Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the implementation of the present invention, not all of it. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a sputum sample collection and testing device, including a collection bottle body 1, a bottle mouth 11 is provided on the upper part of the collection bottle body 1, and the bottle mouth 11 is threadedly engaged with the bottle cap 2 to connect the bottle mouth 11 and the bottle cap 2; an annular extension portion 12 is provided at the bottom of the collection bottle body 1, and an annular groove 211 is provided on the bottle cap 2 to cooperate with the annular extension portion 12, and the annular extension portion 12 is threadedly engaged with the annular groove 211 to connect the bottle bottom and the bottle cap 2.
[0027] The utility model provides a sputum sample collection and testing device with a simple structure and easy use. The bottle cap can be connected to the bottle mouth and the bottle bottom at the same time, so that multiple sputum sample collection and testing devices of the same patient can be connected in sequence into a whole, which is convenient for subsequent identification, transportation and storage. There is no need for testers to pick out the samples one by one for testing, which saves time and greatly improves work efficiency. In addition, the thread is not exposed and will not cut hands when in use.
[0028] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the bottle cap 2 is a double-layer structure, including an upper cover 21 and a connecting cover 22. The upper cover 21 and the connecting cover 22 are detachably connected, and a penetrable layer 223 is provided in the middle of the cover body of the connecting cover 22. During inspection, the upper cover 21 and the connecting cover 22 are removed, and the penetrable layer 223 is directly punctured to take a sample.
[0029] The penetrable layer 223 is a tinfoil layer; the tinfoil layer is used to protect the sputum sample in the sputum sample collection bottle so that it will not be excessively exposed to air and cause contamination.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting cover 22 extends upward to form a first annular frame 221, which is threadedly engaged with the upper cover 21, and the connecting cover 22 extends downward to form a second annular frame 222, which is threadedly engaged with the bottle mouth 11. A penetrable layer 223 is provided at the middle opening of the connecting cover 22.
[0031] like Figure 3As shown, the second annular frame 222 is provided with a first internal thread, and the bottle mouth 11 is provided with a first external thread. The first internal thread and the first external thread cooperate to connect the bottle cap 2 and the bottle mouth 11; separate the connecting cap 22 and the bottle mouth 11 to collect the patient's sputum sample. After the collection is completed, the connecting cap 22 and the bottle mouth 11 are tightened to store the sample material. The second annular frame 222 is used to cooperate with the thread of the bottle mouth 11 to seal the bottle mouth 11 to prevent the sputum sample inside the bottle body 1 from spilling out. The thread structure is as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown in the extension 12, Figure 1-5 The jagged areas in the figure represent this structure.
[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the upper cover 21 includes an annular groove 211, a second external thread is provided in the annular groove 211, and a second internal thread is provided in the annular extension 12, and the second external thread cooperates with the second internal thread to connect the bottle cap 2 and the bottle bottom; by utilizing the thread cooperation between the upper cover 22 and the annular extension 12, multiple sputum sample collection and testing devices of the same patient are connected in sequence to form a whole, which is convenient for subsequent identification, transportation and storage of sputum sample collection and testing devices of different patients, avoiding confusion caused by centralized stacking of sputum sample collection and testing devices, difficulty in identification, and time-consuming sorting, which affects work efficiency.
[0033] like Figure 2-5 As shown, the upper cover 21 is provided with a third internal thread, and the first annular frame 221 is provided with a third external thread, and the third internal thread cooperates with the third external thread to connect the upper cover 21 and the connecting cover 22; when the sputum sample collection and testing device is transported to the laboratory, the inspector separates the third internal thread and the third external thread, that is, separates the upper cover 21 and the connecting cover 22, and directly absorbs the sputum sample in the bottle through the tin foil layer in the middle of the connecting cover 22 for testing. This avoids excessive contact of the sputum sample with the air, causing contamination and dumping of the sputum sample, and is also beneficial to protecting the environment of the laboratory department. The sputum sample is temporarily stored after being collected. Since the amount and time of specimens collected for different items are different, a conspicuous sticker can be pasted in the identification area, and the content can be handwritten on the sticker to remind the patient. For example, the medical staff writes on the sticker when the patient needs to spit into the collection bottle and how many milliliters of sputum should be retained in each collection bottle, so that the patient understands it more clearly.
[0034] like Figure 1-5As shown, the annular extension 12 is an annular structure provided at the bottom of the bottle, and the annular groove 211 is an annular structure that is recessed downward on the upper surface of the bottle cap 2. The diameter of the annular groove 211 is smaller than the diameter of the bottle mouth 11, so that when the bottle cap 2 is single-layered, the annular groove 211 can penetrate into the bottle mouth 11, saving external space. The diameter of the annular groove 211 is smaller than the diameter of the first annular frame 221, so that when the bottle cap 2 is double-layered, the annular groove 211 can penetrate into the first annular frame 221, saving space.
[0035] The collecting bottle body 1 is a cylindrical or truncated cone-shaped transparent bottle. Scale lines accurate to milliliters are provided on the outer surface of the collecting bottle body 1, which can display the volume of the liquid inside the collecting bottle body 1 for easy observation.
[0036] An identification area 3 is provided on the outer surface of the collection bottle body 1. The identification area 3 can be labeled. The label can display the patient's name, gender, age, bed number, sample name and other information. The label also includes a barcode. The barcode is used to verify identity and record process information. For example, after printing out the label, it is affixed to the identification area. When the labeled collection bottle is distributed to the patient, the medical staff scans the barcode on the label and the patient's wristband to bind the identity. After collecting the sputum sample, the transport personnel scans the code to receive the collection bottle with the collected sample. When the inspector of the laboratory department inspects the sputum sample, he needs to scan the code before inspecting it. This ensures that each process is recorded on the barcode, and the process information can be viewed by scanning the code.
[0037] The bottle cap 2 can be designed to be different colors to distinguish different specimen types, which is more eye-catching and convenient for identifying different patients, and also convenient for sorting by transport personnel. In one embodiment, the color of the bottle cap 2 can be distinguished according to the test items, and different test items use bottle caps 2 of different colors. For example, when a patient needs to be tested for three items, the medical staff will issue the patient three sputum sample collection and testing devices with bottle caps 2 of different colors. After collecting the patient's sputum sample, the sample is sent to the corresponding department for testing according to the color, which is convenient for sorting the sputum sample. It is only necessary to find the sputum sample collection and testing device with the bottle cap 2 of the corresponding color in the department.
[0038] The specific working process of this utility model is:
[0039] Stickers and labels are affixed to the identification area of the sputum sample collection bottle with different colored bottle caps 2, and the sputum collection time and volume information are written on the sticker, the barcode on the label is bound to the patient's identity, and the bottle is distributed to the patient. The patient separates the connecting cover 22 and the bottle mouth 11 to collect the sputum sample. After the collection is completed, the connecting cover 22 and the bottle mouth 11 are tightened, and multiple sputum sample collection and testing devices of the same patient are connected in sequence to form a whole, that is, the first upper cover 21 is connected to the first annular frame 221 of the first connecting cover 22, the second annular frame 222 of the first connecting cover 22 is connected to the bottle mouth 11 of the first collection bottle body 1, the bottom of the first collection bottle body 1 is connected to the second upper cover 21, and the second upper cover 21 is connected to the second connecting cover 22 The first annular frame 221 of the second connecting cover 22 is connected to the bottle mouth 11 of the second collecting bottle body 1, and the bottom of the second collecting bottle body 1 is connected to the third upper cover 21, and so on. By arranging threads on the upper and lower parts of the collecting bottle body 1, multiple sputum sample collection devices are connected as a whole, which is convenient for subsequent transportation and storage by transport personnel. The transport personnel scan the code to receive the sputum sample collection bottle containing sputum, separate the bottle cap 2 from the bottle bottom according to the different colors of the bottle cap 2, and send the separated single sputum sample to the corresponding department for inspection. The inspector scans the code and conducts the inspection, separates the upper cover 21 and the connecting cover 22, and directly penetrates the tin foil to take the sample for inspection. After the sample is taken, the sputum collection bottle is placed in the designated medical waste collection area.
[0040] If Figure 1 The single-layer bottle cap 2 shown in the figure is to affix stickers and labels on the identification area of the sputum sample collection bottle with different colored bottle caps 2, and write the sputum collection time and volume information on the sticker, bind the barcode on the label to the patient's identity, and distribute it to the patient. The patient separates the bottle cap 2 and the bottle mouth 11 to collect the sputum sample. After the collection is completed, the bottle cap 2 and the bottle mouth 11 are tightened, and multiple sputum sample collection and testing devices of the same patient are connected in sequence to form a whole, that is, the first bottle cap 2-the first bottle mouth 11-the first bottle bottom-the second bottle cap 2-the second bottle mouth 11-the second bottle bottom-the third bottle cap, and so on, to connect multiple sputum sample collection devices into a whole. The transport personnel scan the code to receive the sputum sample collection bottle containing sputum, separate the bottle cap 2 and the bottle bottom according to the different colors of the bottle caps 2, and send the separated single sputum sample to the corresponding department for inspection. The inspector scans the code and conducts the inspection, separates the bottle cap 2 and the bottle mouth 11 to take the sample for inspection, and after the sample is taken, the sputum collection bottle is placed in the designated medical waste collection area.
