[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein. Based on the embodiments of this utility model described herein, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0036] Therefore, in view of the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model proposes an integrated feces and urine collection device, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown. Figure 1A schematic structural diagram of an integrated fecal and urine collection device according to an embodiment of this application is shown; Figure 2 A schematic cross-sectional view of the integrated collector of the feces and urine collection device according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The integrated feces and urine collection device includes an integrated collector 1, a urine drainage pipe 2, a feces drainage pipe 3, a collection bottle 4, and a negative pressure generator 5.
[0037] The integrated collector 1 includes a urine receiving port 11, a feces receiving port 12, a urine absorbent cotton 13, a urine collection chamber 14, and a high-pressure suction port 15. The integrated collector 1 is used to collect both urine and feces. The urine receiving port 11 is positioned at the patient's urination location to collect urine. The feces receiving port 12 is positioned at the patient's defecation location to collect feces. When the integrated collector 1 is placed in a suitable location, with the urine receiving port 11 aligned with the patient's urination location and the feces receiving port 12 aligned with the patient's defecation location, both urine and feces can be collected simultaneously.
[0038] The urine receiving port 11 is equipped with a urine-absorbing cotton 13, one end of which is connected to the urine collection chamber 14. The feces receiving port 12 is equipped with a high-pressure suction hole 15, which is used to absorb the feces in the feces receiving port 12 into the feces drainage pipe 3.
[0039] The urine-absorbing cotton 13 is placed close to the patient's urination site through the urine receiving port 11, increasing the contact area while absorbing urine. After the negative pressure generator 5 starts, the unit pressure value brought by the negative pressure is reduced to reduce human discomfort and improve absorption. It can be made of sponge or various cotton materials (medical nylon filament is preferred). The urine-absorbing cotton 13 can be a hydrophilic filler, which has both the function of quickly absorbing urine and the hydrophobic effect. After the negative pressure starts, the urine is carried away from the urine-absorbing cotton 13. The sponge has a spatial structure, forming multiple cavities with pores to allow liquid to flow in and out. The end of the urine-absorbing cotton 13 near the feces receiving port 12 is connected to the urine collection chamber 14, which can store excess urine and prevent urine splashing.
[0040] The high-pressure suction port 15 is close to the fecal receiving port 12, which draws the feces received by the fecal receiving port 12 into the fecal drainage tube. After the patient defecates, the feces may adhere to the fecal receiving port 12 and be difficult to be drained into the collection bottle 4 by the fecal drainage tube 3. Therefore, the high-pressure suction port 15 can generate suction to draw the feces into the fecal drainage tube.
[0041] The first end of the urine drainage tube 2 is connected to the urine collection chamber 14, and the second end of the urine drainage tube 2 is connected to the fecal drainage tube 3. The urine drainage tube 2 is used to drain urine into the fecal drainage tube 3. The second end of the urine drainage tube 2 is connected to the fecal drainage tube 3, and under the action of the negative pressure generator 5, the urine drainage tube 2 drains the urine stored in the urine collection chamber 14 into the fecal drainage tube 3. The first end of the fecal drainage tube 3 is connected to the high-pressure suction port 15, and the second end of the fecal drainage tube 3 is connected to the collection bottle 4. The fecal drainage tube 3 is used to drain feces and urine into the collection bottle 4. Under the action of the negative pressure generator 5, the fecal drainage tube 3 drains feces from the fecal receiving port 12 and urine from the urine drainage tube 2 into the collection bottle 4. A negative pressure generator 5 is installed at one end of the fecal drainage tube 3 near the collection bottle 4. The negative pressure generator 5 is used to provide negative pressure for the urine drainage tube 2 and the fecal drainage tube 3.
[0042] According to the embodiment of this utility model, the integrated feces and urine collection device receives urine and feces through the urine receiving port 11 and the feces receiving port 12 of the integrated collector 1, respectively. Under the action of the negative pressure generator 5, the urine and feces are drained to the collection bottle 4 through the urine drainage pipe 2 and the feces drainage pipe 3, so as to discharge the urine and feces in a timely manner and improve the patient's comfort.
[0043] In one embodiment, the collection bottle 4 is equipped with a stress sensor 6, which is used to detect the flow rate of the collection bottle 4. The stress sensor 6 can be located at the inlet of the collection bottle 4 to detect the flow rate of urine and feces collected by the collection bottle 4. When the flow rate reaches a set value, an alarm can be issued, and the collection bottle 4 can be replaced. The stress sensor 6 can be a stress-type vortex flow sensor. Stress-type vortex flow sensors are mainly used for flow measurement of fluid media in industrial pipelines, such as gases, liquids, and steam. The stress-type vortex flow sensor is characterized by low pressure loss, a large measurement range, and high accuracy. When measuring volumetric flow rate under operating conditions, it is almost unaffected by parameters such as fluid density, pressure, temperature, and viscosity.
[0044] In one embodiment, a flow display 7 is provided at one end of the fecal drainage pipe 3 near the collection bottle 4. The flow display 7 is used to display the flow rate of the collection bottle 4. The flow display 7 is connected to a stress sensor and displays the flow rate of the collection bottle 4 detected by the stress sensor.
[0045] In one embodiment, the fecal drainage tube 3 is equipped with a tube connector 8, which is used to seal and open the fecal drainage tube 3. When the patient's stool is hard, it is not easily drained into the collection bottle 4 by the fecal drainage tube 3, and the fecal drainage tube 3 may become blocked, hindering the normal operation of the device. Therefore, the fecal drainage tube 3 is equipped with a tube connector 8. Under normal circumstances, the tube connector 8 can maintain the sealing of the fecal drainage tube 3. In the event of a blockage, the tube connector 8 can separate the fecal drainage tube 3. After the medical staff clears the stool blocking the fecal drainage tube 3, the fecal drainage tube 3 is sealed again for normal operation.
[0046] In one embodiment, a hydrogel patch 9 is provided on the plane where the feces receiving port 12 and the urine receiving port 11 are located, for adhering to the patient's skin. This improves patient comfort and facilitates wound healing.
[0047] In one embodiment, the negative pressure generator 5 includes a negative pressure switch, a negative pressure intensity regulator, and a negative pressure data display. The negative pressure switch is used to turn the negative pressure generator 5 on and off; the negative pressure intensity regulator is used to adjust the negative pressure of the urine drainage tube 2 and the fecal drainage tube 3; and the negative pressure data display is used to display the negative pressure of the urine drainage tube 2 and the fecal drainage tube 3.
[0048] In one embodiment, a connecting pipe 10 is provided inside the fecal receiving port 12 for connecting to the high-pressure suction port 15. The connecting pipe 10 connects the fecal receiving port 12 and the high-pressure suction port 15.
[0049] In one embodiment, the diameter of the urine drainage tube 2 is smaller than the diameter of the fecal drainage tube 3. This ensures that feces can be drained into the collection bottle 4 and prevents blockage.
[0050] In one embodiment, the urine receiving port 11 is located above the feces receiving port 12, the urine receiving port 11 is spindle-shaped, and the feces receiving port 12 is circular.
[0051] In one embodiment, urine-absorbing cotton 13 covers urine receiving port 11 and is used to absorb urine received by urine receiving port 11; urine collection chamber 14 is disposed at one end of urine-absorbing cotton 13 near feces receiving port 12 and is used to store urine.
[0052] This concludes the introduction to the structure of the integrated feces and urine collection device of this utility model. The complete integrated feces and urine collection device may also include other components, which will not be described in detail here.
[0053] According to an embodiment of this utility model, the integrated feces and urine collection device receives urine and feces through the urine receiving port and feces receiving port of the integrated collector, respectively. The urine is collected by urine-absorbing cotton into the urine collection chamber. The urine in the urine collection chamber is drained into the urine drainage pipe. The high-pressure suction hole absorbs the feces into the feces drainage pipe. Under the action of the negative pressure generator, the urine and feces are drained into the collection bottle through the urine drainage pipe and the feces drainage pipe, so as to discharge the urine and feces in a timely manner and improve the patient's comfort.
