Abstract
Description
Non-face-to-face biological sample collection system
[0001] The present invention relates to a non-face-to-face biological sample collection system, and more particularly, to a biological sample collection system capable of collecting, safely storing, and transporting a biological sample.
[0002] A biological sample is a blood sample that passes through the kidneys, and waste products in the blood are filtered, stored, and then excreted in the form of an aqueous solution. Its representative role is to regulate the amount of water in the body and excrete waste products.
[0003] Through component testing of biological samples, the risk of various diseases such as urinary system diseases, endocrine diseases, and metabolic diseases can be screened, and since it is simpler to perform than other types of tests, biological sample testing is one of the tests that is essential in the process of checking the body's health.
[0004] As the pandemic has passed, the medical field has also been providing non-face-to-face treatment, but in the case of blood tests or collection tests, there are separate kits that can be sent to the destination and treated remotely.
[0005] However, there are difficulties in conducting biological sample testing remotely.
[0006] Biological samples are in liquid form and are easily spoiled and contaminated at room temperature after collection. Therefore, they must be transported in a sealed container and refrigerated or frozen.
[0007] These limitations make it difficult to conduct urine tests remotely. For blood tests, a small amount of blood is applied to a sample paper, allowed to air-dry, and then placed in a plastic bag for transport at room temperature.
[0008] Biological samples such as urine require a large amount of moisture and take a long time to dry naturally. This process can cause external contamination, and the storage and transport of sample paper is difficult. Therefore, it is urgent to devise measures to resolve these issues.
[0009] The present invention is an invention devised to solve the problems of the above-described prior art,
[0010] This relates to a non-face-to-face biological sample collection system that allows for easy collection of biological samples, storage and natural drying at room temperature, and safe transportation to the destination.
[0011] The tasks of the present invention are not limited to the tasks mentioned above, and other tasks not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.
[0012] A non-face-to-face biological sample collection system for achieving the above-described purpose is a unit that has a space formed inside to allow a biological sample soaked in a sample paper to be inserted and extracted into the space, while fixing the inserted sample paper without wrinkling it, and sealing a portion of the sample paper along the plane direction of the sample paper to prevent the biological sample from leaking out, and may include a fixing portion that holds the sample paper so that the shape of the sample paper soaked in the biological sample can be preserved so that the user can move the sample paper, and a receiving portion that is formed so that only a portion of the fixing portion is inserted together with the sample paper, and is formed so as to face the plane direction of the sample paper and is provided to absorb moisture of the sample paper.
[0013] In addition, the fixed portion is formed so that the lower portion is long toward the receiving portion to hold the sample paper, and a portion thereof protrudes outward along the periphery so as to be combined with the upper portion of the receiving portion.
[0014] And the fixing part may include a gripping member that is formed to be rotatable about a hinge axis so as to be coupled with the sample paper therebetween and protrudes outwardly by a predetermined length along the surface direction of the sample paper and is coupled with the upper end of the receiving part, and an internal catching member that is formed long downward from the gripping member and fixes both sides of the sample paper, but protrudes by a predetermined length toward the sample paper to fix the sample paper.
[0015] In addition, the internal locking member may include a fixing projection that protrudes toward the sample paper and limits a fixed position of the sample paper, and a fastening latch formed on the upper portion of the fixing projection and rotated toward the sample paper about the hinge axis to fasten the fixing portion.
[0016] And the above-mentioned holding member may include an external hanging member that is formed to be able to be combined with the inner circumference of the open upper part of the receiving portion while the sample paper is inserted into the receiving portion.
[0017] In addition, the above-mentioned collection unit may further include an absorption unit provided in the space to absorb moisture from the sample paper, and a partition unit having a shape surrounding the absorption unit and forming a partition between the sample paper and the absorption unit.
[0018] And the above absorption section can be provided in two pieces so that one side and the other side of the sample paper face each other.
[0019] Additionally, the partition may include an absorption hole formed between the sample paper and the absorption portion to serve as a passage through which moisture in the sample paper moves to the absorption portion.
[0020] And the above-mentioned compartment can be formed so that the upper part thereof is inclined toward the sample paper from the upper part of the above-mentioned absorption section.
[0021] Additionally, the non-face-to-face biological sample system may include a collection unit and a drop unit configured to receive a biological sample inside and allow the sample paper to enter and exit through an open portion.
[0022] And the fixing part that has the sample paper attached can be inserted into the dripping unit to wet the biological sample on the sample paper, and then combined with the collection unit at a position adjacent to the dripping unit.
[0023] In addition, the above-mentioned drip unit may include a body member in which the biological sample is accommodated, an entrance member formed on one surface of the body member through which the sample paper enters and exits, and an inclined member formed on the body member along the surface direction of the sample paper to close a portion of the entrance member and guide the biological sample that has fallen off the sample paper to move into the interior of the body member.
[0024] And the above-mentioned inclined member can be formed symmetrically on both sides with the entrance member as the center.
[0025] Additionally, the above-mentioned inclined member may be provided to be detachably attached to the body member.
[0026] The non-face-to-face biological sample device of the present invention for solving the above problem can have the effect of preventing the biological sample from leaking to the outside when the biological sample is collected and preventing the biological sample from being deteriorated at room temperature.
[0027] In addition, since the sample paper inserted into the receiving portion does not directly contact the absorbent portion, the components of the biological sample may not be contaminated or altered due to external contaminants or external environmental factors.
[0028] The effects of the present invention are not limited to the effects mentioned above, and other effects not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description of the claims.
[0029] The summary set forth above, as well as the detailed description of preferred embodiments of the present application described below, will be better understood when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

In describing the present embodiments, identical names and symbols will be used for identical components, and additional descriptions thereof will be omitted.
[0041] The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0042] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall shape of a non-face-to-face biological sample collection system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0043] The non-face-to-face biological sample collection system according to the present invention is a unit for collecting a biological sample from a user and sending it by mail or courier, etc., and can be provided to preserve a sample paper (500) soaked with a biological sample, quickly absorb moisture inside, and enable separation and combination.
[0044] In explaining the present invention, a biological sample is used as an example, but the biological sample may also be blood.
[0045] Let me explain in detail with the following drawing.
[0046] FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a detailed configuration of a non-face-to-face biological sample collection system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0047] The collection unit (10) has a space formed inside so that a sample paper (500) can be inserted, the insertion and extraction of the sample paper (500) can be performed, and the inserted sample paper (500) can be fixed without being wrinkled.
[0048] And since a part of the sample paper is supported and sealed along the surface direction of the sample paper (500), the biological sample does not leak to the outside, and thus the biological sample on the sample paper is prevented from being deteriorated.
[0049] The collection unit (10) may include a fixed part (100) and a receiving part (200).
[0050] The fixing member (100) can hold the sample paper (500) soaked with the biological sample so that the user can move the sample paper (500) while preserving the shape of the sample paper (500).
[0051] And the receiving portion (200) is formed so that only a part of the fixing portion (100) is inserted together with the sample paper (500), and is formed to face the surface direction of the sample paper (500) so that moisture of the sample paper (500) can be absorbed.
[0052] First, the fixed part (100) is formed so that a portion thereof is elongated downwards to grip the sample paper (500) in the plane direction, and a portion thereof protrudes outward along the circumference so that it can be combined with the upper portion of the receiving part (200).
[0053] Specifically, the fixing portion (100) is formed to be relatively thinner than the receiving portion (200) so that the user can hold it with his or her fingers, and the lower portion is formed to protrude a predetermined amount toward the receiving portion (200) so that the sample paper (500) can be fixed, but can come into contact with both sides of the sample paper (500).
[0054] Therefore, the user can hold the fixing part (100) while fixing the sample paper (500) to the fixing part (100) and wet the biological sample onto the sample paper (500).
[0055] A sample paper (500) soaked with a biological sample is inserted into the internal space of the receiving portion (200), and the inside of the receiving portion (200) may include an absorbent portion (300) capable of absorbing moisture from the sample paper (500).
[0056] In this embodiment, a material capable of absorbing moisture may be, for example, silica gel (SLICA-GEL), and the type and absorption capacity of the absorbent portion (300) may vary, and the scope of the rights is not limited due to this.
[0057] The absorbent portion (300) is formed of a material capable of absorbing moisture, and is positioned so as to be in close contact with both sides of the receiving portion (200), but can be in close contact with both sides of the receiving portion (200).
[0058] Here, both sides of the receiving portion (200) may be the parts facing both sides of the sample paper (500).
[0059] The shape of one side of the absorbent portion (300) that comes into contact with the receiving portion (200) may correspond to that of the receiving portion (200), and if the sample paper (500) is placed between a pair of absorbent portions (300), it is possible to transform into various shapes, and the scope of rights is not limited due to this.
[0060] An absorption portion (300) according to one embodiment of the present invention may be formed into a rectangular parallelepiped.
[0061] In addition, although the present invention has been described as an example in which the absorbent portion (300) is provided as a pair on the side of the receiving portion (200), the absorbent portion (300) may further include an auxiliary absorbent portion (not shown) formed on the bottom surface of the receiving portion (200).
[0062] The above auxiliary absorption portion is formed on the inner bottom surface of the receiving portion (200), and the partition portion (400) and the absorption portion (300) can be formed on the upper portion of the above auxiliary absorption portion.
[0063] Through this, even if the biological sample on the sample paper (500) falls downward from the sample paper (500), it can be absorbed through the auxiliary absorption unit.
[0064] Meanwhile, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a partition (400) may be further included between the sample paper (500) inserted into the receiving portion (200) and the absorbing portion (300).
[0065] And the partition (400) is inserted into the receiving portion (200) and is provided between the absorbent portion (300) and the sample paper (500) to prevent the sample paper (500) and the absorbent portion (300) from coming into contact.
[0066] Additionally, a number of holes may be formed along the surface direction of the sample paper (500) to provide a channel through which moisture of the sample paper (500) is absorbed.
[0067] The detailed configurations of the present invention will be described through the following drawings.
[0068] FIG. 3 is a drawing for explaining a holding member (120) and an internal hanging member (140) of a non-face-to-face biological sample collection system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0069] As shown, the fixed part (100) is formed so that the lower part is long toward the receiving part (200) to hold the sample paper (500) and a portion thereof protrudes outward along the periphery so that it can be combined with the upper part of the receiving part (200).
[0070] The fixing member (100) for this purpose may include a gripping member (120) and an internal hanging member (140).
[0071] The phage member (120) is formed to be rotatable about a hinge axis (125) so as to be coupled with a sample paper (500) therebetween, and can be coupled with the upper end of the receiving portion (200) by protruding outward by a predetermined thickness along the surface direction of the sample paper (500).
[0072] And the internal fixing member (140) is formed long downward from the gripping member (120) to fix both sides of the sample paper (500), but can be fixed by protruding a predetermined amount toward the sample paper (500).
[0073] As shown, it can be confirmed that a hinge axis (125) is formed at the top.
[0074] And the grip member (120) is provided with two members on both sides centered on the hinge axis (125), the upper part is formed as a solid so that the user can hold it with his fingers, and the lower part of the solid body can have a shape that protrudes outward.
[0075] Specifically, the grip member (120) may include a fixing jaw (122) and a coupling protrusion (124) inserted into the upper inner circumference of the receiving portion (200).
[0076] First, the anchoring jaw (122) has a stepped shape that is bent toward the center of the grip member (120) from the outer circumference and can be anchored to the upper end of the receiving portion (200).
[0077] And the connecting projection (124) is formed long at the bottom of the anchoring jaw (122) and can be connected to the inner circumference of the upper part of the receiving part (200), and the tip protruding downwards is formed with an inclined outer circumference to facilitate insertion into the inside of the receiving part (200).
[0078] Meanwhile, the inner side of the holding member (120) may include an internal fixing member (140) so that the sample paper (500) can be fixed to the holding member (120) with the sample paper (500) interposed therebetween.
[0079] The internal locking member (140) may include a locking latch (142) formed at a position close to the hinge axis (125) so that the two members rotate around the hinge axis (125), but the sample paper (500) is locked so that it does not come off the gripping member (120).
[0080] The fastener (142) can be formed in the shape of a protrusion and a groove on the two members.
[0081] Additionally, the upper part of the sample paper (500) is placed at the bottom of the binding latch (142), so that the binding latch (142) can determine the position of the sample paper (500).
[0082] Continuing, the lower portion of the fastener (142) in the grip member (120) may include a fixing projection (144) that protrudes from both sides toward the sample paper (500) and comes into contact with the sample paper (500).
[0083] The fixed projection (144) is formed convexly toward the sample paper (500) and can be formed in a hemispherical shape.
[0084] Since the fixed protrusion (144) is formed in a hemispherical shape, the sample paper (500) may not be damaged even if it comes into contact with the sample paper (500).
[0085] Meanwhile, the partition (400) according to the present invention may be formed so that the upper part is inclined toward the center of the receiving part (200).
[0086] This will be explained in detail through Figure 4.
[0087] Figure 4 is an internal cross-sectional view of a non-face-to-face biological sample collection system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0088] As shown, the upper part of the compartment (400) is in contact with the inner surface of the receiving part (200), is formed to slope downward toward the center, and has a shape that is bent downward to form a path through which the sample paper (500) is inserted and is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the receiving part (200).
[0089] It may be formed as an integral part that is combined with the receiving part (200) of the above-mentioned compartment (400), or it may be formed in a form that is combined with the receiving part (200).
[0090] In addition, through this shape, the lower two sides of the holding member (120) are adjacent to each other, thereby preventing the holding member (120) from being opened around the hinge axis (125) during the process of delivering the collection unit (10) to the destination.
[0091] Through the shape of the compartment (400), the biological sample soaked in the sample paper (500) can flow down to the space where the sample paper (500) is inserted without being absorbed into the receiving portion (200).
[0092] Meanwhile, the present invention may be provided in various modified embodiments.
[0093] The following drawings will explain modified embodiments of the present invention.
[0094] FIG. 5 is a drawing for explaining a non-face-to-face biological sample collection system according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
[0095] In this embodiment, the collection unit (10) may include a fixed portion (100A), a receiving portion (200A), an absorption portion (300A), and a partition portion (400A).
[0096] As shown, the fixed part (100A) can be formed as a fixed type in which two members bind the sample paper (500A) on both sides, and a partition part (400A) can be formed integrally at the lower part of the fixed part (100A).
[0097] In the second embodiment, the partition (400A) may be formed such that a plurality of bars (not shown) are formed long toward the receiving portion (200A) at a predetermined interval from each other so as to be insertable into the receiving portion (200A), and moisture may move into the gaps separated from the partition (400A).
[0098] Here, the interior of the receiving portion (200A) is provided with a pair of absorbent portions (300A), and the receiving portion (200A) is placed between the pair of absorbent portions (300A) so that the absorbent portion (300A) can absorb the moisture of the sample paper (500A).
[0099] At this time, the sample paper (500A) and the absorption section (300A) may not come into contact with each other through the partition section (400A).
[0100] FIG. 6 is a drawing for explaining a non-face-to-face biological sample collection system according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
[0101] In this embodiment, the collection unit (10) may include a fixed portion (100B), a receiving portion (200B), and an absorption portion (300B).
[0102] The lower part of the fixing part (100B) is formed long so that it can be inserted and combined with the receiving part (200B), and the fixing part (100B) is formed so that it can be combined on both sides with the sample paper (500B) as the center, so that it can be combined while coming into contact with a part of the sample paper (500B) to fix the sample paper (500B).
[0103] Specifically, the lower part of the fixed part (100B) has a panel shape, and a long hole (not shown) can be formed along the length direction.
[0104] The width of the above-mentioned hole is formed to be relatively narrower than the width of the sample paper (500B), so that the front and back sides of both sides along the length direction of the sample paper (500B) can be contacted and joined by the fixing member (100B).
[0105] Here, the sample paper (500B) may be formed by forming a plurality of long rectangles in one direction, and in this embodiment, the sample paper (500B) may be fixed by the fixing member (100B) in a state where three of them are arranged adjacent to each other.
[0106] Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of holes in the fixed part can be formed in three corresponding to the number of sample papers (500B).
[0107] And, inside the receiving portion (200B), an absorbent portion (300B) formed in a face shape is provided, and at least one absorbent portion (300B) is placed inside the receiving portion (200B) and does not come into contact with the sample paper (500B) by the fixing portion (100B), and the absorbent portion (300B) can absorb moisture of the sample paper (500B) through the hole.
[0108] FIG. 7 is a drawing for explaining a non-face-to-face biological sample collection system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
[0109] In this embodiment, it may include a cover portion (100C), a receiving portion (200C), an absorption portion (300C), and a compartment portion (400C).
[0110] In this embodiment, a space may be formed inside and a portion of the receiving portion (200C) may be included, and a cover portion (100C) may be provided to close one open side of the receiving portion (200C).
[0111] The cover part (100C) may be formed to be relatively larger than the circumference of the receiving part (200C) and may be provided to close the receiving part (200C) by surrounding the receiving part (200C).
[0112] To this end, the cover part (100C) is connected to the receiving part (200C) by a hinge so that the fixing part (100) can close an open part of the receiving part (200C).
[0113] And, a partition (400C) is inserted inside the receiving portion (200C), and a plurality of holes penetrating along the surface direction are formed in the partition (400C), and a partition wall (not shown) protruding in the surface direction to divide the area of the partition (400C) can be formed.
[0114] And it may be in the form where the sample paper (500C) is placed between the above-mentioned partition walls.
[0115] In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, a sample paper (500C) can be placed between the partition walls on the other side of the partition wall (400C) formed with one side of the partition wall (400C) in contact with the floor.
[0116] In this embodiment, the partition walls are illustrated as being formed in three numbers, but this is only one example, and the scope of the rights is not limited to the number of partition walls.
[0117] In addition, an absorption part (300C) can be inserted into the receiving part (200C), and can be inserted into the receiving part (200C) so as to be in contact with the other surface of the partition part (400C).
[0118] In this embodiment, the absorption unit (300C) can be inserted into the receiving unit (200C) in a state in which silica gel (SILLICA-GEL) is packaged.
[0119] This may have the advantage that the moisture in the sample paper does not come into direct contact with the silica gel.
[0120] Meanwhile, the non-face-to-face biological sample collection system according to the present invention may further include a drip unit (600) capable of wetting a biological sample on a sample paper (500).
[0121] At this time, the dosing unit (600) can be configured in various ways as long as it can wet the biological sample onto the sample paper (500), and the scope of the rights is not limited due to this. However, for a more detailed explanation, reference will be made to FIGS. 8 and 9 as follows.
[0122] At this time, FIGS. 8 and 9 are drawings for explaining the drip unit in the non-face-to-face biological sample collection system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0123] The dosing unit (600) may be configured to accommodate a biological sample inside and allow sample paper (500) to enter and exit through an open portion.
[0124] Through this, the fixing part (100) that has the sample paper (500) wetted by the user inside the drip unit (600) can be removed from the drip unit (600) while the fixing part (100) is wetted and inserted into the adjacently arranged collection unit.
[0125] Specifically, the drip unit (600) may include a body member (620) in which a biological sample is accommodated, an entrance member (660) formed on one surface of the body member (620) through which a sample paper (500) enters and exits, and an inclined member (640) formed on the body member (620) along the surface direction of the sample paper (500) to close a portion of the entrance member (660) and guide the biological sample that has fallen off the sample paper (500) to move into the body member (620).
[0126] The body member (620) is formed in a tapered shape with an area that narrows from the bottom to the top, so as to prevent the biological sample contained inside from escaping to the outside, and the entrance member (660) formed in the open upper part of the body member (620) can be partially closed by the inclined member (640) and transformed into the shape of a long hole corresponding to the shape of the sample paper (500).
[0127] By accurately confirming the position where the sample paper (500) is inserted along the shape of the entrance member (660) as described above, the user can insert and remove the sample paper (500), and in the process of the sample paper (500) being removed from the body member (620), a portion of the biological material soaked in the sample paper (500) can be removed through the inclined member (640).
[0128] Specifically, the inclined member (640) is formed on both sides with the entrance member (660) as the center, and can be formed to have a downward slope from the end of the body member (620) toward the center.
[0129] Accordingly, a biological sample that has fallen on the inclined member (640) may flow into the receiving member along the inclined member (640).
[0130] Through this, the sample paper (500) fixed to the fixed part (100) is inserted into the body member (620) of the dosing unit (600), and when it is taken out again, the remaining moisture lump absorbed by the sample paper (500) can be removed by the inclined member (640).
[0131] And, by being able to insert a sample paper (500) into a collection unit (10) located adjacent to a doping unit (600), a lump of biological sample can be prevented from entering the collection unit and becoming fixed while evaporating, thereby preventing decay and contamination.
[0132] Meanwhile, the doping unit (600) according to the present invention can be provided in a form in which the inclined member (640) is detachably attached to the body member (620).
[0133] This is to contain a biological sample such as urine inside the body member (620), and the inclined member (640) according to the present embodiment may be in a form that is separated and combined with the body member (620).
[0134] According to another embodiment, the upper portion of the body member (620) is hinged so that the inclined member (640) can rotate in the body member (620) and open the interior of the body member (620).
[0135] As described above, preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described.
