Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an installation structure of a Western-style toilet bowl in which warm air is blown from the front portion of the toilet bowl. In particular, the present invention relates to a structure suitable for installing the warm-air blowing Western-style toilet in a general house.

[Prior Art] In order to improve the usability of toilets, heated toilet seats are becoming widespread. Further, in recent years, in order to heat the entire toilet room, a heat pump type air conditioner is often installed in the toilet. As a simple heating device, a portable electric heater may be installed in the toilet room.

Further, in recent years, the number of houses that use Western-style toilets instead of Japanese-style toilets as toilet bowls has increased. One of the Western-style toilets is a wall-mounted one. The wall-mounted Western-style toilet bowl is installed by attaching and supporting the back surface of the toilet bowl to a wall surface.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] A heated toilet seat cannot heat the entire toilet room. In addition, although a heat pump type air conditioner can heat the entire toilet room, there is a problem in that the upper part of the toilet room is warmed and the feet are hard to warm.

In order to prevent a fire, the electric heater must be turned off when the toilet is not used, and is not suitable for raising the overall temperature of the toilet room. In addition, the electric heater may burn the clothes when brought close to the toilet user, and the warmth rapidly becomes poor when the clothes are moved away. Moreover, when the toilet room is small, it cannot be moved far away, and it is often necessary to reduce the output of the heater to use it, and it may be difficult to perform sufficient heating.

In addition, in concrete buildings such as buildings, it is possible to install a counter along the wall surface of the toilet room and firmly attach and support a Western-style toilet on the front side of the counter. However, in general houses, the wall surface of the toilet room is often made of relatively low-strength panels or wooden boards, and it was not possible to firmly attach and support the wall-mounted Western-style toilet bowl.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In the installation structure of the Western-style toilet bowl of the present invention, a warm-air passage is provided in the Western-style toilet bowl so that hot air can be blown from the front side of the toilet bowl. In the present specification, the "front of the toilet bowl" refers to the front of the toilet bowl when the user sits down on the toilet bowl in a normal toilet use posture.

In the toilet installation structure according to claim (1), a box-shaped frame is arranged between columns of a toilet room wall and fixed to the columns, and a mounting plate is fixedly installed on the inside of the frame, and the mounting is performed. A wall-mounted Western-style toilet is attached to the plate. A warm air generator is provided outside the mounting plate, and the warm air generator is connected to the warm air passage of the toilet. A nut is fixed to the mounting plate, and the toilet bowl is fixed by a bolt screwed onto the nut.

In the structure of claim (2), a bolt is provided upright on the mounting plate instead of the nut, the bolt is inserted into the bolt insertion portion of the toilet bowl, and the nut is attached to the bolt. The toilet bowl is fixed by being screwed.

[Operation] In the Western-style toilet installation structure of the present invention, since warm air blows from the front portion of the Western-style toilet, it is possible to warm the user from the feet. In addition, since the heating system uses warm air, there is no risk of burning clothes.

In the Western-style toilet installation structure of the present invention, since the wall-mounted Western-style toilet is attached via the frame, the attachment strength is extremely high.

In both claims (1) and (2), the mounting plate is attached to the frame in advance, and after the rear end face of the toilet bowl is brought into contact with the mounting plate, the toilet bowl can be fixed by tightening the bolts or nuts.

Therefore, the toilet plate can be easily aligned with the mounting plate, and the bolts and nuts can be easily tightened.

Embodiments Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 show a schematic structure of an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a side view and FIG. 2 is a II-II of FIG.

This Western-style toilet 1 is of a wall-mounted type, and its rear end side 1a is attached to a frame 49 arranged on the wall portion of the toilet room 20.
A toilet bowl 2 is provided on the front side of the toilet bowl 1, and a rim water passage 3 is provided around the upper portion of the toilet bowl 2. In this Western-style toilet 1, the warm air passage 4 is provided in the side portion of the toilet 1.
And the tip of the warm air passage 4 is opened at the front part of the Western-style toilet 1 to form a blow-out port 5. The rear end of the warm air passage 4 is the rear end side 1a of the toilet bowl 1.
It is open at. Reference numeral 6 in the drawing indicates a trap portion, and 7 indicates a drainage port.

A toilet seat 22 and a toilet lid 23 are provided on the upper surface of the Western-style toilet 1 so that they can be raised and lowered. The toilet seat 22 and the toilet lid 23 are attached to the case 24 fixed on the upper surface of the rear part of the Western-style toilet 1, and the hinge shaft 2 is attached to the case 24.
Pivoted by 5. Rubber feet 2 on the bottom of the toilet seat 22
6 is attached.

In this embodiment, the hinge shaft 25 is capable of vertically moving a small amount, and a seating switch 27 having a pressure sensitive switch mechanism is provided between the hinge shaft 25 and the upper surface of the toilet 1. There is.

A signal line 30 is drawn from 9 and is connected to a warm air generator 31. The outlet 32 of the warm air generator 31 is connected to the warm air passage 4.

In the Western-style toilet constructed as described above, when a human body sits on the toilet seat 22, the seating switch 27 is turned on, and the warm air generator 31 operates to blow out warm air from the outlet 5. The blown out warm air hits the lower half of the user of the toilet bowl 1, especially the area below the knees, and warms the user from the feet. Since this heating is performed by warm air, the clothes are not burnt, and the warm air is blown out immediately after the operation of the warm air generator 31, so that the so-called start-up characteristics are good and extremely comfortable heating is achieved. I can do it.

Next, a more detailed structure of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
