Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of urine measurement technology, specifically to a urine colorimetric measuring cup. Background Technology

[0002] For patients with kidney disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, shock, burns, and other acute and critical illnesses, accurate recording of urine output is essential, as it is crucial for assessing their condition and determining the effectiveness of treatment.

[0003] Measuring cups are mainly used to measure liquids of various volumes. They can also be used to calculate the volume of irregular solid substances and sometimes as glass cylinders or receivers.

[0004] In the medical field, urine collection and volume recording are necessary for some kidney disease patients. This is typically done using a measuring cup. Besides recording volume, urine test strips can be immersed in the urine, ensuring the testing area is fully in contact. Depending on the test, the chemical substances on the strip react with the corresponding components in the urine, producing a color change. After a specified time, the color of the test strip is compared to the corresponding standard color chart on the measuring cup to determine the content or nature of various components in the urine, such as the presence or concentration of proteins, glucose, bilirubin, and ketones. Therefore, the measuring cup can also serve a colorimetric function.

[0005] However, existing measuring cups are not intuitive enough to read urine volume. The readings need to be raised to eye level to identify the scale before the reading can be taken. This is not only inconvenient, but also poses a risk of spilling urine or contaminating the person being measured. Furthermore, it is difficult for elderly patients or those with poor eyesight to read the readings accurately. Therefore, improvements are needed.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a urine colorimetric measuring cup. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a urine colorimetric measuring cup to overcome the problems existing in the prior art.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A urine colorimetric measuring cup includes a measuring cup body with a handle. An auxiliary reading component is disposed inside the measuring cup body. The auxiliary reading component includes a guide cavity, which is vertically disposed on the inner wall of the measuring cup body. A float is disposed inside the guide cavity and is slidably connected to the guide cavity. The float is used to assist in identifying the volume of urine in the measuring cup body.

[0010] Furthermore, a guide groove is provided on the inner wall of the guide cavity, and a guide rod is provided on the side wall of the float, with the end of the guide rod slidably connected to the guide groove.

[0011] Furthermore, scale lines are provided on both sides of the measuring cup body, and a scale display ruler is provided on the side of the float near the inner wall of the measuring cup body.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting opening is provided at the bottom of the guide cavity, and the guide cavity is connected to the interior of the measuring cup body through the connecting opening.

[0013] Furthermore, a display screen is provided on the grip.

[0014] Furthermore, an electronic scale is installed at the bottom of the measuring cup body.

[0015] Furthermore, the display screen is electrically connected to the electronic scale, and the display screen is used to display the weight measured by the electronic scale.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention uses a float to help identify the volume of urine in the measuring cup. The float slides in the guide cavity and always floats on the surface of the urine, which can more intuitively and accurately indicate the position of the urine surface. It can help users accurately identify the volume of urine in the measuring cup without having to lift the measuring cup frequently. Since it is not necessary to lift the measuring cup, the risk of urine spillage is also reduced, which is more in line with practical needs.

[0018] This invention can also weigh urine in a measuring cup and display the weight on a screen on the handle. Weighing provides a more accurate reflection of the actual loss or gain of body water. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Combination Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a urine colorimetric measuring cup, including a measuring cup body 1, a handle 2 on the measuring cup body 1, and an auxiliary reading component inside the measuring cup body 1. The auxiliary reading component includes a guide cavity 3, which is vertically disposed on the inner wall of the measuring cup body 1. A float 9 is disposed inside the guide cavity 3 and is slidably connected to the guide cavity 3. The float 9 is used to assist in identifying the volume of urine in the measuring cup body 1.

[0027] Existing urine colorimetric measuring cups typically rely solely on the scale to read urine volume. When the urine surface is not level with the scale or the measuring cup is not placed vertically, reading errors are easily generated.

[0028] In this invention, the volume of urine in the measuring cup body 1 can be identified by a float ball 9. The float ball 9 slides in the guide cavity 3 and always floats on the surface of the urine, which can more intuitively and accurately indicate the liquid level of the urine. It can help users accurately identify the volume of urine in the measuring cup without frequently lifting the measuring cup. Since it is not necessary to lift the measuring cup, the risk of urine spillage is also reduced, which is more in line with actual needs.

[0029] The urine colorimetric measuring cup of this invention can also immerse the urine test strip in urine, ensuring that the detection area on the test strip is in full contact with the urine. Depending on the test item, the chemical substances on the test strip will react with the corresponding components in the urine, producing a color change and achieving a colorimetric effect.

[0030] Please see Figures 3-5 The inner wall of the guide cavity 3 is provided with a guide groove 8, and the side wall of the float 9 is provided with a guide rod 10. The end of the guide rod 10 is slidably connected to the guide groove 8. Both sides of the measuring cup body 1 are provided with scale lines 4. The side of the float 9 near the inner wall of the measuring cup body 1 is provided with a scale display ruler 11. Through the sliding connection between the guide rod 10 and the guide groove 8, the float 9 can be prevented from rotating, ensuring that the scale display ruler 11 is always horizontal with the scale lines 4 on both sides of the measuring cup body 1.

[0031] Preferably, the scale line 4 can be set to different colors, and numbers can be marked next to the scale line for easy reading.

[0032] It should be noted that because the guide cavity 3 inside the measuring cup body 1 occupies a portion of the space, the scale lines 4 on both sides of the measuring cup body 1 are adaptively designed so that the height of the scale lines 4 can accurately reflect the actual volume of urine inside the measuring cup body 1. The scale display ruler 11 allows users to more intuitively see the urine reading, improving measurement accuracy.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 The bottom of the guide cavity 3 is provided with a connecting opening 7, and the guide cavity 3 is connected to the interior of the measuring cup body 1 through the connecting opening 7.

[0034] This design ensures that the urine level in the guide cavity 3 is consistent with the urine level in the measuring cup body 1.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 The handle 2 is equipped with a display screen 6, and the bottom of the measuring cup body 1 is equipped with an electronic scale 5. The display screen 6 is electrically connected to the electronic scale 5, and the display screen 6 is used to display the weight measured by the electronic scale 5.

[0036] It is important to note that this invention can also weigh the urine in the measuring cup and display the weight on the screen 6 on the handle 2. Weighing provides a more accurate reflection of the actual loss or gain of body fluids. This is because different urine components have different densities; the same volume of urine will have different weights depending on its composition. For example, the urine of diabetic patients has a high glucose content, making it heavier than normal urine. Simply measuring volume may underestimate or overestimate the actual amount of water excreted. Weighing directly provides the actual weight of the urine, offering more reliable information for assessing body fluid balance, especially in cases of polyuria, oliguria, or edema.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
