[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an excrement disposal device for treating excrement discharged from a wearer (patient).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to treat excrement discharged from a wearer, that is, stool or urine, an excrement receiving cup attached to the wearer by using a holder is often used. Usually, the excrement receiving cup has a stool receiving cup that receives stool and a urine receiving cup that receives urine, and the excrement discharged into the receiving cup is discharged to the outside of the receiving cup by suction. To be done. The holder is of a diaper type (pants type) that entirely covers the wearer's waist and thighs (see, for example, Japanese Patent No. 3020005, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-104820, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-322868). ). In addition, it is also practiced to supply a cleaning liquid into the receiving cup so that not only the receiving cup but also the wearer's anus and genital area can be cleaned.

The feces discharged into the receiving cup are sucked to the outside through the suction tube as they are discharged from the wearer without any special treatment. When feces and urine are discharged into the receiving cup, the feces and urine are mixed and sucked to the outside through a suction tube.

[0004]

Conventionally, since the feces excreted in the receiving cup are simply sucked and discharged by the suction tube, there is a problem that the suction tube is easily clogged. Further, it is necessary to increase the diameter of the suction tube, which makes the suction tube bulky and difficult to handle, and also causes a deterioration in the appearance.
In addition to the above, in order to effectively suck the stool that has been discharged to the receiving cup, a considerably large suction force is required, which causes a large stool discharge device (larger suction pump). It was also accompanied.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an excrement disposal device capable of easily ejecting feces excreted in a feces receiving cup. is there.

The stool discharged into the stool receiving cup is set to be successively crushed by the movement of the liquid ejected from the nozzle.
As described above, since the feces in the feces receiving cup are discharged after being crushed, the feces can be easily discharged and the clogging of the discharging route can be prevented or reduced. Further, since it is only necessary to discharge the crushed stool, it is possible to easily discharge the stool without using a large-sized pump or a large-diameter discharge tube as the stool discharge device. As a matter of course, since the stool is crushed, the situation that the stool remains attached to the inner surface of the stool receiving cup is prevented or reduced. In addition to the above, the liquid ejected from the nozzle fulfills the function of a kind of moving cutter, and the stool crushing effect can be made extremely high.

On the premise of the above solution method, the following method can be adopted together. That is, the stool discharge device further includes a cleaning liquid supply unit that supplies a cleaning liquid into the stool receiving cup, and the stool discharge device mixes the stool crushed by the stool crushing unit with the cleaning liquid supplied into the stool receiving cup. It is possible to discharge it by doing so (corresponding to claim 2). In this case, the crushed stool is discharged in a mixed state with the cleaning liquid, that is, in a state where the fluidity is sufficiently enhanced, so that the discharge is performed more effectively and the clogging of the discharge route is more reliably prevented. can do. Further, it is more preferable for preventing the situation where the stool remains attached to the inner surface of the stool receiving cup, that is, for keeping the stool receiving cup clean.

The feces ejecting device may be set to eject feces crushed in the feces receiving cup by suction to the outside of the feces receiving cup (corresponding to claim 3). . In this case, the cleaning liquid is also sucked, and the suction effect is dramatically improved. This makes it possible to reduce the diameter of the stool discharge path, that is, the suction path, and it is only necessary to use a small suction pump.

The entire peripheral edge of the receiving port may be covered with a soft sealing material that abuts against the wearer (corresponding to claim 4). In this case, it is possible to reduce the feeling of pressure on the wearer and improve the suction effect.

The liquid ejected from the nozzle is set to have a narrow width in the left-right direction and the predetermined spread angle in the front-rear direction, and the predetermined spread angle is ejected from the nozzle. Is set so that the angle range reaches the wearer's anus,

FIG. 31 shows a third example of the stool crushing apparatus. In FIG. 31, 170 is a stool crushing device, and 182 is a nozzle driving device. The nozzle driving device 182 uses kinetic energy of fluid as a power source. That is, the water turbine (rotating body and serving as a drive source) 230 is arranged in the auxiliary equipment room 160d of the toilet receiving cup 160. A discharge pipe 231 branched from the first introduction pipe 177 is connected to the inlet of the water turbine 230. The outlet of the water turbine 230 and the toilet cup 1
The defecation passage 162 of 60 is connected by the discharge pipe 232. Then, a connecting rod 190 is connected to the output shaft of the water turbine 230 via the same crank web 189 as described above, and an end portion of the connecting rod 190 is connected to a rack 191 slidably attached to a rack holder 192. . The rack 191 is meshed with a pinion gear 193 attached to the rear side of the discharge pipe 175.

As a result, part of the water pumped to the first introduction pipe 177 is supplied to the water turbine 230 by the discharge pipe 231, and the water turbine 230 is rotated. The rotary motion of the water turbine 230 is converted into a linear reciprocating motion by the crank web 189 and the connecting rod 190 as in the first example, and the rack 191 is vertically reciprocated. By the reciprocating motion of the rack 191, the first nozzle 173 is oscillated to the left and right at a predetermined angle. Further, the water discharged from the discharge port of the water turbine 60 is discharged to the defecation path 162 of the toilet cup 160 via the discharge pipe 232. The output shaft of the water turbine 230 and the discharge pipe 175 are connected by a gear or a pulley and a belt, and the first nozzle 173 is connected via the discharge pipe 175.

The lower blades 234a of the water turbine 234 are exposed in the defecation passage 162. An air inlet 235 is formed on the upper wall of the toilet 160c, and a valve 236 for opening and closing the air inlet 235 is provided.

The valve 236 is a reed valve that opens when the toilet chamber 160c has a negative pressure to allow outside air to flow into the toilet chamber 160c and closes the inlet 235 when the negative pressure of the toilet chamber 160c is released. Has been done. A drive pulley 237 is attached to the output shaft of the water turbine 234, and a driven pulley 238 is attached to the rear side of the discharge pipe 175. Both pulleys 23
7 and 238 are connected by a belt 239.
As a result, as shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the suction pump 138 is activated when the stool sensor S1 issues a detection signal, and the negative pressure in the dirty water tank 136 causes the defecation passage 162 via the defecation hose 137. The filth inside and the air are moved backward. The water turbine 234 is rotated by the energy generated by the flow of dirt and air in the defecation channel 162. The rotation of the water wheel 234 causes the first nozzle 173 to rotate at a predetermined speed via the drive pulley 237, the belt 239, and the discharge pipe 175.

According to the third and fourth examples described above, the discharge force of the cleaning water supplied into the toilet cup 160 or the fluidity of the dirty water sucked and discharged from the toilet cup 160 is used. Since the first nozzle 173 is swung or rotated, the electric motor can be omitted, and the safety is improved.

Supplementary Explanation 1 (FIGS. 36 and 37)

36 and 37 show another example of the stool crushing device. The stool crushing device in this example can be used in an additional form when the stool crushing device already has a separate stool crushing device (there are two types of stool crushing device). It is also applicable to the case where the stool crushing device is not separately provided.
Only types). However, FIG. 36 exemplarily shows a case where it is applied to the toilet cup 10 shown in FIG. 4.

The stool crushing device 310 in this example is basically provided in the stool discharge path 312 (corresponding to the stool hose 47 in FIG. 4) extending from the stool receiving cup 10. That is, the stool crushing device 310 in this example is configured so that the stool discharge route 31
Thin cutting lines 310a, 3 provided so as to cross 2
It consists of 10b. In the embodiment, this thin cutting line 310 is used.
Two a and 310b are provided, and one cutting line 310a
Are arranged so as to extend in the diametrical direction of the stool discharge path 312 and in a substantially horizontal direction, and are arranged so as to vertically divide the inside of the stool discharge path 312 into two parts. The other cutting line 310b
Is disposed so as to extend in the diametrical direction of the stool discharge path 312 and in a substantially vertical direction.
It is arranged so as to be divided. In addition, each cutting line 310
Although a and 310b are arranged close to each other in the flow path direction of the feces discharge path 312, they may be integrated at the intersection in advance. Such cutting lines 310a, 3
Due to 10b, the inside of the feces discharge path 312 is divided into four places in the cross section viewed from the flow path direction.

The cutting lines 310a and 310b can be made of, for example, a metal wire such as a piano wire or a synthetic resin wire, but a high tensile strength wire is preferable. Cutting line 310a, 310
It is preferable that the thickness (diameter) of b is as thin as possible within the range so as not to be cut inadvertently. Specifically, the thickness of the cutting lines 310a and 310b can be set to about 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm when using a piano wire, for example.

Cutting lines 310a, 310b as described above
In the embodiment, is disposed outside the toilet cup 10 and near the toilet cup 10. Of course, cutting line 3
10a and 310b can also be provided in the toilet cup 10.

When the feces in the feces receiving cup 10 are discharged to the outside by suction, the feces are discharged together with the cleaning liquid in the feces discharge path 31.
Flowing through 2 vigorously. At this time, the flights that flow vigorously are
The cutting line 31a is brought into contact with the cutting lines 310a and 310b.
It will be cut when passing through 0a and 310b (cutting into four parts). By flowing the cleaning liquid at the same time,
The resistance of the stool flowing in the stool discharge path 312 also decreases, and the stool is smoothly cut by the cutting lines 310a and 310b. Note that the cleaning liquid may be prevented from flowing when the feces are discharged.

The cutting lines 310a and 310b described above are used.
36 may be, for example, only one, or two or more in the vertical direction in FIG. 36, or two or more in the horizontal direction in FIG. 36. Furthermore, the cutting line 31
0a, 310b may be configured as a tubular hose joint member so that the joint member is interposed in the middle of the hose forming the feces discharge path 312 (in this case, a toilet bowl without a feces crushing device). Even when using a cup, with a retrofit, a stool crusher or cutting line 310a,
310b can be equipped). Further, the stool cutting member in the stool crusher 310 includes cutting lines 310a, 310
It is also possible to use a thin cutter type instead of the linear type as in b. That is, it is possible to dispose the cutter so that the plate surface of the cutter is entirely along the flow direction of the stool discharge path and the blade of the cutter faces the upstream side of the stool discharge path 312.

Supplementary Explanation 2 (FIGS. 38 to 42)

38 to 42 show a preferred arrangement example of the urine discharge hose and the rotary joint when the toilet cup and the urine cup are separably formed as separate bodies. First, as the toilet cup 10 and the urine cup 25, for example, those shown in FIG. 4 are used. In this example, the rotary joint member 3
20 is outside the toilet cup 10 and the toilet cup 1
It is provided near 0. This rotating joint member 320
4 has a function similar to that of the joint member 21 and the like in FIG. 4, but is different from the case of FIG. 4 in that it is configured outside the toilet cup 10. That is,
The rotary joint member 320 includes a first member 321, a second member 322 rotatably connected to the first member 321, and a connector 3 for connecting various hoses to the second member 322.
23 and. Such a rotary joint member 320 is connected in the middle of the feces discharge hose 47 and the feces receiving cup cleaning liquid supply hose 42 in the vicinity of the feces receiving cup 10. As a result, the rotary joint member 320 can be externally attached to the toilet cup 10, and the twist of the hoses 47 and 42 does not act on the wearer.

The urine discharge hose 330 (corresponding to the urine discharge hose 27 in FIG. 4) extending from the urine receiving cup 25 is connected to the urine tank via the rotary joint member 320. In the urine discharge hose 330, the distance between the urine receiving cup 25 and the rotary joint member 320 is sufficiently long. That is, the urine discharge hose 330 extends rearward from the urine receiving cup 25 in a substantially horizontal direction, and then is curved upwardly at one end,
It is curved forward and then downward, and is finally connected to the rotary joint member 320. The loop portion 330a of the urine discharge hose 330, which is formed by the curved portion, is curved at about 270 degrees. With the configuration of the loop portion 330a, the loop portion 33
Urine discharge hose 330 between 0a and urine receiving cup 25
Urine easily collects inside (the looping action of the loop portion 330a), and the urine sensor S
Two are provided.

Due to the formation of the loop portion 330a, the urine discharge hose 330 has a portion which intersects the urine discharge hose 330 at an angle of approximately 90 degrees. A holding clip 340 is arranged at this intersection. This holding clip 34
0 has two hose holders 340a and 340b. The holding portions 340a and 340b are shown in FIGS.
As shown in 0, they are in the form of holes and are substantially orthogonal to each other. A urine discharge hose 330 is slidably penetrated through each of the holding portions 340a and 340b. Such a holding clip 340 can be formed of, for example, a synthetic resin.

By changing the position of the portion of the urine discharge hose 330 into which the holding clip 340 is inserted,
The relative position of the urine receiving cup 25 with respect to the toilet receiving cup 10 is adjusted. That is, the position of the urine receiving cup 25 in the front-rear direction is adjusted by changing the position of the portion of the urine discharge hose 330 that extends in the substantially horizontal direction with respect to the holding clip 340. Further, the vertical position of the urine receiving cup 25 is adjusted by changing the position of the urine discharge hose 330 that extends substantially vertically with respect to the holding clip 340.

41 and 42 show a modified example of the holding clip 340 shown in FIGS. 38 to 49, which is made of synthetic resin in the embodiment. The holding clip 345 of this example (corresponding to the holding clip 340) is a holding portion 345a for holding the urine discharge hose 330 slidably,
The 345b has a shape that is partially opened in the circumferential direction by a slit that extends over the entire length in the longitudinal direction. When the urine discharge hose 330 is inserted into the holding portions 345a and 345b, it is performed by elastically deforming the holding portions 345a and 345b so that the slits thereof are wide open.
Such a holding clip 345 is used for the urine drainage hose 33.
Even when 0 is already connected to the urine receiving cup 25 and the rotary joint member 320, it can be retrofitted to the urine discharge hose 330.

Supplementary explanation (FIGS. 43 and 44)

43 and 44 show a configuration for collecting urine in the example of FIG. 4, for example. In this example, a urine discharge path 52 that connects the urine receiving cup 25 and the urine tank 51
For this, an electromagnetic switching valve 360 is connected. This switching valve 360 is provided with the closed urine collector 3 via the path 362.
It is connected to the upper part of 61. Further, the suction port of the urine suction pump P3 is connected to the upper portion of the urine collector 361 via a path 363 that bypasses the urine tank 51. Switching valve 360
Attaches the urine receiving cup 25 to the urine tank 51 and the urine collector 361.
It selectively switches between and.

U3 is a controller for controlling urine collection, which is constructed by using, for example, a microcomputer. In addition to the urine detection signal from the urine sensor S2, an operation signal from the switch SW10 for manually inputting the time to start urine collection is input to the controller U3. The controller U3 controls the switching valve 360. The control by the controller U3 normally controls the switching position of the switching valve 361 to a position where the urine receiving cup 25 is connected to the urine tank 51. In addition, the controller U3 sets the switching position of the switching valve 361 to the position where the urine receiving cup 25 is connected to the urine collector 361 only when the predetermined urine collection timing is reached.

The timing for collecting urine in the urine collector 361 can be set as follows, for example. That is, first, the urine collection time (for example, 5:00 am) is set by manual setting. When the first urine among the urine discharged within a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) from the urine collection time is detected, the urine collection timing is set.

The control contents of the controller U3 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, in step T31, it is determined whether or not a predetermined manually set time (for example, 5:00 am) has come. When the determination in step T31 is YES, in step T32, it is determined whether or not urine is detected by the urine sensor S2. YE by the judgment of T32.
If S, then in step T33, in step T32
It is determined whether or not the urine detection time is within a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) from the set time of step T31. When the determination in step T33 is YES, in step T34, the switching valve 360 is set to the switching position for connecting the urine receiving cup 25 to the urine collecting device 361, and the urine in the urine receiving cup 25 is supplied to the urine collecting device 361. (Pump P3
Operates in response to urine detection). After step T34, T31
When the determination is NO, the determination of T32 is NO, or the determination of T33 is NO, the lean valve is leaned. At this time, the switching valve 361 connects the toilet cup 25 to the urine tank 51. It is set to the switching position. The cleaning liquid is supplied to the urine receiving cup 25 after the collection of urine in the urine collector 361 is completed.

The stool crushing liquid and the cleaning liquid may be separately supplied into the stool receiving cup. The toilet cup may also serve as the urine cup. In other words, as a large cup that can surround both the anus and the genital area, the space in the single large cup can be used as both the space for receiving feces and the space for receiving urine. Also, when the toilet cup and the urine cup are combined into a single large cup, the space inside the single large cup is divided into two upper and lower spaces by partition walls, and the lower space is separated from the toilet cup. The upper space may be configured as a urine receiving cup.

A feces discharge route and a urine discharge route are separately configured within a predetermined length range from the feces receiving cup and the urine receiving cup, and the urine collector is provided for the separately configured urine route. It is preferable to configure so that it can be selectively connected, because it enables to inspect fresh urine.

When the stool is crushed, the stool is discharged by suction while supplying the cleaning liquid (the stool is crushed, the cleaning liquid is supplied, and the stool is discharged at the same time). It is preferable for easy operation. Of course, after the stool crushing, the stool is discharged by suction while supplying the cleaning liquid, or after the stool crushing, the cleaning liquid is supplied and the stool is discharged after the start of the supply of the cleaning liquid. You can also Any two or more of the stool crushing devices disclosed in the embodiments can be used in combination.

In the holder shown in FIG. 2, the upper strings 8a and 8b as the two left and right upper hanging members may be assembled and connected to the string 8c as the lower hanging member.

In this case, each of the cups 10 and 25 may be connected to the upper strings 8a and 8b on the left and right sides thereof via elastic members such as short rubber bands. Although only one lower string 8c is shown in the embodiment, the number of the lower string 8c is substantially one because the lower string 8c is disposed between the left and right hips (butt splits). If so, for example, extend the upper strings 8a, 8b, and lower strings 8c
It can also be set to be used as (the two upper strings 8a, 8c are
Extends behind the wearer through the space between the left and right hips when assembled in a book).

When the toilet cup and the urine cup are separately configured, the rotary joints corresponding to the rotary joint 21 may be provided in the toilet cup and the urine cup, respectively.

In FIG. 21, the portion of the two upper belts 122 located between the toilet cup 100 and the urine cup 113 is substantially the same as the cups 100 and 113.
And functions as a connecting tool for restricting the vertical separation of the two. Therefore, the portion corresponding to this connecting tool is configured separately from the upper belt 122, and the upper belt 12
2 may be connected only to the urine receiving cup 113 (the toilet receiving cup 100 is
