Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a urine collection and storage device. Background Technology
[0002] In many scenarios such as medical testing, drug trials, and routine health checkups, it is often necessary to collect human urine samples for analysis and testing. Current common urine collection methods have some inconveniences. For example, with traditional urine cups, after collecting urine, it is necessary to manually and carefully transfer the collected urine to a special storage container. During this transfer process, many adverse factors in the external environment become interfering factors. On the one hand, hospitals, laboratories, and other places have frequent personnel traffic, and the air contains a large number of bacteria, dust, and other pollutants that are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Open urine is very likely to come into contact with these contaminants, causing sample contamination and leading to deviations in subsequent test results that cannot accurately reflect the person's health status. Therefore, this utility model provides a urine collection and storage device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the traditional urine cup after collecting urine, this utility model is proposed.
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a urine collection and storage device to overcome the problem of sample contamination that easily occurs during the urine collection and transfer process in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A urine collection and storage device includes a U-shaped card frame support shell. The upper end of the U-shaped card frame support shell is provided with a urine inlet, and a funnel-shaped urine inlet shell is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the urine inlet. The bottom end of the funnel-shaped urine inlet shell is fixedly connected to the opening of a urine collection bottle. The bottom of the urine collection bottle is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the U-shaped card frame support shell. A gasket is fixedly provided on the surface of the urine inlet at the upper end of the U-shaped card frame support shell. A sealing component is movably provided at the urine inlet of the U-shaped card frame support shell, and the sealing component can slide to cover the urine inlet.
[0007] The sealing assembly includes a sealing cover plate, a guide plate is fixedly installed on one end surface of the sealing cover plate, a support rod is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the guide plate, the bottom end of the support rod is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod, one end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped card frame support shell, the other end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary protective frame, the auxiliary protective frame is fixedly installed on the surface of the U-shaped card frame support shell, and a sliding groove is opened at the upper end of the auxiliary sliding frame, and the support rod slides and splices in the sliding groove.
[0008] Preferably, a spring frame is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod, one end of the spring frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped card frame support shell, and the other end of the spring frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod.
[0009] Preferably, a grip cover is fitted on the outer side of the guide rod.
[0010] Preferably, the ring pad height is 0.3-0.4cm.
[0011] Preferably, the gasket is made of silicone, and the surface of the gasket has a plurality of perforations evenly distributed.
[0012] Preferably, the inner lining of the ring pad is filled with absorbent sponge.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0014] This invention utilizes a sealing assembly. The user simply holds the support frame with one hand, extending their fingers to hook onto the handle cover. Then, with slight force, they pull the support rod inside the handle cover away from the U-shaped card frame support shell. As the support rod moves, it stretches the connected spring frame. Simultaneously, because the guide plate is fixedly connected to the sealing cover, the support rod, through the guide plate, drives the sealing cover to move synchronously, gradually moving the sealing cover out of the urine inlet. This opens the urine collection channel, allowing the user to smoothly perform urine collection. Once urine collection is complete... When the user releases their fingers from the handle cover, the spring frame, which had been stretched, releases its elasticity, pushing the support rod back. The support rod then causes the sealing cover to move in the opposite direction, covering the urine collection port again. In this way, without external interference, the sealing cover can always keep the urine collection port closed, ensuring that the inside of the urine collection bottle is isolated from the external environment. This effectively avoids the possibility of urine coming into contact with external bacteria, dust, and other contaminants, minimizing the chance of sample contamination and providing accurate and reliable urine samples for subsequent testing, ensuring that the test results accurately reflect the human health status.
[0015] This invention features a silicone pad at the urine collection port, which is soft and prevents discomfort to the user from contacting a hard edge during urine collection. Combined with the sealing cover, it provides a certain degree of sealing to prevent urine from splashing out. Furthermore, the evenly spaced perforations on the surface of the pad and the absorbent sponge inside can quickly absorb any small amount of urine that may splash out during urine collection, keeping the area around the urine collection port dry and clean, further improving the hygiene performance of the device.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] This utility model discloses a urine collection and storage device.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-2 A urine collection and storage device includes a U-shaped card frame support shell 1, a urine inlet at the upper end of the U-shaped card frame support shell 1, and a funnel-shaped urine inlet shell 2 fixed at the bottom end of the urine inlet. The bottom end of the funnel-shaped urine inlet shell 2 is fixedly connected to the opening of a urine collection bottle 3. The bottom of the urine collection bottle 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the U-shaped card frame support shell 1. A ring gasket 4 is fixedly provided on the surface of the urine inlet at the upper end of the U-shaped card frame support shell 1. A sealing component is movably provided at the urine inlet of the U-shaped card frame support shell 1, and the sealing component can slide to cover the urine inlet.
[0024] The sealing assembly includes a sealing cover plate 5. A guide plate 6 is fixedly installed on one end of the sealing cover plate 5. A support rod 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the guide plate 6. The bottom end of the support rod 7 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 10. One end of the guide rod 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped card frame support shell 1. The other end of the guide rod 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary protective frame 8. The auxiliary protective frame 8 is fixedly installed on the surface of the U-shaped card frame support shell 1. A sliding groove 9 is opened at the upper end of the auxiliary sliding frame, and the support rod 7 slides and splices within the sliding groove 9.
[0025] A spring frame 12 is fitted on the outside of the guide rod 10. One end of the spring frame 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped card frame support shell 1, and the other end of the spring frame 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod 7.
[0026] A grip cover 11 is fitted on the outside of the guide rod 10.
[0027] The height of the ring pad is 0.3-0.4cm.
[0028] The ring pad 4 is made of silicone, and the surface of the ring pad 4 has several perforations evenly distributed.
[0029] The inner lining of ring 4 is filled with absorbent sponge.
[0030] In this invention, when preparing to collect urine, the user holds the auxiliary guard frame 8 on the surface of the U-shaped card frame support shell 1 with one hand. At this time, the fingers naturally extend and hook the handle cover 11, which is also installed on the outside of the guide rod 10. Then, the user applies a little force and pulls the support rod 7 inside the handle cover 11 away from the U-shaped card frame support shell 1 along the direction of the guide rod 10. When the support rod 7 moves, the spring frame 12, which is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 10 and connected to the U-shaped card frame support shell 1 at one end and the support rod 7 at the other end, will be stretched and start to accumulate elastic potential energy. At the same time, since the bottom end of the guide plate 6, which is fixed to one end of the sealing cover plate 5, is fixedly connected to the support rod 7, the movement of the support rod 7 will drive the sealing cover plate 5 to slide synchronously along the sliding groove 9 opened at the upper end of the auxiliary sliding frame through the guide plate 6, so that the sealing cover plate 5 gradually moves out of the urine inlet and smoothly opens the urine collection channel, allowing the user to perform urine collection operations without any obstruction.
[0031] After urine collection is complete, the user simply needs to release their fingers hooked on the handle cover 11. The previously stretched spring frame 12, with its own elasticity, pushes the support rod 7 back. The support rod 7 stably returns to its original position along the guide rod 10, thereby causing the sealing cover 5 to move in the opposite direction along the slide 9, covering the urine collection port again. In this way, without any external interference, the sealing cover 5 can always cover the urine collection port, isolating the inside of the urine collection bottle 3 from the external environment, avoiding the risk of urine coming into contact with bacteria, dust and other contaminants from the outside world, minimizing the chance of sample contamination, providing a reliable urine sample for subsequent professional testing procedures, and effectively ensuring the test results.

The scope of the embodiments of this application is limited only by the appended claims.
[0033] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of the embodiments of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the embodiments of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
