Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of specimen transport box technology, and in particular to an infectious disease specimen transport box with multiple seals. Background Technology

[0002] Specimen transport boxes are specialized equipment used for the safe transport of various biological samples. Their design focuses on protecting samples from external environmental influences while facilitating tracking and management. The boxes are typically made of robust and low-temperature resistant materials, capable of handling varying transport requirements from room temperature to ultra-low temperatures, ensuring that samples such as blood and tissues are not damaged during transport due to temperature changes or impacts.

[0003] Infectious disease specimen transport boxes are specialized devices upgraded from ordinary specimen transport boxes to meet the transportation needs of high-risk pathogens. They not only possess standard insulation and sealing functions, but also incorporate multiple protective measures, such as a more robust composite material casing and a negative pressure sealing design, ensuring that even if the internal container breaks, pathogens will not leak to the outside.

[0004] Patent document CN221915215U discloses a blood specimen transport box, including a box body and a lid. An indicator light is installed on the box body, and several placement slots for culture bottles are provided at the bottom of the box body. Each placement slot is equipped with a limit switch, and both the limit switches and the indicator lights are electrically connected to a controller. The beneficial effect of this invention is that by installing a limit switch in each placement slot, when a culture bottle is placed in the slot, the culture bottle moves downwards due to gravity, squeezing the trigger of the limit switch. When the limit switch is triggered, the controller drives the indicator light to display a specified color, reminding medical staff that there are still culture bottles in the transport box. This effectively reduces the possibility of human error leading to blood specimens being missed in the transport box, delayed delivery, or specimen invalidation.

[0005] As in the prior art of the aforementioned patent, the test tubes containing the samples are placed directly inside the placement slot in the specimen box, which only provides a single layer of protection and is prone to leakage. Secondly, the interior of the specimen box generally has an insulation effect. In order to ensure that the samples are kept at a low temperature and prevent loss of biological activity, the specimen box contains multiple sample tubes. When it is necessary to take out some of the sample tubes, the entire lid on top of the box needs to be opened. This process will raise the temperature inside the box and may also cause leakage to the remaining test tubes. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an infectious disease specimen transport box with multiple seals to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a multi-sealed infectious disease specimen transport box, comprising a box body, a box lid at the top of the box body, the box lid and the box body being rotatably connected by a hinge, a handle at the top of the box lid, and a locking mechanism between the box lid and the box body, the interior of the box body being provided with thermal insulation foam, the interior of the thermal insulation foam having two placement slots, each of the two placement slots containing a unit box, the interior of the unit box being provided with a thermal insulation foam filling layer, the thermal insulation foam filling layer having slots, the slots containing medical test tubes, a sealing cap on the unit box, and an outer cap on the box lid.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: a thickened part is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box cover, and two mounting slots are opened on both the thickened part and the box cover, and the two mounting slots are located directly above the two unit boxes.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the mounting groove is threadedly connected to the outer cover, and a protrusion is fixedly installed on the top of the outer cover.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the unit box and the sealing cover are threaded together, the top of the sealing cover has two grooves, two limiting members are fixedly installed on the unit box, the inner wall of the placement groove has two limiting grooves, and the two limiting members are slidably connected to the limiting grooves.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: two refrigerant chambers are provided on the thermal insulation foam component, and a cover plate is inserted into the refrigerant chamber. Multiple through slots are provided between the two refrigerant chambers and the two placement slots.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: a sealing ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer cover, and the sealing ring is located at the joint between the outer cover and the mounting groove.

[0013] This invention provides a multi-layered sealing infectious disease specimen transport box. It offers the following advantages: The specimen to be transported is placed inside a medical test tube, which seals the sample—this is the first layer of sealing. The test tube is then placed inside a unit box, and the sealing cap at the top of the unit box is tightened—this is the second layer of sealing. After tightening the lid, the outer cover on the lid is sealed—this is the third layer of sealing. When the test tube needs to be removed, there is no need to open the lid; simply open the outer cover corresponding to the test tube, unscrew the sealing cap on top of the unit box containing the test tube, and the corresponding test tube can be removed. This increases the box's insulation performance, reduces the risk of sample leakage, and the three-layer sealing structure enhances the sample's sealing effect.
