If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0029] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] Existing devices typically place test tubes containing urine and feces specimens in a specimen box, which contains protective structures such as foam and sponge to prevent the test tubes from breaking. The specimen box is then moved to transport the test tubes.
[0031] In related technologies, during the handling process, the transport box may shake or be subjected to external impacts, causing internal vibrations. Existing devices do not effectively protect the test tubes, which can easily lead to the risk of test tube breakage and has certain limitations.
[0032] To address some of the problems in related technologies, this application provides a urine and stool specimen collection device. The user controls the placement plate 12 and placement slot 13 to rise to a position level with the upper edge of the housing 11 using the lifting assembly 21. The user then uses their thumb and forefinger to press the two side levers 243, moving them along with the moving rod 241 to the sides. This causes the clamping arms 245 to move to the sides, exposing the central space. The medical staff then places the test tube into the placement slot 13 with their other hand and releases the control of the moving rod 241. Under the elastic force of the damping spring 242, the clamping arms 245 quickly return to their original position, clamping and fixing the exposed upper part of the test tube. Medical staff can use this method... After placing all the specimen tubes into the placement slot 13, the lifting assembly 21 is used to control the placement plate 12 to move downwards into the box 11. The user then closes the box lid 14 to seal the box 11 and the internal test tubes. The user picks up the placement device 1 and moves it to another location for testing and other operations. During the transportation process, the box 11 and its internal test tubes will be shaken. When the placement plate 12 is vibrated, the placement plate 12 presses the connecting rod 234 through its bottom fixing block 235. After the connecting rod 234 moves down, it squeezes the slider 233. The slider 233 is squeezed on the sliding rod 231 and moves to squeeze the damping spring 232. Under the shock absorption effect of the damping spring 232, the vibration of the placement plate 12 is reduced.
[0033] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0034] Combination Figures 1-4This application provides a urine and feces specimen collection device, including a placement device 1; the placement device 1 includes: a placement plate 12 disposed inside a housing 11, a placement groove 13 disposed on the placement plate 12, and a housing cover 14 disposed on the housing 11; the placement device 1 is provided with an adjustment device 2, the adjustment device 2 including: a lifting assembly 21 disposed on the housing 11; a lifting plate 22 slidably disposed inside the housing 11; and a housing 23 disposed on the lifting plate 22, the housing 23 being provided with a sliding rod 231 and a damping spring. 232, a slider 233 is slidably mounted on the sliding rod 231, a connecting rod 234 is rotatably mounted on the slider 233, a fixing block 235 is mounted at the bottom of the placement plate 12, and the other end of the connecting rod 234 is rotatably connected to the fixing block 235; fixed posts 24 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the placement groove 13, a moving rod 241 is through the fixed post 24, a lever 243 is mounted on the moving rod 241, a damping spring 242 is sleeved on the moving rod 241, and clamping arms 245 are symmetrically arranged at the head of the moving rod 241.
[0035] After removing the urine and stool samples, medical staff placed them in test tubes containing formalin solution. They then removed the placement device 1, opened the lid 14 to expose the internal placement plate 12 and placement slot 13. The user controlled the lifting assembly 21 to raise the placement plate 12 and placement slot 13 to a position level with the upper edge of the box 11. The user then used their thumb and forefinger to press the two side levers 243, moving them along with the moving rod 241 to the sides. This caused the clamping arms 245 to move to the sides, exposing the central space. The medical staff then placed the test tubes into the placement slot 13 with their other hand and released the control of the moving rod 241. Under the elastic force of the damping spring 242, the clamping arms 245 quickly returned to their original position, clamping and fixing the exposed upper part of the test tubes. The medical staff used this method to place all the specimen test tubes into the placement slot 1. After step 3, the lifting assembly 21 is used to control the placement plate 12 to move downwards into the box 11. The user then closes the box cover 14 to seal the box 11 and the internal test tubes. The user picks up the placement device 1 and moves it to another location for testing and other operations. During the transportation process, the box 11 and the internal test tubes will be shaken. When the placement plate 12 is vibrated, the placement plate 12 presses the connecting rod 234 through its bottom fixing block 235. After the connecting rod 234 moves down, it squeezes the slider 233. The slider 233 is squeezed on the sliding rod 231 and moves to squeeze the damping spring 232. Under the shock absorption effect of the damping spring 232, the vibration of the placement plate 12 is reduced, and the vibration of the test tubes on the placement plate 12 is reduced. Combined with the clamping and fixing effect of the clamping arm 245, the stability of the test tubes on the placement plate 12 is improved.
[0036] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 21 includes: a rod 211 rotatably mounted on the housing 11; a screw barrel 213 rotatably mounted inside the housing 11, the screw barrel 213 and the rod 211 being meshed together via a bevel gear set 212; and a screw 214 threaded onto the screw barrel 213, with the top of the screw 214 fixedly connected to the lifting plate 22. When the user controls the rod 211 to rotate clockwise, the meshing of the bevel gear set 212 causes the screw barrel 213 to rotate clockwise (the bevel gear set 212 consists of two meshing bevel gears). Therefore, the screw barrel 213 is controlled to rotate clockwise, and the screw 214 extends along the screw barrel 213 to control the lifting plate 22 to rise. The lifting plate 22 controls the rise of all components above it. When the user controls the rod 211 to rotate counterclockwise, the lifting plate 22 is controlled to descend. The lifting assembly 21 has a simple structure and is easy to use, facilitating the user's access to and from the test tubes on the placement plate 12.
[0037] In some embodiments, a knob 215 is provided on the rod 211, and the knob 215 is provided with an external thread. The user controls the rotation of the rod 211 by the knob 215. The knob 215 provides a point of force for the user, and the external thread on the knob 215 increases the friction with the user's hand, making it easier for the user to control the raising and lowering of the placement plate 12 more accurately and stably.
[0038] In some embodiments, a nut 216 is threaded onto the rod 211. After adjusting the position of the placement plate 12, the user rotates the nut 216 clockwise, causing the nut 216 to move to a position where it abuts against the box 11. The contact between the nut 216 and the box 11 compresses the rod 211, stopping its rotation and thus fixing the position of the placement plate 12.
[0039] In some embodiments, a rotating shaft 244 is provided on the moving rod 241, and the clamping arm 245 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 244. The clamping arm 245 can rotate on the rotating shaft 244 to accommodate test tubes of different sizes. When facing test tubes of different sizes, the clamping arm 245 fixes the test tubes from four directions, increasing the contact area between the clamping arm 245 and the test tubes and improving the stability of clamping and fixing.
[0040] In some embodiments, a rubber strip 26 is provided on the clamping arm 245. The test tube is relatively fragile, and the rubber strip 26 can protect the test tube while preventing it from being easily squeezed and damaged if it is directly separated from the rotating shaft 244. At the same time, the rubber strip 26 has a good coefficient of friction, which provides a good fixing effect for the test tube.
[0041] In some embodiments, a fixing plate 25 is provided on the moving rod 241, and springs 251 are symmetrically arranged on the fixing plate 25. The springs 251 and the clamping arms 245 are fixedly connected. By setting the fixing plate 25 and the springs 251, the elastic force of the springs 251 is used to control the clamping arms 245 to continuously clamp and fix the test tube from four directions, which can meet the needs of test tubes of different sizes and improve the flexibility of the entire device.
[0042] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the placement groove 13 is provided with a sponge. Providing a sponge on the inner wall of the placement groove 13 can protect the lower half of the test tube, enhancing the overall protective effect of the device.
