[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] In the attached diagram, all identical reference numerals refer to the same components.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Reference Figure 1-3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a novel enclosed sampling platform, comprising a workbench 1 and a sampling platform body 2. The sampling platform body 2 is disposed on the inner top surface of the workbench 1. A transparent glass cover 3 is disposed on the top of the sampling platform body 2. A latex glove assembly 4 is disposed on one side surface of the transparent glass cover 3. Specimen channels 5 are respectively disposed on both ends of the transparent glass cover 3. The middle part of the specimen channel 5 is provided with a silicone layer and a cross-shaped opening is disposed in the center. A water outlet pipe 6 is disposed on the lower left end of the transparent glass cover 3. A water inlet tap 7 is disposed on the top surface of the transparent glass cover 3. A water outlet pedal 8 and a water inlet pedal 9 are disposed on the bottom end of the workbench 1.

[0026] The workbench 1 and the material collection table body 2 are assembled together. The material collection table body 2 is made of plastic sheet and has legs at the four corners of the bottom surface. The workbench 1 and the transparent glass cover 3 are assembled together. The bottom of the transparent glass cover 3 is open to cover the material collection table body 2.

[0027] The transparent glass cover 3 and the latex glove assembly 4 are connected by threads. There are two latex glove assemblies 4, which are arranged horizontally in sequence. The latex glove assembly 4 includes a cylindrical plastic threaded part, with a thickened latex glove fixedly connected in the middle.

[0028] The transparent glass cover 3 and the specimen channel 5 are connected by threads. The specimen channel 5 is set as an inlet channel and an outlet channel, respectively. The transparent glass cover 3 and the water outlet pipe 6 are assembled by splicing. The transparent glass cover 3 and the water inlet faucet 7 are assembled by splicing. The water inlet faucet 7 is set as a metal faucet.

[0029] The water outlet pipe 6 and the water inlet faucet 7 are all connected and fixed to the water outlet pedal 8 and the water inlet pedal 9 through pipe fittings and foot valves. Both the water outlet pedal 8 and the water inlet pedal 9 are metal pedals.

[0030] Specifically, its structure consists of a workbench 1, a sampling table body 2, a transparent glass cover 3, a latex glove assembly 4, a specimen channel 5, a water outlet pipe 6, a water inlet faucet 7, a water outlet pedal 8, and a water inlet pedal 9, forming a new type of enclosed sampling table. The workbench 1, arranged in a cabinet configuration, is used to hold the tissue specimen collection tools required by the pathologist. The workbench body 2 is covered by a transparent glass cover 3, enabling a closed collection process while allowing external observation of the specimen collection process. The transparent glass cover 3 ensures a sealed environment for specimen collection, preventing contamination. A latex glove assembly 4 allows the pathologist to perform tissue specimen collection without direct contact with the specimen by inserting their hands inside the transparent glass cover 3. A specimen channel 5 serves as the specimen transport channel, with water supply and demand via an outlet pipe 6 and an inlet faucet 7. An outlet pedal 8 and an inlet pedal 9 control the water supply and demand. Both the workbench body 2 and the transparent glass cover 3 are detachable for thorough cleaning after work. The water outlet pipe 6, controlled by the outlet pedal 8, utilizes a foot valve to control water flow. The foot valve typically consists of a foot pedal, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, and a valve body. When the user presses the foot pedal, water in the inlet pipe is forced into the control chamber of the foot pedal valve, and then flows out through the drain valve, thus dispensing water. When the foot pedal is released, the foot pedal valve automatically closes, preventing water from flowing in and entering standby mode. The foot pedal valve controls the water flow by controlling the up and down movement of the foot pedal. Specifically, when the foot pedal is pressed, water in the inlet pipe is forced into the control chamber of the foot pedal valve, and then flows out through the drain valve, thus dispensing water. When the foot pedal is released, the foot pedal valve automatically closes, preventing water from flowing in and entering standby mode.

[0031] Working Principle: Before specimen collection, the water inlet pedal 9 is used to open the water inlet faucet 7 to rinse the surface of the specimen collection table 2. The technician then hands the specimen to the collecting physician through the specimen transfer channel 5. After collection, the specimen is returned through the specimen exit channel 5. The water inlet pedal 9 is then used to open the water inlet faucet 7 to rinse the surface of the specimen collection table 2, and the water flows out through the silicone hose. This new, enclosed specimen collection table effectively prevents pathologists from inhaling excessive formalin, reducing harm to their bodies. Foot control avoids direct hand contact with the faucet, reducing the risk of specimen contamination. Foot control allows for precise water flow control, preventing waste caused by delays and conserving water resources. Furthermore, the use of non-destructive hydraulic operation ensures the foot control valve can withstand over 200,000 presses, making it durable and energy-efficient. Maintenance is simple: the equipment has a simple structure, scientific design, and is easy to disassemble and maintain.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
