Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal equipment technology, and in particular to a sampling device. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, more and more families are choosing to keep animals as a source of emotional support. Animals play an increasingly important role in people's lives, providing companionship and stress relief. However, animals also face various health problems, making maintaining their health a key concern for every pet owner. Regularly monitoring an animal's health indicators is one of the most important ways to ensure their well-being.

[0003] In the field of animal testing, biochemical testing is one of the most commonly used methods, primarily using urine analysis to assess an animal's health. However, collecting animal urine samples is more challenging than collecting human urine. Firstly, the timing and location of urination are unpredictable; animals may urinate anywhere in their home. Secondly, while urination is frequent, it doesn't always occur in suitable locations for sample collection. These characteristics make conventional devices used for human urine testing unsuitable for animal testing, thus limiting the possibility of early detection and treatment of animal diseases.

[0004] Therefore, in order to better meet the needs of animal testing, it is particularly necessary to design a testing device that can easily collect animal urine samples. This device should be adaptable to the animal's living habits and excretory characteristics, enabling timely sample collection during urination, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of testing.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 The sampling device provided by this utility model includes: a sampling wheel 1, and a sample collection test strip 3 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the sampling wheel 1.

[0042] The number of sample collection test strips 3 with the sampling wheel 1 facing upward can be multiple. Multiple sample collection test strips 3 are set at intervals with their circumferences facing upward, so that multiple samples can be collected using one sampling wheel 1, and there is no interference between the samples.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a mounting groove 113 can be provided on the circumferential side wall of the sampling wheel 1, and the mounting groove 113 can accommodate the sample collection test strip 3. The sample collection test strip 3 can be attached to the mounting groove 113 by snap-fit ​​or adhesive.

[0044] The sampling wheel 1 can be a one-piece molded structure, and the sampling wheel 1 is disc-shaped. However, in this embodiment, the sampling wheel 1 is a split structure, including a base plate 11, which is a hollow cylinder. The mounting groove 113 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the base plate 11. In the circumferential direction, an assembly groove 112 is provided on one or both sides of the base plate 11. The assembly groove 112 is coaxially arranged with the base plate 11, and a side plate 12 is provided in the assembly groove 112, with each side plate 12 corresponding to the assembly groove 112. A shaft hole 111 is provided in the center of the base plate 11. When only one side plate 12 is provided, a rotating protrusion 121 can be provided on the side of the side plate 12. The rotating protrusion 121 can be inserted into the shaft hole 111 and fixedly connected by interference fit. At this time, the side plate 12 is inserted into the assembly groove 112. In this embodiment, the side of the side plate 12 facing outward is flush with the side of the base plate 11, making the side of the sampling wheel 1 neater and smoother.

[0045] Of course, in other possible solutions, the shaft hole 111 can also be set on the side plate 12, and the rotating protrusion 121 can be set on the base plate 11, which can also achieve an interference fit between the two.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two side plates 12. Side plates 12 are provided on both sides of the bottom plate 11. A connection structure is provided on the surfaces of the two side plates 12 facing each other. The connection structure can be a plug hole 41 and a plug post 42, so that after the two side plates 12 are connected, the two side plates 12 clamp the bottom plate 11 located in the middle between them. The two side plates 12 clamp and fix the bottom plate 11, realizing the fixed connection of the three.

[0047] The sampling device includes a protective housing 2, which has an openable and closable cavity for accommodating the sampling wheel 1. Before use, the sampling wheel 1 can be stored in the cavity to prevent contamination. When the sampling wheel 1 needs to be used, the protective housing 2 can be opened and the wheel can be taken out directly. After sampling, the sampling wheel 1 can be put back into the protective housing 2.

[0048] The material of the protective shell 2 can be set to transparent, making it convenient to observe the test results after sampling.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, the protective shell 2 may include a first half shell 21 and a second half shell 22 that are rotatably connected. The first half shell 21 has a first half groove, and the second half shell 22 has a second half groove. In the closed state, the openings of the first half groove and the second half groove are opposite to each other, and the locking structure on the first half shell 21 and the second half shell 22 is locked. The locking structure may be a card hole 23 and a buckle 24. The user can unlock the shell by moving the buckle 24.

[0050] To use, open the protective casing 2, remove the sampling wheel 1, pinch the side plate 12 with two fingers, align the sample collection strip 3 with the animal urine on the ground, and roll the sampling wheel 1 forward. The sampling wheel 1 will begin to rotate, and during this rotation, the various sample collection strips 3 will come into contact with the urine, completing the sampling. Place the sampling wheel 1 back into the protective casing 2 and read the test results after the specified time. After a period of time, the sample collection strip 3 will begin to develop color. Compare the color of the sample collection strip 3 with the colorimetric card to obtain the test results.

[0051] Sample collection test strip 3 is used for biochemical detection of animal urine, including leukocytes, nitrite, urobilinogen, protein, pH, blood, specific gravity, ketones, bilirubin, glucose, and other items.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in Embodiment 1, the sampling wheel 1 and the protective shell 2 are separate units. However, unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the sampling wheel 1 and the first half-shell 21 are connected by a rotating shaft structure, which is coaxial with the sampling wheel 1.

[0054] The first half-shell 21 has a retaining structure 211 at its axial position, which is used to cooperate with the rotating shaft structure 13 on the sampling wheel 1, so that the sampling wheel 1 is fixed on the protective shell 2 and can rotate freely along the rotating shaft structure 13.

[0055] When in use, hold the first half shell 21, open the second half shell 22, and expose half of the sampling wheel 1. Align the sample collection test strip 3 with the animal urine on the ground and move the device forward. At this time, the sampling wheel 1 will start to rotate. During the rotation, various sample collection test strips 3 will come into contact with the urine and complete the sampling. Close the protective shell 2 and read the test results at the specified time.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model 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 therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
