Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet apparatus that can be applied to a fixed Western toilet, a portable simple Western toilet, and the like. Specifically, by providing a crushing means for crushing excrement etc. in the reservoir part of the toilet bowl body and adopting a cutter mechanism that can be cut and crushed as this crushing means, not only for defecation but also for insoluble tissue paper etc. Even if it exists, these can be cut and crushed so as to be suitable for discharge to a sewer pipe or the like.

  The current Western-style toilet is provided with a reservoir for collecting trap water at the bottom of the toilet body, and defecates in trapped trap water, and traps excrement (hereinafter referred to as excrement) with water-soluble toilet paper. It is made to discharge | emit to the sewer pipe side with water (for example, patent document 1).

  With regard to paper used in Western-style toilets, attention is often paid to use as much toilet paper (water-soluble paper) as possible. This is to recommend the use of water-soluble toilet paper as the paper in order to prevent clogging in the toilet body and clogging in the sewer pipe. Recently, in addition to this type of toilet paper, water-soluble paper can be used in Western toilets. For example, water-soluble tissue paper that can be used in Western toilets is commercially available.

  On the other hand, a portable simple Western toilet is known instead of a fixed Western toilet (for example, Patent Document 2). This portable simple Western-style toilet has been developed for elderly people who need nursing care and those who are physically disabled and have difficulty in visiting existing toilets (such as Western-style toilets) in their homes.

  This portable simple Western-style toilet is configured as a chair so that it can be easily installed in a living room, and can be used by sitting on a chair. The structure of a simple Western-style toilet is almost the same as a fixed Western-style toilet. Therefore, the toilet body which has the reservoir part which collects trap water is used also for a simple western style toilet, and excrement etc. are discharged | emitted with trap water after use.

  Even in such a simple Western-style toilet, paper that can be used is water-soluble paper such as toilet paper so that excrement and the like are not clogged in the toilet body or the discharge pipe. Moreover, in order to make discharge | emission easy, there exist some which provide a crushing means in a toilet bowl main body (for example, patent document 3).

JP 2004-308404 A JP 2000-325258 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-275858

  By the way, in the Western-style toilet using washing water as described above, in order to discharge excrement etc. together with the trap water without pulverizing the toilet body, use precautions to avoid using other than toilet paper provided. Although it is arousing, it may still use things other than those provided.

  For example, there is tissue paper. If the tissue paper is disposed in the toilet body in a condensed state, for example, by rolling the tissue paper, an accident in which the toilet body and the sewer pipe are clogged easily occurs.

  If water-soluble tissue paper is used in large quantities, a similar accident is likely to occur. In addition, for toilet facilities that are used by an unspecified number of people, such as toilet facilities in public places, there is a need for improvement measures for the treatment of used sanitary products. As an example of this improvement measure, water-soluble sanitary products that can be used to dispose of used sanitary products in existing toilet facilities are sold, but they were water-soluble when used with toilet paper. However, since it takes time until water (washing water such as trap water) penetrates, solidity does not collapse and it cannot be safely discharged. This problem is the same even in the case of a simple Western-style toilet.

  Since Patent Document 3 discloses a configuration in which a simple Western-style toilet is provided with a pulverizing means, it is conceivable to employ this configuration in the above-described fixed Western-style toilet. However, this crushing means is designed to be used with the rotating blades lying down sideways. However, since it is pulverized only with the rotating blades, water-soluble papers such as toilet paper as well as excreta are crushed. It's not enough. Therefore, when ordinary tissue paper or the like is used together, there is a possibility that the processing state far exceeds the pulverization ability. For this reason, there is a high risk of being discharged in a solid state including excreta, which is insufficient to improve clogging of the toilet body and the sewer pipe (discharge pipe).

  Even in the case of a simple Western-style toilet instead of a fixed-type, it is considered that the same problem as that of a fixed-type Western-style toilet is caused if only the pulverizing means as in Patent Document 3 is adopted.

  Therefore, the present invention solves such a conventional problem, and in particular, a crushing means for crushing excreta and the like such as defecation is provided in the reservoir portion of the toilet body, and can be cut and crushed as this crushing means. By adopting a cutter mechanism (pulverization mechanism), not only for defecation, but even when sparingly soluble tissue paper is used, it is cut so that it is suitable for discharge to a sewer pipe (discharge pipe)・ We propose a toilet device that can be crushed.

In order to solve the above-described problem, a toilet device according to the present invention described in claim 1 includes a toilet body having a pool portion at the bottom,
Comprising crushing means provided to be submerged in trapped water trapped in the reservoir,
The crushing means is composed of a crushing mechanism portion having a cutter blade and its driving means, and is configured to cut and crush excrement and the like dropped in the pool portion by driving the crushing mechanism portion. It is characterized by that.

  The toilet apparatus according to the present invention can be applied to a portable simple Western-style toilet that is assumed to be used indoors, in addition to a fixed Western-style toilet. In this toilet apparatus, a crushing means for cutting and crushing excrement etc. is provided at the bottom of the toilet body. In the present invention, since the toilet main body having a reservoir portion at the bottom is used, the pulverizing means is provided so as to be submerged in the trap water accumulated in the reservoir portion.

  The crushing means has a cutter function, and is constituted by a crushing mechanism section (cutter mechanism section) and its driving means. The crushing mechanism can be roughly divided into two types. One of them is a case where the crushing mechanism part is composed of a plurality of cutter members that rotate with each other, and the other one is a crushing mechanism part that is a fixed guide member and a cutter member ( Rotating member).

  Explaining only one of them, the crushing mechanism portion is constituted by four cutter members arranged in parallel so as to mesh with each other. The cutter member is constructed by attaching a plurality of disc-like cutter blades at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction (rotating axis direction), and the cutter blades of the adjacent cutter members are mutually on the side surface side. Arranged so as to mesh with each other.

  The degree of meshing is arbitrary. When a substantially straight type cutter member is used, the cutter blades have substantially the same size, and therefore engage with the same engagement depth in the longitudinal direction. When the cutter member is a combination of a substantially straight type and a substantially pincushion type, the manner of engagement of the cutter blade gradually changes in the longitudinal direction, and in this case, the center portion of the cutter member is engaged most shallowly. This combination is deeper than the case in which the cutter member having a substantially pincushion shape meshes with another cutter member, so that the cutter members having a straight mold shape mesh with each other at a substantially central portion of the engagement portion between the cutter members. A recess is formed, and the outline of the tooth tip of the cutter member having a substantially pincushion shape is curved as a whole from both ends toward the center. For this reason, excrement etc. become easy to be gathered together in this recess, and excrement etc. can be cut and crushed effectively.

  The cutting method of the pulverization mechanism is straight cut, cross cut or spiral cut. It is arbitrary which cutter blade is used, but the cross-cut method is exemplified. By using this cutter blade, excrement can be effectively cut and crushed even if the excrement includes a material that is relatively difficult to crush, such as tissue paper, in addition to defecation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an accident in which the toilet body or the sewer pipe (discharge pipe) is clogged.

  The toilet body is provided with a reduced diameter part (annular flange) that is smaller in diameter than the opening of the toilet body at the upper part of the waste collection part, and an open / close lid that closes the reduced diameter part and excrement etc. are pumped. For this purpose, a pumping means can be provided. In this case, when dirt or the like falls on the opening / closing lid, the opening / closing lid has a structure in which the tip of the opening / closing lid is separated from the edge of the reduced diameter portion by its weight, and the waste is automatically dropped into the accumulation portion by its own weight. Is preferred. The excrement etc. can be pumped to the discharge pipe connected to the sewer pipe of the existing toilet by the pumping means. The opening / closing lid is particularly convenient when applied to a simple Western-style toilet or the like because it can eliminate the scent of stool.

  In the present invention, a waste material crushing means is provided in the toilet body reservoir, and a cutter mechanism capable of cutting and crushing is used as the crushing means.

  According to this, since not only defecation but also a poorly soluble tissue paper or the like is used, since these can be cut and crushed, the size of the solid matter is reduced. Therefore, when excrement etc. are discharged | emitted, the situation which these are clogged with the toilet bowl main body or a sewer pipe (discharge pipe) can be prevented beforehand.

  Next, a preferred embodiment of the toilet apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  The embodiment shown below is a case where the toilet device according to the present invention is applied to a simple Western-style toilet on the premise that the toilet device is used in a living room. Even in the case of using in a living room, a Western-style toilet equipped with a so-called warm water-washing toilet seat with a butt-cleaning function is preferable in the same manner as a fixed Western-style toilet. However, in the following explanation, explanation about the equipment of this warm water washing toilet seat is omitted.

  FIG. 16 shows an application example of the present invention. In this example, an existing toilet (fixed Western-style toilet) 3 is installed facing the corridor 2 of the house 1. A toilet 4 and a washing water injection tank 5 are installed in the existing toilet 3. In this example, a room 6 serving as a bedroom is located along the corridor 2, and a bed 7 is placed in the room 6, for example.

  The simple western toilet 10 is provided with a water supply means and a discharge means, the water supply means is connected to a water supply, and the discharge means is connected to a sewer pipe (sewer). Normally, the water supply means (water supply hose 12) and the discharge means (discharge hose 14) are connected by using the water supply pipe and discharge pipe (sewage pipe) of the existing toilet 4, respectively.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an essential part showing an example when the present invention is applied to a simple Western-style toilet 10. The simplified Western-style toilet 10 has a toilet body 20. The toilet body 20 has a funnel-like cross-sectional shape that is substantially the same as that of a normal flush toilet (Western toilet), but the overall shape is configured as a box shape. In recent years, interior elements have been requested, and not only a box shape but also a chair type with an armrest, for example, is used.

  In order to reduce the weight of the toilet body 20, the toilet body 20 is a molded product made of plastic in this example, but may be molded using other materials such as ceramics. A toilet seat 21 is located on the upper opening side of the toilet body 20, and a toilet lid 23 is provided to close the toilet seat 21 and the upper opening.

  The bottom of the toilet body 20 serves as a reservoir 18 for trapped water (reserved water) or excrement. An S-shaped trap portion (discharge portion) 22 that communicates with the reservoir portion 18 and has a substantially “H” cross section is provided, and the discharge hose 14 is connected to a discharge port 27 at the end thereof. A connecting portion 26 related to the outlet 27 is provided on the back surface portion 20 b of the toilet body 20, and an electromagnetic valve 24 functioning as an on-off valve is provided in the toilet body 20 close to the connecting portion 26. . In addition to the illustrated shape, P-shaped, U-shaped, saddle-shaped, and the like are conceivable as the shape of the S-shaped trap portion 22 that communicates with the reservoir portion 18. These shapes can provide the same effects.

  The electromagnetic valve 24 is controlled to open only when the trap water (water containing excrement) in the reservoir 18 is discharged out of the toilet, and is closed when the toilet is not in use. It is provided mainly to prevent water leakage.

  Near the upper part of the toilet body 20, a flush water supply port 28 is provided on the wall surface 18 a on the S-shaped trap portion 22 side. A connecting pipe 30 is disposed between the connecting portion 34 provided on the main body back surface portion 20 b and the water supply port 28. A branch pipe is used as the connecting pipe 30, and an electromagnetic valve 32 for controlling the washing water is attached to one connecting pipe 30 directed to the water supply port 28. This is because water supply from the water supply hose 12 connected to the connection portion 34 can be controlled by the electromagnetic valve 32.

  A cleaning hose (cleaning tube) 240 is also connected to the other branched connection tube 30 via an electromagnetic valve 33. The front end of the cleaning hose 240 is provided so as to protrude above the surface of the trap water in the reservoir 18. By the water injection (actually injection) by the cleaning hose 240, the inside of the reservoir 18 and the back surface of the open / close lid 212 are cleaned as will be described later.

  A rubber-like water leakage prevention pipe 29 is inserted between the water supply port 28 and the wall surface 18a, and a water leakage prevention pipe 242 is also inserted in the pool portion 18 through which the cleaning hose 240 penetrates to prevent water leakage to the outside. It is preventing.

  A crushing means 40 for excrement or the like is provided at a portion of the reservoir 18 where trap water is stored. The crushing means 40 is for cutting and crushing excrement and toilet paper (hereinafter collectively referred to as excrement etc.) collected in the reservoir 18 to make the solid as small as possible, preferably as a fluid, The crushed excrement and the like are mixed with trap water and discharged through a space between the pulverizing means 40 and the bottom wall of the reservoir portion 18. As a crushing means 40, not only excrement but also other items dropped in the reservoir 18 (toilet paper, tissue paper including water-soluble, sanitary products, etc.) are cut into appropriate sizes and crushed. A cutter mechanism (grinding mechanism) is employed.

  Therefore, this crushing means 40 is constituted by a crushing mechanism 40A and its driving means 40B (see FIG. 3). As shown in FIG. 2, the crushing mechanism 40A is composed of a plurality of cutter members 41 (41A, 41B,...). As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cutter member 41 has a plurality of cutter blades 43 (43a, 43B, 43C,...) With a predetermined interval ΔL with respect to the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the rotating shaft 42. And many are arranged and configured.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the cutter blade 43 has a disk shape and has a plurality of wedge-shaped blade portions 47 (47a, 47b,...) Formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. . In this example, steel is used for the tip portions of the blade portions 47a, 47b,..., But the whole may be made of stainless steel.

  Each of the cutter blades 43 is provided with a plurality of through holes 48 inside the blade portion 47 and maintaining a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction thereof. These through holes 48 allow the pulverized flow material such as trap water to flow between the left and right side surfaces of the cutter blade 43, so that excrement and the like can be discharged smoothly.

  In this way, the cutter member 41 composed of a plurality of cutter blades 43 is arranged side by side as shown in FIG. The number of simultaneous lines is determined by the size of the internal space of the reservoir 18, and the outer diameter of the cutter blade 43 is determined by the depth of the reservoir 18 and the like. In the example of FIG. 2, the crushing mechanism 40 </ b> A is configured by arranging four cutter members 41 side by side.

  When the cutter members 41 are coupled, the cutter blades 43 of the adjacent cutter members 41 are mutually staggered such that the cutter blades 43 and 43 of the adjacent cutter members 41 and 41 are engaged with each other with a small clearance at the side surfaces thereof. It is arranged to become. The depth of engagement between the cutter blades 43 that are alternately engaged with each other is arbitrary, but the cutter blades 43 are arranged so as to be engaged with each other at an appropriate depth for efficient cutting and crushing. For example, the blade portions 47 are arranged so as to be 1/3 to 1/2 of the length (radial direction).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation shaft 42 provided on the plurality of cutter members 41 </ b> A to 41 </ b> D is led out to the outside via bearing portions 42 a and 42 b provided on the side wall of the reservoir portion 18. It is assumed that measures are taken to prevent leakage of the bearings 42a and 42b.

  A driving means 40B as shown in FIG. 3 is provided on the rotating shaft 42 on the bearing portion 42b side. The drive means 40B is composed of a rotation transmission means 44 provided on the rotary shaft 42 and a drive motor 46. The drive motor 46 is fixed to the bottom plate 20 c of the toilet body 20, and the rotational force of the motor shaft 46 a is transmitted to the plurality of cutter members 41 via the rotation transmission means 44. As shown in FIG. 5, the rotation transmission means 44 is arranged such that gears 44 </ b> A to 44 </ b> D provided on the respective rotation shafts of the cutter members 41 </ b> A to 41 </ b> D mesh with each other, and a gear 44 </ b> E related to the drive motor 46. Are in mesh with the middle gear, in this example gear 44B.

  When the rotation transmitting means 44 is configured in this way, when the gear 44E rotates clockwise as indicated by an arrow, the other gears 44A to 44D rotate as indicated by arrows. That is, the cutter members 41A and 41B act as a pair of cutter mechanisms, and rotate in a direction (biting direction) to bite each other. Similarly, these also function as a pair of cutter mechanisms between the other cutter members 41C and 41D, and rotate in a direction to bite objects.

  Further, since the cutter blades 43 are engaged with each other with a small gap, and each cutter blade 43 of the cutter member 41 is provided with a plurality of blade portions 47, the crushing mechanism portion 40A is a cross-cut mechanism portion. Function as. When the cutter member 41 is driven to rotate, the excrement and the like are cut and crushed while being bitten into the cutter blade 43, so that the excrement and the like are cut very finely and finely crushed. As a result, the tissue paper as well as the toilet paper dropped into the pool portion 18 are finely cut (cross cut).

  In addition to this, the pulverizing means 40, particularly the pulverizing mechanism 40A is in a state of being submerged in the trap water, so that the pulverizing mechanism 40A is driven in water. As a result, since the trap water permeates the excrement and is pulverized in a state where the trap water has permeated, the excrement and the like are further easily pulverized. If the sanitary product is water-soluble, it can be cut relatively easily by cutting using the action of the permeated water.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the control part 50 comprised by CPU etc. is distribute | arranged to the inner side (upper surface side) of the bottom face board 20c. Each drive of the solenoid valve 24 for discharge mentioned above, the solenoid valves 32 and 33 for water supply, the motor 46, etc. is controlled by the control part 50 for a predetermined time at a predetermined timing. A power switch 52 for the control unit 50 is provided on the main body back surface portion 20b, and is an upper surface portion of the main body, and an open / close switch 55 (described later) is provided on the lower surface of the toilet lid 23.

  The following mechanism is further employed in the simplified Western-style toilet 10 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, for the pulverized material for feeding predetermined compressed air to the reservoir 18 at a predetermined position above the reservoir 18 in the toilet body 20 and below the water supply port 28. A pressure feeding means 200 is provided. A reduced diameter portion 230 is provided above the pool portion 18 and slightly above the mounting position of the pressure feeding means 200. An opening / closing lid mechanism 210 is provided on the lower surface of the reduced diameter portion 230 so as to close the reduced diameter portion 230 and seal the pool portion 18.

  The pressure feeding means 200 can be constituted by an air compressor, and a feed pipe 204 for the air compressor 200 is led out to the accumulation portion 18 side through the attaching means 206. The attachment means 206 is provided above the surface of the trap water in the reservoir 18. The air compressor 200 is fixed to a mounting plate 202 provided in the back space 20 a of the toilet body 20.

  Even if the toilet body 20 is not equipped with the air compressor 200 but a mechanism that takes in compressed air from the outside of the simple Western-style toilet body, the same effect can be expected.

  The reduced diameter portion 230 is configured as an annular flange portion, and protrudes by a predetermined length toward the inner surface of the pool portion 18. The feed pipe 204 described above is located between the trap water in the reservoir 18 and the reduced diameter portion 230.

  As is clear from FIG. 1, the entire diameter-reduced portion 230 is provided to be slightly inclined toward the S-shaped trap portion 22. On the lower surface side of the reduced diameter portion 230, an opening / closing lid mechanism 210 that can close the reduced diameter portion 230 is provided. As the opening / closing lid mechanism 210, a rotating type and a sliding type are conceivable. The example of FIG. 1 is a rotation type.

  In this example, since it is a rotary type, it has a lid body 212 that constitutes the open / close lid mechanism 210, and one end of the lid body 212, in the example shown in the figure, the right end portion serves as a pivot shaft portion 214. The shaft 214 is pivotally supported with respect to the toilet body 20 so that the shaft 214 is positioned on the lower surface 232 of the reduced diameter portion 230. This pivotal support is pivotally supported by the toilet body 20 in a watertight manner.

  The lid body 212 is urged so that the peripheral surface thereof is in contact with the lower surface edge 234 of the reduced diameter portion 230. The lid body 212 has a shape along the lower surface edge portion 234, and normally, the rotation shaft portion 214 and the wall surface of the lower surface portion 232 are sealed so that the inside of the reservoir portion 18 can be sealed by contacting the lower surface edge portion 234. An urging spring 216 is wound between them. For this reason, the crushing means 40 is shielded by the lid body 212, and the occurrence of a sense of harm caused by the crushing means 40 being disposed can be suppressed.

  Here, as described above, the diameter-reduced portion 230 is provided so as to be inclined slightly toward the S-shaped trap portion 22 side, so that the lid body 212 itself constituting the opening / closing lid mechanism 210 is also located on the S-shaped trap portion 22 side. Mounted at an angle. If the lid main body 212 is tilted and attached in this manner, the excrement and the like (broken line illustration) dropped on the upper surface of the lid main body 212 as shown in FIG. 6 can be dropped into the reservoir 18.

  The above-described cleaning hose 240 has its tip end attached to the reservoir 18 at an angle such that cleaning water can be sprayed onto both the back side of the lid body 212 and a part of the peripheral surface of the reservoir 18. In this example, as shown in FIG. 1, in the vicinity of the rotation shaft portion 214 of the lid body 212, it is attached and fixed in a liquid-tight manner to the lower side thereof.

  A water supply hose 12 and a discharge hose 14 are connected to the toilet main body 20 configured in this way, and they are guided to the existing toilet 3.

FIG. 7 shows an outline of the existing toilet 3.
FIG. 7 illustrates an existing toilet 4 provided with a warm water flush toilet seat 80. In this case, a branch pipe 84 is connected to a water pipe (water supply pipe) 82, and a first branch port 86 is provided on the side of the water pipe 82 in the branch pipe 84. A hose 87 for a hot water washing toilet seat is provided here. Connected. A second branch port 88 is provided closer to the end than the first branch port 86, and a hose 89 for washing water is connected thereto.

  In this example, the branch pipe 84 having such a branch configuration is used, a check valve 90 is installed between the first and second branch ports 86 and 88, and the end portion of the branch pipe 84 is used. A connecting portion 92 for the water supply hose 12 is provided. A connecting portion 60 </ b> A provided at the tip of the water supply hose 12 is connected to the connecting portion 92. The check valve 90 is shown in abbreviated form so that its function can be understood.

  In this way, by providing a new branch pipe 84 and attaching the water supply hose 12 thereto, the cleaning water can be supplied to the simple western toilet 10. It should be noted that the check valve 90 is installed between the first and second branch ports 86 and 88 in the event that water from the hose 89 or the water supply hose 12 side flows backward and is supplied to the hot water washing toilet seat side. This is to prevent them from mixing with each other.

  A tank 96 filled with a disinfectant solution is inserted into the disinfectant solution connecting portion at the end of the branch pipe 84. By using the disinfectant, the sanitary condition of the simple Western toilet 10 as well as the existing toilet 3 can be improved. Further, the discharge hose 14 can be cleaned at the same time. The tank 96 is not necessarily provided, and may be provided as necessary.

  If the water distribution system of the existing toilet is diverted in this way, the simple Western-style toilet 10 can be used with a simple extension work that simply attaches the branch pipe 84.

  The discharge hose 14 may be piped so that it can be discharged directly into a discharge pipe, for example, a discharge pipe in the existing toilet 3, but the discharge hose 14 is simply guided to the toilet 4 and sewage is directly poured into the toilet 4 That is. Alternatively, the toilet 4 is provided with a discharge outlet, and a discharge hose 14 is connected to the toilet 4 to discharge the toilet 4.

  The embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is an example in which the connecting portion 114 provided in the toilet 4 is connected. In this case, the toilet body 108 is improved. As shown in FIG. 8, the toilet body 108 has a discharge pipe 110. The toilet body 108 is provided with a discharge outlet 112 on the upper side of the reservoir and connected on the back side thereof. The connecting portion 62 </ b> B of the discharge hose 14 is connected to the portion 114.

  When the existing toilet 4 is improved in this way, there is a difference in height between the simple toilet 10 and the existing toilet 4, and when the toilet 4 is located at a higher position, the fluid stays in the discharge hose 14. There is a fear. Therefore, the pressure of the air compressor 200 described above is adjusted so that the fluid can be completely discharged from the discharge hose 14.

  Although not shown, it is also possible to provide a closing lid that closes the upper portion of the reservoir including the discharge outlet 112 and close the closing lid in connection with the discharge process of the simplified western toilet 10. In this case, the closing lid is preferably an electric closing operation.

  Thus, when water supply and discharge are performed using the existing toilet 3, the supply and discharge pipes shown in FIG. 9 and below are used. FIG. 9 shows an example of the water supply hose 12, and FIG. 10 shows an example of the discharge hose 14. When one end portion 12a of the water supply hose 12 is an end portion connected to the water supply pipe side and the other end portion 12b is an end portion connected to the simple Western-style toilet 10, the one end portion 12a and the other end portion 12b are each non-returned. Connecting portions 60A and 60B with valves are attached.

  Similarly, the discharge hose 14 is provided with connecting portions 62A and 62B with check valves at one end 14a and the other end 14b. In this case, one end portion 14a is an end portion connected to the simplified Western style toilet 10, and the other end portion 14b is an end portion connected to the sewer pipe side or the like.

  Since the water supply hose 12 is used for the washing water supplied to the toilet body 20, a small-diameter vinyl hose or the like can be used. On the other hand, since the discharge hose 14 is a thing in which the flow material which grind | pulverized filth etc. flows through the pipe | tube, the vinyl hose etc. of the diameter same as the water supply hose 12 or a slightly thick diameter can be used. This is not for solidified waste, but for handling fluids mixed with wash water. FIG. 10 shows a case where a discharge hose 14 having a diameter larger than that of the water supply hose 12 is used.

  For example, if the pipe diameters of the water supply hose 12 and the discharge hose 14 are selected as described above, the water hose 12 is used as a discharge hose because the thickness is originally different, or the discharge hose 14 is mistaken for the water supply hose. It is possible to reliably prevent rudimentary misconnection work. Of course, not only when using pipes having different pipe diameters, but also when using pipes with the same pipe diameter, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. By imprinting the name on the surface of the hose, erroneous connection can be reliably prevented. Moreover, misconnection prevention can also be performed by making the joining metal fitting shape of a connection part non-common. In addition, the color of the water supply hose 12 and the discharge hose 14 can be changed to prevent erroneous connection by color.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the connecting portion 60 (62) with a check valve is provided with a valve operating chamber 64 having a rectangular cross section in the hollow inside of a main body 63, and a sphere 65 that acts as a valve here and a pressure spring for the same. 66, and the valve is opened when the water pressure acts in the direction of arrow a. This prevents backflow from both the simple Western toilet side and the water and sewage pipe side.

  On the other hand, in the other connecting portion 60B (62B) of the connecting portions 60 (62), when this is connected to the simple Western toilet side and, for example, the sewer pipe side of the existing toilet, Protruding parts (not shown) that recede against the pressing spring 66 are provided on the simple western toilet side and the sewer pipe side, respectively, so that when the connecting part 60 (62) is connected, the internal valve is opened. When the connection is established and the connection is removed, the internal valve is closed, and the liquid in the hose is configured not to leak to the outside.

  Therefore, with the connecting part 60A of the water supply hose 12 attached to the water supply pipe and the connecting part 60B attached to the toilet body 20 side, the water inside the pipe does not flow out even if the connecting part 60A is removed, and the other connecting part 60B is connected. Even if it is removed, the water inside the tube will not flow out. Similarly, even if the discharge hose 14 in use is removed, the sewage inside the pipe does not flow out.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of control in the control unit 50 provided in the simple Western-style toilet 10. The toilet body 20 described above is provided with a power switch 52 and an open / close switch 55, and their on / off signals are supplied to the control unit 50.

  The power switch 52 is turned on when the simplified Western toilet 10 is installed. On the other hand, the open / close switch 55 is a switch that is turned on / off in association with opening / closing of the toilet lid 23 for closing the upper portion of the toilet seat 21. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, in this example, an open / close switch 55 (open / close detection sensor switch or the like) is attached to the lower surface of the toilet lid 23 so as to face the toilet lid 23. In the example of FIG. 1, a drain switch 244 is further provided on the upper rear side of the toilet body 20.

  The drive states of the discharge solenoid valve 24, the water supply solenoid valve 32, the washing solenoid valve 33, the grinding drive motor 46, and the air compressor 200 described above are controlled by a control signal from the control unit 50 constituted by the CPU. The

  FIG. 13 shows an example of the control timing. In the case of this simple Western-style toilet 10, when the toilet is not used, the lid body 212 which is an open / close lid is in a closed state.

  The simple Western toilet 10 is used with the toilet lid 23 opened. The opening operation of the toilet lid 23 is detected by an open / close switch 55 (open / close detection sensor switch or the like) (FIG. 13A). Use while the toilet lid 23 is open. When the excrement falls on the lid main body 212, the lid main body 212 is opened by its own weight, and the excrement falls in the trap water of the reservoir 18 (see FIG. 6). When the excrement falls, the lid body 212 is automatically closed. This is because the lid body 212 is always urged toward the reduced diameter portion 230 side.

  When the defecation is finished, the toilet lid 23 is closed (FIG. 13A). When it is determined that the lid is closed, the excrement is crushed (cut and crushed) over a period Ta (FIG. 13B). Instead of detecting the operation of closing the toilet lid 23, a pulverization process may be started by operating a start switch corresponding to the open / close switch 55 by manual operation. The pulverization processing time Ta is selected so that filth, toilet paper, tissue paper and the like can be sufficiently pulverized. Usually, the time is set to 20 seconds or less, preferably about 5 to 10. This is for cutting and crushing sufficiently so that no solid matter remains.

  When the pulverization process is completed, the air compressor 200 is driven, and compressed air is fed into the reservoir 18 and pressurized (FIG. 13E). The pressurization processing time Tb is set to a time during which the internal pressure in the reservoir 18 rises to a predetermined value (for example, 2 atm). The predetermined value of the internal pressure refers to a pressure at which fluid can be reliably pumped and discharged into the existing toilet 4 via the discharge hose 14. The time Tb during which the internal pressure of the reservoir 18 is a predetermined value is set in advance, and this time Tb is counted.

  When the pressurization time Tb elapses, the discharge solenoid valve 24 is driven in a state where the air compressor 200 is driven, that is, in a state where compressed air is supplied into the reservoir 18 (FIG. 13D). When the discharge solenoid valve 24 is driven and the discharge port 27 is opened, the excrement (fluid) in the reservoir 18 is pumped together with the trapped water by compressed air and discharged to the discharge hose 14 side. Is done. Since the discharge hose 14 is connected to the existing toilet 4, the excrement and the like cut and crushed by the crushing means 40 are discharged to the existing toilet 4 side.

  Although the pumping period Tc varies depending on the installation length of the discharge hose 14, in order to prevent excrement and the like from remaining in the discharge hose 14, it is usually a relatively long time, for example, about 10 to 30 seconds. Is set.

  When the pumping period Tc elapses, the energization of the discharge solenoid valve 24 is released and the driving of the air compressor 200 is stopped (FIGS. 13D and 13E). Thus, the discharge port 27 is closed. Thereafter, the water supply solenoid valve 32 is operated to start water supply into the reservoir 18 (FIG. 13C). The water supply time Td is set to a water injection time in which the trap water in the reservoir 18 becomes a predetermined amount. Here, the predetermined amount refers to the amount of water stored until the water level of the trap water exceeds the bent portion of the S-shaped trap portion 22. When the water injection into the reservoir 18 is completed, the standby state is established.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 13C, the cleaning electromagnetic valve 33 is also operated in synchronization with the operation of the water supply electromagnetic valve 32 (not shown). When this electromagnetic valve 33 is actuated, water is injected into the reservoir 18 via the cleaning hose 240, specifically, injection onto the back surface of the lid body 212 and injection onto the wall surface of the reservoir 18 are performed. Since the back surface of the lid main body 212 and the wall surface of the reservoir 18 are cleaned by this washing water jet, the lid main body 212 and the reservoir 18 can always be kept clean.

  Rather than simultaneously supplying water into the reservoir 18 and cleaning the lid main body 212, etc., the cleaning process is performed before supplying water into the reservoir 18, that is, after completion of the pressure feed / discharge process of excreta and the like. The cleaning water at that time may be pumped and discharged at the same time. In this case, water supply into the reservoir 18 is performed after the electromagnetic valve 24 is closed thereafter.

  When the portable simple toilet 10 is moved or removed, it is preferable that the trap water in the reservoir 18 is discharged. This draining process is performed independently of the above-described discharge process. In that case, as shown in FIG. 14, the drain switch 244 is turned on to operate the air compressor 200 (FIGS. 14A and 14B). By the start of the air compressor 200, the inside of the reservoir 18 is pressurized (FIG. 14C). When the pressurization process over the period Tf is completed, the discharge electromagnetic valve 24 is operated to open the discharge port for a predetermined period Tg (FIG. 13B).

  The trapping water can be discharged from the pool portion 18 by this pressure and pressure feeding. Then, the discharge solenoid valve 24 is closed a little after the time ΔTf has elapsed since the driving of the air compressor 200 was stopped. By doing so, the trap water discharge process (water drain process) is completed. Here, the period Tf may be set to the above-described time Tb, and the period Tg may be set to the time Tc.

  7 and 8 show an example in which the connecting portion 114 is provided in the existing toilet 4 and the discharge hose 14 is connected thereto, but the simplest example is that the discharge hose 14 itself is connected to the lower surface of the toilet seat 118 as shown in FIG. Is to be led into the toilet main body 108. In this case, the discharge pressure can be reduced by widening the tip of the discharge hose 14 as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 17 shows another combination example of the cutter member 41. In the case of FIG. 2, all four are substantially straight cutter members 41. Here, the “substantially straight type” is a generic term for the case where the cutter blades 43 constituting the cutter member 41 are configured with the same size (outer shape).

  FIG. 17 shows a case where the crushing mechanism 40A is configured using this substantially straight cutter member and a so-called substantially pincushion cutter member. Here, the substantially pincushion type means that the size (outer diameter) of the cutter blade 43 constituting the cutter member 41 is directed in the longitudinal direction (rotational axis direction), and both ends of the cutter member 41 have a large diameter. The types of cutter members that change so that the diameter of the cutter member 41 gradually decreases from the side to the center of the cutter member 41 are collectively shown.

  In the example of FIG. 17, the first and third cutter members 41A and 41C are substantially straight types, and the second and fourth cutter members 41B and 41D are substantially pincushion types. Also in this case, the length of the fourth cutter member 41D is shorter than the other ones according to the shape of the reservoir portion 18. Needless to say, the adjacent cutter members 41 are arranged such that the respective cutter blades 43 are engaged with each other.

  By using the cutter member 41 having a different shape in this way, the degree of engagement of the cutter blade 43 changes along the longitudinal direction. In this example, the meshing at the center is shallow and gradually becomes deeper toward both ends. For this reason, it is deeper than the case of Example 1 in which the cutter members 41 having the straight mold shape are engaged with each other at substantially the center of the portion where the cutter member 41 having the substantially pincushion shape and the straight cutter member 41 are engaged with each other. Since a recess is formed, cutting and crushing can be performed efficiently.

  FIG. 18 shows an example of a crushing mechanism portion 40A that employs another example of combination of the cutter members 41. In this example, as shown in FIG. 18A, all of the four cutter members 41 use substantially pincushion type cutter members. In order to clarify the meshing state, the odd-numbered cutter members 41B and 41D are indicated by broken lines in FIG. 18A.

  Also in this case, the engagement state of the cutter member 41 is the shallowest at the center and deepest at both ends as shown in FIG. 18A. For this reason, a deeper recess 900 (see FIG. 18B) than that shown in the first and second embodiments is formed at a substantially central portion of a portion where the substantially pincushion-shaped cutter members 41 are engaged with each other. The outer shape of the tooth tip of the cutter member 41, which is substantially a pincushion type, forms a curved shape as a whole from both ends toward the center. For this reason, excrement etc. become easy to be gathered in the recess 900, and excrement etc. can be cut and crushed effectively.

  FIG. 19 is a modification of the place where the crushing means 40 is attached. In the case of FIG. 1, the crushing means 40 is attached to the pool portion 18, and the plurality of cutter members 41 are juxtaposed in the horizontal direction.

  The embodiment of FIG. 19 shows a case where the crushing means 40 is provided in the vicinity of the opening (connecting portion) 22 a of the S-shaped trap portion 22 connected to the reservoir portion 18. In this case, the pulverizing means 40 is juxtaposed in the vertical direction. The number of simultaneous cutter members 41 constituting the crushing mechanism 40A, the shape of the cutter member 41 (the outer diameter of the cutter blade 43), the number of the cutter blades 43, and the like also differ depending on the diameter and the opening area of the opening 22a.

  In this example, a case where the crushing mechanism portion 40A is configured by using two (a pair) of substantially straight cutter members 41 is shown. The cutter member 41 is approximately half or less than the length in the case of FIG. The driving means 40B of the crushing mechanism 40A is arranged outside the toilet body 20 as in the case of FIG.

  Thus, even if the crushing means 40 is arranged in the opening 22a of the S-shaped trap portion 22, the excrement and the like can be cut and crushed similarly to FIG. 1, so that the excrement and the like do not clog the discharge pipe or the like. . In this case, since the pulverizing means 40 must be smaller than that in FIG. 1, the pulverization processing time Ta is set longer (approximately twice as long) as in FIG. Will do. This pulverization process can be performed simultaneously with the discharge of excrement and the trapping process of trapped water.

  FIG. 20 shows another example of the crushing means 40. In this example, the pair of guide members 70 (70A, 70B) and the cutter member 41 (41A, 41B) constitute the crushing mechanism 40A. The crushing means 40 is provided in the pool portion 18.

  As shown also in FIG. 21, a pair of guide members 70A and 70B are disposed opposite each other with a predetermined gap therebetween so as to face each other, and the pair of cutter members 41A and 41B are rotatably disposed therebetween.

  As shown in FIG. 22, one guide member 70A has a plurality of guide plates 48 (48A, 48b,...) Holding a predetermined gap (pitch) in the longitudinal direction (the rotational axis direction of the cutter member 41). Arranged. The mutual fixation is performed by a fixed guide shaft 45a shown in FIG.

  Similarly, the other guide member 70B with respect to this guide member 70A has a plurality of guide plates 49 (49a, 49b,...), Which are arranged at a predetermined pitch, and are fixed to each other by a fixed guide shaft 45b. Is done. Then, the guide plate 49 is arranged in a state shifted from the guide plate 48 of one guide member 70A by a half pitch. Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the guide plates 48 and 49 are tapered portions 51a and 51b with their upper portions facing inward. The pair of cutter members 41A and 41B are both substantially straight cutter members.

  The rotating shaft 42a of one cutter member 41A is pivotally supported by both end guide plates 48a and 48n of one guide member 70A. Therefore, the part corresponding to the rotating shaft 42a of the plurality of guide plates existing in the both end guide plates 48a and 48b has a hole diameter that does not hinder the rotation of the rotating shaft 42a in this example. You may cut out the part of the rotating shaft 42a. The arrangement pitch of the plurality of cutter blades 43 constituting the cutter member 41 </ b> A is regulated so as to be within a gap of the guide plates 48 (48 a, 48 b, 48 c,.

  Similarly, even in the other cutter member 41B, the rotation shaft 42b is pivotally supported by the both end guide plates 49a and 49n constituting the other guide member 70B, and the plurality of cutter blades 43 are provided in the gap between the guide plates 49. The arrangement pitch is regulated so as to fit in a state with a small clearance.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the cutter blade 43 of one cutter member 41A and the cutter blade 43 of the other cutter member 41B are arranged so as to partially overlap each other. As the blade part (blade edge) shape of the cutter blade 43, the saw tooth as shown in FIG. 21 is exemplified, but it is not limited to this.

  Even when the crushing mechanism 40A is configured in this way, a small gap is formed between the guide plate 48 and the cutter blade 43 (between the guide plate 49 and the cutter blade 43), and the cutter member Since 41A and 41B are partially overlapped with each other, a small gap is also formed between the side surfaces of the overlapping cutter blades 43 and 43, so that the pair of cutter members 41A and 41B are connected to each other. By rotating in the biting direction, excreta and the like can be finely cut (cross cut) and crushed into a fluid.

  Since the guide plates 48 and 49 facing each other are formed with tapered portions 51a and 51b that fall toward the cutter members 41A and 41B, excrement and the like that have fallen into the pool portion 18 easily gather in the central portion. ing. Thereby, excrement etc. can be cut and crushed effectively.

  All of the embodiments so far are cases where the present invention is applied to a portable simple Western-style toilet. In the following, the present invention is applied to a fixed Western-style toilet.

Even in this case, the above-described crushing means 40 is disposed in the reservoir portion 18. FIG. 23 shows a case where the crushing means 40 including the crushing mechanism 40A shown in the first embodiment is applied.
On the upper portion of the reservoir portion 180, a closing lid 250 that closes a part of the reservoir portion 180 is provided. The central portion of the closing lid 250 is a predetermined opening 250a, and the flange portion 255 is provided on the upper and lower end surfaces of the other end of the closing lid 250 so that it can be attached to the inner peripheral wall 108a of the toilet body 108.

  By sticking the flange portion 255 to the inner peripheral wall 108a using an adhesive or the like, the closing lid 250 can be attached (fixed) to the toilet body 108. By positioning the opening 250 a at the substantially center of the closing lid 250, excrement and the like can be dropped into the pool portion 180 without contacting the closing lid 250.

  The closing lid 250 can be detachably attached to the inner peripheral wall 108a. By doing this, it is possible to remove the closing lid 250 and periodically clean it, so that it is hygienic.

  A controller 300 having a CPU is attached to the upper part of the toilet body 108. The control unit 300 executes control for the crushing means 40 and the like. FIG. 24 is a control circuit system showing an example thereof, and ON / OFF signals of the power switch 225 and the open / close switch 226 (see FIG. 24) are supplied to the controller 300. In the control unit 300, the electromagnetic motor 117 and the electromagnetic valve 113 are controlled including the drive motor 46.

  FIG. 26 shows an example of the control timing, and it is assumed that the closing lid 250 is normally controlled in the open state. As the toilet lid 230 is opened and closed, the open / close switch 226 is activated (ON / OFF) (FIGS. 25A and 25B). Defecation is performed while the toilet lid 230 is empty, and then the toilet lid 230 is closed. When it is detected that the toilet lid 230 is closed, the closing lid 250 is closed (FIG. 25C). When this closure is detected, the drive motor 46 is energized and the crushing process is started (FIG. 25D). The crushing process here is the cutting and crushing process as described above.

  When the pulverization process for a predetermined time is completed, the electromagnetic valve 113 is opened, and the closing process for the closing lid 250 is performed (FIG. 25E). When the cleaning process is completed, the closing lid 250 is opened (FIG. 25C). Thereafter, an existing operation button (not shown) installed in the Western-style toilet is operated to perform discharge processing (including trap processing of trap water) on excrement and the like (FIG. 25F).

  Thus, even when this invention is applied to a fixed existing Western-style toilet, as described above, toilet paper, tissue paper, excrement containing used sanitary goods, etc. can be cut and crushed and discharged. It is possible to clear clogged sewer pipes.

  FIG. 26 shows another example of a fixed Western-style toilet to which the present invention is applied. The embodiment shown in FIG. 26 employs a rotary opening / closing lid mechanism 260 in place of the closing lid 250. In this example, a reduced diameter portion 270 is provided on the upper side of the reservoir portion 180, and an open / close lid mechanism 260 is provided on the lower surface of the reduced diameter portion 270 so that the reduced diameter portion 270 can be closed and the reservoir portion 180 can be sealed. Provided.

  The reduced diameter portion 270 is configured as an annular flange portion, and protrudes by a predetermined length toward the inner surface of the pool portion 180. As is clear from FIG. 26, the reduced diameter portion 270 is provided so that the entire portion thereof is slightly inclined toward the discharge portion 182. On the lower surface side of the reduced diameter portion 270, an opening / closing lid mechanism 260 that can close the reduced diameter portion 270 is provided.

  The opening / closing lid mechanism 260 is a rotary type and has a lid main body 262 constituting the opening / closing lid mechanism 260. One end of the lid main body 262, in the example shown in the figure, is a rotation shaft portion 264. The pivot shaft 264 is pivotally supported with respect to the toilet body 108 so that the pivot shaft 264 is positioned on the lower surface portion 272 of the reduced diameter portion 270. The shaft support is pivotally supported by the toilet body 108 in a watertight manner.

  The lid body 262 is urged so that the peripheral surface thereof is in contact with the lower surface edge 274 of the reduced diameter portion 270. The lid body 262 has a shape along the lower surface edge portion 274, and normally, the rotation shaft portion 264 and the wall surface of the lower surface portion 272 are sealed so that the inside of the reservoir portion 180 can be sealed by contacting the lower surface edge portion 274. A biasing spring 276 is wound around the gap.

  When the fixed Western-style toilet is configured in this way, when excrement falls on the lid main body 262, the distal end side of the lid main body 262 is opened by its own weight, and the excrement falls into the trap water of the reservoir 180. When the excrement falls, the lid main body 262 automatically returns to the original position by the action of the spring and closes the upper portion of the reservoir 180.

  When the cleaning operation button (flash valve operation button) 280 is operated, the cleaning water flows around the inner peripheral surface 108a of the toilet body 108 through the upper surface of the lid main body 262 and into the reservoir 180. Since the operation state of the cleaning operation button 280 is managed by the control unit 30, when this cleaning process is performed, the pulverizing unit 40 is driven at the same time, together with the excrement and cleaning water dropped on the pulverizing unit 40. The toilet paper that flows in is crushed (cut and crushed). Since sanitary products and the like flow into the reservoir 180 together with the cleaning water, if the pulverizing means 40 is driven for a predetermined time in connection with the cleaning process, these can be cut, crushed and discharged.

  26 shows an example in which the lid main body 262 is provided so as to be substantially horizontal in the closed state. However, as described above, the reduced diameter portion 270 is provided to be slightly inclined toward the discharge portion 182 side. Therefore, if the lid main body 262 itself constituting the opening / closing lid mechanism 260 is attached to be inclined to the discharge portion 182 side, the excrement dropped on the upper surface of the lid main body 262 is not left but dropped into the reservoir portion 180. be able to.

  In addition, in place of the flush valve 280 in the path of a water supply pipe (not shown) provided between the washing water tank 5 and the toilet body 108, a valve device member that can be remotely operated from the control unit 300 ( An electromagnetic valve or the like may be provided. In this case, the driving start timing of the crushing means 40 and the cleaning water supply timing can be appropriately changed as in the other embodiments. As a result, the pulverizing means 40 operates for a predetermined time, and the cleaning water can be supplied after the pulverization process is completed.

  Also in this embodiment, it goes without saying that the various pulverization mechanisms shown in the other embodiments can be applied to the pulverization mechanism 40A. The same applies to the opening / closing lid mechanism 260. In short, when the present invention is applied to a fixed Western-style toilet, by arranging at least one set of the above-described cutter member 41 in the reservoir portion 180 of the toilet main body 108, defecation and toilet paper collected in the reservoir portion 180, It can grind filth such as used sanitary products. In addition, by providing the opening / closing lid mechanism 260 above the reservoir portion 180, the occurrence of a sense of harm to the user of the Western style toilet device caused by the cutter member 41 being disposed in the reservoir portion 180 is suppressed. can do.

  Needless to say, the various crushing means 40 shown in Examples 2 to 5 can be applied to the fixed Western toilets shown in Examples 6 and 7.

  In this invention, it can be used for an existing Western-style toilet or a simple Western-style toilet as a care assisting device such as a care facility or home care.
