Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a toilet, and more particularly to a silicone tube for a pull-cord silicone tube toilet. Background Technology

[0002] At the end of 2020, I applied for a pull-cord silicone tubing conical drain pipe for my toilet. The silicone tubing is crucial to the success of the toilet. Through using silicone floor drain odor-proof products, I learned about the characteristics of silicone: soft, strong, fatigue-resistant, elastic, and resistant to heat and cold. Combining these characteristics with a tankless toilet would surely produce unexpectedly good results. In the second half of 2019, I discovered in my experiments that the silicone tubing, when bent, can act as a water flow switch. Combined with the pull cord, the opening and closing of the silicone tubing can be controlled by hand. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a silicone tube for a pull-cord silicone tube toilet, the main feature of which is that the flow rate of the inner diameter of the silicone tube remains unchanged after the pull cord is installed, and it is tightly sealed after being opened.

[0004] The advantages and effects of this invention are that the silicone tube of the pull-cord silicone tube toilet is small, flexible, lightweight, easy to manufacture, reduces costs, and is durable and aesthetically pleasing.

[0005] My invention is a pull-cord silicone tube toilet. The silicone tube is located at the bottom of the toilet bowl, on the round water outlet. The outlet is tilted forward at a 6-degree angle to reduce the space occupied by the silicone tube when bending it within the tapered tube. Initially, the silicone tube was soft and elastic, and even when bent, it couldn't prevent water flow, resulting in poor sealing and leaks. Special improvements were necessary to meet usage requirements. Using a pull cord to bend the silicone tube required fixing the cord to the bottom back of the tube. Without a better solution, installing or using the pull cord would reduce the inner diameter of the silicone tube, decreasing water flow and creating a flat tube that prevented waste from flowing down, failing to meet specifications. Solving this problem was very difficult. However, due to perseverance and the significant nature of the issue, after many days of research, a solution was finally found.

[0006] The silicone tube I invented for the lower part of the toilet bowl is characterized by having four thickened silicone sheets and two corresponding thickened top edges glued to the front and back (front and back sides) of the silicone tube. A gap is left in the middle of the four silicone sheets. A stainless steel sheet with holes at both ends and bent upwards is fixed to the lower outer side of the back of the silicone tube. An arc-shaped stainless steel wire is installed through two holes on the front of the silicone tube, and two identical positioning plastic tubes are installed on it. A connector and pull wire are installed in the middle. Attached Figure Description

[0011] See attached document Figure 1 , 2 The silicone tube of the pull-cord silicone tube toilet of the present invention is composed of an attached... Figure 1 The front 2 (front) of the silicone tube and its attachments Figure 2 The back side 15 (reverse side) of the silicone tube forms a silicone tube. The front side 2 of the silicone tube has a thickened sheet 1 at the top, a thickened sheet 4 in the middle, and a thickened sheet 12 at the bottom. The back side 15 of the silicone tube has a thickened sheet 14 at the top, a thickened sheet 16 in the middle, and a thickened sheet 18 at the bottom, with a lifting stainless steel sheet 19 installed below it. Lifting cables 7, 10, and 3, and a positioning plastic tube 6 are installed at both ends of the stainless steel sheet 19. The front side 2 and the back side 15 of the silicone tube form a silicone tube. The silicone tube, laid flat, consists of a top and a bottom section. The tube is 130 mm long, 95 mm wide, and 1.2 mm thick, with an inner diameter of 63 mm. A thickened piece 1 is located at the upper part of the front section 2 of the silicone tube. A silicone strip, 85 mm long, 5 mm wide, and 1.2 mm thick, is attached to the top of the silicone tube for use with clamps to secure it. The middle thickened piece 4 is 85 mm long, 40 mm wide, and 1.2 mm thick, and is attached 30 mm from the top of the silicone tube. 3 mm below the thickened sheet 4, attach a silicone thickened sheet 12 measuring 85 mm long, 40 mm wide, and 1.2 mm thick; on the back of the silicone tube 15 (mirror image of the front 2), attach the thickened silicone strip 14, the middle thickened sheet 16, and the lower thickened sheet 18 using the same silicone strip at the corresponding positions to the silicone strip 1; on the lower thickened sheet 18, at the midpoint 25 mm from the top edge, use a 3 mm diameter hollow punch to machine two holes 20 and 21, with the spacing between the two holes... The stainless steel sheet 19 is 30 mm long, 9 mm wide, and 0.8 mm thick. Two holes 20 and 21 with a diameter of 4 mm are machined in the middle, with a spacing of 30 mm between the holes. Two holes 9 and 13 with a diameter of 3 mm are machined at its two ends for threading pull wires 7 and 8. The other end of pull wire 7 is also threaded through hole 13. Both ends are bent downwards at a 90-degree angle to form a... Figure 1The shape of holes 9 and 13 is used to insert a 120 mm long, 1.5 mm diameter bow-shaped stainless steel wire 7 into the two holes 9 and 13. The two ends of the stainless steel wire 7 are bent into hooks, and two positioning plastic tubes 6 are first inserted in the middle. The plastic tubes 6 have an outer diameter of 4 mm, a wall thickness of 0.5 mm, and a length of 45 mm. A connector 10 and a pull wire 3 are installed in the middle of the two plastic tubes 6. The thickening plates 1, 4, 12, 14, 16, and 18 are pasted on the silicone tubes 2 and 15. Alternatively, they can be formed in one step by opening a mold during the production of silicone tubes without pasting. The pasting method is better for explaining the function of the thickening plates. Using a single elastic and relatively soft silicone tube, when bent, the elasticity prevents it from forming a sharp bend and thus does not block the water flow. After adding the thickening plates, the front of the silicone tube The gaps 5 and 17 on the back side, when the silicone tube is bent and closed, the gaps formed by the thickened plates on both sides reduce the elasticity of the silicone tube and increase its local hardness, forming a dead bend that prevents water from flowing through, resulting in a very tight seal. When the pull line is released, the silicone tube returns to its original shape, which is very simple and practical. A horizontal lifting stainless steel plate 19 is added to the lower part of the back side 15 of the silicone tube. Holes are drilled at both ends and bent at 90-degree angles to install pull lines 3 and 7. This design does not affect the water flow inside the silicone tube, but only causes the silicone tube to deform slightly. In actual use, it can pass through objects that are 50 mm long and 40 mm wide. Due to the thickened plates, the bending gap of the silicone tube is small and forms a dead bend. The more water there is and the greater the pressure, the less water can flow out. From the perspective of the materials used, it is minimal and of high quality, which is very economical.

[0012] See attached document Figure 3 The stainless steel toilet consists of a base ring 29, four uprights 25, 26, 32, and 33, a basin frame 23, an inner bowl 24, a water outlet 27, and clamps 28. A silicone tube 17 is connected to the water outlet 27, and a tapered plastic tube 30 is installed on the outside. A tapered drain outlet 31 is connected to the bottom. A 2mm diameter pull hole 34 is machined on the top of the tapered plastic tube 30, through which a 2mm diameter pull cable 40 passes. The silicone tube 17... Figure 3In the bent-closed state, the operating mechanism has a handle 35, the inner end 43 of which is welded to the basin frame 23. The middle of the pull arm 45 is fixed to the basin frame 23 by a screw shaft 38. A hole 37 is machined on the outside of the screw shaft 38 to insert a spring. The spring is 60 mm long, the spring coil diameter is 15 mm, and the diameter of the steel wire used for the spring is 1.5 mm. The other end of the spring is connected to the column 44 of the basin frame 23. The left end 39 of the pull arm 45 is welded and fixed to the pull head 40. To prevent the pull head 40 from sliding down, a cable is attached to the lower rear end of the basin frame 23. A stainless steel ring 41 is welded on, and a pull wire 40 passes through the ring 41. The pull wire 40 is a stainless steel wire with a diameter of 2 mm. There is a joint 36 fixed with a screw in the middle of the pull wire, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the pull wire 40. When you hold the handle 35 and the pull arm 45, the bent part of the silicone tube opens. Due to the weight of the water in the bucket, the water is flushed out very quickly. When you release the handle 35 and the pull arm 45, the bent part of the silicone tube closes upward due to the pulling force of the spring 37. Adding 1 liter of water or not will achieve the effect of sealing and preventing odor.
