[0025] A sputum collecting bottle convenient for the elderly patients to carry, as shown by the figure Figures 1 to 3 It is mainly composed of a bottle body 1, a bottle cap 5, a funnel 3, a collar 4, a loss prevention rope 6, a blowing pipe 2, a U-shaped pipe 9 and a hanging belt 7.

[0026] As shown in the figure Figures 1 to 3 The top end of the bottle body 1 is flat and a through hole is formed at the center position;

[0027] The bottle body 1 is composed of an upper section bottle body 1.1 and a lower section bottle body 1.2, both of which are U-shaped cylindrical structures. The top end of the lower section bottle body 1.2 is threadedly connected with the bottom end of the upper section bottle body 1.1, which can be disassembled, and after disassembly, the sample can be taken from the lower section bottle body 1.2.

[0028] Specifically, the bottom end of the upper section bottle body 1.1 is annularly cut and provided with external threads, and the top end of the lower section bottle body 1.2 is annularly cut and provided with internal threads, so that after the bottom end of the upper section bottle body 1.1 is threadedly connected with the top end of the lower section bottle body 1.2, the outer side walls of the two are flush.

[0029] As shown in the figure Figures 1 to 4 The bottle cap 5 can be threadedly connected at the top end of the bottle body 1.

[0030] Specifically, the bottom end of the bottle cap 5 is annularly cut and provided with internal threads, and the top end of the upper section bottle body 1.1 is annularly cut and provided with external threads, so that after the bottom end of the bottle cap 5 is threadedly connected with the top end of the upper section bottle body 1.1, the outer side walls of the two are flush.

[0031] As shown in the figure Figures 1 to 4 The bottom end of the funnel 3 is inserted into the bottle body 1 through the through hole, and the outer side wall of the funnel 3 is glued and fixed with the inner side wall of the through hole. The outer diameter of the bottle body 1 is 6 cm, the inner diameter of the top end of the funnel 3 is 10 cm, the wall thickness of the funnel 3 is not greater than 0.5 cm, and the inner diameter of the top end of the funnel 3 is greater than the outer diameter of the bottle body 1, so that the patient can accurately cough sputum into the wide-mouth funnel 3, and the sputum can slide down into the bottle body 1. The above-mentioned size of the outer diameter of the bottle body 1 is similar to the diameter of a 300-600 ml ordinary mineral water bottle, which can be carried by hand or in a bag.

[0032] The funnel 3 is made of silica gel, which has flexibility, can be folded, and can also be naturally opened. When the bottle cap 5 is installed, the funnel 3 can be folded and inserted into the bottle cap 5, and then the bottle cap 5 is installed at the top end of the bottle body 1. After the bottle cap 5 is disassembled, the funnel 3 can be naturally opened to restore to a funnel shape for the patient to cough sputum.

[0033] As shown in the figure Figures 1 to 4As shown, the collar 4 is used to bind the folded funnel 3, the outer diameter of the collar 4 is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle cap 5, and the collar 4 is placed in the bottle cap 5 after the bottle cap 5 is installed. After the patient finishes expectorating sputum, the folded funnel 3 can be inserted into the collar 4, and the collar 4 can bind the funnel 3. When the bottle cap 5 is installed, the collar 4 binds the funnel 3 so that it does not naturally open, which facilitates the installation of the bottle cap 5.

After the bottle cap 5 is opened and the collar 4 is removed from the funnel 3, the collar 4 can be quickly taken out under the pulling of the anti-lost rope 6 to avoid falling, and the funnel 3 can be quickly taken out when it is bound.

[0035] As shown, Figures 1 to 4 The blowing pipe 2 is used to blow air to make the sputum attached to the inner wall of the funnel 3 slide into the bottle body 1.

[0036] The opening of the U-shaped pipe 9 faces upwards, its top end penetrates the top end surface of the bottle body 1 and is fixed to the top end of the bottle body 1, and its bottom end extends into the bottle body 1. The U-shaped pipe 9 is used to accommodate the blowing pipe 2. When the blowing pipe 2 is not in use, it can be inserted into the U-shaped pipe 9. Based on the fact that the bottom end of the U-shaped pipe 9 is a sealed structure, the bottom end of the blowing pipe 2 can be prevented from being contaminated by the sputum collected in the bottle body 1. When the blowing pipe 2 is taken out, it can be pulled out of the U-shaped pipe 9.

[0037] As shown, Figure 1 and Figure 3 The two ends of the hanging belt 7 are symmetrically installed on the outer side wall of the upper section bottle body 1.1. The collection bottle can be carried by hand or on the shoulder through the hanging belt 7, which is convenient for carrying.

[0038] Specifically, the outer side wall of the upper section bottle body 1.1 is fixed with two buckles 8 that are symmetrical along the axis thereof, and the two ends of the hanging belt 7 are respectively threaded through the two buckles 8.

[0039] The bottle body 1 is made of frosted translucent plastic, such as frosted translucent PP plastic, which has a hazy visual effect and can prevent the sputum in the bottle body 1 from being clearly visible. In addition, the liquid level of the sputum in the bottle body 1 can be seen through the bottle body 1. The bottle body 1 also has anti-slip properties and is not easy to slip off when held by hand.

[0040] The bottle cap 5 and the bottle body 1 are made of the same material, and the wall thickness is not greater than 0.5 cm.

[0041] The collar 4 is made of plastic.

[0042] The anti-lost rope 6 is made of rubber or soft plastic and has flexibility and can be bent.

[0043] The blowing pipe 2 and the U-shaped pipe 9 are both made of plastic.

[0044] The hanging belt 7 is made of cloth.

[0045] The use method and technical effect of the collecting bottle in the embodiment are as follows:

[0046] The collecting bottle is used for collecting sputum of an elderly patient, and the elderly patient can carry the collecting bottle by hanging the collecting bottle by a belt 7 or by a shoulder or hold the bottle body 1 by hand, so as to facilitate carrying out.

[0047] When the elderly patient coughs sputum, the elderly patient twists the bottle cap 5 to open the bottle cap 5, removes the sleeve ring 4, and the funnel 3 is naturally opened to be funnel-shaped, the elderly patient can aim the mouth at the funnel 3 to cough sputum, the sputum can be directly coughed into the bottle body 1 through the channel at the bottom of the funnel 3, or the sputum is coughed to the inner side wall of the funnel 3, the sputum can slide into the bottle body 1, if the sputum has a relatively large adhesion, the elderly patient can pull out the blowing tube 2, blows air by using the blowing tube 2, the air outlet of the blowing tube 2 aims at the sputum, and the sputum is blown into the bottle body 1, attention should be paid to avoiding that the blowing tube 2 touches the sputum, and the blowing tube 2 is inserted into the U-shaped tube 9 after use.

[0048] After the sputum is coughed, the elderly patient folds the funnel 3 and inserts the funnel 3 into the sleeve ring 4, the sleeve ring 4 can bind the funnel 3, and then the bottle cap 5 is installed, the funnel 3 which is bound does not naturally open, so that the bottle cap 5 is conveniently installed.

[0049] When the sputum sample is taken, the lower bottle body 1.2 can be twisted off, and the sample is taken from the lower bottle body 1.2.

[0050] The collecting bottle can be repeatedly used after being cleaned and disinfected, when the sputum is collected, the funnel 3 which is naturally opened has a wide-mouth structure, the sputum can be accurately coughed into the funnel 3, and the collecting bottle is convenient to carry out.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced equivalently; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims and the specification of the present application.
