CONSTITUTION:A wall panel 3 for supporting a washbowl 1 can be moved vertically, and motor-driven jacks 10, 10 are driven by a motor and move vertically a lot 10a. In connection therewith, a panel frame 3b is guide by slide guides 9, 9 and can move in the vertical direction. That is, the wall panel 3 moves vertically, and the washbowl 1 is moved vertically to an arbitrary height position. In this regard, the slide guide 9 and the motor-driven jack 10 are installed in a corner cabinet of the side to which the wall panel 3 is attached.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an adjusting device capable of freely adjusting the height of a washbasin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to arbitrarily adjust the height of the washbasin, there is a washbasin provided with a drive unit for moving the washbasin up and down. There is a problem in that the drive unit existing in the lower part is exposed, the aesthetics of the washroom in which the washbasin is installed is impaired, and the appearance is deteriorated.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised in view of the above problems of the prior art, and provides a height adjusting device which has a good appearance and can adjust the height of a washbasin well. For the purpose of not providing, the gist thereof is to provide a drive device capable of moving the wall panel up and down on the wall panel on which the washbasin is fixedly installed.

[0004]

Since the washbasin is fixedly mounted on the wall panel and the drive device for moving the wall panel up and down is provided, the drive device can be installed on the back side of the wall panel or the like, and the wall panel itself can be moved up and down. The height of the washbasin can be adjusted satisfactorily.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a main part of a washbasin. A washbasin 1 is fixed to a predetermined position on a wall panel 3 forming a wall surface of the washbasin, and a trap portion 2 is provided below the washbasin 1. A wall panel 3 that supports the washbasin 1 is vertically movable, and both side surfaces of the wall panel 3 are inclined portions 3a and 3a formed in an inclined shape.

On the other hand, the side corner cabinet 4 to which the wall panel 3 is attached has an inclined surface corresponding to the inclined portion 3a, and the side wall panel 5 also has the inclined portion 3a.
The inclined portion 5a corresponding to the above is formed, and the wall panel 3 can be interposed between the corner cabinet 4 and the wall panel 5 from the front side. A sub-basin 7 is provided on the under cabinet 8 below the wall panel 5, and a corner cabinet 4 is provided on the right side of the wall panel 5. A base 6 is arranged on the floor side, and a recess 6a into which the trap portion 2 of the washbasin 1 can be inserted is formed in the base 6.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an essential part showing a state in which the wall panel 3 having the washbasin 1 fixed is moved up and down. As a drive device for moving the wall panel 3 up and down, for example, FIG. The structure as shown is adopted. That is, in the case of FIG. 3, the panel frame 3b constituting the reinforcing material on the back side of the wall panel 3 is formed in a frame shape, and the washbasin 1 is fixed to the center portion thereof with bolts or the like. Support frame portion 3c is integrally formed, and panel frame 3b
Slide guides 9, 9 are erected on both sides of the electric guide jacks 10, 10 on the respective sides of the slide guides 9, 9.
The lot 10a at the upper end of is connected to the panel frame 3b. Each of the electric jacks 10, 10 is driven by a motor to move the lot 10a up and down. When the electric jacks 10 are driven, the panel frame 3b slides along with the movement of the lot 10a. It is possible to move vertically by being guided by 9, 9. That is, the wall panel 3 moves up and down, and the washbasin 1 moves up and down to an arbitrary height position. The slide guide 9 and the electric jack 10 can be housed inside the corner cabinet 4.

Further, in the structure shown in FIG. 4, the slide guides 9, 9 are provided on the corner cabinet 4 and the wall panel 5 sides.
The panel frame 3b is fitted in the pair of slide guides 9, 9 so as to be vertically movable, and the hydraulic cylinder 12 is connected to the back side of the support frame portion 3c of the panel frame 3b. Is attached to the column 11. Even with such a structure, the panel frame 3b can be moved up and down by electrically or hydraulically operating the hydraulic cylinder 12. In addition, a pinion-rack meshing mechanism or the like can be used as the driving means for moving up and down. As described above, the drive devices of FIGS. 3 and 4 can be arranged on the side wall surface or the back side of the wall panel 3, and the drive devices can be hidden from the indoor side.
The height of the washbasin 1 fixed to the wall panel 3 can be freely adjusted to a good position by vertically moving the wall panel 3 by operating a switch on the indoor side.

Therefore, for example, when a short child uses the washbasin 1, the wall panel 3 can be moved downward to adjust the position of the washbasin 1 to a low position. The part 2 fits into the recess 6 a of the base 6. In the case of a tall adult, the wall panel 3 can be raised to set the washbasin 1 at a high position.
In addition, in the drive device of this example, since the drive unit does not exist in the lower portion of the washbasin as in the conventional case, it is easy to make the lower portion of the washbasin 1 into a hollowed shape, and the lower portion of the washbasin 1 It is possible to secure a space in which the feet can be properly inserted, and the basin 1 can be used in good condition.

[0010]

According to the height adjusting device of the washbasin of the present invention, the wall panel itself is moved up and down by providing the wall panel on which the washbasin is fixedly provided with the drive device capable of moving the wall panel up and down. This makes it possible to adjust the basin up and down, there is no need to install a drive unit in the lower part of the basin as in the past, and the drive unit can be hidden behind the wall panel, etc. The drive device and the like are not exposed to the inside, and the effect is that the interior side can be made clean and aesthetically pleasing.
