Description

本発明は、便検体が入れられる採便容器、および、便検査装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a stool collection container in which a stool specimen is placed, and a stool inspection apparatus.

被検者の大便を分析して異常の有無を検査する際、大便から採便することが次広く行われている(例えば、特許文献1)。その際、採便で得られた便検体の組成を均一にして分析することで検査精度を向上させることができる。このために、検査の前処理として、便検体中の未消化物である夾雑物を除去するとともに便検体を撹拌していることが多い(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   When analyzing the stool of a subject and examining the presence or absence of an abnormality, taking a stool from the stool is widely used (for example, Patent Document 1). In that case, the test accuracy can be improved by making the composition of the stool sample obtained by stool analysis uniform. For this reason, as a pretreatment for the test, impurities that are undigested substances in the stool sample are often removed and the stool sample is often stirred (for example, see Patent Document 1).

従来、この前処理では、便検体をへら等で撹拌させつつ、便検体に含まれている夾雑物を作業員が取り除くことが一般的である。その際、便検体の一部を採取してへら等で撹拌させつつ夾雑物を除去して電子天秤にかけ、規定量になるまで採取と天秤での秤量とを繰り返し行っている。   Conventionally, in this pretreatment, it is common for an operator to remove impurities contained in a stool specimen while stirring the stool specimen with a spatula or the like. At that time, a part of the stool sample is collected and stirred with a spatula or the like, and then impurities are removed and applied to an electronic balance. The collection and weighing with a balance are repeated until a predetermined amount is obtained.

しかし、便検体中の夾雑物の除去作業では、作業員が誤って便に触れてしまう可能性があり、また、便の悪臭で作業員が悩まされる。このため、作業員の負担が大きい。   However, in the operation of removing contaminants in the stool specimen, the worker may accidentally touch the stool, and the worker is bothered by the odor of the stool. For this reason, the burden of a worker is large.

また、夾雑物の組成は多岐にわたり様々であり、しかも便検体中に含まれる夾雑物の割合が多いほど手間がかかるため、夾雑物の除去作業に時間がかかる。そして、撹拌と夾雑物除去とを行った後の便が規定量に到達するまで上記の前処理の作業を行う必要があるため、作業効率が悪い。   In addition, the composition of contaminants varies widely, and more time is required for removing the contaminants because the greater the proportion of contaminants contained in the stool specimen, the more labor is required. And since it is necessary to perform the said pre-processing operation | work until the stool after performing stirring and the removal of impurities reaches a regulation amount, work efficiency is bad.

また、採取された便検体の量が少ない場合、夾雑物から便をこそぎ落とす作業も必要になる上、前処理後の便検体に夾雑物が残る可能性も生じる。   In addition, when the amount of the collected stool sample is small, it is necessary to scrape the stool from the contaminant, and there is a possibility that the contaminant remains in the stool sample after the pretreatment.

そこで、本発明は、便検査における作業員の負担を減らすとともに高精度の便検査を短時間で効率良く行うことを可能にした採便容器および便検査装置を提供することを課題とする。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a stool collection container and a stool inspection apparatus that can reduce the burden on the operator in the stool inspection and can efficiently perform a highly accurate stool inspection in a short time.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明に係る採便容器は、容器底側を構成し便検体が入れられる凹状部を有している便支持容器部と、前記便支持容器部に上側から係合するとともに、該係合によって便検体が濾されるフィルター部を有する本体容器部と、を備えることを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, a stool collection container according to the present invention comprises a stool support container part having a concave part that constitutes a container bottom side and into which a stool specimen is placed, and the stool support container part from above. And a main body container part having a filter part through which the stool specimen is filtered by the engagement.

また、本発明に係る便検査装置は、容器底側を構成し便検体が入れられる凹状部を有している便支持容器部と、前記便支持容器部に上側から係合するとともに、該係合によって便検体が濾されるフィルター部を有する本体容器部と、を備え、前記本体容器部は、前記フィルター部を有して前記便支持容器部と係合するフィルター機能付き容器部と、前記フィルター機能付き容器部の上側に着脱自在に係合する蓋部と、で構成され、前記蓋部には、前記フィルター部で濾された前記便検体に検体棒先端部を到達させるための検体棒挿通用の孔部が形成されている採便容器に入れられた便検体を検査する便検査装置であって、前記検体棒を着脱自在に保持する保持部と、前記保持部を上下動させる駆動機構と、を備えたことを特徴とする。   In addition, the stool inspection apparatus according to the present invention engages the stool support container part from above with a stool support container part having a concave part that constitutes a container bottom side and into which a stool specimen is placed. A main body container portion having a filter portion through which a stool specimen is filtered, and the main body container portion has the filter portion and engages with the stool support container portion; and A lid that removably engages the upper side of the container portion with a filter function, and a sample rod for allowing the tip of the sample rod to reach the stool sample filtered by the filter portion.

In the second and subsequent embodiments, the same components as those already described are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

[第1実施形態]
まず、第1実施形態を説明する。図1〜図5に示すように、本実施形態に係る採便容器10は、容器底側を構成し便検体CN(図3参照)が入れられる凹状部11を有している便支持容器部12と、便支持容器部12に上側から係合するとともに、該係合によって便検体が濾されるフィルター部Fを有する本体容器部Qとを備える。
[First Embodiment]
First, the first embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1-5, the stool collection container 10 which concerns on this embodiment comprises the concave part 11 which comprises the container bottom side and the stool specimen CN (refer FIG. 3) can be put in. 12 and a main body container portion Q having a filter portion F that is engaged with the stool support container portion 12 from above and through which the stool specimen is filtered.

本実施形態では、本体容器部Qは、このフィルター部Fを有して便支持容器部12と係合するフィルター機能付き容器部14と、フィルター機能付き容器部14の上側に着脱自在に係合する蓋部材16と、で構成される。   In the present embodiment, the main body container portion Q has the filter portion F and engages with the stool support container portion 12 and is detachably engaged with the upper side of the filter function container portion 14. And a lid member 16 to be configured.

フィルター部Fは、該係合によって便検体を濾すことで、便検体中の夾雑物の通過を抑えつつ便検体CNを通過させる。また、蓋部材16は、開けられることによってフィルター部上の便検体がフィルター機能付き容器部14から取り出し可能となるように配置されている。   The filter part F filters the stool sample by the engagement, thereby allowing the stool sample CN to pass while suppressing the passage of impurities in the stool sample. The lid member 16 is arranged so that the stool specimen on the filter part can be taken out from the container part 14 with a filter function by being opened.

本実施形態では、便支持容器部12の上部から中部にかけて外周側に雄ねじMSが形成されている。そして、フィルター機能付き容器部14は、円筒状であって濾された便検体CFが円筒内側に出てくる中央円筒部14mと、中央円筒部14mの外壁から張り出して下方へ延びる外円筒部14eとを有する。この外円筒部14eの内周側には、雄ねじMSにねじ係合する雌ねじFSが形成されている。そして、フィルター部Fは中央円筒部14mの下端部に設けられている。   In the present embodiment, a male screw MS is formed on the outer peripheral side from the upper part to the middle part of the feces support container part 12. The container portion 14 with a filter function is cylindrical and has a central cylindrical portion 14m from which the filtered stool specimen CF protrudes to the inside of the cylinder, and an outer cylindrical portion 14e extending downward from the outer wall of the central cylindrical portion 14m. And have. A female screw FS that engages with the male screw MS is formed on the inner peripheral side of the outer cylindrical portion 14e. And the filter part F is provided in the lower end part of the center cylindrical part 14m.

また、フィルター機能付き容器部14の中央円筒部14mが凹状部11との間に隙間を形成せずに凹状部11内へ進入できるように、凹状部11の内寸は、中央円筒部14mの外寸に合わせて決められている。これを確実に行えるように、凹状部11の側壁部11e上端は、内周端よりも外周端のほうが高い断面三角形状となっている。   In addition, the inner size of the concave portion 11 is that of the central cylindrical portion 14m so that the central cylindrical portion 14m of the container portion 14 with a filter function can enter the concave portion 11 without forming a gap with the concave portion 11. It is decided according to the outside size. In order to ensure this, the upper end of the side wall 11e of the concave portion 11 has a triangular cross section that is higher at the outer peripheral end than at the inner peripheral end.

フィルター部Fは、所定寸法以上の夾雑物を通過させないものであれば特に限定しないが、本実施形態ではメッシュ状である。メッシュ寸法は、例えば、一般家庭用の網戸よりも少し細かい程度の寸法である。この所定寸法は、意図する検査精度などにより予め設定された寸法である。   Although the filter part F will not be specifically limited if it does not allow the passage of the foreign substance more than a predetermined dimension, In this embodiment, it is mesh shape. The mesh size is, for example, a size slightly smaller than that of a general household screen. This predetermined dimension is a dimension set in advance depending on the intended inspection accuracy.

また、フィルター機能付き容器部14の内面側であってフィルター部Fのすぐ上側には、フィルター部Fを通過した便検体CFを均等に混ぜ易くするための凹凸部14jが形成されている。本実施形態では、凹凸部14jは、上下方向に細長く延びる凹部と凸部とが、内周に沿ってジグザグ状となるように配置された構成にされている。フィルター部Fを通過して凹凸部14jに当接している便検体CF(図5参照)は、フィルター機能付き容器部14の回転に伴うこの凹凸部14jの回転によって捏ねられる。   Further, on the inner surface side of the container portion 14 with a filter function and immediately above the filter portion F, a concavo-convex portion 14j for easily mixing the stool specimen CF that has passed through the filter portion F is formed. In the present embodiment, the concavo-convex portion 14j is configured such that a concave portion and a convex portion that are elongated in the vertical direction are arranged in a zigzag shape along the inner periphery. The stool specimen CF (see FIG. 5) passing through the filter part F and in contact with the uneven part 14j is kneaded by the rotation of the uneven part 14j accompanying the rotation of the container part 14 with a filter function.

また、蓋部材16には、採便用ヘラ17が蓋内側から下方へ延び出しており、採便用ヘラ17はフィルター機能付き容器部14の中空空間に位置している。そして蓋部材16は、ワンタッチでフィルター機能付き容器部14の上部に係合可能(装着可能)である。便支持容器部12、フィルター機能付き容器部14や蓋部材16は、例えば樹脂成型で形成されている。   Further, on the lid member 16, a spatula spatula 17 extends downward from the inside of the lid, and the spatula spatula 17 is located in the hollow space of the container part 14 with a filter function. The lid member 16 can be engaged (attached) to the upper portion of the container portion 14 with a filter function with one touch. The feces support container part 12, the container part 14 with a filter function, and the lid member 16 are formed by resin molding, for example.

(作用、効果)
本実施形態で採便容器10を用いて夾雑物除去済みの便検体を得るには、まず、蓋部材16および便支持容器部12をそれぞれフィルター機能付き容器部14から取外し、採便用ヘラ17で便検体CNを採取して便支持容器部12に入れる。そして、蓋部材16をフィルター機能付き容器部14に装着するとともにフィルター機能付き容器部14の雄ねじMSを便支持容器部12の雌ねじFSに当てて係合方向に回転させる。この回転によって、フィルター機能付き容器部14の中央円筒部14mが凹状部11内へ進入し、フィルター部Fが便検体CNを上方から押圧しつつフィルター部Fが凹状部内を下降する。
(Function, effect)
In order to obtain a stool specimen from which impurities have been removed using the stool collection container 10 in this embodiment, first, the lid member 16 and the stool support container part 12 are each removed from the container part 14 with a filter function, and a stool collection spatula 17 is obtained. The stool sample CN is collected and put into the stool support container 12. Then, the lid member 16 is mounted on the container part 14 with the filter function and the male screw MS of the container part 14 with the filter function is applied to the female screw FS of the stool support container part 12 and rotated in the engaging direction. By this rotation, the central cylindrical portion 14m of the container portion 14 with a filter function enters the concave portion 11, and the filter portion F descends in the concave portion while the filter portion F presses the stool specimen CN from above.

この結果、図3〜図5に示すように、フィルター部Fを通過できない寸法の夾雑物Kは、フィルター部Fの下側に残り、フィルター部Fを通過できる所定寸法未満の便検体がフィルター部F上に濾されて出てくる。   As a result, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the contaminant K having a size that cannot pass through the filter unit F remains below the filter unit F, and a stool sample having a size less than a predetermined size that can pass through the filter unit F is filtered. Comes out filtered on F.

回転による係合が終了後、蓋部材16を開き、フィルター部F上に出てきている夾雑物除去済みの便検体CFを採取し、検査することで、高精度の便検査を行うことができる。   After the engagement by rotation is completed, the lid member 16 is opened, and the stool specimen CF from which impurities have been removed appearing on the filter part F is collected and inspected, so that a highly accurate stool inspection can be performed. .

以上説明したように、本実施形態では、採便用ヘラ17で便検体CNを便支持容器部12に入れ、フィルター機能付き容器部14を便支持容器部12に係合させることで、便検体CN中の夾雑物が除去された便検体CFを得ることができる。従って、作業員が剥き出しの便検体をヘラ等で直接に撹拌させて取り除くような作業が不要となる。これにより、作業中に作業員に便が付着する可能性が大きく低減し、衛生的であり、便検査における作業員の負担が大きく低減される。しかも夾雑物除去済みの便検体CF、すなわち、高精度の便検査を行うことができる便検体CFを短時間で容易に効率良く得ることができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the stool specimen CN is put into the stool support container 12 with the stool collection spatula 17 and the container part 14 with a filter function is engaged with the stool support container 12. A stool specimen CF from which impurities in CN are removed can be obtained. This eliminates the need for the operator to remove the exposed stool specimen by directly stirring it with a spatula or the like. Thereby, the possibility that stool adheres to the worker during the work is greatly reduced, which is hygienic, and the burden on the worker in the stool inspection is greatly reduced. In addition, it is possible to easily and efficiently obtain a stool specimen CF from which impurities have been removed, that is, a stool specimen CF capable of performing a highly accurate stool test.

また、蓋部材16の採便用ヘラ17で便検体CNを採取後、直ちに蓋部材16をフィルター機能付き容器部14に装着させることができる。従って、従来に比べ、便の悪臭が作業環境に広がることを大幅に抑止できる。このことは、便検査における作業員の負担を更に大きく低減させることに寄与する。   In addition, the lid member 16 can be attached to the container part 14 with the filter function immediately after the stool specimen CN is collected by the stool collection spatula 17 of the lid member 16. Therefore, compared with the past, it can suppress significantly that the malodor of a stool spreads to a working environment. This contributes to further reducing the burden on workers in the fecal inspection.

なお、蓋部材16では採便用ヘラ17のない構成にして、一般的なヘラを用いて便検体CNを採取してもよい。   The lid member 16 may be configured without the spatula for collecting stool 17, and the stool specimen CN may be collected using a general spatula.

また、蓋部材16をなしにした採便容器10にすることも可能である。これにより、蓋部材16の着脱作業が不要になるので、作業をより短時間で行うことができる。   It is also possible to make the stool collection container 10 without the lid member 16. Thereby, since the attaching / detaching work of the lid member 16 becomes unnecessary, the work can be performed in a shorter time.

[第2実施形態]
次に、第2実施形態を説明する。図6、図7に示すように、本実施形態に係る採便容器20は、第1実施形態に比べ、フィルター機能付き容器部14に代えてフィルター機能付き容器部24を備えており、また、蓋部材16に代えて、ヘラが付いていない蓋部材26を備えている。

When the user holds the outer container part 23 with one hand and applies a turning force by applying a finger to the knob part 25g with the other hand, the inner container part 25 rotates relative to the outer container part 23, and the stirring part The stool specimen CF can be stirred at 25p.

(作用、効果)
本実施形態で採便容器20を用いて夾雑物除去済みの便検体を得るには、まず、専用のヘラ(図示せず)などを用いて便支持容器部12に便検体を入れる。
(Function, effect)
In order to obtain a stool specimen from which impurities have been removed using the stool collection container 20 in this embodiment, first, the stool specimen is put into the stool support container part 12 using a dedicated spatula (not shown).

そして、フィルター機能付き容器部24(膜部材Mが配置された内側容器部25と外側容器部23とが予め係合したもの)を便支持容器部12に当て、係合方向に回転させることで係合させていく。この回転によって、フィルター機能付き容器部24の中央円筒部14mが凹状部11内へ進入し、フィルター部Fが便検体CNを上方から押圧しつつフィルター部Fが凹状部内を下降して便検体CNがフィルター部Fで濾されて通過する。この結果、フィルター部Fを通過できない寸法の夾雑物K(図3〜図5参照)は、フィルター部Fの下側に残り、フィルター部Fを通過できる所定寸法未満の便検体CFがフィルター部F上に出てきて、フィルター部Fと膜部材Mとの間に溜まる。   And the container part 24 with a filter function (what the inner side container part 25 and the outer side container part 23 in which the membrane member M is arrange | positioned previously) is applied to the feces support container part 12, and it is made to rotate by an engagement direction. Engage. By this rotation, the central cylindrical part 14m of the container part 24 with a filter function enters the concave part 11, and the filter part F presses the stool specimen CN from above, while the filter part F descends in the concave part CN. Is filtered by the filter part F and passes. As a result, the foreign substance K (see FIGS. 3 to 5) having a size that cannot pass through the filter unit F remains below the filter unit F, and the stool specimen CF that is less than a predetermined size that can pass through the filter unit F is filtered. It comes out and accumulates between the filter part F and the membrane member M.

また、この係合方向への回転によっても、フィルター部Fと膜部材Mとの間の便検体CFが撹拌部25pの回転によって捏ねられるが、本実施形態では、上記係合の完了後、つまみ部25gに指を当て、外側容器部23に対して内側容器部25を回動(すなわち往復回転動)させる。これにより、フィルター部F上のこの便検体CFは、第1実施形態に比べ、撹拌部25pによって充分に捏ねられていることにより均一性が遥かに高い。   Further, the stool specimen CF between the filter unit F and the membrane member M is also kneaded by the rotation of the stirring unit 25p by this rotation in the engaging direction. A finger is applied to the portion 25g, and the inner container portion 25 is rotated (that is, reciprocally rotated) with respect to the outer container portion 23. As a result, the stool specimen CF on the filter unit F has a much higher uniformity by being sufficiently kneaded by the stirring unit 25p than in the first embodiment.

その後、蓋部材26を開き、検体棒を内側容器部25内へ上方から差し込んで、検体棒先端部を内側容器部25の底板孔部25hに到達させる。そして、薄膜部Mwを検体棒先端部で押し破り、フィルター部F上の便検体CF(フィルター部Fと膜部材Mとの間に存在している便検体)に検体棒先端部を接触させ、検体棒先端部に便検体CFを付着させる。なお、付着させる際、検体棒を回動させることで、検体棒先端部に付着する便検体量が不足することを回避し易い。   Thereafter, the lid member 26 is opened, and the sample rod is inserted into the inner container portion 25 from above, so that the distal end portion of the sample rod reaches the bottom plate hole portion 25 h of the inner container portion 25. Then, the thin film portion Mw is pushed by the specimen rod tip, and the specimen rod tip is brought into contact with the stool specimen CF (the stool specimen existing between the filter part F and the membrane member M) on the filter part F, The stool specimen CF is attached to the tip of the specimen bar. In addition, when making it adhere, it is easy to avoid that the amount of stool specimens adhering to the tip of the specimen bar is insufficient by rotating the specimen bar.

そして、検体棒を採便容器20から引き出す。その際、薄膜部Mwを検体棒先端部で押し破ったことによって形成された薄膜部孔から検体棒先端部を通過させるときに、検体棒先端部に付着し過ぎている便検体部分は孔周囲の膜部分によってこそぎ落とされる。従って、採便容器20から取り出された検体棒では、便検体が付着し過ぎていることは充分に回避されている。   Then, the sample stick is pulled out from the stool collection container 20. At that time, when the sample rod tip is passed through the thin film portion hole formed by pushing the thin film portion Mw with the sample rod tip, the stool specimen portion that is too attached to the sample rod tip is around the hole. It is chopped off by the membrane part. Therefore, it is sufficiently avoided that the stool specimen is excessively attached to the specimen stick taken out from the stool collection container 20.

[第3実施形態]
次に、第3実施形態を説明する。図8、図9に示すように、本実施形態に係る採便容器30は、第2実施形態に比べ、蓋部材の中央に検体棒挿通用の蓋孔部36hが形成されている。そして、検体棒Rが蓋孔部36hに差し込まれ、スペーサSP1を介して差し込みが停止された状態(検体棒待機状態)にされている。なお、スペーサとしては検体棒Rへの着脱が容易であればよく、使用者が指で挟む薄厚の挟持部G1が形成されたスペーサSP1であっても、厚い挟持部G2が形成されたスペーサSP2であってもよい。
[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the stool collection container 30 according to this embodiment has a lid hole portion 36 h for inserting a specimen rod at the center of the lid member, as compared with the second embodiment. Then, the sample rod R is inserted into the lid hole portion 36h, and the insertion is stopped via the spacer SP1 (sample rod standby state). It should be noted that the spacer is only required to be easily attached to and detached from the sample rod R, and even if the spacer SP1 is formed with a thin sandwiching portion G1 to be sandwiched between fingers by the user, the spacer SP2 is formed with a thick sandwiching portion G2. It may be.

本実施形態で採便容器30を用いて夾雑物除去済みの便検体を得るには、まず、第2実施形態と同様にして、便支持容器部12に便検体を入れ、便支持容器部12とフィルター機能付き容器部24とを係合させる。この結果、第2実施形態と同様、フィルター部Fを通過できる所定寸法未満の便検体CFがフィルター部F上に出ている。また、この便検体CFは、撹拌部25pによって捏ねられていることによって均一性が高い。   In order to obtain a stool specimen from which contaminants have been removed using the stool collection container 30 in this embodiment, first, the stool specimen is put into the stool support container part 12 in the same manner as in the second embodiment, and the stool support container part 12 And the container part 24 with a filter function are engaged. As a result, as in the second embodiment, a stool specimen CF having a size less than a predetermined size that can pass through the filter part F is on the filter part F. Further, the stool specimen CF is highly uniform because it is kneaded by the stirring unit 25p.

その後、スペーサSP1を取外し、検体棒Rを上方から押圧する。この結果、検体棒先端部RTが薄膜部Mwを押し破り、フィルター部F上の便検体CF(膜部材Mと便支持容器部12の凹状部11との間に存在している便検体)に検体棒先端部が接触し、検体棒先端部に便検体CFが付着する(検体棒最下端状態)。そして、第2実施形態と同様にして検体棒Rを採便容器30から引き出す。   Thereafter, the spacer SP1 is removed and the specimen bar R is pressed from above. As a result, the specimen rod tip RT breaks through the thin film part Mw, and the stool specimen CF on the filter part F (the stool specimen existing between the membrane member M and the concave part 11 of the stool support container part 12). The tip of the sample rod comes into contact, and the stool sample CF adheres to the tip of the sample rod (the lowest state of the sample rod). Then, the sample rod R is pulled out from the stool collection container 30 in the same manner as in the second embodiment.

ここで、本実施形態では、上記の検体棒待機状態では検体棒先端部RTが薄膜部Mwのすぐ上側に位置し、上記の検体棒最下端状態では検体棒先端部RTがフィルター部Fに到達しない位置となるように、スペーサSP1の寸法が決められている。   Here, in the present embodiment, the sample rod tip RT is positioned immediately above the thin film portion Mw in the sample rod standby state, and the sample rod tip RT reaches the filter unit F in the sample rod lowest end state. The dimension of the spacer SP1 is determined so that the position is not to be.

本実施形態により、第2実施形態で奏される効果に加え、より短時間で効率的に便検査を行うことを可能にできるという効果が奏される。   According to the present embodiment, in addition to the effect exhibited in the second embodiment, an effect that it is possible to efficiently perform a stool examination in a shorter time is exhibited.

また、検体棒先端部RTの形状は、採便に都合の良い形状であればよく、図8に示すように検体棒Rの長手方向に沿った直線状凹部D1が配列された形状でもよいし、図10に示すように螺旋状凹部D2が配列された形状でもよいし、図11に示すように、中心軸まわりに互いに均等な配置位置となるように複数(図11では3つ)の溝部D3が形成されていてもよい。ここで、図11では、各溝部D3を、螺旋溝が検体棒長手方向に沿って配列された例として描いている。   The shape of the sample rod tip RT may be any shape convenient for stool collection, and may be a shape in which linear concave portions D1 along the longitudinal direction of the sample rod R are arranged as shown in FIG. 10 may have a shape in which the spiral concave portions D2 are arranged, or as shown in FIG. 11, a plurality of (three in FIG. 11) groove portions so as to be arranged at equal positions around the central axis. D3 may be formed. Here, in FIG. 11, each groove part D3 is drawn as an example in which the spiral grooves are arranged along the specimen rod longitudinal direction.

なお、検体棒先端部RTをこのような形状にすることにより、検体棒を採便容器30から引き出す際、薄膜部Mwを検体棒先端部で押し破ったことによって形成された薄膜部孔から検体棒先端部を通過させるときに、薄膜部孔の周囲の膜部分が凹部に食い込んで便検体を落とし過ぎてしまうという懸念は解消する。   In addition, by making the sample rod tip RT into such a shape, when the sample rod is pulled out from the stool collection container 30, the sample is removed from the thin film portion hole formed by pushing the thin film portion Mw with the sample rod tip. When passing through the tip of the rod, the concern that the membrane portion around the thin film portion hole bites into the recess and drops the stool specimen too much is eliminated.

[第4実施形態]
次に、第4実施形態を説明する。図12、図13に示すように、本実施形態に係る採便容器40では、第1実施形態に比べ、フィルター機能付き容器部44が便検体用の撹拌部45をフィルター部Fの下側に備えている。本実施形態では、撹拌部45がへら状部45p1、45p2で構成されている。
[Fourth Embodiment]
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, in the stool collection container 40 according to this embodiment, the container section 44 with a filter function places the stirring section 45 for the stool specimen below the filter section F, compared to the first embodiment. I have. In this embodiment, the stirring part 45 is comprised by the spatula-like parts 45p1 and 45p2.

本実施形態で採便容器40を用いて夾雑物除去済みの便検体を得るには、まず、専用のヘラ(図示せず)などを用いて便支持容器部12に便検体を入れる。   In order to obtain a stool specimen from which impurities have been removed using the stool collection container 40 in this embodiment, first, the stool specimen is put into the stool support container part 12 using a dedicated spatula (not shown).

そして、フィルター機能付き容器部44を便支持容器部12に当て、係合方向に回転させることで係合させていく。この回転によって、フィルター機能付き容器部44の中央円筒部(下端部)が凹状部11内へ進入し、フィルター部Fが便検体CNを上方から押圧しつつフィルター部Fが凹状部内を下降するとともに、フィルター部Fと凹状部11との間の便検体CNが撹拌部45の回転によって捏ねられる。   And the container part 44 with a filter function is applied to the feces support container part 12, and it is made to engage by rotating in an engagement direction. By this rotation, the central cylindrical part (lower end part) of the container part 44 with a filter function enters the concave part 11, and the filter part F descends in the concave part while the filter part F presses the stool sample CN from above. The stool specimen CN between the filter part F and the concave part 11 is kneaded by the rotation of the stirring part 45.

この結果、フィルター部Fを通過できない寸法の夾雑物K(図3〜図5参照)は、フィルター部Fの下側に残り、フィルター部Fを通過できる所定寸法未満の便検体CFがフィルター部F上に濾されて出てくる。   As a result, the foreign substance K (see FIGS. 3 to 5) having a size that cannot pass through the filter unit F remains below the filter unit F, and the stool specimen CF that is less than a predetermined size that can pass through the filter unit F is filtered. Comes out filtered.

本実施形態では、第1実施形態で奏される効果に加え、フィルター部F上のこの便検体CFは、第1実施形態で奏される効果に加え、撹拌部45によって捏ねられていることにより均一性が遥かに高いという効果も奏される。また、第2実施形態に比べ、部品点数が少なくて構成要素が簡素であるという効果も奏される。   In the present embodiment, in addition to the effect achieved in the first embodiment, the stool specimen CF on the filter unit F is kneaded by the stirring unit 45 in addition to the effect exhibited in the first embodiment. There is also an effect that the uniformity is much higher. Moreover, compared with 2nd Embodiment, there are also the effects that a component number is small and a component is simple.

[第5実施形態]
次に、第5実施形態を説明する。図14に示すように、本実施形態に係る採便容器50は、第1実施形態に比べ、蓋部材16に代えて、便検体を撹拌する撹拌用ヘラ52が蓋内側から下方へ延び出す蓋部材56を有しており、撹拌用ヘラ52はフィルター機能付き容器部14の中空空間に位置している。そして、蓋部材56が装着されたときにはフィルター部Fの直ぐ上に撹拌用ヘラ52の先端部52t(下端部)が位置するように、撹拌用ヘラ52の寸法が決められている。本実施形態では、先端部52tはくし歯状にされており、また、蓋部材56はフィルター機能付き容器部14の上側に回動可能に係合している。
[Fifth Embodiment]
Next, a fifth embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, the stool collection container 50 according to this embodiment has a lid in which a stirring spatula 52 for stirring a stool specimen extends downward from the inside of the lid, instead of the lid member 16, as compared with the first embodiment. It has the member 56, and the stirring spatula 52 is located in the hollow space of the container part 14 with a filter function. The dimensions of the agitating spatula 52 are determined so that the tip 52t (lower end) of the agitating spatula 52 is positioned immediately above the filter part F when the lid member 56 is attached. In the present embodiment, the tip 52t has a comb-like shape, and the lid member 56 is rotatably engaged with the upper side of the container portion 14 with a filter function.

この構成により、蓋部材56を回動させることにより、フィルター部Fで濾された便検体CFが撹拌用ヘラ52で捏ねられる。従って、第1実施形態で奏される効果に加え、簡単な構成で便検体CFの均一性を一層高くすることができるという優れた効果が奏される。   With this configuration, the stool specimen CF filtered by the filter unit F is kneaded by the stirring spatula 52 by rotating the lid member 56. Therefore, in addition to the effect exhibited in the first embodiment, the excellent effect that the uniformity of the stool specimen CF can be further enhanced with a simple configuration is exhibited.

[第6実施形態]
次に、第6実施形態を説明する。図15、図16に示すように、本実施形態に係る採便容器60は、便検査装置(図示せず)にセットされて自動で便検査を行うための容器である。採便容器60は、第3実施形態に比べ、蓋部材、膜部材、撹拌部の構成が異なっており、これに対応するために、外側容器部23に代えて外側容器部63を備え、内側容器部25に代えて内側容器部65を備えている。また、採便容器60はスペーサや検体棒を備えていない。検体棒は便検査装置が予め多数備えており、採便容器毎に未使用の検体棒を順次使用するようになっている。
[Sixth Embodiment]
Next, a sixth embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, a stool collection container 60 according to the present embodiment is a container that is set in a stool inspection apparatus (not shown) and automatically performs a stool inspection. The stool collection container 60 differs from the third embodiment in the configuration of the lid member, the membrane member, and the agitation unit. In order to cope with this, the stool collection container 60 includes an outer container part 63 instead of the outer container part 23, and an inner side. Instead of the container portion 25, an inner container portion 65 is provided. Further, the stool collection container 60 is not provided with a spacer or a specimen bar. A number of sample bars are provided in advance in the stool inspection apparatus, and unused sample bars are sequentially used for each stool collection container.

本実施形態では、採便容器60を構成する蓋部材26には検体棒挿通用の孔は形成されていない。採便容器60を構成する膜部材Nの中央部では、検体棒先端部によって破られ易いように湾曲凹状部NDが形成されて薄厚になっている。フィルター部Fの中央部では、メッシュは形成されずに平板部材で構成される円盤部FRにされおり、便検体CNはこの円盤部FRでは通過しない。   In the present embodiment, a hole for inserting a specimen rod is not formed in the lid member 26 constituting the stool collection container 60. In the central portion of the membrane member N constituting the stool collection container 60, a curved concave portion ND is formed and thin so as to be easily broken by the tip of the specimen rod. In the central part of the filter part F, a mesh is not formed, but the disk part FR is formed of a flat plate member, and the stool specimen CN does not pass through the disk part FR.

内側容器部65の底板部65bから下方に延び出す撹拌部67pは、へら状部67p1、67p2で構成され、何れも弾性材で構成されている。へら状部67p1、67p2は、内側容器部65の底板部65bから下方かつやや斜め外側へ向けて延び出している。また、へら状部67p1、67p2は、内側容器部65をU方向(図16参照)に回転させたときにへら状部67p1、67p2に当接した便検体に内側容器部65中央側へ移動する力を与えることができる位置に配置されている。   The stirring part 67p extending downward from the bottom plate part 65b of the inner container part 65 is constituted by spatula parts 67p1 and 67p2, both of which are constituted by an elastic material. The spatula portions 67p1 and 67p2 extend downward and slightly obliquely outward from the bottom plate portion 65b of the inner container portion 65. Further, the spatula portions 67p1 and 67p2 move to the center side of the inner container portion 65 when the inner container portion 65 is rotated in the U direction (see FIG. 16) and the stool specimen comes into contact with the spatula portions 67p1 and 67p2. It is placed in a position where force can be applied.

また、本実施形態では、へら状部67p1、67p2は膜部材Nと一体的に形成されており、へら状部67p1、67p2および膜部材Nは何れもシリコンゴムで構成されている。そして、膜部材Nのうちの円盤部FRの上方領域は、へら状部67p1、67p2の通過しない領域(非通過領域)になっている。   In the present embodiment, the spatula portions 67p1 and 67p2 are formed integrally with the membrane member N, and the spatula portions 67p1 and 67p2 and the membrane member N are both made of silicon rubber. And the upper area | region of the disc part FR among the film | membrane members N is an area | region (non-passing area | region) which the spatula-shaped parts 67p1 and 67p2 do not pass.

本実施形態により、便検体CNを収容した採便容器60を便検査装置にセットすると、便検査装置が蓋部材26を取外して自動的に検体棒が降りてきて検体棒先端部が湾曲凹状部NDを突き破る。そして、膜部材Nとフィルター部Fとの間の便検体CFに検体棒先端部が触れ、検体棒先端部に付着した便検体CFを検査することが可能になる。従って、便検査における作業員の負担を大きく減らすとともに高精度の便検査を短時間で効率良く行うことが可能になる。   According to the present embodiment, when the stool collection container 60 containing the stool specimen CN is set in the stool examination apparatus, the stool examination apparatus removes the lid member 26 and the specimen bar automatically descends, and the tip of the specimen bar is a curved concave part. Break through ND. Then, the tip of the specimen rod touches the stool specimen CF between the membrane member N and the filter part F, and the stool specimen CF attached to the tip of the specimen stick can be examined. Therefore, it is possible to greatly reduce the burden on the operator in the stool inspection and to efficiently perform the highly accurate stool inspection in a short time.

また、へら状部67p1、67p2の通過しない領域、すなわち膜部材Nのうちの円盤部FRの上方領域では、便検体が濾しだされない。従って、へら状部67p1、67p2で便検体CFを全体にわたって効率良く捏ねる構成の採便容器60とすることができる。   In the region where the spatula portions 67p1 and 67p2 do not pass, that is, the region above the disc portion FR of the membrane member N, the stool specimen is not filtered out. Therefore, the stool collection container 60 having a configuration in which the stool specimen CF is efficiently kneaded with the spatula portions 67p1 and 67p2 can be obtained.

なお、蓋部材26は、図17に示すように、平面視でリング状の切欠部64を中央部に備えていて、検体棒先端部で押圧(あるいは使用者が指等で押圧)されることで簡単に切欠部64から破断して折れ曲がる(あるいは切欠部64から切断される)蓋中央島部66を有していてもよい。これにより、蓋部材26を回転させて開けるという作業が不要になり、作業時間の短縮化、便検査装置の構造の簡素化、などの優れた効果が得られる。   As shown in FIG. 17, the lid member 26 has a ring-shaped notch 64 in the center in plan view, and is pressed at the tip of the sample rod (or pressed by the user with a finger or the like). The lid central island 66 may be easily broken and bent (or cut from the notch 64). As a result, the operation of rotating and opening the lid member 26 becomes unnecessary, and excellent effects such as shortening of the working time and simplification of the structure of the stool inspection apparatus can be obtained.

[第7実施形態]
次に、第7実施形態を説明する。図18、図19に示すように、本実施形態に係る採便容器80は、第6実施形態に比べ、第3実施形態で説明したスペーサSP1(図8、図9参照)および検体棒Rを備え、蓋部材26に検体棒挿通用の蓋孔部が形成されている例である。
[Seventh Embodiment]
Next, a seventh embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the stool collection container 80 according to this embodiment includes the spacer SP1 (see FIGS. 8 and 9) and the sample bar R described in the third embodiment, compared to the sixth embodiment. This is an example in which a lid hole portion for inserting a specimen rod is formed in the lid member 26.

本実施形態では、便検査装置90で採便容器80内の便検体を検査する。便検査装置90は、検体棒を着脱自在に保持する保持部92と、保持部92を上下動させる駆動機構94(ロードセル)とを備えており、採便容器80に入れられた便検体を検査する構成にされている。   In this embodiment, the stool specimen in the stool collection container 80 is inspected by the stool inspection apparatus 90. The stool inspection apparatus 90 includes a holding unit 92 that detachably holds the sample rod and a drive mechanism 94 (load cell) that moves the holding unit 92 up and down, and tests the stool specimen placed in the stool collection container 80. It is configured to be.

便検査装置90で採便容器80内の便検体を検査するには、作業員がスペーサSP1を引き抜くことで取外し、採便容器80を便検査装置90の所定位置にセットする。なお、セットされた採便容器80のスペーサSP1を便検査装置90が引き抜く構成にしてもよい。   In order to inspect the stool specimen in the stool collection container 80 by the stool inspection apparatus 90, the operator removes the spacer SP1 by pulling out the spacer SP1, and sets the stool collection container 80 at a predetermined position of the stool inspection apparatus 90. Note that the stool inspection apparatus 90 may pull out the spacer SP1 of the set stool collection container 80.

便検査装置90は、駆動機構94により保持部92を下降させて検体棒Rの頭部にまで到達させる。そして、検体棒Rを押し下げることで膜部材Nを押し破り、膜部材Nと凹状部との間に位置する便検体に検体棒先端部RTを付着させる。その際、検体棒Rを90°回転させ、更に、90°反転させて回転前の回転方向位置に戻すことが好ましい。   The stool inspection apparatus 90 lowers the holding portion 92 by the drive mechanism 94 to reach the head of the sample rod R. Then, by pushing down the sample rod R, the membrane member N is pushed through, and the sample rod tip portion RT is attached to the stool sample located between the membrane member N and the concave portion. At that time, it is preferable to rotate the sample rod R by 90 °, and further reverse it by 90 ° to return to the rotation direction position before the rotation.

そして、検体棒Rを上昇させて採便容器80から引き出す。ここで、検体棒Rに付着した便検体量が規定量(例えば50mg)未満であると判定された場合には、採便容器80にもう一度入れて便検体を更に付着させることが好ましい。   Then, the sample rod R is raised and pulled out from the stool collection container 80. Here, when it is determined that the amount of the stool specimen adhering to the sample rod R is less than a prescribed amount (for example, 50 mg), it is preferable that the stool specimen is further put in the stool collection container 80 and further adhered.

その後、希釈工程(便検体の希釈)、試薬添加などの必要な工程を行った後、検査を終了する。   Thereafter, necessary steps such as a dilution step (dilution of a stool specimen) and reagent addition are performed, and then the test is terminated.

本実施形態により、便検査装置90をより簡素な構成にすることが可能になる。また、検体棒Rを上下動させ、便検体CF(図5参照)の付着量が規定量になるまで便検体CFを検体棒先端部に付着させることが可能になり、検査精度を向上させることができる。   According to this embodiment, it is possible to make the stool inspection apparatus 90 have a simpler configuration. In addition, the specimen bar R can be moved up and down to allow the stool specimen CF to adhere to the tip of the specimen bar until the amount of the stool specimen CF (see FIG. 5) reaches a specified amount, thereby improving the test accuracy. Can do.

以上、いくつかの実施形態を説明したが、これらの実施形態は発明の技術的思想を具体化するための例示であって、発明の範囲をそれらに限定することは意図していない。これらの実施形態は、構成部品の材質、形状、構造、配置等、要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で種々変更して実施できる。   Although several embodiments have been described above, these embodiments are exemplifications for embodying the technical idea of the invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
