Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an operation switch for a flushing toilet with a dryer.

As shown in FIG. 1, this type of conventional flushing toilet bowl has two main components: cleaning water (warm water) coming out of a discharge nozzle 1 for cleaning the area to be cleaned of the human body, and hot air outlet 2 for drying the cleaning area. Turn on and off the hot air (cold air) coming out of the
This is done by a drying selector switch 3, the electric circuit of which is shown in FIG.

When the knob 4 of the changeover switch 30 is operated in the direction a, the solenoid valve 5 opens and cleaning water is discharged from the discharge nozzle 1.

Further, when the knob 4 of the changeover switch 3 is operated in the direction b, the motor fan 6 is energized and cold air is blown out from the hot air outlet 2.

In this case, when the hot air selector switch 8 is turned on, the heater 7
is energized, and hot air is blown out from the hot air outlet 2.

However, in the conventional configuration described above, in order to adjust the amount of washing water discharged from the discharge nozzle 1, a water amount adjustment knob 9 is provided in a place other than the washing/drying switch 3.
In this case, in order to use the amount of water that suits the user's preference, the user must operate the water amount adjustment knob 9 in addition to the washing/drying switch knob 4. However, it was very inconvenient for the user.

3 is an external view of another conventional toilet bowl, and FIG. 4 is a side sectional view of a flow rate regulating valve B employed in the toilet bowl of FIG. 3.

However, even in this case, the drying switch and the cleaning switch R are located in different places, making them difficult to operate.

The present invention has been devised to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 5 is an external view of a toilet bowl body using a flow control valve according to an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 6 is a sectional view showing the configuration of the flow control valve, and Fig. 7 is a view of the flow control valve and the dryer. It is an electrical circuit diagram.

In these figures, 12 is the rotation axis 1 of the flow control valve.
A micro switch 16 for opening and closing an electromagnetic valve constituting a cleaning water supply means is arranged in correspondence with the outer periphery of the circular cam 12, which is fixed with a small screw 11 to the circular cam 12 and formed by cutting out a part of the circular cam. , is attached to a partially bent portion 14 of a switch case frame 13 of the flow rate regulating valve with a screw 15.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a rotating shaft to which the flow rate control valve knob 17 is attached with a machine screw 19. A holding plate 22 is attached to the center of the rotating shaft 18 with a nut 23 so as to be perpendicular to the rotating shaft 18. .

The lower end 20 of the flow rate adjustment valve knob 170 and the rotating shaft 18
is rotatably inserted into the hole 21 of the rotating shaft 10 of the flow control valve.

A coil spring 24 is provided between the circular cam 12 and the holding plate 22, and this coil spring 24 always urges the holding plate 22 upward.

Reference numeral 25 denotes a protruding boss fixed to the circular cam 12, and the protruding boss 25 is provided so as to pass through the through hole 26 of the presser plate 22.

Further, the upper part of the rotating shaft 18 of the flow control valve knob 17 is inserted into a hole 27 provided in the switch case frame 13 so as to be rotatable.

Reference numeral 28 denotes a microswitch for controlling on/off of the drying device, and this microswitch 28 is a small switch mounted on the switch case frame 13 so that it operates via the presser plate 22 when the flow rate adjustment valve knob 17 is pressed. screw 2
It is installed at 9.

In the above configuration, when the flow rate adjustment valve knob 17 is rotated, the holding plate 22 integrated with the rotating shaft 18 rotates, and the power is transmitted to the circular cam 12 via the protruding boss 25 to rotate the circular cam 12. let

This rotation operates a microswitch 16 for opening and closing a solenoid valve provided close to the outer periphery of the circular cam 12, and at the same time, a solenoid valve 30 electrically connected to this microswitch 16 opens.

At the same time, the rotating shaft 10 of the flow control valve rotates,
A female thread 32 provided on the flow rate adjustment valve body and a male thread 33 provided on the rotation shaft 10 of the flow rate adjustment valve.
Because the rotating shaft 10 of the flow rate regulating valve moves upward due to the screw engagement with the flow rate regulating valve, a gap is created between the tip 31 of the rotating shaft 10 of the flow rate regulating valve and the valve receiving portion 34 of the flow rate regulating valve body. Washing water is supplied through this gap.

In this case, the gap between 31 and 34 becomes wider as the rotation angle of the flow control valve knob 17 increases, and as a result, the amount of cleaning water discharged from the discharge nozzle 1 also increases.

Further, when the knob 17 is pressed at a position where the rotation shaft 10 of the flow rate adjustment valve is tightened, the press plate 22 that is integrated with the rotation shaft 18 of the flow rate adjustment valve knob 17 is lowered and the drying micro switch 28 is lowered. turns on.

As a result, the motor fan 35 electrically connected to the micro switch 28 rotates, and when the hot air heater changeover switch 36 is turned on, the hot air heater 37 generates heat, and hot air is released from the hot air outlet 2 of the toilet seat. The cleaning area can then be dried.

Note that in the above embodiment, the microswitch 16
Although the explanation has been given on a device that controls the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve constituting the washing water supply means, the washing water supply means may also be a pump, and in this case, the microswitch 16 for opening and closing the electromagnetic valve is This is a microswitch for driving the pump.

As described above, according to the present invention, by arbitrarily turning the rotation angle of the flow rate control valve knob, the amount (power of water) of the cleaning water (warm water) that comes out from the discharge nozzle for cleaning the user's area to be cleaned can be adjusted. ) can be obtained according to the user's preference,
On the other hand, when drying after washing, hot air can be obtained by pressing the flow control valve knob, which provides an excellent effect in that the user can operate smoothly without any confusion.
