Description

  The present invention relates to a dirty logistics unit for a user wearing a colostomy or an artificial bladder to wash them.

  In recent years, so-called barrier-free has been promoted mainly in various public facilities and stations. Under these circumstances, a facility (multipurpose toilet) is installed that allows people who have an artificial anus or artificial bladder (hereinafter referred to as ostomate) to have a functional disorder in the rectum or bladder (hereinafter referred to as ostomate) to excrete without hesitation on the go. It is requested to do. For example, as an important element in a multi-purpose toilet suitable for use by ostomate, it is necessary to allow the excrement such as stool to flow smoothly, and the pouch for storing the stoma (excretion port built in the abdomen) and excrement Or, there are two points that the abdomen near the stoma can be washed with warm water.

  In order to meet these conditions, dedicated dirty logistics facilities are installed in the multipurpose toilet room separately from the toilet bowl. A conventional general waste logistics facility includes a wall-mounted or floor-standing bowl, a flush valve for flowing cleaning water into the bowl, and a faucet fitting provided at the upper part of the bowl portion. . The ostomate puts the waste collected in the pouch into the bowl and operates the flush valve to drain the waste, and then wash the pouch and stoma with the water flowing from the faucet fitting.

  Multipurpose toilets equipped with the above-mentioned dirty logistics facilities have a wide space and have not yet been sufficiently popular. For this reason, emphasis was placed on filthy logistics and installation itself, and there was still room for improvement in terms of sanitation and ease of use and maintenance.

  In order to solve such a problem, the filthy logistics unit described in the following Patent Document 1 is convenient for the user and easy to maintain and manage such as cleaning. Specifically, a cabinet having at least a front surface and an upper surface shielded, a bowl installed at the front surface of the cabinet and substantially in the center in the width direction, and a faucet fitting provided at the front surface of the cabinet and above the bowl Cleaning water supply means for supplying cleaning water to the bowl, which is disposed inside the cabinet and on either side of the faucet fitting installation position, and the faucet fitting inside the cabinet. And a hot water supply means for supplying hot water to the faucet fitting, which is disposed on the other of the left and right sides of the installation position.

JP 2004-283394 A

  When the user performs an operation to open the opening / closing valve of the faucet fitting, the warm water generated by the hot water supply means is discharged from the faucet fitting. As a result, the wearing device such as a stoma and a pouch and the user's own body can be cleaned cleanly using hot water in the bowl.

  Furthermore, since the hot water supply means is surrounded by a cabinet, the appearance is good, and the indoor atmosphere of a multipurpose toilet or the like in which this dirty logistics unit is installed is not impaired. Further, since the hot water supply means is hidden, it is difficult to be tampered with, and it is effective in preventing failure and breakage, and also effective in preventing accidents caused by, for example, the temperature of hot water being set abnormally high. In addition, when the user throws the waste into the bowl or when cleaning the fittings, even if a part of the waste is scattered outside the bowl, most of the waste adheres to the front of the cabinet and is easy to clean. It is.

  Furthermore, since the cleaning water supply means and the hot water supply means are disposed in the interior space of the cabinet in a well-balanced manner so as not to waste the space, the installation space can be reduced. As a result, the degree of freedom of installation is increased, and the space in the multipurpose toilet room in which this dirty logistics unit is installed can be used effectively. Moreover, it can avoid that a wheelchair user and its caregiver contact in the case of a movement.

As described above, the conventional dirty logistics is also easy to use within the intended range. However, if attention is paid to the cleaning of pouches and stoma by ostomate, the usability has not necessarily improved. In order for the ostomate to put the waste accumulated in the pouch into the bowl, it is necessary to approach the bowl, and the ostomate will wash the pouch in that state. In the conventional dirty logistics mentioned above, since the faucet fitting protrudes directly above the bowl, the pouch and faucet fitting overlap on the line of sight when they are close to the bowl, improving usability when cleaning. There was room to do. In addition, the above-mentioned conventional filthy logistics assumes that a part of the excrement is scattered outside the bowl when the user throws the excrement into the bowl or when the fitting is washed. There is room for improvement.
In order to provide such a filthy logistics unit that contributes to improved usability, the present inventors have devised the arrangement of spouts for discharging water, and have studied a slogistic logistics unit that can draw out the spout. Therefore, it has been found that there is a new problem that should be considered in terms of sanitation in the filthy logistics unit configured to draw out the spout.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and the purpose of the present invention is to make it easier to use and reduce the scattering of sewage when ostomate is used to wash pouches and stomas. The purpose is to provide a logistics unit that considers the surface.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a filth distribution unit according to the present invention is a filth distribution unit for a user wearing an artificial anus or an artificial bladder to wash them, and protrudes from the cabinet and the front of the cabinet. A spout provided on the front side of the cabinet and above the bowl, a handle for adjusting water discharge from the spout, and depending on the operation of the handle A faucet part having a temperature control mechanism for adjusting the temperature of the discharged water. The temperature control mechanism is provided inside the cabinet. The bowl portion has a water storage surface formed at the bottom for forming sealed water. The spout is configured to be able to be pulled out from the cabinet, and the tip thereof is provided so as to be positioned on the cabinet side with respect to the water storage surface when viewed from above. The spout has a tip portion provided with a spout and a hose portion constituting at least a portion between the tip portion and the temperature control mechanism, and the tip portion is pulled out from the cabinet. At this time, an interference suppressing means for suppressing the bending of the hose portion is provided so that the tip portion hanging down in the pulled-out state does not contact the inner surface of the bowl portion.

According to the present invention, the spout for discharging water and the handle for adjusting water such as temperature adjustment and flow rate adjustment are separated and arranged on the front surface of the cabinet, and the spout can be used by being pulled out of the cabinet. As a result, the hose connected to the spout and the spout itself are less likely to get in the way when cleaning the pouch. In addition , since the temperature control mechanism is arranged inside the cabinet, the appliances arranged on the front of the cabinet can be minimized, and they do not get in the way during operations such as pouch cleaning. .

  Furthermore, the cleaning operation of the pouch is often performed in the vicinity of the water storage surface in order to minimize the amount of sewage dripping during the cleaning from directly hitting the inner surface of the bowl and scattering. In the present invention, the spout is arranged on the cabinet side with respect to the reservoir surface in top view, and the water discharged from the spout is obliquely discharged to the user side, so the field of view of the area above the reservoir surface is Unobstructed by spout. Therefore, since the user can work while confirming the cleaning operation with certainty, the user-friendliness can be further improved, and the scattering of sewage and filth from the bowl can be reliably suppressed.

  Furthermore, in order to cope with the possibility that the tip part of the spout comes into contact with the inner surface of the bowl part by configuring the spout to be usable from the cabinet, when the tip part is pulled out from the cabinet, Interference suppression means for suppressing the bending of the hose portion is provided so that the tip portion suspended in the pulled-out state does not contact the inner surface of the bowl portion. By a simple and reliable means of suppressing the bending of the hose portion, it is possible to prevent the tip portion from contacting the bowl portion due to excessive bending of the hose portion.

  In the dirty logistics unit according to the present invention, it is also preferable that the interference suppression means has a guide mechanism that protrudes forward from the front surface of the cabinet and directs the hose portion in the protruding direction.

  In this preferred embodiment, a guide mechanism that projects forward from the front surface of the cabinet and directs the hose part in the projecting direction is provided, so that the length of the guide mechanism is adjusted to reliably suppress the bending of the boose part. The amount of suppression can also be adjusted. Therefore, it is possible to simply and reliably suppress the amount of bending when the hose is suspended while securing the amount of bending of the hose portion in normal use.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, when an ostomate wash | cleans a pouch and a stoma, while being able to use more easily and being able to suppress scattering of sewage, it can provide the filth distribution unit which considered the sanitary aspect more.

It is a schematic front view which shows the filth distribution unit which is embodiment of this invention. It is a schematic sectional drawing which shows the II cross section of FIG. It is a schematic sectional drawing which shows the state which pulled out the spout in FIG.

  A dirty logistics unit according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic front view showing a dirty logistics unit WU according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the waste distribution unit WU is a dirty distribution unit for a user wearing an artificial anus or artificial bladder to wash them, and is provided so as to protrude from the cabinet 1a and the front of the cabinet 1a. The bowl portion 2 and the faucet portion 3 are provided.

  The faucet part 3 has a spout 30 provided on the front surface of the cabinet 1 a and above the bowl part 2, and a handle 32 for adjusting water discharge from the spout 30. A bowl cleaning button 6 is provided on the front surface of the cabinet 1a. By pressing the bowl cleaning button 6, cleaning water is supplied to the inside of the bowl portion 2.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the temperature adjustment mechanism 34 of the faucet part 3 is provided inside the cabinet 1a. The temperature adjustment mechanism 34 is a part that adjusts the temperature of the discharged water according to the operation of the handle 32. The temperature control mechanism 34 is connected to a water supply pipe that supplies water and a water supply pipe that supplies hot water. Hot water is supplied from the electric water heater 4 to the temperature adjustment mechanism 34. The electric water heater 4 is provided inside the cabinet 1a.

  The bowl portion 2 has a water storage surface 2a that forms sealed water on the lower portion 2b side. The bowl portion 2 has a cabinet-side inner surface 2c that is erected from the lower portion 2b to the cabinet 1a side, and a user-side inner surface 2e that is erected from the lower portion 2b to the near side (user side). .

  The upper end portion 2d of the bowl portion 2 is attached so as to contact the cabinet 1a. The spout 30 protrudes from directly above the portion where the upper end 2d contacts the cabinet 1a. The cabinet side inner surface 2c is formed so as to swell forward from the upper end portion 2d to the lower portion 2b connected to the water storage surface 2a. Therefore, when the perpendicular is lowered from the water outlet 301 provided at the tip end portion 30a of the spout 30, it is arranged so as to hit the cabinet side inner surface 2c swelled forward.

  The cabinet-side inner surface 2c of the bowl part 2 is formed so that the inclination is steep on the lower part 2b side, and the inclination becomes gentler toward the upper end part 2d. When the vertical line is lowered from the water discharge port 301, it is configured so as to hit a gently inclined region on the upper end 2d side. In other words, when the momentum of the water discharge is weak, it is formed so that the water discharge hits a gently inclined region on the upper end 2d side, while when the momentum of the water discharge becomes relatively strong, a steep slope on the lower 2b side is formed. It is formed so that the water discharge hits the area.

  The spout 30 is configured so as to be able to be pulled out from the cabinet 1a with its tip portion 30a. The tip portion 30a is provided so as to be positioned closer to the cabinet 1a than the water storage surface 2a when viewed from above. When an extension line is drawn straight from the water outlet 301 provided at the tip portion 30a of the spout 30 along the water discharge direction, the extension line in the water discharge direction of the water discharged from the spout 30 is It is comprised so that it may cross | intersect the user side inner surface 2e.

  FIG. 3 shows a state where the tip portion 30a of the spout 30 is pulled out. As shown in FIG. 3, the spout 30 includes a tip portion 30 a provided with a water discharge port 301, and a hose portion 30 b constituting at least a part between the tip portion 30 a and the temperature adjustment mechanism 34. Yes. The hose portion 30b is made of a material having flexibility, and is configured so that the drawn tip portion 30a can be freely routed.

  In the present embodiment, when the tip portion 30a is pulled out from the cabinet 1a, the hose portion 30b is bent so that the tip portion 30a suspended in the pulled-out state does not come into contact with the cabinet-side inner surface 2c of the bowl portion 2. A guide mechanism 5 is provided as an interference suppression unit for suppressing the interference. The guide mechanism 5 is attached to the front surface of the cabinet 1a. The guide mechanism 5 has a base portion 5a that contacts the cabinet 1a and a guide portion 5b that protrudes forward from the base portion 5a.

  The base portion 5a has a surface along the front surface of the cabinet 1a and a surface inclined so as to have an elevation angle upward from the front surface of the cabinet 1a. The guide portion 5b is provided on the inclined surface, and is erected so as to be orthogonal to the inclined surface. Therefore, the guide portion 5b protrudes upward from the front surface of the cabinet 1a so as to have an elevation angle.

  The guide portion 5b is formed to have a cylindrical shape having an inner circumference slightly larger in diameter than the hose portion 30b. The guide portion 5b can be oriented according to the softness of the hose portion 30b by setting the length of the cylindrical shape short or long. Specifically, if the hose portion 30b is relatively soft and flexible, the guide portion 5b can be lengthened to prevent the tip portion 30a from coming into contact with the cabinet-side inner surface 2c. . On the other hand, if the hose portion 30b is relatively hard and flexible, the guide portion 5b can be shortened.

  As described above, the dirty logistics unit WU of this embodiment is a dirty logistics unit for a user (ostomate) wearing an artificial anus or an artificial bladder to wash them, from the cabinet 1a and the front of the cabinet 1a. A bowl part 2 provided so as to protrude, a faucet part 3, and an electric water heater 4 are provided. The faucet part 3 is a front surface of the cabinet 1 a and is provided above the bowl part 2, a handle 32 for adjusting water discharged from the spout 30, and an operation of the handle 32. And a temperature adjustment mechanism 34 for adjusting the temperature of the discharged water. The temperature control mechanism 34 and the electric water heater 4 are provided inside the cabinet 1a.

  The bowl portion 2 is formed such that a water storage surface 2a that forms sealed water is formed in the lower portion 2b, and a cabinet-side inner surface 2c swells forward from the upper end portion 2d to the lower portion 2b that is connected to the water storage surface 2a. The spout 30 is configured to be able to be pulled out from the cabinet 1a, and the tip end portion 30a is provided so as to be positioned closer to the cabinet 1a than the water storage surface 2a when viewed from above. An extension line in the water discharge direction of water discharged from the water discharge port 301 formed at the distal end portion 30 a of the spout 30 is configured to intersect the user-side inner surface 2 e of the bowl portion 2.

  As described above, the spout 30 for discharging water and the handle 32 for adjusting water such as temperature adjustment and flow rate adjustment are separated from each other and arranged on the front surface of the cabinet 1a, and the tip portion 30a of the spout 30 is pulled out from the cabinet 1a. Therefore, the hose portion 30b connected to the tip portion 30a of the spout 30 and the spout 30 itself are not easily disturbed during the cleaning operation of the pouch. Moreover, since the electric water heater 4 and the temperature control mechanism 34 are disposed inside the cabinet 1a, it is possible to minimize the instruments disposed on the front surface of the cabinet 1a, and to perform operations such as pouch cleaning. Sometimes they won't get in the way.

  Further, the cleaning operation of the pouch is often performed in the vicinity immediately above the water storage surface 2a in order to minimize the sewage dripping during the cleaning from directly hitting the inner surface of the bowl portion 2 and scattering. It is. In the present embodiment, the top end portion 30a of the spout 30 is arranged on the cabinet 1a side with respect to the water storage surface 2a in a top view, and the water discharged from the spout 301 formed in the front end portion 30a of the spout 30 is on the user side. Therefore, the spout 30 does not block the field of view of the upper area of the water storage surface 2a. Therefore, since the user can work while confirming the cleaning operation with certainty, the usability can be further improved, and the scattering of sewage and filth to the outside of the bowl portion 2 can be reliably suppressed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the spout 30 is not pulled out from the cabinet 1a, and the water discharged when the spout 30 is installed in the cabinet 1a is discharged obliquely forward, so that the discharged water collides with the cabinet-side inner surface 2c when the discharged water flow rate is small. There is a case. At this time, as the collision angle between the water discharge and the cabinet-side inner surface 2c with which it collides is closer to the vertical, the water that has collided may jump out of the bowl portion 2. Therefore, by forming the cabinet-side inner surface 2c so as to swell forward from the upper end 2d to the lower portion 2b connected to the water storage surface 2a, it has a gently convex shape, and reduces the collision angle with the inner surface of the water discharge. It is assumed that the water splash when the discharged water flow rate is small can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the cabinet-side inner surface 2c of the bowl portion 2 is formed such that the inclination is steep on the lower portion 2b side and becomes gentler toward the upper end portion 2d. On the side close to the water storage surface 2a, the speed of water discharged due to the influence of gravity is increasing, and the impact force at the time of collision is greater than when the collision occurs immediately after water discharge. Therefore, by making the inclination of the cabinet-side inner surface 2c of the bowl portion 2 on the side close to the water storage surface 2a, the collision force is reduced by keeping the cabinet-side inner surface 2c along the direction in which water discharge proceeds. Furthermore, the upper end 2d side close to the edge of the bowl portion 2 is configured such that the cabinet-side inner surface 2c is gently inclined to ensure a large washing area and to reduce the influence of water splashing reliably.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the configuration is such that the tip portion 30a of the spout 30 can be used by being pulled out of the cabinet 1a, thereby increasing the possibility that the tip portion 30a of the spout 30 contacts the inner surface of the bowl portion 2. Therefore, when the leading end portion 30a is pulled out from the cabinet 1a, the bending of the hose portion 30b is suppressed so that the leading end portion 30a hanging down in the pulled out state does not contact the cabinet side inner surface 2c of the bowl portion 2. A guide mechanism 5 is provided as interference suppression means. The guide mechanism 5 projects forward from the front surface of the cabinet 1a and directs the hose portion 30b in the projecting direction. As described above, by adjusting the length of the guide mechanism 5, the bending of the hose portion 30b can be reliably suppressed, and the suppression amount can also be adjusted. Therefore, it is possible to simply and reliably suppress the amount of bending when the hose portion 30b is suspended while ensuring the amount of bending of the hose portion 30b in normal use. Thus, it is possible to prevent the tip portion 30a from coming into contact with the bowl portion 2 due to excessive bending of the hose portion 30b by a simple and reliable means of suppressing the bending of the hose portion 30b.

  The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these specific examples. In other words, those specific examples that have been appropriately modified by those skilled in the art are also included in the scope of the present invention as long as they have the characteristics of the present invention. For example, the elements included in each of the specific examples described above and their arrangement, materials, conditions, shapes, sizes, and the like are not limited to those illustrated, but can be changed as appropriate. Moreover, each element with which each embodiment mentioned above is provided can be combined as long as technically possible, and the combination of these is also included in the scope of the present invention as long as it includes the features of the present invention.
