Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, and in particular to a wearable stool collector for bedridden patients. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical care, caring for bedridden patients is always a challenging task. This is especially true for bedridden patients with fecal incontinence. Effectively collecting stool, maintaining skin cleanliness, preventing infection, and reducing the burden on caregivers are critical issues that urgently need to be addressed. A well-designed and fully functional wearable stool collector is of great significance for improving patients' quality of life and the efficiency of nursing care.

[0003] Currently, the market offers a limited variety of fecal collection devices for bedridden patients. Some simple devices use a disposable diaper-like design, employing absorbent material to collect feces. However, this method fails to effectively isolate feces from the patient's skin, easily leading to prolonged skin contact and skin inflammation. Other collectors borrow the principle of ostomy bags, attaching themselves around the anus. However, the attachment process can easily damage the patient's skin, and frequent changes not only increase patient discomfort but also incur high costs. From a mechanical perspective, these products lack flexible and efficient collection and cleaning mechanisms, relying primarily on complete replacement or manual cleaning, resulting in significant shortcomings in terms of ease of operation and hygiene.

[0004] However, existing fecal collection devices generally suffer from a serious problem: the inability to quickly empty the contents of the bag. Once a certain amount of feces has been collected, the cleaning process becomes cumbersome and complex. Caregivers often need to carefully remove the entire collection device from the patient, and due to the poor design of the bag, it is difficult to quickly empty or clean the contents. For example, the bag opening design may hinder rapid fecal expulsion, or the lack of an effective guiding structure may result in fecal residue during cleaning. This not only significantly increases the difficulty of the caregiver's work, requiring considerable time and effort for each cleaning, but also greatly increases the workload. Caregivers need to frequently handle the collection device, severely impacting the efficiency of nursing care and indirectly affecting the overall quality of patient care. Therefore, a wearable fecal collection device for bedridden patients is proposed to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a wearable stool collector for bedridden patients, aiming to improve the problem in the prior art that the stool bag cannot be cleaned quickly, which leads to a significant increase in the difficulty and workload of caregivers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A wearable stool collector for bedridden patients includes a connecting hose, one end of which is fixedly connected to a stool bag, and another end of which is fixedly connected to an anal tube. A sealing component is provided at the bottom of the stool bag.

[0008] The sealing assembly includes an unfolding plate, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stool bag. A sleeve is slidably connected to the outer wall of the unfolding plate, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve. The side wall of the clamping plate is disposed on the outer wall of the unfolding plate, and a spring is disposed on the side wall of the clamping plate. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamping plate, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to another side wall of the clamping plate. An anti-slip component is disposed on the outer wall of the anal tube.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The anti-slip component includes a sponge plastic ring, the outer wall of which is disposed on the outer wall of the anal canal, and a connecting ring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sponge plastic ring;

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] A connecting belt is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting ring, a waist belt is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting belt, and a flexible pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the waist belt;

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] One end of the belt is fixedly connected to a second buckle, and the other end of the belt is fixedly connected to a first buckle;

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] A fixing ring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the anal tube, an inflatable air bladder is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring, and a connecting tube is fixedly connected inside the inflatable air bladder.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The outer wall of the connecting pipe is fixedly rolled inside the fixing ring, and a horn tube is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe;

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] A barbed ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the horn tube, and a retaining ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the horn tube. The outer wall of the retaining ring is disposed on the side wall of the barbed ring.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. In this utility model, the outlet of the unfolding plate is attached together, the bottom is inserted into the inner wall of the sleeve, and the card plate is gathered by the spring force to stick to the side wall of the unfolding plate, which achieves the effect of quickly cleaning the dirt inside the stool bag. This solves the problem that the inability to quickly clean the dirt inside the stool bag leads to a significant increase in the difficulty and workload of nursing staff, and improves the practicality of the wearable stool collector.

[0023] 2. In this utility model, by pushing the retaining ring, the air pump tube is inserted into the inner wall of the horn tube. Then, the retaining ring is released, and the side wall of the retaining ring is separated from the side wall of the barbed ring, which achieves the effect of quickly connecting the air pump tube. This solves the problem in the prior art that the air bladder is generally inflated by pressing, which results in a slow inflation speed of the air bladder and increases the risk of accidental leakage of feces. This improves the stability of the wearable feces collector. Attached Figure Description

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a wearable stool collector for bedridden patients, comprising a connecting hose 3 made of medical-grade silicone. Medical-grade silicone has excellent flexibility, easily adapting to various body postures of the patient while bedridden. A stool bag 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting hose 3, and an insertion tube 2 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting hose 3. The insertion tube 2 is made of soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is soft and minimizes patient discomfort when inserted into the anus. A sealing component is provided at the bottom of the stool bag 4.

[0033] The sealing assembly includes an unfolding plate 11, which is made of polypropylene. PP material has high strength and hardness, providing stable and reliable support for the bottom of the stool bag 4, ensuring the sealing assembly maintains normal operation during repeated use. The top of the unfolding plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stool bag 4. A sleeve 12, made of ABS plastic, is slidably connected to the outer wall of the unfolding plate 11. ABS plastic has good wear resistance, maintaining good sliding performance during long-term sliding contact with the outer wall of the unfolding plate 11, and is not prone to wear, thus ensuring smooth operation of the sealing assembly. A retaining plate 13, made of nylon, is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 12. Nylon has self-lubricating properties, resulting in low friction when sliding in contact with the outer wall of the unfolding plate 11, making operation more effortless and allowing patients or caregivers to easily complete the sealing action. A spring 14, made of stainless steel, is located on the side wall of the retaining plate 13 on the outer wall of the unfolding plate 11. The stainless steel spring 14 has high elasticity and strength, and can provide stable elastic force to keep the card plate 13 in a proper position when not in use, so as to facilitate quick sealing operation next time. One end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the card plate 13, and the other end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of another card plate 13. The outer wall of the anal tube 2 is provided with anti-slip components.

[0034] Specifically, the feces then flow into the feces bag 4 through the connecting hose 3. Once a certain amount of waste accumulates inside the feces bag 4, the operator pulls the sleeve 12. Under pressure, the sleeve 12 moves the clamping plate 13, disengaging it from the side wall of the unfolding plate 11, thus facilitating the cleaning of the waste inside the feces bag 4. During reinstallation, first bring the two sides of the unfolding plate 11 close together, then insert the bottom into the sleeve 12. The clamping plate 13 then secures the two sides of the unfolding plate 11 together. During this process, the clamping plate 13 applies force via the spring 14, ensuring a tighter grip on the bottom of the unfolding plate 11. This design not only achieves rapid cleaning of the waste inside the feces bag 4 but also ensures the sealing and stability of the feces bag 4 during use, improving ease of use and hygiene.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The anti-slip component includes a sponge-plastic ring 8, which is made of a composite material of sponge and plastic. The sponge is soft and provides a comfortable feel when in contact with the patient's skin, reducing pressure and friction on the perianal skin from the rectal cannula 2, and lowering the risk of pressure sores. The outer wall of the sponge-plastic ring 8 is set on the outer wall of the rectal cannula 2, and a connecting ring 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sponge-plastic ring 8. The connecting ring 7 is generally made of a plastic material with good toughness. PP material has good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, and can withstand the tensile force transmitted by the connecting strap 5, ensuring the stability of the connection. The connecting strap 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting ring 7. The connecting strap 5 can be made of nylon. Nylon has strong wear resistance, high strength, and is not easy to break, maintaining good performance during long-term use. A waist belt 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting strap 5. The main body of the waist belt 1 is made of sturdy and durable leather or high-strength fabric. The leather has a good texture, high strength, and durability; the high-strength fabric has good breathability, flexibility, and is not easily deformed. A flexible pad 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the waist belt 1. A second buckle 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the waist belt 1, and a first buckle 9 is fixedly connected to the other end of the waist belt 1. A fixing ring 15 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the anal tube 2. The fixing ring 15 is made of hard plastic, such as polycarbonate (PC). PC plastic has good impact resistance and dimensional stability, and can be firmly fitted to the outer wall of the anal tube 2, providing reliable support for the inflatable airbag 16. The inflatable airbag 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring 15. The inflatable airbag 16 is made of rubber. Rubber has good elasticity and sealing properties, and can be inflated through the connecting tube 17. The connecting tube 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the inflatable airbag 16. The outer wall of the connecting tube 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing ring 15. A flared tube 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting tube 17. The flared tube 18 is made of hard plastic. The shape of the horn tube 18 is designed to facilitate connection with an external inflation device. The barbed ring 19 and the retaining ring 20 on the inner wall are both made of plastic. The barbed ring 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the horn tube 18, and the retaining ring 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the horn tube 18. The outer wall of the retaining ring 20 is set on the side wall of the barbed ring 19.

[0036] Specifically, when using a wearable stool collector for bedridden patients, first, correctly put the connecting strap 5 on the patient, ensuring proper positioning. Next, pull the waist belt 1 to engage the second buckle 10 inside the first buckle 9, ensuring a secure hold. Then, lubricate one end of the incision tube 2 appropriately for smooth insertion. Gently insert the lubricated end of the incision tube 2 into the anus and adjust it to the appropriate position. During this process, the sponge plastic ring 8 not only provides support for the incision tube 2, but its outer sponge material also protects the anus and reduces discomfort. Next, insert the air pump's output tube into the inner wall of the horn tube 18 and secure it with the barbed ring 19 to ensure a stable connection. After inflation, drag the retaining ring 20 so that one side rests against the side wall of the barbed ring 19, allowing for easy removal of the output tube, achieving quick connection and disconnection. Throughout the process, the gas output from the air pump inflates the expansion bladder 16 through the connecting tube 17, effectively preventing stool leakage and ensuring the collector's sealing and safety. This design not only improves ease of use but also enhances patient comfort and hygiene.

[0037] Working principle: When using the wearable stool collector for bedridden patients, the connecting strap 5 is put on, and after determining the position, the waist belt 1 is pulled to insert the second buckle 10 into the first buckle 9. Then, one end of the anal tube 2 is lubricated, and then the other end of the anal tube 2 is inserted into the anus. After determining the position, the sponge plastic ring 8 supports the anal tube 2 on one side and protects the anus through the sponge on the outer wall of the sponge plastic ring 8 during use.

[0038] Then, the output tube of the air pump is inserted into the inner wall of the horn tube 18, and then the output tube is locked by the barbed ring 19. After inflation is complete, the retaining ring 20 is dragged to press one side against the side wall of the barbed ring 19, and then the output tube can be disassembled, achieving the effect of quick connection of the output tube. During this process, the gas output by the air pump inflates the inflatable air bag 16 through the connecting tube 17, causing the inflatable air bag 16 to expand and prevent fecal leakage.

[0039] Subsequently, feces flow into the feces bag 4 through the connecting hose 3. After a certain amount of waste accumulates inside the feces bag 4, the sleeve 12 is pulled. The sleeve 12, under force, moves the clamping plate 13 to detach it from the side wall of the unfolding plate 11, allowing the waste inside the feces bag 4 to be cleaned. During installation, first, the two sides of the unfolding plate 11 are brought close together. Then, the bottom is inserted into the sleeve 12. The clamping plate 13 then closes the two sides of the unfolding plate 11. During this process, the clamping plate 13 is again subjected to a force by the spring 14, which makes it better clamp the bottom of the unfolding plate 11, achieving the effect of quickly cleaning the waste inside the feces bag 4.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
