[0037] Now, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment of the sampling device.

[0039] A sampling device includes a sampling transport mechanism and a sampling mechanism. The sampling transport mechanism drives a conveyor belt body to be transported along the length direction of a conveyor belt body 310. The conveyor belt body 310 is pre-installed with a plurality of throat test sub-sampling bodies 320 isolated along the length direction. The sampling mechanism includes a sampling table 200 with a sampling port 201. The sampling transport mechanism drives the conveyor belt body 310 to pass the throat test sub-sampling bodies 320 through the sampling port 201 in sequence.

[0040] Specifically, the sampling and transporting mechanism drives the conveyor belt body 310 to transport and pass through a specific position, such as the sampling port 201 of the sampling platform 200. When the conveyor belt body 310 passes through the sampling port 201, the sampling and transporting mechanism stops the movement of the conveyor belt body 310, so that a throat test sub-sampling body 320 on the conveyor belt body 310 stays on the sampling port 201. After the sampling is completed at the sampling port 201, the sampling and transporting mechanism drives the conveyor belt body 310 to transport again, and transports the subsequent unused throat test sub-sampling bodies 320 to the sampling port 201 in sequence.

[0041] In one embodiment, and with reference to Figure 4 , the throat test sub-sampling body 320 includes a sampling seat 321 and a sampling rod 322, wherein the conveyor belt body 310 is provided with a plurality of installation areas along the length direction, the sampling rod 322 is fixedly arranged in the corresponding installation area through the sampling seat 321, the encapsulation layer is covered and arranged on the corresponding installation area, the throat test sub-sampling body 320 is arranged between the conveyor belt body 310 and the encapsulation layer, the encapsulation layer includes a disassembly surface, and the throat test sub-sampling body 320 is arranged at a position corresponding to the disassembly surface; or, the encapsulation layer can be removed and arranged on the conveyor belt body 310 to expose the sampling. The encapsulation layer not only has the function of encapsulating the throat test sub-sampling body 320, isolating the throat test sub-sampling body 320 from the outside world to ensure the hygiene of the throat test sub-sampling body 320, but also the encapsulation layer can be removed by itself or by setting a disassembly structure to expose the throat test sub-sampling body 320 to the outside, so as to facilitate the user to perform throat swab sampling. Among them, the encapsulation layer can be manually removed by the user, or automatically removed by a machine.

[0042] In another embodiment, the sampling mechanism further includes a chin support platform provided at the sampling port 201, and the chin support platform is provided at the lower edge of the sampling port 201. When the user takes a sample at the sampling port 201, the user places the chin on the chin support platform, which facilitates accurate oral collection and positioning of the oral and facial area of ​​the sampler. The encapsulation layer uses standard coated paper, which, on the one hand, protects the throat swab throat test sub-sampling body 320 after ethylene oxide disinfection, and on the other hand, is used as a protective layer at the chin support platform to improve the safety during detection.

[0043] In another embodiment, and with reference to Figure 1 The sampling device also includes a second camera 111 and a face recognition module, and the face recognition module performs face recognition through the face information obtained by the second camera 111. The identity of the user can be identified by the visual portrait acquisition system, or by the QR code displayed on the mobile phone. Of course, the two can be used in combination. Among them, the QR code displayed on the user's mobile phone will be data-bound with the throat test sub-sampling body 320 and the recovery bottle 531 used. Among them, a display screen 112 can also be set to display user information and verify information.

[0044] After the user performs facial recognition and / or mobile phone QR code recognition, a disposable sampling stick 322 and a sample bottle are allocated to perform unique binding of the identification.

[0045] In one embodiment, the sampling device also includes a medical waste storage bin. The conveyor belt body 310 transported back from the sampling transportation mechanism is placed in the medical waste storage bin for storage after packaging. The sampling transportation mechanism can directly transport the conveyor belt body 310 to the medical waste storage bin, or it can be transported to a location and then transported to the medical waste storage bin using third-party equipment. The wound conveyor belt body 310 can also be manually transported to the medical waste storage bin. The medical waste storage bin has an isolation function. Each time the medical waste storage bin is opened and closed, it needs to be disinfected to prevent air condensation viruses from being infected.

[0046] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment of the throat test sampling drive mechanism.

[0047] The throat test sampling body 320 is a hollow structure, preferably the sampling rod 322 is a hollow structure, and the conveyor belt body 310 includes an operation reserved hole 312 connected to the hollow structure; the sampling device also includes a throat test sampling drive mechanism, and the driving end of the throat test sampling drive mechanism extends into the hollow structure of the throat test sampling body 320 through the operation reserved hole 312 to drive the throat test sampling body 320 sampling operation. In actual work, when the user removes the encapsulation layer and exposes the throat test sampling body 320, the mouth can be brought close and the throat test sampling body 320 can be extended into the mouth. At this time, the driving end of the throat test sampling drive mechanism drives the throat test sampling body 320 to move, such as telescopic movement or three-dimensional movement, to obtain sampling samples from the posterior pharyngeal wall, tonsil crypt or side wall, etc., to achieve effective sampling and improve the qualified rate of the sampled samples. Among them, the throat test sampling body 320 can also be a solid structure.

[0048] In one embodiment, and with reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The throat test sampling drive mechanism includes a three-dimensional pneumatic soft-mechanical linkage module and a moving structure. The moving structure drives the three-dimensional pneumatic soft-mechanical linkage module to move and pass through the operation reserved hole 312 to extend into the throat test sampling body 320. The three-dimensional pneumatic soft-mechanical linkage module drives the throat test sampling body 320 to perform three-dimensional movement. The moving structure controls the three-dimensional pneumatic soft-mechanical linkage module to move and pass through the operation reserved hole 312 to enter the sampling rod 322, so that the end of the three-dimensional pneumatic soft-mechanical linkage module is against the end of the sampling rod 322, and the sampling rod 322 can be controlled to move three-dimensionally in the user's mouth to obtain sampling samples from the posterior pharyngeal wall, tonsil crypts, side walls and other parts, so as to achieve effective sampling and improve the qualified rate of the sampled samples.

[0049] The three-dimensional pneumatic software-mechanical linkage module is used to make real-time force and position adjustments, and precise force feedback technology is used to ensure that the throat test sub-sampling body 320 stops moving after hitting the posterior pharyngeal wall and collects enough samples in time.

[0050] In another embodiment, the three-dimensional pneumatic software mechanical linkage module includes a probe body 410 and a three-dimensional pneumatic clamping software 420. The three-dimensional pneumatic clamping software 420 is connected to the mobile structure and the probe body 410 respectively, and the three-dimensional pneumatic clamping software 420 drives the probe body 410 to perform three-dimensional movement. The three-dimensional pneumatic clamping software 420 fixes the probe body on the one hand, and drives the probe body 410 to swing at various angles, such as up and down, left and right, etc., so that the probe body 410 can drive the sampling rod 322 to move without dead angles within the range of the moving space, and the moving distance and collision force are controllable.

[0051] In another embodiment, the mobile structure includes a base 450, a track 451 arranged on the base 450, and a slider 440 arranged on the track 451, and the three-dimensional pneumatic clamping software 420 of the three-dimensional pneumatic software mechanical linkage module is arranged on the slider 440, and the movement of the slider 440 drives the three-dimensional pneumatic clamping software 420 to move, thereby driving the probe body 410 to move forward and backward. In the actual movement process, the end of the probe body 410 can be driven to just abut against the end of the sampling rod 322, or the end of the probe body 410 can be driven to abut against the end of the sampling rod 322 and then move forward, so that the end of the sampling rod 322 is deformed forward to penetrate into the oral cavity. In addition, when the three-dimensional pneumatic software mechanical linkage module performs three-dimensional movement, the mobile structure can also be used to achieve three-dimensional movement in different front and rear directions. The three-dimensional pneumatic clamping software 420 realizes three-dimensional movement through multiple pipes 421, and the deformation of different pipes drives the orientation change of the overall three-dimensional pneumatic clamping software 420.

[0052] In another embodiment, and with reference to Figure 3 The conveyor body 310 is provided with a camera observation hole 311 at the throat test sub-sampling body 320, and the sampling mechanism also includes a first camera, which obtains image information of the pharynx in the oral cavity through the camera observation hole 311. A corresponding database is established, and the user's age and gender are confirmed according to the database, and the corresponding sampling depth and sampling range are selected. The first camera is then used to identify the posterior pharyngeal wall, tonsil crypts, side walls and other parts, and the throat test sub-sampling body 320 is tracked in the effective collection area. The three-dimensional pneumatic software mechanical linkage module and the mobile structure use the first camera to identify and locate the sampling area, automatically collect samples, and make real-time strength and position adjustments according to the position of the throat test sub-sampling body 320. Then, through precise force feedback technology, it is ensured that the end of the throat test sub-sampling body 320 stops moving after touching the posterior pharyngeal wall, and sufficient samples are collected in time.

[0053] Of course, the throat swab sampling drive mechanism can also be other different structures, as long as it drives the conveyor belt body 310 to realize automatic collection in the oral cavity, such as a telescopic rod structure, a swing structure, etc.

[0054] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment of the sample recovery mechanism.

[0055] The sampling device also includes a sample recovery mechanism, which includes a shearing structure 510, a recovery bottle transport structure 530 and a recovery bottle packaging structure 540. The sampling transport mechanism of the sampling device drives the conveyor belt body 310, and moves the throat test sub-sampling body 320 after passing through the sampling port 201 to the shearing structure 510. The shearing structure 510 shears the collection end of the throat test sub-sampling body 320, and the recovery bottle transport structure 530 transports the recovery bottle 531 to the recovery position to store the sheared collection end, and the recovery bottle packaging structure 540 packages the recovery bottle 531.

[0056] The shearing structure 510 shears the collection end of the throat test sub-sampling body 320, and drops it vertically or mechanically moves it to the recovery bottle 531 on the recovery bottle transport structure 530. After the throat test sub-sampling body 320 collects the user's oral sample, it is first transported by the sampling and transporting mechanism to drive the conveyor belt body 310, and the throat test sub-sampling body 320 passes through the sampling port 201 and then moves to the shearing structure 510, and the shearing structure 510 shears the collection end of the throat test sub-sampling body 320, and the shearing structure 510 shears the collection end of the throat test sub-sampling body 320 and drops it vertically or mechanically moves it to the recovery bottle 531 on the recovery bottle transport structure 530, wherein, thereby realizing the recovery of the sample, one collection end may correspond to one recovery bottle 531, or multiple collection ends may correspond to one recovery bottle 531, and after the recovery bottle 531 is packaged, the recovery bottle 531 is transported to the storage area. In order to avoid cross infection, the shearing structure 510 tries to shear the position close to the sampling seat 321, and after completing the collection of a recovery bottle 531, the shearing structure 510 needs to be disinfected and cleaned. In addition, the sheared collection end is recovered to the recovery bottle 531 in a contactless manner. Preferably, the recovery bottle 531 is set below the shearing structure 510, and the bottle mouth of the recovery bottle 531 faces upward, so that the sheared end of the sampling rod 322 can automatically fall vertically into the bottle mouth.

[0057] In one embodiment, the sample recovery mechanism further includes a recovery structure 520, and the recovery structure 520 includes a clamping part and a telescopic part, wherein the telescopic part drives the clamping part to move between the shearing structure 510 and the recovery position, and the clamping part clamps the recovery bottle 531. For example, the recovery bottle transport structure 530 drives the recovery bottle 531 to the bottom of the shearing structure 510, and the telescopic part drives the clamping part to clamp the recovery bottle 531 and rise to the collection end, and collects the collection end after shearing, and then descends to the recovery placement position 5301 of the recovery bottle transport structure 530 to achieve single or multiple recovery. Among them, the telescopic part can be a threaded telescopic structure.

[0058] In another embodiment, the recycling bottle transport structure 530 includes at least one recycling placement position 5301 arranged along the transport direction and for placing the recycling bottle 531, and the recycling bottle transport structure 530 drives the recycling placement position 5301 to pass through the recycling position corresponding to the shear structure 510 and the packaging position corresponding to the recycling bottle packaging structure 540 in sequence. Among them, the recycling bottle packaging structure 540 can cap and package the recycling bottle 531 that is transported without a packaging cap, or first remove the packaging cap of the recycling bottle 531 that drives the packaging cap, and then re-seal the packaging cap after the recycling bottle 531 collects a full sample. Preferably, the bottle mouth cover is rotated to open and the tightening module is automatically completed. And, driven by the recycling bottle transport structure 530, the recycling bottle 531 enters the temperature-controlled sample module warehouse for storage, waiting for medical staff to perform post-sample testing processing.

[0059] In another embodiment, the recovery bottle 531 is opened by opening the cover, and the recovery bottle packaging structure 540 realizes the opening and closing operations of the recovery bottle 531, thereby realizing the recycling and packaging of the recovery bottle 531.

[0060] In another embodiment, the sample recovery mechanism further includes a disinfection module, which sterilizes and disinfects the shear structure or the entire sample recovery mechanism after the shearing operation is completed; the disinfection module is an infrared disinfection module or a high-temperature disinfection module. That is, after each shearing is completed, the shearing position is disinfected, and the entire internal structure can also be disinfected after the recovery bottle packaging structure 540 is packaged to avoid cross infection. The infrared disinfection module performs disinfection operations by emitting infrared rays, and of course ultraviolet rays are also OK. The high-temperature disinfection module performs a bacteria elimination operation by generating an instantaneous (a high temperature state that reaches and maintains a certain period of time within a preset time) high temperature.

[0061] In another embodiment, the sampling device further includes a temperature-controlled storage bin, and the recovery bottle 531 transported back from the recovery bottle transport structure 530 is placed in the temperature-controlled storage bin for temperature control protection. The recovery bottle 531 can be directly transported to the temperature-controlled storage bin by the recovery bottle transport structure 530, or it can be transported to a designated location by the recovery bottle transport structure 530, transported by a third-party manipulator structure or a loading structure, or transported manually. The temperature-controlled storage bin is a dynamic temperature-controlled environment to ensure that the recovery bottle 531 is in a designated temperature environment.

Through the adsorption force of the negative pressure adsorption port, the throat test sub-sampling body 320 is turned inward, and the end of the throat test sub-sampling body 320 is retracted into the conveyor belt body 310, so as to protect the sample and avoid contamination during subsequent transportation, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the sample.

[0064] In one embodiment, the medical waste treatment system transmits the pre-packaged tape of the cut throat swab throat test sub-sampling body 320 outside the air-filtered positive pressure area of ​​the machine to the medical waste treatment module box for rewinding into a roll or packaging, waiting for medical staff to perform post-processing of the medical waste.

The main function of the lifting mechanism is to timely adjust the height of the sampling mechanism relative to the support body according to the height of the user, such as the height of the standing or sitting height, so as to ensure that the sampling port 201 of the sampling mechanism can be flush with the user's mouth or slightly lower than the user's mouth, thereby improving the comfort of the user when using it and improving the applicability of the sampling mechanism.
