Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to toilet equipment provided with a mechanism for raising and lowering a toilet seat support member.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The toilet seat installed on the upper surface of the western-style toilet is attached to the western-style toilet so as to be rotatable in an up-and-down direction via a toilet seat support member.
[0003]
Dirt such as urine is infiltrated between the toilet seat support member and the upper surface of the Western-style toilet bowl, which is likely to cause odor. Therefore, a toilet seat support member that can move up and down with respect to a Western-style toilet and has been proposed to move (float) the toilet seat support member together with the toilet seat when cleaning the Western-style toilet (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-238582, JP, 2000-33051, A).
[0004]
Further, in claim 14 of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-238582, it is described that when the toilet seat support member is raised, the energization to the electric apparatus such as the cleaning device main body and the heating toilet seat is cut off.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. 1A and 1B are side views of a toilet facility according to an embodiment, in which FIG. 1A shows a state before the toilet seat support member floats, and FIG. 1B shows a state after the toilet seat support member floats. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the toilet facility.
[0016]
A toilet seat support member 2 is installed on a rear upper surface of a porcelain Western-style toilet bowl body 1 so as to be able to move up and down. ing.
[0017]
In this embodiment, the toilet seat support member 2 has an outer shell formed by a front base plate 3a that can be raised and lowered and a cover 3d made of a bottomless box-like synthetic resin. The front base plate 3a is provided with hot water cleaning nozzles 10 and 11 and a motor-driven hot water switching valve device 12 for cleaning the human body with warm water. Further, an illumination 3g is provided on the bottom surface of the front base plate 3a for illuminating the lower region S when the toilet seat support member 2 floats. Although LED is suitable as this illumination 3g, it is not limited to this.
[0018]
Further, on the front base plate 3a, an electric opening / closing unit 13 for opening and closing the toilet seat 3e and the toilet lid 3f, a hot air fan 14 for blowing out hot air toward the human body part and drying it, and odor from the toilet bowl. A deodorizing fan 15 and a deodorizing cartridge 16 for deodorizing by sucking air are provided. Human body detection sensors 17 and 18 for detecting a human body approaching or sitting on the toilet body 1 are provided on the cover 3d.
[0019]
A rear base plate 4a is provided on the upper surface of the rearmost part of the toilet body 1 so that the rear side of the cover 3d covers from above. The rear base plate 4a includes a heater-equipped warm water tank 4b (shown only in FIG. 1) for supplying warm water to the warm water washing nozzle, and a motor-driven floating unit for pushing the toilet seat support member 2 up and down. 20, a room heating fan 21 including a heater and an electric fan, a power supply board 22, a control circuit board 23, a flush valve unit 24 for supplying water to a toilet bowl and a trap unit, and the like are provided.
[0020]
This hot water washing mechanism and the like are operated by a remote controller attached to the wall surface of the toilet room. This remote control is provided with a levitation switch for levitation operation of the levitation unit 20 and a lowering switch for lowering the levitation unit 20. Signals from the levitation switch and the lowering switch are input to the levitation unit control circuit provided on the control circuit board 23. In addition, the control circuit board 23 includes an electric opening / closing unit 13 and a hot air fan based on signals from the human body detection sensors 17 and 18 and a buttocks drying switch, a room heating switch, a washing switch, and a flash switch provided in the remote controller. 14, the deodorizing fan 15, the room heating fan 21, the switching valve device 12, and the control circuit which controls the valve unit 24 are mounted. The rear base plate 4a is provided with a sensor (for example, a limit switch) that detects the end of raising and lowering of the front base plate 3a, and the detection signal of this sensor is also input to each control circuit.
[0021]
Next, the operation of the toilet equipment will be described.
[0022]
When the levitation switch is operated, the levitation unit 20 pushes up the front base plate 3a and the cover 3d of the toilet seat support member 2 to a predetermined height and stops in that state. Further, when the front base plate 3a is raised, the illumination 3g is turned on. Thereby, the lower space (lower area) S of the front part of the toilet seat support member 2 that has floated is illuminated. Since the lower region S is brightly illuminated in this way, the upper surface of the toilet body facing the lower region S, the lower surface of the front base plate 3a, and the like can be easily cleaned.
[0023]
In this embodiment, when the front base plate 3a of the toilet seat support member 2 is raised, the electric opening / closing unit 13, the hot air fan 14, the deodorizing fan 15, the heater of the hot water tank 4b, and the room heating fan The power supply to 21 is cut off. Thereby, cleaning such as water wiping can be performed with peace of mind. Further, in this embodiment, when the lowering switch of the remote controller is operated, the illumination 3g is turned off and the floating unit is lowered, and the front base plate 3a and the cover 3d that are in the raised state are lowered. And when these finish descend | falling, electricity supply to the electric opening / closing unit 13, the warm air fan 14, the deodorizing fan 15, the heater of the hot water tank 4b, and the room heating fan 21 is automatically restarted.
[0024]
Therefore, after the front base plate 3a is lifted and cleaned, when the lowering switch is operated, the toilet seat support member 2 is installed on the Western-style toilet body 1 and the electric appliances are in an operating state and return to the toilet usable state. . Thereby, after completion | finish of cleaning, toilet bowl equipment can be returned to a usable state, without performing switch operation for restarting electricity supply to the electrical component of a toilet seat support member. As a result, when the toilet bowl is used after cleaning, the toilet seat 3e and the toilet lid 3f are automatically opened and closed automatically in response to the human body detection, and the heated toilet seat 3e is warmed. The fan also operates reliably and the flash operation is performed reliably.
[0025]
In this embodiment, even when the front base plate 3a is in the raised state, the levitation unit 20 can be energized, so that the front base plate 3a can be lowered by operating the lowering switch. Convenient.
[0026]
In the present invention , the flash valve unit 24 can be energized even when the front base plate 3a is raised. Therefore, by operating the flash switch of the remote controller, the washing water can be poured into the toilet bowl. Thereby, after cleaning a toilet bowl with a detergent or a chemical | medical agent, the detergent component etc. which have adhered to the toilet bowl or remain | survived can be washed away by flushing.
[0028]
In this embodiment, the hot water switching valve device 12 can be energized even when the front base plate 3a is raised. Therefore, when the hot water cleaning nozzle is provided with a cleaning water circuit for cleaning around the nozzle, the nozzle may be cleaned by supplying water to the cleaning water circuit.
[0029]
In this invention, you may comprise so that a hot water washing nozzle may protrude without water pressure supply by advance mechanisms, such as an electrically driven rack and pinion mechanism. In this case, the electric rack and pinion mechanism and the like can be energized even when the front base plate 3a is raised, and the nozzle can be advanced by the electric rack and pinion mechanism and cleaned. It is preferable to do this. When a forward mechanism such as this electric rack and pinion mechanism is adopted, it is desirable to cut off the energization to the hot water switching valve device 12 when the front base plate 3a is raised.
[0031]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, convenience when the toilet seat support member is lifted and cleaned is significantly improved.
