Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of auxiliary devices for routine urine tests in the laboratory, specifically to a device for urine testing in patients with kidney disease. Background Technology

[0002] Urinalysis is an important medical examination. As an excretory test, urine reflects the body's metabolic status and is an important indicator for the diagnosis of many diseases, especially kidney diseases. Examination of urine composition, clarity, uric acid, red blood cells, white blood cells, and other appearance or composition of urine can greatly reflect the health status of the kidneys. For some patients with kidney disease, it is not only necessary to perform a single urine composition test, but also to collect and test the patient's urine over 24 hours.

[0003] However, for patients who need to have their urine collected within 24 hours for specimen collection and testing, there are many existing urine collection devices that collect urine from patients within 24 hours and then perform sampling and measurement. However, the existing sampling devices have the following problems:

[0004] 1. In order to ensure the quick and convenient collection of patients' urine, the urine collection device is usually placed directly in the ward or the patient's home. However, the urine collection device of the existing technology has poor sealing, and the urine odor is easy to spread into the ward or home, causing pollution to the treatment environment.

[0005] 2. Existing urine collection devices collect urine from patients within 24 hours, mix it, and then sample it. However, patients urinate multiple times within 24 hours, and the test results obtained by mixing and testing multiple urine samples are an average value. Within this range, it is impossible to separate and observe the urine from the time when the patient's kidney disease is most severe, which may lead to an inability to accurately determine the actual condition of the kidney disease when assessing the condition.

[0006] 3. Furthermore, existing urine collection devices are only suitable for use by a single gender, meaning that the collection devices for men and women are designed separately and cannot be used by both genders.

[0007] Therefore, this invention discloses a device for urine testing in patients with kidney disease, which is suitable for both men and women and can comprehensively collect and separate urine within 24 hours. It can test single urine samples or mix urine samples within 24 hours for testing, and ensures the device is sealed to prevent urine odor from escaping and contaminating the treatment environment. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a device for urine testing of patients with kidney disease, comprising: a toilet seat, a separation mechanism, and a mixing mechanism;

[0009] The toilet seat, separation mechanism, and mixing mechanism are connected in sequence in an upper, middle, and lower arrangement. The toilet seat receives urine, which is then separated and stored separately by the separation mechanism. The separately stored urine can then be discharged into the mixing mechanism for mixing and sampling.

[0010] The toilet seat is hinged to the toilet lid at the rear end, a pressure sensor is installed on the toilet seat, and a conduit is installed at the lower end of the toilet seat to connect to the separation mechanism.

[0011] The separation mechanism includes a receiving base, separation buckets, a motor, a belt, a support plate, and a sealing plate. The receiving base is a C-shaped plate with symmetrical square grooves on both sides for mounting baffles, several separation buckets arranged in an array at the lower end, and a support plate at the upper end. A sliding groove is formed at the upper end of the support plate, with a stepper motor mounted on one side and a bracket on the other. Several through holes are formed at the lower end of the sliding groove corresponding to the top of each separation bucket, and a torsion spring is installed on the support plate wall below the through holes to connect to the sealing plate. A belt is mounted on the upper end of the stepper motor and the upper end of the bracket. A guide belt is provided on the belt. The tubing consists of a rigid tube connected to the lower end of a toilet seat at its upper end and an electromagnet ring in the middle. An elastic band connects the lower end of the electromagnet ring to the spinal canal. The spinal canal is fitted around the outer end of the electromagnet ring. A pressure sensor detects the patient's urination, controls a motor to rotate one revolution, moves the rigid tubing from a hole directly above a separation bucket to a hole directly above an adjacent separation bucket, and energizes the electromagnet to attract the upper end of the spinal canal to adhere to the electromagnet ring. A push rod pushes open the sealing plate, collecting the urine from a single urination into a separate separation bucket.

[0012] Furthermore, the separation tank is a transparent separation tank with scale lines on the wall and a three-way valve at the lower end of the separation tank; one outlet pipe of the three-way valve extends into the mixing mechanism and a normally closed solenoid valve is installed at the end of the outlet pipe extending into the mixing mechanism, and the other outlet pipe extends out of the dispensing mechanism and a faucet valve is installed at the end of the outlet pipe extending out of the dispensing mechanism.

[0013] An electromagnetic stirring mechanism is installed inside the separation tank.

[0014] Furthermore, the mixing mechanism includes a mixing chamber; a stirring mechanism is installed inside the mixing chamber, and a faucet valve is installed at the lower end of the mixing chamber;

[0015] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided on the toilet seat, so that when the toilet seat is fastened to the toilet seat, the sealing ring fits against the toilet seat and seals the toilet seat.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0017] This invention discloses a device for urine testing in patients with kidney disease, comprising: a toilet seat, a separation mechanism, and a mixing mechanism. In actual use, the patient opens the toilet lid and sits on the toilet seat. A pressure sensor detects the patient urinating, controls the motor to rotate one revolution, moves the rigid catheter from a through hole directly above one separation bucket to a through hole directly above an adjacent separation bucket, and controls the electromagnet to be energized to attract the upper end of the spinal canal to adhere to the electromagnet ring. The lower end of the push rod pushes open the sealing plate, collecting the urine from a single urination into a separate separation bucket. After urination, the patient stands up, the electromagnet ring is de-energized, the spinal canal is reset by the elastic band, and the sealing plate seals the separation bucket under the action of the torsion spring. Then the toilet lid is closed, completely sealing and collecting the urine. This solves the problem in the prior art where the urine collection device has poor sealing performance, and the urine odor can easily escape into the ward or home, causing pollution to the treatment environment.

[0018] Within 24 hours, the patient's multiple urinations are collected separately in different separation tanks. After 24 hours, medical staff can remove the baffle to observe the volume, color, and sediment of each urination. The urine in the separation tank can be stirred by an electromagnetic stirrer inside, and then the urine in each separation tank can be discharged and sampled through a faucet valve. The urine with the most obvious urinary pathological characteristics can be collected and sampled separately for testing. Alternatively, the urine from multiple urinations in multiple separation tanks can be directly discharged into a mixing tank and mixed. The mixed urine from multiple urinations is then discharged and sampled through a faucet valve. This solves the problem that the existing technology can only sample and test uniformly mixed urine, and cannot separate and observe the urine when the patient's kidney disease is most severe, which may lead to an inability to accurately determine the actual condition of the kidney disease when assessing the condition.

[0019] Furthermore, since patients urinate on the toilet seat, both men and women can urinate by sitting on the toilet seat, which solves the problem that in existing technologies, urine collection devices are only suitable for a single gender, meaning that the collection devices for men and women are designed separately and cannot be used by both genders.

[0028] To address the problems existing in current devices for urine testing of kidney disease patients, this invention discloses a device for urine testing of kidney disease patients, comprising: a toilet seat, a separation mechanism, and a mixing mechanism;

[0029] The toilet seat, separation mechanism, and mixing mechanism are connected in sequence in an upper, middle, and lower arrangement.

The separately stored urine can then be discharged into the mixing mechanism for mixing and sampling.

[0030] The toilet seat is hinged to the toilet lid at the rear end, a pressure sensor is installed on the toilet seat, and a conduit is installed at the lower end of the toilet seat to connect to the separation mechanism.

[0031] The separation mechanism includes a receiving base, separation buckets, a motor, a belt, a support plate, and a sealing plate. The receiving base is a C-shaped plate with symmetrical square grooves on both sides for mounting baffles, several separation buckets arranged in an array at the lower end, and a support plate at the upper end. A sliding groove is formed at the upper end of the support plate, with a stepper motor mounted on one side and a bracket on the other.

A push rod pushes open the sealing plate, collecting the urine from a single urination into a separate separation bucket.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention; obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a cross-sectional view of the present invention, which includes a toilet seat, a separation mechanism, and a mixing mechanism.

[0035] The toilet seat, separation mechanism, and mixing mechanism are connected in sequence in an upper, middle, and lower arrangement. The toilet seat receives urine, which is then separated and stored separately by the separation mechanism. The separately stored urine can then be discharged into the mixing mechanism for mixing and sampling.

[0036] The toilet seat is hinged to the toilet lid at the rear end, a pressure sensor is installed on the toilet seat, and a conduit is installed at the lower end of the toilet seat to connect to the separation mechanism.

[0037] The separation mechanism includes a receiving base, separation buckets, a motor, a belt, a support plate, and a sealing plate. The receiving base is a C-shaped plate with symmetrical square grooves on both sides for mounting baffles, several separation buckets arranged in an array at the lower end, and a support plate at the upper end. A sliding groove is formed at the upper end of the support plate, with a stepper motor mounted on one side and a bracket on the other. Several through holes are formed at the lower end of the sliding groove corresponding to the top of each separation bucket, and a torsion spring is installed on the support plate wall below the through holes to connect to the sealing plate. A belt is mounted on the upper end of the stepper motor and the upper end of the bracket. A guide belt is provided on the belt. The tubing consists of a rigid tube connected to the lower end of a toilet seat at its upper end and an electromagnet ring in the middle. An elastic band connects the lower end of the electromagnet ring to the spinal canal. The spinal canal is fitted around the outer end of the electromagnet ring. A pressure sensor detects the patient's urination, controls a motor to rotate one revolution, moves the rigid tubing from a hole directly above a separation bucket to a hole directly above an adjacent separation bucket, and energizes the electromagnet to attract the upper end of the spinal canal to adhere to the electromagnet ring. A push rod pushes open the sealing plate, collecting the urine from a single urination into a separate separation bucket.

[0038] In this embodiment, the separation tank is a transparent separation tank with scale lines on the wall and a three-way valve at the lower end. One outlet pipe of the three-way valve extends into the mixing mechanism, and a normally closed solenoid valve is installed at the end of the outlet pipe extending into the mixing mechanism. The other outlet pipe extends out of the liquid distribution mechanism, and a faucet valve is installed at the end of the outlet pipe extending out of the liquid distribution mechanism.

[0039] An electromagnetic stirring mechanism is installed inside the separation tank.

[0040] In this embodiment, the mixing mechanism includes a mixing chamber; a stirring mechanism is provided inside the mixing chamber, and a faucet valve is provided at the lower end of the mixing chamber;

[0041] In this embodiment, a sealing ring is provided on the toilet seat. When the toilet seat is fastened to the toilet seat, the sealing ring fits against the toilet seat and seals the toilet seat.

[0042] In this embodiment, during actual use, the patient opens the toilet lid and sits on the toilet seat. The pressure sensor detects the patient urinating and controls the motor to rotate one revolution, moving the rigid catheter from the through hole directly above one separation tank to the through hole directly above the adjacent separation tank. The electromagnet is then energized to attract the upper end of the spinal canal to adhere to the electromagnet ring, and the lower end of the push rod pushes open the sealing plate, collecting the urine from a single urination into a separate separation tank. After urination, the patient stands up, the electromagnet ring is de-energized, the spinal canal is reset by the elastic band, and the sealing plate seals the separation tank under the action of the torsion spring. Then the toilet lid is closed, completely sealing and collecting the urine. This solves the problem in the prior art where the urine collection device has poor sealing performance, and the urine odor can easily overflow into the ward or home, causing pollution to the treatment environment.

[0043] Within 24 hours, the patient's multiple urinations are collected separately in different separation tanks. After 24 hours, medical staff can remove the baffle to observe the volume, color, and sediment of each urination. The urine in the separation tank can be stirred by an electromagnetic stirrer inside, and then the urine in each separation tank can be discharged and sampled through a faucet valve. The urine with the most obvious urinary pathological characteristics can be collected and sampled separately for testing. Alternatively, the urine from multiple urinations in multiple separation tanks can be directly discharged into a mixing tank and mixed. The mixed urine from multiple urinations is then discharged and sampled through a faucet valve. This solves the problem that the existing technology can only sample and test uniformly mixed urine, and cannot separate and observe the urine when the patient's kidney disease is most severe, which may lead to an inability to accurately determine the actual condition of the kidney disease when assessing the condition.

[0044] Furthermore, since patients urinate on the toilet seat, both men and women can urinate by sitting on the toilet seat, which solves the problem that in existing technologies, urine collection devices are only suitable for a single gender, meaning that the collection devices for men and women are designed separately and cannot be used by both genders.

[0045] In summary, this invention discloses a device for urine testing in patients with kidney disease, comprising: a toilet seat, a separation mechanism, and a mixing mechanism. In use, the patient opens the toilet lid and sits on the toilet seat. A pressure sensor detects urination and controls a motor to rotate one revolution, moving a rigid catheter from a through-hole directly above one separation bucket to a through-hole directly above an adjacent separation bucket. An electromagnet is energized to attract the upper end of the spinal canal to adhere to the electromagnet ring, and a push rod pushes open the sealing plate, collecting the urine from a single urination into a separate separation bucket. After urination, the patient stands up, the electromagnet ring is de-energized, the spinal canal is reset by the elastic band, and the sealing plate seals the separation bucket under the action of a torsion spring. The toilet lid is then closed, completely sealing and collecting the urine. This solves the problem in existing technologies where urine collection devices have poor sealing, allowing urine odor to easily escape into the ward or home, causing pollution to the treatment environment.

[0046] Within 24 hours, the patient's multiple urinations are collected separately in different separation tanks. After 24 hours, medical staff can remove the baffle to observe the volume, color, and sediment of each urination. The urine in the separation tank can be stirred by an electromagnetic stirrer inside, and then the urine in each separation tank can be discharged and sampled through a faucet valve.

This solves the problem that the existing technology can only sample and test uniformly mixed urine, and cannot separate and observe the urine when the patient's kidney disease is most severe, which may lead to an inability to accurately determine the actual condition of the kidney disease when assessing the condition.

[0047] Furthermore, since patients urinate on the toilet seat, both men and women can urinate by sitting on the toilet seat, which solves the problem that in existing technologies, urine collection devices are only suitable for a single gender, meaning that the collection devices for men and women are designed separately and cannot be used by both genders.
