1 to 3, a patient urinal 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a urinal body 100 and a handle 200.

In one embodiment, the patient urinal 1000 may be disposed in an upright or lying state. For example, the upright state may be a state in which the bottom of the urinal body 100 is disposed on the floor. In addition, the lying state may be a state in which a side wall portion of the urinal body 100 opposite to the handle 200 is disposed on the floor. Here, the floor may be the ground or a bed of a bed.

The urinal body 100 serves to store the patient's urine.

The urinal body 100 may have a rectangular cross-sectional shape having four side wall portions, a bottom portion and a ceiling portion disposed opposite to each other along both ends of the four side wall portions. That is, the urinal body 100 may have a square cylinder shape.

The urinal body 100 has a structure capable of preventing the patient urinal 1000 from falling over due to a small impact in the upright or lying state. In one embodiment, as the urinal body 100 has a stable shape in which the horizontal width is greater than the vertical width in a lying state, shaking from the floor during urination of the patient can be prevented.

In one embodiment, the bottom of the urinal body 10 may be recessed. Specifically, the center of the bottom of the urinal body 10 may be recessed.

In one embodiment, in order to prevent the patient urinal 1000 from being tipped over by a small impact in the surroundings when the patient urinal 1000 is erected, the urinal body 100 is moved from the ceiling of the urinal body 100 where the inlet 110 is disposed to the urinal body ( 100) may have a cross-sectional shape in which the cross-sectional area gradually increases toward the bottom. In other words, the bottom portion of the urinal body 100 may have a relatively larger cross-sectional area than the ceiling portion of the urinal body 100 . (See Fig. 5a)

Therefore, in the upright state of the patient urinal 1000, the center of gravity of the urinal body 100 is located closer to the bottom portion of the urinal body 100 than the ceiling portion of the urinal body 100, so that the urinal body 100 moves around the urinal body 100. It can prevent a fall from a small impact.

In one embodiment, the urinal body 100 is located on the opposite side of the handle 200 from the side wall where the handle 200 is disposed so that the patient urinal 1000 is prevented from falling by a small impact in the surroundings in a lying state. It may have a cross-sectional shape in which a cross-sectional area gradually increases toward the side wall portion. In other words, the side wall portion located on the opposite side of the handle 200 may have a relatively larger cross-sectional area than the side wall portion on which the handle 200 is disposed. (See Fig. 5b)

Therefore, as the center of gravity of the urinal body 100 in the lying state of the patient urinal 1000 is located closer to the side wall portion where the handle 200 is disposed than the side wall portion located on the opposite side of the handle 200, the urinal body ( 100) can prevent a fall from a small shock around.

The side wall portion of the urinal 100 may be provided on the left side of the urinal body 100 .

On the other hand, the urinal body 100 may have an inlet 110 through which urine is drawn in and out at one side, and may form a chamber 120 in which urine is stored.

The inlet 110 may protrude from the ceiling of the urinal body 100 . In addition, the inlet 110 may have a shape protruding from the ceiling at an angle with respect to the central axis of the urinal body 100 that is spaced apart from the handle 200 and connects the ceiling and the floor. At this time, the inlet 110 may protrude from the urinal body 100 at an angle in a direction away from the handle 200 .

The inlet 110 may have an inlet 112 through which urine of the patient is drawn in and out. The withdrawal inlet 112 may be perforated at the distal end of the inlet 110 .

After the patient's genitals are brought into close contact with the intake port 112, urine discharged from the patient's genitals is received through the intake port 112 to the inlet 110, and then passed through the inlet 110 to the chamber 120. ) can lead to (See Fig. 4)

6 is a cross-sectional view of a patient urinal according to an embodiment of the present invention in a lying state, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional patient urinal in a lying state.

As shown in FIG. 6 , when the urinal body 100 is filled with urine to its maximum capacity in a lying state of the patient urinal 1000, the inlet 112 serves to prevent urine from being discharged. To this end, , When the central axis of the urinal body 100 is horizontal with respect to the floor in the state of the patient urinal 1000 lying down, the minimum height of the inlet 112 drawn from the floor is greater than the height of the side wall portion where the handle 200 is disposed from the floor. may have a larger size. At this time, when the urinal body 100 is filled with urine to the maximum capacity, the surface of the urine filled in the urinal body 100 is located at a height relatively lower than the lowest height of the withdrawal port 112 . As a result, when the patient urinal 1000 is laid down, urine filled to the maximum capacity in the urinal body 100 can be prevented from being discharged.

In addition, when the patient urinal 1000 is laid down, the urinal main body 100 can be filled with urine to the maximum capacity. That is, when the maximum capacity of the urinal main body 100 is 1400cc, even when the urinal main body 100 is filled with urine at the maximum capacity of 1400cc and placed in a lying state, the urine does not overflow, so the patient It has the advantage of being able to urinate comfortably without anxiety.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7 , in the conventional patient urinal 1 in a lying state, urine is discharged to the outside even before the urinal body 10 is filled with urine to its maximum capacity. Therefore, the existing patient urinal 1 cannot fill the urinal body 10 with urine to its maximum capacity in a lying state.
