Description

The present invention relates to a floor structure of a bathroom washing area and a bathroom unit.

Conventionally, in order to improve the drainage performance of the floor surface of a washing area, the floor surface is inclined toward the drain port. For example, in a washing area floor as described in Patent Document 1, the floor is divided into five parts along a ridgeline, and is sloped toward the drain. In this way, by dividing the floor into a plurality of sections and sloping them at different slopes toward the drain, water flow can be effectively guided toward the drain.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2016-065391

If a chair, wash basin, or other installation surface is placed across the boundary between the divided floor surfaces, it will cause wobbling during use. This situation is more likely to occur if the floor surface is divided into many parts and the inclination angle is changed.

Drains are generally placed at the edges of the floor rather than in the center, and if the ridge line extends from the drain to the top of a rectangular floor, it will cross largely near the center of the floor. It's easy to get into trouble. For this reason, it has been difficult to arrange a flat portion with a constant inclination angle at an arbitrary location.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and is a rectangular bathroom washing floor structure, comprising: a drainage section provided with a drainage port inside; and at least two inclined surface sections that slope downward toward the drainage section. , the at least one ridgeline formed at the boundary between the sloped surface parts has one end located in the drainage part and the other end located outside the apex of the rectangle. Provide floor structure.

1 is a diagram showing a bathroom unit according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a floor structure 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure which shows the floor structure 21 based on 2nd Embodiment of this invention.

<First embodiment>
The bathroom unit 100 of this embodiment includes a rectangular floor structure 1, a shower 2, a faucet 3, a bathtub 4, and a counter 5. Furthermore, the floor structure 1 has three sloped surface parts 10 and a drainage part 11, and a straight valley-shaped ridgeline 12 is formed between the sloped surface parts 10. The three inclined surface parts 10 are inclined so that water flows toward the drainage part 11 (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2), and have good drainage performance. The inclined surface portion 10 may have water repellency on its inclined surface in order to improve drainage performance.

By configuring the floor structure 1 from the three inclined surface parts 10, drainage performance can be improved and the area of the flat part can be secured. If the number of divisions is large, each section has an inclination along the route to the drainage groove, thereby providing high drainage performance. However, if the number of divided sheets is large, the number of ridge lines will increase, making it difficult to secure a wide flat area. In this regard, if there are about three sheets, a wide flat area can be secured while maintaining good drainage performance. However, the number of inclined surface portions 10 that constitute the floor structure 1 does not necessarily have to be three.

The wide flat portion may be placed around the shower 2 or faucet 3, for example. There is no need to worry about the troughs of the ridges under the feet, and the occurrence of wobbling when a chair or the like is placed on the floor can be suppressed, improving the workability of body washing.

The drain part 11 is formed in a concave shape in the floor structure 1, and drains water after use through a drain port provided inside. The drainage part 11 is covered with a lid, and water flowing on the surface of the inclined surface part 10 flows into the gap between the slope part 10 and the lid and is drained. The upper surface of the lid has an appearance unified with the surface of the inclined surface section 10 and forms part of the floor structure 1. This improves the design while maintaining drainage performance.

The drainage part 11 is arranged on the bathtub 4 side of the floor structure 1. It is preferable that the drainage part 11 is arranged on the side far from the entrance of the bathroom. If a drain is placed where users pass through when entering the room, where dirty water or hair collects after washing, the cleanliness will be degraded and it will cause unpleasant odors and other discomfort to the users. This is to make it happen. Furthermore, it is preferable that the drainage part 11 is arranged on the long side of the rectangle rather than on the short side. This is because the drainage channel on the floor becomes shorter and the amount of water remaining on the floor is reduced.

One end of the two straight valley-shaped ridgelines 12 is located on the outer periphery of the drainage section 11, and the other end is located on the long side of the rectangular floor structure 1 on the side where the drainage section 11 is not arranged. That is, the ridgeline 12 does not extend toward the short side of the rectangular floor structure 1. Thereby, a wide flat surface without ridge lines 12 can be provided on the short side of the floor structure 1.

Therefore, for example, when the entrance door is placed on the short side, the valley of the ridge line 12 is far from the entrance, and the stable flat part is widely placed near the entrance, making it safe for users to enter the room. You can get a feeling. In addition, the other end of the valley-shaped ridge line 12 does not come directly below the entrance door, and the floor height under the entrance door can be kept constant, so the level difference for preventing water leakage can be reduced.

A counter 5 is installed on the short side opposite the entrance. There is no ridge line 12 on the short side, and a wide flat surface can be secured even near the counter, so when approaching the counter 5 and doing work such as washing the body, there is no need to worry about the valleys of the floor structure 1 under your feet. Since the chair is less likely to rattle, workability and comfort are improved.

The upper part of the floor structure 1 may be covered with tiles. The floor surface is covered with tiles, which improves the design, and the glaze on the tile surface makes the surface easy to clean. Note that by using V-shaped tiles that have creases along the ridgeline in advance for the tiles placed on the ridgeline 12, the tiles can be laid all over the upper part of the floor structure 1 even if there is a ridgeline.

As mentioned above, according to the floor structure 1 of the washing area of this embodiment, the following effects are produced.

(1) The floor structure 1 of the washing area according to the present embodiment is a rectangular bathroom washing area floor structure 1, which includes a drainage part 11 having a drainage port inside, and three slopes that slope downward toward the drainage part 11. Two ridge lines 12 formed at the boundaries between the inclined surface parts 10 have one end located in the drainage part 11 and the other end located outside the apex of the rectangle. This is the floor structure 1 of the bathroom washing area.

Thereby, in the rectangular bathroom washing area floor structure 1, it becomes possible to arrange a wide planar portion at an arbitrary location. The stability of the feet is improved at the locations where the flat parts are placed, and the wobbling of chairs, etc. can be suppressed. By not arranging the end of the ridge line 12 on the floor surface on the side where the entrance is desired, it is possible to reduce the level difference under the entrance door.

(2) In (1), the other end of the ridgeline 12 is located on the long side of the rectangle.

As a result, a wide flat floor can be disposed on the short side, and when the entrance is disposed on the short side, the user can feel secure when entering the room. Workability and comfort are improved when the counter 5 is placed on the short side.

(3) In (1), the entrance door of the bathroom is located on the short side of the rectangle.

As a result, the end of the ridge line 12 is not placed below the entrance door, so it is possible to reduce the level difference under the entrance door.

(4) In (1), the drainage portion 11 is located on the long side of the rectangle.

This shortens the drainage flow path on the floor and reduces residual water on the floor.

(5) The bathroom unit 100 of this embodiment includes the floor panel 10 of (1).

As a result, the bathroom unit 100 improves the stability of the footing where the flat part is placed, and by not placing the end of the ridge line 12 on the floor surface on the side where the entrance is desired, the level difference under the entrance door can be reduced. is possible.

Embodiments of the bathroom unit equipped with the floor structure of the present invention are not limited to a type in which a bathtub 4 and a shower are integrated as shown in FIG. It may be a unit.

<Second embodiment>
The floor structure 21 differs from the floor structure of the first embodiment in the arrangement of ridgelines. The other ends of the two straight trough-like ridge lines 212 are respectively arranged on the short sides of the rectangle. As a result, a wide flat surface without the ridge line 12 can be obtained near the long side of the floor structure 1 on the side where the drainage section 211 is not arranged.

Therefore, for example, when the entrance door is placed on the long side, the valley part of the floor structure 1 formed by the ridge line 12 is far from the entrance, and the stable flat part is widely located near the entrance, so that the user cannot enter the room. You can feel safe when doing so. In addition, the other end of the valley-shaped ridge line 12 does not come directly below the entrance door, and the floor height under the entrance door can be kept constant, so the level difference for preventing water leakage can be reduced.

Placing a flat surface without valleys formed by the ridgeline 212 on the long side is more effective when installing a door with a large opening on the long side. Large-opening doors are installed on the long sides to make the opening wider, and large-opening entrances are often made primarily for barrier-free purposes. As mentioned above, by not arranging the trough of the ridge line 12 under the entrance door and making it flat, it is possible to lower the height difference of the entrance door, and furthermore, the floor structure 1 near the entrance has a wide stable flat area. The floor structure 1 of this embodiment also has high affinity for barrier-free construction.

As mentioned above, according to the floor structure of the bathroom washing area of this embodiment, the following effects are achieved.

(5) In this embodiment, in (1), the other end of the ridgeline 12 is located on the short side of the rectangle.

As a result, the flat floor can be widely disposed on the long side, and when the entrance is disposed on the long side, the user feels safe when entering the room, and comfort is improved. When widening the opening of the entrance door, safety near the floor entrance can be further improved, and it is also highly compatible with barrier-free design.

The embodiments according to the present invention have been described above. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the present invention also includes improvements and changes thereof.

As a modification of the floor structure of the present invention, for example, among the two ridgelines, the end of one ridgeline may be on the short side, and the end of the other ridgeline may be on the long side. The end of one of the two ridgelines may be at the apex, and the end of the other ridgeline may be at a position other than the apex.
