DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiments described below are preferred specific examples of the present invention, and thus various technically preferable limitations are given. However, the scope of the present invention is particularly limited in the following description. Unless otherwise stated, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0024]
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a wet tissue warmer 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the wet tissue warmer 100 includes a container main body 150 that is one of the plurality of cover members, and a large lid 110 that is the other cover member. Moreover, it arrange | positions in the inside so that the refilling container 151 which is a wet tissue container which accommodates the wet tissue piece 200 with these container main bodies 150 and the large lid | cover 110 may be covered.
[0025]
The wet tissue piece 200 is formed by impregnating a substantially rectangular nonwoven fabric or the like with a predetermined chemical solution or the like. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, a large number are stacked in a so-called pop-up method in which a part of the tissue is folded on another wet tissue piece 200 and folded and accommodated in a refill container 151.
FIG. 2 is a schematic explanatory view showing a stacked state of the wet tissue pieces 200 in the refill container 151.
That is, when the user pulls out the first wet tissue piece 200 arranged at the top, the second wet tissue piece 200 arranged next overlaps, so that the first wet tissue piece 200 is subsequently lifted, and then the first The overlapping portions of the wet tissue piece 200 and the second wet tissue piece 200 are separated, and only the first wet tissue piece 200 is taken out.
And since the 2nd wet tissue piece 200 is arrange | positioned in the taking-out opening so that the part may protrude, it becomes easy to take out in the next use.
The wet tissue piece 200 arranged in such a configuration is referred to as the above-described pop-up method.
[0026]
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the wet tissue pieces 200 are stacked in a pop-up manner. 3 and 4 are schematic longitudinal sectional views of FIG.
That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the wet tissue piece 200 is placed in a separate refill container 151 in a pop-up manner and then accommodated in the container body 150.
By doing in this way, replenishment of the wet tissue piece 200 when all the wet tissue pieces 200 are used is easily performed.
[0027]
Incidentally, the large lid 110 is provided with a lid member 120 for covering the opening of the container main body 150 as shown in FIG. The lid member 120 has a lid opening 121 that is an opening through which the wet tissue piece 200 passes.
In the present embodiment, the refill container 151 is disposed in the container body 150, and the large lid 110 having the lid opening 121 formed thereon is disposed.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the large lid may include the side surface portion of the container main body 150 of FIG. 3, and the refill container 151 may be covered with the large lid. Then, an opening for inserting the refill container 151 may be provided on the bottom surface of FIG. 3 of the large lid, and a flat container body may be disposed so as to close the opening.
[0028]
FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view showing the shape and the like of the lid opening 121 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the lid opening 121 is an opening formed in the lid member 120, and, for example, four holding pieces 122 of FIG. 3 are formed in the vicinity of the opening.
[0029]
That is, the holding piece 122 is engaged with the wet tissue piece 200 when the wet tissue piece 200 passes through the lid opening 121 as shown in FIG.
Then, the engagement by the holding piece 122 becomes resistance, and the second wet tissue piece 200 and the first wet tissue piece 200 are separated from each other, and only the first wet tissue piece 200 is taken out. The second wet tissue piece 200 is held by the holding piece 122.
This effectively prevents the second wet tissue piece 200 from returning into the refill container 151.
Furthermore, since the heating unit 140 and the container main body 150 described later are separated, the inside of the container main body 150 can be prevented from being unnecessarily heated.
[0030]
Above the lid opening 121 configured as described above, a take-out lid 111 that is an openable / closable lid is disposed as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the take-out lid 111 is formed so as to be able to swing around one side. On one side, a torsion spring 112 is provided to urge the take-out lid 111 in the opening direction.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the take-out lid 111 and the lid member 120 are provided with engagement ends 113 and 123a, respectively. The lid 111 is in a closed state and is pushed upward by a pressing means 123 for releasing engagement in conjunction with a lid opening / closing button 125 described later, and the engagement is released. As shown in FIG. 1 etc., it will be in an open state.
[0031]
By the way, as shown in FIG. 1, a heating unit 140 that is a heating unit is disposed in the vicinity of the lid opening 121. The heating unit 140 includes two heating pieces 141 and 141 that are high-temperature parts and wet tissue contact parts.
When these two heating pieces 141 are close to each other, a mountain shape is formed such that the lower part is wider and the upper part is narrower. That is, the interval between the two heating pieces 141 is formed so as to become narrower as the distance from the lid opening 121 increases.
Each heating piece 141 is curved and curved as a whole as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. This curved surface shape is formed so that the surfaces on which the heating pieces 141 face each other are convex.
[0032]
And the heater 142 is arrange | positioned at the convex part side of the heating piece 141, respectively, and the covers 143 and 143 which are heat insulation parts are arrange | positioned outside this heater 141, respectively. Therefore, when the user pinches the wet tissue piece 200 held between the heaters 142, it can be prevented that the user mistakenly contacts the heaters 142.
The two heating pieces 141 and 141 formed in this way can be moved by a heating piece guide 127 (see FIG. 4), which is a high-temperature portion moving means for approaching or separating from each other, a motor, and the like.
In other words, the heating pieces 141 on the heating piece guide 127 are moved away from each other or in the proximity direction along the heating piece guide 127 by driving the motor.
[0033]
Since the two heating pieces 141 are configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 4, when the wet tissue piece 200 folded by the pop-up method is pulled out, the folded direction (left direction in FIG. 4). As a result, the wet tissue piece 200 moves toward the heater 142, and the wet tissue piece 141 is pressed against the heater 142 of the heating piece 141.
Thereafter, since the wet tissue piece 200 is guided upward where the interval between the heating pieces 141 is narrowed, the wet tissue piece 200 is sandwiched by the two heaters 142 and is further moved upward while closely contacting each other. It will be warmed.
[0034]
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the wet tissue warmer 100 showing a configuration in which the heating piece 141 is moved by the motor 160 or the like.
As shown in FIG. 6, the motor is connected to a control unit composed of a computer or the like, and the motor is driven in accordance with an instruction from the control unit.
The control unit is connected to the lid switch 124. The lid switch 124 is disposed on the large lid 110 as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, a lid opening / closing button 125 is disposed above the lid switch 124. When the user operates the lid opening / closing button 125, the pressing means 123 is interlocked to push up the ejection lid 111, and the engagement between the ejection lid 111 and the engagement ends 113, 123a of the lid member 120 is released. Due to the biasing force of the torsion spring 112, the take-out lid 111 is opened as shown in FIG.
[0035]
Further, when the lid opening / closing button 125 is pushed downward in FIG. 3, the lid switch 124 is pushed at the same time as the taking-out lid 111 is opened. When the lid switch 124 is pressed, it sends a signal to the control unit of FIG.
Upon receiving the signal, the control unit senses that the take-out lid 111 has been opened, and gives an instruction to move the heating piece 141 to the motor.
Specifically, when the take-out lid 111 is opened, the two heating pieces 141 are brought close to each other, and the heating piece 141 is moved to the position in FIG. 4, that is, the contact position with the wet tissue piece 200.
[0036]
Conversely, when the take-out lid 111 is closed due to the engagement between the engagement ends 113 and 123, the control unit gives an instruction to the motor to separate the two heating pieces 141 from each other. Is moved to the separated position in FIG.
[0037]
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the control unit is also connected to the heater 142 of FIG. 1 through a transformer.
For this reason, when the control unit gives an instruction to bring the two heating pieces 141 close to the motor, the control unit gives an instruction to the transformer to increase the temperature of the heater 142. On the contrary, when the control unit gives an instruction to the motor to separate the two heating pieces 141, the instruction is given to the transformer to lower the temperature of the heater 142 to a certain constant temperature.
[0038]
At this time, by connecting a thermostat to the heater 142, the temperature can be kept constant more accurately.
Therefore, since the temperature of the heater 142 can be prevented from being lowered too much, the temperature of the heater 142 can be quickly raised to a predetermined temperature when the temperature of the heater 142 is raised.
At this time, when the temperature is high, the temperature is set to about 40 ° C. to 70 ° C., and when the temperature is low, the temperature is set to 35 ° C. or less.
[0039]
By the way, when the two heating pieces 141 come close to each other according to the instruction of the control unit in FIG. 6, the wet tissue piece 200 is sandwiched as shown in FIG.
This is because a part of the wet tissue piece 200 is protruded from the lid opening 121 by the holding piece 122 by the above-described pop-up method.
[0040]
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the lid member 120 is provided with a separation button 126 which is a wet tissue abutting portion forced movement means.
When the separation button 126 is pressed by the user and a signal is input to the control unit shown in FIG. 6, the control unit gives an instruction to the motor to separate the two heating pieces 141. It is forcibly moved to the separated position in FIG.
Therefore, when the first sheet is set or in a pop-up method, a part of the wet tissue piece 200 is not held by the holding piece 122 as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. In addition, even when the user notices after opening the take-out lid 111, the user presses the separation button 126 and separates the two heating pieces 141 to insert the hand into the lid opening 121 and pinch the wet tissue piece 200. It can be raised.
[0041]
Further, at this time, since the control unit instructs to reduce the temperature of the heater 142 at the same time, the user can set the wet tissue piece 200 more safely.
[0042]
By the way, when the user separates the container main body 150 and the large lid 110 in order to replace the refill container 151 of FIG. 2, the sensor shown in FIG. 6 detects this and sends a signal to the control unit. There is provided a forced heating stop section for stopping the heating of the heater 142 via the vessel.
[0043]
The wet tissue warmer 100 of the present embodiment is configured as described above, and the operation and the like will be described below.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the wet tissue warmer 100 according to the present embodiment.
First, the user inserts the plug 101 of the wet tissue warmer 100 shown in FIG. 1 into an outlet, and turns on a switch (not shown) (ST1). In this state, the take-out lid 125 of FIG. 1 is closed as shown in FIG.
[0044]
Thereafter, if the user does not operate the lid opening / closing button 125 in FIG. 1, the wet tissue warmer 100 determines that the user does not use the wet tissue piece 200 for a while (ST2), and the control unit in FIG. Instructs the transformer to lower the temperature of the heater 142 of the two heating pieces 141.
Further, the control unit simultaneously places the two heating pieces 141 at the separated positions shown in FIG.
Therefore, even if the user leaves the power on, the wet tissue piece 200 in the inside is heated more than necessary and dried, the wet tissue piece 200 turns yellow, and it becomes unsanitary due to the growth of bacteria. There is nothing.
Moreover, since the temperature of the heating piece 141 is lowered and waiting, the amount of electricity consumed can be reduced.
[0045]
Next, in order to use the wet tissue piece 200, the user presses the open / close button 125 in FIG. 1 to release the engagement between the engagement end 113 of the take-out lid 111 and the engagement end 123a of the lid member 120, The take-out lid 111 is opened by the urging force of the torsion spring 112 as shown in FIG.
At this time, when the lid opening / closing button 125 is pressed, the lid switch 124 shown in FIG. 3 is simultaneously pushed, and the control unit shown in FIG. 6 senses that the take-out lid 111 is opened (ST2).
And a control part instruct | indicates to raise the temperature of the heater 142 to a transformer, and when the separation button is not pushed (ST4), the two heating pieces 141 are made to adjoin and contact the wet tissue piece 200 The heating piece 141 is moved to the contact position shown in FIG. 4 (ST5).
[0046]
At this time, since the wet tissue piece 200 is a pop-up system, a part thereof protrudes from the lid opening 121 and is held by the holding piece 122 as shown in FIG.
Therefore, the two heating pieces 141 are in contact with a part of the protruding wet tissue piece 200, and the wet tissue 200 is sandwiched by the heating pieces 141.
In this state, the heater 142 of the heating piece 141 comes into contact with the wet tissue piece 200 as shown in FIG. 4, so that the wet tissue piece 200 can be efficiently heated.
[0047]
In addition, since the heating piece 141 has a curved surface that is convex toward the wet tissue piece 200, the heater 142 can contact and warm the wet tissue piece 200 more efficiently.
In this state, when the user picks up the upper end portion of the wet tissue piece 200 of FIG. 4 and pulls it up, the wet tissue piece 200 is taken out while being warmed and becomes a wet tissue piece 200 warmed to an appropriate temperature.
At this time, even when the user pinches the wet tissue piece 200, even if the user accidentally touches the outside of the heating piece 141, the cover 143 is disposed on the outside as shown in FIG. Since the heater 142 is not touched, the structure is highly safe.
[0048]
Thereafter, if the take-out lid 111 is in an open state, the state is maintained as it is (ST6). However, if the take-out lid 111 is still open after a certain period of time (ST7), it is determined that the user has forgotten to close the take-out lid 111, and the control unit in FIG. Then, the heating pieces 141 and 141 are moved to the separated positions in FIG. 3 (ST3).
Therefore, even if the user takes out the wet tissue piece 200 and forgets to close the take-out lid 111, the temperature of the heater 142 decreases and the heating piece 141 is separated after a certain time has elapsed. It is possible to prevent the wet tissue piece 200 held by the holding piece 122 from being overheated and dried.
[0049]
By the way, as shown in FIG. 7, when the user turns off the power (ST8), the series of operations of the wet tissue warmer 100 is completed.
Note that the use of all the wet tissue pieces 200 and the replacement of the refill container 151 in FIG. 3 are usually performed after the power is turned off.
However, if the user removes the large lid 110 from the container body 150 in order to take out the refill container 151 with the power on, the sensor senses this separation, as shown in FIG. In response to an instruction from the control unit, heating of the heater 142 is stopped. Therefore, the configuration is safe for the user.
[0050]
Further, when the user takes out the wet tissue piece 200, if the next wet tissue piece 200 is not held by the holding piece 121 and falls to the container body 150 side, the separation button 126 shown in FIG. When the user presses, a signal is input to the control unit as shown in FIG. 6, and an instruction is given from the control unit to the motor to move the heating piece 141 to the separation position.
At the same time, since the controller instructs the heater 142 to lower the temperature via the transformer, the user can safely and easily pull up the wet tissue piece 200 that has dropped.
[0051]
As described above, the wet tissue warmer 100 according to the present embodiment can appropriately warm the necessary wet tissue piece 200 and can more effectively prevent the conventional drying and the like due to excessive heating. In addition, the wet tissue piece 200 is efficiently heated by the heater 142 and is excellent in safety and economy.
[0052]
(Second Embodiment)

Since the wet tissue warmer 300 shown in FIG. 8 has the same configuration as the wet tissue warmer 100 of the first embodiment, the description of common portions is omitted by using the same reference numerals and the like, with the focus on the differences. This will be described below.
[0053]
The container main body 150 shown in FIG. 8 has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, but the configuration of the large lid 310 that is a lid is different from the wet tissue warmer 100 according to the first embodiment.
9 and 10 are schematic longitudinal sectional views of the wet tissue warmer 300 of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 9, a lid member 120 including a lid opening 121 is disposed below the large lid 310, as in the wet tissue warmer 100 according to the first embodiment.
[0054]
A heating unit 340 that is a heating unit is disposed above the heating unit 340. The heating unit 340 includes a plurality of wet tissue abutting units and a plurality of rollers 341 and 341 that are disposed substantially parallel to each other. A moving guide 342 for guiding the roller 341 to a contact position or a separation position with respect to the wet tissue piece 200 is provided.
[0055]
FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which the roller 341 is arranged at the contact position. FIG. 10 shows a state where the roller 341 is moved to the separated position when the separation switch 126 is pressed or when a certain time has passed. It is a schematic sectional drawing which shows the state arrange | positioned.
Therefore, the plurality of rollers 341 are moved along the movement guide 342 between the contact position in FIG. 9 and the separated position in FIG. 10 by the motor or the like of the first embodiment. Note that the contact position and the separation position in the present embodiment have the same meaning as in the first embodiment.
[0056]
By the way, the roller 341 has a substantially cylindrical heater 341a which is a central axis at the center thereof, and a rotating part 341b having thermal conductivity is arranged outside through a slight gap.
Accordingly, the heater 341a does not rotate, and the outer rotating portion 341b rotates. Therefore, it is easy to arrange the wiring of the heater 341a avoiding the rotating portion 341b, and the configuration of the roller 341 is simplified. Can be
[0057]
Moreover, since the rotation part 341b consists of a member with thermal conductivity, it has a configuration in which the heat of the heater 341a is easily transmitted.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, when the wet tissue piece 200 is brought into contact with the rotating part 341b, the heat of the heater 341a is transmitted to the wet tissue piece 200 via the rotating part 341b.
A heat insulating cover 343 is arranged above the two rollers 341 as shown in FIGS. Therefore, when the roller 341 is moved to the separation position, the cover 343 is disposed outside the roller 341.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user from touching the roller 341 by mistake.
[0058]
Further, the rotating part 341b of the roller 341 is configured to sandwich the wet tissue piece 200 as shown in FIG. 9 and discharge the wet tissue piece 200 while rotating in the direction of the arrow in FIG.
For this reason, since the contact point between the rotating part 341b and the wet tissue piece 200 moves at any time, the wet tissue piece 200 is not heated only by heat in a part of the rotating part 341b, but the contact point moves while the rotating part 341b The wet tissue piece 200 is heated on the entire surface.
Therefore, even if the wet tissue piece 200 is deprived of heat, other parts come into contact with it, and the wet tissue piece 200 can be warmed stably and efficiently.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the wet tissue piece 200 is heated by the rotating part 341b, it can be more effectively heated than the heating piece 141 of the first embodiment.
[0059]
Further, since the wet tissue piece 200 is warmed and discharged upward while the rotating portion 341b rotates, the wet tissue piece 200 is widely contacted with the rotating portion 341b.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, the outer periphery of the rotating portion 341b is formed as a non-slip surface 341c obtained by anti-slip processing.
For this reason, the rotating part 341b can prevent the wet tissue piece 200 that continues in the pop-up method from falling without being held by the holding piece 122.
Furthermore, since the two rotating portions 341b and 342b are sandwiched in this way, so-called “slipping” in which the next wet tissue piece 200 is connected and pulled out by a pop-up method can be prevented.
[0060]
The wet tissue warmer 300 is provided with a separation button 126 similar to the separation button 126 of the heating piece 141 of the first embodiment as shown in FIG.
FIG. 11 is a block diagram of wet tissue warmer 300 according to the present embodiment.
Specifically, as shown in the block diagram of FIG. 11, a signal is sent to the control unit by the separation button 126, and the control unit causes the moving motor (the wet tissue warmer 100 of the first embodiment of FIG. (Similar to the “motor”) is driven, and the two rollers 341 are moved from the contact position to the separated position along the movement guide 342.
[0061]
Therefore, when the two rollers 341 are arranged at the contact position and the user pulls out the wet tissue piece 200 and the wet tissue piece 200 is accidentally dropped to the lid opening 121 side, the separation button 126 is provided. By pushing and separating the two rollers 341, a finger or the like can be easily inserted and taken out toward the wet tissue piece 200 that has been dropped.
Further, after the wet tissue piece 200 is set, the rollers 341 approach each other by pressing the separation button 126 again.
[0062]
By the way, when the two rollers 341 are moved to the contact position, the interval between the two rotating portions 341b is set to be substantially the same as the thickness of the wet tissue piece 200.
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a rotation control button 350 for operating the rotation drive unit is provided. As shown in FIG. 11, the rotation driving unit is connected to a rotation motor via a control unit. This rotating motor is a motor for rotating the rotating portion 341b of the roller 341.
Therefore, when the user presses the rotation control button 350, the rotation motor is driven by the control unit, and the rotation unit 341b rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG.
Therefore, even if the user does not pinch and pull out the wet tissue piece 200, the wet tissue piece 200 is automatically discharged by the rotation of the roller 341.
[0063]
In the present embodiment, the temperature of the heater 341a is controlled to be high or low via a transformer, as in the block diagram of the wet tissue warmer 100 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. However, in this embodiment, the temperature when the take-out lid 311 is closed is lower than that in the first embodiment, so that the roller 341 does not separate when the take-out lid 311 is closed. It has become.
And it is comprised so that the temperature of the heater 341a may not rise too much with a thermostat similarly to FIG.
[0064]
By the way, as shown in FIG. 9, the large lid 310 includes an extraction lid 311 that can be opened and closed.
An engagement end 311 a that maintains the take-out lid 311 in a closed state is supported by the take-out lid 311 by a spring 311 b or the like.
On the other hand, the lid member 120 is provided with an open / close sensor 320 including a protrusion 321 corresponding to the engagement end 311a.
Therefore, when the take-out lid 311 is closed, the engaging end 311 a of the take-out lid 311 is engaged with the protrusion 321 of the open / close sensor 320.
At this time, the open / close sensor 320 senses the closed state, notifies the control unit of FIG. 11, and controls to lower the temperature of the heater 341 a of the roller 341.
[0065]
On the other hand, when the extraction lid 311 is opened, the engagement between the engagement end 311 a of the extraction lid 311 and the protrusion 321 of the open / close sensor 320 is released. Then, the open / close sensor 320 senses this released state, sends a signal to the control unit, and is controlled to increase the temperature of the heater 341a of the roller 341. Other operations and the like of the present embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment.
By the way, as shown in FIG. 9, the take-out lid 311 is provided with a clue portion 311 c so that the user can easily grasp it.
