JP3633336B2 - Connection structure between the remote control unit of the unit bath and the drain plug opening / closing mechanism - Google Patents

Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a connection structure between a remote control unit of a unit bath and a drain plug opening / closing mechanism unit.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the prior art, an operation unit that performs remote operation on the bathtub body 151, a transmission unit that enables opening and closing of the bathtub drain plug, and a drain plug are integrally assembled, and the floor pan 150 that constitutes a unit bath is integrated with the floor pan 150 after the integral assembly. The bathtub main body 151 was installed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional technology, an operation unit that performs remote operation on the bathtub body, a transmission unit that enables opening and closing of the bathtub drain plug, and the drain plug are assembled together, and then the bathtub after the assembly is mounted on the floor pan of the unit bath. Since it was installed, it was necessary to protect the connection part between the bathtub drain plug and the transmission part that can open and close the bathtub drain plug at the time of bathtub installation using a drain cloth and to drain through the drain elbow.
In recent years, aging has progressed, and bathtubs that can be remotely operated are eagerly desired in unit baths with a small difference in level at the entrance and exits, and in unit baths that have a low height to be inserted into the bathtub from the washing area. This is because when an elderly person cleans a bathtub, the bathtub drain plug can be easily opened and closed by remote control without taking an unreasonable posture.
[0004]
However, in the conventional technology, the bathtub was installed on the floor pan of the unit bath after assembling the operation part for remote control to the bathtub body, the transmission part for enabling the bathtub drain plug to be opened and closed, and the drain plug. Because it was necessary to protect the drainage cloth using a drainage cloth so that the connection part between the bathtub drainage plug and the transmission part that can open and close the bathtub drainage plug was not damaged when installing the bathtub, Requires a settable clearance, and the bathtub installation height becomes high. This affects the height of the direct penetration from the washing area to the bathtub.
[0005]
An object of the present invention may be one coercive lower the height narrowing straddling the unit bus from washing area to the bathtub, it is to provide a coupling structure between the discharge valve opening and closing mechanism portion remote control of the unit bus.
[0006]
[Means for solving the problems and their functions and effects]
In order to solve the above problems, in the invention of claim 1 , a remote control unit is attached to a rim surface of a bathtub installed on a floor pan, a wire is fixed to the remote control unit, and the wire is connected to the bottom of the bathtub drain outlet. The installation height of the bathtub was kept low by passing the cover of the drain trap attached to the floor pan from above and passing through the drain trap and connecting it to the drain opening / closing mechanism attached to the bottom of the bathtub.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In order to further clarify the configuration and operation of the present invention described above, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
After installing the bathtub main body 1 with the bathtub drainage fitting set on the bathtub installation side floor pan 11a of the unit bath, the remote control part is attached to the bathtub rim surface.
After the wire-8 is passed through and fixed from the center of the operation part, it is connected to the mechanical box 3 in the drain valve opening / closing mechanism part through the 12 part of the trap at the bottom of the bathtub drain, and after the sealing lid 4 is inserted, the water leaks from the cover 10 In order to prevent this, the rubber bush 9 can be screwed in and drained by remote operation, and the bathtub drain plug can be opened and closed remotely without taking an unreasonable posture during drainage. The factor that drains by connecting the plug to the drain plug is eliminated, and on the back side of the bathtub, drainage from the bathtub does not leak, so it is possible to prevent the occurrence of mold and off-flavors. it can. Moreover, the bathtub span height between the bathtub main body 1 upper surface and the floor pan 11 upper surface can be set low.
[0008]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention exhibits the following effects by the above configuration.
According to the present invention, the height of the bathtub installation can be suppressed to the minimum by passing the drain plug transmission wire through the drain trap portion attached to the lower part of the floor pan and connecting it to the drain plug opening / closing mechanism portion. .
[0009]
In addition, by setting the bathtub installation height low, the bathtub spanning height can be kept low, the burden of lifting the foot when going into and out of the bathtub can be reduced, and the drain plug in the bathtub It is now possible to eliminate connection clasps, and it is no longer necessary to drain by draining by limbs. Furthermore, in the cold season of winter, the bath can be drained remotely from the dressing room without entering the bathroom.
