Description

  The present invention relates to an ostomate-compatible toilet device, and more specifically to an ostomate-compatible toilet and a filth treatment system that can be comfortably used by a patient who cannot defecate or urinate by himself with an artificial anus or bladder. .

In general, when a patient who needs a colostomy or an artificial bladder (mainly an ostomate in this application) uses a toilet, the user can use the toilet while standing on the wheelchair. Broadly divided.
For example, when a patient with relatively healthy legs and feet is standing up, the patient approaches the attached toilet and uses the stoma stool (hereinafter simply referred to as “stool”) stored in the abdominal stoma pouch. The operation of discharging toward the discharge port is performed.

  As a toilet suitable for such a use, as disclosed in, for example, Patent Literature 1, a stoma stool processing apparatus in which a top plate having a working end is supported by a leg member and a sink portion is provided on the surface of the top plate. Etc. have been proposed. According to this stoma stool processing apparatus, the sink portion is arranged at a position away from the work end of the top plate, and the sink portion and the work end edge are connected by a recess having a flat groove in the longitudinal direction at the bottom. Yes. For this reason, when a patient processes manure, the pouch worn on the patient can be placed in this grooved recess in the top plate to maintain a state in which the pouch is difficult to slide vertically and horizontally. It becomes possible to secure a state in which the defecation opening at the tip is not easily detached from the sink portion.

On the other hand, for a patient who is forced to use a wheelchair for some reason, it is difficult to use the toilet in a style that allows the user to use it while standing.
From such a background, as shown in the following Patent Documents 2 to 3, various techniques have been proposed that can execute a stoma pouch while sitting without standing.
Of these, for example, in Patent Document 3, for example, the depth H from the upper surface of the toilet body to the water surface is 200 to 250 mm, the front inner surface of the toilet bowl of the toilet body reaches the discharge port with a steep slope from the upper end, It has been proposed that the position of the outlet is provided near the center of the toilet body, or that the length L of the toilet bowl of the toilet body is in the range of 405 to 500 mm.

The height direction is set as the Z direction, and the direction perpendicular to the X direction and the Z direction is set as the Y direction. However, the definition relating to these directions is not used to limit the scope of the claims. Absent.

<< First Embodiment >>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an appearance of a waste disposal system 100 including an ostomate-compatible toilet 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the waste disposal system 100 according to the present embodiment includes an ostomate-compatible toilet 1, a drive mechanism 2 that moves the ostomate-facing toilet 1 at least relative to a wheelchair user O, and the drive mechanism 2. And a control device 3 for controlling.

Here, one of the points in which the waste disposal system 100 is greatly different from a toilet having a conventional structure is that the ostomate-compatible toilet 1 is configured to be able to advance and retreat at least with respect to a wheelchair user O by the drive mechanism 2. .
That is, as shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the ostomate-compatible toilet 1 is configured to be movable in the Z direction (also referred to as the first direction) that is the height direction by the drive mechanism 2.
Therefore, when the user of the wheelchair uses the ostomate-compatible toilet 1, the ostomate-compatible toilet 1 descends to the knee of the user sitting on the wheelchair (with the stoma pouch attached), and the ostomate-compatible toilet 1 is used. Defecation or urination using a stoma pouch is performed while standing still on the person's knee.

Next, the detailed structure of the ostomate-compatible toilet 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in the figure, the ostomate-compatible toilet 1 includes at least a pouch mounting portion 11 and a bowl 12, and the user can discharge the stool in the stoma pouch while riding on the wheelchair. There are features. Moreover, it is preferable that the bottom portion of the bowl 12 is a narrow throttle portion 12a that can be inserted between the knees of the user. In addition, the “bottom part of the bowl 12” in this embodiment refers to a part located below the pouch mounting part 11.

The pouch placement unit 11 is a member for placing a stoma pouch by a user in a wheelchair. Typically, the pouch mounting portion 11 constitutes a part of a bowl 12 described later, and at least a part thereof as shown by, for example, the overhang portion OH in FIGS. Has a structure like a thin plate protruding so as to overhang from the end of the bowl 12. However, the present invention is not limited to the above example. For example, the pouch mounting unit 11 may be configured separately from the bowl 12, and the pouch mounting unit 11 may be detachably attached to the bowl 12.
As is apparent from FIGS. 3A to 3C, the pouch mounting portion 11 has at least a mounting surface 11a (corresponding to the upper surface of the thin plate) on which the stoma pouch is mounted. The placement surface 11a is preferably inclined toward a discharge port 12b described later. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the mounting surface 11a has a discharge port 12b out of the mounting surface 11a so that its height decreases as it approaches the discharge port 12b from an opposing edge 11b described later. The height of the end on the side close to is set low.

Further, the pouch mounting portion 11 is opposed to the above-described user's abdomen, and a boundary between the facing edge 11b that is curved so that the corresponding surface is along the user's abdomen and a shelf 12j described later. However, it is preferable to include a narrow edge 11c configured such that the width decreases as the distance from the opposing edge 11b increases.
The pouch mounting portion 11 typically has a thin plate structure and is relatively thin in the Z direction. However, as shown in FIG. 3B, the opposing edge 11b has a predetermined length in the height direction. Then, it may be a surface facing the abdomen of the user.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the placement surface 11 a may be curved so that the center portion is recessed in the Y direction (the center portion is lower than the both end portions in the Z direction).

Moreover, as shown in FIG.3 (d), the user can position the pouch mounting part 11 near the base of both legs (near the hip joint) or the lowermost part of the abdomen while getting on the wheelchair. At this time, the pouch mounting portion 11 is at a lower position than the human body mounting portion of the stoma pouch. Next, the user who wears the stoma pouch makes a stool by squeezing the stoma pouch on the placement surface 11a, for example, when defecation is performed on the stoma pouch placed on the placement surface 11a of the pouch placement unit 11. Is discharged from the tip of the stoma pouch (an opening through which feces can be discharged is formed).
As described above, in the present embodiment, the stoma pouch is placed on the placement surface 11a of the pouch placement unit 11 (thin plate) while the user riding on the wheelchair is wearing the stoma pouch, and the stoma pouch is attached to the stoma pouch. There is also a feature in that feces are discharged from the tip.
For convenience of explanation, FIG. 3D is a diagram in which a tester who rides on a wheelchair uses the ostomate-compatible toilet 1.

The bowl 12 is a bowl-shaped container that is connected to the pouch mounting unit 11 including the mounting surface 11a and through which the stool in the stoma pouch flows.
More specifically, the bowl 12 of the present embodiment includes at least a narrow throttle portion 12a, a discharge port 12b, and an inclined surface 12c. In the present embodiment, the storage bottom 12e, the wall portion 12f, and the fluid discharge port are further included. 12g, the shelf part 12h, and the operation panel 12i are comprised.

The narrow throttle portion 12a is a portion that constitutes at least a part of the bottom portion of the bowl 12, and has a shape that can be inserted between the knees of a user who is still on the wheelchair and close to the human body.
More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the narrow throttle portion 12a of the present embodiment is squeezed toward the tip that is the lower end (like the so-called V-type or round bottom type ship bottom). It has a shape. More specifically, the narrow aperture portion 12a of the present embodiment is formed so as to become narrower (tapered) toward the lower end with respect to the width in the Y direction. Further, the narrow aperture portion 12a of the present embodiment is formed so as to become narrower (tapered) toward the lower end with respect to the width in the X direction. Further, the narrow throttle portion 12a of the present embodiment is formed so that the cross-sectional area increases from the storage bottom 12e upward with respect to the cross-sectional area in the Z direction.
The narrow aperture 12a only needs to have the shape as described above at least in the Y direction or the Z direction, and may have an arbitrary shape such as a shape other than the above in the X direction.
Further, the narrow aperture portion 12a is not limited to a mode in which, for example, the shape in the Y direction is uniformly narrowed to the lower end. That is, when viewed at least at the upper end portion and the lower end portion, the lower end portion only needs to be narrower than the upper end portion, and there may be a portion that is partially widened in the middle.

Here, when the user who gets on a wheelchair intends to open both knees, it is difficult to open both knees widely because the armrest of a wheelchair interferes. Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the bottom of the bowl 12 is the narrow throttle portion 12a, the narrow throttle portion 12a can be inserted between both knees without opening both knees wide.
Therefore, the user can bring the bowl 12 close to the abdomen while getting on the wheelchair, and can easily place the stoma pouch on the placement surface 11 a of the pouch placement unit 11.

The discharge port 12b is an opening for discharging the stool discharged from the user through the stoma pouch to the outside of the ostomate-compatible toilet 1. The discharge port 12b is connected to a known external discharge system (such as a sewer or excrement tank) via a discharge pipe 13, which will be described later, a negative pressure source (not shown), or the like.
Moreover, in this embodiment, the discharge port 12b is not provided in a part of the storage bottom 12e which is a bottom surface, but is provided in the opposing surface 12j on the opposite side to the pouch mounting part 11 in the X direction in the bowl 12. ing. Therefore, as is clear from FIGS. 3A and 3B, the opening of the discharge port 12b is arranged not to face the Z direction but to face the X direction.

The inclined surface 12 c is a surface that connects the discharge port 12 b and the pouch mounting unit 11. Therefore, when the user places the stoma pouch on the placement surface 11a and stool the stool, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the stool flows first on the inclined surface 12c toward the discharge port 12b. It will be.
The inclined surface 12c of this embodiment has a multi-stage configuration, and more specifically is configured to include a first inclined surface 12c ₁ and a second inclined surface 12c _2.
The first inclined surface 12 c ₁ is connected to the mounting surface 11 a of the pouch mounting unit 11, and the toilet article first flows from the pouch mounting unit 11. Incidentally, the placement surface 11a and the first inclined surface 12c ₁ is not necessarily contiguous, described below, for example the wall portion 12f may be interposed.

The second inclined surface 12c ₂ is located between the first inclined surface 12c ₁ and the storage bottom 12e. The second inclined surface 12c ₂ is different from the first inclined surface 12c ₁ in the degree of inclination (inclination angle). In the present embodiment, the second inclined surface 12c ₂ has a higher degree of verticality (that is, the first inclined surface 12c ₂ ). than the surface 12c _1, a large angle between the X-axis).
Thus, the vertical high degree of the second inclined plane 12c ₂ and the reservoir bottom 12e, between the second inclined surface 12c ₂ and the outlet 12b, reservoir 12d for temporarily storing the stool was formed ing.
Therefore, since the stool discharged from the stoma pouch temporarily stops in the storage part 12d, the user can observe the stool collected in the storage part 12d.
In the present embodiment, the storage unit 12d is not always submerged, and the specification is such that water or other liquid flows when the toilet is discharged. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a predetermined amount of liquid is always stored. It may be.

The storage bottom 12e is located at the lowest end (end in the −Z direction) of the bowl 12 in the range in which the feces flow. The storage bottom 12e is positioned so as to be sandwiched between shelf parts 12h described later, and forms the above-described storage part 12d.
Note that the storage bottom 12e of the present embodiment may have a rectangular shape or a circular shape when viewed from above in the Z direction.

The wall portion 12f is provided so as to surround the inclined surface 12c at the end portion or in the middle of the inclined surface 12c. In this embodiment, the wall portion 12f is provided between the mounting surface 11a and the first inclined surface 12c ₁ of the pouch mount 11. Therefore, it can be said that the wall portion 12f is provided as a part of the first inclined surface in the present embodiment.
The wall portion 12f is provided with only one or a plurality of fluid discharge ports 12g described later.
In the present embodiment, for example, when the stool collected in the storage unit 12d is discharged from the discharge port 12b, when the bowl 12 including the inclined surface 12c is washed, or when the user operates the operation panel 12i described later, The fluid is configured to flow from the fluid discharge port 12g toward the discharge port 12b.

The bowl 12 is provided with a sensor (such as a gyro sensor) for detecting the tilt, and the control device 3 described later causes the fluid to flow from the fluid discharge port 12g toward the discharge port 12b based on the detection result of the tilt of the bowl 12. It may be. Thereby, for example, when the bowl 12 is excessively tilted, it is possible to suppress the backflow of the feces.
Further, when detecting the movement of the ostomate-compatible toilet 1 (that is, at the initial stage of use), the control device 3 may first flow the fluid from the fluid discharge port 12g toward the discharge port 12b.

The fluid discharge port 12g is connected to a fluid source (not shown), and a plurality of fluid discharge ports 12g are provided on the wall portion 12f so as to surround the storage portion 12d.
In FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, etc., the piping connecting the fluid source and the fluid discharge port 12g is omitted for simplification of description, but various known piping can be applied.
Moreover, there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the fluid discharged from the fluid discharge port 12g, For example, liquids, such as gas, such as air, and cleaning liquid containing water and a chemical | drug | medicine, are mentioned.
In the present embodiment, a known water supply is adopted as the fluid source, and water is discharged from the fluid discharge port 12g.

The shelf part 12h is arrange | positioned at the both sides of the pouch mounting part 11 and the inclined surface 12c, as shown to Fig.3 (a)-(d). The shelf portion 12h of the present embodiment is configured such that the height gradually increases from the pouch mounting portion 11 toward the facing surface 12j.
The shelf 12h is provided with an operation panel 12i, which will be described later, so that the user can easily operate the operation panel 12i simply by reaching out. In other words, it can be said that the operation panel 12 i is installed on the side of the pouch mounting unit 11 in the bowl 12.
In addition, the shelf part 12h may be provided with a wiping paper, a cleaning liquid pot, or the like used when the user discharges the toilet from the stoma pouch.

The operation panel 12i constitutes a part of an input / output IF (interface) 3f described later in the present embodiment, and the user can execute a desired operation via the operation panel 12i. In the present embodiment, the touch panel type liquid crystal of the capacitance type is used for the operation panel 12i, but other known forms such as a button input type may be adopted.
The user can perform an operation of flowing a fluid (a gas such as air or a liquid such as water or a cleaning liquid) from the fluid discharge port 12g toward the discharge port 12b via the operation panel 12i. Further, the user can perform an operation of turning on a lighting device (not shown) installed on the wall portion 12f via the operation panel 12i. Further, the user can perform an operation of adjusting the position of the ostomate-compatible toilet 1 by moving a drive mechanism 2 described later via the operation panel 12i.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3A, the discharge pipe 13 is connected to the discharge port 12b and connected to the above-described external discharge system via a negative pressure source.
There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the material of this discharge pipe 13, Various well-known members, such as water resistant resin, are applicable.
As described above, in the present embodiment, since the opening of the discharge port 12b faces the X direction, the discharge pipe 13 connected to the discharge port 12b is also drawn out in the horizontal direction (X direction). . Thereby, the discharge pipe 13 of this embodiment can be pulled out in the direction opposite to the pouch mounting part 11 from the discharge port 12b so as not to interfere with the knee of the user who gets on the wheelchair.
In this embodiment, since the ostomate-compatible toilet 1 is movable in the Z direction, the discharge pipe 13 has flexibility (such as a bellows structure) that allows the ostomate-compatible toilet 1 to move in the Z direction. Or a surplus length that allows the movement.

Next, the drive mechanism 2 of this embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. 1 and FIG.
