31 outputs a forward rotation command signal to the motor drive circuit 33;
As a result, the motor 14 rotates normally and the urinal concealment door 8.8
is developed (Sr52).

When the urinal concealment m8.8 is opened, the second photoelectric sensor 27 detects a person (urinal user) in front of the urinal 10.
If a person is standing, the second photoelectric sensor 27 detects the person and turns on (Sr53), and the CPU 31 sends an opening command signal to the solenoid valve drive circuit 34. As a result, the solenoid valve 19 is opened (Sr54), and flush water is supplied to the urinal 10. Furthermore, the CPU 3t outputs an operation command signal to the deodorizing fan drive circuit 35, and thereby the deodorizing fan 17 is activated (Sr55), and the odor is exhausted.

On the other hand, when the person standing in front of the urinal concealment m8.8 leaves while the urinal concealment screens 8, 8 are being opened, the second photoelectric sensor 27 maintains the OFF state, and the CPU 31
A reversal command signal is output to the motor drive circuit 33, thereby causing the motor 14 to reverse and close the urinal concealment door 8.8 (Sr63).

Next, when the use of the urinal 10 is finished and the person leaves from directly in front of the urinal 10, the second photoelectric sensor 27 is turned off (ST56), and the CPU 31 controls the solenoid valve drive circuit 34.
A closing command signal is outputted to close the solenoid valve 19 (ST57), and the supply of flush water to the urinal 10 is stopped.

Further, when the second photoelectric sensor 27 is turned off (ST
56), the first timer 38 starts operating and when time t (=30 seconds) has elapsed since the first timer 38 started operating (ST59), the CPU 31 sends a stop command signal to the deodorizing fan drive circuit 35. This causes the deodorizing fan 17 to stop (ST60).

Further, when the second photoelectric sensor 27 is turned off (S
T56), the second timer 39 does not operate 5T61), the second timer 39 does not operate.
When time tb (=5 seconds) has elapsed since the timer 39 was activated (ST62), the CPU 31 outputs a reverse rotation command signal to the motor drive circuit 33, thereby causing the motor 14 to
is reversed and the urinal concealment door 8.8 closes (ST63)
.

Next, the urinal concealment door 8 is opened by operating the open/close switch 25a.
, 8 will be explained based on the flowchart of FIG.

First, when the open/close switch 25a is pressed (ST71), the CP
U31 outputs a forward rotation command signal to the motor drive circuit 33, which causes the motor 14 to rotate forward and close the urinal concealment door 8.
8 is opened (ST72).

When the cleaning of the urinal 10 is finished and the opening/closing switch 25a is pressed (ST73), the CPU 31 starts the motor drive circuit 33.
A reversal command signal is outputted to the urinal, thereby causing the motor 14 to reversely rotate and close the urinal concealment door 8.8 (ST74).

Next, the operation of the electric valve 19 by operating the wash water supply switch 25b will be explained based on the flowchart of FIG. 8.

First, when you press the wash water supply switch 25b (ST81)
, the CPU 31 outputs an opening command signal to the solenoid valve drive circuit 34, thereby opening the solenoid valve 19 (ST82).
), flush water is supplied to the urinal 10, and the third timer 4o is activated (ST83).

When time tc (=15 seconds) has elapsed since the third timer 40 was activated (ST84), the CPU 31 outputs a closing command signal to the solenoid valve drive circuit 34, thereby causing the solenoid valve 1
9 is closed (ST85), and the supply of flush water to the urinal 10 is stopped.

As explained above, according to the urinal unit 1 according to this embodiment, when the urinal 10 is used, the urinal concealing door 8.8 is opened to expose the urinal 10, and the urinal 10 is not used. When not in use, the urinal 10 is placed in a box-shaped cabinet 2.
Since the urinal is stored in the urinal and concealed by the urinal concealment doors 8, 8, odor resistance and aesthetics can be improved.

In addition, since the urinal cover 5i18.8 is configured to open and close based on the detection signal of the first photoelectric sensor 26, the urinal user does not have to operate a contact-type opening/closing switch, which is sanitary. It is also possible to prevent forgetting to close the urinal concealment doors 8, 8.

In addition, the urinal concealment door 8 can be opened by operating the open/close switch 25a.
, 8 can be opened and closed, so the urinal concealment door 8, 8
can be prevented from becoming a hindrance when cleaning the urinal.

Also, by operating the flush water supply switch 25b, the urinal 1
Since cleaning water can be supplied to the urinal 10, cleaning work of the urinal 10 becomes easier.

Furthermore, since the deodorizing fan 17 is activated and stopped and the solenoid valve 19 is opened and closed based on the detection signal of the second photoelectric sensor 27, when the urinal 10 is used, the deodorizing fan 17 is activated and the urinal 17 is activated. Cleaning water is supplied to the toilet bowl 10, which further improves the deodorizing effect, and also prevents forgetting to stop the deodorizing fan 17 and forgetting to turn off the flushing water, thereby saving power and water.

Since the cleaning tool storage section 21 is provided using the dead space of the box-shaped cabinet 2, the dead space can be used effectively, and cleaning tools can be organized without the need for a new cleaning tool storage cabinet. ,
It is possible to save space in the toilet space and make effective use of the toilet space.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the urinal unit of the present invention, the urinal concealing layer opens to expose the urinal when there is a user using the urinal, and flush water flows into the urinal. When the urinal is supplied and no one is using the urinal, the urinal is hidden by a urinal cover, which improves odor resistance and aesthetics.

In addition, since the urinal concealment layer is opened and closed based on the output of the human detector, the urinal user does not have to operate a contact switch when opening and closing the urinal concealment layer.
It is hygienic, and more importantly, it prevents people from forgetting to close the urinal cover.

Furthermore, since the urinal concealment layer can be opened and closed by operating the on/off switch, the urinal concealment layer does not interfere with urinal cleaning, and flush water can be supplied to the urinal by operating the flush water supply switch. Because we can supply
Cleaning the urinal becomes easier.
