Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample collection tube technology, specifically to a sample collection tube. Background Technology

[0002] Sample collection is commonly used for the collection and transportation of specimens for infectious diseases. Samples are obtained by taking samples from suspected patients, placing them in a preservation solution in plastic tubes for preservation, and then transporting them to the laboratory for testing.

[0003] The current virus sample collection process has limitations in practical operation due to the limitations of the sample collection tubes used. Typically, medical staff or testing personnel collect virus samples by gently dabbing the sample with a cotton swab, placing the swab into a specific sampling tube, and sealing the tube. This completes the collection of one virus sample. However, when sampling multiple different viruses, this traditional method reveals significant drawbacks. After collecting and properly sealing each virus sample, staff must stop working, retrieve a new, unused sampling tube from a storage box, and repeat the entire process of dabbing the sample with a cotton swab, placing it in the tube, and sealing it. This cycle repeats itself, especially when faced with large-scale multi-virus sample collection tasks. For example, during an outbreak, it is necessary to conduct extensive sampling and analysis of many different types of viral strains, or when carrying out comprehensive virological research projects that involve collecting samples of a large number of different types of viruses. This rather cumbersome sampling method will undoubtedly consume a lot of time and energy, greatly reduce the overall efficiency of sample collection, and may even affect the quality of samples and the timeliness of testing due to the lengthy operation process, thus having an adverse impact on subsequent virus research, diagnosis, and prevention and control work.

[0039] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0040] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a sample collection tube, including: a protective barrel 1, a sampling tube 2, a temperature sensor 3, a sampling mechanism, and a sealing mechanism. A stabilizing plate 14 is fixedly connected inside the protective barrel 1, and multiple sampling tubes 2 are fixedly connected to the stabilizing plate 14. Multiple sampling tubes 2 are provided and fixedly connected inside the protective barrel 1. The temperature sensor 3 is located on the protective barrel 1. Through the cooperation between the protective barrel 1, the sampling tubes 2, the temperature sensor 3, the sampling mechanism, and the sealing mechanism, it is convenient to quickly sample different viral samples, saving time and effort. It can simultaneously collect multiple tissue or body fluid samples, ensuring isolation between different samples, reducing mutual interference, ensuring the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of the collection process, preventing sample cross-contamination and degradation, and improving sample quality.

[0041] Each sampling tube 2 contains a sampling mechanism for sampling the virus. The sampling mechanism includes a sampling rod 4, a sampling head 5, a drive assembly, and a support assembly. The sampling rod 4 is slidably connected inside the sampling tube 2, and the sampling head 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sampling rod 4. The drive assembly is mounted on the sampling tube 2 to drive the sampling rod 4 to move. The support assembly is mounted on the sampling tube 2 to support and rebound the drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a drive plate 6, a transmission rod 7, and a drive block 8. A push plate 15 is fixedly connected to the drive block 8. A slide rod 16 is fixedly connected inside the sampling tube 2. The drive plate 6 has a sliding hole, and the slide rod 16 is slidably connected inside the sliding hole. The sampling tube 2 also has a sliding hole, and the transmission rod 7 is slidably connected inside the sliding hole. The drive plate 6 is slidably connected inside the sampling tube 2. The sampling rod 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sampling tube 2. The transmission rod 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive plate 6. The protective barrel 1 has a groove, and the drive block 8 is slidably connected in the groove. The top end of the transmission rod 7 is fixedly connected to the drive block 8. The support assembly includes a support plate 9 and a support spring 10. The support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 7, and the support spring 10 is sleeved on the circumferential surface of the transmission rod 7. The two ends of the support spring 10 are fixedly connected to the sampling tube 2 and the support plate 9, respectively. Specifically, the operator pulls the push plate 15 to the bottom of the protective barrel 1. When the push plate 15 moves, it drives the drive block 8 and the transmission rod 7 to move downward. When the transmission rod 7 descends, it drives the drive plate 6, the sampling rod 4 and the sampling head 5 to extend out of the sampling tube 2 for sampling. After sampling, the support plate 9 is rebounded by the support spring 10, so that the sampling head 5 returns to the sampling tube 2.

[0042] The system includes multiple sealing mechanisms, all housed within the protective casing 1, for sealing the sampling tube 2. Each sealing mechanism comprises a fixed plate 11, a rotating rod 12, and a sealing plate 13. The top of the sealing plate 13 is made of rubber. The fixed plate 11 is fixedly connected to the protective casing 1. The rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 11. The sealing plate 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 12. The top of the sealing plate 13 contacts the bottom of the sampling tube 2. Specifically, the operator rotates the sealing plate 13 to press against the bottom of the sampling tube 2, thereby sealing the sampling tube 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, when virus sampling is required, the operator rotates the sealing plate 13 to open the sampling tube 2. Then, the operator pulls the push plate 15 towards the bottom of the protective barrel 1. When the push plate 15 moves, it drives the drive block 8 and the transmission rod 7 to move downward. When the transmission rod 7 descends, it drives the drive plate 6, the sampling rod 4, and the sampling head 5 to extend out of the sampling tube 2 for sampling. After sampling, the support plate 9 is rebounded by the support spring 10, so that the sampling head 5 returns to the sampling tube 2. Then, the operator rotates the sealing plate 13 to press against the bottom end of the sampling tube 2 to seal the sampling tube 2. After this is finished, when sampling other viruses, the operator can pull another push plate 15 to move it.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
