JP 2002-81117 A

  However, since the above-mentioned conventional Western-style toilet bowl body is provided in a substantially horizontal direction with respect to the side wall after the opening rises substantially vertically, the opening is easy to see, and the toilet cleaning device in the storage space is visually observed through the opening. Is possible. Moreover, since the water conduit protrudes from the opening in a substantially horizontal direction, it is easily noticeable. For this reason, the appearance of a Western-style flush toilet is impaired.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said conventional situation, Comprising: It makes it the problem which should be solved to improve the appearance of a Western-style flush toilet.

The western-style toilet body of the present invention has an outer peripheral wall placed on the floor, a toilet bowl formed in the outer peripheral wall, and is formed behind the toilet bowl in the outer peripheral wall and houses a functional device. A Western-style toilet body having a storage space, the outer peripheral wall having a rear wall that partitions the storage space;
The rear wall includes a lower vertical wall that rises substantially vertically from the floor surface, a horizontal wall that extends substantially horizontally outward from the upper end of the lower vertical wall, and an upper vertical wall that rises substantially vertically from the outer end of the horizontal wall. ,
An opening is provided through the upper end of the lower standing wall, the horizontal wall, and the lower end of the upper standing wall so as to communicate the storage space to the outside.

  In the Western-style toilet body of the present invention having such a configuration, the opening is not conspicuous. Moreover, even if the opening is large, the projected area in the substantially horizontal direction of the opening is small. Therefore, in the Western-style flush toilet using the Western-style toilet body, it is difficult to visually check the functional device in the storage space from the opening.

  Therefore, according to the western style toilet bowl body of the present invention, a good-looking western style flush toilet bowl can be obtained.

  In the western style toilet body of the present invention, it is preferable that the lower standing wall is inclined outwardly downward. In this case, the Western-style toilet body can be stably placed on the floor surface. In addition, since the lower space of the storage space is widened, various connection members that form a drainage channel communicating with the toilet bowl can be satisfactorily stored in this lower space.

  Moreover, in the western-style toilet body of this invention, it is preferable that an upper standing wall inclines outward toward upper direction. In this case, since the upper space of the storage space is widened, the functional device can be stored well in this upper space.

  Moreover, in the western-style toilet body of this invention, it is preferable that a lower vertical wall inclines outward toward the downward direction, and an upper vertical wall inclines outward toward the upward direction. In this case, the Western-style toilet body can be stably placed on the floor, and various connecting members and the like are not conspicuous from the upper side of the Western-style toilet body.

  The Western-style flush toilet of the present invention includes this Western-style toilet body and a functional device, and the functional device has a water supply pipe that is located above the opening and to which a water conduit inserted through the opening is connected from below. It is preferable.

  In this case, since the water conduit is inserted into the opening from below, it is difficult to see the portion where the water conduit is inserted into the opening, and the appearance of the Western style flush toilet is excellent. Further, the water guide pipe can be inserted into the interior of the Western-style toilet body from the lower outside of the Western-style toilet body to the upper side with respect to the opening. For this reason, since the water conduit can be connected to the water supply tube without being bent greatly, there is little loss of the water pressure of the cleaning water supplied to the functional device, and the cleaning water can be vigorously supplied to the toilet bowl. it can.

  Further, when the Western-style toilet body is arranged on the floor, the rear wall of the Western-style toilet body can be arranged closer to the inner wall surface of the room where the Western-style toilet body is installed, as compared with the conventional Western-style toilet body. That is, in the conventional Western-style toilet body, the water guide pipe inserted through the opening and extending in the horizontal direction must be bent so as to extend vertically downward outside the western-style toilet body. When the conduit is a flexible hose, the flexible hose is not bent at a right angle but must be bent gradually. For this reason, the gap between the rear wall of the western-style toilet body and the inner wall surface of the room where the western-style toilet body is installed requires a space for gradually bending the flexible hose from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction. On the other hand, in the western style flush toilet of the present invention, the water conduit is inserted into the opening in an oblique direction, and therefore, it is only necessary to bend the water conduit slightly. For this reason, even when the water conduit is a flexible hose, it does not require an extra space for bending the flexible hose, and the gap between the lower vertical wall of the rear wall and the inner wall surface of the room where the Western-style toilet body is installed can be narrowed. it can. Further, since the upper vertical wall of the rear wall rises outward from the lower vertical wall, the gap between the upper vertical wall and the inner wall surface of the room where the Western-style toilet body is installed can be made narrower. In this way, the Western-style toilet body can be placed on the floor surface with its rear wall close to the inner wall surface of the room in which the Western-style toilet body is installed, so that the room in which the Western-style toilet body is installed can be used effectively. it can.

  In addition, in order to prevent the water conduit from being bent in the conventional Western-style toilet body, it is conceivable that the opening is enlarged in the vertical direction, and the water conduit is inserted obliquely into this opening. The appearance of the used Western-style flush toilet will be damaged. On the other hand, in the Western-style flush toilet of the present invention, the projected area in the substantially horizontal direction of the opening is small, so that the appearance can be improved.

  Furthermore, in order not to bend the water guide pipe, it is considered that an opening is provided only in the horizontal wall formed between the lower and upper standing walls, and the water guide pipe is vertically inserted into the opening. It is done. In this case, since the water guide pipe is inserted, the horizontal wall becomes large in the front-rear direction of the Western-style toilet body. For this reason, even if it arrange | positions a western style toilet bowl body on a floor surface by making an upper standing wall close to the inner wall surface of the room in which a western style toilet body is installed, the space | interval of a lower standing wall and an inner wall surface becomes wide. On the other hand, since the space between the lower vertical wall of the Western-style flush toilet of the present invention and the inner wall surface of the room where the Western-style toilet body is installed can be narrowed, the lower space of the Western-style toilet body can be used effectively. .

  Embodiments of a Western-style toilet body and a Western-style flush toilet using the same will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the Western-style flush toilet includes a Western-style toilet body 1, and a washing water supply device 30 and an intake device 40 that are functional devices. Illustration of the toilet seat and toilet lid is omitted.

  The Western-style toilet body 1 includes an outer peripheral wall 1W placed on the floor surface F and a toilet bowl 2 formed in the outer peripheral wall 1W. The Western-style toilet body 1 includes a storage space 1S formed behind the toilet bowl 2 in the outer peripheral wall 1W.

  The outer peripheral wall 1W has a rear wall 10 that partitions the storage space 1S. The rear wall 10 includes left and right side walls 11 and a rear side wall 12 of the storage space 1S. As shown in FIG. 3, the rear side wall 12 includes a lower standing wall 12d that rises substantially vertically from the floor surface F, a horizontal wall 12h that extends substantially horizontally outward from the upper end of the lower standing wall 12d, and an outer end of the horizontal wall 12h. The upper standing wall 12u rises substantially vertically. The lower vertical wall 12d is inclined outwardly downward. The upper standing wall 12u is inclined outwardly upward.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, an opening 20 is provided through the upper end of the lower standing wall 12 d, the horizontal wall 12 h, and the upper standing wall 12 u so as to communicate the storage space 1 </ b> S to the outside. As shown in FIG. 3, when the opening 20 is viewed from behind the western-style toilet body 1, the vertical dimension of the opening 20 when viewed from the horizontal direction is larger than the maximum dimension L in the vertical direction of the opening 20 when viewed from below. The direction dimension M is smaller. Furthermore, the dimension S in the vertical direction of the opening 20 when viewed from above is smaller than the dimension M. For this reason, since the user who uses this Western-style flush toilet bowl visually checks the opening 20 from above, the opening 20 is recognized to be small. Moreover, it is difficult to see the inside of the storage space 1S from the opening 20.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a stop cock 60 is connected to the water pipe drawn from the floor surface F. A flexible hose 50, which is a conduit pipe connected to the water stop cock 60, is inserted into the opening 20 from below the outside of the rear side wall 12. At this time, the flexible hose 50 is inserted from the direction in which the opening 20 opens most, and the flexible hose 50 can be easily inserted into the opening 20.

  The cleaning water supply device 30 includes a water supply tube 32, a functional unit 31 connected to the downstream side of the water supply tube 32, having an on-off valve and the like, and a tank 33 connected to the downstream side of the functional unit 31. . Since the water supply cylinder 32 and the functional unit 31 are located above the opening 20, the flexible hose 50 inserted through the opening 20 is connected to the water supply cylinder 32 from below without being largely bent. For this reason, when arranging the Western-style toilet body 1 on the floor F, an extra space for bending the flexible hose 50 is not required, so the rear side wall 12 is the inner wall surface of the room in which the Western-style toilet body 1 is installed (not shown) ). For this reason, the room in which the Western-style toilet body 1 is installed can be used effectively. Moreover, since the space | interval of the lower standing wall 12d and an inner wall surface can be narrowed, the downward space of the western-style toilet body 1 can be utilized effectively.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the washing water supply device 30 communicates with the rim 3 and supplies washing water to the toilet bowl 2. For this reason, since the washing water supplied to the washing water supply apparatus 30 has little loss of water pressure, the washing water can be vigorously supplied to the toilet bowl 2. The functional unit 31 is disposed above the storage space 1S, and the tank 33 is stored in the storage space 1S.

  The intake device 40 communicates with the downstream side of the water seal 4 and is connected to a connection pipe 6 that forms a toilet drainage channel 5 and is connected to the suction tank 41 via an on-off valve 43. And a negative pressure generator 42 that generates a negative pressure by a pump. When toilet flushing is performed, the air intake device 40 opens and closes the on-off valve 43 at an appropriate timing, and sucks air from the toilet drainage channel 5. Thereby, the inside of the toilet drainage channel 5 can be filled with washing water at an early stage to generate a siphon action. The intake device 40 is stored in the upper space of the storage space 1S. Since the upper space of the storage space 1S is widely formed by the upper standing wall 12u that is inclined outwardly upward, the intake device 40 can be stored well.

  The downstream portion of the connecting pipe 5 is inserted into the upper opening of the drain connecting pipe 8 communicated with the floor drain pipe 9 raised from the floor surface F. The drainage connection pipe 8 is formed in a shape in which a scoop is wound, and has a staying portion 8 in which washing water stays in the middle and blocks the upstream side and the downstream side. The drainage connection pipe 8 is stored in the lower space of the storage unit 1S. Since the lower space of the storage portion 1S is widely formed by the lower vertical wall 12d that is inclined outwardly downward, the drainage connection pipe 8 can be stored well.

  In the Western-style flush toilet body 1 described above, the projected area of the opening 20 in the substantially horizontal direction is reduced. For this reason, in the Western style flush toilet bowl using the Western style flush toilet body 1, it is difficult to visually check the flush water supply device 30 and the like in the storage space 1 </ b> S from the opening 20.

  Therefore, according to the Western-style flush toilet body 1 of the embodiment, a good-looking Western-style flush toilet bowl can be obtained.

  While the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be appropriately modified and applied without departing from the spirit thereof.

For example, the left and right side walls 11 can be formed by a lower vertical wall, a horizontal wall, and an upper vertical wall, and an opening can be formed across the upper end of the lower vertical wall, the horizontal wall, and the upper vertical wall.
Moreover, it is also possible to employ a deodorizing device or a room heating device as a functional device, and use the opening formed in the left and right side walls 11 or the rear side wall 12 as an exhaust port of the deodorizing device or a hot air outlet of the room heating device. .
Further, the opening can be used as an insertion port for the power cord of the functional device.
Moreover, it is possible to employ an ejector that generates a negative pressure by supplying cleaning water as the negative pressure generator 40.

  The present invention can be used for a Western style flush toilet.
