Description

The present invention relates to a toilet device.

Currently, a toilet device having a seating detection function using a micro switch is on the market. In the configuration using such a micro switch, there is room for improvement in terms of quality, such as the user feeling uncomfortable with the sinking of the toilet seat when seated, or a clicking sound although the volume is low. There is.

Therefore, it is conceivable to detect seating using a strain gauge. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which a strain gauge is attached to the back surface of a toilet seat, a hinge portion, and the like. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a configuration in which a load detecting means including a strain gauge is provided in the toilet seat.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6-88371 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-2504040

When a strain-causing body for detecting seating and a strain gauge for detecting the amount of strain of the strain-causing body are provided on the hinge portion, a configuration is conceivable in which the strain-causing body is pushed and distorted (bent) by the rotating shaft portion of the toilet seat. In such a configuration, it is assumed that the position of the toilet seat shifts when the user moves while sitting. If the position of the toilet seat shifts, the contact position of the rotation shaft portion of the toilet seat with respect to the strain-causing body shifts. For example, if the rotating shaft is displaced toward the end of the strain-causing body, the strain-causing body cannot be sufficiently distorted (deformed), the amount of strain required for seating detection cannot be detected, and seating is detected. It may not be possible.

An object of the present invention is to provide a toilet device capable of realizing stable seating detection performance regardless of the relative position of the shaft portion with respect to the strain-causing body.

The toilet device of the first invention is a casing and a toilet seat rotatably attached to the casing, and has an opening in one of the casing and the toilet seat and a shaft portion inserted into the opening in the other. The provided toilet seat and a seating detection means for detecting that the user is seated on the toilet seat, which is held by the casing or the toilet seat and receives a load from the toilet seat via the shaft portion to cause strain. A seating detection means having a strain-causing body and a strain gauge provided on the strain-causing body to detect the strain amount of the strain-causing body, and provided between the shaft portion and the strain-causing body, said A misalignment absorbing member having a load receiving portion that the shaft portion comes into contact with and receives the load of the toilet seat, a pushing portion that transmits the load received by the load receiving portion and pushes the strain-causing body, and the like. The area of the load receiving portion is wider than the area of the surface of the shaft portion in contact with the load receiving portion, and the area of the surface of the pushing portion that pushes the strain-generating body is smaller than the area of the load receiving portion. It is characterized by.
According to the first invention, since the area of the load receiving portion is larger than the area of the surface of the shaft portion in contact with the load receiving portion, the relative to the strain-causing body of the shaft portion is caused by the user moving while sitting. Even if the position shifts, the load due to the user sitting is surely applied to the load receiving portion. Moreover, since the area of the surface that pushes the strain-causing body in the pushing portion is smaller than the area of the load receiving portion, even if the shaft portion is displaced relative to the strain-causing body, the strain-causing body is removed from the pushing portion. The deviation of the pressed position can be suppressed, and the influence of the displacement of the toilet seat on the bending of the strain-causing body can be suppressed.
In the second invention, in the first invention, the casing is provided with the opening, the toilet seat is provided with the shaft portion, and the strain-causing body is held with respect to the casing below the shaft portion. It is characterized by being.
According to the second invention, the seating detection means can be provided on the hinge portion without significantly changing the existing configuration.
A third aspect of the invention is characterized in that, in the first or second invention, the regulating means for regulating the relative positional relationship between the pushing portion of the misalignment absorbing member and the strain generating body is further provided. To do.
According to the third invention, it is possible to suppress the relative position fluctuation of the pushing portion itself with respect to the strain-causing body, and it is possible to suppress the variation in the bending method of the strain-causing body.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third inventions, the push portion of the misalignment absorbing member hits the strain-causing body in a state where the user is not seated on the toilet seat. It is characterized by being in contact.
If there is a clearance between the pushing part and the strain generating body when no seating load is generated, the force to move the pushing part toward the straining body is required by that amount, so the output of the strain gauge is small. Prone. Therefore, it may affect the seating detection performance. According to the fourth invention, since the pushing portion is in contact with the strain generating body in a state where no seating load is generated, such a situation does not occur.

According to the present invention, even if the position of the toilet seat shifts due to the movement of the user while sitting, it is possible to reliably detect that the user is seated on the toilet seat.

FIG. 6A is an enlarged view of an opening forming portion in the casing 11, and FIG. 6B is a view in which the shaft portion 17 of the toilet seat 15 is inserted into the opening 20 of FIG. 6A.

As shown in FIG. 6A, an opening 20 is formed on the side surface 12 of the casing 11. In FIGS. 6A and 6B, the left side shows the front side of the toilet device 10, the right side shows the rear side of the toilet device 10, and the lower side shows the direction of gravity.

The front side surface 21 and the rear side side surface 21 of the toilet device 10 at the opening 20 are vertical faces extending in the vertical direction. The surface 22 above and the surface 23 below the side surface (vertical surface) 21 in the opening 20 are curved surfaces. The side surface 21, the upper surface 22, and the lower surface 23 of the opening 20 are continuously formed to form the contour of the opening 20.

The upper surface 22 is an upwardly convex curved surface, and the lower surface 23 is a downwardly convex curved surface. The horizontal distance between the pair of side surfaces 21 is shorter than the vertical distance between the top of the upper surface 22 and the bottom of the lower surface 23.

As shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 (b), the shaft portion 17 of the toilet seat 15 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the shaft portion 17 is inserted inside the casing 11 through the opening 20. A clearance is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 17 and the inner surface of the opening 20 (side surface 21, upper surface 22, and lower surface 23) to allow rotation of the shaft portion 17.

Due to the clearance, the toilet seat 15 can be slightly moved in the front-rear direction (left-right direction in FIG. 6B) of the toilet device 10. When the shaft portion 17 comes into contact with the side surface 21 of the opening 20, the movement of the toilet seat 15 in the front-rear direction is restricted.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a misalignment absorbing member 30 is provided inside the casing 11 at a portion where the shaft portion 17 of the toilet seat 15 is inserted.

FIG. 7A is a perspective view of the misalignment absorbing member 30, and FIG. 7B is a perspective view of the misalignment absorbing member 30 as viewed from the side opposite to that of FIG. 7A.

The misalignment absorbing member 30 has a tubular portion 31 and a pushing portion 36, which are integrally provided. Further, a regulating means 40 is provided integrally with the misalignment absorbing member 30. The regulating means 40 may be separate from the misalignment absorbing member 30.

A load receiving portion 35 is provided at the lower portion of the tubular portion 31 in the vertical direction. A part of the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion 31 is a horizontal plane, and the horizontal plane functions as a load receiving portion 35. An opening 32 is formed on one side of the tubular portion 31 in the axial direction, and a cover 33 is integrally provided on the other side.

The regulating means 40 is provided below the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 31. The regulating means 40 has an upper surface portion 41, a side surface portion 42, and a lower surface portion 43, which are integrally provided in a quadrangular frame shape. The lower surface portion 43 is not continuous in the horizontal direction and is divided by a notch, and the side surface portion 42 and the lower surface portion 43 are formed in an L-shaped cross section.

A pushing portion 36 is provided on the back surface of the upper surface portion 41 below the load receiving portion 35. The pushing portion 36 is provided as a convex portion protruding downward from the back surface of the upper surface portion 41, and extends in the axial direction of the tubular portion 31.

As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a concave holding portion 13 is provided below the opening 20 inside the side surface 12 of the casing 11. The holding portion 13 is integrally provided with the casing 11.

As shown in FIG. 5, the misalignment absorbing member 30 is provided above the holding portion 13 inside the side surface 12 of the casing 11. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the regulating means 40 is arranged in the concave holding portion 13 of the casing 11. The lower surface portion 43 of the regulating means 40 rests on the bottom of the holding portion 13, and the bottom of the holding portion 13 bears the vertical support of the regulating means 40 and the misalignment absorbing member 30.

Further, when the side surface portion 42 of the regulating means 40 comes into contact with the side surface of the holding portion 13, the movement of the regulating means 40 and the misalignment absorbing member 30 in the front-rear direction (left-right direction in FIG. 4) of the toilet device 10 is restricted. To the toilet.

As shown in FIG. 5, the shaft portion 17 of the toilet seat 15 is inserted inside the tubular portion 31 through the opening 20 of the casing 11 and the opening 32 of the tubular portion 31 of the misalignment absorbing member 30, and the shaft portion 17 is positioned. It sits on the load receiving portion 35 of the shift absorbing member 30.

With the shaft portion 17 resting on the load receiving portion 35, a clearance is secured between the shaft portion 17 and the lower surface 23 of the opening 20 of the casing 11. That is, the vertically downward load of the toilet seat 15 is not applied to the lower surface 23 of the opening 20 of the casing 11. The load receiving portion 35 of the misalignment absorbing member 30 receives the load vertically below the toilet seat 15 via the shaft portion 17.

A cover 33 is provided on the tubular portion 31 of the misalignment absorbing member 30 on the opposite side of the opening 32 into which the shaft portion 17 is inserted, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5.

As shown in FIG. 4, the strain generating body 50 is held inside the regulating means 40. The strain generating body 50 is sandwiched between the pushing portion 36 of the misalignment absorbing member 30 and the lower surface portion 43 of the regulating means 40.

The regulating means 40 regulates the relative positional relationship between the pushing portion 36 and the strain generating body 50. The side surface of the strain generating body 50 abuts on the side surface portion 42 of the regulating means 40, and the movement of the strain generating body 50 in the front-rear direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 4) is restricted.

Further, in the regulating means 40, a stopper 44 is provided near the corner between the lower surface portion 43 and the side surface portion 42 on the side of the casing 11 facing the side surface 12 (the front side of the paper surface in FIG. 7B). The stopper 44 projects upward from the upper surface on the lower surface 43 where the strain generating body 50 is arranged. The strain-causing body 50 is inserted inside the regulating means 40 from the side opposite to the side where the stopper 44 is provided. The inserted strain generating body 50 is applied to the stopper 44 and is positioned with respect to the pushing portion 36.

The regulating means 40 is supported on the holding portion 13 of the casing 11. Therefore, the strain-causing body 50 held by the regulating means 40 is held below the shaft portion 17 of the toilet seat 15 with respect to the casing 11.

The load receiving portion 35 is provided between the shaft portion 17 and the strain generating body 50, and the shaft portion 17 is in contact with the load receiving portion 35 and rides on the load receiving portion 35. A pushing portion 36 is provided between the load receiving portion 35 and the strain generating body 50. The load receiving portion 35 receives the load of the toilet seat 15 via the shaft portion 17, the load received by the load receiving portion 35 is transmitted to the pushing portion 36, and the pushing portion 36 pushes the strain generating body 50.

The strain-causing body 50 is pushed by the pushing portion 36 and bends, causing strain in the strain-causing body 50. The strain generating body 50 is made of a metal material, for example, a stainless steel material. Alternatively, the strain generating body 50 may be made of a resin material.

The shaft portion 17 is in contact with the load receiving portion 35. For example, the area of the load receiving portion 35 formed as a horizontal plane is larger than the area of the surface (a part of the outer peripheral surface) of the shaft portion 17 that contacts the load receiving portion 35. The area of the surface of the pushing portion 36 that pushes the strain generating body 50 is smaller than the area of the load receiving portion 35.

In a state where the strain generating body 50 is arranged inside the regulating means 40, the strain generating body 50 hits the pushing portion 36, and the strain generating body 50 is sandwiched between the pushing portion 36 and the upper surface of the lower surface portion 43. .. That is, the pushing portion 36 hits the strain generating body 50 in a state where the person is not seated on the toilet seat and no seating load is generated. At this time, the output voltage corresponding to the amount of strain of the strain generating body 50 detected by the strain gauge 60 is smaller than the seating detection voltage.

The clearance between the push portion 36 and the strain generating body 50 when no seating load is generated is such that when the load receiving portion 35 receives the seating load from the shaft portion 17, the load receiving portion 35 and the pushing portion 36 Allows deformation of the part between and. Deformation of the portion between the load receiving portion 35 and the pushing portion 36 before the pushing portion 36 pushes the strain generating body 50 affects the accurate and stable transmission of the seating load to the strain generating body 50. In some cases. Further, if there is a clearance between the pushing portion 36 and the strain generating body 50 when the seating load is not generated, a force for moving the pushing portion 36 toward the strain generating body 50 is required by that amount. The output of the strain gauge 60 tends to be small. Therefore, it may affect the seating detection performance.

According to the embodiment, since the pushing portion 36 that has received the seating load pushes the straining body 50 from the state where there is no clearance between the pushing portion 36 and the strain generating body 50, the seating load is accurately applied to the strain generating body 50. Moreover, it can be transmitted stably.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the regulating means 40 and the misalignment absorbing member 30 in a state where the strain generating body 50 is held, as viewed from below.

As shown in FIG. 8, a strain gauge 60 for detecting the amount of strain of the strain generating body 50 is provided on the back surface (lower surface) of the strain generating body 50. The strain gauge 60 is formed in a region on the back surface of the strain generating body 50 that is not covered by the lower surface portion 43 of the regulating means 40. The strain gauge 60 faces the bottom of the holding portion 13 shown in FIG. 4 via a space.

The strain-causing body 50 and the strain gauge 60 constitute a seating detection means for detecting that the user has been seated on the toilet seat 15.

FIG. 9 is a circuit block diagram of the toilet device 10 of the embodiment.

The strain gauge 60 has, for example, a metal film patterned on a resin film to form a Wheatstone bridge circuit. When a force is applied to the strain-causing body 50 and strain is generated in the strain-causing body 50, the resistance value of the strain gauge 60 changes, and the output voltage of the Wheatstone bridge circuit changes.

The output voltage of the Wheatstone bridge circuit is input to the control unit 90 via the amplifier 80, and the control unit 90 controls various devices of the toilet device 10 according to the presence or absence of seating detection.

10 (a) and 10 (b) are schematic views for explaining the operation of the misalignment absorbing member 40 of the embodiment.

FIG. 10A shows a state in which no seating load is generated. When a seating load is generated, as shown in FIG. 10B, the pushing portion 36 pushes the strain generating body 50, and the straining body 50 bends (deforms). In FIG. 10B, the deformation of the strain generating body 50 is exaggerated and schematically shown.

The shaft portion 17 of the toilet seat 15 does not directly push the strain generating body 50, the load receiving portion 35 of the misalignment absorbing member 30 temporarily receives the load of the shaft portion 17, and the misalignment absorbing member 30 absorbs the misalignment of the toilet seat 15. can do.

Since the area of the load receiving portion 35 is larger than the area of the surface of the shaft portion 17 that contacts the load receiving portion 35, it can be used even if the position of the shaft portion 17 of the toilet seat 15 is displaced due to the movement of the user while sitting. The load due to the person sitting down can be reliably received by the load receiving portion 35. Moreover, since the area of the surface 36a that pushes the strain generating body 50 in the pushing portion 36 is smaller than the area of the load receiving portion 35, the strain generating body 50 is pushed from the pushing portion 36 even if the shaft portion 17 is displaced. The misalignment of the shaft portion 17 is suppressed, and the misalignment of the shaft portion 17 does not affect the bending of the strain generating body 50.

That is, even if the position of the shaft portion 17 in the load receiving portion 35 fluctuates, the load in the vertical direction is transmitted from the pushing portion 36 to the specific portion of the strain generating body 50 regardless of the contact position of the shaft portion 17. To. The deflection (strain amount) of the strain generating body 50 depends on the magnitude of the load in the vertical direction without being affected by the position of the shaft portion 17.

For example, even when the shaft portion 17 is located directly above the center of the strain generating body 50 as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 10 (b), it is deviated from that position to the position indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 10 (b). Even in this case, the same vertical load is transmitted to the pushing portion 36.

Then, as described above, since the regulating means 40 regulates the relative positional relationship between the pushing portion 36 and the strain generating body 50, the position where the pushing portion 36 pushes the strain generating body 50 does not change and pushes. The portion 36 pushes the same specific portion of the strain generating body 50, the strain generating body 50 flexes in the same manner, and the amount of strain detected by the strain gauge 60 becomes the same.

Even if the user moves while sitting and the shaft portion 17 deviates from the center of the strain-causing body 50, the flexure (strain) required for seating detection can be generated in the strain-causing body 50, and the user can move to the toilet seat 15. It is possible to reliably detect that the person has been seated.

The load receiving portion 35 is not limited to a flat surface, but may be a curved surface, and even in that case, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

Further, according to the embodiment, when the shaft portion 17 comes into contact with the opening 20 due to the movement of the toilet seat 15 in the front-rear direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 4), a force (horizontal load) applied from the shaft portion 17 to the opening 20 is applied. ) Is provided with a force release means to release it so that it is not converted in the vertical direction. The force relief means is specifically the side surface 21 of the opening 20 formed as a vertical plane.

The side surface 21 of the region (range) in which the shaft portion 17 can come into contact with the opening 20 is vertically opposed. Therefore, even if the shaft portion 17 comes into contact with the side surface (vertical surface) 21, the shaft portion 17 only receives a reaction force in the horizontal direction from the opening 20 and does not receive a force in the vertical direction. Therefore, the force applied in the vertical direction from the shaft portion 17 to the strain generating body 50 in a state where the shaft portion 17 is not in contact with the side surface 21 of the opening 20 is a state in which the shaft portion 17 is in contact with the side surface 21 of the opening 20. It does not change and is maintained.

That is, the load applied in the vertical direction to the strain generating body 50 when the user is seated on the toilet seat 15 is not affected by the load due to the weight shift in the front-back direction of the user, and the original vertical load is surely generated. Since it is applied to the strain body 50, it can be reliably detected that the user is seated on the toilet seat 15. Further, since the vertical load converted from the horizontal load is not transmitted to the strain generating body 50, an excessive load is not applied to the strain generating body 50, and damage to the strain generating body 50 and the strain gauge 60 can be prevented.

According to the embodiment configured in this way, since the seating detection means is provided at the hinge portion where the strain amount of the strain generating body 50 tends to be small, the strain generating body 50 can detect the seating even with a small load. Even if a horizontal load is generated due to the movement of the weight of the user, the load is not transmitted to the strain generating body 50, so that the strain generating body 50 and the strain gauge 60 can be prevented from being damaged.

That is, according to the embodiment, the simple configuration in which the side surface 21 of the opening 20 faces vertically improves the seating detection performance against a small load and prevents damage to the strain generating body 50 and the strain gauge 60 due to an excessive load. It can be compatible.

FIG. 11 (a) is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the vertical direction of the hinge portion of another embodiment, and FIG. 11 (b) is a part of FIG. 11 (a) viewed from the left side from the line DD. It is a cross-sectional side view.

In the hinge portions shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, a shaft portion 151 is provided in the casing 150, and an opening 170 into which the shaft portion 151 is inserted is formed on the toilet seat 15 side.

The toilet seat 15 has a toilet seat body 16 shown in FIG. 1A and a hollow shaft portion 160 shown in FIG. 11A, and the toilet seat body 16 is coupled to the hollow shaft portion 160. An opening 170 is formed in the hollow shaft portion 160, and the shaft portion 151 of the casing 150 is inserted into the opening 170.

The hollow shaft portion 160 is rotatable around the shaft portion 151, so that the toilet seat 15 rotates about the shaft portion 151 of the casing 150 as a fulcrum.

The strain generating body 50 is held on the inner wall of the hollow shaft portion 160 on the toilet seat side. A strain gauge 60 is provided on the upper surface of the strain generating body 50. The strain generating body 50 is provided above the shaft portion 151 of the casing 150, and a misalignment absorbing member 30 is provided between the strain generating body 50 and the shaft portion 151.

The hollow shaft portion 160 of the toilet seat 15 holding the strain-causing body 50 rests on the shaft portion 151 of the casing 150 via the misalignment absorbing member 30. That is, the shaft portion 151 of the casing 150 receives the vertically downward load of the toilet seat 150 via the misalignment absorbing member 30, and causes strain in the strain generating body 50. The strain amount of the strain generating body 50 is detected by the strain gauge 60.

The hinge portions shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B are also provided with the same misalignment absorbing member 30 as in the above embodiment. Since the area of the load receiving portion of the misalignment absorbing member 30 is larger than the area of the surface of the shaft portion 151 that contacts the load receiving portion, the hollow shaft portion 160 of the toilet seat 15 is relative to each other when the user moves while seated. Even if the position is displaced with respect to the shaft portion 151, the load due to the user sitting is surely applied to the load receiving portion.

Moreover, since the area of the surface that pushes the strain generating body 50 in the pushing portion is smaller than the area of the load receiving portion, even if the toilet seat 15 is displaced, the displacement of the position where the strain generating body 50 is pushed from the pushing portion is suppressed. Therefore, the displacement of the toilet seat 15 does not affect how the straining body 50 bends.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention.
