[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0020] Specific embodiment 1 of the urine collection device with knee brace structure provided by this utility model:

[0021] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown in this embodiment, a urine collection device with a knee brace structure includes a knee brace body. A urine bag assembly is attached to the outer surface of the knee brace body via Velcro. The knee brace body includes an upper knee brace 1 and a lower knee brace 2. Velcro is provided on the left and right sides of the upper knee brace 1, and Velcro is provided on the left and right sides of the lower knee brace 2. When the knee brace body is worn on the patient's leg, the upper knee brace 1 wraps around the lower part of the patient's thigh and is fixed with Velcro, and the lower knee brace 2 wraps around the upper part of the patient's calf and is fixed with Velcro.

[0022] The urine bag assembly includes an upper urine bag 3 and a lower urine bag 4. The upper urine bag 3 is located above the lower urine bag 4. The bottom of the upper urine bag 3 is connected to the top of the lower urine bag 4 via two connecting tubes 5. A urine tube 6 is connected to the top of the upper urine bag 3, and a urine drain tube 7 is connected to the bottom of the lower urine bag 4. A urine drain valve 8 is installed on the urine drain tube 7. The urine drain valve 8 is designed to control the urine flow rate and reduce the entry of external bacteria into the lower urine bag 4. The patient can open the urine drain valve 8 periodically to allow urine in the urine bag assembly to be discharged through the urine drain tube 7. The upper urine bag 3 is attached to the upper half 1 of the knee brace with Velcro, and the lower urine bag 4 is attached to the lower half 2 of the knee brace with Velcro. The urine bag assembly can be quickly removed or installed from the knee brace. The patient can replace the urine bag assembly as needed, while the knee brace itself can be used for a long time.

[0023] The lower part of the knee brace body is provided with a slot 9, which is used to store and hide the urinary tube 7, so as to prevent the excessively long urinary tube 7 from swinging freely and affecting the patient's activities when not in use.

[0024] In addition, since the urinary catheter 6 is connected to the upper urine bag 3, the patient may pull on the urinary catheter 6 due to large movements, causing serious consequences. In order to provide the patient with more convenient and comfortable wear, the connection of the urinary catheter 6 can be set as follows: The top of the upper part 1 of the knee brace is connected to the connecting tube 10. The urinary catheter 6 is inserted into the connecting tube 10 from the upper end of the connecting tube 10. There is a sealing ring 11 between the upper end of the connecting tube 10 and the urinary catheter 6. The sealing ring 11 is located at the upper end of the connecting tube 10 and slides and seals with the urinary catheter 6. A limiting ring 12 is provided at the end of the urinary catheter 6. The limiting ring 12 prevents the urinary catheter 6 from falling out of the connecting tube 10. The limiting ring 12 can be an air balloon ring. For example, after inserting the lower end of the urinary catheter 6 into the connecting tube 10 through the limiting ring 12, the air balloon ring can be inflated. A first backflow valve 13 is provided at the lower end of the connecting tube 10. The first backflow valve 13 is used to prevent urine in the upper urine bag 3 from flowing back into the urinary catheter 6.

[0025] As another embodiment of this utility model, the following settings can also be made: such as Figure 3 As shown, a buffer tube 14 is connected to the top of the upper part 1 of the knee brace. The outer diameter of the buffer tube 14 is larger than the outer diameter of the urinary catheter 6. A soft sleeve 15 is connected between the opening of the urinary catheter 6 and the upper opening of the buffer tube 14. The urinary catheter 6 is connected to the buffer tube 14 through the soft sleeve 15, allowing the urinary catheter 6 to move within a certain range. When the patient pulls on the urinary catheter 6 during movement, it will not pull on the buffer tube 14. The soft sleeve 15 has a certain degree of elasticity. Under normal conditions, the soft sleeve 15 is in a contracted state, that is, contracted inside the buffer tube 14. When the urinary catheter 6 is not under force, the contraction of the soft sleeve 15 can pull the end of the urinary catheter 6 into the buffer tube 14. A second backflow valve 16 is provided at the lower end of the buffer tube 14. The second backflow valve 16 is also used to prevent urine in the upper urine bag 3 from flowing back into the urinary catheter 6.
