Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a test tube, in particular to a urine collection test tube. Background Art
[0002] In hospitals, when patients need to do urine tests such as urinalysis, urine cups and urine test tubes are often used. When patients collect urine, they first discharge the urine into the urine cup, then pour an appropriate amount of urine from the urine cup into the urine test tube, and then send the urine test tube to the laboratory for inspection. Some urine test tubes do not have tube covers. Generally, there is a certain distance between the toilet and the laboratory. During the inspection process, the urine is completely exposed to the air, and bacteria in the air often contaminate the urine. In addition, accidents may occur, such as collisions, which can easily cause urine to spill from the test tube, not only polluting the environment but also causing the loss of urine specimens and affecting the inspection. Some urine test tubes have tube covers, but some of the tube covers are connected to the test tubes through threads, or are tightly inserted into the tube mouth of the test tube. It takes a certain amount of time or effort to open the tube cover, and generally requires two hands to open it, which is inconvenient.
[0003] In view of the above problems, the utility model provides a urine collection test tube, which is different from the existing urine test tube with a tube cover in structure and can not only prevent urine from spilling, but also facilitate opening of the tube cover. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model provides a urine collection test tube, which adopts the following technical scheme:
[0005] A urine collection test tube comprises a test tube body with an opening at the upper end and a tube cover arranged at the opening of the test tube body; its distinguishing feature is that one end of the tube cover is connected to the side wall of the opening of the test tube body by a hinge, a torsion spring is arranged on the hinge shaft of the hinge, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the tube cover, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the test tube body; a switch assembly is arranged at the end opposite to the hinge, the switch assembly is arranged on the side wall of the tube cover and the side wall of the test tube body, and after the tube cover is rotatably covered on the opening of the test tube body, the switch assembly is used to fix the connection between the tube cover and the test tube body, or disconnect the connection between the tube cover and the test tube body.
[0006] Furthermore, the switch assembly includes a fixed plate, a side plate, a rotating plate and a spring; the fixed plate is arranged on the side wall of the tube cover; there are two side plates, which are arranged parallel and spaced apart on the side wall of the test tube body; the rotating plate is arranged between the two side plates, and includes a vertical plate and a pressure plate, the two sides of the middle of the vertical plate are respectively hinged to the plate surfaces of the two side plates, the pressure plate is arranged at the upper end of the vertical plate, and the vertical plate can be rotated to press the pressure plate tightly against the fixed plate; the spring is connected between the plate surface at the lower end of the vertical plate and the side wall of the test tube body.
[0007] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0008] The urine collection test tube provided by the utility model has a tube cover that covers the opening of the test tube body, and the torsion spring generates elastic force. The connection between the tube cover and the test tube body can be disconnected through the switch assembly, and the torsion spring releases the elastic force. Under the action of the elastic force, the tube cover flips outward, thereby opening the tube cover, which has the advantage of being convenient to open the tube cover. After the patient pours urine into the test tube body, the tube cover is covered on the tube mouth of the test tube, and then the tube cover and the test tube body are connected through the switch assembly to prevent the tube cover from being opened. During the inspection process, the urine in the test tube body is not easily contaminated and will not spill outward. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The utility model is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model. Without departing from the design spirit of the utility model, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solution of the utility model by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0018] Example 1
[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the urine collection test tube of this embodiment comprises a test tube body 1 with an opening at the upper end and a tube cover 2 arranged at the opening of the test tube body 1, one end of the tube cover 2 is connected to the side wall of the opening of the test tube body 1 through a hinge 3, a torsion spring 4 is arranged on the hinge shaft of the hinge 3, one end of the torsion spring 4 is connected to the tube cover 2, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the test tube body 1. A switch assembly 5 is arranged at the end opposite to the hinge 3, and the switch assembly 5 is arranged on the side wall of the tube cover 2 and the side wall of the test tube body 1. After the tube cover 2 is rotatably covered at the opening of the test tube body 1, the switch assembly 5 is used to fix the connection between the tube cover 2 and the test tube body 1, or to disconnect the connection between the tube cover 2 and the test tube body 1, that is, when the tube cover 2 is covered at the opening of the test tube body 1, the switch assembly 5 can prevent the tube cover 2 from opening, and after the switch assembly 5 disconnects the connection between the tube cover 2 and the test tube body 1, the tube cover 2 can be flipped open.
[0020] Specifically in this embodiment, the switch assembly 5 includes a fixed plate 51, a side plate 52, a rotating plate 53 and a spring 54, wherein the fixed plate 51 is arranged on the side wall of the tube cover 2 near its lower end. Two side plates 52 are arranged, which are arranged parallel and spaced on the side wall of the test tube body 1 near its upper end. The rotating plate 53 is arranged between the two side plates 52, and includes a vertical plate 531 and a pressing plate 532. The vertical plate 531 and the pressing plate 532 constitute a "7"-shaped rotating plate 53. The two sides of the middle part of the vertical plate 531 are respectively hinged to the plate surfaces of the two side plates 52. The pressing plate 532 is arranged at the upper end of the vertical plate 531. The vertical plate 531 can rotate to make the pressing plate 532 tightly pressed on the fixed plate 51. The spring 54 is connected between the plate surface at the lower end of the vertical plate 531 and the side wall of the test tube body 1. When it is necessary to cover the tube cover 2 on the opening of the test tube body 1, first press the lower end of the vertical plate 531 with a finger to make the pressure plate 532 rotate outward and the spring 54 generates an elastic force. When the tube cover 2 is covered on the opening of the test tube body 1 (at this time, the torsion spring 4 will also generate an elastic force), release the finger pressing the pressure plate 532. Under the action of the elastic force of the spring 54, the pressure plate 532 rotates in the opposite direction. After the rotation, the pressure plate 532 is located above the fixed plate 51 and presses the fixed plate 51 tightly to prevent the tube cover 2 from rotating in the direction, that is, to prevent the tube cover 2 from opening; when it is necessary to open the tube cover 2, press the lower end of the vertical plate 531 with a finger. The pressure plate 532 will separate from the fixed plate 51 after rotation. At this time, the torsion spring 4 releases the elastic force. Under the action of the elastic force, the tube cover 2 rotates outward and is opened.
[0021] In addition, a plurality of grooves 511 are provided on the surface of the fixed plate 51, and a plurality of convex strips 533 embedded in the grooves 511 are correspondingly provided on the surface of the pressing plate 532. When the pressing plate 532 is rotated and located above the fixed plate 51, the convex strips 533 are embedded in the grooves 511 to increase the friction between the pressing plate 532 and the fixed plate 51, thereby preventing the tube cover 2 from opening by itself.
[0022] In summary, the urine collection test tube of this embodiment can easily open the tube cover 2 by pressing the lower end of the vertical plate 531, and the tube cover can be opened with one hand, which has the advantage of convenient opening of the tube cover 2. After the tube cover 2 is closed on the opening of the test tube body 1, the pressure plate 532 can prevent the tube cover 2 from opening. During the inspection process, the urine in the test tube body 1 can be prevented from being contaminated, and the urine in the test tube body 1 can be prevented from spilling.
[0023] Example 2
[0024] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, different from Example 1, the urine collection test tube of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of supporting legs 6 on the circumference of the side wall of the test tube body 1 on the basis of Example 1, and the upper end of the supporting legs 6 is hinged to the side wall of the test tube body 1, and the other end is used to support the test tube body 1 on a plane after being unfolded. When the patient discharges urine into the urine cup, it is sometimes inconvenient to carry the urine collection test tube. For example, a male patient needs to hold the reproductive organ with one hand and the urine cup with one hand, and has no other hand to hold the urine collection test tube. Then, before urinating, the plurality of supporting legs 6 of the urine collection test tube can be unfolded and supported on the placement platform, which can effectively prevent it from tipping over or rolling to the ground. After the supporting legs 6 are unfolded, the area occupied by the test tube body 1 can be expanded, and it can stand more steadily compared to directly placing the test tube body 1 on a plane.
