DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a toilet flushing operation unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a cabinet-type toilet flushing device in which a water storage tank unit for supplying water to a toilet is concealed by a panel is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-21748. On the other hand, an electric cleaning unit in which a manual operation lever is replaced has been put to practical use in a normal toilet cleaning device in which a water storage tank unit is not hidden by a panel.

[0003]

An electric cleaning unit which replaces a manual operation lever which is commercialized for a normal toilet cleaning device which does not cover a water storage tank unit with a panel is attached to the above-mentioned cabinet type toilet. In this case, the electric cleaning unit is fixed using the same fixing method as the manual operation lever fixed to the panel, that is, fixed to the fixing opening formed in the panel.

[0004] The panel has an opening having an area in which the fixing portion of the manual operation lever portion can be just accommodated. Therefore, in the case of an electric cleaning unit that requires a power cord or a signal cord or both, the arrangement is made outside, so that the presence of the cord on the outer surface of the panel impairs the design of the external appearance, not to mention the obstruction of cleaning of the outer surface of the panel. There was a problem of becoming.

[0005] In addition, when the cabinet of the cabinet urinal has a storage section, there is a drawback that when the storage section is provided with the storage section, the storage section is taken in and out. there were.

Further, there is a problem that the cords are easily caught on the outer panel because the cords are exposed on the outer panel, and the power cord or the signal cord is easily disconnected, resulting in malfunction.

In addition, when the electric cleaning unit is to be retrofitted, it cannot be easily mounted unless the opening of the panel for the manually operated lever is used.

According to the present invention, when the manual lever of the toilet flushing device is electrified, the power cord and / or the signal cord, which are the above-mentioned problems, are externally provided without deteriorating the design, and the cord is provided on the outer surface. By exposing, without impairing the cleaning performance, without impairing the operability when there is a storage part, and because the cords appear on the outer panel, it is easy to catch on the cords, and the power cord or signal cord comes off It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting structure of a toilet flushing operation unit having a power cord or a signal cord, which does not easily cause a malfunction due to being damaged.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mounting structure for mounting a toilet flush operation unit for operating a drain valve of a water storage tank unit for supplying water to a toilet. An operating unit fixing opening for fixing the operating unit; and a cord opening through which a power cord and / or a signal cord of the operating unit passes, wherein the cord opening is provided with the operating unit attached. The unit is concealed by the operation unit. With such a configuration, the power cord or the signal cord is not exposed to the outer surface, and the cleanability is improved without deteriorating the design.

Further, in the mounting structure according to the third aspect, the mounting member is a panel formed by a cabinet, and the water storage tank unit is concealed in the cabinet. With such a configuration, a cabinet-type toilet bowl cleaning device with a clean appearance can be configured.

Further, in the mounting structure according to the second aspect, in the mounting structure according to the first or second aspect, the cord opening is formed to be continuous with the operation unit fixing opening. With such a configuration, when the operation unit is attached to the attachment member with the power cord and / or the signal cord connected to the operation unit main body, the cord fits into the cord opening, and the workability is improved. Is improved.
