Abstract
A device/method for automatically positioning urine, which determines the position of the urine according to a temperature result scanned by a non-contact temperature sensor, and calculates point coordinates of the position of the urine in a toilet. The device/method includes one or more positioning assemblies with each having the sensor, a stepping motor, and a motor frame, with the sensor being fixed to a main shaft of the stepping motor, the stepping motor being fixed to the motor frame, and the motor frame configured to be fixed to the toilet. The device/method are configured for use with toilets so that the position of the urine is determined by temperature scanned by the sensor, and the urine sample is absorbed in the air as a health analysis sample, preventing cross-contamination between, urine samples absorbed from inner surfaces of the toilet and improving the accuracy of the health data analysis.
