Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sampling devices, and in particular to an intelligent self-service respiratory specimen sampling device. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are more and more patients with respiratory tract infections, especially acute upper respiratory tract infections, which cover many upper respiratory tract diseases. Respiratory infectious diseases are mainly transmitted through infectious pathogens that invade the respiratory tract and spread to healthy people through droplets as the main transmission route.

[0003] Patients with respiratory tract infections usually have their respiratory secretions taken for testing. If patients take samples in public places, they can spread droplets containing bacteria and viruses in the air, which can stay for several hours and cause infection if inhaled by people around them. Therefore, the current sampling environment for patients with respiratory tract infections has a very big hidden danger. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, in order to reduce the spread of pathogens and avoid infecting others when respiratory patients collect specimens, the present invention provides an intelligent self-service respiratory specimen sampling device. When a user enters a sampling room, he can scan his ID card information, print a receipt, and receive a container for collecting specimens. He collects specimens according to the system prompts. After the user leaves, the sampling room will be automatically disinfected and sterilized, which can effectively control environmental pollution and cross-infection of users.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. The present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Example 1

[0038] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the overall internal and external structure of the present embodiment 1, including a sampling room, wherein the sampling room includes a sampling room roof 1, a sampling room body 2, a sampling room door 3 and a sampling room floor 4, and a self-service machine 5 is arranged inside the sampling room body 2.

[0039] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The self-service machine 5 is provided with an inclined table in the middle, which is inclined downward, and a specimen container outlet 13 is provided on the left side of the inclined table, and a specimen container inlet 14 is provided on the right side of the inclined table, which conforms to the left-handed operation habits of most people. After holding a clean specimen container for sampling with the left hand, the specimen container is placed into the specimen container inlet 14 with the right hand. An ID card scanning area 15 is provided on the inclined table near the specimen container inlet 14, a display screen 9 is provided above the inclined table, and an information receipt sticker outlet 10 is provided on the left side between the inclined table and the display screen 9.

[0040] See also Figure 5 and Fig.11A container ejection device is provided on the left side of the lower part of the self-service machine 5, an upper transmission tube 16 is provided between the specimen container outlet 13 and the container ejection device, the upper transmission tube 16 is in a vertical direction, the container ejection device comprises a horizontal lead screw 17, a turntable 19 and a vertical push rod 21, the linear displacement block of the horizontal lead screw 17 is vertically connected to a support shaft 18, the top of the support shaft 18 is connected to a turntable 19 that can rotate around the support shaft 18, the bottom of the turntable 19 is connected to a turntable stepper motor 20, the turntable stepper motor 20 is installed on the support shaft 18, the turntable 19 is provided with a plurality of container storage holes, the upper transmission tube 16 is coaxial with the vertical push rod 21, the turntable 19 is located between the upper transmission tube 16 and the vertical push rod 21, the vertical push rod 21 is connected to the linear displacement block of the vertical lead screw 22, and the horizontal lead screw 17 and the vertical lead screw 22 are both driven by a lead screw stepper motor. The vertical lead screw 22 is used to drive the vertical push rod 21 to move up and down, so that the specimen container stored in the container storage hole of the turntable 19 can be pushed upward and sent to the specimen container outlet 13 through the upper transmission tube 16 for the user to take. The horizontal lead screw 17 and the turntable stepper motor 20 are used to adjust the turntable 19 so that the container storage hole of the turntable 19 is aligned with the axis of the upper transmission tube 16 and the vertical push rod 21 in turn, waiting for the vertical push rod 21 to push the specimen container in the container storage hole upward.

[0041] See also Figures 6 to 10 Specifically, the horizontal screw 17 has the same structure as the vertical screw 22, and contains a drive motor that can drive the stud to rotate. Figure 6 It can be seen that the linear displacement block is inserted on the stud. As a general method to achieve linear displacement, the linear displacement block also needs to be inserted with an auxiliary rod, which is parallel to the stud. When the stud rotates, the linear displacement block can achieve linear displacement without spinning in place. The forward and reverse rotation of the stud corresponds to the two displacement directions of the linear displacement block. Similarly, the vertical lead screw 22 can realize the up and down movement of the vertical push rod 21. Figure 5 It can be seen that the horizontal lead screw 17 is used to drive the turntable 19 to translate in the horizontal direction, so that the container storage holes inside and outside the turntable 19 can be aligned with the lower transmission tube 23. It is worth noting that the horizontal lead screw 17 and the turntable stepper motor 20 need to cooperate to adjust the turntable 19 to achieve precise alignment operation. This can be designed according to the layout of the container storage holes and the translation distance of the turntable 19. The parameters for switching to different container storage holes include the translation distance of the horizontal lead screw 17 each time and the rotation angle of the turntable stepper motor 20. More specifically, we can achieve the connection between the turntable stepper motor 20 and the turntable 19 by selecting a gear with a suitable transmission ratio. See Figure 5 and Figure 8The relatively simple part is to use the vertical lead screw 22 to realize the up and down movement of the vertical push rod 21. It only needs to set a suitable stroke to push the specimen container 14 upward and finally reach the specimen container outlet 13. Fig. 9 In the case, since the diameter of the top cover of the specimen container is relatively large, only the main body portion enters the container storage hole, which also ensures that the specimen container can smoothly enter the container storage hole without slipping when being received.

[0042] For further information, see Figure 7 The container receiving device is provided at the right side of the lower part of the self-service machine 5. A lower transmission tube 23 is provided between the specimen container inlet 14 and the container receiving device. The lower transmission tube 23 is in a vertical direction. The container receiving device includes a horizontal lead screw 17, a support shaft 18, a turntable 19 and a turntable stepping motor 20 having the same structure as the corresponding components in the container pushing device. The lower transmission tube 23 points to the storage hole of the turntable 19. The functions of the container receiving device and the container pushing device are mutually reversed. When the user puts the specimen container into the specimen container inlet 14, the specimen container reaches the turntable 19 of the container receiving device through the lower transmission tube 23 under the action of gravity. The specimen container naturally falls into the container storage hole of the turntable 19. Similarly, the horizontal lead screw 17 and the turntable stepping motor 20 of the container receiving device are used to adjust the turntable 19 so that the container storage hole of the turntable 19 is aligned with the axis of the lower transmission tube 23 in turn, waiting for the specimen container to fall into the empty container storage hole.

[0043] See also Fig.10 As a preferred embodiment, in the above-mentioned intelligent respiratory specimen self-service sampling device, the support shaft 18 is connected to the turntable 19 through the bearing 24. When taking the turntable 19, the turntable 19 is lifted upward to separate it from the bearing 24. Preferably, the upper transmission tube 16 and the lower transmission tube 23 are telescopic tubes, which facilitates the upward lifting of the turntable 19.

[0044] In this embodiment, the upper transmission tube 16 and the lower transmission tube 23 serve as transmission channels for the sample container, which can not only ensure that the specimen container can smoothly enter and exit the container storage hole, but also isolate it from external contamination.

[0045] See also Figure 4 In order to make the self-service machine 5 have a certain sterilization function and lighting effect, a sterilization and lighting lamp 12 is arranged on the top of the self-service machine 5.

[0046] See also Figure 3 A camera 7 is arranged above the display screen 9, and double-sided stereo sound players 8 are arranged on the left and right sides of the display screen 9, which can help users to quickly understand and operate, and take into account the hearing-impaired people; in order to facilitate the inspection, maintenance and disinfection of the self-service machine 5, an equipment inspection door 11 is installed at the bottom of the self-service machine 5.

[0047] See also Figure 2 Furthermore, a disinfection spray container 6 is provided on the roof 1 of the sampling room.

[0048] See also Figure 1 The sampling chamber body 2 is a tempered glass structure, and the material property is visible but not clear. It prevents emergencies and protects personal privacy, and has an isolation effect from the outside.

[0049] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the design details of the self-service machine 5 are described as follows: the ID card scanning area 15 is located on the right side, which is convenient for users to take the ID card for scanning. The table top is an inclined table top, and the ID card cannot be placed on the table top. The information receipt sticker outlet 10 is located on the left side. After the scanning is completed, the left hand takes the receipt and the right hand takes the ID card, which is more convenient and quick. At the same time, the line of sight is transferred to the screen to follow the prompts for the next step. More specifically, baffles can be installed at the specimen container outlet 13 and the specimen container inlet 14 respectively. After the information receipt sticker outlet 10 detects that the receipt has been taken away, the information is received by the control center, and the specimen container outlet 13 is controlled to push out the specimen container, and the user can take out the specimen container. After the sampling is sealed and the sticker is affixed, the specimen container is placed upright from the specimen container inlet 14 on the right hand side. The specific baffle can be selected to be reboundable, which will not be described in detail.

[0050] When the user enters the sampling room, the camera 7 detects that someone has entered, and will give voice prompts through the double-sided stereo sound player 8 to follow the steps. When the device is operated normally, the voice and screen will prompt the operation steps synchronously, and remind the user to keep personal belongings; after the identity information verification is completed, the personal information will automatically pop up from the information receipt sticker outlet 10; after the information receipt sticker outlet 10 detects that the receipt has been taken away, the voice and screen will prompt to take away the specimen container. When sampling, the screen will display an animation to guide the user on how to correctly retain the specimen and paste the sticker. After the user has retained the specimen, put it into the specimen container entrance 14. Finally, the device will prompt the user that the specimen has been successfully retained, please take personal belongings before leaving, and disinfection and sterilization will be carried out in one minute. The staff can take out the retained specimens at regular intervals and conduct testing and processing.

[0051] Through the scheme of this embodiment, when a user enters the sampling room, he can scan his ID card information, print an information receipt, and collect a container for collecting specimens. He can collect specimens according to the system prompts. After the user leaves, the sampling room will be automatically disinfected and sterilized, which can effectively control environmental pollution and cross-infection of users; the container ejection device is separated from the container receiving device, which not only allows a large number of specimen containers to be stored, but also reduces the burden of replacement for staff, and further avoids container contamination; the designed closed sampling environment can avoid or reduce the spread of pathogens and infection of others; the sterilization and lighting lamps 12 enable the self-service machine 5 to have certain sterilization functions and lighting effects; the camera 7 is used to record the user's operation process, and the double-sided stereo sound player 8 can help the user to quickly understand and operate, and also take care of the hearing-impaired; the sampling room roof 1 is provided with a disinfection spray container 6, which is disinfected and sterilized between two uses, which can effectively control environmental pollution and cross-infection of users; the sampling room body is made of frosted tempered glass, which can prevent emergencies and protect personal privacy.
