Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a toilet seat, and its purpose is to:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a useful toilet seat device that can detect components contained in urine and feces and automatically communicate health status to itself.

The basic structure for achieving this purpose is to protrude into the bowl of the toilet during use, return to the toilet seat body upon contact with urine or feces, and act as a biosensor for components contained in urine or feces. , and a display device linked to the sensor and displaying the user's health condition based on the contained ingredients.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The toilet seat body A may be a general type with a horse-shaped shape, or
It comes with a private cleaning device a that is popular today.
A biosensor C is installed so that it can appear and appear at will so as to face the bowl part b of the toilet bowl B. Biosensor C refers to enzyme sensors, organelle sensors, tissue sensors, microbial sensors, immunosensors, enzyme thermistors, enzyme immunothermistors, luminescent immunosensors, etc., and the biosensors are those that are contained in excrement (urine, feces). This device detects the components (proteins, sugars, liver juice pigments, etc.) that are present in the body, and the rotary solenoid 1 is rotated by the output of the communication circuit in the sensing device E, and the arm 2 is connected so as to face the ball part b. A strain gauge 3 is provided on the arm 2, and this strain gauge 3 is connected to a communication circuit so that the strain gauge 3 can be connected to the communication circuit when deflection occurs due to contact with urine or feces. The rotary solenoid 1 is rotated to return to the back side of the toilet seat body A.

Further, this biosensor C is electrically linked to a display device D that displays the user's health condition.

The display device D electrically connects the central processing unit CPU and the transmission section and is covered, so that it can be displayed on a part of the toilet seat body A that does not get in the way when sitting, on an easily visible part of the toilet bowl B, or on the side of the toilet seat body A. Deployed on toilet wall 4, etc.

The CPU in the display device D is inputted with the component values contained in the excrement of a healthy body in advance, reads the detection by the biosensor C, determines the health condition, and displays the judgment results by color, sound, and flashing lamps. The communication means such as the above are connected to the printed wiring transmission section. In addition, the printed wiring in the transmission part can be used to transmit information as a healthy body or an unhealthy body, or to convey that a specific component is not at a normal value, that is, if the protein content is higher than that in a healthy body, Various methods can be considered, such as making only the lamp blink.
Note that this display device D may be linked with a recording or storage device that records or stores the health condition of the person who defecates.

The sensing device E is configured to electrically connect a controller to a sensing section that has a built-in light emitting element that emits infrared rays and a light receiving element that receives the reflected light reflected by the person who defecates, and with the cover covered, the toilet seat body A. , placed on toilet bowl B, toilet room wall 4, etc.

In the controller, a delay circuit, a communication circuit to a biosensor C, and a communication circuit to a display device D are printed and wired in electrical contact with an amplifier circuit that outputs an output by a light receiving circuit that receives reflected light.

Next, to briefly explain the electric circuit inside the controller mentioned above, all you have to do is bring the biosensor C into contact with excreted urine or feces, so a delay circuit ( 3-7 to avoid sensing people passing by
A communication circuit that operates the biosensor C and the display device D is electrically linked to the circuit that does not output a second output, and the strain gauge 3 is also linked to the communication circuit.

The operation of the toilet seat device will be explained below. First, when a person sits on the toilet bowl, infrared rays emitted from the light projecting element are reflected by clothes and the like and enter the light receiving element.
When this sitting position continues for a certain period of time, the sensing unit and controller detect the approach of a reflective object and pivot the biosensor C via the communication circuit, which detects the components contained in the excrement. The health condition is displayed and communicated to the user via the display device D.

As described above, the present invention includes a biosensor that protrudes into the toilet bowl during use, returns to the toilet seat body upon contact with urine or feces, and detects components contained in urine or feces, and a biosensor that is linked to the sensor and Since the toilet seat is equipped with a display device that displays the user's health condition based on the contained components, it is possible to provide a toilet seat that can automatically notify the user of the user's health condition based on excreted urine and feces. Moreover, since the biosensor is made to be able to move in and out of the toilet seat body, when the toilet is not in use, the biosensor is hidden behind the seat, out of sight, and does not spoil the appearance.

Thus, the intended purpose can be achieved.
