Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of saliva encapsulation technology, and in particular to a saliva enzyme-controlled self-folding encapsulator. Background Technology

[0002] A saliva sample collector is a tool used to collect, preserve, and transport saliva samples. It is widely used in medical research, clinical diagnosis, gene testing, and other fields.

[0003] As salivary mics research deepens, the unique advantages of saliva samples are becoming increasingly apparent. The collection process requires no specialized operation and is non-invasive, minimizing discomfort for test subjects and effectively avoiding the risk of cross-transmission of viruses that may occur with blood collection. In epidemiological surveys and large-scale population screening, saliva has demonstrated enormous potential as a substitute for blood samples, and its research value has attracted significant attention. Currently, in clinical applications, saliva specimens have become a core carrier for exploring the characteristics of the oral microbiome. By analyzing the composition, abundance, and dynamic changes of oral flora, researchers can delve into its potential associations with oral health and systemic diseases. Furthermore, the detection of biomarkers such as proteins, metabolites, and nucleic acids in saliva provides important evidence for early disease diagnosis, disease monitoring, and treatment efficacy evaluation, continuously expanding the application of saliva testing in clinical testing and life science research.

[0004] Regarding the above and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: Current mainstream saliva sealers are mostly designed with a dedicated sealing tube and a matching sealing cap as the core combination. The collected saliva is directly injected into the sealing tube, and then the sealing cap is screwed on to complete the basic preservation. They generally rely on the rubber or silicone sealing ring preset on the inside of the sealing cap. The sealing ring is made to fit with the tube opening to form a seal by the squeezing action when the cap is screwed on. The way the sealing function is realized is relatively simple. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology generally relies on the rubber or silicone sealing ring preset on the inner side of the sealing cap. The sealing ring is made to fit with the tube opening to form a seal by means of the squeezing action when the cap is screwed on. The sealing function is relatively simple. Therefore, we propose a saliva enzyme-controlled self-folding sealer.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a salivary enzyme-controlled self-folding encapsulator, comprising: a storage component, an enhancement component mounted on the storage component, the storage component including an encapsulation tube body, the encapsulation tube body having creases, a boss body fixedly connected to the inner wall of the encapsulation tube body, a support membrane body fixedly connected to the inner wall of the encapsulation tube body, the enhancement component including an encapsulation cap body, the encapsulation cap body being mounted on the upper end of the encapsulation tube body, an extension post fixedly connected to the top of the encapsulation cap body, a recessed body being provided on the extension post, the boss body and the recessed body corresponding to each other.

[0007] Preferably, the creases correspond to the support film body, and the support film body is a composite film made of starch and chitosan;

[0008] When the collected saliva is added to the encapsulation tube, the amylase in the saliva interacts specifically with the starch-chitosan composite membrane, causing the composite membrane to gradually degrade and thin. Driven by the stress difference generated by the degradation of the membrane, the encapsulation tube folds along the creases, thus enabling the subsequent sealing function.

[0009] Preferably, the encapsulation tube body has a thread A, and the inner surface of the encapsulation cover body has a thread B, with thread A corresponding to thread B;

[0010] Used to easily connect the encapsulation tube body and the encapsulation cap body together, so that the two can form a complete encapsulator.

[0011] Preferably, the boss body is configured as an annular protrusion, and the concave body is configured as an annular groove, with the diameter of the boss body being slightly larger than the inner diameter of the concave body.

[0012] It is used to make the boss body and the concave body cooperate with each other, so that the boss body deforms and increases the sealing performance of the entire device.

[0013] Preferably, multiple sets of protrusions are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the encapsulation cover body, and an anti-slip groove is formed between two sets of protrusions;

[0014] This is used to increase the contact area between the encapsulation cap body and the operator's fingers, making it easier to twist the encapsulation cap body.

[0015] Preferably, a sealing ring is installed on the encapsulation cover body, and the sealing ring corresponds to the encapsulation tube body;

[0016] This is used to further enhance the sealing performance between the encapsulation cap body and the encapsulation tube body.

[0017] Preferably, a guide post is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the extension post. The guide post is shaped like a frustum, and the diameter of the end of the guide post that contacts the extension post is the largest and then decreases downwards.

[0018] It is used to perform simple guiding operations on the boss body, while making it easier for the boss body to move to the concave body.

[0019] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] In this invention, after collecting saliva, it is added to the encapsulation tube body, and then the encapsulation cap body is rotated and installed onto the encapsulation tube body to form a complete encapsulator. The saliva added to the encapsulation tube body will continuously degrade the support membrane body. Through the stress difference during the degradation of the support membrane body, the encapsulation tube body is folded along the crease. During the folding process, the protrusion body moves towards the encapsulation cap body, and finally the protrusion body inserts into the concave body and undergoes slight deformation, thereby increasing the sealing performance of the entire device.

[0028] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a salivary enzyme-controlled self-folding encapsulator, comprising: a storage component 1, an enhancement component 2 mounted on the storage component 1, the storage component 1 including an encapsulation tube body 11, the encapsulation tube body 11 having creases 12, a boss body 14 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the encapsulation tube body 11, a support membrane body 15 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the encapsulation tube body 11, the enhancement component 2 including an encapsulation cap body 21, the encapsulation cap body 21 being mounted on the upper end of the encapsulation tube body 11, an extension post 25 fixedly connected to the inner top of the encapsulation cap body 21, a recessed body 26 being provided on the extension post 25, the boss body 14 corresponding to the recessed body 26.

[0030] The collected saliva is added to the encapsulation tube body 11, and then the encapsulation cap body 21 is placed on top and tightened. At this time, the protrusion body 14 is still above the concave body 26. Then, the saliva will gradually degrade the support membrane body 15, which is mainly a composite membrane made of starch and chitosan. The principle of this process is that the amylase in the saliva has a specific effect on the composite membrane made of starch and chitosan, causing the support membrane body 15 to gradually degrade and become thinner. At this time, the encapsulation tube body 11 is driven by the stress difference generated by the degradation of the support membrane body 15, and autonomously completes the folding action along the crease 12. During the folding process, the protrusion body 14 moves towards the concave body 26. Finally, the protrusion body 14 and the concave body 26 are fitted together, and the protrusion body 14 will also undergo slight deformation. Through the slightly deformed protrusion body 14, the gap between the inner wall of the encapsulation tube body 11 and the extension column 25 is filled, thereby increasing the sealing performance of the entire device.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a salivary enzyme-controlled self-folding encapsulator, where the crease 12 corresponds to the support membrane body 15, the support membrane body 15 is a composite membrane made of starch and chitosan, the encapsulation tube body 11 is provided with a thread A13, the inner surface of the encapsulation cap body 21 is provided with a thread B23, the thread A13 corresponds to the thread B23, the boss body 14 is set as an annular protrusion, the concave body 26 is set as an annular groove, and the diameter of the boss body 14 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the concave body 26.

[0032] When no saliva is added to the encapsulation tube body 11, the support membrane body 15 will not degrade. At this time, the support membrane body 15 acts as a support structure, supporting the encapsulation tube body 11 and preventing it from folding along the crease 12. At this time, the encapsulation tube body 11 is in a fully open state. When the support membrane body 15 is degraded by saliva, the stress generated during the degradation will cause the encapsulation tube body 11 to fold along the crease 12. During the folding process, the encapsulation tube body 11 drives the boss body 14 to move towards the concave body 26. Because the diameter of the boss body 14 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the concave body 26, the boss body 14 will undergo slight deformation during the movement, thereby further increasing the sealing effect of the entire device.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a saliva enzyme-controlled self-folding encapsulator, wherein multiple sets of protrusions 22 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the encapsulation cap body 21, and an anti-slip groove is formed between two sets of protrusions 22. A sealing ring 24 is installed on the encapsulation cap body 21, and the sealing ring 24 corresponds to the encapsulation tube body 11. A guide post 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the extension post 25. The guide post 27 is set in the shape of a frustum, and the diameter of the contact end between the guide post 27 and the extension post 25 is the largest and then decreases downward.

[0034] Because multiple sets of protrusions 22 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the encapsulation cover body 21, anti-slip grooves are formed between these protrusions 22, thereby increasing the friction between the encapsulation cover body 21 and the fingers, making it easier for operators to operate the encapsulation cover body 21. Then, a sealing ring 24 is installed on the encapsulation cover body 21, so that when the encapsulation cover body 21 is installed on the encapsulation tube body 11, the two can squeeze the sealing ring 24, thereby further increasing the sealing effect of the entire device. In addition, a frustum-shaped guide post 27 is also installed on the extension post 25, making it easier for the protrusion body 14 to move to the concave body 26.

[0035] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
