It is possible to perform facility protection cleaning that suppresses the propagation of germs in the road (not shown) and suppresses adhesion of urine stones and the like.

  1 to 5 again, the detailed structure of the urinal body 2 of the urinal 1 will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the urinal 1 according to the present embodiment is a urinal of the type in which an automatic toilet cleaning unit 4 is stored in a storage chamber 6 formed at the upper end of the urinal body 2. It is. In this embodiment, in such a type of urinal 1, the front surface 7 of the storage chamber 6 of the urinal body 2 is formed continuously with the bowl surface 8 and inclined rearward. In the urinal body 2, the front surface 7 of the storage chamber 6 is integrated with the bowl surface 8. Furthermore, the front surface 7 of the storage chamber 6 is formed continuously with the upper side of the bowl surface 8 and further inclined toward the rear. Here, “continuous” of the front surface 7 and the bowl surface 8 of the storage chamber 6 means that the front surface 7 and the bowl surface 8 of the storage chamber 6 are formed flush or substantially flush. Yes. Moreover, it does not need to be completely flush, and for example, there may be a small step, and it is sufficient that the washing water flowing from the front surface of the storage chamber 6 to the bowl surface 8 does not peel off.

  The bowl surface 8 has an arc-shaped (arch-shaped) front portion 8a that is open from the top to the bottom so that the front surface faces the user. The bowl surface 8 is not provided with a side surface portion that protrudes in the shape of a wall forward from the conventional bowl surface in the upper region of the bowl surface 8 where the spreader 28 is provided, and only from the front surface portion 8a. Is formed. Such a front portion 8a forms a forward curved surface in which the perpendicular of the tangent of its curved surface extends in a direction toward the user standing in front of the urinal body 2.

  The front portion 8a of the bowl surface 8 is formed as a concave curved surface that is continuous in the left-right direction. The front portion 8a is a curved surface that follows the curved surface of the user's trunk so that the curved surface of the user's trunk can be easily received. The upper region formed only from the front surface portion 8a of the bowl surface 8 is an arc (curvature radius R) drawn with one curvature radius R from the left end portion 8b to the right end portion 8c of the bowl surface 8 in plan view. Is an arc that does not change substantially in the middle, and is formed along an arc called a single R), and a central portion of the arc forms a single R region 8g disposed on the rear side. . That is, in the single R region 8g, the curved surface is formed by a substantially single arc shape having a substantially single radius of curvature R. The single R region 8g is formed such that the radius of curvature of the arc gradually decreases from the upper end 8d of the bowl surface 8 downward, and the curvature gradually increases. The single R region 8g of the bowl surface 8 is formed at least in a range of 200 mm from the upper end of the bowl surface 8, and preferably in a region of 300 mm from the upper end. A region further below the single R region 8g of the bowl surface 8 forms a composite R region 8h which is a combination of arcs having two types of curvature radii R, or a combined shape portion formed by combining arcs and straight lines. Yes.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the bowl surface 8 is positioned at a distance L1 (L1 = 150 mm) from the upper end 8d of the bowl surface 8 in the single R region 8g, that is, the front surface 7 of the storage chamber 6 and the spreader. It is formed by a front portion 8a formed by an arc having a single radius of curvature with a radius of curvature R1 (R1 = 300 mm), which is a large radius of curvature in plan view, at a nearby height position. The bowl surface 8 has a curvature radius R2 (a curvature radius smaller than the curvature radius R1 in plan view at a position of a distance L2 (L2 = 300 mm) from the upper end 8d of the bowl surface 8 in the single R region 8g. R2 = 200 mm) is formed by a front portion 8a formed by an arc having a single radius of curvature. The radius of curvature of the front portion 8a in the single R region 8g is set, for example, in the range of 200 to 500 mm, preferably in the range of 200 to 400 mm.

The bowl surface 8 is a compound arc formed by combining arcs having two kinds of curvature radii in plan view at a position of a distance L3 (L3 = 450 mm) from the upper end 8d of the bowl surface 8 in the compound R region 8h. It is formed by a front portion 8a having a shape.
In the lower combined R region, the bowl surface 8 has a left end portion 8b and a right end portion 8c extending forward, and a central portion 8e retracted rearward. For example, a distance from the upper end 8d of the bowl surface 8 At the position of L4 (L4 = 500 mm), it is formed by an arc-shaped portion 8g (front portion 8a) that opens in a direction toward the user in plan view and a linear portion 8h (side portion) extending on both sides thereof. Yes.

The bowl surface 8 is arranged so that the left end portion 8b and the right end portion 8c protrude forward from the center portion 8e in a certain horizontal section. Further, the front surface portion 8a of the bowl surface 8 is arranged such that the left end portion 8b and the right end portion 8c gradually protrude forward as it goes downward.
Further, the bowl surface 8 is formed to be inclined rearward from the upper end 8d of the bowl surface 8 downward. Accordingly, the central portion 8e of the front portion 8a is formed on the back side so as to gradually retreat downward from the upper end 8d. Further, since the spreader 28 is disposed slightly rearward of the central portion 8e, the user can easily approach the front portion 8a.

  In the lower part of the bowl surface 8, a left end 8b and a right end 8c protrude forward toward the tip 8f. While the user approaches the bowl surface 8 at the upper part of the bowl surface 8, the tip 8f at the lower part of the bowl surface 8 protrudes toward the user side, so that the user's urine hangs down on the floor. It is difficult to cause spillage that stains the floor. The lower part of the bowl surface 8 is formed on the lower side so as to collect the wash water flowing down and guide it to the discharge port 10.

Next, returning to FIGS. 6 to 12, the detailed structure of the spreader 28 will be described.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a spreader of a urinal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing a state in which the spreader of the urinal according to the embodiment of the present invention is attached to a bowl surface from the side. FIG. 8 is a schematic view showing a state in which the spreader of the urinal according to the embodiment of the present invention is attached to the bowl surface, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IX-IX in FIG. 10 is a schematic view showing the configuration of the flow path of the automatic toilet cleaning unit of the urinal according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XI-XI in FIG. 7, and FIG. It is sectional drawing seen along the XII-XII line | wire of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7 and the like, in the automatic toilet cleaning unit 4, the spreader 28 is attached to the front surface 7 of the storage chamber 6 of the front portion 8 a of the urinal body 2.

  The first supply passage 38 is connected to the tip of the first water supply pipe 16 and forms a water passage independent of the second supply passage 40. The first supply passage 38 supplies cleaning water having a relatively high instantaneous flow rate to the first water discharge port 34. The second supply passage 40 is connected to the tip of the second water supply pipe 18 and forms a water passage independent of the first supply passage 38. The second supply passage 40 supplies cleaning water having a relatively low instantaneous flow rate to the second water discharge port portion 36. The first supply passage 38 and the second supply passage 40 extend linearly from the back side to the front side of the bowl surface 8 in parallel with each other in the spreader 28.

The first water outlet 34 is a fan-shaped first wall between the first water outlet front wall 34b and the first water outlet rear wall 34c between the left and right first water outlet upper walls 34a below the spreader 28. One opening passage 34d is formed.
The first water discharge port portion 34 is formed with a first water discharge port upper wall 34a at a position of approximately 40 ° symmetrically from the vertically lower side. Accordingly, the angle A1 between the left and right first water outlet upper walls 34a is formed to be about 80 °. The angle A1 between the left and right first water outlet upper walls 34a is, for example, in the range of 50 ° to 120 °, preferably in the range of 60 ° to 90 °. Since the first water outlet upper wall 34a forms the upper end of the opening passage 34d of the first water outlet 34, the wash water discharged from the first water outlet 34 along the left and right first water outlet upper walls 34a. The upper edge of the wash water discharged from the first water discharge port 34 is regulated. In addition, since the first water outlet upper wall 34a extends downward from the horizontal, even when the instantaneous flow rate per unit area of the cleaning water flowing out from the first water outlet 34 is increased, the cleaning water The spread in the left-right direction can be suppressed.

The first water outlet front wall 34b is formed in a fan shape and forms the front surface of the opening passage 34d so that the cleaning water supplied from the first supply passage 38 collides with itself and spreads in the fan-shaped region of the opening passage 34d. It can be shed. The first water outlet front wall 34b is formed to be inclined rearward.
The first water outlet rear wall 34c is connected to the first supply passage 38 at the center upper portion thereof. The first water outlet rear wall 34c is formed in a fan shape, forms a rear surface of the first water outlet 34, and is supplied from the first supply passage 38 to the first water outlet front wall 34b. Is allowed to flow so as to spread over the fan-shaped region of the first water discharge port 34. The first water outlet rear wall 34c extends in parallel with the first water outlet front wall 34b and is inclined toward the rear. The backward inclination angle of the first water outlet rear wall 34c is larger than the backward inclination angle of the bowl surface 8 in the vicinity of the first water outlet rear wall 34c. Therefore, the wash water is discharged from the first water discharge port 34 toward the front surface 7 of the storage chamber 6.

  The second water outlet 36 is formed by a right second right water outlet 36r and a left second left water outlet 36l. In the present embodiment, the second water outlet 36 is divided into two openings, a second right water outlet 36r and a second left water outlet 36l, but the second right water outlet 36l. You may form by one opening by match | combining 36r and the 2nd left side water discharge port part 36l.

The second right water outlet 36r includes a second water outlet upper wall 36a that forms the upper end of the second right water outlet 36r, and a second water outlet hanging wall 36e that extends to the lower end of the second right water outlet 36r. A second water outlet front wall 36b that forms the front wall surface of the second right water outlet 36r, and a second water outlet rear wall 36c that forms the rear wall surface of the second right water outlet 36r; It has.
The second left water outlet 36l includes a second water outlet upper wall 36a that forms the upper end of the second left water outlet 36l and a second water outlet hanging wall 36e that extends to the lower end of the second left water outlet 36l. A second water outlet front wall 36b that forms the front wall surface of the second left water outlet 36l, and a second water outlet rear wall 36c that forms the rear wall of the second left water outlet 36l; It has.
The second water discharge port portion 36 is a second discharge port common between the second water discharge port upper wall 36a of the second right water discharge port portion 36r and the second water discharge port upper wall 36a of the second left water discharge port portion 36l. A substantially fan-shaped second opening passage 36d is formed in the lower part of the spreader 28 between the water front wall 36b and the second water outlet rear wall 36c.

In the second water discharge port portion 36, a second water discharge port upper wall 36a is formed at a position of approximately 115 ° symmetrically from the vertically lower side. Therefore, the angle A2 between the left and right second water discharge upper walls 36a is formed to be about 230 °. The angle A2 between the left and right second water discharge outlet upper walls 36a is, for example, in the range of 190 ° to 250 °, preferably in the range of 210 ° to 230 °. Since the second water discharge upper wall 36a forms the upper end of the second opening passage 36d of the second water discharge port 36, the wash water discharged from the second water discharge port 36 is the left and right second water discharge upper walls 36a. The upper edge of the spread of the wash water discharged from the second water discharge port 36 is determined. The second water discharge port upper wall 36a extends upward from the horizontal toward the left and right outer sides, and is formed so that the outer side of the second water discharge port is directed upward. Therefore, the second water discharge port upper wall 36a is extended from the second water discharge port portion 36. The upper edge of the cleaning water flowing out along the line is discharged from the spreader 28 so as to rise obliquely upward.
The second water discharge port portion 36 can discharge the wash water so as to diffuse over the region between the left and right second water discharge port upper walls 36a, and has a water curtain that extends from diagonally upward and downward to the vicinity of both left and right ends in the horizontal direction. Can be formed.

The second water discharge front wall 36b is formed in a fan shape, forms the front surfaces of the second right water discharge port 36r and the second left water discharge port 36l, and supplies the wash water supplied from the second supply passage 40 to itself. It can be made to flow so that it can collide and spread in the sector area of each 2nd opening channel | path 36d. The second water outlet front wall 36b is formed to be inclined rearward.
The second water outlet rear wall 36c is connected to the second supply passage 40 at the center upper portion thereof. The second water discharge port rear wall 36c is formed in a fan shape, forms the rear surface of the second right water discharge port part 36r and the second left water discharge port part 36l, and the second water discharge port front wall 36b. The washing water supplied from the supply passage 40 can be flown so as to spread over the fan-shaped region of the second water discharge port portion 36. The second water discharge port rear wall 36c extends in parallel with the second water discharge port front wall 36b and is inclined to the rear. The rearward inclination angle of the second water discharge port rear wall 36c is larger than the rearward inclination angle of the bowl surface 8 in the vicinity of the second water discharge port rear wall 36c. Therefore, the wash water is discharged from the second water discharge port 36 toward the front surface 7 of the storage chamber 6. The first water outlet front wall 34b, the first water outlet rear wall 34c, the second water outlet front wall 36b, and the second water outlet rear wall 36c form parallel planes.

  The second water discharge port portion 36 is at least a part of itself so that the first water discharge port portion 34 and the second water discharge port portion 36 are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction when viewed from the front of the spreader 28. Is disposed so as to overlap the first water discharge port 34 in the front-rear direction. More specifically, the second water discharge port portion 36 forms an opening for discharging water over a wide range so as to cover the first water discharge port portion 34 when viewed from the front of the spreader 28. Moreover, since the 1st water discharge port part 34 and the 2nd water discharge port part 36 are arrange | positioned along with the front-back direction (thickness direction) of the spreader 28, the spreader 28 can be formed compactly.

Next, the operation of the urinal according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
First, only the flow of the urine washing operation by the urinal 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Normally, when the user stands in front of the urinal 1, the human body detection sensor 30 detects the presence of the user and sends detection information to the control unit 32, and the control unit 32 recognizes the presence of the user. When the user finishes urination on the bowl surface 8 of the urinal 1 and the user who has finished urination leaves from the front of the urinal 1 and the human body detection sensor 30 is in a non-detection state, the control unit 32 causes the user to urinate the urinal. The control unit 32 starts urine washing by determining that it has left 1.

  In the urine washing operation, the control unit 32 sends a control signal to the second opening / closing valve 26 to open the second opening / closing valve 26, and the washing water supplied from the main water supply pipe 14 is supplied from the second water supply pipe 18 to the second supply. Supply to the passage 40. At this time, the instantaneous flow rate per unit area of the cleaning water supplied to the second supply passage 40 is adjusted by the second flow rate adjusting device 24 to the above-described relatively low instantaneous flow rate range. As will be described later, the cleaning water is supplied to the bowl surface 8 from one main water supply pipe 14 through the first water supply pipe 16 and the second water supply pipe 18 that supply cleaning water having different instantaneous flow rates. Become. The wash water supplied to the second supply passage 40 is diffused so as to collide with the second water discharge port front wall 36b in the second water discharge port portion 36 and spread between the left and right second water discharge port upper walls 36a. It flows like. The wash water discharged from the second water discharge port portion 36 is discharged so as to spread upward from between the left and right second water discharge port upper walls 36a in the left-right direction, and in the front-rear direction, before the second water discharge port. It is discharged rearward from the space between the wall 36b and the second water discharge port rear wall 36c toward the bowl surface 8 on the rear side. 1 and 12, the flow of cleaning water discharged from the second water discharge port 36 is indicated by an arrow A. The upper wash water in the second water discharge port portion 36 is discharged so as to rise obliquely upward and downward along the second water discharge port upper wall 36a inclined upward from the horizontal.

  Since the angle between the left and right second water discharge port upper walls 36a is formed to be relatively large, the wash water discharged from the second water discharge port part 36 is discharged over a wide range from the left and right upper side of the bowl surface 8 to the center lower side. Is done. Moreover, the wash water discharged from the second water discharge port 36 can be washed over a wide range from the left and right diagonally upper left and right regions of the spreader 28 to the left and right regions wider than the central region of the bowl surface 8. The region where the wash water is discharged from the second water discharge port portion 36 is a region that covers the region where the wash water is discharged from the first water discharge port portion 34 described later. Since the wash water discharged from the second water discharge port 36 is a wash water having a relatively low instantaneous flow rate, the wash water reaches the vicinity of both left and right ends of the bowl surface 8 to perform cleaning, while the right and left sides of the bowl surface 8 are washed. Without flowing out to the outside beyond both ends, it is possible to flow down while washing the vicinity of both ends of the left end portion 8b and the right end portion 8c of the bowl surface 8.

In this way, the cleaning water discharged from the second water discharge port 36 of the spreader 28 flows in a radial direction from the spreader 28 so as to spread widely so as not to cause a portion that cannot be cleaned on the surface of the bowl surface 8. The entire bowl surface 8 can be cleaned well while flowing down the surface 8. The washing water flows down the bowl surface 8 and is discharged from the discharge port 10, passes through the downstream drain trap pipe (not shown), and further flows toward the downstream drain pipe (not shown).
When water discharge at a predetermined instantaneous flow rate from the second water discharge port portion 36 of the spreader 28 is continued for a certain period of time, the control unit 32 closes the second on-off valve 26 to end the water discharge from the spreader 28, and the urine End the cleaning operation.

Next, the flow of the equipment protection cleaning operation by the urinal 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The control unit 32 performs a facility protection cleaning operation separately from the urine cleaning operation.
The control unit 32 has passed a certain elapsed time since the previous equipment protection cleaning (for example, 2 hours have elapsed since the last equipment protection cleaning). In addition, the equipment protection cleaning operation is started when the use conditions such as the number of use of the urinal 1 reaching a certain number in a certain period are satisfied.

  In the equipment protection cleaning operation, the control unit 32 sends a control signal to the first on-off valve 22 to open the first on-off valve 22, and the cleaning water supplied from the main water supply pipe 14 is supplied from the first water supply pipe 16 to the first supply. Supply to the passage 38. At this time, the instantaneous flow rate of the cleaning water supplied to the first supply passage 38 is adjusted by the first flow rate adjusting device 20 to the above-described relatively high instantaneous flow rate range. The washing water supplied to the first supply passage 38 is diffused so as to collide with the first water outlet front wall 34b in the first water outlet 34 and spread between the left and right first water outlet upper walls 34a. It flows like. The wash water discharged from the first water discharge port portion 34 is discharged so as to spread downwardly between the left and right first water discharge port upper walls 34a in the left-right direction, and in the front-rear direction, the first discharge water is discharged. The water is discharged rearward from the front wall 34b of the water mouth and the rear wall 34c of the first water outlet toward the bowl surface 8 on the rear side. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 11, the flow of cleaning water discharged from the first water discharge port 34 is indicated by an arrow B. The upper wash water in the first water discharge port 34 is discharged so as to flow downward diagonally along the first water discharge port upper wall 34a inclined downward from the horizontal.

  Since the angle between the left and right first water outlet upper walls 34 a is formed to be relatively small, the wash water discharged from the first water outlet 34 is discharged into a relatively narrow range near the center of the bowl surface 8. Is done. Therefore, although the wash water discharged from the first water discharge port 34 is a wash water having a relatively high instantaneous flow rate, the wash water passes through both ends of the left end 8b and the right end 8c of the bowl surface 8. Without flowing out to the outside, it is possible to flow down while washing the area around the center of the bowl surface 8.

As described above, the relatively high instantaneous flow rate of water discharged from the first water discharge port 34 flows into the discharge port 10. Wash water with a relatively high instantaneous flow rate passes through a drain trap pipe (not shown) downstream of the discharge port 10 and flows further toward the downstream drain pipe (not shown). Water flows while washing the drain trap pipe and drain pipe, removing urine in these pipes and removing foreign substances such as pubic hair, washing away urinary stones and foreign substances, suppressing bacterial growth, Adhesion (generation) can be suppressed. By allowing the washing water to flow through the drain trap pipe and the drain pipe without leaving a long interval, it is possible to suppress the growth of bacteria that generate urine stones.
When water discharge at a predetermined instantaneous flow rate from the first water discharge port portion 34 of the spreader 28 is continued for a predetermined time, the control unit 32 closes the first on-off valve 22 to end water discharge from the spreader 28, End the protective cleaning operation.

Next, the effect of the urinal according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention will be described.
According to the urinal 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the first water discharge port 34 discharges cleaning water having a relatively high instantaneous flow rate toward the substantially central region of the bowl surface 8. Thereby, the spouted wash water can be prevented from jumping out of the bowl surface 8, and the urine discharged from the drainage pipe of the urinal 1 and foreign matters such as pubic hair can be removed. The equipment protection cleaning of the drainage pipe of 1 can be performed.
Further, the second water discharge port 36 discharges the cleaning water having a relatively low instantaneous flow rate so as to spread over a wide range of left and right regions from the substantially central region of the bowl surface 8. Therefore, the discharged washing water can be prevented from jumping out of the bowl surface 8 and can be washed over a wide range from the central region of the bowl surface 8 to the left and right regions.
Therefore, the urinal 1 can be washed effectively.

  Moreover, in the urinal 1 according to the present embodiment, since at least a part of the second water discharge port portion 36 is disposed so as to overlap the first water discharge port portion 34 in the front-rear direction, the first water discharge port portion 34 and the first water discharge port portion 34 The spreader 28 having the two water discharge ports 36 can be formed compactly, and when viewed from the front of the spreader 28, the region where the wash water is discharged from the first water discharge port 34 and the second water discharge port 36. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a gap region where the cleaning water is not discharged from the region where the cleaning water is discharged. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to produce a portion that is not cleaned on the bowl surface 8, and it is possible to prevent the bowl surface 8 from being poorly cleaned.

  Further, in the urinal 1 according to the present embodiment, the wash water can be discharged upward from the second water discharge port portion 36 along the left and right second water discharge port upper walls 36a. The bowl surface 8 can be cleaned over a wide range up to an obliquely upper region.

  In the urinal 1 according to the present embodiment, the instantaneous flow rate of the wash water in the second supply passage 40 is set to the first flow rate with a relatively simple structure with respect to the instantaneous flow rate of the wash water supplied from the common main flow path. The instantaneous flow rate of the cleaning water discharged from the first water outlet 34 can be adjusted to be lower than the instantaneous flow rate of the cleaning water in the supply passage 38. Can be set lower.

  Further, in the urinal 1 according to the present embodiment, the entire bowl surface 8 is washed over a wide range so that the wash water discharged from the second water discharge port portion 36 includes the entire water discharge range of the first water discharge port portion 34. be able to.

  Further, in the urinal 1 according to the present embodiment, the control unit 32 can discharge the wash water from the second water discharge port 36 when the user uses the urinal 1, and the central region of the bowl surface 8. It is possible to clean a wide range up to the left and right areas. Further, the control unit 32 can discharge the wash water from the first water discharge port 34 every time a predetermined time elapses separately from when the user uses the urinal 1. The urine can be discharged and foreign matters such as pubic hair can be removed, and the drainage piping of the urinal 1 can be protected and cleaned.
