It is done. The flow changing part 50 is a part of the wall part 52 that separates the internal space of the toilet bowl part 14 from the right water passage 32-R. The flow changing unit 50 is for changing the flow direction to the direction toward the concave portion 24 of the stool part 14 by colliding the wash water discharged from the third water discharge port 30-C.

In the water discharge unit 20 of the flush toilet 10 described above, the first water discharge amount of the first water discharge port 30-A is the largest, the water discharge amount of the third water discharge port 30-C is the second largest, and the second water discharge port 30. -B is configured so that the amount of cleaning water discharged is minimized. That is, the cleaning water discharge amount decreases in the order of the first water outlet 30-A, the third water outlet 30-C, and the second water outlet 30-B. The ratio of the cleaning water discharge amount of each water outlet 30 in this embodiment is, for example, 40:27:33. The cleaning water discharge amount here refers to the flow rate (L / s) of cleaning water per unit time passing through the water outlet 30.

In order to satisfy the magnitude relationship of the amount of washing water discharged from each water outlet 30 as described above, the water outlet 20 of the present embodiment is configured as follows. Consider a water flow path from the inflow position of wash water to each water discharge port 30 to each water flow path 32 from the wash water supply device. There are water passages corresponding to each of the first water outlet 30-A to the third water outlet 30-C. The amount of washing water discharged from the water outlet is proportional to the passage cross-sectional area of a portion (hereinafter referred to as a flow rate setting unit) having the smallest passage cross-sectional area in the water flow path for supplying cleaning water to the water outlet. In the present embodiment, the flow rate setting unit of the first water outlet 30-A is the first water outlet 30-A itself at the downstream end of the water flow path of the first water outlet 30-A. The flow rate setting unit of the second water discharge port 30-B is also the second water discharge port 30-B itself, and the flow rate setting unit of the third water discharge port 30-C is also the third water discharge port 30-C itself. In the water discharger 20, the passage cross-sectional area of the flow rate setting part of the first water discharge port 30-A is the largest, the passage cross-sectional area of the third water discharge port 30-C is the next largest, and the second water discharge port 30-B is the smallest. It is comprised so that it may become. The passage cross-sectional area here means a cross-sectional area in a cross section orthogonal to the water flow direction. Thereby, the magnitude relationship of each washing water discharge amount of each spout 30 as mentioned above can be satisfy | filled.

Next, the washing | cleaning method of the toilet bowl part 14 using the above flush toilet 10 is demonstrated.
The flush toilet 10 wash | cleans the inside of the toilet bowl part 14 with what is called a wash-off-type washing | cleaning system which pours the waste in the toilet bowl part 14 in the drainage channel part 16 using the drop of water. By operating the operation members such as a switch and a lever for starting the supply of the cleaning water, the cleaning water within a predetermined flow range is supplied from the cleaning water supply device. Hereinafter, the operation from the start to the end of the supply of cleaning water within a predetermined flow rate range will be described as a single cleaning operation.

The washing water is supplied from the washing water supply device to each of the right water passage 32-R and the left water passage 32-L. In the right water passage 32-R, the cleaning water supplied from the cleaning water supply device flows so as to be guided to the first water discharge port 30-A. In the left water passage 32 -L, a part of the cleaning water supplied from the cleaning water supply device flows so as to be guided to the second water discharge port 30 -B via the extending portion 38 and the turn-back portion 40, and The part flows so as to be guided to the third water outlet 30-C via the branch part. As a result, the wash water flowing through each of the water passages 32 is discharged from each water outlet 30.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating how the wash water flows in the toilet bowl 14. In this figure, the flow of washing water in the toilet bowl 14 is shown with an arrow.
The wash water discharged from each of the first water outlet 30-A to the third water outlet 30-C is along each of the first rim water conduit 44-A to the third rim water conduit 44-C corresponding to itself. Flows Fa to Fc swirling counterclockwise are formed. The wash water flowing along each of the first rim conduit 44-A to the third rim conduit 44-C gradually flows down from the shelf 46 of each rim conduit 44 to the receiving surface 22 and below the receiving surface 22. Flows Fd and Fe that swirl toward the surface are formed. In this manner, the water discharger 20 discharges the wash water from the water discharge ports 30-A to 30-C into the toilet bowl 14, and thereby flows Fa to Fe swirling counterclockwise in the toilet bowl 14. Form. The flows Fa to Fe are water flows for cleaning the inner peripheral surface of the toilet bowl 14, specifically, the inner peripheral surface of the rim portion 18 and the inner peripheral surface of the receiving surface portion 22.

Here, on the inner peripheral surface of the toilet bowl portion 14, a large curvature portion 22a is provided on the left and right center line La on the front side with respect to the concave portion 24. The large curvature portion 22a is usually a portion having a larger curvature than the other portions connected to the left and right of the toilet bowl portion 14 in plan view. The flow Fa formed by the wash water discharged from the first water discharge port 30-A passes through the large curvature portion 22a, and the velocity component in the circumferential direction of the toilet bowl portion 14 is weakened. A flow Fg that flows intensively is formed. This flow Fg becomes a main flow Fg (water bundle) having a larger flow rate than other flows in the vicinity thereof, and flows from the front side of the toilet bowl 14 toward the rear side. Further, the main flow Fg flows into the recess 24 from the diagonally front side with respect to the recess 24. The filth in the recess 24 of the toilet bowl 14 is drained by using the drop of the wash water flowing through the receiving surface 22 and the rim conduit 44 of the toilet bowl 14, in particular, the wash water drop contained in this mainstream Fg. The part 16 is swept away from the inlet 16a.

The washing water discharged from the third water discharge port 30-C changes the flow direction after colliding with the flow changing unit 50 via the third rim conduit 44-C, and moves forward from the rear side toward the inside of the recess 24. A flow Fh toward the side is formed. This flow Fh does not pass through the large curvature portion 22a of the toilet bowl 14, and is easy to flow into the recess 24 with the strong water discharged from the third water outlet 30-C. This strong water flow Fh flows in the drainage passage 16 from the inlet 16a after changing the flow direction so as to be folded back from the front to the rear in the recess 24. At this time, by joining with the main flow Fg formed by the wash water discharged from the first water discharge port 30-A, the flow of water flowing from the inlet 16a into the drainage passage portion 16 is increased, and the waste discharge capability is effectively enhanced. It is done. Although not shown, a part of the washing water discharged from the third water outlet 30-C flows from the rear side to the front side on the right side of the recess 24, and then the large curvature of the toilet bowl portion 14 is obtained. After passing through the portion 22a, it joins the above-mentioned mainstream Fg on the receiving surface portion 22 of the toilet bowl portion 14, and also has a role of increasing the water force.

The effect of the flush toilet 10 will be described.
(A) The first water outlet 30-A of the present embodiment is provided in the first divided region Sr1. Therefore, the wash water discharged from the first water outlet 30-A passes through the large curvature portion 22a of the stool part 14, and thereby the velocity component in the circumferential direction of the stool part 14 is weakened. End up. Under this influence, the wash water discharged from the first water discharge port 30-A is difficult to reach the receiving surface portion 22 and the rim water conduit 44 of the fourth divided region Sr4. As a countermeasure against this, in the flush toilet 10 of the present embodiment, the second spout 30-B is provided in the third divided region Sr3. As a result, a sufficient amount of washing water can easily reach the fourth divided region Sr4 where the washing water discharged from the first water outlet 30-A is difficult to reach, and a good toilet bowl washing ability can be obtained.

In particular, in order to obtain such an effect, it is not necessary to increase the total amount of washing water used for one toilet flushing, so that it is possible to prevent the washing water from jumping to the outside due to the increase in the total amount of washing water. There is an advantage that toilet bowl washing ability can be obtained.

Further, the water discharger 20 is configured such that the cleaning water discharge amount of the first water discharge port 30-A is larger than the cleaning water discharge amount of the second water discharge port 30-B. Therefore, the size of the left water passage 32-L formed inside the rim portion 18 for supplying the washing water to the second water discharge port 30-B can be reduced, and the width of the rim portion 18 can be reduced without increasing the width. There is also an advantage that the pot cleaning ability can be enhanced.

Note that, as described above, the waste discharge performance is ensured by the mainstream Fg formed by the wash water discharged from the first water outlet 30-A. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure the amount of cleaning water so much when cleaning the fourth divided region Sr4, and the amount of cleaning water discharged from the second water discharge port 30-B does not have a great influence on at least the waste discharge performance.

(B) Further, the water outlet of the present embodiment includes a third water outlet 30-C provided in the fourth divided region Sr4. Therefore, the first discharge at a position farther from the second discharge port 30-B in the counterclockwise direction within the toilet bowl 14 without increasing the discharge amount of the wash water discharged from the second discharge port 30-B. It becomes easy for the washing water to reach the vicinity of the water inlet 30-A. For this reason, it becomes easy to wash a wide range of the toilet bowl portion 14 while suppressing the amount of washing water discharged from the second water outlet 30-B.

Further, the cleaning water discharged from the third water outlet 30-C provided in the fourth divided region Sr4 merges with the cleaning water discharged from the first water outlet 30-A in the recess 24 and on the receiving surface portion 22. , Has the role of increasing the mainstream Fg water which contributes to the waste discharge capacity. The water discharge unit 20 of the present embodiment is configured such that the wash water discharge amount of the third water discharge port 30-C is equal to or greater than the wash water discharge amount of the second water discharge port 30-B. By strengthening effectively, the waste discharge capacity can be effectively increased.

Also, a right side water passage 32-R for supplying cleaning water to the first water outlet 30-A and a left side water passage 32-L for supplying cleaning water to the second water outlet 30-B include a rim. The layout is provided separately for the right portion 18-R and the left portion 18-L of the portion 18. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the width of the rim portion 18 as compared to providing them on one side portion of the rim portion 18.

Here, according to the present embodiment, the radius of curvature of the terminal end portion 54 of the first rim conduit 44-A and the start portion 56 of the second rim conduit 44-B satisfies the above-described relationship. Therefore, when the cleaning water is separated from the terminal position 54a on the inner peripheral surface of the first rim conduit 44-A after flowing along the first rim conduit 44-A than when the radii of curvature are the same. It becomes easy to direct the flow direction of the cleaning water toward the recess 24. This means that it becomes easier to direct the flow direction of the washing water toward the center point Cp side of the toilet bowl portion 14 when viewed from the end position 54a of the first rim conduit 44-A. As a result, the filth discharge performance can be effectively enhanced by increasing the amount of cleaning water contained in the main flow Fg flowing intensively into the recess 24.

Also, let C be the radius of curvature in plan view of the inner peripheral surface of the front end portion 53 of the first rim conduit 44-A. At this time, the terminal portion 54 of the first rim conduit 44-A is formed such that the radius of curvature of the inner peripheral surface in plan view is smaller than the front end 53 of the first rim conduit 44-A. This means that the radius of curvature A of the end portion 54 of the first rim conduit 44-A is smaller than the radius of curvature C of the front end 53 of the first rim conduit 44-A. The curvature radius C is, for example, not less than 80 mm and not more than 120 mm.

Accordingly, the cleaning water is separated from the terminal position 54a on the inner peripheral surface of the first rim conduit 44-A after flowing along the first rim conduit 44-A than when the radii of curvature are the same. It becomes easy to direct the flow direction of the cleaning water to the concave portion 24. As a result, the filth discharge performance can be effectively enhanced by increasing the amount of cleaning water contained in the main flow Fg flowing intensively into the recess 24.
