[0002] Urine examination is a detection method of medicine. It includes urine routine analysis, detection of formed elements in urine (such as urine red blood cells, white blood cells, etc.), quantitative determination of protein components, and determination of urine enzymes. Urine examination has a very important value for clinical diagnosis, judgment of curative effect and prognosis.

[0003] At present, in the process of clinical examination, when patients collect urine samples by themselves, they often collect too much urine due to lack of medical knowledge, resulting in that the sample tube is overfilled. This situation can cause the automatic analysis equipment to not operate normally. The technical personnel must manually open the sample tube and extract the excess sample, which increases the labor cost and affects the work efficiency. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a urine collection device, which aims to solve the defect that the labor cost is increased and the work efficiency is affected due to excessive urine collection in the related art.

[0005] Additional aspects and advantages of the present application will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present application, a urine collection device is provided.

[0007] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a urine collection device comprises:

[0008] The collection device is internally provided with a receiving cavity for receiving a urine sample, the receiving cavity is provided with a partition position, the part of the receiving cavity above the partition position is provided as an upper cavity, and the part of the receiving cavity below the partition position is provided as a lower cavity;

[0009] The partition body is located at the partition position and is used to separate the upper cavity and the lower cavity;

[0010] When the urine sample is collected, the urine sample is stored in the upper cavity, and the partition body blocks the urine sample from passing downward beyond the partition position; under the action of centrifugation, the urine sample passes beyond the partition position and flows into the lower cavity from the upper cavity.

[0011] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the circumferential side wall of the partition body is fixedly connected with the circumferential inner wall of the collection device, and under the action of centrifugation, the urine sample can flow into the lower cavity through the partition body.

[0012] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the partition body is configured as a film that is insoluble in the urine sample.

[0013] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the partition body is configured as a silica gel valve.

[0014] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the partition body comprises a ring-shaped member and a film that is insoluble in the urine sample, a circumferential outer wall of the ring-shaped member is fixedly connected to a circumferential inner wall of the collection device, and the film is fixedly connected to the circumferential inner wall of the ring-shaped member on an inner side of the ring-shaped member.

[0015] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the circumferential outer wall of the partition body is tightly fitted to the circumferential inner wall of the collection device, and under the action of the centrifugal force, the urine sample and the partition body can move together into the lower cavity.

[0016] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the partition body is configured as a sealing member; when the urine sample is collected, the sealing member is placed in the separation position by the frictional force between the sealing member and the collection device; and under the action of the centrifugal force, the sealing member overcomes the frictional force between the sealing member and the collection device and moves to the lower cavity.

[0020] In the urine collection device provided in the example embodiment of the present application, the partition body is arranged at the separation position, so that the receiving cavity is divided into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. Therefore, during the urine collection process, the urine can only fill in the upper cavity and cannot flow into the lower cavity, so that the collection amount of the urine is accurately controlled. After the collection is completed, the urine is caused to flow smoothly into the lower cavity by applying a centrifugal force, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the automatic analysis equipment cannot normally operate due to overfilling of the urine sample. During the urine collection process, the partition body plays a role in reducing the storage space of the collection device, so that the urine sample in the collection device cannot be overfilled. Under the centrifugal action of the collection device, the partition body changes, and part of the urine sample can enter the lower cavity, so as to play a role in increasing the storage space of the collection device, so that the urine sample in the receiving cavity cannot be overfilled, and the automatic analysis equipment can normally operate. There is no need for a technician to manually open the sample tube and extract the excess sample, so as to reduce the labor cost and improve the work efficiency.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] As shown in the embodiments of the present application, a urine collecting device comprises: Figure 1 The collecting device 1 is internally provided with a receiving cavity 11 for receiving a urine sample, and the receiving cavity 11 is provided with a partition site, the part of the receiving cavity 11 above the partition site is provided as an upper cavity 111, and the part of the receiving cavity 11 below the partition site is provided as a lower cavity 112;

[0036] The partition body is located at the partition site and is used to separate the upper cavity 111 and the lower cavity 112;

[0037] The partition body is located at the partition site and is used to separate the upper cavity 111 and the lower cavity 112;

[0038] When the urine sample is collected, the urine sample is stored in the upper cavity 111, and the partition body is used to block the urine sample from passing downward beyond the separation position; under the action of centrifugation, the urine sample passes beyond the separation position and flows from the upper cavity 111 into the lower cavity 112.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the upper cavity 111 is located above the lower cavity 112, and the separation function of the partition body in the receiving cavity 11 is utilized to ensure that when the patient collects urine, the urine sample is limited to filling the upper cavity 111 and will not penetrate into the lower cavity 112, thereby achieving precise control of the amount of urine sample collected. When entering the preparation stage before detection, if the amount of urine sample stored in the upper cavity 111 is small, the experimental operation can be directly performed; and for the collection device that has collected more urine sample, a centrifugal force needs to be applied to the collection device 1, so that the urine sample can pass beyond the separation position and smoothly flow into the lower cavity 112, thereby achieving adjustment and transfer of the urine sample. The abnormal operation of the automatic analysis equipment caused by overfilling of the urine sample is effectively avoided, and manual intervention such as opening the sample tube to extract excess sample is not needed. Therefore, the labor cost is significantly reduced, and the work efficiency of the laboratory is greatly improved.

[0040] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the volume of the upper cavity 111 is 4.3 milliliters, and the volume of the lower cavity 112 is 1.96 milliliters. Of course, this is not limiting. The collection device 1 is set as a medical test tube, which can efficiently perform centrifugal processing on the sample in cooperation with the centrifuge. Of course, this is not limiting.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the circumferential side wall of the partition body is fixedly connected with the circumferential inner wall of the collection device 1, and under the action of centrifugation, the urine sample can flow into the lower cavity 112 through the partition body.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the partition body is set as a film 2 that is insoluble in the urine sample, and specifically, a medical-grade film 2 made of polyethylene can be selected. When the urine sample is stored in the upper cavity 111 and the collection device 1 is processed under the action of centrifugal force, the urine sample can break through the film 2 and smoothly flow into the lower cavity 112. Therefore, it is ensured that the urine sample will not have the phenomenon of excessive storage in the receiving cavity 11. When the experiment needs to be performed, the technician can directly insert the experimental needle into the lower cavity 112 to extract the urine sample.

[0043] Embodiment 2

[0044] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the partition is a silicone valve 3, whose outer circumferential wall is firmly connected to the inner wall of the collection device 1 by adhesive bonding, forming a tight sealing structure. Under centrifugal force, the urine sample exerts pressure on the silicone valve 3, causing the silicone valve 3 to open automatically, thereby allowing the urine sample to flow smoothly into the lower cavity 112, realizing the automatic transfer of the urine sample. More importantly, when performing testing, the silicone valve 3 does not obstruct the passage of the experimental needle, allowing technicians to easily pass the experimental needle through the silicone valve 3 and accurately extract the urine sample.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the partition includes an annular component 4 and a film 2 that is insoluble in urine samples; specifically, the annular component 4 is configured as an annular plate, and the film 2 is a medical-grade film 2 made of polyethylene. Of course, this is not a limitation.

[0047] The outer circumferential wall of the annular component 4 is firmly connected to the inner wall of the collection device 1 by adhesive bonding, forming a tight sealing structure. A through hole 41 is provided in the center of the annular component 4, and the membrane 2 is located at the outlet of the through hole 41, with its outer circumferential wall fixedly connected to the inner circumferential wall of the environmental component.

[0048] When the collection device 1 processes urine samples under centrifugal force, the urine sample can break through the membrane 2 and flow smoothly into the lower cavity 112. When experiments are required, technicians can use a test needle to pass through the annular part 4 into the lower cavity 112 through the through hole 41 to extract the urine sample. Through the above structure, the area of ​​the membrane 2 is effectively reduced, lowering the risk of the membrane 2 clogging the test needle.

[0049] Example 4

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the circumferential outer wall of the partition body is tightly fitted with the circumferential inner wall of the collection device 1, and under the action of centrifugal force, the urine sample and the partition body can move together into the lower cavity 112.

[0051] Specifically, the partition is configured as a sealing element 5, which can be made of a high-sealing material such as silicone or rubber, and is located at the partition position to form an interference fit with the inner wall of the collection device 1. During urine collection, the sealing element 5 can be stably positioned at the partition position through the frictional force between it and the collection device 1.

[0052] When the collecting device 1 is processed under the action of centrifugal force, the sealing piece 5 overcomes the friction between the inner wall of the collecting device 1 and moves to the bottom of the collecting device 1. The upper cavity 111 and the lower cavity 112 are communicated to form an integrated structure. Thus, it is effectively ensured that the urine sample will not appear excessive.

[0053] It is worth noting that in order to ensure that the partition body can smoothly slide towards the lower cavity 112 under the action of centrifugal force, the collecting device 1 should be provided with an exhaust hole 7 at the bottom of the lower cavity 112, so that the lower cavity 112 can be in communication with the outside. When the sealing piece 5 slides downward, the air in the lower cavity 112 can be smoothly discharged to ensure that the sealing piece 5 can smoothly slide in the collecting device 1.

[0054] Through the above structure, when the technician uses the experimental needle to insert into the receiving cavity 11 to collect the urine sample, the technical needle can be directly inserted into the lower cavity 112 without passing through the partition body, thereby completely avoiding the phenomenon of needle blockage caused by the experimental needle passing through the partition body.

[0055] As shown in Figure 6 In the embodiment of the present application, the urine collecting device further comprises an adjusting rod 6, which can be inserted into the upper cavity 111 from the top of the collecting device 1, and the adjusting rod 6 and the partition body have a detachable connection structure. When it is necessary to install the partition body inside the collecting device 1, the adjusting rod 6 and the partition body are connected through the connection structure, and then the partition body is moved to the separation position through the adjusting rod 6. The connection structure between the adjusting rod 6 and the partition body is then detached. Thus, the adjusting rod 6 provides convenience for workers to install and adjust the position of the partition body.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the connection structure can adopt a threaded connection mode, for example, the circumferential side wall of the bottom of the adjusting rod 6 is processed with a threaded structure, and the top of the partition body is provided with a threaded hole. The bottom of the adjusting rod 6 is inserted into the threaded hole and rotated, thereby realizing the connection of the adjusting rod 6 and the partition body. The adjusting rod 6 can be detached by reversing the rotation. It is worth noting that the above is only an exemplary description of the connection structure, and the specific structure is not limited thereto.

[0057] Other embodiments of the application will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the application. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with the true scope and spirit of the application being indicated by the following claims.
