Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a urinal which prevents urine from scattering to the outside of the urinal and prevents the odor of the urine when a person urinates in a standing position.SOLUTION: A discharge port 4 for discharging wind sent from an air blower 2 toward a lower front part 10 of a urinal 1 is provided at the upper outside of the urinal 1, and two human body detection sensors which are a surrounding area detection sensor 7a and a close distance area detection sensor 7b are provided near the discharge port 4. When a user approaches the urinal 1, the surrounding area detection sensor 7a detects a human body and the air blower 2 operates after five to eight seconds and discharges slight breeze from the discharge port 4. This breeze becomes a wind force that swings the urine during urination after about two to four seconds, making it difficult to urinate. When a urinating person approaches the urinal 1 more closely, the close distance area detection sensor 7b detects a human body and the air blower 2 stops temporarily, thus allowing the person to urinate.

Description

  The present invention relates to prevention of urine scattering and odor prevention outside a urinal when a man urinates into a urinal.

  Conventionally, when a man urinates while standing in a parking lot on a highway or in a public restroom at a popular amusement park, a part of the urine was scattered outside the urinal. Alternatively, the urine immediately after urination dripped down and soiled the urinal area. In addition, there was a smell of urine, which caused discomfort to those who used the toilet. Various methods have been taken to solve this problem.

  In order to solve these problems, a mat is laid on the floor in front of the urinal to absorb urine scattered on the mat, and the absorbed mat is replaced or washed away with water. It was.

  As another example, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique of a urine scattering prevention device for a urinal in which a urine scattering prevention device is provided on a urine-holding wall surface of a urinal. Patent Document 2 discloses a floor surface drying and deodorizing apparatus in a men's floor-mounted urinal. Patent Document 3 discloses a urine scattering prevention structure and a urine scattering prevention mat technology. Patent Document 4 discloses a urine scattering prevention tray for male urinals.

  However, as described above, the means for providing the urinal with accessories such as a urine receiving mat and a urine receiving tray needs to be constantly cleaned, and may be uncomfortable in appearance.

  Therefore, an object underlying the present invention is to provide a urinal that prevents urine scattering and urine odor so that urine is not spilled out of the urinal without requiring constant cleaning. To do.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the means of the present invention taken to solve the above-described problems are as follows. In the first means, a blower is provided at one end side, a blower hole is provided at the intermediate part, and a discharge port for releasing the wind sent from the blower is provided at the other end side in the vicinity of the upper peripheral part of the urinal And is directed toward the lower part of the urinal. Further, in the vicinity of the urinal, a peripheral area detection sensor for detecting a human body located around the urinal and operating the blower, and a human body located in a close range area of the urinal and detecting the human body A short-distance area detection sensor that temporarily interrupts the air blower, and a timer having an adjustment unit that adjusts a time difference from when the surrounding area detection sensor detects a human body until the blower operates. And a urinal comprising a transformer for transforming the voltage of the blower.

According to this, when a human body enters the vicinity of the urinal, when the peripheral area detection sensor detects the human body, the timer operates and the operation of the blower is started after several seconds. Further, since the blower starts to operate and the transformer unit also acts and the voltage of the blower shifts to a specific voltage while increasing the voltage from a low voltage, the wind emitted from the discharge port is also reduced from the wind to the wind It becomes wind strength that shakes the urine of those who urinate. However, when a human body enters a close-distance area of the space area above the urine receiving part of the urinal, the close-distance area detection sensor detects the human body and the operation of the blower is stopped and discharged from the discharge port. The wind is stopped. Adjustment of the time difference from when the timer acts until the blower is activated is performed by the adjustment unit of the timer, and it is desirable to activate the blower after about 5 to 8 seconds, Furthermore, it is desirable that the voltage is first transformed from a low voltage to a specific voltage in about 2 to 4 seconds after the blower is activated. This specific voltage is a voltage adjusted to the wind intensity that shakes the urine during urination. The outlet is preferably provided so as to protrude slightly forward from the upper outer side of the peripheral edge of the urinal, and there are two peripheral area detection sensors and a close-range area detection sensor adjacent to the outlet. It is desirable to provide the human body detection sensor. The discharge port or the human body detection sensor may be incorporated in the upper part of the urinal.

The second means is a urinal according to the first means, characterized in that a deodorant for preventing odor or an injector for injecting a fragrance is provided in the vicinity of the blower.

According to this, a deodorizer or a deodorizer is inject | poured from the said air blower, is included in the wind from the said discharge port, and is discharge | released.

  According to the present invention, a person who urinates by blowing air toward the lower part of the front part of the urinal has an anxiety that the urine bounces back to himself in the conventional standing position, and stands closer to the urinal. It is possible to prevent the urine from splashing out of the urinal and to prevent the floor surface of the urinal from being soiled. Moreover, since the deodorizer injected into the air blowing hole from the injector after urination is released into the air together with the wind from the outlet, the odor is prevented, and further, the unpleasant feeling due to the bad odor can be eliminated.

It is a perspective view of an example urinal which shows an embodiment of this invention.
