Autonomous Virus Detection Device for Floor Sampling
Here’s PatSnap Eureka !
Summary
Problems
Current detection methods for viruses are inadequate in effectively collecting and analyzing viral samples from floor surfaces, particularly in environments where viruses may be spread through coughing or sneezing, leading to potential outbreaks.
Innovation solutions
A detection device comprising an autonomous collection device that moves on the floor surface to collect objects, including viruses, using a suction mechanism and storage, and a station device with a transfer pipe and detection system to analyze the collected samples, utilizing centrifugal separation and immunochromatographic techniques for accurate detection.
TRIZ Analysis
Specific contradictions:
General conflict description:
Principle concept:
If virus detection is performed in the air, then virus spread can be detected, but collection efficiency is insufficient compared to floor surface sampling
Why choose this principle:
The invention transitions from air-based virus detection to floor surface-based detection, changing the sampling dimension from three-dimensional air space to two-dimensional surface contact. This allows the collection device to effectively capture viral particles that settle on floors, providing more reliable sample collection while maintaining detection effectiveness.
Principle concept:
If manual sample collection is used, then operation is simple, but automation and efficiency are reduced
Why choose this principle:
The collection device is designed to autonomously navigate floor surfaces, locate and collect viral particles without human intervention. The device independently performs movement, sampling, and sample transfer functions, achieving full automation while maintaining operational simplicity through intuitive design.

Abstract
A detection system including an autonomous collection device that is capable of moving on a floor surface and for collecting an object on the floor surface, and a station device for detecting an analyte from the object collected from the floor surface by the autonomous collection device. The autonomous collection device includes a moving part for moving on the floor surface, a primary electric blower for sucking the object on the floor surface, and a dust container for storing the sucked object. The station device includes a transfer pipe fluidically connected to the dust container of the autonomous collection device when the autonomous collection device is positioned in a home position, and a virus detection part for detecting the analyte from the object transferred from the dust container through the transfer pipe.
