Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep measuring precision at a constant value by a method wherein an urine reservoir part to adhere urine to a part of a test piece is formed in a bowl surface and a heating means to heat the bowl surface is provided. CONSTITUTION:Discharged urine is collided with a bowl surface 3 heated by a heat generating body 6a of a heater 6 and gathers in a urine reservoir part 5. When an analysis starting button is then pressed, a slider 21 is lowered. After a test piece 4 is grasped by means of a clamper 22, the slider 21 is lowered, and a filter paper 4-1 of the test piece 4 is immersed in the urine reservoir part 5. After the slider 21 is then raised, a table 14 is moved forward, a grasping state by the clamper 22 is released, and the test piece 4 is dropped on a table 14. The table 14 is moved forward and brought into contact with a sensor case to form a dark box and the filter paper 4-1 is irradiated with light from a light emitting element to analyze the component of urine. Further, when the test piece 4 is grasped by means of the clamper 22, a moving block 20 is revolved and the test piece 4 is discharged in a box 25.

In the above process, the movable block 20 faces the front, the slider 21 disposed on the inclined surface of the movable block 20 rises to the highest position, and the table 14 is positioned below the specimen insertion section. Open the lid and drop the test piece 4 onto the table 14. Then test piece 4 is placed on table 1
Positioning is performed in the horizontal and vertical directions by the guide 4 and the pin 14-1, and at the same time, an optical sensor determines whether or not the test piece 4 is set on the table 14 with the correct gloss. Then, the test piece 4 is set on the table 14 in the correct direction, and when the user urinates in this state, the urine hits the ball surface 3 and reaches the deep feeling part 5, and due to the previous cleaning, the urine pool part 5 Washing water etc. accumulated in the urine reservoir section 5 is flushed out to the drain port 2 and replaced with this washing water etc.
It accumulates in
