Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fecal detection technology, and in particular to a novel fecal collection container. Background Technology

[0002] Routine stool testing is a common basic examination in hospitals, and it is of great significance for the diagnosis and screening of various diseases. By detecting various components in stool, it is possible to assess whether the digestive system organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and gallbladder are functioning normally, which helps in the diagnosis of various diseases, such as intestinal infectious diseases (e.g., bacterial dysentery, amoebic dysentery, etc.), parasitic infections (e.g., roundworms, tapeworms, etc.), digestive system tumors (e.g., colon cancer, rectal cancer, etc.), and liver and gallbladder diseases (e.g., jaundice). During stool testing, stool collection containers are often used to collect stool samples for easy testing.

[0003] In our daily work, we have found that most fecal collection containers on the market use the traditional rotary-opening technology, which is extremely inconvenient to use, especially when testing large quantities of feces. It requires repeated opening and closing of the lid, and after opening the lid, the fecal odor is strong, which may cause the fecal sample to spill out and contaminate gloves or other samples, resulting in overall inconvenience in operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as inconvenience in use and easy leakage of feces, and to propose a new type of feces collection container.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a novel fecal collection container, comprising a collection tube, a connector fixedly connected to the surface of the collection tube, a cap threadedly connected to the surface of the connector, an auxiliary device provided on the surface of the cap, the auxiliary device including a sampling hole opened on the surface of the cap, a secondary cap rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cap, a pusher fixedly connected to the surface of the secondary cap, a positioning part provided between the secondary cap and the cap, a protective film fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cap, and a collection spoon fixedly connected to the inner wall of the secondary cap. With the above components, during fecal analysis, it is only necessary to open the secondary cap through the positioning part, insert a skewer through the sampling hole, then pierce the protective film to collect the sample. After the test is completed, simply close the secondary cap. This is suitable for large-scale fecal testing, reduces repeated opening and closing of the cap, prevents fecal contamination, simplifies the operation process, and the protective film also reduces fecal leakage.

[0006] Preferably, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the surface of the secondary cover, and the sealing gasket is inserted into the inner wall of the sampling hole. Through the above-mentioned components, when the secondary cover is closed, the sealing gasket can be driven into the sampling hole to improve the sealing effect.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning part includes a limiting block fixed on the surface of the cap, a locking block slidably connected to the inner wall of the push block, the locking block engaging with the inner wall of the limiting block, and a push rod fixedly connected to the surface of the locking block, the push rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the push block. Through the above components, the push rod, in conjunction with the locking block, can control the locking block to engage with the inner wall of the limiting block, thereby achieving the positioning of the sub-cap.

[0008] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to one side of the locking block corresponding to the inner wall of the push block. There are two springs. Through the above-mentioned components, the springs can push the locking block to reset, ensuring that the locking block can be stably locked into the inner wall of the limiting block, thereby improving stability.

[0009] Preferably, the sampling hole and protective film on the surface of the cap are located in the exact center of the cap.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the collection tube is provided with a stabilizing device. The stabilizing device includes an external thread formed on the surface of the collection tube. The external thread on the surface of the collection tube is threadedly connected to a threaded sleeve. Three stabilizing blocks are fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded sleeve. With the above components, when the collection tube is placed in the test tube rack, the threaded sleeve can be rotated. The threaded sleeve and the stabilizing blocks can contact the test tube rack, reducing the left and right swaying of the test tube rack. At the same time, after the threaded sleeve and the stabilizing blocks are rotated to a certain position, the threaded sleeve and the stabilizing blocks can support the collection tube independently, improving the overall stability.

[0011] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the stabilizing block is arranged in a right-angled triangle.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, by setting up an auxiliary device, the sampling hole, the secondary cover, the positioning part and the protective film cooperate with each other to reduce the need for large-volume fecal testing and repeated opening and closing of the cover, thereby reducing fecal contamination, simplifying the operation process and improving the overall ease of use. At the same time, it also reduces the risk of strong fecal odor and fecal overflow contaminating gloves or other samples when the cover is opened.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, by setting a stabilizing device, the collection tube can be placed upright at any time by means of the threaded sleeve and the stabilizing block in the absence of a special placement rack, without the need to find additional support equipment, saving space and time, and making it convenient for medical staff or laboratory personnel to operate at any time. When placed in the placement rack, the threaded sleeve and the stabilizing block can improve the stability of the collection tube. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel fecal collection container, including a collection pipe 1, a connector 3 fixedly connected to the surface of the collection pipe 1, a cap 2 threadedly connected to the surface of the connector 3, and an auxiliary device 4 provided on the surface of the cap 2.

[0024] Specifically, the auxiliary device 4 includes a sampling hole 45 opened on the surface of the cap 2, a secondary cover 41 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cap 2, a push block 42 fixedly connected to the surface of the secondary cover 41, a positioning part 43 provided between the secondary cover 41 and the cap 2, a protective film 46 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cap 2, and a collection spoon 47 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the secondary cover 41.

[0025] In this embodiment: When performing fecal analysis, it is only necessary to open the secondary cover 41 through the positioning part 43, pass the skewer through the sampling hole 45, and then pierce the protective film 46 to pick up the sample. After the test is completed, it is only necessary to close the secondary cover 41. This method is suitable for large-scale fecal testing, reduces the need to repeatedly turn the knob to open the cover, prevents fecal contamination, simplifies the operation process, and the protective film 46 also reduces fecal leakage.

[0026] Specifically, a sealing gasket 44 is fixedly connected to the surface of the secondary cover 41. The sealing gasket 44 is inserted into the inner wall of the sampling hole 45. When the secondary cover 41 is closed, the sealing gasket 44 can be inserted into the sampling hole 45 to improve the sealing effect.

[0027] Specifically, the positioning part 43 includes a limiting block 431 fixed on the surface of the cap 2, a locking block 432 slidably connected to the inner wall of the push block 42, the locking block 432 engaging with the inner wall of the limiting block 431, and a push rod 433 fixedly connected to the surface of the locking block 432, the push rod 433 slidably connected to the inner wall of the push block 42.

[0028] In this embodiment: the push rod 433 cooperates with the locking block 432 to control the locking block 432 to be locked into the inner wall of the limiting block 431, thereby achieving the positioning of the sub-cover 41.

[0029] Specifically, a spring 434 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the locking block 432 corresponding to the inner wall of the push block 42. There are two springs 434. The springs 434 can push the locking block 432 to reset, ensuring that the locking block 432 can be stably locked into the inner wall of the limiting block 431, thereby improving stability.

[0030] Specifically, the sampling hole 45 and the protective film 46 on the surface of the cap 2 are located in the exact center of the cap 2.

[0031] Specifically, a stabilizing device 5 is provided on the surface of the collecting pipe 1. The stabilizing device 5 includes an external thread 51 on the surface of the collecting pipe 1. A threaded sleeve 52 is threadedly connected to the external thread 51 on the surface of the collecting pipe 1. Three stabilizing blocks 53 are fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded sleeve 52 at equal intervals.

[0032] In this embodiment: after the collection tube 1 is placed in the test tube rack, the threaded sleeve 52 can be rotated. The threaded sleeve 52, together with the stabilizing block 53, can contact the test tube rack, reducing the left and right swaying of the test tube rack. At the same time, after the threaded sleeve 52 and the stabilizing block 53 are rotated to a certain position, the threaded sleeve 52 and the stabilizing block 53 can support the collection tube 1 independently, improving the overall stability.

[0033] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the stabilizing block 53 is arranged in a right-angled triangle.

[0034] Working principle: When collecting fecal samples, the feces are first collected in the collection tube 1 using the cap 2 and the collection spoon 47. Then, the cap 2 is threadedly connected to the connector 3 to achieve a seal. When fecal testing is required, simply push the two push rods 433 of the push block 42. The push rods 433 move the locking block 432, causing it to lose contact with the inner wall of the limiting block 431. The spring 434 deforms under pressure, and then the push block 42 rotates the secondary cover 41, removing its obstruction of the sampling hole 45. A skewer is then inserted into the sampling hole 45, piercing through... The protective film 46 is used to pick up samples for testing. After the test is completed, the secondary cover 41 needs to be closed. It is suitable for large-scale fecal testing, reducing the need for repeated knob opening and closing, preventing fecal contamination, and simplifying the operation process. When the collection tube 1 needs to be placed on the table, simply rotate the threaded sleeve 52 and the stabilizing block 53 to a certain position. The threaded sleeve 52 and the stabilizing block 53 can support the collection tube 1 independently. When placed on the rack, rotate the threaded sleeve 52. The threaded sleeve 52 and the stabilizing block 53 can contact the test tube rack, reducing the left and right swaying of the test tube rack and improving the overall stability.
