Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of toilet sanitary ware, in particular to a foam shield device and a toilet. Background Art

[0002] Because toilets have a water seal at the bottom, dirty water inside the seal easily splashes during use, resulting in a poor user experience and posing certain hygiene issues. Foam Shields produce a large amount of foam that floats on the surface of the toilet water seal, effectively suppressing splashes and providing lubrication for easier drainage. The foam also forms an insulating layer on the toilet water seal, locking in odors and keeping the air fresh, making them a popular choice.

[0003] Conventional foam shield devices typically create foam by injecting water into a container containing a foaming solution. This forces the solution into the foaming structure, creating the foam. However, as the amount of water injected into the foaming solution gradually increases, uneven mixing of the solutions within the container occurs. The foaming solution is located at the bottom of the container, while the water is located at the top. Consequently, the foaming solution is not effectively utilized, leading to the failure of the foam shield.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems and improve the user experience of the foam shield, it is necessary to develop a foam shield and toilet with better user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0033] It should also be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention depending on the specific circumstances.

[0034] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] The present invention provides a foam shield device, comprising a liquid storage module 1, a mixing chamber 2, a liquid inlet pipeline 3 and a liquid outlet pipeline 4, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0037] Specifically, a chamber 11 for accommodating liquid can be formed in the above-mentioned liquid storage module 1, the mixing chamber 2 is located in the chamber 11 and is arranged close to the bottom wall of the chamber 11, and the liquid inlet pipeline 3 and the liquid outlet pipeline 4 are connected to the mixing chamber 2 through the liquid storage module 1; a liquid inlet hole 21 is provided on the mixing chamber 2, and the liquid in the chamber 11 can enter the mixing chamber 2 through the liquid inlet hole 21.

[0038] When the mixing chamber is in use, as the liquid flows through the liquid inlet pipe 3 and the liquid outlet pipe 4, the liquid in the liquid storage module 1 can flow into the mixing chamber 2 through the liquid inlet hole 21, where it mixes with water and is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 4. During this process, because the mixing chamber 2 is located adjacent to the bottom wall of the liquid storage module 1 and the density of water is lower than that of the bubble liquid, the different liquids in the liquid storage module 1 can spontaneously and fully mix without the intervention of external forces, effectively overcoming the problem of traditional foam shield structures being prone to failure and improving the performance of the foam shield device.

[0039] It should be noted that the mixing chamber 2 should be arranged as close to or as close to the bottom wall of the chamber 11 as possible, but at the same time, a gap for liquid flow should be left between the bottom of the mixing chamber 2 and the inner bottom wall of the chamber 11.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, the upper end of the liquid storage module 1 is provided with a hanger 5, which is threadedly connected to the opening 12 of the liquid storage module 1. In this case, the structure of the liquid storage module 1 is as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0041] The opening 12 is connected to the chamber 11. Under the action of the hanger 5, the liquid storage module 1 can be fixed to the corresponding installation position through the opening 12. Figure 1 shown.

[0042] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned hanger 5 can be set on the outside of the toilet body. At this time, the above-mentioned liquid storage module 1 is also located outside the toilet body with the hanger 5, which makes it convenient for the user to add or replace the foaming liquid into the liquid storage module 1; or, the above-mentioned hanger 5 can also be set inside the toilet body. At this time, the above-mentioned liquid storage module 1 is also located inside the toilet body, thereby making the toilet more beautiful as a whole.

[0043] As an optional embodiment, a liquid inlet port 51 and a liquid outlet port 52 are formed on the hanger 5 , the liquid inlet pipeline 3 is connected to the liquid inlet port 51 through the opening 12 , and the liquid outlet pipeline 4 is connected to the liquid outlet port 52 through the opening 12 .

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the liquid inlet port 51 can be connected to the liquid inlet pipe 3 by being inserted into the liquid inlet pipe 3; similarly, the liquid outlet port 52 can be connected to the liquid outlet pipe 4 by being inserted into the liquid outlet pipe 4. This connection method has a good sealing effect and can effectively prevent liquid leakage from the connection seam.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, at this time, both upper and lower ends of the liquid inlet port 51 are raised relative to the upper and lower surfaces of the hanging member 5. In this embodiment, the structure of the liquid inlet port 51 is substantially the same as that of the liquid outlet port 52.

[0046] In order to enhance the sealing of the connection between the hanger 5 and the liquid storage module 1 and prevent liquid from leaking from the opening 12 of the liquid storage module 1, as an optional embodiment, a sealing ring 6 is provided at the upper end of the opening 12. When the hanger 5 is connected to the liquid storage module 1, the sealing ring 6 is in an extruded state.

[0047] In order to facilitate the connection between the mixing chamber 2 and the liquid inlet pipeline 3 and the liquid outlet pipeline 4, and at the same time ensure that the connection has a good sealing effect, as an optional embodiment, a first port 22 and a second port 23 are formed on the mixing chamber 2, and the liquid inlet pipeline 3 and the liquid outlet pipeline 4 are sealed and connected to the mixing chamber 2 through the first port 22 and the second port 23 respectively.

[0048] Specifically, the first port 22 and the second port 23 can be connected to the liquid inlet pipeline 3 and the liquid outlet pipeline 4 respectively by being inserted into the pipelines.

[0049] It should be noted that the aforementioned liquid inlet pipeline 3 and liquid outlet pipeline 4 have the same structure but different uses. Similarly, the structures of the ports connected thereto, located on the hanger 5 and the mixing chamber 2, are also identical. Therefore, when the corresponding pipelines are connected, the position of the interface is relatively flexible, and the aforementioned pipelines, hangers, and mixing chambers can be conveniently and flexibly connected in series (i.e., it is only necessary to ensure that the liquid inlet port 51 and liquid outlet port 52 located on the hanger 5 can be connected to the water pipe and the bubble assembly, respectively). This greatly reduces the difficulty of assembling the equipment and the complexity of the pipelines, effectively reducing the processing cost and assembly difficulty of the equipment while improving the effectiveness of the foam shield.

[0050] As an optional embodiment, the first port 22 and the second port 23 are both formed at the top of the mixing chamber 2; the structure of the mixing chamber 2 is as follows Figure 6 shown.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional structure of the foam shield device is as follows: Figure 2 When the foam shield is activated, the liquid flows as shown in Figure 3 As shown, water input from the outside can flow into the mixing chamber 2 through the liquid inlet port 51, the liquid inlet pipeline 3, and the first port 22, and then flow out through the second port 23, the liquid outlet pipeline 4, and the liquid outlet port 52. During this process, the liquid in the liquid storage module 1 can flow into the mixing chamber 2 through the liquid inlet hole 21 under the action of the liquid flow. At the same time, the liquid can be preliminarily mixed with the water in the mixing chamber 2 and partially discharged through the liquid outlet pipeline 4.

[0052] It should be noted that in order to ensure that the liquid can be discharged smoothly through the above-mentioned pipeline, it is necessary to ensure that the liquid storage module 1 has good sealing performance.

[0053] During the use of the foam shield device, the total amount of liquid in the liquid storage module 1 remains substantially unchanged, but its concentration gradually decreases as the amount of water input increases. When the liquid concentration is too low to generate bubbles smoothly, the liquid in the liquid storage module 1 needs to be replaced.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first port 22 may be formed on the side of the mixing chamber 2 as required, and the second port 23 may be formed on the side or the top of the mixing chamber 2. Alternatively, the second port 23 may be formed on the side of the mixing chamber 2, and the first port 22 may be formed on the side or the top of the mixing chamber 2.

[0055] Accordingly, the port formed on the side of the mixing chamber 2 can be a hollow cylindrical structure or a hollow L-shaped structure. It is only necessary to ensure that the liquid inlet pipeline 3 and the liquid outlet pipeline 4 can be firmly connected to the above-mentioned port.

[0056] In this embodiment, the position of the liquid inlet hole 21 can be set at the bottom of the mixing chamber 2, or the liquid inlet hole 21 can be set at the side wall of the mixing chamber 2, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0057] It should be noted that the foam shield device also includes a water supply component and a foaming component, wherein the water supply component can be connected to the liquid inlet pipeline 3, and the foaming component can be connected to the liquid outlet pipeline 4.

[0058] The above-mentioned water supply component and foaming component are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0059] Example 2:

[0060] The difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that, in this case, a one-way component is provided at the liquid inlet hole 21 formed on the mixing chamber 2 , and the liquid can flow from the cavity 11 into the mixing chamber 2 through the one-way component.

[0061] When the foam shield device is in operation, water flows through the mixing chamber 2 under the transport of the pipeline. At this time, the liquid in the chamber 11 is affected by the Bernoulli effect and flows into the mixing chamber 2 through the above-mentioned one-way member. After mixing with the water in the mixing chamber 2, it is discharged through the liquid outlet pipeline 4.

[0062] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the liquid in the chamber 11 can flow smoothly into the mixing chamber 2, the mixing chamber 2 is provided with an air hole that can communicate with the environment.

[0063] During use of the foam shield device, the total amount of liquid in the liquid storage module 1 will gradually decrease with the passage of time until the liquid level is lower than the liquid inlet 21 of the mixing chamber 2. At this time, the liquid in the liquid storage module 1 needs to be replenished.

[0064] Example 3:

[0065] The present invention also provides a toilet comprising any one of the foam shield devices described above.

[0066] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
