Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of saliva collection, in particular to a saliva treatment device. Background Art

[0002] Human saliva is a colorless mixture secreted by oral glands and has many functions such as lubricating the oral cavity, assisting digestion, and maintaining oral microbial balance. With the continuous development of salivary proteomics, rich material resources in the oral cavity, such as proteins, metabolites, and microorganisms, can be used as important biomarkers for predicting and diagnosing some oral diseases, tumors, and other systemic diseases, which is extremely important for the prevention and early diagnosis of related diseases.

[0003] Currently, a saliva sample is obtained by having the sampled person directly spit it into a container. However, during the sampling process, the small diameter of the existing collection device makes it easy to spit saliva outside the collection device. There are a collection port and a drainage port on both sides of the collection device, and sealing caps are respectively buckled on the collection port and the drainage port. However, in actual operation, the sealing caps may be lost, resulting in the saliva collected being exposed for a long time and being contaminated. Moreover, during the sampling process, it must be collected by the hands of the person being sampled, and the hands are prone to shaking, which is also likely to cause the saliva sample to spill and be contaminated, and it also brings inconvenience to the actual operation of the sampler. At the same time, impurities and food residues in the saliva will interfere with the later detection results, resulting in a large error in the final detection result of the saliva. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a saliva treatment device to solve the problem that the saliva treatment device is prone to spilling during the process of collecting saliva in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve this purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: The utility model provides a saliva treatment device, including a base, a collection component, and a funnel. An insertion hole is formed on the base, and the axis of the insertion hole is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base. The drainage end of the collection component is inserted into the insertion hole, and the other end of the collection component is provided with a collection port. A cannula is formed at the tip of the funnel, and the cannula is inserted into the collection port. The funnel is in a horn shape.

[0006] Preferably, the collection component includes a plug and a collection tube. One end of the collection tube is formed with a drainage tube, and the drainage tube communicates the collection tube with the outside. The plug is inserted into the mouth of the drainage tube, and the plug is connected to the tube body of the collection tube through a connecting rope. The plug is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0007] Preferably, the other end of the collection tube is provided with the collection port, and a cover body is rotatably connected to the edge of the collection port. A clamping end is formed on the cover body, and a clamping ring is further formed on the edge of the collection port. The clamping end is inserted into the clamping ring.

[0008] Preferably, a filter membrane is installed on one side of the collection tube close to the drain pipe.

[0009] Preferably, scale lines are engraved on the wall of the collection tube, and the lower end of the scale line is flush with the filter membrane.

[0010] Preferably, a frosted area is formed on the wall of the collection tube.

[0011] Preferably, a piston is inserted into the collection tube, and the piston slides perpendicular to the axis of the collection tube.

[0012] Beneficial effects: By inserting the collection component into the insertion hole on the base, the collection component is inverted perpendicular to the base, so that the collection port can face upward. It is not necessary for the collection personnel to hold the collection component with both hands, reducing the risk of spillage. At the same time, by inserting a funnel into the collection port and spitting saliva into the funnel, since the opening of the funnel is large, the saliva-receiving area of the collection component is increased, reducing the probability of saliva spitting outside and avoiding saliva spillage.

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. In addition, it should be noted that for the sake of description, only parts related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, rather than all the structures.

[0018] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "connected", "connected to", and "fixed" shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral body; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0019] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include the direct contact between the first and second features, or may include the situation where the first and second features are not in direct contact but in contact through other features therebetween. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over", and "on top of" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature being "below", "beneath", and "underneath" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.

[0020] In the description of this embodiment, the orientation or positional relationships such as "above", "below", "right", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplifying the operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and do not have special meanings.

[0021] In the prior art, when collecting saliva, the operator needs to hold the saliva collection device with both hands. Since the diameter of the collection port of the existing saliva collection device is small and the hands are prone to shaking, it will cause the phenomenon of saliva spilling and wasting. When the saliva is spit out to the outside for collection, the saliva will be contaminated and the environment will also be polluted.

[0022] To solve the above problems, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the present utility model provides a saliva treatment device, which includes a base 1, a collection assembly 3, and a funnel 2. A plug hole is formed on the base 1, and the axis of the plug hole is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base 1. The liquid-discharging end of the collection assembly 3 is plugged into the plug hole, and the other end of the collection assembly 3 is provided with a collection port 35. A cannula is formed at the tip of the funnel 2, and the cannula is plugged into the collection port 35. The funnel 2 is in a flared shape.

[0023] Insert the discharge end of the collecting component 3 into the plug hole, fix the collecting component 3 through the base 1, and place the collecting component 3 upside down on the base 1 without manual holding. Since the base 1 is trapezoidal, it can support the collecting component 3 and place the base 1 on the desktop to prevent the collecting component 3 from shaking. This can also reduce the phenomenon of spilling during the collection of saliva by the collecting component 3 and reduce the probability of saliva polluting the environment.

[0024] At the same time, a funnel 2 is set on one side of the collection port 35. The mouth of the sampled person abuts against one end of the trumpet-shaped opening of the funnel 2, and then spits out saliva, which can increase the collection area of the collection component 3 and prevent the sampled person from spitting saliva to the outside and causing spillage, thereby reducing the probability of contaminating the sampling area, and the saliva finally flows into the collection tube 31.

[0025] The collecting assembly 3 of the present invention comprises a plug 32 and a collecting tube 31. A drainage tube 33 is formed at one end of the collecting tube 31. The drainage tube 33 connects the collecting tube 31 with the outside. The plug 32 is plugged into the mouth of the drainage tube 33. The plug 32 is connected to the body of the collecting tube 31 through a connecting rope 34. The plug 32 is plugged into the plug hole.

[0026] When the collecting component 3 is collecting, the plug 32 is plugged into one side of the tube mouth of the discharge tube 33. If the collecting component 3 needs to discharge the internal saliva to the outside, the plug 32 needs to be removed. However, since the plug 32 is connected to the tube body through the connecting rope 34, the plug 32 will not be lost. When the discharge tube 33 needs to be closed, the plug 32 on the connecting rope 34 can be directly taken out for sealing, so as to avoid the plug 32 being lost, so that the discharge tube 33 can be quickly closed, thereby preventing the saliva sample in the tube body from being contaminated.

[0027] The other end of the collecting pipe 31 of the present invention is provided with a collecting port 35 , at the edge of which a cover body 36 is rotatably connected, a clamping end 37 is formed on the cover body 36 , and a clamping ring 38 is also formed at the edge of the collecting port 35 , and the clamping end 37 is inserted into the clamping ring 38 .

[0028] The cover body 36 rotates so that the clamping end 37 is inserted into the clamping ring 38, and then the cover body 36 can be covered on the collecting port 35, so that the staff can quickly seal the saliva after collecting the saliva to avoid contamination by the internal saliva. At the same time, when it is necessary to collect saliva, the clamping end 37 is directly pushed to disengage the clamping end 37 from the clamping ring 38, so that one side of the cover body 36 is separated from one side of the collecting port 35, so that the cover body 36 can rotate freely. Moreover, since the cover body 36 is rotatably connected to the collecting port 35, the probability of losing the cover body 36 is reduced, and then the cover body 36 can be sealed on the collecting port 35 at any time.

[0029] Since food residue will remain in saliva, in order to filter the food residue, a filter membrane 4 is installed on the side of the collection tube 31 close to the drain tube 33. Usually, the pore size of the filter membrane 4 is 0.45 μm. The filter membrane 4 can intercept the food residue and filter the saliva, making the saliva discharged along the drain tube 33 purer and reducing the influence of food residue on the saliva test result.

[0030] Scale lines 5 are engraved on the wall of the collection tube 31. The lower end of the scale lines 5 is flush with the filter membrane 4. The scale lines 5 on the tube wall are flush with the filter membrane 4 and gradually increase along one side of the collection port 35. In this way, the collection volume of saliva can be directly observed, making the collection volume of saliva more intuitive.

[0031] A frosted area is formed on the wall of the collection tube 31. The frosted area is the marking area for a marker pen. When the marker pen writes in the frosted area, the handwriting can be retained for a long time, reducing the probability of the handwriting being erased after contacting with external objects, making the adhesion ability of the marker pen handwriting stronger. In this way, it is convenient to mark different collection tubes 31 and facilitate the medical staff to distinguish them.

[0032] A piston 6 is inserted into the collection tube 31 of the present utility model. The piston 6 slides perpendicular to the axis of the collection tube 31. Through the above piston 6, saliva can be quickly pressed through the filter membrane 4 into the drain tube 33, and the saliva can be sub-packed according to different experimental requirements.

[0033] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present utility model are only examples for clearly explaining the present utility model, and are not limitations on the implementation manners of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present utility model. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present utility model.
