Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate various urine examination and to prevent the deterioration of a sensor, by appropriately adjusting the position of a sensor at the time of examination or unexamination by the position adjusting mechanism attached to a urine sampler. CONSTITUTION:At the time of examination, a freely extensible second mechanism 5 is extended from the first mechanism 4 attached to a urine sampler 3 in a freely rotatable manner by the switch 2 provided to a measuring instrument 1 and a sensor 6 is arranged at a position by the switch 2. Further, by inclining the first mechanism 4 attached in a freely rotatable manner to a direction shown by the double arrow, the angle for extending the sensor 6 can be also altered and the sensor 6 can be also arranged to a water storage part 7. The sensor can be placed at an arbitrary position along a bottom part from the water storage part 7 of the urine sampler 3 to a rear part or a position in air above the water level of the water storage part. When examination is unnecessary, the sensor is received in the freely extensible second mechanism 5.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a urinalysis device [Technical background of the invention and its problems] Measuring urine sugar levels is essential for diabetic patients, and various urinalysis devices are used. Proposed. In addition, the importance of urinalysis is increasing, including the measurement of urea ammonia and creatinine in the urine of uremic patients, and the measurement of uric acid in the urine of patients with cough. Various sensors have been developed under these trends, but when installing them in urine collection devices such as toilet bowls, the mounting position must be changed depending on the characteristics of the sensor and the condition of the test subject. . For example, in the case of a urine sugar sensor using glucose oxidase, the amount of enzyme activity
Depending on the fat/J% of the urine sugar level, etc., there are two possible methods: direct contact with raw urine, and measurement of urine mixed and diluted in a water storage section. Further, if it is necessary to sample urine through a sample hole in the toilet bowl, the sensor section must be installed at an appropriate position inside or outside the urine collection container. As described above, it is desirable that the sensor can be moved inside and outside the urine collection device as needed, but no such urine testing device has been proposed to date. It is an object of the present invention to provide a urine test device that can appropriately move the position of the sensor in the test, and can easily handle various urine test tasks.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention includes a urine collection device and a sensor that is attached to a position adjustment mechanism and detects urine components, and the position adjustment mechanism includes:
a rotatable first mechanism that adjusts the angle of the sensor; and an extendable second mechanism that adjusts the distance between the first mechanism and the sensor.
This is a urine testing device characterized by having the following mechanism.

In other words, in the present invention, the position of the sensor can be adjusted as appropriate during both testing and non-testing using the position adjustment mechanism attached to the urine collection device (including peripheral equipment such as the toilet seat and water tank).
This makes it possible to easily perform various urine tests and prevent deterioration of the sensor itself.

Note that the first mechanism as a position adjustment mechanism in the present invention,
Although the second mechanism can be selected as appropriate, it is sufficient that both mechanisms allow three-dimensional position adjustment.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An example of the apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1a Qj (c) is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the operation of the device of the present invention.

A telescopic 20th mechanism #t45 extends from the first mechanism 4 rotatably attached to the urine collection device 3 and places the cell 6 at the position indicated by the switch. 1st N6).

Furthermore, by tilting the rotatably mounted first mechanism 4 in the direction of the arrow, the angle at which the sensor is ejected can be changed, and the sensor can also be placed in the water storage section 7 (υ Fig. 1).

With the structure described above, the sensor can be placed at any position along the bottom of the urine collection device 3 from the water storage s7 to the rear, and at a position in the air above the water surface of the water collection unit 7. Urine testing can be performed on children, even children. Furthermore, when inspection is not required, it can be stored using the second telescopic mechanism 5 (see Figure 1a).

Embodiment 2 FIG. 2 (2) (b) is a cross-sectional schematic diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention different from that in FIG. 1, and the numbers are the same as in FIG. 1.

In addition, Fig. 2 (a) (υ shows the position when the position of the sensor 6 is changed in the usage state. Also in Fig. 2, when the inspection is not required, the sensor can be moved by winding the second machine s5 to shorten it.) All you have to do is store 6.

Embodiment 3 FIG. 3(a) (υ(d) is a cross-sectional schematic diagram showing another embodiment according to the present invention, and the numbers are the same as in FIG. 1.

Embodiment 3 uses the toilet seat 8 of the urine collection device 3 as the position adjustment mechanism according to the present invention, and the first mechanism 4 and the second mechanism 5 are arranged so that the position adjustment mechanism ω, (bl, (c)) The position of the sensor 6 can be adjusted.

Embodiment 4 Figure 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
υ is the cross-sectional schematic diagram, and Figure 4 (b) (C) is Figure 4 (→
A top view of each is shown, and the numbers are the same as in FIG. 1.

FIG. 4 shows a toilet seat 8 provided with a position adjustment mechanism according to the present invention on the side thereof. In other words, the first mechanism 4 is provided on the side of the toilet seat 8 so that the position of the sensor 6 can be adjusted as shown in FIG. 4(c). Further, FIG. 40 shows the toilet seat 8 in use when it is erected.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above results, in the device of the present invention,
By using the position adjustment mechanism consisting of the first mechanism and the second mechanism, the sensor position can be easily moved to the optimal position for various urine tests, making it possible to always perform urine tests in the optimal condition. 9 It can be said that it is extremely effective in practice.
