[Figure 3] 1 is a schematic diagram showing a tube-type container according to an embodiment of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] The present invention will be described below through embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solution of the invention.

[0018] First, the tube-type container according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

[0019] Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a tube-type container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a tube-type container according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a tube-type container according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, in this embodiment, the tube-type container 1 is a tube-type device such as a test tube, a cooling tube, or a centrifuge tube, and is used to contain liquid. A signal is connected to a blockchain network 200, and the tube-type container 1 can prevent a chip on the tube-type container 1 from being damaged by an external impact. The tube-type container 1 is connected to an external computer 100, and can transmit information related to the tube-type container 1 and the liquid contained therein to the external computer 100. The tube-type container 1 includes a tube 10 and a chip set 30.

[0021] In this embodiment, the tube 10 is used to contain a liquid. The tube 10 is made of biodegradable plastic. Biodegradable plastic is plastic made of materials that can be decomposed by microorganisms, such as starch, polylactic acid, and fibrin. Therefore, the tube 10 according to the present invention is decomposed by microorganisms, and therefore has an environmentally friendly effect. However, the material of the tube 10 according to the present invention is not limited to these, and may also be polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), or polycarbonate (PC).

[0022] In this embodiment, the tube 10 includes a tube bottom 11 and a bottom support 12. The tube bottom 11 is the bottom of the tube 10. The bottom support 12 has a ring-shaped structure and is integrally connected to the outer edge of the tube bottom 11. The bottom support 12 allows the tube 10 to stand upright on a flat surface (e.g., a tabletop) and prevents the tube bottom 11 from directly hitting an external object to prevent damage to the tube bottom 11. However, the shape of the bottom support 12 is not limited to a ring-shaped structure and may be other shapes with a closed outer periphery, such as a square frame or a hexagonal frame.

[0023] In this embodiment, the chip set 30 is mounted on one side of the tube bottom 11 facing downwards by an injection molding process, and the bottom support 12 surrounds the chip set 30. In this way, the chip set 30 mounted on the tube bottom 11 is suspended so as not to hit the tabletop surface, and the bottom support 12 surrounding the chip set 30 protects the chip set 30 from being damaged by surrounding foreign objects, ensuring that the chip set 30 is not damaged during use and transportation and extending its shelf life. Furthermore, the injection molding process allows for efficient mass production of the tube-shaped container 1, and the remaining manufacturing materials can be recycled, achieving cost savings.

[0024] In this embodiment, the chipset 30 includes a blockchain traceability 31, a positioning member 32, a temperature detection device 33, an electronic tag 34, a wireless module 35, and a battery 36. The blockchain traceability 31 is a computing chip and is connected to a blockchain network 200. The blockchain traceability 31 records the source and history of the liquid on the blockchain network 200, and records and tracks the distribution history of the tubular container 1 by utilizing the blockchain's traceability and the tamper-resistant characteristics of the records. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the source of the liquid is, for example, blood or urine collected when a subject undergoes a health checkup. The distribution history includes the location where the health checkup was conducted, the medical institution where the health checkup was conducted, the storage and transportation history of the tubular container 1, etc. Furthermore, the distribution history information of the tubular container 1 is input and recorded into the blockchain traceability 31 by the external computer 100, and then the blockchain traceability 31 records the distribution history of the tubular container 1 on the blockchain network 200. In this way, the traceability of the blockchain and the fact that records are difficult to tamper with make it possible to clearly record and manage the source and distribution history of the liquid in the tube-shaped container 1.

[0025] The positioning member 32 is a GPS (Global Positioning System) chip used to position the tube-type container 1 so as to determine its current location. The temperature detection device 33 is a chip with a temperature sensing function used to detect the temperature of the tube-type container 1, thereby monitoring whether the tube-type container 1 is at an appropriate temperature to prevent the liquid from deteriorating due to an overheated environment. The electronic tag 34 records information about the tube-type container 1 using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), such as the capacity of the tube-type container 1, the expiration date of the tube 10, the ID of the test subject corresponding to the liquid in the tube-type container 1, the test date and time, and the test location. The information recorded in the electronic tag 34 is input by an external computer 100. However, the information about the tube-type container 1 is not limited to the above and can be modified according to design needs.

[0026] In this embodiment, the wireless module 35 is, for example, a network chip, and is connected to an external computer 100 via a signal. The wireless module 35 is used to transmit information detected by the chipset 30 to the external computer 100, and medical personnel can understand data about the liquid contained in the tube-shaped container 1, such as the source, history, and properties of the liquid, by operating the external computer 100. The battery 36 is used to supply power to the chipset 30 so that the chipset 30 can operate normally after obtaining power.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, in actual use (for example, for a health checkup), the tube-type container 1 of the present invention can contain a liquid that requires testing (for example, a subject's blood), and the liquid blood extracted from the subject flows into the tube 10.

[0028] In addition, the positioning member 32 positions the tube-type container 1 to determine the current position of the tube-type container 1 and prevents the tube-type container 1 from being lost. The temperature detection device 33 is a chip with a temperature sensing function, and can monitor whether the tube-type container 1 is at an appropriate temperature by detecting the temperature of the tube-type container 1 to prevent an overheated environment from affecting the quality of the liquid.

[0029] Furthermore, a medical professional can operate the external computer 100 to connect to the wireless module 35 of the tube-type container 1, and input information about the tube-type container 1 into the electronic tag 34, such as the capacity of the tube-type container 1, the expiration date of the tube 10, the ID of the test subject to which the liquid in the tube-type container 1 corresponds, the test date and time, and the test location. In this way, the medical professional can then read the data recorded on the electronic tag 34 with an RFID reader and quickly understand the information related to the tube-type container 1 and the liquid.

[0030] Furthermore, when a medical professional operates the external computer 100 to input the distribution history information of the item into the blockchain traceability 31, the blockchain traceability 31 records the distribution history information of the item in the blockchain network 200. The blockchain's function for tracking the distribution history of the item records the ID of the subject corresponding to the tube-type container 1, the location where the health check was conducted, the medical institution where the health check was conducted, the storage and transportation process of the tube-type container 1, and so on, all in the blockchain network 200. In this way, due to the blockchain's traceability and the fact that records are difficult to tamper with, the source of the liquid in the tube-type container 1 and the distribution history of the liquid can be clearly recorded and managed. Therefore, medical professionals can quickly trace the ID of the subject and the source of the liquid using the blockchain's function for tracking the distribution history of the item.

[0031] Furthermore, during storage and transportation of the tube-type container 1, the chip set 30 installed at the bottom 11 of the tube is suspended so as not to hit the tabletop surface, and the bottom support 12 around the chip set 30 protects the chip set 30 from being damaged by hitting surrounding foreign objects. This ensures that the chip set 30 is not damaged by foreign objects (e.g., walls, tabletops, test tube racks) during storage and transportation of the tube-type container 1, and also extends its shelf life.

[0032] The design of the tube-shaped container 1 according to the present invention allows the tube-shaped container 1 to have multiple versatile and convenient functions, such as tracking the source and history of the liquid, positioning the tube-shaped container 1 to determine its current location, detecting the temperature of the tube-shaped container 1 to monitor whether it is at the appropriate temperature, and recording data using RFID technology to allow medical personnel to quickly read the data. The tube of the tube-shaped container 1 is made of biodegradable plastic, which is decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment, thus providing environmental protection. The chip set can be suspended, and the bottom support around the chip set protects the chip set from damage caused by surrounding foreign objects. This prevents the chip set from being damaged by foreign objects during storage and transportation of the tube-shaped container and extends its shelf life.

[0033] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design modifications and the like are also included within the scope of the present invention without departing from the gist of the present invention.
