JPH0384128A - Stool for measuring urinary data - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the adhesion of feces by covering a test paper holder, which elevates and lowers test paper between the urine collecting section of a stool and an urinary data analyzer, in the stool for measuring urinary data and the lifting mechanism of the holder with a cover. CONSTITUTION:An urine collecting section 2 is formed to the ball section of a stool 1 while a mechanism forward moving and retreating a private part washer 6 and an urinary data analyzer 7 are arranged into a box section 3. A slider 13 is engaged with the frame 11 of a lifting mechanism 10, and the slider 13, a holder 14 and test paper 5 held to the holder are elevated and lowered between the collecting section 2 and the device 7 by a motor 15. A cover 20 composed of three divided bodies shaped in a telescopic type is extended with the elevation and lowering of the slider 13, and the slider 13 and the holder 14 are covered with the cover 20. Accordingly, the adhesion of feces onto the mechanism 10, etc. can be prevented.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a toilet bowl equipped with a urine data measurement function.

(Prior art) Devices for measuring urine data can be roughly divided into two types: those that suck urine through a poppet valve and drip the urine onto a test strip, and those that have a urine reservoir on a part of the bowl surface of the toilet bowl. There is a type in which the holder that holds the test strip moves back and forth between this urine reservoir and the urine data analyzer.
An example of the latter is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 64-53159.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Among the above-mentioned devices, those that directly collect pressure from the toilet bowl and transport it to the analyzer have piping to transport urine, so they tend to get clogged along the way and are also troublesome to clean. There are many issues such as: On the other hand, a device that moves the test strip up and down between the urine reservoir and the analyzer is mechanically simplified because piping, valves, etc. are not required.

However, since the test strip holder and lifting mechanism descend close to the urine reservoir, there is a risk that feces, etc. may adhere to the test strip and cause malfunction.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is based on the premise that the toilet for measuring urine data is of a type in which a test strip holder is moved up and down between the urine reservoir and the urine analyzer. , the holder is covered with a cover at least when it is in the lowest position.

(Function) If the holder is lowered directly above the urine pool to allow urine to adhere to the test strip or to discard the test strip, the holder will be covered with a cover even if the holder is used to defecate, so the feces will not adhere to the test strip. There's nothing to do.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet bowl according to a first embodiment of the present invention, in which a urine reservoir portion 2 is formed in the ball portion of the toilet bowl 1, which is lowered one step. Further, a box part 3 containing a low tank is provided at the rear of the toilet bowl 1, and an insertion M4 is provided at an intermediate position of the box part 3, and a new test strip 5 is inserted by opening the insertion lid.

In addition to a mechanism for advancing and retracting the private part cleaning device 6, inside the box section 3, a urine data analysis device 7 is arranged near the insertion lid 4, and furthermore, this urine data analysis device 7 and the urine reservoir section 2 are connected to each other. an elevating mechanism 10 that reciprocates the test paper 5 between
are arranged inside the box part 3.

The elevating mechanism 10 has a frame 11 erected on the toilet bowl 1, vertical guide rails 12 and 12 are installed on this frame 11, and a slider 1 is installed between these guide rails 12 and 12.
A holder 14 for holding the test strip 5 is attached to the lower end of the slider 13. This holder 14 holds a new test strip 5 inserted by opening the insertion lid 4 by locking it on a step etc., and removes the test strip 5 after analysis from the holder 14 by a removal mechanism attached to the slider 13. The urine is allowed to fall into the urine reservoir 2.

Further, a motor 15 is provided within the frame 11, and a timing belt 16 that is run by the motor 15 is arranged parallel to the guide rail 12.
By locking the slider 13 to the slider 6, the slider 13, the holder 14, and the test strip 5 held in the holder 14 are moved up and down between the urine reservoir 2 and the urine data analyzer 7 by the drive of the motor 15. That's what I do.

On the other hand, a cover 20 is attached to the frame 11. The cover 20 consists of three divided bodies 21, 22, and 23, all of which are approximately U-shaped. The divided body 21 is fixed to the frame 11, the divided body 22 has a smaller size than the divided body 21, the divided body 23 has a smaller size than the divided body 22, and when the slider 13 is raised, The holder 14 and the divided body 23 have locking parts that lock each other, and when the holder 14 rises, the divided body 23
2 also rises, and accordingly the dividing body 22 also rises, and furthermore, the dividing bodies 22 and 23 are accommodated in the dividing body 21.

Further, the holder 14 and the divided body 23 have locking parts that lock each other, and when the holder 14 is lowered, the divided body 23 is also lowered, and accordingly the divided body 22 is also lowered, as shown in FIG. The cover 20 is in an extended state, and in this state, the slider 13 and the holder 14 are covered by the cover 20.

FIG. 2 to FIG. 5 are diagrams showing another embodiment, in which the first
The same members as in the embodiment are given the same numbers.

In a second embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the cover 20 is not divided but has a bellows shape, and the upper end is connected to the bracket 2 of the box part 3.
In the third embodiment shown in FIG. , a shaft 25 with a cover 20 provided on the box part 3
The cover 20 is supported so as to be able to swing around the center, and a spring urges the cover 20 in the upward direction, and a part of the cover 20 is latched to the holder 14.
As the cover 20 is lowered, the cover 20 also rotates downward, and the holder 1
4 and the slider 13. Also the fourth
In the fourth embodiment shown in the figure, a box-shaped cover 20 is attached to the box part 3;
Since 0 is a fixed type, it would be convenient to make it replaceable.

Furthermore, in the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 5, all of the above-mentioned embodiments only prevent feces from adhering to the slider 13 and holder 14, and do not particularly prevent feces from adhering to the cover 20 itself. This was done to eliminate the need to clean the cover 20 separately, and specifically, a cleaning pipe 2 is installed at the upper end of the front side of the cover 20.
6 is provided, and when necessary, cleaning liquid is flowed from the cleaning pipe 26 to the front surface of the cover 20 to automatically clean the cover 20.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, in a toilet for measuring urine data in which a test strip is moved up and down between the urine reservoir part of the toilet bowl and a urine data analysis device, the test strip is Since the holder to be held and the mechanism for raising and lowering the holder are covered with a cover, feces will not adhere to the raising and lowering mechanism, etc., and malfunction will not occur.
