Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dog saliva collectors, specifically a dog saliva collector. Background Technology

[0002] Saliva contains detached cells from the oral mucosa. Collecting saliva for molecular biological analysis is a non-invasive, simple, and easy sampling method, and is therefore widely used. Existing collection methods include swab collection and scraping collection.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number 202120386576.1 provides a canine saliva collector. By pushing a moving mechanism, a clamping mechanism can be moved along the axial direction of the sealing cylinder. The movement of the clamping mechanism moves the cotton swab, allowing the swab to be exposed for saliva collection. After collection, the entire cotton swab can be directly moved into the sealing cylinder, effectively sealing and protecting the swab. The head of the cotton swab is located in the storage cylinder. After being sealed by the sealing cap, the head of the cotton swab is completely sealed between the storage cylinder and the sealing cap, avoiding contamination of the sealing cylinder and preventing saliva from being contaminated by the outside world, greatly improving the quality of subsequent testing.

[0004] However, during the use of the above-mentioned equipment, it was found that saliva and other substances easily adhered to the sealed box of the collector. In order to avoid cross-contamination of samples, the sealed box is usually a disposable item. The movement of the device is achieved by the cooperation of the first magnet and the second magnet. For disposable items, this makes the cost of a single product relatively high. When used on a large scale, the cost issue will become more prominent. Utility Model Content

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Example 1: Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a dog saliva collector, including a sealed box 1 and a cotton swab 4. A sealing plug 2 is connected to the outer front end of the sealed box 1. A movable cavity 13 is provided inside the sealed box 1. Slides 14 are provided on both sides of the rear end of the movable cavity 13. A movable component 3 is provided in the rear end of the movable cavity 13. The movable component 3 includes a threaded rod 32. A movable frame 33 is screwed onto the threaded rod 32. Protrusions 34 are provided on both sides of the movable frame 33. The protrusions 34 are adapted to the slides 14. One side of the movable frame 33 is connected to the mounting plate 36 through a connecting rod 35. A slot 37 is provided in the mounting plate 36. The swab stick of the cotton swab 4 is inserted into the slot 37. The threaded rod 32 is fixedly installed on the rotating handle 31. The rotating handle 31 is rotatably connected to the sealed box 1. A rubber sleeve 38 is provided on the inner wall of the slot 37; The front end of the sealed box 1 is provided with a storage cavity 11, and the storage cavity 11 is connected to the moving cavity 13 through a connecting groove 12; The diameter of the swab rod in cotton swab 4 is compatible with the through groove 12 and the rubber sleeve 38; The travel of the movable frame 33 in the slide 14 is greater than the length of the storage cavity 11.

[0017] Specifically, the sealing box 1 is composed of an upper shell and a lower shell. Under normal conditions, the swab stick of the cotton swab 4 is inserted into the slot 37 of the mounting plate 36, and the rubber sleeve 38 on the inner wall of the slot 37 can better fix the cotton swab 4. When saliva needs to be collected, the handle 31 is rotated, which drives the threaded rod 32 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 32 is screwed to the moving frame 33, and the protrusions 34 on both sides of the moving frame 33 are adapted to the slides 14 on both sides of the rear end of the moving cavity 13, the rotation of the threaded rod 32 will cause the moving frame 33 to move forward along the slides 14. The moving frame 33 drives the mounting plate 36 and the cotton swab 4 forward via the connecting rod 35, so that the cotton swab 4 extends out of the sealed box 1. At this time, the user can take out the cotton swab 4 to collect the dog's saliva. After collection, the swab stick is reinserted into the slot 37, and the handle 31 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the moving frame 33 drives the cotton swab 4 to move backward. When the cotton swab 4 can be fully inserted into the storage cavity 11 in the sealed box 1, the sealing plug 2 is finally closed to complete the saliva collection. The rubber sleeve 38 has a certain elasticity and friction. When the swab 4 is inserted into the slot 37, the rubber sleeve 38 can tightly wrap the swab 4 and fix the swab 4 firmly in the slot 37 of the mounting plate 36, preventing the swab 4 from shaking or falling off during the movement of the sealing box 1 after the saliva collection process. The travel distance of the movable frame 33 in the slide 14 is greater than the length of the storage cavity 11. This allows the larger travel distance when the swab 4 is placed into the sealing box 1, enabling the movable frame 33 to smoothly guide the swab 4 on the mounting plate 36 into the storage cavity 11. Even if the storage cavity 11 is located relatively deep, it ensures that the swab 4 accurately reaches the designated position and is not unable to be fully inserted into the storage cavity 11 due to insufficient travel distance. Furthermore, when it is necessary to remove the swab 4, the larger travel distance of the movable frame 33 ensures that it can completely remove the swab 4 from the storage cavity 11, making it convenient for the operator to grasp the swab stalk and remove it. This prevents the swab 4 from remaining partially in the storage cavity 11, which could make it difficult to remove or potentially contaminate the sample. The device uses a simple mechanical structure such as a threaded rod 32 and a moving frame 33 to move the cotton swab 4. All of these components are made of plastic, eliminating the need for relatively expensive materials such as magnets, thus reducing material costs. At the same time, it is easy to process and assemble, which helps to improve production efficiency and reduce the difficulty of the production process.

[0018] Working principle: Under normal conditions, the swab 4 is inserted into the slot 37 of the installation plate 36, and the rubber sleeve 38 on the inner wall of the slot 37 securely fixes the cotton swab 4. When saliva needs to be collected, turn the handle 31. The handle 31 drives the threaded rod 32 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 32 is spirally connected to the moving frame 33, and the protrusions 34 on both sides of the moving frame 33 are adapted to the slides 14 on both sides of the rear end of the moving cavity 13, the moving frame 33 will move forward along the slides 14. The connecting rod 35 drives the mounting plate 36 and the cotton swab 4 to move forward, so that the cotton swab 4 extends out of the sealed box 1. The user takes out the cotton swab 4 to collect the dog's saliva. After collection, insert the swab back into the slot 37, rotate the handle 31 in the opposite direction, and the moving frame 33 will move the swab 4 backward. Since the stroke of the moving frame 33 in the slide 14 is greater than the length of the storage cavity 11, it can be ensured that the swab 4 can be completely inserted into the storage cavity 11 in the sealed box 1. Finally, cover the sealing plug 2 to complete the saliva collection.
