Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technology in which an operation switch such as for washing a butt of a toilet or drying with hot air is provided on a wall and a signal is sent to a toilet body to enable remote control.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a remote control device has been arranged on a wall for facilitating operations such as poster washing, bidet cleaning, hot air drying, and the like. A technique for transmitting a signal to a receiving unit by using, so that the signal can be operated is known.

[0003]

However, since the receiving part of the conventional remote control device is arranged at one end of the sub-operation box beside the toilet seat or one end of the low tank, the remote control device is mounted on the wall opposite to the receiving part. If it is arranged, it is difficult for the user to receive a signal because it is hardly reflected when the user is blocked by a user, or when the opposite wall such as a black wall or with a bus is far away. In addition, since the remote control device is placed at a position where it is easy to operate when sitting on the toilet seat, the light receiving unit is also placed at a position where it is easy to receive from the remote control device, so a position with high importance in design Will be provided with a receiver,
It was supposed to lower the aesthetics.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve such a problem, the present invention is directed to a remote control device for operating a toilet or the like. It is provided.

[0005]

Therefore, when an operation signal is transmitted from the transmission unit of the remote control device, the signal is input to the reception unit on the easy-to-receive side, and the solenoid valve, the motor, etc. are actuated to perform the desired cleaning or hot air discharge. Is performed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a front view of a Western-style toilet bowl, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the same. FIG. 3 is a side view of the same.

First, a description will be given of the whole structure. A low tank 4 is disposed on the rear part of the toilet 1, a hand washing spout 5 is provided on the upper part of the low tank 4, and a toilet cleaning handle 9 is provided on a lower side of one side of the low tank 4. Is arranged, and a sub-operation box 7 is arranged at the lower side of the other side.
The water supply pipe 10 is inserted into the lower toilet 1 and the water supply pipe 10 is inserted.
A ball tap is interposed between the end and the hand-washing spout 5 in the low tank 4 so that when a certain amount of water accumulates in the low tank 4, water supply is stopped by the ball tap. A pivot portion is provided at the lower front part of the low tank 4 so that the toilet seat 2 and the toilet lid 3 can rotate.
A seating sensor 20 is provided so that operations such as washing can be performed only when a user sits down. The wind fan is decorated.

An operation box 6 for remote control is attached to a position where the user can easily reach and operate when the user sits on the wall in the toilet room, and a hot air switch is provided on the operation box 6. 12, a bidet cleaning switch 13, a bottom cleaning switch 14, a stop switch 16, a toilet cleaning switch 19, a clock 11, and a transmission unit 17 are arranged.
Similarly to the operation box 6, the sub operation box 7 is provided with a hot air switch, a bidet cleaning switch, a bottom cleaning switch, a stop switch, a toilet seat temperature adjustment dial, and a hot water temperature setting dial. It can be operated even if it breaks down. However, the sub-operation box 7 is covered with a lid in the figure.

A receiving section 21 for receiving the optical signal from the transmitting section 17 is disposed at two places on the left and right from the center of the toilet in a front view. For example, the receiving sections 21L and 21R are provided on the skirt section 1a under the toilet 1. They are placed in inconspicuous positions on both sides, and are placed in places that have little effect on design decisions. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, receiving parts 21L 'and 21R' are provided near the sub-operation box 7 and the toilet washing handle 9, respectively, or as shown in FIG. 21R "can also be provided. However, the receiving unit 21 may be provided with mounting portions of the receiving unit on both sides, and in consideration of the arrangement of the operation box when installing the toilet, the receiving unit 21 may be installed on the mounting portion only on one side. It is also possible to arrange the receiving units on both sides and arrange the left and right changeover switches in the sub-operation box 7 so that the side from which the signal from the operation box is easily received can be selected.

In such a configuration, the user can use the toilet seat 2
When the user sits down, the sensor 20 is turned on and the bidet washing and buttocks washing switches are operated to be used. An optical signal is emitted from the transmitting unit 17, and the receiving unit 21 on the toilet side receives the signal and opens the solenoid valve or drives the fan via the drive circuit, and when the stop switch 16 is pressed, the signal is transmitted. It stops the operation.

[0011]

[Effect of the Invention] The present invention is constructed as described above, and has the following effects. That is, since the receiving unit can be arranged on the left and right, the operation box on the transmitting side of the remote control device can receive regardless of the arrangement of the entrance, the wall, the bath, etc. in the toilet room, and can be located at an arbitrary position where the operation is easy. The operation box can now be arranged, and the operation can be performed reliably. In addition, the position of the receiving unit does not need to consider the position of the operation box, so that the receiving unit can be disposed at a position that is not noticeable in design, and the design restrictions are reduced.
