DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0033] The present application embodiment discloses a portable urine collection bag. Figure 1 and Figure 2A portable urine collection bag comprises a bag body 1, a drainage tube 2 and a liquid guide connector 3. The liquid guide connector 2 is used to be inserted into the urinary catheter 7. One end of the drainage tube 2 is connected to the bag body 1, and the other end is connected to the liquid guide connector 3. An easy-tear strip 4 is arranged outside the liquid guide connector 3, and the end of the easy-tear strip 4 away from the urinary catheter 7 is fixedly connected to the liquid guide connector 3. The liquid conduction connector 3 is inserted into the urinary catheter 7, and part of the easy-tear strip 4 is located in the urinary catheter 7, and the side of the easy-tear strip 4 away from the liquid conduction connector 3 is against the inner side of the urinary catheter 7, and the free end of the easy-tear strip 4 leaks out of the urinary catheter 7; when the operator replaces the urine collecting bag, the operator can first pull the free end of the easy-tear strip 4 and make the easy-tear strip 4 away from the liquid conduction connector 3, and the easy-tear strip 4 can drive the urinary catheter 7 to be removed from the liquid conduction connector 3, thereby removing the liquid conduction connector 3 from the urinary catheter 7, so as to facilitate the operator to insert the new liquid conduction connector 3 into the urinary catheter 7, which overall improves the problem of the inconvenience of replacing the urine collecting bag when the patient is at home.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The urinary catheter 7 is a rubber tube, the liquid guide connector 3 and the tear strip 4 can both be plastic structural parts, and the liquid guide connector 3 can be integrally fixedly connected with the tear strip 4. The liquid guide connector 3 includes a circular tube section and a tapered section, both of which are hollow tubes, the outer diameter of the tapered section is not greater than the outer diameter of the circular tube section, the circular tube section and the tapered section are coaxially connected, and the circular tube section is located between the tapered section and the drainage tube 2.

[0035] When the operator inserts the liquid-conducting connector 3 into the urinary catheter 7, the operator first inserts the tapered section into the urinary catheter 7, which can be conveniently inserted into the urinary catheter 7; the operator then inserts the round tube section into the urinary catheter 7, and the outer diameter of the round tube section is larger than the inner diameter of the urinary catheter 7 when it is contracted, so that the outer side of the round tube section abuts against the inner side of the urinary catheter 7, thereby improving the sealing effect of the plug-in installation between the liquid-conducting connector 3 and the urinary catheter 7.

[0036] The outer side of the circular tube section of the liquid-conducting connector 3 is provided with a mounting groove 31 for accommodating the tear strip 4. The width of the tear strip 4 matches the width of the mounting groove 31. The tear strip 4 is connected to an inner side wall of the mounting groove 31 away from the drainage tube 2. When the liquid-conducting connector 3 is inserted into the urinary catheter 7, the tear strip 4 is located in the mounting groove 31; the mounting groove 31 can reduce the movement of the tear strip 4, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of the connection between the liquid-conducting connector 3 and the urinary catheter 7.

[0037] The length direction of the installation groove 31 can be consistent with the length direction of the liquid-conducting joint 3, and accordingly, the length direction of the tear strip 4 is consistent with the length direction of the liquid-conducting joint 3. Alternatively, the installation groove 31 can also be spirally wound along the length direction of the liquid-conducting joint 3, and when the tear strip 4 is installed in the installation groove 31, the tear strip 4 can be made to wrap around the liquid-conducting joint 3, which is convenient for increasing the length of the tear strip 4 and facilitating the operator to pull the tear strip 4 with less effort.

[0038] Two or more installation grooves 31 may be provided around the circumference of the liquid-conducting joint 3 , and two or more easy-tear strips 4 may be provided corresponding to the installation grooves 31 one by one.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 The first reinforcing teeth 32 are provided on the two opposite inner side walls of the installation groove 31 along the extension direction of the installation groove 31, and the second reinforcing teeth 41 are provided on the opposite sides of the tear strip 4 along the extension direction thereof, and the first reinforcing teeth 32 and the second reinforcing teeth 41 are adapted to each other. When the tear strip 4 is placed in the installation groove 31, the first reinforcing teeth 32 and the second reinforcing teeth 41 are meshed, which reduces the tear strip 4 from falling out of the installation groove 31, and is conducive to improving the stability of the tear strip 4 installed in the installation groove 31.

[0040] When replacing the urine collection bag, in order to facilitate pulling the tear strip 4 out of the mounting groove 31, the length of the tear strip 4 is greater than the length of the mounting groove 31. When the tear strip 4 is in the mounting groove 31, part of the tear strip 4 can be exposed from the mounting groove 31. The operator first pinches the part of the tear strip 4 exposed from the mounting groove 31, and then pulls the tear strip 4 outward, so that the operator can pull the tear strip 4 out of the mounting groove 31 more conveniently.

[0041] The side of the tear strip 4 away from the installation groove 31 is in an arc surface. When the tear strip 4 is installed in the installation groove 31, the side of the tear strip 4 away from the installation groove 31 is flush with the outer surface of the circular tube section of the liquid-conducting connector 3. When the tear strip 4 is located in the installation groove 31, the gap between the tear strip 4 and the installation groove 31 is reduced. When the urinary catheter 7 is sleeved on the liquid-conducting connector 3, the gap between the urinary catheter 7 and the tear strip 4 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the sealing effect of the connection between the urinary catheter 7 and the liquid-conducting connector 3.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drainage tube 2 includes a telescopic section 21 and a connecting section 22. The connecting section 22 is a plastic round tube. The telescopic section 21 and the connecting section 22 are integrally connected and communicated. The connecting section 22 is located on the upper side of the telescopic section 21, and the upper end of the connecting section 22 is connected to the liquid guide connector 3. The lower end of the telescopic section 21 is connected to the upper side of the bag body 1. When the patient adjusts the position of the bag body 1, the telescopic section 21 can be extended and retracted; when the operator moves the urine collection bag up and close to the bladder, the telescopic section 21 contracts, reducing the length of the drainage tube 2, which is beneficial to reducing the entanglement of the drainage tube 2. It is convenient for the operator to carry the urine collection bag with him.

[0043] The telescopic section 21 includes a bellows, which has good elasticity and can be expanded and contracted with the movement of the position of the bag body 1. The bellows is a transparent tube, which is convenient for operators or patients to observe whether there is urine residue in the bellows. Alternatively, the telescopic section 21 can also be a spiral tube, which is a transparent tube with good elasticity. After urine flows into the spiral tube, the urine can flow down along the spiral tube into the bag body 1.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 The lower end of the telescopic section 21 is connected to the upper side of the bag body 1, and the height difference between the upper side and the lower side of the bag body 1 is the width of the bag body 1, that is, the bag body 1 is flat. When the patient carries the urine collection bag, it is helpful to reduce the downward exposure of the bag body 1, which is convenient for the patient to hide the urine collection bag, thereby reducing the embarrassment of the patient caused by the exposure of the urine collection bag, and is conducive to the portability of the urine collection bag.

[0045] The volume of the bag body 1 can be one thousand milliliters, and the bag body 1 can be rectangular or elliptical; when the bag body 1 is elliptical, the length direction of the bag body 1 is parallel to the direction of the long semi-axis of the bag body 1, and the bag body 1 has fewer edges and corners, which is conducive to improving the comfort of patients when carrying it.

[0046] The lower side of the bag body 1 is connected with a urinary tube 5, the urinary tube 5 and the telescopic section 21 are respectively located on opposite sides of the bag body 1, and a discharge switch 6 is installed on the urinary tube 5. When the patient opens the discharge switch 6, the urine in the bag body 1 can be discharged from the urinary tube 5; when the patient closes the discharge switch 6, the urine can be accumulated in the bag body 1.

[0047] The implementation principle of a portable urine collection bag in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the liquid conduction connector 3 is inserted into the urinary catheter 7, a part of the easy-tear strip 4 is located in the urinary catheter 7, and the free end of the easy-tear strip 4 is exposed from the urinary catheter 7; when the operator replaces the urine collection bag, the operator can first pull the free end of the easy-tear strip 4 and make the easy-tear strip 4 away from the liquid conduction connector 3, and the easy-tear strip 4 can drive the urinary catheter 7 to be removed from the liquid conduction connector 3, thereby facilitating the operator to insert the new liquid conduction connector 3 into the urinary catheter 7, which overall improves the problem of the inconvenience of replacing the urine collection bag when the patient is at home.
