Abstract

A wash-out type toilet according to an embodiment includes a bowl that receives waste and a drainage water trap. The drainage water trap includes an inlet that is connected to a lower part of the bowl, a rise pipeline that is connected to the inlet and extends upward toward its own top part, a fall pipeline that extends downward toward an inlet of a drainage water pipe that is arranged on a floor surface, and an intermediate pipeline with an upstream-side portion that is connected to the rise pipeline and a downstream-side portion that is connected to the fall pipeline. Furthermore, the intermediate pipeline includes a retention surface that is formed to slope downward from an upstream side to a downstream side and temporarily retains waste at a time of toilet washing.

Claims (15)

1. A wash-out type toilet, comprising:

a bowl that receives waste; and

a drainage water trap that includes:

an inlet that is connected to a lower part of the bowl;

a rise pipeline that is connected to the inlet that is connected to the lower part of the bowl, wherein the rise pipeline extends upward toward a top part of the rise pipeline;

a fall pipeline that extends downward toward an inlet of a drainage water pipe, wherein the drainage water pipe is arranged on a floor surface; and

an intermediate pipeline with an upstream-side portion that is connected to the rise pipeline and a downstream-side portion that is connected to the fall pipeline,

wherein the intermediate pipeline includes a retention surface that is formed to slope downward from an upstream side to a downstream side and temporarily retains waste at a time of toilet washing, wherein the rise pipeline is formed in such a manner that side surfaces of the top part and side surfaces of the inlet that is connected to the lower part of the bowl are flat and a radius of curvature of a bottom surface of the top part is greater than a radius of curvature of a bottom surface of the inlet.

2. The wash-out type toilet according to claim 1 , wherein the retention surface includes a contraction flow part that is formed in such a manner that a flow passage area of drainage water is reduced from the upstream side to the downstream side.

3. The wash-out type toilet according to claim 2 , wherein the contraction flow part is formed at a center position of the retention surface in a width direction thereof.

4. The wash-out type toilet according to claim 1 , wherein

the retention surface includes:

a first sloping surface that slopes at a first slope angle with respect to a horizontal plane; and

a second sloping surface that is connected to a downstream side of the first sloping surface and slopes at a second slope angle smaller than the first slope angle.

5. The wash-out type toilet according to claim 4 , wherein the second sloping surface is formed in such a manner that a length of the second sloping surface in a flow direction of drainage water is greater than a length of the first sloping surface in the flow direction.
