  Furthermore, the seat / separation detecting means 4 is provided in the toilet seat device 3, and the seat / separation detecting means 4 is provided in the toilet seat 36, for example.

  Then, a signal from the seating / seating detection means 4 is input to the toilet seat side control section 11 to control the toilet seat side function section 8, or a signal such as an infrared signal is transmitted from the transmission section 5. The seating signal and the separation signal transmitted from the transmitting unit 5 are received by the receiving unit 6 provided in the toilet control unit case 21, and the signal received by the receiving unit 6 is input to the toilet-side control unit 14 and inputted. The toilet flushing means 1 is controlled by the toilet side controller 14 based on the received signal, and the toilet bowl is washed by flowing water into the bowl portion 15.

  The toilet seat side function unit 8 is controlled by a signal from the seating / seating detection means 4 and the toilet bowl cleaning means 1 is controlled by a male stool or a female urine of a girl who sits on the toilet seat 36 and adds use. Is the case.

  The operation of the toilet device A of the present invention will be described first in the case of male stool and female urine. When the user is seated on the toilet seat 36 of the toilet seat device 3, the seating / separation detecting means 4 detects the seating, and when the user is seated after the seating, the seating is detected. When seating / seating is detected by the seating / seating detection means 4, a seating signal or a seating signal is input to the toilet seat side control unit 11, and the toilet seat side control unit 11 receives a plurality of seating signals or seating signals based on the seating signal or the seating signal. One or more of the toilet seat side functional units 8 are controlled. In this case, for example, for example, when a seating signal is input, the deodorizing means 8c, which is one of the toilet seat side functional units 8, is turned on to start deodorization, and then a seating signal is input. The deodorizing means 8c is controlled to be turned off after a predetermined time has elapsed after the separation signal is input. Further, when the seating signal is input, the operation of the local cleaning means 8a for cleaning the local part of the human body is enabled.

Is controlled so that the operation cannot be accepted, and a signal for turning on the local cleaning means 8a by operating the operation unit 38 or the toilet seat side remote control device 12 provided in the toilet seat control unit case 35 is controlled by the toilet seat side control. When input to the unit 11, the toilet seat side control unit 11 controls the local cleaning means 8a to operate only during the sitting period in which the operation can be received, and when the operation cannot be received (that is, when the user is not seated) ) Does not operate the local cleaning means 8a. This prevents the local cleaning means 8a from operating accidentally when the user is not seated and erroneously ejecting cleaning water such as hot water.

  Further, when the seating / leaving detection means 4 detects the seating / leaving, the transmitting means 5 transmits a signal such as an infrared signal. The seating signal and the separation signal transmitted from the transmitting unit 5 are received by the receiving unit 6 provided in the toilet control unit case 21, and the signal received by the receiving unit 6 is input to the toilet-side control unit 14 and inputted. The toilet flushing means 1 is controlled by the toilet side controller 14 based on the received signal, and the toilet bowl is washed by flowing water into the bowl portion 15.

  Here, for example, when a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses after the seating / seating detection means 4 detects the seating, the seating confirmation is made. When this is received by the receiving means 6, counting is started by the counting means provided in the toilet control unit 14, and if the seating signal is not received within a certain time (for example, 10 seconds) after the counting is started, the above-mentioned constant The toilet flushing means 1 is controlled to be turned on after a lapse of time (10 seconds), and toilet flushing is performed. The counting means provided in the toilet control unit 14 starts counting for a certain time (for example, 10 When the seating signal is received during (second), the counting is stopped. In this case, since the fixed time does not elapse after the counting is started, the toilet cleaning means 1 does not perform the toilet cleaning.

  Since the toilet flushing performed based on the signal from the seating / seating detection means 4 as described above is for men's stool and girls' urine, the amount of flushing water is large, which is referred to as stool washing for convenience.

  On the other hand, in the case of a boy's urine, he / she stands up without sitting on the toilet seat 36, and then operates the toilet flushing switch operation button 9 provided on the operation unit 38 or the toilet seat side remote control device 12. When the toilet flushing switch operation button 9 is operated, the transmitted signal is transmitted from the transmitting unit 5 to the receiving unit 6 as a radio signal such as an infrared signal through the toilet seat side control unit 11, and the signal received by the receiving unit 6 Is input to the toilet-side control unit 14, and based on the input signal, the toilet-side control unit 14 controls the toilet cleaning means 1 to flow the water into the bowl portion 15 to perform toilet cleaning. Since toilet cleaning in this case is a boy's urine, the amount of washing water is small. This is a piss wash.

  Further, when a toilet cleaning remote control signal is transmitted by operating the toilet cleaning switch operation button 9a for toilet cleaning of the toilet-side remote control device 43, the remote control signal is received by the toilet-side remote control signal receiving unit 44 and the toilet side Based on this input signal, the toilet-side control unit 14 controls the toilet flushing means 1 to flow the water into the bowl unit 15 to wash the toilet bowl. There is a large amount of water to be washed. Further, when a toilet control signal for urinal washing is transmitted by operating the toilet flushing switch operation button 9b for urine washing of the toilet side remote control device 43, the remote control signal is received by the toilet side remote control signal receiving unit 44 and the toilet side Based on this input signal, the toilet-side controller 14 controls the toilet bowl washing means 1 to flow water into the bowl section 15 based on the input signal, and in this case, the toilet bowl is washed. The amount of water for washing is small.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of toilet cleaning operation by the toilet cleaning means 1 in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the toilet bowl washing means 1 for washing the bowl portion 15 with water is constituted by the toilet bowl washing valve 22 and the drive motor 19 that drives the turn trap 17, and FIG. 7 (f) shows the toilet bowl washing means. 1 is an off state, that is, a state in which the accumulated water is returned (standby state). In this state, the opening at the other end of the turn trap 17 faces upward, and water W is accumulated in the turn trap 17 and the bowl portion 15. . In this state, when the toilet flushing means 1 is turned on and toilet flushing is disclosed, first, the toilet flushing valve 22 is opened and water W flows out to the bowl portion 15 as shown by the arrow in FIG. Next, as shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, the drive motor 19 is rotated forward to rotate the turn trap 17 so that the opening at the other end of the turn trap 17 faces downward. 15 and the water W accumulated in the turn trap 17 are discharged from the other end of the turn trap 17 to discharge the filth together with the water W. Next, the drive motor 19 is reversely rotated to rotate the turn trap 17 as shown in FIG. 7D so that the opening at the other end of the turn trap 17 faces upward. During this time, water W is supplied into the bowl portion 15 even when the toilet flush valve 22 is open and the opening at the other end of the turn trap 17 faces upward as shown in FIG. When water W accumulates in the turn trap 17 and the bowl portion 15 with the opening at the other end facing upward as in f), the toilet flushing valve 22 is closed, and the stored water return state (standby state) in FIG. )become.

  The bowl 15 of the toilet bowl 2 is washed as described above. To change the amount of washing water between stool washing and urine washing, for example, in the case of the stool washing described above, the state shown in FIG. From the state shown in FIG. 7C, the drive motor 19 is reversed in the case of urine washing. The supply time of the wash water supplied from the toilet flushing valve 22 is shortened by shortening the time until it is made to occur.

  As described above, when transmitting the signal from the toilet seat device 3 to the toilet 2 side and controlling the toilet cleaning means 1 provided on the toilet 2 side, it is transmitted and received as a radio signal. The construction for connecting the toilet 2 with the cleaning means 1 and the toilet seat device 3 side by wiring is not necessary, and it is only necessary to attach the toilet seat device 3 to the toilet 2 and the construction at the site can be simplified.

  In addition, since there is no need to connect the transmission means 5 on the toilet seat device 3 side and the reception means 6 on the toilet seat 2 side by wiring, various types of toilet seat devices 3 having different shapes, colors and forms (functions) are prepared. By attaching the toilet seat device 3 of the customer's preference to the toilet 2 equipped with the toilet cleaning means 1, the reception means 6 can receive the seating signal and the separation signal transmitted from the transmission means 5, and can perform toilet cleaning. In addition, even when the toilet seat device 3 breaks down or is damaged, only the toilet seat device 3 can be removed for inspection and repair, and can be replaced with another toilet seat device 3.

  Moreover, since there is no wiring which connects the toilet seat apparatus 3 side and the toilet bowl 2 side when cleaning the toilet seat apparatus 3, it can clean without being disturbed by wiring.

  Here, when the wireless signal transmitted from the transmission means 5 is an infrared signal, the toilet seat device 3 can be moved when the toilet seat device 3 is removed from the toilet bowl 2 for maintenance, inspection or cleaning of the toilet seat device 3. Even if an infrared signal is transmitted from the transmitting means 5 when the wrong sitting / seating detection is performed by the sitting / seating detection means by placing on or touching the floor, the transmission is performed by removing the toilet seat device 3. Since the means 5 and the receiving means 6 do not face each other, no infrared signal is received by the receiving means 6. For this reason, when the toilet seat device 3 is removed and cleaning is performed, the toilet seat is not erroneously washed by the toilet seat washing means based on the erroneous seating / seating detection result.

  As described above, the seating signal and the seating signal are transmitted as radio signals from the transmission means 5 provided on the toilet seat device 3 side, and the seating / seating signal is received by the receiving means 6 provided on the toilet bowl 2 side. By controlling the toilet flushing means 1 provided, it has the above-described features. As described above, the transmitting means 5 is provided in the toilet seat device, and the receiving means 6 is provided on the toilet 2 side so as to be wireless. When communication is not possible between the transmission means 5 and the reception means 6, it is necessary to easily check whether the transmission means 5 side is broken or the reception means 6 side is broken. There is.

  The present invention is characterized in that it is possible to easily check which one of the transmission means 5 and the reception means 6 is faulty when communication between the transmission means 5 and the reception means 6 becomes impossible. is there.

  That is, the toilet device A of the present invention has a failure inspection mode in addition to the normal mode described above. In order to switch from the normal mode to the failure inspection mode, for example, first, when communication is not possible between the transmission means 5 and the reception means 6 in the normal mode, the toilet seat device 3 is removed from the toilet 2 as shown in FIG. The toilet seat device is turned off before or after the toilet seat device 3 is removed. Next, the failure inspection mode setting means provided on the toilet 2 side is operated to set the failure inspection mode.

  As the failure inspection mode setting means, for example, a failure inspection mode setting operation switch may be provided on the toilet 2 side, and this operation switch may be operated. However, without providing a special operation switch as described above. The operation of the toilet cleaning switch operation button 9a for toilet cleaning or the toilet cleaning switch operation button 9b for urine of the toilet 2 or the remote control device 43 may be used as the operation switch for setting the failure inspection mode.

  In this case, the power supply of the toilet device A is once cut off in the normal mode, and then the toilet flushing switch operation button 9a for the stool of the operation unit provided in the toilet-side remote control device 43 or the toilet control unit case 35 or for urine By turning on the power to the toilet device A while pressing the toilet cleaning switch operation button 9b (in the embodiment, the toilet cleaning switch operation button 9a for stool), the failure check mode is set for a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes). Can be done. During the failure check mode, for example, the notification means 10 outputs a warning sound such as “beep” to notify that the failure check mode is set. The failure inspection mode automatically switches to the normal mode when a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) elapses.

  In the present invention, only in the state of the failure inspection mode, the toilet flushing remote control signal transmitted by operating the toilet flushing switch operation button 9 of the toilet seat side remote control device 12 via the receiving means 6 is received by the toilet control unit 14. The toilet control unit 14 is configured so as to be received.

  Here, in order to receive the toilet cleaning remote control signal transmitted by operating the toilet cleaning switch operation button 9 of the toilet seat side remote control device 12 by the receiving means 6, the toilet seat side remote control device 12 is provided on the toilet 2 side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the toilet seat device 3 is removed from the toilet 2 in advance to enter the failure check mode, and then the failure check mode is set as described above. The toilet seat side remote control device 12 is opposed to the receiving means 6 provided on the toilet 2 side, and a remote control signal for toilet cleaning is transmitted to the receiving means 6.

  Therefore, when the receiving means 6 is not broken down, the receiving means is provided with a remote control signal for toilet flushing on the toilet 2 side by operating the toilet flushing switch operation button 9 of the toilet seat side remote control device 12 in the state of the fault check mode. If the remote control signal is directly received, the remote control signal is received and the toilet cleaning means 1 is controlled to perform toilet cleaning. On the other hand, if the receiving means 6 is not broken, the toilet cleaning is not performed. As a result, if the receiving means 6 receives the toilet cleaning remote control signal from the toilet seat side remote control device 12 and performs toilet cleaning as described above in the failure inspection mode, the receiving means 6 is not broken, and the transmitting means Since 5 is found to be out of order, the transmitting means 5 may be disassembled and repaired. Further, even if a toilet cleaning remote control signal is transmitted from the toilet seat side remote control device 12 as described above in the state of the failure check mode, reception is not accepted, and if the toilet cleaning is not performed, at least the receiving means 6 breaks down. Therefore, the receiving means 6 may be disassembled and repaired.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, although the toilet trap A was provided in the toilet bowl 2 and sealed and water was drained by driving the turn trap 17, the turn trap 17 is provided. Instead, a toilet tank cleaning valve 22 that opens and closes a drain outlet in the low tank by opening a toilet tank is opened and the water in the low tank is flushed to the bowl portion 15 to perform toilet cleaning, or a toilet tap cleaning valve 22 that is directly connected to a water supply.
