Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bathroom equipment products, in particular to a toilet flushing system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The toilet is commonly known as a toilet, and its flushing method is usually straight flushing or siphon flushing. The toilet flushing water inlet valve has two water outlets, one of which is connected to the rim side (RIM side) of the toilet wall, and the other is connected to the siphon flushing side (JET side). The RIM side pipe outlet is usually located below the toilet seat ring and close to the seat ring, and the JET side pipe outlet is low and located in the toilet water storage part.

[0003] The flushing method of the flushing valve in the prior art includes the following methods:

[0004] Method one: as shown in Figure 1 , a double switch valve is used. Since the driving power of the switch valve is low, a dry battery can be used for driving, or a mechanical valve opening device can be added to the switch valve, which is manually opened by hand. This method is simple to drive, low in cost, and long in service life. However, the flushing effect of the switch valve is more dependent on the water pressure, and the flushing effect will be poor when the pressure is low.

[0005] Method two: as shown in Figure 2 , a water tank pump and a reversing valve are used. Although this method can solve the problem of poor flushing effect under low water pressure, in the case of power failure, the toilet flushing under power failure can only be realized by driving the water pump. Since the driving power of the water pump is very large, a special large capacitor or large capacity battery must be used for driving, which is high in cost, short in service life, and has safety hazards.

In normal state, A and B waterways are used for flushing, and when in power failure state, A and C waterways are used for double switch valve power failure flushing. Although this power failure flushing method is simple, low in cost, and long in service life, it is equivalent to installing two sets of flushing systems, using the water tank + water pump method in normal state, and using the double switch valve method in power failure state.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Referring to Figure 5 , the difference between this embodiment and example 1 is that the power failure flushing water path is connected to the water outlet end of the valve C3.

[0038] Referring to Figure 6The difference between the embodiment and the embodiment 1 is that the valve B2 and the valve C3 are combined into a reversing valve 8.

[0039] Embodiment 4

[0040] Referring to Figure 7 to Figure 10 The difference between the embodiment and the embodiment 1 is that the valve A1 and the switching device 9 are combined into a combined valve, which realizes the switching function while realizing the opening and closing function. Specifically, in the embodiment, the switching device 9 has a valve seat A9021, a valve seat B9031, a water inlet 901, and a water outlet A902 and a water outlet B903 connected with the water supplement channel and the power-off flushing water channel respectively, and the moving valve core 91 is movably installed between the valve seat A9021 and the valve seat B9031, and is used for blocking the water outlet A902 or the water outlet B903.

[0041] Further, the valve A1 and the switching device 9 are combined into a combined valve, which has the water inlet 901 and a switching cavity 900, and further has a sealing diaphragm 92 installed inside, and the water outlet C is arranged below the sealing diaphragm 92, the water outlet C is connected with the inlet of the switching cavity 900, and the outlet of the switching cavity 900 is connected with the water outlet A902 and the water outlet B903.

[0042] Further, referring to Figure 7 to Figure 12 The valve A1 of the combined valve is a switch valve, which adopts the electromagnetic coil control switch 94 or the manual control switch. In the embodiment, the inlet of the switching cavity 900 is connected with two water inlets connected with the water inlet 901, each water inlet is provided with a first valve seat 95 and a second valve seat 96, and the switch valve can control the second valve seat 96 to be opened through the electromagnetic coil control switch 94 (normal water tank water supplement, the electromagnetic coil control switch valve is adopted, the coil is electrified, the internal piston releases the second valve seat 96, the water pressure in the upper cavity of the diaphragm is discharged to the water outlet, so that the water pressure below the diaphragm is large, the diaphragm is lifted), of course, the first valve seat 95 can also be controlled to be opened through the manual control switch. The switching device 9 of the combined valve adopts a manual control mechanism to switch the water channel, the manual control mechanism is movably installed on the combined valve, and the manual control mechanism is linked with the moving valve core 91, or is linked with the moving valve core 91 and the manual control switch. The manual control mechanism can control the switch valve and the switching device 9 at the same time; the manual handle assembly 93 is pulled upward, the moving valve core 91 of the switching device 9 is pulled through the middle line of the switching cavity 900 through the connecting rod mechanism, and then the switch valve is opened by continuing to pull upward, that is, the manual switch realizes switching and then realizes opening of the valve.

[0043] Further, in the embodiment, the manual control mechanism is a manual handle assembly 93, the manual handle 93 is movably installed on the combined valve through an elastic reset mechanism 931, one end of the manual handle 93 is provided with a push bracket 930, the push bracket 930 is linked with the moving valve core 91, the other end of the manual handle 93 is linked with the switch valve. In the embodiment, the elastic reset mechanism 931 is a spring, the manual handle 93 is installed on the combined valve through a guide mechanism 932. The manual handle 93 is linked with the switch valve through a manual trigger mechanism 933, the manual trigger mechanism 933 includes a manual switch and a connecting rod mechanism arranged on the switch valve, and a trigger inclined groove arranged on the manual handle 93, the trigger inclined groove is linked with the connecting rod mechanism, when the manual handle 93 is pulled upward, the trigger inclined groove triggers the manual switch through the connecting rod mechanism, so that the switch valve is opened.

[0044] Further, in the embodiment, the moving valve core 91 is movably installed on the push bracket 930, when the push bracket 930 is pulled upward, an acting force is applied to the moving valve core 91 to drive the moving valve core 91 to move upward, when the push bracket 930 is reset downward, no acting force is applied to the moving valve core 91. In the embodiment, the push bracket 930 has a sliding cavity, the moving valve core 91 has a sliding rod at the bottom, the sliding rod is inserted into the sliding cavity. The moving valve core 91 inside the combined valve is separated from the manual handle 93, when the valve is manually opened, the moving valve core does not need to be 100% sealed with the valve seat A, the water pressure can naturally seal the moving valve core on the valve seat A; if the two are fixed, during the manual opening process, water will leak from the valve seat A; in addition, when the manual handle is released, the closing of the switch valve is delayed, if the two are fixed, the moving valve core will be separated from the valve seat A when the valve is not closed, which will cause water leakage. If the two are separated, the moving valve core can naturally fall by gravity when there is no water pressure.

[0045] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:

[0046] Referring to Figure 10 , in the natural state, the moving valve core 91 is in the lower position, when the electromagnetic coil control switch 94 is powered on, water enters from the water inlet 901, the sealing diaphragm 92 is lifted, water enters the switching cavity 900, and since the moving valve core 91 is sealed on the valve seat B 9031, water exits from the water outlet A 902.

[0047] Referring to Figure 11When the water needs to be flushed, pull up the manual handle. During the process of pulling up the manual handle, the moving valve core 91 is switched first. When the moving valve core 91 moves upward to about 2 / 3 of the position, the manual handle 93 continues to move upward and drives the manual switch to open the switch valve. Then water enters from the water inlet 901, enters the switching cavity 900, at this time the moving valve core 91 is very close to the valve seat A 9021, and the water pressure will seal the moving valve core 91 on the valve seat A 9021. Water flows out from the water outlet B 903.

[0048] Embodiment 5

[0049] This embodiment is based on embodiment 1, the switching device 9 uses a floating ball to control the switching waterway. Specifically, the switching device 9 has a valve seat A 9021, a valve seat B 9031, a water inlet 901, and a water outlet A 902 and a water outlet B 903 connected with the water supplement waterway and the power-off flushing waterway respectively. The moving valve core 91 is movably installed between the valve seat A 9021 and the valve seat B 9031, used for blocking the water outlet A 902 or the water outlet B 903. The floating ball is arranged in the water tank 5 and linked with the moving valve core 91. Of course, on the basis of embodiment 2, the floating ball and the switch valve are also linked, and the floating ball can be used to control the action of the switch valve, that is, the manual power of embodiment 2 is replaced by the buoyancy as the power.

[0050] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0051] The water level in the water tank 5 is used to switch by the floating ball, that is, when the water level in the water tank 5 is high, the floating ball is lifted to seal the moving valve core 91 on the valve seat A 9021. At this time, the switch valve is powered on, and the waterway is from the water outlet B 903. When the water level in the water tank 5 is low, the floating ball falls, and the moving valve core 91 also falls to seal on the valve seat B 9031. At this time, the switch valve is powered on, and water flows out from the water outlet A.

[0052] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present application, but not limiting of the present application. Any simple transformation of the present application belongs to the protection scope of the present application.
