Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of urine analyzer technology, specifically to a urine catheterization structure for a urine analyzer. Background Technology
[0002] Urine analyzers are commonly used devices for testing human urine. The typical procedure involves using a urine cup to collect the urine, placing a test strip in the cup to allow it to come into contact with the urine, and then placing the strip on the analyzer for analysis. However, when using multiple urine analysis test strips (dry chemistry method), because the test strip substrate contains multiple test strips, each with different reagents for detecting different indicators, immersing the entire strip in the same urine cup can easily lead to urine contamination due to reagent shedding from the test strips, affecting the accuracy of the detection of each indicator.
[0003] In addition, some urine analyzers use a drive mechanism to move multiple urine test strips forward and then add urine to each strip one by one. Although this method can accurately detect various indicators in urine, it is complex in structure and inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a urine catheterization structure for a urine analyzer.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a urine catheterization structure for a urine analyzer, comprising a test strip placement part and a urine collection part connected to each other, wherein the internal cavities of the test strip placement part and the urine collection part are interconnected;
[0006] The upper surface of the urine collection part is provided with several urine collection holes communicating with its internal cavity. The upper surface of the test strip placement part is provided with an inwardly recessed test strip placement groove. A urine flow channel is formed between the groove wall of the test strip placement groove and the side wall of the test strip placement part. At least one liquid passage hole is provided on the groove wall of the test strip placement groove so that the test strip placement groove communicates with the urine flow channel through the liquid passage hole.
[0007] This invention allows urine collected through a urine collection hole to flow along a urine flow channel. As the urine flows forward, it enters the test strip placement slot through a liquid passage and comes into contact with the test strip inside the slot. Compared to the traditional method of directly placing the test strip into the urine cup, this method can prevent urine contamination and improve the accuracy of subsequent analysis.
[0008] The position of the liquid passage hole corresponds one-to-one with the test strip pieces on the test strip placed in the test strip placement slot. That is, each test strip piece absorbs the urine flowing through the urine channel from an independent liquid passage hole, without affecting each other, further reducing the probability of urine contamination.
[0009] The internal cavity of the urine collection section is inclined upward from one end near the test strip placement section to the other end, which helps the urine flow from the urine collection section to the test strip placement section, so only a small amount of urine needs to be collected.
[0010] The test strip placement slot is provided with an excess urine storage cavity at the end opposite to the urine collection part, which is connected to the urine flow channel. Excess urine can be stored in the excess urine storage cavity.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects: the present invention has a simple structure and can reduce the contamination of urine by different test strips and improve the detection accuracy of various indicators in urine.
[0012] Some of the additional features of this application will be described in the following description. These additional features will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following description and the accompanying drawings, or upon understanding the production or operation of the embodiments. The features disclosed in this application can be implemented and achieved through the practice or use of various methods, means, and combinations thereof with respect to the specific embodiments described below.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments.
[0021] Example
[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a urine catheterization structure for a urine analyzer, which includes a test strip placement section 100 and a urine collection section 200 connected to each other. The test strip placement section 100 and the urine collection section 200 can be integrally formed. In addition, both the test strip placement section 100 and the urine collection section 200 have cavities inside, and the internal cavities of the test strip placement section 100 and the urine collection section 200 are interconnected.
[0023] The upper surface of the urine collection unit 200 is provided with a plurality of urine collection holes 210 communicating with its internal cavity. The urine collection holes 210 can be arranged in an array, such as a rectangular array, a circular array, or other polygonal array. In use, the urine collection unit 200 is used to collect urine, which enters the internal cavity of the urine collection unit 200 through the urine collection holes 210, and then flows from the internal cavity of the urine collection unit 200 to the internal cavity of the test strip placement unit 100.
[0024] In order to allow urine to flow more effectively from the internal cavity of the urine collection section 200 to the internal cavity of the test strip placement section 100, such as Figure 3 As shown, the internal cavity of the urine collection section 200 is inclined upwards from one end near the test strip placement section 100 to the other end. Specifically, only the internal cavity of the urine collection section 200 can be inclined, while the outer surface of the urine collection section 200 remains flat like the test strip placement section 100; alternatively, the entire urine collection section 200 and its internal cavity can be inclined, such as... Figure 3 As shown. Specifically, the urine collection section 200 can be tilted upwards at an angle of 10-30 degrees; in this embodiment, it is set at 15 degrees. By tilting the urine collection section 200, it facilitates the flow of urine from the urine collection section 200 to the test strip placement section 100, and allows it to contact the test strip 300 on the test strip placement section 100. Therefore, only a small amount of urine needs to be collected during use, avoiding the leakage and environmental pollution caused by collecting large amounts of urine.
[0025] In a specific configuration, a shoulder protruding outward can be provided circumferentially on the outer surface of the urine collection section 200. The shoulder is located at the rear end of the urine collection hole 210. The shoulder can prevent urine from flowing from the outer surface of the urine collection section 200 to the test strip placement section 100. Only urine entering through the urine collection hole 210 will flow to the test strip placement section 100.
[0026] In addition, the upper surface of the test strip placement part 100 is provided with a test strip placement groove 110 that is recessed inward. The test strip placement groove 110 extends along the length direction of the test strip placement part 100 and is used to place the test strip 300, such as... Figure 1 As shown. A urine flow channel 130 is formed between the long side wall of the test strip placement slot 110 and the side wall of the test strip placement portion 100. Specifically, the urine flow channel 130 may be formed between one long side wall of the test strip placement slot 110 and the side wall of the test strip placement portion 100, or both opposite long side walls of the test strip placement slot 110 may form urine flow channels 130 between them and the side walls of the test strip placement portion 100. In other words, each opposite side of the test strip placement slot 110 has a urine flow channel 130. Figure 4 As shown. Thus, the urine flowing from the internal cavity of the urine collection section 200 into the test strip placement section 100 is diverted into two urine channels 130.
[0027] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown, at least one liquid passage hole 140 is provided on each of the two opposite long side walls of the test strip placement groove 110 so that the test strip placement groove 110 is connected to the urine flow channel 130 through the liquid passage hole 140, that is, the urine in the urine flow channel 130 can enter the test strip placement groove 110 through the liquid passage hole 140, thereby contacting the test strip 300 placed in the test strip placement groove 110.
[0028] In the specific setup, the number of liquid passage holes 140 is the same as the number of test strips on the test strip 300, and the position of the liquid passage holes 140 corresponds one-to-one with the test strips on the test strip 300 placed in the test strip placement slot 110. That is, each test strip absorbs the urine flowing through the urine channel 130 from one side of a single liquid passage hole 140, and they do not affect each other, further reducing the probability of urine being contaminated.
[0029] Additionally, the end of the test strip placement slot 110 opposite to the urine collection section 200 is provided with an extra urine storage cavity 120 that communicates with the urine flow channel 130, such as... Figure 3 , 5 As shown.
[0030] During use, the collected urine flows forward along the urine flow channel 130. When the urine passes through the liquid passage 140, a small amount of urine enters the test strip placement groove 110 from the liquid passage 140 and comes into contact with the corresponding test strip on the test strip 300. Since the test strip has adsorption properties, once the urine comes into contact with the test strip, the test strip continuously adsorbs the urine flowing along the urine flow channel 130 until the test strip is saturated. When the test strip is saturated, the adsorption effect of the test strip is lost, and the excess urine in the urine flow channel 130 does not easily enter the test strip placement groove 110 from the liquid passage 140. Instead, it continues to flow forward to the excess urine storage chamber 120 for storage.
[0031] This embodiment has a simple structure, and compared with the traditional method of directly placing the test strip into the urine cup, it can prevent urine from being contaminated and improve the detection accuracy of various indicators in the urine.
[0032] It should be noted that all features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes disclosed, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.
[0033] Furthermore, the specific embodiments described above are exemplary.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model specification and its drawings are illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the claims.
