Description

The present invention relates to a lifting device for a sanitary washing device.

A known sanitary washing device has upward openings on both sides of a support plate fixed to the toilet bowl, a long groove with the rear portion sloping downward from the front portion, and a slide pin attached to a fixed plate attached to the bottom of the toilet seat assembly. The slide pin is inserted into the long groove through the opening, allowing the toilet to slide back and forth within the long groove. The casing body can also be rotated at any position within the long groove, allowing the user to clean the bottom of the casing body. (See, for example, Patent Document 1.)

There is also a known sanitary washing device that tilts the device relative to the toilet bowl and separates the bottom of the casing body from the toilet bowl, allowing the bottom of the casing body to be cleaned. (See, for example, Patent Document 2.)

JP2009-118930 Public Relations Patent Publication No. 2014-218864

In the sanitary washing device structure of Patent Document 1, if it is desired to increase the amount by which the casing body is raised relative to the top surface of the toilet bowl, this can be achieved by lengthening the long grooves in the support plate in the front-to-back and up-to-down directions.

However, if the long grooves are made longer as described above, the support plate itself will become larger, which will make it easier for dirt to accumulate on the support plate and its surrounding area, and it will be more difficult to remove the dirt, reducing cleanability.

Furthermore, in the structure of the sanitary washing device in Patent Document 2, if the amount by which the casing body is raised relative to the top surface of the toilet bowl is to be increased, the inclination of the casing body must be increased, and if the inclination is increased, there is a concern that the casing body and the toilet lid attached to the casing body may interfere with the rear wall or tank.

One aspect of this embodiment aims to provide a sanitary washing device that is easy to clean without interfering with the rear wall or tank.

One embodiment of the sanitary washing device comprises a casing body placed on the top surface of a toilet body, and a link member that moves the casing body relative to the top surface of the toilet body. The casing body has a lowered state before the link member moves the casing body relative to the top surface of the toilet body, and an elevated state after the link member has moved the casing body relative to the top surface of the toilet body. The link member comprises a first link member that moves at least the front portion of the casing body away from the top surface of the toilet body, and a second link member that is separate from the first link member and moves at least the front portion of the casing body forward.

With this sanitary washing device, at least the front part of the casing body moves vertically away from the top surface of the toilet body and forward, making it easy to clean the front bottom surface of the casing body, which is prone to getting dirty. Furthermore, because the first link member and second link member are separate, it is possible to provide a sanitary washing device that is easy to clean without increasing the size of the parts or interfering with the rear wall or tank.

Also, preferably, the sanitary washing device is characterized in that the bottom surface of the casing body is inclined at an angle that is more forward in the raised state than in the lowered state.

With this sanitary washing device, when a user cleans from the front, the bottom surface of the casing body is easily visible to the user, improving cleanability.

Also preferably, the sanitary washing device is characterized in that when the casing body is transitioned from the lowered state to the raised state, the casing body is moved without tilting the bottom surface of the casing body.

With this sanitary cleaning device, the bottom of the casing body is raised without tilting, which improves cleaning performance without interfering with the rear wall or tank.

Furthermore, preferably, the raised state of the casing body includes a first state and a second state in which the front of the casing body is positioned further forward than in the first state.

This sanitary washing device allows users to select either the first or second raised state, which makes cleaning easier, thereby improving cleaning performance.

Also preferably, the sanitary washing device is characterized in that the casing body maintains its posture when in the raised state.

This sanitary washing device maintains its posture in the raised position, preventing the casing body from tipping over while the user is cleaning.

Also preferably, the sanitary washing device is characterized by having a guide portion that guides the movement of the link member when the casing body is transitioned from the lowered state to the raised state.

This sanitary washing device moves along a guide, eliminating any rattle in any direction other than the direction of movement, and preventing abnormal noises from occurring when it is raised.

Also preferably, the sanitary washing device is characterized by having a deceleration means for decelerating the moving speed of the casing body when the casing body transitions from the lowered state to the raised state.

This sanitary washing device prevents the casing body from rising too quickly when the user lifts it, preventing the user from being surprised.

Also preferably, the sanitary washing device is characterized by including an engagement portion that engages the first link member with the toilet body, the engagement portion being located below the top surface of the toilet body.

With this sanitary washing device, the engagement part is located below the top of the toilet bowl, in an area where waste is less likely to enter, making it possible to reduce the number of areas that need to be cleaned.

Also, preferably, the sanitary washing device is characterized in that the second link member is positioned on the rear side of the toilet body.

With this sanitary washing device, the second link member is located at the rear of the casing body, in a location that is less susceptible to the entry of waste, making it possible to reduce the number of areas that need to be cleaned.

Also, preferably, the link member is provided with an elastic body, and the elastic force of the elastic body is used to move the casing body relative to the upper surface of the toilet body.

This sanitary washing device allows the casing body to be raised to the raised position with a simple configuration.

Also, preferably, the link member is equipped with an electric motor, and the sanitary washing device is characterized in that the electric force of the electric motor is used to move the casing body relative to the upper surface of the toilet body.

This sanitary washing device allows for stable lifting without relying on the weight of the sanitary washing device.

In one embodiment, by separating the link member into a first link member and a second link member, it is possible to increase the amount of lift that the casing body can be raised relative to the top surface of the toilet bowl without increasing the size of the components.

Embodiments of the lifting device disclosed herein will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

First, a toilet device 2 to which a sanitary washing device 1 according to an embodiment is applied will be described with reference to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of the toilet device 2. For ease of explanation, Figure 1 illustrates a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. In the Cartesian coordinate system, the positive direction of the X axis is defined as "forward" and the negative direction as "backward," the positive direction of the Y axis is defined as "leftward" and the negative direction as "rightward," and the positive direction of the Z axis is defined as "upward" and the negative direction as "downward." For this reason, in the following description, the X axis direction may be referred to as the left-right direction, the Y axis direction as the front-to-back direction, and the Z axis direction as the up-down direction. The Cartesian coordinate system is also illustrated in other figures.

The toilet device 2 comprises a Western-style seated toilet bowl (hereinafter simply referred to as the toilet bowl) 3 and a sanitary washing device 1. The sanitary washing device 1 is attached to the top surface of the toilet bowl 3.

The toilet bowl 3 is made of, for example, ceramic. The toilet bowl 3 is formed with a bowl portion 3a. The bowl portion 3a is concave downward and is the portion that receives the user's excrement. The toilet bowl 3 is not limited to being a floor-standing type as shown in the figure, but may also be a wall-mounted type. The toilet device 2 may also be equipped with a flush water tank (not shown) that stores flush water at the rear of the toilet bowl 3, or may be a so-called tankless type that does not have a flush water tank.

The sanitary washing device 1 comprises a casing body 4, a toilet seat 5, and a toilet lid 6. The toilet lid 6 is provided as needed for the sanitary washing device 1 and can be omitted.

The casing body 4 is positioned rearward of the bowl portion 3a on the top surface of the toilet bowl 3. The casing body 4 pivotally supports the toilet seat 5 and toilet lid 6.

The casing body 4 houses functional parts (not shown), such as a cleaning nozzle unit and a deodorizing unit. The casing body 4 also has a lifting device (see Figure 2, etc.) that allows the functional parts to be raised and lowered relative to the toilet bowl 3. By using the lifting device 7 to raise at least the front part of the casing body 4, the toilet bowl 3 below the casing body 4 can be easily cleaned. The lifting device 7 raises the toilet seat 5, toilet lid 6, etc. along with part or all of the casing body 4.

The lifting device 7 comprises a fixed portion 8, a rotating portion 9, and a link member 45. The link member 45 is composed of a first link member 10 and a second link member 11 that is separate from the first link member 10. The first link member 10 functions to move the rotating portion 9 upward, while the second link member 11 functions to move at least the front portion of the casing main body 4 forward. Specifically, when moving the casing main body 4 from a lowered state to a raised state, the second link member 11 moves at least the front portion 4a of the casing main body 4 further forward than when it was in the lowered state. This allows for upward and forward movement when lifting the casing main body 4 relative to the upper surface 3b of the toilet bowl 3.

Next, the link member 45 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 5. Figure 2 is a bottom view of the lifting device 7. Figure 3 is a perspective view of the lifting device 7 from the bottom left. Figure 4 is a schematic perspective view of the first link member 10. Figure 5 is a cross section taken along line AA in Figure 3.

The first link member 10 comprises a shaft portion 12, a support portion 13, a torsion spring 14, a case portion 15, and a lid portion 32. The torsion spring 14 abuts against and covers the shaft portion 12, and is housed in the bearing portion 15a of the case portion 15. The shaft portion 12 is integral with the support portion 13, which is exposed from the bearing portion 15a. With the shaft portion 12 housed in the bearing portion 15a, the lid portion 32 and the case portion 15 are fixed with a screw 39. The first link member 10 utilizes the torsional torque, which is the elastic force of the torsion spring 14, which is an elastic body, to rotate the support portion 13 relative to the fixed portion 8, allowing the rotating portion 9 to move upwardly away from the fixed portion 8.

The second link member 11 is attached to the rear side of the toilet bowl 3 and includes a mounting hole (not shown) and a guide portion 18. The second link member 12 is fixed to the toilet bowl 3 by inserting a screw (not shown) through the mounting hole 17. The guide portion 18 forms a long groove in at least the front-to-rear direction, and the mounting base 23 (described below) is provided with a pivot shaft 17 that abuts against the guide portion 18. When the first link member 10 moves the pivot portion 9 away from the fixed portion 8, the pivot shaft 17 of the mounting base 23 moves forward along the long groove of the guide portion 18, allowing at least the front portion 4a of the casing main body 4 to move forward. When the pivot shaft 17 reaches the end 18a of the guide portion 18, it has completed its upward and forward movement relative to the top surface 3b of the toilet bowl 3, i.e., it is in a raised state, and can maintain its position in the raised state.

When the fixing part 8 is attached to the toilet 3, the link member 45 can be in a lowered or raised state.

In the lowered state (see Figure 6), the rotating part 9 is lowered and attached to the fixed part 8 by the attachment mechanism 19 (see Figure 10), which will be described later. In the raised state (see Figure 7), the rotating part 9 is not attached to the fixed part 8 by the attachment mechanism 19, and at least the front part 4a of the casing main body 4 has moved upward and forward. In the raised state (see Figure 7), the casing main body 4 is tilted at a more forward angle than in the lowered state (see Figure 6).

The fixed portion 8 will be described with reference to Figures 8 and 9. Figure 8 is a perspective view of the fixed portion 8 as seen from the rear right. Figure 9 is a front view of the fixed portion 8 as seen from the front.

The fixing part 8 is attached to the toilet bowl 3 (see Figure 1) and fixed below (not shown) the top surface 3b of the toilet bowl 3. The fixing part 8 is made of resin. As shown in Figure 8, the fixing part 8 includes a support post receiving part 20, a first engagement part 21, and a protrusion 22.

The support post receiving portion 20 is formed approximately in the center of the front end of the fixed portion 8. The support post portion 14 rotates around the support post receiving portion 20 as a fulcrum, allowing the rotating portion 9 to be moved upward away from the fixed portion 8.

The first engagement portion 21 is formed at the front end of the fixed portion 8.

Two through holes 21a are formed in the first engagement portion 21, side by side in the left-right direction. The heights of the upper wall surfaces 21b of the two through holes 21a are different.

An inclined surface 21c is formed at the upper end of the first engagement portion 21. The inclined surface 21c is formed so as to connect the upper surface 21d of the first engagement portion 21 with the rear wall surface 21e of the first engagement portion 21.

The inclined surface 21c is formed at least at the upper portion of the through-hole 21a. The inclined surface 21c is inclined so that its height decreases toward the rear.

The protrusion 22 protrudes upward from the bottom surface 8a of the fixed part, rearward of the first engagement part 21. Two protrusions 22 are formed, spaced apart in the left-right direction.

Next, the rotating unit 9 will be described with reference to Figures 10 to 12. Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view showing a portion of the cross section BB in Figure 2. Figure 11 is a bottom view of the lifting device 7 as seen from below. Figure 12 is a front view of the area around the case unit 15 as seen from the front.

As shown in Figure 10, the rotating part 9 includes an attachment base 23 and an attachment mechanism 19.

The mounting substrate 23 supports the functional unit. The mounting substrate 23 is made of resin. As shown in Figure 11, the mounting substrate 23 is formed on a frame and has a thick portion 25 forward of the center in the front-to-rear direction.

The case portion 15, which protrudes downward, is attached to the thick portion 25 with screws 26.

The case portion 15 has insertion holes 27. Two insertion holes 27 are formed side by side in the left-right direction. The second engagement portion 22 of the fixing portion 8 is inserted into the insertion holes 27 of the case portion 15 to enable engagement.

Also, as shown in Figure 12, a first recess 28 is formed in the case portion 15.

Two first recesses 28 are formed side by side in the left-right direction. The spring 29 and retaining portion 30 of the attachment mechanism 19 are inserted into the first recesses 28.

A guide groove 28b is formed on the side wall surface 28a of the first recess 28. The guide groove 28b is formed on each side wall surface 28a. The guide groove 28b is formed along the front-to-rear direction. The first protrusion 31 (see Figure 13) of the holding part 30 is inserted into the guide groove 28b. The guide groove 28b is formed to allow the holding part 30 to move along the front-to-rear direction and to restrict movement of the holding part 30 in the up-and-down direction.

As shown in Figure 10, one end of the spring 29 abuts against the front wall surface 28c of the first recess 28, and a protrusion 28d that holds the spring 29 is formed on the front wall surface 28c.

As shown in FIG. 15, the case 15 also has a second recess 33 formed downward from the upper wall surface 24. The second recess 33 is formed along the left-right direction. The operating part 34 (see FIG. 16) of the attachment mechanism 19 is disposed in the second recess 33. A first opening 28e of the first recess 28 is formed in the bottom 33a near the center of the second recess 33 in the left-right direction. In other words, the first recess 28 and the second recess 33 are connected to each other.

Next, the mounting mechanism 19 will be described with reference to Figures 10, 13, 14, and 16. Figure 16 is an exploded view showing part of the lifting device 7. Figure 13 is a plan view of the holding unit 30. Figure 14 is a side view of the holding unit 30 as seen from the left. As shown in Figure 10, the mounting mechanism 19 comprises the holding unit 30, an operating unit 34, and a spring 29.

The holding portion 30 is formed in a block shape. Two holding portions 30 are provided side by side in the left-right direction. As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the holding portion 30 includes a step portion 38, a first protrusion 31, and a second protrusion 40.

The step portion 38 is formed in a stepped shape facing forward. The step portion 38 is formed with an engagement surface 38a and an abutment surface 38b that extends upward from the engagement surface 38a. The step portion 38 is formed so as to have three steps, including the upper wall surface 30a of the holding portion 30. Note that the number of steps in the step portion 38 is not limited to three, and may be one, two, four or more.

The engagement surface 38a is formed so that it can engage with the upper wall 21b (see Figure 9) of the first engagement portion 21 of the fixed portion 8. The holding portion 30 restricts vertical movement by abutting the engagement surface 38a of the step portion 38 against the upper wall 21b.

The abutment surface 38b is formed perpendicular to the engagement surface 38a. The abutment surface 38b is formed so that it can abut against the tip of the upper wall 21b, i.e., the rear wall surface 21e (see Figure 8) of the first engagement portion 21 of the fixing portion 8. When the upper wall 21b abuts against the engagement surface 38a, the abutment surface 38b abuts against the tip of the upper wall 21b, restricting rearward movement of the holding portion 30. In other words, the abutment surface 38b functions as a stopper. The holding portion 30 restricts rearward movement by abutting the abutment surface 38b of the step portion 38 against the upper wall surface 21b.

In addition, an inclined surface 38c is formed at the lower end of the step portion 38. The inclined surface 38c is inclined so that its height increases toward the front.

The first protrusions 31 protrude in the left-right direction from the side wall surfaces 30b of the holding portion 30. The first protrusions 31 are formed on each side wall surface 30b. The first protrusions 31 are inserted into the guide grooves 28b (see Figure 12) of the mounting base 23.

The second protrusion 40 protrudes upward from the upper wall surface 30a of the holding portion 30. The second protrusion 40 protrudes into the first opening 28e (see Figure 15) of the mounting substrate 23.

The second protrusion 40 is formed from the front left toward the rear right. In other words, the front wall surface 40a of the second protrusion 40 is formed so that it is positioned further rearward as it moves from right to left.

As shown in Figure 10, the holding portion 30 has a recess 41 formed rearward from the rear wall surface 30d. The spring 29 is inserted into the recess 41. The other end of the spring 29 abuts against the front wall surface 41a of the recess 41. A fourth protrusion 41b that holds the spring 29 is formed on the front wall surface 41a of the recess 41. The holding portion 40 is biased forward by the spring 29.

As shown in Figure 16, the operating unit 34 extends in the left-right direction. The operating unit 34 includes an operating rod 42, a pushing portion 43, and a spring 44.

When viewed from the front, the operating rod 42 is formed in a generally L-shape. The operating rod 42 has a flat surface 42a. The operating rod 42 is placed in the second recess 33 (see Figure 15) of the case part 15. As shown in Figure 18, the flat surface 42a has a protrusion 42c that protrudes downward from the lower wall surface 42b. Figure 18 is a perspective view of the operating part 34 as viewed from the bottom left.

Two protrusions 42c are formed side by side in the left-right direction. The protrusions 42c are formed from the front left to the rear right. In other words, the front wall surface 42d of the protrusions 42c is formed so that it is positioned further rearward from left to right. The front wall surface 42d of the protrusions 42c abuts against the front wall surface 40a of the third protrusion 40 of the holding part 30 (see Figure 13).

A contact portion 42e is formed on the left side of the operating rod 42, which contacts one end of the spring 44 (see Figure 16). The other end of the spring 44 contacts the contact surface 46 (see Figure 15) of the case portion 15. The operating portion 34 is biased leftward by the spring 44.

The push-in portion 43 protrudes leftward from the left lower end of the operating rod 42. The push-in portion 43 has an operating button 43a and an inclined portion 43b, and is equipped with an abutment surface 43c that abuts against the operating rod. The push-in portion 43 is positioned in the third recess 35 (see Figure 17) of the mounting base 23.

When the push-in portion 43 of the operating unit 34 is pushed to the right via the operating button 43a and the protrusion 42c moves to the right, the protrusion 42c slides against the second protrusion 40 of the holding unit 30, moving the third protrusion 40 rearward. As a result, the lifting device 7 disengages the step portion 38 of the holding unit 30 from the upper wall 21b of the first engagement portion 21 of the fixing unit 8.

Next, we will explain the operation of the lifting device 7 according to this embodiment. In addition to the attached state, the lifting device 7 can also be in an unattached state in which the fixing part 8 is not attached to the toilet bowl 3.

In the lowered state, as shown in Figure 10, the holding portion 30 of the rotating portion 9 is inserted into the through-hole 21a of the first engagement portion 21 of the fixed portion 8, and the step portion 38 of the holding portion 30 engages with the upper wall 21b of the fixed portion 8. As a result, the rotating portion 9 is held in a predetermined lowered position by the fixed portion 8.

The first engagement portion 21 of the fixed portion 8 has two through holes 21a formed side by side in the left-right direction, with the upper wall surfaces 21a of the through holes 21a at different heights. Furthermore, the holding portion 30 of the rotating portion 9 has three step portions 38 formed on it. Therefore, the lifting device 7 can adjust the lowered position of the rotating portion 9 relative to the fixed portion 8 in three stages for each through hole 21a of the first engagement portion 21. In other words, the lifting device 7 can adjust the lowered position of the rotating portion 9 relative to the fixed portion 8 in six stages.

Therefore, even if there are variations in the top surface of the ceramic toilet bowl 3, the step portion 38 of the holding portion 30 of the rotating portion 9 can be engaged with the top wall 21b of the first engagement portion 21 of the fixed portion 8, and the rotating portion 9 can be held in the appropriate lowered position.

When the operation button 43a is pressed from the lowered position and the operating part 34 moves to the right, the second protrusion 40 of the holding part 30 slides against the protrusion 42c of the operating part 34, causing the holding part 30 to move rearward. This disengages the step 38 of the holding part 30 from the upper wall 21b of the first engaging part 21 of the fixed part 8. The torsional torque of the torsion spring 14 of the first link member 10 causes the rotating part 9 to rotate and rise. The rotating shaft 17 of the second link member moves forward along the guide part 18, reaching the terminal end 18a, thereby entering the raised state. (See Figure 7)

In the raised position, as shown in Figure 19, the step 38 of the retaining portion 30 is positioned above the upper surface 21d of the first engaging portion 21 of the fixed portion 8, and is kept disengaged from the upper wall 21b of the first engaging portion 21 of the fixed portion 8.

The holding part 30 is biased forward by a spring 29, and the protrusion 42c of the operating rod 42 abuts against the second protrusion 40 of the holding part 30, restricting forward movement.

If the user rotates the rotating part 9 further upward from the raised position, as shown in Figure 20, the support part 13 and the support post receiving part 20 are engaged, restricting the rotation of the rotating part 9. In other words, the support post receiving part 20 of the fixed part 8 functions as a stopper that restricts the upward movement of the rotating part 9.

Furthermore, when the user moves the rotating part 9 forward from the raised state, as shown in Figure 21, the rotating shaft 17 of the second link member 11 abuts against the terminal end 18a of the guide part 18, restricting the forward movement of the rotating part 9. In other words, the terminal end 18a of the guide part 18 of the second link member functions as a stopper that restricts the forward movement of the rotating part 9.

The guide length of the guide portion 18 of the second link member 11 is set to a stroke such that the angle between the support portion 14 of the first link member 10 and the fixed portion 8 is no more obtuse than 90° when raised. This allows the link member 10 to descend along a trajectory leading to the raised state.

Furthermore, the amount of lift can be changed by changing the length of the support portion 13 of the first link member 10. Similarly, the amount of forward movement can be changed by changing the length of the guide portion 18 of the second link member 11.

In the above embodiment, an example was described in which two holding portions 30, etc. of the attachment mechanism 19 are provided in the left and right directions, but this is not limited to this. For example, there may be one holding portion 30, etc., or three or more holding portions 30, etc.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the guide portion 18 of the second link member 11 is a guide that extends in the front-to-rear direction, but as with the first link member 10, it may also move in the front-to-rear direction using a support portion (not shown) that fits onto the pivot shaft 17 and a support receiving portion (not shown) that fits onto the support portion (not shown).

In addition, in the above embodiment, the first link member 10 is raised by the operating unit 34, but the first link member may also be equipped with an electric motor (not shown) and raised and lowered by a remote control unit (not shown).

In addition, while the above embodiment describes an example in which the raised state is achieved by rotating the rotating part 9, this is not limited to this. For example, the lifting device 7 may raise and lower the rotating part 11 without changing its position relative to the fixed part 8 (including up to 5°, taking into account variations in parts and clearances).

In addition, in the above embodiment, the elastic force of the torsion spring 14 is used to raise the link member, but the force exerted by the elastic force may be reduced by holding a reducer (providing a reduction means) on the first link member or the second link member.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the casing body 4 has one raised position, but this is not limiting. For example, the casing body 4 may be configured so that the user can select between a first state in which it is raised relative to the upper surface 3b of the toilet bowl 3, and a second state in which the front of the casing body 4 is positioned further forward than in the first state.

Further advantages and modifications may readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details and representative embodiments shown and described above. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
