Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical apparatus and instruments, in particular to a swab collection assembly. BACKGROUND
[0002] Currently, the diagnosis and detection of new coronavirus pneumonia is divided into two categories: detecting viral genetic material (RNA) and detecting antibodies produced by our body in response to viral infection.
[0003] Nasal swab or throat swab collection is currently the main means of collecting new coronavirus nucleic acid detection specimens. The existing technology is to put the collected single swab into a virus collection tube, tighten the tube cover, mark it, and then send it to the laboratory for subsequent testing. However, in the actual operation of swab collection, there are often difficulties in breaking. In addition, when the capped collection tube is twisted open, the virus-containing collection liquid often splashes, causing the collection personnel, laboratory personnel and other samples to be contaminated or even infected with the virus-containing collection liquid. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a swab collection assembly that reduces the frequency of opening the cover and avoids contamination or even infection of the collection personnel, laboratory personnel and other samples with the virus-containing collection liquid.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problem is to provide a swab collection assembly, which includes a swab and a collection tube for containing the swab. The swab includes a connected handle and a collection cotton head. The middle section of the handle is provided with a breakable notch. The opening of the collection tube is provided with a baffle. The baffle is centrally provided with a one-way channel arranged at an angle with the axis of the collection tube. The one-way channel includes a cutout section on the opening side and a guide section below the cutout section. The bottom of the guide section is connected to one end of an elastic plate. The narrowest part of the one-way channel is matched with the outer diameter of the swab. The surface of the baffle is covered with a sealing film.
[0006] Preferably, the elastic plate is arranged parallel to the baffle, and the elastic plate can close the channel opening of the one-way channel in the initial state.
[0007] Preferably, the outer side of the sealing film is provided with a guide piece.
[0008] Preferably, the edge of the cutout section is sharp.
[0009] Preferably, the cross section of the one-way channel is circular.
[0010] The beneficial effect is that: the swab enters the collection tube through the one-way channel opening, breaks at the sharp of the cutout section on the upper side of the baffle after the elastic plate is opened, falls into the collection tube, and the elastic plate automatically rebounds to close the opening to play a one-way effect. The above design can avoid the screwing and closing action of the collection tube with a cover, prevent the splashing of the separated virus liquid, make the collection process more smooth and smooth, make the operation more simple, effectively improve the work efficiency of medical staff, and avoid infection of medical staff. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0011] Figure 1 It is a sectional view of a swab collection assembly.
[0012] Figure 2 It is Figure 1 It is an enlarged view of A in the middle.
[0013] 1 - swab; 101 - handle; 102 - easy-to-break notch; 103 - collection cotton head; 2 - collection tube; 3 - baffle; 301 - cutout section; 302 - guide section; 303 - elastic plate; 4 - sealing film. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] The utility model is further described below in combination with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the utility model and are not used to limit the scope of the utility model. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the utility model, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the utility model, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims of the present application.
[0015] The utility model provides a kind of swab collection assembly, including swab 1 and the collection tube 2 for containing the swab 1, the swab 1 includes the handle 101 and collection cotton head 103 of being connected, the middle section of the handle 101 is equipped with easy-to-break notch 102, the opening of the collection tube 2 is equipped with baffle 3, the baffle 3 center is equipped with with the one-way channel of the arrangement of the axis of the collection tube 2 Angle, the one-way channel includes the cutout section 301 in opening side and the guide section 302 below the cutout section 301, the bottom of the guide section 302 is connected with the one end of elastic plate 303, the narrowest place of the one-way channel is matched with the outer diameter of the swab 1, the surface of the baffle 3 is covered with sealing film 4.
[0016] In like Figure 1 , 2In one embodiment, the elastic plate 303 is arranged in parallel with the baffle 3, and the elastic plate 303 can close the channel opening of the one-way channel in the initial state. In use, the collection head 103 is poked into the one-way channel and pressed down to deform the elastic plate 303. After the rod handle 101 is easily broken at the notch 102 and the notch 102 is aligned with the cutout section 301, the rod handle 101 is broken at one side of the cutout section 301 by force. If it is stuck, the remaining half of the rod handle 101 can be pushed until the rod handle 101 with the collection head 103 falls freely into the collection tube 2. After the collection head 103 falls into the collection tube 2, the elastic plate 303 rebounds to close the one-way channel.
[0017] The outer side of the sealing film 4 is provided with a guide piece which is a semicircular piece and is integrally formed with the sealing film 4. After the semicircular piece is lifted from the side of the collection tube 2, the sealing film 4 can be easily removed from the top of the collection tube 2.
[0018] The edge of the cutout section 301 is sharp, which helps to quickly break the rod handle 101 after the notch 102 is aligned with the cutout section 301 and force is applied, and to push the rod handle 101 to fall into the collection tube 2.
[0019] In one embodiment, the cross section of the one-way channel is circular. In other embodiments, it can be elliptical, which can reduce the contact area of the collection head 103 and the one-way channel.
