Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet seat device installed in a Western-style toilet.

  Conventionally, as this type of toilet seat device, for example, there is one shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-993 (Patent Document 1). This toilet seat device is provided with ozone generating means in the toilet seat body to which the toilet seat is attached, and when detecting that a person is seated on the toilet seat, ozone is generated by the ozone generating means and released into the toilet, It is to deodorize odors.

However, this conventional toilet seat device has a problem in that dew condensation may occur in the ozone generating part due to a change in the temperature environment of the toilet, and if the dew condensation water reaches the electrode part that is the ozone generating part, there is a problem of electric leakage. For this reason, in the toilet seat device provided with the ozone generating means, measures must be taken so that the condensed water does not reach the electrode portion to which a high voltage is applied. As a result, the internal configuration becomes complicated and expensive. It had become a thing.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-993

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a point, The place made into the objective is to provide the toilet seat apparatus which can aim at safety | security high and cost reduction.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a toilet seat body to which a toilet seat is attached, a human body detection means, and a human body detection that is contained in the toilet seat body and is detected in the toilet body based on human body detection. In a toilet seat device comprising a deodorant releasing means for releasing a deodorant, a deodorant accommodating portion replaceable with respect to the toilet seat body is provided, and the deodorant accommodated in the deodorant accommodating portion is The deodorizer released by the deodorizer releasing means is used.

  According to the invention of claim 1, since the deodorant container can be replaced, it is not necessary to take a complicated configuration on electrical safety measures without requiring a high voltage for generating the deodorant, Cost reduction can be achieved.

  The toilet seat device according to the present invention does not require a high voltage for generating a deodorant and does not require a complicated configuration in terms of electrical safety measures, so that the cost can be reduced. In addition, when the deodorant container is lost, it can be replaced with a new one, especially when the deodorant container is not a dedicated product but a variety of commercially available products. If it does, the opportunity to select the product with a high deodorizing effect increases, or it becomes possible to purchase at low cost.

  Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  A toilet seat device 1 according to the present embodiment is installed in a toilet (not shown), and includes a toilet seat body 2 having a sleeve portion 2a, a toilet seat 3 provided in an openable / closable manner with respect to the toilet seat body 2, and a toilet. A lid 4 and a local cleaning nozzle 5 for cleaning the buttocks and bidet are provided.

  An operation unit 6 is provided on the upper surface of the sleeve 2a, and when the user appropriately operates the operation unit 6, for example, hot water is ejected from the local cleaning nozzle 5 or an automatic deodorization mode described later is set. You can do it. A human body detection means 7 such as an infrared sensor is provided on the front surface of the sleeve portion 2a, and detects whether or not a person is in the toilet and transmits a detection signal to the control means 8. A detachable case 9 is provided on the lower surface of the sleeve 2a, and a commercially available deodorant spray 10 is detachably accommodated in the case 9 as a deodorant accommodating portion.

  Inside the toilet seat body 2, a deodorant releasing means 11 for releasing the deodorant of the deodorant spray 10 into the toilet from the discharge port 12 is provided. The deodorant discharging means 11 is detachably connected to the jet outlet 10b of the nozzle head 10a of the deodorant spray 10 and deodorant hose 13 that brings the deodorant of the deodorant spray 10 to the discharge port 12; The pressing unit 14 is configured to be freely pressed against the nozzle head 10a by air pressure, and the air motor 16 applies air pressure to the pressing unit 14 via an air hose 15. Further, the toilet seat body 2 detects whether or not the case 9 is attached to the sleeve 2 a in a state where the deodorant spray 10 is connected to the deodorant hose 13 and transmits a detection signal to the control means 8. Attachment / detachment detection means 17 is provided.

  Next, the deodorizing operation by the deodorant releasing means 11 will be described based on FIG. 1, FIG. 4 and FIG.

  When the air motor 16 is driven, air pressure is applied to the pressing unit 14, and the pressing unit 14 operates to press the nozzle head 10a. Since the deodorant spray 10 is designed to eject the deodorant from the jet outlet 10b when the nozzle head 10a is pressed, the deodorant is added to the deodorant hose 13 while the nozzle head 10a is pressed. Is discharged from the discharge port 12 into the toilet.

  FIG. 4 is a timing chart when the automatic deodorization mode is set in the operation unit 6. FIG. 4A is a human body detection state by the human body detecting means 7 (ON when a human body exists, and a case where a human body does not exist). OFF), and (b) shows the driving state of the air motor 16. In this mode, when the human body is detected by the human body detection means 7, the air motor 16 is driven for a certain period of time to release the deodorant into the toilet, and then when the human body is no longer detected, the air motor 16 is constant. It is possible to automatically perform the operation of driving the time and releasing the deodorant into the toilet bowl.

  FIG. 5 is a timing chart when the automatic deodorization mode is canceled (OFF) by the operation unit 6, and (a) is a human body detection state by the human body detection means 7 (ON when a human body exists, human body exists) (B) shows the ON / OFF state of the deodorizing switch (not shown) of the operation unit 6, and (c) shows the driving state of the air motor 16. In this mode, the air motor 16 can be driven when the deodorizing switch is turned on while the human body detecting means 7 is detecting the human body. For this reason, while the deodorizing switch is turned on, the air motor 16 is driven to operate so as to release the deodorant into the toilet bowl. Therefore, the deodorant is released into the toilet bowl according to the intention of the user. Can do.

  As described above, the present embodiment does not require a high voltage for generating a deodorant unlike a toilet seat device incorporating a conventional ozone generating means, and thus has a complicated configuration in terms of electrical safety measures. This eliminates the need for cost reduction. Moreover, since the commercially available deodorant spray 10 is detachable, it can be replaced with a new one when the deodorant in the deodorant spray 10 runs out.

  In the present embodiment, the deodorant spray 10 is exemplified as the deodorant container. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a tank into which the deodorant can be poured. It is good. In this case, the deodorant releasing means 11 may be provided with a pump that brings the deodorant in the tank to the discharge port 12 instead of the air motor 16 and the pressing portion 14 of the present embodiment, for example. .

  In the present embodiment, the human body detecting means 7 detects whether a person is in the toilet. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, whether the person is seated on the toilet seat. It is good also as what is called a seating sensor which detects whether.

It is a fracture perspective view of the important section in the toilet seat device of one embodiment of the present invention. It is a perspective view which shows the external appearance of a toilet seat apparatus same as the above. It is a control block diagram same as the above. It is a timing chart at the time of automatic deodorizing mode setting same as the above, (a) shows operation | movement of a human body detection means, (b) shows the drive state of an air motor. It is a timing chart at the time of cancellation | release of automatic deodorization mode same as the above, (a) shows operation | movement of a human body detection means, (b) shows the operating state of a deodorizing switch, (c) shows the drive state of an air motor. .
