Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sampling, and in particular relates to an integrated device for holding and breaking a sampling cotton swab. Background Art

[0002] Cotton swab sampling is a commonly used method for collecting biological samples. It is usually used to collect cell or microbial samples from the oral cavity, nasal cavity, skin and other parts. This sampling method involves gently wiping the part to be collected with a cotton swab to allow cells or microorganisms to adhere to the cotton swab, and then placing the cotton swab in an appropriate container for storage or inspection.

[0003] When collecting samples, staff need to quickly break the sampling cotton swab. At present, on the one hand, research has been conducted on setting a breaking notch or breaking hole on the sampling tube. However, this design is of fixed size and has limitations on breaking cotton swabs of different diameters, which can easily limit the use of the sampling tube. On the other hand, setting notches of different sizes on the cotton swab rod can effectively and quickly break the cotton swab. However, this type of cotton swab not only increases the difficulty of production and increases the collection cost, but also greatly reduces the overall bending resistance of the cotton swab. It is difficult to make close contact with the surface in special samples, which reduces the sampling quality. Utility Model Content

It can be used for sampling cotton swabs of different sizes, and the breaking position of the cotton swab rod can be adjusted arbitrarily.

[0008] Preferably, the roller is mounted on the longitudinal upper end surface of the shell, its cylindrical surface is higher than the shell surface, and the lower end of the cylindrical surface is in contact with the sampling cotton swab rod, and the rolling shaft inside the roller is hinged to the shell.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning button is also mounted on the longitudinal upper end surface of the housing, and a contact rod at the bottom of the button passes through the housing to contact the sampling cotton swab rod.

[0010] Preferably, the sampling cotton swab rod is inserted into the device through the circular hole on the transverse end surface of the shell, passes through the gap between the roller and the blade and the middle empty area of ​​the pry rod, and its tail contacts the support block.

[0011] (3) Beneficial effects
