Automatic body-cleaning suit

Abstract

To provide an automatic body washing suit that enables a bedridden person requiring care to take a bath while lying down. [Solution] Six hoses 10-2 to 10-7 (including hoses for the pants) are attached to the water-resistant suit body, and air, hot water, and body shampoo are injected into the body through these hoses and circulated throughout the body for cleaning. The power control panel 12 (cordless version also available) is equipped with switches and function buttons for adjusting the hot water temperature, flow rate, and air pressure. In addition, there is a control function that automatically stops the device if an abnormality occurs, and by adopting a system that can safely clean with the appropriate amount of hot water, the above-mentioned problems can be solved.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention is a one-size-fits-all suit made of highly elastic, flexible, airtight and waterproof material, which can accommodate people of different body sizes, and has a hose sewn into it, giving it the function of washing the body with hot water and air pressure discharged from the hose. [Background technology]

[0002] Bathing care for bedridden people who need care is often provided by other elderly people at home, and the burden on the caregiver is so heavy that bathing is often difficult. For this reason, visiting bathing services are used, and in nursing homes, several caregivers provide mechanical bathing. In addition, the shortage of caregivers is becoming a serious social problem. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] As mentioned above, bathing care for bedridden people who need care places a large financial and human burden, and also places a physical burden on the care recipient themselves. If it were possible to take a bath while lying down, it would reduce the labor shortage and the time and labor burden. Therefore, this invention aims to solve these problems by providing an automatic body washing suit that allows bedridden people who need care to feel like they are taking a bath while lying down. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] In this device, a hose is sewn into the water-resistant body, and air, hot water, and body shampoo are injected into the body through the hose, which circulates throughout the body for cleaning. The hose is equipped with a function to adjust the temperature, flow rate, and air pressure of the hot water. In addition, a control system is used that has a control function that automatically stops the device if an abnormality occurs, allowing for safe cleaning with the appropriate amount of hot water. This aims to solve the problems mentioned above. Effect of the Invention

[0005] As mentioned above, unlike conventional washing methods, the "automatic body washing suit" of this invention performs washing automatically, so no assistance from a caregiver is required. In addition, if an abnormality occurs during operation, it is automatically detected and a control function is provided to return it to normal. There is no need to move from the bed to take a bath, which contributes to reducing the number of caregivers and hard work, and furthermore saves hot water, making this an environmentally friendly invention.

[0007] After checking the temperature of the hot water and the air pressure with the power control panel, the person in need of care wears the automatic body washing suit, and the ends of the main body are sealed with an adjustable waterproof band to ensure airtightness. Next, the switch on the power control panel is turned on to inject hot water and air into the hose, and the hot water is circulated to warm the body by soaking it in the hot water. After that, the hot water mixed with the bubble-generating shampoo is automatically circulated to the whole body by air pressure to wash it. During washing, the temperature and water pressure of the hot water are monitored by a sensor. After washing, the shampoo liquid is purified by a filtration device and reused as rinsing water. After rinsing, the used hot water is transferred to an external tank through a hose. Next, new hot water is injected from another tank into the main suit to finish cleaning the whole body. After that, the system automatically switches to hot air, and hot air is sent from the hose to dry the body. This hot air is mixed with disinfectants, perfumes, deodorants, etc. to care for the skin. Temperature and air pressure are monitored by a control panel, and various sensors ensure comfort, and the machine is also equipped with a system that prioritizes safety, such as an emergency stop function. Warm air is released to the outside through a filter in the main shirt, maintaining a comfortable environment. Finally, the user changes clothes, and the entire process is completed. EXAMPLES

[0008] The following describes the embodiment with reference to the attached drawings. ▲1▼▲2▼ use materials such as neoprene and spandex that are very stretchy, flexible, and have excellent airtightness and waterproofness. One size fits all, and can accommodate people of different body types. Furthermore, the automatic body-cleaning suits for parts ▲2▼ and ▲2▼-2 are for people who cannot take care of themselves, and for hygienic reasons, use suits with separate tops and bottoms and pants. ▲3▼ is for people who have sensitive skin, and instead of pouring hot water directly onto the body, a punched cloth with holes of about 5 to 10 mm is attached to the lining of the suit. Hot water is poured onto the body through these holes. The joints and openings of ▲4▼ to ▲8▼ can be easily sealed by attaching stretchy water-resistant zippers. This allows the suit to stretch according to the body type, ensuring a good fit. For the hose joint ports of ▲9▼ to ▲9▼-8, a hose with a diameter of 5 to 10 mm is sewn from the outside to the inside of the main suit. It functions as an inlet and outlet for hot water, air, and foam shampoo, and for draining hot water and warm air. ▲10▼~▲10▼-7 are hoses for supplying air and hot water to circulate hot water throughout the body. ▲11▼ and ▲11▼-2 are cushions used when washing the back part that is in contact with the bed, and the position of the bumps is changed by air to assist in the washing. The material is gentle so that it does not hurt the body of the person requiring care. ▲12▼ is the power control panel. ▲13▼ is a pot for holding hot water, hot water for draining the soapy water after washing, and hot water for rinsing the body at the end, and has a temperature adjustment function. ▲14▼ is an ultra-compact compressor that supplies air and is easy to carry. ▲15▼ is an ultra-compact DC pump for supplying and draining hot water.
