5a to 5c is an exemplary view of the appearance of a portable pager according to the present invention. The portable pager 5 may be configured to be mounted on a table or the like as shown in FIG. 5A or may be mounted on a table, or may be configured as a necklace that can be worn around the neck as shown in FIG. 5B. In addition, as shown in Figure 5c, it may be configured as a wrist watch type that can be worn like a wrist watch on the wrist. In the case of a watch type, the wear band 58 is fixed to both sides of the pager 50, and the end of the wear band 58 is attached to the end of the wear band 58 by attaching Velcro tape (aka; squeaker) 58a for easy attachment and detachment. do.

On the other hand, the urine detection unit 43 detects the energization level from the two urination detection lines 10 of two lines, when the electricity is generated between the urination detection lines 10 of the two lines by urine, compared with the basic voltage The level change is detected and the urine detection signal is output. At this time, by filtering the voltages of the two lines of the urination detection line 10 is input to distinguish the level itself can be detected by distinguishing the amount of urine, and distinguishing the case of a small amount of urine by the time to maintain a certain level or more. You can do it.

The method of checking a certain level separates the pattern of the urination detection line into detail, and can detect the urine volume when only the pattern farthest from the conductive clip is detected and when the second and the closest pattern is detected moisture. When all three patterns are detected, the urine volume is high.

In addition, when a small amount of urine is urinated, two lines of urination detection lines 10 are initially energized to detect signals above a certain level. However, when moisture is reduced by the absorption of the diaper 1, the amount of energization is reduced. It can be determined that the amount of urine is small since the level to be detected is lowered as it is reduced.

If the amount of urine is large, even when absorbed by the diaper 1, the time for which the energized current amount of the two urination detection lines 10 is maintained is long, and thus the time to be kept above a certain level becomes long, so that it can be determined that the amount of urine is large. Thus, by the configuration of the urine detector 43, it is possible to distinguish not only the urine detection but also the large and small amount of urine.

The distinction according to the amount of urine can be distinguished by the determination of the detection level and the time maintained at a predetermined level or more, and the signal according to the distinguished urine amount is transmitted to the pager 50 as a signal distinguished by the radio transmitter 45 and then to the pager. In (50), the LED or the buzzer is displayed with a signal distinguished according to the amount of urine, so that the caregiver can decide whether to replace the diaper immediately or leave it at the next detection.

In addition, the portable pager 50 determines the type of the signal transmitted by the transmission unit 40 and, when the urine volume is small, accumulates it by the number of times to change the display of the diaper so that the diaper replacement time can be accurately informed. That is, the control unit 52 detects a case where the amount of urine is small in the transmitting unit and transmits it, and distinguishes and displays the display differently, accumulates the number of times, and if there is a signal accumulated in the next urine detection signal, the LED is added thereto. The operation of the buzzer may be expressed differently to inform the diaper change time.

Therefore, according to the present invention, only the diaper 1 may be used for single use, and the urination detection line 10 and the gas sensor 20 may be separated and washed by using the conductive clip 30. In addition, the wearer may directly call by using the call button 42.
