Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an anal washer water supply device installed in a toilet bowl equipped with a low tank.

As a means of installing an anal cleaning machine that sprays lukewarm water toward the anus from a nozzle in the toilet bowl into an existing toilet bowl without any plumbing work, even an amateur can easily install a small pump in the low tank and store water in the low tank. The idea was to supply water to the anal irrigation machine. However, using the water stored in the low tank as anal cleansing water has the following problems. That is, first of all, when installed in the low tank with a hand wash, which is the most popular type in general, dirty water after washing hands is stored in the low tank, and it is not sanitary to use this water for washing the anus. Furthermore, even if a closed low tank does not have a hand basin, it is common practice to put toilet bowl cleaning chemicals in the low tank, so water mixed with chemicals cannot be used for anal cleansing.

A device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-116486 that can solve these problems has an expandable and contractible material molded from a soft material that can be easily bent and deformed, such as soft vinyl chloride, inside the low tank. A container is placed in the container, and fresh water can be stored in the container, separated from the water stored for toilet flushing in the low tank.The container can be expanded and contracted by the water pressure in the low tank, so it can be used for toilet flushing. This has the advantage that it does not reduce the amount of water used, but on the other hand, a container that can be expanded or contracted has the disadvantage that it is not durable because it is constantly deformed and breaks down in a short period of time due to deterioration of the material. Also,
A container that has contracted due to water pressure will expand again if fresh water is replenished into the container first, but if toilet flushing water is replenished into the low tank before fresh water, the container will not expand. There was a risk that there would be a severe shortage of water for anal irrigation.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a highly durable device that can reliably store a certain amount of clean water for anal irrigation without causing a shortage of water for anal irrigation. The water supply device for an anal irrigation machine according to the present invention is installed in a low tank that maintains a constant water level using a ball tap, and a regular-shaped fresh water tank is installed so that it can float up and down by being guided by a guide member. , the secondary side discharge port of the ball tap is branched to the fresh water tank, and the fresh water in the fresh water tank is supplied to the anal irrigation machine by a small pump, and the water is absorbed by the floating action of the fresh water tank. It aims to achieve that purpose.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the figure, 1 is a low tank that is integrally provided at the rear of a Western-style toilet 2, and 3 is a hand-washing water receiver cover that is placed over the top opening of the low tank, and is connected to a water pipe 4 on one side wall of the upper part of the low tank 1. A known ball tap 5 is attached, and the ball tap 5 is provided with a float 6 that rises and falls depending on the water level of the low tank 1. The secondary outlet of the ball tap 5 branches into a water spout 7 and a water spout 8, the water spout 7 spouts tap water directly into the low tank 1, and the water spout 8 has a flexible communication pipe 9 to It is connected to an inverted J-shaped hand wash water spout fitting 10 attached to the hand wash water receiver cover 3. The hand wash water receiving cover 3 has a through hole 1 in the center of the concave upper surface for allowing the hand wash water to flow down into the low tank 1.
1 has been established. A wash water outlet 12 is provided in the center of the bottom wall of the low tank 1, and a valve port 14 with an overflow pipe 13 hanging down from one side of the outlet 12 is provided.
is attached, and an inverted bowl-shaped elastic valve body 15 is pivotally supported by a pin 16 so as to fit into the valve port 14. Reference numeral 17 denotes a cleaning operation lever rotatably attached to the other side wall of the low tank 1. A chain 18 is attached to the end of a bending arm 19 fixed to the inside of the lever, and the other end of the chain 18 is attached to the elastic valve body 15. There is. The above configuration is equivalent to the generally popular low tank with hand wash.

The implementation product of the present invention is constructed as follows. That is, the guide member 20, which is made of a plate member of a certain width bent into a shape, is installed at a position in the low tank 1 that does not interfere with the floating and sinking operation of the float 6, and the fresh water tank 21 is made to float and sink freely by being guided by the guide member. Provided for. The guide member 20 is attached by bending its upper end outward and engaging the bent portion 22 with the upper opening edge of the low tank 1. The fresh water tank 21 is made of hard plastic, has a cubic shape with an open top, and has frame pieces 23 integrally formed at the upper and lower ends of both outer surfaces thereof, into which the guide member 20 is inserted. In addition, fresh water tank 21
The height of the top surface of the opening of the low water tank 21 is set to be slightly higher than the upper end opening of the overflow pipe 13 even when the fresh water tank 21 is lowered to the lowest level, so that water in the low tank 1 will not flow out from the overflow pipe 13 due to a malfunction or the like. However, the water is prevented from flowing into the fresh water tank 21. At the water spout of the hand wash water spout fitting 10, there is a flow divider 2 in which an internal flow path is bifurcated.
4 is removably attached with screws, and one of the flow channels has an opening 25 for discharging water for hand washing, and an extension pipe 26 is connected to the other flow channel, and the extension pipe is connected to the hand wash water receiving cover 3.
It penetrates through the through hole 11 and hangs down from the upper surface of the opening into the fresh water tank 21. Reference numeral 27 indicates a locking ring that locks the extension pipe 26 on the inner surface of the fresh water tank 21. A small pump 28 is housed in the fresh water tank 21, and a flexible hose 29 to which the discharge port is connected is extended to the outside through the gap between the upper opening edge of the low tank 1 and the hand wash water receiving cover 3. The tip is connected to the water inlet of the anal washer 30. Note that the anal washer 30 is fixedly installed on one side of the toilet bowl 2, 31 indicates its operation handle, and 32 indicates an adjustment knob.

When installing the water supply device configured as described above, first, water is shut off from the tap water pipe 4 with an upstream stop valve (not shown), and the cleaning operation lever 17 is rotated to open the valve port 14. After draining the cleaning water in the low tank 1, attach the guide member 20 and
1 is placed in the low tank 1. and flow divider 2
The extension pipe 26 connected to 4 is suspended into the fresh water tank 21, and the hose 29 of the small pump 28 is connected to the anal washer 3.
0, then when the tap water pipe 4 is opened, part of the water supplied from the ball tap 5 will be discharged from the discharge port 7 into the low tank 1, and the other part will flow through the communication pipe 9 to the water discharge fitting 10, and some of it will also flow into the water discharge fitting 10 through the communication pipe 9. The water is discharged from the opening 25 for hand washing, and the remaining water is branched by the flow divider 24 and supplied to the fresh water tank 21 through the extension pipe 26. When the amount of water stored in the low tank 1 gradually increases and reaches a certain water level in the low tank 1, the float 6 reaches its upper limit and the ball tap 5 stops supplying water. At that time, a predetermined amount of fresh water is stored in the fresh water tank 21, and the weight of the fresh water tank 21 is as shown in FIG.
As shown in Figure 2, it is in a sunken position. When a person who relieves himself/herself operates the anal washer 30, the small pump 28 is activated, and the water in the fresh water tank 21 is pumped up and sent to the anal washer 30, where it is heated to a predetermined temperature and becomes hot water. and is ejected towards the anus. As a result, the water in the fresh water tank 21 decreases and gradually becomes lighter, so the fresh water tank 21
gradually floats up along the guide member 20. Therefore, the water level in low tank 1 decreases and float 1
1 moves downward, water supply by the ball tap 5 is resumed as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and water is replenished into both the low tank 1 and the fresh water tank 21.
By providing the fresh water tank 21 in such a manner that it floats and sinks in the low tank 1 according to the amount of stored fresh water, the amount of water stored in the fresh water tank 21 that can be used for anal cleaning and the amount of water stored in the low tank 1 that can be used for cleaning filth can be adjusted. Both have the advantage of being able to substantially increase the amount. In other words, if the fresh water tank 21 is fixed in the low tank 1 so that it does not float or sink, the amount of fresh water that can be used for anal cleaning is limited to the capacity of the fresh water tank 21, and the amount of clean water that can be used for toilet bowl cleaning is limited to the amount that can be used for anal cleaning. Compared to before installation, the capacity is reduced by the outer diameter capacity of the fresh water tank 21. However, if the fresh water tank 21 is made to float and sink as in the product of the present invention, when the water in the fresh water tank 21 is used for anal cleansing, the ball tap opens and water is replenished into the fresh water tank 21 and the low tank 1. Since the amount of water used for washing the toilet bowl does not decrease significantly, there is an advantage that a sufficient amount of water for washing the anus can be supplied.

Note that if only the toilet bowl is flushed without anal cleansing, the water supplied to the fresh water tank 21 will overflow from the top opening of the fresh water tank 21, but there will be no problem. The water level in low tank 1 is fresh water tank 2
The water in the low tank 1 used for hand washing does not flow into the fresh water tank 21 because the water does not rise above the upper end opening of the overflow pipe 13 which is lower than the upper opening of the overflow pipe 13.

In this embodiment, water from the outlet on the secondary side of the ball tap 5 is supplied to the fresh water tank 21 via the hand wash water spout fitting 10 by attaching a flow divider 24 to the hand wash water spout fitting 10. Needless to say, in a low tank without a hand wash, a flow divider may be connected directly to the discharge port on the secondary side of the ball tap 5. Further, in this embodiment, a small water pump 28 is housed in the fresh water tank 21, but water may be sucked from the fresh water tank 21 by incorporating such a water supply pump in the anal washer 30. Of course it's a good thing.

As explained in the above embodiments, the present invention allows a regular-shaped fresh water tank to float and sink in a low tank, so it can be installed without causing a shortage of water for toilet flushing, and it does not have the same durability as an expandable container. It is advantageous that it can be used for a long period of time without trouble, without the fear that the required amount of water for anal irrigation will not be stored due to such defects or poor expansion.
