Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical instruments, and in particular to an improved female urine collector. Background Art

[0002] Urine testing is a commonly used auxiliary means for clinical diagnosis of diseases, and the collection of urine containers and specimens is an important link in determining whether the urine test results are reliable. In many hospitals, patients usually use open containers such as open plastic cups to collect urine specimens themselves, which has the following disadvantages:

[0003] ①: Due to the small mouth and volume of the cup, it is inconvenient for patients to collect urine specimens, and they must move away when half of the urine is discharged before urinating. In this way, urine can easily splash onto the hands, which cannot meet the hygiene requirements, and patients cannot urinate at ease. ②: Because the cup is open, impurities are easily mixed into the sample, resulting in contamination of the specimen. ③: Because the cup is small and the patient is in a squatting or lying position when collecting urine, the patient cannot see the amount of urine collected in time, resulting in insufficient sample collection and affecting the accuracy of the test results. ④: Due to the limitations of the physiological structure of the female urinary system, it is easy to leak urine when collecting urine specimens and collecting urine for bedridden patients, which often adds a lot of workload to nursing staff. ⑤: Because the urine collector itself is not only not fully sealed, but also has no odor removal device. When collecting urine, odor will be generated, affecting the air environment in the ward, and will also affect the mood of patients in the entire ward. ⑥: For patients with frequent urination, the workload of medical staff and family members is increased due to repeated collection and pouring of urine. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention proposes an improved female urine collector, and the specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A modified female urine collector, characterized in that it includes a urine collecting cup, a liquid collecting trough arranged in the urine collecting cup, and a temporary fixing group arranged on both sides of the urine collecting cup, the urine collecting cup is funnel-shaped and the open end surface of the urine collecting cup coincides with the female perineum; the temporary fixing group includes a containing groove arranged on both sides of the urine collecting cup, a temporary fixing rod arranged in the containing groove, an adhesive body arranged on the inner side of the temporary fixing rod, and a separation paper arranged on the adhesive body, the inner side of the temporary fixing rod is arc-shaped and is rotatably connected to the urine collecting cup, a closing plate is arranged in the liquid collecting trough, an opening is arranged between the closing plate and the urine collecting cup, the urine collecting cup is provided with a closing sheet passing through the urine collecting cup at the outside of the opening, and a handle is provided on the closing sheet and at the outside of the urine collecting cup.

[0006] In the present invention, when a female patient lies in bed or squats to collect urine specimens, the liquid collecting groove in the urine collecting cup is aligned with the perineum and the open end surface of the urine collecting cup is completely fitted with the perineum. Since the open end surface of the urine collecting cup is in line with the female perineum, urine will not leak from the gap when collecting urine specimens. Then the patient rotates the temporary fixing rod in the accommodating groove twice and tears off the isolation paper on the surface of the adhesive body, and then the inner side of the temporary fixing rod is closely attached to the inner side of the thigh and adhered to the thigh, thereby freeing the hands of the female patient and preventing the female patient from being stained by urine during use.

[0007] Preferably, a urine discharge tube is provided at the top of the urine collecting cup, and a urine discharge trough connected to the liquid collecting trough is provided in the urine discharge tube.

[0008] In the present invention, when the liquid collecting trough in the urine collecting cup has completed collecting urine, the medical staff can tilt the urine collecting cup toward the urination tube, and the urine in the liquid collecting trough will flow into the test tube through the urination trough, thereby avoiding the situation that urine spills when the medical staff pours urine into the test tube, reducing the workload of the medical staff and improving the work efficiency of the medical staff.

[0009] Preferably, a handle is provided on the front side and / or the rear side of the urine collecting cup.

[0010] The present invention provides handles on the front and / or rear sides of the urine collecting cup, so that female patients can hold the handles to deal with emergencies during use. At the same time, the female patients can hold the handles tightly and fix the urine collecting cup with the temporary fixing rod.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the accommodating groove is provided with a curved surface corresponding to the inner side of the temporary fixing rod.

[0012] The present invention provides an arc surface corresponding to the inner side of the temporary fixing rod at the bottom of the accommodating groove, so that when the temporary fixing rod is placed in the accommodating groove, the inner side of the temporary fixing rod can fit tightly with the bottom of the accommodating groove, thereby avoiding the temporary fixing rod from being broken due to extrusion or the like during transportation.

[0013] Preferably, a pull handle is provided on the temporary fixing rod.

[0014] The present invention provides a handle on the temporary fixing rod, so that female patients can easily rotate and pull the temporary fixing rod out of the accommodating groove during use.

[0015] Preferably, the curvature of the inner side of the temporary fixing rod is 45° to 60°.

[0016] In the present invention, the curvature of the inner side of the temporary fixation rod is set to 45° to 60°, so that the inner side of the temporary fixation rod can fit closely with the inner side of the patient's thigh and will not fall off, thereby enhancing the fixation effect.

[0017] Preferably, the outer side of the urine collecting cup is provided with scales.

[0018] The scales provided on the outer side of the urine collecting cup make it easy for medical personnel to know the flow rate of urine in the urine collecting cup at any time, thereby improving the practicality of the present invention.

[0019] Preferably, the urine collecting cup is made of transparent plastic.

[0020] The present invention uses a liquid collecting cup made of transparent plastic, which makes it convenient for medical staff or patients to observe the situation in the urine collecting cup and take corresponding measures in time.

[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] ①: In the present invention, when a female patient collects urine specimens while lying in bed or squatting, or needs to urinate while lying in bed, the collection groove in the urine collection cup is aligned with the perineum and the open end surface of the urine collection cup is completely fitted with the perineum, thereby preventing urine from leaking from the gap and soiling the bed sheet. When the patient rotates the temporary fixing rod in the receiving groove and tears off the isolation paper on the surface of the adhesive body, the inner side of the temporary fixing rod is closely attached to the inner side of the thigh and adhered to the thigh, thereby freeing the patient's hands and preventing them from being soiled by urine.

[0023] ②: Because the collector is large, bedridden patients do not need to pour out the urine immediately after collecting it. They can clean and wash it once the collection tank is full, which reduces the workload of medical staff and family members. In addition, it can also avoid the test results being affected by insufficient sample volume.

[0024] ③: Because the collector is closed, it can prevent the specimen from being contaminated. It can also prevent the generation of odor when collecting urine, which will affect the ward environment and the mood of the patients in the entire ward.

[0025] ④: This invention can directly write the name, gender, age, hospitalization number or outpatient number, collection time, etc. on the collection container to avoid unclear labeling affecting the diagnosis of the patient's disease.

[0026] ⑤: When the patient's proximal urine is excreted, push the sealing piece to block the opening and isolate the proximal urine, midstream urine and posterior urine, so that the patient can accurately collect the proximal urine, midstream urine and posterior urine during the specimen collection process, thereby improving the accuracy of the specimen examination results and improving the accuracy of disease diagnosis.

[0027] ⑥: The invention has a simple structure and is easy to use. It is suitable for patients in different positions and is conducive to bedridden patients collecting urine by themselves when there are no family members or medical staff in the ward. This invention can meet the standardized collection and urination needs of female patients, solve the problems of urine spilling and dirtying the patient's hands and bed sheets, and being unable to get out of bed to urinate, and improve the practicality of the invention.

[0034] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0035] Example

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present invention includes a urine collection cup 1 for collecting retained urine and a liquid collection tank 2 disposed in the urine collection cup 1 and used to contain urine to be tested. The urine collection cup 1 is made of transparent plastic that can be seen through. By using a liquid collection cup made of transparent plastic, it is convenient for medical staff or patients to observe the situation in the urine collection cup 1 and take timely countermeasures. The outer side of the urine collection cup 1 is provided with a scale 7 for displaying the urine capacity in the liquid collection tank 2, which is convenient for medical staff to understand the flow rate of urine in the urine collection cup 1 at any time, thereby improving the convenience and practicality of the present invention.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 The urine collecting cup 1 is funnel-shaped and the open end face of the urine collecting cup 1 coincides with the female perineum. Since the open end face of the urine collecting cup 1 coincides with the female perineum, urine will not leak from the gap and stain the patient's hands and other body parts when collecting urine specimens. A temporary fixing group 3 for temporarily fixing the urine collecting cup 1 is provided on both sides of the urine collecting cup 1. The temporary fixing group 3 includes a receiving groove 31 provided on both sides of the urine collecting cup 1 and a temporary fixing rod 32 provided in the receiving groove 31 and used for temporarily fixing the urine collecting cup 1. The inner side of the temporary fixing rod 32 is arc-shaped and is rotatably connected to the urine collecting cup 1. An adhesive body 33 for gluing the temporary fixing rod 32 to the inner side of the patient's thigh is provided on the inner side of the temporary fixing rod 32, and an isolation paper 34 for isolating the adhesive body 33 when idle is provided on the adhesive body 33.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 5The curvature of the inner side of the temporary fixing rod 32 is 45° to 60°. In the present invention, the curvature of the inner side of the temporary fixing rod 32 is set to 45° to 60°, so that the inner side of the temporary fixing rod 32 can fit closely with the inner side of the patient's thigh and will not fall off, thereby enhancing the fixation effect. A pull handle 6 is provided on the temporary fixing rod 32, so that female patients can easily rotate and pull the temporary fixing rod 32 out of the receiving groove 31 during use. The bottom of the receiving groove 31 is provided with an arc surface 311 corresponding to the inner side of the temporary fixing rod 32. The present invention provides an arc surface 311 corresponding to the inner side of the temporary fixing rod 32 at the bottom of the receiving groove 31, so that when the temporary fixing rod 32 is placed in the receiving groove 31, the inner side of the temporary fixing rod 32 can fit closely with the bottom of the receiving groove 31, thereby avoiding the temporary fixing rod 32 from being broken due to extrusion and other reasons during transportation. When a female patient is lying in bed or squatting to collect urine specimens, the liquid collecting groove 2 in the urine collecting cup 1 is aligned with the perineum and the open end surface of the urine collecting cup 1 is completely fitted with the perineum. Since the open end surface of the urine collecting cup 1 is in line with the female perineum, urine will not leak from the gap when collecting urine specimens. Then the patient rotates the temporary fixing rod 32 in the accommodating groove 31 twice in different directions and tears off the isolation paper 34 on the surface of the adhesive body 33, and then makes the inner side of the temporary fixing rod 32 close to the inner side of the thigh and adheres to the thigh, thereby freeing the hands of the female patient and preventing the female patient from being stained by urine during use.

[0039] A closing plate 8 is provided in the liquid collecting tank 2, and the closing plate 8 is inclined so that all the front urine flows into the lower end of the liquid collecting tank 2. An opening 81 is provided between the closing plate 8 and the urine collecting cup 1. The urine collecting cup 1 is provided with a closing piece 82 passing through the urine collecting cup 1 on the outside of the opening, and a handle 83 is provided on the closing piece 82 and on the outside of the urine collecting cup 1. When the patient's front urine is excreted, the closing piece 82 is pushed to block the opening 81 and isolate the front urine and the middle urine, so that the patient can separate the front urine and the middle urine during the collection process, avoid the collected urine from being contaminated, and collect the middle urine separately and accurately test it.

[0040] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2, the urine collecting cup 1 is provided with a handle 5 on the front side and / or the rear side. The present invention provides the handle 5 on the front side and / or the rear side of the urine collecting cup 1, so that female patients can hold the handle 5 to deal with emergencies during use. At the same time, the female patient can hold the handle 5 tightly and fix the urine collecting cup 1 with the temporary fixing rod 32. The top of the urine collecting cup 1 is provided with a urination tube 4 for discharging urine in the liquid collecting tank 2 into a test tube. The urination tube 4 is provided with a urination trough 41 connected with the liquid collecting tank 2. When the liquid collecting tank 2 in the urine collecting cup 1 completes the collection of urine, the medical staff tilts the urine collecting cup 1 toward the urination tube 4, and the urine in the liquid collecting tank 2 flows into the test tube through the urination trough 41, so as to avoid the situation that urine spills when the medical staff pours urine into the test tube, thereby reducing the workload of the medical staff and improving the work efficiency of the medical staff.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 5 In the present invention, when a female patient is lying in bed or squatting to collect a urine specimen, the liquid collecting tank 2 in the urine collecting cup 1 is aligned with the perineum and the open end face of the urine collecting cup 1 is completely fitted with the perineum. Since the open end face of the urine collecting cup 1 is in line with the female perineum, urine will not leak from the gap when collecting a urine specimen. Then the patient rotates the temporary fixing rod 32 in the accommodating groove 31 and tears off the isolation paper 34 on the surface of the adhesive body 33, and then makes the inner side of the temporary fixing rod 32 close to the inner side of the thigh and adheres to the thigh, freeing the hands of the female patient and preventing the female patient from being soiled by urine during use. The present invention has a simple structure and is easy to use, can fully meet the urine collection needs of female patients, solves the problem of urine spilling and soiling the patient's hands, and improves the practicality of the present invention.
