Description

  The present invention relates to a bathroom dryer attached in a state of being embedded in a ceiling of a bathroom.

  According to the law concerning the long-term use product safety inspection system that will be enforced from 2009, the product label with the product serial number and the month of manufacture should be affixed to a position where the user of the product can visually check. It is prescribed. For this reason, even in a bathroom dryer installed in a bathroom, it is necessary to stick a product label at a position where it can be seen from the outside. However, a bathroom dryer generally has a dryer body fixed in a state of being embedded in a ceiling, and a grill cover as a decorative cover is detachably mounted on the bathroom side as a lower surface thereof. For this reason, the dryer body that needs to be pasted with the product label will be covered with the grill cover, so that users in the bathroom cannot see the product label attached to the dryer body. turn into. Therefore, in order to comply with the law, it is required that the product label having the same content as the product label attached to the dryer body is also attached to the grill cover.

  This point will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 10 of Patent Document 1 in which the structure of a general bathroom dryer is disclosed. As shown in FIG. 10, a main body case 91 is fixed by anchor bolts 95 to the upper floor constituting the ceiling so as to cover the lower surface of the main body case 91 facing the opening provided in the ceiling 93 constituting the bathroom BR. A grill cover 92 is provided. For this reason, the main body case 91 to which the product label based on the long-term use product safety inspection system needs to be attached becomes invisible from the bathroom BR side due to the presence of the grill cover 92. Therefore, in order to comply with the laws of the long-term use product safety check system, a product label that contains the same product information as the product label attached to the main body case 91 is separately provided so that the product label can be seen from the bathroom BR side. The need to affix also to the grill cover 92 has arisen.

  By the way, the installation work of the bathroom dryer in the construction work of a new house is done by first removing the grill cover from the dryer body and storing the grill cover separately, and constructing only the dryer body without the grill cover attached to the ceiling. After the installation of the interior of the bathroom, piping and electrical work for the ceiling of the bathroom, etc., the bathroom is substantially completed, the grill cover is attached to the dryer body. Is common. In this way, the attachment time of the dryer body and the attachment time of the grill cover are significantly different from each other. If the grill cover is attached first, various constructions cannot be performed, or the grill cover that is a decorative cover is damaged. This is because there is a risk of causing a problem such as a problem.

JP 2004-150717 A

  In adapting the bathroom dryer to the long-term use product safety check system that will be enforced from 2009, a new problem has been discovered that will significantly reduce the workability in the construction of a newly built apartment house. The present invention has been made to solve the problem.

  Specifically, the items on the product label that are affixed to the dryer body of the bathroom dryer are the same for each dryer body, but the product number and the like differ for each dryer body. Every description is different. Therefore, the product label of the dryer main body attached to each door and the product label of the grill cover attached to the dryer main body must be completely paired.

  Here, as described above, the attachment time of the dryer main body and the attachment time of the grill cover are largely deviated due to construction and the like. In the case of a detached house, there is only one bathroom dryer in the first place, so there is no problem when the grill cover is attached to make a pair with the dryer body. However, in apartments where the number of units often exceeds 100 units, when attaching the grill cover to the dryer body that was previously installed in the bathroom of each unit after completing the bathroom, From the enormous number of grill covers, you must search for a grill cover that has the same product label as the product label that is attached to the dryer body, and attach the grill cover so that it is completely paired. Therefore, a great deal of labor and time is spent on the collation between the product label of the dryer main body and the product label of the grill cover. In addition, if a grill cover that is not paired with the dryer main body is mistakenly attached, there arises a problem that inspection based on the long-term inspection method cannot be performed, which is a new problem.

  The present invention, in response to such a problem specific to the new bathroom dryer, conforms to the laws related to the long-term use product safety inspection system, improves the efficiency of construction work of apartment houses, and makes mounting mistakes that make a pair difference. It is devised so that it can provide a bathroom dryer with extremely high practicality that will never cause any problems.

The present invention is a bathroom dryer in which a dryer body is fixed to a ceiling constituting a bathroom, and a grill cover that covers the dryer body is detachably mounted on the indoor side of the bathroom.
Corresponding to the product label of the grill cover so that the product label fixed to the portion of the dryer body facing the bathroom side is visible from the bathroom side with the grill cover attached to the dryer body. An opening is provided at a position.

  With such a configuration, the product label fixed to the portion of the dryer body facing the bathroom side becomes visible from the bathroom side through the opening provided in the grill cover, so it is related to the long-term use product safety inspection system. Can comply with the law. In addition, there is no product label on the grill cover, and the product label is fixed only to the dryer body, which eliminates the need for product label verification when attaching the grill cover to the dryer body. No special consideration is required for the combination of the dryer body and grill cover in the construction, the construction work can be made more efficient, and problems due to mounting errors will never occur.

  According to the aspect of Claim 2, since the said product label is being fixed with respect to the grill attachment member which comprises the said dryer main body, a grill cover and a product label are fixed to the same grill attachment member; Therefore, the alignment accuracy of the product label and the opening of the grill cover can be increased. In addition, since the positioning accuracy is increased, it is possible to suppress the opening of the grill cover from being unnecessarily large. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the design of the grill cover, which is a decorative member, and to reduce the appearance of the product. Can also be suppressed.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the opening provided in the grill cover is configured as a simple through hole without a transparent cover, after 10 years stipulated in the law for long-term use product safety inspection system This inspection is designed to prevent poor visibility by suppressing the adhesion of dirt to the product label over a long period of 10 years.

  Specifically, in a bathroom dryer, a large negative pressure is generated in the dryer body due to the suction of the built-in blower fan. However, in a form that does not pass through the filter, it is sucked into the internal space with dirt from the gaps and openings of various parts existing in the grill cover other than the intake port, and not only the gaps and openings but also the inside is stained. A situation arises where the problem is unavoidable. Therefore, when a transparent cover is attached to the opening of the grill cover, which is the viewing port for the product label provided this time, the transparent cover can be soiled from the inside, and the product label can be reliably viewed for 10 years. Therefore, in order to visually recognize the product label, there arises a problem that the transparent cover must be frequently cleaned.

  Therefore, in the invention described in claim 3, since the transparent cover is not provided in the opening of the grill cover, the visibility of the product label is ensured, and even if the product label becomes dirty, the grill cover is removed and cleaned. Therefore, it is possible to ensure visibility by simply putting a finger into the opening from the front side and wiping off the dirt.

  According to the aspect of Claim 4, the attachment base of the shape corresponding to the said opening is fixed to the said dryer main body side, and the said product label is fixed to the said attachment base. With this configuration, the opening of the grill cover and the position of the product label can be easily matched, and the product label is located behind the grill cover, so that the visibility of the product label deteriorates. Can be solved.

  In addition, when attaching the grill cover to the dryer body, the position of the dryer body and grill cover is regulated by this mounting base, so there is no problem that the product label cannot be seen due to misalignment, etc. It is possible to achieve an extremely practical effect that there is no need to be aware of the position of the product label.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the mounting base has a tip shape that is substantially flush with the surface of the grill cover, so that in addition to the effect of the fourth aspect, the opening provided in the grill cover is apparently eliminated. Therefore, the design property can be improved. Further, even if the product label becomes dirty within the year of 10 years, it is not necessary to put a finger into the opening for cleaning, and the product label can be kept clean at the same time as the grill cover is cleaned. Furthermore, even if air is sucked from the opening due to the suction of the previous blower fan, the air is sucked from the peripheral edge of the product label. It is possible to reliably solve the problem of smearing information.

  According to the aspect of the present invention, since the mounting base is formed in the same color as the grill cover, it is possible to further improve the appearance and to fix the product label to the mounting base. There is no.

  According to the aspect of Claim 7, the said product label is fixed to the position corresponding to the said opening of the said dryer main body, the cover member which consists of a transparent member of the shape corresponding to the said opening is fixed to a dryer main body, and the said Since the product label is covered, damage to the product label and adhesion of dirt can be reliably prevented, and, as in claim 4, the workability is improved and the dirt can be easily removed. Further, if the refraction of light by the transparent member is used, the display of the product label can be enlarged to improve the visibility. Furthermore, it is effective for improving the appearance.

  According to the aspect of the present invention, since the vertical wall rib integrally formed with the grill cover is provided at least on the circulation suction port side of the opening, air is sucked in a form that does not pass through the filter due to filter dirt. Even if there is, since the vertical wall rib integrally molded with the grill cover is provided at least on the circulation suction port side of the opening, it is possible to avoid a situation in which air is sucked in a state where the product label is soiled, The visibility of product labels can be maintained with a simple configuration.

  According to the aspect of the ninth aspect, since the groove portion that fits the vertical wall rib is formed in the dryer main body, the air blocking function is further enhanced by the fitting of the vertical wall rib and the groove portion, and the air suction The problem that the product label is soiled with the action can be surely solved.

  According to the present invention, it conforms to the laws pertaining to the long-term use product safety check system, improves the efficiency of construction work of apartment buildings, and does not cause the problem of pair differences caused by mistakes in mounting the grill cover. A high quality bathroom dryer can be provided.
