Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical testing, and more specifically, to a collection cup. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid samples are a common type of sample in medical testing. Existing technologies for collecting liquid samples include conventional liquid collectors and integrated collection and testing devices. Conventional liquid collectors only collect the sample; during testing, the liquid sample must be transferred to the testing device for monitoring. They are suitable for scenarios with multiple tests and requiring different instruments. Integrated collection and testing devices have both collection and testing functions, suitable for scenarios with a single, fixed test. Testing different tests often requires multiple different integrated collection and testing devices, resulting in a larger sample size and increased testing costs. There is an urgent need for a device that can test more tests with fewer devices and complete tests with smaller sample volumes. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a collection cup to alleviate the technical problems of high equipment requirements, large sample volume requirements, and high testing costs when using liquid samples for testing in the prior art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: The collection cup provided by this utility model includes a collection cup body; The collection cup body has a collection cavity, which includes multiple test chambers that are interconnected, and the depth of at least one test chamber is less than the depth of the other test chambers.

[0005] Furthermore, the plurality of test chambers include a first test chamber and a second test chamber, the first test chamber and the second test chamber are separated by a limiting protrusion, and the limiting protrusion is provided with a guide groove communicating with the first test chamber and the second test chamber; The depth of the first test chamber is less than the depth of the second test chamber.

[0006] Furthermore, the second test chamber surrounds the outer periphery of the first test chamber.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the collection chamber is provided with a raised protrusion in the middle, and the top wall of the raised protrusion is provided with the limiting protrusion. The first test chamber is formed between the limiting protrusion and the raised protrusion, and the limiting protrusion is provided with the guide groove. The second test chamber is formed between the inner wall of the collection cavity, the limiting protrusion, and the elevating protrusion.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the collecting cavity protrudes into the interior of the collecting cavity to form the raised protrusion.

[0009] Furthermore, the cross-section of the collection chamber is circular, and the cross-section of the first test chamber is circular or rectangular.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross-section of the collection cavity is elliptical, the cross-section of the first test chamber is rectangular, and the length direction of the first test chamber is arranged along the major axis direction of the collection cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple flow channels are provided; The first test chamber has a circular cross-section, and the plurality of the guide channels are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first test chamber; Alternatively, the first test chamber has a rectangular cross-section, and the two ends of the first test chamber are provided with the guide grooves.

[0012] Furthermore, the first test chamber and the second test chamber are spaced apart.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the collecting cup body is provided with a pouring spout, which communicates with the collecting cavity; And / or, the collection cup includes a handle, which is mounted on the outer wall of the collection cup body.

[0014] Based on the above technical solutions, the technical effects achievable by this utility model can be analyzed as follows: The collection cup provided by this utility model includes a collection cup body; the collection cup body has a collection cavity, the collection cavity includes multiple test chambers, the multiple test chambers are interconnected, and the depth of at least one test chamber is less than the depth of other test chambers.

[0015] This collection cup features an integrated design with only one component, resulting in a simple structure and low cost. Due to the structural limitations of the test element, excessive liquid level can lead to test failure if the liquid submerges the bottom of the test element, especially when the sample level is too high. The collection cup comprises multiple interconnected test chambers of varying depths. When the sample volume is large, the liquid level is above the bottom of the shallowest test chamber, allowing the liquid to enter and the test element to be placed there. Conversely, when the sample volume is small, the liquid level is below the bottom of the shallowest test chamber but above the bottom of the deepest test chamber, preventing the liquid from entering. The test element can then be placed in a test chamber of appropriate depth. This collection cup can meet the testing needs of different sample volumes. Furthermore, each test chamber can hold at least one test element, allowing different test elements to be used for different tests.

[0016] The collection cup adopts an integrated design, with the collection chamber divided into different test chambers. Test chambers of different depths can meet the testing needs under different sample sizes, enabling the testing of more items with fewer devices and completing the test with a small sample size.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Example 1 See Figures 1 to 4 The collection cup provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a collection cup body 100; the collection cup body 100 has a collection cavity 110, the collection cavity 110 includes a plurality of test chambers, the plurality of test chambers are interconnected, and the depth of at least one test chamber is less than the depth of the other test chambers.

[0024] Specifically, the collection cup is configured with different shapes for different test elements 300 to meet the testing requirements of test elements 300 with different shapes. The collection chamber 110 of the collection cup is used to collect liquid samples, and the liquid samples should preferably not overflow.

[0025] This collection cup features an integrated design with only one component, resulting in a simple structure and low cost. Due to the structural limitations of the test element 300, excessive liquid level can lead to test failure if the sample submerges too much of the bottom of the test element 300. The collection chamber 110 of this cup includes multiple interconnected test chambers of varying depths. When the sample volume is large, the sample level is above the bottom of the test chamber with the smallest depth, allowing the sample liquid to enter and the test element 300 to be placed in it for testing. Conversely, when the sample volume is small, the sample level is below the bottom of the test chamber with the smallest depth but above the bottom of the test chamber with the largest depth, preventing the sample liquid from entering and allowing the test element 300 to be placed in a test chamber of appropriate depth. This collection cup can meet the testing needs of different sample volumes. Furthermore, at least one test element 300 can be placed within each test chamber, and different test elements 300 can be used to test different items. The collection cup adopts an integrated design, with the collection chamber 110 divided into different test chambers. Test chambers of different depths can meet the testing needs under different sample sizes, enabling the testing of more items with fewer devices and completing the test with a small sample size.

[0026] The shape and structure of the collecting cup are described in detail below: In the optional solution provided by this utility model embodiment, the outer wall of the collecting cup body 100 is provided with a pouring port 140, which is connected to the collecting cavity 110.

[0027] Specifically, the pouring port 140 is connected to the inside of the collection chamber 110, and the vertical cross-section gradually decreases from the end near the collection chamber 110 to the end away from the collection chamber 110.

[0028] The pouring port 140 is located on the outer wall of the collection cup body 100 and is used to transfer the liquid sample carried inside the collection chamber 110 to other devices.

[0029] In the optional embodiment of this utility model, the collecting cup includes a handle 200, which is installed on the outer wall of the collecting cup body 100.

[0030] Specifically, the handle 200 and the collecting cup body 100 are integrally molded, and the collecting cup with the collecting cup body 100 and the handle 200 can be formed by injection molding using a mold; this enhances the connection strength between the handle 200 and the collecting cup body 100, and makes the collecting cup a separate part, resulting in a simple structure and convenient use. Furthermore, see... Figure 1The handle 200 includes a transition section 210 and a handheld section 220. The two ends of the transition section 210 are connected to the collection cup body 100 and the handheld section 220, respectively. The two side walls of the transition section 210 are concave arc-shaped in the direction of approaching each other, which increases the connection area between the transition section 210 and the collection cup body 100 and the handheld section 220, and reduces the weight of the entire collection cup. The end face of the handheld section 220 away from the transition section 210 is concave arc-shaped in the direction of away from the collection cup body 100, which makes the area of ​​the handheld section 220 large, thereby enabling the collection cup to be held stably.

[0031] The handle 200 is located on the side wall of the collection cup body 100, making it convenient to hold the collection cup during sampling.

[0032] In the optional solutions provided by the embodiments of this utility model, see Figure 3 The test chambers include a first test chamber 111 and a second test chamber 112. The first test chamber 111 and the second test chamber 112 are separated by a limiting protrusion 120, and the limiting protrusion 120 is provided with a guide groove 121 that connects the first test chamber 111 and the second test chamber 112. The depth of the first test chamber 111 is less than the depth of the second test chamber 112.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the collection cavity 110 is divided into two test chambers by the limiting protrusion 120, namely the first test chamber 111 and the second test chamber 112.

[0034] The guide groove 121 of the limiting protrusion 120 enables the first test chamber 111 and the second test chamber 112 to be connected, thereby allowing the liquid sample to flow between the first test chamber 111 and the second test chamber 112.

[0035] In the optional embodiment of this utility model, the second test chamber 112 surrounds the outer periphery of the first test chamber 111.

[0036] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 4 The limiting protrusion 120 is located in the middle of the collecting cavity 110, dividing the collecting cavity 110 into a first test chamber 111 located in the middle and a second test chamber 112 located on the outer periphery of the first test chamber 111. It is worth noting that the middle of the collecting cavity 110 does not specifically refer to the central axis of the collecting cavity 110, but rather to the middle region where the limiting protrusion 120 is located, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the limiting protrusion 120 and the inner wall of the collecting cavity 110; the first test chamber 111 may be biased in one direction of the collecting cavity 110, but it must meet the condition that the second test chamber 112 can be formed between the outer wall of the limiting protrusion 120 and the inner wall of the collecting cavity 110.

[0037] The second test chamber 112 surrounds the outer periphery of the first test chamber 111, increasing the area where the first test chamber 111 and the second test chamber 112 can communicate, which facilitates the setting of the guide groove 121 on the limiting protrusion 120; and can avoid the problem of excessive difference in liquid level between the first test chamber 111 and the second test chamber 112 when the collection cup is tilted; in addition, the first test chamber 111 is located in the middle, which makes it convenient to place the test element 300.

[0038] In the optional solutions provided by the embodiments of this utility model, see Figure 3 The bottom wall of the collection chamber 110 is provided with a raised protrusion 130 in the middle, and the top wall of the raised protrusion 130 is provided with a limiting protrusion 120. The limiting protrusion 120 and the raised protrusion 130 form a first test chamber 111, and the limiting protrusion 120 is provided with a guide groove 121. The inner wall of the collection chamber 110, the limiting protrusion 120 and the raised protrusion 130 form a second test chamber 112.

[0039] Specifically, the top wall of the limiting protrusion 120 is recessed downward to form a guide groove 121, and the bottom wall of the guide groove 121 is flush with the top wall of the raised protrusion 130.

[0040] The limiting protrusion 120 is arranged around the circumference of the raised protrusion 130 to form the first test chamber 111, so that the depth of the first test chamber 111 is less than the depth of the second test chamber 112, which is simple in structure and easy to manufacture.

[0041] In the optional embodiment of this utility model, the bottom wall of the collecting cavity 110 protrudes into the interior of the collecting cavity 110 to form a raised protrusion 130.

[0042] Specifically, see Figure 4 Viewed from the bottom of the collecting cup, the middle of the collecting cup has an inwardly recessed area, which forms a raised protrusion 130 within the collecting cavity 110.

[0043] The middle part of the collecting cavity 110 is recessed inward to form a raised protrusion 130, which reduces the weight of the collecting cup.

[0044] In the optional embodiment of this utility model, the cross-section of the collection cavity 110 is circular, and the cross-section of the first test chamber 111 is circular.

[0045] Specifically, see Figure 1 The first test chamber 111 is shaped like a circular groove, and the bottom of the first test chamber 111 is higher than the bottom of the collection chamber 110. More specifically, the cross-section of the raising protrusion 130 is circular, and the limiting protrusion 120 extends along the circumferential direction of the raising protrusion 130, so that the first test chamber 111 is shaped like a circular groove between the raising protrusion 130 and the limiting protrusion 120.

[0046] Since the bottom surface of the first test chamber 111 is higher than the bottom surface of the second test chamber 112, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 When the sample volume is large, the sample liquid level is higher than the bottom of the first test chamber 111, allowing liquid to enter the first test chamber 111. The test element 300 can then be placed inside the first test chamber 111 for testing. (See also...) Figure 3 When the sample volume is small, the sample liquid level is below the bottom of the first test chamber 111, and the liquid cannot enter the first test chamber 111. In this case, the test element 300 can be placed in the second test chamber 112 for testing. When the first test chamber 111 is in the shape of a circular groove, it is suitable for testing a single test element 300, such as HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin).

[0047] In the optional solution provided by this utility model embodiment, multiple guide channels 121 are provided, and the multiple guide channels 121 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first test chamber 111.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, see Figure 1 Four guide channels 121 are provided, and the four guide channels 121 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the first test chamber 111. Of course, other numbers of guide channels 121, such as three, five or six, should also be within the protection scope of this utility model embodiment.

[0049] The flow channel 121 is provided with multiple channels to improve the communication between the first test chamber 111 and the second test chamber 112.

[0050] Example 2 In the optional embodiment of this utility model, the cross-section of the collection cavity 110 is circular, and the cross-section of the first test chamber 111 is rectangular.

[0051] Specifically, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The difference between this embodiment and the collection cup described in Embodiment 1 is that the first test chamber 111 is rectangular in shape. More specifically, the cross-section of the raised protrusion 130 is rectangular, and the limiting protrusion 120 extends around the raised protrusion 130, thereby forming a rectangular groove-shaped first test chamber 111 between the raised protrusion 130 and the limiting protrusion 120.

[0052] The test element 300 includes test strips or test plates; since the first test chamber 111 is rectangular, it can simultaneously accommodate multiple test strips or test plates with multiple test strips, thus improving testing efficiency.

[0053] In the optional solution provided by this utility model embodiment, the first test chamber 111 is provided with guide grooves 121 at both ends.

[0054] Specifically, the guide channel 121 is located at both ends of the first test chamber 111, which facilitates manufacturing.

[0055] Example 3 In the optional solution provided by the present utility model embodiment, the cross-section of the collection cavity 110 is elliptical, the cross-section of the first test chamber 111 is rectangular, and the length direction of the first test chamber 111 is arranged along the major axis direction of the collection cavity 110.

[0056] Specifically, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The difference between this embodiment and the collection cup described in Embodiment 1 is that the first test chamber 111 is a rectangular groove, and the collection chamber 110 is an elliptical groove; the length direction of the first test chamber 111 is arranged along the major axis direction of the collection chamber 110. The major axis direction of the collection chamber 110 refers to the direction of the straight line segment passing through the two intersection points of the ellipse in the horizontal cross-section of the collection chamber 110. More specifically, the cross-section of the raised protrusion 130 is rectangular, and the limiting protrusion 120 extends around the raised protrusion 130, forming a rectangular groove-shaped first test chamber 111 between the raised protrusion 130 and the limiting protrusion 120. Preferably, guide grooves 121 are provided at both ends of the first test chamber 111.

[0057] The test element 300 includes test strips; since the first test chamber 111 is rectangular and the collection chamber 110 is elliptical, the volume of the first test chamber 111 that can accommodate test strips is increased, making it suitable for simultaneous testing of multiple test items, such as simultaneously testing 20 or more test strips.

[0058] Example 4 In the optional solution provided by the embodiments of this utility model, the first test chamber 111 and the second test chamber 112 are arranged at intervals.

[0059] Specifically, the difference between this embodiment and the collection cup described in Embodiment 1 is that the limiting protrusion 120 is located inside the collection cavity 110 and both ends of the limiting protrusion 120 are connected to the inner wall of the collection cavity 110, so that the collection cavity 110 is divided into two test chambers, left and right; wherein the interior of the first test chamber 111 is raised.

[0060] The first test chamber 111 and the second test chamber 112 are arranged at intervals, and the depth of the first test chamber 111 is less than the depth of the second test chamber 112, which can meet the test conditions of different test elements 300.

[0061] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0062] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
