Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of urinary catheterization technology, and in particular to a urinary catheterization device that records urine volume using infrared scanning. Background Technology
[0002] A urinary catheter is a medical device used to help patients expel urine. It works by inserting a catheter into the patient's bladder to guide urine out of the body. With technological advancements, modern urinary catheters have integrated more intelligent and user-friendly design elements. One important function is recording the amount of urine expelled by the patient over a certain period of time, which helps medical staff to assess the patient's condition based on the data.
[0003] Chinese patent CN213099746U provides a urinary catheter with an alert function and urine volume recording capability, comprising a urinary catheter, a pressure alarm, a flow meter, and a urinary bag; the urinary catheter includes an inner catheter, a balloon tube with a balloon connector, a balloon, and a pressure measuring connector; the inner catheter and the balloon tube are not interconnected; the pressure measuring connector is connected to the pressure alarm; the pressure alarm includes a pressure sensing device, a pressure display device, and a pressure alarm device; when the device is in operation, it can automatically record the patient's urine volume data in a timely manner, saving manual recording time, and has a bladder pressure sensing alarm function.
[0004] Although the aforementioned patent can achieve the effect of automatically recording patients' urine output data, most of its detection components are located on the urinary catheter. To avoid contamination and cross-infection, the urinary catheter is mostly disposable, resulting in a high cost in actual use.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need to design a catheterization device that uses infrared scanning to record urine volume and is suitable for disposable catheters. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where most detection components are located on the urinary catheter, and where the catheter is mostly disposable to avoid contamination and cross-infection, resulting in high costs in actual use, the technical problem to be solved is to provide a urinary catheterization device that records urine volume using infrared scanning.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is: a urine catheterization device for recording urine volume by infrared scanning, comprising: a urine catheter and a urine storage bag, one end of the urine catheter being connected to the urine storage bag; an outlet tube, the bottom of the urine storage bag having an outlet tube with a cross valve in the middle; a first covering shell and a second covering shell, the outside of the urine storage bag having a protective shell formed by splicing the first covering shell and the second covering shell together; an elastic ring, the outside of the first covering shell and the second covering shell having an elastic ring; an infrared scanner, the middle of the outer side of the second covering shell having an infrared scanner electrically connected to an external processor; and a suction assembly, the middle of the first covering shell having a suction assembly for suction.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes: a fixing seat, with fixing seats provided on the upper part of both sides of the outer side of the first covering shell; a rotating ring, with a rotating ring rotatably provided between the two fixing seats on the outer side of the first covering shell; and a mounting seat, with a mounting seat rotatably provided in the middle of the outer side of the rotating ring.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a sealing ring, with a sealing ring provided at the position where the second covering shell contacts the urine storage bag.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes: a shaping plate, wherein a shaping plate is provided in the middle of the inner side of the first covering shell, and a cavity is formed between the shaping plate and the first covering shell.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes: counterweights, with counterweights threadedly provided at the bottom of both the first and second covering shells.
[0012] Furthermore, the urinary catheter is connected to the urine storage bag via a tapered connector.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention automatically records urine flow by scanning the liquid surface with infrared light. The recording interval and time can be adjusted arbitrarily. The data is then transmitted to an external processor for data summarization and organization. When changing the urine storage bag, the first and second covers are released by controlling the elastic ring, and then the scanner is removed from the urine storage bag and installed on a new urine storage bag. This makes it convenient to install the infrared scanner onto the disposable catheter, and urine will not contaminate the first and second covers, thus saving medical costs.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a urine catheterization device for recording urine volume by infrared scanning, specifically including a urine catheter 1, a urine storage bag 2, a liquid outlet tube 3, a first covering shell 4, a second covering shell 5, an elastic ring 6, an infrared scanner 8, and an air extraction component 9.
[0022] Among them, the end of the urinary catheter 1 away from the patient's body is connected to the cylindrical urine storage bag 2. The bottom of the urine storage bag 2 is provided with an outlet tube 3. The connection end of the outlet tube 3 and the urine storage bag 2 is provided with a cross valve, which is used to display the stored urine and facilitate the control of the discharge of urine from the urine storage bag 2.
[0023] The urine storage bag 2 is provided with a protective shell formed by splicing the first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell 5 on the outside. The second covering shell 5 has round holes at the top and bottom. The catheter 1 and the outlet tube 3 pass through the round holes at the top and bottom of the second covering shell 5 respectively. The first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell 5 have elastic rings 6 at the upper and lower ends on the outside, which are used to shape and protect the urine storage bag 2 and fix the infrared scanner 8 relative to the urine storage bag 2.
[0024] The second covering shell 5 has a vertically oriented infrared scanner 8 in the middle for scanning the urine storage bag 2. The infrared scanner 8 is electrically connected to an external processor and is used to scan the liquid level inside the urine storage bag 2.
[0025] The first covering shell 4 has an air extraction component 9 in the middle for extracting air from the inside of the protective shell formed by splicing the first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell 5 together. This component is used to ensure that the urine storage bag 2 fits tightly with the first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell, fixes the shape of the urine storage bag 2, and prevents the urine storage bag 2 from deforming and affecting the liquid level scanning effect.
[0026] For example, in use, the staff places the urine collection bag 2 into the protective shell formed by the first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell 5, and uses the elastic ring 6 to fix the first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell 5. Then, the suction component 9 is activated, and the suction component 9 evacuates air from the protective shell formed by the first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell 5. The air pressure inside the protective shell decreases, and the urine collection bag 2 gradually fills the inside of the first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell 5. Then, the end of the catheter 1 away from the urine collection bag 2 is inserted into the patient's body. After placement, the first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell 5, along with the urine collection bag 2, are horizontally placed in a position that will not affect the patient's movement. Initially, the discharge tube 3 is in a closed state. After activation, the infrared scanner 8 scans and detects the liquid level inside the urine collection bag 2 using infrared light. The system automatically records urine flow, with adjustable recording intervals. The data is then transmitted to an external processor for analysis and processing, facilitating medical staff's assessment. Once the urine collection bag 2 has collected a certain amount, the urine is drained by opening the outlet tube 3. When the patient needs a new catheter 1 or no longer requires catheter 1, staff can remove the elastic ring 6 from the first cover shell 4 and the second cover shell 5, then separate the first cover shell 4 and the second cover shell 5 from the urine collection bag 2. The first cover shell 4 and the second cover shell 5 can then be reinstalled onto the new urine collection bag 2 according to the above installation method. This facilitates the installation of the infrared scanner 8 onto the disposable catheter 1, and prevents urine from contaminating the first cover shell 4 and the second cover shell 5, thus saving medical costs. Example
[0027] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, it further includes a fixed seat 10, a rotating ring 11, and a mounting seat 12. Fixed seats 10 are provided on the upper part of the contact positions between the outer sides of the first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell 5. A rotating ring 11 is rotatably provided between the two fixed seats 10 on the outer side of the first covering shell 4. A mounting seat 12 is rotatably provided on the middle of the outer side of the rotating ring 11.
[0028] When fixing the urine bag 2, the staff uses the mounting base 12 to fix the first cover 4 and the second cover 5 to the urine bag 2 in a suitable position. The rotating ring 11 is rotatably connected to the second cover 5 through the fixing base 10, and the rotating ring 11 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 12. The fixing base 10 is located on the upper part of the second cover 5. When the first cover 4 and the second cover 5 are not subjected to external force, the cooperation of the fixing base 10, the rotating ring 11 and the mounting base 12 can ensure that the first cover 4 and the second cover 5 always remain horizontal under the action of gravity. This eliminates the need for medical staff to select or adjust the installation position, making it convenient to fix the urine bag 2 and ensure that the urine bag 2 is horizontal.
[0029] like Figure 2As shown, based on Embodiment 1, a sealing ring 7 is also included. The sealing ring 7 is provided at the position where the second covering shell 5 contacts the top and bottom of the urine storage bag 2.
[0030] The sealing ring 7 between the second covering shell 5 and the urine storage bag 2 can ensure the sealing effect between the urine storage bag 2 and the second covering shell 5, and ensure that the air extraction component 9 can effectively extract air from the inside of the protective shell formed by the first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell when it is running.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, it further includes a shaping plate 13. The inner middle part of the first covering shell 4 is provided with a shaping plate 13 with air holes evenly spaced on the surface, and a cavity is formed between the shaping plate 13 and the first covering shell 4.
[0032] The shaping plate 13 inside the first covering shell 4 can block and limit the shape and position of the urine storage bag 2, so as to prevent the urine storage bag 2 from blocking the air extraction port of the air extraction component 9 when the air extraction component 9 is extracting air, thus affecting the air extraction effect.
[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, it further includes a counterweight 14. The first covering shell 4 and the second covering shell 5 are both threadedly provided with a counterweight 14 at the middle position of their bottoms.
[0034] The counterweight 14 allows staff to easily adjust the weight on both sides of the protective shell formed by the first and second coverings, ensuring that the weight on both sides is consistent. During use, the urine storage bag 2 remains horizontal to avoid affecting the test data.
[0035] The urinary catheter 1 is connected to the urine storage bag 2 via a tapered connector.
[0036] The tapered connector facilitates the insertion and removal of the urinary catheter 1 and the urine storage bag 2, making operation and handling easier.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
