Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet seat device for supporting a seating motion and a seating motion on a toilet seat during use.

  The sitting and leaving actions on the toilet seat during urination are burdensome, especially for the elderly and physically handicapped persons such as persons with physical disabilities, and it is difficult to ensure safety. As a technique for improving such a situation, for example, a toilet device as disclosed in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.

  In this toilet device, the toilet seat is supported by a support frame having a pair of left and right parallel four-bar links, and the parallel four-bar links are driven by an electric expansion and contraction driving body, so that the toilet seat is vertically moved in a horizontal posture. It is configured to move. Then, when the user sits on the toilet seat in the raised position, the toilet seat is lowered as it is and stopped in the lowered position on the toilet side, and the toilet is used here while the toilet seat is raised from the lowered position to the raised position after the toilet. , The user is allowed to sit at this elevated position.

  In this way, the user can sit and sit on the toilet seat in the upright posture during urination, and after the toilet is erected from the toilet seat in the upright posture, it is possible to flex and extend the legs and waist by the user's own physical strength. By avoiding the above, it is intended to reduce the labor and safety associated with the stool.

It is a well-known fact that there are many people.

  For this reason, for example, the user who is a physically weak person stands at a position immediately before the toilet bowl during urination and with his back to the toilet bowl, and the toilet seat of the toilet device rises to a predetermined position. If you try to sit on this toilet seat after waiting for, if the standing position is too close to the toilet bowl, the rising toilet seat hits the back side of the thigh and the user is pushed forward, or the knee collapses. There is a problem in terms of safety because it is thought that it will cause a stifle.

  Further, the moving surface of the raising and lowering motion of the toilet seat is held constant, and swinging change in the left-right direction is restricted. Therefore, for example, when the user sits on the toilet seat, the buttocks of the user may shift in the left-right direction with respect to the toilet seat.In this case, if the user is physically weak, the user may shift the position by himself. In many cases, it is difficult to correct the above, and as a result, the user has to use it in this misaligned state, which is a heavy burden.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made for the purpose of providing a toilet seat device that is less burdensome for the user and excellent in safety by making the relative positional relationship between the user and the toilet seat flexible. ..

FIG. 7 is a side view showing a state in which a support leg 1 is raised by extending an expansion support 3 to be described later.

  First, the overall configuration of the toilet seat device Z will be specifically described. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the toilet seat device Z includes a pair of left and right support leg portions 1 that are spaced apart from each other with a predetermined distance. The pair of left and right support legs 1 and 1 have the same structure, but are oppositely formed, and one support leg 1 will be described here.

  The support leg portion 1 is provided with a pair of front and rear telescopic columns 3 standing upright on both front and rear ends of the grounding material 2 extending in the front-back direction of the toilet body 31, and on the upper ends of the pair of telescopic columns 3. It is provided with a pair of left and right fixing members 6 which are fixed and extend downward, and a flat plate member 7 whose both edge portions are fixed to the pair of left and right fixing members 6, 6. The height of the telescopic support column 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of telescopic support, and the height adjustment unit 4 holds the telescopic column 3 at a predetermined height.

  Further, a pair of guide rods 8 are arranged in parallel with each other on the flat plate member 7 at a predetermined interval. In this case, the pair of guide rods 8 are arranged so as to incline toward the front side of the toilet body 31 from the lower end side toward the upper end side, and the upper and lower ends thereof are fixed to the flat plate member 7. Has been done. A pair of left and right sliders 9 and 9 fixed to both side edges of a flat plate-shaped lifting body 10 are fitted and inserted into the pair of guide rods 8 and 8. , 8 and can be moved up and down diagonally.

  Further, one end of a main body of an actuator 11 (corresponding to “elevation drive unit” in claims) which is driven to move back and forth in a linear direction is fixed to the elevating body 10, and the main body part The end of the rod 12 extending in the axial direction is fixed to the flat plate member 7. Therefore, with the operation of the actuator 11, the elevating body 10 is vertically moved up and down along the guide rod 8. As will be described later, the lower moving position of the lifting body 10 corresponds to the "lowering position" of the toilet seat 20, and the upper moving position of the lifting body 10 corresponds to the "raising position" of the toilet seat 20.

  Further, a strip-shaped base material 13 is fixed to the upper end of the lifting body 10 so as to extend in the front-back direction of the toilet body 31, and a handrail is provided on the upper surface side of the base material 13. An armrest 14 that also functions is attached.

  To the base material 13 fixed to the upper end of the lifting body 10, one end side of a tension support body 23 having a width dimension over substantially the entire length of the base material 13 is fixed, and the other end of the tension support body 23 is fixed. The side is fixed to the side of the toilet seat 20. Therefore, the toilet seat 20 is suspended and supported by the tension supports 23, 23 from the pair of left and right support legs 1.

  The tension support 23 is made of a mesh or sheet made of a flexible material, and its length can be adjusted to be increased or decreased. The length of the tension support 23 is arbitrarily set according to the required height difference between the armrest 14 and the toilet seat 20 and the spacing between the pair of left and right support legs 1 and 1.

  That is, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 6, the height difference between the toilet seat 20 and the armrest 14 is such that the user sitting on the toilet seat 20 can comfortably rest on the armrest 14 when the toilet seat 20 is set in the raised position. It is necessary to be set so that the arm can be stored in any posture. On the other hand, the length of the tension support body 23 also increases / decreases depending on the distance between the pair of left and right support leg portions 1 and 1 which are spaced apart with the toilet body 31 interposed therebetween. Therefore, the proper length of the tension support body 23 is set in consideration of both of them. As shown by the solid line in FIG. 6, when the toilet seat 20 is set in the lowered position and the toilet seat 20 is installed in contact with the upper end of the toilet body 31, the tension support body 23 is bent. Therefore, the weight due to the weight of the toilet seat 20 and the weight of the user does not act.

  The toilet seat device Z configured as described above has an operation mode in which the toilet seat 20 is set to the lowered position in a state where the telescopic columns 3 are contracted as shown in FIG. 4, and as shown in FIG. In addition to the operation mode in which the toilet seat 20 is set to the raised position in a state where the telescopic columns 3 and 3 are contracted, the telescopic columns 3 and 3 are extended to raise the support leg 1 as shown in FIG. In this state, the toilet seat 20 can be in an operating mode in which the toilet seat 20 is set in the lowered position (or the raised position).

  In the toilet seat device Z having such an operation form, in addition to the operational effects described in the above section "A: Overall configuration of the toilet seat device Z", the following unique operational effects are obtained.

  (1) The toilet seat 20 is configured to be movable between a lowered position in which it is held in contact with the upper end of the toilet body 31 and an elevated position in which it is held upwardly separated from the toilet body. Since the user sits on the toilet seat 20 in the raised position of the toilet seat 20 when the toilet is used, the user automatically moves to a position where the toilet seat 20 abuts on the upper end of the toilet body 31, and the toilet is ready for use. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to fold his / her legs to sit on the toilet seat 20 on the side of the toilet body 31 by his / her own physical strength, and after toilet, the toilet seat 20 automatically moves from the lowered position to the raised position. Therefore, it suffices to separate from the toilet seat 20 in this raised position, and the user does not need to extend his / her legs and stand up to separate from the toilet seat 20 by his / her own physical strength, and the labor required for the toilet is greatly reduced. The effect is particularly remarkable when the user is an elderly person or a physically handicapped person such as a physically handicapped person.

  (2) The toilet seat 20 is suspended and supported via the pair of left and right tension supports 23 with respect to the lifting body 10 that is vertically movable on each of the pair of left and right support legs 1. Tensile supports 23 are located on the left and right sides of the user seated on the toilet seat 20 in an inclined state, respectively, to enclose the user seated on the toilet seat 20 from both sides thereof, and when the toilet seat 20 descends or rises. The effect of holding the posture of the user is obtained and the safety thereof is secured.

  (2) Since the tension support body 23 is formed of a net-like body or a sheet-like body made of a flexible material, the toilet seat 20 has an original up-and-down moving surface (that is, along the moving direction of the up-and-down moving body 10). Since slight deviations in the left-right direction and the front-back direction with respect to the surface) are allowed, that is, flexibility is provided in the relative positional relationship between the user and the toilet seat 20, for example, the back of the toilet body 31 is If the standing position is too close to the toilet body 31 while waiting for seating on the toilet seat 20, the rising toilet seat 20 should hit the back side of the user's thigh. However, in this case, the toilet seat 20 is slightly displaced rearward to alleviate the impact, and it is prevented as much as possible that the user is pushed forward or the knee collapses and the hip is broken. Safety in flight operation is ensured. Further, when the user sits on the toilet seat 20, the buttocks of the user may shift to the left and right with respect to the toilet seat 20, but in this case, the toilet seat 20 swings in a direction to correct the deviation of the buttocks of the user. A proper seating position is ensured, and the user can always use it in an appropriate state with less physical burden.

  (3) Since the length of the tension support 23 in the pulling direction can be adjusted, for example, by adjusting the length of the tension support 23 to increase or decrease according to the condition of the user's physique, etc. The toilet seat 20 can be supported in an appropriate state at all times regardless of the difference, and comfort and safety are secured.

  (4) Since the moving direction of the elevating / lowering body 10 by the actuator 11 is set so as to tilt forward from the descending position to the ascending position, the toilet seat 20 is moved from the standing posture by the user. When the user sits on the toilet seat 20 by folding the butt, and the buttock moves when the user sitting on the toilet seat 20 extends and stands up, the buttock movement matches the user's natural posture changing operation. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the comfort at the time of urination.

  (5) Since the armrest 14 extending in the front-rear direction of the toilet seat 10 is provided on the upper end side of the elevator 10 provided on each of the pair of left and right support legs 1, this armrest corresponds to the lifting operation of the toilet seat. Then, it moves up and down as a unit and functions as a handrail for maintaining the posture of the user sitting on the toilet seat, thus ensuring safety when using the toilet seat.

  (6) Since the spacing between the pair of support legs 1 can be adjusted, the toilet seat device Z can be easily and accurately adjusted by adjusting the spacing, for example, with respect to various toilet body bodies 31 having different shapes and sizes. It can be applied and the versatility of the toilet seat device Z is improved.

  (7) Since the height of the support leg 1 can be adjusted to be increased or decreased, for example, the toilet seat device Z can be easily and accurately applied to various toilet body bodies 31 having different height dimensions. The versatility of the toilet seat device Z is improved.
