Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a weighable bedpan. Background Art

[0002] A bedpan is a container for patients with limited mobility to use in bed or when they are unable to use the toilet normally.

[0003] Bedpans are typically made of materials such as plastic and come in various shapes and sizes. They are generally shallow, allowing patients to urinate and defecate while lying down. They can be easily cleaned and disinfected after use to maintain hygiene. Bedpans are essential nursing care products for bedridden patients and those confined to bed after surgery.

[0004] Currently, many patients suffer from gastrointestinal bleeding in the clinic. Medical staff need to judge the gastrointestinal bleeding situation by observing the amount of blood in the stool. The current situation is that they can only evaluate the amount of stool with the naked eye in a blue bedpan. However, different patients sometimes have watery stools and sometimes have formed stools, which is uncertain. This leads to inaccurate estimation by medical staff through the naked eye, which in turn affects the subsequent treatment plan. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bedpan that can weigh stools of different shapes.

[0005] As in the prior art, patent application number 200920352741.0, a bedpan includes a basin body, the rear of the basin body is higher than the front end, the front end is an arc-shaped flat shape, a handle is provided at the rear of the basin body, and a cover is provided at the opening of the basin body. This technology has the characteristics of easy use, hygiene and safety.

[0006] The above technology is also not convenient for weighing feces of various shapes.

[0033] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present invention, without changing the essential spirit of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can propose a variety of interchangeable structural methods and implementation methods. Therefore, the following specific embodiments and drawings are only illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and should not be regarded as the entire present invention or as a limitation or restriction of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1: Key Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3-5 The device mainly includes a bedpan outer shell 1 and a disposable feces collection bag 3.

[0035] The top of the toilet outer shell 1 is provided with a feces collecting tank 2. A weighing plate 13 is fixedly installed in the feces collecting tank 2, on which a collecting bag top pressure plate 12 is provided. A pressure sensor 14 is installed on the weighing plate 13 to sense the weight of the collecting bag top pressure plate 12.

[0036] An annular groove 4 is provided on the top of the bedpan outer shell 1 , and the upper portion of the disposable feces collecting bag 3 is pressed into the annular groove 4 , and the bottom portion is pressed onto the collecting bag top pressure plate 12 .

[0037] The left and right sides of the inner wall of the feces trough 2 are rotatably connected to first rotating posts 7. The outer walls of the two first rotating posts 7 are fixedly connected to connecting plates 5. The tops of the two connecting plates 5, facing each other, are fixedly connected to inclined pressure plates 6. The feces trough 2 is slidably connected to first and second racks 11 and 15 through first limiting grooves 9 defined in the inner wall. The inner wall of the feces trough 2 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 16. The outer wall of the threaded rod 16 is fixedly connected to a gear 17. The first and second racks 11 and 15 are respectively placed on either side of the gear 17, and the gears 17 mesh with each other.

[0038] Both inclined pressure plates 6 are provided with long grooves 8, and the first rack 11 and the second rack 15 are rotatably connected to the side away from each other with a second rotating column 10. The two second rotating columns 10 cooperate with the two long grooves 8 to enable the two inclined pressure plates 6 to press the two sides of the bottom of the disposable feces collection bag 3 onto the top pressure plate 12 of the collection bag.

[0039] It also includes a controller and a display screen. The controller is electrically connected to the display screen and the pressure sensor 14. The display screen is used to display the current load on the top of the collection bag top pressure plate 12.

[0040] Embodiment 2: Based on the embodiment 1, a technical means for fixing the upper side of the disposable feces collection bag 3 is added.

[0041] Key References Figure 6 A plurality of threaded grooves 18 are provided on the outer shell 1 of the toilet bowl, and a screw 19 is connected to the inner thread of the threaded groove 18. One end of the screw 19 is placed in the annular groove 4, and the part placed in the annular groove 4 is fixedly connected to a disc pressure plate 20, which is used to compress the disposable feces collection bag 3.

[0042] Other features of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment.

[0043] Embodiment 3: Based on the embodiment 2, a technical means is added to enable the inclined pressure plate 6 to stably press the lower side of the disposable feces collection bag 3 against the top of the collection bag top pressure plate 12.

[0044] Key References Figure 2 and Figure 7 The threaded rod 16 passes through the outer casing 1 of the toilet bowl, and a rotating disk 22 is fixedly mounted on the portion outside the outer casing 1. A locking nut 21 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 16. The locking nut 21 presses against the outer wall of the toilet bowl outer casing 1 to secure the threaded rod 16 to the outer casing 1. A plurality of auxiliary rotating bars 23 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking nut 21, and the plurality of auxiliary rotating bars 23 are evenly distributed around the outer wall of the locking nut 21.

[0045] Other features of the third embodiment are the same as those of the second embodiment.

[0046] In the specific implementation, first, the upper outer edge of the disposable feces collection bag 3 is pressed into the annular groove 4, and then the bottom of the disposable feces collection bag 3 is flattened on the top of the collection bag top pressure plate 12. At this time, the threaded rod 16 is rotated so that the two inclined pressure plates 6 press the two sides of the bottom of the disposable feces collection bag 3, and then the locking nut 21 is tightened so that the bottom of the disposable feces collection bag 3 is stably placed on the top of the collection bag top pressure plate 12.

[0047] At this time, the initial weight detected by the pressure sensor 14 is observed through the display screen.

[0048] The disposable feces collection bag 3 is then straightened, tilting from its bottom to its top. This allows feces to be stably placed at the very bottom of the bag, facilitating the pressure sensor 14 to sense the weight of the feces collected within the bag. Screw 19 is then rotated, causing the disc pressure plate 20 to compress the upper side of the disposable feces collection bag 3 within the annular groove 4. This ensures that the disposable feces collection bag 3 stably collects the patient's feces, allowing the pressure sensor 14 to stably and accurately detect the weight of the patient's feces.

[0049] After the patient finishes using the toilet, first loosen the locking nut 21, then rotate the rotating disk 22 so that the two inclined pressure plates 6 no longer press the disposable feces collection bag 3, and then loosen the screw 19 to release the pressure on the upper side of the disposable feces collection bag 3, so that it is convenient to replace the new disposable feces collection bag 3.

[0050] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents described above. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of the present invention, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
