Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a toilet with a dirty water overflow protection device. When toilets become clogged, the cause of such clogging is mostly the curvature of the toilet's curved drain pipe. When a clog occurs, users usually press the flush button multiple times in the hope that a high water level will clear the pipe. However, if the clog is not cleared after pressing the flush button multiple times and the clog still exists, this will cause the water level of the dirty water in the funnel-shaped bowl cavity to rise, such that even a slight lack of attention can cause dirty water to leak out of the round toilet bowl and pollute the floor of the toilet room. It is the object of the present invention to provide a toilet with a dirty water overflow protection device to solve the problem of the prior art that dirty water leaks out when a clog occurs in the curved drain pipe of a toilet. The object of the invention is achieved as follows: A toilet with a dirty water overflow protection device, wherein the toilet block comprises a round toilet bowl, a funnel-shaped bowl cavity and a curved drain pipe, wherein flush water holes are arranged on the upper edge of the round toilet bowl and communicate with the water inlet channel; an overflow protection channel is arranged outside the funnel-shaped bowl cavity, the overflow protection channel is a channel having a substantially laterally inclined inverted S-shape, such that the S-shaped channel forms a siphon structure with overflow protection channel, the overflow inlet end of the overflow protection channel is connected to the bowl wall of the funnel-shaped bowl cavity, the overflow outlet end of the overflow protection channel is connected to the water outlet end of the curved drain pipe. In the present invention, the overflow protection channel is arranged along the outer wall of the funnel-shaped bowl cavity, the overflow opening of the overflow protection channel is arranged on the bowl wall of the funnel-shaped bowl cavity and is located below the flush water holes, the overflow protection structure is formed by overflowing water 1 entering through the overflow opening and exiting from the overflow protection channel. In the present invention, the overflow protection channel is arranged on the seat body of the toilet block, the overflow opening of the overflow protection channel is arranged below the water inlet channel, and the overflow protection structure is formed by overflowing water flowing through the flush water holes through the overflow opening into the overflow protection channel and out of it. In the present invention, an overflow protection channel is arranged outside the funnel-shaped bowl cavity, since the overflow protection channel uses a siphon structure, bad smells are prevented, and when the toilet is used properly, the overflow protection channel serves as an auxiliary drainage for a small amount of fresh water; when clogging occurs, the problem of dirty water contaminating the floor in the toilet room is solved by discharging the dirty water: moreover, when the toilet is used properly, the overflow protection channel can also serve to drain flush water accumulated in the lower portion, such that the occurrence of deposits on the bowl wall of the funnel-shaped bowl cavity is also prevented. The drawings show: Figure 1: a structural diagram of an embodiment 1 of the present invention; Figure 2: a structural diagram of an embodiment 2 of the present invention; Referring to Figure 1, embodiment 1 shows a toilet with a dirty water overflow protection device, wherein the toilet block includes a round toilet bowl 1, a funnel-shaped bowl cavity 2, and a curved drain pipe 3; flush water holes 5 are arranged on the upper edge of the round toilet bowl 1 and communicate with the water inlet channel 4; an overflow protection channel 6 is arranged outside the funnel-shaped bowl cavity 2, the overflow protection channel 6 is a channel having a substantially laterally inclined inverted S-shape, such that the S-shaped channel forms a siphon structure as the overflow protection channel 6, the overflow inlet end a of the overflow protection channel 6 is connected to the bowl wall 7 of the funnel-shaped bowl cavity 2, the overflow outlet end b of the overflow protection channel 6 is connected to the water outlet end c of the curved drain pipe 3; the overflow protection channel 6 is arranged along the outer wall of the funnel-shaped bowl cavity 2, the overflow opening 8 of the overflow protection channel 6 is arranged on the bowl wall 7 of the funnel-shaped bowl cavity 2 and is located below the flush water holes 5, the overflow protection structure is formed by overflowing water 5 entering through the overflow opening 8 and exiting from the overflow protection channel 6. Referring to Figure 2, the difference of embodiment 2 from embodiment 1 is that the overflow protection channel 6 is arranged inside the seat body of the toilet block, the overflow opening 8 of the overflow protection channel 6 is arranged below the water inlet 10 channel 4, and the overflow protection structure is formed by overflowing water flowing through the flush water holes 5 through the overflow opening 8 into the overflow protection channel 6 and out of it. In the present invention, an overflow protection channel 6 is arranged outside the funnel-shaped bowl cavity 2, which does not affect the user experience of the toilet, the 15 overflow protection channel 6 serves as an auxiliary drainage for a small amount of fresh water, so that when a clogging occurs in the curved drain pipe 3, the problem of dirty water contaminating the floor in the toilet room is solved by discharging the dirty water, and any accumulated flush water is drained every time, such that deposits on the bowl wall 7 of the funnel-shaped bowl cavity 2 are also prevented.
