Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of nursing technology, and specifically relates to a defecation care device and a defecation care method for the elderly. Background Art

[0002] Existing nursing pads are mainly used in the care process of patients, the elderly and other people who need to stay in bed for a long time to help keep the skin dry and hygienic. However, traditional nursing pads face the dilemma of not being able to distinguish between urine and feces when used, which makes it impossible for nursing staff to timely and accurately identify the type of excrement of the care recipient in actual care, thereby increasing the difficulty of the care process. For example, when the excrement on the nursing pad cannot be identified, it may cause the care recipient to be exposed to dirt for a long time, increase the risk of skin infection, and may even cause serious problems such as bedsores.

[0003] The common nursing pad designs on the market are mostly simple combinations of absorbent materials and waterproof bottom layers, and do not identify excrement. The detection functions of these nursing pads are limited to simple absorption and isolation, lack effective sensing mechanisms, and cannot provide differentiated alarms for feces and urine. This type of design not only makes it time-consuming and laborious for nursing staff to deal with excrement, but also makes it difficult to timely warn of the appearance of feces, especially at night or when the patient is unconscious, which significantly affects the efficiency and quality of care. In order to solve these problems, some improved nursing pads have been optimized to varying degrees in structure and function, such as adding hygroscopic materials and improving absorption speed, but these optimizations have not fundamentally solved the problem of excrement identification, especially for the identification and care of feces. The existing technology still has obvious defects. How to integrate the identification, detection and warning functions of feces in nursing pads so that nursing staff can accurately and timely identify and effectively handle feces has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

In this way, through the multiple mesh holes 103 and multiple support springs 305, the feces of the elderly can pass through the mesh holes 103 of the cushion body 101 and fall onto the leak-proof unit 2. The structure of the cushion body 101 can provide the nursing device with air permeability, comfort and skin protection. At the same time, the surface unit 1 is located above the leak-proof unit 2 and the support unit 3, and the leak-proof unit 2 is located between the surface unit 1 and the support unit 3. A gap is formed between the leak-proof unit 2 and the surface unit 1. The multiple support springs 305 can adjust the distance between the first leak-proof part 201, the second leak-proof part 202 and the main body 300.

The surface roughness, material (e.g., hydrophobic material), size, and spacing of the grooves 204 can be controlled. These grooves 204 can form a microstructure on the surface of the first leak-proof portion 201 and the surface of the second leak-proof portion 202, so that liquid can quickly slide off the surface of the first leak-proof portion 201 and the surface of the second leak-proof portion 202, thereby reducing the accumulation of stool of the elderly in the first leak-proof portion 201 and the second leak-proof portion 202, and preventing stool of the elderly from passing through the first leak-proof portion 201 and the second leak-proof portion 202, thereby at least completely or partially ensuring the dryness and cleanliness of the surface of the support unit 3.

[0048] In one embodiment, the second trigger part 302 can trigger the switch, and the early warning module may include a buzzer. The gravity of the elderly's defecation will exert force on the support part to drive the edge of the other side of the first leak-proof part 201 and / or the edge of the other side of the second leak-proof part 202 to move downward to squeeze the trigger switch, and the trigger switch is closed. In this way, the circuit of the second trigger part and the early warning module can be connected, and the second trigger part and the second early warning part cooperate to form a second alarm signal, and the buzzer sound an alarm.

[0049] For example, in one embodiment, the second trigger part 302 can be a pressure switch, and the pressure switch can use a spring or a diaphragm. The early warning module can include a buzzer. The gravity of the elderly's defecation will exert force on the support part to drive the edge of the other side of the first leak-proof part 201 and / or the edge of the other side of the second leak-proof part 202 to move downward and contact the pressure switch, so that the pressure switch is subjected to pressure. When the pressure is greater than the set value, the displacement or deformation of the pressure switch can close the circuit of the second trigger part and the early warning module. The second trigger part and the second early warning part cooperate to form a second alarm signal, and the buzzer sounds an alarm.

The trigger structures and trigger conditions of the multiple first trigger parts can be different, which can correspond to different stool weights of the elderly; and / or, there are multiple second trigger parts and second warning parts, and the trigger structures and trigger conditions of the multiple second trigger parts can be different, which can correspond to different stool weights of the elderly; the sensing part, the support part (or each support part), each first trigger part and each first warning part are used to form a first alarm signal together; and / or, each second trigger part and each second warning part are used to form a second alarm signal together, which can improve the accuracy of the nursing device in identifying the stool of the elderly, and can also improve the intensity of the alarm, so as to realize the identification of the stool of the elderly and timely warning, so that the nursing staff can promptly discover that the elderly have defecation behavior, thereby effectively avoiding the discomfort and infection risks caused by untimely care, and improving the quality and level of care for the elderly.

[0052] Of course, it should be noted that, in general, the weight of the stool and urine of the elderly is completely different. Those skilled in the art can set the physical, mechanical, and mathematical relationship between the first trigger part, the second trigger part, the support spring, the sensing part, the edge of the other side of the first leak-proof part, and / or the edge of the other side of the second leak-proof part according to the weight of the stool of the elderly in general, so as to ensure that the first trigger part and the second trigger part will be triggered under certain conditions (for example, including the weight of the stool of the elderly), and the first trigger part and the first early warning part can be used to form the second alarm signal, and / or, the second trigger part and the second early warning part can be used to form the second alarm signal. Obviously, the accuracy of the present invention application for the identification and early warning of the elderly with a large or excessive amount of stool is very high, and it is completely possible to apply to the scene of the elderly with a large or excessive amount of stool. Therefore, the setting of the trigger conditions of the first trigger part and the second trigger part (for example, including the weight of the stool of the elderly) can reduce the probability of the nursing device misidentifying the stool of the elderly, improve the accuracy of the identification and early warning of the nursing device, and then the quality and level of nursing care for the elderly.

[0057] Step S200: taking care of the stool of the elderly.

[0058] Specifically, step S200 includes:

[0059] Step S201: The stool of the elderly falls from the surface unit onto the anti-leakage unit, and the gravity of the stool is applied to the sensing part 203 and the supporting part 303. The sensing part 203, the supporting part 303, the first triggering part and the first early warning part cooperate to form a first alarm signal;

[0060] Specifically, step S201 includes: the stool of the elderly falls from the surface unit onto the anti-leakage unit, and the gravity of the stool of the elderly is applied to the sensing part 203 and the supporting part 303, thereby driving the supporting part 303 to press down the first triggering part, so that the first triggering part and the early warning module circuit are connected, and the sensing part 203, the supporting part 303, the first triggering part and the first early warning part cooperate to form a first alarm signal, and the early warning module alarms.

[0061] And / or, step S202: the stool of the elderly falls from the surface unit onto the leak-proof unit, and the gravity of the stool is applied to the edge of the other side of the first leak-proof part 201 and / or the edge of the other side of the second leak-proof part 202, and the edge of the other side of the first leak-proof part and / or the edge of the other side of the second leak-proof part, the second trigger part 302 and the second early warning part cooperate to form a second alarm signal;

[0062] Specifically, step S202 includes: the feces of the elderly falls from the surface unit onto the leak-proof unit, and the gravity of the feces is applied to the edge on the other side of the first leak-proof part 201 and / or the edge on the other side of the second leak-proof part 202, thereby driving the edge on the other side of the first leak-proof part 201 and / or the edge on the other side of the second leak-proof part 202 to move downward to squeeze the spring 304, and the edge on the other side of the first leak-proof part 201 and / or the edge on the other side of the second leak-proof part 202 contacts the second trigger part, and the edge on the other side of the first leak-proof part 201 and / or the edge on the other side of the second leak-proof part 202 can be used to trigger the second trigger part, so that the second trigger part and the early warning module circuit are connected, and the edge on the other side of the first leak-proof part and / or the edge on the other side of the second leak-proof part, the second trigger part and the second early warning part cooperate to form a second alarm signal, and the early warning module alarms.

[0063] Similarly, in the present application, in general, the weight of the stool and urine of the elderly is completely different. Those skilled in the art can set the physical, mechanical and mathematical relationship between the first trigger part, the second trigger part, the support spring, the sensing part, the edge of the other side of the first leak-proof part and / or the edge of the other side of the second leak-proof part according to the weight of the stool of the elderly in general, so as to ensure that the first trigger part and the second trigger part will be triggered under certain conditions (for example, including the weight of the stool of the elderly), and the first trigger part and the first early warning part can be used to form the second alarm signal, and / or, the second trigger part and the second early warning part can be used to form the second alarm signal. Obviously, the present application is very accurate in identifying and warning the excessive or large amount of stool of the elderly, and it is completely possible to apply to the scene of excessive or large amount of stool of the elderly. Therefore, the setting of the trigger conditions of the first trigger part and the second trigger part (for example, including the weight of the stool of the elderly) can reduce the probability of the nursing device misidentifying the stool of the elderly, improve the accuracy of the identification and early warning of the nursing device, and then the quality and level of nursing care for the elderly.

[0064] In the present invention application, firstly, a plurality of support columns can support the cushion body, and a plurality of support springs and support parts cooperate to support the leak-proof unit, so that the nursing device has better stability and load-bearing capacity. The plurality of mesh holes of the surface unit are designed so that the feces of the elderly can pass through the mesh holes of the cushion body and fall into the leak-proof unit. The structure of the cushion body can provide the nursing device with air permeability, comfort and skin protection; the first leak-proof part and the second leak-proof part are both inclined, the angle range of the first angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, and the angle range of the second angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. The surface roughness, material (such as hydrophobic material), size and spacing of the grooves, these grooves can form microstructures on the surface of the first leak-proof part and the surface of the second leak-proof part, so that liquid, feces, etc. can quickly slide off the surface of the first leak-proof part and the surface of the second leak-proof part, so that it can be used for the elderly. When the amount of stool is large or excessive, the first leak-proof part and the second leak-proof part can guide and disperse the stool of the elderly, reducing the accumulation of stool in the case of large or excessive stool of the elderly, reducing the contact between the stool and the skin of the elderly, reducing the risk of skin infection and pressure sores, and improving the application scope of the nursing device; in addition, the detection module is connected to the early warning module, the detection module includes a first trigger part and / or a second trigger part, the early warning module includes a first early warning part and / or a second early warning part, the sensing part, the supporting part, the first trigger part and the first early warning part are used to form a first alarm signal; and / or the second trigger part and the second early warning part are used to form a second alarm signal, which can identify the stool of the elderly and give a timely early warning, thereby effectively avoiding the discomfort and infection risks caused by untimely care, and improving the quality and level of care for the elderly.

[0065] The present invention and its implementation methods are described above, but such description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
