Description

Cartridge container

The present invention relates to a cartridge container for housing a cartridge having one end side well disposed on one end side in the longitudinal direction and the other end side well disposed on the other end side in the longitudinal direction.

Conventionally, this type of cartridge has one end-side well that is disposed on one end side in the longitudinal direction and has a long cylindrical shape below, and a tubular shape that is disposed on the other end side in the longitudinal direction and is shorter than the one end-side well. One having a well on the other end side is known (for example, FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1). In addition, the cartridge container includes a concave container that can accommodate a plurality of such cartridges arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction, and the container is located between the wells on one end side of each cartridge accommodated. There is known one end side well partition portion that partitions one end side well, and includes one end side well partition portion that restricts movement of the one end side well side of each cartridge in the arrangement direction (for example, Patent Document 2).

In such a cartridge container, the one end side well partitioning part restricts movement of the one end side well side of each cartridge in the arrangement direction. That is, in such a cartridge container, when the cartridges are transported in a state in which the cartridges are arranged in parallel in the direction in which the longitudinal directions are parallel and accommodated in the accommodating part, it is possible to restrict movement such that the one end side well side of each cartridge is displaced, It is difficult for the one well side of the cartridge to jump inadvertently in the arrangement direction in the accommodating portion and to be misaligned.

An example of use of the cartridge container having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.

Empty cartridge containers that do not contain cartridges 3 are packaged and delivered in a state where a plurality of empty cartridge containers are arranged in the left-right direction (or the arrangement direction in which cartridges 3 are accommodated). On the outer surfaces of the left and right end side walls of the main body 1 (the left wall portion 111 of the left main body portion 11 and the right wall portion 122 of the right main body portion 12), flat portions 111g provided flush with the

outer surface ribs

111f, 122f, Since 122g is formed, when arranging a plurality of cartridge containers in contact with each other along the arrangement direction, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the plane portion 111g of one cartridge container and The flat portion 122g of the other cartridge container comes into contact. That is, the flat surfaces of one cartridge container and the other cartridge container are in contact with each other. Therefore, the contact suppresses the pressing force generated by the contact to act on only a part of the main body part and cause the part of the main body part to be deformed.

Subsequently, an IC label (a label on which the product name, number of tests, storage method, effective date, lot number, and company name are printed) is attached to the empty cartridge container that has been delivered. A plurality of cartridges 3 filled with reagents are accommodated in the accommodating portion 2 in a direction in which the longitudinal directions are parallel to each other. Specifically, seven cartridges 3 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 2 of the left main body 11 and seven cartridges 3 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 2 of the right main body 12. In this accommodation, the deep well of each cartridge 3 is marked as shown in FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B with a circular hole 115e formed in the rear side of the bottom wall 115 being spaced apart in the left-right direction. 31 is inserted between the deep

well partition portions

114b and 124b, and the lower portion of the deep well 31 is inserted into an area defined by the deep

well partition portions

114b and 124b and the

lower partition portions

115d and 125d (insertion). To do). Further, the shallow well 32 of each cartridge 3 is fitted between the shallow

well partition portions

113b and 123b facing the deep

well partition portions

114b and 124b. Further, the handle portion 33 of each cartridge 3 is placed on the upper surfaces of the

handles

113a and 123a so as to cover the upper portions of the

protrusion portions

113c and 123c of the

front wall portions

113 and 123, and the

rear wall portions

114 and 124 protrude. It is placed on the upper surfaces of the

handles

114a and 124a so as to cover the upper portions of the

portions

114c and 124c.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, a top seal T is placed along the direction of alignment above the cartridge 3. The top seal T is affixed to the four affixing

ribs

111b, 131a, 131b, and 122b of the cartridge container by applying heat to the heater head incorporating the heater. A top seal portion corresponding to the upper surface (QR code (registered trademark) label attaching portion) of the upper plate portion 131 of the connecting portion 13 is cut off. Here, both ends of the top seal T on the left main body part 11 side after excision are the upper surface of the sticking rib 111b of the left wall part 111 and the left main body part 11 side (right wall part 112 side) on the connecting part 13. It is affixed to the upper surface of the affixing rib 131a. That is, the sticking rib 111b on the left wall portion 111 and the sticking rib 131a on the right wall portion 112 side on the connecting portion 13 form a pair of sticking ribs. Further, both ends of the top seal T on the right main body portion 12 side after excision are on the upper surface of the sticking rib 122b of the right wall portion 122 and on the right main body portion 12 side (left wall portion 121 side) on the connecting portion 13. It is affixed to the upper surface of the affixing rib 131b. That is, the sticking rib 122b of the right wall portion 122 and the sticking rib 131b on the left wall portion 121 side on the connecting portion 13 form a pair of sticking ribs.

Subsequently, the cartridge container containing a plurality of cartridges 3 as described above is transferred to the place where the automatic immunity measuring device is installed for the automatic immunity measurement of each cartridge 3. Then, before the automatic immunity measurement, the top seal T attached to the cartridge container is peeled off. When the top seal T is peeled off, for example, in the top seal T on the left main body part 11 side, from one end part affixed to the affixing rib 131a on the connecting part 13 to the affixing rib 111b of the left wall part 111. It is peeled off toward the other end of the affixed side. Further, in the top seal T on the right main body portion 12 side, from one end portion affixed to the affixing rib 131b on the connecting portion 13 to the other end portion affixed to the affixing rib 122b of the right wall portion 122. Peeled off.

Here, the width dimension (length in the front-rear direction) of the sticking rib 111b of the left wall portion 111 and the sticking rib 122b of the right wall portion 122 is the same as or substantially the same as the width dimension of the top seal T and is slightly larger. It is comprised so that it may become. The width dimension (length in the front-rear direction) of the two sticking

ribs

131a and 131b on the connecting portion 13 is the same as or substantially the same as the width dimension of the top seal T and is configured to be slightly smaller. . Therefore, when the top seal T is peeled off as described above, the top seal T on the width of the sticking

ribs

131a and 131b is easily picked. That is, it is difficult to pick the top seal T from the outside of the width of the sticking

ribs

131a and 131b, and it is possible to prevent the seal that closes the upper surface opening of the cartridge 3 from being picked together and peeled off.

After the top seal T is peeled off, the cartridge container in which a plurality of cartridges 3 are arranged in the direction parallel to the longitudinal direction and accommodated in the accommodating portion 2 is carried to a predetermined position in the automatic immunoassay device. At this time, the deep well 31 of each accommodated cartridge 3 is partitioned by the deep

well partitioning portions

114b and 124b, and the deep well 31 side of each cartridge 3 is restricted from moving in the alignment direction. (See FIGS. 14A and 14B). Moreover, the shallow well 32 of each cartridge 3 accommodated is partitioned by shallow

well partitioning portions

113b and 123b, and the shallow well 32 side of each cartridge 3 is restricted from moving in the arrangement direction. . Further, the lower part of the deep well 31 of each cartridge 3 accommodated is provided at the other end in the longitudinal direction by

lower partition parts

115d and 125d protruding from the upper surfaces of the

bottom wall parts

115 and 125 located below the shallow well 32. Movement to the (shallow well 32 side) is restricted. Therefore, in such a cartridge container, the cartridge 3 is not parallelly moved in the longitudinal direction without being displaced due to the cartridge 3 being inadvertently jumping out or rattling in the longitudinal direction. It is possible to hold a state in which a plurality of such devices are arranged side by side and are accommodated in the accommodating portion 2 and be carried to a predetermined position in the automatic immunoassay device.

After the automatic immunity measurement (after the use of the cartridge 3), the empty cartridge container is temporarily stored and managed in a state of being stacked up and down as shown in FIG. 16, for example, Is done. When a plurality of cartridge containers are stacked, the upper ends of the lower deep

well partition portions

114b and 124b are on the side (or rear wall portion side 114) that houses the deep well 31 of the upper cartridge container. , 124 side) and is in contact with and supported by the bottom surface (lower surface). That is, the lower deep

well partition portions

114b and 124b are one-end-side bottom surface support ribs. The upper ends of the inner rib 111e of the lower left wall 111 and the inner rib 122e of the right wall 122 are on the side (or front wall side 113, 123) of the upper cartridge container that houses the shallow well 32. Side) and contact the bottom surface (lower surface). That is, the inner surface rib 111e of the left wall portion 111 and the inner surface rib 122e of the right wall portion 122 are the other end side bottom surface supporting ribs. Here, the lower deep

well partitioning portions

114b and 124b and the inner rib 111e of the lower left wall 111 and the inner rib 122e of the right wall 122 are formed by stacking a plurality of cartridge containers.
