Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a flush toilet equipped with a toilet bowl and a deodorizing cassette that creates a fragrance inside the toilet.

[Conventional technology]

Flush toilets do not have the function of discharging filth along with flushing water, and in recent years, toilets equipped with sanitary cleaning devices for cleaning private parts have become widely used.

This sanitary cleaning device includes a hot water tank that heats cleaning water, a nozzle device that sprays the cleaning water toward private parts, and the like. These internal devices are housed in a casing that is fixed to the toilet bowl body. Additionally, in addition to the cleaning function, many toilets are equipped with a warm air fan for drying after cleaning, and are also equipped with a deodorizer to remove unpleasant odors after using the toilet.

For example, as a flush toilet equipped with a deodorizer,
There is a method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 1983-265478, which was previously proposed by the present applicant. As shown in FIG. 6, this has a structure in which a storage section 53 for a deodorizing cassette 52 is provided on the side of a casing 51 of a sanitary cleaning device provided in a toilet main body 50.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The storage section 53 is formed so that the sides of the casing 51 are open, and the deodorizing cassette 52 can be taken in and out through a door (not shown) that can be opened and closed. The storage and removal is done using the deodorizing cassette 5.
This is done by sliding 2 laterally.

However, if there is not enough distance between the opening of the storage section 53 and the wall 54 of the toilet, the tip of the deodorizing cassette 52 will hit the wall 54 when the deodorizing cassette 52 is slid outward. For this reason, the deodorizing cassette 52 is forced into the storage section 53 in an oblique position.
This may damage the casing 51 or prevent it from being set in the proper position.

In this way, with the structure in which the storage section 53 is opened to the side of the casing 51 and the deodorizing cassette 52 is slid laterally, there are difficulties in storing and taking out the deodorizing cassette 52, and there are still problems that need to be improved.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily attach and detach a deodorizing cassette to and from a storage section, and also to be able to set it in an appropriate posture.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has been developed to provide a flush toilet equipped with a deodorizing cassette in the exhaust flow path through which foul-smelling air sucked from the bowl part of the toilet bowl passes. A storage portion for the deodorizing cassette is provided in the storage portion in an open manner, and a holding box for removably holding the deodorizing cassette is provided in the storage portion by a pivot structure between the storage portion and the storage portion so that its inner wall is raised upward. When the holding box is opened, the inner wall of the deodorizing cassette is placed as a mounting surface, and when the holding box is closed, the deodorizing cassette is placed in the exhaust flow path. It is characterized in that the inner wall is provided with a bottom plate for receiving the lower surface of the cassette.

The figure and FIG. 3 are a plan view and a front sectional view of the main parts, respectively.

As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the flush toilet A has an upper casing 1a and a lower casing 1b fixed therein, which house a sanitary washing device having a washing function such as a nozzle device, and a washing water tank. There is. A toilet seat B and a toilet lid C are pivotally attached to the upper casing 1a so as to be openable and closable. As the sanitary cleaning device, the one described in Japanese Patent Application No. 60-265478 mentioned in the prior art section can be used. Moreover, in FIG. 4, P is an operation panel provided on the wall surface, and the operation of the nozzle device, hot water tank, etc. of the sanitary washing device is performed by operating this.

When the upper casing 1a is viewed from the front, a storage section 2 for a deodorizing cassette is provided on the right side, and an operation panel 3 for operating the sanitary cleaning device, etc., similar to the wall-mounted operation panel P, is provided on the left side. Placed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a part of the lower casing 1b is formed as a storage section 2 for the deodorizing cassette S, and a side wall of this storage section 2 has a set opening 2a for the deodorant cassette S. has been established. A mount box 4 is fixed inside the storage section 2, and a holding box 5 whose base end is pivotally connected to the mount box 4 is attached so as to be openable and closable.

The mount box 4, as shown in FIG.
A vent hole 4b is opened in the bottom plate 4a, and a gear device 6 connected to a holding box 5 is provided on one side wall. Further, the front side has a large opening so that the holding box 5 can be freely moved in and out, and a locking device 7 is disposed at the upper end thereof. This locking device 7
utilizes a latch mechanism used in general lightweight machinery, etc. The main body 7a is equipped with springs, cams, etc., and two arms 7b protruding from the main body are formed on the back surface of the holding box 5. It can engage with the protrusion 5a. And holding box 5
When opening, when the protrusion 5a is pushed in the direction of the mount box 4, the arm 7b is opened by the operation of the internal mechanism and is disengaged from the protrusion 5a.

The holding box 5 is provided with side plates 8a on the left and right sides, and also forms a bottom plate 8b for receiving the bottom surface of the deodorizing cassette S and a support plate 8c for receiving the top surface thereof.
Further, the bottom plate 8b is provided with a vent hole 8d that matches the vent hole 4b of the mount box 4, and a cushioning material 8e is attached to the lower surface of the bottom plate 8b.

Furthermore, shafts 9 are provided on the left and right sides of the portion located below the bottom plate 8b, and a gear 9a that meshes with the gear device 6 of the mount box 4 is provided on one shaft 9. Further, a coil spring 9b is connected between the shaft 9 on the side to which the gear 9a is mounted and the storage portion 2. This coil spring 9b is installed in such a position as to apply a biasing force in the direction of opening the holding box 5, and the holding box 5, which is released from the locking device 7 using a latch mechanism, is quickly opened by this biasing force. It serves the function of opening the door.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lower casing 1b forming the storage section 2 is integrated with the lower surface of the upper casing 1a. A duct 1 opens to the bowl part a of the flush toilet A and communicates with the inside of the storage part 2.
0 is formed in the upper casing 1a. As schematically shown, this duct 10 is equipped with a suction fan 11 in the middle of the exhaust flow path, and serves as a system for sending odor from the ball part a into the storage part 2 via the duct 10. On the other hand, when the holding box 5 is housed in the storage section 2 to set the deodorizing cassette S, the exhaust flow path from top to bottom is opened by the respective vents 4b and 8d of the mount box 4 and the holding box 5. is formed. Furthermore, an exhaust port 2b is provided at the lowest end of the storage section 2.

Therefore, compared to the conventional case where the deodorizing cassette S is put in and taken out by sliding it sideways, the space required for replacement becomes smaller. Therefore, even if the distance between the flush toilet bowl A and the toilet wall on its side is small, the deodorizing cassette S can be easily replaced.

Further, when the deodorizing cassette S is positioned in the storage section 2 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, it is set in the exhaust flow path from the ball part a by the suction fan 11. When the suction fan 11 is operated, the odor in the ball part a is sent into the storage part 2 through the duct 10, and when it passes through the deodorizing cassette S, it is deodorized and given a fragrance. This aroma-containing air is further discharged from the exhaust port 2b at the lower end via the vents 4b and 8d by the exhaust pressure of the suction fan 11.

Furthermore, when replacing the deodorizing cassette S, by lightly pressing the upper end of the front surface of the holding box 5 with a finger, the engagement of the protrusion 5a with the arm 7b of the latch mechanism type locking device 7 is released. And the gear 9 on the shaft 9
By the operation of the coil spring 9a and the coil spring 9b, the holding box 5 quickly opens and assumes the position shown by the dashed line in FIGS. 2 and 3.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the flush toilet of the present invention, the deodorizing cassette that deodorizes the foul-smelling air inside the bowl sucked by the fan is removably set in a holding box that is attached to the casing so that it can be opened and closed. However, when this holding box is opened, the deodorizing cassette can be grasped from above to be set or removed. Therefore, compared to the conventional structure in which the deodorizing cassette is pulled out to the side of the casing, the space required for handling is narrower.
Therefore, even if the distance between the toilet bowl and the wall of the toilet is small, the deodorizing cassette can be taken in and out quickly. Furthermore, by simply placing the deodorizing cassette on the holding box and closing it in the storage section, the deodorizing cassette can be set in an appropriate position within the exhaust flow path, without impairing the deodorizing effect.
