Description

本発明は水洗便器に関し、特に水洗小便器もしくは水洗大便器のボール部周壁の上端面の尿滴を排水系に導く機能を有する水洗便器に関する。   The present invention relates to a flush toilet, and more particularly to a flush toilet having a function of guiding urine droplets on the upper end surface of a ball portion peripheral wall of a flush toilet or flush toilet to a drainage system.

従来の水洗便器は、小便器においては上方に開口するボール部とその後方部分から直立する排尿受面部との内面を、大便器においてはボール部の内面を、それぞれ水で洗浄する機能を有しており、これに関わる発明と考案は下記のように多数提案されているが、排尿時に飛散する尿滴による汚染の対象となるボール部周壁の上端面を洗浄する機能は持たないのが通常である。   The conventional flush toilet has a function of flushing the inner surface of the ball portion opening upward in the urinal and the inner surface of the urine receiving surface portion standing upright from the rear portion thereof, and the inner surface of the ball portion in the toilet bowl with water. A number of inventions and devices related to this have been proposed as follows, but usually they do not have the function of cleaning the upper surface of the peripheral wall of the ball that is subject to contamination by urine droplets that scatter during urination. is there.

便器の側部、および足元の床面に飛散した排尿の水洗手段として、主便器と正面下辺部に連結される足元受皿および洗浄水配管からなり、主便器の両側開口端辺部に、それぞれの下端部で主便器内部へ導く流水用樋を形成、足元受皿は排水孔が主便器の排水路へ連結されるとともに上面に格子状踏板が載せられ、洗浄水配管が主便器の内面上部、主便器の流水用樋上部および足元受皿の内周部へ給水可能に構成された男性用便器が提案されている。(特許文献1参照)   As a means of flushing urine scattered on the side of the toilet bowl and the floor of the foot, it consists of a foot tray and washing water pipes connected to the main toilet and the lower front side of the main toilet. At the lower end, a water basin is formed that leads to the inside of the main toilet. The foot tray has a drain hole connected to the drain of the main toilet and a grid-like tread on the upper surface. There has been proposed a male toilet that is configured to be able to supply water to the upper part of the toilet bowl and the inner periphery of the foot tray. (See Patent Document 1)

小便器本体外に落下した尿を効率良く洗浄できる小便器として、ストール型水洗小便器のコンクリート構造体への設置の際に、排水管とトラップを有する椀状体を先ず設置し、椀状体の縁内に配した環状パッキングを介して小便器本体のボール部を椀状体内部に間隙を設けて設置して二重構造とし、前記小便器本体内を洗浄する洗浄水を制御する第1制御手段を設けるとともに前記椀状体の内側及び小便器本体底部の外側面を洗浄する洗浄水を制御する第2制御手段を設けることなどで椀状体の内側面及び小便器本体底部の外側面を洗浄可能とした構成も提案されている。(特許文献2参照)   As a urinal that can efficiently wash urine that has fallen outside the urinal body, when installing a stall-type flush urinal on a concrete structure, a bowl-shaped body having a drain pipe and a trap is first installed. A ball part of the urinal body is installed with a gap inside the bowl-like body through an annular packing disposed in the edge of the tub body to form a double structure, and a first control unit for controlling the washing water for washing the urinal body An inner surface of the bowl and an outer surface of the bottom of the urinal body by providing control means and second control means for controlling washing water for washing the inside of the bowl and the outer surface of the bottom of the urinal body A configuration has been proposed that can be cleaned. (See Patent Document 2)

ストール型水洗小便器における垂れ受部のリムの上面、つまり周壁端縁への飛散尿の付着を軽減し、小便器の人為的な清掃労力を軽減することを意図して、垂れ受部のリムの幅寸法を、小便器本体の排尿受面部の両側壁におけるリムより小さくする提案もある。(特許文献3参照)   In the stall type flush toilet, the rim of the sag receptacle is intended to reduce the amount of urine adhering to the upper surface of the rim of the sag receptacle, that is, the edge of the peripheral wall, and to reduce the manual cleaning effort of the urinal. There is also a proposal to make the width dimension of the urine smaller than the rims on both side walls of the urine receiving surface of the urinal body. (See Patent Document 3)

また、水洗大便器のボール部において、男子小用の際に尿が掛かりやすいボール部前部のリム導水路を除去してその幅分だけボール部開口部を広くする一方、その部分のボール面の尿による汚れの防止のため、ボール部両側方部分で終端するリム導水路吐出口からの洗浄水を前部の乾燥面に吐出させ、洗浄する構成も提案されている。(特許文献4参照)   In addition, in the ball part of the flush toilet, the rim water channel at the front part of the ball part where urine is liable to urine during boys' use is removed to widen the ball part opening by the width, while the ball surface of that part In order to prevent contamination due to urine, a configuration has also been proposed in which cleaning water is discharged from the rim conduit discharge port that terminates at both sides of the ball portion to the front drying surface for cleaning. (See Patent Document 4)

ボール部周壁上端部を内側への引込形状としたリムを備え、ボール部内の溜水面から露出する引込部分の下方の周壁部分を棚状にしてボール部周面を旋回する洗浄水の旋回経路を形成し、便器洗浄機能の改善を図った水洗大便器も提案されている。(特許文献5参照)   Provided with a rim with the upper end portion of the ball portion peripheral wall drawn inward, and a cleaning water swirl path that swirls around the ball portion circumferential surface with the peripheral wall portion below the retracted portion exposed from the water storage surface in the ball portion as a shelf A flush toilet that has been formed to improve the toilet cleaning function has also been proposed. (See Patent Document 5)

便器内面のみでなく、縁部を含む外面も洗浄する試みもあり、これまで固定式であった水洗大便器のボール部を、直立式で洗浄水ノズルと乾燥ユニットならびに排水トラップとを内蔵する収納キャビネットに対し回動可能に取り付け、使用後は水平突き出し位置から直立収納位置に回動させれば、洗浄水ノズルからの洗浄水はボール部内面のみでなく、ボール部の縁部、外側面、便座まで洗浄し、ボール部内の排泄物は排水トラップに排出され、洗浄完了後は乾燥ユニットによって洗浄面を乾燥させる構成が提案されている。(特許文献6参照)   There is an attempt to clean not only the inner surface of the toilet bowl but also the outer surface including the edge, and the ball section of the flush toilet that has been fixed up to now is stored upright and contains a washing water nozzle, a drying unit, and a drain trap. If it is pivotably attached to the cabinet and rotated from the horizontal protruding position to the upright storage position after use, the cleaning water from the cleaning water nozzle is not only the inner surface of the ball unit, but also the edge of the ball unit, the outer surface, A configuration has been proposed in which the toilet seat is cleaned, the waste in the ball portion is discharged to a drain trap, and the cleaning surface is dried by a drying unit after the cleaning is completed. (See Patent Document 6)

撥水処理を洗浄面の全面に行うことで汚れの付着防止を狙った方式もあるが、撥水処理を洗浄面の全面に行うと、例えば便器の場合、リム部の通水路の小孔から出た洗浄水が洗浄面全体に拡散しないでそのまま筋状となって流れ落ち、洗浄水が供給されない不洗浄領域が残るという問題が発生する為、洗浄面にシロキサン架橋とシロキサン以外の架橋により重合されたシリコーンを含む物質により形成したシリコーン被覆を施した撥水性領域を隙間を開けて複数個設け、洗浄面の全面を撥水領域にしないことによって残る非撥水領域に沿って洗浄水の流れが拡散され、洗浄されない部分の割合を少なくすることが提案されている。(特許文献7参照)   There is also a method aimed at preventing dirt from adhering by performing water repellent treatment on the entire surface of the cleaning surface, but if water repellent treatment is performed on the entire surface of the cleaning surface, for example, in the case of a toilet, it is from a small hole in the water passage of the rim. The cleaning water that has come out does not diffuse across the entire cleaning surface and flows down as it is, leaving a non-cleaning area where cleaning water is not supplied, so that the cleaning surface is polymerized by siloxane crosslinking and crosslinking other than siloxane. By providing a plurality of water-repellent areas with a silicone coating formed with a substance containing silicone, with a gap, the flow of the cleaning water flows along the remaining non-water-repellent areas by making the entire cleaning surface not a water-repellent area. It has been proposed to reduce the proportion of parts that are diffused and not cleaned. (See Patent Document 7)

同様に、洗浄面の全面に洗浄水を供給する構成として、洗浄水を洗浄面に向けスプレー状に射出するスプレッダを備えることで、洗浄水を重力で落下する方向のみでなく、斜め方向、そして横方向にも拡散しながら流下させ、洗浄力にむらが生じることを防止できる構成がある。(特許文献8参照)   Similarly, as a configuration for supplying cleaning water to the entire surface of the cleaning surface, by providing a spreader that sprays the cleaning water toward the cleaning surface in a spray form, not only the direction in which the cleaning water falls due to gravity, but also in an oblique direction, and There is a configuration in which it is possible to prevent unevenness in the cleaning power by flowing down while diffusing in the lateral direction. (See Patent Document 8)

また、一般に陶器製便器を長期にわたり使用すると、徐々に便器ボール面が局所的に疎水化されかつ疎水化面積が増大する。そのため、洗浄水流路は徐々に狭まり、一定の場所しか流れなくなる。この対策として吐水口を複数形成し、前期吐水口を複数の向きに洗浄水が吐出されるようにした水洗便器も提案されている。(特許文献9参照)   In general, when a ceramic toilet is used for a long period of time, the toilet bowl surface is gradually hydrophobized and the hydrophobized area increases. For this reason, the washing water flow path gradually narrows and flows only in a certain place. As a countermeasure against this, a flush toilet has been proposed in which a plurality of water outlets are formed, and washing water is discharged from the previous water outlet in a plurality of directions. (See Patent Document 9)

これもボール部周壁の上端面を対象とするものではないが、使用後に洗浄水によって洗浄する洗浄面を有する水廻り製品において、少ない洗浄水で洗浄面を効果的に洗浄することを図って、周壁上端のリム部内の通水路から周壁内面に向け下方に洗浄水を放出する多数の射水孔を2cm以下のピッチで設けることが提案されている。(特許文献10参照)   This is not intended for the upper end surface of the peripheral wall of the ball part, but in a water-based product having a cleaning surface that is cleaned with cleaning water after use, the cleaning surface is effectively cleaned with a small amount of cleaning water. It has been proposed to provide a large number of spray holes with a pitch of 2 cm or less for discharging cleaning water downward from the water passage in the rim portion at the upper end of the peripheral wall toward the inner surface of the peripheral wall. (See Patent Document 10)

水洗大便器のボール面に付着する汚物等の汚れを落としやすくするために表面処理を施した場合に適合する洗浄方式として、ボール面上縁に沿って略水平方向に溝状に陥没形成された案内凹部に吐水されるリムショット洗浄水が、案内凹部に案内されながらボール面上縁部に沿って略水平方向に旋回を起こし、この旋回する主流から各所で分岐した流れとなり、露出面に沿って伝わり落ちるようにした構成も提案されている。(特許文献11参照)   As a cleaning method suitable for surface treatment to make it easier to remove dirt and other dirt adhering to the ball surface of flush toilets, it was recessed into a groove shape in the horizontal direction along the upper edge of the ball surface. The rim shot cleaning water discharged into the guide recess swirls in a substantially horizontal direction along the upper edge of the ball surface while being guided by the guide recess, and becomes a flow branched in various places from the swiveling main flow along the exposed surface. There are also proposals that make it easier to communicate. (See Patent Document 11)

更に、水洗大便器におけるボール部の周壁の構造を変えることによるボール部周壁面に対する洗浄機能の向上策として、便器ボール内に直接面した便器上縁の内側壁面に沿って洗浄水を吐出し、便器上縁から洗浄水が便器外に飛び出すことなく、便器上縁の内側壁面に沿って周回して流れるように主洗浄水を形成し、更に主洗浄水から分かれた分流洗浄水を便器ボール内面全体に行きわたらせるよう案内した後、排水流路入口に全洗浄水を導く洗浄方法が提案されている。(特許文献12参照)   Furthermore, as a measure for improving the cleaning function for the peripheral wall surface of the ball part by changing the structure of the peripheral wall of the ball part in the flush toilet, flush water is discharged along the inner wall surface of the toilet bowl directly facing the toilet bowl, The main wash water is formed so that the wash water does not jump out of the toilet bowl and flows around the inner wall surface of the toilet bowl, and the split wash water separated from the main wash water is further divided into the inner surface of the toilet bowl. There has been proposed a cleaning method for guiding all the cleaning water to the drainage channel inlet after guiding it to reach the whole. (See Patent Document 12)

近時に至って物の表面の汚れ、ないし汚れ防止には表面の親水性が大きな要因を成すとの観点から、親水性とその応用についての多くの研究、提案が見られ、ある研究で発見された光触媒機能を有する組成物は光励起によって高度に親水化され、水との接触角は10°以下、詳しくは5゜以下の高度の親水性を示し、これを超親水性と呼んでいるが、このような高度の親水性表面を持つ複合材とその製造法が示されている。(特許文献13参照)   Recently, many researches and proposals on hydrophilicity and its applications have been found from the viewpoint that surface hydrophilicity is a major factor in preventing dirt on the surface of objects or preventing dirt. A composition having a photocatalytic function is highly hydrophilized by photoexcitation and exhibits a high hydrophilicity with a contact angle with water of 10 ° or less, more specifically 5 ° or less. This is called superhydrophilicity. A composite material having such a highly hydrophilic surface and a method for producing the same are shown. (See Patent Document 13)

そして、鏡やレンズの表面を高度の親水性とすることで、防曇性を付与し、表面の汚れを防止し、表面を自己浄化可能とし、若しくは人為的な清掃を容易にする技術として、光触媒によりガラス等の表面を超親水性にする方法が提案されている。(特許文献14参照)   And, by making the surface of the mirror and lens highly hydrophilic, as a technology that imparts anti-fogging properties, prevents surface contamination, makes the surface self-cleanable, or facilitates artificial cleaning, A method of making a surface of glass or the like superhydrophilic with a photocatalyst has been proposed. (See Patent Document 14)

これらの光触媒技術を水洗便器の表面洗浄に応用して、水洗便器の少なくともボール部の表面を親水性とすることにより汚物の付着を防止し、付着した汚物を容易に洗浄できるようにする試みもなされている。(特許文献15参照)   By applying these photocatalytic technologies to the surface cleaning of flush toilets, it is also attempted to prevent the adhesion of dirt by making the surface of at least the ball part of the flush toilet toilet hydrophilic so that the adhered dirt can be easily washed. Has been made. (See Patent Document 15)

光触媒の光励起に応じて親水化させた場合に、室内の微弱な照明下でも、または暗所においてすらも長期にわたり良好な親水性を維持する組成物も提案されている。(特許文献16参照)   There has also been proposed a composition that maintains good hydrophilicity for a long time even under weak illumination in a room or even in a dark place when it is hydrophilized in response to photoexcitation of a photocatalyst. (See Patent Document 16)

一方、室内の微弱照明下では光触媒の光励起による親水化に時間がかかり、そのため時間経過とともに表面の水との接触角が上昇し、水をかけるだけでは汚れが充分に落とせなくなる事を防ぐため、洗浄水として使用するアルカリ水中に界面活性剤を入れ、部材表面の汚れとアルカリ水のなじみをよくして洗浄水がはじかれることなく複合材表面を覆い、アルカリ水による洗浄効果をさらに向上させる提案もされている。(特許文献17参照)   On the other hand, under weak lighting in the room, it takes time to make the photocatalyst hydrophilic by photoexcitation, so the contact angle with water on the surface increases with the passage of time. A proposal to further improve the cleaning effect of alkaline water by putting a surfactant in alkaline water used as cleaning water, covering the surface of the composite material without fouling the surface of the component and improving the compatibility of alkaline water It has also been. (See Patent Document 17)

光触媒粒子による表面の親水化については、便器と限らず、あらゆる陶磁器製品の表面に、光線のほとんど当たらない室内でも親水回復機能を発揮しうる親水性を持たせるために、基材表面の釉薬層又は印刷層の上にγ−アルミナやベーマイトのような異方性物質を含む層を形成することも提案されている。また親水性については、水との接触角に換算して30°以下、好ましくは10°以下、より好ましくは5°以下の水濡れ性を呈する状態と示されている。(特許文献18参照)   The surface hydrophilization with photocatalyst particles is not limited to toilet bowls. The glaze layer on the surface of the base material is used to make the surface of all ceramic products have a hydrophilic property that can exhibit a hydrophilic recovery function even in a room that is hardly exposed to light. Alternatively, it has been proposed to form a layer containing an anisotropic substance such as γ-alumina or boehmite on the printed layer. The hydrophilicity is indicated as a state exhibiting water wettability of 30 ° or less, preferably 10 ° or less, and more preferably 5 ° or less in terms of a contact angle with water. (See Patent Document 18)

一方、陶器製に代えて樹脂製の便器が提案され、便器の大幅な軽量化と製造の容易化が実現されることとなる。光触媒及びバインダー成分を含む表層部を備えた便器であって、該表層部中における光触媒の濃度が便器の内部側から表面に向かって高くなることを特徴とする便器も提案されている。(特許文献19参照)   On the other hand, a toilet bowl made of resin is proposed instead of a ceramic one, and the weight of the toilet bowl is greatly reduced and the manufacture thereof is facilitated. A toilet having a surface layer portion containing a photocatalyst and a binder component, wherein the concentration of the photocatalyst in the surface layer portion increases from the inside of the toilet toward the surface, has also been proposed. (See Patent Document 19)

しかし、便器を樹脂製にすると軽量化と施工作業の容易化という利点と裏腹に、樹脂製のボール面に固着する汚物が水洗されにくくなり、不衛生になるという問題が生じる。そこで、光触媒を含有する表面層を形成した部材において光触媒を光励起すると、部材の表面が高度に親水化されることを利用して、樹脂製便器のボール面に光触媒粒子を含有する表面層を形成し、光触媒の光励起によりボール面に親水性を持たせ、ボール面の洗浄を容易とした樹脂製水洗便器も提案されている。(特許文献20参照)   However, when the toilet bowl is made of resin, on the contrary to the advantages of weight reduction and ease of construction work, there arises a problem that the filth adhering to the resin ball surface becomes difficult to be washed with water and becomes unsanitary. Therefore, a surface layer containing photocatalyst particles is formed on the ball surface of a resin toilet bowl by utilizing the fact that when the photocatalyst is photoexcited in a member having a surface layer containing a photocatalyst, the surface of the member is highly hydrophilic. A resin flush toilet has also been proposed in which the ball surface is made hydrophilic by photoexcitation of a photocatalyst and the ball surface can be easily cleaned. (See Patent Document 20)

便器本体に関するものではないが、便蓋や洗浄ノズルを含む樹脂製の暖房便座の撥水性を高める提案もあり、高結晶性ポリプロピレン樹脂と臨界表面張力が28dyne/cmより小さい高分子材料と無機充填材とを主体とする組成物で各部材を形成するが、使用する高分子材料のポリプロピレン樹脂との共存、無機充填材との共存において撥水性、防汚性を大きく向上させる提案もなされている。(特許文献21参照)   Although not related to the toilet bowl body, there is also a proposal to increase the water repellency of resin-made heated toilet seats including toilet lids and washing nozzles, high crystalline polypropylene resin, polymer material with a critical surface tension of less than 28 dyne / cm and inorganic filling Each member is formed of a composition mainly composed of a material, but proposals have been made to greatly improve water repellency and antifouling properties in the coexistence of the polymer material used with the polypropylene resin and coexistence with the inorganic filler. . (See Patent Document 21)

便器と便器設置面との隙間に小便等の汚水を浸入させないようにして便所の悪臭発生防止を図る提案もあり、そのため便器の前部の外周面に汚水受凹部を形成し、便器外面に沿って流下した汚水を溜める汚水溜め部を汚水受凹部内に設置する。(特許文献22参照)   There is also a proposal to prevent the generation of bad odor in the toilet by preventing sewage from entering the gap between the toilet bowl and the toilet installation surface. Therefore, a sewage receiving recess is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the front part of the toilet, along the toilet outer surface. A sewage reservoir for collecting the sewage flowing down is installed in the sewage receiving recess. (See Patent Document 22)

水洗大便器において、便器本体の外側において上方から飛散落下する尿を受ける飛散尿受具と、受けた尿を便器本体内部に流入させる流入孔を、便器本体先端部に、または先端部から両側面にかけて設けることが提案されている。飛散尿受具は便器本体下部から斜め上方に広がり、流入孔は便器本体下部に設けられる。(特許文献23参照)   In flush toilets, a scattering urine receiver that receives urine that scatters and falls from the outside on the outside of the toilet body, and an inflow hole that allows the received urine to flow into the toilet body inside, both sides from the front end of the toilet body It has been proposed to be provided. The scattered urine receiver extends obliquely upward from the lower part of the toilet body, and the inflow hole is provided in the lower part of the toilet body. (See Patent Document 23)

特許文献1に記載のストール型水洗小便器は主便器両側壁とこれに続く垂れ受部の周壁の端縁面に開口して設けた流水用樋にも水を流すので、樋の中に落ちた尿滴は洗浄されるが、樋の両側の端縁面とこれに続く側面に付着する尿滴や、ボール部周壁の上端面における汚れを洗浄する機能は備えていない。   The stall-type flush urinal described in Patent Document 1 also flows into the flushing basin provided on the side wall of the main urinal and the end wall of the peripheral wall of the drooping receiving section. Although the urine droplets are washed, the urine droplets adhering to the edge surfaces on both sides and the side surfaces following the urine droplets and the function of cleaning dirt on the upper end surface of the ball peripheral wall are not provided.

特許文献2に記載の場合も、ボール部周壁は小便器本体内を洗浄する洗浄水と椀状体の内側及び小便器本体底部の外側面を洗浄する洗浄水との間仕切りとなり、その上端面における汚れを確実に洗浄する機能は備えていない。   Also in the case of Patent Document 2, the peripheral wall of the ball portion serves as a partition between the cleaning water for cleaning the inside of the urinal body and the cleaning water for cleaning the inside of the bowl and the outer surface of the bottom of the urinal body, It does not have a function to clean dirt.

特許文献3に記載のストール型水洗小便器は、小便器の人為的な清掃労力を低減することを意図して、垂れ受部のリムの幅寸法を、小便器本体の排尿受面部の両側壁におけるリムより小さくする提案だが、リム上端面を清掃する機能は備えていない。   The stall-type flush urinal described in Patent Document 3 is intended to reduce the artificial cleaning effort of the urinal, and the width dimension of the rim of the drooping receiving portion is set to the both side walls of the urine receiving surface portion of the urinal body. It is a proposal to make it smaller than the rim, but it does not have a function to clean the rim top surface.

特許文献4に記載の洋風大便器でも、男子小用の際に尿が掛かりやすいボール部前部のリム導水路を除去してその幅分だけボール部開口部を広くしているが、ボール部周壁の上端面における汚れを洗浄する機能は備えていない。   Even in the Western-style toilet described in Patent Document 4, the rim conduit at the front part of the ball part where urine is liable to be applied to a boy's small is removed to widen the ball part opening by the width. There is no function for cleaning dirt on the upper end surface of the peripheral wall.

特許文献5に記載の洋風大便器では、ボール面上縁部の内側壁面に沿って洗浄水を噴出して便器を洗浄する場合の機能改善が提案されているが、これもボール部周壁の上端面における汚れを洗浄する機能は備えていない。   In the Western-style toilet described in Patent Document 5, an improvement in the function in the case of cleaning the toilet by jetting cleaning water along the inner wall surface of the upper edge of the ball surface has been proposed. There is no function for cleaning dirt on the end face.

唯一、特許文献6において便器のボール部内面とその周壁上端を含む外面との全面洗浄構成が提案されているが、この場合ボール部は直立式収納キャビネットに対し回動可能にしてキャビネット内への引き込み位置で洗浄されるため、ノズルからの洗浄水の外部流出防止に防水構造を必要とし、製造コストの点で問題がある。また、洗浄を終えた後の乾燥にもコストの増加の問題のみならず、乾燥に時間を要するため次の使用者による連続使用に不向きであり、公共施設での設置に不適であるという問題もある。   Only Patent Document 6 proposes a configuration for cleaning the entire surface of the inner surface of the bowl part of the toilet and the outer surface including the upper end of the peripheral wall. In this case, the ball part can be rotated with respect to the upright storage cabinet and moved into the cabinet. Since the cleaning is performed at the drawing-in position, a waterproof structure is required to prevent the cleaning water from flowing out from the nozzle, which is problematic in terms of manufacturing cost. In addition to the problem of increased costs for drying after washing, it takes time to dry, making it unsuitable for continuous use by the next user and unsuitable for installation in public facilities. is there.

特許文献7は、水廻り製品の洗浄面に撥水処理を全面に行った場合の不洗浄領域問題解消への提案であるが、対象はボール部内面であり、ボール部周壁の上端面における汚れを洗浄する機能は備えていない。   Patent Document 7 is a proposal for solving the problem of non-cleaning area when the water-repellent treatment is performed on the entire cleaning surface of the product around water, but the object is the inner surface of the ball portion, and the dirt on the upper end surface of the peripheral wall of the ball portion. It does not have the function of cleaning.

特許文献8も同様に、洗浄面の全面に洗浄水を供給する構成として、洗浄水を洗浄面に向けスプレー状に射出するスプレッダを備えることで、洗浄水を重力で落下する方向のみでなく、斜め方向、そして横方向にも拡散しながら流下させ洗浄力にむらが生じることを防止できる構成であり、ボール部周壁の上端面における汚れを洗浄する機能は備えていない。   Similarly, Patent Document 8 is configured to supply cleaning water to the entire surface of the cleaning surface, and includes a spreader that sprays the cleaning water toward the cleaning surface in a spray form, so that not only the direction in which the cleaning water falls due to gravity, It is configured to prevent the unevenness of the cleaning power by flowing down while diffusing in an oblique direction and a lateral direction, and does not have a function of cleaning dirt on the upper end surface of the peripheral wall of the ball portion.

特許文献9は、陶器製便器を長期にわたり使用すると徐々に便器ボール面が局所的に疎水化され、疎水化面積が増大して洗浄水流路は徐々に狭まり、限定された場所しか流れなくなることへの対策として、方向を変えた吐水口を複数形成し、複数の方向に洗浄水が吐出されるようにした水洗便器の提案であり、ボール部周壁の上端面における汚れを洗浄する機能は備えていない。   According to Patent Document 9, when a ceramic toilet bowl is used over a long period of time, the toilet bowl surface is gradually hydrophobized, the hydrophobized area increases, the wash water flow path gradually narrows, and only a limited place flows. As a countermeasure against this, it is a proposal of a flush toilet in which a plurality of water outlets whose directions are changed are formed and the washing water is discharged in a plurality of directions, and has a function of washing dirt on the upper end surface of the peripheral wall of the ball portion. Absent.

特許文献10では少ない洗浄水を効果的に周壁上端のリム部内の通水路から周壁内面に向け下方に放出する多数の射水孔を設けることが提案されているが、ボール部周壁の上端面における汚れを洗浄する機能は備えていない。   In Patent Document 10, it has been proposed to provide a large number of water spray holes for effectively discharging a small amount of washing water downward from the water passage in the rim portion at the upper end of the peripheral wall toward the inner surface of the peripheral wall. It does not have the function of cleaning.

特許文献11の場合もボール面の上縁に沿う内面においてほぼ水平方向の旋回水流を形成し、ボール内面を洗浄するが、ボール部の上端面を洗浄する機能は果たしていない。   In the case of Patent Document 11 as well, a substantially horizontal swirling water flow is formed on the inner surface along the upper edge of the ball surface and the ball inner surface is cleaned, but the function of cleaning the upper end surface of the ball portion is not achieved.

特許文献12も上記と同様に便器上縁の内側壁面に沿って周回する洗浄水を形成してボール内面全体を洗浄するもので、ボール部上端面の洗浄までは行わない。   Similarly to the above, Patent Document 12 forms cleaning water that circulates along the inner wall surface of the upper edge of the toilet bowl to clean the entire inner surface of the ball, and does not perform the cleaning of the upper end surface of the ball portion.

特許文献13ならびに14は、基材表面を超親水性にすることと、汚れ防止に係る点において水洗便器に示唆するものがあるが、これら文献は端的に言えば平滑表面への結露の防止、透明基材、およびその製造方法に関するもので、直接便器に係わるものではない。   Patent Documents 13 and 14 suggest the flush toilet in terms of making the substrate surface superhydrophilic and preventing soiling, but these documents simply prevent the condensation on a smooth surface, It relates to a transparent substrate and a method for producing the same, and is not directly related to a toilet.

特許文献15から21までは、いずれも陶器製ないし樹脂製の水洗便器のボール部の内表面に対する光触媒の光励起の技術による親水化であり、ボール部周壁の上端面の汚染防 止と洗浄を可能とするものではない。   Patent Documents 15 to 21 are all hydrophilized by photoexcitation technology of the photocatalyst on the inner surface of the ball part of ceramic or resin flush toilets, and can prevent and clean the upper end surface of the ball part peripheral wall. It is not something to do.

特許文献22の場合には、汚水が便器設置面に到達することを防止することはしても、便器外周面を流下させ溜め容器に汚水を溜めることはかえって悪臭を積極的に作ることでしかない。   In the case of Patent Document 22, although it is possible to prevent sewage from reaching the toilet installation surface, it is only possible to make a bad smell by actively making the outer peripheral surface of the toilet flow down and collecting the sewage in the storage container. Absent.

特許文献23の飛散尿受具は、明らかに水洗大便器の外側周囲において飛散落下する尿を捕捉するために、便器本体の側面下部から上方外側に広く張出して設けられるので、使用者の脚が接触せざるを得ず、また、捕捉された尿は飛散尿受具の表面を流下することとなり、流入孔に達するまでに臭気発生の原因となる。この飛散尿受具は便器本体、つまりボール部の周壁の汚染対策とはならないから、ボール部周壁の上端面に付着した尿はそのまま残るか、外周面に流れ、ボール部周壁を延々と流下せざるを得ない。   The scattered urine receiving device of Patent Document 23 is provided so as to protrude widely from the lower side of the toilet body to the upper outer side in order to capture urine that is scattered and dropped around the outside of the flush toilet. In addition, the collected urine will flow down the surface of the scattered urine receiver, causing odor generation before reaching the inflow hole. Since this scattered urine receiver does not serve as a countermeasure against contamination of the toilet body, that is, the peripheral wall of the ball part, the urine adhering to the upper end surface of the ball part remains as it is or flows to the outer peripheral surface, allowing the ball part peripheral wall to flow down endlessly. I must.

上記したいずれの特許文献もボール部内面に対する洗浄効率の向上を意図した構成上の改良や、ボール部内面への汚物の付着を防止したり、あるいは付着した汚物の洗浄を容易とするための撥水性ないし親水性の付与における様々な工夫であり、撥水性又は親水性による防汚効果は水による洗浄によって初めて充分に発揮されるものであり、その意味では、ボール部ないし便器の外に洗浄水が流出したり飛び散ったりすることなく、周壁上端面上への尿滴滞留を防止し周壁外周面流下の尿滴に対してボール部内もしくは排水系への回収を可能とした提案も未だ見られない。   In any of the above-mentioned patent documents, the structural improvement intended to improve the cleaning efficiency for the inner surface of the ball part, the prevention of dirt from adhering to the inner surface of the ball part, or the repellency for facilitating the cleaning of the attached dirt. It is a variety of devices for imparting aqueous or hydrophilic properties, and the antifouling effect due to water repellency or hydrophilicity is only fully exhibited by washing with water. In that sense, the washing water is placed outside the ball or toilet. There is still no proposal to prevent the urine droplets from staying on the upper end surface of the peripheral wall and allowing the urine droplets flowing down the peripheral surface of the peripheral wall to be collected in the ball part or in the drainage system without spilling or splashing. .

本発明はこのような従来の構成が持つ問題を解決しようとするものであり、水洗小便器もしくは水洗大便器において、ボール部の周壁の上端面が排尿時に飛散する尿滴の付着によって汚染を受けた場合にも高効率をもって尿滴を自然流下させるとともに、早期かつ確実にボール部内に収容し、ボール部上端面の汚染を少なくとも最小限に止め、便器取付け床が汚染されることを防止できる構成を持った水洗便器を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention is intended to solve the problem of such a conventional configuration. In a flush toilet or flush toilet, the upper end surface of the peripheral wall of the ball portion is contaminated by adhesion of urine droplets scattered during urination. In this case, the urine droplets can naturally flow down with high efficiency, and can be accommodated in the ball part quickly and reliably, and at least the contamination of the upper end surface of the ball part can be minimized to prevent the toilet mounting floor from being contaminated. The purpose is to provide a flush toilet with sewage.

上記の目的を達成するために、第1の課題解決手段として本発明は水洗小便器もしくは水洗大便器のボール部を含む全内面に洗浄水を供給する洗浄系と、ボール部内に集中した洗浄水を底部の排水口より外部に排出する排水系とよりなる水洗便器において、ボール部周壁上端面とほぼ平行に周壁のほぼ全周に亘って、上端面と曲面で連続する外周面を内方下向きに引込ませてボール部内面に開口する収水路をボール部周壁上端面より下方に配置し、排尿時にボール部周壁上端面に飛散し付着した尿滴を外周面に沿って収水路内に流下させ、外周壁面との接触を保ってボール部内もしくは排水系内に回収可能としたことを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, as a first problem solving means, the present invention provides a cleaning system for supplying cleaning water to the entire inner surface including the ball portion of a flush toilet or flush toilet, and flush water concentrated in the ball portion. In a flush toilet comprising a drainage system that discharges water to the outside from the drain outlet at the bottom, the outer peripheral surface that is continuous with the upper end surface and the curved surface is directed inward and downward over the entire circumference of the peripheral wall substantially parallel to the upper end surface of the ball portion peripheral wall The water collecting channel that is drawn into the ball portion inner surface is arranged below the upper end surface of the ball portion peripheral wall, and the urine droplets scattered and adhered to the upper end surface of the ball portion during urination are allowed to flow down into the water collecting channel along the outer peripheral surface. It is characterized in that it can be recovered in the ball part or in the drainage system while maintaining contact with the outer peripheral wall surface.

第2の課題解決手段として、水洗式小便器もしくは大便器であって、小便器においては排尿受面部下部に、大便器においては便座下部に位置して上面が開口するボール部が、上端を形成する上部周壁とボール部底部より立ち上がる下部周壁により形成され、上部周壁の外径がボール部上端部より小さくなった高さ位置において、その一部もしくは略全周の下部周壁外周面が、上部周壁上端の外周面の直下もしくはその内側に、上部周壁外周面を流下する尿滴の流下を妨げない幅の隙間を開けて配置されることにより収水路が形成され、ボール部外周壁面を流下する尿滴を外周壁面との接触を保ってボール部内に収容可能としたことを特徴とする。   As a second problem-solving means, a flush-type urinal or a urinal, wherein the urine receiving surface part is lower in the urinal, and the bowl part located at the lower part of the toilet seat in the urinal and having an open upper surface forms the upper end The upper peripheral wall and the lower peripheral wall rising from the bottom of the ball part, and at the height position where the outer diameter of the upper peripheral wall is smaller than the upper end part of the ball part, the outer peripheral surface of the lower peripheral wall of a part or substantially the entire circumference is the upper peripheral wall The urine that flows down the outer peripheral wall surface of the ball part by forming a water collecting channel by placing a gap with a width that does not prevent the flow of urine droplets flowing down the outer peripheral surface of the upper peripheral wall directly below or inside the outer peripheral surface of the upper end. The droplets can be accommodated in the ball portion while maintaining contact with the outer peripheral wall surface.

第3の課題解決手段として、ボール部上端を形成する周壁が略ボール部全体を形成し、ボール部下方の排水系を形成する排水系外周壁が、洗浄水の排水に支障を来たさない高さ位置において側面を開口し、排水系外周壁面が、上部周壁上端の外周面の直下もしくはその内側に、ボール部外周壁面を流下する尿滴の流下を妨げない幅の隙間を開けて配置されることにより収水路が形成され、ボール部外周壁面を流下する尿滴を排水系に収容可能としたことを特徴とする。   As a third problem solving means, the peripheral wall forming the upper end of the ball part forms substantially the entire ball part, and the outer peripheral wall of the drainage system forming the drainage system below the ball part does not hinder the drainage of the washing water. The side surface is open at the height position, and the drainage system outer peripheral wall surface is arranged with a gap of a width that does not prevent the urine droplets flowing down the outer peripheral wall surface of the ball portion directly below or inside the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the upper peripheral wall. Thus, a water collecting channel is formed, and urine drops flowing down the outer peripheral wall surface of the ball portion can be accommodated in the drainage system.

第4の課題解決手段として、洗浄系はボール部の開口を囲む周壁の上端部に沿って延設される通水路と、通水路の全長において通水路内部と連通して上端部の略全長の表面に、開口する溢水口とを含み、通水路に供給される洗浄水は溢水溝から溢水して上端部表面を洗浄する水膜流を形成し、排水系は溢水口に続く上端部表面から溢水水膜流を流下させる上端部の内周壁および外周壁の双方またはいずれか一方を含み、排水系に含まれる外周壁は少なくとも通水路より下で内方に引込まれることにより溢水口の全長に沿い開口して外周壁を流下する水膜流を収容しかつ外周壁面との接触を保って排水系に導くように収水路が設けられることを特徴とする。   As a fourth problem solving means, the cleaning system has a water passage extending along the upper end portion of the peripheral wall surrounding the opening of the ball portion, and communicates with the inside of the water passage in the entire length of the water passage so as to have a substantially full length of the upper end portion. The surface includes an opening overflow opening, and the washing water supplied to the water passage overflows from the overflow groove to form a water film flow that cleans the upper end surface, and the drainage system starts from the upper end surface following the overflow opening. It includes the inner wall and / or outer wall at the upper end that allows the overflow water film flow to flow down, and the outer wall included in the drainage system is drawn inward at least below the water passage so that the full length of the overflow port A water collecting channel is provided so as to accommodate the water film flow that opens along the outer wall and flows down the outer peripheral wall and leads to the drainage system while maintaining contact with the outer peripheral wall surface.

第5の課題解決手段として、収水路は、便器のボール部周壁の上端を覆って着脱自在とした別体の取付上端部内に、取付上端部の外周面から内周まで貫通して設けられることを特徴とする。   As a fifth problem solving means, the water collecting channel is provided to penetrate from the outer peripheral surface of the mounting upper end portion to the inner periphery in a separate mounting upper end portion that covers the upper end of the peripheral wall of the toilet bowl and is detachable. It is characterized by.

第1の課題解決手段による作用は次の通りである。すなわち、本手段による水洗小便器もしくは水洗大便器は、ボール部周壁上端面とほぼ平行に周壁のほぼ全周にわたって、上端面と曲面で連続する外周面を内方下向きに引き込ませてボール部内面に開口する収水路を設けることにより、ボール部周壁上端面の飛散尿滴を外周面に沿って収水路内に流下させ、外周壁面との接触を保ってボール部内もしくは排水系に回収する。   The operation of the first problem solving means is as follows. That is, the flush urinal or flush toilet according to this means is configured so that the outer peripheral surface continuous with the upper end surface and the curved surface is drawn inwardly and downwardly over the entire circumference of the peripheral wall substantially parallel to the upper end surface of the ball portion inner surface. By providing a water collecting channel that opens to the top, the scattered urine droplets on the upper end surface of the ball portion peripheral wall flow down into the water collecting channel along the outer peripheral surface, and are collected in the ball portion or the drainage system while maintaining contact with the outer peripheral wall surface.

第2の課題解決手段による作用は、ボール部の上端を形成する上部周壁の下端と底部から立上げた下部周壁の上端とを、上部周壁の外径がボール部上端部より小さくなった高さ位置において、その一部もしくは略全周の下部周壁外周面が、上部周壁上端の外周面の直下しくはその内側に位置させることによって、排尿時に飛散する落下尿滴は上部周壁上端面で補足され下部周壁に及ばない配置となる。さらに上部周壁外周面を流下する尿滴の流下を妨げない幅の隙間を開けて下部周壁を配置することで上部周壁外周面を流下する尿滴を外周壁面との接触を保って確実に収水路内に導く。   The action by the second problem solving means is that the lower end of the upper peripheral wall forming the upper end of the ball part and the upper end of the lower peripheral wall raised from the bottom are the heights at which the outer diameter of the upper peripheral wall is smaller than the upper end part of the ball part. At this position, the outer peripheral surface of the lower peripheral wall of a part or substantially the entire circumference is positioned directly below or inside the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the upper peripheral wall, so that dropped urine droplets scattered during urination are captured by the upper end surface of the upper peripheral wall. The arrangement does not reach the lower peripheral wall. Furthermore, by arranging a lower peripheral wall with a gap that does not hinder the flow of urine drops flowing down the outer peripheral surface of the upper peripheral wall, the urine drops flowing down the outer peripheral surface of the upper peripheral wall are kept in contact with the outer peripheral wall to ensure water collection Lead in.

第3の課題解決手段による作用は、ボール部上端を含む周壁でボール部全体を形成する一方、ボール部底部の排水系の側面に開口を設け、ボール部上端外周面から流下する尿滴を収容する収水路を、ボール部上端外周面の直下又はボール部内方側となる位置から排水系側面開口まで設けた、排水系外周壁面とボール部周壁外面との間の隙間によって構成する。従って収水路はボール部周壁を内外に横断する空隙としてではなく、ボール部周壁外面に沿う隙間として形成される。   The action of the third problem solving means is that the entire ball portion is formed by the peripheral wall including the upper end of the ball portion, while an opening is provided in the side surface of the drainage system at the bottom of the ball portion to accommodate urine droplets flowing down from the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the ball portion. The water collecting channel is configured by a gap between the drainage system outer peripheral wall surface and the ball part peripheral wall outer surface, which is provided from a position immediately below the ball part upper end outer peripheral surface or the ball part inner side to the drainage system side surface opening. Accordingly, the water collecting channel is not formed as a gap crossing the ball portion peripheral wall inward and outward, but as a gap along the outer surface of the ball portion peripheral wall.

第4の課題解決手段による作用は、ボール部周壁上端部の長さに沿う通水路と、通水路の全長と連通して上端部表面に開口する溢水口とを設けることにより、通水路に供給された洗浄水は上端部表面全長において側方に溢水して上端部表面を水膜となって流れるので、上端部表面に付着している尿滴はこの水膜流で洗浄される。上端部表面から外周壁を流下する水膜流は、外周壁を通水路より下で内方下向きに引き込むことによりボール部周壁の全周に開口して設けた収水路に外周壁面との接触を保って収容され、排水系に導かれ、便器内面を洗浄した洗浄水とともに排出される。   The action of the fourth problem solving means is to supply the water passage by providing a water passage along the length of the upper end of the ball portion peripheral wall and an overflow opening that opens to the surface of the upper end in communication with the entire length of the water passage. The washed water overflowed laterally over the entire length of the upper end surface and flows as a water film on the upper end surface, so that the urine droplets adhering to the upper end surface are washed with this water film flow. The water film flow that flows down the outer peripheral wall from the upper end surface makes contact with the outer peripheral wall surface in the water collecting channel that opens to the entire circumference of the ball peripheral wall by drawing the outer peripheral wall downward and inward from the water channel. It is kept and stored, guided to the drainage system, and discharged with the wash water that washed the inner surface of the toilet.

第5の課題解決手段による作用は、収水路を、便器のボール部上端部を覆って着脱自在とした別体の取付上端部の外面から内面を貫通して設けたので、既存の便器のボール部上端部に取り付けて使用するアタッチメント形式に摘用し得る。   The action of the fifth problem solving means is that the water collecting channel is provided so as to penetrate the inner surface from the outer surface of the separate mounting upper end portion which covers the upper end portion of the bowl portion of the toilet bowl and is detachable. It can be used as an attachment type that is attached to the upper end of the unit.

本発明によれば、水洗小便器もしくは水洗大便器のボール部に洗浄水を供給する洗浄系と、ボール部から洗浄水を排水口より排出する排水系とよりなる水洗便器は、ボール部上端部の上面に付着した尿滴を水膜流として流下させる。この水膜流を外方に向けて流す場合、便器の外側に流れる水膜流は外周壁面に沿って流れた後、周壁上端面とほぼ平行に周壁のほぼ全周に亘って内方下向きに開口する収水路に外周壁面との接触を保って回収され、排水系に流されるから、水膜流が外周壁面から離れて床面に飛び散ることはない。好ましくは上端面から外周壁面にかけて親水性をもたせるとともに、外周壁に含まれる曲面は緩やかに連続する曲率でなるものとし、水膜流はより確実に外周壁面との接触を保って流下し、収水路に収容されるので、便器の周囲を濡らすことはない。また、ボール部周壁上端部に通水路を設け、その溢水口から洗浄水を溢水させれば、洗浄水膜流となって周壁上端面から内外周面の付着尿滴を洗浄し、外周面を流下した水膜流は収水路で回収される。   According to the present invention, a flush toilet comprising a flushing system that supplies flush water to a bowl part of a flush toilet or flush toilet and a drainage system that drains flush water from the ball part through a drain outlet includes an upper end of the ball part. The urine droplets adhering to the upper surface of the water flow down as a water film flow. When this water film flow is directed outward, the water film flow that flows outside the toilet flows along the outer peripheral wall surface, and then extends inward and downward over substantially the entire circumference of the peripheral wall substantially parallel to the upper end surface of the peripheral wall. The water collecting channel that is opened is collected while maintaining contact with the outer peripheral wall surface, and flows into the drainage system, so that the water film flow is not scattered from the outer peripheral wall surface to the floor surface. Preferably, hydrophilicity is imparted from the upper end surface to the outer peripheral wall surface, and the curved surface included in the outer peripheral wall has a gently continuous curvature, so that the water film flow flows more securely while maintaining contact with the outer peripheral wall surface. Since it is housed in a waterway, it does not get wet around the toilet. Also, if a water passage is provided at the upper end of the peripheral wall of the ball and the washing water is overflowed from the overflow port, the adhering urine droplets on the inner and outer peripheral surfaces are washed from the upper end surface of the peripheral wall to wash the outer peripheral surface. The falling water film flow is collected in the collecting channel.

以下、本発明の幾つかの実施例を図1〜図8に基づいて説明する。   Several embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

本発明による実施例1として、図1とその一部を拡大して示す図2に水洗小便器を示す。水洗小便器1は、概ね、使用者の前面に立設されて排尿を受ける受面部2と、その下方に連接される本体部分と使用者に向けて突き出す垂れ受部分とを含むボール部3とよりなる。受面部2の頂部には外部給水管(図示しない)に接続される給水部15を備え、ボール部3の最低位部分には排水口12が設けられ、トラップ13と、外部下水管(図示しない)に接続される排出口14とを含む排水管が排水口12に連接され、図示しない電磁弁装置により給水部15から配水される洗浄水により受面部2とボール部3の内面は洗浄され、洗浄後の洗浄水は排水口12から排水される。   As a first embodiment according to the present invention, FIG. 1 and an enlarged view of a part thereof are shown in FIG. The flush urinal 1 generally includes a receiving surface portion 2 that is erected on the front surface of the user and receives urination, a body portion that is connected to the lower portion thereof, and a ball portion 3 that includes a drooping receiving portion that protrudes toward the user. It becomes more. A water supply part 15 connected to an external water supply pipe (not shown) is provided at the top of the receiving surface part 2, and a drain port 12 is provided at the lowest part of the ball part 3, and a trap 13 and an external sewage pipe (not shown) are provided. The drain pipe including the discharge port 14 connected to the drain port 12 is connected to the drain port 12, and the inner surfaces of the receiving surface portion 2 and the ball portion 3 are cleaned by the cleaning water distributed from the water supply portion 15 by an electromagnetic valve device (not shown), The wash water after washing is drained from the drain port 12.

本実施例1の顕著な特徴をなすのは、ボール部3の垂れ受部分を取り囲む周壁4の構造であり、周壁4は従来の内方へ張出すリム部分を持たない上端部5を含む。この上端部5は、上面に曲面で連続し下降する外周壁5bと、やや大きい曲率で内方に引込まれる曲面でなる引込部分5cを介し壁内面に向けて下降傾斜する斜底面5dと、上面に曲面で連続して垂下して斜底面5dの内方下端と結合する内周壁5fとで構成される。この上端部5の斜底面5dとは間隔をおいて、斜底面5dとほぼ平行な斜面とした周壁端部を位置させ、周壁4の下端は曲面を介してボール部3の底壁11に連続する。斜底面5dと周壁端部との間の間隔は周壁端部の上端部分を収水開口8とし下端部分を収水出口10とする収水路9を形成し、収水路9は周壁4を貫通してその外面をその内面に、つまりボール部3の内部に連通する。この収水路9は溢水口6の長さに沿って、つまり上端部5のほぼ全長に亘って設けられるので、ボール部3は収水路9により上下に二分されることになる。その上方部分をなす上端部5はこの場合小便器の本体部分により片持ち梁形式で保持されるので、必要に応じ補強材を内蔵させる。あるいは、周壁4と上端部5は収水路9の周方向に間隔を置いた複数の柱体もしくは壁体(図示しない)により一体化しても良い。   The remarkable feature of the first embodiment is the structure of the peripheral wall 4 that surrounds the drooping receiving portion of the ball portion 3, and the peripheral wall 4 includes an upper end portion 5 that does not have a conventional rim portion projecting inward. The upper end portion 5 includes an outer peripheral wall 5b continuously descending with a curved surface on the upper surface, an inclined bottom surface 5d inclined downward toward the inner surface of the wall via a retraction portion 5c formed of a curved surface drawn inward with a slightly large curvature, It comprises an inner peripheral wall 5f that continuously hangs down on the upper surface in a curved surface and is coupled to the inner lower end of the inclined bottom surface 5d. The end of the peripheral wall that is a slope substantially parallel to the inclined bottom surface 5d is positioned at a distance from the inclined bottom surface 5d of the upper end portion 5, and the lower end of the peripheral wall 4 is continuous with the bottom wall 11 of the ball portion 3 via a curved surface. To do. The interval between the inclined bottom surface 5d and the peripheral wall end portion forms a water collecting passage 9 having a water collecting opening 8 at the upper end portion of the peripheral wall end portion and a water collecting outlet 10 at the lower end portion, and the water collecting passage 9 penetrates the peripheral wall 4. The outer surface communicates with the inner surface, that is, with the inside of the ball portion 3. Since the water collecting channel 9 is provided along the length of the overflow port 6, that is, substantially over the entire length of the upper end portion 5, the ball portion 3 is divided into two vertically by the water collecting channel 9. In this case, the upper end portion 5 constituting the upper portion is held in a cantilever form by the main body portion of the urinal, so that a reinforcing material is incorporated if necessary. Alternatively, the peripheral wall 4 and the upper end portion 5 may be integrated by a plurality of columns or walls (not shown) spaced in the circumferential direction of the water collecting channel 9.

なお、ここでは周壁4は従来の内方へ張出すリム部を持たない上端部5を含むものとしたが、リム部を持つ上端部、リム部内面に旋回水が供給される上端部、又はリム部内に設た通水路からボール部内面に通水する上端部と、上記の本発明の構成を組み合わせることも可能である。その場合、リム部は収水路9の上側と斜底面5dのと、下側、つまり周壁端部4aの上端部分のいずれに設けることも可能である。   Here, the peripheral wall 4 includes an upper end portion 5 that does not have a conventional inwardly extending rim portion, but an upper end portion having a rim portion, an upper end portion to which swirling water is supplied to the inner surface of the rim portion, or It is also possible to combine the above-described configuration of the present invention with an upper end portion that allows water to flow from the water passage provided in the rim portion to the inner surface of the ball portion. In that case, the rim portion can be provided on either the upper side of the water collecting channel 9, the inclined bottom surface 5d, or the lower side, that is, the upper end portion of the peripheral wall end portion 4a.

ここで、本実施例においてはボール部3の少なくとも外側上面と外周壁の表面を、臨界表面張力が20dyne/cm以上、望ましくは40dyne/cm以上の親水性材料、更に望ましくは光触媒粒子を含有することで臨界表面張力を20dyne/cm以上、望ましくは40dyne/cm以上とした親水性材料で形成する。したがって、上端部に付着した尿滴は、周壁上端の表面と高い濡れ特性をもって上端表面と密接して拡がり、薄い水膜となって上端表面を流れ、他の尿滴が付着していればこれを容易に剥離させて外周壁へ流下する。   Here, in this embodiment, at least the outer upper surface and the outer peripheral wall surface of the ball portion 3 contain a hydrophilic material having a critical surface tension of 20 dyne / cm or more, preferably 40 dyne / cm or more, and more preferably photocatalyst particles. Thus, a hydrophilic material having a critical surface tension of 20 dyne / cm or more, preferably 40 dyne / cm or more is formed. Therefore, the urine droplets adhering to the upper end part spread in close contact with the upper end surface with high wettability with the surface at the upper end of the peripheral wall, flow as a thin water film on the upper end surface, and other urine droplets adhere to this. Is easily peeled off and flows down to the outer peripheral wall.

親水性の表面材料の使用は、一般的にはボール部表面への汚物の付着を防止し、表面の洗浄と浄化を容易とするためであるが、本発明においては更に、外側上面から曲面を介して下降して外周壁5bを流下する水膜流が、流下方向変化の間にも外周壁5bの親水性によって壁面との密接状態を維持し、壁面から離脱して便器周辺に飛び散ることを防ぐためでもある。   The use of a hydrophilic surface material is generally for preventing dirt from adhering to the surface of the ball part and facilitating cleaning and purification of the surface. The water film flow descending and flowing down the outer peripheral wall 5b is maintained in close contact with the wall surface due to the hydrophilicity of the outer peripheral wall 5b during the change in the flow direction, and is separated from the wall surface and scattered around the toilet bowl. It is also to prevent.

図示の例では、周壁4の上端面と共に曲面で連続する外周壁5bと引込部分5cでなる周壁外面の表面形状は、上端面からの水膜流が周壁外面との接触を維持させるに充分な緩やかさを持って連続する曲面として形成される。連続する曲面が曲率を変化させる場合にも緩やかな変化であることが望ましく、いずれの場合にも、流下水膜流の表面張力と流量、更には外周壁表面材の臨界表面張力とで決まる流下水膜流先端と外周壁面とのなす接触角が0度に近い90度以下、つまり鋭角に保たれる必要がある。特に、外周壁面から引込状態に内方に引込まれる部分では、水膜流先端が外周壁面に沿って流れる方向のベクトルと水膜自体の重力ベクトルとの合成ベクトルが重力ベクトルを上回る範囲内で、曲面変化の方向と曲率とを設定する。それによって水膜流は上端部外周面から剥離して落下することなく収水路9に流入するから、上端部5の外周壁5bとその下方の周壁端部4aの外表面は同高面に配置できる。つまり、収水路9の収水開口8の下方縁を成す周壁端部4aは、上方から見て上端部の外周壁面より外に突き出ていない状態にすることができ、飛散尿滴により汚染されることを防ぐ。   In the illustrated example, the surface shape of the outer surface of the peripheral wall consisting of the outer peripheral wall 5b and the lead-in portion 5c continuous with the curved surface together with the upper end surface of the peripheral wall 4 is sufficient for the water film flow from the upper end surface to maintain contact with the outer peripheral wall surface. It is formed as a continuous curved surface with gentleness. It is desirable that the continuous curved surface change slowly even when the curvature changes. In any case, the flow is determined by the surface tension and flow rate of the falling water film flow, and the critical surface tension of the outer wall surface material. The contact angle between the water film flow tip and the outer peripheral wall surface needs to be maintained at an angle of 90 degrees or less, close to 0 degrees, that is, an acute angle. In particular, in the part that is drawn inward from the outer peripheral wall surface, the combined vector of the vector in the direction in which the tip of the water film flows along the outer peripheral wall surface and the gravity vector of the water film itself exceeds the gravity vector. Set the direction of curvature and curvature. As a result, the water film flow is separated from the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion and flows into the water collecting channel 9 without falling, so that the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall 5b of the upper end portion 5 and the outer surface of the peripheral wall end portion 4a below the same are arranged on the same surface. it can. That is, the peripheral wall end 4a that forms the lower edge of the water collection opening 8 of the water collection channel 9 can be in a state where it does not protrude outward from the outer peripheral wall surface of the upper end when viewed from above, and is contaminated by scattered urine droplets. To prevent that.

また、外周壁5bは、垂直面、膨らみ曲面、外向き又は内向き斜面のいずれとしても良いが、いずれの場合も、収水開口8の上方縁となる外周壁部分は上記の接触角を保つ曲率をもって内方に引込まれる部分であって、仮に水膜流がこの部分で外周壁面から剥離して落下しても、既に周壁端部4aの内側の傾斜面に落下することになる。   Further, the outer peripheral wall 5b may be any of a vertical surface, a bulging curved surface, an outward or inward inclined surface, but in any case, the outer peripheral wall portion serving as the upper edge of the water collection opening 8 maintains the above contact angle. Even if the water film flow is peeled off from the outer peripheral wall surface and falls at this portion, it is already dropped onto the inclined surface inside the peripheral wall end portion 4a.

上記のように構成した実施例1の水洗小便器1において、例えば給水部15の前面に備えた人体検知スイッチ(図示しない)が使用者の離間を検知し、給水用電磁弁が作動して給水部15に給水されると、あるいは給水部15に貯留した水が配水されると、その一部は受面部2の表面全般に拡散する洗浄水となり、他部はボール部周壁4の内面を洗う洗浄水となる。   In the flush toilet 1 of the first embodiment configured as described above, for example, a human body detection switch (not shown) provided on the front surface of the water supply unit 15 detects the separation of the user, and the water supply electromagnetic valve is activated to supply water. When water is supplied to the portion 15 or when the water stored in the water supply portion 15 is distributed, a part of the water becomes cleaning water that diffuses over the entire surface of the receiving surface portion 2, and the other portion cleans the inner surface of the ball portion peripheral wall 4. It becomes washing water.

上記構成においてボール部周壁4とその上端部5との間に形成される収水路9は、換言すれば、ボール部上端を形成する上部周壁500とボール部底部より立ち上がる下部周壁400との間に形成されている。要は、上部周壁500の最上面から、特に外周面に流れる尿滴を床に落下させることなく、後述の様に確実に収水開口8を介して収水路9に尿滴を導き、収水出口10からボール部3の内部に収容する構成の実現である。そのためには特に上部周壁500の断面形状と、外周壁5bと収水開口8もしくは下部周壁400の外方端部との位置関係が重要となる。その具体的な3種の実施形態を図2〜図4に示す。 In other words, the water collecting channel 9 formed between the ball portion peripheral wall 4 and the upper end portion 5 is, in other words, between the upper peripheral wall 500 forming the ball portion upper end and the lower peripheral wall 400 rising from the bottom of the ball portion. Is formed. The point is that the urine droplets flowing from the uppermost surface of the upper peripheral wall 500 to the water collecting channel 9 are surely guided to the water collecting channel 9 through the water collecting openings 8 without dropping the urine droplets flowing on the outer peripheral surface to the floor. It is realization of the structure accommodated in the inside of the ball | bowl part 3 from the exit 10. FIG. For that purpose, the cross-sectional shape of the upper peripheral wall 500 and the positional relationship between the outer peripheral wall 5b and the water collection opening 8 or the outer end of the lower peripheral wall 400 are important. Three specific embodiments thereof are shown in FIGS.

図2は代表的な実施形態を示し、上部周壁500は幅方向の略中央に最高部を位置させる山形上面を有する。その外側斜面はそれぞれ曲面で連続する外周壁5bと引込部分5cを経て、収水路9の上面をなす斜底面5dにつながる。山形上面の内側斜面はほぼ直線的な内周壁5fに連続し、その下端において斜底面5dの内側下端と合体する。望ましくは、外側斜面から引込部分5cにかけて親水性を持たせる。また、連続する外周壁5bと引込部分5cとは極端に変化する曲率半径でつなげることはせず、薄く拡がって外周壁面を流下する尿滴を剥離させることない。したがって山形上面の外側斜面に付いた尿滴は薄い水膜となって外周壁5bに至り、更に引込部分5cに沿って流下し、確実に収水路9内に収容され、ボール部内に導かれる。内側斜面に付いた尿滴は斜面に沿って内周壁5fに流れ、ボール部内に収容される。この実施形態の他の構成とその作用、効果は実施例1において図1および2について詳述したとおりである。   FIG. 2 shows a typical embodiment, in which the upper peripheral wall 500 has a chevron upper surface with the highest portion positioned substantially at the center in the width direction. The outer slope is connected to an inclined bottom surface 5d that forms the upper surface of the water collecting channel 9 through an outer peripheral wall 5b and a lead-in portion 5c that are continuous with curved surfaces. The inner slope of the upper surface of the chevron is continuous with the substantially straight inner peripheral wall 5f, and merges with the inner lower end of the oblique bottom 5d at its lower end. Desirably, hydrophilicity is imparted from the outer slope to the retracting portion 5c. Moreover, the continuous outer peripheral wall 5b and the drawing-in portion 5c are not connected with a curvature radius that changes extremely, and urine droplets that spread thinly and flow down the outer peripheral wall surface are not separated. Therefore, the urine droplets attached to the outer slope of the upper surface of the mountain shape become a thin water film, reach the outer peripheral wall 5b, and further flow down along the retracted portion 5c, and are reliably accommodated in the water collecting channel 9 and guided into the ball portion. Urine droplets attached to the inner slope flow along the slope to the inner peripheral wall 5f and are accommodated in the ball portion. Other configurations, operations, and effects of this embodiment are as described in detail with reference to FIGS.

図3の実施形態では、上端部上面は内周壁5fの上端を頂点とし、外周壁5bに向けて下降する傾斜面として設けられる。外周壁5bから収水路9に至る構成は上記図14の実施形態と同じである。従って外向き傾斜面とした上端部上面に落ちた尿滴は外周壁5bに流下し、収水路9を介してボール部内に運ばれる。   In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the upper surface of the upper end portion is provided as an inclined surface that has the upper end of the inner peripheral wall 5f as a vertex and descends toward the outer peripheral wall 5b. The configuration from the outer peripheral wall 5b to the water collecting channel 9 is the same as that in the embodiment of FIG. Accordingly, the urine droplets that have fallen on the upper surface of the upper end portion, which is an outwardly inclined surface, flow down to the outer peripheral wall 5 b and are carried into the ball portion via the water collecting channel 9.

図4の実施形態では、上端部上面は外周壁5bを略々垂直に立ち上げて適宜の高さ位置を頂点とし、内側の内周壁5fに向けて下降する傾斜面として設けられる。上部周壁外周面5bから収水路9に至る構成は上記図14の実施形態と同じである。従って内向き傾斜面とした上端面上面に落ちた尿滴は内周壁5fに流下し、ボール部内に収容される。外周壁5bの立ち上がり部分に付いた尿滴は外周壁面に沿って流下し、引込部分5cに流れ、収水路9を介してボール部内に運ばれる。   In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the upper surface of the upper end portion is provided as an inclined surface that rises up the outer peripheral wall 5b substantially vertically, has an appropriate height position, and descends toward the inner inner peripheral wall 5f. The configuration from the upper peripheral wall outer peripheral surface 5b to the water collecting passage 9 is the same as that of the embodiment of FIG. Accordingly, the urine drop that has fallen on the upper surface of the upper end surface that is an inwardly inclined surface flows down to the inner peripheral wall 5f and is accommodated in the ball portion. The urine droplets attached to the rising portion of the outer peripheral wall 5b flow down along the outer peripheral wall surface, flow into the drawing-in portion 5c, and are carried into the ball portion through the water collecting channel 9.

なお、上記した実施形態の図2〜図4においては上部周壁500を中空体として図示したが、中空体に限定されるものではない。一方、例えば水洗式大便器ではこの部分に人体の荷重がかかるので、収水路9によって周壁4から分離された上部周壁500を支持するために、便器後部本体から片持ち梁構造体のアームなどを上端部内に通すこともできる。   2 to 4 of the above-described embodiment, the upper peripheral wall 500 is illustrated as a hollow body, but is not limited to the hollow body. On the other hand, for example, in a flush toilet, a load on the human body is applied to this portion. Therefore, in order to support the upper peripheral wall 500 separated from the peripheral wall 4 by the water collecting channel 9, an arm of the cantilever structure is attached from the toilet main body. It can also be passed through the upper end.

図5に示す実施例2は水洗小便器に係り、実施例1と異なる点は、実施例1では上部周壁500と下部周壁400とが略上下の位置関係にあるに対して、本実施例2では、上部周壁外周面の下端が下部周壁内周面よりボール部内側でかつ下部周壁上端面より下方に配置されることであり、この位置関係において、収水路9の収水開口8を区画する下部周壁400の上端縁は、外周壁5bの直下位置よりボール部内方の側にあり、望ましくは親水性を付与した外周壁5bに沿って流下する尿滴を確実に収容すると同時に、下部周壁400の上端部が外周壁5bより前方に突出しないことにより、排尿時に飛散する落下尿滴は上部周壁上端面で補足され下部周壁に汚染が及ばない配置となる。さらに外周壁5bを流下する尿滴の流下を妨げない幅の隙間を開けて下部周壁400を配置することで上部周壁外周面を流下する尿滴を確実に収水路内に導き、使用者に違和感を与えない。   The second embodiment shown in FIG. 5 relates to a flush toilet. The difference from the first embodiment is that, in the first embodiment, the upper peripheral wall 500 and the lower peripheral wall 400 are in a substantially vertical positional relationship, while the second embodiment. Then, the lower end of the outer peripheral surface of the upper peripheral wall is disposed on the inner side of the ball portion than the inner peripheral surface of the lower peripheral wall and below the upper end surface of the lower peripheral wall. In this positional relationship, the water collecting opening 8 of the water collecting passage 9 is defined. The upper end edge of the lower peripheral wall 400 is located on the inner side of the ball part from the position directly below the outer peripheral wall 5b, and desirably accommodates urine drops flowing down along the outer peripheral wall 5b imparted with hydrophilicity, and at the same time. Since the upper end of the urine does not protrude forward from the outer peripheral wall 5b, the dropped urine droplets scattered during urination are captured by the upper end surface of the upper peripheral wall, and the lower peripheral wall is not contaminated. Furthermore, by arranging a lower peripheral wall 400 with a gap that does not hinder the flow of urine drops flowing down the outer peripheral wall 5b, the urine drops flowing down the outer peripheral surface of the upper peripheral wall are reliably guided into the water collection channel, and the user feels uncomfortable. Not give.

上記の広幅板状の上部周壁500の下半部を下部周壁内周面よりボール部内側でかつ下部周壁上端面より下方に上部周壁外周面を流下する尿滴の流下を妨げない幅の隙間を開けて配置されることは、水洗大便器に適用したとき顕著な効果を示す。特に従来の構造を有する水洗大便器に着座して排尿した場合、排尿は使用者から見て正面の便器前方部分のボール部内周面に当たり、一部がボール部上端面と便座の下面との間の隙間から外周面に流れ、外周面とトイレの床が汚染される。本実施例の周壁の配置でも便座と上部周壁の隙間からの漏れる尿滴の周壁外周面への流下は防止できないが、漏れが生じても本発明による収水路9が確実に漏れた尿をボール部内もしくは排水系内に収容するから、床の汚染は防止される。また、便器の内側から見れば、内周壁5fは下部周壁上端面と収水出口10を内側から覆っているので、着座位置での排尿が収水路9を逆流するようなことはない。   A gap having a width that does not prevent the flow of urine droplets flowing down the outer peripheral surface of the upper peripheral wall below the inner peripheral surface of the lower peripheral wall from the inner peripheral surface of the lower peripheral wall and below the upper end surface of the lower peripheral wall. Opening and placement is significant when applied to flush toilets. In particular, when urinating while sitting on a flush toilet having a conventional structure, the urination hits the inner peripheral surface of the ball part in the front part of the front toilet as viewed from the user, and a part of the urine is between the upper end surface of the ball part and the lower surface of the toilet seat. It flows from the gap to the outer peripheral surface, and the outer peripheral surface and the toilet floor are contaminated. Even with the arrangement of the peripheral wall of this embodiment, the urine droplets leaking from the gap between the toilet seat and the upper peripheral wall cannot be prevented from flowing down to the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall. Contamination of the floor is prevented because it is housed in the department or in the drainage system. Further, when viewed from the inside of the toilet, the inner peripheral wall 5f covers the lower peripheral wall upper end surface and the water collection outlet 10 from the inner side, so that urination at the sitting position does not flow backward through the water collection channel 9.

図6は実施例3として、図5の実施例2における収水路構成に類似する別の収水路構成を示す。この場合、略板状の上部周壁500はむしろ図1の実施例1におけるように下部周壁400と上下の位置関係にあるが、上部周壁500は平面もしくは緩やかに連続する凸型曲面に形成され、上部周壁の下端5gが下部周壁上端面上に位置する様に設置される。したがって収水開口8に位置する下部周壁上端4dは上部周壁500の外周壁面5bの略々直下になり、仮に緩曲面でなる外周壁から尿滴が剥離して落下しても、尿滴は収水路9の斜面上に捕らえられることになる。この構成は小便器と大便器のいずれにも採用できる。   FIG. 6 shows another water collecting channel configuration similar to the water collecting channel configuration in the second embodiment shown in FIG. In this case, the substantially plate-like upper peripheral wall 500 is in a vertical positional relationship with the lower peripheral wall 400 as in the first embodiment of FIG. 1, but the upper peripheral wall 500 is formed as a flat or gently curved convex curved surface, It is installed so that the lower end 5g of the upper peripheral wall is located on the upper end surface of the lower peripheral wall. Therefore, the lower peripheral wall upper end 4d located at the water collection opening 8 is almost directly below the outer peripheral wall surface 5b of the upper peripheral wall 500, and even if the urine drops are peeled off from the outer peripheral wall having a gently curved surface, the urine drops are collected. It will be captured on the slope of the waterway 9. This configuration can be used for both urinals and urinals.

図7の実施例4は水洗小便器に係り、この小便器が実施例3のものと異なるのは、ボール部3の開口を囲む周壁の上端部を形成する上部周壁500が、周壁外周面を流下する尿滴を、洗浄水の排水に支障を来たさない高さ位置において側面を開口させた排水系外周壁面4bによる外壁と、上部周壁500およびボール部底壁11による内壁との二重・BR>\造でなる収水路9で確実に収容し、トラップ通口13Aに運ぶ点で床を汚さず、作用、効果は全く上記各実施例と同じある。   Example 4 of FIG. 7 relates to a flush urinal. This urinal is different from that of Example 3 in that an upper peripheral wall 500 that forms the upper end of the peripheral wall surrounding the opening of the ball portion 3 has a peripheral wall outer peripheral surface. The outer wall of the drainage system outer peripheral wall 4b whose side faces are opened at a height that does not interfere with the drainage of the wash water, and the inner wall of the upper peripheral wall 500 and the ball part bottom wall 11 -It is contained in the water collecting channel 9 made of BR> \ and it is transported to the trap passage 13A, so that the floor is not soiled, and the operation and effect are the same as those of the above embodiments.

図8の実施例5は水洗大便器に係り、上端部外周壁を流下する尿滴を確実に収水路29内に収容し、ボール部内に回収して床を汚さない点は、上記各実施例と全く同じである。   The fifth embodiment of FIG. 8 relates to a flush toilet, and the urine droplets flowing down the outer peripheral wall of the upper end portion are surely accommodated in the water collecting passage 29 and collected in the ball portion so that the floor is not soiled. Is exactly the same.

図9の実施例6は水洗小便器に係り、全体として実施例1の水洗小便器と同様の構成を有し、その説明も共通するが、本実施例の特徴はボール部3の周壁4の上端部5が、幅方向のほぼ中央において上方向に開口しかつ上端部5のほぼ全長に延設される溢水口6と、上端部5のほぼ全長の内部を中空にし、溢水口6の下端と連通させて形成した通水路7とを備えることであり、上端部上端面は溢水口6の外側の山形上面に曲面で連続して下降する外周壁と、やや大きい曲率で内方に引き込まれる曲面でなる引込部分とを介して、実施例1で前述した収水路9に連なる。   Example 6 of FIG. 9 relates to a flush urinal and has the same configuration as the flush urinal of Example 1 as a whole, and the description is also common, but the feature of this example is that of the peripheral wall 4 of the ball portion 3. The upper end 5 has an overflow opening 6 that is open upward at substantially the center in the width direction and extends substantially the entire length of the upper end portion 5; The upper end surface of the upper end portion is drawn inward with a slightly larger curvature and an outer peripheral wall continuously descending in a curved surface on the upper surface of the mountain shape outside the overflow port 6. It connects with the water collection channel 9 mentioned above in Example 1 through the drawing-in part which consists of a curved surface.

受面部2の頂部の給水部15から、例えば受面部2の側壁内部に設けた給水路16を介して通水路7の一端または両端に供給された洗浄水は溢水口6の全長の側縁を越えて溢水する。この場合、溢水口6を上端部5の上面の幅方向の中央にし、内外の上面半部を対称に設ければ、溢水も周壁の内外において均等に生じる。ボール部周壁上端部の内側へ溢水した洗浄水は水膜流となって内周壁を洗浄して流下し、内周壁下端からボール部の内周面に落下する。上端部外側へ溢水した洗浄水は外側上面半部に沿って、その親水性により隈なく水膜を形成して流れ、緩やかな曲線で連続する外周壁と引込部分に沿って流下して収水路9に入り、ボール部内周面に運ばれる。かくして水洗小便器の排水系の一部をなすボール部周壁上端部の外面を洗った洗浄水は、同様に上端部内面を洗った洗浄水とボール部3内部で合流し、排水口12とトラップ13を経て排出口14から排出される。   The wash water supplied from one water supply part 15 at the top of the receiving surface part 2 to one end or both ends of the water flow path 7 through, for example, a water supply path 16 provided inside the side wall of the receiving surface part 2 has a full side edge of the overflow port 6. It overflows beyond it. In this case, if the overflow port 6 is set to the center in the width direction of the upper surface of the upper end portion 5 and the inner and outer upper surface halves are provided symmetrically, the overflow also occurs uniformly on the inside and outside of the peripheral wall. The washing water overflowing to the inner side of the upper end of the ball portion peripheral wall becomes a water film flow, cleans and flows down the inner peripheral wall, and falls from the lower end of the inner peripheral wall to the inner peripheral surface of the ball portion. The washing water overflowing to the outside of the upper end flows along the half of the upper surface of the outer surface, forming a water film due to its hydrophilicity, and flows down along the outer peripheral wall and the lead-in portion that continue with a gentle curve. 9 is carried to the inner peripheral surface of the ball part. Thus, the wash water that has washed the outer surface of the upper end of the peripheral wall of the ball part that forms part of the drainage system of the flush urinal merges with the wash water in which the inner surface of the upper end is washed and the ball part 3 in the same way. 13 and discharged from the discharge port 14.

図10の実施例7においては、本発明は既存のストール型水洗小便器の垂れ受け部分におけるボール部の上端部に対して着脱自在なアタッチメント形式に適用され、全体として断面をほぼ逆U字形に形成されて小便器のボール部上端部に載置して使用される。この場合、ボール部上端部Rとしていわゆるリムレス形式のものを示し、本発明の特徴を備える取付上端部M2は上面65に曲面をもって連続する外周壁65aを流下する尿滴水膜流をボール部内面に導く収水路69を有する。外周壁65bは少なくとも表面部分が親水性表面材で形成された曲面をもって引込部分65cに連続し、収水開口68に至る。この収水開口68に収容された外周壁65bからの水膜流は収水路69を流れ、収水出口70を介してボール部内面に流れる。収水路69の下部は外壁脚71と内壁脚72を備え、これら両脚でボール部上端部Rに跨って取付上端部M2は載置される。   In Example 7 of FIG. 10, this invention is applied to the attachment form which can be attached or detached with respect to the upper end part of the ball | bowl part in the drooping receiving part of the existing stall type flush toilet, and the cross section is made into a substantially inverted U shape as a whole. It is formed and placed on the upper end of the ball portion of the urinal. In this case, a so-called rimless type is shown as the ball portion upper end portion R, and the attachment upper end portion M2 having the features of the present invention causes the urine droplet water film flow flowing down the outer peripheral wall 65a having a curved surface on the upper surface 65 to the inner surface of the ball portion. It has a collecting channel 69 that leads. The outer peripheral wall 65 b has a curved surface formed at least on the surface with a hydrophilic surface material and continues to the drawing-in portion 65 c to reach the water collection opening 68. The water film flow from the outer peripheral wall 65 b accommodated in the water collection opening 68 flows through the water collection channel 69 and flows through the water collection outlet 70 to the inner surface of the ball portion. The lower part of the water collecting channel 69 includes an outer wall leg 71 and an inner wall leg 72, and the mounting upper end M2 is placed across the ball part upper end R with these both legs.

以上説明した全実施例1〜7を通じて、本発明の特徴を備える水洗便器ないし取付上端部を構成する材料は、陶器、合成樹脂、金属のいずれでも良いが、いずれの材料による場合もボール部周壁の上端部の少なくとも上面から、または上端部頂面から、外周壁を経て収水開口にいたる部分は記載した所望の親水性を備える材料、あるいは所望の親水性を持たせる表面加工を施したものを用いることが望ましい。   Through all the embodiments 1 to 7 described above, the material constituting the flush toilet or the mounting upper end having the characteristics of the present invention may be any of pottery, synthetic resin, and metal. The portion from the top surface of the upper end portion to the water collection opening from the top surface of the upper end portion, through the outer peripheral wall to the water collection opening, or the material having the desired hydrophilicity or a surface treatment that has the desired hydrophilicity is applied. It is desirable to use

上述したように本発明による水洗便器は、小便器ならびに大便器を含めて、従来は水洗洗浄水によっては洗浄されず、使用の都度飛散尿滴による汚れが蓄積するボール部周壁の上端部を、尿滴が水膜流となって上端部内外周壁に沿って流下してボール部ないし排水系に収容可能な構成としたから、一般家庭用としてのみならず、あらゆる種類の公共的施設における水洗便器として使用すれば、衛生面と人的清掃作業の軽減における利用価値はきわめて大きい。洗浄水の使用量を見ても、従来のボール部のリムへの通水による内面洗浄水と同程度あるいはそれ以下となりうるから、経済性は保たれる。また洗浄水を用いて内外周壁流下の尿滴を洗浄しても、ボール部内もしくは排水系内に収容可能であるため、大幅に便器廻りの清掃性を改善する。   As described above, the flush toilet according to the present invention, including urinals and toilets, is not conventionally washed with flush washing water, and the upper end of the peripheral wall of the ball portion where dirt due to scattered urine drops accumulates every time it is used. Since the urine droplets flow into the water film and flow along the inner peripheral wall of the upper end and can be accommodated in the ball or drainage system, the toilet bowl is used not only for general households but also in all kinds of public facilities. As such, the utility value in reducing hygiene and human cleaning work is extremely high. Even if the amount of the cleaning water used is viewed, the economic efficiency is maintained because it can be the same as or less than the conventional inner surface cleaning water by passing water through the rim of the ball portion. Moreover, even if the urine droplets flowing down the inner and outer peripheral walls are washed with washing water, they can be accommodated in the ball part or in the drainage system, so that the cleaning performance around the toilet is greatly improved.
