HUMAN WASTE DISPOSAL DEVICE

摘要

A human waste disposal device capable of reliably detecting urination and a bowel movement even if the user changes the orientation of their body. A diaper cup body has first detection means (14) for detecting the presence of feces and second detection means (15) for detecting the presence of urine. The first detection means (14) is a transmissive type optical sensor constructed from light emitting elements (50) and light receiving elements (51) arranged on the outer wall surface of the diaper cup body (1). A light receiving element receives a light signal emitted from a light emitting element. While a light receiving element is receiving a light signal, a light emitting element provided on the same outer wall as the light receiving element does not emit light. The second detection means (15) has a sensor terminal section composed of one or more pairs of sensor terminals (15a-15c) for detecting the presence of urine. A sensor control section sequentially measures the resistance between the sensor terminals to detect the presence of water containing salt. When a predetermined amount of urine is collected in a recess near the sensor terminal section, it is determined that there is urine.
