Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pathogen detection technology, specifically relating to a rapid detection device for pathogens in aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of aquaculture, increasing stocking densities, and increasingly complex aquaculture environments, aquatic animal diseases caused by pathogen infections are becoming more frequent, posing a key threat to aquaculture yields and profitability. Early monitoring of pathogens in water bodies is fundamental for scientific prevention and control, and for improving aquaculture safety. Currently, common methods for detecting aquatic pathogens in practice include laboratory microbial culture, molecular biology detection (such as PCR), and immunochromatographic strip detection. However, laboratory testing typically suffers from long testing cycles, complex equipment, and requires highly specialized personnel, making it unsuitable for rapid screening at aquaculture sites.

[0003] Therefore, some testing solutions have begun to use test strips in conjunction with sampling devices for simple and rapid testing. While this has improved convenience, the following specific problems still exist: First, the sampling and testing processes are not integrated into one unit, requiring the use of multiple external components, which is not conducive to operation in the field or breeding sites; second, the test results are not clearly labeled, making it difficult for users to quickly distinguish the source areas of different test samples, which can easily lead to subsequent errors in judgment; and third, some structures are complex to operate during use, affecting testing efficiency and the reliability of test results. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rapid detection device for aquaculture pathogens. This device is compact, easy to operate, and capable of rapidly detecting pathogens in multiple areas of water bodies, with regional marking functions, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of pathogen detection in aquaculture sites.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A rapid detection device for aquaculture pathogens includes a placement box and a mounting base fixed to the right side of the placement box. A plastic dropper is placed inside the placement box, and a cap is detachably installed at the opening of the placement box.

[0007] The inner side of the mounting base is fitted with multiple evenly arranged test boxes. A plastic dropper draws up the sample and drips it onto the test box for testing. A cover is provided on the upper side of the mounting base. The cover is rotated and installed on the right side of the test box, and the cover covers the outside of the test box and is tightly fitted with the mounting base.

[0008] Furthermore, a handle is fixed to the left end of the placement box, and an upward-opening placement cavity is provided inside the placement box. Horizontal slots are provided on the front and rear side walls of the placement cavity, and two rotating brackets are fixed to the right end of the placement box.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper surface of the mounting base is provided with a mounting groove for installing the detection box. The front and rear side walls of the mounting groove are fixed with retaining ribs, and the right side wall of the mounting groove is provided with a clearance opening.

[0010] Furthermore, the front and rear sides of the test box are provided with snap-fit ​​grooves, and a pinch plate is fixed to the right end of the test box.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper surface of the test box is provided with a marking area, a display area and a liquid tank from left to right, and test strips are fixed inside the test box, with paper pasted inside the marking area.

[0012] Furthermore, the front and rear sides of the cap are fixed with retaining edges, and the left end of the cap is fixed with a push plate.

[0013] Furthermore, pivots are fixed on both the front and rear sides of the cover near the left end, and buckles are fixed on both the front and rear sides of the cover near the right end.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This device integrates sampling, testing, and recording functions into a single complete unit through structural integration. The container contains a plastic dropper with a removable cap, which effectively ensures the cleanliness and portability of the sampling tool. This avoids the shortcomings of existing technologies where testing components are scattered and cannot be carried uniformly, thus improving the ease of operation and testing efficiency at the breeding site.

[0016] The test kits are evenly arranged in the mounting base via a snap-fit ​​structure. Each test kit is equipped with a liquid tank, test strips, a display area, and a marking area. Users can directly record the source area of ​​the test in the marking area, and the test results are displayed intuitively in the display area. This effectively solves the problem of difficulty in matching test results with test locations and easy confusion in existing technologies, and enhances the accuracy and practicality of data traceability.

[0017] The cover adopts a flip-top structure and engages with the outside of the test box, which can form a light-shielding protection during the test process, reducing the impact of external light interference on the color development effect of the test strip, thereby improving the visual stability of the test and the accuracy of result reading, and solving the risk of misjudgment caused by the unstable test environment in existing on-site testing.

[0025] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the rapid detection device for aquaculture pathogens includes a placement box 3 and a mounting base 6 fixed on the right side of the placement box 3; a plastic dropper 2 is placed inside the placement box 3 for water sampling. The tip of the plastic dropper 2 is long and thin, which makes it easy to insert into the water for accurate sampling; a cap 1 is detachably installed at the top opening of the placement box 3. The cap 1 is used to close the placement box 3 to prevent dust or impurities from falling into the interior and affecting the cleanliness of the sampling device.

[0028] The placement box 3 has a rectangular structure, and the internal cavity size matches the plastic dropper 2 to ensure stable storage during transportation and on-site testing, avoiding damage or contamination. Multiple evenly arranged test boxes 5 are clamped inside the mounting base 6. The test boxes 5 are placed horizontally and can be quickly replaced and reused as needed.

[0029] After the plastic dropper 2 draws up the sample, it can directly drop the sample liquid into the liquid tank 54 on the test box 5. The rapid reaction detection is completed through the test paper inside the test box 5. The upper side of the mounting base 6 is provided with a cover 4. The cover 4 is an integrated flip-top structure, which is used to shield the test box 5 during the detection process to avoid external light from interfering with the reaction results.

[0030] The cover 4 is rotatably mounted on the right side of the placement box 3. The mounting point is equipped with a pivot structure to realize the opening and closing action of the cover. The cover body of the cover 4 is locked in place with the mounting base 6. After closing, a semi-sealed detection environment is formed, which helps to improve detection stability and reading accuracy.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a handle 31 is fixed to the left end of the placement box 3. The handle 31 is a convex strip structure, which makes it easy for the operator to hold the device with one hand for movement or operation. The inner side of the placement box 3 has an upward-opening placement cavity 32. The placement cavity 32 is a rectangular groove structure, which is used to place the plastic dropper 2. The size of the placement cavity 32 matches the plastic dropper 2 to ensure stable placement without slipping.

[0032] The front and rear side walls of the placement cavity 32 are provided with transverse slots 33. The slots 33 are used to engage and fix with the locking edge 12 of the cover 1, so that the cover 1 can stably cover the upper part of the placement cavity 32, thereby effectively sealing the placement cavity. The right end of the placement box 3 is fixed with two front and rear rotating brackets 34. The two rotating brackets 34 are symmetrical in structure and are both U-shaped limiting structures. They are provided with mounting holes, which cooperate with the rotating shaft 41 on the cover 4 to ensure that the cover 4 can rotate smoothly and maintain the stability of the closed position.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface of the mounting base 6 is provided with a mounting groove 62 for mounting the detection box 5. The mounting groove 62 extends longitudinally through the interior of the mounting base 6 and its shape is consistent with the outer contour of the detection box 5, so that the detection box 5 can be tightly embedded therein.

[0034] The front and rear side walls of the mounting slot 62 are fixed with retaining ribs 61. The retaining ribs 61 are raised strip structures that engage with the buckle grooves 53 on the detection box 5 to prevent the detection box 5 from shifting or loosening during use. The right side wall of the mounting slot 62 is provided with a clearance opening 63. The clearance opening 63 is a trapezoidal structure and its size matches the pinch plate 55 on the right end of the detection box 5. This provides space for the user's fingers to apply force when removing the detection box 5, improving the convenience and safety of disassembly and assembly.

[0035] like Figure 3As shown, the front and rear sides of the detection box 5 are provided with snap grooves 53. The snap grooves 53 are symmetrically arranged groove structures, and their positions correspond one-to-one with the snap ribs 61 of the mounting base 6. They are used to realize the quick snapping and disassembly of the detection box 5 and enhance the fixing effect. The right end of the detection box 5 is fixed with a pinch plate 55. The pinch plate 55 is a convex arc structure, which is suitable for the fingers to apply force to hold it. It can effectively improve the comfort and operation efficiency when taking out the detection box 5 and avoid direct contact with the detection area to prevent contamination.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface of the detection box 5 is provided with a marking area 51, a display area 52 and a liquid tank 54 from left to right; the marking area 51 is a flat surface area, and paper is pasted on the inner side of the marking area 51 for writing the detection area information. By marking the marking area 51 with a pen, the data of different detection points can be quickly identified.

[0037] Display area 52 is a transparent detection window area located directly above the test strip. The test results are presented by the color change of the test strip, allowing the operator to read the results intuitively. Liquid tank 54 is a concave groove used to receive the dripped water sample, so that the test strip can fully contact the liquid for reaction after the water sample is dripped in. The test strip is fixed inside the detection box 5. The test strip is laid horizontally below the liquid tank 54 along the detection direction. The test strip contains pathogen detection reagent, which can produce a color change for specific pathogens in the sample liquid in a short time, improving the on-site detection efficiency.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the front and rear sides of the cap 1 are fixed with locking edges 12. The locking edges 12 are protruding strip structures, which are set at the corresponding slots 33 on the placement box 3 to achieve a stable connection between the cap 1 and the placement cavity 32, preventing the plastic dropper 2 from accidentally slipping off during transportation or use.

[0039] A push plate 11 is fixed to the left end of the cap 1. The push plate 11 is a flat rod-shaped structure, which makes it easy for the user to open the cap 1 by pushing it horizontally, exposing the placement cavity 32 so as to take out the plastic dropper 2 for water sample collection, thus improving the smoothness of operation during use.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, rotating shafts 41 are fixed on both the front and rear sides of the cover 4 near the left end. The rotating shafts 41 are used to hinge with the rotating bracket 34 on the placement box 3 to realize the opening or closing action of the cover 4 in the vertical direction, so that the user can open the detection area during the detection process.

[0041] The front and rear sides of the cover 4 are fixed with buckle plates 42 near the right end. The buckle plates 42 are hook-shaped structures, and their lower edges engage with the upper edge of the mounting base 6 to close and lock the cover 4, so that the detection box 5 is in a closed and light-proof state during the reaction process, effectively avoiding environmental interference and improving the visual stability and reliability of the detection results.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When detecting pathogens in the water of an aquaculture area, the cover 1 is opened by pushing the push plate 11. At this time, the plastic dropper 2 is taken out to sample the water. Then, the cover 4 is lifted up, and the sampled water is dripped into the liquid tank 54 using the plastic dropper 2. As the water drips to the test strip, the display area 52 displays the test results. Then, the test area is written on the marking area 51 of the corresponding test box 5. Then, the water in other areas is sampled and tested, and the corresponding test areas are written in sequence. Thus, the sampling and testing of pathogens in the water of different areas of the aquaculture area can be completed at one time, which has a better detection effect. Moreover, the overall detection operation is convenient and quick.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
