(See (b)).

  Thus, in this embodiment, compared with the toilet bowl containing the conventional ceramic-made division body, the synthetic resin division bodies 1-3 excellent in dimensional accuracy are bonded and integrated, and the synthetic resin 1-3 division bodies are combined. In this case, the rim part 3 and the bowl part 1 that form the washing water flow path 16 are particularly welded. Since the locations A1 and A2 and the skirt portion 2 and the rim portion 3 in the vicinity of the washing water flow channel 16 can be welded together B2 and B3, water leakage from the toilet can be prevented. Furthermore, by forming the toilet bowl by bonding and integrating a plurality of divided bodies 1 to 3, the undercut portion can be reduced, thereby forming a unitary toilet bowl made of synthetic resin such as a conventional simple toilet bowl. It is possible to form an annular or U-shaped washing water channel 16 (annular in the present embodiment) in plan view that could not be performed.

  Here, the welding location A1 (that is, the upper surface of the upper end opening edge 1a of the bowl portion 1 and the lower surface of the lower butted portion 25 of the upper lateral piece 24 of the rim 3) is, for example, as shown in FIGS. Welded.

  In FIG. 11A, a convex welding allowance 31 is integrally projected upward from the center of the upper surface of the upper end opening edge portion 1a of the bowl portion 1 and directed downward from the lower surface of the lower butted portion 25 of the rim portion 3. The convex welding allowance 32 protrudes integrally. Further, a corner portion formed by the inner surface and the upper surface of the upper end opening edge portion 1 a of the bowl portion 1 and a corner portion formed by the outer surface and the upper surface are both chamfered to form a relief inclined surface 33. Then, the welding margins 31 and 32 are heated and melted, and thereafter, the upper surface of the upper end opening edge portion 1a is passed through a melting resin 35 (adhesive material 14) in which the welding margins 31 and 32 are melted as shown in FIG. This portion is welded by being brought into contact with the lower surface of the lower butted portion 25 and being compressed in the direction of the arrow. In addition, the dimension and angle (theta) 1 of d1-d3 of Fig.11 (a) are respectively d1 = 1-2 mm, d2 = 0.5 mm, (theta) 1 = 5-45 degrees, d3 = 1-2 mm.

  In FIG. 12 (a), a convex welding allowance 31 is integrally projected upward from the center of the upper surface of the upper end opening edge 1a of the bowl portion 1, and the corners formed by the inner surface and the upper surface of the upper opening edge 1a are chamfered. Thus, a relief inclined surface 33 is formed. In addition, the lower surface of the outermost portion of the lower butted portion 25 of the rim portion 3 is positioned one step higher than the lower surface of the inner portion of the rim portion 3 to form the step portion 39, and the side surface of the step portion 39 The relief slope 33 is inclined so as to be located on the outer side as it goes upward. Then, the welding allowance 31 is heated and melted, and thereafter, the upper surface of the upper end opening edge 1a is brought into lower contact via the dissolving resin 35 (adhesive material 14) in which the welding allowance 31 is dissolved as shown in FIG. It is welded by being brought into contact with the lower surface of the portion 25 and compressed in the direction of the arrow. The dimension d4 and the angle θ2 in FIG. 12A are d4 = 1 to 2 mm and θ2 = 5 to 45 °, respectively.

  In any of the examples in FIGS. 11 and 12, when welded, between the lower butted portion 25 and the portion to be abutted with the lower butted portion 25 on the upper surface of the upper end opening edge 1 a. The melted resin 35 is filled in. Further, in this case, the melted resin 35 protrudes and fills the void 42 formed between each relief inclined surface 33 and the lower surface of the upper horizontal piece portion 24. Therefore, after the melted resin 35 is cured, the upper end opening edge portion that is close to and faces the lower surface of the lower butted portion 25 between the lower surface of the upper horizontal piece portion 24 and the upper surface of the upper end opening edge portion 1a. A melted resin 35 composed of a thin portion 43 interposed between the upper surface of la and a thick portion 44 on both sides continuous with the thin portion 43 and thicker than the thin portion 43, Thus, the upper surface of the upper end opening edge 1a and the lower surface of the lower abutting portion 25 are welded in a state where the upper surface is securely sealed. Further, on the outer side of the thin portion 43 and the thick portion 44 of the melted resin 35, the upper end portion of the peripheral wall of the skirt portion 2 (see FIGS. 3B and 3C) and the rising wall portion 13 (see FIG. 3) are covered. (Refer to (a)), and the thin portion 43 and the thick portion 44 of the dissolved resin 35 are covered from the outside by these covering portions. Therefore, the thin portion 43 and the thick portion 44 of the dissolved resin 35 are not exposed to the outside, and the appearance of the toilet bowl is not impaired by the dissolved resin 35. In particular, since the convex welding allowance 32 of FIG. 11 serving as an undercut portion is not provided on the lower surface of the upper horizontal piece portion 24 of the U-shaped portion 15 shown in FIG. 12, the rim portion 3 can be easily formed. .

  Further, the welding location A2 (that is, the upper surface of the stepped portion 6 of the bowl portion 1 and the lower surface of the outer end portion of the lower horizontal piece portion 22 of the rim portion 3) is welded as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 13A, a convex welding allowance 49 is integrally projected downward from the lower surface of the mounting portion 48 formed of the outer end portion of the lower horizontal piece portion 22 of the rim portion 3, and the upper surface of the step portion 6 is A concave relief recess 50 is formed at a location slightly inward from the welding allowance 49. Further, the inner edge corner portion of the step portion 6 is chamfered to form a relief inclined surface 51. Then, the welding allowance 49 is heated and melted, and then, as shown in FIG. 13B, the mounting portion 48 is placed on the stepped portion 6 via the dissolving resin 52 as the adhesive material 14 obtained by dissolving the welding allowance 49. By placing and compressing in the direction of the arrow, the upper surface of the stepped portion 6 and the lower surface of the lower horizontal piece portion 22 are welded. When welding is performed in this manner, the dissolved resin 52 is filled between the placement portion 48 and the portion where the placement portion 48 of the stepped portion 6 is placed. Further, in this case, the melted resin 52 protrudes and fills the space 53 formed between the escape recess 50 and the bottom surface of the escape slope 51 and the lower horizontal piece 22. Therefore, after the molten resin 52 is cured, the molten resin 52 between the upper surface of the stepped portion 6 and the lower surface of the mounting portion 48 becomes a step in the bowl portion 1 that is close to and opposite to the lower surface of the mounting portion 48. A thin-walled portion 54 interposed between the upper surface of the portion 6 and a thick-walled portion 55 that is filled in the escape recess 50 or the void 53 and continues to the thin-walled portion 54 and is thicker than the thin-walled portion 54. Thus, the upper surface of the stepped portion 6 and the lower surface of the mounting portion 48 are welded in a state of being reliably watertight. In addition, the dimension of d5-8 of Fig.13 (a) is d5 = 1-2 mm, d6 = 0.5 mm-2 mm, d7 = 1-2 mm, d8 = 0-2 mm, respectively.

  In addition, at the welding locations B1 to B3 of the skirt portion 2 and the rim portion 3, a protruding portion 56 is formed on one divided body of the skirt portion 2 and the rim portion 3 that are bonded and integrated as shown in FIGS. In addition, a recessed portion 57 is formed in the other divided body, the protruding portion 56 is fitted into the recessed portion 57, and the opposing surfaces of the protruding portion 56 and the recessed portion 57 are welded.

  In FIG. 14A, the welded portion 59 (the upper end surface of the rear half 2b, the upper end surface of the front side wall, or the upper end surface of the peripheral wall of the front half 2a) of the skirt portion 2, which is one of the divided bodies, is directed upward. And a convex welding allowance 60 is formed at the center of the upper surface of the protruding portion 56, and the welded portion 61 (the rear half 3b) of the rim 3 which is the other divided body. A concave recessed portion 57 is formed on the lower end surface, the lower surface of the lower butted portion 25 of the upper horizontal piece portion 24a, and the lower surface of the upper butted portion 29 of the upper surface constituting horizontal piece portion 28). Then, the welding allowance 60 is heated and melted, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14 (b), the protrusion 56 is formed in the recessed and recessed portion 57 via the dissolving resin 62 as the adhesive material 14 obtained by dissolving the welding allowance 60. By fitting, the protruding portion 56 and the recessed portion 57 are welded with the molten resin 62 interposed therebetween. In addition, the dimension of d9-12 of Fig.14 (a) is respectively d9 = d10 = 1.5-3mm, d11 = 0.5-1mm, d12 = 2-3mm.

  Further, in FIG. 15A, a plurality of convex protrusions 56 are formed upward on the welded portion 59 of the skirt portion 2 which is one divided body, and the welded portion of the rim portion 3 which is the other divided body. A V-groove-shaped recessed portion 57 is formed in 61, and in this example, the surface portion of the protruding portion 56 serves as a welding allowance. And in this example, the surface part of the protrusion part 56 is heated and melted, and then protrudes through a dissolving resin 64 as an adhesive material 14 obtained by dissolving the surface part of the protrusion part 56 as shown in FIG. By fitting the portion 56 into the recessed portion 57, the portion excluding the surface portion of the protruding portion 56 and the recessed portion 57 are welded with the molten resin 64 interposed therebetween. In addition, the dimension of d13-17 of Fig.15 (a) is d13 = 1mm, d14 = 1mm, d15 = 0-0.3mm, d16 = d17 = 0.5-2mm.

  In the welding examples shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the projecting portion 56 is fitted into the recessed portion 57 and the opposing surfaces of the projecting portion 56 and the recessed portion 57 are welded to form the two divided bodies 2 and 3. Since they are bonded and integrated, it is possible to prevent positional displacement between the divided bodies 2 and 3 when a force is applied to the toilet.

  14 and 15, when the protruding portion 56 is formed by partially protruding the welded portion 59, for example, the welded portion B2 (that is, the upper end surface of the front side wall portion of the skirt portion 2 and the rim portion). 3, the upper butted portion of the upper side piece 24 a of the lower half of the upper side piece 24 a, the upper end face of the peripheral wall of the front half 2 a of the skirt portion 2, and the upper side piece 28 of the rim portion 3. 29), there is a problem that the recessed portion 57 becomes an undercart portion.

A rim support portion 76 is provided on the lower surface of the upper compression plate 71a. The lower compression plate 71b is provided with a shaft 74 that is movable in the vertical direction. A bowl support 75 is provided at the upper end of the shaft 74 that protrudes upward from the lower compression plate 71b.

  In order to weld and integrate the three divided bodies 1 to 3 using the welding device 70, the skirt portion 2 is placed on the lower compression plate 71b as shown in FIG. The drain tube portion 5 of the bowl portion 1 is supported from below by the bowl support portion 75 of the shaft 74, and at the same time the rim portion 3 is supported by the rim support portion 76 of the upper compression plate 71a. A2, B1 to B3 are heated (for example, heating temperature 300 to 700 ° C., heating time 5 to 10 seconds). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 18 (b), the upper and lower compression plates 71a and 71b are brought closer to each other, and the shaft 74 is moved upward with respect to the lower compression plate 71b, whereby the upper half 2a of the skirt portion 2 is moved upward. The bowl portion 1 is housed from above, and the U-shaped portion 15 of the rim portion 3 is fitted into the upper end opening edge portion 1a of the bowl portion 1 from above to compress the divided bodies 1 to 3 in the vertical direction. Cool for at least 30 seconds.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 and the like, the skirt portion 2 is provided with reinforcing ribs 9 and holding pieces 10 for supporting the bowl portion 1 from below, so that the rim portion 3 and the bowl portion 1 are welded (that is, the rim portion). When the part 3 and the bowl part 1 are compressed in the vertical direction), the bowl-like part 4 of the bowl part 1 is placed on the upper surface of the plurality of reinforcing ribs 9 of the skirt part 2 and the curved receiving surface of the holding piece 10 The drain cylinder part 5 of the bowl part 1 is placed on 10a, and the bowl part 1 can be stably supported by the skirt part 2, whereby the bowl part 1 and the rim part 3 can be reliably welded. Further, the plurality of reinforcing ribs 9 and the holding pieces 10 can stably support a seating load when using the toilet bowl after welding, and can suppress deformation of the toilet bowl when sitting. It is sufficient that the reinforcing rib 9 and the holding piece 10 be disposed at a position that can support the load when a downward load is applied to the bowl portion 1 during the welding or use of the toilet bowl. The upper surface may be in contact with the lower surface of the bowl portion 1 as shown in FIG. 9, or a slight gap is formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the bowl portion 1 as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the upper surface may contact the lower surface of the bowl portion 1 only when a downward load is applied to the bowl portion 1 when using the toilet bowl.

  In this example, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 17, the upper horizontal piece portion 24a provided at the front edge of the U-shaped portion 15 is inclined with the horizontal upper horizontal piece portion 24b positioned behind the upper horizontal piece portion 24b. Since it is branched to the upper surface configuration horizontal piece portion 28, the upper horizontal piece portion 24 can be made horizontal so that the divided pieces 1 to 3 are compressed and welded in the vertical direction as described above. In addition, while the upper horizontal piece 24b and the upper surface configuration horizontal piece 28 are made to be substantially uniform thick without causing sink marks, the upper surface of the front half 2a of the rim 3 is designed to be other than a horizontal surface such as the inclined surface. The surface can be excellent.

  By the way, in the welding apparatus 70 shown in the said FIG. 18, the division bodies 1-3 before welding are hold | maintained horizontally with the same inclination attitude | position as after welding, and the upper surface and rim | limb of the upper end opening edge part 1a of the bowl part 1 are shown. The lower surface of the lower horizontal piece portion 22 of the U-shaped portion 15 of the portion 3 is made horizontal, and the welded portions A1, A2, B1 to 3 of the divided bodies 1 to 3 that are horizontal in the same manner as after the welding are heated by the heating plate 73. After heating, the divided bodies 1 to 3 are welded by being compressed in the vertical direction by the upper and lower compression plates 71a and 71b and the shaft 74. This is because the welding position A1, A2, B1, B2 where the welding surface is horizontal is surely welded by welding the bowl part 1 and the rim part 3 in the horizontal posture in the same manner as after the welding. . However, as shown in FIG. 18A, the welding apparatus 70 includes a horizontal upper surface of the upper end opening edge portion 1a of the bowl portion 1 and an inclined upper end surface of the front half portion 2a of the skirt portion 2 when heated by the heating plate 73. The bowl portion 1 and the skirt portion 2 are not held so as to be flush with each other. For this reason, the upper surface of the upper end opening edge portion 1a of the bowl portion 1 and the upper end surface of the front half portion 2a of the skirt portion 2 are In order to heat, it is necessary to make the shape of the heating plate 73 into a complicated shape as shown in FIG.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19, a bowl support portion 75 is provided on the welding device 70 so as to be rotatable about the left and right axes with respect to the shaft 74, and when heated by the heating plate 73, the bowl portion 1 is placed with the front side lowered. When the upper surface of the upper end opening edge portion 1a of the bowl portion 1 and the upper end surface of the front half portion 2a of the skirt portion 2 are positioned on the same plane, and thereafter, the divided bodies 1 to 3 are compressed and welded up and down. As shown in FIG. 18, it is preferable to rotate and hold the bowl portion 1 so as to be in a horizontal posture like the rim portion 3. In this case, the shape of the heating plate 73 can be simplified as shown in FIG.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and the like, if the lower horizontal piece 22 of the U-shaped portion 15 constituting the lower surface portion of the cleaning water flow path 16 is made horizontal, there arises a problem that dirt etc. accumulates in the cleaning water flow path 16. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the lower horizontal piece portion 22 of the U-shaped portion 15 is inclined to form a water gradient on the lower surface portion of the washing water channel 16, and the bowl portion is formed at the lower end portion of the washing water channel 16. A drain opening 77 that communicates with the inside 1 may be formed. Thereby, after the bowl part 1 is washed with water, the water in the washing water channel 16 can be smoothly drained from the drain hole as shown by the arrows in FIGS. Here, in FIG. 20, the lower horizontal piece 22 of the U-shaped portion 15 is inclined by an angle θ4 with respect to the horizontal plane so as to be positioned lower on the front side, thereby creating a water gradient on the lower surface portion of the cleaning water channel 16 and A drainage opening 77 is formed at the front end portion of the lower horizontal piece portion 22 provided at the front edge of the character-shaped portion 15, and in FIG. Inclined by an angle θ5 with respect to the horizontal plane so as to be positioned below, a water gradient is given to the lower surface portion of the washing water flow path 16, and the lower horizontal piece portion 22 provided at the rear edge of the U-shaped portion 15 is rearward. A drainage opening 77 is formed at the end.

  Further, in order to smoothly drain the washing water channel 16, as shown in FIG. 22, the lower horizontal piece portion 22 of the U-shaped portion 15 is inclined so as to be positioned downward as it goes outward, and the U-shaped A drain opening 77 may be provided at the outer end of the lower horizontal piece 22 of the portion 15, and in this case, the inclination of the lower horizontal piece 22 can be used as the draft of the side core 7 described above.

  20 to 22 may be provided at a position different from the above-described cleaning water outlet 23 in the inner and outer directions of the lower horizontal piece portion 22, or the cleaning water outlet 23 and the draining opening 77 May be provided at the same position in the inner and outer directions of the lower horizontal piece 22. Further, the drainage opening 77 may be formed by a through-hole penetrating the lower horizontal piece portion 22 vertically, or a gap formed between the outer end surface of the lower horizontal piece portion 22 and the inner peripheral wall surface of the bowl portion 1. You may comprise.
