BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is installed in a hand-washing part of a low tank with hand-washing of a flush toilet, and is suitable for mixing chemicals (fragrances, cleaning agents, disinfectants, etc.) with water supplied from a currant above the hand-washing part. Concerning the container.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a conventional container for aroma cleaning droplets for a flush toilet, those described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-34457 are known. In this fragrance cleaning liquid drop container, water poured from the currant is guided to the mixing case that mixes the fragrance cleaning liquid and water, and the float valve is pushed up as the water level in the mixing case rises to release the bottle of the fragrance cleaning liquid. At the same time, the air in the mixing case pressurized is sent into the bottle, and then when the water injection from the currant stops, the float valve is lowered and the aromatic cleaning liquid is discharged from the bottle into the mixing case. When water injection from the currant is started again, the aromatic cleaning liquid mixed with water in the mixing case is drained from the drain port of the mixing case to the hand washing section.
[0003]

[0008]
As shown in the figure, the medicine discharge container 100 includes a medicine tank 2 in which medicine A such as a toilet fragrance cleaning liquid is placed, and a water storage tank 1 stacked on the medicine tank 2.
[0009]
An inlet 3 is provided at the top of the water storage tank 1, and when the medicine discharge container 100 is placed on the hand-washing part 20 of the hand-washed low tank of the flush toilet, the water W supplied from the currant is shown in FIG. It enters into the water storage tank 1 as an arrow.
Further, a drain port 4 for discharging the water W stored in the water storage tank 1 to the outside is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank 1. This drain port 4 is always open. The size and the number of the drain ports 4 are determined as appropriate so that even if the water entering the water storage tank 1 from the injection port 3 continues to be drained from the drain port 4, the water is still stored in the water storage tank 1.
[0010]
On the other hand, the medicine tank 2 is provided with an elastic portion 6 made of a dome-shaped rubber member that is deformed by a pressing force corresponding to the amount of water stored in the water storage tank 1 at the top, and a medicine replenishing port is provided at the bottom. Part 10 is provided. The drug tank 2 itself is formed so as not to be substantially deformed so that the pressure in the drug tank 2 is increased by the deformation of the elastic portion 6.
[0011]
The medicine replenishing port 10 of the medicine tank 2 can be opened and closed by a cap 12 screwed into the peripheral wall 11.
[0012]
The cap 12 is provided with a medicine discharge port 5 for discharging the medicine so as to protrude downward. The drug tank 2 communicates with the outside only at the drug discharge port 5. The drug A stays on the drug discharge port 5 by surface tension or negative pressure in the drug tank 2 so that the drug A does not continue to drop naturally from the drug discharge port 5 and is consumed unnecessarily. Therefore, the opening area of the medicine discharge port 5 is appropriately determined according to the nature of the medicine.
[0013]
As a method of using the medicine discharge container 100, the medicine discharge container 100 is first placed on the hand-washing portion 20 of the low tank with hand-washing of the flush toilet in the state where the medicine A is filled in the medicine tank 2. In this case, the injection port 3 of the water storage tank 1 is positioned below the currant, and the medicine discharge port 5 is fitted into the water supply port 21 of the raw tank that opens to the hand-washing unit 20 (FIG. 1 (a)). .
[0014]
When the water W is poured from the currant as shown by the arrow, the water is stored in the water storage tank 1 while being drained from the drain port 4 (FIG. 1 (a)). The elastic part 6 is gradually deformed by the weight of the water stored in the water storage tank 1, and when the amount of water stored in the water storage tank 1 exceeds a certain amount, the elastic part 6 is crushed as shown in FIG. The internal pressure of the tank 2 is increased, and the medicine A is discharged from the medicine discharge port 5. The discharged medicine A enters the low tank from the water supply port 21. When the water injection from the currant stops, the water W stored in the water storage tank 1 flows out from the drain 4 and the force that the water storage tank 1 pushes the elastic part 6 becomes weak, and the elastic part 6 recovers to its original shape. To do. At this time, since the inside of the medicine tank 2 has a negative pressure, air enters the medicine tank 2 through the medicine discharge port 5 as indicated by an arrow B, and the inside of the medicine tank 2 returns to normal pressure or is in a weak negative pressure state. (FIG. 1 (c)). Thereafter, this action is repeated each time water is poured from the currant, and the medicine A is dripped into the low tank by a certain amount.
[0015]
As described above, according to the medicine discharge container 100, water can be injected from the currant without using a valve body such as a float valve, and the medicine can be simply dripped into the raw tank in a fixed amount by a simple mechanism. it can. Further, since the medicine A is directly dropped into the raw tank, the hand washing part 20 is not soiled with the medicine A.
[0016]
The replenishment of the medicine A into the medicine tank 2 may be performed by removing the cap 12 from the medicine replenishing port 10 and filling the medicine A from the medicine replenishing mouth 10 having a large opening. Can be easily refilled.
[0017]
The water storage tank 1 and the medicine tank 2 constituting the medicine discharge container 100 can be easily manufactured using a plastic molded body as a constituent member. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the bottom member 14 and the side wall member 15, the drug tank 2, and the cap 12 of the water storage tank 1 are plastic molded into predetermined shapes, respectively, and the bottom member 14 and the side wall member 15 are first fused or The water storage tank 1 is formed by bonding, the cap 12 is screwed into the medicine replenishing port 10 of the medicine tank 2, the elastic part 6 is fitted on the top of the medicine tank 2, and the water storage tank 1 is stacked thereon. The medicine discharge container 100 can be easily manufactured simply by placing it.
[0018]
FIG. 5 is a perspective view (FIG. 5 (a)) and a side view (FIG. 5 (b)) of a medicine discharge container 101 according to a different embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the operation of the medicine discharge container 101. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of components of the chemical liquid discharge container 101.
[0019]
In the medicine discharge container 100 described above, the water storage tank 1 is composed of two members, that is, the bottom member 14 and the side wall member 15, whereas in the medicine discharge container 101, the bottom tank / side wall member 16 is composed of a single member. Thus, it can be easily manufactured with a smaller number of parts.
[0020]
Moreover, the diameter L1 of the inlet 3 of the water storage tank 1 is larger than the bottom diameter L2 of the water storage tank 1 (FIG. 4A). Therefore, when the amount of water stored in the water storage tank 1 is constant, the water depth required in the water storage tank 1 can be reduced, and thus the height of the water storage tank 1 can be set low. Therefore, the distance L3 between the currant 22 and the medicine discharge container 101 when the medicine discharge container 101 is placed in the hand-washing portion 20 of the flush toilet can be increased, and hand washing becomes easy.
[0021]
Further, by increasing the diameter L1 of the injection port 3 of the water storage tank 1, the injection port 3 can easily receive water injected from the currant 22, so More deviation from the position 22 can be tolerated. In the medicine discharge container of the present invention, when water poured from the currant 22 does not enter the injection port 3, the elastic portion 6 is deformed by pushing the water storage tank 1 directly by hand, and the medicine A is discharged. Also good.
[0022]
The mechanism in which the medicine discharge container 101 discharges the medicine A from the medicine tank 2 is the same as that of the medicine discharge container 100 described above. When water is poured from the currant 22, the water W is stored in the water storage tank 1 (FIG. 4A). ), The deformation of the elastic portion 6 causes the medicine A in the medicine tank 2 to be discharged from the medicine discharge port 5 (FIG. 4B), and the water stored in the water storage tank 1 is discharged by stopping the water injection from the currant. The elastic part 6 returns to its original shape, and air enters the drug tank 2 from the drug discharge port 5, and the drug tank 2 returns to normal pressure or is maintained in a weak negative pressure state.
[0023]

The drug discharge container 102 is formed at the bottom of the cap 12 of the drug tank 2 when the legs 13 are formed long in the drug discharge container 101 of FIGS. 4 to 6 and the drug discharge container 102 is placed on an arbitrary plane. The medicine discharge port 5 provided so as to protrude downward is not attached to a flat surface. By lengthening the legs 13 in this way, it is not necessary to place the medicine discharge port 5 in accordance with the water supply port 21 of the low tank when the medicine discharge container 102 is placed in the hand washing portion 20 of the flush toilet. 20, even when the low tank water supply port 21 is not provided directly below the currant 22, the medicine can be discharged by water injection from the currant. In addition, when forming the leg 13 long, it is not always necessary to form the leg 13 longer than the length from which the medicine discharge port 5 protrudes from the beginning, and the form is formed in the hand-washing portion of the flush toilet on which the medicine discharge container 101 is placed. If necessary, the protruding portion of the medicine discharge port 5 may be cut short with scissors or the like. Also, the drug discharge container is placed in accordance with the position of the water supply port 21 of the low tank by forming the legs 13 long and forming the protruding portion of the drug protruding port 5 in a shape that is easily bent or made of a material that is easily bent. Is no longer necessary.
[0024]
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the medicine ejection container 103 in which the push-pull mechanism 17 is provided in the cap 12 of the medicine replenishing port 10 and the legs 13 are directly provided in the medicine tank 2 in the medicine ejection container 100 of FIGS. It is. According to this medicine discharge container 103, when the product is not used until the consumer starts using the product, the medicine discharge port 5 is closed by the push-pull mechanism 17 as shown in FIG. Leakage can be prevented, and when the consumer discloses the use at the hand-washing unit 20, the medicine discharge port 5 can be opened as shown in FIG.
[0025]
As an opening / closing mechanism for the medicine discharge port 5, a known opening / closing mechanism such as a turret type, a hinge cap type, or a needle type may be provided instead of the push-pull mechanism 17.
[0026]
In addition, the present invention can take various forms. For example, the medicine replenishing port 10 may be provided on the side surface of the medicine tank 2 as long as it can be opened and closed.
[0027]
In addition, the shape of the water storage tank 1 is not particularly limited as long as water can be stored by pouring water from the currant and the stored water can be discharged by stopping the water injection.
[0028]
As the elastic portion 6, various elastic members can be used in addition to the dome-shaped rubber member as long as it is deformed by increasing the pressing force and restored by decreasing the pressing force. For example, a plastic bellows or a metal coil spring may be used.
