検知機構に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention can be applied only when the user is seated when the toilet bowl is equipped with electric equipment such as a hot water washing device and a hot air fan. The present invention relates to a seating detection mechanism for enabling the above device to operate.

時のみ温水洗浄装置等の機器を作動可能にし、非着座時
には、機器の作動が阻止されるようにしている。As a typical means for preventing the above-mentioned erroneous operation, there is one using a mechanism for detecting the load applied to the toilet seat when the user sits down. 3 and 4 show an example of a conventional seating detection mechanism provided in the toilet seat box 21 and the toilet seat 24, and are a plan view and an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part, respectively. As shown in the figure, it is installed on the upper surface of the rear part of the toilet bowl and is equipped with a warm water washing device, a warm air fan, etc. (not shown).
A toilet seat 24 is swingably attached by a hinge shaft 22 to a toilet seat box 21 for storing the. Further, the pressure sensitive switch 30 is provided inside the toilet seat box 24, and one of the hinge shafts 22 is brought into contact with the pressure sensitive portion 31 of the pressure sensitive switch 30. With this configuration, when the user sits on the toilet seat 24, the hinge shaft 22 is pushed down by the load, and the pressing force acts on the pressure sensitive portion 31 of the pressure sensitive switch 30.
Based on the presence or absence of this pressing force, the pressure-sensitive switch 30 detects whether or not the user is seated on the toilet seat 24, and enables devices such as the warm water washing device to be activated only when the user is seated, and when not seated. , The operation of the equipment is blocked.

り、感圧スイッチ30の動作異常を招くのである。In the conventional seating detection mechanism described above, the hinge shaft 22 that attaches the toilet seat 24 to the toilet seat box 21 is attached to the pressure sensitive portion 31 of the pressure sensitive switch 30.
And the load applied to the toilet seat when the user sits down is detected. By the way, when there is a rattling on the hinge shaft 22 due to a dimensional error between the hinge shaft 22 and the bearing portion 23 (see FIG. 4) of the toilet seat 24, the user sits on the toilet seat. When the load is 31
There is a risk that the pressure sensitive switch 30 may not operate normally due to the failure of accurate transmission. The pressure-sensitive switch 30 detects the load applied to the toilet seat 24 with a very small descending stroke of less than 1 mm (about 0.8 mm) on the hinge shaft 22. Therefore, if the fitting state between the hinge shaft 22 and the bearing portion 23 of the toilet seat 24 is not appropriate, the pressing state of the hinge shaft 22 against the pressure sensitive portion 31 becomes defective, and the abnormal operation of the pressure sensitive switch 30 may occur. Invite.

ように配置されていることである。The present invention is a seating detection mechanism devised in view of the above problems, and is characterized in that a bearing portion for fitting and inserting a hinge shaft is integrally provided at a rear end portion of a toilet seat. ,
The toilet seat is attached to the toilet seat box by the hinge shaft fitted and inserted in the bearing portion, and the pressure-sensitive switch is disposed in the toilet seat box at a position directly below the bearing portion, and the outer surface of the bearing portion is pressure-sensitive switch. That is, it is arranged so as to come into contact with the pressure-sensitive portion.

座検知を確実に行うことができる。Since the seating detection mechanism according to the present invention is arranged so that the outer surface of the bearing portion of the toilet seat is brought into contact with the pressure-sensitive portion of the pressure-sensitive switch disposed directly below, the load applied to the toilet seat when the user is seated is It acts directly on the pressure sensitive part of the pressure sensitive switch.
Therefore, even if there is some dimensional error between the hinge shaft and the seat of the toilet seat, and even if there is some rattling in the state in which the toilet seat is attached to the toilet seat box, the load applied to the toilet seat will be small. Since it acts on the pressure sensitive switch accurately, it is possible to reliably detect the seating of the user.

ものである。Note that the pressure-sensitive switch closes the circuit and warms water only while the pressure-sensitive part is being applied with a certain amount of pressure or more, that is, while the user is seated and the load is acting on the toilet seat. This is for enabling the device, the hot air fan, and other devices to be energized.
以下、本考案の詳細を実施例を示す図面に基づいて説明

れか一方の軸受部６の直下へ配置されている。1 and 2 are a plan view and an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part of a toilet seat box 1 and a toilet seat 4 equipped with a seating detection device according to the present invention. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the toilet seat box 1
An overhanging portion 3 is formed on the cover portion 2 in a protruding manner, and a toilet seat 4 is attached by a hinge shaft 5 inserted and attached to the overhanging portion 3. Pressure-sensitive switch constituting a seating detection mechanism according to the present invention
The seat 10 is arranged in the toilet seat 4 immediately below one of the bearings 6 into which the hinge shaft 5 is inserted.

置されている。FIG. 2 shows the mounting state of the pressure sensitive switch 10 and corresponds to a sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG.
As shown in the drawing, the toilet seat 4 is swingably attached to the toilet seat box 1 by a hinge shaft 5 fitted and inserted in the bearing portion 6. In this embodiment, the pressure-sensitive switch 10 is mounted by the holder 7 provided in the toilet seat box 1, and the pressure-sensitive portion 11 of the pressure-sensitive switch 10 is directly below the bearing portion 6 of either one of the toilet seats 4. It is arranged so as to abut.

起こさないようにしているのである。By the way, the pressure-sensitive switch 10 is set so as not to operate unless the pressure-sensitive portion 11 is applied with a load of a predetermined magnitude or more. That is, the pressure-sensitive switch 10 is prevented from malfunctioning under a light load such as placing a hand or a toilet lid on the toilet seat 4.
なお本考案の実施例は、上述に限定されるものではな
く、実施の態様に応じて種々の変更を施すことが可能で
あるのは言うまでもない。The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made according to the embodiment.

用者が便座に着座しているか否かの検出が確実である。Since the seating detection mechanism according to the present invention is arranged so that the outer surface of the bearing portion, which is a part of the toilet seat, contacts the pressure-sensitive portion of the pressure-sensitive switch arranged directly below, the load applied to the toilet seat when the user is seated Acts directly on the pressure sensitive switch. Therefore, it is reliable to detect whether the user is sitting on the toilet seat.

接触状態が不良となり、その結果、使用者が着座してい
るにもかかわらず温水洗浄装置や温風ファン等の機器が
作動しないというような誤作動を招くおそれがあった。In the past, since a toilet seat load was applied to the pressure sensitive switch via the hinge shaft, if there is a dimensional error between the bearing portion of the toilet seat and the hinge shaft, the hinge shaft and the pressure sensitive switch will be separated from each other. The contact state becomes poor, and as a result, there is a possibility of causing a malfunction such as a device such as a warm water washing device and a warm air fan not operating even when the user is seated.

きるのである。On the other hand, in the present invention, since there is no inclusion between the toilet seat and the pressure-sensitive switch, even if there is rattling in the state of attachment of the toilet seat to the toilet seat box, such defects are adversely affected. The seating of the user can be accurately detected without the need.
要するに、本考案に係る着座検知機構は、簡単な構成で
