Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a urine collection device. Background Technology

[0002] 24-hour urine protein quantification is a common clinical examination for evaluating kidney function, accurately analyzing the amount of protein excreted in urine each day. Currently, the clinical method for collecting 24-hour urine samples involves collecting the patient's urine in a container, pouring it into a measuring cup to calculate the 24-hour urine output, and then transferring a suitable amount of urine into a specimen tube. Clearly, this method of urine collection has several problems:

[0003] 1. During the process of pouring urine into the measuring cup, splashing may occur, resulting in errors in the total amount of urine sample collected.

[0004] 2. During the process of collecting urine samples into test tubes, urine may splash out, causing contamination.

[0005] 3. The urine collection containers are not easy to carry, and there are cases where patients miss collecting urine when they go out for examinations, resulting in errors in the total amount of urine samples collected;

[0006] 4. The urine has an unusual odor when stored;

[0007] 5. The container has no graduations, making it impossible to directly read the total volume of the urine sample;

[0008] 6. The container is unable to mix the stored urine properly.

[0009] 7. The container cannot directly collect an appropriate amount of urine sample. Utility Model Content

[0010] The existing technology has the following problems: the existing collection containers are too large to be convenient to carry, and they are easy to spill when poured into the measuring cup.

[0011] To address the problems of the existing technology, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0012] A urine collector includes a foldable cylindrical body, wherein the folded cross-section of the cylindrical body is hook-shaped and the hook end faces upward;

[0013] A fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cylinder body near its top and bottom. A handle is provided inside the fixing sleeve, and it is locked by a limit bolt knob threaded on the fixing sleeve.

[0014] The top of the cylinder body is also threadedly connected to a top cover, and the bottom of the cylinder body is also fixedly connected to a liquid outlet connector that communicates with the interior.

[0015] Furthermore, the end of the handle away from the cylinder body is bent.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom cross-section of the inner surface of the cylinder body is funnel-shaped, and its liquid outlet connector is an elbow liquid outlet head, which is also equipped with a control valve.

[0017] Furthermore, a stirring rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the top cover, and stirring blades are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the stirring rod located inside the cylinder body. A rotating disk is fixedly connected to one end of the stirring rod located on the outer side of the top of the top cover.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer surface of the handle is provided with graduations, and the body of the cylinder is semi-transparent.

[0019] Working principle and beneficial effects: By selecting a foldable cylinder body and utilizing the cooperation of the side handle, fixing sleeve, and limit bolt knob, the extension and retraction of the cylinder body after the height is adjusted is limited, which facilitates lifting and moving. The handle can also be removed for overall storage. The cross-section of the fold of the cylinder body is hook-shaped with the hook end facing upward to facilitate the internal liquid to flow down and avoid residue in the fold, thus reducing liquid residue in the cylinder body. The bottom is equipped with a liquid outlet connector that communicates with the inside, making it convenient to pour the liquid in the cylinder body into a measuring cup.

[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown,

[0026] Example

[0027] A urine collector includes a foldable cylindrical body 1. The folded cross-section of the cylindrical body 1 is hook-shaped, with the hook end facing upwards. A fixing sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cylindrical body 1 near its top and bottom. A handle 3 is provided inside the fixing sleeve 2 and is locked by a limiting bolt knob threaded onto the fixing sleeve 2. A top cover 4 is also threadedly connected to the top of the cylindrical body 1, and a liquid outlet 5 communicating with the interior is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylindrical body 1. By selecting a foldable cylindrical body 1 and utilizing the handle 3 installed on the side... The cooperation of the fixing sleeve 2 and the limiting bolt knob restricts the extension and retraction of the cylinder body 1 after the height is adjusted, while facilitating lifting and movement. The handle 3 can also be disassembled for storage. The cross-section of the crease of the cylinder body 1 is hook-shaped with the hook end facing upward to allow the internal liquid to flow down and avoid residue in the crease, thus reducing liquid residue inside the cylinder body 1. A liquid outlet connector 5 is provided at the bottom, which communicates with the interior, to facilitate pouring the liquid inside the cylinder body 1 into a measuring cup. To facilitate gripping the handle 3 and moving the cylinder body 1, the handle 3 should be kept away from the cylinder body 1. One end of the cylinder body 1 is bent; to reduce the amount of liquid residue inside the cylinder body 1 and to facilitate the discharge of liquid from the cylinder body 1, the cross-section of the bottom of the inner surface of the cylinder body 1 is funnel-shaped, and its liquid outlet connector 5 is a bent liquid outlet head, which is also equipped with a control valve. The discharge of liquid outlet connector 5 is controlled by opening and closing the control valve; in order to solve the problem that the concentration of the liquid contained inside is inconsistent after a day of sedimentation, a stirring device is also installed on the top cover. The specific structure is that a stirring rod 6 is rotatably connected to the middle of the top cover 4, and the stirring rod 6 is located on the cylinder body. A stirring blade is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the body 1. A rotating disk is fixedly connected to one end of the stirring rod 6 located on the outer side of the top of the top cover 4. By rotating the rotating disk, the stirring rod 6 is driven to rotate, so that the stirring blade on the stirring rod will mix the liquid in the body 1 to improve the accuracy of the detection. In order to facilitate the observation of the volume of the internal liquid, a scale is set on the outer surface of the handle 3. The liquid level can be clearly seen in the body 1 under the light. The scale on the handle 3 can be used as a reference to read the data. The best effect is that the body 1 is semi-transparent.
