Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To keep a striding height low and permit drainage by remote control by connecting a wire for transmitting the opening/closing of a drain cock to a drain mechanism through a drain trap portion installed to a lower portion of a floor pan. SOLUTION: After installing a main body 1 of a bathtub set with bathtub drain fittings on a floor pan 11a at the bathtub installation side, a remote operating portion is attached to the surface of a bathtub rim. After penetrating a wire 8 from the center of the operating portion and fixing, it is coupled to a mechanical BOX3 in drain cock opening/closing mechanism through a trap 12 below a bathtub drain outlet, after inserting a water-tight lid 4, a rubber bush 9 is screwed. By doing this, the striding height can be restricted low, and a burden when getting in to or out from the bathtub can be eased. Also, bathtub drainage can be made possible by the remote operation, and the drainage by hitching the foot or hand can be eliminated by omitting a chain connected to the drain cock.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drainage structure for a unit bath in which a bathtub is installed on a floor pan, and more particularly, to a bathtub having a function of opening and closing a drainage plug attached to the bottom of the bathtub by remote control. The present invention relates to a method of connecting a remotely operated drain plug of a unit bath provided with a direct drainage structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the prior art, an operation unit for remotely operating a bathtub body 151, a transmission unit for opening and closing a bathtub drainage plug, and a drainage plug are integrally assembled, and the floor pan 150 constituting a unit bath is assembled with the above-mentioned unit. The bathtub body 151 after the assembling was installed.

[0003]

In the prior art, an operation unit for remotely operating a bathtub, a transmission unit for opening and closing a bathtub drainage plug, and a drainage plug are integrally assembled, and then a floor pan of a unit bath is assembled. Since the bathtub after the integral assembly was installed in the bathtub, the drainage elbow was protected by using a drainage cloth so as not to damage the connection part between the bathtub drainage plug and the transmission unit that can open and close the bathtub drainage plug when installing the bathtub. Had to drain through. In recent years, aging has progressed, and a bathtub drain plug that can be remotely controlled has been eagerly desired for a unit bath with a reduced step difference between entrances and exits, and a unit bath that has a reduced height from a washing place to a bathtub. This is because when an elderly person cleans a bathtub, the bathtub drain cock can be easily opened and closed by remote control without taking an excessive posture.

However, in the prior art, after an operation unit for remotely controlling the bathtub body, a transmission unit for opening and closing the bathtub drainage plug, and a drainage plug are integrally assembled, the bathtub is installed on the floor pan of the unit bath. Because it was necessary to protect the connection part between the bathtub drain plug and the transmission part that can open and close the bathtub drainage when installing the bathtub, it was necessary to protect it using a drainage cloth so that the drainage cloth could be included Clearance that can be installed on the back side of the bathtub is required, and the height of the bathtub installation is increased. This has the effect of increasing the stride height from the direct washing area to the bathtub.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a unit bath in which the height of the unit bath from the washing place to the bathtub is kept low and the drain plug of the bathtub can be opened and closed by remote control. To provide a connection method.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems and Actions and Effects There is provided a drain trap having a wire for transmitting the opening and closing of a drain plug by remote control attached to a lower portion of a floor pan. The drainage can be connected to the drainage opening / closing structure through the through hole, and the drainage can be performed by remote control without taking an unreasonable posture during drainage.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to further clarify the configuration and operation of the present invention described above, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below. Floor pan 1 on the bathtub side of the unit bath
After installing the bathtub main body 1 on which the bathtub drainage fitting is set on 1a, the remote control portion is mounted on the bathtub rim surface. After penetrating the wire 8 from the center of the operation part and fixing it, it is connected to the mechanical box 3 in the drain cock opening / closing mechanism part through the trap 12 under the bath tub outlet, the sealing lid 4 is inserted, and water leaks from the cover 10. In order to prevent the drainage, the rubber bush 9 can be screwed and drained by remote control, and the drain of the bathtub can be opened and closed by remote control without taking an unreasonable posture during drainage. The factor that causes the drain plug to catch the drainage and drain the drainage is eliminated, and the drainage from the bathtub does not leak on the backside of the bathtub. it can. Further, the height of the bathtub between the upper surface of the bathtub body 1 and the upper surface of the floor pan 11 can be set low.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the following effects are exhibited by the above configuration. ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the bathtub installation height can be suppressed to the maximum by connecting the drainage tap transmission wire through the drainage trap part attached to the lower part of the floor pan, and connecting to the drainage opening / closing mechanism. .

Further, by setting the height of the bathtub to be set low, the height of the straddling the bathtub can be kept low, so that the burden of lifting the feet when entering and leaving the bathtub can be reduced, and the bathtub can be placed inside the bathtub. It is now possible to eliminate the spikes connected to the drain plug, and it is no longer necessary to hook and drain with hands and feet. Further, in the cold winter season, the bathtub can be drained remotely from the dressing room side without entering the bathroom.
