(For example, a storage space 100 described later) is formed, and openings (for example, a left-side opening 721 and a right-side opening 731 described later) are formed in a wall (for example, a ceramic wall 70 described later) that forms the storage space. The toilet bowl device and the toilet bowl part and the pedestal part are separate from each other, and are disposed so that a part of the opening can enter the housing space (for example, pressure accumulation described later) Device 40, a pump, a tank, an electronic device, and the like).

  Preferably, the toilet device includes a fixture (for example, a fixture 60 described later) attached to the wall made of ceramic, and the toilet component device is supported and fixed to the wall via the fixture.

  It is preferable that the toilet device includes a dew-proof material (for example, a dew-proof material 210 described later) installed between the walls so as to isolate the toilet-constituting equipment located in the accommodation space from outside air.

  A plurality of the openings are preferably formed.

  The toilet component device is preferably a pressure accumulator (for example, a pressure accumulator 40 described later).

  According to the toilet device of the present invention, it is possible to effectively utilize the space inside the toilet, and to sufficiently secure the installation space for toilet components such as pumps, tanks, pressure accumulators, and electronic devices.

  The toilet 2 is entirely composed of sanitary ware. FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing the pressure accumulating device 40 built in the toilet device 1 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, a pressure accumulating device 40 is disposed in the toilet 2 in front of the drain pipe 5 connected from the floor surface.

  FIG. 3 is a bottom view showing the inside of the toilet device 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the pressure accumulator 40 of the present embodiment. FIG. 5 is a side cross-sectional view of the toilet device 1 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the toilet bowl 2 of this embodiment includes a toilet bowl portion 21 and a pedestal portion 22.

  The toilet bowl portion 21 is connected to the drain pipe 5 via the trap portion 25. The pedestal portion 22 is configured in a skirt shape that surrounds the outer periphery of the toilet bowl portion 21. A storage space 100 is formed inside the toilet bowl 2 below the toilet bowl 21 and inside the pedestal 22.

  The accommodation space 100 is formed inside the pedestal portion 22 and below the toilet bowl portion 21. The accommodation space 100 is a space surrounded by the ceramic wall 70 in the front, rear, left, and right, and the pressure accumulating device 40 as a toilet component device is disposed. The pressure accumulator 40 is located in front of the drain pipe 5 in the accommodation space 100. The toilet bowl component device is provided separately from the toilet bowl portion 21 and the pedestal portion 22 and is provided in the toilet bowl 2. In addition to the pressure accumulator 40, a pump as a washing water device and washing water are stored. This includes the tank, the functional unit 4 and electronic equipment electrically connected to the outside. In the following description, the pressure accumulator 40 will be described as an example of a toilet component device.

  The pottery wall 70 has a hollow interior and constitutes a pedestal 22 that surrounds the toilet bowl 21. In the following description, in the ceramic wall 70, a part located on the front side of the accommodation space 100 is a front ceramic wall 71, a part located on the left side of the accommodation space 100 is a left ceramic wall 72, and a part located on the right side of the accommodation space 100. This will be described as the right ceramic wall 73.

  The front ceramic wall 71 forms a front part of the pedestal part 22 and is a hollow wall formed in a hollow shape. A fixing bracket 60 for attaching the pressure accumulating device 40 is fixed to the inner side surface of the front ceramic wall 71. In the present embodiment, the fixing bracket 60 is attached to a planar portion (a straight portion in a sectional view) of the front ceramic wall 71.

  A left opening 721 is formed in the left ceramic wall 72, and a right opening 731 is formed in the right ceramic wall 73. Both the left-side opening 721 and the right-side opening 731 of the present embodiment communicate with the hollow portion of the ceramic wall 70.

  The pressure accumulator 40 is a toilet component device that accumulates the water pressure of the stored washing water and uses it for washing assistance. The pressure accumulating device 40 is disposed in the accommodation space 100 so that a part of the pressure accumulating device 40 enters at least one of the left opening 721 and the right opening 731. For example, in the bottom view shown in FIG. 3, the pressure accumulator 40 is disposed so as to overlap the left opening 721 and the right opening 731.

  The left opening 721 and the right opening 731 can be arranged below the toilet bowl 21 and inside the pedestal 22 even if the length in the left-right direction is long. In particular, the storage space is limited when the width of the toilet bowl 2 becomes narrower as it goes to the front side in plan view, but the accumulator is not interfered with the ceramic wall 70 by the left opening 721 and the right opening 731. 40 can be arranged.

  The configuration of the pressure accumulator 40 will be described. The pressure accumulator 40 according to the present embodiment is configured to fix the pressure accumulating container 41 in which the wash water is stored, the device dewproof material 43 wound around the side surface of the pressure accumulating container 41, and the pressure accumulating container 41 in the toilet 2. A device-side metal fitting 50.

  The pressure accumulating container 41 accommodates pressurizing means (not shown) constituted by a spring or the like. The pressure accumulating container 41 of the present embodiment is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and is disposed inside the toilet bowl 2 in a posture in which the longitudinal direction is directed in the left-right direction (substantially horizontal direction).

  Washing water is supplied to the pressure accumulating vessel 41 through a pipe 45 connected to a water supply source (not shown) and accumulated. A valve (not shown) is disposed at the end of the pipe 45, and the flow of cleaning water is controlled by switching the valve. The same pipe 45 is also used for supplying cleaning water to the toilet bowl 21 side. Thus, the pipe 45 functions as a path for sending the washing water to the pressure accumulating container 41 and also functions as a path for sending the washing water pressurized from the pressure accumulating container 41 to the toilet bowl 21 side.

  The device dewproof material 43 is affixed to a part of the peripheral surface of the pressure accumulating container 41. The device dewproof material 43 is made of, for example, a material such as polystyrene foam, and prevents the occurrence of condensation on the outer surface of the pressure accumulating container 41 by disconnecting heat exchange with the outside.

  The apparatus side metal fitting 50 is demonstrated. In the present embodiment, the pressure accumulating device 40 is supported and fixed to the ceramic wall 70 (front ceramic wall 71) via a fixture 60 described later. The device-side metal fitting 50 is provided on the front side of the outer surface of the pressure accumulating vessel 41 and is a portion connected to the fixing metal fitting 60.

  The apparatus side metal fitting 50 of the present embodiment includes a plate-like engagement main body 51, an engaged portion 52 disposed on the upper portion of the engagement main body 51, and a device disposed on the lower portion of the engagement main body 51. A side fastening portion 53, and an intermediate protrusion 54 disposed between the engaged portion 52 and the apparatus side fastening portion 53.

  Next, the configuration of the fixture 60 will be described. FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which the pressure accumulator 40 according to the present embodiment is connected to the fixture 60. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the pressure accumulator 40 before being attached to the fixture 60.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the fixing metal 60 is formed in a flat plate-shaped fixing metal body 61, an engaging portion 62 formed on the upper part of the fixing metal body 61, and a lower part of the fixing metal body 61. A metal-side fastening portion 63.

  The fixing metal body 61 is a part fastened to the ceramic wall 70 by the bolt 90. In the present embodiment, a plurality of reversing nuts 91 for fastening the bolts 90 are embedded in the horizontal direction as anchor members at a position where the fixing metal fitting 60 is attached to the front ceramic wall 71.

  FIG. 8 is a view showing the pressure accumulator 40 attached from the front side through the fixing bracket 60. As shown in FIG. 8, three inversion nuts 91 are embedded in the front ceramic wall 71, two at the top and one at the bottom. The reversing nut 91 is arranged at a position corresponding to the apex of the triangle when viewed from the front side.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the engaging portion 62 protrudes rearward (on the pressure accumulating device 40 side) from the upper part of the fixing metal fitting 61 in a side view, then bends upward, and then slightly rearward. The shape extends upward while inclining. On the other hand, the engaged portion 52 on the pressure accumulating device 40 side is formed so as to protrude forward from the upper portion of the engaging main body portion 51 and then bend downward to cover the engaging portion 62 of the fixing bracket 60 from above. ing. By fitting the engaged portion 52 so as to cover the engaging portion 62, the upper part of the fixing metal fitting 60 and the apparatus-side metal fitting 50 is connected. That is, the engaged portion 52 is a connecting portion on the upper side of the device-side metal fitting 50.

  The metal fitting side fastening portion 63 protrudes rearward (on the pressure accumulating device 40 side) from the lower part of the fixing metal fitting body 61 in a side view. On the other hand, the device-side fastening portion 53 on the pressure accumulating device 40 side protrudes from the lower portion of the engagement main body portion 51 to the front side, and in the connected state, overlaps with the lower surface of the metal fitting-side fastening portion 63 and serves as a receiving surface for the screw 55. When the screw 55 is fastened with the upper surface of the device-side fastening portion 53 facing the lower surface of the metal-side fastening portion 63, the fixing metal 60 and the lower portion of the device-side metal fitting 50 are connected. That is, the engaged portion 52 is a lower connecting portion of the apparatus-side metal fitting 50.

  The intermediate protrusion 54 protrudes forward from the vertical center of the apparatus-side metal fitting 50. The fixing bracket 60 and the apparatus-side bracket 50 are in contact with the fixing bracket main body 61 in a state where the fixing bracket 60 and the apparatus-side bracket 50 are connected at two locations. The intermediate protrusion 54 of the present embodiment is formed by bending a plate-like portion, and the end surface portion is in contact with the fixing bracket main body 61, so that a wide contact area is ensured in the horizontal direction.

  By fixing the pressure accumulating device 40 to the fixture 60 described above, the pressure accumulating device 40 is stably supported by the strong ceramic wall 70. As shown in FIG. 8, the pressure accumulator 40 is supported at the center in the left-right direction via a fixing bracket 60, and is also stable from the viewpoint of left-right balance. Further, it can be seen that the pressure accumulating device 40 does not interfere with the ceramic wall 70 even in the rear view.

  The fixed position of the pressure accumulator 40 (accumulation container 41) of this embodiment and the surrounding space will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, a space is formed above the pressure accumulator 40 so that it can be engaged in the vertical direction. Moreover, the pressure accumulator 40 is fixed so as not to contact the floor, and a space is formed below it. A dew proof material can be arranged using this space (see the dew proof material 210 of the second embodiment). Further, the pressure accumulating device 40 is located in front of the center of the toilet bowl 2 in the front-rear direction and below the trap portion 25.

  Next, an example of an operation for supporting and fixing the pressure accumulating device 40 to the ceramic wall 70 via the fixing bracket 60 will be described. In this example, it is assumed that the operation is performed with the toilet bowl 2 turned upside down and upside down. First, the reversing nut 91 is embedded in the ceramic wall 70, and the fixing metal 60 is attached to the ceramic wall 70 with the bolt 90. Next, the engaging portion 62 and the engaged portion 52 are coupled so that the engaged portion 52 of the pressure accumulator 40 (device-side metal fitting 50) is put on the engaging portion 62 of the fixing metal fitting 60. And the screw | thread 55 as a fastening member which fastens the metal fitting side fastening part 63 from the apparatus side fastening part 53 is fastened, and upper and lower two places are connected. The intermediate protrusion 54 contacts the fixing bracket 60 when the engaging portion 62 and the engaged portion 52 are engaged, so that rattling or the like that is kinked is prevented and the fastening operation can be performed smoothly. Here, an example in which the toilet 2 is turned upside down and the pressure accumulating device 40 is supported and fixed to the ceramic wall 70 has been described. Since the engagement of the joint portion 52 can be used, the working efficiency can be improved similarly. In this way, by using the engagement or being connected vertically, the pressure accumulating device 40 can be stably held inside the toilet bowl 2 without providing two or more fixing brackets 60 as fixing members. It is possible. The fastening member described above is not limited to the screw 55, and other types such as bolts can also be used.

According to the embodiment described above, the following effects can be obtained.
The toilet device 1 includes a toilet bowl portion 21 and a pedestal portion 22, a storage space 100 is formed below the toilet bowl portion 21 and inside the pedestal portion 22, and a ceramic wall as an inner wall forming the storage space 100 70 (the left pottery wall 72 and the right pottery wall 73), the toilet bowl 2 in which the left opening 721 and the right opening 731 are respectively formed, and the toilet bowl 21 and the pedestal 22 are separate from each other, and the storage space 100 And a pressure accumulating device 40 as a toilet component device arranged so that a part can enter at least one of the left opening 721 and the right opening 731.

  Thereby, even if it is a case where the toilet component apparatus which requires a comparatively big installation space like the pressure accumulator 40 needs to be arrange | positioned inside the toilet bowl 2, the pressure accumulator 40 is set to the left side opening part 721 and the right side opening part 731. Of the toilet bowl 2 by using a space (accommodating space 100) formed below the toilet bowl 21 of the toilet device 1 without interfering the pressure accumulating device 40 and the pottery wall 70. The pressure accumulator 40 can be accommodated in

  The toilet device 1 of the present embodiment includes a fixture 60 attached to the ceramic wall 70 (front ceramic wall 71), and the pressure accumulator 40 is supported and fixed to the ceramic wall 70 via the fixture 60.

  Thereby, the pressure accumulating device 40 as the toilet component device is stably accommodated by the strong pottery wall 70 while effectively utilizing the space (accommodating space 100) formed below the toilet bowl portion 21 of the toilet device 1. It can be held in the space 100. In addition, it is advantageous in terms of vibration resistance as compared with the case where the functional unit 4 is attached to a resin member. And since the operation | work for supporting the pressure accumulator 40 to the ceramic wall 70 can utilize the fixing bracket 60, the operation | work which fixes the pressure accumulator 40 inside can also be performed easily.

  A plurality of openings (left opening 721 and right opening 731) of the present embodiment are formed.

  Thus, the pressure accumulating device 40 as the toilet component device is not interfered with the pottery wall 70 without reducing the strength of the toilet bowl 2 by making a plurality of openings rather than one large opening. The configuration of the toilet device 1 that can be accommodated can be realized.

  The toilet component device of the present embodiment is a pressure accumulator 40. Accordingly, since it is necessary to store water in addition to the built-in pressurizing means, the left side opening 721 and the right side opening 731 can be used for the accumulator 40 having a relatively large size. The space below the pot portion 21 can be used as an installation space.

  Next, a toilet device 201 according to a modification will be described. FIG. 9 is a side sectional view of a toilet device 201 according to a modification. As shown in FIG. 9, a toilet device 201 according to a modified example is different from the above embodiment in that a dewproof material 210 is disposed below the pressure accumulating device 40 inside the toilet 2. The dewproof material 210 is disposed so as to cover the lower side of the pressure accumulator 40 in the accommodation space 100 of the toilet 2. By this dewproof material 210, the space on the side where the pressure accumulator 40 is located in the accommodation space 100 is sealed from the outside, and is isolated from the outside air. In the present embodiment, the dewproof material 210 is disposed below the left opening 721 and the right opening 731. In addition, the dewproof material 210 is disposed so as to block the opening 80 and the pipe formed inside the toilet bowl 2 in order to pass the pipe to the pressure accumulator 40.

  That is, the toilet device 201 of the modified example includes a dewproof material 210 installed between the pottery walls 70 so as to isolate the pressure accumulating device 40 as a toilet component device located in the accommodation space 100 from the outside air.

  Thereby, since the pressure accumulating device 40 and the outside of the accommodation space 100 are isolated by the dewproof material 210, it is possible to effectively prevent a situation in which condensation of the pressure accumulating device 40 occurs by suppressing the influence of outside air. Therefore, even when the pressure accumulating device 40 is supported and fixed to the ceramic wall 70 via the fixing metal 60 made of metal having relatively high thermal conductivity, the influence can be reduced, and water drops fall on the floor due to condensation and accumulate. Can be effectively prevented.

  The dewproof material 210 is provided below the left opening 721 and the right opening 731. In addition, it is preferable that a mechanism (not shown) for removing air performs a process of removing air outside the space sealed by the dewproof material 210.

  As mentioned above, although preferable embodiment and the modification of this invention were described, this invention is not restrict | limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, It can change suitably. For example, in the above embodiment, the pressure accumulating device 40 has been described as an example of the toilet composing device. However, the toilet device is electrically connected to a cleaning water device such as a pump or a tank that sends cleaning water, or the functional unit 4 of the above embodiment. An electronic device or the like can be placed inside the toilet 2 as a toilet component device.

  In the said embodiment, the arrangement | positioning locations, such as a front side, a side surface, and a rear side, can be changed suitably. For example, the pressure accumulator 40 may be supported and fixed to the left ceramic wall 72 or the right ceramic wall 73 positioned in the left-right direction of the space. In this case, the opening formed in the pottery wall can also be formed in different places, such as the front pottery wall or the rear pottery wall located behind.

  In the said embodiment, although the hollow ceramic wall 70 was demonstrated to the example, it can also be set as a solid ceramic wall.

  In the above embodiment, the pressure accumulating device 40 is configured to be supported and fixed to the pottery wall 70 via the fixing bracket 60, but the fixing bracket 60 is omitted and the pressure accumulating device 40 as a toilet component device is directly fixed to the pottery wall 70. It can also be set as the structure to arrange | position in the accommodation space 100, supporting a lower part on a floor surface and a floor surface.

  In the above embodiment, the pressure accumulator 40 as a toilet component device is configured to enter the openings (the left-side opening 721 and the right-side opening 731) in a fixed state, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The case where the toilet component device enters the opening only when the toilet component device is attached is also included.

  In the said embodiment, although the intermediate protrusion 54 is the structure arrange | positioned at the pressure accumulation apparatus 40 side, it protrudes from the fixing metal fitting 60 side to the pressure accumulation apparatus 40 side as a toilet component apparatus, and the intermediate | middle which can contact the pressure accumulation apparatus 40 in a connection state It can also be changed to a configuration having a protrusion.

  In the said embodiment, although it has set as the structure which engages the to-be-engaged part 52 with the engaging part 62, it can also be set as the structure which screws the engaging part 62 or its vicinity.
