Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tank device on which a heat-insulating member can be installed so as not to form a void. SOLUTION: Since retaining sections 1 are projected in thickness slightly smaller than the thickness of a heat-insulating member 2, the heat-insulating member can be mounted so as to be fast stuck and pushed against the tank device 4 for stool water supply, and can be set up without forming a void between the tank device 4 for stool water supply and the heat-insulating member 2. Thus, the performance of the heat-insulating member 2 can be displayed sufficiently, and heat-insulating efficiency can be improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a heat retaining member to a tank device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a toilet water supply tank device for supplying water to a toilet is arranged inside a toilet device which is disposed at a rear portion of an upper surface of the toilet. Is provided with a heat retaining member, which can prevent dew condensation on the outer surface of the toilet water supply tank device. In the local cleaning device, a hot water tank device for storing the local cleaning water is provided as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, and a heat insulating member is similarly attached around the hot water tank device, so that the heat radiation from the hot water tank device is performed. Can be prevented.

[0003]

However, the heat retaining member disposed around the above-mentioned tank device for supplying water to the toilet bowl and for the hot water is simply attached around the periphery thereof, and these tank devices are provided with the same structure. An air gap is formed between the heat insulating member and the air, and the air that has been kept warm flows out of the air space due to convection, so that the heat insulating efficiency is reduced.

Further, in the mounting structure of the heat retaining member surrounding the periphery of the hot water tank device, there is a problem that wasteful power is consumed due to low heat retaining efficiency.

In addition, the recent development of a highly efficient heat insulating member having a very low thermal conductivity has made it possible to reduce the thickness of the heat insulating member. Could not sufficiently exhibit the low thermal conductivity performance. Furthermore, such a heat insulating member having a low thermal conductivity performance can be used in a thin wall, but because of the thin wall, rigidity is low, and a gap is easily formed due to loosening or breakage when attached to a tank device. was there.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a tank device to which a heat retaining member can be attached so as not to form the void.

[0007]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a toilet device which is disposed at a rear portion of an upper surface of a toilet, a tank device disposed inside the toilet device, and a side wall surface of the tank device. In a mounting structure of a heat retaining member to a tank device comprising a heat retaining member provided over the entire circumference, the heat retaining member is locked by a locking portion projecting from the tank device.

According to the present invention, the retaining portion projecting from the tank device allows the heat retaining member to be attached to and mounted on the tank device to be drawn to the tank device and brought into close contact with the tank device. In addition, the heat retention efficiency can be improved without generating a void.

Further, it is effective to keep the thinned and low-rigidity heat-insulating member in close contact with the tank device, and it is possible to sufficiently exhibit the performance of the heat-insulating member having the original low thermal conductivity performance.

Further, the invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that a fastening member is arranged around the outer periphery of the heat retaining member.

[0011] According to the present invention, at a location other than the portion locked by the locking portion of the heat retaining member mounted and mounted on the tank device, a gap generated by loosening and bending is removed from outside the heat retaining member. It can be suppressed and can further contribute to the improvement of the heat retention efficiency.

[0012]

1 and 2 show one embodiment of a mounting device for a toilet water supply tank device according to the first aspect of the present invention. 1 is a locking portion, 2 is a heat insulating member, 3 is a fastening member, 4
Is a toilet water supply tank device.

As shown in FIG. 2, a toilet water supply tank device 4 is provided.
The protrusion 1 protrudes slightly smaller than the thickness of the heat retaining member 2. The heat retaining member 2 is assembled so as to be sandwiched between the upper and lower portions of the protruding locking portion 1. Since the locking portion 1 projects slightly smaller than the thickness of the heat retaining member 2, it can be attached so as to be pressed against the toilet water supply tank device 4 in close contact with the toilet water supply tank device 4. It can be mounted without generating a gap between them. Thereby, the performance of the heat retaining member 2 can be sufficiently exhibited, and the heat retaining efficiency can be improved. In addition, if the heat retaining member 2 is covered with the toilet water supply tank 4 to a height substantially equal to the height of the water surface for storing the water inside, the heat retaining efficiency is good.

FIGS. 3 and 5 show an embodiment of the mounting structure according to the second aspect of the present invention applied to a hot water tank device. 5 is a tank device for hot water.

As shown in FIG. 5, the locking portion 1 protruding from the hot water tank device 5 is configured to sandwich the heat retaining member 2 similarly to the above-mentioned toilet water supply tank device. The locking portions 1 formed above and below the hot water tank 5 hold the upper and lower portions of the heat retaining member 2 interposed therebetween, but the intermediate portion 6 of the heat retaining member 2 that is not held by the locking portion 1. The holding member 3 is attached from the outside of the heat retaining member 2 in order to hold This makes it possible to compensate for the lack of rigidity of the heat retaining member 2 and to suppress a gap generated due to looseness or breakage, thereby further contributing to an improvement in heat retaining efficiency.

Although the fastening member 3 is shown only in the hot water tank device 5, it may be provided in the toilet water supply tank device. 1 and FIG. 5 show that the upper and lower ends of the heat retaining member 2 are held by the locking portions 1, however, as shown in FIG. The locking portion 1 may be configured to penetrate the heat retaining member 2.
