Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a vibration-free transport cart for pharmaceuticals that enables the preservation of quality of the distributed pharmaceuticals and the like, and allows for stable transport and delivery without damage caused by vibration, in a system for distributing pharmaceuticals while maintaining them at a constant low temperature. Background Technology

[0002] In the cold chain system, a distribution system that maintains a constant low temperature to preserve the quality or prevent the deterioration of the efficacy of pharmaceuticals, separate transport containers are used to carry and transport the pharmaceuticals in a refrigerated state.

[0003] Various types of such transport containers for pharmaceuticals have been developed and used to date. Generally, they are sealed boxes in which the perimeter walls and floor are formed by overlapping at least one insulating material to create a space that maintains the refrigerated temperature of the pharmaceutical, and the top surface is designed to be opened and closed as a loading plate.

[0004] In addition, in the transport containers for pharmaceuticals such as high-risk pathogen vaccines that ensure quality maintenance and safety, the weight and volume of the transport containers are gradually increasing as they are relatively sensitive to temperature changes and require maintaining a lower temperature, with cooling devices such as cooling packs on the loading plate and cooling modules on the perimeter walls being added.

[0005] Recently, as the weight and volume of pharmaceutical transport containers have increased, carrying them directly requires a significant amount of manual labor and reduces work efficiency, so they are being transported using separate handcarts.

[0006] However, since the transportation of pharmaceutical containers using such handcarts is limited to relatively short distances—specifically within workplaces or sites—there is a problem where pharmaceuticals sensitive to transport shock, such as liquid medications which are primarily contained in glass bottles, are easily damaged by external shocks caused by vibrations during transport.

[0007] Therefore, in recent years, there has been a demand for transport carts for transport containers that can not only ensure stable low-temperature storage of pharmaceuticals but also safely transport them over short distances without damaging them. Prior art literature

[0009] The present invention provides a vibration-free pharmaceutical transport cart that protects against vibration or shock during the transport of pharmaceuticals to prevent quality degradation due to damage, as well as enables convenient loading and unloading of large and heavy pharmaceutical transport containers onto the transport cart, and secures the transport containers loaded on the cart so that they do not shake, thereby ensuring stable transport. means of solving the problem

[0010] The present invention provides a vibration-free transport cart for pharmaceuticals that enables the preservation of quality of the distributed pharmaceuticals and the stable transport and delivery of such pharmaceuticals without damage caused by vibration, within a system for distributing pharmaceuticals while maintaining them at a constant low temperature.

[0011] As a vibration-free transport cart for pharmaceuticals that transports and delivers them in a refrigerated state using transport containers in a cold chain system that maintains a constant low temperature to prevent the preservation of quality or deterioration of efficacy of pharmaceuticals, it comprises a chassis equipped with power supply control devices for cooling operation of the transport containers, a rectangular loading plate formed in a cap shape that covers the upper part of the chassis and also serves as the loading floor for the transport containers, an absorbing member interposed between the upper and lower parts of the loading plate to dissipate shocks or vibrations transmitted from the outside, and a rectangular frame made using aluminum profiles, with one side of the upper part of the loading plate open and guide blocks provided on three sides, allowing an auxiliary chassis loaded with transport containers to slide in and out through the open part to be connected or disconnected, thereby protecting the pharmaceuticals from external shocks or vibrations, as well as facilitating the loading and unloading of transport containers and ensuring stable transport. Effects of the invention

[0012] According to the vibration-free pharmaceutical transport cart of the present invention, by using an auxiliary chassis to allow transport containers to move up and down on the loading plate of the cart, the loading and unloading efficiency of relatively heavy pharmaceutical transport containers is improved.

[0013] In addition, the present invention provides guide blocks on the loading plate of the chassis so that the attachment or detachment of the auxiliary chassis to the chassis is performed stably without shaking, and the auxiliary chassis is stably fixed on the chassis through a detachable structure and a locking structure, thereby providing the effect of stable transportation.

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0015] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIGS. 1 to 4 illustrate in detail a vibration-free transport cart for pharmaceuticals according to the present invention.

[0016] The present invention provides a vibration-free pharmaceutical transport cart for stable transport and delivery without damage caused by vibration and for preserving the quality of pharmaceuticals in a refrigerated state using a transport container (CT) in a cold chain system that maintains a constant low temperature to prevent the deterioration of the quality or efficacy of pharmaceuticals.

[0017] In the drawing, 10 is a trolley. This trolley (10) is a support structure for transporting a transport container (CT) for short-distance transport to a transport vehicle's loading platform and for transporting the medicine to a demand side for long-distance transport without damage or while preserving its quality.

[0018] This trolley (10) is roughly divided into a chassis (20) and an auxiliary chassis (30). At this time, the auxiliary chassis (30) moves in and out of the upper surface of the chassis (20) and is a short-distance transport vehicle for loading and unloading a heavy transport container (CT).

[0019] First, the chassis (20) is formed in the shape of a square plate using an aluminum profile, and a power supply control device (UPS) for refrigeration operation of a transport container (CT) is installed internally on the upper surface of the chassis (20). Additionally, a base (22) is provided with casters (CST) in all directions on the lower surface, a support frame (24) that is connected or released on the base (22) by the left and right rotation operation of one or more connecting levers (40) that are installed vertically through the upper surface of the base (22), and a loading plate (26) that is supported and placed on an absorption member (24a) that is evenly distributed on the upper surface of the support frame (24) to cushion the load of the transport container (CT) and to dissipate external shock or vibration, and is formed in a cap shape and serves as the upper cover of the chassis (20) and the bottom on which the transport container (CT) is placed.

[0020] The auxiliary chassis (30) is manufactured in the shape of a square frame using aluminum profiles, and casters (CST) are provided on all sides of the bottom surface, and a transport container (CT) is loaded on the top surface, so that short-distance transport, that is, the loading and unloading of the transport container (CT) on the top surface of the chassis (30) can be easily performed using the auxiliary chassis (30).

[0021] And on the upper surface of the loading plate (26) of the chassis (20), one side is open and guide blocks (50) are provided in a single row on three sides so that the auxiliary chassis (30), on which the transport container (CT) is mounted, slides in and out through the open part to guide the loading and unloading operation. At this time, the guide blocks (50) are provided with a pair of left and right rollers (50a) that make rolling contact with both sides of the auxiliary chassis (30) so that the auxiliary chassis (30) can move in and out stably without shaking during the loading and unloading operation.

[0022] Additionally, on the bottom surface of the auxiliary chassis (30), there is a pair of left and right male guide rails (30a) that slide freely along female blocks (26a) arranged in parallel on both sides of the central part of the loading plate (26).

[0023] Additionally, the auxiliary chassis (30) is coupled to or detached from the chassis (20) by using a detachable structure (60) provided between the central guide block (50) viewed from the open side and the guide blocks (50) provided on the upper part of the loading plate (26) of the chassis (20), and is equipped with cushioning materials (50b) that absorb insertion shock when the auxiliary chassis (30) moves in and out, on each of the guide blocks (50) on the left and right sides viewed from the open side among the guide blocks (50) provided on the upper part of the loading plate (26) of the chassis (20).

[0024] This detachable structure (60) consists of a female part (60a) provided on the guide block (50) and a male part (60b) provided on the auxiliary trolley (30).

[0025] And on the auxiliary chassis (30), a transport container (CT) is secured using a bolt (BT) that moves freely along the length direction along the groove (32) of the aluminum profile.

[0026] Meanwhile, the auxiliary chassis (30) is locked or unlocked by a locking structure (70) provided between the open side guide blocks (50) of the loading plate (26), and is connected or released from the upper surface of the loading plate (26) of the chassis (20), thereby increasing stability in transporting medicines.

[0027] The locking structure (70) consists of a latch (70a) provided on the guide block (50) and a lever assembly (70b) provided on the auxiliary chassis (30) that is locked and unlocked by lever operation indicated by the two-dot dashed line in FIG. 2.

[0028] Then, referring to Figures 5 (a) and 5 (b), I will explain the process of loading and unloading the transport container (CT) of the pharmaceutical vibration-free transport cart according to the present invention.

[0029] FIG. 5(a) shows the auxiliary chassis (30) being detached from the chassis (20) of the bogie (10) and unloaded, or the auxiliary chassis (30) being in a waiting state for loading onto the bogie (10).

[0030] FIG. 5(b) shows the auxiliary chassis (30) moving smoothly along the roller (50a) of the guide block (50) of the chassis (20) in the direction of the arrow indicated in the drawing on the upper surface of the chassis (20) of the bogie (10) and being loaded onto the loading plate (26) of the chassis (20). At this time, when the loading of the transport container (CT) onto the chassis (20) is completed, the auxiliary chassis (30) is stably fixed without shaking on the chassis (20) by means of the detachable structure (60) and the locking structure (70).

[0031] The vibration-free pharmaceutical transport cart according to the present invention is configured such that an auxiliary cart (30) with a transport container (CT) mounted on it is mounted on the cart (10) to achieve the desired transport or delivery. At this time, the shock or vibration transmitted to the transport container (CT) is absorbed by the absorbing member (24a), thereby ensuring that the pharmaceutical product being transported is safely supplied to the supply location without damage.

[0032] In addition, the present invention enables the loading and unloading of a transport container (CT) on the chassis (20) of a trolley (10) to be easily accomplished using an auxiliary chassis (30), and also enables stable transport.

[0033] Although an embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto and modifications may be made within the scope described in the claims. Explanation of the symbols
