Description

  The present invention relates to a urine recovery funnel that enables urine separation and recovery to be attached to a Western-style toilet at the time of water outage and to collect only urine at the time of urination.

  Although disasters such as earthquakes are anticipated, there are many buildings that are more robust than designated shelters in the city center, and there is no damage to the buildings or facilities themselves, but the toilets become unusable due to power outages or water outages, resulting in shelters A situation of blame can occur. If everyone can be prepared cheaply without having to worry about forecasting the number of people to use and the period of water outage when storing toilets for disaster prevention, they will not bother to go to temporary toilets and reduce the congestion of shelter toilets. .

  There are many emergency toilets on the market that use a large bag in a toilet when water is shut down, put a coagulant, and become trash waste that cannot be discarded, but collect trash waste that cannot be discarded at the same time as general household waste. Then, it will explode in the garbage truck and contaminate it, so it will be collected separately, but it can be imagined that it will be discarded as soon as possible, ignoring the rules, and inconvenience near the dump. We want to reduce the burden of storing and carrying out large amounts of trash, and reducing the burden of collection work and disposal facilities by the public authorities.

  If there is no damage to the toilet bowl in the event of a disaster, instead of installing a built-in toilet bowl etc. elsewhere, you want to maintain the familiar space and feeling of use by using the toilet bowl as it is. The above-mentioned patent document 1 is a thing that puts a large bag on a toilet bowl, and it is desirable that there is no concern about environmental pollution even if it is buried in the soil. It seems to be difficult, and most of them are treated as combustible waste containing coagulant and cannot be discarded. In addition, using a large bag over an existing toilet bowl and using it without distinction between large and small urinals has a sense of disgust in vision and olfaction, and removal, storage, and movement of heavy, stuffed bags is a burden on the elderly. Seem.

  Patent Document 2 is a portable toilet that is placed on the toilet seat and discarded every time. It is easy to attach and detach, and can be used in addition to existing toilets. There is a problem that the amount of combustible waste that cannot be disposed of is increased.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, it is formed of a resin having waterproofness and flexibility, and the upper end has a substantially circular shape along the inner surface of the western-style toilet rim, and the shape of the lower end is gradually narrowed to the funnel constriction. A funnel tube portion and a stenosis tube portion formed continuously from the funnel stenosis portion. The stenosis tube portion is a toilet in which the funnel stenosis portion is located when the funnel tube portion is mounted in a Western-style toilet. There is provided a urine collection funnel characterized by being a stenosis tube portion having a length that can be connected to an external container located outside the toilet bowl from the inside through the upper surface of the toilet rim portion.

  Connect this device and an external container for storing urine, and install this device in a Western-style toilet, and do not put solids such as toilet paper after urination. Since it flows down to the container, it will all flow. If there is, wash with about half a cup of water, lift it again, transfer it to the external container, install it again in the toilet, and if you add about half a cup of water to the inside of the discharge tube that is thin and trapped Accumulated odor does not flow back.

  Urine that accumulates in a large amount in the external container is plugged, transported to the sewer pipe and designated place, and urine is discarded. If the solid is not mixed, the burden is small in carrying out and purification.

  The outer container is recommended to withstand repeated use. When excreting stool, we recommend a device that uses a sachet on the device for stool use, but the number of uses affects the stockpile. However, the amount of urine collected using this device is not greatly affected by prolonged water outages and the number of users during disaster prevention stockpiling.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The whole block diagram of Example 1 for implementing this invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The whole figure of the urine collection funnel of Example 1 for implementing this invention. The side view of the urine collection funnel of Example 2 for implementing this invention.

  Examples 1 and 2 will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  The basic structure of the urine recovery funnel is the funnel shape shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes a funnel-shaped tube portion having a wide opening and the lower end portion thereof being gradually narrowed, and reference numeral 7 denotes a funnel constriction portion having a narrowest inner diameter. Reference numeral 2 denotes a stenosis tube portion that continues thereafter.

  FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a western-style toilet body, and 11 denotes a toilet rim portion at the top of the western-style toilet body 10. A toilet seat 15 is connected to the western-style toilet body 10 and opens and closes. Reference numeral 13 denotes an external container for storing urine placed beside the Western-style toilet body 10, and reference numeral 14 denotes an external container connection part for connection to the stenosis tube part. 4 is a flange portion formed at the upper end of the funnel-shaped cylinder portion 6, and 3 is a handle attached to the left and right of the flange portion. Reference numeral 5 denotes a stenosis tube connecting portion provided in the stenosis tube portion.

  The urine recovery funnel 1 of this embodiment is adapted to a Western style toilet, is configured to be used for a toilet in a drought state such as when water is shut off, and is formed of a resin having waterproofness and flexibility.

  The funnel-shaped tubular portion 6 is formed with a substantially circular shape along the inner surface of the toilet rim portion 11 at the top of the western toilet body 10 and having a wide opening, and is gradually squeezed while having a curve similar to the shape inside the western toilet body 10. The funnel constriction part 7 where the inner diameter of the funnel-shaped cylinder part 6 is the narrowest is formed so as to reach a shape approximately 10 cm above the inner bottom of the western toilet body 10. The material of the funnel-shaped cylindrical portion 6 seems to be suitable as polyethylene having a thickness of about 0.05 mm to 0.12 mm as a material having waterproofness and flexibility. Except for the portion where the handle 3 is attached, it is assumed that the amount of urine for one batch will flow down immediately, so that no excessive load is applied. However, even with a weighted material such as rubber or silicon, the operability is likely to be improved during repeated insertion and removal in the toilet bowl.

  A flange portion 4 is formed on the upper surface of the toilet rim portion 11 so as to extend to the upper end portion of the funnel-shaped cylindrical portion 6 for easy mounting on the toilet bowl and operability during lifting, and the toilet rim portion 11 and the funnel shape are formed. The effect which prevents the wrinkles and drop which can be made between the cylinder parts 6 is acquired. The flange 4 has a thickness that allows several sheets of the same material to be fused to maintain a substantially circular shape. However, the flange 4 should have a thickness that can hinder the stability of the toilet seat 15 when the toilet seat 15 is lowered. must not.

  Furthermore, the handle 3 is attached to the left and right of the flange portion 4 to further improve the operability when mounting and lifting the interior of the western style toilet body 10. Although the shape of the handle is not specified, the handle 3 of FIG. 1 is formed of a hard resin having a length of 10 cm and an inverted U shape that hangs 4 cm on both ends across the width of the toilet rim portion 11 of about 5 cm. Attached to the left and right sides of the flange portion 4 respectively.

  The shape of the urine collection funnel 1 shifts from the funnel-shaped tube portion 6 to the stenosis tube portion 2 via the funnel stenosis portion 7, and in the vicinity of the funnel stenosis portion 7, the funnel-shaped tube portion 6 and the stenosis tube portion 2 and the stenosis tube connecting portion 5 is provided and both are connected to each other, so that the stenosis tube connecting portion 5 becomes a little weight rather than being integrally molded, so that it can be easily installed in the toilet. The position of the stenosis tube connecting portion 5 may be above or below the funnel stenosis portion 7 for convenience of molding. Further, when the thickness of the funnel-shaped tube portion 6 is 0.06 mm or more, the constricted tube portion 2 is formed of thinner polyethylene, thereby taking measures to prevent odor backflow when there is no small amount of water. It seems to be easier. In the trial production, there was no problem even with a commercially available umbrella bag having a thickness of 0.01 mm in the portion of the stenosis tube portion 2. In addition, the length of the toilet bowl in the western style toilet is deep, and when considering the distance from the location of the external container, it is considered to be an appropriate range for the operation of lifting the urine by 35cm to 60cm. It is. However, in the new toilet, if the inside of the toilet is shallow, or if the urine rebound or the installation of a stool is not taken into consideration, the length can be shortened.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the urine collection funnel 1 that forms the first embodiment as described above has the lower end of the stenosis tube portion 2 attached to and detached from the external container 13 for storing urine placed beside the depleted Western-style toilet body 10. It connects in the flexible external container connection part 14. FIG. Hold the handle 3 of the urine recovery funnel 1, lower the funnel constriction 7 from just above the western toilet body 10 to the vicinity of the bottom of the toilet, and place the flange 4 on the toilet rim 11. The hand 3 is used by being hung on the toilet rim portion 11.

  Since this device is a device that separates and collects only liquid during urine-only defecation, another device, method, etc. should be used repeatedly during stool, and solids such as stool and toilet paper should not be placed. In addition, it is basic to deal with after use once each time.

  After urination, the handle 3 of the urine collection funnel 1 containing only urine is lifted and the urine is allowed to flow down to the external container 13 to which each is connected. The urine collection funnel 1 is attached to the Western-style toilet body 10 and used repeatedly as before, but if there is about half a cup of water, it is washed on the dirty part of the urine collection funnel 1 and then lifted again to remove the water. Flow down to the external container 13. Similarly, if it is attached to the Western-style toilet body 10 again, and about half a glass of water is injected into the urine collection funnel 1, the odor stays in the narrowed S-trap-shaped stenosis tube portion 2 and the odor does not substantially flow back. . If there is no water at all, it smells somewhat, but the back flow of odor is reduced by using any means such as sandwiching the stenosis tube 2 or pressing.

  When discarding urine collected in the external container 13, the stenosis tube part 2 is removed at the external container connection part 14, and the external container 13 is plugged and carried to a sewer pipe or a designated place and discarded. Similarly, the outer container 13 is connected to the stenosis tube portion 2 again and used repeatedly. When the container is disposed, the container can be sealed and solids are not mixed, and it is easier to carry out, and the burden on the purification facility in the event of a disaster can be reduced.

  Unlike the first embodiment, the urine recovery funnel 1 according to the second embodiment is formed without being separated in the funnel constriction portion 7, so that the urine can flow smoothly without any slight residue at the connection portion. However, depending on the material, it may be difficult to follow the inner shape of the Western-style toilet body 10 when folding. The urine collection funnel 1 is formed of polyethylene having a thickness of about 0.05 mm, is not provided with a flange, and is folded back at the upper end of the funnel-shaped tube portion 6 by about 2 cm to form a tube, and the end is fused, A substantially circular shape is maintained so that no parts can be made through the resin frame. The handle 3 is attached to the left and right, and the handle 3 is hung on the toilet rim 11 and used in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

  If the private toilet itself cannot be used due to damage, etc., a urine collection funnel 1 constructed in the same manner as in the previous embodiment is made on the floor by using a cardboard or the like to make a rectangular frame with a height of about 10 cm. If the external container 13 connected in the external container connection part 14 is placed beside the container, the urine collection funnel 1 is lowered at the center of the cardboard frame, and the handle 3 is hung on the left and right of the cardboard frame. Can be used as

  It is supposed to be used in the event of an emergency such as an earthquake disaster, but it can also be applied to droughts that occur in some areas and urine collection tests for people with handicap.
