Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical testing technology, and in particular to a cotton swab clamping device for secretion testing. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical testing, vaginal secretion testing is one of the important methods for diagnosing gynecological diseases. Traditional methods of vaginal secretion testing mainly rely on manual operation. Typically, medical staff need to manually remove a swab containing the sample from a test tube, smear it on a coverslip, and then test the reaction of the swab on test strips for relevant substances.

[0003] This manual operation method has many drawbacks. First, the testing efficiency is extremely low. In the laboratories or health check centers of large hospitals, when faced with a large number of test samples, manual operation requires a significant amount of time and energy from medical staff, making it difficult to meet the demand for rapid testing, easily leading to sample backlog and prolonging the waiting time for patients to receive test results. Second, manual operation makes it difficult to guarantee consistency and accuracy. Differences in the operating techniques, pressure, and proficiency of different medical staff may result in inconsistent thickness and uniformity of sample smears on the coverslip, and the reaction conditions on the test strip are difficult to control precisely, thus affecting the reliability and repeatability of the test results. Furthermore, manual operation is prone to introducing human error and contamination. During the process of removing swabs and smearing samples, medical staff may introduce impurities, microorganisms, or other contaminants into the sample due to contact with the external environment or improper operation, interfering with the test results and even leading to incorrect diagnostic conclusions, posing potential risks to the patient's health. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a swab clamping device for secretion detection, comprising a base, several test tubes, and several medical swabs. The base is equipped with a sample application arm module and a sample inlet rack.

A clamping mechanism is installed on the second motor synchronous belt device. The sample inlet rack contains a test tube rack, with several test tubes inserted into the inner wall of the test tube rack, and several medical swabs inserted into the inner walls of the corresponding test tubes.

[0007] This invention relates to a swab clamping device for secretion testing. Through the coordinated operation of a lifting linear motor module, a first motor synchronous belt device, a second motor synchronous belt device, and a clamping mechanism, the invention achieves automated operation, improves testing efficiency, and can process multiple samples in a short time. The automated device can precisely control the operation process, reduce human error, and improve the reliability of test results. Through precise mechanical movement and program control, a standardized operating procedure is achieved, ensuring that each sample is processed according to the same standard, which is beneficial to improving the consistency and comparability of the test results.

Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Rather, the embodiments of this utility model include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0022] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes a cotton swab clip device for detecting secretions according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a swab-holding device for secretion detection according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a base 1, a plurality of test tubes 4 and a plurality of medical swabs 5. The base 1 is provided with a sample application arm module 2 and a sample feeder 3.

[0024] The sample feeding arm module 2 is equipped with a lifting linear motor module 21, a first motor synchronous belt device 22, and a second motor synchronous belt device 23. The lifting linear motor module 21 is installed inside the sample feeding arm module 2. The first motor synchronous belt device 22 is slidably connected to the inside of the lifting linear motor module 21. The second motor synchronous belt device 23 is slidably connected to the inside of the first motor synchronous belt device 22. A clamping mechanism 24 is installed on the second motor synchronous belt device 23.

[0025] It should be noted that the first motor synchronous belt device 22 and the second motor synchronous belt device 23 described in this embodiment are both composed of a bracket, a motor, and a transmission belt. The first motor synchronous belt device 22 slides in the track on the lifting linear motor module 21, and the second motor synchronous belt device 23 slides in the track on the first motor synchronous belt device 22. The end plate of the second motor synchronous belt device 23 is installed on the transmission belt on the first motor synchronous belt device 22. The clamping mechanism 24 is composed of a horizontal arm and a swing arm hinged thereto. The clamping part of the clamping mechanism 24 is located on the hinged swing arm, and the horizontal arm of the clamping mechanism 24 slides in the track on the second motor synchronous belt device 23.

[0026] The sample rack 3 is equipped with a test tube rack 31, and several experimental test tubes 4 are inserted into the inner wall of the test tube rack 31, and several medical cotton swabs 5 are inserted into the inner wall of the corresponding experimental test tubes 4.

[0027] It should be noted that the test tube rack 31 described in this embodiment has several slots for the experimental test tubes 4, and the test tube rack 31 is located on one side of the sample loading arm module 2.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a clamping control motor 241 is installed on the clamping mechanism 24, and a cam 243 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the clamping mechanism 24. The output end of the clamping control motor 241 is installed on the top of the cam 243.

[0029] It should be noted that the clamping control motor 241 described in this embodiment is mounted on the swing arm, the cam 243 is controlled by the rotation of the clamping control motor 241, and the clamping part of the clamping mechanism 24 is opened by the cam 243 protruding part.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, an angle adjustment motor 242 is installed on one side of the horizontal arm of the clamping mechanism 24, and the output end of the angle adjustment motor 242 is installed on one side of the swing arm of the clamping mechanism 24.

[0031] It should be noted that the horizontal arm of the clamping mechanism 24 described in this embodiment is restricted from angle adjustment by the second motor synchronous belt device 23, and the swing arm of the clamping mechanism 24 is controlled by the angle adjustment motor 242 to perform angle rotation adjustment.

[0032] Specifically, to address the issue of inconsistent and inaccurate operation during manual operation, the base 1 supports all components of the device. The sample application arm module 2, through the lifting linear motor module 21, the first motor synchronous belt device 22, and the second motor synchronous belt device 23, adjusts the position of the clamping mechanism 24, enabling position adjustment of the clamping mechanism 24 in the X, Y, and Z axes. Experimental test tubes 4 containing vaginal secretion samples are placed in the corresponding holes of the test tube rack 31. The test tube rack 31 stably accommodates and positions multiple experimental test tubes 4, preventing them from shaking or tipping over. Medical cotton swabs 5 are inserted into the experimental test tubes 4 to collect samples. The sample application arm module 2 clamps and secures the end of the medical cotton swab 5 through the clamping part of the clamping mechanism 24. The clamping mechanism 24 securely holds the medical swab 5 in place. The lifting linear motor module 21 and the first motor synchronous belt device 22 move the clamping mechanism 24 in the X and Y directions to the cover glass position and the test strip position, respectively. Then, it moves downwards in the Z direction to a suitable height, continuing to move the medical swab 5 in the X and Y directions to perform a smearing action on the cover glass. This invention achieves automated operation, improves testing efficiency, and can process multiple samples in a short time. The automated device can precisely control the operation process, reduce human error, and improve the reliability of test results. Through precise mechanical movement and program control, a standardized operating procedure is achieved, ensuring that each sample is processed according to the same standard, which is beneficial to improving the consistency and comparability of the tests.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the bottom of the sample loading arm module 2 is also equipped with a mounting base plate 25, which is mounted on the top of the base 1.

[0034] It should be noted that the mounting base 25 described in this embodiment is fixed to the sample loading arm module 2 and the base 1 by bolts.

[0035] Specifically, the sample loading arm module 2 is connected to the base 1 via the mounting base plate 25, so that the base 1 can stably support the sample loading arm module 2, and the sample loading arm module 2 can provide a stable base platform for the lifting linear motor module 21, the first motor synchronous belt device 22, the second motor synchronous belt device 23 and the clamping mechanism 24.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a sample feeding clamping mechanism 32 is installed inside the sample feeding rack 3, and the sample feeding clamping mechanism 32 is located on one side of the test tube rack 31.

[0037] It should be noted that the sample feeding clamping mechanism 32 described in this embodiment has a clamp for fixing the experimental test tube 4, and the sample feeding rack 3 has a traction device for driving the test tube rack 31.

[0038] Specifically, the sample feed rack 3 drives the test tube rack 31 to slide and translate along the Y direction through the internal traction device, so that the different experimental test tubes 4 on the test tube rack 31 can rotate to the position of the sample feed clamping mechanism 32. The sample feed clamping mechanism 32 slides along the X direction, so that the clamps on the sample feed clamping mechanism 32 can clamp and fix the experimental test tubes 4, hold the lower part of the experimental test tubes 4 tightly, and ensure that the experimental test tubes 4 remain stable during operation.

[0039] In summary, the swab clamping device for vaginal secretion detection of this utility model, when detecting vaginal secretions, controls the sample clamping mechanism 32 to move along the X direction so that it can clamp the lower part of the test tube 4. The clamping mechanism 24 first moves upward along the Z axis to the top, and then moves along the X and Y directions so that the clamping mechanism 24 is directly facing the center of the test tube 4. The clamping mechanism 24 moves downward along the Z axis until it covers the head of the medical cotton swab 5. The clamping control motor 241 drives the cam 243 to rotate, completing the clamping of the medical cotton swab 5. After the cotton swab 5 is applied, it moves along the Z direction and is pulled out of the test tube 4. The angle adjustment motor 242 drives the clamping mechanism 24 to rotate by the corresponding angle, and the base 1 moves downward to the corresponding position. The lifting linear motor module 21 and the first motor synchronous belt device 22 drive the clamping mechanism 24 to move in the X and Y directions to the cover glass position and the test paper position, respectively. Then it moves downward in the Z direction to a suitable height and continues to drive the medical cotton swab 5 to move in the X and Y directions to perform the smearing action on the cover glass.

Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
