Description

本発明は、トイレ装置に関し、詳しくは便座に着座した人の臀部をマッサージするための機能を備えたトイレ装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a toilet apparatus, and more particularly to a toilet apparatus having a function for massaging a buttocks of a person seated on a toilet seat.

トイレ装置において、着座時に臀部をマッサージする手段として、便座に振動装置を設置して人体に振動を与えるようにした構成が知られている（例えば、特許文献１、特許文献２、特許文献３参照）。   In a toilet apparatus, as a means for massaging the buttocks at the time of sitting, a configuration is known in which a vibration device is installed on the toilet seat to give vibration to the human body (see, for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3). ).

しかしながら、図５（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、便座４は頻繁に開閉動作するために、振動装置２０自体に衝撃が加わるようになり、長期信頼性等が低下するという問題があり、さらに振動装置２０の通電線に負担が加わるといった問題もある。さらに振動装置２０の振動部位を便座４表面に露出させて人体に振動を直接付与する方式であるため、図５（ｃ）に示す体重による押し付け力Ｆによって振動装置２０の振幅を大きくとることが困難となり、このため大きな振動を臀部に伝えにくくなるという問題もある。なお図中の２１は便座４の下面から突出して便器２のリム３に支持される突起部である。
特開２００４−８９２８０号公報 実用新案登録第３０９７１９５号公報 特開２００７−５４２４０号公報 However, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, since the toilet seat 4 frequently opens and closes, there is a problem that the vibration device 20 itself is subjected to an impact, and long-term reliability and the like are reduced. Further, there is a problem that a load is applied to the energization line of the vibration device 20. Furthermore, since the vibration part of the vibration device 20 is exposed to the toilet seat 4 surface and directly applies vibration to the human body, the vibration device 20 can have a large amplitude by the pressing force F based on the body weight shown in FIG. There is also a problem that it is difficult to transmit a large vibration to the buttocks. Reference numeral 21 in the figure denotes a protrusion that protrudes from the lower surface of the toilet seat 4 and is supported by the rim 3 of the toilet 2.
JP 2004-89280 A Utility Model Registration No. 3097195 JP 2007-54240 A

本発明は上記の従来の問題点に鑑みて発明したものであって、便座の開閉動作に対しても信頼性を確保することが可能となり、且つ十分な振動量を得ることができ、臀部のマッサージ感、便意促進感、血行促進等を高めることが可能なトイレ装置を提供することを課題とするものである。   The present invention has been invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and it is possible to ensure reliability for the opening / closing operation of the toilet seat, and to obtain a sufficient amount of vibration. It is an object of the present invention to provide a toilet device capable of enhancing a feeling of massage, a feeling of facilitation, a blood circulation promotion, and the like.

前記課題を解決するために本発明は、便器２のリム３に便座４が載置されたトイレ装置において、便座４を振動させるための突起形状の振動部５を便器２のリム３から突設させ、振動部５の通電線６が、便器２の外側面をカバーするスカート７とリム３との間に形成される隙間８を通して配線されていることを特徴としている。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a protruding vibration portion 5 for projecting the toilet seat 4 from the rim 3 of the toilet bowl 2 in the toilet apparatus in which the toilet seat 4 is placed on the rim 3 of the toilet bowl 2. The conductive wire 6 of the vibrating part 5 is wired through a gap 8 formed between the skirt 7 and the rim 3 that covers the outer surface of the toilet 2 .

このような構成とすることで、振動部５は、便座４側ではなく、便器２側に設けられるので、開閉動作に伴う便座４に振動部５を設けることが不要となるため、便座４開閉動作時の衝撃が振動部５自体に加わることがなくなる。しかも振動部５は便座４をその内部からではなく、外部から振動を付与する方式であり、そのうえ便器２とは独立した部品とすることができるので、便座４に対して十分な振動量を与えることができ、便座４の開閉動作時に、リム３に設けた振動部５に衝撃が加わらないことと同様に、通電線６にも負担が加わることがなくなり、振動部５の高信頼性が得られると共に通電線６が外部から見えないようにできて外観性を向上させることができる。 With such a configuration, the vibration part 5 is provided not on the toilet seat 4 side but on the toilet bowl 2 side, so that it is not necessary to provide the vibration part 5 on the toilet seat 4 accompanying the opening / closing operation. The shock during operation is not applied to the vibration part 5 itself. Moreover, the vibration unit 5 is a system that applies vibration to the toilet seat 4 not from the inside but from the outside, and can be made a component independent of the toilet 2, so that a sufficient amount of vibration is given to the toilet seat 4. In addition , when the toilet seat 4 is opened and closed, a load is not applied to the conductive wire 6 in the same manner as no impact is applied to the vibrating portion 5 provided on the rim 3, and high reliability of the vibrating portion 5 is obtained. In addition, the current-carrying wire 6 can be prevented from being seen from the outside, and the appearance can be improved.

また、上記振動部５は、便座４の支持を兼ねると共にリム３の複数個所に設置されているのが好ましく、この場合、振動部５と便座４との接触面積を増加させて、便座４の振動量の増加を図ることができると共に、便座４から振動部５に加わる荷重を複数個の振動部５に分散できるので、振動部５の耐荷重性を向上させることができる。   Further, it is preferable that the vibrating portion 5 also serves as a support for the toilet seat 4 and is installed at a plurality of locations on the rim 3. In this case, the contact area between the vibrating portion 5 and the toilet seat 4 is increased, The amount of vibration can be increased, and the load applied from the toilet seat 4 to the vibration part 5 can be distributed to the plurality of vibration parts 5, so that the load resistance of the vibration part 5 can be improved.

また、上記振動部５は、防水性があり且つ振動を妨げない弾性体１１を用いてリム３に対して保持されているのが好ましく、この場合、弾性体１１によって振動部５への水の浸入を防止でき、そのうえ弾性体１１は振動部５の振動を妨げることもないので振動が減衰せず、これにより、振動部５の長期信頼性を向上させながら、同時に大きな振動量を維持できるようになる。   Moreover, it is preferable that the vibration part 5 is held against the rim 3 by using an elastic body 11 that is waterproof and does not hinder vibration. In this case, the elastic body 11 causes water to be supplied to the vibration part 5. The intrusion can be prevented, and the elastic body 11 does not interfere with the vibration of the vibration part 5 so that the vibration is not attenuated, thereby improving the long-term reliability of the vibration part 5 and maintaining a large vibration amount at the same time. become.

また、上記便座４に着座時の体重がかかった際に該体重を受けるための支持バネ１２を上記振動部５に設けるのが好ましく、この場合、便座４に体重がかかった際に支持バネ１２によって体重に対する反力が発生することにより、振動部５を単に便座４に接触させて振動を伝える構造と比較して、大きな振動量を発生させることが可能となる。   In addition, it is preferable that the vibrating portion 5 is provided with a support spring 12 for receiving the weight when the toilet seat 4 is seated. In this case, the support spring 12 is provided when the toilet seat 4 is weighted. By generating a reaction force against the body weight, it is possible to generate a large amount of vibration compared to a structure in which the vibration unit 5 is simply brought into contact with the toilet seat 4 to transmit vibration.

また、上記便座４への着座を検知するセンサ１３と、センサ１３からの信号に応じて着座時と上記振動部５の振動開始及び離座時と振動終了のそれぞれのタイミングを連動させる制御手段とを設けるのが好ましく、この場合、着座と振動とを連動させることができるので、振動部５の切／入の操作が不要となり、利便性を向上させることができる。   A sensor 13 for detecting the seating on the toilet seat 4; and a control means for linking the timings of the vibration start of the vibration unit 5 and the vibrations of the vibration unit 5 in response to a signal from the sensor 13; In this case, since the seating and the vibration can be interlocked with each other, the operation of turning off / on the vibration part 5 becomes unnecessary, and the convenience can be improved.

本発明は、便座の開閉動作に対しても振動部の信頼性を確保することが可能となり、しかも便座に十分な振動量を伝播させることができ、臀部のマッサージ感、便意促進感、血行促進等を高めることができるものである。   The present invention makes it possible to ensure the reliability of the vibration part even for the opening / closing operation of the toilet seat, and to propagate a sufficient amount of vibration to the toilet seat. Etc. can be improved.

以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基いて説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

図１は、請求項１、２に対応する実施形態であり、本実施形態のトイレ装置１は、便器２のリム３に便座４が載置されていると共に、リム３の上方に向けて突起形状の振動部５が突設されている。なお図１中の２ａは便器２内の便器ボウル、７は便器２の外側面を覆うスカート、１５は便座４を覆う便蓋である。   FIG. 1 is an embodiment corresponding to claims 1 and 2, and a toilet apparatus 1 according to this embodiment has a toilet seat 4 mounted on a rim 3 of a toilet 2, and projects upward from the rim 3. A vibrating portion 5 having a shape is projected. In FIG. 1, 2 a is a toilet bowl in the toilet bowl 2, 7 is a skirt that covers the outer surface of the toilet bowl 2, and 15 is a toilet lid that covers the toilet seat 4.

上記便器２のリム３から突設される振動部５は、便座４に対して振動を付与するためのもので、突起形状に形成されており、例えば着座センサ１３ａ(図４（ａ）参照)からの検知信号を受けて振動の開始、終了を行なうように制御される。この振動部５は、便座４の支持を兼ねると共にリム３の複数個所（図１の例では４箇所）に設置されている。   The vibrating portion 5 protruding from the rim 3 of the toilet 2 is for applying vibration to the toilet seat 4 and is formed in a protruding shape, for example, a seating sensor 13a (see FIG. 4A). In response to the detection signal from, the vibration is controlled to start and end. The vibrating portion 5 also serves as a support for the toilet seat 4 and is installed at a plurality of locations (four locations in the example of FIG. 1) of the rim 3.

振動部５の振動発生源としては、例えば、ソレノイド、或いは、電動モータの回転軸に偏心させて重りを設けて振動を発生させる偏心モータ、或いは、圧電材料製の圧電振動部の相対向する２つの主面にそれぞれ電極が配設され、電極間に電界を印加して振動が励振されるようにした圧電素子、或いは、コイルにより磁界が印加されると大きな振動を生じる伸縮可能な超磁歪素子等の振動装置が挙げられる。   As a vibration generation source of the vibration unit 5, for example, a solenoid, an eccentric motor that generates a vibration by decentering a rotation shaft of an electric motor, or a piezoelectric vibration unit made of a piezoelectric material are opposed to each other. A piezoelectric element in which electrodes are arranged on two main surfaces and vibration is excited by applying an electric field between the electrodes, or a stretchable super magnetostrictive element that generates large vibration when a magnetic field is applied by a coil And the like.

しかして、上記構成の突起形状をした振動部５を便器２のリム３から突設させたことにより、便座４を閉じると振動部５に便座４下面が接触した状態となり、人が便座４に着座したときに着座センサ１３ａからの検知信号を受けて振動を開始することによって、その振動が便座４に伝播して便座４に座った人の臀部をマッサージする。その後、使用者が便座４から立ち上がると、着座センサ１３ａからの検知信号を受けて振動部５は振動を停止する。   Thus, by projecting the protrusion-shaped vibrating portion 5 having the above-described configuration from the rim 3 of the toilet bowl 2, when the toilet seat 4 is closed, the lower surface of the toilet seat 4 comes into contact with the vibrating portion 5. By receiving a detection signal from the seating sensor 13 a and starting vibration when seated, the vibration propagates to the toilet seat 4 and massages the buttocks of the person sitting on the toilet seat 4. Thereafter, when the user stands up from the toilet seat 4, the vibration unit 5 stops the vibration in response to the detection signal from the seating sensor 13 a.

ここで、振動部５は、便座４側ではなく、リム３側に設けられているので、便座４は振動伝達体として機能するようになる。また、開閉動作に伴う便座４に振動部５を設けることが不要となるため、便座４開閉動作時の衝撃が振動部５自体に加わることがなくなる結果、振動部５の長期信頼性を向上させることができる。また本例の振動部５は便座４をその内部からではなく、外部から振動を付与する方式であり、しかも便器２とは独立した部品であるため、便座４に対して十分な振動量を与えることができるようになる結果、臀部のマッサージ感、便意促進感、血行促進等を高めることができるものである。   Here, since the vibration part 5 is provided not on the toilet seat 4 side but on the rim 3 side, the toilet seat 4 functions as a vibration transmitting body. In addition, since it is not necessary to provide the vibration part 5 in the toilet seat 4 associated with the opening / closing operation, the impact during the opening / closing operation of the toilet seat 4 is not applied to the vibration part 5 itself, thereby improving the long-term reliability of the vibration part 5. be able to. In addition, the vibration unit 5 of this example is a system that applies vibration to the toilet seat 4 not from the inside but from the outside, and is a component that is independent of the toilet 2, so that a sufficient amount of vibration is given to the toilet seat 4. As a result, it is possible to enhance the massage feeling of the buttocks, the feeling of promoting stool, the promotion of blood circulation, and the like.

さらに本例では、振動部５は、便座４の支持を兼ねると共にリム３の複数個所に設置されているので、振動部５と便座４との接触面積を増加させて、便座４の振動量の増加を図ることができると共に、便座４から振動部５に加わる荷重を複数個の振動部５に分散できるので、振動部５の耐荷重性が向上すると共にマッサージ時の便座４を安定させることができるという利点もある。   Further, in this example, since the vibration part 5 also serves as a support for the toilet seat 4 and is installed at a plurality of locations on the rim 3, the contact area between the vibration part 5 and the toilet seat 4 is increased, and the vibration amount of the toilet seat 4 is increased. The load applied to the vibrating part 5 from the toilet seat 4 can be distributed to the plurality of vibrating parts 5 and the load resistance of the vibrating part 5 can be improved and the toilet seat 4 during massage can be stabilized. There is also an advantage of being able to do it.

図２は、請求項１、３に対応する実施形態であり、振動部５の通電線６が、便器２の外側面をカバーするスカート７とリム３との間に形成される隙間８を通して配線されている。さらに振動部５は、防水性があり且つ振動を妨げない弾性体１１を用いてリム３に対して保持されている。他の構成は図１の実施形態と同様であり、対応する部分には同一符号を付しておく。本例では、リム３とスカート７間の隙間８から、便器２ボウルとスカート７との隙間９に通じる通線スペース１０が設けられ、この通線スペース１０に沿って通電線６の配線を行なっている。さらに振動部５をリム３に取り付けるにあたって、振動部５を例えば防水ゴム等からなる筒状の弾性体１１で覆うと共にリム３に設けたリム３開口に振動部５を嵌め込み、振動部５の上半部をリム３よりも上方に突出させた状態で、弾性体１１をリム３に対して保持している。しかして、便座４の開閉動作時に、リム３に設けた振動部５に衝撃が加わらないことと同様に、通電線６にも負担が加わることがなくなり、振動部５の高信頼性が得られると共に便器２の外側面をカバーするスカート７を利用して通電線６を配線できるので、通電線６が外部から見えないようにでき、外観性も良好となる。さらに、防水ゴム等からなる弾性体１１によって振動部５への水の浸入を防止できるようになると共に、弾性体１１は振動部５の振動を妨げることもないので振動が減衰せず、この結果、振動部５の長期信頼性を向上させながら、同時に大きな振動量を維持できるようになる。 FIG. 2 is an embodiment corresponding to claims 1 and 3 , and the conducting wire 6 of the vibrating part 5 is wired through a gap 8 formed between the skirt 7 and the rim 3 that covers the outer surface of the toilet 2. Has been. Furthermore, the vibration part 5 is held with respect to the rim 3 using an elastic body 11 that is waterproof and does not hinder vibration. Other configurations are the same as those of the embodiment of FIG. 1, and corresponding portions are denoted by the same reference numerals. In this example, a wiring space 10 is provided from the gap 8 between the rim 3 and the skirt 7 to the clearance 9 between the toilet bowl 2 and the skirt 7, and the conductive wire 6 is wired along the wiring space 10. ing. Further, when attaching the vibration part 5 to the rim 3, the vibration part 5 is covered with a cylindrical elastic body 11 made of, for example, waterproof rubber, and the vibration part 5 is fitted into an opening of the rim 3 provided on the rim 3. The elastic body 11 is held with respect to the rim 3 in a state where the half portion protrudes upward from the rim 3. Accordingly, during the opening / closing operation of the toilet seat 4, no load is applied to the conducting wire 6 as well as no impact is applied to the vibration part 5 provided on the rim 3, and high reliability of the vibration part 5 is obtained. In addition, since the conducting wire 6 can be wired using the skirt 7 that covers the outer surface of the toilet 2, the conducting wire 6 can be prevented from being seen from the outside, and the appearance is also improved. Furthermore, the elastic body 11 made of waterproof rubber or the like can prevent water from entering the vibrating portion 5 and the elastic body 11 does not interfere with the vibration of the vibrating portion 5 so that the vibration is not attenuated. The large vibration amount can be maintained at the same time while improving the long-term reliability of the vibration part 5.

図３は、請求項４に対応する実施形態であり、便座４に着座時の体重がかかった際に該体重を受けるための支持バネ１２を振動部５に設けた場合の一例を示している。他の構成は図１又は図２の実施形態と同様であり、対応する部分には同一符号を付しておく。本例では、体重による押し付けに対し、更に便座４の振動量を増加させるために支持バネ１２を用いるものであり、図３の例では支持バネ１２は、振動部５に一体に取り付けられて上下方向に伸縮自在なコイルバネで構成されている。図中のＦは体重による押し付け方向、Ｇは便座４の振動する方向である。なお、支持バネ１２を振動部５と一体にせず、例えばリム３の内部に隠蔽して設置して、振動部５に対して下方からバネ力を付与する構成とすることも可能である。しかして、便座４に体重がかかった際に支持バネ１２によって体重に対する反力が発生するようになるので、振動部５を単に便座４に接触させて振動を伝える構造と比較して、大きな振動量を発生させることが可能となり、臀部のマッサージ感、便意促進感等をより一層高めることが可能となる。 FIG. 3 is an embodiment corresponding to claim 4 and shows an example in which a support spring 12 for receiving the weight when the toilet seat 4 is loaded is provided on the vibrating portion 5. . Other configurations are the same as those of the embodiment of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, and corresponding portions are denoted by the same reference numerals. In this example, the support spring 12 is used to further increase the amount of vibration of the toilet seat 4 against the pressing by the body weight. In the example of FIG. It consists of a coil spring that can be expanded and contracted in the direction. In the figure, F is a pressing direction according to body weight, and G is a direction in which the toilet seat 4 vibrates. Note that the support spring 12 may not be integrated with the vibration part 5 but may be concealed and installed inside the rim 3 to apply a spring force to the vibration part 5 from below. Thus, when the body weight is applied to the toilet seat 4, a reaction force against the body weight is generated by the support spring 12, so that the vibration is larger than the structure in which the vibration unit 5 is simply brought into contact with the toilet seat 4 to transmit the vibration. It becomes possible to generate the amount, and it becomes possible to further enhance the feeling of massage of the buttocks, the feeling of promoting convenience, and the like.

図４は、請求項５に対応する実施形態であり、便座４への着座を検知するセンサ１３と、センサ１３からの信号に応じて着座時と振動部５の振動開始及び離座時と振動終了のそれぞれのタイミングを連動させる制御手段（図示せず）とを設けたものである。他の構成は図１又は図２又は図３の実施形態と同様であり、対応する部分には同一符号を付しておく。本例では、振動発生の制御方法として、図４（ａ）に示すように、便器２に設けた着座センサ１３ａ（例えば赤外線人感センサ）と連動して、着座時に振動を開始し、立ち上がった時に振動を停止させるように制御するものである。また別の制御方法として、図４（ｂ）に示すように、振動する振動部５の下面側に荷重検知センサ１３ｂを設置し、着座時の体重Ｆを検知して振動を開始し、体重がかからなくなった時に振動を停止させるようにしてもよい。しかして、着座と振動開始、離座と振動終了とのタイミングをそれぞれ連動させることにより、振動部５の切／入の操作が不要となり、無駄な振動をなくして省エネ化を図ると共に、利便性の向上も図ることが可能となる。 FIG. 4 is an embodiment corresponding to claim 5 , and a sensor 13 for detecting the seating on the toilet seat 4, and a vibration at the time of sitting and at the start of vibration of the vibration unit 5 and at the time of the separation according to a signal from the sensor 13. Control means (not shown) for interlocking each timing of the end is provided. Other configurations are the same as those in the embodiment of FIG. 1, FIG. 2, or FIG. In this example, as a vibration generation control method, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), in conjunction with a seating sensor 13a (for example, an infrared human sensor) provided in the toilet 2, vibration starts at the time of sitting and rises. Sometimes it controls to stop the vibration. As another control method, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), a load detection sensor 13b is installed on the lower surface side of the vibrating part 5 to vibrate, and the body weight F at the time of sitting is detected to start vibration. The vibration may be stopped when it is no longer applied. Thus, by linking the timing of seating and vibration start, and the timing of separation and vibration end, the operation of turning on / off the vibration unit 5 becomes unnecessary, eliminating unnecessary vibration and saving energy, and convenience. It is also possible to improve.
