[0041] The present invention relates to a urinary system (A) composed of mechanical and electronic components, which is used to drain the contents of the large intestine, small intestine and bladder through a stoma after colostomy, ileostomy and urethrostomy, and to make involuntary drainage occurring in the stoma autonomous.

[0042] The bottom adapter (1) is an elastic polymer structure that adheres to the skin, allowing it to be isolated from the stoma in the excretory area of ​​the user's abdominal wall.

[0043] The polygonal semi-elastic orifice structure (2) is a structure for preventing rotation and leakage after the system is fastened to the bottom adapter (1), which has a semi-elastic in polygonal form and is integrated with the rubber surface of the bottom adapter (1).

[0044] The fastening channel (3) allows the inner body (4) to be fastened to the bottom adapter (1) by sliding and also allows the position of its fastening to be determined.

[0045] The inner body (4) is a cylindrical structure due to the protrusion on it, which allows the user to combine and separate the independent system with the bottom adapter (1) by means of screwing sliding through the channel located on the orifice part of the bottom adapter (1), thus working with the bottom adapter (1) while serving as the body of other product components.

[0046] The sensor bearing (5) is a circular recess formed on the inner body (4), which ensures that the pressure sensor (14) located on the inner body (4) remains stationary.

[0047] The inner orifice fastening structure (6) is located on the inner circumference of the inner body (4) and enables the inner orifice of the elastic barrel (13) to be fastened to the inner body (4).

[0048] The side housing (7) is a component that is combined from the outside by telescoping with the inner body (4) and forms the gap and space required for the inner components of the product together with the inner body (4).

[0049] The polygonal gasket orifice structure (8) is a structure that embeds the polygonal semi-elastic orifice structure (2) on the bottom adapter (1) of the system and fastens it with the clamp (9) to prevent its uncontrolled rotation.

[0050] After embedding the polygonal semi-elastic orifice structure (2) on the bottom adapter (1) of the system, the clamp (9) is used to clamp the two polygonal structures and provide sealing.

[0051] The axial rotation piece (10) is a component that is fastened by aligning its rotation axis with the inner body (4) and side housing (7) components, which can freely rotate in only one axis in two opposite directions, whose orifice is fastened to the inner wall of the inner body (4) by the user when one of the orifices of the elastic barrel (13) is fixed, which plays a key role in rotating the other orifice, thus opening and closing the system by creating a bend.

[0052] The outer orifice fastening structure (11) is a structure located on the axial rotation piece (10), to which the outer orifice of the elastic barrel (13) can be fastened.

[0053] The closed position and emergency discharge protrusion (12) is a spring-loaded protrusion located in the side housing (7); when the system is in the closed position, and in the event of an emergency discharge, it is mechanically released by the emergency motor (20), and due to the elastic resistance of the elastic cylinder (13) in the opposite direction, it allows the system to open suddenly.

[0054] The elastic cylinder (13) is an elastic component with stable linear flexibility, which does not have solid, liquid and gas permeability, and has a thickened structure (13.1) in both of its orifices; one of the orifices can be fastened to the inner body (4), and the other orifice can be fastened to the axial rotating piece (10).

[0055] The pressure sensor (14) is a plurality of identical receivers located in the upper part of the inner body (4), and measures the pressure generated by the elastic cylinder (13) on itself.

[0056] The pressure ring (15) is a hollow circular structure made of semi-elastic polymer, and has a protrusion; the protrusion is positioned such that each pressure sensor (14) is located on top of it. The pressure sensor (14) and the elastic cylinder (13) play an important role in measuring the required force range by adjusting the force relationship between them.

[0057] The inner cushion piece (16) is a component that provides a basic cushion for the rotation of the axial rotating piece (10). It is mounted to the side housing (7) from the bottom by means of a sufficient number of connection elements (24).

[0058] The upper cover (17) is a component that closes the closed elastic cylinder (13) in the closed position for both safety and visual purposes, in the case of products that are not opened and closed manually by the user.

[0059] The inner orifice seal (18) is a component that provides sealing by being squeezed between the inner body (4) and the bottom adapter (1) when they are connected.

[0060] The vibration motor (19) is a motor that allows the product to give a defecation warning to the user by direct vibration.

[0061] The emergency motor (20) is a motor that allows the axial rotating piece (10) to rotate slightly in the opposite direction by turning a quarter of a turn in the specified direction, in the event of an emergency discharge in the intestines, if the user cannot provide it manually, in this way, the system opens suddenly due to the elastic resistance of the elastic cylinder (13) in the opposite direction.

[0062] The circuit board (21) used in the system according to the invention is a circuit element that regulates the relationship between the sensors, motors and the type of warning to be given to the user in various ways.

[0063] External battery (22) is an external rechargeable battery which provides the necessary energy to all elements in the system which operate by electrical energy.

[0064] Covered battery bearing (23) is a component which can protect and fasten the external battery (22).

[0065] The working principle of the present invention provides integration of the urinary system (A) into the body after the bottom adapter (1) adheres to the surface of the abdominal cavity so that it isolates the stoma. The system, which is now ready to be mounted on the bottom adapter (1) by mounting the inner body (4), the lateral shell (7), the axial rotating piece (10) and the inner cushion piece (16) to each other and containing the structure which includes all other components, here the clamp (9) by allowing the external cushion to make it will support the cushion on its own to minimize the "directional defects that can occur on the axis of rotation", the cushion can be manufactured unidirectionally on the inner body (4) of the axial rotating piece (10). Following the forced linear path in the bottom adapter fastening channel (3) and after the system is fastened to the bottom adapter (1) in the desired position, the protrusion attached to the lateral shell (7) of the bottom adapter (1) turns 45 degrees. At this stage, by inserting the polygonal cushion orifice structure (8) into the polygonal semi-elastic orifice structure (2) on the bottom adapter (1), the system is prevented from rotating in the opposite direction and the fastening process is completed.

[0066] After the fastening process is completed, the internal orifice of the elastic cylinder tube (13) is fastened to the internal orifice fastening structure (6) located in the inner body (4). Then, the external orifice of the elastic cylinder tube (13) is fastened to the external orifice fastening structure (11) located on the axial rotating piece (10). Now, the product is ready for use. The product works mainly by performing the free rotation of the axial rotating piece (10) in two opposite directions on only one axis, so that one orifice of the elastic cylinder tube (13) fastened to the inner wall of the inner body (4) by the user is fixed and the other orifice can rotate, thus enabling the system to open and close by creating a bend.

[0067] Another important factor for making the evacuation autonomous is the result of the system operation. The sensor bearing (5) on the inner body (4) is used to place 4 pressure sensors (14). The pressure ring (15) with the elastic polymer structure is again installed on these pressure sensors (14) during the production phase, which is placed during the factory assembly of the system according to the invention. At the stage where the elastic cylinder (13) provides full closure by bending, the maximum force is applied on the pressure ring (15). The pressure ring (15) also transmits this force to the pressure sensors (14). The circuit board (21) reads and interprets the force information coming from the pressure sensors (14). The evacuation force applied from the intestine outward, such as defecation, will push the barrier formed by the bending of the elastic cylinder (13) outward, and the force on the pressure sensors (14) will decrease in direct proportion to the force applied from inside to outside. The circuit board (21) will interpret these changes in force according to the defined software instructions and send a warning to the user on various digital platforms (mainly vibration of the system). The vibration motor (19) will produce the vibration of the system. As a result of the warning coming, the user can use a suitable place (such as a toilet, bathroom, etc.), by opening the upper cover (17), rotating the axial rotator (10) in the specified direction and releasing it, to actively perform the evacuation. In this way, the evacuation channel will be opened and the evacuation will occur.

[0068] After the evacuation is completed, the user will close the axial rotator by rotating it in the opposite direction and clean the outside of the barrier formed by the bending of the elastic cylinder (13) using one of the post-defecation cleaning methods used by people in their daily lives. The whole process will be completed by the user closing the upper cover (17) again.

[0069] However, the user can not be able to perform the evacuation process under all warnings due to various negative external factors such as fainting, panic attacks, forced sleep. In this case, the health of the user who cannot evacuate is damaged. In this scenario, the range of values defined on the circuit board (21) is interpreted and the emergency motor (20) is activated. If the emergency motor (20) receives the necessary instructions, it pushes back the closing position and the emergency discharge protrusion (12) located in the side housing (7) by turning a quarter turn. The system is released, the elastic structure is bent automatically by using the elastic force caused by bending in the opposite direction, and it moves from the closed position to the flat and open position. In this way, the bending barrier opens and the evacuation occurs autonomously. The electronic part of the system consists of a number of pressure sensors (14), a vibration motor (19), an emergency motor (20) and a circuit board (21), the energy required by which is provided by an external battery (22) or a battery installed in the covered battery bearing (23).
