Description

本発明は使用後の便座を自動的に洗浄して乾燥させるための洋式便器に於ける便座洗浄装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a toilet seat cleaning apparatus in a Western-style toilet for automatically cleaning and drying a used toilet seat.

従来、洋式便器の便座洗浄装置に於いて、便座表面を一気に洗浄した後、乾燥させるものや、便座を持上げて立設した状態で且つ密閉状態で洗浄液を噴射し、蒸気又はエアを噴射して乾燥させるものなど多くの提案がなされている。特に簡単な構造で且つ小型化したものとして、特開平3−244419号や特開昭63−97124号がある。特開平3−244419号の構造は、伏倒使用位置から起立待機位置までの移動自在な便座を備えた洋風便器において、起立待機位置側に、待機中の便座の着座面に臨む洗浄液噴出口を設けたものである。又、特開昭63−97124号の構造は、便器の後部領域に鉛直に配置されその前面の少なくとも一部に出入用トラップドアが形成された密閉容器と、便器上に水平に載置された使用位置から密閉容器内に鉛直に配置される洗浄位置まで便座を案内し出入用トラップドアの開閉を同時に制御すべく機能する移動手段であって、連結手段によって便器の後部領域と出入用トラップドアとに連結され鉛直方向で上下に移動すべくモータ駆動されるアセンブリを内包する移動手段と、密閉容器に内蔵され洗浄水を便座に噴出すべく構成された洗浄手段と、密閉容器内で空気を循環させるように構成された乾燥手段と、モータ駆動されるアセンブリと洗浄手段と乾燥手段とのタイミング制御手段とを組み合わせて有する構造としたものである。   Conventionally, in toilet seat cleaning devices for Western-style toilet bowls, the toilet seat surface is washed at once and then dried, or the cleaning liquid is sprayed in a sealed state in which the toilet seat is lifted up and sealed, and steam or air is sprayed. Many proposals have been made on what to dry. JP-A-3-244419 and JP-A-63-97124 are particularly simple structures and miniaturized ones. The structure of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-244419 is a Western-style toilet equipped with a toilet seat movable from a prone use position to a stand-by standby position, and a washing liquid jet port facing the seating surface of the stand-by toilet seat is provided on the stand-by standby position side. It is provided. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-97124 has a structure in which a closed container vertically disposed in the rear region of the toilet bowl and having an entrance / exit trap door formed on at least a part of the front face thereof is horizontally placed on the toilet bowl. It is a moving means that functions to guide the toilet seat from the use position to the washing position vertically arranged in the closed container and to control the opening and closing of the entrance / exit trap door at the same time. Moving means containing a motor-driven assembly connected vertically to move up and down, cleaning means built in the sealed container and configured to jet wash water to the toilet seat, and air in the sealed container A drying unit configured to circulate, a motor-driven assembly, a cleaning unit, and a timing control unit of the drying unit are combined to have a structure.

しかしながら特開平3−244419号は、便座の使用時には扉が閉じず、温風供給箱, 洗浄液用送液管,温風突出口などが正面から見えるため、見た目が良くないものであると共に、洗浄水や温風が人の背中に向って出る恐れがあった。しかも便座の表面側の洗浄しかできず、裏面側の洗浄は定期的に人手によって行わなければならなかった。   However, JP-A-3-244419 does not close the door when the toilet seat is used, and the hot air supply box, the cleaning liquid feeding pipe, the hot air protruding port, etc. are visible from the front, so that the appearance is not good and the cleaning is performed. There was a risk of water and warm air coming out toward the person's back. Moreover, only the front side of the toilet seat could be cleaned, and the back side had to be periodically cleaned manually.

一方、特開昭63−97124号は、便座の後部が引上げられて密閉容器内に且つ鉛直に収納されるが、この時、便座の前部下面が便器表面を摺動するため、便座の下面が汚れていると便器表面を毎回汚れが塗布された状態となってしまう恐れがあると共に便座下面と便器表面に硬いゴミや砂状のゴミなどが付着していると、便器表面に、擦り傷やペーパーを掛けたような艶消し状の微小な傷を付ける恐れがあった。更に便座表面は毎回トラップドアの裏面に接触して擦れるため、便器表面と同様に、トラップドアの裏面に汚れが付着すると毎回汚れが便座表面に塗布された状態となってしまう恐れがあると共にトラップドアの裏面に硬いゴミや砂状のゴミなどが付着していると、便座表面には、擦り傷や艶消し状の微小な傷が付き、便器全体のイメージダウンとなる恐れがあった。又、便座が密閉容器の内部で洗浄された後に乾燥しても、便座を完全に乾燥させるためには時間が多く掛かると共に洗浄水が下方へ流れて集められるため、便座前側及びトラップドア下部に水滴が残り易く、且つ、トラップドア下部と便座表面が接触して便器にセットされるため、便座表面に水滴が残って完全な乾燥が難しいものであった。   On the other hand, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-97124, the rear part of the toilet seat is pulled up and stored vertically in a sealed container. At this time, the front lower surface of the toilet seat slides on the toilet surface. If the surface of the toilet bowl is dirty, the surface of the toilet bowl may be smudged every time, and if hard or sandy debris adheres to the toilet seat bottom and toilet surface, There was a risk of frosted fine scratches such as paper hanging. Furthermore, since the toilet seat surface contacts and rubs against the back surface of the trap door every time, as with the toilet bowl surface, if dirt adheres to the back surface of the trap door, there is a risk that the stain will be applied to the toilet seat surface each time and the trap is trapped. If hard or sandy debris adheres to the back of the door, the toilet seat surface may be scratched or frosted, causing the image of the entire toilet to be down. Also, even if the toilet seat is dried after being cleaned inside the sealed container, it takes time to completely dry the toilet seat and the wash water flows downward and is collected. Water droplets are likely to remain, and since the lower part of the trap door and the toilet seat surface come into contact with each other and are set in the toilet bowl, water droplets remain on the toilet seat surface and it is difficult to completely dry.

開閉機構部(8)へ制御ボックスからの指令が送られて来ると、先ず開閉用シリンダー(84)が作動して図3に示す白抜き矢印のように開閉用シリンダー(84)のロッドが伸長されて水平移動し、このロッドの移動に伴って左側の自動開閉戸(31)が細線矢印のように開かれるのである。この時、ピニオン(82)は噛合する上方のラック(81)によって回転され、且つ、該ピニオン(82)の回転に伴って下方のラック(81)を右側の二点鎖線の矢印のように外側へ移動させることにより、ラック(81)と共に右側の自動開閉戸(31)が細線の矢印のように開かれるのである。次に前記制御ボックスから水平移動手段(5)へ指令が送られる。すると、先ずシリンダー(53)が作動してロッドを収縮させることにより、支持片(51)が図1に示す2点鎖線の矢印のように右側へ移動すると共に便座(2)も2点鎖線の矢印のように右側へ移動して洗浄室(3)内に収納される。前記便座(2)が洗浄室(3)内に収納すると、開閉用シリンダー(84)が作動してロッドを収縮させることにより、一対の自動開閉戸(31)が閉じられる。これで便座(2)の洗浄準備が完了するのである。   When a command from the control box is sent to the opening / closing mechanism (8), the opening / closing cylinder (84) is first actuated to extend the rod of the opening / closing cylinder (84) as shown by the white arrow in FIG. Then, it moves horizontally, and as the rod moves, the left automatic door (31) is opened as shown by a thin line arrow. At this time, the pinion (82) is rotated by the meshing upper rack (81), and the lower rack (81) is moved outward as indicated by the two-dot chain line arrow on the right side as the pinion (82) rotates. The right automatic opening / closing door (31) together with the rack (81) is opened as shown by the thin line arrow. Next, a command is sent from the control box to the horizontal moving means (5). Then, first, the cylinder (53) is actuated to contract the rod, so that the support piece (51) moves to the right side as indicated by the two-dot chain line arrow shown in FIG. 1, and the toilet seat (2) also has the two-dot chain line. It moves to the right side as indicated by the arrow and is stored in the cleaning chamber (3). When the toilet seat (2) is housed in the washing chamber (3), the pair of automatic doors (31) is closed by operating the opening / closing cylinder (84) to contract the rod. This completes preparation for cleaning the toilet seat (2).

その後、制御ボックスからの指令が送られて、洗浄手段(6)を作動させる。つまり、図示しない洗浄液タンクからポンプによって噴射管(61)へ洗浄液が供給されると共にその洗浄液が多数の噴射孔(62)から便座(2)の両面に向って噴射して洗浄作業を行う。この洗浄液は便座(2)の両面に当り、水滴となって落下する。所定時間経過すると、前記ポンプが停止されると共に図示しない電磁切換弁が洗浄液からエアに切換えられる。その後、図示しないファンが作動し、エアが噴射管(61)に供給されて、各噴射孔(62)から便座(2)の両面にエアを噴射させ、乾燥作業が開始される。この時、エアは加熱された状態で噴射されるのが好ましい。エアは所定時間を経過すると、前記ファンが停止し、便座(2)の洗浄作業と乾燥作業は完了する。尚、前記洗浄作業と乾燥作業は本発明者が提案した特願2001−313770で開示した工程と略同じ工程で行えば良い。   Thereafter, a command from the control box is sent to activate the cleaning means (6). That is, the cleaning liquid is supplied from the cleaning liquid tank (not shown) to the injection pipe (61) by the pump, and the cleaning liquid is sprayed from both the injection holes (62) toward both sides of the toilet seat (2) to perform the cleaning operation. This cleaning liquid hits both sides of the toilet seat (2) and falls as water droplets. When a predetermined time has elapsed, the pump is stopped and an electromagnetic switching valve (not shown) is switched from the cleaning liquid to air. Thereafter, a fan (not shown) is operated, air is supplied to the injection pipe (61), air is injected from the respective injection holes (62) onto both surfaces of the toilet seat (2), and a drying operation is started. At this time, the air is preferably jetted in a heated state. When the air has passed a predetermined time, the fan stops and the cleaning operation and the drying operation of the toilet seat (2) are completed. The cleaning operation and the drying operation may be performed in substantially the same steps as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-313770 proposed by the present inventor.

次に制御ボックスから開閉機構部(8)へ指令が送られ、自動開閉戸(31)を開く。そして水平移動手段(5)を作動させて、便座(2)を洗浄室(3)から出し、更に回動手段(4)を作動させて、立設状態の便座(2)を便器(1)上に載置させる。その後、開閉機構部(8)を作動させ、自動開閉戸(31)を閉じることにより、全ての工程が完了し、次の便器(1)の使用を待つのである。このようにして便器(1)が使用されると、便座(2)が立設し、自動開閉戸(31)が開かれた後、便座(2)が洗浄室(3)に入れられて密閉され、その便座(2)を洗浄及び乾燥させる。次に便座(2)を洗浄室(3)から出し、元の位置に便座(2)を戻して便器(1)上に載置させることにより、使用後の便座(2)が自動的に洗浄されて常に便座(2)を清潔に保持することができ、特に公衆トイレや企業内のトイレに於いて、不特定多数の人が使用しても、使用者が清潔で安心して使用出来るものとなるのである。   Next, a command is sent from the control box to the opening / closing mechanism (8) to open the automatic opening / closing door (31). Then, the horizontal moving means (5) is operated, the toilet seat (2) is taken out of the washing chamber (3), and the rotating means (4) is further operated to turn the toilet seat (2) in the standing state into the toilet bowl (1). Place on top. Thereafter, the opening / closing mechanism (8) is operated and the automatic opening / closing door (31) is closed, whereby all the steps are completed and the use of the next toilet (1) is awaited. When the toilet bowl (1) is used in this way, the toilet seat (2) is erected and the automatic door (31) is opened, and then the toilet seat (2) is placed in the washing room (3) and sealed. The toilet seat (2) is washed and dried. Next, take the toilet seat (2) out of the washing room (3), return the toilet seat (2) to its original position and place it on the toilet (1), so that the toilet seat (2) after use is automatically cleaned The toilet seat (2) can always be kept clean, especially in public toilets and corporate toilets, even if it is used by an unspecified number of people, the user can use it cleanly and with peace of mind.
