Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a closed sputum collector. Background Art

[0002] Internal medicine medical staff need to observe the patient's sputum cough at all times, including the shape, color, and amount of sputum, so sputum collectors are often used. Common sputum collection devices are generally open containers. However, since sputum is an excrement containing a large number of pathogens, collecting it through an open container will expose it directly to the air, which is very likely to cause cross infection. In order to circumvent the above problems, a sealing cover is usually added to the open container, such as a funnel-type sputum collection box disclosed in the patent with publication number CN215607790U. However, in clinical practice, in order to facilitate subsequent transfer and testing of sputum, the opening edge of the open container is often designed with a pointed mouth. In view of the characteristic shape of the pointed mouth, it is difficult to add an effective sealing cover to the open container. In summary, the sealing cover and the pointed mouth are incompatible in the sputum collection device. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a closed sputum collector in view of the existing technical status, which is not only conducive to the subsequent rapid and efficient transfer and testing of sputum, but also avoids direct exposure of sputum to the air, reducing the risk of cross infection.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A closed sputum collector comprises a closed box and a collection cup arranged in the closed box. The closed box is a box-shaped structure with an open upper end, and a box cover is provided on the closed box to seal the opening. The collection cup is a container with an open upper end, and a sharp mouth is provided on the opening edge of the collection cup.

[0006] Furthermore, a positioning platform is fixedly provided in the sealed box, a positioning groove matched with the collecting cup is provided in the positioning platform, and the collecting cup is inserted in the positioning groove.

[0007] Furthermore, at least one limiting mechanism is provided on the side wall of the positioning groove, and the limiting mechanism is used to press the part of the collecting cup located in the positioning groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a mounting groove located on a side wall of the positioning groove and a spring sheet inserted into the mounting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the side wall of the collection cup is provided with scale lines extending from bottom to top, the side wall of the sealed box is embedded with an observation window, and the positioning platform is provided with an observation port corresponding to the observation window, and the observation window is used to observe the scale lines on the collection cup from outside the sealed box.

[0010] Furthermore, the scale line is located directly below the pointed mouth of the collection cup.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealed box is a cubic box-shaped structure, and its lateral length is greater than its longitudinal width.

[0012] Furthermore, the opening end of the collection cup is a trumpet-shaped structure.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] Compared with the existing technology, the closed sputum collector uses a collection cup as a collection container and a sealed box as a sealed storage container for the collection cup. On the one hand, a pointed mouth is designed on the collection cup, which is conducive to the subsequent rapid and efficient transfer and testing of sputum. On the other hand, the collection cup is placed in a sealed box to avoid direct exposure of sputum to the air and reduce the risk of cross infection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a closed sputum collector comprises a closed box 1 and a collection cup 3 arranged in the closed box 1.

[0021] The sealed box 1 is a box-shaped structure with an upper end opening, and a box cover 2 is provided on the sealed box 1 to seal the opening. The box cover 2 and the sealed box 1 are locked by a snap-on buckle structure or other structures. Specifically, the sealed box 1 is a cubic box-shaped structure, and more specifically, the horizontal length of the sealed box 1 is greater than the vertical width, that is, the sealed box 1 is a flat structure, so that the patient can grasp it with one hand.

[0022] In addition, an anti-slip structure 8 is provided on the left side and / or the right side of the sealed box 1 .

[0023] The collection cup 3 is a container with an upper opening, and a pointed mouth 6 is provided at the opening edge of the collection cup 3. Specifically, the collection cup 3 is a cylindrical cup-shaped structure. More specifically, one end of the opening of the collection cup 3 is a trumpet-shaped structure, that is, the opening of the collection cup 3 is relatively large, so that the patient can spit.

[0024] Based on the above technical solution, as another embodiment, a positioning platform 4 is fixedly provided in the sealed box 1, and a positioning groove 4-1 matching with the collection cup 3 is provided in the positioning platform 4, and the collection cup 3 is inserted in the positioning groove 4-1. According to the above design, the collection cup 3 will not shake horizontally or vertically in the sealed box 1.

[0025] Further preferably, at least one limiting mechanism is provided on the side wall of the positioning groove 4-1, and the limiting mechanism is used to press the portion of the collecting cup 3 located in the positioning groove 4-1. According to the above design, the collecting cup 3 will not move vertically in the sealed box 1.

[0026] Specifically, the limiting mechanism includes a mounting groove 4-3 located on the side wall of the positioning groove 4-1 and a spring piece 7 inserted in the mounting groove 4-3. In this embodiment, two sets of limiting mechanisms are arranged on the side wall of the positioning groove 4-1.

[0027] On the basis of the above technical solution, as another embodiment, the side wall of the collecting cup 3 is provided with scale lines extending from bottom to top, the side wall of the sealed box 1 is embedded with an observation window 5, and the positioning platform 4 is provided with an observation port 4-2 corresponding to the observation window 5, and the observation window 5 is used to observe the scale lines on the collecting cup 3 from the outside of the sealed box 1.

[0028] It is further preferred that the scale line is located directly below the pointed mouth 6 provided on the collection cup 3. According to the above design, the pointed mouth 6 can be used as a marker of the scale line, and the collection cup 3 is inserted into the positioning groove 4-1, and the position of the scale line is determined by the pointed mouth 6, so as to align it with the observation window 5.

[0029] The method of using the closed sputum collector is as follows:

[0030] For the patient, the box cover 2 is opened, the sputum is spit into the collection cup 3, and then the box cover 2 is closed;

[0031] For medical staff, the box cover 2 is opened, and the collection cup 3 is taken out for subsequent inspection.

[0032] In general, the utility model uses the collection cup 3 as a collection device and the sealed box 1 as a sealed storage device for the collection cup 3. On the one hand, the collection cup 3 is designed with a pointed mouth 6, which is conducive to the subsequent rapid and efficient transfer and testing of sputum. On the other hand, the collection cup 3 is placed in the sealed box 1, which avoids direct exposure of sputum to the air and reduces the risk of cross infection.

[0033] Of course, the above are only preferred implementations of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of use of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made to the principles of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
