[0018] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: including a collector housing 1 and a cover 2, the cover 2 being detachably connected to the top of the collector housing 1, a sealing element 21 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the cover 2, and a connecting groove 22 being provided on the top of the cover 2, a quantitative sampling spoon 3 being provided in the inner cavity of the collector housing 1, an extension rod 31 being fixedly connected to the top of the quantitative sampling spoon 3, one end of the extension rod 31 penetrating through the cover 2, and a limiting plate 32 being fixedly connected to the top of the extension rod 31, and an operating glove 4 being provided on one side of the extension rod 31.

[0019] In this embodiment: The present invention comprises a collector housing 1 and a cover 2 forming an external housing structure. The cover 2 is detachably connected to the top of the collector housing 1. A sealing element 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the cover 2. By setting the sealing element 21, the connection effect between the collector housing 1 and the cover 2 is improved, and the sealing performance between the collector housing 1 and the cover 2 is increased. A connecting groove 22 is provided at the top of the cover 2. A quantitative sampling spoon 3 is provided inside the collector housing 1. An extension rod 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the quantitative sampling spoon 3. One end of the extension rod 31 penetrates the cover 2, and a limiting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the extension rod 31. The quantitative sampling spoon 3, the extension rod 31, and the limiting plate 32 are integrated into a single structure. Before use, one end of the extension rod 31 is located outside the collector housing 1. An operating glove 4 is provided on one side of the extension rod 31. The operating glove 4 and its outer packaging structure are located on one side of the extension rod 31, limiting the position of the extension rod 31. Since the extension rod 31 cannot slide, when using this new type of device, first remove and put on the operating glove 4 set on one side of the extension rod 31. At this time, release the operating glove 4 and its packaging structure from limiting the extension rod 31. Remove the cover 2 from the top of the collector housing 1 and press the limiting plate 32 to make the extension rod 31 and the quantitative sampling spoon 3 slide downward until the limiting plate 32 engages with the connecting groove 22. Extend and unfold the extension rod 31. At this time, the distance between the quantitative sampling spoon 3 and the cover 2 increases, which makes it more convenient for medical staff to hold the cover 2 to take samples and increases the distance between them and the samples. This reduces the possibility of medical staff's hands coming into contact with the samples. After the quantitative sampling spoon 3 takes a sample, it enters the interior of the collector housing 1 until the quantitative sampling spoon 3 abuts against the bottom of the inner cavity of the collector housing 1. Continue to press the cover 2 to shorten and reset the extension rod 31 until the cover 2 is fitted on the top of the collector housing 1 and the limiting plate 32 engages with the connecting groove 22, thus completing the sampling of the sample.

[0020] The outer side of the operating glove 4 is covered with a plastic sealing film 41, and a connecting strap 42 is provided on one side of the plastic sealing film 41. The connecting strap 42 is sleeved on the extension rod 31. The plastic sealing film 41 and the connecting strap 42 on the outside of the operating glove 4 form the packaging structure of the operating glove 4. When not in use, it is sealed inside to maintain hygiene and at the same time limit the position of the extension rod 31.

[0021] Both the limiting plate 32 and the connecting groove 22 are circular structures, and the diameter of the limiting plate 32 matches the inner diameter of the connecting groove 22. The limiting plate 32 and the connecting groove 22 are engaged and connected. By setting the limiting plate 32 and the connecting groove 22, the positions of the quantitative sampling spoon 3 and the extension rod 31 are limited. At the same time, after they are engaged and connected, the sealing effect of the cover 2 on the collector housing 1 is ensured.

[0022] Limiting grooves 311 are provided on the center lines of both the seal 21 and the connecting groove 22. The extension rod 31 passes through the limiting groove 311 and penetrates the cover 2 and the seal 21. By providing the limiting groove 311, the sliding position of the extension rod 31 is limited, causing the extension rod 31 to slide up and down in a straight line.

[0023] A label bar 11 is provided on one side of the collector housing 1, and the collector housing 1 is made into a transparent structure; the collector housing 1 is made into a transparent structure, which makes it easy to observe the situation inside the collector housing 1.

[0024] The operating gloves 4, the plastic sealing film 41, and the connecting strap 42 are all disposable items. The plastic sealing film 41 and the connecting strap 42 are provided with an easy-tear line on one side. The operating gloves 4 are sealed by the plastic sealing film 41 and the connecting strap 42 to ensure the hygiene of the operating gloves 4 before sampling.

[0025] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, remove and put on the operating glove 4 located on one side of the extension rod 31. This releases the operating glove 4 and its packaging structure from limiting the extension rod 31. Remove the cover 2 from the top of the collector housing 1. Press the limiting plate 32, causing the extension rod 31 and the quantitative sampling spoon 3 to slide downwards until the limiting plate 32 engages with the connecting groove 22. Extend and unfold the extension rod 31. This increases the distance between the quantitative sampling spoon 3 and the cover 2, making it more convenient for medical personnel to hold the cover 2 for sampling and reducing the possibility of contact between the medical personnel's hands and the sample. After sampling with the quantitative sampling spoon 3, it enters the interior of the collector housing 1 until the quantitative sampling spoon 3 abuts against the bottom of the inner cavity of the collector housing 1. Continue pressing the cover 2 to shorten and reset the extension rod 31 until the cover 2 is fitted onto the top of the collector housing 1, and the limiting plate 32 engages with the connecting groove 22, completing the sample sampling.
