Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the above-described conventional flushing toilet, since the positioning part of the rear cover is provided at a position where it is exposed to the outside, the power cord and the water supply hose positioned by this positioning part are easily touched from the outside, and there is a problem that these power cords and water supply hoses may come off or be damaged. Furthermore, harness components such as electrical wires connected to power cords are connected not only to electronic components used in functional parts that contribute to the toilet flushing function, but also to electronic components used in localized washing devices that wash the user's private parts, and heaters installed in flush toilets designed for cold climates. Therefore, how to manage the routing of these harness components and other slender components such as water supply hoses while reducing the risk of damage has become a pressing issue in recent years.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art described above and the issues that have been requested in recent years, and aims to provide a flush toilet that can arrange multiple elongated members connected to electrical or non-electrical components in the functional part and its surrounding parts, and can reduce the risk of damage to the elongated members. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a flush toilet that washes away waste with flushing water, comprising: a toilet body having a bowl portion for receiving waste and a rim portion provided on the upper edge of the bowl portion; a functional portion provided behind the bowl portion of the toilet body and contributing to at least the toilet flushing function; and a plurality of elongated members connected to electrical or non-electrical components, wherein the functional portion or a part of its exterior member is provided with mounting portions to which the elongated members are fixed or housed. In the present invention configured in this way, since the mounting portion to which the elongated member connected to an electrical component or a non-electrical component is attached is provided on a functional part or a part of its exterior member, the risk of the elongated member being exposed is reduced, and it can be securely fixed or housed in the functional part or a part of its exterior member. Therefore, the routing of multiple elongated members connected to electrical or non-electrical components can be arranged with respect to the functional part or its exterior member. Furthermore, since it becomes more difficult to accidentally touch the elongated components, the risk of the elongated components coming loose or being damaged can be reduced.

[0007] In the present invention, preferably, the functional part has a base member fixed to the toilet bowl body, and the mounting part is provided on a part of the base member so as to be located below the upper surface of the rim. In the present invention configured in this way, the functional part can be fixed to the toilet bowl body via a base member. Furthermore, since the mounting portion to which the elongated member is attached is provided on a part of the base member so as to be located below the upper surface of the rim, the risk of the elongated member being exposed can be reduced. Therefore, the elongated member can be securely fixed to or stored in relation to a part of the base member, while making it difficult to accidentally touch the elongated member. Therefore, the risk of the slender components coming loose or breaking can be reduced.

[0008] In the present invention, preferably, the functional part comprises a valve unit for supplying or stopping water to the toilet bowl body, the exterior member is a cover member that covers the valve unit, and the mounting part is provided on a part of the cover member so as to be located below the upper surface of the rim. In the present invention configured in this way, the functional part includes a valve unit that supplies or stops water to the toilet bowl body, the exterior member is a cover member that covers the valve unit, and the mounting part is provided on a part of the cover member so that it is located below the upper surface of the rim, thereby reducing the risk of the elongated member being exposed. Therefore, the elongated member can be securely fixed to or housed in a part of the mounting portion of the cover member. Therefore, the risk of the slender components coming loose or breaking can be reduced.

[0009] In the present invention, preferably, the elongated member is a harness member that supplies power to the electrical component, and this harness member is routed from below the base member, inserted through the base member, and then attached to the mounting portion. In the present invention configured in this way, the harness member that supplies power to the electrical components can be routed from below the base member, inserted through the base member, and then securely attached to the mounting portion. Therefore, the risk of exposure to the harness components is reduced, and they are less likely to be touched unintentionally. Therefore, the risk of harness components becoming detached or damaged can be reduced. Furthermore, since the harness member is routed from below the base member, inserted through the base member, and then attached to the mounting part, the base member can prevent water from entering the harness member from above. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the flush toilet of the present invention, the routing of multiple elongated members connected to electrical or non-electrical components in the functional part and its surrounding parts can be arranged, and the risk of damage to the elongated members can be reduced.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] A flush toilet according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. First, Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a flush toilet according to this embodiment, and Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the entire system of the flush toilet according to this embodiment. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a flush toilet 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a ceramic toilet bowl body 2 installed on the floor surface F, a tank device 4 provided behind it, and a local washing device 6 provided in front of the tank device 4, both surrounding the left and right sides and the rear. Here, the tank device 4 and the local cleaning device 6 are functional parts located behind the bowl portion 8 of the toilet body 2. More specifically, the tank device 4 functions as a functional part that contributes to the toilet bowl flushing function, and the personal washing device 6 functions as a functional part that has the function of washing the user's personal parts and the function of warming the washing water. The toilet bowl body 2 is also equipped with a resin toilet seat (not shown) and a toilet lid (not shown), but these are not shown or described.

[0013] In this embodiment, we will describe an example of a so-called "floor-standing flush toilet" in which the bottom surface of the toilet bowl 2 is installed so as to be in contact with the floor surface F. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the floor-standing flush toilet 1 may be configured in a so-called "floor-side drainage system" where the toilet body 2 is connected to a floor-side drain pipe (not shown) via a drain socket (not shown), and the wastewater discharged from the toilet body 2 is drained into the floor-side drain pipe (not shown) via the drain socket (not shown). Alternatively, the wastewater discharged from the toilet bowl 2 of the floor-standing flush toilet 1 is drained through a drain socket (not shown) into a wall-side drain pipe (not shown) that extends from the back of the rear wall of the toilet bowl 2 toward the front, in a configuration known as a "wall-side drainage system" for a "floor-standing flush toilet."

[0014] Next, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the toilet bowl body 2 comprises a bowl portion 8 for receiving waste and a rim portion 10 formed on the upper edge of the bowl portion 8. Furthermore, the toilet bowl body 2 is equipped with a drain trap section 12 that extends from an inlet section 12a connected to the bottom of the bowl section 8 and forms a drain trap pipe 12b, and the outlet section 12c of the drain trap pipe 12b is connected to a drain pipe (not shown) via a drain socket (not shown). As a result, waste in the bowl section 8 is discharged from the outlet section 12c of the drain trap pipe 12b by siphon action. Furthermore, the toilet bowl body 2 includes a rim spout 14 provided on the inner circumference side of the rim portion 10, and a rim water channel 16 formed upstream of the rim spout 14, which guides the flushing water supplied from a water source 44 such as a water tap to the rim spout 14. Furthermore, the toilet bowl body 2 includes a jet outlet 18 provided at the bottom of the bowl portion 8 and positioned opposite the inlet portion 12a of the drain trap portion 12, and a jet water channel 20 that guides the flushing water supplied from the tank device 4 to the jet outlet 18.

[0015] As a result, the cleaning water supplied from the water supply source 44, such as a water tap, to the rim water channel 16 via the tank device 4 is discharged as rim water W1 from the rim outlet 14 due to the water supply pressure from the water tap, etc. Furthermore, the cleaning water supplied from the tank device 4 to the jet water conduit 20 is discharged as a jet stream W2 from the jet outlet 18 due to the head pressure of the cleaning water in the storage tank 22 of the tank device 4.

[0016] Next, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the tank device 4 comprises, generally from bottom to top, a base member 24 which is an exterior component, a valve unit 26, and a water storage tank 22. First, the base member 24 is located below the entire tank device 4 and is fixed to the rear side of the toilet bowl body 2. Furthermore, the valve unit 26 and the water storage tank 22 are detachably attached to the base member 24. As a result, when the valve unit 26 and the water storage tank 22 are attached to the base member 24, they are also fixed to the toilet bowl body 2 via the base member 24.

[0017] Next, the valve unit 26 includes a constant flow valve 28, a solenoid valve 30 for tank water supply, a solenoid valve 32 for rim water discharge, and a controller 34 that controls these solenoid valves 30 and 32, and has the function of supplying or stopping water to the toilet bowl body 2. The tank water supply solenoid valve 30 and the rim water discharge solenoid valve 32 each have a built-in diaphragm valve (not shown), and the supply and cessation of cleaning water are controlled by opening and closing these diaphragm valves. The water storage tank 22 is also equipped with a drain valve 36, a float switch 38, and a vacuum breaker 40. In this case, the tank water supply solenoid valve 30 may be provided with a manual operating valve that can be opened and closed manually, in addition to the diaphragm valve.

[0018] In this embodiment, the water storage tank 22 is a small resin tank with a volume of approximately 2 liters. The lower part of the water storage tank 22 is positioned below the upper surface of the rim portion 10 of the toilet bowl body 2, and above the top portion 12d of the drain trap pipe 12b. As a result, toilet bowl 1 is a so-called "low-profile type" toilet bowl. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the water storage tank 22 is a so-called "gravity-supplied water storage tank" in which the flushing water stored inside is supplied to the jet outlet 18 of the toilet bowl body 2 using gravity and discharged.

[0019] Furthermore, a shut-off valve 42 is provided upstream of the valve unit 26. This shut-off valve 42 is designed to shut off the water supply from a water source 44, such as a water supply, during maintenance, and the water that passes through the shut-off valve 42 flows into the valve unit 26 as flushing water. As a result, under normal use, the shut-off valve 42 is used in the "open" position. Furthermore, the constant flow valve 28 is installed downstream of the stopcock 42 and adjusts the flow rate of water supplied from the water supply to a predetermined level before discharge. The water discharged from this constant flow valve 28 is branched out toward the tank water supply solenoid valve 30 and the rim water discharge solenoid valve 32, respectively, and flows into each of the solenoid valves 30 and 32.

[0020] Next, the tank water supply solenoid valve 30 is opened and closed based on the user's cleaning operation, and the cleaning water that flows out from the tank water supply solenoid valve 30 flows into the water storage tank 22 and is stored there. Furthermore, the rim water discharge solenoid valve 32 is opened and closed based on the user's flushing operation, and the flushing water that flows out from the rim water discharge solenoid valve 32 is discharged from the rim water outlet 14 of the toilet bowl body 2 via the rim water conduit 16.

[0021] Next, the controller 34 receives control signals from the remote control 46 operated by the user and controls the opening and closing of the tank water supply solenoid valve 30 and the rim water discharge solenoid valve 32. Furthermore, the controller 34 controls the tank water supply solenoid valve 30 based on the detection signal from the float switch 38.

[0022] The drain valve 36 is provided to open and close relative to the drain port 22a at the bottom of the water storage tank 22, and is designed to open based on the user's cleaning operation. As a result, the cleaning water stored in the water storage tank 22 is discharged from the jet outlet 18 via the jet water conduit 20.

[0023] Furthermore, the tank device 4 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 48 located at the top of the water storage tank 22 that lifts the drain valve 36. This lifting mechanism 48 includes a lever member (not shown) for lifting the ball chain 50 connected to the drain valve 36, and a drive motor (not shown) for rotating this lever member (not shown). Furthermore, the drive motor (not shown) of the lifting mechanism 48 rotates, causing the lever member (not shown) to pull up the drain valve 36 from the drain port 22a via the ball chain 50, thereby opening the drain port 22a.

[0024] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 48 is configured to lift the drain valve 36 at a predetermined timing based on a control signal from the controller 34 when flushing the toilet. As a result, when the controller 34 receives a control signal from the remote control 46 that has been operated by the user to open and close the drain valve 36, the drive motor (not shown) of the lifting mechanism 48 is activated based on this control signal. Then, after the drain valve 36 is raised at a predetermined timing, the drain valve 36 descends as the water level of the cleaning water in the water storage tank 22 decreases, closing the drain port 22a. Furthermore, a power outage operation member 52 is connected to the lifting mechanism 48. This power outage operation member 52 is an elongated member including a flexible wire, and even when the drive motor (not shown) of the lifting mechanism 48 is stopped during a power outage, the power outage operation member 52 can be manually operated to operate the lever member (not shown) of the lifting mechanism 48, thereby forcibly lifting the drain valve 36 via the ball chain 50.

[0025] Next, the float switch 38 is configured to detect the water level in the water storage tank 22. When it detects that the water level in the water storage tank 22 has reached a predetermined water level, it transmits a detection signal to the controller 34. Furthermore, the vacuum breaker 40 is positioned above a predetermined water level in the water storage tank 22, downstream of the rim discharge solenoid valve 32, and upstream of the rim water conduit 16. As a result, when negative pressure is created on the side of the rim discharge solenoid valve 32, air is drawn in from the vacuum breaker 40, preventing backflow of cleaning water from the rim discharge port 14 to the rim discharge solenoid valve 32. Furthermore, if cleaning water flows back from the rim outlet 14, the backflowing cleaning water is discharged from the vacuum breaker 40 and flows into the water storage tank 22.

[0026] Next, as shown in Figure 2, a heater device 54, which is a heating element for cold climates, is provided on the outer surface of the inlet 12a of the drain trap section 12 and the bottom of the jet outlet 18. Furthermore, if the flush toilet 1 of this embodiment is used in a climate other than cold climates, the heater device H may be omitted.

[0027] Next, with reference to Figures 3 to 29, we will describe in detail the mounting structure of harness components such as electric wires related to the tank device 4 and the local cleaning device 6, which are the functional parts of the flush toilet 1 of this embodiment, as well as the mounting structure of the power outage operation member 52 used in response to power outages. Figure 3 is a perspective view from diagonally above of the base member 24 of the flush toilet 1 according to this embodiment, with the water storage tank 22 removed. Figure 4 is a bottom view of the flush toilet 1 according to this embodiment. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view along the VV line in Figure 4. First, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, the base member 24 is fixed to the toilet bowl body 2 by a plurality of fixing members 56 such as screws, and fixes the functional parts, the tank device 4 and the local washing device 6, to the toilet bowl body 2. When the base member 24 is fixed to the toilet bowl body 2, the height of its upper end is approximately the same as the height of the upper surface 10a of the rim portion 10 of the toilet bowl body 2.

[0028] Furthermore, the base member 24 is provided with an electrical component mounting section 62 to which parts of multiple harness members 58, 60, which are elongated members consisting of multiple electric wires, are fixed or housed. Furthermore, the base member 24 is provided with a non-electrical component mounting section 64 to which a part of the power outage control member 52, such as an operating wire which is an elongated non-electrical component, is fixed or housed. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, these mounting parts 62 and 64 are provided on a part of the base member 24 so as to be located below the upper surface 10a of the rim portion 10 of the toilet bowl body 2.

[0029] Next, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, the harness members 58 and 60 supply power from the power outlet E from the heater device 54 for the toilet bowl, which is below the base member 24, to the electrical components of the tank device 4, which is above the base member 24. Here, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, the toilet heater device 54 comprises a rear heating element 54a located on the bottom and rear side of the drain trap section 12, a front heating element 54b located in front of the rear heating element 54a, and an outer cover C1 attached to cover these heating elements 54a and 54b from below. The heater device 54 for the toilet bowl is provided in flush toilets 1 designed for cold climates, but it may be omitted in flush toilets that are not designed for cold climates.

[0030] Next, one end 66a of one of the wires 66 of the harness member 58 is connected to the external power cord 70 via a connector 68. In addition, one end 72a of another electric wire 72 extending from the connector 68 is connected to the rear heating element 54a of the toilet heater device 54. Furthermore, one end 74a of a separate wire 74, distinct from wires 66 and 72, is connected to the front heating element 54b of the toilet heater device 54. Here, the electric wires 66 and 74 are arranged together and their outer surfaces are covered by an insulating tube T of a single harness member 58.

[0031] Furthermore, Figure 6 is a magnified perspective view showing an enlarged portion of the insertion hole in the toilet bowl body of the flush toilet according to one embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 3. As shown in Figures 3 to 6, a round-shaped insertion hole 76 is provided in the horizontal wall 2a on the rear side of the outlet portion 12c of the drain trap pipe 12b in the toilet bowl body 2, allowing the harness member 58 to be inserted. This insertion hole 82 is positioned slightly to the right of the center in the left-right direction when viewing the flush toilet 1 from the front. The harness member 58 is equipped with connectors 78 (first connector 78a) at the ends 66b and 74b of each electric wire 66 and 74 extending from one end 58a of the harness member 58. One end 58a of the harness member 58 and its connector 78 (first connector 78a) are routed from the lower side of the base member 24, inserted into the insertion hole 76, and then attached to the electrical component mounting portion 62 on the upper side of the base member 24, and connected to each of the wires (not shown) of the harness member 60. As a result, the connectors (first connector 78a, second connector 78b) of the harness members 58 and 60 are attached to and housed in the electrical component mounting section 62, thereby fixing them to the base member 24. Here, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the multiple wires of the harness member 58 are neatly arranged and bundled together at multiple points using multiple cable ties 80.

[0032] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 6, the outer surface portion of the harness member 58 is covered with an insulating tube T, and after being inserted into the insertion hole 76, it is bent in a folded manner. As a result, even if the harness member 58 is pulled, the friction between the round-shaped insertion hole 76 and the insulating tube T of the harness member 58 reduces the tensile load acting on the harness member 58. Therefore, the harness member 58 is less likely to break, and it is less likely to come off when it is attached to the electrical component mounting part 62 or when it is connected and fixed to the heater device 54 for the toilet.

[0033] Next, with reference to Figures 7 to 9, the mounting structure for attaching the harness member 58 to the electrical component mounting section 62 will be described. Figure 7 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing the toilet flush 1 according to this embodiment as shown in Figure 3, with the valve unit 26 removed from the base member 24 and the harness member 58 attached to the base member 24. Figure 8 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing the toilet flush 1 according to this embodiment as having the harness member 58 attached to the base member 24 and the connector 78 housed in a part of the base member 24. Furthermore, Figure 9 is a partially enlarged perspective view of the toilet flush 1 according to this embodiment as having the harness member 58 attached to the base member 24 and the connector 78 housed in a part of the base member 24, viewed from a diagonal front and above. First, as shown in Figures 7 to 9, the base member 24 is provided with an insertion hole 82 and a guide groove 84 at its bottom.

[0034] The insertion hole 82 of the base member 24 is located to the left of the center in the left-right direction when viewing the flush toilet 1 from the front, and is located in approximately the same position in the front-rear direction as the insertion hole 76 of the horizontal wall portion 2a of the toilet body 2. Furthermore, the insertion hole 82 is a hole that penetrates vertically so that one end of the insulating tube T of the harness member 58, to which the positioning cable tie 80a is attached, can be inserted from below upward. The guide groove 84 of the base member 24 is formed to extend in the front-rear direction, penetrating vertically from the front end which communicates with the insertion hole 82. As shown in Figure 7, when attaching the harness member 58 to the electrical component mounting section 62, one end of the insulating tube T of the harness member 58, with the positioning cable tie 80a attached, is inserted through the insertion hole 82 from below upward, and then moved from the front to the rear relative to the guide groove 84.

[0035] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the electrical component mounting portion 62 of the base member 24 includes a storage recess 86 provided in the rear wall portion 24b of the base member 24 and formed to be recessed from front to rear, and a protruding wall portion 88 provided at a predetermined interval in front of the storage recess 86 and extending upward from the bottom of the base member 24. As shown in Figure 8, one end 58a of the harness member 58 and the positioning cable tie 80a are inserted through the insertion hole 82 from below upward, and then fixed to the base member 24 after being moved from the front end to the rear end of the guide groove 84. As shown in Figure 8, the connector 78 (first connector 78a) connected to the ends 66b and 74b of the electric wires 66 and 74 extending from one end 58a of the harness member 58 is inserted into the storage recess 86 by bypassing the outer surface of the protruding wall portion 88 from the front to the rear. As a result, the connector 78 (first connector 78a) of the harness member 58 is housed in the storage recess 86, and its forward movement is restricted by the protruding wall portion 88 in front of it, thereby fixing it in place on the electrical component mounting portion 62 of the base member 24.

[0036] Next, with reference to Figures 10 to 13, the mounting structure for attaching the power outage control member 52 to the non-electrical component mounting section 64 will be described. First, Figure 10 is a partially enlarged perspective view from the front and above, showing the state in which the connector of the harness member of the flush toilet according to this embodiment is attached to the electrical component mounting part of the base member, and then the power outage control member is attached to the non-electrical component mounting part of the base member. Next, Figure 11 is a partially enlarged perspective view from the left front and above, showing the state in which one end of the power outage control member is attached to a part of the rear wall of the base member of the flush toilet according to this embodiment. Furthermore, Figure 12 is a partially enlarged perspective view from the left front and above, showing the state in which one end of the power outage control member is attached to a part of the rear wall of the base member of the flush toilet according to this embodiment, and then the other end of the power outage control member is attached to a part of the base member from below. Finally, Figure 13 is a partial bottom view of the base member of the flush toilet according to this embodiment, viewed along the line XIII-XIII in Figure 12. First, as shown in Figures 10 to 13, the non-electrical component mounting portion 64 of the base member 24 includes a bottom fixing portion 90, a hook fixing portion 92, and a rear fixing portion 94.

[0037] As shown in Figures 11 to 13, the bottom fixing portion 90 includes a round hole portion 90b with a slit portion 90a at its lower end, and a storage recess 90c formed inward in the left-right direction from the round hole portion 90b. Furthermore, the hook fixing portion 92 includes a guide groove 92a formed below it, and a hook portion 92b provided rearward relative to the rear end and upper end of the guide groove 92a. Furthermore, the rear fixing portion 94 includes a storage groove portion 94a provided on the rear wall portion 24b of the base member 24 and formed to extend in the vertical direction, and a holding portion 94b provided above the storage groove portion 94a. Furthermore, the power outage control member 52 includes a loop-shaped control section 52a fixed to the bottom fixing section 90 and manually operated by the user, an operating-side holding section 52b that slidably holds the control section 52a, a loop-shaped drain valve-side connecting section 52c connected to the lifting operating section 48, and a drain valve-side holding section 52d that slidably holds the drain valve-side connecting section 52c.

[0038] As shown in Figures 10 and 11, when attaching the power outage control member 52 to the non-electrical component mounting portion 64 of the base member 24 after attaching the connector 78 (first connector 78a) of the harness member 58 (first connector 78a) of the flush toilet 1 according to this embodiment to the electrical component mounting portion 62 of the base member 24, the drain valve side connecting portion 52c and the drain valve side holding portion 52d of the power outage control member 52 are inserted into the guide groove 92a of the hook fixing portion 92 from the lower side of the base member 24 (see Figure 10), and then pulled upward (see Figure 11). Then, the drain valve side holding portion 52d of the power outage control member 52 is attached to the holding portion 94b of the rear side fixing portion 94, and the main body portion 52e of the power outage control member 52, which is the lower part of the drain valve side holding portion 52d, is fitted into the storage groove portion 94a (see Figure 12). As a result, a portion of the upper surface of the main body 52e of the power deactivation operating member 52 within the guide groove 92a of the hook fixing portion 92 is held from above by the hook portion 92b (see Figure 12). At this time, as shown in Figure 12, the operating side holding portion 52b of the power outage operating member 52 is located below and outside the storage recess 90c of the bottom fixing portion 90 of the base member 24. Therefore, the operating side holding portion 52b is pulled upward and positioned inside the storage recess 90c, and the operating wire 52f moves from below to above relative to the slit portion 90a of the bottom fixing portion 90. Furthermore, a portion of the operating side holding portion 52b of the power outage operating member 52 is moved outward in the horizontal left-right direction and fitted into the round hole portion 90b of the bottom fixing portion 90 to prevent it from coming loose, so that the operating side holding portion 52b of the power outage operating member 52 is fixed to the bottom fixing portion 90. As a result, the entire power outage control member 52 is attached to and fixed to the non-electrical component mounting portion 64 of the base member 24.

[0039] Next, with reference to Figures 1, 3, and 14-17, the mounting structure for attaching the harness member 98 connected to the power connection section 96 of the local cleaning device 6 will be described. First, Figure 14 is a partial outer side view of the cover member 100 of the local cleaning device 6 in the flush toilet 1 according to this embodiment, viewed from the outside. Next, Figure 15 is a front cross-sectional view along the line XV-XV in Figure 14. Furthermore, Figure 16 is a partial inner side view of the cover member 100 of the local cleaning device 6 in the flush toilet 1 according to this embodiment, viewed from the inside. Finally, Figure 17 is a plan cross-sectional view along the line XVII-XVII in Figure 16. As shown in Figures 1, 3 and 14 to 17, the local cleaning device 6 comprises a power connection unit 96, a harness member 98 connected to the power connection unit 96, and a cover member 100 which is an exterior member that covers the power connection unit 96. As shown in Figures 15 to 17, the cover member 100 has, on its inner side (back surface), a lower holding portion 102 provided at its lower end to hold the harness member 98 so that it can be inserted in the vertical direction, a pair of hook holding portions 104, 104 provided above the lower holding portion 102 and facing each other in the front-rear direction, and an upper hook portion 106 provided above this pair of hook holding portions 104, 104. Each of these lower holding portion 102, the pair of hook holding portions 104, 104, and the upper hook portion 106 functions as an attachment portion for attaching and fixing the harness member 98 to the cover member 100. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 15 to 17, the multiple wires 98a of the harness member 98 are bundled together and neatly arranged by multiple cable ties 108, 108 arranged at multiple locations (for example, two locations) in the vertical direction, and then connected to the connectors 110, 112 above them. As a result, the harness member 98 is securely held in place by the lower holding portion 102, the pair of hook holding portions 104, 104, the upper hook portion 106, and the multiple cable ties 108, 108 on the cover member 100 that covers the power connection portion 96 of the local cleaning device 6. Therefore, even if an exposed portion of the harness member 98 is pulled, the harness member 98 will not detach from the respective mounting portions 102, 104, 106 of the cover member 100.

[0040] Next, with reference to Figures 1, 3, and 18-29, the mounting structure for attaching the harness member 98 that supplies power to the valve unit 26 will be described. First, Figure 18 is an enlarged perspective view of the valve unit and a part thereof in the flush toilet according to this embodiment. Next, Figure 19 is an exploded perspective view of the main body and outer cover member of the valve unit in the flush toilet according to this embodiment. Furthermore, Figure 20 is an internal side view of the valve unit in the flush toilet according to this embodiment, viewed from the inside. Finally, Figure 21 is a perspective view of the internal structure of the valve unit in the flush toilet according to this embodiment, viewed from diagonally above. Next, Figure 22 is a perspective view showing the valve unit in the flush toilet according to this embodiment before it is completely covered by the outer cover member. Figures 23 and 24 show the top view and the inside side view, respectively, of the valve unit in the flush toilet according to this embodiment. Furthermore, Figure 25 is an enlarged view of part A in Figure 23. Next, Figure 26 is an enlarged view of section B in Figure 24. Figure 27 is a partial plan view of the tank device and valve unit of the flush toilet according to this embodiment, viewed from above. Furthermore, Figure 28 is a rear cross-sectional view along line XXVIII-XXVIII in Figure 27. Finally, Figure 29 is a partially enlarged perspective view of the tank device of the flush toilet according to this embodiment, viewed from diagonally rear and above.

[0041] As shown in Figures 3 and 18 to 29, the valve unit 26 is assembled from above to the left side of the base member 24 when viewed from the front. This valve unit 26 comprises an upstream water supply pipe 114, a valve unit body 116 including a tank water supply solenoid valve 30 and a rim water discharge solenoid valve 32, a tank water supply pipe 118, a rim water discharge pipe 120, a lower cover member 122, an upper cover member 124, and a valve heater device 126.

[0042] First, the upstream water supply pipe 114 is connected to the valve unit body 116 on its downstream side, while its upstream side is connected to the constant flow valve 28, and is arranged to extend generally in the vertical direction. Next, the water supply pipe 118 for tank water supply and the water supply pipe 120 for rim discharge are connected, on their upstream sides, to the tank water supply solenoid valve 30 and the rim discharge solenoid valve 32 of the valve unit body 116, respectively. On the other hand, the downstream ends of the water supply pipe 118 for tank water supply and the water supply pipe 120 for rim discharge are connected to a part of the tank cover member 128, which is an exterior member that covers the upper part of the water storage tank 22 of the tank device 4 (see Figures 27 and 28), and are arranged to extend generally in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the lower cover member 122 is an exterior cover member that covers roughly the lower half of the valve unit body 116 in the vertical direction from both sides, and is fixed to a part of the base member 24. As a result, the valve unit 26 is fixed to the base member 24 via the lower cover member 122. Furthermore, a portion of the front end of the upper cover member 124 is hinged to the lower cover member 122, and the upper cover member 124 is rotatably mounted to the lower cover member 122. These upper and lower cover members 122 and 124 cover approximately the left outer half of the valve unit body 116 from both the upper and lower directions (see Figure 22).

[0043] Next, the valve heater device 126 comprises a heater body 126a positioned on the outer surface of the casing 130 of the valve unit body 116, and a harness member 60 for the valve heater connected to the heater body 126a (see Figure 19). Furthermore, as shown in Figure 20, a hook portion 122a is provided on the front side of the inner half of the lower cover member 122. The harness member 60 for the valve heater is wrapped around the outer surface 122b of the inner half of the lower cover member 122, and then attached to the hook portion 122a. The connector 78 (second connector 78b) at the end of the harness member 60 for the valve heater is connected to the connector 78 (first connector 78a) at one end 58a of the harness member 58 extending from the toilet heater device 54 side at the electrical component mounting portion 62. In other words, the hook portion 122a of the lower cover member 122 is provided on a part of the lower cover member 122 so as to be located below the upper surface 10a of the rim portion 10 of the toilet bowl body 2, and functions as a mounting portion to which a part of the harness member 60 for the valve heater is attached and fixed.

[0044] Next, as shown in Figures 18 and 23 to 26, the lower cover member 122 is provided with a winding section 122c on the front side adjacent to the hook section 122a in the inner half of the lower cover member 122, for winding multiple wires 98a of the harness member 98 connected to the power connection section 96 of the local cleaning device 6. This winding portion 122c protrudes outward from the outer surface 122b of the lower cover member 122, and is then bent diagonally backward so that its tip faces the outer surface 122b. As a result, a through hole 122d is formed between the outer surface 122b of the lower cover member 122 and the inner surface of the winding portion 122c facing it, with the rear side and vertical direction open. Multiple wires 98a of the harness member 98 extending from the power connection part 96 of the local cleaning device 6 to the valve unit 26 are inserted into the insertion hole 122d of the winding part 122c from top to bottom. Subsequently, the multiple electric wires 98a are routed around the outside of the winding section 122c from bottom to top, thereby being wound around the winding section 122c, and then separated into multiple electric wires 98b, 98c, and 98d.

[0045] Next, as shown in Figures 3, 18, 21, and 23 to 29, of the multiple electric wires 98a wound around the winding section 122c, the connectors 132 at the ends of some of the multiple electric wires 98b are connected to the tank water supply solenoid valve 30 (see Figure 21). On the other hand, for other wires 98c among the multiple wires 98a, the connectors 134 at their ends are connected to the solenoid valve 32 for rim water discharge (see Figure 21). Here, when the connectors 134 at the ends of the multiple electric wires 98c are connected to the solenoid valve 32 for rim water discharge, the multiple electric wires 98c and their connectors 134 are wound around the winding section 122c and then routed to pass between the two solenoid valves 30 and 32 (see Figure 21).

[0046] Furthermore, some of the remaining wires 98d of the multiple wires 98a have their wires 98e attached via connectors 136 to a first electrical component mounting section 138 (details will be described later) of a part of the tank cover member 128 of the tank device 4 (see Figures 27 to 29). Meanwhile, the remaining wires 98f of the multiple wires 98d are attached via the connector 140 to a second electrical component mounting section 142 (details will be described later) of a part of the tank cover member 128 of the tank device 4 (see Figures 27 to 29). The ends of the wires 98e and 98f extending from the connectors 136 and 140 attached to the electrical component mounting sections 138 and 142 are connected to the float switch 38 (see Figure 27).

[0047] Next, as shown in Figures 2 and 27 to 29, the tank device 4 includes a water supply section 144 located to the left of the tank cover member 128 that covers the top of the water storage tank 22. This water supply section 144 includes a tank water supply side connection section 144a and a rim water supply side connection section 144b, to which the tank water supply pipe 118 and the rim water discharge pipe 120 are connected, respectively. In this embodiment, the water supply unit 144 of the tank device 4 is described as being located above the upper surface 10a of the rim portion 10 of the toilet bowl body 2. However, the embodiment is not limited to this configuration, and the water supply unit 144 may be located at the same height as the upper surface 10a of the rim portion 10 of the toilet bowl body 2, or it may be located below the upper surface 10a of the rim portion 10 of the toilet bowl body 2.

[0048] Next, with reference to Figures 27 to 29, the details of the electrical component mounting sections 138 and 142 on the tank cover member 128 of the tank device 4, to which the connectors 136 and 140 for each of the electric wires 98e and 98f are attached, will be described. First, as shown in Figures 27 to 29, the water supply section 144 of the tank device 4 is equipped with a water passage 144d that extends upstream from the tank water supply side connection section 144a and is connected to the tank water supply pipe 118, and also extends downstream from the tank water supply side connection section 144a and is connected to the water supply head section 144c. The cleaning water supplied from the water supply source 44, such as a water supply, to the tank water supply pipe 118 passes through the water passage 144d and is supplied into the water storage tank 22 from the water supply head section 144c. Furthermore, the electrical component mounting sections 138 and 142 on the tank cover member 128 of the tank device 4, to which the connectors 136 and 140 of the electric wires 98e and 98f are attached, are located above the height position P1 of the uppermost end 144e of the water passage 144d of the water supply section 144 (see Figure 28).

[0049] Next, as shown in Figures 27 to 29, each electrical component mounting section 138, 142 is provided on a part of the upper surface 128a of the tank cover member 128 of the tank device 4. More specifically, each electrical component mounting section 138, 142 is provided with a common partition wall 146 that is formed to protrude upward from a part of the upper surface 128a of the tank cover member 128 and extend in the front-to-back direction, thereby separating them from each other in the left-to-right direction. Furthermore, the first electrical component mounting section 138 includes a front wall 148 and a rear wall 150, which are integrally provided with the partition wall 146 at a distance in the front-rear direction from the partition wall 146, so that the connector 136 can be housed there. On the other hand, the second electrical component mounting section 142 is equipped with a front wall 152 that is integrally provided extending to the left from the partition wall 146 so as to accommodate the connector 140. This front wall 152 is positioned slightly forward of the front wall 148 of the first electrical component mounting section 138. Each of the partition walls 146, front walls 148, 152, and rear wall 150 relating to these electrical component mounting sections 138, 142 are provided adjacent to each connector 136, 140 on at least one of the lateral, front, or rear sides, and form a side wall portion that protrudes from a part of the upper surface 128a of the tank cover member 128.

[0050] Next, as shown in Figures 27 to 29, the front wall 148 and rear wall 150 of the first electrical component mounting section 138, and the front wall 152 of the second electrical component mounting section 142, respectively, have vertical grooves 154, 156, and 158 cut downward from their upper ends for a predetermined length. Furthermore, a side wall 160 is integrally formed on the front wall 148 of the first electrical component mounting section 138, extending forward from its right end. A vertical groove 162 is also formed on this side wall 160, cut downward from its upper end for a predetermined length. Here, in the vertical groove 156 of the rear wall 150 of the first electrical component mounting portion 138, multiple electric wires 98e of the harness member 98 are inserted and held. Furthermore, in the vertical groove 154 of the front wall 148 of the first electrical component mounting section 138, multiple electric wires 98g of a harness member 98, one end of which is connected to the connector 136, are inserted and held. Furthermore, in the vertical groove 158 of the front wall 152 of the second electrical component mounting section 142, multiple electric wires 98h of a harness member 98, one end of which is connected to the connector 140, are inserted and held. Furthermore, each of the multiple electric wires 98g of the harness member 98 that is inserted through the vertical groove 154 of the front wall 148 of the first electrical component mounting section 138, and each of the multiple electric wires 98h of the harness member 98 that is inserted through the vertical groove 158 of the front wall 152 of the second electrical component mounting section 142, is held by being inserted through the vertical groove 162 of the front side wall 160 of the first electrical component mounting section 138, and then its end is connected to a float switch 38 located above the water storage tank 22.

[0051] Next, as shown in Figures 27 and 29, the tank cover member 128 has a rear hook portion 164 on its upper surface 128a, which is rearward of the first electrical component mounting portion 138 and the second electrical component mounting portion 142. This rear hook portion 164 protrudes outward to the rear and then bends in a direction perpendicular to the direction of protrusion (rearward) (to the right when viewing the tank cover member 128 from the front) to form a hook shape. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 27 and 29, the tank cover member 128 has a left-side hook portion 166 that protrudes outward (to the left) from the left side portion 128b, which is adjacent to the upper surface 128a, and then bends in a direction perpendicular to the direction of protrusion (rearward) to form a hook shape. These hook portions 164 and 166 are part of the mounting portions of the first electrical component mounting portion 138 and the second electrical component mounting portion 142, respectively, which function to organize the multiple electric wires 98d of the harness member 98. Here, the multiple wires 98d of the harness member 98, which extend upward from the valve unit 26 side below the tank cover member 128, are routed towards the rear hook portion 164 after being inserted through the left side hook portion 166. After passing through the rear hook section 164, the multiple wires 98d are arranged to connect to a multiple wire 98e that is attached to a connector 136 that is attached to the first electrical component mounting section 138, and to connect to a multiple wire 98f that is attached to a connector 140 that is attached to the second electrical component mounting section 142.

[0052] Incidentally, as shown in Figure 27, the loop-shaped drain valve side connecting portion 52c of the power outage operation member 52, which is attached to the non-electrical component mounting portion 64 of the base member 24, is connected to the lever 48a of the lifting operation portion 48 of the tank device 4. In other words, a portion of the lever 48a of the lifting operation part 48 of the tank device 4 also serves as a non-electrical component mounting part to which the drain valve side connecting part 52c of the power outage operation member 52 is attached.

[0053] Next, with reference to Figures 1 to 29, the operation of the flush toilet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above will be explained. First, according to the flush toilet 1 of this embodiment, mounting parts 62, 86, 88, 102, 104, 106, 122a, 122c, 138, 142, 164, 166 to which harness members 58, 60, 98, which are elongated members connected to electrical components, are attached, and mounting parts 64, 90, 92, 94 to which a power outage operation member 52, which is an elongated member connected to non-electrical components, is attached, are provided on the tank device 4 and the local flushing device 6, or on a part of the exterior members 24, 100, 122, 128 of these functional parts 4 and 6. Therefore, the risk of exposure of the elongated harness members 58, 60, 98 and the power outage control member 52 is reduced, and they can be securely fixed or housed in the functional parts 4, 6 or parts of their exterior members 24, 100, 122, 128. Therefore, the routing of harness members 58, 60, 98 and power outage operation member 52, which are multiple elongated members connected to electrical or non-electrical components, can be arranged with respect to the functional units 4, 6 or their exterior members 24, 100, 122, 128. Furthermore, since it becomes more difficult to accidentally touch the elongated harness members 58, 60, 98 and the power outage control member 52, the risk of the harness members 58, 60, 98 and the power outage control member 52 becoming detached or damaged can be reduced.

[0054] Next, according to the flush toilet 1 of this embodiment, the tank device 4, which is the functional part, can be fixed to the toilet body 2 via the base member 24. Furthermore, since the mounting portions 62, 86, 88, 102, 104, 106, 122a, and 122c to which the elongated harness members 58, 60, and 98 are attached are provided on a part of the base member 24 so as to be located below the upper surface 10a of the rim portion 10 of the toilet bowl body 2, the risk of the elongated members being exposed can be reduced. Therefore, the harness members 58, 60, and 98 can be securely fixed or housed in a part of the base member 24, while making it difficult to accidentally touch the harness members 58, 60, and 98. Therefore, the risk of harness components 58, 60, and 98 becoming detached or damaged can be reduced.

[0055] Furthermore, in the flush toilet 1 according to this embodiment, the functional tank device 4 is equipped with a valve unit 26 that supplies or stops water to the toilet body 2, and its exterior member is a cover member 122 that covers the valve unit 26. Furthermore, since mounting portions 122a and 122c for arranging and attaching the harness member 98 to the cover member 122 are provided on a part of the cover member such that they are located below the upper surface 10a of the rim portion 10 of the toilet bowl body 2, the risk of the harness member 98 being exposed can be reduced. Therefore, the harness member 98 can be securely fixed to or housed in relation to some of the mounting portions 122a and 122c of the cover member 122. Therefore, the risk of the slender components coming loose or breaking can be reduced.

[0056] Furthermore, according to the flush toilet 1 of this embodiment, the harness member 58 that supplies power to the electrical components can be routed from below the base member 24, inserted through the insertion hole 76 of the base member 24, and then securely attached to the mounting parts 62, 86, and 88. Therefore, the risk of exposure to the harness member 58 is reduced, and it becomes more difficult to touch it unintentionally. Therefore, the risk of harness components 58 and 60 becoming detached or damaged can be reduced. Furthermore, since the harness members 58 and 60 are routed from below the base member 24 and inserted through the base member 24, and then the connector 78 is housed and attached in the mounting parts 62, 86, and 88, the base member 24 can prevent water from getting onto the harness members 58 and 60 from above.
