[0006] The receptor is placed below the waist of the patient, and while cleaning the local area with warm water, suction of dirt and suction of cleaning waste water are performed by the volume change of the diaphragm chamber and the suction force of the check valve. The sucked filth and sewage are sent to a tank and stored.

[0007]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The cleaning apparatus shown in the embodiment has a suction cleaning mechanism A
And a receiver B, and the suction / cleaning mechanism A is configured by incorporating the suction mechanism 2, the tank 3, and the water discharge mechanism 4 in the main body 1.

The suction mechanism 2 includes a diaphragm chamber 21, a driving section 22, a suction chamber 23, a discharge chamber 24, and check valves 25 and 2.
6, a suction pipe 27 and a discharge pipe 28 are provided. The diaphragm chamber 21 forms a part of the chamber wall with the diaphragm 211, connects a piston body 222 of the drive unit 22, which will be described later, and the diaphragm 211, and swings the diaphragm 211 by the operation of the drive unit 22, thereby forming the diaphragm chamber 21. The volume is changed.

The drive section 22 includes a drive motor 221 and a piston body 222 connected via a crank mechanism.
As described above, the piston body 222 is connected to the diaphragm 211, and the rotation of the motor 221 causes the piston body 222 to move up and down, thereby swinging the diaphragm 211 up and down.

A suction chamber 23 is provided in the diaphragm chamber 21.
A check valve 25 is provided between the suction chamber 23 and the partition, and the diaphragm chamber 21 is provided between the suction chamber 23 and the partition. A non-return valve 26 is provided in the suction chamber 23 so as to extend to the outside of the main body 1 and can be freely bent. And a suction pipe 27 having a suction port capable of performing the above operation. On the other hand, a discharge pipe 28 is connected to the bottom surface of the discharge chamber 24 and connected to the tank 3 positioned below the discharge pipe 28.

The tank 3 has an appropriate capacity,
The connection with the discharge pipe 28 is disconnected, and the open / close door 11 provided on the main body 1 is opened.
From the main body 1 to allow the stored material to be discarded.

The water discharge mechanism 4 includes a water tank 41, a heating section 42,
A pump 43 and a water discharge pipe 44 are provided. The aquarium 41
It stores the water for washing a, and has an appropriate water inlet 411.
Can be provided in case of shortage. Heating unit 42
Is provided with a heater in the water tank 41 and energizing the heater to warm the cleaning water a to a predetermined temperature. The pump 43 raises the cleaning water a to a predetermined water discharge pressure, and the water discharge pipe 44
3 and can extend freely outside the main body 1 and can be freely bent. Further, a water outlet for effectively spraying the cleaning water a is provided at the end.

The receptor B is formed entirely of a flexible material such as vinyl, and has a size at least equal to that of the patient C.
The waist portion is made larger than the entire waist portion, and the peripheral portion of the bottom surface portion 5 is formed as a wall surface (rise wall portion) 6 to form a dish-shaped container as a whole. Particularly, the wall surface 6 is formed by air injection, which is convenient for storage. Further, on one side of the wall surface 6, an elastic plate 7 whose outer peripheral side is cantilevered is provided.

The above-mentioned apparatus is used in such a manner that a receiver B is laid below the waist of a patient C who is lying down, and a suction / cleaning mechanism A fills a water tank 41 with cleaning water a, and energizes a heating unit 42 to preliminarily supply electricity. After warming, the drive motor 221 is operated to perform the volume changing operation of the diaphragm chamber 21. Then, the pump 43 is operated so that the water outlet of the water discharge pipe 44 is directed to the local part of the patient C, and the local part of the patient C is washed with the cleaning water a. At the same time, the cleaning sewage b after the cleaning is sucked by the suction pipe 27. That is, when the diaphragm chamber 21 shifts from a small volume to a large volume, a suction action is generated from the suction chamber 23 through the check valve 25, and the suction from the suction chamber 23 is naturally a suction from the suction pipe 27. Further, when the diaphragm chamber 21 shifts from a large volume to a small volume, the discharging operation from the diaphragm chamber 21 to the discharging chamber 24 is performed.

Accordingly, the cleaning sewage b is sucked from the suction pipe 27 by the operation of the driving unit 22, and the sucked sewage b enters the diaphragm chamber 21 from the suction chamber 23, is discharged to the discharge chamber 24, and is further discharged to the discharge chamber. From 24, it will be received in the tank 3 through the discharge pipe 28. Then, when the washing sewage b accumulates in the tank 3, it may be removed from the main body 1 and discarded.

In the local cleaning of the patient C, the cleaning water a is simultaneously radiated and the cleaning sewage b is suctioned.
By operating the water discharge pipe 44, desired washing can be performed. Moreover, since the receptor B may be used as it is as a diaper, there is no need to use a diaper for a bedridden patient.

Further, when the receptor B is used, the elastic plate 7 is positioned below the waist of the patient C, thereby stabilizing the waist and improving the use comfort of the patient.
