Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of urine detection, and in particular to a urine sampling cup for extracting midstream urine samples. Background Art

[0002] First-pass urine is the urine discharged at the beginning of urination, and mid-pass urine is the urine sample that passes the first part after urination. Since first-pass urine is not representative when medical sampling and testing is performed, the best sample for analysis is mid-pass urine.

[0003] Urinalysis is one of the important analytical projects in modern medicine. Traditional medical urine sampling cups usually adopt a single-cup structure, which can easily cause confusion between first-pass urine and mid-pass urine during medical sampling. For patients, the operation of collecting first-pass urine is complicated and cannot be supervised or judged. Utility Model Content

[0004] Purpose of this utility model patent: In order to solve the problem that traditional medical sampling urine cups usually adopt a single cup structure, which easily causes confusion between first-pass urine and mid-pass urine during medical sampling, and makes the operation of collecting first-pass urine complicated for patients and impossible to supervise and judge, this utility model proposes a sampling urine cup for extracting mid-pass urine samples.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a urine sampling cup for extracting a midstream urine sample comprises a urine cup body;

[0006] A handle is provided on the top of one side of the urine cup body, and a urine outlet is provided on the top of the other side of the urine cup body. A urinary catheter extending to the outside of the urine cup body is provided at the urine outlet. A partition is provided in the middle of the inner side of the urine cup body and is inclined downward from the urine outlet to the handle. A gap is left between the lowest end of the partition and the inner wall of the urine cup body. The lowest end of the partition is provided with an edge extending downward, and both sides of the edge are connected to the inner wall of the urine cup body.

[0007] Furthermore, the urinary catheter is inclined downward from the inlet end to the outlet end.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the urinary catheter gradually narrows from the inlet end to the outlet end.

[0009] Furthermore, the top end surface of the urine cup body is a concave arc-shaped end surface.

[0010] Furthermore, a hole for inserting an index finger is provided in the middle of the handle.

[0011] Furthermore, a thumb pressing groove is provided on the top of the handle.

[0012] Furthermore, a middle finger limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the handle.

[0013] Furthermore, a splash-proof rim is provided at the top of the inner wall of the urine cup body.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The new urine cup structure proposed by the present invention can realize automatic separation of first-pass urine and mid-pass urine, making it more convenient for patients to use and simplifying the work of medical staff.

[0015] The partition adopts an inclined design. After the urine sample is collected, the initial urine is separated in the chamber below the partition and does not flow out during the process of pouring the urine into the test tube, thereby realizing the extraction of the middle urine sample.

[0016] At the beginning of sampling, urine first drips onto the inclined partition, and flows into the lower part of the partition (the first-pass urine chamber) through the gap between the lowest end of the partition and the inner wall of the urine cup body (the opening near the handle). The inclined partition is conducive to the downward flow of the first-pass urine and can also form an air cavity (such as Figure 3 ); When sampling continues, the midstream urine will remain above the partition (midstream urine chamber) (such as Figure 4 ); After sampling is completed, when the urine is poured from the sampling cup into the test tube through the catheter, the urine cup body is tilted, the urine stored above the partition will flow into the test tube, and the urine below the partition will be separated below the partition, and part of the urine will automatically fill the air cavity, reducing the proportion of the first-stage urine mixed into the middle-stage urine, making the sampling more accurate (such as Figure 5 ).

[0022] Specific implementation method 1: A urine sampling cup for extracting midstream urine samples, comprising a urine cup body 1;

[0023] A handle 2 is provided at the top of one side of the urine cup body 1, and a urine outlet 3 is provided at the top of the other side of the urine cup body 1. A urinary catheter 4 extending to the outside of the urine cup body 1 is provided at the urine outlet 3. A partition 5 is provided in the middle of the inner side of the urine cup body 1 and is inclined downward from the urine outlet 3 to the handle 2. A gap is left between the lowest end of the partition 5 and the inner wall of the urine cup body 1. The lowest end of the partition 5 is provided with an edge 6 extending downward, and both sides of the edge 6 are connected to the inner wall of the urine cup body 1.

[0024] In this embodiment: the top handle on one side of the urine cup body is grasped by the user, and the urine outlet on the other side of the urine cup body is used to pour urine into a test tube;

[0025] During use, urine enters the top of the urine cup body, flows through the gap between the lowest end of the partition and the inner wall of the urine cup body, and enters the initial urine chamber below the partition of the urine cup body. When the urine reaches the lowest end of the partition, the urine continues to enter the middle urine chamber above the partition of the urine cup body. At this time, since the partition is inclined downward from the urine outlet to the handle, a partial cavity is formed under the partition. The edge setting allows the cavity to be formed in advance, increasing the volume of the cavity. After sampling is completed, when the urine is poured from the sampling urine cup through the catheter into the test tube, the urine cup body is tilted, the urine stored above the partition will flow into the test tube, and the urine below the partition will be separated under the partition, and part of the urine will automatically fill the air cavity, reducing the proportion of initial urine mixed in the middle urine, making sampling more accurate.

[0026] Specific implementation method 2: A urine sampling cup for extracting midstream urine samples, wherein the urinary catheter 4 is inclined downward from the inlet end to the outlet end.
