Description

本発明は、血液や尿などの液体試料を収容可能なサンプルカップに関する。 The present invention relates to a sample cup capable of containing a liquid sample such as blood or urine.

従来、ヒトや動物からの血液や尿などに対して各種の分析を自動で行うことが可能な自動分析装置が使用されている。このような自動分析装置は、概略有底筒状をなし、血液や尿などの液体試料を収容可能なサンプルカップと、このサンプルカップと略同径であって上方が開口する穴を有するラックを使用することが一般的である（例えば特許文献１、２を参照）。具体的には、分析対象となる液体試料をサンプルカップに収容し、更にラックの穴に対してサンプルカップを上方から挿入する。その後、サンプルカップを保持したラックを自動分析装置にセットすれば、装置自身の機能（例えばサンプルカップの外側から収容した液体試料を光学的にスキャニングするなど）に基づいて分析が行われる。 Conventionally, an automatic analyzer capable of automatically performing various analyzes on blood and urine from humans and animals has been used. Such an automatic analyzer has a sample cup that has a substantially bottomed tubular shape and can hold a liquid sample such as blood or urine, and a rack that has a diameter substantially the same as the sample cup and has a hole that opens upward. It is generally used (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). Specifically, the liquid sample to be analyzed is contained in the sample cup, and the sample cup is further inserted into the hole of the rack from above. After that, if the rack holding the sample cup is set in the automatic analyzer, the analysis is performed based on the function of the apparatus itself (for example, optically scanning the liquid sample contained from the outside of the sample cup).

ところでこのような自動分析装置は、複数の液体試料を順次に、又はまとめて分析することができるものがあり、この場合には、複数の穴が設けられているラックを使用する。このようなラックに対して従来は、サンプルカップを指で摘まんで一つずつ穴に挿入しているため、作業に手間を要するうえ、時間もかかっている。 By the way, some such automatic analyzers can analyze a plurality of liquid samples sequentially or collectively, and in this case, a rack provided with a plurality of holes is used. Conventionally, sample cups are picked with fingers and inserted into the holes one by one for such a rack, so that the work is troublesome and time-consuming.

本発明は、このような問題点を解決することを課題とするものであって、複数のサンプルカップをラックに対して手間無く短時間で挿入できるように改善を図ることを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to improve so that a plurality of sample cups can be inserted into a rack in a short time without hassle.

本発明は、有底筒状をなし液体試料を収容可能であって、上部分の外周面が下部分の外周面よりも大径になる複数のサンプルカップと、隣り合う前記サンプルカップの相互間に設けられ、前記上部分の外周面同士を連結する連結板と、前記連結板の中間部において縦方向に延在する溝部と、を有するサンプルカップ集合体である。 In the present invention, there are a plurality of sample cups having a bottomed tubular shape and capable of accommodating a liquid sample, and the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion having a diameter larger than that of the outer peripheral surface of the lower portion, and between adjacent sample cups. It is a sample cup assembly having a connecting plate for connecting the outer peripheral surfaces of the upper portion to each other and a groove portion extending in the vertical direction in the intermediate portion of the connecting plate.

ここで前記溝部は、前記連結板の一の側面に設けられる第一溝部と、該連結板の他の側面に設けられる第二溝部とで構成され、該第一溝部と該第二溝部は互いに背中合わせになる位置に設けられることが好ましい。 Here, the groove portion is composed of a first groove portion provided on one side surface of the connecting plate and a second groove portion provided on the other side surface of the connecting plate, and the first groove portion and the second groove portion are mutually formed. It is preferably provided in a back-to-back position.

また前記上部分は、水平方向に延在する上端面及び下端面を有し、前記連結板は、前記上部分の上端面に揃う連結板上端面と、該上部分の下端面よりも上方に位置する連結板下端面とを有することが好ましい。 Further, the upper portion has an upper end surface and a lower end surface extending in the horizontal direction, and the connecting plate is above the upper end surface of the connecting plate aligned with the upper end surface of the upper portion and the lower end surface of the upper portion. It is preferable to have a lower end surface of the connecting plate to be located.

そして前記連結板は、前記連結板上端面から前記連結板下端面に向かって幅狭になることが好ましい。 The width of the connecting plate is preferably narrowed from the upper end surface of the connecting plate toward the lower end surface of the connecting plate.

このような構成になる本発明のサンプルカップ集合体によれば、複数の穴が設けられているラックに対して複数のサンプルカップをまとめて挿入することができる。このため、サンプルカップをラックへ保持させる作業を手間無く短時間で行うことができる。また、溝部に沿って連結板を折ることができるため、サンプルカップを一つに分離することも任意の数でまとまった状態にすることも可能である。このため、穴の数が異なるラックに対しても一種類のサンプルカップ集合体で対応可能である。また溝部は連結板に対して縦方向に延在しているため、サンプルカップを立てた状態で連結板を破断することができる。すなわち、連結板を折る際にサンプルカップを傾ける必要がないため、液体試料を収容した状態であってもサンプルカップの上部開口から液体試料が溢れることがない。 According to the sample cup assembly of the present invention having such a configuration, a plurality of sample cups can be inserted together into a rack provided with a plurality of holes. Therefore, the work of holding the sample cup in the rack can be performed in a short time without any trouble. Further, since the connecting plate can be folded along the groove, the sample cups can be separated into one or can be put together in an arbitrary number. Therefore, even for racks with different numbers of holes, one type of sample cup assembly can be used. Further, since the groove portion extends in the vertical direction with respect to the connecting plate, the connecting plate can be broken while the sample cup is upright. That is, since it is not necessary to tilt the sample cup when folding the connecting plate, the liquid sample does not overflow from the upper opening of the sample cup even when the liquid sample is contained.

以下、図面を参照しながら本発明に従うサンプルカップ集合体の一実施形態について説明する。なお、本明細書等における「上」「下」の関係は、図４に示すように、ラックにサンプルカップ集合体を保持させた状態での向きをいう。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the sample cup assembly according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 4, the relationship of "upper" and "lower" in the present specification and the like refers to the orientation of the sample cup assembly held in the rack.

図１、図２に示すように本実施形態のサンプルカップ集合体１は、複数（本実施形態では合計５個）のサンプルカップ２を備えている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sample cup assembly 1 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of sample cups 2 (a total of 5 in this embodiment).

サンプルカップ２は、透明の合成樹脂によって、全体的に有底筒状をなすように形成されている。本実施形態のサンプルカップ２は、上方に位置するとともに外周面が円筒状になる上部分３と、上部分３の下方に位置し、上部分３の外周面よりも小径の外周面になる下部分４とを備えている。上部分３の上端面５は平坦であって、略水平方向に延在している。また上部分３の下端面６も、平坦で且つ略水平方向に延在している。下部分４は、その下部の内側において、下方に向けて先細りになるとともに底部が半球殻状になる内筒部７を備えている。また上部分３の内側における内周面は、下方に向けて略垂直に延在した後、径方向内側に向けてテーパ状に縮径していて、更に下部分４にかけての部位では下方に向けて略垂直に延在した後、内筒部７の内側に位置する部位で更に縮径している。 The sample cup 2 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin so as to have a bottomed tubular shape as a whole. The sample cup 2 of the present embodiment is located above and has a cylindrical outer peripheral surface, and is located below the upper portion 3 and has an outer peripheral surface having a smaller diameter than the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion 3. It has a portion 4 and. The upper end surface 5 of the upper portion 3 is flat and extends in a substantially horizontal direction. Further, the lower end surface 6 of the upper portion 3 is also flat and extends in a substantially horizontal direction. The lower portion 4 includes an inner cylinder portion 7 inside the lower portion thereof, which tapers downward and has a hemispherical shell shape at the bottom. Further, the inner peripheral surface inside the upper portion 3 extends substantially vertically downward and then is tapered inward in the radial direction, and further downward in the portion extending to the lower portion 4. After extending substantially vertically, the diameter is further reduced at a portion located inside the inner cylinder portion 7.

またサンプルカップ集合体１は、サンプルカップ２を直列状に間隔をあけて並べた状態において、これらの相互間をつなぐ連結板８を備えている。連結板８は、その上端面（連結板上端面９）は上部分３の上端面５に揃って（同じ高さで）あるのに対し、その下端面（連結板下端面１０）は、上部分３の下端面６よりも上方に位置する。また連結板８の厚みは、図２（ｂ）に示すように、連結板上端面９から連結板下端面１０に向かって幅狭になっている。 Further, the sample cup assembly 1 includes a connecting plate 8 that connects the sample cups 2 to each other in a state in which the sample cups 2 are arranged in series at intervals. The upper end surface (connecting plate upper end surface 9) of the connecting plate 8 is aligned with the upper end surface 5 of the upper portion 3 (at the same height), whereas the lower end surface (connecting plate lower end surface 10) is upper. It is located above the lower end surface 6 of the portion 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the thickness of the connecting plate 8 becomes narrower from the upper end surface 9 of the connecting plate to the lower end surface 10 of the connecting plate.

このような連結板８には、図示したように縦方向に延在する溝部１１が設けられている。本実施形態の溝部１１は、図１（ｂ）に示すように、連結板８の中央部において、連結板８の全高に亘って（連結板上端面９から連結板下端面１０に至るまで）延在している。また溝部１１は、図１（ａ）に示すように、連結板８の一の側面に設けられる第一溝部１１ａと、連結板８の他の側面に設けられる第二溝部１１ｂとで構成されるものである。ここで第一溝部１１ａと第二溝部１１ｂは、平面視においてＶ字状をなすように形成されている。また第一溝部１１ａと第二溝部１１ｂは、互いに背中合わせになる位置に設けられている。 As shown in the figure, such a connecting plate 8 is provided with a groove portion 11 extending in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 1B, the groove portion 11 of the present embodiment extends over the entire height of the connecting plate 8 (from the connecting plate upper end surface 9 to the connecting plate lower end surface 10) at the central portion of the connecting plate 8. It is postponed. Further, as shown in FIG. 1A, the groove portion 11 is composed of a first groove portion 11a provided on one side surface of the connecting plate 8 and a second groove portion 11b provided on the other side surface of the connecting plate 8. It is a thing. Here, the first groove portion 11a and the second groove portion 11b are formed so as to form a V shape in a plan view. Further, the first groove portion 11a and the second groove portion 11b are provided at positions where they are back to back with each other.

なお、本発明のサンプルカップ集合体は特定の大きさに限定されるものではないが、一例として具体的なサイズを挙げると、サンプルカップ２における全高は３５〜４０ｍｍ程度、上部分３の外径はφ１５〜２０ｍｍ程度、下部分４の外径はφ１０〜１５ｍｍ程度、上部分３の上端面５から下端面６に至る高さは８〜１２ｍｍ程度、連結板８の厚み（連結板上端面９側の厚み）は１〜３ｍｍ程度、連結板８の連結板上端面９から連結板下端面１０に至る高さは４〜８ｍｍ程度、第一溝部１１ａと第二溝部１１ｂの深さ（連結板８の側面からＶ字状をなす第一溝部１１ａと第二溝部１１ｂの頂部までの深さ）は０．１〜０．５ｍｍ程度である。なお図示したサンプルカップ集合体１においては、サンプルカップ２における全高は約３８ｍｍ、上部分３の外径は約φ１７ｍｍ、下部分４の外径は約φ１１ｍｍ、上部分３の上端面５から下端面６に至る高さは約１０ｍｍ、連結板８の厚み（連結板上端面９側の厚み）は約２ｍｍ、連結板８の連結板上端面９から連結板下端面１０に至る高さは約６ｍｍ、第一溝部１１ａと第二溝部１１ｂの深さ（連結板８の側面からＶ字状をなす第一溝部１１ａと第二溝部１１ｂの頂部までの深さ）は約０．２ｍｍである。 The sample cup assembly of the present invention is not limited to a specific size, but to give a specific size as an example, the total height of the sample cup 2 is about 35 to 40 mm, and the outer diameter of the upper portion 3 is Is about φ15 to 20 mm, the outer diameter of the lower part 4 is about φ10 to 15 mm, the height from the upper end surface 5 to the lower end surface 6 of the upper part 3 is about 8 to 12 mm, and the thickness of the connecting plate 8 (the upper end surface 9 of the connecting plate 9). The thickness on the side) is about 1 to 3, the height from the upper end surface 9 of the connecting plate 8 to the lower end surface 10 of the connecting plate is about 4 to 8 mm, and the depth of the first groove portion 11a and the second groove portion 11b (connecting plate). The depth from the side surface of No. 8 to the top of the first groove portion 11a and the second groove portion 11b forming a V shape) is about 0.1 to 0.5 mm. In the illustrated sample cup assembly 1, the total height of the sample cup 2 is about 38 mm, the outer diameter of the upper portion 3 is about φ17 mm, the outer diameter of the lower portion 4 is about φ11 mm, and the upper end surface 5 to the lower end surface of the upper portion 3 The height to 6 is about 10 mm, the thickness of the connecting plate 8 (thickness on the upper end surface 9 side of the connecting plate) is about 2 mm, and the height from the upper end surface 9 of the connecting plate 8 to the lower end surface 10 of the connecting plate is about 6 mm. The depth of the first groove portion 11a and the second groove portion 11b (the depth from the side surface of the connecting plate 8 to the top of the first groove portion 11a and the second groove portion 11b forming a V shape) is about 0.2 mm.

このようなサンプルカップ集合体１は、図３に示すラック５０で保持することができる。図示したラック５０は、全体的に矩形状に形作られるものであって、その天面５１には、下方に向けて延在する円形の穴５２が複数（本実施形態では合計５個）設けられている。また穴５２の上部には、この穴５２よりも大径になる上部穴５３が設けられている。なお隣り合う穴５２の間隔は、サンプルカップ集合体１における隣り合うサンプルカップ２の間隔と略同一である。また穴５２の内径と上部穴５３の内径は、サンプルカップ２における下部分４の外径と上部分３の外径と略同一か、それよりも多少大きくなっている。また天面５１から上部穴５３に至る深さは、サンプルカップ集合体１における連結板下端面１０から下端面６に至る隙間よりも浅くなっている（図４参照）。 Such a sample cup assembly 1 can be held by the rack 50 shown in FIG. The illustrated rack 50 is formed in a rectangular shape as a whole, and a plurality of circular holes 52 extending downward (a total of 5 holes in the present embodiment) are provided on the top surface 51 of the rack 50. ing. Further, an upper hole 53 having a diameter larger than that of the hole 52 is provided above the hole 52. The distance between the adjacent holes 52 is substantially the same as the distance between the adjacent sample cups 2 in the sample cup assembly 1. Further, the inner diameter of the hole 52 and the inner diameter of the upper hole 53 are substantially the same as or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the lower portion 4 and the outer diameter of the upper portion 3 in the sample cup 2. Further, the depth from the top surface 51 to the upper hole 53 is shallower than the gap from the lower end surface 10 to the lower end surface 6 of the connecting plate in the sample cup assembly 1 (see FIG. 4).

このような構成になるサンプルカップ集合体１によれば、連結板８によって複数のサンプルカップ２を連結しているため、図４に示すようにこれらをまとめてラック５０の穴５２に挿入することができる。また連結板８には、図１に示すように溝部１１を設けているため、溝部１１に沿って連結板８を折ることで、サンプルカップ２を任意の数に分離することができる。 According to the sample cup assembly 1 having such a configuration, since a plurality of sample cups 2 are connected by the connecting plate 8, they are collectively inserted into the holes 52 of the rack 50 as shown in FIG. Can be done. Further, since the connecting plate 8 is provided with the groove portion 11 as shown in FIG. 1, the sample cups 2 can be separated into an arbitrary number by folding the connecting plate 8 along the groove portion 11.

また本実施形態の溝部１１は縦方向に延在しているため、サンプルカップ２を立てた状態で連結板８を破断ことができる。このため、サンプルカップ２に液体試料を収容した状態であってもその上部開口から液体試料が溢れることがない。また溝部１１は、連結板８の一の側面に設けた第一溝部１１ａと、連結板８の他の側面に設けた第二溝部１１ｂとで構成されるものであるため、一の側面が内側になる向きに連結板８を折り曲げても、又は他の側面が内側になる向きにこれを折り曲げても連結板８を破断させることができる。 Further, since the groove portion 11 of the present embodiment extends in the vertical direction, the connecting plate 8 can be broken while the sample cup 2 is upright. Therefore, even when the liquid sample is contained in the sample cup 2, the liquid sample does not overflow from the upper opening thereof. Further, since the groove portion 11 is composed of the first groove portion 11a provided on one side surface of the connecting plate 8 and the second groove portion 11b provided on the other side surface of the connecting plate 8, one side surface is inside. The connecting plate 8 can be broken even if the connecting plate 8 is bent in the direction in which the other side surface is inward.

ところで連結板８の厚みが一定の場合は、溝部１１の強度も全長に亘って略一定になるため、連結板８を折るには、溝部１１の全体が一度に破断するような力を加える必要があり、過大な力を要することになる。一方、本実施形態の連結板８は、連結板上端面９に対して連結板下端面１０の厚みが薄いため、溝部１１の強度は、連結板下端面１０側の方が連結板上端面９側よりも低くなる。このため溝部１１に沿って折り曲げた際は、加える力がそれ程大きくなくても強度の低い溝部１１の下部側を優先して破断させることができる。なお、一旦溝部１１が破断し始めると、その破断をきっかけに亀裂が進展するようにして溝部１１が破断していくが、その際に要する力は小さくて済む。このように本実施形態のサンプルカップ集合体１によれば、より小さな力でサンプルカップ２を分離できるという利点がある。 By the way, when the thickness of the connecting plate 8 is constant, the strength of the groove portion 11 is also substantially constant over the entire length. Therefore, in order to fold the connecting plate 8, it is necessary to apply a force that breaks the entire groove portion 11 at once. There is, and it will require excessive power. On the other hand, in the connecting plate 8 of the present embodiment, the lower end surface 10 of the connecting plate is thinner than the upper end surface 9 of the connecting plate, so that the strength of the groove 11 is higher on the lower end surface 10 side of the connecting plate than on the upper end surface 9 of the connecting plate. It will be lower than the side. Therefore, when the product is bent along the groove portion 11, the lower side of the groove portion 11 having a low strength can be preferentially broken even if the applied force is not so large. Once the groove portion 11 begins to break, the groove portion 11 breaks so that the crack grows as a result of the breakage, but the force required at that time can be small. As described above, the sample cup assembly 1 of the present embodiment has an advantage that the sample cup 2 can be separated with a smaller force.

また溝部１１で連結板８を折った際、場合によっては折れた部位に下向きに突出するバリ状の突起ができるおそれがあるが、図４に示すように本実施形態では、ラック５０にサンプルカップ２を挿入した状態において、天面５１と連結板下端面１０との間には隙間が設けられていて、バリ状の突起が形成されてもこの突起が天面５１に当たってサンプルカップ２の挿入の妨げになることがなく、サンプルカップ２を安定的に保持することができる。 Further, when the connecting plate 8 is folded at the groove portion 11, there is a possibility that a burr-like protrusion protruding downward may be formed at the broken portion. However, as shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, the sample cup is mounted on the rack 50. In the state where 2 is inserted, a gap is provided between the top surface 51 and the lower end surface 10 of the connecting plate, and even if a burr-like protrusion is formed, this protrusion hits the top surface 51 and the sample cup 2 is inserted. The sample cup 2 can be stably held without being hindered.
