[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Example 1, as Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention proposes a mid-section urine sampling device for a urine analyzer, comprising a bracket 1, a urine collecting funnel 2 being fixedly connected to the top wall of the bracket 1, a urinary catheter 3 being fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the bracket 1, one end of the urinary catheter 3 being connected to the urine collecting funnel 2, a sampling assembly 5 being fixedly connected to one side of the bottom wall of the bracket 1, the sampling assembly 5 being close to the other end of the urinary catheter 3, a sampling bucket 4 being fixedly connected to the urinary catheter 3, and the sampling bucket 4 being connected to the sampling assembly 5; The inner wall of the urine collecting funnel 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating impeller 21 , and the top wall of the bracket 1 is fixedly connected to a speed sensor 22 . One end of the rotating impeller 21 rotates through the urine collecting funnel 2 and contacts the speed sensor 22 .

[0018] like Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, a water inlet plate 401 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner circumferential wall of the sampling bucket 4, and a water inlet one-way valve is fixedly connected to the water inlet plate 401, and the flow direction of the water inlet one-way valve is from top to bottom. A movable plate 402 is longitudinally slidably connected to the inner circumferential wall of the sampling bucket 4, and a liquid storage chamber is provided between the movable plate 402 and the water inlet plate 401. A drain one-way valve is fixedly connected to the movable plate 402, and the flow direction of the drain one-way valve is from bottom to top. A spike 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the sampling bucket 4, and the spike 403 is coaxially arranged with the drain one-way valve. The diameters of the drain one-way valve and the water inlet one-way valve are smaller than the urinary catheter 3. When the movable plate 402 drives the drain one-way valve to contact the spike 403, the spike 403 opens the drain one-way valve.

[0019] like Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, an electric telescopic rod 601 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential wall of the sampling barrel 4, and the electric telescopic rod 601 is electrically connected to the speed sensor 22. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 601 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom wall of the movable plate 402. A first piston rod 603 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential wall of the sampling barrel 4, and the initial state of the first piston rod 603 is an extended state. The telescopic end of the first piston rod 603 is fixedly connected to the other side of the bottom wall of the movable plate 402. When the electric telescopic rod 601 drives the movable plate 402 to move, the air in the first piston rod 603 is compressed.

[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the sampling assembly 5 includes a placement plate 501, a guide frame and a second piston rod 507. The side wall of the placement plate 501 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the bracket 1. The guide frame is connected to the placement plate 501. The placement plate 501 is close to the other end of the catheter 3. The second piston rod 507 is connected to the guide frame. The guide frame includes a guide rod 505 and a driving plate 503. The guide rod 505 is symmetrically and longitudinally slidably connected to the placement plate 501. The driving plate 503 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod 505. The base end of the second piston rod 507 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the driving plate 503. The initial state of the second piston rod 507 is a contracted state. In the state, when the air in the first piston rod 603 is compressed, the compressed air enters the second piston rod 507, and a spring 504 is sleeved on the guide rod 505. The two ends of the spring 504 are respectively fixedly connected to the top wall of the placement plate 501 and the bottom wall of the driving plate 503. The telescopic end of the second piston rod 507 is fixedly connected to a baffle 508, and the baffle 508 is close to the other end of the catheter 3. In the initial state of the second piston rod 507, the baffle 508 is coaxially arranged with the catheter 3, and the diameter of the baffle 508 is larger than the diameter of the catheter 3. When the compressed air enters the second piston rod 507, the second piston rod 507 drives the baffle 508 away from the catheter 3.

[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a support plate 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the top wall of the bracket 1 , and a nozzle 24 is fixedly connected to the support plate 23 , and the nozzle 24 faces the rotating impeller 21 .

[0022] The bracket 1 is placed in the bathroom, and the nozzle 24 is connected to the external water pump. The urine sampling cup is placed on the driving plate 503. When urinating, the urine is aligned with the rotation direction of the rotating impeller 21, and the urine flows into the urine receiving funnel 2. The urine passes through the urine receiving funnel 2 and impacts the rotating impeller 21. The speed sensor 22 only detects the speed of the rotating impeller 21 for the first few seconds. When the rotating impeller 21 rotates at a fast speed, the patient's initial urine volume is large and the patient's urine volume is large. When the rotating impeller 21 rotates at a slow speed, the patient's initial urine volume is small and the patient's urine volume is small. The amount of urine is determined based on the flow rate of the patient's initial urine volume. The speed sensor 22 controls the telescopic distance of the electric telescopic rod 601 based on the amount of urine. The electric telescopic rod 601 is started, and the electric telescopic rod 601 drives the movable plate 402 away from the water inlet plate 401, and adjusts the capacity of the liquid storage chamber according to the amount of urine of the patient. Then the electric telescopic rod 601 stops, and the urine passes through the urine collecting funnel 2 through the rotating impeller 21 and enters the urinary catheter 3, and then enters the sampling bucket 4. The urine passes through the water inlet one-way valve on the water inlet plate 401 and enters the liquid storage chamber to collect the front urine. When the front urine in the liquid storage chamber is full, the water inlet one-way valve is closed, and the front urine in the liquid storage chamber cannot flow back. The electric telescopic rod 601 also compresses the first piston rod 603, and the air in the first piston rod 603 is compressed into the second piston rod 507, and the second piston rod 507 drives the baffle 508 to move. The more urine the amount, the longer the distance the second piston rod 507 drives the baffle 508 to move, according to the patient's urine. The distance between the axis of the baffle 508 and the axis of the urinary catheter 3 is adjusted. After the front urine is collected, the middle urine flows into the urine sampling cup through the urinary catheter 3. The urine in the urine sampling cup gradually increases, pushing the driving plate 503 to move, driving the guide rod 505 to move on the placement plate 501, and at the same time compressing the spring 504, driving the plate 503 to push the second piston rod 507 and the baffle 508 to move. When the baffle 508 is coaxially arranged with the urinary catheter 3, since the diameter of the baffle 508 is larger than the diameter of the urinary catheter 3, the baffle 508 blocks the urinary catheter 3, and the urine in the urinary catheter 3 stops flowing into the urine sampling cup. When the distance between the axis of the baffle 508 and the axis of the urinary catheter 3 is longer, more urine is required to flow into the urine sampling cup to drive the baffle 508 to block the urinary catheter 3, so that the collection amount of the middle urine can be adjusted according to the change of urine volume. The urine sampling cup is removed, and at the same time, the external water pump draws disinfectant water into the nozzle 24, and the disinfectant water flows through the nozzle 24 to the rotating impeller 21. The flow rate generated by the water pump far exceeds the flow rate of urine. The speed sensor 22 controls the electric telescopic rod 601 to extend to the limit, and the electric telescopic rod 601 drives the movable plate 402 to approach the spike 403. The spike 403 opens the drainage one-way valve on the movable plate 402 to discharge the urine in the liquid storage chamber. The high-flow water also enters the urinary catheter 3, enters the liquid storage chamber through the water inlet one-way valve on the water inlet plate 401, and is discharged through the drainage one-way valve to clean the sampling bucket 4. Since the diameter of the drainage one-way valve and the water inlet one-way valve is smaller than that of the urinary catheter 3, the disinfectant water also pushes the urine at the tail end of the urinary catheter 3 to be discharged, cleaning the urinary catheter 3, and the disinfectant water stops entering the nozzle 24. The electric telescopic rod 601 is reset and ready for the next sampling.

[0023] The above description of the present invention and its embodiments is non-limiting. The accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by the above, and does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention, without inventive design of a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
