Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet seat device, and more particularly to a device for detecting components contained in excrement such as urine and stool as necessary when excreting urine and stool.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various information on health can be obtained from excrement such as urine and feces. Health management based on urinary stool check at the time of mass screening using this is widely performed by governments and business establishments. For example, for the secondary prevention of increasing colorectal cancer, the colorectal mass survey was incorporated into the health business based on the Geriatric Health Law in 1992, and the latex agglutination method, immunological method using hemoglobin antibody, etc. Fecal occult blood tests have been used for screening for colorectal cancer. In addition, urine sugar, urine protein, urobilinogen and other component tests are also performed for early detection of kidney damage, liver damage, etc.
It is also performed at the time of mass screening.

[0003] Recently, these tests have also been performed at home, such as follow-up tests at the time of mass screening. As the frequency of examinations at home increases, the analysis of excrement components is also used for daily health care. For example, a product that can easily and easily measure the salt content of urine and can be used for estimating and managing the salt intake of an individual has been commercialized. This is based on the fact that a part of the total salt intake is excreted from the body through urine and feces, and the daily salt intake is estimated from the amount of salt excreted in the urine, thereby obtaining hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease. It is intended to be useful for the prevention of such diseases and the guidance of meals during pregnancy.

Most of these excretion checks are performed by a method in which a user collects urine or stool by hand, drops a part of the collected sample onto a test paper medicine, and analyzes the color change of the reagent. ing. A system for measuring a color change of a reagent is gradually being mechanized by an optical reader or the like based on a user's visual judgment. However, collection of urine and feces
It is still done by hand. In this collection, urine and stool are usually performed using a container or other collection tools. At this time, it is desirable that the cleaning of containers and other collection tools that are soiled by urine and stool is not a favorable action for the user in the collection performed by hand and can be easily performed. Therefore, it has been proposed to make the container water-soluble and dispose it directly in the toilet tank after use.

For example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-92723, a stool can be easily collected and used regardless of a flushing type or a pumping type by combining a water-soluble stool receiving member and a member for fixing the member to a toilet. Taking into account later disposition, a stool that can receive stool and can be disposed of regardless of whether it is a flushing type or a pumping type, such as a water-soluble or disposable material that disperses in water is proposed. Have been.

[0009] As shown in FIG. 9, this is composed of a paper fixing member 101 made of paper and a paper receiving member 102 made of paper. The stool receiving member 102 has a valley portion 102b sandwiched between the side wall portions 102a for receiving stool. The toilet fixing member 101 and the toilet receiving member 102 are integrally formed. The valley portion 102b has a stool receiver 102c having a depression 103 for preventing the stool made of paper from being escaped. The fixing member 101 for the toilet is of a Japanese type, which is hooked on the edge of the toilet, and of a Western type, it is used by being sandwiched between a toilet and a toilet seat.

Another conventional example is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6-273.
According to Japanese Patent No. 412, the feces can be easily collected in a predetermined occult blood test device by being put into a flush toilet and used as a feces tray before defecation, and after collecting a required amount of feces. An auxiliary cup for collecting feces that can be flushed to a flush toilet and discarded has been proposed.

As shown in FIG. 10, a water-soluble to water-dispersible fiber base material having a water-soluble to water-dispersible resin coating film formed on one surface thereof is used. A stool collection auxiliary cup 204 formed into a container shape having a bottom portion 205 and a side wall portion 206 such that the surface of the resin coating film becomes an outer surface, and the stool collection auxiliary cup 204 is washed with water prior to defecation. After being thrown into a predetermined position in the toilet bowl of the toilet, defecation is carried out in the stool collection auxiliary cup 204, and the stool in the stool collection auxiliary cup 204 is collected. It can be flushed directly into the flush toilet.

Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-191018, there is no possibility that the container is dissolved during urine collection, and a urine test can be performed with a reagent. A urine test container that dissolves without dissolution has been proposed. This is also disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-273412.
As in the example of the publication, the container body is formed of water-dispersible paper that dissolves and disperses in water in a short time or water-soluble paper that dissolves in water in a short time. Furthermore, in this conventional example, a water-soluble resin layer that dissolves in water for a longer time than the reaction time of the urine test reagent is formed on the inner surface of the container body, and a urine test reagent layer is formed on the water-soluble resin layer at the bottom of the container body. In addition, a display unit for displaying the result is provided near the area of the urine test reagent layer.

[0010] In addition, there has been proposed a urinal provided with a water-soluble member as described above for providing a urine component measuring device on a toilet and guiding urine and feces to the measuring device.

For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-259165, in a urinal that can easily urinate and collect the entire amount of one urine discharge, a separating sheet that separates the urination space in the toilet bowl from the defecation space can be detached. There has been proposed one composed of a water-soluble paper.

As shown in FIG. 11, the urine collecting hole 33 connected to the urine component measuring device 352 is provided on the front bottom surface of the toilet bowl 314.
9, and extends into the toilet bowl 314 at an intermediate portion in the front-rear direction of the toilet body 312, and a lower end thereof extends to the toilet bowl 314.
A water-soluble detachable partition 360 that contacts the bottom surface of the toilet and divides the inside of the toilet bowl 314 into a front urination space and a rear urination space.
The paper as the partition 360 can be washed into the toilet after use, and thus the processing after use can be easily performed.

[0013]

However, in the apparatus described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 4-32286 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 6-273412, the container can be directly discarded into the toilet tub. Although it is easier than when it is necessary to dispose of the container in a convenient place, it is necessary to dispose of the container by hand, and there is a problem that the inconvenience of the user has not been solved in this regard. Also, in the example of JP-A-6-259165, a mechanism built into the toilet from collection to analysis eliminates the need for a user's hand, but after the partition plate for guiding urine has been used. There is a problem that it is necessary to manually dispose to the toilet tank after desorption.

In order to solve such problems, the present invention provides a toilet seat device for collecting urine and stool and detecting the components of excrement, and also troubles the user with a portion contaminated with urine and stool. It is an object of the present invention to provide a toilet seat device that can be discarded into a toilet tank without causing the toilet seat device.

[0015]

It is sectional drawing which shows the material of the excrement receiving means.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a body of a toilet seat device, 2 denotes an excrement receiving means for receiving excrement excreted by a human body sitting on a toilet seat 7 in the toilet bowl, and 3 denotes an excrement component received by the excrement receiving means 2. It is means for detecting excrement component. The toilet seat device main body 1 is installed on the toilet 4. The excrement receiving means 2 and the excrement component detecting means 3 are attached to the toilet seat apparatus main body 1 by support arms 5 and 6, respectively. The excrement receiving means 2 is a cup-like container made of a water-soluble material.

In FIG. 2, a fitting portion (male side) 21 provided on the support arm 5 has a cylindrical shape, and a projection 22 is partially provided on the outer periphery of the cylinder. Excrement receiving means 2
A fitting portion (female side) 22 that fits into the fitting portion (male side) 21 of the support arm 5 is provided at the upper end of the cup-like container. This fitting part (female side) 22 is also the excrement receiving means 2.
It is formed of a water-soluble material in the same manner as described above.

In FIG. 3, a plurality of dropping holes 31 as dropping means 35 are provided below the excrement receiving means 2.
A discharge hole 32 is provided at a position lower than the surface where the drip hole 31 is provided. The excrement component detection means 3 is a detection means utilizing physical changes such as color tone, turbidity, specific gravity, etc. caused by excretion, a detection means for detecting by a paper chromatography method, a coloration of a reaction test piece, and a sensor section for excretion. By touching things,
Detection means etc. that detect by changes in impedance or other electrical signals are conceivable, but here, components contained in excrement cause coloration of the reaction test piece. The description will be made using a reagent as an example. The excrement component detecting means 3 comprises a test paper main body 33 and a test piece 34, and the test pieces 34 are joined on the test paper main body 33 at intervals. The test piece 34 is a plurality of reaction reagents corresponding to urine tests such as sugar, protein, urobilinogen, occult blood and the like.

The drip hole 31 is provided at the lower part of the excrement receiving means 2 at a position immediately above each of the plurality of test pieces 34, and the diameter of the hole is adjusted according to the viscosity of the excrement (here, urine). The diameter is set to an appropriate amount according to the size of the test piece 34. The discharge hole 32 has a diameter larger than that of the drip hole 31 in order to discharge an extra amount of urine.

In FIG. 4, the excrement receiving means 2 is composed of a water-soluble material. The water-soluble material is composed of two types of water-soluble materials in a multilayer structure. Reference numeral 41 denotes a water-soluble material A, 42 constituting a surface of the excrement receiving means 2 for receiving excrement.
Is a water-soluble material B constituting the opposite surface. The water-soluble material A41 is obtained by molding a water-dispersible fiber base material 43 (such as carboxymethylcellulose) with a water-soluble binder 44 (such as polyvinyl alcohol) in the same manner as in papermaking. The water-soluble material B42 is obtained by molding a water-dispersible fiber base material 45 (carboxymethylcellulose or the like) with a water-soluble binder 46 (polyvinyl alcohol or the like) in the same manner as in papermaking. By changing the mixing ratio of 46 to the water-soluble material A41, the water-soluble material A41 is dissolved in water earlier.

Next, the operation and operation will be described. The user sits on the toilet seat 7 for excretion inspection and excretes.
Here, the description is made assuming urine as the excrement. The excrement receiving means 2 receives excreted urine. The received urine wets the inner surface of the excrement receiving means 2 while
, And drops from each dropping hole 31 toward the test piece 34 immediately below each hole. Excess urine that is not dripped flows to the discharge hole 32, from which it is discharged to the toilet tub below the toilet. The test piece 34 changes its color depending on the components contained in urine, which is excrement, and detects the component by visually recognizing the color after the user has used it.

When the inner surface is wetted by urine, the water-soluble binder 44 of the water-soluble material A41 constituting the surface starts to be dissolved, and the fiber base material 43 swells accordingly. When the water reaches the water-soluble material B42, the dissolution of the binder 46 of the water-soluble material B42 and the swelling of the fibrous base material 45 start as in the case of the water-soluble material A41. The fitting portion (female side) 22 provided at the upper end of the toilet bowl swells, disengages from the fitting portion (male side) 21 due to its own weight of the excrement receiving means 2 and the weight of wet and attached urine, and Fall to the toilet tank. The dropped excrement receiving means 2 is completely dissolved and dispersed by the pool water in the toilet tank,
Flows to sewage piping.

The water-soluble material A41 and the water-soluble material B
