Description

  Aspects of the invention generally relate to bathroom units.

  In order to enhance the design of the bathroom unit, for example, a bathtub having a shape in which both end portions of the rim portion on the long side of the bathtub are higher than the center portion is desired. As a result of the study of the present inventors, the rim part on the long side of the bathtub is inclined, curved, bowed, or stepped, so that both ends of the rim part on the long side of the bathtub are It is possible to make it higher than the central part.

  Among bathtubs used in bathroom units, there is a bathtub in which a surface on which a bathroom wall panel is placed is provided on the outer periphery of a rim portion of the bathtub. At this time, when the height of the rim portion of the bathtub is substantially constant over the entire circumference, the wall panel disposed on the long side of the bathtub and the wall panel disposed on the short side of the bathtub are aligned. By applying silicon (sealant) at the position or attaching a joint material, it is possible to ensure water-stopping at the corner of the bathtub, that is, at the corner of the bathroom.

  That is, the corner of the bathroom is a joint between the wall panels. Therefore, a gap is generated between the wall panels. On the other hand, water-tightness can be ensured by filling the gap between the wall panels with silicon or joint material. This is possible when the level difference between the rim portion of the bathtub and the surface on which the bathroom wall panel is placed is relatively low.

  However, when the step between the rim of the bathtub and the surface on which the wall panel of the bathroom is placed is relatively high, such as when both ends of the rim on the long side of the bathtub are higher than the center. However, it is not easy to fill the gap between the wall panels with silicon or attach joint material to the gap between the wall panels.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the rim portion 310 of the bathtub 300 has a rim upper surface 311 and a rim outer surface 313. In addition, a wall panel placement portion having a rim outer edge portion 314, a wall panel placement surface 315, and a rim protrusion 317 is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the rim portion 310. The wall panel placement surface 315 is formed on the upper surface of the rim outer edge portion 314. In other words, the upper surface of the rim outer edge portion 314 functions as the wall panel placement surface 315.

  The rim outer surface 313 is connected to the rim upper surface 311 and provided substantially orthogonal to the rim upper surface 311. The rim outer edge portion 314 and the wall panel placement surface 315 are provided on the outer peripheral portions of the short side rim portion 310 a of the bathtub 300 and the long side rim portion 310 b of the bathtub 300. However, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the rim outer edge portion 314 and the wall panel placement surface 315 are not provided on the outer peripheral portion of the long side rim portion 310 b on the washing floor 200 side.

  The wall panel placement surface 315 is connected to the rim outer surface 313. That is, the rim outer surface 313 connects the rim upper surface 311 and the wall panel placing surface 315. In other words, a step is generated between the rim upper surface 311 and the wall panel placement surface 315. The rim protrusion 317 extends upward from the outer end of the rim outer edge 314.

  Here, in the specification of the present application, the “outside” means the outside of the bathtub, which is the outside seen from the inside of the bathtub where water (hot water) can be stored and the user can enter it. On the other hand, in the present specification, “inside” refers to the inside of a bathtub and the inside of the bathtub in which water (hot water) can be stored and a user can enter. In the present specification, the term “water” includes not only cold water but also heated hot water.

  A packing 645 is provided on the wall panel placement surface 315. The packing 645 is formed of, for example, a foam material or rubber and has elasticity. A wall panel 500 is erected on the packing 645.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the corner portion C <b> 1 of the bathroom unit 10, the short side wall panel 500 a placed on the short side wall panel placement surface 315 of the bathtub 300, and the length of the bathtub 300. Long side wall panels 500b mounted on the side wall panel mounting surface 315 are erected substantially orthogonal to each other. The structure of the short side wall panel 500a is the same as the structure of the long side wall panel 500b. Therefore, in the following description, the short side wall panel 500a and the long side wall panel 500b are collectively referred to simply as the wall panel 500.

  Wall panel 500 includes a base material 510 and a steel plate 520. As the base material 510, for example, a gypsum board is used. The steel plate 520 is attached to the surface of the base material 510 for reinforcing the entire wall panel 500, for example. As shown in FIG. 5, the steel plate 520 has a lower end portion 523 that is bent from the surface toward the lower end 511 side of the base material 510.

  The wall panel 500 is mounted on the wall panel mounting surface 315 via the packing 645 in a state where the steel plate 520 is located on the side of the bathtub 300 (side in the bathroom unit 10), for example, as viewed from the base material 510. In a state where the wall panel 500 is placed on the wall panel placement surface 315 via the packing 645, the lower end portion 523 of the steel plate 520 presses the rim outer edge portion 314 via the packing 645. Thereby, it can suppress that the water in the bathroom unit 10 leaks to the outer side of the wall panel 500 from between the lower end part 523 of the steel plate 520 and the wall panel mounting surface 315. Moreover, the error which arises in the manufacturing process of the wall panel 500 or the assembly operation of the bathroom unit 10 is absorbed, and the wall panel 500 can be erected more reliably.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the joining member fixture 610 is fixed to the rim protrusion 317 by a fastening member 692 (see FIG. 4) such as a screw. A joining member 620 is fixed to an upper portion of the joining member fixture 610 by a fastening member 691 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) such as a screw. In other words, the joining member fixture 610 fixes and joins the joining member 620. The joining member 620 can connect or join adjacent wall panels 500 to each other. And the joining member 620 can make the wall panel 500 stand on the wall panel mounting surface 315.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the joining member 620 has a hollow structure in which a thin plate is bent. The joining member 620 includes folded portions 621 that are folded at both ends. The folded portion 621 has a spring property.
The steel plate 520 of the wall panel 500 has folded portions 521 that are folded back to the back side (base material 510 side) at both ends. The folded portion 521 of the steel plate 520 has a spring property like the folded portion 621 of the joining member 620.

  When attaching the short side wall panel 500 a and the long side wall panel 500 b to the joining member 620, the folded part 521 of the steel plate 520 is fitted between the folded parts 621 at both ends of the joining member 620. When the folded portion 521 of the steel plate 520 is fitted between the folded portions 621 at both ends of the joining member 620, the folded portion 521 pushes between the folded portions 621 at both ends of the joining member 620. When the folded portion 521 of the steel plate 520 is fitted, the short side wall panel 500a and the long side wall panel 500b are erected on the wall panel placement surface 315 with the bonding member 620 interposed therebetween.

  In order to ensure the water stoppage of the gap 551 at the joining position (matching position) between the short side wall panel 500a and the long side wall panel 500b, for example, a joint material (not shown) is provided in the gap 551 at the joining position between the wall panels 500. Is attached. In the corner portion C <b> 1 of the bathroom unit 10, a joint material (not shown) is inserted into the gap 551 at the joint position between the wall panels 500 and is inserted from the rim upper surface 311 toward the wall panel placement surface 315.

  However, in the corner portion C <b> 1 of the bathroom unit 10, the gap 551 at the joint position between the wall panels 500 and the gap between the bathtub 300 and the wall panel 500 are relatively narrow. Therefore, when the level difference between the rim upper surface 311 and the wall panel placement surface 315 is relatively high, it is difficult to cause the joint material to reach the wall panel placement surface 315. Then, a gap is generated between the wall panel placement surface 315 and the lower end of the joint material. Therefore, there is a possibility that the water stoppage at the corner portion C1 of the bathroom unit 10 cannot be secured. In addition, it may be difficult for the operator to check whether the joint material has reached the wall panel placement surface 315.

  On the other hand, in the bathroom unit 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 6, and 7, in the corner portion C <b> 1 of the bathroom unit 10, the bathtub 300 and the joining member fixture 610. A corner piece (sealant leakage prevention part) 630 is provided between the two. The corner piece 630 is mounted on the wall panel mounting surface 315 via the packing 645 and extends to the vicinity of the rim upper surface 311. Specifically, the position of the upper surface 630 a of the corner piece 630 is lower than the position of the rim upper surface 311. The step between the rim upper surface 311 and the upper surface 630a of the corner piece 630 is, for example, about 5 millimeters (mm) to 10 mm.

  According to this, in the corner portion C1 of the bathroom unit 10, the joint material can be inserted from the rim upper surface 311 toward the wall panel placement surface 315 and can reach the upper surface 630a of the corner piece 630 relatively easily. That is, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a gap between the upper surface 630a of the corner piece 630 and the lower end of the joint material. Further, it can be relatively easily confirmed whether or not the joint material has reached the upper surface 630a of the corner piece 630.

  The corner piece 630 has a packing 631. The packing 631 is formed of, for example, a foam material or rubber and has elasticity. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the wall panel 500 is in contact with the packing 631 of the corner piece 630 and receives a force from the packing 631 of the corner piece 630 when the wall panel 500 is erected on the wall panel placement surface 315 by the joining member 620. is recieving. That is, the packing 631 of the corner piece 630 is pushed from the wall panel 500 and deformed. Thereby, the corner piece 630 is pushed to the rim outer surface 313 side.

  Further, the corner piece 630 is in contact with the joining member fixture 610 and receives a force from the joining member fixture 610 in a state where the corner piece 630 is provided between the bathtub 300 and the joining member fixture 610. The corner piece 630 is pushed toward the rim outer surface 313.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a seal agent receiving portion 641 is attached to the rim outer surface 313 below the rim upper surface 311. The sealant receiving portion 641 is formed of, for example, a foam material or rubber and has elasticity. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the sealant receiving portion 641 has, for example, a band shape, and is attached to the rim outer surface 313 excluding the rim outer surface 313 facing the wash floor 200.

  In a state where the wall panel 500 is erected on the wall panel placement surface 315 by the joining member 620, the wall panel 500 is in contact with the sealant receiving portion 641 while being in contact with the packing 631 of the corner piece 630. is recieving. That is, the sealant receiving portion 641 is pushed from the wall panel 500 and deformed. In addition, the corner piece 630 receives force from the wall panel 500 and the joining member fixture 610 and is pushed toward the rim outer surface 313, and thus is in contact with the sealant receiving portion 641. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 4, 6, and 7, the sealant receiving portion 641 in the corner portion C <b> 1 is crushed by the corner piece 630.

  In this manner, as shown in FIG. 5, a sealant reservoir 642 that can store a sealant 647 such as silicon is formed above the sealant receiving part 641. And the sealing property between the bathtub 300 and the wall panel 500 is securable by apply | coating the sealing agent 647 to the sealing agent reservoir 642.

  At this time, as described above, the corner piece 630 is provided between the rim upper surface 311 and the wall panel placement surface 315 in the corner portion C1 of the bathroom unit 10. Therefore, the corner piece 630 can be made apparently low in level difference between the rim upper surface 311 and the wall panel placement surface 315. The corner piece 630 receives the sealing agent 647 applied to the sealing agent reservoir 642 at its upper surface 630a, thereby suppressing (damping) the sealing agent 647 from leaking downward from the sealing agent receiving part 641. . Thereby, the corner part C1 of the bathroom unit 10 in which the clearance gap 551 is formed in the joining position of the short side wall panel 500a and the long side wall panel 500b can be more reliably stopped.

  As described above, the sealant receiving portion 641 is attached to the rim outer surface 313 except for the rim outer surface 313 facing the wash floor 200. Further, the corner piece 630 is in contact with the sealant receiving portion 641. Therefore, the sealant reservoir 642 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the rim portion 310 where the short side wall panel 500a and the long side wall panel 500b are erected. That is, the sealant reservoir 642 is formed without interruption on the rim outer surface 313 except for the rim outer surface 313 facing the washing place floor 200. Thereby, the water stop in the corner part C1 of the bathroom unit 10 can be ensured more reliably.

  Further, the corner piece 630 is pushed toward the bathtub 300 side, that is, the rim outer surface 313 side by the force received from the wall panel 500 and the joining member fixture 610 and is in contact with the sealant receiving portion 641. Therefore, a special member for fixing the corner piece 630 is not necessary. Thereby, the water stop structure of the bathroom unit 10 is realizable with the more simplified structure and the reduced cost.

Next, the assembly procedure of the bathroom unit 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.
First, the gantry 100 is installed on a building floor (not shown). Subsequently, the washing floor 200 is installed at a predetermined position on the gantry 100. Subsequently, the bathtub 300 is installed at a predetermined position on the gantry 100, for example, on the side of the washing floor 200. In consideration of workability, it is more preferable to attach the sealant receiving portion 641 to the rim outer surface 313 of the bathtub 300 before installing the bathtub 300 on the gantry 100. However, after the bathtub 300 is installed on the gantry 100, the sealant receiving portion 641 may be attached to the rim outer surface 313 of the bathtub 300.

  Subsequently, the joining member fixture 610 is fixed to the rim protrusion 317 of the bathtub 300 by the fastening member 692. Subsequently, the corner piece 630 is installed between the bathtub 300 and the joining member fixture 610. Subsequently, the joining member 620 is fixed to the joining member fixture 610 by the fastening member 691.

  Subsequently, the wall panel 500 is erected on the wall panel placement surface 315. Specifically, the short side wall panel 500 a and the long side wall panel 500 b are attached to the joining member 620. At this time, the folded portion 521 of the steel plate 520 is fitted between the folded portions 621 at both ends of the joining member 620. Thereby, the short side wall panel 500a and the long side wall panel 500b can be erected on the wall panel placement surface 315 in a state of being orthogonal to each other with the bonding member 620 interposed therebetween.

  Subsequently, a joint material is attached to the gap 551 at the joint position between the short side wall panel 500a and the long side wall panel 500b. Specifically, the joint material is fitted into the gap 551 at the joint position between the short side wall panel 500a and the long side wall panel 500b, and the joint material is inserted from the rim upper surface 311 toward the wall panel placement surface 315. To do. Then, the joint material is inserted until the joint material comes into contact with the upper surface 630a of the corner piece 630. At this time, since the step between the rim upper surface 311 and the wall panel placement surface 315 is apparently lowered by the corner piece 630, the joint material is relatively easily inserted until it contacts the upper surface 630a of the corner piece 630. can do.

  Subsequently, a sealant 647 such as silicon is applied to the sealant reservoir 642 formed above the sealant receiving part 641. The sealing agent 647 is applied on the outer peripheral portion of the rim portion 310 on which the short side wall panel 500a and the long side wall panel 500b are erected. At this time, the corner piece 630 can receive the sealing agent 647 applied to the sealing agent reservoir 642 on its upper surface 630a. Therefore, the sealing agent 647 can be prevented from leaking downward from the sealing agent receiving portion 641. Thereby, the corner part C1 of the bathroom unit 10 in which the clearance gap 551 is formed in the joining position of the short side wall panel 500a and the long side wall panel 500b can be more reliably stopped.

  The structure and assembly procedure of the corner portion C1 of the bathroom unit 10 are the same in the corner portion C2 opposite to the corner portion C1. Therefore, the description regarding the corner portion C2 of the bathroom unit 10 is omitted. Moreover, also in the following description, the description regarding the corner part C2 of the bathroom unit 10 is abbreviate | omitted.

FIG. 8 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a specific example of the corner piece of the present embodiment.
A corner piece 630 illustrated in FIG. 8 includes a base 633 and a packing 631. The base 633 is made of, for example, resin or metal. The packing 631 is formed of, for example, a foam material or rubber and has elasticity.

  The base 633 is formed with a first surface 635 pressed against the rim outer surface 313 in the corner portion of the bathtub 300 and a second surface 637 pressed against the joining member fixture 610 (see FIG. 6). ing. When the corner piece 630 is viewed in the longitudinal direction, the first surface 635 has a substantially L-shape.
