Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of urine sample collection, and more particularly to a urine sample collection device for incontinence patients. Background Art

[0002] In the field of medical care, urine sample collection is a critical and high-frequency operation in the daily care and condition monitoring of incontinent patients. Urine samples can be used to timely monitor the patient's renal function, electrolyte balance, infection status and other health indicators, providing an important basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment plan adjustment.

[0003] Most existing urine collection devices use ordinary flexible tubes as their diversion channels. These tubes lack a supporting structure and are easily bent or squeezed during patient turning, movement, or nursing procedures, leading to blockage of the diversion channel. Once blocked, urine can remain at the front end of the collection device, such as at the bend in the diversion tube. This prolonged retention of urine can lead to bacterial growth, increasing the risk of urinary tract infection. The retained urine can also decompose and affect the accuracy of subsequent sample testing. Given this, we propose a urine sample collection device for incontinent patients. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, meet the actual needs, and provide a urine sample collection device for incontinence patients to solve the technical problem that the current ordinary hose diversion channel is prone to bending and clogging due to lack of support.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A urine sample collection device for incontinence patients, comprising a diaper and a urine bag, wherein a wearing mechanism is provided at the bottom of the diaper, and a diversion mechanism is provided at the bottom of the wearing mechanism, wherein the wearing mechanism comprises a condom, a rubber lip, and a rubber ring, wherein the condom is mounted by adhering the Velcro B surface to the Velcro A surface corresponding to the top of the diaper, the rubber lip is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the inlet end of the condom, and the rubber ring is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the inlet end of the condom, and the diversion mechanism comprises a diversion tube, a threaded tube wall, and a spring wire, wherein the diversion tube is fixedly mounted on the top of the urine bag, the threaded tube wall is opened on the inner wall of the diversion tube, and the spring wire is fixedly mounted on the threaded tube wall and extends spirally along the inner wall of the threaded tube wall, and the inlet end of the diversion mechanism is detachably connected to the outlet end of the wearing mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the wearing mechanism further comprises a threaded sleeve, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the condom, a sealing groove is provided at the bottom of the threaded sleeve, a guide groove is provided on the inner wall of the condom, and a ventilation groove is provided on the inner wall of the rubber ring.

[0007] Preferably, the diversion mechanism further comprises a connecting head, a sealing strip corresponding to the sealing groove is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting head, a fixed sleeve is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting head, and a conical bucket is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the rubber lip is a tapered funnel-shaped structure.

[0009] Preferably, the depth of the guide groove gradually becomes shallower from its inlet end to its outlet end.

[0010] Preferably, the ventilation grooves are distributed circumferentially along the ring wall of the rubber ring.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the conical bucket gradually decreases from the top to the bottom.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention achieves efficient and stable diversion through the diversion groove and spring wire. The diversion groove on the inner wall of the condom adopts a structural design with a deep inlet end and a shallow outlet end. The height difference can be used to guide urine to flow quickly to the outlet end, avoiding urine retention inside the condom. The spring wire on the inner wall of the diversion tube extends spirally along the threaded tube wall, which can always maintain the circular and unobstructed state of the diversion tube. Even if the patient turns over or moves, causing the diversion tube to be squeezed or bent, after the spring wire is deformed, the diversion tube can be driven to return to its original shape immediately by releasing the hand. This solves the problem that traditional catheters are easily blocked and solves the problem that the diversion channel of ordinary hoses is easily bent and blocked due to lack of support.

[0013] 2. The present invention also has ventilation grooves distributed circumferentially along the rubber ring wall. While ensuring the variable clamping ability of the rubber ring, it can also achieve air circulation between the inside of the condom and the outside world, preventing the patient's local skin from being in a moist, closed environment for a long time. The ventilation grooves can also reduce the wrapping pressure of the rubber ring on the penis, ensuring smooth local blood circulation, effectively preventing diaper rash, skin redness and swelling caused by moisture or poor blood circulation, and improving the patient's comfort when wearing the condom for a long time.

[0016] Example: Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention relates to a urine sample collection device for incontinence patients, including a diaper 1 and a urine bag 4. A wearing mechanism 2 is provided at the bottom of the diaper 1, and a diversion mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the wearing mechanism 2. The wearing mechanism 2 includes a condom 21, a rubber lip 22 and a rubber ring 23. The condom 21 is attached to the Velcro A surface 11 corresponding to the top of the diaper 1 through the Velcro B surface 212. The rubber lip 22 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the inlet end of the condom 21. The rubber lip 22 is a tapered funnel-shaped structure. The rubber ring 23 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inlet end of the condom 21. The diversion mechanism 3 includes a diversion tube 31, a threaded tube wall 32 and a spring wire 33. The diversion tube 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the urine bag 4. The threaded tube wall 32 is opened on the inner wall of the diversion tube 31. The spring wire 33 is fixedly installed on the threaded tube wall 32. The spring wire 33 extends spirally along the inner wall of the threaded tube wall 32, and the inlet end of the diversion mechanism 3 is detachably connected to the outlet end of the wearing mechanism 2. The present invention achieves efficient and stable diversion through the diversion groove 211 and the spring wire 33. The diversion groove 211 on the inner wall of the condom 21 adopts a structural design with a deep inlet end and a shallow outlet end. The height difference can be used to guide urine to flow quickly to the outlet end, thereby preventing urine from being retained inside the condom 21. The spring wire 33 on the inner wall of the diversion tube 31 extends spirally along the threaded tube wall 32, and can always maintain the circular and unobstructed state of the diversion tube 31. Even if the patient turns over or moves, causing the diversion tube 31 to be squeezed or bent, after the spring wire 33 is deformed, the diversion tube 31 can be driven to return to its original shape immediately by releasing the hand, which completely solves the problem of traditional catheters being easily blocked and solves the problem that the diversion channel of ordinary hoses is easily bent and blocked due to lack of support.

[0017] Further, such as Figures 2 to 5As shown, the wearing mechanism 2 also includes a threaded sleeve 24, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the condom 21. A sealing groove 241 is provided at the bottom of the threaded sleeve 24. A guide groove 211 is provided on the inner wall of the condom 21. The depth of the guide groove 211 gradually becomes shallower from its inlet end to its outlet end. A ventilation groove 231 is provided on the inner wall of the rubber ring 23. The ventilation grooves 231 are circumferentially distributed along the ring wall of the rubber ring 23. The ventilation grooves 231 are circumferentially distributed along the ring wall of the rubber ring 23. While ensuring the deformation and clamping ability of the rubber ring 23, air circulation between the inside of the condom 21 and the outside world can be achieved, thereby preventing the patient's local skin from being in a humid and closed environment for a long time. The ventilation grooves 231 can also reduce the wrapping and pressure of the rubber ring 23 on the penis, thereby ensuring smooth local blood circulation, effectively preventing diaper rash, skin redness and swelling caused by moisture or poor blood circulation, and improving the comfort of the patient when wearing for a long time.

[0018] Further, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the diversion mechanism 3 also includes a connecting head 35, a sealing strip 351 corresponding to the sealing groove 241 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting head 35, a fixed sleeve 34 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing sleeve 34, and a conical bucket 341 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing sleeve 34. The diameter of the conical bucket 341 gradually decreases from the top to the bottom. The conical bucket 341 on the top of the fixing sleeve 34 adopts a tapered design with a large top diameter and a small bottom diameter. When installing the diversion tube 31, the threaded sleeve 24 can be guided to quickly dock with the fixed sleeve 34, which reduces the difficulty of installation and improves the efficiency of nursing operations. It is especially suitable for nursing staff to quickly complete the assembly of the device in emergency or busy scenarios.

[0019] Working principle: This embodiment provides a urine sample collection device for incontinence patients. When in use, the diaper 1 is worn normally, and the adhesive tapes on both sides of one end of the diaper 1 and the hook and loop fasteners on the other end are used to form a surround and fixed to the outside of the patient's buttocks. At the same time, the penis sleeve 21 is positioned against the patient's penis, and the rubber lip 22 is used to guide the penis. Because the rubber lip 22 is a tapered funnel shape, after wearing, the rubber lip 22 will naturally fit on the skin at the base of the penis, forming a first physical sealing barrier. When the penis penetrates into the penis sleeve 21, the inlet side of the rubber ring 23 is curved, which facilitates the penetration of the penis. The ventilation groove 231 not only meets the ventilation conditions, but also provides the necessary deformation space for the rubber ring 23, so that the rubber ring 23 is clamped on the outside of the penis. The ventilation groove 231 can also prevent poor blood circulation.

[0020] After the urine flows into the condom 21, it is diverted through the guide groove 211. Because the guide groove 211 is deep at the inlet end and shallow at the outlet end, it can be drained smoothly. It enters the connector 35 through the threaded sleeve 24 and then enters the guide tube 31. Because the guide tube 31 is provided with a threaded tube wall 32, and the inner wall of the threaded tube wall 32 is fixedly installed with a spring wire 33, the spring wire 33 ensures that the guide tube 31 always maintains a circular and unobstructed state. If it is squeezed or bent, causing the spring wire 33 to be deformed, the spring wire 33 can also drive the guide tube 31 to immediately return to its original shape after releasing the hand. After flowing into the urine bag 4, the patient's urine sample can be collected at any time.

[0021] When the device needs to be replaced or disassembled, the fixing sleeve 34 is rotated and the thread of the fixing sleeve 34 is removed to separate the sealing strip 351 from the seal of the sealing groove 241. During installation, the conical bucket 341 at the installation end of the threaded sleeve 24 is gradually set, which makes it easy to install the guide tube 31.

[0022] By pulling the rubber lip 22 upward, the Velcro B surface 212 can be separated from the Velcro A surface 11, and the condom 21 can be disassembled.

[0023] The embodiments disclosed in the present invention are preferred embodiments, but are not limited to them. Ordinary technicians in this field can easily understand the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and changes. As long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
