Description

Excrement treatment apparatus including a bracket tube having an air flow path formed thereon {Excrement Treating Apparatus Having Bracket Tube Having Air Flow Path}

The present invention relates to an excrement treatment apparatus for automatically processing excrement excreted from the human body, and more particularly, it includes a bracket tube having an air flow path formed therein so that it can be stably adhered to the user's body even when the user changes his or her position. It relates to an excrement disposal device capable of preventing the leakage of excrement.

In general, people who are inconvenient in movement, such as patients and the elderly, or who have difficulty moving their lower body at will, do not have the ability to dispose of their own excrement, so there is an inconvenience that a guardian or caregiver must always reside nearby.

Therefore, in order to solve such inconvenience, research and development of a fecal treatment device that automatically collects excrement by direct contact with the body has been developed. Such an excrement treatment device is designed to receive the user's excrement, suck it, and discharge it to the outside, so that even if a guardian or caregiver does not reside around the user, the excrement can be automatically processed.

However, the conventional excreta treatment machines developed to date are designed without considering the user's body in many cases focusing only on the function of excreta treatment, so there is a problem that usability is very poor.

That is, the area around the buttocks or genitals where excretion is excreted has a structure in which it is difficult to completely adhere to the excretion disposer due to the nature of the human body, and thus excreta leaks through the gap between the human body and the excreta disposer.

In particular, users who use excreta disposal devices such as patients or the elderly often live while lying in bed, and there are cases where they cannot change their posture on their own depending on the severity of the illness.

If this condition persists for a long time, pressure sores may occur in the area where the patient's body pressure is applied, so it is necessary to change the posture periodically. There was a hassle to remove the waste disposal.

Alternatively, even in the case of a waste disposal device designed to be able to change its posture without going through a detachment process, if the patient changes his or her position, excessive pressure by the human body occurs in a specific area. Therefore, there was a problem of excreta leakage.

In particular, in the case of the conventional excreta disposal apparatus, the part in contact with the human body is formed of a material having elasticity, but the part formed of the elastic material itself is deformed rigidly when a certain pressure is applied, so there is a problem that it is very vulnerable to excessive pressure have.

Therefore, a method for solving these problems is required.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the excrement treatment apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a body 10 , a discharge unit 14 , and a bracket tube 100 .

The body 10 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the genitals and buttocks of the human body, and is opened in the direction of the genitals and buttocks of the human body to receive the excrement discharged from the human body; , is connected to the seating portion so as to be mounted between the legs of the human body, and includes a body portion having a receiving space therein.

Here, the genital area of the human body refers to the area around the genitals of men and women, and the buttocks refers to the area around the anus connected to the genital area. That is, the seating portion is formed to be seated on the groin of the human body, and has a curved shape to correspond to the curvature thereof.

And although not shown in this figure, a receiving space is provided inside the main body, and various components required for the excrement treatment device may be provided in the receiving space. As described above, the components provided in the accommodating space are obvious to those skilled in the art, and the structure may be variously made without limitation, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The discharge unit 14 is provided in the accommodation space, and communicates with the treatment space 12 and includes a discharge passage for discharging the excrement of the treatment space 12 to the outside.

In particular, in this embodiment, the discharge unit 14 protrudes toward the rear side of the body 10 and may be connected to an external connection pipe, and the connection pipe may be configured to suck excrement using a separate suction device.

Figure 2 is a view showing a state that the user wears the excrement treatment device (1) according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 2, the user (H) in a state lying on a bed, etc., in close contact with the seating portion of the body to the genitals and buttocks, stretched legs to both sides of the body portion can stably wear the excrement treatment device (1) .

As described above, since the excrement treatment device 1 according to this embodiment is formed to correspond to the shape of the human body, there is no need for the user H to change the posture in accordance with the excrement treatment device 1 forcibly, and a natural posture can be maintained. have.

In addition, at this time, the bracket tube 100 provided along the seating portion has a state in direct contact with the genitals and buttocks of the user (H), and may be formed to be elastically deformed by the body pressure of the user (H).

Hereinafter, the bracket tube 100 will be described in more detail.

3 is a view showing the exterior of the bracket tube 100 in the excrement treatment apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is the excrement treatment apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the bracket tube It is a diagram showing the internal structure of (100).

3 and 4, the bracket tube 100 is provided along the periphery of the seating part so as to be in contact with the user's body, and an air flow path H is formed therein by external or internal pressure. It can be formed to be deformable.

That is, in this embodiment, as the air flow path H is formed inside the bracket tube 100, it is formed to be deformable by external or internal pressure, so that even when the user changes the position, it can be stably adhered to the user's body. This can effectively prevent the leakage of excrement.

In addition, the present invention prevents excessive pressure from being applied only to a specific point of the bracket tube 100 according to the flow of air through the air passage (H), and it is possible to stably distribute the pressure.

More specifically, in this embodiment, the bracket tube 100 includes side corresponding areas 110 and 120 corresponding to both sides of the body seating part of the excrement treatment apparatus, and upper and lower corresponding zones 130 and 140 corresponding to the upper and lower sides of the seating part. ) is included.

In more detail, the side corresponding areas 110 and 120 include a left side corresponding area 110 and a right side corresponding area 120 , and the upper and lower corresponding areas 110 and 120 are an upper corresponding area 130 and a lower corresponding area. region 140 .

At this time, the air flow path (H) may be formed to have a larger cross-sectional area as the pressure applied by the human body is higher, which is because the pressure applied to each part of the bracket tube 100 is different due to the characteristics of the human body.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the air flow path (H) has cross-sectional areas (R ₁ , R ₂ ) of the side corresponding areas 110 and 120 corresponding to both sides of the seating part up and down corresponding to the upper and lower sides of the seating part 130, 140) is formed larger than the cross-sectional area (R ₃ , R _{4 ).} Since the cross section of the air flow path H is formed in a circular shape, the diameter d ₁ of the side corresponding regions 110 and 120 is larger than _{the diameter d 2} of the upper and lower corresponding regions 130 and 140 .

The reason for doing this is that the pressure applied to the bracket tube 100 is greater when the user is in a side-lying position than in a state in which the user is lying with his or her back on the bedding.

In particular, as the bracket tube 100 of this embodiment is deformed by the pressure applied by the human body as shown in FIG. 5, the pressure applied by the human body is formed so that the air flows from the high point to the low point. can

5 exemplifies a state in which pressure is applied to the left side corresponding area 110, and in this case, the air received on the left side corresponding area 110 side is compressed along the air flow path H by the pressure in the right side corresponding to the right side corresponding area ( 120) side, so that the pressure can be effectively dispersed.

That is, in the bracket tube 100 of the present invention, when a user takes a side-lying position, air flows from a portion where a large amount of pressure is applied to a portion on which a little pressure is applied, so that the air pressure in a portion where a little pressure is applied increases. By compensating for the occurrence of a gap as less pressure is applied, it can be in close contact with the user's body as a whole.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the bracket tube 100 has a shape formed as a single member as a whole along the circumference of the seating part, and accordingly, the air flow path H is in a form of communicating as a whole along the bracket tube 100 . Since the circulation path is formed, even if pressure is applied to any area of the bracket tube 100, air flows to the area to which relatively little pressure is applied, thereby compensating for the air pressure.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

6 is a view showing the internal structure of the bracket tube 100 in the excrement treatment apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

In the case of the second embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 6, the bracket tube 100 is formed as a whole as a single member along the seating portion of the body, as in the first embodiment described above.

However, in the present embodiment _{, a plurality of the air passages H 1} to H ₈ are formed, and the difference is that they are formed for each predetermined area of the bracket tube 100 . That is, in this embodiment, a plurality of air passages (H ₁ to H ₈ ) have a state in which they are partitioned independently of each other.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the first air flow path (H ₁ ) is in the upper corresponding area 120, the second air flow path (H ₂ ), the third air flow path (H ₃ ), the fourth air flow path (H ₄ ) is In the left side corresponding area 110 , a fifth air flow path ( H ₅ ) is provided in the lower corresponding area 140 , a sixth air flow path ( H ₆ ), a seventh air flow path ( H ₇ ), an eighth air flow path (H _{8 )} ) is formed in the right side corresponding region 120, but this is presented as an example _{and the arrangement and each volume of the air passages (H 1} to H ₈ ) may be formed in various ways.

And the present embodiment, the plurality of air paths (H ₁ ~ H ₈₎ air-control pump (200 which is formed so as to inject or discharge the air in each control the air pressure of each air flow channel (H ₁ ~ H ₈₎ ) and a pressure sensor (not shown) for sensing the pressure applied to the bracket tube 100 may be further included.

Accordingly, in the case of this embodiment, the pressure applied to the bracket tube 100 is measured through the pressure sensor, and the operation unit (not shown) analyzes the pressure distribution such that the air control pump 200 operates the plurality of By controlling to inject or exhaust air into each of the air passages (H ₁ to H ₈ ), the bracket tube 100 can be completely in close contact with the human body.

That is, the present embodiment analyzes the actual pressure applied to the bracket tube 100 and the air control pump 200 _{precisely individually controls the air pressure of each air flow path (H 1} to H ₈ ), so that the user more stably It can be attached to the body of
