The stool sampling head further includes a sampling rod 102, and the sampling rod 102 is connected to the other end of the brush part 101.
Specifically, the pointed structure is used for inserting a fecal sample, the brush portion 101 has a circular cross-section, and the bristles are freely bendable and elastic, and can return to their original shape after being bent. The diameter of the brush hair is 0.1-0.5 mm, and the height of the brush hair is 1-12 mm. The storage area 104 is annular and is located at the junction of the spine portion 100 and the brush portion 101. The sampling rod 102 has a diameter of 1mm-5mm. The sampling rod 102 and the brush part 101 may be integrally connected or detachably connected.
According to the fecal sampling head provided by the embodiment of the invention, the pointed structure is arranged at one end of the pointed part 100, so that the pointed part 100 can be inserted into a sample, and particularly for a harder sample, the pointed structure has an obvious effect; by arranging the bristles, the bristles can be reversed to the other end of the spike part along with the insertion of the spike part 100 due to the free bending characteristic, a sample can enter the storage area 104 under the pushing of the cutting edge on the spiral relief structure and the pressure of surrounding feces, and when the spike part 100 is pulled out of the sample, the bristles can be reversed to one end of the spike part, namely the direction of the spike structure, so that the bristles and the storage area 104 can form a closed space, the sample can be reserved in the closed space in the pulling-out process, the required amount of sample can be successfully obtained, the sampling can be completed once, the user experience is improved, the sampling efficiency is improved by converting the repeated reciprocating operation during the sampling into the automatizable rotary motion, and meanwhile, the adaptability of the sampling head to different feces forms is improved, and the accuracy of the result is ensured by improving the sampling quality.
In this embodiment, the pointed structure is a cone; the conical surface of the cone is provided with a spiral relief structure 105.
In particular, in use, the tip of the cone is first inserted into the sample and the cone is rotated so that the spiral relief structure pushes the fecal sample rearward, increasing the pressure in the sample storage area under the influence of the surrounding fecal matter. The conical surface of the cone is concave towards the axis of the cone.
It should be noted that a groove may be further disposed on the conical surface of the cone, so that some samples may be collected in the groove conveniently.
In this embodiment, the helical relief 105 is a two-wire thread; alternatively, the helical relief 105 is a single-thread.
In particular, when single-thread threading is employed, the body can be facilitated to enter the sample by rotation. When a double thread is used, the body is more easily screwed into the sample, and in addition, in the two threads of the double thread, the tooth height of one thread is smaller than that of the other thread, so that a part of the sample can remain on the thread with the smaller tooth height.
In this embodiment, when the helical relief 105 is a double-threaded thread, the double-threaded thread is provided with a cutting edge (not shown); when the helical relief 105 is a single thread, a cutting edge (not shown) is provided on the single thread. The sample can be screwed in more effectively through the cutting edge, and the sample in the storage area 104 can be ensured.
Specifically, the number of cutting edges is plural, and the extending directions of the plurality of cutting edge spiral relief structures 105 are uniformly distributed.
In this embodiment, the number of bristles is a plurality; the plurality of bristles are uniformly arranged around the circumference of the brush part 101 and extend in the axial direction of the brush part 101 to form a bristle field 107; the cross-sectional diameter of the bristle field gradually decreases along one end of the brush part 101 toward the other end of the brush part 101, wherein the cross-section is a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the brush part 101, the portion with the largest cross-sectional diameter is close to the spike part 100, and the portion with the smallest cross-sectional diameter is far away from the spike part 100, so that more sample can be reserved on the bristle field when thinner sample is collected. There is a space between the boundary of the bristle field near the spike 100 and the portion of the cone having the largest cross-sectional diameter, i.e., the width of the storage region 104 in the axial direction of the brush part 101, the size of the space determining the amount of sample that can be stored.
Referring to fig. 2, in this embodiment, the diameter of the portion of the bristle field having the largest cross-sectional diameter is greater than the diameter of the portion of the cone having the largest cross-sectional diameter, thus ensuring that the bristles cover the storage area 104 when bent.
In this embodiment, the spike 100 is detachably connected to the brush 101. By detachable connection, the different sized spike 100 is facilitated to be replaced.
In an alternative scheme of the embodiment, the spine part 100 is spliced with the brush part 101; specifically, the spike 100 is screwed with the brush 101.
In this embodiment, the bristles are inclined toward the direction in which the spike 100 is located. The bristles may be perpendicular to the axis of the brush part 101, that is, the axis of the bristles may be perpendicular to the axis of the brush part 101 and intersect.
In this embodiment, the material of the main body may be metal or polymer, and the polymer may be polysulfone, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyacrylate, polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride or polycarbonate.
