Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of canine supplies technology, and in particular to a canine tracheal sample collection device. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure the health of police dogs, regular physical examinations are necessary. Among these examinations, sampling and testing tracheal secretions is an important means of diagnosing respiratory diseases in police dogs.

[0003] Traditional tracheal sampling primarily utilizes throat swabs. The process involves opening the police dog's mouth and inserting the throat swab into the throat to collect a swab. This method is ineffective at collecting tracheal secretions from police dogs. Furthermore, during collection, the throat swab is easily contaminated by saliva or food residue from the dog's mouth, affecting the accuracy of subsequent test results. Additionally, after sampling, the samples are susceptible to environmental contamination during storage and transfer. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address or partially address the problems existing in the related technologies, this application provides a canine tracheal sample collection device. During the sampling process, this device can prevent saliva or food residue from contaminating the sampling cotton ball, and after sampling, the sample can be directly stored to avoid the sample being contaminated by the external environment.

[0005] This application provides a canine tracheal sample collection device, comprising:

[0006] The sampling tube is a hollow structure with one end sealed to form a sampling section and the other end connected to a sample storage tube. A sampling port is opened on the side wall of the sampling section. A sampling cotton ball is placed inside the sampling section. The sampling cotton ball is fixed to one end of a second fine thread. The other end of the second fine thread extends from the inside of the sampling tube and passes through the end of the sample storage tube.

[0007] A sealing tape is attached to the sampling port to seal it, and a first fine thread is fixedly connected to the sealing tape.

[0008] Optionally, in some embodiments, the sampling tube is provided with a constriction section for limiting the movement of the sampling cotton ball.

[0009] Optionally, in some embodiments, the sealed end of the sampling tube is provided with a rounded end to prevent scratching the police dog's trachea.

[0010] Optionally, in some embodiments, a limiting ring for positioning the sample storage tube is provided on the outer wall of the sampling tube.

[0011] Optionally, in some embodiments, the end of the first thin wire is fixedly connected to the first pull ring.

[0012] Optionally, in some embodiments, the sample tube has a small hole at its end, one end of the second thread is attached to the sampling cotton ball, and the other end passes through the small hole and is fixed to the second pull ring.

[0013] Optionally, in some embodiments, both ends of the sample storage tube can be sealed with sealing caps.

[0014] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This application places a sampling cotton ball inside a sampling tube and seals the tube with sealing tape to prevent the cotton ball from being contaminated by saliva or food residue when inserted into the throat of a police dog. After sampling, the cotton ball can be transferred directly to a storage tube via a second thread and sealed promptly to prevent contamination of the cotton ball when the sampling tube is removed, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the sample.

[0027] See Figure 1-3 A canine tracheal sample collection device, comprising:

[0028] Sampling tube 1 is made entirely of flexible tubing, which facilitates insertion into the police dog's trachea while avoiding damage. Sampling tube 1 has a hollow structure, with one end sealed to form sampling section 12, and the other end connected to storage tube 3. Storage tube 3 is a rigid plastic tube, with its inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of sampling tube 1, allowing it to be inserted into the end of sampling tube 1. A small hole 31 is also provided on storage tube 3. In use, storage tube 3 can be removed from the end of sampling tube 1 by pulling.

[0029] The sampling section 12 has a sampling port 15 on its side wall. The sealing tape 2 is adhered to the sampling port 15 to seal the sampling port 15. One end of the first thin line 21 is adhered to the sealing tape 2 by the fixing tape 23, and the other end extends along the sampling tube 1 and is fixed to the first pull ring 22.

[0030] A sampling cotton ball 4 is placed in the sampling section 12. The sampling cotton ball 4 is fixed to one end of the second thin thread 41 by adhesive bonding. The other end of the second thin thread 41 extends from the inside of the sampling tube 1 and passes through the small hole 31 of the sample storage tube 3, and is fixed to the second pull ring 42.

[0031] During sampling, the sampling tube 1 is inserted into the police dog's mouth to the trachea. The first pull ring 22 is pulled to peel off the sealing tape 2 through the first thin line 21, thereby opening the sampling port 15. A staff member slightly rotates the sampling tube 1 to fully smear the mucus in the police dog's trachea onto the sampling cotton ball 4, thus completing the sampling.

[0032] After sampling is completed, by pulling the second pull ring 42 outward, the sampling cotton ball 4 can be slid from the inside of the sampling tube 1 to the storage tube 3 through the second thin thread 41. Then, the entire sampling tube 1 is removed from the police dog's trachea. After removal, the storage tube 3 is removed from the end of the sampling tube 1, and the second thin thread 41 is pulled to break the adhesive joint. Then, the two ends of the storage tube 3 are sealed with the sealing cap 32, thereby achieving timely sealing of the sampling cotton ball 4 and preventing the sampling cotton ball 4 from being contaminated during the removal process.

[0033] In some embodiments, to prevent the sampling cotton ball 4 from sliding away from the sampling port 15 inside the sampling tube 1, a gathering section 11 is provided on the sampling tube 1. The inner diameter of the gathering section 11 is smaller than the diameter of the sampling cotton ball 4, thereby limiting the sampling cotton ball 4.

[0034] In some embodiments, a rounded head 13 is provided at the sealed end of the sampling tube 1 to prevent the sampling tube 1 from scratching the trachea of ​​the police dog when it is inserted. Furthermore, the diameter of the rounded head 13 is the same as the outer diameter of the sampling tube 1 to facilitate the insertion of the sampling tube 1 into the trachea of ​​the police dog.

[0035] In some embodiments, a limiting ring 14 for positioning the sample storage tube 3 is provided on the outer wall of the sampling tube 1. The insertion distance of the sample storage tube 3 can be controlled by the limiting ring 14, so that the sample storage tube 3 can leave a margin for inserting the sampling cotton ball 4.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relationships such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "include," "contain," or any other variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0037] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
