Description

Automatic urine treatment device for patients with impairment {Apparatus for treating patient's urine and feces automatically}

The present invention relates to a device for automatically treating the urine of a patient with an uncomfortable behavior, and in more detail, because of the impossibility or extremely difficult behavior, the treatment table in the form of shorts to a patient who can treat urine only with the help of others While wearing a confined space between the patient and the treatment table, while the patient is looking at the stool to clean the stool and discharge the stool to the outside while at the same time allowing the patient's body to dry inside the ultrasonic treatment, The present invention relates to an automatic urine treatment device for a patient with a behavioral discomfort, which is capable of completely separating and discharging dirt attached to an inner surface of a treatment table.

Most of the patients who are unable to move on their own, such as severe patients due to various accidents or diseases, severe physical disabilities or senile diseases, live in bed, and maintain their illness and daily life with the help of others. In particular, as the aging population increases, the demand for helping others is increasing.

As described above, the greatest difficulty in caring for a patient who is unable to behave is a problem of treating the stool of the patient regardless of the type of disease.

However, if you use a diaper, it will cause bad smell if you don't change the diaper with dung immediately, and if it's too large, the feces will spill out of the diaper and get on your clothes or bedding. It is difficult to suppress the physical distress to bear the weight of the patient in the course of the back, as well as the aversion to excretion, and if the patient receiving such care is conscious, the patient feels shame and shame. There is a considerable difficulty in treating the toilet of a patient who is unable to move such as.

On the other hand, to solve the problems caused by the treatment of patients using diapers, Patent Application No. 1996-47134 discloses "human body mounted toilet seat defecation, automatic urination treatment panties".

The present invention is provided with a panty cover which is detachable to the human body so that the patient can lie down and a panty cover and a panty cover made of a body-mounted toilet bowl made of a soft resin, and a sensor for detecting toilet in the body-mounted toilet. And a hot water spray nozzle for cleaning the stool portion, a warm air spray nozzle for drying the washing portion, and an odor exhaust pipe for discharging the odor.

In addition, the lower part of the human body-mounted toilet is provided with a connection pipe for dropping the feces mixed with the washing water to the bowel movement in the lower part of the bed, the treatment unit main body to control each part to handle the toilet, compared to the diaper There is an advantage that the treatment of the impaired patient is made very easy.

By the way, the invention, the bed must be provided in the bed in order to wear the human body toilet seat in the urination area of the patient, not only the structure is complex but also applicable to the general bed, mat mat laid on the floor B. If the patient is lying on the bed, there is a disadvantage in that the universality is limited due to limitations in application such as the inability to provide an insertion tool.

In addition, since the toilet seat worn by the patient is out of the inlet, and the toilet seat becomes protruding from the human body, it is impossible to change the posture, such as lying down on the patient, so that there is a lot of trouble in the care other than the toilet treatment. Rather, there is a problem that causes considerable inconvenience to the patient himself.

Similar to the invention (Patent Application No. 1996-47134), US Pat. No. 6,585,709 discloses "apparatus and method for patient care and cleaning," the present invention. The patient's feces are also collected through the bottom of the bed, so a dedicated bed mattress is needed.

In addition, the droppings and washing water flow into the waste container 5 through the pipe by free fall. The waste container is not located directly under the mattress but away from the bed, so that the distance between the toilet and the waste container is far and the slope of the pipe is far. Since it is not so large, it may not be smoothly introduced into the waste container depending on the condition of the excrement, and the excrement may be stagnated in the pipe.

In addition, although an inflow material preparation unit 4 and a control unit 6, such as washing water, are formed in one body, they have a disadvantage in that space utilization is inferior as the structure is separated from the waste container.

Similar to the US patent, the domestic patent application No. 2006-50774 "wearable toilet treatment device" is published, the invention (patent application No. 2006-50774), unlike the US patent using a vacuum pump Forced inhalation of feces has the advantage that can be discharged more smoothly and cleanly.

However, as the conventional urine treatment device is washed with washing water, even when the inner surface of the urine treatment device is sprinkled with the washing water, as the use time elapses, fine dirt is gradually accumulated and adhered to the inner surface of the urine treatment device. By doing so, despite washing the inside of the washing machine at each toilet, not only bad smell is generated by the excreta attached to the inside of the washing machine, but also hygiene is very hygienic, such as bacteria or mold may grow.

However, if you want to wash every stool, there is an inconvenience that must be worn again after washing and sterilizing the stool treatment each time from the patient.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of conventional urine treatment means such as diapers or body-mounted toilets, which are used to treat urine of the patient that is difficult or extremely difficult to move, and has a means for treating urine. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic urine treatment device for a patient with a discomfort that can move within a certain range, such as lying down even when worn.

In addition, the bed can be used even when lying on the floor, and the feces can be completely discharged, and it can be prevented from being cured and accumulated on the inner surface of the faeces by repeated toilets. It is another object of the present invention to provide an automatic urine treatment device for a patient with a discomfort.

The above object of the present invention is achieved by a shorts-type treatment table worn on the stool area of the patient, a vacuum pump for sucking the feces, and an ultrasonic generator capable of separating feces on the inner surface of the treatment table while simultaneously crushing the feces. .

In the present invention, an automatic urine treatment device for a patient with a discomfort is a patient's excrement inside the treatment table is automatically sucked by a vacuum pump while the three openings of the treatment stand in the form of shorts are in close contact with the body. Since the inhalation of the lavage water is also automatic, it is possible to keep the stool area hygienic at all times, relieve the pressure on the treatment of feces during care, and use it regardless of where the patient is lying. have.

In addition, since the excrement attached to the inside of the treatment stand is completely separated and removed by ultrasonic vibration of the ultrasonic vibrator coupled to the treatment stand during discharge of excrement, the inside of the treatment stand can be always kept hygienic and the excrement is crushed by the ultrasonic vibration. There is an advantage that can be discharged more easily because it can be.

In addition, there is an advantage that the ultrasonic vibration is also transmitted to the pipe connecting the wastewater port of the treatment table and the vacuum pump to facilitate the cleanliness of the pipe and the absorption of the wastewater.
