Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical sampling instruments, in particular to a mid-section urine collection cup. Background Art
[0002] Urinalysis is a medical testing method that includes routine urinalysis, urine formed element detection (such as urine red blood cells and white blood cells), quantitative protein content determination, and urine enzyme determination. Urinalysis is extremely valuable for clinical diagnosis, therapeutic efficacy, and prognosis. To ensure the accuracy and objectivity of the test results, urinalysis requires the collection of midstream urine.
[0003] At present, urine test subjects are generally asked to collect midstream urine into a urine cup, and then pour it into a special test tube and seal it for testing. However, in fact, many urine test subjects do not know what midstream urine is, nor do they know how to collect midstream urine accurately. It is difficult to grasp the timing of urine collection during the operation. Failure to accurately collect midstream urine will lead to problems in the test results. In addition, in order to collect midstream urine, it is easy to splash urine on the hands and body, causing unnecessary troubles to the urine test subject. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a midstream urine collection cup with a simple and reliable structure, easy operation, and a standardized urine collection process. It can accurately collect midstream urine, ensure the accuracy and objectivity of the test results, and avoid the urine tester from splashing urine on his hands or body in order to collect midstream urine, thereby reducing unnecessary troubles.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows:
[0006] A mid-stream urine collection cup includes a collection cup body, a partition plate, and a float. A raised ring is provided in the lower middle portion of the inner wall of the collection cup body, a support seat is provided in the middle of the bottom of the partition plate, the support seat has a hollow inner cavity, and a circular hole is provided in the middle of the partition plate, communicating with the hollow inner cavity. The outer diameter of the partition plate is between the inner diameter of the collection cup body and the inner diameter of the raised ring, the height of the partition plate does not exceed the height of the raised ring within the collection cup body, and the diameter of the float is greater than the diameter of the circular hole in the middle of the partition plate. After installation, the support seat is placed in the middle of the bottom of the collection cup body. The partition plate cannot move within the collection cup body due to the limiting effect of the raised ring on its top surface, dividing the space within the collection cup body into upper and lower parts. The float is located in the hollow inner cavity of the support seat. When collecting urine, urinate directly into the collection cup. The front urine flows into the space below the collection cup from the circular hole in the middle of the partition plate. As the liquid level rises, the float rises until the float blocks the circular hole. The urine that continues to flow into the space above the collection cup is the middle urine, which is well isolated from the front urine in the space below.
[0007] Preferably, the collection cup space below the partition is provided with a water-absorbing material, or the collection cup space below the partition is filled with a water-absorbing material instead of a float. The float can be omitted, and the water-absorbing material can be used to absorb the front urine, while the middle urine is conveniently collected above the partition.
[0008] Preferably, the top surface of the partition plate is inclined downward from the outer ring to the middle circular hole, and the slope is small, so that the front urine can flow downward along the middle circular hole of the partition plate at the beginning.
[0009] Preferably, the cup mouth of the collection cup body is provided with a urine pouring port for pouring midstream urine into a special test tube.
[0010] Preferably, the cup mouth of the collection cup body is provided with two urine pouring ports which are symmetrically arranged, so that both left-handed and right-handed people can use it conveniently.
[0011] Preferably, a handle is provided on one side of the collection cup body for holding the handle when collecting urine.
[0012] Preferably, the handle is provided with a notch extending from the inner end to the outer end along the handle direction, and an extension handle is provided in the notch, the outer end of the extension handle being connected to the outer end of the handle, and the inner end and both sides of the extension handle being spaced apart from the handle. If the original handle is not long enough, the extension handle can be folded outward to extend the handle.
[0013] Preferably, a folding section with reduced thickness is provided at the connection between the extension handle and the handle, and the extension handle is folded from the folding section.
[0014] Preferably, the surface of the handle is curved downward from the inside to the outside, which acts as a reinforcing rib, provides a good grip, and allows urine to flow away along the curved surface when it splashes onto the handle.
[0015] Preferably, the surface of the extension handle is curved downward from the outside to the inside, and after being folded outward by 180°, it is also curved downward from the inside to the outside.
[0016] Preferably, the cup cover is further included, and the mouth of the collection cup body is provided with a corresponding threaded section. After urine collection is completed, the cup cover can be screwed on and sealed, and the urine can be directly sent to the inspection department without having to be poured into another special test tube.
[0017] Preferably, the outer wall of the cup cover is evenly provided with anti-slip grooves.
[0018] Preferably, the support seat is provided with at least one communication port to facilitate the flow of the front urine into the space below the collection cup body.
[0019] Preferably, the support base is truncated cone-shaped, with a wide bottom and narrow top structure, ensuring that the float rises toward the center and blocks the circular hole. The largest portion of the float fits neatly into the opening of the circular hole, blocking the hole and locking it in the center. This prevents the front of the urine from being poured out when the urine is poured out. Furthermore, due to friction and surface tension, the float is not sufficiently buoyant to dislodge itself from the circular hole even when the collection cup is placed horizontally or upside down, and remains stuck in the hole.
[0020] Preferably, the collection cup body, handle and extension handle are made of deformable soft material and are integrally formed through mold processing.
[0021] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The collection cup of the present invention has a reliable structure, is easy to operate, and has a standardized urine collection process. It can accurately collect midstream urine, ensure the accuracy and objectivity of the test results, and avoid urine testers splashing urine on their hands and body in order to collect midstream urine, reducing unnecessary troubles.
[0022] 2. The handle of the collection cup of the utility model has the function of being folded and extended, which can prevent urine from splashing onto the hands on the one hand, and on the other hand, reduce the required length of the handle in disguise, saving costs in terms of molds, etc.
[0023] 3. The surface of the handle and the extension handle of the collection cup of the utility model is curved, which acts as a reinforcing rib and improves the structural strength of the handle. When urine splashes onto the handle, it can flow along the curved surface. In addition, the handle and the extension handle feel good to hold and are more stable to hold.
[0024] 4. The design of the collection cup body and cup cover of the utility model allows urine collection to be completed in one container without the need for additional test tubes, thus simplifying the urine collection process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
