Description

  The present invention relates to a bathroom washroom floor formed mainly of foamed resin.

  There is a technology for manufacturing bathroom washroom floors mainly made of foamed resin. As shown in Patent Document 1, this technique is to foam-mold in a mold to shape the shape of a floor base material, and a washing floor can be formed with an inexpensive mold. Moreover, this patent document 1 has also proposed forming the floor base material frame which mounts a wall panel, and a floor base material main body as a separate member, respectively by the optimal manufacturing method.

  However, there are multiple sizes in the washing area. Therefore, a mold is required for each washing place of different sizes, and the number of molds increases. Therefore, in order to further reduce the manufacturing cost of the washing floor, it is conceivable to stop the entire washing area from being molded with a mold.

  One example is a method using a flat plate of foamed resin. In this case, a flat plate of foamed resin is cut to the size of a washing place to form a floor base body, and a floor base frame on which a wall panel is placed is arranged on the outer periphery of the floor base body. What is necessary is just to cut what this floor base material frame was shape | molded in the strip | belt shape into a required size. Then, the cushioning material and the skin material are placed on the upper surface of the floor base body to complete the floor base material for the washing place. If manufactured in this way, the required number of molds can be greatly reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  However, since the floor base body is a flat plate made of foamed resin having an upper surface and a lower surface formed in parallel, the surface of the washing floor becomes a horizontal surface. Therefore, the surface of the washroom floor is not provided with a drainage gradient that is inclined downward toward the drainage port, and the drainage performance of the washroom floor is extremely inferior, and it takes a long time for the washroom floor to dry.

  Then, this invention solves the above-mentioned problem, and it aims at obtaining the washroom floor of the bathroom which can provide a drainage gradient, using the flat plate of a foamed resin.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a bathroom floor in the present invention includes a floor substrate made of a foamed resin flat plate whose upper surface and lower surface are parallel, and a flat floor that supports the lower surface of the floor substrate. A support body having a support surface, a surface material constituting a surface of the washing place, and a cushion material disposed between the floor base material and the surface material, and the cushion material is an end of the washing place. The thickness is gradually reduced from the portion toward the drainage outlet of the washing place, and the change in the thickness of the cushion material forms a drainage slope that slopes down toward the drainage outlet on the surface of the washing place. Features.

According to this, while the floor base material is formed of a flat plate made of foamed resin having a uniform thickness, the thickness of the cushion material provided on the floor base material is gradually reduced toward the drain outlet to gradually reduce the thickness. By setting it as the shape to do, a drainage gradient can be provided to the surface of a washing place, using a flat plate for a floor base material. Since the flat plate of the foamed resin does not require a complicated shape in the mold, it can be manufactured at a relatively low cost.
Therefore, a washroom floor that imparts a drainage gradient can be manufactured at low cost using a flat plate made of foamed resin.

  In the bathroom floor of the present invention, the cushion material is preferably divided into a plurality of parts in the horizontal direction.

  According to this, it becomes possible to easily manufacture a cushion material having different inclined surfaces.

  In the bathroom washroom floor of the present invention, it is also preferable that the drainage gradient has a plurality of drainage gradient surfaces facing the drainage port, and the cushion material is divided for each of the plurality of drainage gradient surfaces.

  According to this, the cushion material is divided by different inclined surfaces. Therefore, since the divided cushion material has a uniform change in thickness, it is easier to manufacture.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it becomes possible to obtain the washroom floor of the bathroom which can provide a waste_water | drain gradient, using the flat plate of the foaming resin which can be manufactured at low cost.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a bathroom unit including a bathroom wash floor according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the bathroom wash floor 1 is arranged next to the bathtub 2. A bath apron 9 is provided between the bathtub 2 and the washing floor 1 as a partition wall that separates the washing area from the bathtub installation section.

  The washing floor 1 according to this embodiment includes a drain port 15 provided on the washing floor 1 and a drain pipe outside the bathroom in the space below the washing floor 1, that is, between the washing floor 1 and the bathroom installation surface. A drain pipe 5 for communication is laid.

  The washing floor 1 is formed in a shallow vessel shape (bread shape) with the peripheral edge raised upward by providing a water blocking wall 1b so as to surround each side of the peripheral edge of the washing area 1a. It has a three-dimensional shape that prevents hot water from leaking out. The peripheral part of the washing place 1a shown in FIG. 1 is a substantially quadrilateral. In the description of the present embodiment, the water blocking wall 1b provided on the bathtub 2 side is referred to as the water blocking wall 1b (W) when distinguished from other water blocking walls 1b.

  On the surface of the washing place 1a ("surface" used in the following description refers to the surface inside the bathroom unless otherwise specified) so that hot water adhering to the surface of the washing place 1a flows to the drain 15 Therefore, drainage gradient surfaces 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105 that are inclined surfaces having a predetermined gradient toward the drainage port 15 are provided. This gradient is a downward gradient directed away from each side of the outer peripheral edge of the washing place 1a. Further, the boundary line between the drainage gradient surfaces adjacent to each other has a predetermined gradient toward the drainage port 15, similarly to the drainage gradient surfaces 101, 102, 103, 104 and 105. The gradient of the boundary line is a downward gradient directed away from each side of the outer peripheral edge of the washing place 1a.

  In the present embodiment, the drainage gradient surfaces 101 and 105 provided on the bathtub 2 side of the washing place 1a are disposed across both sides of the drainage port 15 therebetween. A boundary line L between the surface of the water blocking wall 1b (W) on the bathtub 2 side of the washing place 1a and the surface of the washing place 1a exists on the same straight line. The drainage gradient surfaces 101 and 105 have an inclination that becomes a downward gradient in a direction away from the boundary line L.

  2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of the washing floor of the present embodiment, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the washing floor, and FIG. It is a perspective view showing a cushion material.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the washing place floor 1 according to the present embodiment includes a support 11, a floor base material 12, a cushion material 13, and a surface material 14. A wall mounting member 7 on which a wall material of a bathroom unit (not shown) can be mounted is provided around the floor base material 12 excluding the bathtub 2 side. Further, a standing wall portion 8 is attached to the floor base 12 on the bathtub 2 side.

  The support body 11 includes a frame 111 having length-adjustable support legs 112 and a high-strength support surface material 113 placed on the frame 111 so that the washing floor 1 can be installed at the floor height of the installation place. The height of the surface (the surface of the washing place 1a) can be adjusted. The support surface material 113 is provided with a work opening 113h and covered with a lid 114. The upper surface of the support surface material 113 covered with the lid 114 serves as a floor support surface that supports the floor base material 12.

  The floor base 12 is provided on the support 11. The cushion material 13 is provided on the floor base material 12 and has a cushioning property higher than the cushioning property (elasticity) of the floor base material 12. The surface material 14 is provided on the cushion material 13 and has a hardness higher than the hardness of the cushion material 13. In the present specification, “hardness” is equivalent to “hardness”. For example, Vickers hardness test (JIS Z 2244), Brinell hardness test (JIS Z 2243), or Rockwell hardness (JIS Z 2245). ) Is a measurable value based on the above.

  The floor base 12 is a flat plate made of foamed resin, having an upper surface and a lower surface that are parallel and have no gradient. Therefore, the floor base material 12 does not need to have a complicated mold shape and can be manufactured at low cost.

  Examples of the foamed resin include foamed polypropylene, foamed polystyrene, foamed polyethylene, and foamed polyurethane. In this embodiment, foamed polypropylene is used as an example. Since foamed polypropylene has higher impact resistance than other foamed resins, it is possible to provide a floor structure with excellent strength that can withstand severe use.

  The cushion material 13 is provided between the floor base material 12 and the surface material 14. The cushion material 13 includes a material having elasticity such as polyurethane, for example, and can give a moderate softness to the washing floor 1.

  The cushion material 13 is formed with inclined surfaces 131a, 132a, 133a, 134a, and 135a serving as reference surfaces for forming the drainage gradient surfaces 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105 of the washing place 1a described above. Therefore, the cushion material 13 has a shape in which the thickness is gradually reduced from the end of the washing place 1a toward the drain 15 of the washing place 1a. In addition, the form of the drainage slope and the form of the slope are not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 4.

  The inclined surfaces 131a to 135a are similar to the drainage gradient surfaces 101 to 105.

  The surface material 14 has a portion 14a that covers the floor base material 12 and the cushion material 13 and forms the surface of the washing place 1a, and a portion 14b that covers the standing wall portion 8 and forms the surface of the water blocking wall 1b.

  The surface material 14 is deformed so as to follow the inclined surfaces 131 a to 135 a of the cushion material 13, and is adhered to the peripheral portion of the floor base material 12 so as to cover the surface of the floor base material 12.

  Arrow S1 shown in FIG. 4 represents the direction of each downward slope of the drainage gradient surfaces 101-105. That is, the direction in which the arrow S1 points indicates the downward direction. Thus, the drainage gradient surfaces 101 to 105 are inclined planes that descend from the sides of the outer peripheral edge of the washing floor 1 in the direction perpendicular to the sides.

According to the washing ground floor 1 of the present embodiment, the floor base 12 is formed of a flat plate made of foamed resin having a uniform thickness, and the cushion material 13 provided on the floor base 12 is connected to the drain port 15. The thickness is changed so that the thickness gradually decreases and the thickness gradually decreases. Thereby, the drainage gradient which inclines downward toward the drain port 15 is given to the surface of the washing place 1a by the change of the thickness of the cushioning material 13 while using a flat plate for the floor base 12. Since the flat plate of the foamed resin does not require a complicated shape in the mold, it can be manufactured at a relatively low cost.
Therefore, it is possible to manufacture the washroom floor 1 imparting a drainage gradient at a low cost using a flat plate made of foamed resin.

Next, a modified example of the cushion material will be described.
FIG. 6 is an exploded view illustrating a modification of the cushion material.
In this modification, the cushion material is divided for each of the inclined surfaces 131a, 132a, 133a, 134a, and 135a.
As shown in FIG. 6, the cushion material 13 of this modified example includes a first cushion material 131b, a second cushion material 132b, a third cushion material 133b, a fourth cushion material 134b, 5 cushion materials 135b.

  The surface of the first cushion material 131 b forms an inclined surface 131 a of the cushion material 13. The surface of the second cushion material 132 b forms an inclined surface 132 a of the cushion material 13. The surface of the third cushion material 133 b forms an inclined surface 133 a of the cushion material 13. The surface of the fourth cushion material 134 b forms an inclined surface 134 a of the cushion material 13. The surface of the fifth cushion material 135b forms an inclined surface 135a of the cushion material 13.

  In this modification, the cushion material 13 includes the first cushion material 131b and the second cushion material along a boundary line (valley line) between the inclined surfaces adjacent to each other among the plurality of inclined surfaces 131b to 135b. It is divided into a cushion material 132b, a third cushion material 133b, a fourth cushion material 134b, and a fifth cushion material 135b.

More specifically, the cushion material 13 is divided into a first cushion material 131b and a second cushion material 132b at a boundary line between the inclined surface 131a and the inclined surface 132a. The boundary between the first cushion material 131b and the second cushion material 132b is along the boundary line between the inclined surface 131a and the inclined surface 132a.
The relationship between the second cushion material 132b to the fifth cushion material 135b is the same.
The division position of the cushion material 13 is not limited to the example shown in FIG.

  Thus, since the division | segmentation position of the cushioning material 13 will be along the boundary line of the drainage gradient surfaces of the drainage gradient of the washing place 1a, the shape of the cushioning material 13 becomes a simple shape with the uniform change of thickness. . Therefore, the cost for manufacturing the cushion material 13 can be reduced.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to these descriptions. As long as the features of the present invention are provided, those skilled in the art appropriately modified the design of the above-described embodiments are also included in the scope of the present invention.
