Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically to a sealable toilet. Background Technology
[0002] For some patients or elderly people who are not easy to move, they often lie on the nursing bed for a long time, accompanied by family members or caregivers. When patients need to urinate or defecate while lying on the nursing bed, a urination device is needed to collect their excrement.
[0003] The urinal is placed beside or under the bed, allowing the patient to defecate in it without having to leave the bed too far. To prevent incomplete cleaning and bacterial growth, a collection bag is installed inside the urinal to collect the excrement. After using the toilet, the caregiver removes the collection bag to clean the excrement.
[0004] However, in practice, there are some drawbacks to the use of toilet collection devices and bags. Caregivers cannot always stay by the bedside to watch over the patient. If the collection bag containing excrement is not removed in time, the bag will remain open for a long time, which will not only cause the room, especially the bed, to have a strong odor, but also easily breed bacteria. Especially in the hot summer, the odor will spread very quickly in a short period of time. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sealable toilet to solve the technical problem that existing toilets cannot seal off the patient's excrement.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model specifically provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A closable toilet bowl includes a commode, in which a collection bag for collecting patient excrement is placed, and the opening of the collection bag is fixedly attached to the opening of the commode by a fixing ring.
[0008] A turntable is rotatably installed inside the toilet bowl. A straight groove is formed on the upper surface of the turntable. When the collection bag contains excrement, the collection bag deforms and fits against the groove wall to form a straight strip shape, so that when the turntable rotates, the turntable and the collection bag rotate synchronously.
[0009] A drive mechanism is installed on the toilet bowl to drive the turntable to rotate. When the drive mechanism drives the turntable to rotate, the turntable and the collection bag containing the excrement on it rotate relative to the toilet bowl, so that the opening of the collection bag is twisted and sealed.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the turntable is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the toilet via a bearing, and a channel is provided between the inner and outer sides of the toilet for connecting the turntable to the external driving mechanism.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a driven gear ring is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the turntable, and the driving mechanism includes a drive motor installed on the commode, a drive gear is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and one side of the drive gear passes through the channel and meshes with the driven gear ring.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0013] In this invention, a drive mechanism allows the user to automatically seal the collection bag in the toilet bowl after using the device, thus preventing odors and bacterial growth from occurring if the collection bag cannot be sealed in time when the caregiver is not present.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a sealable toilet, including a commode 3, in which a collection bag 5 for collecting patient excrement is placed, and the opening of the collection bag 5 is fixedly attached to the opening of the commode 3 by a fixing ring 6.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a turntable 4 is rotatably installed inside the toilet bowl 3. A straight groove 401 is opened on the upper surface of the turntable 4. When the collection bag 5 contains excrement, the collection bag 5 deforms and fits against the groove wall of the groove 401 to form a straight strip shape, so that when the turntable 4 rotates, the turntable 4 and the collection bag 5 rotate synchronously.
[0029] A drive mechanism 7 is installed on the toilet bowl 3 to drive the turntable 4 to rotate. When the drive mechanism 7 drives the turntable 4 to rotate, the turntable 4 and the collection bag 5 containing excrement on it rotate relative to the toilet bowl 3, so that the mouth of the collection bag 5 is twisted and sealed.
[0030] When using it, first remove the toilet bowl 3, place the collection bag 5 inside the toilet bowl 3, and fix the opening of the collection bag 5 to the opening of the toilet bowl 3 by fixing the fixing ring 6.
[0031] When the user defecates, the excrement falls into the collection bag 5. After defecation, the drive mechanism 7 is activated, which drives the turntable 4 to rotate. The turntable 4 and the collection bag 5 on it rotate together relative to the toilet bowl 3. Since the opening of the collection bag 5 is fixed to the opening of the toilet bowl 3 by the fixing ring 6, the opening of the collection bag 5 is twisted and sealed to prevent the excrement in the collection bag 5 from emitting odor.
[0032] Afterwards, the user can ask a caregiver to remove the collection bag 5 from the commode 3 and replace it with a new collection bag 5, or wait for the next reuse.
[0033] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the turntable 4 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the toilet bowl 3 via a bearing, and the height of the turntable 4 inside the toilet bowl 3 is set such that when the collection bag 5 is in a tensioned state and contains excrement, the collection bag 5 falls into the straight groove 401, so that when the turntable 4 rotates, the collection bag 5 rotates synchronously with the turntable 4, and a channel 9 is provided between the inner and outer sides of the toilet bowl 3.
[0034] In this embodiment, for some bedridden or postoperative patients who cannot move, this device can be used in conjunction with some special nursing beds. For example, some nursing beds are equipped with a commode opening, and this device can be placed below the commode opening so that the patient can defecate without even having to get out of bed.
[0035] Therefore, this device also includes a bed 1, on which a defecation hole 2 for the patient to use the toilet is opened through, and the commode 3 is located below the defecation hole 2.
[0036] When in use, place the bedpan 3 below the defecation hole 2. The patient can simply remove their clothes to defecate on the bed 1. The excrement falls into the collection bag 5 through the defecation hole 2.
[0037] In order to remotely and quickly drive the turntable 4 to rotate and seal the collection bag 5, in this embodiment, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electric drive turntable 4 is used, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a driven gear ring 8 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the turntable 4. The drive mechanism 7 includes a drive motor 701 mounted on the commode 3. A drive gear 702 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 701, and one side of the drive gear 702 passes through the channel 9 and meshes with the driven gear ring 8. Thus, the drive motor 701 drives the turntable 4 to rotate through the transmission of the drive gear 702 and the driven gear ring 8.
[0038] The control switch for the drive motor 701 can be installed on the bed 1 for easy operation by the user.
[0039] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 As shown, a positioning plate 11 is provided on the lower side of the bed 1, and a guide rod 10 is connected to the positioning plate 11. The guide rod 10 is perpendicular to the length direction of the bed 1. The commode 3 is slidably installed on the guide rod 10. When the commode 3 abuts against the positioning plate 11, the opening of the commode 3 is directly opposite the defecation hole 2, so that the user can easily align the commode 3 with the defecation hole 2.
[0040] A traction ring 12 is provided on the commode 3, and a traction line is connected to the traction ring 12, so that the user can easily pull the commode 3 out of the bed 1.
[0041] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide rod 10 is a telescopic rod. When the guide rod 10 is extended, the commode 3 slides on the guide rod 10 and is pulled out of the bed frame 1 so that the opening of the commode 3 is not blocked by the bed frame 1, making it convenient for the user to change the collection bag 5 inside the commode 3. When the guide rod 10 is retracted, the movable end of the guide rod 10 is located under the bed frame 1 to avoid the guide rod 10 extending outside the bed frame 1 and obstructing pedestrians from walking next to the bed frame 1.
[0042] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The scope of protection of this application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this application within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this application.
