Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is used by being attached to the toilet bowl together with the toilet seat.
The present invention relates to a private parts cleaning device that sprays cleansing water from a nozzle to clean private parts.

Conventionally, this type of private cleaning device was developed in
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 18924, the case is fixed to the toilet bowl with the functional part housed inside the case.

Therefore, when performing repairs or inspections, you must remove the water supply pipes, etc. that connect to the functional parts inside the storage case, remove the entire storage case from the toilet bowl, and then remove the functional parts from the storage case to ensure that the repair and inspection work can be carried out reliably. Moreover, in the conventional type mentioned above, the operation switch that operates the functional part is fixed to the storage case, so when the functional part is removed from the storage case, the two are connected by wiring, making assembly and disassembly easy. There was a problem that I couldn't do it.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve these problems and to enable repair and inspection work to be carried out easily and reliably.

The basic structure of the present invention is that the storage case consists of a box-shaped cover with an open bottom, a bottom plate that is removably attached to the bottom, and all the parts that make up the functional parts are attached to the top. The bottom plate is placed and fixed on the top surface of the toilet bowl, and when the cover and the bottom plate are assembled, the switch main body is attached to the bottom plate and the switch operation part is attached to the cover so that the operating rod and the push button correspond and cooperate with each other. This allows all the parts constituting the functional section to be exposed while remaining fixed to the bottom plate by simply removing the cover, and even if the cover is removed from the bottom plate, the two are not connected by wiring.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the figure, A is a storage case that stores functional part D, B,
Reference numerals C denote a toilet seat and a toilet lid that are slidably attached to the storage case A, respectively, and these toilet seat B and toilet lid C are attached by fitting the rear portions into a pair of left and right toilet seat mounting portions 1 formed on the front surface of the storage case A. It is pivoted.

The storage case A is comprised of a box-shaped cover 2 with an open bottom and a bottom plate 3 that closes the bottom of the cover 2, and the bottom plate 3 is detachably attached to the cover 2 with screws 35.

Functional part D has main water supply line a ₁ and auxiliary water supply line a ₂
It consists of a water supply line a equipped with a controller b and an operating switch c.
It is attached to the bottom plate 3 and housed in the storage case A, except for a switch operation part _c2 which will be described later.

The main supply line A ₁ is a first line which also serves as a flow rate adjustment valve 5 integrally equipped with a solenoid valve 4, a heat exchanger 6, and a backflow prevention valve.
The vacuum breaker 7 and the cleaning nozzle 8 are successively connected to each other directly or via a connecting pipe 9, and the water supply pipe connected to the solenoid valve 4 is connected to the outside of the storage case A from the side surface of the cover 2. Branch fitting 1 that protrudes and serves as a connection to a water supply source such as a water pipe
Contact 0.

The auxiliary water supply line _a2 is configured by connecting the second vacuum breaker 11 and the auxiliary nozzle 12 via a communication pipe 13, and the second vacuum breaker 11 is connected to the second vacuum breaker 11 and the second vacuum breaker 11 of the flow rate regulating valve 5 of the main water supply line _a1 . It is connected to the next side and branches from the main water supply line _a1 at that part.

The cleaning nozzle 8 and the auxiliary nozzle 12 are connected to the former spout 14 when this device is attached to the toilet bowl E.
facing forward and diagonally upward so that it faces the user's private parts,
Both are attached to the bottom plate 3 in parallel and adjacent to each other so that the latter spout 15 faces the rear surface of the rim 16 of the toilet bowl E,
It protrudes from the plate 3.

When the water supply line a is energized to the solenoid valve 4, the solenoid valve 4 opens, and cleaning water is supplied from the water supply source through the solenoid valve 4 and the flow rate adjustment valve 5, and a part of it is It flows through the main water supply line _A1 to the end and is ejected from the cleaning nozzle 8, cleaning the private parts of the user who is sitting or straddling the toilet seat B, and the other part flows into the auxiliary water supply channel _A2 and is ejected from the auxiliary nozzle 12. More squirts, toilet bowl E
Clean the rear surface of the rim 16.

Energization to the electromagnetic valve 4 is started and stopped by an operating switch c.

This operation switch c is composed of a switch main body part c ₁ attached to the case bottom plate 3 and a switch operation part c ₂ attached to the case cover 2, and the switch operation part c ₂ passes through the side wall of the case cover 2. A guide tube 17 is attached and fixed to the case cover 2, a push rod 18 is slidably inserted through the guide tube 17, and a push button 19 is attached to the end of the push rod 18 on the outside of the cover 2. The push rod 18 is biased toward the inside of the cover 2 by a spring 20. The spring 20 is the main body of the switch
It is weaker than the spring 27 of c ₁ and always presses the end of the push rod 18 against the operating rod 25 without interfering with the operation of the switch main body c ₁ .

On the other hand, the switch main body c ₁ is assembled into the casing 21 and is fixed to the case bottom plate 3 at a position slightly away from the side wall of the case cover ₂ so as to face the switch operation part c 2 . It has a pair of contacts 23 and 24, one of which is fixed to the upper surface inside the casing and the other fixed to the tip of the spring plate 22 that is in contact with the surface, and an operating rod that moves forward and backward along the spring plate 22 below the contact points 23 and 24. 2
5 and a groove-shaped guide 26 that guides and restricts the forward and backward movement of the operating rod 25. The operating rod 25 is biased by a spring 27 in the _two directions of the switch operating portion c, and its rear end protrudes outside the casing 21, allowing the operating rod 25 to operate the switch. part c ₂
The push rod 18 comes into contact with the tip of the push rod 18.

Further, the spring plate 22 extends diagonally downward in the forward movement direction of the operating rod 25, and the operating rod 25 corresponds to the spring plate 22 on the circumferential surface of its intermediate portion, and as the operating rod 25 moves forward, the spring plate 22 extends downward. Push upward and connect one contact 24 provided on the spring plate 22 to the casing 21.
It has a protrusion 28 that comes into contact with the other contact 23 fixed to the internal upper surface, and a pin 29 that engages with the guide 26.

The reason why the push rod 18 of the switch operation part c ₂ is biased in the direction of the operation rod 25 by a spring 20 is that if there is no spring 20, the push button 19 will be in a retracted state when the operation switch is turned on, but due to vibrations etc. This is to prevent this from happening, as there is a risk that the light may jump out by itself, making it confusing to determine whether it is ON or OFF.

This allows accurate discrimination between ON and OFF, and has the effect that the operating part is always in close contact with the switch body.

The guide 26 includes a first portion 26a that extends in the forward direction of the operating rod 25, a second portion 26b that continues from the end of the first portion 26a and returns slightly in the backward direction of the operating rod, and the second portion 26a.
6b, which extends slightly from the end in the forward direction of the operating rod.
It consists of an endless slot formed by a portion 26c and a fourth portion 26d that returns from its terminal end in the retracting direction of the operating rod and communicates with the starting end of the first portion 26a at its terminal end, and is connected to the second portion 26b. Third
It is formed to intersect diagonally with the portion 26c, and the hook portion 30 is formed by the boundary portion thereof.

When the push button 19 is pushed, the operating rod 25 moves forward and the protrusion 28 pushes up the spring plate 22 to bring the contacts 23 and 24 into contact with each other, so that the operating switch c is turned on. and push button 1
When you release your hand from 9 and the pushing force is released, the operating rod 25 is pushed back by the force of the spring 27 and the pin 29
is latched to the latching portion 30.

In this state, the actuating rod 25 is only slightly retracted, so the switch-on state is still maintained, and the push button 19 is also kept pushed in by the force of the spring 20.

Next, when pushbutton 19 is pressed again, the operating rod 25
moves forward slightly again and disengages from the latching part 30. When the pressing force on the push button is released, the operating rod 25 retreats, and the force of pushing up the spring plate 22 by the protrusion 28 is released, and the spring plate 22 returns to its original state. Restore to position and contact 2
3 and 24 are separated and the switch is turned off. On the other hand, as the operating rod 25 retreats, the push rod 18 is moved by the spring 20.
The push button 19 is pushed back against the force, and the push button 19 returns to its original state of protruding from the guide tube 17.

When the switch is on, the solenoid valve 4 is energized, and when the switch is off, the solenoid valve 4 is de-energized.

The controller b uses an electronic circuit and a thyristor 31 as its switching element, and increases or decreases the effective value of the current flowing through the heater according to a signal from a sensor (not shown) provided in the heater 32 of the heat exchanger 6. 32 to control the water temperature in the heat exchanger 6 to a predetermined temperature.

In the illustrated example, the toilet seat B is configured as a heated toilet seat equipped with an internal heater, and d in the figure
is an operation switch for the heated toilet seat, and its specific structure is the same as the operation switch c for operating the cleaning function section.

Therefore, such a private parts cleaning device has a bolt 32 that is inserted into a mounting hole 31 formed in the bottom plate 3 of the storage case A, and a nut 33 that is screwed onto the bolt 32, and the toilet seat B is attached to the periphery of the ball portion 34 of the toilet bowl E. A screw 35 rides on the rim 16 and is attached to the toilet bowl E so that the cleaning nozzle 8 and the auxiliary nozzle 12 protrude into the bowl bowl part 34 for use, and fixes the cover 1 and the bottom plate 3 as necessary. By removing the cover 1, the cover 1 can be removed from the bottom plate ₃ with only the switch operation parts c2 of switches c and d attached, without removing the water supply pipe connected to the solenoid valve 4 and the cord connecting to the power source. All the parts that make up the functional part D are on the bottom plate 3.
remains fixed.

Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following advantages.

In a private parts cleaning device in which a functional part is stored and arranged in a storage case, the storage case has a box-shaped cover with an open bottom, and all parts that are removably attached to the bottom and make up the functional part on the top surface. The bottom plate is placed and fixed on the top surface of the toilet bowl, and an operation switch for operating the above-mentioned functions is alternately turned on and off by advancing and retreating the operating rod, and when it is turned on, it is turned on and off. It consists of a switch main body that self-maintains the pressed state of the operating rod, and a switch operation section that uses a spring to bias the push button in the direction of the operating rod, and a spring that is weaker than the spring of the switch main body that operates the push button as described above. and a switch operation part that is biased in the direction of the rod, and the switch main part is placed on the bottom plate in such a way that when the cover and the bottom plate are assembled, the end of the push rod is always pressed against the switch main part without interfering with the operation of the switch main part. Since the operating parts are individually attached to the cover, all the parts that make up the functional part remain fixed to the bottom plate by simply removing the cover, without having to remove the water supply pipes etc. connected to the functional part. Repairs and inspections can be carried out reliably without having to take the trouble of removing the storage case from the toilet like in conventional toilet bowls, and even if the cover is removed from the bottom plate, there is no wiring between the two, making it easy to assemble and disassemble the storage case. Since it is easy to carry out, repair and inspection work can be carried out easily and reliably.

Since the operation switch is separated into the main body of the switch and the switch operating section, there is no need to use a waterproof switch when applying waterproofing, and it is sufficient to waterproof only the switch operating section, so it can be processed at low cost and has good waterproof properties. expensive.

Since the switch operating section biases the push button in the direction of the operating rod by a spring weaker than the spring of the switch main body, when the switch main body is turned on and the operating rod is self-maintained in the pressed state, the switch is activated. If the push button of the operating section is pulled outward against the spring and the cover is placed over the cover, the operating rod and the push rod of the push button will not stick together, making assembly easy.
