Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of nasal secretion collection technology, specifically relating to a nasal secretion collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Collecting nasal secretions can detect the presence of specific allergens, inflammatory factors, and pathogens, such as viruses (e.g., influenza virus), bacteria, and fungi. This helps to clarify the type and etiological diagnosis of allergic and infectious diseases. A collection device is required when collecting nasal secretions.

[0003] When collecting nasal secretions, a cotton swab soaked in nasal secretions is placed inside a sampling tube, which is then sealed. Medical personnel then transport the tube to a laboratory for testing (e.g., for nasal allergen testing, or during viral outbreaks, where medical personnel collect secretions and place the tube in their pocket; smaller medical institutions with insufficient internal testing equipment may send samples to tertiary hospitals or specialized testing institutions). However, current technology lacks independent packaging for sampling tubes and a mechanism to restrain them. During transport, sampling tubes are often mixed together, leading to direct collisions. This can cause the tube caps to loosen, resulting in sample contamination, and the collisions may damage the internal cellular structure of the tubes, affecting test results. Therefore, this paper proposes a technical solution to address the problems of existing technology, such as the lack of independent packaging for sampling tubes, the absence of a restraining mechanism, the mixing of sampling tubes, direct collisions, loosening of tube caps, sample contamination, and potential damage to the internal cellular structure of the tubes, all of which affect test results. On the other hand, existing sampling cotton pads are generally rectangular with right angles, which can easily cause excessive stimulation or damage to the nasal mucosa during the collection process. Therefore, a rounded corner design is proposed to reduce stimulation and damage to the mucosa. In addition, patients with severe nasal symptoms may accidentally aspirate the cotton pad into the nasopharynx or airway due to sneezing or sneezing. Therefore, it is proposed that the cotton pad contain a radiopaque line, which can be placed on both sides of the nose to reduce the risk of aspiration. In the event of aspiration, the cotton pad can be quickly located and removed based on the position of the radiopaque line. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a nasal secretion collection device. This device aims to solve the problems of existing technologies where sampling tubes lack independent packaging and a mechanism to limit their position. When sampling tubes are mixed together, they collide directly with each other, which can easily cause the tube caps to loosen, resulting in sample contamination. Furthermore, collisions may damage the internal cell structure of the sampling tubes, affecting the test results.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A nasal secretion collection device includes a bag body with a transparent bag on its side and a partition layer in the middle of the bag body. Two sets of limiting holes are provided on the partition layer, and two sets of sampling tubes are slidably engaged with the limiting holes. Tube caps are threadedly installed on both sets of sampling tubes. Two sets of cotton pads are placed on the upper surface of the partition layer. Thanks to the bag body, partition layer, and limiting holes, the sampling tubes are effectively positioned, preventing them from colliding and mixing together. This prevents the tube caps from loosening and contaminating the samples inside the tubes, ensuring accurate test results. Furthermore, the transparent bag facilitates observation of whether the sampling tubes have been used.

[0007] Optionally, a first note is provided on the side of the bag away from the transparent bag.

[0008] Optionally, the upper part of the bag is provided with a zipper, and two sets of symmetrically distributed buckles are installed in the middle of the upper part of the bag.

[0009] Optionally, the sampling tube has scale lines on its surface and a second sticky note on its side.

[0010] Optionally, the sampling tube has an external thread on its upper part.

[0011] Optionally, the sampling tube is movably connected to the tube cap via an external thread. The tube cap has a threaded hole that matches the external thread. Two sets of symmetrically distributed rotating plates are provided at both ends of the tube cap. A sealing ring is provided at the bottom of the threaded hole of the tube cap. Thanks to the setting of the sealing ring, the sealing effect of the sampling tube is increased, preventing external air from entering the sampling tube and thus preventing nasal secretions from being contaminated.

[0012] Optionally, the top of the sampling tube may abut against the sealing ring.

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

[0014] This invention allows for easy observation of whether the sampling tube has been used by using a transparent bag.

[0015] By setting up the bag body, the dividing layer, and the limiting hole, the sampling tube is limited, preventing the sampling tubes from mixing together and colliding directly. This prevents the sampling tube cap from loosening, prevents the sample inside the sampling tube from being contaminated, and ensures the accuracy of the test results. After the tube cap is threaded on, the sampling tube is aligned with the limiting hole and inserted. Then the zipper is closed, and the bag body is carried.

[0016] The sealing ring enhances the sealing effect of the sampling tube, preventing external air from entering and thus preventing nasal secretions from contaminating it. As the tube cap moves downwards, the sealing ring slides along the inner wall of the sampling tube, further improving the sealing effect. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a nasal secretion collection device, including a bag body 1, a transparent bag 2 on the side of the bag body 1, a partition layer 6 in the middle of the inside of the bag body 1, and two sets of limiting holes 9 on the partition layer 6. The limiting holes 9 are engaged with two sets of sampling tubes 3. Specifically, the limiting holes 9 and the sampling tubes 3 are interference-fitted so that after the sampling tubes 3 are inserted into the limiting holes 9, the sampling tubes 3 will not come out of the limiting holes 9 during transportation. Two sets of sampling tubes 3 are connected by a tube cap 10 via threads. Two sets of cotton pads 7 are placed on the upper surface of the partition layer 6. A first note 8 is provided on the side of the bag body 1 away from the transparent bag 2. A zipper 4 is provided on the upper part of the bag body 1. Two sets of symmetrically distributed pull tabs 5 are installed in the middle of the upper part of the bag body 1. When it is necessary to collect nasal secretions, the zipper 4 is opened by pulling tabs 5, thereby opening the bag body 1. Then, the cotton pads 7 are taken out, the sampling tube 3 is pulled out from the limiting hole 9, and then the cotton pads 7 are inserted into the nasal cavity to collect secretions. Then, the tube cap 10 is disengaged from the sampling tube 3 by rotating the rotating plate 11, thereby opening the sampling tube 3. Then, the cotton pads 7 are placed inside the sampling tube 3, and then the tube cap 10 is screwed into the sampling tube 3. The sampling tube 3 is inserted into the limiting hole 9 in the partition layer 6, and the zipper 4 is closed.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sampling tube 3 has a scale line 13 on its surface and a second sticky note 14 on its side. The upper part of the sampling tube 3 has an external thread 12. The sampling tube 3 is screwed into the threaded hole 16 of the tube cap 10 through the external thread 12. The tube cap 10 has a threaded hole 16 that matches the external thread 12. The tube cap 10 has two sets of symmetrically distributed rotating plates 11 at both ends. The bottom of the threaded hole 16 of the tube cap 10 has a sealing ring 15. After the sampling tube 3 and the tube cap 10 are screwed on, the top of the sampling tube 3 abuts against the sealing ring 15. When the sampling tube 3 moves, the sealing ring 15 increases the sealing of the inside of the sampling tube 3, preventing external air from entering the inside of the sampling tube 3, thereby preventing nasal secretions from being contaminated.

[0027] The workflow of this utility model's technical solution is as follows:

[0028] When nasal secretions need to be collected, open the zipper 4 by pulling the buckle 5 to open the bag 1, then take out the cotton pad 7 and the sampling tube 3. Then insert the cotton pad 7 into the nasal cavity to collect the secretions. Then, rotate the rotating plate 11 to drive the tube cap 10 away from the sampling tube 3, thereby opening the sampling tube 3. Then, put the cotton pad 7 into the sampling tube 3. (When putting in the cotton pad 7, make sure that the position of the nasal cavity to be collected is consistent with the number of the sampling tube 3. There are two sets of sampling tubes 3. Write "left" and "right" on the second sticky note 14 respectively for the two sets of sampling tubes 3. To collect the left nasal cavity, put the cotton pad 7 into the corresponding left sampling tube 3, and then attach the barcode with personnel information.)

[0029] When diagnosing nasal inflammation, secretions from both the left and right nasal cavities need to be collected. If only one nasal cavity secretion needs to be collected, only one sampling tube 3 and one cotton pad 7 can be used (for example, when collecting virus, the internal volume of sampling tube 3 is 2ml, and sampling tube 3 has graduations). Then, the tube cap 10 and sampling tube 3 are screwed on. When sampling tube 3 is moved, the sealing ring 15 increases the internal sealing of sampling tube 3 to prevent external air from entering the sampling tube 3, thereby preventing nasal secretions from being contaminated. Then, sampling tube 3 is placed into the limiting hole 9 in the partition layer 6 (bag body 1, partition layer 6, and transparent bag 2 are all made of polyethylene, and bag body 1, partition layer 6, and transparent bag 2 can be folded). The zipper 4 is closed, and the product is introduced through the first sticky note 8 (such as the size and volume of sampling tube 3). Then, the entire bag body 1 is placed into the collection bag for overall transport of the device.

[0030] The bag body 1, the separator 6, and the limiting hole 9 are designed to limit the sampling tube 3, preventing multiple sampling tubes 3 from colliding directly when mixed together. This prevents the tube cap 10 of the sampling tube 3 from becoming loose, prevents the sample inside the sampling tube 3 from being contaminated, and ensures the accuracy of the test results. The sealing ring 15 is designed to increase the sealing effect of the sampling tube 3, preventing external air from entering the sampling tube 3 and thus preventing nasal secretions from being contaminated.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
