The second louver portion 62 has a plurality of elongated plate-like second wing plate members 621, and is formed by arranging the plurality of second wing plate members 621 adjacent to each other with a predetermined gap 620. It is done. In detail, the first wing plate member 611 and the second wing plate member 621 are arranged such that the second wing plate member 621 is disposed at the position of the gap 610 between the first wing plate members 611 arranged with an interval. And are alternately arranged along the vertical direction. The second wing plate member 621 extends in a substantially horizontal direction in its longitudinal direction, and is disposed along the width direction of the louver portion 6 (the front-rear direction of the main body portion 51). The second wing plate member 621 is disposed to be inclined downward toward the outside.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 4 (b), the second wing plate member 621 has a curved portion 623 curved so that a substantially central portion in the width direction in the cross sectional view is upwardly convex. The outer end portion (lower end portion 611 b) of the first wing plate member 611 is disposed below the inner end portion (upper end portion 621 a) of the adjacent second wing plate member 621. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, in the cross-sectional view of the louver portion 6, the lower end portion 611 b of the first wing plate member 611 and the upper end portion 621 a of the second wing plate member 621 have a lateral position of the toilet bowl device 1 Overlap (see dotted line C in FIG. 5). Further, the lower end portion 611 b of the first wing plate member 611 and the upper end portion 621 a of the second wing plate member 621 overlap vertically (see A in FIG. 5). Note that both the upper end portion of the first wing plate member 611 and the lower end portion of the second wing plate member 621 overlap vertically (see B in FIG. 5). The inclination angle of the first wing plate member 611 and the inclination angle of the second wing plate member 621 are formed to be substantially the same.

  As described above, the lower end portion 611b of the first wing plate member 611 and the upper end portion 621a of the second wing plate member 621 overlap in a cross sectional view, and the first louver portion 61 and the second louver portion 62 mutually overlap in the vertical direction It is arranged overlapping. As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the first wing plate member 611 and the second wing plate member 621 are alternately arranged. As described above, since the first wing plate member 611 is positioned deep in the gap 620 between the second wing plate members 621, the first louver portion 61 and the second louver portion 62 are viewed from the front. There is no gap between them.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, since gaps 610 and 620 are respectively formed between the first wing plate members 611 adjacent to each other in the upper and lower direction and between the second feather plate members 621 adjacent to the upper and lower sides, respectively. The warm air discharged from the heater 4 is discharged to the outside through the gaps 610 and 620. At this time, since the lower end portion 611 b of the first wing plate member 611 is disposed below the upper end portion 621 a of the second wing plate member 621, the discharged warm air hits the second wing plate member 621. It will be discharged smoothly.

  Further, as the second wing plate member 621 has the curved portion 623, a spread is formed in the flow path of the circulating warm air.

  Further, since the inclination angle of the first wing plate member 611 and the inclination angle of the second wing plate member 621 are formed to be substantially the same, the warm air flowing through the exhaust passage 42 moves from the gap 610 to the gap 620 It is discharged downward at the same angle.

According to the present embodiment, the following effects are achieved.
In the present embodiment, the toilet apparatus 1 includes a heater 4 for warming the inside of the toilet room, and a main body 51 having a main body exhaust port 510 for storing the heater 4 and discharging the warm air from the heater 4. And a cover 52 having a cover exhaust port 520 formed at the position of the main body exhaust port 510 while covering the main body 51. Further, the first wing plate member 5611 provided in the main body exhaust port 510 and extending in the substantially horizontal direction is disposed so as to be inclined downward toward the outer side, and a plurality of adjacent vertically spaced directions with predetermined gaps 610 The first louver portion 61 to be disposed, and the second wing plate member 621 provided in the cover portion exhaust port 520 and extending in a substantially horizontal direction are disposed so as to incline downward toward the outer side, and a predetermined gap 620 in the vertical direction And a plurality of second louver portions 62 disposed adjacent to each other. The first louver part 61 and the second louver part 621 are arranged so that the first louver part 611 and the second louver part 621 overlap so as to fill the gap 620 between the second louver parts 621. I did.

  According to the present embodiment, the second wing plate member 621 of the second louver portion 62 provided on the cover portion 52 side and the first wing plate member 611 of the first louver portion 61 provided on the main body portion 51 side However, since the first wing plate member 611 and the second wing plate member 621 are arranged so as to fill the gap 620, the first wing plate member 611 and the first wing plate member 611 are viewed from the front of the louver portion 6 A gap is not formed between the two wing plate members 621. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the entry of water from the outside of the functional unit 5 into the inside. Furthermore, since the first louver portion 61 and the second louver portion 62 can prevent water from entering, it is not necessary to take an extra space inside the functional portion 5, and the heat generating portion 44 of the heater 4 can be used as the first louver portion. It becomes possible to arrange adjacent to 61 and to miniaturize the heater 4.

  Further, even when the user lifts up the toilet seat of the toilet bowl device 1 and cleans the toilet seat 7 and the toilet bowl portion 2, since the first louver portion 61 is disposed at the main body exhaust port 510, it is used The user does not accidentally touch the heater 4 disposed inside the main body 51.

  Further, since the first wing plate member 611 and the second wing plate member 621 are inclined downward toward the outer side, the warm air is discharged downward of the toilet room. As the warm air rises, the toilet room warms up efficiently.

  According to the present embodiment, the second wing plate member 621 is configured to include the curved portion 623 that is convex outward. Thereby, the volume of the warm air which is discharged | emitted by passing the clearance gap 620 of 2nd wing board members 621 comrades can be taken large. For this reason, even if the first wing plate member 611 and the second wing plate member 621 are arranged to overlap each other in the vertical direction, the warm air can be discharged satisfactorily.

  According to the present embodiment, the lower end 611 b which is the outer end of the first wing plate member 611 is disposed lower than the upper end 621 a which is the inner end of the adjacent second wing plate member 621. As a result, the first wing plate member 611 and the second wing plate member 621 overlap in the vertical direction in a cross sectional view, and the same effect as described above is obtained, and the temperature discharged from the exhaust passage 42 of the heater 4 Since the wind passes through the gap 610 between the first wing plate members 611 and is discharged to the outside without hitting the upper end portion 621 a of the second wing plate member 621, no turbulent flow occurs and the hot air is efficiently discharged. It can be discharged.

  According to the present embodiment, the inclination angle of the first wing plate member 611 and the inclination angle of the second wing plate member 621 are configured to be substantially the same. Thereby, since the first wing plate member 611 and the second wing plate member 621 are inclined at the same angle, the gap 610 between the first wing plate members 611 and the gap 620 between the second wing plate members 621 are continuous. And warm air is discharged smoothly. When the inclination angle of the first wing plate member 611 and the inclination angle of the second wing plate member 621 are different, the warm air passing through the gap 610 is blocked by the second wing plate member 621 and a turbulent flow is generated. Although it is assumed, in the present embodiment, since the inclination angles of the both are the same, similarly to the above, it is possible to efficiently discharge warm air without generating turbulent flow.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, and the like as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved are included in the present invention.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the heater 4 and the exhaust port 53 are disposed at the end of the functional unit 5 in the left-right direction, but the present invention is not limited to this. As long as the toilet room can be warmed, the arrangement is not restricted.
