Description

[Technical field]

[0001] SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE Aspects of the present invention relate generally to toilet systems. [Background technology]

[0002] It is known that toilet devices have toilet seats and toilet lids that are electrically opened and closed. In such toilet devices, a motor is provided inside a casing, and the toilet seat and toilet lid are electrically opened and closed by operating the motor (for example, Patent Document 1). The motor is, for example, wired and connected by a harness to a control unit that controls the operation of the motor inside the casing. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-204297 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In such toilet devices, gaps are provided at the connection between the hinges of the toilet seat or lid and the casing. Therefore, water that splashes on the casing may enter the inside of the casing through the gaps at the connection and splash on the motor. For example, if the motor is located inside the casing at a higher position than the control unit, water that splashes on the motor may travel down the harness and reach the control unit, which is located below the motor, causing the control unit to malfunction due to water damage.

[0005] One possible solution to this problem is to hook the middle part of the harness onto a hook or something similar and place it higher than the motor. However, this method runs the risk of the harness coming off the hook inside the casing, causing water that gets on the motor to run down the harness and reach the control unit.

[0006] The aspects of the present invention have been made based on the recognition of such problems, and have an object to provide a toilet apparatus that can prevent water that has splashed on the motor from reaching the control unit via the harness. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One aspect of the present invention is a toilet device installed on a toilet bowl, comprising a casing, a first opening and closing body that opens and closes by rotating relative to the casing, a first motor provided within the casing for electrically opening and closing the first opening and 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, wherein the first opening and closing body is one of a toilet lid and a toilet seat, the first harness has a first connector connected to the first motor and a second connector connected to the control unit, and the first connector is located lower than the second connector. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to an aspect of the present invention, a toilet apparatus is provided that can prevent water that has splashed on the motor from reaching the control unit via the harness. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing a toilet device according to an embodiment; [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a plan view that illustrates the inside of a casing of the toilet device according to the embodiment. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view that illustrates the inside of a casing of the toilet device according to the embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view that illustrates the inside of a casing of the toilet device according to the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, like components are designated by like reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted as appropriate. FIG. 1 is a perspective view that diagrammatically illustrates a toilet device according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, a toilet apparatus 100 according to the embodiment is installed above a toilet bowl 200.

[0011] The toilet 200 is a so-called seated toilet. The toilet 200 has a bowl portion 201 that is recessed downward. The toilet 200 receives excrement such as urine and feces from the user in the bowl portion 201.

[0012] The toilet device 100 comprises a casing 10, a toilet lid 20, and a toilet seat 30. In this specification, the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "right side," and "left side" refer to directions seen from a user sitting on the toilet seat 30 with their back to the open toilet lid 20.

[0013] The casing 10 is provided on the rear of the toilet bowl 200. The casing 10 has a case plate 11 located at the bottom, and a case cover 12 that covers the upper part of the case plate 11. The casing 10 has functional parts built in inside the space formed between the case plate 11 and the case cover 12. The functional parts include, for example, a toilet lid opening and closing unit 40, a toilet seat opening and closing unit 50, a control unit 60, a first harness 71, a second harness 72, a nozzle unit 81, a valve unit 82, a warm air drying unit 83, and a deodorizing unit 84, which will be described later.

[0014] The toilet lid 20 is pivotally supported by a toilet lid opening / closing unit 40 (see FIG. 2) provided inside the casing 10, thereby allowing it to rotate relative to the casing 10. The toilet seat 30 is pivotally supported by a toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 (see FIG. 2) provided inside the casing 10, thereby allowing it to rotate relative to the casing 10. When closed, the toilet lid 20 covers the top of the toilet seat 30. Figure 1 shows the toilet lid 20 in an open state, and the toilet seat 30 in a closed state.

[0015] The toilet lid 20 has a toilet lid body 21 and a hinge portion 22. When the toilet lid body 21 is closed, it is located above the toilet seat 30. When the toilet lid 20 is closed, the hinge portion 22 is located behind the toilet lid body 21.

[0016] The toilet seat 30 has a seating portion 31 and a hinge portion 32. When the toilet seat 30 is closed, the seating portion 31 is located above the bowl portion 201 of the toilet bowl 200. The seating portion 31 is the portion on which a user sits. When the toilet seat 30 is closed, the hinge portion 32 is located behind the seating portion 31.

[0017] In this way, the toilet apparatus 100 has two opening and closing bodies (a first opening and closing body and a second opening and closing body) that open and close by rotating relative 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. In other words, 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. Below, an example will be described in which the first opening and closing body is the toilet lid 20 and the second opening and closing body is the toilet seat 30.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a plan view that illustrates the inside of a casing of the toilet device according to the embodiment. FIG. 2 shows the casing 10 with the case cover 12 removed. As shown in FIG. 2, inside the casing 10, there are provided a toilet lid opening / closing unit 40, a toilet seat opening / closing unit 50, a control unit 60, a first harness 71, a second harness 72, a nozzle unit 81, a valve unit 82, a hot air drying unit 83, and a deodorizing unit 84.

[0019] The toilet lid opening / closing unit 40 supports the toilet lid 20 and electrically opens and closes the toilet lid 20. The toilet lid opening / closing unit 40 has a toilet lid motor 41 and a toilet lid transmission mechanism 42. The toilet lid motor 41 provides driving force for opening and closing the toilet lid 20. The toilet lid motor 41 is a first motor for electrically opening and closing the toilet lid 20, which is the first opening / closing body. The toilet lid transmission mechanism 42 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 toilet lid transmission mechanism 42 has, for example, a reduction mechanism. In this example, the toilet lid opening / closing unit 40 is provided on the left side of the casing 10 (i.e., to the left of the center CL1 of the casing 10 in the left-right direction).

[0020] The toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 supports the toilet seat 30 and electrically opens and closes the toilet seat 30. The toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 has a toilet seat motor 51 and a toilet seat transmission mechanism 52. 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 toilet seat transmission mechanism 52 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 toilet seat transmission mechanism 52 has, for example, a reduction mechanism. In this example, the toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 is provided on the left side of the casing 10, in front of the toilet lid opening / closing unit 40.

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

[0022] The control unit 60 controls the operation 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 (i.e., to the right of the center CL1 of the casing 10 in the left-right direction).

[0023] The control unit 60 has a first portion 61, a second portion 62, and a housing 63 (see FIG. 3). The first portion 61 is located at the upper portion of the control unit 60 (i.e., above the center CL2 of the control unit 60 in the vertical direction). The second portion 62 is located at the lower portion of the control unit 60 (i.e., below the center CL2 of the control unit 60 in the vertical direction). The first portion 61 and the second portion 62 are housed in the housing 63. The first portion 61 has, for example, a substrate 61a and a connection portion 61b. The connection portion 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 supply 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 located 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 the human private parts to clean the human private parts. 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 cleans the human private parts by discharging water from the nozzle while the nozzle is advanced into the bowl portion 201 of the toilet 200. The nozzle unit 81 may further have a nozzle cleaning chamber for cleaning the nozzle. In this example, the nozzle unit 81 is provided between the control unit 60 and the toilet lid opening and closing unit 40, and between the control unit 60 and the toilet seat opening and closing unit 50 in the left-right direction.

[0029] The valve unit 82 supplies water supplied from a water supply source outside the casing 10 via 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. For example, a heat exchanger unit, an electrolytic cell unit, a vacuum breaker, and the like are provided between the valve unit 82 and the nozzle unit 81. In this example, the valve unit 82 is provided in front of the control unit 60.

[0030] The hot air drying unit 83 blows hot air toward the inside of the bowl portion 201 of the toilet 200 to dry the private parts of the human body. The hot air drying unit 83 has, for example, a heater for heating the air and a fan for blowing air. In this example, the hot air drying unit 83 is provided 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 in the left-right direction.

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

[0032] The control unit 60 controls the operation of the toilet lid opening / closing unit 40 (toilet lid motor 41) and the toilet seat opening / closing unit 50 (toilet seat motor 51), as well as the operation of, for example, the nozzle unit 81, the valve unit 82, the hot air drying unit 83, and the deodorizing unit 84.

[0033] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view that typically illustrates the inside of a casing of the toilet device according to the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A1-A2 shown in FIG. 3, when the first harness 71 electrically connects the toilet lid motor 41 (first motor) and the control unit 60 (connection unit 61b), the first connector 71a of the first harness 71 is located lower than 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 lower than the second connector 71b connected to the control unit 60.

[0034] More specifically, for example, the bottom end of the first connector 71a is located lower than the top end of the second connector 71b. For example, the boundary between the first connector 71a and the first cable 71c is located lower than the boundary between the second connector 71b and the first cable 71c.

[0035] By positioning the first connector 71a lower than 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) to the second connector 71b side (i.e., the control unit 60 side). This makes it possible to prevent water from flowing from the first connector 71a side to the second connector 71b side. Therefore, for example, even if the first harness 71 (first cable 71c) is not fixed by a hook portion or the like, it is possible to prevent water that has splashed on the toilet lid motor 41 from traveling along the first harness 71 (first cable 71c) to reach the control unit 60.

[0036] The first connector 71a is connected to the lower part of the toilet lid motor 41 (i.e., below the center CL3 in the vertical direction of the toilet lid motor 41). In other words, the upper end of the first connector 71a is located below the center CL3 in the vertical direction of the toilet lid motor 41. In addition, 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. This more reliably prevents water that splashes on the toilet lid motor 41 from reaching the control unit 60 through the first harness 71 (first cable 71c). In addition, since the position of the first connector 71a can be lowered without disposing the toilet lid motor 41 at the lowest part inside the casing 10, components such as the deodorizing unit 84 can be disposed below the toilet lid motor 41, and the toilet apparatus 100 can be made smaller in size.

[0038] In addition, 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. This more reliably prevents water that splashes on the toilet lid motor 41 from reaching the control unit 60 through the first harness 71 (first cable 71c).

[0039] The second connector 71b is connected to the upper part of the control unit 60 (i.e., above the center CL2 of the control unit 60 in the up-down direction). That is, the lower end of the second connector 71b is located above the center CL2 of the control unit 60 in the up-down direction. More specifically, the second connector 71b is connected to the connection portion 61b of the first part 61 of the control unit 60. The connection portion 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 portion 61b) from above.

[0040] By connecting the second connector 71b to the top of the control unit 60, the second connector 71b can be connected to the control unit 60 at a higher position. This more reliably prevents water that has splashed on the toilet lid motor 41 from reaching the control unit 60 through the first harness 71 (first cable 71c). In addition, by raising the position of the second connector 71b, the position of the first connector 71a can be lower than the second connector 71b even if the toilet lid motor 41 is not placed at the lowest part inside the casing 10, so that components such as the deodorizing unit 84 can be placed below the toilet lid motor 41, and the toilet apparatus 100 can be made smaller in size.

[0041] Furthermore, 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. This more reliably prevents water that has splashed on the toilet lid motor 41 from reaching the control unit 60 via the first harness 71 (first cable 71c).

[0042] 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic view of the inside of a casing of the toilet device according to the embodiment, taken along line B1-B2 shown in FIG. 4, in a state in which 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 positioned lower than the fourth connector 72b of the second harness 72. In other words, the third connector 72a connected to the toilet seat motor 51 is positioned lower than the fourth connector 72b connected to the control unit 60.

[0043] More specifically, for example, the bottom end of the third connector 72a is located lower than the top end of the fourth connector 72b. For example, the boundary between the third connector 72a and the second cable 72c is located lower than the boundary between the fourth connector 72b and the second cable 72c.

[0044] By positioning the third connector 72a lower than 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) to the fourth connector 72b side (i.e., the control unit 60 side). This makes it possible to prevent water from flowing 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 prevent water that has splashed on the toilet seat motor 51 from traveling down the second harness 72 (second cable 72c) to reach the control unit 60.

[0045] The third connector 72a is connected to a lower part of the toilet seat motor 51 (i.e., below the center CL4 in the vertical direction of the toilet seat motor 51). In other words, the upper end of the third connector 72a is located below the center CL4 in the vertical direction of the toilet seat motor 51. In addition, 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. This more reliably prevents water that splashes on the toilet seat motor 51 from reaching the control unit 60 via the second harness 72 (second cable 72c). Also, because the position of the third connector 72a can be lowered even if the toilet seat motor 51 is not disposed at the lowest part inside the casing 10, components such as the deodorizing unit 84 can be disposed below the toilet seat motor 51, and the toilet apparatus 100 can be made smaller in size.

[0047] Furthermore, 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. This more reliably prevents water that has splashed 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 (i.e., above the center CL2 of the control unit 60 in the up-down direction). That is, the lower end of the fourth connector 72b is located above the center CL2 of the control unit 60 in the up-down direction. More specifically, the fourth connector 72b is connected to the connection portion 61b of the first part 61 of the control unit 60. The connection portion 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 portion 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. This more reliably prevents water that has splashed on the toilet seat motor 51 from reaching the control unit 60 through the second harness 72 (second cable 72c). In addition, by raising the position of the fourth connector 72b, the position of the third connector 72a can be lower than the fourth connector 72b even if the toilet seat motor 51 is not disposed at the lowest part inside the casing 10, so that components such as the deodorizing unit 84 can be disposed below the toilet seat motor 51, thereby making the toilet apparatus 100 more compact.

[0050] Furthermore, 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. This makes it possible to more reliably prevent water that has splashed on the toilet seat motor 51 from reaching the control unit 60 via the second harness 72 (second cable 72c).

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

[0052] As a toilet apparatus based on the embodiment described above, for example, the following aspects are conceivable.

[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 relative 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, wherein the first opening / closing body is one of a toilet lid and a toilet seat, the first harness has a first connector connected to the first motor and a second connector connected to the control unit, and the first connector is located lower than the second connector.

[0054] According to the first aspect, in the first harness electrically connecting the first motor and the control unit, the first connector connected to the first motor is located lower than the second connector connected to the control unit, thereby preventing water from flowing from the first connector side to the second connector side. This makes it possible to prevent water that splashes on the first motor from flowing down the first harness to the control unit, for example, even if the first harness is not fixed by a hook portion or the like.

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

[0056] According to the second aspect, the first connector is connected to the lower part of the first motor, so that the first connector can be connected to the first motor at a lower position. This more reliably prevents water that splashes on 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 disposing the first motor at the lowest part inside the casing, components such as a deodorizing unit can be disposed below the first motor, and the toilet apparatus can be made smaller in size.

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

[0058] According to the third aspect, the first connector is connected to the first motor from below, so that the first connector can be connected to the first motor at a lower position, which more reliably prevents water that has splashed on the first motor from traveling down the first harness to the control unit.

[0059] A fourth aspect is the toilet device according to any one of the first to third aspects, characterized in that the second connector is connected to an upper portion of the control unit.

[0060] According to the fourth aspect, the second connector is connected to the upper part of the control unit, so that the second connector can be connected to the control unit at a higher position. This makes it possible to more reliably prevent water that has splashed on the first motor from reaching the control unit via the first harness. In addition, by raising the position of the second connector, the position of the first connector can be lower than the second connector without disposing the first motor at the lowest part inside the casing, so that components such as a deodorizing unit can be disposed below the first motor, thereby making it possible to miniaturize the toilet apparatus.

[0061] A fifth aspect is the 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, the second connector is connected to the control unit from above, so that the second connector can be connected to the control unit at a higher position, which more reliably prevents water that has splashed on the first motor from traveling down the first harness to the control unit.

[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 relative to the casing, a second motor provided within the casing for electrically opening and closing the second opening / closing body, and a second harness electrically connecting the second motor and the control unit, wherein the second opening / closing body is the other 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 lower than the fourth connector.

[0064] According to the sixth aspect, in the second harness electrically connecting the second motor and the control unit, the third connector connected to the second motor is positioned lower than the fourth connector connected to the control unit, thereby preventing water from flowing from the third connector side to the fourth connector side. This makes it possible to prevent water splashing on the second motor from running down the second harness to reach the control unit, for example, even if the second harness is not fixed by a hook portion or the like. In other words, in the harness between the motor for electrically opening and closing the toilet lid and the control unit, and in the harness between the motor for electrically opening and closing the toilet seat and the control unit, water splashing on the motor can be prevented from running down the harness to reach the control unit.

[0065] As described above, according to the embodiment, a toilet apparatus can be provided that can prevent water that has splashed on the motor from reaching the control unit via the harness.
