[0065] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0066] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The urine collector 100 of this application includes a main body 1, a first connector 2, a second connector 3, a ring 4, a check membrane 5, a filter screen 6, and two electrodes 7.

[0067] The main body 1 is generally hollow and tubular, comprising a head section 11, a connecting section 12, a tail section 13, a receiving space 14, two protrusions 15, a first abutment surface 16, and a second abutment surface 17. The head section 11 and the tail section 13 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the connecting section 12, and the receiving space 14 is defined by the head section 11, the connecting section 12, and the tail section 13. The head section 11 has a circumferential surface 111 facing away from the receiving space 14. The connecting section 12 has a plurality of protruding rings 121 and a plurality of concave rings 122 arranged alternately with each other. The connecting section 12 can be formed of a soft plastic material, and by bringing any two adjacent protruding rings 121 close to each other, the connecting section 12 can be bent freely, thus having a degree of freedom. The two protrusions 15 extend outward from the main body 11 at intervals, face the receiving space 14, and are located at the tail section 13. The first abutment surface 16 and the second abutment surface 17 generally have annular cross sections and are located at intervals within the tail section 13 and the accommodating space 14. In this embodiment, the diameter of the annular cross section of the first abutment surface 16 is larger than the diameter of the annular cross section of the second abutment surface 17, and the second abutment surface 17 is closer to the connecting section 12 than the first abutment surface 16.

[0068] The first connector 2 is connected to the tail section 13 of the main body 1 and includes a ring 21, a cone 22, a tube 23, a groove 24, a channel 25, two recesses 26, and two mounting holes 27. The ring 21 is housed within the receiving space 14. The cone 22 extends outward from one side of the ring 21 and tapers, partially exposed outside the main body 1. The tube 23 extends outward from the cone 22 and is located outside the main body 1. The groove 24 is defined by the ring 21 and the cone 22 and is generally conical, meaning the groove 24 tapers from the ring 21 towards the cone 22 and faces and communicates with the receiving space 14. The channel 25 is defined by the tube 23 and communicates with the groove 24. Two recesses 26 are formed from the outer peripheral surface of the ring 21 and are spaced apart from each other. They are respectively snapped into the two protrusions 15 of the main body 1, so that the first connector 2 is fixed to the tail end 13 of the main body 1, and the ring 21 abuts against the first abutment surface 16. Two mounting holes 27 are formed through the cone 22 and spaced apart from the channel 25, and are located on opposite sides of the channel 25.

[0069] The second connector 3 is obliquely disposed on the circumferential surface 111 of the head section 11 of the main body 1 and is connected to the accommodating space 14.

[0070] The ring portion 4 is fitted onto the circumferential surface 111 of the head section 11 of the main body portion 1, and includes a body 41, a receiving groove 42, multiple holes 43, a tapered body 44, a retaining ring 45, and multiple grooves 46. The body 41 is generally a hollow annular body. The receiving groove 42 is formed in the body 41 and is used to receive the second connector 3. The second connector 3 is confined in the receiving groove 42, so that the ring portion 4 does not rotate relative to the main body portion 1. Multiple holes 43 are formed around the body 41 at intervals and partially exposed on the head section 11 of the main body portion 1. The tapered body 44 extends from one end of the body 41 inwards towards the interior of the body 41, and the retaining ring 45 extends from one end of the body 41 outwards. That is, the extending directions of the retaining ring 45 and the tapered body 44 are opposite to each other. Multiple grooves 46 are spaced apart from each other and formed around the inner side or circumferential surface 111 of the body 41. Together with multiple holes 43, they can provide an airflow path between the body part 1 and the head section 11, making it easier for the ring part 4 to be provided in the head section 11 of the body part 1.

[0071] The check valve 5 is made of silicone and, before being stretched, is roughly a sleeve with corresponding holes 51 and openings 52. After the check valve 5 is stretched, the opening 52 is fitted onto one end of the body 41 and covers the retaining ring 45, so that the check valve 5 is limited by the retaining ring 45, and the holes 51 correspond to the center of the tapered body 44 and communicate with the receiving space 14.

[0072] The filter screen 6 includes a connected mesh portion 61 and an abutment portion 62. The mesh portion 61 is generally cylindrical and is housed in the receiving space 14 to filter impurities such as hair. The abutment portion 62 extends outward from one end of the mesh portion 62 and is sandwiched between the second abutment surface 17 of the main body portion 1 and the ring body 21 of the first connector 2.

[0073] The two electrodes 7 are respectively disposed in the two mounting holes 27 and exposed in the groove 24. In this embodiment, the electrodes 7 are cross-shaped copper needles, but this application is not limited thereto.

[0074] The urine collector 100 of this application is used as follows: The urine collector 100 is installed on the user's urinary organ, for example, the male urinary organ passes through the hole 51 of the check membrane 5, and a fastener such as a rope can be used to prevent the urine collector 100 from falling off the urinary organ. The urine collector 100 of this application is used to connect to a urine collection device. The first connector 2 can be connected to the urine collection tank of the urine collection device via a sleeve, and the urine in the receiving space 14 of the main body 1 and the groove 24 of the first connector 2 is transported to the urine collection tank by the negative pressure generated by the urine collection tank. The second connector 3 can be connected to the clean water supply tank of the urine collection device via a sleeve, and clean (warm) water can be transported to the receiving space 14 of the main body 1 via the second connector 3 by a pump to clean the user's urinary organ. The two electrodes 7 can be connected to the circuit module of the urine collection device. When a user leaks urine and the urine accumulates in the groove 24 of the first connector 2, and the two electrodes 7 are connected, the urine collection device can activate the solenoid valve. This allows the urine to be transported from the accommodating space 14 of the main body 1 and the groove 24 of the first connector 2 to the urine collection tank via the passage between the first connector 2 and the urine collection device, and then via the negative pressure generated by the urine collection tank. When the solenoid valve is activated, the pump can also be activated simultaneously to transport clean (warm) water through the second connector 3 to the accommodating space 14 of the main body 1 to clean the user's urinary organs. Afterwards, the water that has been used to clean the urinary organs can be guided back to the urine collection tank of the urine collection device via the aforementioned urine collection path through the negative pressure.

[0075] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In another embodiment of this application, the urine collector 100 may further include a cover 8. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment lies only in the cover 8. The following description will only focus on the cover 8, and the other identical technical contents will not be repeated here.

[0076] The cover 8 is used to pass through and seal the hole 51, and includes a base 81, a plurality of rhombuses 82, a sleeve 83, and a pipe 84. The plurality of rhombuses 82 are connected to each other, with the leftmost rhombus 82 located at one end of the base 81. The sleeve 83 connects to the rightmost of the plurality of rhombuses 82. The pipe 84 is formed through the base 81, the plurality of rhombuses 82, and the sleeve 83.

[0077] The cover 8 can be installed on a woman's urinary organ, passing through the hole 51 of the check membrane 5 until the sleeve 83 is located inside the main body 1. The check membrane 5 roughly corresponds to a plurality of rhomboid bodies 82, while the seat 81 is located on the outside of the main body 1. The check membrane 5 is confined between any two adjacent rhomboid bodies 82 through the hole 51, and the tube 84 connects to the receiving space 14. The user can determine the corresponding position of the seat 81 on the urinary organ by adjusting the position of the check membrane 5 on the plurality of rhomboid bodies 82.

[0078] In summary, the urine collector of this application has two connectors to simultaneously provide urine collection and water cleaning functions, and the check diaphragm is detachably fitted onto one end of the main body. In addition to providing a sealing function, the check diaphragm can also be replaced as a consumable, making the urine collector of this application not only hygienic and reliable but also cost-effective, thus facilitating household use.

[0079] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can modify the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be as set forth in the claims.
