Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an incontinence sensor in a diaper that detects and notifies the injured person of the diaper due to incontinence (urination and defecation) of the care recipient, and can further enhance the care of the care recipient. Further, the present invention relates to an incontinence sensor in a diaper that can reduce the labor burden on caregivers.

るものであった。As is well known, diapers are used for infants, the elderly,
Although it is used for people with severe disabilities, some elderly people with sclerosis and people with severe disabilities cannot express discomfort due to incontinence and accompanying wetting of diapers, The caregiver (nurse, caregiver) exchanges the diaper for such a caregiver at regular intervals regardless of the presence or absence of incontinence, or the caregiver puts his / her hand into the caregiver's diaper, It was done after confirming that the diaper got wet.

抗変化センサーを用いたものが考えられる。However, when changing diapers at regular intervals, the cared person must be incontinent and the discomfort when the diaper gets wet must be maintained until the time of the next diaper change. Even if they did not do this, it was uneconomical and inefficient because diapers were changed at regular intervals. or,
When a diaper is left wet, the environment with only a bad odor deteriorates. Therefore, in order to eliminate these problems, there is a means to detect the wetting of the diaper due to the incontinence of the care recipient and to notify the caregiver of this, and the caregiver replaces the diaper of the care recipient based on the notification. One possible means is to use a resistance change sensor that detects a change in electrical resistance according to the degree of wetting.

を必要とした。When a resistance change sensor is used as a means for detecting and notifying the wetting of the diaper, it is necessary to always energize the resistance change sensor in order to keep it in an operating state. That is, the sensor section is always in a live state, and when used in a diaper that is in close contact with the human body, there is a risk of electric shock, and since the resistance change sensor changes resistance depending on the degree of wetting, Depending on how much wetting is performed by the detection of wetting, it is possible that a small amount of incontinence may not detect the wetting of the diaper and may not be reported, which may cause discomfort to the cared person. Defects, cutting, etc. were likely to occur, and in terms of integrity and reliability, it was not practical. In addition, in the prior art, the electrodes are greatly corroded and a large number of connection tables are required.

る。According to the above technical means, in the incontinence sensor of the diaper of the present invention, the electrodes 1 and 2 made of a pair of different metals come into contact with the wetness (aqueous solution such as urine) of the diaper 5 due to the incontinence of the care receiver. As a result, a battery action (electrochemical reaction) between the metals forming the electrodes 1 and 2 made of the above-mentioned pair of different metals and an aqueous solution such as urine (due to the difference in ionization tendency of different metals between different metals). A potential difference is generated and a current is generated), and a potential difference is generated between a pair of electrodes 1 and 2 made of different metals, and a current flows. Then, this current is amplified by the current amplifying means 3, whereby the notifying means 4 is operated, and the wetness of the diaper 5 is detected and notified. Then, the caregiver replaces the wet diaper of the cared person based on the notification of the notification means 4, whereby uneconomical efficiency and inefficiency in the conventional case where the diaper is replaced at regular intervals, and further, Is capable of eliminating the discomfort of the cared person and reducing the labor load of the cared person. Moreover, the incontinence sensor in the diaper described above is such that the electrodes 1, 2 made of a pair of different metals are formed at the same time when the diaper gets wet. There is a potential difference between them and a current flows and is detected,
Since this is a notification, it is not necessary to energize the sensor to detect the wetness of the diaper and keep the sensor in a live state, and the wetness of the diaper can be detected reliably and safely.
