[0002] Bedpans are specialized devices used in medical settings to assist patients with excretion. Their design prioritizes functionality, safety, and ease of use for medical staff, and they are commonly used by bedridden patients, post-operative recoveries, or individuals with limited mobility. In the treatment of bedridden patients, measuring the amount of excrement is a crucial step in the nursing care process.
[0003] However, existing bedpans designed for measuring the excrement of bedridden patients have the following problems during use: due to the lack of internal partitions and urine collection structures, they cannot effectively separate urine and feces during patient excretion, making accurate measurement difficult and hindering nursing record-keeping. Therefore, a corresponding technical solution needs to be designed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a bedpan that facilitates the measurement of excrement from bedridden patients. It solves the technical problem that the bedpan lacks a partition structure and a urine collection structure, which makes it difficult to separate urine and feces during patient excretion and thus hinders the measurement and operation of nursing records. This invention meets the needs of actual use.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a bedpan body, with a fixed partition located near the center of the bedpan body. A guide plate one is provided on one side of the fixed partition, and a guide plate two is provided on the opposite side of the fixed partition. A guide plate three is provided on the inner wall of the bedpan body near the guide plate two. An installation through hole is provided in the bedpan body between the guide plate two and the guide plate three. A folding urine cup is placed in the installation through hole.

[0017] 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.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a bedpan for facilitating the measurement of excrement by bedridden patients, comprising: a bedpan body 2, a fixed partition 7 disposed near the center of the interior of the bedpan body 2, a guide plate 1 disposed on one side of the fixed partition 7, a guide plate 2 6 disposed on the opposite side of the fixed partition 7 opposite to the guide plate 1 1, a guide plate 3 4 disposed on the inner wall of the bedpan body 2 near the guide plate 2 6, an installation through hole 5 disposed on the bedpan body 2 between the guide plate 2 6 and the guide plate 3 4, a folding urine cup 9 placed at the installation through hole 5, a retaining ring 3 disposed on the top of the folding urine cup 9, and two lifting blocks 8 symmetrically mounted on the top of the retaining ring 3.
[0019] Further improvements include an arc-shaped outer edge for the toilet bowl body 2 and a gradually narrowing shape at both ends of the toilet bowl body 2.
[0020] Further improvements include a vertical structure for the fixed partition 7, with the top of the fixed partition 7 being higher than that of the guide plate 1 and the guide plate 6, and both the guide plate 1 and the guide plate 6 having an inclined structure.
[0021] Further improvements include fixing the outer edge of guide plate 3 4 to the inner wall of toilet body 2. Guide plate 3 4 is inclined at the mounting through hole 5. A fixing strip 12 is connected to guide plate 1 1. Fixing plug strips 11 are connected to the fixing strip 12 via two connecting straps 10. A fixing plug groove 13 is provided on guide plate 1 1. Specifically, the fixing plug strip 11 can be inserted into the fixing plug groove 13. In actual use, disposable pads such as plastic bags can be placed in the space of guide plate 1 1 to prevent feces from directly contacting toilet body 2, making cleaning convenient and quick, and improving the ease of use.
[0022] Further improvements include a folding urine cup 9 with graduated lines. Specifically, when unfolded, the bottom of the folding urine cup 9 is flush with the bottom of the toilet bowl body 2. The mounting through hole 5 is located at the connecting post of guide plate 2 6 and guide plate 3 4, and there is a gap between it and the bottom of the toilet bowl body 2, which allows the folding urine cup 9 to be placed. The outer dimensions of the retaining ring 3 are the same as those of the mounting through hole 5, and the inner ring dimensions are the same as those of the folding urine cup 9.

[0024] In use: When a bedridden patient uses this invention, the bedpan body 2 is placed under the patient's buttocks, ensuring that the area of guide plate 1 is at the bottom of fecal matter and the area of guide plate 6 is at the bottom of urinary matter. When the patient urinates, the fixed partition 7 separates urine and feces, preventing them from mixing. The urine is collected by moving through guide plate 1, guide plate 6, and guide plate 4. Urine gradually falls into the folded urine cup 9 in the installation hole 5 through guide plate 2 and guide plate 3. After the patient finishes urinating, the folded urine cup 9 can be easily removed by lifting block 8 for convenient and quick urine measurement. Fecal matter can be measured directly from the bedpan body 2, improving the convenience of measurement.
[0025] The present invention comprises a guide plate 1-1, a bedpan body 2, a retaining ring 3, a guide plate 3-4, a mounting through hole 5, a guide plate 2-6, a fixing partition 7, a lifting block 8, a folding urine cup 9, a connecting strap 10, a fixing plug strip 11, a fixing strip 12, and a fixing plug groove 13. All components are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. The problem solved by this invention is that the bedpan lacks a partition structure and a urine collection structure, which hinders the patient's excretion... The inability to properly separate urine and feces, and the resulting difficulty in accurate measurement, hinders nursing record-keeping. This invention addresses this problem by combining the aforementioned components: a folding urine cup, a fixed partition, guide plate one, and guide plate two. These components effectively separate the space within the bedpan, facilitating urine and feces separation during urination and subsequent measurement. Urine is guided through guide plate two and guide plate three into the folding urine cup, allowing for convenient removal after urination, thus improving measurement convenience.
