The present invention relates to a novel and intelligent urine collection device. More particularly, the present invention relates to an intelligent device for collecting urine having a uniquely designed multi-chamber urine device and an additional intelligent leg device for collecting urine in a more convenient and sanitary manner.

Background

Urine collection devices are used in the healthcare industry. However, the urine collection device can also be used in other areas outside of the healthcare industry. It is also advantageous for hunters, pilots, rowers, any traveler/truck driver, handicapped person urine collecting devices. The urination apparatus collects urine and is connected to a urinary catheter (tube) inside the bladder. It is suitable for use by non-urinary incontinence sufferers as well as by general users who are toilet-limited or time-limited, such as drivers, road travelers, miners, soldiers, security guards, surgeons, pilots, critical field workers, handicapped persons, special needs and holsters, individuals who encounter traffic jams or snowstorms, to increase their productivity and mobility. In particular, in remote areas, public toilets are often not available. It is often impossible to urinate outdoors in a remote location and sometimes people are worried about hygiene. The increasing fear of infection makes people less willing to expose themselves to unnecessary health risks.

The urine bag is used for collecting and temporarily storing urine. It adopts the form of a leg bag tied on the thigh or a drainage bag for the user lying in bed or sitting on a wheelchair. Many urine bags are drainable, allowing the urological patient to continue using the bag for a period of time. When the bag is not reusable or hygienic, the bag is discarded. Some urine drainage bags may also be reusable urine collection bottles.

US 7931630B 2 discloses a multifunctional and modular urine collection system that may include a self-expanding container having a receptacle for receiving urine from a tube; a pump for moving urine through the tube into the container; a tube that can be shortened and/or lengthened; and/or one or more meters for monitoring, measuring, transmitting, or storing a characteristic of urine.

US20170100276 a1 discloses a disposable wearable urine collection device. The urine receptacle comprises an elongate tubular body having a closed upper end and an open lower end; a tubular port in fluid communication with the body, the tubular port configured to receive a penis of a user in a fluid-tight manner; a urine collection container connectable to a lower end of the main body to receive and store urine; and a fastener for securing at least one of the body and the urine collection container to a user or to clothing worn by the user. The device is simple to use and can be accessed by the user by hand through a modified side pocket of the worn pants or other such conventional garments. The main body, tubular port and storage container are formed of a flexible, waterproof material and are configured to lie flat against the body of a user when not in use.

KR20170108266 describes a real-time urine output measurement and testing system and a method of using the same. The real-time urine output measuring and testing system comprises: a measuring unit (101) including a sensor unit (110), a measuring unit (120) generating a first data by calculating a result value measured by the sensor unit (110), and a transmitting unit (130) transmitting the first data to a server unit (140) by using short-range wireless communication, wherein the sensor unit (110) includes a first sensor measuring an amount of urine collected in a urine collecting device (111) by a patient, and a second sensor measuring a chemical component contained in the collected urine at a semi-quantitative rate; and an analysis unit (102) comprising the server unit (140). The server unit (140) comprises: a web application (141) generating and displaying urine data of each patient by processing the first data transmitted from the transmission unit (130), and providing an interface for managing the urine data; and a database (142) for accumulating and storing urine data for each patient. The manager (103) checks and manages urine data in real time through an interface of a web application (141) or a mobile phone in wired and wireless communication without directly checking the urine collection device (111) of each patient. Accordingly, the manager can conveniently check and manage the urine status of the patient in real time through wired and wireless communication without checking the urine collection device directly for each patient.

The urine collection device includes a urine collection bag/chamber 40 having a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to a urinary catheter (not shown) and the second end is connected to a urine storage bag/chamber 60. The urine storage bag/chamber comprises at least one chamber 43, the chamber 43 having an inlet port 41 connected to said urinary catheter at said first end; an anti-drainback valve 47 located below the first inlet port 41; and a drain tube 44 at the second end for connection to the urine storage bag/chamber by a connector 45. The drain tube includes a drain valve 46 to control the discharge of body fluids. The urine storage bag/chamber includes a connector 66 at a first end, an absorbent layer insert 64, and a seal 61 at a second end. The absorbent layer insert 64 absorbs bodily fluids/exudates and is removable from the pouch/chamber. The absorbent layer insert 64 absorbs bodily fluids/exudates and is removable from the pouch/chamber. The seal 61 is a leak-proof zipper arrangement that allows the user to remove the absorbent layer insert from the urine storage bag/chamber. The absorbent layer insert extends as an absorbent string/channel 65 through the connector. A connector at a first end of the urine storage bag/chamber is connected to a drain of the urine collection bag/chamber, creating a pathway for urine collected in the urine collection bag/chamber to the urine storage bag via the absorbent tether. Urine from the urine collection bag drains into the urine storage bag/chamber and is absorbed into the absorbent layer insert, forming a disposable gel. Once the absorbent layer insert is full of capacity, the user may replace it with a new absorbent layer insert. The two bags/chambers are joined by joining means 62 and 42, wherein the two chambers are joined side by side so that connector 45 joins with connector 66. The wall 43 of the urine collection bag is thin and flat and not easily bent to avoid ballooning. The walls 63 of the urine storage bag are flexible to allow a large volume of urine to be contained therein.

As shown in fig. 7(b), a connector 66 is connected to the connector 45, and an absorption string/passage 65 passes through the connector. Figure 7(c) shows a urine collection bag 40. Fig. 7(d) shows the urine storage bag with the absorbent layer insert 64, and fig. 7(e) shows the absorbent layer insert 64 with the absorbent string 65 removed from the urine storage bag. Figure 7(f) shows the urine collection bag connected to a catheter 1.

In a modification of the dual chamber urine collection device, the urine storage bag does not have a seal and is closed at one end. When its capacity is full, the bag is discarded together with the absorbent layer insert. This measure is very useful for travelers.
