Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathroom technology, specifically to a sterilization and flushing device and a toilet. Background Technology

[0002] Among existing toilets, there is a type with a body-washing device. This device supplies tap water to a nozzle and sprays it onto the body to wash the affected areas. Tap water contains bacteria, and when sprayed onto the body, these bacteria can cause infection. Long-term use of this body-washing device may lead to illness due to these bacteria. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization flushing device and toilet, which reduces bacteria in the flushing water of the human body flushing device by sterilization components, thereby solving the problem that bacteria in the flushing water of existing human body flushing devices can cause diseases.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention includes:

[0005] A sterilization and rinsing device includes a water inlet path, a rinsing rod assembly, and a sterilization component. The water inlet path includes an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end is connected to a tap water network, and the outlet end is connected to the rinsing rod assembly. The sterilization component includes an air pipe connected to the water inlet path for supplying sterilizing gas to the water inlet path. The sterilizing gas mixes with water to form sterilizing water, and the sterilizing water is supplied to the rinsing rod assembly through the outlet end. The rinsing rod assembly sprays out the sterilizing water from the water inlet path. The sterilizing water is water with sterilization function and is used to sterilize the rinsed area.

[0006] In one embodiment, the water inlet path and the air pipe are connected by a T-junction, which includes a main channel and a secondary channel. The main channel extends in a straight line, and the secondary channel forms an angle with the main channel. The main channel is connected to the water inlet path to form part of the water inlet path, and the secondary channel is connected to the air pipe, so that the bactericidal gas flows into the water inlet path through the secondary channel by means of the water flow in the main channel.

[0007] In one embodiment, the water inlet circuit includes a first water pipe, a second water pipe, and a booster pump disposed between the first water pipe and the second water pipe. The first water pipe is used to connect to the tap water network, the second water pipe is connected to the booster pump and the flushing rod assembly, and the tee is disposed in the second water pipe or the first water pipe, so that the bactericidal gas flows into the second water pipe or the first water pipe through the tee.

[0008] In one embodiment, the second water pipe is at least a group, and each group of the second water pipe is connected to a gas pipe via a tee.

[0009] In one embodiment, the angle between the main channel and the secondary channel is less than or equal to 90°, such that the angle between the water flow direction in the main channel and the airflow direction in the secondary channel forms an acute angle or a right angle.

[0010] In one embodiment, the bactericidal gas is ozone or chlorine.

[0011] In one embodiment, the flushing rod assembly includes at least one nozzle for spraying the disinfectant water onto a person.

[0012] The technical solution of the present invention also includes: a toilet, comprising the above-mentioned sterilization and flushing device.

[0013] In one embodiment, the toilet is a seated toilet.

[0014] In one embodiment, the toilet includes a toilet body, a mounting plate is provided at the rear end of the toilet body, and the flushing rod assembly includes a spray rod for spraying the disinfectant water. The flushing rod assembly is disposed on the mounting plate, and the spray rod is connected to the mounting plate in a relatively movable relationship, so that the spray rod can move forward of the toilet body to a water spraying position or move backward of the toilet body to a storage position.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting up a sterilization component and connecting it to the water inlet, the invention mixes sterilizing gas with water to form sterilizing water. This not only kills bacteria in tap water, preventing users of the flushing device from getting sick, but also eliminates bacteria in the areas covered by the sterilizing water. In other words, it eliminates bacteria in the area being flushed, as well as bacteria that were originally present in the area being flushed, thus achieving a sterilization and disinfection effect on the area being flushed.

[0022] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, primarily used to illustrate the embodiments and to explain the operating principles of the embodiments in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0023] This invention discloses a sterilizing flushing device and a toilet equipped with the same device. The toilet can be a seated toilet, a squat toilet, or a urinal. (See attached image.) Figures 1 to 4 As shown, taking a toilet as an example, the toilet includes a toilet body 1, and a mounting plate 2 is provided at the rear end of the toilet body 1. A sterilization and flushing device is mounted on the mounting plate 2. The toilet body 1 includes a sewage discharge chamber 11 at the front and a mounting chamber 12 at the rear. The mounting plate 2 is disposed in the mounting chamber 12, and an electronic control device is also provided on the mounting plate 2 to control the sterilization and flushing device electronically. In this field, the toilet with the flushing device and electronic control device is referred to as a "smart toilet." Smart toilets are existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] The sterilization and rinsing device includes a water inlet path 3, a rinsing rod assembly 4, and a sterilization component (only the air pipe 51 of the sterilization component is shown in the figure). The water inlet path 3 includes an inlet end 301 and an outlet end 302. The inlet end 301 is used to connect to the tap water network. In this embodiment, the inlet end 301 is equipped with an inlet connector. The user uses an external water pipe to connect this inlet connector to the tap water valve in the bathroom to supply water to the sterilization and rinsing device. The outlet end 302 is connected to the rinsing rod assembly 4. The rinsing rod assembly 4 includes a spray rod 41 and a mounting rod 42. The mounting rod 42 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 2. The spray rod 41 is slidably mounted on the mounting rod 42 and can slide along the extension direction of the mounting rod 42, so that the spray rod 41 and the mounting plate 2 form a relatively movable connection relationship. The spray bar 41 can move forward to the spray position or backward to the storage position. When the spray bar 41 is moved to the spray position, it is used to spray water outward to wash the human body or other areas to be washed, such as the sewage chamber. When the spray bar 41 is moved to the storage position, it is used to store the toilet on the mounting plate 2, making the toilet more aesthetically pleasing.

[0025] The rear end of the spray bar 41 is connected to the outlet end 302 of the water inlet channel 3. The front end of the spray bar 41 is provided with at least one spray outlet 411, so that the flushing water is sprayed out from the corresponding spray outlet 411 to flush the human body or the toilet drain chamber.

[0026] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the sterilization component includes an air pipe 51 connected to the water inlet channel 3 for supplying sterilizing gas to the water inlet channel 3. The sterilizing gas mixes with water to form sterilizing water, which is then supplied to the spray bar 41 of the flushing bar assembly 4 through the water outlet 302. The spray outlet 411 of the spray bar 41 sprays out the sterilizing water from the water inlet channel 3. The sterilizing water is water with sterilization function and is used to sterilize the parts being flushed. The parts being flushed are determined by the spray position of the spray bar 41. For a spray bar 41 used only for flushing the human body, the parts being flushed are the human body. For a spray bar 41 used for flushing both the human body and the sewage chamber 11 of the toilet body 1, the parts being flushed are both the human body and the sewage chamber 11. Including the sewage chamber 11 in the flushing range allows for sterilization of the sewage chamber 11, reducing the bacteria present in the sewage chamber.

[0027] By setting up a sterilization component and connecting it to the water inlet 3, sterilization gas is mixed with water to form sterilization water. This not only kills bacteria in tap water, preventing users of the flushing device from getting sick, but also eliminates bacteria in the areas covered by the sterilization water. In other words, it eliminates bacteria in the area being flushed, as well as bacteria that were originally present in the area being flushed, thus achieving the effect of sterilization and disinfection of the area being flushed.

[0028] The water inlet channel 3 and the air pipe 51 are connected by a tee 6, which includes a main channel 61 and a secondary channel 62. The main channel 61 extends in a straight line, and the secondary channel 62 forms an angle with the main channel 61. The main channel 61 is connected to the water inlet channel 3, forming part of the water inlet channel 3, and the secondary channel 62 is connected to the air pipe 51. Thus, the bactericidal gas flows into the water inlet channel 3 through the secondary channel 62 by means of the suction force of the water flow in the main channel 61. Setting the main channel 61 to extend in a straight line can reduce the energy loss of the water flow in the main channel 61 and maintain the water flow velocity at a high speed. When the water flows through the junction of the main channel 61 and the secondary channel 62, a negative pressure is formed at the secondary channel 62 on the side of the main channel 61, thereby forcing the gas in the air pipe 51 connected to the secondary channel 62 to enter the main channel 61. This further allows the bactericidal gas to enter the water inlet channel 3 and mix with the tap water to form bactericidal water, so that the water sprayed by the spray bar 41 is bactericidal water. The angle between the main channel 61 and the secondary channel 62 is less than or equal to 90°, making the angle between the water flow direction and the airflow direction an acute or right angle. In this embodiment, the angle is acute. An acute angle is beneficial for the airflow to flow smoothly with the water flow, while an obtuse angle would cause greater disturbance to the water flow. The acute angle in this embodiment helps to reduce the disturbance to the water flow caused by the airflow. In other embodiments, the angle between the main channel 61 and the secondary channel 62 can also be 90°, making the angle between the water flow direction and the airflow direction a right angle.

[0029] The water inlet channel 3 includes a first water pipe 31, a second water pipe 32, and a booster pump 33 located between the first water pipe 31 and the second water pipe 32. The first water pipe 31 is connected to the tap water network, and the second water pipe 32 is connected to the booster pump 33 and the spray bar 41 of the flushing rod assembly 4. A tee 6 is located in the second water pipe 32, allowing the sterilizing gas to flow into the second water pipe 32 through the tee 6. The booster pump 33 in the water inlet channel 3 increases the water flow velocity and pressure in the second water pipe 32, thereby creating a greater negative pressure at the secondary channel 62. This strengthens the attraction of the sterilizing gas by the water flow in the water inlet channel 3, increases the amount of sterilizing gas supplied to the water inlet channel, increases the concentration of sterilizing gas in the sterilizing water, and thus enhances the sterilization effect of the sterilizing water.

[0030] When the inlet water pressure is high enough, it is also feasible to install the tee 6 in the first water pipe 31, as long as the sterilizing gas can be drawn into the first water pipe 31 by the negative pressure formed by the water flow. In addition, besides using the negative pressure formed by the water flow to allow the sterilizing gas to enter the inlet water passage 3, an air pump can also be used to supply the sterilizing gas to the inlet water passage 3, that is, using the thrust of positive pressure to allow the sterilizing gas to enter the inlet water passage 3.

[0031] The second water pipe 32 is at least one set, and each set of second water pipes 32 is connected to an air pipe 51 via a T-joint 6. In this embodiment, the second water pipes 32 are one set, so the pressure pump 33 has only one outlet connected to the second water pipe 32. This design simplifies the structure of the sterilization and rinsing device and reduces its failure rate. In other embodiments, the second water pipes 32 can be two or more sets, and the number of second water pipes 32 can be changed accordingly based on the number of water channels required by the spray bar 41. See also Figure 5 As shown, the second water pipe 32 consists of three sets: a feminine wash pipe 321, a posterior wash pipe 322, and a spray bar cleaning pipe 323. A water distribution valve 34 connects the first water pipe 31 and the second water pipe 32, supplying water to one of the three pipes: feminine wash pipe 321, posterior wash pipe 322, or spray bar cleaning pipe 323. An air pump 35 is also provided to pump air into the water flow to increase the gas content in the water. The structure of the flushing rod assembly 4 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] It should be noted that the first water pipe 31 and the second water pipe 32 are not limited to a single water pipe, but rather refer to the water pipes formed by dividing the water inlet channel 3 along the water flow direction to allow a certain section of water to flow through. The water pipe between the inlet end 301 of the water inlet channel 3 and the booster pump 33 or the diverter valve 34 is the first water pipe 31. The water pressure in the first water pipe 31 is relatively low and is related to the water supply pressure of the municipal water supply network. The water pipe between the booster pump 33 or the diverter valve 34 and the outlet end 302 of the water inlet channel 3 is the second water pipe 32. The water pressure in the first water pipe 31 is increased by the booster pump 33, and therefore the water pressure is higher.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bactericidal gas is a gas with bactericidal function. When mixed with water, it forms bactericidal water that can sterilize the water and the areas through which it flows. The bactericidal gas is either ozone or chlorine; in this embodiment, ozone is preferred. The bactericidal assembly also includes a device for supplying the bactericidal gas. In this embodiment, it is an ozone generator 52. Ozone generators are existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The ozone generator is installed in a suitable location according to the structure of the toilet. It can be installed on the mounting plate 2 to form a structure hidden inside the toilet. In this embodiment, it is installed in the mounting cavity 12 of the toilet body 1, specifically below the mounting plate 2.

[0034] The working process of this invention is as follows: When the spray bar 41 needs to dispense water, the spray bar 41 moves forward to a predetermined position, water enters through the water inlet 3, and the water flows through the three-way valve 6 after being pressurized by the pressurizing pump 33. When the water flows through the main channel 61 of the three-way valve 6, a negative pressure is formed in the secondary channel 62, thereby causing the gas in the ozone generator 52 to flow through the air pipe 51 to the main channel 61, where it mixes with the water flow in the main channel 61 to form sterilizing water. The sterilizing water is sprayed out from the spray outlet 411 of the spray bar 41 to the part being rinsed, thereby sterilizing the part being rinsed.

[0035] The sterilization and flushing device in the above embodiment is installed on the toilet. In other embodiments, it may also be installed on the squat toilet or urinal for flushing the human body and / or the toilet body (the squat toilet or urinal body).

[0036] Although the invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the remaining undescribed parts are prior art, and that all changes in form and detail made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims fall within the protection scope of the invention.
