Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To supply and branch water simply without using a special tool and without requiring skill by integrally constituting a feed-water branch connecting section to a part of a piping section having flexibility and manufacturing a branch feed pipe. SOLUTION: When a flushing toilet-seat unit 6 is installed to an existing stool, a feed pipe connecting an existing aqueduct stop cock 1 and a low tank 2 is removed first, and exchanged with a branch feed pipe 3, and the aqueduct stop cock 1 and the low tank 2 are Joined. The branch feed pipe 3 is formed in constitution, in which a metallic pipe such as copper, stainless steel or the like given flexibility by shaping the surface of a piping section in a bellow shape is used and feed-water branch connecting sections 4 are amounted integrally to feed-water connecting sections at both ends of the metallic pipe by a method such as brazing, welding or the like, at that time. Water-supply branching from the aqueduct stop cock 1 to the flushing toilet-seat unit 6 are completed by joining the feed-water branch connecting sections 4 and the water-supply port 7 of the flushing toilet-seat unit 6 by a feed-water connecting pipe 5. Accordingly, water-supply branching are conducted simply without requiring skill.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sanitary washing device used in a toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a conventional sanitary washing apparatus requires installation of a flush toilet seat unit 6 on an existing toilet bowl, as shown in FIG. The water supply pipe 30 connecting to the low tank 2 is removed, and a part thereof is cut off as shown in FIG.
(C) As shown in (e), the water supply branch cheese 40 is inserted and the water stop cock 1 and the low tank 2 of the toilet bowl are again connected, and the water supply branch cheese 40 and the flush toilet seat installed on the toilet bowl are connected. The unit 6 was connected by the connecting pipe 5.

[0003]

However, in the conventional configuration, when the water supply branching cheese 40 is attached,
Since the existing water supply pipe 30 has to be cut, a special tool such as a pipe cutter is required, and if the work of cutting the water supply pipe 30 fails, the work cannot be restored. In addition, even when moving home, the water supply pipe 30 is cut, which makes restoration difficult, so that there is a problem that it is difficult for the rented house to use the sanitary washing device.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is to provide a branch water supply pipe by integrally forming a water supply branch connection part with a part of a flexible pipe part.

[0005] According to the invention, the existing water supply pipe is removed and replaced with the branch water supply pipe of the present invention, so that the difference in length from the existing water supply pipe can be flexibly absorbed, so that the cleaning toilet seat unit can be easily connected. Water supply branching can be performed. Further, restoration at the time of moving home or the like can be easily performed.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention relates to a water supply connection part in which one end of a flexible pipe part is connected to a tap water stopcock and the other end is connected to a low tank. A branch water supply pipe composed of a water supply branch connection part provided integrally with a part, a flush toilet seat unit installed on a toilet, and a water supply connection pipe connecting the water supply branch connection part and a water supply port of the flush toilet seat unit This is a configuration including:

[0007] When mounting the flush toilet seat unit, it is possible to flexibly absorb variations in the positions of the water stopcock and the low tank, and to perform a water supply branching operation to the flush toilet seat unit without using a special tool. It can be performed easily without skill.

The water supply branch connection is provided integrally with the water supply connection provided at the end of the pipe.

[0009] By connecting the water stop cock or the low tank of the toilet, the position of the water supply branch connection is reliably maintained, the connection work with the water supply connection pipe can be reliably performed without fear of water leakage, and the number of components can be reduced. Cost can be reduced.

An embodiment of the sanitary washing device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The same parts as those of the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sanitary washing apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a water supply connection pipe 5 is connected to a water supply branch connection portion 4 of a branch water supply pipe 3 connected to a tap water stopcock 1 and a low tank 2, and water is supplied to a flush toilet seat unit 6 installed on a toilet. Connected.

Next, the operation will be described. When installing the flush toilet seat unit 4 on an existing toilet, first, as shown in FIG. 6B, the water supply pipe 30 connecting the existing water stop cock 1 and the low tank 2 is removed, and branching as shown in FIG. Replace with water supply pipe 3 and connect water supply stopcock 1 and low tank 2.

Next, by connecting the water supply branch connection part 4 and the water supply port 7 of the flush toilet seat unit 6 with the water supply connection pipe 5,
The water supply branch from the water stopcock 1 to the flush toilet seat unit 6 is completed.

As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the branch water supply pipe 3 is a flexible metal pipe made of copper or stainless steel by forming the pipe section 31 into a bellows-like surface, and The water supply branch connection part 4 is integrally provided to the water supply connection parts 32 at both ends by a method such as brazing or welding. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), a base 35 integrally provided with a water supply branch connection 4 is inserted into an end of a pipe section 31 made of a rubber or resin pipe, and a caulking fitting 36 is used. Because of the crimped and crimped configuration, it is not necessary to cut the water supply pipe 30 and insert the branch connection part 41 as in the related art, even if the water stopcock 1 and the low tank 2 vary in position depending on the site. The connection can be made easily by bending and shaping.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which the water supply branch connection part 4 is provided in the water supply connection part 32 on the low tank 2 side. The water supply branch connection part 4 is directed to the tap water stopcock 1 side or the low tank 2 side of the toilet bowl. By changing the mounting direction, the slack of the connecting pipe can be absorbed in two stages.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, the following effects can be obtained by the sanitary washing device of the present invention.

[0018] By forming a branch water supply pipe by integrally forming a water supply branch connection part in a part of the pipe section, a special tool can be provided by removing the existing water supply pipe and replacing it with the branch water supply pipe of the present invention. Water supply branching can be performed easily without using and without skill. Further, restoration at the time of moving home or the like can be easily performed.

In addition, by making the piping portion flexible, the difference in length from the existing water supply pipe can be flexibly absorbed, and the water supply piping work can be easily performed.

Further, by providing the water supply branch connection part integrally with the water supply connection part, the water supply stopcock or the low tank of the toilet can be connected, and the position of the water supply branch connection part can be reliably maintained, and the connection with the water supply connection pipe can be established. Work can be reliably performed without fear of water leakage, and costs can be reduced by reducing the number of components.
