[0002] Urine sample analysis is one of the three major routine clinical examinations and is of great value in the diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases. However, compared to adults, urine collection from infants and young children presents certain difficulties. This is because infants and young children urinate at irregular times, urinate frequently but produce small amounts of urine. Currently used urine sample collectors are not suitable for infants and young children. In addition, infants and young children are not suitable for invasive urine collection. The current common method for collecting urine from infants and young children is to tape the opening of a plastic bag to the infant's perineum. When the infant urinates, the urine flows into the plastic bag, which is then removed to complete the urine collection. However, this method has the following drawbacks: 1. Infants and young children can be fidgety and uncooperative with medical staff, and the plastic bag can easily fall off, resulting in failure to collect urine samples and wasting medical staff's time. 2. Infants and young children's skin, especially the perineum, is sensitive and delicate, and the area where the plastic bag is taped can easily cause skin allergies.

[0003] In addition, some male infants and young children need to soak their genitals during treatment, and there is currently a lack of effective products on the market. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, embodiment 1 discloses a multifunctional infant urine collection and genital protection device, comprising a diaper component 1, a container cup 2, a genital shield 3 and a hole blocking cover 4. The lower portion of the front side of the diaper component 1 is provided with a first mounting hole 1a and a second mounting hole 1b. The first mounting hole 1a is located at the top and corresponds to the genital area of ​​a male infant, and the second mounting hole 1b is located at the bottom and corresponds to the genital area of ​​a female infant. The outer sides of the first mounting hole 1a and the second mounting hole 1b are both provided with an external threaded joint 5; the container cup 2, the genital shield 3 and the hole blocking cover 4 are provided with a first mounting hole 1a and a second mounting hole 1b. The genital shield 3 and the hole plugging cover 4 are both provided with an internal threaded interface that matches the external threaded joint 5, and the container cup 2, the genital shield 3 and the hole plugging cover 4 can be replaced with each other; a water barrier 6 is provided in the container cup 2, and the inner cavity space of the container cup 2 is divided into an upper cavity 7 and a lower cavity 8 by the water barrier 6. A backflow prevention valve 9 is installed in the center of the water barrier 6 to prevent liquid from flowing in one direction from the upper cavity 7 to the lower cavity 8; the genital shield 3 is a three-dimensional bulging hollow structure, and the hole plugging cover 4 is used to seal the first mounting hole 1a and the second mounting hole 1b in an empty state.

[0025] During specific use, the diaper component 1 is worn on the infant in a conventional manner. When the infant needs to collect urine, taking the male infant as an example, the second mounting hole 1b is blocked with a hole blocking cover 4, and the container cup 2 is installed at the first mounting hole 1a. The internal thread interface of the container cup 2 is sealed and connected with the external thread joint 5 at the first mounting hole 1a. The male infant's genitals are placed in the upper cavity 7 of the container cup 2. When the infant urinates, it is directly discharged into the upper cavity 7 of the container cup 2. The positive pressure of the infant's urination will push the anti-backflow valve 9 to open, and at least part of the urine enters the lower cavity 8 of the container cup 2. The remaining urine that fails to enter the lower cavity 8 will be absorbed by the diaper component 1, and the urine sample that enters the lower cavity 8 of the container cup 2 will be retained in the lower cavity 8. In this way, after multiple urinations, enough urine samples for detection will be collected in the container cup 2, which is very convenient to use. When the container cup 2 is needed, the first mounting hole 1a can be replaced with a hole-blocking cap 4 to block it. If the infant's genitals need protection after surgery, the three-dimensional, hollowed-out genital shield 3 can be installed to protect the infant's genitals from friction, preventing secondary injury or infection. It should be noted that the dimensions of the first mounting hole 1a and the second mounting hole 1b in the figure are exaggerated relative to the size of the diaper to more clearly illustrate the container cup 2, genital shield 3, and hole-blocking cap 4. In actual use, the dimensions of the container cup 2, genital shield 3, and hole-blocking cap 4 are smaller and will not cause discomfort to infants.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment 1, the water barrier 6 is a plastic funnel. This structure is suitable for use with male infants because the plastic funnel has a certain degree of hardness and can maintain its shape. The male infant's genitals face forward, and when they urinate, the urine will be ejected directly towards the bottom of the plastic funnel, allowing more urine to enter the lower chamber 8 of the container cup 2, facilitating the collection of urine samples.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment 1, the container cup 2 includes an upper cup body 2.1 and a lower cup body 2.2, which are threadedly connected. The outer edge of the plastic funnel is sealed and clamped between the upper cup body 2.1 and the lower cup body 2.2. This arrangement allows the plastic funnel to be removed when the male infant's genitals need to be immersed in the container cup 2.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a soft silicone ring 10 is disposed within the first mounting hole 1a for fitting over the male infant's genitals. This arrangement allows the soft silicone ring 10 to be placed over the male infant's genitals to straighten the genitals, making both urine specimen collection and genital immersion therapy more convenient.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the anti-backflow valve 9 is a micro duckbill valve. The duckbill valve is not only simple in structure and low in cost, but also has very little opening resistance, which is convenient for efficient collection of urine specimens.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the surface of the container cup 2 is provided with a scale. Such a setting makes it easy to observe the amount of liquid in the container cup 2.

[0031] In addition, the bottom of the container cup 2 is preferably provided with an interface for connecting a pipeline. This arrangement allows for urine specimen collection, and once the required amount is reached, the specimen can be removed through the pipeline without removing the container cup 2. During genital immersion therapy, medical disinfectant or other liquid immersion medications can also be introduced into the container cup 2 through the pipeline, facilitating operation.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, Example 2 discloses a multifunctional infant urine collection and genital protection device, which differs from Example 1 in that the installation position of the container cup 2 is different and the structure of the water barrier 6 in the container cup 2 is different.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment 2, the container cup 2 is installed at the second installation hole 1b, and the first installation hole 1a is blocked with a hole blocking cover 4, which makes it easier for female infants to collect urine specimens.

[0035] In addition, if Figure 6 As shown, the water barrier 6 in this embodiment 2 is a soft film pocket. This structure is suitable for female infants and young children because female genitals are located lower and urination is scattered. The soft film pocket is very soft, which can reduce splashing and better collect urine samples. In addition, the soft film pocket will naturally fall under the gravity of the backflow prevention valve 9, allowing urine to flow by gravity to the backflow prevention valve 9 and then into the lower chamber 8 of the container cup 2, making it more convenient for female infants and young children to collect urine samples.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the above specific embodiment is not intended to limit the present invention. Various variations and modifications are possible within the technical scope of the present invention. Any modifications, alterations, or equivalent substitutions made by a person skilled in the art based on the above description are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
