[0002] Toilets must be tested before leaving the factory, and only those that pass the test can be disassembled, packaged, and shipped. The test includes a flush test, in which water is poured into the toilet tank. However, at the beginning of the design of the water tank, in order to facilitate the subsequent pipe connection of the water outlet structure at the bottom with the valve, the water outlet structure on the water tank usually has bends. The existence of the bend will easily cause water to accumulate in the corners of the water outlet structure, and the water will be retained in the pipes of the water outlet structure, resulting in the water in the water tank being unable to be completely discharged. If the water in the water tank cannot be completely discharged after the test, there will be residual water inside the water tank, resulting in the risk of residual water splashing out during transportation of the toilet. Therefore, existing toilet water tanks have the problem of residual water being unable to be completely discharged. Utility Model Content

[0026] The water tank and toilet provided by the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] This application provides a water tank. Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the water tank structure from the first perspective for this application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the water tank structure explosion; Figure 3Schematic diagram of the water tank of the present application from a second perspective. In some embodiments, the water tank 100 includes a housing 10 and a drainage member 20 .
[0028] The shell 10 has a drain outlet 11. The drain component 20 is detachably arranged on the drain outlet 11. Specifically, the shell 10 has an internal space, and 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. Among them, the drain outlet 11 is used to empty the accumulated water in the shell 10. In this embodiment, the drain outlet 11 is preferably arranged on the bottom surface of the shell 10 so that the drain outlet 11 can empty the accumulated water in the shell 10. In some embodiments, the drain outlet 11 can also be arranged on the side wall of the shell 10. In addition, the drain outlet 11 can be fixed to the shell 10 by means of a threaded structure, welding, etc. In some embodiments, the drain outlet 11 and the shell 10 can also be an integrally formed structure. For example, the shell 10 with the drain outlet 11 is manufactured by one-time demolding. The drain component 20 is used to control the water in the shell 10 to be discharged from the drain outlet 11. When the water in the shell 10 needs to be drained, the drain member 20 can be removed from the drain outlet 11. When the water tank 100 is in normal use, the drain member 20 can be set on the drain outlet 11 to prevent the water in the shell 10 from flowing out of the drain outlet 11.
[0029] Unlike the prior art, the housing 10 of the water tank 100 of the present application has a drain port 11 on which a drain member 20 is detachably mounted. The drain port 11 is used to completely drain the water within the housing 10. This arrangement facilitates the removal of the drain member 20 after a toilet flush test, allowing the water within the water tank 100 to be completely drained through the drain port 11, preventing residual water from splashing out and damaging the packaging during transportation.
[0030] The housing 10 has one or more drain ports 11 , which are not specifically limited.
[0031] In some embodiments, the housing 10 further comprises a water outlet 12. The water tank 100 further comprises a filter device 30. The filter device 30 is provided corresponding to the water outlet 12, and the water in the water tank 100 flows through the filter device 30 and out of the water outlet 12. Specifically, the water outlet 12 is used to connect to a water pump 70 so that water is pumped out of the water outlet 12 of the housing 10 by the water pump 70 during flushing or cleaning. The water outlet 12 can be provided on the sidewall or bottom surface of the housing 10, without specific limitation. Existing toilets lack a filtering function in the water tank 100. Long-term storage of water can easily lead to the accumulation of scale and the generation of particulate impurities. Scale entering the rear-end water pump 70 and other components can easily cause a low flow rate or even blockage. By providing the filter device 30, water is filtered by the filter device 30 before flowing out of the water outlet 12 to the external water pump 70, thus preventing blockage of the water pump 70.
[0032] Furthermore, the filter device 30 is any one of an adsorption filter device 30 and a mechanical filter device 30. Specifically, the adsorption filter device 30 may include an activated carbon adsorption filter, a diatomaceous earth adsorption filter, a ceramic filter element adsorption filter, etc. The mechanical filter device 30 may include a filter screen, a sand filter, etc. In this embodiment, the filter device 30 is a filter screen.
[0033] Furthermore, the drain member 20 is detachably connected to the drain outlet 11 through any one of a threaded structure, a flange structure, and a magnetic structure. Specifically, the specific method of detachable connection is not limited. In this embodiment, the drain member 20 is a drain plug, which is detachably arranged in the drain outlet 11 through a threaded structure. The drain plug is provided with an external thread, and the drain outlet 11 is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread. The drain plug can be fixed to the drain outlet 11 through the thread to prevent water from flowing out of the drain outlet 11. When the water in the water tank 100 needs to be drained, the drain plug can be screwed off the drain outlet 11 so that the water in the water tank 100 can be drained from the drain outlet 11.
[0034] In some embodiments, the drain port 11 is formed by extending the shell wall of the shell 10 to the outside of the shell 10. The water outlet 12 is formed by extending the side wall of the drain port 11 to the outside of the drain port 11. Specifically, in the above structure, the drain port 11 is integrally formed on the shell 10, and the water outlet 12 is integrally formed on the drain port 11. The water tank 100 has fewer connecting structures, the water tank 100 is less likely to leak, and the water tank 100 has better structural stability. On the other hand, the water outlet 12 is formed on the side wall of the drain port 11, which can reduce the number of openings on the shell 10 and facilitate maintenance. When the water outlet 12 is blocked, the drainage component 20 of the drain port 11 can be removed, and the cause of the blockage of the water outlet 12 can be inspected from the drain port 11.
[0035] In some embodiments, the filter screen is sleeve-shaped and is arranged at one end of the drain plug. When the drain plug is arranged in the drain outlet 11, the mesh wall of the filter screen covers the side wall of the drain outlet 11 to form the area of the water outlet 12. Specifically, the above arrangement facilitates the removal of the filter screen. When the filter screen needs to be repaired, the filter screen can be removed together with the drain plug. Among them, the filter screen can be fixed to one end of the drain plug by welding, gluing, etc. In other embodiments, the filter screen and the drain plug can also be an integrally formed structure, and the drain plug and the filter screen can be produced by demolding at one time, so that the structural stability of the two is better.
[0036] In some embodiments, the water tank 100 further includes one or more seals 80 disposed on the filter screen to prevent water from entering the gap between the filter screen and the drain outlet 11. Specifically, the seals 80 may be rubber seals 80, asbestos seals 80, PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) seals 80, etc., and the type of seal 80 is not specifically limited. In this embodiment, the seals 80 are two silicone rings. The two silicone rings are disposed at either end of the sleeve-shaped filter screen. The silicone ring on the end closer to the housing 10 prevents impurities from entering the gap between the filter screen and the drain outlet 11 without passing through the filter screen, thereby preventing clogging. The silicone ring on the end farther from the housing 10 prevents water from overflowing the housing 10, thereby preventing water leakage. In other embodiments, the number of seals 80 may be one, three, four, or any other reasonable number, without specific limitation.
[0037] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a housing body 14 and a housing cover 13 located above the housing body 14. The housing body 14 has an opening at the top, and the housing cover 13 is used to seal the opening of the housing body 14. The housing cover 13 is provided with a water inlet cover 15, which is provided with a water inlet that can be connected to a water injection device.
[0038] In some embodiments, a water level sensor 60 is further provided within the housing 10 to monitor and control the water level within the water tank 100. When the water level within the water tank 100 rises to a preset height, the water level sensor 60 sends a signal to the control device, which stops filling the water tank 100. When the water level within the water tank 100 drops, the water level sensor 60 senses the drop in water level and triggers the control device to restart the filling process.
[0039] In some embodiments, the water tank 100 further includes a water pump 70 , which is connected to the water outlet 12 of the housing 10 . The water pump 70 is used to connect to the flush port of the toilet so that the water in the water tank 100 can be pumped out through the flush port of the toilet.
[0040] Different from the prior art, the present application provides a water tank 100, the shell 10 of which has a drain port 11, and a drain member 20 is detachably provided on the drain port 11. The drain port 11 is used to completely drain the water in the shell 10. Through the above arrangement, it is convenient to remove the drain member 20 after the toilet flush test, so that the water in the water tank 100 can be completely drained from the drain port 11, preventing residual water from splashing and damaging the packaging during transportation. On the other hand, by providing a filter device 30 at the water outlet 12, the water is filtered by the filter device 30 and then flows out of the water outlet 12 to the external water pump 70, which can avoid clogging of the water pump 70 and subsequent equipment.
[0041] Correspondingly, the present application also provides a toilet comprising a water tank and a toilet chamber. The water tank is the water tank of the aforementioned embodiment. A flush spout is connected to the water tank, specifically connected to the water outlet of the water tank, so that water in the water tank is flushed out through the flush spout when the toilet is flushed or cleaned.
[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent principle transformation made using the contents of the description and drawings of this application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
