Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Use) The present invention relates to a urinalysis toilet equipped with a urinalysis device for analyzing components such as sugar and protein contained in urine.

(Prior art) A technique for detecting the content of sugar, protein, etc. in the urine by impregnating a test paper with urine collected in a toilet bowl and applying the test paper to a urinalysis device is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-59168. It is known by the number etc.

According to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-59168, values detected by a urinalysis device are input into a computer, and the values are stored and displayed on a printer or the like.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, in this technique, the toilet bowl and the urinalysis device are provided separately, so during analysis, the test strip impregnated with urine must be transported to the urine analyzer by some means and then attached to the urine analyzer. This work becomes troublesome. Therefore, it may be possible to integrate the urinalysis device and the toilet bowl, but in such a case, in order to perform data communication between the urinalysis device and the computer, a path cable or telephone line etc. must be installed between the toilet bowl and the computer. Therefore, the equipment cost etc. will be high.

Therefore, this invention was made to solve such conventional problems, and its purpose is to integrate the urinalysis device and the toilet bowl so that there is no need to carry test strips, etc., and the equipment cost is low. To provide a urinalysis toilet that can communicate with a computer.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a urine test toilet 1 equipped with a urine test device 8 that analyzes components such as sugar and protein contained in urine. data communication means 6 comprising a memory 23 for storing health data based on the data, a display means 24 for displaying the health data stored in the memory 23, and a modem 26 for transmitting the health data through a telephone line. , it is detachable from the urinalysis toilet bowl 1.

(Function) According to such a configuration, after performing a urine test using a toilet bowl,
The modem can be removed from the toilet bowl and communication with the computer can be made over any telephone line.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a urinalysis toilet according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a partially sectional side view of the toilet, Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same, Figs. 4 and 5 are urinalysis devices, and Fig. 6 is a urinalysis device. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing communication means.

A toilet seat 2 and a toilet lid 3 are provided on the front upper surface of the toilet bowl 1, an operating section 4 is provided on the negative side, a blood pressure monitor 5 and a communication means 6 are provided on the other side, and a cleaning device is provided at the rear. Water level changing device 10 that changes the water level in the tank 7, urinalysis device 8, and pole 9
A box section 11 containing the following is provided.

The urinalysis device 8 grips the test strip 13 inserted through the test strip insertion opening 12 and presses the urine warm portion 1 formed on the ball surface 9.
4 and a lifting mechanism 15 immersed in the
The sensor section 16 optically analyzes the discoloration of the test strip 13 soaked in urine.

The elevating mechanism 15 includes a driving motor 15a, a guide 15b inclined toward the urine warming section 14, and this guide 1.
5b, a lifting arm 15c that is raised and lowered by the motor 15a, and a test paper 13 provided at the tip of this arm.
a gripping device 15d, while the sensor section 1
Reference numeral 6 denotes a sensor main body 16a with a built-in optical sensor, a guide rail tab supporting the sensor main body lea, a drive motor 16c for moving the sensor main body 16a forward and backward along the guide rail 16b, and a sensor main body 16a after cleaning. It also includes a blower part lad for drying the sensor main body 16a.

According to the urinalysis toilet according to this embodiment with such a configuration,
With at least one condition that the test strip 13 is inserted through the test strip insertion opening 12 of the toilet bowl 1, a urine test is performed using a micro combinator (not shown) according to the following procedure.

(1) First, the water level changing device 10 is driven to lower the water level in the pole, and the urine warming portion 14 appears from below the water surface.

■Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the urine temperature detection sensor (not shown) detects urine, the elevating arm 15c is activated by the elevating mechanism 15.
is lowered to immerse the test strip 13 into the urine warming section 14.

■Furthermore, when urine is collected onto the test strip 13, the lifting arm 15c is raised and the sensor main body te is raised.
Move a forward and perform the inspection.

■When the inspection is completed, the elevating mechanism 15 is driven again to discard the paper, and if cleaning has been performed based on the user's operation, the water level change device 10 is then driven to return the water level inside the pole to the original. The water level is returned to the water level, and the urine warming section 14 is submerged below the water surface.

In this way, the urine testing toilet according to this embodiment performs a series of urine testing operations to obtain urine analysis data, and this data is stored in the memory 23 shown in FIG.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the communication means 6 according to the present invention, where 21 is a CPU as a main control unit, and 22 is a memory (R) that stores a predetermined program to start this CPU.
OM), 23 is a memory (ftAM) for storing the urine analysis data or health data to be described later, 24 is a display as a display means for displaying these data, 25 is an input/output circuit, 26 is a storage device, 27 is a modulation/demodulation circuit, 2
8 is an input/output terminal.

This communication means 6 transmits the analysis data obtained from the urine test toilet 1 to a central computer (for example, installed in a hospital management room) via a telephone line via a modem 26, and also transmits the analysis data obtained from the urine test toilet 1 to a central computer (for example, installed in a hospital management room). The health data statistically evaluated based on the analysis data is received again via the telephone line, and the input/output terminal 28 is equipped with an acoustic coupler or a connection terminal to the telephone line.

As shown in FIG. 7, this communication means 6 is provided with a detachable connector 18 between it and the urinalysis device 8, so that it can be attached to and detached from the toilet bowl 1, making it portable. Therefore, with this communication means, there is no need to install a cable or telephone line from the computer to the toilet, etc., and the user can carry this compact communication means 6 and use the telephone at a hospital etc. for statistical purposes. It is extremely convenient because it is possible to obtain general health data, and this data can be viewed as a table, figure, or graph on the display 24.

The communication means 6 may be registered, and each user of the urinalysis toilet may have one, or each person in a group may have one.

Further, the CPU 21 of the communication means 6 may be configured to also serve as the control computer 1 of the urinalysis apparatus 8.
