Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to the washing area floor of a bathroom, and the washing area floor is heated with hot water from a hot water supply pipe, so that the washing area floor can be comfortably bathed in winter.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, as a washing area floor that can be heated with hot water from a hot water supply pipe, for example,
As described in Japanese Patent No. 16911, there is known a system in which hot water is sprayed onto the washing area floor from a spout of a hot water supply pipe installed on the side of the washing area to warm the washing area floor.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the case where the hot water spouted from the spout of the hot water pipe installed on the side of the washing area is sprayed onto the washing area floor to warm the washing area floor, the hot water pipe is covered with a pipe cover. The area of the washing area 3 is reduced by the area occupied by the hot water supply pipe and the piping cover, making the washing area 3 narrow and cramped, making it impossible to escape from the pressure caused by the piping cover and making it impossible to take a bath comfortably.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention solves the above-mentioned problems with the conventional washing area floor that can be heated with hot water from hot water pipes. A groove is installed near the high point of the washing area floor with a water collection and drainage outlet installed at a low point, a hot water supply pipe is installed in the groove, a spout is provided in the hot water supply pipe, and the groove and hot water supply pipe are The washing area floor of a bathroom is characterized in that it is covered with a screen and hot water gushing out from a spout is sprayed onto the washing area floor through gaps in the screen.

As for the water collection/drainage port provided at a low place on the floor of the washing area, a groove may be provided at the low place and a drain port may be provided at the bottom of the groove as in the illustrated embodiment, or alternatively, a drain port may simply be provided at the low place.

It is desirable for sanitary reasons that the groove into which the hot water supply pipe is installed has a drain port at the bottom so that water can be drained through the drain pipe, as in the illustrated embodiment.

[Function] In the present invention, a slope is provided so that water flows from a high place to a low place, and a groove is provided near the high place of the washing area floor with a water collection and drainage outlet at the low place. A hot water supply pipe is installed in the washing area, and the hot water supply pipe is equipped with a spout, and the hot water spouted from the spout flows from a high place on the washing area floor to a low place.
The washing area floor is heated by hot water spouted from the spout, and despite the presence of hot water pipes, the area of the washing area is not reduced in any way and the washing area can be used widely. Moreover, since the groove in which the hot water supply pipe is installed is covered with a screen, the hot water supply pipe is not exposed, there is no fear of stepping into the groove, and the appearance is clean. Furthermore, even if some of the hot water that is ejected from the spout at the start or end of spouting does not reach the washing area floor, it is collected in the groove.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing an example of the washing area floor of the present invention, Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the main part, and Fig.
The figure is a sectional view.

In these figures, 1 is a bathtub, 2 is a washing area floor, and both the bathtub 1 and the washing area floor 2 are integrally made of FRP.

21 is a groove provided on the entrance side of the washing area floor 2;
A groove 2 is provided at the boundary between the washing area floor 2 and the bathtub 1, and is covered by screens 3, 3, respectively.

A raised part 23 is provided between a groove 21 provided on the entrance side of the washing area floor 2 and the washing area floor 2.

4 is a hot water supply pipe installed in the groove 21 on the inlet side, and there are spout nozzles 41 projecting obliquely upward in places;
41,... are provided, and the jet nozzles 41, 41,
Hot water gushes out from the spout at the tip of the screen and is sprayed onto the washing area floor 2 via the gap between the screens 3.

The washing area floor 2 has a gentle downward slope from the vicinity of the groove 21 on the entrance side to the vicinity of the groove 22 at the boundary with the bathtub 1, and the hot water spouted from the jet nozzles 41, 41, . . . flows into the groove on the entrance side. The water flows in the direction of the arrow a from around 21 to around the groove 22 at the boundary with the bathtub 1, is collected in the groove 22, and is drained from a drain port (not shown) provided at the bottom of the groove 22. .

One end of the hot water supply pipe 4 is connected to a three-way valve 5, and its tip is connected to a hot water supply pipe 41 and a drain pipe 42, and the hot water supply pipe 41 is connected to a boiler (not shown), so that hot water is supplied from the boiler.

A drain port (not shown) is provided at the bottom of the groove 21, and a trap 2 is installed at the drain port as shown in FIG.
A drain pipe 212 is connected through the groove 11 so that water accumulated in the groove 21 can be drained.

Note that 6 is a threshold provided at the bathroom entrance.

When heating the washing area floor 2, the three-way valve 5 is opened and hot water is jetted from the jetting nozzles 41, 41, . . . to flow over the washing area floor 2 for the required time. When the washing area floor 2 becomes sufficiently warm, the three-way valve 5 is closed to stop spouting hot water.

[Effect of idea]

In this invention, a slope is provided so that water flows from a high place to a low place, and a groove is provided near the high place of the washing area floor with a water collection and drainage outlet in the low place, and a hot water pipe is installed in the groove. The hot water supply pipe is equipped with a spout nozzle, and the hot water spouted from the spout nozzle flows from a high place on the washing area floor to a low place, so despite the presence of the hot water pipe, there is no problem in the washing area. The washing area can be used widely without any reduction in area, and bathing can be more comfortable than when the conventional hot water supply pipe is installed on the side of the washing area.

The hot water supply pipe is installed in the groove, so even if some of the hot water does not reach the washing area floor when the spout starts or ends, it will collect in the groove and be disposed of. Moreover, even if the spout is clogged, the spout can be easily cleaned and maintenance is easy.
