Description

本発明は、放尿を誘導する標的指示機能を有するトイレ装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a toilet apparatus having a target indicating function for inducing urination.

従来、男子小用時に尿が飛散し、酸化・腐敗によって発生する悪臭を低減させる目的で、男子小用の標的を指示する装置がある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。トイレ室内への入室を検出し、便器の鉢内部の所定の位置に標的を指示することで、男子小用時の狙いが定まり、尿の飛散が低減させる効果がある。
特開平６−３３６７５４号公報 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is an apparatus that indicates a boy's small target for the purpose of reducing malodors caused by oxidation and rot due to urine scattering during boy's small use (see, for example, Patent Document 1). By detecting the entry into the toilet room and instructing the target at a predetermined position inside the bowl of the toilet bowl, the aim at the time of boys' small use is determined, and urine scattering is reduced.
JP-A-6-336754

しかしながら、従来の発明のように標的手段としてレーザー光を用いると、便座装置の清掃の場合などに誤って光が照射され、使用者が直接光を見てしまうと網膜に障害が残る可能性がある。また、実使用においても便器底面への照射像や水面からの反射像を直視し続けるのは、特に幼児にとってはよくない。一方、標的手段として例えばＬＥＤを用い便器底面への照射像を標的とすると、狙いやすい大きさの標的を得るためにレンズ等の光学部品を用い集光する必要があり、光学部品を組み合わせると部品点数も増え標的表示手段全体が大きくなってしまう。特に光源を設置する最適位置としては、照射像をさえぎるもののない位置として、便座装置本体の中央で便器内にもっとも近い位置がよく、人体洗浄用ノズルの設置位置と合致してしまうため、限られたスペースで洗浄機能以外の他の機能も本体内部に備えて装置本体のコンパクト化をする必要のある装置に搭載することが非常に困難となる。   However, if laser light is used as the target means as in the conventional invention, light may be accidentally irradiated when cleaning the toilet seat device, and if the user sees the light directly, there is a possibility that the retina remains damaged. is there. In actual use, it is not particularly good for infants to keep looking directly at the image of the toilet bottom and the reflected image from the water surface. On the other hand, for example, when using an LED as a target means and targeting an irradiation image on the bottom surface of a toilet, it is necessary to collect light using an optical component such as a lens in order to obtain a target with a size that is easy to aim. The number of points increases and the entire target display means becomes large. In particular, the optimum position for installing the light source is limited because it is the position where the irradiation image is unobstructed, and the position closest to the toilet in the center of the toilet seat body is good and matches the installation position of the human body washing nozzle. In addition, it is very difficult to install other functions other than the cleaning function in the main body in an apparatus in which the main body of the apparatus needs to be compacted.

また、どちらの光源共に便座装置への搭載の仕方によっては照射像に加え、水面にも反射像が写るため、標的が複数あるように見えて使用者が混乱し得る。
本発明は、上記問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、よりコンパクトで実用的な標的表示手段を有する便座装置を提供することを目的とする。 In addition, depending on how both light sources are mounted on the toilet seat device, a reflected image is reflected on the surface of the water in addition to the irradiation image, so that it appears that there are a plurality of targets, and the user may be confused.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a toilet seat device having a more compact and practical target display means.

本発明のトイレ装置は、上記課題を解決するために、洋式便器を設置したトイレ室に載置する便座装置本体と、前記便座装置本体の略中央部に設置された人体洗浄ノズルと、男子小用時の放尿標的を表示するための光源と、前記光源の光を拡散させて前記洋式便器内貯留水面に反射像を投影する標的表示手段と、を備え、前記標的表示手段は、前記光源を収納するケースを前記人体洗浄ノズルの突出方向と平行に設置し、前記光源の光を拡散する拡散手段を前記光源の発光方向とは異なる貯留水面に対向させる方向に構成し、男子小用時に前記反射像を打ち消すように放尿を誘導するものである。 In order to solve the above problems, the toilet apparatus of the present invention is a toilet seat apparatus main body placed in a toilet room in which a Western-style toilet is installed, a human body washing nozzle installed in a substantially central portion of the toilet seat apparatus main body, A light source for displaying a urination target at the time of use, and target display means for diffusing the light of the light source and projecting a reflected image on the water storage surface in the Western toilet, wherein the target display means The housing case is installed in parallel with the protruding direction of the human body washing nozzle, and the diffusing means for diffusing the light of the light source is configured to face the stored water surface different from the light emitting direction of the light source. Urination is induced so as to cancel the reflected image .

上記発明によれば、便器底面へは照射像を写さず水面にのみ反射像が写る構成なので、
使用者は迷うことなく標的を目標に排尿することができる。また、水面への反射像を放尿標的とするため、光を集光する必要がなく、万が一直接光を目視したとしても安全であり、省スペースで安価な標的表示手段を実現できる。 According to the above-described invention, since the reflected image is reflected only on the water surface without reflecting the irradiation image on the toilet bottom,
The user can urinate to the target without hesitation. Further, since the reflection image on the water surface is used as the urination target, it is not necessary to collect light, and even if the light is directly observed, it is safe, and a space-saving and inexpensive target display means can be realized.

本発明によれば、使用者の放尿位置をスムーズに誘導できて、確実に尿の飛び散りを防止することが可能なものである。また、使用者にとって安全な標的表示手段を省スペースかつ安価で提供することができる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to smoothly guide the user's urination position and reliably prevent urine from scattering. In addition, a target display means that is safe for the user can be provided in a space-saving and inexpensive manner.

請求項１に記載の発明は、洋式便器を設置したトイレ室に載置する便座装置本体と、前記便座装置本体の略中央部に設置された人体洗浄ノズルと、男子小用時の放尿標的を表示するための光源と、前記光源の光を拡散させて前記洋式便器内貯留水面に反射像を投影する標的表示手段と、を備え、前記標的表示手段は、前記光源を収納するケースを前記人体洗浄ノズルの突出方向と平行に設置し、前記光源の光を拡散する拡散手段を前記光源の発光方向とは異なる貯留水面に対向させる方向に構成し、男子小用時に前記反射像を打ち消すように放尿を誘導するトイレ装置であり、便器底面には照射像は写さず貯留水面にのみ反射像が写すため、使用者は迷うことなく標的を目標に排尿することができ、確実に尿の飛散を低減することが可能である。また貯留水面の反射像のみを用いるため光を集光する必要がなく、簡易な構成で標的表示手段を実現できる。さらに、人体洗浄ノズルのユニットと光源の設置位置を寄り添わせて、より省スペースに標的手段を便座装置本体内に構成することができる。このような省スペース構成を取ることで、一般的に便座装置略中央に構成される人体洗浄ノズルの下側のわずかなスペースに標的表示手段を設置できるため、標的の位置調整手段を必要とせず便座装置本体を前後に微調整するだけで、水面の高さや形状が異なる様々な便器に対しても貯留水面の略中央を指示することができ、安価で故障の少ない標的指示を有する構成を得られる。 According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a toilet seat device main body placed in a toilet room in which a Western-style toilet is installed, a human body washing nozzle installed in a substantially central portion of the toilet seat device main body, and a urination target for small boy use. comprising a light source for displaying, and a target display means for projecting the reflected image in the reservoir water surface the toilet and is diffused light of the light source, the target display means, the case for housing the light source body parallel to install the protruding direction of the cleaning nozzle, a diffuser means for diffusing the light of the light source constructed in such a direction as to face the different reservoir water level to the light emitting direction of the light source, so as to cancel out the reflected image at the time of male urination This is a toilet device that induces urination, and since the irradiation image does not appear on the bottom surface of the toilet and the reflected image appears only on the reservoir surface, the user can urinate to the target without hesitation, and the urine is reliably scattered. It is possible to reduce . Further, since only the reflected image of the reservoir surface is used, it is not necessary to collect light, and the target display means can be realized with a simple configuration. Furthermore, the target means can be configured in the toilet seat apparatus body in a more space-saving manner by bringing the unit of the human body washing nozzle and the installation position of the light source closer to each other. By adopting such a space-saving configuration, the target display means can be installed in a small space below the human body washing nozzle that is generally configured in the approximate center of the toilet seat device, so that there is no need for target position adjustment means. By just finely adjusting the toilet seat body back and forth, it is possible to indicate the approximate center of the stored water surface for various toilets with different water surface heights and shapes, and obtain a configuration with a target instruction that is inexpensive and has few failures. It is done.

請求項２に記載の発明は、特に第１の発明において、光源はＬＥＤとしたものである。これによって、発光方向を人体洗浄ノズルの突出方向つまりは進退方向にそろえて、スペースの無駄のないように設けることができ、例えば、発散角が十分であるＬＥＤを使用すると、ＬＥＤの発光方向を貯留水面に対向させる位置に設置せずとも拡散手段に光が照射され、散乱し貯留水面の反射像を標的として得ることができるので問題がない。さらに標的手段をこのように設置することで、製品下側の便器内側に対して比較的出っ張らずに構成できる。 The invention according to claim 2 is the LED according to the first invention, in particular, the light source . As a result, the light emission direction can be aligned with the protruding direction of the human body washing nozzle, that is, the forward and backward direction, so that there is no waste of space.For example, when an LED with a sufficient divergence angle is used, the light emission direction of the LED is changed. There is no problem because the diffusing means is irradiated with light without being installed at a position facing the water storage surface and scattered and a reflected image of the water storage surface can be obtained as a target. By further installing a targeting means in this way, Ru can be configured without a relatively Deppara against the toilet bowl inner product lower.

以下本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照にしながら説明する。なお、本実施の形態によって発明が限定されるものではない。
（実施の形態１）
図１に便座装置の側面図を、図２に正面図を、図３に側面図の一部拡大図を示す。便座装置は便座装置本体１に回動自在な便座２、便蓋３が設けられ、便器４に設置されている。便座装置本体１の略中央部に人体洗浄ノズル５を設置し、その収納位置の下近傍に便器４の鉢内部を指示する標的手段６を構成する。標的手段６は光源７をケース８で覆ったものであり、防水処理が施されている。ケース８には光源７からの光の一部を拡散させる拡散手段９が構成されている。便座装置本体１の内部にトイレ空間への便座の使用者の入室を検知する人体検知手段１０と、さらに便座２の回動位置を検知する回動検知手段７を内蔵する。また、人体検知手段１０と回動位置検知手段１１とから入力した信号に基づいて標的手段６を制御する制御部１２を内蔵する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.
(Embodiment 1)
1 is a side view of the toilet seat device, FIG. 2 is a front view, and FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of the side view. The toilet seat device includes a toilet seat 2 and a toilet lid 3 which are provided on a toilet seat device body 1 and is installed in a toilet 4. A human body washing nozzle 5 is installed at a substantially central portion of the toilet seat apparatus body 1, and a target means 6 for indicating the inside of the bowl of the toilet 4 is configured near the lower part of the storage position. The target means 6 has a light source 7 covered with a case 8 and is waterproofed. The case 8 includes a diffusing unit 9 that diffuses a part of the light from the light source 7. Inside the toilet seat apparatus main body 1, a human body detecting means 10 for detecting a user entering the toilet space into the toilet space and a rotation detecting means 7 for detecting the rotation position of the toilet seat 2 are incorporated. Moreover, the control part 12 which controls the target means 6 based on the signal input from the human body detection means 10 and the rotation position detection means 11 is incorporated.

以上の構成により、使用者がトイレ空間に入室すると人体検知手段１０が人体の入室または装置本体への近接を検知し、かつ回動位置検知手段１１により便座２が立位状態である信号を制御部１２が受信すると、光源７に通電され光が便器鉢内部に向けて照射される。その際、拡散手段９にて光は拡散し、便器内の水面上にのみ使用者から直視しやすいレベルまで柔らかくぼかされた光源７の反射像がＡの領域に映り、これを放尿を誘導する標的として小用を足す。使用者はこの反射像に放尿着水位置を誘導され、この反射像を打ち消すように放尿するので、確実に尿の飛散防止の効果がある。反射像である標的５は便鉢内の水面の略中央を指示するのが最も望ましいが、水面と便器ボール内面の境界域を避けなるべく中央に近い位置に尿が着水すればかなりの飛散防止効果が得られる。   With the above configuration, when the user enters the toilet space, the human body detection means 10 detects the entrance of the human body or the proximity of the apparatus body, and the rotation position detection means 11 controls the signal that the toilet seat 2 is in the standing position. When the unit 12 receives the light, the light source 7 is energized and light is emitted toward the inside of the toilet bowl. At that time, the light is diffused by the diffusing means 9, and a reflected image of the light source 7 softly blurred to a level that is easy to see directly from the user only on the water surface in the toilet bowl is reflected in the area A, which induces urination Add small usage as a target. Since the user is guided to the urination landing position in the reflected image and urinates so as to cancel the reflected image, there is an effect of surely preventing urine scattering. It is most desirable that the target 5 which is a reflected image indicates the approximate center of the water surface in the toilet bowl, but if the urine lands on a position as close to the center as possible to avoid the boundary area between the water surface and the inner surface of the toilet bowl, it will prevent considerable scattering. An effect is obtained.

光源７を仮にＬＥＤとした場合、指向性のある特殊な構成でない、通常の汎用タイプのもので拡散角がある程度あれば、拡散手段９が貯留水面に対向する位置に構成すれば光源であるＬＥＤ自体の発光方向を水面に対向する必要はない。よって、人体洗浄ノズル５の突出方向すなわち進退方向Ｂに合わせＬＥＤの発光方向Ｃをこれと平行に設けると、ノズルのユニットと光源の設置位置を寄り添わせて、より省スペースに標的手段６を便座装置本体内に構成することができる。このような省スペース構成を取ることで、一般的に便座装置略中央に構成される人体洗浄ノズル５の下側のわずかなスペースに標的手段６を設置できるため、標的の位置調整手段を必要とせず便座装置本体１を前後に微調整するだけで、水面の高さや形状が異なる様々な便器に対しても貯留水面の略中央を指示することができ、安価で故障の少ない標的指示を有する構成を得られる。   If the light source 7 is an LED, it is not a special configuration with directivity. If it is a general-purpose type and has a certain diffusion angle, an LED that is a light source if the diffusion means 9 is configured at a position facing the reservoir surface. It is not necessary for the light emission direction of itself to face the water surface. Therefore, when the LED light emission direction C is provided in parallel with the protruding direction of the human body washing nozzle 5, that is, the forward / backward direction B, the nozzle unit and the installation position of the light source are brought close to each other so It can comprise in a toilet seat apparatus main body. By adopting such a space-saving configuration, the target means 6 can be installed in a small space below the human body washing nozzle 5 that is generally configured in the approximate center of the toilet seat device, so that a target position adjusting means is required. By simply finely adjusting the toilet seat device body 1 back and forth, it is possible to indicate the approximate center of the stored water surface for various toilets with different water surface heights and shapes, and have a target instruction that is inexpensive and has few failures Can be obtained.

また、拡散手段９以外を通る光は便器鉢内部を全体的に照らし、夜間に使用者がトイレルームの照明をつけずに入った場合に照明の代わりとしての効果がある。その際、照度は
トイレルームの照明より落とされているので、寝起きでトイレルームに入った使用者が覚醒を促さない程度の照度となる。
拡散手段９としては、透明な樹脂（例えばアクリル）のケース８の内面もしくは外面にエッチングやサンドブラスト等の加工を行い、半透明にすることで得られる。これは金型に加工をしても良いし、成型品に後加工でもよい。内面に加工をする場合は、外面を鏡面のままにできるため、汚水等の汚れが付きづらく清掃なしで長期間明るい標的を得ることができる。一方外面に加工する場合は、後加工がしやすく、また処理の大きさを変えることで標的の大きさを調節できる。他にはケース８自体を半透明（例えばポリカ）樹脂や蛍光樹脂にすることで、加工することなくケース８全体が柔らかく光る標的手段６が実現できる。また、ケース８の形状を変えることで標的の形状も変わるので、さまざまな標的を実現できる。 Further, the light passing through other than the diffusing means 9 illuminates the inside of the toilet bowl as a whole, and has an effect as a substitute for lighting when the user enters the toilet room without lighting at night. At that time, since the illuminance is lower than the lighting of the toilet room, the illuminance is such that a user who enters the toilet room after waking up does not promote awakening.
The diffusing means 9 can be obtained by making the inner or outer surface of a transparent resin (for example, acrylic) case 8 semi-transparent by etching or sandblasting. This may be processed into a mold or post-processed into a molded product. When processing the inner surface, since the outer surface can be left as a mirror surface, it is difficult to get dirt such as dirty water, and a bright target can be obtained for a long time without cleaning. On the other hand, when processing to the outer surface, post-processing is easy, and the size of the target can be adjusted by changing the processing size. In addition, by making the case 8 itself translucent (for example, polycarbonate) resin or fluorescent resin, the target means 6 that the whole case 8 shines softly without processing can be realized. In addition, since the shape of the target is changed by changing the shape of the case 8, various targets can be realized.

また、拡散部材９をシート状とし、透明な樹脂ケース８内部に構成することも考えられる。シートの色や透過率を変えることで、光源７の種類を変えることなく簡単に標的の明るさや色を調整することができる。他には、標的を照射するために標的手段６を取り付けてある便座装置下部に設けられた孔に貼り付けることも考えられる。こうすることで、標的手段６と便座装置下部の孔との嵌合部の隙間が保護され、汚水や便、ティッシュ屑等がたまることがなく、簡単な拭き掃除のみで清潔に保つことができる。   It is also conceivable that the diffusing member 9 is formed into a sheet shape and configured inside the transparent resin case 8. By changing the color and transmittance of the sheet, the brightness and color of the target can be easily adjusted without changing the type of the light source 7. Alternatively, it can be considered that the target means 6 is attached to a hole provided in the lower part of the toilet seat device to irradiate the target. By doing so, the gap of the fitting part between the target means 6 and the hole at the lower part of the toilet seat device is protected, so that sewage, feces, tissue waste and the like are not collected and can be kept clean only by simple wiping.

また、便座回動手段（図示せず）が配設されているリモートコントローラ（図示せず）を用いることで、使用者は直接便座２に触れることなく便座２を立位状態にでき、かつ便座の回動が標的手段６の動作スイッチにもなっているため、衛生的かつ容易に標的を得ることができる。
なお、人体検知手段１０としては、便座装置本体１に内蔵した赤外線焦電センサやトイレ空間内に設置した光センサや床に設置した重量センサ等が考えられる。
また、回動位置検出手段７としては、機械的に便座２の位置を検出する手段の他に、電動開閉ユニットを用い便座２を回動させる場合に使用される便座開閉の制御信号の利用等が考えられる。
（実施の形態２）
図４は本発明の実施の形態２における便座装置の側面図の一部拡大図である。本実施の形態は、実施の形態１の発明と基本的な構成は同じで、異なるのは標的手段６の構成であり、ケース８により覆われた光源７に対向するように光ファイバー１３の一端を配置し、他端を便座装置略中央の便器内水面に対向するように配置する。光ファイバー１３の水面に対向した側を表面処理することで、光が柔らかくぼかされ、水面に直視しやすい標的を得ることができる。この場合、光源の位置は水面と対向する場所に設ける必要がなく、光ファイバー１３の光源側の他端部で貯留水面と対向すればよいので、光ファイバー１３はある程度自由に光路を引き回すことができ、光源７の設置位置の自由度が上がり、製品のデッドスペースをうまく活用することができる。 Further, by using a remote controller (not shown) provided with toilet seat rotating means (not shown), the user can place the toilet seat 2 in an upright position without touching the toilet seat 2 directly. Is also an operation switch of the target means 6, so that the target can be obtained hygienically and easily.
In addition, as the human body detection means 10, the infrared pyroelectric sensor built in the toilet seat apparatus main body 1, the optical sensor installed in the toilet space, the weight sensor installed in the floor, etc. can be considered.
In addition to the means for mechanically detecting the position of the toilet seat 2 as the rotation position detection means 7, use of a toilet seat opening / closing control signal used when the toilet seat 2 is rotated using an electric opening / closing unit, etc. Can be considered.
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged view of a side view of the toilet seat device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The basic configuration of the present embodiment is the same as that of the invention of the first embodiment, except for the configuration of the target means 6. One end of the optical fiber 13 is placed so as to face the light source 7 covered by the case 8. It arrange | positions and it arrange | positions so that the other end may oppose the toilet surface in the toilet seat apparatus center. By subjecting the surface of the optical fiber 13 facing the water surface to a surface, it is possible to obtain a target in which light is softly blurred and easily viewed directly on the water surface. In this case, the position of the light source does not need to be provided at a location facing the water surface, and it is only necessary to face the water storage surface at the other end of the optical fiber 13 on the light source side, so that the optical fiber 13 can route the optical path freely to some extent, The degree of freedom of the installation position of the light source 7 is increased, and the dead space of the product can be utilized well.

以上のように、本発明にかかるトイレ装置は、コンパクトな構成で男子小用標的が得られ、小便の周囲への飛散が低減され尿の酸化・腐敗等による悪臭の発生を低減させることができるので、温水洗浄便座に利用可能である。また、水面への着水位置を表示する標的照射構成として、この分野に限らず利用することが可能である。   As described above, the toilet device according to the present invention can obtain a boy's small target with a compact configuration, can reduce the scattering of urine around the urine, and can reduce the generation of bad odor due to urine oxidation / corruption, etc. So it can be used for warm water flush toilet seats. Further, the target irradiation configuration for displaying the landing position on the water surface is not limited to this field and can be used.
