Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bathrooms, in particular to a water inlet pipe assembly and a toilet. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a water inlet pipe for supplying water to the water tank needs to be provided in the water tank of the toilet. The water inlet pipe in the prior art has the following disadvantages:

[0003] The water inlet pipe design in the existing technology does not fully consider the space utilization inside the water tank, resulting in the water inlet pipe occupying unnecessary space inside the water tank. This design not only affects the layout of other components inside the water tank, but may also limit the maximization of the water tank capacity and reduce the space utilization efficiency.

[0004] Existing water inlet pipes typically only have a single water supply function and lack the ability to adapt to different usage environments. For example, if a user wants to install a component with other functions on the water inlet pipe, additional installation is required. Once the component has been installed, the water inlet pipe cannot simply be converted to a traditional water inlet pipe. The installation of the water inlet pipe is usually fixed, making it difficult for users to adjust it according to actual needs.

[0005] In addition, toilets in the prior art usually add an automatic flushing module to achieve the automatic flushing function. A motor or an air pump is used as the power source (such as CN201810880207.0 and CN201520260220.8), but there are the following inevitable problems:

[0006] The wired solution requires pulling a power cord from the outside into the water tank, which is not only unsightly, but also difficult to install and has poor compatibility. The wireless solution uses batteries for power, which need to be replaced frequently, and used batteries will also damage the environment. The power is small, only about 0.03-0.05Kpa. It has poor compatibility and cannot be adapted to all toilets. The air pump is not moisture-proof.

[0007] Therefore, it is urgent to design a water inlet pipe assembly and a toilet to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby stated that any directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inside," and "outside" that appear or will appear in this document are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model discloses a water inlet pipe assembly, which is installed in the water tank of the toilet and is used to install a control module 3 and a hydroelectric generator 4. The water inlet pipe assembly includes a pipe body 1 and a support assembly 2 provided at one end of the pipe body 1;

[0031] The support assembly 2 includes a base ring 21 connected to the pipe body 1, a water outlet 24 for supplying water to the outside, a mounting box 22 and a base 23 provided on the outer wall of the base ring 21, the mounting box 22 is used to install the control module 3, and the base 23 is used to install the hydroelectric generator 4;

[0032] The base 23 is provided with a drain port 231 , which communicates with the base 23 and the interior of the tube body 1 , so that water flows through the base 23 and is discharged into the water tank from the drain port 231 .

[0033] The support assembly 2 of the water inlet pipe assembly of the present invention is connected to the pipe body 1 through the base ring 21, the control module 3 is installed through the installation box 22, and the hydroelectric generator 4 is placed through the base 23. The control module 3 and the hydroelectric generator 4 are integrated at one end of the pipe body 1, with a compact structure and easy installation.

[0034] The base ring 21 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the tube body 1. For example, the base ring 21 is sleeved on the tube body 1, or the inner wall of the base ring 21 and the outer wall of the tube body 1 are provided with mutually compatible threads so as to be connected to each other through threads. The support assembly 2 is detachably connected to the tube body 1, allowing the user to easily disassemble and install, which not only facilitates daily maintenance, but also makes the replacement of components simple and quick. Flexible installation options are provided. When the support assembly 2 is installed on the tube body 1, the control module 3 and the hydroelectric generator 4 can be installed; when the support assembly 2 is not installed on the tube body 1, it can be used as a water inlet pipe in the prior art, which can adapt to a variety of different application scenarios.

[0035] like Figure 3As shown, the mounting box 22 is provided with an output hole 221 and an input hole 222. The output hole 221 communicates with the water outlet 24, and the input hole 222 communicates with the interior of the pipe body 1. The control module 3 is provided with a solenoid valve 31 connected to the output hole 221 and the input hole 222 for regulation by the control module 3. The mounting box 22 provides a stable mounting location for the control module 3. The output hole 221 and the input hole 222 are respectively connected to the water outlet 24 and the interior of the pipe body 1. The control module 3 controls the opening and closing degree of the solenoid valve 31, thereby controlling the water supply flow.

[0036] Taking into account space utilization and the convenience of external connections, the water outlet 24 is located at the connection between the mounting box 22 and the base ring 21, thereby reducing the path required for the output hole 221 to communicate with the water outlet 24. The water outlet 24 is located between the base 23 and the mounting box 22. The water outlet 24 utilizes the space between the base 23 and the mounting box 22 and does not occupy any other space, thus reducing space usage.

[0037] The water outlet 24 extends outward to facilitate external connection, such as using a hose to be sleeved on the water outlet 24 .

[0038] In order to ensure that the hydroelectric generator 4 placed in the base 23 is firmly installed, the inner wall of the base 23 is provided with a plurality of snap-in grooves 232 to firmly snap the hydroelectric generator 4. Preferably, there are four snap-in grooves evenly arranged on the inner wall of the base 23 to ensure that the hydroelectric generator 4 remains stable under the impact of water flow.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the base 23 is provided with an inner opening 233 to communicate with the interior of the tube body 1. The drain port 231 and the inner opening 233 are both provided at the bottom of the side wall of the base 23, which can optimize the flow path of the water flow. If they are provided in the middle or upper part of the side wall of the base 23, water will flow back, which will affect the power generation effect of the hydroelectric generator 4.

[0040] To further reduce the path of water flowing through the base 23, the drain port 231 and the inner opening 233 are preferably circular holes, with the center of the drain port 231 and the center of the inner opening 233 co-located. This allows water to flow through the hydroelectric generator from the inner opening and then be discharged directly from the drain port, minimizing the path of water flow and reducing the impact of water backflow on power generation.

[0041] Preferably, the diameter of the drain port 231 is larger than the diameter of the inner opening 233. The smaller diameter of the inner opening 233 can moderately increase the impact of the water flow on the hydroelectric generator 4, thereby improving power generation efficiency. On the other hand, the larger diameter of the drain port 231 can quickly drain the water that has flowed through the hydroelectric generator 4, further reducing the impact of water backflow on power generation.

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also discloses a toilet, comprising a toilet body 5, a water tank 6, a control module 3, a flushing assembly 7, a hydroelectric generator 4 and the above-mentioned water inlet pipe assembly, wherein the water inlet pipe assembly is arranged in the water tank 6;

[0043] The water tank 6 is provided with a flush valve 61 for flushing water to the toilet body 5. The water outlet 24 of the water inlet pipe assembly is connected to the flush assembly 7, and the flush assembly 7 is used to drive the flush valve 61 to work.

[0044] The control module 3 is arranged in the installation box 22 of the water inlet pipe assembly to regulate the water flow; the hydroelectric generator 4 is arranged in the base 23 of the water inlet pipe assembly to generate electricity through water flow for use by the control module 3.

[0045] A button 62 is provided on the top surface of the water tank 6, and two push rods 621 are provided at the bottom of the button 62. The two push rods 621 abut against the valve on the top of the flush valve 61;

[0046] The flushing assembly 7 is provided on the pushing rod 621. The flushing assembly 7 is provided with a pressing rod 71 for pressing the bottom of the button 62. Preferably, the pressing rod 71 is provided with a return spring 72 to drive the pressing rod 71 to return to its original position after pressing the button 62.

[0047] When the water outlet 24 supplies water to the flush assembly 7 , the water pressure causes the push rod 71 to lift one side of the bottom of the button 62 , so that the push rod on the other side of the bottom of the button 62 presses against the valve of the flush valve 61 .

[0048] Specifically, the flushing assembly 7 is provided with a water inlet 73 and a drain outlet 74. The water inlet 73 is connected to the water outlet 24. The diameter of the water inlet 73 is larger than the diameter of the drain outlet 74, so that the water flow to the pushing rod 71 is greater than the water flow to the drain outlet 74.

[0049] The utility model toilet utilizes the water pressure of the pipe 1 in the water tank to provide power to the hydroelectric generator 4. According to the national water pressure standard: 0.2Kpa-0.6Kpa, there is no problem of insufficient power. The water flow is used to generate electricity, and the flushing component is set to realize automatic flushing, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0050] In summary, the support assembly 2 of the water inlet pipe assembly of the present invention is connected to the pipe body 1 via the base ring 21. The control module 3 is mounted via the mounting box 22, and the hydroelectric generator 4 is placed via the base 23. This integrates the control module 3 and the hydroelectric generator 4 at one end of the pipe body, resulting in a compact structure and easy installation. The water inlet pipe assembly of the present invention also reduces the impact of water backflow on hydroelectric power generation by providing the drain port 231 and the inner opening 233 at the bottom of the side wall of the base 23, aligning the center of the drain port 231 with the center of the inner opening 233, and ensuring that the diameter of the drain port 231 is larger than the diameter of the inner opening 233.

[0051] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
