Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is applicable to flushing type urinals, Western-style urinals,
The present invention relates to the structure of a urine collector for collecting urine in a Japanese-style toilet.

[Conventional technology]

It has long been known in human physiology that lesions that occur in the kidneys and urinary tract, which are the organs that produce urine, cause changes in urine, and that metabolites from the entire body are excreted through urine. For this reason, urine tests are indispensable for diagnosing diseases, and various tests such as color, turbidity, specific gravity, protein, and sugar are commonly performed. In recent years, progress has been made to measure the changes in the amount of various components excreted into the urine to estimate the state of metabolism of substances in the body.

Therefore, various methods have been used to collect urine for urinalysis. As one of them,
Urinals have been developed that collect urine immediately after it leaves the human body. The present invention relates to a urine collection device structure for this type of toilet bowl. An example of the structure of a urine collection device in a conventional toilet bowl is shown in FIG. This urine collection device 2 has a tray 3 for receiving urine protruding toward the user (left side in the figure) at a portion of the inner surface 1a of the toilet bowl that faces the urine ejected from the human body (hereinafter referred to as "spurt urine"). The receiving tray 3 is communicated via a discharge passage 4 to a urine collection container 5 for testing placed outside the toilet main body. The squirted urine flows down the toilet bowl inner surface 1a, and a portion of it is received by the saucer 3. Further, a part of the squirted urine directly flows into the receiving tray 3. Then, the squirted urine flows down from the tray 3 through the discharge passage 4 to the urine collection container 5 and is stored therein. The excreted urine collected in the urine collection container 5 is subjected to the various urine tests described above by adding chemicals or the like.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the conventional urine collection device structure,
Since the tray 3 is formed to protrude from the inner surface 1a of the toilet bowl toward the user of the toilet, there is a drawback that the washing water does not flow down to the bottom side of the tray 3, and this part is not cleaned. Ta. As a result, dirt adheres to and grows in the area, producing an odor, which is not sanitary. It also looked bad.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been developed to improve and eliminate the above-mentioned problems of the conventional art, and to provide a urine collection device structure in which the inner surface of the toilet bowl and the urine collection area can also be cleaned automatically.

[Means for solving problems]

The means of the present invention for solving the above problems are as follows:
In a flush toilet, a 100 c. This is a urine collection device structure for a toilet bowl, characterized in that an inclined surface is formed on the upper side of the recessed portion to continuously slope from the inner surface of the toilet bowl.

[Effect]

As is clear from the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, recesses 1 formed on the inner surfaces 11a, 21a, and 31a of the toilet bowl
2, 22, and 32 receive urine directly or flow down from the inner surfaces 11a, 21a, and 31a of the toilet bowl, and store the urine therein. Then, it is subjected to a predetermined test by automatic testing or by adding reagents. The capacity of water stored in the recesses 12, 22, and 32 is small, 100 c.c. or less (usually 1 to 5 c.c.). Therefore, the urine 13 stored in the recesses 12, 22, 32
is automatically replaced with the washing water that flows into the recesses 12, 22, 32 through the toilet bowl inner surfaces 11a, 21a, 31a. Therefore, the recesses 12, 22,
There are no defects such as dirt adhering to and remaining on the 32.

The configuration of the present invention will be explained below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a urine collection device A of a first embodiment applied to a urinal 11. As shown in the figure, in this urine collection device A, a recess 12 is formed in a portion of the upright wall surface of the toilet bowl inner surface 11a that faces the spurted urine. The recess 12 is located on the inner surface 11a of the toilet bowl.
It does not protrude more toward the toilet user (left side in the figure), but rather protrudes from the inner surface 11a of the toilet bowl toward the rear side (right side in the figure). Further, this recess 12 has a surface 12a on its upper side that is continuous and gently sloped from the toilet bowl inner surface 11a, and a lower side that has a surface 12a that slopes gently from the toilet bowl inner surface 11a.
The bottom wall 1 is lower than the opening lower end surface 11b of 1a.
2b. Therefore, a water reservoir 14 is formed on the lower side of the recess 12, and the opening end surface 11b is equal to the height of the water reservoir surface. Therefore, this water storage part 1
The storage water capacity of 4, that is, the amount of urine 13 in the stored state shown in Figure 1, is a maximum of 100 c.c., and is usually set between 1 and 5 c.c., which is necessary for testing. There is.
Another reason for limiting the amount in this way is
This is because the amount of washing water that can flow into the recess 12 by one washing of the urinal 11 is approximately 500 to 1000 c.c., and it is necessary to wash away the collected urine 13 with the washing water. be. Of course, if the total discharge flow rate of the cleaning water is increased by continuously flowing the cleaning water, it is possible to set the reservoir water capacity beyond the above-mentioned range.

The squirted urine either flows into the recess 12 and is stored therein, or once collides with the toilet bowl inner surface 11a and flows down, and along the way, it travels along the slope 12a and is stored in the water reservoir 14. Collected urine 13
is subjected to a predetermined test in the same way as in the conventional case by adding reagents, etc.

After the inspection is completed, flush water is flushed and the inner surface 11a of the toilet bowl is cleaned in the same way as when the toilet is used normally. During this toilet bowl cleaning, the toilet bowl inner surface 11
The cleaning water flowing down a is transmitted to the slope 12a of the recess 12 on the way, and flows to the water reservoir 14 of the recess 12. Then, the stored urine 13 is sequentially pushed out to the inner surface 11a of the toilet bowl and replaced. In short, in this embodiment, the urine 13 stored in the water storage section 14 is washed away by the toilet flush water, and the inside of the recess 12 and the inner surface 11a of the toilet bowl are not soiled with urine. .

FIG. 2 shows a urine collection device B according to a second embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a Western-style toilet bowl 21. This urine collection device B has a concave portion 22 formed in a portion of the gently rising wall surface excluding the bottom surface of the toilet bowl inner surface 21a on the front side (right side in the figure) of the Western-style toilet bowl 21. Recess 2
