Description

  Aspects of the invention generally relate to bathroom units.

  In the bathroom unit, for example, a washing floor and a bathtub are provided adjacent to each other, and a bath apron that closes an opening between them is provided.

  As a washroom floor part, there exists a thing which has a laminated structure of the base material and the surface material provided on a base material, for example. For example, such a property can be imparted to the surface of the washing floor by providing a surface material that has properties such as hydrophilicity and oil repellency that the substrate does not have on the substrate.

  Further, as described in, for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent No. 4174740), a cushion layer is provided between the base material and the surface material (surface layer), and the basic performance (abrasion resistance) that is insufficient with the cushion layer. , Chemical resistance, scratch resistance, weather resistance, waterproofing, etc.) can be imparted to the surface material, and a wash floor with excellent cushioning properties can be realized while having basic performance.

  In addition, by making the washing floor portion into a laminated structure, for example, a new surface material can be pasted on a recycled base material so that it is the same as a new one, which saves resources. For example, Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-63554) proposes a sheet to be attached to a floor surface of a washing place for remodeling use.

  In the wash floor part of such a laminated structure, the end of the surface apron side of the surface material is conventionally exposed at the wash floor part, for example, the bonding position of the base material and the surface material is shifted. If it does, the appearance will be greatly impaired. For this reason, the edge part of a surface material needs to be caulk-processed with high precision, and manufacture is difficult. Further, since the end portion of the surface material is a place where the user touches, an expensive caulking agent excellent in durability such as wear resistance is required.

FIG.

First, the outline | summary of the bathroom unit of embodiment is demonstrated with FIG.2 and FIG.3.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the bathroom unit 110 includes a washing floor 10, a bathtub 20, and a bath apron 30. The washing floor 10 is provided with a drain port 15.

  The washing floor 10 has a base material 11 and a surface material 12 bonded to the bathroom surface side of the base material 11, and has a laminated structure of at least two layers of the base material 11 and the surface material 12. For example, the washing floor 10 may further include a cushion layer provided between the base material 11 and the surface material 12 as long as it has a configuration of two or more layers.

The bathtub 20 is installed so as to be adjacent to the washing floor 10.
The bath apron 30 is installed so as to close an opening formed between the washing floor 10 and the bathtub 20.

  The base material 11 of the washing floor 10 is waterproof so that hot water does not leak out of the bathroom, and can bend even when subjected to static loads such as bathroom wall panels, ceiling panels, bath chairs, and washbasins, and dynamic loads of users. It is formed from a hard material with strength that does not break. The base material 11 is formed of, for example, a thermosetting resin such as FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) or a material obtained by reinforcing a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene.

  The surface material 12 of the washing floor 10 is made of a material that satisfies basic performance (durability) required for the washing floor, such as water resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and impact resistance. For the surface material 12, for example, rubber such as FRP, PVC (vinyl chloride), polypropylene, polyethylene, urethane resin, polyester resin, acrylic resin, various elastomers of styrene / polyester / olefin / acrylic, EVA, EPDM, silicone rubber, etc. (Hard) type, those prepared by adjusting the hardness to such an extent that sufficient durability can be expected, or composite materials obtained by adding fillers and reinforcing materials to these as bases are used. However, these materials are only examples, and the material of the surface material 12 may be any material that is tough enough to have sufficient durability for general use in the bathroom, and is not limited to those described above. . Note that the surface material 12 can have characteristics that the base material 11 does not have, such as hydrophilicity and oil repellency.

  In addition, when a cushion layer is provided between the base material 11 and the surface material 12, the cushion layer can be elastically deformed, and for example, a foam such as urethane can be used.

  Below, it demonstrates as the case where the washing-room floor part 10 is a 2 layer structure of the base material 11 and the surface material 12. FIG.

  The surface material 12 of the washing floor 10 is bonded to the base material 11 with an adhesive or the like, for example.

  The surface material 12 has an end 12 a on the side of the bath apron 30.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the bath apron 30 is provided on the end portion 12 a side of the surface material 12 of the washing floor 10.

FIG. 1 is an enlarged view of the AA ′ line cross section of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the end 12 a of the surface material 12 on the side of the bath apron 30 is disposed at a position covered with the bath apron 30.

  Thereby, the edge part 12a by the side of the bus apron 30 of the surface material 12 is covered with the bus apron 30, and the edge part 12a is not exposed. For this reason, the edge part process of the edge part 12a of the surface material 12 can be facilitated. For example, the processing of the end portion 12a may be rough and may not be processed depending on circumstances.

  And the joint of the surface material 12 and the base material 11 is covered with the bath apron 30, and is not exposed. For this reason, it is excellent in design property.

  Furthermore, since the end portion 12a of the surface material 12 is a place that cannot be reached by the user's eyes and hands, the design and characteristics are not impaired even when treated with an inexpensive caulking agent, and the cost is reduced. Can do.

Moreover, since the base material 11 is covered with the surface material 12 by employ | adopting this structure, the base material 11 can also be reduced in cost.
For example, when the end portion 12a on the side of the bath apron 30 of the surface material 12 is exposed, the base material 11 under the surface material 12 is visible to the user at that portion. For this reason, in order to give the base material 11 the appearance characteristics such as the target color and gloss and to enhance the design, pigments are mixed with the material to be the base material 11, and various surface treatments are applied to the base material 11. Etc. may be given. At this time, by adopting the configuration according to the present embodiment, for example, the above-mentioned mixing of pigments and various surface treatments can be omitted, and the cost of the substrate 11 can be reduced.

  In this specific example, the bath apron 30 is attached so as to press the surface material 12 against the base material 11 side. Thereby, the edge part 12a of the surface material 12 becomes difficult to peel off. Moreover, it can suppress that the surface material 12 deform | transforms with time.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, in this specific example, the bath apron 30 is attached to the wash floor 10 so that the water stop line 14 is formed. This water stop line 14 inserts a water stop packing such as foaming resin between a portion of the wash floor 10 facing the bath apron 30 and the bath apron 30, and crushes the water stop packing. In this way, the washing floor 10 and the bath apron 30 are fixed in a pressed state. The water stop line 14 prevents water from the washing floor 10 from entering the bathtub back side 21 (back side of the bathtub 20) covered with the bath apron 30 from the washing floor 10 side.

  And the edge part 12a by the side of the bath apron 30 of the surface material 12 is arrange | positioned upwards rather than the water stop line 14. FIG.

  With this arrangement, it is possible to prevent water from entering the joint between the end portion 12 a of the surface material 12 and the base material 11 by the water stop line 14. Thereby, water can hardly enter between the surface material 12 of the joint of the end portion 12 a and the base material 11. Further, since water does not enter the joint between the end portion 12a of the surface material 12 and the base material 11, the end processing of the end portion 12a of the surface material 12 can be simplified or omitted.

In the above, it is desirable that the surface of the portion of the surface material 12 that overlaps the water stop line 14 be formed in a planar shape. For example, if there is unevenness in the portion of the surface material 12 that overlaps the water stop line 14, the water stop may be insufficient in the recess and the bath apron 30 may be insufficient in water stop. On the other hand, the surface of the part which overlaps with the water stop line 14 of the surface material 12 is formed in the planar shape without an unevenness | corrugation, and the water stop in the water stop line 14 can fully be implemented.
Here, the “planar shape” does not necessarily need to be a strict flat surface, and may be substantially flat so that there is no unevenness and water stoppage is not lowered.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, a bank portion 13 that protrudes upward is provided on a portion of the base 11 that is covered with the bath apron 30 on the end of the bath apron 30. A bathtub flange 23 is disposed on the bath apron 30 above the bank portion 13.

  The bank portion 13 separates the washing area side and the bathtub side. And it is desirable to arrange | position the edge part 12a of the surface material 12 on the side surface by the side of the washing place of the bank part 13. FIG. That is, it is desirable that the surface material 12 is not disposed on the upper surface of the bank portion 13.

  If the surface material 12 extends to the upper surface of the bank portion 13 through the side surface of the bank portion 13, for example, the bathtub flange lower end 22 and the upper surface of the bank portion 13 are increased by the thickness of the surface material 12. The distance between changes. Depending on the distance between the lower end 22 of the bathtub flange and the upper surface of the bank portion 13, when the fixing position of the bath apron 30 is changed, the fitting structure of the bath apron 30 is changed.

  At this time, as in this specific example, when the end portion 12a of the surface material 12 is arranged on the side surface of the bank portion 13 on the washing place side, the distance between the bathtub flange lower end 22 and the upper surface of the bank portion 13 is the surface. It does not change depending on the presence or absence of the material 12. Thereby, there is an advantage that the bus apron 30 and the fixing method thereof can be made common regardless of the presence or absence of the surface material 12. That is, according to the bathroom unit 110 according to the present embodiment, the single-layer washing floor portion having no surface material, the bath apron 30 and the fixing method thereof can be shared.

  Further, in this specific example, a convex portion 13a protruding upward is provided on the upper surface of the bank portion 13, and a convex portion 31a protruding downward is provided on the mounting jig 31 of the bath apron 30, and these two convex portions are provided. The position of the part 13a and the convex part 31a is arrange | positioned so that it may mutually mesh | engage. Accordingly, the bus apron 30 is fixed in a state where the bus apron 30 is positioned at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the bank portion 13. At this time, the end portion 12a of the surface material 12 is disposed on the side surface on the washing place side of the bank portion 13, so that the surface material 12 does not hinder the engagement between the convex portion 13a and the convex portion 31a. . Thereby, fixation to the predetermined position of the bus apron 30 can be made easy.

  In addition, although this example is an example in which the edge part 12a of the surface material 12 is provided in the side surface by the side of the wash floor part 10 of the bank part 13, embodiment is not restricted above. That is, the end portion 12 a of the surface material 12 may be provided to extend to the bathtub back side 21 side of the bank portion 13. In this case, since the bathtub back side 21 and the washing floor 10 are separated in a watertight manner by the water stop line 14, the vertical position of the end 12 a of the surface material 12 is higher than that of the water stop line 14. It may be on the lower side.

  That is, the back side of the bathtub 20 and the side of the washing floor 10 are water-tightly partitioned by the water stop line 14, and the end 12a of the surface material 12 is disposed on the side of the bathtub back 21 that is water-tightly partitioned. . With this configuration, the water stop line 14 can suppress water from entering the joint between the end portion 12 a of the surface material 12 and the base material 11.

  As described above, the drainage port 15 is provided in the washing floor 10. And in the part of the drain port 15, the base material 11 is provided with the drain port part 11d opened below.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the surface material 12 is formed with a hanging portion 12 d that protrudes downward along the entire circumference of the drain port portion 11 d of the base material 11.

  Thereby, in the process of laminating the base material 11 and the surface material 12 at the time of manufacturing the washing floor 10, the hanging portion 12 d of the surface material 12 is inserted inside the drain port 11 d of the base material 11 for alignment. By doing this, it becomes easy to align the base material 11 and the surface material 12 with high accuracy.

  Further, the surface material 12 can be provided with a flat surface portion 12f and a rising portion 12s. The flat surface portion 12f is, for example, a portion that is laminated on the upper surface of the base material 11 excluding the bank portion 13. The rising portion 12 s is a portion that protrudes upward from the flat surface portion 12 f so as to follow the bank portion 13 of the base material 11. Then, at the rising portion 12 s, the end portion 12 a of the surface material 12 is disposed on the side surface of the bank portion 13 of the base material 11.

  The position of the rising portion 12 s of the surface material 12 is formed corresponding to the position of the bank portion 13 of the base material 11. Thereby, in the process of laminating the base material 11 and the surface material 12 when the washing floor 10 is manufactured, the bank portion 13 of the base material 11 and the rising portion 12s of the surface material 12 are aligned. Alignment of the base material 11 and the surface material 12 becomes easy.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, in the surface material 12 in a state before the base material 11 and the surface material 12 are bonded together, the surface is larger than the rising angle θ11 of the bank portion 13 of the base material 11. The rising angle θ12 of the rising portion 12s of the material 12 is set small. Here, the rising angle is an angle from a horizontal plane. When the rising angle is small, the rising angle is close to horizontal, and when the rising angle is large, the rising angle is close to vertical. That is, in the surface material 12 before the base material 11 and the surface material 12 are bonded together, the rising angle of the rising portion 12 s is made shallower than the bank portion 13 of the base material 11.

  By doing so, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the surface material 12 is laminated on the base material 11, the stress Fa extends along the bank portion 13 at the rising portion 12 s of the surface material 12. Join.

  Such a surface material 12 can be designed to have appropriate rigidity and flexibility.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 6C, when the base material 11 and the surface material 12 are laminated, a force F that presses against the surface material 12 and the base material 11 is generated.

  With this configuration, the position of the surface material 12 is constrained. Then, due to the difference in angle between the rising portion 12 s of the surface material 12 and the bank portion 13 of the base material 11, a force F directed toward the bank portion 13 of the base material 11 is applied to the rising portion 12 s of the surface material 12. Is done. Thereby, the rising portion 12s and the bank portion 13 are in pressure contact with each other. With such a configuration, the end portion 12a of the surface material 12 on the side of the bath apron 30 is hardly peeled off.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these specific examples. For example, regarding the specific configuration of each element such as a washing floor, a bathtub, a bath apron, a base material, and a surface material constituting a bathroom unit, those skilled in the art similarly select the present invention by appropriately selecting from a known range. It is included in the scope of the present invention as long as the same effect can be obtained.
Moreover, what combined any two or more elements of each specific example in the technically possible range is also included in the scope of the present invention as long as the gist of the present invention is included.

  In addition, all bathroom units that can be implemented by those skilled in the art based on the bathroom unit described above as an embodiment of the present invention are also within the scope of the present invention as long as they include the gist of the present invention. .
