[0007] The lower edge of the screw cap abuts against the paper supporting block in a movable matching manner. At least one radially inward protruding paper clamping ridge is formed on the inner wall of the screw cap. The paper clamping ridge is a vertical ridge, and the lower end of the paper clamping ridge is flush with the lower edge of the screw cap. Multiple cushion papers are installed in the screw cap;

[0008] At least one edge bayonet and at least one paper dropping notch are formed at the edge part of the cushion paper. Each cushion paper is stacked layer by layer from bottom to top, and the paper dropping notches of adjacent cushion papers are staggered from each other. The paper clamping ridges on the inner wall of the screw cap are respectively clamped into the edge bayonets of each cushion paper, so that each cushion paper can rotate following the screw cap under the push of the paper clamping ridge;

[0009] The diameter of the paper dropping notch at the edge part of the cushion paper is larger than the outer diameter of the paper supporting block, so that when the paper dropping notch of the cushion paper is vertically aligned with the paper supporting block, the paper supporting block and the cushion paper are staggered from each other, so that the cushion paper can freely fall;

[0010] The diameter of the edge bayonet at the edge part of the cushion paper is smaller than the outer diameter of the paper supporting block, so that when the edge bayonet of the cushion paper is vertically aligned with the paper supporting block, the paper supporting block can interfere with the falling of the cushion paper.

[0011] The portable sputum collection bottle provided by the present invention uses a pad of paper to protect the upper surface of the flap, which can prevent sputum from contaminating the upper surface of the flap, so that the upper surface of the flap can always remain clean. Flipping the flap can seal the pad of paper with sputum in the lower chamber of the flap, effectively preventing the spread of viruses and bacteria in the sputum. Description of the Drawings

[0017] The following further describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the description of the drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention. Any similar structures and their similar changes using the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. The commas in the present invention all represent the relationship of "and".

[0018] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, a portable sputum collection bottle provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a bottle body 1. A detachable bottle cap 2 is provided at the bottle mouth of the bottle body. It is characterized in that:

[0019] A flap 4 that can be turned up and down is provided in the inner cavity of the bottle body 1. When the flap 4 is turned to a horizontal state, the flap 4 divides the inner cavity of the bottle body into upper and lower chambers respectively. A through hole is opened on the bottle wall of the bottle body. The rotating shaft 9 of the flap extends to the outside of the bottle body through the through hole on the bottle wall. And a knob 5 is fixed to the outer end of the flap rotating shaft 9 (the end of the rotating shaft located outside the bottle body);

[0020] Two radially inwardly protruding and symmetrically arranged paper supporting blocks 6 are formed at the lower part of the inner wall of the bottle cap 2. A rotatable screw cap 3 is provided on the bottle cap;

[0021] The lower edge of the screw cap 3 abuts against the two paper supporting blocks 6 in a movable matching manner. Four radially inwardly protruding paper clamping ridges 7 are formed on the inner wall of the screw cap 3. The four paper clamping ridges are all vertical ridges, and the lower ends of the four paper clamping ridges 7 are flush with the lower edge of the screw cap 3. The four paper clamping ridges are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the screw cap. A plurality of cushion papers 8 are installed inside the screw cap;

[0022] Two symmetrically arranged edge buckles 11 and two symmetrically arranged paper dropping notches 10 are formed at the edge part of the cushion paper 8. Each cushion paper 8 is stacked layer by layer from bottom to top, and the paper dropping notches 10 of adjacent cushion papers are staggered from each other. Each paper clamping ridge 7 on the inner wall of the screw cap is respectively clamped into the edge buckles 11 of each cushion paper, so that each cushion paper 8 can rotate following the screw cap under the push of each paper clamping ridge 7;

[0023] The diameter of the paper dropping notch 10 at the edge part of the cushion paper is larger than the outer diameter of the paper supporting block 6. When the paper dropping notch 10 of the cushion paper is vertically aligned with the paper supporting block 6, the paper supporting block 6 and the cushion paper 8 are staggered from each other, so that the cushion paper can freely fall;

[0024] The diameter of the edge buckle 11 at the edge part of the cushion paper is smaller than the outer diameter of the paper supporting block 6. When the edge buckle 11 of the cushion paper is vertically aligned with the paper supporting block 6, the paper supporting block 6 can interfere with the falling of the cushion paper 8.

[0025] In other embodiments of the present invention, only one or more than two paper supporting blocks can be provided at the lower part of the inner wall of the bottle cap, and only one or more than two paper dropping notches can be provided at the edge part of the cushion paper. However, the number and the arrangement positions of the paper dropping notches and the paper supporting blocks should match each other, so that each paper supporting block can be vertically aligned with each paper dropping notch on the same cushion paper at the same time.

[0026] In other embodiments of the present invention, only one or more than two paper clamping ridges can be provided on the inner wall of the screw cap, and only one or more than two edge buckles can be provided at the edge part of the cushion paper.

[0027] The using method of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0028] When the user needs to spit, rotate the screw cap. When the paper dropping notch of the first cushion paper from the bottom is vertically aligned with the paper supporting block, the first cushion paper from the bottom can freely fall onto the flap (the initial state of the flap is flat). The paper dropping notch of the second cushion paper from the bottom is staggered from the paper dropping notch of the first cushion paper from the bottom, so it is blocked by the paper supporting block and cannot fall (after the first cushion paper from the bottom falls onto the flap, the second cushion paper from the bottom becomes the first cushion paper);

[0029] Then remove the bottle cap. The user spits the sputum onto the pad paper on the flap, reinstalls the bottle cap, and then uses the knob to drive the flap to turn to the vertical state. The pad paper with sputum can then fall to the bottom of the bottle. Then turn the flap back to the flat state, and the pad paper with sputum can be sealed in the chamber below the flap, thus effectively preventing the spread of viruses and bacteria in the sputum.
