Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a urine collection device that allows a physically handicapped person to urinate on a bed or while lying down.

In this urine collection device, the acid receiving part 1 is applied to a body part, and the lid 2 is closed.
A suction device (not shown) built in the lower part of the urination system is activated by a sensor at the same time as urine is urinated, and the urine is collected from the urine tank side connection port 5 via the hose 3 and the connection port 4. The urine collected in the urine tank 6 and the air introduced together with the urine are discharged from the suction device through the urine tank side connection port 5', the connection port 4', and the guide tube 7.

The present invention relates to a device in such a urine collection device that automatically notifies the user when the urine collected in the urine tank 6 reaches a certain amount.

A reed switch 10 is installed inside a lid 9 that closes the urine tank storage chamber 8, and a pair of reed switches are installed at a position corresponding to the reed switch 10 on the upper lid 11 of the urine tank 6 that can be freely stored in the urine tank storage chamber 8. The elastic support pieces 13 are provided to protrude downward so as to form a gap, and a protrusion 12 is formed on the outer side of the lower end of each elastic support piece 13, and a protrusion 15 that can be freely inserted into the gap between the elastic support pieces 13 is provided. A magnet 17 is built into the upper end of the protrusion 15 of the float 14, which has a retaining hole 16 into which the elastic support piece 13 can be freely inserted, and the elastic support piece 13 is inserted into the engagement hole 16. 14 is movable up and down, and the protrusion 12 prevents it from coming off.

Since the present invention has such a configuration, when a certain amount of urine accumulates in the urine tank 6 as described above, the liquid level rises and the projection 12 disengages, as shown in FIG. 3A. The float 14 rises, the magnet 17 approaches the reed switch 10 provided inside the lid 9, and the reed switch 10 is turned on.

When this is turned on, a buzzer sounds or a light is turned on to notify that the tank is full.

When the liquid level has not reached the fixed position, as shown in FIG. 3B, the magnet 17 integrated with the float 14 moves the reed switch
The reed switch 10 remains in the OFF state.

That is, the protrusion 12 and the engagement hole 16 are engaged, and the float 14 is maintained away from the liquid surface.

As described above, in the present invention, since the reed switch is installed on the lid 9 of the urine collection device body, the reed switch can be integrated into the control system of the suction device, and the device can be extremely simplified. Since the magnet 17 and float 14 are installed on the urine tank 6 side and are configured separately from the node switch, the urine tank can be easily put in and taken out and carried around, which is convenient for draining urine. Not only that, but it also has an excellent feature that allows you to easily clean the urine tank, which is particularly prone to getting dirty.

In addition, as mentioned above, the reed switch can be integrated into the control system of the suction device, so there is no need to use batteries, and the liquid level can always be detected reliably when the urine collection device is in use. This makes it safe for people with physical disabilities to use.

Furthermore, a major feature of the present invention is that the float is made vertically movable by inserting an elastic support piece into the retaining hole formed therein, and the protrusion prevents the float from coming off, making it easy to install and avoid dirt. In addition, since the float has a protruding part and is configured to be movable up and down within the space between the elastic support pieces, the float can be easily removed due to the size of the float. The height of the float can be increased, thereby ensuring reliable operation, and since the protrusion of the float is guided by the elastic support piece and moves up and down, wobbling is prevented, resulting in even more accurate operation. This means that we can expect
