Of course, when the position fixation of the rod is released, the rod is raised by the elastic force of the spring, whereby the pad is also returned (raised) to the open position with respect to the outlet of the urine induction tube.

As described above, in the prior arts 1 and 2, since the configuration of the backflow prevention mechanism (130 of FIG. 1 and 140 of FIG. 2) is complicated, it takes a lot of cost to manufacture, and assembly, maintenance and repair work are difficult. In addition, there is a problem that hygiene is likely to deteriorate because it is difficult to thoroughly clean all the inside corners without disassembling the backflow prevention mechanism.

In the prior arts 1 and 2, since the backflow prevention mechanism (130 in FIG. 1, 140 in FIG. 2) includes a spring (133 in FIG. 1, 144 in FIG. 2) (Failure, performance deterioration, or the like) occurs in the pad (134 in FIG. 1, 143 in FIG. 2).

In the case of the prior art 2, since the manipulation of the user is required for the operation of the pad 143, there is a problem that it is troublesome to use it, and after the use, the outlet 121 of the urine induction pipe 120 is not closed The urine in the urine container 110 flows backward.

The upper portion of the urine inducing pipe 40 is provided with an inlet 42 through which urine flows and an outlet 44 through which the urine flows out is provided below the urine inducing pipe 40. The urine induction pipe 40 is formed such that the inlet 42 and the outlet 44 communicate with each other and the outlet 44 is located in the central region of the interior of the urine container 20. [ The outlet 44 may be smaller in size than the inlet 42 to position the outlet 44 in the central region of the interior of the urine container 20. [

The backflow prevention mechanism includes a guide (50) and an opening / closing valve (60).

The guide 50 includes a plurality of arms 54 for supporting the guide member 52 located at the central region of the outlet 44 and the guide member 52 to the inner wall of the urine guide tube 40 . The guide member (52) has a guide hole (522) penetrating in the vertical direction. According to the plurality of arms 54, since the outlet 44 is divided into a plurality of unit outlets, the position of the guide member 52 can be fixed without clogging the outlet 44.

The guide 50 further includes a guide rod 56 penetrating through the guide hole 522 of the guide member 52 so as to be movable in the vertical direction in accordance with the guide of the guide hole 522. The opening and closing valve 60 is provided at the lower end of the guide rod 56 which has passed through the guide hole 522 and moves together with the guide rod 56 and which opens or closes the outlet 44 62). When the valve body 62 is lowered and separated from the outlet 44, the outlet 44 of the urine induction tube 40 is opened. A stopper (stopper) for restricting the lowering distance of the guide rod 56 (the distance of the valve body 62 from the outlet 44) by the engaging action with the guide hole 522 side is provided at the upper end of the guide rod 56 , 562 are provided. For reference, the guide rod 56 and the valve body 62 may be integrally formed.

The sealing film 622 is provided along the outer circumference of the valve body 62 and has a tilted structure such that the tip end thereof faces downward. When the valve body 62 is moved to accommodate the valve housing space, the sealing film 622 contacts the sealing wall body 48 It is folded against the valve body 62 and is brought into close contact with the inner circumference of the sealing wall body 48 by its own elastic force.

Reference numeral 564 denotes a handle, and the guide rod 56 has a handle 564 protruding upward from the stopper 562. [

Reference numeral 70 denotes a tubular member which is disposed at an interval from the outer periphery of the guide member 52 and divides the outlet 44 inward and outward and is supported by a plurality of arms 54. [ The tubular member 70 and the guide member 52 are formed so that the lower surface thereof is flush with the contact plane 46 and is in contact with the upper surface of the valve body 62.

The portable urinal according to the embodiment of the present invention which is constructed as described above is configured such that the valve body 62 itself normally performs the guiding action of the guide member 52 and the guide rod 56 due to the weight of the valve body 62 itself and the weight of the weight 64, And is held in a lowered state by a predetermined distance in accordance with the stop action of the stopper 562 (see Fig. 3). The valve body 62 is spaced downwardly from the outlet 44 of the urine induction pipe 40 and is positioned in the open position relative to the outlet 44 so that the outlet 44 is kept open. The urine from the urine introducing tube 34 is stored inside the urine container 20 via the inlet 42 and the outlet 44 of the urine introducing tube 40. [

The portable urinal according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured such that when the level (height) of the urine stored in the urine container 20 is lower than the outlet 44 of the urine inducing tube 40 even if the urine container 20 is conducted, 20 do not flow back through the urine induction tube 40. [ At this time, depending on the amount of urine stored in the urine container 20, the valve body 62 is moved to the closed position with respect to the outlet 44 by the pressure of the urine, and the outlet 44 is closed. The portable urinal according to the example can reliably prevent the urine stored in the urine container 20 from flowing backward without any special operation.

A relatively large amount of urine is stored in the conductive urine container 20 so that the pressure of the urine applied to the valve body 62 becomes larger as the level of the urine becomes higher, And is moved more quickly to the closed position. Of course, the valve body 62 and the weight 64 are configured so as to have a weight, a volume, and the like that can facilitate the closing operation due to the pressure of the urine in the urine container 20 and the opening operation by the self weight.

The valve body 62 which has been moved to the closed position with respect to the outlet 44 is held in the valve accommodation space (space where the outer periphery is blocked by the sealing wall body 48) (Close contact) with the lower surface of the tubular member 52 and the lower surface of the tubular member 70 and the elastic sealing film 622 is brought into close contact with the inner circumference of the sealing wall body 48. Thus, the outlet 44 is tightly and precisely closed by the valve body 62.

When the container lid 30 is detached, the portable urinal according to the embodiment of the present invention has the guide 50, the on-off valve 60, the tubular member 70, and the like disposed inside the urine container 20, Because it is exposed as it is, it is possible to clean it every corner neatly even in this state. Since the urine induction pipe 40, the guide 50 and the tubular member 70 are separated together with the on-off valve 60 when the opening and closing valve 60 is lifted upward using the handle 564, Not only can the cleaning operation be performed, but also can be easily reassembled.

Although the present invention has been described in the foregoing, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited by the disclosed embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical idea of the present invention.

The technical ideas described in the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented independently of each other, or two or more of them may be implemented in combination with each other.
