Description

本発明はトイレ室の便器に設置して使用するトイレ装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a toilet device that is installed and used in a toilet in a toilet room.

近年、便座に設置され用便後の人体局部を洗浄するトイレ装置としての局部温水洗浄装置が広く用いられており、機能も増加している。従来のトイレ装置としては、トイレ装置トイレ本体に人体検知センサを備え、トイレ室における人の有無を検知し、それに追従し便蓋の開閉や便座の閉止を行うものがあった(例えば、特許文献1参照)。図14は、特許文献1に記載された従来のトイレ装置を示すものである。   In recent years, a local hot water cleaning apparatus as a toilet apparatus that is installed in a toilet seat and cleans a human body part after a toilet has been widely used, and its function is also increasing. As a conventional toilet device, there is a device that includes a human body detection sensor in a toilet device toilet body, detects the presence or absence of a person in a toilet room, and opens and closes a toilet lid or closes a toilet seat (for example, patent document) 1). FIG. 14 shows a conventional toilet device described in Patent Document 1. As shown in FIG.

図14において、タンク装置30における前面上部のコーナー部には、人体検知手段である人体感知センサ31が設けられており、人体感知センサ31は、タンク装置30前方に赤外線を発光し、その反射光の受光に基づいてタンク装置30の前方における人体の有無を検知する測定距離式センサ(以下、測距式センサという)を採用している。
特許第3201715号公報(第8〜12ページ 図2)
In FIG. 14, a human body detection sensor 31 that is a human body detection unit is provided at a corner portion on the upper front surface of the tank device 30, and the human body detection sensor 31 emits infrared light in front of the tank device 30, and its reflected light. A distance measuring sensor (hereinafter referred to as a distance measuring sensor) that detects the presence or absence of a human body in front of the tank device 30 based on the received light is employed.
Japanese Patent No. 3201715 (page 8-12, FIG. 2)

通常、トイレの広さ・ドアの開き方・トイレ室におけるドアの位置などトイレ空間の間取りは様々であり、あらゆるトイレでも使い勝手が良いことをトイレ装置の目標とすると、人体検知手段はトイレ装置の中央部もしくは、トイレ装置の上部で、さらに便蓋の開閉によっても人体検知手段が隠れない位置に配置することが望ましい。しかしながら、機能やデザイン性の制限から、トイレ装置の中央部もしくはトイレ装置の上部への人体検知手段の配置が困難なことも多い。   Normally, the floor space of the toilet, how to open the door, and the location of the door in the toilet room vary, and the target of the toilet device is that it is easy to use in all toilets. It is desirable to dispose the human body detection means at the center or the upper part of the toilet device so that the human body detecting means is not hidden by opening and closing the toilet lid. However, it is often difficult to place the human body detection means at the center of the toilet device or at the upper part of the toilet device due to restrictions on function and design.

また、トイレ装置の操作部は、右利きの利用者が多いためトイレ装置の右側(トイレ装置に着座した時の右側)に配置することがほとんどであり、人体検知手段も操作部と同位置に設置するものが多い。このため、ドアがトイレ装置の左側にあった場合、トイレ装置本体の影となり、人がトイレに入室した時、人体の検知が遅れ、機能が損なわれるという問題を有していた。   In addition, the toilet device's operation part is mostly placed on the right side of the toilet device (the right side when seated on the toilet device) because there are many right-handed users, and the human body detection means is located at the same position as the operation unit. There are many things to install. For this reason, when the door is on the left side of the toilet device, it becomes a shadow of the toilet device body, and when a person enters the toilet, the detection of the human body is delayed and the function is impaired.

仮に機能やデザイン性を悪化させる事なく、人体検知手段をトイレ装置本体に搭載する事が可能であったとしても、前記従来技術のように人体検知手段に測定距離式センサを用いる場合、測定距離式センサでの人体の検知範囲に何らかの反射物があるときに検知ON状態となるため、広さが様々であるトイレ室では、設定距離を長くできないという問題を有していた。   Even if it is possible to mount the human body detection means on the toilet apparatus body without deteriorating the function and design, when using the measurement distance type sensor for the human body detection means as in the conventional technique, the measurement distance Since the detection ON state occurs when there is any reflection in the human body detection range of the type sensor, there is a problem that the set distance cannot be increased in a toilet room of various sizes.

すなわち、検知距離を長く設定するとトイレ室の壁を人体と誤検知してしまい、常に検知ON状態になってしまう。そのため、検知範囲は最も狭いトイレ室(便座の先端から30cmがトイレ室内の壁面の場合など)を前提に設定する必要があった。すなわち、トイレ室内への入り口から、トイレ装置までの距離が長い場合においては、人がトイレ装置のすぐ手前に立たない限り人体の検知ができないという問題を有していた。   That is, if the detection distance is set long, the wall of the toilet room is erroneously detected as a human body, and the detection is always on. Therefore, it is necessary to set the detection range on the assumption that the toilet room is the narrowest (in the case where 30 cm from the front of the toilet seat is a wall surface in the toilet room). That is, when the distance from the entrance to the toilet room to the toilet device is long, there is a problem that the human body cannot be detected unless a person stands in front of the toilet device.

また、測定距離式センサでは赤外線を出力し、その反射光の有無において人体を検出すると言う原理から、人体を検知するためには定期的に赤外線を出し続ける必要があり、電源手段として電池を用いた場合、すぐに電池が消耗してしまうという問題も有していた。一般には、測定距離式センサにて人体を検知する場合には、測定距離式センサへの電源を
常に供給できる様にトイレ装置本体に内蔵する場合が多い。
In addition, the measuring distance type sensor outputs infrared rays and detects the human body in the presence or absence of the reflected light. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly emit infrared rays to detect the human body. In such a case, there was a problem that the battery was consumed quickly. In general, when a human body is detected by a measurement distance type sensor, it is often built in the toilet apparatus body so that the power to the measurement distance type sensor can always be supplied.

上記従来の技術の問題点に鑑み、本発明が解決しようとする課題は、トイレ室内の大きさに応じて人体に違和感を与えることなく、最適のタイミングで人体の有無を検知できるトイレ装置を提供することを目的とする。   In view of the problems of the above-described conventional technology, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a toilet device that can detect the presence or absence of a human body at an optimal timing without giving a sense of incongruity to the human body according to the size of the toilet room The purpose is to do.

(実施の形態1)
図1は、本発明の第1の実施の形態におけるトイレ装置の構成図を示すものである。トイレ装置は、便器1の後端部上に載置された横長状のケース等で構成し、内部に複数のトイレ機能を達成する装置(図示せず)を有するトイレ本体2と、トイレ本体2の両側に後端部を回動自在に装着して便器1上に配置した便蓋3及び便座4と、トイレ本体2のトイレ機能を遠隔操作するための操作ユニット5と、トイレ室6内の人の有無を検知して便蓋3を自動的に開閉させるための人体検知手段7を備えている。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a toilet apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The toilet device is composed of a horizontally long case placed on the rear end of the toilet 1 and has a device (not shown) for achieving a plurality of toilet functions, and a toilet body 2. A toilet lid 3 and a toilet seat 4 which are mounted on the toilet 1 with the rear ends rotatably attached to both sides of the toilet, an operation unit 5 for remotely controlling the toilet function of the toilet body 2, and a toilet room 6 Human body detecting means 7 for detecting the presence or absence of a person and automatically opening and closing the toilet lid 3 is provided.

さらに、トイレ本体2内には、トイレ機能、例えば便座4を暖める暖房機能、便座4に着座して用便した後の局部を洗浄ノズルから噴出させた温水で洗う洗浄機能、濡れた局部を温風で乾燥させる機能、便器1内の臭いを吸収する脱臭機能等を動作させるための制御回路8と便蓋3の開閉を行うための開閉装置9を有している。操作ユニット5は、人体検知手段7の検知信号の送信、トイレ本体2のトイレ機能及び便蓋3の開閉を行うため、例えば無線通信の送信手段10を有し、一方のトイレ本体2は、その制御回路8の一部に、トイレ機能の制御及び便蓋3の開閉を行う操作ユニット5の無線通信を受信する受信手段11を形成している。   Further, the toilet body 2 has a toilet function, for example, a heating function for warming the toilet seat 4, a cleaning function for washing the local area after sitting on the toilet seat 4 and using the hot water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle, and a wet local area for warming. It has a control circuit 8 for operating a function of drying with wind, a deodorizing function for absorbing the odor in the toilet 1, and an opening / closing device 9 for opening and closing the toilet lid 3. The operation unit 5 has, for example, a wireless communication transmission means 10 for transmitting the detection signal of the human body detection means 7, the toilet function of the toilet body 2 and the opening and closing of the toilet lid 3. A receiving means 11 for receiving wireless communication of the operation unit 5 for controlling the toilet function and opening / closing the toilet lid 3 is formed in a part of the control circuit 8.

人体検知手段7は、大小、及び種々の形状のトイレ室6でも、このトイレ室6に入ってきた人体を検知するため任意の位置に設置できるようにするため、操作ユニット5とケーブル等の有線12にて接続しているが、またトイレ本体2の制御回路8に有線にて直接接続しても良い。   The human body detecting means 7 can be installed in an arbitrary position in order to detect the human body that has entered the toilet room 6 even in the toilet room 6 of various sizes and in various shapes. 12 may be connected directly to the control circuit 8 of the toilet body 2 by wire.

人体検知手段7としては焦電式センサ13を使用し、焦電式センサ13は、物体が持つ熱量に比例して発せられる赤外線の変化量に応じて電気信号を発生する焦電効果を利用した物体の熱量変化検知センサで、人体が非検知状態の場合は雰囲気温度に比例した赤外線を発するが、人体の検知状態の場合は、雰囲気温度よりも高い人体表面温度に比例した赤外線を発するため、この雰囲気温度と人体表面温度との差分だけの電気信号により人体の有無を検知することができるものである。   A pyroelectric sensor 13 is used as the human body detection means 7, and the pyroelectric sensor 13 uses a pyroelectric effect that generates an electrical signal in accordance with a change amount of infrared rays emitted in proportion to the amount of heat of the object. When the human body is in a non-detection state with an object heat amount change detection sensor, it emits infrared rays proportional to the ambient temperature, but in the human body detection state, it emits infrared rays proportional to the human body surface temperature higher than the ambient temperature. The presence / absence of a human body can be detected by an electrical signal corresponding to the difference between the ambient temperature and the human body surface temperature.

焦電式センサ13にはレンズ14が取付けられており、このレンズ14によって焦電式センサ13前方の壁などの雰囲気温度から発せられた赤外線や、焦電式センサ13前方を横切った人体の表面から発せられる赤外線を最も効率よく集光することができるようになっている。図中、15は人体検知手段7をトイレ室の壁等に取り付けるため、焦電式セン
サ13、レンズ14等を覆うケース等の取付体である。
A lens 14 is attached to the pyroelectric sensor 13, and infrared rays emitted from the ambient temperature such as a wall in front of the pyroelectric sensor 13 by the lens 14 or the surface of the human body crossing the front of the pyroelectric sensor 13. Infrared rays emitted from can be collected most efficiently. In the figure, reference numeral 15 denotes an attachment body such as a case for covering the pyroelectric sensor 13 and the lens 14 in order to attach the human body detection means 7 to the wall of the toilet room.

また、一般的に赤外線とは可視光線よりも波長が長く、マイクロ波よりも波長が短い0.7〜1000μmの波長領域の電磁波であり、このうち人体から発せられる赤外線の周波数は5〜20μmの波長である。この人体からの波長の赤外線のみを有効に利用し、その他の波長の赤外線を減衰させるような光学的処理をレンズ14及び焦電式センサ13には施されている。   In general, infrared is an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength range of 0.7 to 1000 μm, which has a wavelength longer than that of visible light and shorter than that of microwave, and the frequency of infrared light emitted from the human body is 5 to 20 μm. Is the wavelength. The lens 14 and the pyroelectric sensor 13 are subjected to optical processing that effectively uses only infrared rays having wavelengths from the human body and attenuates infrared rays having other wavelengths.

さらに、焦電式センサ13から出力される電気信号は、雰囲気温度と人体表面温度の差分に比例した赤外線量を変換したものであるが、数10〜数100mV程度と非常に微小な信号であるため、人体検知手段7にて数100〜数1000倍に電気信号を増幅して人体の有無を検知している。また、人体検知手段7での電気信号の増幅の際には、人体の移動速度よりも短い周波数や長い周波数は人体以外の外乱であると判定し、約1Hzで最大増幅率となるようなバンドパスフィルターを構成している。   Furthermore, the electrical signal output from the pyroelectric sensor 13 is a very small signal of about several tens to several hundred mV, which is obtained by converting the amount of infrared rays proportional to the difference between the ambient temperature and the human body surface temperature. For this reason, the human body detecting means 7 amplifies the electric signal several hundred to several thousand times to detect the presence or absence of the human body. Further, when the electric signal is amplified by the human body detection means 7, it is determined that a frequency shorter or longer than the moving speed of the human body is a disturbance other than the human body and a maximum amplification factor is obtained at about 1 Hz. A pass filter is configured.

図3にバンドパスフィルターの特性グラフを示す。人体検知手段7では、数100〜数1000倍に増幅された電気信号がある値以上(一般的には0.3〜0.7V程度)の変化があった場合に人体有りと判定している。このバンドパスフィルターを構成する際、一般的には電源投入からバンドパスフィルターを構成しているコンデンサ(図示せず)などへの充電時間が必要であり、約10秒間程度は人体検知手段7での人体検知可能までの立ち上がり時間を要している。   FIG. 3 shows a characteristic graph of the bandpass filter. The human body detection means 7 determines that there is a human body when the electric signal amplified several hundreds to several thousand times changes more than a certain value (generally about 0.3 to 0.7 V). . When configuring this band pass filter, generally, it takes time to charge a capacitor (not shown) constituting the band pass filter from power-on, and the human body detection means 7 takes about 10 seconds. The rise time until human body detection is possible.

図4の配置図に示すように、トイレ室6の便器1上に設置したトイレ本体2に対して操作ユニット5は、便器1に近接した脇のトイレ室壁に配置しているので、使用者が着座中に操作ユニット5を容易に操作することができる。一方、人体検知手段7は有線12にて操作ユニット5に接続しているので、トイレ室6に入ってきた人体の有無の検知を最優先に設置できる。   As shown in the layout diagram of FIG. 4, the operation unit 5 is arranged on the side wall of the toilet room adjacent to the toilet 1 with respect to the toilet body 2 installed on the toilet 1 of the toilet room 6. Can easily operate the operation unit 5 while seated. On the other hand, since the human body detection means 7 is connected to the operation unit 5 by the wire 12, detection of the presence or absence of the human body that has entered the toilet room 6 can be installed with the highest priority.

すなわち、トイレ室6のドア16を開けて入り口に立った人体17を検知できるように、ドア16に相対向するトイレ室壁に焦電式センサ13である人体検知手段7を設置する。従って、人体17が焦電式センサ13の検知範囲(赤外線の放射範囲ともいう)18を横切ったときに、焦電式センサ13にて人体有りを検知し、この検知信号が有線12を介して受けた操作ユニット5より無線通信でトイレ本体2に人体有り信号を送信することで、人体有り状態を検知できる。トイレ本体4では、この人体有り状態によって、便蓋3を開状態とさせて使い勝手を向上させたり、トイレ本体4での暖房便座(便座にヒータを配設して便座を暖めるもの。図示せず)の設定温度を変えて、人体無し時の暖房便座の通電率を下げたり通電停止などを行い省エネルギー性の向上など、様々な効果をあげることができる。   That is, the human body detection means 7 which is the pyroelectric sensor 13 is installed on the wall of the toilet room facing the door 16 so that the human body 17 standing at the entrance by opening the door 16 of the toilet room 6 can be detected. Therefore, when the human body 17 crosses the detection range (also referred to as infrared radiation range) 18 of the pyroelectric sensor 13, the pyroelectric sensor 13 detects the presence of a human body, and this detection signal is transmitted via the wire 12. The presence of a human body can be detected by transmitting a human body presence signal to the toilet body 2 by wireless communication from the received operation unit 5. In the toilet body 4, the presence of the human body allows the toilet lid 3 to be opened to improve usability, or the toilet seat 4 is a heated toilet seat (a heater is provided on the toilet seat to warm the toilet seat. Not shown). ) Can be changed to lower the energization rate of the heated toilet seat when there is no human body, to stop energization, and to improve the energy saving.

ここで、人体検知信号がどのように伝わっているのかを簡易的に図5に示す。また図5は、図4を斜視図として示したものである。人体検知手段7は、ドア16を開けて入り口から人体17が入ってきたことを検知し、操作ユニット5へ有線12を経由して信号を伝える。操作ユニット5が受け取った信号を操作ユニット5の送信手段10でトイレ本体2の受信手段11へ伝える。ここで、操作ユニット5においては、トイレ本体2から使用者が使用できる範囲(壁に操作ユニット5が配置されており、トイレ本体2に着座している使用者が着座したまま操作ユニット5を操作することができる範囲、すなわち、人体の腕の長さの範囲に操作ユニット5があることとなる)にあるので、確実に人体検知信号をトイレ本体2に伝えることができる。   Here, how the human body detection signal is transmitted is simply shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of FIG. The human body detection means 7 opens the door 16 and detects that the human body 17 has entered from the entrance, and transmits a signal to the operation unit 5 via the wire 12. The signal received by the operation unit 5 is transmitted to the reception means 11 of the toilet body 2 by the transmission means 10 of the operation unit 5. Here, in the operation unit 5, the user can use the operation unit 5 from the toilet body 2 (the operation unit 5 is disposed on the wall, and the user sitting on the toilet body 2 operates the operation unit 5 while sitting. Since the operation unit 5 is within the range where it can be performed, that is, the range of the length of the arm of the human body), the human body detection signal can be reliably transmitted to the toilet body 2.

また、送信手段10からの送信信号はテレビやエアコンなどの家庭電化製品の赤外線リ
モコンでの送信コードに則している。この送信コードは家庭電化製品を製造販売している各メーカ間での共通フォーマットとして誤送信を防止するために家庭電化製品協会フォーマットとして制定され、メーカ、機器ごとにコードを割り当てられている。
Further, the transmission signal from the transmission means 10 conforms to the transmission code of the infrared remote controller of home appliances such as a television and an air conditioner. This transmission code is established as a home appliance association format to prevent erroneous transmission as a common format among manufacturers that manufacture and sell home appliances, and a code is assigned to each manufacturer and device.

操作ユニット5の送信手段10は、人体検知手段7がトイレ室6に入室した人体17を検知すると、人体有り信号をトイレ本体2へ送信を行う。操作ユニット5をトイレ本体2とは別設にすることで、トイレ本体2のデザインや機能を劣化させることなく人体の検知を行うことができる。また、操作ユニット5は取付位置の選択範囲が広く、便座に着座中に手が届く範囲で、さらにドア16に近く、誤作動の要因となる太陽光等の影響が少ない位置に取り付ければよい。   When the human body detection means 7 detects the human body 17 that has entered the toilet room 6, the transmission means 10 of the operation unit 5 transmits a human body presence signal to the toilet body 2. By making the operation unit 5 separate from the toilet body 2, the human body can be detected without deteriorating the design and functions of the toilet body 2. Further, the operation unit 5 has a wide selection range of the attachment position, and can be attached to a position where the hand can reach while seated on the toilet seat, further close to the door 16 and less affected by sunlight or the like that causes malfunction.

次に、トイレ室6の壁面に凹部及び凸部6aがある場合について、図4を元に図6に示す。このような場合、トイレ本体2周辺に人体検知手段7が設置された場合、壁面の凸部6aにより、検知範囲18が遮られ人体17を検知しにくいため、人体検知手段7をトイレ入り口付近に相対向したトイレ室壁面に設置し、人体検知手段7の向きなどを使用者が任意の位置に調整することで人体を検出させる事が可能となる。   Next, FIG. 6 is shown based on FIG. 4 with respect to the case where the wall surface of the toilet room 6 has a concave portion and a convex portion 6a. In such a case, when the human body detecting means 7 is installed around the toilet body 2, the detection range 18 is blocked by the convex portion 6a of the wall surface, so that the human body 17 is difficult to detect. It is possible to detect the human body by installing it on the opposite wall surface of the toilet room and adjusting the orientation of the human body detection means 7 to an arbitrary position.

また、図7は、図6を斜視図にて示したもので、人体検知手段7で検知範囲18に入る人体17を検出して操作ユニット5へ有線12を介して伝え、そして操作ユニット5の送信手段10よりトイレ本体2の受信手段11へ人体検知信号を伝えることができる。もちろん、人体検知手段7を有線12にてトイレ本体2に直接接続する際は、人体検知手段7が検知した信号を直接、トイレ本体2へ送信するため、同じく凹部6a、凸部6aがあるトイレ室6にても使用できる(ここには図示をしていない)。   FIG. 7 is a perspective view of FIG. 6. The human body detection means 7 detects the human body 17 entering the detection range 18 and transmits it to the operation unit 5 via the wire 12. A human body detection signal can be transmitted from the transmitting means 10 to the receiving means 11 of the toilet body 2. Of course, when the human body detecting means 7 is directly connected to the toilet body 2 with the wire 12, the signal detected by the human body detecting means 7 is directly transmitted to the toilet body 2, and thus the toilet having the concave portion 6a and the convex portion 6a. It can also be used in the chamber 6 (not shown here).

図8は、人体検知手段7を操作ユニット5に接続している有線12を伸縮可能にした構成図を示す。有線12は、伸縮自在な伸縮部12aとする事で、操作ユニット5の近傍に人体検知手段7を設置するときは、収縮して邪魔にならず、また、操作ユニット5から人体検知手段7を離して設置するときは、有線12が伸長して、人体検知手段7と操作ユニット5を接続できる。   FIG. 8 shows a configuration diagram in which the wire 12 connecting the human body detecting means 7 to the operation unit 5 can be expanded and contracted. Since the wire 12 is a telescopic part 12a that can be stretched, when the human body detection means 7 is installed in the vicinity of the operation unit 5, the wire 12 contracts and does not get in the way. When installing apart, the wire 12 is extended and the human body detection means 7 and the operation unit 5 can be connected.

なお、本実施の形態ではトイレ装置のトイレ機能として、便座4を暖める暖房機能、人体局部を洗浄ノズルからの温水で洗う洗浄機能、濡れた局部を温風で乾燥させる機能、便器1内の臭いを吸収する脱臭機能を説明したが、これに限定されるものではなく、人体検知手段7による人体有無の検知信号をトイレ本体2の制御回路8が受けて用便前後における便蓋3の開閉制御と、さらに今後追加される機能の制御も含むものである。   In this embodiment, as a toilet function of the toilet apparatus, a heating function for warming the toilet seat 4, a washing function for washing a human body part with warm water from a washing nozzle, a function for drying a wet local part with warm air, and an odor in the toilet 1 However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the opening / closing control of the toilet lid 3 before and after the stool is received by the control circuit 8 of the toilet body 2 receiving the detection signal of the presence or absence of the human body by the human body detection means 7. It also includes control of functions that will be added in the future.

FIG. 10A is a schematic front perspective view of the detection range changing portion of the human body detecting means used in the toilet apparatus according to the third embodiment, and FIG. 10B is an outline of the detection range changing portion of the human body detecting means. A side sectional view is shown, and the basic configuration of the toilet apparatus is omitted because it is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIGS.

人体検知手段7は、検知範囲変化部20を設け、図10(a)(b)のように検知範囲の設定を可能にすることで、環境に応じた人体検知に最適な検知範囲を自在に設定できるようにして人体検出への誤作動を極力無くすようにしている。すなわち、図10(a)において、人体検知手段3はレンズ14の両側に設けたフィルタからなる検知範囲変化部20を有し、両側のフィルタをスライドさせることで、検知範囲を変化させることができる。   The human body detection means 7 is provided with a detection range changing unit 20 and enables the detection range to be set as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, so that a detection range optimum for human body detection according to the environment can be freely set. It can be set so that malfunctions in human body detection are minimized. That is, in FIG. 10A, the human body detection means 3 has a detection range changing unit 20 composed of filters provided on both sides of the lens 14, and the detection range can be changed by sliding the filters on both sides. .

なお、上記実施の形態ではフィルタからなる検知範囲変化部20を設けたが、渦巻状で、カメラのシャッターのように的を絞ることで検知範囲を設定する構成(図示せず)でも本実施の形態と同様の作用効果が得られることは言うまでも無い。   In the above-described embodiment, the detection range changing unit 20 including a filter is provided. However, the present embodiment is also applicable to a configuration (not shown) in which a detection range is set by focusing like a camera shutter. Needless to say, the same effect as the embodiment can be obtained.

(実施の形態4)
図11は、実施の形態4におけるトイレ装置の構成図を示す。本実施の形態は、操作ユニット5に複数の有線12を着脱自在に接続できる複数の接続部21を設けた点で実施の形態1の発明と異なり、それ以外の構成並びに作用効果は同じである。
(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 11 is a configuration diagram of the toilet apparatus according to the fourth embodiment. The present embodiment is different from the invention of the first embodiment in that a plurality of connection portions 21 capable of detachably connecting a plurality of wires 12 to the operation unit 5 are provided, and other configurations and operational effects are the same. .

操作ユニット5は外郭をなす長方形のケースの下部角部における底面と側面に、トイレ本体2の制御回路8から導出した有線12と人体検知手段7から導出した有線12を接続できる接続部21をそれぞれ設けている。   The operation unit 5 has a connection portion 21 that can connect the wire 12 led out from the control circuit 8 of the toilet body 2 and the wire 12 led out from the human body detection means 7 on the bottom and side surfaces of the lower corner of the rectangular case forming the outer shell. Provided.

従って、操作ユニット5は人体検知手段7とトイレ本体2を同時に接続することができる。さらに、図には記載していないが、照明など他ユニットを同時に接続した場合、人がいることでのみ使用する製品機能や使用させたい製品機能を、人体検知手段7で検知し操作ユニット5から実行させることができる。さらに、2本の有線6の端子具を互いに接続できるように(図示せず)しておくことで、操作ユニット5が故障しても、人体検知手段7とトイレ本体2を接続することで、人体検知を直接トイレ本体2で行なうことができる。   Therefore, the operation unit 5 can connect the human body detection means 7 and the toilet body 2 at the same time. Further, although not shown in the figure, when other units such as lighting are connected at the same time, the product function to be used only when there is a person or the product function to be used is detected by the human body detection means 7 and is detected from the operation unit 5. Can be executed. Furthermore, by connecting the two wire 6 terminal fixtures to each other (not shown), even if the operation unit 5 breaks down, the human body detecting means 7 and the toilet body 2 are connected, Human body detection can be performed directly on the toilet body 2.

また、操作ユニット5は有線12でトイレ本体2に接続しているので、有線12を介して操作ユニット5の電源をトイレ本体2、または直接、コンセントなどから供給したり、トイレ本体2と人体検知手段7との接続を行なう事で、人体検知の有無を確実にトイレ本体2に伝えることができる。さらに、トイレ本体2と操作ユニット5を接続した場合は、万が一操作ユニット5の送信手段10が故障したとしても、有線12を介して操作ユニット5の操作信号をトイレ本体2へ伝えることができる。   In addition, since the operation unit 5 is connected to the toilet body 2 via the wire 12, the power of the operation unit 5 is supplied from the toilet body 2 or directly from the outlet via the wire 12, or the toilet body 2 and the human body are detected. By connecting with the means 7, the presence or absence of human body detection can be reliably transmitted to the toilet body 2. Furthermore, when the toilet body 2 and the operation unit 5 are connected, even if the transmission means 10 of the operation unit 5 breaks down, the operation signal of the operation unit 5 can be transmitted to the toilet body 2 via the wire 12.

(実施の形態5)
図12は、実施の形態5におけるトイレ装置で使用される操作ユニットの取付体と有線の取付関係を示す概略正面斜視図で、図13(a)は同じく、操作ユニットの取付体に有線を差し込む前の概略構成図で、図13(b)は同じく、操作ユニットの取付体に有線を差し込んだ後の概略構成図であり、トイレ装置の基本的な構成は図1〜図8に示す実施の形態1のトイレ装置と同じなので省略している。
(Embodiment 5)
FIG. 12 is a schematic front perspective view showing a connection relationship between the operation unit attachment body and the wire used in the toilet apparatus according to the fifth embodiment, and FIG. 13 (a) also shows a wire inserted into the operation unit attachment body. FIG. 13 (b) is also a schematic configuration diagram after the wire is inserted into the operation unit attachment body, and the basic configuration of the toilet apparatus is the embodiment shown in FIGS. Since it is the same as the toilet apparatus of form 1, it abbreviate | omits.

操作ユニット5は、トイレ室壁などに設置する際に、予め枠状の取付体22をトイレ室壁などに設けておき、この取付体22に着脱自在に嵌めて設けている。従って、取付体22は、操作ユニット5に有線12を着脱自在に接続した際に、その有線12を固定する有線固定手段23を設けている。この構成により、操作ユニット5をトイレ室壁などの取付体22から取り外して使用する際に有線6は有線固定手段23に固定されて邪魔にならず、また、操作ユニット5を取付体22から取り外した拍子に有線6が外れてしまうということを回避できる。   When the operation unit 5 is installed on a toilet room wall or the like, a frame-like attachment body 22 is provided in advance on the toilet room wall or the like and is detachably fitted to the attachment body 22. Therefore, the attachment body 22 is provided with a wire fixing means 23 for fixing the wire 12 when the wire 12 is detachably connected to the operation unit 5. With this configuration, when the operation unit 5 is detached from the attachment body 22 such as a toilet room wall and used, the wire 6 is fixed to the wire fixing means 23 and does not get in the way, and the operation unit 5 is removed from the attachment body 22. It can be avoided that the wire 6 is disconnected due to the beat.

また、有線固定手段23には弾力を持たせることで、有線6を挿入した際に容易に抜けなくできる。図13(a)は有線12を有線固定手段23に差し込む前、図13(b)は有線12を有線固定手段23に差し込んだ後の状態である。また、有線固定手段22に有線12が固定され、かつ人体検知手段7が接続されている場合に、取付体22から操作ユニット5が取り外されたときは既に使用者がいる場合なので通電を停止し、余分な通信を行なう必要がなく省エネにも繋がり、また、電源コンセントやトイレ本体2との接続の際は、電源供給ができるため、操作ユニット5への充電を行なうことも可能である。   Further, by giving elasticity to the wire fixing means 23, it is possible to prevent it from being easily removed when the wire 6 is inserted. FIG. 13A shows a state before the wire 12 is inserted into the wire fixing means 23, and FIG. 13B shows a state after the wire 12 is inserted into the wire fixing means 23. In addition, when the wire 12 is fixed to the wire fixing means 22 and the human body detection means 7 is connected, when the operation unit 5 is removed from the attachment body 22, there is already a user, so that the power supply is stopped. Further, it is not necessary to perform extra communication, which leads to energy saving. Further, since the power can be supplied when the power outlet or the toilet body 2 is connected, the operation unit 5 can be charged.

なお、上記実施の形態において、人体検知手段にスピーカー機能を設け、床面に温度センサを設置することで、人体検知手段による人体検知信号を確認後、温度センサ、スピーカーを連動させて、音声によりトイレ室に入ってからトイレ本体までの距離などを知ることができ、視覚が不自由な人にも問題なく使用してもらうことができる。   In the above embodiment, the human body detecting means is provided with a speaker function, and a temperature sensor is installed on the floor surface, and after confirming the human body detection signal by the human body detecting means, the temperature sensor and the speaker are interlocked, and by voice. You can know the distance to the toilet body after entering the toilet room, and even people with visual disabilities can use it without problems.

以上のように本発明にかかるトイレ装置は、人体検知手段を人体検知の最適な位置に設定可能であり、人を検知してON/OFFを必要とする照明器具などの用途にも適用できる。   As described above, the toilet apparatus according to the present invention can set the human body detection means at an optimal position for human body detection, and can be applied to uses such as lighting fixtures that detect humans and require ON / OFF.
