Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Effectively prevent the rack from falling over. [Structure] The bottom of a rack for standing and holding containers such as blood collection tubes is wide.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a rack structure for vertically holding a container such as a blood collection tube, and more particularly to a rack structure capable of effectively preventing a rack from falling.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems]

 As is well known, a rack holding a plurality of containers such as blood collection tubes can be sent to a rubber stopper opening device, for example, via a rack transfer device while holding the containers. May be used for.

In such a case, in general, the rack itself is configured to vertically hold a plurality of containers in a state of being aligned in a horizontal row, and a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the rack (hereinafter, The width of the rack is generally narrower than the diameter of the container. Therefore, when the rack is sent in the transport direction, the It has a problem that it is easy to fall down in the transfer direction and, for example, when the container held in the rack is open, the blood and the like in the container flows out and the inspection becomes impossible. .

The present invention has been made in view of such a current situation, and an object thereof is to provide a rack structure excellent in stability that can effectively prevent the rack from toppling over. It is a thing.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is characterized in that the bottom of a rack for standing and holding a container such as a blood collection tube is wide.

[0006]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a rack 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. A rack 1 according to this embodiment includes a main body 2 having a substantially concave front shape and a main body 2 of the main body 2. The holding plate portions 3 and 4 are provided on the upper and middle portions, and the container insertion holes 5 are formed at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the holding plate portions 3 and 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bottom portion 2a of the main body 2 is integrally formed so that the width dimension D thereof is wider than the width dimension d of the both side walls 2b of the main body. The bottom surface of the bottom portion 2a is roughened so that the frictional force is improved.

Further, the container insertion hole 5 is formed to have a diameter larger than the diameter of the container 6, and a plurality of bullet pieces 7 urged in the diameter reducing direction in a normal state are formed on the peripheral portion thereof. It extends downward.

This bullet piece 7 is arranged on the periphery of a container insertion hole 5 formed on both of the holding plates 3 and 4 or on the upper holding plate 3, and, for example, a container 6 sealed with a rubber stopper 9. It is formed so as to elastically contact the outer peripheral surface of the container 6 with an elastic force that does not fall out of the container insertion hole 5 even if it is turned upside down.

Further, the main body 2 and the holding plates 3 and 4 are provided with a plurality of small holes 8 for passing cold air, and although not shown, for example, a container 6 is erected. Even if the rack 1 is housed in the refrigerator for blood storage in a close contact state, cold air is uniformly supplied from the small holes 8 to the containers 6, so that the blood sample can be efficiently stored at a predetermined storage temperature in a short time. can do.

FIG. 2 shows a rack 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and the rack 1 according to this embodiment is entirely formed with the same width dimension as the width dimension d of both side walls 2b of the main body. And a rack holding plate 2e having a projection 2d that is detachably fitted in the locking hole 2c. Since the width dimension D of the holding plate 2e is wider than the width dimension d of the both side walls 2b of the main body, other configurations and operations are the same as those in the first embodiment. Are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

Therefore, according to the rack 1 according to this embodiment, the rack holding plate 2e may be attached to the bottom portion 2a of the main body 2 when necessary, and the rack main body 2 itself can be attached to the existing one. The stop hole 2c can be opened and used, and the cost can be kept low. Of course, the rack holding plate 2e may be made of a metal body or the like, and the center of gravity of the rack 1 may be lowered to further improve the stability.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the rack structure of the present invention, it is possible to effectively prevent the rack from toppling over.
