Detailed Implementation
[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments described in this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
[0034] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a urine collector 1, including: a base 10, a urine collection bag 20, and a urine discharge tube 30. The base 10 has an opening 101 and an adhesive area 102, with the adhesive area 102 surrounding the opening 101. The urine collection bag 20 has an inlet end 201 and an outlet end 202, and is detachably connected to the base 10, with the inlet end 201 communicating with the opening 101. The urine discharge tube 30 is detachably connected to the urine collection bag 20, with one end of the tube connected to the outlet end 202. The base 10 has handles 110 on opposite sides, allowing for easy removal or removal by holding the handles 110. The urine collection bag 20 has a connecting plate 208 surrounding the inlet end 201, with an annular marking ring 108 on the connecting plate 208, which can be used to enlarge the size of the inlet end 201.
[0035] For example, the base 10 is typically circular with an opening 101 in the center, and its material can be, for example, medical-grade hydrocolloid. Hydrocolloids have good biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and moisturizing properties, are less likely to cause allergies when in direct contact with human skin, and can absorb and retain a certain amount of moisture, creating a relatively humid environment. The size of the opening 101 of the base 10 can be freely adjusted according to the size of the male reproductive organ, and the adhesive area 102 is located on the side of the base 10 away from the urine bag 20 and is in direct contact with the human skin. The urine bag 20 has an enclosed storage space for storing urine, and its material can be, for example, polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The drain tube 30 is used to transport the urine stored in the urine bag 20 to the outside, and the drain tube 30 can be, for example, made of silicone.
[0036] In use, the patient's genitals are passed through the opening 101 and attached to the skin of the genitals through the adhesive area 102 on the base 10. The urine collection bag 20 is inserted into the male genitals through the opening 101 from the inlet end 201, and the inlet end 201 of the urine collection bag 20 is fixedly connected to the base 10. The entire patient's genitals are contained in the internal storage space of the urine collection bag 20. The outlet end 202 of the urine collection bag 20 is connected to one end of the urination tube 30, and the other end of the urination tube 30 discharges the urine stored in the urine collection bag 20.
[0037] The urine collection device 1 mentioned in this embodiment is mainly aimed at male groups, such as infants and young children who do not yet have the ability to control their urination and whose urination is random; patients who are unconscious due to illness or have poor urination control, resulting in urinary incontinence; and people who encounter difficulties in urinating due to mobility issues.
[0038] In daily use, the urine collection bag 20 is designed to be separate from the base plate 10. The base plate 10 is independently attached to the skin surface. Only the urine collection bag 20 needs to be replaced, without the need to frequently replace the base plate 10. This reduces the frequency of base plate 10 replacement and greatly reduces mechanical damage to the skin caused by repeated tearing.
[0039] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the chassis 10 is provided with a first fixing member 103, which surrounds the opening 101 and has an annular protrusion 104. The urine collection bag 20 is provided with a second fixing member 203, which surrounds the liquid inlet end 201 and has an annular groove 204 that matches the annular protrusion 104. The annular protrusion 104 and the annular groove 204 are engaged and fixed together.
[0040] A protrusion 111 is provided on the base 10 around the opening 101, and the protrusion is connected to the first fixing member 103. A protrusion 111 is provided on the connecting plate 208 around the liquid inlet end 201, and the protrusion 111 is connected to the second fixing member 203. The first fixing member 103 and the annular protrusion 104 are both located opposite the adhesive area 102 of the base 10. The first fixing member 103, the annular protrusion 104, the second fixing member 203, and the annular groove 204 can be made of, for example, a soft material, which further improves the patient's comfort and reduces skin irritation when wearing the urine collection device 1 for a long time. When the urine collection bag 20 is connected to the base 10, the user holds the first fixing member 103 and the second fixing member 203 with their fingers, aligns the annular groove 204 with the annular protrusion 104, and presses the first fixing member 103 and the second fixing member 203 to make the protrusion snap into the groove, providing a good sealing effect for the connection between the base 10 and the urine collection bag 20. The base 10 and urine bag 20 are partially snapped together to achieve a detachable design, which allows the patient to easily change the ostomy bag according to their needs. It is convenient to use and has good sealing performance.
[0041] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the chassis 10 is provided with a first extension 105, which surrounds the opening 101 and protrudes in a direction away from the adhesive area 102. An external thread 106 is provided on the side of the first extension 105 away from the opening 101. The urine collection bag 20 is provided with a second extension 205, which surrounds the liquid inlet end 201 and protrudes in a direction away from the urine collection bag 20. An internal thread 206 matching the external thread 106 is provided on the side of the second extension 205 near the liquid inlet end 201. The external thread 106 and the internal thread 206 are threadedly connected.
[0042] The urine collection bag 20 also includes a movable member 209, which is movably connected to the second extension 205. The first extension 105 is embedded in the movable member 209. Rotating the movable member 209 can fix the first extension 105 and the second extension 205 together, so that the base 10 and the urine collection bag 20 can be fixed together by a threaded connection. This allows the base 10 and the urine collection bag 20 to be connected and fixed simply by rotation, without the need for pressure, thus effectively avoiding pain and discomfort caused to the patient by pressure.
[0043] refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the base 10 has an adhesive area 107 on the side away from the adhesive area 102, and the urine collection bag 20 has an adhesive component 207. The adhesive component 207 is arranged around the liquid inlet end 201, and the adhesive component 207 is glued and fixed to the adhesive area 107. This glued fixing method avoids the pressure and friction caused by connection methods such as snap-fitting, and will not cause additional discomfort to the patient's skin during the connection process. In use, the connection can be completed simply by aligning the two parts and pressing slightly; the operation is simple and direct.
[0044] refer to Figure 10 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the chassis 10 includes multiple annular marker rings 108, which are nested around the opening 101. Specifically, an annular marker ring 108 of appropriate size can be selected according to the size of the patient's genitals, and cut along the annular marker ring 108 to enlarge the opening 101. A suitable opening 101 size can avoid gaps that do not fit tightly to the skin due to an excessively large opening 101, thereby reducing the possibility of urine leakage from the edges. At the same time, a suitable opening 101 size allows the chassis 10 to better fit the patient's body, reducing the feeling of a foreign object and discomfort when wearing it.
[0045] refer to Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the chassis 10 includes a plurality of annular members 109, which are sequentially stacked and adhered to the chassis 10. Along the stacking order of the annular members 109, the inner diameter of the annular member 109 located closer to the chassis 10 is larger than the inner diameter of the annular member 109 located farther from the chassis 10, and the outer diameter of the annular member 109 located farther from the chassis 10 is larger than the inner diameter of the annular member 109 located closer to the chassis 10. The inner diameter of the chassis 10 is larger than the inner diameter of any one of the annular members 109.
[0046] Multiple ring-shaped components 109 with different inner diameters are stacked and pasted onto the base 10, allowing for selection of an appropriate inner diameter based on the size of the patient's reproductive organs. These stacked ring-shaped components 109 can be removed sequentially as needed; each removal enlarges the opening 101 on the base 10 for the patient's reproductive organs. Compared to methods requiring cutting to enlarge the opening 101, this method of removing the ring-shaped components 109 eliminates the need for any additional cutting tools, simplifying the operation and ensuring a neat and smooth edge to the opening 101, thus avoiding discomfort during use.
[0047] refer to Figure 12 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the urine collector 1 also includes a three-way check valve 40. The three-way check valve 40 includes a first inlet 401, a first outlet 402, and a second outlet 403. The first inlet 401 is connected to the liquid outlet 202 of the urine collection bag 20. One of the first outlet 402 and the second outlet 403 is connected to the urination pipe 30, and the other is connected to the outside.
[0048] The three-way check valve 40 is detachably connected to the urine collection device 1. The three-way check valve 40 only allows urine to enter the valve from the outlet 202 of the urine collection bag 20 through the first inlet 401, and to flow out unidirectionally from the first outlet 402 or the second outlet 403. This prevents urine in the urination tube 30 from flowing back into the urine collection bag 20 due to gravity when the patient is lying down or in other special positions. Multiple outlets are available to suit various usage scenarios. For example, when the first outlet 402 is connected to a urine collection bag to store urine, newly generated urine in the urine collection bag 20 can be directly discharged through the second outlet 403. Furthermore, the urine collection device 1 also includes a urine collection bag 80, which is detachably connected to the three-way check valve 40. The urine collection bag 80 includes graduation lines 801 and a hanging rope 802. The graduation lines 801 on the urine collection bag 80 facilitate observation of urination over a certain period by medical personnel, and the hanging rope 802 allows for secure suspension as needed.
[0049] refer to Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the urine collector 1 also includes a switch 70, which is located at the end of the urine drain tube 30 near the urine collection bag 20. The switch 70 allows for the selection of an appropriate time to discharge the urine stored in the urine collection bag 20 as needed.
[0050] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 13As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the urine collection device 1 further includes a skin-friendly layer 50, which is disposed on the side of the urine collection bag 20 facing the base 10. During use, the skin-friendly layer 50 is in direct contact with the skin. The skin-friendly layer 50 can be, for example, made of non-woven fabric. The softness of the non-woven fabric can effectively reduce friction and pressure on the skin, and provide a gentle touch when in direct contact with the patient's skin.
[0051] refer to Figure 13 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the urine collection device 1 further includes an anti-backflow membrane 60, and the urine collection bag 20 includes a storage space for storing urine. The anti-backflow membrane 60 is disposed on the side of the urine collection bag 20 facing the storage space. Exemplarily, the anti-backflow membrane 60 may be, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). During use, the urine collection device 1 undergoes various positional changes, such as from standing to lying down. The anti-backflow membrane 60 prevents the backflow of urine within the urine collection bag 20, reducing the risk of genital organ infections caused by urine reflux and protecting the patient's health.
[0052] Furthermore, it is understood that the foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative examples of this utility model. Provided that the technical features do not conflict, the structure is not contradictory, and the purpose of this utility model is not violated, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be arbitrarily combined and used.
[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model 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 of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
