Detailed Implementation

[0032] Example 1

[0033] The following is combined with Figures 1-7 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0034] A flushing device includes a first control valve 10, the first control valve 10 having an inlet 101 and a first outlet 1021 connected to the inlet 101, the first outlet 1021 being used to supply water to the brush ring, and an adapter 20 being installed at the first outlet 1021, the adapter 20 having a negative pressure channel 201 that generates negative pressure based on water flow and an inlet 202 connected to the negative pressure channel 201;

[0035] It also includes a foaming device 40, which has a foaming channel 403 and an air inlet channel 404 connected to the foaming channel 403. The foaming channel 403 is connected to the liquid inlet 202, so that the foaming channel 403 and the air inlet channel 404 draw in the foaming liquid and air through the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure channel 201.

[0036] During use, water flows through the adapter 20, creating negative pressure in the negative pressure channel 201. This negative pressure draws the foaming liquid from the foaming device 40 through the inlet 202, reducing the need for unnecessary openings in the adapter. During the suction of the foaming liquid, air dissolves into the foaming liquid through the air inlet channel 404, forming primary foam. This primary foam is then drawn into the second channel 2012 under negative pressure and mixed with the water to form secondary foam, improving the foaming effect. Simultaneously, the foaming device 40 shares a water path with the brush ring, ensuring that the entire ceramic wall is brushed during each foaming cycle. The foaming process also pre-wets the entire ceramic wall, preventing splashing, staining, and odor control.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the negative pressure channel 201 includes a first channel 2011 and a second channel 2012 that are interconnected along the water outlet direction. The cross-sectional area of ​​the water outlet end of the first channel 2011 is smaller than that of its water inlet end, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the water outlet end of the first channel 2011 is smaller than that of the water inlet end of the second channel 2012. The liquid inlet 202 is connected to the second channel 2012. When the water flows through the first channel 2011, it is compressed, which increases its flow velocity and reduces the pressure on the fluid surface. As a result, a negative pressure is generated in the second channel 2012. Therefore, the liquid inlet 202 is connected to the second channel 2012, so that the second channel 2012 can draw the foaming device 40 through the liquid inlet 202. Furthermore, the water outlet end face of the first channel 2011 extends into the water inlet end of the second channel 2012. Based on the Venturi principle, a negative pressure zone is formed behind the water outlet end face of the first channel 2011. Therefore, the liquid inlet 202 is located behind the water outlet end face of the first channel 2011 to ensure the negative pressure suction effect.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first control valve 10 has a second outlet 1022 connected to the inlet 101, and also has a switching element for controlling whether the inlet 101 is connected to the first outlet 1021 or the second outlet 1022. The second outlet 1022 is used to supply jet water. Therefore, the flushing needs of the toilet and the brush ring are met by controlling the switching element.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a second control valve 30 is provided between the foam outlet channel 403 and the liquid inlet 202 to control the connection between the foam outlet channel 403 and the liquid inlet 202, preventing the water from flowing back into the flushing device or out through the air inlet channel 404 when the brush ring is finished. In use, the user can close or open the second control valve 30. Closing the second control valve 30 and opening the first water outlet 1021 results in normal brush ring water output; simultaneously opening the second control valve 30 and the first water outlet 1021 sprays foam into the toilet bowl, covering the entire ceramic wall and water surface, meeting the needs of both normal and foam brush ring use.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the foaming device 40 includes a housing 401, which has a accommodating cavity 4011 for holding foaming liquid, and also includes a gas mixing device 402 that is sealed and adapted to the accommodating cavity 4011. The gas mixing device 402 has a foam outlet channel 403 and an air inlet channel 404 that are connected to the accommodating cavity 4011.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 7As shown, the mixing device 402 includes a first connector 4021 and a second connector 4022. The first connector 4021 is provided with a first bubble outlet channel 4031, and the second connector 4022 is provided with a second bubble outlet channel 4032. The first bubble outlet channel 4031 and the second bubble outlet channel 4032 are interconnected and form a bubble outlet channel 403. The second connector 4022 is provided with a first air inlet channel 4041. The gap between the first connector 4021 and the second connector 4022 forms the second air inlet channel 4042. The first air inlet channel 4041 is connected to the second air inlet channel 4042 and forms an air inlet channel 404.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the first connector 4021 and the second connector 4022 are mutually adapted to each other. Specifically, the first connector 4021 has a protrusion, and the second connector 4022 has a concave portion adapted to the protrusion. The protrusion and the concave portion are connected to form a second air intake channel 4042, so that the second air intake channel 4042 is arranged in a ring around the bubble outlet channel 403. The first connector 4021 has a plurality of first air intake channels 4041. The number of first air intake channels 4041 is 3 to increase the air intake effect. In other embodiments, the number of first air intake channels 4041 can also be increased or decreased.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a booster pump 50, the inlet of which is connected to a water supply source, namely a water tank 60. In other embodiments, municipal water supply may also be used. The outlet of the booster pump 50 is connected to the inlet 101 to increase the water flow rate, thereby increasing the negative pressure effect within the second channel 2012.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] A toilet includes a toilet body, the toilet body is provided with a brush ring nozzle 70 and a jet nozzle, and also includes a flushing device as described above, wherein a first water outlet 1021 is connected to the brush ring nozzle 70 and a second water outlet 1022 is connected to the jet nozzle.

[0046] The flushing logic of the toilet proposed in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the details are as follows:

[0047] During normal brushing, the second control valve 30 is closed. The booster pump 50 is turned on, and the switching element connects the inlet 101 to the first outlet 1021, allowing the brush nozzle 70 to spray water for normal rinsing of the ceramic wall. After time period T1, the switching element connects the inlet 101 to the second outlet 1022, and the spray nozzle flushes waste out of the toilet. After time period T2, the switching element connects the inlet 101 to the first outlet 1021, and the brush nozzle 70 replenishes water to the toilet until the water seal height is reached.

[0048] When the foam brush ring is activated, the second control valve 30 is opened, the booster pump 50 is turned on, and the switching component connects the water inlet 101 to the first water outlet 1021. When the water flows through the adapter 20, a negative pressure is generated in the second channel 2012, thereby drawing the foam from the foaming device 40 through the liquid inlet 202. The foam is brushed all over the ceramic wall surface with the water flow and forms a foam layer on the water surface, achieving the functions of no splashing, no staining, and odor isolation. After the user finishes using the toilet, the waste and foam are flushed out of the toilet together.

[0049] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
