Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of collection tubes, in particular to a vaginal secretion specimen collection tube capable of preventing a cotton swab from slipping out. Background Art

[0002] The vaginal secretion specimen collection tube is mainly used to place vaginal secretion specimens. There are two types of vaginal secretion specimen collection tubes available. One is an integrated collection tube, which is designed with a tube cover and a collection cotton swab installed on the tube cover. This collection tube is relatively expensive. The other is an open clean plastic collection tube, which uses a sterile cotton swab to collect specimens and then places them in a clean disposable plastic tube (since vaginal secretion specimens do not need to be kept under sterile conditions, they can be exposed to the external environment). This collection tube is inexpensive and easy to use.

[0003] In order to reduce costs, open clean plastic collection tubes are generally used. From specimen collection to specimen transportation and inspection, the vast majority of specimens are transported and inspected in batches. In this process, the cotton swab used to collect the specimen may slip out of the collection tube due to operational errors. The slipped cotton swab can easily cause specimen contamination, reduce the accuracy of the inspection, and may also cause environmental pollution, increasing biosafety risks. In addition, since there is no specimen information on the specimen collection cotton swab (the specimen information strip is pasted on the collection tube), once it slips out, it will cause specimen confusion and lead to medical errors. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a vaginal secretion specimen collection tube that prevents cotton swabs from slipping out. The placed cotton swab is clamped by a fixed clamp arm and a movable clamp arm on the tube body, and the clamping state of the fixed clamp arm and the movable clamp arm is maintained by a locking mechanism, thereby preventing the cotton swab from slipping out of the tube body, thereby avoiding specimen contamination, environmental pollution and specimen confusion caused by the cotton swab slipping out.

[0024] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model is described in detail.

[0025] Example

[0026] A vaginal secretion specimen collection tube for preventing a cotton swab from slipping out, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a tube body 2, a fixed clamp arm 3 is fixedly arranged at the tube mouth of the tube body 2, one end of the fixed clamp arm 3 is hinged with a movable clamp arm 4, and a locking mechanism for maintaining the clamping state of the fixed clamp arm 3 and the movable clamp arm 4 is arranged at one end of the fixed clamp arm 3 and the movable clamp arm 4 away from the hinge point.

[0027] Before using the cotton swab 8 to collect the specimen, first open the movable clamp arm 4 so that the tube mouth of the tube body 2 is as open as possible to place the cotton swab 8; after the specimen is collected, insert the cotton swab 8 into the tube body 2, and then rotate the movable clamp arm 4 so that the fixed clamp arm 3 and the movable clamp arm 4 cooperate to clamp the cotton swab 8, and finally use the locking mechanism to lock it, so as to stably clamp the cotton swab 8.

[0028] In order to reduce the blocking effect of the fixed clamp arm 3 on the placement of the cotton swab 8, the fixed clamp arm 3 can be set close to the inner wall of the tube body 2. The specific setting is as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0029] In order to conveniently clamp the cotton swab 8, the length of the cotton swab 8 is longer than the length of the tube body 2, that is, after the cotton swab 8 is placed in the tube body 2, the top of the cotton swab 8 protrudes from the tube mouth of the tube body 2, and the fixed clamp arm 3 and the movable clamp arm 4 can conveniently clamp the cotton swab 8. Under the above conditions, the length of the tube body 2 can be further shortened while ensuring the placement of the cotton swab 8, so as to reduce the use cost. The fixed clamp arm 3 and the movable clamp arm 4 are made of plastic to reduce the cost.

[0030] The locking mechanism includes a ferrule 7 disposed at the end of the movable clamp arm 4, and a hanging rod 6 for hooking the ferrule 7 is disposed at the end of the fixed clamp arm 3. After the fixed clamp arm 3 and the movable clamp arm 4 clamp the cotton swab 8, the ferrule 7 is hooked on the hanging rod 6 to prevent the movable clamp arm 4 from opening. The locking mechanism can also adopt a lock buckle structure, but the lock buckle structure is more troublesome when unlocking, so it is preferred to use a locking mechanism in which the ferrule 7 cooperates with the hanging rod 6.

[0031] A through hole is provided at the end of the movable clamp arm 4, and the ferrule 7 movably passes through the movable clamp arm 4 through the through hole to form an annular structure, so that the ferrule 7 can be easily swung to adjust the angle.

[0032] The ferrule 7 is a rubber ring. The rubber ring can be deformed and convenient for the operator to hook on the hanging rod 6. When it is necessary to take out the specimen for inspection, the rubber ring can be cut off.

[0033] One end of the fixed clamp arm 3 and the movable clamp arm 4 away from the hinge point both extends out of the tube body 2 , making it convenient for operators to perform locking operations outside the tube body 2 .

[0034] The opposite side of the fixed clamp arm 3 and the movable clamp arm 4 is provided with a receiving groove 5. Figure 3 As shown, the accommodating groove 5 can limit the cotton swab 8 to prevent the cotton swab 8 from sliding, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping.

[0035] The receiving groove 5 is an arc-shaped groove, which can better fit the surface of the cotton swab 8 and increase the stability of the clamping.

[0036] The pipe body 2 is fixedly sleeved with a mounting ring 1, and the fixed clamp arm 3 is fixedly mounted on the mounting ring 1. The fixed clamp arm 3 and the movable clamp arm 4 are both arranged on the mounting ring 1, so that the pipe body 2 can be manufactured separately, and finally the mounting ring 1 is assembled on the pipe body 2, which is convenient for production.

[0037] 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.
