Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application: The present invention relates to a toilet seat cleaning device that is particularly suitably installed in Western-style flush toilets that require a fee.

Conventional technology: For paid toilets equipped with Western-style flush toilets, it is especially important to take care not to cause discomfort to users, and for the toilet seats, a method of using disposable cover paper or a purification method by flushing is adopted. be done.

Problems the invention aims to solve: The method of purifying the toilet seat by flushing is superior to the method of using disposable paper covers because the seat is kept in a clean state before use, but it is not currently in practical use. The following operations are performed: the operation of raising the toilet seat, the operation of carrying the toilet seat into the back room of the toilet room, the operation of washing the toilet seat while rotating it, the operation of drying the toilet seat after washing, and the operation of returning the toilet seat to its normal state. The mechanism for sequentially performing these steps is quite complex.

Means for solving the problem: In this proposal, a toilet seat consisting of a pair of left and right cylindrical bodies is rotatably supported by the toilet bowl body, and a water supply device is installed to supply cleansing water to the space below the toilet seat. A scraper or rotating brush that removes adhering foreign matter as the toilet seat rotates is placed in the space, and this space is communicated with the flushing water flow space in the toilet bowl body to remove adhering foreign matter by acting on the peripheral surface of the toilet seat. A drainer for scraping off water and a drying device for drying the peripheral surface of the toilet seat after the water has been drained, and a dryer for seating a user on the toilet seat.
The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a control device that controls the water supply device, drying device, and toilet seat rotating device based on a signal issued upon detection of the toilet seat being unseated.

For cleaning the toilet seat, use “high tank → toilet bowl → drain pipe”
A part of the washing water flowing under this process can be diverted and used. Additionally, a disinfectant may be added to the cleaning water introduced into the space below the toilet seat, or a disinfectant may be applied to the peripheral surface of the toilet seat after cleaning, prior to drying the peripheral surface. I can do it.

Function: The toilet seat is rotated with its lower part immersed in cleaning water, purified by the cooperation of the cleaning water and the scraper or rotating brush, and then dried by the drying device and returned to the state ready for next use. .
The flushing water that soaks the bottom of the toilet seat is constantly renewed as it flows to the flushing water bed in the toilet bowl. When the water supply device stops, the space under the toilet seat that houses the scraper or rotating brush returns to an empty state.

Embodiment: The figure shows a toilet seat cleaning device according to the present invention, which is equipped with a rotating brush.

In Figures 1 and 2, 1 is the toilet bowl body;
2 is a toilet seat consisting of a pair of cylindrical bodies; 3 is a water supply valve in the water supply device; 4 is a motor that drives the toilet seat 2 and the rotating brush 5; 6 is a blower in the drying device; 7
is a wind guide duct, and 8 is a control device.

The cleaning portion of the toilet seat 2 is shown enlarged in FIG. As shown in this figure, the toilet seat 2 is rotatably received by seats 9, 9' on the toilet main body 1. The rotating brush 5 described above is provided in a space 10 below the toilet seat 2. This space 10 is connected to a flushing water flow space 12 in the toilet main body 1 via openings 11 and 11'.

When the water supply valve 3 shown in FIG. 1 is opened, the washing water passes through the space 10, the openings 11, 11, and the above-mentioned space 12, and reaches a drain port (not shown).

The motor 4 that drives the water supply device 3, the blower 6, the toilet seat 2, and the rotary brush 5 is controlled by a control device 8 that operates upon receipt of a signal from a seat/seating detection switch 13 that detects whether a user is sitting or leaving the seat.

Purification of the toilet seat 5 is achieved by the action of the constantly renewed washing water and the rotating brush 5, as well as by the drainer 14 and the blower 6.
carried out under the action of drying air supplied by
When the set time (e.g. 10 seconds) has elapsed, the toilet seat 2
returns to a quiescent state, waiting for further use.

Effects of the invention: This invention enables the toilet seat to be cleaned in a short time while using a relatively small amount of flushing water. Furthermore, the device according to the present invention is constructed under a simple and coherent mechanism, so there is very little room for failure, and the washing water used for purification can be disposed of conveniently.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A toilet seat consisting of a pair of left and right cylindrical bodies is rotatably supported by the toilet bowl body, and a water supply device is installed to supply cleansing water to the space below the toilet seat to remove foreign matter adhering to the toilet seat as the toilet seat rotates. A scraper or a rotating brush is arranged in the above space, and the space is communicated with the flushing water flow space in the toilet main body, and the water is removed by acting on the peripheral surface of the toilet seat to scrape off the adhering water. It is characterized by being provided with a drying device that dries the peripheral surface, and a control device that controls the water supply device, the drying device, and the toilet seat rotating device based on a signal issued by detecting when a user sits on or leaves the toilet seat. A toilet seat purification device for Western-style flush toilets.
