Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a 24-hour segmented urine output measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] Patients undergoing urinary system surgery, such as kidney transplantation or prostatectomy, require 24-hour urine output monitoring to assess renal function and fluid balance. This is typically done using a urine collection bag. Indwelling catheterization is a common and frequently used nursing procedure in clinical practice to accurately record urine volume and address urinary difficulties. The urine collection bag is an essential component of indwelling catheterization and needs to be changed regularly, collecting urine at different time intervals, generally every 5 hours. Therefore, a 24-hour segmented urine output measurement device is needed.

[0003] Existing 24-hour segmented urine output measurement devices typically use a urine bag to count urine output when the patient is wearing a catheter. However, they cannot record hourly urine output, but can only record urine output over a long period of time, which is too long and cannot be accurately used as an indicator for subsequent rehabilitation assessment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a 24-hour segmented urine volume measurement device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing 24-hour segmented urine volume measurement devices generally use a urine bag to count the amount of urine output when the patient is wearing a catheter, but cannot record the hourly urine output, can only record the urine output over a period of time, which is too long and cannot be accurately used as an indicator for subsequent rehabilitation assessment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a 24-hour segmented urine output measuring device, comprising a fixed frame, an electric three-way valve fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the fixed frame, a cycle timer fixedly mounted on one side surface of the fixed frame, an infusion tube connected to one side interface of the electric three-way valve, connecting mechanisms provided at both sides interfaces of the electric three-way valve, a clamping plate fixedly mounted on the inner side of the fixed frame, a measuring cylinder placed at both sides openings of the clamping plate, a threaded joint provided on the upper surface of the measuring cylinder, a connecting pipe fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the measuring cylinder, a control valve provided at one end of the connecting pipe, a flexible tube threadedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe, and a storage mechanism provided on one side of the fixed frame.

[0006] Preferably, the cycle timer counts once per hour, and the electric three-way valve controls the closure of both interfaces according to the cycle timer's timing. The infusion tube is used to connect to the urine collection device.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting pipe, an I-shaped pipe, a connecting ring, a sealing ring, and a threaded pipe. Both ends of the electric three-way valve are provided with connecting pipes. I-shaped pipes are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting pipes. A connecting ring is sleeved on the outer ring of the I-shaped pipe. A sealing ring is bonded to the inner ring of the connecting ring. A threaded pipe is welded to one end of the connecting ring.

[0008] Preferably, the threaded pipes at both ends of the connecting pipe are threadedly connected to the electric three-way valve interface and the threaded joint, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, there are two sets of measuring cylinders, the measuring cylinders are made of transparent plastic and have scale markings on their surface.

[0010] Preferably, the storage mechanism includes a fixing rod, a hook, a urine collection bag, a liquid inlet, and a connecting hole. The fixing rod is fixedly installed on both sides of the inner ring of the fixing frame. A hook is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing rod. A urine collection bag is provided at one end of the hook. A liquid inlet is provided on the surface of the urine collection bag.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This 24-hour segmented urine output measuring device, through the setting of an electric three-way valve and a cycle timer, controls the electric three-way valve to connect only to one measuring cylinder in the first hour through a timing instrument every hour. When the hour ends, the electric three-way valve changes the urine flow and delivers it to the measuring cylinder on the other side. The measuring cylinder can accurately measure and store the urine output in one hour. The two sets of measuring cylinders can give medical staff more time to change them. After the measurement is completed, the control valve can be manually opened to deliver the urine in the measuring cylinder to the urine collection bag for collection. Then a new urine collection bag can be replaced and connected to the flexible tube on the other side. In this way, the urine output in twenty hours can be accurately measured in segments for each hour. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Working principle: First, the infusion tube 4 is connected to the urine collection device. The urine is delivered through one opening of the electric three-way valve 2 and then through the connecting tube 501 to the measuring cylinder 7. At the same time, the control valve 10 at the connecting tube 9 below the measuring cylinder 7 is closed. Then, when the cycle timer 3 reaches the one-hour timing point, the electric three-way valve 2 is controlled to change the flow direction, so that the urine can flow into the measuring cylinder 7 on the other side. Next, the control valve 10 below the measuring cylinder 7 that collected urine in the previous hour is opened, so that the urine can be delivered through the flexible tube 11 to the urine collection bag 1203. Then, a new urine collection bag 1203 can be replaced and connected to the flexible tube 11 on the other side. After collecting the urine volume of one hour in the measuring cylinder 7 on the other side, the urine collection bag 1203 is replaced again to complete the segmented measurement of urine output.
