[0002]
[Prior art]
FIG. 10 shows a conventional example.
The warm water washing toilet seat 200 has a water supply unit 202 for supplying clean water used for local cleaning. The supplied clean water is heated to a temperature suitable for cleaning the local by a heat exchanger (not shown). Then, it is ejected from the tip of the local cleaning nozzle 205. The deodorizing device 81 operates when the user is seated, and sucks the odor generated in the toilet in the direction indicated by the arrow 204. The sucked odor is decomposed into an odorless substance by a deodorizing catalyst (not shown) and then discharged to the outside of the warm water washing toilet seat.
[0003]
FIG. 8 is a perspective perspective view showing the operation of the conventional deodorizing device 81.
The deodorizing device 81 mainly includes a deodorizing catalyst device 21 for decomposing odors, a deodorizing fan motor 24 for sucking odors, and a deodorizing device suction port 23 for sucking odors. The odor generated in the toilet is sucked from the deodorizer suction port 23 into the deodorizer in the direction of the arrow 26. The sucked odor is removed by the deodorizing filter 27 and then sent to the deodorizing catalyst device 21 by the deodorizing fan motor 24. Odor is decomposed into odorless substances by the deodorizing catalyst device, and exhausted toward substantially the rear of the hot water cleaning device indicated by an arrow 22.
[0004]
FIG. 9 is a diagram schematically showing a conventional technique.
The deodorizing device 40 mainly includes a deodorizing catalyst device 39 for decomposing odors, a deodorizing fan motor 44 for sucking odors, and a deodorizing device suction port 41 for sucking odors. The odor generated in the toilet is sucked in the direction of the arrow 42 from the deodorizer suction port 41.
The sucked odor is removed by the deodorizing filter 45 and then sent to the deodorizing catalyst device 39 by the deodorizing fan motor 44. After the odor is decomposed into an odorless substance by the deodorizing catalyst device, it is exhausted from the deodorizing device exhaust port 38 provided in the warm water cleaning toilet seat 1 toward the substantially rear side of the hot water cleaning device indicated by an arrow 37. .
Further, there are gaps 35 and 43 between the local cleaning nozzle and the hot water cleaning toilet seat outline around the local cleaning nozzle (extension position at the time of cleaning) 36. This gap (gap) is necessary in the warm water toilet seat for structural reasons. As an example, an opening for the nozzle to enter and exit is provided in the extended / accommodated portion of the nozzle, so that a constant gap is not only when the nozzle is in the extended state but also in the stored state. It exists around.
[0005]
The gaps 35 and 43 exist even in a state where the nozzle is stored at the position indicated by the local cleaning nozzle (position immediately before storage) 33, so that the humid air generated in the toilet is It enters the inside of the warm water washing toilet seat through the gap. The air which has entered the humidity is stopped and stayed in the warm water washing toilet seat as indicated by an arrow 34, and there are parts having a lower temperature in the warm water washing toilet seat than the humid air. Then, condensation occurs on the parts, and condensed water is generated.
Further, the hot water cleaning device discharges a large amount of hot water during local cleaning. When a large amount of hot water is discharged, especially when the temperature is low, such as in winter, a large amount of steam, that is, high-humidity air may be generated from the vicinity of the water outlet. When the user's local area is being washed, the nozzle is in an extended state, and water is discharged from the tip of the nozzle. Thereafter, after the user's local cleaning, the nozzle is stored up to a predetermined position, and in the stored state, hot water is similarly discharged from the tip of the nozzle to automatically clean the dirt adhering to the nozzle.
For this reason, particularly when hot water is discharged with the nozzle in the housed state, a large amount of high-humidity air is generated near the gap around the nozzle. In particular, when the temperature falls below a few degrees Celsius, such as in winter, a large amount of humid air is generated when water is discharged while the nozzle is housed, and the air inside the mechanism of the hot water washing toilet seat rises from the gap around the nozzle. A large amount of humidity air may enter.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When the ambient air temperature is low, the inside of the mechanism of the warm water flush toilet seat is often in a low temperature state, similar to the ambient air temperature. If a large amount of humid air flows into the mechanism in the low temperature state, the humid air directly touches the parts placed in the low temperature state. Condensation may occur in the areas where there was condensation, which could produce condensed water.
If dew condensation occurs, water droplets may form on the electronic components of the internal parts, causing failure.
Moreover, in order to protect an electronic component from dew condensation, a special insulating member and a waterproof member may be required. Further, when the amount of condensed water is large, there is a problem that the condensed water leaks outside the warm water washing toilet seat and wets the floor.
[0007]
