Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a toilet seat device used in a Western-style toilet bowl, etc., which has a function of washing the private parts with hot water etc. after defecating, and then drying them with warm air, and a function of heating the inside of the toilet. It is something.

Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, in this type of device, as shown in FIG. A drying device A is provided which constitutes a ventilation path 5 and has a built-in blower 8 and an electric heater 9 including an impeller 6 and a motor 7 for driving the impeller 6.
This drying device A is arranged at the upper rear part of the toilet bowl 1, and by energizing the electric heater 9 and operating the blower 8, air flows from the air supply port 3 to the discharge port 2 (indicated by the solid line arrow in the figure). ) was heated with an electric heater 9 and then discharged into the toilet bowl 1 from the discharge port 2 to dry the private parts. On the other hand, for heating inside the toilet room, for example, a separate heating device such as an air heater was used in combination.

However, although such a configuration has the advantage that each device can be used independently, there is a problem that the entire device becomes large in size as a device having all functions.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention solves the problems of the prior art, and uses a local drying blower and an electric heater placed in the toilet seat device to heat the toilet room and accurately open and close the damper. The purpose of this design is to achieve this and at the same time reduce the size of the device.

Composition of the Invention In order to achieve this object, the present invention has a function of drying the private parts using a blower and an electric heater after cleaning the private parts, and provides a ventilation opening opened to the outside of the toilet bowl in the ventilation passage downstream of the electric heater. and a discharge port that opens into the toilet bowl, and a damper that opens and closes the ventilation port and the discharge port in synchronization with the opening and closing of the valve lid, and the damper is operated by the mechanical force caused by opening and closing the toilet lid. This is how it was done.

According to the above configuration, a blower and an electric heater used for local drying are used to discharge warm air in the ventilation passage to the outside of the toilet bowl through the ventilation hole when the toilet lid is closed, and to ventilate the air when the toilet lid is open. The warm air in the passage is discharged into the toilet bowl through the discharge port.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

Fig. 2 shows the case where this device B is installed on the toilet bowl 11 and performs indoor heating with the toilet lid 10 closed, Fig. 3 shows its main parts, and Fig. 4 also shows the main parts. A state in which the toilet lid 10 is opened is shown. In addition, in FIGS. 2 to 4, solid line arrows indicate the flow of indoor heating air.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a blower 18 for blowing air for room heating and an electric heater 19 for heating the air are arranged inside the exterior 14, and a ventilation path is provided downstream of the electric heater 19. 15 is provided with a ventilation port 13 that opens to the outside of the toilet bowl 11 and a discharge port 12 that opens into the toilet bowl 11 and discharges warm air for drying when drying a local area. By opening and closing the toilet lid 10 provided above, the ventilation opening 13 is opened and closed by a protrusion 20 arranged on the toilet seat 10 and a drape 21 arranged at one end of the damper 16.

That is, the damper 16 provided in the ventilation port 13
is rotatable up and down with the support 22 as the center of rotation, and the inner end 23 rotates inward of the ventilation passage 15 due to the gravity of the heavy hanging 21 disposed here, and the outer end 24
has a structure in which the ventilation passage 15 rotates outward, and the outer end 24
is located in contact with a hemispherical protrusion 20 provided on the toilet lid 10, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the toilet lid 10 is closed, the damper 16 is moved to the ventilation 15 by the gravity of the heavy hanging 21. The damper 16 opens the ventilation port 13 at the same time as closing the discharge port 12 side of the toilet bowl 11, so that the outside of the toilet bowl 11 and the ventilation passage 15 are directly communicated with each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the toilet lid 10 is opened, a hemispherical protrusion 20 disposed on the toilet lid 10
, the outer end 24 of the damper 16 is pushed down to close the ventilation port 13, and at the same time the discharge port 1 is closed.
The second side is opened to communicate the ventilation passage 15 with the outside of the toilet bowl 11 via the discharge port 12.

5 to 7 show another embodiment in which the damper 16 is opened and closed using the magnetic force of a magnet. In FIGS. 5 to 7, the same numbers as those described above indicate the same parts, and the outer end 24 of the damper 16
For example, if an S-pole magnet 25 is arranged,
As shown in the figure, when the toilet lid 10 is closed, a magnet 25 and a magnet 26 of different polarity are arranged in the part of the toilet lid 10 that faces the magnet 25, and the outer end damper 1 by rotating outward.
6 closes the outlet 12 side of the ventilation passage 15, and at the same time, the damper 16 opens the ventilation passage 13 to close the toilet bowl 11.
The air passage 15 is configured to directly communicate with the outside. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a magnet 27 having the same polarity as the magnet 25 is disposed in the part of the toilet lid 10 that faces the magnet 25 when the toilet lid 10 is opened, and the repulsive force of both magnets 25 and 27 is used to remove the toilet lid. The end 24 is pushed down to close the ventilation port 13 and at the same time open the discharge port 12 side, thereby communicating the ventilation passage 15 with the outside of the toilet bowl 11 via the discharge port 12.

With the above configuration, the air blown by the blower 18 is heated by the electric heater 19, and is directly discharged outside the toilet bowl 11 from the ventilation opening 13, thereby heating the room.

In addition, by making the protrusion or magnet arranged on the toilet lid removable, it can be used on an existing toilet lid, which has the advantage of further expanding its range of use.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, since the toilet room is heated using a blower for local drying and an electric heater, the entire device can be downsized. Furthermore, the damper is configured to open and close in synchronization with the opening and closing of the toilet lid, and the mechanical force used to open and close the toilet lid directly drives the damper to open and close the vents and discharge ports in the ventilation path, ensuring reliable opening and closing of the damper. At the same time, the discharge port is opened when the toilet lid is opened, and the air blown by the blower is heated by an electric heater and released from the discharge port into the toilet bowl. Since the toilet lid is open, the air flows above the toilet bowl and is used to heat the room.When the toilet lid is closed, the air vents are opened to directly communicate the outside of the toilet bowl with the ventilation duct. The blown air is heated by an electric heater and discharged directly outside the toilet bowl through the ventilation opening to heat the room. In particular, since hot air is directly released outside the toilet bowl when the toilet lid is closed, the room can be heated effectively without the hot air staying inside the toilet bowl and overheating the toilet lid or the like.
