Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0027] This utility model provides a urine volume measuring toilet bowl, aiming to provide users who need to monitor urine volume with a convenient and accurate device for measuring urine volume. Figures 1-4 As shown, the toilet includes a commode 1, a urine collection bottle 3, a graduated float 9, and a urine collection tube 2. This urine volume measuring commode 1, through the ingenious design of the urine collection bottle 3, graduated float 9, and urine collection tube 2, can effectively and accurately detect urine volume. Specifically, the urine collection bottle 3 is installed on the lower rear side of the commode 1 and connected to the inner cavity of the commode 1 via the urine collection tube 2, ensuring smooth flow of urine into the urine collection bottle 3. The urine collection tube 2 is located on the lower front side of the commode 1, a position that allows urine to flow naturally from the commode 1 into the urine collection bottle 3. The graduated float 9 is designed to be movable, floating up and down according to changes in urine volume, and using buoyancy to rise from the urine collection bottle 3 above the upper part of the commode 1. The exposed portion has clear graduations, allowing the user to intuitively understand the amount of urine by observing the changes in the float's height. This design simplifies urine measurement. Users simply urinate as they would with a regular commode, and urine is automatically collected in the collection bottle 3. The volume is reflected by the movement of a float. Due to the connection between the collection bottle 3 and the commode 1, and the buoyancy of the float, the graduated float 9 rises gradually as urine flows into the collection bottle 3. When a certain volume is reached, the float's rise aligns with the corresponding graduation, allowing users to quickly and accurately read the urine volume. This design significantly reduces the need for manual intervention, avoids the errors and cumbersome measurement steps common in traditional methods, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of urine monitoring. Particularly in clinical treatment and home care, it helps healthcare professionals and patients track changes in their condition in real time and adjust treatment plans accordingly. Furthermore, considering the needs of home care and mobile healthcare, the commode 1 is compatible with conventional toilets; users simply place it inside the toilet and use it directly. This design makes the device highly convenient and versatile, allowing patients to monitor their urine output at home without relying on specialized medical equipment or frequent hospital checkups, thus enabling them to detect abnormalities in a timely manner and prevent the condition from worsening.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a urination port is provided at the lower part of the urine collection bottle 3, and a urination rod 6 is installed at the rear of the toilet bowl 1 to facilitate urine discharge. The urination rod 6 is longitudinally and movably installed on the toilet bowl 1, with its upper part extending out of the toilet bowl 1 and its lower part equipped with a piston 10, which is inserted into the urination port. When the user needs to discharge urine from the urine collection bottle 3, they simply press the urination rod 6 downwards, and the piston 10 will be pushed out, allowing the urine to be automatically discharged through the urination port. This avoids manual operation or the use of additional tools, simplifying the operation process. This structural design facilitates cleaning; after use, the user can easily clean the area of the urination rod 6 and the piston 10, ensuring the long-term effectiveness and hygiene of the device. The combination of the urination port and the urination rod 6 greatly enhances the practicality and user experience of the device, further improving its convenience and efficiency.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the scale float 9 has graduations that gradually increase from top to bottom. This design allows users to clearly see changes in urine volume. As urine accumulates, the scale float 9 gradually rises, and the graduations accurately reflect these changes. When the float rises to different heights, the corresponding graduations help users intuitively read the current urine volume. The gradually increasing graduations are more ergonomic, allowing users to easily observe different graduations, making it suitable for patients requiring precise urine volume monitoring.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the urine collection bottle 3 is provided with a side interface 12, and the urine collection tube 2 is connected to the side interface 12 via a flexible tube, which makes the urine flow smoother and facilitates connection and disassembly. The flexible tube, as the urine collection tube 2, has good flexibility and adaptability, and can be flexibly adjusted in position, making it convenient for users to adjust the usage environment or position of the toilet 1 as needed, avoiding the inconvenience and limitations of traditional rigid pipe connections.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the center of gravity of the graduated float 9 is located at the bottom to ensure that the float remains vertical in the horizontal direction. This design effectively avoids the float tilting and affecting the accuracy of urine volume readings. As urine accumulates, the float floats and rises within the urine collection bottle 3. The bottom-positioned design ensures that the float maintains a stable vertical posture, guaranteeing the clarity and readability of the scale. Thus, when reading the scale on the float, users do not need to worry about the float being tilted or unstable, and can intuitively and accurately understand changes in urine volume.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the urine collection bottle 3 and the toilet bowl 1 are connected by a threaded connection, which makes the connection between the two more secure and provides a stronger seal, effectively preventing leakage or loosening of urine during use. The threaded connection simplifies the installation and removal process of the urine collection bottle 3 and the toilet bowl 1. Users can easily fix the urine collection bottle 3 and the toilet bowl 1 together, and can also quickly disassemble it when cleaning or replacing the urine collection bottle 3. Compared with traditional snap-fit or plug-in connections, the threaded connection provides higher stability and durability, especially suitable for long-term use.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the urination lever 6 is equipped with a spring 8 and a limiting member 7 at its upper part. When the user presses the urination lever 6 to expel urine from the urine collection bottle 3, the spring 8 is compressed. As the urine is expelled, the spring 8 rebounds, bringing the urination lever 6 back to its original position, causing the piston 10 to re-insert into the urination port and automatically closing the urination port. This automatic reset function ensures that the urination port can be quickly and reliably closed after urination. This design not only simplifies the urination process but also avoids the inconvenience of manually closing the urination port, improving the hygiene of the device and the user experience. Through the rebound force of the spring 8, the urination lever 6 can quickly return to its initial state, ensuring that the urine collection and discharge process is more convenient and hygienic.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the urine volume measuring toilet 1 further optimizes user experience and hygiene by employing a collaborative mechanism of a rotating baffle, a urination lever 6, and a pull hook 11. The rotating baffle consists of a support 5 and a rotating plate 4. The rotating plate 4 can rotate freely on the support 5, and its design limits the rise and fall of the scale float 9, preventing the float from rising and poking the user during urination, causing discomfort. The parallel position of the rotating baffle effectively conceals the float inside the toilet bowl, preventing it from interfering with use. After urination, the user presses the urination lever 6, causing the pull hook 11 to rotate the rotating baffle to an inclined position, releasing the float. The float then pops out, allowing the user to accurately read the urine volume. This design not only effectively prevents the float from interfering with the user during use but also avoids hygiene problems, as the float remains in a safe position and is only released after the urine has been completely emptied.
[0035] Furthermore, the dual-stroke design of the urination lever 6 allows for precise control of the piston 10's length and the urination process. The first stroke rotates the rotating plate 4, ensuring the smooth release of the scale float 9; the second stroke is used for the actual urination operation, during which the piston 10 is pushed to expel urine. This design perfectly matches the length of the piston 10 with the tilt angle of the rotating baffle, ensuring smooth operation of each step, avoiding unnecessary operational interference or misoperation, and further enhancing the equipment's functionality and safety.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the commode 1 is designed to slope from the side where the urine collection bottle 3 is installed towards the side connected to the urine collection pipe 2. This design ensures that urine flows smoothly and quickly into the urine collection bottle 3, preventing urine accumulation or stagnation within the commode 1. This sloped design allows urine to flow naturally towards the urine collection pipe 2 during urination due to gravity, reducing any resistance or risk of blockage and improving the efficiency and accuracy of urine collection. By optimizing the slope angle at the bottom, the connection between the urine collection bottle 3 and the commode 1 is more stable, ensuring that urine is quickly and accurately guided into the urine collection bottle 3 with each urination. Simultaneously, the sloped design also helps reduce urine residue, improves the hygiene of the device, and makes cleaning after each use simpler and more efficient.
[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
