〔産業上の利用分野〕
この発明は、利用者が小便器を利用する都度、゛ 小便
器を自動的に洗浄する小便器洗浄装置に関するものであ
る。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a urinal cleaning device that automatically cleans a urinal each time a user uses the urinal.
従来、小便器の洗浄は利用者の手動制御１による洗浄ま
たは、一定時間間隔毎の自動洗浄の方式がとられていた
が、小便器の衛生状態は手動制御の場合、利用者の注意
力で決まり、自動の場合は洗浄間隔で決まってしまう。Conventionally, urinals have been cleaned either manually by the user or automatically at regular intervals, but when manually controlled, the sanitary state of the urinal is determined by the user's attentiveness. If it is automatic, it is determined by the cleaning interval.
自動の場合、利用者が多いならば洗浄間隔を短かくする
ことが有効であるが、利用者が少ないときけ無駄な洗浄
が行なわれ、経済性が悪い。In the case of an automatic system, it is effective to shorten the cleaning interval if there are many users, but if there are few users, unnecessary cleaning will be performed, which is not economical.
このため、近年は利用者が小便器を使用する都度、自動
的に洗浄を行なうものが多くなっている。For this reason, in recent years, more and more urinals are automatically cleaned each time a user uses them.
これは発光器から反射された赤外線が利用者の衣服など
から反射されて戻ってくる反射光を検出し、その検出結
果に基づいて洗浄を行なうようにしたものである。This system detects the infrared rays reflected from the light emitter and returns from the user's clothes, etc., and performs cleaning based on the detection results.
しかしながらこのような従来の装置は、利用者の検出距
離範囲をある値に設定しても、反射光の大部分は利用者
の衣服で反射されて戻ってくるものであるため、反射率
の高い衣服を着た人が小便器の前を通ると、その距離が
検出範囲外であっても受光器の受光量が増え、誤動作し
てしまうという問題を有していた。この問題を解決する
ため検出器の感度を低下させることも考えられるが、今
度は反射率の低い衣服を着た利用者に対して不動作とな
るという問題が生じる。However, with such conventional devices, even if the user's detection distance range is set to a certain value, most of the reflected light is reflected back by the user's clothing, so When a person wearing clothes passes in front of a urinal, the amount of light received by the light receiver increases even if the distance is outside the detection range, resulting in a malfunction. In order to solve this problem, it may be possible to reduce the sensitivity of the detector, but this will cause the problem that it will not work for users wearing clothes with low reflectance.
〔問題点を解決するための手段〕
このような問題を解決するためこの発明は、小便器から
利用者までの距離を動作の判定基準としたものである。[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve these problems, the present invention uses the distance from the urinal to the user as a criterion for determining operation.
利用者が所定距離範囲内に存在した後、所定距離範囲内
れたとき洗浄が行なわれる。After the user is within the predetermined distance range, cleaning is performed when the user comes within the predetermined distance range.
第１図はこの発明の一実施例を示すブロック図である。 FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

距離検出装置１０に供給される。When a user uses the urinal, the transmitted ultrasonic waves are reflected and return to the urinal.The returned ultrasonic waves are detected by the ultrasonic receiver 6, and the detected signal is sent to the amplifier T.
The signal is amplified by the wave detector 8 and detected by the wave detector 8. The detected signal is sent to the first distance detection device 9, which sends out a detection signal when a user is present in front of the urinal, and the first distance detection device 9, which sends out a detection signal when a user is present in front of the urinal, and the first distance detection device 9, which detects when a user is present within a predetermined distance from the urinal. The second distance detection device 10 sends out a detection signal when it detects that the distance is more than a predetermined distance.

ｍ、遠点が約７８０調である。FIG. 2 shows a state in which a reflective detector 15 is attached to the urinal 14, and the detector 15 has an ultrasonic transmitter 5 and an ultrasonic receiver 6 integrated into it. Range A in FIG. 2(a) is the optimal sensing area for sensing that the user is in front of the urinal 14, and the periapsis from the mounting surface is approximately 380y.
m, the far point is approximately 780th tone.
一万、音波が１秒間に伝播する距離りは周囲温度をｔ１

(C) is the signal of the detected ultrasonic wave reflected back, (d) is the output of the detector 8, (e) is the output of the distance detection device 9, (g) is the output of the distance detection device 10, ( g) is the signal for turning on the flash valve. Furthermore, the range "A" is the period when the user is approaching the urinal, the range "口" is the period when the user is relieving himself, and the range "Shi" is the period when the user is leaving the urinal.

3), the output of the distance detection device e9 is sent out, and as the user leaves, the output of the distance detection device 10 is sent out as shown in FIG. (
As shown in g), a flush valve on signal is sent from the cleaning device 11.

に比べてより強力な洗浄効果ｔ−発揮する。FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example when pre-cleaning is performed in addition to post-cleaning, and when the user is detected as shown in FIG. 4(a), as shown in FIG. 4(c). Post-cleaning is performed in the same manner as described above, but if the next user is detected after more than T1 hours have passed after the user has been detected, as shown in FIG. 4(b). Pre-cleaning is performed as follows. This state is shown in detail in Figure 3 (e), □□□), and if the time from the end of previous user detection to the next user detection is T1 hours or more, new use One second after the person is detected, a 7-lush valve-on signal is generated and pre-washing is performed. If you pre-clean in this way, a water film will form on the urinal, so
Post-cleaning performed after use provides a more powerful cleaning effect than when no pre-cleaning is performed.
なお、洗浄時に消臭液を含んだ水を流せば、次に使用す
る利用者に不快感を与えることがない。Note that if water containing deodorizing liquid is flushed during cleaning, the next user will not feel uncomfortable.

洗浄を省略することもできる。Further, when the distance detection device 10 of the cleaning device 11 sends out a detection signal, the effect of post-cleaning can be expected even if the urinal is pre-cleaned for a certain period of time. Furthermore, when the urinal is used frequently, a water film has formed on the urinal due to the previous post-cleaning, so distance detection, after the mountain fold [10 sends out a detection signal, until the distance detection device 9 sends out a detection signal. The pre-cleaning can be omitted as long as the water film is maintained.
