Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sputum transport technology, and in particular relates to a tuberculosis sputum sample transport device. Background Technology

[0002] Tuberculosis, also known as consumption, is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis can invade various organs of the body, with pulmonary tuberculosis being the most common. The manifestations vary depending on the location of invasion. In tuberculosis testing, the collection, transportation, and storage of sputum specimens are crucial. Sputum, as one of the non-invasive pathogenic specimens, is easy to collect and constitutes a large proportion of hospital microbiological specimens. Through microbial identification and drug sensitivity testing of sputum, doctors can identify the pathogenic microorganisms causing respiratory infections, thereby enabling targeted anti-inflammatory treatment.

[0003] Currently, the transport of sputum samples usually relies on traditional containers and transport methods. During the transport process, some degree of tilting is inevitable, and the sample tubes will shake. This may cause the liquid sample to collide with the sample tubes due to large back-and-forth shaking in the container, or cause the sample tubes to be damaged and sputum to spill out. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tuberculosis sputum sample transport device with a simple structure that improves the stability of test tube transport.

[0005] The tuberculosis sputum sample transport device includes a horizontally arranged box with a hinged lid that rotates back and forth. A fixing plate is horizontally fixed inside the box, and the fixing plate has several vertically connected limiting holes. Test tubes are independently inserted into the limiting holes, and tube caps are detachably installed on the upper end of the test tubes. Negative pressure tubes and suction tubes are vertically inserted into the tube caps. Control components for controlling the opening and closing of the test tubes are provided on the tube caps. A fixing component for fixing the test tubes inside the box is provided at the top inside the lid.

[0006] Furthermore, the control component includes a cover plate, which is horizontally disposed on the top of the tube cap. The cover plate has two through holes communicating with the suction tube and the negative pressure tube. An extension plate is fixed on the outer wall of the tube cap, and a limiting groove for inserting the extension plate is provided on the inner wall of the cover plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a pressure plate, which is horizontally disposed inside the box cover. A spring is installed between the box cover and the pressure plate. In its natural state, the pressure plate presses against the cover.

[0008] Furthermore, a first pad is horizontally fixed to the bottom of the pressure plate, a second pad is horizontally fixed to the bottom of the box, the lower end of the test tube is set on the top of the second pad, and the first pad is pressed tightly onto the cover plate.

[0009] Furthermore, vertical grooves are provided on the front and rear inner sidewalls of the box, and sliders are independently provided in each groove, with the sliders fixed to the front and rear ends of the pressure plate respectively.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] This embodiment describes a tuberculosis sputum sample transport device, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the box includes a horizontally arranged box 6, with a box cover 1 that can rotate back and forth hinged to the top of the box 6. The rear end of the box cover 1 is hinged to the top of the rear side wall of the box 6 by a hinge. One end of the hinge is fixed to the upper end of the rear side wall of the box 6 by a screw, and the other end of the hinge is fixed to the rear side wall of the box cover 1 by a screw. The movable box cover 1 facilitates the opening and closing of the box 6 and protects the test tubes stored in the box 6 from collisions during transportation.

[0023] A fixing plate 8 is horizontally fixed inside the box 6. The left end of the fixing plate 8 is fixed to the left inner side wall of the box 6, and the right end is fixed to the right inner side wall of the box 6.

[0024] The fixed plate 8 has several vertically connected limiting holes, and test tubes 9 are independently inserted into the limiting holes. The limiting holes are opened on the fixed plate 8, and the test tubes are vertically inserted into the limiting holes and neatly arranged to avoid collisions between adjacent test tubes during transportation.

[0025] The test tube 9 has a detachable cap 16 at the top, which facilitates the removal of sputum when it is sent for testing.

[0026] A negative pressure tube 19 and a suction tube 18 are vertically inserted into the tube cap 16. The tube cap 16 has two through holes that are connected vertically. The upper ends of the negative pressure tube 19 and the suction tube 18 are fixed in the through holes respectively. The negative pressure tube of the negative pressure device is connected to the negative pressure tube 19 to provide power for suctioning. The suction tube 18 is connected to the endotracheal tube. After the sputum passes through the endotracheal tube and the suction tube 18, it is stored in the test tube 9.

[0027] A cover plate 7 is horizontally mounted on the top of the tube cap 16, and the cover plate 7 fits tightly against the top of the tube cap 16 to reduce the gap between the cover plate 7 and the tube cap 16. Two through holes 20 are provided on the cover plate 7, communicating with the suction tube 18 and the negative pressure tube 19 respectively. When the cover plate 7 is rotated to communicate with the two tubes, the external catheter is used for suctioning. After suctioning, the cover plate 7 is rotated to offset the through holes 20 from the two tubes, sealing the test tube 9 and preventing sputum from overflowing from the test tube 9. An extension plate 1 is fixed to the outer wall of the tube cap 16. 7. The extension plate 17 has a ring-shaped structure and is horizontally fixed to the side wall of the tube cap 16. A limiting groove for inserting the extension plate 17 is provided on the inner side wall of the cap 7. The limiting groove has a ring-shaped structure. The extension plate 17 is inserted into the limiting groove, causing the cap 7 to rotate on top of the tube cap 16. This entire section constitutes a control assembly for controlling the opening and closing of the test tube 9. When in use, the control assembly controls the position of the through hole 20 and the two tubes by rotating the cap 7 on the tube cap 16, thus controlling the opening and closing of the test tube 9. Figure 4 As shown, test tube 9 is now connected to an external pipe, as indicated. Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the cover plate 7 closes the test tube 9 to prevent sputum from spilling out during transport; of course, in the control assembly, the diameter of the through hole 20 on the cover plate 7 is larger than the inner diameter of the two tubes, so that the external catheter can be inserted into the through hole 20 and connected to the suction tube 18 and the negative pressure tube 19.

[0028] A pressure plate 2 is horizontally arranged inside the box cover 1. A spring 4 is installed between the box cover 1 and the pressure plate 2. The upper end of the spring 4 is fixed to the inner top of the box cover 1, and the lower end of the spring 4 is fixed to the top of the pressure plate 2. In its natural state, the pressure plate 2 presses against the cover plate 7. The spring 4 continuously pushes the pressure plate 2 downward, pressing the upper end of the test tube 9 and fixing the test tube 9 in the limiting hole of the fixing plate 8. This section as a whole constitutes a fixing assembly that fixes the test tube 9 in the box body 6. When in use, the lid 1 is fastened to the top of the box body 6, and the pressure plate 2 is continuously pushed downward by the spring 4 to press the test tube 9 tightly inside the box body 6. Of course, the fixing component can also install baffles on the side wall of the lid 1 to block the pressure plate 2. When the lid 1 is in the open state, the movement of the pressure plate 2 is restricted by the baffles on both sides of the lid 1, so that the pressure plate 2 is in the closed state. When the lid 1 is fastened to the top of the box body 6, the baffles are removed, and the spring 4 pushes the pressure plate 2 to press the top of the test tube 9.

[0029] In this embodiment, the empty test tube 9 is taken out, the negative pressure tube of the negative pressure device is connected to the negative pressure tube 19, and the endotracheal tube is connected to the suction tube 18. Sputum is collected in the test tube 9 through the suction tube 18. The test tube 9 is closed by the control component to prevent the test tube from shaking during transportation and causing sputum to spill out. After the sputum is collected, the test tube 9 is inserted into the limiting hole of the fixing plate 8, the box cover 1 is closed, and the test tube 9 is fixed in the box 6 by the fixing component to prevent adjacent test tubes 9 from colliding during transportation. The test tubes stored in the box 6 are protected by the box 6 and the box cover 1.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first pad 3 is horizontally fixed at the bottom of the pressure plate 2, and a second pad 10 is horizontally fixed at the bottom of the inner side of the box 6. The lower end of the test tube 9 is set on the top of the second pad 10. The first pad 3 is pressed tightly on the cover plate 7. The two pads are respectively set at the upper and lower ends of the test tube 9. Both pads are made of rubber or sponge. The soft pads separate the test tube 9 from the pressure plate 2 and the bottom of the inner side of the box 6, which improves the limiting effect on the test tube 9 and can also prevent the test tube 9 from breaking.

[0032] Example 3

[0033] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the box 6 are vertically provided with sliding grooves 5. Each sliding groove 5 is independently provided with a slider. The sliders are fixed to the front and rear ends of the pressure plate 2 respectively. There are two sliding grooves 5, which are respectively opened on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the box 6. The sliding grooves 5 are opened along the height direction of the box 6. By limiting the sliders through the sliding grooves 5, the pressure plate 2 can only slide up and down along the length direction of the sliding groove 5 when it moves. This is used to regulate the movement direction of the pressure plate 2 and prevent the tilted pressure plate 2 from crushing the test tube 9.

[0034] Example 4

[0035] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 2 As shown, a base plate 13 is horizontally fixed to the front side wall of the box 6. A fixing ring 12 is horizontally installed above the base plate 13 via a connecting rod 14. The upper end of the connecting rod 14 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing ring 12, and the lower end of the connecting rod 14 is fixed to the top of the base plate 13. The inner diameter of the fixing ring 12 is larger than the diameter of the test tube 9. There are at least two connecting rods 14. The base plate 13, the connecting rod 14, and the fixing ring 12 together form a test tube sleeve. When suctioning sputum, the test tube 9 is taken out and placed into the fixing ring 12.

[0036] A negative pressure device 15 is installed on the box 6 on the left side of the base plate 13. The negative pressure end of the negative pressure device 15 is connected to the negative pressure tube 19 to provide power for suctioning.

[0037] In this embodiment, the test tube 9 is removed and placed into the fixing ring 12, the negative pressure tube 19 is connected to the negative pressure end of the negative pressure device 15, and the suction tube 18 is connected to the endotracheal tube to suction sputum from the patient.

[0038] Example 5

[0039] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 As shown, a buckle 11 is installed on the front side wall of the box cover 1, and a matching slot is opened on the front side wall of the box body 6. When the box cover 1 is fastened to the top of the box body 6, the buckle 11 is inserted into the slot on the front side wall of the box body 6 to fix the box cover 1 to the box body 6.
