Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample collection technology, specifically a sample collector for medical testing. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional sample collectors have simple protective structures, often using ordinary thin films to cover the collection port. This makes them prone to contamination of samples by external microorganisms due to inadequate sealing. Cutting the sealing components requires manual tearing or external blades, which is cumbersome and carries risks of sample spillage and personnel injuries. Sample collection mechanisms are not effective at retaining trace amounts of samples, often resulting in insufficient sample volume that affects test results. Furthermore, the lack of stable buffering and fixing structures during sample transport makes it easy for samples to spill due to shaking or collisions. These shortcomings significantly impact testing efficiency and accuracy, especially in scenarios with extremely high requirements for sample integrity, such as infectious disease screening.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN223158392U discloses a sample collector for medical testing, relating to the field of medical testing technology. It includes a lower tube, an upper tube inserted into the lower tube, and a sampling component disposed within the upper tube. The lower tube is a hollow tube with an opening at the top, and the upper tube is a hollow tube extending vertically. One end of the upper tube inserted into the lower tube has a conical puncture end. A sealing film is positioned at the midpoint of the conical puncture end on the lower tube in its initial state. A sample processing solution is sealed between the sealing film and the end of the lower tube. This invention, through the design of the sealing film and the conical puncture end, ensures that the sample processing solution is completely sealed before collection. The puncture operation is achieved through the linear movement of the upper tube, requiring no additional tools and making operation convenient. A first limiting ring and a second limiting ring, along with a detachable support component, maintain a fixed distance between the upper and lower tubes in the initial state, ensuring structural stability during sampling.

[0004] However, this utility model has the following problems in actual use:

[0005] The lack of an independent protective mechanism for the sampling port makes it susceptible to contamination by external dust and microorganisms. The cone-shaped puncture end lacks a backflow prevention design after puncturing the sealing film, which may lead to the leakage of sample processing liquid. The sampling component does not have a retention structure suitable for micro-samples, which may result in insufficient sample volume. Furthermore, the fit between the lower and upper tubes lacks a buffer and fixation design, which may cause internal liquid to leak due to shaking during transportation. In addition, the lack of a dedicated storage mechanism makes it easy for multiple samples to be damaged by collision when transported simultaneously. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model embodiment provides a sample collector applicable to scenarios requiring standardized collection and temporary storage of biological samples, such as clinical testing, laboratory sample pretreatment, and outdoor sampling. This embodiment improves the structure of the sample collector to provide advantages such as reliable aseptic protection, safe and convenient operation, and efficient sample retention. Specifically, the above-described improvement of the collector body serves as an example. Therefore, as a preferred embodiment, the sample collector is specifically a medical testing sample collector capable of accurately collecting easily contaminated trace samples.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sample collector for medical testing, which is mainly used in the sample collection process in places such as hospital laboratories, community health service centers, and mobile testing vehicles.

[0028] It includes a storage box 6 and a collector body 1. A sealing cover 2 is inserted into the top of the collector body 1. A protective mechanism 3 is provided on the top of the sealing cover 2. A cutting mechanism 4 is provided on the side surface of the sealing cover 2. A collection mechanism 5 is provided inside the collector body 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the protective mechanism 3 effectively seals the top opening of the collector body 1, preventing external dust and microorganisms from contaminating the sample. The insertable design of the protective film 302 facilitates quick opening during collection. The pressing and cutting mechanism 4 allows for precise control of the blade 402, enabling safe cutting of the sealed components and preventing sample spillage or operator injuries caused by manual tearing, thus improving operational safety. The collection mechanism 5 allows for the scraping of the test sample, facilitating sample retention. The storage and retrieval mechanism 7 provides cushioning and shock protection for the collector body 1. Multiple circular slots 702 enable the orderly storage and centralized transportation of multiple samples, reducing sample breakage during transit and improving the overall reliability and efficiency of the entire process of medical testing sample collection, storage, and transportation.

[0030] In the above embodiments, as a preferred solution, the protective mechanism 3 includes a slot 301 and a protective film 302. The slot 301 is located on the top of the sealing cover 2, and the protective film 302 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slot 301. Through the cooperative arrangement of the slot 301 and the protective film 302 in the protective mechanism 3, precise protection of the top opening of the collector body 1 is achieved. The slot 301 provides a stable mounting carrier for the protective film 302, ensuring that the protective film 302 can tightly fit the key area on the top of the sealing cover 2, avoiding protection failure due to loose installation. The protective film 302 directly forms a physical barrier, effectively blocking external dust, impurities and microorganisms from entering the inside of the collector, ensuring that the sample is in a clean environment before collection, reducing the risk of contamination. At the same time, it is easy to open quickly during collection operations, and the collection channel can be exposed without complicated steps. It takes into account both protective performance and ease of operation, and is especially suitable for scenarios in medical testing where the purity requirements of samples are strict.

[0031] In the above embodiments, as a preferred option, the pressing and cutting mechanism 4 includes a pressing groove 403, a blade 402, and a pressing block 401. The pressing groove 403 is formed on the side surface of the sealing cover 2. The blade 402 and the pressing block 401 are both inserted into the inner wall of the pressing groove 403. The pressing block 401 is fixedly connected to one side of the blade 402. Through the cooperative arrangement of the pressing groove 403, the blade 402, and the pressing block 401 in the pressing and cutting mechanism 4, safe and efficient cutting of the sealing component is achieved. The pressing groove 403 provides a stable installation and movement track for the blade 402 and the pressing block 401. This ensures that the blade 402 moves along a fixed path during operation, avoiding inaccurate cutting due to deviation. As the cutting execution component, the blade 402 can quickly cut the sealing structure required for sample collection. The push block 401 is fixedly connected to the blade 402, which not only allows the operator to control the movement of the blade 402 by pressing, but also avoids direct contact between the hand and the blade, reducing the risk of cuts. The combination of these three components makes the cutting operation more controllable and safer. Especially in the scenario of batch sample collection, it can significantly improve the operation efficiency and meet the requirements of medical testing for operation standardization and safety.

[0032] In the above embodiments, as a preferred option, the collection mechanism 5 includes a collection ring 501 and a silicone ring 502. The side surface of the collection ring 501 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collector body 1, and the silicone ring 502 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection ring 501. Through the cooperative arrangement of the collection ring 501 and the silicone ring 502 in the collection mechanism 5, efficient and stable sample collection is achieved. The collection ring 501 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collector body 1, and the silicone ring 502 is fixed to the inner wall of the collection ring 501. Utilizing its own elastic deformation characteristics, it can closely fit the surface of the sampling tool, forming an effective friction when the sampling tool is inserted or withdrawn, which can fully retain the sample and avoid the problem of insufficient collection volume caused by poor sample adhesion. At the same time, the softness of the silicone ring 502 can also reduce the wear on the sampling tool, and its smooth surface is not easy to leave sample residues, reducing the risk of sample cross-contamination. Overall, it improves the accuracy and efficiency of sample collection and meets the requirements of medical testing for sample volume and purity.

[0033] In the above embodiments, as a preferred solution, the storage box 6 is provided with a storage and retrieval mechanism 7 inside, a handle 8 on the top of the storage box 6, and a closure buckle 9 fixedly connected to one side of the storage box 6. Through the storage and retrieval mechanism 7, the top handle 8, and the side buckle 9 of the storage box 6, efficient adaptation of sample storage and transportation is achieved. The storage and retrieval mechanism 7 provides a dedicated space for the collector body 1, avoiding collisions between multiple collectors. The handle 8 is designed for easy one-handed grip by the operator, improving portability, especially suitable for multi-location sample collection scenarios. The closure buckle 9 can tightly lock the storage box 6, preventing the collector from falling due to accidental opening of the box during transportation, while reducing interference from the external environment on the internal samples, thus enhancing the stability and safety of the samples in the storage and transportation process.

[0034] In the above embodiments, as a preferred solution, the storage and retrieval mechanism 7 includes a sponge pad 701 and multiple circular grooves 702. The sponge pad 701 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 6, and the multiple circular grooves 702 are all opened inside the sponge pad 701. Through the setting of the sponge pad 701 and multiple circular grooves 702 in the storage and retrieval mechanism 7, efficient storage and protection of the collector body 1 is achieved. The sponge pad 701 has elastic buffering characteristics, which can absorb the vibration and impact during transportation or handling, and prevent the collector body 1 from being damaged due to collision, thereby protecting the integrity of the internal samples. The design of multiple circular grooves 702 can independently partition and store different collector bodies 1, which not only prevents damage caused by mutual squeezing and friction between collectors, but also realizes the orderly arrangement of multiple samples, which is convenient for quick identification and retrieval, greatly improving the standardization and efficiency of sample storage and circulation, and is especially suitable for centralized processing scenarios of batch samples.

[0035] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0036] First, use the top handle 8 to move the storage box 6 to the operating area. Open the storage box 6 using the buckle 9 on one side, and remove the collector body 1 from the circular groove 702 of the sponge pad 701 in the retrieval mechanism 7. At this time, the cushioning structure of the sponge pad 701 can prevent the collector from being damaged by collision when it is removed. Next, the collection channel can be exposed by peeling or piercing the protective film 302 fixed to the side wall of the slot 301. Insert, for example, a cotton swab with a sample. Operate the pressing block 401 of the pressing groove 403 of the cutting mechanism 4 to make the blade 402 inserted into the inner wall of the pressing groove 403 slide along the groove. Use the blade to cut the cotton swab or other sample tool, and then remove the collection tool such as the sampling cotton swab. Insert the collection tool into the body 1 of the collector, so that it comes into contact with the silicone ring 502 of the collection mechanism 5. The fixing structure of the collection ring 501, together with the elastic deformation of the silicone ring 502, scrapes and retains the sample on the surface of the collection tool, ensuring that the sample is attached in sufficient quantity. After collection, re-insert the sealing cap 2 into the top of the collector body 1, and then put the collector body 1 back into the round groove 702 of the sponge pad 701 in the storage box 6. Finally, close the buckle 9 of the storage box 6 and transfer the storage box 6 by using the handle 8. The cushioning effect of the sponge pad 701 and the closing and fixing of the buckle 9 together ensure that the sample is not affected by vibration during transportation, thus completing the entire collection, storage and transfer process.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
