However, since the epidermis is cut at the peripheral edge of the drainage recess, residual water is likely to occur at the downstream end of the drainage groove of the epidermis due to the influence of surface tension.

The present invention has been made based on the recognition of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom capable of suppressing residual water in the peripheral portion of a drainage recess.

The first invention includes a washing place floor and a drainage recess which is continuous with the washing place floor and has a drainage port, and the washing place floor includes a base material and a surface material provided on the upper surface of the base material. The base material has a dam portion that projects upward on the peripheral edge of the drainage recess, the surface material extends to the end on the drainage recess side on the upper surface, and the water on the upper surface is drained. It has a plurality of drainage grooves for draining to the recess side, and by separating the end surface of the surface material on the drain recess side from the dam portion by a predetermined distance, between the end portion of the surface material and the dam portion. A water retention groove is formed, and the flow of water flowing from the drainage groove is blocked by the dam portion so that water can be retained in the water retention groove, and the dam portion is retained in the water retention groove. It has a drainage groove for draining water to the drainage recess, and the dam portion extends above the bottom surface of the drainage groove at the end portion of the surface material on the drainage recess side. It is a bathroom to drain.

According to this bathroom, the water retained in the drainage ditch is likely to be drawn in by the water retained in the drainage ditch, so that it is possible to prevent the water from continuing to remain at the downstream end of the drainage ditch. Since the water in the water retention groove flows to the drainage recess through the drainage groove, the water does not continue to remain in the water retention groove, so that the residual water around the drainage recess can be suppressed.

A second invention is a bathroom in which the upper end of the weir portion is formed so as to be lower than the upper surface of the convex portion of the end portion on the drainage concave portion side of the surface material in the first invention.

According to this bathroom, it is possible to significantly prevent the weir from obstructing the drainage when a large amount of water is drained.

A third invention is a bathroom in which the discharge groove extends below the bottom surface of the water retention groove in the first or second invention.

According to this bathroom, it is possible to improve the drainage performance of water from the water retention groove to the discharge groove.

According to the aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bathroom capable of suppressing residual water in the peripheral portion of the drainage recess.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, similar components are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a bathroom washroom floor 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The bathroom according to the embodiment includes a washing place floor 1 and a drainage recess 2 which is continuous with the washing place floor 1 and has a drainage port 5. A bathtub (not shown) is arranged on the side of the washing floor 1. The washing floor 1 is formed in the shape of a bread with a shallow bottom as a whole.

A drainage gradient is provided on the surface of the washing place floor 1 so that the drainage recess 2 is the lowest, and water on the surface of the washing place floor 1 flows along the drainage gradient and is collected in the drainage recess 2. Specifically, a plurality of sloped surfaces having different drainage directions are formed on the surface of the washing place floor 1. Each slope surface is inclined downward toward the drainage recess 2. Further, the slope surface also has a downward slope toward the ridgeline formed as a valley between the adjacent slope surfaces. The water on each slope flows toward the drainage recess 2 and the ridgeline. The ridgeline itself also has a downward slope toward the drainage recess 2, and the water flowing into the ridgeline flows to the drainage recess 2 along the ridgeline.

FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the structure of the washing floor 1 according to the present embodiment.

The washing floor 1 includes a support 11, a base material 13, a cushion layer 12, and a surface material 14. A wall-mounting member 7 on which a wall material of a bathroom unit (not shown) can be placed is provided around the base material 13. The support 11 has a length-adjustable support leg 112.

The base material 13 is provided on the support 11. The cushion layer 12 is provided on the base material 13 and has a cushioning property higher than the cushioning property (elasticity) of the base material 13. The surface material 14 is provided on the cushion layer 12 and has a hardness higher than the hardness of the cushion layer 12.

As shown in FIG. 1, the approximate shape of the washroom floor 1 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape and has a pair of long side portions 4a and 4b. The drainage recess 2 is arranged closer to one long side portion 4b side. On the surface of the washing place floor 1, the region near the edge portion 2a located on the other long side portion 4a side of the peripheral edge portion of the drainage recess 2 is the lowest.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of part A in FIG.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a portion B in FIG. FIG. 4 represents the lowest region on the surface of the washroom floor 1.

5 (a) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 4, and FIG. 5 (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. In addition, in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the cushion layer 12 shown in FIG. 2 is not shown.

The surface material 14 constitutes the surface of the washing floor 1. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a plurality of convex portions 21 and a plurality of drainage grooves 22 are formed on the upper surface of the surface material 14. The convex portion 21 and the drainage groove 22 are formed over the entire surface of the surface material 14.

The plurality of drainage grooves 22 are formed, for example, in a grid pattern so as to surround the periphery of the convex portion 21. The drainage groove 22 extending in the direction toward the drainage recess 2 extends to the end of the surface material 14 on the drainage recess 2 side. The plurality of drainage ditches 22 are continuous without interruption. Through these drainage grooves 22, the water that has flowed between the convex portions 21 can be slowly drained to the drainage recess 2 without interruption.

As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the base material 13 has a base material body 15 and a drainage pit 16. The drainage pit 16 is fitted in the drainage recess 2. In FIGS. 5A and 5B, the base material main body 15 and the drainage pit 16 are separate examples, but the base material main body 15 and the drainage pit 16 may be integrally formed.

A weir portion 17 projecting upward is provided on the peripheral edge of the drainage recess 2 in the drainage pit 16. A weir portion 17 is provided at least on the edge portion 2a side shown in FIG. 1 at the peripheral edge portion of the drainage recess 2.

The weir portion 17 extends above the bottom surface 22a of the drainage groove 22 at the end of the surface material 14 on the drainage recess 2 side. The upper end 17a of the weir portion 17 is formed so as to be lower than the upper surface 21a of the convex portion 21 at the end portion of the surface material 14 on the drainage recess 2 side.

By separating the end surface 14a of the surface material 14 on the drainage recess 2 side from the weir portion 17 by a predetermined distance, a water retention groove 18 is formed between the end portion of the surface material 14 and the weir portion 17. The flow of water flowing from the drainage groove 22 of the surface material 14 is blocked by the weir portion 17, so that the water can be retained in the water retention groove 18.

As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5 (b), the weir portion 17 has a discharge groove 19 for discharging the water retained in the water retention groove 18 to the drainage recess 2. The discharge groove 19 extends below the bottom surface of the water retention groove 18. The discharge groove 19 is connected to the water retention groove 18.

The weir portion 17 and the water retention groove 18 are continuous along the edge portion 2a shown in FIG. 1 described above for the drainage recess 2. The discharge groove 19 is orthogonal to the extending direction of the weir portion 17 and the water retention groove 18. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, two discharge grooves 19 are arranged apart from each other in the extending direction of the weir portion 17 and the water retention groove 18.

FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining the operation of the washing floor 1 according to the present embodiment.

According to the washing place floor 1 according to the present embodiment, the water on the upper surface of the surface material 14 flows into the drainage ditch 22 and is in a continuous temporary water retention state in the drainage ditch 22, and while maintaining that state, the above-mentioned It flows toward the drainage recess 2 due to the drainage gradient.

Then, the water 100 can be retained in the water retention groove 18 by blocking the flow of water by the weir portion 17. As a result, the drainage speed (drainage property) can be suppressed, and it is possible to prevent the water flowing downstream of the drainage ditch 22 from being interrupted at an early stage. As a result, a continuous temporary water retention state can be created in the drainage ditch 22, and the water in the drainage ditch 22 can be slowly and gradually flowed down to the drainage recess 2 through the drainage ditch 19.

Further, since the water retained in the water retention groove 18 is likely to be drawn in by the water in the drainage groove 22, it is possible to prevent the water from continuing to remain at the downstream end of the drainage groove 22. Since the water in the water retention groove 18 flows to the drainage recess 2 through the drainage groove 19, the water does not continue to remain in the water retention groove 18, so that the residual water around the drainage recess 2 can be suppressed.

Make sure that the temporary water retention state in which water is continuously connected from the upper surface of the surface material 14 to the drainage recess 2 is maintained (the continuous water network leading to the drainage recess 2 is not interrupted in the middle), and the upper surface of the surface material 14 is not interrupted. And the generation of residual water left behind in the drainage recess 2 can be suppressed. If this residual water is small, it will be naturally dried and will be sufficiently dried by the next day.

The height of the weir portion 17 is limited so that the upper end 17a of the weir portion 17 is lower than the upper surface 21a of the convex portion 21 at the end of the surface material 14 on the drainage recess 2 side. Therefore, when a large amount of water is drained while using the bathroom, the weir portion 17 does not interfere with the drainage.

If the lower end of the drainage groove 19 is at the same height as the bottom surface of the water retention groove 18, the water retained in the water retention groove 18 can flow to the drainage recess 2 through the discharge groove 19. When the discharge groove 19 extends below the bottom surface of the water retention groove 18 as in the present embodiment, the water retained in the water retention groove 18 can be easily flowed to the discharge groove 19, and the water is easily flowed from the water retention groove 18. The performance of discharging water to the discharge groove 19 can be improved.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the drainage groove 19 is located at a position off the extension line of the drainage groove 22 extending toward the drainage recess 2 (laterally in FIGS. 3 and 4). The discharge groove 19 is formed at a position facing the convex portion 21.

Therefore, the flow of water directly from the drainage ditch 22 to the drainage ditch 19 can be suppressed, and the temporary water retention of water in the water retention ditch 18 is not hindered.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the bottom surface of the water retention groove 18 is inclined downward toward the discharge recess 2 so that the water in the water retention groove 18 is unlikely to remain at the end.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the bottom surface of the discharge groove 19 is also inclined downward toward the discharge recess 2 so that the water in the discharge groove 19 can be easily discharged.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to these descriptions. With respect to the above-described embodiment, those skilled in the art with appropriate design changes are also included in the scope of the present invention as long as they have the features of the present invention.
In addition, the elements included in each of the above-described embodiments can be combined as much as technically possible, and the combination thereof is also included in the scope of the present invention as long as the features of the present invention are included.
