  FIG. 4 shows an example of the diaper cup 100 viewed from the back side. The cup body 200 may include a connection terminal 252, a hot air supply port 254, a cleaning liquid supply port 256, and an excretion port 258.

  The connection terminal 252 is electrically connected to various sensors incorporated in the diaper cup 100, such as a defecation sensor and a urination sensor. The connection terminal 252 may be electrically connected to the automatic excretion processing device 20 via the pipe 22. The hot air supply port 254 may receive the hot air provided by the automatic excretion processing device 20 via the pipe 22. The hot air received by the hot air supply port 254 may be discharged from any location on the inner surface of the cup body 200.

  The cleaning liquid supply port 256 may receive the cleaning liquid provided by the automatic excretion processing device 20 via the pipe 22. The cleaning liquid received by the cleaning liquid supply port 256 may be discharged from any location on the inner surface of the cup body 200. The excretion port 258 may be a port for sucking and removing the excrement of the user 10 and the cleaning liquid provided to the cleaning liquid supply port 256 from the cup body 200 to the outside. The piping 22 is connected to the excretion port 258.

  The collar unit 400 may have a concavo-convex structure 430 on the back surface 414. The uneven structure 430 may include a shape that generates a force that moves the buttock unit 400 toward the user 10 when the buttock unit 400 is pressed in a direction from the support surface 412 toward the back surface 414.

  The buttock unit 400 does not have to have the uneven structure 430 at the position corresponding to the sacrum of the user 10 on the back surface 414. Thereby, it can prevent that the uneven structure 430 presses the sacrum of the user 10 pressed on the support surface 412, and gives the user 10 discomfort. Moreover, the thickness of the position corresponding to the sacrum of the user 10 may be thinner than the thickness of the position where the buttocks unit 400 has the uneven structure 430. Thereby, the repulsive force of the buttocks unit 400 with respect to the sacrum of the user 10 pressed against the support surface 412 can be reduced.

  The buttocks unit 400 may have a recess 440 at a position corresponding to the sacrum of the user 10 on the back surface 414. Thereby, the repulsive force of the buttocks unit 400 with respect to the sacrum of the user 10 can be suppressed, and the discomfort given to the user 10 can be reduced.

  As a configuration for preventing the buttocks unit 400 from being pressed against the sacrum of the user 10, it is conceivable to form a recess at a position corresponding to the sacrum on the support surface 412. However, when a depression is formed on the support surface 412 side, excrement, dust and the like are likely to accumulate in the depression. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by having the recess 440 on the back surface 414 side, in addition to preventing compression of the sacrum, it is possible to prevent accumulation of excrement and dust.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a cross section of the concavo-convex structure 430. The concavo-convex structure 430 may include an inclined surface 432 at the tip of the convex portion as a shape that generates a force that moves the buttock unit 400 toward the user 10. The inclined surface 432 may be a surface that is longer as the distance from the ground surface 502 with which the tip of the convex portion comes into contact is closer to the user 10 side.

  When the pressing unit 504 is applied to the buttocks unit 400, the convex part of the concavo-convex structure 430 bends toward the user side. And the repulsive force which generate | occur | produces by the bending of a convex part turns into the force 506 which moves the collar unit 400 to the user 10 side. Thereby, since the diaper cup 100 whole receives force in the direction pressed on the user 10 side, it can prevent that the diaper cup 100 shifts | deviates from a mounting position.

  Further, the concavo-convex structure 430 has a shape that generates a force to move the buttock unit 400 to the user 10 side, and the distance from the ground contact surface 502 with which the tip of the convex portion comes into contact is longer as it is closer to the user 10 side. A plurality of steps may be included.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the tray part 210 as viewed from above. The saucer unit 210 may include a defecation sensor 220 and a urination sensor 230. The defecation sensor 220 may be an infrared sensor. The defecation sensor 220 includes an irradiating unit that irradiates infrared rays and a light receiving unit that receives reflected light of infrared rays emitted from the irradiating unit, and detects defecation based on changes in reflected light depending on the presence or absence of excrement. Good.

  The urination sensor 230 may be a short detection sensor. The urination sensor 230 may have two pairs of metal rod-like electrodes having conductivity at the bottom of the tray part 210, and may detect the presence or absence of urination by a change in resistance value generated between each pair of electrodes.

  The defecation sensor 220 may include a first defecation sensor 222, a second defecation sensor 224, and a third defecation sensor 226. The first defecation sensor 222 may be provided at the center of the bottom of the tray part 210. The second defecation sensor 224 may be provided at a position away from the first defecation sensor 222 in the right hand direction of the user 10. The third defecation sensor 226 may be provided at a position away from the first defecation sensor 222 in the left hand direction of the user 10.

  The first defecation sensor 222, the second defecation sensor 224, and the third defecation sensor 226 can detect defecation even when the user 10 defecates while lying sideways. Specifically, when the user 10 is facing the front, the first defecation sensor 222 may sense defecation. When the user 10 has the left hand side down, the second defecation sensor 224 may detect defecation. When the user 10 has the right hand side down, the third defecation sensor 226 may detect defecation. Thereby, it is possible to prevent omission of defecation due to a change in the posture of the user 10.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the collar unit 400 of the diaper cup 100 demonstrated and demonstrated the example which has the uneven structure 430 in the back surface 414. However, the uneven structure 430 can be applied to other diaper cups. A diaper cup user may get up or turn over while wearing the diaper cup. In this case, the diaper cup may be displaced from the mounting position. On the other hand, by having the concavo-convex structure 430 on the back surface of the diaper cup 100, when the user lies on the bed with his face up, the diaper cup is moved to the user side by the pressing force toward the back surface. Force can be generated to adjust the position of the diaper cup.

  For example, a diaper cup has a saucer part that receives excrement from the excrement hole of a diaper, a rising part that rises from one end of the saucer part, receives the urine of the user and leads to the saucer part, and a diaper in front of the user. The front unit to support and the heel unit that supports the user's buttock, the buttock unit pressing in the direction from the support surface to the back surface, which is the opposite side of the support surface that supports the user's buttock And a buttock unit having a concavo-convex structure including a shape that generates a force to move the buttock unit to the user side.
