PURPOSE:To allow comfortable use of a toilet by converting water flow into rotating force at an impeller portion and decelerating the rotating force at a decelerating portion, then transmitting the decelerated rotating force to a key arranged drum portion for a music box portion. CONSTITUTION:In such a manner that aqueduct water 16a is led to an impeller 15 and discharged, the impeller 15 is put into rotation. Next, the rotation is transmitted to a gear mechanism 17 for deceleration to a preset rotating speed. Then, the decelerated rotating force puts a key arranged drum 10a for a music box 12a into rotation to hit a scale plate 11a for playing music.

を実現することができる．DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a music box that plays music using running water such as tap water. [Prior Art] Fig. 5 is a side view illustrating a water storage tank of a conventional tank-type flush toilet. In a water storage tank 1 of a conventional tank type flush toilet, when a water outlet lever 2 is operated, water in the water storage tank 1 flows out from a water outlet pipe 3 to a toilet bowl, thereby cleaning the toilet bowl. On the other hand, after the water in the water storage tank 1 has drained, tap water is introduced into the water storage tank 1 from the water inlet pipe 4 and is stored up to a predetermined water level. You can also store tap water in a storage tank.
When the water is introduced into the water storage tank 1, tap water also comes out from the hand-washing pipe 5 provided at the top of the water storage tank 1, making it possible to wash hands after defecating with this tap water. (Problem to be solved by the invention) Defecation is important for maintaining health, and we want to use it comfortably every day. However, while conventional toilets take care to cleanly dispose of excreted feces, little attention is paid to ensuring that the toilets are fun and enjoyable to use. The technical problem of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of conventional toilets and to make everyday life more fulfilling by realizing a toilet that can be used happily and pleasantly. ．． [Means for Solving the Problems] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the basic principle of the present invention. The present invention is characterized in that the music box is made to play by the flow of tap water. That is, the impeller unit 6 converts the water flow consisting of the incoming water 7 and the floating water 8 into rotational force, the rotational force is decelerated by the deceleration unit 9, and this decelerated rotational force is transmitted to the keying drum unit 10 and the scale board unit. The keying drum section 10 of the music box section 12 consisting of the music box section 11 is configured to transmit the information to the key drum section 10. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the configuration is such that the rotational force of the impeller 6 is transmitted to the power generation section 13, the generated energy is sent to the motor section l4, and the rotational force of the motor section 14 is transmitted to the deceleration section 9. You can. On the other hand, the impeller section 6 and the reduction section 9 in FIG. 1, or the impeller section 6 and the power generation section 13 in FIG. Rotational force may be transmitted by attractive coupling using a combination of magnetic materials. / [Operation] The music box of the present invention operates as follows. That is, in FIG. 1, (1) When human water 7 flows into the impeller part 6, the kinetic energy of the incoming water 7 is converted into rotational kinetic energy in the impeller part 6, and the floating water 8 flows out. ■The rotational motion of the impeller section 6 is transmitted to the deceleration section 9 and decelerated to a predetermined rotational speed. (2) The rotational output of the deceleration section 9 is transmitted to the keying drum section 10 of the music box section 12, and the keying drum section 10, which rotates at a predetermined speed, strikes keys on the scale board section IT to produce a performance. That's it. In addition, in the case of FIG. 2, after the rotational kinetic energy of the impeller section 6 is converted into electrical energy by the power generation section 13,
! f It operates in exactly the same manner as in Fig. 1, except that the motor section 14 is driven to rotate by electrical energy. On the other hand, the connection between the impeller part 6 and the reduction part 9 in FIG. 1, or the impeller part 6 and the power generation part 13 in FIG.
Alternatively, in the case of an attractive coupling using a combination of a magnet and a magnetic material, a magnet that rotates together with the impeller is provided in the impeller section 6, and a magnetic material or a magnet is provided on the rotating shaft of the deceleration section 9 or the power generation section 13. As a result, when the impeller part 6 rotates, the magnet provided on the impeller part 6 also rotates, and the magnetic material provided on the shaft of the deceleration part 9 or the power generation part 13 or Magnets also rotate. Therefore, there is no need to directly extract the rotation of the impeller part 6 by the shaft, and since the impeller part 6 can be completely sealed, there is no need to worry about water leakage. [Example] (1) Example of a water supply music box FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the water supply music box of the present invention. In order to convert the kinetic energy of the first water into rotational energy, a propeller-type impeller 15 is used, and the impeller 15
By introducing tap water 16a into the tank and discharging it (tap water 16b), the impeller 15 rotates. This rotation is transmitted to the gear mechanism 17 via the shaft, and the rotational speed is reduced to a required predetermined rotational speed. The output shaft of the gear mechanism 17 at a predetermined rotation speed rotates the keying drum 10a of the music box 12a, and the scale board 1
Play by pressing key 1a. Here, the purpose of obtaining the above-mentioned predetermined rotation speed is to
This is to set the playing speed of a to the required speed. (2) Application examples of water supply music boxes■ Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating application applications of water supply music boxes, and is a side view of the water storage tank of a tank-type flush toilet. In this application example, the water supply music box of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 is attached to the water storage tank of a conventional tank-type flush toilet shown in Fig. 5. That is, the tap water introduction part of the water supply music box 18 is manufactured so as to fit into the water outlet pipe 5 for handwashing, and the water supply music box 18 is attached to the water outlet of the water outlet pipe 5 for handwashing. Therefore, when the water outlet lever 2 is operated to clean the toilet bowl, tap water comes out from the handwash outlet pipe 5, and the water tap music box 18 plays a musical performance. As a result, the waterworks music box 18 plays a musical performance after using the toilet, thereby increasing the feeling of refreshment after defecation and at the same time realizing a fun and enjoyable toilet experience. (3) Application example of water supply music box
By installing the , you will be able to do kitchen work more happily and comfortably. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the water supply music box of the present invention, the music box plays music after using the toilet, which increases the refreshing feeling after defecating and makes the user feel happy and happy. I'll give it to you. Therefore, it is possible to create a toilet that not only enriches daily life but also provides a positive environment for maintaining health.
