[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] Embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the front-to-back direction as viewed from a person sitting on the toilet seat (not shown) of the toilet device 1 will be referred to as the front-to-back direction, and the left-to-right direction as viewed from a person sitting on the toilet seat will be referred to as the left-to-right direction X. One side of the left-to-right direction X will be referred to as side X1, and the other side of the left-to-right direction X will be referred to as side X2. The up-and-down direction along the vertical direction from the toilet bowl 2 to the toilet lid 4 will be referred to as the up-and-down direction.

[0009] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the toilet device 1 of this embodiment comprises a ceramic or resin toilet bowl 2, a toilet seat (not shown), a toilet lid 4, a base plate 5 (base member), and a toilet flushing device 7. The toilet seat and toilet lid 4 are rotatably mounted above the toilet bowl 2.

[0010] As shown in Figure 1, the base plate 5 is positioned on the upper rear of the toilet bowl 2. Functional components such as the toilet flushing device 7 and electrical components are placed on the base plate 5.

[0011] The toilet flushing device 7 flushes the toilet bowl 2 when the user operates the flushing lever 7a. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the toilet flushing device 7 comprises a flushing tank 71 (first water usage section), a cover member 72, a hand-washing section 73, and a water supply mechanism 8 (second water usage section) (see Figure 2). The cover member 72 is provided to cover the flushing tank 71. The hand-washing section 73 is positioned above the cover member 72.

[0012] The cleaning tank 71 and the water supply mechanism 8 are positioned above the base plate 5, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. The cleaning tank 71 is positioned near the center of the base plate 5. The water supply mechanism 8 is positioned on one side X1 in the left-right direction X of the base plate 5.

[0013] As shown in Figure 2, the water supply mechanism 8 comprises a branching mechanism 81 and a water supply valve 82. The branching mechanism 81 is located on the rear side of one side X1 in the left-right direction X of the base plate 5. The water supply valve 82 is located on the front side of the branching mechanism 81 on one side X1 in the left-right direction X of the base plate 5.

[0014] The branching mechanism 81 branches the water supplied from below via the hose 83 to the washing tank 71 side and to the sanitary washing device (not shown) side. The tank-side supply pipe 84 is connected to the washing tank 71 side of the branching mechanism 81. The sanitary washing device (not shown) side of the branching mechanism 81 is connected to the sanitary washing device (not shown) side via the water supply valve 82, and the sanitary washing device-side supply pipe 85 is connected to it.

[0015] The water flow structure in the base plate 5 will now be described. As shown in Figure 3, the base plate 5 has a pair of first compartments 51A and 51B and a second compartment 52. In this embodiment, as will be described later, a washing tank 71 is arranged in the pair of first compartments 51A and 51B. A water supply mechanism 8 is arranged in the second compartment 52. In other words, different water-using parts (washing tank 71 and water supply mechanism 8) are arranged in the pair of first compartments 51A and 51B and the second compartment 52.

[0016] The pair of first compartments 51A and 51B are positioned on the base plate 5 below the cleaning tank 71. In other words, the cleaning tank 71 is positioned in the pair of first compartments 51A and 51B. The pair of first compartments 51A and 51B are configured to receive condensation water from the cleaning tank 71. The pair of first compartments are positioned on both the left and right sides of the tank opening 5a, which is formed in the center of the base plate 5 in the left-right direction X, near the center of the base plate 5 in the left-right direction X. One of the first compartments 51A is positioned on one side X1 in the left-right direction X with respect to the tank opening 5a. The other first compartment 51B is positioned on the other side X2 in the left-right direction X with respect to the tank opening 5a. The drain port at the lower end of the cleaning tank 71 is positioned in the tank opening 5a.

[0017] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, a drain hole 511A (drain hole) is provided on the central side of the first compartment 51A on one side in the left-right direction X. The drain hole 511A on one side communicates with the toilet bowl of the toilet 2 located below the base plate 5. The first compartment 51A on one side has a first compartment inclined bottom surface 512A (first path side inclined bottom surface) on one side that slopes downward toward the drain hole 511A on one side. The first compartment inclined bottom surface 512A on one side slopes downward toward the center in the left-right direction X. In Figures 4 and 5, the direction of inclination of the first compartment inclined bottom surface 512A on one side is indicated by a dashed-dotted arrow line, which represents that it slopes downward toward the arrow side.

[0018] On the center side in the left - right direction X of the other - side first partition portion 51B, as shown in FIG. 4, a drain hole 511B on the other side is provided. The drain hole 511B on the other side communicates with the toilet bowl of the toilet 2. The other - side first partition portion 51B has an inclined bottom surface 512B that slopes downward toward the drain hole 511B on the other side. In FIG. 4, the inclined direction of the other - side first partition inclined bottom surface 512B is indicated by a dashed - dotted arrow line that slopes downward as it goes toward the arrow side.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 3, the second partition portion 52 is arranged below the water supply mechanism 8 on one side X1 in the left - right direction X of the base plate 5. That is, the water supply mechanism 8 is arranged in the second partition portion 52. The second partition portion 52 is configured to be able to receive the leaked water from the water supply mechanism 8. The second partition portion 52 is arranged outside one side X1 in the left - right direction X of the one - side first partition portion 51A.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the second partition portion 52 and the one - side first partition portion 51A are partitioned by a partition wall 55. An outer peripheral wall portion 56 is formed on the outer edge of the second partition portion 52. A notch portion 551 for allowing water to flow from the second partition portion 52 to the one - side first partition portion 51A is formed in the partition wall 55.

[0021] In the second partition portion 52 of the base plate 5, it is divided into three partitions (second A partition 521, second B partition 522, second C partition 523) by the first rib 581 and the second rib 582. The first rib 581 and the second rib 582 are formed lower than the partition wall 55 and the outer peripheral wall portion 56.

[0022] The second A partition 521 is arranged on the rear side in the front - rear direction on one side X1 in the left - right direction X of the base plate 5. The second B partition 522 is arranged on the front side of the second A partition 521 on one side X1 in the left - right direction X of the base plate 5. The second C partition 523 is arranged on the center side in the left - right direction X of the second B partition 522 at the front - end side of the second B partition 522.

[0023] The first rib 581 separates section 2A 521 from section 2B 522. The second rib 582 separates section 2B 522 from section 2C 523. The heights of the first rib 581 and the second rib 582 are formed lower than the heights of the partition wall 55 and the outer peripheral wall 56. In section 2B 522, the partition wall 55 has a notch 551 that connects section 2B 522 to one side of section 1 51A.

[0024] Sections 2A 521, 2B 522, and 2C 523 each have inclined bottom surfaces 521a, 522a, and 523a, respectively, which slope downwards from one side X1 in the left-right direction X toward the center. The inclined bottom surface 522a of section 2B 522 (the inclined bottom surface on the second path side) slopes downwards toward the first section 51A on one side in the second section 52. In Figures 4 and 5, the direction of inclination of the inclined bottom surfaces 521a, 522a, and 523a is indicated by dashed-dotted arrows, which represent that the slope slopes downwards toward the arrow side.

[0025] When the water from the water supply mechanism 8 received in section 2A 521 reaches a water level higher than the height of the first rib 581, it flows over the first rib 581 and into section 2B 522. When the water from the water supply mechanism 8 received in section 2C 523 reaches a water level higher than the height of the second rib 582, it flows over the second rib 582 and into section 2B 522.

[0026] The water received in section 2B 522 from the water supply mechanism 8 and the water guided into section 2B 522 are led through the inclined bottom surface 522a to the notch 551. The water that has passed through the notch 551 is led through the first section 51A on one side to the drain hole 511A on the other side.

[0027] The water paths through the pair of first compartments 51A, 51B and the second compartment 52, which are configured as described above, will now be explained. As shown in Figure 4, the base plate 5 has a pair of first paths R1A, R1B and a second path R2 formed therein.

[0028] A pair of first paths R1A and R1B guide water received in a pair of first compartments 51A and 51B to drainage holes 511A and 511B. The pair of first paths R1A and R1B have a first path R1A on one side and a first path R1B on the other side. In the first path R1A on one side, water received in the first compartment 51A on one side passes through the inclined bottom surface 512A of the first compartment and is guided to the drainage hole 511A on one side. In the first path R1B on the other side, water received in the first compartment 51B on the other side passes through the inclined bottom surface 512B and is guided to the drainage hole 511B on the other side.

[0029] The second path R2 guides the water received in the second compartment 52 through the first compartment 51A on one side to the drain hole 511A on the other side.

[0030] In the second path R2, when the water received in the second A section 521 and the second C section 523 of the second compartment 52 accumulates to a height higher than the height of the first rib 581 and the second rib 582, the water flows over the first rib 581 or the second rib 582 and into the second B section 521. The water received in the second B section 522 of the second compartment 52, and the water that has flowed into the second B section 522 from the second A section 521 and the second C section 523, moves through the inclined bottom surface 522a toward the notch 551 of the partition wall 55.

[0031] Then, in the second path R2, the water that has moved toward the notch 551 of the partition wall 55 passes through the notch 551 and moves toward the first compartment 51A on one side. The water that passes through the first compartment 51A on one side passes through the inclined bottom surface 512A of the first compartment on one side and is guided toward the drain hole 511A on one side.

[0032] As described above, the base plate 5 has a first path R1A and a second path R2 configured on one side, so that the water received in the first compartment 51A on one side is drained to the drain hole 511A on one side via the first path R1A on one side, and drained to the drain hole 511A on one side via the second path R2 on one side. In other words, the water flowing through either the first path R1A or the second path R2 on one side can be drained into the toilet bowl of the toilet bowl 2 through the same drain hole 511A on one side.

[0033] The toilet device 1 of this embodiment, as described above, provides the following effects.

[0034] The toilet device 1 of this embodiment comprises a toilet bowl 2, a base plate 5 positioned at the rear of the toilet bowl 2, and a flushing tank 71 and a water supply mechanism 8 positioned above the base plate 5. The base member 5 has a first compartment 51A capable of receiving water from the flushing tank 71, a second compartment 52 capable of receiving water from the water supply mechanism 8, and a drain hole 511A formed in the first compartment 51A. The base plate 5 has a first path R1A on one side that guides the water received in the first compartment 51A to the drain hole 511A, and a second path R2 that guides the water received in the second compartment 52 through the first compartment 51A to the drain hole 511A on the other side.

[0035] As a result, water from the cleaning tank 71 is guided to the drain hole 511A on one side via the first path R1A on one side, and water from the water supply mechanism 8 is guided to the drain hole 511A on one side via the second path R2. Therefore, water from the two water-using parts (cleaning tank 71 and water supply mechanism 8) can be guided to the same drain hole 511A via their respective paths (first path R1A and second path R2 on one side) and drained. Thus, the drainage performance of the base plate 5 can be improved.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the partition wall 55 is formed with a notch 511 that allows water to flow from the second compartment 52 to the first compartment 51A on one side. This allows water to flow from the second compartment 52 to the first compartment 51A on one side, thereby further improving the drainage performance of the base plate 5.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the first path R1A on one side has a first compartment inclined bottom surface 512A on one side that slopes downward toward the drain hole 511A in the first compartment 51A on one side. This allows water to flow toward the drain hole 511A, thereby further improving the drainage performance of the base plate 5.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the second path R2 has an inclined bottom surface 522a in the second compartment 52 that slopes downward toward the first compartment 51A on one side. This allows water to flow toward the first compartment 51A on one side, thereby further improving the drainage performance of the base plate 5.

[0039] Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. The present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above and can be modified as appropriate.

[0040] For example, in the above embodiment, the first water usage section is configured as a washing tank, and the second water usage section is configured as a water supply mechanism. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the first water usage section and the second water usage section may be configured as washing nozzles or hot water tanks of a sanitary washing device.
