Description

Defecation processing apparatus {APPARATUS FOR EVACUATION}

The present invention relates to a bowel processing apparatus, and more particularly to a bowel processing apparatus that can be directly inhaled in the rectum to excrete bowel movements of patients that can not solve the bowel movement alone.

In general, patients with quadriplegia, dementia, and patients with spinal or cranial nerves cannot resolve urine themselves, so caregivers should take care of the feces.

That is, if the patient can not move directly to the toilet or toilet, the caregiver should be moved, and patients with more severe symptoms will wear diapers.

In addition, caregivers should periodically check because patients with impaired spinal or cranial nerves and lack of sensation or unconsciousness should recognize bowel movements, while caregivers should lift or move patients when changing diapers. Sometimes the weight is difficult for the caregiver.

In addition, even in the professional caregiver, urine treatment is one of mental burden and one of the most cumbersome and difficult tasks.

In recent years, various urine treatment devices have been developed to solve this inconvenience.

For example, a toilet is installed in the center of the bed mat for the patient to see the urine, the inhaler for inhaling the urine discharged through the sensor to detect the presence of the urine in the toilet and the waste treatment device, and the patient's local part Products with technology with washable bidets are available.

However, since the urine treatment device is available only when a separate space for the toilet is installed on a bed mat, it cannot be used in a general mat, and thus a urine treatment device including a bed mat and the toilet should be used. Because of this difficult to move and carry.

In addition, the stool processing apparatus should be provided with a space in which the stool will fall from the butt of the patient, that is, the toilet bowl in a specific area of the bed mat, if the butt of the patient is out of the toilet bowl, contamination of the bed mat and secondary virus to the patient Because it is an infectious agent, the hips of the patient must not escape from the toilet bowl.

As a result, the patient should lie in the same position continuously because the patient can only lie in the correct position on the bed mat.

Therefore, prolonged lying in one position complains of discomfort and further increases the risk of pressure sores. The bedsores described are skin diseases that can occur if you lie down for long periods of time in one posture and in severe cases can even threaten the life of the patient.

In addition, the stool processing unit is composed of a toilet seat integral to the bed mat, and additional devices are further provided, which increases the cost of production.

In addition, when using the bidet function, while washing the water by supplying water to the local portion of the patient for a long time, there was a problem that the water consumption is increased with the increase of the electricity consumption because the used toilet bowl also needs to be supplied by water for a long time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention for improving and solving the problems described above is to provide a bowel processing apparatus capable of directly inhaling and treating bowel movements in the rectum without having a separate bed mat and a toilet bowl.

7 is a flowchart illustrating an operation sequence according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, the operation sequence and the operation of the bowel processing apparatus will be described. Before the nozzle part 100 is introduced into the rectum 11 of the human body, the first pressure part 410 of the pressure part 400 is operated. Pressure is supplied to the first pressure pipe 110 of the nozzle unit 100, and the opening and closing piece 111 is expanded by the supplied pressure to close the suction port 112.

The opening and closing piece 111 of the first pressure pipe 110 is expanded to inject the nozzle part 100 into the rectum 11 in a state in which the suction port 112 is closed.

After the nozzle unit 100 is introduced into the rectum 11, the second pressure unit 420 of the pressure unit 400 is operated to provide pressure to the second pressure tube 130 (S730).

By the pressure provided, the protruding pieces 131 and 132 which store a certain shape of the second pressure tube 130 are expanded to be in close contact with the inner wall of the rectum 11. (S740)

The pressure in the sealed workplace 11 detects the pressure in the pressure sensing unit 600 installed in the nozzle unit 100. (S750)

At this time, it is determined whether the time to discharge the bowel movement according to the detected pressure, and if it is determined that the discharge time of the bowel movement is discharged the pressure supplied to the first pressure pipe (110) (S760).

When the pressure of the first pressure pipe 110 is completely discharged, the opening and closing piece 111 formed in the first pressure pipe 110 is contracted so that the suction port 112 of the first pressure pipe 110 is opened and the suction port is opened in the open state. It provides the suction force of the suction unit 200 to 112. (S770).

At this time, the cleaning solution is supplied from the cleaning solution supply unit 300 to the cleaning port 111 by the bowel movement, and the supplied cleaning solution is supplied to the inner wall and the bowel movement of the rectum 11 to soften the bowel movement (S780).

Thereafter, the bowel movement in the rectum 11 is moved to the excrement storage unit 500 through the suction port 112 of the first pressure pipe 110 by the suction force provided.

After the bowel movement in the rectum 11 is moved, the operation of the suction unit 200 is stopped and the suction force is blocked.

After the suction force is cut off, the first pressure unit 410 of the pressure unit 400 provides a pressure to the first pressure pipe 110, and the opening and closing piece 111 is expanded by the provided pressure, so that the suction port 112 is Blocked (S800)

At this time, if the opening and closing piece 111 is not closed, the bowel movement in the rectum 11 can continue to flow through the suction port, so that the pressure change in the rectum 11 can not be accurately measured so as to close the opening and closing piece 111. It is desirable to implement.

In addition, the nozzle unit 100 is separated from the human body in a state in which the opening and closing piece 111 is closed when the body is detached from the human body. At this time, the pressure of the second pressure tube 130 is discharged to shrink the protruding pieces 131 and 132. , Pull out from the anus (10).

In addition, after removing the nozzle unit 100 in the rectum (11), it is preferable to implement an ultraviolet sterilization unit that can be sterilized with ultraviolet rays for hygienic use so that it can be sterilized when not in use.

As described above, the present invention describes a treatment method for feces, that is, bowel movements, and because urine is a liquid, it is easy to process and applies a conventionally known technique. An example of was described by applying to the bowel movement treatment.
