Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of collection device technology, specifically relating to an automatic collection device for animal oral and nasal secretions. Background Technology

[0002] An automated animal oral and nasal secretion collection device is a specialized instrument for automatically collecting oral and nasal secretions from animals. This device has wide applications in animal disease monitoring and scientific research, improving sampling efficiency and reducing errors and infection risks associated with manual operation.

[0003] However, existing automated animal oral and nasal secretion collection devices still have certain problems. One issue is how to detach the collection tube from the sealing stopper after collection. If the air suction tube is rigid, difficulties arise in practice because it lacks sufficient flexibility to accommodate the stopper's upward movement. Conversely, while a flexible tube can easily open the sealing stopper, the operator then needs to hold the stopper with one hand to prevent it from falling while simultaneously removing the collection tube with the other. This method is not only cumbersome but also makes it difficult to close the collection tube cap when both hands are occupied.

[0004] In another scenario, if the sealed bottle stopper is placed on the base after opening, the collected secretions can easily adhere to the base due to the contact between the stopper and the base. This not only wastes the sample but may also interfere with subsequent laboratory analysis. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic collection device for animal oral and nasal secretions, which aims to solve the problem that the existing devices lack a fixed structure for sealing the bottle stopper and cooperate with the air suction tube to facilitate the opening of the sealing bottle stopper.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic collection device for animal oral and nasal secretions, comprising a base, a negative pressure suction device, a sealing cover, a connecting tube, and a collector. A connecting rod is vertically installed at the top of the base, and a support rod is movably connected to the top of the connecting rod. A fixing block is installed at the top of the support rod, and the fixing block is integrally connected to the sealing cover. An adjusting sleeve is connected at the connection between the connecting rod and the support rod. A slider is installed on the inner sidewall of the adjusting sleeve, and a groove is formed on the outer sidewall of the connecting rod.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the automatic collection device for animal oral and nasal secretions according to this utility model, the outer wall of the support rod is threaded, the inner wall of the opening connecting the adjusting sleeve and the support rod is threaded, and the support rod and the adjusting sleeve are threadedly connected.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the automatic collection device for animal oral and nasal secretions according to this utility model, the chute and the slider are adapted to each other, and the chute and the slider are in a "T" shape.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the automatic animal oral and nasal secretion collection device of this utility model, the adjusting sleeve is rotatably connected to the slider and the connecting rod via a sliding groove.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an automatic collection device for animal oral and nasal secretions is provided, wherein a collection tube is connected to the top of the base, a bidirectional threaded rod is assembled inside the base, a bearing is installed at one end of the bidirectional threaded rod, a threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod, and a clamping block is connected to the top of the threaded sleeve.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the automatic animal oral and nasal secretion collection device of this utility model, the opposing threads on the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod are symmetrical, and the bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the base via a bearing.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the automatic collection device for animal oral and nasal secretions according to this utility model, the clamping block forms a threaded motion between the threaded sleeve and the bidirectional threaded rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention achieves flexible adjustment of the sealing cap through the coordinated action of the connecting rod, support rod, and adjusting sleeve, and can also pull the connecting tube to move accordingly, thus freeing the use of the sealing cap from the influence of the connecting tube. This facilitates the use of the sealing cap and the collection tube. In addition, through the ingenious cooperation of the clamping block and the bidirectional threaded rod, the collection tube can be easily fixed to the top of the base. This design ensures that collection tubes of different sizes can be securely fixed. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic collection device for animal oral and nasal secretions, including a base 1, a negative pressure suction device 2, a sealing cover 3, a connecting tube 4 and a collector 5. A connecting rod 7 is vertically installed at the top of the base 1, and a support rod 8 is movably connected to the top of the connecting rod 7. A fixing block 9 is installed at the top of the support rod 8, and the fixing block 9 is integrally connected with the sealing cover 3. An adjusting sleeve 10 is connected at the connection between the connecting rod 7 and the support rod 8. A slider 11 is installed on the inner side wall of the adjusting sleeve 10, and a groove 12 is opened on the outer side wall of the connecting rod 7.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment: the outer wall of the support rod 8 is threaded, the inner wall of the opening where the adjusting sleeve 10 connects to the support rod 8 is threaded, and the support rod 8 and the adjusting sleeve 10 are threadedly connected.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment: the slide groove 12 is adapted to the slider 11, and the slide groove 12 and the slider 11 are in a "T" shape.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment: the adjusting sleeve 10 is rotatably connected to the slider 11 and the connecting rod 7 via the sliding groove 12.

[0026] In this embodiment, the automatic collection device first inserts the collector 5 into the animal's oral and nasal cavities, then activates the negative pressure suction device 2. The negative pressure suction generated by the suction device 2 draws the secretions through the opening of the collector 5, achieving automatic collection. The secretions are then fed into the collection tube 6 through the connecting tube 4. The connecting tube 4, which connects the negative pressure suction device 2 to the sealing cap 3, is made of a soft material. The connecting tube 4, which connects to the collector 5, is made of a rigid material.

[0027] It is worth noting that oral and nasal secretions from animals must be collected separately. If oral secretions are collected first, the collection device 5 must be thoroughly cleaned before collecting nasal secretions. Conversely, if nasal secretions are collected first, the collection device 5 must be thoroughly cleaned before collecting oral secretions. This prevents cross-contamination of the collected samples. Similarly, different collection tubes 6 may be used to collect different types of samples from the animal's oral and nasal secretions.

[0028] Furthermore, after the collection tube 6 completes the collection of animal oral and nasal secretions, the sealing cap 3 needs to be separated from the collection tube 6, and then another collection tube cap is connected to the collection tube 6. During the separation of the sealing cap 3 from the collection tube 6, the adjusting sleeve 10 is first rotated, causing the slider 11 to move in a circular motion along the groove 12. Since the adjusting sleeve 10 and the support rod 8 are connected by a thread, the rotation of the adjusting sleeve 10 causes the support rod 8 to move upward, thereby lifting the fixing block 9. The rise of the fixing block 9 then lifts the sealing cap 3, thus easily separating the sealing cap 3 from the collection tube 6. This ensures that the use of the sealing cap 3 is no longer restricted by the position of the connecting tube 4, greatly simplifying the connection process between the sealing cap 3 and the collection tube 6.

[0029] This innovative design effectively avoids the problems that may be encountered when using rigid connecting tube 4. Rigid tubes lack the necessary flexibility and are difficult to adapt to the movement of the sealing cap 3. While flexible tubes make it easier to open the sealing cap 3, the operator then needs to hold it steady with one hand to prevent it from falling, and remove the collection tube 6 with the other hand. This operation is cumbersome and requires both hands, making it difficult to ensure the collection tube cap is closed.

[0030] Meanwhile, this design also solves the sample contamination problem that may occur when the sealing cap 3 is placed directly on the base 1 after being opened in the traditional method. In the past, direct contact between the sealing cap 3 and the base 1 easily caused secretions to adhere to it, which not only resulted in sample waste but may also interfere with subsequent laboratory analysis results. Example 2

[0031] Please see Figure 1-4 The top of the base 1 is connected to the collection tube 6. The inside of the base 1 is equipped with a bidirectional threaded rod 13. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod 13 is equipped with a bearing 14. The surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 13 is threadedly connected to a threaded sleeve 15. The top of the threaded sleeve 15 is connected to a clamping block 16.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the opposite threads on the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 13 are symmetrical, and the bidirectional threaded rod 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the base 1 via a bearing 14.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping block 16 forms a threaded motion between the threaded sleeve 15 and the bidirectional threaded rod 13.

[0034] In this embodiment, to address the issue of varying sizes of the collection tubes 6, the rotational movement of the bidirectional threaded rod 13 along the inner ring of the bearing 14 drives two threaded sleeves 15 to approach or move away from each other along their threaded paths. As the threaded sleeves 15 move, the clamping blocks 16 connected to them also move synchronously, thereby adjusting the distance between the two clamping blocks 16. This mechanism ensures that collection tubes 6 of different sizes can be securely fixed, effectively solving the fixing problem caused by size differences and significantly improving the applicability and flexibility of the device.

[0035] 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.
