Description

Urine collection container Technical field

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a urine collection container used for urinalysis performed in hospitals, testing laboratories, and the like. Background art

Generally, many urine tests are performed in hospitals and test centers.

Conventionally, the urine collection container used for this urine test has been internationally published WO 95/093.

As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 62, a cylindrical container main body having a urine collection port formed therein, a cap detachable at an open end of the container main body, and the container main body can be freely inserted and removed. And a cover cylinder formed as described above.

Further, as disclosed in the above-mentioned W0955 / 093662, another urine collection container has a cylindrical container main body and a detachable with respect to an open end of the container main body. And a cap formed with a urine collection port, and a cover cylinder formed so that the container body can be inserted and extracted freely.

In these urine collection containers, at the time of urine collection, a cap is attached to the open end of the container body, and the subject holds the cap with the container body facing downward. Then, the urine is applied to the urine collection port, whereby the urine is collected from the urine collection port into the container body. After urine collection, the container body is inserted into the force bar cylinder with the closed end side of the container body facing downward, and the force bar cylinder closes the urine collection port. Problem to be solved-The urine collection container described above is inserted into a container stand or the like and transported to an examination room or the like in a state where the urine collection port is closed by a force bar cylinder. However, the conventional urine collection container has a problem that urinalysis in a laboratory is extremely complicated. Specifically, as one of the urine tests using the urine collection container, there is a method in which the cap is removed while the container main body is inserted in the cover tube, and a reagent or the like is inserted from the open end of the container main body. In addition, there is a method in which the cover cylinder is withdrawn while the cap is attached to the container main body, and a urine test is performed by inserting a reagent or the like from a urine collection port of the container main body.

However, since the conventional urine collection container does not include a weighing means, the urine is collected up to the urine collection port of the cap, and there has been a problem that it is difficult to process excess urine. In other words, only the container body is installed in the inspection device, but urine may be collected more than this container body, and there is a problem that it takes time to install the container body in the inspection device.

In particular, when inserting the container body or the like into the cover cylinder after collecting urine, if the amount of urine collected is large, urine of the container body may droop from the opening edge of the cover cylinder to the outside of the force bar cylinder. Therefore, there was a possibility that the hands, etc. were stained.

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to ensure that urine collection required for an examination can be performed. Disclosure of the invention

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an elongate cylindrical storage tube for storing urine having one end closed and the other end formed at an open end, and one end formed at a closed end and the other end formed of the storage tube. Open The end is formed at the open end where attachment and detachment can be freely performed, and a urine collection port is formed on the side surface, and an elongated cylindrical urine collection tube for collecting urine, one end is closed, and the other end is opened. It is formed in a slender cylindrical shape, and has a diameter slightly larger than that of the urine collection tube so that the urine collection tube can be freely inserted and extracted, and a cover tube for covering the urine collection port. And from the urine-collecting port to the closed end of the urine-collecting cylinder, a weighing unit for storing and weighing a predetermined amount of urine is formed.

Further, the second invention according to the first invention is configured such that a cap for closing an opening end of the storage cylinder is provided in a state where the storage cylinder and the urine collection cylinder are separated.

In a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect, a connecting means for detachably connecting the urine collection tube and the cover tube is provided.

Further, in a fourth invention based on the third invention, the connecting means is an outer periphery of a urine collection cylinder. A projection is formed on the inner surface of the cover tube, and a concave portion is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cover tube and fits into the projection when the urine collection tube is inserted into the cover tube.

In a fifth aspect based on the first aspect, the storage cylinder is provided with a urine collection scale indicating the amount of urine collected.

In a sixth aspect based on the first aspect, the storage tube, the urine collection tube, and the cover tube are sterilized.

In a seventh aspect based on the first aspect, a belt-shaped projection is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the urine collection cylinder in proximity to the urine collection port.

—Action—

That is, in the present invention, first, at the time of urine collection, the opening end of the storage cylinder is attached to the urine collection cylinder, and the urine collection is assembled.

In this assembled state, the subject grips the storage tube with the urine collection tube facing downward. Then, the subject applies the urine to the urine collection port, so that the urine flows from the urine collection port into the urine collection tube, accumulates in the measuring section, and the collection of urine is completed. During this urine collection, when a predetermined amount of urine, for example, 10 mA (milliliter) is injected into the measuring section, it leaks out of the urine collection tube through the urine collection port, so that the required amount for urine test is reliably collected. However, no excess urine is collected.

When the collection of urine is completed, the urine collection container is transported to an examination room or the like. There are two modes of transport at that time.

In one mode, the urine collection tube is inserted into the cover tube while facing downward. As a result, the urine collection tube, which is a dirty part, is covered. At this time, for example, when a urine collection tube is inserted into the cover tube, the urine collection port is closed by the cover tube, and when the insertion is completed, the projection of the urine collection tube and the recess of the cover tube are fitted.

Subsequently, the urine collection container is turned upside down, and inserted into a container stand or the like with the storage cylinder facing downward, and transported to an examination room or the like. At this time, when the urine collection tube is turned upside down, urine collected by the measuring section flows into the storage tube, and the urine is stored in the storage tube.

Thereafter, in the examination room or the like, the storage tube is removed from the urine collection tube and the single cover tube. At this time, the cover cylinder is connected to the urine collection cylinder by connecting means At the same time, it comes off the storage cylinder. Specifically, the projection and the recess fit into each other, the urine collection tube and the cover tube come off from the storage tube at the same time, and only the storage tube in which the urine is stored is set in the inspection device.

On the other hand, another mode of the above-mentioned transport state is a mode in which a cap is taken in a storage cylinder and transported. At this time, when the urine collection is completed, the urine collection tube is inserted into the force bar tube with the urine collection tube facing downward. When a urine collection tube is inserted into this cover tube, the urine collection port is closed by the cover tube and the projection and the recess engage.

Thereafter, when the urine collection tube is turned upside down, urine collected by the measuring section flows into the storage tube, and the urine is stored in the storage tube. In this state, when the cover tube is pulled from the storage tube, the cover tube is simultaneously detached from the storage tube while the cover tube is connected to the urine collection tube. Then, only the storage cylinder in which the urine is stored is sealed with a cap attached to the open end of the storage cylinder, and is conveyed to an examination room or the like while standing on a container stand or the like. In this inspection room, the cap is removed from the storage cylinder, and the storage cylinder is set in the inspection device. Effect of the Invention

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the measuring section is formed in the urine collection tube, it is possible to reliably collect urine in an amount required for the examination. As a result, in the examination room or the like, surplus urine is not processed, so that the examination can be performed hygienically and quickly.

In addition, since the urine collecting tube is covered with the cover tube, the subject can collect urine only by applying urine to the urine collecting port when collecting urine. As a result, the urine can be collected without the urine being caught on the hand or the like, so that the urine can be collected extremely hygienically.

In addition, since there is no opening or the like in the above-mentioned container, it is not necessary to transfer it to Spitz when centrifuging and examining the collected urine. As a result, since the storage cylinder can be applied to the inspection device as it is, the inspection can be speeded up.

Also, if the cover tube and the urine collection tube are connected, the cover tube and the urine collection tube can be removed from the storage tube at the same time without touching the dirty part, so that urine collection can be performed extremely hygienically. it can. ' In addition, if a urine collection scale is provided on the storage cylinder, the amount of urine collected can be accurately identified, so that an inspection record or the like at the time of inspection can be easily created.

In addition, if the storage tube, urine collection tube, and cover tube are subjected to a sterilization treatment, it is possible to accurately perform a test for the type of bacteria and the number of bacteria, thereby improving the reliability of a urine test. .

In addition, when a belt-shaped projection is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the urine collection tube near the urine collection port, leakage between the urine collection tube and the cover cylinder can be prevented. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

Then, the subject applies the urine to the urine collection port 33, and the urine flows from the urine collection port 33 into the urine collection tube 3, accumulates in the measuring section 31, and the collection of urine is completed. At this time, when a predetermined amount (for example, 1 Omfi) of urine is injected into the measuring section 31, the urine leaks from the urine collection port 3 to the outside of the urine collection tube 3, so that the amount required for urine test is surely obtained. It is collected and no excess urine is collected.

When the collection of urine is completed, the urine collection container 1 is transported to an examination room or the like. There are two modes of transport at that time.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the urine collection tube 3 is inserted into the cover tube 4 with the urine collection tube 3 facing downward. As a result, it is a dirty part! > The urinal 3 is covered. At that time, When the urine collecting tube 3 is inserted into the cover tube 4, the urine collecting port 33 is closed by the cover tube 4, and the second protrusion 38 and the concave portion 43 of the cover tube 4 fit when the insertion is completed. The engagement of the second projection 38 and the recess 43 prevents leakage of urine. Also, since the above-mentioned cover body 4 1 is in contact with the first projection 37 of the urine collection tube 3, urine flowing out of the urine collection port 3 3 of the urine collection tube 3 flows back to the closed end side of the cover cylinder 4. I will not. As a result, no urine remains in the birch cylinder 4 and shortage of urine at the time of examination is prevented.

Subsequently, the urine collection container 1 is turned upside down, and the storage tube 2 is inserted into a container stand or the like with the storage tube 2 facing downward, and transported to an examination room or the like. At this time, when the urine collection tube 3 is turned upside down, urine collected by the measuring section 31 flows into the storage tube 2, and the urine is stored in the storage tube 2.

At that time, when the urine collection is completed, the urine collection tube 3 is inserted into the cover tube 4 with the urine collection tube 3 facing downward. When the urine collection tube 3 is inserted into the cover 4, the urine collection port 3 3 is closed by the cover tube 4 and the second projection

38 and recess 43 are engaged.

Thereafter, when the urine collection tube 3 is turned upside down, the urine collected by the measuring section 31 flows into the storage tube 2, and the urine is stored in the storage tube 2. In this state, when the screws 36 and 23 of the urine collection cylinder 3 and the storage cylinder 2 are removed and the cover cylinder 4 is pulled from the storage cylinder 2, the urine collection cylinder 3 and the force bar cylinder 4 are simultaneously removed from the storage cylinder 2. As a result, only the storage tube 2 storing the urine is sealed. The cap 5 is screwed into the opening end of the storage tube 2 to seal the container, and the container is conveyed to an inspection room or the like while standing on a container stand or the like. In this inspection room or the like, the cap 5 is removed from the storage cylinder 2 and the storage cylinder 2 is set in the inspection device. —Effect of Embodiment 1

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the measuring section 31 is formed in the urine collection tube 3, it is possible to reliably collect urine in an amount required for the examination. As a result, surplus urine is not processed in a laboratory or the like, so that the test can be performed hygienically and quickly.

In addition, since the above-mentioned cover tube 4 and the urine collection tube 3 are connected, the urine collection tube 3 and the cover tube 4 can be simultaneously removed from the storage tube 2 without touching a dirty part, which is extremely hygienic. Urine can be collected regularly.

Further, since the urine collecting tube 3 is covered with the cover tube 4, the subject can collect urine only by applying urine to the urine collecting port 33 when collecting urine. As a result, the urine can be collected without the urine hanging on the hands and the like, so that the urine can be collected extremely hygienically.

In addition, since there is no opening or the like formed in the storage cylinder 2, it is not necessary to transfer the urine to a spittoon when inspecting the collected urine by centrifugation. Therefore, since the storage cylinder 2 can be applied to the inspection device as it is, the inspection can be speeded up.

Further, since the storage cylinder 2 is provided with the urine collection scale 2b, the amount of urine collected can be accurately identified, and an inspection record or the like at the time of inspection can be easily created.

—Embodiment 2—

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the cover cylinder 4 is replaced with the urine collection port 3 It is formed so as to close only one.

The subject applies the urine to the urine collection port 33, and the urine flows into the urine collection tube 3 from the urine collection port 33, accumulates in the measuring section 31, and the collection of urine is completed. At this time, when a predetermined amount (1 Omfi) of urine is injected into the measuring section 31, it leaks out of the urine collection tube 3 through the urine collection port 3 3, so that the amount required for urine test is reliably collected. However, no excess urine is collected.

When the collection of urine is completed, the clean cover tube 4 is pushed down, and the tapered portion 4 a of the cover tube 4 is fitted into the taper portion 3 a of the urine collection tube 3. Will be closed. Subsequently, when the cover cylinder 4 is gripped and the urine collection container 1 is turned upside down, the urine collected by the measuring section 31 flows into the storage cylinder 2 and the urine flows into the storage cylinder 2. Is stored.

Thereafter, in this state, it may be inserted into a container stand or the like and transported to an inspection room or the like. Also, as shown in Fig. 11, remove the urine collection tube 3 and the cover tube 4 from the storage tube 2, close the open end of the storage tube 2 with the cap 5, insert it into a container stand, etc., and insert it into an examination room. It may be transported. Other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

—Embodiment 3—

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the measuring section 31 of the second embodiment is formed in an elliptical cylindrical body instead of having a rectangular shape in the shape of an ink. .

Specifically, the measuring section 31 of the urine collection tube 3 is continuous with the tapered section 3a of the urine collection section 32, and is formed in a taper shape having a large diameter toward the bottom in FIG. The end is closed. The large-diameter end of the tapered portion 3a of the urine collection unit 32 is continuous with the small-diameter end which is the upper end of the measuring unit 31.

Therefore, at the time of urine collection, as shown in FIG. 13, the opening end of the storage tube 2 is inserted into the mounting portion 35 of the urine collection tube 3, and the urine collection tube 3 and the storage tube 2 are attached to assemble the urine collection state. .

In this assembled state, the force-par cylinder 4 is located outside the storage cylinder 2 and the urine collection port 33 is open. Then, the subject grips the storage tube 2 with the urine collection tube 3 facing downward. The subject applies the urine to the urine collection port 33, and the urine flows into the urine collection tube 3 from the urine collection port 33, accumulates in the measuring section 31, and the collection of urine is completed. At this time, when a predetermined amount (1 （πΟ) of urine is injected into the measuring section 31, it leaks out of the urine collection tube 3 through the urine outlet 3 3, so that the amount required for urine test is reliably collected. However, no excess urine is collected.

When the collection of urine is completed, the clean cover cylinder 4 is pushed down, and the taper portion 4 a of the cover cylinder 4 is fitted into the taper portion 3 a of the urine collection tube 3. Will be closed. Subsequently, when the cover tube 4 is gripped and the urine collection container 1 is turned upside down, the urine collected by the measuring section 31 flows into the storage tube 2, and the urine ^ storage container 2 Is stored.

Thereafter, in this state, it may be inserted into a container stand or the like and transported to an inspection room or the like. Also, as shown in Fig. 14, remove the urine collection tube 3 and the cover tube 4 from the storage tube 2, close the open end of the storage tube 2 with the cap 5, insert it into the container stand, etc. May be transported. Other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those of the second embodiment.

—Other Embodiment 1

In the above embodiment, the screw 23 of the storage tube 2 and the screw 36 of the urine collection tube 6 are formed, but the screw 23 of the storage tube 2 and the screw 36 of the urine collection tube 6 have a concave portion and a convex portion. In other words, the storage tube 2 and the urine collection tube 6 may be configured to be attached and removed without leaking urine.

In addition, the storage cylinder, the urine collection cylinder, and the cover cylinder may be subjected to a sterilization process. Examples of the sterilization treatment include treatment with a ray, X-ray, ray, ray, electron beam or neutron beam.

In this way, by performing sterilization on the storage cylinder, urine collection cylinder, and single birch cylinder, it is possible to accurately perform the test for the type of bacteria and the number of bacteria, thereby improving the reliability of the urine test. it can.

Further, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5, protrusions 37 and 39 may be formed on both sides of the urine collection port 33 on the outer peripheral surface of the urine collection tube 3. That is, on the outer peripheral surface of the urine collection tube 3, the first protrusion 37 of the measuring portion 31 is formed near the urine collection port 33, and the third protrusion 39 is formed on the side of the mounting portion 35. Is formed. The third protrusion 39 on the side of the mounting portion 35 stops the liquid so that urine does not leak between the urine collection cylinder 3 and the cover cylinder 4 when the urine collection cylinder 3 is inserted into the cover cylinder 4 and turned over. It is for doing. Industrial applicability

As described above, the urine collection container according to the present invention is extremely useful as a container for collecting urine at the time of a urine collection test performed in a hospital or the like.
