Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an intelligent flexible bend for toilet drainage, belonging to the technical field of water-saving toilets. Background Technique

[0002] For the drainage and sewage discharge structure of toilets, traditional toilets generally adopt a fixed S-bend structure to achieve the functions of preventing odor and draining water. During use, each time sewage is discharged, a large amount of flushing water is required. The feces and other dirt are flushed out of the pipeline by using the impact force of the water flow and the siphon effect caused by a large amount of water. This method not only causes a great waste of water resources, but if the drainage volume is small, it is easy to have the situation of incomplete sewage discharge, affecting the use effect.

[0003] In the flexible bend drainage patent technology of the company, only a simple rotating shaft is used to drive the hose to rotate; there are deficiencies in terms of installation and control. It is impossible to achieve convenient installation, and intelligent control cannot be achieved in the aspect of starting the rotation of the rotating shaft, and manual operation is still required. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an intelligent flexible bend for toilet drainage to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] An intelligent flexible bend for toilet drainage includes an outer housing, a rotating flexible bend, and a driving mechanism for driving the rotation of the rotating flexible bend; the outer housing is provided with an inlet and a drainage outlet; the rotating flexible bend is arranged inside the outer housing; the water inlet of the rotating flexible bend is sleeved with the inlet of the outer housing; the driving mechanism includes a driving motor and a rotating shaft; one end of the drainage outlet of the rotating flexible bend is connected to the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor; the rotating flexible bend is a flexible pipeline; in the water storage state, the drainage outlet of the rotating flexible bend faces upward; in the drainage state, the drainage outlet of the rotating flexible bend can swing downward towards the drainage outlet of the outer housing.

[0007] A further improvement of the technical scheme of the utility model is that the outer housing has a spherical contour.

[0008] A further improvement of the technical scheme of the utility model is that the rotating shaft has a "U" shape; both ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the outer housing, and one end of them is power-connected to the driving motor; a fixed collar is arranged in the middle part of the rotating shaft; one end of the drainage outlet of the rotating flexible bend is sleeved inside the fixed collar.

[0009] [[ID=,31]]A further improvement of the technical scheme of the utility model is that the outer housing is made of high-strength plastic.

[0010] A further improvement of the technical scheme of the utility model is that the rotating flexible bend is a corrugated pipe.

[0011] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0012] The intelligent flexible bend of this utility model comprises a rotating flexible bend, an outer casing, and a drive motor. The rotating flexible bend is installed inside the outer casing, and the drive motor is located on the outside of the outer casing. The rotation is controlled by the drive motor, thus forming an integrated intelligent flexible bend structure that enables convenient installation.

[0013] The intelligent flexible bend of this utility model can be rotated by controlling the drive motor, thereby realizing drainage and sewage discharge, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model involves a rotating bend with its drain outlet capable of rotating up and down. In the non-draining state, the outlet of the rotating bend faces upwards and is higher than the water level in the toilet bowl, serving as a water-sealing mechanism. During drainage / sewage discharge, the rotating bend is driven downwards, lowering the drain outlet below the water level in the bowl, injecting a small amount of water into the bowl. The force of gravity then creates a siphon effect, drawing the sewage outwards, thus achieving sewage discharge. Simultaneously, the rotating bend injects a small amount of clean water into the toilet bowl during drainage / sewage discharge, contributing to water conservation to some extent.

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "front end", "rear end", "both ends", "one end", "the other end", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0021] This utility model is an intelligent flexible bend for toilet drainage, which realizes the discharge of sewage through the rotation of the intelligent flexible bend.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the intelligent flexible bend mainly includes an outer casing 1, a rotating flexible bend 2, and a drive mechanism for rotating the rotating flexible bend 2. The outer casing 1 is a hollow casing structure with an inlet 3 and an outlet 4. The inlet 3 connects to the drain outlet of the toilet bowl, and the outlet 4 connects to the sewage pipe on the ground. The rotating flexible bend 2 is rotatably installed inside the outer casing. The rotating flexible bend 2 has a water inlet and an outlet. The water inlet of the rotating flexible bend 2 is fitted into the inlet 3 of the outer casing 1, and the water inlet of the rotating flexible bend 2 extends outward through the inlet of the outer casing 1 and connects to the drain outlet of the toilet bowl. The outlet of the rotating flexible bend 2 is controlled by the drive mechanism to swing up and down.

[0023] The rotating bend 2 is a flexible pipe. In the normal water-filled state, the outlet of the rotating bend 2 faces upward, and the water in the toilet bowl will not be discharged. When it is necessary to switch to the drainage state, the drive mechanism controls the outlet of the rotating bend 2 to swing downward. After swinging, the outlet of the rotating bend 2 faces downward toward the drain outlet 4 of the outer cover 1; at the same time, clean water is injected into the toilet bowl, and then the sewage and waste are discharged under the siphon effect.

[0024] The intelligent flexible bend uses a drive mechanism to control the rotation of the outlet of the flexible bend 2. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 5 and a rotating shaft 6. The output shaft of the drive motor 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 6 to transmit torque, and one end of the outlet of the flexible bend 2 is connected to the rotating shaft 6.

[0025] In practical implementation, the rotating shaft 6 is typically designed in a U-shape. Specifically, the short sections at both ends of the rotating shaft 6 are used to connect to the outer casing 1 and the output shaft of the drive motor 5. These short sections are rotatably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the outer casing 1, and one end is also connected to the drive motor 5. A fixing collar 7 is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft 6. During installation, one end of the outlet of the rotating bend 2 is fitted into the fixing collar 7, thus causing the outlet of the rotating bend 2 to swing up and down as the rotating shaft 6 rotates. Specifically... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown.

[0026] In specific implementation, the outer casing 1 is preferably set to a spherical or spherical outline. The outer casing 1 is made of high-strength plastic, which has good strength and is rust and corrosion resistant.

[0027] In practice, the rotating bend 2 is usually made of a bellows.

[0028] After installation, the intelligent flexible toilet will be used, with pre-reserved installation space inside the toilet. The inlet 3 of the outer casing 1 connects to the drain outlet of the toilet bowl, and the outlet 4 of the outer casing 1 connects to the sewage pipe on the ground. The connection between the outer casing 1, the toilet bowl, and the sewage pipe is sealed to prevent odors from escaping.

[0029] When not draining, turning the trapezoid 2 so that the outlet faces upwards and is higher than the water level in the toilet bowl will not drain the water. Figure 1 , 2 As shown. In the drainage and sewage discharge state, the rotating bend 2 is driven to rotate downwards, and the drain outlet is lower than the water level in the pool. At this time, a small amount of water needs to be injected into the pool. Under the action of gravity, a siphon effect is triggered to draw sewage out, thereby achieving sewage discharge. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The pivot section has been omitted. Figure 3 This is to illustrate the drainage process. The trapdoor can rotate under external force. During drainage and sewage discharge, a small amount of clean water can be simultaneously injected into the toilet bowl, thus saving water to some extent. Rotating the trapdoor 2 functions similarly to the S-bend of a traditional toilet.

[0030] This intelligent trap works even better in smart toilets. A linkage button is set up to control the drive motor and the flushing pump, so that the water is drained into the toilet bowl while the trap is rotating.

[0031] The intelligent flexible bend in this technical solution is installed inside the outer casing and rotated by a drive motor, thus forming an integrated intelligent flexible bend structure that enables convenient installation.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
