Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical examination specimen instruments, specifically a stool specimen sampling auxiliary tool. Background Technology

[0002] Stool routine examination is one of the commonly used medical examination items in clinical practice, used to understand whether there is inflammation, bleeding, parasitic infection, etc. in the digestive tract, and plays an important role in disease diagnosis and health monitoring. In the examination procedure, the examinee usually needs to collect a stool sample themselves. Current sampling methods generally involve providing the examinee with a sampling cup, and the examinee uses a disposable cotton swab to collect a small amount of sample before placing it into the sampling cup. However, the existing sampling procedure has some insurmountable problems. Because the conventionally used sampling cup is an open cup with a separate lid, the sample can easily adhere to the edge of the cup during the process of placing and removing the swab, or even leak out, potentially leading to environmental contamination or contamination of the examinee's own body, which is not conducive to achieving ideal hygiene. Furthermore, the subsequent handling of the cotton swab containing sample after stool collection is inconvenient. If it is placed in the sampling cup, it is difficult to seal the cup; if it is discarded directly, it will adversely affect the hygiene of the operating environment.

[0003] Therefore, whether a new sampling aid tool can be proposed to solve the shortcomings of existing solutions, such as inconvenience in operation and difficulty in hygiene control, has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology mentioned above by proposing an auxiliary tool for stool sample collection. It uses a container that is easy to seal and is equipped with a specially designed sampling rod. After sampling, it can be easily sealed to prevent sample leakage and contamination, thereby optimizing the hygiene management of the sampling process.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A stool sample collection aid includes a sample container and a sampling rod. The sample container includes a box body, a lid, and a handle mechanism. The lid and the box body are connected by a movable flip structure. The handle mechanism includes a first handle and a second handle. The first handle is integrally connected to the outer edge of the top of the box body, and the second handle is integrally connected to the outer edge of the lid. The second handle can be detached from the first handle as the lid and the box body flip relative to each other. The handle mechanism and the movable flip structure are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the box body. The sampling rod includes a sampling head for holding or adhering to the sample and a rod body for hand operation. A clamping groove structure is provided between the first handle and the second handle for inserting the rod body. When the first handle and the second handle are connected, the rod body is confined in the clamping groove structure.

[0006] Preferably, the rod body includes a long rod portion and a short rod portion, the short rod portion bends downward relative to the long rod portion, the sampling head is located at the lower end of the short rod portion, and the long rod portion is provided with a pre-break structure that is easy to break under force; after the long rod portion is placed in the clamping groove structure, the short rod portion extends obliquely downward into the cavity of the box body, while the sampling head is located in the cavity of the box body, and the part of the long rod portion that extends beyond the clamping groove structure can be broken off and separated by the pre-break structure.

[0007] Preferably, the first handle and the second handle are configured as thin sheet structures with consistent contours, and the first handle and the second handle are connected to each other to facilitate finger gripping.

[0008] Preferably, the lower surface of the first handle is provided with a rough contact surface I, and the upper surface of the second handle is provided with a rough contact surface II. The rough contact surface I and the rough contact surface II are aligned with each other after the first handle and the second handle are connected.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping structure includes a channel I on the upper side of the first handle and a channel II on the lower side of the second handle. Channel I is formed by a recess in the upper surface of the first handle, and channel II is formed by a recess in the lower surface of the second handle. After the first handle and the second handle are connected, channel I and channel II together form the clamping mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the upper surface of the first handle is provided with a plurality of fastening buckle holes, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the clamping groove structure. The lower surface of the second handle is provided with a plurality of protrusions that correspond one-to-one with the fastening buckle holes. The protrusions and the fastening buckle holes are detachably snapped together.

[0011] Preferably, the outer edge of the first handle is provided with an outwardly extending soft spring piece I, and the outer edge of the second handle is provided with an outwardly extending soft spring piece II. The soft spring piece I and the soft spring piece II are non-contact, and a gap is left between the soft spring piece I and the soft spring piece II when the first handle and the second handle are connected.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the stool sample collection auxiliary tool using the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: When using this tool to collect stool samples, the subject can hold the long end of the sampling rod to collect the sample. After sampling, the sampling head containing the sample is placed into the container. The lid connected to the container can be closed directly, and the rod is fixed in the handle mechanism. At this point, the long end can be broken off. This design ensures that the front part of the sampling rod (sampling head, short end, and part of the long end) remains fixed in the container, guaranteeing a sealed container and facilitating direct delivery for testing. It effectively reduces the risk of sample leakage and contamination.

[0013] The first and second handles, which extend outward and are in the form of thin sheets, are easy to grip with fingers, ensuring the stability of the box when held. Furthermore, when breaking off a long rod, the first and second handles can be pinched tightly to secure the part of the rod that needs to be retained, allowing the excess rod to be broken off.

[0014] When sealing after sampling, pinch the first and second handles together to make the buckle insert into the fastening hole, so as to maintain the mutual contact and fixation of the first and second handles, which facilitates hand transfer and stability during placement. At the same time, clamp the rod to ensure that the sampling head is stably placed in the box. Attached Figure Description
