Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of specimen preservation and display equipment, and in particular to a stool specimen storage device for contactless automatic collection and a method for using the device. Background Art

[0002] Feces are the final product of food digestion. Stool examinations can reveal conditions in the digestive tract, such as inflammation, bleeding, parasitic infections, and malignant tumors. The properties and composition of stool can indirectly assess the function of the gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and hepatobiliary systems. Examining stool for pathogens can also help prevent and treat intestinal infections.

[0003] In clinical work, the collection and examination of urine and feces specimens is the most routine and basic work in hospitals. The defects of urine and feces specimen storage boxes currently used in clinical practice are: 1. Currently, nurses first hand out specimen boxes, which patients then collect and place in a designated storage box. Upon discovery, nurses then take the specimens to the patient for verification and scan the QR code to complete the collection process. This cumbersome process increases the nurse's workload and poses the risk of secondary infection if the specimen is handled again. There are also cases where a patient has already collected a specimen without the nurse's knowledge, which can easily lead to expired specimens, inaccurate test results, and poor patient observation.

[0004] 2. The current stool storage box is a rectangular plastic box, in which all the patient's specimens are mixed together without partitioned storage areas, which makes it messy and difficult to manage, and is also prone to cross infection.

[0005] 3. The height of the existing storage box is smaller than that of the stool collection device, so the specimen can only be placed horizontally in the storage box. The specimen is prone to leakage and contamination, and the specimen needs to be collected again, which reduces patient satisfaction.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides a stool specimen storage device for contactless automatic collection and a method of using the same to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a stool specimen storage device for contactless automatic collection and a method of use thereof, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a contactless and automated stool specimen storage device, comprising a box body, characterized in that eight cylindrical specimen storage bins are evenly spaced within the box body, an electromagnetically driven flip cover is provided on one side of the specimen storage bin, the electromagnetically driven flip cover is snap-fitted onto the top of the specimen storage bin, an electric cylinder is provided below the specimen storage bin, an extended end of the electric cylinder extends into the interior of the specimen storage bin, a placement base plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the electric cylinder, a touch screen and a QR code scanner are inlaid on one side of the specimen storage bin at the top of the box body, and a controller, a power supply and a timer are provided inside the box body.

[0009] Preferably, an annular clamping block is provided at the bottom of the electromagnetically driven flip cover, and an annular clamping groove is provided at the top of the specimen storage bin, and the annular clamping block is engaged with the annular clamping groove.

[0010] Preferably, an audible and visual alarm is provided on one side of the specimen storage compartment at the top of the box.

[0011] Preferably, a three-color LED light is provided on one side of the specimen storage compartment at the top of the box, including a red LED light, a green LED light, and a blue LED light.

[0012] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided at the bottom of the annular groove.

[0013] Preferably, a gravity sensor is embedded in the center of the top of the placement base plate.

[0014] Preferably, an ultraviolet sterilization lamp is provided at the bottom of the electromagnetically driven flip cover.

[0015] Preferably, the controller is integrated with a wireless communication module and connected to the hospital system.

[0016] A method for using a stool specimen storage device for contactless automated collection includes the following steps: Step 1: Scanning a QR code on a patient's wristband using a QR code scanner 3 to generate an encrypted verification request; Step 2: Scan the barcode of the specimen tube, and the device automatically executes the dual-factor matching algorithm. When the verification is passed, the electromagnetically driven flap 5 on the target specimen storage chamber 4 opens; Step 3: Insert the specimen tube vertically into the opened target specimen storage chamber 4. When the gravity sensor 10 detects a mass change, the electromagnetically driven flip cover 5 automatically closes. Step 4: Select the "Laboratory Outbound" mode on the touch screen 2, the electromagnetically driven flip cover 5 opens, the electric cylinder 15 rises, the placement base 9 rises, and a voice prompt is given: "Please take away specimen No. X."

[0017] Beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. The present invention adopts a single-compartment selective opening design, which effectively avoids the risk of contamination when the entire box is opened.

[0018] 2. The present invention adopts a two-dimensional code scanner and an electromagnetic-driven flip-cover dual-code hardware interlocking design, which effectively avoids manual verification that is prone to errors. 3. The present invention uses a gravity sensor and a timer to link together, which can trace the storage time of the specimen, thereby avoiding the expiration of the specimen and causing errors in the test results that affect the observation of the disease.
