Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to the location of an operating switch in a low tank flush toilet.

[Background Art] In the case of a conventional low-tank flush toilet, as shown in FIG.
A hand-held operating section 3 is provided on the side of the hand-held operating section 3.
Washing and hot air operations could be performed by operating the push button. However, when the hand-held operation part 3 is provided on the side of the toilet bowl 2, there is a risk that the man may get urinated when he urinates, which is not only unclean but also causes malfunctions. Although the above-mentioned problem can be solved by attaching the operation box 5 to the wall surface 4, there are problems in that this increases the cost and the wiring cord 6 gets in the way of cleaning. It is also conceivable to provide the operating section on the front side of the toilet bowl 2, which is indicated by the symbol A in FIG. 4, but this position gives a feeling of uncleanness. Although it is conceivable to provide an operating section on the upper surface of the tank housing case 1 indicated by the symbol B in FIG. 4, there is a problem that it becomes a hindrance when small items are placed thereon. Although it is possible to provide the operation section on the side of the tank housing case 1 indicated by the symbol C in Fig. 4, there are problems in that it is difficult to see the operation section in this part and it is difficult to read the display when there is a display section. . Although it is conceivable to provide an operating section in the center of the front surface of the tank housing case 1, which is indicated by the symbol D in FIG. There is a problem in that the push button on the operation unit is pressed and the switch is turned on unexpectedly.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was made in view of the above points, and the purpose of the present invention is to be able to place the switch push button in a position where it is easy to operate, and to prevent the operation part from getting dirty. The aim is to provide a flush toilet that will not turn on if accidentally pressed.

[Disclosure of the invention] In the flush toilet of the present invention, a tank housing case 1 that houses a low tank is installed upright on the back of the toilet bowl 2, and the toilet bowl 2 is attached to the toilet lid 7 on the front surface 8 of the tank storage case 1 facing the toilet bowl 2 side. A push button 9 of the operation switch is provided on the surface 8 above the position where the top end of the toilet lid 7 touches when the toilet lid 7 is leaning against the toilet lid 7. The thickness F is made lower than that of the conventional example, and the drawbacks of the conventional example are solved by having the structure as described above. In other words, the push button 9 of the operation switch is provided on the front surface 8 above the position where the top end of the toilet lid 7 hits when the toilet lid 7 of the toilet bowl 2 is leaning against the front end of the tank storage case 1 facing the toilet bowl 2 side. As a result, the push button 9 of the operation switch is located at the upper part of the front surface 8 of the tank storage case 1.
It is easy to operate and the push button 9 is less likely to get dirty.Moreover, the push button 9 is placed in a position where the toilet lid 7 does not touch it, so even if the toilet lid 7 is propped up, the push button 9 will not be pressed and the switch will be turned off unexpectedly. Also, by making the height G at which the push button 9 protrudes from the front surface 8 of the tank storage case 1 lower than the thickness F of the toilet lid 7, the user can sit on the toilet bowl 2 and not touch the toilet lid 7. Even when I lean back, push button 9 is no longer accidentally pressed and the switch is turned on.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples.

As shown in FIG. 1, a tank storage case 1 in which a low tank is stored is installed upright on the back of a toilet bowl 2.
A toilet lid 7 is mounted on the toilet bowl 2 so that it can be raised and lowered.
The push button 9 of the operation switch for operating cleaning and hot air is attached to the front surface 8 of the tank storage case 1 as shown in FIGS. A push button 9 is attached in the range indicated by the symbol E at the upper part of the front face 8, which is located above the position where the upper end of the toilet lid 7 hits the front face 8 when the toilet lid 7 is leaning against the front face 8. In addition, the height G of the push button 9 protruding from the front surface 8 is the height G of the toilet lid 7.
The thickness is made lower than the thickness F of the upper end of. Then, by operating the push button 9 on the front surface 8 of the tank storage case 1, cleaning or hot air operations are performed. At this time, since the push button 9 is located at the upper part of the front surface, it is easy to operate, and even when a boy urinates, the urine does not become hard or dirty. Furthermore, even if the user rests his or her back while sitting on the toilet bowl 2, the user's back is restrained by the toilet lid 7, so that the user's back does not come into contact with the push button 9, and the switch is not turned on unexpectedly.

Further, FIG. 3 shows another embodiment. A toilet lid 7 and a toilet seat 11 are attached to the back side of the upper part of the toilet bowl 2 with a hinge shaft 10.
The base of the toilet lid 7 and the toilet seat 11 are rotatably supported by a shaft, and thin curved pieces 7a and 11a are extended from the hinge shaft 10 of the toilet lid 7 and the toilet seat 11 to the base side. A protruding surface part 12 is provided at the lower part of the front surface 8 of the tank storage case 1, with which the tips of the curved pieces 7a and 11a come into elastic contact when the toilet lid 7 and the toilet seat 11 are closed. However, toilet lid 7 and toilet seat 1
When the toilet lid 7 and the toilet seat 11 are folded down to close, the curved pieces 7a and 11a come into elastic contact with the protruding surface part 12 and are closed slowly, so that no impact noise is generated when the toilet lid 7 or the toilet seat 11 is closed.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the present invention has an operating section installed in the tank storage casing, so it is possible to achieve a cheaper structure than installing the operating section on the wall, and the front side of the tank storage casing facing the toilet bowl can be The push button for the operation switch is provided on the front surface above the position where the top edge of the toilet lid touches when the toilet lid is leaning against the toilet. It is easy to operate, the push button is hard to get dirty, and the push button is located in a position where the toilet lid does not touch, so even if the toilet lid is propped up, the push button will not be pressed and the switch will not turn on unexpectedly. In addition, the height at which the push button protrudes from the front of the tank storage case is lower than the thickness of the toilet lid, so even if the user sits on the toilet and rests his or her back against the toilet lid, the push button will not be pressed unexpectedly and the switch will not turn off. It is something that does not enter.
