Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, specifically a sterile test tube for urine testing. Background Technology

[0002] In medical testing, urine sampling is a basic examination item. For collecting urine samples, after the patient washes the vulva or foreskin and urethral opening with soapy water or warm water, without wearing sterile gloves, the patient holds a sterile test tube in one hand and removes the sterile stopper of the test tube with the other hand to urinate. After discarding the first part of the urine, the patient continues to urinate without interruption, directly collecting 5-10 ml of urine into the sterile test tube, and then tightly closing the test tube stopper, thus collecting the urine for subsequent testing.

[0003] Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN219166472U discloses a novel sterile urine collection tube. The specification of this novel sterile urine collection tube states that it simplifies the urine sample collection process for patients. The foldable funnel and its connection to the tube make the overall use of the tube more convenient and effectively ensure that the urine sample is not contaminated during sampling and delivery. This simplifies the overall operation and improves practicality. However, while the foldable funnel is convenient, its installation is not easy. When the tube is closed, folding or retracting the funnel can still easily contaminate the internal urine, resulting in poor practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sterile test tube for urine testing, which can effectively solve the problem in the prior art that is not convenient to install the funnel. When the test tube is closed, it is easy to fold or retract the funnel, which still easily contaminates the urine inside, resulting in poor practicality.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a sterile test tube for urine testing, including a test tube body, a fixing sleeve and a flaring assembly. A tube body connecting end is fixedly installed at the end of the test tube body away from the fixing sleeve. A tube cap is threadedly connected to the outer edge of the tube body connecting end. A slot, a sliding groove and a fixing groove are opened at the inner edge of the end of the test tube body away from the fixing sleeve. A flaring assembly is inserted and installed at the inner wall of the test tube body away from the fixing sleeve.

[0006] The flaring assembly includes a sleeve, a locking block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sleeve, and a flaring sleeve is fixedly installed at the end of the sleeve away from the test tube body. The length of the sleeve is the same as the length of the tube body connection end. The cross-section of the sleeve is a "conical" design, and the cross-section of the flaring sleeve is a "funnel" shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

[0007] Preferably, a weight is fixedly installed at one end of the test tube near the fixed sleeve, and the weight is located on the inner surface of the fixed sleeve.

[0008] The above technical solution, through the design of the weight block, makes the weight of the bottom of the test tube higher than that of the top. When the entire test tube is placed on the test tube rack, its center of gravity can be raised, which can prevent the test tube from easily tipping over, causing damage or leakage of the internal test liquid.

[0009] Preferably, the outer edge of the pipe body connection end is provided with an external thread, and the inner edge of the pipe cover is provided with an internal thread. The pipe body connection end is threadedly connected to the internal thread of the pipe cover through the external thread.

[0010] The above technical solution, through the design of external and internal threads, facilitates quick connection between the tube body and the tube cap. After urine collection is completed, the tube body and the tube cap can be tightened to prevent urine sample contamination.

[0011] Preferably, the slot, slide, and fixing slot are interconnected, and the card block is adapted to the slot, slide, and fixing slot.

[0012] With the above technical solution, when inserting the flaring component, the locking block is inserted vertically along the slot. Rotating the test tube or the flaring component causes the locking block to slide into the groove and finally lock into the fixing groove. This facilitates quick connection of the flaring component. When collecting urine, the flaring component can be inserted. Its funnel-shaped flaring sleeve can prevent the test tube opening from being too small, which could easily result in urine being collected onto the hands and contaminating the urine, leading to test results that do not match the patient's actual condition and resulting in incorrect treatment.

[0013] Preferably, there are two identical card blocks, slots, slides, and fixing slots, and the two card blocks, slots, slides, and fixing slots are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the test tube.

[0014] The above technical solution achieves a dual locking structure by interconnecting two sets of symmetrically distributed card blocks, slots, slides, and fixing slots, thereby avoiding unidirectional locking, which can easily cause the flared components to fall off, and improving their stability.

[0015] Preferably, a graduated groove is provided at the outer edge of the test tube body, and multiple graduated grooves are provided in a equidistant manner. A limiting groove is provided at the end of the test tube body near the fixing sleeve, and the diameter of the limiting groove is smaller than the diameter of the test tube body.

[0016] The above technical solution, through the design of the graduated groove, allows users to quickly understand the amount of urine collected, making it easier to use and improving its practicality.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a sterile test tube for urine testing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This sterile urine testing tube features a flaring assembly. When the flaring assembly is inserted, the locking block is vertically inserted into the slot. Rotating the tube or flaring assembly causes the locking block to slide into the groove and finally engage in the fixing slot. This allows for quick and easy connection of the flaring assembly. During urine collection, the flaring assembly can be inserted, and its funnel-shaped flaring sleeve prevents urine from being collected too small, thus avoiding the risk of urine getting onto the hand. After collection, the tube can be directly disassembled, minimizing urine contamination and preventing inaccurate test results that could lead to incorrect treatment. Furthermore, the tube can be selected and replaced as needed, increasing its versatility in use. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] Example 1: As Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a sterile test tube for urine testing, including a test tube body 1, a fixing sleeve 2 and a flaring assembly 10. A tube body connecting end 5 is fixedly installed at the end of the test tube body 1 away from the fixing sleeve 2. A tube cap 12 is threadedly connected to the outer edge of the tube body connecting end 5. A slot 7, a sliding groove 8 and a fixing groove 9 are provided on the inner edge of the end of the test tube body 1 away from the fixing sleeve 2. The flaring assembly 10 is inserted and installed on the inner wall of the test tube body 1 away from the fixing sleeve 2.

[0029] The flaring assembly 10 includes a sleeve 1001, a locking block 1002 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sleeve 1001, and a flaring sleeve 1003 is fixedly installed at the end of the sleeve 1001 away from the test tube body 1. The length of the sleeve 1001 is the same as the length of the tube body connection end 5. The cross-section of the sleeve 1001 is a "conical" design, and the cross-section of the flaring sleeve 1003 is a "funnel" shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

[0030] Specifically, a weight 3 is fixedly installed at one end of the test tube body 1 near the fixed sleeve 2. The weight 3 is located on the inner surface of the fixed sleeve 2. The advantage is that, through the design of the weight 3, the weight at the bottom of the test tube body 1 is higher than that at the top. When the entire test tube body 1 is placed on the test tube rack, its center of gravity can be raised, which can prevent the test tube body 1 from easily tipping over, causing it to be damaged or causing the internal test liquid to leak out.

[0031] Specifically, the outer edge of the tube body connecting end 5 is provided with an external thread 6, and the inner edge of the tube cap 12 is provided with an internal thread 13. The tube body connecting end 5 is threadedly connected to the tube cap 12 through the external thread 6 and the internal thread 13. The advantage is that the design of the external thread 6 and the internal thread 13 makes it easy to quickly connect the tube body connecting end 5 and the tube cap 12. After the urine collection is completed, the test tube body 1 and the tube cap 12 can be tightened to prevent urine sample contamination.

[0032] Specifically, slot 7, slide 8, and fixing slot 9 are interconnected, and the locking block 1002 is adapted to slot 7, slide 8, and fixing slot 9. The advantage is that when inserting the flaring component 10, the locking block 1002 is inserted vertically along slot 7, and the test tube body 1 or the flaring component 10 is rotated to make the locking block 1002 slide into slide 8 and finally lock into fixing slot 9. This facilitates quick connection of the flaring component 10. Thus, when collecting urine, the flaring component 10 can be inserted, and its funnel-shaped flaring sleeve 1003 can prevent the test tube body 1 from having a small opening, which would easily cause urine to be collected on the hands and contaminate the urine, leading to test results that do not match the patient's actual condition and resulting in incorrect treatment.

[0033] Example 2: Figure 2-7 As shown, this is an improvement on the previous embodiment.

[0034] Specifically, there are two identical locking blocks 1002, slots 7, slides 8, and fixing slots 9. The two locking blocks 1002, slots 7, slides 8, and fixing slots 9 are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the test tube body 1. The advantage is that the two sets of symmetrically distributed locking blocks 1002, slots 7, slides 8, and fixing slots 9 can communicate with each other to achieve a double locking structure, thereby avoiding unidirectional locking, which can easily cause the flared assembly 10 to fall off, and improving its stability.

[0035] Specifically, a limiting groove 11 is provided at one end of the test tube body 1 near the fixing sleeve 2. The diameter of the limiting groove 11 is smaller than the diameter of the test tube body 1. A graduation groove 4 is provided at the outer edge of the test tube body 1. Multiple graduation grooves 4 are provided and are distributed at equal intervals. The advantage is that the design of the graduation groove 4 makes it easy for users to quickly understand the amount of urine collected when collecting urine, which facilitates better use and improves its practicality.

[0036] Working principle: During use, the design of the weight block 3 ensures that the bottom of the test tube 1 is heavier than the top. When the entire test tube 1 is placed on the test tube rack, its center of gravity is raised, preventing the test tube 1 from easily tipping over, causing damage or leakage of the internal test liquid. When the flaring assembly 10 is inserted, the locking block 1002 is inserted vertically along the slot 7. Rotating the test tube 1 or the flaring assembly 10 causes the locking block 1002 to slide into the slide groove 8 and finally into the fixing groove 9, facilitating quick connection of the flaring assembly 10. During urine collection, the flaring assembly 10 can be inserted, and its funnel-shaped flaring sleeve 1003 prevents the test tube 1 from having a small opening, which could easily result in urine being collected onto the hands and contaminating the urine, leading to inaccurate test results and incorrect treatment. When the flaring assembly 10 is inserted, the locking block 1002 slides vertically along the slot 7. 2. Insert vertically along slot 7, rotate test tube body 1 or flaring assembly 10 to make the locking block 1002 slide into the slide groove 8, and finally lock into the fixing groove 9. This facilitates quick connection of the flaring assembly 10. When collecting urine, the flaring assembly 10 can be inserted, and its funnel-shaped flaring sleeve 1003 can prevent the test tube body 1 from having a small opening, which would easily cause urine to be left on the hands and contaminate the urine, leading to test results that do not match the patient's actual condition and incorrect treatment. Through the interconnection of two sets of symmetrically distributed locking blocks 1002, slot 7, slide groove 8, and fixing groove 9, a double locking structure can be achieved, thereby avoiding one-way locking, which can easily cause the flaring assembly 10 to fall off, and improving its stability. The design of the scale groove 4 makes it easy for users to quickly understand the amount of urine collected, which can facilitate better use and improve its practicality.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
