Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fecal collection technology, and in particular to a portable fecal collector capable of quantitative analysis. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical technology, for some patients, it is necessary to collect patient feces. A small amount of feces is collected from the patient's feces, placed in a designated container, and then tested.

[0003] A search revealed that patent announcement number CN213600405U describes a fecal sample collector, comprising a push rod, a piston, and a hollow sleeve. This invention allows for the collection of a large volume of feces during sample collection, and the sample is less prone to falling out, ensuring sufficient samples for testing and guaranteeing the accuracy of the tests.

[0004] However, the following drawbacks still exist:

[0005] While the fecal sampler in the aforementioned application can prevent the collected samples from falling out, it cannot achieve regional quantitative collection of the collected samples, which reduces the collection efficiency and the convenience and practicality of sample management. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies that cannot achieve regional quantitative collection of samples, thus reducing collection efficiency and the convenience and practicality of sample management. Therefore, this invention proposes a portable fecal collector capable of quantitative collection.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A portable fecal collector capable of quantitative analysis includes:

[0009] A connecting seat, the top of which is rectangular and fixedly connected to four cylindrical tubes, the bottom of which is threadedly connected to a connecting pipe, and the bottom of which is threadedly connected to a suction pipe;

[0010] A separator is mounted on the connector and is used to quantitatively separate the collected samples.

[0011] In one possible design, the partition assembly includes a partition rotatably disposed inside the connecting seat, a through hole being formed at one-quarter of the partition, a rotating rod rotatably disposed on the top of the connecting seat, the bottom end of the rotating rod being fixedly connected to the partition, a connecting rod being slidably embedded in the top of the rotating rod, a knob being fixedly disposed on the top of the connecting rod, and a pull ring being fixedly disposed on the top of the knob.

[0012] In one possible design, each of the four tubes has a sliding cylinder at its top, the tubes are connected to the sliding cylinders, a booster plate is fixedly installed on one side of each of the four sliding cylinders, a piston is movably installed inside each of the four sliding cylinders, a connecting rod is fixedly installed on the top of each of the four pistons, and a pressure plate is fixedly installed at the top of each of the four connecting rods.

[0013] In one possible design, a baffle is movably provided on the inner ring of the inhalation tube, and two rotating shafts are fixedly provided on both sides of the baffle. The two rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the two sides of the inner wall of the inhalation tube, and torsion springs are sleeved on the outside of the two rotating shafts. The two ends of the torsion springs are fixedly connected to one side of the baffle and the inner wall of the inhalation tube, respectively. A plate is fixedly provided on one side of the inner wall of the inhalation tube below the baffle.

[0014] In one possible design, scale lines are provided on one side of both the tube and the slide.

[0015] In one possible design, the outer ring of the connector is fixedly provided with an anti-slip strip.

[0016] In this application, when starting to use the device, first take out the collector packaged in a medical-grade sterile bag and check the connecting tube provided with the collector inside the bag. Then, select a connecting tube of appropriate length according to the collection needs. After selection, take the collector to the location where collection is needed. Then, open the bag and take out the collector inside. Then, connect the connector of the collector to the connecting tube with a threaded connection. Then, connect the suction tube to the bottom of the connecting tube with a threaded connection to assemble it into a complete collector.

[0017] Next, align the suction tube of the sampler with the fecal sample, hold the anti-slip strip on the outside of the connector, and pull one of the push plates. As the push plate is pulled, it will cause the slide, piston and its components to slide outward inside the tube. Since the sliding part between the slide and the tube is also sealed, a negative pressure will be formed inside the tube as the slide slides. The formation of negative pressure will pull the baffle to rotate and unfold in a fan shape inside the suction tube. When the baffle unfolds, the torsion spring will be deformed by force, and the sample will be sucked into the tube that pulled the push plate through the suction tube. Then observe the scale lines on the tube and the slide to see if the required amount of sample has been reached. If the required amount has not been reached, pull the pressure plate again. As the pressure plate is pulled, it will drive the piston to continue sliding in the slide through the connecting rod, and create a negative pressure in the slide and the tube to continue to suck up the sample.

[0018] When it is necessary to collect samples in different areas, first pull the pull ring to drive the connecting rod out of the rotating rod through the knob. Then turn the knob. As the knob turns, it drives the partition to rotate through the connecting rod and the rotating rod. The partition rotates in the connecting seat, thereby changing the position of the through hole on the partition. The change in the position of the through hole during the rotation of the partition can seal the previously collected tube. Then, follow the above operation to draw in the required amount of sample into the second tube. Then, continue to turn the knob to change the position of the through hole on the partition to draw in the required amount of sample into the third and fourth tubes, until the required amount of sample is drawn into all four tubes and the slide tube. After the sample is drawn in, the torsion spring drives the baffle to rotate in the opposite direction through its own elasticity, so that it automatically rests on the baffle to seal the suction tube, thereby preventing sample leakage. When it is necessary to test the sample, the connecting tube or suction tube can be removed.

[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This invention enables the quantitative collection of samples by dividing them into regions through the setting of a separator component, which effectively improves the collection efficiency and the convenience and practicality of sample management, bringing great convenience to subsequent sample analysis and processing.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 A fecal collector, comprising:

[0029] The components include a connecting seat 1, a tube 2, a separator, a slide 3, and a piston 5. The top of the connecting seat 1 is fixedly connected to four tubes 2, which are arranged in a rectangular shape to facilitate the simultaneous collection of multiple samples. The bottom of the connecting seat 1 is threadedly connected to a connecting tube 8, which has two available lengths to accommodate different collection needs. The bottom of the connecting tube 8 is threadedly connected to a suction tube 9 for direct contact and collection of fecal samples.

[0030] The separating component is located inside the connecting seat 1 and is used for quantitative separation of the collected samples. Specifically, the separating component includes a partition 15 rotatably disposed inside the connecting seat 1. A through hole 16 is opened at one-quarter of the partition 15. A rotating rod 14 is rotatably disposed on the top of the connecting seat 1. The bottom end of the rotating rod 14 is fixedly connected to the partition 15. A connecting rod 17 is slidably disposed on the top of the rotating rod 14. A knob 18 is fixedly disposed on the top of the connecting rod 17. A pull ring 19 is fixedly disposed on the top of the knob 18. By pulling the pull ring 19 and rotating the knob 18, the position of the partition 15 and the through hole 16 on it can be easily adjusted, thereby realizing the separation and quantitative collection of samples in the four tubes 2.

[0031] Each of the four tubes 2 has a sliding cylinder 3 slidably mounted on its top. The tubes 2 and the sliding cylinders 3 are connected, and the contact point between the sliding cylinder 3 and the inner wall of the tubes 2 is provided with rubber to ensure a sealed state, which facilitates the formation of negative pressure inside the tube during suction. A push plate 4 is fixedly mounted on one side of the sliding cylinder 3 for easy manual operation by the user. A piston 5 is movable inside the sliding cylinder 3. A connecting rod 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the piston 5, and a pressure plate 7 is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting rod 6. By pulling the push plate 4 or the pressure plate 7, the sliding cylinder 3 can be moved to slide inside the tubes 2, thereby generating negative pressure and sucking in the fecal sample. Then, pulling the pressure plate 7 again will move the piston 5 to slide inside the sliding cylinder 3, which can also create negative pressure and suck in the fecal sample.

[0032] A baffle 10 is movably installed on the inner ring of the suction tube 9. A rotating shaft 11 is fixedly installed on both sides of the baffle 10. The rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the suction tube 9. A torsion spring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the two rotating shafts 11. The two ends of the torsion spring 12 are fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 10 and the inner wall of the suction tube 9, respectively. When the suction tube 9 is aligned with the fecal sample and generates negative pressure, the baffle 10 will rotate and unfold in a fan shape under the action of negative pressure, allowing the sample to enter the tube 2. When the negative pressure disappears, the torsion spring 12 will drive the baffle 10 to rotate in the opposite direction and rest on the plate 13 on the inner wall of the suction tube 9, thereby preventing sample leakage.

[0033] This application can be used in the field of portable fecal collection devices for quantitative analysis, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 further includes: a portable fecal sampler capable of quantitative measurement, which is applied to the field of portable fecal sampler technology. In order to control the collection volume more accurately, scale lines 20 are set on one side of both the tube 2 and the slide tube 3. Users can observe the scale lines 20 to determine whether the sample has reached the required amount, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the collection.

[0036] Finally, an anti-slip strip 101 was added to the outer ring of the connector 1 to improve the stability of the user holding the data collector and prevent operational errors or sample contamination caused by slipping.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
