Further, the toilet lid 110 is attached to the main body 120 so as to sandwich the side surface of the main body 120 (the detailed sandwiching structure will be described later).

FIG. 3 is a left side view of the toilet lid 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention in an open state.
The toilet lid 110 is attached to the main body 120 at approximately the center in the front-rear direction of the main body 120.
That is, the toilet lid 110 is attached to the main body 120 in front of the rear end portion of the main body 120.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG.
As described above, the toilet lid 110 is attached to the main body 120 so as to sandwich the side surface of the main body 120.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of part B in FIG.
From the left side surface of the main body 120, a cylindrical rotating shaft 121 projects from the main body 120 toward the left.
Further, on the right side surface of the main body 120, an opening / closing unit 130 having an opening / closing unit rotating shaft 131 and electrically opening / closing the toilet lid 110 is provided in the main body 120.
The central axis of the opening / closing unit rotating shaft 131 coincides with the central axis of the rotating shaft 121 provided on the left side of the main body 120.

The toilet lid 110 has a rotation shaft mounting portion 113 projecting inward (that is, to the right) from the left side plate 112 and an inward (that is, left) from the right side plate 112. It also has a protruding opening / closing unit rotating shaft mounting portion 114.

As shown in FIG. 7, which will be described later, the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 has a rotating shaft insertion hole 113a formed by a cylindrical rotating shaft insertion hole outer wall 113b.
The center of the rotating shaft insertion hole 113a coincides with the central axis of the rotating shaft 121.

As shown in FIG. 6, which will be described later, the opening / closing unit rotation shaft mounting portion 114 has an opening / closing unit rotation shaft insertion hole 114a formed by a cylindrical opening / closing unit rotation shaft insertion hole outer wall 114b.
The center of the opening / closing unit rotation shaft insertion hole 114a coincides with the central axis of the opening / closing unit rotation shaft 131.

In the toilet lid 110, the end portion 121a of the rotating shaft 121 is inserted into the rotating shaft insertion hole 113a, which is an insertion hole provided in the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 of the toilet lid 110, and the opening / closing unit rotating shaft 131 is used for stool. By being inserted into the opening / closing unit rotating shaft insertion hole 114a provided in the opening / closing unit rotating shaft mounting portion 114 of the lid 110, the lid 110 is attached to the main body 120 so as to sandwich the side surface of the main body 120.

Subsequently, the opening angle of the toilet lid 110 will be described with reference to FIG. 6, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG.
Part (a) in FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of part E in FIG.
The opening degree regulating portion 122 protruding from the main body 120 is in contact with the protrusion 114c protruding downward from the opening / closing unit rotating shaft mounting portion 114.
As a result, the opening angle θ of the stool lid 110 is defined, and the stool lid 110 is prevented from falling backward more than necessary.
In the present embodiment, the opening angle θ of the toilet lid in the state where the opening degree regulating portion 122 is engaged with the protrusion 114c and the toilet lid 110 is open (hereinafter, referred to as “the state in which the toilet lid 110 is opened”). Is approximately 106 degrees, but the opening angle θ of the toilet lid is not limited to this angle.

Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 7, a detailed structure in the vicinity of the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 in a state where the toilet lid 110 is opened will be described.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure around the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 of the toilet lid 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The upper surface plate 111 is further connected to the side surface plate 112 by a reinforcing member 115 that increases the bending strength of the toilet lid 110 above the rotating shaft mounting portion 113.

The reinforcing member 115 is integrated above the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 with the outer circumference of the rotating shaft insertion hole outer wall 113b of the rotating shaft mounting portion 113.
As a result, when the user grasps the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 to remove the toilet lid 110 from the main body 120 and spreads the side plate 112 of the toilet lid 110 in the axial direction (that is, outward) of the rotating shaft 121, the upper part The outward bending of the side plate 112 with the boundary between the face plate 111 and the side plate 112 as a fulcrum is suppressed.

Further, since the upper surface plate 111 is connected to the side surface plate 112 by the reinforcing member 115, the user grasps the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 to remove the toilet lid 110 from the main body 120 and outside the rotating shaft 121. When the side plate 112 of the toilet lid 110 is spread toward the side, the stress concentration at the boundary between the top plate 111 and the side plate 112 is relaxed as compared with the toilet lid 110 without the reinforcing member 115, so that the toilet lid 110 is removed from the main body 120. Damage to the toilet lid 110 when it is removed can be suppressed.

Note that FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing another structure around the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 of the toilet lid 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the reinforcing member 115 rotates via the connecting member 117. It may be integrated with the moving shaft mounting portion 113.

Next, returning to FIG. 7, the reinforcing member 115 will be described in more detail.
Further, the reinforcing member 115 connected to the upper surface plate 111 is connected to the upper surface plate 111 from one end (front end 112a) of the side surface plate 112 in the front-rear direction above the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 in the state where the toilet lid 110 is opened. It is connected to the side plate 112 up to the other end (rear end 112b).
That is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the reinforcing member 115 is flush with the upper surface portion 123 of the main body, which is a part of the outer shell of the main body 120, in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction in the state where the toilet lid 110 is opened. There is.
In other words, the reinforcing member 115, which is a separate member, and the upper surface portion 123 of the main body form one virtual curved surface.
As a result, dust is less likely to collect around the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 when the toilet lid 110 is open.

Further, the front end 112a side of the side plate 112 of the reinforcing member 115 is connected to the lower end 112c of the side plate 112 by a decorative member 116.

Then, as shown in FIG. 9, which is a side sectional view of the toilet lid 110 in a closed state, the decorative member 116 faces the front surface portion 124 of the main body via the gap A, and is curved with substantially the same curvature. ..
Since the decorative member 116 and the main body front surface portion 124 are curved with substantially the same curvature, the gap A between the decorative member 116 and the main body front surface portion 124 is formed with substantially the same width.

The gap A may be such that it does not come into contact with the front surface portion 124 of the main body when the toilet lid 110 rotates.
By narrowing the gap A as much as possible in this way, the front portion and the rear portion of the sanitary cleaning device 100 on which the toilet seat is arranged are more reliably separated.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the space between the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 and the reinforcing member 115 and the decorative member 116 is not filled with resin, but the reinforcing member 115 and the decorative member 115 are made in consideration of the characteristics of resin molding. It is connected by a connecting member 117 having a thickness substantially equal to that of the member 116 and the outer wall 113b of the rotating shaft insertion hole.
As a result, the space between the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 and the reinforcing member 115 is subdivided into a plurality of spaces V.
It should be noted that this space V is a space to which heat convection is unlikely to occur inside.

Although the detailed structure near the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 has been described above, the opening / closing unit rotating shaft mounting portion 114 may have the same structure.

That is, on the right side of the toilet lid 110, the upper surface plate 111 and the side plate 112 are also connected to the reinforcing member 115 that increases the bending strength of the toilet lid 110, and the reinforcing member 115 is connected to the opening / closing unit rotating shaft mounting portion 114. It may be integrated.

Further, the reinforcing member 115 connected to the upper surface plate 111 is connected to the upper surface plate 111 from one end (front end) in the front-rear direction of the side plate 112 above the opening / closing unit rotation shaft mounting portion 114 in a state where the toilet lid 110 is opened. It may be connected to the side plate 112 up to the other end (rear end) to which it is connected.

Further, one end (front end 112a) side of the side plate 112 of the reinforcing member 115 may be connected to the lower end 112c of the side plate 112 by a decorative member 116 with the toilet lid 110 open.

Further, a space V formed between the opening / closing unit rotating shaft mounting portion 114, the reinforcing member 115, and the decorative member 116 connects the opening / closing unit rotating shaft mounting portion 114 with the reinforcing member 115 and the decorative member 116. It may be partitioned by a connecting member 117.

The effect of the detailed structure near the rotating shaft mounting portion 114 of the opening / closing unit is the same as the effect of the detailed structure near the rotating shaft mounting portion 113, and the effect of the rotating shaft mounting portion 113. It can be further enhanced.

In the sanitary cleaning device 100 of the present embodiment thus obtained, the reinforcing member 115 for increasing the bending strength of the toilet lid 110 is integrated with the rotating shaft mounting portion 113, so that the user can use the toilet lid. When the side plate 112 of the toilet lid 110 is spread in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 121 by grasping the rotation shaft mounting portion 113 in order to remove the 110 from the main body 120, the boundary portion between the top plate 111 and the side plate 112 is used as a fulcrum. Since the bending of the side plate 112 to the outside of the rotating shaft 121 is suppressed, the force applied to the toilet lid 110 by the user is concentrated in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 121, and the toilet lid 110 can be easily operated. The lid 110 can be removed from the main body 120.

Further, the reinforcing member 115 connected to the upper surface plate 111 is connected to the upper surface plate 111 from one end (front end 112a) of the side surface plate 112 in the front-rear direction above the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 in the state where the toilet lid 110 is opened. By connecting the side plate 112 to the other end (rear end 112b), the bending strength of the toilet lid 110 can be further improved.

Further, since the reinforcing member 115 is flush with the upper surface portion 123 of the main body, which is the outer shell of the main body 120, when the toilet lid 110 is opened, the sanitary cleaning device 100 makes it easy to clean the boundary between the toilet lid 110 and the main body 120. In addition to being able to provide the above, since dust is less likely to collect around the rotating shaft mounting portion 113 when the toilet lid 110 is open, the main body and the rotating shaft mounting portion have a complicated shape. Compared with a sanitary cleaning device whose appearance is discontinuous, the labor for cleaning can be reduced.

Further, one end (front end 112a) side of the side plate 112 of the reinforcing member 115 is connected to the lower end 112c of the side plate 112 by the decorative member 116 in the state where the toilet lid 110 is opened, so that the toilet lid 110 is closed. In order to more reliably separate the front part and the rear part of the sanitary cleaning device 100 on which the toilet seat, which is a heated toilet seat, is arranged, it becomes difficult for the heat generated by the toilet seat to escape to the outside, and the heat is suppressed from being dissipated. , The heat retention performance of the toilet lid 110 can be improved.

Further, the space V formed between the rotating shaft mounting portion 113, the reinforcing member 115, and the decorative member 116 is formed by the connecting member 117 that connects the rotating shaft mounting portion 113, the reinforcing member 115, and the decorative member 116. Since the space V is subdivided by the connecting member 117 to the extent that heat convection is unlikely to occur due to the partition, heat is generated from the gap in the front-rear direction between the toilet lid 110 and the main body 120 when the toilet lid 110 is closed. It is possible to suppress the dissipation and further improve the heat retention performance of the toilet lid 110.
