【Example】

 Next, a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, the configuration of the nursing care toilet unit 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

The nursing care toilet unit 1 includes a box 4 having an entrance 3 provided with an opening / closing door 2. The outer surface of the box 4 is formed to be a furniture-like outer surface S as shown in FIG. In this case, when the furniture exterior surface S is installed in a room of a general house, for example, the entire size and shape are selected so as not to cause a feeling of oppression, and a grain is applied to the exterior surface. Does not occur. The main component of box 4 is preferably made of wood, but it does not prevent the use of other materials such as plastic. Further, the opening / closing door 2 may be entirely or partially made of frosted glass or translucent plastic so that the state of the care receiver who is inside may be checked, or the inside may not be completely visible. You may not know that it is a toilet.

On the other hand, a Western-style toilet 5 is installed inside the box 4, and a shower 11 and a sink 12 are additionally provided. A water distribution pipe 21 having a plurality of branch pipes is buried inside the wall surface of the box 4, and the outlet 5 of the water distribution pipe 21 (branch pipe) is connected to the toilet 5, shower 11, and wash basin 12 respectively. At the same time, the water inlet 21i of the water distribution pipe 21 is exposed outside the box 4. Note that the toilet 5 can be configured as, for example, a simple flush toilet.

A box-shaped chair 22 has an open bottom surface and a back surface, and can be installed so as to cover the toilet 5 as shown in FIG. Thus, the care receiver can use the shower 11 while sitting on the chair 22. The illustrated chair 22 can be placed at an arbitrary place. However, as shown by phantom lines in FIG. 3, when the rear end is attached to the rear wall surface of the toilet 5 via the hinge portion 22h and used, A chair 22s may be provided so as to be positioned horizontally and to be displaced upward by 90 ° when not in use so that it can be stacked on the rear wall surface. Reference numeral 23 denotes a handrail attached to the inner wall surface of the box 4, reference numeral 24 denotes a discharge pipe that is attached to the toilet 5 and protrudes from the back of the box 4 to the outside, and reference numeral 25 denotes a drainage protruded from the back of the box 4 to the outside. This drain pipe 25 drains water from the sink 12 and the inside of the box 4.

Next, a method of installing and using such a nursing toilet unit 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the nursing care toilet unit 1 can be assembled in a factory or the like in advance. Therefore, when installing, as shown in FIG. 1, the assembled toilet unit 1 can be installed in the room R where the care receiver lives. The embodiment exemplifies a case where the toilet unit 1 is installed at a corner of the room R and the nursing bed 30 is arranged in front of the entrance 3. Reference numeral 31 denotes a handrail attached to the wall surface W of the room R.

On the other hand, a water supply pipe 32 is connected to the water inlet 21 i of the installed toilet unit 1. As the water supply pipe 32, a water supply hose or the like can be used to connect to a water tap in a general house. Further, through holes 33 and 34 are provided in the wall surface W of the chamber R facing the back surface of the box 4 and at positions corresponding to the discharge pipe 24 and the drain pipe 25, respectively. 24 and the drain pipe 25 are exposed to the outside (outdoor). In this case, the discharge pipe 24 and the drain pipe 25 are provided with necessary inclinations as shown in FIG. Then, the outlet of the discharge pipe 24 is connected to the human waste tank 35 installed outdoors, and the outlet of the drain pipe 25 faces a drainage passage or the like. In addition, it is desirable to attach an odor tube 36 having an intake fan to the human waste tank 35. As a result, the excrement (excretion, drainage, odor, etc.) generated inside the box 4 can be discharged outside from the wall surface W in the room R in which the box 4 is installed.

On the other hand, when using the toilet unit 1, the care receiver gets off the nursing bed 30 and walks one or two steps along the handrail 31 to reach the entrance 3 in the toilet unit 1. . Therefore, the door 2 can be opened to enter the toilet unit 1, and the toilet 5, the shower 11, and the sink 12 provided in the toilet unit 1 can be used. When the shower 11 is used, the toilet 5 is covered with the above-described chair 22 (FIG. 3), and the care receiver can use the shower 11 while sitting on the chair 22.

Therefore, the nursing care toilet unit 1 according to the present embodiment is directly installed in the room R 1 in which the care receiver lives, so that the care bed 30 used by the care receiver and the toilet 5 are close to each other. Therefore, it is possible to improve the convenience of the cared person and reduce the labor of the cared person in the existing general house, and it is possible to realize it easily and inexpensively. In addition, since the exterior of the toilet unit 1 is formed on the furniture exterior surface S, a feeling of strangeness and discomfort can be eliminated, and a comfortable life can be achieved.

Although the embodiment has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and a detailed configuration, shape, material, and the like may be used without departing from the gist of the present invention. It can be arbitrarily changed, added, or deleted. For example, the case where the shower 11 and the wash basin 12 are provided inside the box 4 is illustrated, but the shower 11 and the wash basin 12 do not necessarily need to be provided, and on the other hand, any other equipment such as, for example, Of course, electrical equipment or the like may be provided.
