[0002] In the World Health Organization's "Human Semen Examination and Processing Laboratory Handbook", an important indicator for evaluating male reproductive capacity is the total number of sperm discharged per ejaculation and the total number of motile sperm discharged per ejaculation. The total number of sperm per ejaculation is more diagnostic than sperm concentration, but the prerequisite is to accurately measure the semen volume. Semen volume provides information related to the function of accessory glands, therefore, accurate measurement of semen volume is the basis for any semen evaluation. The manual stipulates that semen volume detection is not recommended to suck semen from the measuring cup to the pipette and syringe or pour into the measuring cylinder to measure the volume, because the lost volume can be between 0.3 to 0.9 milliliters.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used semen collection device is, for example, the quantitative semen transfer device that simultaneously realizes the collection, lysis and sample adding three steps as shown in CN205642913U. The structure of this device is a needle cylinder type, although it meets the quantitative drop adding, it cannot be directly connected to the collection site, and the process of semen transfer will occur, therefore, it cannot solve the leakage problem in the transfer process. In addition, for example, a semen collection device for urology surgery as shown in CN114601540B, this device can meet the direct collection and non-destructive transfer requirements, but it cannot meet the function of quantitative drop adding, and still needs to be transferred after the container to be able to drop and detect and difficult to control the quantity.
