Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a toilet, and more particularly, to an ultra water-saving toilet that can effectively discharge the dirt of the toilet by using a small amount of water. Background Art
[0002] Generally, a toilet includes: a toilet body that can support the sitting state of a user and is formed with a tub body that can temporarily accommodate dirt such as urine or feces; a water storage tank that is disposed on one side of the toilet body and stores water for washing the dirt temporarily accommodated in the tub body.
[0003] Such a toilet enables the user to urinate or defecate in a sitting state. Therefore, the user can adopt a convenient posture, and after urination or defecation, the water in the water storage tank immediately discharges the dirt in the tub body into a sewage pipe connected to the toilet body. Therefore, it has the characteristic of hygienic treatment after urination or defecation.
[0004] However, the conventional toilet has the following problems: After urination or defecation and other urination, about 12 to 15 liters of water stored in the water storage tank are all discharged into the tub body of the toilet body, resulting in a large water consumption.
[0005] To solve the above problems, as disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2010-0095110 (Publication Date: August 30, 2010), an improved toilet that can adjust the drainage volume of the water storage tank after urination is proposed.
[0006] Such an improved toilet discharges about 6-7 l of water stored in the water storage tank when treating feces by selectively operating a pair of buttons provided on the outer surface of the water storage tank, and discharges about 3-4 l of water stored in the water storage tank when treating urine, thereby reducing the water consumption compared to a normal toilet.
[0007] However, a water seal is formed in the discharge passage formed in the lower inner part of the toilet body, and the water seal is always filled with air. Therefore, when discharging dirt through the discharge passage, the discharge interference caused by the air in the water seal is large, resulting in the problem that the dirt cannot be discharged smoothly.
[0008] For the above reasons, in the corresponding field, an attempt has been made to develop a water-saving toilet that can adjust the drainage volume moving from the water storage tank to the toilet body for treating the dirt of the toilet body, and can minimize the discharge interference caused by the air filled in the water seal, and can smoothly discharge the dirt by using a small amount of water. However, so far, satisfactory results have not been achieved.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment
[0049] The following will describe in detail the configuration and operation of the preferred embodiment according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0050] This is for detailed description so that those of ordinary skill in the technical field of the present invention can easily implement the content of the present invention, and it does not mean to limit the technical idea and scope of the present invention.
[0051] In addition, when attaching reference numerals to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that for the same components, even if they are shown in different drawings, they should be marked with the same symbols as much as possible. Also, considering the configuration and operation of the present invention, the specifically defined terms may vary according to the intention and convention of the user and operator. Regarding the definition of the above terms, it should be judged based on the entire content of this specification.
[0052] Also, throughout the specification, when a certain part is described as "including" a certain component, unless there is a particularly contrary description, it means that other components are not excluded and other components may also be included.
[0053] First, the structure of the super water-saving toilet according to the present invention is roughly divided into: a toilet body, which is composed of a barrel part that temporarily accommodates dirt and a water seal that connects the barrel part to a sewage pipe; a water storage tank, which is installed on the upper side of the toilet body and stores a certain amount of water inside; a water-saving tank, which is installed inside the water storage tank and receives the water from the water storage tank; a drainage device, which moves the water contained in the water-saving tank to the barrel part; and an air moving component, which connects the water seal to the water-saving tank. The structure of the present invention divided as above will be described in more detail with reference to the exemplary drawings below.
[0054] First, as Figure 1 shown, the toilet body 100 includes: a barrel part 110 having a hemispherical space capable of accommodating water or dirt inside in an open state at the upper part; a water seal 120 that connects the discharge hole 111 formed on the inner side of the inside of the barrel part 110 to a sewage pipe, and a seat for a user to sit on is formed at the upper part of the barrel part 110, and the open upper part of the barrel part 110 can be opened and closed by a lid.
[0055] As Figure 9 shown, the water seal 120 is formed of the following structure: a first water seal 121 that bends upward from the discharge hole 111 and roughly forms a "U" shape; then, after forming a straight part 122 downward, it bends upward again from the end of the straight part 122 and then bends downward to connect to a sewage pipe in a roughly "U" shape of a second water seal 123, and the foul smell coming up from the sewage pipe can be doubly blocked by the water seal accumulated in the first water seal 121 and the second water seal 123.
[0056] The toilet body 100 can be made of ceramics, synthetic resin, metal, etc., and, if necessary, the inner surface of the barrel part 110 or the inner surface of the water seal 120 or all of the inner surface of the barrel part 110 and the inner surface of the water seal 120 are coated with a nano material to reduce the surface tension. Thus, the movement of dirt through the above inner surface is promoted, and the water consumption for treating dirt can also be reduced.
[0057] As Figure 1 and Figure 9 shown in the example, the water storage tank 200 is installed at the upper rear side of the toilet body 100 described above, a space of a predetermined size is formed inside to store a certain amount of water, and a through hole 210 connected to the barrel part 110 is formed on the inner bottom surface, so that the water in the water storage tank 200 moves to the barrel part 110 through the through hole 210.
[0058] The through-hole 210 formed in the water storage tank 200 can be opened by the operation of the drainage device 400 described in detail below, and the drainage device 400 is connected to a control lever installed on the outer side surface of the water storage tank 200 to be operated by the operation of the control lever.
[0059] The water storage tank 200 is equipped with a water inlet pipe (not shown in the drawings) connected to an external water supply pipe to fill water inside, and a water level adjusting device (not shown in the drawings) is formed together with the water inlet pipe to adjust the water level of the water filled inside the water storage tank 200.
[0060] The water-saving tank 300 is installed inside the water storage tank 200 described above to receive the water filled in the water storage tank 200 and store a certain amount of water, and the water stored in the water-saving tank 300 can be moved to the barrel part 110 by the operation of the drainage device 400.
[0061] As an embodiment of the water-saving tank 300, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown in the example, a first storage part 310 is formed in the center, its upper part is open, a hole 311 is formed on the inner bottom surface to communicate with the through-hole 210 of the water storage tank 200, and a second storage part 320 separated by a partition plate 330 is formed around the outside of the first storage part 310, and a communication port 331 is formed at the lower end of the partition plate 330 to communicate the first storage part 310 and the second storage part 320 to allow water to move.
[0062] An inflow port 340 is formed on the bottom surface of the water-saving tank 300 to allow the water in the water storage tank 200 to fill the first storage part 310 and the second storage part 320 of the water-saving tank 300. The inflow port 340 can be formed as one or a plurality of them are dispersed on the bottom surface to effectively fill the water into the first storage part 310 and the second storage part 320.
[0063] The amount of water moving into the water-saving tank 300 can be adjusted by adjusting the diameter or the number of the inflow ports 340. And in the case where more water than the set amount flows into the water-saving tank 300 through the inflow port 340, when the water in the water-saving tank 300 flows out to the barrel part 110 by the operation of the drainage device 400, the water flowing into the water-saving tank 300 through the inflow port 340 increases, and the water flowing out to the barrel part 110 together increases, so that the amount of water for sewage treatment can be increased, and relatively, the time for filling water into the water-saving tank 300 is reduced, thus shortening the time required for the re-operation of the drainage device 400.
[0064] Also, in the case where an amount of water less than the set amount flows into the water-saving tank 300 through the inflow port 340, when the water in the water-saving tank 300 flows out to the barrel portion 110 by the operation of the drainage device 400, the water flowing into the water-saving tank 300 through the inflow port 340 decreases, and at the same time, the water flowing out to the barrel portion 110 together also decreases, so that the amount of water used for treating dirt can be reduced. Relatively, the time for filling water into the water-saving tank 300 increases, and thus the time required for the re-operation of the drainage device 400 increases.
[0065] Therefore, by appropriately adjusting the size of the water-saving tank 300, the diameter of the hole 311 formed in the water-saving tank 300, the diameter of the through hole 210 formed in the water storage tank 200, the time for opening and closing the through hole 210 after opening by the operation of the drainage device 400, and the diameter and number of the inflow ports 340, the usage amount of the water discharged to the barrel portion and the time required for the re-operation of the drainage device can be provided to the user in an appropriate form according to the user's needs or installation environment and conditions, situations, etc.
[0066] Here, the usage amount of the water moving to the barrel portion 110 can be set to a certain usage amount by appropriately designing the size of the water-saving tank 300, the diameter of the hole 311 formed in the water-saving tank 300, the diameter of the through hole 210 formed in the water storage tank 200, and the inflow port 340. However, since the above-mentioned usage amount of water is determined during the manufacturing process of the toilet, the usage amount of water cannot be increased according to the user's needs or installation environment and conditions, situations, etc. during use.
[0067] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a device that can increase the usage amount of water moving to the barrel portion 110 as needed during the use of the toilet. An auxiliary inflow port 350 is formed in the water-saving tank 300 through this device, and the amount of water flowing into the water storage tank 200 is increased by controlling the opening and closing amount of the auxiliary inflow port 350.
[0068] That is, as Figure 4 shown, a through quadrilateral auxiliary inflow port 350 is formed on the surface of the water-saving tank 300, guiding members 351 are formed facing each other on both sides of the auxiliary inflow port 350 on the reverse side of the water-saving tank 300, and the opening and closing member 360 slides up and down in a state of being inserted into the guiding members 351. Thus, the opening and closing amount of the auxiliary inflow port 350 is adjusted by the up and down sliding operation of the opening and closing member 360, and thereby, the amount of water moving to the second storage portion 320 through the auxiliary inflow port 350 can be adjusted.
[0069] Here, the opening and closing amount of the auxiliary flow inlet 350 can be adjusted step by step. As an embodiment thereof, an elastic protrusion 352 is formed at the upper end of the guide member 351, and a plurality of hanging grooves 361 are formed along the length direction on both sides of the opening and closing member 360, so that the elastic protrusion 352 of the guide member 351 is selectively hung and fixed, so that the opening and closing member 360 moves up and down along the guide member 351 step by step, and the opening and closing amount of the auxiliary flow inlet 350 can be adjusted simply and accurately.
[0070] And, as Figure 5 shown in (a) and (b) of
[0071] Also, a marking portion such as a scale may be provided on the outer side surface of the opening and closing member 360, so that the opening and closing amount of the auxiliary flow inlet 350 that slides up and down according to the opening and closing member 360 can be judged more accurately through the marking portion of the opening and closing member 360.
[0072] Therefore, as Figure 5 shown in (a) of Figure 5 when the opening and closing member 360 is lowered to block the auxiliary flow inlet 350, the water in the water storage tank 200 only flows in through the flow inlet 340 formed on the bottom surface of the water-saving tank 300, so that the water usage amount set for water saving can be maintained. And, as
[0073] shown in (b) of
[0074] when the opening and closing member 360 is raised to open the auxiliary flow inlet 350, the water in the water storage tank 200 flows in through the flow inlet 340 formed on the bottom surface of the water-saving tank 300 and the auxiliary flow inlet 350, so that the usage amount can be further increased on the basis of the set water usage amount according to the opening degree of the auxiliary flow inlet 350. Figure 2 shown in
[0075] In addition, a connection part 321 communicating with the second storage part 320 is formed to protrude upward from the water storage tank 300. The connection part 321 is connected to an air moving part 500 described in detail below, and enables the air moved through the air moving part 500 to move accurately and rapidly vertically downward from the upper side of the second storage part 320. Thus, the water in the second storage part 320 can be effectively pressurized and promoted by the air.
[0076] In addition, a rubber seal is provided together with the hole 311 of the water storage tank 300 to maintain airtightness when connected to the through hole 210 of the water storage tank 200.
[0077] The drainage device 400 is installed in the water storage tank 300 described above, and opens and closes the hole 311 of the water storage tank 300 by operating a control rod to control the movement of the water stored in the water storage tank 300 to the barrel part 110.
[0078] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the drainage device 400 is installed in the first storage part 310 of the water storage tank 300. The upper side of the cylindrical main body 410 is connected to a control rod installed outside the water storage tank 200 through a connection device (not marked with an attached drawing symbol), and the lower side of the cylindrical main body 410 is connected to the hole 311 of the water storage tank 300 connected to the through hole 210 of the water storage tank 200.
[0079] Here, an opening part 430 is formed around the outer side of the lower side of the cylindrical main body 410 to communicate the inside and outside. And a cylindrical support part 440 with a penetrated center is formed below the center of the opening part 430. The outlet at the lower end of the support part 440 is matched with and fixed to the hole 311 of the water storage tank 300. The upper end inlet of the support part 440 is opened and closed in an airtight state by an opening and closing member 420 that moves up and down inside the cylindrical main body 410. And an overflow pipe 450 that bends upward and extends by a predetermined length is provided on the side surface of the support part 440. And the water flowing in through the overflow pipe 450 always flows out to the outlet of the support part 440 regardless of whether the support part 440 is opened or closed, thereby preventing the water storage tank 200 from overflowing.
[0080] The air moving part 500 connects the water seal 120 of the toilet main body 100 described above and the water storage tank 300. And when the water accommodated in the water storage tank 300 moves to the barrel part 110, the air in the water seal 120 flows into the inside of the water storage tank 200, so that the water moving from the water storage tank 300 to the barrel part 110 can be pressurized and promoted.
[0081] As a preferred embodiment, as Figures 6 to 8As shown, the air moving component 500 includes: a first moving pipe 510, the upper end of which is connected to the connection part 321 of the water-saving tank 300; a second moving pipe 520, the lower end of which is connected to the straight part 122 of the trap 120; and a connection component 530, which is disposed through the bottom surface of the water storage tank 200 to maintain airtightness. Moreover, one side located inside the water storage tank 200 is connected to the lower end of the first moving pipe 510, and the other side located outside the water storage tank 200 is connected to the upper end of the second moving pipe 520 to communicate the first moving pipe 510 with the second moving pipe 520.
[0082] Here, as Figure 8 shown, in the connection component 530, a cylindrical main body with a thread formed at the lower end penetrates from the inside of the bottom surface of the water storage tank 200 to the outside together with the airtight holding ring. Moreover, the thread of the main body penetrating to the outside of the bottom surface of the water storage tank 200 is engaged with a nut, whereby the connection component 530 is firmly fixed in a state of penetrating the water storage tank 200.
[0083] And the upper end of the first moving pipe 510 is detachably connected to the connection part 321 of the water-saving tank 300 through a connecting piece 511. As a preferred embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, the connecting piece 511 is formed with a first vertical part 513 connected to the first moving pipe 510 on one side of the horizontal part 512, a second vertical part 514 connected to the connection part 321 on the other side of the horizontal part 512, and a ventilation hole 517 formed at the end in the length direction of the horizontal part 512. Thus, the air moving from the trap 120 through the first moving pipe 510 moves to the second storage part 320 through the first vertical part 513, the horizontal part 512, the second vertical part 514, and the connection part 321, and the ventilation hole 517 of the horizontal part 512 prevents the straight part 122 from forming a vacuum state, resulting in the stop of air flow.
[0084] The end in the length direction of the horizontal part 512 of the connecting piece 511 is formed in the shape of a ventilation port 515, and the ventilation port 515 is opened and closed by a lid 516 formed with a ventilation hole 517. Thus, when it is necessary to quickly relieve the vacuum formed in the straight part 122 of the trap 120, or when the inside of the horizontal part 512 or the ventilation hole 517 is blocked, or when it is necessary to check the inside of the horizontal part 512, by opening the lid 516 of the ventilation port 515, effective treatment can be carried out.
[0085] On the other hand, the lower end of the second moving pipe 520 is detachably connected to the insertion hole 124 of the straight part 122 through a coupling piece 521. As a preferred embodiment, as Figure 7As shown, one side of the coupling member 521 is connected to the lower end of the second moving tube 520, and the other side is formed by an elastic clamping portion 522, so that it can be elastically inserted and fixed into the insertion hole 124 of the straight portion 122. Moreover, when separating the elastic clamping portion 522 from the insertion hole 124, when pressing the outside of the elastic clamping portion 522 inward, the elastic clamping portion 522 can be easily separated from the insertion hole 124.
[0086] Moreover, the outside of the elastic clamping portion 522 is wrapped by an airtight holding member 523 made of a material such as silicon, and an insertion groove 125 is formed around the outside of the insertion hole 124 of the straight portion 122. Thus, when inserting and fixing the elastic clamping portion 522 into the insertion hole 124, since the end of the airtight holding member 523 is inserted into the insertion groove 125, the airtightness between the insertion hole 124 and the elastic clamping portion 522 can be firmly maintained by the airtight holding member 523.
[0087] Here, an airtight holding projection or an airtight holding ring can also be provided around the outside of the end of the airtight holding member 523, so that the airtight holding between the insertion hole 124 and the elastic clamping portion 522 can be further strengthened.
[0088] On the other hand, when the insertion hole 124 connected to the coupling member 521 of the second moving tube 520 is formed in the straight portion 122 of the trap 120, in order to enable the air in the straight portion 122 to move to the second storage portion 320 of the water storage tank 300 quickly and effectively through the air moving member 500, preferably, it is formed on the upper side of the straight portion 122 intersecting with the first trap 121, and this insertion hole 124 can be formed in the side surface or the center of the rear surface of the straight portion 122 of the trap 120.
[0089] In addition, although the insertion hole 124 formed in the straight portion 122 of the trap 120 can be formed on the surface of the straight portion 122, however, when an internal space of a predetermined size is formed from the rear of the straight portion 122 and an expansion portion is formed protruding, and the insertion hole 124 is formed in this expansion portion, the air moving from the straight portion 122 of the trap 120 to the second storage portion 320 of the water storage tank 300 through the air moving member 500 moves together with the air existing on the straight portion 122 of the trap 120 and the air existing in the expansion portion, so that more air moves to the second storage portion 320, thereby further pressurizing and promoting the movement of the water moving from the water storage tank 300 to the barrel body portion.
[0090] On the other hand, for the convenience of manufacturing, assembling, replacing, and maintenance management, the air moving member 500 according to the embodiment of the present invention is formed by the first moving tube 510, the second moving tube 520, and the connecting member 530 as described above. However, the air moving member 500 can also be formed by an integrally formed tube.
[0091] Moreover, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the first moving pipe 510 and the second moving pipe 520 that constitute the air moving member 500 are manufactured to have a predetermined inner diameter, and may be one of a metal pipe, a reinforced glass pipe, a ceramic pipe, or a rubber pipe that can provide the efficiency and accuracy of air movement, or may be formed of a transparent, non-transparent, or semi-transparent synthetic resin pipe that is easy to manufacture and convenient for installation, replacement, and inspection.
[0092] Moreover, as another embodiment, the first moving pipe 510 and the second moving pipe 520 may also continuously form air guiding grooves in a vortex shape along the length direction on the inner surfaces of the first moving pipe 510 and the second moving pipe 520 to improve the fluidity of air.
[0093] Moreover, when air moves from the straight portion 122 of the trap 120 to the second moving pipe 520, a part of the dirt in the straight portion 122 may flow into the second moving pipe 520. Therefore, a filter or a check valve may be provided in a certain part of the second moving pipe.
[0094] The usage process of the ultra-water-saving toilet of the present invention configured as described above will be described below.
[0095] First, before using the toilet, as Figure 9 shown, the hole 311 of the water-saving tank 300 is in a closed state according to the opening and closing member 420 of the drainage device 400, the water level of the water storage tank 200 is in a full water state, and the first storage portion 310 and the second storage portion 320 of the water-saving tank 300 are also in a full water state except for the remaining space on the upper side.
[0096] When, in this state, after the user urinates or defecates on the seat cushion on the upper part of the bowl body 110 and then operates the control lever located outside the water storage tank 200 to process the dirt temporarily accommodated in the bowl body 110, as Figure 10 shown, the opening and closing member 420 of the drainage device 400 located in the first storage portion 310 of the water-saving tank 300 rises and separates from the upper end inlet of the support portion 440, the water in the first storage portion 310 is discharged through the opening portion 430 of the drainage device 400, and moves through the hole 311 of the water-saving tank 300 and the through hole 210 of the water storage tank 200 to the bowl body 110 of the toilet body 100.
[0097] At this time, the water in the second storage unit 320 also discharges toward the lower communication port 331 of the partition plate 330, and is discharged to the barrel body 110 through the opening 430, the hole 311, and the through hole 210. During this process, the volume of the air that can flow into the upper side of the second storage unit 320 expands, thereby reducing the pressure. According to the above-described pressure reduction effect, the air in the straight portion 122 of the trap 120 is instantaneously sucked in through the air moving member 500 and moved to the second storage unit 320, thereby promoting and pressurizing the movement of the water discharged from the second storage unit 320 toward the hole 311. Moreover, through the above-described action, the dirt located in the barrel body 110 can effectively pass through the first trap 121 of the trap 120, pass through the straight portion 122 again through the second trap 123, and be discharged to the sewer pipe through the siphon effect.
[0098] Accordingly, by using a small amount of water stored in the first storage unit 310 and the second storage unit 320 of the water storage tank 300, the dirt temporarily accommodated in the barrel body 110 can be effectively discharged. Moreover, the amount of water used at this time is at most 3.8 liters, at least 2.7 liters, and approximately 3.5 liters on average.
[0099] Moreover, during the period when the opening and closing member 420 of the drainage device 400 is open, when the water moves toward the barrel body 110 through the hole 311 and the through hole 210, the water accommodated in the first storage unit 310 and the second storage unit 320 of the water storage tank 300 and the water flowing into the inside through the inflow port 340 of the water storage tank 300 from the water storage tank 200 move together through the opening and closing member through the hole 311 and the through hole 210 to the barrel body 110.
[0100] Therefore, when the diameter of the inflow port 340 formed on the bottom surface of the water storage tank 300 is formed to be larger, or the number of the inflow ports 340 is increased, so as to increase the inflow amount of the water flowing into the inside of the water storage tank 300 through the inflow port 340, the amount of water used for treating dirt after urination can be a slightly larger amount than 3.5 liters as the average amount. On the contrary, when the diameter of the inflow port 340 is formed to be smaller, or the number of the inflow ports 340 is decreased, so as to decrease the inflow amount of the water flowing into the inside of the water storage tank 300, the amount of water used for treating dirt after urination is a slightly smaller amount than 3.5 liters as the average amount. Therefore, it can be designed into an appropriate form and provided in the manufacturing process of the ultra water-saving toilet according to the needs of the user, or considering the installation environment, conditions, situations, etc.
[0101] Also, when the user needs to increase the amount of water consumed for treating the excrement during the use of the installed toilet, the opening and closing member 360 installed at the auxiliary inflow port 350 is raised to the maximum to fully open the auxiliary inflow port 350, so that during the period when the opening and closing member 420 of the drainage device 400 is opened for treating the excrement, the water flowing into the inside of the water tank simultaneously flows into the inflow port and the auxiliary inflow port and moves to the barrel part, thereby being able to increase the amount of water consumed when treating the excrement.
[0102] On the other hand, when the opening and closing member 420 of the drainage device 400 is opened to treat the excrement in the barrel part 110, so that the water stored in the water tank 300 is discharged to the barrel part 110 through the opening 430 of the drainage device 400, through the hole 311 of the water tank 300 and the through hole 210 of the water storage tank, only a small amount of water in the water of the water storage tank 200 flows into through the inflow port 340 of the water tank 300. Therefore, the water level of the water storage tank 200 is as Figure 10 not changed much.
[0103] Therefore, as Figure 11 shown, when the opening and closing member 420 of the drainage device 400 is closed, the water remaining in the water storage tank 200 flows into the water tank 300 through the inflow port 340, and quickly fills the first storage part 310 and the second storage part 320 of the water tank 300. And the relatively decreased water level of the water storage tank 200 can be supplemented by the operation of the water level adjusting device provided on the water inlet pipe.
[0104] In the conventional toilet, all the water stored in the water storage tank with a large storage capacity is used. Therefore, not only the water consumption is large, but also the time for filling the water storage tank again is long. Therefore, the interval for discharging water to the barrel part again is longer. However, in the super water-saving toilet of the present invention, after the water in the water tank 300 with a relatively low storage capacity is used for treating the excrement, the water tank 300 is filled with water in a relatively short time. Therefore, the interval for discharging water to the barrel part 110 is shortened, thereby doubling the convenience of the user.
[0105] As described above, specific embodiments have been described in the detailed description of the present invention. However, various deformations can be made without departing from the scope of the described content. Therefore, the scope of the described content need not be limited to the described embodiments, and should be defined according to the claims and their equivalents.
