Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to an intelligent sputum collection device for clinically standardizing sputum collection of patients. Background Art

[0002] Standard sputum collection is the "first hurdle" for the diagnosis of respiratory diseases, directly affecting the sensitivity and specificity of etiological detection. Sputum collection is crucial for the diagnosis, treatment, and disease management of patients with respiratory diseases. The sputum test of patients with respiratory diseases is of great significance:

[0003] 1. To clarify etiological diagnosis: distinguish the type of infection, distinguish between infections by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and guide precise medication; drug resistance analysis, identify drug-resistant strains, avoid empirical medication, tumor screening, etc.

[0004] 2. To guide individualized treatment: guide the selection of antibiotics according to the results of sputum culture; confirmation of tuberculosis: finding Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum test is the gold standard for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, indicating that the patient may be infectious and is the source of infection of tuberculosis. Through the test results of sputum, the infectivity of the patient can be evaluated.

[0005] 3. Evaluation of treatment effectiveness, disease severity, and prognosis; Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, which can invade many organs, and pulmonary tuberculosis infection is the most common, that is, the so-called pulmonary tuberculosis. When the human immune system is strong, the infected Mycobacterium tuberculosis can be controlled or eliminated; while when the immunity is low, Mycobacterium tuberculosis will multiply in large numbers, causing diseases.

[0006] When a patient is unsure whether they have tuberculosis, it is generally determined by collecting and then testing the patient's sputum. If Mycobacterium tuberculosis is detected in the sputum, it indicates that the patient may be infectious and is the source of infection of tuberculosis. Through the test results of sputum, the infectivity of the patient can be evaluated, so as to take corresponding isolation measures to prevent the spread of the disease to others. For example, patients with positive Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum need to be strictly isolated to avoid their close contact with others and reduce the risk of transmission.

[0007] At present, for the collection of sputum from respiratory patients, it is generally directly collected by using a simple sampling cup; although it can collect sputum to a certain extent, there are still defects to a certain extent: for example, during the process of collecting sputum, patients cannot accurately spit the sputum into the collection box; when patients need to collect sputum, they cannot collect sputum specimens if there is no sputum, or collect saliva, which is an invalid sputum specimen; some patients collect sputum, but the amount of sputum is too small to be detected, etc., which delays the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The accuracy of the test results depends on the quality of the sputum specimens collected by patients. How patients correctly collect sputum specimens and whether the amount of sputum specimens collected is qualified are of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with respiratory diseases. (Due to dry mouth and throat, the amount of sputum is small, resulting in a small amount of sputum collected finally, which does not have comprehensive representativeness). To solve these problems, it is often necessary to perform nebulized inhalation to enable patients to have a certain amount of sputum; at the same time, the current simple collection cup does not have a corresponding reminder function, and patients often spit it out directly when they have sputum. There are still defects to a certain extent.

[0034] Atomization holes 25 and trigger blocks 23 are respectively arranged on both sides of the lower end of the atomization inhalation component 2; a vertical groove 141 is fixedly arranged on one side of the upper end of the sputum collection main body 1, a horizontal groove 142 is opened at the bottom end of the vertical groove 141, and a press switch 143 is fixedly installed on the vertical groove 141; the front end of the atomization component 4 is aligned with the position of the horizontal groove 142; by rotating the sputum atomization component 4, the separation and contact of the trigger block 23 and the press switch 143 are controlled to control the operation and non-operation of the atomization component 4, realizing the atomization inhalation and sputum collection of patients;

[0035] Specifically, the atomization inhalation component 2 includes: an atomization mask 21, an atomization cylinder 24, and a limiting ring 22; the upper end of the atomization cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the atomization mask 21. The structure of the atomization mask 21 conforms to the biological anatomical structure of the human mouth and nose, and can effectively fit the patient's face. At the lower end of the atomization mask 21, a limiting ring 22 is fixedly installed on the atomization cylinder 24. Atomization holes 25 and a trigger block 23 are provided on both sides of the atomization cylinder 24; by rotating the atomization cylinder 24, the contact or separation between the trigger block 23 and the push switch 143 at the vertical groove 141 on the sputum collection main body 1 can be realized, thereby controlling the operation of the atomization component 4;

[0036] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the atomization component 4 includes: an atomization device 41, an atomization tube 42, a fixing head 43, an electromagnet 431, a spring 432, and an atomization head 433; the atomization device 41 is fixedly installed inside the sputum collection main body 1. The upper end of the atomization device 41 is fixedly installed with the atomization tube 42. The end of the atomization tube 42 is fixedly installed with the fixing head 43. The atomization head 433 is movably installed at the front end of the fixing head 43. A spring 432 is sleeved between the atomization head 433 and the fixing head 43, and both ends of the spring 432 are respectively fixed on the atomization head 433 and the fixing head 43. An electromagnet 431 is fixedly installed between the atomization head 433 and the fixing head 43, and the electromagnet 431 is in a ring structure; the telescopic movement of the atomization head 433 is controlled by the electromagnet 431; the telescopic movement of the atomization head 433 is controlled by the electromagnet 431 to generate an atomization effect, which is transported to the patient's respiratory tract through the atomization tube 42. In this device, the sputum collection component 3 is arranged directly below the atomization inhalation component 2, providing a clear sputum spitting position for the patient and improving the sputum spitting accuracy. For the problem of less sputum volume and lack of representativeness caused by dry mouth and throat, the atomization device 41 increases the humidity of the respiratory tract by generating an atomization effect, ensuring the sputum volume and making the collected sputum more representative.

[0037] Meanwhile, at the upper end of the atomization hole 25, an arc-shaped baffle 44 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the atomization cylinder 24, and the arc-shaped baffle 44 bends downward; when there is no arc-shaped baffle 44, when collecting sputum, the sputum will flow downwards. During the downward flow, due to the presence of the atomization head 433, the sputum will contaminate the atomization head 433. At the same time, since it is combined with a patient or a suspected patient, it will cause the entire device to be contaminated; therefore, in order to effectively solve the above technical problems, in this embodiment, an arc-shaped baffle 44 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the atomization cylinder 24. At the same time, the arc-shaped baffle 44 bends downward. Through the design of the arc-shaped baffle 44, the sputum can be effectively blocked; enabling the atomization head to atomize while not contaminating the atomization head 433. The above function is achieved through the cooperation of the arc-shaped baffle 44 and the atomization head.
