TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates Bei toilet set having a sound effect equipment for generating a sound, such as toilet water flow sound. More particularly, the present invention relates to a toilet facility provided with an onomatopoeic device capable of generating a loud onomatopoeia even with a small speaker output.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Toilet facilities equipped with an onomatopoeic device that generates onomatopoeia such as toilet flush noise have already been put into practical use. In a conventional toilet apparatus with a muffler device, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-150833, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-138474, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-79084, etc. It is attached so that it fits into the opening.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a toilet facility provided with a dummy sound device configured to generate a large dummy sound without increasing the speaker output.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the toilet equipment of the present invention, in a toilet equipment in which a casing is installed at a rear portion of a Western-style toilet and a speaker for generating onomatopoeia is installed in the casing, the speaker is attached to any one of a rear surface, a side surface, and an upper surface of the casing . It is characterized in that it faces the inner surface of the surface and the distance from the inner surface of the casing is 20 mm or less (preferably 15 mm or less, particularly preferably 10 mm or less).
[0005]
In the stool instrument equipment according the present invention, since a speaker is small distance directly faces and both the inner surface of the casing, the casing itself becomes large onomatopoeic resonated vibration generated by the speaker output.
[0006]
In the present invention, by making the speaker-facing surface of the casing non-porous, the onomatopoeic noise is significantly increased, and foreign matters and water are prevented from adhering to the speaker. In addition, cleaning becomes easy. However, an opening may be provided on the speaker-facing surface of the casing, but in this case, it is preferable that the opening ratio is 20% or less of the projected area of the speaker on the facing surface.
[0007]
In the toilet equipment of the present invention, it is preferable that the casing is constituted by a toilet seat box. In this case, it is preferable that the speaker is directly opposed to the rear surface of the toilet seat box.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet seat box provided with the onomatopoeic device according to the embodiment, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the toilet seat box, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a state where a toilet seat and a toilet lid are removed from the toilet seat box. 4 is a perspective view showing a state where the case upper is further removed from the toilet seat box, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line VV in FIG.
[0009]
The toilet seat box 1 is installed on the rear upper surface of a Western-style toilet, and a toilet seat 2 and a toilet lid 3 are attached to the front side thereof so as to be able to turn up and down. The toilet seat box 1 is integrally provided with a projecting portion 4 that projects laterally, and a switch group 5 and a dial 6 for adjusting the washing strength are provided on the upper surface of the projecting portion 4.
[0010]
The toilet seat box 1 is formed of a box-shaped casing having a case bottom 10 and a case upper 11. The case bottom 10 is fixed to the rear upper surface of the Western-style toilet by bolts (not shown). The case upper 11 is detachably connected to the case bottom 10 by screws (not shown).
[0011]
In the toilet seat box 1, a buttocks washing mechanism including a hot water tank 12, a hot water supply hose 13, a switching valve 14, a buttocks washing nozzle 15, a bidet washing nozzle 16, and the like are installed. Tap water is supplied to the hot water tank 12 via a water supply tube 8 and a strainer 9. The hot water in the hot water tank 12 gushes from the tip of the nozzle 15 or 16 and is poured onto the buttocks of the seated occupant.
[0012]
In the toilet seat box 1, a deodorizing fan 17, a warm air fan (not shown), and a dummy sound generator 20 are provided.
[0013]
The deodorizing fan 17 is configured to suck air in the toilet bowl of the Western-style toilet bowl, pass through a filter such as activated carbon, and then discharge the air into the toilet room. The hot air fan blows hot air to the buttocks of the seated occupant for drying. As shown in FIG. 3, a shutter 18 is provided at a warm air outlet on the front surface of the toilet seat box 1.
[0014]
The onomatopoeic generator 20 includes a unit casing 21 fixed to the case bottom 10, a speaker 22 attached to the unit casing 21, and a speaker operating circuit board (illustrated) embedded by potting 23 attached to the unit casing 21. Abbreviation).
[0015]
The speaker 22 is directly opposed to the rear surface (back surface 11a) of the case upper 11 of the toilet seat box 1, and the distance between the speaker 22 and the rear surface of the toilet seat box 1 is 20mm or less (preferably 15mm or less, particularly preferably 10mm or less). ). The rear face of the toilet seat box 1 facing the speakers is non-porous.
[0016]
In the Western-style toilet equipment provided with the toilet seat box 1 configured as described above, when a dummy sound generation switch of the switch group 5 is pressed, the speaker 22 is activated, and a dummy sound such as running water noise is generated. When the speaker 22 is operated, the rear portion 11a of the case upper 11 also resonates and vibrates, generating an extremely loud onomatopoeic sound.
[0017]
As a result of various experiments, the toilet room was set between the case where the onomatopoeic generator 20 was installed forward (in the direction opposite to the state in FIG. 4 by 180 °) and the case where the onomatopoeic generator 20 was installed as in this embodiment. The volume of the onomatopoeic sound inside was measured, and it was recognized that the side of the present invention was higher by about 3 dB.
[0018]
Although the toilet seat box 1 of this embodiment is suitable for application to a flush valve water supply type Western style toilet that does not employ a low tank, it is also applicable to a tightly coupled type Western style toilet with a low tank mounted on the rear upper surface of the Western style toilet. It is possible.
[0019]
In the above embodiment, although directly facing the speaker 22 to the rear portion 11a of the case upper 11, the upper surface and the side Men'a Rui case upper 11 is larger onomatopoeic even by confronting the speaker 22 on the case bottom 10 Become. However, it is most effective when the plane area is large and the back surface 11a facing the toilet room is directly opposed. In addition, since the toilet seat and the toilet lid are located on the front surface of the toilet seat box 1 and the dummy sound is easily interrupted, it is preferable that the speaker 22 is directly opposed to the rear surface of the toilet seat box 1.
[0020]
In the illustrated embodiment, the dummy sound generator 20 is installed in the toilet seat box 1. The low tank is completely covered with a low tank cover, and a toilet seat and a toilet lid are attached to the low tank cover. In the case of a Western-style toilet called a console type in which a simulated sound generator is installed, the speaker is arranged to face the inner surface of any one of the rear surface, the side surface and the upper surface of the low tank cover. Is also good.
[0021]
In the above-described embodiment, the speaker facing surface of the toilet seat box is made non-porous, but a slight hole may be provided. In this case, in order to prevent dust and water from adhering to the speaker, the hole area ratio is preferably set to 20% or less of the projected area of the speaker.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, a large onomatopoeic sound can be generated without increasing the speaker output.
