Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This patent application relates to a main unit and its associated nursing machine, particularly to a sewage level monitoring configuration for the sewage tank of the nursing machine main unit. [Background Technology]
[0002] A nursing care machine, as a device used to process human waste, is primarily designed for individuals unable to manage their own bodily functions. It receives waste and cleans the excretory area, reducing the burden on caregivers and the patient's discomfort. Existing nursing care machines mainly consist of a wearable waste collection device (often called a working head in the nursing care machine field), a main unit, and a water supply pipe and a suction pipe connected to the main unit. The waste collection device has a urinal to receive waste, while the main unit typically includes a negative pressure source to provide suction power, a wastewater tank to hold the waste, and a lifting mechanism. The flushing tank contains clean water. When in use, the toilet is worn under the body. After the body defecates, the main unit supplies water through the water supply pipe to flush the excretory parts, toilet bowl, and excrement. The flushing process begins almost simultaneously with the negative pressure source suction. The sewage carrying the excrement in the toilet bowl is transported to the main unit through the suction pipe along with the suction airflow and stored in the sewage tank. Since the capacity of the sewage tank is limited, it is necessary to monitor the sewage level in the sewage tank so that the sewage tank can be removed and emptied in time when the sewage level rises to a certain level. [Summary of the Invention]
[0003] This patent application provides a main unit for a nursing machine, which has a simple and practical configuration for monitoring the sewage level in the sewage tank.
[0004] A main unit for a nursing machine includes a housing, a negative pressure source that provides power for suctioning human excrement, and a wastewater tank that holds the waste suctioned by the negative pressure source.

When the wastewater in the wastewater tank reaches a first water level, the first and second conductive probes are electrically connected due to the conductive connection of the wastewater in the wastewater tank.
[0005] This design utilizes the conductivity of the sewage collected in the sewage tank as a conductive medium. When the sewage in the tank reaches the first water level, the first and second conductive probes become electrically connected due to the conductive connection of the sewage in the tank.

Detailed Implementation Methods
[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the nursing machine of this patent application includes a main unit, which has a housing 10, a negative pressure source 11 that provides power for suctioning human excrement, and a wastewater tank 2 that contains the waste suctioned by the negative pressure source 11. The negative pressure source 11 and the wastewater tank 2 are located inside the housing 10, with the negative pressure source 11 located downstream of the wastewater tank 2 to create a suction effect inside the wastewater tank 2. The wastewater tank 2 is equipped with a first conductive probe 20 and a second conductive probe 21. The first conductive probe 20 and the second conductive probe 21 are used as a pair to monitor the water level of the wastewater in the wastewater tank 2. When the wastewater in the wastewater tank 2 reaches a first water level, the first conductive probe 20 and the second conductive probe 21 are electrically connected due to the conductive connection of the wastewater in the wastewater tank 2. The electrical connection between the first conductive probe 20 and the second conductive probe 21 corresponds to the sewage in the sewage tank 2 reaching the first water level. Utilizing the conductivity of the sewage collected in the sewage tank 2 as a conductive medium, after the sewage in the sewage tank 2 reaches the first water level, the first conductive probe 20 and the second conductive probe 21 are electrically connected through the conductive connection of the sewage in the sewage tank 2. The configuration is simple and practical. The negative pressure source 11 includes a motor (not shown) and an impeller (not shown). The impeller rotates under the drive of the motor to generate a suction airflow, thereby providing the power to suction human excrement. The rated power of the motor is between 100W and 5000W.
[0049] Wastewater tank 2 is also equipped with a third conductive probe 22. The third conductive probe 22 is positioned higher than the second conductive probe 21 and the first conductive probe 20. The first conductive probe 20 and the third conductive probe 22 are used as a pair to monitor the water level of the wastewater in wastewater tank 2. When the wastewater in wastewater tank 2 reaches the second water level, the first conductive probe 20 and the third conductive probe 22 are electrically connected due to the conductive connection of the wastewater in wastewater tank 2. The second water level is higher than the first water level. The first and second water levels can be selected as needed. Generally, after the wastewater in wastewater tank 2 is detected to have reached the first water level, wastewater tank 2 should be removed and emptied as soon as possible. When the wastewater in wastewater tank 2 reaches the second water level, it means that wastewater tank 2 is almost full, so time is of the essence, and wastewater tank 2 should be removed and emptied immediately. Therefore, users should not wait until the wastewater in wastewater tank 2 reaches the second water level before emptying wastewater tank 2. Instead of blindly identifying any water level in the sewage tank 2, the first and second water levels are used as target water levels. When the sewage in the sewage tank 2 reaches the first or second water level, the host can be set to issue a corresponding alarm to notify the user to empty the sewage tank 2.
[0050] It is easy to understand that the sewage in sewage tank 2, as a conductive medium, is capable of conducting electricity. The electrical connection between the first conductive probe 20 and the second conductive probe 21 means that the circuit containing the first conductive probe 20 and the second conductive probe 21 is conductive. Based on this, the main controller can determine that the sewage in sewage tank 2 has reached the corresponding water level (first water level). Similarly, the electrical connection between the first conductive probe 20 and the third conductive probe 22 means that the circuit containing the first conductive probe 20 and the third conductive probe 22 is conductive. Based on this, the main controller can determine that the sewage in sewage tank 2 has reached the corresponding water level (second water level). Under normal circumstances, if the sewage in sewage tank 2 has not reached the first water level, the circuit between the first conductive probe 20 and the second conductive probe 21 is open; if the sewage in sewage tank 2 has not reached the second water level, the circuit between the first conductive probe 20 and the third conductive probe 22 is open. After the sewage in the sewage tank 2 reaches the first water level, the first conductive probe 20 and the second conductive probe 21 are respectively at least partially immersed in the sewage in the sewage tank 2, thereby being electrically connected by the conductive connection of the sewage in the sewage tank 2; after the sewage in the sewage tank 2 reaches the second water level, the first conductive probe 20 and the third conductive probe 22 are respectively at least partially immersed in the sewage in the sewage tank 2, thereby being electrically connected by the conductive connection of the sewage in the sewage tank 2.
[0051] The sewage tank 2 is provided with a first side wall 230, a second side wall 231, a third side wall 232, and a fourth side wall 233. The first side wall 230 and the second side wall 231 are spaced apart and opposite to each other, and the third side wall 232 and the fourth side wall 233 are spaced apart and opposite to each other. The third side wall 232 is connected between one side of the first side wall 230 and one side of the second side wall 231, and the fourth side wall 233 is connected between the opposite side of the first side wall 230 and the opposite side of the second side wall 231. The first conductive probe 20 is provided on the first side wall 230, and the second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22 are provided on the second side wall 231. The inner wall of the sewage tank 2 inevitably retains stains, sewage traces, and residual sewage film. These stains, sewage traces, and sewage film have a certain degree of conductivity. The present application is designed in such a way that the second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22 are effectively separated from the first conductive probe 20. This helps to avoid the accidental situation where the stains, sewage traces, and sewage film on the inner wall of the sewage tank 2 cause electrical connection between the third conductive probe 22 and / or the second conductive probe 21 and the first conductive probe 20 when the sewage level in the sewage tank 2 has not reached the predetermined height. This helps to avoid false alarms in sewage level monitoring.
[0052] The second sidewall 231 is provided with a first protruding rib 2310 and a second protruding rib 2311, which are spaced apart and located on the inner side of the second sidewall 231. The third conductive probe 22 is located on the first protruding rib 2310, and the second conductive probe 21 is located on the second protruding rib 2311. It is understandable that once the second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22 are electrically connected by residual stains, sewage traces, or residual sewage film on the inner wall surface of the second sidewall 231, it means that the second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22 become one, thus losing the ability to distinguish between high and low water levels. The first rib 2310 and the second rib 2311, being protruding, can suppress the formation of residual sewage traces and films on them, and can also isolate residual sewage traces and films to a certain extent. The second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22 are located on their respective corresponding spaced ribs, which helps to prevent residual sewage traces and films from electrically connecting the second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22, thus preventing the failure of the high and low water level differentiation capability. In addition, the first rib 2310 and the second rib 2311 can also isolate residual sewage traces and films on the inner wall surface of the second sidewall 231 to a certain extent, making it difficult for residual sewage traces and films on the inner wall surface of the second sidewall 231 to reach the point where they can electrically connect the second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22.
[0053] The first sidewall 230 and the second sidewall 231 are spaced apart front to back, and the third sidewall 232 and the fourth sidewall 233 are spaced apart left to right. The second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22 are staggered in both the front-back and left-right directions. The first rib 2310 and the second rib 2311 extend vertically. This design effectively separates the second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22, preventing them from being electrically connected by residual sewage traces or residual sewage membranes.
[0054] The sewage tank 2 is also provided with a first bottom wall 234, a top cover 235, and a connecting device 236. The top cover 235 is vertically spaced opposite the first bottom wall 234. The lower ends of the first side wall 230, the second side wall 231, the third side wall 232, and the fourth side wall 233 are respectively connected to the first bottom wall 234. The upper ends of the first side wall 230, the second side wall 231, the third side wall 232, and the fourth side wall 233 together form a port. Covered by the top cover 235, the connecting device 236 is detachably installed on the top cover 235. The connecting device 236 has a waste inlet pipe 2360 and an airflow outlet pipe 2361. One end of the waste inlet pipe 2360 and one end of the airflow outlet pipe 2361 are directly fluidly connected to the inside of the sewage tank 2. The airflow outlet pipe 2361 is located upstream of the negative pressure source 11 and downstream of the waste inlet pipe 2360. Under the suction of the negative pressure source 11, the waste... The waste enters the sewage tank 2 through the waste inlet pipe 2360 and is discharged into the sewage tank 2. Under the suction of the negative pressure source 11, the suction airflow is discharged out of the sewage tank 2 through the airflow outlet pipe 2361 and flows towards the negative pressure source 11. The waste inlet pipe 2360 is close to the first side wall 230 and far away from the second side wall 231. Therefore, when the waste is sucked into the sewage tank 2 through the waste inlet pipe 2360, it is more likely or more probable that the sewage and other waste will splash or contaminate the inner wall surface of the first side wall 230 rather than the inner wall surface of the second side wall 231. As a result, there is less sewage and other waste residue on the inner wall surface of the second side wall 231 than on the inner wall surface of the first side wall 230. This helps to prevent the second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22 on the second side wall 231 from being electrically connected by the sewage and other waste residue on the inner wall surface of the second side wall 231, thus avoiding the failure of the high and low water level differentiation capability. A filter screen 2362 may be provided at one end of the airflow outlet pipe 2361 to prevent excrement from being sucked into the airflow outlet pipe 2361.
[0055] The wastewater tank 2 is also provided with a first handle 237 and a second handle 238. The upper cover 235 is provided with a connection port (not shown). The connecting device 236 is detachably installed on the connection port. The connection port is close to the first side wall 230 and away from the second side wall 231. The connection port can be used as a wastewater pouring port (that is, the user can pour out the wastewater in the wastewater tank 2 through the connection port). The first handle 237 is provided on the upper cover 235 and can be used to lift the wastewater tank 2. The first handle 237 is located on the side of the connection port away from the first side wall 230 and close to the second side wall 231. The second handle 238 is formed at the end of the first bottom wall 234 close to the second side wall 231. The first bottom wall 234 is provided with a recess 2340 corresponding to the second handle 238, which is concave upward from the bottom side of the first bottom wall 234. When a person holds the second handle 238, their fingers can be accommodated in the recess 2340. This design allows users to easily pour wastewater and other waste from the wastewater tank 2 from the side where the first side wall 230 is located, while holding the first handle 237 with one hand and the second handle 238 with the other. This results in less wastewater residue remaining on the inner wall of the second side wall 231 compared to the inner wall of the first side wall 230, thus reducing the likelihood of electrical connection between the second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22 on the inner wall of the second side wall 231 due to residual wastewater or other contaminants. Users can carry the wastewater tank 2 to the bathroom, detach the connecting device 236 from the connecting port, and then pour the wastewater and other waste from the wastewater tank 2 out through the connecting port. The recess 2340 is formed along with the molded second handle 238.
[0056] The main unit also includes a first tank body 3, in which the sewage tank 2 is at least partially housed. The upper end of the first tank body 3 is an opening for the sewage tank 2 to be placed downwards into the first tank body 3.

The second bottom wall 30 is provided with an upwardly protruding convex bulge 300, which matches and is accommodated in a recess 2340. This design can prevent incorrect installation of the sewage tank 2 and enhance the relative positional stability between the sewage tank 2 and the first tank body 3. In this embodiment, the upper cover 235 is detachably connected to the third side wall 232 and the fourth side wall 233 by several fasteners 25. The connecting device 236 is screwed onto the connecting port. The outer periphery of the connecting port is provided with external threads, and correspondingly, the inner periphery of the connecting device 236 is provided with internal threads 2364, so that the connecting port and the connecting device 236 are detachably screwed together.
[0057] The wastewater tank 2 is equipped with a fourth conductive probe 24, which is located on the first side wall 230.

The first conductive spring 40 and the fourth conductive spring 43 are spaced apart and short-circuited. Thus, when the first conductive probe 20 is electrically connected to the first conductive spring 40 and the fourth conductive probe 24 is electrically connected to the fourth conductive spring 43, the first conductive probe 20 and the fourth conductive probe 24 are also short-circuited. With this configuration, the fourth conductive probe 24 serves as a backup for the first conductive probe 20 to a certain extent and can also be used with the third conductive probe 22 to monitor the second water level. The first conductive probe 20 and the second conductive probe 21 are at essentially the same height. In this embodiment, the first conductive probe 20 and the second conductive probe 21 are at the same height. The third conductive probe 22 and the fourth conductive probe 24 are at essentially the same height. In this embodiment, the third conductive probe 22 and the fourth conductive probe 24 are at the same height.

The first conductive probe 20 and the fourth conductive probe 24 are disposed on the at least one protruding rib. This design reduces the probability of electrical connection between the first conductive probe 20 and the fourth conductive probe 24 on the first sidewall 230 and the second conductive probe 21 and the third conductive probe 22 on the second sidewall 231 via sewage traces or sewage films on the inner wall surfaces of the sewage tank 2. The at least one protruding rib includes a third protruding rib 2300, which extends vertically.

After the sewage in the sewage tank 2 reaches the first water level, the first conductive end cap 201 and the second conductive end cap 211 are respectively at least partially immersed in the sewage in the sewage tank 2, so that they are electrically connected under the conductive connection of the sewage in the sewage tank 2, and thus the first conductive probe 20 and the second conductive probe 21 are electrically connected under the conductive connection of the sewage in the sewage tank 2.
[0061] The third conductive probe 22 is positioned higher than the second conductive probe 21 and the first conductive probe 20.
