Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a urine and stool sample collector. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical practice and physical examinations, collecting midstream urine and stool samples for testing is a routine procedure. The results have extremely important clinical diagnostic value, and clean-catch midstream urine is fundamental to ensuring accurate and reliable results. Midstream urine refers to the urine collected after the initial urination has flushed the urethra, with a sample taken from the middle of the stream for culture. Generally, the initial urine volume should be at least 20 ml, followed by a collection of midstream urine. The main reason for requiring midstream urine in routine urinalysis and even urine culture is to prevent contamination. Both men and women naturally have a significant number of bacteria around the urethra. Collecting the initial urine stream directly can easily lead to contamination, while collecting midstream urine allows the initial urine to flush away most bacteria, thus reducing the chance of contamination.
[0003] Currently, the common method for collecting midstream urine involves urinating into a plastic collection cup and then pouring it into a test tube for testing. However, this sampling method requires patients to control their urination rate to collect the midstream urine in the collection cup. Some elderly people or patients with urinary tract diseases cannot control their urination rate, making collection difficult. Furthermore, using a collection cup is not only inconvenient but also easily contaminates hands, making it unhygienic and unsightly. Hospital wards often have sit-down toilets, where patients typically defecate directly into the toilet bowl. This means the stool sample may be soaked in sewage, disinfectant, and urine, increasing the difficulty of sample collection and affecting test results. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a urine and feces sample collector to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.
[0005] The solution to the technical problem of this utility model is:
[0006] A urine and feces sample collector, comprising: a portion disposed at the front of the urine and feces sample collector;
[0007] A mid-section collection container, wherein the mid-section collection container is fixedly installed;
[0008] A midstream urine export structure is connected to a midstream collection container and is used to export urine from the midstream collection container.
[0009] A front collection container is disposed inside the middle collection container. The front collection container is equipped with a partition float. When the partition float rises to the upper opening of the front collection container, the partition float blocks the front collection container.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the upper opening of the front collection container is provided with a float blocking structure.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the volume of the front collection container is at least 20 ml.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a feces collection container is also included, which is disposed at the rear of the feces and urine sample collector.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the feces collection container is provided with multiple drainage holes.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a partition plate is provided between the feces collection container and the middle collection container.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the urine and feces sample collector is equipped with a handle.
[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the urine and feces sample collector is provided with a urine catheterization structure at the front. The urine catheterization structure is located on the front side of the front collection container. The urine catheterization structure gradually slopes downwards near the front collection container, and the lower end of the urine catheterization structure is located above the opening of the front collection container.
[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the mid-section urine export structure includes an export tube and a flow control structure. The export tube is connected to the lower end of the mid-section urine export structure, and the flow control structure is disposed on the export tube.
[0018] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the mid-section urine export structure also includes a press-to-draw liquid structure, which is connected to the export tube and is an elastic component.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: After urine enters the front collection container, the partition float will rise due to buoyancy. When the front collection container is about to be full, the partition float moves to the opening of the front collection container and is blocked by the float blocking structure. The partition float and the float blocking structure work together to seal the opening of the front collection container, preventing urine from flowing out of the front collection container into the middle collection container, and allowing subsequent urine to flow into the middle collection container, thus completing the collection of middle urine. The middle urine collection process of this solution is simple, easy to operate, and does not easily contaminate hands.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages mentioned herein do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this invention can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The urine and feces sample collector includes a collection basin 100 and a hip support 200, which are fixedly connected to the collection basin 100. In use, the urine and feces sample collector is placed on the toilet, the hip support 200 provides support for the patient's hips, the patient sits on the hip support 200, and the collection basin 100 is under the patient's hips.
[0027] The rear end of the hip support 200 is connected to a handle 210, which makes it easier to move the urine and stool sample collector, allowing users or medical staff to lift and carry the urine and stool sample collector with one hand.
[0028] The urine and feces sample collector is equipped with a mid-section collection container 300, a mid-section urine export structure 310, a front-section collection container 400, and a feces collection container 500.
[0029] Both the mid-stage collection container 300 and the front-stage collection container 400 are located at the front of the urine and stool sample collector. The mid-stage collection container 300 is fixedly installed and has a round basin-shaped structure. A mid-stage guide funnel 301 is fixedly installed at the opening of the mid-stage collection container 300, which allows urine to enter the mid-stage collection container 300 more easily.
[0030] The midstream urine extraction structure 310 includes a flow control structure 311, an extraction tube 312, and a pressure-activated suction structure 313. The end of the extraction tube 312 is connected to the midstream collection container 300. Both the flow control structure 311 and the pressure-activated suction structure 313 are located within the extraction tube 312. The flow control structure 311 is a flow regulator. In this embodiment, the flow control structure 311 has a housing and an adjusting roller. The adjusting roller can move relative to the housing to achieve different degrees of compression on the extraction tube 312, thereby regulating the flow rate. Since the flow regulator is prior art, its specific structure will not be described in detail here. In other embodiments, other flow control structures 311 can also be used. Those skilled in the art can select the specific structure of the flow control structure 311 according to actual needs. By setting the flow control structure 311, the discharge rate of urine stored in the intermediate collection container 300 can be controlled to avoid the urine discharge rate being too fast and causing it to flow out of the urine test tube. At the same time, it can also control whether the urine in the intermediate collection container 300 is discharged, so as to avoid the urine in the intermediate collection container 300 from accidentally flowing out when the urine test tube is not placed at one end of the outlet tube 312, thereby avoiding urine pollution of the surrounding environment.
[0031] The midstream urine export structure 310 is used to export urine from the midstream collection container 300.
[0032] The press-to-draw structure 313 is an elastic component. Specifically, in this embodiment, the press-to-draw structure 313 is set as a balloon structure. Since the outlet tube 312 needs to pass through the edge of the toilet, the outlet tube 312 will be S-shaped. The part of the outlet tube 312 that passes through the edge of the toilet will be higher than the end of the outlet tube 312 connected to the middle collection container 300. This prevents the urine in the middle collection container 300 from flowing normally through the outlet tube 312 to the urine test tube. By setting the press-to-draw structure 313, the urine in the middle collection container 300 can be drawn out so that the urine can pass through the outlet tube 312 at the edge of the toilet. Then, the flow control structure 311 is opened to achieve smooth urine output.
[0033] The front collection container 400 is a tubular component, disposed within the middle collection container 300, and the front collection container 400 and the middle collection container 300 are fixedly connected. In this embodiment, the capacity of the front collection container 400 is 20ml (the capacity here refers to the straight tubular portion of the front collection container 400). In other embodiments, the specific structure of the front collection container 400 can be selected according to actual needs. A float blocking structure 402 is fixedly provided at the opening of the front collection container 400, and the float blocking structure 402 is configured as a ring-shaped component.
[0034] A partition float 410 is placed inside the front collection container 400. The diameter of the partition float 410 is larger than the inner diameter of the float blocking structure 402. The density of the partition float 410 is less than that of water, so that after urine enters the front collection container 400, the partition float 410 will float due to buoyancy. When the urine in the front collection container 400 is about to be full, the partition float 410 moves to the opening of the front collection container 400 and is blocked by the float blocking structure 402. The partition float 410 and the float blocking structure 402 cooperate to seal the opening of the front collection container 400, so as to prevent the urine in the front collection container 400 from flowing out to the middle collection container 300, and to allow subsequent urine to flow into the middle collection container 300, thereby completing the collection of middle urine.
[0035] A front guide funnel 401 is fixedly installed at the opening of the front collection container 400. The front guide funnel 401 can guide the urine, making it easier for the urine to enter the front collection container 400.
[0036] A stool collection container 500 is located at the rear of the stool and urine sample collector and is fixedly installed. The stool collection container 500 is a rectangular trough-shaped structure, with multiple drainage holes 501 evenly distributed on its walls. The stool collection container 500 is used to collect stool samples. When a patient defecates, the stool falls into the stool collection container 500. By providing drainage holes 501 on the walls of the stool collection container 500, urine can be prevented from soaking the stool, thus reducing the degree of urine contamination and preventing urine from mixing with stool, thereby improving the accuracy of stool test results.
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, a partition plate 110 is fixedly provided in the middle of the collection basin 100. The partition plate 110 divides the space of the collection basin 100 into two areas. The middle collection container 300 and the front collection container 400 are located in the front area, while the feces collection container 500 is located in the rear area.
[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the urine and stool sample collector is fixedly equipped with a urine catheterization structure 600. The urine catheterization structure 600 is located at the front of the urine and stool sample collector and at the front side of the front collection container 400. The urine catheterization structure 600 gradually slopes downwards near the front collection container 400, and the lower end of the urine catheterization structure 600 is located above the opening of the front collection container 400. By setting the urine catheterization structure 600, the first urine can be prevented from falling directly from the front side of the front collection container 400 into the middle collection container 300 to a certain extent, thereby reducing the contamination of the first urine by the second urine falling into the middle collection container 300 and improving the accuracy of the test.
[0039] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
