[0014] In one exemplary embodiment, the cleaning component is also connected to a urine collection component for collecting urine to provide urine to the liquid transport component; the cleaning component is configured to provide at least one of a cleaning agent, a cleaning water, and a cleaning mixture to the urine collection component and the liquid transport component under the control of the control device.

[0015] In one exemplary embodiment, a valve is also included, which is connected to the urine collection component, the cleaning component, and the liquid transport component, respectively.

[0016] This application provides a urine testing system, including the urine collection unit and control device described in any of the above embodiments.

[0055] In one exemplary embodiment, a cleaning component is further included in communication with the liquid transport component, the cleaning component being configured to communicate with at least one of a detergent supply component, a cleaning water supply component, and a cleaning mixture supply component, to be able to supply at least one of detergent, cleaning water, and cleaning mixture to the liquid transport component.

[0056] The cleaning mixture can be a mixture of detergent and cleaning water. It can also be other liquid mixtures used for cleaning, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0058] In one exemplary embodiment, a valve is also included, which is connected to the urine collection component, the cleaning component, and the liquid transport component, respectively.

[0059] The valve can be a four-way valve.

[0225] The following example of a urine collection unit illustrates the cleaning method for the urine collection unit in this application.

[0226] Figure 12 Another urine collection unit according to an embodiment of this application includes a cleaning solution box 1, a first connecting pipe 2 connecting the cleaning solution box 1 to a first pump 3, a first pump 3, a second connecting pipe 4 connecting the first pump 3 to a four-way valve 5, a second pump 6, a third connecting pipe 7 connecting an external urine collection device (not shown) to the four-way valve 5, a fourth connecting pipe 8 connecting the second pump 6 to a urine collection bottle 12, a fifth connecting pipe 9 connecting the second pump 6 to the four-way valve 5, a sixth connecting pipe 10 connected to the urine collection bottle 12, an adapter 11, a liquid level sensor 13, a seventh connecting pipe 14 connecting the urine collection bottle 12 to a third pump 15, an eighth connecting pipe 16 connecting the third pump 15 to a drip needle 19, a water inlet solenoid valve 17, a ninth connecting pipe 19 or 22 (19 and 22 are connected via adapter 11) connecting the water inlet solenoid valve 17 to the four-way valve 5, a waste liquid cup 20, and a tenth connecting pipe 21 connected to the waste liquid cup.

[0227] The urine collection unit of this application embodiment can perform urine collection function, first emptying function, first cleaning function, second emptying function, second cleaning function, and third emptying function.

[0228] The urine collection process includes a first step and a second step.

[0229] Step 1: Collect the urine into urine collection bottle 12;

[0230] In the first step, the second pump 6 (which can be a peristaltic pump) is activated to draw human urine. The urine is drawn by the second pump 6 through the external urine collection device. The urine flows along the connecting tube to the adapter 11, and then through the third connecting tube 7 to the second pump 6. The second pump 6 delivers the drawn urine to the urine collection bottle 12, pressurizes it, and the liquid level sensor 13 detects whether the urine volume has been reached. The sixth connecting tube 10 is used to remove excess urine and vent air.

[0231] Step 2: Infuse urine into the drip needle 19;

[0232] In the second step, the third pump 15 draws human urine from the urine collection bottle 12 and delivers it to the drip needle 19 to complete the human urine collection.

[0233] The first emptying function includes: activating the second pump 6 to drain the urine from the pipeline. The second pump draws out excess urine from the urine collection bottle 12, air enters the sixth connecting pipe 10, urine is drawn into the second pump and transported to the four-way valve 5, and discharged through the four-way valve 5 to the adapter 11, until it is discharged into the external urine collection device or waste liquid pool, completing the pipeline emptying and proceeding to the next step, the first cleaning function.

[0234] The first cleaning function includes: The first pump 2 starts, drawing cleaning fluid from the cleaning fluid tank into the four-way valve 5, and the cleaning fluid is discharged in two paths. First path: The cleaning fluid enters the third connecting pipe 7 and is discharged to the external urine collection device or waste liquid pool, thereby cleaning the urine collection device and pipeline. Second path: The second pump starts, drawing cleaning fluid from the four-way valve 5 into the urine collection bottle 12 for cleaning the urine collection bottle 12. Excess cleaning fluid is discharged to the waste liquid pool through the sixth connecting pipe 10. Then, the third pump 15 draws cleaning fluid from the urine collection bottle 12 into the drip needle 19 to complete the first cleaning function.

[0235] The second emptying function is executed in the same way as the first emptying function.

[0236] The second cleaning function includes: opening the inlet solenoid valve 17 to allow cleaning water to enter the four-way valve 5, and then discharging the cleaning water in two ways. First, the cleaning water enters the third connecting pipe 7 and is discharged to the urine collection device or waste liquid tank, thereby cleaning the urine collection device and its piping. Second, the second pump starts, drawing the cleaning water from the four-way valve 5 into the urine collection bottle 12 for cleaning. Excess cleaning water is discharged to the waste liquid tank through the sixth connecting pipe 10. Then, the third pump 15 draws the cleaning water from the urine collection bottle 12 into the drip needle 19 to complete the second cleaning function.

[0237] The third emptying function is executed in the same way as the first emptying function.

[0238] The urine collection unit of this application embodiment transports the collected urine to the collection bottle via a second pump or similar device located upstream of the collection bottle. When the urine transport stops, no liquid or gas continues to be pumped into the collection bottle due to pressure difference. This reduces the amount of air mixed into the collected urine, improving the purity of the collected urine and the accuracy of urine detection.
