Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a deodorizer, and more particularly to a deodorizer for a toilet.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in the above-mentioned toilet deodorizer, the air in the toilet bowl is sucked into the main body, and the ozone generated by the ozone generating means provided in the main body deodorizes the sucked air and filters the deodorized air. There was something that exhausted into the toilet room after passing through.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the deodorizer as described above, the passage through which the sucked air passes is relatively short in the main body, and there is little chance of contact between ozone and the sucked air. Even though ozone was passed through the filter, it was not completely collected and was exhausted into the toilet room, which was uncomfortable for the user.

An object of the present invention is to increase the chance of contact between ozone and sucked air to enhance the deodorizing effect. Another object of the present invention is to prevent residual ozone from being directly discharged into the toilet room. Another object of the present invention is to prevent the deodorizer itself from being damaged by ozone.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve each of the above objects, in the present invention, first, an air intake passage having an air intake opening is introduced into the body of the toilet. A suction means is connected to the intake passage in the main body to suck the air in the toilet into the intake passage. Further, the exhaust passage connected to the suction means is led out from the main body section, and the exhaust port of the exhaust passage is located inside the toilet bowl. The exhaust passage is bent inside the main body. Ozone generating means for supplying ozone to deodorize the sucked air in the toilet bowl is provided in the main body portion. Filter means for reducing ozone remaining in the deodorized air is provided at the end of the exhaust passage in the main body.

In the deodorizer of the present invention, the exhaust passage and the ozone generating means may be sealed inside the main body. Further, the intake port of the intake passage may be located below the toilet bowl, and the exhaust port of the exhaust passage may be located above the intake port.

[0007]

[Action / effect]

 According to the present invention, by operating the suction means, the air containing the odor in the toilet is sucked from the intake port to the intake passage and supplied to the exhaust passage. Ozone is supplied to this exhaust passage from the ozone generating means, and since the exhaust passage is bent, the distance to the exhaust port is long, the chances of contact between ozone and odor are increased, and the deodorizing effect is enhanced. It is done. Further, since the filter means is provided at the end side of the exhaust passage in the main body, ozone is collected at the end side of the exhaust passage. This also increases the chances of ozone coming in contact with odors. Further, some of the ozone that did not come into contact with the odor is collected by the filter means, but the uncollected ozone is returned from the exhaust port of the exhaust passage to the inside of the toilet where it comes into contact with the odor. It is deodorized. Further, since the ozone generating means is provided in the exhaust passage on the rear side of the suction means and the intake passage, ozone does not damage the suction means and the intake passage.

Furthermore, if the ozone generating means for generating ozone and the exhaust passage through which ozone passes are sealed inside the main body, the ozone will not leak to the suction means or the intake passage, and the ozone suction means will be increasingly used. The intake passage is not damaged.

Further, according to the present invention, when the intake port of the intake passage is located below the toilet bowl and the exhaust port of the exhaust passage is located above the intake outlet, the inner peripheral surface of the toilet bowl is curved. Therefore, an odor flow passage is formed along the curved surface, and the ozone discharged into the toilet bowl effectively deodorizes.

【Example】

 The deodorizer of this embodiment has a vertically long main body 2 as shown in FIG. 2, and an arm 4 extending laterally from an upper portion of the main body 2 is attached to an upper peripheral portion 6a of a toilet bowl 6 shown by a dotted line. It is attached to the toilet 2 by combining them. 8 is a toilet seat.

The tip of the arm 4 is bent downward from the peripheral edge of the toilet seat, and the suction port 10 is opened at the lower end thereof. An intake passage 12 is formed from the suction port 10 through the inside of the arm 4 and introduced into the main body 2. The suction port 10 is formed to be quite wide as shown in FIG.

A suction unit 14 is attached to the inner depth of the intake passage 12. The suction means 14 has, for example, a container 16 whose upper end opening is coupled to the intake passage 12, and a fan 18 and a motor 20 for rotating the fan 18 are provided inside the container 16. Reference numeral 22 is an attachment for attaching the motor to the container 16. As shown in FIG. 1, a connection port 24 extending downward is provided at the lower end of the container 16.

An exhaust path 26 is connected to the connection port 24. The exhaust passage 26 has a U-shaped portion 28 formed in a substantially U-shape. The U-shaped portion 28 has its leg portions 28a and 28b along the length direction of the main body portion 2, and The bottom portion 28c is arranged along the bottom portion of the main body 2. As is clear from FIG. 3, the U-shaped portion 28 is formed separately from the main body portion 2 and is in a sealed state.

The lower end of the duct 30 that forms the exhaust passage 26 together with the U-shaped portion 28 is connected to the upper ends of the leg portions 28 b of the U-shaped portion 28. The duct 30 is also formed in a sealed state separately from the main body portion 28, and the upper end portion thereof is opened as an exhaust port 32 as shown in FIG. As is clear from FIG. 4, the exhaust port 32 is located above the intake port 10.

An ozone generator 34 is provided between the leg portions 28 a and 28 b of the U-shaped portion 28. This ozone generator 34 is also formed in a sealed state separately from the main body 2. As is well known, the ozone generator 34 generates ozone by generating a high voltage. The ozone generated by the ozone generator 34 is supplied into the exhaust passage 28a.

A filter 36 for collecting ozone and a filter 38 for deodorizing an odor that cannot be deodorized by ozone are provided in the leg portion 28 b of the U-shaped portion 28.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 40 indicates a pilot lamp indicating whether or not the deodorizer is energized, and reference numeral 42 indicates that the user sits on the toilet seat 8 to detect the ozone generator 34 and the motor 20. It is a sensor for operating and detecting that the user stands up from the toilet seat 8 and stopping the ozone generator 34 and the motor 20. Although not shown, a circuit or the like for converting an operating voltage supplied from outside the main body 2 into a voltage corresponding to the motor 20 and a voltage corresponding to the ozone generator 34 is provided inside the main body 2. Is also provided.

In the deodorizer configured as described above, when the user sits on the toilet seat 8, the sensor 42 detects it and the motor 20 of the suction means 14 starts to rotate, whereby the fan 18 also rotates, Odor in the toilet bowl 6 is sucked into the intake passage 12 from the intake port 10. As is clear from FIG. 4, since the intake port 10 is formed wide, the suction can be performed efficiently. The sucked odor is supplied from the connection port 24 of the suction means 14 into the leg portion 28a of the U-shaped portion 28. At this time, since the ozone generator 34 is generating ozone, the ozone and odor are sent to the leg 28b side via the bottom 28c.

The U-shaped portion 28 is U-shaped as its name suggests. For example, an exhaust port is provided at the lower end of a linear portion corresponding to the leg portion 28 a of the U-shaped portion 28 a, and ozone is immediately exposed to the outside. Compared with the configuration that exhausts and odor, the distance to the exhaust port is much longer. Therefore, the chance of contact between the odor and ozone becomes very large. Therefore, the deodorizing effect can be enhanced.

Air deodorized by ozone, ozone not involved in deodorization, and odor not deodorized by ozone are exhausted from the exhaust port 32 into the toilet 6 through the filters 36, 38. At this time, a part of ozone that has not been involved in deodorization is collected by the filter 36. Since the filter 36 is located on the leg 28b side of the U-shaped portion 28 on the terminal side, the chance of contact between ozone and odor is sufficiently secured before ozone is collected. This also enhances the deodorizing effect.

The odor that is not deodorized by ozone is deodorized by the filter 38. Ozone not collected by the filter 36 is exhausted into the toilet 6 through the exhaust port 32, where it deodorizes.

It is conceivable to provide the ozone generator 34 on the intake passage 12 side, but in such a configuration, the generated ozone can pass through the suction means 14 and damage (rust) the motor 20 and the like. There is a nature. Therefore, it is desirable to provide the ozone generating means 34 on the side of the exhaust passage 26, which is at a stage subsequent to the suction means 14, as in this embodiment.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the U-shaped portion 28, the duct 30, and the ozone generator 34 have a sealed structure, ozone leaks from them, and the intake passage 12 and the suction means 14 are leaked. Ozone does not flow to the side, and the intake passage 12 and the suction means 14 are not damaged more and more.

Further, the exhaust port 32 is located above the intake port 10, and the ozone exhausted from the exhaust port 32 is on the curved surface of the toilet bowl 6 facing the portion where the deodorizer is provided. The vehicle collides, moves downward along the same, passes through the bottom surface side of the toilet 6, reaches the portion side where the deodorizer is provided, and is sucked again from the intake port 10. Since the odor passage is smoothly formed in this way, the ozone discharged from the exhaust port 32 is used to deodorize the inside of the toilet 6 before reaching the intake port 10.

When the user stands up from the toilet seat 8, the sensor 42 detects this and reduces the operating voltage supplied to the motor 20 and the ozone generator 34. When this voltage drops to a certain value, the ozone generator 34 stops generating ozone, but the motor 20 continues to rotate. Therefore, the ozone remaining in the exhaust passage 26 is completely exhausted into the toilet bowl 6.

Although the filter 38 is provided for the odor that is not deodorized by ozone in the above embodiment, it may be removed depending on the case. Further, although the ozone trapping filter 36 is provided on the leg portion 28c of the U-shaped portion 28, it may be provided on the duct 30 side. Although the U-shaped portion 28 is provided in order to increase the chances of contact between ozone and odor, a spiral pipe or the like may be used as the exhaust passage instead.
