  When performing maintenance in a state where the toilet seat device A having the above configuration is assembled to the toilet body B, first, the cover 34 is removed from the casing 20, and then the lid member 33 is removed from the casing 20 and the work hole 31. And the connectors 15 and 30 are exposed so that they can be seen from the upper surface of the casing 20. Then, a hand is inserted into the work hole 31 to remove the movable connector 30 from the fixed connector 15, and then the casing 20 is removed from the front base plate 11 </ b> F of the base member 10. By the above, it will be in the state which can perform the maintenance with respect to the apparatus provided in the base member 10, and the maintenance with respect to the apparatus provided in the casing 20. FIG.

  After the maintenance of the equipment is completed, the parts are assembled according to the reverse procedure. That is, in a state where the lid member 33 is not attached, the movable side connector 30 of the functional members 24 to 28 (the operating members 24 and 25 and the signal output members 26, 27, and 28) provided on the inner surface side of the casing 20 is connected. As shown in FIG. 1, the work hole 31 is pulled out to the upper surface side of the casing 20. Thereafter, the casing 20 is assembled to the front base plate 11 </ b> F of the base member 10 while keeping the movable connector 30 pulled out to the upper surface side of the casing 20. As a result, almost the entire base member 10 is covered with the casing 20 from above, and only the fixed-side connector 15 exposed at the work hole 31 and the cover portion 18 exposed at the notch 32 are invisible.

  Thereafter, the movable connectors 30 drawn on the upper surface of the casing 20 are inserted into the work holes 31 and connected to the corresponding fixed connectors 15 from above. When connecting the movable connector 30 to the fixed connector 15, the electric wire 29 connected to the movable connector 30 is pulled by the movable connector 30 and accommodated in the casing 20 from the work hole 31. The trouble of pushing the electric wire 29 into the casing 20 after the operations of the connectors 15 and 30 is saved.

  After all the movable connectors 30 are connected to the fixed connector 15, the lid member 33 is attached to the casing 20 to close the work hole 31. After that, the cover 34 is assembled to the casing 20. Thus, the toilet seat device A is restored to the original form, and the maintenance work is completed.

  When the movable connector 30 is connected to the fixed connector 15, the functional members (actuating members 24, 25 and signal output members 26, 27, 28) are connected to the control board 13 via both connectors 15, 30. It is possible to supply power to the functional members (the operating members 24 and 25 and the signal output members 26, 27, and 28) via the connectors 15 and 30. In addition, by connecting both connectors 15 and 30, electrical signals are transmitted and received in the functional members (acting members 24 and 25 and signal output members 26, 27 and 28), that is, functional members (acting members 24 and 25 and signal output members). 26, 27, 28) and the control board 13 can transmit and receive electrical signals (control signals and detection signals). Accordingly, the operation of the operation members 24 and 25 can be controlled based on the detection signal input to the signal output members 26, 27, and 28 on the control board 13.

Next, a usage pattern of the toilet device will be described.
When the toilet device is not used and the user is away from the toilet device, the toilet lid 22 is held in a state where the opening of the toilet bowl Ba is closed, and the air cleaning device 24 is stopped. In this state, when the operator approaches the toilet device, the opening / closing motor 25 is actuated based on the detection signal input from the human sensor 27 to the control board 13 and the toilet lid 22 is flipped up to the upper open position. . Thereafter, when the user is seated on the toilet seat 21, the seating time of the user is detected based on a detection signal input from the seating sensor 28 to the control board 13. When the user operates the operation panel on the wall surface for local cleaning after using the user, the local cleaning device 19 is activated based on the detection signal input from the remote control sensor 26 to the control board 13, and from the nozzle 19b. Wash water is spouted out. The air cleaning device 24 is operated based on the detection signal from the human sensor 27 or the detection signal from the seating sensor 28.

When the user stands up and leaves the toilet seat 21 after the local cleaning is performed, an amount of cleaning water corresponding to the sitting time is received from the toilet bowl cleaning device based on a signal input to the control board 13 from the seating sensor 28. The toilet bowl Ba flows and is washed. The toilet bowl Ba can be arbitrarily washed by the user by operating the operation panel on the wall surface. Further, based on a signal from the seating sensor 28, after a certain time has passed since the user left the toilet seat 21, the opening / closing motor 25 is operated, and the toilet lid 22 swings to the closed position, so that the toilet bowl Ba The opening is closed. Further, based on a signal from the seating sensor 28, the operation of the air cleaning device 24 is stopped.
When a man makes a small use, if the operation panel on the wall surface is operated, the opening / closing motor 25 is activated by the detection signal from the remote control sensor 26 and the toilet seat 21 is flipped up. In addition, after the small use is completed, the toilet seat 21 is lowered and can be seated by operating the operation panel.

  When cleaning, the front base plate 11F is moved upward together with the casing 20 by operating the operation panel on the wall surface, thereby exposing the rear portion of the toilet bowl Ba covered with the front base plate 11F and exposing it. Can be cleaned. At this time, the functional members (actuating members 24, 25 and signal output members 26, 27, 28) attached to the casing 20 are displaced so as to escape upward with respect to the fixed connector 15 of the rear base plate 11R. However, since the electric wire 29 connected to the movable connector 30 has a necessary wiring length, the connection portion between the electric wire 29 and the functional members 24 to 28, the fixed connector 15 and the movable connector 30. There is no possibility that a load acts on the connection part.

  When performing maintenance on the strainer of the toilet bowl cleaning device and the electromagnetic on-off valve, the cover 34 may be removed from the casing 20 to expose the notch 32 and the cover 18. Also, when performing maintenance of the connection portion between the fixed connector 15 and the movable connector 30, the cover 34 may be removed from the casing 20, and the lid member 33 may be removed to open the work hole 31.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the fixed connector 15 is fixedly provided in the region covered with the casing 20 in the base member 10, and the movable connector 30 is connected to the fixed connector 15. Since the connectors can be fitted, it is not necessary to pull out the fixed connector 15 to the outside of the casing 20 when connecting both the connectors 15 and 30. Moreover, the operation | work which accommodates the connected fixed side connector 15 in the casing 20 is also unnecessary. As described above, since the work of pulling out and storing the fixed connector 15 is omitted, the workability when the connectors 15 and 30 are connected is excellent.

  Further, since the fixed connector 15 is disposed in a region of the base member 10 that is covered with the casing 20, there is a concern that the casing 20 may interfere with the connection work between the connectors 15 and 30. As a countermeasure, it is conceivable to remove the casing 20 from the base member 10 and place it beside the connector when connecting the connector. In this case, the wiring length of the electric wire 29 of the movable connector 30 must be increased. Don't be.

  In that respect, in the present embodiment, the working hole 31 is formed in the casing 20 so that the region facing the fixed connector 15 is opened, and the fixed connector 15 is attached to the base member 10 in a state where the casing 20 is assembled to the base member 10. Since it is exposed to the upper surface side of the casing 20 through the work hole 31, the connection work between the fixed connector 15 and the movable connector 30 is performed through the work hole 31 in a state where the casing 20 is assembled to the base member 10. be able to. Therefore, work such as maintenance is easy, and the length of wiring of the electric wire 29 of the movable connector 30 can be shortened.

Since the casing 20 is provided with a lid member 33 capable of closing the opening region of the work hole 31, after connecting both the connectors 15 and 30, the work hole 31 is closed with the lid member 33. Both the connected connectors 15 and 30 can be protected from foreign matter interference.
Further, a cover 34 is attached to the casing 20 so as to cover at least the region where the work hole 31 is formed on the outer surface thereof, and the work hole 31 and the notch 32 can be covered by the cover 34. As a result, it is possible to improve the aesthetic appearance, and it is possible to prevent water from entering the casing 20 from the work hole 31 and the notch 32 and entry of foreign matter.

  In view of the fact that the fixed connector 15 is formed upward, the base member 10 is configured to rise upward to a position higher than the fixed connector 15 so as to surround the fixed connector 15. A peripheral wall 17 is provided. Therefore, in a state where the casing 20 is not assembled to the base member 10 and the upper surface of the base member 10 is exposed, the fixed-side connector 15 is protected from interference from foreign matter and from the side by the peripheral wall 17. Is done.

  Further, the peripheral wall 17 is divided into a plurality of wall portions 17 a along an annular region surrounding the fixed connector 15, and the communication portion through which the electric wire 29 of the movable connector 30 can pass through the divided portion of the peripheral wall 17. 17b. As a result, even if the vertical distance between the upper end of the peripheral wall 17 and the casing 20 is narrow, the wire 29 of the movable connector 30 is connected to the fixed connector 15 by the communication portion 17b. A routing route can be secured.
