Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the structure of a toilet device having various functions.

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, toilet devices have been provided that have the functions of deodorizing the inside of a toilet room, heating the toilet room, and cleaning private parts. Conventionally, when attaching a device having these functions to a toilet bowl, the following method has been used. ■ A type in which the toilet functional device is placed inside the toilet bowl, ■ A type in which the toilet functional device is placed in the rear of the toilet body and is integrally covered with the toilet bowl with a cover such as resin, ■
There is a type in which the functional device for the toilet is placed in a casing separate from the toilet main body, and this is fixed on the toilet.

FIG. 6 shows a conventional example of the type (3), in which a hot water washing device a and the like are built inside the toilet bowl 1. FIG. 7 shows a type disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 62-125127 and is of the type (■) above, in which a warm water washing device a, etc. is arranged in the space at the rear of the toilet bowl 1, and the toilet bowl is covered with a cover b made of synthetic resin. 1
It is designed to give a sense of unity. FIG. 8 shows a conventional example of the type (2) above, in which a hot air generator c is incorporated into the toilet lid 2 of the toilet bowl 1.

0004

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the case of the conventional example of type (■), the functional device for the toilet is built into the inside of the toilet 1, so although the design is neat, the maintenance work is very time-consuming. The problem is that it requires In the case of type (2), since the functional device for the toilet is housed in a large cover, there is a problem in that it is difficult to work in a small toilet room or the like. In the case of type (2), maintenance is easy because the casing is separate from the toilet bowl, but in the case of the example shown in FIG. 8, there is another problem in that the toilet lid 2 is heavy and has poor operability.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a toilet device that is easy to maintain and has an excellent design.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the toilet device of the present invention is a tank-combined type toilet bowl in which a low tank 3 is placed and fixed on the rear upper surface of the toilet bowl 1, and is housed on the front side outside the low tank 3. A space 4 is formed, and this accommodation space 4
Toilet functional devices A such as a drive motor 5, a control/power supply board 6, and a deodorizing unit 7 are arranged in the toilet bowl, and a removable cover 8 is provided integrally with the low tank 3 so as to cover the housing space 4. It is characterized by

[0007]

[Function] By storing it on the front side of the low tank 3 and covering it with the cover 8, it has an appearance that is integrated with the low tank 3, which has an excellent design, and maintenance can be easily performed by simply removing the cover 8.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a low tank 3 is placed and fixed on the upper surface of the rear part of a toilet bowl 1. A housing space 4 is provided on the outside front side of the low tank 3, and a cover 8 integral with the low tank 3 is removably attached to the front side of the housing space 4. The front cover 8 is provided with a switch 9 for various operations, and the side of the cover 8 is provided with a hot air outlet 10. The toilet lid 2 is on the top of the toilet bowl 1.
A toilet seat 29 is attached so that it can be opened and closed.

[0009] In the accommodation space 4 on the front side of the low tank 3, functional devices A for the toilet such as a drive motor 5, a deodorizing unit 7, a control/power supply board 6, a hot air generator 11, etc. are arranged. The shaft 5a of the drive motor 5 passes through the rear panel 12 and the low tank 3 and extends into the low tank 3, and the shaft 5a is connected to one end of a chain 13 inside the low tank 3. A float valve 14 is connected to the other end of the chain 13, and a drive motor 5
The rotation of the float valve 14 opens the float valve 14 to perform cleaning. 15 is an overflow pipe.

An intake pipe 16 and an exhaust pipe 17 are extended from the deodorizing unit 7, and the intake pipe 16 faces the toilet bowl 18 of the toilet bowl 1, and the exhaust pipe 17 is connected to the drain pipe 1 of the toilet bowl 1.
It is connected to 9. And the deodorizing unit 7 has an intake pipe 16
The odor inside the toilet bowl 18 is sucked in and discharged into a drain pipe 19 through an exhaust pipe 17. The inside of the deodorizing unit 7 is equipped with activated carbon and a deodorizing filter, and functions to remove odors within the toilet bowl 1.

The hot air generator 11 consists of a hot air fan 20, a heater 21, etc. The hot air fan 20 sends out air, the heater 21 warms the air, and the air is discharged into the toilet room from the hot air outlet 10. It's supposed to blow out. The control/power supply board 6 controls the drive motor 5, the deodorizing unit 7, the hot air generator 11, etc. based on signals from the switch 9 and the sensor 22. The sensor 22 is provided near the switch 9 of the cover 8, and is, for example, a temperature sensor or a human body detection sensor, and detects the temperature in the toilet room and the presence of a person. A signal is sent from the sensor 22 to the control/power supply board 6, and the control/power supply board 6 activates the hot air generator 11 when the temperature in the toilet room drops, and activates the deodorizing unit 7 when someone enters the room. The drive motor 5, deodorizing unit 7, hot air generator 11, etc. are controlled in accordance with the signals.

[0012] The cover 8 is removably fixed integrally with the low tank 3 on the front surface of the low tank 3 so as to cover the drive motor 5, deodorizing unit 7, control/power supply board 6, and hot air generator 11. . 4 and 5 on the rear panel 12.
As shown in the figure, a panel fixing hole 24 is provided so as to match a low tank fixing hole 23 provided through the front wall of the low tank 3. Pass the panel fixing screw 25 through the panel fixing hole 24 and the low tank fixing hole 23, and insert the nut 27 from the inside of the low tank 3 through the panel packing 26.
, and the back panel 12 is fixed to the front of the low tank 3. The drive motor 5 and other parts are located on the back panel 12.
Fixed on top. The front cover 8 is the back panel 12
and is fixed by cover fixing screws 28. switch 9
The sensor 22 is placed on the front left or upper right side of the cover 3 so that it can operate correctly even when the toilet lid 2 is open.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention forms a storage space on the outside front side of the low tank, and arranges functional devices for the toilet such as a drive motor, a control/power supply board, and a deodorizing unit in this storage space. A removable cover is provided integrally with the low tank to cover this accommodation space, so even if a functional device for the toilet is installed, it will not protrude toward the toilet side, resulting in a cleaner overall design and better design. In addition, since it can be installed without protruding from the front side of the low tank, it can be installed in a small toilet room and the area around the toilet can be cleaned easily.Furthermore, the cover can be easily removed, so maintenance work such as parts replacement and repair can be done easily. It is very easy to use, and has the advantage of being easy to operate since no parts are housed in movable parts, such as the toilet lid, as in conventional toilets.
