[0025] To illustrate the technical content, structural features, and effects of the present invention in detail, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0026] The wearable flushing device of the present invention is particularly suitable for adult patients. Figure 1 shows a structural block diagram of one embodiment of the wearable flushing device 100 of the present invention, including a wearable part 110, a bedpan part 120 detachably connected to the wearable part 110, and a control component 130 connected to the bedpan part 120 and a processing host. In operation, the wearable part 110 is first worn on the patient, and then the bedpan part 120 is attached to the wearable part 110. The control component 130 automatically flushes the patient and the bedpan without manual operation. After completion, only the bedpan part 120 needs to be removed without repeatedly putting on and taking off the wearable part 110, making operation more convenient.

[0027] More specifically, as shown in Figures 2-4, the wearable part 110 includes a sliding sleeve 111 connected to the bedpan part 120 and wearable pants 112 connected to the sliding sleeve 111 and worn directly on the body. For ease of disassembly, a locking mechanism is provided between the sliding sleeve 111 and the bedpan part 120, for example, a slot 111b is provided on the bottom side of the sliding sleeve 111 (see Figure 4), into which the bedpan part 120 (e.g., the front end 120b of the bedpan part 120) is engaged. Furthermore, the shape and dimensions of the sliding sleeve 111 are adapted to the bedpan part 120.

[0028] Wearable trousers (112) come into direct contact with the human body; therefore, their material must be soft, comfortable, waterproof, breathable, and antibacterial.

[0029] Composed of common materials such as fabric, sponge, and plastic, these trousers have different structures for different parts of the human body. As shown in Figure 6, which is a frontal view in direct contact with the skin, the trousers 112 have an excretion opening 1121 aligned with a bedpan, a buttock area 1122 located around the excretion opening 1121, a crotch area 1123 connected to the buttock area 1122, a urinary area 1124, and multiple detachable connection points 1125 at the waist. Multiple elastic seams 1126 are formed between the connection points 1125 and the central structure (i.e., 1121-1124) of the trousers 112. The overall outer fabric of the trousers is preferably waterproof, skin-friendly, antibacterial, hypoallergenic, ozone-resistant, and breathable. Elastic bands are provided along the outer edges to allow for adjustment to accommodate patients of different body types. The size of the excretion opening 1121 is adapted to the size of the toilet bowl. The edge of the opening is also made of waterproof material. A mating position (not shown) is formed on the outer back of the opening for connection with the sliding sleeve 111. Optionally, this mating position is made of plastic material. In this embodiment, the wearable pants 112 and the sliding sleeve 111 are fixedly connected through the mating position, for example, by heat pressing.

[0030] As shown in Figure 7, the buttock area 1122 and hip area 1123 have a multi-layered structure, including a bottom layer 11a, a pressure-reducing inner layer 11b formed on the bottom layer 11a, a sponge layer 11c formed on the inner layer 11b and raised upward in the middle, and a waterproof outer layer 11d formed on the sponge layer 11c. The width of the hip area 1123 can be adjusted so that there is no feeling of tightness on the inner thigh after wearing. The urinary tract area 1124 bulges outward (on the back) to form a recessed area, and there is no step difference at the connection between the urinary tract area 1124 and the hip area 1123 to prevent dirt from getting trapped.

[0031] Each connection point 1125 is elastic and has a Velcro structure. The overall size of the connection point 1125 at the abdomen (i.e., the lower part as shown in Figure 6) is smaller than the overall size of the connection point 1125 at the waist (i.e., the upper part as shown in Figure 6). By adjusting the Velcro, the pants 112 can be fixed to the body to prevent them from falling off or shifting.

[0032] Referring to Figure 5, the toilet bowl portion 120 of the present invention includes an upper shell 121 having a toilet bowl body 1211, a bottom shell 123 connected to the upper shell 121, and a rear shell 125. The upper shell 121 and the bottom shell 123 are assembled vertically and locked together with screws, forming a certain receiving space between them to install a gravity sensor 1312 and other parts. The rear shell 125 is installed behind the upper shell 121 and contains devices and pipes for connection to an external processing host. Specifically, a locking mechanism is provided between the toilet bowl body 1211 and the sliding sleeve 111 of the upper shell 121 to facilitate installation and disassembly. For example, the front end 120b of the toilet bowl body 121 is engaged in an annular groove 111b provided on the bottom side of the sliding sleeve 111. In one embodiment, the front ends of the upper shell 121 and the bottom shell 123 of the combined toilet bowl portion 120 are inserted into the annular groove 111b (see Figure 121). Figure 4 Furthermore, the sliding sleeve 111 is provided with a first connecting portion 111a, and the upper shell 121 is provided with a second connecting portion 121a corresponding to the first connecting portion 111a, for example, by means of Velcro or snap fasteners. For example, the first connecting portion 111a is an opening, and the second connecting portion 121a is a snap fastener; or both the first connecting portion 111a and the second connecting portion 121a are Velcro. Through the combination of the above-mentioned locking mechanism and the first and second connecting portions 111a and 121a, the connection between the sliding sleeve 111 and the toilet bowl part 120 is more stable, and disassembly is also very simple.

[0033] The control component 130 of the present invention includes a connection component for connecting to the toilet bowl portion 120 and the processing host, and detection elements for performing certain functions. It may also include a control component (not shown) for controlling the entire component. Preferably, the connection component includes an air path and a water path. The air path is connected to the external processing host for positively pressurizing the toilet bowl body 1211 or negatively suctioning excrement from the toilet bowl body 1211. The water path is connected to the air path for flushing the excretory organs and cleaning the toilet bowl body 1211. Understandably, the air path is divided into an air supply channel 132a and a suction channel 132b (only some connectors or pipes are shown in the figure). Waste is drawn to the external processing host via the suction channel 132b. In this invention, the water path includes a first flushing water path 134a for flushing the urethra, a second flushing water path 134b for flushing the anus, and a third flushing water path 134c for cleaning the toilet bowl body 1211 (only some connectors or pipes are shown in the figure). The first flushing water passage 134a and the second flushing water passage 134b are disposed in the receiving space between the upper shell 121 and the rear shell 125, and the outlet positions are adapted to the human organs by being arranged vertically. The third flushing water passage 134c can be disposed in the receiving space between the upper shell 121 and the bottom shell 123 to optimize the space layout.

[0034] Preferably, the present invention further enhances the intelligence of the product by incorporating a detection element. As shown in FIG5, the detection element includes a camera assembly 1311 installed within the upper shell 121 and protruding from the toilet bowl body 1211 to identify excrement on the toilet bowl body 1211, and controlling different modes of the water and air paths according to the identified different types of excrement. Additionally, the detection element includes a gravity sensor 1312 installed in the receiving space formed between the upper shell 121 and the bottom shell 123 to detect whether the wearer is turning over or rolling over. It should be noted that the installation position of the control components described above is only a preferred embodiment and is not limited thereto.

[0035] In summary, the wearable flushing device 100 of the present invention features a locking mechanism between the wearable part 110 and the bedpan part 120 to achieve a detachable function. During operation, the wearable part 110 is worn on the patient, and the bedpan part 120 is attached to the wearable part 110. The control component 130 automatically flushes both the patient and the bedpan, eliminating the need for manual operation and ensuring greater hygiene. The intelligent automatic flushing further enhances patient comfort. After use, only the bedpan part 120 needs to be removed without repeatedly putting on and taking off the wearable part 110, making operation more convenient. This invention is suitable for widespread application in the field of patient care.

[0036] The above-disclosed examples are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
