Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a toilet bowl having a function of measuring components such as sugar and protein in urine.

(Prior Art) A toilet bowl disclosed in JP-A-64-53159 is known as a toilet bowl for measuring various components in urine using a test paper impregnated with a reagent.

In this device, a rotating drum is placed in the case provided on the toilet bowl, a clip is attached to the tip of the wire wound on this drum, the test paper is held by this clip, and the test paper is rotated by rotating the drum. Is moved up and down between the urine reservoir of the toilet bowl and the urine data analyzer.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above-described conventional urine data measuring toilet bowl, it is troublesome for the user to attach and detach the test strip to and from the clip. Therefore, it is conceivable to provide a holder having a function of holding the test paper with one touch on the lifting mechanism of the urine data measuring device and automatically discharging the paper after the measurement.

However, when such a function is provided, when the user tries to insert the test paper into the holder of the lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism operates and the fingers are caught or the test paper gets inside the lifting mechanism, causing the failure. Becomes

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention detects the open state of the insertion lid and forces the lifting mechanism inside the insertion lid that is opened when inserting a new test strip into the holder. A sensor was installed to stop it.

(Operation) Although the test paper has already been inserted into the holder of the elevating mechanism to detect urine data, if the test paper insertion lid is accidentally opened, the motor driving the elevating mechanism stops.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet bowl for measuring urine data according to the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a side view showing an elevating mechanism of the toilet, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the elevating mechanism, and FIG. 4 is a side view showing an essential part of the present invention.

A box part 2 containing a low tank at the rear of the toilet bowl 1.
The urine data analysis device 3 is provided in the box portion 2, the insertion lid 5 for inserting the urine test paper 4 is provided on the lower left side of the box portion 2, and the lifting mechanism 6 provided in the box portion 2 is provided. The test paper 4 is moved up and down between the urine reservoir 7 formed on the ball surface of the toilet bowl 1 and the analyzer 3.

The elevating mechanism 6 has a frame 10 fixedly mounted on the toilet bowl 1, vertical guide rods 11, 11 are provided on the frame 10, and a slider 12 is slidably engaged with the guide rods 11, 11. Further, a motor 13 is provided in the frame 10, and the timing belt 14 having one end of the slider 12 fixed thereto is run by the motor 13 arranged in parallel with the guide lock 11, and a holder 15 provided at the lower end of the slider 12 is run. The test paper 4 held at is moved up and down.

A cover 16 is attached to the frame 10. The cover 16 expands and contracts as the holder 15 moves up and down to prevent stool or the like from adhering to the holder 15. Further, in FIG. 2, reference numeral 17 is a lower cover, and when the slider 12 rises to the upper limit position, the lower cover 17 pivots upward through the interlocking mechanism to close the opening of the box portion 2 so that water and dirt can be prevented. The analyzer 3 is prevented from adhering to it.

On the other hand, on the back surface of the insertion lid 5, there are provided a protrusion 19 and a lever 20 which are lightly press-fitted into a receiving member 18 attached to the box portion 2 side, and the lever 20 is provided inside the insertion lid 5. Sensor 21 that detects the open / closed state of the insertion lid 5 by detecting 20
Is provided. This sensor 21 is connected to a control device, and when the sensor 21 detects the open state of the insertion lid 5, a stop signal is output to the motor 13, and when the sensor 21 is not driven, that state is maintained and when the motor is driven. The drive stops immediately.

In the normal urine test procedure, the insertion lid 5 is opened, a new test paper 4 is inserted into the holder 15 that has risen below the insertion lid 5, the insertion lid 5 is closed, and the start switch is pressed. After detecting that 21 is closed,
The motor 13 is driven to lower the test strip 4 held by the holder 15 together with the slider 12 to the urine reservoir 7, and the urine is attached to the lower end of the test strip 4.

Next, the elevating mechanism 6 is reversed to move the test paper 4 to the analyzer 3
Then, the ratio of the components in urine is measured according to the degree of color development. When the measurement is completed, the elevating mechanism 6 again lowers the test paper 4 to an intermediate position between the urine reservoir 7 and the urine data analyzer 3, and the paper is discharged at this position.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, a new urine data measuring toilet is provided in which the urine test strip can be automatically moved up and down between the urine reservoir and the analyzer by an elevating mechanism. A sensor to detect the opening and closing of the insertion lid that is opened when the test paper is attached to the holder of the lifting mechanism is provided, and the lifting mechanism is forcibly stopped when the insertion lid is opened.
It is possible to prevent fingers from being caught in the lifting mechanism and prevent the test paper from falling into the lifting mechanism and causing a failure.
