixing the reagent container. The movable folding plate is disposed inside the box and below the bracket. The surface of the movable folding plate has a first fold line and a second fold line. The first fold line and the second fold line are parallel and sequentially divide the movable folding plate into a first part, a second part, and a third part. The movable folding plate is fixed to the bottom of the box through the first part.

[0010] Flexible belts are arranged on both sides of the box body. The flexible belts are used to pull the movable folding plate to bend along the first fold line and the second fold line.

[0011] The reagent kit has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the lid is closed, and the movable folding plate lies flat inside the kit. In the second state, the lid is open, and the movable folding plate, driven by the flexible belt assembly, bends in a Z-shape along two fold lines, lifting the tray upwards. Preferably, the first and second fold lines are parallel to each other along the length of the kit and are arranged on the movable folding plate. The portion of the movable folding plate closest to the kit body and the lid, which is hinged to the lid, is a first portion, and this first portion is fixed inside the kit body.

[0012] Each set of flexible strips includes a first flexible strip and a second flexible strip. One end of the first flexible strip and the second flexible strip are connected to the lid, and the other end is connected to the third part.

[0013] Preferably, in each group of flexible strips, the end of the first flexible strip connected to the movable folding plate is located in the third part, and the end of the second flexible strip connected to the movable folding plate is located at the junction of the second part and the third part.

[0014] Preferably, the length and width of the bracket are smaller than the length and width of the movable folding plate.

[0015] Preferably, the third part is provided with a limiting protrusion, the limiting protrusion having a length direction, and the length direction of the limiting protrusion being the same as the length direction of the movable folding plate;

[0016] A limiting hole is provided at the bottom of the bracket, the limiting hole having a length direction, and the length direction of the limiting hole is the same as the length direction of the movable folding plate;

[0017] The limiting protrusion is fitted inside the limiting hole and can slide along the length of the limiting hole.

[0018] Preferably, the inner core further includes a fixing plate, which is fixed inside the box and located above the bracket. The fixing plate has a through hole corresponding to the position of the base.

[0019] Preferably, both the bracket and the movable folding plate are made of rigid material.

[0020] Preferably, the lid has a first side and a second side, the first side is used to hinge the first sidewall of the box body, and the second side is provided with a flange that can be adsorbed onto the second sidewall of the box body, with the first sidewall and the second sidewall of the box body facing each other.

[0021] Preferably, a magnetic module is provided on the flange, and an adsorption element that can be adsorbed by the magnetic module is provided on the second side wall.

[0022] Preferably, the first flexible strip and the second flexible strip are made of a non-stretchable flexible material.

[0023] The above-mentioned solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] In this application, the reagent kit is placed in different states by opening the lid. In the first state, the lid is closed, and the reagent kit functions the same as a conventional reagent kit, which can be used for storage and transportation. When the reagent kit is in the second state, the lid is opened and the flexible belt assembly is pulled, causing the movable flap to bend in a Z-shape. The third part of the movable flap is raised vertically to a certain height. During the raising process, the bracket located above the movable flap also rises upward, pushing all the reagent containers upwards a certain distance from the reagent kit.

[0025] In this application, because the reagent container can be lifted upwards by a bracket, the top of the container is no longer limited by the size of the reagent kit. Operators can remove the container from the top of the kit without worrying about breaking it. Simultaneously, lifting the container also reveals the label on the side of the tube, making it easier for the operator to identify the required reagent.

[0026] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides an outer packaging box for in vitro diagnostic reagents with a riseable inner core, including a box body 100 and a box lid 200. The top of the box body 100 has an opening, and the box lid 200 is hinged to the top of the box body 100 to seal the opening. Since the box body 100 and the box lid 200 are connected by a hinge, the box lid 200 can rotate relative to the box body 100.

[0040] An inner core is provided inside the box body 100, including a bracket 310 and a movable folding plate 320. The bracket 310 is disposed within the box body 100 and has a base 311 for inserting a reagent container, which maintains the reagent container in an upright position. The movable folding plate 320 is also disposed within the box body 100, located below the bracket 310. The surface of the movable folding plate 320 has a first fold line 321 and a second fold line 322. The first fold line 321 and the second fold line 322 are pre-folded lines, allowing the movable folding plate 320 to bend accordingly along the first fold line 321 and the second fold line 322 when subjected to force. In this application, the first fold line 321 and the second fold line 322 are parallel, and the movable fold plate 320 is divided into three parts, namely the first part 323, the second part 324 and the third part 325. The movable fold plate 320 is fixed to the bottom of the box body 100 and close to the side of the box body 100 and the lid 200 through the first part 323.

[0041] The kit also includes flexible bands, with two sets of flexible bands. Each set of flexible bands is located on both sides of the box body 100 width. The flexible bands are used to pull the movable folding plate 320 to bend along the first fold line 321 and the second fold line 322.

[0042] In this application, the reagent kit has a first state and a second state. When the reagent kit is in the first state, the lid 200 is in the closed state, i.e., the opening is closed. At this time, since the flexible belt assembly is not under force, the movable flap 320 is laid flat inside the box 100 under the action of the bracket 310 and the reagent container on the bracket 310. The reagent kit in the first state has the same function as a conventional reagent kit, and can serve the purpose of containing and transporting.

[0043] When the reagent kit is in the second state, the lid 200 is rotated open. At this time, the flexible band is stressed, pulling the third part 325 of the movable folding plate 320. The movable folding plate 320 bends in a Z-shape under the action of the flexible band, and the third part 325 is lifted upward. At this time, the bracket 310 set inside the box body 100 is lifted upward under the action of the third part 325, thereby raising the top of the reagent container above the opening for easy access and confirmation by the user.

[0044] The aforementioned movable folding plate 320 has a length direction, which is the same as the length direction of the box body 100. The first fold line 321 and the second fold line 322 are arranged parallel to the length direction of the movable folding plate 320. That is, the movable folding plate 320 is divided into the aforementioned first part 323, second part 324 and third part 325 in the length direction by the first fold line 321 and the second fold line 322. The first part 323 is fixed to the bottom of the box body 100, and the first part 323 is close to the side of the box body 100 that is hinged to the lid 200.

[0045] Preferably, the first part 323 is adhered to the inside of the box body 100.

[0046] Two sets of flexible strips are respectively arranged at intervals in the width direction of the box cover 200. Each set of flexible strips includes a first flexible strip 410 and a second flexible strip 420. One end of the first flexible strip 410 and the second flexible strip 420 are respectively fixed on the box cover 200, and the other end of the first flexible strip 410 and the second flexible strip 420 are respectively fixed on the third part 325.

[0047] Furthermore, the end of the first flexible strip 410 connected to the movable folding plate 320 in each group is located in the third part 325, and the end of the second flexible strip 420 connected to the movable folding plate 320 is located at the junction of the second part 324 and the third part 325.

[0048] In this embodiment, two first flexible bands 410 are used to pull the movable folding plate 320 to bend along the first fold line 321 and the second fold line 322. The second flexible band 420, in conjunction with the first flexible bands 410, ensures that the third part 325 is horizontal or nearly horizontal in the second state, providing sufficient support for the bracket 310 and maintaining its stability. It is understood that the maximum height of the bracket 310 is the distance between the first fold line 321 and the second fold line 322.

[0049] Preferably, the first flexible strip 410 and the second flexible strip 420 are made of a non-stretchable flexible material, such as silk, polyethylene or polypropylene.

[0050] In this application, the bracket 310 can slide in the box body 100. In order to ensure smooth sliding, the width of the bracket 310 is less than the width of the movable folding plate 320, and the length of the bracket 310 is less than the length of the box body 100, so that there is a gap between the bracket 310 and the inner wall of the box body 100, so as to avoid hindering the lifting of the bracket 310.

[0051] The width of the movable folding plate 320 is equal to the width of the inner cavity of the box body 100, and its length is equal to the length of the inner cavity of the box body 100, thus ensuring that the movable folding plate 320 can be accommodated inside the box body 100 when laid flat. In actual production, the width of the movable folding plate 320 can be slightly smaller than the width of the inner cavity of the box body 100, thereby avoiding the box body 100 from hindering the movement of the movable folding plate 320.

[0052] The aforementioned inner core may also include a fixing plate 330, which is adhered to the inside of the box body 100. The fixing plate 330 has a through hole 331 for the reagent container to pass through. The fixing plate 330 is adhered to the inner wall of the box body 100 and is located above the bracket 310. The through hole 331 is opposite to the base 311. When the lower end of the reagent container is inserted into the base 311, the upper end passes through the through hole 331. The cooperation between the fixing plate 330 and the base 311 can ensure that the reagent container remains vertical during lifting and lowering. Compared with using the base 311 alone, the cooperation of the fixing plate 330 can better maintain the vertical position of the reagent container.

[0053] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion 312 is provided on the third part 325, located on the upper surface of the third part 325. The limiting protrusion 312 has a length direction, which is the same as the length direction of the movable folding plate 320. Correspondingly, a limiting hole 313 is provided below the bracket 310, which also has a length direction, which is the same as the length direction of the movable folding plate 320. The aforementioned limiting protrusion 312 is fitted into the limiting hole 313 and can slide along the length direction of the limiting hole 313.

[0054] In this embodiment, the bracket 310 includes a tray and a support portion. The support portion is disposed below the tray. There are two support portions, which are arranged side by side along the width direction of the tray. The support portion is a rectangular ring with a cavity. The limiting hole 313 is located at the bottom of the support portion, and the limiting protrusion 312 extends into the cavity through the limiting hole 313.

[0055] Both the bracket 310 and the movable folding plate 320 are made of rigid materials, such as rigid cardboard, to ensure that the bracket 310 and the movable folding plate 320 have the ability to resist deformation and prevent deformation due to the weight of the reagent container.

[0056] The kit remains closed during use, always in the first state. It only switches to the second state when the reagent container needs to be removed, and automatically switches back to the first state after the lid is released. This kit avoids direct light exposure and can therefore be used to store reagents that require high light protection.

[0057] Since the reagent kit needs to be opened frequently to take out the reagent during use, and the lid 200 needs to automatically fall back and close, the existing reagent kit uses an airplane box form for sealing, which is prone to jamming and inconvenient to open the lid 200 frequently. Therefore, this application has also optimized the structure of the lid 200.

[0058] In this application, the lid 200 has a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is hinged to the first side wall of the box body 100, so that the lid 200 can rotate relative to the box body 100, and the second side opposite to the first side is provided with a flange 210, which can rotate relative to the lid 200 and can be attached to the second side wall of the box body 100.

[0059] In this embodiment, after the operator loosens the lid 200, the lid 200 rotates around the first side wall to complete the locking, and the flange 210 is attached to the box body 100, simplifying the process of closing and opening the lid.

[0060] Preferably, a magnetic module is provided on the flange 210, and an adsorption unit is provided on the second sidewall. The adsorption unit and the magnetic module can be attracted to each other. In this embodiment, the magnetic module is a magnet, and the adsorption unit is an iron sheet.

[0061] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
