Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a novel urine collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Normal urine contains very little protein. A persistent increase in urinary protein is not only a sign of kidney damage but also a risk factor for declining kidney function. The detection of proteinuria is crucial for guiding the treatment of chronic kidney disease, evaluating treatment effectiveness, and predicting prognosis. Clinically, quantitative urinary protein testing is an indispensable examination for kidney disease patients. For some patients, it is necessary to collect 24-hour urine samples in the ward, and then collect an additional 8-hour urine sample. That is, the patient needs to collect 16 hours of urine within 24 hours, followed by an 8-hour sample, which is then mixed with the 24-hour urine sample after being sent for testing.

[0003] The current practice is to place a covered bucket in the ward bathroom, where patients are required to urinate into the bucket. After 8 or 24 hours, the urine is mixed and a portion is taken out for testing. However, since medical staff cannot monitor the patient's urination, it is impossible to ensure that the patient collects the urine within the specified time. This directly affects the accuracy and reliability of subsequent urine tests, and consequently, the medical staff's judgment and treatment of the patient. Utility Model Content

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In one or more embodiments, a novel urine collection device is provided, comprising a housing 100. The housing 100 has an internally formed liquid storage chamber 101, a drainage passage 102, a first drainage passage 103, a second drainage passage 104, a first storage chamber, and a second storage chamber. A waste liquid storage tank 105 is placed in the first storage chamber, and a urine collection tank 106 is placed in the second storage chamber. One end of the first drainage passage 103 and the second drainage passage 104 are connected to one end of the drainage passage 102. The other end of the first drainage passage 103 is connected to the first storage chamber, and the other end of the second drainage passage 104 is connected to the second storage chamber. The other end of the drainage passage 102 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 101. A cover plate 107 is hinged to the top of the housing 100. A groove 108 is formed inside the cover plate 107. The inner wall of the housing 100 is equipped with a fingerprint recognition unit 109 and an infrared sensor 110. The interior of the housing 100 is equipped with a timer 111, a first electromagnet 112, a motor 113, a memory 114, and a controller 115. The output end of the motor 113 extends into the inner cavity of the drainage passage 102 and is connected to a baffle 116. The baffle 116 has a perforation 117. The timer 111, motor 113, memory 114, first electromagnet 112, infrared sensor 110, and fingerprint recognition unit 109 are all electrically connected to the controller 115. The cover 107 can be attracted by the first electromagnet 112. An encoder 124 is installed on the motor 113 and is electrically connected to the controller 115. Magnetic plates 131 are installed inside the housing 100 and on the top of the cover 107. The two magnetic plates 131 can abut against each other.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the patient urinates, their hand is inserted into the groove 108, and their finger comes into contact with the fingerprint recognition unit 109, thus blocking the infrared sensor 110. By blocking the infrared sensor 110, the battery 129 stops energizing the primary electromagnet 112, causing the primary electromagnet 112 to lose its magnetism and thus be unable to magnetically fix the cover 107. This allows the patient to lift the cover 107, causing the two magnetic plates 131 to come into contact with each other, and magnetically fixing the position of the cover 107. The fingerprint recognized by the fingerprint recognition unit 109 and the fingerprint stored in the memory 114... The stored fingerprint information is compared with that of the fingerprint recognition unit 109. In conjunction with timer 111, if the fingerprint information does not match the fingerprint recognition unit 109 or the timer 111 has not been reached, baffle 116 will block the second dispensing passage 104, allowing urine to flow sequentially through the storage chamber 101, drainage passage 102, perforation 117, and first dispensing passage 103 into the waste liquid storage tank 105. When the fingerprint information matches the fingerprint recognition unit 109 and the timer 111 has been reached, motor 113 starts, causing baffle 116 to rotate, thus blocking the baffle. 116 will block the first dispensing passage 103, and the perforation 117 will connect to the second dispensing passage 104, allowing urine to sequentially pass through the storage chamber 101, the drainage passage 102, the perforation 117, and the second dispensing passage 104 into the urine collection tank 106, ensuring the accuracy and authenticity of the patient's urine collection; the encoder 124 can monitor the number of rotations and angle of the motor 113 output. Since the inlets of the first dispensing passage 103 and the second dispensing passage 104 are horizontal, the perforation 117 can be monitored by monitoring the rotation angle and number of rotations of the motor 113 output. When the positions of the inlets of the first and second liquid dispensing channels 103 and 104 change or the number of perforations 117 changes, the number of rotations and angle of the output of the motor 113 can still be monitored to ensure that the perforations 117 are connected to the inlet of the first or second liquid dispensing channel 103 or 104, thus blocking the second or first liquid dispensing channel 103. Medical staff need to check the liquid in the waste liquid storage box 105 regularly, and after the set time, they should take the urine from the urine collection box 106 and send it to the corresponding location to perform urine testing.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments, a water tank 118 and a liquid pump 119 are provided inside the housing 100. The input end of the liquid pump 119 is connected to an inlet pipe 120, and the other end of the inlet pipe 120 extends into the interior of the water tank 118. The output end of the liquid pump 119 is connected to an outlet pipe 121, and the other end of the outlet pipe 121 extends into the interior of the cover plate 107 and is connected to a cavity plate 122. A nozzle 123 is provided at the bottom of the cavity plate 122. There are multiple nozzles 123. The liquid pump 119 and the controller 115 are electrically connected.

[0034] In this embodiment, after the patient finishes urinating, the cover plate 107 is flipped over until it contacts the top of the housing 100. Then, the liquid pump 119 is started, and the liquid in the water tank 118 is input into the cavity plate 122 through the inlet pipe 120 and the outlet pipe 121. The liquid is then sprayed out through the nozzle 123 to flush the liquid storage chamber 101 and the drainage passage 102. After flushing, the waste liquid flows into the waste liquid storage tank 105 to reduce the adhesion of urine to the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 101 and the drainage passage 102, so as to avoid the urine mixing affecting the accuracy of monitoring.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, a second electromagnet 125 is provided inside the housing 100. There are multiple second electromagnets 125, which are respectively placed on both sides of the first and second storage cavities. The waste liquid storage tank 105 and the urine collection tank 106 can be attracted by the second electromagnets 125. The second electromagnets 125 are electrically connected to the controller 115. The front of the waste liquid storage tank 105 and the urine collection tank 106 is provided with an identification card insert plate 132.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second electromagnet 125 has a large magnetism after being energized. Under the action of the magnetism, the waste liquid storage tank 105 and the urine collection tank 106 can be fixed. Corresponding identification cards can be inserted into the identification card insert plate 132 so that medical staff can know the condition of the liquid stored in the waste liquid storage tank 105 and the urine collection tank 106.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, a sound player 126 is provided on the front of the housing 100, and the sound player 126 is electrically connected to the controller 115. A light sensor 127 and a fill light 128 are provided on the front of the housing 100, and both the light sensor 127 and the fill light 128 are electrically connected to the controller 115. A battery 129 is provided inside the housing 100. The battery 129 is used to power the motor 113, the memory 114, the first electromagnet 112, the infrared sensor 110, the fingerprint recognition unit 109, the controller 115, the second electromagnet 125, the liquid pump 119, the sound player 126, the light sensor 127, the fill light 128, the timer 111, and the encoder 124. A charging port 130 is provided on one side of the housing 100. It also includes a terminal, which includes a wireless communication device and a display. The wireless communication device and the display are electrically connected, and the wireless communication device and the controller 115 are communicatively connected.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the timer 111 reaches the set time, the sound player 126 can prompt the patient to urinate to prevent the patient from missing the designated time; when the ambient light is dim, the light sensor 127 will activate the supplementary light 128 to prevent the patient from being unable to find the device in the dark and to effectively avoid adverse effects caused by the patient bumping into it; the controller 115 can record the working status of the motor 113, memory 114, electromagnet 112, infrared sensor 110, fingerprint recognition unit 109, electromagnet 125, liquid pump 119, sound player 126, light sensor 127, supplementary light 128, timer 111, and encoder 124, and store the data. Relevant data is sent to a wireless communication device and displayed on a monitor to achieve remote monitoring by medical staff. The terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet, computer, etc., and the communication connection can be 4G, 5G, WIFI, Bluetooth, LAN, etc. The battery 129 can power the motor 113, memory 114, electromagnet 112, infrared sensor 110, fingerprint recognition unit 109, controller 115, electromagnet 125, liquid pump 119, sound player 126, light sensor 127, supplementary light 128, timer 111 and encoder 124, while the charging port 130 can charge the battery 129. A power cord can be added as needed to charge the battery 129.

[0039] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the battery 129, controller 115, motor 113, memory 114, electromagnet 112, infrared sensor 110, fingerprint recognition unit 109, electromagnet 125, liquid pump 119, sound player 126, light sensor 127, supplementary light 128, timer 111, encoder 124, wireless communication device, and display in this disclosure need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here. Its power supply and its principle are clear to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here. The connection and installation of its various parts and the signal transmission principle are technologies known in this field.

[0040] Specifically, the working principle of the novel urine collection device provided in this application is as follows:

[0041] When the patient urinates, their hand is inserted into the groove 108, and their finger comes into contact with the fingerprint recognition unit 109, blocking the infrared sensor 110. By blocking the infrared sensor 110, the battery 129 stops energizing the primary electromagnet 112, causing the primary electromagnet 112 to lose its magnetism and thus be unable to magnetically fix the cover 107. This allows the patient to lift the cover 107, causing the two magnetic plates 131 to come into contact with each other, and magnetically fixing the position of the cover 107. The fingerprint recognized by the fingerprint recognition unit 109 is compared with the fingerprint information stored in the memory 114. In conjunction with the timer 111, if the fingerprint information does not match the fingerprint recognition unit 109 or the timer 111 has not been set, a warning will be issued. When the timer is set, the baffle 116 will block the second dispensing channel 104, allowing urine to flow sequentially through the storage chamber 101, the drainage channel 102, the perforation 117, and the first dispensing channel 103 into the waste liquid storage tank 105. When the fingerprint information matches the fingerprint recognition unit 109 and the timer 111 is set, the motor 113 will start to rotate the baffle 116, causing the baffle 116 to block the first dispensing channel 103. The perforation 117 will then connect with the second dispensing channel 104, allowing urine to flow sequentially through the storage chamber 101, the drainage channel 102, the perforation 117, and the second dispensing channel 104 into the urine collection tank 106, thus ensuring the accuracy and authenticity of the patient's urine collection.

[0042] After urinating, the patient flips the cover 107 until it contacts the top of the housing 100. Then, the liquid pump 119 is started, and the liquid in the water tank 118 is input into the cavity plate 122 through the inlet pipe 120 and the outlet pipe 121. The liquid is then sprayed out through the nozzle 123 to flush the liquid storage chamber 101 and the drainage passage 102. After flushing, the waste liquid flows into the waste liquid storage tank 105 to reduce the urine adhesion on the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 101 and the drainage passage 102.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
