Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rapid detection technology, and in particular to a convenient cortisol detection device. Background Technology

[0002] The fluid on the surface of the oral cavity is terminal saliva, also known as whole saliva. Human saliva is mainly secreted by the major salivary glands (parotid, sublingual, and submandibular glands) and other minor salivary glands. It contains 99% water and inorganic salts such as sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorate, bicarbonate, and phosphate, as well as organic compounds such as uric acid, lactate, hormones, polypeptides, and proteins. Studies have found that various hormones and protein components in the blood are also present in saliva. Saliva can reflect changes in the levels of various hormones and proteins in the blood, making it possible to use saliva for hygiene and disease prevention, biochemical testing, and disease diagnosis.

[0003] With societal progress and improved living standards, people have increasingly higher demands for medical examinations, calling for non-invasive, convenient, and rapid testing and diagnostic methods. Advances in science and technology have made the establishment of non-invasive examination methods possible, and saliva samples have received widespread attention from researchers. Compared to serum samples, saliva collection is safe, convenient, non-invasive, and poses no risk of bloodborne disease transmission; it is painless and easily accepted by patients. Compared to urine samples, saliva has the advantage of real-time sampling.

[0004] Cortisol is the primary glucocorticoid in humans, playing a regulatory role in multiple physiological processes, including immune responses, metabolism, and stress responses. Its secretion levels are influenced by various factors, including the circadian rhythm, emotional stress, and disease states. Saliva cortisol is often referred to as the "stress hormone," and its levels rise when the body experiences physiological, psychological, or emotional stress. This helps mobilize the body to increase alertness and cope with emergencies, while some other functions are "dormant." Although cortisol has many positive effects on the body, persistently high levels can have adverse effects. Therefore, salivary cortisol is an important indicator for monitoring mental and psychological health.

[0005] Currently, there are few portable cortisol testing systems on the market. In the past, if there was a need, samples usually had to be sent to a laboratory for testing. However, during transportation, the samples may deteriorate, affecting the test results. At the same time, the transportation method results in high transportation costs and long feedback time, which are issues that need to be improved. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the described embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. The use of terms such as "a" or "an" in this patent application specification and claims does not indicate a limitation of quantity, but rather indicates the presence of at least one.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 This application will be described in further detail.

[0022] This application discloses a convenient cortisol detection device.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 A portable cortisol testing device includes a testing box 1, which comprises a main box 11 and a lid 12 hinged together. The main box 11 and the lid 12 are sealed on the side away from the hinge by at least one latch (not shown in the figure). The thickness of the lid 12 is at least twice the thickness of the main box 11. A handle 10 is installed on the side wall of the lid 12 near the main box 11 to facilitate the taking and carrying of the entire device. The maximum rotation angle between the lid 12 and the main box 11 is in the range of 90° to 120°.

[0024] Furthermore, the main box 11 contains a centrifuge 2, a shaker 3, a detection mechanism 4, multiple test tubes 5, and at least one biological sampler 6. The inner wall of the box cover 12 is provided with a display panel 7 that is electrically connected to the centrifuge 2, the shaker 3, and the detection mechanism 4. During testing, the biological sampler collects the subject's saliva and puts it into the test tube 5. The centrifuge 2 is used to separate and purify the saliva in the test tube 5. Then, the shaker 3 is used to mix the saliva with the test reagent. Finally, the detection device is used to obtain the data. The test data can be displayed on the display panel 7 so that the tester can quickly obtain the test results. In this embodiment, the use of the centrifuge 2, the shaker 3, the detection mechanism 4, the biological sampler 6, and the display panel 7 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail. It is preferable to have two biological samplers 6 to facilitate rapid testing when there are multiple people to be tested.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 Furthermore, the main housing 11 has an insert groove 111 that matches the shape of the centrifuge 2, shaker 3, detection mechanism 4, and biological sampler 6. Each detection device is fitted into the insert groove 111 with a transition fit or interference fit. The inner wall of the cover 12 has a locking groove 121 that matches the shape of the centrifuge 2, shaker 3, and detection mechanism 4. Each detection device is locked into the locking groove 121 with a transition fit or clearance fit. The insert groove 111 ensures that each detection device in the detection housing 1 is stably placed during detection and carrying. The locking groove 121 protects each detection device during the carrying of the device.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 A hanging bracket 8 is rotatably installed inside the lid 12. The hanging bracket 8 can be rotatably embedded inside the lid 12 or rotated to be perpendicular to the inner wall of the lid 12. A limiting plate 122 is integrally formed inside the lid 12 to restrict the rotation of the hanging bracket 8. A hook 61 is installed on the biological sample sampler 6, which makes it convenient for the testing personnel to place the biological sample sampler 6 during testing intervals or during testing, and avoids arbitrarily placing and contaminating the biological sample sampler 6.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The main box 11 contains a test tube box 9. The test tube box 9 has multiple insertion holes 91 integrally formed inside. Multiple test tubes 5 are inserted into the insertion holes 91 to facilitate the unified storage of test samples.

[0028] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
