Abstract
Description
Toilet and urinary lower body system and toilet and urinary lower body included therein
[0001] The present invention relates to a toilet and urinary lower garment system and toilet and urinary lower garments included therein.
[0002] Most patients and elderly people in nursing homes have difficulty moving around, so for example, family members or caregivers often take care of the patient's bowel movements while the patient is lying in bed.
[0003] Specifically, family members or caregivers remove disposable diapers from patients when they urinate or defecate and replace them with new ones. This diaper change process occurs several times a day.
[0004] During the day, family members find it difficult to care for patients, so caregivers change patients' diapers. However, due to a shortage of caregivers, this is often not possible. Consequently, patients' hygiene may be poor.
[0005] Additionally, because separate diapers are used for poop and urine, a significant number of diapers are used each day. The sheer number of discarded diapers can contribute to environmental pollution.
[0006] The present invention provides a toilet seat system and toilet seat included therein.
[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a toilet and urinary lower garment system includes: an upper member into which a user's buttocks or a part of the buttocks and thighs are inserted; a lower member arranged on a lower surface of the upper member; a first support portion and a first expansion portion arranged in an internal space of the lower member; and a second support portion and a second expansion portion arranged on an outer side of the upper member. Here, the first expansion portion is arranged on the first support portion in the internal space of the lower member, or the first support portion is arranged on the first expansion portion, and when the first expansion portion is inflated or the expanded first expansion portion raises the user's buttocks or the buttocks and thighs, thereby forming a toilet and urinary space capable of receiving urine and feces; and the second expansion portion is arranged on or below the second support portion, and when the second expansion portion is inflated or the expanded second expansion portion raises the user's thighs.
[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a toilet and urinal lower garment comprises: a lower garment having an inner space in which a user's body is accommodated; a support portion and an expansion portion arranged in the inner space; and a body support portion arranged in the inner space. Here, the expansion portion is arranged on the support portion or the support portion is arranged on the expansion portion, and the expansion portion expands or the user's buttocks or the buttocks and thighs rise according to the expanded expansion portion to form a toilet and urinal space capable of receiving urine and feces; the body support portion is formed on an upper portion of the toilet and urinal space in a state in which it is connected to a portion of the lower garment, and a part of the user's body is supported by the body support portion so that a part of the user's body does not touch the floor of the toilet and urinal space.
[0009] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a urinary and fecal lower body system includes urinary and fecal lower body clothes placed on a bed, wherein the urinary and fecal lower body clothes include an inflatable part that raises the buttocks of the user to create a space for receiving urine and feces, and a discharge pipe that discharges urine and feces received in the space to the outside. Here, the discharge pipe is connected to a pipe formed from the floor to the ground through the bed, so that urine and feces received in the space are discharged to the outside through the discharge pipe and the pipe, and an opening and closing part is formed at an end of the discharge pipe or a part of the pipe, and when the urine and feces are discharged through the pipe, the opening and closing part is opened, but after the discharge of the urine and feces is completed, the opening and closing part is closed.
[0010]
[0011] The diaper according to the present invention can handle urine and feces multiple times and can be reused after washing, thereby reducing environmental pollution.
[0012] In addition, since the above-mentioned toilet pants lift the buttocks to form a space to receive urine and feces, the urine and feces received in the space can be minimized from touching the user's skin.
[0013] In addition, the above-mentioned toilet pants prevent the body from touching the floor of the toilet space through the body support member, and as a result, light reception for detecting toilet and urine can be smoothly performed.
[0014] Furthermore, the toilet seat system is implemented by inserting the lower part of the toilet seat into the space between the mats, while allowing the toilet seat to move within the space. Consequently, it can accommodate various user situations.
[0015] In addition, the user's posture can be changed by rotating the above-mentioned toilet pants on the bed, thereby preventing bedsores in the user.
[0016] In addition, when urine or feces is detected, a part of the bed rotates to raise the user's upper body, allowing the user to urinate or defecate comfortably.
[0017] Moreover, since the opening and closing part is closed after urine and feces are discharged through the discharge pipe formed by penetrating the bed and the toilet pipe formed underground from the floor, the smell may not rise upward through the pipe.

[0045]
[0046] The present invention relates to diapers for use in toilets for the elderly or patients (users), particularly for use in nursing hospitals, which can handle urine and feces multiple times, thereby resolving the inconvenience of frequent changing and facilitating the handling of urine and feces.
[0047] In one embodiment, the toilet pants create a space to receive urine and feces upon detecting the user's urine and feces, immediately dispose of the urine and feces received in the space, and clean any feces that may have accumulated on the user's buttocks. These toilet pants can be reused after washing.
[0048] In particular, the space is formed to minimize the contact of the received urine and feces with the user's skin, and is therefore hygienic.
[0049] In nursing homes, many patients and elderly people have difficulty moving around and defecate while lying in bed, and family members or caregivers change disposable diapers several times a day, which pollutes the environment.
[0050] Additionally, separate diapers for diapers used for poop and pee must be changed separately. Due to a shortage of caregivers, patients' diapers are not being changed frequently, resulting in poor hygiene.
[0051] To solve these problems, the present invention proposes a toilet seat that is hygienic and can handle multiple urination and defecation operations.
[0052]
[0053] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. However, for convenience of explanation, the user of the urinary and fecal lower garment will be assumed to be a patient.
[0054] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a patient lying on a bed, FIG. 2 is a drawing showing the concept of toilet and urinal lower garments according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a drawing showing the lower surface of toilet and urinal lower garments according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a drawing showing the upper surface of toilet and urinal lower garments according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are drawings showing the structure in which toilet and urinal lower garments according to an embodiment of the present invention are installed, FIG. 7 is a drawing showing the operation of rotating toilet and urinal lower garments according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a drawing schematically showing a part of toilet and urinal lower garments according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a drawing showing a support member according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10 is a drawing showing the operation of a first support part according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a drawing showing the operation of a second support part according to an embodiment of the present invention. However, for convenience of explanation, Fig. 8 shows only the back of the toilet pants.
[0055] The toilet-related lower garment of this embodiment is, for example, a lower garment worn by a patient lying in bed, as illustrated in Fig. 1, and capable of handling urine and feces multiple times. Here, the toilet-related lower garment can be used without restrictions on age, gender, etc. In other words, the toilet-related lower garment is not limited to diapers for the elderly, patients, or infants, but includes all lower garments capable of handling urine and feces.
[0056] Referring to FIG. 2, the toilet pants of the present embodiment may include a front (200a), a back (200b), and a connecting surface (200c, bottom) connecting the front (200a) and the back (200b).
[0057] The above-mentioned toilet pants may have a structure that is worn like pants, as illustrated in Fig. 4. Specifically, the toilet pants may have a structure that allows the user's buttocks or at least a portion of the buttocks and thighs to be inserted into the toilet pants, as illustrated in Fig. 4.
[0058] As another example, the above-mentioned toilet pants may be of an attachable type, such as an infant diaper. For example, although not shown in FIG. 2, a snap or zipper (locking device) that can be opened and closed may be formed on the left or right side of the front (200a).
[0059] Of course, the locking device can be formed on the rear (200b), but as described later, since the rear (200b) includes various components, it is more efficient to install it on the front (200a).
[0060] The rear (200b) includes a hip portion (210), a first thigh portion (212), and a second thigh portion (214), wherein the hip portion (210) may have first support portions (support members, 220a and 220b) that support the left and right hips.
[0061] The buttock supports (220a and 220b) support the left and right buttocks and lift the buttocks during urination and defecation, and may be pads, for example. In this case, the left and right buttocks are lifted by the buttock supports (220a and 220b), and as a result, a bowl-shaped space (excavated space) may be formed by the hip portion (210) and the connecting surface (200c).
[0062] In addition, when the thigh is lifted by the thigh support (222a or 222b), a space for urination and defecation can be formed by the hip portion (210), the connecting surface (200c), and the thigh portion (212 and 214) corresponding to the thigh support (222a or 222b).
[0063] The above-mentioned urinary and fecal space is a space for receiving urine and feces. Since the buttocks are raised by the first supporting members (220a and 220b), the urine and feces received within the space barely touch the patient's skin. In other words, contact between the patient's skin and the feces can be minimized, resulting in hygienic conditions.
[0064] In one embodiment, a first thigh support portion (222a) may be formed on the first thigh portion (212), and a second thigh support portion (222b) may be formed on the second thigh portion (214). In this case, not only is a bowl-shaped space better formed, but contaminated water resulting from urine, feces, and washing may not leak to the outside. Consequently, the bed or the patient may not become contaminated.
[0065] According to one embodiment, a waist support portion (224) may be additionally formed near the waist at the rear (200b).
[0066] The lumbar support (224) is also formed on the inner surface of the rear surface (200b) and can be inflated by air injected through an air injection tube (not shown). Consequently, as the lumbar support (224) adheres closely to the patient's lumbar region, urine, feces, and contaminated water can be prevented from leaking to the outside.
[0067] According to another embodiment, the buttocks support and thigh support may not be formed separately, but one first support (702) may be arranged inside the toilet pants as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.
[0068] Referring to FIG. 8, a first support portion (702) may be positioned on the inner side of the rear surface (200b) of the toilet pants, on the hip portion (210) or on a portion of the hip portion (210) and the thigh portion, and expansion portions (720, 722, and 724) may be arranged between the inner side and the first support portion (702). However, the expansion portions (722 and 724) may be positioned on the first support portion (702) or may be positioned on the lower portion of the outer side of the rear surface (200b) of the toilet pants.
[0069] The first support portion (702) may include a first-first support portion (710), a first-second support portion (712), a first-third support portion (714), a first connecting portion (800) connecting the first-first support portion (710) and the first-second support portion (712), and a second connecting portion (802) connecting the first-first support portion (710) and the first-third thigh support portion (714), as illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9. Of course, the first-first support portion (710), the first-second support portion (712), and the first-third support portion (714) may each exist as separate members without the connecting portions (800 and 802).
[0070] According to one embodiment, the first-first support portion (710), the first-second support portion (712), and the first-third support portion (714) have a height greater than the connecting portions (800 and 802), and a cleaning pipe or the like may be arranged across the connecting portions (800 and 802).
[0071] Referring to (A) and (B) of FIG. 10, the operation of the 1-1 support member (710) is examined. When air is injected into the expansion member (720) located between the 1-1 support member (710) and the inner surface of the toilet pants, the expansion member (720) expands, and as a result, the 1-1 support member (710) rises, lifting the buttocks.
[0072] Additionally, the first-second support member (712) or the first-third support member (714) may also rise in accordance with the expansion of the expansion member (722 or 724), resulting in the elevation of a portion of the thigh.
[0073] Depending on the movement of these expansion parts (720, 722 and 724), parts of the buttocks and thighs may rise, naturally forming a space for urination and defecation.
[0074] Meanwhile, the expansion parts (720, 722 and 724) may be positioned on top of the support parts (710, 712 and 714).
[0075] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the outer side of the urinal and toilet pants may include a second support member (1120) and an expansion member (1122) for elevating a portion of the thigh. When air is injected into the expansion member (1122) and the expansion member (1122) expands, the user's thigh can be elevated. Consequently, urine and feces can be better collected in the urinal and toilet space.
[0076] In particular, the expansion portion (1122) can be sequentially expanded from the center to the ends. As a result, the user's legs can gradually spread apart. Consequently, the user can urinate and defecate more naturally.
[0077] Looking further into the rear (200b), a discharge pipe (230), at least one washing pipe (234) and a drying pipe (240) can be formed in the rear (200b).
[0078] The discharge pipe (230) can be connected at one end to the collection unit (250) and at the other end to the rear (200b) via a connection portion (232), and can suck up urine, feces, and contaminated water depending on the operation of the pump. Here, the discharge pipe (230) can be detachably attached to the rear (200b) via the connection portion (232).
[0079] According to one embodiment, the discharge pipe (230) may be formed to correspond to the urine and feces space. Accordingly, urine and feces and contaminated water present in the space may be collected through the discharge pipe (230) to the collection unit (250).
[0080] In one embodiment, a urine sensor may be present inside the discharge pipe (230), and when the urine sensor detects urine, the collected urine may be automatically collected by the collection unit (250). For example, when the urine sensor detects urine, the collection unit (250) may automatically suck up and collect the urine.
[0081] A flow meter can be connected to the discharge pipe (230), and the amount of urine and feces discharged through the discharge pipe (230) can be detected through the flow meter.
[0082] According to one embodiment, a load sensor or the like is present at the bottom of the collection unit (250), and when the collection unit (250) is filled with urine or feces or contaminated water exceeding a preset value, the collection unit (250) can be automatically emptied or a manager can be notified.
[0083] Meanwhile, since the patient changes the toilet and urinary / fecal lower garment while lying on the bed, a hole may be formed in a portion of the bed, and the discharge pipe (230) may be connected to the collection unit (250) through the hole of the bed. Of course, the discharge pipe (230) may extend externally on the upper surface of the bed without a separate hole in the bed.
[0084] The collection unit (250) has no limitations as long as it can collect urine, feces, and contaminated water received in the space, and may include a suction means (not shown).
[0085] The washing pipe (234) can be connected at one end to the washing water unit (238) and at the other end to the rear (200b) through the corresponding connection unit (236), and can be detachably attached.
[0086] According to one embodiment, the washing tube (234) may be formed on the outer part of the toilet space in the rear (200b). This is because the washing tube (234) should not be blocked by urine or feces.
[0087] However, since the washing tube (234) must wash the feces, it can be formed toward the anus.
[0088] For example, the washing tube (234) may be arranged toward the anus from the left or right side of the anus and may be formed to be shaken by the water pressure ejected.
[0089] According to one embodiment, the washing pipe (234) may have a structure that discharges washing water in a straight line, or may have multiple nozzles formed so that the washing water is discharged in a widened manner. Here, the washing pipe (234) may be formed flat on the rear surface (200b) or may be formed to protrude from the rear surface (200b).
[0090] However, even if the washing pipe (234) protrudes, it is normally formed flat on the rear surface (200b) and may protrude from the rear surface (200b) during urination or defecation.
[0091] A flow meter can be connected to this washing pipe (234) to detect the amount of flow used. The weight of the stool can also be detected through the difference between the flow rate detected in this way and the amount of discharged water measured by the flow meter connected to the discharge pipe (230).
[0092] The washing water unit (238) may be a tank for storing washing water and may include a pump function so that the washing water can be ejected through the washing pipe (234). As another example, the washing water unit (238) may be supplied by being directly connected to a water pipe, and the washing pipe (234) may be detachably connected to the washing water unit (238).
[0093] According to one embodiment, the capacity of the washing water contained in the washing water unit (238) is automatically detected, and when it falls below a preset capacity, the washing water unit (238) may be automatically supplied and filled with washing water. For example, a load sensor placed below the washing water unit (238) measures the load of the washing water unit (238), and a control unit (not shown) detects the current washing water capacity of the washing water unit (238) based on the measurement result, and when the detection result shows that the washing water capacity is below a preset capacity, washing water may be supplied to the washing water unit (238). As a result, even if the manager does not separately manage the washing water unit (238), the washing water unit (238) may always secure sufficient washing water to discharge.
[0094] The drying pipe (240) can be connected at one end to a drying section (not shown) and at the other end to the rear (200b) through a connecting section (242), and can be detachably attached.
[0095] The above drying unit can dry the buttocks washed with washing water by discharging drying air through the drying pipe (240).
[0096] Meanwhile, the drying action can output a weak wind to the user's skin not only when the user (e.g., the patient) has urinated or defecated, but also during normal times when the user has not urinated or defecated. Since patients typically spend their time lying down, skin conditions such as bedsores can develop. Therefore, to prevent such skin conditions, a weak wind can be continuously output to the patient's skin. Here, the wind strength normally output may be weaker than the wind strength used to dry the skin after urination.
[0097] In another embodiment, a box containing a fecal discharge device (e.g., a vacuum pump) may be provided, and a fan may be installed in the box. In this case, the fecal discharge device may be connected to a discharge pipe (230) to suck up feces and urine during defecation and collect them in a collection unit (250). For example, a Y-shaped pipe may be connected to the discharge pipe (230), and one passage of the Y-shaped pipe may be used as a passage for discharging the feces and urine, while the other passage may be connected to the fecal discharge device.
[0098] In addition to the discharge of urine and feces, the fan will continue to rotate, and when the fan rotates, air inside the toilet and feces pants will be sucked in through the discharge pipe (230) and discharged to the outside through the fan of the box. In this case, outside air will naturally flow into the toilet and feces pants, thereby preventing skin diseases.
[0099] Even when the above-mentioned urine and feces are sucked through the discharge pipe (230), the fan may rotate, and the speed of the fan during urine and feces processing may be faster than the speed of the fan when urine and feces are not processed. As the fan rotates during urine and feces processing, the urine and feces sucked through the discharge pipe (230) are collected by the collection unit (250), and the sucked air may be discharged to the outside through the fan. That is, when urine and feces are not normally processed, the fan rotates slowly to discharge the air inside the urine and feces underwear to the outside, thereby preventing skin diseases, and when urine and feces are processed, the fan rotates quickly to quickly process urine and feces. Meanwhile, such a fan may not rotate at night.
[0100] According to another embodiment, a temperature sensor may be installed in the box or outside the box, and the temperature sensor may measure the temperature of the air discharged through the discharge pipe (230). The higher the temperature measured, the higher the rotation speed of the fan may be increased. That is, by measuring the temperature inside the urinal pants, the rotation speed of the fan may be increased when the temperature is high, and may be decreased when the temperature is low. Meanwhile, the rotation speed of the fan may be higher during urinal disposal than when the temperature is high under normal circumstances.
[0101] According to another embodiment, a hole may be present next to the fan of the box, and an opening / closing part may be present to open / close the hole. The opening / closing part may be closed except when handling urine or feces. For example, when handling urine or feces, the opening / closing part may be opened so that the air sucked in through the exhaust pipe (230) may be discharged to the outside. For example, if the hole is covered with a cloth, the cloth will be naturally lifted by the air, opening the hole. On the other hand, under normal circumstances, when the fan discharges the air of the urine or feces underwear to the outside through the exhaust pipe (230), the opening / closing part may close the hole. If the hole is open, the air drawn in through the hole by the fan will be discharged to the outside, so the hole may be closed to prevent this.
[0102] Meanwhile, using these fans eliminates the need for a separate drying airflow to the user's buttocks, etc. In other words, toilet pants using these fans do not require a separate drying pipe. This is because the fan performs both the drying function and the air circulation function to prevent skin diseases.
[0103] According to another embodiment, the collection unit (250) connected to the discharge pipe (230) of the excrement pants may be connected to the pump (e.g., a vacuum cleaner motor) or a box in which the pump is located via a pipe. Consequently, the excrement or contaminated water collected through the discharge pipe (230) is collected in the collection unit (250), and the air present in the collection unit (250) may be sucked in through the pipe by the pump and discharged to the outside via the pump or the fan. Of course, the pump will perform a suction operation to collect the excrement or contaminated water through the discharge pipe (230).
[0104] In summary, the toilet pants of the present invention form a toilet space that can receive urine and feces by using support parts and expansion parts, wash the anus using washing water during urination and defecation, collect urine and feces and washed waste (contaminated water) through a collection part (250), and dry the buttocks or anus wet by the washing water with a drying air.
[0105] Therefore, patients do not need to change their toiletry pants, no matter how many times they urinate or defecate each day. Even if they continue to use the pants for a day or several days, they can be washed and reused. Consequently, by not requiring frequent replacement of the patient's toiletry pants, family members and caregivers are less burdened and environmental pollution is reduced.
[0106] Meanwhile, if the amount of urine or feces collected in the collection unit exceeds a preset value, or if the amount of washing water in the washing unit falls below a preset value, an automatic notification may be provided to the administrator. For example, a red light may be illuminated on the device panel managed by the administrator. To this end, separate light-emitting means for the collection unit and light-emitting means for the washing unit may be present on the device panel.
[0107] Meanwhile, the urinary and fecal lower garment of the present invention may further include an elastic member (216) that can tighten the waist, a sensor (not shown) that detects urination and feces through moisture and gas generated during urination and feces, a light sensor that recognizes urination and feces through light, or a sensor that detects urine and feces by contact or weight when they are discharged.
[0108] The elastic portion (216) can reduce the patient's discomfort when the inside of the diaper inflates due to air injection. Meanwhile, the elastic portion (216) can also be formed on the thigh portion (214) of the diaper.
[0109] The sensor may be formed in the inner space of the urinary / excremental underwear, or on the inner surface of the urinary / excremental underwear. In other words, there are no location restrictions as long as the sensor detects urine or feces. However, it is most effective to form the sensor below the buttocks. This is to enable immediate detection of stool or gas coming out of the anus.
[0110] In one embodiment, when the sensor detects urine or feces, a portion of the bed can rotate toward the center, that is, the bed can be converted into an "L" shape or a similar shape to raise the upper body of the patient. This is because it is more comfortable to discharge urine or feces in a raised position than when lying down. To this end, a device controlling the bed and a toilet pants can be connected to each other through communication, and when a sensor inside the toilet pants detects urine or feces, a control unit connected to the sensor transmits the detection of urine or feces to the device controlling the bed, and the device controlling the bed can automatically rotate a portion of the bed according to the transmission. Of course, when the urine or feces processing is completed, a portion of the bed can rotate in the opposite direction to allow the patient to lie down.
[0111] In addition, the upper part of the urinal pants may have a number of raised protruding patterns or wrinkles formed, so that the contact area between the inner surface of the urinal pants and the patient's skin can be minimized and air can circulate naturally.
[0112] In addition, a plug may be attached to the connection part (236) connected to the washing pipe (234). This is to block the hole of the connection part (236) when the washing pipe (234) is separated from the toilet pants.
[0113] Furthermore, a massage function may be added to the upper part (corresponding to the waist) of the above-mentioned toilet pants. By repeatedly raising and lowering the patient's buttocks and thighs according to the air injection, a massage of the waist may be possible.
[0114] Additionally, a heating function may be added to the upper part (corresponding to the waist) of the above-mentioned toilet pants.
[0115] According to another embodiment, the discharge pipe, the washing pipe, and the drying pipe may be directly connected to the toilet pants as in the above embodiments, but may be connected to a pipe structure formed on the inner surface of the toilet pants.
[0116] For example, the tubular structure may be made of rigid plastic and may include at least one hole to which a discharge pipe, a washing pipe, or a drying pipe may be fixedly connected. That is, the discharge pipe, the washing pipe, or the drying pipe may be connected to the tubular structure without being directly connected to the toilet seat.
[0117] Of course, the pipe structure may have a structure that connects an external pipe that enters the lower part of the toilet and an internal pipe located on the inside.
[0118] That is, as long as the pipe structure can join the discharge pipe, the washing pipe, or the drying pipe, the joining structure and method can be modified in various ways.
[0119] According to another embodiment, the buttocks can be massaged by repeatedly expanding and contracting the inflatable part.
[0120] In another embodiment, a vibration element can be placed or attached above, below, or within the inflatable portion, and the vibration element can be operated several times a day to generate vibration. Consequently, the buttocks area, which is prone to developing bedsores, can be shaken, thereby preventing the development of bedsores while providing a massage function.
[0121]
[0122] Below, we will examine the actual installation structure and detailed internal structure of the above-mentioned toilet pants.
[0123] FIG. 12 is a drawing schematically illustrating a portion of a toilet and urinal lower garment according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 13 is a drawing schematically illustrating an upper surface of a floor plate according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is a drawing schematically illustrating a lower surface of the floor plate of FIG. 13. FIG. 15 is a drawing schematically illustrating a structure in which a first support part according to one embodiment of the present invention is placed on a floor plate, and FIG. 16 is a drawing schematically illustrating a portion of an upper member or a portion where an upper member and a lower member meet according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 17 and 18 are drawings schematically illustrating arrangements of a support part, a floor plate, and an installation structure according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 19 is a drawing conceptually illustrating a toilet and urinal lower garment according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 20 is a drawing schematically illustrating a structure in which toilet and urinal lower garments according to one embodiment of the present invention are inserted between mats.
[0124] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 12, the toilet pants of the present embodiment may include an upper member (300) and a lower member (302) separated by a space separation member. The space of the upper member (300) may accommodate the user's buttocks, etc., and the internal space of the lower member (302) may include a first support portion (702), an expansion portion, and a bottom plate (2106). At this time, the first expansion portion may be located at the bottom or top of the first support portion (702), and the bottom plate (2106) may be formed of plastic.
[0125] The above-mentioned space separation member can be detachably attached to the inside of the toilet-use pants. By implementing the space separation member in this detachable manner, after handling toilet waste, the space separation member can be detached, washed, and then reattached for use. In other words, the toilet-use pants can be kept clean simply by washing the space separation member.
[0126] According to one embodiment, the lower member (302) may have a smaller width than the upper member (300), and as shown in FIG. 5, a first mat (500) and a second mat (502) may be arranged longitudinally on the bed, and a space (510) may be formed between the mats (500 and 502).
[0127] At this time, support members (504) are arranged on both sides of the space (510), and as shown in FIG. 20, the lower member (302) is inserted into the space between the support members (504) so as not to be exposed to the outside, and the upper member (300) can be exposed above the mat (500 or 502). Here, the lower garment for urinating and defecating can be stably fixed by the support members (504) supporting the lower member (302).
[0128] However, the support parts (504) are not fixed but movable, and after the user removes the support parts (504), the toilet pants can be moved to a desired position and then re-fixed using the support parts (504). In other words, the toilet pants can be moved on the bed. This is because the patient's position may need to change depending on the situation.
[0129] Meanwhile, a system including the toilet seat, mats (500 and 502), and supports (504) may be referred to as a toilet seat system. In addition, the second support member (1120) and the expansion member (1122) may be arranged horizontally on the mat (500) as illustrated in FIG. 11.
[0130] In another embodiment, there may be three or more mats interconnected, and a lower member (302) may be inserted over an intermediate mat. In this case, the intermediate mat may be lower in height than the other mats, and a plate may be placed over the intermediate mat, and the lower member (302) may be placed over the plate.
[0131] In another embodiment, wheels are formed on the lower portion of the plate, and the plate can move naturally using the wheels. Consequently, the toilet seat can move naturally.
[0132] According to one embodiment, the toilet pants may include a cover (400) covering the front of the upper member (300) as illustrated in FIG. 4, and a cover fixing member (402) for fixing the cover (400). For example, the cover fixing member (402) may be a cloth bonded to the lower surface of the upper member (300), and the cover (400) may be fixed by bonding the end of the cover fixing member (402) and the cover (400) as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 6, for example, by bonding them magnetically. At this time, the cover (400) may cover a position corresponding to the lower member (302) to block internal components of the lower member (302) from being exposed to the outside.
[0133] According to one embodiment, the toilet seat may further include posture-changing parts (404) connected to the lower surface of the upper member (300) or the lower member (302), as illustrated in FIG. 6. For example, the posture-changing parts (404) may be connected to both sides of the lower surface of the upper member (300) and may be arranged on the lower side of the cover fixing part (402).
[0134] These position-changing parts (404) are intended to change the patient's position. For example, as illustrated in Fig. 7, by holding the left-side position-changing part (404) and connecting it to a bar formed at the right edge of the bed, the patient can lie on his or her side to the right. Changing the patient's position in this way can prevent bedsores.
[0135]
[0136] Below, we will examine the specific structure of the lower member (302) and its internal components.
[0137] Referring to FIGS. 12 to 19, in the internal space of the lower member (302), the first support member (702) and the expansion member may be sequentially arranged on the floor plate (2106). Here, the expansion member may be a single member, or there may be three expansion members (720, 722, and 724) as illustrated in FIG. 8.
[0138] In one embodiment, the floor plate (2106) may include a first sub-floor plate (2200) and a second sub-floor plate (2202) that are separated from each other, as illustrated in FIG. 13 . With the sub-floor plates (2200 and 2202) separated in this manner, the user can remain comfortable not only when lying down but also when sitting. While two sub-floor plates (2200 and 2202) have been described above, the floor plate may also be comprised of three or more sub-floor plates.
[0139] According to one embodiment, a vertical portion (2210) in the shape of the letter 'ㄷ' may be formed on the first sub-floor plate (2200), and a vertical portion (2212) in the shape of the letter 'ㄱ' may be formed on the second sub-floor plate (2202). At this time, facing portions of the vertical portions (2210 and 2212) may be arranged side by side. Consequently, a space (2230) may be formed by the vertical portions (2210 and 2212), as illustrated in FIG. 13. However, a hole (2240) may be formed in a portion of the space (2230) formed by the vertical portions (2210 and 2212). This hole (2240) corresponds to a passage for excreting urine and feces.
[0140] Under the structure of this floor plate (2106), a first support portion (702) in the shape of a 'ㄷ' can be placed on the floor plate (2106) as illustrated in FIG. 15. For example, the first support portion (702) can be arranged on the floor plate (2106) along the vertical portions (2210 and 2212) of the floor plate (2106) and on the outer side of the vertical portions (2210 and 2212). That is, the first support portion (702) can surround the vertical portions (2210 and 2212). Specifically, a portion of the first support portion (702) corresponding to the hip portion can be arranged on the second sub-floor plate (2202), and a portion corresponding to a part of the thigh portion, for example, an upper portion, can be arranged across the second sub-floor plate (2202) and the first sub-floor plate (2200).
[0141] The expansion member can be arranged on the first support member (702) while the first support member (702) is arranged on the floor plate (2106). Since the structure in which the first support member (702) and the expansion member are arranged on the floor plate (2106) is arranged on the lower member (302) and the user's buttocks or a part of the buttocks and thighs are arranged on the upper member (300), when the expansion member expands, the buttocks or thighs within the upper member (300) can rise. In this case, the floor plate (2106) and the first support member (702) will maintain their original state even when the expansion member expands.
[0142] Meanwhile, the toilet pants of the present embodiment can detect urine and feces using a light sensor. For this structure, as illustrated in FIG. 13, at least one light receiving portion (2204) is formed within a space (2230) formed in a vertical portion (2210) of the first sub-floor plate (2200), and as illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 16, the space separation member (2102) may include a transparent portion (2102a) and a connecting portion (2102b).
[0143] The transparent portion (2102a) of the space separation member (2102) can be positioned corresponding to the space (2230) formed in the vertical portions (2210 and 2212) of the floor plate (2106).
[0144] According to one embodiment, a light transmitting unit (2206) may be formed on a vertical portion (2210) of a first sub-floor plate (2200) as illustrated in FIGS. 13 and 18. As a result, light output from the light transmitting unit (2206) may pass through the transparent portion (2102a) to enter the first space (2150) and then be incident on the light receiving unit (2204) in the lower member (302) through the transparent portion (2102a). If feces are present on the transparent portion (2102a), the amount of light incident on the light receiving unit (2204) becomes smaller. In other words, it is possible to determine whether a user has excreted feces, the degree of looseness of the feces, etc. through the light sensor.
[0145] In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 15, the light receivers (2204) may be arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the first sub-floor plate (2200). By arranging the light receivers (2204) in this manner, the amount of feces can be roughly determined. In FIG. 15, if no or little light is received by three light receivers (2204), this may indicate a large amount of feces, and if little light is received by only one light receiver (2204), this may indicate a small amount of feces.
[0146] In another embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 12, an 'inverted T'-shaped installation structure (2108) may be arranged on the first sub-floor plate (2200) within the upper member (300). In this case, a light transmitting portion (dotted line portion) may be formed on the installation structure (2108). Consequently, light output from the light transmitting portion may be incident on the light receiving portion (2204) through the transparent portion (2102a).
[0147] Looking at the installation structure (2108) in detail, the installation structure (2108) may include a floor portion (2108a) and a support portion (2108b). Here, the floor portion (2108a) may be arranged on the first sub-floor plate (2200), and the support portion (2108b) may be arranged intersecting the floor portion (2108a), preferably perpendicularly.
[0148] According to one embodiment, a space (2140) that can accommodate a floor washing tube and a human body washing tube can be formed on the back of the support member (2108b), holes (2130, 2132) can be formed on the lower and upper sides of the front, at least one first nozzle (2110) can be formed on the bottom part (2108a), and a second nozzle (2112) can be exposed to the outside through the bottom part (2108a).
[0149] At this time, the first nozzles (2110) and the second nozzles (2112) can be respectively connected to the floor washing pipe inserted into the rear space (2140) of the support member (2108b). Consequently, when water is sprayed through the first nozzles (2110), the urine and feces move in the front direction, and when water is sprayed through the second nozzle (2112), the urine and feces move in the side direction.
[0150] According to one embodiment, a hole may be formed in a portion (dotted line in FIG. 16) of the transparent portion (2102a) of the space separation member (2102), and a hole (2400) may be formed through the first support portion (702) corresponding to the hole. This hole and the hole (2400) correspond to a hole (2240) formed in a portion of the space (2230) formed by the vertical portions (2210 and 2212). Consequently, urine and feces moved by the nozzles (2110 and 2112) may be discharged to the outside through the hole of the transparent portion (2102a), the hole (2400) of the first support portion (702), and the discharge pipe. Here, the discharge pipe may be connected to the urine and feces lower garment at a portion corresponding to the hole (2400) of the first support portion (702).
[0151] A first human body nozzle connected to a human body washing tube accommodated in a rear space (2140) of the support (2108b) may be formed in a hole (2130) formed on the lower side of the support (2108b), and a second human body nozzle connected to the human body washing tube may be formed in a hole (2132) formed on the upper side. The first human body nozzle may be used to wash the user's buttocks, and the second human body nozzle may be used to wash the genitals.
[0152] In one embodiment, the entire support portion (2108b) or the upper portion thereof may be made of a flexible material. This is to ensure that the support portion (2108b) remains stable regardless of the user's posture.
[0153] According to one embodiment, a light transmitting unit may be installed on the front surface of the support member (2108b), and for example, the light transmitting unit may be formed between the holes (2130 and 3132) as shown in the dotted line of FIG. 12. Light output from the light transmitting unit may be incident on the light receiving unit (2204) positioned on the first sub-floor plate (2200) through the transparent portion (2102a) of the space separation member (2102). In this case, the light transmitting unit (2206) formed on the vertical portion (2210) of the first sub-floor plate (2200) may not exist.
[0154] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 16, a metal body (2502) may be included in a transparent portion (2102a) of a space separation member (2102), for example, and a magnet may be formed on a bottom surface of a bottom plate (2106), for example, a first sub-bottom plate (2200), as illustrated in FIG. 14. As a result, the transparent portion (2102a) of the space separation member (2102) may be stably adhered to a space (2230) of the bottom plate (2106).
[0155] Of course, other methods besides the method using magnets can be used as long as the transparent portion (2102a) is stably attached to the base plate (2106). For example, a groove can be made in the base plate (2106) and at least a portion of the transparent portion (2102a) can be fitted therein, or the transparent portion (2102a) can be bonded to the base plate (216).
[0156] Meanwhile, although the above description describes the presence of a transparent portion (2102a) in the space separation member (2102), the transparent portion may not exist on the lower surface of the space separation member (2102). In this case, the discharge of urine or feces may be detected by another method, such as a load sensor, rather than using an optical sensor. Of course, a hole may be formed in the space separation member (2102) to utilize an optical sensor.
[0157] In addition, when a user wears the above-mentioned toilet pants, a part of the user's body, for example, a male's genital area, may touch the transparent portion (2102a), which may cause the light receiving portion (2204) to not function properly. Therefore, to solve this problem, the toilet pants may include a body support portion (3000) as illustrated in FIG. 19.
[0158] According to one embodiment, the body support member (3000) is transparent and can be arranged on top of the transparent portion (2102a) while being connected to the connecting portion (2102b) of the space separation member (2102), but the body support member (3000) and the transparent portion (2102a) can be spaced apart from each other. As a result, the body support member (3000) can support the urethra, etc., so that the urethra, etc., can not touch the transparent portion (2102a). In other words, the urethra, etc., can not touch the floor of the urinary and fecal space (3010) due to the body support member (3000).
[0159] At this time, holes (3002) may be formed in the middle of the body support member (3000). These holes (3002) are spaces for passing urine and feces. For example, the holes (3002) may be formed across the entire width direction of the transparent member (2102a).
[0160] Meanwhile, the body support member (3000) is not limited to the structure of Fig. 19 and can be modified in various ways as long as the urethra does not touch the floor of the urinary or fecal space (3010).
[0161]
[0162] Below, we will examine the process of handling urine and feces in the diaper of the present invention. Assume the patient is lying in bed.
[0163] First, after the patient wears the diaper, the discharge tube (230), the washing tube (234), and the drying tube (240) can be connected to the diaper. Of course, the discharge tube (230), the washing tube (234), and the drying tube (240) can also be connected to the diaper before the patient wears the diaper.
[0164] Next, the sensor detects the discharge of urine or feces through opacity, which blocks light by covering the sensor with moisture, gas, weight, or urine or feces accumulated.
[0165] Continuing, when urine or feces are discharged, the first support parts (220a and 220b) and the thigh support parts (222a and 222b) are raised by injecting air, so that the patient's buttocks and thighs are raised and a bowl-shaped space (A) can be formed by the hip part (210) and the connecting surface (200c). At this time, urine or feces are received in the space (A), so that the patient's skin contact with urine or feces is minimized.
[0166] Meanwhile, when the first support parts (220a and 220b) and the thigh support parts (222a and 222b) are lifted, the waist support part (224) can also be lifted together.
[0167] Next, when it is determined that excretion of urine and feces is complete, the washing water can be discharged to the anus through the washing tube (234).
[0168] Continuing, when the discharge of the washing water is completed, the wet anus can be dried by injecting drying air through the drying pipe (240).
[0169] Next, contaminated water from urine, feces, and the washing water is collected through a discharge pipe (230) to a collection unit (250). This collection process may be performed before drying or may be performed together with drying.
[0170] Continuing, upon completion of collection, the first supporting parts (220a and 220b), thigh supporting parts (222a and 222b), and waist supporting part (224) can be returned to their normal positions. That is, the first supporting parts (220a and 220b), thigh supporting parts (222a and 222b), and waist supporting part (224) that were raised can be lowered.
[0171] Next, the collected urine, feces and waste water can be disposed of in the collection unit (250).
[0172]
[0173] Fig. 21 is a schematic drawing of a diaper according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 22 is a drawing illustrating an expansion structure and a urine and feces discharge structure according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 23 is a drawing illustrating a concept of a urine and feces discharge structure according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 24 is a drawing illustrating a structure of an expansion unit according to another embodiment of the present invention. However, the same components as those in Figs. 2 to 19 will be designated by the same reference numerals and descriptions will be omitted.
[0174] Referring to FIG. 21, the lower garment (diaper) may additionally have a second discharge pipe (1200) and a wind blowing part (1202) in addition to the first discharge pipe (230) shown in FIG. 2.
[0175] The first discharge pipe (230) is connected to the rear center of the diaper, while the second discharge pipe (1200) can be connected to the outside in the direction of the expansion portion that raises the first support portion.
[0176] Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 22, the expansion member that elevates the first support member may include a first expansion member (1300), a second expansion member (1302), and a connecting member (1304).
[0177] Before air is injected, the expansion parts (1300 and 1302) are in an uninflated state as shown in (A) of FIG. 22, and when air is injected, they can be inflated as shown in (B) of FIG. 22.
[0178] According to one embodiment, the connecting portion (1304) has a width smaller than that of the expanding portion (1300 or 1302) and can be connected to the upper ends of the expanding portions (1300 and 1302). Consequently, when the expanding portions (1300 and 1302) expand, a discharge passage is created at the lower end of the connecting portion (1304). Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 23, the urine or contaminated water in the space where urine and feces are collected can be discharged not only through the first discharge pipe (230), but also through the discharge passage at the lower end of the connecting portion (1304) and the second discharge pipe (1200) to the outside.
[0179] In another embodiment, when the expansion member is positioned above the support member, a lower portion of the support member may be formed concave to form a discharge passage.
[0180] Although the structure in which air is injected from above is not illustrated, air is injected into one of the expansion units (1300 and 1302), and the injected air can be transmitted to the other expansion unit through the connection unit (1304). Consequently, when air is injected into one expansion unit (1300 or 1302), both expansion units (1300 and 1302) can be inflated. Of course, air can also be injected into each of the expansion units (1300 and 1302).
[0181] In the structure of Fig. 2, if a large amount of feces or contaminated water is generated, it is difficult to discharge them. Therefore, to smoothly discharge such feces or contaminated water, another discharge passage was formed at the bottom of the connecting portion (1304) of the expansion parts (1300 and 1302).
[0182] In another embodiment, the expansion member may have a "ㄷ" shape as illustrated in FIG. 24 to elevate the first support member. In this case, the connecting member (1404) may connect the first expansion member (1400) and the second expansion member (1402), and may be connected to the upper ends of the expansion members (1400 and 1402). Consequently, an exhaust passage may be formed through the lower end of the connecting member (1404).
[0183] According to another embodiment, a wind injection unit (1202) may be further included to blow wind so that feces or contaminated water can be discharged well through the discharge passage at the bottom of the connecting portion. That is, the wind injection unit (1202) may blow wind in the direction of the discharge passage so that feces or contaminated water can flow through the discharge passage at the bottom of the connecting portion.
[0184] In the case of elderly patients, they urinate or defecate dozens of times a day. Therefore, the structure of Fig. 2 requires spraying a large amount of washing water, which generates a large amount of contaminated water. Therefore, multiple pumps must be operated multiple times. Typically, multiple patients are admitted to a single hospital room, and the operation of these pumps can generate a lot of noise, which can cause discomfort to other patients. Therefore, by using quiet air to assist in the discharge of feces or contaminated water, the number of times or time that the pumps for spraying washing water or spraying urine or feces operate can be reduced, thereby reducing noise.
[0185] Depending on the situation, it may be possible to expel urine and feces using only wind without the use of a pump. In other words, natural fall can be utilized to expel urine and feces to the outside.
[0186] Meanwhile, without implementing a separate wind injection unit (1202), the direction of the drying pipe (240) can be changed so that the wind is blown in the direction of the exhaust passage after drying the buttocks, etc. through the drying pipe (240).
[0187] In another embodiment, a protective material such as vinyl may be arranged in the discharge passage at the bottom of the connecting portion to minimize contamination, dirt, or odor caused by the movement of urine, feces, or contaminated water.
[0188] Figures 25 and 26 are drawings illustrating a diaper according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0189] Referring to Fig. 25, the expansion parts (1600 and 1602) may have a structure in which the expansion parts (1600 and 1602) are spaced apart without a connection between them. In this case, when the expansion parts (1600 and 1602) expand, a discharge passage may be naturally formed, and the discharge passage and the discharge pipe may be connected so that urine, feces, or contaminated water may be discharged to the outside through the discharge passage and the discharge pipe.
[0190] Referring to FIG. 26, the expansion parts (1700 and 1702) may have a “ㄷ” shape, but may have a structure in which the expansion parts (1700 and 1702) are spaced apart without a connection between the expansion parts (1700 and 1702). Consequently, when the expansion parts (1700 and 1702) expand, an exhaust passage may be naturally formed between the expansion parts (1700 and 1702).
[0191] FIG. 27 is a drawing illustrating the structure and arrangement of a floor plate according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 28 is a drawing illustrating the structure and arrangement of a floor plate according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0192] The bottom plate (discharge assist part or auxiliary plate, 1900) may be arranged on the inner side of the back of the diaper, for example, near the groin, on the inner side of the first sub-diaper, the second sub-diaper, or the third sub-diaper. Of course, the bottom plate (1900) may also be arranged on the outside of the diaper.
[0193] The bottom plate (1900) may have flat upper and lower surfaces. Consequently, when the bottom plate (1900) is arranged, for example, on the inner surface of the back of the diaper, feces are stably accumulated, and urine and feces collected in the space can smoothly slide toward the discharge port. In other words, the bottom plate (1900) can assist in the smooth discharge of urine and feces toward the discharge port.
[0194] Additionally, the floor plate (1900) can maintain a stable space for collecting urine and feces. Typically, the patient lies in bed, and a blanket may be placed between the patient and the bed. In this case, the blanket may cause the diaper area, particularly the area where the space is formed, to bulge out, thereby reducing the space for collecting urine and feces.
[0195] On the other hand, if the bottom plate (1900) is present, the diaper portion corresponding to the space can always be kept flat regardless of the blanket, and as a result, sufficient space for catching urine and feces can be secured. However, for this function, the bottom plate (1900) needs to be stably fixed, and for this purpose, the bottom plate (1900) has a structure in which wings (1912 and 1914) are formed on both sides of the body (1910), and the wings (1912 and 1914) can be pressed by a support member or an expansion member. Of course, a part of the body (1910) may be pressed by the support member or the expansion member. In this case, the bottom plate (1900) is pressed by the patient's body weight, so that the bottom plate (1900) is not only stably fixed but also can be maintained horizontally with the floor. At this time, the body (1910) is positioned in the space between the side members (1932 and 1934) among the 'ㄷ' shaped support members, and the wings (1912 and 1914) can be pressed by the side members (1932 and 1934).
[0196] Meanwhile, the floor plate (1900) may be inserted between the support member and the expansion member.
[0197] According to another embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 28, a hole or a transparent portion (2000) may be formed in a portion of the bottom plate (1900), particularly in the portion where feces fall, and a transparent portion (2000) is preferable to a hole in terms of receiving feces. This is to detect feces. Specifically, a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion are arranged symmetrically with respect to the bottom plate (1900) inside the diaper, and light output from the light emitting portion can pass through the transparent portion (2000) of the bottom plate (1900) and be incident on the light receiving portion, and the light receiving portion can output the detection result to the outside. When feces are not excreted or urine is passed, the transparent portion (2000) remains transparent, but when feces are excreted, the transparent portion (2000) becomes opaque. Through this difference, it is possible to detect whether feces have been excreted. Of course, the transparent portion (2000) that has become opaque will become transparent again when washed.
[0198] Meanwhile, the remaining portion of the floor plate (1900) excluding the transparent portion (2000) may be opaque.
[0199] Meanwhile, a solar panel capable of generating electricity when the light-receiving portion detects light may be additionally formed inside the diaper.
[0200] Furthermore, while the floor plate is a single-piece structure, it can also be implemented as multiple separate sub-floors. These sub-floors can be arranged side by side. Using these separate sub-floors allows the sub-floors to naturally support the user's buttocks not only when lying on the bed but also when sitting.
[0201] Fig. 29 is a drawing showing the installation structure of a toilet seat according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0202] Referring to FIG. 29, mats (500 and 502), a support (504), and toilet pants can be arranged on a bed (2900).
[0203] A discharge pipe (2910) may be formed on the lower surface of the above-mentioned toilet pants. At this time, the discharge pipe (2910) may be arranged to penetrate the bed (2900) and be connected to a toilet pipe (2912) formed underground from the floor. Consequently, urine, feces, and contaminated water discharged by the user may be discharged to the toilet or the outside through the discharge pipe (2900) and the toilet pipe (2912).
[0204] In this case, since odor may rise through the toilet pipe (2912), an opening may be formed at the end of the discharge pipe (2910) or a portion of the toilet pipe (2912). For example, the opening may be made of silicone, and may open when urine or feces is discharged and automatically close after discharge is complete. Consequently, after closing, odor may not rise through the toilet pipe (2912). However, there are no restrictions on the type and structure of the opening.
[0205] Although not described above, the discharge pipe (2910) may be a highly elastic corrugated pipe.
[0206]
[0207] Meanwhile, the components of the aforementioned embodiments can be easily understood from a process perspective. That is, each component can be understood as a separate process. Furthermore, the processes of the aforementioned embodiments can be easily understood from the perspective of the device components.
