Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of nursing tool technology, specifically relating to a blood collection tube storage and retrieval device. Background Technology

[0002] The original packaging for transporting blood collection tubes consisted of foam boards and plastic wrapping, which was inconvenient to use. Currently, most hospitals do not have dedicated containers for storing blood collection tubes, and for ease of access, they may place similar types of tubes together in drawers, baskets, or other containers. Horizontally storing blood collection tubes causes the anticoagulants and stabilizers added to the vacuum-sealed tubes to flow towards the tube cap under gravity, resulting in insufficient binding of blood and reagents and affecting test results. Furthermore, storing a large number of blood collection tubes scattered in containers, or mixing tubes with different production dates, may lead to the tubes expiring. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a blood collection tube storage and retrieval device to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0005] A blood collection tube storage and retrieval device is provided, comprising a generally rectangular box body. The box body contains multiple interconnected, smooth-walled, inclined sliding channels. The sliding direction of each inclined channel forms a first fixed angle greater than 0° and less than 30° with the horizontal plane. The longitudinal section of each inclined channel is an oblique strip shape, and the width of the longitudinal section is appropriate to the outer diameter of the blood collection tube. The longitudinal section of each inclined channel forms a second fixed angle greater than 45° and less than 90° with the horizontal plane. The inlet and outlet of each inclined channel are located at the upper and lower parts of the box body, respectively. An externally retractable inner baffle is provided at the outlet.

[0006] As described in the blood collection tube storage and retrieval device, the second fixed angle is 60°±2°.

[0007] The blood collection tube storage and retrieval device described herein includes five inclined moving channels.

[0008] As described in the blood collection tube storage and retrieval device, each circumferential side and top surface of the box is detachably connected to a light-shielding plate via magnetic connectors.

[0009] As described in the blood collection tube storage and retrieval device, a temperature sensor and a semiconductor cooling plate are provided on the side wall of the inclined moving channel near the wall surface.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model's technical solution are:

[0011] 1. Ensure the blood collection tube is nearly upright to prevent reagent residue from remaining in the tube cap.

[0012] 2. The gentle slope rolling design allows for top-in and bottom-out, and a baffle at the bottom ensures timely replacement of blood collection tubes.

[0013] 3. Convenient to use, reducing the workload of nurses. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The terms “utility model” and “this utility model” used in this specification are intended to broadly refer to all subject matter of this specification and any of the following patent claims. Statements containing these terms should not be construed as limiting the subject matter described herein or limiting the meaning or scope of any of the following patent claims. Furthermore, this specification does not attempt to describe or limit the subject matter covered by any claim of any particular component, paragraph, statement, or drawing of this application. The subject matter should be understood with reference to the entire specification, all drawings, and any of the following claims. This utility model may have other embodiments and be practiced or implemented in other ways. Moreover, it should be understood that the wording and terminology used herein are for illustrative purposes and should not be considered limiting.

[0019] The details of the present invention will now be discussed with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are illustrated by way of example only. In the drawings, similar features or components may be labeled with the same reference numerals.

[0020] The use of the terms "comprising," "having," and "including," and variations thereof, herein means to include the items listed herein, their equivalents, and additional items. While reference may be made in the description of the drawings to directions such as above, below, upward, downward, backward, bottom, top, front, rear, etc., for convenience, reference is made relative to the drawings. These directions are not intended to literally accept or limit the invention in any form. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," "third," etc., are used herein for illustrative purposes and are not intended to indicate or imply importance or significance.

[0021] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the blood collection tube storage and retrieval device of this utility model includes a generally rectangular box 1. Inside the box 1 are multiple interconnected, smooth-walled, inclined sliding channels 2. The moving direction of the inclined sliding channels 2 forms a first fixed angle α with the horizontal plane greater than 0° and less than 30°. The angle is designed to be relatively gentle, preventing large-scale rolling or collisions with the test tubes, thus avoiding problems such as uneven mixing of additives or failure of the preset vacuum caused by collisions or severe vibrations. The longitudinal section of the inclined sliding channels 2 is an inclined strip, and the width of the longitudinal section of the inclined sliding channels 2 is suitable for the outer diameter of the blood collection tube.

[0022] The longitudinal section of the inclined moving channel 2 forms a second fixed angle β with the horizontal plane that is greater than 45° and less than 90°. The second fixed angle β is preferably 60°±2°. This angle keeps the blood collection tube in a nearly upright position, which can prevent reagent residue in the tube from remaining in the tube cap. The additive can completely cover the bottom of the tube, and no liquid comes into contact with the tube cap. This angle is suitable for most blood collection tubes in clinical practice (such as serum tubes, EDTA tubes, coagulation tubes, etc.).

[0023] The inlet 3 and outlet 4 of the inclined moving channel 2 are located at the upper and lower parts of the box body 1, respectively. The inlet 3 is preferably located on the top surface of the box body 1, and the inlet and outlet angles are the same.

[0024] This device uses an angled sliding mechanism to collect blood collection tubes, following the principle of top-in, bottom-out. At the outlet 4, there are externally pull-out inner baffles 5, located on the bottom layer. These baffles can be pulled outwards to distinguish different batches of blood collection tubes, ensuring timely replacement. In other words, while acting as a barrier, they more accurately separate different batches of test tubes. Labels can be affixed to the front and back of the baffles to record the time of different batches. Test tubes nearing their expiration date are placed at the outlet of the device, while those with longer expiration dates are placed at the inlet, preventing blood collection tube failure due to improper placement.

[0025] Preferably, there are 5 inclined moving channels 2, which, as shown in the figure, form a 5-layer pattern. The test tubes descend slowly from top to bottom along the moving channels. Figure 1 The arrow in the image indicates the direction in which the blood collection tube moves.

[0026] This design can be adjusted according to different storage conditions of blood collection tubes. For example, when storing photosensitive test tubes, light shields are detachably connected to each circumferential side and top surface of the box 1 via magnetic connectors. The magnetic connectors are preferably neodymium iron boron magnetic blocks. When storing test tubes that require specific temperatures (such as blood glucose tubes (sodium fluoride + EDTA.K2)), a temperature sensor and a semiconductor cooling plate are provided near the wall surface on the side wall of the inclined moving channel 2. The arrangement and working principle of the temperature sensor and the semiconductor cooling plate are both existing technologies.

[0027] The entire box 1 must be made of materials that can withstand wiping with effective chlorine and alcohol, and must comply with disinfection standards.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
