Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of urine collection assistance, and more particularly to the field of urine specimen collection devices, specifically referring to an inductive routine urine collection device. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical laboratory testing, urine tests are required for all inpatients and most outpatients. Urinalysis is a convenient, rapid, economical, and efficient testing method, one of the "three routine tests" in medical laboratory testing (blood routine, urine routine, and stool routine). Urinalysis is a commonly used clinical test, providing important reference value for the diagnosis of certain diseases. It also helps reflect the health of the kidneys, blood sugar levels, etc., and is widely used clinically for diagnosis and monitoring of treatment efficacy, such as for urinary tract stones, inflammation, tumors, and before and after kidney transplantation; as well as for the diagnosis and treatment of other multi-system diseases such as hepatitis, diabetes, and pancreatitis; for monitoring drug safety, such as observing the toxic side effects of sulfonamides and gentamicin; for auxiliary diagnosis of occupational diseases, such as the analysis of heavy metal poisoning by mercury and lead; and for health status assessment, all of which have significant clinical importance. A urine sample collection device, also called a urine sample collection container, urine sample container, or urine cup, is usually held by the person being tested and used to collect urine themselves. When patients use collection cups to collect urine, urine can easily spill out of the cup, contaminating the patient's hands and the surrounding environment. Furthermore, routine urinalysis should collect urine from the middle of the stream; some people are unaware of this "segment" and collect the sample as soon as they begin urinating. However, the first segment of urine often contains bacteria and proteins, and testing this sample will not accurately reflect the body's health status. The correct method is to collect midstream urine (after urinating slightly). Midstream urine avoids contamination from bacteria, vaginal discharge, and other impurities, which can interfere with test results. The correct way to collect midstream urine is to wait approximately 2 seconds after urinating before collecting the sample. Typically, only 30-50 ml of urine is needed; the container does not need to be completely filled. Patients often do not collect samples correctly. To address these issues, an automated, sensor-based routine urinalysis collection device has been designed. Utility Model Content

The upper part of the liquid storage chamber 10 is directly connected to the disposable inner liner 7. The solenoid valve chamber 9 and the disposable urine cup are... Both the compartment 3 and the battery compartment 8 are located on the front side of the bottom of the outer shell body 14. The disposable urine cup compartment 3 is located below the solenoid valve compartment 9, and the battery compartment 8 is located below the solenoid valve compartment 9 and on the rear side of the disposable urine cup compartment 3. The top of the disposable urine cup compartment 3 has a first discharge port 12, and the bottom of the disposable urine cup compartment 3 has a second discharge port 13. The disposable urine cup compartment 3 is connected to the disposable inner liner 7 through the first discharge port 12 and to the disposable urine cup compartment 3 through the second discharge port 13. The first discharge port 12 can be opened or closed.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the system further includes a first liquid level sensor 4 and a second liquid level sensor 5. Both the first liquid level sensor 4 and the second liquid level sensor 5 are disposed in the battery compartment 8. The first liquid level sensor 4 is located on the side closer to the liquid storage compartment 10, and the second liquid level sensor 5 is located on the side closer to the disposable urine cup compartment 3. The side wall of the liquid storage compartment 10 has a liquid level sensor sensing port that corresponds to the height of the first liquid level sensor 4, and the side wall of the disposable urine cup compartment 3 has a liquid level sensor sensing port that corresponds to the height of the second liquid level sensor 5.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side wall of the liquid storage compartment 10 has a 20ml liquid level marking line, and the side wall of the disposable urine cup compartment 3 has a 40ml liquid level marking line.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a solenoid valve 1 is installed in the solenoid valve chamber 9, with the inlet of the solenoid valve 1 aligned with the first liquid outlet 12 and the outlet of the solenoid valve 1 aligned with the second liquid outlet 13.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a disposable urine cup 2 is placed in the disposable urine cup compartment 3, and the opening of the disposable urine cup 2 is located below the second liquid outlet 13 of the solenoid valve compartment 9.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the disposable liner includes an inlet and a liner handle. The inlet is located at the front end of the disposable liner and above the solenoid valve chamber, and the liner handle is located at the front end of the inlet.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the opening shape of the disposable inner liner 7 is circular or elliptical, the edge adopts a smoothly transitioned arc structure, the opening direction is inclined forward, the outer perimeter of the disposable inner liner 7 is provided with a splash-proof edge, the inner wall of the disposable inner liner 7 is provided with a flow guide groove, which gradually narrows towards the liquid storage tank 10, and the surface of the flow guide groove is coated with a hydrophobic coating.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer shell body 14 further includes a handle 15, which is located at the rear end of the top of the outer shell body 14. The handle 15 is semi-circular in shape, with both ends fixed to the two sides of the top of the outer shell body 14, and the middle is suspended to form a gripping space.

[0046] In a specific embodiment of this invention, this patent employs multiple sensing devices to automatically sort out the middle segment of a urine sample. It can remove approximately 20 ml of the initial urine sample, collecting only the middle segment, thus accurately collecting routine urinalysis specimens and providing valuable reference for the diagnosis of some diseases. This device enables automated urine collection, specifically targeting the middle segment of the urine.

[0047] The disposable liner completely seals off the inside of the equipment, acting like an inner tank. The liquid storage compartment is part of the internal storage space and is the main area for storing urine, or the area is specifically designed for storing urine.

[0048] Urine flows in through the inlet. At this time, the solenoid valve (i.e., the normally closed solenoid valve) is closed, so the initial urine can flow directly into the bottom of the cup. There is a first liquid level detection sensor at the bottom of the cup. When the liquid level reaches 20mL, it sends a signal to open the solenoid valve. At this time, the urine will flow into the disposable urine cup through the solenoid valve. There is also a second liquid level sensor next to the disposable urine cup. When the liquid level reaches 40mL, it sends a signal to the solenoid valve again. At this time, the solenoid valve closes, and the urine will continue to flow into the urine cup. In this way, the middle 40mL of urine is successfully sampled.

[0049] The device of this invention is a miniature toilet-shaped device with multiple liquid level sensors and a one-way valve embedded inside. The outflowing urine sample is collected in a disposable urine cup to prevent secondary contamination.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, ① indicates that the first liquid level sensor (liquid level sensor error is less than 5mL) determines whether the corresponding liquid level mark line has been reached. If it has been reached, a signal is sent to the solenoid valve switch. The solenoid valve switch is a normally closed switch and opens after receiving the signal. ② indicates that after the power switch is turned off, the solenoid switch enters the reset mode. Because it is a normally closed switch, it enters the closed state.

[0051] The main working process of this device is as follows: In the initial stage, solenoid valve A is closed, and urine flows directly into the bottom of the storage tank; when the liquid level in the storage tank reaches 20mL, the liquid level detection sensor triggers solenoid valve A to open, and urine flows into the disposable urine cup; when the liquid level in the disposable urine cup reaches 40mL, the liquid level sensor C triggers solenoid valve A to close, completing the mid-stage urine collection.
