Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laboratory animal intestinal inspection, in particular to a sampler for intestinal flora of laboratory animals. Background Art

[0002] Intestinal flora refers to the large number of bacteria that exist in the intestines of animals. This group of bacteria relies on the intestines of animals to live and helps the host complete a variety of physiological and biochemical functions. The intestine is not only an important place for digestion and absorption in animals, but also the largest immune organ. It plays an extremely important role in maintaining normal immune defense functions. Normal bacteria in the intestines of animals, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, can synthesize a variety of vitamins necessary for human growth and development.

[0003] The detection of intestinal flora can reflect the digestive capacity and health risks of the animal's intestine. Samples are usually collected from animal feces. In order to reduce the influence of various factors in the intermediate links, sampling is preferably performed from the anus. A cotton swab is usually dipped in animal feces, and the cotton swab dipped in animal feces is placed in a sampling tube and contacted with the liquid in the sampling tube. The cotton swab is then stirred in the liquid for thirty seconds. During the process of mixing the sample with the liquid, the sampler is exposed to the air, which causes the sampled feces to be in contact with the air for too long, which can easily cause bacteria in the external environment to adhere to the collected animal feces, thereby affecting the test results. Therefore, a sampler for intestinal flora of experimental animals is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-5 A sampler for intestinal flora of experimental animals comprises a sampling tube 1, an externally threaded tube 2 is fixedly arranged on the top of the sampling tube 1, an internally threaded cover 3 is threadedly arranged on the surface of the externally threaded tube 2, a connecting hole 4 is penetrated through the top of the internally threaded cover 3, a mounting column 5 is overlapped on the upper side wall of the internally threaded cover 3, a fixing stud 8 is fixedly arranged on the top of the mounting column 5, the fixing stud 8 is overlapped with the connecting hole 4, a knob 9 is overlapped on the top of the internally threaded cover 3, a threaded hole 10 is opened at the bottom of the knob 9, the threaded hole 10 is threadedly connected with the fixing stud 8, a collecting component is arranged on the mounting column 5, and the collecting component The mounting hole 6 comprises a mounting hole 6, which is arranged at the bottom of the mounting column 5, and is concave upward in the vertical direction. An elastic sleeve 14 is fixedly arranged inside the mounting hole 6, and the elastic sleeve 14 is circular in transverse cross section. The elastic sleeve 14 is made of elastic rubber. The elastic sleeve 14 made of elastic rubber makes it difficult for the sampling cotton swab 7 to fall out of the mounting hole 6 after the sampling cotton swab 7 is inserted into the mounting hole 6. The sampling cotton swab 7 is overlapped inside the elastic sleeve 14. The sampling tube 1 is a circular structure, and a holding cavity is arranged inside the sampling tube 1, and the bottom of the holding cavity is semicircular. The sampling tube 1 is colorless and transparent. The over-containing cavity is convenient for containing liquids and for placing the sampling cotton swab 7 inside the sampling tube 1. The colorless and transparent sampling tube 1 is convenient for checking the mixing status inside the sampling tube 1. The sampling cotton swab 7 is inserted into the mounting hole 6 so that the sampling cotton swab 7 squeezes the elastic sleeve 14 so that the elastic sleeve 14 fixes the sampling cotton swab 7 in the mounting hole 6, thereby facilitating the replacement of the sampling cotton swab 7. When an operation error occurs during the collection process, the sampling cotton swab 7 can be quickly replaced. After the sampling cotton swab 7 collects animal feces, the sampling cotton swab 7 is placed in the sampling tube 1. 1, and tighten the internal thread cover 3 on the external thread tube 2, the knob 9 drives the fixing stud 8 to rotate through the threaded hole 10, and the fixing stud 8 drives the mounting column 5 to rotate, so that the mounting column 5 drives the sampling cotton swab 7 to rotate through the mounting hole 6 and the elastic sleeve 14, thereby mixing the liquid in the sampling tube 1 with the feces on the sampling cotton swab 7, so that the collected sample is in a closed space when mixed with the liquid, avoiding the situation that the sample is mixed with the liquid after collection and exposed to the external environment, causing the bacteria in the external environment to adhere to the animal feces, and avoiding the external bacteria adhering to the animal feces to affect the detection structure.

[0021] Specifically, an identification component is provided on the surface of the sampling tube 1, and the identification component includes an adhesive layer 12. The adhesive layer 12 is bonded to the surface of the sampling tube 1. A label paper 13 is bonded to the side of the adhesive layer 12 away from the sampling tube 1. The label paper 13 is bonded to the surface of the sampling tube 1 through the adhesive layer 12, so that the sampling personnel can mark the sampling tube 1 easily. The marking makes it difficult to take the sampling tube 1 by mistake later.

[0022] Specifically, a scale line 11 is set on the front side of the sampling tube 1, and the reading of the scale line 11 increases from bottom to top. The setting of the scale line 11 facilitates the measurement of the liquid added to the sampling tube 1, avoiding the situation where too much or too little liquid is added to the sampling tube 1, and avoiding the influence of over-dilution or under-dilution on the detection result.

[0023] During use: rotate the internal threaded cover 3 to remove the internal threaded cover 3 from the surface of the external threaded tube 2, so that the internal threaded cover 3 drives the knob 9 to move upward, and the knob 9 drives the fixing stud 8 to move upward through the threaded hole 10, so that the fixing stud 8 drives the mounting column 5 to move upward, so that the mounting column 5 takes out the sampling cotton swab 7 from the sampling tube 1 through the mounting hole 6 and the elastic sleeve 14, and collects animal feces through the sampling cotton swab 7. After the collection is completed, the sampling cotton swab 7 is placed in the sampling tube 1, and the internal threaded cover 3 is screwed into the surface of the external threaded tube 2, and the knob 9 is rotated so that the knob 9 drives the fixing stud 8 to rotate through the threaded hole 10, and drives the mounting column 5 to rotate through the fixing stud 8, so that the mounting column 5 drives the sampling cotton swab 7 to rotate through the mounting hole 6 and the elastic sleeve 14, so that the animal feces collected on the sampling cotton swab 7 is repeatedly mixed with the liquid in the sampling tube 1.

[0024] To sum up, in the sampler for intestinal flora of experimental animals, after the sampling cotton swab 7 collects animal feces, the sampling cotton swab 7 is placed in the sampling tube 1, and the internal threaded cover 3 is tightened on the external threaded tube 2, and the knob 9 drives the fixing stud 8 to rotate through the threaded hole 10, and the fixing stud 8 drives the mounting column 5 to rotate, so that the mounting column 5 drives the sampling cotton swab 7 to rotate through the mounting hole 6 and the elastic sleeve 14, thereby mixing the liquid in the sampling tube 1 with the feces on the sampling cotton swab 7, so that the collected sample is in a closed space when mixed with the liquid, avoiding the situation where the sample is mixed with the liquid after collection and exposed to the external environment, causing the bacteria in the external environment to adhere to the animal feces, and avoiding the external bacteria adhering to the animal feces to affect the detection structure, which is used to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
