Description

本発明は、トイレ装置の制御に関し、特に洗浄ノズル収納時、洗浄ノズルの原点復帰を行い、その後電源ＯＦＦするトイレ装置の制御に関するものである。   The present invention relates to control of a toilet apparatus, and more particularly to control of a toilet apparatus that performs return to the origin of a cleaning nozzle when the cleaning nozzle is housed and then turns off the power.

従来、この種のトイレ装置は、省エネルギーを図る構成として図４に示すように、商用電源１とトイレ装置の電源回路１４との間に電源スイッチ８を配設し、トイレ装置の未使用時にはこの電源スイッチ８をＯＦＦするようにしている。   Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, this type of toilet apparatus is provided with a power switch 8 between a commercial power source 1 and a power circuit 14 of the toilet apparatus as shown in FIG. The power switch 8 is turned off.

また、この電源スイッチ８がＯＮしてトイレ装置に電源が供給され、所要の手段が洗浄のための予備動作を開始する、即ち使用する前に洗浄ノズルの原点復帰を行うように構成されている。
特開２０００−１２０１３６号公報 Further, the power switch 8 is turned on to supply power to the toilet apparatus, and the required means starts the preliminary operation for cleaning, that is, the origin of the cleaning nozzle is returned before use. .
JP 2000-120136 A

しかしながら、前記従来の構成では、図４のように電源スイッチ８をＯＦＦにすると、消費電力は完全にゼロになって完全な節電効果が得られるが、その電源スイッチ８をＯＦＦする前に洗浄ノズルの原点復帰を行っていない為、次回トイレ装置を使用するときは電源スイッチ８をＯＮした後、所要の手段が洗浄のための予備動作を開始する、即ち洗浄ノズルの原点復帰を行う為、洗浄ノズルの原点復帰が完了するまでの間、人体局部を洗浄することができないという課題を有していた。   However, in the conventional configuration, when the power switch 8 is turned off as shown in FIG. 4, the power consumption becomes completely zero and a complete power saving effect can be obtained. However, before the power switch 8 is turned off, the cleaning nozzle Since the origin is not restored, the next time the toilet device is used, the power switch 8 is turned on, and then the necessary means starts the preliminary operation for washing, that is, the origin of the washing nozzle is restored. Until the origin return of the nozzle is completed, there is a problem that the human body local area cannot be washed.

本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、人体局部洗浄後に洗浄ノズルの原点復帰を行い、その後電源スイッチ８をＯＦＦすることで、次回トイレ装置を使用するときに電源スイッチ８をＯＮした後に洗浄ノズルの原点復帰する必要が無く、使用者に素早く人体局部洗浄ができるトイレ装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems. After the human body part is washed, the origin of the washing nozzle is returned, and then the power switch 8 is turned off, so that the power switch 8 is turned on the next time the toilet apparatus is used. It is an object of the present invention to provide a toilet device that can quickly clean a human body part without having to return to the origin of the cleaning nozzle later.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、本実施の形態によって本発明が限定されるものではない。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.

（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ブロック図を示すものである。 (Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a toilet apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

図１において、洗浄ノズル７は人体局部を洗浄するときに洗浄水を局部に向けて噴射するものであり、洗浄以外のときは収納部６に収納されているものである。温水ヒータ５は人体局部洗浄時、洗浄ノズル７に供給する洗浄水を瞬間的に所定の温度まで加熱するものである。便蓋開閉検知手段３は便蓋の開閉検知を行い、それによって商用電源１をトイレ装置に供給したり遮断したりする電源スイッチ３ａを設けたものでもある。便蓋２が開状態を検知している時は電源スイッチがＯＮしてトイレ装置に電源が供給される。また、便蓋２が閉状態を検知している時は、制御部４からの制御により電源スイッチ３ａをＯＦＦにすることができるようになっており、洗浄ノズル７が収納部６に完全に収納されたら電源スイッチ３ａをＯＦＦする構成とされている。   In FIG. 1, a cleaning nozzle 7 jets cleaning water toward a local part when cleaning a local part of the human body, and is stored in a storage part 6 at times other than cleaning. The hot water heater 5 instantaneously heats the cleaning water supplied to the cleaning nozzle 7 to a predetermined temperature during local body cleaning. The toilet lid opening / closing detection means 3 is provided with a power switch 3a for detecting opening / closing of the toilet lid and thereby supplying or shutting off the commercial power source 1 to / from the toilet device. When the toilet lid 2 detects the open state, the power switch is turned on and power is supplied to the toilet device. In addition, when the toilet lid 2 detects the closed state, the power switch 3a can be turned off under the control of the control unit 4, and the washing nozzle 7 is completely stored in the storage unit 6. When it is done, the power switch 3a is turned off.

Then, after the user performs local body cleaning, when the cleaning nozzle 7 is stored in the storage unit 6, the next time the toilet device is used by performing the return to origin in a state where the cleaning nozzle 7 is securely stored in the storage unit 6. The user can quickly clean the body part immediately after turning on the power.

また、制御部４は人体局部洗浄後、洗浄ノズル７が収納部６に収納されて便蓋２が閉状態になった場合は、便蓋開閉検知手段３の内部に設けられた電源スイッチ３ａをＯＦＦすることで、トイレ装置に対して電源供給は遮断されるので待機電力をゼロになり、完全な節電効果が得られる。   When the cleaning nozzle 7 is stored in the storage unit 6 and the toilet lid 2 is in the closed state after washing the human body part, the control unit 4 turns on the power switch 3a provided in the toilet lid opening / closing detection means 3. By turning off the power supply to the toilet device is cut off, the standby power becomes zero, and a complete power saving effect is obtained.

また、ヒータ５は人体局部洗浄時、洗浄ノズル７の供給する洗浄水を瞬間的に所定の温度まで加熱するので、トイレ装置に電源が供給された直後に使用しても快適な使用状態が得られるため、トイレ装置の使用しないときは常に電源を遮断しておくことができ、使い勝手良く節電効果を確保できる。   In addition, since the heater 5 instantaneously heats the cleaning water supplied from the cleaning nozzle 7 to a predetermined temperature during local body cleaning, a comfortable use state can be obtained even if it is used immediately after power is supplied to the toilet device. Therefore, when the toilet device is not used, the power supply can be shut off at all times, and the power saving effect can be secured with ease of use.

（実施の形態２）
図２は、本発明の第２の実施の形態のトイレ装置のブロック図を示すものである。 (Embodiment 2)
FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a toilet apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

図２は、図１に示す構成のトイレ装置において、便座内部に便座ヒータとして輻射式発熱体であるランプヒータ８を配設してあり、ランプヒータ８は使用者が便座に着座して冷たいと感じなくなる温度（例えば３５℃など）にまで昇温する時間を、電源を供給してから数秒という短時間で便座を暖めることができるように構成されている。   FIG. 2 shows that in the toilet apparatus having the configuration shown in FIG. 1, a lamp heater 8 which is a radiant heating element is provided as a toilet seat heater inside the toilet seat, and the lamp heater 8 is cold when the user is seated on the toilet seat. It is configured such that the toilet seat can be warmed in a short time of several seconds after the power is supplied, for the time to raise the temperature to a temperature at which it does not feel (for example, 35 ° C.).

After the storage, the toilet lid 2 is driven and closed.

なお、実施の形態１または２と同一符号のものは同一構造を有するものとし、再度の説明は省略する。   In addition, the thing of the same code | symbol as Embodiment 1 or 2 shall have the same structure, and description for the second time is abbreviate | omitted.

以上のように構成されたトイレ装置について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   About the toilet apparatus comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

使用者が人体局部洗浄を行った後、洗浄ノズル７が収納部６に収納する時に洗浄ノズル７の原点復帰を行い。その後、便蓋駆動手段９は便蓋２を駆動して閉状態にする。そして、制御部４は便蓋開閉検知手段３の内部に設けられた電源スイッチをＯＦＦすることで、トイレ装置に対して電源供給は遮断されるので待機電力をゼロにでき、完全な節電効果が得られる。   After the user performs local body cleaning, when the cleaning nozzle 7 is stored in the storage unit 6, the origin of the cleaning nozzle 7 is returned. Thereafter, the toilet lid driving means 9 drives the toilet lid 2 to close it. Then, the control unit 4 turns off the power switch provided in the toilet lid opening / closing detection means 3 so that the power supply to the toilet device is cut off, so that the standby power can be reduced to zero, and a complete power saving effect is obtained. can get.

以上のように、本発明にかかるトイレ装置は、洗浄ノズルの原点復帰後電源をＯＦＦすることで、待機電力をゼロにすることが可能となるので、パソコン等の終了作業の伴う機器等の用途にも適用できる。   As described above, the toilet apparatus according to the present invention can reduce standby power to zero by turning off the power after returning to the origin of the cleaning nozzle. It can also be applied to.
