Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet device equipped with a sanitary washing device for local cleaning, which has a lifting toilet seat which can be used by moving the toilet seat up and down.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the field of flush toilets, those equipped with a sanitary washing device for local washing tend to increase rapidly in recent years, and hygiene orientation is becoming established.

This sanitary washing device has various functions mainly for local washing, and its basic function is to spray washing water from the nozzle toward the local portion for washing, and then supply hot air. It is to dry. With such a function, it is possible to perform hygienic processing from washing to drying without bothering humans.

The sanitary washing device is generally installed with its casing fixed to the toilet body, and the toilet seat for a person to sit on is opened and closed by a hinge shaft on the front surface thereof.

However, when the user sits on the toilet seat or stands up, he / she takes a middle waist posture. For this reason,
When used by an elderly person or a physically handicapped person, the person who has a weak waist or leg or has a disability is likely to feel pain when using the toilet seat.

[0006] With respect to such a problem, there has already been proposed a device in which a toilet seat can be moved up and down so that a person does not have to take a middle waist posture. This is, for example, in JP-A-6
As described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-275422 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-24213, instead of fixing the casing accommodating the entire functional portion of the sanitary washing device to the toilet body,
The casing is moved up and down by an elevator that uses an electric motor or the like as a drive source.

By moving the casing up and down in this way, the height of the toilet seat integrated with the casing also changes, and if the height is set to an appropriate height when sitting on or standing up on the toilet seat, You don't have to take a posture.

[0008]

However, since the casing itself of the sanitary washing device is moved up and down, the cord for electric wiring to the functional parts inside the sanitary washing device, the pipe for sending the washing water, etc. are all of the casing. It needs to be adapted to the movement. For example, a cord may be coiled into a telescopic type or have an extra length, or the pipe may be movable up and down because rubber hoses cannot be used on the primary side of the device due to official standards. Is.

In the case where the cord is telescopic or has an extra length as described above, there is a high possibility that the cord will be caught between the toilet body and the casing when the casing is lowered, and there is a risk of accident such as breakage of the cord or electric leakage. is there. Further, even if the pipe can be moved up and down, there is a concern that water leakage will occur.

Further, when the casing itself is moved up and down, the weight of the functional parts inside the casing becomes a load of the drive mechanism, so that it is necessary to increase the output of the drive mechanism and the space occupied by the drive mechanism is expanded. become. Therefore, if it is a facility such as a hospital, there is no obstacle in newly installing it, but there are still some problems when it is used for an existing toilet as a general household.

Further, if a person sits up with the toilet seat raised, or while the toilet seat is raised again after the toilet has been used and the person leaves the toilet seat, for example, if the operator inadvertently presses the washing switch on the operating portion of the casing, the washing water may be bathed. You will get the floor wet.
In other words, unless the toilet seat is in a position where it can be sprayed with water only when the toilet seat is in a position over the toilet body, it is necessary for the elderly and the physically handicapped to wash the cleaning water unnecessarily due to erroneous operation. Will end up.

On the other hand, when a child or a healthy person is used in a common household, it can be used as usual without moving the toilet seat upward, and the vertical movement of the toilet seat may be unnecessary. For this reason, for example, if the person who has used the toilet seat keeps the toilet seat raised, it may take time and effort to lower the toilet seat to the toilet side, and the usability may worsen. On the contrary, when the toilet seat covers the toilet body and the person who intends to use the toilet seat raises the toilet seat and wants to sit down, similarly, the user waits until the toilet seat rises.

As described above, in the case of raising and lowering the toilet seat integrated with the casing, the movement of the body when sitting on or standing up on the toilet seat becomes easier, but in the case where it is shared by the elderly and children for home use. Then, there are obstacles in terms of usability. In addition, the equipment itself will be large, making it difficult to accommodate existing toilets, and the code and hose for plumbing will also hang down, so it is easy to put your hands and legs on it and also the appearance. There is a problem.

A problem to be solved in the present invention is to provide a toilet bowl device having a vertically movable toilet seat which enables a person who cannot take a middle waist posture to easily sit and stand up and is easy to use without erroneous operation. Especially.

[0015]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a toilet body is equipped with a sanitary washing device for local washing including a washing water supply system and a nozzle device for jetting the washing water toward a local portion. It is characterized in that the toilet seat to be covered with is disposed separately from the sanitary washing device so that it can be moved up and down independently.

It is also possible to provide a control system that enables the functional parts of the sanitary washing device to operate only when the toilet seat is placed on the upper surface of the toilet body or while the toilet seat is within a certain range from the upper surface.

[0017]

[Function] By moving only the toilet seat up and down separately from the sanitary washing device for local cleaning provided in the toilet body, and setting it at a height convenient for the user, you can sit on the toilet seat or stand up without taking a middle waist posture. can do.

Further, when the toilet seat is at a high position, the functional part of the sanitary washing device is controlled so that it can be operated only when the toilet seat is lowered and within the height range suitable for the toilet. It is also possible to prevent the washing water from the sanitary washing device from hitting a person's leg or splashing on the floor even if the operation is mistaken.

[0019]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a toilet device having a lifting type toilet seat according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view when the toilet seat is raised.

In the figure, a casing 2 having a built-in local cleaning function is fixed to the upper surface on the back side of the toilet body 1. Inside the casing 2, a nozzle device for local cleaning, a hot water tank and valves for supplying hot water for cleaning to the nozzle device, and a drying after cleaning, as in the conventionally used sanitary cleaning device. A hot air fan etc. is stored for. These devices are operated not only by the operation panel 2a provided on the left side of the casing 2 but also by the remote controller 2b hung on the wall of the toilet.

On the left and right sides of the toilet body 1, a pair of posts 4 are provided for supporting the toilet seat 3 in a posture of covering the ball portion so that the toilet seat 3 can be moved up and down. These posts 4 are hollow bodies whose lower ends are fixed to the floor and are erected in a substantially vertical posture. Then, a pipe-shaped frame 5 is incorporated in each of the posts 4 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. A backrest 6b is connected to the upper end of the frame 5, and two armrests 6 projecting toward the front are connected by a joint 6a.
The armrest 6 is connected to the joint 6a by a joint 6c, and can be flipped upward so as not to get in the way when moving from a wheelchair or used by a healthy person.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the entire toilet equipment, and FIG. 4 is a right side view thereof.

The post 4 stands up at a position close to the front surface of the casing 2, and the toilet seat 3 has a hinge portion 3a on a pair of frames 5 which can move up and down with respect to these posts 4.
Are connected by. A drive unit 7 for raising and lowering the toilet seat 3 together with the frame 5 is provided integrally with the frame 5 on the right side when viewed from the front. This drive unit 7
An operation switch 6d is provided at the tip of the armrest 6 for the operation of raising, lowering and stopping the toilet seat 3 by.

The tip of the armrest 6 is of an adapter type so that the operation switch 6d can be replaced with the operation switch 6d and the operation switch 6d can be attached to either the left or right side. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a power cord 7g is wired between the casing 2 and the drive unit 7.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of the drive unit 7 and the connecting structure from the frame 5 to the toilet seat 3, and FIG. 6 is a side view of the interior of the drive unit 7 as viewed from the right side.

A main shaft 5a is provided between the two hollow frames 5.
, And one end thereof is inserted into the drive unit 7. The left end of the main shaft 5a is the frame 5 on the left side.
The right end side is supported by a bearing 5b provided at the boundary between the right frame 5 and the drive unit 7. Further, the pinion 5c is fixed to the main shaft 5a at a portion included in the frame 5, and the drive unit 7
The driven gear 5d is attached to the inserted portion.

Inside the drive unit 7, an electric motor 7a having a worm 7b attached to an output shaft is used as a drive source, and a worm wheel 7d and a spur gear 7e provided on an intermediate shaft 7c.
Equipped with. The spur gear 7e is a driven gear 5d of the main shaft 5a.
The main shaft 5a and the pinion 5c integrated with the main shaft 5a rotate by engaging with the electric motor 7a.

An auxiliary gear 7f is attached to the intermediate shaft 7c, and a level detection gear 8 supported by a support shaft 8a and meshing with the auxiliary gear 7f is incorporated. A micro switch 8b is provided in the vicinity of the level detection gear 8 and the toilet seat 3 is determined by the rotation angle of the level detection gear 8.
A system that can detect the top dead center and the bottom dead center will be provided.

A rack 4a, which is inserted into the frame 5, is connected to the post 4 so that its teeth are vertically aligned.
The rack 4a is fixed by inserting its lower end into the post 4, and has a length such that the upper end of the rack 4a is slightly below the backrest 6b when the frame 5 is lowered most. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the rack 4a is placed in the frame 5.
When it is inserted, this meshes with the pinion 5c of the main shaft 5a to form a pinion-rack mechanism. In addition, rack 4
A plurality of guides 4b that abut the inner peripheral wall of the frame 5 are provided in a, and the guides 4b stabilize the attitude of the frame 5 when sliding.

The main shaft 5 laid between the left and right frames 5
As shown in FIG. 5, a sleeve 5e is provided around a, and both ends thereof are connected to the frame 5. Then, the hinge portion 3a at the base end portion of the toilet seat 3 is rotatably attached around the sleeve 5e. As a result, the sleeve 5e remains stationary even if the main shaft 5a rotates.
The posture can be maintained regardless of the rotation and the upper and lower sides can be opened and closed like a normal toilet seat.

Further, the left and right frames 5 are provided with stoppers 5f for receiving the lower surface of the toilet seat 3 and restraining its posture. As shown in FIG. 7, the stopper 5f has a receiving surface 5g whose upper surface is inclined so that the front side is downward.
Then, when the frame 5 rises together with the toilet seat 3,
The receiving surface 5g supports the lower surface of the toilet seat 3, and holds the toilet seat 3 in a posture in which the front side thereof is inclined downward.

With the above structure, as shown in FIG.
Is on the toilet body 1, the operation switch 6d
When the drive unit 7 is operated by moving so as to tilt upward, the pinion 5c rotates the rack 4a in a direction in which it moves upward. As a result, with respect to the rack 4a connected and fixed to the post 4, the rotation of the pinion 5c moves the frame 5 whose lower end is inserted into the post 4 upward. Therefore, the toilet seat 3 integrated with the frame 5 also moves upward and begins to separate from the upper surface of the toilet body 1.
Then, as shown in FIG. 7, when the toilet seat 3 is placed on the toilet body 1, the stopper 5f located at a position lower than the level of the toilet seat 3 receives the lower surface of the toilet seat 3, and the seat 5g is inclined due to the inclination of the receiving surface 5g. Will be raised as a downward attitude.

When the frame 5 moves upward, the toilet seat 3 is positioned above the toilet body 1 as shown in FIG.
By the receiving surface 5g of, the posture is inclined by about 20 degrees.

Since the toilet seat 3 can be set at a high position in this way, a person who cannot take a middle waist posture can sit on the toilet seat 3 with his / her back. Then, after sitting, the arm is placed on the armrest 6 and the operation switch 6d provided at the tip of the armrest 6 is tilted downward.
Begins to fall slowly. Therefore, in the end, the toilet seat 3
Can be placed on the toilet body 1 as shown in FIG. 1, and the posture of the toilet can be taken.

After the toilet is cleaned and dried by a sanitary washing device, and the drive unit 7 is operated again by operating the operation switch 6d, the frame of the frame is generated by the mechanism of the pinion 5c and the rack 4a as described above. 5 rises, and the toilet seat 3 is set at the height shown in FIG. Therefore, the person sitting on the toilet seat 3 can stand up and can use it up to the end without taking the middle waist posture at all.

When the toilet seat 3 is moved up and down and the hand is released from the operation switch 6d, the operation switch 6d returns to the neutral position and the drive unit 7 stops its driving. Therefore, the toilet seat 3 can be stopped at an arbitrary height by stopping the operation of the operation switch 6d during the vertical movement.

Here, the operation of the drive unit 7 for raising and lowering the toilet seat 3 and the operation of the functional portions such as local cleaning and drying provided in the casing 2 are controlled in association with each other.

As one of them, the functional part of the sanitary washing device can be operated only when the toilet seat 3 is lowered toward the toilet body 1 and a person is seated. This is because even if the operation panel 2a or the remote controller 2b is operated during the period when the person sits at the position where the toilet seat 3 is raised and is descending to the toilet body 1 side, or vice versa, the cleaning is performed. It is to prevent functional parts such as drying and drying from operating. By such control, when the user is not in the position of local cleaning, even if the operation panel 2a or the remote controller 2b is accidentally operated, the user will not be exposed to cleaning water or the like and will wet clothes or legs. Is prevented.

Further, during a period in which a person sits on the toilet seat 3 and uses the cleaning and drying function of the sanitary washing device, even if the operation switch 6d of the drive unit 7 is operated, the drive unit 7 is operated.
Is not activated. The purpose of this is to prevent the toilet seat 3 from moving upward even if the operation switch 6d is accidentally pressed during the washing by the sanitary washing device, and to prevent the clothes and legs from getting wet as in the above. It is a thing.

As described above, the level of the toilet seat 3 is freely changed from a state in which the toilet seat 3 is placed on the toilet body 1 to a certain predetermined height, instead of the control of not raising the toilet seat 3 at all. You may control so that it can do. In this case, there is an advantage that the portion of the sanitary washing device where the washing water from the nozzle device is bathed can be changed and the person does not have to change the posture while sitting on the toilet seat 3.

When the toilet seat 3 is raised and lowered and the functional parts of the sanitary washing device are controlled as described above, the level detection gear 8 and the micro switch 8b detect whether the toilet seat 3 is mounted on the toilet body 1. That is, the rotation of the intermediate shaft 7c is changed by the operation of the electric motor 7a.
It is transmitted from f to the level detection gear 8, and the intermediate shaft 7c
Since the main shaft 5a is driven to rotate, the level of the toilet seat 3 can be known by detecting the rotation angle of the level detecting gear 8. Therefore, by inputting the signal from the micro switch 8b to the controller including the control of the sanitary washing device, the operation of the drive unit 7 and the sanitary washing device described above can be associated and controlled.

In the operation of the sanitary washing device, the controller determines the operating state of washing and drying, and at least when the washing operation is performed (for example, the washing switch is pressed), the operation switch 6d. Even if a signal is input from the toilet seat 3, the toilet seat 3 can be prevented from moving during cleaning by not operating the electric motor 7a.

As other means for detecting the position of the toilet seat 3, a seating sensor for detecting pressure when the toilet seat 3 is placed on the toilet body 1 and a person sits, and a position of the pinion 5c with respect to the rack 4a are used. An optical sensor for detection or a limit switch can be used.

Further, when the toilet seat 3 is lifted up and seated on it, such as an elderly person or a physically handicapped person, the toilet seat 3 remains moved up as shown in FIG. 2 after use. For this reason, when children or healthy people who do not need to raise the toilet seat 3 use it,
The toilet seat 3 will be once lowered, which will affect the usability.

On the other hand, when the toilet seat 3 is in the raised position, after it is detected that no person is sitting, the drive unit 7 is operated to automatically lower the toilet seat 3 onto the toilet body 1. By doing so, such a problem is solved.
For example, a pressure sensor for detecting that a person is sitting is built in the toilet seat 3, a signal from this pressure sensor is input to the controller, and a certain period of time elapses after the seating of the person is no longer detected. After a lapse of time, the drive unit 7 lowers the toilet seat 3 onto the toilet body 1. In this way, the person who is using the toilet seat 3 will lower it when it is completely separated from the toilet seat 3, so that only the toilet seat 3 will descend after the person has stood up and can be used safely.

Further, instead of using a pressure-sensitive sensor or the like, a remote controller is installed near the outside entrance of the toilet, and whether the toilet seat 3 is in the raised position or is mounted on the toilet body 1. It is also possible to provide the display means of and to reset the toilet seat 3 according to this display. In this case,
When the toilet seat 3 is in the raised position and the person who wants to use it does not need to have this height, if the toilet seat 3 is lowered to the toilet body 1 side in advance by the remote controller, the person will wait until the toilet seat 3 is lowered. The waiting time is shortened. On the contrary, even when the toilet seat 3 is placed on the toilet body 1 and the person who intends to use it raises the toilet seat 3 and sits down, if the drive unit 7 is operated by the remote controller, the time to wait until the toilet seat 3 rises. Also becomes shorter.

FIG. 8 is a schematic front view showing another embodiment, and FIG.
Is a schematic plan view thereof.

A casing 2 of a sanitary washing device similar to that shown in the previous example is fixed to the toilet body 1, and a toilet seat 3 is attached to a pole 9 standing in the toilet.

As shown in FIG. 9, the pole 9 is located on the left side of the toilet body 1 when viewed from the front, and when the toilet seat 3 is in a position to cover the toilet body 1, the connecting seat 3c having a size including the ball 9 is provided. Is provided by protruding to the left. The connecting seat 3c has a connecting hole 3d through which the pole 9 penetrates, and the lower surface of the connecting hole 3d
A drive unit 10 for raising and lowering drive along the axis and rotating drive around the axis is provided.

Although not shown in detail, the drive unit 10 includes the pinion-rack mechanism described in the above example for raising and lowering drive, and a friction roller or the like that rolls on the outer peripheral surface of the pole 9 for rotating drive. It shall be equipped with a rotation mechanism. Then, the pinion-rack mechanism and the rotating mechanism independently operate to allow the toilet seat 3 to move up and down and to pivot around the pole 9. The drive unit 10 is operated by operating means such as a remote controller as in the previous example.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 (a), the toilet seat 3 is at a position retracted to the left with respect to the toilet body 1, and the toilet seat 3 is higher than the upper end of the toilet body 1. When using a toilet bowl, the rotating mechanism of the drive unit 10 is first operated by the remote controller, and the toilet seat 3 is swung around the pole 9 and fed out to the toilet body 1 side as shown in FIG. 8B. Then, after the toilet seat 3 is positioned so as to cover the toilet body 1 exactly, the rotation mechanism is stopped. It should be noted that for this positioning, the driving unit 10 itself may be provided with a detecting means or other sensors such as an optical system may be used.

After the positioning is completed, the drive system is automatically switched to the pinion-rack mechanism, and the toilet seat 3 is mounted on the toilet body 1 from the state of FIG. 8B as shown in FIG. 8C. Perform the operation to put on. A stopper 1a for receiving the rear end portion of the toilet seat 3 is provided on the upper surface of the toilet body 1, and the toilet seat 3 is restrained by the stopper 1a and the pole 9 to stabilize the toilet seat 1 on the toilet body 1.

By making the toilet seat 3 turnable and movable up and down by using the pole 9 as described above, when the toilet seat 3 is positioned above the toilet body 1, the user can sit and stand up. Become. Then, the user can sit on the toilet body 1 by lowering the toilet seat 3 and can easily stand up by raising the toilet seat 3 after using the toilet.

FIG. 10 is a schematic view showing still another example of the drive mechanism for raising and lowering and turning the toilet seat 3 with respect to the pole 9.

The pole 9 is rotatably attached to a base 9a fixed to the floor, and is driven by a drive motor 9b and a gear train 9c so as to be rotatable in the forward and reverse directions. A cylindrical rack 9d is formed on the entire outer peripheral surface of the ball 9 on the upper end side.

By inserting the pole 9 into the connecting hole 3d of the toilet seat 3, the toilet seat 3 is connected so as to be movable in the axial direction of the pole 9 and rotatable about the axis. And toilet seat 3
Also, a drive motor 3e is provided and a pinion 3f is rotatably driven by its output shaft. This pinion 3f
As shown in FIG. 11, its tooth surface is formed into a curved surface conforming to the outer diameter of the cylindrical rack 9d so that it can be meshed with the cylindrical rack 9d and the pinion 3f can roll around the cylindrical rack 9d.

With such a mechanism, when the drive motor 9b is operated, the pole 9 rotates, and the toilet seat 3 restrained by the pole 9 by the engagement of the cylindrical rack 9d and the pinion 3f is integrated with the pole 9. Rotate. Also,
When the drive motor 9b provided on the toilet seat 3 side is operated, the pinion 3f rotates and moves up and down along the cylindrical rack 9d, so that the height of the toilet seat 3 can be changed.

As described in the previous embodiment, it is the same as using the remote controller to raise the toilet seat 3 in advance or to put it on the toilet body 1 for convenience. Also, when using the sanitary washing device,
The same applies to the case where the drive motors 3e and 9b are not operated and the toilet seat 3 is maintained at a fixed position even if the operation is mistaken.

[0059]

According to the present invention, the toilet seat is a separate body from the sanitary washing device for local cleaning provided in the toilet body, and only this toilet seat can be moved up and down, so that the user can sit on the toilet seat. It allows you to sit up and stand up comfortably from now on, and is ideally suited for the elderly and disabled. And since only the toilet seat is raised and lowered, compared to the conventional case where the sanitary washing device itself is moved,
The structure is simple and the driving force for lifting is small.
Therefore, the device does not increase in size, can be used for general household use without any problems, and can be easily attached to an existing toilet device.

Furthermore, since the sanitary washing device operates its functional parts only when the toilet seat is within the range suitable for human toilet with respect to the toilet body, the sanitary washing device is erroneously operated at a high position of the toilet seat. However, it can be used safely without the washing water hitting the person's legs etc. or the floor getting wet.
