A side hole is provided on the side wall of the connecting end of the conduit and the collecting cylinder, and the free end of the first traction rope passes through the side hole and is connected to the control panel.

[0009] Preferably, a pair of guide bars are provided on the side wall of the conduit, and a movable plate is slidingly provided between the two guide bars. A side groove is also provided on the outside of the movable plate. The shape of the side groove is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the clamping ring provided on the inner wall of the conduit. A limiting ring is provided at the connection between the conduit and the collecting tube, and one side of the limiting ring is in contact with one side of the movable plate.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes multiple rotating shafts rotatably clamped on the movable plate, and a coil spring is provided at the hinge between the connecting plate and the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is evenly distributed on the movable plate, and connecting plates and clamps are respectively provided on both sides of the rotating shaft. The winding direction of the coil spring is the same as the turning direction of the clamp close to the axis of the movable plate. The clamp is arc-shaped and is set in an outward convex direction.

[0011] Preferably, the movable plate is provided with a plurality of pairs of directional plates with the same number as the rotating shafts, and the directional plates are each provided with a guide groove, and a guide block is provided for sliding in the guide groove. The two guide blocks are connected by a pressure plate, and the outer side of the connecting plate is in contact with the pressure plate.

[0012] Preferably, a second traction rope is passed through the free end of the catheter, and a plurality of connecting belts are provided at one end of the second traction rope close to the collecting tube, and one end of each connecting belt is connected to the inner side of the clamp.

[0016] The principle and beneficial effects of this technical solution:

[0017] (1) The shearing assembly provided in the present invention can seal and preserve the specimens while the device is cutting and collecting the specimens. When using the device to collect specimens, it is necessary to first use the air pump connected to one end of the catheter through the connecting hole to push the movable plate to one end of the collecting tube, and then move the collecting tube at one end of the catheter to the position of the specimen to be cut. Then the first traction rope can be pulled outward. At this time, the first traction rope will pull the control plate connected to its free end outward. Since the sliding button provided on the outer side of the control plate is slidingly clamped in the spiral groove provided on the side wall of the rotating drum, the control plate will also drive the rotating drum with the spiral groove to rotate synchronously during the sliding process between the two guide plates. Since the rotating drum is coaxially connected to the internal meshing gear, the internal meshing gear will drive all the spur gears to rotate synchronously along the fixed column connected to one end of the collecting tube during the rotation of the rotating drum. The shearing knife connected to the outer side of the spur gear will be retracted synchronously, so that the shearing knife will shear the specimen together. When the shearing is completed, the specimen will be directly stored in the collecting tube. At this time, the clamping assembly can be driven to clamp the specimen and take it out.

[0018] (2) The clamping assembly provided in the present invention can clamp the cut specimen and take it out without using negative pressure suction. When it is necessary to clamp and take out the specimen, the second traction rope passed through the free end of the catheter is pulled. At this time, the multiple connecting belts provided at one end of the second traction rope will synchronously pull the clamp to deflect inward. At this time, the clamp will clamp the specimen. At the same time, the rotating shaft where the clamp is located will drive the coil spring connected to it to contract and deflect the connecting plate provided on the outside of the rotating shaft. Since the outside of the connecting plate is in contact with the pressure plate, when the connecting plate moves, the pressure plate is no longer subjected to the thrust from the connecting plate. At this time, the pressure plate will be separated from the slot where it is located and the movement restriction of the movable plate will be released. At this time, the clamp has completed the clamping of the specimen. At the same time, the pulling force of the second traction rope will drive the movable plate to move along the guide strip on the side wall of the catheter until the specimen moves into the release cavity for specimen collection.

[0019] (3) The release chamber provided in the present invention can help medical staff to collect the collected specimens. When the movable plate and the clamp move to the release chamber, since the inner diameter of the release chamber is larger than the inner diameter of the collection tube, the clamp will be quickly reset under the action of the coil spring, so that the specimen clamped by the clamp is released. At this time, the specimen will fall under the action of gravity, so that the specimen will fall along the outlet tube to the gauze net provided at the opening at the bottom end of the outlet tube. Then the medical staff can take out the specimen through the sampling window opened on the side wall of the protective tube. At the same time, the protective tube can also avoid contamination caused by taking out the specimen, further improving the safety performance of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
