Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a wiring structure of a cord in the case where an electric device such as a foot warmer is incorporated into a kicking portion of a cabinet such as a vanity.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, equipment has been used in which a foot warmer is installed in a bathroom vanity or kitchen cabinet to heat the foot. For example, a device incorporated in a kitchen cabinet is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-188242. This is one in which the warm air blower is housed in the space of the riser at the bottom of the cabinet.

Although various methods have been adopted for electrical wiring to the warm air blower, in this publication, a connector is attached to the inner surface of the side wall of the casing of the warm air blower, and a cord from equipment such as a heating unit is connected to this connector. And then assemble. Also, instead of such connection wiring, a hole is made in the bottom plate of the cabinet, and the cord from the warm air fan stored in the kicking part is passed through the hole into the cabinet and connected to the outlet provided on the back plate. The structure is also widely used.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the former method, the cord is connected to the connector when a device such as a heating unit is incorporated in the casing. Therefore, in the case where the device occupies the entire width of the casing, the gap between the casing and the device becomes very small, and the procedure is as if searching with a fingertip, which makes the work extremely difficult.

Further, in the latter method of making a hole in the bottom plate, handling of the cord itself becomes easy, and therefore the work is relatively easy. However, in addition to the new work to open the hole in the bottom plate, if the hole is left open, pests etc. may enter the storage part.
You need to cover it. For this reason, the cost increases due to an increase in the processing man-hours and members, and the burden on the contractor also increases when the construction is performed on site.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to facilitate the wiring of electric equipment such as a hot air blower incorporated in a riser by using a piping structure of a pipe body such as a drain pipe, a water supply pipe, or a gas pipe. To do.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention relates to a cabinet around water such as a vanity or a sink, a pipe body that is pierced through a pipe opening opened in the bottom plate from the inside of the cabinet, and the pipe installed around the pipe body. A cover made of an elastic material that covers the mouth, and an electric device such as a warm air blower housed in the kicking section under the bottom plate are provided.
In the portion where the lid body covers the piping port, a hole opened for passing the pipe body and a slit which is cut from the peripheral edge to the outside of the opening edge of the hole and through which the cord can be inserted are provided. Is characterized by.

[Action]

For the pipes such as drainage pipes, water supply pipes, gas pipes, etc., the cord of the electric equipment stored in the kicking part below the bottom plate is used by using the pipe opening opened in the bottom plate of the cabinet and the slit of the lid that closes this. It is extended to the inside of the cabinet. Therefore, it is not necessary to open a wiring port for the cord or to provide a cover for closing the wiring port on the cabinet side, and the wiring of the cord itself can be connected to an outlet using the entire interior of the cabinet. Further, since the hole through which the pipe body passes and the slit through which the cord is inserted are separated from each other, the pipe body and the cord can be held by the lid so that they do not contact each other. It is also prevented that condensed water on the surface of the body reaches the cord.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an essential part of an example in which the wiring structure of the present invention is applied to a cabinet of a vanity, FIG. 2 is an overall view of the vanity, and FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the essential part.

In the figure, the vanity has a cabinet 1 installed on the floor A, and is a component type in which a washbasin 20 and a makeup mirror body 21 are integrated at the upper end and a side cabinet 22 is attached on the left side. Then, a warm air blower 10 for blowing warm air to the feet to heat it by using a space between the bottom of the cabinet 1 and the floor A is incorporated.

The cabinet 1 has a bottom plate 1a and left and right side plates 1 as shown in FIG.
Formed in a box shape with the front opened by b and back plate 1c,
There is a door 1d on the front. The lower part of the bottom plate 1a is used as a storage space B for the warm air blower 10 between the bottom plate 1a and the floor A as shown in FIG. That is, the riser plate 2 is attached to the front surface of the lower end of the cabinet 1, and the warm air blower 10 is inserted into the riser plate 2 from the attachment opening 2a.

The warm air machine 10 is provided with a decorative panel 10a on the front surface, is provided with a suction port 10b and a warm air discharge port 10c, and is further equipped with a foot switch 10d. Then, the adjuster 10e is provided on the lower surface of the warm air blower 10.
Is set to set the level, and as shown in Fig. 4, the mounting port
The warm air blower 10 is inserted into the storage space B from 2a, positioned, and then fixed by the screw 2b. Further, a cord 11 is connected to the back of the warm air blower 10, and an outlet 3 for connecting and feeding power to the cord 11 is provided on the back plate 1c.

On the other hand, the drainage pipe 4 from the washbasin 20 is vertically piped inside the cabinet 1 as a pipe body, and its lower end projects below the bottom plate 1a as shown in FIG. Then, from the floor A, a drainage main pipe 4a is piped up to the building, the lower end portion of the drainage pipe 4 is inserted therein, and the upper end of the drainage main pipe 4a is closed by a deodorant cover 4b. Due to such a piping structure of the drainage pipe 4 and the drainage main 4a, the bottom plate 1a is preliminarily opened with a pipe opening 5, and the pipe opening 5 is closed so that the cabinet 1 is closed. The drainage lid 6 is provided as a lid.

The cord 11 is wired to the outlet 3 using the piping port 5 opened on the bottom plate 1a. For such wiring, the drain cover 6 has a notch structure through which the cord 11 can pass and be connected to the outlet 3. 6 (a) is a plan view of the drain cover 6, and FIG. 6 (b) is a sectional view taken along the line I-I of FIG. 6 (a). It is formed in a disk shape larger than the mouth 5, and has a hole 6a formed in the center through which the drainage pipe 4 passes. Then, a slit 6b is incised in the radial direction from the outer peripheral edge portion, and a small hole 6c for preventing diffusion of the slit 6b is opened at the end thereof. By cutting the slit 6b, the portion sandwiching the slit 6b can be deformed in a stepwise manner, and if the cord 11 is passed through this deformed portion, the cord 11 from the warm air fan 10 incorporated under the bottom plate 1a is guided to the outlet 3 side. be able to.

The warm air blower 10 is installed in the cabinet 1 installed on the floor A and the cord 11 is connected to the outlet 3 in the following manner.

First, the drain cover 6 is moved upward along the drain pipe 4, and the tip of the cord 11 is pulled out from the pipe port 5 onto the bottom plate 1a before inserting the warm air blower 10 from the mounting port 2a. Then, after the slit 6b of the drain cover 6 is deformed so as to be opened, the cord 11 is inserted into the slit 6b. Next, the drain cover 6 is lowered, and at the same time, the cord 11 is also moved in the slit 6b to place the drain cover 6 on the bottom plate 1a. After this, warm air blower 10
At the same time as inserting the cord 11 into the storage space B from the mounting opening 2a, the cord 11 is also pulled out from the slit 6b, and only the portion corresponding to the distance to the outlet 3 is extended above the bottom plate 1a.

After the above work, the decorative panel 10a of the warm air blower 10 is fixed to the riser plate 2 by the screw 2b, and the cord 11 is fixed to the bottom plate 1a and the back plate 1c by the fixing tool 12 so as not to loosen, and wiring is performed. Insert the plug 11a at the tip into the outlet 3.
Then, by returning an extra portion from the slit 6b to the bottom of the bottom plate 1a so that the cord 11 is not wavy or loosened on the bottom plate 1a, the installation of the warm air blower 10 and the wiring work of the cord 11 are completed.

In this way, the cord 11 of the warm air blower 10 installed under the bottom plate 1a
Is a piping port 5 opened in advance in the bottom plate 1a for passing the drainage pipe 4.
Also, wiring can be performed up to the top of the bottom plate 1a by using the slit 6b of the drain cover 6. Therefore, after the installation of the cabinet 1 and the connection between the drainage pipe 4 and the drainage main 4a, the wiring work of the cord 11 to the outlet 3 can be performed with the door 1d wide open. Therefore, during the work, the entire interior of the cabinet 1 can be used as a work space, and the work is much easier than the conventional connection of the cord 11 which is searched with a fingertip.

Further, since the pipe port 5 of the drainage pipe 4 is used instead, it is not necessary to open a dedicated through hole for the cord 11 in the bottom plate 1a, and the number of processing steps for manufacturing the cabinet 1 does not increase. Furthermore, since the cord 11 is passed through the slit 6b of the drain cover 6, it is not necessary to attach a lid for opening the hole for the cord 11 to the bottom plate 1a and closing the hole. Therefore, it becomes possible to wire the cord 11 by making good use of the structure in which the drainage pipe 4 penetrates through the bottom plate 1a.

Although the vanity table has been described in the embodiment, the same configuration can be applied to a kitchen cabinet, a hair washer, or the like in which pipes such as a water supply pipe and a gas pipe penetrate through the bottom plate of the cabinet. Further, not only the warm air dryer but also a device such as an exhaust fan or an air purifier may have a similar wiring structure.

Further, instead of providing the outlet 3 on the back plate 1c as shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to use an outlet in which wiring is fixed in advance on the back wall of the cabinet 1. In this case,
It suffices to open an opening in the back plate 1c so as to fit the wall-side outlet in advance or by site alignment, and connect the cord 11 through the opening to the outlet. Therefore, it is not always necessary to provide the outlet 3 in the cabinet 1, and the construction suitable for the installation conditions can be performed.

[Effect of device]

In the present invention, since the elastic lid has a hole for inserting the pipe and a slit into which the cord can be inserted separately, the cord is pulled out into the cabinet for easy connection work. can do.

Also, since the tube and cord are passed through one lid, there is no need to open a new hole for the code in the bottom plate, and the tube and cord are held in positions where they do not touch each other. Therefore, even if dew condensation occurs on the surface of the pipe body, the cord side will not get wet, and accidents such as electric shock and deterioration of the cord can be prevented.
