Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 In the present invention, a flush water tank is fixed to the toilet body, and in a facility where this flush water tank is housed in a casing together with a sanitary washing device for local washing, for example, dew condensation in the water supply pipe to the flush water tank It relates to a structure for collecting water.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, there are flush water tanks for feeding flush water to the toilet bowl, which are fixed integrally to the toilet body, and those which are attached to the toilet wall. In addition, in some of those equipped with a sanitary washing device for local cleaning, the wash water tank is covered with a casing together with the sanitary washing device to improve the appearance.

The casing-incorporated wash water tank has a structure in which a ball tap is provided inside and a water supply pipe for supplying wash water is connected from the outside like a general wash water tank. And since it is stored in the casing, it is necessary to prevent the dew condensation water generated on the surface of the washing water supply pipe from affecting the equipment of the sanitary washing device. For this reason, styrofoam or the like is wrapped around the water supply pipe in a cylindrical shape to prevent dew condensation.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in order to connect the water supply pipe to the wash water tank, a cap nut and other joints are required, so that the outer shape of the joint with the ball tap tends to be complicated. For this reason, it is almost impossible to fit and attach a dew-proof layer made of sponge or Styrofoam, etc. to this joint. The assembly ends up leaving a gap between them. Therefore, dew condensation will occur on the surface of the pipe in such exposed parts and gaps, and the equipment of the sanitary washing device will be exposed to water and the humidity inside the casing will become high, and the functional parts of the sanitary washing device will be affected. It causes obstacles.

[0005] Also, even in the exposed type in which the flush water tank is fixed to the toilet body, a dew condensation layer can be provided on the water supply pipe to prevent dew condensation, but this dew condensation layer is provided at the connection with the flush water tank. Since it cannot be installed, there is the same problem as in the case of a flush water tank with a built-in casing.

The problem to be solved in the present invention is that condensed water generated at the connection between the water supply pipe and the wash water tank can be collected without running down. It is to protect the functional parts such as sanitary washing devices without adversely affecting them.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a flush toilet having a flush water tank and a water supply pipe for supplying flush water to the flush water tank, wherein drip water is provided below the connection between the flush water tank and the water supply pipe. A receiving member is provided.

[0008]

[Action]

 A drip water receiver is provided below the part where the water supply pipe is connected to the wash water tank. It is received by the member, and the drop does not fall from the connecting part. Therefore, even if the washing water tank is housed in the casing together with the functional part such as the sanitary washing device, the functional part will not be drip and will not have a bad influence. Further, even when the flush water tank is provided on the toilet body as it is exposed, the floor and the side wall of the flush water tank are not wetted.

The casing 2 is composed of a base 3 fixed to the toilet body 1 and three parts, an upper casing 4 and a lower casing 5, which are arranged above and below the base 3 and integrated with each other.

A toilet seat 6a and a toilet lid 6b are attached to the front end of the front surface of the upper casing 4, and a hand-washing pot 6c is provided at the upper end thereof, and a water discharge pipe 6d is provided on this. Further, inside the upper casing 4, a wash water tank 7a for sending wash water to the toilet body 1 is housed, and a nozzle device 7b for local washing, a hot water tank 7c, a hot air fan 7d for drying, etc. are incorporated. I'm out. All of these devices are fixed to the base 3 and can be operated by hanging them on a wall or using a mote controller R as shown in FIG. 3, or an operation panel 8 provided on the side of the upper casing 4. Done by Further, on the base 3, a controller 9 for controlling the nozzle device 7b and other devices is attached, and its ground wire 10 is wired to the back of the casing 2.

A ball tap 11 is fixed inside the wash water tank 7a, and a dew zone 12 for dew condensation prevention is provided on the outer periphery of the ball tap 11. Then, a water supply pipe 13 connected to a water supply source outside the upper casing 4 is raised along a side portion of the wash water tank 7a, and its upper end portion is bent and connected to the ball tap 11 by a cap nut 14.

A dew condensation preventing layer 15 for preventing dew condensation is provided on the outer periphery of the water supply pipe 13 except for the upper end thereof. The dew-prevention layer 15 is a pipe-shaped member made of sponge, styrofoam, or the like, and its inner periphery is brought into close contact with the surface of the water supply pipe 13 to be integrated. The dew-proof layer 15 covers up to the point before the water supply pipe 13 starts to bend toward the wash water tank 7a, and is exposed at the cap nut 14 portion.

On the other hand, the peripheral wall 16 of the wash water tank 7 a has a planar shape of a size including the upper end portion of the water supply pipe 13 not covered with the dew-proof layer 15, the cap nut 14 and the connection portion with the ball tap 11. A drip water receiving member 17 is provided. The drip water receiving member 17 has ribs 17a formed at both ends thereof (a front end and a rear end in the depth direction of the upper casing 4) to serve as a weir. Receive dew condensation water. In the example of FIG. 2, the drip water receiving member 17 is in a substantially horizontal posture, but since the condensed water is quickly collected in the wash water tank 7a side, it is inclined so as to decrease toward the peripheral wall 16 side. May be given.

The peripheral wall 16 of the base portion of the drip water receiving member 17 is provided with a recovery hole 18 for draining the condensed water received by the drip water receiving member 17 into the wash water tank 7a. The recovery hole 18 has an opening substantially equal to the length of the drip water receiving member 17 in the depth direction.

In the above structure, when water is sent from the water supply pipe 13 to the ball tap 11, the water is supplied to the upper surface of the water supply pipe 13 not provided with the dew-prevention layer 15, the cap nut 14, and the surface of the connection portion with the ball tap 11. Causes dew condensation when it is cold. The condensed water drops as a drop, but the drop is received by the drip water receiving member 17 provided therebelow, and does not drip to the base 3 side. Then, the water accumulated in the drip water receiving member 17 flows into the wash water tank 7a through the recovery hole 18, and all the dewed water is collected in the wash water tank 7a so that the functional portion in the upper casing 4 is exposed to water. I'm gone.

As described above, since all the dew condensation water generated in the water supply pipe to the wash water tank 7a is collected, the functional parts of the sanitary washing device are not wet and the humidity in the upper casing 4 does not become high. .. For this reason, the functional parts of the sanitary washing device and other electric equipment are protected, and even if the washing water tank and various equipment are installed in one casing, it is stable without causing damage due to dew condensation. Operation is secured.

In the embodiment, the drip water receiving member 17 is projected from the side wall of the wash water tank 7a to the outside, but instead of this, the water supply pipe 13 at the upper end of the dew-proof layer 15 is provided. A flange-shaped member may be provided to receive the dripping water. Further, the receiving member may be arranged so as to directly project from the dew-proof layer 15 toward the side wall of the wash water tank 7a.

Further, instead of opening the recovery hole 8 for dropping the dripping water into the wash water tank 7a, the dripping water receiving member 17 may be formed in a container shape to store the condensed water therein. .. If a tube is connected to the bottom surface of the drip water receiving member 17 and this tube is extended to the ball portion of the toilet body 1, condensed water can be collected on the toilet body 1 side. Further, if the tip side of the drip water receiving member 17 is tilted downward so that the tip thereof abuts the surface of the dew-prevention layer 15, the dew condensation water flows down the surface of the dew-prevention layer 15, During this time, it can be naturally evaporated.

In the illustrated example, the flush water tank 7a is housed in the casing 2, but the flush water tank used in a conventional general flush toilet is exposed. It goes without saying that the structure for collecting condensed water of the present invention can be applied even if it is installed in the toilet body.

[0022]

[Effect of the device]
