Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sample processing technology, and in particular to a gynecological examination sample processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Gynecology is a specialized department that diagnoses and treats gynecological diseases in women. A routine vaginal discharge examination is a common gynecological examination and a physical examination related to women's physiological hygiene. During the vaginal discharge examination, the outpatient doctor usually takes a sample of the vaginal discharge with a cotton swab and then sends it to the laboratory for testing. The sample needs to be processed before testing.

[0003] Among existing gynecological examination sample processing equipment, such as Chinese patent with publication number CN114563245A, a gynecological examination sample processing device is disclosed. Specifically, multiple stacked glass slides are automatically fed by a carrier slide feeding mechanism, and then adsorbed and fixed by a buffer ring and a vacuum suction cup. Then, the glass stage is moved to the bottom of the sample holding cylinder by a lateral pushing mechanism to prepare the sample. With the help of a sealing plate, the sample will not be infected during the moving sample preparation process, which improves the accuracy of sample preparation and sample quality.

[0004] While the aforementioned existing technologies can also perform sample testing, firstly, they typically require manual mixing of the samples, resulting in poor mixing and uneven sample preparation due to the samples easily coming into contact with the inner wall of the sampling tube. Secondly, the existing technologies cannot accurately move the samples at multiple angles during mixing, preventing complete dissolution in the saline solution and hindering subsequent testing. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the existing gynecological examination sample processing equipment. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a gynecological examination sample processing device, which can accurately prepare and mix gynecological examination samples, facilitating accurate subsequent testing of the samples.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, a gynecological examination sample processing device includes a base frame 1, which has a rectangular structure; a fixing frame 2, which is installed on the upper end of the base frame 1 and has a cylindrical structure, with placement slots evenly arranged on the fixing frame 2 for holding sampling test tubes, and a through groove in the middle of the fixing frame 2; a lifting component 3, which is installed in the through groove in the middle of the fixing frame 2; and a fixing component 4, which is installed on the upper end of the lifting component 3 and is used to fix the sample and move up and down synchronously with the lifting component 3.

[0028] In the above technical solution, the end of the gynecological examination sample after sampling is inserted into the fixing component 4 so that the sample is facing down. Then, the sampling tube is placed inside the placement groove, and a certain amount of physiological saline is injected into the sampling tube. The lifting component 3 drives the examination sample to be inserted into the sampling tube, and the fixing component 4 drives the examination sample to be fully mixed with the physiological saline, so that the sample is completely mixed in the physiological saline, which facilitates the subsequent examination of the sample.

[0029] See Figure 3 As shown, in this preferred embodiment, the lifting assembly 3 includes a fixed tube 31, a lifting sleeve 32, a piston plate 33, and an ejection mechanism 34. The fixed tube 31 is installed at the lower end of the middle of the fixed frame 2, the lifting sleeve 32 is provided in the middle of the fixed frame 2, a hydraulic chamber is provided in the middle of the lifting sleeve 32, the piston plate 33 is installed at the lower end of the hydraulic chamber, the lower end of the piston plate 33 is connected to the fixed tube 31, and the ejection mechanism 34 is installed inside the fixed frame 2, the middle of the ejection mechanism 34 is slidably connected to the fixed tube 31.

[0030] In the above technical solution, when the gynecological examination sample is evenly installed on the upper end of the fixed component 4, the lifting sleeve 32 can drive the sample to move up and down, so that the sample can accurately enter the sampling tube, which facilitates the uniform mixing of the sample and physiological saline and avoids uneven mixing caused by manual operation. At the same time, when the lifting sleeve 32 descends to the lowest point, the lifting sleeve 32 squeezes the ejection mechanism 34, so that the sampling tube can descend to the deepest part of the placement groove. Meanwhile, the sample can always remain vertical during the rising and falling process, so that the sample will not touch the inner wall of the sampling tube and avoid sample loss. When the lifting sleeve 32 rises, the lifting sleeve 32 separates from the ejection mechanism 34, and the ejection mechanism 34 drives the sampling tube to rise upward, which is conducive to the subsequent removal of the sampling tube.

[0031] See Figure 3 As shown, in this preferred embodiment, the middle part of the fixed tube 31 is hollow, and the lower end of the fixed tube 31 is provided with a liquid inlet, which is connected to the hydraulic pump.

[0032] In the above technical solution, when the hydraulic pump is working, the hydraulic pump drives the hydraulic oil to enter the fixed tube 31 through the inlet. When the hydraulic oil is continuously flowing in, the hydraulic oil drives the lifting sleeve 32 to rise, so that the lifting sleeve 32 can accurately separate the sample from the sampling tube. The hydraulic pump can accurately control the up and down adjustment of the lifting sleeve 32.

[0033] See Figure 3 As shown, in this preferred embodiment, the ejection mechanism 34 includes a sliding ring 341, a connecting rod 342, a telescopic spring 343, and a fixed seat 344. The lower end of the fixed tube 31 is fitted with a sliding ring 341. A connecting groove is provided between the through groove in the middle of the fixed frame 2 and the placement groove. The connecting rod 342 is provided in the connecting groove. The telescopic spring 343 is provided between the upper end of the connecting rod 342 and the connecting groove. The lower end of the placement groove is provided with a fixed seat 344. The fixed seat 344 is connected to the outer end of the connecting rod 342. The upper end of the fixed seat 344 has an arc-shaped structure.

[0034] In the above technical solution, when the lifting sleeve 32 moves downward to squeeze the sliding ring 341, the sliding ring 341 drives the fixed seat 344 to move downward synchronously, so that the sampling tube inside the placement groove can move to the lowest point, which is convenient for the sample to react fully with the saline. When the lifting sleeve 32 rises, the telescopic spring 343 drives the fixed seat 344 to reset, so that the sampling tube can be lifted up, which is convenient for the sampling tube to be taken out.

[0035] See Figure 4-6 As shown, in this preferred embodiment, the fixing component 4 includes a fixing bracket 41, a driving mechanism 42, a rotation mechanism 43, a swaying mechanism 44, and a sealing plate 45. The upper end of the lifting component 3 is equipped with a fixing bracket 41, which has a hollow upper end. The driving mechanism 42 is installed in the middle of the upper end of the fixing bracket 41. The rotation mechanism 43 is evenly installed on the upper end of the fixing bracket 41 and meshes with the driving mechanism 42. The swaying mechanism 44 is evenly installed on the lower end of the fixing bracket 41 and is connected to the rotation mechanism 43. The sealing plate 45 is detachably installed on the upper end of the fixing bracket 41.

[0036] In the above technical solution, the sample is installed in the middle of the rotating mechanism 43. When the driving mechanism 42 works, the driving mechanism 42 drives the sample to rotate through the rotating mechanism 43. At the same time, the shaking mechanism 44 can drive the sample to move up and down, so that the sample can be accurately mixed with physiological saline and ensure the accuracy of sample testing.

[0037] See Figure 2 As shown, as a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the drive mechanism 42 includes a drive motor 421 and a drive gear 422. The upper middle part of the lifting component 3 is provided with a slot, in which the drive motor 421 is installed. The drive gear 422 is installed in the middle of the fixed bracket 41, and the drive gear 422 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 421.

[0038] In the above technical solution, when the drive motor 421 is working, the drive motor 421 can drive the rotation mechanism 43 to move synchronously through the active gear 422, so that the sample at the lower end of the rotation mechanism 43 can be accurately mixed with physiological saline.

[0039] See Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the self-rotating mechanism 43 includes a rotating sleeve 431, a sliding sleeve 432, and a connecting gear 433. The fixed bracket 41 is provided with mounting holes evenly distributed. The rotating sleeve 431 is installed in the mounting holes through bearings. The rotating sleeve 431 is provided with a sliding groove inside. The sliding sleeve 432 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove. A clamping washer is provided in the middle of the sliding sleeve 432. The connecting gear 433 is installed on the outside of the rotating sleeve 431. The connecting gear 433 meshes with the driving gear 422.

[0040] In the above technical solution, when the active gear 422 rotates, the active gear 422 drives the rotating sleeve 431 to rotate through the connecting gear 433, so that the rotating sleeve 431 can drive the sample to rotate, which is beneficial for mixing the sample with physiological saline.

[0041] See Figure 6 As shown, in this preferred embodiment, the shaking mechanism 44 includes an annular frame 441, a connecting rod 442, and a guide groove 443. The annular frame 441 is evenly installed at the lower end of the fixed bracket 41. The annular frame 441 is coaxial with the mounting hole. The guide groove 443 is provided on the inner wall of the annular frame 441. The guide groove 443 is an inclined structure arranged in annularly. The connecting rod 442 is installed at the lower end of the sliding sleeve 432. The end of the connecting rod 442 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 443.

[0042] In the above technical solution, when the rotating sleeve 431 rotates, the sliding sleeve 432 rotates synchronously with the rotating sleeve 431. The sliding sleeve 432 can slide up and down inside the rotating sleeve 431. Through the cooperation between the connecting rod 442 and the guide groove 443, the sliding sleeve 432 can move up and down while rotating, so that the sample can rotate synchronously and move up and down. This can effectively improve the accuracy of mixing the sample with physiological saline and ensure the subsequent detection effect of the sample.

[0043] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
