Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a sample injection device for manual Westergren's sedimentation rate measurement. Background Art
[0002] Traditional manual sampling of Westergren's ESR samples is mostly done manually, and the operation process mainly includes manually mixing the specimen, placing the Westergren's ESR tube into the specimen, and using an ear bulb at the upper end to generate negative pressure to suck the specimen. The amount of the specimen is controlled by manual feel, and the control scale line is at 0 mm. The accuracy is confirmed manually, but this operation method causes too large an error in the amount of the sample taken out, and the manual sampling process is controlled by the negative pressure generated by the ear bulb. Excessive negative pressure causes more sample to enter the ear bulb, even exceeding the ESR tube, causing contamination. Insufficient negative pressure means insufficient sample volume, and the sample in the ESR tube needs to be squeezed out and re-sampled, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a sample injection device for manual Westergren's sedimentation rate, including: an erythrocyte sedimentation tube positioning unit 1, a negative pressure unit and a shell 2; the erythrocyte sedimentation tube positioning unit is used to install an erythrocyte sedimentation tube 3, one end of which is connected to the erythrocyte sedimentation tube positioning unit; the negative pressure unit is used to generate a negative pressure corresponding to the amount of sample sucked, and the negative pressure is transmitted to the other end of the erythrocyte sedimentation tube through one end of the erythrocyte sedimentation tube connected to the positioning component to suck the sample into the erythrocyte sedimentation tube; the erythrocyte sedimentation tube is arranged on the outer wall of the shell, and the negative pressure unit is arranged inside the shell.
[0032] Install the ESR tube on the ESR tube positioning unit, turn on the negative pressure unit to generate negative pressure to suck the sample into the ESR tube, and when the sample in the ESR tube reaches the preset position, the negative pressure unit maintains the negative pressure unchanged so that the sample in the ESR tube no longer increases.
[0033] The erythrocyte sedimentation tube positioning unit includes a shell 11 and a connecting component, which is arranged in the shell. When the erythrocyte sedimentation tube is inserted into the connecting component, the connecting component is sealed and connected to the erythrocyte sedimentation tube; the connecting component includes a sealing member 13 and a pressure tube 14; the sealing member is connected to the trachea, and when the trachea is connected to the erythrocyte sedimentation tube, the sealing member seals the trachea and the erythrocyte sedimentation tube to avoid air pressure leakage; the sealing member includes a through pipe 131 and a sealing ring 132, the sealing ring is arranged along the circumference of the through pipe, the through pipe is connected to the trachea 12, the trachea is used to be connected to the negative pressure unit, when the erythrocyte sedimentation tube is inserted, the sealing ring is connected to the erythrocyte sedimentation tube and sealed, the through pipe is inserted into the erythrocyte sedimentation tube, the trachea transmits the negative pressure to the erythrocyte sedimentation tube through the through pipe, when the erythrocyte sedimentation tube is inserted into the negative pressure unit, After the sedimentation tube is sealed and connected with the trachea, the pressing tube fixes the erythrocyte sedimentation tube and the trachea relatively. The pressing tube includes an elastic pressing piece 141 and a toggle block 142. The toggle block is used to manually toggle to change the state between the pressing tube and the erythrocyte sedimentation tube. The erythrocyte sedimentation tube passes through the pressing tube. The elastic pressing piece of the pressing tube can be retracted along the radial direction of the erythrocyte sedimentation tube and connected to the erythrocyte sedimentation tube so that the position of the erythrocyte sedimentation tube, the sealing member and the trachea are relatively fixed; the shell is provided with a sealing member chamber 112 and an erythrocyte sedimentation tube insertion hole 113, and the erythrocyte sedimentation tube insertion hole and the sealing member chamber are connected; the sealing ring of the sealing member is arranged in the sealing member chamber, and when the erythrocyte sedimentation tube is inserted and connected with the sealing member, the sealing member contacts the inner wall of the sealing member chamber to provide a reverse force for the sealing member; the pressing tube is pressed along the erythrocyte sedimentation tube. The tube insertion hole is axially arranged. When the erythrocyte sedimentation tube is connected to the sealing ring, the elastic pressing piece of the pressing tube moves horizontally toward the sealing chamber, and the elastic pressing piece contracts radially to connect with the erythrocyte sedimentation tube, so that the pressing tube and the erythrocyte sedimentation tube are relatively fixed, and the erythrocyte sedimentation tube and the sealing ring are relatively fixed. When the erythrocyte sedimentation tube is separated from the sealing ring, the elastic pressing piece of the pressing tube moves horizontally away from the sealing chamber, and the elastic pressing piece opens radially to separate the pressing tube from the erythrocyte sedimentation tube. The erythrocyte sedimentation tube insertion hole includes a large end and a small end, and the erythrocyte sedimentation tube insertion hole is in a truncated cone shape, wherein the small end is connected to the sealing chamber, and when the elastic pressing piece of the pressing tube moves horizontally toward the sealing chamber, the elastic pressing piece is increased by the force of the inner wall of the erythrocyte sedimentation tube when the erythrocyte sedimentation tube insertion hole gradually shrinks. The ESRT tube is radially folded and connected to the ESRT tube. When the elastic pressing piece of the pressing tube moves away from the sealing chamber, the elastic pressing piece is reduced by the force of the inner wall of the ESRT tube, and the elastic pressing piece opens radially to separate the ESRT tube from the sealing ring. The ESRT tube positioning unit also includes a connecting rod 15, which connects the sealing element and the pressing tube. The sealing element can move horizontally in the sealing chamber. When the ESRT tube is inserted and contacts the sealing element and moves horizontally, the connecting rod drives the pressing tube to move horizontally so that the elastic pressing piece of the pressing tube moves horizontally toward the sealing chamber. The elastic pressing piece is radially folded and connected to the ESRT tube, avoiding the need to seal the ESRT tube against the sealing element while pressing the pressing tube toward the sealing chamber to connect the ESRT tube during manual operation. The housing is provided with a connecting rod sliding hole 111 and a trachea insertion hole 114. The trachea insertion hole is provided on the other side of the sealing chamber relative to the ESRT tube insertion hole. The connecting rod is inserted into the connecting rod sliding hole to make the structure more compact.
[0034] The negative pressure unit includes a controller, a negative pressure buffer cavity, a micro vacuum pump and a sensor 4, wherein the sensor is used to detect whether the sample volume in the erythrocyte sedimentation tube has reached a preset value and generate a signal that the preset value has been reached; the controller collects the signal of the sensor reaching the preset value, controls the micro vacuum pump and the negative pressure buffer cavity to stop increasing the negative pressure, and stops the sample volume in the erythrocyte sedimentation tube from increasing, wherein the parameter used by the micro vacuum pump is 10-25ml / min. The specific working process is to press the start button, the micro vacuum pump starts to work, and the peristaltic characteristics of the micro vacuum pump are equalized after being buffered by the negative pressure buffer cavity, and then act on the Wei's erythrocyte sedimentation tube. The sample slowly rises to the sensor position under the action of negative pressure. When the sensor position detects the blood sample, the micro vacuum pump stops working and the sample injection ends. The negative pressure unit may include a controller, a negative pressure buffer chamber and a micro vacuum pump. The controller can receive parameters for controlling the sample injection volume, such as time parameters and injection volume parameters. The working states of the micro vacuum pump and the negative pressure buffer chamber are determined by the injection volume parameters and time parameters, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing sensors. The sample injection volume can also be adjusted according to parameter changes.
