DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a remote control device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, a remote control device 51 for remotely controlling a toilet with a local cleaning device is constructed as shown in FIG. 3, and a plurality of frequently used main switches 52 have good operability. And a plurality of sub-switches 53 which are not frequently used are arranged at the left side in FIG. 5
2 is "weak" used when washing the buttocks,
"Medium" and "Strong" switches and "Weak", "Medium" and "Strong" switches for cleaning bidets, and "Low", "Medium" and "High" for drying wet parts A high switch, a switch for stopping, a switch used for causing the washing nozzle to swing back and forth, and a switch for adjusting the washing position back and forth. The switch 53 includes, for example, an adjustment switch for adjusting the temperature of the toilet seat heater, a switch for saving power, a switch for setting the temperature of the washing water, and the like.
However, as the functions of the toilet bowl diversify, the number of these switches 52 and 53 increases, and the entire remote controller 51 becomes large, so that the remote controller 51 is required to secure a certain size and interval of the switches. There is a problem that it is difficult to reduce the size.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and has as its object to provide a remote control device which can be downsized.
The gist of the present invention is to provide a main face in which a plurality of frequently used switches are arranged at intervals, and a sub-face in which a plurality of infrequently used switches are arranged at intervals. Are slidably disposed from a storage position concealed on the back side of the main face body to a use position pulled out to the side or up and down of the main face body, and a plurality of switches of the main face body in the storage position. The configuration is such that the plurality of switches of the sub-plane are located in an empty space therebetween. In addition, the second gist is that a plurality of infrequently used switches are arranged at intervals on the back side of a main face body in which a plurality of infrequently used switches are arranged in an empty space between the switches of the main face body. A configuration is such that the sub-plane is superimposed on the sub-plane and the main plane is opened and closed with respect to the sub-plane.

[0004]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a remote controller according to a first embodiment. The sub-plane 3 is slidably movable over the use position where the sub-plane 3 is pulled out. The sub-plane 3 is formed with through holes 3a, 3a, 3a that are long and extend in the lateral direction and are vertically spaced from each other. These through holes 3a, 3
The main switches 52, 52, 52 are arranged in rows on the main surface body 2 at the positions a, 3a. The main switches 52, 52, 52 are composed of a plurality of switches that are frequently used. And "weak", "medium" and "strong" switches for ass washing as shown in FIG.
"Weak", "medium", "strong" switch for cleaning bidet and
The main switches 52, 52, 52 have a considerable size for easy operation, and are composed of "low", "medium", "high" switches for drying and a stop switch for stopping. Therefore, each switch interval is formed wide.

Further, a plurality of infrequently used sub-switches 53, 53, 53 are arranged on the sub-plane 3. The sub-switch 53 is a switch for controlling the temperature of the toilet seat or the temperature of the washing water. It is composed of an adjustment switch, a power saving switch, and the like, and is composed of a group of infrequently used switches that are not normally used once set. Each of the sub-switches 53, 53, 53 is provided with the through-hole 3a, 3
a, 3a, are arranged in rows, and when the sub-plane 3 is stored on the back side of the main plane 2, as shown by a broken line in the figure, the sub-plane 3 is located in an empty space between the main switches 52, 52, 52. It is configured to be arranged,
In the stowed state, the main switch 52 and the sub switch 53 are configured not to overlap, and are set so that erroneous operation does not occur.

If the main face 2 is formed in the shape of a thin box and the sub face 3 is slidably accommodated in the main face 2, the sub face 3 is usually placed inside the main face 2. The sub-plane 3 can be housed in a concealed state to provide a neat small remote control. The sub-plane 3 can be pulled out to the side of the main plane 2 and the sub-switch 53 can be used if necessary. This makes it possible to reduce the size of the remote controller while ensuring good operability.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment. In FIG. 2, a plurality of infrequently used sub-switches 5 are shown.
On the front side of the sub-plane 3 on which 3, 53, 53 are disposed, the main plane 2, on which a plurality of frequently used main switches 52, 52, 52 are disposed, is arranged in an overlapping manner. Both are connected, and the main facepiece 2 is folded in a notebook shape to the front side around the connection part 4 so that the subfacepiece 3 is exposed when necessary so that the subswitch 53 can be used. In a normal state, the sub-plane 3 is hidden behind the main plane 2 in a superposed manner, and only the main plane 2 is exposed, so that a compact remote controller can be constructed.
The main switches 52, 52, which are frequently used, are formed in a certain size in order to ensure operability, and have a wide interval. The sub-switches 53 are arranged so as to be positioned in an empty space between the main switches 52, 52 in a superposed state, so that the sub-switch 53 is not erroneously operated when the main switch 52 is operated. ing. In this example, the main switches 52, 52 are constituted by waterproof switches.

[0008]

The remote control device of the present invention comprises a main panel in which a plurality of frequently used switches are arranged at intervals, and a plurality of infrequently used switches are arranged at intervals. A sub-plane is provided, and the sub-plane is slidably disposed from a storage position concealed on the back side of the main plane to a use position pulled out to the side or up and down of the main plane, and in the storage position. By configuring the plurality of switches of the sub-plane in a vacant space between the plurality of switches of the main plane, the sub-plane is usually stored on the back side of the main plane, and only the main plane is exposed. It can be used as a small remote control device, and the sub-plane can be pulled out sideways or up and down as needed, and each switch of the main plane can be used The operability can be improved by securing the size and interval, and each switch on the main facepiece and each switch on the sub facepiece are configured not to overlap, so that erroneous operation can be prevented well, There is an effect that the size can be reduced without impairing the operability of the remote controller.

In addition, a plurality of infrequently used switches are arranged in an empty space between the switches of the main face body on a back side of a main face body in which a plurality of frequently used switches are arranged at intervals. By superimposing the sub-plane which is arranged in such a manner that the main plane can be opened and closed with respect to the sub-plane, usually, the sub-plane is hidden behind the main plane and only the main plane is exposed. It can be installed in a neat state, the main face can be opened and the sub-face exposed, and switches on the sub-face can be operated as required, and the remote control can be downsized without impairing the operability of the remote control Has an effect.
