Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet cabinet, and more particularly to a toilet cabinet that prevents a power plug from falling off.

  In recent years, a toilet system equipped with various functional units including a warm water washing toilet seat has been proposed. In such a toilet system, in order to operate the functional unit, it is necessary to connect a power source, and it is very common to provide a power outlet in the toilet room.

On the other hand, there is a high possibility that water will scatter in the toilet room. If the power outlet is exposed, there is a risk of water splashing on the outlet. For this reason, a power outlet is provided in the toilet cabinet and concealed. (For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2)
Also, in a toilet with an unspecified number of users, if the power outlet is exposed, there is a danger of being mischievously damaged and causing an accident such as an electric shock. In order to avoid this, the outlet is concealed in the cabinet.
However, when the power outlet is concealed, there is a problem that it is difficult to notice when the power plug is dropped or half inserted.

In addition, the toilet cabinet contains the water supply and drainage pipes as well as the electrical wiring. When the toilet bowl is washed, vibrations derived from the water flow in the pipes are repeatedly generated, so that the power plug is easily loosened. As a means for solving such a problem, a commonly used power plug fixing structure (for example, Patent Document 3) is conceivable. However, when the power plug is fixed by such means, an emergency situation is considered. When it is necessary to remove the power plug, it becomes difficult to insert and remove the power plug by inserting a hand into a narrow toilet cabinet.
Further, when the shape of the power plug is different, there is a need to separately prepare a locking member that matches the shape.

It is a front enlarged view which shows the power outlet 8 vicinity of this invention. It is a side surface enlarged view which shows the power outlet 8 vicinity of this invention. 3 is an enlarged side view showing a positional relationship between the power outlet 8, the outlet fixing plate 12, and the power cord 10. FIG.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of a cabinet 14 according to the present invention. A toilet 1 is attached to a cabinet frame 7, and a warm water flush toilet seat 2 is attached to the upper part of the toilet 1. A cabinet finishing panel 3 is attached to the cabinet frame 7 to constitute a cabinet 14.
Inside the cabinet 14, a water supply pipe 4, a drain ventilation pipe 5, a flash valve 6, and the like are stored and concealed.

  A power outlet 8 is provided on the outlet fixing plate 12 provided in the cabinet frame 7. The power outlet 8 is connected to electrical indoor wiring, and by inserting an outlet plug 9 attached to the tip of the power cord 10 into the outlet 8, power is supplied to the warm water flush toilet seat.

  The power cord 10 taken out from the back surface of the warm water washing toilet seat 2 passes through the cabinet finishing panel 3 and is drawn into the cabinet 14.

FIG. 2 shows a front view of the cabinet 14 according to the present invention. Here, for the sake of explanation, the cabinet finishing panels 3 on the left and right sides of the toilet installation part are omitted.
The power cord 10 drawn into the inside of the cabinet 14 has the outlet plug 9 at the tip thereof inserted and connected to the power outlet 8. At this time, the vicinity of the outlet plug 9 of the power cord 10 is locked by a power cord locking band 11 in a hole provided in a part of the outlet fixing plate 12.
As a result, the outlet plug 9 is prevented from falling off from the power outlet 8 at the same time, and at the same time, the outlet plug 9 itself is not fixed, so that it can be easily removed when intentionally removing it.

  Further, by providing the power outlet 8 in the left and right direction of the power cord outlet position of the warm water washing toilet seat 2, even when the outlet plug 9 is inserted, the warm water washing toilet seat 2 can be pulled forward by cleaning or the like. Consideration is given so that a force that causes the outlet plug 9 to be disconnected from the power outlet 8 does not work.

FIG. 3A shows an enlarged front view in the vicinity of the power outlet 8. FIG.3 (b) is AA sectional drawing of Fig.3 (a).
The power cord locking band 11 has an adjusting function for adjusting the fixed diameter so that power cords of various diameters can be fixed regardless of the diameter of the power cord 10.

FIG. 4A shows an enlarged side view in the vicinity of the power outlet 8. The power cord 10 is fixed near the outlet plug 9 to the lower side of the outlet 8 of the outlet fixing plate 12 by a power cord locking band 11.
As shown in FIG. 4 (b), by securing the power cord 10 with a certain distance from the outlet plug 9, when the outlet plug 9 is unplugged from the power outlet 8, the outlet plug 9 is lowered by its own weight. It hangs down. At this time, since the power cord 10 is fixed to the outlet fixing plate 12, only the outlet plug 9 hangs downward.
Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the outlet plug 9 from naturally returning to the vicinity of the power outlet 8 due to the rigidity of the power cord 10 and being half inserted.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5C, the outlet fixing plate 12 may be straightened and the power cord 10 may be bent and fixed by the power cord locking band 11.
As shown in FIG. 4A, it is more preferable that the front positions of the power outlet 8 and the power cord locking band 11 are substantially flush. As a result, the power cord 10 can be fixed without being bent, and stress can be prevented from being constantly applied.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5A, the outlet fixing plate 12 is divided into upper and lower parts and each can be adjusted in the front-rear direction. 11 can be made substantially flush with each other.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, processing for attaching the band is performed on the upper and lower outlet fixing plates 13 so that the position of the power cord locking band 11 is not too far from the outlet plug 9. Thus, regardless of the shape and size of the outlet plug 8, the power cord 10 can be held at a position where it can be prevented from coming off.
