The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-7This application provides a technical solution: a stool sample collection device with a detachable sampling spoon, including a sampling box 110, a box cover 120, a second threaded post 180, a sampling spoon 190, a third threaded post 191, an extension mechanism 150, and a stool detachment mechanism 193. The box cover 120 is snapped onto the sampling box 110 and also includes a protrusion 130, which is fixed to the outer wall of the box cover 120. The protrusion 130 facilitates the removal of the box cover 120. A slot 160 is provided on the box cover 120, and the upper end of the sampling box 110 is inserted into the slot. Within 160, the upper end of the second threaded post 180 is fixed to the box cover 120, and the lower end of the third threaded post 191 is fixed to the upper surface of the sampling spoon 190. The third threaded post 191 has a third threaded groove 192, which is threaded onto the second threaded post 180. The sampling box 110 has a hidden groove 140, and the box cover 120 has a second threaded groove 170. The upper end of the second threaded post 180 is fixed inside the second threaded groove 170, and the third threaded post 191 is threaded into the second threaded groove 170.

[0030] The extension mechanism 150 is installed in the hidden groove 140. The extension mechanism 150 is used to extend the handle of the sampling spoon 190. The extension mechanism 150 includes an extension rod 151, a first threaded post 153 and a fragile rod 154. One end of the first threaded post 153 is fixed to the outer wall of the extension rod 151, and the fragile rod 154 is fixed to the other end of the first threaded post 153 and in the hidden groove 140. In this embodiment, the extension rod 151, the first threaded post 153 and the fragile rod 154 are all disposable products. The extension rod 151 has a first threaded groove 152. The first threaded post 153 is adapted to the first threaded groove 152 and the third threaded groove 192. The second threaded post 180 is adapted to the third threaded groove 192.

[0031] The feces removal mechanism 193 is installed on the sampling spoon 190. The feces removal mechanism 193 is designed to push the feces on the sampling spoon 190 into the sampling box 110. The feces removal mechanism 193 includes a shovel block 1931, a crossbar 1933, and an elastic rope 1934. The shovel block 1931 is slidably sleeved on the sampling spoon 190. The elastic rope 1934 is fixed between the shovel block 1931 and the sampling spoon 190. One end of the crossbar 1933 is fixed to the outer wall of the shovel block 1931. The shovel block 1931 has a groove 1932. The sampling spoon 190 is slidably inserted into the groove 1932. The crossbar 1933 keeps the hand away from the sampling spoon 190, effectively preventing the hand from contacting the feces. Several elastic ropes 1934 are provided and are linearly and equidistantly arranged on the shovel block 1931.

[0032] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows: When it is necessary to collect feces, the cover 120 is removed from the sampling box 110 using the protrusion 130. Then, the sampling spoon 190 is rotated to remove it. Next, the extension rod 151 is bent to break the fragile rod 154. Then, the extension rod 151 is assembled onto the third threaded post 191 using the first threaded post 153 and the third threaded groove 192. The extension rod 151 is then assembled together using the first threaded post 153 and the first threaded groove 152, thus extending the handle of the sampling spoon 190. Sampling can then be performed, effectively preventing hand contact with the feces. After sampling, the sampling spoon is removed. The sampler moves 190 to the top of the lid 120, pulls down the crossbar 1933, causing the shovel 1931 to move down and push the feces into the sampling box 110. Then, the crossbar 1933 is released, and under the reaction force of the elastic rope 1934, the shovel 1931 moves up back to the initial position. Since it is a one-time sampling, the sampling spoon 190 and the extension rod 151 can be discarded afterwards. The feces collection device with a detachable sampling spoon uses the feces detachment mechanism 193 to ensure that the feces can be detached from the sampling spoon 190 more smoothly. The extension mechanism 150 is used to lengthen the handle of the sampling spoon 190, effectively preventing feces from getting on the hands and providing a better user experience.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of this utility model should still fall within the scope of this patent.
