[0041] The present embodiment provides a random urine collection device, which is convenient and easy to assemble and disassemble, easy to clean and maintain, and can separate feces and urine to collect mouse urine in large quantities.

[0042] In this embodiment, two bin body assemblies 200 and two drawer assemblies 300 are provided in the main body 100, and a drawer assembly 300 is provided under each bin body assembly 200, wherein the multiple bins of each bin body assembly 200 are arranged in a 4×3 matrix form. It can be understood that the number of collection assemblies is 12.

[0043] In this embodiment, a slide groove is provided on the inner wall of the main body 100, and the drawer includes a drawer base 305 and side panels arranged on both sides of the drawer base 305. The side panels extend along the length direction of the drawer base 305 to form a sliding part, and the sliding part slides in the slide groove.

[0044] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 The shape of the bin body 202 is conical. Since the mice used for the experiment need to be put in from the top of the bin body 202 and the urine is collected from the bottom of the bin body 202, the opening at the top of the bin body 202 is larger than the opening at the bottom of the bin body 202.

[0045] Furthermore, the material of the warehouse body 202 is PPSU (polyphenylene sulfone resin), which can withstand repeated steam sterilization; from the design perspective of animal care, the warehouse body 202 can be designed to be brown and translucent, which can give the mice in the warehouse body 202 a certain sense of security, reduce the impact of hormonal changes caused by emotional fluctuations on the test results, reduce the anxiety of the mice, and facilitate the observation of the dynamics of the mice.

[0046] In this embodiment, an isolation net (not shown in the figure) is provided in the bin body 202 near the bottom of the bin body 202. The isolation net is built into the bin body 202 to prevent feces from falling into the collection tube 301 and contaminating urine, and it is relatively convenient to replace the damaged old isolation net.

[0047] In this embodiment, a bracket 204 is provided at the bottom of the lower panel 203, and a partition 205 is detachably installed on the bracket 204, and the partition 205 is used to separate the bin body 202 and the collection assembly.

[0048] In this embodiment, the collecting assembly includes a tube rack 302 , a collecting tube 301 disposed on the tube rack 302 , and a liquid volume sensor 303 disposed at the bottom of the collecting tube 301 . The liquid volume sensor 303 is used to monitor the volume of the liquid in the collecting tube 301 .

[0049] Specifically, the tube rack 302 is provided with a slot for clamping the collection tube 301 .

[0050] Furthermore, a sensor protection baffle 304 is provided at the bottom of the liquid volume sensor 303. The combination of the sensor protection baffle 304 and the tube rack 302 forms a precision protection structure of the liquid volume sensor 303, which can ensure that the operation of the liquid volume sensor 303 is not disturbed.

[0051] In this embodiment, an observation panel 306 is provided on the side of the drawer, and the observation panel 306 is provided with a plurality of urine collection status indicator lights 307 for indicating the collection status of the collection tube 301 and a power-on indicator light 308 for indicating the power-on status of the main body 100. For example, if there are 12 collection components, then there are 12 urine collection status indicator lights 307, one urine collection status indicator light 307 corresponds to one collection component, and the urine collection status indicator light 307 has a collection status indication function.

[0052] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0053] A mouse is placed in the bin 202. When the amount of mouse urine in the bin 202 dripping into the collection tube 301 reaches a preset amount, such as 60 μL, the corresponding urine collection status indicator 307 on the observation panel 306 lights up, and the collection tube 301 can be collected.

[0054] When collecting the collection tubes 301 , first insert the partition 205 into the bracket 204 , then take out the bin assembly 200 , and then collect the collection tubes 301 in the drawer assembly 300 in batches.
