[0023] When water enters the existing toilet, the water hits the bottom of the water tank and generates a large noise.

[0024] Based on the above problems, the present application proposes a water tank and a toilet, which can effectively solve the above problems by providing a buffer portion in the shell of the water tank.

[0025] A water tank and a toilet provided by the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] This application provides a water tank. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a water tank of the present application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the water tank. In some embodiments, the water tank 100 includes a housing 10 and a buffer portion 130 .

[0027] The shell 10 is formed with a water storage chamber 110, and a water inlet 120 is provided at the top of the shell 10. The buffer portion 130 is located in the water storage chamber 110, and is arranged corresponding to the water inlet 120, so that the water injected from the water inlet 120 first falls into the buffer portion 130 and then flows to the bottom of the water storage chamber 110. Specifically, the shell 10 is used to store tap water for functions such as flushing and cleaning of the toilet. Among them, the outer shape of the shell 10 can be any reasonable shape such as a rectangular body, a cylindrical body, an irregular polygon, etc. The water inlet 120 can be provided on the top surface or the upper part of the side wall of the shell 10, and the specific position of the water inlet 120 is not limited. The water inlet 120 is used to connect to a water supply device such as a tap water pipe, so that water can be injected into the water storage chamber 110 of the water tank 100 through the water inlet 120. Among them, Figure 1 The dotted arrow in the middle indicates the flow direction of water inside the water storage chamber 110. The water injected from the water inlet 120 first falls on the buffer portion 130, and then flows from the buffer portion 130 to the bottom of the water storage chamber 110. This avoids the problem of water directly falling on the bottom of the water storage chamber 110, which causes noise due to the large height difference.

[0028] Different from the prior art, the present application provides a water tank 100, in which a buffer portion 130 is provided in the water storage chamber 110. Water injected from the water inlet 120 of the shell 10 will first fall into the buffer portion 130 and then flow to the bottom of the water storage chamber 110, thereby avoiding the problem of water falling directly to the bottom of the water storage chamber 110 and generating noise due to a large height difference.

[0029] In some embodiments, the buffer portion 130 includes a first buffer surface 140 facing the water inlet 120. Specifically, the first buffer surface 140 is located in the water storage chamber 110. By setting the first buffer surface 140, the water injected from the water inlet 120 first falls on the first buffer surface 140, and then flows from the first buffer surface 140 to the bottom of the water storage chamber 110, thereby avoiding the problem of water directly falling on the bottom of the water storage chamber 110 and generating noise due to a large height difference. In other embodiments, the buffer portion 130 can also be a sound-absorbing structure or a slow-down structure disposed inside the water storage chamber 110, such as a sponge block, a honeycomb filter, etc. disposed inside the water storage chamber 110.

[0030] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the buffer portion 130 includes a first buffer surface 140 facing the water inlet 120, and the first buffer surface 140 is set at an angle with the horizontal plane. For example, the angle between the first buffer surface 140 and the horizontal plane can be any reasonable value such as 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees, etc. The first buffer surface 140 is designed to be at an angle so as to reduce the impact force of water falling thereon, thereby reducing the noise of water falling on the first buffer surface 140.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first buffer surface 140 includes a first buffer section 141 and a second buffer section 142 connected to the first buffer section 141. The first buffer section 141 is arranged corresponding to the water inlet 120, the first buffer section 141 is arranged at an angle with the horizontal plane, and the second buffer section 142 is arranged at an angle of 0 with the horizontal plane. Specifically, the first buffer surface 140 is arranged in multiple sections, wherein the first buffer section 141 is arranged at an angle with the horizontal plane, the first buffer section 141 is used to reduce the impact force of the water flow and reduce the noise of water falling thereon, the second buffer section 142 is arranged at an angle of 0 with the horizontal plane, when the water flow flows through the second buffer section 142, the component velocity of the water flow in the vertical direction reaches 0, thereby reducing the impact force of the water flow when it falls to the bottom of the buffer part 130, and effectively reducing the noise when the water tank 100 is filled with water.

[0032] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first buffer section 141 is connected to the second buffer section 142 with rounded corners. The rounded corner connection makes the connection between the first buffer section 141 and the second buffer section 142 smoother, can guide the flow of water, and avoid the generation of large impact noise when the water flows through the connection between the first buffer section 141 and the second buffer section 142.

[0033] Furthermore, the first buffer surface 140 is a plane and / or a curved surface. In some embodiments, the first buffer surface 140 is a curved surface, and as the water flows along the first buffer surface 140, the angle between the first buffer surface 140 and the horizontal plane gradually decreases. Specifically, the first buffer surface 140 has the largest angle at one end corresponding to the water inlet 120, so that when the water falls on the first buffer surface 140, the impact force of the water can be reduced through large-angle contact. Along the flow of the water, the angle between the first buffer surface 140 and the horizontal plane gradually decreases, so that when the water flows on the first buffer surface 140, the water component velocity in the vertical direction gradually decreases, and finally falls to the bottom of the accommodating cavity with a smaller component velocity in the vertical direction, effectively reducing noise.

[0034] The number of the first buffer surfaces 140 is one or more. In some embodiments, the number of the first buffer surfaces 140 is multiple, such as 2, 3, or any other reasonable number. When the number of the first buffer surfaces 140 is multiple, the first buffer surfaces 140 can be arranged at intervals in the vertical direction and staggered in the vertical direction. The process of water falling from the water inlet 120 of the housing 10 to the bottom of the water storage chamber 110 flows through each first buffer surface 140 in sequence to improve the effect of reducing noise.

[0035] In some preferred embodiments, a buffer sponge is further provided on the surface of the first buffer surface 140 to further reduce the noise generated by the impact of water falling on the first buffer surface 140 .

[0036] Further, in the present embodiment, the water storage chamber 110 includes a first water storage chamber 112 and a second water storage chamber 111, wherein the second water storage chamber 111 is located below the first water storage chamber 112 and is staggered and connected in the vertical direction; wherein the bottom surface of the first water storage chamber 112 is connected to the side wall of the second water storage chamber 111, and the bottom surface of the first water storage chamber 112 is a first buffer surface 140. Specifically, the bottom side of the first water storage chamber 112 is connected to the top side of the second water storage chamber 111, and the bottom of the first water storage chamber 112 forms the first buffer surface 140, wherein the water inlet 120 is located on the side of the bottom of the first water storage chamber 112 away from the second water storage chamber 111. The above-mentioned design that the first water storage chamber 112 and the second water storage chamber 111 are staggered and connected to form the first buffer surface 140 at the bottom of the first water storage chamber 112 makes it unnecessary to set the first buffer surface 140 separately, reduces the cost of the water tank 100, and improves the structural stability of the water tank 100.

[0037] In some other embodiments, the buffer portion 130 is a buffer plate (not shown), which is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the water storage chamber 110. Specifically, the buffer plate has a first buffer surface 140 facing the water inlet 120. In this embodiment, a buffer plate is disposed in the water storage chamber 110 to form the first buffer surface 140. Compared with the above embodiment, this embodiment does not need to change the shape of the housing 10 and the water storage chamber 110, and the appearance of the water tank 100 is better. The buffer plate can be integrally formed with the inner side wall of the housing 10, or the buffer plate can be fixed to the inner side wall of the housing 10 by welding or the like.

[0038] In some embodiments, the buffer portion 130 further includes one or more second buffer surfaces 160, and the second buffer surface 160 is arranged corresponding to the first buffer surface 140, and the water flowing down from the first buffer surface 140 falls to the second buffer surface 160. Specifically, the second buffer surface 160 may include any reasonable number such as 1, 2, etc. When the number of the second buffer surfaces 160 is multiple, each second buffer surface 160 is spaced and staggered in the vertical direction, so that the water flows through each second buffer surface 160 in sequence. In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the water storage chamber 110 has a second buffer surface 160, and the second buffer surface 160 at the bottom of the water storage chamber 110 is arranged at an angle with the horizontal plane to reduce the impact force of water and improve the effect of reducing noise.

[0039] In some embodiments, a water level sensor 150 is further provided in the housing 10, and the water level in the water tank 100 is monitored and controlled by providing the water level sensor 150. When the water level in the water tank 100 rises to a preset height, the water level sensor 150 sends a signal to the control device, and the control device stops filling water into the water tank 100; when the water level in the water tank 100 drops, the water level sensor 150 senses the drop in the water level and triggers the control device to restart the water filling process.

[0040] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a housing body 11 and a housing cover 12 located on the upper portion of the housing body 11. The upper portion of the housing body 11 is open, and the housing cover 12 is used to seal the opening of the housing body 11. A water inlet cover plate 13 is provided on the housing cover 12, and a water inlet port 120 is provided on the water inlet cover plate 13, and the water inlet port 120 can be connected to a water injection device.

[0041] Different from the prior art, the present application provides a water tank 100, in which a buffer portion 130 is provided in the water storage chamber 110. Water injected from the water inlet 120 of the shell 10 will first fall into the buffer portion 130 and then flow to the bottom of the water storage chamber 110, thereby avoiding the problem of water falling directly to the bottom of the water storage chamber 110 and generating noise due to a large height difference.

[0042] Correspondingly, the present application also proposes a toilet, which includes a water tank and a toilet chamber. The water tank is the water tank of the above embodiment. The toilet chamber has a flushing port, which is connected to the water tank so that when the toilet is flushed or cleaned, water in the water tank is flushed out from the flushing port.
