Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0041] The following is combined with Figures 1-6 The present invention describes a urine collection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is particularly suitable for large livestock.
[0042] like Figure 1As shown, the urine collection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a filter connector 10, a wide-mouth collection bottle 20, an adjusting rod 30, and a collection bottle 40.
[0043] Specifically, the filter connector 10 is provided with a first cylindrical hole 101 and a second cylindrical hole 102. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the wide-mouth receiving bottle 20 has a third cylindrical hole 201, which connects to the first cylindrical hole 101 of the filter connector 10. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting part 202 of the wide-mouth receiving bottle 20 is connected to the adjusting rod 30. The filter connector 10 includes a spherical plug 103, which is disposed within the filter connector 10 and has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the spherical plug 103 blocks the first cylindrical hole 101 (e.g., ...). Figure 3 , Figure 4 (As shown) To prevent the collected urine from flowing back and leaking, the first cylindrical hole 101 is opened in the second state (as shown). Figure 2 (As shown) to collect urine.
[0044] The filter connector 10 has a spherical plug 103 inside, which plays an important role in blocking or opening the first cylindrical hole 101 of the filter connector 10. The third cylindrical hole 201 of the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 is tightly connected to the first cylindrical hole 101 of the filter connector 10. In this way, when collecting livestock urine, the urine first enters the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 through the large port, and then enters the filter connector 10 through the third cylindrical hole 201. During this process, the filter connector 10 can effectively filter the collected urine.
[0045] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the connecting part 202 of the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 is connected to the adjusting rod 30. This design ensures a sufficient safe distance between the person and the animal when the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 is aimed at a specific part of the animal during urine collection, by flexibly adjusting the length of the adjusting rod 30. Furthermore, this design better adapts to different sampling scenarios and various channel requirements. This significantly reduces the stress experienced by animals when facing sampling personnel, making the entire sampling process smoother and more stable. Especially for large livestock, it avoids the safety hazard of workers being attacked during urine collection. After use, the adjusting rod 30 can be retracted by adjusting it. During retraction, certain conditions are met to reduce the space occupied, thus achieving portability.
[0046] It is particularly important to note that, to prevent leakage of collected urine and avoid external contamination when urine collection is completed or when livestock are active, a spherical plug 103 is installed inside the filter connector 10. When the urine collection device 100 is in the upright position, the spherical plug 103 will fall completely into the first cylindrical hole 101, and the spherical plug 103 will fit tightly against the first cylindrical hole 101, thereby achieving an effective sealing effect.
[0047] When urine collection is required, simply adjust the length of the adjusting rod 30 to ensure a safe distance between the person and the animal. Then, bring the large end of the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 into contact with the specific part of the animal. At this point, the animal's urine will smoothly enter the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 through the large end, and then flow from the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 into the filter connector 10. During this process, the spherical plug 103 inside the filter connector 10 falls down to automatically open the first cylindrical hole 101, allowing the urine to enter the filter connector 10 without obstruction.
[0048] The spherical plug 103 is movably housed within the filter connector 10, meaning that under normal conditions, the spherical plug 103 is in a relatively flexible state within the filter connector 10. Once the spherical plug 103 is tightly fitted with the first cylindrical hole 101, it effectively prevents urine from leaking out through the first cylindrical hole 101 during shaking, ensuring that urine is safely retained inside the urine collection device 100. This improves the stability and reliability of the urine collection device 100 in actual use and reduces urine loss caused by livestock movement.
[0049] According to the urine collection device 100 of this utility model embodiment, by connecting the third cylindrical hole 201 of the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 to the first cylindrical hole 101 of the filter connector 10, the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 and the filter connector 10 are connected together. This allows urine to first enter the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 and then enter the filter connector 10 for filtration. The connecting part 202 of the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 is connected to the adjusting rod 30, so that the adjusting rod 30 and the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 are connected together. This allows the length of the adjusting rod 30 to be adjusted to ensure a safe distance between people and livestock, adapting to different sampling scenarios.
[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the first cylindrical hole 101 and the third cylindrical hole 201 are connected, the first cylindrical hole 101 and the third cylindrical hole 201 are coaxially arranged, and the first cylindrical hole 101 is entirely located within the third cylindrical hole 201 along the axial direction.
[0051] The first cylindrical hole 101 and the third cylindrical hole 201 are coaxially arranged, with the first cylindrical hole 101 entirely located within the third cylindrical hole 201 along the axial direction. This design ensures a tight connection between the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 and the filter connector 10, making the connection more stable and secure, preventing urine leakage. This design also improves urine filtration efficiency, ensuring smooth flow of urine from the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 into the filter connector 10, avoiding blockages and other problems, thereby improving filtration efficiency. This connection method helps improve the structural stability of the entire device, making it more reliable during use.
[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer diameter of the first cylindrical hole 101 is smaller than the inner diameter of the third cylindrical hole 201.
[0053] In order to ensure that the first cylindrical hole 101 of the filter connector 10 can be tightly connected with the third cylindrical hole 201 of the wide-mouth collection bottle 20, and to ensure that the collected urine can smoothly enter the filter connector 10 through the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 for filtration, the outer diameter of the first cylindrical hole 101 is designed to be smaller than the inner diameter of the third cylindrical hole 201. This will enable proper installation and urine filtration.
[0054] Furthermore, an external thread is provided on the outer periphery of the first cylindrical hole 101, while an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the third cylindrical hole 201. The first cylindrical hole 101 with the external thread is inserted into the third cylindrical hole 201 with the internal thread, thus achieving a complete fit between the two holes, and further enabling the filter connector 10 to engage with the wide-mouth collection bottle 20. Disassembly is easily achieved by simply rotating the external or internal thread. Therefore, this design not only facilitates disassembly and provides great convenience for users, but also makes the entire device easy to clean, suitable for various carrying scenarios, and effectively extends the service life of the urine collection device 100.
[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the wide-mouth liquid receiving bottle 20 is configured as a frustum-shaped wide-mouth liquid receiving bottle 20, with one end flared to receive urine and the other end flared to connect to the filter connector 10. A sealing element is provided between the inner walls of the first cylindrical hole 101 and the third cylindrical hole 201 to prevent liquid from leaking from the connection part.
[0056] The wide-mouth collection bottle 20 is specially designed with a frustum shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, primarily for the efficient collection of animal urine. This unique frustum shape and large opening are designed to significantly increase the urine collection area, thereby improving collection efficiency and greatly reducing the risk of urine splashing or leakage.
[0057] Furthermore, a seal is carefully designed between the inner walls of the first cylindrical orifice 101 and the third cylindrical orifice 201 to prevent liquid leakage from the connection point, thereby further ensuring the airtightness of the collection process. This design ensures the tightness and stability of the connection between the first cylindrical orifice 101 and the third cylindrical orifice 201. The frustum-shaped wide-mouth collection bottle 20 is well-suited to various usage scenarios and diverse needs. Its shape demonstrates excellent adaptability in both confined spaces and complex environments, providing reliable flexibility for animal urine collection.
[0058] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting part 202 is located on the outer periphery of the wide-mouth liquid receiving bottle 20. The connecting part 202 is configured as a protrusion. The adjusting rod 30 has a cylindrical groove 3031. When the protrusion and the cylindrical groove 3031 are connected, the protrusion and the cylindrical groove 3031 are coaxially arranged, and the axial direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the wide-mouth liquid receiving bottle 20. The protrusion is inserted into the cylindrical groove 3031 along the axial direction and cooperates with the cylindrical groove 3031.
[0059] To ensure that the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 can make precise contact with specific parts of the livestock in a safe and secure manner, thereby facilitating urine collection, a connecting part 202 is provided on the outer periphery of the wide-mouth collection bottle 20. This connecting part 202 is configured as a protruding post, and correspondingly, a cylindrical groove 3031 is formed on the adjusting rod 30. When the protruding post and the cylindrical groove 3031 are connected, they are coaxially aligned, thus achieving a tight and seamless connection. Furthermore, the protruding post can smoothly insert into the cylindrical groove 3031 along the axial direction, engaging with it. This design ensures that the protruding post and groove do not shift during engagement, effectively achieving high structural stability.
[0060] An external thread is provided on the outer periphery of the protruding post, while an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the cylindrical groove 3031. By engaging the externally threaded protruding post with the internally threaded cylindrical groove 3031, a stable installation of the wide-mouth liquid receiving bottle 20 and the adjusting rod 30 is achieved.
[0061] This threaded design has two main advantages. First, it makes disassembly extremely simple and easy. When cleaning, maintaining, or replacing parts of the urine collection device 100 is required, the user can easily separate the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 from the adjusting rod 30, facilitating individual cleaning of each component and ensuring the urine collection device 100 remains in good hygienic condition. Second, this threaded connection makes the urine collection device 100 suitable for various carrying scenarios. Whether it requires compact storage for transportation or quick assembly on-site, it can easily handle the situation, greatly improving the portability and adaptability of the urine collection device 100. Furthermore, the ease of disassembly and cleaning allows for the timely removal of dirt and impurities from the urine collection device 100, reducing the risk of component damage due to long-term use and thus extending the service life of the urine collection device 100.
[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer diameter of the protruding post is smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical groove 3031.
[0063] In order to connect the adjusting rod 30 more tightly to the wide-mouth receiving bottle 20, and also to facilitate disassembly, cleaning and replacement, the outer diameter of the protrusion is smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical groove 3031.
[0064] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, when the liquid collection bottle 40 is connected to the end of the filter connector 10 away from the wide-mouth liquid receiving bottle 20, the liquid collection bottle 40 and the wide-mouth liquid receiving bottle 20 are coaxially arranged, and the fourth cylindrical hole 401 of the liquid collection bottle 40 is entirely located within the second cylindrical hole 102 of the filter connector 10.
[0065] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the fourth cylindrical hole 401 of the collection bottle 40 is provided with external threads, while the inner wall of the second cylindrical hole 102 of the filter connector 10 (i.e. the end of the filter connector 10 away from the wide-mouth collection bottle 20) is provided with internal threads. By connecting the second cylindrical hole 102 with internal threads to the fourth cylindrical hole 401 with external threads, the collection bottle 40 and the filter connector 10 are securely installed.
[0066] This threaded connection method serves two purposes. First, it ensures a tighter connection between the collection bottle 40 and the filter connector 10, effectively preventing leakage during urine collection and transportation and guaranteeing the integrity of the urine sample. Second, the threaded connection facilitates disassembly. When cleaning, replacing, or transferring the collected urine sample, the collection bottle 40 can be easily removed from the filter connector 10, making the operation simple and quick. Furthermore, the detachable collection bottle 40 allows for sample aliquoting and freezing for different purposes, enabling one-to-one replacement and effectively preventing cross-contamination between samples, thus ensuring the independence and accuracy of each sample.
[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer diameter of the fourth cylindrical hole 401 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second cylindrical hole 102.
[0068] In order to achieve a stable installation of the fourth cylindrical hole 401 and the second cylindrical hole 102, the outer diameter of the fourth cylindrical hole 401 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second cylindrical hole 102, so as to further achieve a stable installation of the collection bottle 40 and the filter connector 10, thereby ensuring that urine does not leak and external pollutants do not enter.
[0069] The filter connector 10 contains not only a spherical plug 103 but also a screen 104, which plays a crucial role. It effectively filters out dirt that falls from the animal's body or is caused by tail movements, thus preventing sample contamination.
[0070] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second cylindrical hole 102 is provided with a screen 104, the aperture of the screen 104 being 0.106mm≤d≤0.2mm.
[0071] While ensuring the filtration of contaminants, the liquid flow rate is also maintained. Therefore, the sieve aperture is within the range of 0.106mm≤d≤0.2mm, which can effectively block contaminants on the surface of livestock, such as hair, dander, and small particulate impurities, ensuring that the urine sample entering is relatively pure and improving the reliability of the test results.
[0072] The screen mesh is made of stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion resistance, resisting the erosion of urine and chemicals that may be encountered under different environmental conditions. This makes the screen mesh less prone to damage during long-term use, maintaining stable filtration performance, extending the service life of the entire urine collection device by 100%, reducing the cost and workload of frequent component replacements, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the device in long-term use, and improving the cost-effectiveness of the device.
[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the adjusting rod 30 includes: a support rod 301, a first telescopic rod 302, and a second telescopic rod 303; the support rod 301 and the first telescopic rod 302 are hollow rods, the first telescopic rod 302 is slidably connected in the support rod 301; the second telescopic rod 303 is slidably connected in the first telescopic rod 302; and a cylindrical groove 3031 is provided in the second telescopic rod 303.
[0074] The first telescopic rod 302 is slidably connected within the support rod 301. This design allows the operator to precisely adjust the length of the first telescopic rod 302 according to actual needs. When dealing with livestock of different sizes and different collection environments, changing the extension length of the first telescopic rod 302 allows the entire collection device to better adapt to various situations. For example, when the livestock is large and standing at a high position, extending the first telescopic rod 302 can raise the collection device to a predetermined height for better contact with specific parts of the livestock for urine collection; conversely, when the livestock is small or standing at a low position, shortening the first telescopic rod 302 ensures accurate alignment of the collection device and makes operation more convenient.
[0075] The second telescopic rod 303 is slidably connected within the first telescopic rod 302, further increasing the precision of length adjustment. Its main purpose is to ensure a safe distance is always maintained between the operator and the livestock. During urine collection, livestock may exhibit sudden movements due to stimulation, such as kicking or shaking. If the operator is too close, they are easily injured. By adjusting the length of the second telescopic rod 303, the operator remains outside the safe zone regardless of the livestock's movements, effectively reducing operational risks and improving work safety.
[0076] A cylindrical groove 3031 is located on the second telescopic rod 303, designed to cooperate with the protrusion on the wide-mouth collection bottle 20. When the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 needs to be in contact with a specific part of the livestock for urine collection, the protrusion is threaded into the cylindrical groove 3031. This not only achieves a stable connection between the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 and the adjusting rod 30, but also allows for further adjustment of the distance between the operator and the livestock during the connection process. The operator can fine-tune the relative positions of the two during the threaded connection according to the actual situation, thereby ensuring that the wide-mouth collection bottle 20 accurately contacts the specific part of the livestock while maintaining the safest distance. This multi-level adjustment mechanism ensures that the entire urine collection device 100 guarantees collection efficiency while protecting the operator's safety, improving the practicality and reliability of the device, and making it suitable for various complex livestock urine collection scenarios.
[0077] It should be noted that the support rod 301 and the first and second telescopic rods 303 are all stainless steel rods with a length of 1m, which can adapt to various distance scenarios and avoid corrosion.
[0078] The wide-mouth collection bottle 20 is made of plastic and has a diameter of 20cm, which can effectively improve sampling efficiency.
[0079] The spherical plug 103 can be disassembled according to the range of animal activity and liquid flow rate to improve sampling speed.
[0080] The 40 collection bottle is a 100ml PE plastic bottle to meet the corrosion prevention needs of adding weak acid to some samples, and is equipped with an inner and outer cap of the same material to avoid sample loss due to gas generated by urine on the top cap.
[0081] In addition, it should be noted that although the sealing components are not explicitly labeled in the accompanying drawings of this utility model, those skilled in the art can understand their specific structure and connection relationship based on the textual description and overall technical solution in the specification. The existence and function of these components do not affect the understanding and implementation of the technical solution of this utility model.
