Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cotton swab unpacking equipment, in particular to an automatic unpacking and delivering device for medical cotton swabs. Background Art

[0002] In today's society, hospitals, as an important part of the public health system, undertake a large amount of disease diagnosis and prevention work. Among them, sampling testing is one of the important means to diagnose diseases and monitor health conditions, and medical cotton swabs are key tools for sampling operations such as throat swabs and nasal swabs.

[0003] In the traditional cotton swab sampling process, medical staff need to manually remove the cotton swab from the cotton swab packaging bag. Although this step seems simple, it has become a considerable burden in the daily busy testing work of the hospital. On the one hand, due to the large number of sampling operations required every day, medical staff frequently unpack and take out cotton swabs, which is not only a heavy workload, but also repeating this action for a long time can easily cause arm soreness, affecting work efficiency and the health of medical staff. On the other hand, during the manual unpacking process, medical staff are in direct contact with the cotton swab packaging bag, and there is a risk of cross-infection. This problem is even more prominent, especially in special periods such as epidemics. Summary of the invention
