Description

  The present invention relates to a sanitary washing device and a toilet device, and more specifically to a sanitary washing device for washing a user's “butt” or the like seated on a Western-style sitting toilet with water and a toilet device equipped with the same.

  The sanitary washing apparatus is mainly used in a form in which a water discharge nozzle for injecting washing water is housed therein so as to be able to move forward and backward, and is installed at the upper rear portion of a seated toilet. If such a sanitary washing device is equipped with a “warm air drying function” that blows warm air to dry the user ’s “wet” etc., it will be even easier to use and save resources by reducing the amount of toilet paper used. It is also effective for the conversion.

For example, an automatic local cleaning device is disclosed in which an opening through which a water discharge nozzle advances and retreats and an opening through which hot air is blown from a hot air duct are adjacent to each other, and each of these openings is covered with a lid that can be opened and closed (patent document). 1). However, since the opening from which the warm air blows and the opening / closing lid are provided near the front of the housing of the sanitary washing device, when washing water by spraying water from the water discharge nozzle to the user's butt, etc. Moisture, etc. may be applied during small use in the standing position. Since the warm air opening / closing lid is opened only when the hot air drying is performed, if the hot air drying is not performed for a long period of time, moisture adhering around the opening / closing lid evaporates and is contained. If the component or the like remains, the opening / closing lid may adhere and become difficult to open.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the sanitary washing apparatus which prevented sticking of the opening-and-closing board provided in the blower outlet of the warm air duct, and a toilet apparatus provided with the same can be provided.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the main configuration of a sanitary washing device according to this embodiment.
The sanitary washing device 100 according to this embodiment includes human body detection sensors 420 and 500, a nozzle unit 610, a hot air drying unit (hot air generator) 620, a driving unit 472, and a toilet lid opening / closing unit that opens and closes the toilet lid. 720 and a toilet seat opening / closing unit 780 for opening and closing the toilet seat. The human body detection sensors 420 and 500 detect a user who is near the sanitary washing device 100 or a user who is seated on the toilet seat. The nozzle unit 610 has a water discharge nozzle that can be moved forward and backward from the main body of the sanitary washing device, and sprays water toward the “butt” of the user sitting on the toilet seat. The hot air drying unit 620 is dried by blowing hot air toward the “butt” of the user who is also sitting on the toilet seat. The driving means 472 opens and closes the hot air damper (first opening / closing plate) provided in front of the hot air outlet of the hot air drying unit 620. The operation of each of these elements is controlled by the control unit 640. In addition, a signal from the operation unit 900 such as a remote controller is input to the control unit 640 so that an operation according to a user instruction can be performed. In the present embodiment, the control unit 640 can execute the first control mode and the second control mode.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the contents of the first and second control modes.
The first control mode is executed when the user instructs warm air drying. That is, when the user turns on a switch for drying hot air provided in the operation unit 900 (step S102), the control unit 640 controls the driving unit 472 so as to be provided in front of the hot air outlet. The hot air damper is opened (step S104). Then, by controlling the hot air drying unit 620, the hot air is blown out toward the “butt” of the user (step S106). Note that step S106 may be executed before S104 or may be executed simultaneously. In other words, the hot air damper may be opened after the hot air blowing is started, or the hot air damper may be opened simultaneously with the hot air blowing.

When the user turns off the hot air drying switch (step S108), the control unit 640 stops the hot air drying unit 620 (step S110) and controls the driving means 472 to close the hot air damper (step S112). ). In this case as well, step S112 may be executed before S110 or may be executed simultaneously.
According to the first control mode described above, the user sitting on the toilet seat can operate the hot air drying unit 620 to dry the “tail” or the like by operating a switch such as a remote controller.

On the other hand, in the second control mode, the hot air damper is opened and closed without being based on a warm air drying instruction from the user.
That is, when the sticking prevention trigger that does not directly correspond to the warm air drying instruction by the user is turned on (step S202), the control unit 640 controls the driving unit 472 and is provided in front of the warm air outlet. The hot air damper is opened (step S204) and then closed (step S206).
According to the second control mode, the hot air damper can be opened and closed even when the user does not execute hot air drying. As a result, for example, even when the user of the sanitary washing device 100 does not turn on the hot air drying switch for a long period of time, the hot air damper provided in front of the hot air outlet can be prevented from sticking.

  As described in detail later, the sticking prevention trigger in the second control mode is, for example, when a human body is detected by the human body detection sensors 420 and 500, or when it is not detected after the detection, and the toilet seat or the toilet lid is opened. In the case of being performed or closed, the elapse of a predetermined time or the arrival of a predetermined time can be cited.

  When the first control mode and the second control mode overlap, for example, when the sticking prevention trigger is turned on during execution of the first control mode, the second control mode is used. It is sufficient to prohibit the execution of. Further, as will be described in detail later, for example, the second control mode may be prohibited even when the user is cleaning “wet” or the like with the water discharge nozzle.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to specific examples.
FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view showing the appearance of the toilet apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Moreover, FIG. 4 represents the state which opened the toilet seat 200 and the toilet lid 300 of this toilet apparatus.
FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the central portion of the main body 400 viewed from the front.

  The toilet apparatus of this specific example includes a Western-style seat toilet 800 and a sanitary washing device 100 provided thereon. The sanitary washing device 100 includes a main body 400, a toilet seat 200, and a toilet lid 300. The toilet seat 200 and the toilet lid 300 are pivotally supported with respect to the main body 400 so as to be freely opened and closed.

The main body 400 incorporates a functional unit as described above with reference to FIG. That is, it is detected by the human body detection sensor 420 that the user is sitting on the toilet seat 200, and a water discharge nozzle (not shown) is advanced from the main body 400 into the bowl of the toilet bowl 800 according to the user's switch operation, Water can be jetted from a spout provided near the tip of the user to wash the “butt” of the user sitting on the toilet seat. In the present specification, “water” includes not only cold water but also heated hot water.
Further, the main body 400 is provided with a hot air drying unit that blows hot air toward a “buttock” of a user sitting on the toilet seat 200 to dry it.

  Furthermore, the main body 400 is appropriately provided with various mechanisms such as a “deodorizing unit” and an “indoor heating unit”, and on the side thereof, an exhaust port 440 from the deodorizing unit and an exhaust port 450 from the indoor heating unit are provided. Is provided as appropriate. It is also possible to provide an “automatic opening / closing function” that automatically opens the toilet lid 300 upon detection of the approach of the user and automatically closes the toilet lid 300 when the user disappears. Further, an “automatic water washing function” for flowing the washing water to the toilet bowl 800 may be added to the sanitary washing device 100. This is a function of providing a drive mechanism for operating a drainage mechanism of a low tank or a flush valve, outputting a signal for operating this drive mechanism from the main body 400, and automatically flowing flush water to the toilet bowl 800.

  These functions can be executed and set by appropriately operating an operation unit (not shown) provided in the main body 400, and can also be executed by operating a remote control installed on the wall surface of the toilet. Is possible.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a specific example of a remote controller.
The remote controller 900 of this specific example includes a “tail” switch 902, a “soft” switch 904, a “bidet” switch 906, a “stop” switch 908, a “dry” switch 910, and the like. When the “tail” switch 902, the “soft” switch 904, or the “bidet” switch 906 is operated, the water discharge nozzle advances from the main body portion 400, and water is sprayed on the user's “tail” or the like. When the “dry” switch 910 is operated, the first control mode is executed. That is, the hot air damper is opened and the hot air blows out toward the “butt”. When the “stop” switch 908 is operated, cleaning by the water discharge nozzle and hot air drying are stopped.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a recessed portion 410 is formed on the upper surface of the main body 400, and the human body detection sensor 500 is provided so as to be partially embedded in the recessed portion 410. When the toilet lid 300 is closed, the human body detection sensor 500 detects the presence of the user through the transmission window 310 provided in the vicinity of the base.

  In this specific example, as shown in FIG. 4, the main body 400 has a shape that is retracted in accordance with the opening end of the bowl 810 of the toilet bowl 800. That is, the main body 400 is installed at the upper rear side of the toilet 800, and its front surface slightly protrudes toward the bowl 810 from the open end of the bowl 810 along the shape of the open end of the bowl 810 of the toilet 800. The curved concave surface 402 is curved in a concave shape. Here, “rearward” means a side on which a low tank, a flush valve, etc. are usually installed as shown in FIG. 3, and means a side far from the user in a normal use mode.

  On the left and right sides of the curved concave surface 402, extending portions 404 extending forward along the opening end of the bowl 810 are provided. The curved concave surface 402 has a shape in which the vicinity of the center is high and gradually decreases as the left and right extending portions 404 are approached.

  An opening (second opening) 402B that advances and retracts the water discharge nozzle and a nozzle damper (second opening / closing plate) 460 as a closing member that covers the opening 402B are provided at a high portion near the center of the curved concave surface 402. A warm air damper (first opening / closing plate) 470 is provided in the right side opening (first opening) 402A.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the open / close state of the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470. These dampers 460 and 470 are all supported to be openable and closable, and in the standby state, as shown in FIG. 7A, both are closed. Then, when the water discharge nozzle advances in order to wash the “buttock” of the user sitting on the toilet seat 200, the nozzle damper 460 is opened as shown in FIG. 7B. In addition, when the first control mode is executed and hot air is blown from the hot air drying unit 620 toward the user's “tail” or the like, as shown in FIG. 7C, the hot air damper 470 is used. Opens. Similarly, when the second control mode is executed, as shown in FIG. 7C, the hot air damper 470 is opened. However, the opening angle of the hot air damper 470 in the first control mode and the opening angle of the hot air damper 470 in the second control mode are not necessarily the same. For example, the opening angle of the hot air damper 470 in the second control mode may be made smaller than the opening angle of the hot air damper 470 in the first control mode. Even if it does in this way, the effect which prevents sticking of the warm air damper 470 is acquired, and also it suppresses an operation sound and makes it not notice a user by ending opening and closing with a short stroke in a short time. Can do.

8 to 14 are flowcharts showing specific examples of the second control mode.
In the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 8, when the human body detection sensors 420 and 500 detect a human body as a sticking prevention trigger (step S202), the control unit 640 controls the driving means 472 to open the hot air damper (step S204). ), And then closes (step S206). More specifically, for example, when the human body detection sensor 500 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) provided on the upper surface of the main body 400 detects a user approaching the sanitary washing device, the second control mode is started. can do. At this time, if the toilet seat 200 or the toilet lid 300 is closed, the warm air damper 470 can be opened and closed without being noticed by the user. Further, since the second control mode can be completed quickly, there is little possibility of overlapping with the operation of the water discharge nozzle by the user's operation.
Alternatively, the second control mode may be started when the human body detection sensor 420 (see FIGS. 3 to 5) detects a user sitting on the toilet seat. Also in this case, the hot air damper 470 can be opened and closed without the user being aware. If the second control mode is promptly executed, there is little possibility of overlapping with the operation of the water discharge nozzle by the user's operation.
According to this specific example, since the second control mode can be executed every time the toilet device is used, the hot air damper 470 can be reliably prevented from sticking.

  In the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 9, when the human body detection sensors 420 and 500 detect a human body (step S202A) as a sticking prevention trigger and the human body is no longer detected (step S202B), the control unit 640 is driven. The hot air damper is opened by controlling the means 472 (step S204) and then closed (step S206). For example, the second control mode can be started when the seating sensor (see FIGS. 3 to 5) detects the user sitting on the toilet seat and then becomes non-detected again. In this case, the second control mode is started when the user stands up from the toilet seat.

  On the other hand, as a human body detection sensor 420 (see FIGS. 3 to 5), a seating sensor and a distance measuring sensor (or pyroelectric sensor) are combined, and this seating sensor becomes non-detected after detecting a user sitting on the toilet seat, Furthermore, the second control mode can be started when the distance measuring sensor (or pyroelectric sensor) is also not detected. In this case, the second control mode is started when the user who has stood up from the toilet seat leaves the toilet. Also in the specific example shown in FIG. 9, the open / close of the hot air damper 470 can be executed without being noticed by the user. Moreover, there is little possibility of overlapping with the operation of the water discharge nozzle by the user's operation.

  According to this specific example, the second control mode can be executed immediately after the sanitary washing device 100 is used. Therefore, even when water or small water is applied around the hot air damper 470, the hot air damper 470 can be operated. Water or small water can be removed by opening and closing, and sticking of the hot air damper 470 can be more reliably prevented. Also in this specific example, since the second control mode can be executed every time the toilet device is used, it is effective for preventing the hot air damper 470 from sticking.

Next, in the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 10, the second control mode is started when the toilet seat 200 or the toilet lid 300 is opened (step S202) as a sticking prevention trigger. That is, in the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 1, a toilet lid opening / closing unit 720 for opening and closing the toilet lid and a toilet seat opening / closing unit 780 for opening and closing the toilet seat are provided. These units 720 and 780 can detect the positions or operation states of the toilet seat 200 and the toilet lid 300, respectively. Therefore, for example, when the toilet seat 200 or the toilet lid 300 is automatically opened by the operation of the toilet lid opening / closing unit 720 or the toilet seat opening / closing unit 780, or when the user manually opens the toilet seat 200 or the toilet lid 300, These can be detected and used as a sticking prevention trigger. Even if a mechanism for automatically opening and closing the toilet seat 200 and the toilet lid 300 is not provided, a similar sticking prevention trigger can be obtained by providing a sensor mechanism for detecting the position or operation state thereof.
For example, if the second control mode is executed when the toilet seat 200 is opened, an effect that the user can visually confirm the sticking prevention operation of the hot air damper 470 is obtained.

Next, in the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 11, the second control mode is started when the toilet seat 200 or the toilet lid 300 is closed as a sticking prevention trigger (step S202). That is, contrary to what has been described above with reference to FIG. 10, for example, when the toilet seat 200 or the toilet lid 300 is automatically closed by the operation of the toilet lid opening / closing unit 720 or the toilet seat opening / closing unit 780, or when the user When the toilet lid 300 is manually closed, these can be detected and used as a sticking prevention trigger.
Also in this specific example, since the second control mode can be executed immediately after the sanitary washing device 100 is used, the hot air damper 470 is opened and closed even when water or small water is splashed around the hot air damper 470. Thus, water and small water can be removed, and the hot air damper 470 can be more reliably prevented. Further, in this specific example, the hot air damper 470 can be opened and closed without being noticed by the user. Moreover, there is little possibility of overlapping with the operation of the water discharge nozzle by the user's operation.

  Next, in the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 12, the second control mode is started when the timer count ends (step S202) as the sticking prevention trigger. That is, the control unit 640 described above with reference to FIG. 1 incorporates a timer. For example, the human body detection sensor 420 determines that the use of the sanitary washing device has ended due to non-detection of the human body, and counts the elapsed time since the end of use. Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the second control mode is started. In this case, for example, the second control mode can be prohibited when the water discharge nozzle has advanced or when hot air drying is being performed. On the other hand, in the present specific example, when the “bottom” cleaning is instructed by the user's operation while the second control mode is being executed, the second control mode ends. It is desirable to wait until the “wet” is cleaned. In this specific example, when the warm air drying is instructed by the user's operation during the execution of the second control mode, the warm air drying sequence can be started immediately.

  According to this specific example, for example, even when the sanitary washing device 100 is not used for a long period of time, the second control mode can be periodically executed by counting the timer, and the hot air damper 470 can be prevented from sticking. The elapsed time from the execution of the second control mode may be counted by a timer, and the second control mode may be started again when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  Next, in the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 13, the second control mode is started when a predetermined time comes as a sticking prevention trigger (step S <b> 202). That is, a clock is built in the control unit 640 described above with reference to FIG. 1, and this is checked. When the predetermined time arrives, the second control mode is started. As the time set according to this specific example, for example, a time zone in which the use frequency of the sanitary washing device 100 is the lowest can be set once a day or once a week. In this way, the hot air damper 470 can be opened and closed without being noticed by the user, and there is little possibility of overlapping with the operation of the water discharge nozzle by the user's operation. Note that the control unit 640 may learn the usage frequency of the sanitary washing device 100 and automatically set the time zone with the lowest usage frequency as the sticking prevention trigger.

  Also in this specific example, the second control mode can be prohibited, for example, when the water discharge nozzle has advanced or when hot air drying is being performed. On the other hand, in the present specific example, when the “bottom” cleaning is instructed by the user's operation while the second control mode is being executed, the second control mode ends. It is desirable to wait until the “wet” is cleaned. In this specific example, when the warm air drying is instructed by the user's operation during the execution of the second control mode, the warm air drying sequence can be started immediately.

  According to this specific example, for example, even when the sanitary washing device 100 is not used for a long period of time, the second control mode can be executed periodically, and the hot air damper 470 can be prevented from sticking.

  Next, in the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 14, hot air or cold air is blown out in the second control mode. That is, as described above with reference to FIGS. 8 to 13, when the sticking prevention trigger that does not directly correspond to the warm air drying instruction by the user is turned on (step S202), the warm air damper 470 is opened (step S204). Then, hot air or cold air is blown out from the hot air drying unit 620 (step S208). Since the hot air drying unit 620 can individually control the electric fan and the heater, it is possible to generate hot air by using these simultaneously and generate cold air by operating only the electric fan. . By blowing out the warm air or the cold air, the effect of removing water adhering around the hot air damper 470 is promoted. Note that hot air or cold air may be blown out (step S208) before the hot air damper 470 is opened (step S204). In this way, the warm air or the cool air vigorously passes through a slight gap where the hot air damper 470 starts to open, and thus the effect of blowing off moisture adhering to the periphery of the hot air damper 470 is promoted.

Thereafter, the hot air or the cold air is stopped (step S210), and the hot air damper 470 is closed (step S206). Also here, the hot air damper 470 may be closed (step S206), and then the hot air or the cold air may be stopped (step S210). In this way, since the warm air or the cool air vigorously passes through a small gap before the hot air damper 470 is completely closed, the effect of blowing off moisture adhering to the periphery of the hot air damper 470 is promoted.
Hereinafter, an example of the second control mode in the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 15 is a timing chart illustrating an example of the second control mode.
This embodiment corresponds to the specific example described above with reference to FIG. That is, when the human body detection sensor 420 (see FIGS. 3 to 5) detects that the user is seated on the toilet seat 200, the second control mode is executed, and the hot air damper is opened and closed (A). As can be seen from comparison with the waveform during the hot air drying executed later, in the second control mode, the hot air damper 470 is not completely opened, and the opening angle is set to be relatively small.

Thereafter, the user operates the “wet” cleaning switch to start cleaning with the water discharge nozzle, the water power is changed by the user, and the “drying” switch is operated. Then, the water discharge nozzle is retracted and stored, and subsequently, the warm air damper 470 is opened, and the warm air motor and the warm air heater are operated to blow the warm air. Thereby, interference with the warm air damper 470 and the nozzle damper 460 is prevented.
Thereafter, the user operates the “wet” switch again, and the hot air fan and the hot air heater are stopped accordingly, and the hot air damper 470 is closed. Thereafter, the water discharge nozzle advances and cleaning is resumed. Also at this time, interference between the hot air damper 470 and the nozzle damper 460 is prevented.

  As described above, the second control mode can be executed by setting the seating on the toilet seat 200 as a sticking prevention trigger. In this way, when the user is seated, the hot air damper 470 is once opened and closed, so that it can be reliably closed. Therefore, for example, even when the hot air damper 470 is slightly opened when the sanitary washing device 100 is cleaned and left in that state, the second control mode is executed by the user sitting, The wind damper 470 can be reliably returned to the origin position of the operation.

  FIG. 16 is a timing chart showing another embodiment of the second control mode. This embodiment corresponds to the specific example described above with reference to FIG. That is, the human body detection sensor 420 (see FIGS. 3 to 5) detects that the user is seated on the toilet seat 200, and then the user operates the “wet” cleaning switch to start cleaning with the water discharge nozzle. The water is changed by the user and the “stop” switch is operated. Then, the water discharge nozzle is retracted and stored. Thereafter, when the user operates the “dry” switch, the hot air damper 470 is opened, the hot air motor and the hot air heater are operated, and hot air is blown out. Then, the user operates the “stop” switch, and accordingly, the hot air fan and the hot air heater are stopped, and the hot air damper 470 is closed.

  Thereafter, when the user stands up from the toilet seat, the seating sensor is not detected, and when the user subsequently leaves the toilet, the human body detection sensor (human body B) is not detected. Then, the second control mode is executed using these as sticking prevention triggers. That is, the hot air damper is opened and closed (B). Also in the present embodiment, as can be seen from comparison with the waveform at the time of the hot air drying performed before that, in the second control mode, the hot air damper 470 is not fully opened, and the opening angle is relative. Is set small.

  As described above, the second control mode can be executed using the non-detection of the seating sensor or the human body detection sensor as a sticking prevention trigger. In this way, as described above with reference to FIG. 9, the second control mode can be executed immediately after the sanitary washing device 100 is used, so even when water or small water is splashed around the hot air damper 470. The hot air damper 470 can be opened and closed to remove water or small water, and the hot air damper 470 can be more reliably prevented from sticking. Also in this specific example, since the second control mode can be executed every time the toilet device is used, it is effective for preventing the hot air damper 470 from sticking.

  Heretofore, the second control mode in the present embodiment has been described.

  Next, the configuration of each part of the sanitary washing device of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to specific examples.

FIG. 17 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the opening / closing mechanism of the hot air damper 470.
FIG. 18 is a perspective assembly view showing a drive mechanism of the hot air damper 470.
FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram showing attachment parts of the hot air damper 470 and the motor 472. FIG. 20 is a perspective view showing an assembly process for attaching the frame 480 to the case cover 430.

  As illustrated in FIG. 17, the main body 400 includes a case cover 430 and a case plate 770 that form a housing. Further, an outlet 622 of the hot air drying unit 620 is disposed behind the hot air damper 470. As described above, the hot air drying unit includes a fan and a heater, and blows out hot air from the air outlet 622 toward the “butt” of the user.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the hot air damper 470 is rotatably supported by the frame 480 together with the nozzle damper 460, and the frame 480 is attached to the case cover 430. The rotation axis of the warm air damper 470 is provided above the outlet 622. On the other hand, a motor (driving means) 472 is accommodated behind the hot air damper 470. The motor 472 is fixed to the case plate 770 via the mounting base 490. As the motor 472, for example, a stepping motor can be used. In this specific example, the motor 472 is disposed under the water discharge nozzle. When the stepping motor is used, as described above with reference to FIG. 7, it is easy to reduce the opening angle of the hot air damper 470 when executing the second control mode.

  A first lever 473 is coupled to the rotation shaft of the motor 472. The first lever 473 rotates within a predetermined range according to the rotation operation of the motor 472. A second lever 474 is coupled to the tip of the first lever 473. A holding portion 475 is provided at the tip of the second lever 474. The holding part 475 is coupled to a link shaft 476 provided on the upper back side of the hot air damper 470.

  As shown in FIG. 17A, when the motor 472 rotates in the direction of the arrow A from the state where the hot air damper 470 is closed, the second lever 474 is pulled in the direction of the arrow B. This pulling force is transmitted to the link shaft 476 of the hot air damper 470, and the hot air damper 470 is rotated and opened in the direction indicated by the arrow C. FIG. 17B shows a state in which the warm air damper 470 is completely opened. In this state, the warm air blown from the air outlet 622 of the warm air drying unit 620 can be reliably applied to the “butt” of the user sitting on the toilet seat without being blocked by the warm air damper 470. 18 shows a state in the middle of the assembly. After the assembly is completed, the hot air damper 470 is closed when the first lever 473 is almost upright as shown in FIG.

When assembling, the motor 472 is attached to the case plate 770 with the first lever 473, the second lever 474, and the hot air damper 470 being attached. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 20, with the nozzle damper 460 attached to the frame 480, the frame 480 is fixed to the case cover 430 using screws 483 or the like. The nozzle damper 460 is biased to a closed state by the biasing force of the spring 481.
Thereafter, the case cover 430 is attached to the case plate 770, and the hot air damper 470 coupled to the second lever 474 is attached to the frame 480. If the hot air damper 470 and the nozzle damper 460 are fixed to the case cover 430 via the frame 480, high mounting accuracy is obtained and assembly is facilitated.

  Here, an inclined surface 408 is provided on the front upper surface of the case cover 430 of the main body 400, but when the toilet seat 200 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) is closed, the lower surface of the toilet seat 200 is inclined. Adjacent to 408. When the hot air damper 470 is opened, if the tip of the hot air damper 470 comes into contact with the lower surface of the toilet seat 200, it is not preferable in that abnormal noise or damage occurs. On the other hand, it is desirable that the warm air damper 470 is opened as large as possible so as not to disturb the warm air blown from the air outlet 622.

  On the other hand, according to this specific example, the rotary shaft of the hot air damper 470 is provided above the air outlet 622, and is further coupled to the second lever 474 by the link shaft 476 provided thereabove. It can be opened widely without contacting 200 and without blocking the air outlet 622.

  The hot air damper 470 can be formed of a resin such as polypropylene, for example. Further, the hot air damper 470 may be formed of stainless steel or aluminum whose surface is anodized. On the other hand, the frame 480, the first lever 473, the second lever 474, and the like can be formed of resin or the like.

Furthermore, according to the present specific example, as shown in FIG. 5 and the like, the hot air damper 470 is provided at a high portion near the center of the curved concave surface 402, so that the hot air that dries the user's “tail” or the like. The air outlet can be in a suitable shape.
FIG. 21 is a schematic view illustrating the shape of the hot air outlet. That is, FIG. 5A illustrates the air outlet 622 in this specific example, and FIG. 5B illustrates the air outlet 622 of the comparative example.

  In order to blow out the warm air of a predetermined air volume, the opening area of the air outlet needs to be a predetermined size. When the height of the front surface of the main body 400 is low, as shown in FIG. 21B, it is unavoidable to employ a blower outlet having a small width in the vertical direction and flat in the horizontal direction. For example, in the case of the air outlet of the comparative example illustrated in FIG. 21B, the width A in the vertical direction is 10 mm, whereas the width B is 43 mm, and the opening is flat in the horizontal direction.

  However, as described above with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the front surface of the main body 400 is moved backward to form the curved concave surface 402, so that the position of the air outlet is moved away from the “butt” of the user. In such a case, if a flat air outlet as shown in FIG. 21 (b) is used, the warm air diffuses in the left-right direction, and a sufficient amount of warm air reaches the user's “buttock”. It becomes difficult.

Furthermore, when the air outlet 622 is flattened as shown in FIG. 21B, the hot air damper provided in front of the air outlet 622 can be opened by the force of the hot air. This is because the hot air damper has a small width in the height direction.
However, as shown in FIG. 21A, when the vertical dimension A of the air outlet 622 is increased, the width in the height direction of the hot air damper 470 is also increased. Then, it becomes difficult to open the warm air damper 470 with the force of warm air.

  On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, as described above with reference to FIGS. 17 to 20, the hot air damper 470 is configured to be electrically opened and closed, so that the hot air damper 470 having a large width in the height direction is reliably opened and closed. it can. As a result, as illustrated in FIG. 21A, it is possible to provide the air outlet 622 in which the vertical width and the horizontal width are close to each other. This is because the vicinity of the center of the curved concave surface 402 is raised, and an electric open / close type hot air damper 470 is provided in the vicinity thereof. For example, in the case of the air outlet illustrated in FIG. 21A, the vertical width A of the opening can be expanded to 18 millimeters. As a result, the width B in the horizontal direction can be reduced to 27 millimeters, and the aspect ratio of the opening dimension can be made close to 1. In this way, by bringing the aspect ratio of the opening dimensions close to 1, the focused hot air can be blown out. As a result, the hot air focused on the user's “butt” can be made to reach from the curved concave surface 402 that has been moved backward as viewed from the user ’s “butt”.

The opening area of the outlet of the comparative example shown in FIG. 21 (b) is about 430 square millimeters, whereas the opening area of the outlet shown in FIG. 21 (a) is about 480 millimeters. In other words, by providing the nozzle damper 460 in the tall portion near the center of the curved concave surface 402, the vertical dimension of the blowout port can be increased, and the opening area can be enlarged while the aspect ratio of the opening is close to 1. It becomes.
According to this specific example, the hot air focused in the direction of the “butt” of the user sitting on the toilet seat 200 from the air outlet 622 provided behind the hot air damper 470 provided near the center of the curved concave surface 402. H can be blown out. Since the air outlet 622 is not flat in the left-right (horizontal) direction and the aspect ratio of the opening dimension is close to 1, the discharged hot air H does not spread in the left-right (horizontal) direction, and the concentrated hot air H is far away. Can be delivered. Further, the hot air H can be directed upward by increasing the vertical dimension of the air outlet 622. As a result, the warm air H having a sufficient air volume can be delivered to the “buttock” of the user sitting on the toilet seat 200.

  FIG. 22A is a schematic view of the present embodiment, and FIG. 22B is a schematic view of the distribution of the hot air H discharged from the hot air drying unit of the sanitary washing device of the comparative example viewed from the front (front).

  Here, the hot air drying unit of this embodiment has the blower outlet represented to Fig.21 (a), and the hot air drying unit of a comparative example has the blower outlet represented to FIG.21 (b). Here, the comparative example has the form shown in FIG. Further, in each figure, the center position of the “buttock” of the user sitting on the toilet seat is represented by the symbol C.

In this embodiment, the center position of the warm air H can be made higher than that of the comparative example. This is because the vertical dimension of the opening can be increased by providing the air outlet 622 in a tall portion near the center of the curved concave surface 402 as described above with reference to FIG.
In this specific example (see FIG. 4), since the position of the air outlet 622 is further rearward than the comparative example (see FIG. 27), the air outlet of the comparative example is placed at the position of the hot air damper 470 in this specific example. If it is provided, the center of the hot air H is lowered at the position of the user's “buttock”. On the other hand, in the case of this specific example, the center of the hot air H can be increased by about 15 millimeters at the position of the user's “buttock” compared to the comparative example. Thus, by raising the center of the hot air H, the hot air H can be reliably applied to the “butt” of the user.

  Further, in the comparative example, the warm air H spreads in the left and right (horizontal) direction as shown in FIG. 21B, whereas in this specific example, the warm air as shown in FIG. 21A. The wind H does not spread in the left-right direction, and the hot air H that is converged can be delivered to the position of the user's “butt”.

  As a result, in the present specific example shown in FIG. 21A, compared with the comparative example shown in FIG. Surely. In other words, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 and the like, the central portion of the curved concave surface 402 is raised, and the hot air damper 470 that is electrically openable / closable is provided at this high portion. It is possible to deliver the concentrated hot air H far away by expanding the vertical dimension of the hot air outlet 622 and making the aspect ratio close to 1 while reliably opening and closing.

  However, in the case where the aspect ratio of the air outlet 622 is close to 1 and the electric open / close hot air damper 470 is provided in front of it, the size of the hot air damper 470 inevitably increases. Moreover, since this warm air damper 470 constitutes a part of the curved concave surface 402 and is exposed to the front surface, it is desirable that the gap with the surrounding case cover 430 be as small as possible. When the large-sized hot air damper 470 is provided in close contact with the surrounding members in this way, if moisture or the like evaporates around the hot air damper 470, it is likely to be fixed, and the fixed hot air damper 470 is pulled. Greater power is needed to peel off.

  On the other hand, according to this embodiment, sticking of the warm air damper 470 can be reliably and easily prevented by appropriately executing the second control mode. As a result, the hot air drying function of the sanitary washing device 100 can be used permanently without being impaired.

Next, interference between the hot air damper 470 and the nozzle damper 460 will be described.
23 and 24 are schematic diagrams for explaining the interference between the hot air damper 470 and the nozzle damper 460. FIG.
Since both the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are provided along the curved concave surface 402, their rotational axes are not parallel. Further, these dampers 460 and 470 are provided adjacent to each other. Therefore, if both of these dampers 460 and 470 are opened widely, they may interfere. For this reason, when the dampers 460 and 470 are opened and closed, it is necessary to perform predetermined control.

  Here, the hot air damper 470 is electrically opened and closed by the motor 472 as described above. On the other hand, the nozzle damper 460 is normally maintained in a closed state by the urging force of the spring 481, and is pushed and opened when the water discharge nozzle advances. Therefore, depending on the opening / closing timing of the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470, both may be opened simultaneously.

  In the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 23, the nozzle damper 460 is opened by the advancement of a three-stage water discharge nozzle including the nozzle head 611, the first cylinder portion 612, and the second cylinder portion 613. After the nozzle damper 460 is thus opened, the hot air damper 470 is opened by the motor 472. When the hot air damper 470 is fully opened, the tip of the hot air damper 470 comes into contact with the nozzle damper 460 and further lifts the nozzle damper 460 against the urging force of the spring 481. At this time, since the urging force of the spring 481 is only acting between the hot air damper 470 and the nozzle damper 460, the dampers 460 and 470 are not scratched or damaged, and there is a risk of being caught. Nor.

  In the state shown in FIG. 23, the nozzle damper 460 is lifted away from the water discharge nozzle. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 24, even when the water discharge nozzle is retracted and stored in the main body 400, the nozzle damper 460 is kept in contact with the hot air damper 470 and opened. That is, when the nozzle damper 460 starts to open before the hot air damper 470, even if these dampers 460 and 470 interfere with each other, a strong force does not act. There will be no damage or failure.

  In contrast to the state shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, when the nozzle damper 460 is opened by the advance of the water discharge nozzle while the hot air damper 470 is open, the dampers 460 and 470 interfere with each other and are strong. Force may act. For this reason, it is desirable to perform control so that the nozzle damper 460 does not open when the hot air damper 470 is open.

  However, as described above with reference to FIG. 7, when the opening angle of the hot air damper 470 is set to be small in the second control mode, interference with the nozzle damper 460 does not occur. Accordingly, in such a case, the second control mode can be executed regardless of the state of the nozzle damper 460.

The opening / closing mechanism of the hot air damper 470 and the nozzle damper 460 in the present embodiment have been described above.
Next, the internal structure of the toilet device of the present embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to specific examples.

FIG. 25 is a perspective view of the inside of the main body 400 viewed from the front.
As described above, the main body 400 includes the case cover 430 and the case plate 770 that form the housing. A human body detection sensor 500 and a display unit 670 are appropriately provided on the upper surface of the case cover 430. The display unit 670 has a role of appropriately displaying, for example, the power-on state of the toilet device. Further, a toilet seat opening / closing unit 780 for automatically opening and closing the toilet seat 200 is provided on the upper portion of the front portion of the case cover 430 so as to protrude.

  On the other hand, when the inside of the case cover 430 is viewed, a nozzle unit 610, a hot air drying unit 620, and a deodorizing unit 630 are provided in front of the case cover 430. Note that, as illustrated in FIGS. 17 and 18, the motor 472 that drives the hot air damper 470 is installed under the nozzle unit 610. In this way, the space under the nozzle unit 610 can be used effectively, and the driving force can be transmitted from the vicinity of the hot air damper 470.

  As described above with reference to FIG. 7, the nozzle unit 610 has a water discharge nozzle that can freely move back and forth, and has a role of cleaning water by spraying water on the “butt” of the user sitting on the toilet seat 200. The deodorizing unit 630 has a role of sucking air in the bowl 810 of the toilet bowl 800, deodorizing it, and discharging it from the exhaust port 440.

  Further, a controller 640 is provided above the front part inside the case cover 430, and a valve unit 650 and a heat exchange unit 660 are provided at the rear part thereof. Water supplied from the valve unit 650 to the heat exchange unit 660 is heated, and a pulsation is given to the water by a pump unit provided in the nozzle unit 610, and this pulsating water is supplied to the water discharge nozzle.

  Further, an auxiliary operation unit (not shown) is appropriately provided on the side surface of the case cover 430. The auxiliary operation unit is provided with a switch for operating cleaning of the “wet” by the nozzle unit 610. For example, the operation of the sanitary cleaning function can be controlled even when operation by a remote controller (not shown) is impossible. Is.

  On the other hand, a toilet lid opening / closing unit 720 and a toilet flushing valve unit 730 are provided in the rear part inside the case cover 430. The toilet lid opening / closing unit 720 has a role of opening and closing the toilet lid 300. The toilet flushing valve unit 730 has a role of controlling the supply of flush water that flows to the toilet 800. That is, the toilet device of this specific example has a so-called “water supply directly connected water supply” structure, and supplies water supplied from the water supply to the toilet bowl 800 via the toilet flush valve unit 730 without providing a low tank or the like. Perform cleaning. However, this invention is not limited to this, The sanitary washing apparatus which can be attached to a low tank type toilet is also included.

On the other hand, an indoor heating unit 740 is provided at the rearmost part of the case cover 430. The indoor heating unit 740 has a role of heating the toilet space in which the toilet apparatus is installed by discharging warm air from the discharge port 450 (see FIG. 2).
The main body 400 provided with such various mechanisms is provided with the hot air damper 470 described above with reference to FIGS.

Next, in the present embodiment, an effect of making the curved concave surface 402 by retreating the front surface of the main body 400 backward will be described.
FIG. 26 is a perspective view of the toilet apparatus according to the present embodiment as viewed from the front with the toilet seat 200 and the toilet lid 300 removed.
FIG. 27 is a perspective view of the toilet device of the comparative example viewed from the front. 26 and 27 show a view of the bowl 810 from the viewpoint of the user who cleans the toilet while squatting in front of the toilet 800, specifically, about 100 millimeters away from the front end of the toilet 800, It represents the appearance of the bowl 810 viewed from a height of about 1000 millimeters from the floor.

FIG. 28 is a cross-sectional view of the toilet apparatus of the present embodiment,
FIG. 29 is a cross-sectional view of a toilet apparatus of a comparative example. FIG. 28 and FIG. 29 are schematic diagrams for explaining a range that can be seen from the user's eyes, who cleans the toilet bowl while squatting in front of the toilet bowl 800.

  First, a comparative example will be described. In the comparative example shown in FIGS. 27 and 29, the main body 400 extends over the bowl 810 of the toilet bowl 800, and a region 400 </ b> P indicated by a broken line represents a rear portion of the opening of the bowl 810. It is blocking. However, when the main body 400 protrudes above the bowl 810 in this way, small water tends to be applied to the main body 400 when the male is standing up. Further, when the main body 400 protrudes above the bowl 810 in this way, the effective opening area of the bowl 810 is narrowed, so that a stenosis sensation is given to a man who uses it in a standing position. In addition, dirt easily adheres to the back side of the protruding area 400P as described above, and there is room for improvement in terms of cleanability.

Furthermore, when the main body 400 protrudes above the bowl 810 as described above, even if dirt is attached to the rear upper part of the bowl 810, it is difficult to clean the portion. That is, in the comparative example shown in FIG. 27, even when the user squats in front of the toilet bowl 800, the rim portion 820 at the upper end of the bowl 810 is hidden behind the protruding region 400P of the main body portion and cannot be seen. For this reason, in order for the user to clean the rim portion 820 below the region 400P, the user has to look into it in a bent posture.
In contrast, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 26 and 28, the front surface of the main body 400 is retracted to form the curved concave surface 402, so that it can be used in a male standing position. In addition, it is difficult for small water to be applied, and the user is not given a visual stenosis. Further, as described above with reference to FIG. 4, by raising the vicinity of the center of the curved concave surface 402, even if a small amount of water is applied to the main body 400 when the male is standing up, the back of the curved concave surface 402 near the center. The small portion can receive small water and drop it into the bowl 810. That is, it is possible to suppress the small water from being applied to the inclined surface 408 of the main body 400, and the contamination due to the small water can be reduced as much as possible.

  And by retreating the main body part 400 in this way, it is possible to suppress the adhesion of dirt to the back surface of the main body part 400, and the cleanability can be remarkably improved. That is, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 28, it can be seen up to the vicinity of the upper end of the rim portion 820 at the rear end of the bowl 810 when viewed from the line of sight of the user squatting in front of the toilet bowl 800. Therefore, the user can clean and cleanly clean the back end of the bowl 810 using a rag or a brush in the posture, and confirm that the dirt has been removed and has been cleaned. Further, in the present embodiment, since the amount of protrusion of the main body 400 on the bowl 810 is suppressed, it is easy to clean dirt and the like attached to the back side of the protrusion. For example, even when cleaning with a rag or the like, the user can quickly wipe away from side to side with the rag applied to the back side of the main body 400.

FIG. 30 is a schematic plan view for explaining the relationship between the curved concave surface 402 and the bowl 810 in the present embodiment.
As shown in the figure, the curved concave surface 402 of the main body portion maintains a form substantially conforming to the opening shape of the bowl 810, and almost the entire curved concave surface 402 is slightly closer to the bowl 810 side than the opening end of the bowl 810. Protruding. When the protruding amounts to the bowl 810 at the left and right front ends of the curved concave surface 402 are a and b, and the protruding amount to the bowl 810 near the center is c, a and b are relatively small, and c is relatively large. can do. In this way, it is possible to effectively prevent entry of small water or the like into the gap between the main body 400 and the opening end of the bowl 810 while exposing most of the bowl 810 substantially continuously with the opening shape of the bowl 810. . This is because the small water is mainly directed to the vicinity of the center when the male is standing up, and the gap between the main body 400 and the open end of the bowl 810 is covered with the curved concave surface 402. This is because small water is not directly applied to the gap. Moreover, if it does in this way, it will also become easy to ensure the space (protrusion part) for drainage and deodorizing.

  Specifically, for example, a and b can be about several millimeters to about 10 millimeters, and c can be about 10 millimeters to about 10 millimeters. If the curved concave surface 402 is slightly protruded in this way, the entry of small water can be suppressed as much as possible. Furthermore, drainage from the main body 400 to the bowl 810 can be secured, and a deodorizing air inlet for a deodorizing function can be secured.

  In addition, by restricting the amount of protrusion of the main body 400 to the bowl 810 in this way, the dust cloth is evenly applied to the back side of the main body 400 in the range from the tip of the user's finger to the first joint, for example. It is also possible. That is, the user applies a dust cloth to the tip of the finger while keeping the first joint of the finger lightly bent, and slides the dust cloth to the left and right along the curved concave surface 402 of the main body section 400, whereby the main body section 400. It is possible to reliably clean the back side of the rim and the upper end portion of the rim portion 820 adjacent thereto. Since the curved concave surface 402 forms a curved surface that is substantially continuous with the bowl 810, it can be cleaned smoothly and reliably without any rags being caught.

  Then, according to the present embodiment, the front surface of the main body 400 is retreated in this way to form the curved concave surface 402, and the electric opening / closing hot air damper 470 is provided in the vicinity of the center thereof, so that the height dimension can be obtained. It is possible to reliably open and close the hot air outlet with a large airflow, and to ensure that the hot air reaches the user's “buttock”.
