[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-113460 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In recent years, there has been a demand for smaller and more multifunctional toilet devices. In order to reduce the size of the casing while accommodating various functional parts inside, it is necessary to place the ground wire inside the casing in an appropriate location and effectively utilize the space inside the casing.
[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 device that allows the earth wire inside the casing to be positioned in an appropriate location. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The first invention is a toilet device comprising: a casing having an opening; an earth wire extending from the outside of the casing to the inside of the casing through the opening; a bushing portion provided in the opening to secure the earth wire; and a terminal block provided inside the casing to secure one end of the earth wire, wherein the earth wire has a first portion extending from the bushing portion to above or to the side of the terminal block, and a second portion extending from the first portion to the terminal block, and the second portion has a first region extending from the first portion to the opposite side of the bushing portion, a folded region folded back from the first region toward the bushing portion, and a second region extending from the folded region toward the bushing portion.
[0008] According to this toilet device, the earth wire is arranged so that it passes from the bushing above or to the side of the terminal block and then folds back on itself at a position opposite the bushing across the terminal block, so that the second portion, which is the excess length of the earth wire, can be stored at a position opposite the bushing across the terminal block. This allows the earth wire to be positioned in an appropriate location inside the casing, making more effective use of the space inside the casing than, for example, when the earth wire is not folded back.
[0009] A second invention is a toilet device characterized in that, in the first invention, the casing has a side wall portion, and the first part and the second part are not located between the terminal block and the side wall portion.
[0010] According to this toilet device, by ensuring that the first and second parts are not positioned between the terminal block and the side wall, it is possible to prevent the first and second parts from being pinched by the casing when the casing is closed, thereby improving the ease of assembly of the toilet device.
[0011] A third invention is the toilet device according to the first or second invention, characterized in that the first area is located at a different position in the up-down direction from the second area.
[0012] According to this toilet device, the vertical position of the first area is different from the vertical position of the second area, which prevents the earth wire from spreading out horizontally inside the casing in the direction from the bush portion toward the terminal block, thereby making more effective use of the space inside the casing.
[0013] A fourth invention is the toilet apparatus according to any one of the first to third inventions, characterized in that the first area and the second area intersect.
[0014] In this toilet device, the first and second regions intersect, so that the length of the excess length stored in the same space can be longer than when the first and second regions do not intersect, which can prevent the ground wire from breaking and improve the safety of the toilet device.
[0015] A fifth invention is a toilet device characterized in that, in any one of the first to fourth inventions, the earth wire has a terminal portion provided at the tip of the second part and connected to the terminal block, and the terminal portion is connected to the terminal block so that the second part extends on the opposite side from the bush portion.
[0016] According to this toilet device, the terminal portion is connected to the terminal block so that the second portion extends on the opposite side from the bush portion, which prevents the earth wire from spreading sideways inside the casing in the direction from the bush portion toward the terminal block, thereby making more effective use of the space inside the casing.
[0017] A sixth invention is a toilet device according to any one of the first to fifth inventions, further comprising: a first power supply line that passes through the opening and extends from the outside of the casing to the inside of the casing and is fixed to the bushing portion; a second power supply line that passes through the opening and extends from the outside of the casing to the inside of the casing and is fixed to the bushing portion; and a fixing portion that is provided inside the casing and fixes the first power supply line and the second power supply line, wherein the sum of the length of the first portion and the length of the second portion is longer than the length of the first power supply line from the bushing portion to the fixing portion and is longer than the length of the second power supply line from the bushing portion to the fixing portion.
[0018] According to this toilet device, by making the total length of the first and second portions longer than the length of the first power line from the bushing to the fixed part and longer than the length of the second power line from the bushing to the fixed part, it is possible to prevent the ground line from breaking before the first or second power line when the ground line, first and second power lines are pulled simultaneously, thereby improving the safety of the toilet device.
[0019] A seventh invention is a toilet device according to any one of the first to sixth inventions, characterized in that the casing has a storage section that stores the folded-back area, and the storage section opens upward.
[0020] According to this toilet device, by providing a storage section that stores the folded-back region of the second section, the space inside the casing can be used more effectively. Also, by opening the storage section upward, it is possible to easily release the excess length of the ground wire when it is pulled. This reduces the risk of the ground wire breaking, and improves the safety of the toilet device. [Effects of the Invention]
[0021] According to an aspect of the present invention, a toilet device is provided that allows the earth wire inside the casing to be positioned in an appropriate location. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments 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 descriptions thereof will be omitted where appropriate.
[0024] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a toilet device according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the main parts of the toilet device according to the embodiment. FIG. 2 shows the main components of the waterway system and the main components of the electrical system. As shown in Fig. 1, the toilet device 100 according to the embodiment comprises a Western-style seated toilet bowl (hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, simply referred to as "toilet bowl") 90, a casing 10, a toilet seat 92, and a toilet lid 94. The casing 10 is provided on the rear of the toilet bowl 90. The toilet seat 92 and the toilet lid 94 are each pivotally supported on the casing 10 so as to be able to open and close freely.
[0025] In the following description of the embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "right side," and "left side" are used, and these directions are those seen from the perspective of a user sitting on the toilet seat 92, as shown in Figure 1.
[0026] The casing 10 has a case plate 11 (see Figure 3) placed on the rear of the toilet bowl 90, and a case cover 12 that covers the upper part of the case plate 11. The casing 10 houses various functional parts inside the space surrounded by the case plate 11 and the case cover 12.
[0027] A warm water cleaning function unit is built into the interior of the casing 10 to wash, for example, the bottom of a user sitting on a toilet seat 92. The warm water cleaning function unit includes, for example, a nozzle 80, a flow path 81, a solenoid valve 82, a heat exchanger 83, a flow rate switching valve 84, a flow path switching valve 85, a nozzle motor 86, and a nozzle cleaning chamber 87 (see FIG. 2).
[0028] The nozzle 80 has a discharge port 80a provided at its tip. The nozzle 80 discharges cleaning water supplied from a water supply source WS such as a tap or a water tank from the discharge port 80a to wash the bottom and other parts of the user sitting on the toilet seat 92.
[0029] A solenoid valve 82 is provided upstream of a flow path 81 that connects the water supply source WS and the nozzle 80. The solenoid valve 82 is an openable and closable electromagnetic valve, and controls the supply of water based on commands from the control unit 70. In other words, the solenoid valve 82 switches between supplying water from the water supply source WS to the nozzle 80 and stopping the water.
[0030] A heat exchanger 83 is provided downstream of the solenoid valve 82. The heat exchanger 83 uses a heater to heat water supplied from the water supply source WS, for example, to a specified temperature. The heat exchanger 83 converts the water supplied from the water supply source WS into hot water at a set temperature.
[0031] Downstream of the heat exchanger 83, there are provided a flow rate switching valve 84 that adjusts the flow rate, and a flow path switching valve 85 that opens and closes the water supply to the nozzle 80 and the nozzle cleaning chamber 87 and switches the water supply destination. The flow rate switching valve 84 adjusts the flow rate of water flowing to the nozzle 80. The flow path switching valve 85 can switch the water supply destination (the connection destination of the flow path) to either the nozzle 80 or the nozzle cleaning chamber 87. The flow rate switching valve 84 and the flow path switching valve 85 may be provided as a single unit.
[0032] A nozzle 80 is provided downstream of the flow rate switching valve 84 and the flow path switching valve 85. The nozzle 80 receives a driving force from a nozzle motor 86 and can advance into the bowl of the toilet 90 or retreat into the interior of the casing 10. In other words, the nozzle motor 86 can move the nozzle 80 forward and backward based on commands from the control unit 70.
[0033] The nozzle cleaning chamber 87 can sterilize or clean the outer peripheral surface (body) of the nozzle 80 by spraying sterilizing water or water from a water discharge portion (not shown) provided inside the nozzle cleaning chamber 87. Alternatively, the nozzle cleaning chamber 87 can sterilize or clean the outlet 80a of the nozzle 80 when it is stored.
[0034] Additionally, an electric opening / closing function unit that electrically opens and closes the toilet seat 92 and toilet lid 94 is built into the casing 10. The electric opening / closing function unit includes, for example, an opening / closing motor 96 for opening and closing the toilet seat 92 and toilet lid 94 (see FIG. 2).
[0035] Furthermore, for example, a heated toilet seat function unit that warms the toilet seat 92 is built into the toilet seat 92. The heated toilet seat function unit includes, for example, a toilet seat heater 98 (see FIG. 2).
[0036] The control unit 70 is supplied with power from the power supply PS via the power circuit 71, and controls the operation of the solenoid valve 82, heat exchanger 83, flow rate switching valve 84, flow path switching valve 85, nozzle motor 86, opening / closing motor 96, and toilet seat heater 98 based on signals from the operating unit 72, etc.
[0037] The power supply PS is, for example, an AC power supply. The power supply PS is, for example, a commercial power supply of AC 100V (effective value). The power supply circuit 71 converts the AC power supplied from the power supply PS into DC power and supplies the converted DC power to the control unit 70.
[0038] The toilet apparatus 100 has a power cord 20 for supplying power from a power supply PS to the inside of the casing 10. The power cord 20 has a first power line 31, a second power line 32, and a ground line 40.
[0039] The first power line 31 and the second power line 32 connect the power supply PS and the power supply circuit 71. The first power line 31 is, for example, a live side power line (L line), and the second power line 32 is, for example, a neutral side power line (N line).
[0040] The ground wire 40 connects the power supply PS to the terminal block 45. The terminal block 45 is provided inside the casing 10, and one end (tip) of the ground wire 40 is fixed to the terminal block 45.
[0041] FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a part of the toilet device according to the embodiment. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the periphery of a bushing of the toilet device according to the embodiment. FIG. 5 is an enlarged plan view of a part of the toilet device according to the embodiment. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a part of the toilet device according to the embodiment. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the region R1 shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A1-A2 shown in FIG. 3 to 6 show a state in which the case cover 12 of the casing 10 is removed. Also, in Fig. 3 to 6, parts other than those related to the power supply and earth are omitted.
[0042] 3 to 6, the casing 10 is provided with an opening 13. The opening 13 is located at the boundary between the outside and the inside of the casing 10 when the casing 10 is closed (i.e., when the case plate 11 is covered with the case cover 12), and is a hole that penetrates the casing 10. In this example, the opening 13 penetrates in the front-to-rear direction, and a power cord 20 extends rearward from the opening 13.
[0043] The power cord 20 has an insulating covering member (sheath) 21. The covering member 21 covers the first power line 31, the second power line 32, and the ground wire 40 while they are bundled together. A bushing 22 is provided at the tip of the power cord 20. In this specification, the end closest to the power supply PS is referred to as the "base end" and the end farther from the power supply PS is referred to as the "tip end." The bushing 22 is formed integrally with the covering member 21.
[0044] The bushing portion 22 engages with the opening 13 of the casing 10. This fixes the bushing portion 22 to the opening 13. The first power supply wire 31, the second power supply wire 32, and the earth wire 40 are not bundled beyond the bushing portion 22, but extend to the opposite side of the bushing portion 22. In this way, the first power supply wire 31, the second power supply wire 32, and the earth wire 40 pass through the opening 13, extend from the outside of the casing 10 to the inside of the casing 10, and are fixed to the casing 10 (opening 13) via the bushing portion 22.
[0045] Inside the casing 10, the ground wire 40 extends from the bushing portion 22 to the terminal block 45. In this example, the terminal block 45 is provided in front of the bushing portion 22.
[0046] The ground wire 40 has a first portion 41 and a second portion 42. The first portion 41 is a portion that extends from the bush portion 22 to above or to the side of the terminal block 45. The second portion 42 is a portion that extends from the first portion 41 to the terminal block 45. The second portion 42 is, for example, an excess portion of the ground wire 40. The first portion 41 is, for example, a portion of the ground wire 40 other than the excess portion.
[0047] In this example, the ground wire 40 passes above the terminal block 45. A part of the first portion 41 (a part of the second portion 42) is located above the terminal block 45. That is, a part of the first portion 41 (a part of the second portion 42) overlaps with the terminal block 45 in the up-down direction. In the embodiment, the ground wire 40 may pass along the side of the terminal block 45. A part of the first portion 41 (a part of the second portion 42) may be located on the side of the terminal block 45. That is, a part of the first portion 41 (a part of the second portion 42) may overlap with the terminal block 45 in the left-right direction.
[0048] When the ground wire 40 passes along the side of the terminal block 45, it is preferable that the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 are not positioned between the terminal block 45 and the side wall portion 14 of the casing 10. In other words, when the ground wire 40 passes along the side of the terminal block 45, it is preferable that the ground wire 40 passes on the opposite side of the side wall portion 14 of the casing 10 from the terminal block 45. In other words, when the ground wire 40 passes along the side of the terminal block 45, it is preferable that the terminal block 45 be positioned between the ground wire 40 and the side wall portion 14 of the casing 10.
[0049] The second portion 42 has a first region 42a, a folded region 42b, and a second region 42c. The first region 42a is connected to the first portion 41 and extends from the first portion 41 in a direction opposite to the bushing portion 22. The folded region 42b is connected to the first region 42a and is folded back from the first region 42a toward the bushing portion 22. The second region 42c is connected to the folded region 42b and extends from the folded region 42b toward the bushing portion 22.
[0050] Thus, inside the casing 10, the earth wire 40 passes from the bush portion 22 above or to the side of the terminal block 45 (first portion 41), extends to the opposite side of the bush portion 22 across the terminal block 45 (first region 42a of the second portion 42), folds back (folded region 42b of the second portion 42), extends toward the bush portion 22 (second region 42c of the second portion 42), and is connected to the terminal block 45.
[0051] The vertical position of the first region 42a is preferably different from the vertical position of the second region 42c. At least a portion of the first region 42a is preferably located above or below the second region 42c in a side view.
[0052] The first region 42a and the second region 42c preferably intersect. The first region 42a and the second region 42c preferably intersect in a side view. The first region 42a and the second region 42c may intersect, for example, in a plan view.
[0053] A terminal portion 43 connected to a terminal block 45 is provided at the tip of the second portion 42. The terminal portion 43 is connected to the terminal block 45 so that the second portion 42 extends on the opposite side from the bush portion 22. In other words, the connection portion between the second portion 42 and the terminal portion 43 is located on the opposite side of the terminal block 45 from the bush portion 22. In this example, the terminal portion 43 is connected to the terminal block 45 so that the second portion 42 extends forward from the terminal block 45. In other words, in this example, the connection portion between the second portion 42 and the terminal portion 43 is located in front of the terminal block 45.
[0054] In this example, the second region 42c is connected to the terminal block 45 via the terminal portion 43. That is, in this example, the terminal portion 43 is provided at the tip of the second region 42c. In the embodiment, the second region 42c does not have to be connected to the terminal block 45. The second portion 42 may have, for example, another region located between the second region 42c and the terminal portion 43. The other region may include, for example, another folded region that is folded back from the second region 42c to the side opposite the bushing portion 22, or a region that extends from the other folded region to the side opposite the bushing portion 22. That is, the second portion 42 may have, for example, a plurality of folded regions.
[0055] The casing 10 is provided with a storage section 15 that stores a portion of the ground wire 40. The storage section 15 stores, for example, a portion of the first region 42a, the folded-back region 42b, and a portion of the second region 42c of the second portion 42 of the ground wire 40.
[0056] The storage section 15 has a front surface 15a and a side surface 15b. The front surface 15a is located in front of the terminal block 45. The side surface 15b faces the side wall 14 of the casing 10. The storage section 15 stores the folded region 42b and the like in a space surrounded by the front surface 15a, the side surface 15b, and the side wall 14 of the casing 10. The storage section 15 is open upward.
[0057] Inside the casing 10, the first power line 31 and the second power line 32 each extend from the bushing portion 22 to the fixing portion 35. The fixing portion 35 is provided inside the casing 10 and fixes the first power line 31 and the second power line 32. The fixing portion 35 holds, for example, intermediate portions of the first power line 31 and the second power line 32 extending from the bushing portion 22 to the power supply circuit 71. In this example, the fixing portion 35 is located on the opposite side of the side surface portion 14 of the casing 10 across the first portion 41 of the ground wire 40.
[0058] FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the lengths of the first and second power supply wires and the length of the earth wire of the toilet device according to the embodiment. 7, the sum of the length L1 of the first portion 41 and the length L2 of the second portion 42 is longer than, for example, the length L3 from the bush portion 22 to the fixed portion 35 of the first power line 31 (L1+L2>L3). Also, the sum of the length L1 of the first portion 41 and the length L2 of the second portion 42 is longer than, for example, the length L4 from the bush portion 22 to the fixed portion 35 of the second power line 32 (L1+L2>L4).
[0059] In this example, length L3 is the same as length L4. Length L3 may be different from length L4. Also, in this example, length L1 is shorter than length L3 and shorter than length L4. Length L1 may be longer than length L3. Length L1 may be longer than length L4. Also, in this example, length L2 is shorter than length L1. Length L2 may be the same as length L1 or may be longer than length L1.
[0060] The following describes the effects of the toilet apparatus 100 according to the embodiment. In recent years, there has been a demand for smaller and more multifunctional toilet devices. In order to reduce the size of the casing while accommodating various functional parts inside, it is necessary to place the ground wire inside the casing in an appropriate location and effectively utilize the space inside the casing.
[0061] In contrast, according to the toilet apparatus 100 of this embodiment, the earth wire 40 is arranged so as to pass from the bush portion 22 above or to the side of the terminal block 45 and bend back at a position opposite the bush portion 22 across the terminal block 45, thereby making it possible to store the second portion 42, which is the excess portion of the earth wire 40, at a position opposite the bush portion 22 across the terminal block 45. This makes it possible to position the earth wire 40 inside the casing 10 in an appropriate location and make effective use of the space inside the casing 10, compared to when the earth wire 40 is not bent back, for example.
[0062] Furthermore, by ensuring that the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 are not positioned between the terminal block 45 and the side wall portion 14, it is possible to prevent the first portion 41 or the second portion 42 from being pinched in the casing 10 when the casing 10 is closed. This improves the ease of assembly of the toilet device 100.
[0063] Furthermore, since the vertical position of the first region 42a is different from the vertical position of the second region 42c, the earth wire 40 inside the casing 10 can be prevented from spreading laterally in the direction from the bush portion 22 toward the terminal block 45, thereby making more effective use of the space inside the casing 10.
[0064] Furthermore, since the first region 42a and the second region 42c intersect, the length of the excess length stored in the same space can be longer than when the first region 42a and the second region 42c do not intersect, which can prevent the earth wire 40 from breaking and improve the safety of the toilet apparatus 100.
[0065] Furthermore, by connecting the terminal portion 43 to the terminal block 45 so that the second portion 42 extends in the opposite direction from the bush portion 22, the earth wire 40 inside the casing 10 can be prevented from spreading laterally in the direction from the bush portion 22 toward the terminal block 45, thereby making more effective use of the space inside the casing 10.
[0066] Furthermore, by making the sum of the length L1 of the first portion 41 and the length L2 of the second portion 42 longer than the length L3 of the first power line 31 from the bushing 22 to the fixed portion 35, and longer than the length L4 of the second power line 32 from the bushing 22 to the fixed portion 35, it is possible to prevent the ground line 40 from breaking before the first power line 31 or the second power line 32 when the ground line 40, the first power line 31, and the second power line 32 are pulled simultaneously. This makes it possible to improve the safety of the toilet apparatus 100.
[0067] Furthermore, by providing the storage section 15 that stores the folded-back region 42b of the second section 42, the space inside the casing 10 can be used more effectively. Furthermore, by opening the storage section 15 upward, it is possible to easily release the excess length of the earth wire 40 when it is pulled. This makes it possible to prevent the earth wire 40 from breaking, and improve the safety of the toilet apparatus 100.
[0068] As described above, according to the embodiment, a toilet apparatus is provided in which the ground wire inside the casing can be positioned in an appropriate location.
[0069] The above describes embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to these descriptions. Design modifications made by a person skilled in the art to the above-described embodiments are also included within the scope of the present invention as long as they incorporate the features of the present invention.
