Definitions

  • the present invention relates to flush toilets, and more specifically, it relates to a wash-down flush toilet that cleans a bowl body and discharges waste using wash water supplied from a wash-water supply source.
  • wash water held in a water tank is ejected in the horizontal direction from a rim outlet to form a swirl flow for facilitating cleaning.
  • water tanks installed on a wall distant from a toilet bowl are known. Such water tanks are classified into three types depending on the height at which the water tanks are installed: a low-position type, an intermediate-position type, and a high-position type. An appropriate type of water tank is selected from these types in accordance with the installation site and connected to the toilet bowl. Since these three types of water tanks are installed at different heights, the distance of elevation between each water tank and the toilet bowl differs between the water tanks and thus the flow rate at which the water tank supplies water to the toilet bowl also differs between the water tanks.
  • wash water that whirls around a rim portion having an inner circumferential surface shaped so as to overhang or extend substantially vertically would flow over the rim portion out of the bowl body.
  • wash water that whirls around the rim portion is more likely to overflow at areas of the rim portion having small radii of curvature, which are front and rear areas, and at a transition area from the front to a side.
  • the design of a water conduit of the bowl body may be changed so as to increase the pressure loss and reduce the flow rate at which water is supplied. In this case, the wash water can be prevented from overflowing from the rim portion of the bowl body to which the high-position water tank is connected. If, on the other hand, a low-position water tank, which supplies water at a low flow rate, is connected to the bowl body, the flow rate of wash water that whirls around the rim portion would be insufficient to fully clean the bowl portion of the bowl body.
  • the present invention is made to solve the above-described existing problems and aims to provide a flush toilet that can supply wash water to a bowl portion of a bowl body at a flow rate appropriate for cleaning the bowl body regardless of whichever water tank that supplies water at any of different flow rates is connected to the bowl body.
  • the present invention provides a flush toilet that cleans the toilet and discharges waste.
  • the flush toilet includes a water tank that holds wash water and a bowl body.
  • the bowl body includes a bowl portion, a drain, a rim water-ejecting portion, and a water conduit.
  • the bowl portion includes a bowl-shaped waste receiving surface and a rim portion formed at an upper edge of the waste receiving surface and having an inner circumferential surface shaped so as to overhang or extend substantially vertically.
  • the drain has an inlet connected to a lower portion of the bowl portion and allows waste to be discharged therethrough.
  • the rim water-ejecting portion is formed in the inner circumferential surface of the rim portion and forms a swirl flow by ejecting wash water.
  • the water conduit guides the wash water held in the water tank to the rim water-ejecting portion.
  • a throttle member is attached to the water conduit.
  • the throttle member is capable of adjusting a cross-sectional area of a water-flow passage of the water conduit so that the cross-sectional area decreases as the wash water is supplied from the water tank at a higher flow rate.
  • the throttle member is attached to the water conduit, and the throttle member can adjust the cross-sectional area of the water-flow passage of the water conduit so as to reduce the cross-sectional area of the water-flow passage of the water conduit as the flow rate of wash water supplied from the water tank increases.
  • the flush toilet can supply wash water to the bowl portion at a flow rate appropriate for cleaning the bowl portion regardless of whichever water tank that supplies water at any of different flow rates is connected to the bowl body.
  • the wash water that whirls around the rim portion can be prevented from flowing over the rim portion out of the bowl body.
  • this structure can prevent the wash water from failing to fully clean the inside of the bowl portion due to an insufficient force of the wash water whirling around the rim portion caused by an insufficient flow rate of wash water ejected from the rim outlet.
  • the bowl body includes a jet ejection portion that ejects the wash water from a jet outlet of the jet ejection portion that is open at a side portion of the waste receiving surface of the bowl portion, and the water conduit is split so as to extend to the jet ejection portion of the bowl body.
  • the water conduit has a small-diameter portion at an upstream-side portion of the water conduit.
  • the small-diameter portion has a water-flow passage having a cross-sectional area smaller than the sum of a cross-sectional area of the jet outlet of the jet ejection portion and a cross-sectional area of an outlet of the rim water-ejecting portion.
  • the throttle member is removably attached to the small-diameter portion, and the cross-sectional area of the water-flow passage of the small-diameter portion is changeable by replacing the throttle member with another throttle member.

  • the cross-sectional area of the water-flow passage of the small-diameter portion can be changed by replacing the throttle member with another throttle member.
  • the throttle member can adjust the maximum pressure loss received by the wash water passing through the water conduit, whereby the wash water can be supplied to the bowl portion at a flow rate appropriate for cleaning the bowl portion regardless of whichever water tank that supplies water at any of different flow rates is connected to the bowl body.
  • the water conduit has a small-diameter portion at an upstream-side portion of the water conduit, and the small-diameter portion has a water-flow passage having a cross-sectional area smaller than the sum of cross-sectional areas of outlets of the rim water-ejecting portion.

  • the throttle member forms a passage extending a predetermined length in a direction in which wash water flows, and the throttle member tapers so that a cross-sectional area of a water-flow passage of the throttle member gradually decreases from an upstream end to a downstream end.
  • the throttle member tapers so that its cross-sectional area of the water-flow passage gradually decreases from the upstream end to the downstream end, whereby wash water passing through the throttle member can be prevented from forming turbulence and the throttle member facilitates an adjustment of the maximum pressure loss that the wash water receives.
  • the throttle member since the throttle member has a water-flow passage having a smallest cross-sectional area at the downstream end, the throttle member can adjust the maximum pressure loss received by the wash water passing through the downstream end.
  • wash water can be supplied to the bowl portion at a flow rate appropriate for cleaning the bowl portion regardless of whichever water tank that supplies water at any of different flow rates is connected to the bowl body.
