Abstract:
The present invention relates to an automatic urine collection apparatus, which comprises: a urine collecting unit 10 for collecting urine from a user and spraying a cleansing water to a urination part; a housing 20 comprising a urine storage unit 21 for storing the urine collected from the urine collecting unit 10, a cleansing water storage unit 22 for storing the cleansing water used in the urine collecting unit 10, a driving unit 23 for moving the urine in the urine collecting unit 10 to the urine storage unit 21 and moving the cleansing water in the cleansing water storage unit 22 to the urine collecting unit 10, a control unit 24 for controlling an operation of the driving unit 23, a filtration unit 25, and a housing sensor unit including sensors for detecting a urine level of the urine storage unit 21, a cleansing water level of the cleansing water storage unit 22, and a temperature of the cleansing water; and an operational panel 30 for manipulating a control and checking a state of the control unit 24. The present apparatus allows a patient to urinate by himself/herself without help of a caregiver, allows a bedridden patient who is unable to wash the urination part by himself/herself to wash the urination part with the cleansing water after urination for sanitary purpose, relieves the mental and economic burdens by minimizing urinary tract infections, and prevents an offensive odor during use by equipping a deodorizing means for removing the offensive odor released through the air outlet of the urine storage unit in which the urine is stored.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a drop-type automatic excrement processing device configured so that the degree of restraint on the body of the objective person to whom the device is fitted is made less. The device comprises the following: a diaper cover 1 that covers the buttocks and loins of a objective person for use such as an aged person; a feces receiver 2 and a urine catching pad 3 which are fitted to the diaper cover 1; a feces and urine intake pipe 5 for receiving feces or urine discharged through the feces receiver 2 and guiding the received matter into a wastes container 4; a valve unit 6 interposed in the intermediate part of the intake pipe 5; a washing-water tank 7 for storing washing water for washing the buttocks and the like; a warm wind generating means 8 for generating a warm wind used for drying the buttocks and the like after washing; and a control means 9 for controlling the operation of each of the foregoing. The device is characterized in that a defecation tube 2b of the feces receiver 2 protruding from the diaper cover 1 projects below a bed 10 through a defecation hole 10h provided in the bed 10 and is connected to a funnel-shaped part 5a of the upper part of the feces and urine intake pipe 5 so as to be vertically movable and inclinable.
