Description

  The present invention relates to a urinal unit, and specifically to a urinal unit including a urinal and a handrail.

By combining handrails with urinals, urinals can be used easily even by persons with disabilities or the elderly. A normal handrail combined with a urinal has a form in which a pair of upper and lower side bars protrude from both sides of the urinal and a horizontal bar is connected to the left and right side bars. A user using a handrail uses a urinal with his upper body leaning against a horizontal bar.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-164093

However, in a urinal unit combining a urinal and a handrail, there is room for improvement in order to use the urinal comfortably using the handrail.
The present invention has been made based on the recognition of such a problem, and provides a urinal unit that includes a urinal and a handrail and can be used comfortably.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, a urinal attached to a wall surface, and a handrail having a horizontal portion attached to the wall surface on the left and right sides of the urinal and extending in a horizontal direction substantially parallel to the wall surface The urinal unit is characterized in that the user's line of sight toward the vertically lower side is not obstructed by the upper surface of the urinal when the user leans the upper body against the horizontal portion. The

  According to the present invention, a urinal unit that includes a urinal and a handrail and can be used comfortably is provided.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each drawing, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same component.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view illustrating a toilet room in which a urinal unit according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed.
FIG. 2 is a three-side view illustrating the urinal unit of this embodiment.

  The lining unit 100 is installed on the wall surface 900 of the toilet room illustrated in FIG. 1, and the urinal 200 and the handrail 300 are attached to the front surface (wall surface) 110 of the lining unit 100. The lining unit 100 is connected to a water supply pipe for supplying cleaning water to the urinal 200, a drain pipe 140 (see FIG. 5) for discharging waste water from the urinal 200, and an electromagnetic valve and a human body detection sensor. For this purpose, an electrical wiring, a deodorizing pipe for sucking odor, a microwave sensor 150 (see FIG. 5), and the like are appropriately accommodated. The front surface 110 of the lining unit 100 projects beyond the wall surface 900 of the toilet room in order to accommodate these elements. That is, the wall surface 900 of the toilet room is set back by the depth of the upper surface 120 of the lining unit 100 (the length in the direction of arrow A). In the present embodiment, the urinal 200 and the handrail 300 may be attached to the wall surface 900 of the toilet room without providing the lining unit 100.

  The urinal 200 of the present embodiment has a bowl surface 230 that opens obliquely upward. That is, the lower end 220 of the bowl opening of the urinal 200 is on the near side as viewed from the user (in the direction of the arrow A), while the upper end 210 of the bowl opening is rearward (in the direction opposite to the arrow A) as viewed from the user. Retreating. As a result, the depth of the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200 (the length in the direction of arrow A) is the depth of the urinal 200 (the length from the front surface 110 of the lining unit 100 to the lower end 220 of the bowl opening of the urinal 200). Remarkably small compared. As a result, as will be described in detail later, when the urinal 200 is viewed from above, almost the entire bowl surface 230 can be seen.

  In this way, when the bowl surface 230 of the urinal 200 is opened obliquely upward, the user is given a feeling of opening, and the design is good and clean. Furthermore, the feeling of pressure given to the user can be greatly reduced. That is, the user can approach the urinal 200 more easily than in the past. As a result, the urine can be reliably dropped on the bowl surface 230, and the urine is prevented from dropping on the floor surface in front of the urinal 200. In other words, the toilet room having a clean design and good appearance is used more cleanly, so that a superimposed effect of giving a comfortable feeling to the user can be obtained.

  In addition, by cleaning the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200 and opening the bowl surface 230 upward, cleaning becomes easy, and as a result, a more clean state can be maintained. That is, the clean urinal 200 with less scale and dirt can be maintained.

  Next, the handrail 300 of the present embodiment includes a pair of base portions 310 protruding forward (in the direction of arrow A) substantially perpendicularly to the front surface 110 of the lining unit 100, and upward and obliquely rearward from the tip of the base portion 310. A pair of inclined portions 320 that extend and a horizontal portion 330 that extends in a substantially horizontal direction parallel to the front surface of the lining unit 100 and connects the tips of the inclined portions 320 are provided. In this specific example, the horizontal portion 330 is provided at a position retracted from the tip of the base portion 310 (the direction opposite to the arrow A). In other words, the inclined portion 320 is inclined in a direction of retreating toward the horizontal portion 330.

  In the present embodiment, the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300 is provided at a higher position than the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200. Further, the upper surface 120 of the lining unit 100 can be provided at a position lower than the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300.

By providing the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300 at a higher position than the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200, the user's feeling of pressure using the handrail is greatly reduced. Further, when the upper surface 120 of the lining unit 100 is provided at a position lower than the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300, a feeling of opening is given to the user and the feeling of pressure is further reduced.
Furthermore, the slanted portion 320 of the handrail 300 has substantially the same slant as the left and right side portions 250 of the open end (rim line) of the bowl surface 230 of the urinal 200, so that it has a good appearance and a clean appearance. can get. That is, by surrounding the left and right sides of the urinal 200 with the inclined portion 320 that is inclined substantially parallel to the rim line of the urinal 200, a sense of security is given to the user and the user can easily approach the urinal 200.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view illustrating the usage pattern of the urinal unit of this embodiment.
The user 800 can reliably and easily approach the urinal 200 by grasping the inclined portion 320 and the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300. As will be described in detail later, when a user in a wheelchair approaches the urinal 200 and positions the wheelchair, the user can easily select the place where the most powerful part of the inclined portion 320 enters with both hands, even if the user goes to some extent rough. You can stand up.
Since the inclined portion 320 extends substantially linearly, the user can reliably and easily perform the operation of standing up from the wheelchair while alternately holding the inclined portion 320 upward with the left and right hands.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the user 800 can use the urinal 200 while holding the horizontal part 300 with one hand and leaning the upper body against the horizontal part 330 of the handrail 300 with the weight forward. . Alternatively, the user 800 can use the urinal 200 with the body weight leaning forward, the upper body leaning against the horizontal portion 330, and both hands separated from the horizontal portion 330. In this case, the user can use the urinal 200 with both free hands.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a urinal unit of a comparative example.
Also in this comparative example, the urinal 200 and the handrail 300 are attached to the front surface 110 of the lining unit 100. However, in the urinal 200 of this comparative example, the upper end 210 of the bowl opening is not retracted so much as viewed from the user, and the depth of the upper surface 240 is large. That is, when the urinal 200 is viewed from above, it is difficult to see the entire bowl surface 230.

  Further, in the handrail 300 of this comparative example, a pair of base portions 310 attached vertically to the front surface 110 of the lining unit 100 on both sides of the urinal 200 protrude forward substantially perpendicularly to the front surface 110, and the left and right base portions 310 The vertical part 340 extends substantially vertically upward from the upper bar of the first part, and the horizontal part 330 connects the tips of the vertical parts 340.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view illustrating the usage pattern of the urinal unit of this embodiment.
FIG. 6 is a schematic view illustrating the usage pattern of the urinal unit of the comparative example illustrated in FIG. 4.

First, the comparative example shown in FIG. 6 will be described.
As described above with reference to FIG. 3, the user 800 who uses the handrail 300 uses the urinal 200 with his / her body weight leaning forward and the upper body tilted slightly forward and leaned against the horizontal portion 330. However, in the case of this comparative example, when the user 800 leans his / her upper body against the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300, the user's line of sight 810 is blocked by the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200. That is, in the case of this comparative example, the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200 is not retracted so much. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, when the user 800 leans the upper body against the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300, the bowl surface 230 of the urinal 200 cannot be seen. That is, the line of sight 810 of the user 800 is blocked by the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200.

  When the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200 protrudes, it becomes difficult for the user 800 to see his / her hand in use and the bowl surface 230 of the urinal 200, which is not convenient. For this reason, the user 800 cannot put enough weight on the horizontal portion 330, and is forced to use the urinal 200 in an unstable state slightly away from the horizontal portion 330. . In addition, in order for the user 800 to see his / her hand and the bowl surface 230 of the urinal 200, instead of leaning the upper body on the horizontal portion 330, the user 800 leans against one of the base portions 310 protruding from the left and right of the urinal 200 The urinal 200 may be used in a state. In such a case, since the urinal 200 is used from an oblique direction, urine cannot be reliably dropped onto the bowl surface 230, and urine may be spilled on the floor surface of the toilet room.

  If the bowl surface 230 is not visible when the urinal 200 is used, the state of the urine is not known. Checking the color, momentum, or amount of urine is important for health management, and it should be easy to check the color and condition of urine, especially for people with physical disabilities and the elderly. Should.

  On the other hand, in the urinal unit of the comparative example, the user 800 cannot put enough weight on the horizontal portion 330, and his hand and the bowl surface with a stable posture with the upper body tilted slightly forward. It was difficult to use the urinal 200 while looking at 230.

  On the other hand, in the case of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, since the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200 is retracted, the user 800 leans the upper body against the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300. In this case, not only the user's hand but also the entire bowl surface 230 can be seen.

FIG. 7A is a schematic view of the urinal 200 of the embodiment as viewed from above, and FIG. 7B is a schematic view of the urinal 200 of the comparative example as viewed from above.
In the case of this comparative example, as shown in FIG. 7B, it can be seen that the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200 extends to the near side as viewed from the user and blocks the user's line of sight. In a state where the user 800 leans his / her upper body against the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200 extends just below the user's 800 eye. 800 is not easy to see not only the bowl surface 230 but also his hand.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7A, according to the present embodiment, the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200 is retracted in the direction of the front surface 110 of the lining unit 100, so that it can be viewed from vertically above. The bowl surface 230 is almost entirely visible. As shown in FIG. 5, even when the user 800 puts his weight on the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300 and leans his / her upper body, he / she sees almost the entire bowl surface 230 as well as his / her hand. be able to. That is, the line of sight of the user 800 is not blocked by the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200. As a result, the user 800 can surely confirm his / her hand and can open and close the trouser chuck reliably and easily.

  According to this embodiment, the user 800 can easily check the color and state of urine. In order to check the color and state of urine when using the urinal 200, it is necessary to see as wide a range as possible of the bowl surface 230. That is, in order to confirm the color and state of urine, it is necessary to see the urine falling and flowing on the bowl surface 230. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, even if the user puts his weight forward and leans his / her upper body on the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300, the color and state of urine flowing through the bowl surface 230 can be observed.

  That is, the user 800 can safely use the urinal 200 while watching the hand and the bowl surface 230 with a stable posture with the upper body tilted slightly forward by allocating weight to the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300. When the urinal 200 is used in such a posture, the user 800 can sufficiently approach the urinal 200, so that urine can be reliably dropped onto the bowl surface 230, and can be placed on the toilet floor. You can also prevent spilling urine.

  In this way, at least the upper end 210 of the bowl opening of the urinal 200 is retracted from the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300 so that the user using the handrail can see his hand and the bowl surface 230. It is desirable that That is, the distance from the front surface 110 of the lining unit 100 (or the wall surface of the toilet room to which the urinal 200 or the handrail 300 is attached) to the upper end 210 of the bowl opening of the urinal 200 is the front surface 110 of the lining unit 100 (or the urinal 200 The distance from the wall of the toilet room to which the handrail 300 is attached to the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300 is preferably smaller.

Next, a case where a user on a wheelchair uses a urinal unit will be described.
FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a user who is in a wheelchair approaching the urinal unit of the present embodiment.
FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a user in a wheelchair approaching the urinal unit of the comparative example described above with reference to FIGS. 4 and 6.

First, the comparative example shown in FIG. 9 will be described.
The handrail 300 provided in the urinal unit of this comparative example is forward (in the direction of arrow A) in a substantially horizontal direction from the front surface 110 of the lining unit 100 (or the wall surface of the toilet room to which the urinal 200 and the handrail 300 are attached). It has an extended base 310. When the user 800 on the wheelchair 850 approaches the urinal 200, the user 800 positions the wheelchair 850 while considering the position where force is applied while standing up with the tip of the base 310, and stops the wheelchair 850. And apply the brakes. And the operation | movement which stands up with the front-end | tip of the base 310 with both hands is started.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 9B, when standing up from the wheelchair 850, the user 800 needs to grab the base 310 extending in the horizontal direction and apply force. However, if the base 310 extends in the horizontal direction toward the user 800 as in this comparative example, it is difficult for the user 800 to grasp the base 310 and apply force, and the wheelchair 850 is appropriately positioned. If you do, you will not be able to stand up without the strength of your arms. That is, as shown in FIG. 9B, the upper bar of the base 310 is substantially the same height as the upper arm 830 or shoulder of the user 800 riding on the wheelchair 850. That is, when the user 800 grasps the upper bar of the base 310, the upper arm 830 becomes substantially horizontal as shown in FIG. 9B. From such a state, it is somewhat difficult to stand up with force to push the base 310 downward, and there is room for improvement in that it is difficult to apply force.

  On the other hand, it is conceivable to stand up by grasping the vertical portion 340 that rises vertically upward from the base portion 310. However, as can be seen from FIG. 9B, the user of the wheelchair 850 needs to stop at a position where the footrest 860 of the wheelchair 850 does not hit the lower part of the urinal 200, and the vertical portion 340 is far from the user 800. In position. For this reason, even if the user 800 reaches for the vertical part 340, the user 800 does not reach it. Therefore, in the case of the handrail of the comparative example, after grabbing the tip of the base portion 310 and rising, it moves forward along the base portion 310 and stands in front of the urinal 200, so that it becomes a two-action operation. .

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the present embodiment, the user 800 can grasp a place where the most force of the base portion 310 and the inclined portion 320 enters depending on the stop position of the wheelchair 850. Therefore, the wheelchair 850 can be positioned and stopped without worrying about the positional relationship with the handrail 300. In addition, the user 800 can easily stand up by re-squeezing sequentially from the lower side to the upper side of the inclined portion 320 inclined backward (in the direction opposite to the arrow A).

Further, in the present embodiment, the protrusion of the lower portion of the urinal 200 is suppressed, and the user 800 riding on the wheelchair 850 can approach the urinal 200 immediately.
FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating a state in which a user on a wheelchair has sufficiently approached the urinal unit of the present embodiment.
A user 800 riding on a wheelchair 850 usually puts a foot 820 on a footrest 860 of the wheelchair 850. In contrast, in the urinal 200 of the present embodiment, the lower protrusion is suppressed, so that the footrest 860 and the foot 820 of the user 800 on the footrest 860 can sufficiently approach the urinal 200. Yes.

FIGS. 11A and 11B are schematic plan views showing a state of approaching the urinal 200. FIG. 11A shows the case of this embodiment, and FIG. 11B shows the case of a comparative example.
In the case of the comparative example shown in FIG. 11B, the lower portion of the urinal 200 is curved forward and protrudes (in the direction of arrow A). The contour line of the urinal 200 at the height of the footrest 860 of the wheelchair 850 is represented by a broken line in FIG. Thus, the protrusion part of the lower part of the urinal 200 shown with the broken line interferes with the footrest 860 of the wheelchair 850, and the user 800 cannot approach the urinal 200 any more.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, as shown with the broken line in Fig.11 (a), the protrusion of the lower part of the urinal 200 is suppressed. As a result, the user 800 riding on the wheelchair 850 can approach the urinal 200 as close as possible. Looking at the distance L1 from the front surface 110 of the lining unit 100 to the rear end of the wheelchair 850, it can be seen that it is much smaller than the distance L2 in the comparative example. As described above, according to the present embodiment, by suppressing the protrusion of the lower part of the urinal 200, the user 800 on the wheelchair 850 can approach the urinal 200 in the immediate vicinity.

Thereafter, the user rests the foot 820 on the floor by tilting or lowering the footrest 860. When the wheelchair 850 can be approached to this position, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 12B, the hand reaches the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail and rises up with the horizontal portion 330, so It is possible to stand in Then, when standing up, since the lower end 220 of the bowl opening of the urinal 200 is in the crotch of the user 800, urine can be reliably dropped onto the bowl surface 230 without spilling on the floor surface.
In addition, by bringing the wheelchair 850 to the immediate vicinity of the urinal 200 and reducing the distance L1, the user 800 can use the urinal 200 without worrying about the space behind. That is, if the wheelchair 850 cannot be brought too close to the urinal 200, the distance L2 becomes longer as shown in FIG. Then, for example, it becomes an obstacle when another user or the like passes behind the wheelchair 850. The user 800 using the wheelchair 850 cannot use the urinal 200 with peace of mind when he / she feels that he / she is disturbing the surroundings.

  On the other hand, according to this embodiment, since the wheelchair 850 can be brought close to the urinal 200, the space behind the wheelchair 850 is also widened, and the user 800 is small without worrying about the surroundings. The toilet bowl 200 can be used.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram for explaining an operation in which a user stands up from a wheelchair in the urinal unit of the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 12A, the user 800 approaching to the nearest position of the urinal 200 grasps the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300 with one hand or both hands as shown in FIG. It is possible to stand up easily by lowering the foot 820. In addition, when the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300 is slightly high, the user can easily stand up by grabbing the upper portion of the inclined portion 320. Since the handrail 300 according to the present embodiment includes the inclined portion 320 that is inclined rearward (in the direction opposite to the arrow A), the user 800 can freely select a portion of the inclined portion 320 where the most force is applied. You can grab by choosing.

  Further, when standing up in this manner, the user 800 can apply his / her arm 840 and elbow 835 to the inclined portion 820. In this way, it becomes easier to apply power, and you can stand up more easily.

  At this time, since the foot 820 of the user 800 is in the immediate vicinity of the urinal 200, the user 800 can easily relax by pulling the handrail 300 in a stable state where the weight is applied to the foot 820 without being inclined forward. You can stand up. The urinal 200 can be used without changing the foot 820 as it is. That is, according to the present embodiment, a series of operations of pulling the wheelchair 850 to the immediate vicinity of the urinal 200, standing up thereafter, and using the urinal 200 can be performed smoothly and easily. In particular, after pulling the wheelchair 850 to the immediate vicinity of the urinal 200, the operation of standing up and the operation of using the urinal 200 can be continuously performed in one step.

  By the way, when the upper surface of the urinal 200 is retracted, it becomes difficult to incorporate a conventional infrared sensor in the upper part of the urinal 200. On the other hand, in the specific example shown in FIG. 5, the microwave sensor 150 is provided in the lining unit 100 on the back side of the urinal 200. The microwave sensor 150 radiates microwaves and can detect the approach of the user 800, urine flow, and the like based on the Doppler component included in the reflected waves. Further, since the microwaves pass through the pottery, they can be arranged behind the urinal 200 as shown in FIG. In this way, in the urinal 200 in which the upper surface 240 of the urinal 200 is remarkably retracted and the bowl surface is opened obliquely upward, it is possible to detect the human body and urine flow and to automatically flow the washing water.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user who uses the handrail 300 uses the urinal 200 in a stable state with a weight applied to the horizontal portion 330 of the handrail 300 without feeling a sense of pressure. can do. Also, when using a wheelchair, the operation of getting up and using the urinal can be performed smoothly and easily in one step by bringing the wheelchair close to the urinal. Furthermore, in this state, it is possible to provide a urinal unit that can surely see the user's hand and the bowl surface, is easy to use, and can also perform health care by checking the color and state of urine.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these specific examples.
As for the above-described specific examples, those skilled in the art appropriately modified the design are included in the scope of the present invention as long as they have the characteristics of the present invention. For example, the shape, structure, dimensions, number, material, arrangement, and the like of the lining unit, urinal, and handrail are not limited to those illustrated, but can be changed as appropriate.
Moreover, each element with which each Example mentioned above is provided can be combined as much as possible, and what combined these is also included in the scope of the present invention as long as the characteristics of the present invention are included.
