Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a semen collection and storage device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of reproductive medicine, it is often necessary to collect male semen for disease testing or in vitro fertilization. After the semen is discharged from the body, it is usually collected and stored in a semen collection cup. In order to facilitate the collection of semen, the semen collection cup needs to have an open setting of 3-5cm in diameter. Due to individual differences, the amount of semen discharged by men in a single time is inconsistent, and some men discharge less semen in a single time.

[0003] The cup body of the prior art semen collection cup is mostly cylindrical in design (measuring cup), with the same diameter at the top and bottom and an open top. The liquid level of semen in the semen collection cup is low, which is very inconvenient to use a pipette or dropper for collection later, especially when the amount of semen is small.

[0004] In addition, semen must be preserved intact after leaving the body. If it is not properly preserved, many problems will arise. In particular, if semen is stored in an environment outside the body temperature range, its vitality will decrease, which will affect the test results or the success rate of fertilization. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a semen collection and storage device, which can effectively increase the liquid depth of semen in a container, can accurately extract semen, is easy to operate, has good storage conditions, helps to maintain the state of semen, and is convenient to use.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is:

[0007] A semen collection and storage device comprises a semen collection cup, wherein the semen collection cup comprises an inner cup body, an outer cup body and a cup cover, wherein the inner cup body is funnel-shaped, and the lower end of the inner cup body is closed, and the outer cup body is cylindrical, and the outer cup body is coaxially sleeved on the outer side of the inner cup body, and the upper end of the inner cup body is connected with the upper end of the outer cup body through an annular upper end face, and an annular cup cover groove is provided on the upper end face, and the cup cover is inserted into the cup cover groove to buckle the upper end of the inner cup body, and the inner cup body is provided with a scale, and an observation window is provided at a position corresponding to the scale on the outer cup body.

[0008] Specifically, the funnel-shaped inner cup body includes an inverted cone-shaped upper inner cup body and a tubular lower inner cup body. The opening of the upper inner cup body meets the open setting of the semen collection cup. After the semen is discharged, it is collected by the inner cup body and flows along the upper inner cup body into the lower inner cup body. The inner diameter of the lower inner cup body is smaller. When the amount of semen is small, a higher liquid level height can be maintained in the lower inner cup body, thereby facilitating subsequent collection.

[0009] The outer cup body is used to support the funnel-shaped inner cup body so that the sperm collection cup can be stably placed on a flat surface.

[0010] The outer cup body with an opening at the lower end can make the inner cup body better exchange heat with the outside world. When the storage environment has temperature control conditions, the temperature of semen can be controlled faster and better.

[0011] Through the observation window on the outer cup body, the liquid level of semen can be easily observed, and with the scale, the semen volume in the semen collection cup can be accurately identified.

[0012] Specifically, the cup cover groove is concentrically arranged on the outer side of the upper end of the inner cup body, and after the cup cover is buckled, foreign matter can be prevented from entering the inner cup body, thereby avoiding contamination of the semen sample. When in use, a label can be attached to the upper side of the cup cover to number multiple semen samples.

[0013] The outer cup body is provided with two finger grooves which are symmetrical with respect to the axial cross section of the sperm collection cup, and the observation window is located between the two finger grooves.

[0014] The fingertip groove cooperates with the operator's thumb and index finger to facilitate the operator to pick up the semen collection cup. At the same time, the fingertip groove also plays a positioning role. After the operator pinches the semen collection cup with two fingers, the observation window can be exposed, so that the operator can easily check the condition and semen volume of the semen in the semen collection cup through the observation window.

[0015] The semen collection and storage device comprises a thermostat, a heating tube is arranged at the bottom of the thermostat, and a solution is arranged in the thermostat to keep the temperature in the thermostat uniform.

[0016] After collecting semen from the semen cup, it can be placed in a constant temperature box. The heating tube can be used to keep the temperature inside the constant temperature box close to human body temperature, thereby improving the storage effect of the semen and maintaining the state of the semen to the greatest extent.

[0017] Furthermore, a semen collection cup support plate is provided in the middle of the constant temperature box, the outer cup body is in the shape of an inverted cone, and an inverted cone-shaped semen collection cup slot matching the outer cup body is provided on the semen collection cup support plate, and a through hole with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the lower end of the outer cup body is provided at the bottom of the slot of the semen collection cup.

[0018] The utility model holds up the sperm collecting cup by means of the sperm collecting cup supporting plate, and performs temperature buffering when the heating tube heats the solution.

[0019] The sperm collection cup slot is used to fix the sperm collection cup.

[0020] The through hole allows the heat generated by the heated solution to enter the gap between the inner cup body and the outer cup body through the through hole, thereby better controlling the temperature of the inner cup body.

[0021] The advantages and positive effects of the utility model are as follows: due to the adoption of the above technical scheme, the liquid level depth of semen in the container can be effectively increased, accurate extraction can be achieved, the operation is convenient, the storage conditions are good, it is helpful to maintain the state of semen, the effect on the test results is small, and the fertilization success rate is improved.
