The diameter of the urine tube cap 2 is adapted to the diameter of the open end of the urine specimen tube 4, and the urine specimen tube 4 is detachably connected to the urine tube cap 2.

[0038] Specifically, this utility model provides an integrated urine collection tube, including a sealing cap 1, a urine collection tube cap 2, a wide-mouth collector 3, and a urine specimen tube 4. The sealing cap 1 includes a top cover 11 and a connecting ring 12. The connecting ring 12 is disposed inside the top cover 11, and the connecting ring 12 and the top cover 11 together form a fixing groove. The urine collection tube cap 2 is embedded in the fixing groove. The urine collection tube cap 2 and the connecting ring 12 are detachably snapped together. During use, the urine collection tube cap 2 can be freely removed relative to the connecting ring 12. At the same time, the diameter of the urine collection tube cap 2 is adapted to the diameter of the opening end of the urine specimen tube 4. The urine specimen tube 4 and the urine catheter cap 2 can be detachably connected to each other when used separately, facilitating the formation of a conventional urine catheter structure by placing the urine catheter cap 2 on the urine specimen tube 4 when used alone. The wide-mouth collector 3 has a through-hole structure in the middle. The diameter of the first end 31 of the wide-mouth collector 3 is larger than the diameter of the second end 32 of the wide-mouth collector 3. The first end 31 is detachably connected to the top cap 11, and the second end 32 is detachably connected to the open end of the urine specimen tube 4. When in use, the operator removes the sealing cap 1, at which point, compared to the urine specimen tube 4... Regarding the open end, the diameter of the first end 31 is larger, making it easier to align with the patient's urethral opening during use. After the urine sample is collected, the wide-mouth collector 3 can be removed as needed for testing, and the urine catheter cap 2 can be removed and placed separately on the urine sample tube 4 to ensure that the sample is not contaminated and to guarantee the validity of the sample and the accuracy of the results. The wide-mouth collector 3 increases the patient's urination capacity and the area that can receive the patient's urine sample, simplifying the urine collection process, improving the convenience of urine collection, and providing a better medical experience for patients, especially children. Therefore, through... The design incorporates a detachable, integrated sealing cap 1, urine catheter cap 2, wide-mouth collector 3, and urine specimen tube 4 to meet the needs of different scenarios, facilitating specimen testing for laboratory personnel and improving patient comfort. Furthermore, after collecting the urine specimen, the wide-mouth collector 3 can be removed, and the urine specimen tube 4 can be detached from the sealing cap 1. This not only meets the needs of different scenarios but also ensures that the inside of the bottle remains clean and sterile, guaranteeing the accuracy of the results. It also ensures the sterility of the inner wall of the urine catheter, guaranteeing the validity of the specimen and the accuracy of the test results.

[0039] This device is used in clinical settings when urine samples need to be collected for testing. Initially, the urinary catheter cap 2 is detachably fixed inside the sealing cap 1. The sealing cap 1, the wide-mouth collector 3, and the urine sample tube 4 are detachably connected sequentially. For routine urine collection, the operator can remove the sealing cap 1, directly align the wide-mouth collector 3 with the patient's urethra to begin urination, and collect the urine sample into the urine sample tube 4. After collection, the sealing cap 1 is replaced, and the integrated urine collection tube is then sent to the laboratory for testing. For aseptic urine collection, the patient's urethra should be disinfected before collection begins. Additionally, depending on specific clinical needs, the operator can also detach the urinary catheter cap 2 and the urine sample tube 4 for individual combination, thus transforming it into... Figure 3 The standard use of a urinary catheter is shown.

[0040] In some possible implementations, the inner side of the top cover 11 is provided with a first internal thread, the outer side of the first end 31 is provided with a first external thread, and the first internal thread and the first external thread are detachably connected; the inner side of the second end 32 is provided with a second internal thread, the outer side of the open end of the urine specimen tube 4 is provided with a second external thread, and the second internal thread and the second external thread are detachably connected.

[0041] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the top cover 11 is detachably connected to the first end 31 by a thread, and the second end 32 is detachably connected to the open end of the urine specimen tube 4 by a thread.

[0042] In some possible implementations, the inner surface of the urinary catheter cap 2 is provided with a third internal thread, which is adapted to the second external thread.

[0043] Specifically, the inner surface of the urine catheter cap 2 is provided with a third internal thread that matches the second external thread of the opening end of the urine specimen tube 4, so that the urine catheter cap 2 and the opening end of the urine specimen tube 4 are detachably connected by the thread.

[0044] In some possible implementations, a protrusion 21 is provided on the top of the outer wall of the urinary catheter cover 2, and a slide 121 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting ring 12; the size of the protrusion 21 is adapted to the size of the slide 121, and the protrusion 21 is slidably connected within the slide 121.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, a protrusion 21 is provided on the top of the outer wall of the urinary catheter cover 2, and a slide 121 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting ring 12. When in use, the protrusion 21 can be aligned with the slide 121, and the urinary catheter cover 2 can be detachably and slidably engaged with the inner wall of the connecting ring 12, so that the urinary catheter cover 2 can be detachably engaged into the fixing groove.

[0046] In some possible implementations, the slide 121 has an inverted U-shaped structure.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the slide 121 has an inverted U-shaped structure, wherein the length of one side of the inverted U-shaped structure is greater than that of the other side.

When in use, after the protrusion 21 is aligned and slid into the slide 121, the urinary catheter cap 2 is gently rotated along the connecting side of the inverted U-shaped structure. The protrusion 21 can fall into the other side of the inverted U-shaped structure. At this time, the other side of the inverted U-shaped structure can play a limiting role, so that the urinary catheter cap 2 and the connecting ring 12 are relatively fixed. When it is necessary to remove it, it can be twisted in the opposite direction according to the path of the slide 12.

[0048] In some possible implementations, the height of the catheter cap 2 is greater than the height of the connecting ring 12.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the height of the catheter cap 2 is greater than the height of the connecting ring 12. The catheter cap 2 protrudes slightly, making it easy for the operator to grasp the protruding part and rotate it to remove it, thus improving ease of use.

[0050] In some possible implementations, the outer wall of the top cover 11 is surrounded by a first anti-slip ruler 111; the bottom of the outer wall of the urinary catheter cover 2 is surrounded by a second anti-slip ruler 22; and the sealing cover 1 and the connecting ring 12 are arranged concentrically.

[0051] Specifically, the operation is made easier for the operator by setting the first anti-slip ruler 111 and the second anti-slip ruler 22.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely specific implementations of this utility model, used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and not to limit it.
