After the shorts are worn by the incontinent patient, the elastic mechanism restricts the data cable, and the data cable is passively wound on the surface of the winding wheel and fixed. The data cable can be freely wound or unwound when the shorts are taken off.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the elastic mechanism includes an outer plate and an inner plate fixedly connected to the outside of the shorts, a transmission rod is rotatably inserted in the outer plate through a bearing, and the transmission rod is inserted into the outer side of the outer plate and fixedly connected to a knob at one end, and the middle part of the other end of the transmission rod is fixedly inserted into a through hole opened in the winding wheel through a fixed disk, thereby fixedly connecting the transmission rod and the winding wheel.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the tensioning mechanism also includes a fixing rod fixedly connected to the side of the inner plate facing the outer plate, and a sleeve with a hollow interior is provided at the top of the fixing rod, and the sleeve is movably inserted in the through hole.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] See also Figures 1-8 The embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution for wearable incontinence warning shorts: comprising: shorts 1 and an abdominal belt 3 provided at the waist of the shorts 1, and further comprising:

[0035] The sensor module 4 is provided with a pressure sensor, a gravity sensor and a temperature sensor. The sensor module 4 is attached to the inner side of the crotch of the shorts 1. After the shorts 1 are worn on the incontinent patient, the sensor module 4 is attached to the outside of the diaper. The pressure and gravity generated by the expansion of the diaper after absorbing urine and feces, combined with the heat in the patient's urine and feces, are used to timely monitor the excretion of the incontinent patient.

[0036] Optionally, the shorts 1 are of split structure, that is, both sides of the shorts 1 are open and connected by Velcro, which makes it more convenient for the patient to wear.

[0037] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, preferably, a battery compartment 2 with a Velcro fastener provided at the opening is provided on the surface of the shorts 1 .

[0038] Another embodiment provided by the present invention further includes: a data line 5, the two ends of the data line 5 are connected and the middle part is divided into two parts, the two ends of the data line 5 are respectively connected to the sensor module 4 and the battery compartment 2;

[0039] The elastic mechanism is in transmission connection with the data cable 5, and the length of the data cable 5 is adjusted according to the waist size of the incontinent patient. After the shorts 1 are worn on the incontinent patient, the elastic mechanism restricts the data cable 5, and the data cable 5 is passively wound on the surface of the winding wheel 8 and fixed. When the shorts 1 are taken off, the data cable 5 can be freely wound or unwound.

[0040] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, the elastic mechanism includes an outer plate 6 and an inner plate 9 fixedly connected to the outside of the shorts 1, and a transmission rod 18 is rotatably inserted in the outer plate 6 through a bearing 17. The transmission rod 18 is inserted into the outer side of the outer plate 6 and is fixedly connected to the knob 7 at one end. The middle part of the other end of the transmission rod 18 is fixedly inserted into the through hole 13 opened in the winding wheel 8 through a fixed disk 16, thereby fixing the transmission rod 18 to the winding wheel 8.

[0041] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, the tensioning mechanism further includes a fixing rod 12 fixedly connected to the side of the inner plate 9 facing the outer plate 6 , and a sleeve 19 with a hollow interior is provided at the top of the fixing rod 12 , and the sleeve 19 is movably inserted into the through hole 13 .

[0042] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, the bottom end of the transmission rod 18 is fixedly connected to the limiting gear 15 and the locking gear 14 and is movably inserted into the cavity opened at the top of the sleeve 19. The surfaces of the limiting gear 15 and the locking gear 14 are slidingly engaged with the connecting strip 23, and the locking strip 23 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the open end of the cavity of the sleeve 19.

[0043] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, a slide bar 21 is slidably connected to the outer side of the sleeve 19 through a slide rail 20, and an internally connected wire harness hole 22 is opened on the surface and end of the slide bar 21. The data cable 5 is inserted into the wire harness hole 22 and discharged through the through hole 13 to the wire arrangement hole 11 opened in the winding reel 8 and wound on the surface of the winding reel 8.

[0044] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, the limiting gear 15 and the locking gear 14 are fixedly connected, and the locking gear 14 is arranged at the end of the transmission rod 18. The diameter of the limiting gear 15 is larger than that of the locking gear 14, and both the limiting gear 15 and the locking gear 14 can engage with each other with the locking strip 23.

[0045] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, the rack arranged on the surface of the limiting gear 15 is inclined, and each tooth is in the shape of a right-angled triangle. When the clamping strip 23 is engaged with the limiting gear 15, the limiting gear 15 can only rotate clockwise. At the same time, when the clamping strip 23 is engaged with the locking gear 14, the locking gear 14 can be rotated freely, and will be restricted by a certain force during the rotation process.

[0046] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, preferably, elastic strips 10 with deformation function are provided at both ends between the outer plate 6 and the inner plate 9 .

[0047] When used on an incontinent patient, the incontinent patient first puts on a layer of adult diapers, and then fits the sensor module 4 to the desired position in the shorts 1. After connecting the sensor module 4 to the data line 5 provided in the abdominal band 3 of the shorts 1, the incontinence warning shorts 1 are worn externally, and the power supply is plugged into the battery compartment 2 and connected to the other end of the data line 5, so that the pressure sensor, gravity sensor and temperature sensor provided in the sensor module 4 are powered by the power supply.

[0048] When wearing the shorts 1, after putting the shorts 1 on the outside of the diaper, the sensor module 4 is attached to the outside of the diaper, and the tightness of the abdominal band 3 of the shorts 1 can be adjusted according to the size of the waist of the person, so that the shorts 1 can be worn more fitly on the person;

[0049] When the size of the abdominal binder 3 of the shorts 1 needs to be adjusted, since the shorts 1 are worn on an incontinent patient, the abdominal binder 3 with elasticity contracts by itself and fits the inner plate 9 to the waist of the person. At this time, since the inner plate 9 fits the waist of the person, the waist of the person will pass through the elastic strip 10 between the inner plate 9 and the outer plate 6, thereby bringing the inner plate 9 and the outer plate 6 closer to each other. At this time, in the process of adjusting the tightness of the shorts 1, grab the knob 7 and press the outer plate 6 inward. At this time, the knob 7 will also squeeze the outer plate 6. The bottom end of the transmission rod 18 fixedly connected by the knob 7 through the outer plate 6 through the bearing 17 is inserted into the sleeve 19, and the limiting gear 15 set at the bottom end of the transmission rod 18 is engaged with the clip strips 23 set on both sides of the opening in the sleeve 19. Through the engagement between the limiting gear 15 and the clip strip 23, and in conjunction with the limiting gear 1 5 is restricted by the rack inclined to one side, and the limit between the card strip 23 and the limit gear 15 is limited, so that the limit gear 15 can only rotate clockwise with the transmission rod 18 and the knob 7, and the transmission rod 18 drives the winding wheel 8 fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission rod 18 to rotate clockwise while rotating clockwise, thereby winding the data cable 5 around the surface of the winding wheel 8, thereby winding the data cable 5 set in the abdominal band 3. After the data cable 5 is wound, the knob 7 is released. At this time, the position of the limit gear 15 and the rack is fixedly engaged, thereby fixing the position of the knob 7 and the transmission rod 18, thereby fixing the tightness of the shorts 1, and fixing the shorts 1 more closely to the person's body, thereby better fitting the sensor module 4 to the diaper, thereby better monitoring the situation in the diaper;

[0050] When the transmission rod 18 is rotated by the knob 7 to wind the data cable 5 around the surface of the winding reel 8, the data cable 5 passes through the cable bundle hole 22 opened in the slide bar 21 and is inserted into the center position of the winding reel 8 through the through hole 13, and the data cable 5 is discharged outward from the cable arrangement hole 11 opened on the winding reel 8 and wound around the surface of the winding reel 8. When winding or unwinding the data cable 5, the data cable 5 will drive the slide bar 21 to rotate along the slide rail 20 outside the sleeve 19 while rotating with the winding reel 8, so that one end of the data cable 5 will not be entangled with the rotation of the winding reel 8. Therefore, when winding or unwinding the data cable 5 on the surface of the winding reel 8, only one end of the data cable 5 will be wound or unwound;

[0051] When the shorts 1 need to be taken off, the knob 7 can be grasped and pulled outward, and the transmission rod 18 can be pulled outward by the knob 7, thereby separating the limiting gear 15 at the bottom end of the transmission rod 18 from the clamping strip 23, and meshing the clamping gear 14 at the bottom end of the transmission rod 18 with the clamping strip 23, so that the knob 7 is turned counterclockwise to drive the winding wheel 8 to rotate counterclockwise, and the data cable 5 wound on the surface of the winding wheel 8 is unwound, thereby loosening the tightness of the abdominal band 3 of the shorts 1, and the shorts 1 can be taken off;

[0052] After the shorts 1 are put on, the shorts 1 are tightly attached to the outside of the diaper. At this time, the sensor module 4 is tightly attached to the outside of the diaper. When the incontinent patient excretes urine and feces:

[0053] The pressure sensor provided in the sensor module 4 fits together with the diaper, and the diaper will expand and squeeze the pressure sensor. At the same time, the weight in the diaper will also increase, and the diaper will squeeze the gravity sensor downward under the action of gravity. At the same time, since urine and feces have a certain temperature when they are discharged from the body, the temperature in the diaper is monitored by the temperature sensor. After monitoring and processing the signal based on the sensor in the sensor module 4, when urine or feces is present in the diaper of the incontinent person, the signal can be transmitted to the alarm in the nurse station or ward to remind medical staff to change the diaper of the incontinent patient, and when the shorts 1 need to be changed and cleaned, after taking off the shorts 1, the sensor module 4 and the power supply are removed, and the shorts 1 can be directly cleaned.

[0054] It should be noted that:

[0055] The shorts 1 are made of stretchable fabric. When the shorts 1 are worn, a belly band is provided at the waist to tighten the shorts and fit tightly against the waist. The stretchability of the shorts can also make the entire shorts fit closely to the human skin, thereby better fitting the sensor module to the human body and realizing real-time monitoring of various data.

[0056] The implementation method between the pressure sensor, gravity sensor and temperature sensor in the sensor module 4 is as follows:

[0057] Sensor installation position design:

[0058] The three sensors are integrated into the sensor module (4), which is fitted onto the inner side of the crotch of the shorts (1). The specific installation layout is as follows:

[0059] Pressure sensor:

[0060] Distributed in the central area of ​​the contact surface between the module and the diaper, they are arranged in a matrix (3-5 micro pressure-sensitive elements).

[0061] Function: Real-time monitoring of the horizontal / vertical squeezing force generated by the expansion of the diaper after absorbing excrement, covering the main stress-bearing area of ​​the crotch.

[0062] Gravity sensor:

[0063] It is embedded in the center of the bottom of the module and perpendicular to the surface of the diaper.

[0064] Function: Detect the weight change of diapers caused by absorbing excrement, and convert the gravity acceleration data into actual weight value.

[0065] Temperature sensor:

[0066] Distributed in the edge area of ​​the module, close to the human skin.

[0067] Function: Monitors the real-time temperature of excreta (urine / feces) and distinguishes normal body temperature from abnormal excreta temperature rise (e.g. urine temperature is about 36-38°C, which is higher than the skin surface temperature).

[0068] Electrical connection and signal transmission path:

[0069] Hardware connection architecture:

[0070] Power supply link: The power source (such as a lithium battery) in the battery compartment (2) supplies power to the sensor module (4) via the data line (5).

[0071] Key components:

[0072] Battery compartment (2): Integrates a microcontroller (MCU) and a wireless transmitter, responsible for signal aggregation, processing, and wireless transmission.

[0073] Data cable (5): adopts a retractable design and is wound up through an elastic mechanism (winding wheel 8, etc.) to avoid entanglement and adapt to waist movements.

[0074] Signal type and transmission protocol:

[0075] Analog signal: The pressure sensor outputs a voltage signal (0-5V), the gravity sensor outputs an acceleration digital signal (I²C protocol), and the temperature sensor outputs a resistance signal (converted to a digital signal through ADC).

[0076] Digital signal: The microcontroller converts the three types of signals into JSON format data, including timestamp, patient ID, pressure value, weight value, temperature value and other fields, and transmits them wirelessly to the nurse station server via the MQTT protocol.

[0077] Signal processing logic and threshold setting:

[0078] Data fusion algorithm:

[0079] The microcontroller uses a multi-sensor fusion algorithm to determine excretion events through the following logic:

[0080] Pressure trigger: The pressure value exceeds the threshold (such as 5kPa, corresponding to diaper expansion and compression) and the duration is greater than 10 seconds.

[0081] Gravity verification: Gravity value increment > 200g (preset single minimum excretion volume), which occurs synchronously with pressure changes.

[0082] Temperature confirmation: The temperature rises by more than 2°C (excluding ambient temperature interference), and the temperature value is between 36-38°C (consistent with the characteristics of human excrement).

[0083] Only when the three types of sensor data meet the conditions at the same time can it be determined as a valid excretion event and an alarm be triggered.

[0084] Anti-interference design:

[0085] Filtering: Kalman filtering is performed on the pressure and temperature signals to eliminate motion noise (such as instantaneous pressure fluctuations caused by the patient turning over).

[0086] Time window mechanism: When the same signal is triggered repeatedly within 5 minutes, only the first alarm will be triggered to avoid repeated prompts.

[0087] Nursing Station Alert Process:

[0088] Receiving and parsing:

[0089] The nurse station is equipped with a central monitoring terminal (computer or dedicated alarm) that receives the signal sent by the shorts through a wireless receiver (such as a Wi-Fi hotspot).

[0090] After the terminal software parses the data, it displays on the interface:

[0091] Patient bed number, name, and ID (associated through the built-in RFID tag in the shorts).

[0092] Real-time monitoring data (pressure, weight, temperature curve).

[0093] The type of alarm (e.g., "urinary discharge," "fecal discharge") and the time it occurred.

[0094] Alarm triggering method:

[0095] Sound and light alarm:

[0096] Sound: The buzzer emits a high-frequency alarm sound, which lasts until manually confirmed.

[0097] Light: The LED light corresponding to the patient's bed number flashes (red for emergency alarm, yellow for warning).

[0098] Mobile Notification: Pop-up notifications containing patient information and alarm location are pushed to the on-duty nurse’s mobile phone via the Nurse Station App.

[0099] Nursing Response Process:

[0100] After the nurse confirms the alarm, the system automatically records the alarm time and response time for nursing efficiency statistics.

[0101] After changing the diaper, clear the alarm by pressing the reset button on the terminal or shorts, and the sensor returns to the monitoring state.

[0102] System advantages and innovations:

[0103] Multi-dimensional precise monitoring: Combines pressure, gravity, and temperature to avoid false alarms from a single sensor (e.g., changes in pressure alone may be caused by changes in the patient's position).

[0104] Real-time and convenient: Wireless transmission delay is less than 5 seconds, and the nurse station can monitor multiple beds simultaneously; the shorts can be disassembled and washed independently, and the sensor module and battery compartment can be quickly disassembled and assembled.

[0105] Humanized design: The elastic strip (10) and the adaptive elastic mechanism reduce the sense of restraint, and the temperature sensor avoids direct contact with the skin, thereby improving the patient's comfort.

[0106] Through the above design, the system realizes the automation of the entire process from physiological signal collection, data processing to remote warning, significantly improving the efficiency of incontinence patient care and reducing the workload and infection risk of nursing staff.

[0107] The above description is merely illustrative of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It goes without saying that those skilled in the art will be able to modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims.
