Fig. 8 shows a preferred embodiment of the control method of the smart drainage device of the present invention, including the following steps: S11, host self-detection; S12, photographing and identifying excrement; S131, drainage mode; S132, flood drainage mode; S14, Refreshing mode; S15, storage and upload of physiological information; S16, detection of the status of the dirt collector and washer.

The embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 show that the user selects the automatic operation in the "automatic mode". After the button is activated, the entire process is automated, and the user does not need to select another mode again in the subsequent.

Specifically, in step S11, at the beginning of startup, it is detected whether the smart excretion device 100 is in a normal state, for example, whether the water level of the dirt collector 111 and the washer 112 is normal; whether the dirt collector 111 and the washer 112 return to position Positive: For example, the positioning sensor on the upper cover of the dirt collector 111 determines whether the positioning is correct, if not, the system sends an alarm; whether the physiological monitoring module 120 is normal: For example, set the normal body temperature of the human body within 35-40 degrees to determine the thermometer Whether the human body temperature can be measured correctly, and further judge whether the diaper (even the basin 101) is worn correctly. If the detection is normal, step S12 is performed, and if it is not normal, an alarm S11a is issued.

In step S12 of photographing and identifying excrement, the internal state of the potty is photographed to identify whether there is excrement and to identify the type of excrement. If it is confirmed that the excrement is stool, the excretion mode S131 is executed; if the excrement is urine, the flood drainage mode S132 is executed.

Specifically, the discharge mode S131 includes but is not limited to: S1311 activates the fan module 116 to control the strong wind for N minutes, activates the sterilization module 131, and stores the excrement in the dirt collection through the suction tube 191 器111. Then control the water pump module 118 and the heating module 132 to spray warm water to moisten and clean. S1312: Suction water through the wind and water path assembly 113, the water pipe 193 to the potty 101 to perform stool and anus cleaning. Specifically, spray water to moisten the potty 101 for several seconds (for example : 10 seconds, spray water 120CC), stop for tens of seconds (for example: 45 seconds) and then perform the following operations A. Spray water to clean the anus for a few seconds (for example: 10 seconds, spray water 120CC), B. Stop for tens of seconds (for example : 45 seconds)..... After 4 cycles of AB, AB, AB operations, the water pump module 118 is controlled to clean the urethra, and the water is sucked through the wind and water circuit assembly 113, the water pipe 192 to the bedpan 101 to perform urinary urethra cleaning.

Specifically, the flood discharge mode S132 includes but is not limited to: S1321 activates the fan module 116 to control the medium-strong wind to pump for N minutes, activates the sterilization module 131, and stores the excrement in the dirt collector 111 through the suction tube 191. Then, the control module 115 controls the water pump module 118 and the heating module 132 to spray warm water to the bedpan 101 to clean the urethra S1322. Preferably, the bedpan 101 is wetted with water for a few seconds (for example, 10 seconds, the spray volume is 120cc ), stop for tens of seconds (for example: 45 seconds), and then perform the following operations C. Spray water to clean the urethra for a few seconds (for example: 10 seconds, spray volume 100CC), D. Stop for tens of seconds (for example: 45 seconds)... .This loop CD and CD operations are performed 3 times in total.

Then, the identification module 117 on the host receives the image from the photography module 1171 on the potty 101 to identify whether it is clean, if not, go back to step and continue washing; if so, go to step S14 to refresh mode (ie, bake Dry processing), specifically, the control module 115 controls the fan module 116 to perform air blowing drying processing.

In step S15, all the data detected this time can be stored in the system or uploaded to the data server. Optionally, the physiological information monitoring of the user/patient can be performed before, during, or after excretion, and is not limited.

In step S16, the state of the washer 112 and the dirt collector 111, such as the water level/weight state, is detected after each excretion treatment is completed, for example, whether the water in the washer 112 reaches the supplementary water level/weight, the dirt collector Whether the dirt in 111 meets the cleaning standard, if so, an alarm will be issued.

Preferably, in order to better deodorize, it can also be controlled to periodically start ozone disinfection and blow weak wind for, for example, 2 minutes.

With the help of the intelligent excretion device and control method of the present invention, the bedpan is photographed, and whether there is excrement in the bedpan and the type of excrement are identified intelligently, so as to perform different cleaning modes for different types of excrement, so as to realize the patient Smart nursing, reducing the intensity of care, and improving patient comfort. In addition, the present invention uses a separator module to isolate and separate the excrement from the air, which can prevent the leakage of peculiar smell and further improve the comfort of use.

The above-disclosed are only preferred examples of the present invention, which of course cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present invention still fall within the scope of the present invention.
