Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、おむつの交換時期を検知するために用いられる検知装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より、おむつの交換時期を検知する方法として、例えば特開平1−295149号公報や特開平2−174846号公報に開示されているように、おむつの中に一対の電極を備えた検知センサを配設し、その電極間の抵抗値変化や容量変化を検出することにより、排尿に伴うおむつの濡れを検知するようにしたものが提案されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、おむつの交換は、排尿時だけではなく排便時にも必要であるが、現状では、排便を確実に検知することのできる検知センサは提供されておらず、おむつの最適な交換時期を検知することができなかった。
【0004】
本発明は、このような問題に鑑みなされたものであり、おむつの交換時期を正確に検知できるようにすることを目的としている。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するためになされた請求項1に記載の本発明は、
空気中のインドール及びスカトールのうちの少なくとも一方を臭気として測定する臭気測定手段と、
該臭気測定手段の測定結果に基づき前記臭気を所定時間以上継続して検出したときに、おむつ中の排便を検知する排便検知手段と、
を備えたことを特徴とするおむつの交換時期検知装置を要旨としている。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態、及び発明の効果】
上記のように構成された請求項1に記載のおむつの交換時期検知装置においては、臭気測定手段が、空気中のインドール及びスカトールのうちの少なくとも一方を臭気として測定し、排便検知手段が、臭気測定手段の測定結果に基づいて、おむつ中の排便を検知する。
【0008】
従って、請求項1に記載のおむつの交換時期検知装置によれば、おむつ中の排便を確実に検知することができるようになり、この結果、おむつの交換時期を正確に検知できるようになる。
そして特に、請求項1の交換時期検知装置では、排便検知手段が、臭気測定手段の測定結果に基づき臭気を所定時間以上継続して検出したときに、おむつ中の排便を検知するようにしている。
【0009】
このように構成された請求項1の交換時期検知装置によれば、「おなら」のように臭気の持続時間が短い場合には、排便としては検知されず、本当に排便があったときにだけ、おむつ中の排便が検知されるようになる。よって、おむつの交換時期をより正確に検知することができるようになる。
【0010】
【実施例】
以下、本発明が適用された実施例について図面を用いて説明する。尚、本発明は、下記の実施例に何ら限定されることなく、本発明の技術的範囲に属する限り、種々の形態を採り得ることは言うまでもない
【0011】
図1(A)に示すように、実施例のおむつの交換時期検知装置(以下、単に、検知装置という)80は、おむつ81の所定位置に取り付けられ、空気中の臭気を検出することよって、おむつ81の交換時期を検知するものである。
そして、検知装置80は、図1(B)に示すように、臭気を測定する臭気測定手段としての臭気測定部82を備えている。尚、排便によって発生する臭気は、インドールとスカトールが代表的なものであるため、本実施例において臭気測定部82は、当該検知装置80の本体に設けられた通気孔80aからのインドールを、臭気として測定するように構成されている。
【0012】
そして更に、検知装置80は、タイマ84と、臭気測定部82の測定結果に基づいて排便の発生を検知する、排便検知手段としての判定器86と、ブザーやランプ等からなる報知器88とを備えている。
このように構成された検知装置80においては、判定器86が、臭気測定部82によって測定された上記臭気が所定レベル以上になっているか否かを判定し、所定レベル以上になっている継続時間をタイマ84によって計測する。そして、判定器86は、タイマ84によって計測される時間が所定時間以上になると、排便があったと判定して報知器88を作動させ、これによって、排便があったこと、即ちおむつ81の交換時期が到来したことを第三者に報知する。
【0013】
このように、実施例の検知装置80によれば、おむつ81中の排便を検知できる。しかも、この検知装置80では、臭気が所定レベル以上になっている時間が、所定時間以上継続したときに、おむつ81中の排便を検知するようにしている。従って、おならのように臭気の持続時間が短い場合には、排便としては検知されず、本当に排便があったときにだけ、おむつ中の排便が検知されるようになる。よって、おむつの交換時期をより正確に検知することができるようになる。
【0014】
尚、上記実施例では、臭気測定部82がインドールを臭気として測定するように構成されていたが、スカトールを臭気として測定するように構成してもよい。また、インドールとスカトールの両方を臭気として測定するように構成してもよい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to biopsy known device that is used to detect the replacement time of the diaper.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a method for detecting the diaper replacement time, for example, as disclosed in JP-A-1-295149 and JP-A-2-174844, a detection sensor having a pair of electrodes in a diaper is provided. An arrangement has been proposed in which wetting of a diaper associated with urination is detected by detecting a change in resistance value or a change in capacitance between the electrodes.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, diaper's exchange, it is necessary also during defecation not only during urination, at present, the detection sensor that can reliably detect the defecation has not been provided, the optimum time to replace the diaper Could not be detected.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object thereof is to enable accurate detection of a diaper replacement time.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention according to claim 1,
Odor measuring means for measuring at least one of indole and skatole in the air as odor;
Defecation detection means for detecting defecation in a diaper when the odor is detected continuously for a predetermined time or more based on the measurement result of the odor measurement means;
The gist of a diaper replacement time detection device characterized by comprising:
[0007]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In replacement timing detecting device of the diaper according to Structure claims 1 as described above, the odor measuring means, at least one of the indole及 beauty skatole in air is measured as an odor, defecation detector Based on the measurement result of the odor measuring means, defecation in the diaper is detected.
[0008]
Therefore, according to the diaper replacement time detection device of the first aspect, it is possible to reliably detect defecation in the diaper, and as a result, it is possible to accurately detect the diaper replacement time.
In particular, in the replacement time detection device according to claim 1, when the defecation detection means continuously detects odor for a predetermined time or more based on the measurement result of the odor measurement means, it detects stool in the diaper. .
[0009]
According to the replacement timing detection device of claim 1 configured as described above, when the duration of the odor is short, such as “Fart”, it is not detected as defecation, but only when defecation is really present. Defecation in diapers will be detected. Therefore, the diaper replacement time can be detected more accurately.
[0010]
【Example】
Embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described below with reference to the drawings. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the following examples and can take various forms as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present invention .
[0011]
As shown in FIG. 1 ( A), a diaper replacement time detection device (hereinafter simply referred to as a detection device) 80 of this embodiment is attached to a predetermined position of a diaper 81 and detects odors in the air. The diaper 81 replacement time is detected.
And the detection apparatus 80 is provided with the odor measurement part 82 as an odor measurement means which measures an odor, as shown to FIG. 1 ( B). In addition, since odors generated by defecation are typically indole and skatole, in this embodiment, the odor measuring unit 82 converts the indole from the vent 80a provided in the main body of the detection device 80 into odor. Is configured to measure as
[0012]
Further, the detection device 80 includes a timer 84, a determination device 86 as defecation detection means for detecting the occurrence of defecation based on the measurement result of the odor measurement unit 82, and an alarm device 88 including a buzzer, a lamp, and the like. I have.
In the detection device 80 configured as described above, the determination unit 86 determines whether or not the odor measured by the odor measuring unit 82 is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, and the duration time that is equal to or higher than the predetermined level. Is measured by the timer 84. Then, when the time measured by the timer 84 becomes equal to or longer than a predetermined time, the determiner 86 determines that there has been a bowel movement and activates the alarm device 88, whereby the bowel movement has occurred, that is, the diaper 81 replacement time. Inform third parties that has arrived.
[0013]
Thus, according to the detection device 80 of the present embodiment, defecation in the diaper 81 can be detected. In addition, the detection device 80 detects defecation in the diaper 81 when the time during which the odor is at or above a predetermined level continues for a predetermined time or longer. Therefore, when the duration of the odor is short like a fart, it is not detected as defecation, and defecation in the diaper is detected only when there is a true defecation. Therefore, the diaper replacement time can be detected more accurately.
[0014]
In the above you施例, but the odor measurement unit 82 is configured to measure the indole as an odor, skatole and may be configured to measure the odor. Moreover, you may comprise so that both indole and skatole may be measured as an odor.
