Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical specimen storage technology, specifically to a medical specimen storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Medical institutions need to temporarily or permanently store live or processed specimens during routine diagnostic and research processes. Common specimen types include blood, serum, tissue sections, pathological blocks, cell suspensions, and microbial cultures. To ensure the integrity, viability, and traceability of different specimens, storage devices must meet the following basic requirements: temperature and humidity control, cleanliness and sterilization, and shock and mechanical protection.

[0003] Different specimens have significantly different suitable temperature and humidity ranges. Excessively high temperatures or humidity can lead to microbial growth, protein degradation, or label damage; conversely, excessively low temperatures or humidity can cause frostbite, dehydration, or specimen breakage. Open environments and static storage make specimens susceptible to dust, airborne microorganisms, and cross-contamination. Efficient sterilization methods (such as ultraviolet light, ozone, and filtration) and anti-contamination designs are crucial for ensuring specimen sterility. Specimen bottles or bags are easily damaged by impacts, vibrations, or collisions during handling.

[0004] To maintain the integrity and traceability of specimens, a storage device must be provided that can ensure a sterile environment, meet different temperature and humidity requirements, and is also capable of preventing damage, cross-contamination, and easy management. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that specimens are easily affected by environmental factors during storage, and the purpose is to provide a medical specimen storage device that can provide a sterile environment for specimen storage and prevent specimens from tipping over.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A medical specimen storage device includes a storage box, a shelf inside the storage box for storing specimens, a spacing between adjacent specimens, and a detachable top cover connected to the top of the storage box.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the detachable top cover can quickly open or seal the storage box, which is conducive to daily retrieval and cleaning. The placement rack is arranged at a predetermined interval, which can avoid collisions between specimen bottles or specimen bags and reduce mechanical damage to specimens caused by handling vibrations.

[0008] In some alternative technical solutions, the storage rack includes a first storage group and a second storage group, wherein the first storage group is disposed near the inner wall of the storage box, and the second storage group is disposed near the side of the first storage group away from the storage box.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the placement rack is divided into two levels of storage, which allows different batches or different types of specimens to be stored in separate areas, simplifying the management and retrieval process. The internal and external dual-group layout maximizes the use of the box space, ensuring storage capacity while clearly managing the specimens in layers according to priority or purpose.

[0010] In some alternative technical solutions, the storage box is circular, and the first and second storage groups are arranged around the center of the storage box.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the circular surrounding structure makes the specimens more evenly placed, maintains the center of gravity balance when rotating and placing them, and reduces the risk of tipping over.

[0012] In some alternative technical solutions, the first and second storage groups have opposite circumferential directions.

[0013] In the above technical solution, In some optional technical solutions, both the first storage group and the second storage group include several partitions, the bottom surface of the partitions is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the storage box, and the partitions are inclined to the bottom surface of the storage box.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the inclined partition is set at a certain angle, which can use gravity to help the specimen to naturally adhere, making it easy to extract while reducing the risk of slippage.

[0015] In some alternative technical solutions, a receiving cavity is formed at the bottom center of the storage box, a fan is installed in the receiving cavity, the fan is connected to a power supply, and several air holes are opened on the inner bottom surface of the storage box.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the fan creates convection within the storage box, eliminating localized cold or hot air currents and improving the stability of temperature control. Continuous or timed air circulation can also remove moisture, preventing condensation that could cause the specimen to become damp or breed microorganisms. In some alternative technical solutions, the height of the first storage group is higher than the height of the second storage group, and several of the air holes are arranged close to the second storage group.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the height difference design combined with the concentration of pores prioritizes the introduction of circulating air into the inner layer, ensuring that the inner specimens receive sufficient temperature and humidity regulation. At the same time, through a reasonable airflow path, the outer specimens can also obtain sufficient air exchange, achieving multi-level environmental consistency.

[0018] In some alternative technical solutions, a sterilization lamp is provided on the side of the top cover facing the storage box.

[0019] The above technical solution utilizes ultraviolet high-efficiency sterilization, which can thoroughly disinfect the internal air and surface when the box is closed, reducing human-caused contamination.

[0020] In some alternative technical solutions, a support rod is provided on the bottom surface of the top cover, the sterilization lamp is arranged around the support rod, and a switch for controlling the opening and closing of the sterilization lamp is provided inside the support rod.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the surrounding layout of sterilization lamps achieves 360° blind-spot-free irradiation, significantly improving the sterilization coverage.

[0022] In some alternative technical solutions, the inner bottom surface of the storage box is provided with a boss, and the bottom surface of the support rod is slidably connected to a sliding cover, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the boss.

[0023] In the above technical solution, the cooperation between the boss and the sliding cover can not only fix the position of the support rod and prevent the sterilization lamp from shifting, but also achieve automatic sealing when opening and closing, thus improving airtightness.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: The first and second storage groups, arranged in a surrounding and layered manner, can accommodate more specimens. The inclined partitions can effectively prevent specimen bags or bottles from tipping over during storage. The internal fan and air vents form a circulation system, which, combined with the partition layout, achieves uniform distribution and suppression of temperature and humidity fluctuations.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are for explaining the utility model only and are not intended to limit the utility model. It should be noted that this utility model is already in the actual research and development stage.

[0028] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment includes a storage box 1, which is equipped with a shelf for storing specimens. There is a gap between adjacent specimens. The top of the storage box 1 is detachably connected to a top cover 2.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the storage rack includes a first storage group 3 and a second storage group 4. The first storage group 3 is located near the inner wall of the storage box 1, and the second storage group 4 is located near the side of the first storage group 3 away from the storage box 1.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the storage box 1 is circular, and the first storage group 3 and the second storage group 4 are arranged around the center of the storage box 1.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first storage group 3 and the second storage group 4 have opposite directions of rotation.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both the first storage group 3 and the second storage group 4 include several partitions 5. The bottom surface of the partitions 5 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the storage box 1, and the partitions 5 are inclined to the bottom surface of the storage box 1.

[0033] Specifically, in the diagnostic and research process of medical institutions, specimens need to be stored and preserved. Usually, the specimens are first placed in specimen bags, and then the specimen bags are stored and managed.

[0034] In this embodiment, the top cover 2 can be removed to open the storage box 1, exposing the placement rack. The placement rack includes a first storage group 3 on the outer ring and a second storage group 4 on the inner ring. Both the first storage group 3 and the second storage group 4 are composed of several partitions 5. There are gaps between adjacent partitions 5 in the circumferential direction for placing specimen bags. The specimen bags will be located between two partitions 5, which can effectively restrict them between the partitions 5 and prevent them from falling out.

[0035] The partitions 5 of the first storage group 3 and the second storage group 4 are both inclined. This is to allow the specimen bag containing the specimen to rest against the inclined partition 5 and be limited by the adjacent partition 5, preventing it from shaking and falling off the partition 5 during transportation. The partition 5 in the inner ring of the second storage group 4 rotates in the opposite direction to the partition 5 of the first storage group 3. The partition 5 in the second storage group 4 is located between two adjacent partitions 5 of the first storage group 3, so that the gap between the partitions 5 of the first storage group 3 is also limited by the partitions 5 of the second storage group 4 in the radial direction, which can better stabilize the specimen bag and prevent it from slipping off. Preferably, a retaining ring is provided on the side of the second storage group 4 away from the first storage group 3 to prevent the specimen bag placed in the second storage group 4 from collapsing towards the center of the storage box.

[0036] Example 2 like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the height of the first storage group 3 is higher than the height of the second storage group 4, and several air holes are set close to the second storage group 4.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a receiving cavity is formed at the bottom center of the storage box 1, and a fan 11 is installed inside the receiving cavity. The fan 11 is connected to a power supply, and several air holes are opened on the inner bottom surface of the storage box 1.

[0038] Specifically, the storage box 1 used to store specimens usually needs to be stored in an environment with a relatively stable temperature. At room temperature, the fan 11 can be turned on to circulate the air inside the storage box 1 to avoid local temperatures being too high or too low. Preferably, the top cover 2 has a through hole in the middle and several air inlets are opened at the bottom of the storage box 1. The air holes are located inside the baffle ring. The airflow generated by the fan 11 can pass through the air holes and rise along the guide action of the baffle ring, and be discharged from the through hole to complete the air circulation. The baffle ring is used to guide the airflow upward and can prevent the airflow blown out by the fan 11 from blowing directly onto the specimen bag between the partition 5 of the first storage group 3 and the second storage group 4. The height of the partition 5 of the first storage group 3 is higher than the height of the partition 5 of the second storage group 4, which can increase the heat dissipation between the first storage group 3 and the second storage group 4.

[0039] It should be noted that the fan 11 is located inside the receiving cavity of the storage box 1. A power supply component is provided at the bottom of the fan 11. The power supply component can be a small motor or other driving device, and is connected to the central shaft of the fan 11 through the output shaft. A power cord is connected to the power supply component. A switch is provided on the outside of the storage box 1. By connecting the power cord to the power device and activating the switch, the power supply component can be powered on and the fan 11 can be started. The electric drive part of this part is no different from the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Example 3 like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a sterilization lamp 21 is provided on the side of the top cover 2 facing the storage box 1.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a support rod 22 is provided on the bottom surface of the top cover 2, and a sterilization lamp 21 is arranged around the support rod 22. A switch for controlling the opening and closing of the sterilization lamp 21 is provided inside the support rod 22.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a boss 12 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the storage box 1, and a sliding cover is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the support rod 22. The diameter of the sliding cover is larger than the diameter of the boss 12.

[0043] Specifically, a sterilization lamp 21 is installed inside the top cover 2. The sterilization lamp 21 can be turned on before and after the storage box 1 is closed or during the storage of specimens to disinfect and sterilize the storage box 1. Preferably, the sterilization lamp 21 is an ultraviolet lamp.

[0044] The switch of the sterilization lamp 21 is located inside the support rod 22. When the top cover 2 is fastened onto the storage box 1, the support rod 22 gradually falls down, and the boss 12 touches the sliding cover. A sliding groove is provided inside the support rod 22, and the sliding table is slidably connected to the sliding groove through a slider. After the sliding cover is pushed upward by the boss 12, it moves upward and touches the switch of the sterilization lamp 21, so that the sterilization lamp 21 is powered on and turned on.

[0045] It should be noted that the top cover 2 is also equipped with an independent power supply and power cord, which can be connected to the power equipment. By sliding the cover to touch the switch inside the support rod 22, the sterilization lamp 21 is powered on. Preferably, the switch of the sterilization lamp 21 inside the support rod 22 is the same as the door control switch of the refrigerator in the prior art. When the sliding cover falls, the switch of the sterilization lamp 21 pops out and the sterilization lamp 21 is powered off. When the sliding cover moves up, the switch of the sterilization lamp 21 moves upward and turns on the sterilization lamp 21.

[0046] The design of the top cover 2 and the sterilization lamp 21 allows the sterilization lamp 21 to be turned on after being fastened to the storage box 1, saving power. In addition, when the specimen is taken out or stored, the sliding cover inside the support rod 22 moves away from the boss 12, and the sliding cover is not pushed, so the sterilization lamp 21 is turned off, which saves power.

[0047] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
