DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the attached Figures 1 to 7 The embodiments are described in detail.

[0024] This embodiment provides a breath test gas collection device, as shown in the attached Figures 1-7 As shown, it includes an air storage structure for storing exhaled gas samples and a connecting disk 1 connected to the air inlet end of the air storage structure. The air storage structure consists of an air inlet pipe port 2, a connecting pipe 3 with a one-way valve inside, and an air storage bag 4. Four connecting pipes 3 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the air inlet pipe port 2, and the bottom end of each connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected to an air storage bag 4 for storing exhaled gas samples. Four through holes 5 are opened in the interior of the connecting disk 1 in the form of a ring array. The air inlet pipe port 2 is plugged into the bottom of the connecting disk 1, and the four connecting pipes 3 are respectively connected to the four through holes 5. 2 is provided with four independent circular holes in the form of a circular array on the top, and the four circular holes correspond to and are connected with the four connecting tubes 3 and the through hole 5 respectively. The inner diameters of the connecting tubes 3, the through hole 5 and the air outlet 9 are the same, which can ensure that the exhaled gas flows smoothly into the air storage bag 4 at the bottom. The inside of the four connecting tubes 3 is provided with a one-way valve for gas to flow from the through hole 5 to the air storage bag 4. Different batches of exhaled gas can be stored in each air storage bag 4 respectively. The one-way valve can ensure that the exhaled gas will not leak out after flowing into the air storage bag 4, so as to better store the gas exhaled by the test personnel.

[0025] The rotating structure for filtering interfering gas in the exhaled gas and adjusting the flow direction of the exhaled gas comprises a rotating ring 6, a filter block 7 and a sealing cover 8. The rotating ring 6 is rotationally connected to the top of the communicating disc 1, and the lower surface thereof is provided with an air outlet hole 9 at a position vertically corresponding to one of the through holes 5. The lower surface of the air outlet hole 9 is fixedly connected with a sealing ring 17. The top end of each of the four through holes 5 is fixedly connected with a rubber ring 18. The sealing ring 17 can abut against the corresponding rubber ring 18 to ensure the sealing performance of the connection between the air outlet hole 9 and the through hole 5. The lower surface of the rotating ring 6 is fixedly connected with a clamping ring 15. The upper surface of the communicating disc 1 is provided with a clamping groove 16 at a position corresponding to the clamping ring 15. The clamping ring 15 is rotationally connected to the inside of the clamping groove 16 and can rotate therein. By rotating the rotating ring 6, the air outlet hole 9 can be adjusted to correspond to different communicating pipes 3. In the embodiment, the number of the communicating pipes 4 is four. Therefore, by rotating the rotating ring 6 by 90 degrees each time, the air outlet hole 9 can accurately correspond to different communicating pipes 3. Marks can be made on the rotating ring 6 and the communicating disc 1 to facilitate accurate adjustment of the rotating ring 6. The sealing ring 17 and the rubber ring 18 are both flexible materials, such as rubber and silica gel. When the air outlet hole 9 corresponds to the communicating pipe 3, the sealing ring 17 at the bottom of the air outlet hole 9 can correspond to the corresponding rubber ring 18 below. Both of them are flexible structures, so they can abut against each other and fit tightly, ensuring good sealing performance at the contact position to prevent the exhaled gas from leaking from the gap.

[0026] The filter block 7 is filled in the inside of the rotating ring 6, and the sealing cover 8 is threadedly connected to the top of the rotating ring 6. The filter block 7 is a structure capable of absorbing interfering gas, which comprises an absorbing substance carrier and an absorbing substance for absorbing interfering gas, which is encapsulated in or adsorbed on the absorbing substance carrier. The absorbing substance carrier is a silica gel piece, an activated carbon piece, a non-woven fabric piece, a diatomite piece, a glass microbead piece, a porous ceramic piece, a porous stainless steel piece or a foamed carbon piece.

[0027] Further, the absorbing substance comprises any one or a combination of multiple of caustic soda, soda ash, a strong alkali or alkaline salt containing potassium, a strong alkali or alkaline salt containing lithium, sodium lime, calcium chloride, lime, montmorillonite, aluminum oxide, molecular sieve, palladium gold, magnesium sulfate and calcium sulfate.

[0028] Still further, the absorbing substance carrier adopts a honeycomb structure, a network structure, a sheet structure or a bag structure.

[0029] The gas flow structure for circulating the exhaled gas and the interference gas collecting structure for removing the cavity gas in the exhaled gas are also included, the gas flow structure comprises an inclined pipe 10 with an acute bending angle, a flow pipe 11 and a gas collecting cover 12, the inclined pipe 10 is threadedly connected to the top of the sealing cover 8 with the opening vertically downward and the opening downwardly inclined, the flow pipe 11 is communicated with the inclined pipe 10 and the rotating ring 6, the gas collecting cover 12 is threadedly connected to the top end of the flow pipe 11, the interference gas collecting structure comprises a collecting bag 13 and a gas outlet 14, the top end of the collecting bag 13 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the flow pipe 11 and is provided with a one-way valve inside the top end, and the one-way valve at the gas inlet end of the top of the collecting bag 13 is one-way communicated with the flow pipe 11.

[0030] The angle between the inclined pipe 10 and the flow pipe 11 is acute, the detecting personnel can tightly press the gas collecting cover 12 against the mouth and exhale the gas into the gas collecting cover 12, because the angle between the direction of the inclined pipe 10 and the flow direction of the exhaled gas is acute and the inner diameter of the inclined pipe 10 is smaller than that of the flow pipe 11, the exhaled gas will firstly enter the collecting bag 13 which is linearly communicated with the exhaled gas, and the just exhaled gas is generally the gas stored in the cavity, therefore the collecting bag 13 can firstly collect the cavity gas and ensure that the cavity gas will not flow back into the inclined pipe 11 under the action of the one-way valve, thereby playing the role of separately collecting the cavity gas in the exhaled gas; when the collecting bag 13 is filled with the exhaled gas, the subsequent exhaled gas of the detecting personnel will flow into the rotating ring 6 along the inclined pipe 11, the gas flowing into the rotating ring 6 will pass through the filter block 7 and continue to flow downwardly from the gas outlet 9, and the filter block 7 can filter the flowing gas, thereby removing part of the non-target gas in the exhaled gas.

[0031] The air outlet 14 is arranged in the middle of the side of the collecting bag 13, and the outside of the air outlet 14 is threadedly and sealingly connected with a cap 19 for discharging the interfering gas in the collecting bag 13. Since the collecting bag 13 is filled with the exhaled gas when the exhaled gas is collected for the first time, when it is necessary to collect the exhaled gas sample for multiple times, the cap 19 can be opened before the exhaled gas is collected for the second time, the collecting bag 13 is squeezed, the gas in the collecting bag 13 is discharged, the collecting bag 13 is restored to the contracted state, then the cap 19 is screwed again, and then the rotating ring 6 is rotated by 90 degrees, so that the air outlet 9 is communicated with another gas storage bag 4 without storing the exhaled gas. The detector blows the gas into the gas collecting cover 12 again, and the above gas collecting operation is repeated. The just exhaled cavity gas is still stored in the collecting bag 13, and the subsequent exhaled gas is flowed from the inclined pipe 10, through the rotating ring 6 and into the corresponding gas storage bag 4 from the air outlet 9, so as to complete the collection of another batch of exhaled gas. The detector can store the exhaled gas in different gas storage bags 4 at different time periods, so as to be more conducive to storing the exhaled gas samples of different time periods in batches, and further improve the accuracy of the detection result of the exhaled gas.

[0032] The gas storage bags 4 and the collecting bag 13 are in the contracted state when not in use, and the sides close to each other of the four gas storage bags 4 can be bonded to each other to form an integral whole, which is convenient to take.

[0033] In some other embodiments of the present application, the components connected between the rotating ring 6, the sealing cover 8, the inclined pipe 10, the flow pipe 11 and the gas collecting cover 12 are fixedly connected or detachably connected, and the through hole 5 in the flow disc 1 and the communication pipe 3 and the gas storage bag 4 below it can be arranged as one or at least two according to the requirement.

[0034] If the scheme of one gas storage bag 4 is adopted, the communication pipe 3 and the air outlet 9 can be arranged at the center of the communication disc 1 and the rotating ring 6 respectively, and the other structures are the same. The scheme can also play the role of excluding the non-target gas in the exhaled gas, but compared with the original scheme, the scheme can only collect the exhaled gas once, and when it is necessary to collect the exhaled gas for multiple times, the gas storage bag 4 with the collected gas needs to be removed and replaced with a new gas storage bag 4.

[0035] If the scheme of at least two gas storage bags 4 is adopted, as in the original scheme, a plurality of through holes 5 and communication pipes 3 can be arranged in the form of a ring array respectively at the inside and bottom of the communication disc 1, and the circular holes in the gas inlet pipe 2 corresponding to the communication pipes 3 are ensured not to interfere with each other, so that each communication pipe 3 can be in communication with its corresponding through hole to form a closed pipeline. The rotating radius of the center of the gas outlet hole 10 at the bottom of the rotating ring 6 is the same as the distance between the center of the through hole 5 and the center of the communication disc 1, which can ensure that the gas outlet hole 9 can correspond to different through holes 5 when the rotating ring 6 is rotated, so that different schemes can be adopted according to specific conditions. The scheme of using multiple gas storage bags 4 can increase the number of collected exhaled gas samples, thereby facilitating the collection of multiple groups of exhaled gas samples at different time periods.

[0036] The above is only for the purpose of illustrating the present application, and it should be understood that the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications in accordance with the spirit of the present application are within the scope of the present application.
