Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a flush toilet in which a sanitary cleaning device having a private part cleaning function is integrated into the toilet body.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a seat-type Western-style flush toilet with a sanitary cleaning device attached thereto is used to clean private parts. A typical structure of this sanitary washing device is one in which the washing water is heated to a temperature suitable for washing, and the washing water is jetted out by a nozzle device that advances to the washing position.

The most commonly used sanitary cleaning device has a structure in which functional parts such as a nozzle device and a hot water tank are built into a casing, and the casing is fixed to the toilet bowl body. The casing was arranged so as to straddle the rear of the toilet bowl body, and the operating parts were located on the left and right sides of the toilet bowl body, thereby improving its usability.

However, if the casing straddles the toilet main body, the width between the left and right sides will also be large, making it unsuitable for installation in a narrow toilet. For this reason, in recent years, toilets have been developed in which the entire functional part, including the flush water tank for flushing the toilet bowl, is covered with a casing.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

When covering this wash water tank with a casing, the space around the wash water tank can be effectively utilized as long as the casing shape is appropriate. Therefore, the casing does not protrude from side to side, and installation conditions are relaxed.

However, even with conventional toilets in which the casing that houses the flush water tank is integrated into the toilet body, it is unclear whether the space around the toilet body is being used effectively.
There is room for doubt. That is, the conventional toilet has a structure in which a casing is provided on the upper part of the toilet bowl body, and the space under the casing is left unused. If the wash water tank is also housed in the casing, the length of the toilet bowl body in the front and back direction will be increased, resulting in the inability to effectively utilize this increased area for storing functional parts, etc. There are still things to do.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to expand the functionality by effectively utilizing the space around the toilet main body provided with the sanitary cleaning device.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the flush toilet of the present invention has a rear part of the toilet bowl as a base, and a flush water tank and a sanitary cleaning device for private parts cleaning are arranged on the upper surface of the toilet bowl body. A casing to be stored is extended below the base and connected to the toilet main body, an operating section is provided on the side of the casing, and a toilet seat and a toilet lid are attached to the casing so as to be openable and closable, and are surrounded by the casing. The space under the base is used for storing equipment.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, features of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a flush toilet according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the sanitary washing device with functional parts removed.

The upper part of the toilet main body 1 is provided with a toilet seat 1a having a heating function, and a toilet lid 1b is attached. An upper casing 20 and a lower casing 21, which cover the entire functional parts of the sanitary washing device including the washing water tank, are integrated on the rear side of the toilet main body 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, a base 3 is fixed to the rear upper surface of the toilet main body l, and a wash water tank 4 is installed using approximately half the area of the base 3. Then, the portion located on the front side of the washing water tank 4 is used as an area where the functional parts of the sanitary washing device are set.

All functional parts of the sanitary cleaning device are arranged on the mounting board 5 except for a valve unit which will be described later. That is,
As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting board 5 has a nozzle device 6. Fan 7 with heater for hot air drying
, a piping unit 8 for sending cleaning water to the nozzle device 6, etc. are laid out at appropriate positions. In addition, a panel 9 for mounting circuit components for control is provided in the pond of these devices, and an operation panel 10 is provided on the side of the upper casing 20, and the base ends of the toilet seat 1a and the toilet lid 1b are connected. An opening/closing device 11 etc. for opening and closing these is provided. Note that the base 3 is provided with a valve unit 12 that is connected to an external water supply source and supplies water to the hot water tank 13.

As shown in FIG. 3, the upper casing 20 has its lower end open so as to cover the entire area of the base 3, and is integrated with the base 3 using screws or the like. It has an internal capacity l large enough to accommodate the entire wash water tank 4 and the sanitary washing device, and is provided with a removably attached lid 20a at the upper end for use in maintenance and inspection of the wash water tank 4.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the lower casings 21 are arranged as a pair on the left and right. The reason why they are provided separately on the left and right sides is to escape the drainage channel lc that is formed so as to protrude from the center of the rear part of the toilet bowl main body 1, as shown in FIG. The lower casing 21 is connected to the lower surface of the base 3 with screws or the like, and the space below the base 3 can be used for storing functional parts.

In the space below the base 3 formed by the lower casing 21, for example, as shown in FIG. , this hot water tank 1
It can be used to store 3 items. Therefore, instead of arranging the hot water tank 13, which occupies a relatively large volume among the functional parts, above the base 3, the space below it is effectively utilized, thereby freeing up the storage function above the base 3. You can have it. As a result, even when the upper casing 20 is removed to inspect internal functional parts or replace parts, the work can be easily done with fingertips, tools, or the like.

Furthermore, FIG. 6 is a side view of the whole as seen from a direction different from that in FIG. ing. As shown in the plan view of FIG. 7, this storage section has a lower casing 21 shaped like a container with an open upper end, and a retractable chamber 21a inside thereof for storing the deodorizing cassette S. This chamber 21a is attached to the lower casing 21 so as to be openable and closable.
It is possible to exchange And this chamber 21a
The interior is communicated with the bowl part of the toilet bowl main body 1, and the odor accumulated in the bowl part is sucked in by a fan (not shown) or the like, and the odor is removed by a deodorizer S and released to the outside.

In addition, the operation of various functions of the sanitary cleaning device and the cleaning water tank 4
Supply of flushing water from the bowl to the bowl of the toilet main body 1 is normally performed using a remote controller P mounted on the wall as shown in FIG. This remote controller P may be of any type, such as a wireless type or a cable. Further, it can be used as a detachable member on a hanger (not shown) fixed to a wall, or it can be directly fixed to a wall. And this remote controller P
Instead, the operation panel 10 can also be used auxiliary.

As described above, the space below the base 3 is replaced by the lower casing 2.
1, and a hot water tank 13 is housed and arranged in this space, and one lower casing 21 has a chamber 2.
A deodorizing cassette S is provided in 1a. Therefore, compared to only using the upper part of the toilet bowl body l on which the sanitary cleaning device is placed, the lower space of the base 3 can also be used for storing functional parts, making it possible to expand the functions of the sanitary cleaning device. can. For example, in the embodiment, it is used to store the hot water tank 13 and the deodorizing cassette S, but if the cleaning water piping and other equipment necessary for the sanitary cleaning device are incorporated, the functional parts placed on the base 3 can be You can have enough space.

Therefore, assembly, maintenance and inspection work, etc. can be facilitated.

Further, as shown in the figure, the upper caning 20 and the lower casing 21 are arranged so that the sense of unity with the toilet main body 1 is emphasized.
The outer shape is mainly composed of gently curved surfaces. Therefore, dust etc. adhering to the surface can be easily wiped off with a rag or the like, and a sanitary environment can always be maintained.
