  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. First, a common basic configuration of the remote control device 1 according to the following embodiments (FIGS. 1, 4 and 5) will be described.

  The remote control device 1 is a device that includes a remote control fixture 40 that is fixed to a wall surface 3 of a building, and a remote control body 10 that is detachably installed on the remote control fixture 40. The remote control fixture 40 includes a support portion 42 that supports the remote control main body 10 from below. On the other hand, the remote control main body 10 includes engagement receiving portions 11 and 12 in which at least a part of the support portion 42 is engaged in the middle portion in the thickness direction, and can be supported and installed on the remote control attachment 40 .

  The three types of remote control devices 1 shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 have substantially the same shape with respect to the remote control main body 10, and in particular, the arrangement of the operation switches on the front and back surfaces is the same for all three types.

  Next, the remote control device 1 of each embodiment will be described.

  The remote control device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 includes a horizontally long remote control body 10 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and a remote control mounting tool 40.

  Various switches are disposed on the outer surface of the remote control main body 10. Specifically, two toilet cleaning switches 18 for large and small cleaning, a toilet seat opening / closing switch 19 and a toilet lid opening / closing switch 20 are arranged on an upper surface 10c inclined downward toward the front.

  A main operation switch group 15 is disposed on the surface 10a (front) of the remote control main body 10, and a sub operation switch group 16 on the back surface 10b (back) and an attachment / detachment port of the battery unit 17 in which the battery is installed. 17a is disposed.

  The main operation switch group 15 is a switch group that is frequently operated each time the toilet is used, like the switches arranged on the upper surface 10c (see FIGS. 1A and 2A). In this example, a local cleaning switch 23, a bidet cleaning switch 24, a drying switch 25, and a stop switch 22 are arranged as the main operation switch group 15. Furthermore, a lamp-equipped personal setting switch 26 (a switch that can be linked to an individual beforehand to change the washing strength and the washing position), a lamp-equipped washing strength (water force) setting switch 27 and a privacy sound generation switch 28 are arranged.

  Examples of the sub operation switch group 16 include switches that are not used frequently (see FIG. 2B). In this example, a nozzle cleaning setting switch, a hot water temperature setting switch, a toilet seat temperature setting switch, a washing position setting switch, a power deodorization setting switch, and the like are arranged as the sub operation switch group 16.

  In addition, the battery unit 17 is arranged at the lower part of the remote control body 10, and an attaching / detaching port 17 a and an opening / closing lid 17 b for closing the opening 17 a are provided adjacent to the sub operation switch group 16. The open / close lid 17b is a slide lid in which the attachment / detachment opening 17a opens from the back surface 10b to the bottom surface 10d by shifting downward (see FIGS. 2B, 2D, and 2E).

  Further, radio signal transmitters 21 are disposed at both corners from the left and right ends of the upper surface 10c of the remote control body 10 to the side surface 10e. The toilet body (not shown) is provided with a receiving unit (not shown) that receives a signal transmitted from the radio signal transmitting unit 21.

  The inside of the remote control main body 10 is a space 14 in which a battery unit 17 and an electronic board (not shown) are disposed (see FIG. 2 (e)). It protrudes from the side. The cylindrical portion 11 internally has a recess having an opening 11a on the lower surface 10d, and this recess serves as an engagement receiving portion for receiving a part of the support portion 42 of the remote control fixture 40 described above from the opening 11a. It is configured.

  As described above, the cylindrical portion (recessed portion) 11 (and its opening 11a) is arranged in the middle portion of the remote control body 10 in the thickness direction. More specific arrangement positions will be described later along with the description of FIG.

  On the other hand, the remote control fixture 40 has a flat plate-like mounting portion 41 fixed to the wall surface 3, a mounting plate portion 43 for mounting the remote control main body 10, and both end portions of the mounting plate portion 43 in the longitudinal direction. And a rod-like protrusion 44 disposed on the upper surface. A support portion 42 is configured by the placement plate portion 43 and the two rod-like protrusions 44. That is, the remote control body 10 is attached to the remote control fixture 40 so as to move in the vertical direction from above, and is supported by the support portion 42 from below.

  The bar-shaped protrusion 44 that is a part of the support portion 42 acts as an engaging portion to engage with the engaging receiving portion 11 of the remote control main body 10, and the remote control main body 10 is placed on the mounting plate portion 43, so that the wall surface 3 indirectly.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the remote control main body 10 according to the present embodiment can be installed not only with the front surface 10a facing forward, but also with the back surface 10b facing forward. These two installation modes will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3A is an installation mode diagram with the front surface 10a of the remote control body 10 facing forward, and FIG. 3B is an installation mode diagram with the back surface 10b facing forward.

  In order to allow the remote control body 10 to be installed on the remote control fixture 40 so that the front and back sides can be reversed, the following dimensional relationship is required between the remote control body 10 and the remote control fixture 40.

  As shown in FIGS. 2D, 2E, and 3, the thickness dimension from the back surface side opening edge portion 11b of the opening 11a of the cylindrical portion 11 to the back surface 10b is L1, and the opening side edge portion of the cylindrical portion 11 is opened. The thickness dimension from 11c to the surface 10a is L2. Any of the thickness dimensions L1 and L2 is smaller than or equal to the dimension L3 between the mounting portion 41 of the remote control mounting tool 40 and the rod-shaped protrusion 44. That is, in order to allow the remote controller body 10 to be installed so that the front and back sides can be reversed, the magnitude relationship of L1 ≦ L3 and L2 ≦ L3 is required. The back side opening edge 11b and the front side opening edge 11c are, as shown in FIG. 2D, an intersection point of the center line C of the opening 11a parallel to the side 10e and the circular shape of the opening 11a. Ru.

  Because of such a dimensional relationship, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the back surface 10b faces forward even when the remote control body 10 faces the remote control fixture 40 with the front surface 10a facing forward. It can be installed even in

  Note that the dimension L1 and the dimension L2 are substantially the same dimension, and the remote control main body 10 is almost in contact with the surface of the mounting portion 41 regardless of which surface is facing forward (the values of L1, L2, and L3 are substantially equal to each other). ) Is desirable. This is preferable because it is easy to operate both the main operation switch group 15 and the sub operation switch group 16, but they need not have the same value. In the example of the illustrated example, L2 is slightly smaller than L1. Therefore, in the installation with the front surface 10a facing forward, the back surface 10b of the remote control main body 10 substantially contacts the surface of the mounting portion 41 (FIG. 3 (a )reference). On the other hand, in the installation in which the back surface 10b of the remote control main body 10 is directed forward, a slight gap S is formed between the surface 10a of the remote control main body 10 and the surface of the mounting portion 41 (see FIG. 3B).

  As described above, since the remote control main body 10 can be installed on the remote control fixture 40 so as to be able to be turned upside down, various operations can be performed with the remote control main body 10 installed on the wall surface 3. In particular, since there are many small setting switches on the back surface 10b of the remote control main body 10, operation is easier than when the remote control main body 10 is held by hand. In addition, the battery can be attached and detached with both hands without placing the remote control main body 10 on the upper surface or the floor surface of the toilet lid.

  Moreover, since the rod-shaped protrusion 44 is configured to engage with the cylindrical portion (recessed portion) 11, the remote control main body 10 can be positioned in the left-right direction. Therefore, the remote control fixture 40 does not require a side plate for preventing the left and right displacement of the remote control main body 10 and can be simplified in shape. Further, since the side surface 10e of the remote control main body 10 is exposed, another operation switch can be arranged on the side surface 10e, or the radio signal transmission unit 21 can be arranged at the center of the side surface 10e.

  The rod-shaped protrusion 44 is not limited to the cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 1, and may be a prismatic shape or a cylindrical shape having a cross-sectional ellipse. In addition, by forming the bar-shaped protrusion 44 elongated in the width direction of the remote control fixture 40, the number of the bar-shaped protrusions 44 can be reduced to one. In any of these, the shape of the concave portion (engagement receiving portion) 11 may be slightly larger and substantially the same shape as the rod-shaped protrusion 44.

  The example of FIG. 4 is exemplified as the one having substantially the same configuration as the remote control device 1 of FIG. 1. In this remote control device 1, the remote control body 10 is the same as that in FIG. 1, while the remote control fixture 40 is different from that in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 4B, the remote control fixture 40 is separated into two fixtures of the same shape, and in each of the separate fixtures 40a, the mounting portion 41 and the mounting plate portion 43 are substantially L. The rod-like protrusion 44 is formed upright on the upper surface of the mounting plate 43.

  In the remote control device 1 of FIG. 4, the relationship between the rod-shaped protrusion 44 (engagement portion) that is a part of the support portion 42 and the engagement receiving portion 11 that engages and receives the engagement portion 44 is shown in FIG. It is similar to Therefore, the same effect as that of FIG. 1 is produced.

  Moreover, since the thing of this embodiment can form the remote control attachment 40 with few materials, manufacturing cost can be held down. Since both separation fixtures 40a having the same shape and size can be used, the number of members is increased by one from that in FIG. 1, but there is no risk of inventory management becoming complicated. Furthermore, since the separation fixture 40a is sufficiently smaller than the remote control fixture 40 of FIG. 1, the inventory space and the packaging box can be reduced.

  Although the two examples of supporting the lower surface 10d of the remote control main body 10 as the supported portion 13 by the remote control attachment 40 have been described above, the side surface 10e is supported as in the remote control device 1 shown in FIG. May be

  The remote control main body 10 of FIG. 5 has a longitudinal groove 12 which is an engagement receiving portion on the side surface 10 e. The lower end of the vertical groove 12 is open, while the upper end is closed. The closed portion 12 a is the supported portion 13.

  On the other hand, the remote control fixture 40 has a mounting portion 41 for fixing to the wall surface 3, left and right side plate portions 45, and a vertical projection 46 protruding so as to face the front end of the side plate portion 45. A supporting portion 43 for supporting the remote control main body 10 from the side plate portion 45 and the vertical projection 46 is configured.

  The vertical protrusion 46 that is a part of the support portion 43 is an engaging portion, and this engaging portion engages with the engagement receiving portion 12 of the remote control main body 10, and the closing portion 12 a ( The remote control main body 10 is indirectly disposed on the wall surface 3 by supporting the supported portion 13) from the lower side.

  The remote control main body 10 can be attached in parallel with the remote control attachment 40 so as to slide from above. Alternatively, the remote control main body 10 can be pushed in from the front side of the remote control attachment 40 for elastic attachment.

  In order to allow the remote control body 10 to be mounted so that it can be turned upside down, the outer thickness dimensions L1 and L2 of the edge 12b in the groove width direction of the vertical groove 12, the mounting portion 41 of the remote control mounting tool 40, and the vertical The relationship between the protrusions 46 and the dimension L3 is L1 ≦ L3 and L2 ≦ L3.

  Since this remote control device 1 is also configured as described above, the same effects as those shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 can be obtained. Further, in the remote control device 1, the lower part of the remote control body 10 is opened even when the remote control body 10 is installed on the remote control fixture 40. Therefore, when replacing the battery with the back surface 10b facing forward, the sliding operation of the open / close lid 17b is particularly easy.

  Further, the remote control fixture 40 shown in FIG. 5 is an integral one, but it may be separated into right and left like the one shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, although the remote control main body 10 can be moved vertically to be attached to and detached from the remote control fixture 40 in the above description, the remote control main body 10 can be moved horizontally for movement (width direction of the remote control main body 10) It is also good. For example, in place of the rod-like protrusion 44, a horizontal rib extending in the width direction is provided on the mounting plate portion 41 of the remote control fixture 40 of FIG. The thing which enabled it to install a main part may be used. According to such a remote control device, the remote control main body can be installed by any operation of sliding downward and sliding in the width direction.
