BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(1) Field of the Invention
[0001] An aspect of the present invention generally relates to a toilet device.
(2) Description of Related Art
[0002] For example, there has been known a flush toilet device in which an undershower is
disposed on a rear portion of a toilet body (
EP 1 317 586 B1). The flush toilet device described in
EP 1 317 586 B1 is mountable on a wall surface. Connection points where a water supply pipe and a
power supply cord are connected to the undershower are arranged on a back surface
side of the flush toilet device. Accordingly, the connection points where the water
supply pipe and the electricity supply pipe are connected to the undershower are not
visible from the outside when the connection points are arranged behind the wall,
for example. Accordingly, the flush toilet device described in
EP 1 317 586 B1 has excellent design.
[0003] However, in the flush toilet device described in
EP 1 317 586 B1, the connection points where the water supply pipe and the power supply cord are
connected to the undershower are arranged on a back surface side of the flush toilet
device and hence, there exist the following drawbacks. That is, for example, when
a user wants to disassemble the connection point where the power supply cord is connected
to the undershower for energy saving, the operability of the operation is poor. Also,
for example, when a user wants to disassemble the connection point where the power
supply cord is connected to the undershower for maintenance of the undershower or
the like, the operability of the operation is also poor.

In Fig. 1B, a part of a wall is omitted for the sake of facilitating the description.
[0022] A toilet device 10 according to this embodiment includes a western-type seat toilet
bowl (hereinafter simply referred to as "toilet bowl" for facilitating the description)
110, and a sanitary cleaning device 120 disposed on an upper surface 111 of the toilet
bowl 110 (see Figs. 2C and 3B). The sanitary cleaning device 120 includes a casing
121, a toilet seat 123, and a toilet lid 125. The toilet seat 123 and the toilet lid
125 are pivotally supported to the casing 121 in an openable and closable manner.
Note that, it is not always necessary to provide the toilet lid 125.
[0023] The toilet bowl 110 is fixed to a support body 140 disposed in an inside of a wall
310 (a back portion of the wall 310 as viewed from a toilet bowl 110 side). The wall
310 is mounted in a toilet room or the like, for example, where the toilet device
10 is installed. This structure is described in detail later.
[0024] The wall 310 is mounted on a back surface side (rear side) of the toilet device 10,
and is formed using a material including tiles or mortars, for example. However, the
material of the wall 310 is not limited to such materials.
[0025] Herein, an upper side as viewed from a user seated on the toilet seat 123 in normal
use is assumed as "upper side", and a lower side as viewed from the user seated on
the toilet seat 123 in normal use is assumed as "lower side". A front side as viewed
from the user seated on the toilet seat 123 in normal use is assumed as "front side",
and a rear side as viewed from the user seated on the toilet seat 123 in normal use
is assumed as "rear side". Alternatively, a near side as viewed from the user standing
in front of the toilet bowl 110 while facing in the direction of the toilet bowl 110
is assumed as "front side", and a far side as viewed from the user standing in front
of the toilet bowl 110 while facing in the direction of the toilet bowl 110 is assumed
as "rear side". A right side as viewed from the user standing in front of the toilet
bowl 110 while facing in the direction of the toilet bowl 110 is assumed as "right
side", and a left side as viewed from the user standing in front of the toilet bowl
110 while facing the direction of the toilet bowl 110 is assumed as "left side".
[0026] The toilet device 10 according to this embodiment includes a panel 130. The panel
130 is detachably disposed on a rear side of the sanitary cleaning device 120, and
is fixed to a floor 320 or the like, for example. Alternatively, the panel 130 may
be fixed to a support body 140, a structural body 330, or the like disposed in the
inside of the wall 310, for example. Alternatively, when the wall 310 has a relatively
high strength, the panel 130 may be fixed to the wall 310, for example. The panel
130 can be removed by releasing a lock at a fixing portion (not shown).
[0027] Figs. 2A to 2C are schematic views showing the toilet device according to this embodiment.
[0028] Figs. 3A and 3B are schematic perspective views showing the panel 130 and an area
in the vicinity of the panel 130 of this embodiment.
[0029] Figs. 2A to 2C show the toilet device 10 in a state where the panel 130 is removed
for facilitating the description.
[0030] Fig. 2A is a schematic plan view where the toilet device 10 according to this embodiment
is viewed from a front side. Fig. 2B is an enlarged schematic view showing a region
A1 in Fig. 2A. Fig. 2C is a schematic perspective view where the inside of the wall
310 is viewed through an opening of the panel 130 according to this embodiment.
[0031] Fig. 3A is a schematic perspective view where the panel 130 and the area in the vicinity
of the panel 130 of this embodiment are viewed from a right side to a left side. Fig.
3B is a schematic perspective view showing a back surface portion of the casing 121
of this embodiment.
[0032] Figs. 2C and 3B show a state where the sanitary cleaning device 120 is moved to a
front side for facilitating the description.
[0033] The wall 310 has an opening 311. The opening 311 is formed in the wall 310 in a penetrating
manner. Accordingly, for example, by removing the panel 130, the user or the like
can visually recognize the inside of the wall 310 through the opening 311.
[0034] In the inside of the casing 121 of the sanitary cleaning device 120, a body cleaning
functional part which performs cleaning of "buttocks" or the like of the user seated
on the toilet seat 123 and the like are incorporated. Also, a sitting detection sensor
(not shown) which detects sitting of the user on the toilet seat 123 is provided on
the casing 121, for example. In a state where the sitting detection sensor detects
the user sitting on the toilet seat 123, when the user operates an operation part
such as a remote controller, for example, it is possible to extend a cleaning nozzle
(not shown) to the inside of a bowl body of the toilet bowl 110.
[0035] A water injecting portion (not shown) is disposed on a distal end of the cleaning
nozzle. The cleaning nozzle ejects water from the water ejection portion disposed
on the distal end of the cleaning nozzle, thus cleaning the "buttocks" or the like
of the user sitting on the toilet seat 123. Herein, "water" means not only cold water
but also hot water produced by heating.
[0036] As shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, the sanitary cleaning device 120 includes a water supply
pipe 151 and a power supply cord 161. The water supply pipe 151 guides water supplied
from a water supply source such as a water service to the sanitary cleaning device
120, for example. The power supply cord 161 guides electricity supplied from a power
source such as a commercially available power source to the sanitary cleaning device
120, for example.
[0037] As shown in Fig. 3B, a portion of the water supply pipe 151 passes through a back
surface portion 129 of the casing 121 and is arranged in the inside of the casing
121. As shown in Fig. 3A, another portion of the water supply pipe 151 passes through
a notch 131 formed in the panel 130 and is arranged in the inside of the wall 310.
A portion of the power supply cord 161 passes through the back surface portion 129
of the casing 121 and is arranged in the inside of the casing 121. Another portion
of the power supply cord 161 passes through the notch 131 formed in the panel 130
and is arranged in the inside of the wall 310. As shown in Fig. 3A, a surface of the
panel 130 is substantially flush with a surface of the wall 310.
[0038] As shown in Fig. 2A to 2C, the sanitary cleaning device 120 includes a stop cock
153 and an outlet plug 163. The stop cock 153 is disposed on one end of the water
supply pipe 151. The stop cock 153 is manually opened or closed, and for example,
can shut off, as necessary, a water passage at the time of mounting or removing the
sanitary cleaning device 120 or at the time of performing maintenance or inspection
of the sanitary cleaning device 120. For example, the stop cock 153 is fixed to the
structural body 330 by means of a first mounting member 353. However, an arrangement
mode of the stop cock 153 is not limited thereto. The outlet plug 163 is disposed
on one end of the power supply cord 161. The outlet plug 163 is connected to an outlet
351. For example, the outlet 351 is fixed to the structural body 330 by means of a
second mounting member 355. However, an arrangement mode of the outlet 351 is not
limited thereto. The outlet 351 has a function of a power supply part.
[0039] In such a toilet device, if the outlet 351 is disposed in the inside of a projection
area formed by projecting the toilet bowl 110 and the sanitary cleaning device 120
on the wall 310, for example, there may be a case where operability of the operation
is poor when the user pulls out the outlet plug 163 of the sanitary cleaning device
120 from the outlet 351 for energy saving. There may be also a case where the operability
of the operation is poor, for example, when the operator pulls out the outlet plug
163 from the outlet 351 or operates the stop cock 153 for performing the maintenance
of the sanitary cleaning device 120.
[0040] To the contrary, as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, in the toilet device 10 according to
this embodiment, the outlet 351 is disposed outside the projection area formed by
projecting the toilet bowl 110 and the sanitary cleaning device 120 on the wall 310.
Accordingly, the outlet plug 163 inserted into the outlet 351 is disposed outside
the projection area formed by projecting the toilet bowl 110 and the sanitary cleaning
device 120 on the wall 310.
[0041] According to this embodiment, for example, when a user or the like wants to stop
the supply of power to the sanitary cleaning device 120 or, for example, when an operator
performs a maintenance operation, it is possible to suppress occurrence of a situation
where the toilet bowl 110 and the sanitary cleaning device 120 obstruct the operation.
Accordingly, the user, the operator or the like can perform the operation smoothly.
That is, the toilet device 10 according to this embodiment can realize higher operability.
Further, the water supply pipe 151 and the power supply cord 161 are hardly visible
from the outside and hence, it is possible to provide the toilet device 10 having
more excellent design.
[0042] As shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, the outlet 351 is disposed above the projection area
formed by projecting the toilet bowl 110 and the sanitary cleaning device 120 on the
wall 310. Accordingly, the outlet plug 163 inserted into the outlet 351 is disposed
above the projection area formed by projecting the toilet bowl 110 and the sanitary
cleaning device 120 on the wall 310.
[0043] Accordingly, the user or the like can perform an operation in a standing posture.
Further, it is unlikely that an article is placed in front of the panel 130 and hence,
the user or the like can perform the operation smoothly.
[0044] As shown in Fig. 2B, the outlet 351 is disposed above the stop cock 153. More specifically,
the center of the outlet 351 is positioned above the center of the stop cock 153.
Accordingly, the outlet plug 163 is disposed above the stop cock 153. More specifically,
the center of the outlet plug 163 is positioned above the center of the stop cock
153.
[0045] Accordingly, for example, even when a water leakage occurs due to a defect of the
stop cock 153 or the like, it is unlikely that leaked water splashes on the outlet
plug 163. Accordingly, short-circuiting of an electric system can be suppressed.
[0046] As shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, in the toilet device 10 according to this embodiment,
the stop cock 153 is disposed outside the projection area formed by projecting the
toilet bowl 110 and the sanitary cleaning device 120 on the wall 310.
[0047] Accordingly, when the operator stops the supply of water to the sanitary cleaning
device 120 at the time of performing a maintenance operation, for example, it is possible
to suppress the occurrence of a case where the toilet bowl 110 and the sanitary cleaning
device 120 obstruct the operation. Accordingly, the operator or the like can perform
the operation smoothly.
[0048] As shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, the stop cock 153 is disposed above the projection area
formed by projecting the toilet bowl 110 and the sanitary cleaning device 120 on the
wall 310. Accordingly, the user or the like can easily perform an operation in a standing
posture. Further, it is unlikely that an article is placed in front of the panel 130
and hence, the user or the like can perform the operation smoothly.
[0049] Figs. 4A and 4B are schematic views showing the inside of the wall according to this
embodiment.
[0050] Fig. 4A is a schematic perspective view showing the inside of the wall 310 of this
embodiment as viewed from a rear upper side. Fig. 4B is a schematic perspective view
showing the inside of the wall 310 of this embodiment as viewed from an oblique rear
upper side.
[0051] The toilet bowl 110 of this embodiment includes a water supply passage 113 and a
water discharge passage 115. The water supply passage 113 and the water discharge
passage 115 are formed in a rear portion (back surface portion) of the toilet bowl
110, respectively. In the inside of the wall 310 of this embodiment, a tank 171, a
water supply pipe 173, and a water discharge pipe 175 are disposed.
[0052] The tank 171 is fixed to the support body 140. The tank 171 stores water therein,
and supplies stored water to a bowl surface of the toilet bowl 110.
[0053] One end of the water supply pipe 173 is connected to the tank 171, and the other
end of the water supply pipe 173 is connected to the water supply passage 113 of the
toilet bowl 110. The water supply pipe 173 guides water supplied from the tank 171
to the water supply passage 113 of the toilet bowl 110.
[0054] The water supply passage 113 guides water supplied from the tank 171 to the bowl
surface of the toilet bowl 110 through the water supply pipe 173.
[0055] The water discharge passage 115 guides water discharged from the bowl surface of
the toilet bowl 110 to the water discharge pipe 175.
[0056] One end of the water discharge pipe 175 is connected to water discharge passage 115
of the toilet bowl 110, and the other end of the water discharge pipe 175 is connected
to a sewage pipe (not shown). The water discharge pipe 175 guides water discharged
from the bowl surface of the toilet bowl 110 to the sewage pipe through the water
discharge passage 115.
[0057] In the example shown in Figs. 4A and 4B, the stop cock 153 is fixed to the structural
body 330 by means of the first mounting member 353. The outlet 351 is fixed to the
structural body 330 by means of the second mounting member 355.
[0058] Figs. 5A to 5C are schematic views for describing the mounting structure of the toilet

[0059] Fig. 5A is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a cross section of a mounting
portion of the toilet bowl. Fig. 5B is an enlarged schematic view of a region A2 shown
in Fig. 5A. Fig. 5C is a schematic plan view showing the inside of the wall 310 according
to this embodiment when viewed from a side.
[0060] As described above with reference to Fig. 1, the toilet bowl 110 is fixed to the
support body 140 disposed in the inside of the wall 310. As shown in Figs. 5A and
5B, the support body 140 has a bolt 141. The bolt 141 penetrates the wall 310 and
extends toward the toilet bowl 110. A fixing jig 361 is disposed in the inside of
the toilet bowl 110. For example, the operator or the like inserts a tool 363 into
the inside of the toilet bowl 110 from below the toilet bowl 110, and fastens the
fixing jig 361 to the bolt 141. Accordingly, the toilet bowl 110 is fixed to the support
body 140. The mounting structure of the toilet bowl 110 described with reference to
Figs. 5A and 5B is one example, and the mounting structure is not limited thereto.
[0061] As shown in Fig. 5C, the toilet bowl 110 is fixed to the support body 140 and, thereafter,
the sanitary cleaning device 120 is disposed on the upper surface 111 of the toilet
bowl 110. Subsequently, the outlet plug 163 is inserted into the outlet 351. The stop
cock 153 is fixed to the structural body 330 or the like, for example. As shown in
Figs. 5A to 5C, the outlet plug 163 is disposed above the stop cock 153. The center
of the outlet plug 163 is positioned above the center of the stop cock 153.
[0062] Figs. 6A and 6B are schematic perspective views showing the panel and the area in
the vicinity of the panel according to this embodiment.
[0063] Fig. 7 is a schematic perspective view showing the notch formed in the panel according

[0067] As shown in Fig. 7, the notch 131 is formed in a left lower corner of the panel 130
when the toilet device 10 is viewed from a front side. However, the position where
the notch 131 is formed is not limited thereto.
[0068] As shown in Fig. 6B, the water supply pipe 151 and the power supply cord 161 are
hardly visible from the outside. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the toilet
device 10 having more excellent design.
[0069] Figs. 8A and 8B are schematic plan views illustrating a specific example of a support
body according this embodiment.
[0070] Fig. 8A is a schematic plan view showing the support body of the specific example
as viewed from a front side. Fig. 8B is a schematic plan view showing a state where
the support body of the specific example is disposed in the inside of the wall 310.
[0071] As shown in Fig. 8A, the support body 140 of this specific example can support the
tank 171. The support body 140 can support the stop cock 153 by means of the first
mounting member 353. The support body 140 can support the outlet 351 by means of the

[0072] As shown in Fig. 8B, the wall 310 has the opening 311, a bolt hole 313, a water supply
pipe hole 315, and a water discharge pipe hole 317. The bolt 141 mounted on the support
body 140 can be made to pass through the bolt hole 313. The water supply pipe 173
can be made to pass through the water supply pipe hole 315. That is, the water supply
pipe 173 is communicably connected to the tank 171 and the toilet bowl 110 through
the water supply pipe hole 315 formed in the wall 310. The water discharge pipe 175
can be made to pass through the water discharge pipe hole 317. That is, the water
discharge pipe 175 is communicably connected with the toilet bowl 110 and a sewage
pipe (not shown) through the water discharge pipe hole 317 formed in the wall 310.
[0073] The support body 140 of this specific example can fix the outlet 351. Accordingly,
it is unnecessary to provide a member which holds the outlet 351 in the inside of

the support body of the specific example is disposed in the inside of the wall 310.
[0078] As shown in Fig. 9, in another arrangement mode of the outlet plug 163, the outlet
351 is disposed on a side (a right side in Fig. 9) of the projection area formed by
projecting the toilet bowl 110 and the sanitary cleaning device 120 on the wall 310.
Accordingly, the outlet plug 163 inserted into the outlet 351 is disposed on a side
(a right side in Fig. 9) of the projection area formed by projecting the toilet bowl
110 and the sanitary cleaning device 120 on the wall 310.
[0079] As shown in Figs. 10A and 10B, the second mounting member 355 which supports the
outlet 351 is fixed to a portion of the support body 140 located on a side of the
opening 311. On the other hand, the first mounting member 353 which supports the stop
cock 153 is fixed to a portion of the support body 140 located on a side of the opening
311.
[0080] According to another arrangement mode of the outlet plug 163, even when a water leakage
occurs due to a defect of the water supply passage 113, the water discharge passage
115, or the water supply pipe 151, the outlet 351 is disposed on a side of the projection
area formed by projecting the toilet bowl 110 and the sanitary cleaning device 120
on the wall 310 and hence, a possibility that leaked water splashes on the outlet
plug 163 is decreased. Accordingly, short-circuiting of an electric system can be
suppressed.
[0081] Figs. 11A to 11C and Figs. 12A to 12C are schematic perspective views illustrating
one example of a method of operating the outlet plug and the stop cock according to
this embodiment.
[0082] As shown in Figs. 11A and 11B, when the user or the like pushes an upper right corner
of the panel 130, for example, an upper portion of the panel 130 moves toward a front
side. That is, for example, a component 312 referred to as a magnet latch or the like
is provided on an inner peripheral portion of the opening 311 formed in the wall 310.
As shown in Fig. 11C, the user or the like holds the upper portion of the panel 130,
and pulls out the panel 130 in the oblique upper direction. Accordingly, the panel
130 can be removed.
[0083] As shown in Fig. 12A, the user or the like inserts his hand into the inside of the
wall 310 through the opening 311, and closes the stop cock 153. In this manner, it
is possible to shut off the water passage. As shown in Fig. 12B, the user or the like
moves his hand in the inside of the wall 310 and grasps the outlet plug 163. Then,
as shown in Fig. 12C, the user or the like pulls out the outlet plug 163 from the
outlet 351. In this manner, it is possible to shut off the supply of power.
[0084] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described heretofore, the
present invention is not limited to the above description. Even when those skilled
in the art modify the above embodiment in design depending on necessity, provided
that the modified embodiment includes the technical feature of the present invention,
the modified embodiment is also embraced in the technical scope of the present invention.
For example, shapes, sizes, materials, arrangements, and the like of the respective
elements which the toilet bowl 110, the sanitary cleaning device 120, and the like
include, and arrangement modes and the like of the stop cock 153, the outlet plug
163, and the outlet 351 are not limited to the exemplified ones and can be changed
as desired.
[0085] Further, the respective elements which the above respective embodiments include may
be combined as long as the combination is technically possible, and such combinations
are also embraced in the technical scope of the present invention provided that the
combination includes the technical features of the present invention.
