Smart toilet hybrid system for alimentary tract reconstruction and management and method operating the same

Abstract

A smart toilet system and method for intestinal reconstruction management includes a toilet device and a collection and feedback device. The main components are an enema / defecation aid function that integrates a human body washing device within the toilet device, featuring a non-invasive, vortex-flow spiral water column to moisten and soften the anus and intestines, breaking down hard stools to alleviate defecation difficulties. This, combined with the fecal collection, analysis, and detection module and database of the collection and feedback device, forms a composite system capable of automatic defecation assistance, intestinal cleansing, and closed-loop collection, real-time analysis, detection, and health data feedback to the user for reuse and health improvement. This achieves intestinal cleansing and defecation aid effects, realizing a closed-loop composite function from relieving defecation difficulties to health management. Furthermore, the database can be constructed into a fecal microbiota regeneration database, enhancing resource recycling and the economic benefits of regeneration into a closed-loop health management solution.

Claims

1. A smart toilet system for intestinal reconstruction management, comprising: A toilet device comprising: a body having an internal accommodating space and a discharge outlet; the discharge outlet being connected to at least two pipelines, one of which is connected to a general sewage pipe; a human body washing device disposed on one side of the accommodating space and equipped with a nozzle having a washing nozzle; the nozzle having a water guiding pipe inside, the water guiding pipe having a spiral guide surface corresponding to the washing nozzle; and a collection and feedback device comprising: a feces collection module connected to another pipeline at the discharge outlet for collecting excrement; an analysis module and a detection module respectively connected to and receiving feces introduced by the feces collection module, performing at least one analysis and at least one detection on the feces; a short-distance sample delivery pipeline is provided between the analysis module and the feces collection module to reduce the exposure time of the feces sample. A database contains multiple personal folders corresponding to different users, used to store the analysis and detection data of the corresponding users obtained by the analysis module and the detection module; and a control module, electrically connected to the human body washing device, feces collection module, analysis module, detection module and database for mutual opening and closing and cooperation; wherein, the washing nozzle, in conjunction with the spiral guide surface, sprays out a spiral water column with an outer ring water flow of approximately 1:4 to 1:8 and an outlet angle of approximately 15 to 30 degrees, which is non-dispersive and high-density, forming a converging spiral water column that can be introduced into the rectum along the anus; the control module determines the defecation status based on the temperature change of the water seal in the accommodating space detected by a sensor installed in the toilet device, wherein, when the temperature change is determined to be small and defecation is difficult, the control module controls the human body to defecate. The body flushing device switches the flushing nozzle to the air vortex spiral water column mode, forming an air vortex to flush and massage the area around the anus, inducing nerve reflexes to stimulate the nerves in and around the anus, causing the anus to relax and open naturally. The air vortex spiral water column is then gently introduced into the rectum for about 5-10 cm, which helps to relieve rectal muscles, induces rectal peristalsis and releases intestinal gas, moistens and softens, and breaks down hard stool impurities in the intestines, inducing defecation. After that, the stool is collected in a closed manner by the stool collection module and introduced into the analysis module and detection module for detection and analysis through the short-distance sample delivery pipeline.

2. The composite system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the nozzle of the human body washing device is a retractable structure for adjustablely corresponding to the user's buttocks.

3. The composite system as described in claim 2, wherein the retractable nozzle is adjustable in position in both vertical and horizontal directions to accommodate the hip position of different users.

4. The composite system as described in claim 1, wherein the air vortex spiral water column mode has a multi-stage rinsing procedure, including an initial wetting stage, a main air vortex rinsing stage and a final cleaning stage.

5. The composite system as described in claim 1, wherein the connection between the outlet and the fecal collection module is a detachable sealed structure to facilitate subsequent maintenance and cleaning.

6. The composite system as described in claim 1, wherein the control module receives data from the analysis module and the detection module to provide feedback to the user for medical purposes such as gut microbiota self-adjustment or fecal transplantation.

7. A combined method for a smart toilet with intestinal reconstruction management, the method comprising: using a control module to detect the water seal temperature inside the toilet seat and obtain the temperature change amount based on a sensor installed in the toilet device, to determine the user's defecation status; switching modes according to the defecation status; when the control module determines that the temperature change amount is large and indicates a normal defecation status, the control module drives the human body washing device to switch to the buttock washing mode; when the control module determines that the temperature change amount is small and indicates a difficult defecation status, the control module drives the human body washing device to switch to the defecation-assisting air vortex spiral water column mode. Based on the difficulty in defecation, the control module drives the human body flushing device to switch and activate the flushing nozzle to execute the defecation-assisting air vortex spiral water column mode. The flushing nozzle sprays out an air vortex spiral water column with an air-water mixing ratio of approximately 1:4 to 1:8 and a water outlet angle of approximately 15 to 30 degrees. The air flow is surrounded by an outer ring of water flow that does not disperse and has a high density. This forms an air vortex flushing and massaging the anus, inducing nerve reflexes and stimulating the anus and surrounding nerves, causing the anus to relax and open naturally. The air vortex spiral water column is then non-invasively introduced into the rectum for about 5-10 cm to assist defecation. After the air vortex spiral water column induces rectal peristalsis and releases intestinal gas, it moistens, softens, and breaks down hard stool impurities in the intestines. After defecation is induced, the fecal collection module collects the excrement guided from the outlet in a closed manner and introduces it for detection and analysis through a short-distance sample delivery pipeline. The system uses analysis and detection modules to perform at least one component or microbial analysis and at least one physical indicator test on the collected feces; the analysis and detection results are stored in the database in the user's corresponding personal folder; and based on the stored results, health management suggestions are provided to the user.

8. The method described in claim 7 includes the steps of "cleaning, disconnecting, adjusting, supplementing, repairing, restoring, returning, and maintaining"; wherein, The toilet device uses the first-stage "cleaning" technology, while the collection and feedback device uses the seventh and eighth-stage "return and maintenance" technology.
