Technical Field

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

[0002] Urine from large animals such as giraffes and elephants is a crucial sample for monitoring their health indicators. Collecting urine from large animals is typically difficult, requiring strict adherence to time and safety protocols. Current techniques often involve restraining the animals and waiting for them to urinate, which is stressful for the animals, time-consuming, and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a urine collection device to address the problems of long waiting times and low efficiency in the existing methods for collecting urine from large animals.

[0009] The aforementioned urine collection device includes a stimulation element on the first rod. When collecting urine from large animals, the first rod can be inserted into the animal enclosure, and the stimulation element can rub against the animal's vulva to increase the animal's urge to urinate, thus speeding up urination and reducing waiting time. Simultaneously, a collection mechanism is located on a second rod, which is detachably attached to the first rod. When a large animal urinates, the second rod can be removed from the first rod, allowing the urine to be collected via the collection mechanism. This makes the urine collection device more convenient to carry and use.

[0010] In one embodiment, the urine collection device further includes a mating member disposed on the first rod. The second rod includes a rod portion and a snap-fit ​​structure disposed on the rod portion. The first rod has a snap-fit ​​hole, and the snap-fit ​​structure passes through the snap-fit ​​hole.

The snap-fit ​​portion is located on the side of the first rod facing away from the second rod and is used to snap-fit ​​with the mating part.

[0012] In one embodiment, the mating member has a communicating slot and a release slot. The radial dimension of the release slot is greater than the radial dimension of the slot and greater than or equal to the radial dimension of the latching part. The radial dimension of the slot is less than the radial dimension of the latching part. When the mating member is in the first position, the connecting part is located in the slot, and the latching part is located on the side of the mating member facing away from the first rod. When the mating member is in the second position, the connecting part is located in the release slot, and the latching part can disengage from the mating member through the release slot.

[0013] In one embodiment, the urine collection device further includes a damping pad located at the end of the mating member away from the stimulating element.

[0014] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the first rod is a convex arc surface, and the surface of the mating member facing the first rod is a concave arc surface adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the first rod, and the mating member is slidably engaged with the first rod.

[0015] In one embodiment, the end of the second rod away from the collection mechanism is rotatably connected to the end of the first rod away from the stimulation element.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second rod includes a rod portion and a rotating portion, the collection mechanism is disposed on the rod portion, the rotating portion is disposed at the end of the rod portion away from the collection mechanism, the first rod is provided with a rotating hole, and the urine collection device further includes a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is inserted into the rotating portion and the rotating hole, and is rotatably connected to the first rod.

[0017] In one embodiment, the collection mechanism includes a funnel and a urine storage bag. The funnel is disposed on the second rod and has a liquid outlet. The urine storage bag is detachably fitted onto the liquid outlet of the funnel.

[0018] In one embodiment, the collection mechanism includes three urine storage bags connected in sequence, with the end of the urine storage bag fitted over the outlet of the funnel. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The following are schematic diagrams illustrating the structure of the urine collection device 10 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2An exploded schematic diagram of the urine collection device 10 in some embodiments of this application is shown. The urine collection device 10 provided in this application can be used to collect urine from large animals. The large animals involved in this application include, but are not limited to, giraffes, elephants, etc. Large animals can refer to terrestrial vertebrates with an adult weight greater than or equal to 45 kg, such as an adult elephant with a weight of 3 to 7 tons.

[0033] In some embodiments, the urine collection device 10 includes a first rod 11, a stimulation element 12, a second rod 13, and a collection mechanism 14. The stimulation element 12 is disposed on the first rod 11, for example, fixedly disposed at the end of the first rod 11, and is used to stimulate urination in animals. The stimulation element 12 includes, but is not limited to, a steel wool ball, and can increase the urge to urinate in large animals by rubbing and stimulating the vulva. The second rod 13 is detachably disposed on the first rod 11, and the collection mechanism 14 is disposed on the second rod 13 and is used to collect the animal's urine.

[0034] Understandably, when using the urine collection device 10 to collect urine from large animals, the user can hold the end of the first rod 11 furthest from the stimulation element 12 and insert the first rod 11 into the animal enclosure, rubbing and stimulating the large animal's vulva through the stimulation element 12 located at the end of the first rod 11. When the large animal begins to urinate, the second rod 13 is detached from the first rod 11, thereby collecting the large animal's urine through the collection mechanism 14 on the second rod 13.

[0035] The urine collection device 10 described above has a stimulation element 12 installed on the first rod 11. When collecting urine from large animals, the first rod 11 can be inserted into the animal enclosure, and the stimulation element 12 can rub and stimulate the vulva of the large animal, increasing the animal's urge to urinate and making urination faster, thus reducing waiting time. Simultaneously, a collection mechanism 14 is installed on the second rod 13, which is detachably mounted on the first rod 11. When the large animal urinates, the second rod 13 can be detached from the first rod 11, allowing the urine to be collected via the collection mechanism 14. This makes the urine collection device 10 more convenient to carry and use, and helps reduce waste of urine samples.

[0036] Furthermore, users can collect urine from large animals by holding the first rod 11 and extending the urine collection device 10 into the enclosure of the large animals. This eliminates the need to bring the large animals into the restraint pen or have close contact with them, reducing stress on the animals and ensuring user safety.

[0037] The lengths of the first rod 11 and the second rod 13 are not limited and can be specifically set according to the size of the large animal, safety requirements, and the space of the enclosure, as long as they can be inserted into the large animal's enclosure to stimulate the vulva and complete the urine collection. The second rod 13 can be shorter than the first rod 11, and when the second rod 13 is installed on the first rod 11, the end of the second rod 13 with the stimulation element 12 is recessed relative to the first rod 11 to avoid affecting the stimulation of the large animal by the stimulation element 12.

[0038] Of course, the urine collection device 10 provided in this application is not limited to large animals such as giraffes and elephants described in this application. It can also be used to collect urine from any other applicable organisms, as long as the stimulating element 12 can enhance the organism's urge to urinate and the collection mechanism 14 can collect the organism's urine.

[0039] In some embodiments, the urine collection device 10 further includes a mating member 15, which is movably disposed on the first rod 11. The second rod 13 includes a rod portion 131 and a snap-fit ​​structure 132 disposed on the rod portion 131. The first rod 11 has a snap-fit ​​hole 111, and the snap-fit ​​structure 132 passes through the snap-fit ​​hole 111. One end of the snap-fit ​​structure 132 away from the second rod 13 extends out from the side of the first rod 11 facing away from the second rod 13 for snap-fit ​​engagement with the mating member 15.

[0040] The mating member 15 is configured to move relative to the first member 11 to switch between a first position and a second position. When the mating member 15 is in the first position, the mating member 15 engages and is fixed with the snap-fit ​​structure 132 so that the first member 11 and the second member 13 are fixed together. When the mating member 15 is in the second position, the mating member 15 releases the snap-fit ​​structure 132 so that the second member 13 can disengage from the first member 11.

[0041] This configuration, when the second rod 13 is mounted on the first rod 11, improves the structural compactness and reliability of the urine collection device 10, facilitates its portability, and avoids interference between components. Furthermore, the movement of the mating member 15 relative to the first rod 11 allows for easy detachment of the second rod 13, enhancing the convenience of urine collection operations. The mating member 15's placement on the first rod 11 also reduces the space occupied by the urine collection device 10, making it easier to carry and use.

[0042] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​structure 132 includes a connecting portion 1321 connected to the rod portion 131 and a snap-fit ​​portion 1322 connected to the end of the connecting portion 1321 away from the rod portion 131. The snap-fit ​​portion 1322 can be any applicable shape, such as approximately spherical or cylindrical, and the connecting portion 1321 can be approximately cylindrical. The radial dimension of the snap-fit ​​portion 1322 is larger than the radial dimension of the connecting portion 1321. The connecting portion 1321 passes through a snap-fit ​​hole 111, and the snap-fit ​​portion 1322 is located on the side of the first rod 11 facing away from the second rod 13 and is used for snap-fit ​​engagement with the mating part 15.

[0043] In some embodiments, the relative movement direction of the mating member 15 and the first rod 11 is parallel to the axial direction of the first rod 11. For example, the mating member 15 can slide relative to the first rod 11 along the axial direction of the first rod 11. The mating member 15 is provided with a communicating slot 151 and a release slot 152, which are sequentially arranged in the axial direction of the first rod 11. The radial dimension of the release slot 152 is larger than the radial dimension of the slot 151 and larger than or equal to the radial dimension of the latching portion 1322, while the radial dimension of the slot 151 is smaller than the radial dimension of the latching portion 1322. When the mating member 15 is in the first position, the connecting portion 1321 is located in the slot 151, and the latching portion 1322 is located on the side of the mating member 15 facing away from the first rod 11. The latching portion 1322 abuts against the side of the mating member 15 facing away from the first rod 11 so that the latching structure 132 engages with the mating member 15. When the mating part 15 is in the second position, the connecting part 1321 is located in the release groove 152, and the latching part 1322 can disengage from the mating part 15 through the release groove 152.

[0044] Understandably, during the process of installing the second rod 13 onto the first rod 11, the release groove 152 is opposite to the latching hole 111, and the latching structure 132 passes through the latching hole 111 and the release groove 152 in sequence, so that the latching part 1322 extends out of the mating part 15 on the side facing away from the first rod 11. Then, by driving the mating part 15 to move relative to the first rod 11 until the latching groove 151 is opposite to the latching hole 111, the mating part 15 switches to the first position, and the connecting part 1321 is located in the latching groove 151. Since the radial dimension of the latching groove 151 is smaller than the radial dimension of the latching part 1322, the latching part 1322 cannot disengage from the mating part 15 through the latching groove 151. The latching part 1322 abuts against the side of the mating part 15 facing away from the first rod 11, thereby realizing the installation of the second rod 13 onto the first rod 11, which facilitates the carrying and use of the urine collection device 10. When it is necessary to detach the second rod 13 from the first rod 11 so as to collect urine through the collection mechanism 14 on the second rod 13, the mating part 15 is driven to move relative to the first rod 11 until the release groove 152 is aligned with the buckle hole 111, the connecting part 1321 is located in the release groove 152, and the buckle part 1322 can pass through the release groove 152 to disengage the buckle structure 132 from the mating part 15, thereby detaching the second rod 13 from the first rod 11.

[0045] Therefore, the urine collection device 10 is more convenient to carry and use. Furthermore, when collecting urine through the collection mechanism 14, the user can operate the end of the mating part 15 away from the stimulation element 12 to release the latching structure 132, enabling remote control of the collection mechanism 14. This allows the user to operate without approaching large animals, improving the safety of urine collection operations. Of course, the detachable connection of the second rod 13 to the first rod 11 can also be achieved through interference fit, interlocking, or other suitable methods, which will not be elaborated upon in this application.

[0046] In some embodiments, the urine collection device 10 further includes a damping pad 16 disposed at the end of the mating member 15 away from the stimulation element 12. The damping pad 16 may also be replaced by any other suitable element that can increase the surface friction coefficient. The damping pad 16 increases the surface friction at the end of the mating member 15 away from the stimulation element 12, making it easier for the user to drive the mating member 15 relative to the first rod 11 by pushing the end of the mating member 15 away from the stimulation element 12, thereby making the operation of the urine collection device 10 more convenient.

[0047] Please see again. Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the ends of the mating member 15, the first rod 11, and the second rod 13 furthest from the stimulation element 12 are approximately flush. The stimulation element 12, the collection mechanism 14, and the snap-fit ​​structure 132 are sequentially spaced apart along the axial direction of the first rod 11 from the stimulation element 12 towards the snap-fit ​​hole 111. Thus, the user can insert the urine collection device 10 into the animal enclosure by holding the end of the first rod 11 furthest from the stimulation element 12, and can drive the mating member 15 relative to the first rod 11 by pushing the end of the mating member 15 furthest from the stimulation element 12. Furthermore, after the second rod 13 is detached from the first rod 11, the user can hold the end of the second rod 13 furthest from the collection mechanism 14 to operate the collection mechanism 14 to collect urine. When the second rod 13 is installed on the first rod 11, the collection mechanism 14 will not interfere with the operation of the stimulation element 12. This optimizes the layout of the components in the urine collection device 10, improving the portability and reliability of the urine collection device 10.

[0048] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the first rod 11 is a convex arc surface; for example, the first rod 11 may be generally columnar. The surface of the mating member 15 facing the first rod 11 is a concave arc surface adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the first rod 11, and the mating member 15 slides with the first rod 11. This improves the reliability of the mating member 15 sliding on the first rod 11 and reduces the risk of the mating member 15 disengaging from the first rod 11.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first rod 11 has a groove extending axially along the side facing the mating member 15, and the mating member 15 has a sliding protrusion protruding towards the first rod 11, the sliding protrusion being slidably disposed within the groove. This improves the reliability of the sliding of the mating member 15 relative to the first rod 11, and by controlling the size of the groove, the two extreme positions of the sliding protrusion along the groove can be controlled, thus defining the first position and the second position of the mating member 15, making the urine collection device 10 more convenient to use.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the second rod 13 is mounted on the first rod 11, the collection mechanism 14 fits against the first rod 11 to reduce the overall space occupied by the urine collection device 10. It should be noted that, in this application, describing the removal of the second rod 13 from the first rod 11 does not mean that the second rod 13 is completely detached from the first rod 11. The second rod 13 may still be partially connected to the first rod 11, as long as the snap-fit ​​structure 132 disengages from the first rod 11, allowing the collection mechanism 14 to disengage from the first rod 11, thereby enabling urine collection through the collection mechanism 14.

[0051] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the second rod 13 away from the collection mechanism 14 is rotatably connected to the end of the first rod 11 away from the stimulation element 12. When the latching structure 132 disengages from the first rod 11, the second rod 13 can rotate relative to the first rod 11. Thus, when the second rod 13 is removed from the first rod 11, the rotation of the second rod 13 relative to the first rod 11 allows the collection mechanism 14 to disengage from the first rod 11, and adjusts the relative position between the collection mechanism 14 and the stimulation element 12. This avoids interference between the collection mechanism 14 and the stimulation element 12 when collecting urine. At the same time, during the process of collecting urine through the collection mechanism 14, the components of the urine collection device 10 remain interconnected to form a whole, which helps to reduce the number of independent components of the urine collection device 10 and improves the portability and ease of use of the urine collection device 10.

[0052] In some embodiments, the collection mechanism 14 is located at one end of the rod 131 near the stimulation element 12. The second rod 13 further includes a rotating portion 133 located at the end of the rod 131 away from the collection mechanism 14. The first rod 11 has a rotating hole 112. The urine collection device 10 also includes a rotating shaft 17, which is inserted into the rotating portion 133 and the rotating hole 112 and is rotatably connected to the first rod 11 to realize the rotation of the second rod 13 relative to the first rod 11.

[0053] In some embodiments, the second rod 13 is provided with two rotating parts 133, which are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the second rod 13 and located on opposite sides of the first rod 11. A rotating shaft 17 passes through the rotating parts 133, the first rod 11, and the rotating parts 133 sequentially, and is fixedly connected to the two rotating parts 133. This improves the structural reliability of the urine collection device 10 and the stability of the relative rotation of the first rod 11 and the second rod 13. Of course, the first rod 11 and the second rod 13 can also achieve relative rotation through any suitable rotational connection method such as a hinge, which will not be elaborated upon in this application.

[0054] In some embodiments, the collection mechanism 14 includes a funnel 141 and a urine collection bag 142. The funnel 141 is mounted on the second rod 13 and has an inlet and an outlet. The inner diameter of at least a portion of the funnel 141 gradually decreases in the direction from the inlet to the outlet. The urine collection bag 142 is detachably fitted onto the outlet of the funnel 141. When collecting urine from large animals using the collection mechanism 14, the position of the funnel 141 can be adjusted by holding the end of the second rod 13 away from the collection mechanism 14, so that the inlet of the funnel 141 is opposite to the direction of urination of the large animal, thereby collecting urine through the inlet. The urine flows from the inlet through the funnel 141 and into the urine collection bag 142 through the outlet. After collecting the urine, the urine collection bag 142 can be removed from the funnel 141 for urine testing and easy replacement, making the urine collection device 10 more convenient and safer to use.

[0055] In some embodiments, the collection mechanism 14 includes three urine collection bags 142, which are connected in sequence. The urine collection bag 142 located at the end is fitted onto the outlet of the funnel 141. It is understood that when the urine collection bag 142 located at the end is fitted onto the outlet of the funnel 141, the three urine collection bags 142 are arranged vertically in sequence and connected in sequence. The initial urine of a large animal flows into the lowermost urine collection bag 142, the middle urine flows into the middle urine collection bag 142, and the final urine flows into the uppermost urine collection bag 142. After collecting the urine, the urine collection bags 142 are removed from the funnel 141. By pinching the connection between the uppermost urine collection bag 142 and the middle urine collection bag 142, the final urine can be poured out; by pinching the connection between the middle urine collection bag 142 and the lowermost urine collection bag 142, the middle urine can be poured out; and thus, the initial urine in the lowermost urine collection bag 142 can be poured out.

[0056] Understandably, the first, middle, and last segments of urine in large animals can reflect different health conditions. Testing these three segments separately can effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of the test. For example, the first segment of urine usually contains more urethral epithelial cells and bacteria, while the middle segment is more representative of the urine composition in the bladder, and the last segment may contain components from the urethra. By collecting them separately, a more comprehensive understanding of the animal's urinary system health can be obtained. Therefore, the three urine collection bags 142 enable the separate collection of these three segments of urine from large animals, making it more convenient to monitor the health of large animals through urine testing.

[0057] In some embodiments, the capacity of each of the three urine collection bags 142 is greater than or equal to 200 ml, for example, each can be 200 ml, which can meet the urine collection needs of large animals. Of course, the capacity of the urine collection bags 142 is not limited to this, and can be set according to the amount of urine excreted by the animal, as long as it can meet the separate collection needs of the first, middle and last stages of urine.

[0058] The urine collection device 10 provided in some embodiments of this application has a second rod 13 detachably mounted on a first rod 11. A fastening structure engages with a mating part 15, and a collection mechanism 14 is attached to the first rod 11, making it convenient to carry and use. When using the urine collection device 10 to collect urine, the user can hold the end of the first rod 11 away from the stimulation element 12 and insert the urine collection device 10 into the animal enclosure, stimulating the vulva of a large animal through the stimulation element 12. When the large animal begins to urinate, the user pushes the end of the mating part 15 away from the stimulation element 12 to remotely control the fastening structure 132, switching the mating part 15 to a second position, allowing the fastening structure 132 to disengage from the mating part 15 and the first rod 11. This, in turn, drives the second rod 13 to rotate relative to the first rod 11, causing the collection mechanism 14 to separate from the first rod 11, allowing urine to be collected through the collection mechanism 14. After collection, the urine collection bag 142 is removed from the funnel 141 for urine testing. The second rod 13 is driven to rotate relative to the first rod 11 until the buckle structure 132 passes through the first rod 11 and the mating part 15. The mating part 15 is pushed to switch to the first position to install the second rod 13 on the first rod 11, which facilitates the carrying and storage of the urine collection device 10.

[0059] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0060] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
