Description

  The present invention relates to a seated toilet, and more particularly to the shape of a toilet positioned forward when seated.

  When using a sitting toilet by a man, there has been a problem that urine is scattered outside the toilet. The use of a large number of toilets as described below has been introduced.

JP 2000-204631 A Utility Model Registration No. 3096417 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-230268 JP 2006-149477 A JP 2007-70995 A

  However, any of the above methods has a problem that unsanitaryity due to urine rebound cannot be resolved.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a toilet that can restrict the tip of the urine that collides with the toilet so that it does not face the user.

  The seated toilet according to the present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, urinates in the form of covering the lower abdomen so as not to be seen from the front, between the thighs of the seated user in front of the seat-type toilet body. A front cover is provided, and an upper surface of the front cover is provided with a flat surface.

  The toilet body is configured by a substantially horseshoe-shaped toilet seat placed on the rim portion of the main body, and includes a notch portion in front of the toilet seat for avoiding a conflict with the front cover when undulating. The guide surface (which may be a curved surface or a plane may be connected to the inner surface in front of the toilet including the inner surface of the front cover, which is on the urination trajectory launched substantially horizontally and guides the urine force downward parabolically. Or a structure having water discharge (sprinkling) means for guiding urine discharged almost horizontally downward and forward along the guide surface on the upper inner surface of the front cover. Also good.

  By adopting a structure with a front cover that receives urination in a form that covers the lower abdomen so that it cannot be seen from the front, between the thighs of seated users, urine can be removed from the toilet even when using a seated toilet. The problem of scattering is solved.

  In addition to providing a flat surface on the upper surface of the front cover, it can be used as a clue to stand up from the toilet seat, and booklets and small items (cigarettes, cosmetics, glasses, medical instruments such as blood pressure measuring instruments and thermometers) can be placed on the front cover. Alternatively, it can be used as a support base.

  Further, the toilet is provided with a solid surface on the front inner surface of the toilet including the inner surface of the front cover, or a structure including water discharge means for guiding the urine discharged almost horizontally on the upper inner surface of the front cover to the lower front. The tip of the collided urine can be restricted so that it is not suitable for the user. In particular, if a structure having both of them is employed, a sequential cleaning effect for avoiding dirt on the inner surface of the front cover can be achieved without scattering dirt toward the user.

Embodiments of a seated toilet according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In the example shown in the figure, a seat-type toilet body 1, a toilet seat 2 placed in the shape of a rim of the toilet body 1, and an opening of the toilet body 1 are stacked on the toilet body 1 and the toilet seat 2. It is composed of a closing lid 3.

  The toilet body 1 includes a front cover 4 that is located between the thighs of a user sitting in front of the toilet body 1 and receives urination in a form that covers the lower abdomen so as not to be seen from the front, and is flat on the upper surface of the front cover. It has a surface. The planar shape of the flat surface 13 is not particularly limited, such as a square shape, an elliptical shape, or a fan shape, but it is desirable to select a shape and size that are easy to squeeze and easily become a clue. Further, the flat surface 13 may be prevented from slipping.

  The height and width of the front cover 4 are preferably as high and wide as possible from the viewpoint of receiving urine, but from the viewpoint of use, even a short user straddles the front cover 4. It is necessary to select within a range that does not interfere with the seating. Further, the upper surface that can be detachably stacked on the flat surface 13 of the front cover 4 is about 3 cm to about 3 cm so that the height of the flat surface 13 can be adjusted according to the physique of the user. You may take the structure which can mount the auxiliary stand (illustration omitted) of height 5cm on a single or multiple piles. At this time, in order not to be displaced or disengaged even if the user's hand is involved, the relationship between the upper part of the front cover 4 and the lower part of the auxiliary table, or the relationship between the multiple auxiliary tables that are overlapped with each other. It is desirable to employ a structure that fits in, and to provide a connecting portion that is screwed or provided with a locking means or the like.

  The front inner surface of the toilet body 1 including the inner surface of the front cover 4 may have a shape learned from the surface of the front cover 4, but the urine force is parabolically lowered on the urination trajectory launched substantially horizontally. It may be provided with a guide surface 5 for guiding to the center. In consideration of the average momentum of the released urine and the momentum of the urine reflected by the guidance surface 5, the guidance surface 5 is incident on each guidance surface 5 (normal line of the guidance surface 5). And an angle formed by an incident line) and a reflection angle (an angle formed by a normal line and a reflection line of the guide surface 5) and an angle determined to be an obtuse angle. A continuous curved surface may be used, or a plurality of flat surfaces may be connected.

  On the upper inner surface of the front cover 4 shown in FIG. 4, there is provided water discharge (sprinkling) means 6 for guiding urine discharged almost horizontally to the lower front side along the guide surface 5. The water discharge means 6 is provided with a bulging edge 7 on the inner surface of the edge of the front cover 4 on the user side, and water spray holes 8 are scattered inside the bulging edge 7. The incident angle with respect to the guide surface 5 of the water discharged from the water discharge means 6 is the sum of the incident angle and the reflection angle of the discharged water and the water reflected by the guide surface 5 with respect to the guide surface. It is desirable that the angle be determined to be an obtuse angle.

  The water discharge means 6 not only suppresses reflection of urine to the user side but also contributes to cleaning of the back surface of the front cover 4. Further, the presence of the bulging edge 7 restricts the region where urine and water flow. Further, by providing the seated toilet with the sensor 9 for detecting the presence or absence of a user, it is possible to provide water discharge management means for starting water discharge by sitting and ending water discharge by standing from the toilet.

  The toilet seat 2 is provided with a notch 11 in front of the toilet seat 2 in order to avoid contact with the front cover when the seat is raised and lowered. On the other hand, the lid 3 is provided with a cover 10 in front of it to cover the front cover when the lid 3 is raised and lowered.

  It is also possible to use the water discharge means 6 as a nozzle 12 having water spray holes 8 or to use the water discharge means 6 together. A male bidet can be obtained by providing a nozzle moving means including an actuator such as a motor that changes the water discharge direction of the nozzle 12 by a predetermined operation of a jog shuttle or the like (not shown) after the stool.

  The above-mentioned seated toilet seat can prevent the released urine from coming off the toilet just by sitting down, so the elderly or users with limbs and lower back disorders bend the body, etc. Therefore, it can be widely used in various elderly / care facilities and medical institutions.
