Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a cabinet installed in a toilet or washroom, and particularly relates to a cabinet with a blower in which a blower is disposed inside the cabinet body.

(Prior Art) Toilets and washrooms have small spaces, and are under adverse conditions such as foul odors and low room temperatures in winter.

Therefore, in cabinets installed in toilets, washrooms, etc., it is desired to have a cabinet with a blower, which has a blower placed inside the cabinet body, in order to deodorize, blow air, heat, etc. without occupying space. As shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-49449, the cabinet is formed with a double structure consisting of an inlet formed in the upper part of the cabinet, an outlet formed in the lower part of the cabinet, and a back plate of the cabinet. A cabinet with a blower has been proposed, which includes a duct that communicates the suction port and the blowout port and houses a blower therein.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, in addition to the above-mentioned adverse conditions, toilets and washrooms are often installed using the space under the stairs,
Because beams, ducts, or piping are installed below the ceiling surface, the height of the space is often limited or the ceiling surface is irregularly shaped.

For this reason, when installing a cabinet with a conventional blower in a limited height or irregularly shaped space, it is not possible to install a tall cabinet, so it is necessary to install a short cabinet, for example, one that is about waist height. I didn't get it.

However, even if a blower is installed for deodorization, ventilation, or heating in a short cabinet, the purpose of installing the blower is not sufficient because the air circulation only takes place at the bottom of the toilet or washroom space. results in unachievable results. In particular, when a sink, mirror, lighting, etc. are incorporated into a cabinet equipped with an air blower, there is a problem that if the cabinet is short, the suction port cannot be provided at the optimal position for air circulation.

In view of the above, the present invention allows the height of the main body of the cabinet to be adjusted, so that even when installed in a limited height or irregularly shaped space, the height can be made as high as possible depending on the space. The purpose is to effectively circulate air.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention divides the cabinet body into upper and lower halves, and also divides the duct provided at the back of the cabinet body into upper and lower halves. The upper duct is slidably inserted into and supported by the lower duct.

Specifically, the solution taken by the present invention includes a suction port provided at the top of the cabinet body, an air outlet provided at the bottom of the cabinet body, and the suction port and the air outlet provided at the back of the cabinet body. A cabinet with a blower is provided, which is provided with a duct provided to communicate with the air blower and a duct in which a blower is housed, and the cabinet main body is formed separately from a lower cabinet and the lower cabinet. and an upper cabinet disposed above, and the duct is formed by a lower duct formed with a back plate of the lower cabinet having a double structure and a back plate of the upper cabinet having a double structure. and an upper duct slidably fitted and supported by the lower duct.

(Function) With the above configuration, the upper duct is slidably inserted into the lower duct and is supported by the lower duct, so that the position of the upper duct from the floor can be changed in the vertical direction. be able to. Further, since the upper cabinet is integrated with the upper duct, the position of the upper cabinet can also be changed in the vertical direction, and the height of the cabinet body can be adjusted accordingly.
