Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In such a toilet device, a gap is provided in the connection portion between the hinge portion of the toilet seat and the toilet lid and the casing. Therefore, water applied to the casing may enter the inside of the casing through the gap in the connection portion and reach the motor. For example, if the motor is arranged at a position higher than the control unit inside the casing, the water applied to the motor may reach the control unit arranged below the motor through the harness, and the control unit may malfunction due to water ingress.

[0005] As a means for solving this problem, for example, a method of hooking an intermediate portion of the harness on a hook or the like and arranging it at a position higher than the motor can be considered. However, in this method, the harness may come off the hook inside the casing, and there is a risk that the water applied to the motor may reach the control unit through the harness.

[0006] Aspects of the present invention have been made based on the recognition of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a toilet device capable of suppressing water applied to a motor from reaching a control unit through a harness.

The toilet seat 30 is pivotally supported by a toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 (see FIG. 2) provided inside the casing 10, and is provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the casing 10. The toilet lid 20 covers the upper part of the toilet seat 30 in the closed state. In FIG. 1, the state where the toilet lid 20 is open and the toilet seat 30 is closed is shown.

[0015] The toilet lid 20 has a toilet lid main body 21 and a hinge portion 22. The toilet lid main body 21 is positioned above the toilet seat 30 in the closed state. The hinge portion 22 is positioned behind the toilet lid main body 21 in the closed state of the toilet lid 20.

[0016] The toilet seat 30 has a seating portion 31 and a hinge portion 32. The seating portion 31 is positioned above the bowl portion 201 of the toilet bowl 200 in the closed state. The seating portion 31 is the portion where the user sits. The hinge portion 32 is positioned behind the seating portion 31 in the closed state of the toilet seat 30.

[0017] In this way, the toilet device 100 has two opening and closing bodies (the first opening and closing body and the second opening and closing body) that open and close by rotating with respect to the casing 10. The first opening and closing body is one of the toilet lid 20 and the toilet seat 30, and the second opening and closing body is the other of the toilet lid 20 and the toilet seat 30. That is, when the first opening and closing body is the toilet lid 20, the second opening and closing body is the toilet seat 30. Also, when the first opening and closing body is the toilet seat 30, the second opening and closing body is the toilet lid 20. Hereinafter, the case where the first opening and closing body is the toilet lid 20 and the second opening and closing body is the toilet seat 30 will be taken as an example for explanation.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a plan view schematically showing the inside of the casing of the toilet device according to the embodiment.

The toilet lid motor 41 is a first motor for electrically opening and closing the toilet lid 20 which is a first opening / closing body. The transmission mechanism 42 for the toilet lid is connected to the toilet lid motor 41 and the hinge portion 22 of the toilet lid 20, and transmits the driving force of the toilet lid motor 41 to the hinge portion 22 of the toilet lid 20. The transmission mechanism 42 for the toilet lid has, for example, a speed reduction mechanism. In this example, the toilet lid opening / closing unit 40 is provided on the left side of the casing 10 (that is, on the left side of the center CL1 in the left-right direction of the casing 10).

[0020] The toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 pivotally supports the toilet seat 30 and opens and closes the toilet seat 30 electrically. The toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 includes a toilet seat motor 51 and a transmission mechanism 52 for the toilet seat. The toilet seat motor 51 applies a driving force for opening and closing the toilet seat 30. The toilet seat motor 51 is a second motor for electrically opening and closing the toilet seat 30 which is a second opening / closing body. The transmission mechanism 52 for the toilet seat is connected to the toilet seat motor 51 and the hinge portion 32 of the toilet seat 30, and transmits the driving force of the toilet seat motor 51 to the hinge portion 32 of the toilet seat 30. The transmission mechanism 52 for the toilet seat has, for example, a speed reduction mechanism. In this example, the toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 is provided in front of the toilet lid opening / closing unit 40 on the left side of the casing 10.

[0021] In addition, in FIG. 2, for convenience of explanation, the toilet lid opening / closing unit 40 and the toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 are arranged on the case plate 11, but the toilet lid opening / closing unit 40 and the toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 are respectively fixed to the case cover 12.

[0022] The control unit 60 controls the operations of the toilet lid motor 41 (first motor) and the toilet seat motor 51 (second motor). In this example, the control unit 60 is provided on the right side of the casing 10 (that is, on the right side of the center CL1 in the left-right direction of the casing 10).

[0023] The control unit 60 has a first part 61, a second part 62, and a housing 63 (see FIG. 3). The first part 61 is located above the upper part of the control unit 60 (i.e., above the vertical center CL2 of the control unit 60). The second part 62 is located below the lower part of the control unit 60 (i.e., below the vertical center CL2 of the control unit 60). The first part 61 and the second part 62 are housed in the housing 63. The first part 61 has, for example, a substrate 61a and a connection part 61b. The connection part 61b is provided on the substrate 61a.

[0024] The first harness 71 electrically connects the toilet lid motor 41 (first motor) and the control unit 60. The first harness 71 includes, for example, at least one of a power line for supplying power from the control unit 60 to the toilet lid motor 41 and a signal line for transmitting an electrical signal from the control unit 60 to the toilet lid motor 41.

[0025] The first harness 71 has a first connector 71a, a second connector 71b, and a first cable 71c. The first connector 71a is connected to the toilet lid motor 41 (first motor). The second connector 71b is connected to the control unit 60. The first cable 71c is located between the first connector 71a and the second connector 71b. The first connector 71a is located, for example, at one end of the first cable 71c. The second connector 71b is located, for example, at the other end of the first cable 71c.

[0026] The second harness 72 electrically connects the toilet seat motor 51 (second motor) and the control unit 60. The second harness 72 includes, for example, at least one of a power line for supplying power from the control unit 60 to the toilet seat motor 51 and a signal line for transmitting an electrical signal from the control unit 60 to the toilet seat motor 51.

[0027] The second harness 72 has a third connector 72a, a fourth connector 72b, and a second cable 72c. The third connector 72a is connected to the toilet seat motor 51 (second motor). The fourth connector 72b is connected to the control unit 60. The second cable 72c is positioned between the third connector 72a and the fourth connector 72b. The third connector 72a is located, for example, at one end of the second cable 72c. The fourth connector 72b is located, for example, at the other end of the second cable 72c.

[0028] The nozzle unit 81 discharges water toward a local part of the human body to wash the local part of the human body. The nozzle unit 81 has, for example, a nozzle that discharges water and a nozzle motor that moves the nozzle forward and backward. The nozzle unit 81 washes the local part of the human body by discharging water from the nozzle with the nozzle advanced into the bowl portion 201 of the toilet 200. The nozzle unit 81 may further have a nozzle cleaning chamber or the like for cleaning the nozzle. In this example, the nozzle unit 81 is provided in the left - right direction between the control unit 60 and the toilet lid opening - closing unit 40 and between the control unit 60 and the toilet seat opening - closing unit 50.

[0029] The valve unit 82 supplies the water supplied from a water supply source outside the casing 10 through a water supply hose or the like to the nozzle unit 81. The valve unit 82 has, for example, a solenoid valve that controls the supply of water to the nozzle unit 81, a pressure - regulating valve that adjusts the pressure, and a check valve that prevents backflow. Between the valve unit 82 and the nozzle unit 81, for example, a heat exchanger unit, an electrolytic cell unit, a vacuum breaker, etc. are provided. In this example, the valve unit 82 is provided in front of the control unit 60.

[0030] The warm air drying unit 83 blows warm air into the bowl portion 201 of the toilet 200 to dry the local part of the human body. The warm air drying unit 83 has, for example, a heater that warms the air and a fan for blowing. In this example, the warm air drying unit 83 is provided in the left - right direction between the nozzle unit 81 and the toilet lid opening - closing unit 40 and between the nozzle unit 81 and the toilet seat opening - closing unit 50.

[0031] The deodorizing unit 84 sucks in and deodorizes the air inside the bowl portion 201 of the toilet 200. The deodorizing unit 84 has, for example, a deodorizing portion that reduces odors and a blower fan. In this example, the deodorizing unit 84 is provided below the toilet lid opening / closing unit 40 and below the toilet seat opening / closing unit 50.

[0032] In addition to controlling the operations of the toilet lid opening / closing unit 40 (toilet lid motor 41) and the toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 (toilet seat motor 51), the control unit 60 controls the operations of, for example, the nozzle unit 81, the valve unit 82, the warm air drying unit 83, and the deodorizing unit 84.

[0033] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the inside of the casing of the toilet device according to the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A1 - A2 shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 3, in a state where the first harness 71 electrically connects the toilet lid motor 41 (first motor) and the control unit 60 (connection portion 61b), the first connector 71a of the first harness 71 is located below the second connector 71b of the first harness 71. In other words, the first connector 71a connected to the toilet lid motor 41 is located below the second connector 71b connected to the control unit 60.

[0034] More specifically, the lower end of the first connector 71a is located, for example, below the upper end of the second connector 71b. The boundary between the first connector 71a and the first cable 71c is located, for example, below the boundary between the second connector 71b and the first cable 71c.

[0035] Since the first connector 71a is positioned below the second connector 71b, for example, the first cable 71c can be continuously inclined upward from the first connector 71a side (i.e., the toilet lid motor 41 side) toward the second connector 71b side (i.e., the control unit 60 side). Thereby, it is possible to suppress water from being transmitted from the first connector 71a side to the second connector 71b side. Therefore, for example, even if the first harness 71 (the first cable 71c) is not fixed by a hook portion or the like, it is possible to suppress water on the toilet lid motor 41 from reaching the control unit 60 through the first harness 71 (the first cable 71c).

[0036] The first connector 71a is connected to the lower part of the toilet lid motor 41 (i.e., below the vertical center CL3 of the toilet lid motor 41). That is, the upper end of the first connector 71a is located below the vertical center CL3 of the toilet lid motor 41. Also, the first connector 71a is connected to the toilet lid motor 41 from below.

[0037] By connecting the first connector 71a to the lower part of the toilet lid motor 41, the first connector 71a can be connected to the toilet lid motor 41 at a lower position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water on the toilet lid motor 41 from reaching the control unit 60 through the first harness 71 (the first cable 71c). Also, since the position of the first connector 71a can be lowered without arranging the toilet lid motor 41 at the lowermost part within the casing 10, components such as the deodorizing unit 84 can be arranged below the toilet lid motor 41, and the toilet device 100 can be miniaturized.

[0038] Also, by connecting the first connector 71a to the toilet lid motor 41 from below, the first connector 71a can be connected to the toilet lid motor 41 at a lower position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water on the toilet lid motor 41 from reaching the control unit 60 through the first harness 71 (the first cable 71c).

[0039] The second connector 71b is connected to the upper part of the control unit 60 (i.e., above the vertical center CL2 of the control unit 60). That is, the lower end of the second connector 71b is located above the vertical center CL2 of the control unit 60. More specifically, the second connector 71b is connected to the connection part 61b of the first part 61 of the control unit 60. The connection part 61b constitutes, for example, the upper surface of the control unit 60. That is, the second connector 71b is connected to, for example, the upper surface of the control unit 60. Also, the second connector 71b is connected to the control unit 60 (connection part 61b) from above.

[0040] By connecting the second connector 71b to the upper part of the control unit 60, the second connector 71b can be connected to the control unit 60 at a higher position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water on the toilet lid motor 41 from reaching the control unit 60 through the first harness 71 (first cable 71c). Also, by raising the position of the second connector 71b, the position of the first connector 71a can be made lower than that of the second connector 71b without arranging the toilet lid motor 41 at the lowermost part within the casing 10. Therefore, components such as the deodorizing unit 84 can be arranged below the toilet lid motor 41, and the toilet device 100 can be miniaturized.

[0041] Also, by connecting the second connector 71b to the control unit 60 from above, the second connector 71b can be connected to the control unit 60 at a higher position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water on the toilet lid motor 41 from reaching the control unit 60 through the first harness 71 (first cable 71c).

[0042] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the inside of the casing of the toilet device according to the embodiment. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B1 - B2 shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 4, in a state where the second harness 72 electrically connects the toilet seat motor 51 (second motor) and the control unit 60 (connection unit 61b), the third connector 72a of the second harness 72 is located below the fourth connector 72b of the second harness 72. In other words, the third connector 72a connected to the toilet seat motor 51 is located below the fourth connector 72b connected to the control unit 60.

[0043] More specifically, the lower end of the third connector 72a is located, for example, below the upper end of the fourth connector 72b. The boundary between the third connector 72a and the second cable 72c is located, for example, below the boundary between the fourth connector 72b and the second cable 72c.

[0044] Since the third connector 72a is located below the fourth connector 72b, for example, the second cable 72c can be continuously inclined upward from the third connector 72a side (i.e., the toilet seat motor 51 side) toward the fourth connector 72b side (i.e., the control unit 60 side). Thereby, it is possible to suppress water from being transmitted from the third connector 72a side to the fourth connector 72b side. Therefore, for example, even if the second harness 72 (second cable 72c) is not fixed by a hook portion or the like, it is possible to suppress water applied to the toilet seat motor 51 from reaching the control unit 60 through the second harness 72 (second cable 72c).

[0045] The third connector 72a is connected to the lower part of the toilet seat motor 51 (i.e., below the vertical center CL4 of the toilet seat motor 51). That is, the upper end of the third connector 72a is located below the vertical center CL4 of the toilet seat motor 51. Further, the third connector 72a is connected to the toilet seat motor 51 from below.

[0046] By connecting the third connector 72a to the lower part of the toilet seat motor 51, the third connector 72a can be connected to the toilet seat motor 51 at a lower position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water splashing on the toilet seat motor 51 from reaching the control unit 60 through the second harness 72 (second cable 72c). Also, since the position of the third connector 72a can be lowered without arranging the toilet seat motor 51 at the lowermost part within the casing 10, components such as the deodorizing unit 84 can be arranged below the toilet seat motor 51, and the toilet device 100 can be miniaturized.

[0047] Also, by connecting the third connector 72a to the toilet seat motor 51 from below, the third connector 72a can be connected to the toilet seat motor 51 at a lower position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water splashing on the toilet seat motor 51 from reaching the control unit 60 through the second harness 72 (second cable 72c).

[0048] The fourth connector 72b is connected to the upper part of the control unit 60 (that is, above the vertical center CL2 of the control unit 60). That is, the lower end of the fourth connector 72b is located above the vertical center CL2 of the control unit 60. More specifically, the fourth connector 72b is connected to the connection part 61b of the first part 61 of the control unit 60. The connection part 61b constitutes, for example, the upper surface of the control unit 60. That is, the fourth connector 72b is connected to, for example, the upper surface of the control unit 60. Also, the fourth connector 72b is connected to the control unit 60 (connection part 61b) from above.

[0049] By connecting the fourth connector 72b to the upper part of the control unit 60, the fourth connector 72b can be connected to the control unit 60 at a higher position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water applied to the toilet seat motor 51 from reaching the control unit 60 through the second harness 72 (second cable 72c). Further, by raising the position of the fourth connector 72b, the position of the third connector 72a can be made lower than that of the fourth connector 72b without arranging the toilet seat motor 51 at the lowermost part within the casing 10. Therefore, components such as the deodorizing unit 84 can be arranged below the toilet seat motor 51, and the toilet device 100 can be downsized.

[0050] Also, by connecting the fourth connector 72b to the control unit 60 from above, the fourth connector 72b can be connected to the control unit 60 at a higher position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water applied to the toilet seat motor 51 from reaching the control unit 60 through the second harness 72 (second cable 72c).

[0051] In FIGS. 2 to 4, the case where the first opening / closing body is the toilet lid 20 and the second opening / closing body is the toilet seat 30 has been described as an example. In the embodiment, the first opening / closing body may be the toilet seat 30 and the second opening / closing body may be the toilet lid 20.

[0052] As a toilet device based on the embodiment described above, for example, the following aspects can be considered.

[0053] The first aspect is a toilet device installed on a toilet bowl, comprising a casing, a first opening / closing body that opens and closes by rotating with respect to the casing, a first motor provided within the casing for electrically opening and closing the first opening / closing body, a control unit that controls the operation of the first motor, and a first harness that electrically connects the first motor and the control unit. The first opening / closing body is one of a toilet lid and a toilet seat, and the first harness has a first connector connected to the first motor and a second connector connected to the control unit. The toilet device is characterized in that the first connector is located below the second connector.

[0054] According to the first aspect, in the first harness that electrically connects the first motor and the control unit, the first connector connected to the first motor is located below the second connector connected to the control unit, thereby suppressing the transmission of water from the first connector side to the second connector side. As a result, for example, even if the first harness is not fixed by a hook portion or the like, it is possible to suppress water applied to the first motor from reaching the control unit through the first harness.

[0055] A second aspect is a toilet device according to the first aspect, wherein the first connector is connected to a lower part of the first motor.

[0056] According to the second aspect, since the first connector is connected to the lower part of the first motor, the first connector can be connected to the first motor at a lower position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water applied to the first motor from reaching the control unit through the first harness. In addition, since the position of the first connector can be lowered without arranging the first motor at the lowermost part in the casing, components such as a deodorizing unit can be arranged below the first motor, and the toilet device can be miniaturized.

[0057] A third aspect is a toilet device according to the first or second aspect, wherein the first connector is connected to the first motor from below.

[0058] According to the third aspect, since the first connector is connected to the first motor from below, the first connector can be connected to the first motor at a lower position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water applied to the first motor from reaching the control unit through the first harness.

[0059] A fourth aspect is a toilet device according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the second connector is connected to an upper part of the control unit.

[0060] According to the fourth aspect, by connecting the second connector to the upper part of the control unit, the second connector can be connected to the control unit at a higher position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water applied to the first motor from reaching the control unit through the first harness. Further, by raising the position of the second connector, the position of the first connector can be made lower than that of the second connector without arranging the first motor at the lowermost part within the casing. Therefore, components such as a deodorizing unit can be arranged below the first motor, and the toilet device can be miniaturized.

[0061] A fifth aspect is a toilet device according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, characterized in that the second connector is connected to the control unit from above.

[0062] According to the fifth aspect, by connecting the second connector to the control unit from above, the second connector can be connected to the control unit at a higher position. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress water applied to the first motor from reaching the control unit through the first harness.

[0063] A sixth aspect is a toilet device according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, further comprising a second opening / closing body that opens and closes by rotating with respect to the casing, a second motor provided within the casing for electrically opening and closing the second opening / closing body, and a second harness that electrically connects the second motor and the control unit. The second opening / closing body is the other one of the toilet lid and the toilet seat. The control unit controls the operation of the second motor. The second harness has a third connector connected to the second motor and a fourth connector connected to the control unit, and the third connector is located below the fourth connector.

[0064] According to the sixth aspect, in the second harness that electrically connects the second motor and the control unit, the third connector connected to the second motor is positioned below the fourth connector connected to the control unit, thereby suppressing the transmission of water from the third connector side to the fourth connector side. As a result, for example, even if the second harness is not fixed by a hook portion or the like, it is possible to suppress water that has reached the second motor from traveling through the second harness and reaching the control unit. That is, in the harness between the motor for electrically opening and closing the toilet lid and the control unit, and also in the harness between the motor for electrically opening and closing the toilet seat and the control unit, it is possible to suppress water that has reached the motor from traveling through the harness and reaching the control unit.

[0065] As described above, according to the embodiment, it is possible to provide a toilet device that can suppress water that has reached the motor from traveling through the harness and reaching the control unit.
