[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a faucet unit having improved ease of use, functionality, and maintainability by improving the installation and layout of a faucet provided in a bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A hot water supply and a water tap are provided in a bathroom, and these are composed of an operator for controlling hot water supply and water supply, a faucet, a shower water spouting device, etc., which are disposed on a wall surface or a unit. In the bath, a part of the rim of the bathtub is formed wide or protruded toward the floor of the washing room, and the above-described equipment is installed on the rim.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above prior art, the wall provided with a plurality of controls, a water faucet, and a shower water discharge device is provided on the wall surface of the bathroom. It is hard to say that it is optimal in terms of sex, and when it is narrow like a bathroom for home use, many appliances protrude from the wall, there is a feeling of oppression and the room feels narrow, and furthermore, equipment is installed on the wall It is necessary to drill multiple mounting holes on the wall, which makes the installation complicated and complicated, and the piping on the outside of the wall also needs to be branched depending on the position of the operator and the faucet, which complicates the installation. , It will be troublesome.

Since water taps and operators are provided on the wall surface, their locations are specified, and the locations of hot water, water taps, and water faucets when a bathroom is provided are limited, and these can be freely installed. The degree of heat is disturbed, and hot water and water taps according to the bathroom,
If the faucet cannot be freely installed and the bathroom is renovated by renovation, etc., the positions of hot water supply, faucet and faucet are limited, so when remodeling etc., these free installations can be performed It is actually difficult to change the layout of the bathroom,
Restrictions apply when renovating.

[0005] In addition to the above, as a result of providing a hot water supply, a water faucet, a water faucet, and the like on the wall surface, it is necessary to remove the equipment from the wall surface when performing maintenance, and the equipment is arranged adjacent to each other but apart from each other. Therefore, when inspecting the piping, it is necessary to remove the individual devices, which makes the operation troublesome and complicated, and the maintenance is extremely poor. In some cases, the work such as peeling off the wall is required, which is disadvantageous.

On the other hand, when a hot water supply, a water faucet, a water faucet or the like is provided on a rim portion or the like integrated with a bathtub of a unit bath, it is necessary to provide a terminal for installing these in the unit bath, and the unit bus becomes large. , Production and structure become complicated, and when installing piping and equipment, it is necessary to sneak under the rim of a large unit bath and work, so workability is poor, maintenance is difficult, and it is disadvantageous. Since the device is also provided on the rim, the degree of freedom of installation of the device is restricted.

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art, and the object thereof is to improve the degree of freedom of hot water supply, water faucet and water faucet installation, and to collectively collect these. Another object of the present invention is to provide a water faucet unit which can be installed without depending on a wall surface, a unit bath, or the like , so that the appearance of a bathroom can be improved, layout flexibility can be improved, installation can be facilitated, maintenance can be improved, and the like.

[0008]

Means for solving the above problems include a box-shaped case placed and arranged on an arbitrary part on the floor of a bathroom, and a hot water supply provided on the surface of the case. , Water supply, etc.
With a faucet that discharges hot water and hot / cold water, hot water supplied in the case, piping for water supply, and a door provided on the front of the case
A storage section that can be opened and closed, and a case installed on the wall behind the storage section
It is a hydrant unit composed of an inspection port for inspecting the piping inside .

[0009]

According to the above-mentioned means, since the operator for operating hot water supply, water supply and the like and the faucet are collectively provided in one case and made into a unit, any unit can be provided without being restricted by a bathroom wall surface or a bathtub. can be disposed in an appropriate portion may be connected to a pipe bring the unit into the bathroom, installation, construction is easy, since especially the inspection port provided on the back wall of the housing part, cable
The door inside the case is easy to inspect and the door is provided in front of the case.
Appearance of wear in good installed in the.
