Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sample collectors, in particular to application of a novel sample collector in urine pregnancy tests. Background Art

[0002] A urine pregnancy test is a common laboratory test for early pregnancy. It uses a pregnancy test strip to qualitatively measure the concentration of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) in urine. During the test, the test strip is immersed in urine for approximately 5-10 seconds, removed and laid flat, and the result is observed within 5 minutes. Currently available urine test strips present a problem of where to store the test strips after collection. This haphazard placement not only causes environmental contamination and the risk of cross-infection, but can also lead to specimen errors, potentially resulting in irreversible medical safety concerns. Furthermore, some patients fail to heed the requirement to store specimens flat, potentially causing errors in test results. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Preferably, the bottom end of the sampling cup is provided with a non-slip rubber pad fixedly connected thereto.

[0006] Preferably, a connecting rope is fixedly connected to one side of the plug cover, and the other end of the connecting rope is fixedly connected to the side surface of the liquid outlet.

[0007] Preferably, the sampling cup is provided with a liquid level scale on its outer wall along the height direction.

[0008] Preferably, a handle is provided on one side of the sampling cup.

[0009] Preferably, the cup cover and the collection port of the sampling cup are adapted to fit together, and a sealing gasket is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the cup cover.

[0010] Preferably, a bulge is fixedly mounted on one side of the sampling cup, a pin is fixedly mounted on the bulge, and a handle is connected to the pin for damped rotation.

[0011] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of the present invention are as follows: In the present invention, a test paper placement slot is provided on the cup cover to facilitate the storage and flat placement of test papers. The device has a wide-mouth structure to facilitate the collection of urine samples. Secondly, by opening the plug cover, a small amount of urine sample can be poured out from the liquid outlet onto the test paper for testing, avoiding the problem of directly using an open-mouthed sampling cup to pour urine and being difficult to control the amount poured out. It is convenient to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

They do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present disclosure. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] It should also be noted that the standard parts used in this application document can all be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description in the specification and drawings. Unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection between the two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances, and, in the absence of clear limitations, machines, parts, and equipment can all adopt conventional models in the prior art.

[0018] In this document, the term "comprising" is intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0019] Example: Reference Figure 1-3 The application of a novel sample collector in a urine pregnancy test shown includes a sampling cup 1 , wherein a wide-mouthed collection port is provided at the top of the sampling cup 1 ; A cup cover 2 is installed on the upper end of the sampling cup 1 and covers the collection port; A test paper placement slot 3 is provided on the cup cover 2, and a test paper for testing can be inserted into the test paper placement slot 3; a liquid outlet 4 , the liquid outlet 4 being provided on the cup cover 2 and communicating with the inner cavity of the sampling cup 1 ; The plug cover 5 is used to cover the liquid outlet 4. A test paper placement slot is provided on the cup cover to facilitate the storage and flat placement of test papers. The device has a wide-mouth structure for easy collection of urine samples. Secondly, by opening the plug cover, a small amount of urine sample can be poured out from the liquid outlet onto the test paper for testing, avoiding the problem of directly using an open-mouthed sampling cup to pour urine and being difficult to control the amount poured out. It is convenient to use.

[0020] With the above structure, the bottom end of the sampling cup 1 is provided with an anti-skid rubber pad 10 fixedly connected thereto to facilitate anti-skid protection of the bottom.

[0021] With the above structure, one side of the plug cover 5 is fixedly connected with a connecting rope 6, and the other end of the connecting rope 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the liquid outlet 4 to prevent the plug cover from being lost.

[0022] With the above structure, the sampling cup 1 is provided with a liquid level scale 9 on its outer wall along the height direction.

[0023] With the above structure, a handle 8 is provided on one side of the sampling cup 1 to facilitate taking the device and avoid urine contamination of the hands.

[0024] With the above structure, the cup cover 2 and the collection port of the sampling cup 1 are adapted to fit together, and a sealing gasket 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the cup cover 2 for sealing.

[0025] With the above structure: a protrusion 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the sampling cup 1, a pin 11 is fixedly installed on the protrusion 12, and a handle 8 is connected to the pin 11 for damped rotation. In this way, when the handle is lifted up in use, the upper block on the protrusion will block the handle, making it easier to hold the handle stably, and the handle can be folded down for storage when not in use.

[0026] When in use, the cup lid can be opened to collect urine. The collected urine is in the sampling cup. A test paper placement slot is provided on the cup lid for easy storage and flat placement of the test paper. Then, the plug lid can be opened to pour a small amount of urine sample from the liquid outlet onto the test paper for testing, avoiding the problem of directly using an open-structured sampling cup to pour urine and being difficult to control the amount poured out. It is convenient to use.

[0027] To validate the effectiveness of this device, patients undergoing urine pregnancy tests at a reproductive center were recruited as subjects. Clinical physicians provided informed consent and the patients agreed to participate in the project. They were unwilling to accept automatic exclusion from the project. Patients who used a conventional urine collector served as a control group, while those who used the newly designed urine pregnancy test sample collector served as an experimental group. The two groups were observed for user experience, operability, sample omission rate, test error rate, patient and physician user experience.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
