Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic urination processing apparatus that is attached to an elderly person who is difficult to walk on his own, an inpatient, a handicapped person, or other person who has difficulty in controlling or ending urination according to his / her will and processing urination.

  In general, elderly people who are difficult to walk on their own, disabled people, inpatients with injuries and illnesses, etc., often have difficulty controlling urination on their own initiative, and it is difficult to clean up urine by themselves. It can be difficult. In order to process such human urination, an automatic urine processing apparatus has been proposed in which urine absorbed in a urine absorbing material of a urine receiver is sucked by a vacuum pump and guided to a urine tank. The vacuum pump sucks the air in the sealed urine tank and guides the urine absorbed by the urine receiver to the urine tank by the urine guide tube by the differential pressure from the atmospheric pressure. Such an automatic urination processing apparatus is described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below, for example.

Conventionally proposed automatic urine processing device is in a state where the urine receiver is in contact with the urine drainage part of the wearer, that is, the urine absorbing material of the urine receiver is opened to the atmosphere so that urine is sucked. The efficiency of collecting urine from the urine receiver (urine absorption material) decreases. For this reason, the amount of residual urine from the urine receiver (urine absorption material) increases, which causes discomfort to the wearer. In order to reduce the amount of residual urine from the urine receiver, the capacity of the vacuum pump must be increased, and the weight and volume of the automatic urine disposal apparatus itself must be increased. Therefore, the situation is that it cannot be put into practical use as a portable automatic urination treatment apparatus.
In order to solve this problem, the present applicant improves the urine recovery rate from the urine receiver, reduces the amount of residual urine from the urine receiver, and can suck urine with a small-capacity vacuum pump, thereby reducing the size and weight of the device. A portable automatic urination treatment device that can be used has been proposed. For example, there are Japanese Patent Application Nos. 2003-63529, 2003-63455, 2003-206340, and the like.

  By the way, it is necessary to keep the urine receiver of the automatic urination processing apparatus clean by exchanging the urine receiver periodically or when it becomes dirty due to stool. As a conventional device for exchanging the urine receiver, for example, a joint is attached to the leading end of the introduction tube provided in the urine tank. The urine receiver can be exchanged by inserting and removing the end of the urinary tube integrated with the urine receiver into the joint. This is described, for example, in Patent Document 2 below.

JP-A-7-171182 JP 2003-126242 A

  The prior art uses a urinary tube to connect from the urine receiver to the urine tank. There is also a signal line for detecting the urination and operating the pump. When exchanging the urine receiver, these urinary tract tubes and signal lines extending from the urine receiver tend to be entangled with the wearer's foot, making it difficult to work. In particular, when the wearer is bedridden for a long time and the hip joint and knee joint become hard, it becomes difficult to apply the urine receiver to the local area, and the labor is excessive for the wearer and the exchanger. Furthermore, urine adhering to the urinary tube tends to scatter, and both the wearer and the exchanger tend to be filthy. In particular, in a portable automatic urination processing apparatus, it is necessary to replace the urine receiver every day, which is a serious problem in practical use.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a portable automatic urination processing apparatus that can easily and cleanly replace a urine receiver.

A feature of the present invention is that a urine detection signal obtained by detecting the urine discharged by the urine receiver with a conductor foil is applied to the urine processing apparatus main body via a signal line, and the urinary tube is an end portion of the urine receiver. It is configured to be detachable from the urine receiver in the vicinity, and the conductor foil is also configured to be detachable from the signal line near the end of the urine receiver, so that the urinary tube and the detachable part of the conductor foil are gathered in one place In the automatic urination apparatus, the conductor foil is sandwiched and reinforced and protected by a conductor foil protection sheet, and the tip portion is exposed from the conductor foil protection sheet and disposed in the conductor foil joint, and the signal line Is provided in the conductor foil joint with an electrode surface so as to be in contact with the conductor foil, and the conductor protective sheet is pressed and sandwiched between the conductor foil joint. Is characterized in that serial conductor foil is electrically connected to the electrode surface.

  The present invention provides a urine receiver urine discharge tube and urine guide tube attachment / detachment portion, a urine sensor conductor foil and signal wire attachment / detachment portion near the end of the urine receiver, and these joint portions can be easily assembled together. By making it possible to attach and detach the urine receiver, the urine receiver can be exchanged easily and cleanly.

The urine excreted by the wearer is sucked by the urine receiver. The urine tank is sealed by a lid having a tube guide hole. A urine storage container is stored in the urine tank . Catheterization tube is adapted to direct the urine into the urine tank from the urine discharge hole provided in the urine receiver. The vacuum pump reduces the pressure in the urine tank and collects urine in a urine storage container. The urine receiver is provided with a conductor foil for detecting urinated urine. The urine detection signal detected by the conductor foil is applied to the urine processing apparatus main body via a signal line. The urinary tube is configured to be detachable from the urine receiver near the end of the urine receiver, and the conductor foil is configured to be detachable from the signal line near the end of the urine receiver. The attachment / detachment part of the urinary tube and the conductor foil is integrated and can be attached / detached with one touch.

  1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a portable automatic urination processing apparatus of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a urine receiver configuration. FIG. 3 is an example of a position where the urine discharge tube is attached to the urine discharge hole of the urine receiver, and is a perspective view from the lower surface of the urine receiver. 4 and 5 are perspective views showing an arrangement example when connecting the conductor foil, the signal line, the urine discharge tube, and the urinary tube. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the one-touch joint for conductive foil.

  1 to 3, the urine receiver 1 is illustrated in a plan view. However, in practice, it is preferable that the surface that contacts the crotch of the wearer is bulged to the crotch side of the wearer. When the cross section of the crotch portion is viewed in cross section, the urine receiver 1 may be folded in a Ω shape. Further, the urine receiver 1 is formed in a shape in which a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction (front and rear direction of the wearer) located between the wearer's crotch is narrowed and narrowed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Further, the urine excreted from the urination part of the wearer is formed so as not to leak by using a shape holding sheet or a gather (not shown).

  As proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-63529, Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-63455, Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-206340, etc. previously filed by the present applicant as the urine receiver 1, the urine recovery rate is improved. The amount of residual urine in the urine receiver is reduced, and a urine receiver capable of sucking urine with a small-capacity vacuum pump is used. As shown in FIG. 2, the urine receiver 1 according to the present embodiment includes a shape holding sheet 3a, 3b for maintaining the shape of the urine receiver on the support sheets 7a, 7b, a nonwoven fabric 6 that directly receives urine, and urine leakage. Gathers 5 for preventing urine, substantially strip-like conductor foils 9a and 9b for detecting urination, conductor foil protective tape 4 arranged so as to cover the conductor foil, and between the nonwoven fabric 6 and the support sheet 7a The urine collection mechanism 2 is arranged.

  The urine collection mechanism 2 is composed of a bead-shaped space holding material (not shown). The urine collection mechanism 2 plays a role of maintaining a space in the urination portion of the urine receiver 1 and maintaining a certain amount of urine in the urine receiver 1. The conductor foils 9a and 9b are electric conductors, and are electrically conducted by urination, and detect the urination of the wearer by a change in resistance value. The support sheets 7a and 7b are formed of a flexible material such as a foamed polyethylene sheet. The conductive foil protective tape 4 is made of non-woven fabric or the same type, and plays a role of protecting the conductive foil having a low mechanical strength and adjusting the sensitivity of urine detection.

  One end of the urine discharge tube 12 is bonded to the urine discharge hole 1 a formed in the urine receiver 1. The attachment surface with the urine discharge hole 1a, that is, the cut surface of the urine discharge tube 12 is formed so as to be inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction. At the time of urine suction by a vacuum pump, by increasing the cross-sectional area at the entrance to the urine discharge tube 12, it reduces the entrainment of air into the urine discharge tube 12 and reduces noise peculiar to suction, The flow rate to be sucked is ensured. In this embodiment, an angle of 30 degrees is provided with respect to the longitudinal direction.

  The urine detection signal due to the conduction of the conductor foils 9a and 9b is transmitted to the control base (not shown) provided in the portable automatic urine processing apparatus main body (urine processing apparatus main body) 30 through the signal line 15 by the urination of the wearer. The The conductor foils 9a and 9b are made of a material having a very low mechanical strength because the thickness is about 12 μm and the material is aluminum so that the urine receiver 1 can be discarded as a combustible material after use. Has been. Moreover, the urine receiver 1 intended for disposable use is inconvenient because it must be separated at the time of disposal if a connector similar to a general electric device or a strong metal plate is used. The cost of the expensive urine receiver 1 is increased.

  In the present invention, the conductor foils 9a and 9b are reinforced by being sandwiched between the conductor foil protective sheets 8a and 8b. Moreover, the conductor foil protection sheets 8a and 8b also play a role of insulating from the outside. As shown in FIG. 5, the conductor foils 9 a, 9 b and the conductor foil protection sheets 8 a, 8 b are connected to the conductor foil joint 10 while securing an arbitrary length in front of the urine receiver 1.

  Moreover, in this invention, the joint 10 for conductor foils as shown in FIG. 7 is used. The conductor foil joint 10 sandwiches the tips of the conductor foil protective sheets 8a and 8b including the conductor foils 9a and 9b between the open / close plate 10b and the bottom plate 10c. The opening / closing plate 10b is fixed by an opening / closing plate pressing plate 10a. Electrode surfaces 14a and 14b are disposed on the opening and closing plate 10b and the bottom plate 10c, respectively. When the leading ends of the conductor foil protective sheets 8a and 8b are sandwiched between the opening / closing plate 10b and the bottom plate 10c, the conductor foil 9a can be brought into contact with the electrode surface 14a, and the conductor foil 9b can be brought into contact with the electrode surface 14b, respectively.

  The conductor foil protective sheets 8a and 8b are made of the same material as the support sheet 7 of the urine receiver 1 and the like. The reason for reducing the width of the tip is to reduce the size of the conductor foil joint 10. However, if the width of the tip of the conductive foil divided into the left and right two poles as used in this embodiment is narrowed and the size of the mounting portion is reduced, positioning becomes difficult when manually attached. In other words, if a shift occurs in the left-right direction, it becomes difficult to accurately connect to both conductor foils.

  In the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an L-shaped notch is provided at the tip of the conductor foil protective sheets 8a and 8b, and one end of the two-pole (two strips) conductor foils 9a and 9b is exposed. Thus, by combining the conductor foil protection sheets 8a and 8b so as to be opposite to each other, the end portions of the conductor foils 9a and 9b can be separated into upper and lower surfaces and exposed.

  The conductor foils 9a and 9b, the conductor foil protection sheets 8a and 8b, and the urine discharge tube 12 are connected to the respective joints 10 and 11 while securing an arbitrary length in front of the urine receiver 1. The reason why the conductor foils 9a and 9b and the conductor foil protection sheets 8a and 8b and the urine discharge tube 12 are secured to the front of the urine receiver 1 is that the wearer wears underwear together with the urine receiver 1 This is because the connecting portion between the urine discharge tube 12 and the conductor foils 9a and 9b is pulled out of the underwear. Therefore, the length of the conductive foil protection sheets 8a and 8b is about 15 cm. This length is changed in accordance with the wearer's physique and the like. Moreover, the attachment position (length) of the conductor foils 9a and 9b and the conductor foil one-touch joint 10 and the attachment position (length) of the urine discharge tube 12 and the tube joint 11 are set to the same position, both Can be installed together.

  The conductor foil joint 10 desirably has a clip-like configuration that can be fixed with one touch, such as forming a mechanism for sandwiching the thin plate-like conductor foils 9a and 9b. In order to fix the conductor foils 9a and 9b, the opening / closing plate 10b can be pressurized by the opening / closing lid 10a, but the opening / closing lid 10a may be omitted by using a spring mechanism 10f as shown in FIG. Is possible. Various materials such as plastic and metal can be used as the material for the joint 10 for the conductor foil. However, regarding the material having electrical continuity, processing for insulating the contact surface with the conductor foils 9a and 9b. It is necessary to apply.

  The tube joint 11 can be fixed with one touch using, for example, the outer diameter surface of the urinary tube 13. This is because if the minimum inner diameter of the tube joint 11 is smaller than the inner diameter of the urinary tube 13, the pressure loss during urine suction increases, leading to a reduction in performance of a small vacuum pump.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the urinary tract tube 13 and the signal line 15 are respectively attached to a tube connection port 34 and a signal line connection port 35 on the upper surface of the urine processing apparatus main body 30. At this time, the urinary tube 13 is fixed to the tube connection port 34 without a gap by one touch.

  When a wearer (not shown) urinates in this state, the conductor foils 9a and 9b provided in the urine receiver 1 are electrically connected, and pass through the signal line 15 to the control board (inside the portable automatic urine treatment apparatus main body 30). (Not shown) as a urine detection signal. The control device mounted on the control board starts a motor (not shown) housed in the bottom cover 33 and drives a vacuum pump (not shown) housed in the bottom cover 33. To do.

  When the air in the sealed urine tank 32 is exhausted by the driving of the vacuum pump, the atmospheric pressure in the urine tank 32 is lowered, and the urine discharge hole of the urine receiver 1 is passed through the urine guide tube 13 and the urine discharge tube 12. A negative pressure is generated in 1a. The urine absorbed by the urine receiver 1 is efficiently sucked into the urine discharge tube 12 by the suction force due to the negative pressure when the urine discharge hole 1a becomes negative pressure. The urine sucked into the urine discharge tube 12 is led and stored in the urine tank 32 by the negative pressure through the tube joint 11, the urine guide tube 13, and the tube connection port 34 in the upper lid 33.

  When the excretion of the wearer is finished and the urine detection signals of the conductor foils 9a and 9b disappear, the control device mounted on the control board stops the motor after 40 to 60 seconds for drying the inside of the urine receiver 1 Then stop the vacuum pump. The operation for drying is an operation that does not affect the wearer, such as discomfort, and in this embodiment, the air flow rate in the urine receiver is about 0.1 m / sec, and the humidity is about 55%. It is said. The stop operation can also be performed by the manual switch 36.

  FIG. 8 shows a detailed perspective view of the portable automatic urination processing apparatus main body 30. A dedicated bag for storing urine is disposed in the urine tank 32. This bag has the structure of a paper pack used for a vacuum cleaner, for example, and is used by making the shape matched with the urine tank water resistant. A superabsorbent resin that makes urine gel is placed in the bag. The accumulated urine can be incinerated with the bag and can be discarded as combustible material. When the capacity of the dedicated bag for storing urine can store urination for two times, the next urination process is performed in the same manner.

  When the urine receiver 1 becomes dirty after about one day of use or after defecation, the conductor foils 9a and 9b and the signal line 15, and the urine discharge tube 12 and the urinary tube 13 are disconnected, and the urine receiver 1 is discarded. be able to. Then, a new urine receiver 1 is attached to the wearer. At this time, since the urine receiver 1 is separated from the urine guide tube 12 and the signal line 15, the urine receiver 1 can be easily exchanged without being entangled with the legs of the wearer. The urine receiver 1 is a combustible material and can be incinerated.

  When replacing the urine receiver 1, the urine receiver 1 is taken out from a bag (not shown) in which the new urine receiver 1 is packed. Like to do. This is because when the conductor foils 9a and 9b of the urine receiver are electrically connected at the time of mounting, the urine receiver to be used is checked for any abnormality such as disconnection. When a new urine receiver is mounted and there is no electrical continuity when the conductor foil and the urine discharge tube are connected, a warning is displayed on the display device 39 of the portable automatic urine treatment apparatus main body 30. If there is electrical continuity, it is determined that there is no problem, and the normal operation mode is started.

  The disconnection of the urine receiver 1 can be determined by providing an electrical resistance between the two poles of the conductor foils 9a and 9b. A new urine receiver 1 is attached and a warning can be issued if a set amount of current does not flow. Note that this disconnection determination is effective when the power supply can always be secured because the power consumption tends to increase.

  On the other hand, it is necessary to replace the urinary tube 13 in 2 to 3 days at the longest from the viewpoint of hygiene. The replacement of the urinary tube 13 can be disconnected from the tube connection port 34 by one touch and can be removed from the connector 16 connected to the signal line 15 to be used continuously. In the tube connection port 34, what has the same structure as the one-touch joint 11 for tubes can be utilized for the attachment side of the urinary tube 13. Further, the upper lid 31 is tightly sealed using a packing (not shown) or the like. In this way, the urinary tube 13 can be easily and cleanly replaced. A joint having the same shape as the one-touch joint 10 for conductive foil can be used for the signal line 15, the upper lid 31, and the signal line attachment port 35 in the first embodiment.

  The urine discharge tube 12 and the urine guide tube 13 used in this example are those having an inner diameter of 4 mm (outer diameter of 6 mm) in accordance with a small-capacity vacuum pump. As the material, a silicon-based resin having a hardness of about 50 and relatively easily deformed is used. By utilizing the softness of the material, it is possible to reduce noise due to the influence of bubbles or the like that are involved during suction. However, it is necessary to keep the hardness so as not to be crushed by the weight of the wearer.

  The small-capacity vacuum pump of this embodiment can use, for example, an alkaline battery or a secondary battery as a battery, has a rotary mechanism, and can obtain a urine suction flow rate of about 15 to 20 ml / sec or more. Say something with performance. Further, when combined with the motor, the entire physique is as small as 30 mm in diameter and 70 mm in length, and the battery voltage is about 6 to 9V.

  In this way, the urination of the wearer is processed, but in this embodiment, several other operation modes are set. First, as control to avoid abnormal operation of the device, the current value during pump operation should be monitored as a means to prevent empty operation of the pump and waste of power, such as when the conductor foil has caused an abnormal reaction. Yes. For example, when the pump is idling, a current of about 0.3 A flows to the control board. Further, when sucking urine, a current of 0.8 A or more flows. Therefore, when the current value does not flow 0.8 A or more continuously for 60 seconds from the start of the pump operation, it is determined that urine is not sucked, and the pump is stopped. In order to prevent idling of the pump, a weight sensor can be provided in the urine tank 32. At this time, the weight in the tank 32 is monitored for 60 seconds from the start of the pump operation, and if there is no fluctuation, the pump is stopped.

  A mode is also set to minimize the stuffiness when the wearer is using the device for a long time. At the time of urination, the drying operation is performed for 40 to 60 seconds after the urine suction as described above. Even when the wearer does not urinate for about 3 hours, the pump is activated to perform the operation for preventing the stuffiness. As for the operation time at this time, as in the drying operation after urination, the operation is performed for 60 seconds so that the flow rate of air in the urine receiver is about 0.1 m / sec and the humidity is about 55%.

  The conductor foils 9a and 9b shown in the present embodiment use aluminum for easy understanding of the conductive material, but if it has conductivity and can be discarded together with the urine receiver 1, Other materials may be used. For example, a conductive film containing polyethylene as a main component can be used. In this embodiment, the term “conductor foil” is used to indicate that low mechanical strength and disposal are taken into consideration. For example, “conductor” It is easy to understand that “line” is acceptable.

  FIG. 9 shows a configuration of a main part in another embodiment of the present invention.

  The embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is different from the embodiment 1 in that the conductor foil protective sheets 8c and 8d sandwiching the conductor foils 9a and 9b, the reinforcing plate 17 are provided at the mounting portions of the conductor foils 9a and 9b, and the conductor foil 9a. 9b and the electrode surfaces 14c and 14d are in the same direction.

  In Example 1, since the foamed polyethylene sheet or the like is used as the material of the conductor foil protection sheets 8a and 8b, even if the guides 10a and 10b are present, they may be displaced or distorted. For this reason, the electrode surfaces 14a and 14b have been installed on the upper and lower surfaces, but the positioning by the guides 10a and 10b can be reliably performed by providing the reinforcing plate 17, so that the directions of the electrode surfaces 14c and 14d are the same direction. can do. However, it is desirable to use a material such as a rigid foamed polyethylene sheet in consideration of when the urine receiver 1 is discarded.

  FIG. 10 shows a main configuration in another embodiment of the present invention.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 10 is different from the embodiment 1 in that a funnel-shaped fitting is attached to the urine discharge tube 12 and the urine guide tube 13, and the conductor foils 9a and 9b, the urine discharge tube 12 and the urine guide are attached using a lid. can be attached to tube 13 at the same time, there is to using an integrated one-touch joint 1 9.

  In the integrated one-touch joint 19 shown in FIG. 10, each tube guide hole 19d has a simple cylindrical shape, and the integrated one-touch joint lid 19a and the integrated one-touch joint body 19b have electrode surfaces 14e and 14f, respectively. Is attached. Further, a stopper 19c for holding the end face of the tube fitting 18 is attached to the integrated one-touch joint lid 19a. The stopper 19c has a spring-like characteristic having a repulsive force.

  In this configuration, in order to attach the urine discharge tube 12 integrated with the funnel-shaped tube fitting 18 and the conductor foils 9a and 9b to the integrated one-touch joint 19, the urine discharge tube with the lid 19a removed. 12 is inserted into the tube guide hole 19d. The diameter of the tube guide hole 19d is 7.2 mm, and the maximum diameter of the outer diameter surface taper portion of the funnel-shaped tube fitting 18 is 8.0 mm, and the minimum diameter is 6.2 mm. Accordingly, the tube fitting 18 contacts the side of the tube guide hole 19d in the vicinity of the middle in the length direction.

  On the other hand, since the tips of the conductor foils 9a and 9b are set to the same length as the tip of the tube as in the first embodiment, they are arranged on the electrode surface 14f. In this state, when the integrated one-touch joint lid 19a is covered from above, the electrode surface 14e and the conductor foil 9a are in contact with each other, and the electrode surface 14f and the conductor foil 9b are in contact with each other. Since the end surface of the mounting tool 18 is pressed, the tube mounting tool 18 is fixed in close contact with the tube guide hole 19d. In this way, a joint having a complicated shape is not required, and both the tube and the conductor foil can be attached and detached with a single touch.

  FIG. 11 shows a configuration of a main part in another embodiment of the present invention.

  In the first to third embodiments, the signal line 15 and the urinary tube 13 are integrated by the connector 16. However, the conductive signal line paint is applied to the urine discharge tube and the urinary tube, so that the tube is completely integrated. It can also be converted. FIG. 11 shows an example.

  One end of a urine discharge tube 22 is bonded to the urine discharge hole 1a formed in the urine receiver 1, and a conductive signal line paint 22a is applied to the left and right surfaces. The conductor foil protection sheets 8e and 8f cover the urine discharge tube 22 so as to wrap, and the conductor foils 9a and 9b incorporated therein are configured to be in contact with the signal line paint 22a and to be energized.

  In addition, a joint 21 in which signal lines are wired is used as a joint between the urine discharge tube 22 and the urine guide tube 23. And it attaches to the portable automatic urination processing apparatus main body 30 using the joint (not shown) by which the signal wire was wired.

  In the above embodiment, the urine detection signal from the conductor foil is transmitted to the control board through the signal line, but if connected to an IC chip or the like and the urine detection signal is transmitted wirelessly, Needless to say, the wiring of the signal lines can be omitted. However, the same mechanism as the one-touch joint 10 for conductive foil is used for the connection portion between the conductive foils 9a and 9b and the IC chip.

  The portable automatic urination processing apparatus shown in the present embodiment is designed to cope with various living situations. For example, when living on a bed, the portable automatic urination processing apparatus main body 30 is usually arranged by a method such as hanging on the side of the bed. In consideration of changing the posture of the wearer such as turning over, it is desirable that the length of the urinary tube 13 is about 2 m. On the other hand, when moving using a wheelchair or the like, the length of the urinary tube is preferably about 80 cm so as not to get caught in wheels or the like. Therefore, in the portable automatic urination processing apparatus of the present invention, two types of length of the urinary tube 13 are prepared so that they can be exchanged according to living conditions. In addition, if the mechanism (not shown) which winds up a tube is used for the portable automatic urination processing device main body 30, it can be used without exchanging the urinary tube.

  Although the main application of the configuration shown in the present embodiment is aimed at a portable automatic urination processing apparatus, it can be partially applied as another application. For example, there is a case where a conventional diaper or the like wants to have a function of informing urination. At that time, for example, a conventional disposable diaper is combined with the conductor foils 9a and 9b and the conductor foil protective tape 4 used in the present invention, and connected to the signal line at the tip of the conductor foils 9a and 9b. Thus, it can be configured by providing a device for transmitting to the outside.
