Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an intelligent weight sorting instrument. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical blood processing, after blood collection, centrifugation is required to accurately separate plasma and serum. After centrifugation, the accurate weighing of blood bags and the corresponding recording of this information are crucial for ensuring the standardization and traceability of the entire blood processing process. This directly relates to key aspects such as quality control of blood components, clinical suitability, and traceability of medical liability. Whether it's the large-scale processing by blood product manufacturers or the clinical blood management of medical institutions, the accuracy of blood bag weight data and the completeness of the records are indispensable fundamental elements.

[0003] Currently, the industry still relies primarily on manual operation for the weight sorting and information recording of centrifuged blood bags. Workers must first place each centrifuged blood bag on a regular electronic scale for weighing. After the weight data is stabilized, they manually record the weight value of the blood bag in a paper log or spreadsheet. Based on preset weight standards, they then manually classify the blood bags into the corresponding weight ranges, completing the sorting process. Throughout the entire process, from reading the weighing data to classifying and labeling the bags and entering the information, manual intervention is required without any automated or collaborative mechanisms.

[0004] However, this traditional operating method has significant shortcomings: on the one hand, it is inefficient. The steps of weighing, manual sorting and labeling, and manual data entry are independent and cumbersome. Staff need to frequently switch between electronic scales, blood bag storage areas, and recording media. The processing time for a single bag is long. When faced with the daily demand for processing hundreds or even thousands of blood bags, process congestion is likely to occur, making it difficult to meet the efficiency requirements of modern blood processing scenarios. On the other hand, the risk of error is high. When manually reading weight values, visual fatigue may lead to reading errors. When manually sorting, confusion in weight range memory may lead to classification errors. In the data entry stage, typos or lack of concentration may cause confusion in the correspondence between weight and blood bag. These errors not only affect the subsequent sorting, storage, and use of blood components, but also lead to the break in the blood quality traceability chain, posing a potential threat to medical safety.

[0025] Example 1: This utility model proposes an intelligent weight sorting instrument.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, an intelligent weight sorting instrument includes a weighing module 1 and a barcode scanning module 2. The weighing module 1 is used to weigh the blood bag after centrifugation and output the weight data. The weighing module 1 is equipped with a control unit for receiving the weight data and determining the weight range to which the blood bag belongs. The barcode scanning module 2 is communicatively connected to the control unit and is used to scan the barcode information of the blood bag and transmit the barcode information to the control unit.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in practical use, when centrifuged blood bags need to be sorted by weight, the operator only needs to place the blood bags in the weighing area of ​​the weighing module 1. The weighing module 1 can automatically weigh the blood bags after tareing and output the collected weight data to the internal control unit in real time. Compared with the existing technology of manually weighing and reading values ​​using ordinary electronic scales, the automatic weighing of blood bags by the weighing module 1 and the transmission of weight data to the control unit can avoid the deviation caused by visual fatigue in manual reading, thereby reducing the occurrence of errors in the weighing process. At the same time, it eliminates the step of manually recording weight data, saving time and labor, and improving the weighing and sorting efficiency of single bags.

[0028] Furthermore, after receiving the weight data transmitted by the weighing module 1, the control unit will automatically determine the weight category of the blood bag according to the preset weight range standard. This eliminates the need for manual memorization of weight ranges and manual classification of blood bags, avoiding classification errors caused by manual memorization and ensuring the accuracy of blood bag classification results. At the same time, it significantly shortens the classification judgment time, making it particularly suitable for large-volume blood bag processing scenarios.

[0029] Understandably, after the blood bags are sorted by weight, staff scan the barcode information on the blood bags, such as QR codes or barcodes, using a barcode scanning module 2 connected to the control unit. This barcode information includes key details such as the patient's basic information and the blood collection time. The scanning module 2 instantly transmits the scanned barcode information to the control unit, automatically linking the weight data with the barcode information. This replaces the manual linking of weight and blood bag information in existing technologies, avoiding errors caused by clerical mistakes or lack of concentration, and ensuring the integrity of the blood quality traceability chain.

[0030] In one embodiment, a bracket 3 is also included. The weighing module 1 has a placement slot 4 for accommodating the bracket 3. The bracket 3 is movably installed within the placement slot 4, and a barcode scanning module 2 is detachably mounted on the bracket 3. Specifically, as shown... Figures 2 to 4As shown, when the barcode scanning module 2 is not needed, the staff can store the bracket 3 in the placement slot 4, effectively preventing the bracket 3 from being exposed and occupying the surrounding space of the weighing module 1, making the work surface cleaner. Simultaneously, the bracket 3 adopts a limited-position movable installation method, specifically a sliding snap-fit ​​or bolt connection, allowing the staff to pull the bracket 3 out of the placement slot 4 when weighing and sorting blood bags. They can then adjust the extension length of the bracket 3 according to their operating habits or the placement position of the blood bags before installing the barcode scanning module 2 on the bracket 3. This eliminates the need for the staff to continuously hold the barcode scanning module 2 to scan the blood bags, reducing hand strain and making it more convenient to use. Furthermore, since the barcode scanning module 2 and the bracket 3 are detachably connected (using a threaded connection), when the barcode scanning module 2 malfunctions and needs repair or replacement, the staff only needs to remove it from the bracket 3, without disassembling the entire bracket 3, improving the maintenance convenience of the barcode scanning module 2.

[0031] In one embodiment, the bracket 3 includes a fixed part 5, a movable part 6, and a clamp 7. The fixed part 5 is detachably installed in the placement groove 4, and the movable part 6 is rotatably and limitedly installed on the fixed part 5. The clamp 7 is provided at the end of the movable part 6 away from the fixed part 5, and the clamp 7 is used to hold the barcode scanning module 2. Specifically, as shown... Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the fixed part 5 can be detachably installed in the placement groove 4 using threaded connection or sliding snap-fit, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the bracket 3 and is convenient for maintenance. Furthermore, since the movable part 6 is rotatably limited and installed on the fixed part 5, the movable part 6 can be installed on the fixed part 5 using a pin hinge with damping or threaded locking components to achieve anti-loosening limitation. This allows the operator to adjust the rotation angle of the movable part 6 according to the actual placement position of the blood bag on the weighing module 1 or their own operating posture, ensuring that the scanning port of the barcode scanning module 2 is always accurately aligned with the code on the blood bag, avoiding scanning failures or repeated scanning due to inaccurate angles, and ensuring the accuracy of the scanning position and scanning efficiency. Understandably, by setting a clip 7 at the end of the movable part 6 away from the fixed part 5, the barcode scanning module 2 can be securely installed on the bracket 3, effectively preventing the barcode scanning module 2 from slipping or shifting during scanning, ensuring the stability of the scanning operation.

[0032] In one embodiment, the groove wall of the placement groove 4 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 8 evenly and at intervals along its extension direction, and the fixing part 5 is provided with a locking member that can be inserted and engaged with any of the limiting holes 8. Specifically, as shown in the figure Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the insertion and engagement of the locking component with the limiting hole 8 effectively prevents the fixed part 5 from causing the movable part 6 and the barcode scanning module 2 to rotate circumferentially within the placement groove 4, thus significantly improving the installation stability of the barcode scanning module 2. Furthermore, the locking component can be an existing elastic locking pin, i.e., an assembly of a spring and a pin. When the operator pushes or pulls the bracket 3, the spring is compressed under the action of the pin, and the pin can also extend into the limiting hole 8 under the elastic restoring force of the spring. This allows the locking component to be inserted and engaged with any of the limiting holes 8, enabling the operator to adjust the installation position of the fixed part 5 within the placement groove 4 without the need for additional auxiliary tools. This allows the bracket 3 to stably extend or retract within the placement groove 4, making the operation simple, convenient, and efficient.

[0033] In one embodiment, a groove 9 for placing a barcode scanning module 2 is provided on the side wall of the weighing module 1, and a cover plate 10 is detachably installed at the opening of the groove 9. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the staff does not need to use the barcode scanning module 2, it can be directly placed into the groove 9. This ensures both the performance and lifespan of the barcode scanning module 2 and maintains a clean and orderly operating environment around the weighing module 1. Simultaneously, the cover plate 10 at the opening of the groove 9 completely encloses the barcode scanning module 2 within the groove 9, effectively preventing damage from external dust, liquid splashes, or accidental collisions, thus providing protection. Furthermore, when the barcode scanning module 2 needs to be used, the staff only needs to manually open or remove the cover plate 10 to quickly retrieve it from the groove 9, eliminating the need to search for it elsewhere, making the operation convenient.

[0034] In one embodiment, a panel 11 is provided on the side wall of the weighing module 1. The panel 11 has several interfaces for the control unit, which are used for electrical connection with the barcode scanning module 2 or external devices. The panel 11 also has a baffle 12 for covering the interfaces. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, several interfaces on panel 11 can be configured as different types according to actual needs, such as a USB interface; the USB interface can be used to establish a stable wired connection with the barcode scanning module 2; an RS232 serial port can be used to connect to the hospital's blood management computer to realize real-time synchronous storage of weight data and barcode information, replacing the step of manual data entry; a power interface can be used to power the barcode scanning module 2, etc. These interfaces are directly connected to the control unit to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of data transmission after connection. Furthermore, the baffle 12 on panel 11 can be sliding or flip-type, such as sliding open and closing along the edge of panel 11, or flipping around a pivot on one side. When not in use, the intelligent weight sorting instrument of this invention can completely cover all interfaces by closing the baffle 12, thereby preventing dust, disinfectant or foreign objects from entering the interface and protecting the electrical performance and physical structure of the interface.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the weighing module 1 includes a weighing sensor, a display unit, and a storage module. The weighing sensor is used to collect weight signals and convert them into electrical signals for transmission to the control unit. The display unit is used to display the weight of the blood bag and its weight range. The storage module is communicatively connected to the control unit and is used to store the weight data of the blood bag and the corresponding label information.

[0036] Understandably, when a blood bag is placed in the weighing area of ​​weighing module 1, the weighing sensor can capture the weight change of the blood bag through its internal pressure sensing element. This physical weight signal is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the control unit in real time. Compared with traditional manual weighing on an ordinary electronic scale, the weighing sensor has higher sensing accuracy, and preferably uses a high-precision weighing sensor available in current technology. This ensures the accuracy of weight data from the weighing stage. Furthermore, the display unit can be a high-definition LCD screen on the surface of weighing module 1. When the control unit receives the electrical signal from the weighing sensor, processes it to obtain the specific weight value, and determines the weight range, it immediately sends this information to the display unit. This allows staff to clearly and intuitively see information such as the blood bag weight and its weight range, making it convenient to use. Understandably, once the control unit completes the association between the weight data and the labeling information, it can synchronously store the corresponding associated data, such as "weight 350g, patient A, blood collection time, etc.", in the storage module. Compared with traditional paper ledgers or easily lost electronic spreadsheets, the storage module can avoid the risk of typos or omissions. Furthermore, when it is necessary to trace blood bag information later, the control unit can retrieve the data in the storage module for quick querying without having to search through a large number of paper records, thus greatly improving traceability efficiency.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
