Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of liquid sample collection and detection technology, and in particular to a liquid sample collection and detection device with anti-peeping function. Background Technology
[0002] Liquid sample collection and testing technologies, especially urine testing, are widely used in various fields such as medicine, law enforcement, sports, and the workplace as a rapid and convenient laboratory method. Urine tests are typically used to detect specific "indicators" in urine, such as special chemicals, hormones, antibodies, or antigens, and play a particularly important role in drug testing. As the primary tool for urine collection and testing, the design and function of the urine cup directly affect the accuracy of the test and the protection of the subject's privacy.
[0003] Traditional urine cups typically contain one or more test strips as testing elements. These strips adhere tightly to the inner wall of the cup and detect specific substances in the urine through a chemical reaction. The results are interpreted by observing the color change of the test strip. However, this design makes the test results easily observable by others, especially in public places or when multiple people are being tested simultaneously, potentially leading to a breach of privacy. If a false positive occurs, or if the test strip changes color and shows a positive result after the prescribed interpretation time, being seen by others could cause psychological stress or unnecessary trouble for the test subject. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a urine cup that can prevent peeping. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a liquid sample collection and testing device that, through its anti-peeping design, can protect the privacy of subjects during urine tests and can also be applied to the confidentiality testing of other liquid samples.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:
[0006] This application provides a liquid sample collection and detection device, including:
[0007] A sampling container with a sampling port, the container walls of which are made of opaque material or covered with opaque coverings;
[0008] A test container having a docking interface and an observation port, the docking interface being used for a detachable and sealed connection with the sampling port;
[0009] Test components are mounted on the test component mounting structure;
[0010] A test element mounting structure is disposed inside the test container, dividing the inner cavity of the test container into an observation cavity communicating with the observation port and a liquid cavity communicating with the docking port; the test element is disposed in the liquid cavity, and its result display surface faces the observation cavity; at least the portion of the test element mounting structure located between the result display surface and the observation cavity is made of transparent material;
[0011] An opaque anti-peeping structure is installed on the test container and covers the observation port. The anti-peeping structure is provided with an openable and closable structure that communicates with the observation cavity.
[0012] In an optional embodiment, the test element mounting structure includes a test element bracket and a bracket mounting structure;
[0013] The bracket mounting structure is fixed to the container wall of the test container, dividing the inner cavity of the test container into the observation cavity and the liquid cavity; the result display surface of each of the test elements faces the bracket mounting structure.
[0014] In an optional embodiment, the interface and the observation port are located on opposite end faces of the test container in the axial direction, the bracket mounting structure internally encloses the observation cavity, the liquid cavity circumferentially surrounds the observation cavity, and the test element bracket is sleeved on the outside of the bracket mounting structure.
[0015] In an optional embodiment, the cross-section of the bracket mounting structure is circular or polygonal.
[0016] In an optional embodiment, the test element support is provided with a plurality of test element slots; the plurality of test elements are inserted one-to-one into the plurality of test element slots, and the sample application area of the test element is located outside the test element slot.
[0017] In an optional embodiment, the result display surface of the test element is located inside the test element slot, and the portion of the test element support facing away from the result display surface is made of an opaque material.
[0018] In an optional embodiment, the end of the test element where the sample application area is located extends to the bottom wall of the liquid chamber of the test container.
[0019] In an optional embodiment, the anti-peeping structure is an adhesive label or a cover made of soft material, and the closable structure is at least two prefabricated slits that are intersected in the anti-peeping structure.
[0020] In an optional embodiment, the liquid sample collection and detection device further includes a sealing element, which is fixed to the sampling port or the docking port to seal the gap between the sampling port and the docking port when the sampling port and the docking port are in the docking state.
[0021] In an optional embodiment, the sampling container is cup-shaped, the test container is lid-shaped, and in the test state, the interface is sealed and connected to the sampling port, the sampling container is inverted above the test container, and the liquid sample is located in the liquid chamber of the test container;
[0022] Alternatively, both the sampling container and the test container are cup-shaped. In the test state, the interface is sealed and connected to the sampling port, the sampling container is inverted above the test container, and the liquid sample is located in the liquid chamber of the test container.
[0023] The embodiments of this application can achieve at least the following beneficial effects:
[0024] When using this method, a sampling container is used to take a sample. Before testing, the interface of the test container is sealed and connected to the sampling port of the sampling container. Then, the sampling container is inverted above the test container, and the liquid sample is placed in the liquid chamber of the test container for testing.
[0025] After the test, the camera is inserted into the observation cavity through the openable structure, penetrating the transparent part of the test element mounting structure located between the test element's result display surface and the observation cavity, to read the test results. Because the test element's result display surface faces the observation cavity, the test results can only be read from inside the observation cavity using instruments, and cannot be read directly from the outside with the naked eye (even if the sampling container is located above during the test, the test results cannot be observed from the container wall because the container wall is made of opaque material or has an opaque cover). This achieves the anti-peeping function.
[0026] Therefore, the liquid sample collection and testing device provided in this application, through its anti-peeping function design, can protect the privacy of subjects during urine tests and can also be applied to the confidentiality testing of other liquid samples.

[0049] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0050] This application provides a liquid sample collection and detection device, referring to... Figures 1 to 8 or Figures 9 to 15 The liquid sample collection and detection device includes a sampling container 1, a test container 2, a test element 3, a test element mounting structure 4, and an opaque anti-peeping structure 5.
[0051] Sampling container 1 has a sampling port 11, and its container wall is made of opaque material or covered with an opaque covering (e.g., a sampling label). Test container 2 has a mating interface 21 and an observation port 22, the mating interface 21 being used for a detachable sealed connection with the sampling port 11. Test element 3 is mounted on test element mounting structure 4. Test element mounting structure 4 is located inside test container 2 and divides the inner cavity of test container 2 into an observation chamber 220 communicating with observation port 22 and a liquid chamber 210 communicating with mating interface 21; test element 3 is located in liquid chamber 210, and its result display surface faces observation chamber 220; at least the portion of test element mounting structure 4 between the result display surface of test element 3 and observation chamber 220 is made of transparent material. Anti-peeping structure 5 is mounted on test container 2 and covers observation port 22, and anti-peeping structure 5 has an openable and closable structure 51 communicating with observation chamber 220.
[0052] In this application, test element 3 refers to the test strip, which is the core test component for liquid detection. In use, a sample is taken using sampling container 1. Before testing, the interface 21 of test container 2 is sealed and connected to the sampling port 11 of sampling container 1. Then, sampling container 1 is inverted above test container 2, and the liquid sample is tested in the liquid chamber 210 of test container 2.
[0053] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In one optional embodiment, the sampling container 1 is cup-shaped and the test container 2 is lid-shaped. When the liquid sample is urine, it can be understood that the sampling container 1 is a urine cup and the test container 2 is a cup lid. The urine cup is used for sampling, and the cup lid is attached to the urine cup and then inverted for testing.
[0054] Reference Figures 9 to 15In another optional embodiment, both the sampling container 1 and the test container 2 are cup-shaped. When the liquid sample is urine, it can be understood that the sampling container 1 is a cup-shaped lid and the test container 2 is a urine cup. The lid is used for sampling, and the urine cup is connected to the lid and then inverted for testing.
[0055] After the test, the camera is inserted into the observation cavity 220 through the openable structure 51, penetrating the transparent part on the test element mounting structure 4 located between the result display surface of the test element 3 and the observation cavity 220, to read the test result of the test element 3. Since the result display surface of the test element 3 faces the observation cavity 220, the test result can only be read from the observation cavity 220 by an instrument, and cannot be read directly from the outside by the naked eye (even if the sampling container 1 is located above in the test state, the test result cannot be observed from the container wall of the sampling container because the container wall of the sampling container 1 is made of opaque material or has an opaque cover attached), thus achieving the anti-peeping function.
[0056] Therefore, the liquid sample collection and testing device provided in this application, through its anti-peeping function design, can protect the privacy of subjects during urine tests and can also be applied to the confidentiality testing of other liquid samples.
[0057] The following describes further optional implementation methods for any of the above embodiments of this application:
[0058] In an optional embodiment of the above example, the test element mounting structure 4 includes a test element bracket 41 and a bracket mounting structure 42. The bracket mounting structure 42 is fixed to the container wall of the test container 2 and divides the inner cavity of the test container 2 into an observation chamber 220 and a liquid chamber 210. The result display surface of each test element 3 faces the bracket mounting structure 42. In this optional embodiment, the bracket mounting structure 42 can be used as a separator to fully isolate the liquid chamber 210 and the observation chamber 220, ensuring the sealing of the liquid chamber 210. Furthermore, this structure can be used to replace the bracket mounting structure 42 to change the number and type of test elements 3.
[0059] Optionally, the interface 21 and the observation port 22 are located on opposite end faces of the test container 2 along its axial direction. The support mounting structure 42 internally encloses the observation cavity 220, and the liquid cavity 210 circumferentially surrounds the observation cavity 220. The test element support 41 is sleeved on the outside of the support mounting structure 42. Optionally, the transverse cross-section of the support mounting structure 42 is circular or polygonal. One or more test elements 3 can be provided, designed according to specific testing needs. When multiple elements are provided, they can be arranged at intervals along the circumference or transverse direction of the support mounting structure 42.
[0060] In this embodiment, the portion of the test element mounting structure 4 located between the result display surface of the test element 3 and the observation cavity 220 is made of transparent material. Furthermore, the test element mounting structure 4 includes a test element support 41 and a support mounting structure 42. Optionally, the test element support 41 has multiple test element slots 411; multiple test elements 3 are inserted one-to-one into the multiple test element slots 411, and the sample application area of the test element 3 is located outside the test element slots 411. In this optional embodiment, the portion of the support mounting structure 42 located between the result display surface of the test element 3 and the observation cavity 220 is made of transparent material. The side of the test element slot 411 corresponding to the result display surface of the test element 3 facing the support mounting structure 42 can be open or have a sidewall made of transparent material to ensure that the test results are clearly read. In some optional structures, the result display surface of the test element 3 is located inside the test element slot 411, and the portion of the test element support 41 facing away from the result display surface of the test element 3 is made of opaque material.
[0061] In an optional embodiment of the above embodiments, the end of the test element 3 where the sample application area is located extends to the bottom wall of the liquid cavity 210 of the test container 2 to ensure that the lower end of the test element 3 is fully immersed in the liquid sample.
[0062] In an optional embodiment of the above-described example, the anti-peeping structure 5 is an adhesive label or a cover made of soft materials such as silicone or soft plastic, and the closable structure 51 consists of at least two pre-fabricated slits intersecting on the anti-peeping structure 5. This closable structure 51 can open when the camera is inserted and automatically close after the camera is removed, thus effectively preventing peeping.
[0063] In an optional embodiment of the above embodiments, the liquid sample collection and detection device further includes a sealing element 6, which is fixed to the sampling port 11 or the docking port 21, and is used to seal the gap between the sampling port 11 and the docking port 21 when they are in the docking state. Optionally, the sealing element 6 can be directly bonded to the corresponding container wall, or a sealing element mounting structure 61 can be provided at the sampling port 11 or the docking port 21 to limit the installation of the sealing element 6. The sealing element mounting structure 61 can be an annular limiting protrusion, which forms a limiting groove with the container wall, so that the sealing element 6 is embedded in the limiting groove. The sealing element 6 can be, but is not limited to, designed as a sealing ring.
[0064] The sampling port 11 of sampling container 1 has a connecting structure 111 on its periphery, and the interface 21 of testing container 2 has a connecting structure 211 on its periphery. The two can be connected together. Optionally, but not limited to, they can be external threads and internal threads that can be threaded together to achieve a preliminary sealing connection. When a sealing element 6 is added, the sealing performance can be further enhanced. In other optional embodiments, the connecting structure 111 and the connecting structure 211 can also be structures that can be plugged into each other. Alternatively, the connecting structure 111 and the connecting structure 211 can be omitted, and the sealing element 6 can be directly glued or embedded for sealing.
[0065] In addition, a limiting flange 7 can be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the inner side of the sampling container 1 or the test container 2 at the docking point to limit the contact of the docking end of the other container and improve the docking stability.
[0066] In addition, in an optional embodiment of this example, a maximum sampling capacity scale line 12 may be provided on the inner wall of the sampling container 1 to facilitate the user to collect a liquid sample of appropriate volume.
[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to mutually. The above embodiments in this specification are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features.
