1 明 細 書 暖房便座 技術分野  1 Description Heating toilet seat Technical field
本発明は、 便座に加熱手段を内蔵した暖房便座に関するものである。 背景技術  The present invention relates to a heated toilet seat having a built-in heating means in the toilet seat. Background art
温水洗浄暖房便座装置や暖房便座装置の暖房便座においては、 図 8に示 すように、 便器本体の後部に装着固定される本体 1に対して便座 2が枢支 部 3を介して回動自在に装着されるとともに、 本体 1内の制御部 4と便座 2に内蔵された加熱手段 5とが電気コ ードによって接続されている。  As shown in Fig. 8, the toilet seat 2 is rotatable via the pivot 3 with respect to the main body 1 attached to the rear of the toilet body, as shown in Fig. 8 The control section 4 in the main body 1 and the heating means 5 built in the toilet seat 2 are connected by an electric cord.
ところで、 本体と便座が電気コードによって固定的に接続されたもので は、 便座の掃除ができるように枢支部で便座を取り外せるように構成され ていても、 電気コードで繋がっているため便座の自由度が限られ、 例えば 便座をトィレ室外に持ち出して洗ったりすることができず、 十分に清浄に することができないという問題があった。  By the way, if the main body and the toilet seat are fixedly connected by an electric cord, the toilet seat can be removed at the pivot so that the toilet seat can be cleaned. There was a problem that the toilet seat could not be taken out of the toilet room and washed, and it could not be sufficiently cleaned.
そこで、 便座 2を枢支部 3で本体 1から取り外すことができるように構 成するとともに、 図 9に示すように、 便座 2から延出された電気コード 6 の先端部にコネクタ 7を設け、 本体 1に設けられた差し込み穴に対して着 脱自在に接続できるようにし、 便座 2を本体 1から完全に分離して容易に 掃除できるようにしたものも提案されている (特開平 7— 1 0 0 0 8 3号 公報参照)。 なお、 図 9において、 8は便器本体、 9は便蓋である。  Therefore, the toilet seat 2 is configured so that it can be detached from the main body 1 by the pivot portion 3, and as shown in Fig. 9, a connector 7 is provided at the tip of the electric cord 6 extending from the toilet seat 2, It has been proposed that the toilet seat 2 can be detachably connected to the insertion hole provided in 1 and the toilet seat 2 can be completely separated from the main body 1 so that it can be easily cleaned (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-10 / 10). 0 083 Publication). In FIG. 9, reference numeral 8 denotes a toilet body, and reference numeral 9 denotes a toilet lid.
しかし、 このような構成でも、 便座 2に電気コード 6が接続されている ため、 掃除時に先端のコネクタ 7を便器本体 8などにぶっけたり、 掃除中 にコネクタ 7を水に水没させてしまう場合があるなど、 掃除時に気遣いし なければならないために掃除に煩わしさを感じ、 そのため掃除が怠られて 不衛生になり易いという問題がある。 However, even with such a configuration, since the electric cord 6 is connected to the toilet seat 2, the connector 7 at the tip may be hit on the toilet body 8 during cleaning, or the connector 7 may be submerged in water during cleaning. There is a need to take care when cleaning, so I feel annoyed with cleaning. There is a problem that it tends to be unsanitary.
そこで、 図 1 0に示すように、 便座 2の枢支部 3の軸部 5 0の端面 5 0 aから複数本の電極棒 5 1を突出させ、 本体 1側に設けた接続ケース 5 2 内に、 各電極棒 5 1を挿入可能なガイ ド穴 5 4とその奥に電極棒 5 1の先 端が接触する接続電極 5 5を有する接続部材 5 3を回転可能に収容した ものも考えられた。  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of electrode rods 51 protrude from the end face 50 a of the shaft 50 of the pivot portion 3 of the toilet seat 2, and are inserted into a connection case 52 provided on the main body 1. However, a connection member 53 having a guide hole 54 into which each electrode rod 51 can be inserted and a connection electrode 55 at the back of which a contact end of the electrode rod 51 comes into contact was also conceivable. .
しかしながら、 枢支部 3の結合時には軸部 5 0と接続部材 5 3の回転方 向の位置合わせが必要であり、 便座 2の他側の枢支部 (図示せず) でも便 座 2の回動制御機構又は開閉駆動機構 (図示せず) に対して着脱するため に位置合わせが必要であることと合わせて、 便座 2の両側で位置合わせが 必要となるため組付作業性が悪く、 また便座 2の回動に伴う軸部 5 0の僅 かな位置ぶれによっても、 複数本の電極棒 5 1の何れかと接続電極 5 5と の接触不良が発生し易く、 接続状態が安定しないという問題がある。  However, when the pivot portion 3 is connected, the shaft portion 50 and the connecting member 53 need to be aligned in the rotational direction, and the pivot control portion (not shown) on the other side of the toilet seat 2 also controls the rotation of the toilet seat 2. In addition to the necessity of positioning for attaching and detaching to and from the mechanism or the opening / closing drive mechanism (not shown), it is necessary to perform positioning on both sides of the toilet seat 2, so that the assembling workability is poor and the toilet seat 2 Even if the shaft portion 50 is slightly displaced by the rotation of the shaft, poor contact between any one of the plurality of electrode rods 51 and the connection electrode 55 is likely to occur, and the connection state is not stable.
また、 本体 1の側面に開口された枢支部 3の軸受穴の内側には、 接続部 材 5 3を内蔵した接続ケース 5 2が配設されているので、 掃除時に軸受穴 から接続ケース 5 2内に水などが侵入し、 短絡などを生じる恐れがあると いう問題がある。  Also, inside the bearing hole of the pivot portion 3 opened on the side surface of the main body 1, a connection case 52 containing a connection member 53 is provided. There is a problem that water etc. may enter the inside and cause a short circuit.
本発明は、 上記従来の問題点に鑑み、 本体から完全に分離することがで き、 本体と便座を枢支部で結合したときに電気的に安定した接続状態が得 られるとともに、 本体から便座を分離した時に接続開口から水などが浸入 するのを防止して本体内の接続部の保護を図った暖房便座を提供するこ とを目的とする。 発明の開示  In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention can be completely separated from the main body, provides an electrically stable connection state when the main body and the toilet seat are connected by the pivot, and separates the toilet seat from the main body.

また、 本発明の暖房便座は、 本体に枢支部を介して回動自在に装着され た便座に加熱手段を内蔵させ、 本体内に配設された制御部と加熱手段を接 続し、本体に、便座側の接続部材を揷入する接続開口を形成するとともに、 この接続開口を封口する位置に移動付勢された封口部材と、 接続部材の揷 入による封口部材の移動によって接続部材と接続される接続部とを設け たものであり、 便座を本体から分離するためその接続部材を接続開口から 抜き出すと、 封口部材が封口する位置に移動して接続開口が封口されるの で、 水などが接続開口から本体内の接続部に侵入するのを確実に防止でき、 本体内の接続部の保護を図ることができる。  Further, the heating toilet seat of the present invention has a built-in heating means in a toilet seat rotatably mounted on a main body via a pivot portion, connects a control unit disposed in the main body to the heating means, and connects the heating means to the main body. Forming a connection opening for inserting the connection member on the toilet seat side, connecting the connection member with the sealing member urged to move to a position for closing the connection opening, and moving the sealing member by insertion of the connection member. When the connection member is pulled out from the connection opening to separate the toilet seat from the main body, the connection opening is moved to the position where the sealing member seals and the connection opening is sealed, so that water etc. Intrusion into the connection portion in the main body from the connection opening can be reliably prevented, and the connection portion in the main body can be protected.
また、本体の接続開口を、便座の枢支軸を揷入する軸受穴と兼用すると、 接続開口を別に設ける必要がなく、 また枢支部の結合と接続を同時に行う ようにすることができて、 作業性を向上することができる。  Also, if the connection opening of the main body is also used as a bearing hole for inserting the pivot shaft of the toilet seat, there is no need to provide a separate connection opening, and the coupling and connection of the pivot portion can be performed simultaneously. Workability can be improved.
また、 便座側の接続部材は、 外周面又は端面又はその両方に接続電極が 設けられた軸部を備え、 封ロ部材は、 軸部が挿入される有底円筒状で軸部 の接続電極に弾性的に接触する接続部を有する筒状部にて移動可能に支 持されていると、 便座側の接続部材が軸部から成るので外面形状が単純で 掃除が容易で、 かつその軸部を本体側の筒状部に挿入することで接続でき るとともに軸部を抜き出すと封ロ部材にて接続開口が封口されるので、 掃 除時などの便座の着脱作業を作業性良く行うことができる。  Further, the connecting member on the toilet seat side includes a shaft portion provided with a connecting electrode on the outer peripheral surface and / or the end surface, and the sealing member has a bottomed cylindrical shape into which the shaft portion is inserted, and a connecting electrode on the shaft portion.

Since no current is supplied to the connecting portion unless the sealing member is moved by inserting the sealing member into the connection opening, the operation can be performed safely even when one electrode is provided on the sealing member.
また、 制御部を、 スィ ッチの作動状態が一定時間継続した後通電を開始 するように構成したり、 スィッチの作動後加熱手段との導通確認を行い、 導通確認後通電を開始するように構成すると、 掃除作業時などに不測に封 口部材が移動されるようなことがあっても、 直ちに接続部に通電されるこ とがないので、 一層安全に作業することができる。  In addition, the control unit may be configured so as to start energization after the operation state of the switch has continued for a certain period of time, or to check conduction with the heating means after operation of the switch, and to start energization after confirmation of conduction. With this configuration, even if the sealing member is unexpectedly moved during a cleaning operation or the like, the connection portion is not immediately energized, so that the operation can be performed more safely.
また、 以上の構成において、 軸部を移動可能に配設するとともに、 枢支 部の結合状態で軸部を筒状部内に揷入した位置に移動させる手段を設け ると、 枢支部を結合した後、 軸部を移動して接続することができるので、 便座の組み付け作業性が良くなる。 図面の簡単な説明  Further, in the above configuration, when the shaft portion is provided so as to be movable and a means for moving the shaft portion to a position inserted into the cylindrical portion in a state where the pivot portion is connected is provided, the pivot portion is connected. Later, the shaft can be moved and connected, which improves the workability of assembling the toilet seat. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

The connection configuration will be described.
図 1において、 便座 2の一側の枢支部 3における枢支軸 1 0の先端部に、 枢支軸 1 0の回転軸心と同心状の接触通電接続部 1 1が配設されている。 この接触通電接続部 1 1は、 枢支軸 1 0の先端部に一体的に設けられた軸 部 1 2と、 軸部 1 2が揷入されるように本体 1に装着固定された有底円筒 状の筒状部 1 3にて構成されている。 本体 1の内面には、 枢支軸 1 0が嵌 合する軸受穴 1 0 aの直径方向外側の 2箇所に取付ボス 1 aが突設され、 筒状部 1 3の外周に突設された取付部 1 3 aが取付ボス 1 aに嵌合され て取付ねじ 1 bにて締結固定されている。  In FIG. 1, a contact energizing connection portion 11 concentric with the rotation axis of the pivot shaft 10 is provided at the tip of the pivot shaft 10 in the pivot portion 3 on one side of the toilet seat 2. The contact current-carrying connection portion 11 includes a shaft portion 12 integrally provided at the tip of the pivot shaft 10, and a bottomed bottom mounted and fixed to the main body 1 so that the shaft portion 12 is inserted. It is composed of a cylindrical portion 13. On the inner surface of the main body 1, mounting bosses 1 a protrude at two diametrically outside bearing holes 10 a into which the pivot shaft 10 fits, and protrude from the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 13. The mounting part 13a is fitted to the mounting boss 1a and fastened and fixed with mounting screws 1b.
軸部 1 2には、 外周面の外周接続電極 1 4と端面中央部の端面接続電極 1 5とが設けられ、 これらがリード線 1 6を介して加熱手段 5に接続され ている。 筒状部 1 3には、 周壁から径方向内側に延出されて外周接続電極 1 4に弾性的に接触する一対の径方向弾性接続片 1 7と、 底壁 1 3 bの軸 芯位置に配置されかつ軸芯方向に弾性変位可能な軸方向弾性接続片 1 8 とが設けられ、 これらがリード線 1 9を介して制御部 4に接続されている。 一対の径方向弾性接続片 1 7は連結片 1 7 aにて相互に接続されている。 軸方向弾性接続片 1 8は、 本体 1の軸受穴 1 0 aを封口可能に軸芯方向に 移動可能に筒状部 1 3内に配設された封ロ部材 2 0の軸芯部に設けられ た接続端子 2 1を介して端面接続電極 1 5に弾性的に接触するように構 成されている。 The shaft portion 12 is provided with an outer peripheral connection electrode 14 on the outer peripheral surface and an end surface connection electrode 15 at the center of the end surface, and these are connected to the heating means 5 via a lead wire 16. The cylindrical portion 13 includes a pair of radial elastic connection pieces 17 extending radially inward from the peripheral wall and elastically contacting the outer peripheral connection electrode 14, and a shaft of the bottom wall 13 b. An axial elastic connection piece 18 is provided at the core position and is elastically displaceable in the axial direction, and these are connected to the control unit 4 via the lead wire 19. The pair of radial elastic connection pieces 17 are connected to each other by a connection piece 17a. The axial elastic connecting piece 18 is provided on the shaft core of the sealing member 20 disposed in the cylindrical portion 13 so that the bearing hole 10 a of the main body 1 can be moved in the axial direction so as to be able to close. It is configured to elastically contact the end face connection electrode 15 via the connection terminal 21 provided.
封ロ部材 2 0は、 筒状部 1 3の底壁 1 3 bから内側に向けて突設された ガイ ド筒 2 2の外周に摺動自在に嵌合されだ摺動筒部 2 3 とその一端に 連接された皿状の封口部 2 4にて構成されている。 封口部 2 4と底壁 1 3 bとの間に圧縮ばね 2 5が介装され、 図 3に示すように、 軸部 1 2を先端 に有する枢支軸 1 0を抜き出した時に、 封口部 2 4を軸受穴 1 0 aに圧接 嵌合して軸受穴 1 0 aを密封するように構成されている。 なお、 この状態 で径方向弾性接続片 1 7は封口部 2 4にて径方向外方に押圧されて退避 し、 封口部 2 4による密封動作を阻害することはない。  The sealing member 20 is provided with a sliding cylindrical portion 23 slidably fitted on the outer periphery of a guide cylinder 22 projecting inward from the bottom wall 13 b of the cylindrical portion 13. It is composed of a dish-shaped sealing portion 24 connected to one end thereof. A compression spring 25 is interposed between the sealing portion 24 and the bottom wall 13b, and as shown in FIG. 3, when the pivot shaft 10 having the shaft portion 12 at the tip is extracted, the sealing portion is formed. 24 is press-fitted into the bearing hole 10a to seal the bearing hole 10a. In this state, the radial elastic connecting piece 17 is pressed radially outward at the sealing portion 24 and retracts, and does not hinder the sealing operation by the sealing portion 24.
一方、 枢支軸 1 0を軸受穴 1 0 aに揷入して枢支部 3を結合すると、 封 口部材 2 0が軸部 1 2の先端で押されて圧縮ばね 2 5の付勢力に抗して 退入移動し、 その状態で、 図 1に示すように、 封口部 2 4は径方向弾性接 続片 1 7と干渉しない位置に移動して、 外周接続電極 1 4と径方向弾性接 続片 1 7が接触接続され、 かつ端面接続電極 1 5 と軸方向弹性接続片 1 8 が封口部 2 4の軸芯部に設けられた接続端子 2 1を介して接触接続され る。  On the other hand, when the pivot shaft 10 is inserted into the bearing hole 10a and the pivot portion 3 is connected, the sealing member 20 is pushed by the tip of the shaft portion 12 and resists the urging force of the compression spring 25. Then, as shown in Fig. 1, the sealing portion 24 moves to a position where it does not interfere with the radial elastic connection piece 17 and then the outer peripheral connection electrode 14 and the radial elastic contact. The connection piece 17 is contact-connected, and the end face connection electrode 15 and the axially directional connection piece 18 are contact-connected via the connection terminal 21 provided on the shaft core of the sealing portion 24.
また、 封ロ部材 2 0が退入移動した状態で、 筒状部 1 3の周壁の適所に 配設されたマイクロスイッチ 2 6が摺動筒部 2 3にて作動され、 制御部 4 と加熱手段 5の間の回路が閉成されるように構成されている。  Further, with the sealing member 20 retracted, the microswitch 26 disposed at an appropriate position on the peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion 13 is actuated by the sliding cylindrical portion 23, and the control portion 4 and the heating portion are heated. The circuit between the means 5 is configured to be closed.
また、 軸部 1 2の先端部外周に配設された Oリング 2 7 (シール手段) が封口部 2 4の先端部内周に圧接して外周接続電極 1 4の配置空間と端 面接続電極 1 5の配置空間を完全に遮断させて万一水などが侵入しても 短絡する恐れがないように構成されている。 Also, an O-ring 27 (sealing means) disposed on the outer periphery of the distal end of the shaft portion 12 is pressed against the inner periphery of the distal end of the sealing portion 24 to form a space between the outer connection electrode 14 and the end space. The space in which the surface connection electrodes 15 are arranged is completely shut off so that there is no danger of a short circuit if water or the like enters.
以上の構成によれば、 本体 1 と便座 2を枢支部 3で結合するため、 枢支 軸 1 0を軸受穴 1 0 aに挿入嵌合すると、 その先端の軸部 1 2が筒状部 1 3内に挿入され、 図 1に示すように、 外周接続電極 1 4に径方向弾性接続 片 1 7が弾性的に接触し、 また端面接続電極 1 5に封ロ部材 2 0の接続端 子 2 1を介して軸方向弾性接続片 1 8が弹性的に接触することで安定し た接続状態が確保され、 さらにマイクロスィッチ 2 6が作動することで、 本体 1の制御部 4と便座 2の加熱手段 5が接続され、 便座 2の加熱制御が 行われる。  According to the above configuration, since the main body 1 and the toilet seat 2 are connected by the pivot portion 3, when the pivot shaft 10 is inserted and fitted into the bearing hole 10a, the shaft portion 12 at the tip end becomes the cylindrical portion 1 As shown in FIG. 1, the radially elastic connection piece 17 elastically contacts the outer peripheral connection electrode 14 and the connection terminal 2 of the sealing member 20 contacts the end face connection electrode 15 as shown in FIG. A stable connection state is ensured by the elastic contact of the axial elastic connecting pieces 18 via 1, and the microswitch 26 operates to heat the control section 4 of the main body 1 and the toilet seat 2. The means 5 is connected, and the heating control of the toilet seat 2 is performed.
一方、 枢支軸 1 0を軸受穴 1 0 aから抜き出すと、 図 3に示すように、 軸部 1 2も筒状部 1 3から離脱するとともに、 封ロ部材 2 0が圧縮ばね 2 5の付勢力にて突出移動し、 その封口部 2 4にて軸受穴 1 0 aが封口され るとともにマイクロスィ ッチ 2 6が開成される。  On the other hand, when the pivot shaft 10 is pulled out from the bearing hole 10a, as shown in FIG. 3, the shaft portion 12 is also separated from the cylindrical portion 13 and the sealing member 20 is compressed by the compression spring 25. The protruding movement is performed by the urging force, and the bearing hole 10a is sealed at the sealing portion 24 and the micro switch 26 is opened.
また、 便座 2側の枢支部 3は、 先端に軸部 1 2を有する枢支軸 1 0が突 出しているだけの単純な外面形状であるとともに完全に密封された構成 となっているので、 便座 2全体を容易に洗浄することができる。  Further, the pivot 3 on the side of the toilet seat 2 has a simple outer surface shape in which a pivot 10 having a shaft 12 at its tip protrudes and has a completely sealed configuration. The entire toilet seat 2 can be easily washed.
かく して、 便座 2を枢支部 3の軸芯方向に移動させて枢支部 3の着脱動 作を行うことで接触通電接続部 1 1の接続 ·切断が行われるので、 本体 1 から便座 2を完全に分離することができるとともに組付性も極めて良く、 かつ接触通電接続部 1 1が枢支部 3 と同心状であることで本体 1 と便座 2を枢支部 3で結合したときに電気的に安定した接続状態を得ることが できる。  Thus, by moving the toilet seat 2 in the axial direction of the pivot portion 3 and performing the attachment / detachment operation of the pivot portion 3, the connection / disconnection of the contact energizing connection portion 1 1 is performed. It can be completely separated and is extremely easy to assemble.The contact-current connecting part 11 is concentric with the pivot part 3 so that when the main body 1 and the toilet seat 2 are connected by the pivot part 3, A stable connection state can be obtained.
