Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of laboratory instruments, and in particular relates to a novel micro-volume medicine spoon. Background Technology

[0002] In experiments, micro-volume spoons are mainly used for sampling reagents and pharmaceutical powders at the milligram or even microgram level. Whether for preparing solutions with extremely low concentrations or for precise micro-sampling, micro-volume spoons are irreplaceable auxiliary tools. To adapt to various sampling requirements and sample characteristics, micro-volume spoons come in various types, including spoons, needles, shovels, and ridges, and can be used as needed to suit overall sampling requirements.

[0003] However, this micro-spoon has obvious drawbacks: the complete spoon set includes multiple functional parts, making it inconvenient to carry around; when crushing solid clumps of samples with the spatula, the samples are prone to splashing, making it inconvenient to hold the samples in place for crushing; and the needle tip is exposed, which can easily lead to accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a novel micro-volume medicine spoon.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A novel micro-volume medicine spoon includes a main body, a shovel head section, and a scraping edge section. The main body is rod-shaped with a fine needle at one end, a medicine spoon at the other end, and an external thread in the middle section.

[0007] One end of the shovel head section is a hollow rod-shaped structure I with internal threads, and the other end is equipped with a medicine shovel; one end of the scraping edge section is a hollow rod-shaped structure II with internal threads, and the other end is equipped with a scraping edge.

[0008] The main body of the structure with a fine needle tip can be inserted into the hollow cavity of the rod-shaped structure I or the rod-shaped structure II, and connected by a threaded connection.

[0009] The threaded connection enhances the stability of the micro-dosing spoon structure. The spoon can be used to scoop out medication; the fine needle can pick up minute amounts of particulate matter, puncture and separate clumps, or clean residual medication; the spatula can scrape viscous substances or level them quantitatively; the scraper edge can precisely level and measure, or separate and gather substances. The spoon, fine needle, spatula, and scraper edge can be combined as needed, reducing the number of components to carry and offering simplicity and convenience.

[0010] Furthermore, the shovel head section has an angle between the shovel and the rod-shaped structure I, and the shovel has a through hole in the middle. When the fine needle is inserted into the rod-shaped structure I, it will pass through the rod-shaped structure I and then through the through hole.

[0011] The diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the fine needle. After the fine needle passes through the through hole, it can be used to insert and fix the clump of medicine. During the sampling or crushing process, the medicine is locked by the fine needle, and then pressure is applied to crush it with a medicine shovel. This avoids the medicine from sliding or scattering due to vibration during operation, and ensures the precise positioning of the micro-drug.

[0012] Furthermore, the angle between the shovel head section and the rod-shaped structure I is 120-160°.

[0013] Furthermore, when the end of the main structure with the fine needle tip is inserted into the rod-shaped structure II, the fine needle will pass through the rod-shaped structure II and be parallel to the scraping edge.

[0014] Furthermore, by rotating the thread, the connection length between the main body of the structure and the shovel section or scraping section can be adjusted, so that the fine needle tip is retracted into the hollow cavity of the rod-shaped structure I or rod-shaped structure II and does not protrude.

[0015] The threaded connection method ensures that the structure is stable and does not wobble, and can also store the fine needle, preventing it from being exposed and causing accidents, thereby improving the overall safety of the structure.

[0016] Furthermore, the novel micro-volume spoon is made of 304 stainless steel. 304 stainless steel has high temperature resistance up to 800℃, rust resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for powder sampling at the milligram to microgram level.

[0017] Furthermore, the main body of the structure can be divided into a needle tip segment and a spoon tip segment.

[0018] Furthermore, the needle section and the spoon section are connected by threads;

[0019] Alternatively, the needle tip section may have a positioning rod, and the spoon tip section may have a positioning hole, which can be connected through the rod hole.

[0020] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model can house the fine needle inside the shovel head or scraper section, preventing it from being exposed and improving safety; furthermore, the overall structure integrates functions, combining the spoon head, shovel head, scraper head, and needle into one unit, reducing the number of items to carry; through precise operation, the fine needle passes through the through hole of the shovel and engages with it, allowing for the fixation of clumped medicine when crushing it with the shovel, preventing slippage. The overall structure of this utility model is stable, and the threaded connection ensures the components are secure and not easily loosened; the material is durable, with 304 stainless steel being corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant, making it suitable for laboratory environments.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model includes a structural body 1 and a shovel head section 2. The structural body 1 is in the shape of a thin rod, with a thin needle 11 at one end, a medicine spoon 12 at the other end, and an external thread 13 in the middle section.

[0035] One end of the shovel head section 2 is a hollow rod-shaped structure I21 with internal threads, and the other end is provided with a medicine shovel 22; the medicine shovel 22 of the shovel head section 2 has an angle of 120-160° with the rod-shaped structure I21, and the medicine shovel 22 has a through hole 23 in the middle.

[0036] One end of the main body 1 with a fine needle 11 can extend into the hollow cavity of the rod-shaped structure I21 and be connected by a threaded connection.

[0037] When the fine needle 11 is inserted into the rod-shaped structure I21, it will exit through the rod-shaped structure I21 and then pass through the through hole 23. The diameter of the through hole 23 is larger than the diameter of the fine needle 11. After the fine needle 11 passes through the through hole 23, it can be used to insert and fix the clump of medicine. During sampling or crushing, the medicine is locked by the fine needle, and then pressure is applied to crush it with the medicine spatula 22, avoiding the medicine from sliding or scattering due to operational vibration, and ensuring the precise positioning of the trace medicine.

[0038] The connection length between the main body 1 and the shovel head section 2 can be adjusted by rotating the thread, so that the fine needle 11 is retracted into the hollow cavity of the rod-shaped structure I21 and does not protrude. The threaded connection method can ensure that the structure is stable and does not wobble, and can also store the fine needle to avoid accidents caused by it being exposed, thereby improving the safety of the overall structure.

[0039] The novel micro-volume spoon is made of 304 stainless steel. 304 stainless steel has the properties of high temperature resistance up to 800℃, rust prevention, and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for powder sampling at the milligram to microgram level.

[0040] The main body 1 can be divided into a needle section and a spoon section, which are connected by threads.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model includes a main structural body 1 and a scraping section 3. The main structural body 1 is a thin rod with a thin needle 11 at one end and a medicine spoon 12 at the other end, and an external thread 13 in the middle section. One end of the scraping section 3 is a hollow rod-shaped structure II 31 with an internal thread, and the other end is provided with a scraping edge 32.

[0043] One end of the main body 1 with the fine needle 11 can extend into the hollow cavity of the rod-shaped structure II 31 and be connected by a threaded connection. When the end of the main body 1 with the fine needle 11 extends into the rod-shaped structure II 31, the fine needle will exit the rod-shaped structure II 31 and be parallel to the scraping edge 32.

[0044] The connection length between the main body 1 and the scraping section 3 can be adjusted by rotating the thread, allowing the fine needle 11 to be retracted into the hollow cavity of the rod-shaped structure II 31, without protruding. This threaded connection ensures structural stability and prevents wobbling, while also concealing the fine needle to avoid accidents caused by it being exposed, thus improving the overall structural safety.

[0045] The main body 1 can be divided into a needle section and a spoon section. The needle section has a positioning rod, and the spoon section has a positioning hole, which are connected through the rod hole.

[0046] This invention employs a threaded connection to improve the stability of the micro-volume medicine spoon structure. The medicine spoon can be used to scoop out medicines; the fine needle can pick up trace amounts of granular substances, puncture and separate clumps, or clean up residual medicine; the medicine spatula can scrape viscous substances or quantitatively level them; the scraper edge can precisely level and quantitatively level or separate and gather substances. The medicine spoon, fine needle, medicine spatula, and scraper edge can be combined as needed, reducing the number of items to carry and making it simple and convenient.

[0047] This invention allows for the concealment of a fine needle within the structure of the shovel head or scraper section, preventing exposure and improving safety. Furthermore, the overall structure integrates functions, combining the spoon head, shovel head, scraper head, and needle into one unit, reducing the number of components required. Through precise operation, the fine needle passes through the through-hole of the shovel and engages with it, allowing for the securing of clumped medicines when crushing them with the shovel, preventing slippage. The overall structure of this invention is stable, with threaded connections ensuring component stability and preventing loosening. The durable 304 stainless steel material is corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant, making it suitable for laboratory environments.

[0048] 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 in accordance with the claims of this utility model should still fall within the patent coverage of this utility model.
