Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a dropper device for closed detection and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] A dropper device is a device that extrudes liquid from the inside of a tube body. It is widely used in medical testing, especially an essential medical device for virus detection. For example, in the patent with the publication number CN 214974114 U, the patent includes a dropper tip and a tube body. The dropper tip is inserted into the tube body, and then the whole structure is inverted. Part of the liquid will enter the liquid storage cavity, and the remaining liquid is discharged from the liquid outlet tube. In this way, a part of the liquid can be stored in the liquid storage cavity to reasonably control the volume of the discharged liquid. However, in this structure, when the whole structure is inverted and the liquid is discharged downward, if it is not placed horizontally, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity will tilt and be discharged from the liquid outlet tube, so that the volume of the discharged liquid increases. Once the volume of the liquid needs to be accurately controlled, it will be inconvenient to use. Generally, the most comfortable way for the operator is to invert the whole structure at a certain inclination angle and then squeeze out the liquid. However, now it is necessary to keep it vertical, which increases the inconvenience for the operator. In addition, when it is not necessary to reduce the volume of the discharged liquid and it is necessary to discharge all the liquid in batches for multiple detections, the liquid entering the liquid storage cavity is not easy to discharge when the device is inverted, so the flexibility of use is reduced.
