The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and particularly provides a urine collecting device.

Background

Urine examination is one of the important means for checking the health of the urinary system and other systems of the human body. Currently, when a patient performs a urine test, the patient often self-picks up urine and then gives the urine to a urine clinical laboratory in a hospital for testing. Specifically, after the patient collects urine through the open urine cup, the urine in the urine cup is automatically guided into a test tube for containing the urine, then a small sealing cap at the mouth of the test tube is screwed, and the urine is delivered to a clinical laboratory, so that the clinical laboratory detects the urine.

In this process we have found that the patient has a relatively complex procedure of taking urine, both urinating and taking it up with a urine cup, holding the tube, unscrewing the small cap of the tube orifice, pouring the urine from the cup into the tube, closing the orifice, and this complex procedure makes the patient extremely unwieldy, particularly prone to spillage of urine or the possibility of urine getting onto the hand or clothing. Unhygienic and also can affect the quality of urine specimens. Meanwhile, the process of taking urine is complex, so that the urine cup is particularly easy to be left at any position of the toilet by a patient, and pollution is caused.

The specific meaning of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood by those skilled in the art according to the specific circumstances.

In a first embodiment of the utility model:

as shown in fig. 1, the urine collection device comprises a funnel 1, a urine storage container 2, a cap 3, a vent needle 4 and an optional pull cord 5. Wherein the funnel 1 is used for collecting urine and guiding the collected urine into the urine storage container 2. The lid 3 is used to close the urine storage container 2. The air-discharging needle 4 is used to pierce the lid 3 and discharge the air in the urine storage container 2. The pull cord 5 is used to pull the vent needle 4 out of the cap 3.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the funnel 1 comprises a funnel portion 11 and a hollow needle portion 12, the needle portion 12 being arranged at the bottom side of the funnel portion 11 and being in communication with the needle portion 12, the needle portion 12 being adapted to pierce the cap 3. The bottom end of the funnel 11 is provided with a bead 111 so that the funnel 11 abuts against the lid 3 via the bead 111.

Preferably, the ribs 111 are plural, and the plural ribs 111 are spaced around the needle 12.

Furthermore, the skilled person can also arrange the ribs 111 in any other feasible number and shape, for example arranging the ribs 111 as a ring with indentations, as desired.

To ensure that the needle 12 can pierce the cap 3, the needle 12 is preferably made of a hard material, such as PVC pipe, metal pipe, plastic steel pipe, etc. having a certain thickness. Alternatively, the needle 12 may be provided in the same form as a stopper piercer (for piercing a stopper on an infusion bottle or an infusion bag) in an existing infusion tube, as desired by those skilled in the art.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the urine storage container 2 is a tubular container. Further, the urine storage container 2 may be provided as a spherical container, a quadrangular columnar container, a hexagonal columnar container, or the like as necessary by those skilled in the art.

In the first embodiment of the present utility model, the urine storage container 2 is made of transparent material such as glass, plastic, etc. so as to observe the urine storage amount in the urine storage container 2. And, the volume of the urine storage container 2 is preferably not less than 20ml.

In the first embodiment of the present utility model, the material of the cover 3 is an elastic material. Specifically, the cover 3 is a stopper made of rubber or silica gel so that the cover 3 can be quickly attached to the urine storage container 2 and detached from the urine storage container 2. Illustratively, the cap 3 may be provided in the same form as a stopper on an existing infusion bottle, bag or vial

As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the cap 3, which is made of an elastic material, ensures that it automatically closes the openings through which the needle 12 and the vent needle 4 pierce when the needle 12 and the vent needle 4 are withdrawn, thereby preventing urine from spilling in the urine storage container 2.

As shown in fig. 2, the tip of the vent needle 4 is provided with a flange 41 extending in the radial direction thereof. The cable 5 includes a pull ring 51, and the pull ring 51 is fitted over the vent needle 4 and abuts the flange 41 in the axial direction so that the vent needle 4 is pulled out of the cap 3 by the cable 5.

In the first embodiment of the present utility model, the stay 5 may be made of any feasible material such as nylon rope, plastic sheet, metal chain, etc.

As shown in fig. 3 to 6, in the assembled state of the urine collecting device, the needle 12 of the funnel 1 pierces the cap 3 and is inserted into the urine storage container 2. The pull ring 51 of the pull cable 5 is sleeved on the exhaust needle 4. The air-vent needle 4 pierces the lid 3 and is inserted into the urine storage container 2.

Preferably, the thickness of the flange 41 and the pull ring 51 is smaller than the height of the bead 111, so that air in the urine storage container 2 can flow out from the vent needle 4 and the gap formed between the funnel 11 and the lid 3.

The method of assembling the urine collection device and the principle of operation will now be described in detail with reference to figures 1, 5 and 6.

The lid 3 is first mounted on the urine storage container 2 to close the urine storage container 2. Then, the pull ring 51 of the pull cable 5 is sleeved on the exhaust needle 4. The venting needle 4 is then caused to pierce the cap 3 and the flange 41 of the venting needle 4 is caused to press the tab 51 against the cap 3. Finally, the needle-shaped portion 12 of the funnel 1 is made to pierce the cap 3 and the bead 111 of the funnel 1 is made to abut against the cap 3, while ensuring that the bead 111 does not press against the venting needle 4.

Preferably, the operator pushes his finger against the inner bottom surface of the funnel 11 during the process of piercing the needle 12 through the cap 3, to prevent deformation of the funnel 11. Alternatively, the person skilled in the art may, if desired, provide the funnel portion 11 with a sufficiently strong, for example with a sufficient wall thickness of the funnel portion 11. The operator then can also cause the needle 12 to pierce the cap 3 by pressing on the funnel 11 elsewhere.

When collecting urine, the patient discharges urine into the funnel 1, urine in the funnel 1 enters the urine storage container 2 from the needle 12, and thus air in the urine storage container 2 is forced to be discharged from the air discharge needle 4 until the urine in the funnel 1 completely enters the urine storage container 2. The patient then pulls the funnel 1 out of the cap 3 and pulls the vent needle 4 out of the cap 3 via the pull cord 5.

After the needle 12 and the vent needle 4 are pulled out from the cap 3, the cap 3 automatically closes the hole pierced by the needle 12 and the vent needle 4 by its own elastic force, thereby preventing urine from being spilled from the urine storage container 2 and preventing urine in the urine storage container 2 from being contacted with air.

Further, in order to prevent the cap 3 from being inserted by the needle 12 and the vent needle 4 for a long time, the hole pierced by the needle 12 and the vent needle 4 cannot be closed by itself, the operation of piercing the cap 3 by the needle 12 of the funnel 1 and the operation of piercing the cap 3 by the vent needle 4 can be performed by the patient himself.

Therefore, the urine collecting device in the first embodiment of the utility model is convenient for the patient to collect urine, and the urine collecting process of the patient is simpler and has higher friendliness to the patient.

Based on the foregoing, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in the first embodiment of the present utility model, by configuring the funnel 1 with the needle 12 such that the funnel 1 can pierce the lid 3 through its needle 12, urine within the funnel 1 is introduced into the urine storage container 2. The cap 3 made of an elastic material also ensures that it automatically closes the opening in which the needle 12 is pierced when the needle 12 is pulled out, thereby preventing urine in the urine storage container 2 from spilling.

Further alternatively, by piercing the lid 3 with the air-release needle 4, the air in the urine container 2 can flow out through the air-release needle 4 and the gap formed between the funnel portion 11 and the lid 3, thereby making the air pressures on both sides inside and outside the urine container 2 uniform, ensuring that the urine in the funnel 1 is not affected by the air pressure, and can smoothly flow into the urine container 2. Further, by providing the stay 5 connected to the air discharging needle 4, the patient can pull out the air discharging needle 4 from the cover 3 through the stay 5.

In a second embodiment of the utility model:

as shown in fig. 7, unlike the first embodiment described above, the inner surface of the funnel portion 11 is provided as an inwardly concave arc-shaped tapered surface. Specifically, the funnel 11 is provided in a bowl shape such that the inner surface of the funnel 11 is an arc cone surface which is concave inward.

As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, by providing the inner surface of the funnel 11 as a concave arcuate taper, the splashing phenomenon when urine impinges on the inner surface of the funnel 11 is weakened.

In a third embodiment of the utility model:

as shown in fig. 8 and 9, unlike any of the previous embodiments, the side wall of the needle 12 is provided with a vent groove 121 extending in the axial direction thereof. Further, the air discharge groove 121 extends to above the bottom surface of the bead 111 in a direction approaching the funnel 11 to ensure that the air discharge groove 121 can communicate with a gap formed between the funnel 11 and the cover 3.

Preferably, the vent groove 121 extends from the tip end of the needle 12 to the bottom surface of the needle 12.

As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, in a state where the needle-shaped portion 12 is inserted into the urine storage container 2, the air discharge groove 121 has a portion located in the urine storage container 2 and a portion located between the funnel portion 11 and the cover 3, so that the air discharge groove 121 communicates the inner space of the urine storage container 2 with the gap formed between the funnel portion 11 and the cover 3, thereby discharging air in the urine storage container 2 from the air discharge groove 121.

It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that since the air discharge groove 121 can discharge air in the urine storage container 2, those skilled in the art can omit the air discharge needle 4 and the pull cord 5 as needed, thereby making the assembly and disassembly of the urine collecting device of the present embodiment more convenient.

In addition, the person skilled in the art can omit the vent needle 4, the pull cord 5 and the ribs 111 in the first and second embodiments as required, but this will reduce the rate of urine flow in the funnel 1 to the urine storage container 2.

Thus far, the technical solution of the present utility model has been described in connection with the foregoing embodiments, but it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present utility model is not limited to only these specific embodiments. The technical solutions in the above embodiments can be split and combined by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and equivalent changes or substitutions can be made to related technical features, so any changes, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the technical principles and/or technical concepts of the present utility model will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
