[0038] The convenient connector 4 further includes a third rubber ring 16. A plurality of third rubber rings 16 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the second connecting pipe 7 near one end of the guiding pipe 3, and the inner diameters of the plurality of third rubber rings 16 gradually increase and fit the outer surface of the guiding pipe 3, and the plurality of first connecting pipes 6 and the outer side of the guiding pipe 3 are arranged in extrusion and limiting fit.

[0039] The convenient connector 4 further includes a marking ring 17. A marking ring 17 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the soft rubber ball 5.

[0040] Specifically: during installation, the first connecting pipe 6 can be inserted into the inner side of the urine drainage module 1. At this time, the limiting movable blocks 8 fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the first connecting pipe 6 will be inserted through one end of the opening of the corresponding concave limiting slot and move to the inner side of the concave limiting slot.

[0041] Subsequently, as the first connecting pipe 6 continues to be inserted, the limiting movable blocks 8 will also move to the end of the concave limiting slot away from the first connecting pipe 6 on the inner side. Subsequently, by rotating the first connecting pipe 6, the limiting movable blocks 8 can be driven to move horizontally on the inner side of the concave limiting slot and make the limiting movable blocks 8 move to the other end of the inner side of the concave limiting slot, so as to limit the limiting movable blocks 8 and complete the connection effect between the urine drainage module 1 and the first connecting pipe 6.

[0042] When the first connecting pipe 6 is inserted into the inner side of the urine drainage module 1, the second rubber ring 10 arranged at the end of the first connecting pipe 6 will also enter the inner side of the urine drainage module 1 synchronously and fit with the first rubber ring 9. The materials of the first rubber ring 9 and the second rubber ring 10 can be set as soft materials such as rubber, so as to facilitate the operation of inserting and rotating the first connecting pipe 6 into the inner side of the urine drainage module 1. At the same time, through the extrusion fit of the first rubber ring 9 and the second rubber ring 10, the gap between the outer side of the first connecting pipe 6 and the inner side of the urine drainage module 1 can be blocked, so as to reduce the occurrence of urine leakage through the outer side of the first connecting pipe 6 during daily use.

[0043] When the first connecting pipe 6 approaches the urinary catheterization module 1, the second fixing ring 13 at the top of the first connecting pipe 6 will also drive the annular insertion plate 14 to move synchronously towards the end close to the first fixing ring 11, and insert the annular insertion plate 14 into the inner side of the first fixing ring 11, so as to further improve the connection effect between the urinary catheterization module 1 and the first connecting pipe 6;

[0044] After the annular insertion plate 14 is inserted into the inner side of the first fixing ring 11, the second magnet ring 15 arranged at the end of the annular insertion plate 14 will also cooperate with the first magnet ring 12 by magnetic attraction, so as to further improve the connection effect between the annular insertion plate 14 and the first fixing ring 11, and at the same time further improve the connection effect between the urinary catheterization module 1 and the first connecting pipe 6;

[0045] When it is necessary to pull out the first connecting pipe 6 from the inner side of the urinary catheterization module 1, only need to rotate the first connecting pipe 6, and make the first connecting pipe 6 drive the limit movable block 8 to move to the open end inside the concave limit slot, and disengage from the inner side of the concave limit slot, so as to complete the pulling-out operation of the first connecting pipe 6. During the pulling-out process, only medical staff need to operate with one hand, so as to improve the convenience of connecting the convenient joint 4;

[0046] When connecting the guiding pipe 3 with the second connecting pipe 7, only need to insert the guiding pipe 3 into the inner side of the second connecting pipe 7 and fit it with a plurality of third rubber rings 16, so that through the setting of the plurality of third rubber rings 16, the surface of the guiding pipe 3 located inside the second connecting pipe 7 can be limited by friction and extrusion, so as to reduce the phenomenon that the guiding pipe 3 disengages from the inner side of the second connecting pipe 7;

[0047] During use, urine will pass through the urinary catheterization module 1 and enter the soft rubber ball 5 through the setting of the first connecting pipe 6, and then flow into the guiding pipe 3 through the guiding of the second connecting pipe 7, so as to complete the guiding operation of urine. When it is necessary to sample urine, during the drainage process, the needle can penetrate into the soft rubber ball 5, and directly extract the urine inside the soft rubber ball 5, so as to avoid contact between urine and external air. At the same time, the soft rubber ball 5 is made of latex material, and can squeeze the gap where the needle is inserted when the needle is pulled out, so as to avoid urine leakage;

[0048] Through the setting of the marking circle 17, the position where the needle penetrates the outside of the soft rubber ball 5 can be limited and regulated, so that medical staff can clarify the sampling position of the needle during the next sampling, and further improve the convenience of the soft rubber ball 5.
