Description
本発明は、便座の製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to the production how the toilet seat.
従来から、振動溶着による便座の製造方法が知られている(例えば特許文献1参照)。特許文献1に記載されている便座の製造方法は、座部を底部に振動溶着により接合し、便座を形成している。
Conventionally, a method for manufacturing a toilet seat by vibration welding is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the method for manufacturing a toilet seat described in
ところで、便器では、便座にかかる荷重を、便座を厚肉にすることにより支えていた。しかし、厚肉の便座では、便座が臀部に沿って撓まないため、座り心地が悪くなり、またヒータで便座を温める際、便座が温まり難くなっていた。そこで、便座を薄肉にし、便座を撓み易くすることにより、便座の形状を臀部に沿わせるようにし、またヒータの熱が便座に熱伝導し易くなるようにした。しかし、便座が薄肉であると、便座にかかる荷重を支持できない虞があるため、便座の内部に便座を支持する支持部63が配設されることになった。 By the way, in the toilet bowl, the load applied to the toilet seat is supported by making the toilet seat thick. However, in the thick toilet seat, the toilet seat does not bend along the buttocks, so the seating comfort is poor, and when the toilet seat is warmed by the heater, the toilet seat is difficult to warm up. Therefore, by making the toilet seat thin and making it easy to bend, the shape of the toilet seat is made to conform to the buttocks, and the heat of the heater is easily conducted to the toilet seat. However, if the toilet seat is thin, there is a possibility that the load applied to the toilet seat cannot be supported. Therefore, the support portion 63 that supports the toilet seat is disposed inside the toilet seat.
支持部63が配設される便座の製造方法について示す。まず、図4(a)に示すように、座部61を座面支持具66に設置する。前記座部61の裏面にヒータ64を接着し、ヒータ64の裏面に緩衝材65を接着し、そして支持部63を緩衝材65の裏に座部61を密着させて配設する。次に、図4(b)に示すように、底部62の端部と座部61と支持部63の端部を合せるように、底部62を嵌め込んだ振動冶具67を座面支持具66に載置する。そして、加圧し振動溶着を行うことにより、底部62の端部と座部61と支持部63の端部が固定され、図4(c)に示すような便座を設けることができていた。 A method for manufacturing a toilet seat on which the support portion 63 is disposed will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 4A, the seat portion 61 is installed on the seat surface support 66. The heater 64 is bonded to the back surface of the seat portion 61, the buffer material 65 is bonded to the back surface of the heater 64, and the support portion 63 is disposed in close contact with the back surface of the buffer material 65. Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the vibration jig 67 in which the bottom 62 is fitted so that the end of the bottom 62 and the end of the seat 61 and the support 63 are aligned is attached to the seat support 66. Place. By pressurizing and performing vibration welding, the end of the bottom 62, the seat 61, and the end of the support 63 are fixed, and a toilet seat as shown in FIG. 4C can be provided.
このとき、便座の内部に、荷重を支持する支持部63、ヒータ64、緩衝材65といった成形品を配設する際、支持部63はヒータ64と緩衝材65を介して座部61と密着して配設される必要があった。支持部63と座部61が密着して配設された後、振動溶着で座部61と支持部63と底部62とを固定することにより、望ましい便座を得ることができる。しかしながら、支持部63と座部61を密着させるには、座部61に対して支持部63の形状が一致していなくてはならず、支持部63と座部61の高い寸法精度が要求されていた。その高い寸法精度を達成し難いため、支持部63と座部61とが全周に亘って形状を一致させることは困難であった。 At this time, when the molded product such as the support portion 63 that supports the load, the heater 64, and the cushioning material 65 is disposed inside the toilet seat, the support portion 63 is in close contact with the seat portion 61 via the heater 64 and the cushioning material 65. It was necessary to be arranged. After the support part 63 and the seat part 61 are disposed in close contact with each other, a desired toilet seat can be obtained by fixing the seat part 61, the support part 63, and the bottom part 62 by vibration welding. However, in order to bring the support portion 63 and the seat portion 61 into close contact with each other, the shape of the support portion 63 must match the seat portion 61, and high dimensional accuracy of the support portion 63 and the seat portion 61 is required. It was. Since it is difficult to achieve the high dimensional accuracy, it is difficult for the support portion 63 and the seat portion 61 to have the same shape over the entire circumference.
本発明は上記従来の問題点に鑑みて発明したものであって、その目的とするところは、支持部と座部の形状の誤差を自動で吸収する便座の製造方法を提供することを課題とするものである。 The present invention was invented in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide a toilet seat manufacturing method that automatically absorbs errors in the shapes of the support section and the seat section.

以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基いて説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
本実施形態の便器に取付けられる便座4は、座部2と、底部3と、ヒータ41と、緩衝材42と、支持部1と、で形成される。
The
座部2は、合成樹脂によって形成され、平面視環状をしてその周方向に垂直な断面において上方に凸となり、上面が座面21となっている。本実施形態では、図3に示すように、座部2の内周端に位置する底端面22aは、内周側へ行く程座面21側に位置するように傾斜し、座部2の外周端に位置する底端面22bは、外周側へ行く程座面21側に位置するように傾斜している。傾斜については後で詳述する。
The
底部3は、合成樹脂により形成され、平面視環状をしてその周方向に垂直な断面においてU字状になっている。
The
ヒータ41は、座部2の内周端と座部2の外周端との間の裏面に設けられる。ヒータ41は、ニクロム線等の電熱線やいわゆるPTCヒータやマイクロチュービングヒータが適宜用いられる。
The
緩衝材42は、座部2の内周端と座部2の外周端との間の裏面にヒータ41を介して設けられ、便座4に荷重がかかった際にヒータ41を保護するために配設されている。緩衝材42は、ゴム等の弾性に富んだ部材で形成され、且つ熱に耐性を持つ材質であることが好ましい。
The
支持部1は、合成樹脂により形成され、便座4に荷重がかかった際に、荷重を支えるためのものであり、平面視環状をしてその周方向に垂直な断面において上方に凸となっている。支持部1の上面は、座部2の裏面に設けられる緩衝材42に沿う支持面11となっている。
The
図3に示すように支持部1の内周端に位置する底端面12aは、内周側へ行く程支持面11と反対側に位置するように傾斜し、支持部1の外周端に位置する底端面12bは、外周側へ行く程支持面11と反対側に位置するように傾斜している。傾斜については後で詳述する。
As shown in FIG. 3, the bottom end surface 12 a located at the inner peripheral end of the
図1に示すように、支持部1の内周端に位置する底端部13aの周方向の一部に周方向に分断する切欠14が備えられている。また、支持部1の外周端に位置する底端部13bの周方向の一部に周方向に分断する切欠14が備えられている。切欠14は、本実施形態では図1に示すように、支持部1の中央近傍まで設けられており、また切欠14は支持部1の周方向に複数設けられている。切欠14については後に詳述する。
As shown in FIG. 1, a
図1に示すように、支持部1の内周端に位置する底端部13aの周方向の一部に周方向に垂直な方向にリブ15が設けられている。また、支持部1の外周端に位置する底端部13bの周方向の一部に周方向に周方向に垂直なリブ15が設けられている。
As shown in FIG. 1, a
振動溶着を行う冶具は、振動冶具51と座面支持具52とで形成されている。
A jig for performing vibration welding is formed of a
振動冶具51は底部3に沿うような凹面を有し、凹面に底部3の下面が嵌め込まれて、振動冶具51に底部3が固定される。
The
座面支持具52は座面21に沿うような凹面を有し、ヒータ41と緩衝材42が座部2に設けられた状態で、振動溶着の加圧に対する耐変形性を付与し、座面21と当接することにより座部2が支持されている。なお、本実施形態では、ヒータ41と緩衝材42は接着剤等で接着されるが、これに限定されない。
The
支持部1は、支持面11が座部2に設けられた緩衝材42に沿うように座部2内に配置される。支持部1の内周端の底端部13aが座部2の内周端の底端部23aと隣接し、支持部1の外周端の底端部13bが座部2の外周端の底端部23bに隣接するように配置される。
The
底部3が取付けられた振動冶具51を、座部2とヒータ41と緩衝材42と支持部1とが取付けられた座面支持具52の上方から覆うように載置する。そして、振動冶具51を加圧していく。底部3の内周端の底端面31aと、支持部1の内周端の傾斜した底端面12aと座部2の内周端の傾斜した底端面22aと、が加圧される。また、底部3の外周端の底端面31bと、支持部1の外周端の傾斜した底端面12bと座部2の外周端の傾斜した底端面22bと、が加圧される。上述した傾斜が設けられていることにより、振動溶着により固定される際、加圧力が傾斜により左右方向に押し広げられる方向の力に変換され、支持部1と座部2の傾斜が左右方向に広げられる。そして、支持部1の内周端の底端部13aが座部2の内周端の底端部23aに圧接し、支持部1の外周端の底端部13bが座部2の外周端の底端部23bに圧接する。支持部1が加圧され部材と圧接する際、切欠14の支持部1の中心方向の先端が角張っていると応力集中が起こり支持部1が割れ易くなる。従って、図2(a)に示すように先端の形状を円にしたり、図2(b)に示すように角を滑らかにしたりしている。これらの圧接した状態で、座部2の底端面22と支持部1の底端面12と底部3の底端面31とが振動溶着により固定される。
The
以上より、上記した便座4の製造方法によれば、支持部1に切欠14を設けることにより、支持部1が切欠14を持たない場合よりも支持部1の形状を変形させることができる。そして、切欠14が多数設けられている場合、支持部1が複数に分断されている。そのため、座部2と支持部1と底部3とが振動溶着で固定される際、支持部1が分断されている部分毎に座部2に沿うように変形することができる。従って、支持部1と座部2に寸法誤差があっても、支持部1と座部2とは密着させることができる。
As described above, according to the method for manufacturing the
また、支持部1の底端面12aの傾斜と座部2の底端面22aの傾斜と、支持部1の底端面12bの傾斜と座部2の底端面22bの傾斜と、が設けられていることにより、振動冶具51を介しての加圧により、上記した傾斜が左右方向に広げられる。従って、支持部1と座部2とを密着させることができる。
