Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sputum cups, in particular to a new type of sputum cup. Background Technique
[0002] A sputum cup is a container used to collect and store sputum, usually designed for single use to ensure hygiene and prevent cross-infection. It is mainly used in medical units to collect sputum samples for clinical diagnostic tests. These samples can help doctors judge the patient's condition, such as whether there is an infection, the type of pathogen causing the infection, etc.
[0003] Clinically, to diagnose pneumonia or pulmonary tuberculosis in patients, it is necessary to test the sputum of the patients. The conventional method is to take the sputum samples of the patients throughout the day every four hours. Usually, the hospital laboratory department distributes the sampling tubes to the patients 24 hours in advance. After the patients complete the sampling according to the time period, they send the samples to the hospital laboratory department for testing. Since there are a large number of sampling tubes, it is very easy for the patients to forget to leave the sputum during that period. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a sputum cup with a time reminder function. Content of the Utility Model

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a novel sputum cup, including a sputum cup body 1, a sealing cover 2, and a rotating disk 3. The top of the sputum cup body 1 is threadedly connected with the sealing cover 2, and the top of the sealing cover 2 is rotatably connected with the rotating disk 3;
[0025] Time scale 9, the time scale 9 is etched on the top of the cover body 7 of the sealing cover 2, which plays a role of reminding time inside the sealing cover 2;
[0026] Sector-shaped notch 14, the sector-shaped notch 14 is opened at the top of the connection groove 13 of the rotating disk 3, which plays a prompting role inside the rotating disk 3;
[0027] The surface of this sputum cup is additionally provided with a rotating disk 3 compared with the existing sputum cups. When a patient uses it, the rotating disk 3 can be turned according to the collected time to expose the time scale 9 corresponding to the collection time, so as to avoid the situation of confused sampling;
[0028] The sputum cup body 1 includes a plastic cup body 4, scale markings 5 and anti-slip particles 6. The scale markings 5 are fixedly connected to the outside of the plastic cup body 4. There are three groups of scale markings 5 and they are evenly arranged on the outside of the plastic cup body 4. The bottom end of the plastic cup body 4 is fixedly connected with anti-slip particles 6. There are several groups of anti-slip particles 6 and they are evenly arranged at the bottom end of the plastic cup body 4;
[0029] The anti-slip particles 6 at the bottom of the plastic cup body 4 increase the friction between the sputum cup body 1 and the placement surface. The anti-slip particles 6 are made of rubber material, which improves the stability when placing the sputum cup;
[0030] The sealing cover 2 includes a cover body main body 7, a handle 8, a time scale 9, a fixed shaft 10 and a limit shaft 11. The handle 8 is fixedly connected to the front side of the cover body main body 7. The time scale 9 is etched on the top end of the cover body main body 7. The fixed shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the center of the top end of the cover body main body 7. The limit shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the top end of the fixed shaft 10;
[0031] The rotating disk 3 includes a rotating disk main body 12, a connecting groove 13 and a sector-shaped notch 14. A through connecting groove 13 is opened in the center of the top end of the rotating disk main body 12. A sector-shaped notch 14 is opened on the outside of the rotating disk main body 12;
[0032] The words of the time scale 9 on the surface of the sealing cover 2 are respectively morning, noon and evening, and the time scale 9 corresponds to the sector-shaped notch 14 respectively;
[0033] When collecting sputum from a patient, the patient can first turn the rotating disk 3 so that the sector-shaped notch 14 of the rotating disk 3 aligns with the time scale 9 at the time of collection. For example, when collecting in the morning, the sector-shaped notch 14 can be aligned with morning, and then rotate and unscrew the sealing cover 2 to collect sputum using the sputum cup body 1. The scale markings 5 on the outer wall of the sputum cup body 1 can reflect the volume of the collected sputum;
[0034] The connecting groove 13 of the rotating disk 3 corresponds to the fixed shaft 10 of the sealing cover 2 and has the same size;
[0035] When the rotating disk 3 rotates, the connecting groove 13 rotates on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 10, and the limit shaft 11 plays a limiting role on the rotating disk 3 to avoid the situation that the rotating disk 3 detaches from the top end of the sealing cover 2.
[0036] Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely exemplary and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present utility model is limited to these examples; within the concept of the present utility model, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations in different aspects of the present utility model as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of brevity.
