Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a 24-hour urine collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Patients in the endocrinology department with diabetes, gout, electrolyte imbalance, or hypertension of unknown origin often require 24-hour urine samples for testing during their hospitalization. The results of 24-hour urine tests not only aid in disease diagnosis and predict disease progression but also provide a basis for treatment plans. The accuracy of 24-hour urine test results is also affected by the final sample submitted for testing, making it crucial to improve the accuracy of 24-hour urine sample collection. Clinically, the commonly used 24-hour urine collectors are devices with lids. However, these devices have two drawbacks: firstly, there are no intuitive graduations for observation, requiring nurses to repeatedly pour urine into a measuring cup to observe the total volume. This operation is prone to urine splashing, contaminating the surrounding environment, and is time-consuming, increasing the workload for nurses. Secondly, the small lid of the collection device makes it inconvenient for patients to pour urine, increasing the risk of leakage and leading to inaccurate urine volume, affecting test results, and even prolonging the patient's hospital stay. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a 24-hour urine collection device.

[0004] This utility model is implemented using the following method: a 24-hour urine collection device, comprising a cylindrical barrel, a detachable barrel lid at the upper opening of the barrel, a protruding spout at the top edge of the barrel, a downward-protruding liquid-blocking ring on the outer periphery of the barrel lid, the outer diameter of the liquid-blocking ring matching the inner diameter of the top of the barrel, a notch at one point of the liquid-blocking ring that can be aligned and communicated with the spout, and an observation window on the barrel with scale lines from bottom to top.

[0005] Preferably, it also includes lifting rings, and two lifting ring holes are symmetrically provided on the side of the barrel, with each end of the lifting ring connected to one of the lifting ring holes.

[0006] Preferably, the barrel body is provided with a handle at a position away from the observation window and the lifting ring hole.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting ring is provided at the top of the outer peripheral surface of the liquid-blocking ring, and the outer diameter of the limiting ring is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the upper opening of the barrel.

[0008] Preferably, the lower edge of the spout is at a height higher than the lower edge of the liquid-blocking ring.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the lid has an upwardly protruding knob at its center.

[0010] Preferably, the upper surface of the bucket lid is provided with several raised ribs surrounding the lid button array.

[0011] Preferably, an indicator arrow is provided on the upper surface of the bucket lid at a position opposite to the notch.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a 24-hour urine collection device. Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following technical effects: 1. The bucket has an observation window with clear scale lines, making it convenient to observe the total amount of urine during collection. The bucket is cylindrical, providing good stability and preventing tipping. The bucket lid opens completely and has a spout for tipping, allowing for a larger opening to facilitate urine filling. The spout prevents excessive spillage due to the large opening. When the notch of the spout and the lid's liquid-blocking ring overlaps, the liquid inside the bucket can flow back out, preventing splashing during urine collection. Furthermore, the flow rate can be adjusted by rotating the lid to regulate the overlap between the notch and the spout, facilitating control of the collection volume to meet sampling requirements.

[0013] 2. The handles and hanging rings are ergonomically designed. When dispensing the urine container, the container is lightweight and can be picked up with the handles. When filled with urine, the container becomes heavy and can be picked up with the hanging rings. This facilitates the sampling operation for medical staff and reduces the risk of contamination of medical staff with bodily fluids.

[0014] 3. A limiting ring is provided on the top outer edge of the barrel lid to facilitate the positioning of the barrel lid on the top of the barrel body and to make it easy for the barrel lid to be aligned with the notch after rotation.

[0015] 4. Multiple ribs are provided on the upper surface of the lid to facilitate the operation of rotating the lid.

[0016] 5. An indicator arrow is provided on the upper surface of the lid to make it easy to align the notch with the spout when rotating the lid. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A 24-hour urine collection device includes a cylindrical barrel 1, with a detachable lid 2 at the upper opening of the barrel 1. The top edge of the barrel 1 has a protruding spout 11, and the outer periphery of the lid 2 has a downwardly protruding liquid-blocking ring 21. The outer diameter of the liquid-blocking ring 21 matches the inner diameter of the top of the barrel 1. One of the liquid-blocking rings 21 has a notch 22 that can be aligned and communicated with the spout 11. The barrel 1 has an observation window 12 with scale lines from bottom to top. The container 1 has an observation window 12 with clearly marked graduations, facilitating observation of the total urine volume during collection. Its cylindrical shape ensures stability and prevents tipping. The lid 2 opens fully and features a spout 11 for tipping, allowing for a larger opening to easily collect urine. The spout 11 prevents excessive spillage due to the large opening. When the spout 11 and the notch 22 of the lid 2's liquid-blocking ring 21 align, the liquid inside the container 1 can flow back out, minimizing splashing during collection. Furthermore, the flow rate can be adjusted by rotating the lid 2 to regulate the alignment of the notch 22 and the spout 11, allowing for precise control of the collection volume to meet sampling requirements. Alternatively, the container 1 can be made of transparent material.

[0023] Preferably, the device also includes a hanging ring 3. Two hanging ring holes are symmetrically provided on the side of the bucket body 1, and each end of the hanging ring 3 is connected to one of the hanging ring holes. A handle 4 is provided on the bucket body 1, away from the observation window 12 and the hanging ring holes. The handle 4 and the hanging ring 3 are ergonomically designed; when dispensing the urine bucket, the lightweight body can be easily lifted using the handle 4, while when filled with urine, the bulky body can be lifted using the hanging ring 3. This facilitates sampling operations for medical personnel and reduces the risk of contamination by bodily fluids.

[0024] Preferably, a limiting ring 23 is provided at the top of the outer peripheral surface of the liquid-blocking ring 21, and the outer diameter of the limiting ring 23 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the upper opening of the barrel body 1. Of course, a limiting ring 23 can also be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the top inside the barrel body 1.

[0025] Preferably, the lower edge of the spout 11 is at a height higher than the lower edge of the liquid-blocking ring 21. This facilitates the positioning of the lid 2 on the top of the bucket body 1, and makes it easy for the lid 2 to align with the notch 22 after rotation.

[0026] Preferably, the upper surface of the bucket lid 2 has an upwardly protruding knob 24 at its center, which facilitates the removal of the bucket lid 2.

[0027] Preferably, the upper surface of the lid 2 is provided with several raised ribs 25 arranged around the lid knob 24. This facilitates the operation of rotating the lid 2. Of course, it can also be recessed, and is not limited to this.

[0028] Preferably, an indicator arrow 26 is provided on the upper surface of the lid 2 at a position opposite to the notch 22. This facilitates aligning the notch 22 with the spout 11 when rotating the lid 2.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] With the lid 2 open, the patient can directly discharge urine into the container 1. After discharge, the lid 2 is closed. The patient and medical staff can check the urine volume through the scale on the observation window 12. When a urine sample needs to be collected, the lid 2 can be rotated so that the notch 22 of the lid 2 aligns with the spout 11 (so that the indicator arrow 26 points to the spout 11). The urine can then be poured out of the container. As needed, the rotation angle of the lid 2 can be finely adjusted by grasping the reinforcing bar 25 with your fingers, which can finely adjust the alignment of the notch 22 and the spout 11, thereby adjusting the flow rate of urine.
