Description

An intestinal detection system for colorectal cancer patients Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intestinal detection technology, specifically to an intestinal detection system for patients with colorectal cancer. Background Technology

[0002] Intestinal examination is a medical diagnostic procedure that analyzes the condition of the intestines through various means to achieve the purpose of detection. Intestinal examination is a very important means of detecting colorectal cancer. Early colorectal cancer has no obvious symptoms, and most people do not have a colonoscopy after the age of 40. Many colorectal cancer patients are diagnosed at the middle or late stage. Intestinal examination generally includes stool examination, endoscopy, and blood tests.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese Patent No. CN104515863B discloses a fecal testing instrument. The instrument is equipped with a mixing mechanism, a puncture-liquid-addition-ventilation-filtration integrated mechanism, a colloidal gold test reagent and test tube placement mechanism, and an application solution distribution mechanism. The sample bottle is placed on the hollow mixing seat of the mixing mechanism. When the puncture-liquid-addition-ventilation-filtration integrated mechanism is activated, the puncture needle moves down to add liquid into the sample bottle and then moves up. The mixing mechanism then mixes the preparation in the sample bottle. After ventilation and filtration by the puncture-liquid-addition-ventilation-filtration integrated mechanism, the application solution is injected into the test tube. The test tube and colloidal gold test reagent are placed on the turntable of the colloidal gold test reagent and test tube placement mechanism. The application solution in the test tube is then sent by the application solution distribution mechanism to the microscope detection mechanism outside the instrument for detection, or sent by the application solution distribution mechanism to the colloidal gold test reagent for detection.

[0004] For example, in the prior art, Chinese patent CN112433047B discloses a fecal quantitative detection and analysis instrument, including a sample injection component, a sample transfer component, a liquid addition and mixing component, a turbidity detection component, and a microscope inspection component. The liquid addition and mixing component is used to add liquid and mix the fecal sample in the sampling tube transported by the sample injection component and the sample transfer component. The turbidity detection component is used to absorb the fecal sample in the sampling tube after it has been mixed by the liquid addition and mixing component, perform turbidity detection, and send the detection value to the host computer application unit for standard turbidity judgment and storage. Based on the judgment result, it returns to the liquid addition and mixing component to add liquid and mix the sample to achieve the standard turbidity. The microscope inspection component is used to send the fecal sample in the sampling tube that has reached the standard turbidity into the counting cell and fill the entire counting cell with the sample. The microscope automatically photographs the sample in the counting cell to guide subsequent identification.

[0005] For example, in the prior art, Chinese patent CN106153959A discloses an automatic fecal analyzer, in which a robotic arm is installed above the sample tray. The robotic arm picks up sample bottles from the sample rack and places them on the sample tray. A stirring mechanism stirs the material inside the sample bottles. A sample addition unit adds reagents to the sample bottles. A microscopic examination unit examines the material inside the sample bottles. A colloidal gold transfer mechanism extracts colloidal gold from a colloidal gold stack, adds the sample, and then transfers the colloidal gold with the added sample to the reaction chamber.

[0006] Based on the above information, it can be seen that existing stool testing devices (which can be used to diagnose colorectal tumors) are generally used in hospitals. Patients need to register for testing at the hospital, which is quite troublesome. Due to the inconvenience of testing, most patients are unwilling to get tested in time. Furthermore, colorectal tumors do not have obvious symptoms in the early stages, so patients usually discover colorectal tumors in the middle or late stages. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intestinal detection system for colorectal cancer patients to solve the problem of inconvenient detection mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intestinal detection system for colorectal tumor patients, comprising a horizontally placed detector, wherein a liquid crystal display screen and a control panel are fixedly mounted on the front side of the detector.

[0009] The detector has a first detection hole, a second detection hole, and a third detection hole at equal intervals on its upper surface. A sampling tube is inserted into the first detection hole, the second detection hole, and the third detection hole in sequence. A sealing cap is threaded to the upper end of the sampling tube, and a sampling spoon is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the sealing cap.

[0010] An illumination lamp is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first detection hole, and an identification camera for identifying the state of the sample in the sampling tube is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the first detection hole.

[0011] A delivery pump is installed at the lower end of the second detection hole and a connecting pipe is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the delivery pump. The connecting pipe is connected to the sampling tube through a through hole at the bottom of the sampling tube. There are two symmetrical through holes at the bottom of the sampling tube.

[0012] An inspection box is fixedly installed at the lower end of the detector, and the inspection box is connected to the delivery pump through a first connecting pipe. A shaking mechanism is provided below the delivery pump.

[0013] Preferably, a partition plate is fixedly installed inside the sampling tube to divide its internal space, and a sealing ring is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the through hole to seal with the connecting tube. A thin film sealing membrane is fixedly installed inside the sealing ring. The partition plate divides the sampling tube into two independent spaces, so that two sets of samples can be stored.

[0014] Preferably, a positioning strip for determining the direction is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the front side of the sampling tube, and the positioning strip corresponds to the positioning arrow fixedly installed on the upper surface of the detector. The positioning strip and the positioning arrow can be used to locate the placement position of the sampling tube.

[0015] Preferably, a squeezing pad for squeezing the sampling tube is fixedly installed inside the first detection hole, the second detection hole and the third detection hole, and the squeezing pad is made of soft rubber material.

[0016] Preferably, a discharge pipe is fixedly installed on the side of the inspection box, and a control valve is fixedly installed on the outside of the discharge pipe. The discharge pipe is connected to a collection tray installed on the lower surface of the detector. The collection tray forms a magnetic disassembly and installation structure with the detector through an adsorption magnetic strip fixedly installed on its side. The magnetic structure allows the collection tray to be easily removed for cleaning.

[0017] Preferably, limit sliders are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the delivery pump, and the limit sliders and the internal groove of the detector form an up-and-down sliding structure.

[0018] Preferably, a reset spring is fixedly installed between the upper surface of the limiting slider and the inner wall of the detector, and a blower airbag is fixedly installed between the lower surface of the delivery pump and the inside of the detector. The movement of the delivery pump squeezes the blower airbag, causing the blower airbag to blow out air.

[0019] Preferably, a second connecting pipe is fixedly installed through the side of the blower airbag, and the second connecting pipe is interconnected with the receiving groove. The receiving groove is located inside the detector, and the blown air enters the receiving groove, carrying out the fragrance liquid in the absorbent sponge inside the receiving groove, thereby improving the surrounding air environment.

[0020] Preferably, an absorbent sponge is fixedly installed inside the accommodating tank, and the absorbent sponge absorbs fragrance liquid for improving the odor of the surrounding air.

[0021] Preferably, an atomizing nozzle is fixedly installed on the outside of the side of the detector, and the atomizing nozzle is connected to the receiving groove through a delivery pipe, and the nozzle position of the atomizing nozzle is facing the user.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This intestinal detection system for colorectal cancer patients adopts a novel structural design, the specific details of which are as follows:

[0023] 1. The patient's stool sample is taken into a sampling tube using a sampling spoon. The sampling tube is divided into two spaces by a partition, so two samples are required. After sampling, the sampling tube is first placed into the first detection well. The internal recognition camera identifies the state of the sample (such as color, viscosity, etc.). Then, the sampling tube is placed into the second and third detection wells in sequence. The test chamber is used to detect the sample components to achieve the final test. Patients can use the device to perform the test at home, which greatly increases convenience.

[0024] Furthermore, when the sampling tube is placed into the first detection hole and the second detection hole, the connecting tube passes through different sealing membranes, thereby connecting different spaces in the sampling tube to achieve the purpose of detecting different parameters separately, making the detection of feces more comprehensive, and the sealing ring inside the through hole can maintain the seal between it and the connecting tube.

[0025] Furthermore, after testing in the testing chamber, the samples are discharged into a collection tray through a discharge tube. The collection tray is magnetically attached to the testing instrument using magnetic strips, making it easy to disassemble and clean later.

[0026] 2. When the sampling tube is placed into the second and third detection holes, the user can press down on the sampling tube to move the sampling tube downwards, which will then move the delivery pump downwards. The sampling tube will then be reset by the elastic reset action of the reset spring. This process is repeated to make the sampling tube vibrate up and down, which will vibrate the sample inside and make the sample and solvent mix more evenly, thus improving the accuracy of subsequent detection.

[0027] Furthermore, as the delivery pump moves downwards, it squeezes the blower bag below it. At this time, the air in the blower bag is delivered to the inside of the container through the second connecting pipe. The fragrance adsorbed in the adsorption sponge in the container is discharged from the atomizing nozzle through the delivery pipe, improving the surrounding air environment and preventing users from being affected by odors during operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-8. This example provides the following technical solution to facilitate self-testing by patients: a horizontally placed testing instrument 1, with an LCD screen 2 and a control panel 3 fixedly installed on the front side of the instrument 1. The upper surface of the instrument 1 has a first testing hole 4, a second testing hole 5, and a third testing hole 6 spaced evenly apart. A sampling tube 7 is inserted sequentially into the first testing hole 4, the second testing hole 5, and the third testing hole 6. A sealing cap 8 is threaded to the upper end of the sampling tube 7, and a sampling device is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the sealing cap 8. The sample spoon 9 has an illumination lamp 13 fixedly installed at the bottom of the first detection hole 4, and an identification camera 14 for identifying the sample status in the sampling tube 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the first detection hole 4. A delivery pump 15 is installed at the lower end of the second detection hole 5 and the third detection hole 6, and a connecting pipe 16 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the delivery pump 15. The connecting pipe 16 is interconnected with the sampling tube 7 through a through hole 11 at the bottom of the sampling tube 7. Two through holes 11 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the sampling tube 7. An inspection device is fixedly installed at the lower end of the detector 1. Box 17, and the test box 17 is connected to the delivery pump 15 through the first connecting pipe 18. The sampling tube 7 is fixedly installed with a partition plate 10 to divide its internal space. The inner side wall of the through hole 11 is fixedly installed with a sealing ring 1101 that seals with the connecting pipe 16. The sealing ring 1101 is fixedly installed with a thin film sealing membrane 1102. The front outer surface of the sampling tube 7 is fixedly installed with a positioning strip 22 for determining its direction. The positioning strip 22 is aligned with the positioning arrow 23 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the detector 1. The first, second, and third detection holes 4, 5, and 6 are all equipped with compression pads 12 for squeezing the sampling tubes 7. The compression pads 12 are made of soft rubber. The side of the test box 17 is equipped with a discharge pipe 19, and a control valve 1901 is fixedly installed on the outside of the discharge pipe 19. The discharge pipe 19 is connected to the collection tray 20 installed on the lower surface of the detector 1. The collection tray 20 is connected to the detector 1 through the magnetic strip 21 fixedly installed on its side, forming a magnetic disassembly and assembly structure.

[0041] When using the device, the user first uses the sampling spoon 9 to collect a sample of feces. The sample is placed in the sampling tube 7 and sealed with the cap 8 (the sampling tube 7 is divided into two spaces by the partition plate 10, so sampling is required twice). Then, the sampling tube 7 containing the sample is placed into the first detection hole 4, and the light 13 in the first detection hole 4 is turned on. Then, the recognition camera 14 is used to determine the state of the sample in the sampling tube 7 (such as color, viscosity, etc.). After the preliminary test is completed, the sampling tube 7 is taken out and placed into the second detection hole 5 and the third detection hole 6 in sequence. When the sampling tube 7 is placed into the second detection hole 5 (or the third detection hole 6), the corresponding puncture is pierced by the connecting tube 16. The sealing membrane 1102 enters the sampling tube 7 to form a connection. Then, the test chamber 17 and the transfer pump 15 are turned on. Under the action of the transfer pump 15, the solvent in the test chamber 17 is transferred to the sampling tube 7 to dissolve the sample. After dissolution, the transfer pump 15 is turned on in reverse to transfer the dissolved sample from the sampling tube 7 to the test chamber 17 through the first connecting pipe 18 to test the specific components. The test data is displayed on the LCD screen 2 on the front side of the detector 1. After the test is completed, the control valve 1901 is turned on so that the waste liquid in the test chamber 17 is discharged into the collection tray 20 through the discharge pipe 19 (at the same time, a water pipe can be connected to the connecting pipe 16). Then, the collection tray 20 is removed from the bottom of the detector 1 for cleaning.

[0042] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 8. In order to improve the sample mixing effect, this example provides the following technical solution, which specifically discloses that: a shaking mechanism is provided below the delivery pump 15. The shaking mechanism includes limiting sliders 24 fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the delivery pump 15. The limiting sliders 24 and the internal groove of the detector 1 form an up-and-down sliding structure. A return spring 25 is fixedly installed between the upper surface of the limiting sliders 24 and the inner wall of the detector 1.

[0043] When the sampling tube 7 is placed into the second detection hole 5 or the third detection hole 6 for testing, the user can press down on the sampling tube 7 to move it downwards (at this time, the delivery pump 15 moves downwards synchronously by sliding between the limiting slider 24 on its side and the groove). After releasing the press, the sampling tube 7 is reset by the elastic action of the return spring 25. This process is repeated to make the sampling tube 7 shake up and down, so that the fecal sample and solvent inside are mixed more evenly.

[0044] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 8-10. In order to improve the surrounding air environment, this example provides the following technical solution, which specifically discloses: A blower airbag 26 is fixedly installed between the lower surface of the delivery pump 15 and the inside of the detector 1. A second connecting pipe 27 is fixedly installed through the side of the blower airbag 26, and the second connecting pipe 27 is interconnected with the receiving groove 28. The receiving groove 28 is opened inside the detector 1. An absorbent sponge 29 is fixedly installed inside the receiving groove 28, and the absorbent sponge 29 absorbs fragrance liquid for improving the odor of the surrounding air. An atomizing nozzle 31 is fixedly installed on the outside of the side of the detector 1, and the atomizing nozzle 31 is interconnected with the receiving groove 28 through the delivery pipe 30. The nozzle of the atomizing nozzle 31 is facing the user.

[0045] As the delivery pump 15 moves downward, it compresses the blower 26 below it. When the blower 26 is compressed, the air inside is discharged into the receiving trough 28 through the second connecting pipe 27 on its side. Then, the air carries the fragrance (or air purifier) ​​in the absorbent sponge 29 in the receiving trough 28 and is discharged from the atomizing nozzle 31 through the delivery pipe 30. The discharged fragrance improves the surrounding air and avoids the user being greatly affected by odors when operating the device.
