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 transport containers for such pharmaceuticals have been developed and used to date. Generally, they are sealed boxes in which the surrounding walls and bottom 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 opened and closed with a lid.

[0004] In addition, in the transport containers for pharmaceuticals such as high-risk pathogen vaccines that ensure quality maintenance and safety, there is a requirement to maintain a relatively low temperature and is sensitive to temperature changes, so the weight and volume of the transport containers are gradually increasing due to the addition of cooling devices such as cooling packs on the lids and cooling modules on the perimeter walls.

[0005] Recently, as transport containers have become heavier and bulkier, lifting them directly requires a significant amount of manual labor and reduces work efficiency, so they are being transported using separate handcarts.

[0006] However, when transporting pharmaceutical containers using such handcarts, relatively shock-sensitive medicines, such as liquid medicines, are primarily contained in glass bottles, leading to a problem where the medicines are easily damaged by external shocks caused by vibrations during transport.

[0007] Therefore, in recent years, there has been a demand for transport carts capable of not only ensuring stable low-temperature storage of pharmaceuticals but also safely transporting and handling transport containers without damaging the pharmaceuticals. Prior art literature

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0016] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIGS. 1 to 5 illustrate in detail a vibration-free transport cart for pharmaceuticals according to the present invention.

[0017] The present invention provides a vibration-free transport cart for pharmaceuticals that uses a transport container (CT) to maintain the quality of the pharmaceuticals in a refrigerated state and transports them stably without damage caused by vibration, in a cold chain system that maintains a constant low temperature to prevent the deterioration of the quality or efficacy of the pharmaceuticals.

[0018] The vibration-free transport cart for pharmaceuticals according to the present invention is broadly configured with a chassis (10) and a cover (20) separated vertically. The separation of the chassis (10) and the cover (20) is intended to allow for easy repair or replacement work by disassembling the cover (20) of the chassis (10) in the event of a malfunction or damage to the power supply control device (UPS) placed on the chassis (10), which will be described later.

[0019] First, the chassis (10) is formed as a single mass by combining a plate-shaped base surface (12) provided thereon and a square-shaped support frame (14) that supports the underside of the base surface (12) in an overlapping manner.

[0020] A power supply control device (UPS) for refrigeration operation of a transport container (CT) is placed on the plate-shaped base surface (12), and casters (CST) are provided on the bottom surface of the support frame (14) in all directions to facilitate the movement of the chassis (10) on which the transport container (CT) of a heavy object is loaded.

[0021] The cover (20) is formed by separating an upper part (22) in the shape of a cap and a lower part (24) in the shape of a square frame that is open at the top and bottom, and these upper and lower parts (22, 24) are joined together to form a box shape, covering the upper perimeter of the chassis (10) on which the power supply device (UPS) is mounted, and the upper part (24) also serves as the loading bottom of the transport container (CT). At this time, the separation structure in the upper and lower parts (22, 24) of the cover (20) is a structure for achieving shock and vibration absorption action of the absorbing member to be described later.

[0022] The chassis (10) and cover (20) of the present invention, configured in this way, are made of a relatively light material, namely aluminum, which reduces the weight of the transport cart and makes it lighter, so as to reduce the load capacity as much as possible when transporting medicines.

[0023] Meanwhile, between the upper and lower parts (22, 24) of the cover (20), there is an absorbing member (30) interposed between them to dissipate shock or vibration transmitted from the outside. At this time, the absorbing member (30) may be made of rubber or coil springs with excellent shock and vibration absorption properties.

[0024] The lower part (24) of the cover (20) in the longitudinal direction is installed protruding inward from both sides of the entire length and has a fixing member (24a) for connection with the chassis (10). At this time, the fixing member (24a) is formed in the shape of a strip.

[0025] And the chassis (12) has a one-touch type binding lever (40) that is installed through the base surface (14) from top to bottom and allows the cover (20) to be connected to or released from the chassis (10) by rotating left and right to hold and release the fixing member (24a) of the lower part (24) of the cover (20).

[0026] Holders (50) are provided such that a support (CT-1) is inserted into the upper surface (22) of the upper part (20) of the transport container (CT) on all four sides of the bottom surface of the transport container (CT) to fix the transport container (CT) in place, that is, to prevent the transport container (CT) from sliding off or moving from the upper surface of the transport cart's cover (20) during transport of the pharmaceutical transport container (CT).

[0027] The cover (20) has reinforcing members (22a) installed along the entire length of the ceiling horizontal direction of the cover (20) between the upper part (22) of the cover (20) and the absorbing member (30). At this time, the reinforcing members (22a) are channel-shaped and will increase the upper protection of the absorbing member (30) and the supporting reinforcement force at the upper part (22) of the cover (20), which is made of lightweight aluminum.

[0028] Meanwhile, on both the left and right sides in the longitudinal direction of the cover (20), handles (60) are provided for moving the pharmaceutical product of the present invention via a vibration-free transport cart or for carrying it by hand.

[0029] Then, referring to Figures 6 (a) and (b), I will explain the process of combining and separating the vibration-free transport cart chassis (10) and the cover (20) of the pharmaceutical product of the present invention.

[0030] Figure 6 (a) shows the cover (20) separated from the chassis (10), illustrating the state of repair or replacement of parts due to failure or damage in the power supply control device (UPS) for the refrigeration operation of the transport container (CT).

[0031] Figure 6(b) shows the appearance of the chassis (10) and the cover (20) being combined as one unit when transporting or carrying pharmaceuticals, by connecting a fixing member (24a), which is installed protruding inward from both sides of the lower part (24) in the longitudinal direction of the cover (20), to a one-touch type binding lever (40) provided on the chassis (10).

[0032] In the vibration-free transport cart of the present invention, a transport container (CT) is mounted on a cover (20) to achieve the desired transport or delivery. At this time, shocks or vibrations transmitted from the chassis (10) are absorbed by an absorbing member (30) interposed between the upper and lower parts (22, 24) of the cover (20), thereby ensuring that the transported medicine is safely supplied to the supply location without damage.

[0033] In addition, the present invention allows a transport container (CT) to be fixed in place on a cover (20) using a holder (50), that is, the transport container (CT) can be transported and transported stably without movement on the cover (20).

[0034] In addition, the present invention allows the chassis (10) and the cover (20) to be connected or disconnected using a one-touch type connecting lever, thereby making it easy to perform repairs or replace parts caused by failure or damage to the power supply control device (UPS) for the refrigeration operation of the transport container (CT) installed internally on the transport cart.

[0035] 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
