[0043] In addition, the description of "first", "second" and the like in the utility model is only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one feature. In addition, the technical solutions of each embodiment can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of those skilled in the art, and when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, and is not within the protection scope required by the utility model.

[0044] As shown in Figures 1-7 The utility model provides a urine collector, the urine collector includes urine collection assembly, first collection tube 3 and adapter assembly 2 for connecting urine collection assembly and first collection tube 3. Wherein, as shown in Figures 1-3As shown, the urine collection assembly comprises a urine collection funnel 1 and a liquid taking port and a liquid discharging port 14 with a preset included angle at the bottom of the urine collection funnel 1; a drainage plate 13 is further arranged in the liquid taking port for separating the liquid taking port into a liquid inlet channel 11 and a liquid discharging channel 12, preferably, one end of the drainage plate 13 is aligned with the surface of the liquid taking port, and the other end is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the urine collection funnel 1, so that the urine entering the urine collection funnel 1 is drained into the first collection tube 3, thereby avoiding the direct discharge of urine in the urine collection funnel 1 from the liquid discharging port 14. In actual use, the first section of urine flowing from the urine collection funnel 1 can be pre-stored at the bottom of the first collection tube 3. The structure can be used to collect the first section of urine of the user in the first collection tube 3.

[0045] Further, the first collection tube 3 can also communicate with the liquid discharging channel 12, and the liquid discharging channel 12 further communicates with the liquid discharging port 14. This structure can effectively discharge the urine after the first collection tube 3 is full, that is, the urine sample automatically flows out from the liquid discharging channel 12 after the first collection tube 3 is full, without remaining in the liquid inlet channel 11 and the first collection tube 3.

[0046] Further, the liquid discharging port 14 further circumscribes a second collection tube, which can be used to collect the middle section of urine of the user.

[0047] Further, as shown, Figures 4-6 The adapter assembly 2 comprises a first cylinder 21, a second cylinder 22 coaxially connected with the first cylinder 21, and a drainage tube 23. A hollow connecting plate is arranged between the first cylinder 21 and the second cylinder 22. The top of the drainage tube 23 is connected with the hollow connecting plate. The inner diameter of the first cylinder 21 is larger than the inner diameter of the second cylinder 22. The inner wall of the first cylinder 21 is adjustably connected with the outer wall of the liquid taking port. The inner wall of the second cylinder 22 is adjustably connected with the outer wall of the first collection tube 3. The bottom of the drainage tube 23 extends into the inner cavity of the first collection tube 3. The top of the drainage tube 23 communicates with the liquid inlet channel 11. Thus, the first collection tube 3 and the adapter assembly 2 can be freely detached. In actual use, different adapter assemblies 2 can match different sizes of first collection tubes 3 by setting different inner diameters of the second cylinder 22, so as to adjust the sampling volume, which is convenient for different groups of people to use. For example, different diseases have different requirements for the volume of collected urine samples, which is about 5-50 mL. Therefore, the volume and caliber of the first collection tube 3 should be different. If the urine collection funnel 1 is directly connected with the first collection tube 3, different volume models of the funnel need to be made, which requires a large mold cost. However, the adapter assembly 2 can adapt to different volumes and calibers of the first collection tube 3. Only the caliber size of the adapter second cylinder 22 matched with the first collection tube 3 needs to be changed, which greatly reduces the mold and processing cost, thereby reducing the cost investment.

[0048] Further, the hollow connecting plate part region is also provided with a plurality of through holes 24, in use, the first collecting tube 3 communicates with the liquid discharge channel 12 through the plurality of through holes 24, so that the urine in the first collecting tube 3 can be effectively discharged after overflowing, and the urine in the first collecting tube 3 will not flow back to the liquid inlet channel 11. Preferably, the thickness of the hollow connecting plate is 5-10mm.

[0049] Further, the urine sampling funnel 1 is also connected with a handle 15, the handle 15 can avoid the user from directly contacting the urine collector and the splashed urine sample, and is more convenient for collecting urine.

[0050] Further, the first cylinder 21 inner wall is threadedly connected with the liquid inlet outer wall, and the second cylinder 22 inner wall is threadedly connected with the first collecting tube 3 outer wall. Specifically, the liquid inlet outer surface is provided with a first outer thread, the first cylinder 21 inner wall is provided with a first inner thread matched with the first outer thread, the first collecting tube 3 outer surface is provided with a second outer thread, and the second cylinder 22 inner wall is provided with a second inner thread matched with the second outer thread. The threaded connection can realize free disassembly of the first collecting tube 3 and the adapter assembly 2.

[0051] Further, the drainage tube 23 bottom extends into the first collecting tube 3 middle part.

[0052] 9、Further, the included angle between the liquid discharge port 14 and the liquid discharge channel 12 is 20-30 degrees.

[0053] 10、Further, the first collecting tube 3 can be composed of a storage cover, the first collecting tube 3 and a storage liquid. The first collecting tube 3 is provided with a transparent structure, and the tube outer wall is also provided with a scale line different from the tube color, so as to facilitate quantitative collection of urine according to requirements. The tube body is also pasted with a label paper for indicating sample information such as sampling time, sample number, etc.

[0054] Further, in actual application, the first collecting tube 3 can also be filled with a preservation liquid, and different preservation liquids are added according to different detection indexes. The purpose of the setting is that due to the complex composition of urine, a large number of microorganisms exist in the urine, which can easily cause the urine sample to be invalid after long-term placement, especially the free nucleic acid fragments in the urine are shorter than those in the blood, and are more prone to degradation after a period of time. Further, for the first collecting tube 3 for collecting the urine DNA sample, the preservation liquid is composed of EDTA anticoagulant and special protective agent, which can effectively inhibit the nucleases in the urine, avoid the release of the genomic DNA of the exfoliated cells in the urine, and also can be used for preserving the blood cells in the urine and inhibiting the proliferation of microorganisms. The addition of the preservation liquid can realize the normal temperature storage and transportation of the urine sample, is beneficial to prolong the preservation time of the urine sample, reduces the preservation and transportation cost, and further improves the accuracy of the urine detection.

[0055] It should be noted that in this document, the terms "comprise", "comprise", or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that processes, methods, articles or systems including a series of elements not only include those elements, but also include other elements not explicitly listed, or include elements inherent to such processes, methods, articles or systems. Without more limitations, the element defined by the statement "comprises a" does not exclude the existence of another same element in the process, method, article or system including the element. The above-mentioned embodiment serial number of the utility model is only for description, and does not represent the advantages and disadvantages of the embodiment.
