DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vanity cabinet with a toilet bowl that can be stored in the sink, and more specifically, a vanity cabinet with a mirror, shelf, etc. on the rear end of the top surface of the vanity cabinet with a washbasin formed on the top surface. The purpose of this device is to allow a series of operations such as washing, toileting, and toileting to be performed in the same place in the same unit. In addition to making the toilet more convenient to use, it also makes it easier to use the toilet by linking the opening/closing operation of the door on the front of the washbasin with the loading and unloading of the toilet bowl and the toilet flushing operation, or by linking the toilet loading/unloading operation with the toilet bowl flushing operation. The idea is to make it even more convenient.

As explained below with reference to the attached drawings, the washstand A of the present invention has a washbasin formed on its upper surface, and a washstand cabinet A (is erected at its rear end), and the underframe of the washstand A is attached to the base frame of the washstand A. A toilet bowl 2 is pivotally mounted in the interior of the toilet bowl 2 so that it can be pulled out or pushed in and stored, and the opening/closing mechanism of a door 3 provided on the front side of the underframe 1 is operably linked to a toilet loading/unloading mechanism B or a toilet cleaning mechanism E or both. To further explain each part in detail, the washstand A has a washbasin on the top surface of the frame 1, and double doors 3, 3' are installed in the front so that they can be opened and closed. The interior is divided into a front chamber 5 and a rear chamber 6 by a partition wall 4. Inside the front chamber 5, a toilet bowl 2 can be pulled forward for use via a toilet in/out mechanism B to be described later, and can be pushed in and stored in an upright position. The bottom plate 7 is equipped with a discharge pipe (outside the underframe).
A drain trap 8 that reaches a drain (not shown) is installed so as to pass through the toilet bowl 2, so that defecation and flushing water in the toilet bowl can be discharged.

On both sides of the bottom plate 7, a connecting mechanism C is provided to link the opening/closing operation of the doors 3, 3' with the cleaning mechanism B and the toilet loading/unloading mechanism B.
A nozzle 9 for flushing the toilet bowl is installed on the front surface of the partition wall 4 so as to protrude forward, and a recess 10 is formed in the partition wall itself so that spare toilet paper can be stored. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the toilet bowl 2 and its entrance/exit mechanism B are constructed by removably installing a toilet seat 11 that also serves as a reserve water tank at the entrance of the toilet bowl 2, and supporting panels 12 attached to both sides of the toilet bowl 2. is pivotally connected to a bush 13 erected on the bottom plate 7 by a hinge 14, and is rotatable around the pivot 14, and an operating punch 15 is fixed in a non-rotatable manner below the push 13 by a pivot 14a. The operating village 15 and the supporting village 12 adjacent thereto are integrally connected by a connecting piece 16, and the toilet bowl 2 is rotated about the pivot 14 by rotating the operating pestle 15 about the pivot 14a. It is used by pulling it out of the frame or pushing it in for storage.

Further, support legs 17 are pivotally attached to appropriate positions on both sides of the toilet bowl 2.
An operating member 18 is pivotally connected between the lower side of 7 and the underframe bottom plate 7, and the toilet 2 is installed.
When the toilet bowl 2 is pulled out or pushed in, the supporting legs 17 are raised up to support the toilet bowl 2 as shown in FIG. That's what I do. A shock absorber 19 such as a damper or an air cylinder provided on the bottom plate is connected to the toilet bowl 2 or the support punch 12 so as to reduce the impact when the toilet bowl 2 is pulled out or stored. Next, the double coupling mechanism C installed on the inner garden slope 7 of the underframe
, D. First, the connecting mechanism C connects the doors 3, 3'.
The cleaning mechanism B, which will be described later, is activated when the door 3 on either side (the left side in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1) is closed, and as shown in FIGS. The cleaning wire 20 is passed through the partition wall 4 and the bracket 4' and protrudes into the front chamber 5 in the underframe, and the protruding end 20' and the bracket 21 provided inside the door 3 are connected to the rod 22 having the actuator 23, Cleaning wire 20 operated by child 23
It is constructed by connecting a lever 24, a link 25, etc. for operating the cleaning mechanism by pulling the lever.

That is, the rod 22 is attached to the bushes 26 and 27 provided on the bottom plate 7.
The front end of the rod 2 is connected to the bracket 21 inside the door 3 via the pivot 28 link 25 and the pivot 29, so that the rod 22 can be slid back and forth in the front and rear directions by opening and closing the door 3. The lever 24 is pivoted to a predetermined position within the underframe.
01. Accordingly, a handle 31 which is rotatably installed and is to be connected to the actuator 23 fixed to the rod 22 at its lower end is pivoted by a shaft 32, and the cleaning wire 20 is inserted into the hole 33 at its upper end. The protruding end is removably secured. Thus, the lever 31 of the lever 24 can be rotated only forward about the shaft 32 (the pivot 32 is set eccentrically and a relief 34 is formed). According to the above configuration,
When the door 3 in the open state is rotated in the closing direction as shown by the dotted line in FIG. By rotating the lever 24 about the pivot 30 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. However, if the door 3 is rotated in the closing direction, there is a danger that the cleaning water will flow out from the nozzle 9 at any time, so in the present invention, a stop lever 35 as shown in FIGS. Toilet bowl 2
The lever 24 can be rotated in the cleaning wire-pulling direction only when the storage is completed. That is, the stop lever 35 is pivotally connected to a bush 36 erected on the underframe bottom plate 7 by a pivot 37, and the branch punch 3 of the stop lever
5a is always positioned on the rotational trajectory of the stopper 38 attached to the support punch 12, and the stopper 39 attached to the lever 24 is placed on the tip of the other branched punch 35b. In addition, a tension spring 40 is installed between the branch village 35a and the bush 36, and the other branch village 35d is stopped by a spring washer 41 provided on the bush 36 (always energized). Therefore, when the toilet bowl 2 is in the retracted state, the support pestle 12 is in the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the stop lever 35 is held in the state shown by the solid line in the figure, and the stop pestle 35c is Since it is out of the rotational orbit of the stopper 39 of 24, the lever 24
On the other hand, when the toilet bowl 2 is in the drawing state, the support punch 12 is in the state shown by the - dotted line in the figure, and the stop lever 35 is moved by the tension spring 4. The stop punch 35c of the branch punch 35b is pulled into the state shown by the dashed line, and the stop punch 35c of the branch punch 35b hits the stopper 3 of the lever 24.
9 to prevent the lever 24 from rotating, that is, from pulling the cleaning wire 20. Therefore, when the drawer of the toilet bowl 2 is used, even if the door 3 is rotated in the closing direction, the flushing water will never flow out. After rotation of the clouding lever 24, the rotational return to the original position is achieved by pulling the wire 20 in the restoration direction by the wire 20 connected to the lever or by a return spring 58' provided in the cleaning mechanism E to be described later. It is designed to be done by. The connecting mechanism D is a mechanism for transmitting the opening operation of the door 3' to the toilet bowl loading/unloading mechanism B to enable the toilet bowl 2 to be pulled out at the same time as the door is opened.As shown in FIGS.
4, which connects the bracket 42 fixed to the inside of the bracket 42 and the operating knob 15 of the toilet inlet/out mechanism B.
3, a lever 44, a rod 45, a rotating shaft 46, an operating lever 47, and the like.

That is, a lever 44 is fixed to the underframe bottom plate 7 so as to be horizontally rotatable by means of a pivot 48, and a lever 43 to be engaged with the roller 60 of the bracket 42 is attached to the tip of the lever 44 so as to be rotatable only in the rearward direction by means of a pivot 49. I'm wearing it. A rotary shaft 46 is rotatably installed on the bottom plate 7 near the operating punch 15, and the lever 44 is connected to the shaft 46 via a lever 47 to be engaged with the base of the operating punch 15 and the rod 45. A lever 51 connected to the lever 51 is fixed in a non-rotatable manner. Therefore, when the door 3' is opened, the lever 44 is rotated horizontally about the pivot 48, and the rotating shaft 46 and the lever 47 are rotated via the rod 45 lever 51, and the roller 47 at the tip of the lever 47 is rotated.
', the operating panel 15 is pressed and the toilet can be pulled out. According to the above-mentioned double-coupling mechanisms C and D, the toilet can be pulled out by opening the door 3', and the toilet can be flushed by closing the door 3; however, when the door has a single-release structure, the double-coupling mechanism If D is installed on one side of the underframe 1 at a predetermined interval above and below, it is convenient that the toilet can be pulled out and flushed by opening and closing the door.

Further, it is also possible to replace the operating main parts or a part of the above-mentioned coupling mechanisms C and D with electric operating mechanisms. The above configuration is door 3
In this embodiment, the opening/closing of 3' is operatively connected to the toilet cleaning mechanism E or the toilet inlet/out mechanism B, but in the present invention, it is also possible to connect the toilet inlet/exit mechanism B and the toilet cleaning mechanism E in an operative manner. be. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, from the pivot position of the support pestle 12 attached to both sides of the toilet bowl 2 by the pivot 14, the lever 76 with the return spring 75 attached to the downward protrusion 12' is moved forward by the shaft 77. The rod 79 is pivotally attached so that it can only be rotated, and a rod 79 is installed between the brackets 78 and 78 so as to be slidable in the front and rear direction, and an actuator 80 is fixed at a predetermined position of the rod. The cleaning wire 20 of the cleaning mechanism E, which is provided through the rod stopper 81, is connected to the rear end (left end in the figure), and the cleaning wire 20 is normally closed by a return spring 58' attached to the wire. The rod 79 is stretched through the rod 79 so as to rest against the rod stopper 81 as shown by the dashed line in the figure. Therefore, when the toilet bowl 2 is pulled out (with the support punch 12 indicated by the dashed line in the figure) and the toilet bowl 2 is pushed in and moved in the storage direction, the support punch 12 76 rotates around the pivot 14 in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Then, the claw 76 and the actuator 80 engage, and the rod 7
9 forward, thereby cleaning the cleaning wire-2.
0 is pulled forward to operate the cleaning mechanism E. Of course, when the cleaning mechanism E is in operation, the toilet bowl 2 is in a completely retracted state, and consideration is given to prevent water from leaking. When the actuator 80, which is moved forward by the above-described operation, reaches a predetermined position, it is released from the engagement with the catch 76, and at the same time, the wire is restored by the restoring elasticity of the return spring 58' of the cleaning mechanism E. 20 and slides backward together with the rod 79 to return to the state shown by the dashed line. That is, the actuator 8
The toilet bowl is flushed once by one reciprocating movement of the O rod 79 in the front and back direction. As shown in FIG. 7, the cleaning mechanism E includes a crab water tank 52 in a washbasin cabinet A', and a ball tap 54 connected to a water supply pipe 53, a float valve 55, and other ordinary equipment in the tank. The float valve 55 is connected to the cleaning wire 20 via a string 56 bar 57 shaft 58, and the shaft 5
A return spring 58' is attached to the connecting portion between the wire 8 and the wire 20.

The overflow pipe 53' is either connected to the drain trap 8 or directly protrudes outside the vessel.

Further, the float valve 55 and the cleaning nozzle 9 are connected by a cleaning pipe 59 with a valve 60. Incidentally, instead of the tank 52, a flush valve may be provided in the water supply pipe 53, and the flush valve and the connection mechanism C may be linked together by appropriate means. Next, the vanity cabinet A' is provided with a removable rear plate on the rear side and is hollow inside, and the tank 52 is installed above it, and the hollow interior stores the water supply pipe, cleaning pipe, etc. connected to the cleaning mechanism. Mirrors 61, 61' are provided at a predetermined distance from the lower end on the front, and a lighting lamp 62 is installed at the upper end, and one side of the mirror 61' is connected to the cabinet via a hinge (not shown). It is movably mounted, and a shelf 63 is formed on the back side of the mirror 61'.

A switch 64 and an outlet 65 are provided below the mirror 61,
In addition, a recess 66 is formed to form a space for convenient operation of the faucet 67 and hot water tap 68 provided at the rear of the washbasin, and also to store small items used when making toiletries in the recess 66. I have to. As shown in FIG. 2, an opening 66' is formed on the upper surface of the recess 66 so that the valve 60 of the cleaning pipe 59 can be operated by inserting a hand through the closed opening. In Figure 1, 69 is the main valve attached to the water supply pipe, and 701 is the toilet flushing valve.
and a water supply pipe are connected by a flexible connecting pipe 71, and a valve 70 is operated to allow an appropriate amount of water to directly flow into the toilet bowl 2, so that the toilet bowl can be washed and cleaned.

Reference numeral 72 indicates a paper holding portion, which is provided on the inner surface of the door 3 or 3'.

The upper part of the operation panel 15 is bent so that it can be used as an armrest when using the toilet. Further, a wash basin drain pipe (not shown) connected to the wash basin communicates with the underframe either independently or integrally with the toilet wash water drain pipe.

In addition, the return springs 7 are attached to the springs 31 and 43 in FIGS. 3 and 5.
3,74 are connected. The washbasin sunshade stand of the present invention as described above is installed in the washstand frame with the washstand cabinet A' so that the toilet can be pulled out, used, and stored, eliminating the need for a secondary toilet installation space and making the most of indoor space. Not only can it be used for a variety of purposes, but also a series of operations such as washing, washing, and toileting can be performed in the same place by using one bathroom vanity, making it extremely convenient to use.

In addition, the door opening/closing operation, toilet bowl cleaning, and toilet drawer operation are linked via the connecting mechanisms C and D provided in the underframe, so that when one door 3' is opened, the toilet bowl 2 is pulled out at the same time, allowing the user to use the toilet. After the rear toilet bowl is pushed into a predetermined layer in the underframe 1 and stored, if the other door 3 is rotated in the closing direction, the cleaning mechanism E is simultaneously connected via the connection mechanism C to clean the toilet bowl 2. It is extremely convenient to operate, and the connection mechanism C
Since the stop lever 35 is attached to the stopper 38 attached to the toilet support village 12, the stop lever 35 prevents the connection mechanism from operating when the toilet drawer is used, and the door is accidentally opened while the toilet is in use. Even if it is turned in the closing direction, there is no risk of washing water flowing out, and it exhibits a perfect safety function. In addition, both the coupling mechanisms C and D of the present invention are completely mechanical without using any electric equipment, so they operate reliably and there is no risk of failure. Also, washroom iQ
If the platform has a one-release door structure and the connecting mechanism C and the stop lever 35 are positioned above the connecting mechanism D, the toilet bowl 2 can be pulled out at the same time as the door is opened, and the toilet bowl 2 can be pulled out after the toilet bowl 2 is stored. If the door is closed, the toilet bowl can be flushed at the same time, making the operation much simpler than the above-mentioned two-door structure. Further, the same effect can be obtained by using a mechanism in which the toilet bowl loading/unloading mechanism B and the cleaning mechanism E are connected as shown in FIG. Furthermore, in addition to the functions and effects of the mechanical parts as described above, in the invention, the mirror provided on the front side of the vanity cabinet A' can be opened and closed, and the mirror can also be used as the door of the shelf 63 provided on the back side. The appearance is cleaner compared to a vanity cabinet in which the items stored in the shelves are always visible from the outside, and a recess 66 is formed at the rear of the faucet 67 on the front of the cabinet. This makes it easy to operate the faucet 67 and the hot water faucet 68, and the valve 60 of the cleaning pipe 59 can be operated by inserting your hand through the entrance 66' provided on the top surface of the recess 66. When it is necessary to open and close the cabinet 59, there is no need to remove the rear panel of the cabinet one by one, and since the opening 66' is not visible from the outside, there is no need to worry about spoiling the appearance. Furthermore, the main water supply valve 69 and the toilet flushing valve 70 are installed on the front side of the bulkhead 4 of the underframe 1 so that they are not visible from the outside when the toilet is inconvenient, so there is no need to worry about damaging the appearance. By connecting the water supply pipe and the toilet bowl through the connecting pipe 71, water is supplied by operating the valve, and cleaning inside the toilet bowl can be easily performed.Water for cleaning can be prepared separately in a container such as a bucket for cleaning. It is extremely convenient and does not require any trouble.

In addition, the parts that generate the sound of running water, such as the retaining water tank 52, the cleaning pipe 59, and the cleaning nozzle 9, are completely housed and covered within the cabinet A' or the underframe 1, so the sound of running water is almost completely muted. The toilet seat 11 also serves as a reserve water tank.

That is, since a part of the washing water that flows out from the washing nozzle 9 when washing the toilet bowl can be stored in the water storage part in the toilet seat 11, the toilet bowl 2 is removed from the underframe 1 before using the toilet bowl. At the same time as the toilet seat 11 is pulled out, the accumulated water in the toilet seat 11 flows out into the toilet bowl 2 and accumulates at the inner bottom of the toilet bowl as reserve water. Therefore, since the inside of the toilet bowl is leaked immediately before use and the toilet bowl is defecated immediately, it is not only possible to prevent the solid content (ambassadors) of scales and ponds from adhering to the inside of the toilet bowl, but also to reduce the amount of water required to wash the 8E garbage. It is also highly effective as a water-saving toilet. Furthermore, a recess 10 is formed in the partition wall 4 in the underframe 1 to enable storage of spare toilet paper, and an operating pestle 15 for putting in and taking out the toilet bowl.
It has great effects such as being able to use the bent end portion of the armrest as an armrest.
