Abstract

A crushing means (40) is provided in a pool section (18) of a toilet body (20). The crushing means (40) has a crushing mechanism (40A). The crushing mechanism (40A) is a cutter mechanism and has cutter members (41). Each cutter member (41) has cutter blades arranged in the direction of its rotation axis. Cutter blades of adjacent cutter members mate with each other with a small gap held between them. Because the cutter members can cut and crush excrements etc. including tissue paper into fine pieces, the excrements etc. (solid objects) are turned into fluid objects by the crushing. As they are fluid, the objects can be easily discharged. As a result, even if a hardly soluble material such as tissue paper is used, clogging of a discharge pipe can be prevented.

Description

Toilet equipment Technical Field

The present invention relates to a toilet apparatus that can be applied to a fixed Western toilet, a portable simple Western toilet, and the like. Specifically, a crushing means for crushing excrement etc. is provided in the reservoir part of the toilet bowl body, and a cutting mechanism that cuts and crushes is used as this crushing means, so that it is not limited to defecation but is a slightly soluble tissue. It relates to toilet equipment that can cut and crush paper, etc., so that they are suitable for discharge to sewer pipes.

Background art

The current Western-style toilet has a reservoir that collects trapped water at the bottom of the toilet body, and defecates in the trapped trap water, together with water-soluble toilet paper (hereinafter referred to as excrement). Is discharged together with the trap water to the sewer pipe side (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-304-04).

Regarding paper used in Western toilets, attention is often paid to use toilet paper (water-soluble paper) as much as possible. This is to recommend the use of water-soluble toilet paper as the paper to prevent clogging in the toilet bowl and sewer pipes. Recently, in addition to this type of toilet paper, water-soluble paper can be used in Western toilets. For example, water-soluble tissue paper that can be used in Western-style toilets is commercially available.

On the other hand, a portable simple Western toilet is known instead of a fixed Western toilet (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2 00 0-3 2 5 2 8). This portable, simple Western-style toy was developed for elderly people who need nursing care and for people who are physically disabled and have difficulty in going to existing toilets (such as Western-style toilets) in their homes. .

This portable, simple Western-style toilet is configured as a chair so that it can be easily installed in a living room, and can be used by sitting on a chair. A simple Western-style toilet has a fixed structure. It is almost the same as the Western style toilet. For this reason, simple toilets use a toilet body that has a reservoir to collect trap water, and after use, excreta and the like are discharged together with the trap water.

Even in such a simple Western-style toilet, the paper that can be used is water-soluble paper such as toilet paper so that the excrement etc. is not clogged in the toilet body or the discharge pipe. In addition, there are some which are provided with a crushing means in the toilet body to facilitate the discharge (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-018585).

'By the way, in Western toilets that use wash water as described above, it is recommended not to use anything other than the toilet paper provided in order to discharge excrement etc. together with the trap water without crushing the toilet body. However, there are cases where things other than those provided are still used.

For example, there is tissue paper. If you dispose of the tissue paper inside the toilet bowl in a condensed state, for example by rolling the tissue paper, it is easy to cause an accident that could clog the toilet bowl or sewer pipe (discharge pipe).

If water-soluble tissue paper is used in large quantities, a similar accident is likely to occur. In addition, toilet facilities in public places, etc. are used by an unspecified number of people. For toilet facilities, there is a need for improvement measures for the treatment of used sanitary products. As an example of this improvement, water-soluble sanitary products that can be used in existing toilet facilities are sold, but they were water-soluble when used with toilet paper. However, since it takes time until water (wash water such as trap water) penetrates, solidity does not collapse and it cannot be safely discharged. This problem is the same for simple Western-style toilets.

Since Patent Document 3 discloses a configuration in which a simple Western-style toilet is provided with powder mashing means, it is conceivable to employ this configuration in the above-described fixed-type Western-style toilet. However, since this crushing means is a crusher that uses only the rotating blades with the force to use the rotating blades on its side, not only excrement but also water-soluble paper such as toilet paper. It is not enough to grind the kind. Therefore, normal When using tissue paper together, there is a risk of processing exceeding the grinding capacity. Therefore, it is likely to be discharged in a solid state including excreta, which is insufficient to improve clogging of the toilet bowl and sewer pipe. Even in the case of a simple Western-style toilet instead of a fixed type, it is considered that the same problem as that of a fixed-type Western toilet is caused by simply using a crushing means as in Patent Document 3. Disclosure of the invention

The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and comprises a toilet body having a reservoir at the bottom, and pulverizing means provided to be submerged in trap water trapped in the reservoir. ,

The crushing means is composed of a crushing mechanism portion having a cutter blade and a driving means for driving the crushing mechanism portion. By driving the crushing mechanism portion, excrement dropped in the reservoir portion is cut and crushed. Is.

By providing a crushing means for crushing excrement such as defecation in the reservoir part of the toilet body, and using a cutter mechanism (crushing mechanism part) that can be cut and crushed as this crushing means, not only for defecation, Even when sparingly soluble tissue paper is used, it can be cut and crushed so as to be suitable for discharge into a sewer pipe.

The present invention can be applied not only to a fixed Western-style toilet but also to a portable simple Western-style toilet that is assumed to be used indoors.

The crushing means has a cutter function, and is composed of a powder kneading mechanism section (a cutter mechanism section) and its driving means. The powdering mechanism can be roughly divided into two types. One of them is a case where the grinding mechanism part is composed of a plurality of cutter members that rotate with respect to each other, and the other is as a grinding mechanism part, a fixed guide member and a cutter attached thereto. It is a case where it comprises with a member (rotating member).

The powder kneading mechanism is composed of four force cutter members arranged side by side so as to be held together. The cutter member is constructed by attaching a plurality of disc-shaped cutter blades in the longitudinal direction (rotating axis direction) with a predetermined interval, and force cutter blades of adjacent cutter members are mutually connected. It arrange | positions so that it may rub on the side part side. The degree to rub is arbitrary. When using almost straight type cutter members, the cutter blades are almost the same size, so make sure they are in the longitudinal direction! : Match each other with the same joint depth. When the cutter member is an almost straight type and an almost string type, the way the cutter blades mate gradually changes in the longitudinal direction. In this case, the central part of the cutter member nestle most shallowly. . In this combination, when the cutter member that is almost thread-shaped is mated with another cutter member, force cutter members that are straight-shaped are mated at the approximate center of the mating area between the cutter members. A deeper recess is formed, and the outer shape of the tooth tip of the force cutter member, which is substantially in the shape of a yarn hook, is curved as a whole from both ends toward the center. For this reason, excrement etc. becomes easy to gather in this recess, and excrement etc. can be cut and crushed effectively.

The cutting method of the grinding mechanism is straight cut, cross cut or spiral cut. It is arbitrary which cutter blade is used, but the cross-cut method is illustrated. By using this cutter blade, in addition to defecation as waste, etc., even when tissue paper or other insoluble materials that are relatively difficult to crush are included, these wastes are effectively cut. Can be destroyed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent accidents such as clogging of the toilet bowl or sewage pipe.

The toilet body is provided with a reduced diameter part (annular flange) that is smaller in diameter than the opening of the toilet body at the upper part of the filth reservoir, and an open / close lid that closes the reduced diameter part and excrement etc. are pumped For this purpose, a pumping means can be provided. In this case, when dirt or the like falls onto the opening / closing lid, the opening / closing lid is separated from the edge of the diameter-reduced portion by its weight, and the dirt automatically falls into the reservoir due to its own weight. Is preferred. By means of a pumping means, excrement etc. can be pumped to the discharge pipe connected to the sewer pipe of the existing toilet. The lid is particularly convenient when applied to a simple Western-style toilet, as it can eliminate the scent of stool. Brief Description of Drawings

Subsequently, a preferred embodiment of a toilet apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The embodiment shown below is a case where the toilet apparatus according to the present invention is applied to a simple Western-style toilet on the premise that it is used in a living room. Even if it is used in a living room, a Western-style toilet equipped with a so-called warm-water-washing toilet seat with a butt-cleaning function is preferable, as with a fixed Western-style toilet. However, in the following explanation, explanation of the equipment for the hot water flush toilet seat is omitted. (Example 1)

Fig. 16 is an application example of the present invention. In this example, an existing toilet (fixed Western-style toilet) 3 is installed facing the corridor 2 of the house 1. In the existing toilet 3, a toilet 4 and a flush water tank 5 are installed. In this example, a room 6 as a bedroom is located along the corridor 2, and a bed 7 is placed in the room 6, for example. The simple Western-style toilet 10 is provided with water supply means and discharge means, the water supply means is connected to the water supply, and the discharge means is connected to the sewer pipe (sewer). Normally, the water supply means (water supply hose 1 2) and the discharge means (discharge hose 1 4) are connected to the water supply pipe and discharge pipe (sewage pipe) of the existing toilet 4 respectively. '

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an essential part showing an example when the present invention is applied to a simple Western-style toilet 10. This simple Western-style toilet 10 has a toilet body 20. The toilet body 20 has a funnel-like cross-sectional shape that is almost the same as a normal flush toilet (Western-style toilet), but its overall shape is configured as a box. In recent years, an interior element has been requested, and not only a box shape but also a chair type with an armrest, for example, is used.

In order to reduce the weight of the toilet body 20, the toilet body 20 is a molded product made of plastic in this example, but may be molded using other materials such as ceramics. A toilet seat 21 is positioned on the upper opening side of the toilet body 20, and a toilet lid 23 that closes the toilet seat 21 and the upper opening is provided.

The bottom of the toilet body 20 becomes a reservoir 18 for trap water (reserved water) or excrement. An S-shaped trap part (exhaust part) 2 2 is provided that communicates with the reservoir part 1 8 and has a cross-section of “H”. The exhaust hose 1 4 is connected to the outlet 2 7 at the end. . A connecting part 26 related to the discharge port 2 7 is provided on the rear face 20 b of the toilet body 20, and an electromagnetic valve 24 functioning as an opening / closing valve is provided inside the toilet body 20. It is provided close to. In addition to the shape shown in the figure, the “H” shape of the S-shaped trap portion 2 2 communicating with the reservoir portion 18 can be P-shaped, U-shaped, and saddle-shaped. These shapes can obtain the same effects.

The solenoid valve 24 is controlled to open only when the trap water (water containing waste) in the reservoir 18 is discharged outside the toilet, and is closed when the toilet is not in use. It is provided mainly to prevent water leakage.

In the vicinity of the upper part of the toilet body 20, a flush water supply port 28 is provided on the wall surface 18 a of the S-shaped trap portion 22. A connecting pipe 30 is disposed between the connecting part 3 4 provided on the back face 20 b of the main body and the water supply port 28. Connecting pipe 3 0 branch pipe is used, it is connected to the _d connecting portion 3 4 solenoid valve 3 2 is Ri attached taken for controlling the washing water to the connecting pipe 3 0 of While toward the water inlet 2 8 Supply water from the water hose 1 2 This is to allow control by the magnetic valve 3 2.

A washing hose (washing pipe) 2 40 is also connected to the other branched pipe 30 via a solenoid valve 33. The tip of the cleaning hose 240 is provided so as to protrude above the water surface of the trap water in the reservoir 18. By the water injection (actually jetting) by the cleaning hose 2 40, the inside of the reservoir 18 and the back surface of the opening / closing lid 2 1 2 are cleaned as will be described later.

A rubber-like water leakage prevention pipe 29 is inserted between the water supply port 28 and the wall surface 18a, and the water leakage prevention pipe 2 4 2 is also provided in the reservoir portion 18 through which the washing hose 24 40 passes. Intervention prevents leakage to the outside.

A means for crushing excrement etc. 40 is provided at a portion of the reservoir 18 where trap water is stored. Grinding means 40 is used to cut excrement and toilet paper collected in the reservoir 18 (hereinafter collectively referred to as excrement etc.) * Break down to make the solids as small as possible and flowable if possible For this purpose, the crushed excrement etc. is discharged through a space between the pulverizing means 40 and the bottom wall of the reservoir 18 and mixed with the trap water. Crushing means 4 to cut and crush not only excreta but also other things dropped in the reservoir 1 8 (toilet paper, tissue paper including water-soluble, sanitary products, etc.) into appropriate sizes As 0, a cutter mechanism (powder mechanism) is adopted. Therefore, the crushing means 40 is composed of a crushing mechanism section 40 A and its driving means 40 B (see FIG. 3). As shown in FIG. 2, the crushing mechanism 4 O A is composed of a plurality of cutter members 4 1 (4 1 A, 4 1 B,...). As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cutter member 4 1 has a plurality of cutter blades 4 3 (4 3 A, 4 3 B, 4 3 C,... In the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the rotating shaft 4 2. ·) Are arranged in a large number with a predetermined interval ΔL.

As shown in FIG. 4, the cutter blade 4 3 has a disk shape, and a plurality of wedge-shaped blade portions 4 7 (4 7 a, 4 7 b, · · · · Have). In this example, steel is used for the tips of the blades 4 7 a, 4 7 b,..., But the whole may be made of stainless steel.

Each of the cutter blades 43 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 48 inside the blade portion 47 and holding a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction thereof. These through holes 48 Since the pulverized fluid such as trap water can be circulated between the left and right side surfaces of the blade 43, excrement and the like can be discharged smoothly.

In this way, the cutter member 41 composed of a plurality of cutter blades 43 is provided side by side as shown in FIG. The number of simultaneous lines is determined by the size of the internal space of the reservoir 18, and the outer diameter of the cutter blade 4 3 is determined by the depth of the reservoir 18. In the example of FIG. 2, the crushing mechanism 4 O A is configured by arranging four cutter members 41 in parallel. When the cutter members 4 1 are connected to each other, the adjacent cutter blades 4 1 and 4 1's cutter blades 4 3 and 4 3 can be easily cut even if they use ductile materials. The cutter blades 43 are arranged in a staggered manner so that they rub against each other with a slight gap on their side surfaces. In the case where a small gap is provided so as to rub against each other, the thickness is preferably about 0.05 mm. The cutting depth of the cutter blades 4 3 that interleave each other is arbitrary, but they are arranged so that they can be held together with an appropriate depth for efficient cutting and crushing. For example, the blade parts 47 are arranged so that the length (radial direction) of the blade parts 47 is 13 to 12.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rotary shaft 4 2 provided on the plurality of cutter members 4 1 A to 4 1 D is externally connected via bearings 4 2 a and 4 2 b provided on the side wall of the reservoir 18. Is derived. The bearings 4 2 a and 4 2 b shall be provided with measures to prevent water leakage.

A driving means 4 OB as shown in FIG. 3 is provided on the rotating shaft 4 2 on the bearing portion 4 2 b side. The drive means 40 B is composed of a rotation transmission means 44 provided on the rotary shaft 42 and a drive motor 46. The drive motor 46 is fixed to the bottom plate 20 c of the toilet body 20, and the rotational force of the motor shaft 46 a is transmitted to the plurality of cutter members 41 via the rotation transmission means 44. As shown in FIG. 5, the rotation transmission means 44 is disposed so that gears 44 A to 44 D provided on the respective rotation shafts of the cutter members 41 A to 41 D are engaged with each other. The gear 4 4 E associated with the drive motor 4 6 is in particular meshed with an intermediate gear, in this example gear 4 4 B.

When the rotation transmitting means 44 is configured in this way, when the gear 4 4 E rotates clockwise as indicated by an arrow, the other gears 4 4 A to 4 4 D rotate as indicated by arrows. In other words, the cutter members 4 1 A and 4 1 B act as a pair of force cutter mechanisms, Rotate in the direction of chewing (biting in). Similarly, between the other cutter members 4 1 C and 4 1 D, these function as a pair of force cutter mechanisms and rotate in the direction of biting.

In addition, the cutter blades 43 are squeezed together with a small gap, and each force cutter blade 43 of the cutter member 41 is provided with a plurality of blade portions 47, so that the pulverization is performed. Mechanism 4 OA functions as a cross-cut mechanism. When the cutter member 41 is driven to rotate, the excrement and the like are cut and crushed while being inserted into the cutter blade 43, so the excrement and the like are cut very finely and then crushed finely. As a result, the tissue paper as well as the toilet paper dropped into the reservoir 18 are finely cut (cross cut).

In addition to this, the pulverizing means 40, in particular, the pulverizing mechanism 4OA is submerged in the trap water, so that the powder mashing mechanism 4OA is driven in water. As a result, the trap water penetrates the excrement and is pulverized with the trap water penetrating, so that the excrement is more easily pulverized. If a sanitary product or the like is water-soluble, it can be cut relatively easily by cutting using the action of the permeated water.

As shown in FIG. 1, a control unit 50 made of CPU or the like is arranged on the inner side (upper surface side) of the bottom plate 20 c. Each drive of the electromagnetic valve for discharge 24, the electromagnetic valve for water supply 32, 33, the motor 46, etc. described above is controlled by the control unit 50 at a predetermined timing for a predetermined time. A power switch 52 for the control unit 50 is provided on the main body rear surface 20 b and is an upper surface of the main body, and an opening / closing switch 55 (described later) is provided on the lower surface of the toilet lid 23. .

The following mechanism is further employed in the simple Western-style toilet 10 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, a predetermined compressed air is supplied to the reservoir 18 at a predetermined position above the reservoir 18 in the toilet body 20 and below the water supply port 28. There is provided powder feeding means 2 0 0. A diameter-reduced portion 2 30 is provided at the upper portion of the reservoir portion 18 and slightly above the mounting position of the pressure feeding means 20. An open / close lid mechanism 2 10 is provided on the lower surface of the reduced diameter portion 2 3 0 so that the reduced diameter portion 2 3 0 can be closed and the reservoir portion 1 8 can be sealed.

The pressure feeding means 2 0 0 can be composed of an air compressor. A feed pipe 20 0 4 for the reservoir 20 0 is led out to the reservoir 18 side through the attachment means 2 0 6. The attachment means 2 0 6 is installed above the surface of the trap water in the reservoir 1 8. The air compressor 20 0 is fixed to a mounting plate 20 2 provided in the back space 20 a of the toilet body 20.

Even if the toilet body 20 is not equipped with an air compressor 200, but a mechanism that takes in compressed air from the outside of the simple western toilet body, the same effect can be expected.

The reduced diameter portion 2 30 is configured as an annular flange portion, and protrudes by a predetermined length toward the inner surface of the reservoir portion 18. The above-described feed pipe 20 4 is located between the trap water in the reservoir portion 18 and the reduced diameter portion 2 30.

As is apparent from FIG. 1, the reduced diameter portion 2 30 is provided so that the entire portion thereof is slightly inclined toward the S-shaped trap portion 2 2 side. On the lower surface side of the reduced diameter portion 2 3 0, an opening / closing lid mechanism 2 1 0 is provided so as to close the reduced diameter portion 2 3 0. As the opening / closing lid mechanism 210, a rotating type and a sliding type can be considered. The example in Fig. 1 is a rotary type.

In this example, since it is a rotary type, it has a lid main body 2 1 2 that constitutes the opening / closing lid mechanism 2 1 0, and one end of this lid main body 2 1 2, in the example shown in the figure, the right end is the rotational shaft portion 2. The pivot shaft 2 1 4 is pivotally supported with respect to the toilet body 20 so that the pivot shaft 2 1 4 is positioned on the lower surface 2 3 2 of the reduced diameter portion 2 3 0. This pivotal support is pivotally supported by the toilet body 20 in a watertight manner.

The lid main body 2 1 2 is urged so that the peripheral surface thereof is in contact with the lower surface edge 2 3 4 of the reduced diameter portion 2 30. The lid body 2 1 2 has a shape along the lower surface edge 2 3 4, and usually the rotating shaft portion so that the inside of the pool portion 1 8 can be sealed by contacting the lower surface edge 2 3 4. A biasing spring 2 1 6 is wound around the wall surface of 2 1 4 and the lower surface 2 3 2. For this reason, the crushing means 40 is shielded by the lid body 21 and the occurrence of a sense of harm caused by the provision of the crushing means 40 can be suppressed.

Here, as described above, the diameter-reduced portion 2 30 is provided so as to be slightly inclined toward the S-shaped trap portion 22, so the lid body 2 1 2 itself constituting the opening / closing lid mechanism 2 10 is also S-shaped trap part 2 Mounted at an angle to the 2 side. If the lid body 2 1 2 is mounted at an angle in this way, the waste that has fallen onto the top surface of the lid body 2 1 2 as shown in FIG. It can be dropped into the reservoir 18 without leaving excrement (broken line). The cleaning hose 24 0 described above has its tip end in the reservoir 18 at an angle so that cleaning water can be sprayed onto both the back side of the lid body 2 12 and a part of the peripheral surface of the reservoir 18. Attached to. In this example, as shown in FIG. 1, the lid body 2 12 is in the vicinity of the rotating shaft portion 2 14 and attached and fixed to the lower side thereof in a liquid-tight manner.

The toilet body 20 thus configured is connected to a water supply hose 12 and a discharge hose 14, and they are led to an existing toilet 3.

Figure 7 shows an overview of the existing toilet 3.

FIG. 7 illustrates an existing toilet 4 equipped with a warm water flush toilet seat 80. In this case, a branch pipe 8 4 is connected to a water pipe (water supply pipe) 8 2, and a first branch port 8 6 is provided on the water pipe 8 2 side of the branch pipe 8 4, where a warm water washing toilet seat is provided. Hose 8 7 is connected. A second branch port 88 is provided closer to the end than the first branch port 86, and a hose 89 for washing water is connected thereto.

In this example, a branch pipe 8 4 having such a branch configuration is used, a check valve 90 is installed between the first and second branch ports 8 6 and 8 8, and the branch pipe 8 4 A connecting portion 9 2 for the water supply hose 1 2 is provided at the end. A connecting portion 6 O A provided at the tip of the water supply hose 12 is connected to the connecting portion 92. The check valve 90 is shown in abbreviated form so that its function can be understood.

Thus, by providing a new branch pipe 84 and attaching a water supply hose 12 thereto, washing water can be supplied to the simple Western-style toilet 10. The check valve 90 was installed between the first and second branch ports 8 6 and 8 8 because hot water washes even if the water from the hose 8 9 or the water supply hose 12 2 flows backward. This is to prevent mixing with the water supplied to the toilet seat.

At the end of the branch pipe 84, a tank 96 filled with the disinfectant is attached to the connecting part for the disinfectant. By using the disinfectant, it is possible to improve the sanitary condition of the simple toilet 10 as well as the existing toilet 3. In addition, the discharge hose 14 can be cleaned at the same time. The tank 96 does not necessarily have to be provided, and may be provided as needed.

In this way, if the existing toilet water distribution system is diverted, only the branch pipe 8 4 can be attached. 1

A simple Western-style toilet can be used for simple expansion work.

The discharge hose 1 4 may be piped so that it can be discharged directly into the discharge pipe, for example, the discharge pipe in the existing toilet 3, but simply, the discharge hose 1 4 is led to the toilet 4 and sewage is put into the toilet 4 It is pouring directly. Alternatively, the toilet 4 is provided with a discharge outlet for discharge, and a discharge hose 14 is connected to the toilet 4 to discharge it into the toilet 4.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is an example in which the connecting portion 11 14 provided in the toilet 4 is connected. In this case, the toilet body 1 0 8 is improved. As shown in FIG. 8, the toilet main body 10 8 has a discharge pipe 110, but this toilet main body 10 8 is provided with a discharge outlet 1 1 2 on the upper side of the reservoir, The connecting part 6 2 B of the discharge hose 14 is connected to the connecting part 1 1 4 provided on the back side.

When the existing toilet 4 is improved in this way, there is a difference in height between the simple Western-style toilet 10 and this existing toilet 4, and when the toilet 4 is located at a higher position, there is a fluid in the discharge hose 14. May stay. Therefore, the pressure of the above-described air compressor 20 0 is adjusted so that the fluid can be completely discharged from the discharge hose 14. Although not shown, a closing lid is provided to close the upper part of the reservoir, including the discharge outlet 1 1 2, and the closing lid is closed in connection with the discharge process of the simple Western toilet 10. You can also. In that case, the closing lid is preferably electrically operated.

In this way, when water is supplied and discharged using the existing toilet 3, the supply and discharge pipes shown in Fig. 9 and below are used. FIG. 9 shows an example of a water supply hose 12 and FIG. 10 shows an example of a discharge hose 14. When one end 1 2 a of the water supply hose 1 2 is an end connected to the water supply pipe side and the other end 1 2 b is an end connected to the simple Western-style toilet 10, one end 1 2 a and Connecting portions 6 OA and 60 B with check valves are respectively attached to the other end portions 1 2 b.

Similarly, the discharge hose 14 is provided with connecting portions 6 2 A and 6 2 B with check valves at one end 14 a and the other end 14 b. In this case, one end portion 14 a is an end portion connected to the simple Western toilet 10 side, and the other end portion 14 b is an end portion connected to the sewer pipe side or the like.

The water supply hose 1 2 is used for washing water supplied to the toilet body 20. Therefore, a small diameter bull hose can be used. On the other hand, since the discharge hose 14 is a flow of crushed waste in the pipe, use a vinyl hose with the same diameter as the water supply hose 12 or slightly thicker. You can. This is not for solid waste, but for handling fluids mixed with clean water. FIG. 10 shows a case where a discharge hose 14 having a diameter larger than that of the water supply hose 12 is used.

If the pipe diameters of the water supply hose 1 2 and the discharge hose 1 4 are selected, for example, as described above, the thickness is originally different, so the water supply hose 1 2 can be used as a discharge hose or the discharge hose 1 4 It is possible to reliably prevent rudimentary misconnections that are mistakenly connected to the water supply hose. Of course, not only when pipes with different pipe diameters are used, but also when pipes with the same pipe diameter are used, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. By imprinting the name “discharge hose” on the surface of the hose, it is possible to reliably prevent misconnection. In addition, misconnection can be prevented by making the joint metal shape of the connection part non-common. Furthermore, the color of the water supply hose 1 2 and the discharge hose 14 can be changed to prevent misconnection by color.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the connecting portion 60 (62) with a check valve is provided with a valve working chamber 64 having a rectangular cross section in the hollow inner portion of the main body 63, and a sphere that serves as a valve here. 6 5 and a press panel 6 6 are provided, and the valve is opened when water pressure acts in the direction of arrow a. This prevents backflow from both the simple Western-style toilet side and the water and sewage pipe side.

On the other hand, in the case of the other connecting part 60 B (62 B) of the connecting parts 60 (62), when this is connected to the simplified Western-style toilet side, for example, the sewer pipe side of the existing toilet, By providing convex parts (not shown) in which the stop valve spheres 6 5 recede against the pressure panel 6 6 on the simple Western-style toilet side and the sewer pipe side, the connecting part 6 0 (6 2) When the valve is connected, the internal valve is opened to establish a communication state. When the connection is removed, the internal valve is closed so that the liquid in the hose does not leak outside.

Therefore, with the connecting part 6 OA of the water supply hose 12 attached to the water supply pipe and the connecting part 60 B attached to the toilet body 20 side, the water inside the pipe will not flow out even if the connecting part 6 OA is removed. Even if the other connecting part 60 B is removed, water inside the pipe will not flow out. Les. Similarly, even if the drainage hose 14 in use is removed, the sewage inside the pipe will not flow out.

FIG. 12 shows an example of control in the control unit 50 provided in the simple Western-style toilet 10. The toilet body 20 described above is provided with a power switch 52 and an open / close switch 55, and these ON / OFF signals are supplied to the control unit 50.

The power switch 5 2 is turned on when the simplified Western toilet 10 is installed. On the other hand, the open / close switch 55 is a switch that is turned on / off in relation to the opening / closing of the toilet lid 2 3 for closing the upper part of the toilet seat 21. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, in this example, an open / close switch 5 5 (open / close detection sensor switch or the like) is attached to the lower surface of the toilet lid 23 so as to face the toilet lid 23. In the example of FIG. 1, a drain switch 2 44 is provided on the rear side of the upper surface of the toilet body 20.

The discharge solenoid valve 24, the water supply solenoid valve 32, the washing solenoid valve 33, the grinding drive motor 46, and the air compressor 20. Each driving state of 0 is controlled.

Figures 13A to 13E show examples of control timing. In the case of this simple Western-style toilet 10, when the toilet is not in use, the lid body 2 12 which is an opening / closing lid is in a closed state.

The simple Western-style toilet 1 0 is used with the toilet lid 2 3 opened. The opening operation of the toilet lid 2 3 is detected by an open / close switch 5 5 (open / close detection sensor switch, etc.) (Fig. 13 A). Add while the stool lid 2 3 is open. When excrement falls on the lid body 2 1 2, the lid body 2 1 2 opens due to its own weight, and the excrement falls into the trap water in the reservoir 18 (see FIG. 6). When the excrement falls, the lid body 2 1 2 automatically closes. This is because the lid body 2 1 2 is always urged toward the reduced diameter portion 2 3 0 side. Close the stool lid 2 3 when you have finished defecation (Fig. 1 3 A). When it is determined that the lid is closed, the excreta is crushed (cut and crushed) over the period Ta (Fig. 13 B). Instead of detecting the operation of closing the toilet lid 23, the start switch corresponding to the opening / closing switch 55 may be operated manually to start the dusting process. Grinding time Ta is selected to be enough to grind dirt, toilet paper, tissue paper, etc. Usually less than 20 seconds, preferred Alternatively, the time is set to about 5 to 10 seconds. This is for cutting and crushing sufficiently so that no solid matter remains.

When the pulverization process is completed, the air compressor 200 is driven, and compressed air is fed into the reservoir 18 and pressurized (FIG. 13E). The pressurization processing time Tb is set to a time for the internal pressure in the reservoir 18 to rise to a predetermined value (for example, 2 atm). The predetermined value of the internal pressure refers to a pressure at which fluid can be reliably pumped and discharged into the existing toilet 4 via the discharge hose 14. The time T b during which the internal pressure of the reservoir 18 becomes a predetermined value is set in advance, and this time T b is counted.

When the pressurization time T b elapses, the discharge solenoid valve 24 is driven while the air compressor 20 0 is driven, that is, with compressed air being fed into the reservoir 18 (see FIG. 1 3 D). When the discharge solenoid valve 2 4 is driven and the discharge port 2 7 is opened, excrement etc. (fluid) in the reservoir 1 8 is pumped together with the trap water by compressed air, and the discharge hose 1 Discharged to 4 惻. Since the discharge hose 14 is connected to the existing toilet 4, the excrement and the like cut and crushed by the crushing means 40 are discharged to the existing toilet 4 side.

The pumping period T c varies depending on the installation length of the discharge hose 14, but in order to prevent excrement etc. from remaining in the discharge hose 14, it is usually a relatively long time, for example, 10 to 3 Set to about 0 seconds.

When the pumping period Tc elapses, energization to the discharge solenoid valve 24 is released and the drive of the air compressor 20 0 is stopped (FIG. 13D, FIG. 13E). This closes the outlet 2 7. Thereafter, the water supply solenoid valve 3 2 is actuated to start water supply into the reservoir 18 (FIG. 13C). The water supply time Td is set to a water injection time in which the trap water in the reservoir 18 becomes a predetermined amount. Here, the predetermined amount refers to the amount of water stored until the surface of the trap water exceeds the bent portion of the S-shaped trap portion 22. When the water injection to the reservoir 1 8 is completed, it enters a standby state.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 13C, the electromagnetic valve for cleaning 33 is also operated in synchronization with the operation of the electromagnetic valve for water supply 32 (not shown). When this solenoid valve 3 3 is activated, water is injected into the reservoir 18 through the washing hose 24 40, specifically, spraying to the back surface of the lid body 2 1 2 and to the wall of the reservoir 18 Is injected. This wash Since the back surface of the lid body 2 1 2 and the wall surface of the reservoir portion 18 are cleaned by the jet of clean water, the interior of the lid body 2 1 2 and the reservoir portion 18 can always be kept clean. Rather than supplying water into the reservoir 1 8 and cleaning the lid body 2 1 2 etc. at the same time, before supplying water into the reservoir 1 8 It is also possible to carry out the cleaning process from the beginning and to simultaneously pump and discharge the cleaning water at that time. In this case, water supply into the reservoir 18 is performed after the solenoid valve 24 is closed.

When the portable simple Western toilet 10 is moved or removed, it is preferable that the trap water in the reservoir 18 is discharged. This draining process is performed independently of the above-described draining process. In that case, as shown in FIG. 14A to FIG. 14C, the water drain switch 2 4 4 is turned on and the air compressor 20 0 is operated (FIG. 14 A, FIG. 14 B). When the air compressor 20 0 is started, the inside of the reservoir 18 is pressurized (FIG. 14C). When the pressurization process over the period T f is completed, the discharge solenoid valve 24 is activated and the discharge port is opened for a predetermined period T g (FIG. 13B).

The trapped water can be discharged from the pool portion 18 by this pressure and pressure feeding. Then, after the drive of the air compressor 200 is stopped, the discharge solenoid valve 24 is closed after a young period of time ΔΤf. This completes the trap water discharge process (water drain process). Here, the period T f may be set to the above-described time T b, and the period T g may be set to the time T c.

7 and 8 show an example in which the connecting part 1 1 4 is provided in the existing toilet 4 and the discharge hose 1 4 is connected to this, but the simplest example is the discharge hose 1 4 itself as shown in FIG. Is to guide the toilet seat 1 1 8 into the toilet body 1 0 8 with the lower surface of the toilet seat 1 1 8 hidden. In this case, the discharge pressure can be reduced by widening the tip of the discharge hose 14 as shown in FIG.

(Example 2)

FIG. 17 shows another combination example of the cutter member 41. In the case of FIG. 2, all four are substantially straight cutter members 41. Here, the almost straight type means that the size (outer shape) of the cutter blade 4 3 constituting the cutter member 41 is the same. The case where it is composed is generically named.

FIG. 17 shows a case where the crushing mechanism 4 O A is configured using this substantially straight type force cutter member and a so-called substantially thread-type force cutter member. Here, the “nearly thread-shaped” means that the size (outer diameter) of the cutter blade 4 3 constituting the cutter member 41 is directed in the longitudinal direction (rotational axis direction), and both ends of the cutter member 41 have a large diameter. In addition, the force cutter members of a type in which the diameter of the cutter member 41 gradually changes from the both end sides to the central portion of the force cutter member 41 so as to gradually become smaller are collectively referred to.

In the example of FIG. 17, the first and third force cutter members 4 1 A and 4 1 C are almost straight types, and the second and fourth cutter members 4 1 B and 4 1 D are almost yarn-type. It is a type. Even in this case, the length of the fourth cutter member 41D is shorter than the other members in accordance with the shape of the reservoir portion 18. Needless to say, the adjacent cutter members 41 are arranged such that the respective cutter blades 43 are held together.

By using the cutter member 41 having a different shape in this way, the degree to which the cutter blade 43 is engaged changes along the longitudinal direction. In this example, the stagnation in the center is shallow and gradually becomes deeper toward both ends. For this reason, the cutter member 41 having the straight shape is joined to the substantially central portion of the portion where the cutter member 41 having substantially the thread shape and the straight force cutter member 41 are mated with each other. Since a deeper recess is formed than in case 1, cutting and crushing can be performed efficiently. (Example 3)

FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B are examples of a crushing mechanism 4OA that employs another example of combination of force cutter members 41. FIG. In this example, as shown in FIG. 18A, all of the four cutter members 41 are substantially the pincushion type cutter members. In order to clarify the combined state, the odd-numbered force / thickness members 4 1 B and 4 1 D in FIG. Even in this case, the engagement state of the cutter member 41 is the shallowest at the center and the deepest at both ends as shown in FIG. For this reason, a recess 9 0 0 deeper than the case shown in Example 1 or Example 2 is formed in the substantially central part of the part where the cutter members 4 1, which are substantially thread-shaped, join each other (FIG. 18 B As shown in FIG. 4, the outer shape of the tooth tip of the cutter member 41, which is almost thread-shaped, forms a curved shape from both ends toward the center. For this reason, excrement and the like are easily collected in the recess 900, and excrement and the like can be effectively cut and crushed. '

(Example 4)

FIG. 19 shows a modification of the place where the powdering means 40 is attached. In the case of FIG. 1, the crushing means 40 is attached to the reservoir 18, and the plurality of cutter members 41 are arranged side by side.

The embodiment of FIG. 19 shows a case where the crushing means 40 is provided in the vicinity of the opening (connecting portion) 22 a of the S-shaped trap portion 22 connected to the reservoir portion 18. In this case, the grinding means 40 are juxtaposed in the vertical direction. Crushing mechanism part 4 The number of cutter members 41 constituting the OA, the shape of the force cutter member 41 (the outer diameter of the cutter blade 43), the number of cutter blades 43, etc. also depend on the diameter and the opening area of the opening 22a. Is different.

In this example, a case is shown in which the powdery mechanism part 4 OA is configured by using two (a pair) of substantially straight type cutter members 41. The cutter member 41 is approximately half the length of the case of FIG. The driving mechanism 40B of the crushing mechanism 4OA is disposed outside the toilet body 20 as in the case of FIG.

In this way, even if the crushing means 40 is arranged in the opening 22a of the S-shaped trap portion 22, excrement etc. can be cut and crushed in the same way as in FIG. 1, so that the excrement etc. can clog the discharge pipe etc. Absent. In this case, the pulverizing means 40 must be smaller than that in the case of FIG. 1, so the powder processing time Ta is longer (approximately twice as long) than that in FIG. Will be set. This pulverization process can be performed simultaneously with the discharge of excrement and the trap process of trap water.

(Example 5)

FIG. 20 shows another example of the powdering means 40. In this example, the crushing mechanism 40A is constituted by a pair of guide members 70 (7OA, 7OB) and cutter members 41 (41A, 41B). When the crushing means 40 is provided in the reservoir portion 18, as shown in FIG. 21, a pair of guide members Ο.Α, 70 so as to face each other. B is disposed opposite to each other while holding a predetermined gap, and a pair of cutter members 41 A and 41 B are rotatably disposed therebetween.

As shown in FIG. 22, the guide member 7 OA has a plurality of guide plates 48 (48 a, 48 b,...) In the longitudinal direction (the rotation axis direction of the cutter member 41). It is configured by holding a gap (pitch). The mutual fixation is performed by a fixed guide shaft 45a shown in Fig. 21.

Similarly, the other guide member 70B with respect to this guide member 70A has a plurality of guide plates 49 (49a, 49b,...), Which are arranged at a predetermined pitch, and are fixed. Mutual fixation is performed by the guide shaft 45b. Then, the guide plate 49 is arranged in a state shifted by a half pitch from the guide plate 48 of the one guide member 7OA. Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the guide plates 48 and 49 are tapered portions 51a and 51b whose upper portions are directed inward. For the pair of cutter members 41 A and 41 B, almost straight cutter members are used.

The rotating shaft 42a of one force cutter member 41A is pivotally supported by both end guide plates 48a and 48n of one guide member 7OA. Therefore, the portion of the plurality of guide plates existing in the both end guide plates 48a and 48b corresponding to the rotation shaft 42a has a hole diameter that does not hinder the rotation of the rotation shaft 42a in this example. The portion of the rotating shaft 42a may be cut out. The plurality of cutter blades 43 constituting the cutter member 41 A are arranged so as to be accommodated with a small gap in the gap of the guide plate 48 (48 a, 48 b, 48 c, * 48 η). The pitch is regulated.

Similarly, the rotating shaft 42b of the other cutter member 41 is supported by both end guide plates 49a and 49n constituting the other guide member 70B, and the plurality of cutter blades 43 are The placement pitch is regulated so that a small gap is left in the gap of the guide plate 49.

The cutter blade 43 of the one-side cutter member 4 1 A and the cutter blade 43 of the other cutter member 4 1 B are arranged so as to partially overlap each other as shown in FIG. The blade part (blade edge) of the force cutter blade 43 is a force exemplified by a saw tooth as shown in FIG.

Even when the crushing mechanism 4 OA is configured in this way, the guide plate 48 * and the cutter blade 4 A small gap is formed between the guide plate 4 9 and the cutter blade 4 3, and the cutter members 4 1 A and 4 1 B partially overlap each other. Therefore, since a small gap is formed between the side surfaces of the overlapping cutter blades 4 3 and 4 3, the pair of cutter members 4 1 A and 4 1 B are rotated in the direction to bite each other. Therefore, excrement etc. can be cut finely (cross cut) and crushed into a fluid.

Since the guide plates 4 8 and 4 9 facing each other are formed with tapered portions 5 1 a and 5 1 b that fall toward the force cutter members 4 1 A and 4 1 B, the inside of the pool portion 1 8 The excrement, etc. that falls to the center is easy to gather in the center. With this, excrement etc. can be cut and destroyed effectively.

(Example 6)

Each of the embodiments so far is a case where the present invention is applied to a portable simple Western-style toilet. In the following, the present invention is applied to a fixed Western-style toilet.

Also in this case, the pulverizing means 40 described above is disposed in the reservoir portion 18. FIG. 23 shows a case where the powdering means 40 including the powdering mechanism 40 A shown in the first embodiment is applied.

On the upper portion of the reservoir portion 180, a closing lid 2550 for closing a part of the reservoir portion 180 is provided. The central portion of the closing lid 2 5 0 is a predetermined opening 2 5 0 a, and the other end of the closing lid 2 5 0 is a flange portion that can be attached to the inner peripheral wall 1 0 8 a of the toilet body 1 0 8 2 5 5 are provided on both upper and lower end surfaces.

By attaching the flange portion 2 5 5 to the inner peripheral wall 10 8 a using an adhesive or the like, the closure lid 2 5 0 can be attached (fixed) to the toilet body 1 0 8. By positioning the opening 2 50 a at substantially the center of the closing lid 2 5 0, excrement and the like can be dropped into the reservoir 1 80 without contacting the closing lid 2 5.

The closing lid 2 5 0 can be detachably attached to the inner peripheral wall 1 0 8 a. This is hygienic because the closure lid 2 5 0 can be removed and cleaned periodically. ■ ► A control unit 300 having a CPU is attached to the upper part of the toilet body 100. The control unit 30 0 performs control on the crushing means 40 and the like. Fig. 2 4 shows an example of the control circuit system. Power switch 2 2 5 and open / close switch 2 2

6 (see FIG. 24) is supplied to the control unit 300. In the control unit 30 0, the electromagnetic solenoid 1 17 and the electromagnetic valve 1 13 are controlled, including the drive motor 4 6.

FIG. 26 shows an example of the control timing, and it is assumed that the closing lid 2500 is normally controlled in the open state. The opening / closing switch 2 2 6 operates (ON / OFF) as the toilet lid 2 3 0 opens and closes (Fig. 25A, Fig. 25B). Defecation is performed while the toilet lid 2 3 0 is open, and then the toilet lid 2 3 0 is closed. When it is detected that the toilet lid 2 30 is closed, the closing lid 2 50 is closed (FIG. 25 C). When this closure is detected, the drive motor 46 is energized and the grinding process is started (FIG. 25D). The crushing process here is the cutting and crushing process as described above.

When the pulverization process for a predetermined time is completed, the solenoid valve 1 13 is opened, and the cleaning process for the closing lid 25 50 is performed (FIG. 25E). When the cleaning process is completed, the closing lid 2500 is opened (Fig. 25C). After that, the existing operation buttons (not shown in the figure) installed in the Western-style toilet are operated to discharge waste (including trap water trapping) (Fig. 25 F).

Even when the present invention is applied to a fixed existing Western-style toilet, excrement including toilet paper, tissue paper, used sanitary products, etc. is cut and crushed and discharged as described above. Since it is possible, clogging of sewer pipes can be cleared.

(Example 7)

Fig. 26 shows another example of a fixed Western-style toilet to which the present invention is applied. The embodiment shown in FIG. 26 employs a rotary opening / closing lid mechanism 2600 instead of the closing lid 2500. In this example, a reduced diameter portion 2 70 is provided on the upper side of the reservoir portion 180, and this reduced diameter portion 2

An opening / closing lid mechanism 2600 is provided on the lower surface of the reduced diameter portion 2700 so as to close 700 and seal the reservoir portion 180. > The reduced diameter portion 2 70 is configured as an annular flange portion, and protrudes by a predetermined length so as to face the inner surface of the reservoir portion 1 80. As is clear from FIG. 26, the reduced diameter portion 2 70 is provided so that the entire portion thereof is slightly inclined toward the discharge portion 1 82. On the lower surface side of the reduced diameter portion 2 70, an opening / closing lid mechanism 2 60 that can close the reduced diameter portion 2 70 is provided. The opening / closing lid mechanism 2600 is a rotary type, and has a lid body 2 62 that constitutes the opening / closing lid mechanism 2600, and one end of the lid body 262, the right end portion in the example shown in FIG. The moving shaft portion 2 6 4 is configured to be rotatable with respect to the toilet body 1 0 8 so that the rotating shaft portion 2 6 4 is positioned on the lower surface portion 2 7 2 of the reduced diameter portion 2 70. It is pivotally supported. This pivot is pivotally supported by the toilet body 108 in a watertight manner.

The lid body 2 62 is urged so that its peripheral surface is in contact with the lower surface edge 2 74 of the reduced diameter portion 2 70. The lid body 2 6 2 has a shape along the lower edge 2 7 4, and usually has a rotating shaft so that the inside of the reservoir 1 80 can be sealed by contacting the lower edge 2 7 4. An urging spring 2 76 is wound around the wall surface of the portion 2 6 4 and the lower surface portion 2 7 2.

When a fixed Western-style toilet is configured in this way, if the excrement falls on the lid body 2 62, the tip of the lid body 2 6 2 opens due to its own weight, so the excrement accumulates in the trap 1 8 0 Fall into the water. When the excrement falls, the lid body 26 2 automatically returns to the original position by the action of the panel and closes the upper part of the reservoir portion 180.

Operation button for flushing (flush valve operation button) When 2 80 is operated, washing water collects through the upper surface of the lid body 2 6 2 while circulating around the inner peripheral surface 1 0 8 a of the toilet body 1 0 8 Flows into part 1 80. Since the operation status of the cleaning operation button 2 80 is managed by the control unit 30, when this cleaning process is performed, the grinding means 40 is driven at the same time and falls to the powdering means 40. Toilet paper that has flowed with excrement and washing water is crushed (cut and crushed). Since sanitary products and the like flow into the reservoir portion 180 together with the cleaning water, if the pulverizing means 40 is driven for a predetermined time in relation to the cleaning process, they can be cut, crushed and discharged.

In FIG. 26, an example is shown in which the lid body 26 2 is provided so as to be almost horizontal in the closed state. However, as described above, the reduced diameter portion 2 70 is slightly closer to the discharge portion 1 8 2 side. Since it is provided so as to be inclined, the lid body 2 6 2 itself constituting the open / close lid mechanism 2 60 If the body is tilted and attached to the discharge part 1 8 2 side, the excrement dropped on the upper surface of the lid body 2 6 2 can be dropped into the reservoir part 1 8 80 without remaining. In addition, in the path of a water pipe (not shown) provided between the washing water tank 5 and the toilet body 1 0 8, it can be operated remotely from the control unit 3 0 0 instead of the flash valve 2 8 0. It is also conceivable that a valve device member (solenoid valve or the like) that can be used is provided. In this case, the driving start timing of the crushing means 40 and the cleaning water supply timing can be appropriately varied as in the other embodiments. As a result, the pulverizing means 40 operates for a predetermined time, and the washing water can be supplied after the pulverization process is completed.

Also in this embodiment, it goes without saying that the various powder frame mechanisms shown in the other embodiments can be applied to the crushing mechanism section 40 A. The same applies to the opening / closing lid mechanism 2600. In short, when the present invention is applied to a fixed Western-style toilet, at least one set of the force cutter member 41 described above is disposed in the reservoir portion 1 80 of the toilet main body 10 8. 80 Debris such as defecation, toilet paper, and used sanitary products collected in 80 can be crushed. In addition, the use of the Western style toilet device due to the fact that the cutter member 41 is disposed in the reservoir portion 180 by providing the opening / closing lid mechanism 2660 above the reservoir portion 180. The occurrence of a sense of harm to the person can be suppressed.

Needless to say, the various crushing means 40 shown in Examples 2 to 5 can be applied to the fixed Western-style toilets shown in Examples 6 and 7. Industrial applicability

In this invention, it can be used for an existing Western-style toilet or a simple Western-style toilet as a care assist device such as a nursing facility or home care.
