PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small-sized urine flow meter capable of easily and accurately measuring a urine flow amount and urine flow speed.SOLUTION: Urine collected by a urine collection part 2 is made to be discharged to a urine flow passage 3 formed in a pipe passage body 4. On the pipe passage body 4 are provided an erected hand-held lever part 5 on one side of the body and a water wheel part 6 on the other side of the body in a form of interposing the urine collection part 2 at an interval in the longer direction of the pipe passage body 4 between the hand-held lever part and the water wheel part. The tip side of an upper blade part 8 of a plurality of blade parts 8 forming a water wheel 7 in the water wheel part 6 is disposed in the urine flow passage 3. The pipe passage body 4 has a form extending to an obliquely lower side with respect to a direction in which the hand-held lever part 5 is erected. The pipe passage body 4 is made to be held in an obliquely tilted state when the hand-held lever part 5 is held upward to direct the urine entry side of the urine collection part 2 to the side of a users urination organ and, in the directed state, the urine entry side of the urine collection part is disposed in the vicinity of the urination organ, the water wheel 7 is rotated by using urine flowing in the urine flow passage 3 in the pipe passage body 4, thereby making it possible to detect a urine flow amount on the basis of its rotation detection information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】尿流量や尿流速を容易に正確に計れる小型の尿流計を提供する。【解決手段】採尿部2で採尿される尿を管路体4に形成した尿流路3に流す。管路体4には、採尿部2を管路体4の長手方向に間隔を介して挟む態様で、その一方側に手持ちレバー部5を立設し、他方側には水車ユニット6を設ける。水車ユニット6内の水車7を形成する複数の羽根部8のうち上部の羽根部8の先端側を尿流路3内に配設する。管路体4は手持ちレバー部5の立設方向に対して斜め下側に伸長する態様とし、手持ちレバー部5が上向きに保持されて採尿部2の尿入口側が利用者の排尿器官側に向けられた状態で該排尿器官近傍に配置されたときに管路体4が斜めに傾けた状態で保持されるようにして、管路体4の尿流路3を流れる尿によって水車7を回転させ、その回転検出情報に基づき尿流量を検出できるようにする。【選択図】図1
