However, in the water-washing toilets described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, when the washing water swirling on the filth receiving surface gradually flows down, the washing water is still dispersed on the filth receiving surface. There is a problem that the filth is not sufficiently discharged due to insufficient vertical stirring of the washing water in the basin by the pushing flow that pushes the filth into the reservoir.
Such a problem is that when the amount of washing water is reduced in response to the recent demand for water saving, the amount of washing water swirling on the sewage receiving surface is further reduced. The problem that the washing water in the water part is not sufficiently agitated in the vertical direction and the filth is not sufficiently discharged becomes more remarkable.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art, and the water pool portion is formed by a fan-shaped recess formed so as to spread the washing water swirling on the waste receiving surface from the water reservoir portion. It is an object of the present invention to provide a flush toilet that can generate a relatively strong pushing flow that pushes filth into the water reservoir and can improve the filth discharge performance.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a flush toilet that cleans the toilet bowl with washing water supplied from a washing water source and discharges filth, and has a bowl-shaped filth receiving surface and the filth receiving surface. A bowl part having a rim part formed on the upper part of the toilet and a water storage part formed below the filth receiving surface, a drainage channel whose inlet is connected to the water storage part to discharge filth, and a bowl part. It has a spout portion for the wash water to the water discharge to form a swirl flow on the waste receiving surface, a waste receiving surface of the bowl portion, between the tip portion of the waste receiving surface, a distal end portion of the accumulated water portion In the plan view, a fan-shaped recess is formed so as to expand from the water reservoir toward the front side, and the fan-shaped recess on the filth receiving surface has end portions extending in the front-rear direction on both sides in the lateral direction. In the cross section along the lateral direction orthogonal to the center line extending in the front-rear direction of the bowl portion, the space between the upper end portion of the recess and the connection portion which is the lower end portion of the filth receiving surface connected to the recess is It is connected by a convex curved surface, and this convex curved surface becomes the end of the fan-shaped recess, and the end of this recess intersects the tangent that passes through the upper end of the recess and the tangent that passes through the connection of the filth receiving surface. The recess of the filth receiving surface is formed so as to be located below the virtual line extending in the front-rear direction determined by the curved point, and the radius of curvature of the convex curved surface which is the end on both sides in the lateral direction is the filth receiving surface. It is characterized in that it is formed so as to decrease from the tip of the water pool toward the tip of the water reservoir.
In the present invention configured in this way, the washing water swirling on the filth receiving surface is spread from the reservoir portion toward the front side by a fan-shaped recess formed from a relatively wide area to the reservoir portion. The wash water guided by the fan-shaped recess can be collected toward the tip of the water reservoir, which can generate a relatively strong push-in flow that pushes the filth into the water reservoir. , The filth discharge performance can be improved. In particular, in the present invention, an inflection point where the convex curved end portions on both sides of the fan-shaped concave portion of the filth receiving surface intersect the tangent line passing through the upper end portion of the concave portion and the tangent line passing through the connecting portion of the filth receiving surface. The concave portion of the filth receiving surface is formed so as to be located below the imaginary line extending in the front-rear direction determined by, and the radius of curvature of the convex curved surface which is the end on both sides in the lateral direction is the filth receiving surface. Since it is formed so as to decrease from the tip of the water reservoir toward the tip of the water reservoir, the flow velocity and flow direction of the wash water are changed by this convex curved surface, and the wash water is collected by the water reservoir. It becomes easier to guide effectively.

In the present invention, preferably, the concave portion of the filth receiving surface of the bowl portion has a radius of curvature of the central bottom surface of the concave portion in the cross section in the left-right direction decreasing from the tip end portion of the filth receiving surface toward the tip end portion of the water reservoir portion.

Therefore, the swirling flow is maintained in the region on the tip end side of the filth receiving surface of the recess, and in the region on the tip end side of the water reservoir, the washing water is collected in the water reservoir direction within a relatively small number of laps of the swirling flow. It is possible to form a collective flow that is collected as a flow toward the water reservoir and is directed toward the water reservoir. Therefore, it is possible to generate a stronger pushing flow that pushes the filth into the water reservoir, and the filth discharge performance can be further improved.

According to the flush toilet of the present invention, the flush water swirling on the waste receiving surface is collected toward the tip of the water reservoir by a fan-shaped recess formed so as to spread from the water reservoir, thereby collecting the water. It is possible to generate a relatively strong pushing flow that pushes filth into the part, and it is possible to improve the filth discharge performance.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, in the IX-IX cross section, the radius of curvature R4 of the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 is formed to be about 15R. The radius that defines the corresponding curvature is about 15 mm. The radius of curvature of the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 is directed from the tip portion 20a of the filth receiving surface of the filth receiving surface 20 to the tip portion 26a of the water collecting portion 26, as shown in the above-mentioned relationship of R1> R2> R3> R4. Is gradually decreasing. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, since the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 has a relationship of R1> R2> R3> R4, it is located in the left-right direction at a position at a predetermined height from the lowermost portion 36c of the central bottom surface 36b. The width of the flow path is gradually reduced from the tip portion 20a of the filth receiving surface toward the tip portion 26a of the water reservoir portion 26. As shown in FIG. 9, the recess 36 is formed so that the radius of curvature of the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 in the left-right cross section (IX-IX cross section) near the tip 26a of the water reservoir 26 is in the range of 10 to 20. Has been

Next, the operation of the flush toilet according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a plan view showing the flow of washing water on the toilet bowl body of the flush toilet according to the embodiment of the present invention.

When the user turns on the operation switch 8 (see FIG. 1), the washing water in the water storage tank 6 flows into the common headrace 16 via the connecting pipe 10, and the first headrace 32 branched from the common headrace 16 And reaches the second headrace 34, and the washing water is discharged from each of the first spout 28 and the second spout 30.

The washing water discharged from the first water discharge port 28 is discharged onto the shelf portion 24 formed on the filth receiving surface 20, and mainly forms a swirling flow that swirls the shelf portion 24 as shown by an arrow F1. To do.
The washing water discharged from the second spout 30 is discharged onto the shelf 24 formed on the filth receiving surface 20, and mainly forms a swirling flow that swirls the shelf 24 as shown by arrow F2. To do.
At this time, the washing water gradually flowing down from the shelf portion 24 on the filth receiving surface 20 is on the lower side of the shelf portion 24 on the filth receiving surface 20 as shown by arrows F3, F4, F5, F6, F7 and F8. Form a swirling flow at.

At this time, since the fan-shaped recess 36 is formed on the filth receiving surface 20, as shown in F9, F10, F11 and F12, the direction of the center of the recess 36 from the vicinity of both ends of the fan-shaped recess 36 (center line C). Direction) and the flow toward the tip 26a of the water reservoir 26 are likely to be formed. Further, since the inflection point p1 (and the virtual line B connecting the inflection point p1) exists at both left and right ends of the fan-shaped recess 36, the flow velocity and the flow of the washing water passing over the inflection point p1 are affected. An opportunity to give a change in the flow direction, for example, a decrease in the flow velocity and an increase in the flow component toward the reservoir 26 occurs, and the direction and / or the reservoir portion of the central bottom surface 36b is adjusted according to the inclination of the bottom surface in the recess 36. A flow is formed that collects in 26 directions.

Since the recess 36 is formed as a fan shape formed by a central angle α in the range of 30 degrees to 120 degrees, the washing water swirling on the filth receiving surface 20 is shown by arrows F9, F10, F11 and F12. In addition, it collects from a relatively wide area that extends radially with a central angle in the range of 30 to 120 degrees and forms a flow that guides it toward the water reservoir 26.

Further, in the recess 36 on the filth receiving surface 20, the radius of curvature of the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 in the cross section in the left-right direction decreases from the filth receiving surface tip 20a toward the tip 26a of the water reservoir 26. Since it is formed, the radius of curvature R1 of the central bottom surface 36b is relatively large in the region of the fan-shaped recess 36 on the tip portion 20a side of the filth receiving surface, and the washing water flowing into the recess 36 is along the radius of curvature R1. After flowing down to the central bottom surface 36b, it smoothly rises again and easily flows out, so that it is possible to form a flow in which the swirling flow of the washing water is relatively maintained. Further, in the region of the fan-shaped recess 36 on the tip portion 26a side of the water reservoir portion 26, for example, the radius of curvature R4 of the central bottom surface 36b (as another example, the radius of curvature R2, R3) is relatively small, and the inside of the recess 36 After the washing water flowing into the central bottom surface 36b flows down, the direction is suddenly changed along the radius of curvature R4 and rises again to make it difficult for the washing water to flow out. The direction of the water reservoir 26 can be changed, so that the swirling flow of the washing water can be more easily guided toward the water reservoir 26. Therefore, the swirling flow is maintained in the region of the recess 36 on the tip portion 20a side of the filth receiving surface, and the swirling flow is relatively small in the region of the water reservoir 26 on the tip portion 26a side of the filth receiving surface tip portion 20a side. It is possible to collect the wash water as a flow toward the water reservoir 26 within the number of laps, and to form a collective flow toward the water storage part 26.
Further, in the recess 36, the flow of the washing water directed toward the reservoir portion 26 is the center having the most reduced radius of curvature R4, for example, the radius of curvature in the range of 10 to 20 in the region near the tip portion 26a. It is concentrated near the center line C along the bottom surface 36b, and flows down toward the tip portion 26a.

Further, the height of the recess 36 on the filth receiving surface 20 from the central bottom surface 36b to the shelf portion 24 provided at the upper end of the filth receiving surface 20 is from the filth receiving surface tip portion 20a to the tip of the water collecting portion 26. Since it is formed so as to increase toward the portion 26a, the height from the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 to the shelf portion 24 is relatively high in the region of the fan-shaped recess 36 on the tip portion 20a side of the filth receiving surface. Since the washing water that has flowed into the recess 36 is small and once flows down to the central bottom surface 36b, then rises again and easily flows out, it is possible to form a flow in which the swirling flow of the washing water is relatively maintained. Further, in the region of the fan-shaped recess 36 on the tip 26a side of the water reservoir 26, the height from the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 to the shelf 24 is relatively large, and the washing water that has flowed into the recess 36 once flows into the recess 36. After flowing down to the central bottom surface 36b, it rises again and becomes difficult to flow out, so that the washing water is stopped in the recess 36 and the direction of the flow is changed to the water collecting portion 26, so that the swirling flow of the washing water is stored. It will lead more toward the part 26.
Therefore, the swirling flow is maintained in the region of the recess 36 on the tip portion 20a side of the filth receiving surface, and the swirling flow is relatively small in the region of the water reservoir 26 on the tip portion 26a side of the filth receiving surface tip portion 20a side. It is possible to collect the wash water as a flow toward the water reservoir 26 within the number of laps, and to form a collective flow toward the water storage part 26.
Further, since the central bottom surface 36b is formed so as to descend toward the tip end portion 26a of the water storage portion 26 (downward inclination is formed), the concave portion 36 is collected on the central bottom surface 36b. The flow is accelerated toward the tip 26a of the water reservoir 26 to form a flow.

Therefore, among the swirling flows of the washing water that are about to pass through the fan-shaped recess 36 on the filth receiving surface 20, the ratio of the flow of the washing water directed toward the water reservoir 26 in the recess 36 is increased to provide the washing water. It can be collected and flowed from the recess 36 to the water reservoir 26.
Specifically, after the washing water changes its direction from the flow trying to swirl on the filth receiving surface 20 to the direction of the water reservoir 26 and the direction of the central bottom surface 36b in the recess 36, the arrows F13 and F14 As shown in, collected along the central bottom surface 36b in the recess 36, and as shown by arrow F15 (see FIGS. 12 and 3), from the lower end of the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 to the tip of the water reservoir 26. It forms a flow that flows intensively into 26a. Since the radius of curvature of the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 is gradually reduced from the filth receiving surface tip portion 20a toward the tip portion 26a of the water reservoir portion 26, the central bottom surface 36b is along the radius of curvature where the washing water is reduced. Collected on top. Basically, the flow of the washing water directed toward the water reservoir 26 in the recess 36 is integrated into one mainstream on the central bottom surface 36b, so that the mainstream water flow into the tip 26a of the water reservoir 26. And the flow rate is increased compared to when the flow is dispersed around.

In FIG. 3, as shown by the arrow F16, the flow that intensively flows from the concave portion 36 to the tip portion 26a of the water reservoir portion 26 forms a vertical push-in flow, and the filth on the water reservoir portion 26 is pushed downward ( In order to generate a strong pushing force in the vertical direction), a force is generated to stir the washing water and filth (for example, floating filth) in the water reservoir 26 in the vertical direction, for example, stirring in the vertical direction as shown by arrow F17. Even in a flush toilet that forms a flow and does not have a water discharge port (Zet port) on the side of the filth receiving surface 20 of the toilet body 2, filth is efficiently pushed into the drain trap pipeline 18 and efficiently. It can be discharged.

Further, even when the amount of washing water is reduced due to the recent request for water saving, the washing water flowing on the recess 36 of the filth receiving surface 20 is discharged from the second lap of the swirl (for example, the first spout 28 or the like). The cleaning water is collected at a relatively early number of laps (the second lap), which is the second lap after the washing water turns mainly on the shelf 24 on the first lap, and the washing water is collected from the recess 36 to the reservoir 26. By flowing, the cleaning water continues to swirl on the sewage receiving surface 20, so that the cleaning water is dispersed and the force pushing into the water reservoir 26 is suppressed from being weakened, and the cleaning ability on the sewage receiving surface 20 is improved. While maintaining it, it is possible to secure the pushing force of the washing water of the reservoir 26.

According to the water-washing toilet bowl 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the washing water swirling on the filth receiving surface 20 is relatively spread on the filth receiving surface 20 by the fan-shaped recess 36 formed so as to spread from the water reservoir 26. It is possible to easily guide the water from a wide area toward the water storage part 26, and the washing water guided by the fan-shaped recess 36 is collected toward the tip of the water storage part 26, whereby filth is collected in the water storage part 26. A relatively strong pushing flow can be generated, and the filth discharge performance can be improved.

In the water-washing toilet bowl 1 according to the present embodiment, the radius of curvature of the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 decreases from the filth receiving surface tip 20a of the filth receiving surface 20 toward the tip 26a of the water reservoir 26. Since it is formed, in the region of the fan-shaped recess 36 on the filth receiving surface tip portion 20a side of the filth receiving surface 20, the radius of curvature of the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 is relatively large, and the swirling flow of the washing water is compared. In the region of the fan-shaped recess 36 on the tip 26a side of the water reservoir 26, the radius of curvature of the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 is relatively small, so that the swirling flow of the washing water can be prevented. It can be made easier to guide toward the water reservoir 26. Therefore, the swirling flow is maintained in the region of the filth receiving surface 20 of the recess 36 on the tip portion 20a side of the filth receiving surface, and in the region of the water collecting portion 26 on the tip portion 26a side, the swirling flow is relatively small in number of laps. It is possible to collect the washing water as a flow toward the water reservoir 26 and form a combined flow toward the water storage part 26.
Further, the flow of the washing water directed toward the water reservoir in the recess 36 flows along the central bottom surface 36b having the smallest radius of curvature in the region near the tip 26a of the water storage part 26. Collected towards the tip 26a of 26. Therefore, a stronger pushing flow for pushing the filth into the water reservoir 26 can be generated, and the filth discharge performance can be further improved.

According to the water-washing stool 1 according to the present embodiment, the recess 36 is formed as a fan shape formed by a central angle α in the range of 30 degrees to 120 degrees, so that the washing water swirling on the filth receiving surface 20 can be used. , The fan-shaped recess 36 formed by the central angle α in the range of 30 degrees to 120 degrees makes it easy to guide the water from a relatively wide area toward the water reservoir 26, and the washing water guided by the recess 36 collects water. It is collected toward the tip of the portion 26, whereby a stronger pushing flow that pushes the filth into the water collecting portion 26 can be generated, and the filth discharge performance can be improved.

According to the water-washing stool 1 according to the present embodiment, among the washing water swirling on the filth receiving surface 20, the swirling flow washing water near the tip of the water reservoir 26 has a radius of curvature of 10 mm on the central bottom surface 36b. The recess 36 formed in the range of about 120 mm (10R to 120R) makes it easier to guide the water toward the water reservoir 26, and further, the flow of the washing water directed toward the water storage part in the recess 36. Is more reliable toward the tip 26a of the water reservoir 26 along the central bottom surface 36b having a radius of curvature in the range of 10 mm to 120 mm (10R to 120R ) in the region near the tip 26a of the water reservoir 26. Collected in. Therefore, it is possible to generate a stronger pushing flow than pushing the filth into the water reservoir 26, and it is possible to improve the filth discharge performance.

According to the water-washing toilet bowl 1 according to the present embodiment, the height of the recess 36 from the central bottom surface 36b to the shelf portion 24 provided at the upper end of the filth receiving surface 20 is the tip of the filth receiving surface 20. Since it is formed so as to increase from the portion 20a toward the tip portion 26a of the water reservoir portion 26, in the region of the fan-shaped recess 36 on the filth receiving surface tip portion 20a side of the filth receiving surface 20, the recess 36 The height from the central bottom surface 36b to the shelf portion 24 is relatively small, the swirling flow of the washing water can be relatively easily maintained, and the region of the fan-shaped recess 36 on the tip portion 26a side of the water reservoir portion 26. In, the height from the central bottom surface 36b of the recess 36 to the shelf portion 24 is relatively large, and the swirling flow of the washing water can be more easily guided toward the reservoir portion 26. Therefore, the swirling flow is maintained in the region of the filth receiving surface 20 of the recess 36 on the tip portion 20a side of the filth receiving surface, and in the region of the water collecting portion 26 on the tip portion 26a side, the swirling flow is relatively small in number of laps. It is possible to collect the wash water as a flow toward the water reservoir 26 and form a combined flow toward the water reservoir. Therefore, a stronger pushing flow for pushing the filth into the water reservoir 26 can be generated, and the filth discharge performance can be further improved.
