Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] When a doctor needs to further understand a patient's condition, he or she will often need a urine test report from the patient to assist in making a comprehensive judgment. Usually, urine is first collected in a urine cup, and the urine in the cup is introduced into the test tube. If the sample is sent for testing too slowly, the accuracy of the test report will be reduced. For example, for a routine urine test, under normal circumstances, it is generally recommended that the patient send the urine sample for testing as soon as possible, no later than one hour. This is because sending the sample for testing within one hour can ensure the accuracy of the test results. However, if it exceeds one hour, the cellular components in the urine may be affected by the pH value and specific gravity of the urine and dissolve, which can easily lead to inaccurate test results.

[0003] For example, in special circumstances such as hot summer, urine samples for routine urinalysis should not be sent for testing for more than 30 minutes to avoid corruption, decomposition, or contamination of the urine sample. In actual work, there are often patients who are bedridden at home, and the urine sample is sent for testing overtime after collection. Or hospitalized patients, after collecting urine, do not immediately hand over the sample to the sample inspector, which will cause the sample to be sent for testing overtime. If the laboratory staff receives the sample and performs the test without asking in time or knowing the sample, it will result in the issuance of an inaccurate test report, which will not provide good auxiliary diagnosis for the clinic. In serious cases, it will cause the clinician to misdiagnose, resulting in unnecessary medical accidents. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a urine sampling tube to solve the technical problem that the existing urine collecting tube cannot conveniently record the collection time of the urine specimen stored therein.

[0005] The utility model discloses a urine sampling tube, which includes a urine retention tube, a sealing cover, and a timing assembly. The urine retention tube includes a urine retention cavity; the sealing cover includes a accommodating cavity and a sealing member arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the sealing member is movably connected to the sealing cover; the timing assembly includes a circuit board and a display screen, the circuit board is arranged in the accommodating cavity, the display screen is arranged on the top of the sealing cover, and the display screen is electrically connected to the circuit board; two oppositely arranged terminal posts are provided on the circuit board; a metal sheet is provided at one end of the sealing member close to the terminal posts; wherein, as the sealing cover is tightened on the urine retention tube, the metal sheet moves toward the circuit board along with the sealing member and contacts the two terminal posts.

[0006] Furthermore, a partition is provided in the accommodating cavity; the sealing member is provided with one end of the metal sheet passing through the partition to the position where the wiring post is provided on the circuit board.

[0007] Furthermore, a return spring is provided between the sealing member and the partition.

[0008] Furthermore, a side of the seal facing the partition and a side of the partition facing the seal are both provided with a limiting column; one end of the return spring is sleeved on the limiting column of the seal, and the other end of the return spring is sleeved on the limiting column of the partition.

[0009] Furthermore, a rubber plug is provided between the sealing member and the partition.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing member includes an elastic pad and a guide column, and a sealing groove for accommodating the opening of the urinary tube is provided on one side of the elastic pad; one end of the guide column is provided on the side of the elastic pad away from the sealing groove; the other end of the guide column is provided with the metal sheet, and passes through the partition to the place where the wiring post is provided on the circuit board.

[0014] The urine sampling tube provided by the utility model can achieve the following technical effects:

[0015] 1. The utility model sets the timing component on the sealing cover and combines it with the process of collecting urine samples. It is only necessary to tighten the urine retention tube and move the seal in the sealing cover. After the rotation of the urine retention tube is completed, the seal completes the final seal on the urine retention tube. At this time, the metal sheet on the seal acts as a switch. The metal sheet connects the two terminals and starts timing on the display screen. The time displayed on the display screen is the duration of urine sample collection, which is convenient for medical personnel to control the collection duration of the urine sample and determine whether the urine sample is qualified based on the time displayed on the display screen. This will not cause urine contamination and can accurately record the urine collection time. After the urine sample is tested, it is only necessary to put the urine retention tube into the medical waste disposal box and the sealing cover into the recycling box. After unified disinfection and sterilization, it can be reused, saving medical resources.

[0016] 2. By providing a snap-in hole for accommodating the button battery on the sealing plug and inserting the sealing plug into the battery cavity, the button battery can be easily replaced, thereby reducing the subsequent maintenance cost of the sealing cover and facilitating long-term use.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model discloses a urine sampling tube, which includes a urine retention tube 1, a sealing cover 2, and a timing assembly 3. The urine retention tube 1 is made of a transparent plastic material, for example, polystyrene. A urine retention cavity 11 is constructed inside the urine retention tube 1, and scale lines 12 are engraved on the outer surface of the urine retention tube 1. The scale lines 12 are used to indicate the amount of urine collected. The cavity opening of the urine retention cavity 11 can be regarded as the tube opening of the urine retention tube 1. The outer surface of the urine retention tube 1 is also constructed with an external thread, which is located at the tube opening of the urine retention tube 1.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the sealing cover 2 includes a sealing member 5. A accommodating chamber 21 is constructed within the sealing cover 2, and a partition 22 is constructed within the accommodating chamber 21. The partition 22 is located in the middle of the accommodating chamber 21 and divides the accommodating chamber 21 into upper and lower layers. The upper layer comprises a first sub-chamber 23, and the lower layer comprises a second sub-chamber 24. The opening of the second sub-chamber 24 is internally threaded. The external threads of the urinary catheter 1 mate with the internal threads of the sealing cover 2 to achieve a threaded connection between the two. A mounting hole 25 is centrally formed in the partition 22, connecting the first sub-chamber 23 with the second sub-chamber 24. A rubber stopper 4 is disposed within the mounting hole 25. Both ends of the rubber stopper 4 are provided with snap-fitting edges 41. When the rubber stopper 4 is positioned within the mounting hole 25, the snap-fitting edges 41 contact the upper and lower sides of the partition 22, respectively, thereby securing the rubber stopper 4 to the partition 22 via snap-fitting. A through hole 42 is formed at the center of the rubber stopper 4 .

[0034] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, the seal 5 includes an elastic pad 51 and a guide post 52. The elastic pad 51 can be made of rubber. A sealing groove 53 is formed on one side of the elastic pad 51. The sealing groove 53 is used to accommodate and seal the orifice of the urinary retention catheter 1, preventing urine from spilling out of the catheter 1. Optionally, the notch of the sealing groove 53 is chamfered 54 to facilitate smooth entry of the orifice of the urinary retention catheter 1 into the sealing groove 53. The other side of the elastic pad 51 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide post 52. A metal sheet 55, such as a copper sheet, is provided at the other end of the guide post 52 and is adhesively secured to the other end surface of the guide post 52. When the seal 5 is installed in the accommodating cavity 21, the elastic pad 51 is located in the second sub-cavity 24. The end of the guide post 52 provided with the metal sheet 55 extends through the through-hole 42 of the rubber stopper 4 into the first sub-cavity 23. The seal 5 is slidably connected to the sealing cover 2 via the guide post 52. At this time, the rubber plug 4 is located between the sealing member 5 and the partition 22, playing a role of sealing and waterproofing.

[0035] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, a return spring 61 is provided between the seal 5 and the partition 22. The side of the elastic pad 51 on which the guide post 52 is provided is the side of the seal 5 facing the partition 22, and the side of the elastic pad 51 on which the guide post 52 is provided is constructed with a limit post 62. Correspondingly, the side of the partition 22 facing the elastic pad 51 is the side of the partition 22 facing the seal 5, and the side of the partition 22 facing the elastic pad 51 is also constructed with a limit post 62. The limit posts 62 on the partition 22 correspond one-to-one with the limit posts 62 on the elastic pad 51. One end of the return spring 61 is sleeved onto the limit post 62 on the elastic pad 51, and the other end of the return spring 61 is sleeved onto the limit post 62 on the partition 22. This facilitates the resetting of the elastic pad 51 of the seal 5.

[0036] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple return springs 61 , and the multiple return springs 61 are evenly arranged around the guide column 52 , which can enable the elastic pad 51 of the seal 5 to be reset more stably.

[0037] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, the timing assembly 3 includes a circuit board 31, a display screen 32, and a button battery 33. The circuit board 31 is arranged in the first sub-cavity 23, and the circuit board 31 is fixed to the top of the first sub-cavity 23 with screws. A square hole 34 is constructed on the top of the sealing cover 2, and the first sub-cavity 23 is connected to the outside through the square hole 34. The shape of the square hole 34 is adapted to the shape of the display screen 32. The display screen 32 is arranged on the circuit board 31, and the display screen 32 is electrically connected to the circuit board 31. The side of the display screen 32 used for displaying time is exposed to the outside of the first sub-cavity 23 through the square hole 34. Two terminals 35 are constructed on the circuit board 31, and the two terminals 35 are arranged opposite to each other. The positions of the two terminals 35 correspond to the guide posts 52, so that the metal sheet 55 on the guide post 52 can contact the two terminals 35 and form a path for the circuit on the circuit board 31. The top of the sealing cover 2 is recessed into the first sub-cavity 23 to form a battery cavity 26 for accommodating a button battery 33. An electrode column 27 is constructed on the two opposite side walls of the battery cavity 26, and both electrode columns 27 are electrically connected to the circuit board 31. The button battery 33 is disposed in the battery cavity 26, that is, the button battery 33 is electrically connected to the circuit board 31 through the electrode columns 27. In the embodiment of the present utility model, with respect to the specific arrangement of the circuit board 31, the display screen 32, the button battery 33, the electrode columns 27, the terminal 35, and the metal sheet 55, those skilled in the art can complete the electrical connection of these components based on their experience to ensure that when the metal sheet 55 contacts the two terminal columns 35, the button battery 33 can power the display screen 32 and allow the display screen 32 to start timing.

[0038] Alternatively, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, a sealing plug 63 is provided at the opening of the battery cavity 26. The sealing plug 63 is made of a rubber material. A snap-in hole 64 is formed in the middle of the sealing plug 63 to accommodate the button battery 33. During use, the button battery 33 is first placed in the snap-in hole 64, and then the sealing plug 63 is inserted into the battery cavity 26. This removable connection between the button battery 33 and the top of the sealing cover 2 is achieved. At this point, the positive and negative electrodes of the button battery 33 are respectively in contact with the two electrode posts 27.

[0039] Application scenario of an exemplary embodiment:

[0040] As shown in the figure, the patient pours urine into the urine retention cavity 11 of the urinary catheter 1 using a measuring cup. The sealing cap 2 is then placed over the opening of the urinary catheter 1. The opening of the urinary catheter 1 now enters the sealing groove 53 of the elastic pad 51. The rubber-made elastic pad 51 facilitates the sealing of the opening of the urinary catheter 1 by the seal 5. The urinary catheter 1 is then twisted toward the sealing cap 2. As the urinary catheter 1 moves, the elastic pad 51 moves toward the partition 22. The elastic pad 51 compresses the return spring 61, compressing it. This exerts pressure on the elastic pad 51, further enhancing its sealing effect on the opening of the urinary catheter 1. Simultaneously, the elastic pad 51 drives the guide post 52 toward the two terminal posts 35. The metal sheet 55 on the guide post 52 then contacts the two terminal posts 35, completing the circuit path on the circuit board 31. The display 32 begins counting time. This means that the patient has successfully collected urine. The patient only needs to place the urine collection tube on the holder designated by the hospital for urine sample collection. This makes it easier for medical staff to accurately understand the time of urine sample collection.
