DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, the method for using the medical intelligent toilet comprises a base 1, a weighing device 14 for measuring body weight is installed on the front end of the upper surface of the base 1, a toilet body 2 is installed on the rear end of the upper surface of the base 1, the toilet body 2 comprises a fixed seat 21, an inner surface of the fixed seat 21 is provided with a drain channel 22 curved in an S shape, a front part of the inner wall of the rear end of the drain channel 22 is fitted on the inner wall of the pipe and is equipped with a spiral leaf 211, and the right end of the spiral leaf 211 penetrates the fixed seat 21 and is equipped with a tachometer 213 for obtaining a flow rate by measuring the rotation speed;

[0023] The present invention provides a weighing device 14 for measuring body weight, a spiral blade 211 for detecting the amount of drainage, and a speed meter 213. When in use, the user first steps on the upper surface of the weighing device 14, and the control system records the body weight. Then the user sits on the toilet to defecate. During the defecation process, urine and feces fall into the interior of the drain 22 containing clean water. The clean water inside the drain 22 is affected by the urine and feces and the connecting pipe, and the same volume of water is discharged. The water flows along the front end of the inner wall of the drain 22 to push the spiral blade 211 to rotate. The speed meter 213 obtains the volume of the water flow by recording the rotation speed. After the user finishes defecation and stands up, the weighing device 14 records the user's weight again, and the defecation or urine volume is obtained by the difference in the two weights, thereby achieving the purpose of recording the user's defecation volume, effectively solving the problem that the existing toilet with the function of measuring the amount of defecation needs to use consumables for measurement, which brings about high cost and inconvenient replacement of consumables.

[0024] See also Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the base 1 includes a fixing plate 11, a fixing hole 12 is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the fixing plate 11, and a pipe 210 is installed on the inner surface of the fixing hole 12. The installation function of the base 1 facilitates the installation and use of the present invention as a whole. In the present invention, the speed meter 213 and the weighing meter 14 are connected to an intelligent recording system with a touch screen through wires. During use, the obtained value is transmitted to the recording system through an electrical signal, and then uploaded to the medical system through the software program inside the recording system using a single-chip microcomputer, a storage device, a communication module and other devices (which can be modified using a tablet computer), thereby realizing the recording function. Based on the reading and writing functions of the computer and the wireless control system in the prior art, in conjunction with the artificial intelligence recognition camera, a patient information recording system is formed. The patient information is recognized by the background computer system using the recognition camera to recognize the QR code of the patient's wristband, and the information is entered in real time during the detection, thereby realizing the recording function of the detection result.

[0025] See also Figure 2 As shown, a fixing opening 13 is provided at the front end of the upper surface of the fixing plate 11, and the inner surface of the fixing opening 13 is assembled on the outer surface of the weighing device 14;

[0026] During the detection, through the controller installed near the toilet and the internal software program, there are two detection methods. The first one is that when the user takes off his pants, the weighing device 14 measures and records the weight. After the user sits on the toilet body 2, the system records the urine volume by default according to human habits, and records the water flow that is discharged first as urine. Then, according to the interval of the water flow, the recording method is changed to record the defecation volume. Finally, after the user stands up, the weight is recorded again. According to the weight difference and the ratio of the water flow volume recorded twice, calculations are performed to obtain the urine weight volume and the feces weight volume respectively.

[0027] The second is that during the user's defecation process, the system interacts with the user in steps and records. For example, if the user chooses to urinate alone, the weight difference and the volume measured by the speed meter 213 are both urine data. If the user chooses to defecate alone, the weight difference and the volume measured by the speed meter 213 are both feces data. If the user has both needs, the user makes a choice in the system according to his or her own defecation situation, such as clicking to urinate, and the system qualitatively records the measured data as a urine record. When the user chooses to defecate, the system qualitatively records the measured data as a feces record. The above control systems are all based on computers and wireless control systems in the prior art, and the speed meter 213 is a tachometer flow meter. Since the above devices and systems are all prior art, they are not described in detail in the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 3 As shown, a first water storage cavity 24 is provided at the front end of the fixed seat 21, a seat ring 25 is integrally formed at the top end of the fixed seat 21, a second water storage cavity 26 is provided on the inner surface of the seat ring 25, and a drainage groove 27 is provided on the inner surface of the top of the rear end of the fixed seat 21. Through the water storage cavity and the corresponding drainage hole, when the flushing mechanism discharges water, the water flows out through the drainage hole to flush away the excrement.

[0029] See also Figure 3 As shown, the rear end of the fixed seat 21 is equipped with a water tank 28, the interior of the water tank 28 is equipped with a flushing mechanism, and the top of the water tank 28 is sleeved with a water tank cover 215. The flushing mechanism used in the present invention is a flushing mechanism commonly used in toilets in the prior art. Since the mechanism belongs to the prior art, it will not be described in detail in the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 3 As shown, a second connecting hole 214 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 28, a first connecting hole 23 is provided at the inner rear end of the fixing seat 21, a flushing pipe 29 is installed on the inner surfaces of the first connecting hole 23 and the second connecting hole 214, a sleeve hole 212 is provided on the right surface of the fixing seat 21, and the inner surface of the sleeve hole 212 is sleeved on the right outer surface of the spiral blade 211. After the detection is completed, the flushing pipe 29 connected to the high-pressure pump uses high-pressure water flow to flush the spiral blade 211.

[0031] The method of using the present invention is as follows: when in use, the user first steps on the upper surface of the weighing device 14, and the control system records the weight. Then the user sits on the toilet to defecate. During the defecation process, urine and feces fall into the inside of the drain 22 containing clean water. The clean water inside the drain 22 is affected by the urine and feces and the connecting pipe, and the same volume of water is discharged. The water flows along the front end of the inner wall of the drain 22 to push the spiral blade 211 to rotate. The speed meter 213 records the rotation speed and then obtains the water flow volume. After the user finishes defecating, he stands up, and the weighing device 14 records the user's weight again. The defecation or urine volume is obtained by the difference in weight twice, thereby achieving the purpose of recording the user's defecation volume.
