Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a closed sputum collecting cup and belongs to the technical field of medical equipment. Background Art

[0002] Sputum contains mucus, inhaled dust, various inflammatory cells, necrotic and detached mucosal epithelial cells in the respiratory system, necrotic tissue, bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic substances. These pathogenic microorganisms can be transmitted through the respiratory tract and cause human diseases.

[0003] Clinical observations have found that patients collect coughed sputum into disposable cups or spittoons, and often do not cover the cups or spittoons containing sputum; sometimes, in order to allow doctors to observe the sputum coughed by patients, patients or their families will place the sputum collected overnight in a completely exposed manner, and some unattended patients also have certain difficulties in timely handling of sputum, and some patients even spit sputum directly on the ground and expose it to the air, and some bacteria or pathogens in sputum have a very high survival rate, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis with strong resistance, which can survive for half a year in a dark and humid place indoors; tuberculosis is transmitted through the air, and if the sputum and blood coughed by patients are not handled in time, or the untreated sputum is directly poured into domestic garbage, it will not only cause secondary pollution to the ward environment, but also cause a greater risk of cross infection to the patients' families, fellow patients or staff. The utility model is therefore developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a closed sputum collection cup in order to solve the above problems. The sputum can be prevented from being exposed to the air by setting a cup neck extending outward and a baffle connected to the inner rotation of the cup body.

[0005] The utility model achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A closed sputum collection cup comprises a cup body, a cup neck extending outward is arranged on the top of the cup body, a baffle is rotatably connected to the inside of the cup body, a storage bin is arranged inside the cup body and at the bottom of the baffle, a spitting port is arranged on the top of the cup neck, a flushing interface is arranged on the front of the cup body, a sputum drainage interface is arranged on the bottom of the baffle, and a negative pressure suction interface is arranged on the side of the cup body.

[0007] Furthermore, the cup neck is sloped, and the sloped inlet is smoother, which can ensure that the sputum slides smoothly into the cup body for collection, and will not cause sputum accumulation at the cup neck.

[0008] Furthermore, a filter port is provided at the top of the baffle and above the sputum drainage interface. The filter port is connected to the top of the sputum drainage interface. Sputum slides into the sputum drainage interface from the top of the baffle through the filter port and then enters the storage bin for collection.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing cover body is hinged on one side of the top of the spitting port through a hinge. The spitting port is opened or closed by the sealing cover body. The spitting port is sealed after spitting, which can prevent the exposure of sputum and the presence of some bacteria or pathogens in the air environment, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, to prevent secondary pollution of the ward environment and avoid the risk of cross infection among the patient's family members, fellow patients or staff during breathing.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner surface of the sputum drainage interface is provided with a sterilization layer, which can eliminate bacteria present in the sputum to a certain extent.

[0011] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the left side of the cup body, and the handle is convenient for bringing the cup body to the patient to collect sputum.

[0012] Furthermore, an anti-overflow plug is provided inside the flushing interface, and the anti-overflow plug blocks the flushing interface to prevent sputum from overflowing when it flows downward along the inner wall of the cup body.

[0013] Furthermore, a suction tube is fixedly connected to the interior of the negative pressure suction interface. After the sputum in the storage bin is full, the sputum in the cup can be removed by flushing the flushing interface in combination with negative pressure suction through the suction tube.

[0014] Technical effects and advantages of the utility model:

[0015] The cup neck extending outward and the baffle connected to the inner rotation of the cup body can prevent sputum from being exposed to the air. The filter port and sputum drainage interface on the baffle can allow a small amount of sputum to seep into the storage bin, and the spitting port is blocked by the sealing cover to prevent sputum exposure from causing bacteria or pathogens in the air, thereby preventing secondary pollution of the ward environment and avoiding the risk of cross infection during the breathing process of patients' families, fellow patients or staff.

[0016] When the cup is relatively viscous and full of sputum, the sputum in the cup can be removed by flushing and negative pressure suction, which makes it easy to use for the second time without infection, thus improving work efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
