Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a toilet device that can dry the user's washing area with warm air.The shutter is provided at the hot air outlet so that it can be opened and closed, and the opening operation is performed by the wind force of the warm air. The purpose is to provide a structure that can always perform well.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on drawings showing embodiments thereof. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a toilet bowl body, and a toilet seat 3 on which a user 2 sits is installed on the top of the toilet bowl body 1. 4 is a lid provided on the toilet seat 3 so that it can be opened and closed; 5 is a cleaning device installed at the rear of the top of the toilet bowl body 1; and 6 is a hot air generator installed at the top of the toilet bowl body 1 in front of the cleaning device 5. This hot air generating device 6 is provided with a wind tunnel 8 having a hot air outlet 7. The hot air generator 6 also includes a fan 9 that is rotationally driven by a motor (not shown).
and a heating element (not shown) that heats the air sucked into the wind tunnel 8 by the rotation of the fan 9 and turns it into warm air.
has been established. 10 is a shutter provided at the hot air outlet 7 of the wind tunnel 8 so as to be openable and closable;
0 has an upper part rotatably supported by a shaft 11, and normally, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 2, the hot air outlet 7 is closed at the lower part by its own weight. In addition, after the user 2 has finished his work, he washes the area by the action of the cleaning device 5 and dries the area to be cleaned with warm air. The shutter 10 rotates, heats the air taken in from the outside with a heating element to turn it into hot air, and discharges this hot air from the hot air outlet 7, so the shutter 10 is pushed and rotated by the wind force of this warm air. , the hot air outlet 7 is opened. This allows hot air to be emitted to the area to be cleaned, thereby drying it.

Generally, the shutter 10 has the hot air outlet 7 blocked to prevent water from entering the wind tunnel 8 from the hot air outlet 7 during cleaning. In the case of the shape shown in Figure 2, the weight of the hot air is heavy compared to the speed of the hot air, so during drying, the shutter 10 can only be opened to the position shown by the dotted line in Figure 2, and as a result, the hot air is It was difficult to reach the cleaning area. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, a bending part 12 is provided at the tip of the shutter 10, which bends in the opposite direction to the hot air discharge direction, and a wind tunnel 8 is provided with a bent portion 13 that is bent inside. As a result, a part of the flow of the warm air that has passed through the wind tunnel 8 is directed upward by the bent portion 13 of the wind tunnel 8, and the shutter 10 is pushed and rotated upward by the speed of the warm air. In this case, the bent portion 13 allows hot air to be discharged from the bent portion to the hot air outlet 7.
As the distance between the bottom and the top of the wind tunnel 8 gradually decreases, the speed of the hot air from the hot air outlet 7 increases, and since the bent portion 12 is provided at the tip of the shutter 10, The lift force of the shutter 10 increases to completely open the hot air outlet 7 as shown by the solid line in FIG. As a result, the warm air from the hot air outlet 7 is discharged in a substantially horizontal direction as shown by the solid arrow, so that the user's 3 cleaning area can be effectively dried with this warm air.

As described above, according to the present invention, a bent portion is provided in the lower part of the shutter that opens the hot air outlet by wind force of the warm air in the direction opposite to the hot air outlet direction, and is close to the hot air outlet of the wind tunnel. The bottom of the wind tunnel is provided with a bent part that bends upwards, and the distance between the bottom and the top of the wind tunnel from the bent part to the hot air outlet is gradually reduced, so that the hot air speed increases and The lower part of the shutter can be lifted up greatly by the wind force, and as a result, the user's cleaning area can be dried with high-speed, warm air directed upwards, making it highly effective and extremely comfortable. Become.
