Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical detection, and more specifically, particularly relates to an automatic fecal sample collection device. Background Art

[0002] During the medical examination process, the quality of the specimen collection directly affects the accuracy of the subsequent test results; in the aspect of fecal detection, unqualified specimens are the main reason for inaccurate results. Fecal detection is one of the clinical routine laboratory tests. For example, fecal occult blood is an early warning of digestive tract abnormalities. Detecting relevant indicators of fecal samples is of great significance for the early screening of digestive tract malignancies (such as colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, polyps, adenomas). During the fecal detection process, it is usually necessary to use a collection spoon / sampling rod to collect fecal samples, and then put the collection spoon / rod after collecting the samples into a disposable storage tube body that matches it, and seal it for subsequent test operations.

[0003] Based on the above, the following problems are found: In the existing sampling, the sampling results are usually unqualified, and there are problems with the collection site and amount of feces. For example, the part with pus, blood, mucus or abnormal color should be selected. If there is no abnormality, samples can be taken from different parts of the fecal surface and deep inside the feces, and the amount is too much or too little; special groups such as the elderly and the disabled may not be able to complete fecal sample collection independently; for such special samples as feces, everyone feels disgusted and uncomfortable when collecting them.

[0004] Therefore, an automatic fecal sample collection device is designed to achieve automatic and standardized fecal collection, and improve the accuracy of test results and the comfort and satisfaction of patients. Summary of the Invention

Then, the collection box 23 is placed into the toilet body 1 by controlling the third servo motor 16. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 6 is controlled to extend. After completion, a sound is emitted to remind the user that they can defecate.

[0043] Specific usage method and function of this embodiment:

[0044] In the present invention, when in use, the user inserts the supporting patient medical record card into the card slot 41. The reader 4 reads it and simultaneously controls the first servo motor 15 and the second servo motor 16 to start. The first servo motor 15 drives the rotating rod 17 to rotate, and toggles a single sterile feces pad from the third through hole 131 into the second paper box 14. The inclined first paper box 13 can better guide the sterile feces pad into the first paper box 13. The second servo motor 16 drives the rotating rod 17 to rotate, and guides the sterile feces pad in the second paper box 14 to the bottom of the toilet body 1. The provided multiple toggling rods 171 can better toggle the sterile feces pad, laying the sterile paper. The thermal printer 26 prints the corresponding label and pastes it on one side of the top of the collection box 23. Then, the collection box 23 is placed into the toilet body 1 by controlling the third servo motor 16. By the rotation of the third servo motor 19, the driving gear 20 drives the driven rack 21 to rotate. The driven rack 21 drives the first support rod 22 to move towards the inside of the toilet body 1. The first support rod 22 moves the collection box 23 on the top of the support rail 18 towards the top of the second support rod 25. When the first support rod 22 moves to the top of the second support rod 25, the bottom of the collection box 23 falls inside the second support rod 25. Then, the third servo motor 19 is controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, and the first support rod 22 is withdrawn. Subsequently, the electric telescopic rod 6 is controlled to extend, covering the baffle 7 over the first through hole 11. After completion, a sound is emitted to remind the user that they can defecate. After the feces are discharged, the user holds the box cover 24, inserts the second latch 243 into the second groove 232, and then pinches the lifting block 241 to remove the collection box 23 from the toilet body 1. After use, the toilet lid 5 is closed, and the water pump inside the alcohol tank 3 is controlled to start, spraying the alcohol inside the alcohol tank 3 from the water guide pipe 10. The multiple spray holes 101 evenly spray the alcohol to remove the bacteria and viruses inside the toilet body 1.

[0045] The embodiments of the present invention are given for purposes of illustration and description, and are not exhaustive or limit the invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
