The lower end of the pot body 1 is provided with an outlet 13.

[0030] The closing mechanism 2 includes a cover plate 21 and an elastic element 22. The cover plate 21 is hinged to the outer wall of the pot body 1 and is used to close the outlet 13. The two ends of the elastic element 22 are respectively connected to the cover plate 21 and the pot body 1.

[0031] The opening mechanism 3 includes a fixing block 31, a pressure rod 32, and a pull rope 33. The fixing block 31 is fixed to the kettle body 1, the pressure rod 32 is hinged to the fixing block 31, one end of the pull rope 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure rod 32, and the other end of the pull rope 33 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 21.

[0032] During use, when urinating, urine enters the vessel body 1 through the inlet 11. Due to the action of the one-way valve 12, urine can only enter the vessel body 1 through the inlet 11 and cannot flow in the reverse direction. This prevents urine from flowing back out of the vessel body 1 through the inlet 11 and also prevents odors from escaping from the vessel body 1 through the inlet 11. When it is necessary to pour out the urine from the vessel body 1, press down the other end of the lever 32, causing one end of the lever 32 to rise, thereby pulling one end of the pull rope 33 to open the cover plate 21, opening the outlet 13, and then draining the urine from the outlet 13. After draining, release the lever 32, and under the restoring force of the elastic element 22, the cover plate 21 closes again on the outlet 13, sealing the outlet 13. Thus, this device has separate inlet 11 and outlet 13, avoiding the problem of easy contamination of inlet and outlet due to mixed use of inlet and outlet, and reducing the degree of contamination at the inlet.

[0033] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The upper end of the kettle body 1 is also fixed with a handle 14, and the other end of the pressure rod 32 is located above the handle 14, so that it is convenient to lift the handle 14 with one hand while pressing the pressure rod 32.

[0042] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 4 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: During use, when urinating, urine enters the pot body 1 from the urine inlet 11. Due to the action of the one-way valve 12, urine can only enter the pot body 1 from the urine inlet 11 and cannot flow in the reverse direction. This prevents urine in the pot body 1 from flowing back out from the urine inlet 11 and also prevents odors in the pot body 1 from escaping from the urine inlet 11. When it is necessary to pour out the urine in the pot body 1, press down the other end of the pressure rod 32, causing one end of the pressure rod 32 to rise, thereby pulling one end of the pull rope 33 to pull the rope, thereby opening the cover plate 21 and opening the outlet 13. Then, the urine is discharged from the outlet 13. After the urine is discharged, release the pressure rod 32. Under the restoring force of the elastic element 22, the cover plate 21 closes again on the outlet 13, thus closing the outlet 13. Therefore, this device has a separate urine inlet 11 and an outlet 13, avoiding the problem of easy contamination of the inlet and outlet due to mixed use of inlets and outlets, and reducing the degree of contamination of the urine inlet.
