Description

  The present invention relates to a diaper leakage report device that detects urine leakage of a diaper worn by a sick person, a disabled person, etc., and can notify a third party at a remote location.

If a sick person, elderly person, or disabled person wearing a diaper has a urinary leakage phenomenon, the diaper will become dirty until the caregiver notices if he / she has any hesitation in expressing the urine leakage. It is often left unattended, which causes the wearer to feel uncomfortable or unsanitary, which also has an adverse effect on the body. . Furthermore, a diaper that can be used repeatedly has a problem that it is not easy to wipe away when it is dirty and troublesome for washing.
Therefore, various proposals have been made for devices that can automatically detect when a urine leaks in a diaper, such as family members, nurses, etc., without announcing the person himself (for example, patents). References 1-3).
JP-A-11-2216154 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-602 JP 2006-349418 A

  The one described in Patent Document 1 is intended to automatically monitor the leakage detection of body fluid such as incontinence of a non-caregiver and wirelessly notify the caregiver, and is provided with a humidity sensor in the diaper. A tag is attached and an incontinence detection command is issued via radio from an incontinence monitoring device. The incontinence detection tag that receives the command measures the electrical resistance of the humidity sensor, converts it to a voltage, and compares it with a predetermined value. Determine whether there is incontinence and return the result to the incontinence monitor. If the incontinence monitoring data is incontinence data, the incontinence monitoring device wirelessly notifies the mobile terminal possessed by the caregiver to treat the incontinence of the non-caregiver. According to this technology, the incontinence detection tag attached to the diaper needs to be equipped with a humidity sensor, etc., so there is a concern that the feel when wearing the diaper will be worse, and the humidity sensor when it becomes an unnatural posture such as turning over There are disadvantages such as affecting the functions of the mobile phone, and the caregiver must constantly carry a portable terminal.

  The thing of patent document 2 judges whether it is within the limit which a user can endure even when diaper exchange may be overdue so that the number of diaper wettings or the elapse of the wetting time may be notified. The purpose is to make it possible. This technology requires components such as a wetness detection device, a wetness detection sensor, a conductive pattern, a lead wire, and an RF-ID tag in order to achieve multiple purposes different from a simple wetness notification device. In addition to the extra load, the manufacturing process may be complicated and the product may be expensive.

  The device described in Patent Document 3 uses an IC tag that detects the wet state of various parts that occur in daily life, a wetness detection system that flexibly responds to the wet state detected by the IC tag, and the IC tag. The present invention relates to a wetness detection diaper that can detect a wet state while reducing the burden on the wearer, and the wetness detection diaper is electrically connected to an IC chip storing predetermined information and the IC chip. By incorporating an IC tag having a non-contact communication antenna coil that transmits information to the outside through a predetermined external antenna at least at a predetermined position where feces and urine can be detected, radio waves transmitted from the external antenna can be received. It is characterized in that the wet state is detected based on whether or not a predetermined identification number can be transmitted. This technology is said to be able to reduce the burden on the wearer compared to the aforementioned Patent Documents 1 and 2 in that only the IC tag is attached to the diaper, but the IC tag used for the diaper can reliably detect the wet state. Therefore, there is a problem that the IC tag itself needs to be manufactured for a diaper, so that the cost is increased and the product is expensive.

  The present invention was made in view of such conventional circumstances, and the diaper can be worn without a sense of incongruity, but it is possible to detect urine leakage reliably and without delay to a third party such as a caregiver or nurse center in a remote location. It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple urine leak reporting device that can be easily informed and is easy to handle and can be provided at low cost.

  That is, the present invention is a shoplifting prevention tag with a frequency of 8.2 MHZ to be attached to a diaper, a detection mat connected wirelessly to the shoplifting prevention tag, and a detector main body that is connected to the detection mat via a cord and detects a frequency shift. A urine leak notification device for a diaper comprising: a sensing mat covered with a cloth cover and laid between a bed and a sheet.

  In addition, the present invention is a diaper urine leak notification device comprising a tag for shoplifting prevention with a frequency of 8.2 MHZ to be attached to a diaper and a detector body incorporating a small sensing mat, and the detector body is portable and shoplifted. It is characterized by being connected wirelessly to the prevention tag.

  Further, the present invention provides a urine leak comprising an LC resonance circuit tag to be attached to a diaper, a sensing mat connected to the LC resonance circuit circuit tag wirelessly, and a detector body connected to the sensing mat via a cord and detecting a frequency shift. The reporting device is characterized in that the sensing mat is covered with a cloth cover and laid between the bed and the sheet.

  The shoplifting prevention tag affixed to the diaper can be used as it is on the market, as used in rental video stores, so there is no need to make a new tag and there is no extra cost. Equipment can be provided at low cost. Moreover, since the shoplifting prevention tag is made of a thin and thin material, even if it is attached to a diaper, the wearer will not be aware of the weight, so there will be no inconvenience that burdens it.

  The sensing mat, which can be made of a flexible material, adapts to the body and is thin, so there is no sense of incongruity as it does not even feel its presence when lying down, and it is only laid between the bed and the sheet, so it can be handled Easy and can be installed close to the shoplifting prevention tag so that signals can be caught reliably. The surface is covered with a cloth cover so that it will not be damaged, and the cloth cover can be replaced arbitrarily to maintain durability. Can do.

  Referring to the drawings, the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows an outline of the combination of the proposed devices, and 10 is a known shoplifting prevention tag affixed to a product such as a rental video store, and has a size of about 5 cm in length and width. The film has a center frequency of 8.2 MHZ, and the frequency has a vertical width of about 5%. It is also widely known that when a product is held without passing through a reception and passed through a gate, a buzzer sounds to indicate that the product has been illegally taken out.

  Reference numeral 20 denotes a thin sensing mat that catches a signal from the shoplifting prevention tag 10. The sensing mat 20 is made of a flexible material such as a synthetic resin or rubber having a rectangular shape of about 50 cm × 60 cm, and a copper wire 21 serving as an antenna is disposed therein and has a thickness of about 3 to 4 mm. The copper wire 21 need only be a cord having a diameter of 2 centimeters, and it is not easily recognized that the mat outer surface is not formed with irregularities. The shoplifting prevention tag 10 is connected wirelessly and has a function of transmitting a signal transmitted from the tag to the outside.

  A detector body 30 is connected to the sensing mat 20 via a cord 40, and an adapter 50 having a power cord 51 is attached thereto. When a signal is transmitted from the sensing mat 20, the signal received by the detector body 30 is converted into sound or light by the external device 60, so that the caregiver can be notified directly of urine leakage, and a remote place such as a nurse The center will be notified immediately.

  The shoplifting prevention tag 10 acts on the store gate in normal 8.2 MHZ and exhibits an anti-theft effect, but loses its performance in a wet state and cannot play its original role. The present invention focuses on this point, that is, when the shoplifting prevention tag 10 becomes wet due to urine water, the frequency of 8.2 MHZ drops to 7.5 and 6.5, and the signal is detected by the sensing mat 20. The detector main body 30 takes in through. Although not shown, the detector main body 30 is composed of a high-frequency oscillation unit, a reception and detection circuit, a sensor detection unit, an alarm signal output unit, and the like, and detects a deviation of a signal taken from the sensing mat 20 and outputs a wetting signal. The output signal can be sent to an external device 60 such as an alarm lamp, buzzer, chime or the like connected to the detector main body 30 to notify the third party that urine leaked as light or sound.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of attachment of the proposed apparatus, and shows a state in which the shoplifting prevention tag 10, the sensing mat 20, and the detector main body 30 are arranged. That is, the shoplifting prevention tag 10 is directly attached to the inside of the wearer's diaper 70. Although there is no particular limitation on the attaching position, it is preferably in the vicinity of the tailbone where urine water is reliably caught, and it is optional to superimpose tissue paper or the like on the shoplifting prevention tag 10.

  The sensing mat 20 is laid between the bed 80 and the sheet 90 and faces a corresponding portion of the diaper 70 and is close to the shoplifting prevention tag 10. Since the sensing mat 20 is located immediately below the diaper 70, the frequency emitted from the shoplifting prevention tag 10 is reliably supplemented by the sensing mat 20. In addition, when a metal member is incorporated in the bed 80 and the signal cannot be sufficiently caught, a polystyrene foam or the like may be interposed at a corresponding portion of the sensing mat 20. Thus, the sensing mat 20 is covered with a detachable cloth cover 22 made of a non-woven fabric or the like as shown in FIG. 3, so that urine water is not directly applied to the mat. Further, by covering the cloth cover 22 in this way, the impact can be reduced, durability is maintained, and the cloth cover 22 can be easily replaced, and the hygienic state of the sensing mat 20 is maintained. Note that the cord 40 between the sensing mat 20 and the detector main body 30 is effectively a parallel line with left and right internal lines separated like a television antenna line.

  Since the detector main body 30 is not a large-sized one, it can be easily grasped with one hand and attached to an arbitrary position such as a side surface of the bed 80, and the adapter 50 is naturally installed on the floor surface other than that, for example. There will be no inconvenience. When information from the shoplifting prevention tag 10 is caught by the sensing mat 20 and an alarm sound or light is emitted from the external device 60 connected to the detector body 30, a caregiver or the like in the area recognizes that urine leaks. In addition, the diaper changing procedure can be performed without delay, and therefore, even if the diaper wearer is not aware of urine leakage, the hygienic environment is maintained by the quick procedure.

  The external device 60 has, for example, a nurse call for a hospital / specialty facility, a flashing display for a newborn, and a chime sound incorporating two AA batteries for home use. The field of use does not matter. Especially in hospitals where many people lie down in large rooms, when a urine leakage phenomenon occurs, it is natural for the person to be inconvenienced by being notified to the nurse center without being noticed by others. It is also preferable in that it can be treated without any problems.

  FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention that is portable, and is an example that the caregiver B possesses when the sick person A walks or goes out. In this case as well, the shoplifting prevention tag 10 having a frequency of 8.2 MHZ is affixed to the diaper 70, but a sensing mat (not shown) is incorporated in the detector main body 30 because it is different from that used in the bed. The diaper 70 and the sensing mat are not close to each other as on the bed, but the caregiver B carrying the detector body 30 sometimes places the detector body 30 near the diaper 70 of the sick person A to detect a frequency shift. What is necessary is just to perform a confirmation operation | work, and can tell the caregiver B the fact of urine leak by LED lighting reacting to the detector main body 30 by doing in this way.

  FIG. 5 schematically shows an apparatus using the LC resonant circuit tag 10 ′, that is, the LC resonant circuit tag 10 ′ is connected to the sensing mat 20 wirelessly, and the sensing mat 20 is connected to the detector main body 30 via the cord 40. The sensing mat 20 is covered with a cloth cover and laid between the bed and the sheet. The LC resonance circuit tag 10 'is also used for shoplifting prevention, and is of the same meaning as the shoplifting prevention tag described above. Therefore, in the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. Since it is the same as that of the embodiment using the prevention tag 10, other drawings and explanations are omitted.

  As described above, the present invention is a novel device whose main purpose is to use a commercially available shoplifting prevention tag 10 / LC resonance circuit tag 10 ', which cannot be known by conventional urine leakage prevention technology. Since the circuit system of the detector main body 30 overlaps with a general configuration, the details are omitted. In addition, the shape and numerical values shown in the embodiment and the like are within the scope of the present invention as long as the purpose and effect of the present invention are achieved, and the tissue is folded and stacked on the attached tag for sweat absorption. Needless to say, the additional matters belong to the category of the present technology without departing from the gist of the present invention.
