Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an excrement device, in particular to an excrement device with a urine sugar detection function. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the situation of diabetes has become serious. The public needs a non-invasive blood sugar testing method to measure the blood sugar concentration for diabetic patients at home in real time to alleviate the pain of invasive blood sugar testing for diabetic patients.
[0003] Generally speaking, when the blood sugar concentration exceeds 180 mg / dl (mg / dl), sugar will appear in a person's urine, which means that a person's kidneys cannot absorb all the sugar in the body and excrete the excessively high concentration of sugar in the urine. This kind of sugar excreted in the urine is called urine sugar.
[0004] Currently, the enzyme method is the main method to replace blood sugar testing with urine sugar testing, and the test strip test of glucose oxidase method is the most common. However, the test strip test takes 30 to 60 seconds, so it is not enough to meet the immediacy of instant testing.
[0005] What is more serious is that the test results of the test strips are based on the human eye's interpretation of color to determine the concentration of urine sugar. That is, different people's eyes will interpret the results differently due to color differences, making the results inaccurate. In addition, the test results of the test strips are displayed in a semi-quantitative manner, that is, the test results of the test strips confirm the range of urine sugar concentration and cannot accurately confirm the urine sugar concentration value.
[0006] The test strips used for urine sugar testing also have problems in storage. Different storage environments will cause the test strips to have different quality in determining urine sugar, which makes the reliability of the test strips questionable. In addition, when using the test strips to test urine sugar, collecting urine in a cup is not a convenient and easy task for the general public. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides an excrement device with a urine sugar detection function, which can collect urine without using a cup and can stably and instantly measure the urine sugar concentration by an optical method.
[0008] The excrement device with urine sugar detection function of the present invention comprises:
[0009] A device body having an excrement carrying groove and a urine containing groove; wherein the urine containing groove is formed on an inner side wall of the excrement carrying groove;
[0010] A measuring module is disposed at a bottom of the urine containing groove and has an internal space, and the measuring module includes:
[0011] A light-transmitting mirror is disposed in the internal space and has a measuring surface and a bottom surface; wherein the measuring surface of the light-transmitting mirror is closely attached to the bottom of the urine containing groove;
[0012] A track is disposed in the inner space and faces the bottom surface of the light-transmitting mirror;
[0013] a light emitting unit, movably disposed on the track, and emitting a detection light beam toward the bottom surface of the light-transmitting mirror;
[0014] a sensor, disposed in the internal space and facing the bottom surface of the light-transmitting mirror, receiving the detection light beam reflected by the bottom surface;
[0015] a processor, disposed in the internal space and electrically connected to the light emitting unit and the sensor;
[0016] a driving module, disposed in the internal space and connected to the light emitting unit and electrically connected to the processor; wherein the processor controls the driving module to drive the light emitting unit to move along the track;
[0017] When the processor receives a start signal, the processor controls the light emitting unit to emit the detection light beam to the bottom surface of the light-transmitting mirror, and the detection light beam is further emitted from the light-transmitting mirror through the bottom surface after being reflected by the measuring surface of the light-transmitting mirror, and the detection light beam reflected by the bottom surface is received by the sensor, and the sensor generates a light beam intensity signal according to the received reflected detection light beam;
[0018] The processor further controls the driving module to drive the light emitting unit to move on the track, and determines whether the light beam intensity signal generated by the sensor is less than a threshold value. When the processor determines that the light beam intensity signal is less than the threshold value, the processor confirms a position of the light emitting unit on the track, and generates urine glucose concentration data according to the position.
[0019] The excrement device with urine sugar detection function of the present invention detects urine sugar concentration through the detection light beam, can quickly complete the urine sugar detection and generate the urine sugar concentration data, and is more immediate than the existing method of detecting urine sugar concentration with test paper.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention is an excrement device 1 with a urine sugar detection function, and the excrement device 1 with a urine sugar detection function comprises a device body 2, and the device body 2 has an excrement carrying groove 5 and a urine receiving groove 4. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the excrement device 1 with urine sugar detection function of the present invention, the device body 2 is a toilet, and when the device body 2 is flushed, the urine receiving groove 4 and the inner wall 3 can be washed.
[0033] Please also read Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the urine receiving groove 4 is formed on an inner side wall 3 of the device body 2 for collecting urine 9. A measuring module 6 is disposed at a bottom 7 of the urine receiving groove 4, and the measuring module 6 has an internal space 8. In the internal space 8, the measuring module 6 includes a light-transmitting mirror 10, a track 20, a light-emitting unit 30, a sensor 40, a processor 50 and a driving module 60. In this embodiment, the driving module 60 is a stepping motor.
[0034] The light-transmitting mirror 10 is disposed in the internal space 8 and has a measuring surface 11 and a bottom surface 12 , wherein the measuring surface 11 is tightly attached to the bottom 7 of the urine containing groove 4 , and the measuring surface 11 is tightly fitted with the inner wall 3 , so that the urine 9 cannot penetrate into the internal space 8 .
[0035] The track 20 is disposed in the inner space 8, surrounding and facing the bottom surface 12 of the light-transmitting mirror 10. The light-emitting unit 30 is disposed on the track 20 in the inner space 8, and movably emits a detection light beam toward the bottom surface 12 of the light-transmitting mirror 10 along the track 20. The sensor 40 faces the bottom surface 12 of the light-transmitting mirror 10 and is disposed in the inner space 8, and receives the detection light beam reflected by the bottom surface 12.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surface 12 of the light-transmitting mirror 10 is an arc-shaped surface, and the arc-shaped surface faces the light-emitting unit 30 and the sensor 40. The track 20 in the preferred embodiment has the same curvature as the bottom surface 12, so the detection light beam moving along the track 20 can maintain vertical incidence on the arc-shaped surface.
[0037] When the detection light beam enters the light-transmitting mirror 10, it will not be deflected at an angle because it is incident vertically on the bottom surface 12. This is the result of the refraction law (Snell's Law), which will be discussed in the latter part of the specification. After the detection light beam enters the light-transmitting mirror 10 vertically, refraction and reflection will occur at the place where the medium changes, that is, at the junction of the measuring surface 11 tightly attached to the bottom 7 of the urine containing groove 4 and the urine 9. The refracted part of the detection light beam will be generated because the urine 9 is a different medium from the light-transmitting mirror 10, and the reflected part will be generated because the vector perpendicular to the measuring surface 11 changes direction. Taking a normal line perpendicular to the measuring surface 11 as a reference, the detection light beam will generate an incident angle θ when it is incident. i , a reflection angle θ will be generated during reflection r , and when refracted, a refraction angle θ is generated t The incident angle θ i , the reflection angle θ r and the refraction angle θ tThe relationship between the three and how much of the detection beam will be refracted and how much of the detection beam will be reflected will be discussed in detail in the latter part of the specification.
[0038] The processor 50 is disposed in the inner space 8 and electrically connected to the light emitting unit 30 and the sensor 40. The driving module 60 is disposed in the inner space 8, connected to the light emitting unit 30 and electrically connected to the processor 50, so that the processor 50 controls the driving module 60 to drive the light emitting unit 30 to move along the track 20.
[0039] In detail, when the processor 50 receives a start signal, the processor 50 controls the light emitting unit 30 to emit the detection light beam, so that the detection light beam is directed to the bottom surface 12 to enter the light-transmitting mirror 10. The processor 50 determines the amount of movement of the light emitting unit 30 by the driving module 60 based on a position of the light emitting unit 30 on the track 20, and then infers the angle at which the detection light beam of the light emitting unit 30 is incident on the measuring surface 11. Then, the processor 50 generates urine sugar concentration data in real time within 3 seconds based on the angle at which the detection light beam is incident on the measuring surface 11 and a light beam intensity signal measured by the sensor 40. The reason why the present invention can analyze the urine sugar concentration data in real time is that the optical method can obtain the physical information of the urine 9 from the light beam intensity signal at the moment when the detection light beam irradiates the urine 9 to analyze the urine sugar concentration data.
[0040] See also Figure 5 As shown, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the processor 50 is electrically connected in the internal space 8 to an output unit 100, an input unit 200 and a power unit 300 which are respectively disposed on the device body 2.
[0041] For the urine sugar concentration data, the processor 50 further determines whether the urine sugar concentration data is greater than a warning value, and when the processor 50 determines that the urine sugar concentration data is greater than the warning value, the processor 50 generates a warning message to warn the user to pay attention to the blood sugar concentration in the body, and outputs the warning message on the output unit 100. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the output unit 100 can be a display to display the warning message or a buzzer to emit a sound to convey the warning message.
[0042] The input unit 200 is responsible for generating the start signal, and when the input unit 200 generates the start signal, the processor 50 receives the start signal and starts to operate. In addition, the power unit 300 is responsible for generating power to provide the processor 50.
[0043] Before introducing how the excrement device 1 with urine sugar detection function obtains urine sugar concentration data, the technical background of the present invention is first introduced, that is, how a beam of light travels between two different media.
[0044] See also Figure 6 As shown, assuming that the surface of the medium 1 and the medium 2 in contact is a plane, according to the law of refraction (Snell's Law), when light enters another medium from one medium, the incident angle θ of an incident light i With the refraction angle θ t The relationship between a first refractive index n1 of a medium 1 and a second refractive index n2 of a medium 2 is as follows:
[0045] n1×sin(θ i )=n2×sin(θ t )
[0046] Among them, when n1>n2 and when the incident angle θ i is a critical angle θ cri hour:
[0047]
[0048]
[0049] The refraction angle θ t must be 90 degrees to give sin(θ t )=1, so when the incident light is at this critical angle θ cri When the light is reflected, the angle of refraction of the light will be 90 degrees between the surfaces of the medium 1 and the medium 2. i and the reflection angle θ r In general, they must be equal, and when the incident light is at the critical angle θ cri It is a special case.
[0050] Furthermore, the refraction and reflection of the detection beam can be discussed based on the Fresnel equations. According to the Fresnel equations, the reflectance R and the transmittance T are percentages that can represent the refraction and reflection of the detection beam, and the reflectance R plus the transmittance T is equal to 1. The polarization state of the incident light can be divided into S polarization and P polarization, where the polarization state perpendicular to the plane is the S polarization state, and the polarization state parallel to the plane is the P polarization state. The incident light is composed of a random proportion of S polarization and P polarization in the unpolarized state, and according to the Fresnel equations, the reflectance R and transmittance T of the S polarization and P polarization can be written in detail as:
[0051]
[0052]
[0053] T S =1-R S
[0054] T P =1-R P
[0055] When θ t =π / 2, cos(θ t =π / 2)=0, so the Fresnel equation can be simplified to:
[0056]
[0057]
[0058] T S =1-R S =1-1=0
[0059] T P =1-R P =1-1=0
[0060] Therefore, no matter what polarization state the incident light is in, and no matter how much the incident light is composed of S polarization light and P polarization light, the results obtained by S polarization light and P polarization light are the same, that is, in θ i =θ cri and θ t =π / 2, not only will the incident light travel along the plane between the medium 1 and the medium 2, but it will also be considered as total internal reflection mathematically, because R S and R P Both are 1.
[0061] When θ i <θ cri When the incident light continues to be totally internally reflected, all the light will be reflected, R S and R P Maintain 1, T S and T P Maintain 0, and the reflection angle θ r As in the normal case, it will be equal to the incident angle θ i .
[0062] When θ i =θ criWhen the incident light travels along the plane between the medium 1 and the medium 2, the reflected light will not be reflected by the reflection angle θ. r This is because when θ t =π / 2, the incident angle θ i Mathematically, it can also be regarded as θ i =π / 2, that is, a light parallel to the plane, so that cos(θ i =π / 2)=0, and so we get the same R S and R P result:
[0063]
[0064]
[0065] To put it another way, because the light does not strictly cross the plane along the path between the medium 1 and the medium 2, there is no reflection phenomenon as in general reflection, so θ i =θ cri ≠θ r , for special cases.
[0066] In the present invention, Figure 6 The plane in question is the measuring plane 11, the incident light is the detection light beam, the first refractive index n1 corresponds to the refractive index of the light-transmitting mirror 10, and the second refractive index n2 corresponds to the refractive index of the urine 9. The refractive index of the light-transmitting mirror 10 is a known value, and the refractive index of the urine 9 is a value to be measured.
[0067] See also Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, based on the above, it can be seen that when the sensor 40 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention senses the detection light beam, the following situations will be observed:
[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, when the incident angle θ i >The critical angle θ cri When , a small portion of the detection light beam will be reflected into the sensor 40;
[0069] like Figure 7 As shown, when the incident angle θ i = the critical angle θ cri When the entire detection beam passes between the planes due to total internal reflection, and since the sensor 40 is not between the planes, most of the detection beam cannot be reflected into the sensor 40, so the beam intensity signal measured by the sensor 40 will be weakened;
[0070] like Figure 8 As shown, when the incident angle θ i <The critical angle θ cri When , the entire detection light beam will be reflected into the sensor 40 due to total internal reflection, so the light beam intensity signal measured by the sensor 40 will be enhanced.
[0071] It can be seen that when the incident angle θ i is equal to the critical angle θ cri When the light beam intensity signal sensed by the sensor 40 is smaller than that at other incident angles θ i Conversely, when the sensor 40 follows the incident angle θ i When the beam intensity signal is sensed to be a minimum value due to the change in the beam intensity signal, the angle at which the minimum value appears is the corresponding critical angle θ cri According to the law of refraction, the critical angle θ cri Right now:
[0072] n1×sin(θ cri )=n2×1
[0073]
[0074]
[0075] The present invention can be realized by using the incident angle θ i The change in the intensity signal of the light beam measured by the sensor 40 corresponds to the change in the intensity signal of the light beam, and the corresponding critical angle θ is found from the intensity signal of the light beam sensed by the sensor 40. cri , and from the critical angle θ cri The refractive index of the urine 9 is calculated, and then a urine sugar concentration corresponding to the urine 9 is found from the refractive index of the urine 9, so that the processor 50 finally generates the urine sugar concentration data.
[0076] The present invention is provided with an adjustable threshold value, that is, when the processor 50 determines that the beam intensity signal is less than the threshold value, the processor 50 determines the position of the light emitting unit 30 moving on the track 20 and the angle of the detection beam incident on the measuring surface 11, which is the position where the total internal reflection of the detection beam occurs, and determines the current incident angle θ i The critical angle θ cri .
[0077] In addition, when the processor 50 determines that the beam intensity signal is less than the threshold, the processor 50 further determines whether the beam intensity signal is a relatively low value. That is, after the processor 50 determines that the beam intensity signal is less than the threshold, the processor 50 continues to control the sensor 40 to continue measuring and the processor 50 continues to control the light-emitting unit 30 on the track 20 to continue moving until the beam intensity signal measured by the sensor 40 changes from weakening to strengthening. When the beam intensity signal changes from weakening to strengthening, the beam intensity signal will have the relatively low value, and the relatively low value can more accurately enable the processor 50 to determine that the critical angle θ appears when the light-emitting unit 30 moves on the track 20. cri The beam intensity signal changes from weakening to strengthening because the beam intensity signal weakens when the detection beam just undergoes total internal reflection, and the beam intensity signal increases when the detection beam exceeds the critical angle θ. cri After and continuously total internal reflection, please refer to the above comprehensive Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 Explanation given.
[0078] When the processor 50 determines that the beam intensity signal is the relatively low value, the processor 50 ends the measurement work of the light emitting unit 30 and the sensor 40, because the processor 50 has enough information to calculate the critical angle θ cri After determining that the beam intensity signal is less than the threshold and after determining that the beam intensity signal is the relatively low value, the processor 50 can determine the critical angle θ cri The processor 50 further calculates the urine sugar concentration.
[0079] See also Fig. 9 As shown in the graph of the experimental data, it can be seen that the glucose content added to the urine 9 is linearly related to the degree of movement of the light-emitting unit. In other words, the urine sugar concentration is linearly related to the degree of movement of the light-emitting unit 30. The degree of movement of the light-emitting unit 30 and the incident angle θ i There is a linear relationship between the change in the value of and the amount of movement of the driving module 60. Therefore, this figure can also illustrate that the urine sugar concentration and the incident angle θ i Because of this linear relationship, the excrement device 1 with urine sugar detection function of the present invention can measure the urine sugar concentration by optical means, that is, by the incident angle θ i The corresponding critical angle θ is found by the beam intensity signal of the sensor 40. cri , and from the critical angle θ criThe refractive index of the urine 9 is calculated, and then the refractive index of the urine 9 is linearly matched to the urine sugar concentration, and finally the processor 50 generates the urine sugar concentration data. In this embodiment, the unit of the degree (au) of movement of the light emitting unit 30 is, for example, millimeter (mm), radian (rad), angle (°), but not limited thereto. In addition, the degree of movement of the light emitting unit 30 and the incident angle θ i The change in the amount still maintains a linear relationship.
[0080] Fig. 9 It can be seen that the position of the urine sugar concentration of 180 mg / dl corresponds to the position of the light-emitting unit moving degree 5 to 5.25 au, and when the blood sugar concentration exceeds 180 mg / dl, sugar will appear in a person's urine, so the application scope of the present invention reaches the designed urine sugar detection range, and the urine sugar concentration of the urine 9 can be detected as soon as sugar appears in a person's urine. In addition, the present invention can distinguish the difference between the urine sugar concentration of 50 mg / dl and the urine sugar concentration of 100 mg / dl, and is more accurate in urine sugar measurement than the commonly known urine sugar test paper.
[0081] When the urine receiving groove 4 of the present invention is washed, the water content remaining in the urine receiving groove 4 is an average quantity, and the processor 50 can take into account and calculate the average quantity of the residual water when calculating the urine sugar concentration to calibrate the result of measuring the urine sugar concentration, so that the measurement of the urine sugar concentration will not be affected by the reset of the detection environment.
[0082] See also Fig.10 As shown in another embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surface 12A of the light-transmitting mirror 10A includes a light-incident surface 121A and a light-emitting surface 122A, wherein the light-incident surface 121A and the light-emitting surface 122A are each a plane, and the light-incident surface 121A faces the light-emitting unit 30, while the light-emitting surface 122A faces the sensor 40. As the track 20 moves, the light-emitting unit 30 can still change the incident angle θ of the detection beam. i When the light beam enters the light incident surface 121A and is reflected from the light emitting surface 122A, the angle change of the detection light beam can be included in the calculation by the processor 50, so that the sensor 40 finally generates the urine sugar concentration data.
[0083] See also Fig.11As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the device body 2 is a urinal. The urinal also includes an excrement carrying groove 5A and a urine receiving groove 4A formed on an inner side wall 3A of the urinal. The measurement module 6 is also arranged in the urine receiving groove 4A of the inner side wall 3A of the urinal to collect the urine 9 in the urine receiving groove 4A for measuring the urine sugar concentration.
[0084] See also Fig.12 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the device body 2 is a squat toilet. The squat toilet includes an excrement bearing groove 5B and a urine receiving groove 4B formed on an inner platform 3B of the squat toilet. The measurement module 6 is arranged in the urine receiving groove 4B of the inner platform 3B of the squat toilet, and the amount of water remaining in the urine receiving groove 4B after flushing the urine receiving groove 4B and the amount of water remaining on the inner platform 3B after each flushing are another average quantitative. The processor 50 of the measurement module 6 can consider and calculate the other average quantitative of residual water when calculating the urine sugar concentration to calibrate the result of measuring the urine sugar concentration.
[0085] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the volume of the urine receiving groove is not less than 0.5 ml, so as to produce a thick enough urine 9 to block the external light-emitting unit outside the urine receiving groove 4 from interfering with the measurement result, and to produce a sufficient urine sample volume to enhance the accuracy of the measurement result of the urine sugar concentration.
[0086] In another embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting unit 30 may be a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or a laser diode (LD) to generate the detection beam with directionality. The sensor 40 may be a plurality of photodiodes, a spectrometer, a charge-coupled device sensor (CCD sensor) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor sensor (CMOS sensor). The most suitable sensor 40 may be selected according to the wavelength of the light-emitting unit 30.
