The present invention relates to a panty that can easily handle the feces of patients with mobility problems, such as critically ill, physically disabled, elderly, physically handicapped, and more specifically, the bowel movements and urination of the patient and its treatment Hygienic work can be performed and cold / hot air can be supplied to the groin and buttocks of the patient to prevent bedsores, and the excrement can be discharged and collected together with the washing water to be processed collectively. The present invention relates to a panty for treating feces of a patient, which helps to alleviate the discomfort and discomfort of people or caregivers caused by feces or odors, and to completely prevent the problem of polluting the surrounding environment.

In general, in hospitals or similar accommodations or homes where incapacitated patients, such as the elderly living in bed, the physically handicapped, and the critically ill, referred to as plant humans, are caring for the elderly or patients while excretion such as defecation and urination. Caregivers must be involved in the work being done.

In addition, in the process or work of the caregiver, mental discomfort, physical fatigue, pain, etc. are accompanied by a lot of hard work and discomfort in the caregiver's processing work, and when the caregiver's actions are not performed in a timely manner The bed of the patient or the elderly is contaminated with dirt, such as bowel movements, causing a phenomenon that greatly pollutes the surrounding atmosphere or environment.

As a result, problems in treating caregivers and feelings of discomfort have arisen, and in this case, in the case of a discomfort, such as a patient, the lower part of the body is contaminated with dirt, and in the case of a caregiver, treatment is performed by hand. There are a number of problems, such as that the treatment work such as the caregiver is contaminated with dirt is very inefficient and unsanitary.

Moreover, even if there is a caregiver, there is a limit to the time the caregiver can take care of, so that the caregiver is almost impossible to reside, causing frequent grievances and phenomena such as the above. It is a reality that these problems of nursing are emerging as a big social problem because the problems that are required and effective care cannot be caused.

Therefore, in view of such a situation in the prior art, there was a human body fittings that enable the bowel movements and urination without a caregiver, but most of them are made of disposable diapers made of paper.

This can be a stool and the like, but the treatment, such as cleaning or drying of the excreta, the caregiver is to be treated by hand every day, the treatment is very unsanitary and cumbersome.

In addition, there was a lot of problems with the waste treatment, and there was a toilet attached to the bed, but this was not effective at all for plant people such as a seriously ill, etc. There is this.

The caregiver or caregiver's help is needed to treat the excrement of patients with disabilities, the elderly and the disabled, but most patients endure toilets for fear of feeling embarrassed and their clothes and bedding dirty. In the process, they suffer mental and physical pain.

Therefore, in order to alleviate the pain of patients suffering from stool, a means for freely viewing the stool is required.

Sanitary napkins, such as diapers, may be useful as a primary means of freeing stool.

In order to improve the function of the sanitary napkin, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0226396 has been proposed a high-efficiency incontinence management absorbent to increase the initial fluid suction speed and suction height of synthetic urine.

However, even a sanitary napkin equipped with such a high-efficiency absorbent is unable to function properly when the amount of excretion is large, it is not suitable for the treatment of feces as a solid, in particular, it is still necessary to replace the care immediately after excretion and still need the help of guardians or caregivers.

The problem is that if you can't immediately dispose of the sanitary napkin or dirty clothes and bedding after excretion, it can cause severe odor and make it difficult to clean up and worsen the patient's health. In this case, the mental pain and the material difficulties are aggravated and the life of the guardian is impoverished.

In Korean Patent Nos. 10-0242089 and 10-0256926, a bed for a patient is provided with a toilet bowl-type excreta treatment facility capable of drilling an opening in a bed and treating a patient's feces under the opening.

That is, even if you do not wear a separate sanitary napkin can be seen hygienically and conveniently in bed state lying on the bed.

However, such a patient bed would be very useful if it could be moved even a little, such as the patient himself or herself, could operate a switch, but if not, he would still need the help of a caregiver or caregiver.

In addition, such a bed has a problem that it is bulky and expensive to use in a normal home.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above, and the new type of panties made of flexible soft material such as tarpaulin, such as elderly people, seriously injured, seriously ill or disabled patients who live in bed only, such as disabled or impossible directly It is possible to wash and dry the anus or genital area consciously or unconsciously by simply wearing it, and also to periodically supply cold / hot air to the groin and buttocks of the patient and to excrete dirt easily. By collecting and discharging, it is possible to maintain the health of the patient by preventing the bedsores of the patient, and also to resolve the contamination or discomfort of the surroundings caused by dirt or odor due to the bowel movement and urination of the patient, Extremely hygienic treatment, reducing labor and caregiver time The aim of the present invention is to provide a patient's feces handling panties that can reduce the mental grievances and physical fatigue of the caregiver and promote effective nursing effects, while preventing the problems that deteriorate the patient's health due to delayed treatment of feces. There is this.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a general panty shape that can be worn on the human body, and is made of a breathable cloth material that gives a soft feeling to the human body as a whole except the anus and the periphery, while the anus and the periphery are waterproof and breathable. It is made of a tarpaulin material having a shape, and the tube line is formed integrally expandable by air injection while being along the boundary of a predetermined area surrounding the anus and the genital area, and one side of the predetermined area surrounding the anus and the genital area. The panty body is connected to the tube line to enable air injection and at the same time is equipped with a connector for supplying washing water and discharging feces, and collecting feces discharged from the panty body side to supply air to the panty body side. A processing unit and the processing unit side It extends from the connector while being connected to the connector of the panty body in a detachable form, characterized in that it comprises a connection hose that serves as a connecting passage at the time of air supply and excretion collection.

In addition, the tube line of the panty body is characterized in that it extends to the periphery of the lower end and both side portions of the panty body as well as a boundary of a certain area surrounding the anal and pubic area.

In addition, the tube line of the panty body is inflated by air injection to adhere to the skin while performing a gastight role, and an ejection of both pieces which serves to eject air injected into the tube line into the panty body. It is characterized by being divided into lines.

In addition, the connecting hose includes a central feces passage for discharging feces communicating with the inner anus and periphery of the panty body, at least three air passages disposed around the feces passage and communicating with the tube line side of the panty body; It is disposed around the feces passages and is divided into a washing water passage for supplying the washing water communicating with the inner anus and periphery of the panty body.

In addition, at least one passage of the air passage is characterized in that the passage for discharging cold air, warm air or anion.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a front view showing the feces processing panties of the patient according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a back view showing the feces processing panties of the patient according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 1 and 2, the patient's waste treatment panties include a panty body 13 worn directly by the patient and a treatment unit 14 for collecting feces and other air supply.

The basic shape of the panty main body 13 is similar to that of ordinary panties, and most of them are made of breathable fabric material that gives a soft feeling to the human body.

However, a certain area (11) surrounding the anus and genital area is made of a tarpaulin material with waterproof and breathable due to the characteristics of direct contact with the feces of the patient.

At this time, the heterogeneous material can be bonded by a normal lockstitch.

In particular, the tube line 10 is integrally attached to the edge of the constant area (11) surrounding the anus and the genital area in a closed curve form along the boundary.

In this case, the tube line 10 may be positioned inside the panty body 13 and may be in close contact with the skin. As the tube line 10 expands during air injection described below, the tube line 10 is in close contact with the skin and serves as an airtight body, Excretion can be prevented from leaking out of a certain area (11) surrounding the periphery and the pubic area.

Here, the tube line 10 may be made of a rubber material or a synthetic resin material, and may be integrally attached to the inside of the panty body 13 by a known adhesive method such as heat fusion or stitching.

To this end, as shown in Figure 3, the tube line 10 has a basic cross section of approximately "U" shape, the cross section is divided into three chambers (space portion) to inflate air for expansion It is also possible to inject hot air, cold air, or anion for ventilation.

For example, the tube line 10 is divided into an expansion line 16 in the middle and a blowing line 17 disposed on both sides thereof based on the cross section, and in the case of the expansion line 16 It expands due to the injected air and keeps airtight through close contact with the skin. In the case of the blowing line 17, the injected air (cold air, warm air, anion, etc.) is ejected toward the skin through a plurality of holes. It keeps the skin in the panty body in a comfortable state at all times to prevent bedsores.

In addition, when the pressure of the air injected into the expansion line 16 of the tube line 10 is intermittently controlled through the control of the treatment unit 14, a skin massage effect can also be expected. Cooling and warming your hips can help prevent bed sores and keep your groin cool.

The tube line 10 may be formed to extend on the panty body 13 as well as the boundary of the predetermined area 11 surrounding the anus and the genital area.

For example, the tube line 10 communicating with the tube line 10 formed along the boundary of the constant area 11 surrounding the anus and the genital area is around the lower end of the panty body 13 (the part where the leg is fitted). And may extend to both side portions. Accordingly, when wearing the panty body 13 and injecting air, the skin and the panty surface form a definite boundary, and at the same time, as well as the anus and the periphery, the legs and the sides are closely contacted by the tube line 10, thereby increasing the feeling of wearing. It can also increase the confidentiality.

The extension part 10a of the tube line 10 formed around the lower end of the panty body and on both side surfaces may be formed separately from the tube line 10 forming a boundary of a predetermined area 11 surrounding the anus. To reveal.

The panty main body 13 includes a fecal sensor 22 for detecting urination and excretion, and when the air is supplied to the tube line 10 included in the panty main body 13, fecal matter and the like from the panty main body 13 are provided. There is provided a connector 12 that serves as a connector when collecting and collecting or supplying the washing water.

The connector 12 is a portion to which the connection hose 15 extending from the processing unit 14 side is connected and can be detachably connected to the connector of the processing unit 14 in a known one-touch manner while being airtight. It can be mounted at one side of a certain area (11), for example, between the anus and the genital area, surrounding the anus and the genital area, the cross section of which has a plurality of partitioned connection passages for connection. When connected with the connector of the hose 15, each of the divided connection passages can be independently connected one-to-one with the partitioned connection passages on the side of the connection hose 15.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, in the case of the connection hose 15 of the processing unit 14, a cross-section of the excrement passage for discharging wastes communicating with the inner anus and periphery of the panty body 13 is provided. (18), at least three air passages (19) disposed around the fecal passage (18) and communicating with the tube line (10) side of the panty body (13), disposed around the fecal passages (18) It is divided into a washing water passage 20 for supplying washing water that communicates with the inner anal area of the main body 13 and the periphery of the pubic area, and the connector of the connecting hose 15 and the panty main body 13 side connected to the connector The connector 12 also has a partitioned passage in a one-to-one correspondence with each passage in the connecting hose 15, so that air, hot and cold winds, excrement, washing water, etc. are independently connected to each other. It can be supplied or discharged through. In addition, the connection hose 15 is electrically connected to the excrement sensor and the processing unit at the time of connection.

Here, the excrement passage 18 and the washing water passage 20 is in direct communication with the internal space of the panty main body 13 (inner space in which the anal and genitals belong), so that the excrement can be collected by suction or supplied with washing water. In addition, the three air passages 19 are connected to the tube line 10 side by a separate connection tube 21, so that it is possible to inject air for expansion and drying.

The processing unit 14 has a function of collecting and collecting excrement, generating air, and feeding and feeding the washing water.

To this end, the processing unit 14, as shown in Figure 5, the cleaning (water supply) tank, the air supply tank, the cold / hot air (anion) supply tank, the excrement tank, etc. can be opened and closed on the movable body, respectively. It consists of a structure that is provided in a form, one side is provided with a control panel for operation (remote control), one side of the main body is provided with a connector for attaching and detaching the connection hose 15, preferably the connection hose It is provided in a form that is built in to extend the connection hose 15 is drawn out from here and then to be connected to the connector (12) of the panty body 13 to be used.

It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the processing unit 14 may include various hardware such as a timer and a processing program.

Here, the control method associated with the operation and operation of the processing unit may be adopted without particular limitation as long as it is a method commonly known in the art.
