BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for fixing a casing containing a functional part such as a sanitary washing device for local washing or a washing water tank to a body of a toilet bowl.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A sanitary washing apparatus having a local washing function integrated with a toilet bowl has been conventionally used. This sanitary washing device was generally incorporated as a separate body from the toilet body and the washing water tank integrally attached thereto. Instead of this type, the entire sanitary washing device and the washing water tank are housed in one casing, and the toilet seat and toilet lid are integrally connected to this casing, and the casing is placed on the toilet body and fixed. Some have done it. FIG. 9 shows the mounting structure.

[0003] As shown in FIG.
Has four mounting holes 51 and a pipe hole 52 through which a drain pipe of a washing water tank passes through a mounting surface 50c having the same height as the rim 50b surrounding the ball 50a. On the other hand, a bolt 55a is provided on the lower surface of a casing 55 in which a functional part of a sanitary washing device for local washing and a washing water tank are accommodated and a toilet seat 53 and a toilet lid 54 are integrated as shown in FIG. I have. The casing 55 is placed on the installation surface 50c, and the bolt 55a integrated with the casing 55 is passed through the mounting hole 51, and at the same time, the drain pipe 5 protruding from the bottom surface of the washing water tank.
The casing 55 is fixed to the toilet body 50 by passing 6 through the piping hole 52 and screwing the nut 55b to the bolt 55a.

As described above, even if the casing 55 becomes large, the casing 55 can be fixed to the toilet body 50 by using the four bolts 55a, and the appearance is good without exposing the washing water tank and other functional parts. Can be used as equipment.

[0005]

The sanitary washing device for local washing is provided with a valve unit for supplying washing water, a hot water tank and a nozzle device for jetting washing water, and a hot air used for drying after washing. It is provided with a number of devices such as a fan and a control unit for these devices. Therefore, in order to put such equipment and a large washing water tank together in the casing 55, it is necessary to increase the planar and spatial density of each equipment. From such a background, it is necessary to not only raise the casing 55 on the mounting surface 50c but also provide sleeves and the like hanging down on the left and right sides of the mounting surface 50c to increase the storage space. Have been. As the casing of the sleeve, there is a model that accommodates, for example, an operation panel of each device, a deodorizing fan, a deodorizing cassette, and the like.

However, the casing 5 to the toilet body 50
In fixing 5, the nut 55b is screwed into the bolt 55a from below the installation surface 50c. At this time, since the bolt 55a is hidden by the sleeve and is located in a deep place, the work of screwing the nut 55a becomes considerably difficult because the sleeve is in the way.

Further, since the bolts 55a and the nuts 55b are used, the casing 55 is fixed to the toilet main body 50 by a force for narrowing the upper and lower sides of the installation surface 50c. For this reason, an elastic bush or the like is incorporated between the nut 55b and the lower surface of the installation surface 50c so that the installation surface 50c of the ceramic toilet body 50 does not crack. For this reason, the number of members increases, and work is troublesome, and the toilet body 50 may be cracked or cracked due to excessive tightening of the nut 55b.

As described above, in the conventional casing fixing structure, the assembling work on the toilet body is complicated, and the load on the toilet body tends to be large.

The problem to be solved in the present invention is to make it possible to easily fix the washing water tank and other functional parts attached to the toilet body to the toilet body and to cope with the expansion of the functional parts.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a toilet apparatus which contains a functional part such as a local washing device or a washing water tank which is attached to a toilet body having an engagement hole formed in a fixing seat at an upper end of a back. A restraint that can be inserted into the engagement hole is incorporated in a base portion mounted on the seat, and an operating means for moving the restraint is provided on a surface of the toilet device.

[0011]

[Function] Since the restraint can be operated from the surface of the toilet device,
In the operation of attaching the base portion to the fixed seat, it is not necessary to screw the nut under the fixed seat. Further, the number of fixing portions of the fixing seat due to the narrow pressure of the fixing bolt is reduced as compared with the conventional one, and the restraint is only hooked on the engagement hole, so that the load on the fixing seat is also reduced.

In this manner, the rear end side of the base 3 is fixed to the toilet body 1 by the fixing bolt 10, and at the same time, the flush water tank 7 is also fixedly fixed to the toilet body 1 side. In addition,
As shown in FIG. 5, the lower casing 5 is connected to the base 3 so as to hang down below the rim 1b of the toilet body 1, and has a shape enclosing the left and right spaces under the fixed seat 1c.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show the base 3 with the restraint 11.
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a main part showing fixing of an upper casing 4.

The restraint 11 has a longitudinal section having a slider 11a riding on the projection 3c, and a connection seat 11b and a hook 11c protruding downward from the front end and the rear end, respectively. The connection seat 11b is provided with a screw hole 11d into which a fixing screw 12 passed from the front side of the upper casing 4 is screwed, and the lower end of the hook 11c has a cross-sectional shape bent into a hook shape so as to embrace the lower surface of the fixing seat 1c.

Here, the washing water tank 7 is fixed to a predetermined position on the base 3, and a nozzle device for local washing, a hot water tank, and a controller (all not shown) are fixed. Then, the upper casing 4 and the lower casing 5 are integrated with the base 3 so as to enclose the washing water tank 7 and the respective functional parts collectively. At this time, fixing bolt 1
0 is set in advance so as to protrude from the lower surface of the base 3 and set so as not to rotate in preparation for screwing with the nut 10a. Similarly, the restraint 11 is previously incorporated in the base 3 so that the fixing screw 12 does not drop off from the protrusion 3c. When the restraint device 11 is set on the fixed seat 1c of the toilet body 1, the hook 11c is positioned slightly to the right of that shown in FIG. It is set so that it can be aligned with the engagement hole 9.

As described above, the washing water tank 7 and the functional part for local washing are fixed on the base 3, the upper casing 4 and the lower casing 5 are integrated with the base 3, and the fixing bolt 10 and the restraint 11 are also provided. The product is shipped from the factory in a state where it is set so that it can be fixed to the toilet body 1 immediately at the site. Then, the entire casing 2 is attached to the toilet body 1 installed at the site by the following procedure.

First, the base 3 is fixed to the fixed seat 1c of the toilet body 1.
When it is put on the base, the fixing bolt 10 protruding from under the base 3 and the hook 11c of the restraint 11 are passed through the bolt hole 8 and the engaging hole 9, respectively. Then, a nut 10a is screwed into the fixing bolt 10, and the rear end of the base 3 is fixed to the fixing seat 1c.
To be restrained. The fixing by the fixing bolts 10 is an auxiliary function for positioning, and the nuts 10a may be loosely tightened. For this reason, the work of putting a tool on the nut 10a and turning it can be performed easily, and the fixed seat 1c is not strongly narrowed, so that the generation of cracks and cracks is also prevented.

Next, a screwdriver is mounted on a fixing screw 12 whose head is located at the front of the upper casing 4, and the fixing screw 12 is turned in a direction to be screwed into the screw hole 11 d of the restraining tool 11. At the time of this screwing, there is a possibility that the restraining tool 11 may co-rotate with the fixing screw 12, but the hook 11c is inserted into the engaging hole 9 so as to be restrained from changing its posture, and the slider 11a is also moved by the guide 3d. Since it is restrained, the restraint 11 does not rotate.
Therefore, the screwing of the fixing screw 12 is performed promptly.

When the fixing screw 12 is further screwed in, the restraint 11 does not rotate together with the fixing screw 12 and moves to the inner wall side of the upper casing 4 as shown by an arrow in FIG. Finally, the state shown in FIG.
At the same time as c abuts against the inner wall of the engagement hole 9, the lower end embraces the lower surface of the fixed seat 11c. For this reason, the base 3 is pressed against the fixed seat 1c so that the slider 11a of the restraint 11 presses down the upper surface of the protrusion 3c, and the base 3 is fixed to the toilet body 1 by the restraint 11 together with the two fixing bolts 10. . The upper casing 4 is also integrated with the base 3 by the fixing screw 12, so that the upper casing 4 is also fixed to the toilet body 1 via the base 3.

As described above, only the rear end of the base 3 serving as the base of the casing 2 is fixed to the toilet body 1 by the two fixing bolts 10, and the fixing screw 12 is fixed to the front part from the front side of the upper casing 4. It can be fixed simply by screwing it in. If the fixing force of the restraint 11 is used,
The fastening between the fixing bolt 10 and the nut 10a can be loose.
For this reason, when screwing the nut 10a into the fixing bolt 10, hold the nut 10a by hand and grope the fixing bolt 10
Only need to be screwed into, eliminating the need for tools
Work can be done easily.

The workability is best provided at the front end side of the base 3, but may be arranged at the rear end side of the base 3 instead. Further, the operating means may be provided on the side surface of the casing 2 so as to move the restraint 11 right and left.

[0027]

According to the present invention, since the restraint device can be operated from the front side of the toilet device, it is not necessary to screw a nut under the fixed seat when mounting the base on the fixed seat.

For this reason, the assembling work is simplified as compared with a fixing structure relying on fixing bolts and nuts. In addition, since the restraint is only hooked on the engagement hole, the load on the fixing seat is reduced, and the toilet body is not cracked or broken. Furthermore, even when the functional part is enlarged and the storage body or the like of the toilet device hangs down on the side of the fixed seat, there is no problem in fixing the casing, and it is possible to sufficiently cope with the expansion of the functional part.
