[0026] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0027] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.

[0028] A disposable anti-contamination urine specimen collection device, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes a transparent cup body 100, a sponge column 120 is installed at the bottom of the transparent cup body 100, a storage tube 300 for storing urine is slidingly provided inside the sponge column 120, and a pressure component 200 is assembled on the top of the transparent cup body 100;

[0029] The pressure-applying assembly 200 includes a positioning cylinder 210 fixed to the upper outer wall of the transparent cup body 100. An externally threaded cylinder 220 is assembled within the positioning cylinder 210. A positioning disk 250 is fixed to the inner wall of the externally threaded cylinder 220. A piston disk 240 is movably assembled on the top of the positioning disk 250. A force-bearing rod 260 is provided at the bottom center of the piston disk 240 and extends to the bottom of the positioning disk 250. The outer wall of the transparent cup body 100 is connected to a connecting nozzle 110 connected to the storage tube 300. The connecting nozzle 110 is provided at a position near the bottom of the outer wall of the transparent cup body 100.

[0030] The inlet end of the storage tube 300 is sleeved with a sealing cap 310 connected to the outer wall of the storage tube 300. The curved outer wall of the storage tube 300 is engraved with scale lines 330. A silicone valve 320 is provided inside the storage tube 300 near the inlet end. The storage tube 300 is made of transparent plastic.

[0031] Before the patient collects urine, the external threaded cylinder 220 needs to be manually rotated to separate and pull out the positioning cylinder 210. At this time, the piston disc 240 and the force-bearing rod 260 will be moved out together. At the same time, the storage tube 300 is taken out from the sponge column 120 and the end cover is opened. The inlet end of the storage tube 300 is inserted into the connecting nozzle 110 (as shown in the attached manual). Figure 5 As shown), the storage tube 300 can serve as the handle of the transparent cup body 100. The patient grips the outer wall of the storage tube 300 and moves the transparent cup body 100 to the lower part of the urethra to collect urine. At this time, the distance between the hand and the transparent cup body 100 can be extended to prevent urine from adhering to the hand. When urine enters the transparent cup body 100, the porous structure inside the sponge column 120 absorbs and hides the urine, which can prevent the urine from colliding with the transparent cup body 100 and splashing onto the patient's hand, thereby improving the anti-fouling performance.

[0032] The patient can observe the urine collection situation inside the transparent cup body 100. If the urine just covers the top of the sponge column 120, the urine collection can be stopped. At this time, the external threaded cylinder 220 that has been taken out is reversed up and down, so that the force rod 260 is facing upward, and the piston plate 240 is moved from the original position at the top of the positioning plate 250 to the bottom (as shown in the attached manual). Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the patient applies an external force to the externally threaded cylinder 220 to rotate it into the positioning cylinder 210. At this time, the patient's hand applies a vertical downward external force to the force-bearing rod 260, and the force-bearing rod 260 will extend straight into the transparent cup body 100, prompting the piston disc 240 to squeeze the sponge column 120, so that the urine semen connecting nozzle 110 hidden inside is discharged into the storage tube 300. When the piston disc 240 moves downward, it will generate a certain pressure on the urine, prompting the silicone valve 320 to open and allow urine to pass through here and enter the storage tube 300. At the same time, the patient can judge the amount of urine in the storage tube 300 by passing through the scale line 330 on the outer wall of the storage tube 300. Finally, the urine in the transparent cup body 100 is poured out and the transparent cup body 100 is thrown into the designated trash can. The patient can hand over the storage tube 300 after collecting urine to the medical staff.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 A circular hole is provided at the center of the positioning plate 250 for the force-bearing rod 260 to slide downward, and the size of the circular hole matches that of the force-bearing rod 260 .

[0034] The purpose of providing space and guiding for the downward movement of the force bar 260 is to press the piston disc 240 at the bottom end to extrude the urine from the sponge column 120.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the outer wall of the outer threaded cylinder 220 is connected with the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 210 in a threaded manner, the outer wall of the outer threaded cylinder 220 is fixed with a handle ring 230 at the central position, and the curved outer wall of the handle ring 230 is provided with a plurality of anti-skid lines at equal intervals.

[0036] The handle ring 230 is convenient for manual hands to apply external force to the outer threaded cylinder 220, and the anti-skid lines on the outer wall increase the static friction coefficient between the two, so that the hands can better apply external force to the handle ring 230.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 , the top center of the sponge column 120 is provided with a first accommodation hole 130 for storing the force bar 260, and the second accommodation hole 140 for placing the storage tube 300 is provided on one side of the top of the sponge column 120.

[0038] The force bar 260 and the storage tube 300 provide storage space, so that they can be stored in the transparent cup body 100, making it convenient for medical staff to hand over to patients, and preventing the lack of parts from affecting urine collection.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the bottom of the positioning disc 250 is fixed with a connecting ring 270 located outside the force bar 260, the inner wall of the connecting ring 270 is provided with a plurality of soft plastic pieces 280 fixed to the outer wall of the force bar 260, and the curved outer wall of each group of soft plastic pieces 280 is provided with a prefabricated fracture groove 281.

[0040] The purpose of the force bar 260 is to constrain, when the piston disc 240 and the positioning disc 250 are flipped to realize the action of reversing the upper and lower positions, the piston disc 240 and the force bar 260 can be blocked to make it more convenient for patients to operate manually;

[0041] When the force bar 260 is subjected to external force from above, it will drive the soft plastic piece 280 to move downward, so that the soft plastic piece 280 is disconnected along the prefabricated fracture groove 281, and at this time the force bar 260 will continue to move downward to approach the sponge column 120, until the purpose of extruding the sponge column 120 is achieved.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 , the port of the storage tube 300 is in a state of fitting with the connecting nozzle 110.

[0043] The storage tube 300 port and the connection mouth 110 connection can be stabilized, and the urine in the transparent cup 100 flows into the storage tube 300 to complete the urine collection work.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , the top of the piston disc 240 and the inner wall of the outer threaded cylinder 220 form a storage groove, and the inner diameter of the storage groove is equal to the outer wall diameter of the transparent cup 100.

[0045] The transparent cup 100 can be inserted into the storage groove, and the two groups of transparent cups 100 are in a stacked state, so as to facilitate subsequent packaging work.

[0046] In use, before the patient collects urine, the outer threaded cylinder 220 needs to be manually rotated to separate from the positioning cylinder 210 and be pulled out, which will drive the piston disc 240 and the stressed rod 260 to move out together, and at the same time, the storage tube 300 is taken out from the sponge column 120 and the end cover is opened, the inlet end of the storage tube 300 is inserted into the connection mouth 110 (as shown in the description Figure 5 At this time, the storage tube 300 can serve as a handle of the transparent cup 100, the patient holds the outer wall of the storage tube 300 with the hand, moves the transparent cup 100 to the lower part of the urethra to collect urine, at this time, the distance between the hand and the transparent cup 100 can be extended to prevent urine from adhering to the hand, when the urine enters the transparent cup 100, the porous structure inside the sponge column 120 can absorb and hide the urine, which can prevent the urine from splashing and colliding with the transparent cup 100, and better avoid splashing to the patient's hand, so as to improve the anti-pollution performance of use;

[0047] The patient can observe the urine collection situation in the transparent cup 100, if the urine just passes the top of the sponge column 120, the urine collection can be stopped, at this time, the outer threaded cylinder 220 that has been taken out is reversed up and down, the stressed rod 260 value is upward, and the piston disc 240 is converted from the original position on the top of the positioning disc 250 to the bottom (as shown in the description Figure 5When the piston plate 240 is in the position shown, and the outer force is applied to the outer threaded cylinder 220 to make it rotate into the positioning cylinder 210, at this time the patient's hand applies a vertical downward external force to the force bar 260, the force bar 260 will linearly extend into the transparent cup body 100, prompting the piston plate 240 to extrude the sponge column 120, so that the urine precision connecting nozzle 110 hidden inside is discharged into the storage tube 300, the piston plate 240 moves downward at the same time to generate a certain pressure on the urine, prompting the silica rubber valve 320 to open to make the urine pass through here and enter into the storage tube 300, at the same time the patient can penetrate the scale line 330 on the outer wall of the storage tube 300 to determine the amount of urine in the storage tube 300, finally the urine in the transparent cup body 100 is poured out, and the transparent cup body 100 is thrown into the designated garbage can, and the patient hands over the storage tube 300 after collecting the urine to the medical staff.
