Description

This disclosure relates to a toilet device.

Patent Document 1 discloses a sanitary equipment unit for the physically disabled in which a toilet and a washbasin are attached to a front panel. The toilet protrudes horizontally from the front panel with its front and back facing perpendicular to the front panel. The washbasin also protrudes horizontally from the front panel. The toilet and washbasin are arranged side by side when viewed directly facing the front panel.

Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-152394

The above sanitary equipment unit is able to save space because the toilet and washbasin are placed close to each other. However, because both the toilet and washbasin protrude horizontally from the front panel, it is not possible to provide assistance space on the washbasin side of the toilet. If assistance space were to be provided to the side of the toilet on the washbasin side, the toilet and washbasin would have to be placed apart, which would require a large space to accommodate them.

This disclosure was made in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional situation, and aims to solve the problem of realizing space saving while ensuring an assistance space on the side of the toilet device.

The toilet device disclosed herein includes a toilet bowl device arranged so that an assistance space is provided on at least one of the left and right sides, and a water receiving section arranged to face the assistance space.

<Embodiment 1>
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 6. The toilet device 1 of the present disclosure includes a cabinet 10 and a portable toilet 40. The portable toilet 40 includes a cart 41 and a toilet device 45.

In the following description, the up-down direction is defined as the direction shown in Figures 1, 3, 4, and 6, as the top and bottom direction. The left-right direction is defined as the direction shown in the front views of Figures 1, 3, and 4 and the cross-sectional views of Figures 2 and 5, as the left and right direction. The left-right direction and the width direction are used synonymously. Regarding the front-to-back direction of the toilet device 1, the front side of the cabinet 10 (the left side in Figure 6) is defined as the front. The front-to-back direction and the depth direction of the toilet device 1 are used synonymously. Regarding the front-to-back direction of the toilet device 45, the front side of a user seated on the toilet seat 47 of the toilet device 45 is defined as the front side, and the back side of the user is defined as the rear side.

The cabinet 10 is installed in a patient room in a medical facility, a room in a nursing home, a room in a serviced elderly housing unit, a room in a general home, etc. The cabinet 10 is manufactured separately from the building's framework, and is fixed in place with the back of the cabinet 10 in close contact with the wall W of the room. The cabinet 10 comprises an equipment storage section 11, a support section 32, a washbasin 33, and a rotating shaft 38. The equipment storage section 11 comprises a toilet storage section 12, an attachment section 20, and a back storage section 30.

The toilet storage section 12 is a rectangular box-shaped opening on the top and bottom, and is installed on the floor surface F. The rear area on the left side of the toilet storage section 12 is also open in a manner that communicates with the openings on both the top and bottom. In this embodiment 1, the front surface of the toilet storage section 12 is defined as the front surface 12F. In the area of the front surface 12F of the toilet storage section 12 excluding the left end portion, an opening 13 is formed that opens the internal space of the toilet storage section 12 to the front outside of the equipment storage section 11. A toilet storage space 14 for accommodating a toilet device 45 is provided inside the toilet storage section 12.

The toilet storage section 12 is provided with a door 15 for opening and closing most of the area of the opening 13 except for the left end. The door 15 is composed of a folding door having a hanging panel 16 and a door end panel 17. The hanging panel 16 is supported on the right edge of the opening 13. In the process of opening the door 15 in a closed state, the two panels 16, 17 are displaced so that they overlap with their inner faces facing each other. In other words, the hanging panel 16 rotates approximately 90° with respect to the front portion 12F of the toilet storage section 12, and the door end panel 17 rotates approximately 180° relative to the hanging panel 16.

When the door 15 is open, it protrudes forward from the right edge of the opening 13. A paper holder 18 is attached to the outer surface of the door end panel 17 near the hanging panel 16. When the door 15 is open, the paper holder 18 is located on the left side of the door 15 and faces the toilet device 45 (described later) from the right. Since the paper holder 18 is located at the front end of the door 15, it is easy to unroll toilet paper from the front of the toilet storage section 12. When the door 15 is closed, the paper holder 18 is exposed to the front part 12F of the toilet storage section 12. The toilet storage section 12 is provided with a side panel 19 for opening and closing the left end of the opening 13. By opening the side panel 19, maintenance of the drainage device 53 (described later) can be performed.

The mounting part 20 has a rectangular box shape with an open bottom, and is placed on top of the toilet storage part 12. The bottom surface of the mounting part 20 is connected to the top surface of the toilet storage part 12, and the space inside the toilet storage part 12 and the space inside the mounting part 20 are connected to form a single space. The rear area on the left side of the mounting part 20 is open in a form that communicates with the opening on the bottom surface of the mounting part 20 and the opening on the left side of the toilet storage part 12.

In a plan view of the cabinet 10 seen from above, the toilet storage section 12 and the mounting section 20 have the same shape. In this plan view, the toilet storage section 12 and the mounting section 20 have the same depth dimension in the front-to-back direction. In a plan view, the toilet storage section 12 and the mounting section 20 have the same width dimension in the left-to-right direction. In a plan view, the mounting section 20 overlaps directly above the toilet storage section 12. The front portion 12F of the toilet storage section 12 and the front surface of the mounting section 20 are connected flush with each other. The right side surface of the mounting section 20 and the right side surface of the toilet storage section 12 are connected flush with each other. The back surface of the mounting section 20 and the back surface of the toilet storage section 12 are connected flush with each other.

A pair of left and right handrails 23 and a backrest 24 are attached to the front of the mounting part 20. The handrails 23 and the backrest 24 are body support members 22 that are used while the user is seated on the toilet device 45, or when sitting down or getting out of the seat. The mounting structure of the handrails 23 and the backrest 24 will be explained. The mounting part 20 has a pair of left and right support arms 25 that protrude forward from the front of the mounting part 20. The protruding ends of both support arms 25 are connected to each other by a horizontal connecting arm 26. A pair of shafts 27 are attached to both the left and right ends of the connecting arm 26.

The base ends of a pair of left and right handrails 23 are supported individually on the pair of shafts 27. The pair of handrails 23 can be displaced between a storage state (see Figs. 1-3) in which they stand along the front surface of the mounting part 20, and a usage state (see Figs. 4-6) in which they protrude horizontally forward of the mounting part 20. The left handrail 23 and the right handrail 23 can be displaced individually. The backrest 24 is fixed to the left-right center of the connecting arm 26 and is disposed between the pair of left and right handrails 23. When viewed from the front side of the cabinet 10, the backrest 24 is rectangular. The left and right handrails 23 and the backrest 24 may be attached to the mounting part 20 individually without sharing the support arm 25 and connecting arm 26.

The rear storage section 30 is a rectangular box with an open bottom, and is arranged to be lined up on the left side of the toilet storage section 12 and the mounting section 20. The right side of the rear storage section 30 is open and communicates with the openings on the left sides of the toilet storage section 12 and the mounting section 20. Therefore, the space within the toilet storage section 12, the space within the mounting section 20, and the space within the rear storage section 30 are communicated to form a single space. The upper end surface of the rear storage section 30 is at the same height as the upper end surface of the mounting section 20. The front surface 30F of the rear storage section 30 is located behind the front surface 12F of the toilet storage section 12 and the front surface 20F of the mounting section 20.

The support section 32 has a rectangular box shape and is installed on the floor surface F. The support section 32 is adjacent to the front side of the rear storage section 30, and is arranged adjacent to and lined up on the left side of the toilet storage section 12 and the mounting section 20. The upper end of the support section 32 is at a lower height than the upper end of the mounting section 20 and the upper end of the rear storage section 30. The right side of the support section 32 is connected to the entire left side area of the toilet storage section 12 and the lower end of the left side of the mounting section 20. The front surface of the support section 32 is connected flush with the front section 12F (front surface) of the toilet storage section 12 and the front surface of the mounting section 20.

A washbasin 33 and a faucet 35 are attached to the upper surface of the support portion 32. The washbasin 33 has a bowl 34 for receiving hot or cold water discharged from the faucet 35. In a plan view of the cabinet 10 seen from above, the front end 34F of the bowl 34 protrudes forward beyond the front surface 32F of the support portion 32. The faucet 35 rises rearward beyond the rear end 34R of the bowl 34.

The rotating shaft 38 is disposed in the equipment storage section 11 with its axis facing vertically and perpendicular to the floor surface F. The lower end of the rotating shaft 38 is fixed to the floor surface F, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 38 is fixed to the upper plate of the mounting section 20. The rotating shaft 38 is the center of the arc-shaped movement trajectory that the portable toilet 40 described below follows when it moves between the storage position (see Figures 1 to 3) and the use position (see Figures 4 to 6).

As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the cart 41 of the portable toilet 40 has a base member 42, four casters 43, and one bearing 44. The toilet device 45 and drainage device 53 are placed and fixed to the base member 42. The toilet device 45 and drainage device 53 are arranged in a lined-up position with a gap between them in the front and rear. The cart 41 can move horizontally on the floor surface F by the casters 43, and moves the toilet device 45 and drainage device 53 together between the use position and the storage position.

The bearing portion 44 is attached to the base member 42. The attachment position of the bearing portion 44 in the front-rear direction is a position rearward of the rear end 45R of the toilet device 45 and forward of the front end 53F of the drainage device 53. The attachment position of the bearing portion 44 in the left-right direction is a position to the left of the left end of the toilet device 45. A rotating shaft 38 passes through the bearing portion 44. The portable toilet 40 can move between the storage position and the usage position while tracing a quarter-circular arc trajectory on the floor surface F with the rotating shaft 38 as the center.

As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the toilet device 45 has a toilet body 46 having a toilet bowl (not shown), a toilet seat 47 placed on the upper surface of the toilet body 46, and an equipment storage section 48. As shown in Figures 2 and 5, the rear surface of the toilet body 46 is provided with a drainage connection section 49 for connecting to a drainage device 53 and a water supply connection section 50 for supplying water to the toilet device 45. The downstream end of a flexible water supply hose 51 extending from the floor surface F is connected to the water supply connection section 50. As shown in Figures 3 and 5, a pair of fulcrums 52 are formed on both left and right ends of the rear end 47R of the toilet seat 47. The toilet seat 47 is displaced around the fulcrum sections 52 between a usage state in which it is placed on the upper surface of the toilet body 46 and an upright state in which it is flipped up above the toilet body 46. The toilet seat 47 has an excretion opening 47H.

The equipment storage section 48 is located at the rear end of the top surface of the toilet body 46, i.e., behind the toilet seat 47. The equipment storage section 48 stores functional equipment (not shown) for improving the usability of the toilet device 45. The functional equipment includes a private parts cleansing device, a toilet bowl cleansing device, a sound dummy device, a toilet seat opening/closing device, a toilet seat heating device, a hot air device, and a deodorizing device.

As shown in Figures 2 and 5, the toilet device 45 has a bullet-like shape in plan view when viewed from above. The front end of the toilet device 45 is approximately semicircular, and the front-to-rear central portion and rear end of the toilet device 45 are approximately rectangular. The front-to-rear dimension of the toilet device 45 is longer than the width dimension of the toilet device 45. In this embodiment 1, the front end of the upper surface of the toilet device 45 (the upper surface of the toilet seat 47 and the equipment storage section 48) is defined as the front end 45F of the toilet device 45, and the rear end of the upper surface of the toilet device 45 is defined as the rear end 45R of the toilet device 45.

The drainage device 53 is a device that has the function of draining the toilet device 45. A drain pipe 54, which is a drainage path for discharging waste from the toilet device 45, is connected to the front surface of the drainage device 53 and the drainage connection part 49 of the toilet device 45. A toilet side connection part 55 for drainage and a toilet side connection part 56 for ventilation are provided on the upper surface of the drainage device 53. The upstream end of a flexible drainage hose 57 is connected to the toilet side connection part 55 for drainage. The downstream end of the drainage hose 57 is connected to the drainage pipe side connection part 61 of the drainage pipe 60 arranged in the mounting part 20 and the rear storage part 30. One end of a flexible ventilation hose 58 is connected to the toilet side connection part 56 for ventilation. The other end of the ventilation hose 58 is connected to the ventilation pipe side connection part 63 of the ventilation pipe 62 arranged in the mounting part 20 and the rear storage part 30.

The position in the cabinet 10 where the toilet device 45 is stored within the toilet storage section 12 is defined as the storage position. The position on the front side of the toilet storage section 12 outside the cabinet 10 is defined as the use position. When the door 15 of the toilet storage section 12 is opened, the opening 13 is opened, so that the portable toilet 40 can be stored within the toilet storage section 12 and the portable toilet 40 within the toilet storage section 12 can be moved to the use position.

When the toilet device 45 is reoriented between the storage position and the use position by the rotation shaft 38, the movement of the toilet body 46 is a rotational movement in a horizontal plane. The installation position of the rotation shaft 38 in the depth direction of the toilet storage section 12 is a position close to the front section 12F. The installation position of the rotation shaft 38 in the width direction of the toilet storage section 12 is a position on the left side closer to the washbasin 33 than the center of the width direction of the toilet storage section 12.

When the mobile toilet 40 is stored in the storage position, the front-rear direction of the toilet device 45 is parallel to the front surface 12F and width direction of the toilet storage section 12. The rotation shaft 38 is disposed inside the toilet storage section 12, so the entire mobile toilet 40 is stored inside the toilet storage section 12. When the door 15 is closed, the mobile toilet 40 in the storage position can be hidden. When the mobile toilet 40 is in the use position, the toilet device 45 is located behind the handrail 23 and the backrest 24 in a plan view. Behind the right handrail 23, a portion slightly forward of the center of the toilet device 45 in the front-rear direction, i.e., the rear end area of the excretion opening 47, is located. Behind the left handrail 23, a front end portion of the drainage device 53 is located. Behind the backrest 24, the rear end of the toilet device 45, i.e., the equipment storage section 48, is located.

The portable toilet 40 in the storage position can be moved to the use position by rotating it horizontally 90° clockwise in a plan view. When the portable toilet 40 is in the use position, the front-rear direction of the toilet device 45 faces a direction perpendicular to the front part 12F of the toilet storage part 12. The drainage device 53 remains housed in the toilet storage part 12. The entire toilet device 45 is disposed outside the toilet storage part 12. The toilet device 45 in the use position is located in front of the backrest 24 and between the pair of handrails 23. The backrest 24 is located slightly behind the rear end 47R of the toilet seat 47 and supports the back of the seated person. The pair of handrails 23 are located so as to sandwich the toilet seat 47 from both the left and right sides. When the user sits down, the upper arms can be placed on the handrails 23. When a user of the toilet device 45 sits down or gets up from the seat, they can stabilize their body by holding onto the handrail 53.

After the toilet device 45 has been moved to the use position, the handrail 23 in the upright position is displaced to the horizontal position for use. When the user of the toilet device 45 sits on the toilet seat 47, the user can stabilize the seated position by resting their arms on the handrail 23. When sitting on the toilet seat 47 or standing up from the toilet seat 47, the user can stably perform the actions of sitting or standing up by holding on to the handrail 23. When the user is seated on the toilet seat 47, the user's upper body can be stabilized by placing their back against the backrest 24.

When the toilet device 45 has moved to the use position and protrudes from the front part 12F of the toilet storage part 12 to the outside of the toilet storage part 12, as shown in FIG. 5, the front and rear orientation of the toilet device 45 is at a right angle or close to a right angle to the front part 12F of the toilet storage part 12. As there is no wall or furniture diagonally to the right front of the toilet device 45, an assistance space S is secured to the right of the toilet device 45. The assistance space S is a space where the caregiver helping the user can stand and move, and is preferably a space where the caregiver and the person being assisted can stand and move together.

The washbasin 33 is arranged to the left of the toilet storage section 12. The toilet device 45 in the use position is located forward of the toilet storage section 12. The front end 33F of the washbasin 33 is located forward of the front part 12F of the toilet storage section 12. The front end 33F of the washbasin 33 is located rearward of the front end 45F of the toilet device 45. Therefore, an assistance space S is also provided to the left of the toilet device 45. As the assistance space S is located in front of the washbasin 33, it also serves as a usage space where a user can stand when using the washbasin 33.

The toilet device 1 of this embodiment 1 includes a toilet storage section 12 and a toilet device 45. The toilet device 45 is movable between a storage position stored in the toilet storage section 12 and a use position outside the toilet storage section 12. A handrail 23 and a backrest 24 are arranged above the toilet storage section 12 as body support members 22 for stabilizing the body of a user using the toilet device 45 in the use position. An opening 13 is provided in the front portion 12F of the toilet storage section 12 as a movement path for the toilet device 45 that moves between the storage position and the use position. An attachment section 20 is provided above the opening 13. The handrail 23 and the backrest 24 are attached to the attachment section 20.

The handrail 23 and backrest 24 do not move together with the toilet device 45, but are positioned above the toilet storage section 12 for storing the toilet device 45, so no space is required within the toilet storage section 12 to store the handrail 23 and backrest 24. This allows for space-saving in the toilet storage section 12. The movement of the toilet device 45 between the storage position and the use position is a rotational movement centered on the rotation shaft 38 that extends vertically. The area occupied by the rotation shaft 38 in a plan view is relatively small, allowing for space-saving.

The handrail 23 allows the user to rest their arms when seated on the toilet seat 47 of the toilet device 45, stabilizing the body of the user seated on the toilet seat 47. The backrest 24 supports the back of the user seated on the toilet device 45, stabilizing the body of the user seated on the toilet seat 47.

A door 15 for opening and closing the opening 13 is provided on the front portion 12F of the toilet storage section 12. By providing the door 15 on the opening 13, the toilet device 45 stored in the storage position can be hidden.

A paper holder 18 is attached to the door 15 as a toilet peripheral device. The height of the door 15 is the same as the opening 13 for moving the toilet device 45, so the height of the paper holder 18 attached to the door 15 is not extremely high relative to the toilet device 45. Therefore, not only a caregiver in a standing position, but also a user seated on the toilet device 45 can unroll toilet paper P from the paper holder 18. Since the paper holder 18 is exposed to the outside of the toilet storage section 12 when the door 15 is closed, toilet paper P can be used even when the toilet device 45 is not in use and has been moved to the storage position.

When the toilet device 45 is in the use position, the front and rear of the toilet device 45 are oriented at right angles to the front surface 12F of the toilet storage section 12. When the door 15 is open, the door 15 is located only in an area closer to the front surface 12F than the front end 45F of the toilet device 45 in the use position. In other words, the front end 15F of the door 15 is located behind the front end 45F of the toilet device 45. Therefore, an assistant space S where an assistant can stand can be secured in the area on the right side of the toilet device 45, in front of the front end 15F of the door 15. Because the door 15 is a folding door, less space is required to open and close the door 15 than when the door 15 is a single-panel hinged door.

The toilet device 1 of this embodiment 1 includes a toilet bowl device 45 that is arranged so that, when moved to the usage position, an assistance space S is secured on both the left and right sides. The toilet device 1 further includes a washbasin 33 that is arranged facing the assistance space S. The assistance space S serves both as a space for assisting a user of the toilet bowl device 45 and as a space for using the washbasin 33. Since there is no need to secure a space for using the washbasin 33 separately from the assistance space S, it is possible to achieve space saving while securing the assistance space S to the side of the toilet device 45.

In a front view of the cabinet 10, the toilet device 45 and the washbasin 33 are arranged side by side. The front end 33F of the washbasin 33, which faces the assistance space S, is located behind the front end 45F of the toilet device 45 in the use position. Therefore, even if the toilet device 45 and the washbasin 33 are arranged side by side, the assistance space S can be secured to the side of the toilet device 45. The front end 33F of the washbasin 33 is located behind the rear end 47HR of the excretion opening 47H in the toilet seat 47 of the toilet device 45. The front end 33F of the washbasin 33 is located behind the rear end 47R of the toilet seat 47. The front end 33F of the washbasin 33 is located behind the rear end 45R of the toilet device 45. Therefore, a sufficiently wide assistance space S can be secured in the front-to-rear direction.

The rear end 34R of the bowl 34 of the washbasin 33 is located rearward of the rear end 45R on the top surface of the toilet device 45, so the front-to-rear dimension of the bowl 34 can be made large. Therefore, even if water splashes in the bowl 34, the splashed water is unlikely to reach the front of the bowl 34.

Because the rear storage section 30 is provided behind the washbasin 33, the drain pipe 60 and the ventilation pipe 62 can be arranged behind the washbasin 33. At least a portion of the rear storage section 30 is secured in an area above the top end of the washbasin 33 and the toilet storage section 12, so the space above the washbasin 33 can be effectively utilized without becoming dead space.

The toilet device 45 can be moved between a use position where it is lined up to the left and right of the washbasin 33 when viewed from the front, and a storage position behind the use position. The toilet storage space 14 for accommodating the toilet device 45 when moved to the storage position is provided by the depth extending from the front end 33F to the rear end 33R of the washbasin 33 and the depth in the front-to-rear direction of the rear storage section 30. By providing the rear storage section 30 behind the washbasin 33, the space generated behind the use position can be effectively utilized as the toilet storage space 14 without becoming dead space.

The rotation shaft 38 is positioned toward the washbasin 33 rather than the center in the left-right direction of the toilet device 45 when in the use position. As the toilet device 45 moves from the use position to the storage position, the toilet device 45 does not move significantly left-right relative to the washbasin 33, so the toilet device 45 can be stored in a position close to the washbasin 33.

<Embodiment 2>
Next, a toilet device 2 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 7 and 8. In the second embodiment, the door 70 and the paper holder are attached at different positions from those in the first embodiment. As the other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are used for the same configurations, and descriptions of the structure, operation, and effects will be omitted.

The toilet storage section 12 is provided with a door 70 for opening and closing the opening 13. The door 70 is composed of a folding door having a hanging panel 71 and a door end panel 72. The hanging panel 71 is supported on the right edge of the opening 13. In the process of opening the door 70 from a closed state, the two panels 71, 72 are displaced so that they overlap with their outer surfaces facing each other. In other words, the hanging panel 71 rotates approximately 90° with respect to the front section 12F of the toilet storage section 12, and the door end panel 72 rotates approximately 180° relative to the hanging panel 71.

When the door 70 is open, it protrudes forward from the right edge of the opening 13. A paper holder 18 is attached to the inner surface of the hanging panel 71, far from the door end panel 72. When the door 70 is open, the paper holder 18 faces the toilet device 45 from the right. When the door 70 is closed, the paper holder 18 is stored in the toilet storage section 12, so the paper holder 18 can be hidden. Since the front end of the toilet device 45 is bullet-shaped, a storage space 73 for storing the paper holder 18 is secured between the front end of the toilet device 45 and the hanging panel 71 when the door 70 is closed. Therefore, when the door 70 is closed, the paper holder 18 does not interfere with the toilet device 45.
