Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a Western-style flush toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a Western-style flushing toilet equipped with a ceramic Western-style toilet body and a functional device provided at a rear portion of the Western-style toilet body.

[0003] For example, a shower toilet known as a functional device includes a base plate attached to a Western-style toilet bowl main body, components constituting a local cleaning mechanism fixed on the base plate, a main body cover for housing each component together with a space, and It comprises a heating toilet seat that is swingably provided on the main body cover, and a toilet lid that is swingably provided on the main body cover. Such a shower toilet can provide the Western-style toilet body with a function of being able to wash a local portion of a seated person via a heated toilet seat by the cooperative action of the components.

Further, recent shower toilets are provided so as to be able to ascend so as to expose at least the rear side of the bowl surface of the Western-style toilet body. In such a shower toilet, when it is raised, at least the rear side of the bowl surface of the Western-style toilet body is exposed, so that dirt there can be easily cleaned by washing with water or the like.

[0005]

However, in the Western-style flush toilet provided with the functional device which can be lifted as described above, parts or spaces are exposed when the functional device is raised. When cleaning the back of the bowl surface of the Western style toilet bowl with the parts and space exposed, water and the like come into contact with the parts and impair the performance of the parts, and fingers and cleaning tools are caught in the space and impede the cleanability. It's easy to do. In particular, when the component is an electrical component, there is a risk of causing a short circuit or the like.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and has a Western-style flushing system capable of reliably improving the cleanability of a Western-style toilet body without deteriorating the performance of components constituting a functional device. Providing a toilet bowl is an issue to be solved.

[0007]

The Western-style flush toilet of the present invention can provide various functions to the Western-style toilet body and the Western-style toilet body provided at the rear of the Western-style toilet body and fixed on the base plate. A functional device in which various functional parts are housed in a main body cover together with a space, and the functional device is provided so as to be able to ascend so as to expose at least the rear side of the bowl surface of the Western style toilet body, wherein the functional device is lifted. A concealing member for concealing the part or the space, which may sometimes be exposed, is provided.

In the Western-style flushing toilet of the present invention, the concealing member conceals a part or space that may be exposed when the functional device is lifted, so that the rear of the bowl surface of the Western-style toilet body can be cleaned in this state. For this reason, the performance of the component is not impaired by water or the like coming into contact with the component, and the cleanability is not hindered by fingers or cleaning tools being caught in the space. In particular, since water or the like does not come into contact with the electric components, there is no danger of short-circuiting or the like.

Therefore, in the Western-style flushing toilet of the present invention, the performance of the components constituting the functional device is not impaired,
And the cleanability of the Western-style toilet body can be reliably improved.

[0010] The concealing member only needs to be able to conceal a part or a space at least one of the front and the side. This is because cleaning of the Western style toilet body is generally performed from at least one of the front side and the side.

It is more preferable that the concealing member is capable of concealing a part or a space all around. This is because the function and effect of the present invention can be obtained even if the cleaning of the Western style toilet body is performed from any direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the western-style flush toilet of the embodiment is a ceramic Western-style toilet body 1.
And a shower toilet 2 as a functional device provided at the rear of the Western-style toilet body 1.

The shower toilet 2 is, as shown in FIG.
A front base plate 3a, a first component group 3b such as a nozzle constituting a local cleaning mechanism fixed on the front base plate 3a, and a first component group 3b
c, and a heating toilet seat 3 swingably provided on the main body cover 3d as shown in FIG.
e, a toilet lid 3f swingably provided on the main body cover 3d
And

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the shower toilet 2 has a rear base plate 4a and a second component group 4b fixed on the rear base plate 4a. The second component group 4b includes a hot water tank that forms the rest of the local cleaning mechanism, a valve that forms the toilet cleaning mechanism, and a rack and pinion mechanism that raises and lowers the front base plate 3a with respect to the rear base plate 4a. .

A concealing member 5 is provided upright on the entire periphery of the rear base plate 4a in the horizontal direction. The concealing member 5 surrounds the second component group 4b together with the space 4c.
The lower end is fixed to the rear base plate 4a in a watertight state. In the rear base plate 4a having the second component group 4b and the concealing member 5, bolts (not shown) are inserted through a pair of bolt mounting holes 4d, and these bolts are inserted into toilet seat mounting holes (not shown) provided through the Western-style toilet body 1. It is fixed by being inserted and fastening a nut (not shown).
As shown in FIG. 4, the front base plate 3a, together with the first component group 3b, the main body cover 3d, the heating toilet seat 3e and the toilet lid 3f, can be vertically moved up and down with respect to the rear base plate 4a by the lifting mechanism of the second component group 4b. It has become. As shown in FIG. 1, when the front base plate 3a and the like are lowered, the second component group 4b is housed by the main body cover 3d together with the space 4c.

In such a Western-style flush toilet provided with the shower toilet 2, the local cleaning mechanism of the shower toilet 2
It is possible to wash a local part of a person sitting through the heating toilet seat 3e. In addition, this Western-style flush toilet has a shower toilet 2
The Western-style toilet body 1 can be washed by the toilet flushing mechanism.

Further, in this Western-style flushing toilet, as shown in FIG. 4, the front base plate 3a of the shower toilet 2 and the like can be moved up and down by an elevating mechanism, whereby the rear of the bowl surface of the Western-style toilet body 1 is exposed. It is supposed to. For this reason, dirt behind the bowl surface of the Western-style toilet body 1 can be easily cleaned by washing with water or the like. At this time, the concealing member 5 conceals the second component group 4b and the space 4c, which may be exposed when the front base plate 3a and the like are lifted, over the entire circumference.
Can be cleaned behind the pot surface. Therefore, water and the like do not come into contact with the second component group 4b to impair the performance of the second component group 4b, and the fingers and the cleaning tool do not intervene in the space 4c and hinder the cleaning performance. In particular, since water or the like does not come into contact with the electric components of the second component group 4b, there is no danger of a short circuit or the like.
