Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to an auxiliary device for urine testing in nephrology. Background Technology

[0002] In nephrology clinical diagnosis, urine tests are an indispensable basic test. Because urine samples are easily contaminated by bacteria and impurities around the urethral opening, midstream urine can minimize contamination and allow the test results to more accurately reflect the health status of the urinary system. Therefore, midstream urine collection is a key operation to ensure the accuracy of urine tests.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent CN106769233A provides a urine sampler. This device effectively prevents urine from splashing by using an inverted conical outer edge, a funnel, and a urine cup for layered filtration. It is suitable for both men and women and is relatively hygienic. The lower and upper cups of the sampler are connected by a threaded connection, making it easy to disassemble and remove the urine cup, which is more convenient to use. The sealing strip and rubber sealing cap effectively isolate the sample urine from the external environment, preventing contamination and making the test results more accurate.

[0004] However, traditional sampling methods mostly involve personnel moving a container to the collection area during urination to collect midstream urine. This is inconvenient for quickly and automatically collecting midstream urine and sealing the container, resulting in inconvenient collection and potential environmental and skin contamination for the collector. Therefore, a nephrology urine testing auxiliary device is proposed to address these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a nephrology urine testing auxiliary device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art. Most existing urine testing auxiliary collection devices rely on personnel moving the container to the collection area during urination to collect midstream urine, which is inconvenient for quick and automatic collection and container sealing. This results in inconvenient collection and easy contamination of the environment and the collector's skin.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a nephrology urine test auxiliary device, comprising: The mounting frame has a handle and a receiving frame at each end, and a collection hopper is provided on the receiving frame; The mounting components are located within the receiving frame and the collection cup is detachably mounted thereon. The capping mechanism is vertically and retractably mounted on the receiving frame and is equipped with a detachable sealing cap; and A drive motor is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket, and a drive cylinder is mounted on its output shaft. The drive cylinder is connected to the mounting assembly via a first drive mechanism to convert the rotation of the drive cylinder at a first angle into driving the mounting assembly to reciprocate and slide, thereby pushing the collecting cup below the collecting hopper. A second drive mechanism is provided on the drive cylinder to convert the rotation of the drive cylinder at the second angle into driving the capping mechanism to rise and fall.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the collecting hopper is provided with a connecting shell, the bottom of the connecting shell is provided with a urination tube, and the connecting shell is detachably connected to the receiving frame.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting components include: Two sets of mounting arc plates are arranged opposite each other on the receiving frame, and L-shaped frames are provided at both ends of the two sets of mounting arc plates, with the adjacent sets of L-shaped frames interlocking. A first elastic element is disposed between the two sets of L-shaped frames; and Two sets of fastening pads are provided and are respectively located inside the two sets of mounting arc plates, and the collecting cup is located between the two sets of fastening pads.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the capping mechanism includes: A lifting plate is mounted on the receiving frame in a height-adjustable manner. A guide rod is provided at the bottom of the lifting plate. The guide rod is slidably passed through the receiving frame along its axis, and a limit block is provided at the end of the guide rod. A second elastic element is disposed between the lifting plate and the receiving frame; and Multiple sets of snap-fit ​​brackets are arranged circumferentially, and all of them are slidably mounted on the lifting plate. The edge of the sealing cover is snapped into the snap-fit ​​bracket, and a third elastic element is provided between the snap-fit ​​bracket and the lifting plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, both ends of the snap-fit ​​bracket are provided with opposing wedge-shaped teeth, and the upper set of wedge-shaped teeth is longer than the lower set of wedge-shaped teeth.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the first driving mechanism includes: The first sector-shaped frame is fixedly mounted on the drive cylinder, and a scale line is provided on one side of it; The second sector-shaped frame is hinged at one end to the drive cylinder and connected to the drive cylinder via a locking assembly; and A support plate is slidably disposed on one side of the mounting frame and connected to one of the set of mounting arc plates. A fourth elastic element is provided between the support plate and the mounting frame.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the locking component includes: A locking pin is slidably inserted into the drive cylinder along its axis, and a retaining ring is provided at one end of the pin and a toothed disc is provided at the other end. The fifth elastic element has two ends that abut against the retaining ring and the inner end of the drive cylinder, respectively; Multiple sets of slots are provided, all arranged circumferentially on one side of the second sector frame, and the gear plate can be engaged in the slots; and A lever is mounted on the gear disc.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, an arc-shaped protrusion is provided on one side of the second sector frame.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the second drive mechanism includes: A guide frame is disposed on one side of the mounting frame, and a drive frame is slidably disposed thereon. A drive column and a rack are respectively disposed at both ends of the drive frame. An inclined track is provided on the lifting plate, and the drive column is slidably engaged within the inclined track; and An arc-shaped rack is disposed on one side of the second sector frame so as to engage with the straight rack after the arc-shaped convex plate moves to disengage from the support plate.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a control switch electrically connected to the drive motor is provided on one side of the grip.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: During use, the collection cup is installed in the receiving frame via the mounting assembly, and the sealing cap is installed in the capping mechanism. Urine is then discharged into the collection hopper. During urination, the patient can control the drive motor to rotate the drive cylinder. When the drive cylinder rotates at its first angle, the first drive mechanism drives the mounting assembly to slide, precisely pushing the collection cup under the collection hopper. This eliminates the need for manual hand positioning, avoiding the inconvenience of manually adjusting the container's position during urination and ensuring accurate midstream urine collection, thus improving sample validity. The drive cylinder continues to rotate during collection. When it rotates at its second angle, the second drive mechanism drives the capping mechanism to descend, quickly locking the sealing cap onto the collection cup and immediately sealing the sample. This process eliminates the need for manual contact with the urine or collection cup, preventing environmental and skin contamination from the collector. Simultaneously, the handle design enhances the device's stability, and the cooperation between the receiving frame and the collection hopper ensures leak-free urine collection. The overall structure achieves automated connection between midstream urine collection and container sealing, significantly improving operational convenience and hygiene safety.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.

[0021] Example: like Figure 1 , 2As shown, this invention provides a nephrology urine testing auxiliary device, including a mounting frame 1. A handle 2 and a receiving frame 6 are respectively provided at both ends of the mounting frame 1. A collection container 4 is provided on the receiving frame 6. A connecting shell 3 is provided at the bottom of the collection container 4, and a urine discharge tube 5 is provided at the bottom of the connecting shell 3. The connecting shell 3 and the receiving frame 6 are detachably connected. This device allows for urine sampling by holding the handle 2 and moving the collection container 4 to the urination area for urination. Excess urine can be discharged through the urine discharge tube 5. The collection container 4 is for single use, facilitating replacement and avoiding cross-contamination between different patients, which could affect test results.

[0022] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the receiving frame 6 is provided with an installation assembly, and the collection cup 14 is detachably installed in the installation assembly. The installation assembly includes two sets of mounting arc plates 8 arranged opposite to each other on the receiving frame 6. Both ends of the two sets of mounting arc plates 8 are provided with L-shaped frames 12. The two adjacent sets of L-shaped frames 12 are interlocked. A first elastic element 13 is provided between the two sets of L-shaped frames 12. Fastening pads 11 are provided on the inner side of the two sets of mounting arc plates 8. The collection cup 14 is located between the two sets of fastening pads 11.

[0023] The collection cup 14 can be placed between two sets of mounting arc plates 8. Under the action of the first elastic element 13, the two sets of L-shaped frames 12 are controlled to move in opposite directions, thereby controlling the two sets of mounting arc plates 8 to close and clamp the collection cup 14. The arrangement of the fastening pad 11 can prevent the collection cup 14 from falling off. During the sliding process, the mounting arc plate 8 can push the collection cup 14 into the connecting shell 3 and place it directly below the collection hopper 4 for urine collection.

[0024] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the receiving frame 6 is also provided with a pressure cap mechanism. A sealing cap 20 is detachably provided in the pressure cap mechanism. The pressure cap mechanism includes a lifting plate 15 that can be lifted and lowered and is provided on the receiving frame 6. A guide rod 16 is provided at the bottom of the lifting plate 15. The guide rod 16 is slidably passed through the receiving frame 6 along its axis, and a limit block 17 is provided at the end of the guide rod 16. A second elastic member 18 is provided between the lifting plate 15 and the receiving frame 6. Multiple sets of slidable snap-fit ​​brackets 21 are arranged circumferentially on the lifting plate 15. The edge of the sealing cap 20 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​bracket 21. A third elastic member 22 is provided between the snap-fit ​​bracket 21 and the lifting plate 15.

[0025] The sealing cover 20 can be inserted between multiple sets of snap-fit ​​brackets 21 for installation. The sealing cover 20 can be moved by controlling the downward movement of the lifting plate 15. During the downward movement of the lifting plate 15, the third elastic element 22 can be compressed, and the lifting plate 15 can be controlled to reset under the action of the third elastic element 22. Both ends of the snap-fit ​​bracket 21 are provided with opposing wedge-shaped teeth, and the upper set of wedge-shaped teeth is longer than the lower set of wedge-shaped teeth. When the sealing cover 20 moves downward, the lower set of wedge-shaped teeth can push the snap-fit ​​bracket 21 to slide, while the upper set of wedge-shaped teeth does not disengage from the sealing cover 20, thereby applying downward pressure to the sealing cover 20 until the sealing cover 20 is completely fastened to the collection cup 14. Then the lifting plate 15 resets, and after the sealing cover 20 is engaged inside the collection cup 14, the lower set of wedge-shaped teeth can no longer engage with the sealing cover 20, so that the lifting plate 15 disengages from the sealing cover 20 when resetting, thus completing the sealing of the collection cup 14.

[0026] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in this embodiment, a drive motor 26 is provided on the mounting frame 1, and a drive cylinder 27 is provided on the output shaft of the drive motor 26. The drive cylinder 27 is connected to the mounting assembly through a first drive mechanism to convert the rotation of the drive cylinder 27 at a first angle into the reciprocating sliding of the mounting assembly to push the collection cup 14 below the collection hopper 4. The first drive mechanism includes a first sector frame 28 fixedly mounted on the drive cylinder 27, a scale line 29 on one side of the first sector frame 28, a second sector frame 35 hinged to the drive cylinder 27, and the second sector frame 35 connected to the drive cylinder 27 through a locking assembly. A support plate 9 is slidably provided on one side of the mounting frame 1, and the support plate 9 is connected to one of the sets of mounting arc plates 8. A fourth elastic member 10 is provided between the support plate 9 and the mounting frame 1. The locking assembly includes a locking pin 30 that is slidably inserted into the drive cylinder 27. One end of the locking pin 30 is provided with a retaining ring 31, and the other end is provided with a toothed disc 32. A fifth elastic element 33 is provided between the retaining ring 31 and the drive cylinder 27. A number of slots 36 are arranged circumferentially on one side of the second sector frame 35. The toothed disc 32 can be locked in the slots 36. A lever 34 is provided on the toothed disc 32.

[0027] Furthermore, a control switch 39 electrically connected to the drive motor 26 is provided on one side of the handle 2. After urinating for 1-2 seconds, the drive motor 26 can be started by pressing the control switch 39. The drive motor 26 drives the drive cylinder 27 to rotate, so that the first sector frame 28 and the second sector frame 35 rotate. The fan-shaped surface formed by the cooperation of the first sector frame 28 and the second sector frame 35 pushes the support plate 9 to slide, thereby compressing the fourth elastic element 10. This allows the collection cup 14 to move directly below the collection hopper 4 for mid-stage urine collection. During the collection process, the drive cylinder 27 continues to rotate. When the arc end of the fan-shaped surface abuts against the support plate 9, the support plate 9 does not move, thus continuously collecting urine until the fan-shaped surface moves to the side away from the support plate 9. The support plate 9 can then be reset under the action of the fourth elastic element 10, thereby controlling the collection cup 14 to reset for subsequent closing. Furthermore, by pulling the lever 34, the toothed disc 32 can be disengaged from the slot 36, thereby releasing the position lock of the second sector frame 35. During the process of controlling the sliding of the locking pin 30 by pulling the lever 34, the fifth elastic element 33 can be compressed by the retaining ring 31, and then the second sector frame 35 can be rotated to adjust the angle between the second sector frame 35 and the first sector frame 28. The arrangement of the scale line 29 can make the adjustment more precise, so that the time for the collection cup 14 to stay in the collection area can be adjusted according to the patient's urination speed, which is convenient for patients with different urination speeds.

[0028] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, an arc-shaped protrusion 37 is provided on one side of the second sector frame 35, so that when the drive cylinder 27 rotates until the second sector frame 35 is separated from the support plate 9, the movement of the support plate 9 is blocked by the arc-shaped protrusion 37, thereby slowing down the reset process of the support plate 9 and effectively preventing the urine from spilling out due to the excessive reset speed of the collection cup 14.

[0029] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in this embodiment, a second driving mechanism is also provided on the driving cylinder 27. The second driving mechanism converts the rotation of the driving cylinder 27 at the second angle into the lifting and lowering of the pressure cap mechanism. The second driving mechanism includes a guide frame 7 provided on one side of the mounting frame 1. A driving frame 23 is slidably provided on the guide frame 7. A driving column 24 and a straight rack 25 are respectively provided at both ends of the driving frame 23. An inclined rail 19 is provided on the lifting plate 15. The driving column 24 is slidably locked in the inclined rail 19. An arc-shaped rack 38 is provided on one side of the second sector frame 35. The arc-shaped rack 38 engages with the straight rack 25 after the arc-shaped convex plate 37 moves to disengage from the support plate 9.

[0030] It can be understood that when the first sector frame 28 and the second sector frame 35 move and contact the support plate 9, the rotation angle of the drive cylinder 27 is the first angle. After the second sector frame 35 disengages from the support plate 9, when the arc-shaped rack 38 meshes with the straight rack 25, the rotation angle of the drive cylinder 27 is the second angle. When the second sector frame 35 disengages from the support plate 9, the engagement of the arc-shaped rack 38 and the straight rack 25 drives the drive frame 23 to slide on the guide frame 7, causing the drive column 24 to move laterally. During the movement, the drive column 24 can push the lifting plate 15 downward through its engagement with the inclined track 19, thereby performing the closing action. After the arc-shaped rack 38 moves to disengage from the straight rack 25, the second elastic element 18 controls the lifting plate 15 to reset, and simultaneously controls the drive frame 23 to reset, so as to facilitate the removal of the collection cup 14 and subsequent use.

[0031] Specific usage and beneficial effects of the present invention: In use, the collection cup 14 is installed in the receiving frame 6 via the mounting assembly, and the sealing cap 20 is installed in the capping mechanism. Urine is then discharged into the collection hopper 4. During urination, the drive motor 26 is activated to rotate the drive cylinder 27. When the drive cylinder 27 rotates at the first angle, the first drive mechanism drives the mounting assembly to slide, precisely pushing the collection cup 14 under the collection hopper 4. This eliminates the need for manual hand positioning, avoiding the inconvenience of manually adjusting the container position during urination, ensuring accurate timing of midstream urine collection, and improving sample validity. During collection, the drive cylinder 27 continues to rotate. When the drive cylinder 27 rotates at the second angle, the second drive mechanism drives the capping mechanism to descend, causing the sealing cap 20 to quickly snap onto the collection cup 14, immediately sealing the sample. This process eliminates the need for manual contact with urine or the collection cup 14, preventing environmental and skin contamination from the source. Simultaneously, the handle 2 design enhances the stability of the device, and the cooperation between the receiving frame 6 and the collection hopper 4 ensures leak-free urine collection. The overall structure achieves automated connection between midstream urine collection and container sealing, significantly improving operational convenience and hygiene safety.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
