Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of antibody storage technology, specifically to a shockproof antibody sample test tube. Background Technology
[0002] Antibodies are immunoglobulins, essential substances for the human body. They are proteins produced through antigen stimulation and specifically designed to eliminate viruses. When studying antibody performance, scientists place antibodies in antibody sample storage devices using test tubes. However, accidental impacts during storage can damage the test tubes, leading to the loss of the antibody sample inside. While existing shock-resistant test tubes are mostly protected by rigid materials, the force is still transmitted through these materials during impacts, making them relatively ineffective. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, where the force is transmitted to the test tube through the hard material during a collision, resulting in relatively low effectiveness.
[0004] A shockproof antibody sample test tube is proposed, comprising a test tube, a housing, a clamping device, an inflation device, a sensing component, and a protective device. Multiple sets of test tubes are arranged inside the housing. Each test tube is equipped with a corresponding clamping device, and each clamping device is connected to the housing. The inflation device is located inside the housing below the test tube and is connected to the clamping device. The sensing component is located on one side of the inflation device and is connected to the protective device. The protective device is located on the outside of the housing and connected to a pre-set groove on the outer wall of the housing.
[0005] In this invention, the test tube is inserted into the foam material, preferably EVA foam. Therefore, upon impact, the foam material absorbs vibration. After the test tube is inserted into the foam material, the clamping and lifting airbags restrict its position, preventing direct contact between the test tube and the foam material. Simultaneously, a protective device is installed on the outside of the box. When the box suddenly falls, the protective airbag immediately inflates, wrapping around the box from the outside. The deformation of the airbag absorbs the vibration, thus addressing the drawback mentioned in the background where force is transmitted to the test tube through hard materials during a collision, resulting in relatively low effectiveness.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the box body is provided with a lid on the top, and the lid is provided with a hinge and a duckbill buckle on both sides, and a handle is provided in the center of the lid, so that the box body can be lifted by the handle on the lid when needed.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the interior of the box is provided with rigid foam material, and the foam material has grooves at the position of each test tube. The test tubes are vertically arranged in the grooves, and the clamping device is arranged in the pre-set grooves of the foam material. The foam material used is preferably EVA foam material. The foam material is in contact with the box, so when an impact occurs, the foam material can absorb and dissipate energy through its own physical structure and material properties.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamping device includes clamping plates, clamping airbags, and lifting airbags. Four clamping plates, all made of plastic, are evenly distributed around the axis of the test tube. Four clamping airbags are respectively positioned between two adjacent clamping plates. The lifting airbag is positioned below the test tube and is connected to the clamping airbags and the inflation device. After the test tube is vertically inserted into the groove, the outer wall of the test tube will cause the clamping plates to elastically deform. The clamping plates can then clamp the outer wall of the test tube through their elastic deformation, thereby initially restricting the position of the test tube.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inflation device includes an air pump, an air outlet pipe, an air inlet pipe, and an electric ball valve. The air pump is connected to the bottom plate inside the housing and is positioned below the foam material. The air outlet of the air pump is connected to the supporting airbag via the air outlet pipe. The air inlet pipe is located at the air inlet of the air pump, with the other end of the air inlet pipe positioned on the outside of the housing. The electric ball valve is located at the air outlet of the air pump and is connected to the air outlet pipe. The air pump inflates the clamping airbag and the supporting airbag with air through the air outlet pipe, and then the electric ball valve can be closed to prevent air leakage from the clamping airbag and the supporting airbag.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the air pump is a dual-purpose suction and suction air pump, which can inflate the clamping airbag and the lifting airbag when needed, and can also extract the air from the clamping airbag and the lifting airbag.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sensing component includes an accelerometer, a microcontroller, an electronic switch, and a battery. The accelerometer is located inside the housing and connected to the center of the housing. The microcontroller is located on one side of the accelerometer and connected to the electronic switch. The battery is located on one side of the accelerometer, and the electronic switch is located above the battery and connected to the protective device. When the housing falls, the acceleration will approach zero (weightlessness). After detecting this, the accelerometer will send a signal to the microcontroller, which will then activate the electronic switch.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall of the housing is provided with multiple placement slots, and the protective device is connected in the placement slots. When the protective device is not triggered, the protective airbag will be stored inside the placement slot, thereby avoiding obstruction to the user.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the protective device includes a protective airbag, a cover, a gas generator, an air guide cylinder, a one-way valve, and an air guide pipe. Multiple sets of protective airbags are respectively disposed in placement slots. Each placement slot has an opening with a cover. The air guide cylinder is vertically disposed inside the housing and connected to the protective airbag via an air guide pipe. The gas generator is connected inside the air guide cylinder. The one-way valve is disposed on one side of the air guide cylinder and connected to the air guide pipe. The cover has a tear line. After the protective airbag is inflated by air, under the high-pressure impact of the inflated airbag, the cover can tear along the pre-designed tear line, thereby ensuring that the protective airbag can be ejected from the placement slot.
[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are: In this invention, the test tube is placed vertically in a pre-set groove in the foam material. Therefore, when the outer box is bumped, the foam material can absorb and dissipate energy through its own physical structure and material properties. The test tube is also protected by the clamping and lifting airbags, thus preventing it from being damaged by the collision. The outer box is also equipped with a protective airbag. When the box suddenly falls, the protective airbag will immediately pop out to wrap around the box and reduce the impact force when the box lands. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-17 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.
[0017] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a shockproof antibody sample test tube includes a test tube 1, a box 2, a clamping device 3, an inflation device 4, a sensing component 5, and a protective device 6. The box 2 is provided with a box cover 21 on the top, and the box cover 21 is provided with two hinges 22 and two duckbill buckles 23 on both sides.
[0018] like Figure 1-4As shown, the lid 21 is hinged to the box body 2 via hinge 22. A handle 24 is provided at the center of the lid 21, and both ends of the handle 24 are hinged to the lid 21. Therefore, the box body 2 can be lifted by the handle 24 on the lid 21 when needed. After the duckbill buckle 23 is opened, the lid 21 can be rotated upwards and opened by hinge 22 to expose the test tube 1 inside the box body 2.
[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the interior of the box 2 is provided with rigid foam material 7. The foam material 7 is preferably EVA foam material. The foam material 7 is in contact with the box 2, so when an impact occurs, the foam material 7 can absorb and dissipate energy through its own physical structure and material properties.
[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the foam material 7 has a circular groove at the position of each test tube 1. There are multiple sets of test tubes 1, all of which are vertically arranged in the grooves. The test tubes 1 used are existing products. Each circular groove has a set of clamping devices 3 for restricting the position of the test tube 1.
[0021] like Figure 5-11 As shown, the clamping device 3 includes a clamping plate 31, a clamping airbag 32, and a lifting airbag 33. There are four clamping plates 31, all of which are made of plastic with elastic deformation capability. The four clamping plates 31 are evenly distributed circumferentially with the axis of the test tube 1 as the center.
[0022] like Figure 5-11 As shown, one end of the four clamping plates 31 is attached to the foam material 7, and the other end of the four clamping plates 31 is in contact with the outer wall of the test tube 1. After the test tube 1 is vertically inserted into the groove, the outer wall of the test tube 1 will cause the clamping plates 31 to undergo elastic deformation.
[0023] like Figure 5-11 As shown, the clamping plate 31 can then clamp the outer wall of the test tube 1 through its own elastic deformation ability, thereby initially restricting the position of the test tube 1. There are four clamping airbags 32, which are also evenly distributed circumferentially with the axis of the test tube 1 as the center, and the four clamping airbags 32 are respectively set between two adjacent clamping plates 31.
[0024] like Figure 5-11 As shown, multiple rubber particles are provided on the side of the clamping airbag 32 that contacts the test tube 1, thereby increasing the friction between the clamping airbag 32 and the test tube 1. The lifting airbag 33 is positioned below the test tube 1, and when the lifting airbag 33 inflates, it can lift the test tube 1 upwards.
[0025] like Figure 5-11As shown, the foam material 7 has grooves at the positions of the clamping airbag 32 and the lifting airbag 33. The four clamping airbags 32 and the lifting airbag 33 are set in the airbags preset in the foam material 7. The lifting airbag 33 is connected to the four clamping airbags 32 through a pipe.
[0026] like Figure 5-11 As shown, the lifting airbag 33 is connected to the air pump 41 of the inflation device 4. When the air pump 41 inflates the clamping airbag 32 and the lifting airbag 33, the clamping airbag 32 and the lifting airbag 33 will be expanded by the gas, thereby clamping and lifting the test tube 1, thus avoiding direct contact between the test tube 1 and the foam material 7.
[0027] like Figure 5-11 As shown, when the air pump 41 extracts the air from inside the clamping airbag 32 and the lifting airbag 33, the clamping airbag 32 and the lifting airbag 33 can retract into the preset groove of the foam material 7.
[0028] like Figure 12 As shown, the inflation device 4 includes an air pump 41, an air outlet pipe 42, an air inlet pipe 43, and an electric ball valve 44. The air pump 41 is located inside the housing 2 and connected to the bottom plate of the housing 2, and the air pump 41 is located below the foam material 7.
[0029] like Figure 12 As shown, the air outlet of the air pump 41 is connected to the lifting airbag 33 through the air outlet pipe 42. The electric ball valve 44 is located at the air outlet of the air pump 41 and is connected to the air outlet pipe 42. Therefore, when the electric ball valve 44 is opened...
[0030] like Figure 12 As shown, the air pump 41 can fill the clamping airbag 32 and the lifting airbag 33 with air through the air outlet pipe 42, and then the electric ball valve 44 can be closed to prevent air leakage inside the clamping airbag 32 and the lifting airbag 33.
[0031] like Figure 12 As shown, the air inlet pipe 43 is located at the air inlet pipe 43 of the air pump 41. One end of the air inlet pipe 43 is connected to the air inlet of the air pump 41, and the other end of the air inlet pipe 43 passes through the pre-set through hole of the housing 2 and is located on the outside of the housing 2.
[0032] like Figure 12 As shown, the housing 2 has multiple sets of heat dissipation holes to meet the heat dissipation requirements. The air pump 41 used is a dual-purpose suction and suction air pump 41. Therefore, when needed, air can be injected into the clamping airbag 32 and the lifting airbag 33, and air can also be extracted from the clamping airbag 32 and the lifting airbag 33 by the air pump 41.
[0033] like Figure 13As shown, the sensing component 5 includes an acceleration sensor 51, a microcontroller 52, an electronic switch 53, and a battery 54. The acceleration sensor 51 is located inside the housing 2 and is connected to the center of the bottom plate of the housing 2.
[0034] like Figure 13 As shown, the accelerometer 51 is connected to the microcontroller 52. The microcontroller 52 is located on one side of the accelerometer 51 and connected to the housing 2. The microcontroller 52 is also connected to the electronic switch 53. Therefore, the microcontroller 52 can turn the electronic switch 53 on or off as needed.
[0035] like Figure 13 As shown, the battery 54 is located on one side of the acceleration sensor 51, and the electronic switch 53 is located above the battery 54 and connected to the battery 54 and the gas generator 63 of the protective device 6. When the electronic switch 53 is turned on... like Figure 13 As shown, the circuit between the battery 54 and the gas generator 63 will be connected, and the gas generator 63 will be turned on. When the box 2 suddenly falls, the acceleration sensor 51 will transmit a signal to the microcontroller 52, and then the microcontroller 52 will turn on the electronic switch 53 to connect the circuit between the gas generator 63 and the battery 54.
[0036] like Figure 13 As shown, multiple placement slots 8 are provided on the outer wall of the housing 2. The protective airbag 61 of the protective device 6 is connected in the placement slot 8. When the protective device 6 is not triggered, the protective airbag 61 will be stored inside the placement slot 8, thereby avoiding obstruction to the user.
[0037] like Figure 14-17 As shown, the protective device 6 includes a protective airbag 61, a cover 62, a gas generator 63, an air guide tube 64, a one-way valve 65, and an air guide pipe 66. The protective airbag 61 is placed in the placement slot 8, and a cover 62 is provided at the opening of each placement slot 8.
[0038] like Figure 14-17 As shown, the cover 62 is made of plastic (such as TPO or TPE). The cover 62 is snapped onto the box 2 by a buckle, and the cover 62 has a tear line, so after the protective airbag 61 is inflated by air.
[0039] like Figure 14-17 As shown, under the high-pressure impact of the inflated protective airbag 61, the cover 62 can be torn along the pre-designed tear line, thereby ensuring that the protective airbag 61 can be ejected from the placement slot 8. The air guide tube 64 is vertically set inside the box 2 and glued to the bottom plate of the box 2.
[0040] like Figure 14-17 As shown, the air guide cylinder 64 is provided with an air outlet channel. The gas generator 63 is connected inside the air guide cylinder 64 and is connected to the air guide cylinder 64 by screws. The air guide pipe 66 is set at the air outlet channel of the air guide cylinder 64, and one end of the air guide pipe 66 is glued to the air outlet channel of the air guide cylinder 64.
[0041] like Figure 14-17 As shown, the other end of the air duct 66 is connected to the protective airbag 61. The protective airbags 61 on the outer wall of the box 2 are connected by pipes. Therefore, after the air duct 66 injects air into one protective airbag 61, it can inject gas into the other protective airbags 61 through this protective airbag 61.
[0042] like Figure 14-17 As shown, the one-way valve 65 is located on one side of the air guide cylinder 64 and connected to the air guide pipe 66. Therefore, when the acceleration sensor 51 detects that the box 2 has fallen, the acceleration sensor 51 will send a signal to the microcontroller 52.
[0043] like Figure 14-17 As shown, the microcontroller 52 then turns on the electronic switch 53, connecting the circuit between the gas generator 63 and the battery 54. Subsequently, the gas generator 63 is activated, and after the gas generator 63 is activated, it will explode and produce a large amount of gas.
[0044] like Figure 14-17 As shown, a large amount of gas can enter the interior of the protective airbag 61 through the air duct 66. At this time, the one-way valve 65 inside the air duct 66 will be opened. After the gas enters the interior of the protective airbag 61, the protective airbag 61 will expand and deform and burst open the cover 62. Then the expanded protective airbag 61 will wrap around the box 2.
[0045] like Figure 14-17 As shown, the inflated protective airbag 61 reduces the impact force of the box 2 landing. After the gas enters the interior of the protective airbag 61, the one-way valve 65 will close, thereby preventing air leakage from the interior of the protective airbag 61.
[0046] The movement process in this embodiment is as follows: After the test tube 1 is inserted into the groove of the foam material 7, the clamping plate 31 clamps the outer wall of the test tube 1, thereby initially restricting the position of the test tube 1. Then, the air pump 41 is turned on to fill the lifting airbag 33 and the clamping airbag 32 with gas, thereby inflating the lifting airbag 33 and the clamping airbag 32 to clamp the test tube 1. Subsequently, when an impact occurs, the foam material 7, the lifting airbag 33 and the clamping airbag 32 can absorb and buffer the external impact force by utilizing their own material properties and elastic deformation capabilities.
[0047] When the acceleration sensor 51 detects that the housing 2 has suddenly fallen, it sends a signal to the controller. Then, the microcontroller 52 turns on the electronic switch 53 to connect the circuit between the gas generator 63 and the battery 54. The gas generator 63 is activated and explodes, producing a large amount of gas. The large amount of gas enters the interior of the protective airbag 61 through the air duct 66. At this time, the protective airbag 61 will expand and deform, and burst open the cover 62. Then, the expanded protective airbag 61 will wrap around the housing 2, thereby reducing the impact force when the housing 2 lands.
[0048] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications made to the technical solution based on the technical concept proposed by this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
