[0029] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model is described in detail.

[0030] Example

[0031] Depend on Figure 1-3 It can be seen that a feces collector includes a collection tube 1, which is used to load the collected feces sample, so as to facilitate the subsequent medical staff to test the feces sample of the patient. The model of the collection tube 1 is not specifically limited here, and it only needs to meet the actual use requirements. It can be a tube body of a feces collector commonly used on the market, so as to reduce the possibility of patients and medical staff being unfamiliar with the use. A stirring cover 2 is installed on the collection tube 1, and the installation method is a threaded rotation connection. The stirring cover 2 can also be the cover body of an existing feces collector on the market. Its model is not specifically limited here, and it only needs to meet the actual use requirements.

[0032] At the same time, a sampling assembly that can be locked or separated therefrom is provided on the stirring cover 2, a sampling end of the sampling assembly extends into the collecting tube 1, a handheld end of the sampling assembly penetrates the stirring cover 2 and extends outward, and a sampling cover 6 is provided on the sampling assembly.

[0033] In addition, a through hole is provided on the stirring cover 2, and the through hole is blocked by the sampling cover 6, and the stirring cover 2 and the sampling cover 6 can be locked or separated. A block 3 is installed on the through hole wall of the stirring cover 2, and a slide groove 8 is provided on the sampling cover 6 to slide with the block 3. The slide groove 8 is L-shaped, and one end of the slide groove 8 passes through the inner end surface of the sampling cover 6, and the other end is also connected to a receiving groove 9 for receiving the block 3. Here, the inner end surface is the end surface of the sampling cover 6 close to the through hole of the stirring cover 2;

[0034] It is worth noting that the chute 8 is not limited to L-shaped, but can also be stepped or Z-shaped, as long as the sampling cover 6 can be locked or separated from the through hole of the stirring cover 2. In addition, the chute 8 of the above shape not only seals the through hole of the stirring cover 2 when the sampling cover 6 is installed to prevent the odor from emitting; at the same time, the special shape of the chute 8 allows the sampling assembly to rotate slightly when the sampling cover 6 is installed, so as to evenly stir the fecal sample in the collection tube, simplifying the stirring process and reducing the discomfort of patients and medical staff during the stirring process.

[0035] The slide groove 8 limits the block 3, so that the block 3 can only move along the slide groove 8. The slide groove 8 is connected with a receiving groove 9 for receiving the block 3. The receiving groove 9 limits and fixes the block 3, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the stirring cover 2 and the sampling cover 6. The matching components are used to realize the rapid installation and removal between the stirring cover 2 and the sampling cover 6. At the same time, the structural design is simple, which is convenient for patients and medical staff to operate.

[0036] It is worth noting that the locking or separation between the stirring cover 2 and the sampling cover 6 is not limited to the above-mentioned method. The stirring cover 2 may also be provided with a slide groove 8, and the block 3 may be located on the sampling cover 6. Alternatively, a piston-type plug-in may be used to achieve the locking or separation between the stirring cover 2 and the sampling cover.

[0037] Furthermore, an indicator point 10 is provided on the stirring cover 2, and the indicator point 10 corresponds to the position of the blocking block 3. By setting the indicator point 10 on the stirring cover 2, it is convenient for patients and medical staff to quickly know the position of the blocking block 3, and then facilitate the subsequent corresponding connection of the blocking block 3 with the slide groove 8 on the sampling cover 6, thereby improving the accuracy of sampling, and quickly positioning and installing, with the advantages of convenience and speed.

[0038] Furthermore, a marking point 11 is provided on the sampling cover 6, and the marking point 11 corresponds to the position of the receiving groove 9. Similarly, by setting the marking point 11 on the sampling cover 6, it is convenient for users to clearly know the position of the receiving groove 9, and then it is convenient to connect the blocking block 3 with the receiving groove 9 accordingly, so as to realize the installation and fixation between the stirring cover 2 and the sampling cover 6, which greatly reduces the workload of patients and medical staff and improves work efficiency.

[0039] The sampling end of the sampling component is a spoon 7, and the spoon 7 on the medicine collection cover 6 is used to collect feces, and then put into the collection tube 1, so that when taking samples, the medical staff only needs to detach the sampling cover 6 from the stirring cover 2 and take the spoon 7 with the feces sample out of the collection tube 1. This design makes the opening smaller during the sampling process, reduces the possibility of odor emission and feces sample leakage, and alleviates the discomfort of the medical staff.

[0040] Moreover, the maximum width of the spoon 7 is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole on the stirring cover 2, so that the sampling cover 6 with the spoon 7 can smoothly pass through the through hole of the stirring cover 2, ensuring that the patient and medical staff can place the spoon 7 into the collection tube 1 or take it out of the collection tube 1 without affecting the subsequent sampling and testing work.

[0041] Meanwhile, the length of the spoon 7 is less than the length of the collection tube 1. Preferably, the length of the spoon 7 is 4 / 5 of the collection tube 1, so that the spoon 7 does not contact the bottom of the collection tube 1, and thus does not affect the subsequent stirring of the stool sample in the collection tube 1 by the stirring cover 2, and no interference occurs.

[0042] It is worth noting that the sampling component is not limited to the spoon 7, as long as it is a tool with a digging function, it can be used, but it must be able to pass through the through hole on the stirring cover 2 smoothly and its length must be less than the length of the collecting tube 1, that is, to ensure that the sampling work is carried out normally without interference.

[0043] In addition, the handheld end of the sampling component is a handle 12, which saves time and effort and facilitates patients and medical staff to operate the sampling cover 6 to install it on the stirring cover 2 or detach it from the stirring cover 2.

[0044] Regarding the description of the stirring assembly, a stirring assembly is installed on the stirring cover 2; the stirring assembly includes a stirring rod 4 installed on the stirring cover 2, and the stirring rod 4 extends into the collecting tube 1. By installing the stirring rod 4 on the stirring cover 2, the stirring process is made more convenient and efficient, saving time and energy of patients and medical staff.

[0045] In addition, a columnar body 5 for increasing the stirring area is installed at the end of the stirring rod 4, and the stirring area of ​​the stirring rod is increased by the columnar body 5 to ensure the uniformity of the sample, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent test results. The distance from the end of the stirring rod 4 to the bottom of the collection tube 1 is not less than 5 mm, that is, the distance from the end of the stirring rod 4 to the bottom of the collection tube 1 can be 5 mm or greater than 5 mm, which also ensures that there will be no interference during the stirring process.

[0046] Specifically, when using the stool collector, after defecation, the patient uses the spoon 7 at the bottom of the sampling cover 6 to sample the stool, and pays attention to selecting abnormal parts, such as parts with mucus and blood.

[0047] After the sampling is completed, the position of the blocking block 3 is known through the indicating point 10, the slide groove 8 of the sampling cover 6 is connected to the blocking block 3 of the stirring cover 2, and the position of the receiving groove 9 is known through the marking point 11, and the blocking block 3 is confined in the receiving groove 9. In this way, the sampling cover 6 and the stirring cover 2 are assembled.

[0048] Then, the stirring cover 2 is screwed on the collection tube to ensure sealing. During the tightening process, the stirring rod 4 at the bottom of the stirring cover 2 stirs the feces sample in the collection tube 1 to ensure the uniformity of the sample.

[0049] At the same time, the columnar body 5 at the end of the stirring rod 4 can increase the stirring area.

[0050] After the stirring is completed, the sampling cover 6 can be used again for sampling as needed, or the entire collector can be sent to an inspection site for testing, culturing, and other operations.

[0051] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
