Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical sampling device technology, and in particular to a device for sending and sampling secretions from critically ill patients. Background Technology
[0002] In the medical testing process, the collection, preservation, and delivery of samples are crucial, especially for critically ill patients. The conditions of critically ill patients are often urgent and complex, and accurate test results play a decisive role in formulating treatment plans. However, existing secretion sample collection and delivery devices have revealed numerous problems when applied to critically ill patients.
[0003] Currently, most common disposable sampling devices consist of a basic tube, a swab, and a sealing cap. Their structure is relatively simple and cannot meet the high standards required for critically ill patients' samples in terms of pre-filling of preservation solution, swab insertion stability, and liquid sealing.
[0004] From a sample preservation perspective, the sealing performance of ordinary devices is insufficient to meet the stringent requirements for transporting samples from critically ill patients. Secretions from critically ill patients may contain highly active pathogens or specific biomarkers. If a sample leaks during transport due to improper sealing, it will not only render the sample ineffective and unable to provide a valid basis for diagnosis, but may also lead to the spread of pathogens, posing a serious risk of cross-infection and threatening the hospital environment and the safety of other patients.
[0005] Solving the aforementioned technical problems is the challenge facing this utility model. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a reasonably designed, safe, and reliable device for collecting and testing secretions from critically ill patients. It features good sealing, convenient operation, and strong applicability, making it particularly suitable for medical scenarios with high requirements for secretion testing.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a device for sampling and testing secretions from critically ill patients.
[0008] It includes a storage base, on which a storage cylinder is provided that cooperates with the storage base, and on which an injection component is provided for injecting storage liquid into the storage cylinder in the past;
[0009] A placement ring plate is provided in the top section of the storage tube, and a placement base is provided on the placement ring plate to cooperate with the placement ring plate and to place a disposable sampling swab;
[0010] The storage cylinder is provided with a sealing and fixing member that cooperates with the placement base, and the sealing and fixing member is provided with a locking component for tightly fixing the sealing and fixing member in the storage cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, the storage base includes a storage round seat, which is provided with a threaded groove that mates with the storage cylinder, and the bottom end of the storage cylinder is provided with a connecting thread that mates with the threaded groove.
[0012] Preferably, the storage base may also be provided with a connecting screw that cooperates with the storage cylinder.
[0013] Furthermore, the injection assembly includes an injection cap that mates with the storage cylinder, and the storage cylinder has a placement groove that mates with the injection cap. The storage cylinder also has an injection groove that mates with the placement groove, and the storage cylinder has a protective cap for sealing the injection groove.
[0014] Furthermore, the placement ring plate includes a docking ring plate disposed in the storage cylinder, and the docking ring plate is provided with a docking member that mates with the placement base.
[0015] Furthermore, the placement base includes a placement ring seat, which has a placement slot for placing a disposable sampling swab, a placement insert that mates with the placement slot, an alignment member that mates with the placement ring plate, and an embedded rod that mates with the sealing and fixing member at the top of the placement ring seat.
[0016] Furthermore, the sealing fastener includes a sealing round seat that cooperates with the locking assembly, a sealing block is provided on the sealing round seat, the sealing block has an embedded adhesive groove that cooperates with the placement base, and a sealing ring gasket that cooperates with the storage cylinder is provided on the sealing round seat.
[0017] Two preferred structural designs for the locking components are provided, as follows:
[0018] Firstly, the locking assembly includes a locking sleeve, on which a locking circular plate connected to the sealing fastener is provided.
[0019] Secondly, the locking assembly includes two sets of locking arc plates symmetrically arranged and connected to the sealing fastener. The locking arc plates are provided with locking threads, and the storage cylinder is provided with fastening threads that cooperate with the locking arc plates. The storage cylinder is provided with a locking screw cylinder that cooperates with the fastening threads and the locking threads.
[0020] This invention, by setting a storage cylinder and an injection assembly on a storage base, enables convenient injection of the storage solution into the storage cylinder, ensuring that the storage solution is pre-loaded before sampling, effectively improving operational efficiency and storage reliability. The injection assembly, through the coordinated structure of the injection cap, placement groove, injection groove, and optional protective cap, possesses excellent sealing and anti-contamination performance, effectively preventing leakage or contamination of the storage solution during transportation or storage.
[0021] The combination structure of the placement ring plate and the placement base in this invention facilitates the standardized fixation and classified placement of disposable sampling swabs. The placement base is further composed of a placement ring seat, a placement slot, a placement insert, and an alignment member, enabling the swab to be accurately inserted and positioned, avoiding the floating or tipping of swabs in traditional preservation devices, and improving the stability and professionalism of sampling preservation.
[0022] This invention utilizes a sealing and fixing component installed inside the storage cylinder, along with a locking assembly, to firmly press the entire placement structure into a preset position, achieving a multi-level sealing structure. The sealing and fixing component's multiple sealing designs—including the sealing round seat, sealing block, embedded adhesive groove, and sealing ring gasket—comprehensively enhance the system's leak-proof capability and the safety of biological samples.
[0023] This utility model preferably provides two locking component structural designs, which can not only meet different usage needs, but also improve the structural stability and ease of disassembly and assembly of the preservation device. At the same time, the embedded rod + embedded slot structure connects the placement base and the sealing fixing component, effectively forming a closed space to prevent external air or foreign objects from contacting the sample and enhance the sterility of preservation. The sealing gasket set on the placement ring seat also further optimizes the airtight design inside the preservation cylinder. Attached Figure Description
