Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet bowl with a luminaire that can illuminate the inside of a bowl portion.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it is known that a hot water washing toilet seat device that is separate from a toilet bowl is mounted and attached to the toilet bowl. And this warm water washing toilet seat apparatus is comprised by attaching the toilet seat and the valve lid to the main-body part which incorporated the hot water washing mechanism mounted and mounted in a toilet bowl. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228667 discloses a warm water cleaning toilet seat device as described above provided with a lighting fixture for illuminating the inside of a bowl portion of a toilet bowl.

In the above conventional example, it is necessary to separately attach a warm water washing toilet seat device separate from the toilet bowl in order to illuminate the inside of the bowl portion of the toilet bowl, and the hot water washing toilet seat mounted and mounted on the upper surface of the rear part of the toilet bowl Since the luminaire is provided in the main body of the apparatus, there is a problem that the luminaire is located above the toilet and the inside of the bowl portion of the toilet cannot be illuminated widely. In particular, since the warm water washing toilet seat device is mounted and mounted on various toilet bowls having different shapes and sizes, it is difficult to illuminate the bowl portion of the toilet bowl widely and reliably.
JP 2006-34993 A

  The present invention has been invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and can illuminate the interior of the bowl part widely and effectively by a lighting device built in the toilet bowl itself, and the lighting fixture is attached to the toilet bowl itself. It is an object of the present invention to provide a toilet that can prevent sewage and splashing water from splashing on the lighting fixtures and illuminate the interior of the toilet itself. It is.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a toilet with a lighting device according to the present invention is provided with a recess 50 having a rear opening at the rear of the rim 2 provided at the upper end opening edge of the bowl 1 of the toilet 5 and in the recess 50. A pair of fitting rails 52 extending in the front-rear direction with rear end portions serving as fitting inlets 51 are provided, and a light emitting opening 29 is provided at the bottom of the recess 50 between the fitting rails 52. Is covered with a transparent waterproof member 53, and the fitting portions 54 provided on both the left and right sides of the lighting fixture 6 are fitted into the fitting rail 52, and the lighting fixture 6 is overlapped on the waterproof member 53. .

  By adopting such a configuration, the interior of the bowl portion 1 can be illuminated by the illumination fixture 6 provided in the toilet bowl 5 itself. Therefore, when the interior of the bowl portion 1 is illuminated, a conventional illumination fixture is provided. It is not necessary to attach a separate warm water washing toilet seat device to the toilet bowl 5, and the inside of the bowl portion 1 can be widely and effectively illuminated. Moreover, since the lighting fixture 6 is provided in the toilet bowl 5 itself, even if the shape and size of the toilet bowl 5 are different, the toilet bowl 5 is illuminated so as to effectively illuminate the inside of the bowl portion 1 corresponding to the corresponding toilet bowl 5. Since the fixture 6 can be equipped, the inside of the bowl portion 1 can be illuminated widely and effectively, and the inside of the bowl portion 1 is irradiated by the lighting fixture 6 installed in the rear portion of the rim portion 2. It is possible to effectively illuminate the water reservoir 14b provided at the rear part of the bottom, and it becomes easy to check the state of excrement.

  Moreover, when providing the lighting fixture 6 in the toilet bowl 5 itself, it can be attached by fitting from behind using a pair of fitting rails 52 provided in a recess 50 provided in the rear of the rim portion 2 and opening in the rear. The lighting fixture 6 can be easily attached to the toilet 5, and the inside of the bowl portion 1 is irradiated from the inside of the rim portion 2 through the opening 29 for light emission. 29 is covered with a transparent waterproofing member 53, and the lighting fixture 6 is mounted on the waterproofing member 53 in an overlapping manner, so that the scattered water generated by the sewage and cleaning water generated in the bowl portion 1 is scattered by the light emitting opening 29. Can be prevented from entering the lighting fixture 6 side.

  Further, a lower protrusion 61 fitted into the light emitting opening 29 is provided on the lower surface of the waterproof member 53 that is overlapped with the bottom of the recess 50, and a locking portion 55 is provided on the upper surface of the waterproof member 53. It is preferable that a locked portion 56 to be locked to the locking portion 55 is provided in the portion.

  The waterproof member 53 is fitted into the light emitting opening 29 so that it does not move along the bottom of the recess 50, and the locked portion 56 of the lighting fixture 6 fitted forward from the rear end of the fitting rail 52. Is locked to the locking portion 55 of the waterproof member 53, so that the lighting fixture 6 can be easily mounted so as not to move. That is, the lighting fixture 6 can be attached and easily attached only by fitting the lighting fixture 6 into the fitting rail 52 from the rear opening side of the recess 50.

  Further, it is preferable that the vertical groove width of the rail groove 57 of the fitting rail 52 gradually increases toward the fitting inlet 51 side of the rear end portion of the rail groove 57 of the fitting rail 52.

  With such a configuration, the operation of fitting the lighting fixture 6 into the fitting rail 52 from the rear opening side of the recess 50 can be performed more easily.

  In the present invention, as described above, the lighting device for illuminating the inside of the bowl portion is provided on the toilet bowl itself, so that a separate hot water washing toilet seat device equipped with the lighting device is attached to the toilet bowl for the illumination inside the bowl portion. Such a thing is not necessary, and a toilet bowl with a clean appearance can be obtained. In addition, by illuminating the inside of the bowl part, when going to the toilet in the half-awake state at night, the position of the bowl part of the toilet bowl can be confirmed even when the toilet room light is turned off, so that the toilet room light is not awakened Can be added. Moreover, since the inside of a bowl part can be illuminated, excrement can be observed and a physical condition can be confirmed. Furthermore, when installing the lighting fixture in the bowl portion, the lighting fixture can be easily attached by inserting the lighting fixture forward from the rear of the rim portion, and sewage and washing water generated in the bowl portion can be removed. It is possible to prevent the scattered water from entering the luminaire side from the light emitting opening, and to prevent the luminaire side from being contaminated by dirty water.
