A flush toilet includes a toilet main body made of ceramics, a control unit, a supply source that enables water supply or power supply to the control unit, and a flexible elongated member connecting the supply source and the control unit. The toilet main body includes a rear storage configured to store at least a part of the control unit. The rear storage includes an upper storage region, a lower region, and a lower communication region. The flexible elongated member extends from an upper connecting end portion toward a lower connecting end portion, to be inserted from the upper storage region into the lower communication region, and then extends from inside of the lower communication region to outside of the toilet main body, without extending through the lower region.

Flush toilet

A stator core comprises a stack and a resin portion. The stack comprises an annular yoke portion, a plurality of tooth portions, and a plurality of slots. The resin portion covers an inner wall surface of a slot of the plurality of slots. The resin portion protrudes outward relative to an end surface of the stack in a height direction of the stack. The resin portion is formed on at least a part of an end surface of the tooth portion so as to extend from the inner wall surface of the slot around the end surface of the tooth portion. A resin end portion of the resin portion is disposed on the end surface of the stack and a corner of the resin end portion is formed as an inclined surface including a planar surface or curved surface.

Stacked stator core

A flush toilet in which a comparatively large storage region that stores a functional unit can be formed in a region in more rear side than a bowl of a toilet main body, while improving designability of the whole flush toilet is provided. A toilet main body of a flush toilet includes a skirt and a rear function storage portion, the skirt includes an opening, the opening being formed in a portion of an upper part of an outer wall of the skirt, the opening allowing the rear function storage portion inside the skirt to open toward outside the skirt, and a part of the functional unit stored in the rear function storage portion forms an outer surface to close the opening.

A flush toilet includes a toilet main body made of ceramics including a skirt and a rear storage configured to store at least a part of a control unit. The skirt includes a rear wall and a side wall provided in a back surface and a side surface of the toilet main body, respectively. The rear wall includes an opening provided between a peripheral edge of each opening and the side wall of the skirt. The opening penetrates in a front-rear direction to communicate between an inner region of the rear storage or an outer region below the inner region and an outer region behind the toilet main body. The skirt further includes a cross beam that joinably or coupleably supports the peripheral edge of the opening and the side wall of the skirt to each other so as to reinforce strength of the toilet main body.

A method of manufacturing a stacked stator core comprises forming a stack that comprises an annular yoke portion, a plurality of tooth portions, and a plurality of slots. The method further comprises inserting a mold core member of the plurality of mold core members into a slot of the plurality of slots, the mold core member comprising a body portion and a closing portion connected to the body portion, the body portion extending along a longitudinal direction of the slot and spaced apart from an inner wall surface of the slot, the closing portion being positioned on a slot opening side of the slot and closing an open end portion of the slot on the slot opening side. Additionally, the method comprises forming a resin portion by charging a melted resin into a filling space between the slot and the mold core member.

Method of manufacturing stacked stator core

A method of manufacturing a stacked core includes: forming a stack by stacking a plurality of core members, each of the plurality of core members including one or more blanked members blanked by a die from a metal plate along a predetermined shape; removing one core member of the plurality of core members from the stack; supplying adhesive to the one core member removed from the stack; and stacking the one core member next to an adjacent core member of the plurality of core members so that the adhesive is placed between the one core member and the adjacent core member.
