[0001] This utility model relates to a urine collection structure, and more particularly to a simple urine collector. Background Technology

[0002] Urine testing is an essential laboratory procedure in hospital outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, and during surgery. Currently, hospitals use urine collection devices that first collect urine in a plastic cup and then pour it into a test tube. A problem with this method is that urine can easily splash out and contaminate the collector's fingers, causing inconvenience, especially for female collectors. Due to the structure of the urethra, urination is often projectile, making it difficult to control accuracy and ensure urine doesn't end up in the cup. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, this invention proposes a simple urine collection device.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a simple urine collection device, including a test tube, a fixed leak-proof mesh sleeve, a pusher and a sponge sleeve;

[0005] The urine-preserving mesh sleeve is movably inserted into the test tube. The urine-preserving mesh sleeve has multiple urine-preserving holes, and the bottom end of the urine-preserving mesh sleeve has a fixing hole.

[0006] The push rod is provided with a sponge sleeve, and the top and bottom ends of the push rod extend out of the sponge sleeve respectively. The push rod is also provided with a push cover at the top of the sponge sleeve. The end of the sponge sleeve away from the push cover is a free end, and the free end moves along the push rod under the action of external force.

[0007] The outer diameters of the sponge sleeve and the push-cap are both smaller than the inner diameter of the fixed urine leakage net sleeve.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 A simple urine collection device is shown, comprising a test tube 1, a urine-fixing mesh sleeve 2, a pusher 3, and a sponge sleeve 4;

[0023] The fixed urine leakage mesh sleeve 2 is movably inserted into the test tube 1. The fixed urine leakage mesh sleeve 2 is provided with multiple urine leakage holes 201, and the bottom end of the fixed urine leakage mesh sleeve 2 is provided with a fixing hole 202.

[0024] The push rod 3 is provided with a sponge sleeve 4, and the top and bottom ends of the push rod 3 extend out of the sponge sleeve 4 respectively. The push rod 3 is also provided with a push cover 5 at the top of the sponge sleeve 4. The end of the sponge sleeve 4 away from the push cover is a free end 401. The free end 401 moves along the push rod 3 under the action of external force.

[0025] The outer diameters of the sponge sleeve 4 and the push-cap 5 are both smaller than the inner diameter of the fixed urine leakage net sleeve 2. The bottom end of the push-cap 3 is movably inserted into the fixing hole 202 of the fixed urine leakage net sleeve 2. The free end 401 of the sponge sleeve 4 and the push-cap 5 are movably inserted into the fixed urine leakage net sleeve 2 along with the push-cap 3.

[0026] The inner diameter of the fixing hole 202 is larger than the outer diameter of the push rod 3 and smaller than the outer diameter of the sponge sleeve 4.

[0027] Before using this simple urine collection device, firstly, insert the urine-fixing mesh sleeve 2 into the test tube 1 through the opening of the test tube 1. The test tube 1 secures the urine-fixing mesh sleeve 2. Then, the urine collector holds the top of the push rod 3 and places the sponge rod 4 below the urethral opening. The collector's urine flows onto the sponge sleeve 4, which absorbs the urine. Since the sponge sleeve 4 is mounted on the push rod 3, the collector holds the top of the push rod 3 and inserts the bottom of the push rod 3 into the fixing hole 202 inside the urine-fixing mesh sleeve 2. The fixing hole 202 limits the movement of the push rod 3. As the device moves towards the bottom of test tube 1, the sponge sleeve 4 is inserted into the fixed urine leakage mesh sleeve 2. Since the fixed urine leakage mesh sleeve 2 is located inside test tube 1, the pusher 3 is pushed down, and the pusher cap 5 moves down synchronously with the pusher 3. Because the free end 401 of the sponge sleeve 4 is limited by the bottom of the fixed urine leakage mesh sleeve 2, the free end 401 of the sponge sleeve 4 moves towards the pusher cap 5 as the pusher cap 5 squeezes the sponge sleeve 4 downward, thus squeezing the sponge sleeve 4 and causing the urine absorbed on the sponge sleeve 4 to leak from the urine leakage hole 201 on the fixed urine leakage mesh sleeve 2 into test tube 1, thereby collecting the urine.

[0028] This invention utilizes the absorbent properties of the sponge sleeve, which immediately absorbs urine upon contact with it, preventing splashing and replacing existing urine cups, thus facilitating urine collection. Furthermore, after urine collection, the bottom of the leak-proof mesh sleeve 2 and the push-press cap 5 are used to squeeze the sponge sleeve 4, expelling the absorbed urine. Throughout the process, the urine collector does not need to touch the sponge sleeve 4, effectively preventing splashing and contamination of the collector's hands or clothing, thus improving the convenience and hygiene of urine collection.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the fixed urine leakage net sleeve 2 includes a base plate 204 and a hollow cylindrical side wall 205. The base plate 204 is located at the bottom end of the cylindrical side wall 205. Both the base plate 204 and the cylindrical side wall 205 are provided with urine leakage holes 201, and the fixing hole 202 is located at the center of the base plate 204. In this application, the push rod 3 is fixed by the fixing hole 202 at the center of the base plate 204, and the cylindrical side wall 205 limits and squeezes the sponge sleeve 4. As the push rod 3 is inserted into the fixing hole 202 and moves downward, the free end 401 of the sponge sleeve 4 first contacts the base plate 204. As the top of the sponge sleeve 4 moves downward with the push cover 5, the base plate 204 limits the sponge sleeve 4. As the push rod 3 moves towards the bottom of the test tube 1, the free end 401 of the sponge sleeve 4 moves along the push rod 3 towards the top of the push rod 3, thereby squeezing the sponge sleeve 4 between the base plate 204 and the push cover 5, squeezing out the urine and leaking it into the test tube 1 through the urine leakage hole 201.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the urine-fixing mesh sleeve 2 in this application is provided with a fixing sleeve 203, the outer diameter of which is larger than the inner diameter of the test tube 1. That is, the fixing sleeve 203 is used to limit and fix the urine-fixing mesh sleeve 2 inserted into the test tube 1, making it easy for the urine-fixing mesh sleeve 2 to be inserted into or removed from the test tube 1.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the sponge sleeve 4 near the push cover 5 is fixedly connected to the push cover 5, so that the movement of the push cover 5 can drive the movement of the sponge sleeve 4, thereby improving the positional movement efficiency of the sponge sleeve 4 on the push rod 3.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the free end 401 of the sponge sleeve 4 in this application is funnel-shaped. The sponge sleeve 4, which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, is easy to insert into the fixed urine leakage net sleeve 2, which improves the efficiency of inserting the sponge sleeve 4 into the fixed urine leakage net sleeve 2 and effectively avoids the situation where the urine absorbed by the bottom end of the sponge sleeve 4 is squeezed out when the sponge sleeve 4 comes into contact with the cylindrical side wall 205 of the fixed urine leakage net sleeve 2.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the free end 401 of the sponge sleeve 4 in this application moves along the push rod 3 for a shorter distance than the push rod 3 inserts into the fixing hole 202. This ensures that the length of the push rod 3 along the fixing hole 202 is greater than the length of the sponge sleeve 4 moving along the push rod, thus ensuring the squeezing effect on the sponge sleeve 4 and guaranteeing the amount of urine collected.

[0034] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0035] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
