Below, with reference to FIGS. 1-7, the effect | action of the flush toilet by embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
First, as shown in FIG. 3, the body portion 4 and the rim portion 6 are bonded by the bonding process in the manufacturing process of the flush toilet 1, and the lower surface of the outer peripheral end portion 28 a of the flat portion 28 of the rim portion 6 is the body portion. 4 is joined to the upper surface of the upper end 18 d of the outer wall 18, and the lower surface of the lower end 30 a of the rim inner wall 30 of the rim 6 is joined to the upper surface of the upper end 22 a of the body inner wall 22.
After the joining, as shown in FIG. 7A, in the firing step of the manufacturing process of the flush toilet 1, the external surface 18a of the outer wall 18 on the front side of the trunk 4 shown in FIG. 1 is inclined at an inclination angle α (inclination angle β with respect to the floor surface F), the upper end portion 18 d of the outer wall portion 18 of the trunk portion 4 is the outer periphery of the flat portion 28 of the rim portion 6. Due to the load received from the end portion 28a and the weight of the outer wall portion 18a, a force f1 is applied to the outer wall portion 18a so as to fall down in the outward direction (forward).

Next, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), in the state from the firing of the manufacturing process of the flush toilet 1 to the end of the firing, the horizontal component f2 of the force f1 due to the weight of the outer wall portion 18a is the first. Deformation force that is transmitted to the connecting portion 24, and tries to displace the leg base end portion 32 of the body inner wall portion 22 connected to the body inner wall portion side end 24 b of the connecting portion 24 to the front side. T1 acts.
Then, a portion 36 between the base end portion 32 of the leg portion 34 of the trunk portion inner wall portion 22 and the base end 30b of the lower end portion 30a of the rim inner wall portion 30 shown in FIG. 7B is caused by this deformation force T1. Inclining in the counterclockwise direction (see arrow C in FIG. 7B) with respect to the vertical line L2 starting from the base end 30b that is the base of the lower end 30a of the rim inner wall 30 Deformation can be easily taken. Therefore, such deformation of the portion 36 can perform an interference function that reduces the load applied to the joint Q.

  Here, in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the distances in the front-rear direction formed between the first connecting portion 24 and the leg portion 34 are respectively indicated by symbols d2 and d3. 7 (b), the distance d3 between the first connecting portion 24 and the leg portion 34 is shown in FIG. 7 (a) due to the flexible deformation of the leg portion 34 during the firing from the firing shown in FIG. 7 (b). Although it is larger than the distance d2 between the first connecting portion 24 and the leg portion 34 during firing, the joint Q in the flush toilet 1 in the fired state is cracked and broken, resulting in a loss of merchantability. It will never be.

  According to the flush toilet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall portion 18 on the front side of the trunk portion 4 is inclined with respect to the vertical surface V of the flush toilet 1 in order to improve ease of use and appearance. In the manufacturing process of the flush toilet 1 having a structure in which the outer wall portion side 24a of the first connecting portion 24 of the trunk portion 4 is inclined with respect to the external surface 18a of the outer wall portion 18 of the trunk portion 4, FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, when the body 4 and the rim 6 are joined and fired, the outer wall 18 on the front side of the body 4 that is inclined with respect to the floor surface F of the flush toilet 1 is caused by its own weight. A force f <b> 1 that tends to fall in the outer direction (front direction) is transmitted to the first connecting portion 24 of the body portion 4. However, at the joint portion Q between the upper end portion 22a of the leg portion 34 of the trunk inner wall portion 22 and the lower end portion 30a of the rim inner wall portion 30, the leg portion 34 and the lower end portion 30a are bonded in a state of having a crushing margin. Therefore, the adhesive strength of the joint portion Q is improved. In addition, the peripheral portion of the joint portion Q between the upper end portion 22a of the leg portion 34 of the trunk portion inner wall portion 22 and the lower end portion 30a of the rim inner wall portion 30 is flexibly deformed so that the joint portion Q is not cut. Following this, the position of the joint Q can be moved. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of breakage at the joint portion Q between the upper end portion 22a of the leg portion 34 of the trunk portion inner wall portion 22 and the lower end portion 20a of the rim inner wall portion 30. Moreover, since the repair operation | work at the time of a cutting | disconnection generate | occur | producing in the manufacturing process of the flush toilet 1 becomes unnecessary, manufacturability can be improved.

  Further, according to the flush toilet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the inclination angle α with respect to the vertical surface V of the flush toilet 1 at the front end P of the outer wall portion 18 on the front side of the trunk portion 4. Therefore, the force f1 that causes the outer wall portion 18 to fall in the outer direction (front direction) due to its own weight is most likely to act, and the joint portion between the rim portion 6 and the trunk portion 4 is likely to be broken. However, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7A and 7B, a predetermined length h protruding upward from the base end portion 32 of the leg portion 34 of the body inner wall portion 22 is set to the front end portion of the bowl surface 20. When the rim portion 6 and the body portion 4 are joined and fired, the upper end portion 22a of the leg portion 34 of the body portion inner wall portion 2 and the lower end portion 30a of the rim inner wall portion 30 are particularly formed. The peripheral portion of the joint portion Q can be deformed more flexibly. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of breakage at the joint portion Q between the upper end portion 22a of the leg portion 34 of the trunk inner wall portion 2 and the lower end portion 30a of the rim inner wall portion 30, and breakage occurs in the manufacturing process of the flush toilet 1. This eliminates the need for repair work, and can improve manufacturability.

  Furthermore, according to the flush toilet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6, the predetermined length protrudes upward from the base end portion 32 of the leg portion 34 of the trunk inner wall portion 22. The center h in the front-rear direction of the body inner wall 22 corresponding to the vicinity of the center 20a in the front-rear direction of the bowl surface 20 where the inclination h of the outer surface 18 of the body 4 begins to increase with respect to the vertical surface V of the flush toilet 1 Since it is formed so as to gradually increase from the vicinity of the portion 22c to the front end portion 22d in front of it, only the upper end surface of the leg portion 34 can be joined to the lower end portion 30a of the rim inner wall portion 30. The part 34 can be deformed flexibly. As a result, the upper end portion 22a of the leg portion 34 of the barrel inner wall portion 22 and the lower end portion 30a of the rim inner wall portion 30 from the vicinity of the central portion 22c in the front-rear direction of the barrel inner wall portion 22 to the front end portion 22d in front thereof. It is possible to more effectively prevent the occurrence of breakage in the portion Q. Therefore, since the repair work when cutting | disconnection generate | occur | produces in the manufacturing process of the flush toilet 1 becomes unnecessary, productivity can be improved.

  Further, according to the flush toilet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the leg portion 34 of the trunk inner wall portion 22 protrudes upward from the base end portion 32, whereby the trunk inner wall portion 22 and the rim portion inner wall portion 30. The inner wall surface in a state where the two are joined rises in a substantially vertical direction. However, as shown in FIG. 1, the bowl surface 20 formed by the body inner wall portion 22 is a region in which the curvature radius ρ1 in the region R1 on the front side of the center portion 20a in the front-rear direction is the rear side in the plan view. It is formed so as to be substantially the same as the radius of curvature ρ2 in R2, and the radius of curvature ρ1 is set to a relatively large radius of curvature, so that the swirling flow swirling around the bowl surface 20 jumps out of the bowl surface 20 by centrifugal force. Can be prevented.

  Note that, in the flush toilet according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, the form of the joint portion between the trunk portion and the rim portion in the firing step of the toilet bowl manufacturing process has been described, but the trunk portion and the rim in the drying step are described. The joint part with the part can also be explained in the same manner as that relating to the firing step.
