Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, and in particular to a controllable urine bag that helps reduce the patient's reluctance to urinate and allows the patient to easily perform the urination operation on their own in bed. Background Technology

[0002] A urine collection bag is a sterilized plastic bag used to collect urine. Indwelling catheterization is a common and frequently used nursing procedure in clinical practice to accurately record urine volume and alleviate patients' difficulty in urinating. A urine collection bag is an essential item for indwelling catheterization and needs to be changed regularly. Currently, when caregivers or patients themselves urinate from the bottom, they need to squat down and open the bottom valve of the urine collection bag. At this time, the caregiver's or patient's hand is very close to the urine outlet of the bag, and their hand can easily come into direct contact with the outlet, and may even come into contact with the patient's urine. This can cause caregivers or patients to be reluctant to urinate due to psychological factors, and it is also unhygienic and poses safety concerns. Furthermore, if family members on night duty fall asleep... For patients who are unable to urinate due to family members not staying with them in the ward at night, it is inconvenient for them to empty the urine bag themselves when it is full. This can lead to patients being reluctant to empty it, resulting in delayed urination, which is detrimental to their treatment. A Chinese utility model patent, entitled "A Urine Bag with a Simple Switch Connector," with patent number ZL202121543711.5 and publication date of 2021-07-08, includes a urine bag body, a hanging ring, a catheter, and a ureter. The top of the catheter is fixedly connected to an inlet tube, the bottom of the ureter is fixedly connected to a spherical cavity, the front of the spherical cavity is fixedly connected to a fixing tube, and the bottom of the spherical cavity is fixedly connected to an outlet tube. This utility model has a reasonable structural design, is simple to operate, and only requires rotating a lever to control the opening and closing of the outlet tube. There is no risk of contamination from medical staff touching the urine, and the urine flow rate can be controlled, resulting in good performance and high work efficiency. However, in this patent, a person still needs to approach and turn the rotating lever to control the opening and closing of the urination tube. At this time, the person's hand is still relatively close to the outlet of the urination tube, and it is still easy to come into contact with urine and be contaminated.

[0003] How to solve the above problems has become an urgent technical issue. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a controllable urine bag that helps reduce the patient's reluctance to urinate and allows the patient to easily perform the urination operation on their own while in bed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a controllable urine bag, including a urine bag body and a catheter. The upper end of the urine bag body has a catheter connector that can be connected to the catheter. The lower end of the urine bag body has a drain pipe with a valve. A pull assembly capable of opening and closing the lower outlet of the drain pipe is connected to the lower end of the drain pipe. A pull rope is movably mounted on one side of the pull assembly, and a fixing plate with a fixing rope is provided on the other side of the pull assembly. A drainage tube is provided at the lower end of the pull assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, the pull-out assembly includes a mounting base, with connectors at the upper and lower ends of the mounting base that can be connected to the drain pipe and the drainage pipe respectively. A drain channel communicating with the connectors is provided within the mounting base. An adjustment channel communicating with the drain channel is vertically provided within the mounting base. A tension seat is provided on the side of the mounting base. An adjustment chamber communicating with the adjustment channel is provided within the tension seat along its length. A piston is movably mounted within the adjustment chamber. The front end of the piston is movably connected to the adjustment channel, and the rear end of the piston extends through the adjustment chamber to the outside of the tension seat and is connected to the pull rope. A spring is fitted at one end of the piston near the pull rope, allowing it to contact the inner wall of the adjustment chamber.

[0008] Furthermore, the piston includes a slider capable of moving back and forth within the adjustment chamber. One end of the slider is provided with an adjustment rod capable of slidingly engaging with the adjustment channel. The other end of the slider is provided with a connecting rod capable of extending to the outside of the tension seat and connecting with the pull rope. The spring is sleeved on the connecting rod, wherein one end of the spring is in contact with the slider, and the other end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the adjustment chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the adjustment channel is smaller than the inner diameter of the adjustment chamber, and a waterproof ring is provided in the adjustment channel between the drainage channel and the adjustment chamber, allowing the adjustment rod to pass through. The waterproof ring is located in the adjustment channel near the drainage channel.

[0010] Furthermore, a fixing ring is provided at the rear end of the connecting rod to be connected to the pull rope, and a pull ring is provided at the front end of the pull rope.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing plate is provided with fixing holes for connecting the fixing rope.

[0012] Furthermore, the urine bag body is provided with graduations along its length.

[0013] Furthermore, a hanging rope is provided on the urine bag body near the catheter connector.

[0014] Due to the adoption of the above structure, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention relates to a controllable urine bag. The upper end of the urine bag body is connected to the patient's urinary catheter via a catheter connector. A pull-out assembly connects the drainage tube to the drain tube at the lower end of the urine bag body. This allows urine to be drained through the catheter into the urine bag body for storage, facilitating accurate urine volume recording. When the patient needs to empty the urine bag, pulling the pull cord opens the pull-out assembly, allowing urine to drain through the drain tube and pull-out assembly from the front of the drainage tube into a urine collection basin or other container. Releasing the pull cord closes the pull-out assembly and stops urination. This eliminates the need for caregivers or the patient to get out of bed and squat down to operate the urine bag body, thus minimizing direct contact between the hands and the urination area at the lower end of the urine bag body, promoting hygiene and reducing the risk of contamination and infection. This invention reduces the risk of patients having to urinate, and also reduces their psychological burden. Because one end of the pull-out component is fixed by a fixed rope and a fixed plate, the patient will not pull or lift the pull-out component and the urine bag body when pulling the rope, making it convenient to pull the rope. It also makes it easier for patients to operate the rope for long-distance urination while in bed, which is especially suitable for bedridden patients to urinate by themselves. In addition, because there is a valve on the drainage tube, it can shut off the drainage tube in case of urine leakage due to poor pipe connection or problems with the pull-out component, improving safety during use. Therefore, this invention, a controllable urine bag, helps to reduce the patient's reluctance to urinate and allows the patient to urinate by themselves while in bed.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a controllable urine bag, including a urine bag body 1 and a catheter 2. The upper end of the urine bag body 1 is provided with a catheter connector 11 that can connect to the catheter 2. The lower end of the urine bag body 1 is provided with a drain pipe 12, and a valve 13 is provided on the drain pipe 12. A pull-out assembly 3, capable of opening and closing the lower outlet of the drain pipe 12, is connected to the lower end of the drain pipe 12. A pull rope 4 is movably mounted on one side of the pull-out assembly 3, and a fixing plate 7 is provided on the other side of the pull-out assembly 3. The fixing plate 7 has... A fixed rope 5 is attached, and a drainage tube 6 is provided at the lower end of the pull-out assembly 3. The upper end of the urine bag body 1 is connected to the patient's catheter 2 via a catheter connector 11, and the drainage tube 6 is connected to the drain tube 12 at the lower end of the urine bag body 1 via the pull-out assembly 3. Thus, the urine of the patient during urination is drained into the urine bag body 1 through the catheter 2 for storage, which is beneficial for accurate recording of urine volume. When the patient needs to drain the urine in the urine bag body 1, pulling the pull rope 4 will open the pull-out assembly 3 and allow the urine in the urine bag body 1 to drain through the drain tube 12. The pull-out component 3 drains from the front end of the drainage tube 6 into the urinal or other urine collection container. Releasing the pull rope 4 closes the pull-out component 3 and stops urination. This eliminates the need for caregivers or patients to get out of bed and squat down to operate the urine bag body 1 for urination. Therefore, it reduces the direct contact of the hands with the lower end of the urine bag body 1, ensuring hygiene and reducing the risk of contamination and infection. It also reduces the patient's aversion to urination and alleviates psychological burden. Since one end of the pull-out component 3 is fixed to the fixing plate 7 via the fixing rope 5, the patient will not pull or lift the pull-out component 3 or the urine bag body 1 when pulling the pull rope 4, making it convenient to pull the pull rope 4. This also facilitates long-distance urination by the patient while in bed, making it especially suitable for bedridden patients. Furthermore, a valve 13 is installed on the drainage tube 12, which can be used to urgently close the drainage tube 12 channel in case of leaks due to poor pipe connections or problems with the pull-out component 3, improving safety during use. The length of the pull rope 4 can be selected and manufactured according to actual needs.

[0025] In this invention, the pull-out assembly 3 includes a mounting base 31. Connectors 32, which can be connected to the drain pipe 12 and the drainage pipe 6 respectively, are provided at the upper and lower ends of the mounting base 31. A drain channel 311 communicating with the connectors 32 is provided inside the mounting base 31. An adjustment channel 312 communicating with the drain channel 311 is vertically provided inside the mounting base 31. A tension seat 33 is provided on the side of the mounting base 31. An adjustment chamber 331 communicating with the adjustment channel 312 is provided inside the tension seat 33 along its length. A piston 34 is movably mounted inside the adjustment chamber 331. The front end of the piston 34 is movably connected to the adjustment channel 312, and the rear end of the piston 34 extends through the adjustment chamber 331 to the outside of the tension seat 33 and is connected to the pull rope 4. A sleeve is provided at one end of the piston 34 near the pull rope 4, which can communicate with the adjustment chamber 331. The spring 35 is in contact with the wall; the adjustment channel 312 is connected to the drainage channel 311. The piston 34 can move back and forth in the adjustment chamber 331 and the adjustment channel 312. Therefore, under the elastic action of the spring 35, the piston 34 moves to the top of the front end of the adjustment channel 312 to block the drainage channel 311. Thus, the urine is isolated in the space connected to the drainage pipe 12 at the upper end of the drainage channel 311, thereby locking the channel and preventing the urine from passing through. The pull rope 4 is connected to the rear end of the piston 34, so that the spring 35 can be gradually compressed after the piston 34 is pulled. At this time, the front end of the piston 34 moves backward along the length of the adjustment channel 312 and away from the drainage channel 311 as the pull rope 4 is pulled. Thus, the drainage channel 311 gradually opens and forms a passage for urine to pass through, thereby realizing the discharge of urine. After the pull rope 4 is released, the piston 34 locks itself again under the action of the spring 35.

[0026] In this invention, the piston 34 includes a slider 341 capable of moving back and forth within the adjustment chamber 331. One end of the slider 341 has an adjusting rod 342 that slides within the adjustment channel 312. The other end of the slider 341 has a connecting rod 343 that extends to the outside of the tension seat 33 and connects to the pull rope 4. A spring 35 is sleeved on the connecting rod 343, with one end of the spring 35 in contact with the slider 341 and the other end connected to the inner wall of the adjustment chamber 331. The inner diameter of the adjustment channel 312 is smaller than the inner diameter of the adjustment chamber 331. The adjustment channel 311 between the drainage channel 311 and the adjustment chamber 331... 2 is equipped with a waterproof ring 36 that allows the adjusting rod 342 to pass through. The waterproof ring 36 is located in the adjusting channel 312 near the drainage channel 311. The movement of the pull rope 4 can drive the connecting rod 343, the slider 341, and the adjusting rod 342 to move. Since the inner diameter of the adjusting channel 312 is smaller than the inner diameter of the adjusting chamber 331, the slider 341 only moves back and forth within the adjusting chamber 331 to play a limiting role. The elasticity of the spring 35 pushes the slider 341 towards the adjusting channel 312 so that the adjusting rod 342 cooperates with the adjusting channel 312 to complete the locking function. The waterproof ring 36 adopts a sealing ring structure, which can minimize the entry of urine into the adjusting chamber 331.

[0027] In this invention, a fixing ring 344 that can be connected to the pull rope 4 is provided at the rear end of the connecting rod 343, and a pull ring 41 is provided at the front end of the pull rope 4; a fixing hole 71 that can be connected to the fixing rope 5 is provided on the fixing plate 7; the fixing ring 344 facilitates the connection of the pull rope 4 and the connecting rod 343, the pull ring 41 makes it easy to pick up and pull the pull rope 4, and the pull ring 41 also makes it easy to place the pull rope 4 and identify its position. One end of the fixing rope 5 can be connected to the connecting fixing plate 7 through the fixing hole 71, and the other end of the fixing rope 5 can be tied to other objects, thereby fixing the fixing plate 7 to a certain extent, making it convenient to pull the pull rope 4 and drive the connecting rod 343 by leveraging force.

[0028] In this invention, a scale 14 is provided on the urine bag body 1 along the length direction of the urine bag body 1; the setting of the scale 14 is beneficial for recording the amount of urine excreted by the patient within a certain period of time, which is beneficial for treatment.

[0029] In this invention, a hanging rope 15 is provided on the urine bag body 1 near the catheter connector 11; the hanging rope 15 facilitates the placement of the urine bag body 1.

[0030] In practical use, the connectors 32 at the upper and lower ends of the mounting base 31 are connected to the drainage tube 6 and the drain tube 12 respectively. An external urine collection container is connected to the front end of the drain tube 12. The catheter connector 11 is then connected to the patient's catheter 2. The urine bag body 1 is then hung in a suitable position using the hanging rope 15. One end of the fixing rope 5 is connected to the fixing hole 71, and the other end of the fixing rope 5 is tied to another object. Finally, the pull ring 41 is placed in a position easily accessible to the patient, and the valve 13 is opened for normal operation. When the patient needs to urinate periodically, the pull ring 41 is removed, and the pull rope 4 is pulled directly. The adjusting rod 342 moves the compression spring 35 and opens the drain channel 311. Urine in the urine bag body 1 can be discharged through the drain pipe 12, drain channel 311, and drainage tube 6. When it is necessary to stop urination, the pull rope 4 is released, and the connecting rod 343, slider 341, and adjusting rod 342 are reset under the elastic action of spring 35, and the adjusting rod 342 blocks the drain channel 311. At this time, the urine is blocked in the space between the upper end of the drain channel 311 and the drain pipe 12, so that the drainage tube 6 stops discharging urine. Therefore, it is not necessary for caregivers or patients to get out of bed and squat down to operate the urine bag body 1 to urinate. It is convenient to use, and it is not easy for people to directly touch the urination point at the lower end of the urine bag body 1, which can reduce the risk of infection, reduce the rejection of urination for patients, and reduce psychological burden.
