Detailed Implementation

[0030] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model is a stool collection container for laboratory medicine, including a bottle body 1 with a bottle mouth 10, a bottle cap 2 connected to the bottle mouth 10, a sampling component 3 fixed on the bottle cap 2, and a cleaning component 4 provided at the bottle mouth 10 for cooperating with the sampling component 3 and cleaning off the stool sample attached to the sampling component 3; when the cleaning component 4 cleans the stool sample attached to the sampling component 3, it contacts the sampling component 3 and scrapes it; when the bottle cap 2 is closed on the bottle mouth 10, the sampling component 3 extends into the bottle body 1, and at this time the sampling component 3 and the cleaning component 4 are far apart and do not contact each other.

[0033] Both the bottle opening 10 and the bottle body 1 are made of transparent plastic, which makes it easy to observe the amount of feces retained inside the cleaning component 4.

[0034] By integrating the sampling component with the bottle cap and fixing the cleaning component inside the bottle mouth, after sampling is completed using the sampling component, the sampling component and the cleaning component 4 are brought into contact and their relative displacement is controlled to scrape each other, so that the fecal sample attached to the sampling component 3 can be cleaned off using the cleaning component 4. The operation can be repeated to complete multiple samplings.

[0035] In one feasible implementation, the bottle cap 2 and the bottle mouth 10 are threaded together; of course, in addition to the above connection, the bottle cap 2 and the bottle mouth 10 can also be engaged by a slot and a protrusion, or the bottle cap 2 and the bottle mouth 10 can also be sleeved by an interference fit.

[0036] For ease of production, such as Figure 4-5 The bottle neck 10 of this application has an annular step 11 on the top inner wall. The cleaning component 4 includes a tube 40 that is inserted into the inner wall of the bottle neck 10. In use, the bottle body 1 and the cleaning component 4 are produced independently, which facilitates subsequent assembly.

[0037] The top outer wall of the tube body 40 is provided with a protruding ring 41 that mates with the annular step portion 11; the inside of the tube body 40 is provided with a cleaning structure that works to remove the fecal sample attached to the sampling element 3.

[0038] In a specific implementation that can be achieved, such as Figure 1-5 The sampling element 3 has a rod-shaped structure and a hydrophilic coating on its peripheral sidewalls, making it convenient to use the sampling element 3 to take samples by dipping, wrapping, or other methods. It is not only convenient for sampling feces remaining in diapers or disposable diapers, but also suitable for sampling feces discharged into squat toilets.

[0039] Meanwhile, the bottle cap 2 is provided with a sleeve 21 for inserting one end of the sampling piece 3; the cleaning structure includes a "C"-shaped strip 43, and the two ends of the "C"-shaped strip 43 are respectively connected to connecting strips 42 whose ends are fixed to the inner wall of the tube body 40; when cleaning the fecal sample attached to the sampling piece 3 using the cleaning structure, the sampling piece 3 is controlled to be inserted into the "C"-shaped strip 43, and then the sampling piece 3 is controlled to scrape against the "C"-shaped strip 43 to clean the fecal sample attached to the sampling piece 3, and the sample attached to the "C"-shaped strip 43 is controlled to fall into the bottle body 1 based on the effect of gravity.

[0040] In another feasible implementation, such as Figure 6-7 The sampling component 3 includes a rod 30, and a sleeve 21 for inserting the rod 30 is provided on the bottle cap 2. A sampling spoon 31 is provided at one end of the rod 30. The cleaning structure includes a scraper 44 with both ends fixed to the inner wall of the tube 40. The sampling spoon 31 has a flat shovel-shaped structure and a serrated sampling blade at its front edge. In use, the sampling spoon 31 can be used to collect and sample feces remaining in diapers, disposable diapers, etc. After sampling is completed, the sampling spoon 31 is controlled to contact and scrape the scraper 44 to clean off the fecal sample attached to the sampling spoon 31.

[0041] The bottle mouth 10 and the bottle body 1 are an integral part, and the inner wall is coated with a hydrophobic coating with a contact angle greater than 120 degrees and a thickness of 10-20μm.

[0042] To facilitate the installation and disassembly of the cleaning component 4 and prevent it from shaking after installation, the cleaning component 4 is fixed by closing the bottle cap 2 and the bottle mouth 10 during use. Therefore, the present invention provides an elastic buffer layer 411 on the lower surface of the convex ring 41. This buffer layer is made of foamed silicone material with a thickness of 2-3mm and a compression rebound rate of more than 85%. After installation, one side of the elastic buffer layer 411 abuts against the bottom side of the annular step portion 11. Thus, when the bottle cap 2 is opened during use, the elastic buffer layer 411 unfolds. Conversely, when the bottle cap 2 is closed, the elastic buffer layer 411 is compressed by axial force.

[0043] The outer diameter of the tube body 40 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle mouth 10.

[0044] In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "example," "specific example," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
