Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 1) Purpose of the Invention (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a device for treating urine urinated while sleeping.

(b) Conventional technology It is useful for bedridden patients, people who complain of sleep deprivation or inability to sleep due to frequent urination during sleep, and people with hypertension that makes it dangerous to use the toilet in the bitter cold, and on the other hand, it is difficult and costly for nurses. In order to alleviate this problem, there has been a great need for a method to effectively dispose of the urine by urinating while lying down. Therefore, in the past, it was either drained and sucked up with a diaper, or a bottle or the like was used.

(c) Problems with the invention These conventional methods cannot be used quickly, leakage or spillage of urine occurs, it takes time to clean up and change clothes and bottles, and there are problems with There were deficiencies in terms of hygiene, such as bad odor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to eliminate these conventional drawbacks and to provide a urine disposal device that is flexible, hygienic and easy to dispose of. More specifically, it can be easily and securely attached to the urinary opening of a lying human body, and at the moment of urination, it can suck up urine and send it to the urination area, and this action can be quickly repeated as many times as necessary. However, the objective is to provide a device that can be used repeatedly.

2) Structure of the invention (a) Embodiments and their operation In the drawings, a human body A is lying on a mattress B spread on a tatami surface or a carpet surface C.
It is equipped with a trumpet-shaped suction tube 1 that adheres to the human skin surface so as to cover and wrap the female genitalia such as the labia majora to maintain airtightness and watertightness, and has a diameter of 25 mm and is connected to the trumpet-shaped suction tube from which urine is drawn out. It is equipped with a flexible suction tube 2 of approximately 200 mm. The flexible suction tube has a structure that does not collapse even when stepped on, and a portion thereof is equipped with a check valve. The other end of the flexible tube is connected to a vacuum pump 3, and a reservoir 4 with an eliminator is connected to the vacuum pump by a discharge tube 5. Urine sucked by the vacuum pump 3 enters the reservoir 4, where it is separated into air and urine.The air is discharged from the reservoir and the urine is stored in the reservoir.

The trumpet-type suction tube 1 needs to have an appropriate shape depending on the external shape of the genital structure of men and women.

The end of the suction tube 1, that is, the suction port, which is attached to the human skin surface, can be attached to the human body and absorb urine without being pinched by the curved surface of the human skin surface, bumps caused by bones, irregularities, etc. The backing for urine leakage is made of a very soft-touch proboscis made of flexible spongy rubber or synthetic resin.

When using this device, it is operated manually, but in the case of seriously ill patients who are unable to attach, remove, or operate the electric switch with their own blades, the genitals should be covered with pants that tightly fit the body. An opening is provided in the part where the trumpet-shaped tube 1 is located, and the person wears pants in which the trumpet-shaped tube 1 can be easily attached and detached using a magnet or a fastener. In this case, a sensor for detecting humidity, temperature, weight, etc. is installed inside the upper-shaped tube 1.The moment you urinate, these sensors will interlock with the electric switch that drives the pump, and will start or stop the vacuum pump. By doing this, the urine is suctioned.

To use this device, as soon as the employee becomes aware of the urge to urinate, the employee manually glues the trumpet-shaped tube 1 so as to enclose the genitals, supports it with one hand, and operates the vacuum pump drive switch with the other hand. When this is done, a vacuum is created immediately, and the trumpet-shaped tube sticks to the human skin, and even if you let go of the hand that held it and supported it, the adhesion is maintained due to the suction force.

At this point, the urine urinated from the urinary opening passes through the flexible tube 2, reaches the vacuum pump 3, and flows into the reservoir 4 through the discharge tube 5. The air and urine are then separated by an eliminator, with the air leaving the container and the urine remaining in the reservoir and stored, before being disposed of at a predetermined location. In the case of a seriously ill patient, the trumpet-shaped tube 1 is
must be set in the urination opening, so have the child wear pants, set the trumpet-shaped tube 1 and the flexible suction tube 2, and use the sensor to detect sudden urination. The operation is as described above. The other functions are the same as in manual operation.

Since this invention adsorbs the suction tube of the vacuum pump directly onto the skin surface of the human body, the vacuum suction force must not be strong enough to cause abnormal changes or discomfort to the skin surface. If we compare the degree of vacuum to that of a household vacuum cleaner, it may be equal to or less than the suction power of 100W. Since the human urinary opening is located at the top when lying down, 1Qcn+~15 cm is higher than the top surface of the mattress. If we add the thickness of the mattress to this, it is possible that urine will naturally flow down toward the storage tank on the floor, even without taking into account the height of the bed. Adsorption is effective. Furthermore, since the suction tube is flexible and can be bent or bent slightly depending on the patient's request, vacuum suction power is necessary to prevent backflow. If the user feels that the degree of vacuum is too strong, he or she can adjust the suction part of the trumpet tube 1 manually by letting in a little air.

3) Effects of the Invention As explained above, this invention replaces bottles, diapers, etc. for bedridden patients and elderly people who have trouble urinating frequently. You can handle urination accordingly. With the rapid increase in the number of elderly people, the problem of sick people and nursing care has become a major problem for the nation and society, and this system has the effect of making it easier to deal with the frequent urination, which is one of the biggest hardships for families and caregivers.
