[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application usually described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0034] The inventor's research found that in the traditional urine collection method, urine is discharged into a urinal and then collected through a pipeline into a urine storage bag for storage. During urine collection, there may be situations such as overflow and side leakage. After retrieval, the Chinese patent with the publication number CN215651257U proposed a urine collection device for female urinary incontinence patients. Although it can achieve the collection and storage of the patient's urine, it requires the patient to operate manually, which is more troublesome to use and not convenient; and there is a possibility of pipeline backflow. When the pipeline is squeezed, the flow effect of the pipeline becomes worse.
[0035] Based on the above findings, the present application proposes a military-civilian dual-use intelligent urine collection and storage system. Through a collection towel with a urine volume detection electrode inside, the water pump at the bottom is automatically turned on while urine flows in, and the urine is processed in a timely manner to avoid the long-term retention of urine in the collection towel, which affects the comfort during use; a drainage tube is designed at the bottom of the water pump, and a plurality of one-way diversion valves are designed inside the drainage tube, which can achieve the one-way diversion of urine from the water pump to the urine storage bag; the drainage tube is a three-layer structure divided into an inner layer, a middle layer, and an outer layer. The middle layer is alternately spliced by metal wires and sponges, the outer layer is made of PVC material, which has good compressive resistance, and the inner layer is a normal liquid guide tube; by designing a urine storage bag that can be spliced, the user can assemble urine storage bags with different capacities according to the use duration and estimated urine volume. Embodiment 1
[0036] Refer to Figures 1 - 3 、 Figure 9The present application discloses a dual-purpose urine intelligent collection and storage system, including underwear 1 for a user to wear, a collection towel 2 for receiving urine is arranged at the crotch of the underwear 1, the collection towel 2 is bonded to the underwear 1, the main part of the collection towel 2 is arranged in an elliptical structure, and wings are arranged on both sides, and the wings can be folded to reinforce the stability of the collection towel 2.
[0037] The collecting towel 2 is configured as a three-layer structure with two containing cavities inside. The upper layer is a contact layer that is in direct contact with the user's skin. It adopts a porous skin-friendly silicone filter structure, which can achieve timely leakage of urine in various postures such as standing, lying flat, and lying on the side, avoiding the discomfort caused by urine retention; the middle layer is a liquid seepage layer, which also adopts a filter structure to allow urine to flow into the containing cavity below as quickly as possible. The lower layer is a receiving layer, which uses a material with good support properties to avoid urine leakage when the urine volume is too much.
[0038] On this basis, the contact layer and the liquid permeable layer can also use a unidirectional liquid guide film, which is a thin film that can conduct liquid in one direction. It has many holes. When there is no liquid on the surface, the holes are closed. When there is liquid on the surface, these holes will automatically open, and the liquid will flow to the lower layer along the holes. When the liquid flows out, the holes on the unidirectional liquid guide film will automatically close, thereby blocking the direct contact between the liquid and the skin, while the surface remains dry. The unidirectional liquid guide film is an existing technology and is not used as an improvement point. The detailed structure is not introduced here.
[0039] A linear urine volume detection electrode 201 is designed inside the lower accommodating cavity of the collecting towel 2. The detection electrode 201 is attached to the upper surface of the receiving layer. The four electrodes are respectively distributed in the front, back, left and right directions of the receiving layer, thereby realizing real-time detection of urine volume in the collecting towel 2.
