DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0064] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "upper" and "lower", generally refer to the upper and lower parts of the device in actual use or working state, specifically the drawing direction in the accompanying drawings; and "inside" and "outside" refer to the outline of the device.
[0065] Figures 1 to 6 FIG is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the urine collecting device 100 of the present application. Figures 1 to 3 The suction nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2 extends out of the first shell 11. Figures 4 to 6 The suction nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2 is retracted into the first shell 11, and Figures 1 to 3 The posture of the middle housing 1 is different.
[0066] Please compare Figures 1 to 6 The urine collection device 100 includes a housing 1, a urine suction tube 2, and a drive assembly 3. The housing 1 comprises a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 that are rotatably connected. The urine suction tube 2 is disposed within the housing 1 and comprises a suction nozzle end 201 and an output end 202 that are oppositely disposed. The suction nozzle end 201 is disposed on a side of the first housing 11 away from the second housing 12, and the output end 202 is disposed on a side of the second housing 12 away from the first housing 11. The drive assembly 3 is drivingly connected to the suction nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2 and can selectively drive the suction nozzle end 201 to extend or retract into the first housing 11.
[0067] During specific use, the second shell 12 is installed on the toilet, and the first shell 11 extends into the toilet. The first shell 11 can be specifically rotated and adjusted according to the actual shape, specifications or dimensions of the above-mentioned toilet. The urine collecting device 100 of the present application sets the shell 1 as a first shell 11 and a second shell 12 that are rotatably connected, and can adjust the posture of the shell 1 so that the urine collecting device 100 matches multiple models or types of toilets. At the same time, the suction nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2 is driven to extend or retract relative to the first shell 11 by the driving component 3, and can be automatically controlled according to the urine collection signal or urine collection demand. Preferably, the urine collecting device 100 can be used alone or integrated into a urine testing device (or urine testing instrument). When the urine collecting device 100 is used alone, a pump or valve can be configured on the urine suction tube 2 or the urine suction tube 2 can be connected to a negative pressure device to facilitate the control of the urine collection action of the urine suction tube 2. Please refer to the following text for the use of the urine collecting device 100 integrated into a urine testing device, which will not be repeated here.
[0068] Preferably, the urine collection device 100 further includes a drain pipe 4, which is located within the housing 1 and has an inlet end 401 and an outlet end 402 opposite to each other. The outlet end 402 is disposed on a side of the first housing 11 away from the second housing 12, and the inlet end 401 is disposed on a side of the second housing 12 away from the first housing 11. By disposing the drain pipe 4, wastewater or sewage in the urine testing instrument (or urine testing equipment) can be discharged.
[0069] The following will be combined Figures 1 to 6 , the specific implementation of the urine collection device 100 described in this application is introduced in detail.
[0070] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The housing 1 comprises a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 each form a completely enclosed cavity. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are arranged at an angle and are rotatably connected. This arrangement ensures the sealing performance of the housing 1 while improving the adjustability of the housing 1's posture, thereby expanding the applicability of the urine collection device 100.
[0071] More specifically, the posture of the housing 1 refers to the relative angle between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. By adjusting the relative rotation angle between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, the posture of the housing 1 can be adjusted.
[0072] Please compare and refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4, viewed from the side, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 may form a right angle or an obtuse angle. Obviously, by adjusting the relative rotation angle of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12, the posture of the shell 1 can be adjusted.
[0073] Please refer to Figure 1 The first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are respectively rectangular shells, a first docking portion 110 is formed at one end of the first shell 11, and a second docking portion 120 is formed at one end of the second shell 12 facing the first shell 11, wherein the first docking portion 110 and the second docking portion 120 are rotatably connected by means of at least one rotating shaft 130, thereby rotatably connecting the first shell and the second shell.
[0074] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first shell 11 includes a first base 111 and a first upper cover 112 covering the first base 111, and the second shell 12 includes a second base 121 and a second upper cover 122 covering the second base 121. The first docking portion 110 is two first side panels formed outside the end wall of the first base 111 facing the second base 121. The second docking portion 120 is two second side panels formed outside the end wall of the second base 121 facing one end of the first base 111. The two first side panels are inserted between the two second side panels, and each first side panel is in contact with a corresponding second side panel and is rotatably connected via a rotating shaft 130.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 2 To maintain the housing 1 at a target posture (i.e., to maintain the angle between the first and second housings 11, 12 at a target angle corresponding to the target posture), a positioning structure 13 is provided between the first and second housings 11, 12 to limit relative rotation between the two. In other words, the positioning structure 13 can achieve arbitrary angular positioning between the first and second housings 11, 12, ensuring the stability of the housing 1 in various postures. This can meet the urine collection requirements of toilets of different sizes and shapes, and also improve the compatibility of the housing 1 posture with the actual shape of the toilet.
[0076] Please refer to Figure 2 , the positioning structure 13 can be formed between the first docking portion 110 and the second docking portion 120. Please continue to refer to Figure 2Specifically, in this application, the positioning structure 13 is formed between the first side panel and the second side panel. For example, the positioning structure 13 includes a first engaging portion 131 and a second engaging portion 132 that cooperate with each other. The first engaging portion 131 is formed on the surface of the first side panel facing the second side panel, while the second engaging portion 132 is formed on the side of the second side panel facing the second side panel. In a specific implementation, the first engaging portion 131 can be either a slot or a tooth, and the second engaging portion 132 can be the other of the two.
[0077] However, it should be pointed out that the implementation of the positioning structure 13 in the present application is not limited to this. For example, the positioning structure 13 can also be arranged between the rotating shaft 130 and the first docking part 110, and between the rotating shaft 130 and the second docking part 130. For another example, the present application does not limit the specific implementation of the positioning structure 13. In some other embodiments, the rotating shaft 130 can be configured as a damping shaft, and the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can be positioned with the help of the damping shaft. The positioning structure 13 can also be configured as a friction damping structure, and the friction damping of the first docking part 110 and the second docking part 120 or the friction damping between the first docking part 1120 and the second docking part 120 can be used to position at any angle.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 To limit the adjustable range of the housing 1 (or, in other words, the range of the angle between the first and second housings 11, 12), a first limiting structure 141 and a second limiting structure 142 are provided between the first and second housings 11, 12. The first limiting structure 141 limits the rotation angle of the first and second housings 11, 12 in a first rotational direction (counterclockwise), while the second limiting structure 142 limits the rotation angle of the first and second housings 11, 12 in a second rotational direction (clockwise), which is opposite to the first rotational direction. The target angle range is 90-180 degrees.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The first limiting structure 141 includes a first limiting surface 1401 and a second limiting surface 1402. The first limiting surface 1401 is formed by the end surface of the first upper cover 112 facing the second upper cover 122, and the second limiting surface 1402 is formed by the end surface of the second upper cover 122 facing the first upper cover 112. Please continue to refer to Figure 3When the first shell 11 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the second shell 12 rotates. In this embodiment, the first limiting surface 1401 and the second limiting surface 1402 are inclined surfaces with complementary inclination angles.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The second limiting structure 142 includes a third limiting surface 1403 and a fourth limiting surface 1404. The third limiting surface 1403 is the bottom surface of the first upper cover 112, and the fourth limiting surface 1404 is the end surface of the second side plate of the second base 121 facing the first base 111. Specifically in this embodiment, the fourth limiting surface 1404 is the end surface of the second side plate of the second docking portion 120. It should be noted that Figure 3 and Figure 6 This is merely an illustrative embodiment of the first limiting structure 141 and the second limiting structure 142 , and the present application is not limited thereto.
[0081] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 To allow the urine collection tube 2 and the sewage discharge pipe 4 to pass through, a first opening 1001 and a second opening 1002 are formed at one end of the first shell 11 away from the first docking portion 110. Correspondingly, a third opening 1003 and a fourth opening 1004 are formed at the other end of the second shell 12. The first opening 1001 and the third opening 1003 are provided for the urine collection tube 2, while the second opening 1002 and the fourth opening 1004 are provided for the sewage discharge pipe 4. In this embodiment, the first opening 1001 and the second opening 1002 are defined by the first base 11 and the first upper cover 112. Similarly, the third opening 1003 and the fourth opening 1004 can also be formed by the second base 121 and the second upper cover 122.
[0082] It should also be pointed out that, in specific implementation, a person skilled in the art may, based on the actual setting requirements of the urine suction pipe 2 and the sewage discharge pipe 4, respectively open an opening structure or a perforated structure at the opposite ends of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12, and the specific arrangement of the opening structure or the perforated structure will not be repeated here.
[0083] Please refer to Figure 3To support the urine suction pipe 2 passing through the housing 1, the first housing 11 and / or the second housing 12 are provided with a plurality of first mounting portions 101. These first mounting portions 101 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the urine suction pipe 2. Correspondingly, to support the sewage discharge pipe 4 passing through the housing 1, the first housing 11 and / or the second housing 12 are provided with a plurality of second mounting portions 102. These second mounting portions 102 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the urine suction pipe 2.
[0084] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first mounting portion 101 and / or the second mounting portion 102 can be formed by configuring side ribs 105 provided in the housing 1. Specifically, a first mounting groove and / or a second mounting groove open upward are provided at the top of the side ribs 105. The first mounting groove and the second mounting groove are used to accommodate the urine suction pipe 2 and the sewage discharge pipe 4, respectively.
[0085] After assembly is complete, the first and second mounting grooves can be respectively closed by the corresponding first upper cover 112 or second upper cover 122, thereby forming a first channel and a second channel for mounting the urine suction pipe 2 and the sewage discharge pipe 4, respectively, to ensure the installation and positioning of the urine suction pipe 2 and the sewage discharge pipe 4. In other embodiments, corresponding downwardly extending side ribs are formed on the bottom surfaces of the first and second upper covers 112, 122, and downwardly open grooves are formed on these downwardly extending side ribs. These grooves can cooperate with the corresponding first or second mounting grooves to form holes, thereby improving the positioning of the urine suction pipe 2 and the sewage discharge pipe 4.
[0086] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the side ribs 105 are arranged on the first base 111 or the second base 121, and the side ribs 105 extend perpendicular to the extension direction of the urine suction pipe 2 and the sewage discharge pipe 4, and are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the urine suction pipe 2 and the sewage discharge pipe 4.
[0087] The above description of the first mounting portion 101 and the second mounting portion 102 is merely a schematic illustration of the embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that the specific embodiments of the first mounting portion 101 and the second mounting portion 102 in the present application are not limited thereto, and the specific configuration of the first mounting portion 101 or the second mounting portion 102 can be determined based on the pipe diameter, pipe structure, or extension method of the urine suction pipe 2 and the sewage discharge pipe 4, or other installation requirements.
[0088] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5The urine suction tube 2 includes a fixed tube section 21 and a movable tube section 22 that is telescopically and slidably sleeved on the fixed tube section 21. The end of the fixed tube section 21 away from the movable tube section 22 is configured as the output end 202 of the urine suction tube 2, and the end of the movable tube section 22 away from the fixed tube section 21 is configured as the urine suction end 201 of the urine suction tube 2.
[0089] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 The output end 202 of the fixed pipe segment 21 passes through the third opening 1003 of the second housing 12. The other end of the fixed pipe segment 21 is disposed within the first passage and is configured to be sleeved onto the sleeve end of the movable pipe segment 22. In a specific implementation, the fixed pipe segment 21 can be a continuously extending pipe segment or can be composed of multiple sub-pipe segments.
[0090] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 The nozzle end 201 of the movable tube section 22 is disposed at the first opening 1001 of the first housing 11. The other end of the movable tube section 22, opposite the nozzle end 201, is disposed within the first channel and configured as a sleeve end. This sleeve end of the movable tube section 22 sleeves onto the sleeve end of the fixed tube section 21. Furthermore, a dynamic seal is formed between the sleeve end of the movable tube section 22 and the sleeve end of the fixed tube section 21, ensuring the sealing of the entire urine suction tube 2.
[0091] Please compare Figure 2 and Figure 5 The movable tube segment 22 is connected to the drive assembly 3. When the movable tube segment 22 is driven by the drive assembly 3 to extend and slide relative to the fixed tube segment 21, the nozzle end 201 follows the telescopic movement of the movable tube segment 22 and extends or retracts into the first housing 11 through the first opening 1001. In a specific embodiment, a connecting block 221 is formed on the outer wall of the sleeve end of the movable tube segment 22. This connecting block 221 is used to connect the movable tube segment 22 to the drive assembly 3.
[0092] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the movable pipe section 22 is sleeved onto the outer periphery of the fixed pipe section 21. To ensure that the first channel guides and positions the urine suction tube 2, different sections of the first mounting portion 101 at different locations can be configured differently based on the pipe diameters, pipe structures, or extension methods of the fixed and movable pipe sections 22, 21. For example, the dimensions of the first mounting grooves of the side ribs 105 can be adjusted based on the pipe diameters of the fixed and movable pipe sections 22, 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, the dimensions of the first mounting grooves corresponding to the fixed pipe section 21 are smaller than those corresponding to the movable pipe section 22.
[0093] Please refer to further Figure 5 Based on the above configuration, the first mounting portion 101 or side rib 105 at the sleeved end of the fixed pipe segment 21 can be configured as a limiting structure 15 to limit the sliding trajectory of the movable pipe segment 22. In other words, the limiting structure 15 can be configured by the side rib 105 located at the sleeved end of the fixed pipe segment 21. Specifically, at the sleeved end of the fixed pipe segment 21, the inner diameter of the first mounting groove on the corresponding side rib 105 can be reduced, so that the end surface of the side rib 105 can serve as a stop for the movable pipe segment 22.
[0094] In some other embodiments, the movable pipe section 22 is sleeved inside the fixed pipe section 21. In this case, the positioning structure 15 can be a limiting protrusion formed on the outer circumferential surface of the movable pipe section 22. When the nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2 is retracted into the first shell 11, the limiting protrusion abuts against the end surface of the sleeve end of the fixed pipe section 21, and the end surface of the sleeve end of the movable pipe section 22 abuts against the limiting structure 15.
[0095] Please refer to Figure 1 The urine suction pipe 2 further includes a urine suction nozzle 23, which is provided at the nozzle end 201 of the urine suction pipe 2. Specifically, the urine suction nozzle 23 is formed at one end of the movable pipe section 22 away from the fixed pipe section 21.
[0096] In a specific implementation, the urine suction nozzle 23 can be provided separately from the movable pipe section 22, or the urine suction nozzle 23 and the urine suction pipe 2 can also be provided in an integrated manner.
[0097] Please refer to Figure 1 The urine suction tube 2 further includes a sealing member 24, which is sleeved around the outer periphery of the suction nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2. When the urine suction tube 2 is retracted into the first housing 11, the sealing member 24 can seal the first opening 1001 of the first housing 11, thereby improving the sealing performance of the entire housing 1 and preventing contaminants in the toilet or urine collection trough from entering the housing 1.
[0098] Please refer to Figure 2 The sewage pipe 4 is arranged in the shell 1 and includes a relative inlet end 401 and an outlet end 402, wherein the inlet end 401 is used to connect to the urine testing equipment and receive the sewage from the urine testing equipment, and the outlet end 402 is used to discharge the water received by the urine testing equipment in the sewage pipe 4.
[0099] Please refer to Figure 2In this embodiment, the sewage pipe 4 is arranged in the second channel, with the inlet end 401 passing through the fourth outlet 1004 of the second housing 12 and the outlet end 402 extending through the second outlet 1002 of the first housing 11. In practice, the sewage pipe 4 can be an integrated structure formed by a continuous pipe segment, or a split structure formed by splicing multiple sub-pipe segments.
[0100] The specific implementation of the sewage pipe 4 described in this application is not limited thereto. For example, in some embodiments, the sewage pipe 4 can be arranged as a retractable pipe structure, and another set of drive components can be used to selectively drive the outlet end 402 of the sewage pipe 4 to extend or retract into the first housing 11, thereby improving the automation and sealing performance of the urine collection device 100.
[0101] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The drive assembly 3 includes a first drive member (not shown in the drawings) and an elastic element 31. The first drive member is drivingly connected to the movable tube section 22 and is used to selectively drive the suction nozzle end 201 located within the first shell 11 to extend out of the first shell 11. The elastic element 31 is disposed within the first shell 11 and has a fixed end 301 and a telescopic end 302 opposite to each other. The fixed end 301 is connected to the first shell 11, and the telescopic end 302 is connected to the suction nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2 and is used to drive the suction nozzle end located outside the first shell 11 to retract into the first shell 11.
[0102] Thus, the movable tube section 22 can be driven by the first driving member to resist the elastic element 31 and extend out of the first housing 11 through the first opening 1001 relative to the fixed tube section 21, or the movable tube section 22 can be retracted into the first housing 11 under the restoring force of the elastic element 31. The driving assembly 3 can selectively control the extension and retraction of the urine collection end 201 according to urine collection needs, thereby improving the automation level of the urine collection device 100.
[0103] In a specific implementation, the first driving member may be, but is not limited to, a push-pull electromagnet. The first driving member may be arranged inside the first housing 11 and / or the second housing 12 , or may be arranged outside the housing 1 .
[0104] Please refer to further Figure 2 The first base 111 is formed with a fixing portion 103 at one end close to the second base 112. The fixing end 103 of the elastic element 31 is mounted on the fixing portion 103. The telescopic end 301 of the elastic element is fixedly connected to the connecting block 221. Please refer to Figure 5In the natural state of the elastic element 31 , the nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2 is retracted into the first shell 11 .
[0105] Please refer to further Figure 2 The driving assembly 3 may further include a traction member 32. By introducing the traction member 32, the first driving member can be flexibly arranged in the second housing 12 or outside the housing 1, which is conducive to reducing the size of the entire housing 1.
[0106] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 The traction member 32 is located within the first and second housings 11, 12. The first base 111 is further provided with a deflection portion 104, which is located on the side of the fixing portion 103 near the first opening 1001. Therefore, one end of the traction member 32 passes through the side of the second housing 12 away from the first housing 11 and connects to the driving end of the first driving member. The other end of the traction member 32 is located within the first housing 11, then passes around the deflection portion 104 and connects to the telescopic end 312 of the elastic element 31. In a specific implementation, the traction member 32 can be implemented as a traction rope.
[0107] In some embodiments, the urine collection device 100 further includes a urine collection member having a urine collection groove, and the extension direction of the urine collection member is aligned with the extension trend of the inner circumference of the toilet bowl. The urine collection member is mounted on the inner wall of the toilet bowl and is used to collect urine so that the suction nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2 can absorb urine from the urine collection groove, thereby preventing contaminants or foreign objects in the toilet bowl from directly contacting the suction nozzle end 201.
[0108] Furthermore, the urine collection piece is provided with a fixing member, which is mounted on the urine collection piece and used for mounting the urine collection piece on the toilet. In a specific implementation, the fixing member can be a silicone member, so that the urine collection piece can fit tightly against the inner circumference of the toilet. In other embodiments, the fixing member is an angle-adjustable L-shaped bracket, one side of which can be supported on the toilet bowl and the other side is mounted on the urine collection piece.
[0109] Figures 7 to 12 FIG is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of a urine collecting device 100 ′ of the present application. Figures 7 to 9 The suction nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2 extends out of the first shell 11. Figures 10 to 12 The suction nozzle end 201 of the middle urine suction tube 2 is retracted into the first shell 11 .
[0110] By comparison, we can see that Figures 7 to 12 The urine collecting device 100 'and Figures 1 to 6The overall structure of the urine collecting device 100 is roughly the same, and both include a shell 1, a urine suction tube 2, a drive component 3 and a sewage pipe 4. Figures 7 to 12 The urine collecting device 100 ' and Figures 1 to 6 The main differences between the urine collecting device 100 and the urine collecting device 100 in terms of the shell 1, the urine suction tube 2, the drive component 3 and the sewage pipe 4 are introduced.
[0111] and Figures 1 to 6 Compared with the case 1, Figure 7 The main differences of the housing 1 in the embodiment are reflected in the first docking portion 110 ′ and the second docking portion 120 ′, the first opening 1001 ′, the first mounting portion 101 ′ and the second mounting portion 102 ′, and the positioning structure 15 ′.
[0112] Please refer to further Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first docking portion 110' is a first C-shaped groove defined by the first base 111 and the first upper cover 112, open to the inner cavity of the first shell 11. The second docking portion 120' is a second C-shaped groove defined by the second base 121 and the second upper cover 122, open to the inner cavity of the second shell 12. The first C-shaped groove and the second C-shaped groove are rotatably connected by at least one rotating shaft 130', thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12.
[0113] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 , the rotating shaft 130' is a hollow rotating shaft. Based on this embodiment, the hollow rotating shaft 130' can be used to pass through and lay the urine suction tube 2 or the sewage pipe 4. Specifically, along the direction of the rotation centerline, the first docking portion 110' includes two sub-portions spaced apart, and the two sub-portions are respectively located on both sides of the second docking portion 120'. Moreover, each of the sub-portions and the second docking portion 120' are rotatably connected by means of a rotating shaft 130'. In this way, the two rotating shafts 130' are used to pass through the urine suction tube 2 and the sewage pipe 4, respectively. In some other embodiments, the rotating shaft 130 can also be used to lay out other components, and this application does not make any specific limitation on this.
[0114] Furthermore, the positioning structure 13 is formed between the rotating shaft 130' and the first docking portion 110', and between the rotating shaft 130' and the second docking portion 120'. Specifically in this embodiment, the positioning structure 13 includes a first clamping portion 131 and a second clamping portion 132 that cooperate with each other, wherein the first clamping portion 131 is formed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 130', and the second clamping portion 132 is formed on the inner surfaces of the first C-shaped groove and the second C-shaped groove.
[0115] and Figure 2 Compared with the case 1, Figure 7 In the housing 1, the first opening 1001' is provided on the side wall of the first housing 11 at an end away from the second housing 12. Providing the first opening 1001' on the side wall of the first housing 11 can increase the height of the first opening 1001', preventing the first opening 1001' from directly facing the toilet or urine collection piece, thereby preventing contamination.
[0116] Furthermore, to seal the first opening 1001', the first shell 11 may also be provided with a side cover 114. The side cover 114 is configured to cover the first opening 1001' and is movably connected to the side wall 113 where the first opening 1001' is located. With this configuration, the position of the side cover 114 can be adjusted by flipping, uncovering, or rotating the side cover 114, allowing it to selectively close or open the first opening 1001'. This allows the first opening 1001' to be sealed after urine collection is complete, ensuring the sealing of the first shell 11. In a specific implementation, the side cover 114 may be a silicone cover, mounted on the side wall 113 of the first shell 11 via a rotating shaft or hinge.
[0117] Specifically in this application, in addition to the first base 111 and the first upper cover 112 relative to each other, the first shell 11 further includes a plurality of side walls 113 arranged between the first base 111 and the first upper cover 112, and the above-mentioned first opening 1001' is opened at one end of the side wall 113 away from the second shell 12.
[0118] Please refer to Figure 8 The first mounting portion 101' and / or the second mounting portion 102' are implemented in the form of a mounting base 106. The mounting base 106 is flexible in location and can be flexibly adjusted according to the arrangement of the pipeline, especially to meet the arrangement requirements of non-linear pipelines.
[0119] Please refer to Figure 8 The plurality of mounting seats 106 are distributed in the first shell 11 and / or the second shell 12. The bottom of each mounting seat 106 is fixedly mounted on the first base 111 or the second base 121. A through hole is formed on the top of the mounting seat 106, and the through hole is configured as a first mounting groove or a second mounting groove for forming a first channel or a second channel.
[0120] Please refer to Figure 11 The limiting structure 15 ′ is directly formed on the outer wall of the fixed pipe section 21 . Specifically, the limiting structure 15 ′ is formed by an annular protrusion 211 formed on the outer peripheral wall of the fixed pipe section 21 .
[0121] and Figure 2 Compared with the middle suction tube 2, Figure 8The fixed pipe section 21' of the urine suction pipe 2 includes multiple sub-segments, which are sealed and spliced with adapters. This arrangement can better meet the requirements of turning or bending the pipeline. More specifically, some of the adapters can be installed on the rotating shaft 130.
[0122] At the same time, in order to adapt to the change of the opening position of the first opening 1001', the movable tube section 22' is configured as an arc section to ensure the arc motion trajectory of the nozzle end 201 of the movable tube section 22'. Figure 8 and Figure 11 In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the nozzle end 201 of the movable tube section 22 ′ can extend from or retract into the first opening 1001 ′.
[0123] Likewise, in order to adapt to changes in the first opening 1001 ′ and the movable tube section 22 ′, this embodiment further provides an implementation in which the driving assembly 3 includes a rotating member 33 and a second driving member.
[0124] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 11 The rotating member 33 is located within the first housing 11. One end of the rotating member 33 is pivotally connected to the first base 111 of the first housing 11, and the other end of the rotating member 33 is connected to the movable tube section 22 of the urine suction tube 2. Meanwhile, the second driving member is disposed within the first housing 11 and is drivingly connected to the rotating member 33 to drive the nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2 to extend or retract into the first housing.
[0125] In a specific implementation, the second driving component may be a high-precision stepping motor or a motor.
[0126] Based on the same design concept, the present application also provides a urine testing device, which includes the urine collecting device 100 and a urine testing instrument described in the present application.
[0127] In the urine testing device, the urine collecting device 100 is used in conjunction with the urine testing instrument. Specifically, the driving component 3 can be connected to the control system of the urine testing instrument, and the output end 202 of the urine suction tube 2 can be connected to the urine collecting unit of the urine testing instrument. Specific usage process: the urine testing instrument sends a urine collection signal, and the driving component 3 drives the suction nozzle end of the urine suction tube 2 to extend from the first shell 11 into the toilet or urine collecting trough according to the urine collection signal, and then the suction nozzle end 201 of the urine suction tube 2 starts to absorb urine from the toilet or urine collecting trough; after the urine collection is completed, the driving component drives the suction nozzle end of the urine suction tube to retract into the first shell 11.
