Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a heated toilet seat with a built-in heater inside the seat, and a hinge shaft 3 that is located on the center side of the rear corner 2 of the back of the toilet seat 1 and that pivotally supports the toilet seat 1. A cord pull-out portion 4 is provided at a position close to the
This relates to a heated toilet seat in which a power cord 5 is pulled out from a cord pull-out part 4 along the back surface of the toilet seat 1 so as to be parallel to the hinge shaft 3.

The back of the toilet seat is rotatably supported by a hinge shaft, so that the toilet seat can be rotated to stand upright. Therefore, when the power cord for the heater built into the underside of the toilet seat protrudes from the back of the toilet seat, the relatively hard cord pull-out part (butching part) of the power cord protrudes vertically from the back of the toilet seat, opening the toilet seat. When the power cord is placed upright, the cord pull-out portion of the power cord may be bent by the top surface of the toilet bowl or the base of the heated toilet seat, or the elasticity of the bent cord pull-out portion may cause the toilet seat to fall over.

Therefore, in conventional heated toilet seats, in order to prevent the cord drawer from hitting the top surface or base of the toilet when the toilet seat is upright, the rear corner 2 on the side of the toilet seat 1 is shown in Figure 1. At a position further away from the center, a cord pull-out part 4 is provided so as to have a corner θ with the hinge shaft 3 and a distance d, and the power cord 5 is pulled out. However, in this conventional example, when a commercially available toilet seat cover 6 is used, it can only cover the area surrounded by the broken line in FIG. 1, which has the disadvantage of an unsightly appearance. In addition, since the cord pull-out part 4 is apart from the axis of the hinge shaft 3, the rotation of the toilet seat 1 causes the cord pull-out part 4 to rotate at a certain radius around the hinge shaft 3, so that the power cord 5 is connected to the toilet seat. There was a problem in that the power cord 5 was pulled between the fixed point and the cord pull-out part 4 every time the power cord 1 was rotated. For this reason, if the power cord 5 is not designed to have a length that is loosened, the cord pull-out part 4 and the power cord 5 will be worn out, and if the power cord 5 is left slack, the power cord There was a drawback that the 5 was fluctuating.

The present invention was made in view of these points,
The purpose of this is to allow a commercially available cloth toilet seat cover to cover the entire toilet seat, to prevent the cord pull-out part from bending when the toilet seat is opened in an upright position, and to prevent the power cord from being worn and shaken due to the rotation of the toilet seat. The goal is to minimize movement.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Fig. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a toilet seat, and a cord pull-out portion 4 is provided near the center of the hinge shaft 3, near the center of the rear corner 2 of the toilet seat 1, and approximately parallel to the hinge shaft 3, and a power cord Pull out 5. FIG. 3 shows such a toilet seat 1 attached to a toilet bowl 7, and 8 is a toilet lid. A 50W tubing heater 9 is provided inside the toilet seat 1 as shown in FIG. 4 to heat the toilet seat 1. 10 is a bimetal thermostat, and 11 is a temperature fuse. Therefore, when the toilet seat 1 rotates, the rotation radius of the cord pull-out part 4 becomes smaller, and the power cord 5 is not pulled every time the toilet seat 1 rotates, which prevents the cord pull-out part 4 and the power cord 5 from being worn out. without being affected, and
Even when the toilet seat cover is used, the cord pull-out part 4 does not get in the way and can be completely covered.

In FIG. 5, a switch 12 is provided near the tip of the toilet seat 1, and when a person sits on the toilet seat 1, the switch 12 is activated.
The heater in the toilet seat 1 is switched from strong to weak by activating the heater to prevent low-temperature burns even if the elderly, physically weak, or those with sensitive skin sit for a long time. As shown in FIG. 6, the switch 12 has a switch body 13 fixed to the toilet seat 1, and an operation plate 1 attached to the operation button 14 via a spring 15 to a rubber cover 16.
7 are placed opposite each other, and the rubber cover 16 is brought into contact with the toilet bowl 7. As shown in FIG. 7, the switch body 13 consists of a contact 19 having a diode 18 connected in series, and a contact 19' connected in parallel to this series circuit, and is connected in series to the tubing heater 9. 20 is a hand switch (power switch). Therefore, when the hand switch 20 is turned on and the toilet seat 1 is not in use, the contact 19' of the switch body 13 is turned on, so that the toilet seat 1 is preheated with 30W and a person can sit on the toilet seat 1 when the toilet seat 1 is in use. Therefore, due to the load, the operation plate 17 presses the operation button 14 to switch the switch body 13, and the contact 19' is turned off, and the contact 19 is turned on, and the diode 1 is connected in series to the tubing heater 9.
8 is connected, it can be switched to about 10W to prevent low-temperature burns. The switch 12 is installed near the tip of the toilet seat 1 where it is difficult for the boy to get splashed with water when he urinates, and even if the water gets wet, the rubber cover 16 can prevent electric shock.

FIG. 8 shows another embodiment in which the switch body 13 is switched by an operation plate 17 fixed to the hinge shaft 3, and operates in the same manner as in FIGS. 5 and 6. In addition, to prevent electric shock, it is covered with a urine scattering prevention cover 21 to ensure safety.

As mentioned above, this invention has a cord pull-out part on the back of the toilet seat, so when you put the cloth toilet seat cover over the toilet seat, the toilet seat cover will not get caught on the side of the toilet seat, and the cloth toilet seat cover will not get caught on the side of the toilet seat. The entire toilet seat can be completely covered with the toilet seat cover, so even if you sit deeply on the toilet seat, your buttocks will touch the exposed part of the toilet seat and cause burns or cold sensations. This has the effect that it does not cause any discomfort or discomfort to the buttocks of the seated person. In addition, a cord pull-out part is provided at a position closer to the center of the rear corner of the back of the toilet seat and close to the hinge shaft that pivots the toilet seat, and the power cord is pulled out from this cord pull-out part, so that the hinge shaft When the toilet seat is rotated around the center, the radius of movement of the cord pull-out part can be reduced, which prevents the inconvenience of the power cord pulled out from the cord pull-out part being pulled and worn out, and the power cord swinging around. It can be made small. Moreover, even though the power cord was pulled out from the cord pullout part on the back of the toilet seat, the power cord was pulled out from the cord pullout part along the back of the toilet seat so that it was parallel to the hinge shaft. It is parallel to the toilet seat and does not protrude backwards, and has the effect that even when the toilet seat is stood up, the cord pull-out part will not be bent or the toilet seat will not fall down due to the elasticity of the folded cord pull-out part.
