Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a graduated spittoon cup. Background Technology

[0002] Pulmonary tuberculosis is a common infectious disease of the respiratory tract. Proper management of sputum from tuberculosis patients is crucial for preventing and controlling its spread. The sputum of tuberculosis patients contains Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Improper sputum handling can allow this bacteria to spread through the air, increasing the risk of tuberculosis infection in healthy individuals.

[0003] Therefore, even after being discharged from the hospital, patients with pulmonary tuberculosis still need to have their sputum disinfected during home treatment to prevent the spread of germs to others. Generally, in the hospital, medical staff will provide patients with a prepared chlorine disinfectant solution, which is placed in a sputum cup. Patients will then spit their sputum into the sputum cup for disinfection.

[0004] Even after a patient is discharged from the hospital, their sputum still needs to be properly disposed of. However, patients often find it inconvenient to prepare disinfectant solutions or cannot prepare disinfectant solutions of appropriate concentrations, making it impossible to disinfect the sputum. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a graduated spittoon cup to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A graduated spittoon cup, comprising:

[0008] The cup body has an open top.

[0009] A cup lid, wherein the cup lid is adapted to the opening structure of the cup body, and the cup lid is fitted onto the rim of the cup body;

[0010] A handle, which is fixedly connected to one side of the cup body;

[0011] The viewing window is made of transparent material. A strip-shaped through hole is provided along the radial direction of the side wall of the cup body, and the shape of the viewing window is adapted to the shape of the through hole. The viewing window is fixedly connected to the through hole.

[0012] The scale lines are located on the outer wall of the cup body and are situated on both sides of the viewing window; the retaining ring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cup body and is used to hold the measuring spoon.

[0013] Optionally, the bottom of the side wall of the cup lid extends downward to form an annular collar, which is adapted to the outer diameter of the cup opening.

[0014] Optionally, two windows are provided, and the two windows are set at a 180° angle to each other on the outer side wall of the cup body.

[0015] Optionally, the inner wall of the cup body is also provided with scale lines, and the scale lines inside the cup body are staggered with the scale lines on the outer wall of the cup body.

[0016] Optionally, the cup body is made of stainless steel.

[0017] Optionally, the window is made of plastic or glass.

[0018] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This invention features a cup body and a lid. The side wall of the cup body has graduated lines, and there is a transparent window on the cup body. Patients can observe the liquid level and volume inside the cup through the window. Then, they can use a measuring spoon on the side wall of the cup body to measure an appropriate amount of chlorine disinfectant powder, add it to the cup body, and stir it evenly. This allows patients to prepare a disinfectant solution of appropriate concentration themselves. They can then spit sputum into the cup body to complete the disinfection. At the same time, the lid can seal the cup body and can also be used as a cover when coughing or sneezing. Attached Figure Description

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a graduated spittoon cup, comprising:

[0030] Cup body 1, wherein the cup body 1 has a structure with an open top;

[0031] The cup lid 2 is adapted to the opening structure of the cup body 1, and the cup lid 2 is sleeved on the mouth of the cup body 1;

[0032] Handle 3, the handle 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the cup body 1;

[0033] Window 4 is made of transparent material. A strip-shaped through hole is provided in the radial direction of the side wall of the cup body 1. The shape of the window 4 is adapted to the shape of the through hole. The window 4 is fixedly connected in the through hole.

[0034] The scale line 5 is set on the outer wall of the cup body 1 and is located on both sides of the viewing window 4;

[0035] A retaining ring 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cup body 1 and is used to hold a measuring spoon 7.

[0036] The aforementioned cup body 1 is made of stainless steel, and its volume is set to 500mL-1L depending on the needs. Patients can add an appropriate amount of disinfectant solution inside the cup body 1 as needed.

[0037] The lid 2 is also made of stainless steel. The lid 2 can be fitted onto the mouth of the cup body 1. The periphery of the lid 2 can extend downward to form a ring. The ring can be fitted onto the mouth of the cup body 1. The thickness of the ring can be made slightly thinner to have a certain degree of elasticity. The ring is set at a certain angle so that it can be easily fitted onto the cup body 1.

[0038] The handle 3 allows patients to easily lift the cup and keep it at eye level to observe the liquid level in the cup 1 and the scale markings, thus ensuring that the concentration of the disinfectant meets the disinfection requirements. At the same time, patients can also lift the cup 1 to their mouth to cough or spit, preventing the spread of germs into the air with saliva.

[0039] The aforementioned viewing window 4 is made of transparent glass or plastic. The plastic material is made of corrosion-resistant plastic, or other corrosion-resistant transparent materials can be used, depending on the specific needs. The transparency of the viewing window 4 allows the liquid level inside the cup 1 to be clearly seen, making it convenient for the patient to observe the liquid volume inside the cup 1 by referring to the scale line 5, and then use the measuring spoon 7 to measure an appropriate amount of chlorine disinfectant powder for mixing.

[0040] The bottom sidewall of the cup lid 2 extends downward to form an annular collar, which is adapted to the outer diameter of the cup mouth of the cup body 1.

[0041] Two viewing windows 4 are provided, positioned at a 180° angle to each other on the outer side wall of the cup body 1. This facilitates patient observation.

[0042] The aforementioned viewing window 4 is located on the side wall of the non-transparent cup body 1, making it convenient to observe the liquid level inside the cup body 1.

[0043] The inner wall of the cup body 1 is also provided with scale lines 5, and the scale lines 5 inside the cup body 1 and the scale lines 5 on the outer wall of the cup body 1 are arranged alternately.

[0044] The scale line 5 on the inner wall of the cup body 1 can be set at a 90° angle with the scale line 5 on the outer wall of the cup body 1. Patients can observe the liquid level inside the cup body 1 from different angles, so as to more accurately judge the liquid level and add an appropriate amount of chlorine disinfectant powder according to the liquid level.

[0045] It allows for easy observation of the liquid level from different directions.

[0046] The above specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0047] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] The present invention has been described in a relatively specific and detailed manner above through general description and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without departing from the concept of the present invention, various modifications and improvements can be made to these specific embodiments, all of which fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
