Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biological sample transport equipment technology, specifically to a lock for a human tissue biological sample transport box. Background Technology
[0002] Human tissue biological samples (such as pathological tissues, gene samples, and stem cells) are crucial resources for medical research and clinical diagnosis. Their transport process must meet stringent safety, sealing, and confidentiality requirements to prevent contamination, loss, substitution, or unauthorized access. The unique nature of these samples necessitates that transport boxes possess highly reliable locking structures to prevent security breaches during transportation and storage. Currently, most biological sample transport boxes use traditional mechanical locks (such as pin tumbler locks or leaf locks) or conventional electromagnetic locks, which have the following significant drawbacks:
[0003] Traditional mechanical locks have their bolts and cylinders exposed on the outside of the container, making them vulnerable to damage from tools like crowbars and wire cutters. Electromagnetic locks have significant gaps between the lock body and the suction plate, allowing criminals to pry them open with thin blades, making them unsafe for transporting high-grade biological samples. Existing locks often use a rigid fit between the locking pin and the keyhole, requiring precise alignment for locking. However, transport containers may deform slightly during transport due to vibration and bumps, causing the locking pin to jam or fail to insert accurately, affecting locking reliability and even resulting in "false locks."
[0004] Furthermore, the concealment of locks is crucial in biological sample transport scenarios. Existing locks often have exposed locking structures (such as keyholes and bolts), making them susceptible to corrosion from the external environment and providing opportunities for unauthorized opening, thus failing to meet the security requirements for high-risk sample transport.
[0005] Therefore, designing a transport box lock with features such as internal concealed locking, resistance to forced entry, and low-precision adaptation is of great significance for ensuring the safe transport of human tissue biological samples. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a lock for a human tissue biological sample transport box, which solves the problems of low security, easy jamming and high precision requirements of existing locks, and achieves high security locking requirements.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a lock for a human tissue biological sample transport box, including a linear geared motor module, a pin, a locking seat, and a locking hook; the linear geared motor module and the locking seat are arranged horizontally opposite each other, the output end of the linear geared motor module is movably connected to one end of the pin, the locking seat is provided with a locking channel arranged along the extension and retraction direction of the output end of the linear geared motor module, and the end of the pin away from the linear geared motor module is movably adapted to the locking channel; the locking seat is also provided with a locking groove communicating with the locking channel, and the lower end of the locking hook is provided with a locking hook part that can be inserted into the locking channel along the locking groove. After the locking hook part is inserted into the locking channel, the end of the pin can be locked on the locking hook part under the push of the linear geared motor module.
[0008] The locking structure provided in this technical solution is used to improve the safety of the transport box during transport. The linear geared motor module and the locking seat structure are horizontally arranged opposite each other on the inner side wall of the transport box. The locking hook can be fixed on the box cover. When the box cover is opened or closed, the locking hook can be disengaged or inserted into the locking groove. After the box cover is closed, the linear geared motor module can drive the pin, so that the end of the pin is inserted into the locking channel and locked on the locking hook, thereby completing the locking of the box. The locking position of the locking hook and the pin is located in the locking seat. After the box cover is closed, it can prevent the locking seat and the internal locking structure from being forcibly opened, effectively reducing the possibility of the transport box being forcibly opened. At the same time, the output end of the linear geared motor module is connected to the pin, so that the pin has a certain degree of freedom of displacement when it moves, thereby reducing the running accuracy of the pin and realizing non-linear insertion movement, ensuring that the pin can always be inserted into the locking channel to lock the locking hook.
[0009] Preferably, it also includes a motor mount for fixing the linear geared motor module, and a support plate is fixed on the motor mount.
[0010] Preferably, the output end of the linear geared motor module is provided with a hinge, which is movably connected to a pin and a latch.
[0011] Preferably, the upper end of the locking hook is provided with a fixing plate.
[0012] Preferably, the locking seat has fixing parts on the upper and lower sides at both ends.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] I. This utility model forms an internal locking space through the locking channel and locking groove of the locking seat. After the locking hook is inserted, it is locked in the locking channel by the pin. The key locking structure is completely hidden inside the locking seat, which can effectively prevent external force prying or technical opening. It blocks the illegal opening path from the physical structure and meets the high level of confidentiality and security requirements of human tissue biological samples for transportation.
[0015] II. In this utility model, the output end of the linear geared motor module and the pin are connected movably, allowing the pin to undergo a slight angular offset during extension and retraction. This allows for slight displacement of the transport box due to transportation vibrations and temperature deformation, preventing jamming and incomplete locking, and ensuring that the pin can always be accurately inserted into the locking channel and reliably locked. Furthermore, the movable connection structure reduces the hard friction between the pin and the locking channel, reducing component wear. The connection between the lock hook and the box lid is simple during installation, and the overall structure does not occupy excessive internal space, facilitating integration with different sizes of biological sample transport boxes without affecting the box's sealing performance. It is suitable for rapid opening and closing of the box lid in clean environments such as biosafety cabinets, and has high practical value. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides a lock for a human tissue biological sample transport box. This lock is installed inside the transport box to achieve the unlocking and locking functions of the transport box. Specifically, it includes a linear geared motor module 100, a pin 200, a locking seat 300, and a locking hook 400. The linear geared motor module 100 and the locking seat 300 are arranged horizontally opposite each other. The output end of the linear geared motor module 100 is movably connected to one end of the pin 200. The locking seat 300 is provided with a locking mechanism that extends along the linear geared motor module 100. The locking channel 310 is arranged in the extension direction of the output end. The end of the pin 200 away from the linear geared motor module 100 is movably adapted to the locking channel 310. The locking seat 300 is also provided with a locking groove 320 communicating with the locking channel 310. The lower end of the locking hook 400 is provided with a locking hook part 410 that can be inserted into the locking channel 310 along the locking groove 320. After the locking hook part 410 is inserted into the locking channel 310, the end of the pin 200 can be locked on the locking hook part 410 under the push of the linear geared motor module 100.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, through the above-described configuration, the lock structure provided in this embodiment is used to improve the safety of the box during transport. The linear reduction motor module 100 and the locking seat 300 are arranged horizontally opposite each other on the inner side wall of the transport box. The locking hook 400 can be fixed to the box cover. When the box cover is opened or closed, the locking hook 400 can be disengaged or inserted into the locking groove 320. After the box cover is closed, the linear reduction motor module 100 can drive the pin 200, causing the end of the pin 200 to insert into the locking channel 310 and lock onto the locking hook 410, thereby completing the locking of the box. The locking mechanism of the lock body, with the locking hook 400 and the locking pin 200 located within the locking seat 300, prevents the locking seat 300 and its internal locking structure from being forcibly opened after the box is closed, effectively reducing the possibility of the transfer box being forcibly opened. At the same time, the output end of the linear geared motor module 100 is connected to the pin 200, allowing the locking pin to have a certain degree of freedom of displacement when it moves, thereby reducing the running accuracy of the locking pin and realizing non-linear insertion movement, ensuring that the pin 200 can always be inserted into the locking channel 310 to lock the hook part. In practical applications, the linear geared motor module 100 is connected to the microcontroller and power supply inside the transport box via a circuit. The microcontroller controls the operation of the linear geared motor module 100 and locks or unlocks it via a control panel on the box or a wireless control device. In addition, the transport box is also equipped with a data interface for implementing an emergency unlocking function. Specifically, in an emergency, the microcontroller is connected via the data interface, and the linear motor module is controlled using a proprietary protocol to achieve emergency unlocking. The above control and connection technologies are existing technologies. The linear geared motor module 100 can be selected according to the actual design requirements, and a planetary gear linear geared motor can be preferred due to its higher safety advantages, which will not be elaborated here.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to ensure the linear geared motor module 100 can be stably installed inside the transport box, this embodiment also provides a motor base 500 for fixing the linear geared motor module 100. A support plate 600 is fixed on the motor base 500. Thus, the linear geared motor module 100 can be fixed on the motor base 500 and simultaneously installed inside the side wall of the transport box via the support plate 600, ensuring the stability of the linear geared motor module 100 installation. Meanwhile, the locking seat 300 has fixing parts 330 on its upper and lower ends. The locking seat can be fixed inside the transport box via the fixing parts 330. During installation, it can be fixed using bolts or other fasteners. During installation, the linear geared motor module 100 and the locking seat 300 are arranged at the same height. Furthermore, this embodiment has a fixing plate 800 on the upper end of the locking hook 400. The locking hook 400 can be installed inside the lid of the transport box via the fixing plate 800. When the lid is closed, the lower end of the locking hook 400 can be inserted into the locking groove 320.
[0026] As mentioned above, the output end of the linear geared motor module 100 needs to be movably connected to the pin 200. In this embodiment, a hinge part is provided at the output end of the linear geared motor module 100. The hinge part is movably connected to the pin 200 through a pin 700. In this way, the pin 700 can be installed at the hinge part position so that it can be movably connected to the end of the pin 200, reducing the movement accuracy of the pin 200, thereby ensuring that the pin 200 can be inserted into the locking channel 310 under the drive of the motor.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, after the device is installed inside the transport box, when the transport box cover is closed, the locking hook part of the locking hook 400 is inserted into the locking channel 310 through the locking groove 320; the linear geared motor module 100 drives the pin 200 to extend, and the end of the pin 200 enters the locking channel 310 and is locked on the locking hook part to achieve locking; when opening, the linear geared motor module 100 drives the pin 200 to retract, the locking hook part exits from the locking groove 320, and the box cover can be opened.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
