Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on August 18, 2022, bearing application number 202210995183.X and entitled "Flushing System and Toilet Apparatus," the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of bathroom technology, particularly but not exclusively to flushing systems and toilet devices. [Background technology]

[0003] Currently, smart toilets equipped with pump flushing systems are gaining increasing popularity among consumers due to their stable flushing performance. This type of flushing system can meet the requirements of high water pressure in the water pipes and is not affected by fluctuations in water pressure when the water pipes are at low pressure.

[0004] However, this type of cleaning system also has some drawbacks, one of which is that when the operating conditions are abnormal, such as a power outage, the pump requires a relatively large amount of power to operate, so the pump cannot be driven when the power grid is out of service, and therefore cleaning cannot be achieved under power outage conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The following is a general overview of the subject matter detailed in this disclosure, which is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the claims.

[0006] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cleaning system, one or more jetting pipes each having a water outlet connected to the toilet body for jetting and flushing the toilet body and discharging waste by siphon action; a first water supply pipe having a water outlet connected to the water inlet of the jet pipe and equipped with a booster pump; a second water supply pipe whose outlet end is connected to the inlet end of the jet pipe; a control valve connected to the first water supply line and the second water supply line, for controlling communication between the water outlet ends of the first water supply line and the second water supply line and the water inlet end of the injection line; and a control device connected to the control valve and the booster pump, configured to control the outlet end of the first water supply line to communicate with the inlet end of the injection line in a first operating state, and to control the outlet end of the second water supply line to communicate with the inlet end of the injection line in a second operating state.

[0007] An embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a toilet apparatus comprising a toilet body and a flushing system described in any embodiment herein attached in combination with the toilet body, wherein the toilet body is provided with a flush connection port connected to the outlet end of the jet pipe.

[0020] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a toilet device 100, which can be applied to a jet-siphon type smart toilet, and can be either a sitting type or a squatting type. The embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the sitting type toilet device 100.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, a toilet apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a toilet body 1 and a flushing system attached in combination with the toilet body 1.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, toilet body 1 may include water tank 10, bowl body 11, and waste discharge passage 12 communicating with bowl body 11, with waste discharge passage 12 being used to connect to a sewage system. Bowl body 11 includes water seal area 110 communicating with waste discharge passage 12, with water seal area 110 being used to store a water column of a certain height to resist changes in air pressure difference within waste discharge passage 12 and prevent gas within waste discharge passage 12 from leaking into the room.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 2 , toilet body 1 is provided with rim connection port 13 and flush connection port 14 that can communicate with bowl body 11 (rim connection port 13 and flush connection port 14 cannot be fully shown because sprayer 7 and jet unit 6 are attached thereto, respectively). In the embodiment of the present disclosure, rim connection port 13 is provided at the top of bowl body 11, and flush connection port 14 is provided at the bottom of bowl body 11, corresponding to the position of water sealing area 110. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, water tank 10 may be integrated into toilet body 1, or in other embodiments, water tank 10 may be provided separately from toilet body 1, and this is not limited thereto.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1, the flushing system may include one or more jet lines 20, the outlet ends of which are connected to the toilet body 1 to provide jet flushing to the water seal area 110 of the toilet body 1, thereby discharging waste by siphon action.

[0025] The flushing system may further include a first water supply line 21 and a second water supply line 22, the outlet ends of which are both connected to the inlet end of the injection line 20. The first water supply line 21 is provided with an increase pump 3 for outputting pressurized water and increasing the impact force. The increase pump 3 may be a flushing water pump or an air pump.

[0026] The cleaning system may further include a control valve 4 connected to the first water supply line 21 and the second water supply line 22 and controlling the connection and disconnection between the water outlet ends of the first water supply line 21 and the second water supply line 22 and the water inlet end of the injection line 20.

[0027] The cleaning system may further include a control device 5, which may be electrically connected to the control valve 4 and the booster pump 3 and configured to control the communication between the outlet end of the first water supply line 21 and the inlet end of the injection line 20 in a first operating state, and to control the communication between the outlet end of the second water supply line 22 and the inlet end of the injection line 20 in a second operating state. Here, the first state is a state in which the system is connected to municipal power, and the second state is a state in which the system is connected to a standby power source.

[0028] The control valve 4 in the embodiment of the present disclosure adopts an integrated design control valve, which can control the opening and closing of multiple water flows and reduce the number of connecting parts, thereby reducing the connection complexity and cost. In one exemplary embodiment, the control valve 4 may be a plurality of independently designed control valve units, one of which controls the first water supply line 21 and another of which controls the second water supply line 22.

[0029] The embodiment of the present disclosure may include one or more spray lines 20. When one spray line 20 is provided, the first water supply line 21 and the second water supply line 22 may both be connected to the spray line 20, and the single spray line 20 can avoid providing multiple connection ports on the toilet body 1. When two spray lines 20 are provided, the first water supply line 21 and the second water supply line 22 may each be connected to a corresponding spray line 20.

[0030] The flushing system of the embodiment of the present disclosure is designed with two flushing systems, which can not only flush the toilet body 1 with pressurized water when there is electricity, but also flush the toilet body 1 using the municipal water supply even when there is a power outage.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the water inlet end of the first water supply pipeline 21 is configured to be connected to a municipal water supply pipeline (generally referred to as a tap water pipeline), and the water inlet end of the second water supply pipeline 22 is configured to be connected to the water tank 10. The embodiment of the present disclosure employs two independent water supply pipelines, which are not affected by each other and therefore can operate independently.

[0032] 1, the flushing system may further include a rim pipe 23, the water inlet end of which is configured to be connected to the second water supply pipe 22. The water outlet end of the rim pipe 23 is configured to be connected to the toilet body 1 to generate a rim water flow to flush the toilet body 1. A control valve 4 may further be connected to the rim pipe 23, and can control the connection and disconnection between the water inlet end of the rim pipe 23 and the second water supply pipe 22.

[0033] 4 to 6, the control valve 4 in the embodiment of the present disclosure employs a mixed multi-port valve, and includes a valve body 40, a first control mechanism 41, and a second control mechanism 42. The valve body 40 is provided with a communication passage 40a, a first flow path 401 and a second flow path 402 located upstream of the communication passage 40a, and a third flow path 403 and a fourth flow path 404 located downstream of the communication passage 40a.

[0034] The first control mechanism 41 is provided on the valve body 40 and controls the connection and disconnection between the outlet end of the first flow path 401 and the inlet end of the communication passage 4a. The inlet end of the first flow path 401 is configured to be connected to a municipal waterworks pipeline, the inlet end of the second flow path 402 is connected to the outlet end of the first flow path 401, and the outlet end of the second flow path 402 is connected to the water tank 10, allowing water to be continuously supplied to the water tank 10.

[0035] Here, the communication port between first flow path 401 and second flow path 402 is normally open, thereby continuously supplying water to water tank 10. First control mechanism 41 controls the connection / disconnection between first flow path 401 and communication passage 40a, and when first flow path 401 and communication passage 40a are connected, water flows into communication passage 40a and flows in the direction of second control mechanism 42 (see FIG. 5).

[0036] The second control mechanism 42 is provided on the valve body 40 and can control communication between the outlet end of the communication passage 40a and the inlet end of the third flow path 403, and can control communication between the outlet end of the fourth flow path 404 and the inlet end of the third flow path 403. The outlet end of the third flow path 403 is connected to the inlet end of the spray pipe 20. The inlet end of the fourth flow path 404 is connected to the outlet end of the first water supply pipe 21.

[0037] The valve body 40 is provided with a fifth flow path 405 located downstream of the communication passage 40a, and the water outlet end of the fifth flow path 405 is connected to the rim pipe 23. The second control mechanism 42 is further configured to control communication between the water outlet end of the communication passage 40a and the water inlet end of the fifth flow path 405. When the toilet apparatus 100 supplies water, the water flows through the communication passage 40a to the second control mechanism 42, and the water flow is further divided by the second control mechanism 42 to flow into the third flow path 403 or the fifth flow path 405 (see FIG. 6 ).

[0038] In the first operating state (a state in which electricity is present and connected to municipal power), the control device 5 is configured to control the first control mechanism 41 to switch between disconnection of the outflow end of the first flow path 401 and the inflow end of the communication passage 40a. The control device 5 is further configured to control the second control mechanism 42 to switch between communication between the outflow end of the fourth flow path 404 and the inflow end of the third flow path 403, and to control the second control mechanism 42 to switch between communication between the outflow end of the fourth flow path 404 and the inflow end of the fifth flow path 405.

[0039] In the second operating state (a state in which the standby power source is used and there is no electricity), the control device 5 is configured to control the first control mechanism 41 to switch the communication between the outlet end of the first flow path 401 and the inlet end of the communication passage 40a. The control device 5 is further configured to control the second control mechanism 42 to switch the communication between the outlet end of the communication passage 40a and the inlet end of the third flow path 403, and to control the second control mechanism 42 to switch the communication between the outlet end of the communication passage 40a and the inlet end of the fifth flow path 405.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first control mechanism 41 and the second control mechanism 42 may both be electrically controlled control mechanisms, and an electromagnetic valve core 410 is provided inside the first control mechanism 41 to enable or disable the water passage, and an electromagnetic valve core 420 is provided inside the second control mechanism 42 to enable or disable the water passage.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the flushing system may further include an injector 6 provided at the outlet end of the jet conduit 20 and a jet unit 7 provided at the end of the rim conduit 23. The injector 6 may be attached in combination with the flush connection port of the toilet body 1 to generate a jet of water to discharge waste by siphon action. The jet outlet of the jet unit 7 may be attached to correspond to the wall surface of the bowl body 11 to generate a rim water flow to flush the toilet.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 1, the flushing system may further include a toilet cover flushing line 24, the inlet end of which may be connected to a municipal water supply line, and the outlet end of which may be connected to the toilet cover 1a for flushing the toilet cover 1a.

[0043] 7 and 8, the control device 5 may be connected to a switching power supply, which supplies power to the booster pump 3 and the control valve 4. The control device 5 may also be connected to an energy storage power supply 9, which can supply power to the control valve 4 during a power outage. The switching power supply may refer to an AC power supply (e.g., municipal power).

[0044] The control device 5 in the embodiment of the present disclosure may adopt a PCBA electrical control board, which can be installed in the control box of the toilet body 1. The PCBA electrical control board is provided with a power interface that can be connected to municipal electricity and a power interface that can be connected to an energy storage power source 9.

[0045] The energy storage power source 9 in the embodiments of the present disclosure may refer to a mobile power source with a certain capacity, such as a backup battery that can store electrical energy. For example, the energy storage power source 9 may be a supercapacitor energy storage power source and may be installed on the PCBA electrical control board (see FIG. 7 ), which can supply power to the first control mechanism 41 and the second control mechanism 42. The control device 5 may further be configured to charge the energy storage power source 9 to store energy when connected to a switching power supply (when there is electricity).

[0046] The flushing system of the embodiment of the present disclosure has two water supply lines 21, 22, both of which can flush the toilet body 1. The first water supply line 21 is equipped with a booster pump 3 that can output a relatively high-pressure water flow to flush the toilet body 1, allowing flushing when the tap water line is operating at high water pressure, while also being unaffected by fluctuations in water pressure in the pipes when the tap water line is at low pressure. The second water supply line 22 can perform low-pressure flushing when there is a power outage.

[0047] Since the booster pump 3 has a relatively high power, its activation needs to be controlled when the control device 5 is connected to the municipal power. In the event of a power outage, i.e., when the control device 5 cannot be connected to the municipal power and powered, the control device 5 needs to be connected to the energy storage power source 9, which will supply power to the control valve 4 and control the second water supply line 22 to start supplying water and flush the toilet body 1.

[0048] The booster pump 3 may have an operating current of approximately 4000mA and an operating voltage of approximately 10V. It can operate continuously for 20 seconds, with an electrical energy of approximately 4A*10*20=800kWh. The stepper motor of the control valve 4 may have an operating current of approximately 100mA and an operating voltage of approximately 6V. It can operate for a total of 2 seconds, with an electrical energy of approximately 0.1A*6*2=1.2kWh. The stepper motor only operates during function startup and function switching; after switching to a position, it waits for the function operation to finish before switching or resetting again. The stepper motor may be driven by pulses, with each pulse being approximately 100mA, which is more energy-efficient than devices requiring continuous output. Therefore, when not connected to municipal electricity (during a power outage), the energy storage power supply 9 only supplies power to the control valve 4, consuming less energy.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the power supply circuit of the booster pump 3 and the power supply circuit of the control valve 4 may be designed independently, and a power interface separately provided in the control device 5 can be connected to the energy storage power supply 9. The energy storage power supply 9 supplies power to the control valve 4 independently, thereby reducing the power consumption of the energy storage power supply 9 and allowing the energy storage power supply 9 to be reused multiple times, thereby reducing costs.

[0050] The flushing system of the embodiment of the present disclosure is designed with two water supply lines 21, 22, which not only allows high-pressure flushing of the toilet body 1 when there is electricity, but also allows low-pressure flushing of the toilet body 1 during a power outage. In addition, the flushing system of the embodiment of the present disclosure is connected to an energy storage power source 9 and can independently supply power to the second water supply line 22 to achieve low-pressure drive control, which reduces the energy consumption of the energy storage power source 9, allows for multiple recycling, and is low cost.

[0051] As shown in Fig. 4, the flushing system according to the embodiment of the present disclosure introduces a municipal water supply pipeline (tap water source) by providing an angle valve 81, which is then connected to a three-way connecting pipe 82 by a pipe. The three-way connecting pipe 82 divides the tap water into two water paths: one path passes through the control valve 4 into the water tank 10, the water that enters the water tank 10 passes through the first water supply line 21 into the control valve 4, and further passes through the control valve 4 into the spray line 20 to flush the toilet body 1, and the other path passes through the second water supply line 22 into the control valve 4, and further passes through the control valve 4 into the spray line 20 to flush the toilet body 1, or into the rim line 23 to rim-flush the toilet body 1 (see Fig. 3).

[0052] When the flushing system is in an operating state with electricity (municipal power), the control device 5 (e.g., PCBA electrical control board) is connected to the power source (municipal power). Upon receiving a flush command, the control device 5 controls the booster pump 3 (flushing pump) to operate, and controls the control valve 4 to connect the first water supply line 21 and the injection line 20 to flush the toilet body 1. The control device 5 further controls the control valve 4 to connect the second water supply line 22 and the rim line 23 to rim flush the smart toilet 1. At this time, the toilet cover flushing line 24 (the smart toilet cover water line shown in Figure 7) is connected to flush the toilet cover.

[0053] When the flushing system is in a power outage (municipal power outage), the control device 5 is connected to an energy storage power source 9 (e.g., a backup power supply battery), and the energy storage power source 9 supplies power to the control valve 4. Upon receiving a flush command, the control device 5 controls the control valve 4 to connect the second water supply line 22 to the injection line 20 to flush the smart toilet 1, and the control device 5 further controls the control valve 4 to connect the second water supply line 22 to the rim line 21 to rim flush the smart toilet 1, and at this time, the toilet cover flushing line 24 is disconnected and the toilet cover is not flushed. Note that "X" in the line in Figure 8 indicates that the water line is not open, and " / " indicates that the function is unavailable.

[0054] The standby power supply embodied in the present disclosure only supplies power to the control valve 4, so the battery consumption is slow and it can be recycled multiple times, reducing costs and avoiding large amounts of energy waste and environmental pollution.

[0055] In the present description, the reference to "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "exemplary embodiment," "example," "particular examples," or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, and materials described with reference to said embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. In the present description, general references to such terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, and materials described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0056] Although the embodiments disclosed in the present disclosure are as described above, the contents of the description are merely examples adopted for understanding the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art may make modifications and changes in the form and details of implementation without departing from the spirit and scope disclosed in the present disclosure, but the patent protection scope of the present disclosure shall comply with the scope described in the claims.
