[Detailed description of the invention] "Purpose of the invention" (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a health assessment toilet that can perform urine tests.

(Conventional health assessment toilet and its problems) Figures 5 and 6 show conventional health assessment toilets (hereinafter referred to as conventional toilets).
The figure is a front view, and FIG. 6 is a side sectional view. In this conventional toilet bowl, only one urine collection recess 2 is formed in the vertical lower surface 1a of the toilet bowl 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a dripping nozzle 3 is provided vertically within the urine collection recess 2 for dripping a reagent into the urine collection recess 2 by an appropriate operating means (not shown). When a person urinates toward this conventional toilet bowl, a portion of the urine water remains in the urine collection recess 2 and is retained therein. Then, by operating the operating means, a reagent is dropped into the sampled urine water, and its color change reaction and the like are examined.

By the way, there are many types of urine tests performed using reagents, including tests for glucose content, protein content, pH value, occult blood, urine specific gravity, etc. However, as mentioned above, in the conventional toilet bowl, only one urine collection recess 2 is formed, and therefore only one type of test can be performed per urine collection, which is very inconvenient.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and is a new and convenient health assessment toilet (hereinafter referred to as
The purpose of the proposed toilet is to provide a toilet.

``Structure of the invention'' (Means for solving problems) The purpose of the toilet bowl of the present invention is that a plurality of urine collection recesses corresponding to the number of urine test items are provided in the toilet bowl, and each urine collection recess The reagent supply device is equipped with a reagent supply device for dropping each type of reagent, and the reagent supply device is provided with an operating mechanism that opens all the reagent supply sources with a single operation.

The most distinctive feature of this toilet bowl is the toilet bowl 4.
A reagent supply device 6 having a plurality of urine collection recesses 5, 5, ... and a unique operating mechanism 7.
It is equipped with the following.

As shown in FIG. 1, there are a total of seven urine collection recesses 5.
They are recessed in two rows, upper and lower, on the vertical lower surface 4a of the toilet bowl 4. And the array is
There are three in the upper row and four in the lower row. This arrangement takes advantage of the situation in which, when urine water flows down along the longitudinal lower surface 4a of the toilet bowl 4, it spreads out as it goes downwards, as shown by the two-dot chain line, and all of the water is spread out. The arrangement is such that a sufficient amount of sampling can be carried out in each of the urine collection recesses 5. The sample volume of each urine collection recess 5, 5, . . . is about 1 to 5 cc.

The reagent supply device 6 includes a main body 6a provided at the upper part of the toilet main body 10, and a top surface of the main body 6a.
7 reagent tanks pushed in an inverted shape 8, 8,
. . . and dripping nozzles 9, 9, .

3 and 4 show the main body 6 of the reagent supply device 6.
Fig. 3 is a side sectional view, and Fig. 4 is a side sectional view.
The figure is a schematic cross-sectional plan view. As shown in FIG. 4, seven drug delivery pumps 11, 11, ... are arranged in parallel inside the main body 6a of the reagent supply device 6, and the corresponding An operating mechanism 7 is provided that spans the inside and outside of the main body portion 6a.

As shown in FIG. 3, the drug delivery pump 11 includes:
A piston valve 11b is inserted into the cylinder 11a. The cylinder 11a has an inlet 12 formed on the upper surface near the rear thereof, which communicates with the reagent tank 8 via a one-way valve 14, and a one-way valve 15 and a drug feeding tube 20 on the rear end surface. An outlet 13 is formed which communicates with the drip nozzle 9 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) through the outlet.
The one-way valve 14 prevents the reagent that has once flowed from the reagent tank 8 into the drug delivery pump 11 from flowing backward, and the one-way valve 15 prevents the reagent that has once flowed out from the drug delivery tank 11 toward the dripping nozzle 9. This prevents backflow of reagents.

As shown in FIG. 4, the operating mechanism 7 includes spindles 11c, 11c, and
It consists of a connecting band plate 18 integrally connected to each other, and a push rod 19 extending the connecting band plate 18 to the outside of the main body 6a of the reagent supply device 6. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the piston valve 11b of the drug delivery pump 11 has a retaining ring 2 on its spindle 11c.
The bullet ring 16 which is prevented from falling off by the cylinder 11 is inserted through the bullet ring 16 and the cylinder 11
A spring 17 is interposed between a and a. In other words, by pushing the push rod 19, the connecting band plate 18 will push the spindles 11c, 11c, . . . of the entire drug delivery pumps 11, 11, .
Further, when the push rod 19 is released, the spindle 11c and the piston valve 11b of the medicine pump 11 are returned to their original states by the spring 17.

The reagent tank 8 is a supply source of reagents to be fed into the respective urine collection recesses 5, 5, . . . , and each reagent tank 8, 8, . Reagents are stored.

The usage situation of the toilet bowl of the present invention constructed in this way will be explained. First, he faces the toilet and urinates. As shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, urine water flows down into the urine collecting recesses 5, 5, .
After urinating, push the push rod 19 of the reagent supply device 6. By pushing the push rod 19, as shown in FIG.
Piston valve 11b comes to slide within la. Therefore, the various reagents that have originally flowed into the respective liquid feeding pumps 11, 11, . (See Figure 2). Therefore, in each of the urine collection recesses 5, 5, . . . , reagents corresponding to various urine tests are dripped into the sampled urine water, and the color change reaction and the like can be checked or recorded. When the push rod 19 in the operating mechanism 7 is released, the spring 17 causes the piston valve 11b of the drug pump 11 to be returned to the withdrawing direction with respect to the cylinder 11a. Therefore, the one-way valve 15 on the outflow side of the cylinder 11a is closed, and the one-way valve 14 on the inflow side is opened, and reagent is loaded from the reagent tank 8 into the cylinder 11a in preparation for the next urine test. will be done. After completing the urine test, if you wash the toilet bowl using a flush valve (not shown), the washing water will flow down the vertical lower surface 4a of the toilet bowl 4 and into each urine collection recess. The sample urine water in 5, 5, .

(Study of Alternative Embodiment) If a number or a reagent symbol is written on each of the urine collection recesses 5 and each of the reagent tanks 8, it is convenient to record the test results and avoid mistakes. Note that the number of urine collection recesses 5 is not limited;
If there are at least two, enough test data can be obtained to determine health. In addition, the manner in which the urine collection recesses 5 are arranged, the shape of the recesses, etc. are not limited in any way. Furthermore, the operating mechanism 7 in the reagent supply device 6 can be replaced with a solenoid valve or the like. Of course, the proposed toilet is not only intended for urinals, but may also be Japanese-style toilets, Western-style toilets, etc. In this way, the configuration and shape of the toilet bowl of the present invention can be changed as appropriate depending on the mode of implementation.

"Effects of the Invention" As is clear from the above explanation, the health assessment toilet according to the present invention allows various urine tests to be performed simultaneously from a single urine collection. Furthermore, during a urine test, reagents are dropped into all the urine collection recesses by a single operation, so the time required for waiting for the reagents to react can be shortened. In other words, while waiting for a reaction in one urine collection recess, reactions are progressing in other urine collection recesses, which has many excellent advantages, such as improving testing efficiency.
