Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to techniques for managing one's own health, and in particular to a simple urinalysis device that allows each individual to grasp management data when urinating in a home toilet. Regarding.

[Conventional technology]

Understanding the state of health at home is important for everyone, regardless of whether they are healthy, have survived an illness, or are undergoing treatment. However, since there is no conventional means of understanding the condition, it is only when the patient's physical condition deteriorates and it becomes unbearable that the patient is diagnosed by a doctor, ascertains various data, and undergoes treatment.
Then, for example, patients visit the hospital every other week to collect data and improve treatment. Now, the human body changes every day, and it is easy to lead an easy lifestyle, for example, it is easy to take in too much salt in food. It is very common for kidney disease, which has been on the verge of being cured, to take a turn for the worse in the week leading up to the next diagnosis.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

If household members could check their own health status when urinating, they would be able to proactively manage their health.
Not only will you be free from your current pain, but you will also be promised a life where vitality flows from your core. But today's families don't have the means to do so.

[Means for solving problems]

An object of the present invention is to provide a urinalysis device that allows health management data to be grasped very easily and in a short time when urinating. The device also includes an oscillator that oscillates an exciting frequency that is synchronized with the natural vibration of the substance molecules in the urine, and a detector that detects changes in the electrical resistance of the substance molecules in the urine excited by the oscillator.

[Effect]

In the present invention, excreted urine is received in a cup with electrodes, and a voltage with a frequency synchronized with the natural electronic frequency of the substance molecules in the urine from which data is to be collected is applied to excite the substance molecules, and the substance molecules are electrolyzed. By utilizing the fact that the electrical resistance changes due to ionization in relation to the amount electrolyzed, that is, the concentration of the substance molecules, trends in changes in physical condition can be ascertained.

〔Example〕

Examples will be explained below with reference to figures. 1 is the toilet bowl, 2
3 is a toilet seat, and 3 is its lid, which is rotatably supported by a case 5 via a pin 4. An arm 6 is made of a material with low moisture absorption such as polypropylene resin, and electrode plates 7 and 8 as electrodes are integrally attached to the lower surface of the arm. 9 is a motor attached to case 5,
A threaded rod 10 is attached to the rotating shaft, and a threaded cylinder 20 integrated with the arm 6 is screwed into the rotating shaft, and the tip thereof is rotatably supported by a bearing plate 11 integrated with the case 5. The arm 6 is slidably supported by the bearing plate 11, and a urinalysis cup 12 formed of a highly elastic metal plate is attached to the lower end of the arm 6 so as to be electrically welded between the legs A. One storage arm 1
3 will be provided. The lower end 7a of the electrode plate 7 is positioned well below the upper edge of the cup when the cup is in its free position, so that when urine 17 enters the cup, it will sink sufficiently into the urine. If the motor 9 is rotated in the normal direction, the cup will be set as shown in Figure 1, intersecting the trajectory of excreted urine in the air. When reversed, it rises as shown in Fig. 3, and on the way, the arm 13 touches the edge of the toilet seat, and the leg bends and hides behind the toilet seat in a greatly tilted position as shown at 12a in Fig. 4. Therefore, there is no feces, and the water inside the cup spills out without leaving any residue behind. 14 is a switch that also serves as a motor rotation switch. Electrode plates 7 and 8 are electrically connected to a high frequency voltage oscillator 15. The oscillator uses a knob 16 to transmit, for example, four different frequencies to the tip 7a of the electrode plate.
and cup 12. For example, this frequency is based on sugar, protein, occult blood, etc. contained in urine.
It is synchronized with the molecule's natural frequency of hydrogen ions. Therefore, when urine 17 is in the cup, the molecules of the substance are excited by the frequency at that time in relation to the concentration of the substance at that time, and the electrical resistance changes, so the voltage drop value changes and the pointer 19 of the meter 18 changes. It varies depending on the concentration. Therefore, for example, the state of sugar at that time can be automatically and immediately grasped on the spot. Furthermore, when the self-recorder 21 is connected, data is automatically recorded on the card 25.

Generally, when the user operates the switch 14 to position the cup 12 downward to urinate, a portion of the urine remains in the cup, resulting in the state indicated by reference numeral 17 in FIG. When the knob is turned, the excitation phenomenon of the substance molecules occurs immediately as described above, and the pointer 19 indicates the tendency of the concentration of the substance to be measured, so that the corresponding health level can be determined instantaneously. After measuring the four types, clean water 23 is poured from the injection port 22 for flushing the toilet bowl. This water is first projected into the cup and then falls to the bottom of the toilet bowl, cleaning the cup with urine. When the switch is operated and the cup is pulled up, all of the water falls out as shown by reference numeral 26 in FIG. 4, completing preparations for the next measurement.

[Effects of Examples]

As described above, the above embodiment exhibits the following effects.

(1) Since it induces an excitation phenomenon in the molecules of substances contained in urine and detects their concentration, it is possible to obtain accurate health status data in a short time at home while urinating. On the other hand, when a self-recorder is connected, it is especially effective in hospitals and other places where a large number of urine tests need to be processed in a short period of time.

(2) Urine for urinalysis is automatically placed into the cup during urination, making it much easier than conventional urine collection.

(3) The wide hemisphere of the cup is used as an electrode, and the opposing electrodes are also firmly attached to the arm. Even if the entire arm shakes, the relationship between the two will not change, allowing accurate measurements.

(4) The urinalysis cup and electrodes are washed with clean water from the toilet bowl, eliminating the need for cleaning.

(5) The urinalysis cup is stored on the back of the toilet seat, so
There is no fecal matter, and it is very effective in maintaining measurement accuracy.

(6) It is very convenient because it automatically tilts the urinalysis cup after washing to drain the water, and prepares for the next measurement automatically during the storage process.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, a urinalysis cup, an electrode placed inside the cup, and a oscillating frequency that is connected to the electrode and excited in synchronization with the natural vibration of substance molecules in urine are provided. By equipping an oscillator that detects and detects changes in electrical resistance of substance molecules in urine excited by the oscillator, it is possible to determine what kind of substance is contained in urine, how much it contains, or changes from the previous measurement value. Individuals can easily know the trends in their symptoms, and if they know that a significant change has occurred, they can consult a doctor in advance without worsening the condition.
Self-health management can be done easily.

In particular, this device can be used at home because it has a simple configuration that simply applies a voltage to the urine at a frequency that synchronizes the amount of substances contained in the urine with the natural vibration of the substance molecules and detects the change in electrical resistance at that time. Even women and girls who are unfamiliar with the equipment can purchase it in sufficient quantities and use it freely.
