Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toilet technology, and in particular to a flushing pipe and toilet. Background Technology

[0002] A smart toilet is a sanitary ware that integrates functions such as washing, seat heating, warm air drying, and sterilization. It is favored by people because of its diverse functions and ease of use.

[0003] Given that tap water in China generally contains chloride ions, current smart toilets use an electrolyzed water module to prepare sterilizing water for disinfection. The principle is to electrolyze water to produce hypochlorous acid, active oxygen, and other components. These substances can destroy the cell membrane structure of microorganisms, thereby killing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. However, in related technologies, smart toilets use a flow-through electrolyzed water device in the flushing water circuit to produce electrolyzed water. The flow-through electrolysis process is short, resulting in a lower concentration of hypochlorous acid and poor sterilization effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flushing pipe and toilet to solve the problem of poor sterilization effect.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a toilet with a flushing pipeline, which includes an inlet valve 1, a treatment chamber 2, a self-priming pump 3, and a nozzle 4. The inlet end of the inlet valve 1 is connected to a water source; the inlet end of the treatment chamber 2 is connected to the outlet end of the inlet valve 1, and an electrolytic element is installed inside the treatment chamber 2, allowing the water to be electrolyzed while remaining still; the inlet end of the self-priming pump 3 is connected to the outlet end of the treatment chamber 2, and the inlet end of the nozzle 4 is connected to the outlet end of the self-priming pump 3.

[0034] The treatment chamber 2 in the above-mentioned flushing pipeline is equipped with an electrolytic element. After water enters the treatment chamber 2 through the inlet valve 1, it can be electrolyzed by the electrolytic element. After electrolysis is completed, the water in the treatment chamber 2 can be pumped out by the self-priming pump 3 and sprayed out by the nozzle 4, thereby increasing the electrolysis time, increasing the concentration of hypochlorous acid in the electrolyzed water, and improving the sterilization effect.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the treatment chamber 2 is also provided with a vent 21 that connects to the atmosphere, thereby making the treatment chamber 2 an open treatment chamber, which can effectively prevent siphon backflow when the water supply is interrupted, eliminating the need to install a vacuum breaker 7 in the flushing pipeline, thereby reducing the number of components and saving space and cost.

[0036] It is understood that in some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a vacuum breaker 7 can also be installed in the flushing pipeline, thus eliminating the need for an air vent 21. The vacuum breaker 7 is located between the water inlet valve 1 and the treatment chamber 2, thereby avoiding the siphon phenomenon caused by the vacuum in the flushing pipeline.

[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the flushing pipeline further includes a water divider valve 5, which has a first inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet. Both the first and second outlets are connected to the first inlet, thereby enabling the inlet of the nozzle 4 to be connected to the first outlet and / or the second outlet. In other words, the water path can be separated by the water divider valve 5, so that the nozzle 4 can be introduced into at least one of the water paths. For example, when the nozzle 4 has a single outlet, the nozzle 4 can be connected to either the first outlet or the second outlet. Alternatively, the nozzle 4 can be provided with two water paths. For example, the nozzle 4 has a first inlet, a second inlet, a first spray nozzle, and a second spray nozzle. The first inlet is connected to the first spray nozzle and the first outlet, and the second inlet is connected to the second spray nozzle and the second outlet. The first inlet is connected to the outlet of the self-priming pump 3, thereby enabling the water from the self-priming pump 3 to be separated by the water divider valve 5 and enter two different spray paths in the nozzle 4, thereby forming spray water for different purposes. For example, one spray path can be used for cleaning (cleaning water path) without activating the electrolyzer, while another spray path can activate the electrolyzer to generate electrolyzed water for self-cleaning and sterilization (sterilization water path).

[0038] To increase the temperature of the cleaning water, the rinsing pipeline also includes a heater 6. The inlet of the heater 6 is connected to the outlet of the treatment chamber 2, and the outlet of the heater 6 is connected to the first inlet, so that water can enter the heater 6 for heating.

[0039] Therefore, based on two different paths, heater 6 can have two states: working and not working. Electrolytic element also has two states: working and not working. The working state of heater 6 corresponds to the non-working state of electrolytic element; while the non-working state of heater 6 corresponds to the working state of electrolytic element. Thus, when heater 6 is working and electrolytic element is not working, the water distribution valve 5 is operated so that the first water inlet of water distribution valve 5 is connected to the first water outlet. Water flowing from the water source flows through water inlet valve 1 to treatment chamber 2 (without electrolysis), and is then drawn into heater 6 by self-priming pump 3 for heating to increase the water temperature. After passing through water distribution valve 5, it flows out from the first spray nozzle of nozzle 4, forming a cleaning water path for cleaning.

[0040] When the heater 6 is not working, the electrolytic unit is working and controls the water distribution valve 5, so that the first water inlet of the water distribution valve 5 is connected to the second water outlet. The water flowing out from the water source flows through the water inlet valve 1 to the treatment chamber 2 (static electrolysis), and is then sucked into the heater 66 by the self-priming pump 3 (not heated), and then flows out through the second spray nozzle of the nozzle 4 after passing through the water distribution valve 5, forming a sterilization water path for sterilization.

[0041] Understandably, before cleaning, the self-priming pump 3 can extract as much of the electrolyzed water as possible from the treatment chamber 2, thereby minimizing the presence of electrolyzed water during cleaning and reducing its impact on the human body.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the flushing pipeline may further include a foam shield mechanism 8, and the water distribution valve 5 also has a third water outlet. The third water outlet is connected to the first water inlet and the water inlet of the foam shield mechanism 8. By switching the water distribution valve 5, electrolyzed water can be injected into the foam shield mechanism 8 to mix with the foaming agent in the foam shield mechanism 8 and then injected into the pot surface to form a foam shield. It should be noted that the foam shield mechanism 8 is prior art, and its specific mechanism will not be described in detail.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the flushing pipeline further includes a deodorization mechanism 9, and the water distribution valve 5 also has a fourth water outlet. The fourth water outlet is connected to the first water inlet and the water inlet of the deodorization mechanism 9, thereby allowing electrolyzed water to flow into the deodorization mechanism 9 for deodorization. Subsequently, the deodorized electrolyzed water can be supplied to the flushing water tank for subsequent flushing. It should be noted that the deodorization mechanism 9 is prior art, and its specific mechanism will not be described in detail.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the flushing pipeline may further include an atomizing mechanism 10. The atomizing mechanism 10 has an atomizing chamber, and an atomizing element is provided inside the atomizing chamber. In this case, the atomizing chamber and the treatment chamber 2 are two different chambers. The water distribution valve 5 has a fifth water outlet, which is connected to the first water inlet and the water inlet of the atomizing chamber, so as to provide electrolyzed water to the atomizing chamber and atomize it through the atomizing element inside the atomizing chamber. The atomizing chamber is provided with an atomizing outlet 22, so as to provide water mist, thereby performing atomization sterilization treatment of the toilet through water mist.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the processing chamber 2 is also equipped with an atomizing element and an atomizing outlet 22 to allow the atomized water mist to be discharged from the processing chamber 2. Thus, the processing chamber 2 can perform both water electrolysis and atomization operations, with atomization and electrolysis co-located. When atomization sterilization is required, the electrolyzing element can be used to electrolyze water first, then the electrolyzing element can be turned off, and then the atomizing element can be turned on to atomize the electrolyzed water into water mist. To facilitate the guidance and discharge of the water mist from the processing chamber 2, the atomizing outlet 22 can also be equipped with a fan to discharge the water mist.

[0046] In some embodiments, the flushing pipeline may further include a ceramic-lubricating tube 11, and the water distribution valve 5 may also have a sixth water outlet, which is connected to the first water inlet and the water inlet of the ceramic-lubricating tube 11, thereby providing electrolyzed water to the ceramic-lubricating tube 11 to lubricate the toilet.

[0047] Furthermore, by closing the inlet valve 1 and activating the self-priming pump 3 to continuously draw air through the vent 21 of the treatment chamber 2, residual water (including residual electrolyzed water and residual unelectrolyzed water) in the rinsing pipeline can be discharged through the nozzle 4. Newly introduced water can then be used for cleaning instead of electrolyzed water, improving the user experience. Simultaneously, discharging residual water reduces scale formation. In another embodiment, electrolyzed water can be pre-stored in the treatment chamber 2, allowing it to be supplied to different components (e.g., for self-cleaning and sterilization, or for ceramic lubrication) before cleaning via the water distribution valve 5 for various purposes.

[0048] Thus, the toilet can increase the electrolysis time and the concentration of hypochlorous acid in the electrolyzed water through the flushing pipe, thereby improving the sterilization effect; and it can also supply electrolyzed water to different components for different purposes by switching the water distribution valve 5.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
