[0024] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0025] In some of the drawings, a part of detailed reference numerals labeled in other drawings is omitted.

[0026] In the following embodiment, directions such as the upward and downward directions are described with reference to a state in which an example of the toilet device of the present embodiment is installed. In addition, with reference to a user facing the installed toilet device in a standing use state, the near front side is set as the front, the opposite side thereof is set as the back (the inside), and in addition, a direction orthogonal to the depth direction (the front and back direction) and the upward and downward direction of the toilet is described as the width direction of the toilet.

[0027] Figures 1-10 is a drawing schematically showing an example of a toilet device of the present embodiment and a modification example, and an example of a construction order of a setting method of the toilet device.

[0028] As shown in Figure 5 , the toilet device 1 of the present embodiment is provided with a toilet main body 10 having a toilet bowl portion 11. As shown in Figure 2 , the toilet device 1 is provided with a base 20 that supports the toilet main body 10 placed and fixed on the upper end side, and is fixed to the floor 2. The depth dimension D2 of the base 20 is smaller than the depth dimension Dl of the toilet main body 10, so that a space is formed between the front side bottom surface 12c of the toilet main body 10 and the floor 2. If such a structure is adopted, since a space is formed between the front side bottom surface 12c of the toilet main body 10 and the floor 2, the toilet main body 10 can be provided in a floating appearance, or can be said to be provided in a floating body shape. In addition, since the toilet main body 10 can be placed and fixed to the base 20, the toilet device 1 can be provided regardless of the strength of the wall 3, and it is not necessary to fix a receiving portion or the like on the wall 3 side in a state of holding the toilet main body 10, and the construction property can be improved.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 (b), in the present embodiment, the width dimension W2 of the base 20 is smaller than the width dimension Wl of the toilet main body 10, so that a space is formed between the bottom surfaces (side bottom surfaces) 12d, 12d on both sides in the width direction of the toilet main body 10 and the floor 2. If such a structure is adopted, even in the case of being observed from the oblique front upper side on the width direction side rather than from the straight front upper side, the base 20 can be made less conspicuous, and the appearance of the floating body shape can be further presented.

[0030] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 (a), (b), and Figure 2 , the toilet device 1 is a sitting type (so-called Western type).

[0031] The toilet body 10 is provided with a toilet lid 14 for opening and closing the opening of the toilet bowl 11. The toilet bowl 11 is formed in a bowl shape with an opening facing upward. In addition, the toilet body 10 is provided with a suitable toilet seat placed on the upper peripheral edge of the toilet bowl 11. The toilet seat and toilet lid 14 can also be raised and lowered freely (rotatable) around their respective axes provided on the rear end side of the toilet body 10. The toilet body 10 can also be provided with a toilet seat drive unit for raising and lowering the toilet seat, a toilet lid drive unit for opening and closing the toilet lid 14, etc. In addition, the toilet body 10 can also be provided with various functional devices and mechanical components such as a sterilizing water supply device for supplying sterilizing water such as ozone water and hypochlorous acid water into the toilet bowl 11, a deodorizing device for deodorizing the toilet bowl 11, a heating device for heating the toilet seat, and a local cleaning device for cleaning the local area. The toilet device 1 may also be provided with various sensors such as a human detection sensor and a seat occupancy sensor, or may be provided with a remote control device as an operating unit for operating the above-mentioned various functional devices, a transceiver device capable of transmitting and receiving various signals of the remote control device, etc.

[0032] The toilet apparatus 1 is provided with a water supply mechanism connected to a water supply pipe such as a water pipe, a drainage mechanism connected to a drainage pipe (floor drain pipe) 4 on the floor 2 side, and the like.

[0033] The water supply mechanism is configured to supply flushing water to the toilet bowl 11 via a flushing water supply pipe connected to the water supply pipe. Such a water supply mechanism may also be configured to supply flushing water along the groove portion of the rim portion, thereby flushing the toilet bowl 11. The rim portion is provided so as to protrude radially inward in a manner extending circumferentially at the upper end peripheral portion of the toilet bowl 11 and forming a groove portion on the lower side. The flushing water supply pipe may also be provided with an appropriate water supply valve or the like for opening and closing the flushing water supply pipe to supply or cut off flushing water. In the illustration, an example of a so-called tankless type toilet device 1 without a flushing water tank (low-level water tank) is shown, but a structure with a flushing water tank may also be provided.

[0034] In this embodiment, the drainage mechanism is a so-called mechanical drainage mechanism, which is configured to drive a tubular water return bend 11a (see FIG. 11 ) connected to a drainage port provided at the bottom of the toilet bowl 11 through a water return bend driving unit. Figure 6 (c) and Figure 8 The toilet body 10 is provided with a return bend housing 15 that houses the cylindrical return bend 11a. A drain port 16 is provided on the lower side plate of the return bend housing 15, which drains downward toward the floor drain pipe 4. The drainage mechanism is not limited to this structure; other drainage mechanisms, such as siphon, jet siphon, vortex siphon, new vortex, and direct flush, may also be employed.

[0035] Further, the toilet device 1 is provided with a cleaning operation section that operates the water supply mechanism to supply cleaning water to the toilet bowl section 11. As such a cleaning operation section, it is not limited to an operation button, lever, or the like provided in a remote control device, and various sensors such as a human body detection sensor and a seating sensor can be used as the cleaning operation section to detect whether or not an operation is detected. If the cleaning operation of the water supply mechanism is performed, cleaning water is supplied along the rim section of the toilet bowl section 11, and the inner surface of the toilet bowl section 11 is cleaned.

[0036] As shown in (a), (b), and (c) of FIG. 10, the skirt section 12 is provided to the toilet main body 10 in a manner so as to surround the periphery of the toilet bowl section 11. Figure 1 As shown in (a), (b), and (c) of FIG. 10, the skirt section 12 is provided to the toilet main body 10 in a manner so as to surround the periphery of the toilet bowl section 11. Figure 2 As shown in (a), (b), and (c) of FIG. 10, the skirt section 12 is provided to the toilet main body 10 in a manner so as to surround the periphery of the toilet bowl section 11. Figure 4 As shown in (a), (b), and (c) of FIG. 10, the skirt section 12 is provided to the toilet main body 10 in a manner so as to surround the periphery of the toilet bowl section 11. The rear end side portions of the width direction both sides or the width direction one side of the skirt section 12 can also be attached and detached with respect to the toilet main body 10. Maintenance of various mechanisms within the toilet main body 10 and the like can be performed by detaching the rear end side portions of the skirt section 12 from the toilet main body 10.

[0037] The front side surface of the skirt section 12 toward the front side constitutes the front side surface 12a of the toilet main body 10, and the side surfaces toward the width direction outer sides of both sides constitute the width direction side surfaces 12b, 12b of the width direction both sides of the toilet main body 10.

[0038] The front side surface 12a is formed in a protruding curved surface shape that curves in a manner so as to become the rear side as it goes toward the width direction outer side when viewed in plan, and the width direction both sides thereof are connected to the width direction side surfaces 12b, 12b of the width direction both sides. Further, the front side surface 12a is formed in an inclined surface shape that becomes the rear side as it goes toward the lower side. In the drawing, the front side surface 12a is a protruding curved surface shape when viewed in side view.

[0039] The width direction side surfaces 12b, 12b are formed in an inclined surface shape that inclines in a manner so as to become the width direction central side as it goes toward the lower side.

[0040] The front side bottom surface 12c of the toilet main body 10 is formed to face the floor 2 side that is the lower side. The front side bottom surface 12c is provided in a manner so as to be connected to the lower end side of the front side surface 12a. In the drawing, an example is shown in which the front side portion of the front side bottom surface 12c is a protruding curved surface shape, and the rear side portion is a substantially horizontal surface shape that faces the substantially directly downward direction, but the entire front side bottom surface 12c can be a substantially horizontal surface shape or a protruding curved surface shape as a whole.

[0041] The side bottom surfaces 12d, 12d on both width direction sides of the toilet body 10 are formed to face the floor 2 side as the lower side. These side bottom surfaces 12d, 12d are formed to be continuous with the width direction both sides of the front side bottom surface 12c. These side bottom surfaces 12d, 12d and the front side bottom surface 12c are formed to be substantially the same height as each other.

[0042] In addition, these side bottom surfaces 12d, 12d are provided in a manner to be continuous with the lower end sides of the width direction side surfaces 12b, 12b. In the drawing, an example is shown in which the width direction outer side portions of these side bottom surfaces 12d, 12d are made into a convex curved surface shape, and the width direction central side portions are made into a substantially horizontal surface shape facing the substantially downward direction, but the side bottom surfaces 12d, 12d can be made into a substantially horizontal surface shape as a whole, or a convex curved surface shape as a whole.

[0043] The toilet body 10 can be substantially the entire ceramic, but in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 9 , a toilet bowl portion 11, a skirt portion 12, and the like made of synthetic resin such as acrylic resin are included, and a main body frame 17 made of metal that holds various mechanism portions and the like is provided. In addition, in Figure 9 (b), the illustration of each portion other than the main body frame 17 in the toilet body 10 (10C) is omitted.

[0044] The pedestal 20 is disposed between the toilet body 10 and the floor 2 in a manner to float the toilet body 10 from the floor 2.

[0045] In the present embodiment, the front side surface 21a of the pedestal 20 is formed to be an inclined surface that becomes the rear side as it faces the lower side. With this structure, it is possible to make the portion that supports the bottom surface side of the toilet body 10 larger toward the front side, and it is possible to make the lower end side portion of the front side of the pedestal 20 less conspicuous. That is, the front side surface 21a of the pedestal 20 is formed to recede as it faces the lower side.

[0046] In addition, in the present embodiment, the width direction both side surfaces (width direction side surfaces) 21b, 21b of the pedestal 20 are formed to be inclined surfaces that become the width direction central side as they face the lower side. With this structure, it is possible to make the portion that supports the bottom surface side of the toilet body 10 larger on both width direction sides, and it is possible to make the lower end side portions of both width direction sides of the pedestal 20 less conspicuous. That is, the pedestal 20 becomes smaller in width dimension as it goes from the upper end side toward the lower end side.

[0047] In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the base 20 is provided with a positioning portion 26a that positions the front and rear positions of the toilet main body 10 placed on the upper end side and moved to the rear side. With this configuration, by placing the toilet main body 10 on the base 20 and moving it to the rear side, the toilet main body 10 can be positioned at an appropriate front and rear position, and the workability can be further improved.

[0048] In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in (a) and (b) of Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the base 20 is provided with a socket 6 that connects the drain side of the toilet main body 10 to the floor drain pipe 4. With this configuration, the socket 6 can be made less conspicuous.

[0049] In addition, in the present embodiment, the base 20 is provided with a frame (base frame) 23 that supports the toilet main body 10 and is fixed to the floor 2, and a cover 21 that covers the base frame 23 and constitutes the outer side decorative surface of the base 20. With this configuration, the fixing member such as a bolt that fixes the base frame 23 to the floor 2 can be covered with the cover 21.

[0050] In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in (a) and (b) of Figure 3 , the base frame 23 has two side frame portions 24b, 24b disposed on both sides in the width direction of the floor drain pipe 4 (the same direction as the width direction of the toilet device 1), a front frame portion 24a disposed on the front side of the floor drain pipe 4, and a rear frame portion 24c disposed on the rear side of the floor drain pipe 4. A part of the socket 6 is disposed overlapping at least one of the two side frame portions 24b, 24b, the front frame portion 24a, and the rear frame portion 24c. With this configuration, one or both of the width dimension and the depth dimension of the base 20 (the base frame 23) can be effectively reduced. That is, while the necessary dimension of the socket 6 is ensured, a part thereof is disposed overlapping at least one of the two side frame portions 24b, 24b, the front frame portion 24a, and the rear frame portion 24c, and thus one or both of the width dimension and the depth dimension of the base 20 (the base frame 23) can be reduced.

[0051] Specifically, as shown in (a) of Figure 3 , the socket 6 is provided with an upstream side connecting portion 6a connected to the drain port 16 (see (c) of Figure 6 , etc.) of the trap 15 of the toilet main body 10, and a downstream side connecting portion 6b connected to the floor drain pipe 4. The upstream side connecting portion 6a is provided in a flange shape around the opening on the upstream side of the socket 6. The downstream side connecting portion 6b is formed in a cylindrical shape to be inserted into the floor drain pipe 4. A flange portion 6c is formed in a manner protruding to the radially outer side on the entire circumference at the upper side portion of the downstream side connecting portion 6b.

[0052] In the drawing, an example is shown in which the drain socket 6 is formed in a curved shape in such a manner that the downstream-side opening is located further forward than the upstream-side opening, but the shape is not limited to this.

[0053] The base frame 23 is placed on the floor 2 and includes a floor-side frame 24 fixed to the floor 2. Side frame portions 24b, 24b on both sides, a front frame portion 24a, and a rear frame portion 24c constitute the floor-side frame 24. The side frame portions 24b, 24b are formed in a long strip shape extending in the front-rear direction. The side frame portions 24b, 24b are provided with floor-side pieces arranged in such a manner that the thickness direction becomes the up-down direction and arranged in such a manner that they follow the floor 2, and standing pieces provided in such a manner that they stand from the width direction outer edge portions of the respective floor-side pieces. As shown in (b) of the drawing, the portions on both sides of the toilet width direction of the flange portions 6c of the above-described drain socket 6 are arranged overlapping the floor-side pieces of the side frame portions 24b, 24b. With this structure, the width dimension of the base 20 (the base frame 23) can be effectively reduced. The side frame portions 24b, 24b can also be L-shaped (angular) section materials. The side frame portions 24b, 24b can also be constituted so as to be adjustable in length in the front-rear direction. In the drawing, the side frame portions 24b, 24b are adjustable in length by adjusting the amount of overlap of the portions obtained by dividing in the front-rear direction. Figure 3

[0054] The front frame portion 24a is formed in a long strip shape extending in the toilet width direction in such a manner that the front end portions of the side frame portions 24b, 24b on both sides are connected to each other. The rear frame portion 24c is formed in a long strip shape extending in the toilet width direction in such a manner that the rear end portions of the side frame portions 24b, 24b on both sides are connected to each other. That is, the floor-side frame 24 is formed in a frame shape in such a manner that it surrounds the four sides of the front and rear sides and the width direction sides of the floor drain pipe 4.

[0055] The front frame portion 24a and the rear frame portion 24c, like the side frame portions 24b, 24b, are provided with floor-side pieces arranged in such a manner that the thickness direction becomes the up-down direction and arranged in such a manner that they follow the floor 2, and standing pieces provided in such a manner that they stand from the front-rear direction outer edge portions of the respective floor-side pieces. In the drawing, an example is shown in which the front end side portions of the flange portions 6c of the above-described drain socket 6 are arranged overlapping the floor-side pieces of the front frame portion 24a. With this structure, the depth dimension of the base 20 (the base frame 23) can be effectively reduced. The front frame portion 24a and the rear frame portion 24c can also be L-shaped (angular) section materials.

[0056] ​The front frame portion 24a and the rear frame portion 24c can also be configured to be adjustable in length in the toilet width direction. In the drawing, the front frame portion 24a and the rear frame portion 24c can be adjusted in length by adjusting the amount of overlap of the portions divided in the toilet width direction.

[0057] The floor side frame 24 described above can also be fixed to the floor 2 by a suitable fixing member such as a bolt. In the drawing, an example is shown in which the fixing member that fixes the floor side frame 24 to the floor 2 penetrates each floor side piece portion of the front frame portion 24a and the rear frame portion 24c, but instead of or in addition to this, a structure can be made in which each floor side piece portion of the side frame portions 24b, 24b is penetrated. Also, in the drawing, an example is shown in which a portion of the flange portion 6c of the drain outlet 6 is provided overlapping the front frame portion 24a and the side frame portions 24b, 24b on both sides, but this is not limited to this example, and a portion of the drain outlet 6 can also be provided overlapping the rear frame portion 24c, or can be provided overlapping at least one of them. Also, it can be a structure in which a portion of the drain outlet 6 does not overlap the floor side frame 24.

[0058] The base frame 23 has, in addition to the floor side frame 24 that is fixed to the floor 2, support frames (25, 26) that support the toilet main body 10. In the drawing, the support frames (25, 26) are provided in a manner that rises from the four corners of the floor side frame 24. The support frames (25, 26) include front side support frames 25, 25 that rise from the two corner portions on the front side of the floor side frame 24, and rear side support frames 26, 26 that rise from the two corner portions on the rear side of the floor side frame 24. In the drawing, an example is shown in which the front side support frames 25, 25 are formed as L-shaped (angular) sections, and the rear side support frames 26, 26 are formed as C-shaped (groove-shaped) sections, but the shape is not limited to this. Also, in the drawing, an example is shown in which a support piece portion that protrudes toward the outside in the toilet width direction and whose thickness direction is the vertical direction is provided at the upper end portion of the rear side support frames 26, 26.

[0059] The positioning portion 26a, by engaging with the positioned portion 19a provided on the toilet main body 10 side, can perform positioning in the width direction in addition to positioning of the front and rear positions of the toilet main body 10. This positioning portion 26a is provided to the base frame 23. In the present embodiment, the positioning portions 26a, 26a are provided to the rear side support frames 26, 26 on both sides. These positioning portions 26a, 26a are provided in a manner that protrude toward the upper side from the toilet width direction outer end portions of the support piece portions of the rear side support frames 26, 26. In the drawing, these positioning portions 26a, 26a are formed as protrusions that are arranged in a manner that the axial direction is the vertical direction. These positioning portions 26a, 26a can be external thread portions.

[0060] As the base frame 23, it is not limited to the shape described above, and can be provided in various other shapes. In addition, the base frame 23 can be made of a suitable metal.

[0067] The cover 21 of the base 20 is provided in a manner that covers the front side and both sides in the width direction of the base frame 23. The front side surface toward the front side of this cover 21 constitutes the front side surface 21a of the base 20 and the side surfaces toward both sides in the width direction constitute the width direction side surfaces 21b, 21b of the base 20 on both sides in the width direction. The front side surface 21a is formed in a protruding curved surface shape that curves in a manner that becomes the rear side as it goes toward the outside in the width direction when viewed in plan and is formed in a manner that its both sides in the width direction are connected to the width direction side surfaces 21b, 21b on both sides in the width direction.

[0068] This cover 21 is formed in a manner that opens on both sides in the up-down direction and on the rear side (also refer to (b) and the like of FIG. 6). Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 6, this cover 21 is provided in a manner that also covers the front side frame of the above-mentioned main body frame 17 (also refer to (a) and the like of FIG. 6). Figure 5 Figure 8 Figure 10

[0069] The front side portion of this cover 21 that covers the front side of the base frame 23 is in an inclined plate shape that inclines in a manner that becomes the front side as it goes toward the upper side so as not to interfere with the front side frame of the main body frame 17, the fixing member 27 fixed to the supported portion 18, and the like.

[0070] ​​​The width direction both side portions of the cover 21 covering both sides of the base frame 23 in the width direction are in an inclined plate shape inclined so as to become the width direction outer side as going toward the upper side, so as not to interfere with the support piece portions of the rear side support frames 26, 26 of the base frame 23.

[0071] The cover 21 can also be attached and detached with respect to the base frame 23, the toilet main body 10, the floor 2, and the like. For example, a mounting portion that is mounted to a mounting portion provided in a mounting object can be provided on the inner surface side of the cover 21. As such a mounting portion and a mounted portion, a face fastener, a fitting portion and a receiving portion that fit into each other, and the like can be used. The cover 21 is not limited to a structure integrally formed as in the example, and can be divided into a plurality of portions. The surface of the cover 21 can be the same color as the surface of the toilet main body 10, or can be a different color, for example, a color darker than the toilet main body 10, such as a light white color or a beige color.

[0072] The height dimension H, the depth dimension D2, and the width dimension W2 (see FIG. 6) of the base 20 can be appropriately set from the viewpoint of making the base 20 less conspicuous and stably supporting the toilet main body 10, the viewpoint of the cleanliness of the surroundings of the base 20, and the like. Figure 1 Figure 2 The height dimension H, the depth dimension D2, and the width dimension W2 (see FIG. 6) of the base 20 can be appropriately set from the viewpoint of making the base 20 less conspicuous and stably supporting the toilet main body 10, the viewpoint of the cleanliness of the surroundings of the base 20, and the like.

[0073] The height dimension H of the base 20 (the height dimension from the floor 2 to the front side bottom surface 12c and the side bottom surfaces 12d, 12d of the toilet main body 10) can be, for example, about 50 mm to 200 mm, and is preferably about 80 mm to 150 mm.

[0074] The depth dimension D2 of the base 20 can be a dimension smaller than the depth dimension D1 of the bottom surface of the toilet main body 10 placed on the upper end side thereof. The depth dimension D2 of the base 20 can also be the dimension of the deepest portion in the depth direction of the base 20. In the present embodiment, the depth dimension D2 of the base 20 is set to the depth dimension from the upper end of the front side surface 21a, which is an inclined surface that becomes the rear side as going toward the lower side, to the rear end of the base 20. In the example, the depth dimension D1 of the bottom surface of the toilet main body 10 is set to the dimension from the rear end of the bottom surface of the toilet main body 10 to the front end of the portion of the front side bottom surface 12c that is in a substantially horizontal surface shape, but can be set to the dimension to the front end of the portion of the front side bottom surface 12c that is in a protruding curved surface shape. In this case, the portion in which the angle with respect to the normal line of the front side bottom surface 12c that is in a protruding curved surface shape and the floor 2 is 45 degrees or more (preferably 60 degrees or more) can be grasped as the front side bottom surface 12c.

[0075] As described above, the base 20 can be provided with the cover 21 that covers the base frame 23 and the like. Figure 2 ​The depth dimension D2 of the base 20 and the inclination angle of the front side surface 21a can also be set to appropriate dimensions and angles so that the user 7 standing on the front side of the toilet device 1 cannot recognize the front side surface 21a of the base 20, as shown. For example, the base 20 can be configured so as to be positioned on the rear side of the visual axis (an imaginary line connecting the eyes and the recognized object) 8 of the user 7 standing on the front side of the toilet device 1 in a state where the visual axis 8 intersects the front side surface 12a of the toilet main body 10 tangentially. In this case, the standing position of the user 7 standing on the front side of the toilet device 1 can be a position corresponding to the front portion of the entrance of a general bathroom single room. For example, the standing position of the user 7 can be a position of about 600 mm to 1500 mm from the front end of the toilet main body 10, or a position of about 800 mm to 1200 mm. In addition, the height of the eyes of the user 7 serving as the reference of the visual axis 8 can be set to a height of about 1300 mm to 1700 mm from the floor 2, or a height of about 1400 mm to 1600 mm from the floor 2.

[0076] The width dimension W2 of the base 20 can also be a dimension smaller than the width dimension W1 of the bottom surface of the toilet main body 10 placed on the end side thereof. The width dimension W2 of the base 20 can also be a dimension of the widest portion in the width direction of the base 20. In the present embodiment, the width dimension W2 of the base 20 is set to a dimension between the upper ends of the width direction side surfaces 21b, 21b of the inclined surfaces formed on both sides of the width direction central side as the bottom surface of the toilet main body 10 is lowered. In the drawing, an example in which the width dimension W1 of the bottom surface of the toilet main body 10 is set to a dimension between the outer ends of the portions of the side portion bottom surfaces 12d, 12d of the toilet main body 10 on both sides in the width direction that are in a substantially horizontal surface shape is shown, but as described above, the dimension including the portions in a protruding curved surface shape can also be set. In this case, as described above, the portions in which the angle between the normal line of the side portion bottom surfaces 12d, 12d in a protruding curved surface shape and the floor 2 is 45 degrees or more (preferably 60 degrees or more) can also be grasped as the side portion bottom surfaces 12d, 12d.

[0077] The width dimension W2 of the base 20 and the inclination angle of the width direction side surfaces 21b, 21b can also be set to appropriate dimensions and angles so that the user 7 standing on the front side of the toilet device 1 cannot recognize the width direction side surfaces 21b, 21b of the base 20.

[0078] The toilet device 1 configured as described above can also be constructed as follows.

[0079] First, as Figure 3(a) of FIG. 10, the floor side frames 24 of the pedestal frame 23 are fixed to the floor 2 in a manner of surrounding the floor drain 4. At this time, the mounting positions of the floor side frames 24 with respect to the floor drain 4 can be positioned using appropriate positioning jigs or the like, and the floor side frames 24 can be fixed to the floor 2. Also, as shown in Figure 3 (b) of FIG. 10, the downstream side connecting portions 6b of the drain hub 6 are connected to the floor drain 4, and the flange portions 6c thereof are overlapped and disposed on the floor side pieces of the front frame portions 24a and the side frame portions 24b, 24b of the floor side frames 24.

[0080] Also, as shown in Figure 4 FIG. 11, the toilet main body 10 is temporarily placed on the pedestal frame 23 in a manner of placing the main frame 17 thereof on the pedestal frame 23. At this time, the toilet main body 10 can be temporarily placed on the pedestal frame 23 in a manner of being able to receive the positioning portions 26a, 26a of the pedestal frame 23 in the positioned portions 19a, 19a of the main frame 17, and being positioned at a position slightly further to the front side than the formal fixing position.

[0081] As described above, before the toilet main body 10 is temporarily placed on the pedestal frame 23, as shown in Figure 5 FIG. 12, the fixing members 27, 27 can be fixed to the lower surface side of the supported portions 18, 18 of the main frame 17 in advance. In this case, the upper end portions of the front side supporting frames 25, 25 of the pedestal frame 23 can function as positioning portions, and the fixing members 27, 27 fixed to the supported portions 18, 18 can function as positioned portions.

[0082] In addition, after the toilet main body 10 is temporarily placed on the pedestal frame 23 as described above, the toilet main body 10 is moved to the rear side and the front and rear positions are positioned by the positioning portions 26a, 26a. That is, the positioned portions 19a, 19a of the toilet main body 10 side are engaged with the positioning portions 26a, 26a of the pedestal frame 23, and the front and rear positions and the width direction positions are positioned. Also, a female screw member such as a nut can be screwed with the positioning portions 26a, 26a to fix the rear end side of the main frame 17 to the rear end side of the pedestal frame 23. In addition, the fixing members 27, 27 can be fixed to the front side supporting frames 25, 25 of the pedestal frame 23 to fix the front end side of the main frame 17 to the front end side of the pedestal frame 23. As shown in Figure 4 FIG. 13, such fixing work can be performed in a state where the rear end side portion of the skirt 12 is detached from the toilet main body 10.

[0083] Also, as shown in Figure 5 FIG. 14, the cover 21 can be installed to an installation object constituted by at least one of the pedestal frame 23, the toilet main body 10, and the floor 2 in a manner of covering the pedestal frame 23.

[0084] Further, the above-described construction sequence is only an example, and can be appropriately modified.

[0085] Next, the construction sequence of the toilet device will be described with reference to Figures 6-10 A modification example of the toilet device will be described.

[0086] In the following modification examples, only the points different from the above-described example will be described, and the same structures as those of the above-described example will be omitted or briefly described. In the modification examples, the effects of the same as those of the above-described example will also be omitted or briefly described.

[0087] Figure 6 (a) and (b) of FIG. 10 schematically show a first modification example of the toilet device.

[0088] In the present modification example, the constitution of the skirt portion 12A of the toilet main body 10A is different from that of the above-described example.

[0089] A flow suppression portion 13 that suppresses the flow of liquid flowing along the front side surface 12a toward the lower side is provided on the front side of the toilet main body 10A. With this structure, the flow of liquid flowing along the front side surface 12a of the toilet main body 10A toward the lower side can be suppressed, and further suppressed from flowing toward the base 20 side to enter the gap between the toilet main body 10A and the base 20.

[0090] The flow suppression portion 13 is preferably provided on the lower half in the vertical direction of the toilet main body 10A, and can also be provided so as to extend from the front side to both width direction sides. In the present modification example, the flow suppression portion 13 is provided on the front side bottom surface 12c of the toilet main body 10A in a manner that suppresses the flow toward the rear side. With this structure, the flow suppression portion 13 can be made less conspicuous. More specifically, in the present modification example, the flow suppression portion 13 is provided in a manner that follows the front side upper end edge of the base 20. With this structure, the flow suppression portion 13 is located at the boundary between the front side bottom surface 12c of the toilet main body 10A and the front side upper end edge of the base 20, and for example, compared to a structure in which the flow suppression portion 13 is provided at a position further forward than the base 20, the flow suppression portion 13 can be made less conspicuous.

[0091] In the present modification example, the flow suppression portion 13 is provided in a manner that extends from both width direction sides of the front side bottom surface 12c toward the rear side along the side portion bottom surfaces 12d, 12d on both width direction sides. With this constitution, the flow of liquid flowing along the front side portions of the width direction side surfaces 12b, 12b of the toilet main body 10A toward the base 20 side to enter the gap between the toilet main body 10A and the base 20 can be suppressed. In the example, the flow suppression portion 13 is provided on substantially half of the front side of the side portion bottom surfaces 12d, 12d in addition to the front side bottom surface 12c.

[0092] Further, the flow suppression portion 13 is formed as a protrusion that protrudes toward the lower side from the front side bottom surface 12c (and the front side portions of the side bottom surfaces 12d, 12d in this modification example). With this configuration, liquid flowing along the front side bottom surface 12c (and the front side portions of the side bottom surfaces 12d, 12d in this modification example) of the toilet main body 10A is suppressed from flowing toward the base 20 by the flow suppression portion 13 as a protrusion.

[0093] Figure 6 (a), (b) of FIG. 21 schematically show a toilet device of a second modification example.

[0094] In this modification example, as with the first modification example, the flow suppression portion 13A is provided on the front side bottom surface 12c of the skirt portion 12B of the toilet main body 10B. In this modification example, the flow suppression portion 13A is provided on substantially half of the front side of the side bottom surfaces 12d, 12d in addition to the front side bottom surface 12c.

[0095] In this modification example, the flow suppression portion 13A is formed as a groove provided on the front side bottom surface 12c (and the front side portions of the side bottom surfaces 12d, 12d in this modification example) in a manner that opens toward the lower side.

[0096] As the flow suppression portion 13, 13A, it is not limited to the configuration described above, but can be a step portion or the like, and can be provided only on the front side surface 12a and the front side bottom surface 12c, and various modifications can be made in addition to this.

[0097] Figure 7 (a), (b) of FIG. 21 schematically show a toilet device of a second modification example.

[0098] In this modification example, the configuration of the base 20A is different from that of each of the above-described examples.

[0099] In this modification example, the base 20A is provided with a light source 28 that irradiates light through the transmission cover 21A. With this configuration, the floor 2 or the like can be irradiated from the lower end side portion of the toilet device 1.

[0100] The light source 28 can be used as a toilet bowl lighting when used at night, and can also be used as a space performance light source as indirect lighting. In the example, an example in which the light source 28 is provided in the base 20A in a manner that follows the upper end peripheral portion of the base 20A is shown.

[0101] The light source 28 can be provided on the back side of the front side and both width direction sides of the cover 21A, or can be provided on the front side and both width direction sides of the toilet bowl. The light source 28 can be constituted by LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) as a plurality of light emitting elements, or can be a light guide body or the like that emits light from the side surface. The position, number, and the like of the light source 28 are not limited to the examples, and various modifications can be made.

[0102] The cover 21A is light-transmissive, and can be transparent or translucent, or can be formed to be thin so that light is easily transmitted. For example, the thickness of the cover 21A can be about 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm.

[0103] Figure 7 (c) schematically shows a toilet device of a fourth modification example.

[0104] In the present modification example, the structure of the base 20B is different from those of the above-described examples.

[0105] In the present modification example, an air blow-out port 22 that blows air from an air blower 29 provided in the base 20B is provided so as to open on the outer side surface of the base 20B. With this structure, for example, as compared with a structure in which the air blow-out port is provided on the side surface of the toilet main body 10 or the like, the air blow-out port 22 can be less conspicuous. In addition, air can be blown from the lower end side of the toilet device 1 toward the floor 2 or the like, and dust or the like can be less likely to accumulate around the lower end of the toilet device 1.

[0106] In the example, the air blow-out port 22 is provided at a plurality of positions at intervals along the upper end and lower end peripheral portions of the cover 21B that constitutes the outer side surface of the base 20B. In the example, an example in which the air blow-out port 22 on the lower end side is provided in a notch shape so as to open toward the floor 2 side is shown. The position, number, shape, and the like of the air blow-out port 22 are not limited to the example, and various modifications can be made in addition to this.

[0107] The air blower 29 in the base 20B can also be an air blower that emits ions having a sterilizing and deodorizing effect. With this structure, ions having a sterilizing and deodorizing effect can be emitted from the lower end side of the toilet device 1 into the bathroom. As such an ion generator, an electrostatic atomizing device that emits charged fine particle water, a negative ion generator, or the like can be used, or another ion generator can be used. In addition, the air blower 29 can be provided so as to be able to suck in air from the outside of the toilet device 1, or can be provided as an air blower of a deodorizing device of the toilet device 1.

[0108] Figures 8-10 A toilet device of a fifth modification example is schematically shown.

[0109] This modification example differs from the above-mentioned examples mainly in the structure of a toilet body 10C and the point that drainage is on the wall side.

[0110] In this modification, if Figure 8 As shown, a pipe joint 16A is provided at the rear end of the toilet body 10C to connect to the drain pipe (wall drain pipe) 5 on the wall 3 side. Figures 8-10 As shown, the pipe joint 16A is connected to the wall drain pipe 5 when the toilet body 10C, placed on the upper end of the base 20, is moved rearward and positioned at the positioning portion 26a. This structure facilitates the front-to-back positioning of the toilet body 10C and improves the ease of pipe connection.

[0111] like Figure 9 As shown in (b), the wall drain pipe 5 is provided so as to protrude from the inner wall 3 of the toilet apparatus 1 toward the front side. A large diameter portion is formed at the connection portion with the pipe joint 16A, which becomes the upstream end portion of the wall drain pipe 5.

[0112] In the return water bend shell 15A of the toilet body 10C, as shown Figure 9 (a) and Figure 10 In place of the drain port 16 provided on the lower side plate, a pipe joint 16A is provided. This pipe joint 16A is connected to the rear side plate of the return bend shell 15A and projects rearward. A suitable sealing member is provided around the outer periphery of this pipe joint 16A, ensuring close contact with the inner circumference of the wall drain pipe 5 when connected thereto.

[0113] The toilet apparatus 1 with such a structure can also be constructed in a substantially similar manner to that described above. Furthermore, in this variation, after the toilet body 10C is temporarily placed on the base frame 23, the toilet body 10C is moved rearward and the front-to-back position is adjusted using the positioning portions 26a, 26a, so that the pipe joint 16A is connected to the wall drain pipe 5. Furthermore, the base frame 23 can be positioned using an appropriate positioning fixture, etc., so that the pipe joint 16A is positioned so that it can connect to the wall drain pipe 5 and is properly installed relative to the wall drain pipe 5, similarly to the above.

[0114] The different structures described in the above examples may be appropriately modified, reorganized, or combined for application as needed.

[0115] The structures of the components and parts of the toilet apparatus 1 in the above-described respective examples are merely examples, and various modifications are possible.
