Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement of a water supply device for a private parts washer using a low tank with a hand wash.

Generally, when a private parts washer is installed in an existing toilet bowl, the following special water supply work is required to supply water to the private part washer. In other words, remove the water stop valve or flush valve installed just in front of the low tank and replace it with a specially shaped water stop valve or flush valve that has an integrated branch spout, or connect the water supply pipe with In short, a branch spout is formed in the middle of the water supply pipe by uncoupling the water stop valve or flush valve just before the low tank, interposing a diversion joint between the two, and reconnecting them. The branch spout and the washer were communicated through a water pipe. However, the above construction not only requires special tools that are not found in ordinary households, but also requires special plumbing techniques to prevent water leakage from the joints, so it is best to ask a professional company to carry out the water supply work. There was a drawback that it had to be done.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, a water supply system as shown in FIG. 1 was devised using a low tank with a hand wash. That is, in a rotor tank with a hand wash, an auxiliary tank is suspended inside the tank body A via a hook fitting G, and the water supplied from the hand wash water discharge pipe B is guided into the auxiliary tank through the pipe N by a branch tap C. I was starting to feel depressed. In addition, water other than that supplied from the discharge pipe B and supplied to the pipe N is stored in the tank main body A from the washbasin bowl, separated from the water in the auxiliary tank A, and is stored in the toilet bowl (not shown). It had been used for cleaning. on the other hand,
The water stored in the auxiliary tank was led by a water supply pump to a hot water tank (not shown) for the private parts washer, and was used for private part cleansing.

Although such conventional examples are excellent in that water for private washing and water for hand washing (dirty water) are separated, they have the following drawbacks.

In a low tank with a hand wash, various functional parts such as a ball tap (float), a tie, an overflow pipe, and a water shutoff valve are built into the tank body, and each of them operates to control water supply and water shutoff. However, it is generally difficult to insert an auxiliary tank inside the tank body without interfering with their operation, and in particular, there are various shapes of tank bodies on the market, and the installation of the auxiliary tank is difficult for housewives to do. Considering the current state of the art, it has been extremely difficult to fit the auxiliary tank inside the tank body without interfering with the water supply and water stop functions as described above.

Since the auxiliary tank is housed inside the tank body, the capacity of the auxiliary tank becomes smaller, and if you take additional points into consideration, the capacity of the auxiliary tank becomes even smaller. The capacity of the device becomes small, making it impossible to wash the local area adequately. It had the disadvantage that it could not be used continuously.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and provides a water supply device for a private parts washer that can be installed easily and reliably even by a housewife at home, and that can obtain a large capacity of private part cleansing water. The purpose is to

The present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings shown as examples.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a low tank with a hand basin, and an outer shell is formed by placing a hand basin ball 3 on top of a tank main body 2 with an open top. These are usually made of ceramic, and the washbasin bowl 3 in particular is quite heavy. Further, 5 is a hand washing water discharge pipe provided so that its discharge port is located above the bowl 3,
Water discharged from this pipe 5 is received by a ball 3. Next, the operation of the low tank 1 will be briefly explained. Water led into the tank body 2 from the water pipe 15 is divided by the hand washing discharge pipe 5 and the tank internal discharge pipe 16. Drain lever 1
By rotating the handle 9, the hook 20 is lifted, and the water stop valve 21, which is attached to the drain hole 22 at the bottom of the tank body 2, is opened, and the water inside the tank body 2 is discharged to the outside of the low tank 1 as waste water. It is discharged. When the ball tap 18 descends to a predetermined position, water supply is started from the tank discharge pipe 16, and water supply is stopped at the predetermined position of the ball tap 18. On the other hand, hand-washing water from the hand-washing water discharge pipe 5 is also stored in the tank body 2 through the hole 4 provided in the ball 3. 23 is an overflow pipe.

The auxiliary tank 8 is made of plastic, for example, and has a downward substantially L-shaped advection pipe 9 integrally formed on its side wall. Further, 10 is a lid of the auxiliary tank 8, which is detachable, so that the inside of the auxiliary tank 8 can be easily cleaned, for example. 11 is a water supply pump provided in this auxiliary tank 8; 12
is a filter. The auxiliary tank 8 is attached to the side wall of the low tank 1 in the following manner. That is, the horizontal portion of the advection pipe 9 is interposed between the tank body 2 and the ball 3, and the advection pipe 9 is held by the weight of the ball 3. At this time, the ceramic ball 3
Due to its own weight and the action of the vertical portion of the advection pipe 9, the auxiliary tank 8 can be properly attached to the low tank 1 without falling off. By opening the tip of the advection pipe 9 into the low tank 1 in this way, even if the low tank 1 has a water stop failure (due to clogging with debris, etc.) and the water supply is not stopped, the water overflowing from the auxiliary tank 8 will be Since the water is returned to the low tank 1 through the advection pipe 9, it does not flow into the toilet room. Further, in the low tank 1, overflow water is drained out of the system by an overflow pipe 23. One of the features of the present invention is that the advection pipe 9 provided in the auxiliary tank 8 installed outside the low tank 1 is not only a mounting member for the auxiliary tank 8 but also an overflow member from the auxiliary tank 8. ing.

In addition, when the auxiliary tank 8 is attached, a gap is created between the tank body 2 and the ball 3 by the thickness of the horizontal portion of the advection tube 9. It is preferable to fill this gap by surrounding the ball 3, since the ball 3 will not tilt.

On the other hand, a branch stopper 6 as shown in FIG. 4 is provided at the tip of the hand wash water discharge pipe 5, and a hand wash water spout 6a and a water supply water spout 6b are provided. One end of the water supply pipe A7 is connected to this water supply water spouting part 6b, and the other end of the water supply pipe A7 is connected to the auxiliary tank 8. Therefore, by rotating the drain lever 19 as described above, water is actually supplied from three locations. That is, water supply C from the in-tank discharge pipe 16, water supply D from the hand washing discharge part 6a, and water supply E from the water supply discharge part 6b. As for the relationship between the three, it is preferable that the diameter of each pipe is taken into consideration so that the inside of the auxiliary tank 8 becomes full of water earlier than the inside of the low tank 1 becomes full of water. In other words, it is preferable that each water supply operation is stopped after sufficient water is stored in the auxiliary tank 8 (to the extent that the water in the auxiliary tank 8 overflows through the advection pipe 9).

The water thus stored in the auxiliary tank 8 is introduced into the hot water tank 24 through the water supply pipe B13, which has one end connected to the water supply pump 11 and the other end connected to the hot water tank 24 for the private parts washer. 14 is a pump power cord. Then, the water heated in the hot water tank 24 is jetted out from the nozzle 26 by rotating the operating lever 25 and is used for cleaning the private parts. 27 is a toilet lid, and 28 is a toilet seat.

As described above, in the present invention, by sandwiching the advection pipe between the tank body of the low tank and the toilet bowl, the auxiliary tank can be moved to the outside (side wall) of the low tank.
Since it can be installed on

Even a housewife can install the auxiliary tank very easily without special tools, and water does not overflow from the auxiliary tank.

No matter what shape the low tank is,
Furthermore, no matter how the auxiliary tank is attached, the water supply and water shutoff operations of the low tank will not be hindered.

The capacity of the auxiliary tank can be increased,
As a result, a large amount of hot water for the private parts washing machine can be obtained, and the private parts washing machine can be used continuously.

There is no need to use a special hook for the auxiliary tank as in the conventional example.

The auxiliary tank can be cleaned more easily than when the auxiliary tank is provided inside the low tank.
