Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Align rubber stoppers fitted in containers of blood collection tubes with different heights to a predetermined height position. [Structure] A plurality of racks for vertically holding containers having different heights are connected slidably in the vertical direction.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a rack structure in which containers such as blood collection tubes are erected and held, and particularly to a rack structure in which a plurality of types of containers having different height dimensions can be set at a predetermined height position.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems]

 As is well known, as the blood collection tubes used in each hospital (medical clinic), not only the caliber, but also the height measurement method is varied. At present, various different blood collection tubes are used.

By the way, in the past, in the case of removing a rubber stopper from a blood collection tube of such a different size, conventionally, there was no choice but to do it manually. However, the present applicant did not do this manually. A device for automatically opening the cap has already been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 3-361092).

However, the opening device proposed by the applicant of the present invention is constructed so as to pull out the rubber plug fitted in the blood collection tube having a constant height dimension, and therefore, the height dimension as described above can be obtained. When trying to pull out the rubber stopper of a blood collection tube by a different method with the above rack structure, there is a problem that a large amount of unplugged remains.

The present invention has been made in view of the present situation, and an object thereof is to provide a rubber stopper fitted to a container of a blood collection tube having a different height dimension at a desired height position. It is intended to provide a rack structure that can be aligned with.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the rack structure according to the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of rack bodies for vertically arranging and holding containers having different height dimensions are connected slidably in the vertical direction. ..

[0007]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the rack according to this embodiment includes a plurality of rack members 15 (in the illustrated embodiment, 5) that stand and hold the blood-collected containers 14 in which the rubber stoppers 16 are tightly mounted. Individual pieces) are connected in a horizontal row.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each rack body 15 is formed in a block shape with a constant height dimension, and each rack body 15 has one A container holding hole 21 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is provided so as to vertically hold the container 14.

In addition, a laterally trapezoidal long groove 22 is provided on one side surface of each rack body 15 along the vertical direction, and is slidably engaged with the long groove 22 on the other side surface. Engagement projections 23 having a substantially trapezoidal shape that are fitted together are provided so as to project in the vertical direction.

Therefore, in each of the rack bodies 15, one engaging protrusion 23 of the adjacent rack bodies 15 is engaged with the long groove 22 of the other rack body 15 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. ..

Each of the rack bodies 15 thus connected is positioned at a predetermined height position via, for example, each rod member 31 of the rack lifting / lowering device 30 which is controlled to move up and down independently at the opening position. The rubber stoppers 16 are lifted to a height position where they abut the lower surface of the rubber plug 10, and are used to align the rubber plugs 16 at a constant height position.

Therefore, in the rack structure according to this embodiment, the rubber plugs 16 fitted to the containers 14 of the blood collection tubes having different heights are attached to the rack body 15 at the height of the container 14. It can be lifted up to a predetermined height position according to the size and aligned, and the number of connected racks 15 can be increased or decreased according to the size that can be pulled out at one time in the opening position. It is economical because a dedicated rack corresponding to is unnecessary, and when a part of the rack body is damaged, only the damaged rack body 15 needs to be replaced.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the rack structure according to the present invention, it is possible to raise the rubber stoppers fitted to the containers of the blood collection tubes having different heights so as to be aligned at the predetermined height position. Moreover, a dedicated rack corresponding to the size of the cap opening device is not required, and when a part of the rack body is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, which is economical. , Which has an excellent effect.
