Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to flush toilets. Background Technology

[0002] Previously, a method was known in which a magnetic force was used to hold the panel component in a flushing toilet in order to keep the panel component in the flushing toilet (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2020-165173

[0004] Patent Document 1 describes a method of using magnets to fix the panel component to the toilet body using two pairs of magnets. The first pair of magnets is located at the rear end of the side of the toilet body and the front end of the inner side of the panel component. The second pair of magnets is located on the rear surface of the functional part, i.e., the rear surface of the flushing toilet, and the rear end of the inner side of the panel component.

[0005] However, with this method, since the holding surfaces of the toilet body and panel assembly, and the functional parts and panel assembly are not on the same plane, the panel assembly cannot slide in the front-back direction after being held in place by the toilet body. Therefore, positioning the panel assembly relative to the toilet body and functional parts is difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0006] One aspect of this embodiment aims to facilitate positioning by allowing the panel component to slide up, down, back, and forth after being held.

[0007] One embodiment of the flush toilet is characterized by comprising: a toilet body having a basin for receiving waste; a functional part disposed at the rear of the toilet body; a panel member covering the side of the functional part; a first retaining part for magnetically holding the toilet body and the side of the panel member; and a second retaining part for magnetically holding the functional part and the side of the panel member, wherein the panel member is capable of sliding forward, backward, up, and down while being held by the first retaining part and the second retaining part.

[0008] According to the structure described above, the first and second retaining parts can be formed on the same plane on the side of the flushing toilet. Therefore, while the user holds the panel component with the toilet body and functional parts in place, the panel component can be slid relative to the toilet body and functional parts and adjusted to the appropriate position. Furthermore, since position adjustment can be performed while the panel is held in place, even if the user applies excessive force to slide it, the amount of movement of the panel component can be suppressed. Additionally, even if the user's hand slips off the panel component, it can be held in place with the toilet body or functional parts. Therefore, contact between the panel component and the toilet body, functional parts, or the floor can be prevented.

[0009] In addition, the first retaining part is provided at the boundary between the toilet body and the panel component, and when the panel component is held by the first retaining part and the second retaining part, the distance that the first retaining part can hold in the vertical direction is longer than the distance that it can hold in the front-back direction.

[0010] According to the structure described above, when the installer slides the panel component relative to the toilet body while adjusting its position, the first retaining part can maintain a long distance in the vertical direction, thus improving the positioning accuracy of the panel component in the appropriate position in the vertical direction.

[0011] In addition, the second holding part is characterized in that the distance that it can hold in the front-back direction is longer than the distance that the first holding part can hold in the front-back direction.

[0012] According to the structure described above, when alignment in the front-to-back direction is first performed to eliminate the gap between the toilet body and the panel assembly, the dimensional tolerances can be absorbed even when the second retaining part, which has a large influence on the dimensional tolerances in the front-to-back direction, adheres to and holds the panel assembly and the functional parts. Therefore, the installer can suppress the positional deviation between the panel assembly and the toilet body at the boundary and install the panel assembly onto the toilet body and the functional parts.

[0013] Additionally, the second holding portion is characterized in that it has a magnet disposed on one of the panel component or the functional portion and a magnetic body disposed on the other of the panel component or the functional portion, wherein the vertical length of one of the magnets or the magnetic body is longer than the horizontal length, and the vertical length of the other of the magnets or the magnetic body is shorter than the horizontal length.

[0014] According to the structure described above, when the installer slides the panel component relative to the functional part and adjusts its position, the area where the magnet and the magnetic body can contact each other to maintain the panel component in a holding state is expanded compared to the case where the long side direction of the magnet and the long side direction of the magnetic body are set to the same direction. Therefore, even if the installer contacts the panel component with a part that is significantly deviated from its proper position, the panel component can still be held in a holding state.

[0015] In addition, it is characterized by having a holding force adjustment section, which adjusts the holding force of at least one of the toilet body and the functional part and the panel component.

[0016] Based on the structure described above, the options for usable magnets can be increased. For example, when the magnetic force of the magnet is weak, selecting a retaining force adjustment section with a higher coefficient of friction, a retaining force adjustment section made of a material with high magnetic permeability, and a retaining force adjustment section thickness can improve the adsorption and retaining force of the panel component. Furthermore, when the magnetic force of the magnet is strong, in order to reduce the adsorption and retaining force, selecting a retaining force adjustment section made of a material that reduces friction, a retaining force adjustment section made of a material with low magnetic permeability, and a retaining force adjustment section thickness, etc., can easily achieve position adjustment of the panel component through sliding.

[0017] Additionally, it is characterized by having a hygienic cleaning device disposed above the functional part, wherein the bottom surface of the hygienic cleaning device is configured to slope downward from the rear to the front, at least in the front-rear direction of the panel component, and the upper surface of the panel component is configured to slope downward from the rear to the front.

[0018] According to the structure described above, after the panel component is adjusted to the appropriate position, the gap between the panel component and the cleaning device can be reduced. Furthermore, when the panel component is slid forward relative to the toilet body and functional parts while being adjusted in position, the bottom surface of the cleaning device and the upper surface of the panel component are in contact while the position is adjusted. Therefore, the panel component is guided by the cleaning device, thereby allowing it to be easily positioned in the appropriate location.

[0019] The effects of the invention

[0020] The flushing toilet according to the present invention allows the panel component to slide up and down and back and forth after being held, thereby making positioning easy. Attached Figure Description

[0026] (First Embodiment)

[0027] Hereinafter, an outline of the flush toilet 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In addition, in the inclusion Figure 1 For ease of explanation, some diagrams show a 3D orthogonal coordinate system including the Z-axis, which is vertically upward (above) as positive. In this case, the positive direction of the X-axis is defined as left, the negative direction as right, the positive direction of the Y-axis as forward, the negative direction as backward, the positive direction of the Z-axis as upward, and the negative direction as downward. Furthermore, the X-axis direction is referred to as left-right, the Y-axis direction as front-back, and the Z-axis direction as up-down.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the flush toilet 1 has a toilet body 3, a functional part 5, a sanitary cleaning device 7, a panel part 9, and a toilet seat part 11. The toilet body 3 is made of ceramic. However, the toilet body 3 is not limited to ceramic; for example, it may be made of resin or a combination of ceramic and resin. Figure 1 This is a side view of the flush toilet 1 according to the first embodiment. Figure 2 This is a side view of the flush toilet 1 according to the first embodiment, with part of the panel component 9 omitted.

[0030] When installing the panel component 9 of the flushing toilet 1, and when adjusting the position of the panel component 9 relative to the toilet body 3, the panel component 9 is positioned relative to the toilet body 3 and the functional part 5, for example... Figure 1 As shown by the middle arrows D1 and D2, it can slide, thus making it easy to adjust its position.

[0031] The toilet body 3 has a basin (not shown) and a drain bend pipe 32.

[0032] A functional unit 5 is provided at the rear of the toilet body 3. The functional unit 5 supplies water to the basin (not shown) and the sanitary cleaning device 7 of the toilet body 3. The functional unit 5 includes a water storage tank (not shown) and a pressure pump (not shown). Regarding the water supply, the functional unit 5 pressurizes the cleaning water stored in the water storage tank by the pressure pump and sprays it out of the jet nozzle (not shown) at a large flow rate to the basin.

[0033] The sanitary cleaning device 7 is installed with its bottom surface 7a inclined downwards towards the toilet body 3. Specifically, the bottom surface 7a of the sanitary cleaning device 7 is inclined downwards as it decreases in height towards the front. The sanitary cleaning device 7 is equipped with a partial cleaning device (not shown) including a nozzle device (not shown), which sprays cleaning water towards the user's area above the basin. In addition, the sanitary cleaning device 7 is equipped with a water storage section (not shown) for storing the cleaning water supplied to the partial cleaning device, a heater (not shown) for heating the cleaning water in the water storage section to a suitable temperature to become warm water, a ventilation fan (not shown), a deodorizing fan (not shown), a warm air fan (not shown), and a control section (not shown) for controlling these components.

[0034] A panel component 9 is provided at the rear of the toilet body 3 and on the side of the functional part 5. The panel component 9 is used to prevent external obstruction to the functional part 5 or sewage intrusion.

[0035] The toilet seat 11 is located on the upper part of the toilet body 3, and is provided for the user to sit on when using the flush toilet 1. The toilet seat 11 can be opened and closed by rotating with the rear side as the fulcrum.

[0036] Like the toilet seat 11, the lid 15 is disposed on the upper part of the toilet body 3, covering the upper surface of the basin containing the toilet body 3 from above. Like the toilet seat 11, the lid 15 rotates with the rear side as a fulcrum, thereby enabling it to open and close. Furthermore, when closed, the lid 15 covers the upper surface of the toilet body 3 from above and also covers the toilet seat 11 from above.

[0037] The basin is a concave area that receives waste. A frame section (not shown) is formed on the upper edge of the basin. The frame section has a frame spray nozzle (not shown) for spraying cleaning water. The cleaning water sprayed from the frame spray nozzle flows along the upper edge of the basin, forming a swirling flow within the basin. Furthermore, a water guide channel (not shown) formed on the upstream side is connected to the frame spray nozzle, and cleaning water from a cleaning water supply device (not shown) is supplied via the water guide channel.

[0038] Next, refer to Figures 1-3 The installation of the panel component 9 and the toilet body 3 is explained. Figure 3This is a view of the panel component 9 according to the first embodiment from the inside side.

[0039] The flush toilet 1 has a first holding part 21 and a second holding part 23. The first holding part 21 holds the side of the panel component 9 and the toilet body 3 by magnetic attraction, and the second holding part 23 holds the functional part 5 and the side of the panel component 9 by magnetic attraction.

[0040] The first retaining part 21 will be described in detail. The first retaining part 21 is composed of a magnet 25 and a sheet metal part 27 that is a magnetic body attracted by magnetic force. The first retaining part 21 is provided at the boundary A between the toilet body 3 and the panel member 9. The boundary A is the part where the toilet body 3 and the panel member 9 overlap when the panel member 9 is properly provided on the toilet body 3. The boundary A is the part where, when viewed from the side, the side of the toilet body 3 changes with a gentle curvature from the front to the rear side, and more specifically, it is the part with a step that is recessed inward towards the toilet body 3.

[0041] Magnet 25 is mounted on panel component 9. Magnet 25 is, for example, bonded to panel component 9. Magnet 25 is provided at two locations on the front end side of the inner side of panel component 9, that is, near the junction of device body 3 and panel component 9. The two locations of magnet 25 are one located at the upper end and the center of panel component 9, and one located at the lower end and the center of panel component 9.

[0042] The magnet 25 is a thin cuboid. Specifically, the magnet 25 is configured such that its shorter side runs along the front-to-back direction. That is, the magnet 25 is configured such that its length in the vertical direction is longer than its length in the front-to-back direction. Furthermore, the thickness of the magnet 25 is less than the depth of the step formed at the boundary A.

[0043] Next, the sheet metal part 27 will be described. Sheet metal part 27 is mounted on the toilet body 3. Sheet metal part 27 is mounted on the side of the toilet body 3 in the boundary portion A. Sheet metal part 27 is provided in two locations in the boundary portion A of the toilet body 3. One location is located at the upper end and the center of the boundary portion A, and the other is located at the lower end and the center of the boundary portion A. Sheet metal part 27 is configured to face magnet 25 when the panel component 9 is installed in the appropriate position. In the toilet body 3, the location where sheet metal part 27 is provided is recessed inwards, and a portion of sheet metal part 27 is embedded in the recessed area, thereby fixing sheet metal part 27. Sheet metal part 27 can be adhesively bonded to the toilet body 3.

[0044] The sheet metal part 27 is a thin cuboid. The shorter side of the sheet metal part 27 is positioned along the front-to-back direction. That is, the vertical length of the sheet metal part 27 is longer than its front-to-back length. When viewed from the side, the front-to-back length of the toilet body 3 is less than or equal to the front-to-back length of the boundary portion A. The vertical length of the sheet metal part 27 is approximately equal to the vertical length of the magnet 25. Alternatively, the sheet metal part 27 can also be constructed as a single plate that is longer vertically than vertically.

[0045] The first retaining part 21, namely the magnet 25 and the sheet metal part 27, is formed in a shape that is longer in the vertical direction than in the front-back direction. Therefore, at the location where the panel component 9 is held by the first retaining part 21, the vertical sliding distance of the panel component 9 is greater than the front-back sliding distance of the panel component 9 relative to the toilet body 3. The location where the panel component 9 is held by the first retaining part 21 is near the boundary between the toilet body 3 and the panel component 9, and the gap between the toilet body 3 and the panel component 9 in the front-back direction at the boundary is set as small as possible considering hygiene and aesthetic design. When the installer holds the panel component 9 by the first retaining part 21, they first perform front-back alignment to initially eliminate the gap between the toilet body 3 and the panel component 9. At this time, the boundary between the toilet body 3 and the panel component 9 is visually guided to the appropriate position of the panel component 9 in the front-back direction, thus allowing for smooth front-back alignment. After aligning the panel component 9 in the front-to-back direction, its position is adjusted in the vertical direction. Therefore, the area that can be held by the first holding part 21 is preferably larger in the vertical direction. Thus, the magnet 25 and the sheet metal part 27 are formed in a shape that is longer in the vertical direction than in the front-to-back direction. Therefore, the installer can easily move the panel component 9 to the appropriate position, and the positioning accuracy of the panel component 9 to the appropriate position can be improved.

[0046] The second retaining part 23 will be described in detail. The second retaining part 23 is composed of a magnet 29 and a sheet metal part 31 that is a magnetic body attracted by magnetic force. When the panel member 9 is properly provided on the toilet body 3, the second retaining part 23 is located in the upper region of the panel member 9.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, magnet 29 is mounted on panel component 9. Magnet 29 is, for example, adhered to panel component 9. Magnet 29 is positioned on the upper end side of the inner surface of panel component 9 and behind panel component 9. Magnet 29 is a thin cuboid. Magnet 25 is formed with a transversely elongated shape, its length in the front-to-back direction being longer than its length in the vertical direction.

[0048] Next, the sheet metal part 31 will be described. The sheet metal part 31 is mounted on the side of the functional part 5. The sheet metal part 31 is, for example, glued to the functional part 5. The sheet metal part 31 is formed in a longitudinal shape where its vertical length is longer than its front-to-back length. When the toilet body 3 is viewed from the side, the magnet 29 and the sheet metal part 31 form a cross shape. Furthermore, the length relationship between the magnet 29 and the sheet metal part 31 can also be reversed. That is, the magnet 29 can be formed in a longitudinal shape where its vertical length is longer than its front-to-back length, and the sheet metal part 31 can be formed in a transverse shape where its front-to-back length is longer than its vertical length.

[0049] Therefore, when the installer slides the panel component 9 relative to the functional part 5 and adjusts its position, the area where the magnet 29 and the sheet metal part 31 can contact each other to maintain the holding state of the panel component 9 is expanded compared to the case where the long side directions of the magnet 29 and the sheet metal part 31 are set to be the same. Thus, even if the installer contacts the panel component 9 with a part that is significantly deviated from the proper position, the panel component 9 can still be held in its holding state.

[0050] The distance that the second retaining part 23 can hold in the front-back direction is longer than the distance that the first retaining part 21 can hold in the front-back direction. According to the structure described above, when the front-back direction is aligned first to eliminate the gap between the toilet body 3 and the panel component 9, even if the second retaining part 23, which has a large influence on the dimensional tolerance in the front-back direction, holds the panel component 9 and the functional part 5, the dimensional tolerance can be absorbed. Therefore, the installer can suppress the positional deviation between the panel component 9 and the toilet body 3 at the boundary A and install the panel component 9 on the toilet body 3 and the functional part 5. The reason why the second retaining part 23 is easily affected by dimensional tolerance is that the sheet metal part 31 of the second retaining part 23 is provided in part of the functional part 5 that is continuously arranged with the ceramic drain bend pipe 32. Therefore, the installation position of the sheet metal part 31 is the part where the manufacturing error associated with the ceramic manufacturing from the front end of the toilet body 3 to the drain bend pipe 32 occurs.

[0051] Furthermore, the quantity and arrangement of magnets 25 and 29 and sheet metal parts 27 and 31 are not limited to these, and can be appropriately varied depending on the strength of the magnetic force and the weight of the panel component 9. Additionally, the length of sheet metal parts 27 and 31 is not limited to these, and their shape and quantity are irrelevant if they are positioned where magnets 25 and 29 are installed when the panel component 9 is properly mounted on the toilet body 3. Alternatively, magnets 25 and 29 can be provided on the toilet body 3, or magnetic materials, i.e., sheet metal parts 27 and 31, can be provided on the panel component 9. Furthermore, magnets can be used as alternatives to magnetic materials, i.e., sheet metal parts 27 and 31.

[0052] The process of installing the panel component 9 onto the toilet body 3 is explained. First, the installer assembles the panel component 9 with the magnet 25 relative to the sheet metal part 27 at the boundary A in a proper front-to-back direction. The reason for aligning the panel component 9 at the boundary A in the front-to-back direction first is that the toilet body 3 at the boundary A is covered by the panel component 9 and is not visible to the user, thus appearing as a continuous formation of the toilet body 3 and the panel component 9. Therefore, to ensure aesthetic design, it is desirable to reliably cover the important boundary A of the toilet body 3. Next, the panel component 9 is slid vertically relative to the toilet body 3 to align the vertical direction of the panel component 9 with the toilet body 3. At this time, the position is adjusted so that the upper surface of the panel component 9 and the upper surface of the toilet body 3 appear as a line when viewed from the side.

[0053] The first retaining part 21 and the second retaining part 23 are provided on the side of the flushing toilet 1. Therefore, the installer can slide the panel member 9 relative to the toilet body 3 while holding the panel member 9 and the toilet body 3, and while holding the panel member 9 and the functional part 5, and adjust the position of the panel member 9 to the appropriate position. Since the panel member 9 can be adjusted while being held, even if the installer applies excessive force to slide it, the amount of movement of the panel member 9 can be suppressed. Furthermore, even if the installer's hand slips off the panel member 9, the panel member 9 can be held in place on the toilet body 3 or the functional part 5. Therefore, contact between the panel member 9 and the toilet body 3, the functional part 5, or the ground can be prevented.

[0054] (Second Implementation)

[0055] Next, the flushing toilet 1 according to the second embodiment will be described. Descriptions of structures identical to those in the first embodiment will be omitted. The flushing toilet 1 is as follows... Figure 4 As shown, it has a holding force adjustment part 33. Figure 4 This is an explanatory diagram showing the retaining force adjustment part 33 of the flush toilet 1 according to the second embodiment.

[0056] A retaining force adjustment part 33 is provided in at least one of the first retaining part 21 and the second retaining part 23. The retaining force adjustment part 33 adjusts the retaining force of at least one of the toilet body 3 and the functional part 5 and the panel member 9. Here, an example of the magnet 29 in which the retaining force adjustment part 33 is provided in the second retaining part 23 will be described.

[0057] The holding force adjustment unit 33 adjusts the magnetic force of the second holding unit 23. The holding force adjustment unit 33 is, for example, a thin film.

[0058] For example, when the magnetic force of magnet 29 is weak, a retaining force adjustment part 33 with a larger coefficient of friction, a retaining force adjustment part 33 made of a material with high magnetic permeability, or a thicker retaining force adjustment part 33 can be selected to prevent the panel component 9 from peeling off from the toilet body 3 and the functional part 5. Conversely, when the magnetic force of magnets 25 and 29 is strong and a large force is required to slide the panel component 9, a retaining force adjustment part 33 with a smaller coefficient of friction, a retaining force adjustment part 33 made of a material with low magnetic permeability, or a thinner retaining force adjustment part 33 can be selected to reduce the retaining force, thereby facilitating position adjustment performed by sliding.

[0059] Furthermore, the holding force adjustment part 33 is not limited to the shape of a thin film; it can also be integrally provided with the magnet 29, or it can be a surface-treated part of the magnet 29. Additionally, the holding force adjustment part 33 can also be provided on the sheet metal part 31. Furthermore, the holding force adjustment part 33 can also be provided on the first holding part 21 using the same method as the second holding part 23.

[0060] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, the upper surface 9a of the panel component 9 can be lowered and tilted in a manner that the height decreases as it faces forward. Figure 5 This is a side view showing the relationship between the sanitary cleaning device 7 and the panel component 9 of the toilet 1 involved in the modified example. Specifically, the upper surface 9a of the panel component 9 can be lowered at approximately the same angle as the downward tilt of the bottom surface 7a of the sanitary cleaning device 7. As a result, the gap between the panel component 9 and the sanitary cleaning device 7 can be reduced after the panel component 9 is assembled. In addition, when the panel component 9 is slid forward relative to the toilet body 3 and the functional part 5 and its position is adjusted, the bottom surface 7a of the sanitary cleaning device 7 and the upper surface 9a of the panel component 9 are in contact while the position is adjusted. Therefore, the panel component 9 is guided by the sanitary cleaning device 7, thereby making it easy to position the panel component 9 in the appropriate position.

[0061] Next, the modified flush toilet 1 will be described. Descriptions of structures identical to those in the first embodiment will be omitted. In the first embodiment, when the panel member 9 is appropriately provided on the toilet body 3, the second retaining part 23 is located in the upper region of the panel member 9, the sheet metal part 31 is disposed on the functional part 5, and the magnet 29 is disposed at one point on the upper end side of the inner side of the panel member 9 and behind the panel member 9.

[0062] In the modified flush toilet 1, the second retaining part (not shown) is disposed at the rear of the first retaining part (not shown) on the toilet body (not shown) in the first embodiment or at a portion extending from the toilet body in the first embodiment.

[0063] For example, the toilet body extends from the boundary portion (not shown) to the rear end of the panel component in the upper region of the panel component. The sheet metal part (not shown) of the second retaining portion (not shown) may be disposed in the upper region at the position extending from the boundary portion of the toilet body to the rear end of the panel component (the position where the functional portion 5 is disposed in the first embodiment).

[0064] Additionally, for example, the toilet body extends from the drain trap (not shown) to a first retaining portion in the central region of the panel component. A sheet metal part for a second retaining portion may be positioned at the location extending from the drain trap to the first retaining portion in the left-right direction.

[0065] Additionally, for example, the toilet body extends from the boundary portion to the rear end of the panel member in the lower region. The sheet metal part of the second retaining part may be disposed in the lower region at the portion extending from the boundary portion of the toilet body to the rear end of the panel member. That is, as in the first embodiment, it is not necessarily limited to mounting the sheet metal part on the functional part (not shown).

[0066] Furthermore, even if the structure of the first retaining part (not shown) of the modified toilet 1 is applied to the structure of the second retaining part (not shown), and the structure of the second retaining part is applied to the structure of the first retaining part, the position can be easily adjusted by making it slidable, as in the embodiment described above.

[0067] Further effects and variations can be readily derived by those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific details and representative embodiments described above. Thus, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the comprehensive concept of the invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
