Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collection bottle technology, and in particular to a double-sterilized sputum collection bottle. Background Technology
[0002] A sputum collection bottle is a container used to collect sputum, typically in medical or nursing settings, to help patients collect sputum safely and hygienically.
[0003] Patients' sputum often contains pathogens, and the bottles used to collect sputum are exposed to the air for a long time, which can lead to the spread of pathogens and increase the risk of cross-infection. Therefore, it is necessary to provide double-sterilized sputum collection bottles to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a double-sterilized sputum collection bottle to solve the problem mentioned in the background art, where patients' sputum usually contains pathogens, and the sputum collection bottle is exposed to the air for a long time, which can lead to the spread of pathogens and increase the risk of cross-infection.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model is a double-sterilized sputum collection bottle, comprising:
[0007] A collection assembly, comprising a collection bottle and a funnel, wherein the funnel is fixed to the upper end of the collection bottle;
[0008] The secondary disinfection component includes a receiving chamber, a first connecting pipe, a second connecting pipe, a duckbill-shaped check valve, and a liquid outlet. The bottom surface of the receiving chamber is fixed to the outer side of the lower end of the funnel. The first connecting pipe is fixed to the middle of the lower end of the receiving chamber and communicates with the funnel. The second connecting pipe is fixed to the middle of the lower end of the first connecting pipe. The upper end of the duckbill-shaped check valve is screwed to the outer side of the second connecting pipe. The liquid outlet is opened in the upper section of the funnel.
[0009] Furthermore, the secondary disinfection component also includes an injection tube, a rubber stopper, and a knob. The injection tube is fixed to the upper side of the receiving chamber and communicates with the inside of the receiving chamber. The rubber stopper is screwed into the inside of the injection tube, and the knob is fixed to one end of the rubber stopper.
[0010] Furthermore, the secondary disinfection component also includes a locking block and a sealing plate. The locking block is inserted into the top of the receiving chamber, and the sealing plate is fixed to the top of the locking block and glued to the top of the receiving chamber and the funnel.
[0011] Furthermore, the collection bottle includes a bottle body, a bottle spout, a handle, and a scale. The bottle spout is integrally formed and connected to the top of the bottle body, the handle is fixed to the side of the bottle body, and the scale is engraved on the side of the bottle body.
[0012] Furthermore, the first connecting pipe is screwed onto the upper end of the bottle mouth, and the second connecting pipe and the duckbill-shaped check valve are inserted into the inside of the bottle mouth.
[0013] Furthermore, the lower section inside the bottle contains disinfectant, and the space between the receiving chamber and the funnel also contains disinfectant.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0015] This invention utilizes a secondary disinfection component. Disinfectant is injected into the bottle. Holding the first connecting tube, the patient rotates it to connect to the bottle mouth. Rotating the knob opens the rubber stopper, allowing disinfectant to be added to the receiving chamber through the injection tube. The patient holds the bottle mouth and spits sputum into the funnel, where it slides to the bottom. The other hand holds the receiving chamber and presses the center, squeezing the funnel. The duckbill-shaped check valve is subjected to downward pressure, opening at its lower end, allowing sputum to fall into the bottle. Simultaneously, some of the disinfectant in the receiving chamber is squeezed upwards and flows out from the outlet hole on the funnel. Releasing the receiving chamber causes the duckbill-shaped check valve to close due to lack of pressure, while the disinfectant flowing from the outlet hole flows down the funnel wall until it reaches above the duckbill-shaped check valve, ready for the next use. This design disinfects both the sputum and the funnel, reducing the probability of pathogen transmission. Attached Figure Description

Holding the first connecting tube 21, it is rotated to connect to the bottle mouth 11. Rotating knob 26 opens rubber stopper 25. Disinfectant is added to the receiving chamber 20 through injection tube 24. The patient holds bottle mouth 11 and spits sputum into funnel 14. The sputum slides to the bottom of funnel 14. The other hand holds receiving chamber 20 and presses the middle of receiving chamber 20. Funnel 14 is squeezed. Duckbill-shaped check valve 23 is subjected to downward pressure and its lower end opens. Sputum falls into bottle 10. At the same time, part of the disinfectant in receiving chamber 20 is squeezed upward and flows out from the outlet hole 29 on funnel 14. Then, receiving chamber 20 is released. Duckbill-shaped check valve 23 lacks pressure and its lower end closes. The disinfectant flowing out from outlet hole 29 flows down the wall of funnel 14 until it flows above duckbill-shaped check valve 23, to be saved for the next use.
[0040] This step serves two purposes: firstly, it disinfects the sputum that has been coughed up, and secondly, it disinfects the funnel 14, reducing the probability of pathogen transmission.
