Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a heated toilet seat that includes a heater inside and heats the toilet seat.

Conventionally, in this type of heated toilet seat, the connection between the heater wire and the cord or the temperature fuse provided on the heater wire are not fixed in the seat itself, so if the shock when opening and closing the toilet seat is repeated, the wire will break and the temperature fuse will break. There was a risk that this could cause malfunction of the equipment, damage to the insulation coating, etc.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to fix the connection part of the heater wire and the cord, the thermal fuse, etc. by using the cord push provided when pulling the cord into the toilet seat body. An object of the present invention is to provide a heated toilet seat that can prevent the above-mentioned problems.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on illustrated embodiments.

In the figure, A is the toilet seat main body, and the main body A is pivotally attached to a case C provided on the rear upper surface of the toilet bowl B so as to be freely slidable.

The toilet seat body A is made of aluminum or resin and is shaped into a generally annular body or a shape in which the front part of the annular body is partially cut out, and its cross-sectional shape bulges upward, and its upper surface extends toward the inner peripheral edge. It is shaped into a warm, gently sloping shape.

A back cover 1 is provided on the bottom surface of the toilet seat main body A across both its inner and outer edges, and is fixed with an adhesive or the like so that it cannot be easily removed from the main body A.

The back cover 1 is provided with a contact piece 2 made of plastic, resin, or rubber. When the toilet seat body A is attached to the toilet bowl B, it cushions the shock caused by opening and closing, and the toilet seat body A directly touches the rim of the toilet bowl B. It is designed not to touch surface 3.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a heater wired along the back side of the top surface of the toilet seat main body A. The heater 4 is arranged evenly over the entire surface of the main body A without corners, and is covered with a metal foil sheet 5 over the toilet seat. It is fixed to the main body A and connected to a power source via a controller (not shown) provided inside the case C.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a thermal fuse provided at one end of the heater 4 wire, and the heater 4 is connected to a cord 7a communicating with the controller via the fuse 6, and is covered with a cover 8a made of plastic or resin.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a connecting portion between the other end of the heater 4 wire and a cord 7b that connects to the controller, and the connecting portion 9 is also covered with a cover 8b made of resin.

Also, a cover 8 is provided with a thermal fuse 6 and a connection part 9, respectively.
2 and 8b are supported and fixed between the protrusions 10 protruding from the corners of the toilet seat main body A and the inner surface of the main body A.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a thermistor, which is embedded in the hole 12 drilled in the seat 5 and provided on the back side of the top surface of the toilet seat main body A. It detects the temperature on the surface of the main body A and communicates it to the controller via the code 7C. I'll do what I do.

That is, the controller increases or decreases the effective value of the current flowing through the heater 4 based on the signal from the thermistor 11, so that the temperature of the heater 4 and the temperature of the toilet seat body A heated by the heater 4 are kept constant.

On the other hand, a notch 13 is provided on the side circumferential surface of the toilet seat body A.
The cords 7a and 7b inside the main body A are inserted through the notch 13.
, 7C so that they are connected to the controller.

A cord pusher 14 is engaged with the cutout portion 13 .

The cord push 14 is made of synthetic resin and has a groove 15 formed on its periphery, and the groove 15 is attached to the periphery of the notch 13 so that it can be taken in and out freely, and the cord 7a, 7b and 7C are supported in a penetrating manner.

Further, the inner upper surface of the cord pusher 14 presses the cover 8a in which the thermal fuse 6 is installed from below, and is supported and fixed between it and the upper back side of the toilet seat main body A.

In the above embodiment, the cover 8a is provided with a thermal fuse 6 and a connecting portion 9 between the protrusion 10 and the toilet seat body A.
, 8b are supported and fixed, but the protrusion 10 is not necessarily necessary depending on the shape of the cord pusher 14.

That is, the cord push 14 itself is connected to the cover 8a.
, 8b may be shaped to prevent them from escaping in the lateral direction.

Inside the toilet seat body A, the thermal fuse 6 provided to the heater 4 and the cord 7a and the connecting portion 9 between the heater 4 wire and the cord 7b are held between the protrusion 10 and the body A, and the cord 7a is held between the protrusion 10 and the body A. , 7b, 7C, the thermal fuse 6 is supported and fixed between the upper surface of the main body A and the upper surface of the cord pusher 14.

Therefore, even if the toilet seat main body A slides and receives repeated shocks when opening and closing, the thermal fuse 6 and the connecting portion 9
never moves.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the connection part between the heater wire and the cord in the toilet seat body, the temperature fuse, etc. are supported and fixed between the cord pusher and the body, so that repeated shocks occur when the toilet seat is opened and closed. The fixing means does not move even when exposed to heat, prevents breakage of wires, malfunction of thermal fuses, destruction of insulation coatings, etc., and is more economical than using other materials such as adhesives or adhesive tapes. Moreover, the workability is good in the assembly work.

In addition, according to the above structure, the protrusions for auxiliary fixing of the connection parts and thermal fuses can be suppressed to the necessary minimum, so it is possible to minimize the sink marks caused by the shrinkage of the bonding resin, thereby improving the product quality. It does not spoil the beauty.
