[0002] In modern medicine and laboratory testing, swabs are widely used as an important sample collection tool in various fields such as pathogen detection, microbial analysis, and surface cleanliness assessment. Swab test results are directly related to disease diagnosis and treatment, and environmental hygiene monitoring; therefore, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of swab testing is crucial. However, traditional swab testing methods have significant shortcomings in terms of environmental interference, operational complexity, sample contamination, and data processing efficiency.
[0003] In critical fields such as medicine, bioscience, and environmental monitoring, ensuring surface cleanliness meets established standards is a fundamental requirement, which largely depends on the accuracy of the testing. When a swab is inserted into the instrument, natural light penetrates the detection tube and enters the device, illuminating the sensitive components used to detect the swab's cleanliness. These components are extremely sensitive to changes in light intensity, which can even affect the test results. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sealed swab testing chamber, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A sealed swab testing chamber includes a testing chamber body, a detector, and an implantation tube;
[0007] The detection chamber body is located at the bottom of the implantation tube, and the upper part of the implantation tube is an open structure for swab insertion, which then falls into the bottom of the detection chamber body.
[0008] An observation window is provided on the side of the detection chamber body, and the observation window is connected to the bottom of the implantation tube. At the same time, a detector and a switch are provided on the side of the observation window, so that the detection chamber body encloses the detector and the switch. The detector is a detection element, and the switch controls the opening and closing of the observation window.
[0009] Furthermore, the detection chamber body includes a first outer shell and a second outer shell. The first outer shell forms a wrap around the bottom periphery of the implantation tube, while the second outer shell is fixed to the outside of the first outer shell, and a switch is provided in the cavity formed between the first outer shell and the second outer shell.
[0010] Furthermore, an arc-shaped baffle is provided at the upper opening position where the implantation tube is located, and the arc-shaped baffle is arched and bent upwards.
[0011] Furthermore, the upper inner diameter of the implantation tube is larger than the lower inner diameter.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the implantation tube is simultaneously sealed and fixed to the end by a cap.
[0013] Furthermore, the switch is controlled by a solenoid valve, which enables the opening and closing of the observation window in the vertical direction.
[0014] Furthermore, a circuit board is provided in the inner cavity where the detection chamber body is located, and a detection element is set on the circuit board to detect the swab located at the bottom of the implantation tube in the switching state.
[0015] Furthermore, the circuit board is fixed inside the cavity where the detection chamber body is located by the fixing plate.
[0016] Furthermore, the circuit board outputs the results detected by the detection element to the outside in the form of readable data via wired / wireless means.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. This device includes key components such as the detection chamber body, implantation tube, observation window, detector, and switcher. Through its sealed structure and intelligent control system, the detection chamber can perform efficient and accurate detection of swabs in a dark environment, significantly improving the reliability and efficiency of the detection.
[0019] 2. The detection chamber of this device is a sealed design, effectively isolating external light and environmental interference, ensuring that the photoelectric sensor can operate under ideal light-free conditions during the detection process. This design reduces light interference to the detection element, ensuring the accuracy of the detection results.
[0020] 3. This device can accurately capture the state of the swab by detecting the sensitivity of the detection element to changes in light intensity, and can provide more accurate data feedback, especially when detecting the cleanliness of the swab.
[0021] 4. The solenoid valve control switch in this device automatically opens and closes the observation window, reducing the complexity of manual operation. Operators only need to perform simple insertion and start-up operations, reducing the difficulty of operation and the possibility of human error. Furthermore, the design of the implantation tube makes swab insertion more convenient, and the arc-shaped baffle further guides the swab smoothly into the testing chamber, improving the overall operating experience.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a sealed swab testing chamber, including a testing chamber body 1, a detector 2, and an implantation tube 3.
[0030] The detection chamber body 1 is located at the bottom of the implantation tube 3, with the upper part of the implantation tube 3 being an open structure for swab insertion. The effective portion of the swab falls into the bottom of the detection chamber body 1. The sealed design of the detection chamber body 1 effectively isolates external light and environmental interference, ensuring that the photoelectric sensor (detection element) can operate under ideal light-free conditions during the detection process. The sealed design of the detection chamber body 1 effectively prevents external contaminants from interfering with the sample, ensuring the purity of the sample during the detection process. This characteristic is crucial for ensuring the reliability of the test results, especially in the detection of microorganisms and pathogens. Furthermore, the design of the detection chamber body 1 can adapt to different types of swab detection needs, possessing strong flexibility and adaptability, and can meet the practical application needs of multiple fields such as medical treatment, scientific research, and environmental monitoring.
[0031] This design reduces light interference with the detection element, ensuring the accuracy of the test results. By utilizing the sensitivity of the detection element to changes in light intensity, the state of the swab can be accurately captured, providing more precise data feedback, especially when testing swab cleanliness.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, at this time, an arc-shaped baffle 301 is provided at the upper opening position where the implantation tube 3 is located, and the arc-shaped baffle 301 is arched and bent upwards. The upper inner diameter of the implantation tube 3 is larger than the lower inner diameter, which makes it easier to insert the swab. The bottom of the implantation tube 3 is simultaneously sealed and fixed to the end by the cap 31. This method also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the entire device.
[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, an observation window 101 is provided on the side of the detection chamber body 1, and the observation window 101 is connected to the bottom of the implantation tube 3. At the same time, a detector 2 and a switch 4 are arranged on the side of the observation window 101. The detection chamber body 1 includes a first outer shell 11 and a second outer shell 12. The first outer shell 11 forms a wrap around and fixes the bottom of the implantation tube 3, while the second outer shell 12 is fixed to the outside of the first outer shell 11. A cavity structure is formed between the first outer shell 11 and the second outer shell 12, so that the detector 2 and the switch 4 are wrapped in the cavity. A detection element is also arranged in the cavity. The detector 2 is a detection element. The switch 4 controls the opening and closing of the observation window 101. Due to space constraints, the switch 4 is controlled by a solenoid valve to open and close the observation window 101 in the vertical direction. The vertical space is utilized to ensure the overall shape. In addition, the solenoid valve in the design controls the switch 4 to automatically open and close the observation window, reducing the complexity of manual operation. Operators only need to perform simple insertion and start-up operations, which reduces the difficulty of operation and the possibility of human error.
[0034] Rui Figure 5As shown, a circuit board 13 is installed inside the cavity of the detection chamber body 1, and the circuit board 13 is fixed to the cavity of the detection chamber body 1 by a fixing plate 131. A detection element is installed on the circuit board 13, which detects the swab located at the bottom of the implantation tube 3 when the switch 4 is open or closed. Specifically, in use, the circuit board 13 controls the switch 4 to close the observation window 101, and then the swab is inserted (during insertion, the detection element on the circuit board 13 is not affected by the light source, ensuring the airtightness of the detection environment). When the swab is inserted to the bottom of the implantation tube 3, the circuit board 13 activates the switch 4 again, thereby opening the observation window 101. The detection element (detector 2) detects the swab located at the bottom of the implantation tube 3 in a dark environment. The detection element (detector 2) receives light through the open window and begins to detect the cleanliness of the swab. The detection element is extremely sensitive to changes in light intensity and can accurately capture the swab's state, greatly improving the detection effect.
[0035] Based on the results detected by the detection element, the circuit board 13 outputs the detection results to the outside in the form of readable data via wired / wireless means, enabling the detection results to be output quickly. This mechanism ensures that the detection results can be fed back quickly, helping relevant personnel to make timely decisions.
[0036] After the test is completed, circuit board 13 analyzes the data collected by the testing components and controls the electromagnetic switch to close the window to protect the components from external light interference. The circuit board feeds back the analysis results to the screen, completing the testing process and achieving precise control of the optical path.
[0037] This structure can shield sensitive detection components when needed, preventing them from being directly exposed to unnecessary light and thus avoiding interference with the detection results. Simultaneously, in detection mode, the structure allows necessary light to pass through, ensuring that the components can accurately detect the swab's condition.
[0038] This novel sealed swab testing chamber, through innovative design and advanced technology, solves the problems of environmental interference, operational complexity, sample contamination, and low data processing efficiency inherent in traditional swab testing methods. This technology not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of testing but also reduces operational difficulty and the risk of sample contamination, demonstrating promising market prospects and application value. In the future, the widespread application of this technology will provide more reliable and efficient solutions for medical and laboratory testing, driving development and progress in related fields.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
