Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a urine collector. Background Technology
[0002] In related techniques, when it is necessary to examine a patient's 24-hour urine protein, 24-hour urine potassium, 24-hour urine calcium, 24-hour urine free cortisol, etc., the patient is asked to collect 24-hour urine into a container. Then, when collecting the urine sample, the urine is stirred and mixed with an external object, or the container is picked up and shaken to mix the urine. After that, the urine is collected in a disposable plastic cup and placed in a specimen tube. The total amount of urine is measured and marked on the specimen tube.
[0003] However, using external stirring objects when mixing specimens increases the probability of contamination and reduces the accuracy of specimen testing. Moreover, shaking the container to mix 24-hour urine is inconvenient as it is easy to spill when shaking the container, and this operation cannot completely mix the 24-hour urine evenly.

[0027] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0028] The urine collector 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a urine collector 100 includes: a collector body 1, a cover 2, a stirring member 3, and a rocker arm 4. The collector body 1 has a collection chamber 11 that opens along a first direction (refer to direction e1 in the figure). The collection chamber 11 can be used to collect the patient's urine over 24 hours. When the collection chamber 11 contains urine, the first direction is vertical.
[0030] Since the collection chamber 11 is used to collect the patient's 24-hour urine, its capacity should be set to be no less than the total daily urine volume of an adult. Specifically, the capacity of the collection chamber 11 can be set to be no less than 2500ml, such as 2500ml, 2600ml, 2700ml, 2800ml, 2900ml, 3000ml, 3100ml, 3200ml, 3300ml, 3400ml, 3500ml, 3600ml, 3700ml, 3800ml, 3900ml, 4000ml, or 4500ml. The larger the capacity of the collection chamber 11, the more reliably the patient's 24-hour urine can be collected, and the more effectively the risk of urine spilling from the collection chamber 11 can be reduced. Specifically, the collector body 1 can be provided with a transparent area extending along a first direction, and a capacity scale is provided in the transparent area to facilitate medical personnel in reading the total amount of the patient's 24-hour urine.
[0031] The cover 2 is detachably placed over the opening of the collection chamber 11; for example, the cover 2 and the collection chamber 11 can be detachably connected together by a snap-fit structure, the cover 2 and the collection chamber 11 can also be detachably connected together by a threaded structure, or the cover 2 and the collection chamber 11 can also be detachably connected together by an interference fit.
[0032] During each urination within 24 hours, the patient can first remove the cover 2 from the collector body 1, open the collection chamber 11, and then urinate into the collection chamber 11. After urinating completely, the patient can then replace the cover 2 to seal the opening of the collection chamber 11 and place the urine collector 100 in the designated placement area. This reduces the risk of external contaminants falling into the collection chamber 11, ensuring the reliability of the urine within the collection chamber 11. When transferring the urine collector 100, this also reduces the risk of urine spilling from the collection chamber 11, improving the reliability of the urine collector 100.
[0033] For example, a sealing element 5 can be sandwiched between the cover 2 and the collector body 1 support. Specifically, the sealing element 5 can be a rubber element or a silicone element. This can improve the sealing effect of the collection chamber 11, thereby more effectively reducing the risk of external contaminants falling into the collection chamber 11, ensuring the reliability of the urine in the collection chamber 11, and more effectively reducing the risk of urine spilling out of the collection chamber 11 when transferring the urine collector 100, thus improving the reliability of the urine collector 100.
[0034] The stirring element 3 is rotatably disposed within the collecting chamber 11, and the stirring element 3 is detachably connected to the cover 2; the rocker arm 4 is disposed on the side of the cover 2 away from the collecting chamber 11, and the rocker arm 4 is connected to the stirring element 3 to drive the stirring element 3 to rotate. For example, the rocker arm 4 can be connected to the stirring element 3 through the cover 2, the rocker arm 4 can be directly connected to the stirring element 3, or the rocker arm 4 can be connected to the stirring element 3 through other structures passing through the cover 2.
[0035] After the patient's 24-hour urine collection is completed, medical staff can drive the stirring component 3 to rotate using the rocker arm 4, stirring the urine in the collection chamber 11 to ensure uniform mixing. This effectively reduces the risk of large deviations in the sample due to sedimentation or stratification of the urine in the collection chamber 11, making the sample more reliably representative of the patient's 24-hour urine and ensuring the reliability of the sample. This allows for more accurate detection of the components in the patient's urine, improving the reliability of the test data.
[0036] By detachably connecting the cover 2 to the collector body 1 and the agitator 3 to the cover 2, when a patient needs to undergo multiple 24-hour urine tests, the collector body 1, cover 2, and agitator 3 can be separated and cleaned and disinfected one by one. This effectively reduces or removes urine components adhering to the collector body 1, cover 2, and agitator 3, making the data from subsequent urine component tests using the urine collector 100 more accurate. This also allows the urine collector 100 to be reused, meeting patients' needs for low medical costs and improving the overall performance of the urine collector 100.
[0037] According to the urine collector 100 of this utility model, by setting a cover 2 covering the opening of the collector body 1 and a cooperating rocker arm 4 and a stirring element 3, and detachably connecting the stirring element 3 to the cover 2, medical staff can drive the stirring element 3 to rotate via the rocker arm 4, so as to stir the urine sample in the collection chamber 11 evenly, reduce the workload of medical staff, reduce the risk of external contaminants falling into the collection chamber 11, reduce the risk of the sample spilling out of the collection chamber 11 during stirring, effectively ensure the reliability of the sample, and thus improve the accuracy of the detection of the component data in the patient's urine through the sample. The reliability of the test data is improved. Moreover, by detachably connecting the cover 2 to the collector body 1 and the stirring element 3 to the cover 2, when a patient needs to undergo multiple 24-hour urine tests, the collector body 1, cover 2, and stirring element 3 can be separated and cleaned and disinfected one by one. This effectively reduces or removes urine components adhering to the collector body 1, cover 2, and stirring element 3, making the data from subsequent urine component tests using the urine collector 100 more accurate. This allows the urine collector 100 to be reused, meeting the patient's need for low medical costs and improving the overall performance of the urine collector 100.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the stirring component 3 includes a stirring shaft 31 and stirring blades 32. The stirring shaft 31 rotates along a first direction, and the stirring blades 32 are connected to the radial outer circumferential surface of the stirring shaft 31. For example, there are multiple stirring blades 32, and the multiple stirring blades 32 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the stirring shaft 31.
[0039] The bottom wall of the collector body 1 and the end of the stirring shaft 31 facing away from the cover 2 are each provided with a rotating column 12 and a rotating hole 311. The rotating column 12 passes through the rotating hole 311, and the axial length of the rotating column 12 is greater than the axial length of the rotating hole 311. For example, the bottom wall of the collector body 1 in the collection chamber 11 may be provided with a rotating column 12, and the end of the stirring shaft 31 facing away from the cover 2 may have a rotating hole 311. Alternatively, the bottom wall of the collector body 1 in the collection chamber 11 may also have a rotating hole 311, and the end of the stirring shaft 31 facing away from the cover 2 may be provided with a rotating column 12.
[0040] By setting the rotating column 12 and the rotating hole 311 to cooperate with each other, and setting the axial length of the rotating column 12 to be greater than the axial length of the rotating hole 311, the stirring blade 32 can be separated from the bottom wall of the collector body 1 of the collection chamber 11, reducing the contact area between the stirring element 3 and the collector body 1, reducing the friction between the stirring element 3 and the collector body 1, and reducing the noise generated during the rotation of the stirring element 3. This allows medical staff to drive the stirring element 3 to rotate more easily through the rocker arm 4. At the same time, this can also reduce the scratches generated between the stirring element 3 and the collector body 1, reduce the amount of urine residue in the scratches that is difficult to wash off, and thus more effectively reduce or wash away the urine components attached to the collector body 1, the cover 2 and the stirring element 3, making the data of urine component detection by the urine collector 100 more accurate.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of this utility model, the stirring component 3 further includes a support frame 33, which is located on the side of the stirring blade 32 near the cover 2 and is connected to the stirring shaft 31. In the radial direction of the stirring shaft 31, the maximum distance between the stirring shaft 31 and the support frame 33 is greater than or equal to the maximum distance between the stirring shaft 31 and the stirring blade 32. When the stirring component 3 has a tendency to tilt, the support frame 33 can abut against the side wall of the collecting cavity 11 to reliably position the stirring component 3 within the collecting cavity 11, positioning the end of the stirring shaft 31 connected to the rocker arm 4 within a preset range, so that when the cover 2 is placed on the collector body 1, the rocker arm 4 can be connected to the stirring shaft 31.
[0042] For example, the distance between the support frame 33 and the side wall of the collection chamber 11 can be 0.5mm-3mm. Specifically, the distance between the support frame 33 and the side wall of the collection chamber 11 can be 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, 2mm, 2.1mm, 2.2mm, 2.3mm, 2.4mm, 2.5mm, 2.6mm, 2.7mm, 2.8mm, 2.9mm, or 3mm.
[0043] The smaller the distance between the support frame 33 and the side wall of the collection chamber 11, the more reliably the end of the stirring shaft 31 connected to the rocker arm 4 can be positioned in the preset position; the larger the distance between the support frame 33 and the side wall of the collection chamber 11, the easier it is to place the stirring component 3 into the collection chamber 11. By setting the distance between the support frame 33 and the side wall of the collection chamber 11 to 0.5mm-3mm, it is easier to place the stirring component 3 into the collection chamber 11, reducing the operational intensity for medical staff and patients. At the same time, the end of the stirring shaft 31 connected to the rocker arm 4 can be reliably positioned in the preset position, so that when the cover 2 is placed on the collector body 1, the first locking pin 35 can be reliably inserted into the first locking hole 221, making it easier to connect the rocker arm 4 and the stirring shaft 31 together, thus improving the reliability of the urine collector 100.
[0044] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of this utility model, the stirring element 3 further includes a flexible protective element 34, which is sleeved on the radial outer surface of the support frame 33. For example, the flexible protective element 34 can be a silicone part or a rubber part. By providing the flexible protective element 34, the flexible protective element 34 can provide a certain buffering effect on the side wall of the support frame 33 and the collection chamber 11, further reducing scratches on the stirring element 3 and the collector body 1, reducing the amount of urine residue in the scratches that is difficult to wash off, thereby more effectively reducing or washing away urine components attached to the collector body 1, the cover 2 and the stirring element 3, making the data of urine component detection by the urine collector 100 more accurate.
[0045] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of this invention, the support frame 33 includes at least three support rods 331, all of which are connected to the stirring shaft 31 and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the stirring shaft 31. For example, a flexible protective member 34 can be provided at the end of the support rod 331 facing away from the stirring shaft 31. This allows the cross-sectional area of the support frame 33 to be smaller, reducing the obstruction of the collection chamber 11 by the support frame 33.
[0046] When a patient collects urine, placing the stirring element 3 into the collection chamber 11 can reduce or avoid the risk of urine spilling out of the collection chamber 11 due to the obstruction of the support frame 33. This allows the patient to place the stirring element 3 into the collection chamber 11 while collecting urine, reducing the risk of the stirring element 3 being lost when placed outside, and reducing the risk of contaminants falling onto the stirring element 3 when placed outside. This effectively ensures the safety of the urine collector 100 and the reliability of the urine in the collection chamber 11.
[0047] Reference Figure 1According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the cover 2 includes a through portion 211 and a stop portion 212. The through portion 211 extends along a first direction and passes through the collection cavity 11. The through portion 211 and the stop portion 212 are adapted to each other in shape. The stop portion 212 is connected to the end of the through portion 211 away from the collection cavity 11 and protrudes from the radial outer surface of the through portion 211. In the first direction, the stop portion 212 abuts against the end face of the opening of the collector body 1. This allows the mating surface between the cover 2 and the collector body 1 to be bent, effectively improving the sealing performance of the collection cavity 11.
[0048] For example, the insertion part 211 and the collection chamber 11 can be an interference fit, so that the cover 2 and the collector body 1 can be connected and fixed by the interference fit, which makes the overall structure of the cover 2 and the collector body 1 simpler, reduces complex structural features, reduces corners and gaps for accommodating urine, makes the cover 2 and the collector body 1 easier to clean, reduces the cleaning difficulty for operators or patients, and improves the overall performance of the urine collector 100.
[0049] Reference Figure 1 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the cover 2 includes a cover body 21 and a connector 22. The cover body 21 covers the opening of the collection cavity 11 and has a mounting hole 213 communicating with the collection cavity 11. For example, the cover body 21 may include a stop portion 212 and a through portion 211, and the stop portion 212 has a mounting hole 213.
[0050] The connector 22 passes through the mounting hole 213 and is rotatable within the mounting hole 213. The end of the connector 22 facing into the collecting cavity 11 is connected to the stirring element 3, and the end of the connector 22 away from the collecting cavity 11 is connected to the rocker arm 4. For example, the connector 22 can be integrally formed with the rocker arm 4, or the connector 22 can be detachably connected to the rocker arm 4. Alternatively, the connector 22 can be integrally formed with the stirring element 3, or the connector 22 can be detachably connected to the stirring element 3.
[0051] By setting a connector 22 to connect the stirring element 3 and the rocker arm 4, and rotatably mounting the connector 22 on the cover body 21, the connection between the rocker arm 4 and the stirring element 3 can be realized. This allows the rocker arm 4 to drive the stirring element 3 to rotate through the connector 22, preventing the cover body 21 from moving during the rotation of the rocker arm 4 and causing it to fall off from the collection chamber 11. This ensures a reliable connection between the cover body 21 and the collector body 1, makes the collection chamber 11 reliably sealed, and improves the reliability of the urine collector 100.
[0052] Reference Figure 1In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the stirring component 3 includes a stirring shaft 31 and stirring blades 32. The stirring shaft 31 rotates in a first direction, and the stirring blades 32 are connected to the radial outer circumferential surface of the stirring shaft 31. One of the stirring shaft 31 and the connecting component 22 is provided with a first locking post 35, and the other is provided with a first locking hole 221. The first locking post 35 passes through the first locking hole 221. The cross-sectional profile of the first locking post 35 is non-circular, and the shape of the first locking hole 221 is adapted to the shape of the first locking post 35. For example, the cross-section of the first locking post 35 can be triangular, rectangular, hexagonal, elliptical, or semi-circular.
[0053] By setting a first locking post 35 with a non-circular cross-section and a first locking hole 221 that matches the shape of the first locking post 35, the structure is simple. The stirring shaft 31 and the connecting member 22 can be connected and fixed by the cooperation of the first locking post 35 and the first locking hole 221, so that when the rocker arm 4 drives the connecting member 22 to rotate, it can reliably drive the stirring shaft 31 to rotate, ensuring the reliability of the urine collector 100. At the same time, the stirring member 3 and the connecting member 22 can be connected or separated by plugging and unplugging, which is convenient for disassembling and assembling the stirring member 3 and the connecting member 22, and for disassembling and assembling the urine collector 100, thereby improving the overall performance of the urine collector 100.
[0054] For example, when the connector 22 is detachably connected to the rocker arm 4, one of the connector 22 and the rocker arm 4 is provided with a second locking post, and the other is provided with a second locking hole. The second locking post passes through the second locking hole, and the cross-sectional outline of the second locking post is non-circular. The shape of the second locking hole matches that of the second locking post. This allows the rocker arm 4 and the connector 22 to be connected or separated by plugging and unplugging, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the rocker arm 4 and the connector 22, and facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the urine collector 100, thereby improving the overall performance of the urine collector 100.
[0055] Reference Figure 1 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, a liquid outlet hole is provided on the radial sidewall of the collector body 1. The urine collector 100 further includes a liquid outlet pipe 61 and a control valve 62. The liquid outlet pipe 61 defines an outflow channel and passes through the liquid outlet hole. The control valve 62 is disposed on the liquid outlet pipe 61 and is used to control the opening and closing of the flow channel. Specifically, the combination of the liquid outlet pipe 61 and the control valve 62 can be a faucet.
[0056] When urine needs to be sampled from the collection chamber 11, the sampling cup can be placed at the end of the outlet tube 61 outside the collection chamber 11. Then, the control valve 62 is activated to open the flow channel. After sampling is completed, the control valve 62 is activated to close the flow channel. By setting the outlet tube 61 and the control valve 62, it is not necessary to open the cover 2 during the sampling process, and it is not necessary to put the cover 2 and the rocker arm 4 back into place after opening the cover 2. This reduces the workload of medical staff, reduces the risk of urine contamination in the collection chamber 11 during sampling, and improves the reliability of the urine collector 100.
[0057] Reference Figure 1 In some alternative embodiments of this utility model, the distance between the outlet hole and the bottom wall of the collector body 1 in the first direction is greater than or equal to 5 cm. For example, the distance between the outlet hole and the bottom wall of the collector body 1 in the first direction can be 5 cm, 5.5 cm, 6 cm, 6.5 cm, 7 cm, 7.5 cm, 8 cm, 8.5 cm, 9 cm, 9.5 cm, or 10 cm. This allows the sampling cup to be placed below the end of the outlet tube 61 located outside the collection chamber 11, so that medical personnel do not need to hold the sampling cup when sampling urine in the collection chamber 11. Medical personnel can complete the urine sampling simply by controlling the control valve 62, which facilitates the sampling of urine in the collection chamber 11 and improves the overall performance of the urine collector 100.
