Description

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

  The sanitary washing apparatus is mainly used in a form in which a water discharge nozzle for injecting washing water is slidably accommodated in the inside thereof and installed and used on the upper part of a sitting toilet. In addition, providing such a sanitary washing device with a “warm air drying function” that blows warm air to dry the user ’s “wet” and the like makes it easier to use and reduces the amount of toilet paper used. It is also effective for resource saving.

  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 (for example, Patent Document 1).

On the other hand, if the front surface of the sanitary washing device is retracted, the portion of the sitting toilet bowl covered with the bowl can be reduced to suppress the adhesion of dirt, and the trouble of removing the dirt on the back surface of the sanitary washing device covered with the bowl can be saved. For this purpose, for example, it is conceivable to recede the front surface of the sanitary washing device and form it in a curved shape along the open end of the bowl of the toilet bowl.
However, if the front surface of the sanitary washing device is curved along the open end of the bowl, and an open / close lid for the water discharge nozzle and an open / close lid for hot air drying are provided here, they will collide if they open simultaneously. There is a risk of malfunction or failure.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each drawing, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same component and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted suitably.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the main configuration of a sanitary washing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Moreover, FIG. 2 is the perspective view which looked at the front part of the main-body part of the sanitary washing apparatus concerning this embodiment.

  The sanitary washing device 100 of this embodiment includes human body detection sensors 420 and 500, a nozzle unit 610, a hot air drying unit (hot air generator) 620, a transmission mechanism 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 615 that can be moved back and forth from the main body of the sanitary washing device by the driving force transmitted from the nozzle motor (driving means) 619, and water is directed toward the “butt” of the user sitting on the toilet seat. Inject. The nozzle damper (first opening / closing plate) 460 that closes the opening (first opening) 402A formed in front of the nozzle unit 610 is urged to a closed state by a spring, as will be described in detail later, and the water discharge nozzle 615. In the state in which is stored, it is in a closed state as shown in FIG. Then, when the water discharge nozzle 615 extends in the direction of the arrow A (FIG. 1), the nozzle damper 460 is pushed from the back surface and opens as shown in FIG. 2 (b).

  On the other hand, the hot air drying unit (warm air generating device) 620 is dried by blowing hot air toward the “butt” of the user who is also sitting on the toilet seat. The driving force transmitted from the nozzle motor 619 via the water discharge nozzle 615 and the transmission mechanism 472 is a hot air damper that blocks the opening (second opening) 402B formed in front of the hot air outlet of the hot air drying unit 620. (Second opening / closing plate) 470 is opened and closed. FIG. 2C shows a state where the hot air damper 470 is opened. In the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 2, both the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are supported so as to be rotatable about a substantially horizontal rotation axis. These dampers 460 and 470 are both opened by rotating upward.

  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 controls the opening / closing timing and sequence of the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470.

FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of a water discharge nozzle provided in the sanitary washing device of the present embodiment. FIG. 3 (a) shows a state in which the water discharge nozzle is housed, and FIG. 3 (b) is extended. Represents a state.
The water discharge nozzle 615 is, for example, a three-stage type, and includes a nozzle head 611, a first cylinder part 612, a second cylinder part 613, and a third cylinder part 614. In the present embodiment, a three-stage type, that is, a water discharge nozzle having three movable parts has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the multi-stage type water discharge having two or four or more movable parts. It also includes a nozzle and a single-stage water discharge nozzle whose movable part is only a nozzle head.
One or a plurality of water outlets 616 are provided at the tip of the nozzle head 611 so that water can be ejected toward a “butt” of a user sitting on a toilet seat (not shown). In the present specification, the term “water” includes not only cold water but also warm hot water.

  The nozzle head 611 is slidably provided with respect to the first cylinder portion 612, and at least a part of the nozzle head 611 can be stored in the first cylinder portion 612. Further, the first cylinder part 612 is slidably provided with respect to the second cylinder part 613, and at least a part of the first cylinder part 612 can be stored in the second cylinder part 613. Similarly, the second cylinder part 613 is slidably provided with respect to the third cylinder part 614, and at least a part of the second cylinder part 613 can be stored in the third cylinder part 614. The third cylinder part 614 is fixed with respect to the nozzle base part 618. Note that the third cylinder portion 614 is not necessarily a complete cylindrical body, and it is sufficient that the second cylinder portion 613 can be slidably held. The sliding operation of each of these elements is performed by a nozzle motor 619.

  Further, the nozzle unit 610 of this embodiment is provided with a nozzle cleaning chamber 617. The nozzle cleaning chamber 617 is fixed with respect to the nozzle base 618, and the outer peripheral surface of the water discharge nozzle 615 can be cleaned by spraying water from a water discharge port provided therein. As shown in FIG. 3A, in the state where the water discharge nozzle 615 is housed, the tip of the nozzle head 611 protrudes from the first cylinder section 612 and is almost housed in the nozzle cleaning chamber 617. Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the water discharge nozzle 615 extends and retracts through the nozzle cleaning chamber 617.

  FIG. 4 represents the operation of the water discharge nozzle provided in the sanitary washing device of the present embodiment, FIG. 4A is a conceptual diagram illustrating a state in which the water discharge nozzle is extended, and FIG. It is a conceptual diagram showing the state in which the water discharge nozzle was accommodated, FIG.4 (c) is a conceptual diagram showing the state in which the warm air damper was opened.

  In the state where the water discharge nozzle 615 is extended, the nozzle damper 460 is pushed by the water discharge nozzle 615 from the rear side to the front side and rotates about the rotation shaft 462 as shown in FIG. Do and open. An elastic body (first elastic body) 481 such as a torsion coil spring is inserted into the rotation shaft 462. The nozzle damper 460 is biased so as to be closed by the biasing force of the elastic body 481.

  On the other hand, the hot air damper 470 is in a closed state. The hot air damper 470 is provided with a connecting shaft 474, and a transmission mechanism 472 is connected to the connecting shaft 474. The rear part of the transmission mechanism 472 extends in the direction of the rail 628 for the second cylinder part 613 to move in the front-rear direction. In addition, an elastic body (second elastic body) 622 that biases the second cylinder portion 613 forward is provided on the side of the rail 628.

  A rack 626 is connected to the rear surface of the nozzle head 611, and the driving force of the nozzle motor 619 is transmitted to the nozzle head 611 via the rack 626. Therefore, when a driving force in the direction in which the water discharge nozzle 615 is accommodated is transmitted from the nozzle motor 619, at least a part of the nozzle head 611 is applied to the first cylinder portion 612 as shown in FIG. At least a part of the first cylinder part 612 is stored in the second cylinder part 613. At this time, the rear part of the second cylinder part 613 comes into contact with a part of the transmission mechanism 472 and the elastic body 622.

  At substantially the same time as this operation, the nozzle damper 460 is closed. This is because, as described above, the nozzle damper 460 is urged so as to be closed by the elastic body 481, and the pushing force from the rear side applied by the water discharge nozzle 615 is lost.

  Subsequently, in the case where warm air is blown out to start drying such as “wet”, the nozzle motor 619 further drives the rack 626 rearward as shown in FIG. That is, the nozzle head 611 is further moved backward. At this time, since the rear part of the nozzle head 611 and the first cylinder part 612 and the rear part of the first cylinder part 612 and the second cylinder part 613 are in contact, the nozzle head 611 moves backward. Then, the 1st cylinder part 612 and the 2nd cylinder part 613 also move back simultaneously. The second cylinder portion 613 in contact with a part of the transmission mechanism 472 and the elastic body 622 moves the transmission mechanism 472 rearward as indicated by an arrow B while resisting the urging force received from the elastic body 622.

  Since the transmission mechanism 472 is connected to the connecting shaft 474 provided in the hot air damper 470 as described above, when the transmission mechanism 472 moves in the direction of the arrow B, the temperature on the side where the connecting shaft 474 is provided. Similarly, the end of the wind damper 470 moves in the direction of arrow B. On the other hand, the hot air damper 470 is in contact with an appropriately fixed support shaft 476. Accordingly, the end of the hot air damper 470 on the side opposite to the side where the connecting shaft 474 is provided moves in the direction of arrow C. In this way, the hot air damper 470 is opened and the hot air is blown out.

  When the hot air drying is finished, the nozzle motor 619 moves the rack 626 forward. That is, the nozzle head 611 is moved forward. At this time, since the elastic body 622 biases the second cylinder portion 613 forward, the second cylinder portion 613 and the first cylinder portion 612 simultaneously move forward. When the second cylinder part 613 moves forward, a space is created between the rear part of the transmission mechanism 472 and the rear part of the second cylinder part 613. Therefore, the hot air damper 470 is separated from the arrow C by its own weight. Can move in the opposite direction. In this way, the warm air damper 470 is closed. The hot air damper 470 may be provided with an elastic body such as a torsion coil spring as appropriate, similarly to the nozzle damper 460, and may be closed by receiving an urging force from the elastic body instead of its own weight. In this manner, the sanitary washing device of the present embodiment can be driven to open and close so that the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are not simultaneously opened by one driving means (nozzle motor 619). .

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the contents of the control mode executed by the control unit.
In the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 5, the user first issues a “cleaning” command using the water discharge nozzle 615 (step S102). When the “cleaning” command is issued, the control unit 640 extends the water discharge nozzle 615 (step S104). At this time, the water discharge nozzle 615 pushes the nozzle damper 460 forward from the rear side and opens it (step S104). This state is the same as the state shown in FIG. Subsequently, after the water discharge nozzle 615 is extended to a predetermined position, water is sprayed toward the “wet” or the like to start the butt cleaning (step S106).

  In this state, when a command for hot air drying is issued from the user (step S108), the control unit 640 first stops the buttocks cleaning (step S110). Subsequently, the water discharge nozzle 615 is accommodated. Accordingly, the nozzle damper 460 is closed (step S112). The control unit 640 continues to store the water discharge nozzle 615, and returns the water discharge nozzle 615 to the origin (step S114). Here, the origin is the position of the water discharge nozzle 615 in a state where the water discharge nozzle 615 contacts the transmission mechanism 472 and the elastic body 622 and the elastic body 622 is not contracted, as shown in FIG. Say.

  Subsequently, the control unit 640 moves the water discharge nozzle 615 further rearward from the origin, and opens the warm air damper 470 by the operation described with reference to FIG. 4 (step S116). This state is the same as the state shown in FIG. Subsequently, after the warm air damper 470 is opened, drying such as “wet” is started using the warm air (step S118). However, hot air drying may be started by blowing hot air at a stage in the middle of opening, not after the hot air damper 470 is completely opened.

  Thus, since the driving force from the nozzle motor 619 is transmitted to the hot air damper 470 via the transmission mechanism 472, the sanitary washing device of the present embodiment performs the “ When a drying command such as “wet” is issued, the hot air damper 470 is not immediately opened and the hot air drying is not started. That is, the nozzle damper 460 and the warm air damper 470 are not opened at the same time. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, even if both the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are provided adjacent to the curved concave surface 402 of the main body 400, the hot air damper 470 is also in a state where the nozzle damper 460 is opened. They don't open, they collide and get stuck on each other and don't get stuck, get scratched, deformed or broken.

  On the other hand, when there is no transmission mechanism 472 as provided in the sanitary washing apparatus of the present embodiment, and the hot air damper 470 and the nozzle damper 460 are opened and closed by individual driving means, the hot air damper is used. If the operations of 470 and nozzle damper 460 are not properly controlled, they may collide with each other and get stuck and may not move or may be damaged, deformed, or damaged.

  Note that the timing of the step of closing the nozzle damper 460 (step S112) and the step of opening the hot air damper 470 (step S116) appropriately set the shape of the rear portion of the transmission mechanism 472 and the shape of the rear portion of the water discharge nozzle 615. It can be changed by doing. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the hot air damper 470 may start to open after the nozzle damper 460 is completely closed, or the hot air damper 470 may start to open before the nozzle damper 460 is completely closed. It is. That is, the opening angle may be in a range where the hot air damper 470 and the nozzle damper 460 do not collide.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating another content of the control mode performed by the control unit.
In the specific example shown in FIG. 6, for example, when the user starts drying with warm air after cleaning “wet” and then cleans “wet” again, or when operating the remote control, etc. This corresponds to the case where it is desired to start cleaning such as “wetting” after the start of hot air drying.
In such a case, a warm air drying command is first issued from the user (step S202). When the warm air drying command is issued, the control unit 640 moves the water discharge nozzle 615 further backward from the origin, and opens the warm air damper 470 by the operation described with reference to FIG. 4 (step S204). This state is the same as the state shown in FIG. Here, the origin is the same as the origin described with reference to FIG. Subsequently, after the warm air damper 470 is opened, drying such as “wet” is started using the warm air (step S206). However, hot air drying may be started by blowing hot air at a stage in the middle of opening, not after the hot air damper 470 is completely opened.

  In this state, when a “cleaning” command using the water discharge nozzle is issued from the user (step S208), the control unit 640 first stops hot air drying (step S210). Subsequently, the control unit 640 moves the water discharge nozzle 615 forward to return to the origin (step S212). Accordingly, the warm air damper 470 is closed (step S212). This state is the same as the state shown in FIG. Subsequently, the control unit 640 continues the forward movement of the water discharge nozzle 615 and extends the nozzle damper 460 (step S214). At this time, the water discharge nozzle 615 pushes the nozzle damper 460 forward from the rear side and opens it (step S214). This state is the same as the state shown in FIG. Subsequently, after the water discharge nozzle 615 is extended to a predetermined position, water is sprayed toward the “wet” or the like to start the butt cleaning (step S216).

  Similarly, in this specific example, since the driving force from the nozzle motor 619 is transmitted to the warm air damper 470 via the transmission mechanism 472, a cleaning command such as “wet” is performed when the warm air drying is being performed. In the case where the error is issued, the nozzle damper 460 is not immediately opened to start the buttocks cleaning. That is, the nozzle damper 460 and the warm air damper 470 are not opened at the same time. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, even if both the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are provided adjacent to the curved concave surface 402 of the main body 400, the hot air damper 470 is also in a state where the nozzle damper 460 is opened. They don't open, they collide and get stuck on each other and don't get stuck, get scratched, deformed or broken.

  In addition, the timing of the step of closing the hot air damper 470 (step S212) and the step of opening the nozzle damper 460 (step S214) is set as appropriate to the shape of the rear portion of the transmission mechanism 472 and the shape of the rear portion of the water discharge nozzle 615. It can be changed by doing. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the nozzle damper 460 may be opened after the hot air damper 470 is completely closed, or the nozzle damper 460 may be opened before the hot air damper 470 is completely closed. It is. That is, the opening angle may be within a range where the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 do not collide.

Next, a modification of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the operation of a modified example of the sanitary washing device according to the present embodiment. FIG. 7A is a conceptual diagram illustrating a state in which the water discharge nozzle is extended, and FIG. These are the conceptual diagrams showing the state in which the water discharge nozzle was accommodated, and FIG.7 (c) is a conceptual diagram showing the state in which the warm air damper was opened.

  In the sanitary washing device of this modification, a protrusion 629 is provided at the rear part of the rail 628. In addition, an elastic body (third elastic body) 624 that connects the rear portion of the transmission mechanism 472 and the protrusion 629 is further provided. In the state shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the urging force of the elastic body 624 is not acting, and the force that the hot air damper 470 tries to open and the force that tries to close are balanced. Yes. Since the other structure is the same as that of the sanitary washing apparatus described with reference to FIG. 4, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  In the state where the water discharge nozzle 615 is extended, the nozzle damper 460 is pushed by the water discharge nozzle 615 from the rear side as shown in FIG. 7A and rotates around the rotation shaft 462 to open. It becomes the state. In this state, by washing water toward the “butt” or the like, the “butt” or the like can be cleaned.

  Subsequently, when a driving force in a direction in which the water discharge nozzle 615 is accommodated is transmitted from the nozzle motor 619, as shown in FIG. 7B, at least a part of the nozzle head 611 has the first cylinder portion 612. And at least part of the first cylinder portion 612 is stored in the second cylinder portion 613. At this time, the rear part of the second cylinder part 613 comes into contact with a part of the transmission mechanism 472 and the elastic body 622.

  Subsequently, in the case where warm air is blown out to start drying such as “wet”, the nozzle motor 619 further drives the rack 626 backward as shown in FIG. 7C. That is, the nozzle head 611 is further moved backward. At this time, the transmission mechanism 472 moves in the direction of arrow B while facing the urging force received from the elastic body 624. Therefore, the transmission mechanism 472 receives a biasing force in the forward direction from the elastic body 624 in the state of FIG.

  Therefore, when the hot air drying is terminated, the water discharge nozzle 615 moves forward, so that the transmission mechanism 472 simultaneously receives the urging force from the elastic body 624 and moves forward. Thereby, the warm air damper 470 is in a closed state. That is, the hot air damper 470 illustrated in FIG. 4 is closed by its own weight, whereas the hot air damper 470 of the present modification is closed when the transmission mechanism 472 receives a biasing force from the elastic body 624. Therefore, according to the structure of this modification, the warm air damper 470 can be closed more reliably. Other operations and effects are the same as the operations and effects described with reference to FIG. 4, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the operation of another modification of the sanitary washing device according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 8A is a conceptual diagram illustrating a state in which the water discharge nozzle is extended, and FIG. FIG. 8B is a conceptual diagram illustrating a state in which the water discharge nozzle is housed, and FIG. 8C is a conceptual diagram illustrating a state in which the hot air damper is opened.
Moreover, FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram showing the operation | movement of the further another modification of the sanitary washing apparatus concerning this embodiment, FIG.9 (a) is a conceptual diagram showing the state which the water discharge nozzle extended, FIG. 9B is a conceptual diagram illustrating a state in which the water discharge nozzle is housed, and FIG. 9C is a conceptual diagram illustrating a state in which the hot air damper is opened.

  The rear part of the transmission mechanism 472 provided in the sanitary washing device of the present modification extends in the direction of the rear part of the nozzle head 611. This is because the transmission mechanism 472 provided in the sanitary washing device shown in FIGS. 4 and 7 contacts the rear part of the second cylinder part 613 while the water discharge nozzle 615 is accommodated. The transmission mechanism 472 provided in the modification abuts on the rear part of the nozzle head 611 as shown in FIG.

  At this time, the rear part of the second cylinder part 613 is in contact with the rear part of the rail 628. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8C, even when the transmission mechanism 472 is moved backward to open the hot air damper 470, the second cylinder portion 613 and the first cylinder portion 612 are rearward. Do not move to. Therefore, when the hot air damper 470 is closed, it is not necessary to return the second cylinder part 613 and the first cylinder part 612 to the front as in the sanitary washing apparatus shown in FIGS. 622 is not provided. About another structure, it is the same as that of the sanitary washing apparatus represented to FIG.

  Even with such a structure, the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 can be driven to open and close so as not to be simultaneously opened by one driving means. In addition, since the hot air damper 470 is opened and closed in conjunction with the operation of the nozzle head 611, it is easier to adjust the opening and closing timing of the nozzle damper 460 and the opening and closing timing of the hot air damper 470. In the case of the sanitary washing apparatus shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the hot air flows through the nozzle head 611, the first cylinder part 612, the second cylinder part 613, and the transmission mechanism 472. While the damper 470 is opened and closed, in the case of the sanitary washing device of the present modification, the hot air damper 470 is opened and closed only through the nozzle head 611 and the transmission mechanism 472. It is.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when a protrusion 629 is provided at the rear part of the rail 628 and an elastic body 624 that connects the rear part of the transmission mechanism 472 and the protrusion 629 is further provided, As with the sanitary washing apparatus, the hot air damper 470 can be closed more reliably. Other operations and effects are the same as those described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the operation of still another modified example of the sanitary washing device according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 10A is a conceptual diagram illustrating a state in which the water discharge nozzle is extended. (B) is a conceptual diagram showing the state in which the water discharge nozzle was accommodated, and FIG.10 (c) is a conceptual diagram showing the state in which the warm air damper was opened.
Moreover, FIG. 11 is a conceptual diagram showing the operation | movement of the further another modification of the sanitary washing apparatus concerning this embodiment, FIG.11 (a) is a conceptual diagram showing the state which the water discharge nozzle extended, FIG.11 (b) is a conceptual diagram showing the state in which the water discharge nozzle was accommodated, and FIG.11 (c) is a conceptual diagram showing the state in which the warm air damper was opened.

  The water discharge nozzle 615 provided in the sanitary washing device of this modification is a single-stage water discharge nozzle having only the nozzle head 611. The rear part of the transmission mechanism 472 extends in the direction of the rear part of the nozzle head 611. This is the same as the transmission mechanism provided in the sanitary washing apparatus shown in FIGS. Further, since the second cylinder portion 613 and the first cylinder portion 612 are not provided, the elastic body 622 is also not provided. About another structure, it is the same as that of the sanitary washing apparatus represented to FIG.

  Even with such a structure, the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 can be driven to open and close so as not to be simultaneously opened by one driving means. Further, since the hot air damper 470 is opened and closed in conjunction with the operation of only the nozzle head 611, the timing of opening and closing the nozzle damper 460 and the opening and closing of the hot air damper 470 are the same as in the sanitary washing apparatus shown in FIGS. This makes it easier to adjust the timing.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when an elastic body 624 that connects the rear portion of the rail 628 and the rear portion of the transmission mechanism 472 is further provided, as in the sanitary washing device shown in FIGS. The hot air damper 470 can be closed more reliably. Other operations and effects are the same as those described with reference to FIG.

Next, a modified example of the opening and closing direction of the nozzle damper and the hot air damper will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 12 is a perspective view illustrating a modified example of the opening and closing directions of the nozzle damper and the warm air damper in the present embodiment, and FIG. 12A shows a state in which only the warm air damper is opened. b) represents a state in which only the nozzle damper is open.

  In this modification, the nozzle damper 460 opens and closes around a substantially horizontal rotation axis, while the hot air damper 470 opens and closes around a rotation axis that is substantially perpendicular thereto. The rotating shaft of the hot air damper 470 is provided on the side far from the nozzle damper 460. That is, the nozzle damper 460 opens upward, and the hot air damper 470 opens toward the right. Although the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are not simultaneously opened and collide by the structure and operation described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 11, the hot air damper 470 moves away from the nozzle damper 460 in this way. The two will not collide with each other.

  FIG. 13 is a perspective view illustrating another modified example of the opening / closing direction of the nozzle damper and the warm air damper in the present embodiment, and FIG. 13A shows a state in which only the nozzle damper is opened, and FIG. b) represents a state in which only the hot air damper is open.

  In this modification, the nozzle damper 460 opens and closes around a rotation axis that is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal direction, and the hot air damper 470 opens and closes around a rotation axis that is substantially horizontal. Further, the rotation axis of the nozzle damper 460 is provided on the side far from the hot air damper 470. That is, the nozzle damper 460 opens to the left and the hot air damper 470 opens upward. Although the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are not simultaneously opened and collide by the structure and operation described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 11, the nozzle damper 460 moves away from the hot air damper 470 in this way. The two will not collide with each other.

  FIG. 14 is a perspective view illustrating still another modified example of the opening / closing direction of the nozzle damper and the hot air damper in the present embodiment, and FIG. 14A shows a state in which only the nozzle damper is opened. (B) represents a state in which only the hot air damper is open.

  In this modification, both the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 open and close about a rotation axis that is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal direction. Further, the rotation axis of the nozzle damper 460 is provided on the side far from the hot air damper 470, and the rotation axis of the hot air damper 470 is also provided on the side far from the nozzle damper 460. That is, the nozzle damper 460 opens to the left and the hot air damper 470 opens to the right. Although the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are not simultaneously opened and collide by the structure and operation described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 11, the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are not Since they open in a direction away from each other, the collision between the two is further eliminated.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the driving force from the nozzle motor 619 is transmitted to the hot air damper 470 via the transmission mechanism 472. For this reason, when a drying command such as “wet” is issued while washing by the water discharge nozzle 615, the hot air damper 470 cannot be opened immediately and the hot air drying cannot be started. When a command for cleaning such as “wet” is issued while air drying is being performed, the nozzle damper 460 is not immediately opened to start cleaning. That is, the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are not opened at the same time. Therefore, the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are simultaneously opened and collide with each other, so that they do not get stuck and do not move and are not damaged, deformed, or damaged.

Next, the installation form of the sanitary washing apparatus will be described with reference to a specific example.
FIG. 15 is a schematic perspective view showing the appearance of the toilet apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 16 is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which the toilet seat and the toilet lid of the toilet device are opened.
Moreover, FIG. 17 is the schematic diagram which looked at the center part of the main-body part of a sanitary washing apparatus from the front.
FIG. 18 is a perspective view showing an assembly process for attaching the frame to the case cover.

  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 is provided with each element 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 extended from the main body 400 into the bowl of the toilet bowl 800 according to the user's switch operation or the like. In addition, it is possible to wash the “butt” of the user sitting on the toilet seat by spraying water from a spout provided near the tip. 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.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the nozzle damper 460 is attached to the frame 480 with the elastic body 481 attached to the rotating shaft 462. The elastic body 481 is, for example, a torsion coil spring. Further, the frame 480 is fixed to a case cover 430 that constitutes a housing using screws 483 and the like. The nozzle damper 460 is biased so as to be closed by the biasing force of the elastic body 481.

FIG. 19 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 extends from the main body 400, and water is sprayed toward the “butt” of the user. When the “dry” switch 910 is operated, the hot air damper 470 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.

  Therefore, for example, when the “wet” switch 902 is operated and then the “dry” switch 910 is operated, the control described above with reference to FIG. 5 is executed, for example. Further, when the “drying” switch 910 is operated and then the “wet” switch 902 is operated, for example, the control described above with reference to FIG. 6 is executed.

  On the other hand, in this specific example, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, a human body detection sensor 500 is formed such that a concave portion 410 is formed on the upper surface of the main body 400 and a part of the concave portion 410 is embedded. Is provided. 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. 16, 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, “rear”, as shown in FIG. 15, is a side on which a low tank or a flush valve is usually installed, 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 (first opening) 402A for extending and retracting the water discharge nozzle and a nozzle damper (first opening / closing plate) 460 as a closing member that covers the opening 402A are provided at a high portion near the center of the curved concave surface 402. A warm air damper (second opening / closing plate) 470 is provided in the right opening (second opening) 402B.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of control executed in such a sanitary washing apparatus will be described.
FIG. 20 is a timing chart illustrating an example of control executed by the control unit.
In this embodiment, the control described above with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 is executed.

  First, when the human body detection sensor 420 (see FIGS. 15 to 17) detects that the user is seated on the toilet seat 200, the hot air damper is first opened and then closed again (A). This is an initialization operation for surely closing the hot air damper 470, and at the same time, an effect of preventing the hot air damper 470 from sticking is obtained. In other words, the warm air damper 470 may be moistened during cleaning with the water discharge nozzle or when used in a male standing position. If the moisture enters the gap around the hot air damper 470 and evaporates, a chlor component or the like may remain, and the hot air damper 470 may stick and become difficult to move. On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, if the hot air damper 470 is opened and closed corresponding to the seating of the user, the sticking can be reliably prevented.

  Further, as can be seen from comparison with the waveform of the hot air drying performed later, in the initialization operation (A) of the hot air damper 470, the hot air damper 470 is not completely opened, and the opening angle thereof is It is set relatively small. For initialization and prevention of sticking, the opening angle may be small, and the opening angle can be reduced quickly and executed without being noticed by the user.

  After that, the user operates the “wet” cleaning switch (B) to start cleaning with the water discharge nozzle (C), the water pressure is changed (D) by the user, and the “drying” switch is operated (E ). Then, as described above with reference to FIG. 5, the water discharge nozzle is retracted (F), the nozzle damper 460 is closed, and then the hot air damper 470 is opened (G), and the hot air motor and the hot air heater are operated. Hot air is blown out (H). That is, even when the “dry” switch is operated during the cleaning by the water discharge nozzle, the hot air damper 470 cannot be opened immediately, and the hot air damper 470 is moved after the water discharge nozzle is retracted and the nozzle damper 460 is closed. open. By doing so, collision between the hot air damper 470 and the nozzle damper 460 is prevented.

  Thereafter, when the user operates the “wet” switch again (I), the hot air fan and the hot air heater are stopped accordingly (J), and the hot air damper 470 is closed as described above with reference to FIG. ). Thereafter, the water discharge nozzle extends and cleaning is resumed (L). Also at this time, the collision between the hot air damper 470 and the nozzle damper 460 is prevented.

  For example, when the user operates the “stop” switch after operating the “wet” cleaning switch and then operates the “dry” switch, the control is executed in the order of these instructions. That's fine. However, even in this case, if the “dry” switch is pressed immediately after the “stop” switch is pressed, the nozzle damper 460 may not be completely closed. According to this specific example, since the opening operation of the hot air damper 470 is not immediately started, it is possible to wait for a predetermined timing.

Next, the internal structure of the toilet apparatus according to this embodiment will be described with reference to a specific example.
FIG. 21 is a perspective view of the inside of the main body viewed from the front.
The main body 400 includes a case cover 430 and a case plate 770 that constitute a housing. A human body detection sensor 500 and a display unit 670 are appropriately provided on the upper surface of the case cover 430.

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.

  As described above with reference to FIG. 2 and the like, the nozzle unit 610 has a water discharge nozzle that can freely move back and forth, and has a role of washing 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.

  A control unit 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 the remote controller (FIG. 19) is impossible. It 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 hot air from the discharge port 450 (see FIG. 15).
The control unit 640 of the main body 400 having such various mechanisms performs the control described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 20, or the nozzle damper 460 and the hot air damper 470 are related to FIGS. 4 and 7 to 14. It has the opening and closing mechanism described above.

Next, in the present embodiment, the effect of retreating the front surface of the main body portion backward to form a curved concave surface will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 22 is a perspective view of the toilet apparatus according to the present embodiment as viewed from the front with the toilet seat and the toilet lid removed.
Moreover, FIG. 23 is the perspective view which looked at the toilet apparatus of the comparative example from the front.
22 and 23 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 mm 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.

Moreover, FIG. 24 is sectional drawing of the toilet apparatus of this embodiment.
Moreover, FIG. 25 is sectional drawing of the toilet apparatus of a comparative example.
FIGS. 24 and 25 are schematic diagrams for explaining a range seen from the user's eye who cleans the toilet while squatting in front of the toilet 800. FIG.

  First, a comparative example will be described. In the comparative example shown in FIGS. 23 and 25, 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.

  Further, when the main body 400 protrudes above the bowl 810 as described above, even if dirt adheres to the rear upper part of the bowl 810, it is difficult to clean the portion. That is, in the case of the comparative example shown in FIG. 23, 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.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 24, the curved surface 402 is formed by retreating the front surface of the main body 400, so that the body can be used in a standing position. In addition, it is difficult for small water to be applied, and the user is not given a visual stenosis. In addition, as described above with reference to FIG. 17, 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 using the male standing position, 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 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. 24, 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 as seen 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. 26 is a schematic plan view for explaining the relationship between the curved concave surface and the bowl in the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 26, the curved concave surface 402 of the main body has a shape 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 nozzle damper 460 and the electric open / close hot air damper 470 are provided near the center thereof. By opening and closing 470 by the nozzle motor 619 and the transmission mechanism 472, the sanitary washing apparatus can be operated smoothly without the dampers 460 and 470 colliding with each other and causing damage or failure.
