Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0014] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] The embodiments of the present invention can be changed into various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described in detail below. These embodiments are provided to more fully explain the present invention to those with average knowledge in the relevant technical field.

[0016] Therefore, the shapes of the components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for the purpose of emphasizing a clearer explanation. Note that in each drawing, the same components may be denoted by the same reference numerals. Also, detailed descriptions of known technical functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention may be omitted.

[0017] First, referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, the structure of a urinal with an opening / closing lid according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

[0018] The urinal in this embodiment includes a urinal main body 10 provided at a certain height on the toilet wall surface 100, an opening / closing lid 20 that is connected to the upper entrance of the urinal main body 10 via a hinge shaft 21 so as to be openable and closable, an operation switch 30 protruding from the entrance of the urinal main body 10 so as to be pressed by the opening / closing lid 20; a plurality of water injection nozzles 40 provided on the opening / closing lid 20 so that water can be injected by a control unit signal when the operation switch 30 is pressed, and a drain pipe 50 connected to the lower part of the urinal main body 10 so that the water injected through the water injection nozzles 40 can be drained.

[0019] At this time, the urinal main body 10 gradually widens from the lower part to the upper part, and the upper entrance 11 has a shape inclined at a predetermined angle.

[0020] Also, it can be confirmed that a plurality of the water injection nozzles 40 are provided at regular intervals along the circumference of the opening / closing lid 20.

[0021] Furthermore, it is preferable that the urinal main body 10 can be adjusted in lifting height via a guide rail 110 formed on the wall surface 100.

[0022] In the figure, reference numeral 60 not described indicates a cleaning water supply pipe to which cleaning water is supplied.

[0023] The functional effects of the urinal of the present invention having such a configuration will be considered below.

[0024] The urinal of the present invention can be fixedly installed on the wall body 100, or can also be provided so that the lifting height can be adjusted via the guide rail 110.

[0025] When the user urinates into the urinal in such an installation state, the urine is discharged through the drain pipe 50.

[0026] At this time, since the upper inlet portion 11 of the urinal body 10 of the present invention has a state of being inclined at a predetermined angle, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon that urine splashes or flows around.

[0027] After that, when the user who has finished urinating closes the opening / closing lid 20, the operation switch 30 is pressed, and at the same time, a water injection operation is performed according to the control signal of the control unit. At this time, the cleaning water supplied from the cleaning water supply pipe 60 is injected through the water injection nozzle 40 to perform a cleaning operation.

[0028] In particular, since a plurality of water injection nozzles 40 are provided at regular intervals on the opening / closing lid 20 in the present invention, it is possible to effectively perform cleaning with cleaning water without generating dead corners.

[0029] In addition, since the opening / closing lid 20 can be held in a closed state, it is possible to prevent the odor generated inside the urinal from diffusing into the space inside the toilet, and the appearance can be improved by the opening / closing lid 20 fulfilling the indoor interior function of the toilet.

[0030] Therefore, the urinal of the present invention shows the effect of preventing the diffusion of odor and being able to be used more hygienically due to the opening / closing lid structure provided at the inlet portion of the urinal body.

[0031] In addition, since the cleaning water is water-injected with the opening / closing lid closed, it shows the advantage of improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0032] On the other hand, FIGS. 7 and 8 show the configuration of a urinal according to another embodiment of the present invention. The opening / closing lid 20 is provided with a UV lamp 23 that generates UV light for a certain period of time when the lid is closed. The inner wall surface of the urinal body 10 is coated with a contamination prevention layer 12 for preventing contamination by foreign substances and performing sterilization.

[0033] At this time, the anti-pollution layer 12 is preferably formed with a mixing ratio of 30 to 40% by weight of polypropylene resin, 10 to 20% by weight of glyceryl stearate, 5 to 20% by weight of fluorinated xenon, 1 to 10% by weight of aluminum nitride powder, 1 to 15% by weight of phenylalanine-4-hydroxylase, 1 to 10% by weight of polybenzimidazene, 1 to 10% by weight of lithium hydroxide, 1 to 5% by weight of isoflavonoid, and 1 to 10% by weight of polycaprolactone.

[0034] With such a configuration, after the closing operation of the opening / closing lid 20, the interior of the urinal body 10 that has been washed with water is irradiated with UV light generated from the UV lamp 23 for a certain period of time, thereby exerting a bactericidal effect inside the urinal.

[0035] Furthermore, since the anti-pollution layer 12 is formed by coating on the surface of the urinal body 10, it functions to prevent the generation of scale and prevent the surface from discoloring due to urine.

[0036] In particular, since the glyceryl stearate and fluorinated xenon components are mixed in the anti-pollution layer 12, the surface lubricity is improved and the surface adhesion of foreign substances is prevented. The aluminum nitride powder improves the bactericidal function by light reflection of UV light. Phenylalanine-4-hydroxylase can suppress the generation of bubbles during the coating process of the anti-pollution layer 12 to form a generally uniform coating layer. Polybenzimidazene and lithium hydroxide function to prevent surface discoloration and the occurrence of contamination. Also, the additionally added isoflavonoid and polycaprolactone each serve as a catalyst for the polypropylene resin, and have the advantage of enhancing the bonding force between the compositions and strengthening the coating density.

[0037] And although the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated above, it is obvious that the urinal structure of the present invention can be variously modified and implemented by those skilled in the art.

[0038] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the urinal body has been described and illustrated as having a structure that allows for adjustment of the lifting height. However, it can also be provided as a fixed structure that is fixed to the wall as needed.

[0039] Also, the opening and closing operation of the lid can be selectively performed manually or automatically.

[0040] When the urinal configured as described above is adopted in an apartment or the like equipped with two or more toilets, the amount of water used is less than half that of a Western-style toilet, and there is an advantage that the water consumption can be reduced.

[0041] Therefore, such a modified embodiment should not be individually understood outside the technical idea and scope of the present invention, but should be construed as being included in the scope of the utility model registration claims attached to the present invention.
