[0023] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0024] This utility model discloses a specific implementation of a portable HPV self-testing sampling kit. Please see [link to implementation details]. Figure 1As shown, this portable HPV self-testing sampling kit is mainly used to enable users to collect HPV samples themselves and safely mail them to testing institutions. Its overall structure is designed around portability, sealing, and ease of operation. The sampling kit includes a base box 11 and a lid 12, which are hinged together by a hinge assembly 14. Specifically, a hinge shaft extends from the side of the base box 11 facing the lid 12. A groove is provided on both sides of this hinge shaft. Correspondingly, a slot adapted to the hinge shaft is provided on the side of the lid 12 facing the base box 11. A protrusion extends inward from each of the two inner sidewalls of the slot. When the hinge shaft is placed into the slot, the protrusions on both sides fit precisely into the groove of the hinge shaft, ensuring the flexibility of rotation of the base box 11 and the lid 12 while preventing them from separating during opening and closing, providing a stable structural foundation for subsequent carrying and operation. In other embodiments, the hinge assembly can be a hinge or a hinge chain.

[0025] As an improvement, a sponge block 13 adapted to the inner cavity of the bottom box 11 is embedded inside the bottom box 11. The sponge block 13 not only acts as a cushion during carrying and mailing to prevent damage to internal components due to collisions, but also helps to maintain a stable temperature inside the box, providing a suitable preservation environment for the sample after sampling. A latching protrusion 121 extends from the side of the box lid 12 toward the bottom box 11. A first magnetic suction member 122 is fixedly installed at the end of the latching protrusion 121, and a magnetic suction groove 111 corresponding to the position of the latching protrusion 121 is opened on the bottom box 11. A second magnetic suction member 112 magnetically attracted to the first magnetic suction member 122 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the magnetic suction groove 111. When the box lid 12 is closed on the bottom box 11, the latching protrusion 121 is inserted into the magnetic suction groove 111, and the first magnetic suction member 122 and the second magnetic suction member 112 attract each other, realizing the initial sealing and fixation of the box body, and preventing the box lid 12 from being accidentally opened during carrying.

[0026] In this embodiment, the top surface of the sponge block 13 is divided into three receiving slots according to functional zones. The first receiving slot 21 is located on the left side, and a medical sealing bag 3 is placed inside the first receiving slot 21. The medical sealing bag 3 contains a sampling swab for sampling, and the medical sealing bag 3 ensures that the sampling swab is sterile before use. The two receiving slots on the right side of the top surface of the sponge block 13 are arranged longitudinally at intervals, namely the second receiving slot 22 and the third receiving slot 23. The second receiving slot 22 contains a bagged medical glove (not shown) placed in a rolled-up form, and the third receiving slot 23 contains a sampling bottle 4. This partitioned storage method allows the components to be arranged in an orderly manner, and the user can quickly find the required items when using the device, greatly improving the convenience of operation.

[0027] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3The sampling bottle 4 consists of two parts: a bottle body 41 and a cap 42. The cap 42 is used to seal the bottle body 41 to preserve the sample after sampling. A mounting hole 45 is provided at the center of the inner top surface of the cap 42, which is adapted to the rod 31 of the sampling swab. The sampling swab includes a rod 31 and a head 32, with the head 32 fixedly connected to one end of the rod 31. The head 32 is made of medical absorbent cotton to ensure the safety of the sampling process. The rod 31 of the sampling swab and the mounting hole 45 of the cap 42 adopt an interference fit structure. When assembling the sampling device, the rod 31 of the sampling swab is inserted into the mounting hole 45. The interference fit ensures a stable connection between the two, preventing the sampling swab from falling off during sampling. Even users without professional operating experience can easily complete the assembly, reducing the difficulty of self-inspection.

[0028] To further improve the sealing performance of the sampling bottle 4 and prevent leakage or contamination of the sample during storage and mailing, the bottle cap 42 extends a retaining part 43 on the side facing the bottle body 41, which can be inserted into the bottle body 41. At least three sealing flanges 44 protrude outward from the outer peripheral side of the retaining part 43. The sealing flanges 44 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the retaining part 43, and a sealing ring (not shown) is fitted between two adjacent sealing flanges 44. The sealing ring fits tightly between the outer peripheral side of the retaining part 43 and the inner wall of the bottle body 41. The cooperation of the multiple sealing flanges 44 and the sealing ring can form a multi-seal structure, effectively blocking external air and pollutants from entering the bottle, while preventing the sample inside the bottle from leaking, and ensuring the integrity of the sample and the accuracy of the test.

[0029] Both the bottom box 11 and the lid 12 are rectangular in shape. The rectangular structure not only makes it easier to place the box with other items when storing it, reducing the space occupied, but also makes the design of the receiving slot of the sponge block 13 more regular, further optimizing the utilization of internal space. This allows the entire sampling box to maintain a compact size while storing all necessary components, making it convenient for users to carry when going out or to be mailed by express delivery. A sealing sticker 5 is affixed to the inner top surface of the lid 12. A removable sealing strip 51 is affixed to the sealing sticker 5. One side of the sealing strip 51 is a writable paper surface, and the other side is coated with adhesive. After the user completes the sampling and puts the sampling bottle 4 back into the third receiving slot 23, the sealing strip 51 can be peeled off from the sealing sticker 5. First, the lid 12 is closed onto the bottom box 11 through the magnetic structure. Then, one end of the sealing strip 51 is attached to the outer wall of the lid 12, and the other end is attached to the outer wall of the bottom box 11 to form a secondary reinforced seal. At the same time, the sampling time, user information, and other information can be marked on the writable paper surface to facilitate the subsequent traceability management of the testing agency.

[0030] Furthermore, the body 41 of the sampling bottle 4 is made of transparent medical-grade PET material. This material not only has excellent impact resistance, resisting minor collisions during mailing and preventing breakage of the bottle body 41, but also allows users to visually observe the sample condition after sampling, ensuring the effectiveness of the sampling operation. The writable paper surface of the sealing strip 51 is made of waterproof material, so even if it encounters a humid environment during mailing, the marked information is not easily blurred or detached, further improving the reliability of information recording. Through the coordinated operation of its various structures, the entire sampling box not only solves the problems of messy storage and poor portability of previous HPV self-testing devices, but also ensures the safety of the sample through multiple sealing and cushioning designs, meeting users' needs for safe mailing after home self-testing, and greatly improving the convenience and practicality of HPV self-testing.

[0031] The user experience and structural design of this portable HPV self-testing sampling kit are closely integrated to ensure convenient self-testing for users. In use, the user first opens the lid 12 via the hinge assembly 14. Due to the engagement of the hinge shaft and the protrusions and grooves of the slot, the lid 12 can rotate stably to a suitable angle for easy access to the internal items. The medical sealing bag 3 is removed from the first receiving slot 21 of the sponge block 13, the bagged medical gloves from the second receiving slot 22, and the sampling bottle 4 from the third receiving slot 23. The compartmentalized storage design clearly identifies the location of each item, avoiding time-consuming searching.

[0032] Open the packaged medical gloves and put them on, maintaining hygiene during the process. Then, remove the sampling bottle 4 and unscrew the cap 42 from the bottle body 41. At this point, the retaining part 43 of the cap 42 separates from the bottle body 41, and the multiple sealing flange 44 temporarily disengages from the sealing ring. Place the cap 42 face down on the table, open the medical sealing bag 3, and remove the sampling swab. Align the swab's stem 31 with the mounting hole 45 on the inner top surface of the cap 42, and insert it forcefully using the interference fit structure, fixing the swab head 32 upwards. Assemble a stable sampling device; even first-time users can complete the assembly with the structural guidance.

[0033] The assembled bottle cap 42 is used for sampling. After sampling, the sampling swab tip 32 is inserted into the bottle body 41, and then the bottle cap 42 is put back on the bottle body 41. The retaining part 43 is reinserted into the bottle body 41. The multi-ring sealing flange 44 fits tightly against the inner wall of the bottle body 41, forming a multiple seal to prevent sample leakage or contamination. The sealed sampling bottle 4 is placed back into the original medical sealing bag 3 and sealed. Then it is placed into the third receiving slot 23. The cushioning effect of the sponge block 13 can prevent the sampling bottle 4 from shaking and being damaged during subsequent operations.

[0034] After completing the above steps, peel off the sealing strip 51 from the sealing sticker 5 on the inner top surface of the box lid 12. Use the magnetic structure to close the box lid 12 onto the bottom box 11. Insert the latch 121 into the magnetic groove 111, and the first magnetic component 122 and the second magnetic component 112 will attract and fix the sample, achieving a preliminary seal. Finally, attach the adhesive side of the sealing strip 51, fixing one end to the outside of the box lid 12 and the other end to the outside of the bottom box 11, forming a secondary reinforcement. Simultaneously, mark the sampling time and other information on the writable paper. The rectangular box structure facilitates placement in express packaging, and the compact design reduces the space occupied during mailing. The insulation and cushioning effect of the sponge block 13 ensures the stability of the sample during transportation, ultimately achieving a safe and convenient self-inspection sampling and mailing process.
