[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] The male HPV virus testing sampling kit includes a sampling ring 100, a urethral swab 101, and a sampling tube 102. In use, the sampling ring 100 is placed on the penis, specifically on the coronal sulcus. The sampling ring 100 is rotated around the coronal sulcus, and then removed from the penis to complete the sampling of the coronal sulcus. The urethral swab 101 is inserted into the urethra and used to scrape the inner wall of the urethra to complete the sampling of the urethra. After sampling with the urethral swab 101, it is placed into the sampling tube 102. The sampling ring 100 is in a [position missing]. The sampling ring 100 is annular and has an inner wall. The inner wall of the sampling ring 100 is arranged inward and surrounds a sampling space 103. A sampling brush ring 104 protrudes from the sampling space 103. The sampling brush ring 104 is flat and extends circumferentially along the inner wall of the sampling ring 100. The sampling brush ring 104 is close to the coronal sulcus. As the sampling ring 100 rotates around the coronal sulcus, the sampling brush ring 104 rotates around the coronal sulcus and brushes the sample on the coronal sulcus.

[0029] The urethral swab 101 and the sampling tube 102 are both elongated. The lower part of the urethral swab 101 has a sampling section 105. After the sampling section 105 of the urethral swab 101 is inserted into the urethra, the sampling section 105 of the urethral swab 101 scrapes the inner wall of the urethra to complete the sampling of the inner wall of the urethra. The upper part of the urethral swab 101 is provided with a closed end 106. The sampling tube 102 has a cavity 107. The top of the sampling tube 102 has a cavity opening, which is connected to the cavity 107. After the urethral swab 101 completes the sampling of the inner wall of the urethra, the sampling section 105 of the urethral swab 101 is inserted into the cavity 107 through the cavity opening. The closed end 106 of the urethral swab 101 then closes the cavity opening to prevent the sampling section 105 of the urethral swab 101 from being contaminated after sampling.

[0030] The outer periphery of the sampling ring 100 is provided with two finger sleeves 109. The finger sleeves 109 have insertion openings 110. When sampling is required using the sampling ring 100, the thumb and index finger are inserted into the finger sleeves 109 through the insertion openings 110 respectively, so as to hold the sampling ring 100. The finger sleeves 109 make it easy for the user to operate the sampling ring 100.

[0031] By placing a ring-shaped sampling ring 100 on the coronal sulcus and rotating the sampling ring 100, the sampling brush ring 104 collects tissue samples from the coronal sulcus. After inserting a long strip-shaped urethral swab 101 into the urethra, the urethral swab 101 collects tissue samples from the urethra. The sampled urethral swab 101 is then placed into a sampling tube 102. The sampling tube 102 and the sampling ring 100 are then sent for testing, thus solving the problem of difficult HPV virus sampling in men in the existing technology.

[0032] The sampling ring 100 has an circumferential groove 111 extending along the circumference of the sampling ring 100. A rotating rubber ring 112 is movably fitted onto the circumferential groove 111. A finger rubber sleeve 109 is connected to the rotating rubber ring 112. The inner end of the rotating rubber ring 112 is movably embedded in the circumferential groove 111, while the outer end of the rotating rubber ring 112 is exposed outside the circumferential groove 111. The finger rubber sleeve 109 is positioned on the outer end of the rotating rubber ring 112. During the process of fitting the sampling ring 100 onto the penis, the thumb and index finger are inserted into the finger rubber sleeve 109 through the insertion opening 110, respectively. The thumb and index finger are spread to the sides, pulling the finger rubber sleeve 109 to the sides, increasing the diameter of the rotating rubber ring 112. The increase in the diameter of the rotating rubber ring 112 leads to an increase in the diameter of the sampling ring 100, thereby expanding the sampling space 103 and facilitating the fitting of the sampling ring 100 onto the penis.

[0033] The bottom of the circumferential groove 111 penetrates the inner wall of the sampling ring 100. The inner end of the rotating rubber ring 112 passes through the inner wall of the sampling ring 100 and extends into the sampling space 103. The sampling brush ring 104 is set on the inner end of the rotating rubber ring 112. During the process of the sampling ring 100 being put on the penis, the thumb and index finger are respectively inserted into the finger rubber sleeve 109 through the insertion opening 110. The thumb and index finger are spread open to the sides, and the finger rubber sleeve 109 is pulled to the sides, increasing the diameter of the rotating rubber ring 112, thereby increasing the diameter of the sampling brush ring 104, making it easier for the sampling brush ring 104 to be put on the penis.

[0034] Along the direction from the outside to the inside, the vertical width of the circumferential groove 111 gradually decreases. After the sampling ring 100 is put into the penis, the thumb and index finger inserted in the finger sleeve 109 no longer pull the rotating ring 112 to the sides. The rotating ring 112 itself is elastic. The rotating ring 112 squeezes the circumferential groove 111 inward, so that the sampling ring 100 is tightly fitted on the penis, which facilitates the sampling brush ring 104 to sample the coronal sulcus.

[0035] The sampling ring 100 is provided with a glans rubber sleeve 113. The bottom of the glans rubber sleeve 113 is fixedly connected to the top of the sampling ring 100. The glans rubber sleeve 113 is arranged opposite to the finger rubber sleeve 109. The glans rubber sleeve 113 has a glans space 114 that communicates with the sampling space 103 and is used to cover the glans. After the sampling ring 100 is put on the penis, the glans rubber sleeve 113 covers the user's glans, and the user's glans is placed in the glans space 114. The glans rubber sleeve 113 isolates the user's glans from the outside world, so as to avoid the operator accidentally touching the user's glans during the sampling of the coronal sulcus by the sampling ring 100, thus ensuring hygiene and safety during the sampling process.

[0036] The outer end of the glans sheath 113 has cross-shaped deformable notches 115. The deformable notches 115 connect to the glans space 114. During the process of putting the sampling ring 100 on the penis, the glans sheath 113 gradually moves closer to the user's glans. The user's glans gradually occupies the glans space 114. The gas in the glans space 114 is squeezed and discharged through the deformable notches 115, so as to avoid the gas in the glans space 114 from accumulating and obstructing the penis from being put on the sampling ring 100.

[0037] The glans penis sheath 113 has multiple expansion rings 116 in its middle section. These expansion rings 116 are arranged sequentially and at intervals along the direction from the inner end to the outer end of the sheath 113. When the sheath 113 is placed on the glans penis, the expansion rings 116 surround the outer periphery of the glans. During the process of placing the sampling ring 100 on the penis, the sheath 113 gradually approaches and wraps around the user's glans. The expansion rings 116 change shape according to the length of the user's glans. When the user's glans is short, the shape of the expansion rings 116 remains unchanged. When the user's glans is long, the expansion rings 116 stretch and deform outwards along the axial direction of the sheath 113, thus increasing the length of the sheath 113 to accommodate the length of the user's glans.

[0038] The male HPV virus testing sampling kit includes a connecting frame 117, which includes a ring clamping block 118 and a tube clamping block 119. After the sampling ring 100 completes sampling of the coronal sulcus, the ring clamping block 118 clamps the sampling ring 100. After the urethral swab 101 completes sampling of the urethra, it is inserted into the sampling tube 102, which is clamped by the tube clamping block 119. The ring clamping block 118 and the tube clamping block 119 are connected as one unit, and the sampling ring 100, the sampling tube 102 and the connecting frame 117 are sent for testing together.

[0039] The connecting frame 117 includes a connecting strip 120, a ring clamping block 118 and a tube clamping block 119 respectively connected to both ends of the connecting strip 120. A universal head 121 is provided in the middle of the connecting strip 120. The ring clamping block 118 and the tube clamping block 119 can swing and rotate relative to each other through the universal head 121, which facilitates the placement of the ring clamping block 118 and the tube clamping block 119.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
