Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention can be used in hospitals, sanatoriums, research institutes, etc.
The present invention relates to a urine storage device used for urine tests.

[Prior art and its problems]

Conventional urine storage devices have been used in which urine storage containers are held horizontally in parallel inside the device so that the urine inside the containers can be drained; Urine remained inside the device, giving off a foul odor and being unhygienic. If urine is left inside the device, it will be difficult to remove the urine even if the inside of the device is cleaned, so it is necessary to clean the inside of the device every time urine is drained from the device. Each time, the urine storage container held in the device must be removed and cleaned by spraying water into the inside of the device using a hose or the like, which requires manpower and is not clean, and is time-consuming and inconvenient.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a plurality of urine storage containers having a downwardly discharging outlet to be held in parallel in the horizontal direction inside the main body having an opening at the front. An opening/closing mechanism is provided that opens and closes the discharge port by releasing the pressure and clamping pressure, and a fountain pipe is installed inside the body via a valve to enable cleaning of the inside of the body from which accumulated urine is discharged. A link mechanism for opening and closing the opening/closing mechanism of the discharge port and the valve of the fountain pipe is provided, and a locking mechanism is provided for holding the lever and keeping the opening/closing mechanism and the valve in the open or closed state.

[Effect]

This invention opens and closes the opening/closing mechanism of the urine storage container discharge port and the valve of the fountain pipe by operating the lever of the link mechanism arranged on the main body, and the opening/closing mechanism and the valve are opened or closed by the lock mechanism that holds the lever. When the opening/closing mechanism and the valve are in the closed state, the opening/closing mechanism pinches and closes the outlet of the urine storage container held inside the main body, and the valve closes to stop the water supply to the fountain pipe. In addition, when the opening/closing mechanism and the valve are in the open state, the outlet of the urine storage container that was closed by the opening/closing mechanism opens and discharges the collected urine into the main body, and the valve opens and the water is discharged from the fountain pipe to the main body. Washing water is sprayed inside.

2, a vertical link 74 attached below the slide body 72, and a foot-operated lever 76 that is pivotally supported by the rear support leg 14 and engaged with the vertical link 74 so as to project forward of the main body. . The two ends 78 of the V-shaped link 66 are connected to a shaft 50 provided on the inner frame 42 of the opening/closing mechanism 38 (see FIG. 4), and the vertical link 74 is provided with a projecting piece 80. A spring 82 is attached between the protruding piece 80 and a part of the main body 10 to pull up the vertical link 74 and the lever 76. The lever 76 includes
A hanging piece 84 is provided and is linked to a switch lever 86 for opening and closing the valve 56 (see FIG. 2). The V-shaped link 66 is supported by a support piece 87 provided at an angle on the side surface of the main body 10.
It is supported approximately at the center between the corner portion 67 and the end portion 76 of.

Reference numeral 88 denotes a locking mechanism for holding the lever 76 in a predetermined position, in which a hook-shaped locking piece 90 is pivotally supported by a protruding piece 91 provided near the lower end of the main body 10. An operating rod 93 that passes through the holding frame 92 of the cover 16 is connected, and a knob 94 is provided at the upper end of the operating rod 93.
Reference numeral 95 denotes a spring for pulling the operating rod 93 upward, and is attached from a part of the operating rod 93 to a part of the main body 10. The locking piece 90 is
When the lever 76 is positioned downward, the locking claw 96 of the locking piece 90 engages with the lever 76 to prevent the lever 76 from rising upward (see FIG. 9). Reference numeral 97 denotes a drain pipe penetrating the lowermost part of the inner case 12.

Next, the state of use of this embodiment will be explained. When storing urine in the urine storage container, as shown in FIG. (see figure). At this time, lever 7
A hanging piece 84 provided at 6 pushes down a switch lever 86 of the valve 56 to close the valve 56 and stop the supply of wash water from the water supply pipe 58 to the fountain pipe 52 via the pipe 54. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a vertical link 74 linked to a lever 76, a slide body 7

Using the point of contact between the V-shaped link 66 and the support piece 87 as a fulcrum 98, the corner 67 of the V-shaped link 66 is moved inside the main body, and the opposite end 78 is moved outside the main body. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the inner frame 42 of the opening/closing mechanism 38, which is engaged with the end 78 of the V-shaped link 66 by the shaft 50, is slid outward (toward the right in FIG. 5). The outlet 22 of the urine storage container 18 inserted into the opening 44 of the opening/closing mechanism 38 is clamped by the elastic pieces 46 and 48 provided on the outer frame 40 and inner frame 42 of the opening/closing mechanism 38, and the inside of the urine storage container 18 is compressed. This prevents urine from being discharged to the outside.

When draining the urine in the urine storage container 18 from the above state, push down the knob 94 of the locking mechanism 88 to release the engagement between the locking piece 90 and the lever 76, as shown by the chain line in FIG. do. This allows the second
As shown by the chain line in the figure, the lever 76 and the vertical link 74 are pulled up by the spring 82 attached to the vertical link 74 linked to the lever 76, and the slide body 72 and the horizontal link 68 are raised. As shown in FIG. 8, the horizontal link 68 allows the corner 67 of the V-shaped link 66 to
8 is moved outward of the main body 10 and the end portion 78 is moved inward. For this purpose, the opening/closing mechanism 38 is engaged with the end 78 of the V-shaped link 66 by the shaft 50.
The elastic pieces 46, 48 of the outer frame 40 and the inner frame 42, which clamp the discharge port 22 of the urine storage container 18, are slid inward (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5).
is opened to release the clamping pressure, and urine is discharged into the inner case 12 from the discharge port 22 (see FIG. 6). At this time, the lever 76 has been pulled upward as shown by the chain line in FIG. Washing water is supplied from the pipe 58 to the fountain pipe 52 via the pipe 54, and the washing water is injected into the inner case 12 from the fountain pipe 52 to clean the inside of the inner case 12. 97 to the outside.

Moreover, when cleaning other than the inside of the inner case 12, the pot 62 can be opened and cleaning can be sprayed from the hose 60 for cleaning.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above description, the present invention discharges the urine in the urine storage container with a simple lever operation, and at the same time injects washing water into the device from the fountain pipe, so that the urine is discharged from the container. Since the urine is immediately discharged outside the device along with the washing water and no urine remains inside the device, no foul odor is emitted during or after the urine is discharged, making it sanitary.

In addition, since urine discharge and washing water injection are always performed at the same time, there is no need to leave urine remaining inside the device.

Furthermore, there is no need to remove the urine storage container held in the device and clean the inside of the device with a hose, etc., and the inside of the device can be cleaned with a simple operation, making it convenient to drain urine cleanly. be.
