  In the conventional exchangeable toilet seat, the toilet seat surface portion can be removed, the toilet seat surface portion can be washed and replaced, and the cleanliness of the toilet seat surface portion can be maintained. However, the removal of the toilet seat surface from the base part attached to the toilet body requires that the heater part on both sides of the base part be pulled out at the same time, and the base part is removed for cleaning and replacement. Is not easy. For example, if the replacement is left for a while, the base portion may be deteriorated in cleanliness due to dirt and scratches. Further, in the conventional exchangeable toilet seat, there is a slight step at the joint portion between the base portion and the toilet seat surface portion so as to be flush with the toilet seat surface portion. Tends to accumulate. Further, since the functional member such as the cleaning device is not covered with the base portion or the toilet lid, dust and dirt are likely to accumulate similarly.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides an exchangeable toilet seat in which the toilet seat can be easily replaced so that a clean feeling can be maintained.

The means taken to solve the above problems, have a cleaning means for cleaning the seat the user is seated, the body of a local attached to the toilet body, top and front sides of the seat side A functional member having a rear side opposite to the seating portion side, and a pair of side surfaces connecting the front side and the rear side, the upper surface of the functional member, the front side, the rear side, and A cover portion that covers the pair of side surfaces, and the cover portion and the seating portion are integrally formed so that the seating surfaces of the cover portion and the seating portion are flush with each other, and are detachable from the functional member. The configuration.

  In this case, the cover part and the seating part are preferably made of a foam material.

  Moreover, it is good to set it as the structure which the surface of a cover part and a seating part carries out surface contact with respect to a toilet bowl main body.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that a predetermined space is formed when the functional member is stored in the cover portion.

  According to the present invention, the exchangeable toilet seat suppresses the accumulation of dirt and dust around the functional member because the upper surface and the side surface of the functional member fixed to the toilet body are covered with the cover portion of the toilet seat. Can do. Furthermore, since the cover part and the seating part are integrally formed, the seating surfaces of the cover part and the seating part have no steps or grooves, and the adhesion of dirt and dust can be reduced. Since this exchangeable toilet seat is installed so as to cover the upper and side surfaces of the functional member and the toilet body, the functional member and the toilet body can be attached and detached, for example, upward, and the exchangeable toilet seat can be easily cleaned and replaced. is there. For this reason, the user can keep the seating part of the exchangeable toilet seat clean.

  This exchangeable toilet seat is made of a foam material. Foam is lower in thermal conductivity than materials used in conventional toilet seats (for example, polypropylene resin in a non-foamed state), so the user can cool the foam against the temperature of the foam even when the temperature of the outside air is low. Since it is difficult to feel, the exchangeable toilet seat need not be provided with a heating device. For this reason, replacement type toilet seats can be removed from the toilet bowl and washed when cleaning, not only the seating surface, but also the seating surface. Can be simplified, can be manufactured at low cost without the need for complicated circuits. Further, since the exchangeable toilet seat can be manufactured at low cost, the toilet seat can be exchanged at a low cost, which is economical.

  This exchangeable toilet seat is formed with a predetermined space when the functional member is stored in the cover portion, so that the exchangeable toilet seat can be removed with reduced friction when the exchangeable toilet seat is detached from the functional member. It becomes easy. Furthermore, the predetermined space accommodates the deformed portion against deformation caused by bending of the exchangeable toilet seat that occurs when the user is seated, and the load on the exchangeable toilet seat and the functional member is reduced.

  In this exchangeable toilet seat, the bottom surface of the cover portion and the seating portion is in surface contact with the toilet body, whereby the gap between the cover portion and the seating portion and the toilet body can be reduced. In addition, when a foam material with elasticity is used, a force is applied to the interchangeable toilet seat when the user is seated, so the shape of the interchangeable toilet seat is deformed due to elasticity, so that the seat is in close contact with the toilet body. It is possible to increase the sex.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

Example 1
A configuration of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram when the exchangeable toilet seat 1 is assembled to the toilet body 2, and FIG. 2 shows a three-view diagram of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 shown in FIG. Further, FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 and the functional member 3.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the replaceable toilet seat 1 includes a toilet lid so as to cover a functional member 3 (see FIG. 3) having a cleaning mechanism for cleaning a local part of a human body attached to the toilet body 2 from the periphery. It is provided above the toilet opening in the absence. Furthermore, the functional member 3 includes a cord 4 for supplying electricity for moving a hot water supply mechanism, a lever-like operation unit 5 for starting the cleaning mechanism, and a supply tube 6 for supplying cleaning water to the cleaning mechanism. Is provided, and a cutout portion 7 is provided on a side portion of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 to secure a space for attachment to the functional member 3 and to allow the operation portion 5 to be operated.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the exchangeable toilet seat 1 accommodates a functional member 3 therein, and a cover portion 11 that covers the entire functional member 3 and a seating portion 12 on which a user is seated are formed integrally. The seat portion 16 and the seating surface 16 and the bottom surface 14 of the seating portion 12 are flush with each other. In this interchangeable toilet seat 1, the cover portion 11 and the seat portion 12 are integrally formed, and the seating surface 16 and the bottom surface 14 are flush with each other, thereby suppressing the formation of steps and grooves that cause dirt on the seating surface 16. Is possible. Further, since the cover portion 11 does not have a stopper mechanism for fixing the toilet seat to the bottom surface portion, the exchangeable toilet seat 1 has a structure that covers the functional member 3 so that it can be detached from the functional member. It is very easy to do by moving upwards. Furthermore, the exchangeable toilet seat 1 has a structure in which dirt and dust do not easily accumulate due to the simplification of the structure.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the exchangeable toilet seat 1, a seating surface 16 on which a user of the cover portion 11 and the seating portion 12 sits is provided with a gentle concave surface 13 from the seating portion toward the upper portion of the cover portion. Thereby, since the back of the seating surface 16 of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 is widened, the seating area is widened, so that the user can sit comfortably and use it during use. In addition, since the seating area increases toward the rear of the seating surface, it is not necessary for a man to raise the interchangeable toilet seat 1 at the time of small use, and thus a rotation mechanism for raising the toilet seat of the conventional replaceable toilet seat 1 can be used. And cost can be reduced.

  Next, attachment of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention to the toilet body 2 will be described. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA when the toilet seat body 2 of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 is attached.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the cover portion 11 is formed so as to cover the upper surface 31 and the side surface 32 of the functional member 3. Further, when the exchangeable toilet seat 1 is attached, a predetermined space 8 may be formed between the cover portion 11 and the functional member 3. As a result, the friction between the cover 11 and the functional member 3 is reduced, and when the toilet body 2 is removed by the user, the feeling of resistance is reduced, which facilitates the toilet seat exchange that maintains a clean feeling. Prompt. The exchangeable toilet seat 1 is molded using a foam material (for example, polypropylene resin, PET resin, etc., and the foaming rate may be about 15 to 30 times). These foam materials have lower thermal conductivity than materials used in conventional toilet seats (such as polypropylene resin that is not foamed), and it is difficult to convey the cold to the user even when the temperature of the outside air drops. When used for the type toilet seat 1, the user can sit on the exchangeable toilet seat 1 without feeling cold even if the seating surface 16 is not particularly heated. Furthermore, since a mechanism for heating the replaceable toilet seat 1 is not particularly necessary, the shape of the replaceable toilet seat 1 can be simplified, leading to a reduction in manufacturing cost. By simplifying the shape of the replaceable toilet seat 1, the replaceable toilet seat 1 can suppress complicated grooves and steps, and can be easily washed with water after replacement. Further, the exchangeable toilet seat 1 is shaped so as to draw a gentle curve from the outside to the inside of the seating surface 16, and the inside is lower than the outside, so that it is depressed toward the center of the exchangeable toilet seat 1. Because of the shape, the user can get a fit when seated and can be used comfortably. Further, since the bottom surface 14 of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 that is in contact with the toilet body 2 is a flat surface, dirt and dust do not easily accumulate, and it is easy to remove and clean the toilet seat.

  Next, the relationship of the contact part at the time of attachment of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 and the toilet body 2 at the time of seating concerning the Example of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 and the toilet body 2 at the time of sitting, (a) when not seated, (b) when seated.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, when the user is not seated on the replaceable toilet seat 1, the bottom surface 14 of the replaceable toilet seat 1 that is in contact with the toilet body 2 is maintained flat. However, when the user is seated as shown in (b), force is applied to the seating surface 16 from the human body to the exchangeable toilet seat 1, and the force is transmitted to the contact surface 17 with the toilet body 2. Thereby, since the bottom surface 14 of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 is widely formed with respect to the contact surface 17 of the toilet body 2, it receives a repulsive force from the toilet body 2 at the contact portion with the toilet body 2, and the rest Since the force repelling the force of the seating surface 16 is small in the portion, the exchangeable toilet seat 1 made of foam material is elastically deformed by the force of the seating surface 16 acting in and out of the toilet body 2. Since the elastic deformation of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 fills the gap between the exchangeable toilet seat 1 and the toilet body 2, it is possible to prevent urine from splashing outside the toilet body 2.

(Example 2)
Next, the configuration of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 shows a top view of the exchangeable toilet seat 1 having a mesh structure, and FIG. 7 shows a (c) BB cross-sectional view and (d) a partially enlarged view of the exchange toilet seat having a mesh structure.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the exchangeable toilet seat 1, a mesh-shaped uneven portion 15 is formed on the cover portion 11 and the seating surface 16 of the seating portion 12, which are ranges in which a user is seated. From (c) and (d) of FIG. 7, the uneven portion 15 reduces the contact area between the user and the seating surface 16, and a gap is provided between the human body and the exchangeable toilet seat 1. It becomes difficult for heat to be transmitted from the exchangeable toilet seat 1 to the user, and it is possible to further reduce the cold felt by the user.

  As mentioned above, although the structure of the Example was demonstrated, this invention is not limited to this, You may change into the aspect shown below.

The exchangeable toilet seat 1 can be exchanged for a toilet seat with various color patterns.

  Since the exchangeable toilet seat 1 can be removed because the toilet seat can be removed, it is possible to maintain a clean feeling by the replacement. And since the exchangeable toilet seat 1 uses the foam material, it is possible to select the color of the toilet seat that suits the user's preference by coloring the foam material, prompting the user to replace the toilet seat, and more A feeling of cleanliness can be maintained.

In this embodiment, the toilet lid is not attached, but the toilet lid may be attached in a state where the exchangeable toilet seat is removable.
