Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet seat device provided with a vibration generating means for promoting blood circulation and a vibration control means for giving a comfortable vibration to a toilet seat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, sanitary washing toilet seats have been generally known as toilet seats having additional functions.

The structure will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a toilet seat device mounted on a toilet bowl 2, to which a main body 3 having an electric control circuit (not shown) built therein, a toilet seat 4, and a toilet lid 5 which can be opened and closed are attached. A heater 7 for heating is provided inside the toilet seat 4 as shown in FIG. 5, and the heater 7 is a lead wire (not shown).
The toilet seat 3 is connected to an electric control circuit by means of the operation switch 6 provided on the main body 3 to heat the toilet seat 3 to the user's favorite temperature.

[0004]

However, in the conventional toilet seat device, a local force acts on the human buttocks when seated,
There was a problem that I got tired when I was sitting for a long time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The first object of the present invention is to provide a toilet seat device which promotes blood circulation by vibration and has less fatigue even when sitting for a long time.

A second object is to provide a toilet seat device capable of adjusting the vibration amount according to the tastes of a plurality of users.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned first object, the present invention has a toilet seat and a vibration generating means by a vibrator provided on the toilet seat, and a vibration generated from the vibration generating means. Is configured to be transmitted to the human body when seated.

In order to achieve the second object, the present invention is capable of adjusting the vibration amount of the vibration generating means and stopping the vibration generating means, and the vibration by the signal of the vibration operating switch. A vibration control means for controlling the generating means is provided.

[0009]

According to the present invention, since the vibration of the vibration generating means is transmitted to the seated human body through the toilet seat, blood circulation in the buttocks can be easily promoted and fatigue caused by sitting for a long time can be prevented. It is possible to reduce.

Further, since the toilet seat device of the present invention is provided with the vibration control means for controlling the vibration generated from the vibration generation means, it is possible to generate / stop the vibration and adjust the intensity according to the preference of the user.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a top view of a toilet seat device showing an embodiment of the present invention. 2 and 3 are a partial perspective view and a partial top view of the toilet seat device.

In the figure, reference numeral 8 is a toilet seat installed on the upper part of the toilet 9, which is hollow inside. Toilet seat 8
Is attached to the main body 11a of the toilet seat device 11 in a retractable manner. Reference numeral 10 is a leg portion for installing the toilet seat 8 from the toilet bowl 9 at a predetermined interval. Reference numeral 12 is a vibration generating means provided inside the toilet seat 8 and configured to be able to transmit vibration to the entire toilet seat. The vibration generating means 12 includes a vibrator 14 hooked on a stopper 13, a permanent magnet 15 attached to the vibrator 14,
Yoke 17 in which electromagnetic induction coil 16 is inserted, and Yoke 17
It is composed of a fixture 18 for restraining. Vibration generator 1
2 is symmetrically provided on the rear part of the toilet seat 8 so that the generated vibration concentrates on the buttocks and waist of the user when sitting. Reference numeral 21 is a vibration control means for controlling the vibration generated from the vibration generation means 12, and has a voltage control circuit 20 for controlling the voltage supplied to the electromagnetic induction coil 16 of the vibration generation means 12. Reference numeral 23 denotes a vibration operation switch, which is composed of a voltage adjustment volume 22 capable of adjusting the voltage output from the voltage control circuit 20 and stopping the operation of the vibration control means 21, that is, setting the voltage to 0. .

The operation of this embodiment having the above structure will be described. When a person sits on the toilet seat 8, the seat switch 1
9 is closed, and a voltage is applied from the voltage control circuit 20 to the vibration generating means 12. When an alternating current is applied to the electromagnetic induction coil 16, N and S poles are alternately induced at both ends of the yoke 17, and attraction and repulsion with respect to the polarity of the permanent magnet 15 are alternately repeated. As a result, the oscillator 14 vibrates,
The entire toilet seat is vibrated. Due to the vibration of the buttocks of the human body due to the vibration of the toilet seat, blood circulation can be promoted. By using an electromagnetic induction type vibrator as a vibration source, it is possible to reduce vibration noise. Further, since the seating switch 19 is provided, the vibration is activated / stopped by the seating / seating of the user. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to operate
The operation can be simplified. Further, when the signal from the voltage adjusting volume 22 is input to the voltage control circuit, the voltage in the circuit is controlled, and it becomes possible to adjust and stop the intensity of vibration. With this function, it is possible to respond to the vibration preference of each user and to the user who does not need vibration. Therefore, even when there are an unspecified number of users such as this type of toilet seat device, it is possible to give a comfortable feeling to each user.

[0015]

As is clear from the above description, the toilet seat device of the present invention has the toilet seat and the vibration generating means provided on the toilet seat, and the vibration generated by the vibration generating means can be transmitted to the human body when seated. The following effects can be obtained.

(1) Since the vibration is transmitted to the human body during the stool, blood circulation in the stool is promoted, and the feeling of fatigue due to long-term use can be reduced. In addition, the vibration also has the effect of promoting bowel movements, which is effective in eliminating constipation.

(2) Since the vibration control means is provided, it can be adjusted according to the user's preference, so that a comfortable feeling is given to each user even when there are an unspecified number of users. be able to.
