Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of respiratory virus management and control technology, specifically a portable storage device for medical cotton swabs. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, traditional screening typically uses prepared medical swabs to collect samples from the respiratory tract of virus-carrying patients. For special groups such as the elderly and pregnant women with mobility issues, medical staff often need to collect samples at home. However, when the number of patients requiring home collection is large, the pre-prepared medical swabs are likely to come into accidental contact with other items during the movement of medical staff, leading to contamination of the spare swabs. Once the swabs are contaminated, the collected samples may be inaccurate, affecting subsequent virus test results and potentially leading to misdiagnosis and delaying the patient's treatment. Secondly, after collection, it is also difficult to centrally separate the virus-carrying swabs. Collected swabs are easily placed haphazardly, making effective centralized separation difficult. This not only may cause the loss of collection results but also increases the difficulty of sample management. Moreover, if virus-carrying swabs come into contact with other items at will, they can easily cause secondary infection. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a portable storage device for medical swabs to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] Working principle: Before screening and collection, the staff pulls out the first shielding plate 3 and places the spare screening swabs into the surface of the moving plate 401 inside the main body box 1. As more swabs are placed in, the moving plate 401 descends and the third spring 414 contracts. When the filling is complete, the third spring 414 extends and pushes the moving plate 401, thereby pushing the swabs on the surface of the moving plate 401. In use, the second shielding plate 412 is pushed, and then the pusher 409 is pushed to push a single swab out of the inside of the main body box 1. After the swab is taken out, the second shielding plate 412 and the pusher 409 immediately return to their original positions, thus preventing the remaining medical swabs from coming into contact with other items and causing contamination. Through the set isolation component 7, the isolation plate 703 can be pulled to put the swabs collected after screening into the isolation box 707. After the isolation plate 703 is released, the fourth spring 704 pushes the isolation plate 703 to shield and isolate the swabs inside the isolation box 707, thereby preventing the swabs carrying the virus from coming into contact with other items and causing secondary infection.
