Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic excrement processing apparatus that can be used by a person such as a sick person or an elderly person who has difficulty in processing excrement by himself or herself in a bed or a wheelchair.

  Conventionally, as this kind of excrement automatic processing apparatus, what was published by patent document 1 (patent 3749097 gazette) is known, for example. As shown in FIG. 5, the excrement automatic processing apparatus Sa is mounted along the crotch portion of the human body and has a recess 100 that receives the excretion E that is excreted from the human body covering the pubic area and anus. The receiving body 100 is connected to the recess 101 to form a discharge port 102 for discharging the excrement E received in the recess 101, and a discharge pipe 103 is connected to the discharge port 102. One discharge port 102 is formed on a center line 106 that connects the front end portion 104 on the genital side of the receptacle 100 and the rear end portion 105 on the anal side, and the discharge tube 103 stores the excrement E in the figure. Connected to the outside tank. And the excrement E in the recessed part 101 is accommodated in a tank through the discharge pipe 103 by suction of a suction pump (not shown).

Japanese Patent No. 3749097

  However, in this conventional excrement automatic processing apparatus Sa, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), in the recumbent position, on one of the side surfaces 107 parallel to the center line 106 of the recess 101, The excrement E moves and is biased toward the one side from the center line 106 of the receptacle 100. Therefore, when excretion E is inhaled, it becomes difficult to inhale excrement E, and excretion E is sufficiently discharged. There is a problem that excrement E may remain in the recess 101 without being performed. When the excrement E remains, bad odor and various germs are generated, which causes a hygiene problem.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and enables excretion to be surely discharged even when excrement is biased to one side in a lying position, and excretion to prevent generation of malodors and bacteria. An object is to provide an automatic object processing apparatus.

  In order to achieve such an object, the excrement automatic processing apparatus according to the present invention is provided with a concave portion that is attached along the crotch portion of the human body and that covers the pubic region and anus to receive excretion excreted from the human body. In the excrement automatic processing apparatus, wherein the receptacle has a discharge port that communicates with the recess and discharges excrement received in the recess, and a discharge pipe is connected to the discharge port. One or a plurality of outlets are provided on one side and the other side of the center line connecting the front end portion on the genital side of the receiving body and the rear end portion on the anal side.

  Thereby, when excretion is discharged | emitted from the recessed part of a receiving body, it carries out by the suction | inhalation etc. of a suction pump, for example. In the supine position, the excrement moves toward the discharge port along the bottom surface of the recess, and the discharge port communicates with the recess, so that the excretion is reliably discharged from the discharge port. Moreover, when lying down, excrement moves and is biased to one of the side surfaces of the recesses formed on one side and the other side. However, since one or more discharge ports are provided on each of the one side and the other side, the excrement can be sucked by the discharge port provided on the moved side, regardless of which side the excrement moves and biases. Therefore, the excretion is sufficiently discharged as compared with the conventional case. Therefore, the residual of excrement can be prevented, the generation of malodor and various germs can be prevented, and the receiver can be kept clean.

  And as needed, it is set as the structure which provided the said 1st discharge port and the discharge port of the other side in the symmetrical position with respect to the said centerline. Thereby, when a human body lies down, excretion discharge | releases will be performed on the same conditions regardless of which one side of a receiving body and the other side is located below.

  Further, if necessary, the receiving body is formed in a substantially U shape with a front side part covering the front side of the crotch part of the human body and a rear side part covering the rear side, and the concave part is formed from the front side part. Formed over the rear side, and at least a pair of discharge ports on the one side and the other side provided at the rear end of the receiver so as to open toward the toes when the human body lies on its back It is said. Thereby, since the discharge pipe connected to the discharge port extends and is connected to the toe side of the human body, the discharge pipe is less likely to collide with the leg, and therefore, the discharge pipe can be made less likely to get in the way. .

  Further, if necessary, a buffer unit that has a surface continuous with the bottom surface and the side surface of the concave portion and collects and retains excreta is provided in front of the discharge port. Thereby, since excrement can be collected to some extent by the buffer part, it becomes easy to guide to a discharge pipe, and it becomes easy to discharge excretion by that much. In addition, since the buffer portion has a surface continuous with the bottom surface and the side surface of the recess, the buffer portion extends along the bottom surface and the side surface of the recess in any position in the supine position and the recumbent position. Therefore, the excrement can be more reliably collected in the buffer unit, and therefore the excretion can be more reliably discharged.

  Furthermore, if necessary, a sensor for detecting the vertical position of one side and the other side of the receiving body when a human body lies on the receiving body is provided, and an opening / closing valve is provided for each of the plurality of discharge pipes. Based on this detection, a control unit is provided for opening the open / close valve of the discharge pipe connected to the discharge port on one side or the other side of the receiving body located on the lower side. As a result, when the human body lies down, the excrement moves to the side surface of the concave portion on one side or the other side of the receiving body located on the lower side. Open and close the discharge pipe open / close valve connected to the outlet, close the discharge pipe open / close valve connected to the upper or lower discharge outlet, and excrete only from the lower discharge pipe Drain things. Therefore, since the suction in the discharge pipe on the side where there is no discharge can be stopped, it is possible to prevent a situation in which only the air is sucked to cause discomfort to the human body.

  In addition, if necessary, the receiving body is provided with an injection guide nozzle that injects fluid toward the outlet of the receiver and guides excrement to the outlet. As the fluid, air, water, or the like is used. Thereby, since the excrement is pushed into the discharge port by the fluid ejected from the ejection guide nozzle, the excrement can be easily guided to the discharge pipe, and the excrement can be easily discharged accordingly.

  According to the excrement automatic processing apparatus of the present invention, when in the supine position, the excrement moves toward the discharge port along the bottom surface of the recess, and the discharge port communicates with the recess. Is reliably discharged from the outlet. In the lying position, excrement moves and is biased to one of the side surfaces of the recesses formed on one side and the other side, but one or more discharge ports are provided on one side and the other side, respectively. Therefore, even if the excrement moves to any side, it can be sucked by the discharge port provided on the moved side. Done. Therefore, the residual of excrement can be prevented, the generation of malodor and various germs can be prevented, and the receiver can be kept clean.

A concave portion 2 is formed on the inner side of the receiving body 1 from the front side portion 3 to the rear side portion 4, and the outer periphery is formed so as to be in close contact with the human body.

  The discharge port 10 formed in the receiver 1 is on one side 8 and the other side 9 with a center line 7 connecting the front end 5 on the genital side of the receiver 1 and the rear end 6 on the anal side as a boundary, One or a plurality of discharge ports 10 on one side and a discharge port 10 on the other side 9 are provided at symmetrical positions with respect to the center line 7. In the embodiment, each one is provided. The pair of discharge ports 10 are provided on the rear end portion 6 side of the rear side portion 4 of the receiving body 1 so as to open toward the toe side when the human body lies on its back.

  In addition, a buffer unit 11 that has a surface continuous with the bottom surface 2a and the side surface 2b of the recess 2 and collects and stops the excrement E is provided at the front of the pair of discharge ports 10. The buffer portion 11 is formed so as to protrude from the receiving body 1 toward the toe side when in the supine position, and a pair of discharge ports 10 are communicated with the buffer portion 11.

Furthermore, at the rear end portion 6 of the receiver 1, an injection guide nozzle that injects water as a fluid through the space of the buffer portion 11 toward the discharge port 10 of the receiver 1 and guides the excrement E to the discharge port 10. 12 is provided.
Furthermore, a plurality of cleaning nozzles 13 for injecting water (warm water) toward the genital area and the anus are provided on the wall portions of the front side portion 3 and the rear side portion 4.
The injection guide nozzle 12 and the cleaning nozzle 13 are connected to a water storage tank 14 that stores water through a pipe, and water (hot water) is supplied to the injection guide nozzle 12 and the cleaning nozzle 13 in the middle of the pipe. A water pump 15 is provided.

  The discharge pipe 20 is formed of a flexible member such as resin, and has one end connected to the discharge port 10 and the other end connected to the filth tank 16. The discharge pipe 20 is connected to each of the pair of discharge ports 10, and the discharge pipe 20 is provided with an open / close valve 21. The on-off valve 21 is open when in the supine position.

  A suction pump 17 (vacuum pump) is connected to the filth tank 16, and the sewage tank 16 sucks the excrement E in the recess 2 and the discharge pipe 20 through the filth tank 16. The excrement E can be discharged inside.

Next, the control system of the excrement automatic processing apparatus S according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, reference numeral 30 denotes a control unit that performs various types of control using functions such as a CPU of a computer.
The front side portion 3 of the receptacle 1 is provided with a sensor 31 that detects the vertical position of the one side 8 and the other side 9 of the receptacle 1 when the human body lies down. Based on the detection of the sensor 31, the control unit 30 operates to open the opening / closing valve 21 of the discharge pipe 20 connected to the discharge port 10 on the one side 8 or the other side 9 of the receiving body 1 positioned on the lower side, The on-off valve 21 of the discharge pipe 20 connected to the discharge port 10 on one side 8 or the other side 9 of the receiving body 1 located on the upper side is closed. When the human body lies on its back, the open / close valves 21 of all the discharge pipes 20 are opened.
In addition, an excrement detection sensor 32 that detects the presence or absence of excrement E is provided on the rear side portion 4 of the receiver 1. Based on the detection of the excrement detection sensor 32, the control unit 30 is operated, and the water supply pump 15 and the suction pump 17 are driven in the procedure described later.

  Therefore, according to the excrement automatic processing apparatus S according to this embodiment, the following operations are performed. In a state where the receptacle 1 is attached to the crotch portion of the human body, the excretion detection sensor 32 detects the presence or absence of the excrement E. In the non-excretion state, since the excretion detection sensor 32 detects the absence of the excretion E, the device S is in a stopped state.

  Then, when the human body excretes the excrement E, the excretion detection sensor 32 detects the presence of the excrement E, and the control unit 30 operates based on this detection, and the water supply pump 15 and the suction pump 17 at a predetermined timing. Drive. First, for example, the cleaning nozzle 13 is driven, water is ejected from the nozzle 13 to clean the human body, and the excrement E is concentrated in the space of the buffer unit 11 by this water. In this case, since the excrement E can be gathered to some extent by the buffer part 11, it becomes easy to guide to the discharge pipe 20, and discharge | emission of the excrement E after that can be made easy.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, since water is sprayed from the ejection guide nozzle 12 toward the discharge port 10 in the buffer unit 11, the excrement E is pushed by the discharge port 10. It enters the discharge pipe 20. In this case, since the excrement E comes to be pushed into the discharge port 10, the excrement E can be easily guided to the discharge pipe 20, and the subsequent discharge can be facilitated accordingly.
Furthermore, the suction pump 17 is driven, and the excrement E enters the discharge pipe 20 by this suction.

At this time, when the human body is in the supine position, both of the opening / closing valves 21 of the pair of discharge pipes 20 connected to the discharge ports 10 on the one side 8 and the other side 9 of the receiver 1 are open, The excrement E moves toward the two buffer portions 11 along the bottom surface 2a of the concave portion 2, and temporarily stops at the buffer portion 11, and then enters the two discharge pipes 20.
In addition, when the human body is in the recumbent position, the sensor 31 detects the vertical position of the one side 8 and the other side 9 of the receiving body 1, and the control unit 30 is operated based on this detection, and the one side located on the lower side The opening / closing valve 21 of the discharge pipe 20 connected to the discharge port 10 on the 8 or the other side 9 is opened, and the opening / closing valve 21 of the discharge pipe 20 connected to the discharge port 10 on the one side 8 or the other side 9 located on the upper side. Is closed. The excrement E moves to the side surface 2b of the concave portion 2 on the one side 8 or the other side 9 of the receptacle 1 positioned on the lower side, and is biased along the side surface 2b. After moving toward the buffer portion 11 on the side 9 and temporarily stopped by the buffer portion 11, the excrement E enters the discharge pipe 20 located on the lower side. In this case, since the suction in the discharge pipe 20 on the side where there is no discharge E located on the upper side can be stopped, it is possible to prevent a situation in which only the air is sucked and give unpleasant feeling to the human body.

That is, since the buffer part 11 has a surface that is continuous with the bottom surface 2a and the side surface 2b of the recess 2, the bottom surface 2a and the side surface of the recess 2 are located in any position in the supine position and the lying position. It becomes easy to move toward the buffer part 11 along 2b, and the excrement E can be collected in the buffer part 11 more reliably. Then, the water ejected from the ejection guide nozzle 12 and the cleaning nozzle 13 and the excrement E temporarily stopped in the buffer unit 11 can be reliably pushed into the discharge pipe 20 by the suction of the suction pump 17. Moreover, since the sensor 31 detects the vertical position of the one side 8 and the other side 9 of the receiving body 1, even if the body position changes during the discharge, the discharge pipe 20 positioned on the lower side is surely provided. Excrement E enters.
Then, the excrement E that has entered the discharge pipe 20 is accommodated in the filth tank 16 by the suction of the suction pump 17.

  In this apparatus S, since one or more discharge ports 10 are provided on each of the one side 8 and the other side 9, the discharge port provided on the moved side, regardless of which side the excrement E moves or deviates. Therefore, the excrement E is sufficiently discharged as compared with the prior art. Therefore, the residue of the discharge | emission E is prevented, generation | occurrence | production of a bad smell and various germs can be prevented, and the receiving body 1 can be kept clean. Further, since the discharge pipe 20 extends and is connected to the toe side of the human body, the discharge pipe 20 is less likely to collide with the leg, and therefore, the discharge pipe 20 can be made difficult to get in the way. Furthermore, since the discharge port 10 on the one side 8 and the discharge port 10 on the other side 9 are provided in a symmetrical position with respect to the center line 7, when the human body lies down, the one side 8 and the other side 9 of the receiving body 1. Regardless of which side is located on the lower side, the excretion E is discharged under the same conditions.

  In this way, when the excrement E in the recess 2 of the receptacle 1 is discharged, the excrement detection sensor 32 detects absence, and based on this detection, the control unit 30 stops and the water pump 15 and The drive of the suction pump 17 is stopped, and a standby state is entered.

  When the apparatus S is not used, the receptacle 1 is removed from the human body. When the excrement E remains in the discharge pipe 20 slightly, the suction pump 17 is driven while water is put into the receptacle 1 when not attached. Thereby, the excrement E slightly remaining in the discharge pipe 20 is accommodated in the sewage tank 16 together with water, and the inside of the discharge pipe 20 can be cleaned.

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although the receiving body 1 was made into said shape, it is not necessarily limited to this, You may change suitably.
