Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of urine collection devices, and in particular to a wearable urine collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, patients with urinary incontinence are unable to urinate voluntarily when urine sampling is required, often urinating unknowingly. This makes urine sampling challenging during urine testing, especially for patients unable to control urination. To address these issues, we propose a wearable urine collection device. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wearable urine collector, which has the advantage of being able to collect urine when a patient with urinary incontinence urinates.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a wearable urine collector, including a wearable pocket, a waistband sewn to the top of the wearable pocket, and elastic bands sewn to both ends of the waistband; a wrapping layer sewn to the top of the wearable pocket, the inside of which is filled with an absorbent layer; a urine collection port fixedly connected to the front of the wearable pocket, a ureter connected to the bottom end of the urine collection port, a valve installed on the surface of the ureter, a connecting pipe connected to the surface of the ureter, and a collection bag connected to the bottom end of both the valve and the connecting pipe.

[0005] Using the above technical solution, the elastic band allows the waistband to fit patients with different waist sizes; the wrapping layer and urine-absorbing layer absorb urine splashed during urination, reducing discomfort caused by urine adhering to the skin. The valve, connecting tube, and two collection bags allow excess urine to be transferred to the other bag after one bag is full, preventing backflow and allowing for the storage of larger amounts of urine.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the valve is specifically a one-way valve, and the flow direction of the valve is from the urine collection port to the collection bag.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the valve is designed to allow urine inside the collection port to enter the collection bag through the ureter, and to prevent urine inside the collection bag from overflowing and returning to the collection port through the ureter.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the end of the connecting tube near the ureter is a rigid plastic tube, and the rear end of the connecting tube is a flexible tube.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the use of a rigid plastic tube at the front end of the connecting tube can prevent bending at the contact point between the connecting tube and the ureter; and the use of a flexible tube at the rear end of the connecting tube makes it easy to place the two collection bags in different pockets of the pants.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the end of the connecting tube near the ureter has an inclination angle of at least 45°.

[0011] The above technical solution uses a connecting tube to transport urine to the collection bag at the bottom of the ureter after the collection bag is filled with urine. The connecting tube is tilted at an angle to increase the distance between the collection bag at the bottom of the ureter and the connecting tube, and the connecting tube does not increase the difficulty of connecting the collection bag at the bottom of the ureter and the ureter.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: a Velcro closure is sewn on the front of the belt, a connecting strap is sewn on the surface of the belt, and a Velcro closure that is bonded to the Velcro closure is sewn on one side of the connecting strap.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, through the setting of the Velcro and Velcro, the Velcro is moved by pulling the connecting belt, which brings the Velcro closer around the waist belt and glues the Velcro and Velcro together, thereby increasing the stability of the waist belt worn on the user's waist.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the side of the Velcro fastener away from the waistband is a rough surface, and the side of the Velcro liner away from the connecting strap is an adhesive surface.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, the connecting tape and the hook and loop fastener can be bonded together by contacting the adhesive side of the hook and loop fastener and the rough side of the hook and loop fastener.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the wrapping layer is specifically a hydrophilic nonwoven fabric.

[0017] Using the above technical solution, hydrophilic nonwoven fabric is mainly used in the production of medical and sanitary materials to achieve a better feel and prevent skin scratching; sanitary napkins, sanitary pads, and the outer wrapping layer of diapers utilize the hydrophilic function of hydrophilic nonwoven fabric.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the urine-absorbing layer is specifically a superabsorbent polymer.

[0019] Using the above technical solution, superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is a typical functional polymer material; it can absorb hundreds or even thousands of times its own weight in water and has a strong water retention capacity, so it is also known as a super absorbent or high water retention agent; in the hygiene field, it is mainly used as a raw material for sanitary napkins and diapers.

[0020] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The elastic band allows the belt to fit patients with different waist sizes; the wrapping layer and absorbent layer absorb urine splashed during urination, reducing discomfort caused by urine adhering to the skin. The valve, connecting tube, and two collection bags allow excess urine to be transferred to the other bag after one bag is full, preventing backflow and allowing for larger urine storage.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0027] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A wearable urine collection device includes a wearing pocket 1, a waistband 2 sewn to the top of the wearing pocket 1, and elastic bands 3 sewn to both ends of the waistband 2; a wrapping layer 4 sewn to the top of the wearing pocket 1, the inside of the wrapping layer 4 being filled with an absorbent layer 5; a urine collection port 6 fixedly connected to the front of the wearing pocket 1, the bottom end of the urine collection port 6 being connected to a ureter 7, a valve 8 installed on the surface of the ureter 7, a connecting pipe 9 connected to the surface of the ureter 7, and a collection bag 10 connected to the bottom ends of both the valve 8 and the connecting pipe 9; the elastic bands 3 allow the waistband 2 to be adapted to patients with different waist sizes; the wrapping layer 4 and the absorbent layer 5 can absorb urine splashed during urination after the patient wears the urine collection device, reducing the discomfort caused by urine adhering to the skin. By setting up valve 8, connecting pipe 9 and two collection bags 10, after a single collection bag 10 is full of urine, the excess urine can be transferred to another collection bag 10 for storage, which can avoid the problem of urine backflow and also allow for the storage of more urine.

[0028] Furthermore, valve 8 is specifically a one-way valve. The flow direction of valve 8 is from urine collection port 6 to collection bag 10. Through the setting of valve 8, valve 8 only allows urine inside urine collection port 6 to enter collection bag 10 through ureter 7, and does not allow urine inside collection bag 10 to overflow and return to urine collection port 6 through ureter 7.

[0029] Furthermore, the end of the connecting tube 9 near the ureter 7 is made of rigid plastic tubing, while the rear end of the connecting tube 9 is made of flexible tubing. The rigid plastic tubing at the front end of the connecting tube 9 prevents bending at the contact point between the connecting tube 9 and the ureter 7. The flexible tubing at the rear end of the connecting tube 9 facilitates the placement of the two collection bags 10 in different pockets of the pants.

[0030] Furthermore, the end of the connecting tube 9 closest to the ureter 7 is tilted at an angle of at least 45°. The connecting tube 9 is used to transport urine to the collection bag 10 connected to the bottom end of the connecting tube 9 after the collection bag 10 at the bottom end of the ureter 7 is filled with urine. The tilting angle of the connecting tube 9 can increase the distance between the collection bag 10 at the bottom end of the ureter 7 and the connecting tube 9, and the connecting tube 9 will not increase the difficulty of connecting the collection bag 10 at the bottom end of the ureter 7 and the ureter 7.

[0031] Furthermore, the front of the belt 2 is sewn with Velcro 11, and a connecting strap 12 is sewn onto the surface of the belt 2. A Velcro 13, which is attached to the Velcro 11, is sewn onto one side of the connecting strap 12. By setting up the Velcro 13 and Velcro 11, the Velcro 13 can be moved by pulling the connecting strap 12, which will pull the Velcro 13 closer around the belt 2 and attach the Velcro 13 and Velcro 11 together, thereby increasing the stability of the belt 2 when worn on the user's waist.

[0032] Furthermore, the side of the Velcro 11 away from the belt 2 is a rough surface, and the side of the Velcro 13 away from the connecting strap 12 is an adhesive surface. By contacting the adhesive surface of the Velcro 13 with the rough surface of the Velcro 11, the connecting strap 12 and the Velcro 13 can be bonded together.

[0033] Furthermore, the wrapping layer 4 is specifically a hydrophilic nonwoven fabric. Hydrophilic nonwoven fabric is mainly used in the production of medical and sanitary materials to achieve a better feel and prevent skin scratches; for example, the outer wrapping layer of sanitary napkins, sanitary pads, and diapers utilizes the hydrophilic function of hydrophilic nonwoven fabric.

[0034] Furthermore, the absorbent layer 5 is specifically made of superabsorbent polymer (SAP), a typical functional polymer material. It can absorb hundreds or even thousands of times its own weight in water and has a strong water retention capacity, so it is also known as a super absorbent or high water retention agent. In the hygiene field, it is mainly used as a raw material for sanitary napkins and diapers.

[0035] Brief description of usage:

[0036] When in use, the patient will wear the pocket 1 under their lower body; the elastic band 3 has an adaptive elasticity function, which can adapt to the patient's waist.

[0037] Pull the connecting strap 12 around the waist belt 2 to cause the Velcro 13 and Velcro 11 to stick and fix.

[0038] When the patient urinates, the urine comes into contact with the urine collection port 6, enters the urine collection port 6 and flows through the ureter 7 into the collection bag 10 connected to the bottom of the ureter 7; the splashing urine caused by the contact between the urine and the urine collection port 6 will splash onto the wrapping layer 4, the wrapping layer 4 absorbs the urine, and the urine-absorbing layer 5 absorbs the urine absorbed by the wrapping layer 4, reducing the discomfort caused by urine residue on the patient's skin.

[0039] When the bottom of the ureter 7 is full of urine, the urine flows back downwards. Because valve 8 is a one-way valve, the urine cannot continue to flow back to the ureter 7 through valve 8. The urine will enter the connecting tube 9 and then be discharged into another collection bag 10, where it will be collected.

[0040] When urine needs to be tested or collection bag 10 needs to be replaced, disconnect the threads of collection bag 10 and connecting tube 9, disconnect the threads of another collection bag 10 and valve 8, and replace two new collection bags 10.

[0041] The replaced collection bag 10 will be inspected or processed.

[0042] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
