[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for disinfecting a toilet seat of a Western-style toilet, and more particularly to a disinfection apparatus for disinfecting a toilet seat by spraying a disinfectant solution on the toilet seat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various attempts have been made to improve the unsanitaryness of directly contacting the buttocks with a toilet seat in a Western-style toilet of a public facility used by an unspecified number of people. As one of them, it has been proposed to spray a disinfectant solution on the toilet seat,
For example, the following A and B are disclosed.

A. Provide a disinfectant spray nozzle on the toilet lid,
Disinfectant is sprayed on the toilet seat. For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-2294, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-165367, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-500414, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-284220,
JP-A 1-297028.

B. An arm provided with a movable upper area of the toilet seat, and a disinfectant is sprayed on the toilet seat by a nozzle provided at a tip of the arm. For example, JP-A-1-37918.

[0005]

In the above-mentioned type A, although the disinfectant can be evenly sprayed over the entire area of the toilet seat, a large amount of the disinfectant can be concentrated on a specific portion having a large amount of dirt. Can not be sprayed.

The type B requires a mechanism for turning and horizontally moving the arm.
The mechanism is complicated as a whole disinfection device.

Further, the type B has a problem that it is easily damaged by mischief. That is, it is necessary to make the toilet of a public facility hard to be broken because it is very susceptible to mischief, such as being knocked or hit. However, a cantilevered arm such as the B type is very easily broken when a load is applied to the distal end side.

Switch via electrical wiring built into the tube
Operation is easy because the pump can be controlled
No. According to the toilet seat disinfecting apparatus of claim 2, the disinfectant storage tank and
And the pump are housed in the toilet seat box at the rear of the toilet
Therefore, it is compact and looks good.

Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a Western-style toilet provided with a toilet seat disinfecting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the toilet seat box in a state where a lid of the toilet seat box is removed, and FIG.
It is sectional drawing which follows the III-III line of a figure.

In FIG. 1, a toilet seat box 2 is mounted on a rear upper surface of a Western style toilet 1, and a toilet seat 3 is pivotally mounted on the front side of the toilet seat box 2. In the toilet seat box 2, as shown in FIG. 2, a disinfectant storage tank 4 and a pump unit 6 connected to the disinfectant storage tank 4 via a pipe 5;
A pipe 7 for sending a disinfecting solution from the pump unit 6 is provided.

The toilet seat box 2 is provided with a nozzle storage chamber 9 with the inside thereof partitioned by a partition wall 8, and an insertion port 10 provided on a side surface of the toilet seat box 2.
It is possible to insert a spray nozzle 11 to be described later.

As shown in FIG. 3, the tip of the pipe 7 is connected to a joint 12, and the joint 12 and the spray nozzle 11 are connected to a tube 1 made of a soft synthetic resin.
3 are connected. An electric wiring is incorporated in the tube 13, and a signal of a switch 15 provided in the spray nozzle 11 is transmitted through the electric wiring and the electric wiring 14 provided in the nozzle storage chamber 9. It is configured to be able to transmit to the pump unit 6.

In the Western-style toilet 1 provided with the toilet seat disinfecting apparatus 16 configured as described above, the user of the Western-style toilet 1 can spray the spray nozzle 1 if necessary before using the Western-style toilet.
1 is taken out of the toilet seat box 2 and the switch 15 is pressed to spray the disinfectant on the toilet seat 3. After the disinfectant is wiped off with toilet paper or the like to disinfect and clean the toilet seat 3, the Western-style toilet 1 is used.

Therefore, the Western style toilet 1 can be used in an extremely clean and clean state. Further, when the spraying nozzle 11 is not used, the spraying nozzle 11 can be inserted and stored in the nozzle storage chamber 9, so that the appearance in the toilet room is extremely clean. Further, the spray nozzle 11 is moved to the nozzle storage chamber 9.
If it is stored inside, the spray nozzle 11 is very unlikely to be mischievous because it does not come into direct contact with the toilet user's eyes.

Since the disinfectant is sprayed on the toilet seat 3 by gripping the spray nozzle 11, a large amount of the disinfectant can be applied to the toilet seat 3 in a particularly concentrated area.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, an opening 17 is provided at the lower side of the partition wall 8. Further, a drain port 18 is provided on the bottom surface of the toilet seat box 2, and the drain port 18 is a toilet bowl 19 of the Western-style toilet 1.
It is arranged to face. In this embodiment, the pump unit 6 has a structure in which a pump and a control circuit for the pump are built in a waterproof casing 6a in order to allow the washing of the toilet seat box 2 with water.

Therefore, all parts of the toilet seat box 2 including the nozzle storage chamber 9 can be washed with water, and the water can be discharged from the drain port 18 to the toilet bowl 19. For this reason, cleaning inside the toilet seat box 2 is extremely easy.

When replenishing the disinfecting solution in the disinfecting solution storage tank 4, the cap 4a is removed and the disinfecting solution is injected into the storage tank 4. Even if the disinfecting solution is spilled at the time of the injection, the disinfecting solution is spilled. The disinfecting solution can be discharged from the drain port 18 into the toilet bowl 19.

In the above embodiment, the toilet seat disinfecting device is incorporated in the toilet seat box 2, but in the present invention, the toilet seat disinfecting device may be installed separately from the Western style toilet.

[0021]

[Effect] As described above, according to the toilet seat disinfection device of the present invention,
The toilet seat can be sufficiently disinfected with the disinfecting solution sprayed from the spray nozzle. Further, according to the device of the present invention, when there is a locally severely soiled portion on the toilet seat, a large amount of the disinfecting solution can be sprayed concentrated on this portion, and the toilet seat can be used extremely hygienically.

Further, the toilet seat disinfecting apparatus of the present invention is configured to be relatively robust, and is unlikely to be damaged even if subjected to mischief. Therefore, the toilet seat disinfecting apparatus of the present invention has excellent durability even when installed in a toilet room of a public facility.
