Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to a folding container for female urine test, a storage container and a folding storage rack. Background Art

[0002] During physical examinations or the process of determining the cause of an illness, urine tests are often required. Before the test, the examinee needs to collect urine, that is, put the urine into a container and then transfer it to medical staff for testing. Due to the differences in female body structures, in general medical urine screening, female users often encounter the problem that the capacity of urine cups or test tubes is too small. During the process of collecting urine, it is difficult to bend down to check the scale, and urine is very likely to splash out of the container. This is not only unhygienic but also causes certain psychological pressure to the examinee. In addition, traditional cup-shaped designs take up a large amount of space and are not conducive to storage and recycling.

[0003] In terms of storage, urine collection cups in hospitals are generally stacked together for patients to take by themselves. Most urine collection cups are made of plastic and are not fixed, resulting in easy deformation when people take the collection cups. At the same time, it is very easy to scatter and mess up the stacked collection cups, which requires staff to sort them out, increasing the labor intensity of the staff. Due to the large usage volume of urine cups and the long-term open placement of urine cups, any patient can touch the inside of any urine cup, and pollutants can easily enter the urine cups, resulting in cross-contamination and affecting the accuracy of test results.

[0004] During the urine test process, a corresponding cup rack is needed to place the folding container for urine test. Traditional cup racks take up a large amount of space, and most of the existing cup rack bearing plates are integrally set with the cup rack, making it difficult to move and clean flexibly.

[0040] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] This embodiment provides a urine test folding container for women, which is composed of, for example Figure 1It is folded from the material sheet 101 of the shown plane. The material sheet 101 is symmetric left and right and has the same left and right structures. It is a sheet-shaped one divided into different regions by multiple folding lines. The left side in the figure includes the bottom sheet 101-1 in the shape of a pentagon like a water droplet. The right side of the bottom sheet 101-1 is the triangular side sheet 101-2. The three bottom sides of the bottom sheet 101-1 are connected to 3 connecting sheets 101-3. The right side of the right connecting sheet 101-3 is connected to the left-lower side of the side sheet 101-2. Paste sheets 101-4 are connected to the outer sides of the three connecting sheets 101-3, which are used for pasting and connecting with each other when folded into a three-dimensional container.

[0043] The pentagon of the bottom sheet 101-1 includes a triangle in the upper part and a trapezoid with a wider upper part and a narrower lower part in the lower part. The top of the triangle is the handle sheet 102, and the rest is the container sheet 102.

[0044] Such as Figure 2 , first fold the material sheet 101 in half left and right along the center line, then paste the corresponding paste sheets 101-4 on the left and right. The bottom sheets 101-1 on the left and right sides open towards the upper left. Then the material sheet 101 can be folded into a three-dimensional container with an opening towards the upper side. The handle sheet 102 at the top of the bottom sheet 101-1 is folded in half and flipped by a certain angle to form an integrated handle 106, forming a ring-shaped groove 105, and the folding of the three-dimensional container is completed. The three-dimensional container with an opening towards the upper side is more suitable for the female body structure and is not easy to splash when in use.

[0045] Through the semi-folding line 107 and the center line formed by corresponding pasting and between the quadrilateral sheets 101-3, the three-dimensional container can be folded into a semi-folded state. The semi-folded state is a flat state, forming a urine test card, so that it can be stacked and stored in a storage container. And when the user uses it, just gently pull open one side of the bottom sheet 101-1, and a three-dimensional container can be conveniently formed for urine sampling of women. The capacity of the formed three-dimensional container is 10-12 ml. The user can hold the handle to conveniently drain the excess liquid. Such a design greatly reduces the risk of accidental leakage when the container is upright or slightly tilted.

[0046] Such as Figure 2 The bottom sheet 101-1 is a pentagon, which can be divided into a triangle in the upper part and a trapezoid in the lower part. The bottom of the lower trapezoid is used for placement. The height of the trapezoid can be set relatively high so that the opening of the three-dimensional container has a deeper groove or edge, which can help accommodate the overflow that may occur when the container is opened or roughly handled. The height range of the trapezoid of the bottom sheet 101-1 is preferably 20 mm to 30 mm, and the bottom angle of the opening side of the triangle is preferably 45° to 60°.

[0047] The thickness of the material sheet 101 is preferably in the range of 3 mm to 5 mm. To ensure that the container does not deform or break during use, a relatively large thickness is required to provide sufficient strength. The appropriate thickness will ensure the stability and durability of the container during use. The characteristics of different materials will affect the thickness selection. If cardboard, composite materials or other sturdy materials are used, the thickness after forming the container is recommended to be between 3 mm and 5 mm.

[0048] Materials with hydrophobic properties can also be used for the interior of the container, which can help manage small spills by reducing the amount of liquid adhering to the surface, thus minimizing leakage.

[0049] The folding lines of the material sheet 101 define at least two stackable bottom sheets 101-1. At least two bottom sheets 101-1 are folded and fixed overlapping each other. In some other embodiments, more bottom sheets can also be included, such as three and four bottom sheets 101-1. In this way, the container formed by folding has a larger capacity. However, it can also be seen that the advantage of two bottom sheets 101-1 is that they save more materials and are easier to manufacture and fold.

[0050] Preferably, the material sheet 101 is made of a waterproof material. More preferably, the waterproof material is a plastic material, such as polypropylene. Preferably, the waterproof material has sufficient flexibility to enable it to be easily unfolded along the folding lines engraved therein.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] As Figures 4 to 7 , this embodiment provides a drawable storage container, which includes a hollow housing 201. A draw opening 204 is provided at the bottom of the housing 201. The housing 201 is partitioned to form a container compartment 202. It can be seen from the figure that the cross-section of the housing 201 is generally hexagonal, and three container compartments 202 can be combined and placed. The container compartment 202 at the rear is reserved for backup, and the two in the front can be used for drawing at the same time. The cavity inside the container compartment 202 is the container cavity 203. A plurality of female-specific urine test folding containers in a folded state as in Example 1 are stacked in the container cavity 203, and the drawing part of the folded female-specific urine test folding container faces the draw opening 204. The drawing part refers to the handle sheet 103. The drawing part of the female-specific urine test folding container corresponds to the position of the draw opening 204 to avoid contaminating the female-specific urine test folding container. A lid 205 is installed on the upper part of the housing 201. By opening the container cavity 203 through the lid 205, it is convenient to replace the folding container. The front side of the drawable storage container is transparent, so that the number of folding containers inside the container compartment 202 can be observed in real time. The back of the drawable storage container adopts a wall-mounted structure and can be installed on the wall without drilling holes.

[0053] Example 3

[0054] As Figures 8 to 9The present embodiment provides a folding frame, which includes a telescopic frame body 301, which includes a plurality of telescopic units 302, which are arranged and hinged to each other; a single telescopic unit 302 is a basic unit constituting the telescopic frame body, which can move relative to each other to achieve overall extension and contraction, and includes two cross-hinged connecting rods 303, the cross-connection of the two connecting rods 303 in the telescopic unit 302 is hinged by a first hinge shaft 304, and the connecting rods 303 of adjacent telescopic units 302 are hinged by a second hinge shaft 305 provided at the end of the connecting rod 303. Through the first and second hinge shafts, the folding frame is opened for use or folded for storage.

[0055] The telescopic frame 301 in the figure is provided with two layers, and the upper and lower layers are connected by a telescopic connecting pipe provided on the second hinge shaft 305. The purpose of the two layers is to realize the classified placement and convenient access of urine test cards. The bottom layer is used to place untested folding containers, and the upper layer is used to place tested folding containers, so as to facilitate separation and processing, reduce the risk of cross contamination, and facilitate cleaning and transportation.

[0056] like Figure 8 The second hinge shaft 305 of the single-layer telescopic frame 301 is provided with a connecting pipe, which includes a first connecting pipe 306 and a second connecting pipe 307 above the first connecting pipe 306. The diameter of the connecting end of the first connecting pipe 306 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting end of the second connecting pipe 307. The connecting end of the first connecting pipe 306 extends into the connecting end of the second connecting pipe 307 and is telescopic. The telescopic connection between the first connecting pipe 306 and the second connecting pipe 307 is achieved through such a telescopic structure connection.

[0057] like Figure 10 After taking samples, multiple female-specific urine test folding containers as provided in Example 1 are placed upright between the connecting tubes on the upper layer of the unfolded telescopic frame 301.

[0058] The urine test folding container can be designed into a structure with multiple folding methods, such as Z-shape, S-shape, etc., so that it can be unfolded when in use and folded and stored after use to save space.

[0059] The urine test folding container can be designed in a conical or prism shape, so that multiple containers can be stacked on top of each other to reduce storage space. The stacking design can also facilitate classification management and transportation.

[0060] The bottom and top of each foldable container can be designed with complementary concave and convex structures to ensure stability when stacked and not easy to tip over.
