Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] This embodiment includes a urine collection cup, see attached image. Figure 1 and 2 The device includes a cup body 1, a lid 2, and a sealing strip 3. The lid 2 is threaded and sealed to the top of the cup body 1. The upper opening area of ​​the cup body 1 is larger than the bottom area. The lid 2 has a vertically penetrating pouring port 21 and a pressure balance hole 22. The pouring port 21 is located outside the pressure balance hole 22, and the diameter of the pouring port 21 is larger than the diameter of the pressure balance hole 22. The sealing strip 3 is detachably and sealingly connected to the lid 2. The sealing strip 3 is used to seal the pouring port 21 and the pressure balance hole 22.

[0022] The urine collection cup in this embodiment features an enlarged upper opening area for easier urine collection, effectively preventing splashing and hand contact, thus greatly improving collection convenience. The lid 2 and cup 1 are connected by a threaded seal, ensuring the cup remains sealed during transport and storage, preventing sample leakage and contamination, and protecting sample integrity and reliability. A sealing strip 3 on the lid 2 eliminates the need for the user to open it during collection, ensuring sample sealing upon delivery. During testing, laboratory personnel simply need to remove the sealing strip 3 to quickly pour or transfer the urine sample through the pouring spout 21, reducing the risk of spillage and improving efficiency. Simultaneously, the pressure balance hole 22 allows air to enter the cup 1 to maintain pressure during sample pouring, further simplifying laboratory procedures.

[0023] Preferably, the sealing strip 3 includes an integrally formed connecting part 31, a bending part 32, a sealing part 33, and a sealing plug 34. The bending part 32 is disposed between the connecting part 31 and the sealing part 33, and the sealing plug 34 is disposed at the bottom of the sealing part 33. The outer diameter of the sealing plug 34 is the same as the inner diameter of the pouring port 21. The connecting part 31 is fixed to the cover 2.

[0024] By incorporating an integrally molded sealing strip 3, the urine collection cup is ensured to be airtight when the sealing strip 3 is sealed to the cover 2. This not only effectively prevents leakage of urine during transportation or storage, further protecting the integrity and reliability of the sample, but also allows the sample to be poured out through the pouring spout 21 during laboratory testing without unscrewing the cover 2 from the cup body 1, facilitating operation for laboratory personnel. The connecting part 31 connects to the cover 2, fixing the sealing strip 3 to it. A bending part 32 is provided between the connecting part 31 and the sealing part 33, allowing the sealing strip 3 to be bent along the bending part 32. This makes it easier for laboratory personnel to open the sealing strip 3 when pouring or transferring urine samples, and to easily reseal it afterward, improving work efficiency. The outer diameter of the sealing plug 34 matches the inner diameter of the pouring spout 21, ensuring that the sealing plug 34 corresponds to the pouring spout 21 when the sealing strip 3 is in the sealed state.

[0025] This prevents urine from leaking from the pouring spout 21 during transportation or storage, while the sealing part 33 fits against the upper end of the air pressure balance hole 22, ensuring a tight seal.

[0026] Preferably, a groove 23 is formed on the surface of the cup body 1, and both the pouring spout 21 and the air pressure balance hole 22 are formed in the groove 23. The sealing strip 3 is also formed in the groove 23. By forming a groove 23 on the surface of the lid body 2, not only can the sealing strip 3 fit more tightly against the surface of the cup body 1, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the urine collection cup, but it also prevents the sealing strip 3 from protruding from the upper surface of the lid body 2 when sealing, keeping the lid body 2 flat and easy to store.

[0027] Preferably, a flow outlet 11 is provided on one side of the cup body 1. This facilitates the pouring out of the sample after the cup body 1 is separated from the cup lid, thereby facilitating the handling of the remaining sample after the test is completed.

[0028] Preferably, the bottom of the cover 2 is provided with a liquid-retaining ring 24, the outer diameter of the liquid-retaining ring 24 is the same as the inner diameter of the top of the cup body 1, the liquid-retaining ring 24 extends to the bottom of the guide port 11, the outer side of the liquid-retaining ring 24 is provided with an external thread 25, the inner side of the cup body 1 is provided with an internal thread 12, and the cover 2 is sealed to the cup body 1 through the threaded engagement of the external thread 25 and the internal thread 12.

[0029] By setting the outer diameter of the liquid-retaining ring to be the same as the inner diameter of the top of the cup body 1, a tight fit between the cover 2 and the cup body 1 is ensured, reducing the risk of urine leakage. The liquid-retaining ring 24 extends below the guide port 11, further blocking the path of urine that may splash or overflow from the guide port 11, further enhancing the sealing performance. The external thread 25 on the outer side of the liquid-retaining ring 24 mates with the internal thread 12 on the inner side of the cup body 1, achieving a threaded sealing connection between the cover 2 and the cup body 1.

[0030] Preferably, the inner wall of the cup body 1 is provided with a 10mL graduation line 13. In this embodiment, the cup body 1 is made of transparent material, and a 10mL graduation line 13 is marked inside the cup body 1 to facilitate the user to observe the urine volume when collecting urine.

[0031] Preferably, a label pasting area 14 is provided on the outer side of the cup body 1. By providing a label pasting area on the outer side of the cup body 1, the user is guided to correctly affix the label, avoiding problems with improper labeling and improving the efficiency of subsequent inspection processes.

[0032] Preferably, a handle 15 is provided on the other side of the cup body 1. This facilitates the user or laboratory personnel to hold the cup body 1 or to pour or perform other operations on the cup body 1.

[0033] Preferably, the cap 2 is made of polypropylene, with a pouring spout 21 having a diameter of 0.6 cm and a pressure balancing hole having a diameter of 0.2 cm. The cap 2, made of polypropylene, utilizes the excellent chemical resistance of polypropylene to prevent corrosion from urine during use and ensure sample integrity. The 0.6 cm pouring spout 21 on the cap 2 ensures smooth urine flow while preventing excessive flow that could cause splashing or overflow, thus improving sampling accuracy and convenience. The 0.2 cm pressure balancing hole on the cap 2 satisfies the need for pressure balancing while preventing urine from leaking out, ensuring the seal and accuracy of the urine collection cup.

[0034] Preferably, the cup body 1 is made of polypropylene material, with a bottom inner diameter of 4cm, an upper opening inner diameter of 6cm, and a height of 4cm. The cup body 1 is also made of polypropylene material to avoid corrosion from urine during use. By setting the cup body 1 to the appropriate size, the industry standard requirements for urine sample collection and processing are met.
