Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of urine sampling, in particular to a urine sampler. Background Art

[0002] A urine sampler is a device used to collect and test urine samples. It usually consists of a container and a collection port with a conical funnel structure. When using the sampler, male users need to hold the container with one hand and hold their genitals with the other hand and align them with the collection port of the conical funnel. During urine collection, the user not only needs to ensure that the sampler has sufficient stability, but also needs to keep the urine in the conical funnel at all times. Therefore, the actual operation requires high stability of the user's hands. However, for some elderly people and users with arm disabilities, the stability of the hands of such users and the handlebars of the sampler are relatively low. Therefore, such users often have inconveniences when using the urine sampler. During urine collection, the user's hand stability may be poor, leading to problems such as urine leakage and low sample collection efficiency.

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, some special samplers have appeared at this stage for the above-mentioned elderly people and users with disabled arms. For example, the collecting port size of the conical funnel structure is designed to be larger, or the urine sampler is directly fixed on a specific auxiliary bracket to assist the user in collecting samples, etc. However, the setting of a larger collecting port size means that more consumables are required, and the sampler is fixed on a specific bracket, which also requires costly production and installation of the bracket, and the cleaning and subsequent maintenance of the bracket also require more manpower and material resources. Therefore, in order to allow the elderly and users with disabled arms to use the urine sampler more efficiently and conveniently, the utility model provides a urine sampler to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a urine sampler which can clamp and fix the fixing sleeve together with the funnel at the user's thigh root by setting a fixing component. Therefore, the user does not need to hold the sampler personally with his hands when using the sampler. The mounting seat and the fixing sleeve are connected by a connecting tube, wherein the connecting tube can be deformed when being bent. Therefore, the user can selectively bend the connecting tube to adjust the position of the funnel according to his own situation. During the urine collection process, the user does not need to hold the funnel, but only needs to control the direction of urine outflow. Such a setting can greatly reduce the efficiency and convenience of collecting urine samples for the elderly and people with arm disabilities. By setting up a snap-on assembly, the efficiency of the user in installing the funnel on the mounting seat can be greatly improved, wherein the funnel and the mounting seat are installed in a plug-in snap-on installation manner, such an installation method can greatly improve the efficiency of the user in disassembling and assembling the funnel. Secondly, the setting of the snap-on assembly can allow the mounting seat to limit the funnel, thereby ensuring that the funnel has sufficient stability during use, thereby reducing the phenomenon of urine dripping and leakage. The above setting can solve the problem that the traditional urine sampler is not conducive to operation and use by some elderly people and users with arm disabilities.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a urine sampler, comprising a fixed sleeve 1 and a funnel 5, the bottom of the funnel 5 is rotatably connected to a sample collecting tube 6, a connecting tube 3 is inserted on the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 1, one end of the connecting tube 3 is fixedly connected to a mounting seat 4, the structure of the connecting tube 3 itself not only has a certain holding force, but also the user can deform the connecting tube 3 by bending it, a fixing component is installed on the fixed sleeve 1, the fixing component is used to fix the fixed sleeve 1 on the user's thigh, the fixing component is connected to the fixed sleeve 1, the mounting seat 4 and the funnel 5 are both installed with a clamping component, the clamping component is used to fix the relative position between the funnel 5 and the mounting seat 4, the clamping component is respectively connected to the mounting seat 4 and the funnel 5, the urine sampler provided in the present application can clamp and fix the fixed sleeve 1 together with the funnel 5 at the user's thigh root by setting a fixing component, so the user can use the present invention to collect urine samples. The user does not need to hold the sampler with his hands when collecting urine. The mounting seat 4 and the fixed sleeve 1 are connected by a connecting tube 3, wherein the connecting tube 3 can be deformed when being bent. Therefore, the user can selectively bend the connecting tube 3 to adjust the position of the funnel 5 according to his own situation. During urine collection, the user does not need to hold the funnel 5, but only needs to control the direction of urine outflow. Such a setting can greatly reduce the efficiency and convenience of urine sample collection for the elderly and people with arm disabilities. By setting a snap-on component, the efficiency of the user in installing the funnel 5 on the mounting seat 4 can be greatly improved, wherein the funnel 5 and the mounting seat 4 are installed in an insert-and-card installation manner, and such an installation manner can greatly improve the efficiency of the user in disassembling and assembling the funnel 5. Secondly, the setting of the snap-on component can allow the mounting seat 4 to limit the funnel 5, thereby ensuring that the funnel 5 has sufficient stability during use, thereby reducing the phenomenon of urine dripping and leakage.

[0033] As an implementation method in this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixing assembly includes fixing splints 2 fixedly connected to the two ends of the fixing sleeve 1, and the fixing sleeve 1 is provided with ventilation holes 7. The fixing splints 2 and the fixing sleeve 1 are an integrated structure. The fixing splints 2 have an elastic force to clamp inwards. When the user needs to fix the fixing sleeve 1 at the thigh root, the two sets of fixing splints 2 can be pried outwards, and the fixing splints 2 will expand outwards during the prying process. At this time, the user can put the fixing sleeve 1 on the outside of the thigh root. After the fixing sleeve 1 is put on, the user can stop prying the fixing splints 2 outwards, and the fixing splints 2 can restore their deformation under the action of elasticity and contact the user's thigh. At this time, under the joint limiting action of the fixing sleeve 1 and the fixing splints 2, it can be ensured that the fixing sleeve 1 is fixed to the user's thigh. The ventilation holes 7 on the surface of the fixing sleeve 1 are provided to allow ventilation to the user's thigh to prevent discomfort caused by sweating due to long-term wearing.

[0034] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a weakening groove 9 is provided on the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 1, and the weakening groove 9 is symmetrically provided at the connection position between the fixed sleeve 1 and the fixed splint 2. Because the weakening groove 9 is provided at the connection position between the fixed sleeve 1 and the fixed splint 2, when the operator pries the fixed splint 2 outward, the fixed splint 2 will be deformed from the position where the weakening groove 9 is provided. This arrangement is intended to make it easier for the operator to pry open the fixed splint 2, thereby improving the wearing efficiency of the fixed sleeve 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixed sleeve 1 is in a C-shaped structure, and the fixed sleeve 1 is a structure with a larger top and a smaller bottom, and the middle of the fixed sleeve 1 is an arc-shaped structure that bends inwardly. The C-shaped structure of the fixed sleeve 1 can facilitate the user to pry open the fixed splint 2 and directly put it on the thigh with the help of its C-shaped open structure. Moreover, the C-shaped structure allows the fixed sleeve 1 itself to have a certain elasticity, so that the fixed sleeve 1 can expand and deform, which is suitable for people with different thigh sizes, thereby improving the application range of the sampler. The structure of the fixed sleeve 1 with a larger top and a smaller bottom is more compatible with the contour of the human thigh. Such a setting can not only improve the fit of the fixed sleeve 1 to the user's thigh after wearing it, but also improve the comfort of the user's thigh. Since the fixed sleeve 1 has an inwardly bent mutual structure in the middle, the fixed sleeve 1 at the arc-shaped structure can provide an inward clamping force to the user's thigh, thereby ensuring that the fixed sleeve 1 has sufficient stability after the installation is completed.

[0036] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing rib 8 matching the shape of the fixing sleeve 1 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing splint 2. The reinforcing rib 8 is provided to improve the strength and anti-slip effect of the fixing splint 2. Because the reinforcing ribs 8 are in the shape of strips and are distributed in a linear array, the friction between the fixing splint 2 and the user's thigh can be increased, thereby improving the anti-slip effect of the fixing splint 2. The above arrangement makes the fixing splint 2 not only strong under the action of the reinforcing ribs 8, but also not easy to slip or dislocate on the user's thigh.

[0037] As an implementation method in this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the clamping assembly includes a conical bracket 10 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting seat 4 and adapted to the shape of the funnel 5, a positioning plug 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the funnel 5, and an adapting groove 12 adapted to the shape of the positioning plug 11 is opened on the inner wall of the mounting seat 4. The funnel 5 and the mounting seat 4 are connected through the positioning plug 11 and the adapting groove 12. When the user needs to fix the funnel 5 on the mounting seat 4, it is only necessary to insert the bottom of the funnel 5 into the top of the mounting seat 4. During the plugging process, the user needs to align the positioning plug 11 with the adapting groove 12 at the top of the mounting seat 4. Since the positioning plug 11 is aligned with the adapting groove 12 at the top of the mounting seat 4, the funnel 5 and the mounting seat 4 are connected by the positioning plug 11 and the adapting groove 12. The shapes of the block 11 and the adapter groove 12 are adapted to each other, so when the positioning block 11 is inserted into the adapter groove 12, the two can limit each other with the help of structural characteristics, thereby achieving the fixing effect of the funnel 5. It is worth mentioning that since the shapes of the conical bracket 10 and the bottom of the funnel 5 are adapted to each other, when the funnel 5 is inserted into the top of the mounting seat 4, the conical bracket 10 can support and limit the funnel 5. Such a setting can greatly improve the stability of the installation of the funnel 5, thereby preventing the funnel 5 from slipping and falling during the urine collection process.

[0038] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a card block 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning block 11, and a card slot 14 matching the shape of the card block 13 is opened on the inner wall of the adapting groove 12. The card block 13 is arranged on the outer wall of the positioning block 11, and the card slot 14 matching its shape is opened on the inner wall of the adapting groove 12. When the positioning block 11 is inserted into the adapting groove 12, the card block 13 will be snapped into the card slot 14. After the card block 13 is snapped into the card slot 14, the two can be limited by means of structural characteristics. Therefore, such a setting can further improve the stability of the funnel 5 installed on the mounting seat 4.

[0039] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning block 11 and the adapter groove 12 are distributed in a circular array, and the end of the positioning block 11 is an arc-shaped structure. The setting of the arc-shaped structure at the bottom of the positioning block 11 allows the user to more easily locate the positions of the positioning block 11 and the adapter groove 12 when installing the funnel 5. In addition, when the positioning block 11 is inserted into the adapter groove 12, the setting of the arc-shaped structure can guide the positioning block 11, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of the installation process of the funnel 5.

[0040] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a lightweight groove is provided on the conical bracket 10 , and the funnel 5 and the sample collecting tube 6 are connected by threads. The provision of the lightweight groove can reduce the weight and production cost of the conical bracket 10 .

[0041] The working principle provided by the utility model is that when in use, the user first prys the two sets of fixing splints 2 outward to expand the fixing splints 2 outward, and then sleeves the fixing sleeve 1 onto the outer side of the thigh root. After the fixing sleeve 1 is sleeved, the user stops prying the fixing splint 2 outward to allow the fixing splint 2 to recover its deformation and contact the user's thigh. At this time, under the joint limiting action of the fixing sleeve 1 and the fixing splint 2, the fixing sleeve 1 can be ensured to be fixed on the user's thigh. After the fixing sleeve 1 is fixed, the user prys the connecting tube 3 and the mounting seat 4 to adjust the position and angle of the funnel 5. After the position of the funnel 5 is determined, the user can collect urine specimens with the help of the funnel 5, and the urine collected from the leak will enter the sample collection tube 6. After the sample is collected, the user first unscrews the sample collection tube 6 from the bottom of the funnel 5 (the sample collection tube 6 can be directly handed over to medical staff for detection after being removed), and then prys the fixing splint 2 again to remove the fixing sleeve 1 from the thigh. The present invention covers any substitution, modification, equivalent method and scheme made on the essence and scope of the present invention. In order to make the public have a thorough understanding of the present invention, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can fully understand the present invention without the description of these details. In addition, in order to avoid unnecessary confusion about the essence of the present invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components and circuits are not described in detail.

[0042] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
