Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of medical testing and nursing equipment, and in particular relates to a urine analyzer and a wearable urine monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] The one-hour pad test is a method used to assess the severity of urinary incontinence, especially in diagnosing stress urinary incontinence. The basic steps of the test are as follows: Preparation: First, a clean pad needs to be prepared, and its dry weight accurately measured before use. This is to ensure accurate calculation of the amount of urine absorbed by the pad later. Test Start: The subject wears the weighed pad and then performs a series of activities simulating daily life, such as standing, walking, climbing stairs, coughing, and jumping. These actions may induce urinary incontinence. The entire process lasts approximately one hour. End and Assessment: After one hour, the pad's weight is collected and weighed again. By comparing the weight difference of the pad before and after the test, the amount of urine absorbed by the pad during this period can be determined. Based on the amount of urine absorbed, urinary incontinence can be classified into mild, moderate, and severe levels.
[0003] During the aforementioned testing process, the wearer must wear the incontinence pad at all times. Especially when the pad absorbs urine, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause skin redness, itching, or even skin breakdown and a urine odor. Furthermore, the pad can restrict freedom of movement, particularly during exercise or strenuous activity, making it unsuitable for some able-bodied individuals with urinary incontinence. The testing process is also cumbersome, as it cannot directly and accurately record the amount of leaked urine; instead, it determines the amount indirectly through weighing. Some patients with mild cases leak only a few milliliters of urine, which cannot be accurately measured by weighing, potentially missing these cases and causing early diagnosis and treatment to be missed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a urine monitoring device suitable for mobile patients with urinary incontinence, which allows for direct observation of urine leakage.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0026] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a urine measuring device includes:
[0028] The urine receiving device 100 is provided with a urine receiving port 101 and can be connected to the patient.
[0029] The urine measuring device 200 includes a urine storage section 201, a urine storage cavity 207 is provided in the urine storage section 201, and a drainage section 300 is provided on the urine receiving device 100, which is connected to the urine receiving port 101 and the urine storage cavity 207. The surface of the urine storage section 201 is also provided with a measurement marking section.
[0030] In this embodiment, the urine inlet 101 is fitted over the patient's genitals. Urine flows through the urine inlet 101 and the drainage section 300 to the urine storage section 201. The urine storage section 201 is used to receive and store the patient's urine, isolating the urine from the patient and reducing the patient's discomfort. The measurement marking section 203 on the surface of the urine storage section 201 allows nursing staff to visually observe and operate the urine volume in the urine storage cavity 207, which is very convenient. During the experiment, the patient can put the urine measuring device 200 in their trouser leg, which is convenient for the patient to carry with them and will not cause discomfort when the patient moves.
[0031] In a further preferred embodiment, a support portion 202 is provided inside the urine storage cavity 207. The support portion 202 includes a support column located inside the urine storage cavity 207. Both ends of the support column are connected to the cavity wall of the urine storage cavity 207. When the urine storage cavity 201 is squeezed, the support column will bear part of the squeezing force, so the squeezing force on the urine storage cavity 201 will be reduced, and the amount of deformation will also be reduced, thus reducing the occurrence of urine squeezing and overflow.
[0032] It is worth mentioning that the support column has a hollow structure, which facilitates blow molding of the support column.
[0033] Specifically, the urine storage part 201 is elliptical in shape, and the support part 202 is used to support the short radius direction of the urine storage part 201. The elliptical cylindrical design makes it easier to insert the urine storage part 201 into the trouser leg without it rotating, conforming to the physiological structure of the inner thigh. When the urine storage part 201 is inserted into the trouser leg, the short radius end of the urine storage part 201 abuts against the inner thigh.
[0034] In a further preferred embodiment, the bottom of the urine storage section 201 is integrally provided with a pointed conical urine storage section 204. The conical design at the bottom of the urine storage section 201 is for measuring small amounts of urine, such as less than 1 ml. This is because when the container is conical, changes in the liquid level are more sensitive near the bottom, and small changes in liquid volume can lead to significant changes in liquid level height, allowing for more accurate reading of subtle volume differences. When the shape of the urine storage section 201 is elliptical cylindrical, the bottom of the urine storage section 201 is integrally provided with an elliptical pointed conical urine storage section 204.
[0035] It is worth mentioning that the measuring marking section 203 includes a marking area on the urine storage section 201, which includes multiple areas such as light, medium, heavy and extremely heavy; at the same time, the urine storage section 201 is also provided with actual volume scale markings.
[0036] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate observation of the liquid inside the urine storage section 201, the urine storage section 201 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material.
[0037] In a further preferred embodiment, the drainage section 300 is provided with a flow interrupter 301. Before the urine collection part is removed from the patient, the flow interrupter 301 is used to clamp the drainage section 300, thereby disconnecting the connection between the urine collection part 100 and the urine storage part 201 and preventing urine in the urine storage part 201 from overflowing backward from the urine collection port 101.
[0038] It is worth mentioning that the drainage section 300 includes a drainage tube.
[0039] Preferably, the urine measuring device 200 is made of a plastic material, which is stable in shape and not easily deformed, but it is also deformable, so that the urine storage part 201 will not cause discomfort to the patient due to contact with a hard surface; while the urine receiving part 100 and the drainage part 300 are made of soft rubber material and are integrally molded; and the urine measuring device 200 is provided with a connecting post 208 that communicates with the urine storage cavity 207, and the other end of the drainage part 300 can be fitted onto the connecting post 208 to achieve a fixed connection between the urine measuring device 200 and the urine receiving part 100, so that the urine meter does not need to be assembled and can be used immediately after being taken out of the packaging bag. The product is compact and easy to clean; when observing the urine in the urine storage part 201, the drainage part 300 can be squeezed by hand to raise the liquid in the urine storage part 201 to eye level for reading.
[0040] It is worth mentioning that after the urine meter is fixed to the patient, the drainage part 300 is located at the bottom of the urine receiving part 100 and is in a vertical position or tilted towards the patient, so that there will be no protrusion on the pants after the patient puts on pants, effectively protecting the patient's privacy.
[0041] To facilitate the emptying of urine stored in the urine storage section 201, a drain outlet 205 is provided on the urine storage section 201. The drain outlet 205 is connected to the urine storage chamber 207, and a detachable plug 206 can be installed on the drain outlet 205. During the use of the urine inlet 101 to collect urine, the plug 206 keeps the drain outlet 205 sealed. When it is necessary to empty the urine, the plug 206 is opened, the urine storage section 201 is poured out, and the liquid in the urine storage chamber 207 can be poured out.
[0042] It is worth mentioning that the urine receiving device 100 is provided with a urine receiving cavity 102 connected to the urine receiving port 101, and the urine receiving device 100 is provided with a vent 103 connected to the urine receiving cavity 102. The vent 103 is also provided with a plug 206. Under normal use, the plug 206 covers the vent 103. During use, the vent 103 can be opened occasionally to release the moisture in the urine receiving cavity 102 and exchange it with the outside air, so as to maximize the patient's comfort.
[0043] More preferably, the urine receiving device 100 is provided with an installation part 104, which is used to connect with the fixed pants. The installation part 104 includes two leg connecting parts 105. The two leg connecting parts 105 are independent of each other, and the connection between the two leg connecting parts 105 and the urine receiving device 100 is arc-shaped.
[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, for male patients, the urine analyzer can be used with the support pants to meet their needs. However, for some male and female patients with atrophy, the above-mentioned urine analyzer is not suitable, and a urine analyzer as shown in Figure 1 is required. This urine analyzer also needs to be used with the support pants. The urine analyzer is worn on the patient's body using the support pants. The mounting part 104 on the urine storage part 201 is connected to the support pants by a snap fastener. In order to increase the connection stability of the urine analyzer, a leg connection part 105 is provided on the urine analyzer, that is, it is located in the leg area. In order to reduce the friction between the leg connection part 105 and the inner thigh, the two leg connection parts 105 are set independently, and the connection between the two leg connection parts 105 and the urine receiving part 100 is a concave arc transition, which reduces the connection with the urine receiving part 100, increases its deformability, and adapts to the deformation of the leg. At the same time, it can also avoid the leg connection parts 105 from causing cuts, scratches or other injuries to the patient.
[0045] It should be noted that the installation part 104 also includes an upper connecting part 106 provided on the urine receiving part 100 to ensure the connection stability between the urine receiving part 100 and the fixed pants.
[0046] More preferably, the urinary inlet 101 is provided with a sealing part 107 for contact with the skin, and the sealing part 107 includes a groin sealing end 108, which abuts against the groin of the female patient to ensure a close fit. Figure 1 The urine analyzer shown can be used by both male and female patients with atrophy.
[0047] A wearable urine monitoring device includes the aforementioned urine meter and a fixed pair of pants. The crotch of the fixed pair of pants has an installation hole. After the urine receiver 100 passes through the installation hole, the urine receiver 100 and the fixed pair of pants are connected by a snap fastener. After the urine receiver 100 is put on the patient's genitals, the patient can put on the fixed pair of pants to install and use the urine meter.
[0048] It is worth mentioning that the fixed pants can fix the urine collection device 100 to the patient. Since the urine measuring device 200 is fixedly connected to the urine collection device 100, no additional device is needed to support the urine measuring device 200 when it is stuffed into the pants leg.
