For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a children's urine collection device, comprising: a urine collector 1, a urine collection bag 2, a sample test tube 3 and a controller 4; the urine collector 1 is attached to the urethral orifice of a child, and the urine collector 1, the urine collection bag 2 and the sample test tube 3 are sequentially connected and communicated through a diversion tube 6; wherein, the urine collection bag 2 is connected with a first liquid level monitor 7, the sample test tube 3 is connected with a second liquid level monitor 8, a solenoid valve 5 is connected to the diversion tube 6 between the urine collection bag 2 and the sample test tube 3, the first liquid level monitor 7 and the second liquid level monitor 8 are in signal connection with the controller 4, and the controller 4 is in control connection with the solenoid valve 5. The present utility model monitors the liquid level in the urine collection bag 2 by using the first liquid level monitor 7 and monitors the liquid level in the sample test tube 3 by using the second liquid level monitor 8. When it is detected that the liquid level in the urine collection bag 2 reaches a preset value, the solenoid valve 5 is opened to inject the sampled urine into the sample test tube 3. When the liquid level in the sample test tube 3 reaches the preset value, the solenoid valve 5 is closed to complete urine collection, realizing the function of automatically collecting and transferring urine samples. For example, it can be preset that when the liquid level in the urine collection bag 2 reaches 10 ml, the solenoid valve 5 is opened to inject the sampled urine into the sample test tube 3, and when the liquid level in the sample test tube 3 reaches 5 ml, the solenoid valve 5 is closed to finish sampling. The numerical value of the liquid level here can be preset in the controller 4 according to actual needs, and the urine collection bag 2 and the sample test tube 3 can also be replaced with different capacities according to the actual sampling volume. In another embodiment, the present utility model can also be used for monitoring the urine volume of children. For example, when the liquid level in the urine collection bag 2 is 93 ml after sampling, plus the 5 ml of the sampled urine, the controller 4 can calculate that the urine volume of the child this time is 98 ml. Then, according to the fact that the density of urine is generally slightly greater than 1 g / ml, it can be concluded that the mass of the urine this time is about 98 g, and the detection result can be displayed by means of printing a report or screen display, etc.

[0030] In one aspect of the embodiment of the present utility model, the controller 4 is provided with an alarm unit 42, and the alarm unit 42 can adopt a warning light or a buzzer alarm. When the first liquid level monitor 7 detects urine in the urine collection bag 2, an alarm is issued to remind medical staff to take out the urine sample in time. After the sample test tube 3 is taken away, the controller is turned off. Further preferably, the controller 4 is provided with a timing unit 41, and the timing unit 41 can monitor the sampling time. For example, it can be set that when two hours have passed since the first liquid level monitor 7 detects urine in the urine collection bag 2 and the medical staff has not taken away the urine sample and turned off the controller, an alarm is issued. This situation can be used as a supplementary reminder scheme to avoid the urine sample being left for a long time, resulting in contamination and deterioration, which affects the accuracy of the detection.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown, in order to facilitate the connection of the urine collector 1 to the urethral orifice position of the child, the urine collector 1 has an annular adhesive tape 11 at the position where it adheres to the skin. The adhesive tape 11 plays a role in connecting and fixing to prevent the urine collector 1 from falling off. The lower side of the urine collector 1 has a gradually inclined downward slope, and the lowest point of the slope has a through hole connected to the diversion tube 6. The slope plays a role in guiding the flow, so that the urine collected by the urine collector 1 is concentrated at the lowest point and led out through the diversion tube 6. The diversion tube 6 is of a flexible tube structure and can be made of silica gel material.

[0032] In one aspect of the embodiment of the present utility model, both the first liquid level monitor 7 and the second liquid level monitor 8 are implanted liquid level sensors. The first liquid level monitor 7 is placed in the urine collection bag 2, and the second liquid level monitor 8 is placed in the sample test tube 3. The implanted liquid level sensor can monitor the change of the liquid level through the change of pressure, with high accuracy and convenient operation.

[0033] The above-mentioned implanted liquid level sensor is easily contaminated by urine and not convenient for repeated use. Therefore, as Figure 3 shown, both the first liquid level monitor 7 and the second liquid level monitor 8 are image collectors. The urine collection bag 2 and the sample test tube 3 are both made of transparent materials. The first liquid level monitor 7 is attached to the side wall of the urine collection bag 2, and the second liquid level monitor 8 is attached to the side wall of the sample test tube 3. In this embodiment, the first liquid level monitor 7 and the second liquid level monitor 8 adopt image collectors, which rely on the image recognition function in the controller 4 to distinguish the real-time images collected by the image collectors and monitor the change of the liquid level height to realize the function of monitoring the liquid level. The image collectors in this scheme do not need to contact with urine, can be detachably connected to the urine collection bag and the sample test tube, and have the advantage of being convenient for repeated use. In a specific embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the image collector includes a suction cup 71 and a camera 72. The camera 72 is detachably connected to the side wall of the urine collection bag 2 or the sample test tube 3 through the suction cup 71.

[0034] Among them, in order to maintain the pressure balance in the urine collection bag 2 and ensure the smooth flow of urine into the urine collection bag 2, a first air outlet 21 is connected to the upper side of the urine collection bag 2, and the first air outlet 21 connects the inside and outside of the urine collection bag 2.

[0035] As Figure 5 shown, the diversion tube 6 is detachably connected to the sample test tube 3 through the piston 31, which functions to facilitate the separate loading and unloading of the sample test tube 3. Preferably, in order to maintain the pressure balance in the sample test tube 3 and ensure the smooth flow of urine into the sample test tube 3, a first air outlet 21 is provided on the piston 31, and the first air outlet 21 connects the inside and outside of the sample test tube 3.

[0036] In the present utility model, the connections between the controller 4 and the solenoid valve 5, the first liquid level monitor 7, and the second liquid level monitor 8 can be wireless or wired, and both can achieve signal transmission; as for the power supply, it can be realized through a built-in battery or an external power supply, which are all prior arts in this field and can adopt different modes according to different situations, and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
