Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to medical consumables, and more particularly to a urine specimen collection device that prevents spillage. Background Technology

[0002] Urine testing is a common method used by medical institutions to diagnose patients' conditions. Before testing, urine samples need to be collected and properly stored. Currently, there are problems with collection and storage: (1) the existing urine cups are open, and patients are prone to spilling urine when receiving the sample, contaminating their hands; (2) when the collection volume is sufficient, patients cannot easily control when to stop urinating, and urine overflow may occur if the volume exceeds the capacity of the urine cup; (3) during transfer and storage, urine samples are easily contaminated by dust in the environment or spilled. Due to the above problems, the controllability of the urine sample collection process is poor, hygiene standards are difficult to guarantee, the timing of interrupting urination is difficult to control, and the effectiveness of subsequent sample testing cannot be guaranteed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a spill-proof urine specimen collector, which improves the controllability and hygiene standards during urine specimen collection, transfer and storage, avoids contamination, prevents spillage, ensures the convenience of collection operation and the effectiveness of testing, and at the same time provides greater tolerance for patients to interrupt urination when the collection volume reaches the target.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a urine sample collector for preventing spillage, comprising a urine collector and a urine cup movably connected to the lower end of the urine collector. The urine cup is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, and a connector I is provided at the inlet. An upwardly angled outlet tube is connected to the side wall of the urine cup. A float ball is filled inside the urine cup, and the diameter of the float ball is larger than the inlet diameter of the urine cup. The inlet at the upper end of the urine collector is larger than the outlet at the lower end. A conduit is connected to the outlet of the urine collector. A connector II is provided at the lower end of the conduit. An overflow tube is opened through the side wall of the conduit. The inner port of the overflow tube is lower than the connector I and higher than the float ball, and the outer port of the overflow tube is lower than the bottom of the urine cup. Connector I and connector II are threaded together.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the edge of the urine collector inlet first extends outward and then rolls downward and inward to form a rolled edge. The urine collector is divided into a male urine collector and a female urine collector. The male urine collector inlet is circular. The female urine collector inlet is a narrow ellipse or nearly ellipse. The inner side of the rolled edge of the female urine collector inlet is connected to a baffle.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the outer port of the liquid outlet pipe is higher than the highest position where the float can float.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper end of the connector I is connected to an absorbent cotton ring.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the urine cup is provided with a notched interlayer, and disposable gloves are filled inside the interlayer.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the notch is located on the lower surface of the interlayer.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the urine cup is cone-shaped or pear-shaped.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the float is a hollow sphere.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: (1) This utility model receives urine samples and introduces them into a urine cup through a urine collector. The urine collector has a large inlet and is designed specifically for the physiological characteristics of men and women to prevent urine from splashing out and contaminating the hands; (2) Due to the design of the overflow tube, when the urine sample collection volume reaches the standard, the float rises and blocks the urine cup inlet. Excess urine that is not interrupted in time can be discharged from the overflow tube and flow out along a fixed path, providing greater tolerance for the patient to interrupt urination; (3) The urine cup is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, making it less likely to tip over during storage. The float also blocks the inlet, preventing environmental impurities from contaminating the urine sample; (4) In addition, the rolled edge design of the urine collector inlet improves the comfort when in contact with the patient's body. The absorbent cotton ring can absorb the urine remaining on the inner wall when disassembling connector I and connector II, further improving the hygiene standard. In summary, this utility model can improve the controllability and hygiene standard during urine sample collection, transfer and storage, avoid contamination, prevent spillage, and ensure the convenience of collection operations and the effectiveness of testing.

[0020] See also the appendix. Figure 1-5 The structure of this utility model's anti-overflow urine specimen collector includes a urine collector 1 and a urine cup 2 movably connected to the lower end of the urine collector 1. The urine cup 2 is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, and a connector I3 is provided at the inlet. An upwardly angled outlet pipe 4 is connected to the side wall of the urine cup 2. A float 5 is filled inside the urine cup 2, and the diameter of the float 5 is larger than the inlet diameter of the urine cup 2. The inlet at the upper end of the urine collector 1 is larger than the outlet at the lower end. A conduit 6 is connected to the outlet of the urine collector 1. A connector II7 is provided at the lower end of the conduit 6. An overflow pipe 8 is opened through the side wall of the conduit 6. The inner port of the overflow pipe 8 is lower than the connector I3 and higher than the float 5, and the outer port of the overflow pipe 8 is lower than the bottom of the urine cup 2. The connector I3 and the connector II7 are threaded together.

[0021] The outer port of the outlet tube 4 is higher than the highest position that the float 5 can float. When the float 5 floats to the highest position and blocks the inlet of the urine cup 2, excess urine will no longer enter the urine cup 2, and the urine sample in the urine cup 2 will not overflow from the outlet tube 4.

[0022] The upper end of connector I3 is connected to an absorbent cotton ring 9. The absorbent cotton ring 9 can absorb the small amount of urine remaining on the inner wall when connector I3 and connector II7 are separated, further improving hygiene standards.

[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the bottom of the urine cup 2 is provided with a layer 10 with a notch 11, and a disposable glove is filled inside the layer 10. The notch 11 is located on the lower surface of the layer 10. The disposable glove is removed from the notch 11 for use.

[0024] The urine cup 2 is cone-shaped or pear-shaped. It is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, which increases the stability of the urine cup 2 during transportation and storage.

[0025] The float 5 is a hollow sphere. The hollow sphere 5 can reduce the amount of consumables used and reduce weight.

[0026] The edge of the inlet of the urine collector 1 first extends outward and then downward and inward to form a rolled edge 12. The urine collector is divided into a male urine collector and a female urine collector.

[0027] See Figure 1-3 In the first specific embodiment shown, the inlet of the male urine collector is circular.

[0028] See Figure 4 and 5In the second specific embodiment shown, the inlet of the female urine collector is a narrow oval or nearly oval shape, and a baffle 13 is connected to the inner side of the inlet rolled edge 12 of the female urine collector.

[0029] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When collecting urine, male patients urinate by inserting their genitals into the urine collector 1 through the inlet, while female patients urinate by placing the urine collector 1 inside the urethra. The discharged urine is collected by the urine collector 1, preventing splashing and contamination of the hands.

[0030] Then, the urine sample in the urine collector 1 flows into the urine cup 2 through the catheter 6. As the urine in the urine cup 2 gradually increases, the float 5 gradually rises until the float 5 blocks the entrance of the urine cup 2. After that, the excess urine will flow out from the overflow tube 8. The patient can stop urinating or wait until urination is finished as desired. Due to the siphon effect, the overflow tube 8 can suck out all the urine above the float 5. Finally, unscrew the connector I3 and connector II7. A small amount of urine remaining on the inner wall will be absorbed by the absorbent cotton ring 9. Discard the urine collector 1 and place the urine cup 2 in the designated area for testing.

[0031] During transportation and storage, due to the special shape of urine cup 2, it is not easy to spill or be contaminated by the outside world.

[0032] During the test, tilt the urine cup 2 toward the outlet tube 4, and the urine sample will flow out from the outlet tube 4.

[0033] The above description is only presented as a feasible technical solution of this utility model and is not intended as a single limitation on the technical solution itself.
