Analytical Toilet with a Pressure Sensor Mounting Fixture
An analytical toilet is disclosed, having a bowl for receiving excreta supported by a base. The toilet also includes a pressure sensor mounting fixture, which has: a chamber with an outlet. The chamber is in fluid communication with the contents of the bowl through the outlet. The pressure sensor mounting fixture also has a pressure sensor cavity above the chamber having an inlet in fluid communication with the chamber such that an air bubble is maintained in the pressure sensor cavity. A pressure sensor is included that is adapted to measure the pressure in the pressure sensor cavity. Also, a system is disclosed for measuring changes in the volume in a toilet bowl. The system includes a pressure sensor mounting fixture, having a chamber with an outlet. The chamber is in fluid communication with the contents of the bowl through the outlet. The pressure sensor mounting fixture also has a pressure sensor cavity above the chamber having an inlet in fluid communication with the chamber such that an air bubble is maintained in the pressure sensor cavity. A pressure sensor is included that is adapted to measure the pressure in the pressure sensor cavity.
