トイレ空間及びトイレ設備Toilet space and toilet facilities
　本開示は、トイレ空間及びトイレ設備に関する。 The present disclosure relates to toilet space and toilet equipment.
　従来、トイレ空間には、便器装置が設けられたトイレ空間内の環境を制御する照明装置や冷暖房装置等、各種の設備機器が設けられている。設備機器として、例えばトイレ空間内のキャビネットの照明装置の起動のために、便器装置が取り付けられるキャビネットの内部にマイクロ波のセンサを配置し、人体が便器装置に近付いたことを検知するトイレ空間が知られている。 Conventionally, the toilet space is provided with various equipment such as a lighting device and a heating/cooling device that control the environment in the toilet space where the toilet device is installed. As equipment, for example, in order to activate the lighting device of the cabinet in the toilet space, a microwave sensor is arranged inside the cabinet in which the toilet device is installed, and there is a toilet space that detects that the human body approaches the toilet device. Are known.
　従来、トイレ設備には、照明装置や冷暖房装置、音響装置等、センサの検知結果に基づいて作動する電気機器が設置されることがある。設備機器は人体を検知するセンサに接続され、トイレ設備に人体が入ったことを検知すると自動的に作動するように構成されている場合がある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 Conventionally, toilet equipment may be equipped with electrical equipment such as lighting equipment, air conditioning equipment, and audio equipment that operate based on the detection results of sensors.

　トイレ空間内で、各種の設備機器にセンサを用いる場合、施工するトイレ空間の間取りや面積によって、便器装置に使用者がどの程度近づいたかに応じて適切なタイミングで起動させたい場合がある。このため、検知する距離に関連して精度が高く、広範囲で検知可能なセンサが求められる。この場合、センサとして、赤外線センサを用いることが考えられるが、赤外線センサの場合には、赤外線センサの検知範囲に障害となる物体を配置しないようにする必要があった。 When using sensors for various equipment in the toilet space, you may want to activate at appropriate timing depending on how close the user is to the toilet device, depending on the floor plan and area of the toilet space to be constructed. Therefore, there is a demand for a sensor that is highly accurate in relation to the distance to be detected and that can detect a wide range. In this case, it is conceivable to use an infrared sensor as the sensor, but in the case of the infrared sensor, it was necessary to prevent an obstacle from being placed in the detection range of the infrared sensor.
　人体を検知するセンサとして、焦電式、光学式又は超音波式のセンサがある。これらのセンサは、検知する距離を正確に設定できるという利点があるが、人体との間に便蓋等の遮蔽物が介在すると、検知性能が低下する場合があった。このため、センサを取り付ける位置が限定されてしまったり、検知範囲が遮蔽されない位置にセンサを配置すると、センサが目立ってしまったりする場合があった。 　As sensors that detect the human body, there are pyroelectric, optical, or ultrasonic sensors. These sensors have the advantage that the distance to be detected can be accurately set, but if a shield such as a toilet lid is interposed between the sensor and the human body, the detection performance may be reduced. Therefore, the position where the sensor is attached may be limited, or the sensor may be conspicuous if the sensor is arranged at a position where the detection range is not shielded.
　本開示は、便器装置（例えば、後述の便器装置２）と、便器装置２に近付く人体を検知する焦電式、光学式又は超音波式のセンサ（例えば、後述のセンサ７）と、前記センサの検知結果に基づいて作動し、前記便器装置が設置されたトイレ空間（例えば、後述のトイレ空間１００）の環境を制御する設備機器と、前記便器装置の周囲に配置されるキャビネットと、を備えるトイレ空間であって、前記センサは、前記キャビネットの前面に配置されるとともに、その検知範囲（例えば、後述の検知範囲７０）が前記便器装置の便蓋又は便座の全開又は全閉時において前記便器装置に近付く人体を検知する位置に設定される、トイレ空間に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a toilet device (for example, a toilet device 2 described later), a pyroelectric, optical, or ultrasonic sensor (for example, a sensor 7 described later) that detects a human body approaching the toilet device 2, and the sensor. And a cabinet arranged around the toilet device, which operates based on the detection result of 1. to control the environment of the toilet space in which the toilet device is installed (for example, the toilet space 100 described later). In the toilet space, the sensor is arranged on the front surface of the cabinet, and the detection range (for example, a detection range 70 described later) of the sensor is when the toilet lid or the toilet seat of the toilet device is fully opened or fully closed. The present invention relates to a toilet space set at a position where a human body approaching the device is detected.

The front surface of the skirting board 32 is in contact with the back surface of the front panel 31. The skirting board 32 is formed in a color tone different from that of the front panel 31, and has the same color as the side wall 102 of the toilet space 100, for example.
　巾木３２は、図２に示すように、縦桟３５１に固定されて前パネル３１の下端部の背面側に配置され、幅方向の一方から他方に延びる細長い板材である。巾木３２の前面は、前パネル３１の背面に接している。巾木３２は、床面１０３と前パネル３１の下端縁３１ｂとを接続する。巾木３２は、前パネル３１とは異なる色調に形成されており、例えば、トイレ空間１００の側壁１０２と同系色である。 As shown in FIG. 2, the skirting board 32 is an elongated plate member which is fixed to the vertical crosspiece 351 and is arranged on the back surface side of the lower end portion of the front panel 31 and extends from one side to the other in the width direction. The front surface of the skirting board 32 is in contact with the back surface of the front panel 31. The skirting board 32 connects the floor surface 103 and the lower end edge 31b of the front panel 31. The skirting board 32 is formed in a color tone different from that of the front panel 31, and has the same color as the side wall 102 of the toilet space 100, for example.
　図４は、前パネル３１に間口調整材４、連結側板５及び照明装置６が取り付けられた状態の斜視図である。間口調整材４は、背面側キャビネット３の上下方向に沿って延びる縦長の板材であり、長手方向側縁４１と、短手方向側縁４２と、長孔４３と、を有する。長手方向側縁４１は、前パネル３１の側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄに沿って配置される。短手方向側縁４２は、前パネル３１の幅方向に沿って配置される。長孔４３は、間口調整材４の上端側及び下端側に短手方向に沿って形成される。 FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the frontage adjusting member 4, the connecting side plate 5, and the lighting device 6 are attached to the front panel 31. The frontage adjusting member 4 is a vertically long plate member extending along the up-down direction of the rear cabinet 3, and has a long side edge 41, a short side edge 42, and a long hole 43. The longitudinal side edge 41 is arranged along the side edges 31c and 31d of the front panel 31. The lateral direction side edge 42 is arranged along the width direction of the front panel 31. The long holes 43 are formed along the lateral direction on the upper end side and the lower end side of the frontage adjusting member 4.
　間口調整材４は、図３に示すように、前パネル３１の背面側で、前パネルの一対の側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄ近傍に一対配置される。間口調整材４は、長孔４３に挿通させるビス４４の位置を調整することにより左右方向に移動可能に取り付けられ、間口調整材４の短手方向側縁４２の外側端部が、トイレ空間１００の側壁１０２に当接するように近接させて取り付けられる。ここで、間口調整材４が側壁１０２に「当接可能」とは、間口調整材４を側壁１０２に当接させるか、施工誤差等で側壁１０２にぴったりと当接しない場合でも、当接するほどに近接させることが可能であることを意味する。図１及び図４に示すように、間口調整材４の短手方向側縁４２の外側端部は、前パネル３１よりも幅方向の外側に位置する。 As shown in FIG. 3, a pair of frontage adjusting members 4 are arranged on the back side of the front panel 31 near the pair of side edges 31c and 31d of the front panel. The frontage adjusting material 4 is attached so as to be movable in the left-right direction by adjusting the position of the screw 44 to be inserted into the long hole 43, and the outer end portion of the lateral direction side edge 42 of the frontage adjusting material 4 is attached to the toilet space 100. The side wall 102 is attached so as to be in close contact with the side wall 102. Here, the frontage adjusting material 4 being “contactable” with the side wall 102 means that the frontage adjusting material 4 is in contact with the side wall 102, or even if the front side adjusting material 4 is not exactly in contact with the side wall 102 due to a construction error or the like. It means that it is possible to get close to. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the outer end portion of the lateral direction side edge 42 of the frontage adjusting member 4 is located outside the front panel 31 in the width direction.
　間口調整材４は、前パネル３１の背面から後方に離れ、前パネル３１の背面との間に第２の隙間Ｓ２を有して配置される。前パネル３１の背面と間口調整材４との間の第２の隙間Ｓ２の寸法は、前パネル３１の側端部とトイレ空間１００の側壁１０２との間の第１の隙間Ｓ１の寸法よりも大きく、例えば、４０ｍｍ～６０ｍｍ程度、好ましくは４５ｍｍ～５５ｍｍ程度である。第２の隙間Ｓ２の方が第１の隙間Ｓ１よりも大きいことで、第２の隙間Ｓ２の奥行きにより前パネル３１の独立性が際立ち、前パネル３１が浮遊しているような浮遊感が実現される。 The frontage adjusting member 4 is arranged rearward from the back surface of the front panel 31 and has a second gap S2 between the back surface of the front panel 31 and the back surface. The dimension of the second gap S2 between the back surface of the front panel 31 and the frontage adjusting material 4 is larger than the dimension of the first gap S1 between the side end portion of the front panel 31 and the side wall 102 of the toilet space 100. It is large, for example, about 40 mm to 60 mm, preferably about 45 mm to 55 mm. Since the second gap S2 is larger than the first gap S1, the independence of the front panel 31 is emphasized by the depth of the second gap S2, and the floating feeling that the front panel 31 is floating is realized. To be done.
　間口調整材４は、白色、ベージュ、クリーム色等の光を反射させやすい色調及び素材で構成される。白、ベージュ、クリーム色等の白色系の色調は、黒色系や赤色系等と比べると光を反射させやすい。このため、間口調整材４の反射板としての機能を発揮させやすくなる。 The frontage adjusting material 4 is composed of a color tone and a material such as white, beige, and cream that easily reflect light. White tones such as white, beige, and cream are more likely to reflect light than black or red tones. For this reason, it becomes easy to exhibit the function of the frontage adjusting member 4 as a reflector.
　間口調整材４は、図１に示すように、間口調整材４の下端部が巾木３２の幅方向外側に配置されており、巾木３２に対していわゆる「縦勝ち」に配置されている。間口調整材４と巾木３２は、正面視で連続したように見え、間口調整材４と巾木３２が前パネル３１の下側の周囲を上部が開口したコの字状に囲んでいるように配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the frontage adjusting material 4 has the lower end portion of the frontage adjusting material 4 arranged on the outer side in the width direction of the skirting board 32, and is arranged in a so-called “vertical win” with respect to the skirting board 32. .. The frontage adjusting material 4 and the skirting board 32 seem to be continuous when viewed from the front, and the frontage adjusting material 4 and the skirting board 32 surround the lower side of the front panel 31 in a U-shape with an upper opening. It is located in.
　連結側板５は、前パネル３１の背面と間口調整材４とを連結する板であり、前パネル３１及び間口調整材４に対して略直交するように取り付けられる。連結側板５は、間口調整材４とほぼ同程度の長さを有する縦長の板材である。連結側板５の幅方向の長さは、第２の隙間Ｓ２に対応する。図４に示すように、連結側板５の前パネル３１側の短手方向の端部における、前パネル３１と接する端面には、前パネル３１側に向かって突出するボス５１が形成されており、前パネル３１の背面側の対応する位置に形成される孔に挿入されて連結される。 The connection side plate 5 is a plate that connects the back surface of the front panel 31 and the frontage adjusting member 4, and is attached so as to be substantially orthogonal to the front panel 31 and the frontage adjusting member 4. The connection side plate 5 is a vertically long plate member having a length substantially the same as that of the frontage adjusting member 4. The length of the connecting side plate 5 in the width direction corresponds to the second gap S2. As shown in FIG. 4, a boss 51 projecting toward the front panel 31 side is formed on an end face of the connecting side plate 5 in the lateral direction end on the front panel 31 side, which is in contact with the front panel 31, The front panel 31 is inserted into and connected to holes formed at corresponding positions on the rear surface side.
　図４を参照して、連結側板５と間口調整材４の連結手順について説明する。前パネル３１の幅方向の寸法は、トイレ空間１００の一対の側壁１０２同士の間の距離よりも短いので、前パネル３１の幅方向の外側に第１の隙間Ｓ１が開く。第１の隙間Ｓ１の大きさに応じて、間口調整材４の位置は、便器本体２１寄りか、側壁１０２寄りか、施工現場で位置を調整される。間口調整材４の長孔４３にビス４４を挿通させ、間口調整材４と連結側板５とをＬ字型金具５２で仮留めする。間口調整材４の短手方向側縁４２の外側（トイレ空間１００の側壁１０２側）の端部が側壁１０２に当接するように近接させて左右方向に移動させ、位置を調整した後、間口調整材４の上端側及び下端側に挿通されているビス４４を締め、一対の間口調整材４を固定する。 The connecting procedure of the connecting side plate 5 and the frontage adjusting member 4 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the widthwise dimension of the front panel 31 is shorter than the distance between the pair of side walls 102 of the toilet space 100, the first gap S1 is opened outside the front panel 31 in the widthwise direction. Depending on the size of the first gap S1, the position of the frontage adjusting member 4 is adjusted at the construction site, either near the toilet body 21 or near the side wall 102. A screw 44 is inserted into the long hole 43 of the frontage adjusting material 4, and the frontage adjusting material 4 and the connecting side plate 5 are temporarily fastened with an L-shaped metal fitting 52. The front end of the front side adjusting member 4 outside the lateral edge 42 (on the side wall 102 side of the toilet space 100) is moved close to the side wall 102 so that it comes in contact with the side wall 102, and the position is adjusted. The screws 44 inserted through the upper end side and the lower end side of the member 4 are tightened to fix the pair of frontage adjusting members 4.
　照明装置６は、前パネル３１の背面側のやや内側（前パネル３１の幅方向中央寄り）で、前パネル３１の両側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄに沿って延びるように一対配置される。詳細には照明装置６は、図２に示すように前パネル３１の両側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄの背面と、間口調整材４との間で、連結側板５に取り付けられ、背面側キャビネット３の正面視では視認されない位置に配置される。照明装置６は、背面側キャビネット３の一対の側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄ側からトイレ空間１００の一対の側壁１０２に対して光を照射する間接照明装置である。照明装置６は、照明ケース６１と、照明カバー６２と、照明素子及びケーブル（図示省略）とを有する。 A pair of lighting devices 6 are arranged slightly inside the rear side of the front panel 31 (close to the center of the front panel 31 in the width direction) so as to extend along both side edges 31c and 31d of the front panel 31. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the lighting device 6 is attached to the connecting side plate 5 between the back surfaces of the side edges 31c and 31d of the front panel 31 and the frontage adjusting member 4, and is viewed from the front of the back side cabinet 3. It is placed in a position where it is not visible. The illuminating device 6 is an indirect illuminating device that irradiates the pair of side edges 31c and 31d of the rear cabinet 3 with light to the pair of side walls 102 of the toilet space 100. The lighting device 6 includes a lighting case 61, a lighting cover 62, a lighting element, and a cable (not shown).
　照明ケース６１は、内部に照明素子及びケーブルが格納された直方体のケースである。照明ケース６１は、前パネル３１の上下方向の側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄにおける一方側の端部側から他方側の端部側まで延びるように配置される。詳細には、照明ケース６１の長さは、前パネル３１の側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄの長さよりもわずかに短く、照明ケース６１の端部は、前パネル３１の上下方向の端部よりもやや内側に位置している。図３に示すように、照明ケース６１は、前パネル３１の一方の側縁３１ｃ側と他方の側縁３１ｄ側とでは、奥行き方向に互い違いにずれて配置されており、一方の側縁３１ｃ側では前パネル３１の背面から奥側へ離れた位置で連結側板５に取り付けられ、他方の側縁３１ｄ側では前パネル３１の背面に当接するように連結側板５に取り付けられている。 The lighting case 61 is a rectangular parallelepiped case in which a lighting element and a cable are stored. The lighting case 61 is arranged so as to extend from one end side of the vertical side edges 31c and 31d of the front panel 31 to the other end side thereof. Specifically, the length of the lighting case 61 is slightly shorter than the lengths of the side edges 31c and 31d of the front panel 31, and the end of the lighting case 61 is slightly inside the end of the front panel 31 in the vertical direction. Is located in. As shown in FIG. 3, the lighting case 61 is arranged such that the one side edge 31c side and the other side edge 31d side of the front panel 31 are staggered in the depth direction, and the one side edge 31c side. Is attached to the connecting side plate 5 at a position distant from the back surface of the front panel 31 to the back side, and is attached to the connecting side plate 5 so as to abut the back surface of the front panel 31 on the other side edge 31d side.
　照明カバー６２は、照明ケース６１が取り付けられた状態で、照明ケース６１における少なくとも前パネル３１の幅方向の外側を覆うように取り付けられる。照明カバー６２は、トイレ空間１００の側壁１０２側を向くように配置される。 The lighting cover 62 is attached so as to cover at least the widthwise outer side of the front panel 31 in the lighting case 61 with the lighting case 61 attached. The lighting cover 62 is arranged so as to face the side wall 102 side of the toilet space 100.
　照明素子は、照明ケース６１の内部に配置されている（図示省略）。照明素子が点灯することで照明装置６が発光する。照明素子は、発光の範囲が前パネル３１の上下方向に亘るように、照明ケース６１内の上下方向に沿って並ぶように配置されている。 The lighting element is arranged inside the lighting case 61 (not shown). The lighting device 6 emits light when the lighting element is turned on. The lighting elements are arranged side by side in the vertical direction in the lighting case 61 so that the range of light emission extends in the vertical direction of the front panel 31.
　センサ７は、トイレ空間１００の環境を制御する設備機器としての照明装置６に接続される。センサ７は、便器装置２に近付く人体を検知する焦電式の赤外線人体検知センサである。センサ７は、背面側キャビネット３の前面である前パネル３１に取り付けられ、使用者がトイレ空間１００に入室して、便器装置２にあらかじめ設定した距離近づくと、人体を検知し、検知結果を制御部へ出力するように設定されている。 The sensor 7 is connected to the lighting device 6 as a facility device that controls the environment of the toilet space 100. The sensor 7 is a pyroelectric infrared human body detection sensor that detects a human body approaching the toilet device 2. The sensor 7 is attached to the front panel 31, which is the front surface of the rear cabinet 3, and detects the human body when the user enters the toilet space 100 and approaches the toilet device 2 by a preset distance, and controls the detection result. It is set to output to the department.
　センサ７は、図２及び図３に示すように、前パネル３１に配置されて、その検知範囲７０が便器装置２の便蓋２２又は便座の全閉時において便蓋２２又は便座に干渉しないように設定される。図１に示すように、本実施形態では、センサ７は、便器装置２の正面視左側、便蓋２２の幅方向の外側で、便蓋２２の上面よりも上方の前パネル３１の表面に配置されている。全開時には、センサ７は、開いた便蓋２２又は便座の逆Ｕ字形状の正面視における面の高さ方向及び幅方向ともに重ならない位置に設けられている。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the sensor 7 is arranged on the front panel 31 so that the detection range 70 does not interfere with the toilet lid 22 or the toilet seat when the toilet lid 22 or the toilet seat of the toilet device 2 is fully closed. Is set to. As shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the sensor 7 is arranged on the front view left side of the toilet device 2, on the outer side in the width direction of the toilet lid 22, and on the surface of the front panel 31 above the upper surface of the toilet lid 22. Has been done. When the sensor 7 is fully opened, the sensor 7 is provided at a position where the opened toilet lid 22 or the toilet seat does not overlap with each other in the height direction and the width direction of the inverted U-shaped front view.
　焦電式のセンサ７は熱源の違いに反応し、動かないものに対して検知しないので、仮に検知範囲７０内に便蓋２２又は便座があり干渉していたとしても、便蓋２２又は便座が動いていなければ、センサ７の検知範囲７０内で便器装置２に近付く人体を検知することができる。
　センサ７が光学式又は超音波式のセンサであった場合でも、便蓋２２又は便座等が全開時や全閉時の検知状態をあらかじめ記憶させておき、検知範囲７０内に便蓋２２又は便座があり検知範囲７０に干渉しても反応しないように設定をしておけば、照明装置６が動作しないよう設定することができる。 The pyroelectric sensor 7 reacts to a difference in heat source and does not detect anything that does not move. Therefore, even if the toilet lid 22 or the toilet seat is in the detection range 70 and the interference occurs, the toilet lid 22 or the toilet seat will not be detected. If it is not moving, the human body approaching the toilet device 2 can be detected within the detection range 70 of the sensor 7.
Even when the sensor 7 is an optical or ultrasonic sensor, the detection state when the toilet lid 22 or the toilet seat is fully opened or fully closed is stored in advance, and the toilet lid 22 or the toilet seat is within the detection range 70. Therefore, if the setting is made so as not to react even if the detection range 70 is interfered with, the lighting device 6 can be set not to operate.
　検知範囲７０は、図２に示すように、便蓋２２の上面から上方に向けて設定され、センサ７から延出させる下方の限界の仮想線と上方の限界の仮想線が交わる点から略３０～９０度程度の範囲である。幅方向では、平面視でセンサ７から延出させる左側の限界の仮想線と右側の限界の仮想線が交わる点から略３０～９０度程度の範囲である。 As shown in FIG. 2, the detection range 70 is set upward from the upper surface of the toilet lid 22, and is approximately 30 from the point where the lower limit virtual line extending from the sensor 7 and the upper limit virtual line intersect. It is in the range of about 90 degrees. In the width direction, it is within a range of about 30 to 90 degrees from the point where the left limit virtual line and the right limit virtual line extending from the sensor 7 intersect in a plan view.
　制御部は、センサ７及び照明装置６に接続される。制御部は、センサ７が人体を検知すると、検知結果に応じて照明装置６を作動させ、点灯させる。制御部はタイマーに接続されており、照明装置６の点灯後所定時間が経過すると、照明装置６を消灯させる。 The control unit is connected to the sensor 7 and the lighting device 6. When the sensor 7 detects a human body, the control unit operates the lighting device 6 according to the detection result to turn on the lighting device 6. The control unit is connected to a timer, and turns off the lighting device 6 when a predetermined time has elapsed after turning on the lighting device 6.
　第１実施形態によれば、以下の効果が奏される。第１実施形態では、トイレ空間１００を、便器装置２と、便器装置２に近付く人体を検知する焦電式、光学式又は超音波式のセンサ７と、センサ７の検知結果に基づいて作動し、便器装置２が設置されたトイレ空間１００の環境を制御する設備機器と、便器装置２の周囲に配置されるキャビネットと、を含んで構成した。センサ７を、キャビネットの前面に配置されるとともに、その検知範囲が便器装置２の便蓋２２又は便座の全開又は全閉時において便器装置２に近付く人体を検知する位置に設定した。センサ７を焦電式赤外線人体検知センサとすることで、検知する距離が正確でかつ広範囲に設定することができる。電波式と異なり、キャビネットの前面に配置して、検知範囲７０を便器装置２の便蓋２２又は便座の全開又は全閉時において便器装置２に近付く人体を検知する位置に設定することで、焦電式赤外線人体検知センサを確実かつ正確に作動させることができる。よって、トイレ空間１００がどのような間取り又は面積であっても、便蓋２２又は便座の開閉の状況にかかわらず、人体を正確に検知し易く構成することができる。 According to the first embodiment, the following effects are achieved. In the first embodiment, the toilet space 100 is operated based on the toilet device 2, the pyroelectric, optical or ultrasonic sensor 7 for detecting a human body approaching the toilet device 2, and the detection result of the sensor 7. It is configured to include a facility device that controls the environment of the toilet space 100 in which the toilet device 2 is installed, and a cabinet that is arranged around the toilet device 2. The sensor 7 is disposed on the front surface of the cabinet, and its detection range is set to a position for detecting a human body approaching the toilet device 2 when the toilet lid 22 or the toilet seat of the toilet device 2 is fully opened or fully closed. By using the pyroelectric infrared human body detection sensor as the sensor 7, the distance to be detected can be set accurately and in a wide range. Unlike the radio wave type, by arranging it on the front surface of the cabinet and setting the detection range 70 to a position for detecting a human body approaching the toilet device 2 when the toilet lid 22 of the toilet device 2 or the toilet seat is fully opened or fully closed, The electric infrared human body detection sensor can be operated reliably and accurately. Therefore, regardless of the floor plan or area of the toilet space 100, the human body can be easily detected accurately regardless of the opening/closing state of the toilet lid 22 or the toilet seat.
　第１実施形態では、センサ７を、検知範囲７０が便蓋２２又は便座に干渉しないように設定した。これにより、焦電式赤外線人体検知センサを確実かつ正確に作動させることができ、上記と同様の効果を奏する。 In the first embodiment, the sensor 7 is set so that the detection range 70 does not interfere with the toilet lid 22 or the toilet seat. As a result, the pyroelectric infrared human body detection sensor can be operated reliably and accurately, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.
　第１実施形態では、設備機器を照明装置６とした。キャビネットの照明装置６の点灯のためにセンサ７を設けることで、便器装置２に使用者が所定距離近づいたときにキャビネットの照明装置６を点灯させることができる。よって、キャビネットの照明装置６を必要以上に長い間点灯させておくことがなくなるので、電力の消費を抑えることができ、かつ、照明装置６の演出的効果を得ることができる。 In the first embodiment, the facility device is the lighting device 6. By providing the sensor 7 for lighting the lighting device 6 of the cabinet, the lighting device 6 of the cabinet can be turned on when the user approaches the toilet device 2 by a predetermined distance. Therefore, it is not necessary to turn on the lighting device 6 of the cabinet for an unnecessarily long time, so that it is possible to suppress the power consumption and obtain the effect of the lighting device 6.
　第１実施形態では、キャビネットを、便器装置２における便器本体２１の背面側に配置される背面側キャビネット３を含んで構成し、照明装置６を、背面側キャビネット３の前パネル３１に配置させた。前パネル３１に配置された照明装置６の起動を制御するためにセンサ７が配置されているので、照明装置６を必要以上に長い間点灯させておくことがなくなり、上記と同様の効果を奏する。センサ７を便器本体２１の背面側に配置される背面側キャビネット３の前パネル３１に配置させることで、センサ７の検知範囲７０を広範囲かつ自在に設定させやすくなる。センサ７に接続する制御部や電源等を背面側キャビネット３の内部に配置して設置することができるので、設置が容易になり美観が向上する。 In the first embodiment, the cabinet is configured to include the back side cabinet 3 arranged on the back side of the toilet body 21 of the toilet device 2, and the lighting device 6 is arranged on the front panel 31 of the back side cabinet 3. .. Since the sensor 7 is arranged to control the start-up of the lighting device 6 arranged on the front panel 31, it is not necessary to turn on the lighting device 6 for an unnecessarily long time, and the same effect as the above is obtained. .. By disposing the sensor 7 on the front panel 31 of the rear cabinet 3 arranged on the rear side of the toilet body 21, it becomes easy to set the detection range 70 of the sensor 7 in a wide range and freely. Since the control unit connected to the sensor 7, the power supply, etc. can be arranged and installed inside the rear cabinet 3, the installation becomes easy and the appearance is improved.
　以上、本開示の好ましい第１実施形態について説明したが、本開示は、第１実施形態に制限されるものではなく、適宜変更が可能である。 The preferred first embodiment of the present disclosure has been described above, but the present disclosure is not limited to the first embodiment and can be modified as appropriate.
　例えば、センサ７は、第１実施形態では焦電式の赤外線人体検知センサであるが、電波式以外であれば、光学式又は超音波式センサ等であってもよい。センサの検知結果に基づいて作動するトイレ空間の環境を制御する設備機器として、他に、トイレ空間の冷暖房装置、音響装置、室内照明灯等であってよい。 For example, the sensor 7 is a pyroelectric infrared human body detection sensor in the first embodiment, but may be an optical or ultrasonic sensor or the like as long as it is not a radio wave type. As the equipment device that controls the environment of the toilet space that operates based on the detection result of the sensor, a cooling and heating device for the toilet space, an acoustic device, an indoor lighting lamp, or the like may be used.

The connection side plate 5 is a vertically long plate member having a length substantially the same as that of the frontage adjusting member 4. The widthwise length of the connecting side plate 5 corresponds to the second gap G2. As shown in FIG. 8, a boss 51 projecting toward the front panel 31 side is formed on an end face of the connecting side plate 5 in the lateral direction on the front panel 31 side, which is in contact with the front panel 31, The front panel 31 is inserted into and connected to holes formed at corresponding positions on the rear surface side.
　図８を参照して、連結側板５と間口調整材４の連結手順について説明する。前パネル３１の幅方向の寸法は、トイレ設備１００Ａの一対の側壁１０２同士の間の距離よりも短いので、前パネル３１の幅方向の外側に第１の隙間Ｇ１が開く。第１の隙間Ｇ１の大きさに応じて、間口調整材４の位置は、便器本体２１寄りか、側壁１０２寄りか、施工現場で位置を調整される。間口調整材４の長孔４３にビス４４を挿通させ、間口調整材４と連結側板５とをＬ字型金具５２で仮留めする。間口調整材４の短手方向側縁４２の外側（トイレ設備１００Ａの側壁１０２側）の端部が側壁１０２に当接するように近接させて左右方向に移動させ、位置を調整した後、間口調整材４の上端側及び下端側に挿通されているビス４４を締め、一対の間口調整材４を固定する。 The connecting procedure of the connecting side plate 5 and the frontage adjusting member 4 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the dimension of the front panel 31 in the width direction is shorter than the distance between the pair of side walls 102 of the toilet equipment 100A, the first gap G1 opens outside the front panel 31 in the width direction. Depending on the size of the first gap G1, the position of the frontage adjusting member 4 is adjusted at the construction site, either near the toilet body 21 or near the side wall 102. A screw 44 is inserted into the long hole 43 of the frontage adjusting material 4, and the frontage adjusting material 4 and the connecting side plate 5 are temporarily fastened with an L-shaped metal fitting 52. The front end of the front edge adjusting member 4 outside the lateral edge 42 (on the side wall 102 side of the toilet equipment 100A) is moved close to the side wall 102 so as to contact the side wall 102, and the position is adjusted. The screws 44 inserted through the upper end side and the lower end side of the member 4 are tightened to fix the pair of frontage adjusting members 4.
　照明装置６は、トイレ設備１００Ａの便器装置２の周囲に配置され、背面側キャビネット３に取り付けられる。前パネル３１の背面側のやや内側（前パネル３１の幅方向中央寄り）で、前パネル３１の両側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄに沿って延びるように一対配置される。詳細には照明装置６は、図６に示すように前パネル３１の両側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄの背面と、間口調整材４との間で、連結側板５に取り付けられ、背面側キャビネット３の正面視では視認されない位置に配置される。照明装置６は、背面側キャビネット３の一対の側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄ側からトイレ設備１００Ａの一対の側壁１０２に対して光を照射する間接照明装置である。照明装置６は、照明ケース６１と、照明カバー６２と、照明素子（図示省略）、照明用タイマー６３及び照明用制御部６４と、を有する。 The lighting device 6 is arranged around the toilet device 2 of the toilet facility 100A, and is attached to the rear cabinet 3. A pair is arranged slightly inside the rear side of the front panel 31 (close to the center in the width direction of the front panel 31) so as to extend along both side edges 31c and 31d of the front panel 31. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the lighting device 6 is attached to the connection side plate 5 between the back surfaces of the side edges 31c and 31d of the front panel 31 and the frontage adjusting member 4, and is viewed from the front of the back side cabinet 3. It is placed in a position where it is not visible. The illuminating device 6 is an indirect illuminating device that irradiates the pair of side edges 31c and 31d of the rear cabinet 3 with light to the pair of side walls 102 of the toilet facility 100A. The lighting device 6 includes a lighting case 61, a lighting cover 62, a lighting element (not shown), a lighting timer 63, and a lighting control unit 64.
　照明ケース６１は、内部に照明素子及びケーブルが格納された直方体のケースである。照明ケース６１は、前パネル３１の上下方向の側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄにおける一方側の端部側から他方側の端部側まで延びるように配置される。詳細には、照明ケース６１の長さは、前パネル３１の側縁３１ｃ、３１ｄの長さよりもわずかに短く、照明ケース６１の端部は、前パネル３１の上下方向の端部よりもやや内側に位置している。図７に示すように、照明ケース６１は、前パネル３１の一方の側縁３１ｃ側と他方の側縁３１ｄ側とでは、奥行き方向に互い違いにずれて配置されており、一方の側縁３１ｃ側では前パネル３１の背面から奥側へ離れた位置で連結側板５に取り付けられ、他方の側縁３１ｄ側では前パネル３１の背面に当接するように連結側板５に取り付けられている。 The lighting case 61 is a rectangular parallelepiped case in which a lighting element and a cable are stored. The lighting case 61 is arranged so as to extend from one end side of the vertical side edges 31c and 31d of the front panel 31 to the other end side thereof. Specifically, the length of the lighting case 61 is slightly shorter than the lengths of the side edges 31c and 31d of the front panel 31, and the end of the lighting case 61 is slightly inside the end of the front panel 31 in the vertical direction. Is located in. As shown in FIG. 7, the lighting case 61 is arranged such that the one side edge 31c side and the other side edge 31d side of the front panel 31 are staggered in the depth direction, and the one side edge 31c side. Is attached to the connecting side plate 5 at a position distant from the back surface of the front panel 31 to the back side, and is attached to the connecting side plate 5 so as to abut the back surface of the front panel 31 on the other side edge 31d side.
　照明カバー６２は、照明ケース６１が取り付けられた状態で、照明ケース６１における少なくとも前パネル３１の幅方向の外側を覆うように取り付けられる。照明カバー６２は、トイレ設備１００Ａの側壁１０２側を向くように配置される。 The lighting cover 62 is attached so as to cover at least the widthwise outer side of the front panel 31 in the lighting case 61 with the lighting case 61 attached. The lighting cover 62 is arranged so as to face the side wall 102 side of the toilet facility 100A.
　照明素子は、照明ケース６１の内部に配置されている（図示省略）。照明素子が点灯することで照明装置６が発光する。照明素子は、発光の範囲が前パネル３１の上下方向に亘るように、照明ケース６１内の上下方向に沿って並ぶように配置されている。 The lighting element is arranged inside the lighting case 61 (not shown). The lighting device 6 emits light when the lighting element is turned on. The lighting elements are arranged side by side in the vertical direction in the lighting case 61 so that the range of light emission extends in the vertical direction of the front panel 31.
　照明用タイマー６３は、照明装置６が点灯した後、点灯している時間を計測するタイマーである。照明用制御部６４は、以下に説明する照明用センサ７００が人体を検知すると、照明装置６を点灯させるように信号を送る。照明用制御部６４は、照明用タイマー６３が計測している照明装置６の点灯時間を参照しながら、照明用センサ７００が人体を検知しているか否かを判断する。そして、照明装置６の点灯後に所定時間が経過して照明用センサ７００が人体を検知していなければ、照明装置６を消灯させるように信号を送る。 The lighting timer 63 is a timer for measuring the lighting time of the lighting device 6 after lighting. When the illumination sensor 700 described below detects a human body, the illumination controller 64 sends a signal to turn on the illumination device 6. The illumination control unit 64 determines whether or not the illumination sensor 700 detects a human body while referring to the lighting time of the illumination device 6 measured by the illumination timer 63. Then, if the lighting sensor 700 does not detect a human body after a predetermined time has passed after the lighting device 6 is turned on, a signal is sent to turn off the lighting device 6.
　照明用センサ７００は、図５に示すように、前パネル３１に配置されて、その検知範囲が便器装置２の便蓋２２の全開時において正面視で便蓋２２又により遮蔽される範囲に設定される。照明用センサ７００は、便器本体２１の正面視における便蓋２２の上方に配置されている。照明用センサ７００は、照明用センサ７００の検知結果に基づいて作動する電気機器としての照明装置６に接続される。照明用センサ７００は、便器装置２に近付く人体を検知する焦電式の赤外線人体検知照明用センサである。照明用センサ７００は、センサ窓７２０と、センサ本体７１０と、を有する。 As shown in FIG. 5, the illumination sensor 700 is arranged on the front panel 31, and its detection range is set to a range covered by the toilet lid 22 or the front view when the toilet lid 22 of the toilet device 2 is fully opened. To be done. The illumination sensor 700 is arranged above the toilet lid 22 in a front view of the toilet body 21. The illumination sensor 700 is connected to the illumination device 6 as an electric device that operates based on the detection result of the illumination sensor 700. The illumination sensor 700 is a pyroelectric infrared human body detection illumination sensor that detects a human body approaching the toilet device 2. The illumination sensor 700 has a sensor window 720 and a sensor body 710.
　センサ窓７２０は、前パネル３１の表面の幅方向の中央寄りで、便器装置２の背面側に露出して配置される。センサ窓７２０は、照明用センサ７００の表面に配置されて人体から放射される赤外線を受ける部分であり、レンズが配置されている。図５に示すように、センサ窓７２０が、便蓋２２の全開時に正面視で便蓋２２と重なる位置に配置される。 The sensor window 720 is arranged near the center of the front surface of the front panel 31 in the width direction and exposed on the back side of the toilet device 2. The sensor window 720 is a portion arranged on the surface of the illumination sensor 700 to receive infrared rays emitted from the human body, and a lens is arranged therein. As shown in FIG. 5, the sensor window 720 is arranged at a position overlapping the toilet lid 22 in a front view when the toilet lid 22 is fully opened.
　センサ本体７１０は、センサ窓７２０で受けた赤外線を感知する焦電体及び基板を有し、前パネル３１に取り付けられている。センサ本体７１０は、使用者がトイレ設備１００Ａに入室して、便器装置２に予め設定した距離近づくと、人体を検知し、検知結果を照明用制御部６４へ出力するように設定されている。 The sensor body 710 has a pyroelectric body and a substrate that sense infrared rays received by the sensor window 720, and is attached to the front panel 31. The sensor main body 710 is set to detect the human body and output the detection result to the illumination control unit 64 when the user enters the toilet facility 100A and approaches the toilet device 2 by a preset distance.
　図９は、照明装置６の点灯及び消灯に関するフローチャートである。図９を参照して、照明装置６の点灯及び消灯について説明する。図９に示すように、便蓋２２が閉じているときにトイレ設備１００Ａの使用者がトイレ設備に入ると、照明用センサ７００は、使用者が所定距離近づいたところで人体を検知する（Ｓ１）。このときは、便蓋２２が閉じているので、前パネル１３の表面から人体までの間に遮蔽物がなく、照明用センサ７００は人体を検知する。照明用制御部６４は、照明用センサ７００が人体を検知すると、照明装置６を点灯する（Ｓ２）。 FIG. 9 is a flowchart regarding turning on and off the lighting device 6. Turning on and off the lighting device 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 9. As shown in FIG. 9, when the user of the toilet equipment 100A enters the toilet equipment while the toilet lid 22 is closed, the lighting sensor 700 detects the human body when the user approaches a predetermined distance (S1). .. At this time, since the toilet lid 22 is closed, there is no shield between the surface of the front panel 13 and the human body, and the illumination sensor 700 detects the human body. When the illumination sensor 700 detects a human body, the illumination control unit 64 turns on the illumination device 6 (S2).
　その後、便蓋２２が、便器装置用人体検知センサ２６の検知を受け、便蓋開閉機構２５によって自動で開く。照明用センサ７００の検知範囲は、便蓋２２の全開時に便蓋２２と重なる位置に配置しているので、人体検知後に検知範囲が便蓋２２によって遮蔽されると、照明用センサ７００は便蓋２２を検知する（Ｓ３）。照明用制御部６４は、人体検知後に照明用センサ７００が便蓋２２を検知すると、人体が存在していると判断する。照明用制御部６４は、照明用センサ７００が便蓋２２を検知したか否かを判断し、照明用センサ７００が便蓋２２を検知した場合には、便器装置２が利用中であるとして、照明装置６を点灯させ続けるように制御する（Ｓ４）。 After that, the toilet lid 22 is automatically opened by the toilet lid opening/closing mechanism 25 upon detection by the human body detection sensor 26 for the toilet device. Since the detection range of the illumination sensor 700 is arranged at a position overlapping the toilet lid 22 when the toilet lid 22 is fully opened, if the detection range is shielded by the toilet lid 22 after the human body is detected, the illumination sensor 700 will be closed. 22 is detected (S3). When the illumination sensor 700 detects the toilet lid 22 after detecting the human body, the illumination control unit 64 determines that the human body is present. The lighting control unit 64 determines whether or not the lighting sensor 700 has detected the toilet lid 22, and when the lighting sensor 700 detects the toilet lid 22, it is determined that the toilet device 2 is in use. The lighting device 6 is controlled so as to continue lighting (S4).
　便器装置用人体検知センサ２６が人体を検知しなくなると、便蓋開閉制御部２７が便蓋開閉機構２５に指示をして自動で便蓋２２を閉じる。照明用センサ７００は、照明装置６の点灯後、便蓋２２が閉じられると、遮蔽物がなくなるため、人体を検知できるようになる。照明用センサ７００が人体を検知しなければ、照明用制御部６４は、照明装置６を消灯させる（Ｓ５）。 When the human body detection sensor 26 for toilet device stops detecting the human body, the toilet lid opening/closing control unit 27 instructs the toilet lid opening/closing mechanism 25 to automatically close the toilet lid 22. When the toilet lid 22 is closed after the lighting device 6 is turned on, the lighting sensor 700 can detect the human body because the shielding object disappears. If the illumination sensor 700 does not detect a human body, the illumination control unit 64 turns off the illumination device 6 (S5).
　第２実施形態によれば、以下の効果が奏される。第２実施形態では、トイレ設備１００Ａを、便器本体２１及び便器本体２１の開口を開閉可能に覆う便蓋２２を有する便器装置２と、人体を検知する焦電式の照明用センサ７００と、便器装置２が設置されたトイレ設備１００Ａに配置され、照明用センサ７００の検知結果に基づいて作動する照明装置６と、を含んで構成した。照明用センサ７００の検知範囲を、便蓋２２の全開時に便蓋２２により遮蔽される範囲に設定させた。照明用センサ７００の検知範囲を、便蓋２２の全開時に便蓋２２により遮蔽される範囲に設定することで、便蓋２２の全開時に照明用センサ７００に便蓋２２を検知させる。照明用センサ７００が便蓋２２を検知することにより、便器装置２が利用中であると判断させることができる。このため、照明用センサ７００を焦電式、光学式又は超音波式としても、検知範囲が便蓋２２で遮蔽されることを考慮しなくてよくなり、照明用センサ７００の配置可能な範囲が広がる。よって、照明用センサ７００の取り付け位置の自由度が拡がる。 According to the second embodiment, the following effects are achieved. In the second embodiment, the toilet equipment 100A has a toilet body 2 having a toilet body 21 and a toilet lid 22 that covers the opening of the toilet body 21 in an openable and closable manner, a pyroelectric illumination sensor 700 for detecting a human body, and a toilet bowl. The lighting device 6 is arranged in the toilet equipment 100A in which the device 2 is installed, and includes the lighting device 6 that operates based on the detection result of the lighting sensor 700. The detection range of the illumination sensor 700 is set to be the range covered by the toilet lid 22 when the toilet lid 22 is fully opened. By setting the detection range of the illumination sensor 700 to the range covered by the toilet lid 22 when the toilet lid 22 is fully opened, the illumination sensor 700 is caused to detect the toilet lid 22 when the toilet lid 22 is fully opened. When the lighting sensor 700 detects the toilet lid 22, it can be determined that the toilet device 2 is in use. Therefore, even if the illumination sensor 700 is a pyroelectric type, an optical type, or an ultrasonic type, it is not necessary to consider that the detection range is shielded by the toilet lid 22, and the range in which the illumination sensor 700 can be arranged is limited. spread. Therefore, the flexibility of the mounting position of the illumination sensor 700 is expanded.
　第２実施形態では、照明用センサ７００を、便器装置２の背面側に露出して配置されるとともに便蓋２２の全開時に正面視で便蓋２２と重なる位置に配置されるセンサ窓７２０を含んで構成した。これにより、照明用センサ７００が確実に便蓋２２を検知することができるので、上記と同様の効果を奏する。 In the second embodiment, the illumination sensor 700 includes a sensor window 720 that is disposed so as to be exposed on the back side of the toilet device 2 and that is disposed at a position overlapping the toilet lid 22 in a front view when the toilet lid 22 is fully opened. Composed of. As a result, the illumination sensor 700 can reliably detect the toilet lid 22, and thus the same effect as described above can be obtained.
　第２実施形態では、センサの検知結果に基づいて作動する電気機器を、便器装置２の周囲に配置される照明装置６とした。照明用センサ７００の検知結果により照明装置６を作動させることで、背面側キャビネット３の照明装置６を必要以上に長い間点灯させておくことがなくなるので、電力の消費を抑えることができ、かつ、照明装置６の演出的効果を得ることができる。 In the second embodiment, the electric device that operates based on the detection result of the sensor is the lighting device 6 arranged around the toilet device 2. By operating the lighting device 6 according to the detection result of the lighting sensor 700, it is not necessary to keep the lighting device 6 of the rear cabinet 3 lit for an unnecessarily long period of time, so that power consumption can be suppressed, and Therefore, the dramatic effect of the lighting device 6 can be obtained.
　第２実施形態では、便器装置２を、便蓋２２の開閉を制御する便蓋開閉制御部２７と、便器本体２１に人体が接近したことを検知する便器装置用人体検知センサ２６とを含んで構成し、便器装置用人体検知センサ２６が人体の接近を検知すると、便蓋開閉制御部２７の制御により便蓋２２が開かれるように構成した。照明装置６を、照明装置６の点灯及び消灯を制御する照明用制御部６４を含んで構成した。照明用センサ７００を、便蓋２２が開いて検知範囲を遮蔽すると便蓋２２を検知するようにし、照明用制御部６４を、照明用センサ７００が便蓋２２を検知すると、点灯した状態を維持するように照明装置６を制御させた。
　照明用センサ７００が便蓋２２を検知することにより、照明用制御部６４に、便器装置２が利用中であると判断させることができる。このため、照明用センサ７００を焦電式、光学式又は超音波式としても、検知範囲が便蓋２２で遮蔽されることを考慮しなくてよくなり、上記と同様の効果を奏することができる。便器装置２が、便器装置用人体検知センサ２６及び便蓋開閉制御部２７を有することで、自動で便蓋２２を開閉させることができ、便蓋２２の開閉と照明装置６の点灯及び消灯を自動で連動させることができる。 In the second embodiment, the toilet device 2 includes a toilet lid opening/closing control unit 27 that controls opening/closing of the toilet lid 22, and a human body detection sensor 26 for toilet device that detects that a human body approaches the toilet body 21. When the human body detection sensor 26 for toilet device detects the approach of a human body, the toilet lid opening/closing control unit 27 controls the toilet lid 22 to open. The lighting device 6 is configured to include a lighting control unit 64 that controls turning on and off of the lighting device 6. The lighting sensor 700 is made to detect the toilet lid 22 when the toilet lid 22 is opened and the detection range is shielded, and the lighting control unit 64 is kept lit when the illumination sensor 700 detects the toilet lid 22. The illuminating device 6 was controlled to do so.
When the lighting sensor 700 detects the toilet lid 22, the lighting control unit 64 can determine that the toilet device 2 is in use. Therefore, even if the illumination sensor 700 is a pyroelectric type, an optical type, or an ultrasonic type, it is not necessary to consider that the detection range is shielded by the toilet lid 22, and the same effect as above can be obtained. .. Since the toilet device 2 has the human body sensor 26 for toilet device and the toilet lid opening/closing control unit 27, the toilet lid 22 can be automatically opened/closed, and the toilet lid 22 is opened/closed and the lighting device 6 is turned on/off. It can be linked automatically.
　第２実施形態では、照明装置６を、便器装置２の背面側に配置される背面側キャビネット３に取り付けた。背面側キャビネット３の照明装置６を好適に制御することができるので、便器装置２近傍を必要に応じて明るくしたり、照明装置６を消灯したりすることができる。 In the second embodiment, the lighting device 6 is attached to the back side cabinet 3 arranged on the back side of the toilet device 2. Since the lighting device 6 of the rear cabinet 3 can be controlled appropriately, the vicinity of the toilet device 2 can be brightened or the lighting device 6 can be turned off as necessary.
　以上、本開示の好ましい実施形態について説明したが、本開示は、第２実施形態に制限されるものではなく、適宜変更が可能である。例えばンサは、第２実施形態では焦電式の赤外線人体検知センサであるが、電波式以外であれば、光学式又は超音波式センサ等であってもよい。
　センサは、照明装置６に接続されているが、他の機器にも接続されてもよい。センサの検知結果に基づいて作動する電気機器は、他に、トイレ設備の冷暖房装置、音響装置、室内照明灯等であってよい。 Although the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure has been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the second embodiment and can be appropriately modified. For example, the sensor is a pyroelectric infrared human body detection sensor in the second embodiment, but may be an optical or ultrasonic sensor as long as it is not a radio wave type sensor.
The sensor is connected to the lighting device 6, but may be connected to other devices. The electric device that operates based on the detection result of the sensor may be a cooling/heating device for toilet equipment, a sound device, an indoor lighting lamp, or the like.
　便蓋２２は手動で開閉されていてもよい。この場合、便器装置２の使用者が、便蓋２２を開けた後、閉じることを忘れてトイレ設備１００Ａから離れた場合に、照明用センサ７００が便蓋２２を検知し続けていると、照明装置６点灯したままとなることが考えられる。このため、便蓋２２が手動で開閉される場合には、照明装置６は、照明用タイマーにより点灯後所定時間を計測し、所定時間経過後も便蓋２２が開かれたままの場合に、照明装置６を消灯するように設定してもよい。 The toilet lid 22 may be opened and closed manually. In this case, when the user of the toilet device 2 forgets to close the toilet lid 22 and then leaves the toilet equipment 100A by forgetting to close the toilet lid 22, if the illumination sensor 700 continues to detect the toilet lid 22 It is conceivable that the device 6 remains lit. Therefore, when the toilet lid 22 is manually opened and closed, the lighting device 6 measures a predetermined time after lighting by the lighting timer, and when the toilet lid 22 remains open after the predetermined time elapses, The lighting device 6 may be set to be turned off.
　センサは、照明装置の他に、上述の電気機器を作動させるための人体の検知を兼用するように設定してもよい。さらに、第２記実施形態では、便蓋の開閉のためのセンサと照明用センサとで別々に人体の検知を行っているが、便蓋の開閉や便座の加温、消臭等も含め、人体検知を同じセンサ及び制御部で行うように構成してもよい。 　In addition to the lighting device, the sensor may be set so as to also detect the human body for operating the above-mentioned electric equipment. Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the human body is detected separately by the sensor for opening and closing the toilet lid and the sensor for lighting, but the opening and closing of the toilet lid, heating of the toilet seat, deodorization, etc. are also included. The human body detection may be configured to be performed by the same sensor and control unit.

As shown in FIG. 10, a lower illumination device 600 may be provided between the back surface of the front panel 31B and the skirting board 32B. The lower lighting device 600 is arranged along the width direction of the lower edge of the front panel 31B. More specifically, the back side of the lower end of the front panel 31B is cut out in an L shape in a side view to form a cutout 319. A space is formed between the notch 319 at the lower end of the front panel 31B and the skirting board 32B, and the lower lighting device 600 that illuminates downward is arranged in this space. The light emitted from the lower illuminating device 600 and the light emitted from the illuminating device 6 of the above-described embodiment overlap at the widthwise outer corner of the lower end portion of the front panel 31B. The lower lighting device 600 and the lighting device 6 are arranged so as to continuously surround the lower periphery of the front panel 31B. From this, it becomes easy to visually recognize that the front panel is in a state of floating from the floor surface 103.
　下側用照明装置６００を配置した場合には、上記実施形態の照明装置６及び下側用照明装置６００の両方を、照明用センサ７００の検知によって点灯及び消灯させるか、あるいは照明用センサ７００によって点灯及び消灯させる照明装置を、上記実施形態の照明装置６のみ、又は下側用照明装置６００のみとするかを、予め設定しておいてもよい。 When the lower lighting device 600 is arranged, both the lighting device 6 and the lower lighting device 600 of the above-described embodiment are turned on and off by the detection of the lighting sensor 700, or by the lighting sensor 700. It may be set in advance whether only the lighting device 6 of the above-described embodiment or only the lower lighting device 600 is turned on and off.
