Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to a sputum storage container. Background Art

[0002] Sputum examination refers to the examination of sputum for pathogenic microorganisms to help find the exact cause of respiratory infections. Clinically, respiratory tract infections will cause increased mucus secretions in the respiratory tract, which will produce sputum. In order to identify the cause, the sputum can be sent for pathological examination. Through pathological examination, it can be clearly diagnosed what caused the patient's respiratory infection.

[0003] In order to facilitate storage and testing, the existing sputum storage containers are generally small in diameter, basically smaller than the diameter of the manhole, which is convenient for storing multiple sputum storage containers. However, since it is difficult to control spitting, some sputum may not be aligned with the entrance and spit out of the sputum storage container, and the sputum falls on the hands or the ground, causing bacterial transmission.

The terms used in this specification are only for describing specific embodiments, not for limiting the present invention.

[0035] On the one hand, referring to Figure 1-Figure 3 According to the embodiment of the utility model, the sputum storage container comprises:

[0036] Tank 100;

[0037] An elastic ring 200, wherein the diameter of the elastic ring 200 is larger than the diameter of the tank body 100, and the elastic ring 200 can be elastically deformed;

[0038] The connecting film 300 has one end connected to the tank body 100 and the other end connected to the elastic ring 200 .

[0039] According to the embodiments of the utility model, by such a configuration, at least the following effects can be achieved: the caliber of the elastic ring 200 is larger than the caliber of the tank body 100, and the elastic ring 200 with a larger caliber is used for convenient collection, preventing part of the sputum from not aligning with the entrance and being spit out of the sputum storage container, and the sputum from falling onto the hands or the ground; the spitted sputum slides along the connecting membrane 300 into the tank body 100, which is convenient for collection; the elastic ring 200 can be elastically deformed, and the connecting membrane 300 is made of a soft structure, which can be stuffed into the tank body 100 or the cover body 400 before use, which is convenient for storage.

[0040] It can be understood that the connecting film 300 can be a plastic film with deformation capability.

[0041] It is understandable that the elastic ring 200 is made of elastic material and can be elastically deformed when subjected to external force. After the external force is removed, the elastic ring 200 returns to its original shape. The connecting membrane 300 is connected to the elastic ring 200 and changes with the deformation of the elastic ring 200 .

[0042] It can be understood that the diameter of the elastic ring 200 is much larger than the caliber of the can body 100, and the diameter of the elastic ring 200 is larger than the width of the mouth, which is convenient for collection.

[0043] It can be understood that the ring is a hollow structure, and the patient can spit out sputum through the middle of the ring.

[0044] In some embodiments, the connecting film 300 can be detachably mounted on the tank body 100. After the sputum is collected and falls into the tank body 100, the connecting film 300 together with the elastic ring 200 can be removed from the tank body 100, so as to facilitate the installation of the cover body 400 on the tank body 100.

[0045] Furthermore, the connecting film 300 may also be non-detachable, and after the sputum storage container is collected, the connecting film 300 and the elastic ring 200 are squeezed and deformed and inserted back into the tank body 100, and then the cover body 400 can be closed again.

[0046] In some embodiments, the connecting film 300 includes a fixing portion 310 and a disassembling portion 320, the fixing portion 310 is fixed to the tank body 100, the elastic ring 200 is disposed at the disassembling portion 320, and a plurality of cutouts are disposed between the fixing portion 310 and the disassembling portion 320. The setting of the cutouts facilitates the separation of the fixing portion 310 and the disassembling portion 320, and facilitates the disassembling portion 320 and the elastic ring 200 to be disassembled from the tank body 100 together.

[0047] In some embodiments, the width of the connecting film 300 increases gradually from bottom to top, so that sputum can slide down the connecting film 300 into the tank body 100 ; the width of the connecting film 300 is also suitable for the diameter of the elastic ring 200 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the elastic ring 200 has a shape of a circle, an ellipse, and a polygon. The elastic ring 200 may be a hollow structure of any shape.

[0049] In some embodiments, the connecting film 300 is made of a transparent material. The connecting film 300 made of a transparent material enables the user to see the internal situation; after the sputum completely slides into the tank body 100, the connecting film 300 is torn off to prevent the sputum from being taken out of the outside with the connecting film 300.

[0050] In some embodiments, the elastic ring 200 is made of materials such as rubber or silicone. Rubber or silicone has elasticity and can return to its original shape after deformation.

[0051] In some embodiments, a cover body 400 is further included, and the cover body 400 can be detachably mounted on the tank body 100. The cover body 400 and the tank body 100 are used together to prevent sputum leakage.

[0052] In some embodiments, the tank body 100 and the cover body 400 are connected by threads. The threaded connection facilitates quick installation and removal of the cover body 400 and has good sealing performance.

[0053] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model. The present utility model is not limited to the above implementation modes. As long as the technical effects of the present utility model are achieved by the same means, any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles disclosed in the present utility model shall be included in the scope of protection disclosed in the present utility model. They shall all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, its technical scheme and / or implementation mode may have various modifications and changes.
