Description

[Detailed description of the invention] A. Purpose of the invention Industrial application field This invention relates to a Western-style flush toilet (flush toilet equipped with a seated toilet) that is especially suitable for homes or hospitals where there are people in need of care.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY Currently, in many Western-style flush toilets installed in homes or hospitals, a seated toilet is installed close to the back wall of the toilet, and flush water is discharged into the seated toilet in a horizontal direction along the toilet wall. This is done through a low tank type cistern that is connected to the washing water supply pipe that passes through it.

Problems that the invention aims to solve In the Western-style flush toilet with the above configuration, the presence of a flush water supply pipe and a low tank type cistern that penetrate the toilet wall in a horizontal direction makes it inconvenient for people who require nursing care to use the toilet. , increasing the labor burden on caregivers. To improve this point, it would be possible to change the installation condition of the water supply system, including the flush water supply pipe and cistern, so that the caregiver can move freely around the seated toilet. must not impair the cleaning function of the cleaning water. The above improvement can be achieved by installing a high-tank cistern instead of the low-tank cistern, and by aligning the flushing water flow path from the high-tank cistern to the seated toilet along the walls and floor of the toilet. Due to the altitude difference between the location of the flush water inlet of the seated toilet and the location of the floor of the toilet room, the pipe between the flush water inlet of the seated toilet and the floor will be closed after the flush water is discharged. Washing water remains in an undischarged state, and this undischarged residual washing water reduces the flow rate of the next washing water discharge, reducing the cleaning effect.

B. Means for solving the structural problems of the invention The invention according to the present invention allows the flushing water supply flow path from the high tank type cistern to the seated toilet bowl to pass through a part of the flow channel under the toilet floor, and A space is provided to allow the caregiver to freely move around the toilet in either the forward or reverse direction, and a drain pipe is installed through a thin tube to connect the above-mentioned area on the wash water supply flow path that passes under the toilet floor. It is characterized by being connected to.

Function The flush toilet according to the present invention has the purpose of allowing the caregiver to move freely around the seated toilet in either the forward or reverse direction without reducing the flushing effect of the toilet. The first condition is that a part of the flow path passes under the toilet floor, and the part of the wash water supply flow path that passes under the toilet floor is a thin tube. This is achieved in conjunction with the second condition of communicating with the drain pipe through the drain pipe.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing an example of a Western-style flush toilet according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional plan view of the toilet seat shown in FIG. 1 with the toilet seat omitted.

In these figures, 1 is the toilet room, 2 is the door,
3, 4, 5, and 6 are the ceiling, both side walls, floor, and back wall of the toilet, and 8 is a seated toilet.

Supply of flushing water to the seated toilet bowl 8 is carried out through a flushing pipe 10 from a high tank type cistern 9 arranged in a corner near the ceiling 3 of the toilet room 1. Cleaning pipe 10
descends along the corner of the toilet room 1, passes under the floor 7, then penetrates the floor 7 and rises up. 11
is a connecting portion of the flush pipe 10 to the seat toilet bowl 8. The connecting portion 11 is provided facing downward at the front or rear portion of the seated toilet bowl 8.

D is the distance between the back wall 6 and the seated toilet bowl 8, and this distance D is set to a size that does not obstruct the passage of the caregiver.

A thin tube 13 is provided which communicates the lowest part of the cleaning pipe 10 with the drain pipe 12 in order to discharge the cleaning water remaining in the cleaning pipe 10 after the washing water is discharged. When flushing water is discharged to the seated toilet bowl 8, the thin tube 13
The amount of wash water that flows in a short circuit to the drain pipe 12 via the drain pipe 12 is extremely small.

C. Effect of the invention The Western-style flush toilet according to the invention is not only used in a normal manner as a general purpose toilet, but is also particularly useful in homes or hospitals where there are people in need of care. In other words, it has the effect of significantly reducing the force that a caregiver must apply to the person requiring care when using the toilet in a home or hospital where the person is present. In addition, the Western-style flush toilet according to the present invention is intended to reduce the number of times the toilet is soiled by the person requiring care, and also to allow the caregiver to easily observe the feces and clean the toilet room.
