Description

  The present invention relates to a filth logistics unit for people called “ostomates” who are holders of colostomy or artificial bladder.

  People who are called ostomates who hold the colostomy and artificial bladder are equipped with bags to store excrement (hereinafter referred to as filth) in the abdomen of the body, so-called pouches. It is necessary to carry out operations such as discarding the filth and washing away the filth attached to the inner surface of the pouch and the outlet.

  Here, there are individual differences in the position and height at which the pouch is worn, and the above-described operation is difficult if the height of the pouch and the height of the toilet are not the same. For this reason, a technique has been proposed in which the sink is moved up and down according to the mounting height of the pouch to treat filth (see Patent Document 1).

However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, no consideration is given to the space of the discharge hose. Therefore, a separate space is required for processing the discharge hose that is bent when the sink is lowered, which may increase the size of the apparatus.
JP 2003-56018 A

  The present invention provides a waste logistics unit for ostomate that does not require a separate space for a drain pipe even when the waste logistics section is lowered.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, a panel plate provided with a filth distribution part on the front surface, lifting means for lifting and lowering the panel plate, guide means for guiding lifting and lowering of the panel plate, and a nested fit, and A drainage pipe having a plurality of pipe members that are slidable with each other; and a connection pipe having flexibility and having both ends connected to the filth distribution part and the drainage pipe. Dirty logistics unit for ostomate is provided.

  According to the present invention, there is provided an ostomate filth distribution unit that does not require a separate space for a drain pipe even when the filth distribution section is lowered.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining the back side of an ostomate waste logistics unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view for explaining the back side of the ostomate waste logistics unit according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, an elevating means 245, a drain pipe 400, a flash valve 250, an electric water heater 270, a hose 112 a, and the like are provided inside the apparatus main body 200 of the ostomate waste logistics unit 1.
1 and 2 show a state in which the panel plate 100 (dirt distribution unit 110) is at the lower end.

3 and 4 are schematic perspective views for explaining the front side of the ostomate waste logistics unit according to the embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the ostomate waste logistics unit viewed from the side.
As shown in these drawings, on the front surface of the panel plate 100, there is a dirty logistics section 110, a temperature / flow rate adjusting lever 131, a shower faucet 140, a shelf 141, a water soap tank 150, a washing button 211, a toilet paper holder. 212 etc. are provided. Further, an upward operation switch 260 and a downward operation switch 261 are provided on the upper left side of the front.

  The substantially rectangular panel plate 100 is made of a hard resin or the like, and a ceramic dirt distribution section 110 is provided on the front surface thereof. Further, a shelf 141 is provided on the front surface of the panel plate 100 and immediately above the dirty logistics section 110. The shelf 141 is provided with a shower faucet 140, a temperature / flow rate adjusting lever 131, and a semi-fixed mirror 151 for flowing washing water and washing the pouch into the dirty portion 110. A water soap tank 150 is provided on the left side of the shelf 141 and immediately above the dirty logistics section 110. A cleaning button 211 for operating the flush valve 250 (see FIG. 1) is provided on the upper right side of the panel plate 100, and a toilet paper holder 212 is provided below the cleaning button 211.

  Further, the angle of the mirror of the semi-fixed mirror 151 can be varied. If the mirror is a convex mirror, the projected area will be large, so the mirror will be small, and the stoma and its vicinity can be seen from the desired viewpoint regardless of the eye height and stoma position of the ostomate. This makes it easier to perform the cleaning operation.

  One end of the substantially crank-shaped cleaning pipe 112 is connected to a water supply port 110 a provided on the upper side surface of the filth distribution section 110. The other end of the cleaning tube 112 passes through the panel plate 100 and is connected to the flash valve 250 (see FIG. 1) by a flexible hose 112a (see FIG. 1) inside the apparatus main body 200. When the flush valve 250 (see FIG. 1) is activated, the waste water is supplied to the part 110 through the cleaning pipe 112. The supplied cleaning water flows through the hole (not shown) of the rim portion provided on the entire upper periphery of the inner surface of the portion 110 and flows out to the inner surface of the portion 110 so that the filth is washed away. Yes.

  The panel plate 100 and the panel plate 100 can be moved up and down integrally. FIG. 3 shows the case where the panel plate 100 is at the rising end, and FIG. 4 shows the case where the panel plate 100 is at the falling end.

  The filth distribution unit 110 has a large opening at the top so that the filth can be easily cleaned, and a lip 111 is provided. The lip 111 has a shape suitable for the ostomate to press the abdomen against the lip 111 to perform the filth treatment, that is, even if filth leaks during the filth treatment, The shape is suitable for entering. Further, the drainage part 110b provided in the lower part of the filth distribution part 110 is provided with a sealing means (not shown) so that the generation of a strange odor can be prevented.

  The lip part 111 forms an overflow surface of the dirty part. The overflow surface as used herein refers to a surface where sewage flows out of the portion 110 through the sewage distribution when the drainage portion is clogged. When such an overflow surface is formed, even if an abnormal situation occurs in which the drainage portion is clogged, the sewage can be prevented from flowing out of the overflow surface and the other portions becoming dirty. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, since the top surface shape of the filth distribution portion 110 is inclined downward in the front direction, the height of the lip portion 111 on the front side is the lowest on the top surface. The portion 111 becomes an overflow surface. Therefore, even if an abnormal situation occurs in which the drainage portion is clogged, the dirty water does not flow out to the panel plate 100 side, and the contamination of the apparatus main body 200 can be suppressed.

FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view for explaining the shower faucet 140.
As shown in FIG. 6, the shower faucet 140 is provided with a hose 142, a faucet attachment portion 144, and a faucet 145. The faucet 145 can be used by being pulled out from the faucet attachment portion 144 together with the hose 142, and the washing water can flow out at a desired position and orientation. In a state where the faucet 145 is attached to the faucet attachment part 144, the faucet 145 is inclined slightly forward so that the cleaning water is easily contaminated and falls into the part 110. Therefore, the inside of the pouch can be easily cleaned even when the faucet 145 is attached to the faucet mounting portion 144. Further, by pulling out the faucet 145, it is easy for the ostomate to take off clothes and clean the stoma and the stoma, and to clean the soil 110 and locally clean the inside of the section 110.

  The temperature / flow rate adjusting lever 131 is a mixed tap of tap water and tap water (hot water) heated by an electric water heater 270 (see FIG. 1). The temperature of the washing water flowing out from the shower faucet 140 can be adjusted by the amount by which the temperature / flow rate adjusting lever 131 is twisted left and right. Further, the flow rate of the washing water can be adjusted by the amount of the temperature / flow rate adjusting lever 131.

  The outer wall portion of the apparatus main body 200 can be formed using, for example, a plywood made of wood. However, it is preferable to use a resin-made plywood having a certain degree of strength so that luggage, changing clothes, etc. can be placed on the top plate 201 called a deck. A hook 221 is provided on the upper left side of the apparatus main body 200 so that a hat, clothing, or the like can be hooked. Next, returning to FIG. 1, the ostomate waste logistics unit will be described on the back side of the unit 1, that is, the inside of the apparatus main body 200.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an elevating unit 245 for elevating and lowering the panel plate 100 is provided inside the apparatus main body 200. A panel plate mounting portion 300 is provided at the tip of the lifting rod 245 a incorporated in the lifting means 245, and the lifting rod 245 a and the panel plate 100 are connected via the panel plate mounting portion 300. The elevating means 245 includes, for example, a hydraulic cylinder (not shown), and a piston (not shown) is also pushed up by the hydraulic pressure, whereby the elevating rod 245a is pushed up and the panel plate 100 is raised. If the water pressure in the hydraulic cylinder is reduced (drained), the panel plate 100 is lowered by its own weight.

  The cross-sectional shape of the elevating rod 245a is rectangular, and the cross-sectional shape of the hole portion of the elevating means 245 in which the elevating rod 245a is inserted is also a rectangle having a slightly larger dimension. For this reason, this hole serves as a guide means, and in this embodiment, the guide means and the elevating means 245 are integrated. By this guide means (hole portion), the movement of the lifting rod 245a in the rotational direction and the tilting direction is suppressed, and the panel plate 100 can be lifted and lowered substantially linearly. In addition to the hole portion of the lifting / lowering means 245, an auxiliary guide means can be provided, or the sectional shape of the lifting / lowering rod can be circular and a separate guide means can be provided.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram for explaining the configuration of the lifting and lowering operation portion.
As described above, the lifting / lowering means 245 incorporates a hydraulic cylinder (not shown), and the 2-port electromagnetic valve 247a and the 2-port electromagnetic valve 247b are connected to the hydraulic cylinder via a pipe. Therefore, the primary side tap water can be supplied to the hydraulic cylinder via the two-port solenoid valve 247a, and drainage from the hydraulic cylinder can be performed via the two-port solenoid valve 247b. The raising operation switch 260 for raising the panel plate 100 and the lowering operation switch 261 for lowering the panel plate 100 are electrically connected to the controller 262, and the 2-port solenoid valve 247a and the 2-port solenoid The valve 247b is also electrically connected to the controller 262. Therefore, the controller 262 that has received a signal from the ascending operation switch 260 or the descending operation switch 261 operates the 2-port solenoid valve 247a or the 2-port solenoid valve 247b to control the supply / drainage to the hydraulic cylinder, thereby raising / lowering the elevator 245. Can be done.

  FIG. 8 is a schematic timing chart for explaining the lifting operation.

  The raising / lowering operation of the raising / lowering means 245 is performed by the raising operation switch 260 and the lowering operation switch 261 provided on the front side. As shown in FIG. 8, the hydraulic cylinder (not shown) rises only while the raising operation switch 260 is pressed, and falls only while the operator consciously pushes the lowering operation switch 261. During the lifting and lowering operation by the operator, the human body and the object are not easily caught by the filthy logistics unit 110 or the like. Furthermore, these switches are touchless switches, and are hygienic because they can be lifted and lowered by simply holding their hands over a human body detection means or motion detection means (not shown). Examples of the human body detection means or operation detection means used in the touchless switch include those using infrared rays, millimeter waves, microwaves, capacitance type, and the like. Regarding safety, object detection means such as a tape switch (not shown) is provided on the panel plate 100 below the filth distribution section 110 or near the filth distribution section 110 below the filth distribution section 110. A control device is devised so as not to descend while an object is detected downward. Further, the rising end and the falling end may be detected by a detection means (not shown), or may be controlled by time using a timer or the like.

  Here, the hydraulic cylinder can be moved up and down using the water pressure of the primary side tap water used as cleaning water as it is, but is not limited thereto. For example, the pressure may be applied using a pump or the like, or a pressure adjustment valve may be provided to adjust the pressure. In addition, supply, stop, and drainage of water to the hydraulic cylinder are performed by two-port solenoid valves 247a and 247b (see FIGS. 1 and 7). If water is supplied to the hydraulic cylinder by the electromagnetic valve 247a (see FIGS. 1 and 7), the panel plate 100 can be raised. If the supply of water is stopped by closing the two-port solenoid valve 247b, the elevation position of the panel plate 100 can be maintained. If the 2-port solenoid valve 247a is closed and the 2-port solenoid valve 247b is opened to discharge water, the panel plate 100 can be lowered. Drainage from the hydraulic cylinder is discharged to the outside of the apparatus main body 200 through a pipe (not shown). In addition, raising / lowering is not restricted to a hydraulic cylinder, You may make it use what combined the electric motor and the deceleration mechanism, an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc.

  In addition, a drainage pipe 400 is provided inside the apparatus main body 200 for discharging the filth from the unit 110 together with cleaning water to the outside of the apparatus main body 200. One end of the drainage pipe 400 is connected to the drainage part 110b (see FIG. 3) provided at the lower part of the filth distribution part 110, and the other end is connected to the external outlet D. The external discharge port D may be provided on the facility side where the apparatus main body 200 is installed. Details of the configuration of the drain pipe 400 will be described later.

  An electric water heater 270 is provided above the inside of the apparatus main body 200. The electric water heater 270 is preferably provided from the viewpoint of washing the body in winter and from the viewpoint of cleaning of filth. The electric water heater 270 can be provided above the lifting / lowering means 245. However, the rising of the lifting / lowering rod 245a reduces the remaining space, makes piping and wiring in a small space complicated, and works for piping and wiring. In view of the poor performance, it is preferable to avoid the upper part of the lifting / lowering means 245.

  In addition, the electric water heater 270 provided in the apparatus main body 200 is connected to the temperature / flow rate adjusting lever 131 with a flexible hose so as to follow the raising / lowering operation of the panel plate 100.

  In addition, as a method for discharging the expansion water of the electric water heater 270, a water discharge space can be provided inside the apparatus main body 200, and the discharge pipe of the expansion water can be connected to the drain pipe 400 via a trap. By doing so, it is not necessary to separately provide a discharge pipe for the expanded water in the dirty part 110, and it is possible to prevent confusion with a faucet for cleaning use.

  A flash valve 250 is provided in the upper right part inside the apparatus main body 200, and a vacuum breaker (not shown) is provided in the flash valve 250. The flush valve 250 is used to wash away dirt attached to the section 110 at a stretch using the water pressure of the primary side tap water. When the washing button 211 is pressed, the washing water passes through the washing pipe 112 to remove the dirt. From the hole (not shown) of the rim portion formed on the entire inner periphery of the upper portion of the sink portion 110, the filth flow is distributed over the entire inner surface of the portion 110 for a predetermined time. Here, since the cleaning tube 112 and the flush valve 250 are connected by a flexible hose 112a, the hose 112a can bend even if the panel plate 100 is raised and lowered, and the connection can be maintained. Yes. In this way, the flush valve 250 can be fixed in the apparatus main body 200, and the primary-side tap water pipe 252 is fixed to a fixed pipe (for example, made of hard resin) regardless of the up-and-down movement of the panel plate 100. The reliability of the primary side tap water pipe 252 to which water pressure is always applied can be improved.

  Further, the vacuum breaker is provided so as to be positioned above the lip 111 of the filth distribution section 110 when the filth distribution section 110 is at the rising end position. For this reason, it is possible to reliably prevent sewage from entering from the air intake of the vacuum breaker and the upstream side (tap water side) from being contaminated by sewage. As a vacuum breaker, a thing using a swing valve, a thing using a duck bill, etc. are employable.

  In addition, in the apparatus main body 200, a flexible hose (not shown) for connecting the primary side tap water piping to the temperature / flow rate adjusting lever 131, other piping / wiring members, etc. Is housed.

Next, the drain pipe 400 will be described.
FIG. 9 is a schematic perspective view for explaining the drain pipe 400. The figure on the left side is the filth distribution section 110 when the portion 110 is in the lowered end position (when the drain pipe 400 is contracted), and the center diagram is the filth distribution section. It shows when 110 is in the rising end position (when the drain pipe 400 is extended). Moreover, the figure on the right side is a schematic sectional view showing details of the slide portion.

  The drain pipe 400 includes a substantially L-shaped first pipe member 400a, a second pipe member 400b having an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first pipe member 400a, and a second pipe member 400b. A third pipe member 400c having an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter.

  One end of the first pipe member 400a is provided with a connecting pipe 401 having flexibility, and the other end is fitted to the second pipe member 400b. The other end of the second pipe member 400b is fitted into the third pipe member 400c, and the other end of the third pipe member 400c is connected to the external outlet D. In this way, the pipe members are fitted in a nested manner and are slidable with respect to each other. Therefore, the overall length of the drain pipe 400 can be changed by sliding one pipe member in the axial direction with respect to the other pipe member, and the space for the drain pipe can be obtained even when the filth distribution part 110 is lowered. Is not required separately.

  Moreover, as shown in the drawing on the right side of FIG. 9, it is possible to provide a stopper 400d on the end surface of the pipe member to prevent it from coming out by contacting each other.

  The seal member 402 is provided on the sliding surface of each pipe member, and seals a gap between the inner pipe member and the outer pipe member when sliding. The seal member 402 is attached to a groove 402a provided in the inner pipe member or the outer pipe member. In addition, although what was illustrated is a case where it provides in an inner side pipe member, you may provide in an outer side pipe member. The sealing member 402 prevents filth, washing water, odor, and the like from leaking outside the pipe member.

  The material of the first pipe member 400a, the second pipe member 400b, and the third pipe member 400c may be, for example, a hard resin in consideration of corrosion resistance, strength, lightness, and the like. The flexible connecting tube 401 can also be made of a soft resin or the like, but it is preferable to use a bellows tube if importance is given to a misalignment correcting action described later.

  The seal member 402 illustrated in the right side of FIG. 9 is made of an elastic material such as rubber and has a substantially X-shaped cross section. The sealing member 402 having such a cross-sectional shape has a good sealing property even with a small amount of crushing, has a small start-up and motion friction, and is strong against torsion. Therefore, it is used for the drain pipe 400 according to this embodiment. Is preferred. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the cross section may be substantially O-shaped, substantially D-shaped, or substantially T-shaped.

  The number of pipe members is not limited to that shown in the figure, and can be changed as appropriate.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram for explaining the attachment of the drain pipe 400.
FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram for explaining the expansion / contraction state of the drain pipe 400. The figure on the left side is a diagram on the right side when the drain pipe 400 is contracted (when the filth distribution part 110 is at the descending end position). Indicates when the drainage pipe 400 is extended (when the filth distribution part 110 is at the rising end position).

  As shown in FIG. 10, the first pipe member 400 a and the drainage part 110 b provided at the lower part of the dirty part 110 are connected via a flexible connection pipe 401. And, by the expansion and contraction action of the drain pipe 400, the filth distribution part 110 can be surely discharged together with the cleaning water regardless of the position between the rising end position and the falling end position.

  Here, since there is a great individual difference in the height at which the ostomate wears the pouch, the ascending / descending size of the filthy logistics unit 110 is considerably larger than that of a normal height-adjustable toilet. Therefore, as in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, simply using a flexible discharge hose cannot treat the bent discharge hose when it is lowered so that it does not get in the way. Inconvenience occurs, such as requiring space.

  On the other hand, as described above, the drainage pipe 400 according to the present embodiment can cope with a large lifting dimension without requiring a separate space. Therefore, the apparatus can be reduced in size and can be installed in a place where only a relatively small space can be secured, such as a toilet in a station or a public toilet in a town.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram for explaining the misalignment correction. The diagram on the left shows a state where the drain pipe 400 is attached to the unit 1 with the waste logistics for ostomate, and the diagram on the right shows the state of the misalignment correction. Is.
As shown in FIG. 12, the external outlet D to which one end of the third pipe member 400c is connected may be provided on the facility side where the apparatus main body 200 is installed. In this case, there may be a deviation from the design dimensions depending on the accuracy of the construction work. The effect of such dimension deviation (core misalignment) becomes more conspicuous as the lifting / lowering dimension increases in combination with the falling of the pipe member, etc., which causes a hindrance to smooth operation due to an increase in sliding resistance. There is also a possibility that inconveniences such as failure to follow and damage to the drain pipe 400 may occur.

  In the drainage pipe 400 according to the present embodiment, the first pipe member 400a and the drainage part 110b provided at the lower part of the dirty part 110 are connected via a flexible connecting pipe 401. . Therefore, as shown in the diagram on the right side of FIG. 12, the connecting pipe 401 can be bent by the amount of the misalignment to correct the misalignment, and a smooth lifting operation can be performed. Here, considering that it is possible to cope with a large amount of misalignment in a narrow space, it is preferable to use a bellows tube excellent in flexibility for the connection tube 401. If the amount of misalignment is negligible, the connecting pipe 401 can be omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the connection pipe 401 is provided between the first pipe member 400a and the drainage part 110b. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the external discharge port D and the third pipe are not limited thereto. It can also be provided at a connection portion with the member 400c, between each pipe member, between each pipe member, or the like.

FIGS. 13 and 14 are schematic diagrams for explaining the state when the drain pipe 400 provided with the connection pipe 401 is raised and lowered.
The diagram on the left side of FIG. 13 shows a situation when the filth distribution section 110 is in the descending end position, and the diagram on the right side shows the situation when it rises from the descending end side.
Moreover, the left figure of FIG. 14 shows a state when the filth distribution section 110 is at the rising end position, and the right figure shows a state when it is descending from the rising end side.
As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the sliding resistance of each pipe member of the drainage pipe 400 increases depending on the misalignment amount, etc., and the expansion and contraction of the drainage pipe 400 cannot follow up and down of the filth distribution section 110. 401 may be deformed in the vertical direction. In this case, the connection tube 401 may be damaged when a large deformation occurs or when it is repeatedly deformed.

  As a result of the study, the inventor has established a holding means for holding the connection pipe 401 even when the amount of misalignment is large and the deformation of the connection pipe 401 is large, so that the connection at the time of raising and lowering is provided. It was found that the deformation of the tube 401 can be suppressed and damage can be suppressed.

FIG. 15 is a schematic perspective view for explaining an example of the holding means.
FIG. 16 is an enlarged schematic perspective view of the holding means illustrated in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the second holding means 408a is provided on the upper side of the flexible connecting tube 401, and the first holding means 409a is provided on the lower side. The second holding means 408a and the first holding means 409a are plate-like members having a substantially L-shaped cross section, and are attached to a mounting plate 300 provided on the panel plate 100 with bolts or the like. In this specific example, the contact surface A1 of the second holding means 408a and the contact surface B1 of the first holding means 409a are flat. The dimension L1 between the contact surface A1 and the contact surface B1 is larger than the outer diameter size of the connecting pipe 401. Therefore, only the abutment surface B1 of the first holding means 409a abuts on the connecting pipe 401 when ascending, and only the abutment surface A1 of the second holding means 408a abuts on the connecting pipe 401 when descending. It is possible to suppress a large force from being applied to the connecting pipe 401. The dimension L1 between the contact surfaces is appropriately determined in consideration of the degree of misalignment, the strength of the connection pipe 401, and the like.

FIG. 17 is a schematic perspective view for explaining another specific example of the holding means.
As shown in FIG. 17, the second holding means 408b is provided on the upper side of the flexible connecting tube 401, and the first holding means 409b is provided on the lower side. The shape of the contact surface A2 and the contact surface B2 is different between the holding means described in FIG. 16 and the specific example. As shown in FIG. 17, the contact surface A <b> 2 and the contact surface B <b> 2 are curved surfaces having a predetermined curvature in the diameter direction of the connection tube 401. Therefore, the connecting pipe 401 is guided to the apex position of the curved surface, and can be automatically positioned and held. In addition, the dimension L2 between the apex position of the abutting surface A2 (the part where the abutting occurs) and the apex position of the abutting surface B2 (the part where the abutting occurs) is larger than the outer diameter dimension of the connecting pipe 401. Yes. Therefore, also in this specific example, it is possible to suppress an unreasonable force from being applied to the connecting pipe 401 during the ascent / descent. The dimension L2 between the contact surfaces is appropriately determined in consideration of the degree of misalignment, the strength of the connecting pipe 401, and the like.

  Moreover, the curvature which contact surface A2 and contact surface B2 have can also be selected suitably. For example, in order to increase the inductivity to the apex position described above, the radius of curvature may be reduced, and in order to reduce the force applied to the connection pipe 401 during ascent, the radius of curvature may be increased. It should be noted that the contact surface (V-shaped contact surface) having an inclined surface with the vertex position as the center can also be used by placing importance on the inductivity to the vertex position.

FIG. 18 is a schematic perspective view for explaining another specific example of the holding means.
As shown in FIG. 18, the second holding means 408c is provided on the upper side of the flexible connecting tube 401, and the first holding means 409c is provided on the lower side. The holding means described in FIG. 16 and this specific example are different in that rising portions 408c1 and 409c1 are provided on both end surfaces in the width direction of the contact surfaces A3 and B3. Therefore, when the connecting pipe 401 is vibrated in the left-right direction, the connecting pipe 401 can be brought into contact with the rising portion 408c1 and the rising portion 409c1 to suppress the vibration. Further, the dimension L3 between the contact surface A3 and the contact surface B3 is larger than the outer diameter size of the connecting pipe 401. Therefore, also in this specific example, it is possible to suppress an unreasonable force from being applied to the connecting pipe 401 during the ascent / descent. The dimension L3 between the contact surfaces is appropriately determined in consideration of the degree of misalignment, the strength of the connecting pipe 401, and the like.

  Moreover, the width direction dimension W1 between each rising part can also be selected suitably. For example, if the width direction dimension W1 between the rising parts is brought close to the outer diameter dimension of the connecting pipe 401, the above-described vibration suppressing effect can be enhanced.

FIG. 19 is a schematic perspective view for explaining another specific example of the holding means.
As shown in FIG. 19, the second holding means 408d is provided on the upper side of the flexible connecting tube 401, and the first holding means 409d is provided on the lower side. The holding means described in FIG. 16 and the specific example are different in that the second holding means 408d and the first holding means 409d are made of an elastic material. For this reason, even if the second holding means 408d and the first holding means 409d are brought into contact with the connection pipe 401, an excessive force is not applied to the connection pipe 401 during raising and lowering. In addition, as shown in FIG. 19, means 411 (for example, a rubber band) for providing an elastic force acting in directions close to each other are provided at the distal ends of the second holding means 408d and the first holding means 409d. If so, it is possible to assist the tip portion where the holding force becomes weak. The means 411 for applying the elastic force may be one in which a coil spring is wound. Alternatively, the connection pipe 401, the second holding unit 408d, and the first holding unit 409d may be provided with a gap without being brought into contact with each other. The elastic force of the second holding means 408d, the first holding means 409d, and the means 411 for applying an elastic force is appropriately determined in consideration of the degree of misalignment, the strength of the connecting tube 401, and the like.

FIG. 20 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining another specific example of the holding means, and shows a cross section at the center in the width direction of the second holding means 408a and the first holding means 409d described in FIG. ing. In this specific example, the elastic member 410 is provided on the contact surface A1 of the second holding means 408a and the contact surface B1 of the first holding means 409d described in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to further protect the connection pipe 401 during the elevation. In this case, the surface of the elastic member 410 (the surface opposite to the side provided on the second holding means 408a and the first holding means 409d) is the contact surface. In addition, as a material of the elastic member 410, soft resin materials, such as rubber | gum and sponge, can be illustrated. In that case, the thickness and hardness of the elastic member 410 can be selected as appropriate. Moreover, the elastic member 410 can also be provided in each holding means demonstrated in FIGS.
FIG. 21 is a schematic perspective view for explaining another specific example of the holding means.
As shown in FIG. 21, a protrusion 405 having a vertical dimension (height dimension) L4 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the pipe member 400a at the top of the drain pipe 400 (fitted to the innermost side). An upper holding means 408e is provided above the protrusion 405, and a lower holding means 409e is provided below the protrusion 405 so as to pass through the vertical portion of the drain pipe 400. The upper holding means 408e and the lower holding means 409e are provided so as to come into contact with the protrusion 405, and the dimension between the upper holding means 408e and the lower holding means 409e is based on the vertical dimension (height dimension) L4 of the protrusion 405. It is getting bigger. In addition, the dimension W of the portion through which the vertical portion of the drain pipe 400 is inserted is larger than the outer diameter size of the vertical portion of the drain pipe 400 and smaller than the outer diameter size of the protrusion 405. For this reason, only the lower holding means 409e and the lower surface of the projection 405 are in contact with each other when rising, and only the upper holding means 408e and the upper surface of the projection 405 are in contact with each other when lowering. It is possible to suppress the connection pipe 401 from being applied. Note that the dimensions and the dimension W of the protrusion 405 are appropriately determined in consideration of the degree of misalignment, the strength of the connecting pipe 401, and the like.

  FIG. 22 is a schematic diagram for explaining the cleaning means provided in the drain pipe 400, and the left side diagram shows a case where the filth distribution part 110 is in the descending end position (when the drain pipe 400 is contracted). The figure shows the case where the filth distribution section 110 is at the rising end position (when the drain pipe 400 is extended). Moreover, the figure on the right side is a schematic sectional view showing details of the slide portion.

  7 and the specific example, the cleaning means for cleaning the outside of the pipe member at the end face of the pipe member (in the case of the right side, the pipe member 400b and the pipe member 400c). 412a and the cleaning means 412b for cleaning the inside of the pipe member are different. Therefore, in this specific example, dirt attached to each pipe member is scraped off when the pipe member 400a, pipe member 400b, and pipe member 400c are raised and lowered, and the malfunction of each pipe member and the generation of odor during the raising and lowering are suppressed. The seal member 402 can be protected. In particular, if the cleaning means 412b for cleaning the inside of the pipe member is provided, the attached dirt is scraped into the pipe member and discharged from the external discharge port D to the outside of the apparatus. Is preferred. The cleaning unit 412a and the cleaning unit 412b are made of an elastic material such as rubber, but a metal plate or a spring for applying an elastic force can be separately provided. Further, the shape is not limited to the ring shape illustrated in FIG. 22, and any shape may be used as long as the lip portion 412c comes into contact with the pipe member.

FIG. 23 is a schematic diagram for explaining the cover of the drain pipe expansion / contraction part. The figure on the left side shows the filth distribution and the part 110 is at the lower end position (when the drain pipe 400 is contracted), and the figure on the right side shows the filth. This shows the time when the sink 110 is at the rising end position (when the drain pipe 400 is extended).
In this specific example, as shown in FIG. 23, a cover 413 is provided so as to cover the stretchable portion of the drain pipe 400. The cover 413 is a telescopic tubular member made of a bellows tube or a flexible material, and both ends of the cover 413 are the uppermost pipe member (in the illustrated example, the pipe member 400a) and the lowermost pipe of the stretchable portion of the drainage pipe 400. It is fixed to a member (in the illustrated case, a pipe member 400c). For this reason, it is possible to suppress odors and the like from the inside of the pipe member from leaking to the outside, and it is also possible to suppress a lifting / lowering operation failure caused by foreign matter adhering to the pipe member.

  FIG. 24 is a schematic perspective view for explaining the reinforcement of the drain pipe. The left figure is when the filth distribution part 110 is at the descending end position (when the drain pipe 400 is contracted), and the right figure is the filth. This shows the time when the sink 110 is at the rising end position (when the drain pipe 400 is extended).

  When raising / lowering the drain pipe 400, the stress of the curved part C of the pipe member 400a becomes the largest. Therefore, it is preferable to reinforce by increasing the thickness of this portion or using a highly rigid material such as metal for this portion. Further, as shown in FIG. 25, a plate-like rib 414 may be provided in the curved portion C.

  Next, the operation of the ostomate waste logistics unit 1 will be described. Dirty logistics unit 1 for ostomate is installed in public spaces such as station toilets and public toilets in towns, and is used for unspecified ostomates.

Here, the waste logistics unit for ostomate 1 according to the present embodiment provided with the drain pipe as described above is small even in a place where only a relatively narrow space can be secured because the outer diameter of the unit itself is small. Installation is possible.
When this ostomate waste logistics unit 1 is used by the ostomate, clothes such as a jacket can be hooked on the hook 221 and a load or change of clothes can be placed on the top plate 201 on the upper surface of the unit.

First, the sewage is moved up and down by the lifting means 245 and the height of the lip part 111 is adjusted so that the height of the lip part 111 is appropriate. For example, the height of the portion 110 is adjusted by performing the filthy logistics so that the lip portion 111 is immediately below the ostomate stoma.
The height of the filth distribution unit 110 is adjusted by operating an operation switch (not shown).

  In the ostomate waste distribution unit 1 according to the present embodiment, the flexible connecting pipe 401, the holding means explained in FIGS. 15 to 21, the cleaning means explained in FIG. Smooth drainage operation can be performed by the action of reinforcing the cover of the drainage pipe expansion / contraction section described above and the pipe member curved section described in FIGS. 24 and 25, and also breakage, generation of a strange odor, filth and washing water Leakage can be suppressed. Therefore, it can contribute to the improvement of public health in public spaces such as toilets in stations and public toilets in towns.

  The ostomate disposes of dirt and lifts the part 110 to an optimum height, then removes the pouch that was worn on the body and cleans the inside of this pouch with the wash water from the shower faucet 140 as shown in FIG. Or cleaning the stoma and its surroundings. At this time, the semi-fixed mirror 151 can be used for cleaning while looking at the stoma and its surroundings, and in winter and the like, cleaning water at a desired temperature can be supplied from the shower faucet 140. In addition, it is also preferable from the viewpoint of hygiene because it is possible to remove the soap from the tank 150 for washing soap and wash hands and pouches.

  In addition, as described above, the water discharge direction in a state in which the faucet 145 is not pulled out is directed toward the inner wall portion of the filthy distribution portion 110, so that the inner wall portion of the filthy distribution portion 110 is always washed away and a sanitary viewpoint. Is also preferable.

  During such a waste disposal operation, for example, the waste may jump out of the stoma, or depending on the amount, state, and washing method of the waste in the pouch or around the stoma, the waste may scatter around. The shower faucet 140 may be dirtied intentionally, but the shower faucet 140 is disposed above the portion 110, and even in such a case, filth will not adhere to the shower faucet 140. No sanitary property can be ensured.

Next, after washing the stoma and its surroundings using the shower faucet 140, the washing water attached to the stoma and its surroundings is wiped off with toilet paper or the like, and a new pouch is attached to the stoma.
Next, at the same time as or after the washing water flows out from the shower faucet 140, the flush button 211 is actuated to activate the flush valve 250 to wash away the inner wall surface of the section 110, and through the drain pipe 400. Dispose of filth from the unit at once.

  In addition, those necessary for the series of operations such as temperature / flow rate adjusting lever 131, shower faucet 140, water soap tank 150, semi-fixed mirror 151, washing button 211, toilet paper holder 212 and the like are also filthrated. Since it moves up and down with the part 110, it is an easy-to-use system for ostomates.
