Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of human life necessities, and in particular to medical auxiliary equipment, especially a disposable separable urine collection device. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical nursing practice, urinalysis typically uses disposable urine cups and test tubes. Patients urinate into the disposable cup, then pour the urine into a test tube, and submit the tube to medical staff for testing. However, this method has several major problems:

[0003] (1) Small opening: Because the opening of the disposable urine cup is small, it is easy to spill urine on hands or the ground during collection or pouring, which leads to sample contamination and the risk of bacterial infection.

[0004] (2) Inconvenient to pour: The process of transferring the disposable urine cup and the test tube is complicated, especially for middle-aged and elderly patients, making it difficult to align and easy to cause secondary contamination.

[0005] (3) Inaccurate measurement: When pouring urine from the urine cup into the test tube, the patient has difficulty accurately controlling the amount of urine poured in. It is easy to pour too little or overflow, which can affect the measurement accuracy of the urine sample.

[0006] (4) Easy to forget: Traditional urine collection devices usually consist of two separate parts, which often need to be given to the patient separately or allowed to be picked up by the patient themselves. This often results in the loss of disposable urine cups, making it inconvenient for the patient to collect urine.

[0007] (5) Urine sediment affecting detection: Sediment in urine may be due to an increase in proteins, cells, or crystals in the urine, which aggregate to form sediment. During urine testing, these sediments may interfere with the testing process, leading to inaccurate results. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a disposable separable urine collection device, which aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art, such as small cup opening, inconvenient pouring, inaccurate measurement, easy forgetting, and urine sediment affecting detection.

[0009] A disposable separable urine collection device includes a funnel, a valve connected to the bottom end of the funnel, a tube connected to the bottom end of the valve, and the top end of the tube communicating with the bottom end of the funnel through the valve; a test tube with a cap at its opening and an insertion hole on the cap communicating with the test tube; the bottom end of the tube being inserted into the insertion hole; a partition plate horizontally arranged inside the funnel, the partition plate being composed of a fixed plate and a movable plate, the fixed plate and the movable plate being connected by a hinge, and the outer edge of the fixed plate being fixed to the inner wall of the funnel; a vertical tube arranged on the fixed plate, the bottom of the vertical tube penetrating the fixed plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a rubber plug is provided inside the socket.

[0011] Furthermore, a pouring spout is provided at the outer edge of the upper opening of the funnel, and the pouring spout is located on one side of the movable plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the outer edge of the upper opening of the funnel.

[0013] Furthermore, the test tube is equipped with sampling scale lines.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper opening diameter of the funnel is 8cm-10cm.

[0015] Furthermore, the valve is a push-button valve or a plug valve.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are positive and obvious:

[0017] 1. The funnel of this utility model has an upper opening diameter of 8cm-10cm, which is larger than that of ordinary urine cups, making it easier to collect urine and avoiding the risk of sample contamination and bacterial infection caused by splashing urine on hands or the ground during the collection process.

[0018] 2. The bottom end of the insertion tube of this utility model is inserted into the insertion hole of the test tube, so that the urine in the funnel can be directly discharged into the test tube through the insertion tube, avoiding secondary pollution caused by the tilting of the traditional urine cup, and making sampling more convenient.

[0019] 3. The bottom end of the funnel of this utility model is connected to a valve, and the bottom end of the valve is connected to an insertion tube. Pressing the button of the valve will connect the top end of the insertion tube to the bottom end of the funnel, thereby allowing the urine in the funnel to be discharged through the insertion tube, which facilitates accurate control of the amount of urine discharged and improves the measurement accuracy of urine samples.

[0020] 4. The funnel of this utility model is pre-connected to the test tube. When the patient receives the urine collection device, the funnel and test tube are sealed in a packaging bag and handed to the patient together, effectively preventing the patient from missing some parts.

[0021] 5. In this invention, the sediment in the urine settles near the upper surface of the partition plate, and the upper opening of the vertical tube samples the middle section of the accumulated urine, thereby preventing the urine sediment from entering the lower part of the funnel and thus avoiding the sediment from interfering with the detection process and causing inaccurate detection results.

[0027] The following embodiments will further illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a disposable separable urine collection device, including a funnel 1. The upper opening diameter of the funnel 1 is 8cm-10cm, which is larger than that of a regular urine cup, making it easier to collect urine and avoiding the risk of sample contamination and bacterial infection caused by urine splashing onto hands or the ground during the collection process.

[0029] A valve 202 is connected to the bottom end of the funnel 1, and an insertion tube 101 is connected to the bottom end of the valve 202. The valve 202 is a press valve 4. Pressing the button 401 of the press valve 4 will connect the top end of the insertion tube 101 with the bottom end of the funnel 1, thereby allowing the urine in the funnel 1 to be discharged through the insertion tube 101.

[0030] In other embodiments, valve 202 may also be a simple valve structure such as a knob valve, thereby reducing costs and facilitating one-time use.

[0031] A rubber stopper is installed in the insertion hole 201 of the cap 2. The insertion tube 101 passes through the rubber stopper and communicates with the inner cavity of the test tube 3. When the insertion tube 101 is pulled out of the rubber stopper, the puncture site of the rubber stopper is naturally sealed to prevent urine leakage.

[0032] The test tube 3 is equipped with sampling graduation lines to mark the optimal liquid level for collection, which facilitates accurate control of the collected urine volume and improves the measurement accuracy of urine samples.

[0033] A partition plate 5 is horizontally installed inside the funnel 1. The partition plate 5 is composed of a fixed plate 501 and a movable plate 502. The fixed plate 501 and the movable plate 502 are connected by a hinge. The outer edge of the fixed plate 501 is fixed to the inner wall of the funnel 1. Due to the shape of the funnel 1, which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, after the movable plate 502 is hinged to the fixed plate 501, it can only be flipped up around the hinge. The movable plate 502 fits tightly against the inner wall of the funnel 1, thereby preventing urine above the partition plate 5 from leaking through the outer periphery of the partition plate 5 to the bottom of the partition plate 5.

[0034] A vertical pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 501. The bottom of the vertical pipe 6 passes through the fixed plate 501, and urine above the partition plate 5 can only enter the lower part of the partition plate 5 through the vertical pipe 6.

[0035] When urine enters the funnel 1, it accumulates on the partition plate 5. At the same time, the vertical tube 6 is higher than the partition plate 5, so there is a certain distance between the upper opening of the vertical tube 6 and the partition plate 5. The sediment in the urine settles near the upper surface of the partition plate 5. The upper opening of the vertical tube 6 samples the middle part of the accumulated urine, thereby preventing the urine sediment from entering the lower part of the funnel 1, thus avoiding the sediment from interfering with the detection process and causing inaccurate detection results.

[0036] A pouring spout 102 is provided at the outer edge of the upper opening of the funnel 1, and the pouring spout 102 is located on one side of the movable plate 502. When emptying excess urine from the funnel 1, it is poured towards the pouring spout 102. The tilting of the funnel 1 causes the movable plate 502 to open due to gravity. The urine located under the partition plate 5 in the funnel 1 is poured out through the opened movable plate 502, making it easy to empty the funnel 1 and then discard it.

[0037] A handle 103 is provided at the outer edge of the upper opening of the funnel 1 for easy gripping.

[0038] How to use this embodiment:

[0039] 1. Before collecting urine, the patient obtains the urine collection device from the medical staff. When receiving the device, the funnel 1 is pre-connected to the test tube 3 and sealed in a packaging bag before being handed to the patient, effectively preventing the patient from missing any parts.

[0040] 2. Tear open the packaging to use the product. The patient urinates into the funnel 1 opening. After urination, the urine accumulates above the partition plate 5.

[0041] 3. The urine accumulated above the partition plate 5 can enter below the partition plate 5 through the vertical tube 6. There is a certain distance between the upper opening of the vertical tube 6 and the partition plate 5. The sediment in the urine settles near the upper surface of the partition plate 5. The upper opening of the vertical tube 6 samples the middle part of the accumulated urine, thereby preventing the urine sediment from entering the lower part of the funnel 1 and avoiding the sediment from interfering with the detection process and causing inaccurate detection results.

[0042] 4. Press button 401 on the pressure valve 4 to connect the top of the cannula 101 with the bottom of the funnel 1. This allows the urine in the funnel 1, located below the partition plate 5, to be discharged into the test tube 3 through the cannula 101. The test tube 3 is marked with sampling graduation lines to indicate the optimal liquid level for accurate control of the collected urine volume, improving the measurement accuracy of the urine sample and preventing insufficient or excessive collection. Releasing the pressure valve 4 stops the injection of urine into the test tube 3.

[0043] 5. Pull out the rubber stopper of test tube 3 from the insertion tube 101, so that test tube 3 is separated from funnel 1. When pulled out, the puncture site of the rubber stopper will close naturally to prevent urine leakage.

[0044] 6. When emptying excess urine from funnel 1, tilt it toward the pouring opening 102. The tilting of funnel 1 will cause the movable plate 502 to open due to gravity. The urine in funnel 1 located under the partition plate 5 will pour out through the opened movable plate 502. After emptying funnel 1, discard funnel 1.

[0045] 7. Finally, hand test tube 3 to the medical staff to complete the sampling.
