Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an onomatopoeic sound generating device, and in particular to an onomatopoeic sound generating device used to muffle the sound of defecation in general flush toilets. The present invention relates to an onomatopoeia generator that has an emergency alert function in case someone needs help.

Generally, the amount of water consumed by a user in a flush toilet, that is, the amount of water used by a toilet user to flush excrement and purify the toilet bowl after use, should be approximately constant. However, not only in ordinary homes but also in public facilities such as offices, companies, department stores, schools, hospitals, stations, etc. where people frequently come and go,
Toilet users are conscious of the presence of people around them, flush water before there is any excrement to muffle the sound of defecation, and then flush purified water again after defecating, so precious water is not consumed for purposes other than its intended purpose. There were some drawbacks. It is well known that the amount of water that is dissipated in this way is enormous even in one day. Furthermore, as toilets are private rooms, it is well known that there is a high possibility that crimes will occur there.Furthermore, people often need help due to sudden illness or seizures in the toilets. As is well known, the reality is that no consideration has been taken to prepare for such a situation.

The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.
It is a 7' hour system, and its purpose is that when a toilet user opens the door of a flush toilet, the light intensity inside the toilet changes, and the light intensity reaction sensor detects this change in light intensity. By operating the onomatopoeic sound generator for a certain period of time to continuously generate a sound similar to, for example, the sound of running water, toilet users can simply eliminate the sound of defecation without having to flush the water. The aim is to significantly reduce the amount of water used in flush toilets. Another purpose is to allow water to be flushed at any time in order to actually flush away excrement, as in the past, so that the user does not feel strange or inconvenienced. . ! Another purpose is to provide a simple and compact onomatopoeic sound generating device, and in particular, by equipping this onomatopoeic sound generating device with an emergency alarm function for crime prevention or emergency rescue, it is possible to prevent crimes and accidents in toilets. It is to be.

Various musical scales can be arbitrarily selected and stored in the electronic identification storage device 22, such as the sound of running water, the sound of a babbling stream, and the chirping of birds. Electronic fixed storage device 2
2 is a ROM (READ ON]jY MBMORY) which stores binary scale control data for generating onomatopoeia. The central processing unit 21 receives the specified scale selection signal from the scale selection device 20, selectively organizes the scale control data in the electronic fixed storage device 22 according to a predetermined program, and then stores the scale control data in the electronic temporary storage device 20. The device 23 is a RAM (RAN).
I) OM ACCESS MB=1'vfORY) The program contents organized by the central processing unit 21 are temporarily stored. The central processing unit 21, the permanent storage device 22, and the electronic temporary storage device 23 constitute a microcomputer.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the door 2 of the toilet 1 is closed, the incident light A of the illumination lamp 7 is reflected by the door 2 at a certain angle, and the reflected light A' shown by the imaginary line is reflected by the light intensity response sensor 8. It is designed to be sensed by J'L.

Next, when the toilet user U opens the door 2, the reflected light A'
is unspecified with respect to the light intensity reaction sensor 8, that is, the light intensity inside the toilet 1 changes. This change in luminosity is measured by the luminosity reaction
The onomatopoeic sound generator 10 is sensed by the sound generator 8 and maintained at a predetermined potential for a predetermined time to operate the device. In Figures 1 and 2, the onomatopoeia generator 10

This is a peephole provided in case someone needs help due to sudden illness, seizures, etc., and when pressed, an emergency alarm sound is generated.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and its operation will be explained below. In FIG. 1, when a toilet user U opens the door 2, the reflected light from the illumination lamp 7 is unequal with respect to the luminous intensity response sensor 8, and the luminous intensity inside the toilet 1 changes. The light intensity reaction sensor 8 senses the change in light intensity and becomes a predetermined potential, causing the scale selection device 20 to operate and generate a scale selection signal selected in advance. The central processing unit fall operates upon receiving the scale selection signal, selectively organizes the scale control data in the electronic fixed storage device [22] according to a scheduled program, and stores the program contents in the electronic temporary storage device 23. let Based on this program, the central processing unit K21 continuously reads scale control data from the electronic fixed storage device 22 at the timing of a generator (not shown). Koj.

The digital-to-analog converter 24 converts the binary scale control data into a voltage, amplifies this fL [7], and outputs it from a speaker as an onomatopoeia of the planned scale. After a certain period of time has elapsed, the onomatopoeic sound generating device 10 no longer has any scheduled positions, and the onomatopoeic sound generating operation stops.

In FIG. 1, it is assumed that the state of the light A-N of the lamp 7 while the person U using the toilet is using the toilet is as shown in the diagram, and that the generation of onomatopoeia has already stopped at this time. However, there are also cases where occlusion of onomatopoeia occurs. In this case, when the toilet user U makes some movement, such as shifting his or her body slightly or moving his arm, the sensor 8 detects a change in the luminous intensity inside the toilet and maintains the planned potential again. The generator 10 operates to generate onomatopoeic sounds. Although the relationship between the light emitter and the light intensity responsive sensor 8 is limited by the space used by the sensor 8f, it is clear that the volume of a typical private toilet 1 is sufficient to ensure the reaction of the sensor 8 to changes in light intensity or brightness. It is. [7] However, if the light bulb's filament is turned off, or some other problem causes the lighting rung 7 to not light up, and the light 1#'' reaction sensor 8 does not work in the darkness, the toilet user U... By repeatedly pressing the manual operation switch button 13 provided on the front surface of the container 10a of the onomatopoeia generating pole [10], this will send an electrical signal to the scale selection device 20 to enable the onomatopoeia. - Generator 1
0 works.

In addition, if the user U feels that he or she is in danger due to a criminal act in the toilet 1, or if he or she needs help due to a seizure or physical condition, the container 10 of the onomatopoeic sound generating device 10
When the manual operation switch button 14 installed on the side work OC of a is pressed, this generates an electrical signal to enable the scale selection switch SO of the t scale selection device 2o. Specific scale control data stored in the reserved fixed storage device 22 is specified to generate an emergency alert sound. In general households, this emergency alarm sound is sufficiently effective if it is generated only in the toilet where the onomatopoeic sound generator 1 is installed, but it is effective in offices, companies, department stores, schools, stations, etc. In the case of a large 1A section, it is also possible to connect the toilet directly to a morgue, staff room, etc. It is possible to have the patient go directly to the women's station at the hospital. In the present invention, a manually operated switch button 13 as a substitute for the sensor 8 is provided on the front surface 10 of the container 10a.
Is it placed in b? On the other hand, the manual operation switch button 14 for emergency notification is arranged on the side surface 10c of the container 10a, so toilet users do not have to press the wrong switch button, and women and girls can attacked by thugs
, it can be operated by pressing incessantly.

Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, when the user opens the door of the flush toilet, the light intensity inside the toilet changes, and the light intensity reaction sensor senses this change in light intensity, thereby producing an onomatopoeic sound generating device. It operates for a certain period of time and continuously generates a sound similar to the sound of water running, for example, so toilet users do not have to flush water to eliminate the sound of defecation, and this makes flushing toilets easier. This has the effect of significantly reducing water usage. In addition, when it is desired to flush the water to actually flush away excrement, the water can be flushed at any time as before, so summer users of the toilet do not feel strange or inconvenienced. In addition, by providing a simple and compact onomatopoeia generator, and by equipping KARICON with an emergency alarm function for crime prevention or emergency relief, it is possible to prevent crimes and accidents in toilets. This is an invention with extremely high practical value.
