Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathroom fixtures, and more specifically, to a method and system for dual-mode pressurized flushing that is compatible with both siphon and direct flushing. Background Technology

[0002] A booster flush toilet is a toilet that uses a special design or external device to increase flushing pressure. It is suitable for homes with low water pressure, high-rise apartments, or environments with old pipes, and can effectively solve problems such as weak flushing and waste residue. However, existing siphon-type and direct-flush booster flush toilets are incompatible with each other, therefore, they usually require two separate control systems to achieve boosted flushing. This results in high production costs, hindering the large-scale adoption of booster flush toilets. Summary of the Invention

[0056] Please see Figures 1-8 This invention provides a method for dual-mode pressurized flushing that is compatible with both siphon and direct-flush techniques, applicable to situations such as... Figures 2-8 In the prefabricated toilet shown, for ease of understanding, the present invention uses... Figures 2-8 The following explanation is based on the example of a prefabricated toilet, which includes the following steps:

[0057] Step S101: Obtain a prefabricated toilet, wherein the prefabricated toilet includes a toilet seat, a first water tank deformably housed in the toilet seat, and a toilet flushing mechanism, the toilet flushing mechanism connecting the first water tank and the toilet seat; the toilet seat includes a flushing outlet for flushing the toilet and a flushing inlet connected to the flushing outlet; the toilet flushing mechanism includes a booster pump fixed on the first water tank, a first braided hose, and a direct-flush braided hose, the booster pump includes a pump inlet and a pump outlet, the pump inlet is connected to one end of the first braided hose, the other end of the first braided hose is connected to the first water tank, the pump outlet is connected to one end of the direct-flush braided hose, and the other end of the direct-flush braided hose is connected to the flushing inlet.

[0058] For example, such as Figures 2-8 As shown, the prefabricated toilet includes a toilet seat 50, a first water tank 10 deformably housed in the toilet seat 50, and a toilet flushing mechanism 90, which connects the first water tank 10 and the toilet seat 50.

[0059] The toilet seat 50 includes a flushing outlet 5065 for flushing water into the prefabricated toilet and a flushing inlet 5063 connected to the flushing outlet 5065; the toilet flushing mechanism 90 includes a booster pump 901 fixed on the first water tank 10, a first braided hose 907 and a direct-flush braided hose. The booster pump 901 includes a pump inlet 9011 and a pump outlet 9013. The pump inlet 9011 is connected to one end of the first braided hose 907, and the other end of the first braided hose 907 is connected to the first water tank 10. The pump outlet 9013 is connected to one end of the direct-flush braided hose, and the other end of the direct-flush braided hose is connected to the flushing inlet 5063.

[0060] The toilet seat 50 also includes a sewage discharge mechanism 505 for discharging sewage, a front wall 502 located at the front of the toilet seat 50, a rear wall 504 located at the rear of the toilet seat 50, a first side wall 506 for connecting the front wall 502 and the rear wall 504, and a second side wall 508 for connecting the front wall 502 and the rear wall 504 and disposed opposite to the first side wall 506; the sewage discharge mechanism 505 includes a toilet bowl 5051, a sewage discharge pipe 5053 communicating with the toilet bowl 5051, and a drain hole 5055 located at the bottom of the toilet bowl 5051 and communicating with the sewage discharge pipe 5053; a flushing outlet 5065 is located on the upper inner side of the first side wall 506, and a flushing inlet 5063 is located on the upper outer side of the first side wall 506 and adjacent to the rear wall 504.

[0061] Optionally, the flushing outlet 5065 flushes the inner pot surface of the toilet bowl 5051 in a vortex flushing manner.

[0062] The prefabricated toilet also includes a second water tank 30 connected to the first water tank 10 for water inlet and disposed near the rear wall 504 of the toilet seat 50, wherein the first water tank 10 is a deformable flexible water tank made of thermoplastic elastomer and the second water tank 30 is a hard water tank.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first water tank 10 is a deformable flexible water tank made of thermoplastic elastomer material. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE or TPR) is a type of polymer material that combines the elasticity of rubber with the processing properties of plastics. Compared to ordinary plastics, it has stronger plasticity, thus effectively addressing various adverse factors encountered during installation in prefabricated toilets. Specifically, the first water tank 10 is made of soft TPE material with a hardness of up to 75 degrees. It is worth noting that for TPE materials, hardness is the material's ability to resist external forces penetrating its surface; it is one of its important mechanical property indicators, usually expressed using Shore hardness, ranging from the very soft Shore A hardness of 20 to the very hard Shore D hardness of 75.

[0064] For example, the first water tank 10 includes an abutment portion 100 adjacent to the second water tank 30, a bottom 102 for supporting the first water tank 10, a front portion 108 adapted to the front wall 502, a first side portion 107 near the first side wall 506, a second side portion 109 near the second side wall 508, a flushing portion 104 communicating with the toilet flushing mechanism 90 and near the rear wall 504, and a fixing portion 106 located outside the bottom 102 for fixing the first water tank 10 to the toilet seat 50, wherein the bottom 102, the front portion 108, the first side portion 107, the second side portion 109, the flushing portion 104, the abutment portion 100, and the fixing portion 106 are integrally formed.

[0065] In some embodiments, the flushing section 104 has an "L" shaped cross section, which includes a vertical section 1041 and a horizontal section 1043. The horizontal section 1043 has at least one pump mounting hole 1040 for fixing the toilet flushing mechanism 90 on the inner side of one end near the rear wall 504. The booster pump 901 is fixed to the horizontal section 1043 of the first water tank 10 by a screw passing through the pump mounting hole 1040.

[0066] The toilet seat 50 has a first groove 5061 at the bottom of its first sidewall 506 and a second groove 5081 at the bottom of its second sidewall 508. Both the first groove 5061 and the second groove 5081 have at least one mounting hole 5000. The fixing part 106 includes a first fixing member 1061 adapted to the first groove 5061 and a second fixing member 1063 adapted to the second groove 5081. The first fixing member 1061 and the second fixing member 1063 have through holes 1060 adapted to the mounting holes 5000. The first water tank 10 and the toilet seat 50 are fixed together by screws passing through the through holes 1060 and the mounting holes 5000.

[0067] To ensure a more secure installation of the first water tank 10 and the toilet seat 50, the toilet also includes a fixing plate 70 located on the outside of the bottom 102 of the first water tank 10 and adapted to the first fixing member 1061 and the second fixing member 1063. The fixing plate 70 has a through hole 7000 adapted to the through hole 1060 and the mounting hole 5000, so that the fixing plate 70, the first water tank 10, and the toilet seat 50 can be fixed together by screws passing through the through hole 7000, the through hole 1060, and the mounting hole 5000.

[0068] Step S103: Configure the flushing mode of the prefabricated toilet to a preset direct flushing mode, wherein the preset direct flushing mode is to flush the prefabricated toilet using the flushing outlet.

[0069] For example, the bottom 102, flushing part 104, front part 108, first side part 107, second side part 109, flushing part 104, and abutment part 100 of the first water tank 10 are connected to each other to form a deformable water holding device, so that water can flow from the second water tank 30 into the water holding device and then through the first braided tube 907, the booster water pump 901, the direct flushing braided tube, the flushing inlet 5063, and the flushing outlet 5065 to flush the toilet bowl 5051.

[0070] In some implementations, before configuring the flushing mode of the prefabricated toilet to a preset direct flushing mode, the following steps are included:

[0071] Obtain the preset direct flush volume information;

[0072] The direct flushing duty cycle of the booster pump is determined based on the preset direct flushing water volume information to form a preset direct flushing mode.

[0073] In some implementations, the preset direct flushing mode includes a high-volume direct flushing mode and a low-volume direct flushing mode. The preset direct flushing volume information includes high-volume direct flushing volume information and low-volume direct flushing volume information. Determining the direct flushing duty cycle of the booster pump based on the preset direct flushing volume information to form the preset direct flushing mode includes the following steps:

[0074] Based on the information on the direct-fall large flush volume and / or direct-fall small flush volume, the corresponding direct-fall duty cycle of the booster pump is determined to form the direct-fall large flush mode and / or direct-fall small flush mode.

[0075] In some implementations, the direct-flow duty cycle of the booster pump is determined based on the water flow rate, the booster pump head, and the booster pump power.

[0076] Specifically, confirming the direct-flush duty cycle of the booster pump includes the following steps:

[0077] Obtain the rated flow rate of the booster pump;

[0078] The theoretical direct flushing duty cycle of the booster pump is calculated based on the preset direct flushing water volume information obtained from the direct flushing.

[0079] The theoretical direct-fire duty cycle is corrected using interpolation or fitting methods, and the direct-fire duty cycle is optimized.

[0080] In some implementations, the preset direct flush water volume information includes the direct flush water volume, which is determined based on relevant technical standards, toilet water efficiency ratings, or custom settings.

[0081] For example, the preset flush volume for the large flush mode is 6L / 2.6s; the preset flush volume for the small flush mode is 4L / 1.6s.

[0082] In some implementations, to improve user convenience, the program corresponding to the preset direct flushing mode in the method of dual-mode pressurized flushing compatible with siphon and direct flushing of this invention can be separately burned and solidified into the prefabricated toilet. In this way, a direct flush pressurized flushing toilet can be directly obtained. That is, after configuring the flushing mode of the prefabricated toilet to the preset direct flushing mode, the following steps are included:

[0083] A preset direct flushing pattern is solidified in a prefabricated toilet to obtain a direct flushing pressurized flushing toilet.

[0084] Step S105: Add a bottom flushing component for flushing water into the sewage pipe to the toilet flushing mechanism of the prefabricated toilet, and configure the flushing mode of the prefabricated toilet after adding the bottom flushing component to a preset siphon flushing mode, wherein the preset siphon flushing mode is to use the flushing outlet and the bottom flushing component to flush the prefabricated toilet.

[0085] For example, the bottom flushing component 905 includes a water distributor 9050, a second braided tube 903, a third braided tube 9053, and a fourth braided tube 9056 connected to the booster pump 901. The flushing inlet 5063 is connected to the pump outlet 9013 through the third braided tube 9053, the water distributor 9050, and the second braided tube 903. The bottom flushing component 905 is connected to the water distributor 9050 through the fourth braided tube 9056.

[0086] The toilet seat 50 also includes a bottom flushing mounting hole 5057, which passes through the drain pipe 5053 and is located near the connection between the drain hole 5055 and the drain pipe 5053. The bottom flushing component 905 also includes a bottom flushing member 9058 fixed to the bottom flushing mounting hole 5057, and the bottom flushing member 9058 is connected to the water distributor 9050 through a fourth braided tube 9056.

[0087] The water distributor 9050 is a three-way pipe, which includes a water distribution inlet 9052, a first water distribution outlet 9051, and a second water distribution outlet 9054. One end of the second braided pipe 903 is connected to the pump outlet 9013 of the booster pump 901, and the other end of the second braided pipe 903 is connected to the water distribution inlet 9052. One end of the third braided pipe 9053 is connected to the flushing inlet 5063, and the other end of the third braided pipe 9053 is connected to the first water distribution outlet 9051. One end of the fourth braided pipe 9056 is connected to the bottom flushing component 9058, and the other end of the fourth braided pipe 9056 is connected to the second water distribution outlet 9054. In this way, the water from the first water tank 10 passes through the first braided pipe 907, the booster pump 901, and the second braided pipe 903 and enters the water distributor 9050, where it is divided into two. One path goes through the flushing inlet 5063 and the flushing outlet 5065 to flush the toilet bowl 5051; the other path goes through the fourth braided pipe 9056 and the bottom flushing component 9058 to flush the sewage pipe 5053 of the toilet bowl 5051. This allows the prefabricated toilet to achieve dual flushing, i.e., siphon flushing, through the flushing outlet 5065 and the bottom flushing component 9058.

[0088] It is worth noting that the direct-flush braided tube and the second braided tube 903 are structurally identical. The only difference is that during direct-flush flushing, one end of the direct-flush braided tube connects to the pump outlet 9013, and the other end connects to the flushing inlet 5063; while during siphon flushing, one end of the second braided tube 903 connects to the pump outlet 9013, and the other end connects to the water distribution inlet 9052. In other words, the only difference is that the connection at the other end needs to be selected based on the specific scenario, either connecting to the flushing inlet 5063 or the water distribution inlet 9052. Therefore, to save costs, they can be reused, meaning the direct-flush braided tube can also be the second braided tube 903. This way, when adding the bottom flushing component 905, the connection method at the other end of the direct-flush braided tube can be directly adjusted, saving both cost and resources. Therefore, adding a bottom flushing component for flushing the sewage pipe to the toilet flushing mechanism of a prefabricated toilet includes the following steps:

[0089] Keep the pump outlet connected to one end of the straight-flush braided hose, and adjust the connection between the other end of the straight-flush braided hose and the flushing inlet to connect the other end of the straight-flush braided hose to the water distribution inlet.

[0090] In some implementations, before configuring the flushing mode of the prefabricated toilet with the added bottom flushing component to a preset siphon flushing mode, the following steps are included:

[0091] Obtain the preset siphon flush volume information;

[0092] The siphon duty cycle of the booster pump is determined based on the preset siphon flushing volume information to form the preset siphon flushing mode.

[0093] In some implementations, the siphon duty cycle of the booster pump is determined based on the water flow rate, booster pump head, and booster pump power.

[0094] Specifically, confirming the siphon duty cycle of the booster pump includes the following steps:

[0095] Obtain the rated flow rate of the booster pump;

[0096] The theoretical siphon duty cycle of the booster pump is calculated based on the preset siphon flushing volume information obtained from the siphon flushing.

[0097] The theoretical siphon duty cycle is corrected using interpolation or fitting methods, and the siphon duty cycle is optimized to obtain the correct value.

[0098] In some implementations, the preset siphon flushing volume information includes the siphon flushing volume, which is determined based on relevant technical standards, toilet water efficiency ratings, or custom settings.

[0099] For example, the preset siphon flushing volume is 5L / 12s.

[0100] As mentioned above, for user convenience, the program corresponding to the preset siphon flushing mode in the method of dual-mode pressurized flushing compatible with siphon and direct flushing in this embodiment of the invention can be separately burned and solidified into the prefabricated toilet. In this way, a siphon pressurized flushing toilet can be directly obtained. That is, after configuring the flushing mode of the prefabricated toilet with the added bottom flushing component to the preset siphon flushing mode, the following steps are included:

[0101] A preset siphon flushing pattern is solidified in a prefabricated toilet to obtain a siphon-type pressurized flushing toilet.

[0102] In some embodiments, when adding a bottom flushing component 905 for flushing water to the drain pipe 5053 to the toilet flushing mechanism 90 of the prefabricated toilet, considering that the water path of the fourth braided tube 9056 is relatively long, in order to further save space, the first side 107 of the first water tank 10 is provided with a groove 1071 adapted to the fourth braided tube 9056. In this way, the fourth braided tube 9056 can be wrapped in the groove 1071, which not only saves space inside the toilet seat 50, but also improves the stability of the first water tank 10.
