Then, utilize the formation of Figure 22 counter race 5005 to describe.The main composition parts of seat ring 5005 are: freely planar seat ring heater 5012 of freely soft sheet skin material 5011 of the distortion that coincide with user's buttocks, flexural deformation, the elastomer layer 5013 that is made of rubber-like soft resin material, the reinforcement material 5014 that is made of the hard resin profiled member, the seat ring lower member 5015 that is made of the hard resin profiled member.Described planar seat ring heater 5012 is configured in the part near skin material 5011 on elastomer layer 5013 tops.
Reinforcement material 5014 and seat ring lower member 5015 are twisted by screw 5016 and are closed, and reinforcement material 5014 forms flat shape portion 5017 with stubborn solid screw with middle body, and both sides are formed protuberance 5018 respectively to improve intensity.And on end 5019, be provided with pawl along its length at certain intervals, with chimeric with the end of seat ring lower member 5015.。
In the present embodiment, skin material 5011 uses the PP film, and elastomer layer 5013 uses high rebound foaming polyurethane.Skin material 5011 is made of the film below the 0.3mm, so long as have resistance to chemical reagents and the little character of thermal capacity, the then film that can use other material to make.
Elastomer layer 5013 uses polyurathamcs, and the separated foam structure that mainly adopts air entrapment to link to each other is eliminated the turnover of gas, has the resiliency based on air, but so long as have the material of suitable resiliency, then also can be the continuous air bubbles structure.In addition, elastomer layer 5013 covers forming of reinforcement material 5014 on every side, and buttocks can directly not contact reinforcement material 5014 yet when taking one's seat.
By elastomer layer 5013 is set on seat ring 5005, supposes that seat ring 5005 whole rigidity are not enough and can not reinforcement material 5014 be set supporting weight.Usually, the open surface that present seat ring all forms U-shaped and U-shaped part that will be up and down and inverted U-shaped part up and down by resin component element up and down lumps together and one constitutes, with supporting weight, but in the present embodiment, because the member of formation on top is the elastomer layer 5013 that is made of soft resin, so, constitute structure by seat ring lower member 5015 and reinforcement material 5014 supporting weights as at hard resin is lumped together the countermeasure that can not support each other.
Many places in elastomer layer 5013 are equipped with pressure sensor 5020, and it can detect according to the user and be sitting on the seat ring 5005 force value that the loading that produces changes.
In addition, in the many places at skin material 5011 back sides strain gauge 5021 is installed, it can detect the deflection that the user is sitting in the raceway surfaces that produces on the seat ring.
Pressure sensor 5020 and strain gauge 5021 are electrically connected with control device 5009, contrast with the mensuration numerical value that determines in advance by the information of control device 5009 these detections, thus, when the user is sitting on the seat ring, just can infer the amount of being absorbed in of the above-below direction of user's buttocks and body part indirectly according to the effect of elastomer layer 5013.
In addition, in the position arbitrarily of seat ring 5005 a plurality of pressure sensors 5020 and strain gauge 5021 are set, can infer the user by a plurality of information that obtain from pressure sensor 5020 and strain gauge 5021 and be sitting in the front and back of raceway surfaces and which position of left and right directions.
Then, use Figure 23 that the formation of wiper mechanism 5008 is described.Figure 23 is the side view of wiper mechanism 5008, is used for rinse water 5023 that the body part 5022 to human body cleans from washer jet 5024 ejections.Washer jet 5024 is bearing on the nozzle holder 5025 sliding freely by nozzle driving mechanism 5026, washer jet 5024 is the structure that the reception position in the autonomous agent 5007 passes in and out to the preceding oblique below of seat ring 5005, can carry out fore-and-aft direction and highly adjusting to the leading section position of washer jet 5024 by control turnover amount.

On the other hand, pressure sensor 5020 and 5021 pairs of variable quantities of strain gauge of being equipped on many places detect, and Monitoring Data sent to control device 5009, control device 5009 contrasts the mensuration numerical value of these data with storage in advance, thus, infer the position of user's body part, make washer jet 5024 move to only position, 5023 pairs of body parts 5022 of jet cleaning water wash then.
For example, under the situation that body weight change the user position that is absorbed in increasing, body part 5022 heavy, seat ring reduces, as shown in figure 24, utilize nozzle driving mechanism 5026 that nozzle location is forwards moved, perhaps, as shown in figure 25, utilize nozzle holder elevating mechanism 5027 to reduce the upper-lower position of nozzle holder 5025, regulate flow control valve (not shown) as shown in figure 26, thus, weaken the ejection intensity of rinse water 5024, thereby can make rinse water 5023 with optimal intensity body contact part 5022 reliably.
The user changes, when the position of body part changes, with similarly above-mentioned, according to the detection data of pressure sensor 5020 and strain gauge 5021, carry out the ejection of only rinse water with the aligned in position of user's body part 5022.
In addition, based on the locomotive function at fore-and-aft direction of nozzle driving mechanism 5026, based on the locomotive function at above-below direction of nozzle holder elevating mechanism 5027, based on the ejection intensity regulatory function of flow control valve, position according to body part, the situation of only using one of them function and the situation that a plurality of functions are combined are arranged, and these selections are set in the control device in advance.
In addition, as Figure 27, shown in Figure 28, when the user sits in the place ahead slightly of seat ring, as shown in figure 27, by nozzle driving mechanism 5026 nozzle location is forwards moved, perhaps, as shown in figure 28, reduce the upper-lower position of nozzle holder 5019 by nozzle holder elevating mechanism 5027, thus, can make rinse water hit body part 5022, at this moment, utilize flow control valve to regulate spray volume, can further improve the precision of hitting.In addition, be sitting in the user under the situation at rear slightly of seat ring, as long as carry out and above-mentioned opposite adjusting.
As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, on the elastomer layer of seat ring, be equipped with pressure sensor and strain gauge, utilize the nozzle driving mechanism, nozzle holder elevating mechanism and flow control valve are controlled the ejection of the rinse water of washer jet, and according to user's body part in the amount of being absorbed in of above-below direction or adjust the in-position of rinse water automatically at the amount of movement of fore-and-aft direction, thus, the deflection of the seat ring that the elastomer layer that utilization is made of the soft resin material constitutes, body weight according to the user changes, usually, rinse water can be hit body part and carries out comfortable flushing.
In addition, in the present embodiment, used pressure sensor and strain gauge simultaneously as sensor device, but be not limited thereto, working pressure sensor or strain gauge also can obtain the action effect approximate with present embodiment separately.In addition, also can use above-mentioned two kinds of sensors in addition.

Figure 33 is the details drawing of the printed patterns of expression PTC resistive element 6023 and electrode 6024.In the present embodiment, in same operation, on a flexible membrane 6022, form power electrode 6028 and ptc heater 6012, thus, realized the efficient activity of producing.As shown in figure 33, with the roughly similar flexible membrane's 6020 of seat ring 6006 shapes edge of opening 6022a and neighboring 6022b near dispose width wide ring- type power electrode 6028a, 6028b in relative mode.Power electrode 6028a, 6028b are the electrodes that is provided with for to ptc heater 6012 supply capabilities.In addition, under the state of seat ring 6006 that ptc heater 6012 is packed into, power electrode 6028a, 6028b be provided in the edge of opening 6006a of seat ring 6006 and neighboring 6006b near.
Be equipped with main electrode 6029a, the 6029b of ptc heater 6012 respectively in relative mode from power electrode 6028a, 6028b, alternately derive a plurality of electrode 6030a, 6030b and constitute comb electrode towards the main electrode of the other side's side from each main electrode 6029a, 6029b along the approximate right angle direction.In addition, main electrode 6029a, 6029b are provided on the direction with flexible membrane 6022 edge of opening 6022a approximate vertical, thus, prop up electrode 6030a, 6030b and edge of opening 6022a almost parallel, under ptc heater 6012 is packed the state of seat ring 6006 into, electrode 6030a, 6030b with respect to the edge of opening 6006a almost parallel of seat ring 6006 set.
Power electrode 6028a, main electrode 6029a, an electrode 6030a or power electrode 6028b, main electrode 6029b, the formation of an electrode 6030b for being electrically connected, the power electrode 6028a of edge of opening 6022a side is made as positive electrode, the power electrode 6028b of outer peripheral edges 6022b side is made as negative electrode.
In the scope that is equipped with electrode 6030a, a 6030b on the whole, be printed with PTC resistive element 6023 in stacked mode with ptc characteristics.
With main electrode 6029a, 6029b and electrode 6030a, 6030b and ptc heater 6012 of PTC resistive element 6023 formation, on the complete cycle of power electrode 6028a, 6028b, set ptc heater at interval with approximate equality.

The PTC resistive element 6023 that is powered just automatically becomes the self-temperature of low power what is called when work as temperature and uprise with high-power heating when low by equitemperature when beginning to heat up to be controlled, and temperature is controlled at the temperature of regulation.By PTC resistive element 6023, main electrode 6029a, 6029b and electrode 6030a, a 6030b are configured on the seated surface equably, the buttocks when taking one's seat, the sense of can being heated uniformly.
In addition, the circumferencial direction almost parallel of electrode 6030a, 6030b and seat ring, therefore, when taking one's seat, the portion of taking one's seat is the approximate right angle direction with respect to the deflection direction, and PTC resistive element 6023 can be not destroyed, and durability is good.
The ptc heater 6012 of above-mentioned formation has the thermal capacity that adds about 200W～500W, utilizes AC30V voltage following or that DC45V is following to heat.Ptc heater 6012 has when temperature is low, the chain polymerization of carbon and electric current passes through easily; The so-called ptc characteristics (ptc characteristics) that the chain cut-out of conductive particles when temperature raises and being difficult for is flowed electric current.In other words, have when just beginning to switch on equitemperature and when temperature raises, then automatically become low power so-called automatic temperature-adjusting control characteristic with high-power heating when low.
Elastomer layer 6013 uses polyurathamcs, and the separated foam structure that mainly adopts air entrapment to link to each other is eliminated the turnover of gas, has the resiliency based on air, but so long as have suitable resiliency, can be the continuous air bubbles structure.In addition, elastomer layer 6013 covers reinforcement material 6014 and forms on every side, and buttocks can directly not contact reinforcement material 6014 yet when taking one's seat.
About the toilet seat device that constitutes as mentioned above, below its action, effect are described.
At first, when the people entered the chamber, toilet for stool and urine, human detection mechanism 6020 detected human body and its signal is sent to the signal receiving structure 6021 that is located on the main body 6008.The signal that control device 6009 receives according to signal receiving structure 6021 is switched on and is heated up rapidly planar ptc heater 6012.With high-power heating, when raising, temperature then automatically becomes small-power when ptc heater 6012 equitemperature when beginning to heat up is low.Thereby, have when bringing into use, hot via the so-called speed that the little thin skin material 6011 of thermal capacity raises temperature immediately.
Figure 34 is the curve map of temperature characterisitic of the seat ring 6006 of expression present embodiment, and transverse axis is represented the time, and the longitudinal axis is represented the raceway surfaces temperature, and the surface temperature of seat ring 6006 reached about 35 ℃ with interior at 10 seconds.The comfortable surface temperature of seat ring 6006 is about 35 ℃～40 ℃.It is roughly the same that ptc heater 6012 is heated to undress time of sitting on the seat ring of time of needing about 35 ℃ and people, is approximately about several seconds～10 second, reaches and do not feel ice-cold temperature when sitting down.
The user is sitting under the state on the seat ring of above-mentioned formation, have the elastomer layer 6013 of resiliency and deflection freely ptc heater 6012 along user's buttocks and be out of shape, and moderate finite deformation takes place and becomes the end state that touches in the impact of elastomer layer 6013 owing to sitting down, but, because reinforcement material 6012 has elasticity, therefore, the user can take one's seat with the state that does not withstand shocks.
Shown in Figure 32 (a) and (b), being characterized as of the ptc heater 6012 of present embodiment is engaged in the elastomeric material 6027 by the particle 6022 that will be mixed with resin and carbon, forms under flexible situation and also can not destroy.Owing to form the structure that is rich in flexibility like this and has retractility, therefore, can not cause the destruction of PTC resistive element 6023 for the stretching, extension about 5-10%.
Under the state that the user takes one's seat, the deflection of seat ring upwards tailed off in the week of seat ring 6006, and major part is becoming big from edge of opening 6006a on the approximate vertical direction of neighboring 6006b.Electrode 6030a, the 6030b of present embodiment and edge of opening 6006a or the configuration of 6006b almost parallel ground, neighboring, thus, effectively utilize the PTC resistive element 6023 and the characteristic thereof of retractility, the breakage of ptc heater 6012 and the variation of characteristic are suppressed in the Min..
In addition, power electrode 6028a, 6028b form and seat ring edge of opening 6006a and the roughly similar ring-type of neighboring 6006b shape, therefore, and when for example a place is cut off because of unusual distortion, whole also can keeping and being connected of main electrode, thus can guarantee durability.
As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, power electrode forms the ring-type roughly similar with the neighboring shape to the seat ring edge of opening, and the ptc heater that will set main electrode along the direction with the edge of opening almost parallel is provided in the elastomer layer that is out of shape along user's the bodily form, thus, the user is less to be felt and impact when sitting down and ice-cold also can not hinder the blood flow of buttocks even take one's seat for a long time, and the comfortable toilet seat device of heating can be provided.
In addition, according to the ptc characteristics (automatic temperature-adjusting control characteristic) of ptc heater, and utilize speed hot and heat up after self-temperature control function, can suppress the use of excrescent electric power, the toilet seat device of good energy-conserving effect can be provided.
And the distortion of seat ring when adopting printed patterns to take one's seat and the influence of ptc heater is suppressed in the Min. thus, can suppress the breakage of electrode and PTC resistive element and the variation of characteristic, can provide durability high toilet seat device.
In addition, in the present embodiment, with regard to the PTC resistive element of ptc heater 6012, in all ptc heaters, use the identical parts of cooperation ratio of resin and carbon, but, also can use and cooperate the different PTC resistive element of ratio according to the equipping position of ptc heater, the ptc heater that for example sets in the both sides of seat ring 6006 uses the high PTC resistive element of cooperation ratio of carbon, the ptc heater that is equipped on the front and rear of seat ring uses the low PTC resistive element of cooperation ratio of carbon, thus, the caloric value that is sitting in the both sides that the buttocks of the user on the seat ring fits morely is many, heating effect is good, buttocks few front and rear caloric value of fitting is few, can not use unnecessary electric power, and is more comfortable and energy saving is improved.
In addition, as mentioned above, the structure of the PTC resistive element that the cooperation ratio that corresponding each ptc heater of formation uses resin and carbon is different but, also can change the cooperation ratio according to the position of a ptc heater.For example, apart from the near position of the edge of opening of seat ring, the cooperation ratio of carbon is many, apart from the near position of the outer peripheral edges of seat ring, the cooperation ratio of carbon is few, thus, near the caloric value that is sitting in the edge of opening that the buttocks of the user on the seat ring fits morely is many, and heating effect is good, near the caloric value that buttocks is fitted few outer peripheral edges portion is few, can not use unnecessary electric power, with similarly above-mentioned, comfortable and make province can property raising.
In addition, in the present embodiment, use retractility PTC resistive element as ptc heater, but be not limited thereto,, also can obtain the effect approximate with present embodiment if use the ptc heater that do not have expansion performance etc. can constitute planar heater.In addition, in the present embodiment, skin material and ptc heater are made of different component, still, also can use flexible membrane's double as skin material of ptc heater.
In addition, in the present embodiment, ptc heater is configured in the inside of elastomer layer, still, the place that is provided with as ptc heater, also can be arranged between skin material and the elastomer layer, or be arranged on reinforcement material above, especially, when using the low ptc heater of bendability, by it is located at the reinforcement material that becomes elastomer layer below above, the less existence of feeling ptc heater can improve comfortableness under the state of taking one's seat.
In the present embodiment, constitute reinforcement material with resin forming spare, but be not limited thereto, also can form, in addition, multiple combination of materials such as resin, metal, pottery can also be constituted by the rubber-like metal.In addition, with regard to the flexible intensity that reinforcement material possesses, be not all to possess identical elasticity at all positions, for example,, its flexible intensity is weakened in the part corresponding with buttocks, thus, can easily absorb the impact when taking one's seat; In the part corresponding with thigh, its elastic strength is strengthened, thus, can stablize the body weight when keeping taking one's seat, more comfortable seat ring is provided.
In addition, in the present embodiment, on the flexible membrane, print the formation power electrode in the same manner with ptc heater, but be not limited thereto, it also can be the formation that printing forms on other flexible membrane power electrode carries out stacked connection, in addition, can consider stacked the constituting etc. of being connected of the power electrode that will form by thin metal and the main electrode of ptc heater.
