Description

[Technical field]

[0001] TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the field of toilet technology, but is particularly, but not exclusively, directed to toilet bodies and toilets. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional toilet flushing devices are divided into tank-type and tankless types. In tankless toilet flushing devices, the water pipe is usually connected to the nozzle at the bottom of the toilet so that the water is sprayed toward the bottom of the toilet, and the toilet waste discharge pipe forms a siphon. Due to the design requirements of the siphon and the amount of water required, the toilet cannot have a large waste discharge port. If the nozzle at the bottom of the toilet is used to spray the bottom of the toilet, the flushing noise is loud and dirt may accumulate at the nozzle position, making maintenance difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The following is a general overview of the subject matter described in detail in this disclosure, which is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the claims.

[0004] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a toilet body, comprising a bowl and a waste discharge section connected to the bowl, a waste discharge flow path connected to an outlet of the bowl, the waste discharge flow path being arranged to communicate with a rotary waste discharge pipe, whereby waste in the bowl passes through the waste discharge flow path and enters the rotary waste discharge pipe and is discharged, a bottom wall of the waste discharge flow path is arranged to be inclined downward along a waste discharge direction of the waste discharge flow path, and an inclination angle of the bottom wall of the waste discharge flow path with respect to the horizontal direction is set to be greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 34 degrees.

[0005] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a toilet, comprising: a toilet body according to any of the above embodiments; and a rotating waste discharge pipe in communication with the waste discharge flow path.

[0006] Other aspects may be understood after reading and understanding the drawings and detailed description. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] The technical solution of the present disclosure will be further described by the embodiments with reference to the drawings as follows. It can be understood that the embodiments described herein are only for illustrating the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present application, a toilet is provided, as shown in Figures 1 to 6. The toilet includes a toilet body 10 and a reversible waste discharge assembly 20. The reversible waste discharge assembly 20 includes a waste discharge box 201 and a rotary waste discharge pipe 202. The rotary waste discharge pipe 202 is disposed in the waste discharge box 201 and communicates with the bowl 101 of the toilet body 10 via a waste discharge port 204 installed in the waste discharge box 201. The rotary waste discharge pipe 202 can be reversed to discharge waste by being driven by a driving device 203. The driving device 203 includes a motor, a transmission assembly, etc., and the transmission assembly includes, for example, gears, etc.

[0011] The toilet body 10 is further provided with a mounting cavity 102 arranged in parallel with the bowl 101. As shown in Fig. 2, the mounting cavity 102 is located behind the bowl 101. The reverse waste discharge assembly 20 is mounted in the mounting cavity 102. As shown in Fig. 1, the toilet body 10 is further provided with a maintenance port 103 communicating with the mounting cavity 102 to facilitate inspection and repair of the reverse waste discharge assembly 20 or replacement of components of the reverse waste discharge assembly 20. The maintenance port 103 may be provided on the rear wall of the toilet body 10.

[0012] As shown in Fig. 1, the toilet body is further provided with a waste discharge part 104, which communicates with the bowl 101. The waste discharge part 104 may be configured in a tubular shape as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The waste discharge part 104 is provided with a waste discharge flow path 104a, and an inlet 104b and an outlet 104c which communicate with the waste discharge flow path 104a. The bowl 101 and the waste discharge flow path 104a communicate with each other via the inlet 104b. The inlet 104b is, in other words, the outlet of the bowl 101.

[0013] The waste discharge passage 104a of the waste discharge unit 104 communicates with the rotary waste discharge pipe 202 via the outlet 104c, and the rotary waste discharge pipe 202 is rotatable relative to the waste discharge passage 104a, and can be switched between an initial state and a waste discharge state. When the toilet is in the waste discharge state, waste flows from the bowl 101 through the inlet 104b into the waste discharge passage 104a, and then through the outlet 104c into the rotary waste discharge pipe 202 to be discharged.

[0014] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the bottom wall 104d of the waste discharge flow path 104a is installed at a downward incline along the waste discharge direction of the waste discharge flow path 104a, as shown by the dashed arrow in Figure 2, thereby allowing the waste to flow smoothly into the rotating waste discharge pipe 202, thereby improving the waste discharge efficiency.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 3, the inclination angle of the bottom wall 104d of the waste discharge passage 104a with respect to the horizontal direction is denoted as α, and α is set to be greater than 0 degrees and equal to or less than 34 degrees. The inclination angle α can realize a relatively high fluidity of waste on the one hand, and can prevent waste from scattering in the rotary waste discharge pipe 202, thereby improving the cleanliness of the rotary waste discharge pipe 202 and reducing the cost of daily cleaning. In addition, since the reverse waste discharge method is adopted to discharge waste, in the initial state, the rotary waste discharge pipe 202 is located at the initial position (for example, the initial position may be set to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane), and when waste needs to be discharged, the rotary waste discharge pipe 202 rotates downward, and the waste in the bowl 101 and the rotary waste discharge pipe 202 flows downward and is discharged by gravity, and after the waste discharge is completed, the rotary waste discharge pipe 202 rotates in the reverse direction and returns to its original position, forming a water seal in the bowl 101. If the inclination angle of the bottom wall 104d of the waste discharge passage 104a is too large, the installation position of the waste discharge port 204 will be too low, and in order to ensure the height of the sealed water in the bowl 101, the size along the vertical direction of the rotating waste discharge pipe 202 will be enlarged, and the size of the waste discharge box 201 will be enlarged accordingly, which will reduce the utilization rate of the space inside the toilet body 10 and enlarge the external size of the toilet. Because the inclination angle of the bottom wall 104d of the waste discharge passage 104a is suitable for the inverted waste discharge assembly 20, the toilet according to the embodiment of the present application does not need to install a bent waterway to ensure the sealed water like a normal wash-down toilet, or to install a bent waterway to generate a siphon effect like a normal siphon toilet.

[0016] In the embodiment of the present application, the inclination angle of the bottom wall 104d of the waste discharge passage 104a is designed so that the bottom wall 104d forms a smooth inclination, which is conducive to the waste smoothly sliding down and flowing into the rotary waste discharge pipe 202, and further realizes the waste discharge by the rotation of the rotary waste discharge pipe 202. The design of the inclination angle of the bottom wall 104d not only enhances the waste discharge effect, but also effectively reduces noise during washing.

[0017] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the entire waste discharge channel 104a may be installed with a downward inclination, and the top wall 104e of the waste discharge channel 104a is parallel to the bottom wall 104d and is installed with a downward inclination, so that the waste has relatively good fluidity and the scattering of the waste can be prevented to a certain extent.

[0018] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, in the longitudinal center vertical plane (plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane) of the waste discharge channel 104a, the height of the waste discharge channel 104a is marked as H, and the minimum value of H is designed to be 5.5 cm or more, thereby obtaining a large waste discharge aperture and making the toilet have a relatively high waste discharge efficiency.

[0019] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the height of the waste discharge passage 104a is marked as H, and the minimum value of H is designed to be 5.5 cm or more, and the minimum value of H is designed to be 8.5 cm or less, so as to obtain a large waste discharge port diameter, while at the same time reducing the impact on the shape of the toilet body 10, and obtaining a relatively high external aesthetics.

[0020] In some exemplary embodiments, the minimum flow area of ​​the waste discharge passage 104a is 28.0 cm 2 ~68.0cm 2 By controlling the minimum flow area of ​​the waste discharge passage 104a, a relatively high water washing efficiency is obtained.

[0021] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Fig. 3, the horizontal distance between the outlet 104c of the waste discharge passage 104a and the outlet of the bowl 101 is marked as L, i.e., the horizontal distance between the inlet 104b and the outlet 104c of the waste discharge passage 104a is also marked as L. L is set within the range of 3.2cm to 9.7cm, which can obtain a relatively good fluidity of the waste on the one hand, and provide an arrangement space for the mounting structure for connecting the waste discharge part 104 and the rotary waste discharge pipe 202 to optimize the structural design of the whole toilet.

[0022] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Fig. 2, the area facing the inlet 104b of the waste discharge passage 104a of the bowl 101 is set to a slope that smoothly connects with the waste discharge passage 104a, as shown in the dashed frame in Fig. 2, and the dashed frame is merely a schematic illustration and does not represent the actual design structure of the slope that smoothly connects the bowl 101 and the waste discharge passage 104a. By setting the area facing the inlet 104b of the waste discharge passage 104a of the bowl 101 to a slope that smoothly connects with the waste discharge passage 104a, on the one hand, the fluidity of the waste can be increased to improve the waste discharge efficiency, and on the other hand, the smoothly connected slope is also beneficial to the cleaning operation, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0023] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, a protrusion 105 is provided on the inner wall of the waste discharge passage 104a of the waste discharge part 104. The protrusion 105 may be integrally molded with the waste discharge part 104, or the waste discharge part 104 may be integrally molded with the bowl 101. The protrusion 105 is located at the inlet 104b of the waste discharge passage 104a and protrudes downward. By using the protrusion 105, the height of the water seal in the toilet body 10 can be conveniently adjusted, and the adhesion of waste to the top wall 104e of the waste discharge passage 104a can be prevented to a certain extent, so that the difficulty of cleaning the entire waste discharge passage 104a can be reduced. The minimum height and minimum flow area of ​​the waste discharge channel 104a may be designed at the protrusion 105, i.e., the vertical height and flow area of ​​the waste discharge channel 104a at the inlet 104b are smaller than the vertical height and flow area of ​​the waste discharge channel 104a at other positions, such a design avoids the user from seeing other areas of the waste discharge channel 104a through the inlet 104b, which affects the user experience, and reduces the visibility of the waste discharge channel 104a. On the other hand, the waste discharge channel 104a is designed to be flared along the waste discharge direction, which is convenient for waste discharge, and achieves a relatively high waste discharge efficiency.

[0024] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the connection part 106 is installed on the outer wall of the waste discharge part 104. The connection part 106 is installed so as to be fixedly connected to the waste discharge box 201. The connection part 106 may be configured as a ring structure surrounding the outlet 104c, or the like. The fixed connection method between the connection part 106 and the waste discharge outlet 204 of the waste discharge box 201 may be a bolt connection, or a clamp connection, or the like, as shown in FIG. 2, and the clamp connection method may be a buckle method or a clamp band method, or the like. The buckle method may adopt a male and female buckle, and as shown in FIG. 4, the female buckle 205 may be fixed to the waste discharge box 201, and the male buckle 206 may be fixed to the connection part 106, and the female buckle 205 and the male buckle 206 are tightened and fixed. The clamp band method may adopt a structure of an upper clamp band 207 and a lower clamp band 208, and as shown in Fig. 5, the upper clamp band 207 is attached to one side, for example, the upper side, of the connection point between the connection part 106 and the waste discharge box 201, and the lower clamp band 208 is attached to the other side, for example, the lower side, of the connection point between the connection part 106 and the waste discharge box 201, and the upper clamp band 207 and the lower clamp band 208 are fixed using screws or the like, thereby realizing the attachment of the waste discharge box 201 to the toilet body 10. A seal may further be installed between the connection part 106 and the waste discharge box 201, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection area.

[0025] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 and 6, the toilet further includes a brush ring assembly 30, a shifter assembly 40, etc. The brush ring assembly 30 is attached to the toilet body 10 and communicates with the bowl 101, and is used to send brushing water into the bowl 101. The shifter assembly 40 may be disposed in the mounting cavity 102, and one end of the shifter assembly 40 communicates with the waste discharge box 201, and the other end of the shifter assembly 40 communicates with the sewer outlet of the floor, thereby realizing smooth waste discharge from the toilet.
