Abstract
The present disclosure provides a collection device capable of collecting a virus or the like effectively. The collection device according to the present disclosure is an autonomous collection device (2) for collecting an object having an analyte and moisture from a floor surface. The autonomous collection device (2) comprises a drying part (18) for drying the object, a suction opening (36) for suctioning the object dried by the drying part, and a dust container (12) for storing the object suctioned from the suction opening.
Claims8
A device, comprising:
- a collection device for collecting an object having an analyte and moisture from a floor surface, the collection device comprising:
- a drying part, wherein the drying part comprises a blower and a dry adsorbent container which is configured to store a dry adsorbent for drying the object, the drying part is configured to dry the object by blowing air into the dry adsorbent container to disperse the dry adsorbent, which has been stored in the dry absorbent container, on the floor surface, and the dry adsorbent dispersed on the floor surface absorbs the moisture to dry the object;
- a suction part for sucking the object and the dry adsorbent, the object having been dried by the drying part, wherein the suction part comprises an electric blower;
- and
- a storage part for storing the object sucked by the suction part, wherein the storage part comprises a dust container;
- and
- a detection instrument for connecting fluidically to the collection device when the collection device moves to a predetermined position, for acquiring the object stored in the storage part, and for detecting the analyte from the acquired object, wherein the detection instrument comprises a transfer pipe connecting to the collection device and a substance detection part for detecting the analyte from the collected object, wherein the substance detection part comprises an image sensor, a light source, and a controller that controls the image sensor and the light source.
