Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of urine detection technology, and particularly relates to a novel integrated urine collection and dripping device and its operation method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, urine testing is an important tool for clinical diagnosis, health screening, and disease monitoring, covering multiple application scenarios such as routine urinalysis, pathogen detection, and biochemical indicator testing. The demand for home self-testing and rapid on-site testing is also constantly increasing. However, the existing urine testing process is rather cumbersome, requiring urine collection containers and collection tubes for transferring urine. Therefore, when testing is needed, the user first collects urine in the container, then collects the urine from the container through the collection tube, and finally drains the collected urine for testing. This requires multiple devices, making it cumbersome and inconvenient. Furthermore, the urine collection containers are generally large, making them inconvenient for users to carry, and also resulting in bulky packaging for manufacturers, high manufacturing costs, and difficulties in transportation. This leads to numerous drawbacks in terms of use, transportation, packaging, and cost. Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade and transform the existing devices and operating methods to achieve simplified and integrated devices, improve operational convenience, and reduce the overall packaging volume. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention solves the following problems: urine testing requires multiple devices, which is cumbersome and inconvenient to use. At the same time, the containers for collecting urine are generally large in size, making it inconvenient for users to carry. This also results in large packaging volume for manufacturers, high manufacturing costs, and difficulty in transportation. Thus, it leads to many disadvantages in terms of use, transportation, packaging, and high costs.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A novel integrated urine collection and dripping device includes a connecting sleeve, a liquid absorber, a sealing sleeve, a dripping tube, and a drainage separation mechanism. The connecting sleeve has a through-type structure. A liquid absorber is inserted into the upper end of the connecting sleeve. The upper part of the liquid absorber extends to the outside of the upper end of the connecting sleeve. The sealing sleeve is sealed to the upper end of the connecting sleeve and seals and preserves the liquid absorber. The lower end of the connecting sleeve is connected to the dripping tube. The drainage separation mechanism is connected to the dripping tube. The drainage separation mechanism seals or opens the lower end of the dripping tube.

[0005] Furthermore, the liquid separation mechanism is a separation block; the separation block is twisted or broken off and connected to the lower end of the drip tube.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer end of the separating block is provided with a sealing groove; the sealing groove is a threaded groove or a straight slot.

[0007] Furthermore, an annular groove is provided around the connection between the lower end of the drip tube and the upper end of the separation block.

[0008] Furthermore, the liquid separation mechanism includes a detachable handle and a separation cap; a detachable handle is installed on the outside of the drip tube; a connecting groove is provided in the middle of the detachable handle; the separation cap is fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting groove; the drip tubes are distributed on the connecting groove of the detachable handle; the two sides of the drip tubes are screwed or broken off from the two sides of the connecting groove; the lower end of the drip tubes is screwed or broken off from the separation cap.

[0009] Furthermore, strip-shaped fracture grooves are provided on both sides of the drip tube and on both sides of the connecting groove; an annular fracture groove is provided between the lower end of the drip tube and the separation cap.

[0010] Furthermore, the liquid separation mechanism is a screw-on sleeve; the screw-on sleeve is threaded around the lower end of the drip tube.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower end of the sealing sleeve is directly inserted into the upper end of the connecting sleeve for sealing.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower end of the sealing sleeve is screwed onto the upper end of the connecting sleeve via a threaded connection.

[0013] The operation method of an integrated novel urine collection and dripping device includes the following steps: First, remove the sealing sleeve to expose the outer end of the liquid-absorbing tube. Then, bring the liquid-absorbing tube into contact with the urine to ensure that the liquid-absorbing tube fully absorbs the urine. After collection, seal the sealing sleeve to the upper end of the connecting sleeve to facilitate the sealed storage and transportation of the liquid-absorbing tube. When dripping detection is required, separate the liquid-draining separation mechanism from the dripping tube to make the lower end of the dripping tube conductive. By squeezing the side of the sealing sleeve or pushing the outer end of the sealing sleeve, the side or end of the liquid-absorbing tube is compressed. After the liquid-absorbing tube is compressed, the urine is squeezed out by pressure and discharged from the dripping tube, thus achieving dripping detection.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention integrates urine collection, transportation, and drip detection, eliminating the need for additional urine collection containers and urine transfer tubes for testing. This simplifies the complexity of traditional devices, improves the convenience of carrying and using them, reduces packaging area, enhances transportation convenience, and lowers processing costs for enterprises.

[0015] 2. When using this invention for urine testing, the sealing sleeve is first removed, separating it from the connecting sleeve to expose the outer end of the absorbent. The absorbent is then brought into contact with the urine, allowing direct contact collection during urination. This ensures the absorbent fully absorbs the urine. After collection, the sealing sleeve is reattached to the upper end of the connecting sleeve for sealed storage and transportation. When drip testing is required, the drainage separation mechanism is separated from the drip tube, making the lower end of the drip tube open. By squeezing the side or end of the sealing sleeve, the absorbent is compressed. Under compression, urine is forced out from the absorbent and ultimately discharged from the drip tube, achieving drip testing. This entire process eliminates the need for a urine collection container, and the urine is directly within the absorbent, allowing for direct squeezing and discharge when testing is needed, eliminating the need for other transfer devices. The integrated design makes operation convenient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a novel integrated urine collection and dripping device includes a connecting sleeve 1, a liquid-absorbing component 2, a sealing sleeve 3, a dripping tube 4, and a drainage separation mechanism 5. The connecting sleeve 1 has a through-type structure. A liquid-absorbing component 2, made of sponge material, is inserted and installed inside the upper end of the connecting sleeve 1. The upper part of the liquid-absorbing component 2 extends to the outside of the upper end of the connecting sleeve 1. The sealing sleeve 3 is sealed and connected to the upper end of the connecting sleeve 1 to preserve the liquid-absorbing component 2. The lower end of the sealing sleeve 3 can be sealed and connected to the upper end of the connecting sleeve 1 by a straight insertion or by a threaded connection, which can be reasonably selected by those skilled in the art. The sealing sleeve 3 can be made of a high-polymer elastic material. The lower end of the connecting sleeve 1 is connected to the dripping tube 4, and the lower end of the connecting sleeve 1 can be connected to the upper end of the dripping tube 4 through a tapered connecting section 11 that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The drainage separation mechanism 5 is connected to the dripping tube 4. The drainage separation mechanism 5 seals or opens the lower end of the dripping tube 4. In this embodiment, the drainage separation mechanism 5 is a separation block 51; the separation block 51 is screwed or broken off and connected to the lower end of the dripping tube 4. An annular groove 511 can be provided around the connection between the lower end of the dripping tube 4 and the upper end of the separation block 51 to facilitate breaking or screwing off; when it is necessary to open and conduct the flow at the lower end of the dripping tube 4, the separation block 51 can be directly broken off or screwed off. In this embodiment, a sealing groove 512 is designed at the outer end of the separation block 51. The sealing groove 512 is a threaded connection groove or a straight slot. Thus, after the separation block 51 is disconnected and urine is discharged, the separation block 51 can be inverted, and its sealing groove 512 can be used to seal the connection with the lower end of the dripping tube 4. This can be achieved through threaded connection, straight insertion sealing, or other methods, which can be reasonably selected by those skilled in the art. This design can prevent residual urine leakage, unpleasant odors from evaporating into the outside air, environmental pollution, and other drawbacks. Example 2

[0026] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, this embodiment refers to Embodiment 1, but differs in the design of the drainage separation mechanism 5. The drainage separation mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes a detachable handle 52 and a separation cap 53; a detachable handle 52 is installed on the outside of the dripping tube 4; the detachable handle 52 has a U-shaped structure; a connecting groove 521 is provided in the middle of the detachable handle 52; the lower side of the connecting groove 521 is fixedly connected to the separation cap 53, and the lower side of the separation cap 53 and the connecting groove 521 are connected by a reinforcing strip 532; the dripping tube 4 is distributed on the connecting groove 521 of the detachable handle 52; the two sides of the dripping tube 4 are screwed or broken off from the two sides of the connecting groove 521; the lower end of the dripping tube 4 is screwed or broken off from the separation cap 53. Strip-shaped fracture grooves 522 can be provided on both sides of the drip tube 4 and the two sides of the connecting groove 521 for connection. An annular fracture groove 531 is provided between the lower end of the drip tube 4 and the separation cap 53. In this way, when in use, the detachable handle 52 can be directly rotated or broken to one side. The detachable handle 52 drives the separation cap 53 to be disconnected from the drip tube 4, which facilitates the conduction of the drip tube 4. In this embodiment, the detachable handle 52 and the separation cap 53 are combined. When the liquid 2 absorbs urine, the end of the detachable handle 52 can be held, which is more convenient to take. The detachable handle 52 can be designed as a long strip U-shaped structure, so that there is a certain distance between the outer end of the liquid 2 and the end of the detachable handle 52, which makes it easy for the liquid 2 to splash on the hand when absorbing urine. Example 3

[0027] like Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment refers to Embodiment 1 or 2, the difference being the design of the drainage separation mechanism 5. In this embodiment, the drainage separation mechanism 5 is a screw-on sleeve 54; the screw-on sleeve 54 is threaded around the lower end of the dripping tube 4, so that when it is necessary to connect the lower end of the dripping tube 4, the connection is made by rotating the screw-on sleeve 54. In operation, when urine drips from the dripping tube 4, the screw-on sleeve 54 can be screwed back on and sealed to the dripping tube 4 to avoid residual urine leakage, unpleasant odors evaporating into the outside air, environmental pollution, and other drawbacks.

[0028] The operation method of this invention is as follows: like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the operation method of an integrated novel urine collection and dripping device includes the following steps: First, the sealing sleeve 3 is pulled out, exposing the outer end of the absorbent liquid 2. Then, the absorbent liquid 2 is brought into contact with the urine, allowing it to fully absorb the urine. After collection, the sealing sleeve 3 is sealed and connected to the upper end of the connecting sleeve 1 for easy sealing, storage, and transportation of the absorbent liquid 2. When dripping detection is required, the drainage separation mechanism 5 is separated from the dripping tube 4, making the lower end of the dripping tube 4 open. By squeezing the side of the sealing sleeve 3 or pushing the outer end of the sealing sleeve 3, the side or end of the absorbent liquid 2 is compressed. After being compressed, the urine is squeezed out by pressure and discharged from the dripping tube 4, thus achieving dripping detection. In this operation method, the sealing sleeve 3 can be squeezed from the side, or the outer end of the sealing sleeve 3 can be pushed like a piston. Side squeezing is the conventional choice, while pushing the outer end of the sealing sleeve 3 may result in more uniform drainage. Those skilled in the art can make a reasonable choice.

[0029] In the above operating methods, the separation methods of the liquid separation mechanism 5 and the drip tube 4 are different in different embodiments. In embodiment 1, the separation block 51 can be directly broken or twisted off. In embodiment 2, the separation handle 52 can be rotated, and the separation handle 52 drives the separation cap 53 to be disconnected from the drip tube 4 together. In embodiment 3, the screw-on sleeve 54 can be directly rotated to separate them.

[0030] This invention integrates urine collection, transportation, and drip detection, eliminating the need for additional urine collection containers and urine transfer tubes. This simplifies the complexity of traditional devices, improves the convenience of carrying and using them, reduces packaging area, enhances transportation convenience, and lowers processing costs for enterprises.

[0031] When a user performs urine testing, the invention first removes the sealing sleeve 3, separating it from the connecting sleeve 1, exposing the outer end of the absorbent liquid 2. The absorbent liquid 2 then comes into contact with the urine, allowing direct contact collection during urination, ensuring the absorbent liquid 2 fully absorbs the urine. After collection, the sealing sleeve 3 is sealed to the upper end of the connecting sleeve 1 for easy sealing, storage, and transportation of the absorbent liquid 2. When drip testing is required, the drainage separation mechanism 5 is separated from the drip tube 4, making the lower end of the drip tube 4 open. By squeezing the side or outer end of the sealing sleeve 3, the absorbent liquid 2 is compressed. Under pressure, the urine is forced out of the absorbent liquid 2 and ultimately discharged from the drip tube 4, achieving drip testing. This entire process eliminates the need for a urine collection container, and the urine is directly inside the absorbent liquid 2, allowing for direct squeezing and discharge when testing is needed, without the need for other transfer devices. The integrated design makes operation convenient.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
