[0042] All features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes disclosed, except mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any manner.

[0043] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any additional claims, abstract and drawings), unless otherwise stated, may be replaced by other equivalent or alternative features with similar purposes. That is, unless otherwise stated, each feature is only an example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0044] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a smart urine collector of the present invention comprises a urine bag 1, a ventilation adapter 6, a detection component and a device host 9. The urine bag 1 has at least one liquid storage cavity 11 with an opening on one side, which is one liquid storage cavity 11 in this embodiment, and is used to store discharged urine.

[0045] A detachable functional connector 5 and a ventilation interface are provided on the side of the urine collecting bag 1 facing away from the outlet. The functional connector 5 is used to connect the ventilation adapter tube 6 and other necessary components, and the ventilation interface is used to connect with the airflow of the ventilation system. The entire liquid storage chamber 11 is ventilated and dried through the ventilation interface to keep the internal environment dry, reduce the growth of bacteria, and ventilate and dry the local area of ​​the user.

[0046] The ventilation adapter tube 6 and the functional connector 5 are assembled through a detachable connection, which ensures the position of the vent and the conduction of the ventilation interface, so that the ventilation system can be flexibly connected and easy to install and maintain. During later cleaning, the ventilation adapter tube 6 can be disassembled relative to the functional connector 5 to separate the parts and clean them independently in turn.

[0047] In order to achieve ventilation, a ventilation hose 4 is provided on the ventilation adapter tube 6 in this embodiment, and the air outlet end of the ventilation hose 4 is connected to the ventilation inlet connector 3 on the ventilation docking interface to ensure that the airflow can be effectively transmitted to the user's private parts to provide the necessary dryness and comfort.

[0048] The detection component is installed at the bottom of the liquid storage cavity 11 of the urine bag 1 or in the functional connector 5, and is used to monitor the state of urine in the liquid storage cavity 11 in real time. In this embodiment, the detection component can be a high-precision sensor, or an optical sensor or a capacitive sensor; the optical sensor can determine the presence of urine by detecting the absorption or reflection of light by urine; the capacitive sensor can sense urine by detecting the change in capacitance value of urine. Both sensors have high sensitivity and accuracy and can be used as substitutes for high-precision sensors.

[0049] When the detection component senses the generation of urine, the sensor transmits a signal to the main control board 15 of the device host 9. The main control board 15 controls the urine pump 17 to start according to the received signal, extracts urine from the liquid storage chamber 11, and introduces it into the urination connector 12 through the urinary catheter, and finally collects it in the urine bag. The input end of the urine pump 17 is connected to the front-stage connector 84 through the functional pipeline component 8, and the output end is connected to the urination connector 12. The urination connector 12 is fixedly installed on the device host 9 to ensure that urine can be collected smoothly and prevent urine leakage.

[0050] The main unit 9 of the device is equipped with a urine pump 17 and a blowing assembly, and the output end of the blowing assembly is connected to the ventilation transfer tube 6 and the ventilation interface through the functional pipeline assembly 8;

[0051] In other embodiments, the urine pump 17 can be replaced by an air pump 13 or a water pressure pump. The air pump 13 can extract urine by generating negative pressure, while the water pressure pump can push urine by increasing water pressure. Both pumps can achieve the function of extracting urine, but the specific choice needs to be determined according to the overall design of the device and the usage scenario.

[0052] In this embodiment, the air blowing component can be an air blowing pump 13. Currently, many air blowing pumps 13 on the market have a gas temperature adjustment function. Therefore, in this embodiment, the air blowing pump 13 can also blow out hot gas for ventilation and drying.

[0053] Of course, in other embodiments, a heating element or a fan may be used instead of the air pump 13. The heating element can provide warm airflow by heating the air, while the fan can provide cool airflow by blowing the air. Both methods can achieve the function of air supply and drying, but the specific choice should be determined according to the needs of the user and seasonal changes.

[0054] In other embodiments, the urine pump 17 may not be used. For example, gravity drainage or siphon principle may be used instead of urine pump 17 for drainage. Both gravity drainage and siphon principle can use natural force to achieve urine drainage without the need for additional power equipment. However, this method may be limited by the position and angle of the device, and the drainage speed is relatively slow. Therefore, the specific usage scenario and user needs of the device need to be considered when choosing.

[0055] The device host 9 is also provided with a main control board 15 and a rechargeable battery 16. The rechargeable battery 16 supplies power to the urine pump 17 and the blowing component to ensure that the device can still operate normally in the event of a power outage.

[0056] The main control board 15 is responsible for receiving the signal transmitted by the detection component and controlling the action execution of the urine pump 17 and the blowing component to realize the automatic liquid extraction and intelligent air supply functions.

[0057] The main control panel 15 is also provided with a charging interface 14 and a function button 10 , through which the user can perform manual operations, such as continuous urine extraction or continuous air supply, to meet different usage requirements.

[0058] The present invention is equipped with three clear, easy-to-understand, concise buttons, namely, a power button, a continuous urine extraction button, and a continuous air supply button, which are convenient for users to complete various operations easily and quickly, and users can quickly get started even for the first time.

[0059] Specifically, the function buttons 10 include:

[0060] Power button: Just press this button briefly, the device will turn on quickly, and then automatically monitor urine, so you can always be ready for work. If you need to turn off the device, just press this button again. The operation is simple and convenient, and easy to master.

[0061] Continuous urine pumping button: When the urine cannot be completely pumped out or the private parts are still wet, press and hold this button and the urine pump 17 will continue to work until the user manually releases the button to stop working, thereby effectively ensuring that the private parts are kept dry to the best level and meeting the usage requirements in special circumstances.

[0062] Continuous air supply button: If the user wants to maintain a dry and comfortable environment for the private parts for a long time, he / she can press and hold this button. At this time, the blower will continue to run and continue to deliver appropriate air to the private parts until the operation is manually stopped, so that the user can flexibly control the air supply time according to their own needs.

[0063] The functional pipeline assembly 8 includes a plurality of functional parallel pipes, a front-stage connector 84 and a rear-stage connector 85; one end of the functional parallel pipe is connected to the front-stage connector 84, and the other end is connected to the rear-stage connector 85;

[0064] The front-stage connector 84 is connected to the output end of the blowing assembly and the input end of the urine pump 17, and is fixedly mounted on the device host 9;

[0065] The rear-stage connector 85 is connected to the ventilation transfer tube 6, and a locking cover 7 is installed on the outside of the rear-stage connector 85, which is detachably connected to the functional connector 5 through the locking cover 7;

[0066] Specifically, the multiple functional parallel pipes include a liquid extraction pipe 82, a first ventilation pipe 81, and a second ventilation pipe 83. The first ventilation docking port 61, the second ventilation docking port 62, and the liquid extraction docking port 63 are set at the position corresponding to the rear-stage connecting component 85 on the ventilation transfer tube 6. In this way, the rear-stage connecting component 85 is inserted into the corresponding docking port, and then the locking cover 7 is used to lock and fix it with the functional connecting component 5. When disassembling, you only need to remove the locking cover 7 to complete the disassembly.

[0067] When the urine bag needs to be ventilated, the first ventilation tube 81 and the second ventilation tube 83 are used to ventilate the interior of the urine bag, and the urine extraction tube 82 is used to automatically extract the urine in the urine bag.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, locking hooks 71 are provided on both sides of the locking cover 7, and locking grooves 51 are provided at positions corresponding to the locking hooks 71 on the functional connector 5. The locking hooks 71 are inserted into the locking grooves 51 for locking, so that the rear-stage connector 85 is firmly connected to the ventilation adapter tube 6, ensuring the stability of airflow transmission and convenient disassembly and assembly, so that the functional pipeline assembly 8 can be disassembled and assembled from the urine bag and cleaned and used separately.

[0069] In this embodiment, in the embodiment, the urine bag 1 of the intelligent urine collector is provided with an air outlet 2, and a sealing plug is provided at the position of the air outlet 2, which is opened when sealing and closed when collecting liquid;

[0070] The urine collecting bag 1 is made of food-grade silicone material to ensure a good fit with the user's skin. It is soft and non-irritating, and will not cause discomfort or allergic reactions even when worn for a long time, thereby improving the user's comfort and safety.

[0071] In a further embodiment, when it is detected that a large amount of urine is produced, the main control board 15 will automatically increase the working intensity of the suction pump to ensure that the urine is drained quickly; in different seasons, the main control board 15 adjusts the wind temperature of the blowing component according to the ambient temperature, providing cool wind in summer and warm wind in winter, further enhancing the user experience.

[0072] In another embodiment, the functional pipeline assembly 8 adopts a modular design, including a detachable front-stage connector 84 and a rear-stage connector 85, so that the user can replace or maintain each part as needed;

[0073] The front-stage connector 84 is fixedly mounted on the device host 9, and the rear-stage connector 85 is detachably connected to the functional connector 5 via the locking cover 7. The user only needs to simply operate the locking cover 7 to complete the connection or disassembly, which greatly simplifies the maintenance process of the device.

[0074] In all embodiments, the intelligent urine collector of the present invention realizes intelligent detection and automatic drainage of urine through the integration of high-precision sensors, automatic liquid pumps and intelligent air supply systems, and provides an automatically adjusted air supply and drying function to ensure that the private parts are always dry and comfortable. The modular and detachable design not only improves the ease of use and cleaning convenience of the equipment, but also significantly improves the nursing efficiency through intelligent control, comprehensively solves the shortcomings of traditional urine collectors in terms of incomplete urine collection, damp and uncomfortable private parts, complex operation and difficult cleaning, and significantly improves the quality of life of users.

[0075] The present invention has a built-in high-precision sensor, which has high sensitivity and accuracy and can monitor urine conditions in real time and continuously. Once urine is detected, the urine pump 17 will automatically start immediately and quickly pump urine away in an efficient working state, thus avoiding various discomforts caused by urine wetting the body from the root, so that users do not need to worry about it and can easily enjoy convenient care;

[0076] After the urine collection process is completed, the user can flexibly choose to enable the air supply function according to their actual needs. In summer, the device will automatically blow out cool and pleasant wind to quickly remove excess moisture from the private parts and bring a refreshing feeling; in winter, the wind is warm and comfortable, keeping dry and preventing cold, ensuring that the private parts are always in an ideal state of dryness and comfort.

[0077] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope defined in the claims.
