Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hole punching technology, and specifically relates to a hole punch with a sample collection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, routine examinations for newborns and children under one year old require the collection of small amounts of blood, which is relatively difficult. Instead, blood is collected from the heel or vein and dripped onto blank filter paper, dried, and made into dried blood filter paper for sample testing. Dried blood filter paper samples have advantages such as ease of preservation and transportation and have been widely used in the detection of newborn diseases, such as newborn genetic disease screening, gene testing for safe medication use in children, and vitamin peripheral blood testing.

[0003] When using dried blood filter paper samples for testing, a punch is needed to punch holes in each blood smear sample. The resulting filter paper samples are then collected into sample processing tubes, numbered, and then proceeded to the next step of the testing process.

[0004] However, current hole punchers are manual, requiring manual preprocessing of each sample. This is very time-consuming and labor-intensive if the sample volume is too large, and the personnel cannot leave the site. Therefore, we hope to design a hole puncher with a novel structure to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a puncher with a sample collection structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology.

In actual use, the collection component can be raised and lowered to the lower side of each sample plate with the cooperation of the guide rods and telescopic rods, so that the collection component can better collect the dried blood filter paper samples collected by perforation.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the collection assembly includes a positioning plate, a collection cylinder, and a fixing frame. The upper surface of the fixing frame has four sets of linearly distributed blind holes, with three blind holes in each set.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a collection tube is movably placed inside each of the blind holes, and a positioning plate with a T-shaped structure is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the fixing frame.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the sample placement assembly further includes a pressure plate, wherein a pressure plate is movably mounted on the upper side of each sample plate, and the length and width of the pressure plate are matched with the length and width of the sample plate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the lower right surface of the sample plate is provided with a plurality of gripping slots that cooperate with the robotic arm installed inside the right side of the punching device body. The upper surface of the sample plate is provided with four sets of slots facing downward, and each set is provided with three slots arranged in a linear distribution.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, each of the slots extends downward to form a through hole, and the number, distribution position, and size of the multiple through holes are matched with the number, distribution position, and size of the upper opening of the multiple collection cylinders.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the pressure plate has four sets of through slots facing downwards, and each set has three through slots arranged linearly. The number and distribution of the through slots match the number and distribution of the card slots. The lower end of each through slot extends downwards to form a convex frame, and the lower end of the convex frame is movably inserted into the card slot. In actual use, the pressure plate can press and fix the dried blood filter paper sample placed inside the card slot, preventing it from shifting during punching.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting up a punching device body in conjunction with a sample placement component, it is not necessary for personnel to stay at the device all the time, which helps to reduce the labor intensity of operators, so that they do not have to stay in front of the device to supervise it, and can process a large number of samples.

[0017] By setting up a liftable collection component, the processed filter paper samples are collected into the corresponding sorted collection tubes according to their order, which facilitates subsequent sample operations and enables the equipment to handle large-scale sample processing.
