Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the durability of structural members such as beams by preventing dew formation in a bathroom as the result of circulation of air from under the floor, for preventing the structural members from becoming moldy or corroding. SOLUTION: In this unitized bathroom comprising ceiling panels 1, wall panels 2, door panels, a floor pan 4, a bathtub 5 and the like and assembled into a box shape for installation within a structure, elastic packing 16 is mounted on the outer periphery of the top of the floor pan. The packing 16 closes the space 9 between the floor pan and the column, exterior wall, or structural panel of the structure, and prevents air under the floor from circulating and moving upwards from the floor pan.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a unit bathroom assembled and installed in a box shape in a structure and a method for installing the unit bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Unit bathrooms are manufactured in advance in the factory for each part such as ceiling panels, wall panels, floor pans, bathtubs, etc., and these parts are assembled at the construction site such as new construction or remodeling of a building into a box shape. Is installed in.

That is, normally, after concrete is struck at a predetermined place in a building to form a foundation, a floor pan is installed on the foundation to be horizontal, and a frame is attached to the four circumferences of the floor pan, and the frame is attached. A wall panel and a door panel are fixedly installed upright, a ceiling panel is installed above it, and finally a bathtub and a washing room are installed on a floor pan to install a unit bathroom.

[0004]

When installing a unit bathroom, in order to facilitate the work of assembling each part, piping and wiring, the wall panel and the pillars or outer walls of the building or the structural panel are installed. It gives a space between them.

Therefore, the cold air containing moisture that enters from under the floor is warmed by the heat from the inside of the bathroom that propagates through the floor pans and wall panels of the unit bathroom, and the exterior wall panel of the bathroom and the building. Ascends in the space between the pillar, outer wall or structural panel. Then, when the humidity in the air is cooled, condensation occurs on the beams of the building, causing mold and corrosion.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.

That is, the present invention comprises a ceiling panel, a wall panel, a door panel, a floor pan, a bathtub, and the like, and in a unit bathroom assembled and installed in a box shape in a building, the upper peripheral edge of the floor pan is elastic. It is characterized in that a packing having is attached.

The present invention also provides a ceiling panel, a wall panel,
In the method of assembling and installing a unit bathroom consisting of door panels, floor pans, bathtubs, etc. in a box in a building, there is elasticity between the upper outer edge of the floor pan and the pillars and outer walls of the building or the structural panel. A packing having the above is provided, and the packing closes the space between the floor pan and the pillars and outer walls of the building or the building panel, thereby blocking air under the floor from flowing and moving above the floor pan. This is how to install the unit bathroom.

[0009]

1 shows an example of a unit bathroom of the present invention, 1 is a ceiling panel, 2 is a wall panel, 3 is a window panel, 4 is a floor pan, 5 is a bathtub, and 6 is a washing room. A unit bathroom composed of these is installed on a concrete-cast foundation 7 at a predetermined place inside the structure. Further, the unit bathroom is assembled and installed with a space 9 arranged between the pillar 8 and the outer wall (not shown) of the structure.

The floor pan 4 is made of waterproof FRP or the like, and is supported on the concrete foundation 7 through the support legs 10 provided on the bottom surface thereof. Support leg 10
Has an adjuster bolt 11 for height adjustment, and the floor pan 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjuster bolt 11 up and down.
The height adjustment and the horizontal adjustment are performed.

A frame (not shown) made of iron or the like is attached around the floor pan 4 thus installed with screws or the like, and a wall panel 2, a window panel 3 and a door panel (not shown) are attached to the frame. After standing and fixing, the ceiling panel 1 is connected and mounted on each of these panels to form a unit bathroom. The surface of each panel, which is the inner surface of the unit bathroom, is made of FRP, tile, PVC steel plate, artificial marble, etc., and if necessary, a backing material such as plywood such as wood board or gypsum board is attached to the back surface. It

Inside the unit bathroom, a bathtub 5 and a washing room 6 are provided adjacent to each other on a floor pan 4.
If necessary, a faucet 12, a storage shelf 13 for storing small items such as soap and shampoo, a mirror 14, a handrail 15 and the like are attached to the wall panel 2.

A packing 16 is attached to the outer peripheral edge of the upper part of the floor pan 4 to block the space 9 between the pillar 8 and the outer wall of the building so that the air from below the floor circulates and moves above the floor pan 4. Is being prevented.

For the packing 16, an elastic material such as foamed polyethylene or foamed rubber is preferably used. The elastic packing 16 can tightly close the space 9 by closely adhering to the pillar 8 and the outer wall of the structure. Further, even a material having poor elasticity such as styrofoam can be used as the packing 16 as long as it can be cut according to the shape of the space 9 to fill the space 9 without a gap.

The packing 16 can be attached to the upper outer peripheral edge of the floor pan 4 at the time of factory production. Alternatively, by providing a double-sided tape with release paper on one side of the packing 16, the packing 16 can be attached at a proper position on the outer peripheral edge of the floor pan 4 at the construction site.

As described above, the packing 16 is provided to block the space 9 between the building and the bathroom to block the air flow. However, in the case of a building by the so-called two-by-four method, a structural panel is used as a structural material. Therefore, the space 9 between the floor pan 4 of the bathroom and the structural panel has a simple rectangular cross section, and the packing 16 used has a rectangular cross section corresponding to the shape of the space 9. You may

On the other hand, in the case of the construction by the conventional method,
As shown in FIG. 1, since the pillars 8 (tube pillars or studs) and the outer walls are exposed in an uneven shape on the inner surface side of the structure, the space 9 also has an uneven shape, and the packing 16 used also has a complicated uneven shape corresponding thereto. The space 9 must be closed without any gap. Therefore, in the unit bathroom installed in the structure by the conventional construction method, the space 9
It is particularly preferable to use the packing 16 having a highly elastic material so that the packing 16 can be deformed according to the complicated shape.

[0018]

According to the present invention, the packing provided on the outer peripheral edge of the upper part of the floor pan of the unit bathroom closes the space between the pillar and the outer wall of the structure or the structural panel, and ensures the air circulation from the underfloor. Since it is shut off, dew condensation above the bathroom is prevented. Therefore, the occurrence of mold and corrosion in the structural material such as the beam is prevented, and the durability of the structural material is significantly improved.
