Abstract
Description
本発明は、洗浄水を貯留するタンクからの洗浄水を新たな洗浄水として便器ボール部に通水してこれを洗浄する水洗便器に関する。 The present invention relates to a flush toilet for flushing flush water from a tank for storing flush water as fresh flush water to a flush bowl portion for flushing the flush water.
便器ボール部に洗浄水を通水してこれを洗浄する方式には種々のものがあり、便器ボール部の溜水中においてトラップに向けて洗浄水を噴出して洗浄する方式（いわゆるゼット洗浄）が広く普及している。このほか、ボール面上縁部の内側壁面に沿って洗浄水を噴出して洗浄する方式（いわゆるリム洗浄）も提案されており、上記の方式と併用することもなされるようになった（特許文献１）。この特許文献１に記載の水洗便器は、リム洗浄の洗浄開始タイミングをゼット洗浄のタイミングに近づけるようにしている。こうすることで、便器ボール面に付着したトイレットペーパー等をサイホン継続の間にボール部の溜水に流し落として、確実にトイレットペーパー等を排出させている。 There are various types of systems for flushing flush water by passing flush water through the bowl portion of the toilet bowl, and a method of jetting flush water toward a trap in the pool water of the toilet bowl to wash the flush (so-called Zet flush) is known. Widespread. In addition, a method (so-called rim cleaning) has been proposed in which cleaning water is jetted along the inner wall surface of the upper edge of the ball surface for cleaning (so-called rim cleaning). Reference 1). In the flush toilet described in Patent Literature 1, the cleaning start timing of rim cleaning is made closer to the timing of jet cleaning. By doing so, the toilet paper and the like attached to the bowl surface of the toilet bowl are allowed to flow down into the reservoir water of the ball portion while the siphon continues, and the toilet paper and the like are reliably discharged.
特許文献１の方法では、タンク洗浄水の流入部に水流偏向部材を設けて、この水流偏向部材に衝突して跳ね上がった洗浄水を、その向きを変えてリム洗浄のための流路に導いている。ところで、この水流偏向部材の目的とするところがトイレットペーパー等の溜水への流し落しであるので、リム洗浄にそれほどの流量を必要としない。このため、水流偏向部材への衝突・跳ね上がりで洗浄水をリムに導けば十分であり、リム洗浄流量の確実な確保やリム洗浄流量増加等についての改善の余地が残されていた。 In the method of Patent Literature 1, a water flow deflecting member is provided at an inflow portion of the tank cleaning water, and the washing water that collides with the water flow deflecting member and jumps up is guided to a flow path for rim cleaning by changing its direction. I have. By the way, since the purpose of the water flow deflecting member is to flow down into the reservoir water such as toilet paper, a large flow rate is not required for rim cleaning. For this reason, it is sufficient to guide the cleaning water to the rim by colliding or jumping up with the water flow deflecting member, and there is still room for improvement in ensuring the rim cleaning flow rate and increasing the rim cleaning flow rate.
また、水流偏向部材への衝突・跳ね上がりを起こしてリムに導かれる洗浄水は少量に過ぎないので、リム洗浄によるボール面汚物の剥離能力の向上が十分でなかった。なお、トイレットペーパー等の溜水への流し落しを目的とする限りにおいては、リムに導く洗浄水量が少なくても、実用上特段の支障はなかった。 洗浄 Also, since only a small amount of washing water is guided to the rim by colliding with the water flow deflecting member and jumping up, the ability of the rim washing to remove ball surface dirt is not sufficiently improved. In addition, as long as the purpose is to drain toilet paper or the like into the pool water, even if the amount of washing water guided to the rim is small, there is no particular problem in practical use.
本発明は、上記した問題点を解決するためになされ、リム洗浄を併用した場合の洗浄機能の改善を図ることを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and has as its object to improve the cleaning function when rim cleaning is used together.
上記した課題を解決するため、本発明は、洗浄水を貯留するタンクからの洗浄水を新たな洗浄水としてボール面上縁部に沿って略水平方向に噴出するリム噴出口と、トラップの排出口に向けて洗浄水を噴出するゼット噴出口とを備え、該便器ボール部に貯め置く溜水を汚物と共にトラップから排出するサイホンゼット式の水洗便器において、前記リム噴出口から噴出されたリムショット洗浄水は、前記ボール面上縁部に沿って略水平方向に旋回を起こすとともに、前記ゼット噴出口からの噴出水量を前記リム噴出口からの噴出水量より多くした。 In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a rim ejection port for ejecting washing water from a tank for storing washing water as new washing water in a substantially horizontal direction along an upper edge portion of a ball surface, and a trap discharge port. A jet outlet for jetting washing water toward the outlet, and a siphon jet type flush toilet that discharges stored water stored in the toilet bowl portion from a trap together with dirt, and a rim shot jetted from the rim outlet. The washing water swirled in a substantially horizontal direction along the upper edge of the ball surface, and the amount of water jetted from the jet port was larger than the volume of water jetted from the rim port.
例えば、リム噴出口からの噴出水量をゼット噴出口からの噴出水量に対して約５０〜約７５％とするよう調整するものとすることができる。こうすれば、ゼット噴出口からの噴出洗浄水量をリム噴出口からの噴出洗浄水量より多くできるので、トラップ吸込口への洗浄水吸込の確実化、延いてはこの洗浄水吸込によるトラップ内の速やかな洗浄水満水化を図ることができる。 For example, the amount of water jetted from the rim jet port may be adjusted to be about 50 to about 75% of the quantity of jet water jetted from the Zet jet port. By doing so, the amount of washing water ejected from the jet port can be made larger than the amount of washing water ejected from the rim ejection port. The washing water can be sufficiently filled.
本発明によれば、リムショット洗浄水で溜水に旋回を起こすので、溜水及び溜水中の汚物の排出効果が高まる。しかも、ボール面において旋回する際、その有する旋回力によりボール面付着汚物を高い剥離力で剥離してボール底部の凹部に落とし込む。 According to the present invention, since the swirl is caused by the rim shot cleaning water, the drainage of the stored water and the dirt in the stored water is enhanced. Moreover, when turning on the ball surface, the turning force of the ball surface causes the dirt adhering to the ball surface to separate with a high peeling force and drop into the concave portion at the bottom of the ball.
また、ゼット噴出口からの噴出水量を前記リム噴出口からの噴出水量より多くしたので、排出口への洗浄水吸込の確実化、延いてはこの洗浄水吸込によるトラップ内の速やかな洗浄水満水化を図ることができる。このため、早期のうちのサイホン作用誘発に有益である。 In addition, since the amount of water jetted from the jet port is larger than the volume of water jetted from the rim jet port, it is ensured that the cleaning water is sucked into the discharge port, and, consequently, the flush water in the trap is quickly filled with the cleaning water. Can be achieved. Therefore, it is useful for inducing siphon action early.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a siphon-jet type toilet bowl 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, together with a state of jetting of washing water employed therein, and FIG. 2 shows the main parts of the toilet bowl 10 in relation to a flow path. It is an explanatory view for explaining, showing.

The siphon jet toilet 10 jets washing water from a jet outlet 22 described later and jets washing water at the upper edge of the ball surface along with washing. Hereinafter, each part of the toilet 10 will be described with reference to the drawings.
これら図面に示すように、便器１０は、汚物を受けるボール部２０を備える。ボール部２０の周壁は、便器１０の非洗浄時でも溜水ＲＷと接する覆水面２３と、便器１０の非洗浄時には溜水ＲＷと接しない露出面２４から構成されている。 便 As shown in these drawings, the toilet 10 includes a ball portion 20 that receives waste. The peripheral wall of the ball portion 20 includes a water-covered surface 23 that is in contact with the stored water RW even when the toilet 10 is not washed, and an exposed surface 24 that is not in contact with the stored water RW when the toilet 10 is not washed.
この便器１０は、二つの洗浄水噴出系を有する。一方の噴出系（ゼット噴出系）は、洗浄水タンク３１０（図４参照）からのタンク洗浄水入り口である洗浄水給水孔４０から、ボール部底部の凹部２６に開口されたゼット噴出口２２までの経路を有する。他方の経路（リムショット噴出系）は、洗浄水給水孔４０から、ボール部２０の上部側面に空けられたリム噴出口４４までの経路を有する。このゼット噴出系とリムショット噴出系は、洗浄水給水孔４０の直下近傍で、後述するように上部流入部４１ａと下部流入部４１ｂに区画分離形成されており、それぞれの噴出口に洗浄水を分流供給する。 便 This toilet bowl 10 has two flush water jetting systems. One jetting system (jet jetting system) extends from the washing water supply hole 40, which is the tank washing water inlet from the washing water tank 310 (see FIG. 4), to the jet jet opening 22 opened in the concave portion 26 at the bottom of the ball portion. With a path of The other path (rim shot ejection system) has a path from the cleaning water supply hole 40 to the rim ejection port 44 provided on the upper side surface of the ball portion 20. The jet ejection system and the rim shot ejection system are formed separately in the upper inflow portion 41a and the lower inflow portion 41b near the cleaning water supply hole 40, as will be described later. Shunt supply.
ゼット噴出口２２は、図示するように、凹部２６を挟んでトラップの排出口２５とほぼ対峙する位置に設けられている。そして、このゼット噴出口２２は、下部流入部４１ｂ下方のゼット給水孔４５と、便器内部を湾曲するように形成されたゼット給水路４６を介して接続されている。リム噴出口４４は、ボール部２０のボール面（詳しくは露出面２４）上縁に沿って略水平方向に溝状に陥没形成された案内凹部２４ａに連通するよう形成されている。 As shown in the drawing, the jet port 22 is provided at a position substantially facing the discharge port 25 of the trap with the concave portion 26 interposed therebetween. The jet outlet 22 is connected to a jet water supply hole 45 below the lower inflow portion 41b via a jet water supply passage 46 formed so as to curve the inside of the toilet. The rim ejection port 44 is formed so as to communicate with a guide recess 24 a formed in a substantially horizontal groove-like shape along the upper edge of the ball surface (specifically, the exposed surface 24) of the ball portion 20.
便器１０は、その製造の過程で、ボール部パーツ１０ａと、本体下部パーツ１０ｂと、給水路遮蔽パーツ１０ｃとされ、これらのパーツを接合・なじみ処理した後、焼成して製造される。 The toilet bowl 10 is made into a ball part 10a, a lower body part 10b, and a water supply channel shielding part 10c in the process of manufacturing, and after joining and fitting these parts, it is manufactured by firing.
便器１０の内部には、ボール部２０に水を噴出するための上記の二系等の噴出系のほか、ボール部２０内の汚物を排水立ち上げ管９０に向けて排出するための管路機構（以下、排出機構という）を有するトラップが設けられている。 Inside the toilet 10, in addition to the above-described two-system ejection system for ejecting water to the ball portion 20, a pipe mechanism for discharging dirt in the ball portion 20 toward the drainage riser pipe 90. (Hereinafter, referred to as a discharge mechanism) is provided.
まず、噴出系の構成について説明する。便器１０の後方には、洗浄水タンク３１０底部の図示しない排出口部分からの洗浄水流入孔として、洗浄水給水孔４０が設けられている。洗浄水タンク３１０は、その底部に図示しない排水弁を有し、便器洗浄のための全体の洗浄水を供給する。なお、後述のトラップから便器外部に排出される洗浄水量（排出洗浄水量）は、タンクの排水弁の開弁制御により調整可能であり、所定量、例えば大便洗浄時にあって約６リットルとなるよう設定することができる。 First, the configuration of the ejection system will be described. A flush water supply hole 40 is provided behind the toilet 10 as a flush water inlet from a discharge port (not shown) at the bottom of the flush water tank 310. The flush water tank 310 has a drain valve (not shown) at the bottom thereof and supplies the entire flush water for flushing the toilet. The amount of flush water discharged from the trap described below to the outside of the toilet (discharge flush water amount) can be adjusted by controlling the opening of the drain valve of the tank, and is set to a predetermined amount, for example, about 6 liters at the time of stool washing. Can be set.
この洗浄水給水孔４０を通過したタンク洗浄水は、当該給水孔下部の中空の流入部４１に流入する。本実施例では、この流入部４１を形成する左右内側壁４１ｓｒ、４１ｓｌ（図３参照）間に、分流区画壁４１ｃを有する。この分流区画壁４１ｃは、この左右内側壁間に延在して形成されており、流入部４１を上記の上部流入部４１ａと下部流入部４１ｂに区画分離する。この場合、分流区画壁４１ｃは、図６に示すように、ボール部２０と反対側の端部、即ち図４に示すように洗浄水給水孔４０の近傍に、開口４２を有する分流調整部材５０が装着されている。 タ ン ク The tank cleaning water that has passed through the cleaning water supply hole 40 flows into the hollow inflow portion 41 below the water supply hole. In the present embodiment, a flow dividing wall 41c is provided between left and right inner side walls 41sr and 41sl (see FIG. 3) forming the inflow portion 41. The branch wall 41c is formed to extend between the left and right inner side walls, and separates the inflow portion 41 into the upper inflow portion 41a and the lower inflow portion 41b. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the flow dividing wall 41c has a flow controlling member 50 having an opening 42 at an end opposite to the ball portion 20, that is, in the vicinity of the washing water supply hole 40 as shown in FIG. Is installed.
分流調整部材５０は、下方に突出したすり割り状の係合片５１を有し、この係合片５１を区画壁開口４１ｄの周壁に係合させて、分流区画壁４１ｃに固定される。また、係合片５１を湾曲させて、分流調整部材５０を取り外すこともできる。この分流調整部材５０は、ＡＢＳ等の一般的な樹脂の樹脂成型品、或いは金属成型品とされている。そして、この分流調整部材５０は、開口４２の面積が異なるものに交換可能であり、開口４２に図示しない部材を嵌合・固定してその開口面積を変更することもできる。 The flow dividing adjustment member 50 has a slot-shaped engaging piece 51 projecting downward, and is engaged with the peripheral wall of the partition wall opening 41d to be fixed to the flow dividing wall 41c. In addition, the engagement piece 51 can be curved, and the flow dividing adjustment member 50 can be removed. The shunt adjusting member 50 is a resin molded product of a general resin such as ABS or a metal molded product. The diversion adjusting member 50 can be exchanged for one having a different area of the opening 42, and the area of the opening can be changed by fitting and fixing a member (not shown) to the opening 42.
図７は、この分流区画壁４１ｃと分流調整部材５０による洗浄水分流の様子を説明するための説明図である。この図７を始めとする各図に示すように、洗浄水給水孔４０を通過した洗浄水（流入洗浄水）は、分流区画壁４１ｃと分流調整部材５０により、上部流入部４１ａを経てリム噴出口４４に至る洗浄水の流れと、下部流入部４１ｂを経てゼット噴出口２２に至る洗浄水の流れに区画分離されて、両噴出口に分流供給される。つまり、流入洗浄水のうち、分流調整部材５０の開口４２を通過した洗浄水は、下部流入部４１ｂ並びにゼット給水孔４５ゼット給水路４６を経てゼット噴出口２２から速やかに噴出される。また、流入洗浄水のうち、開口４２に入り込まなかった洗浄水は、上部流入部４１ａを経てリム噴出口４４から速やかに噴出される。洗浄水給水孔４０の下部領域は、限られた容積しかないので、給水直後に洗浄水で満たされる。よって、上記の両噴出口へは、洗浄水はほとんど同時に直接分流供給され、各分流供給の際に、洗浄水のエネルギロスを起こさない。なお、給水直後の一瞬にあっては、開口４２に入り込まずに分流区画壁４１ｃに乗り上げた洗浄水と、分流調整部材５０両側の分流区画壁端部４１ｅに案内されて分流区画壁４１ｃに乗り上げた洗浄水のリム噴出口４４への分流供給が起きる。しかし、こうした分流供給はすぐに解消して上記のような直接的なものとなるので、また、この洗浄水の乗り上げは、本実施例では十数ｍｍに過ぎないので、乗り上げによる洗浄水のエネルギロスは実質的に無視できる。 FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the state of the flow of the washing water by the branch wall 41c and the branch flow adjusting member 50. As shown in FIGS. 7 and other drawings, the wash water (inflow wash water) that has passed through the wash water supply hole 40 is rim jetted through the upper inflow portion 41a by the flow dividing wall 41c and the flow dividing adjusting member 50. The flow of the washing water reaching the outlet 44 and the flow of the washing water reaching the jet port 22 through the lower inflow portion 41b are divided and supplied to both jet ports. In other words, of the inflow cleaning water, the cleaning water that has passed through the opening 42 of the branch flow adjusting member 50 is quickly ejected from the jet outlet 22 through the lower inflow portion 41 b and the jet water supply hole 45 and the jet water supply channel 46. In addition, of the inflow cleaning water, the cleaning water that has not entered the opening 42 is quickly discharged from the rim discharge port 44 via the upper inflow portion 41a. Since the lower region of the flush water supply hole 40 has only a limited volume, it is filled with flush water immediately after the supply of water. Therefore, the cleaning water is directly and diverted to the two jet ports almost simultaneously, and does not cause energy loss of the rinsing water in each of the divided flows. At the moment immediately after the water supply, the washing water that has climbed onto the dividing wall 41c without entering the opening 42 and the divided water flowing through the dividing wall 41c guided by the dividing wall ends 41e on both sides of the dividing member 50. A diverted supply of the washed water to the rim spout 44 occurs. However, such a diverted supply is immediately eliminated and becomes a direct one as described above. Further, since the run-up of the wash water is only a little over ten mm in the present embodiment, the energy of the run-off of the wash water is increased. The losses are virtually negligible.
この場合、既述したように分流調整部材５０を洗浄水給水孔４０を利用して交換したり開口４２の開口面積を変更すれば、上部流入部４１ａを経てリム噴出口４４に至る流れの洗浄水量（リムショット噴出量）と下部流入部４１ｂを経てゼット噴出口２２に至る流れの洗浄水量（ゼット噴出量）との比率を調整することができる。本実施例では、分流調整部材５０における開口４２の有効通路面積の調整により、リム噴出口４４からのリムショット噴出量がゼット噴出量に対して、約５０〜約７５％の水量となるようにした。よって、ゼット噴出量をリムショット噴出量より多くできるので、排出口２５への洗浄水吸込の確実化、延いてはこの洗浄水吸込によるトラップ内の速やかな洗浄水満水化を図ることができる。このため、早期のうちのサイホン作用誘発に有益である。なお、本実施例では、リム噴出口４４からの噴出水量が約１〜約２リットル、好ましくは約１．５リットルとなるようにした。また、上記の比率調整に際しては、リムショット噴出による洗浄能力（汚物剥離能力）を高くする場合には、開口面積が広くなるようにすればよい。 In this case, as described above, if the flow dividing adjustment member 50 is replaced by using the cleaning water supply hole 40 or the opening area of the opening 42 is changed, the flow that reaches the rim jet port 44 via the upper inflow portion 41a is cleaned. The ratio between the water amount (rim shot ejection amount) and the washing water amount (jet ejection amount) of the flow reaching the jet port 22 via the lower inflow portion 41b can be adjusted. In the present embodiment, by adjusting the effective passage area of the opening 42 of the branch flow adjusting member 50, the rim shot ejection amount from the rim ejection opening 44 becomes about 50 to about 75% of the water amount with respect to the Zet ejection amount. did. Therefore, since the jetting amount of the jet can be made larger than the jetting amount of the rim shot, the suction of the washing water into the discharge port 25 can be ensured, and the washing water can be quickly filled with the washing water by the suction of the washing water. Therefore, it is useful for inducing siphon action early. In this embodiment, the amount of water jetted from the rim jet port 44 is set to about 1 to about 2 liters, preferably about 1.5 liters. In addition, in the above ratio adjustment, when the cleaning ability (dirt removing ability) by rim shot ejection is increased, the opening area may be increased.
このように分流調整部材５０を便器本体と別体に構成したので、分流調整部材５０が有する開口４２の形状や有効面積等を均一化できる。よって、この分流調整部材５０を便器本体に装着した水洗便器では、リム噴出口４４とゼット噴出口２２への分流供給の信頼性を高めることができる。この場合、分流調整部材５０にシャッターを設けこれをアクチュエータにて駆動するよう構成すれば、開口４２の有効面積（通路面積）をその都度調整でして、リム噴出口４４とゼット噴出口２２への分流供給の比率、即ちリムショット噴出量とゼット噴出量の比率を種々変更できる。 で Since the diversion adjusting member 50 is configured separately from the toilet body, the shape, effective area, and the like of the opening 42 of the diversion adjusting member 50 can be made uniform. Therefore, in the flush toilet in which the diversion adjusting member 50 is attached to the toilet body, the reliability of the diversion supply to the rim outlet 44 and the jet outlet 22 can be improved. In this case, if a shutter is provided in the branch flow adjusting member 50 and the shutter is driven by an actuator, the effective area (passage area) of the opening 42 can be adjusted each time and the rim outlet 44 and the jet outlet 22 can be adjusted. , That is, the ratio between the rim shot ejection amount and the jet ejection amount can be variously changed.
このようにして分流供給された洗浄水は、上部流入部４１ａにあっては、分流後速やかにリム噴出口４４に流れて当該噴出口から噴出される。また、下部流入部４１ｂにあっても、分流後速やかにゼット噴出口２２に流れて当該噴出口から噴出される。したがって、両噴出系のリム噴出口４４とゼット噴出口２２からほぼ同時に洗浄水を噴出できる。 In the upper inflow portion 41a, the washing water thus divided and supplied flows into the rim ejection port 44 immediately after the division and is ejected from the ejection port. In addition, even in the lower inflow portion 41b, it flows into the jet port 22 immediately after the branch flow and is jetted from the jet port. Therefore, the washing water can be spouted almost simultaneously from the rim spout 44 and the jet spout 22 of both spouting systems.
リム噴出口４４は、図４に示すように、上記の分流調整部材５０による分流個所より低い位置に形成されている。よって、分流区画壁４１ｃで形成される上部流入部４１ａは、リム噴出口４４に向けて傾斜した給水経路を形成することになるので、リム噴出口４４の側から洗浄水が不用意に逆流しないようにできる。また、上部流入部４１ａを流れる間においては、洗浄水のエネルギロスを起こさないようにできるので、リム噴出口４４からは、大きな流速をもって勢い良く洗浄水を噴出できる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the rim outlet 44 is formed at a position lower than the diverting point by the diverting adjusting member 50. Therefore, since the upper inflow portion 41a formed by the branch wall 41c forms a water supply path inclined toward the rim outlet 44, the washing water does not flow back carelessly from the rim outlet 44 side. I can do it. In addition, during the flow through the upper inflow portion 41a, the energy loss of the cleaning water can be prevented from occurring, so that the cleaning water can be jetted out of the rim jet port 44 with a large flow velocity.
このリム噴出口４４は、ボール面上端のリム部２１の基部に位置し、このリム部２１はリム噴出口４４を覆うようにオーバーハングしている。よって、このリム部２１によりリム噴出口４４をその上方から見え難くでき、見栄えを向上できる。 The rim outlet 44 is located at the base of the rim 21 at the upper end of the ball surface, and the rim 21 is overhanging so as to cover the rim outlet 44. Therefore, the rim portion 21 makes it difficult to see the rim outlet 44 from above, and the appearance can be improved.
上記のように上部・下部の流入部を区画形成する分流区画壁４１ｃは、ボール部２０の側に、当該区画壁の一部が凸状に上側に盛り上がった***部４３を有する。この***部４３は、図３に示すように、その平面形状において、傾斜側面４３ａを有する。このため、***部４３は、上部流入部４１ａを流れてくる図中白抜き矢印の洗浄水の流れを、傾斜側面４３ａによってリム噴出口４４を指向した流れに矯正する。このため、リム噴出口４４に向かう洗浄水の流速を高めることができる。 分 As described above, the dividing wall 41c that forms the upper and lower inflow portions has a raised portion 43 in which a part of the dividing wall is raised upward in a convex shape on the ball portion 20 side. As shown in FIG. 3, the raised portion 43 has an inclined side surface 43a in its planar shape. For this reason, the raised portion 43 corrects the flow of the washing water indicated by the white arrow in the figure flowing through the upper inflow portion 41a into a flow directed to the rim outlet 44 by the inclined side surface 43a. Therefore, it is possible to increase the flow rate of the washing water toward the rim ejection port 44.
また、***部４３は、この***部のうち、ボール部２０の側の側壁４３ｂに、空気連通孔４７を有する。この側壁４３ｂ近辺は、上部流入部４１ａを流れてくる洗浄水が直接衝突することは無く、しかも上記のように洗浄水の流れが矯正されている。よって、洗浄水供給の間において、側壁４３ｂ近辺にはほとんど洗浄水が無いままとなるので、上部流入部４１ａの洗浄水が空気連通孔４７から下部流入部４１ｂに流れ込みにくい。或いは、連通孔の一部でしか洗浄水の流れ込みを起こさない。したがって、このような個所に設けた空気連通孔４７によって、好適に下部流入部４１ｂ内の空気を外部に排出できる。つまり、下部流入部４１ｂに洗浄水が流れ込むと、この洗浄水の流れ込みに伴って下部流入部４１ｂ内部の空気が空気連通孔４７を経て速やかに排出される。このため、下部流入部４１ｂ内は洗浄開始後に速やかに満水となり、早期のうちにゼット噴出口２２から洗浄水を噴出でき、これにともなう最本作用も早期に起こして洗浄機能を高めることができる。 隆 The raised portion 43 has an air communication hole 47 in the side wall 43b on the ball portion 20 side of the raised portion. In the vicinity of the side wall 43b, the cleaning water flowing through the upper inflow portion 41a does not directly collide, and the flow of the cleaning water is corrected as described above. Therefore, during the supply of the cleaning water, there is almost no cleaning water near the side wall 43b, so that the cleaning water in the upper inflow portion 41a does not easily flow from the air communication hole 47 into the lower inflow portion 41b. Alternatively, the washing water flows only in a part of the communication hole. Therefore, the air in the lower inflow portion 41b can be preferably discharged to the outside by the air communication holes 47 provided in such locations. That is, when the washing water flows into the lower inflow portion 41b, the air inside the lower inflow portion 41b is quickly discharged through the air communication hole 47 with the inflow of the washing water. For this reason, the inside of the lower inflow portion 41b is quickly filled with water after the start of the washing, and the washing water can be spouted from the jet port 22 at an early stage. .
リムショット噴出系のリム噴出口４４は、上記したように略水平方向に溝状に陥没形成された案内凹部２４ａに連通するよう形成されている。よって、リム噴出口４４から噴出された洗浄水（以下、このようにして噴出された洗浄水をリムショット洗浄水という）の挙動は次のようになる。つまり、図１に示すように、リムショット洗浄水ＲＳは、ボール部２０の案内凹部２４ａに案内されながらボール面上縁部に沿って略水平方向に旋回を起こし、この旋回する主流から各所で分岐した流れとなり、露出面２４に沿って伝わり落ちる。なお、上記した案内凹部２４ａの陥没形状は、図４や図５に示した形状に限定されるものではなく、この案内凹部２４ａに案内されながら旋回する洗浄水がその旋回主流から各所で分岐した流れとなって露出面２４に沿って伝わり落ちる形状であればよい。 リ ム The rim ejection port 44 of the rim shot ejection system is formed so as to communicate with the guide recess 24a formed in a substantially horizontal groove-like depression as described above. Therefore, the behavior of the washing water ejected from the rim ejection port 44 (hereinafter, the washing water ejected in this manner is referred to as rim shot washing water) is as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the rim shot cleaning water RS swirls in a substantially horizontal direction along the upper edge of the ball surface while being guided by the guide recess 24 a of the ball portion 20. It becomes a branched flow and travels down along the exposed surface 24. The depressed shape of the above-described guide recess 24a is not limited to the shapes shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the washing water that swirls while being guided by the guide recess 24a is branched at various points from the swirling mainstream. Any shape may be used as long as it flows down along the exposed surface 24 and flows down.
こうしてリムショット洗浄水ＲＳの主流から分岐した洗浄水の流れは、ボール面において滑るように移動し、ボール部の溜水ＲＷに反時計廻り方向の旋回力を付与する。この結果、ボール部２０内の溜水ＲＷは左回りの旋回流となって排出口２５から排出される。このように、リムショット洗浄水で溜水に旋回を起こすので、溜水および溜水中の汚物の排出効果が高まる。しかも、上記のように分岐した流れの洗浄水は、ボール面において旋回する際に、その有する旋回力によりボール面付着汚物を高い剥離力で剥離してボール部底部の凹部２６に落とし込む。なお、リム噴出口４４および上部流入部４１ａを図３における右方に形成したり、ゼット給水路４６を右方に湾曲形成するようにしてもよい。 流 れ The flow of the cleaning water branched from the main stream of the rim shot cleaning water RS thus slides on the ball surface, and imparts a counterclockwise turning force to the stored water RW of the ball portion. As a result, the stored water RW in the ball portion 20 is discharged from the discharge port 25 as a counterclockwise swirling flow. As described above, since the rim shot cleaning water causes swirl in the stored water, the drainage of the stored water and the dirt in the stored water is enhanced. In addition, the cleaning water of the flow branched as described above, when swirling on the ball surface, separates the dirt adhering to the ball surface with a high peeling force by the swirling force of the washing water and drops it into the concave portion 26 at the bottom of the ball portion. The rim outlet 44 and the upper inflow portion 41a may be formed to the right in FIG. 3, or the jet water supply passage 46 may be formed to be curved to the right.
また、リム噴出口４４とゼット噴出口２２に分流供給される際の洗浄水分流箇所、即ち分流調整部材５０の設置個所を、洗浄水給水孔４０の近傍とした。よって、リム噴出口４４から離れた位置にある洗浄水給水孔４０の近傍で洗浄水の分流を起こすことができるので、分流後の洗浄水をその流れに比較的乱れが起きない状態でリム噴出口４４に流して噴出できる。この結果、このリム噴出口４４からは、流れに乱れが無い状態で洗浄水をボール面上縁部に噴出することができる。従って、ボール面上縁部の案内凹部２４ａに沿って洗浄水が起こす略水平方向の旋回にも大きな乱れが起きないようにでき、ボール面上縁部から洗浄水が不用意に飛び出すようなことも無くなる。また、便器の洗浄性も高めることができる。 (4) Further, the washing water flow point when the flow is divided and supplied to the rim jet port 44 and the jet port 22, that is, the installation location of the split flow adjusting member 50 is set near the wash water supply hole 40. As a result, the washing water can be diverted in the vicinity of the washing water supply hole 40 located at a position distant from the rim jetting port 44, and the rinsing water after the diverging of the rinsing water is relatively undisturbed. It can be ejected by flowing to the outlet 44. As a result, the washing water can be spouted from the rim spout 44 to the upper edge of the ball surface without any disturbance in the flow. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a large disturbance from occurring even in the substantially horizontal turning caused by the cleaning water along the guide concave portion 24a at the upper edge of the ball surface, and to prevent the cleaning water from accidentally jumping out from the upper edge of the ball surface. Is also lost. In addition, the flushability of the toilet can be improved.
また、便器１０は、洗浄水給水孔４０を便器後方側で取り囲むよう設置された堰４１ｆを有し、この堰４１ｆと便器後方外壁との間に間隙を形成する。そして、堰４１ｆの上端を洗浄水給水孔４０周囲壁面近くまで伸ばして、この間隙に洗浄水が進入しないようにしている。このため、上部流入部４１ａと下部流入部４１ｂを合わせた流入部の内容積のうち、この間隙部にエアーが残っていてもゼット噴出口２２、リム噴出口４４に向けた洗浄水の分流供給を開始できる。よって、間隙容積分だけ、実質的な流入部内容積を減少させることができるので、早期のうちのボール部への洗浄水噴出が図ることができる。 便 Further, the toilet 10 has a weir 41f installed so as to surround the flush water supply hole 40 on the back side of the toilet, and forms a gap between the weir 41f and the outer wall of the toilet rear. Then, the upper end of the weir 41f is extended to near the wall surface around the cleaning water supply hole 40 to prevent the cleaning water from entering this gap. For this reason, even if air remains in this gap portion of the inner volume of the combined inflow portion of the upper inflow portion 41a and the lower inflow portion 41b, the diverted supply of the wash water toward the jet port 22 and the rim port 44 is provided. Can start. Therefore, the substantial inner volume of the inflow portion can be reduced by the gap volume, so that the washing water can be spouted to the ball portion at an early stage.
次に、排出機構について説明する。図４に示すように、汚物溜りとしての凹部２６の奥に形成された排出口２５の先には、水や汚物の流路（トラップ）として、排出口２５から斜め上方向に向けて湾曲する接続路３１と、接続路３１の湾曲方向に延出した後、横方向へ湾曲する上昇路３２と横方向から下方向に湾曲する下降路３３が、それぞれ形成されている。下降路３３の終端は、樹脂製の排水ソケット７０を介して、建築側の壁や床に設けられた排水立ち上げ管９０に接続される。 Next, the discharge mechanism will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, at the end of the discharge port 25 formed in the depth of the concave portion 26 serving as a waste pool, as a flow path (trap) for water and dirt, it curves obliquely upward from the discharge port 25. A connection path 31, a rising path 32 that extends in the bending direction of the connection path 31 and then curves in the lateral direction, and a descending path 33 that curves in the downward direction from the horizontal direction are formed, respectively. The end of the descending passage 33 is connected to a drainage riser pipe 90 provided on a wall or floor on the building side via a drainage socket 70 made of resin.
図４に示すように、洗浄動作前の便器１０においては、接続路３１，上昇路３２およびボール部２０内に、通常水位線ＷＬの高さに溜水ＲＷが溜まっている。この溜水ＲＷにより、排水機構からボール部２０への臭気の逆流や害虫の進入が防止される。 As shown in FIG. 4, in the toilet 10 before the cleaning operation, the reservoir RW is stored in the connection path 31, the ascending path 32, and the ball portion 20 at the height of the normal water level line WL. The pooled water RW prevents the backflow of odor and the invasion of pests from the drainage mechanism to the ball portion 20.
溜水ＲＷには、排出口２５に至るまでのボール部２０の内部に溜まる水（以下、この水をボール部溜水という）と、排出口２５以降の接続路３１および上昇路３２に溜まる水（以下、この水を流路内溜水という）と、便器１０の下部流入部４１ｂの下部およびゼット給水路４６に溜まる水（以下、この水をゼット溜水という）が含まれる。図４に示すように、流路内溜水は、接続路３１，上昇路３２および下降路３３からなる汚水の流路のうち、接続路３１から上昇路３２にかけての１箇所にのみ溜まっている。なお、「汚水」とは、大便や小便等の汚物や紙などが混ざることによって汚れた水をいう。 The pooled water RW includes water collected inside the ball portion 20 up to the discharge port 25 (hereinafter, this water is referred to as ball portion stored water) and water stored in the connection path 31 and the ascending path 32 after the discharge port 25. (Hereinafter, this water is referred to as “water stored in the flow path”), and the water stored in the lower part of the lower inflow portion 41b of the toilet 10 and in the jet water supply channel 46 (hereinafter, this water is referred to as water stored in jet). As shown in FIG. 4, the accumulated water in the flow path is accumulated only at one location from the connection path 31 to the ascending path 32 in the sewage flow path including the connecting path 31, the ascending path 32, and the descending path 33. . Note that “sewage” refers to water that is soiled due to mixing of waste such as stool and urine, paper, and the like.
このように構成された排水機構により、汚水や汚物が排出される仕組みについて説明する。洗浄水タンク３１０から洗浄水が放出されると、この放出洗浄水は、上部流入部４１ａと下部流入部４１ｂに分流供給され、両流入部において、その位置エネルギを運動エネルギとしてリム噴出口４４或いはゼット噴出口２２から噴出される。このゼット噴出口２２からの洗浄水噴出により、ゼット噴出口２２から上記のトラップに向けた洗浄水噴出が開始され、その後は、洗浄水の放出が継続される間において、上記のエネルギで放出洗浄水自体がゼット噴出口２２から継続して噴出される。また、このゼット噴出動作とほぼ同じ時期に、リム噴出口４４から洗浄水噴出が開始されて継続される。 (4) A mechanism for discharging sewage and waste by the drainage mechanism configured as described above will be described. When the wash water is discharged from the wash water tank 310, the discharged wash water is divided and supplied to the upper inflow portion 41a and the lower inflow portion 41b. It is jetted from the jet port 22. By jetting of the washing water from the jet port 22, jetting of the washing water from the jet port 22 toward the trap is started. Thereafter, while the jetting of the washing water is continued, the cleaning water is discharged with the above energy. The water itself is continuously jetted from the jet port 22. Further, at substantially the same time as the jetting operation of the jet, the jetting of the washing water from the rim jetting port 44 is started and continued.
ゼット噴出が開始され上昇路３２から下降路３３にかけての屈曲した部分（以下、屈曲部という）が満水状態になると、下降路３３内先端と溜水のボール部２０側との間に圧力差が生じて下方向への引き込み力が生じる。この引き込み力により、屈曲部よりも低い位置にある汚水が、汚物とともに一気に排水立ち上げ管９０に導かれる。こうしてサイホン作用が誘発される。 When the jetting of the jet starts and a bent portion (hereinafter referred to as a bent portion) from the ascending path 32 to the descending path 33 becomes full, a pressure difference is generated between the distal end in the descending path 33 and the ball portion 20 of the stored water. This causes a downward pulling force. By this drawing force, the sewage located at a position lower than the bent portion is led to the drainage rising pipe 90 together with the filth. Thus, a siphon effect is induced.
次に、上記した便器１０の製造方法について説明する。この製造方法は、分流区画壁４１ｃを有しない既存のリム噴出・ゼット噴出便器の製造方法と、ボール部パーツ１０ａの型成型に用いる型構造が異なるに過ぎない。図８は、便器１０のうちボール部パーツ１０ａの型成型に用いる型構成を説明する説明図である。なお、各型は多孔質の吸引型である。 Next, a method for manufacturing the above toilet bowl 10 will be described. This manufacturing method is different from the existing method for manufacturing a rim-spouting / Zet-squirting toilet bowl without the branch wall 41c only in the mold structure used for molding the ball part 10a. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a mold configuration used for molding the ball part 10a of the toilet 10. Each mold is a porous suction mold.
図示するように、ボール部パーツ１０ａの型成型に際しては、上型１００と、下型１０１と、合わせ型１０２を用いる。上型１００は、ボール面上端のリム部２１の上壁部１２１と洗浄水タンク３１０や図示しない便座の載置部上壁部１２２、載置部上部側壁部１２３を形成するための型である。この上型１００は、洗浄水給水孔４０形成用の凸部１００ａを有し、リム部２１並びに載置部の上端アールの境界で下型１０１、合わせ型１０３と接合する。 As shown in the figure, when molding the ball part 10a, an upper mold 100, a lower mold 101, and a mating mold 102 are used. The upper die 100 is a die for forming the upper wall 121 of the rim 21 at the upper end of the ball surface, the washing water tank 310, the mounting upper wall 122 of the toilet seat (not shown), and the mounting upper wall 123. . The upper mold 100 has a projection 100a for forming the cleaning water supply hole 40, and is joined to the lower mold 101 and the mating mold 103 at the boundary between the rim 21 and the upper end of the mounting portion.
下型１０１は、載置部下部側壁部１４１と、焼成後に分流区画壁４１ｃとなる下部壁部１４２と、堰４１ｆの設置部となる後方下部壁部１４３と、リム部２１の下部側壁部１４４と、***部４３となる***壁部１４５とを形成するための型である。この下型１０１は、分流調整部材５０の装着孔となる区画壁開口４１ｄ形成用の凸部１０１ａと、***壁部１４５形成用の凸状突起部１０１ｂを有する。合わせ型１０２は、リム部２１の内側側壁部１４５形成するための型であり、離型に支障が無いようリム周りに分割されている。これら各型を型接合して各型で形成されたキャビティに泥漿を注入し、各型を吸引処理すると、図示するように各型の型形状に倣って泥漿が着層する。その後、乾燥させて離型した後、リム噴出口４４とするための孔を***壁部１４５のボール部側側面に空けることで、ボール面上縁のリム部２１を含み、便器全体の上部構造を有するボール部パーツ１０ａが形成される。なお、このボール部パーツ１０ａに、堰４１ｆ形成用の泥漿板が洗浄水給水孔４０から挿入されて、後方下部壁部１４３にこの泥漿板がなじみ接着される。この際、泥漿板上端には、焼成時の型割れを防止するため、隙間が空けられる。 The lower mold 101 has a lower wall portion 141 serving as a placement portion lower wall portion, a lower wall portion 142 serving as a dividing wall 41c after firing, a rear lower wall portion 143 serving as an installation portion of the weir 41f, and a lower side wall portion 144 of the rim portion 21. And a mold for forming a raised wall portion 145 serving as the raised portion 43. The lower mold 101 has a convex portion 101a for forming a partition wall opening 41d that is a mounting hole for the flow dividing adjustment member 50, and a convex protrusion portion 101b for forming a raised wall portion 145. The mating mold 102 is a mold for forming the inner side wall portion 145 of the rim portion 21 and is divided around the rim so as not to hinder release. When the molds are joined to each other and the slurry is injected into a cavity formed by each mold, and each mold is subjected to a suction treatment, the slurry adheres according to the mold shape of each mold as shown in the figure. Then, after drying and releasing, a hole for the rim ejection port 44 is formed on the side surface of the raised wall portion 145 on the ball portion side, so that the upper structure of the entire toilet including the rim portion 21 at the upper edge of the ball surface is provided. Is formed. A mud plate for forming the weir 41f is inserted into the ball part 10a from the washing water supply hole 40, and the mud plate is fitted and adhered to the rear lower wall portion 143. At this time, a gap is provided at the upper end of the slurry plate to prevent mold cracking during firing.
また、既存の図示しない型（上型・下型或いは左右の型）を用いて、ボール部下方部や凹部２６、上記トラップ管路、便器本体下部部分等の残余の便器部分を含む便器下部構造を有する本体下部パーツ１０ｂを型成型して準備する。更には、本体下部パーツ１０ｂに形成済みのゼット給水路４６用の凹所をその経路に亘って遮蔽する給水路遮蔽パーツ１０ｃを成型して準備する。なお、この給水路遮蔽パーツ１０ｃの成型も既存のものと変わることは無い。 Further, using a conventional mold (not shown) (upper mold / lower mold or left and right molds), the lower part of the toilet including the lower part of the ball part and the concave part 26, the above-mentioned trap pipeline, and the remaining part of the toilet such as the lower part of the toilet body The main body lower part 10b having the shape is prepared by molding. Further, a water supply path shielding part 10c for shielding the recess for the jet water supply path 46 formed in the lower part 10b of the main body over the path is prepared by molding. The molding of the water supply path shielding part 10c is not different from the existing one.
こうして各パーツの準備が完了すると、各パーツを端面同士で接合させて、その接合個所を指や刷毛等でなじみ処理に処し、焼成する。このような製造工程を採るに当たり、ボール部パーツ１０ａ成型用の下型１０１の型形状を変更するだけでよいので、低コスト化を図ることができる。 (4) When the preparation of each part is completed, the parts are joined together at the end faces, and the joint is processed by a finger, a brush, or the like, and fired. In adopting such a manufacturing process, it is only necessary to change the shape of the lower mold 101 for molding the ball part 10a, so that the cost can be reduced.
以上説明した本実施例の水洗便器によれば、リム噴出口４４からのリムショット噴出とゼット噴出口２２からのゼット噴出に当たり、洗浄水給水孔４０からの流入洗浄水を、跳ね上げ等によりエネルギロスを起こすことなく速やかに各噴出口に分流供給する。このため、ボール面の付着汚物剥離を起こすリムショット噴出を、高い流速とエネルギ（位置エネルギ）をもって実行することができる。よって、リムショット噴出に伴なう洗浄能力を向上させることができる。しかも、ボール面上縁部に沿った略水平方向の洗浄水旋回を大きなエネルギと高流速のリムショット噴出で起こすことができる。よって、ボール部底部に直接洗浄水を噴出するゼット噴射が高流速・高エネルギであることと相俟って、便器洗浄能力をより高めることができる。 According to the flush toilet of the present embodiment described above, upon jetting the rim shot from the rim jet port 44 and jetting the jet from the jet jet port 22, the washing water flowing in from the wash water supply hole 40 is subjected to energy by jumping up or the like. Divide and supply quickly to each jet port without causing loss. For this reason, the rim shot ejection that causes the attached dirt to be removed from the ball surface can be executed with a high flow velocity and energy (potential energy). Therefore, the cleaning ability accompanying the rim shot ejection can be improved. In addition, the swirling of the washing water in the substantially horizontal direction along the upper edge portion of the ball surface can be caused by rim shot ejection with high energy and high flow rate. Therefore, in combination with the high flow velocity and the high energy of the jet jet that jets the washing water directly to the bottom of the ball portion, the toilet flushing ability can be further enhanced.
また、リムショット噴出のために上部流入部４１ａによりリム噴出口４４に導かれる洗浄水の流れを、***部４３の傾斜側面４３ａによってリム噴出口４４を指向した流れに矯正し、リム噴出口４４に向かう洗浄水の流速を高める。このため、リム噴出口４４からのリムショット噴出による洗浄水の旋回エネルギを高めることができ、ボール面の汚物剥離能力をより一層向上することができる。 Further, the flow of the washing water guided to the rim ejection port 44 by the upper inflow portion 41a for the rim shot ejection is corrected to the flow directed to the rim ejection port 44 by the inclined side surface 43a of the raised portion 43. Increase the flow rate of wash water toward. For this reason, the swirling energy of the cleaning water by the rim shot ejection from the rim ejection port 44 can be increased, and the ability to remove dirt from the ball surface can be further improved.
次に、変形例について説明する。図９は、変形例の便器１０Ａの上面を一部破断して示す説明図である。図示するように、この変形例の便器１０Ａは、リム部２１の内部に環状のリム給水路２４３を備える。そして、リム部２１からの洗浄水噴出を、リム部下面に異なる孔径或いは形状で複数設けた貫通孔から行う。本実施例では、この貫通孔として、大径の貫通孔２４４ａ、中程度の径の貫通孔２４４ｂ、小径の貫通孔２４４ｃ、略長方形の長孔の貫通孔２４４ｄ，ｅという５種類の形状の貫通孔を形成した。 Next, a modified example will be described. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a partially broken upper surface of the toilet 10A of the modified example. As shown in the figure, the toilet 10A of this modification includes an annular rim water supply passage 243 inside the rim portion 21. Then, the washing water is ejected from the rim portion 21 through a plurality of through holes provided with different hole diameters or shapes on the lower surface of the rim portion. In this embodiment, as the through-holes, there are five types of through-holes: a large-diameter through-hole 244a, a medium-diameter through-hole 244b, a small-diameter through-hole 244c, and a substantially rectangular long-hole through-hole 244d, e. A hole was formed.
また、開口４２で上記の実施例と同様に洗浄水を分流供給するための分流区画壁４１ｃは、これを挟んで上下に上部流入部４１ａと下部流入部４１ｂを重ねて分離区画する。そして、この分流区画壁４１ｃの上面でボール部２０の側には、略三角形状とされた***部２００を有する。この***部２００は、上部流入部４１ａを流れてきた洗浄水を、リム部左右の流れにその向きを上記各貫通孔を指向するよう矯正する。また、この***部２００の側壁に空けられた空気連通孔４７により、下部流入部41ｂの空気抜きを行う。 {Circle around (4)} Similarly to the above embodiment, the dividing wall 41c for diverting and supplying the washing water at the opening 42 vertically separates and separates the upper inflow portion 41a and the lower inflow portion 41b vertically. On the side of the ball portion 20 on the upper surface of the branch wall 41c, there is a raised portion 200 having a substantially triangular shape. The raised portion 200 corrects the cleaning water flowing through the upper inflow portion 41a so that the cleaning water flows to the left and right rim portions so as to be directed to the respective through holes. In addition, air is vented from the lower inflow portion 41b by the air communication hole 47 formed in the side wall of the raised portion 200.
このように構成された変形例の便器１０Ａにあっても、上記した実施例と同様の効果を奏することができる。 変 形 With the toilet 10A of the modified example configured as described above, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.
なお、上記した各貫通孔の管路向きを斜めにすることにより、これら貫通孔からの噴出洗浄水に旋回成分を付与するためのものとできる。こうすれば、便器１０Ａの前側方向に左右から付勢されて、左右のリム給水路２４３に供給された洗浄水は、各貫通孔の開孔径や洗浄水の付勢力に対応して分配されて、各貫通孔２４４ａ〜２４４ｅから吐出される。このとき、***部２００に近い位置である左右後方のリム部２１の裏側に形成された長孔の貫通孔２４４ｄからは、付勢力の大きな水が、便器の前方のやや左側或いは右方の露出面２４に向けて噴出される。また、便器前方側の左右の長孔の貫通孔２４４ｅからは、リム給水路２４３を右回り或いは左回りに流れてきた洗浄水が、便器前方よりの露出面２４に向けて多量に吐出される。この長孔の貫通孔２４４ｄ，２４４ｅから吐出された洗浄水が主流となって、噴出洗浄水に便器左右で異なる方向の旋回力が付与され、この旋回の際にボール面付着汚物を剥離できる。 By making the pipe direction of each of the above-mentioned through-holes oblique, it is possible to provide a swirling component to the cleaning water jetted from these through-holes. In this case, the flush water urged from the left and right in the front direction of the toilet 10A and supplied to the left and right rim water supply passages 243 is distributed according to the opening diameter of each through hole and the urging force of the flush water. Are discharged from the through holes 244a to 244e. At this time, water with a large urging force is exposed from the left side or right side of the front of the toilet from the long through-hole 244d formed on the rear side of the left and right rear rim portions 21 near the raised portion 200. It is ejected toward the surface 24. Further, a large amount of washing water flowing clockwise or counterclockwise through the rim water supply passage 243 is discharged from the left and right long through holes 244e on the front side of the toilet toward the exposed surface 24 from the front of the toilet. . The cleaning water discharged from the elongated through-holes 244d and 244e becomes the main stream, and the squirting cleaning water is imparted with swirling forces in different directions on the right and left sides of the toilet, so that the dirt adhering to the ball surface can be peeled off during the swirling.
また、小孔の貫通孔２４４ｃからの噴出洗浄水は、運動エネルギおよび水量の差に起因して、大孔の貫通孔２４４ａからの噴出洗浄水に巻き込まれてボール面に沿って流れ落ちる。この流れによっても、ボール面付着汚物を剥離できる。これらの汚物剥離に際しては、リム給水路２４３には高い流速とエネルギで洗浄水が上記のように分流供給されることから、高い汚物剥離能力を発揮できる。 洗浄 Further, the cleaning water spouted from the small through-hole 244c is caught in the cleaning water spouted from the large through-hole 244a and flows down along the ball surface due to the difference in kinetic energy and water amount. This flow can also remove the dirt adhering to the ball surface. At the time of removing these wastes, the cleaning water is divided and supplied to the rim water supply passage 243 at a high flow rate and high energy as described above, so that a high waste removal ability can be exhibited.
以上、本発明が実施される形態を説明したが、本発明はこうした実施例に何等限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において種々なる様態で実施し得ることは勿論である。 As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments at all, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist of the present invention. is there.
例えば、上記実施例では、洗浄水タンクとして、便器に連結されるロータンク型タンクを用いたが、ロータンク型タンク以外のタンク、例えば、便器と洗浄管を介して接続されてトイレの壁等に設置される隅付き型や平付き型のタンクを用いてもよい。この場合に、洗浄水タンクを高い位置に設置してハイタンクとすることも可能である。 For example, in the above embodiment, the low tank type tank connected to the toilet bowl was used as the wash water tank, but a tank other than the low tank type tank, for example, connected to the toilet bowl through the cleaning pipe and installed on the wall of the toilet, etc. Alternatively, a tank with a corner or a flat type may be used. In this case, it is also possible to install the washing water tank at a high position to form a high tank.
また、本発明をサイホンゼット式便器１０に適用した場合を例として説明したが、上記の便器と他の装置や部材との組み合わせた発明として把握することもできる。例えば、局部洗浄や暖房等の諸機能を実現する機能便座と組み合わせた衛生洗浄装置、収納用キャビネットや手洗装置と組み合わせたトイレキット装置、トイレ室内の構造体としての壁材，床材および天井材等を組み合わせたシステムトイレ装置等に適用することもできる。 Also, the case where the present invention is applied to the siphon jet toilet 10 has been described as an example, but it can be understood as an invention in which the above-mentioned toilet and other devices and members are combined.
