DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning water supply device. This cleaning water supply device is suitable for use in a toilet pipe.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional cleaning water supply apparatus, there is known a cleaning water supply apparatus having a water stopcock capable of stopping water for cleaning and a connection pipe connected to the water stopcock. This cleaning water supply device
In the toilet room, a water supply pipe capable of supplying washing water from the outside and a low tank capable of storing the washing water and washing the flush toilet are connected. At this time, since the water supply pipe is provided on the floor surface of the toilet room or a wall surface close to the floor surface, the water stopcock is located on the floor surface or the wall surface close to the floor surface and is connected to the water supply pipe. Is normal. One end of the connection pipe is connected to the stopcock, and the other end is connected to the low tank.

In a toilet room using this cleaning water supply device, cleaning water is supplied from outside to a water supply pipe, and the cleaning water is stored in a low tank via a cleaning water supply device having a water stopcock and a connection pipe. Becomes The washing water stored in the low tank is used for washing the flush toilet. In addition, when replacing the raw tank or the like due to failure or aging, the water is stopped by a water stopcock, and these operations are performed.

[0004]

However, in the conventional cleaning water supply device, since the water stopcock is located on the floor surface in the toilet room or on the wall surface close to the floor surface, the water stopcock is inconspicuous and erroneous. There is a possibility that the operation may be performed, and when the water stopcock is operated, an unreasonable posture is required, and the operability is lacking.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and has as an object to solve the problem of providing a cleaning water supply device which is difficult to perform an erroneous operation and has excellent operability.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a cleaning water supply apparatus comprising: a water stopcock capable of stopping water for cleaning; and a connection pipe connected to the water stopcock. A flush water supply device for connecting a water supply pipe capable of supplying water and a low tank capable of storing the flush water and flushing a flush toilet.

The water stopcock is located above the raw tank, and the connection pipe has one end connected to the water supply pipe and the other end connected to the water stopcock.

In the cleaning water supply device of the present invention, since the water stopcock is located above the raw tank, the water stopcock is more conspicuous than in the conventional case. For this reason, the stopcock can be operated accurately.

In addition, since the water stopcock is located at the upper part of the low tank in this way, the worker can reach out to the height of the water stopcock and reach the position of the worker, so that the worker can work without being forced into an unreasonable posture. Can be performed. That is,
The upper part of the low tank is usually located at approximately the waist level of the worker. For this reason, when trying to stop the wash water with a stopcock, if there is a stopcock at the top of the low tank,
The worker does not need to bend down to perform the work. Further, the operator does not need to maintain a low posture during the time required for the replacement work of the low tank and the like. Therefore, the operability is excellent.

Therefore, the cleaning water supply device of the present invention
It is difficult to perform erroneous operations and has excellent operability.

[0011] In the cleaning water supply device of the present invention, it is preferable that the operation unit for stopping water of the water stopcock can be operated from above. This is because if the operation part of the water stopcock can be operated from above, the operator is most likely to work.

As the operation section, an operation section that opens and closes a spindle or the like as a valve can be employed. In this case, when a tool such as a screwdriver or a wrench is used to open and close the valve, a fitting such as a groove or a hexagonal concave portion into which a fitting portion of such a tool can be fitted at the end of the valve. A part can be formed.

In order to rotate the valve, it is preferable to provide a handle which can be gripped by a person without using a tool as described above. If the operation unit is such a handle, the valve such as the spindle can be rotated without preparing a tool, so that the water stopcock can be easily stopped. More preferably, the handle is removable from the stopcock body. This is because if the operator can open and close the valve only when the handle is attached to the water stopcock main body, it is possible to avoid operating the water stopcock by mistake. Thus, the handle removed from the stopcock body,
It is preferably moored with the stopcock body. Thereby, the handle detached from the water stopcock main body can be hardly lost.

In the cleaning water supply device of the present invention, if the water stopcock is located on the side of the raw tank, the water stopcock can be provided within the thickness range of the raw tank. For this reason, it can prevent that the depth in a toilet room is narrowed.

Here, the water stopcock is preferably connected to the low tank without passing through another connection pipe. With such a configuration, it is not necessary to provide another connection pipe from the water stopcock to the low tank, so that it is possible to reduce the number of components constituting the cleaning water supply device and promote cost reduction. . At this time, the water stopcock may be outside or inside the low tank. If the water stopcock is outside the raw tank, water can be stopped by the water stopcock without opening the lid of the raw tank. On the other hand, if the water stopcock is inside the low tank, when water droplets are generated around the water stopcock due to dew condensation, the waterdrops can be prevented from leaking out of the low tank.

In the cleaning water supply device of the present invention, when the low tank has a built-in ball tap, it is preferable that the water stopcock is directly connected to the ball tap. If the stopcock is not directly connected to the ball tap, such as if the stopcock is directly connected to the outer wall of the low tank, the washing water is likely to leak from the outer wall of the low tank while the stopcock is directly connected to the ball tap. This is because such a situation can be prevented. In addition, with such a configuration, since a component for connecting the water stopcock and the ball tap is not required, cost reduction can be promoted by reducing the number of components.

In the cleaning water supply device of the present invention, the connecting pipe is preferably a flexible pipe. In this case, since the flexible pipe has flexibility, the water stopcock and the water supply pipe can be easily connected. And it is easy to be bent and stored in the limited space in the cabinet. Also,
The load due to the bending force hardly acts on the connecting pipe, and the load on the connecting pipe acting on the water supply pipe is reduced. For this reason, the connection pipe exhibits excellent durability.

The cleaning water supply device of the present invention exhibits the above-mentioned effects most when at least one of the connecting pipe, the water stopcock and the low tank is housed in the cabinet. In particular, when the connection pipe, water stopcock and low tank are housed in the cabinet, when replacing the low tank etc. due to failure or aging, open the cabinet and operate the water stopcock to stop the washing water. Therefore, for example, erroneous operation when a child uses the toilet room can be prevented.
