DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to enable persons who have difficulty moving to the toilet to defecate due to illness or aging to be able to defecate in the same position on a bed or the like, The present invention relates to a handy stool that allows a person who has difficulty in normal defecation due to severe constipation or hemorrhoids to easily defecate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Patients such as those described above (hereinafter simply referred to as "patients")
Conventionally, the stool was softened by an enema or the like, and the peristalsis of the rectum caused by the stimulation of the enema or the like was promoted to defecate.

In such a case, the stool softens after enema,
And it is necessary to endure defecation until the peristalsis of the rectum becomes active, and it is necessary to act such as defecation after a lapse of time, and on the patient side, if you are not used to defecation with such an enema, various things However, this method cannot be applied to patients who are not capable of inducing rectal peristalsis as described above due to inconvenience and loss of physical strength.

[0004] Furthermore, bedridden patients defecate on bedding, causing contamination and odor in hospital rooms, bedrooms, etc., which causes discomfort to other patients and family members who are nursing. .

Further, in order to remove stool solidified due to strong constipation, it was necessary to perform defecation (digging work with fingers). Furthermore, apart from the above, in order to collect stool from the necessity of stool test etc., it has been conventionally performed to insert a stool from the anus to collect stool, but this is suitable for obtaining a small sample. However, it is unsuitable for causing a large amount of daily defecation.

[0006]

Therefore, the problems to be solved are that the enema requires skill on the part of the patient as well as severe exhaustion of the physical strength, as a means for evacuating a patient who has difficulty in defecation. In addition, defecation in the room may cause contamination or odor in the room, and the conventional collection using a urinal is not suitable for discharging a large amount of daily stool, even though it is suitable for stool inspection. That is.

[0007] In addition, after solving the above problems, there is a need for a stool that is handy and can be operated by the patient himself or herself depending on the medical condition.

In addition, the suction hose 2 has an operating lever 8 of the opening / closing valve 7.
However, the operation lever 9 of the open / close valve is juxtaposed with the water injection hose 1.
The pistol is operated by operators such as nurses and patients themselves.
Hold the rear hollow holding portion 6 by hand so as to hold it,
Insert the anal insertion nozzle 5 into the anus, and
Repeat steps 8 and 9 with your fingertips to repeat water injection and suction.
It has a handy configuration that can be used.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, a hollow gripper
6 is used as a part of the suction hose 2, and the water injection hose 1 is connected to a valve (not shown) for opening and closing the water injection hose 1 from another place. However, the invention is not limited to this structure.
Both hoses 1 and 2 may be configured to penetrate through the hollow gripping portion 6, or both hoses 1 and 2 may be configured to pass through the outside of the gripping portion 6 and be connected to the respective valves. It can be designed. Further, as a member for operating the opening and closing valves of the suction hose 2 and the water injection hose 1 ,
Although the lever is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this,
A push button or the like may be used. However, it is desirable to use a member such as a lever or a push button that can be easily operated with a fingertip while holding the grip portion 6 with a hand .
Objects that cannot be operated with a fingertip, such as a screw-in type, should be avoided.

[0012] The water injection hose 1 is also a suction hose 2.
Both are made of a flexible material such as soft vinyl chloride or the like, but the anal insertion nozzle 5 is preferably made of a flexible material such as silicone resin and has a hardness suitable for insertion of the anus. . The stool collection cup 10 is made of a transparent or translucent material such as acrylic resin or glass, and protrudes from the front end 4 of the suction hose as shown in the figure.
End of the inserted anal insertion nozzle 5 and the rear hollow grip 6
Is installed in a passage connecting between the connection part 11 of the vacuum equipment provided in the above. That is, the stool collection cup 10
Can be attached to the lid 12 in an airtight and detachable manner.
It screwed via a packing 13 to. Thus, if the connection portion 11 of the suction hose is connected to the suction port of the vacuum equipment to be described later, the inside of the collection cup 10 is reduced in pressure, and the negative pressure due to the reduced pressure reaches the anal insertion nozzle 5. In addition, since the collection cup 10 is made of a transparent or translucent material, it is possible to easily check the amount of collected stool, an abnormal state of stool (for example, whether blood is mixed, etc.), and the like.

[0013] Then, the suction hose connection portion 11 of the rear predicates
Either directly, or backup receiver to the vacuum equipment as
15 as well as a water supply hose
The connection portion 14 is used by being connected to a water injection facility such as a faucet of a water pipe or a discharge port (not shown) of a water injection pump.

In the above description, the vacuum equipment refers to a vacuum pump or the like, and the vacuum in this specification is, as generally used, a low pressure compared to a normal atmospheric pressure (atmospheric pressure). However, the vacuum equipment is not necessarily a vacuum pump, but in a large hospital or the like, when the opening of the vacuum duct is arranged in each hospital room, the opening of the vacuum duct is used. And so on.

The method of using the embodiment shown in each of the above drawings will be described. An operator of this handy convenience device, such as a nurse or a patient , holds the hollow gripper 6 in his hand and holds the anal insertion nozzle 5. Is inserted into the patient's anus and a watering hose 1 is inserted.
Opening and closing lever 9 of suction hose 2 alternately
When the pressurized water is fed into the water injection hose 1 and the suction hose 2 is evacuated by operating with a fingertip , the pressurized water is pressed into the anus from the tip of the water injection hose 1 by the nozzle 5 and the stool in the rectum of the patient is discharged. Is softened, and a negative pressure from the vacuum equipment is applied to the suction hose 2 , so that the softened stool is sucked into the suction hose 2 and drawn out.

However, since the stool collection cup 10 is interposed as described above on the way from the distal end portion 4 of the suction hose to the vacuum device, the stool sucked by the suction hose is not affected by the negative pressure. The other air and the like in the suction hose are sucked into vacuum equipment such as a vacuum pump.

In this case, the water injection from the water supply hose into the anus and the suction by the suction hose need not always be performed at the same time, and the opening and closing levers of the water injection hose and the suction hose are separately operated by lever operation. hand,
Needless to say, suction may be performed after the patient's stool is softened and rectal peristalsis begins after water is injected into the anus by the water injection hose. However,
As described above, some patients who are not accustomed to enema etc. may excrete immediately after water injection.In such a case, apply a weak negative pressure to the suction hose and allow the patient to excrete. When done, care should be taken to prepare this immediately for suction into the suction hose.

Although the present invention can be used as described above with the above-described configuration, a power unit as shown in FIG. 2 is separately provided, and a suction port of the suction hose is provided at a suction port of a vacuum pump of the power unit. If you connect the parts,
It can be used more conveniently.

FIG. 2 is a schematic side view showing an example of a power unit for use in the above-mentioned handy toilet apparatus according to the present invention, which is provided with a backup receiver 15 similar to the above-mentioned stool collection cup. In addition, a vacuum pump 16 and a deodorizer 17 are attached.

A lid 18 is hermetically attached to the backup receiver 15 by screwing or the like via a packing, and a vacuum pump 16 is mounted on the lid 18. The suction port 19 of the vacuum pump 16 is Lid 18
The exhaust port 20 of the vacuum pump is connected to the deodorizer 17. The other end of the lid 18 is connected to a terminal 11 of the suction hose. As a result, the terminal 11 of the suction hose is connected to the backup receiver 15.
Through the suction port 19 of the vacuum pump. In the illustrated embodiment, a handle 21 of the backup receiver is attached to the lid 18 of the backup receiver so that the power unit or the backup receiver 15 can be easily transported.

When the power unit as described above is used, the power unit and the portable stool shown in FIG.
1 is the lid of the backup receiver of the power unit.
8 and the terminal 11 of the water injection hose is connected to a water tap or a hot water injection pump, etc., so that the above-mentioned defecation work can be performed easily and more completely.

That is, in this case, the vacuum pump 16 serves as the above-mentioned vacuum equipment to reduce the pressure in the suction hose 2 to suck the stool, and to inject water into the water supply hose from a water tap or the like. If a part of the patient's stool is not collected in the stool collection cup 10 but is suctioned to the vicinity of the power unit by the negative pressure of the vacuum pump, it is expected that the stool will be collected in the backup receiver 15. It is possible to prevent an accident that a part of the flight that has flown without being collected in the cup 10 enters the vacuum pump 16 and breaks the pump. For this purpose, it is also effective to put a filter made of fiber or the like in the backup receiver 15.

The exhaust port 20 of the vacuum pump of the power unit illustrated in FIG. 2 is connected to the deodorizer 17 as described above, so that the odor contained in the exhaust from the vacuum pump during the stool operation is reduced. It is deodorized by the deodorizer 17.

Instead of connecting the deodorizer 17 to the exhaust port 10 of the vacuum pump as described above, a long exhaust duct (not shown) is attached to the exhaust port of the vacuum pump, and the exhaust duct is exposed outdoors. For example, by guiding the stool to a septic tank, a sewer, or the like, it is possible to prevent stool odor and the like from remaining indoors.

In the above, an example of injecting water into the anus has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to use hot water or to inject an enema containing castor oil or the like mixed with water or hot water. Needless to say, a deodorant may be mixed if necessary. In this case, an enema or the like may be put in the water tank of the power unit, and the treatment may be performed in the same manner as described above.

In places having large-scale facilities such as hospitals, instead of using a power unit as shown in FIG. 2, a collecting tank for all wards is provided in one corner of the hospital, and a large-scale vacuum pump is provided. Then, a suction duct is piped from the waste collection tank to each sickroom, and the connection part 14 of the water injection hose is connected to the faucet of each sickroom in the sickroom. If the hose connection portion 11 is attached to the attachment port of the suction duct in each hospital room, only the handy convenience device shown in FIG. 1 can be brought into the room to perform the suction operation.

As described above, it is possible to perform the defecation work on the patient, but the anal opening device 22 shown in the perspective view of FIG.
Is connected, the nozzle provided with the water injection hose and the suction hose can be easily inserted into the anus of the patient, which is more convenient.

That is, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an example of the anal opening device 22 in a perspective view. FIG. 24 shows a handle, and by operating the handle 24, the anal opening portion 25 at the tip is opened and the anal opening portion 25 is opened. At the base of the anal widening part 25, a nozzle 23 for an anal widening device that connects a water injection hose and a suction hose can be fitted. Therefore, after the patient's anus has been widened using such an anal spread device 22, the nozzle 23 for the anal spread device is fitted to the base of the anal spread portion 25, as described above. Such a stool sucking operation can be performed, and not only can the nurse insert the nozzle into the anus of the patient easily, but also the pain given to the patient can be reduced. However, the nozzle 23 for the anal dilatation device referred to here does not need to have the same shape as the anal insertion nozzle 3 described in FIG. 1, and the nozzle 3 illustrated in FIG. In contrast to the shape, the nozzle 23 for the anal spreading device does not necessarily have to have such a shape, but may be any shape that fits into the base of the anal spreading portion 24.
