Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a water jet plunger, and more particularly to a water jet plunger capable of ejecting water with instantaneous pressure to remove foreign objects from a toilet bowl. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, as urbanization has rapidly changed people's living environments, the living environment has changed significantly compared to the past. In particular, the toilet, the place in real life where hygiene is most important, has changed from dirty and smelly Japanese-style toilets to clean Western-style toilets equipped with sanitary ceramics, including hygienic and clean Western-style toilets.

[0003] Generally, Western-style toilets allow users to urinate or defecate while sitting, and by discharging a certain amount of water stored in a water tank after urinating or defecating, the urine or feces can be released into a septic tank. Western-style toilets have an "S"-shaped siphon structure that prevents wastewater from rising up from inside the sewage pipe, but the "S"-shaped structure can cause tissue paper or other foreign objects to block the pipe, resulting in a clogged toilet.

[0004] To solve this problem, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2007-0009055 (hereinafter referred to as the "cited invention") discloses a configuration for solving the clogging phenomenon of the sewer or toilet by having a sealing member seal tightly to accommodate the entrance of the sewer and releasing the pressure inside the case to the drain pipe via a piston, thereby removing foreign matter stuck in the sewer.

[0005] However, the cited invention has a problem that the pressure inside the case is constantly discharged through the discharge pipe via the piston, so if the area of ​​the blockage is large or the size of the foreign object blocking the pipe is large, it is difficult to clear the blockage easily. To solve this problem, a means for clearing a toilet blockage that can discharge a large force all at once is required. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and its purpose is to provide a water jet plunger which comprises a tubular body having an openable and closable discharge device at one end, and a pressure unit which is provided inside the body and can move back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the body, and which solves the clogging phenomenon of western-style toilets by spraying water with instantaneous pressure rather than discharging pressure at a constant rate as the pressure unit applies pressure to the inside of the body which contains water, causing the discharge device provided at one end of the body to be released by the pressure. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a tubular body portion, and a pressure unit disposed inside the body portion and having a piston at one end that is arranged so as to be capable of reciprocating in the longitudinal direction of the body portion, the body portion including a discharge tool at one end side for controlling water injected from the outside, the discharge tool being released by pressure as the water contained within the body portion is pressurized by the pressure unit, thereby discharging water in the direction of the one end of the body portion.

[0008] In addition, the body portion may further include a siphon inserter formed at one end thereof to form an obtuse angle with the body portion and to have a size corresponding to an inlet of a siphon pipe of a Western-style toilet and to be insertable into the siphon pipe of the Western-style toilet.

[0009] The opening and closing tool can be coupled to a discharge tool provided on one inner end side of the body portion by magnetic force, and can be opened and closed by the pressure unit.

[0010] In addition, the discharge tool has a discharge hole therein and its edge is formed into a plate shape that corresponds to the inside of the body, and the discharge hole is provided with a magnetic ring-shaped flange on its inner peripheral edge, so that it can be coupled to the opening / closing tool by magnetic force, and the opening / closing tool can be coupled to the discharge hole by magnetic force at a fixed position by a connecting device that is rotatably provided and coupled to a hinge provided on one side of the discharge tool in the direction in which water is discharged, and is connected to one side of the opening / closing tool.

[0011] The discharge tool can be opened and closed by connecting the opening / closing tool to a location on the inside of the body portion via an elastic member.

[0012] The body may further include a water inlet provided at the other end thereof so as to be inclined upward and through which water can be injected into the body from the outside.

[0013] In addition, the pressurizing part has a hollow shape, and the piston further includes a hole penetrating in the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the internal space of the pressurizing part, and the piston is formed on one side in the direction of the dispenser, thereby forming a piston valve that can be opened and closed so that water flowing into the pressurizing part from the outside moves in the direction of the dispenser.

[0014] In addition, the pressurizing unit has a water inlet provided in an upward direction adjacent to the piston, and the water inlet can allow water that flows into the body unit and is stored above the piston to flow into the internal space of the pressurizing unit.

[0015] The pressurizing unit may further include a water inlet provided at the other end thereof for introducing water therein. Effect of the Invention

[0016] According to the present invention, an opening and closing device is provided at one end of a tubular body portion, and when water that has flowed into the body portion from the outside is contained in the body portion, a pressurizing section arranged inside the body portion pressurizes the body portion containing the water, causing the opening and closing device provided at one end of the body portion to open and spray water with instantaneous pressure, thereby removing any foreign objects blocking the pipes of the Western-style toilet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] The object of the present invention is to provide a plunger which comprises a tubular body portion having an openable and closable discharge device at one end, and a pressure member provided inside the body portion and capable of reciprocating movement in the longitudinal direction of the body portion, in order to remove foreign objects blocking the pipes of a Western-style toilet, wherein the pressure member applies pressure to the inside of the body portion when it contains water, generating pressure which opens the discharge device provided at one end of the body portion, thereby spraying water with instantaneous pressure.

[0019] The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and various modifications and variations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical gist of the present invention.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1 to 17, the water jet plunger 10 of the present invention can include a hollow tubular body portion 100 and a pressure applying portion 200 having one end provided inside the body portion 100 and capable of reciprocating in the longitudinal direction of the body portion 100.

[0021] At this time, as shown in Figures 2 to 6, a discharge tool 120 for controlling water injected from outside is provided on one end side of the body part 100, and when the body part 100 contains water injected from outside, the opening and closing tool 130 is opened by the pressure generated by applying pressure to the pressure part 200 in the direction of the discharge tool 120, and the water contained in the direction of one end of the body part 100 and the instantaneous pressure can be discharged through the discharge tool 120.

[0022] The body part 100 may be a hollow tube as shown in Figures 2 and 3. In this case, the shape of the inside of the body part 100 and the shape of the piston 230 may be formed to correspond to each other so that the piston 230 provided in the pressurizing part 200 is inserted inside the body part 100 and moves in the longitudinal direction of the body part 100.

[0023] At this time, the body 100 can discharge the water contained inside the body 100 to the outside by the pressure generated by the pressure unit 200 moving from the top to the bottom inside the body 100, and in order to smoothly discharge the instantaneous pressure and the contained water to the outside, it is preferable that the internal shape of the body 100 is formed in a cylindrical shape.

[0024] In addition, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the body part 100 may be provided with a water inlet 110 so that water can be injected from the outside into the internal space, and the water inlet 110 may be formed at the other end of the body part 100 so as to be inclined upward while communicating with the body part 100.

[0025] The water inlet 110 is not limited in shape for injecting water into the inside of the body 100 from the outside and in the method for injecting water into the inside of the body 100 from the outside. However, in order to smoothly perform the role of injecting water into the inside of the body 100 from the outside, it is preferable that the water inlet 110 is formed to be inclined upward while communicating with the body 100 or to be formed to have an “L” shape in vertical cross section.

[0026] 6, the water inlet 110 can be connected to the body 100 at a position lower than the height at which the piston 230 of the pressurizing unit 200 disposed in the body 100 rises to the maximum in the body 100. As a result, when water is contained in the body 100, the pressure transmitted from the pressurizing unit 200 can be smoothly transmitted to the contained water via the piston 230.

[0027] Furthermore, the water contained inside the body 100 does not flow into the body 100 only through the water inlet 110. The method by which water flows into the body 100 from the outside is not important.

[0028] In this case, if the body 100 is not provided with the water inlet 110, the water may be allowed to flow into the body 100 through the other end of the hollow pressurizing part 200. This will be described in detail with reference to another example later.

[0029] As shown in Figures 1 to 15, the body portion 100 can include a siphon insertion device 140 at one end that forms an obtuse angle with the body portion 100 and is formed to a size that corresponds to the entrance of the siphon pipe 21 of the Western-style toilet 20, and can be inserted into the entrance of the siphon pipe 21 of the Western-style toilet 20.

[0030] At this time, the siphon insertion device 140 is formed at an obtuse angle as shown in Figures 2, 3, 16 and 17, and is formed so that it can be inserted into the entrance of the siphon pipe 21 of the Western-style toilet 20. Therefore, when the water contained inside the body part 100 is pressurized by the pressurizing part 200 with the siphon insertion device 140 inserted into the entrance of the siphon pipe of the Western-style toilet 20, the water contained inside the body part 100 and the instantaneous pressure are discharged toward the siphon pipe 21 of the Western-style toilet 20, thereby supplying strong pressure and water to the foreign object 23 stuck inside the siphon pipe 21.

[0031] In this case, since the Western-style toilet 20 is formed in a shape that gradually narrows from the bowl to the position where the siphon pipe 21 begins, the siphon inserter 140 can be formed in a shape that correspondingly narrows in area as it goes toward one end.

[0032] Furthermore, one end of the body 100 may be provided with a discharge tool 120 whose edge is formed in a plate shape corresponding to the inside of the body 100, as shown in Figs.

[0033] The dispenser 120 can be opened and closed by connecting a discharge hole 121 provided therein with an opening and closing tool 130. When the dispenser 120 is closed, the water injected into the body part 100 can be stored in the body part 100, and when the dispenser 120 is opened, the water stored in the body part 100 can be discharged toward one end of the body part 100.

[0034] 5, the discharge tool 120 may be disposed in an area adjacent to the siphon insert tool 140 provided in the body part 100. The discharge tool 120 has a hinge 123 provided on one surface in the direction in which the water contained inside the body part 100 is discharged, and one end of a connector 124 is coupled to the hinge 123, and the other end of the connector is coupled to one surface of the open / close tool 130, so that the open / close tool 130 can rotate at a fixed position.

[0035] At this time, a magnetic flange 122 is provided on the inner periphery of the discharge hole 121, and the opening / closing tool 130 is formed of a magnetic material. As a result, the opening / closing tool 130 can be coupled to the flange 122 provided on the inner periphery of the discharge hole 121 by magnetic force to open and close the discharge hole 121. For example, when pressure is transmitted from the pressurizing unit 200, the opening / closing tool 130 is released from the magnetic coupling with the discharge hole 121 by the pressure, and the discharge tool 120 is opened.

[0036] At this time, the water contained inside the body 100 is ejected by pressure, so that instantaneous pressure and water can be discharged to one end of the siphon insert 140 .

[0037] 13 and 14, the discharge tool 120 can be opened and closed by connecting the opening / closing tool 130 and one location on the inside of the body part 100 with an elastic member 150. For example, the opening / closing tool 130 is provided with a first spring piece 131 on one surface of the opening / closing tool 130 in the piston direction, and a second spring piece 132 is provided at one location on the inside of the body part 100 opposite the first spring piece 131, so that the first spring piece 131 and the second spring piece 132 can be connected with each other by the elastic member 150.

[0038] As a result, the discharge device 120 is normally maintained in a closed state by the elastic member 150, and when water is contained inside the body part 100 and the user presses the pressure part 200 in the direction of the discharge device 120, the water contained inside the body part 100 is sprayed by the pressure, and the instantaneous pressure and water pressurize the opening and closing device 130 to open the discharge device 120, thereby allowing the water to be discharged from one end of the siphon insertion device 140.

[0039] 1 to 4, the pressurizing unit 200 may include a handle 210 at one end and a piston 230 disposed inside the body 100. At this time, at least one piston O-ring 231 for sealing with the inside of the body 100 may be provided on the outer periphery of the piston 230.

[0040] In addition, the pressure applying unit 200 may include a stopper 260 toward one end of the region adjacent to the handle 210. By applying pressure to the pressure applying unit 200 toward the body 100 via the handle 210, the pressure applying unit 200 can be prevented from being inserted into the body 100 beyond a certain length.

[0041] As another example, the pressurizing unit 200 may further include piston valves 240A and 240B in a piston 230 provided at one end, as shown in FIGS.

[0042] At this time, as shown in Figures 7 to 9, the piston 230 has one surface facing the discharge tool 120 and a hole communicating with the pressurizing unit 200, and the hole communicating with the pressurizing unit 200 is opened and closed by a piston valve 240A consisting of a piston valve hinge 242 and a piston valve opening and closing plate 241, so that the piston 230 is normally kept in an open state, and when the pressurizing unit 200 receives a force from the outside and the piston 230 moves in the direction of the discharge tool 120 of the body unit 100, the hole communicating with the pressurizing unit 200 can be closed.

[0043] In this case, the pressurizing unit 200 may include a water inlet 250 at a position adjacent to the upper side of the piston 230, through which the water contained in the body unit 100 flows into the pressurizing unit 200.

[0044] Therefore, when water is stored inside the body portion 100, above the piston 230, the water that moves into the pressurizing portion 200 through the water inlet 250 can be caused to move in the direction of the discharge tool 120 of the body portion 100 by opening the piston valve 240A through the internal space of the piston 230.

[0045] This allows water to flow into the body portion 100 regardless of the position of the piston 230 of the pressurizing portion 200.

[0046] 10, 11 and 15, the pressurizing part 200 may be hollow tubular, and the water inlet 211 may be provided at the other end of the pressurizing part 200. In this case, the piston 230 may have a hole provided on one surface facing the discharge implement 120, which communicates with the pressurizing part 200, and the hole may include a piston valve 240B consisting of a piston valve plug 243 and a plug support part 244.

[0047] As a result, when a user injects water through the water inlet 211 provided at the other end of the pressurizing section 200, the water can pass through the inside of the pressurizing section 200 without passing through the body section 100, and move in the direction of the discharge tool 120 of the body section 100 via the piston valve 240B.

[0048] At this time, in the piston valve 240B, the piston plug 243 is positioned at the plug support portion 244 located below due to gravity, so that the water injected from the water inlet 211 can move in the direction of the dispenser 120.

[0049] At this time, when the user pressurizes the pressurizing unit 200 to discharge water, the piston plug 243 comes into contact with the water and closes the hole in the piston by the pressure, so that water does not flow back toward the pressurizing unit 200 when the water jet plunger 10 is being used.
