The power supply machine is equipped with switches and function buttons to adjust the hot water temperature, flow rate, and air pressure. There is also a control function that automatically stops the bath in the event of an abnormality, and the bathing system uses appropriate hot water to safely wash the body, solving various problems in nursing care.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to an automatic bathing suit for nursing care, designed like a sleeping bag, using airtight, waterproof and durable materials. This suit is designed to envelop the user's entire body from the neck down, and has a connector for connecting a hose at the feet. When in use, the hose is connected to this connector, and hot water and air are introduced and exhausted, allowing for efficient washing and drying. In conventional suit-type structures, both arms and legs are contained within the one-piece body, which makes it difficult for the flow of hot water to stagnate, allowing the entire body to be washed efficiently. When the arms and legs are designed to be separate, issues include poor circulation of hot water and air, which results in uneven cleaning. In addition, this places a heavy burden on the pump, which affects the durability and cost of parts. To solve these problems, a bag-like structure that encases the entire body has been adopted, improving circulation efficiency and reducing the load on the pump. However, in this application, if the user's physique prevents sufficient circulation of hot water, a connector using the method already applied for by the user (Application No. 2024-3479) will be used on the upper part of the main suit. [Background technology]

[0002] Bathing care for bedridden people who need care is often done by other elderly people at home, and the caregiver's workload is heavy, making bathing difficult in many cases. For this reason, visiting bathing services are used. In addition, the shortage of caregivers has become a serious social problem. Furthermore, bathing is difficult in evacuation shelters after earthquakes and natural disasters, but this bag-type bathing suit takes up little space and allows people to wash their bodies with just a little hot water, making it a product that can contribute to the working and living environment. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] 1. 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 person who needs care. Compared to the conventional method (currently under application), by attaching a fastener to one central location on the main suit, both arms and legs can be easily put on and taken off, and the washing and drying of the main suit after use has also been improved, improving convenience for users and caregivers. This invention provides an "automatic nursing bathing suit" that allows users to experience the sensation of bathing while lying down, and it is a product that contributes to the living environment by reducing the amount of hot water required for washing the body and saving water by recycling wastewater. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] This product is designed to wash the body by attaching a hose connector to the base of the main body, and injecting hot water, air, and body shampoo from the hose between the suit and the body. The pump that supplies the water to the hose has the function of adjusting the temperature and flow rate of the hot water and the air pressure. It also uses a system with a control function that automatically stops the device if an abnormality occurs. Effect of the Invention

[0005] As mentioned above, unlike conventional washing methods, the "automatic body washing suit" of this invention does not require the assistance of a caregiver to perform the washing automatically. In addition, if an abnormality occurs during the operation, it is equipped with a control function that automatically detects it and returns it to a normal state. There is no need to move the person from the bed to take a bath, so this is an environmentally friendly invention that contributes to reducing the work of caregivers and improving care efficiency.

[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 main suit "FOUNTAIN" and seals the neck of the suit 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, circulating the hot water to warm the body with hot water and give the feeling of a bath. After that, body shampoo is automatically poured into the hot water in the hose and circulated to the whole body with air pressure to wash the body. 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 the hose. Next, new hot water is injected from another tank into the main suit to wash the whole body thoroughly. The hot water used for washing is returned to the original case. After that, the device automatically switches to hot air and sends hot air from the hose to dry the body. This hot air is mixed with disinfectants, deodorants, perfumes, etc. to care for the skin. Temperature and air pressure are monitored by a control panel, and various sensors ensure comfort. The machine is also equipped with an emergency stop function and other safety-conscious systems. The hot air is released to the outside through a filter in the main shirt. Finally, the user changes clothes, and the entire process is complete. EXAMPLES

[0008] The following describes the embodiment with reference to the attached drawings. ▲1▼ uses materials with excellent airtightness, waterproofness and durability, such as chloroprene and spandex. The joints are attached with adhesives with good adhesion, long service life and high temperature resistance, because needles and threads would cause water leakage. Furthermore, the automatic body-cleaning suit for parts ▲5▼▲7▼ is for nursing care where the person requiring care is unable to excrete on their own, and for hygienic reasons, the suit is made of a separate jacket and pants, avoiding the diaper part. If the person requiring care has weak skin, hot water is not poured directly onto the body, but a punched cloth with holes of about 5 to 10 mm is attached to the lining of the suit, and hot water is poured between this cloth and the main body. The neck opening ▲6▼ can be easily sealed by attaching a waterproof zipper with a water-stopping effect. This ensures that the suit fits according to the body type. ▲4▼ is a hose that circulates hot water throughout the body and a hose that sends out air. ▲13▼ is an air cushion used when washing the back part that touches the bed; the air changes the position of the bumps on the joint between the back and the floor to wash the entire body. The material is gentle so that it does not hurt the body of the person requiring care when it comes into contact with it. ▲14▼ is a housing with a built-in power supply device, and includes a pot for discharging hot water and soapy water after washing, as well as a pump. It is also equipped with casters for easy portability, and is designed to be lightweight and portable. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] The automatic nursing sleeping bag-style washing suit (hereafter referred to as the main body), which automatically washes the body of a person requiring care while lying down, is worn directly on bare skin, and multiple hoses are sewn into the main body. Hot water and air containing body shampoo are injected, automatically washing and rinsing the entire body in a short amount of time, and finally the body is dried with warm air that also has deodorizing, sterilizing and perfume effects.Furthermore, by incorporating an automatic control system for temperature and air pressure, and a filtration device for wastewater from the body wash, this automatic body washing suit has achieved labor savings.
