AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing toilet flushing systems, sewage may flow back into the water tank due to siphoning. This is especially true in existing technologies where sewage may also flow back into the tank. Furthermore, a damaged or poorly sealed check valve between the pump outlet and the toilet bowl's flushing port can also contribute to this risk, particularly when the water tank and its outlet are positioned low.

Method used

In a toilet flushing system, a first check valve is installed to prevent water in the toilet bowl from flowing back to the water pump, and an anti-siphon port is installed on the water pump outlet pipe, which is connected to the inner cavity of the water tank. This allows air from the water tank to enter the pipe in case of siphoning, breaking the negative pressure and blocking the siphon. At the same time, the anti-siphon port is connected to the inner cavity of the water tank, allowing some water to flow back to the water tank, thus eliminating the need for a check valve.

Benefits of technology

With a dual anti-backflow mechanism, sewage can be effectively prevented from flowing back into the tank when the toilet is clogged, reducing costs and simplifying the structure, while making the anti-backflow effect more reliable.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a toilet flushing system. Background Technology

[0002] In existing toilet flushing systems that use a pump to draw water from a tank to flush the toilet bowl, when the bowl becomes clogged, the rising sewage may siphon back up to the pump and then into the tank. To prevent this backflow, a one-way valve is typically installed between the pump outlet and the toilet bowl's flushing inlet. This valve prevents the siphon backflow when the bowl is clogged. However, relying solely on a one-way valve to prevent backflow is not foolproof. If the valve malfunctions or fails to close properly, or if there is a seal problem, sewage can still siphon back into the tank, especially in cases where the tank and its outlet are positioned low.

[0044] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 9 This utility model provides a preferred embodiment of a toilet flushing system, including a toilet seat 10, a water tank 20, a water pump 30, a three-way valve 40, a first one-way valve 50, a water pump outlet pipe 60, an anti-siphon air supply pipe 70, and other components.

[0046] The toilet seat 10 has a toilet bowl 11. The upper part of the toilet bowl 11 is provided with an upper flushing assembly 111, and the lower part of the toilet bowl 11 is provided with a lower flushing assembly 112. The water flowing out from the upper flushing assembly 111 is used to flush the inner wall of the toilet bowl 11, and the water flowing out from the lower flushing assembly 112 is used to flush the bottom of the toilet bowl 11.

[0047] The water tank 20 is used to store cleaning water, and the bottom of the water tank 20 is provided with a water outlet 24;

[0048] The water pump 30 has an inlet 31 and an outlet 32, and the inlet 31 of the water pump 30 is connected to the inner cavity of the water tank 20.

[0049] The three-way valve 40 has an inlet 41, a first outlet 42, and a second outlet 43. The inlet 41 of the three-way valve 40 is connected to the outlet 32 ​​of the water pump 30. The first outlet 42 of the three-way valve 40 is connected to the upper flushing assembly 111 of the toilet bowl 11. The second outlet 43 of the three-way valve 40 is connected to the lower flushing assembly 112 of the toilet bowl 11.

[0050] The first check valve 50 is used to prevent water in the toilet bowl 11 from flowing back to the water pump 30;

[0051] One end of the water pump outlet pipe 60 is connected to the outlet 32 ​​of the water pump 30, and the other end is connected to the inlet 41 of the tee 40. The water pump outlet pipe 60 is equipped with an anti-siphon port 61 (see...). Figure 4 The anti-siphon port 61 is connected to the air inside the water tank 20.

[0052] In the above solution, on the one hand, a first one-way valve 50 is installed to prevent water in the toilet bowl 11 from flowing back to the water pump 30, thus providing the first layer of backflow prevention. On the other hand, an anti-siphon port 61 is installed on the water pump outlet pipe 60, connecting the anti-siphon port 61 to the air inside the water tank 20. Once a siphon occurs in the pipe from the water pump 30 to the toilet bowl 11 due to blockage of the toilet bowl 11, the air in the water tank 20 can enter the water pump outlet pipe 60 through the anti-siphon port 61, thereby breaking the negative pressure in the pipe from the water pump 30 to the toilet bowl 11 and blocking the siphon, thus providing the second layer of backflow prevention. Through this dual backflow prevention function, the problem of sewage in the toilet bowl 11 flowing back into the water tank 20 due to siphon in the event of blockage of the toilet bowl 11 can be effectively prevented, making the backflow prevention effect more reliable.

[0053] In addition, by connecting the anti-siphon port 61 to the inner cavity of the water tank 20, a small portion of the water flowing out of the anti-siphon port 61 can flow directly back into the water tank 20 during rinsing. This eliminates the need for a one-way valve at the anti-siphon port 61 to allow air to enter and prevent water from flowing out, thus reducing costs and simplifying the structure.

[0054] Preferably, in this embodiment, an anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 is also included, and the anti-siphon port 61 is connected to the inner cavity of the water tank 20 through the anti-siphon air supply pipe 70. The anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 is preferably made of silicone tubing.

[0055] In this embodiment, the water pump 30, the tee 40, and the anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 are all located outside the water tank 20. The water tank 20 is provided with a through hole 231 for the anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 to pass through, and the anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 extends into the inner cavity of the water tank 20 through the through hole 231. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the water pump 30 and the tee 40 can also be located inside the water tank 20. In this case, the anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 can be omitted, and the anti-siphon port 61 is located inside the water tank 20 and directly communicates with the inner cavity of the water tank 20. The water pump 30 and the tee 40 are located outside the water tank 20, which does not occupy the internal volume of the water tank 20. The water tank 20 can be designed to be smaller, and it is convenient to replace and repair the water pump 30.

[0056] In this embodiment, the water outlet 24 of the water tank is located at the bottom of the side wall of the water tank 20. A water pump inlet pipe 241 is connected to the water outlet 24 of the water tank. The water outlet 24 of the water tank is connected to the water inlet 31 of the water pump 30 through the water pump inlet pipe 241.

[0057] In order to fix the anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 that extends into the inner cavity of the water tank 20, in this embodiment, it is preferable to set a connecting pipe 21 that communicates with the perforation 231 in the water tank 20. A connector 22 is fixed on the connecting pipe 21. A flow channel is provided in the connector 22. One end of the flow channel is connected to the anti-siphon air supply pipe 70, and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the water tank 20 and is positioned higher than the working water level of the water tank 20, thereby ensuring that the anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 is kept in communication with the air in the water tank 20 and is not blocked by the water in the water tank.

[0058] To simplify the connection structure between connector 22 and connecting pipe 21, see... Figures 6-9 In this embodiment, the connector 22 includes a fixedly connected C-shaped sleeve portion 221 and a flow passage portion 222. The C-shaped sleeve portion 221 is elastically deformed and interference-fitted with the connecting pipe 21, and the flow passage portion 222 has a flow channel inside. The fixed connection between the connector 22 and the connecting pipe 21 can be achieved by directly fitting the C-shaped sleeve portion 221 into the connecting pipe 21, which is simple in structure and easy to assemble.

[0059] For more details, see Figure 8 and Figure 9In this embodiment, the flow passage 222 includes a connecting post 2221 located within the C-shaped sleeve 221 and an extension section 2222 located outside the C-shaped sleeve 221. The inner cavity of the connecting post 2221 and the inner cavity of the extension section 2222 form a flow channel. The end of the extension section 2222 away from the connecting post 2221 opens downward toward the inner cavity of the water tank 20. The anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 is connected to the connecting post 2221. Air in the water tank 20 sequentially flows through the inner cavity of the extension section 2222, the inner cavity of the connecting post 2221, and the anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 to connect with the water pump outlet pipe 60. The end of the extension section 2222 away from the connecting post 2221 opens downward toward the inner cavity of the water tank 20, so that during the rinsing process, a small portion of the water flow can flow downward into the water tank 20 from the end of the extension section 2222 away from the connecting post 2221, thereby preventing backflow water from splashing randomly.

[0060] In this embodiment, the top of the water tank 20 is provided with a horizontally arranged step 23, and a through hole 231 extends vertically through the step 23. An installation space is reserved below the step 23 to facilitate the upward insertion of the anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 into the through hole 231. A connecting pipe 21 is located on the upper surface of the step 23 and extends vertically upward. This arrangement of the step 23, through hole 231, and connecting pipe 21 allows the anti-siphon air supply pipe 70 to be easily inserted into the water tank 20 from bottom to top.

[0061] In this embodiment, the highest point of the water pump outlet pipe 60 is higher than the water level line of the water seal in the toilet bowl 11, and the anti-siphon port 61 is located at the highest point of the water pump outlet pipe 60. This design can further reduce the risk of sewage backflow in the toilet bowl 11.

[0062] In this embodiment, two first one-way valves 50 are provided. One first one-way valve 50 is located between the first outlet 42 of the tee 40 and the upper flushing assembly 111, and the other first one-way valve 50 is located between the second outlet 43 of the tee 40 and the lower flushing assembly 112. It is understood that only one first one-way valve 50 can be provided, preferably located between the inlet 41 of the tee 40 and the outlet 32 ​​of the water pump 30, thus saving one first one-way valve. The first one-way valve 50 only allows cleaning water to flow unidirectionally from the water pump outlet pipe 60 into the toilet bowl 11.

[0063] In this embodiment, the toilet seat 10 has a cavity 12 at its rear. The water tank 20 is independently formed and installed in this cavity 12. The top opening of the cavity 12 is covered by a cover plate base 80. It is understood that the water tank 20 can also be integrally formed with the toilet seat 10. The water pump 30 and the tee 40 are also installed in the cavity 12, resulting in a compact overall structure and a simple appearance. The water tank 20 is also equipped with an inlet valve, which controls the replenishment of water to the tank 20.

[0064] In some other implementations, a second one-way valve (not shown) can be installed at the anti-siphon port 61. The second one-way valve is used to control the air in the water tank 20 to enter the water pump outlet pipe 60 in one direction through the anti-siphon port 61, while the water in the water pump outlet pipe 60 will not enter the water tank 20. This ensures that when the toilet is flushed, all the water drawn by the water pump 30 can be used to flush the toilet bowl, and no small part will flow back into the water tank 20 through the anti-siphon port 61. This results in a larger flushing volume and a better flushing effect.

[0065] Understandably, by setting an anti-siphon port 61 on the water pump outlet pipe 60, this utility model can also effectively prevent water in the water tank 20 from siphoning into the toilet bowl when there is negative pressure in the pipe between the water tank 20 and the toilet bowl 11, thus avoiding the waste of water resources.

[0066] The present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
