[0034] Urine analysis equipment, as an important tool in medical testing and health management, is widely used in hospitals, clinics, and home health management. With the rapid development of portable medical devices, the market demand for miniaturized and portable urine analysis equipment is increasing. However, to truly meet the diverse needs of users, the design must simultaneously consider both convenience and accuracy.

[0035] Most portable urine analyzers on the market currently adopt a closed structure design, requiring users to remove the bottom cover of the device before urine collection and analysis can be completed. Although this design performs well in terms of sealing and portability, it still has drawbacks and shortcomings in practical applications, such as complex operation procedures, poor user experience, risk of contamination, and reduced efficiency.

[0036] Specifically, users must remove the bottom cover each time they use the device, which not only increases the number of steps involved but may also affect the efficiency of use in emergency situations. The repetitive opening action is not only cumbersome but may also cause discomfort and adds extra steps, prolonging the time for urine sample collection and analysis. In addition, during the process of removing the bottom cover, the device may come into contact with the external environment or the user's hands, increasing the possibility of cross-contamination, which is not conducive to the achievement of hygiene standards.

[0037] Based on the problems existing in the current technology, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a portable urine analyzer 10 that facilitates urine catheterization. It is applied in the field of medical device technology and is simple to operate, provides a good user experience, and is hygienic and safe.

[0038] In detail, the portable urine analyzer 10, which is easy to catheterize, includes a housing 100, a test strip holder 200, a mounting component 300, and a detection module 400.

[0039] The outer casing 100 has at least one flow port 110 on its top; the test strip holder 200 is disposed inside the outer casing 100 and is used to hold test strips; the mounting component 300 is disposed inside the outer casing 100, and the inner wall of the outer casing 100, the outer wall of the mounting component 300, and the test strip holder 200 together form an internal cavity 120, with the flow port 110 communicating with the internal cavity 120; the detection module 400 is disposed inside the mounting component 300 and located vertically below the mounting component 300, and is used to detect the reaction of the test strips.

[0040] In this embodiment, a flow guide 110 is provided at the top of the outer casing 100 so that the user can collect the liquid to be tested from the flow guide 110 and allow the liquid to flow into the internal cavity 120 along the flow guide 110 and finally flow from the internal cavity 120 to the test strip on the test strip holder 200, thereby completing the collection of the liquid to be tested; the detection module 400 detects and analyzes the reaction of the test strip after contacting the liquid, thereby completing the analysis of the liquid to be tested.

[0041] Compared with existing urine analyzers, the portable urine analyzer 10 provided by this invention allows for easy catheterization without removing the cover, thus avoiding cumbersome disassembly and assembly processes, reducing user operation steps, and improving ease of use. Furthermore, by reducing the repeated disassembly and assembly of parts such as the cover, the possibility of cross-infection is also reduced. Therefore, the portable urine analyzer 10 significantly shortens the time required for collecting and analyzing the urine sample, improving its versatility and ease of use, and meeting the needs of emergency or high-frequency use scenarios.

[0042] It should be noted that the detection module 400 can be a PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly), which integrates a color sensor and a processing circuit. The color sensor is used to sense the color change after the test strip comes into contact with the liquid to be tested, and the processing circuit outputs the analysis results based on the electrical signal of the color sensor.

[0043] It should also be noted that the liquid to be tested usually refers to urine, and the test strip refers to the test medium used for chemical analysis of urine.

[0044] Furthermore, the sidewall of the outer casing 100 with the flow port 110 is recessed 130, and the flow port 110 is located at the bottom of the recessed structure 130.

[0045] In this embodiment, by setting the top wall of the outer casing 100 as a recessed structure 130 and placing the flow port 110 at the bottom of the recessed structure 130, the liquid can flow into the flow port 110 when collecting the liquid to be tested, thereby facilitating the collection of the liquid to be tested.

[0046] In detail, at least a portion of the recessed structure 130 is set at an angle to the horizontal plane.

[0047] As shown in the figure, the included angle (e.g.) Figure 3 Angle A) shown is greater than or equal to 5° and less than or equal to 15°.

[0048] In this embodiment, by making a partial angle of 5° to 15° with the horizontal plane, the liquid to be tested can flow along the concave structure 130 to the guide port 110, while avoiding an excessively large angle that would increase the volume of the outer shell 100.

[0049] Furthermore, the outer wall of the mounting component 300 has a smooth arc structure.

[0050] In this embodiment, since the internal cavity 120 is formed by the inner wall of the outer shell 100, the outer wall of the mounting component 300, and the test strip holder 200, the liquid to be tested first contacts the mounting component 300 after entering the internal cavity from the guide port 110. Therefore, by setting the outer wall of the mounting component 300 with a smooth arc structure, it can be ensured that the liquid to be tested can flow more smoothly along the outer wall of the mounting component 300 and finally flow to the test strip on the test strip holder 200.

[0051] Furthermore, the test strip holder 200 has a mounting groove 210 in the middle, which is used to place the test strip.

[0052] In this embodiment, by providing an installation slot 210 in the test strip holder 200, the test strip can be placed more stably on the test strip holder 200, thereby ensuring the detection stability of the portable urine analyzer 10 that facilitates urine catheterization.

[0053] Furthermore, the test strip holder 200 is provided with drainage sections 220 at both ends, and the drainage sections 220 are inclined.

[0054] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the drainage section 220 abuts against the outer shell 100, and the inner wall is inclined to guide the liquid to be tested flowing down from the mounting part 300, so that the liquid to be tested can flow smoothly to the test strip to complete the test.

[0055] Furthermore, the test strip holder 200 is made of light-blocking material.

[0056] In this embodiment, the test strip holder 200 can be made of opaque materials such as black plastic to effectively prevent external light from interfering with the detection module 400.

[0057] Furthermore, the flow guide 110 is located at the top center of the housing 100.

[0058] In this embodiment, the flow guide 110 is located in the middle of the top sidewall of the housing 100 to avoid the collection of the liquid to be tested.

[0059] In detail, the guide port 110 is rectangular, and its size can be (20~30)×(5~10)mm.

[0060] Furthermore, there are multiple flow guide ports 110, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the housing 100.

[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, there are two flow guide ports 110. The two flow guide ports 110 are respectively located on both sides of the top of the housing 100, and the two flow guide ports 110 are arranged symmetrically to improve the flow efficiency of the liquid to be tested.

[0062] It is understood that in other embodiments of this utility model, the number of guide ports 110 may be other values, which are not specifically limited here.

[0063] In summary, this utility model provides a portable urine analyzer 10 that facilitates urine catheterization. By providing a flow port 110 at the top of the outer casing 100, the user can collect the liquid to be tested through the flow port 110, allowing the liquid to flow into the internal cavity 120 along the flow port 110 and ultimately into the test strip on the test strip holder 200, thus completing the collection of the liquid to be tested. The detection module 400 detects and analyzes the reaction of the test strip after contacting the liquid, thus completing the analysis of the liquid to be tested. Compared with existing urine analyzers, the portable urine analyzer 10 provided by this utility model can complete the collection of the liquid to be tested without removing the cover, avoiding the cumbersome disassembly and assembly process, reducing user operation steps, and thus improving ease of use. Furthermore, by reducing the repeated disassembly and assembly of parts such as the cover, the possibility of cross-infection is also reduced. Therefore, the portable urine analyzer 10 that facilitates urine catheterization significantly shortens the time required for the collection and analysis of the liquid to be tested, improves its universality and ease of use, and can meet the needs of emergency or high-frequency use scenarios.

[0064] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
