[0002] Before conducting a DNA test, forensic doctors will first collect hair from the target person and send the collected hair samples for inspection. Currently, the hair collection tools commonly used by forensic doctors include scissors, aluminum foil, tie bands, packaging bags, disposable gloves, rulers, sterile cotton balls, markers, etc. Before taking hair samples, first use sterile cotton balls to wipe and disinfect the scissors, use the scissors to cut along the roots of the hair, tie the cut hair neatly with a tie band, wrap it with aluminum foil, put it in a packaging bag, and finally write a mark on the packaging bag. The above common forensic hair collection methods have the following shortcomings in actual applications:

[0003] When cutting hair along the roots using scissors, the tip of the scissors can easily pierce the scalp of the target person, posing a certain safety hazard. In addition, each hair sampling requires a series of steps such as disinfection, binding, and packaging. The hair sampling process is complicated and the sampling efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a hair sampling device for forensic identification, comprising a hair storage tube 1 and an external threaded head 2 fixedly arranged at the top of the hair storage tube 1, a hair collection mechanism 3 for cutting and tightening hair is arranged on the external threaded head 2, the hair collection mechanism 3 comprises a first collection sleeve 31 and a second collection sleeve 32 and a third collection sleeve 33 hinged on the first collection sleeve 31, a cutter assembly is fixedly installed between the first collection sleeve 31 and the second collection sleeve 32, a compression rubber pad 39 is fixedly arranged between the first collection sleeve 31 and the third collection sleeve 33, a clamping assembly is arranged between the second collection sleeve 32 and the third collection sleeve 33, a card insertion slot 38 is opened on one side of the front of the first collection sleeve 31, a card insertion buckle 37 is fixedly arranged on the front of the second collection sleeve 32, the card insertion buckle 37 is arranged opposite to the card insertion slot 38, a shallow groove 310 is opened in the middle of the compression rubber pad 39, and a label 4 is pasted on the outer surface of the hair storage tube 1.

[0022] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Further, the bottom ends of the first collection sleeve 31 and the third collection sleeve 33 are fixedly provided with a threaded sleeve 311, the threaded sleeve 311 is threadedly connected to the external thread head 2, the cutter assembly includes a cutter seat 35 and a cutter groove 34 arranged opposite to the cutter seat 35, a cutting blade 36 is fixedly installed on the cutter seat 35, the cutter groove 34 is fixedly installed on the first collection sleeve 31, and the cutter seat 35 is fixedly installed on the second collection sleeve 32;

[0023] When in use, the hair storage tube 1 and the corresponding hair collection mechanism 3 are both disposable items. When taking hair samples, there is no need for disinfection. After unfolding the collection sleeve, the first collection sleeve 31 can be directly pressed against the root of the hair to cut it. The operation is simple, safe and reliable, and will not scratch the scalp of the target person.

[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4Further, the clamping assembly includes a slide groove 313 provided on the outer surface of the second collection sleeve 32, a card inserting member 314 is slidably provided on the inner side of the slide groove 313, and a card inserting slot 312 is provided on the top of the third collection sleeve 33, and the card inserting slot 312 matches the card inserting member 314;
