The purpose of sputum specimen collection is to examine the cells and bacteria in the sputum, and to observe its nature, color, odor, and quantity to assist in the diagnosis of respiratory system diseases.

[0003] Currently, when collecting sputum samples from patients in clinical practice, a round box with a lid is used. When patients collect sputum samples, sputum may get on the edge of the opening of the box. When the lid is closed, the sputum can easily get on the hands, which is not hygienic. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sputum specimen collection box to solve the technical problem that the current collection box is easy to get on the hands when collecting patients' sputum, which is not hygienic.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a sputum specimen storage box, which includes a cylindrical box body and a lid. A connecting sleeve is provided on the outer sleeve of the box body, which can slide back and forth along the box body. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve, and the connecting rod is tangent to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve. The end of the connecting rod away from the connecting sleeve is rotatably connected to the side wall of the lid and is tangent to the side wall of the lid. Two connecting rods are provided and are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the connecting sleeve.

[0006] Preferably, an upper stop ring is provided on the outer wall of the box near the opening to limit the connection sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, a lower stop ring is provided at the end of the outer wall of the box near the bottom to limit the connection sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the connecting sleeve is vertically connected to a first connecting member that is integrally T-shaped. The first connecting member cooperates with a connecting hole provided on the connecting rod to realize a rotational connection between the connecting rod and the connecting sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the cover is provided with a second connector with the same structure as the first connector, which cooperates with the connecting hole provided at the other end of the connecting rod to realize the rotational connection between the connecting rod and the cover.

[0010] Preferably, the lid and the box body are connected by a threaded connection.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the technical solution of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention relates to a device where the lid is connected to the box body via a connecting rod and a connecting sleeve. The connecting rod and connecting sleeve allow the lid to move relative to the box body, closing the lid and box. The user can connect the lid to the box body simply by driving the connecting sleeve, eliminating the need for hands to approach the opening of the box and preventing sputum contamination, thus improving hygiene. By fitting the connecting sleeve onto the box body, the sleeve can slide back and forth relative to the box body. Two connecting rods are symmetrically connected to the outer wall of the box, with the other ends of the two rods rotatably connected to the side wall of the lid, achieving a continuous connection between the lid and the box body. When collecting sputum, rotating the connecting rod and moving the connecting sleeve opens the lid and box body, placing it in a suitable position. After collecting sputum, rotating the connecting rod and moving the connecting sleeve positions the lid above the box body, driving the connecting sleeve downwards. The connecting rod's linkage then moves the lid, closing it to the box body, thus completing the sputum sample collection. During this process, the user's hands do not need to approach the opening of the box, preventing sputum contamination and improving hygiene. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments, and do not limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0020] Example 1, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a sputum specimen storage box includes a box body 1 and a lid 2. The box body 1 is cylindrical with an internal cavity and an opening at the top. The lid 2 cooperates with the box body 1 to close the box body 1.

[0021] A connecting sleeve 3 is fitted onto the box body 1. The inner hole of the connecting sleeve 3 matches the shape of the outer wall of the box body 1, and the connecting sleeve 3 can slide back and forth along the box body 1. Two connecting rods 4 are rotatably connected to both sides of the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 3. The two connecting rods 4 are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the connecting sleeve 3; the connecting rods 4 are tangent to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 3. The ends of the connecting rods 4 away from the connecting sleeve 3 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the lid 2 and are tangent to the side wall of the lid 2, realizing an adjustable connection between the lid 2 and the box body 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, a small gap is provided between the connecting sleeve 3 and the box body 1, so that the connecting sleeve 3 can slide relative to the box body 1 and can be positioned due to friction, so as to ensure the operability of the cover 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, the entire storage box body 1, lid 2, connecting sleeve 4, connecting rod 4, etc. are made of plastic material, which can withstand a certain stress and produce a certain deformation.

[0024] This utility model discloses a sputum specimen storage box. In use, the user moves the connecting sleeve 3 along the box body 1 to detach the lid 2 from the box body 1. Rotating the connecting rod 4 causes the lid 2 to rotate to one side or below the box body 1. The user collects sputum into the inner cavity of the box body 1. After collection, the user closes the lid 2 onto the box body 1. Specifically, the user rotates the connecting rod 4 so that the lid 1 is on one side of the box body 1, moves the connecting sleeve 3 upwards, and rotates the connecting rod 4 so that the lid 2 is directly above the box body 1. The user then operates the connecting sleeve 3, which, through the connecting rod 4, moves the lid 2 to close it onto the box body 1. The entire process of closing the lid 2 is controlled by the connecting sleeve 3, eliminating the need for direct hand contact with the lid 2 and thus avoiding contact with the opening and surrounding areas of the box body 1. This prevents accidental sputum contamination at the box opening from transferring to the user's hands, improving hygiene.

[0025] Furthermore, an upper stop ring 7 is provided on the outer wall of the box body 1 near the upper opening, and a lower stop ring 8 is provided on the outer wall of the box body 1 near the bottom. The connecting sleeve 3 is located between the upper stop ring 7 and the lower stop ring 8, which limits the connecting sleeve 3 and effectively prevents the connecting sleeve 3 from falling off the box body 1.

[0026] Furthermore, a first connecting member 5 is vertically connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 3. The first connecting member 5 includes a connecting post vertically connected to the connecting sleeve 3 and a limiting circular plate connected to the end of the connecting post. The overall structure is simple and can be integrally formed with the connecting sleeve. A connecting hole is provided on the connecting rod 4, which is sleeved on the connecting post and limited by the limiting circular plate to realize the rotational connection between the connecting rod 4 and the connecting sleeve 3.

[0027] Furthermore, a second connector 6 is provided on the side wall of the cover 2. The structure of the second connector 6 is the same as that of the first connector 5, and it cooperates with the connecting hole provided on the connecting rod 4 to realize the rotational connection between the connecting rod 4 and the cover 2.

[0028] Furthermore, the lid 2 and the box body 1 are connected by a threaded connection, which facilitates the achievement of reliability and sealing requirements.

[0029] Example 2, a sputum specimen storage box, differs from Example 1 in that the lid and the box body are connected by a snap fastener, making the structure simpler. Other structural details will not be elaborated here.

[0030] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
