Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a urine sampling container. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical medical practice, urine sample collection and analysis are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various diseases. Traditionally, urine samples are collected using disposable plastic urine cups and then poured into test tubes. Because the traditional open-ended urine cups only have a thumb-sized grip on the side, urine is prone to splashing, easily contaminating the external or collection environment, affecting sample purity, and causing healthcare workers to easily shed patient bodily fluids, increasing the risk of infection. Overall, the procedure is inconvenient, resulting in a poor user experience for both doctors and patients. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved medical urine collection cup to solve the problems of existing urine cups being inconvenient to operate, prone to splashing, and having poor hygiene and user experience.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model first provides an improved medical urine collection cup, comprising: a cup body, which is nearly cylindrical with an open upper part, and has a bottom wall and a side wall, with a drainage port above the side wall; a flow channel, the inner end of which is connected to the side wall and communicates with the inner cavity of the cup body, the upper part of which is open, and the outer end of which extends away from the cup body in the length direction, gradually sloping upward from the inside to the outside, and gradually concave downward from both sides to the middle in the width direction; and a handle, the inner end of which is connected to the side wall, and the outer end of which extends away from the cup body in a direction different from the extension direction of the flow channel.

[0005] This design features a flow channel and a handle on the side wall of the cup. Holding the handle allows the cup to be moved, keeping the hand as far away from the cup as possible during urine sample collection, minimizing urine splashing. The independent flow channel effectively collects urine and guides it into the cup, further reducing splashing. After collection, the urine is transferred from the cup to the testing container via the drainage port, completing the urine sample collection process. This urine cup improves ease of operation, facilitates urine sample collection, and significantly enhances hygiene, reducing the risk of contamination to patients and healthcare professionals, thus improving the user experience.

[0006] Furthermore, the bottom diameter of the sidewall is larger than that of the upper middle part.

[0007] Furthermore, the handle gradually tilts upward from the inner end to the outer end.

[0008] Furthermore, a splash guard is provided above the periphery of the flow channel, and the splash guard is higher than the top of the cup body.

[0009] Furthermore, the width of the flow channel gradually increases from the bottom upwards.

[0010] Furthermore, the sidewall is provided with a capacity scale.

[0011] Furthermore, the handle is configured to fold along its length.

[0012] Furthermore, the length of the handle is at least not less than the diameter of the cup body.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer surface of the handle is provided with concave grip marks.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer side of the bottom wall is provided with anti-slip texture. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] To address the problems of inconvenient operation, easy spillage, poor hygiene, and unpleasant user experience associated with existing urine collection cups, this embodiment provides an improved medical urine collection cup, a disposable testing container for urine analysis, such as... Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the urine cup includes a cup body 100 and a flow channel 200 and a handle 300 respectively provided on its side wall 120. The handle 300 and the flow channel 200 are preferably integrally connected to the side wall 120, for example, they are injection molded from medical-grade polypropylene material. The conventional capacity is 10ml, and the capacity can be adjusted as needed.

[0024] Specifically, the upper part of the cup body 100 is open and nearly cylindrical, including a bottom wall 110 and a side wall 120. A drain port 130 is provided on the side wall 120 to facilitate pouring liquid. In this embodiment, the handle 300 is relatively long, with a length greater than the diameter of the cup body 100. The flow channel 200 is a shallow recessed groove with high sides and low middle. The long handle 300 allows the hand to be held away from the cup body 100, effectively reducing urine splashing onto the hand. The flow channel 200 can act as a guide, draining and collecting urine into the inner cavity of the cup body 100, facilitating urine collection.

[0025] Preferably, the bottom area of ​​the cup body 100 is relatively large, which can improve the stability of the cup body 100 and prevent urine from splashing out. The handle 300 is gradually tilted upward from the inside to the outside, which is convenient to hold and makes it easy to pour the urine into the test tube after collection.

[0026] To further enhance the protective properties of the flow channel 200, a splash guard 210 (not shown in the diagram) is provided on its upper periphery, which provides a protective wrapping effect.

[0027] The flow channel 200 is preferably designed with a narrower bottom and a wider top, with a cross-section resembling a duckbill or a V-shape. This facilitates the transport and stacking of multiple cups 100 and enhances the drainage effect of urine.

[0028] Preferably, volume scales can be evenly set on the side wall 120 to facilitate prompting users to collect an appropriate amount of sample.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] This embodiment provides another form of the grip 300, such as Figure 3As shown, the handle 300 is foldable. Its folding structure is not limited, as long as it facilitates storage and transportation. For example, it can consist of a first folding plate 310 and a second folding plate 320 along its length, hinged together. The first folding plate 310 has a groove, and the second folding plate 320 has a protrusion that engages with the groove. When the handle 300 is folded, the second folding plate 320 folds back to fit against the first folding plate 310, with the protrusion located within the groove. A locking element is located at the bottom of the first folding plate 310, and a locking slot is located at the bottom of the second folding plate 320. The locking element engages with the locking slot. When the handle 300 is in the open state, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the card slot plate and the card are engaged. This makes it easy to hold with your fingers and also facilitates transportation.

[0031] Preferably, recessed grip grooves can also be provided on the outer side of the handle 300. When the fingers grip the grip grooves, it can provide a non-slip effect and improve the stability of holding the hand.

[0032] Similarly, anti-slip textures can be provided on the outer side of the bottom wall 110 to prevent urine from flowing out and making the bottom slippery and easy to tip over.

[0033] This application mainly improves the grip structure 300 to enhance its grip comfort and hygiene, and reduces urine splashing by setting up a flow channel 200 to reduce urine splashing, thus effectively solving the problems existing in the prior art.
