Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of sampling devices, and particularly relates to a convenient feces and urine sample sampling and temporary storage device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Collecting and testing feces and urine is a routine examination method in hospitals. Feces testing can help understand whether the digestive tract is infected by bacteria, viruses and parasites, and help discover gastrointestinal inflammation and liver disease as soon as possible. Feces testing can also be used for screening and diagnosis of digestive tract tumors. Urine testing includes routine analysis, detection of formed elements (such as red blood cells and white blood cells) in urine, quantitative determination of protein components, and determination of urine enzymes. Urine testing has a very important value for clinical diagnosis, judgment of curative effect and prognosis. Before examination, feces and urine samples of patients must be collected, and the collection process is usually completed by the patients themselves.
[0003] When collecting feces, a feces cup is used, and when collecting urine, a urine testing cup is used. After the collection is completed, the patient may accidentally or due to hand shaking cause the cup to be unstable and spill the collected feces and urine samples when changing clothes. After the collection is completed, the patient usually stores the feces and urine samples in a designated position by himself, and then the medical staff collects the samples. However, since the feces cup and the urine testing cup are usually small and light, and in order to facilitate the storage of feces and urine, they are usually designed to be large at the top and small at the bottom, which is very unstable in center of gravity. This causes the patient to place the cup unstable and cause the feces and urine samples to spill, or the next patient to knock over the samples placed by the previous patient and cause the samples to spill. SUMMARY
[0004] The application aims to provide a convenient feces and urine sample sampling and temporary storage device to solve the problem that the cup of the collected feces and urine samples is easy to spill when stored.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the application provides a convenient feces and urine sample sampling and temporary storage device, which includes two supports, the supports are arranged in parallel, an upper clamping piece and a lower clamping piece are arranged between the supports, the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece are connected to the two ends of the supports on both sides, the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece are both double-layer structures in the thickness direction, a connecting belt is arranged on each of the inner side edges of the two supports, and a connecting structure is arranged on the connecting belt, which makes the length of the two connecting belts together less than the length of the lower clamping piece.
[0006] The working principle and beneficial effects of the application are as follows:
[0007] The entire structure is in the form of a sheet when not in use, which is very convenient to carry.
[0008] When the cup body collecting the feces and urine sample needs to be stored, the outer sides of the two supports are held by two fingers of one hand, and then pinched gently inward. The double-layer structure of the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece is stressed and then arches outward (if necessary, the remaining fingers can be used to control the arching direction), so that the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece are respectively enclosed into a ring shape. After the distance between the supports is reduced, the connecting belts can be connected together through the connecting structure. Since the length of the two connecting belts as a whole after being connected together is less than the length of the lower clamping piece, the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece can remain arched. Therefore, the stool cup and the urine testing cup can be clamped into the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece, respectively. When the entire device is stored on any plane, the lower edge of the entire lower clamping piece is in contact with the plane. The area enclosed by the lower edge is larger than the area of the bottom of the cup body, so that the storage is more stable, and the cup body with the collected feces and urine sample is less likely to spill after being stored.
[0009] After the connecting belts are connected, they can form a blocking effect on the cup mouth of the cup body stored in the lower clamping piece, so that the cup body stored on the lower clamping piece is more stable and less likely to spill. The bottom of the cup body stored in the upper clamping piece can also fall on the connecting belts, which is convenient for storing a cup body with a deeper depth on the upper clamping piece, and the cup body in the upper clamping piece and the cup body in the lower clamping piece can be separated by the connecting belts.
[0010] When the stool cup and the urine testing cup of one patient need to be stored at the same time, the two sample cups of the patient can be stored on the same temporary storage device, which avoids the confusion of samples of different patients by medical staff.
[0011] When only one cup body needs to be stored (either only the stool test is completed or only the urine test is completed), the cup body with the collected sample is only stored in the lower clamping piece, and the upper clamping piece can be used as a handle, which makes the operation more convenient and avoids spilling during the transfer of the cup body.
[0012] The entire structure is simple, and the cost is simple. Common hard paper, plastic sheet and other materials can be used to make it, and the cost is extremely low. It is very beneficial to make disposable products, and thus it is very beneficial to popularize and apply.
[0013] Optionally, the support, the upper clamping piece, the lower clamping piece and the connecting belts are integrally formed. The entire structure is simpler, and it is more convenient to cut and make from double-layered hard paperboard.
[0014] Optionally, the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece are both provided with inserts at both ends, and the inner side of the support is provided with insertion slots corresponding to the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece. The inserts are inserted into the insertion slots.
[0015] Optionally, the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece are both provided with clamping grooves at both ends, and the inner side of the support is clamped in the clamping grooves.
[0016] Optionally, the distance between the connecting band and the upper side of the lower clamping piece is smaller than the distance between the connecting band and the lower side of the upper clamping piece. The closer distance between the connecting band and the lower clamping piece can provide more space for the upper clamping piece to place the cup and can also facilitate the blocking of the cup opening of the cup placed in the lower clamping piece.
[0017] Optionally, the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece are provided with fold lines. The upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece can be arched into a polygon along the fold lines during the arching process, and after being placed in the circular cup, the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece can better wrap the cup to make the cup more stable on the temporary storage device.
[0018] Optionally, the temporary storage device further comprises a stabilizing wing, one end of the stabilizing wing is connected to the outer side of the lower clamping piece, and the lower side of the stabilizing wing is flush with the lower side of the lower clamping piece. The stabilizing wing can increase the contact area between the lower clamping piece and the placement plane, making the temporary storage device more stable.
[0019] Optionally, a connecting hole is formed in one of the connecting bands, and a connecting pin is formed in the other connecting band to match the connecting hole. The connecting pin is inserted into the connecting hole to connect the two connecting bands in a snap-fit manner.
[0020] Optionally, the end of one of the connecting bands is attached with double-sided tape.
[0021] Optionally, the side of the upper clamping piece or the lower clamping piece is provided with a separation piece, and the separation pieces are staggered. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0029] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:
[0030] The markings in the accompanying drawings include: bracket 1, horizontal end 101, vertical end 102, connecting strap 2, double-sided adhesive 3, connecting pin 4, connecting hole 5, upper clamping piece 6, lower clamping piece 7, dent 8, slot 9, separation piece 10, rectangular hole 11, and stabilizing wing 12.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] This embodiment presents a convenient fecal and urine specimen sampling and storage device. The entire device is made by overlapping and cutting two rectangular pieces of cardboard. The rectangular cardboard measures 8cm × 10cm × 0.1cm. After the cardboard pieces are aligned and stacked together, their long sides are glued together with a glue width of 1cm. Then, a rectangular hole of 6cm × 2.5cm and a rectangular hole of 6cm × 0.5cm are cut into the cardboard. The long sides of the two rectangular holes are parallel to the wide sides of the cardboard, and the distance between the two rectangular holes is 0.5cm. The distance from each side of the rectangular hole to the long side of the cardboard is 1cm. This forms a 2cm wide upper clip and a 4cm wide lower clip on both sides of the wide side of the cardboard, and the glued cardboard portion forms a support. The cardboard portion located between the two rectangular holes is cut in the middle to form two connecting straps. Double-sided tape is attached to the outer side of one of the connecting straps. Insert two wires 2cm apart between the upper and lower clips, and 4cm away from the long sides of the cardboard. Press firmly on the cardboard sections with the wires inserted; this will create two parallel indentations on the inner sides of the upper and lower clips, forming fold lines. A schematic diagram of the entire temporary storage device before use is attached. Figure 1 As shown.
[0033] Due to the presence of indentations within the upper and lower clips, as shown in the attached... Figure 2 When pinching the supports on both sides as shown, both the upper and lower clips tend to arch outwards. Slightly pinching inwards will allow them to arch into a regular hexagon. At this point, the free ends of the two connecting straps overlap, allowing them to be glued together with double-sided tape. After gluing, the upper and lower clips will maintain their hexagonal shape, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 As shown, the stool cup and urine cup can be inserted into the hexagon for temporary storage. The cup body and the mouth of the cup usually have an outwardly extending edge that can abut against the upper edge of the upper and lower clips, which can prevent the cup body from sliding down in the temporary storage device.
[0034] Example Two
[0035] The difference between this example and Example One is that, as shown in Figure 4 the figure, the dents are pressed on the outside of the upper and lower clamping pieces with iron wires. In this way, the iron wires do not need to be inserted between the cardboard during processing, and the processing is easier. When cutting the rectangular hole near the upper clamping piece, two semicircular notches are reserved on the side near the upper clamping piece, and the two notches are staggered, thereby forming two separate pieces integrally on the lower side of the upper clamping piece. When pinching the support, two fingers of the other hand are respectively placed on the two separate pieces and slightly force the two outer sides of the upper clamping piece, so that the upper clamping piece has a tendency to arch outward. Since the entire structure is integral, the lower clamping piece also has a tendency to arch outward. By continuing to pinch inward, the upper and lower clamping pieces can be arched into a hexagon.
[0036] Example Three
[0037] The difference between this example and Example One is that it also includes stabilizing wings. The stabilizing wings are made of the material cut when cutting a larger rectangular hole, and the two layers of the cardboard are separated, i.e., two stabilizing wings. Then the two stabilizing wings are respectively arranged on the two sides of the lower clamping piece. One end of the stabilizing wing is bonded to the outer side of the lower clamping piece, and the lower side of the stabilizing wing is flush with the lower side of the lower clamping piece. When in use, the stabilizing wings are folded outward, as shown in Figure 5 the figure, which can increase the lateral contact area of the entire device, thereby allowing the entire temporary storage device to be placed more stably.
[0038] Example Four
[0039] A convenient feces and urine sample sampling and temporary storage device in this example, as shown in Figure 6As shown, each bracket is made of two pieces of T-shaped cardboard, but the two ends of the bracket are not bonded, leaving a 2 cm and 4 cm gap respectively, which forms the insertion slot, and the vertical end of the bracket is the connecting band. The end of one connecting band is punched with a round connecting hole, and the end of the other connecting band is bonded with a cylindrical connecting pin, and the insertion slot is located on both sides of the connecting band. The number of brackets is two. The upper clamping piece is composed of two pieces of 8 cm x 2 cm x 0.05 cm flexible transparent plastic sheet, and the two ends are bonded for 1 cm, which forms the insertion piece inserted into the 2 cm wide insertion slot of the bracket. The lower clamping piece is the same as the lower clamping piece in material, structure and manufacturing method, except that the width of the lower clamping piece is 4 cm, and the two ends of the upper clamping piece are inserted into the 4 cm insertion slot. Compared with Example One, the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece can be made of transparent material, which is convenient for the inspector to see the substance contained in the cup through the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece, and it is convenient to distinguish directly before the cup is taken out, which improves the work efficiency of the inspector. The form of the connecting pin and the connecting hole is connected, which is better than using double-sided adhesive to connect, has good repeatability, makes the whole temporary storage device reusable, and is easier to open the connecting band and take out the cup in the lower clamping piece.
[0040] Example Five
[0041] A convenient fecal and urine specimen sampling and temporary storage device is provided in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 As shown, the number of brackets is two, and each bracket is composed of a piece of T-shaped cardboard. The vertical end of the bracket is the connecting band, and the end of one connecting band is pasted with double-sided adhesive. The upper clamping piece is composed of two pieces of 6 cm x 2 cm x 0.03 cm flexible transparent plastic sheet, and the two ends are bonded to the bottom edge of a clamping groove, and the two sides of the clamping groove are concave inward and abut. The clamping groove is made of iron sheet. The lower clamping piece is the same as the lower clamping piece in material, structure and manufacturing method, except that the width of the lower clamping piece is 4 cm. The vertical ends of the two brackets are arranged opposite to each other, and the clamping grooves on both sides of the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece are clamped to the two ends of the horizontal end of the bracket. Compared with Example Four, the structure of this embodiment is simpler and more convenient to process.
